Welcome. Good evening everyone and welcome to night's officer on the house. I've got my co-host right next to me on the right hand side, is Referencooper. He will be talking, leading us through the Bible study in a minute. Before we started, we heard a sparkly little track called He Lives in You. And that reminds us of the song isn't just the lyrics, it's the truth, strength from Scripture. From Romans 8 verse 11, it tells us it's the spirits of him who rises who rise Jesus from the dead, he lives in you. He who rise Christ, he will also give life to your to your mortal body because of his spirit who lives in you. That means the power that risen for Jesus is working inside you right now, giving you strength when you're weary, peace your mind feels heavy and coverage when life feels uncertain. You are not alone. The living God is within you. I'd like to say a short prayer of tonight. Help us let this month and this week go through and let us please help everyone. So we're in the doubt of fear and wait. Just remind us you're carrying reflection life within us. The living God is not fear away, he's right there, breathing strength and peace and the power in your heart. And please help us go through everything that we do, the motion of the voice of the Spirit. Give us strength, give us power. Please do not give us any weakness in doubt of any fear. In Jesus' name, Amen.
SPEAKER_02Amen. Thank you, Alex. Thank you. Wherever you are this evening, thank you so much for joining us across the world. May the glory and may the power of the Holy Spirit be with you wherever you are tonight. You know, we're gonna go straight into the Word of God.
We're in the book of Deuteronomy. We're gonna get straight in the book of Deuteronomy right now, and we pray that the presence of God, whether you're on radio, whether you're on this live stream, you know, through the camera, maybe you're in the world of podcasts, you know. We thank you to everyone that's uh downloading there's such an acceleration in the world of podcasts. But may God bless you and carry you however you are capturing this service at the moment in time. I want to encourage you right now, and there's just a couple of words that I just want to bring to the table, and it's very, very simple tonight, coming from the book of Deuteronomy chapter 31. Deuteronomy chapter 31, and it is from verse 8. I want to pick this up. You know, the Lord Himself goes before you and He will be with you. I just want to encourage you at this moment in time, whatever you are going through, whatever you are feeling, however low you are at this moment in time, you know, whatever is happening in your emotional life, God is with you. And I want to tell you at this moment in time, the power of God is with you. And I just pray that the love of the Holy Spirit will carry you this evening and you will feel his presence and his mercy and his favor over your life. You are not alone. It's critical to understand you're not alone. You are going through a tremendous valley at this moment in time, you're going through a terrific amount of pain at this time. But I want to read this scripture because this scripture is for every one of us tonight that is feeling lonely, that is feeling fearful, that is feeling doubtful. God is not going to leave you, and God is not going to leave you in despair. You know, God is about to do a massive breakthrough in your life. But as you look at these scriptures, grab yourself a Bible, get yourself a word of God. It's really important that you can just get yourself a Bible, get yourself into the scripture wherever you are. There's nothing like being in the holy word of God. And we are in Deuteronomy chapter 31, and I'm going to pick it up in verse 38. This is what it says. Sorry, verse 8, Deuteronomy 31. We're in Deuteronomy 31, and we're in verse 8. We want to wait for you right now as you're just jumping online. We see people are jumping on wherever you are, scattered across the world. We ask God that God will carry you wherever you are right now. God sees your tears, God hears your heart cry. God's here, here with you right now. God's in here with us, God's with you, wherever you are at this moment on the earth. And we pray that the love of Jesus Christ will be so strong over your life that you will not feel the pressure of life. You know, we're everyone's under pressure, everyone has got too many plates spinning in our lives. And I just want to encourage you right now, never, ever, ever allow the enemy to tell you it's not gonna happen. You know, you are called, you are saved, and the spirit of the Lord is over your life. But these scriptures that we're in this evening are very, very comforting scriptures, they'll just bring peace. And I just want to take our time. You know, there is a lot of things happening around the world. You've got Israel happening all on today, you've got everything happening uh in
other parts of the world, you've got so many things happening, you know, the temperature, the Lord Jesus Christ, he's coming back. The spiritual temperature is extremely high. It is at the highest level we've ever felt it before. You know, depression and fear and worry and doubt, all that sort of stuff that's going on. But I've got to tell you right now to be encouraged, to get yourself a Bible, get yourself in the Word of God. If you need the Word of God, if you need a Bible wherever you are at this moment in time across the world, we will get you a Bible. All you gotta do is just send us in a message, hit us up in a studio, you know, send us an email, and we will get you a Bible wherever you are. But may the Spirit of the living God carry you. You know, God has great plans for your lives, God has a great plan for you. You know, it's not meant to be how you see it. As you see it, there is so much more for God. There is so much more for God to do in your life, and he's about to do things. You know, historical things are gonna finish very, very soon. Historical things are gonna be laid down at the cross of Calvary. God is gonna give you the freedom that you've been desiring and you've been crying for for many years. God is opening doors of opportunities. God is gonna show you his love and his mercy. God is never gonna leave you nor forsake you. So without further ado, let's just jump straight back into the scriptures and we welcome so many people online right now. But I want to encourage you right now. This is in verse 8 of Deuteronomy 31. The Lord Himself goes before you. Uh, he will be with you. Turn over the page. Come on, he will be with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid or be discouraged. I've got to pray and I want to pray right now. We're gonna enter into a time of prayer just for a moment. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for the scripture tonight. We thank you that the scripture is yes and amen. And Father, we pray that we will not be afraid, that we will not be discouraged by what we see or what we feel around our lives. Father, if anyone is unwell tonight, Lord, we believe in miracles. We believe in the fire and the power of God. We believe that there is strength tonight. We believe there is healing tonight. We believe that there are miracles in people's bodies. Lord, cancer is going, fear is going, doubt is going. Father, we pray that the Holy Spirit will bring comfort to those, Lord, that their thought pattern, Lord, is a bit off tonight, that they are feeling a bit under the weather. However, people are feeling, we just ask you, Father, that there will be such an outpouring of your spirit over their lives that they will know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. But just as Joshua and Moses, you know, they had trials in their lives, David had trials in their lives, and I want to give you this message tonight. I want to give you this message that God is about to break out in your life like never before. God is not asleep, God hasn't left you, God is with you, he's strengthening you through the fire. As you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you're gonna fear no evil because he's strengthening you, he's with you in your life, the spirit of the living God is over your life right now. We want to take our time in these scriptures tonight because life is so fast, and you know I speak so fast sometimes, I can get lost in the noise of everything. So I'm just trying to take my time at this hour, and I've got to read this again. The Lord Himself goes before you in every area of your life, whatever you have gone through, whatever you are going through, whatever you have gone through in your life, whether that was before church, after church, you know, in between church, before you were saved, after you were saved, every area of your life, I gotta tell you that God had gone before, even when we didn't know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. God
knew every footstep, God knew every path, God knew every word, he knew every syllable, he sees every text, he sees every email, he sees it before it's actually displayed. I gotta tell you that God has always gone before you. God is protecting you, and there are angels according to Psalm 91. We're very familiar with what I'm speaking about tonight. Psalms 91. I've got to let you know that there are legions of angels waiting to be deployed over your life. You have been you have been protected more times than you can count. God has set you free more times than you can count. God has made a way where there has been no way. God has opened doors where man has been trying to close doors. You've got people trying to pull you back to your history, and God is telling you your history is about to go. What you got to do is you just gotta hang on. The last part of the race is the hardest part to do. You know, the last part, what you're going through, what you're experiencing, there are people in your life. There are your families, your brothers, your sisters, your friends, your children, your work colleagues, your church, uh pastors, leaders, husbands, wives, whoever's in your circle. And you might not even have anybody in your circle, but you know what? It's great to not have anybody in your circle. To have no friends is a better thing. Because when you've got no friends, you have to rely on the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. You can't rely on social media, you can't rely on your WhatsApp group, you can't rely on the toddler group down the road, you can't rely on any group. All you can do is put everything you got into Jesus Christ. The Bible says, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and everything else shall be added unto thee. But you might be going through the valley right now, you might be crying right now, you might be in complete pain with life. You know, maybe there's been a wrong turn. There's been a wrong turn in life, and it's led you down a rabbit hole. But God is getting you, God is with you in the rabbit hole of life, He is restoring you, He is bringing you back. You know, there is never anything in this world that God cannot bring us back from. I want to encourage you right now, your history is not shaping you. Your history has tried to hold you. Those words over your life, that job situation, that cultural situation, that relationship situation, that wrong move, all those situations. The Bible says, you know, all things work together for good for those that love God. Every situation, the bad choices turn around for good. You know, the bad word turns around for good. The argument, the but the falling out, everything turns around. I got to remind you right now that you are a born-again, spirit-filled believer, and the fire of God is in your life. And I love the fact that we ain't got to go to church. We haven't got to go to church, we haven't got to be under any leadership, we haven't got to be in a denomination. All we got to make sure is that we're in the kingdom of God. And whatever it takes, I actually believe there are many people in this position right now as we are speaking across the airways, across the world, as we got uncountable people joining us across the world tonight. You know, I'm just drawn to that fantastic text. But I just want to read this out one more time before we go any further. For those who are jumping on, we're in Deuteronomy chapter 31, and we're in verse verse 8, and this is what it says the Lord Himself goes before you. He will
be with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged. I want to tell you, do not be discouraged by what
you see. Do not be discouraged by what is happening on the political agenda on the subject of Israel. You know, try not to take any notice of what we are seeing on the news
about Israel. You know, we've got to be very careful of the propaganda, we've got to be very careful of uh the man with the haircut who comes from America, what he's been saying today. We've got to be extremely careful of everyone that calls themselves a politician. We cannot allow ourselves to be absorbed in what the politicians, the presidents, the vice presidents, you know, the kings and the queens of this world are saying. We've got to make sure that we know what Jesus Christ is saying. We've got to make sure that we're in the Word of God. And there might be trials in your life, there might be historical events that are really clouding out what your future looks like. Do not hold yourself in your yesterday. Yesterday was now to the cross of Calvary, and today is the day of new beginnings. There's the new beginnings for you in every area of your life. I want to encourage you to be a Jesus Christ follower. Get in the Word of God and saturate yourself with the power of the Holy Spirit. How do you do that, Rev? The simple way that we do that is that we get in the Word of God. It's no good getting into church, it's no good getting into the ministerial drum, it's no good getting into religion, it's no good going and find yourself in the largest church where all the people are. That is irrelevant. What we need is the power of God in our lives. And guess what? God is working in your life right now. If you are at the hardest point of your life, if you are really struggling with so many things, there is about to be an enormous breakout and a breakthrough in your life. You know, God is about to do mighty things. If you feel that you're on the end, edge, edge of the walkway, if you feel that you're on a tight rope of life, if you feel that everything's crashing down, if you feel that you've got mental health issues that are rising, if you feel depressed and fearful and worried about the future, about now, about yesterday, today, and tomorrow, let me tell you this. God is about to do a marvelous miracle in your life, but he's requiring one thing from us. And what is that, Rev? He's asking us, trust me. God is telling us tonight, just trust me with your life. Trust me with every area of your life. The world has let you down, your family's let you down, your brothers have let you down, your sisters, your mum, your dad, your husband, your wife, your children. The workplace has let you down. You've been set down, you've been chucked under the bus. That's the quickest way to put it. You ain't got no one around you to help you. But let me tell you this: God is saying, trust me. Trust the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Allow the word of God to be absorbed in your spirit. The Bible says, Your word is a lamp unto my feet, a light for my path. And I believe the reference for that is Psalm 119, 105. Your word is a lamp unto my feet, a light for my path. You might be at the weakest point of your life. You might be exhausted. You might be feeling unwell tonight. You might be feeling down under the weather. You might have had a real tough day, a tough few days. Maybe your head isn't working properly. Maybe there's brain fog. Maybe the cogs in the mind are not working properly. I've got to tell you this: get to the king's garment. If there's anything you can do in your life, get to the king's garment. Whatever you do, if it takes you to run to it, if it takes you to get on your hands and knees to crawl to it, whatever you gotta do, get to the garment of the king. What do you mean in that great New Testament story, you know, where the lady with the issue of blood, she had to get to the garment of the king. Whatever you do, you've got to get to the king's garment. Whatever you've got to do in your life, you've got to get to the king. There's no other way. You're not gonna get your healing, you're not gonna get your mental health sorted out. The ADHD, nothing is gonna get sorted out until you get into the presence of God. He is the great I am. You've got to get on your knees, you've got to crawl, you gotta get through the crowd, you've got to make a way where there is no way. You spent every bean that you've got in your life. The lady ran out of money. She ran out of everything. She was pushed out. You know, your family have pushed you out, your friends have pushed you out, situations have pushed you out. They pushed her out because of the issue that she was carrying. You know, she was pushed out
by family. Family didn't want to know her. Let me tell you this: if your family don't want to know you, there's something about gonna break out, which is good. If the workplace has pushed you out, something is about to break out. You know, if you are being pushed out, if you feel alone, like the lady with the issue of blood that has been ostracized and cast out and no one comes around you, God is saying, When you touch the hem of my garment, there's nothing more powerful than touching the garment of the king. When you get in the king's presence, demons have to flee. When you get in the presence of the word of God, sickness has to bow. When you get into the word of God, ADHD has to reverse, cancer has to reverse, fear has to reverse. When you get into the power of the word of God, it don't matter about going into church. Church is irrelevant. The church in the UK is over, finished, broken, and busted. What we need to get is into the kingdom of God. There is power in the word of God, and that word is for everyone. You ain't got to go to church to read the word. You can be sitting on your bed tonight, you can be sitting in your van. You can be sitting on a bench looking out across the sea, wherever you are at the name of Jesus. You can be in a war zone and read the word of God. Maybe you are in the UK and you are in a war zone and you have been in a conflict and a war zone the majority of your life. Watch out, Goliath is about to fall. Jericho is about to crumble because the church can't do it, the pastors can't give it, the leadership can't do it. But my God, the God that we serve, the great I am, the father of Isaac, Jacob, and Abraham, the God above all gods, the king above all kings. Let me tell you this very, very clearly. You won't find salvation in any other religion across the world. You won't find healing in any other religion across the world. You will only find healing and salvation and the prosperity word through the living word of God. God has you in the palm of his hand and God is calling you. God is calling you. Let me tell you this. God is calling many right now. And what do you mean he's calling? His calling is first to salvation. He's calling you again. He's calling you again. He's calling you back to the first love. What do you mean to the word of God? He's calling you back. You've gone full circle. You've gone all the way around the houses. You've tried this and you've tried that. You know Jesus is real. You know that he's a redeemer. You know that he is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And he's telling you, stop dabbling, stop messing around. God is calling you right to the word of God tonight. So however you get to the King's garment, whatever it takes to get to the King's garment, you've got to get through the family. You've got to get through the pastors. You've got to get through the leadership team. You've got to get through the crowd. There is a crowd trying to stop you getting to the king's garment. There is a crowd trying to stop you to get stopping you getting the blessings of the king. There are many people that are trying to divert you away from the king's garment. There are many people that are trying to hide the king from you. There are many people around your life that are taking you away via social media, WhatsApp, other groups, this socializing groups. There are many people trying to crowd out Jesus Christ. But if you are radical enough, if you are tenacious enough, if you are bold enough and you're like that lion, it don't matter if you get on your hands and knees and you're cruel to Jesus. It doesn't matter if you've got dirt under your fingernails. Whatever it takes, you gotta get to Jesus. Whatever it takes in your life, get yourself to Jesus. But let me remind you, there are many people in your life that are crowding out Jesus Christ. There are many people that are tried to get in the way of you and him. There have been many situations through your colour, through your culture, through your lack of, through the people in your life, through the social media crowd that are trying to stop you, get to Jesus. People in your life, your work colleagues, your children, your husband, your wife, situations, your past, your present. Oh God, you gotta tell yourself, I've got to get to Jesus. You gotta get to Jesus. There is no other way. He is a way maker. And just like we've read in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 31, you know, it says, do not be afraid and do not be discouraged. Do not be dismayed and do not allow the fear of the crowd and Pharaoh to stop you getting to Jesus. But there are people in your life, there are people in your history, there are people that have drawn up right now, there are thoughts in your head right now, there are past in your life right now that you are worried about, you're embarrassed about. What if it comes out of the cupboard? What if this is said about me? What if they tell me uh they tell others about this? What if the word gets out? What if this breaks out? What, what, what, what, what? Don't worry about the what. Worry about just getting yourself to Jesus Christ. The devil is a liar, and there are too many people in our lives crowding our way from Jesus Christ. You know, there is a crowd around Jesus, there is a crowd trying to stop you from getting to your miracle. There is a crowd around Jesus that is trying to stop you getting to the king's garment. There's nothing more powerful than touching the hem of the king's garment. And when she touched the hem of his garment, what did Jesus do? Did he keep walking? No, he stopped. See, when you touch Jesus in a special
way, when you touch the hem, when you get to the king, when you touch him with your heart, when you're touching with your innermost being, when you get there, when you've got tears in your eyes, you've got blood on your hands, you're tired and you're weary, when you touch the king's garment, when you get in the presence of the king, it doesn't matter how big the crowd is, it doesn't matter how big Goliath is, it doesn't matter who is around Jesus, it doesn't matter what your history is, it doesn't matter what your presence is, it doesn't matter what is going on in your life, but when you are tenacious enough, when you are radical, when you are braggadocious enough, and when you are willing to get on your hands and throw yourself at the king's garment, when you are ready just to say, I've had enough of this world, I've had enough of the pharmaceuticals, I've had enough of the lies, I've had enough of the family, I've had enough of pastor, I've had enough of this church, I've had enough of that church. I'm tired because I'm just the same and I've spent everything that I've had, and I've been unwell for too many years. I've been pushed on the back burner for too many years. People have been threatening me for too many years. People have been holding me back for too many years. Situations have got in the way for too many years. I've been living in my life in too much fear for too many years. I'm worried about the history, what people are gonna say. I've been living in this and I've been hiding in anxieties and worries and fears, and I'm not sure who I am, but now is a time to break out and to get to the king's garment. And God is calling you right now, and don't worry about what you see in front of you because what's really interesting, the lady knew that Jesus was in town. Let me tell you now, Jesus is in town tonight. Jesus is in your life tonight. But when you look out across the platform of life, when you look across the platform of life, you see people crowding. All you see is the crowd, all you see is the worry, all you see is the fear. But right in the midst of that, Jesus is there. Are you willing to hit the crowd? Are you willing to get under the crowd? Are you willing to say I've spent everything that I've got? I've got nothing to lose, I've got everything to gain, I've got to get to the king's garment. Because when I get to the king, all is well. When I get to the king, it doesn't matter who is around the king, he's gonna stop for me. Let me tell you, when that lady with the issue of blood, when she was tenacious enough and she was radical enough, when she hit that point, sometimes we've got to hit a point of no return. Sometimes we've got to hit a point where we think we ain't gonna make it. Sometimes we've got to hit a point when we got no money, we got no friends, we're ostracized, we're on our own. The world has pushed us out on the hillside. People have said you'll never make it. Who do you think you are? Who are you? Do you realize who you are? All the name calling or this or that is about to stop because God is about to stop in his tracks, and there is something about to happen right now in your life. Are you ready to be healed? Are you ready to touch the king's garment? How do I touch the king's garment? This God that I serve, he's he's not approachable. I can't see him because the Bible says no one can see God and live. The Bible says that he sits outside of time and time itself. He sits in an approachable light. No one can see God and live. He is time himself. He is outside of light right now, he's bigger than whatever we can imagine. How do I get to this God that is untouchable with with natural abilities? How do I get to my God? How do I get into the presence of the king? How do I see this God? You know, Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. How do I get to the King? Someone tell me how I get to the garment of the King. How do I touch the edge of his garment? Let me tell you this: this is the garment of praise. This is the garment of warfare. This is the garment of healing. This is the garment that will protect you. This is the garment that will take you to the Father because Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. Because the Father made access through Jesus Christ. How did he make access through Jesus Christ? He displayed a very physical action when Christ Jesus died on the cross of Calvary. And the Bible says that the temple curtain was torn from top to bottom, and that was representing religion. That was representing those that said it's impossible. That was representing everything. See, I want to tell you now the temple curtain is torn open and there is access to the Father, and it is through Jesus Christ. Well, how do I even get to Jesus? I don't even know how I get to Jesus. I don't have the privilege that I don't have that physicality, I don't have the tangible presence, I don't have the physical realm. I'm not back in the days of the disciples. I can't touch him, I can't hold him, I can't look at him. But let me tell you this: he is the living word. How do I get to Jesus? I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Jesus says, I am the living word, but how do I get to Jesus when I read the word? When I get in the scripture, Jesus Christ is the word. I know you're tired of reading. I know you're exhausted, but it is the word of God that is your fuel. It is the word of God that will carry you because the word of God is power, is deity, the word of God is Holy Spirit fired. The word of God is your healer, the word of God is your redeemer. The word of God is El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Shalom. The word of God is everything that you require. To get to the king's garment, I open up the word of God. I haven't got to go back 2,300 years back to the future in that car, in that film anymore. I ain't gonna go back to the future. What I gotta do, I bring my God right up to my destiny because he's the God of yesterday, today, and forevermore. And there's a living word for you right now, wherever you are across the planet right now, whatever your life is reflecting, the more harduous it is, the more bleak it looks, the more dark it looks, the more painful it feels. Let me tell you, God is about to do something. God is about to do something. You're in the refiner's fire. God is drawing you, God is bringing you, He's gone before you. Just as God told Moses and Joshua through the book of Deuteronomy chapter 31, he says, I've gone before. God has gone in the fire before you got to the fire. God has gone through the river before you went through the river. God has gone through the sea before you went through the sea. God has gone through your tomorrow before you even wake up and get in your tomorrow. He's in your yesterday, he's in your today, and he's in your tomorrow. He's in the rest of your
life because he is your life. He is a way maker. He is the great I am, he is your healer, he is your redeemer, he is your rock of all ages, he is the king of kings. But I've got to tell you tonight, Jesus Christ is touchable. There is a tangible presence, and that is through the word of God. Get yourself a paperback version, get yourself a living word, open up the living word, get in Psalm 23, get in that right now and get pressed into the scripture because there is power, there is healing in the word of God. It's not me you need, it's not Eliam you need, it's not any denomination you need, it's not the mega church you need, it's not the mega preachers you need, it is not anybody else online, it is Jesus Christ. He says, I am the way. There is no one higher than Jesus. Don't go lifting up Mary, don't keep rubbing those rosary beads, don't keep looking at the stars in the back of the new newspaper, don't keep getting your palms read. Don't keep looking at the tarot cards, don't do this, don't do that. If you want to know who and who has your future, you go to Jesus Christ because he says, I have a plan for your life. Jeremiah 29, you know that plan, he says, There's a plan for you. There's a plan for you, but there's one thing I require, Ben. We all quote it, we all love the scripture, but the second end and the second part of that scripture is clear. He says, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to give you a hope and a future, plans to prosper you, not to harm you in any way. Thank you, Jesus. I'll add that one. But he says, Ben, there's only one criteria that I ask you to do. What's that, God? I'll do it. He says, Follow me with all your heart. See, I've got to follow Jesus, because when you follow Jesus, the words come alive. When you follow Jesus, he has to do what the psalmist writes in Psalm 91, round about verse 11, somewhere around about there. He has to deploy angels concerning your life. But if I don't speak the words, the angels ain't gonna move. If I don't speak the word, the angels ain't gonna be put to flight. If I don't quote the word, the angels are not gonna move, because the only way the angels move is when I speak the word of God. When I speak the word to my life, practically, spiritually, when I pray through Scripture, Lord, you are my shepherd. And right now, Lord, as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff. Father, I thank you that your love will never fail me. Lord, I thank you that all things work together for good for those that have been called according to your purpose. See, when I pray and when I speak the word of God, I might sound crazy to those church people, I might sound crazy to my family, I might Sound crazy to my work, colleagues. I might sound crazy to the world, but I don't care and I ain't bothered. Face bothered. No, there is power in the name of Jesus Christ. Because what I want is destiny. What I want is peace. What I want is the power of the Holy Spirit. What I want is the glory of God. What I want is the glory and the power. And if you are willing, if you are braggadocious enough to get on your hands and knees and you run and you get to the king's garment, because there is healing at the king's garment. There is healing in the word. It's the king's garment that will get you healed. And the crowd was around Jesus, and everyone was crowding Jesus. And no one could see this little woman. No one could see this little born-again spirit-filled believer that was growing up as a tender shoot. No one knew who this person was. They just ostracized her. They put her out the way. No one cared about her. No one cared about you. No one's bothered about you. They're just crowding your king. They're just trying to stop you from getting your miracle. Situations, life, history, people, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, work, ministry, life, school, education, there are many things in your life that are trying to stop you from getting to Jesus. There are many people are trying to crowd Jesus out. But when you're tenacious enough, when you're radical enough, when you've had enough and you're tired and you're exhausted, that is the time. Put everything you got to get in the word of God. Because when you touch the hem, when you touch the garment of the king, something has to happen. When you touch the king with your heart, when you touch the king through the word of God, when you speak the word of God, sickness has to go, fear has to go, loneliness has to go, depression has to bow, cancer has to move, situations have to change when you speak the word of God over your life, but it is only when the word of God is spoken. You know, sometimes we're not speaking the word enough. Sometimes we're speaking the rubbish of what the world is speaking. Sometimes we're talking all that trash that the world is speaking. Sometimes we're not even understanding what we're actually speaking because words are powerful. When I speak negativity, it affects me. When I speak downcast words, it affects me. But when I speak the living word, out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. When I speak the word of God, something's got to break. When I speak the word of God, God's got to ruffle his ear and go, hang on a minute. He's down there speaking the word. She's down there speaking the word. It doesn't matter how many people are at church on Sunday. He's not worried how many people are in the church. He wants to know how many people are in the word of God. He's not worried how many people are dancing and shouting, hallelujah, Jesus. He wants to know how many people are believing in the scripture of the holy word of God. He's not worried how many messages are preached. He's not worried how many songs are sung. What he's looking for is someone that is willing to get on their hands and knees and to break the chain of adversity, willing
to get to touch the king. You've got to touch the king in a way that is not normal. You've got to touch the king in a way that is not religious. You've got to touch the king not in the way of church, but you've got to touch the king from the innermost being. See, when you touch the king from inside, God has to stop. When you touch the king, when you get to the king, it doesn't matter how much of a crowd is around Jesus. It doesn't matter who is trying to stop your calling. It doesn't matter who is trying to stop your healing. It doesn't matter who is trying to stop your moving in the presence of the Almighty God. When you touch God, when you touch the King's garment, when you get in the Word and suddenly you start working through the Word, suddenly you start praying and you believe. Suddenly you start realizing that Glife is about to fall. Suddenly, when you start to realize that Jericho is about to collapse. Suddenly, when you start to realize, I see the Red Sea, it's starting to part in the name of Jesus. When you start speaking over the water, when you start speaking over the wheelchair, over the sickness, over the disease, when you start speaking the word of God, God has to move when the word of God is quoted. It has to move. Heaven has to react when the word of God is spoken. The Bible says that God says his word cannot return void. It cannot return empty. It has to be fulfilling to everything. The word of God, when they put the word of God to flight, it will return back to you. It will come back as a healing process. It will come back to you as a glory. It will come back to you in abundance. The Bible says, cast your bread upon the water and watch its return. Cast everything you got. Cast your cares and your burdens onto him because he cares for you. If you are willing enough, if you are braggadocious enough, if you just want to step out of the crowd, if you want to walk in fullness, if you want to walk in holiness, if you want to walk in power and glory, if you want to walk in favor, if you want to walk in the word of God, God is saying, Come to me now, sister. Come on, brother. He says, I'm waiting for you. Don't worry about the crowd around me. Don't worry about the preachers around me. Don't worry about the holy ones around me. Don't worry about the Pharisees. Don't worry about the dogs. Don't worry about the plastic people around me. Don't worry about the crowd that is around me. Because I know you're about to touch my garment. God knows that you have reached a point in your life when you realize the crowd is not going to stop you. Sometimes we got to hit a place in our life that is so low, that is so dark, that is so grim, that there is only one place to go, and that is to get up and get to Jesus. God is calling you right now to touch the garment. Oh, Ben, tell me how to touch the garment, because I can't see the king. I don't know where he is. All I know that the scripture says he's seated in the right hand of the Father, interceding for all the saints. Hang on a moment. He's seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for all the saints. God is interceding for you. What do you mean God is? Well, God is God. God is Christ. Christ is God. The Holy Spirit is interwoven to in that the triune Godhead in everything that is said and done. So the Father is sitting in the throne. The Father is in the throne room. Christ is the Son is sitting next. The Bible says Christ is the image of the invisible God. You can't get anything greater than Jesus Christ as being the intercessor. Don't worry about the prayer group tonight. Don't worry about the WhatsApp group. Don't worry about anybody else in your life. You just send the word up to glory tonight. Tell the God that you serve. Father, I've had enough tonight and right now in the name of Jesus. Your Bible tells me, your word tells me that you are my shepherd. You've got to show up, Lord, because this pasture that I'm grazing on is a bit barren. This pasture that I'm on tonight is a bit brown. Lord, I need some greenery. Lord, I need some pastures new. Spirit of the living God, you tell me, Lord, when I'm in trouble, you're going to deploy angels. So, Father, I speak the word right now. I thank you at the name of Jesus. You've deployed angels concerning me over my life. And Lord, they're going to carry me. Lord, not only are they going to carry me, they're going to drop me off in the next destination because all I've got to do is speak the word of God. All I got to do is believe the word. All I've got to do is stand on the word. All I've got to do is let the word out of my mouth, because out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. Do you realize that there is the power in your life that money can't buy? Do you realize that you are fully loaded from your feet right to the crown of your head? Do you realize that there are blessings in your life that you never thought possible? Do you realize that the glyphs in your life are just like ants? Do not look at the enemy. Do not big them up. Do not allow yourself to be worried and fearful by what you see and what you know about him, her, them, and whoever they may be. Just remind yourself, my God is a great God. My God is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. My King is about to call his servants. God is calling you tonight because you're the servants of the Most High. Don't worry about those that walk with Lucifer. Don't worry about those that are serving Lucifer. Don't worry about them. Don't look at what they're doing. Just look at what God is calling you to do. And God is calling you tonight to get close to him. God is calling you, and his heartbeat is hungry for you. God wants you to walk in righteousness. God wants us to walk in the living word of God. If you want to see miracles, if you want to see the dead raised, if you want to hear that the deaf are hearing, if you want to see that the blind are seeing, if you want to know that the lame are walking. Now let me tell you this: God has to move through his word of God. And we're going to come to the table in just a few moments. But I've got to tell you tonight the word is about
to break out in your life. You know, you've got to reach a point where enough is enough. Don't look at the size of the people. Don't look at the size of Goliath. Look above those ants because that's all they are. The devil is a liar. Look to your God. Wherever you are tonight, just look up and pray this. Father, in the name of Jesus, I want to live a life that is radical for you. I don't want to live a life anymore under the narcissistic hands of family, friends, wives, husbands, brothers, sisters, ministers, church, world. Lord, I don't want to live under this government in the UK, Lord, that is hell-bent. Lord, I don't want to live under a government, Lord, that is taking my children away from Jesus. Lord, I want I want to live in the gospel of the word of God. I want to live in the kingdom of hope. Lord, I want to live in completeness. Lord, I want to live in peace. Lord, I'm tired for living all my life worried about what they're saying. Lord, I'm tired about living my life because of what he's saying, what she's saying. Lord, I'm worried Lord, I don't want to live my life by the social media account. Lord, I don't want to live my life by the foxes and the dogs at my gate. Lord, I don't want to live my life dear God by the lizards in my life, by the snakes in my life. Lord, I don't want to live my life by the narcissistic controllers. I want to live my life in freedom. Lord, I've had enough tonight and I've got to get to the king's garment. Is there anybody online? Is there anybody on radio? Is there anybody in the world of podcasts? Is there anybody across the world that is wild and crazy enough to say I've had enough tonight? I've got to get to the garment, the garment of the king. I've got to get to the king's garment because I'm not living this life anymore. I'm not going to live in this hole of an existence. I'm not going to be put down. I'm not going to be trod down. I'm not going to be uh kicked around like a football. I'm not going to be sworn out. I'm not going to be punched. I'm not going to be beaten by the world. I'm not going to allow the people around me to control me. I'm going to break out. I'm not going to touch the garment of the king. Is there anyone wild enough, crazy enough? Is there anyone to shout out tonight? I'm a child of the living God and I believe in Jesus. And I love him and I love the God that he is. I love the Holy Spirit. I love the deity. I believe God is going to raise the dead. I believe that Jesus Christ is the coming King. I believe that He saved me. I believe that it is by grace I've been saved. I believe God is the God above all gods. I believe God is about to break out. God is about to do something powerful in your life. But are you radical enough? Are you brave enough to run like you've never run before? Are you brave enough to find the energy and to keep walking? Are you brave enough, wild enough? Because I've got to get to a place of weakness. So I've got to crawl to the garment of the king. Sometimes I've got to get on the floor to get the breakthrough. Because the church is jumping up and down on the church pogo stick making a noise. But it's on the floor. Well, I've got to crawl to the king. I've got to crawl to the cross. I've got to crawl to the to the king's garment. Because there's a crowd around him. And they're called the megachurch. There's a crowd round him called the family. There's a crowd round him called business. There's a crowd round him called fake pastors. There's a crowd round him called social media. There's a crowd round him, and I can't get to him. There's a crowd round him. And I just need Jesus. Is there anybody out there that just needs Jesus? Because when you reach a point in your life when you just need Jesus, there's about something to break out in your life. When all you reached and all you got and you spent everything and you look in the bank and you think, oh my God, I can't feed the kids, I can't put fuel in the car. I ain't got no shoes. Lord, what am I gonna do? Christmas is coming, I ain't got a bean. Lord, I ain't got no work coming in the door. Lord, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Lord, when you get to that sort of point, when you get to the lowest of the lowest and beyond the lowest, and then suddenly you feel tired and you feel weary, you feel a bit downtrodden, you feel that everybody in your life is trying to get to you. You feel like every situation is about trying to tear you open. It feels like there are a load of wild animals around you trying to pull you to the left, to the right. One wants your arm, one wants your leg, one wants you to one wants to do it. Oh my goodness. When you get to that sort of place, God is about to break out. But let me tell you this: it is only Jesus Christ. We're running out of time. We're drastically running out of time. The clock is ticking, and we're gonna come to the table. Well, are you wild? Are you crazy? Are you enough to follow Jesus? You've got to shout out. Let me tell you, don't need money to follow Jesus. You don't even need a church to follow Jesus. You don't need anything to follow Jesus. All you need is to go, yeah, I'm coming, Lord. I'm tired of the family, I'm tired of work, I'm tired of the children, I'm tired of him and her, I'm tired of this and that. Oh Lord, I'm coming. I'm
Lord, I'm gonna get to Jesus. Is there anybody there that was willing to break out of the mould, to break out of the system, to break away from the from the prison of life? You know, we might not be behind bars, but you know what? We make prisons within ourselves. Culture gives us a prison. Money gives us a prison. Family gives us a prison. Work, home life, church life, everything. We find that we put a prison around us, and suddenly we find that we lose the key, and so many people are in prison without being behind the bars. They can't see any bars, but actually they they can't, and they haven't got the strength to walk any further forward because they're trapped, they're trapped. Is there anybody that will shout out, I need the king? Because when I get to the king, all things are possible to those who believe. How many people are laying in the mortuary tonight that the bag's been zipped up today, the tag has been put on the toe, they're in the freezer right now, and they haven't lived to the full potential. I believe that they are I'm a I'm sad to say this. I believe there are many Christians, full Bible-believing believers, that are not living the full potential of what they should do right now, because we're worried about people, we're worried about history, we're worried about the system. Do not go to the mortuary with things not done. Don't go to the slab, don't go to the mortuary and be zipped up in a bag, put in the freezer with a tag on your toe that might say this. Never completed what God had. What a thought that is. Never completed what God had for them. Imagine having that on your toe. How many people have gone to the morgue today, not living in the full strength, not living in the full destiny that God has. Because, because, because, father, right now I ask you, Father, in the name of Jesus, Father, I pray right now, as the weather is changing, as darkness is approaching, as the season is changing spiritually and uh outside the on the four walls of the building. Father, I pray as the seasons change, as life changes, I pray as we break bread together right now, that as we break this bread, we will realize that this is the body of Christ. And I gotta encourage you, you're at home, sitting on the sofa, you're at work. Whatever you do, don't take the attitude of I can't be bothered to get up and get some bread. Don't take the attitude of that, you know. Force yourself to get off the sofa, get out of the van, go in a sweet shop, go in a garage and get yourself a bit of bread or a cracker, whatever it is, a biscuit. You know, get yourself a fruit shoot, get yourself something wherever you are and break bread. Even if you are breaking bread on your own, it does not matter. But what it is is when you do it, there is something powerful when you break bread and you take it a cup. Father, bless this bread, because I recognise that this bread symbolizes the body of Christ. And I recognise, dear God, that I'm a sinner saved by grace. And it is by grace we have been saved. So Lord, I thank you for this bread tonight. Bless us from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet. In Jesus' name. Amen. Will you take out a cup with us tonight? Grape juice, wine juice, whatever, whatever it may be. If you've got nothing that represents red, get some water because all it is is a symbol. It's symbolic. But you know what? You've got to break bread, you've got to take out a cup wherever you are. There is power in the name of Jesus. So, Father, I thank you that I'm a sinner saved by grace. Lord, I thank you for salvation. I thank you that we are saved, that we are born-again Christians. So tonight, Lord, cleanse us from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet. I thank you, Lord, that it's not by work so that no one can boast. It's not by work so that no one can boast. But it is by grace you have been saved. Cleanse us from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet. In Jesus' name. Amen. We're out of here in a few minutes. We're about to get out of here. But I want to let you know tonight, as the scripture that we started in
just a moment ago, do not live your life by fear, do not be dismayed, do not let the giants of history control your destiny. Do not allow the giants of history, do not allow those Jerichos, do not allow the Red Seas, do not allow the River Jordans to stop you. Do not allow anyone to stop you getting to Jesus Christ. If you've got people in your life that are not talking about Jesus, what are we doing with those people? If you've got people in your life that are praying for you, hold on to them. You need to be surrounded by people that talk the language of Christ. Don't hang around with devil worshipers. If you want depression to go, if you want fear to go, if you want doubt to go, you don't hang around the graveyard with Lucifer. You don't hang around dead people. There are too many fake dead people that are still walking on this earth. They are dead because they do not know Jesus Christ. Do not look at the foxes and eat with the foxes. Do not go and live your life with pigs. Do not stay in the pig pen of life. God is calling you to the Father's house. God is calling you. You're better off to be on your own as the human being, but be surrounded by the love of God. You're better off to be on your own and in the word of God than be surrounded by fake dogs, snakes, rats, and pigs. Be careful who's in your life. If people are taking you away from Jesus, if people are not talking about Jesus in your life, they are not worth the breath of your lungs. You have gotta get around people that are Bible, Bible believers, Bible believers. Too many people are living in mortuary bags, and you might as well go to the graveyard. Do not live a life with dead people. Break out, unzip the mortuary bag, take the tag off your toe, and live in the fire of God. Live in the word. Be an ambassador for Jesus. Give Bibles out. Tell people that Jesus Christ is coming back. The more you talk about Jesus, this is fact. This is biblical fact. The more you talk about Jesus Christ, the more you talk about God, the more you talk about the Holy Spirit. Let me tell you what happens. When you speak about the word of God, when you tell the world about Jesus, and I'm not talking about being a crackpot, I'm talking, you know exactly what I'm talking about. When you tell the world how I'm powerful, Jesus, how do I tell the world about Jesus? I live in the word. When you live in the word and you tell the world about Jesus Christ, he has to protect you, he has to look after you. He cannot do anything else. Because the Bible is clear. When you talk about the king, the king will react. When you hang around with Lucifer, nothing's gonna happen. If you want breakthrough, if you want to see mighty miracles, if you want to see miracles that are beyond human understanding, we gotta get in the word. God bless you wherever you are right now. There is power in the name of Jesus. We are out of here. Sorry that we've gone over, you know, we've gone over 11 minutes, but may the Spirit of the Lord be with you wherever you are tonight. The fire of God is in your life. And remember, get out of the crowd. Don't hang around with the foxes and the pigs and the lizards. Don't hang around with the snakes in life. Get into the word of God. You're better off to be on your own, but realize that angels are deployed. You're better off to be on your own and know that the Father, the Son, thank you for joining us on Reverend Ben Cooper's Podcast.
