The name of the Lord is worthy. For those of you that's watching all around the world, we just want to say thank you for the great privilege that you have afforded us to be able to come right to where you are. And I trust and pray. I need you to get the word of God out. Get it out, get it out, and I want you to follow me according to Scripture and the Word of God. You know, today, as I uh we travel and as we hear people all over, people are getting rid of the Word of God. Say that again. People are getting rid of the Word of God. And one of the things that you're going to have to make sure you watch is that as we develop a relationship with AI, that AI don't give you a word that is against the word of God. AI has its own and creating its own word of God, and you're going to have to understand that AI is not God, and it's not the word of God. So no matter how powerful it is or it will become, you need to put your total and complete trust in God, lean not to your own understanding, and you need to recognize that AI is a tool, but it's not God. And you need to make sure that when you go to AI, the AI is back, that it is sharing with you the word of God and not the word of those that created AI. You need to recognize and realize that those who created AI will have their own bias. I'll say it again, they will have their own biases because they're human. So therefore, you need to study to show yourself approved. That's what the word of God tells you. Study to show yourself approved. So as you're moving forward, understand it is not knowledge that will lead us to victory, it is truth. Knowledge is man-made. AI is knowledge. AI is what man has made, and what men has made. And when I use the term man, I mean men, mankind. And you need to recognize and realize that we're grateful for the knowledge, but understand the revelation is what we want. The last book in the word of God is called Revelation. What God wanted you to understand, and what he wanted you to know is that when Jesus left us, he left us and he said that he was going to return, but he also wanted you to know that he was going to leave a comforter. And the comforter in the book of John is the Holy Spirit. And the purpose of the Holy Spirit is to lead you and to guide you into something called the truth. And the truth is the word of God. So you need to understand that the Holy Spirit is going to lead you and guide you into all truth, not AI. AI cannot lead you into all truth because it is a man-made system. And it is going to challenge the word of God. And it's going to come to a place where it challenged God itself. And I want you to know and to recognize that AI is no worse than Pharaoh, no worse than Nebuchadnezzar, no worse than Caesar, no worse than all of the rulers who thought that they had the power to change all of mankind. But God being the God that He is, and remember this in the book of Revelation, it talks about kings and kingdoms, and that God is greater than all of the kings and all of the kingdoms that establish. And so AI is going to create its own kingdom and it's going to be its own king. Can you imagine? I want to get you ready for it. Can you imagine? We just sent some people around the dark side of the moon, and the next settlement will be on the moon. And from the moon will be on Mars. So you need to recognize and realize that you and I may not be around when it takes place, but it's going to take place. Now may I say this to you: God is in charge over the heavens and the earth. I want you to know the moon, the stars, and the sun is a part of the heavens. And God is in charge of the heavens because He created Saturn, He created Mars, He created the Earth. I want you to understand that the earth is inside of the heavens. And I know you don't understand that, and you don't know that simply because you don't have the understanding that God has afforded you and you don't study, but you need to understand that the earth, like the moon and the stars, are part of the heavens. The Bible tells us that there are heavens of heavens. So that tells me that there's more than one heaven. In Sunday school, the Sunday school teacher taught me, the Sunday school teacher taught me that there was a heaven. Well, I'm not disrespecting my Sunday school teaching. They gave me the instructions and the enlightenment that they had at the time. So when I read the word of God and I found out that there was a heavens of heavens, I'm like, a heaven of heavens, a heaven of heavens, I had to scratch my head and say, wait a minute, nobody has ever told me about the heavens. I was only told that there was a heaven. But I understand that Paul went to the third heaven, and the great prophet, uh Enoch went to the seventh or the tenth heaven. So there are different levels of heaven that you don't understand simply because you are afraid and you live in fear and you love to live in darkness and ignorance. So it is incumbent upon us to share and to enlighten you, and that is my goal. Not to upset you or make you mad, but to get you to study to show yourself approved. I'm not here to argue with you because I'm not going to do that, but I'm here to enlighten you and not trust and pray that that is what we're doing every time we get the opportunity to meet. It's my responsibility to get you to a place where you go study to show yourself approved, a workman that need not be ashamed. You need to start working on studying. Everybody say studying. And the problem with studying is it takes discipline, it takes time. Those who are not disciplined and those who are lazy, they're not going to spend the necessary time to study because we'd rather read the newspaper or uh or read a book than to study the word. See, when you read the newspaper, you can just read and keep moving. But when you study, one revelation will move you into another revelation, which will move you into another revelation, which will move you into another revelation, which will put together a whole picture. And that's the reason why we don't understand, because we do not have the revelation of the word of God. We just read the word of God. And that is the reason why God gave you the first book, which is the beginning called Genesis, and he gave you the last book called Revelation, which means he wants you to be enlightened with an understanding. And for many years, when I first got saved, people didn't read the book of Revelation because they were afraid of it, and they were afraid of the beast, the booger man, and all of the existence of heaven. That is the reason why God will not show himself to you, because if he did, you probably pass out, or you'd probably die on the spot. Anybody listening? Many of the times in scriptures we see when the angels of the Lord showed up, the first things they had to say was, What? Fear not. So if the angels put fear in your heart, just imagine what God would do before he would show up in your bedroom, lightning and thundering and all of the uh the things and the excitement that comes along with God. Can you imagine the creature that comes with God, which is the cherubim that would come with God and he has a head with four faces on it and eyes all over it? If he woke you up in the morning, what would you do? You would leave out of that bedroom through the brick walls, and you would never go back to that house, and you would call everybody in the neighborhood and tell them to pray for you because the devil is after you. Can I get a half a witness up in here? You see, you're not ready for revelation until you start studying revelation. You take the word of God and you do not study it according to revelation. You just study it according to knowledge, and you're not going to understand the magnificence of this book called The Word of God and all of the complexities that God Almighty has placed in Him for you to dig out and to go in and to study to show yourself approved. What is going to happen is the Spirit of God is going to enlighten you as you begin to study. May I say that again? What is going to happen? Revelation means you need to be enlightened. And that is the reason why God gave us the last book called Revelation, and He gave us all kinds of great truths in the book of Revelation that He wanted you to understand and to know. But instead of you understanding and knowing, and there's a blessing if you read the book of Revelation. No other uh uh verse uh book in the scriptures tells you that it will leave you with a blessing if you read it. I've heard when I first got saved that people that read the book of Revelation went crazy. Well, you won't go crazy, you'll be enlightened. Hello, somebody. And because of the ignorant level of most saints, especially those who first get saved, they are off spooked. They got their own traditions and their own philosophies and their own whatever they have. Therefore, when you come up against it, they don't want to hear what you have to say. So you need to understand types and shadows, but you'll never understand types and shadows only in the book of Revelation. You have to go all the way to the book of Genesis through Revelation to understand what types and shadows are all about and why God did it the way he did it. And you will find out when you complete it, you will see the magnificent picture that God has given us in what he called the word of God. Everybody say the word of God. So you call it the Bible, God calls it his word of scripture. And I don't know why you call the word of God Bible, but you ought to call it what God's word calls it. Scripture. Scripture, the word of the Lord. You see, the power is in the word of the Lord, not so much in the Bible. People take the Bible and throw it on the side. But those who understand scripture and know that is the word of God, they reverence it and they honor it. There is a shortage of reveracing the word. There's a shortage of reverence reveracing the scriptures. May I say something to you? You have what you believe, and that's okay with me. But when I give you the word of God, I'm not gonna fight you. You want to fight? Fight with God and His Word. And I'll tell you in the beginning, you're going to lose that battle because the word is truth. I will tell you that there are people today, a lot of men of God today, who are divorcing their wives. But scripture tells us that God hates a divorce. And God allowed uh told Moses to let those little hard-hearted people who don't believe in God's word to uh to go ahead and divorce their wives to put them away. But God said this, your heart is hard and you're no good and you're corrupt. That's the reason why I have to judge you. Uh, I can't get no help. Some people say, Oh, it's okay for me to get married, and they try to find Matthew chapter, I think, 19 with the and throw in the cause of fornication, which they don't understand that. But God hates something. If God hates it, who else should hate it? If God hates it, who else should hate it? And what God says, and every time he brings up the subject of divorce, almost every time he says, just go back to what God's original intent was: one man, one woman. And here's what God says on top of that. He says, I joined you together. I joined you together through a process called marriage. Not sleeping together, not whoring around, not going from one woman or man from one person to the next. God says the only reason why I created the woman and the man is for them to give me a righteous and a holy nation. What has happened in the last 50 years of my life, and I know it has always been, we have more bastards born in our culture, in our society, and that is the reason why we are faced with so many different situations and circumstances, because we have all these bastards being born, and uh and it's causing a breakdown in something called the family, and especially in the breakdown in righteous families and righteous children and righteousness. And that is the reason why when men say God has called them, they say God has called them, but they don't have a father in their lives, and they've never had a male figure in their lives, and they stand up behind this pulpit, not understanding that there must be a covering, there must be somebody over them that they can go to to help them. You cannot stand as a man of God without a covering. May I say that to you again? You cannot stand as a man of God without a covering, because the enemy is going to come up against you, and if you try to fight him with your ignorance and your young ability, you will lose many battles. But if you had a covering, someone who has gone through the process and who understand what's going on, that's the reason why God gave apostles and prophets first, and that's why God says call the elders, because these are people who have gone through processes and have already gone through what you're going through, can give you the wisdom and the knowledge and the understanding of the word of God. If you try to go from salvation all the way to death by yourself, you're going to fail miserably and you're not going to enjoy the wonderfulness of being saved. There are too many people trying to live a life of salvation by themselves. They don't want anybody to tell them what to do. And they resent the fact that they will have somebody to tell them what to do. They don't want a covering, they don't want a father because there is a moral breakdown in the family structure and in the place called the church where people are doing what they want. But no. People are doing what's right in their own eyesight. Can you imagine if what your righteousness is, and if my righteousness is different from your righteousness, I wonder who's right. How about if we just go to the word of God and see what God's word says, and God that needs you to help him, just speak the word only. Look at somebody and say, speak the word only. When you stand behind this podium as a man of God, you need to recognize and realize that God is requiring you to speak his word only, not your opinion, not what you read out of a book, but to speak the word only. But if you don't study, if you don't dig into it, you are not going to find out what God is saying and you're not going to understand what he meant. The problem is you are going to everybody but to God. You're going to everybody but the word of God. And how are you going to be successful as a child of God when you don't study the word of God? You cannot be a man of God who doesn't study the word of God and you're trying to minister on the behalf of God, it's not going to work. You're not going to be successful. I often say, having an apostolic authority that God Almighty has given me, if you started a church today within 30 days, you'll have more members from the demonic influence than you have from God. Somebody better shout with me, and you will find yourself in so much trouble because uh a great percentage of the first people that come to the house of God are coming to destroy you. But you call them brothers and sisters. And it is amazing, Mr. Lee, how we give the right hand of fellowship to the enemies of the faith. And not only do we give them the right hand of fellowship, but we also empower them over the people of God. And so now you don't have to worry about the devil showing up. You have already infiltrated your own house. And now you have a house of madness and sadness and problems and situations and circumstances, and nothing's going to work because you have sent the enemy in. You have allowed the wolf with the sheep clothing to come in and to ravish the sheep. I wish I knew what I was talking about. And that is the reason why there are so many men of God, or supposedly men of God, who are giving up in the gospel simply because you don't understand when God calls you, his calling is his ability, his enabling. So therefore, if you give up and you give in, maybe you were not called. Or maybe the hand of God is upon you, like John Mark, and you want to go out there and be with Paul and Barnabas, but it may not necessarily be your time. You may need to study to show yourself approved and be under the hand of God and allow the hand of God to mold you and to shape you so that when you do go out, you go out to stay out, not to come back. It's like having your children get married. You don't want to see your daughter come back home. You want her to find her, you want a man to find your child and keep her. You don't want her to leave you one and come back five or six or seven, eight, or nine, or ten. Hello, somebody. And now they're all running up and down your house and breaking all the heirlooms that you've had and causing you a lot of heartache. I wish I was talking to somebody out there. You need to recognize and realize that God Almighty called you with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. And scripture says if you don't have that, you can ask of God who gave liberally and he will operate it not. But the problem is we're not asking God. We just assume that we know. You cannot preach with knowledge. You cannot preach with knowledge because knowledge is the enemy of God. Study to show yourself approved. Knowledge is the enemy of God. Knowledge will lead you away from God. The wisdom and the knowledge and the understanding of God's word will lead you to God. Many of us are telling the people of God, it's okay to be a fornicator, it's okay to be an adulterer, it's okay to be a homosexual, it's okay to be a lesbian, it's okay to do the sins that God says not to do. Well, I want you to know that's the knowledge and the experience that you have suffered through. But I want you to understand that that is not the mind of God and the will of God, and the word of God comes directly against that understanding. So we find ourselves today in this society called America, where we are moving away from God as opposed to God. You cannot move towards God without his word. And God not only filled you with the Holy Spirit, which will abide with you forever, he also gave you his word. And if you've studied the word and find the mind of God on any subject, you need to know God's word. And listen, when you find the answer in the word of God, you have to stick with the answer that's in the word, not your culture or your opinion. Because your opinion and your traditions and your culture will lead you away. And we've we're finding that so many saints are falling away simply because they are being led away. You're not falling away because you decided one day you want to quit. You're being led away by your own ignorance and misunderstanding. So I trust and pray that you will get to a place where you understand that the word of God is the most important thing that you have in the earth realm. And if you take the word of God and you study it, God made sure that he gave you his word. He called it the wisdom and the mind of God. Now, if you study it, you'll see what God is all about and you'll get an understanding. Once you understand who God is, he's not hard, he's not somebody with a stick ready to beat you up. He's a loving, kind God, and he hates sin. Everybody say God hates sin. Say it again. God hates sin. God does not enjoy when his children go out there and play around with sin. God hates sin and therefore you're going to get in trouble if you're trying to have a relationship with God and you think you could do what you want to do. Did you get that? You cannot go around saying, I love God, and you're not changing, you don't change. You cannot continue in sin. Shall we? Romans chapter 5, I believe, shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? And the scripture says, God forbid. Everybody say, God forbid. So God forbids, which actually means God does not want you to continue in sin. So you can't continue in sin. But the problem is that, excuse me, is this. We have gotten so comfortable, Minister Lee, with sinning, we just think it's okay. Can I get a half a witness? Let me say that again. We've gotten so comfortable with sin, we just think it's okay. But I want you to know that it's not okay. And God is looking for a small group of people who will dare to believe his word and stand on the promises of God. And if all of us saints all around the world will come together, we're still going to be a small group of people because there's over 8 billion people they they are telling us on the planet. And if a hundred million people are saints, that's still a small amount of people compared to the amount of people today. My God, you need to recognize and realize that God is looking for you. He's looking for you, He's called you, His hands is upon you, He has anointed you to operate in the earth realm as an instrument of righteousness. Everybody say instrument of righteousness. Say it again. So I trust and pray that you will allow God's will to be done in your life. So at this particular moment, those of you that's watching from all around the world, would you lift up your hearts to God? Would you lift up your hearts to God and allow Him to come inside of you and allow Him to lead you and to guide you into truth? So, Father, we thank you this day, dear God, that you are raising up true believers that will do what you're saying. That these are trying times. It is not gonna take church people, it is gonna take the men and the women of God that God's hand is upon, who's gonna study to show themselves approved, and they're gonna allow the word of God to be birthed in them. So we lift up our hearts and we accept your will. And as it is said in the word, thy will be done and thy kingdom come inside of me. In the book of John, chapter 14. In the book of John, chapter 14, we're gonna study uh a little here, and we're gonna look at what John 14, verse 11 says. We got a problem in Jesus' time. Jesus was facing a problem, Minister Lee. And the problem was many of the people who was Jewish, many of the people who were supposed to be coveted people, were not believing God. What was the problem of Jesus' day? The people of God was not believing God. What's the problem in the church world today? Many of the church people don't believe God. I have heard over the almost 60 years I've been saved. People say all the time, they started saying when they when they hear a message or hear a voice speaking to them, they start off saying, The Lord spoke to me. Within a month later, I thought you said God said. When Moses walks on God, he walks up to God, he saw the bush burning and it wasn't being consumed. First question Moses asked God was this Who are you? I need to know who you are because guess what? I've been in the Egyptian culture and we have never seen a bush burn. Not only did the bush burn, we've never seen a bush burn and talk. Somebody help me here. Moses walked on the bush that was talking and burning at the same time. And all of the different gods that the Egyptian culture had, Moses never seen a God like that. There are all kinds of gods. Maybe some of you have your own personal God. But let me say this to you: when Moses walked under God, the first thing God spoke to Moses says, Take off your shoes, because the ground you're on now is holy ground. You need to recognize and realize that God is now going to introduce himself to a man who came up into a culture that knew absolutely nothing about God, but he knew something about the sun God, he knew something about the moon God, he knew something about every other God, but he did not know anything about the Lord God. And when it was all said in God, when God defined himself to Moses, he said, This is what I want you to do. I want you to go back and tell your people that you met the I am. And those three words are so I am, two words are so powerful. It describes God in a powerful way. I am whatever you need me to be. Oh my God. Somebody help me here. I want to take you down a road tonight to get you to understand if you're going to believe in a God, you're going to have to meet the I am of Him. You're going to have to know that He is able to give you water out of a rock. You're going to have to understand that He is able to feed you with a food, substance that you never met before. You're going to have to understand that when you're walking in the heat of the day, He will be the AC that you need. And when you're walking in the cold of the night, that he'll be the heater that you need. You need to understand that your shoes will not wear out. You need to understand that your clothes will not get old. You need to understand that he will bless you abundantly and you will have every single thing that you need. But unless you understand the I am of God, you won't understand why he is God. You won't understand when there's a time he tells you that I need you to go and fight the Malachites. The Malachites were a group of people who knew how to fight. But he sends Joshua ministerly to go fight a group of people who were warriors. And he didn't teach Joshua how to fight because Joshua didn't need to know how to fight. He just needed Moses' hands to go up. How many of you have ever seen anybody get their hands raised up and win a battle? Most of us, we'll talk about being in a war today. They sent a lot of missiles overseas. And I don't want to get into that, but let me say something to you. If that was Joshua today, not one of those with missiles would have hit the children of God because the I am would have been there to protect them. He would have become their protector. Somebody help me up in here. You need to recognize and realize when you are serving the I am, no matter what he tells you to do, no matter what your assignment is, the I am will see you through. You don't have to lie and say he told you to do something. He will not only tell you to do something, he will be the I am to make sure that what he has said for you to do, he had to tell Moses, I'm sending you to be the deliverer, but I'm going to be the I am deliverer that I use you to become. And Moses went against the most powerful nation in the world. And guess what? He won. So much so that not one uh bore an arrow, not one uh sword was strong. Moses won by saying, I have come because the I am that you don't know anything about have sent me. Somebody help me here. And you need to understand when the I am send you, he is sending you with all your needs already met before. He has already won the battle for you. You need to recognize that when I am has sent you to do something, that you understand that if you're going on the behalf of I am, you're not going along. You need to recognize and realize that he'll never leave you, nor will he forsake you. But the problem is today is we don't understand who I am is. But we want to go and do something called the will of God. But how can we do the will of God when we don't know who God is? How can we do the will of God when God has never defined himself to us? And you will never get God to do anything on your behalf if you don't have a relationship with him. You cannot deal with God as a traditional traditionalist. You cannot deal with God with your own culture. You have to deal with God based on his word, and his word is so powerful. As you've seen what he did with Abraham, as he did with Moses, as he did with David, as he did with Joseph, as he did with Isaiah, as he did with Jesus. All through scripture, God gives you a picture of the greatness of I am. I love one of the things about I am. Every prophet that he used to speak on his behalf spoke a word that did not lie. Not one of the prophets that God spoke, they see that there's 40-something prophets in the Old Testament. Not one of those prophets that wrote or spoke lied. Although in our culture today, we like to believe we don't need to believe in the Old Testament. But may I say something to you? You don't have to believe in it, but Jesus did. Because Jesus didn't destroy it, but Jesus fulfilled it. He said, I didn't come to destroy the Old Testament. I didn't come to destroy the law or the prophets. I came to fulfill it. If you're not going to do that, then you're not going to understand why God gave us the Old Testament. If you want to know who He is, you have to go back into the Old Testament. If you want to know who Jesus is, you have to go into the New Testament. But may I say this to you: before you ever learn who Jesus is, you have to first find out who I am is. And the problem is you want to bypass the system. You don't want to find out who I am is. You want to find out who Jesus is because you think Jesus gives you grace to do what you want, but Jesus is not giving you grace to do what you want. He is coming with more power and more force. He's just doing it in a different way. It's not different in the mind of God, it's just different in your mind because you think you can get away with it. But you cannot get away with it. He is demonstrating God on a level that you don't understand him. He is demonstrating God in the flesh so he can teach you how you can also demonstrate God in the flesh. It is your job now that you are saved. It is your job now that you're filled with the Holy Ghost to demonstrate the goodness of God. He didn't save you and fill you with the Holy Spirit to act like a fool or ass. He demonstrated, he wants to demonstrate the glory of God. You don't need to be arguing and fussing and fighting. You need to be demonstrating love. You're not one that's supposed to bring in uh disturbance, you're the one supposed to bring peace. You're the one that's supposed to be saying, I love you, not I hate you. You're supposed to understand what forgiveness means because you've been forgiven. My God, some of us act like we've never been forgiven, so you cannot forgive others because of the things you've gone through. When you understand the love of God, when you understand that God loved you so much that in spite of the things that Jacob did, Minister Lee, God still loved them. When Jacob decided to walk away, God still loved them. Matter of fact, they kept walking away from God and God kept going back to get them. Then God gave them a prophet called Hosea and said, Go you, go marry that whore, that harlot. And then she walked away, and then God said, Go buy her back. God said, That's how you all are treating me. I keep buying your back and you keep walking away. But God is committed to you. That's why he even says in this word, I'm married to the backslider. You need to get to the place that you believe me, that I am in the Father. That is John chapter 14, verse 11. Jesus is saying to What's today, you need to believe in me. May I say something to you? You can't believe Jesus if you don't study him. You can't believe Jesus if you believe that Jesus is still in the arms of Mary. There are places you go to their churches that have the little lady holding a little baby. It's a white lady with a white baby, so you know that ain't right. Hello, somebody. So you need to recognize and realize Jesus was not white and his mama was not white, but we're not gonna get on that subject tonight. We'll make y'all mad another night. But you need to recognize and realize that Jesus is not in the arms of Mary. He is the true Son of God. Hello, somebody. He is the warrior, he's the one that's standing with the keys in his hands. He has the keys of death, hell, and the grave. Somebody hear what I'm saying to you. When he comes, he's coming with a whole host of uh angelical creatures. And no weapon formed against Jesus shall prosper. It's already a fixed fight. Somebody said, No weapon. Come on, say it again. No weapon. You need to recognize and realize that there is no weapon coming against Jesus that shall prosper. He's not a baby in the arms of Mary. He is the son of God. He has a sword in his mouth, he has an arrow, he has a uh uh weapons of warfare, and you need to recognize and realize uh that there is no enemy that's gonna defeat this man named Jesus. Hello, somebody, but you don't understand. Jesus said, I came to teach you something about God, and I came to demonstrate God on a greater level than you understood in the Old Testament, and you still don't believe. They're no longer walking in truth, they're walking in the error. The priests, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the essence, they're all leading people away from God and not to God. May I say something to you? When you stand before Father, when you stand before the Lord, you will not be able to blame anybody for the reason why you did not make it in. You need to recognize and realize that you won't make it in simply because you didn't do what was necessary. People have thought or think that you could get saved today and do what you want tomorrow. If that's what you call salvation, you shouldn't have never got saved. You should have just stayed where you were. But salvation is not about you doing wrong and doing what's in your own heart. Salvation is about you walking in truth and righteousness. When you walk in righteousness, you no longer put yourself first, you put others first. When you walk in love, you no longer love yourself only, you love your neighbors. Somebody help me here. When you walk in truth, you understand you're walking according to the word of God. And you recognize and realize when your heart, when your conscience hears truth, your conscience must bow down to truth. You don't raise your conscious level over truth, you let your conscious level submit to truth. But see, if you don't know who God is, you can never uh understand what he's asking you to do. God will never tell you to do what you can do, he will always tell you to do something greater than you. And if God ever decides to come to you and speak to you in your heart and give you an assignment, you should lift up your hands, which represent your heart, and say, Father, I want to say thank you for allowing me to receive this assignment. But recognize and realize like Moses, recognize and realize like Jesus, the assignment that God gives you is something that He can do through you. You can't do it on your own. If you try to do God's assignment on your own, you're going to fail. You're going to disgrace God. But I want you to understand that God is saying to you, I need you to represent me, and I need you to believe in me so people can believe in you. May I say to you, it's time for you, those of you that's been saved 10, 20, 30, 40 years, to represent kingdom like never before. You need to understand that this is the time to believe. Jesus says, believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, and or else believe me for what? The very works sakes. Come on, somebody. When people look at you and they prejudge you. People see you for the very first time, they look at the shoes on your feet, Walmart special. They look at the dress or the pants you have on. Will work special. Try to find some old places. Oh Chris. Cress special. They look at you five and dime. And they automatically say, You got nothing to say. You can't bother me with, I don't want to be bothered with you because you don't represent what I want to be a part of. So they looked at the outside, but God looks at the heart. It is unfortunate, many people will never get to see the God in you because they can't see the God on you. Let me say that again. They can't see the God on you. How dare they? So they will come to the conclusion that the God that's not on you can't be the God that's in you. Because the God that is in you should reflect the God that's on you. Somebody better shout with me today. And I'm not saying you need to go out there and buy rings that you cannot afford and put diamonds on you that don't have no value. I'm not saying you ought to spend your money, you can't pay your rent and get kicked out of the place where you live. But what I'm saying is that God is going to elevate you and bless you because when God sent Israel out of Egypt, everybody had clothes that never wore out. They had diamonds and they had rings, they had earrings, they had they had gold, they had wealth. God is a God of wealth, not the God of poverty. So God makes poor and he makes rich. I trust and pray that you are a born-again person. If you give, it will come back to you. If you sow and put God first, if you tithe and put God first, you should put the tithe on the top of your bill list, not on the bottom. I know they want you to teach you to preach, to do the bottom, but put God on the top. And if you put God first, God will put you first. Jesus says, I need you to believe. You don't believe you don't believe the woman who came to me, who had an issue of blood, she touched my clothes and she was healed. You don't believe the man that had 6,000 demons inside of him. When he came to me, I delivered him and put him in his right mind. You don't believe that when the man came, Jirah's daughter, they said she was dead, and I told you she was asleep and she came back from the dead. You don't believe in me when I brought Lazarus back from three days out of the tomb? Over and over, Jesus was trying to say, You understood what God did with Moses, but you don't understand what God's doing with me. And what God is doing with me far supersedes what God is doing with Moses. But Israel had gotten to the place that she was so dark and so caught up in her foolishness that she could not believe that God was able. Somebody shout with me today. God is able. Say it again, God is able. Amen. You need to recognize and realize that God is what one more time. God is able. Say it again, verily. In the book of Matthew, chapter 21, verse 21, Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily, I say unto you, if ye have what? Faith. Everybody say faith. Sister Jean, God is asking for faith today. God is saying to us, if you had faith, guess what? We can get some things done. The problem is we don't have faith, we have doubt and unbelief. But also if ye shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea, it shall be done. Everybody say, It shall be done. When you meet the I am God, you will understand that it shall be done. The problem is you don't know the I am God. The problem is you have never met him. So you say you love God. So you say you love Jesus. So you say that you are a child of God. If you are a child of God, then you will recognize and realize that the I am God is waiting to show you how great He is. What has He done? It shall be done. What are you believing God to do? What is your faith saying? Now, here's one thing you have to understand that you know about faith, but you may not have experienced. If you have faith and you're not working, you don't have faith. If you have faith and you're not fighting, you don't have faith. Because faith is not a prayer. Faith is not just you waiting. Faith is what you're working towards and what you're believing for and what you're fighting towards. And what you have confidence to know that the God of the Old Testament, the God that used Moses, the God that used Abraham, the God that used David is the same God that's able to use you. Do you have faith to believe that which he promised you is going to come to pass? You said you met with I am. And if you met with I am, now I am is going to become whatever he said he wants you to become. And now if you met with I am, he's going to give you the power, the strength to continue and to endure. Those of us who had met the I am and you give up so fast after the first assignment. Then I ain't going through that no more. Then I am says, I thought you said you loved me and you wanted to do. You see, it's okay for you to get caught up in the message, but will you live it out? Too often you get caught up with what the preacher said, but you don't. Understand what he meant. So you need to recognize and realize it's not getting caught up in what he said, it's getting caught up in what the Word of God says. When God gives you an assignment, it's always going to be bigger than you. Let me say that again. When God gives you an assignment, say with me, when God gives me an assignment, it's always going to be bigger than me. When you think your assignment is too big, then you have lost your faith. When you think that God can, when you think that you when that God cannot do what he has said he wants to do through you, you have lost your faith. You have gone from little faith to no faith to shipwreck faith. You need to recognize and realize that you should, he says, you, he says, verily I say unto you, if you have faith, you need faith, you need confidence, you need boldness, you need to encourage yourself in the Lord. You need to tell yourself every day the assignment that you're on. You need to look yourself in the mirror and say, I'm strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. If you become arrogant and think you can do it on your own, you have lost your faith. You have become an arrogant person that God has to judge and put you under instead of raising you up. When God gives you an assignment, Moses, you cannot fulfill it. That's why you have to be a meek man. Scripture says Moses was a meek man, Jesus was a meek man. Why is it necessary to become weak? Because there's so much power that God's going to bring sin to you, you're going to have to stay under the hand of God to keep God from destroying you. You see, when God called you and feed with the Holy Ghost, you have all power. Scripture says to this, Minister Lee, he says you are filled with the Holy Spirit. If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, guess what? You have all the power that you need. Whatever you're filled with, you don't you can't put nothing else in it. You have all power and authority. So you need to recognize and realize that God Almighty has called you and God has filled you with power and authority. Everybody say power and authority.
