1 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,440 Stand for the reading of the word. 2 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,320 We are in a a Wednesday night series on Kingdom authority and 3 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,040 we're going to lay hands on people tonight. 4 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,000 Amen. And so we want to, we want to be 5 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,240 able to administer the word, but then be able to minister to 6 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:27,040 people as well. And so in Mark chapter one, 7 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,880 verse 21 to 22, it's kind of been our key text here. 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,800 It says they went into the Capernaum and immediately on the 9 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,200 Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and began to teach. 10 00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:41,120 And they were amazed at his teaching, for he was one, for he 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,720 was teaching them as one, having authority and not as the 12 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,760 scribes. You can be seated. 13 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,560 So we see here that Jesus, when he began to speak, there was 14 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,440 authority in the word that he spoke. 15 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,800 He is the word. You can speak the word without 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,200 authority because the scribes, you know, who wrote the word 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,960 out, they had, you know, they're connected with the priest and 18 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:10,000 the the Pharisees that are the ones that are delivering or 19 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,840 teaching the word. But yet when they speak, it 20 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,840 sounds like tradition. It just doesn't have the same 21 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,440 power associated with it. However, when Jesus speaks, 22 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,240 there is authority as if what he's saying will take place. 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,520 That's why Jesus addressing them in Matthew chapter 15 verse 7 24 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,480 and 9 says you hypocrites rightly did Isaiah prophecy of 25 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,560 you. These people, this people honor 26 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,160 me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:44,920 Does God know your heart? Yes, He does, always without 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,240 exception. OK, so just because, you know, a 29 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,040 lot of people are saying scriptures and singing songs and 30 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,480 posting things, that doesn't mean their heart is there. 31 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,800 OK, But God could identify that, He goes on to say, but in vain 32 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,400 do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men. 33 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,560 I was reminded of a time when I was in youth ministry and I had 34 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,120 taken our teenagers to a particular camp and, you know, 35 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,720 there was like a wall. We were in AI guess in an 36 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,720 auditorium, and some teenagers from different churches were up 37 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,360 against the wall. And man, they were just crying 38 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,760 out to God. I mean, really emotionally 39 00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:26,040 crying out to God. It was very obvious. 40 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,880 And yet our teenagers, you know, didn't seem as emotionally 41 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,040 connected. And I remember kind of feeling 42 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,800 like, man, I wish our teens would respond this way. 43 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,440 You know, I mean, they would raise in their hands, don't get 44 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,840 me wrong, but it just seemed like there was something. 45 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,720 And I'll never forget the voice of the Lord say to me, he says, 46 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,160 I really don't even hear them. Now that can sound offensive and 47 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,480 probably some people would take that offensive, right? 48 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,400 But again, it's what the spirit of the Lord said. 49 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,040 And you know what, it's not offense when the Lord says they 50 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,120 worship me in vain. He says this. 51 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,280 So if he knew that they were doing something out of a vain 52 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,520 scenario, well, he knows it. I didn't think it. 53 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,920 I'm thinking they're really doing something. 54 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,840 But he tells me not really hearing them. 55 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,360 He says they're, they're trying to get to me through their 56 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,880 emotions, but you have to worship me in spirit and in 57 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480 truth. He says you got to teach them 58 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,800 how to connect with the Spirit because I'm not moved by a 59 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,640 person's emotions. He's not. 60 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,880 Now that doesn't mean he won't do something for you out of 61 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,040 kindness. I'm not saying that that if a 62 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,440 person could only and that's the only way, they haven't even 63 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,400 engaged God and they're crying out from an emotional soulish 64 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,120 perspective. God is gracious, he's 65 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,160 compassionate, He's merciful and he can do something, but that's 66 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,680 not how we live. We live by faith. 67 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,440 We live to be led by the spirit. So what you have to watch is 68 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,280 that if you have an experience with God through an emotional 69 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,000 response, that's just God being kind to let you know he's there 70 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,200 and he wants to train you how you can do it a better way. 71 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,920 But a lot of times when people have a are touched by God in 72 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,840 their infancy as they're beginning with God because 73 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,279 again, God will start with you where you're at, but what's he 74 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,440 do? He's going to take you 75 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,000 somewhere. And if you want to stay in 76 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,360 preschool how you first felt him, he's like, well, I was just 77 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,920 letting you know I'm there and I want to take you somewhere. 78 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,000 Why you keep trying to come? This isn't the best living, but 79 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,560 I want to feel you like that feeling is not what you need 80 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,400 from me. What you need is my word, are 81 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,080 you hearing me? And so there's plenty of times 82 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,800 we don't watch out. We can have. 83 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,960 That's why events can be a little troubling because you can 84 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,640 have an experience with God. Will you feel him? 85 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,720 I mean, how many times you heard this? 86 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,840 And please don't be upset if you've said this to me, but 87 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:53,480 something like, oh, I'm getting goosebumps. 88 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,760 Goosebumps. There's not an indicator that 89 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,080 that is the Holy Ghost. It can happen, but don't think 90 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,080 every time goosebumps come that that is a manifestation of the 91 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,800 Holy Spirit itself. And then don't be looking for 92 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,080 that. Well, I need to get in the room 93 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,560 so that my hair can stand on on edge, you know, on the back of 94 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,160 my neck, you know, or I that's see now that's being led by your 95 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,080 feeling. No, I know he's in the room 96 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,640 because he inhabits the praises of his people. 97 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,760 He lives in me. I am the temple of the Holy 98 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,120 Ghost, so I know he's in the room. 99 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,920 I know he's here. I don't need any other 100 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,240 demonstration. If he allows it, I don't have a 101 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,400 problem. If he his power came so much in 102 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,040 that I fell on my face and I couldn't get up, great. 103 00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:54,840 But I don't think God wants us to live where his power presses 104 00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:57,880 us on the floor for 5 to 11 hours. 105 00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:04,440 That then that's all we want. I remember that service. 106 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,280 I was down for 11 hours. Well, did he talk to you? 107 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,200 Was there some things you were supposed to do not do? 108 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,400 Did you need some rest and he needed you to stay out for a 109 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,600 little bit because you've been run too? 110 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,400 I don't know. But at the end of the day, we're 111 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,520 not led by being slain in the spirit for hours on end, right? 112 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,600 So again, he's dealing with individuals that give this 113 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,600 impression and their conversation lacks no authority. 114 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,120 That's good. None at all. 115 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,400 That's why Jesus preceding in Matthew 15 three this little 116 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,760 statement. He says to them, He says, and he 117 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,720 answered and said to them, why do you transgress the 118 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,720 commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 119 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,600 And we said this when biblical truths are replaced with 120 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,320 traditional truths, then authority is lost. 121 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:53,560 Now, again, when I say traditional truth, I don't mean 122 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,400 they're actually truths. I just mean they're traditions 123 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,720 that we formed as truths because we've made doctrine the precepts 124 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,320 of men. But we, they consider them 125 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,000 truths. Biblical truth is what has 126 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,600 authority. It holds real power. 127 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,640 All right. And we function with power. 128 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,120 You know, the church is powerful. 129 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,720 It is powerful. It is the most powerful thing on 130 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,000 the planet. I mean, just knowing that when 131 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,640 you come in this room should make this room electric in the 132 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:30,000 spirit that you're not like we have power when we have some 133 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,560 power. The Holy Ghost has given us 134 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,560 power through the name of Jesus. We have power. 135 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,000 We are not a dead head waiting to get along. 136 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,040 You know, a subject to everything like everybody else. 137 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,520 And again, this kind of teaching, people say all they're 138 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,240 talking about a little God complex. 139 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:52,000 We are children of God. I didn't call myself that. 140 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:59,120 And if I'm in Christ, then I can function as God has ordained us 141 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,080 by faith and do some pretty amazing things. 142 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:11,360 I do not want my conversation to only sound like quoting 143 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,000 Scripture with no power. Well, you know, I'm going to 144 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,000 pray for you. Please don't. 145 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,880 Because if there's no power, don't pray. 146 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,680 This is why we say we don't want to be known as a church that 147 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,200 prays every religion, false religions pray. 148 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,800 We want to be known as a church that has answered prayers. 149 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,559 Are we going to pray? Yes, but they will be answered 150 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,880 because God's not withholding from his church when you ask 151 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,840 according to his will Woo you have it Hallelujah. 152 00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:45,600 So you got to have a firm persuasion. 153 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,640 So the difference between the precepts of men we could call 154 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,760 religion and the Kingdom of God is authority is authority. 155 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,280 And again, the precepts of men sound good. 156 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,040 You know it. It tends to touch us where we 157 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:09,560 feel, you know, when there's a plenty of of, of people that you 158 00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:14,560 can connect to on a personal emotional level of things you've 159 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:17,720 gone through. And I was talking to Anna when 160 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,120 she was making my coffee tonight and you know, about the ladies 161 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,720 that she's helping that in the ministry. 162 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,760 And I'm, she said, I just want him to get it. 163 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:37,160 Well, she can provide a place. She can give them clothes, feed 164 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,840 them, you know, have food and all this stuff can start to 165 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,280 function. She may even be able to say, I 166 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,760 know how you feel, I've been in that place before. 167 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,080 She may even have personal testimony with some of them. 168 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,960 However, none of that change. She could cry with them, but 169 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,480 none of it changes unless the word shown in their heart 170 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,000 springs forth in a renewal of their mind that they then begin 171 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,760 to walk out that which they've been redeemed and made in the 172 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,800 likeness of and function in. And that's what she's doing, 173 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,120 endeavoring. Let's catch it. 174 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,520 Let's get the Spirit of God. Then there's power with God. 175 00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:18,680 It's not like some please transition and just keeping 176 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:21,160 your, you know, routine. It's like we're bringing you 177 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,480 out. You're going somewhere else. 178 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,880 I placed you in a place of power, a place where there's 179 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,800 authority, a place where you can overcome, right? 180 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,880 We should be living that when we are at work. 181 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,440 People like Mandy, it's like what you say and do happens. 182 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,920 Come on, come on, How come you have this kind of authority? 183 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,440 Well, Jesus gave it to me. And Thayer's definition of 184 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,560 authority, which we described, says this, the power of rule or 185 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:50,960 government, that is the power of him whose will and commands must 186 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,400 be submitted to by others and obeyed. 187 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,000 So again, you know, most of the time, because of the Greek word 188 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,440 authority that seen most mostly within the New Testament, is 189 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,240 considered through by definition, this delegated 190 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,720 power. But this delegated power is the 191 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,280 word of a government of which its will is commanded to be 192 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,400 obeyed because it will come to pass. 193 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,080 And again, as we said, if the simple definition of authority 194 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,160 is only delegated power, it it ends up losing its meaning 195 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,480 somewhere. Because I've received power from 196 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,320 God, because God gave it to me, it was delegated. 197 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,160 The Holy Spirit has power because it was delegated to him 198 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,720 by Jesus. He said he's not going to speak 199 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,000 on his own initial, but whatever he hears from me, he'll say 200 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,480 Jesus himself has delegated power. 201 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,280 He says, you know what, I don't speak on my own initiative, but 202 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,160 what my father says is what he says. 203 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,800 That's why the centurion says, man, I'm a man like you under 204 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,680 authority and in authority. What you're functioning in is 205 00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:51,320 delegated authority. And I have that. 206 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,360 And Jesus, like I've not seen such great faith. 207 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,680 No, not in all Israel. However, if delegated authority 208 00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:04,760 is a delegated power is authority, and the Father has 209 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,280 authority, well then who gave him his? 210 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,680 So really authority is the final say on anything. 211 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:20,480 It is the final verdict, and the Father holds that glory to God, 212 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,080 He holds the final say. So when we say delegated power 213 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:31,960 is really the delegated final say, he's saying Jesus say this 214 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,280 Jesus. The word speaks. 215 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,840 The Holy Spirit tells us. So when we hear what the Father 216 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:43,160 has said, when we speak, we're really speaking the final say. 217 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,360 It is the final verdict. It's like the Supreme Court 218 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,440 hitting the gavel. It is now the law of the land. 219 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,920 It is as the King has declared, and everything must align with 220 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:59,080 that word. Hallelujah, now you can 'cause 221 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:05,360 that final say to not perform in your life if you do not believe, 222 00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:09,960 and you will make it null and void based upon unbelief, 223 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,800 meaning you just won't see it function in your life, although 224 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,120 the power for it to come to pass is still available nonetheless. 225 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,600 That's why a person can receive healing and someone beside them, 226 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:27,320 not the difference between the two is their firm persuasion 227 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,160 that what the father just said. That's it cannot be any other 228 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:36,600 way period. And when you have a firm 229 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,080 persuasion like that cause again, your your faith life 230 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:44,040 depends on understanding the authority of the words you're 231 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,560 believing. And This is why in our and you 232 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:54,040 know, it's so important to teach the word because if you're a 233 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,400 person, you know that knows where you're going to go when 234 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,560 you die, but you don't study and understand God's authority now, 235 00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:07,000 then you know you'll delay the belief. 236 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,960 And the reason you'll say I have faith but nothing happens is 237 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:18,080 because it's really become a precept of man, your faith and 238 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,560 not really the word of God, the power of God. 239 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,160 I'm telling you, people are going to go to go to heaven one 240 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,880 day and realize what they could have done. 241 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,880 That's going to happen. And again, Jesus has no problem 242 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,400 telling you he loves you. I mean, he gets in a boat. 243 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,040 He says, hey, let's go to the other side. 244 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,320 What did he say? What did he say? 245 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,360 What did he say? He is the Lord supreme and 246 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,880 authority. He said, so he goes to sleep, 247 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,760 but what happens? A storm comes. 248 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,400 Does the storm hinder his word? Not at all. 249 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:09,000 Only if you look at it, if you give power to it, if you 250 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,800 believe, that's more power. And Jesus never believed that, 251 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,920 but the disciples did. So much so that they wake him 252 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,200 and say, do you not care that we are going to die? 253 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,840 Basically, you're liar or you said to go. 254 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,680 So we are going in our strength and not your word. 255 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,440 Well, I'm trying to go to the other side. 256 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,200 I want to go to the other side. You said to go the other side, 257 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,240 but I can't get to the other side because of the storm and 258 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,120 because of this storm. It's so bad. 259 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,320 Now we're probably going to die and I need to wake him up 260 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,960 because what good you know, we need to help. 261 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,400 He needs to know his life set danger. 262 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,960 I mean, a person who cares about something's going to tell them, 263 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,920 don't you? But he didn't say we're we're 264 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,240 concerned you'll die with us. They said, aren't you? 265 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,680 Aren't you concerned? I mean, don't you know we were 266 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:10,080 going to die? And Jesus is like what he 267 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,840 rebukes the winds and the waves. They're blown away and then he 268 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,280 corrects them is why you have no faith, why you have a little 269 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:24,400 faith? Why'd you let the storm become a 270 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:31,960 doctrine to you? And there's many that get the 271 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,120 storms of life and say, well, the Lord sent this storm. 272 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,960 He's trying to teach me something. 273 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,520 You know, I was trying to get there, but I didn't. 274 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,240 But God knows what he's doing sounds good, sounds holy. 275 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,480 We post about it, but the Lord's like, yeah, but you're not 276 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,240 telling them the whole story. I mean, again, if we were 277 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,600 interviewing Peter and them, they would be like, man, we the 278 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,840 Jesus was Jesus, man. He was in the boat and we were 279 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,560 really concerned for his life. We were just praising him. 280 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,440 We were like taking a nap and we're going to do this. 281 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,960 We we're with you. But man, that storm hit. 282 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,160 It was rough and I don't know why God did that to our lives. 283 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,480 I don't know. But you know, I think he was 284 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,839 here to help us build camaraderie, teamwork. 285 00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:13,520 He wanted to see our compassion for the ones that are sleeping 286 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,079 in underwear, you know. So again, what did we do? 287 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,960 We woke him up. We're like, hey, we're going to 288 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,680 die. You should get up that way. 289 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,560 Maybe we all won't die. Try to figure something out 290 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,079 because I don't know why God does these things and brings 291 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:28,040 these storms a lot, but he helps build my character. 292 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,400 And Jesus all around said, well, tell him what I said. 293 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:34,840 Oh, y'all don't want to hear this? 294 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,920 OK, that's all right. It preached better in the 295 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,120 Pentecostal church, I guess. Now we're not giving a whole 296 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,960 story because you don't know what God has said in someone's 297 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,880 spirit. Don't take the job. 298 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,480 Well, I took that job, man. It seemed like promotion. 299 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,080 I just knew the God was blessing me. 300 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,360 But then everything went crazy, you know, and I, you know, I 301 00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:59,400 don't know why God. And they're not saying, well, 302 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:06,880 you know, he did say, or he said take this job, but I didn't want 303 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:07,440 to move. That's good. 304 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,760 I didn't want to do something different. 305 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,440 He did tell me to go to that church. 306 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:29,520 He said don't marry her. Oh, yeah, I'm. 307 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,200 We're not getting that story. I mean, all of you could say, 308 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,520 yeah, you better watch out because you're posting on social 309 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,080 media. Be honest. 310 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,080 I love to say that the Lord did all this to teach me something. 311 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,160 You know what I can learn? Because what the devil meant for 312 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,920 bad got a term for good. But just let it be known. 313 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,360 He told me before I ever got in it, and I disobeyed. 314 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,320 Can I just be honest? I disobeyed. 315 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,560 But he's so gracious and you know, when I got in this 316 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,720 calamity and I said, Lord, I didn't believe you had your 317 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,320 word, please forgive me. That man, he calls the winds and 318 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,240 the waves to stop. He told me, next time believe. 319 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:14,080 Quit being a slacker. I mean, be honest. 320 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,960 But what we want to make sure everybody knows that we are the 321 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,760 spiritual elite and we're going to help them through their 322 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,760 trial. I don't want you helping me 323 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,280 through a trial that you never should have got in. 324 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,000 Be honest with me and tell me I didn't listen. 325 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,160 OK, thank you. So now let's dissect your 326 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:40,280 problem because I'll learn what to avoid when you do not listen. 327 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:45,520 Because you know what? This is what we'll do. 328 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,760 Somebody's been through some calamity in your life, and then 329 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,800 you're in it. And you're like, Lord, Yeah. 330 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,160 You're not a respecter of person. 331 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,880 What you different Lords like, look, this is a totally 332 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,240 different scenario. You can't use theirs. 333 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,520 They should have never been in that. 334 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,320 OK. Oh, Hallelujah. 335 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,240 Now just stay with the word, OK? Jesus. 336 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,680 Matthew 2818 says this. And Jesus came up and spoke to 337 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,160 them saying, come on, how much? Come on. 338 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,680 I'll let you go earlier if you if you interact with me. 339 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,240 OK, if not, I'll stay till 10. I have no wife at the house. 340 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:30,840 I just forewarn you, there's no rush for me to go home. 0 So me, 341 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,040 I feel like a Paul preaching coming on till midnight is 342 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,520 what's about to come on me. If I don't get a little response 343 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,960 up in this place right here, we'll preach till midnight and 344 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,080 I'll preach myself happy and believe God. 345 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,640 You'll be awake in the morning to go to work. 346 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,240 No problem. OK? 347 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,560 Jesus came and spoke to them. How much authority? 348 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,880 Come on, how much? How much is all? 349 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:02,680 How much is all? All authority has been given to 350 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:09,200 me in heaven. And man, you're on the earth. 351 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,760 What could possibly happen to the church that the head of the 352 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,920 church does not have authority over? 353 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,880 You got to get down your spirit. What in the world can happen in 354 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:31,080 the earth that our king, his name is not above it? 355 00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:40,280 Oh Mama, all authority. Nothing should strike fear in 356 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,040 you. Ever when bad news comes, 357 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,120 calamity hits. You're like you're on the 358 00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:48,600 throne. What's the word king? 359 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,720 You've not given me a spirit of fear, but of what power? 360 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,800 Why? You have power 'cause you have 361 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,800 his authority. You just need to know what the 362 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,840 king says about the situation so that you can declare the King's 363 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,360 words. Hallelujah. 364 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,120 John chapter 14, verse 10. The 14 says this. 365 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,160 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in 366 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,800 me? The words that I say to you, I 367 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,640 do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father 368 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,280 abiding me does his works. Man, that's a lesson. 369 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,760 If this is not like a page that every believer in the globe, 370 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,120 especially in the United States, needs to put on their every 371 00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,760 round everywhere around their house and keep this quote in 372 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,520 front of them. I do not speak on my own 373 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,880 initiative. You have to kill your 374 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,120 independent opinion. Got to kill the spirit of 375 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:55,320 independence because in the Kingdom is that it is the most 376 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,920 dangerous word. Because the minute you start 377 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:05,280 thinking independent, you are going to rebel against His word. 378 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,040 And when you rebel against His word, death enters in. 379 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,760 He's life contrary to His word is death. 380 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,440 And if the head of the church doesn't speak on his own accord, 381 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,640 why do we think we have the right to do it ourselves? 382 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,000 Why does this happen? He said, believe me that I am in 383 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,600 the Father and the Father is in me. 384 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,040 Otherwise believe because of the works themselves. 385 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,120 Then he goes on and says his verse 12. 386 00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:37,440 This is so powerful. Are you ready for this verse? 387 00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:42,640 Are you ready for it? Truly, truly, I say to you, he 388 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:52,320 or she, the person who believes in me, the works that I do, He 389 00:23:52,960 --> 00:24:05,920 might sometimes when you get to heaven will do, will do because 390 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,560 I go to the Father, right and then he goes on said ain't 391 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,720 greater worse than these he will do because I go to the Father. 392 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,080 Why? Because this miraculous is not 393 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,960 being independently put within Jesus himself. 394 00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:24,240 He is about to deploy it among his children. 395 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,200 He goes on and says whatever, and we know this in connection 396 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,360 to 1st John chapter 5. It's anything according to his 397 00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:34,920 will, not you telling God what you want. 398 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:43,920 He's not a genie. Come on not a genie now Jesus 399 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,280 I'm praying that you do this for me and the Lord's like you're 400 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,040 not even listening before you're talking. 401 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,320 Be quick to man got to be quick to hear money of we just give 402 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,800 them petitions without even what should we say because when I say 403 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,080 what you say it is forever settled. 404 00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:10,920 OK, whatever you asking my name that I might I could on some 405 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,480 occasions I don't most of the time I won't because I just want 406 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,120 to see if you trust me without it. 407 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,800 No, he said that. I mean, I don't understand how 408 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,880 you how do you rectify these statements? 409 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,560 Jesus is not a liar, right? Right. 410 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,200 Amen. And people get combated. 411 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,480 Why? Because the precepts of man will 412 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,800 get competitive, combative with the simplicity of the authority 413 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,160 of God that he has given to us. Here's the thing. 414 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,240 We don't want any responsibility. 415 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,520 Yet you cannot read the Bible and say it's just about God 416 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,160 because it was just about God. Then it'd be nothing about man. 417 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,640 No, he's got a lot to say about man and his responsibility. 418 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:09,560 God will do his part. You must do your part, and your 419 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,800 part is simply believing, believing in his part. 420 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,840 That's that's we've got it easy. All we have to do is believe. 421 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,120 All we have to do is believe. And again, what is believing? 422 00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:30,000 How do you know that? You know 3 + 2 = 3 + 2 equals. 423 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,240 I mean, are you confident? If you don't sense that same 424 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,160 confidence with what God's saying about any situation in 425 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,360 your life, then you're not in faith. 426 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,640 And if you're like, yeah, but that's precepts of man. 427 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,160 You're trying to create a doctrine around your feelings 428 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,840 and situation instead of saying, Lord, what don't I know so that 429 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,440 I can get to the place five. It's this way, and there's no 430 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,600 other way. Whatever you ask Him, I name 431 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,120 that I will do so that the Father may be glorified in the 432 00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:07,880 Son. If you ask anything, how, how, 433 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:15,560 how? In my name, I will do it. 434 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,160 Will He do it? Come on. 435 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,160 Will He do it? Will He do it? 436 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,240 All you got to do is ask in His name. 437 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:32,120 Now look at this in Acts chapter 16, In the name of Jesus, OK? 438 00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:33,840 And I'm going to give you a case and then we're going to talk 439 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,520 about this for a minute because if you ask anything in my name, 440 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,920 I will do it. In Acts chapter 16, verse 16 to 441 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,720 18, we've already read that all authorities have been given to 442 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,120 Jesus in heaven and earth. And he says go therefore. 443 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:49,800 And he says those that go and believe these signs will follow. 444 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,880 One of those signs is that you can cast out devils, OK? 445 00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,200 And so here's Paul in a particular community, and it 446 00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,160 happened as we were going to the place of prayer, this slave girl 447 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,680 having a spirit of divination, which means she had a spirit on 448 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,720 her, an evil spirit, not from God, not an Angel. 449 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,840 OK, met us who was bringing her Master much profit by fortune 450 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,240 telling. In essence, she had a familiar 451 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:21,600 spirit on her in her OK. At minimum, she was oppressed. 452 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,840 It was in her mind, could have been possessed. 453 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,960 It definitely was attached to her. 454 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,360 And this familiar spirit could go out because it's a spirit. 455 00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,560 It's in the spirit realm. It can go out and follow you. 456 00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:38,040 Find out where you went, what you were wearing yesterday, what 457 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,400 you ate. Go back to the girl. 458 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,160 That way when she comes of art, she can say yesterday you were 459 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:48,040 at that's good. So again, you say, well I'm a go 460 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,360 to fortune teller, so you're going to go to demonic people. 461 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,040 Well, and I've heard people post this now, if your child was 462 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,320 kidnapped and you knew a fortune teller could, would you not go 463 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,120 to her? My answer is emphatically 464 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:06,360 absolutely no, because I do not need the devil to help me find 465 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:11,880 my child Jesus. If I'm going to the fortune 466 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,640 teller because my child is kidnapped, it's so I can rebuke 467 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,200 that demon out of that one and go to Jesus about where my child 468 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:23,360 is. That is the silliest question 469 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:30,040 ever, But Christians will pose that anyway. 470 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,200 She's a fortune teller following after Paul, and she kept crying 471 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,840 out. These men are the bond servants 472 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,800 of the Most High God. Now, is that a true statement? 473 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,400 It is a true statement Who are proclaiming to you the way of 474 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,960 salvation. Is that a true statement? 475 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,440 That is an absolute true statement. 476 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,400 And she continued doing this for many days. 477 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,160 But Paul was greatly annoyed and Turner said so. 478 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,280 In essence, he's like, this is not the Spirit of God-given an 479 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,120 announcement on my behalf. Now let me tell you why he has 480 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,160 to do this. Paul has come into the 481 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,920 community. He's here to set up a church. 482 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,240 Are you hearing me and he is proclaimed. 483 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,760 He is there sent by the most High and he is proclaiming the 484 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,680 way of salvation. If he doesn't deal with this 485 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,680 when he leaves, then that spirit can come into the church because 486 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,920 I say, did I not tell you that Paul was doing this? 487 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,480 They're like you did my life's changed. 488 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,920 Did I not tell you that he was a he did thus saith the Lord. 489 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,280 This is a problem. So Paul's annoyed at this. 490 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,600 He says I command you. He turned and said to the 491 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,640 Spirit, not to the girl. Now if you were in the crowd, it 492 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,960 would look like he's talking to the girl, but he's not. 493 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:48,560 He's talking to the Spirit. He says, I command you how in 494 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,560 the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of 495 00:30:51,560 --> 00:31:00,280 her and he came out. When did it debate? 496 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,400 No. Did it argue? 497 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,320 No. Did it fight? 498 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,160 Well, let's turn to Acts chapter 19 and Acts chapter 19 verse 13 499 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:14,760 to 6 and it said but some also Acts chapter 19 of the Jewish 500 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,480 exorcist who went from place to place attempted to name over 501 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,920 those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus saying I 502 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:29,440 adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches seven sons of 1 Skeeva. 503 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,240 This is he was a left-handed Jew, a Jewish chief priest. 504 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,360 We're doing this next verse. The evil spirit answered 505 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,640 answered not come out but answered and said to them, I 506 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:48,400 recognize Jesus and I know about Paul. 507 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:58,520 But, but, but, but, but who are you? 508 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,640 And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them. 509 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,880 Now the spirit didn't come out. The spirit stayed in the man 510 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,600 and, and then supernaturally gave this manpower, leaped on 511 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:15,560 all of them, overpowered all seven of them, and stripped them 512 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,240 naked, beat them up and send them out the house. 513 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:29,240 Now we said this last week, 70 come back Jesus, even the demons 514 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,880 are subject to us in your name. He says, I saw Satan fall out 515 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,680 lightning from heaven. I said don't rejoice over this 516 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,400 as much as know your name is written in the Lamb's book of 517 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,560 life. The relationship is the most 518 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,640 important thing. Here's what these two passages 519 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,480 lets us know. If all you want to do is invoke 520 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,640 the name so that you look powerful, come on then. 521 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,400 He's not Lord. He's not your Lord. 522 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,440 This is what happened with Simon the Sorcerer. 523 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,720 They, the Peter and John, came down to lay hands on people 524 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,600 after Philip had been preaching the gospel of the Kingdom and 525 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,440 people were being healed. And then Peter and John came 526 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,120 down because he said, hey, people are getting saved. 527 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,680 We need to come start a church. Apostles come plant a church 528 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,240 here. So they came and they begin to 529 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,080 lay hands on people. Now it doesn't say they laid 530 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,520 hands. You have to break down the word 531 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,120 Saul. The word Saul means seeing 532 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,920 something spoken. So they laid hands on them and 533 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,480 they were he saw that they were baptized in the Holy Ghost. 534 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,280 It's seeing something spoken. They began to speak in other 535 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,880 tongues and psalmist like give me what can I pay because he was 536 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,680 a sorcerer. He did tricks sleight of hands. 537 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,640 He said what can I do to get this power? 538 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,840 And he says you're cursed. If this is your position, you 539 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,960 have no lot to play with this nothing, right? 540 00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,000 Because again, it's very dangerous when the believer 541 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:05,920 wants authority and to function in the name just so they can 542 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,239 walk and say, well, I laid hands on people that got healed and I 543 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,719 did this and I did that and I did this and look how God's 544 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:16,560 using me. That's good. 545 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,920 And again, it's happening all over our world because again, a 546 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,719 lot of times these things get posted on on Instagram and 547 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,480 honestly, I cannot figure out with some of them whether it's 548 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,560 just truly trying to glorify God or for you to think, wow, 549 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:33,320 they're anointed. OK. 550 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:41,400 However, this in the name is is a term that when EW Kenyon was 551 00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:45,520 talking about the the the name of Jesus and in Christ reality 552 00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:49,280 and an attorney came to him and he says, wait a minute, what did 553 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,880 you say? He says that you can ask 554 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,360 anything in his name. He said yes, So he went looked 555 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,080 it up. He said that statement is what 556 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:04,720 we do called power of attorney. I have right now a legal 557 00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:07,200 document. I probably should get my glasses 558 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,520 so I can read it better.

Yeah, that's legal. 589 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,320 Let me tell you the blood of Jesus Christ when he wrote your 590 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,960 name in the Lamb's book alive, and he said go therefore in my 591 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:52,480 name, which means I do not have to get Pastor Angie to consent 592 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,040 with me to be able to invoke the name of Jesus in a situation in 593 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,840 my life. He has given me this power to 594 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,800 pull heaven's authority into the realm of the earth. 595 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,360 And the devil sure has to listen. 596 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,920 But not only the devil, sickness and disease has to listen. 597 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,720 Are you hearing what I'm saying? Poverty and lack has to listen 598 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,400 because I have the power of authority. 599 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,440 I just sold my mom's car to a dealership. 600 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,920 Walked in, They said, is this clean title? 601 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,520 Yep, it's clean. Send my mom's name. 602 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,880 Oh, is it? Yep, I said, but she's in 603 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,560 assisted living and I have power of attorney. 604 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,280 Come on, I said. I called the county already to 605 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,400 see, do I need to get into my name before I sell it? 606 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,680 They say it's not necessary. If you have power of attorney, 607 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,760 just have them make a copy of it, send it in so that when the 608 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,040 title's changed over, we know you're acting in full authority 609 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,560 on her behalf, making decisions as if she was personally 610 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,240 present, doing it herself. So when you invoke the name of 611 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,520 Jesus, it's as if Jesus, who's seated at the right hand of the 612 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,200 Father, comes up off the throne and comes down into the earth 613 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:19,920 and gets inside your body and is speaking right then. 614 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,760 That's the power of attorney. That's what we have. 615 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,800 So how in the world can the Church of Jesus Christ that 616 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,960 Jesus is building? We are wanted. 617 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:39,840 Come on, crime begging. I mean for me to say mom, mom, 618 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,080 mom, Mom, I need you to come back. 619 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,880 I need you to come back into my time zone. 620 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,920 I need you to quit having these conversations with people have 621 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,360 been dead a long time ago because of dementia. 622 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,240 Mom, I need you to be able to come with me so I can. 623 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,560 I need you to come. I have power. 624 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,520 That's like Jesus. I need Jesus. 625 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:11,640 Like I've given you power. All right? 626 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,080 I mean, what else? What? 627 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,520 There's nothing great. I've given you my name. 628 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,640 I've given you my name and you're wanting me to literally 629 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:29,480 show up. I've given you my name. 630 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:35,600 See, This is why when we have made the Bible a religious book 631 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:42,200 instead of a Kingdom book and we get upset about words like 632 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:47,960 legal. Now legalism is defined 633 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:53,720 religiously as I am doing something independent of God 634 00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:58,560 according to his word, and it will be good enough that God has 635 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,680 to accept me. But we know that can't happen. 636 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:08,520 But yet God is a legal God. And legal is not a bad word in 637 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,320 the church. In fact, it is an empowering 638 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,680 word. Because when I show up and 639 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,280 someone said, well, you can't, Oh yeah, I can. 640 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,080 Yes, I can. I mean, it's amazing if we 641 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,280 function in the world like we do with God. 642 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:34,640 Give me your keys because I want to take all your cars to my 643 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,440 house. You say, well, that's mine, 644 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,120 doesn't matter. I'll take him. 645 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,840 So well, I guess the Lord wanting him to have it. 646 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,800 But you're going to pay your car payment. 647 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,880 I'm not paying it. You're paying the car payment. 648 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,040 You're going to get it. Oil chain. 649 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,400 I'm just going to use it whenever I want to. 650 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,960 You're like, no, no bro, you're going to take your own. 651 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,720 You're going to buy your own stuff, right? 652 00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:00,440 Because again, just like, well, that's my car. 653 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:06,120 I'm taking it today. We were like, you're crazy, like 654 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,480 I'm going to come live in your house. 655 00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:09,120 I'm going to come paint your house. 656 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,680 I'm going to put it, change it like I want. 657 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,840 You're like, what are you doing? This is legally mine. 658 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,480 I mean, you would you let someone who had no home come 659 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,120 squat in your house? You'd be like, what are you 660 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,640 doing here? But yet we're like Jesus and 661 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:25,800 he's like, what are you doing here? 662 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:29,480 I've already given you the authority. 663 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:36,080 I've given it to you. Just pull out the paper, which 664 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,760 is the word of God, and speak it. 665 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,120 Speak it. I can't get off these drugs. 666 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:44,880 Name it. Name the drug. 667 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:45,920 Please. Just give me a name. 668 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,840 Give me any name. Someone throw out a drug name. 669 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:49,680 What? Adderall. 670 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:50,680 Adderall. Give me another one. 671 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,520 Cocaine. Give me another one. 672 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,520 Yes, speed marijuana, although they're trying to make that 673 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:02,600 legal. Nick tobacco, Barleys and hops, 674 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,400 right? I mean, we just name it. 675 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,440 All those names are still under his name, which means he has 676 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,800 authority over them. So they can't tell you. 677 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,040 You got to put me in you. You, you need to go buy some for 678 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,440 so you need it. You're like, no, you have no 679 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,960 authority over me. In the name of Jesus I am free 680 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:27,880 from addiction. I remember I have prayed for 681 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,960 people that had smoked for years and they would come down and I 682 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,680 begin to pray for them like I want to quit. 683 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,400 I said OK great. And I said, I In the name of 684 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:43,160 Jesus, I rebuke the effects of tobacco and nicotine in their 685 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,520 body. And I command it in the name of 686 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:52,400 Jesus to come out of their body. It must not reside in their in 687 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,120 their cells. It can't hang out on their 688 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,880 epidermis on the ends of their nail. 689 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,320 And I'm telling you, it would smell so bad a few times I would 690 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:07,600 gag of the smell of nicotine coming out of their pores. 691 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,600 No side effects because the name of Jesus will do that. 692 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,880 I said the name of Jesus. We'll do that. 693 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,760 I mean, if a person, I don't care how bad you are, how far 694 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:24,600 strung out you are, how far gone you are, it with lust, you know, 695 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,480 pornography, I don't care. His name's above it all. 696 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,560 Are you hearing me? I mean, you do not have to allow 697 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,600 any spirit of lust to keep trying to show up in your life. 698 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,720 You can rebuke it, bond it. It has no way to get through 699 00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:45,840 your house. And in your doors you have the 700 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,040 power of attorney. Oh, Lord, take this for me. 701 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,200 The Lord's like, Say my name. Say my name, man. 702 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,720 Say my name like I took it. I've already done this. 703 00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:57,000 I did it on the cross. I have done it. 704 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,360 It's done. That was the day I signed the 705 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,080 document. Gave you power of attorney on 706 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,520 the earth. I gave the dominion back to you 707 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,480 so that you can rule and reign over all your circumstances. 708 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,920 No problem. No problem. 709 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,440 It's a power of attorney, yet we made it a religious book instead 710 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:21,800 of a legal binding covenant where the name of G and when you 711 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,200 believe it like that, you'll get exactly. 712 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,840 And I didn't go into the dealership afraid. 713 00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:34,760 I did not go into the dealership ringing my hands and hoping I 714 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,320 didn't say, well, I hope this works. 715 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,320 So I'm selling a car. OK, Great. 716 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:44,680 We'd love to look at it. Great. 717 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,520 OK. It's title and your name. 718 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:52,880 I hope this. No. 719 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,560 Oh, well, if it's not your name, we can't. 720 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,680 OK. And then we walk out. 721 00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:01,560 Yet you have the power to say it's true. 722 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:08,840 But. But I said, but you know, you've 723 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,560 been redeemed from the law of sin and death. 724 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,800 So when the devil tries to say you're like, but I have this 725 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,240 document called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, 726 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,480 Hallelujah. I said Hallelujah. 727 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,960 You know, I love it when people try to run from the law because 728 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,720 they have authority. You start taking off and then 729 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:34,120 they make a few calls and then they turn on the cameras. 730 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,640 Man. I've gone down to Saint Johns 731 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,360 County where they have all the cameras all over county. 732 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,320 It's like, it's like eagle. What was that one movie? 733 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,040 Eagle eye. Yes. 734 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,080 Eagle eye, bro. No doubt. 735 00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:50,520 They got their eagle eye on my campus because I've given them 736 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,400 access to our cameras. Ain't nobody walking up in here. 737 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,000 Nobody's walking up in here. You driving on? 738 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,480 Guess what? We got you tag. 739 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,160 Yeah, right. We have a school. 740 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,280 We have a preschool. You're not rolling up in here, 741 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,400 right? You know, I just wish we could 742 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,800 do a little different with the ones running the little Donuts 743 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,680 in my parking lot. But we did catch 1 the other day 744 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:23,160 because again, the camera goes off, the call goes in, and while 745 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:29,520 they're still, you know, smoking in my parking lot, the authority 746 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:34,600 showed up. Hallelujah, right? 747 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,840 And again, I'm watching. I watched one where this guy had 748 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,480 a, they stole a car and they showed me this. 749 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,200 And so they found out where it was at. 750 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,280 Then they would go on the cameras and start tracking where 751 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,760 it was. And then they tracked him all 752 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,000 the way to a gate. He was getting gas. 753 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,040 Next thing you know, all the cops show up. 754 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,160 So he takes off. You know, I do encourage our 755 00:47:58,160 --> 00:47:59,960 police officers. They really should stay in much 756 00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:04,480 better shape, but they took off. But again, there was enough 757 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,000 there that it's kind of hard to outrun cars. 758 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,360 And ultimately they apprehended him. 759 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:14,160 But, you know, for a season he thought he was free. 760 00:48:19,540 --> 00:48:27,900 Well, if man can track US that way, where do you think you are 761 00:48:27,900 --> 00:48:35,620 that God doesn't see you? Where does his authority not 762 00:48:35,620 --> 00:48:42,040 extend? Oh, I'm thankful for the name of 763 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,520 Jesus. Can we let me close with this 764 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,040 scripture and we pray for people, OK. 765 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,760 And Acts chapter 3, verse one through 8, it says now Peter and 766 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,320 John were going up to the temple at the 9th hour, the hour of 767 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,240 prayer and a man who had been lame from his mother's womb. 768 00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:56,000 So how long have you got your problem? 769 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,360 Well, I found out I was diagnosed with cancer. 770 00:48:58,360 --> 00:48:59,760 But you didn't have cancer before, right? 771 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:04,560 This guy's had a birth problem. Now I will qualify this. 772 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:12,080 There are things that God does that does require the gifts of 773 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,440 the Spirit and that's why he has them there. 774 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,640 OK. And those gifts of the Spirit 775 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:27,520 are things that God will do on occasions that are faith of 776 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,400 man's not required and he's demonstrating something, but yet 777 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,040 it's necessary. Come on, the simple laying on of 778 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,960 hands will not get the results of this. 779 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:43,080 It will require the gifts of the Spirit with the gifts of 780 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,160 healing. In this case, potentially the 781 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,880 working of miracles. Most likely because if you've 782 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,080 been lame from your birth, then you know you have what's that 783 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,800 call when your muscles are all yes, right? 784 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,320 Obviously his bones probably have no real depth or density to 785 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,800 them either because he's never put any, you know, walked on him 786 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,600 or anything. And so those two are definitely 787 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,560 in play and could be a third one called the gift of Faith, which 788 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,640 means it's something at another level, right? 789 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:15,400 You know, and again, we have those that are with us in our 790 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,280 church that are are deaf. And again, just because they're 791 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:25,040 deaf, how why are they deaf? You know, some can lose their 792 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,400 hearing. That's one thing. 793 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:31,480 Some are born without parts of the year, and if parts are the 794 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,520 of the ear aren't there, then we have to be in a position to 795 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,400 earnestly desire spiritual gifts because it's going to require 796 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,720 one of those as he wills to make those happen. 797 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,520 This is why I'm kind of convinced that Jesus with the 798 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:50,680 one blind man spit in some dirt and put it on his eyes and said, 799 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:57,240 now go clean yourself because man was made out of the so I 800 00:50:57,240 --> 00:51:01,920 feel like he's like I'm putting on you what wasn't formed in you 801 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,040 in the womb. Now go wash it and it'll be 802 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:08,880 there and it was OK. So again, when we talk healing 803 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:13,640 all healings not in the same category, although God heals, he 804 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,760 is the healer and he sure isn't withholding. 805 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,040 So there are things that we have to hear. 806 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,800 OK Lord, you say earnestly desire spiritual gifts for 807 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,520 certain things that happen. So we need to do that. 808 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,520 You know what you should be praying that way you should be 809 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,440 able to Lord, we desire spiritual gifts. 810 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,760 Not so Apostle Earl or Pastor Angie would function in the 811 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,280 gift, but that we function in the gifts. 812 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:41,280 This has the Spirit moves on us because again, when the gifts 813 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,480 flow is God doing the work just through you. 814 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,640 In this case, this is a gift, but still he invokes the gift 815 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,160 with the name. So this man's been laying from 816 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,680 his mother's womb was being carried along whom they used set 817 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,440 down every day at the gate of the temple, which is called be 818 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,800 beautiful, in order to beg arms of those who are entering the 819 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:06,080 temple. Next verse when Peter, Saul and 820 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:11,280 John, When Peter, Saul and John about to go into the temple, he 821 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:15,480 began asking to receive when he saw them begging arms. 822 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:20,480 But Peter along with John fixed his gaze on him. 823 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:27,880 In essence, he started hearing something on the inside because 824 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:32,440 the Holy Ghost to talk to you and he said, look at us. 825 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,760 And he began to give attention to them expecting to receive 826 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,480 something. So again, did he have something 827 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,000 for him to put in a cup? Did he do some action with his 828 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:41,960 cloak? I don't know. 829 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,840 But Peter says this, I do not possess silver and gold. 830 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,840 That doesn't mean the man was broke, had no money. 831 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,160 It means I'm not carrying today like many. 832 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,760 You don't carry cash anymore yourself. 833 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:56,080 OK, but what I do have now, why does he have this? 834 00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,720 Because all authorities been given to Jesus, then how has 835 00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:03,040 given it to us? He said. 836 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,080 But what I do have, because if you don't know you have it and 837 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,560 you're not going to function from that concept of having 838 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,280 authority, then you can't give it. 839 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,560 You cannot give away what you do not know you have. 840 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,160 And if you want the traditions of man to only think all you 841 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:23,760 have is heaven when you die, then you're not going to 842 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,920 function in authority. But when you know you've been 843 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:33,200 given it, he said. But what I do have, I give to 844 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:37,880 you in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene. 845 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,080 What's he say? Walk. 846 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,520 And he sees now he doesn't wait on a response. 847 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,360 He sees them by his right hand. That word means he snatches him. 848 00:53:51,720 --> 00:54:00,280 He's like that's, that's how convinced Peter is of what he 849 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,560 just heard from heaven. He knows Jesus is not a liar. 850 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,600 I've seen him do this way too many times. 851 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,960 And now he just said, do it in my name, son. 852 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,120 He said the works that I do, greater works will you do 853 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:14,520 because I'm giving you my authority. 854 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,360 He snatched him up and it says and immediately his feet and his 855 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,960 ankles were strengthened. Now I will not say that he 856 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,360 snatched him up and Pastor Mike's legs popped out. 857 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:29,720 I'm not saying that probably mine. 858 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:37,840 However, he began to dance and went into the temple. 859 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,320 God has given us the power of attorney. 860 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,160 It's the name of Jesus. All is his, all authority is 861 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,480 his. And he says, now go in my name. 862 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:55,240 And if you'll say what I say in my name, I'm doing it.
