Consecration Is the Gateway to Power ... English & Norwegian

What happens when God reshapes a life? Bishop Joel Holmes shares profound insights from nearly six decades of ministry on the spiritual transformation process that turns believers into vessels of divine purpose.

Drawing from Psalm 51:5, Bishop Holmes illustrates how we're all "shapen in iniquity" at birth, requiring divine intervention to become who God intends. Using the metaphor of wood being bent to create a concert grand piano, he explains how our resistance to change must give way to God's transformative work.

The heart of this message explores the critical connection between consecration and spiritual power. Against conventional wisdom suggesting that relaxing standards leads to church growth, Bishop Holmes reveals how his unwavering commitment to holiness—taught with love and brokenness—actually catalyzed extraordinary expansion in his ministry. "When you move off from consecration," he warns, "you lose the cutting anointing that breaks the yoke of sin."

Bishop Holmes shares four essential pillars for building God's kingdom: prioritizing prayer (including regular fasting), cultivating genuine love for people, engaging in consistent outreach, and developing Spirit-filled teaching. He culminates with a powerful insight from Numbers 12 about God speaking "mouth to mouth"—describing those transcendent moments when divine truth flows directly through us, bypassing our intellectual filters.

Whether you're facing resistance to change, struggling with worldly influences, or seeking greater spiritual power, this episode provides transformative truths that will reshape your understanding of holiness, consecration, and divine purpose. Listen now and discover how embracing the "foolishness" of the gospel unlocks its supernatural power.

Father Hallelujah. Thank you, father, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Well, praise the Lord everybody, and welcome to Apostolic Mentoring. I greet you in the mighty name of Jesus from Columbus Ohio. What a joy it is to be a part of this great kingdom mission.

Speaker 3 3:03

Equipping millions to reach billions. And we want to say thank you to everybody who's been covering the crusade in Angola in prayer and I thank everyone who has prayed for the Angola mission in prayer.

Speaker 1 3:20

Oh, my goodness, it was another incredible kingdom victory in Luanda, and it was a fantastic, wonderful victory in Luanda in the Kingdom of God.

Speaker 3 3:38

We went there to minister and train Trinitarian leaders in churches and it was so exciting on our second day of training, in Luanda God filled 120 Trinitarians with the Holy Ghost.

Speaker 1 4:03

We invited our waitress from the hotel restaurant to one of the training sessions and God filled Claudia with the Holy Ghost. Our translator, Brother Kiyama, was also filled with the Holy.

Speaker 3 4:23

Ghost.

Speaker 1 4:28

Then on Sunday we had a children's crusade. That was just amazing. We had over 1,100 children show up for the children's service. And God filled 150 kids with the gift of the Holy.

Speaker 3 4:52

Ghost.

Speaker 1 4:57

Then on Sunday we had another service with the Trinitarian constituency that we were working with, and another 44 were filled with the Holy Ghost. We had so many beautiful testimonies of miracles. Nine people who were deaf received their hearing. Fifteen people that were blind received their sight. There were over 40 people with different mobility issues that God miraculously healed them. Eight people that had tumors in their body. God literally made those tumors disappear and on Sunday afternoon we wound up going down to the South Atlantic Ocean and baptizing 28 Trinitarians in Jesus' name.

Speaker 3 6:09

And on Sunday evening we baptized 23 more Trinitarian leaders in Jesus' name.

Speaker 1 6:15

So many great, great victories, so many tremendous meetings with great leaders in the city of Luanda. We are looking forward to going back again next year and having even greater kingdom victories in that city and in that nation. Of course we are leaving this week for the nation of Panama. Of course we are leaving this week for the nation of Panama.

Speaker 3 7:01

And it's going to be one of the most kingdom-critical moments.

Speaker 1 7:03

dear friends, All of the Central American region leaders are coming in on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Speaker 3 7:24

We're going to have the opportunity to minister and train to the leaders of all of the works in the region and of course, that's going to open many more doors for Global Harvest Crusades in many more nations. So we ask you to just continue to pray for us.

Speaker 1 7:53

Pray for our finances, the Lord would give us the resources necessary to walk through every open door that he sets before us. I do want to say thank you to everybody who has given so sacrificially to help us with the Angola Crusade and the Panama Crusade. We could not do these great meetings without your backing, and you are such a kingdom-critical part of God's global harvest.

Speaker 3 8:44

Today. We are just so excited about our guest. We are incredibly blessed to have Bishop Joel Holmes with us today on Apostolic Mentoring.

Speaker 1 8:59

And of course it is no secret at all how much our family loves Bishop Holmes and his family and FPC. And there is no secret but we are extremely happy and we love this family. An FPC. These are some of the greatest kingdom voices in the world today. I know he doesn't like it when we do all this fluff.

Speaker 3 9:29

But I love Brother Holmes and I want to talk about it when we do all this fluff and I know that he doesn't like that he is talked about too much, but I love Brother Holmes and I want to talk about it. But I love this man and I want to say things about him.

Speaker 1 9:40

The First Pentecostal Church is just one of the greatest apostolic bodies in this world.

Speaker 3 9:48

And First Pentecostals in Little Rock is one of the most fantastic communities that exists and they stand for one of the reasons for great awakening and enhancement around the world.

Speaker 1 10:04

They carry the truth around the world. We thank God for their friendship, their love and their apostolic leadership. I do want to say I'm getting ready to put in the chat a link to two of my favorite books by Brother Holmes.

Speaker 3 10:31

And in the link, I would like to say that I will put in a link to two of my favorite books that he has written.

Speaker 1 10:39

One of them is the Six Steps of Prayer. One of my other favorite favorite favorite books is Mountain Peaks of Truth.

Speaker 3 10:52

And the other book is called excuse me, what's the name of the book? Mountain Peaks of?

Speaker 1 12:00

Truth Mountain Peaks of Truth, and I'll put a link to where you can get both of those books on.

Speaker 3 12:07

Amazon and I'll give you a link so you can get these two books.

Speaker 1 12:13

They're available on paperback and Kindle, but they are great great kingdom resources. Bishop Holmes, we love you. Sir, love Sister Holmes and FPC. We're thankful you're with us today. Please take your liberty and just do what you do.

Speaker 2 12:45

Well, Brother, Robinette, it's a great honor to be with you all today. I was thinking as I was listening to the report of your mission Robinette, it's a great honor to be with you today.

Speaker 3 13:08

When I heard the reports you came with initially. I just have to say that I feel the burden you have.

Speaker 2 13:14

I think we ought to begin with praying together and praying for Brother Robinette. I don't know of anybody more committed and making a greater sacrifice for the kingdom than the Robinette family, and I think about the pace that he goes at. Jesus' ministry was three and a half years and he took time to rest and get away from the multitude.

Speaker 3 14:02

And in comparison with Jesus' ministry, which was three and a half years, he took time to share between the slags.

Speaker 2 14:12

And I just pray for you, brother Robinette and other ministers. Sorry that I don't guess I know you personally, but I pray God would give you wisdom and help, that you take care of this natural man, that your years may be many with the kingdom of God. Let's pray for Brother Robinette and his family. Come on All, join with me.

Speaker 3 14:54

Come on, let's pray her family in Jesus' name. Will you all join with me?

Reshaping Our Lives for God's Purpose

Speaker 2 14:57

Come on, let's pray, god in Jesus' name. We thank you for the great work of God, the kingdom of God that has been built through the burden and zeal of Brother Robinette and his entire family. God, we pray for them today. We pray that you would give them strength and help and then give them those seasons of time of rest. We ask it in Jesus' name, for your glory and honor. In the name of the Lord, Amen, amen. Well, I've been burdened about something for a while, so I'm going to share with you what God has laid upon my heart, and it's the process of how God reshapes our lives and reshapes, of course, our thinking. Psalms 51 and 5 says Behold, I was shapen in iniquity and in sin. Did my mother conceive me?

Speaker 3 16:21

Was it Psalm 51.5?

Speaker 2 16:24

51.5, yes.

Speaker 3 16:27

Yeah. So, as we know, this is the battle of the flesh with the spirit.

Speaker 2 17:00

Since we were born and we were shaped wrong.

Speaker 3 17:03

We've got to be reshaped.

Speaker 2 17:06

And really it's a process of bending us into what wants us to be into what wants us to be. Many times I walk by. I have a concert grand piano in my home and I look at the wood and how it has been bent, shaping around that beautiful piece of that beautiful instrument. It's a lesson to me every day when I look at it and I think that wood that came from that tree did not grow like that.

Speaker 3 18:03

I think that the tree work that comes from a tree had to be shaped and transformed in so many ways before it could be used.

Speaker 2 18:14

It had to be bent to create this beautiful instrument.

Speaker 3 18:28

Help us God today.

Speaker 2 18:32

He's working on us.

Speaker 3 18:35

He's working on us and it's a process of bending and-olds with a very strong will.

Speaker 2 19:14

And if that child is productive in life, their will will have to be broken and reshapen. So God's working on us to reshape us and to mold us into His perfect will, that we can be everything that God wants us to be for His glory and honor. What a challenge Paul talked about, changed into his image into his image.

Speaker 3 20:14

Paulus talked about being transformed into his image 2 Corinthians 3, verse 3, 17-18,.

Speaker 2 20:24

For as much as you are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, Sir could you repeat the chapter and the verse. I'm sorry. 2 Corinthians 3 and the third verse and then go down to the 17th verse, 2 Corinthians 3 and 3.

Speaker 3 20:48

Yeah, thank you, sir, for it is obvious that your Christian letter has been delivered to us by our service, not written in black, but by the living Son of God, not on a stone tablet, but on the heart's self-tablet. Not written in black, but with the living Son of God, not in the tables of stone but in the fleshly tables of the heart.

Speaker 2 21:25

We know the Old Testament. It was written in stone, but now God's will is to write this Christ-like Spirit in our heart.

Speaker 3 21:37

We know that in the Old Testament it was written on stone, but in the New Testament.

Speaker 2 21:46

He wants to write it into our hearts. What a challenge today. Help us God, to allow the Spirit of God to write His will into our heart.

Speaker 3 22:01

And help us God to get the challenge there and let Him be able to write everything he wants into our hearts today.

Speaker 2 22:09

The 17th verse. Now, the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Speaker 3 22:18

Verse 17. Verse 18.

Speaker 2 22:29

Verse 19. Behold, as in a glass or in a mirror, the glory of the Lord.

Speaker 3 22:39

Men I vers 18,.

Speaker 2 22:40

Men vi som med utildekket ansikt ser Herrens herlighet som et speil are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as the Spirit of the Lord.

Speaker 3 22:58

Yes, we, we believe all the forwanderer to the summit, build it for a hell, yet to hell, yet. So man Herren song.

Speaker 2 23:06

And you the previous verses. It talks about Moses with the veil. His face was covered with a veil, but the Bible, ours is an open face.

Speaker 3 23:19

Yes, and in the preceding verses it talks about Moses, who was in front of the throne but who would see God face to face after a while, Beholding as a glass or as a mirror the glory of the Lord and what he is saying. Our spirit and countenance reveals God's glory.

Speaker 2 24:22

What a challenge today to be a light to the world that reveals the glory of God In Galatians 4 and 19,. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed. There's this great man of God to the Galatian church, praying and travailing that this process would take place, the bending, the reshaping, until Christ be formed in us. I think the best example of that is like wet concrete. It's got to have a form, a form and that is all of us in our walk with god. This we got to have the form until, uh, we get this established in our heart that we gotta got to do the will of God.

Speaker 3 25:58

We've got to be reshapen. We must understand that it is important that we must be reformed so that God's will may happen through us.

Transforming the Mind into Christ's Image

Speaker 2 26:08

Through trials and problems, we are broken. Through trials and problems, we are broken, and then we can be reshapen into the will of God and what God has for us to become.

Speaker 3 26:24

And through trials and battles and resistance we will be formed into what God wants us to be. Then, in Romans, the 12th chapter, and the first verse.

Speaker 2 26:34

Then we will be formed to what God wants us to be.

Speaker 3 26:37

Then in Romans, the 12th chapter and the first verse.

Speaker 2 26:43

And in Romans 12 and 1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. So we present ourselves as this living sacrifice, and it's got to be holy and it's got to be acceptable unto God. And he said this is just our reasonable service.

Speaker 3 27:28

And this must be your holy God's service, and we must be living and holy as a sacrifice to God's kingdom.

Speaker 2 27:43

And then the second verse is be not conformed to this world this world, and here's the challenge. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Speaker 3 28:25

Help us God today. Oh Lord, the pressure that is, on Pentecost today, to conform to the ways and the things of this world.

Speaker 2 28:46

There's got to be a spirit in us that we resist this world and all of its entertainment, pleasures and things of this world and allow God to transform us.

Speaker 3 29:05

Then he told us how Disse kreftene som skal ha det, ikke at vi skal bli lik verden, men at vi I stedet skal bli forvandlet til hans bilde.

Speaker 2 29:16

Then he told us how that we'll be transformed. He said it's by the renewing of our mind.

Speaker 3 29:25

Og så står det her, hvordan vi skal bli forvandlet ved at våre sin skal fornyes.

Speaker 2 29:32

So the challenge to us today is having the mind of Christ. Until we get the mind of Christ, we cannot prove what is good, acceptable and the perfect will of God. So we've got to resist, conform to this world, and then we've got to let God transform our mind in a different way of thinking than what we were when we were born. Let me share with you one of my favorite scriptures.

Speaker 3 30:32

Let me share with you one of my favorite scriptures, and it was God speaking to Solomon 1 Kings, 4 and 29.

Speaker 2 30:53

And the Bible said and God gave Solomon wisdom and knowledge exceeding much and the enlargeness of heart as the sand that's on the seashore.

Speaker 3 31:10

Og der står det. Gud ga Salmo visdom over måttestor insekts, en forstand som mangfoldig, som sand på havets brend.

Speaker 2 31:19

Oh Lord, help us today. The only way we're going to be able to grow and do the work and the will of God is to get a brand new mind.

Speaker 3 31:37

God is to get a brand new mind. And help us, god, for what really matters for us to be who you want us to be.

Speaker 2 31:46

It is to get a new mind, and it is a mind like the Christ mind I pray the prayer.

Speaker 3 32:07

God, if you did it for Solomon, have mercy on me and give me that wisdom and knowledge exceeding much, and that largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the seashore.

Speaker 2 32:23

This is what God wants to transform us in is a new way of thinking.

Speaker 3 32:39

A new way of thinking about the kingdom of God.

Speaker 2 32:45

A new way of looking at the world and the kingdom of this world. I can tell you, a great example of this has certainly been Brother Robinette. He has brought so much new thinking to the kingdom of God that many people can't even receive it.

Speaker 3 33:12

Lord, help us today.

Speaker 2 33:25

Give us wisdom and understanding and largeness of heart, because we're born with very little wisdom, very little understanding and hardly. Our heart is so small, our vision is so small and only God can do this for us. Amazing comparison that God gave tells us the way that he gave it to Solomon Wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and did not think about that. God said I gave him largeness of heart even as the sand that is on the seashore. I don't think anybody can comprehend. Of course nobody can comprehend God either. No wonder that he was able to build such an unbelievable temple that has never been matched, never, nowhere, nothing to compare to the temple of Solomon. And you see the direct connection between largeness of heart.

Speaker 3 35:25

Come on, let's pray together that God will do these three things for us right now, oh, God, help me, Lord, I need your help every day.

Speaker 2 35:33

Oh God, help me, Lord, I need your help every day. Oh Jesus, oh Lord, that you would give us wisdom and understanding and then, Lord, you take the limits off our heart, that we would have a large heart to do your work and your will With a lost and dying world that's dying without you. God, help us today to lift up our eyes and see the fields are white and ready to harvest. God, Lead us and anoint us. We pray in Jesus' name.

Speaker 3 36:12

Amen, Help us God.

Speaker 2 36:18

Help us.

Speaker 3 36:23

You know, many times people stumble over holiness?

Speaker 2 36:25

There are many times people struggle with this, with holiness, but I can tell you holiness, consecration is a direct connection to the power source that we need to do the work of God.

Speaker 3 36:39

But I say that holiness and consecration is the gateway to the power that God can give us and everything that God can give us som Gud kan I oss og alt det som Gud kan I oss.

Speaker 2 36:53

So it takes this transformation of the mind that you see the world for what it really is.

Speaker 3 37:03

Så det skal til, at vi virkelig blir forvandlet I våre sinne, I vårt tankesätt, så vi kan virkelig se, vad denne verden virkelig er.

Speaker 2 37:11

When you see through the world and see through Hollywood the sports world is their religion and their God and you see through all this then your mind is being transformed to do the will of God.

Speaker 3 37:33

Så vi kan se gjennom verdens riker is being transformed to do the will of God. So we can see through the world's riches and all their gods, sport and Hollywood and all kinds of things, and we can see that with God's eyes we will be blessed and we will see more of what God wants us to see.

Speaker 2 37:51

You know I'm soon be in November I'll be 76 years old. I started preaching when I was 16. My father had a paralyzing stroke that was pastored this church when I was 19.

Speaker 3 38:24

And the responsibility of the church fell on these feeble shoulders.

Speaker 2 38:30

I was not married. Fourteen months later, our church burned to the ground. We ended up in a cafe that had been shut down for many years, a very small building, and really Pentecost was in transition back in those days and it still is. I don't think it's ever gotten out of transition, it's just it's always trying to move and change and as a young pastor I was influenced by some ministers that were seemingly on the cutting and pastors who were in a special situation.

Speaker 3 40:01

I should say exploding growth. So there was something about exploding in terms of growth.

Speaker 2 40:06

And as a young pastor, of course I was caught up in that. So I was a part of that. I was caught up in that, but they weren't going to take the holiness message with them and then in a very short time they moved completely away from even the doctrine so. I thank God for the truth that had been put in my heart, but it was like wet.

Speaker 3 40:53

I thank God for the truth that had been put in my heart.

Speaker 2 40:56

But it was like wet concrete. It was still liquid. I needed that form of my father and my mother around me.

Speaker 3 41:22

As you know, everybody's got to get it for themselves.

Speaker 2 41:41

And I still remember the moment that I made that consecration to stand for holiness regardless of the size of the church. I was being told if you want to grow, you've got to move on.

Speaker 3 42:20

But what they have missed, and what Pentecost in many places are missing today, is they do not realize that consecration is connected to power. Men det, som de dengang og I dag Pinsebevegelsen ikke har forstått, det er at innvielse, det er porten til Guds kraft.

Speaker 2 42:30

When you move off from consecration, then you lose the cutting anointing that breaks the yoke of sin. You've got a powerless gospel.

Speaker 3 42:48

So when we go away from holiness and invitation, then the power that makes us really be where we are is falling.

Speaker 2 42:59

We lose everything. And I remember I made up my mind. I said it don't matter if we go to 50 or 500. I'm going to stay with this truth with this wonderful message that has been handed down to me of holiness and I'm going to share with you today the consecration that and the standards of holiness that we have embraced here at the First Pentecost Church.

Speaker 3 43:51

And today I'm going to share with you the invitation in relation to the Holy Doctrine here at the First Pentecostal Church.

Holiness as Connection to Power

Speaker 2 44:02

I want to say it very humbly, but I hear so much preaching. They say holiness, and they never identify what they're talking about.

Speaker 3 44:15

I'm going to be humble, but I hear many people talking about holiness, but they don't explain what it means.

Speaker 2 44:24

First of all, there's got to be holiness in spirit. There should be no agenda to try to hurt someone or outdo somebody. First and foremost, it must be a healing in the spirit.

Speaker 3 44:50

And it must not be an agenda where you have to aim and blackmail others, men det må være en agenda hvor vi har et fullstendigt rengjort hjerte.

Speaker 2 44:56

I'll share with you what my my father said many times.

Speaker 3 45:03

Jeg vil dele med dig vad min far sa mange ganger.

Speaker 2 45:06

He said I love everybody.

Speaker 3 45:09

Han sa jeg elsker alle.

Speaker 2 45:11

And everybody loves me.

Speaker 3 45:13

Og alle elsker mig.

Speaker 2 45:14

And it and everybody loves me.

Speaker 3 45:21

And it doesn't matter to me what they say about me. So give us holiness of heart, and then give us outward holiness when women do not cut their hair, where men get a haircut, where men shave.

Speaker 2 46:00

We teach a standard of sleeves below the elbows, dresses below the knees.

Speaker 3 46:26

High neck collars on men and ladies.

Speaker 2 46:35

We teach us a standard of separation from this world and the sports world.

Speaker 3 46:42

Og vi snakker også om, at man tar avstand fra verden, og ikke minst sportsverden.

Speaker 2 46:51

We don't go to the ball games, we don't listen to the ball games.

Speaker 3 46:55

We don't listen to the ball games.

Speaker 2 46:59

A separation from this world. And when we make this separation, let me say this I was told that if you did this, that you certainly could not grow, but we found it to be absolutely opposite from what they were telling us. When people understand this and it's preached with love and sincerity, and brokenness and tears- and tears.

Speaker 3 48:01

It resonates with them.

Speaker 2 48:06

That's the key for it to resonate in the hearts of people that are hearing it. I can't tell you the times I preached on Sunday morning and depend on the Scripture in Isaiah.

Speaker 3 48:33

And depend on the scripture in Isaiah.

Speaker 2 48:37

It talks about. There'd be a word behind you or a voice behind you saying this is the way, walking in the way At the moment.

Speaker 3 49:05

it's painful and it's a burden to carry when you're trying to reshape the mindset of oneself and of other men and women.

Speaker 2 49:15

But I can tell you the reward and the blessing of people separating from sin. You cannot believe what God does in their life.

Speaker 3 49:25

But the blessings that are the result of this. I have no word for what God can really do in these people's lives. The blessings of God flow every way.

Speaker 2 49:48

Financially.

Speaker 3 49:49

Financially In the natural.

Four Pillars for Building God's Kingdom

Speaker 2 49:57

In the natural and certainly in the spiritual. So I'm just happy to share my heart with you today. I see our time is just about up. I see our time is just about up and I will give you what I know for points in building a church or the kingdom of God. The first one, of course, is prayer you keep.

Speaker 3 50:34

The first one, of course, is prayer People will not listen to the Word of God until you get them started praying, yes. So point number one is prayer. You will not let people hear before you have this under control. Prayer must be prioritized.

Speaker 2 50:52

And making that sacrifice of not eating at least one day a week, and remember when you've done that for a year, you've given up 52 days of eating of eating. The second thing is one of the most powerful tools, and that's the power of love and loving people.

Speaker 3 51:27

Yes.

Speaker 2 51:34

I couldn't overemphasize that one point.

Speaker 3 51:42

People know when they're loved.

Speaker 2 51:49

And then the third one is just plain old work. It's reaching people. The fourth one is a spirit-filled teaching ministry. Too many times, I think, when people think of teaching they think of something that is, they're legislating dry, uh trying to force people into doing something.

Speaker 3 52:35

But we know that I don't care if it's on a Tuesday night or a Sunday morning it's got to be spiritual and anointed to reach the heart I'll close with this.

Speaker 2 53:14

In Numbers, the 12th chapter, Miriam and Aaron, the Bible said they spake against Moses.

Speaker 3 53:21

Well, I'll end with this. In the 4th chapter of the.

Speaker 2 53:28

Bible, they said have the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses, Could you?

Speaker 3 53:36

repeat the chapter please.

Speaker 2 53:38

I'm just going to give you high parts of it. I'm not going to read it all.

Speaker 3 53:43

Okay.

Speaker 2 53:44

They said did God only speak through you? Moses?

Speaker 3 53:49

Skulle Gud bare snakken om dig, Moses.

Speaker 2 53:54

I thought this was a long time after they had crossed the Red Sea and Miriam had beat the tambourine, I found out it was only just a few months, a year or so after her rejoicing and praising God with the temporary, now she's criticizing Moses, and this is the challenge I want to leave all of you, ministers, with today with today.

Speaker 3 54:45

God told Aaron and Moses.

Speaker 2 54:48

He said I speak to some of prophets. I speak to them through visions and dreams to them through visions and dreams. But he said it's not so with Moses. I speak to Moses, mouth to mouth.

Speaker 3 55:23

God gave me this the other day, the ultimate of preaching and teaching.

Speaker 2 55:33

The word of the Lord is when God is bypassing your brain. That it's flowing to you and through you, things you have not thought out of a commentary, but it's an unction of an anointing that is flowing through you, and that's when God is speaking through you mouth to mouth. Now, that's the ultimate of feeding sheep of feeding sheep. It's not your bend on it, it's not your twist on it, it's not what your culture is or how you've been raised.

Speaker 2 56:57

But it's flowing directly from the Holy Ghost through you to the people and I promise you that's when it resonates with the people and they will follow you and turn their back on the world and they will be completely reshapen in God's love.

Closing Prayer and Benediction

Speaker 3 57:40

God bless all of you today. Thank you, sir.

Speaker 1 57:48

Yes, sir, you're welcome. Oh, praise God, what a powerful word we've received here today, and I have asked Pastor Andreas from Norway to close us with whatever he feels in the Holy Ghost today.

Speaker 4 58:14

Well, praise the Lord, I've been so blessed, as you all have been blessed today. I've been so blessed by hearing Bishop Holmes teaching. I've had a privilege of knowing him for the last 23 years and, if there's anything, for the last few years also. You know I've looked to him as my pastor and if there's anything, that this great man of God has influenced me with the love for prayer.

Speaker 3 59:11

And he has also influenced me with a passion of loving people. I think something froze brother, or yes, sir, one minute I'm getting.

Speaker 1 1:00:03

Brother andreas, I'm back right here yes, sir, we've got you again.

Speaker 4 1:00:14

Okay, I'm sorry, well, I'm gonna. I'm gonna close it up in prayer, but I just wanted to to thank bishop palms one more time for this wonderful teaching, and I'm so humbled and so inspired by listening to his teaching. I want to emphasize one more thing here today, and that is that this preaching of the cross and this preaching of holiness the Bible says that the preaching of the cross is foolishness for the world, but it's a power unto salvation for us.

Speaker 3 1:01:01

It says that the preaching of the cross is a power unto salvation for those who believe and those who want to receive.

Speaker 4 1:01:12

Let me say this the preaching of the cross, that is everything that has to do with holiness.

Speaker 3 1:01:22

To crucify this flesh.

Speaker 4 1:01:26

It will always be foolishness for them that are perishing them. That doesn't want to have this truth, but for us, this is the key to the power. It's the power unto salvation. What God dealt with me for some years ago was that if you take the foolishness of the gospel away, you also take the power away from the gospel. Churches and ministers today in their hunger of being accepted by the world they have lost the power.

Speaker 3 1:02:14

I'd rather be foolish in the eyes of the world. And wonderful message, lord.

Speaker 4 1:02:17

I thank you, lord, for the for the voice of truth that you've given us, Lord. It is your love toward us that you let us hear this wonderful truth. It is your love revealed in our life, Lord, that you send great men in our way to share the truth with us, lord, because you want to see us saved, lord. I pray, Lord, for the ministers all across Europe. Lord, I pray for every pastor, every preacher, every leader.

Speaker 4 1:03:00

Lord, that a hunger for truth will come into our hearts, lord and Lord, that you will let on our heart, lord, and on our minds, lord, hallelujah, the love and passion for prayer, the love and passion for souls and the love and passion for truth. Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus. Keep, lord, strengthening Brother Robinette and his great ministry.

Speaker 2 1:03:23

Lord I pray.

Speaker 4 1:03:24

Lord, that your anointing will keep flowing in his life, in his family's life. Lord, in the name of Jesus, I pray. Lord, let there be revival of holiness, let there be revival of prayer. Let there be revival, lord hallelujah, of loving people, loving souls, lord hallelujah holiness into your image, into your mind. Lord hallelujah, until your name is shining through us, lord, like ever before. In the name of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 1:04:05

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Speaker 4 1:04:11

I pray, lord hallelujah, that you will revive. Lord hallelujah, every youth leader. Lord hallelujah, every worship leader. Lord hallelujah, every Sunday school teacher. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, thank you, lord, for your love. We place, lord, this great work into your hands. Lord, in the name of Jesus. In Jesus' name, amen, amen, amen, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Speaker 1 1:04:34

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, oh hallelujah, praise God. Thank you, bishop Holmes, thank you, brother Andreas, and both of you for just speaking here today and just releasing what does say at the Lord.

Speaker 3 1:05:04

Speaker 3 1:05:22

Speaker 1 1:05:29

But I want to say I love Brother Andreas and his family, the great work they are doing in Norway and beyond, the influence, the kingdom influence that God has given them all across Europe and beyond.

Speaker 3 1:06:11

The example that they set in Norway for just holiness and love for the truth and love for people.

Speaker 1 1:06:21

Good to have good friends, but it's better to have apostolic friends, and I love the apostolic friends that God has given me, and these two great men of God and their families are my apostolic friends and I'd stand on any hill with them, that's for sure. But I'm so thankful for apostolic mentoring. I'm so thankful, brother Tron, you did such a wonderful job today. I honor you and your family as well.
