SPEAKER_02Psalm 23, verse 5. Surely goodness and mercy, uh, verse 6. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. That's 24 1. There's a six, I'm telling you, there's a six. Psalm 23, 6. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I'll dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Of those five verses, let's read all of them. Psalm 23, one the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack anything. The Lord is my shepherd, I won't want. I won't be in lack. Everybody say, I'll never be in lack. Yeah, I'll never lack. Two. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside, keep that up. Everybody say, Green pastures. God has me in a dry season right now. I don't believe you. God does not lead you into lack, he leads you into a place called Rehoboth where there's enough space for you to prosper. Can you say amen? And the Bible says, don't despise the day of small beginnings. There's there's a kid that graduated from our Bible college. His name's Makana. He's from Hawaii. I met him when he was 15. He told me back then I feel called to be an evangelist and do what you do. And he ended up coming to our Bible college from Hawaii. And uh people don't leave Hawaii to come to the East Coast much. So that's a big deal for him to do that. Just like he said, he graduated and then he launched out into the mission into the evangelistic field. And I've been watching him. I've been having secondhand PTSD, watching his little crowds and uh imagining his little offerings and pastors stealing out of his offerings and all that stuff you go through when you start off in the ministry. But then I I wrote to him the other day, I said, You're turning the corner. He was at a church that had an actual building and people in it, and the pastor just extended the meeting. So I'm not knocking the day of small beginnings, but don't turn into a personal or a proverbial uh continual time of small beginnings by making your confession that you're in a dry season. I would never confess ever that I'm in a dry season. All these quote-unquote prophetic voices that are being exposed. You know how they started down the wrong path? By saying stuff that's against Scripture. They would say stuff like, how many know prophetically, sometimes we're in a season of attack? Well, people love that because it takes all the onus off you, and then you can blame Jesus or the devil, whoever you want to blame, for being in debt or not having a job or nothing working out. Everybody loves a faith that puts everything on God or gives you the ability to uh to blame generational curses or the devil. I'm telling you that in Deuteronomy chapter 30, when God said, Today I set before you life and death, blessings and curses, oh, that you would choose life that you and your children might live. That lets you know the ball is not in Satan's court, the ball's not in God's court, the devil's already voted against you. God's voted for you. You start making decisions to cast the deciding ballot and walk in accordance with God's word. And God said, if you do that, if you don't do it, it'll bring disaster. But if you do it, it'll bring you prosperity, it'll give you hope for the future. Isn't it interesting how just in two weeks of those meetings, that old woman went from dying and not being able to breathe to deciding I'm gonna get a new house? Because you start walking down a different path. You go from getting pulled out of the pit to goodness and mercy, following you every day of your life. I came to tell you in Big Spring, Texas, God has a miracle with your name on it. God's got more miracles with your name on it. He's got a daily supply of goodness with your name on it. He's got a daily supply of mercy with your name on it. He's not looking to knock you down, he's looking to lift you up. And today I see God lifting you up in Jesus' mighty name. Let me see Psalm 23. He lets me rest. Everybody say rest. Rest. Everybody say divine rest. So I'm gonna talk to you a little bit about some of the goodness and mercy God gives you. One is he'll cause you to rest. When Peter went to prison and the angel went to break him out of prison, what was Peter doing in prison? Sleeping. Divine rest. And then you got pastors that don't have divine rest, that are sleeping in a $5,000 bed and need a sabbatical because they can't rest. And then after they get back from the sabbatical, the average minister retires within a year of when they take their long sabbatical because they're addressing the wrong problem. If you don't know how to put your spirit at rest and let God see, it's like a hard thing to explain to people, not you, but like ministers will see me traveling and they'll say, You need to make sure you rest. Not not smart ministers. You know, Jesse Duplantis doesn't tell me that. He's moving harder than I am at 76. But other guys that are barely doing anything will tell you, you need to make sure you rest. And what they don't understand is I am resting. I'm even resting right now. I actually feel better when I get done preaching than when I started preaching. Because whatever you're receiving by the grace of God, it's flowing through me first. That's why when you preach in the Holy Ghost, it's it actually is difficult to stop preaching. Because the more you preach, the more the power builds up. Can you say amen? So everybody say, I am resting. I tell you today, this is your season of divine rest. You're gonna accomplish the most you've ever accomplished and feel like you're barely even doing anything because it's not gonna be you doing it, it's gonna be the grace of God flowing through you. If you receive it, man, I feel a victory in here today. Take 15 seconds, clap your hands, oh ye people. Remind God why he loves Big Spring, Texas so much. You're coming into a new season, a season of rest, a season of green meadows. Hallelujah, hallelujah! Say with me, the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. Praise the Lord. They would say it's my season of rest. One time I drove uh pretty late. I I didn't have enough money to fly even commercial when I started, so I drove in my car to a place called Plattsburgh, New York, and they would they had a room that they kept for guest speakers in the upstairs of the church. It was next to the church library. I think the church had a Christian school, and there was the library, and then there was a door, and it went into like a speaker's apartment. So I went in there to sleep, but before I slept, even though it was like 1:30 in the morning, I was gonna have to get up at at like 8 and uh preach. I thought, well, I'm I'm gonna start studying. And so I went to get ready to study and get a message together, and I felt the Lord speak to me as clear as day. You go to sleep, and I'm gonna take care of this meeting. Well, you only have to tell me once. I went to sleep, and I'm telling you, I dreamed the most vivid dream. I don't know if I can remember one dream I've had since that day. I don't dream. I just wake up with my clothes on that I had on the night before, and I don't know when I fell asleep. I I wake up with my shoes on, I wake up with my jacket on a lot of times. I just pass out like a heroin addict, but without the heroin. Amen. So I uh I went to sleep, and I'm telling you, in that dream, I went out of that bedroom and into the library, and I had never even been in the library. I only went to the library when we had to go in grade school. I've never been to a library in 20 years. So the only reason I knew I was in the library is I went the next day and it looked exactly like I looked in the dream. And when I went in there, I took out a concordance and some other study books and a couple versions of the Bible. This is pre-internet on the phone. And I studied in the dream, I would say, for four hours and put a message together. It was like the Lord was giving me a message. Then after I finished putting the message together in my dream, I went and got dressed, went down to the auditorium. This was at First Assembly of God in Plattsburgh, New York. Do you have the lady from Plattsburgh, New York? That it's like old footage you do. So I'll make a point out of that. Everybody say he leads me to rest. What was Daniel doing in the lion's den? Yeah, he wasn't cursing lion. Take authority over lion. No. He laid down. Everybody say he makes me lie down. That's right. If you're in debt, you're gonna be in just as much debt if you go to sleep as if you scrunch your head real hard and worry. Worrying doesn't add anything to anybody, it takes time from you. I'm not saying you gotta be in debt. I'm just saying the way out isn't to worry and keep doing the math on your budget. There comes sometimes where you just hand it to God and say, Father, I have no ability to get myself. That lady could have gone to breathing exercises, deep breathing exercises. She could have done whatever she wanted. Those 62-year-old cancer-damaged lungs were never coming back. And so when you've come to the end of yourself and there's nothing more you can do, there's a God that multiplies the cruise of oil and multiplies the jar of meal. Tonight you're gonna take your burden and pass it over to God, and God will take care of you. I went down to that, uh I got my suit on in the dream, went down and preached, and uh, when I finished preaching, I woke up. I I had studied the sermon, written the sermon, and preached the sermon, and I'm telling you, when I woke up, I could see the notes. When I went down to preach, all the people were right where they were in the dream. See, that's God helping you. He was saying, God is a helper. One more time, God is my helper. I feel bad for people that don't know God that way, and most people don't know God that way. Not only is he a helper, he's actively wishing you would let him help you. But he won't do it without your permission. I I uh on YouTube one time I was driving to church. Of course, the hotel here is so nice, it's like three and a half minutes away. But uh some places we stay, it's like 35 minutes. So I'll put preaching on just to get my mind thinking about the Bible while me and Abraham drive in. And uh this guy popped up that I had never heard preach before. He popped up on my YouTube feed and it said live. So I thought, well, I'll just listen to him preach. So literally I put it on and he goes, I'm a young church planter. He was a guest speaker at this church. He said, as the pastor told you, I'm a young church planter. He's in his 30s. He said, Let me tell you four things about when you plant a church. You don't have your a building, you don't have any money, you don't have anybody to help you, and you don't have any people show up to hear you when you preach. I thought, buddy, while you're at it, why don't you just take a 357 and shoot yourself in the head? Because if you talk like that, death and life is in the power of the tongue. Your mouth is loading a revolver and shooting your own destiny. Who taught you to talk like that? See, I don't know Pastor Sam that well, but I guarantee you, in a little town preaching like he preaches, I'm sure he has a reputation of he wants those people's money, because I'm sure him and his wife made a plan one day 30 years ago. We want money. I know what we'll do. We'll start a church in Big Spring, Texas, and we'll plunder that place's money. They say the same stuff about preachers like him all over the country. They want people's money, they talk that health and wealth stuff. What do you want? Poverty and sickness? That's the opposite of health and wealth. I'd rather have plenty of money and I'd rather have a strong body than a weak body with no money. Can you say amen? Yeah, absolutely. And you don't have to preach that hard in Texas. No state gets on board with prosperity like Texas, because Texas is holding the whole of the United States up with its economy. And I'm telling you, all of the good things that are happening in this area is only the beginning. This place is coming into the best time it's ever had in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Man, I feel good tonight. How many already receiving from the goodness of God right now? Praise the Lord. So when I when I heard that guy, I thought, A, what an idiot, because I wouldn't have thought he was an idiot if it was 1985. Because I would think, well, someone should get him some materials so he can understand faith. But in 2025, which is what it was that year last year, if you haven't learned to talk better than that, as a preacher, I'm not saying this to you, but if you're a preacher and you don't understand the faith message, it's because you were delinquent. You're like a stockbroker that doesn't know what the Dow Jones is or the NASDAQ. You have not studied your craft, you have not looked into who is conquering for Christ in the world. What do they believe? What do they preach? If I was starting a church, and I did start a church, I would make up my mind to get around people, whatever country I had to go to, like Nigeria, that have half a million, I'd hear how they talk, I'd hear what they say, I'd listen to what God showed them out of the word. Don't say what losers say, don't repeat what losers say. Start to speak out of faith in the word of God. Think of how different that man's church would be. If instead of saying those four things, what if his confession was, I'm gonna tell you something. I'm planting a church for God. And one thing I know is God's gonna give us property, God's gonna send in people, God's gonna give us divine resources, and God's gonna send us divine help. I tell you in the name of Jesus today, God's got divine resources with your name on it. You're not gonna struggle to survive, you're not gonna struggle to overcome. This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. Praise God. Well, that that I believe that was the service that in Plattsburgh where I had what I would say was our first notable miracle in a meeting. We had a great meeting that morning, came back that night, and there was a lady sitting in like bed clothes with a blanket over. Found out later she was 90 some pounds like that other lady that we played. And um, I saw her crying with her hands lifted. I I I could all I could, I don't know whether it's with my natural eye or my spirit, man. I could see like a cloud over her. And I said, ma'am, Jesus is touching you right now. I said, stand up in the aisle and lift your hands. And from about, I barely had anybody ever fall under the power back then, even if I laid my hands on them. But from about, I don't know, 10 feet away, I said, I said, Jesus is healing you right now. And she went, she didn't fall under the power. She went under the power so violently. It looked like somebody shot her. It looked like she'd been shotgun hunting or duck hunting with Dick Cheney, got shot right in the chest, went down on her back. In fact, she hit the ground so hard. I remember my first thought was well, if this goes to court and she's dead, no one can say I touched her, so I'm off the hook. Because I thought, man, if I had laid hands on her, she hit the ground that hard, I would be at least looking at manslaughter in the state of New York. And um, when she hit the ground, nobody caught her. You could hear the thud, and she was 97 pounds. It I mean, you know, when you're a preacher, you're supposed to act like you've seen everything before? I went like this. Then when she hit the ground, she was shaken so hard that her teeth were chattering and you could hear it. So I I they went to put a cloth over. I said, Leave her alone. Just let the Lord touch her right there. Then when I finished the meeting, she came up to me smiling real big. She said, Hey, Father, she's from the Roman Catholic Church. She went, Father, I'm healed. I'm healed. I said, Well, I'm not from here and I don't know you, so I don't even know uh what you had. She said, I had a stroke six and a half years ago, and then after the stroke, it I got stage four cancer. And she said it got in my esophagus, and they had to cut my esophagus and part of my stomach out. And so for six and a half years, I haven't had any solid food. I said, Well, how are you alive? What do you eat? She said, just insure and boost, and sometimes I can hold down some baby food. And she said, uh, but I'm healed. I said, Well, how do you know you're healed? Because you can't see the inside of you. She said, Because the stroke paralyzed my parasalis muscles. Those are the muscles you use to swallow, which, if you didn't know that, neither did I. You end up when you pray for the sick, you end up learning a lot about people's physical conditions and stuff. So she said, I can't even swallow my own spit. I would drool on myself. But she said, I can swallow. She showed me her swallowing. Well, whatever that was on me that had her get laid out, that I would say was the gift of faith, and probably started working on me the night before. Smith Wigglesworth said, When the gift of faith is an operation, you always know ahead of time what God's gonna do. So something rose up in me. I'm telling you, back then, this was the first year I was married, I was 27, I think. I said, uh, I wouldn't have, I was like nervous not to cause trouble. That's basically what they teach you in Bible school. Like, don't do anything crazy and uh don't get arrested and don't get sued. So I I'm not gonna tell a lady that can't eat and is missing part of her esophagus and stomach to go eat, but I'm telling you, without thinking. I said, not having eaten for six and a half years, what's the food that you always thought to yourself, if I eat this, if I ever get better, I'm gonna eat this. Her eyes lit up. She said, Oh, I always said I wanted a McDonald's cheeseburger and hot French fries. Well, she's in luck because that was right in my price range back then. I said, a dollars. This is uh 2006, I think, maybe seven. I said, give me your uh twenty dollars. I said, here's twenty dollars. I said, go and order that food. I don't know if twenty dollars would be enough to do that now, but it was then. I said, take this twenty dollars and order whatever you want, pray before you eat it, and you'll be just fine. Well, her Christian family that was with her, they objected. They said, the doctors told us that if she ever eats solid food, she'll immediately asphyxiate and die. To which I responded, don't worry about it. Well, that was the gift of faith. Because I'm telling you, even now at 45, getting ready to turn 46 and doing this for 23 years, not four. If somebody told me that, I'd tell, okay, you know, you're not even supposed to eat McDonald's when you're healthy. So don't worry about it. That scripture that they had up there, he he leads me to rest. Everybody say, rest. The gift of faith has a rest to it. Where actually other people get nervous on your behalf. Other people wonder for you, how are you gonna? I see you need a new church, Reverend. Where are you gonna get the money? That God starts troubling, the gift of faith puts you at ease and starts troubling other people that have no reason to care about you or what you're doing. They start getting worried on your behalf because of how comfortable you are. I tell you a third time tonight, God is sending you helpers in this life to make sure you make it to the other side. Stop focusing on what you don't have and start focusing on what you do have. God is gonna send help to his people in Big Spring, beginning today, in Jesus' name. If you believe it, can you shout amen? So the pastor said, Why don't we have a meeting again tomorrow night? He was an old Pentecostal guy, brother uh Sansusi. I said, Sure, you know, my schedule is open till the millennium. And so um, I'm kind of putting this together as I'm telling you the story. I never connected the dots, but I feel like in entering into whatever I entered into on Saturday night, that message that came from the Holy Ghost and the way God orchestrated it did all this. Because I never had a meeting extended, I never had had a lady, I mean, this was a notable miracle, a sign and a wonder. That's not like somebody getting healed because uh of a sore throat. That's a missing part of an esophagus and stomach and can't eat solid food. 97 pounds with cancer. So it never dawned on me what I said until the next night. And I told Adolis, I said, uh, I said, uh, I didn't tell her. But as I was getting ready for church, I thought, oh my goodness. You told that lady last night to go have McDonald's. And then this all going in my head. You know, your first instinct is self-preservation. So I thought, well, if she dies, I'll just say I never told her that. You know, she's probably on a lot of medication. I would never tell anybody something like that. And then I thought, no, you can't do that because when you told her, her family, and there were three of them, all said, if she eats, she'll die, and you said, Don't worry about it. So though this is not good. So we had got we were staying at the La Quinta Inn, and I drove to um I drove to the church and I drove around the building twice. And Adol said, What are you doing? You know, there is plenty of parking spaces. I was looking for a New York State trooper. I thought they're gonna they're gonna be waiting for me to take me to take me in for killing this lady, and you say, Well, aren't you? You willing to be arrested for the gospel? Yes, but you have to catch me first. Canada's only 66 miles away. I don't make a run for it. So I didn't see a cop, and I parked the car, I walked in, and it was one of those like A-frame assemblies of God churches with a lobby and sanctuary. So I walked into the lobby and there's no cops. And then I walked into the sanctuary, and I kid you not, standing right there in full uniform, is a New York State trooper. And I thought, well, I had a good four-year run. And he said, Are you the evangelist? I said, I am. I'm telling you, my blood was in my toes. He said, uh, man, that was a great service last night. I was thinking, yeah, up until that part when I killed that lady, so you're gonna tell me. He said, I tried to get tonight off to come to the service, but they told me that um I couldn't have it off, but they made an agreement that I could sit and listen to you as long as I kept my uniform on. So I hope it doesn't bother you. I said, no, no, no, I just peed a perfectly good pair of suit pants, but other than that, it's all good. So I walked to the front row and I'm still nervous because the lady's not there, and I thought if she got healed, I'm sure she'd be here. And then all of a sudden a bony finger tapped me on the shoulder. And I turned around, and uh she had a Polaroid photo. Her name's Terry, T-E-R-R-I. She had a Polaroid photo of her eating a McDonald's cheeseburger from the night before, and she said, I went to McDonald's and I got a cheeseburger and fries. That's the picture. I had a cheese, hallelujah. Praise God. I I I ate a McDonald's cheeseburger and large French fries, and I was still hungry. I guess so after six and a half years. She said, So I went back and got a 20-piece order of McNuggets, and I ate all those too. And then she came up and testified. I don't know, it's not good audio and stuff because somebody's just just I don't know what they recorded it with. This was like before camera phones, but this is her telling it that night. Let me see it. Oh, that's the night before. Every still comes.
SPEAKER_05And it went on through the whole day. That was six years ago. Stroke, paralyzed my peristalus muscles, through my swallowing, through my thacoma, through my parasolus, what makes you swallow. Fully paralyzed. There's no way you're never going to swallow solid foods again. You'll never be able to swallow solid foods.
SPEAKER_02How many of you it's your first night tonight? I'm not gonna get mad. I'm glad you're here. I said this the other night. You heard them say your parasolus muscles are paralyzed, you'll never be able to swallow solid foods again. Never let somebody tell you what you are or aren't gonna be able to do. They're not God. Doctors aren't God, lawyers aren't God, judges aren't God. You can do what the Bible says you can do. I tell you in the listen to me. I tell you in the name of Jesus tonight. Everybody that's been told you'll never have children, everybody that's told you'll never be able to do this again, Jesus is gonna write a new story for you tonight in the name of Jesus Christ. If you believe it, can you shout aloud, Amen? Go ahead.
SPEAKER_05And I just broke down and I just cried and cried. I don't know if who was here last night, but I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_02You know what's interesting? She said when they said that, I cried and cried and cried. You know, in Numbers, it says, when the ten spies spread their evil report of unbelief that we're not able to take the country, the giants will consume us when we come in. The Bible says the community wept aloud all night. Some churches, I don't go to those churches much anymore, but when I used to go to churches that were like that, always crying. My wife, I used to make a joke to her. I had a I had a baseball stat that I kept. Like, you know how they have war in baseball, wins over replacement, and on base percentage. I did one that was the amount of tissue boxes the church had divided by the number of people. And so if they had two or three tissue boxes and there were 500 people, I knew it was a generally happy church. But if I went and there were 17 people in 30 tissue boxes, I knew those people like to cry and blow their nose, and we're we're in for a rough couple days to get this thing broken open because weeping is not of God. Did you know trying to take tears into heaven is like trying to take cocaine into the United States? They confiscate it and don't let it in. The Bible says he will take the tears from every eye and dry every tear, and there will be no more crying, no more weeping, no more sorrow, and no more pain. For the old order of things is passed away forever. I want to add another scripture with that. The Bible says that uh uh pray that my will that is done in heaven be on earth. Heaven is not a sad place, in his presence is fullness of joy, at his right hand, pleasure forevermore. And Jesus said, the way we act in heaven is how I want you acting here on earth. Some of you have cried enough tears to last ten lifetimes, but tonight the joy of the Lord that's your strength is coming back into your spirit. You're gonna laugh in the face of the devil. I said, You're gonna laugh in the face of the devil. The devil may have had the first laugh, but you will laugh last. In Jesus' name. Go ahead, keep playing.
SPEAKER_05Pump me up. I stood there and I don't even remember anything really after. I I don't know. They said I laid on the floor, and um all I know is if you want to pass it around, there's a picture of me eating a cheeseburger last night after I left here.
SPEAKER_02I kept that picture, I got it framed up in even in our new church. I just like looking at it. Every time the devil tries to discourage me, I just pick it up and show it to him. Yeah, because that's a miracle right there. Came back the next year, she was at 127 pounds, up from 97, fitting her dresses again. She she would email my wife, she emailed my wife, my hair grew back, I got it colored again, that kind of stuff. And uh God turned her around. Well, we took that picture and framed it and put it in our first office. This is 20 uh probably 15. 2015, probably. And so the fire marshal came in our office to check the fire extinguishers and uh to make sure they were up to date. So he's I happen to be in the office that day, which is a rarity, and he's looking at the fire extinguisher, and then he sees that picture. He goes, What's that? You know, why you got a picture of some emaciated lady eating a cheeseburger in your office? I said, uh, I was in kind of an ornery mood that day. I said, Do you really want to know? He said, Yeah. I said, That lady had cancer, and she was paralyzed in her parasalis muscles and couldn't swallow and hadn't had solid food in six and a half years. And Jesus healed her. And she sent us that picture and showed us how she was able to eat food again. His eyes got big and he went, What do you people do at this office? I said, I'm a preacher. He went, uh uh, what kind? I said, the shouting, screaming kind. He said, I know about that. He said, I've watched that on TV a little bit. I said, but and I'm telling you, the the flow of miracles should be in every Christian's life. El milagros de Dios, the miracles of God. They're not something for once every once in a while. The Bible says, Surely, not hopefully, surely, goodness and mercy will follow me how many days of my life? Oh, so you have scriptural grounds every morning when you wake up to say thank you, God, that before I lay my head back down tonight, I'm gonna have an encounter with your supernatural goodness and your supernatural mercy. The devil, that's what I don't like. I don't like at all. And I don't really like it less every hour, and I'm liking it less even as I'm talking right now. Any kind of preaching that gets you set up for demonic attack and curses, I detest it. If I was in a service and somebody was preaching like that, I promise you, I'll cut my hands over my mouth and boo the guy till he shuts up. I don't like people talking about how great the devil is and how tough the world is. Let me see first John 5 4. Whatever is born of God overcomes the world. Whatever is born of God overcomes the world. That's why becoming a Christian is not joining a church. This is not Jehovah's Witness, this is not Church of Latter-day Saints, where you're joining something. You get born again by the Spirit of God, you have an encounter with the blood of Jesus that makes you in the person of Christ. You look like Jesus, you talk like Jesus, you smell like Jesus, you walk like Jesus, you carry the power of the risen Jesus on the inside of you because you're not following after him, you're born of God, and whatever is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcomes the world. Are you bringing her for prayer, or she just needs to stand up? Did you bring her for prayer? Or just she just needs rocked? Okay, no problem. I have a daughter too. But you know why I'm asking? It reminded me on the left side in uh uh Indiana, I was preaching like this. Here we say faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word. When you preach the Bible, something travels in to your spirit. The Bible calls it a substance called faith, and it starts turning things around on your insides. That's where everything starts, is in your spirit. Until something changes on the inside of you, nothing changes on the outside. But once you let faith come into your spirit, it can't stay there. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. I loved how that old lady in Kentucky said, when though when my friend said, You can't afford a house, I just said, I know Jesus is gonna help me. You start saying victory things, you start saying everything's gonna be alright. I tell you a fifth time today, whatever you came in here facing, we're not giving you hope, we're not giving you encouragement, we're giving you resurrection life to stand up and punch the devil straight in his face.
SPEAKER_03Hallelujah!
SPEAKER_02Hallelujah. Let me see first John 5, 4. Whatever's born of God, everybody say that's me. Settle that tonight. That's me. I'm trying. Quit trying and get saved. Being born of God's an event, it's not something you're trying to do. If you're trying, you're going to hell. Be born of God. Everybody say, I'm born of God. You repent of sin, you receive Christ, and you walk according to the word. Not difficult. Whatever is born of God, everybody say that's me. Then naturally, like a dog barks. You know what? My dog didn't have to go to barking school. It barks because it's a dog. Roosters, cockadoodle do because they're roosters. I'm trying to think of more barnyard noises, but I'm down to two. Cows move. Cats meow. Because it's in their nature. And when you're not born of God, it's in your nature to be a freaking failure. That nothing you do works out. Your marriage doesn't work out, your children grow up to be nothings and problems, because humanity has failure attached to it. Flesh has failure attached to it. But when you get born of God, though you dwell in a flesh body, the flesh is not in dominion over the spirit, the spirit is in dominion over the flesh. Hallelujah. And that's why the Bible says, walk. Walk ye therefore, no longer according to your former manner. Your flesh. You don't let the carnal man dictate what you think, what you say, or what you do. But set your mind on things above. Walk not by sight, but walk by faith. Live in the spirit. I said, live in the spirit, walk in the spirit, walk and live in the power of the spirit. That's all I was doing that night in Plattsburgh. I was walking in the spirit. I wasn't delivering a speech. I noticed that lady. Upon noticing her, realized she had faith to be healed. Or him and called to him in a loud voice, stand up. And immediately the man jumped to his feet and began walking. Walk in the spirit. Live in the spirit. Walk and live in the spirit. Those are not instructions given to unbelievers, they're instructions given to believers. Everybody say, walk in the spirit. So you keep a guard on what you think, casting down any thought or vain imagination that would exalt itself against God's word. I'm not watching a movie about some guy's wife dying of cancer and thinking, what would I do if my wife died? Let me tell you something. If you don't make up your mind to put a guard on what you think, then the world is gonna have your mind in turmoil. Every commercial. Hank, did you hear your friend Larry died? No. He's only 48. Aren't you 48? I am. And now Donna doesn't have anybody to take care of her. What would happen if that happened to us? What about you? What about me? Put the prices right back on. I'm not sitting in my living room in the three hours off that I have and thinking about death and whether money's gonna be there for my family or not. Death doesn't belong to me, life belongs to me. And I came to tell you tonight, death doesn't belong to you. Jesus destroyed the power of death. Say it so the devil can hear you. Say death doesn't belong to me. Life belongs to me. And then you gotta contend. That's why I don't, and again, the lady that gave the testimony, I love you. But you know, if God wants me to live, I'll live. If he doesn't, I okay, then do that when you wake up in the morning. God wants me to brush my teeth, it'll be brushed. If he doesn't, I'll leave them unbrushed. You're gonna have one disgusting vacant of teeth mouth very soon. It's amazing how when it comes to little things, everybody knows to wash. Nobody, nobody takes a poo in the toilet and goes, if God wants my hiney wiped, it'll be wiped. But if not, boy, that's going over better than most churches would have. Not a very judgmental crowd. No, you learn to wipe your own hine, you learn to tie your own shoes, you learn to brush your own teeth, you learn to wash your hands. Somebody has enough sense to tell you. Camila was traveling with me during COVID, and then COVID started to kind of lift. It was like 2023. And um she asked if she could use my office bathroom. I said, sure. I heard the toilet flesh, but I didn't hear the sink run. So she comes out of the sink or out of the bathroom. I said, Camilla, do you wash your hands? She went, COVID's over. I said, Yes, but there's still some things that we're gonna carry forward, like washing our hands. So you have somebody instruct you to wash your hands, you have somebody instruct you to wipe your hiney, you have somebody instruct you to take a shower every day or two and uh iron your clothes and wash your clothes and stuff like that. But then when it comes to the more important things of the spirit, you also need somebody to instruct you. See, anybody, well, I won't take a show of hands, but if you ever did bus ministry at a church and you wouldn't pick the kids up from low-income housing or trailer parks, most of them stink. They're not washed. Soap doesn't cost money, laundry determination doesn't cost money, it's a mentality. When you pick up and you go, man, you think to yourself, how come nobody buys you nice clothes or takes care of your clothes or brushes your teeth or anything? Your parents are are delinquent. And so a lot of people, they have good clothes, they have brushed teeth, they have washed clothes, but then in the spirit, they're uh they're a stinky trailer park ministry bus kid because they've never had spiritual parents to teach them. The same way you brush your teeth in the natural, you keep a guard on your mind. There's certain things my dad told me before when I was like 13. Son, we don't talk like that in this house. I wasn't cursing, I was complaining. We don't have, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Son, instead of saying that, lift your hands and begin to thank God that He supplied all your needs. So, what preachers do is because many people haven't had somebody to instruct them. You grew up in a house where they glorified what the devil was doing. Always talking about attack and poverty, and there's not enough money, and you can never get ahead. But now you've got somebody standing by the Holy Ghost telling you we don't talk like that in here. You've joined a new family, you're born of God, and in this family we have more than enough. We have healing, we have health, we have long life. Come on, if you receive that tonight, go ahead and do what you're already doing. Clap your hands, all ye people. Shout unto God. Say it so the devil can hear you. Say, I'm born of God, I overcome the world. This is the victory that overcomes the world. Even my faith. Let me pray for my friend here that I met last night. Just come around and meet me at the altar. You look like you could pick me up and throw me through the wall. So I'm only praying for what I pray by the Spirit. You look healthy, and I'm sure you are, but put one hand on your belly and one hand on your heart. All your blood levels go to normal and will stay normal the rest of your life. You're gonna be one healthy preacher, you're gonna be one healthy man of God. Your body's gonna be a testament to the miracle-working power of God and the efficacy of faith in God's word. All levels that need lowered are lowered, all levels that need raised are raised. Right now, God gives you a perfect liver, perfect pancreas, perfect kidneys, and a perfect heart. You'll never be on dialysis or any other kind of equipment your whole life. In Jesus' name. They'll nobody will ever have the the privilege of seeing you hooked up to any kind of equipment. Anything that ran in your family stops with you right now. Indiana Mondoro. Do you have that guy whose brother was in the drug cartel in New Mexico that got saved that was having seizures? Oh you love it. Did anybody ever hear of a preacher named Oral Robert? Anybody ever hear what he tell the story that God told him he was gonna make him uh you're gonna take my healing power to your generation? Anybody ever hear what he said what happened to his right hand before the service? What would happen get hot? Quit saying the laying on hands is a point of contact. It can be, but there's also carrying God's power on your body. They've relegated, yes, there are different ways to get people. Healed, so you can take where they where the word was taught to people and they got healed. That is a way to get people healed that I employ all the time, but it's not the only way to get people healed. Garments that were taken from the body of Paul didn't teach the sick the word. The mud in the blind man's eyes didn't teach him the word, it regenerated the eye from the power that was in Christ. Can you say amen? Mix the power of the Holy Ghost in with the power of the word, and you have C4 and a detonator that'll blow the devil's hind end straight out of Big Spring, Texas. I'm gonna tell you something. Right now, I'm not taking credit for it, but right now, the devil is being his work in Big Spring, Texas is completely destroyed. It'll take some time to run it all out, but before it's all said and done, Big Spring, Texas will be a marvel to other Texas towns of low crime, of bolstered economy, the problems that are in the rest of America will never set foot in this town because God has heard the prayers of his people and is answering them today. If you receive it, go ahead and clap your hands and give the Lord a mighty shout. Hallelujah! Everybody say Big Spring is blessed. Thank you, Jesus. Everybody say goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. It's every day. Every day you have a right to expect a blessing. Praise God. You must say, I expect a miracle. I serve a God of miracles. Say I am a miracle. God turn me around. And then once He gets you turn around, He's not looking for you to stand still. He'll put you on a path. And on that path is blessing. Blessings for your food, blessings for what you drink, blessings for what you wear, blessings for what you where you live, blessings for a spouse. You don't have to go on websites and try to find a spouse. God will give you every desire of your heart. That's what we're moving into right now in this service. Now that God's dealt with sickness and disease, lift your hands all over this place. Every sickness and every disease that you came in here with, it's not leaving the building with you. I said it's not leaving the building with you. It dies right now under the mighty hand of God in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. May I pray for this lady in the denim jacket? Where'd you come from? What town? Lift both hands, close both eyes. Thank you, Jesus. Put one hand on your belly. As you do the power of God flows under your hand. You're healed. Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. In Jesus' name. What a nice family. People with kids that young usually stay home. So you to bring them, what'll turn up is they'll they'll turn out knowing how to just be in church. They'll be healthy. You know, when you go to church, a church like this, now if you go to some churches, you'll die in like two or three years. Because they preach unbelief and it'll kill you. But if you go to church like this, you'll live a long time. Thanks for six amens. My son, attend unto my words, for they are life unto your flesh and radiant health unto your bones. When you go to church, you get healthy. Last time I went to a doctor, I was 17. I don't really plan on going back. I could have gone. At one point I was pretty sure I had double pneumonia, but I saw I didn't have uh health insurance. I was 31, and I looked how much it was going to be to go to the hospital, and I said, uh, then I looked how much it would be to go to Puerto Rico. So I told Adonis, I said, let's go fly to Puerto Rico. Let me just lay on the beach instead of laying in a hospital bed with some coughing guy next to me. Let me just lay on the beach. If I die, I'll die there. But I laid there and I didn't die. God healed me on that beach. Because I'm not, I don't know, I'm just not having that. I already made up my mind. I'm gonna be healthy. How many of you in here, by show of upraised hand, would allow a man to break into your house tonight and take whatever he wants and hurt whoever he wanted in the house? Let me see your hand. Okay. Well, take that same violent attitude that you have against that, and use it against sickness, use it against poverty, you can take authority over visible things, and you can take authority over invisible things, and I see every invisible arrow of the devil dying and dropping at your feet in Jesus' name. Hallelujah! I feel joy and victory in this place. Praise God. Let me see my scripture again, Psalm 23. He maketh me to lie down. How many of you have seen people fall over when they get prayed for? People say, Where's that in the Bible? It's right there. He maketh me to lie down, he leadeth me beside still waters. Verse 3. Everybody say still waters. How many of the devil's attacking? Okay, you go live somewhere else. Let me know where you live so I can live somewhere else. Because I'm not being attacked by the devil. I can't be attacked by the devil. I'm joined with Christ. What devil can attack Christ? What a joke. The devil can kiss my gospel grit. The devil's not over my head. The devil's under my feet. Hallelujah. He's under my feet tonight. He'll be under my feet in the morning. He'll be under my feet at lunch. He'll be under my feet when we come back tomorrow. And I'm not letting him up for air. We're gonna put our Texas boot on his skull and remind the devil that he's the devil and that Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Man, I like these. I like, I like you. I like you. I like the Big Spring, Texas people. I'm interested in you. You're you're good people. God is pleased with the people that are here tonight. God is helping people that are here tonight. He's gonna show himself as a very present help. Hallelujah! Let me see my scripture. He leads me beside still waters. I got peace. I have rest. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Four. Yea, though I walk through, everybody say walk through, not camp in. Everybody say, walk through, not camp in. I've just really been in the valley of the shadow of death. Then shuffle your feet and get out. You don't live there, you walk through. I'll fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. 25 uh 35. Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil. What's oil a type of in the old testament? What's oil a type of in the old testament? Holy Spirit. When he anoints your head with oil, your cup empties out. Ever since I gave my life to the Lord, I may not have much. Something's wrong with you. Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over. He doesn't fill your cup, your cup runs over. That's right. Where you can look at a lady and say, I'm paying for your house. I didn't even ask her how much the house was. Probably should have checked first. And I found out later it was $2,200 a month. So you do you think I'm gonna, do you think a year from then I'm gonna say, Man, I wish I had that $26,000 back. Our ministry's finished. If we'd had that $26,000, we could have made it. No. What you make happen for others, God'll make happen for you. God knew I didn't have enough money to build a church in any of the cities I pastor, uh uh, let alone all four. So he has you do what you can do at your level. I can't I can't build a $15 million church, but I can take care of her house. And then what you make happen for others, as you build that lady's house, God builds the thing that you need built. Your seed comes back to you, pressed down, shaken together, and running over to make room for more. I will cause men to give liberally. What preacher gets interested in, some 62-year-old lady, I don't even know what her name is, on getting her a house. Doesn't make any sense. And also doesn't make any sense for a major builder in Pittsburgh who doesn't even go to my church, who I had never met, to see them bashing us on the news and say, I'm gonna help that preacher get a church. And then tell every builder, you're gonna have to take a loss on this project. I don't like your quote. We only quoted you the cost of materials. Tough luck for you. It needs to come down even below that, or I won't use you to help me build any of the other buildings I'm doing in Pittsburgh. So to keep the contract with that builder, they all took a loss to build the temple of God. And we built that sucker for $68 a square foot in 2026. And the money all came in because God is filling your cup and making it overflow. You will never, I'm prophesying to you right now, you will never have the opportunity. Are you listening to me online? I'm prophesying to you right now, you'll never have the opportunity to pray for a need again. You won't have any needs, you're gonna have an overflowing cup, you're gonna get your eyes on other people, and God's gonna use you to meet the needs of a hurting world. If you receive it one more time tonight, take 15 good seconds. Clap your hands, all ye people. Shout unto God with a voice of triumph I'm coming out, I'm not in need, I shall not want. Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup. Now we're gonna practice for future church services, not with me for the rest of your life. I'm gonna say, How many of you have a need tonight? And when I say it, you respond, my cup runneth over. How many of you have a need tonight? Good, right on the first track. Feels good talking like that, doesn't it? The power of God travels on faith-filled words. Talk faith, talk the goodness of God. Talk about what the devil's doing. Make the devil have emergency meetings to talk about what you're doing. Can you say amen? Can you say it better? Amen. How many of you have a need tonight? Yeah, talk like that. You'll freak the next preacher out that's used to getting into needs mode. Are you ever wrong if you quote God? Let me see Psalm 23.1. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. Let me see NLT. The Lord is my shepherd. I'm gonna count to three and have you read it again. You sounded good. One, read that second part. I have all that I need. One, two, three. And then I don't have all I need. Okay, then don't have all you need then. But if you say, if you call those things that are not, that are the Bible, the Bible's not like a different way to think. The Bible is God's way that's higher than our way. And then when you speak it, it manifests in your life. We got a warehouse in Pittsburgh, 60,000 square feet, rezoned in less than six months, permitted in ten months, and had our first service in it in ten months. Everybody told us it'd be two and a half years if they rezoned. And we had $700,000 in the bank total when we started, and it was going to be $10 million, $8 million to build it. You can't build an $8 million building, and I didn't take a loan. And I checked the financial report for the first time when we finished. When we finished, we had three uh just under two million left in the account after buying it, after building everything. So we we built an eight million dollar building with 700,000 in the bank and had more left over when we finished than when we started. That's like five loaves and two fishes, and everybody eating until full, and there's baskets left over. Hallelujah. Because it's not poppycock, it's not talking nonsense, it's not religious gobbledygook, it's the power of God in print in the Bible. And when you speak it out of your mouth, bursts out of a heart belief, it causes what God said to come to pass. I tell you one more time tonight, I see every hanging promise coming into your lap tonight by the power of the Most High God. If you believe it, shout Amen like Texas Thunder. Say it out loud, the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. How many feel the Holy Ghost in here? Check out this kid in uh uh the Permian Basin. Walked into the meeting, he tried to come in the night before and had a seizure just before he got to the door. That's called the devil. And then he got out of the hospital and he was determined he came back. And he walked in and he got so stirred up, first time ever in church. He came up and said, Something's telling me that if you'll lay hands on me or pray with me, that I'll be healed of my seizures. Go ahead, watch. Every son that you have that's on drugs, that's bound by chains of darkness, that son is coming home now in Jesus' mighty name. Lift both hands to the Lord. Lift both hands to the Lord in the name of Jesus. Keep one hand up, put one hand on your belly. In the name of the Lord Jesus, God sets you free. You'll never be the same. In the name of Jesus, never been the church. Everybody laughed when I did that, and it's fine to laugh, but you know how I did it? He was having seizures. So I took the cloth that he wore on his head, put it on my anointed sweaty head, so that he'd have something to put back on his head when I finish. Is that all that or is there more? Play a little more. The devil is defeated. Jesus Christ is King of kings, hallelujah, and Lord of Lords, and he shall reign forever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and after all the others, he'll still be reigning. In Jesus' mighty name. In the name of Jesus, and all the damage those seizures did to your system, they are all reversed now. In Jesus' name. Just stay there and let the Lord touch you. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself in the presence of God. Let me see Philippians 1 6. I'll close with this. And I am certain. That God who began a good work within you will continue his work until it's finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Out of curiosity, let me see King James. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Say with me, he who began a good work in me will bring it to completion. So you know what that means? Everybody say, God's not finished with me yet. Everybody say the best is yet to come. Yeah, because when it says he'll complete the good work, first of all, it's a good work, not a bad work. Secondly, he never leads anybody backwards. You don't read anything in the Bible like someone came to Jesus, and after Jesus came to them, they soon got leprosy and their marriage dissolved. You don't read any verses like that. People improved when they came to God, they didn't get worse. And so Paul said, of all the good things that happened when I was in Philippi, the good work that I began in you is bringing it, is coming to completion. So that means, like I've been telling you, goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life. You should have an expectation of that, and you should have an expectation that where you are now is not going to be where you finish. That God, you ever notice when I pray for people that are sick, I don't say, Do you hear any better? Are you breathing any better? I actually don't care. I don't care if you get worse after I pray for you. Because we don't go by how we feel, we go by what the Bible says. And according to the word of God, it's impossible for the laying on of hands not to work. Mark chapter 6. And Jesus could do no mighty miracles there because of their unbelief, except to lay his hands on the sick and see them recover. The laying on of hands always works. Can you say amen? And so I have a confidence. I'm certain of that one thing, that the God that began a good work in you is bringing it to completion. The God that began, that's why I never got discouraged when I was preaching in Proctorsville, Vermont, and there were six people on Easter Sunday, because I'm not staying there. Well, that's a stop on the path to my destiny. That's why Paul was singing in prison. I'm not staying here. He that began a good work in me is bringing it to completion. God's not finished with me yet. I came to tell you everybody, and that made you feel like God's done with you, that you're in your 50s now, you're in your 60s, things didn't work out, you had a child before you were married, your life's over. I'm telling you differently. I'm telling you, God is gonna take you today. Today is the lowest that you'll ever be. You're going from glory to glory, victory to victory. Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Everybody that's in the valley of the shadow of death, congratulations, you're moving out tonight. This is not the hour of your defeat.
SPEAKER_01This is the hour of your breakthrough and blessing.
SPEAKER_02That kid got healed of seizures, and you know what he did after he got out of that service. He went straight to his brother's hospital room. His brother was in intensive care because he got stabbed in the neck. He works for one of the drug cartels. Well, at least he's working, amen. He's not sitting around collecting other people's paychecks, he's moving product. Can you say amen? Hey, you don't have to amen that. That's just how I feel. At least he's working. So he got stabbed in the neck. He doesn't go to church either. His brother came and got him and said, Hey, I'm gonna sign you. Think of this. He didn't go to church for the first time, gets healed, goes to his brother in the hospital, and says, I'm gonna sign you out of the hospital. And then I'm gonna take you to church with me tomorrow. God healed my seizures and God'll change your life. So that night, uh, the way I found out was when I preached, I gave the altar call, and this guy's at the altar, and he just didn't look like a church guy. He had uh tattoos up his neck and up the side of his face. And so, out of curiosity, I just wondered, you know, where did you hear about this meeting and what made you decide to come? He said, Um, my brother said, You prayed for him last night. You wore his hat. And he's had seizures our whole life. And he didn't have any seizures today. He said, He's better. And so I came and I wanted to receive Jesus Christ. And I laid hands on him, he received the Holy Ghost. Both brothers gave me a hug. I want to tell you something. I'm not saying this to be mean, I'm certainly not saying it to brag at all. But that's why people need sabbaticals and stuff. If you'll let the Holy Ghost flow in your meetings, you leave every meeting super happy. Because God does awesome stuff all the time. I mean, you know that, and then even if you don't see it in that meeting, like I didn't know that happened to that 71 year old lady, but then the pastor sends me the video, so I came into the service happy. It's a joy to serve the Lord. So you would just go around and kick the devil in his no-nose every day. Can you say amen? Instead of hoping he doesn't attack you. You know what? I might show this in church, but then I think we'd get taken off of YouTube because he can't show movies. There's a mafia movie, I can't remember which one it is. But there's these guys making trouble in a mafia bar. They're from out of town. It's an Italian bar in Brooklyn. And the guy that's in, they don't know it's a mafia bar. So these guys are being rowdy and stuff. And the owner comes out who's in the mafia and goes, You guys have to leave. And they they they cuss at him and give him the middle finger. And then he goes over to the door and locks the door. And he goes, now you can't leave. And then other guys come out of the back and beat him into a coma. So I'm not saying that's the best movie to show in church. We'll save it for Easter. Maybe on Mother's Day. But I like that mentality with the devil. If those protesters from Minnesota walked into my church in Pittsburgh, I wouldn't pray in tongues. I'd wait till they all got in. I'd have Jeff have one of his guys lock the doors and we'd turn the cameras off and have some fun. I'm not ducking the devil. I'm going to look for where he still thinks he has his shop set up and blow his hind in and out. You're going to go on a mission out of this church service. You're not going to try to not get sick. You're going to heal the sick. You're not going to try to not get oppressed by the devil. You're going to deliver those who are oppressed of the devil. You're here to cast out devils. You're here to set prisoners free. Congratulations in advance. Hallelujah. Let's take thirty seconds and give God the highest praise.
SPEAKER_01The devil's defeated. The devil's broke. Praise God.
SPEAKER_02Praise God. Like I woke up to an article this morning that in the city where I pastor Pittsburgh, they might have to cancel Gay Pride Month because they don't have enough money. That's right. But I got plenty of money. Because I'm not serving some broke loser named Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies. Congratulations, you're king of the dunghill. I'm serving King of Kings. I'm serving Lord of Lords. I'm serving El Shaddai. I'm serving Jehovah Jirah. I'm serving Jehovah Rapha. The Lord is my victory. The Lord is my helper. The Lord is my peace. The Lord is my God. I cannot be defeated. I will not give up and quit. You're not giving up and work in me. It's bringing it to complete my tell you. You're not going down. You're going up.
SPEAKER_03Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_02Hallelujah. Santo, Santo, Santo. May I pray for this lady? Young lady in the last row of the first section. You uh silverish shirt. Just a bit out of the side. If you don't mind, I won't do anything strange. Thank you, Jesus. Just lift your hands right there, close both eyes. Now, if I'm the first you speak English English? If I'm the first one telling you this, and you can just forget everything I said. But I believe, A, somebody consecrated you to the Lord when you were a little baby and didn't have any say in the matter. And then B, you've taken steps to consecrate yourself to the Lord. Some things that all your friends were going to do or invited you to, and that weren't even sinful things. You just didn't feel to go. You'd stay home a lot, that kind of stuff. Because you felt to set yourself apart like Samuel to God. And tonight, the hand of the Lord comes upon you to do the work of the Lord. You will be a mighty preacher. And a lot of people don't like women preachers, but tough luck for them because you're going to be a mighty woman preacher. In Jesus' name. Tonight, the unction to preach comes upon you. When they have you open in prayer or do anything, talking a ladies' Bible study, the atmosphere will change when you start speaking. Signs that there it is. It goes right into your spirit. Praise God. Set apart for the work of the Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Praise God. Hallelujah. Let me pray for this guy in the nice sport coat. Don't marry an idiot. Lift both hands, close both eyes. Thank you, Jesus. You know how to make sure you don't marry an idiot? Watch Judge Judy and just study what everybody's eyes look like. And anytime you see those kind of eyes on somebody, don't marry them. Amen.
unknownThank you, Lord.
SPEAKER_02Thank you, Jesus. You mind if I pray for you with a blue t-shirt on? Just step right out. Put one hand on your mouth, lift the other one to the Lord. There's like one more thing that remained undone, and tonight the Lord takes it from you so you can serve him like you know you should. In Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Go ahead and sing that. Whatever here, here you got every hand lifted if you would.
SPEAKER_07For the Lord is here.
SPEAKER_02Give me one second, Sister Clear. What's your name? Junior? You get promoted today. Whoever's over you at work is gonna be removed somehow. I'm not saying it'll be bad, but they're gonna leave. And then God's gonna put his hand on you tonight, and you're gonna get promoted like Joseph. It's gonna come with better pay and whatever else you and your family are believing for. The Lord's already made a plan to give it to you. In Jesus' name. One second, says mind if I pray for you? Come right out. Put your hands on your eyes. Any spots in the vision, glaucoma, what age-related macular degeneration, blindness and all its forms, come out in Jesus' name. Can I pray for this guy? In the power of God's on you, bro. No, in the pattern shirt. May I pray for you? Put your hands on your uh chest and your stomach. In the name of Jesus. Underneath your hands, past the nail scarred, hand in Jesus. In Jesus' name. Amen. Nice to see you again. I command your movement to return to you on this side of your body. You felt attack that came on our central nervous system. Command it to reverse now. In Jesus' name. Everybody say this with me. Say all meetings are great. See, if some of you told me you came to see me at the Fort Worth Convention Center, but you can't do this at that meeting because there's too many people. You can't just walk around the crowd and call people out one by one. But then meetings like this, you can take more time with people. I like all of them. I like you. I like Big Spring, Texas, is a great place. You'll never touch that stuff again. Now think of this. Think of how much money that's gonna save you. So even then, you're gonna start prospering because you can put that money into other things. Like investments. The Lord heard you. I feel like you were trying to stop doing something, and you said, God, I need help. So this is the help. And we said, God's helping me tonight. Every time you need help, just say thank you, Lord, that you're my helper. Praise God. I didn't care that I only had $700,000 in the bank when we needed to build that church. I'm not paying for it anyway. It's not my church, it's Jesus' church. Amen. You know, one guy said to me, he said, Where are you gonna get the money to build that? I said, It's not important to me. Not my problem. Can you say amen? But say, God supplies all my needs according to his riches and glory. Through Christ Jesus, let me pray for you. I'm gonna grab both of your hands, and when I do, the same spirit that raised Christ Jesus, put that on the screen so people can see it. They don't think I'm just like saying stuff. Romans 8 13. If that same spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the effect it'll have is it will quicken your mortal body. 11. Sorry, 811. If the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit. That's what's happened. All these videos I played tonight, that lady's lungs got quickened, that lady's knee got quickened. The Holy Ghost that raised Jesus' dead body up from the grave. If that spirit tells you're not dead. So if that's if the Holy Ghost carries the capacity to raise somebody from the dead, how much more you're not even dead. They just sended me prayer requests from TV and YouTube. If you want to get in on this prayer, text seven five seven six seven. And if you're not in this county, I'll pray for you. If you're in this county, then you should get here tomorrow night because I'm not praying for you. Go ahead, Sister Clarita. Every hand lifted, please.
SPEAKER_07She says now we're praising now we need his presence unholy.
unknownYes, we're sending.
SPEAKER_07Oh yes, we are jail. Jesus now.
SPEAKER_02Let me pray for this lady in the sweater and this lady in the military green colored jacket. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Glad you came tonight. God bless you. Pray for you first. One hand on your belly, one hand on your heart. God's helping you right now. You're gonna You're gonna say I'm leaving here tonight carrying the anointing. You can carry something on you. My dad and I finished preaching. I was like 20 20, I think. And we finished meetings at night, and in the morning we had to leave early. We went to Starbucks at like 6:30. It was in Massachusetts. And the person that was waiting on everybody, you know how Starbucks people look, most of them. We're just standing there. I'm like tired. That's why I'm there to get coffee. I hadn't said one word. We weren't talking, we weren't, we didn't have like Christian witness wear on. The lady waits on the one person, then when we walk up, she goes, I'm not waiting on you, either of you, and stormed to the back. I was like, Oh, I guess whatever was on us last night didn't wear off yet. Yeah. That demon refused to make us coffee. Can you believe it? Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. May I pray for you in the strap shirt? Yeah. I'll meet you over on that side. I think in a little bit I'll have prayed for almost everybody. Nice to meet you. Put one hand on your lower belly, and then I want to take your other hand. Just one hand on your belly, and let me see your right hand. Underneath that hand, the Lord does several surgeries and miracles on your lower organs. In Jesus' name. Pray for this lady in the t-shirt with all the writing on it. Nice to meet you. Lift both your hands to the Lord. Now, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. You can just call me a false prophet, but I'm not even a true prophet, I'm just a pastor. But if somebody had to have you write down three good things that have happened in the last 10 years, it'd be hard to think of three. Because everybody was supposed to help you, didn't help you pretty much. And things that were supposed to work out didn't work out. But tonight that comes to an end. And God's gonna start helping you. I'll just say it like this: life won't be hard anymore. His yoke is easy, and his burden is light. That's it. Let me see your hands. This is called the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I also tell you one thing: there's one thing in your blood that Jesus is going to take out, and your blood's gonna be completely clean. In Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Pretty great people here tonight. Easy to preach. I pray for this lady in the denim uh top. You know I have to call people out by their clothes or how they look. There's an evangelist named Freddie Clark. He's got, you know who he is? He's gotta be 85 by now. He's a real prophet. And um most churches he goes to, he'll call out everybody by first name. Every church. So I'm gonna have him lay hands on me, so you don't have to keep describing women's clothing. You know what's funny? Let me tell you something funny about that guy. He doesn't have a TV. So during COVID, he kept putting his 10 up and preaching because he didn't know COVID was going on. And he called my uncle and said, I've been having the strangest thing happen in my meetings. The police keep coming and they're wearing doctors' masks. And they asked me, What are you doing? I said, What does it look like I'm doing? I'm having a revival meeting. He said they just would leave the tent confused. Praise God. This is God's power flowing into your spirit and make you incredibly strong on your insides. Whatever life throws at you, you'll easily be able to overcome it. Sometimes by God giving you a plan of wisdom, and sometimes by just lowering your shoulder and driving through it. Jesus. Of course, there's no place to go anyway. Praise God. I don't know why people are so focused on demons when you have angels. You know, let me just say throw one more thing and I'll leave you alone. Demons are very weak. I had somebody tell me one time, oh, you're going to Africa, you're gonna find the demons are much stronger there. I've actually found them to be equally pathetic in every nation of the world. When they go to leave somebody, they always make a sound like this.
unknownAh!
SPEAKER_02Strong things don't talk like that. If I'd have made that sound when I was a boy, my dad would have paddled me. Demons are defeated. Can you say amen? Everybody say, I've got angels working on my behalf, protecting me, helping me. I pray for my best friend in the whole world there from Fort Worth. She's our cello player and it works with the kids' ministry. She's a great lady. You should shake your hand on the way out. She's one of the best people I've met in all my travels. With your hands lifted, a fresh anointing is coming on you today. You're already a great soul winner, but you're gonna become an extremely great soul winner. You'll become one of the mightiest ministers that ever proceeded from your home. In the history of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ from tonight. In Jesus' name. Let me pray for this lady in the white, and then are you with her? Let me pray for both of you. I'll be done shortly. I won't keep here all night. That Xbox in my hotel is calling my name. Lift both your hands, close both eyes. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Did you drive in from kind of far? You live here local? Thank you for coming. Whatever you came here expecting to receive from the Lord. Whatever you talked about while you were getting ready for church and driving over, the Lord's already given it to you. There will be a turnaround. The last two-thirds of this year will be a great. The last two-thirds of this year. I know in my spirit, you've already done very well in life, but you're about to do even better. The last two-thirds of this year will be great. In Jesus' name. Can I pray for from you all the way down? Can I pray for all five of you at once? There's room here. If you come out, just stand shoulder to shoulder. I won't do anything weird. We're not gonna pass around snakes. That's on Thursday night. Tell you what, I'd rather be part of a snake handling service than a foot washing service. I'll give you that. Any day of the week. Lift both your hands? God's helping you. You, like I told that lady, you also are gonna be a great worker in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Similar to somebody else I prayed for this week, God's gonna help you. There's like one more thing you need the Lord to do for you where you'll feel like you're completely free from your past. And tonight, the Lord untangles that from you. Jesus. Yes, you're free. That's gone. Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. I pray for this guy in the back. Your lower lips like above your upper lip. Because you're close to crying. Power of God's on you. Yep. Power of God's on you, brother. Lift both hands, close both eyes. God's hands on you. From tonight, it'll be easy to live for the Lord. Things other people do, you won't even have a desire to do it. In Jesus' name. God's protected you. He's gonna continue to protect you. He's opening a door for you that nobody can shut. In Jesus' name. Whoever prayed for you that was in your family, older person, every prayer they've prayed for you, the Lord's answering it tonight. In Jesus' name. Praise the Lord. Everybody shout, praise the Lord. Every head bowed, every eye closed. There really is a heaven. There really is a hell. And every person will spend their eternity in one of those two places. The Bible says before Jesus comes back, there'll be a great falling away. My whole mom's side of the family was Catholic. And I got no problems with Catholics. They're great people. But the new leadership in the Catholic Church, some of the stuff they're saying, is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. The merging of the one world religion. You're seeing it happen right now. And it's amazing when you watch what people write online that people that go to church every Sunday or every Saturday night or Saturday afternoon, they don't even know how to go to heaven. How do you go to heaven? There'll be people that went to church every Sunday that go to hell for an eternity. Billy Sunday, one of the greatest evangelists in America ever had, said going to church no more makes you a Christian than going to a garage makes you an automobile. Before you need a church, you need a change that only Jesus, you need to know Christ. Not join a church. You must be born again. You must be born again. If you're here and you've never given your life to Jesus Christ, or you once did, but you fell away. In the Song of Solomon, it says, it's the little foxes that spoil the vine. Some people have one area of their life they've never fully surrendered to God. And the devil uses that as just you can't ever live for the Lord. As soon as you start making some progress, he just gives a little yank on that rope and back you go. But tonight, you're gonna get those sins under the blood of Jesus Christ. And the old man's gonna die, and a new man's gonna come to life, and you're gonna know what it means to be born again. You must be born again. You need to know Jesus Christ. If you're here, I want to ask you have you ever publicly stood and made a decision to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior? If not, I'm gonna pray with you. You can do that tonight. And then also, if you once did that, but you fell away. Something terrible happened. Somebody died unexpectedly, and the devil used that to destroy your faith, get you out of church. People go through hard times and they take a break from the house of God when it's the he should be there more. The devil's main goal to stick it to God is to get you to go to hell with him. Because the thing God wants most, the devil can't attack God, but he can deprive him of what he wants most, which is you. What profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul? Jesus said, You, you, your soul is more than the combined value of the entire world. I want the privilege to pray with you tonight. If you've never received Jesus Christ, or you once did and you fell away, and you want to pray tonight, you feel this sweet anointing, you take it home with you. Same Holy Spirit, stop fighting all the time and have an inner turmoil and fear and panic and all the junk that's in the world. Instead of getting prayer for nine things, just get right with God. And then the righteousness of God starts to overwhelm all the curse. It starts with this prayer. If you say, Jonathan, when you pray tonight, I want you to pray with me. I want Jesus to heal me from the inside out and make me new. Quickly put your hand up and wave it at me, and we're gonna pray together in Jesus' name. I see your hand. I see your hand. I see your hand. Who else? If God's dealing with you, I see you. Who else? Pray, I see you very quickly. Everyone that lifted a hand, come out of your seat. Join me here at the altar. We're gonna pray together. In Jesus' name. Those that are more bold come first, and those that are more shy. Everyone that lifted a hand, come out of your seat and join me at the altar.
SPEAKER_03Yes, yes, oh yes, yes, oh keep popping, keep encouraging.
SPEAKER_07Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord. Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord. Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord, amen. Yes, more.
SPEAKER_01Awesome, awesome. Praise God.
SPEAKER_07Yes, Lord.
SPEAKER_02Anyone else before we pray? I'm very happy. Very happy. You made my night. Lift both hands to the Lord. Say this nice and loud from your heart. Heavenly Father, I've come forward tonight to give you my life. Forgive me of all my sins. Wash me in your blood. I repent. I turn my back on evil. I believe in my heart, you raise Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth, Jesus is Lord and my Savior. Right now, I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved.
unknownI am forgiven.
SPEAKER_02I am clean. In Jesus' name.
unknownAmen.
