SPEAKER_00 0:59

Oh, hallelujah. Yes, yes, yes. Oh, we've come to the house of God on a Sunday morning to receive from you. Father, this meeting belongs to you. Every second of every minute of this meeting belongs to you, Holy Ghost. Thank you for speaking to your people today. Thank you for touching your people today. Father, I feel hunger in the room. Father, I thank you that every hungry person is going to leave here filled and overflowing. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Father, I can't speak for anybody else, but you hear me. Father, look no further. You provide the fire, I'll provide the sacrifice. Lord, I'm going to live so filled with you that I'm unrecognizable to anybody that knows me. Always changing levels filled with you. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Lord, have free reign in this meeting this morning. Yes. Lord, thank you for speaking to people. Laser light precision in the prophetic. Father, I thank you that long-standing sickness, disease, and affliction is going to melt in your presence. In your presence this morning. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen. Hallelujah. Well, you can be seated if you want to. Or not. It really doesn't matter. Welcome to Grace and Truth Church. We're going to have a time this morning. There's another group that has this facility reserved, so I'm going to just keep moving forward. There's some things God wants to do this morning, and you're here. Hallelujah. You know, Hebrews 11:6 says, without faith, it's impossible to please God. But it doesn't stop there. For he who comes to believe, who who comes to God must believe that he is, but it doesn't stop there. That he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. And look where you find yourself on a Sunday morning. Could have stayed in bed, could have gone to bedside Baptist, could have streamed, but you came to the house of God. I want you to know you're going to receive from heaven. If you don't receive, it won't be the Holy Ghost's fault. He has something for you. Now I'm a little loud. I'm going to holler, rant, and rave. I'm going to sweat through these clothes a few times, but it's okay. I came with something from heaven. Yes. And you're going to receive. Oh, God has so much for his children. Hallelujah. Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I feel the miracle working power of God come into my left hand. And I want you to know, I'm not going to embarrass anyone, there is someone here, and I'm going to look straight ahead so no one will think that I know who it is, because I don't. Someone here, you have an ovarian cyst, and it's not me, because I don't have ovaries. Someone here has an ovarian cyst and it causes you consistent pain. If I be a man of God, and I am, that thing is melting right now in the presence of God. It will afflict your life no longer. Hallelujah. Consistent recurring pain that you feel down in your ovaries. Gone, melting now. In Jesus' name. Lord, I thank you. In this meeting this morning, in this meeting this morning, some of you are gonna feel the presence of God come into your body where you ache. Where you ache. And there's a restoring power of God coming into joints where you ache. He's just gonna work. We're just gonna let him work. He just longs to work and he's found a place where he can work. Hallelujah. No agendas. Praise the Lord for teaching meetings. Praise the Lord for teaching syllabuses and slides on the screen and everything's orchestrated and laid out. Praise the Lord for all of that. This isn't one of those meetings. This isn't a teaching meeting. This isn't even a preaching meeting. This is a receiving meeting. Hallelujah. This is a time set apart for the Holy Ghost for people to receive.

unknown 5:18

Thank you, God.

SPEAKER_00 5:19

Hallelujah. Oh, yeah. I like to walk around. So don't get nervous. We're gonna have a time together. The clock means nothing to me, but there's a clock this morning. So I'm gonna just keep moving. Praise the Lord. Pastor Will, at 11:40, no matter what, I want you to wave at me. At 11:40. All right, because I just some things that I want to do in the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Well, once a month, I come to the Houston area with my friend Pastor Will here at Drace and Truth Church, and we do a miracle and prophetic meeting. And a prophetic meeting is different than just a preaching meeting. This is a place where the word of the Lord can flow. But what it's not is a time for you to come and have your fortune read. That's not what it is. It's not a time, but it is a time for the prophetic anointing to come. And you can actually see farther and hear clearer than you can in any other kind of meeting. And I'm telling you, the prophetic anointing is here, and you're going to receive instruction and insight from the Holy Ghost. It might come through my voice. I have prophetic words for lots of people already. But it may not. But this is a time set aside to hear from God. You know, I'm an iPhone user, and everywhere I travel, I put in my destination. And maps take me everywhere. I was not gifted by God with the sense of direction at all. I just follow the blue line. But if I get off, and I do oftentimes, because I think I know where I'm going, as soon as I get off track, it will just say rerouting, rerouting, and put me right back on track. That's what these meetings and the Holy Ghost do. I'll tell you this: it's impossible to stay in the prophetic atmosphere on a regular basis and stay off track. But God's people do get off track. I've been in the full-time ministry, praise the Lord, for 32 years. And I've watched people that love God with all their heart get off track and stay off track for years, for decades. And I was coming off a 40-day fast once, and I heard this two-word phrase in my left ear, three degrees. Three degrees. I may have shared this here before. If you've been around my meetings, you'll probably hear it share a lot of stuff you've heard before. Three degrees. I said, Father, I don't understand. What does that mean? And God showed me that most of his children, they don't miss it through gross error. They get off by three degrees, but they never correct course. So if this is zero, if this is straight ahead and I get three degrees off and I start walking, I will eventually make a complete circle. And this, my friends, is where most of God's children live. Filled with the Spirit of God, loving the Word of God, but never correcting their course. So they just made circles their whole life, and all of their destiny lies there unfulfilled. But you know what? We're gonna make some course corrections in the Holy Ghost today. Hallelujah. I want us to turn in the Bible real quick. Let's turn to Isaiah chapter 50, verse 4. We don't put them up on the screen. I always forget. It's fine. I'll read. Isaiah 50, verse 4. Speaking of Jesus, but this applies to us today because we are created in his image and we are filled with him. Isaiah 50, verse 4. The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens me morning by morning. He awakens my ear to hear as the learned. The Lord spoke to me about this meeting on Sunday morning, the 12th of April, that this would be a meeting where people's ear is awakened to hear. I want you to put up, if it were possible, your spiritual antennas. God is going to bring some course correction to people in his house this morning. Oh, but I love the first, I love the first part of that verse. This is also what God does. He's given me the tundra to learn that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. There'll be a word in season, it'll strengthen you, it'll energize you. Oh, yes. The Bible says that a word in due season, a word fitly spoken, is like apples of gold and pitchers of silver. We don't talk like that anymore. But a word fitly spoken at the right time from the Spirit of God, it's like a solid apple made of solid gold on a silver platter. Very valuable. You can actually tune me out at any point that you want to, and it'll be okay. The Holy Ghost is going to speak some words of coarse correction this morning. Oh, bless the Lord. Now I just got back from the Middle East and I stood in the underground church and an underground Iranian church and I declared this word that I heard in my left ear. And I'm telling you that if I be a man of God, I'm at the Marriott last night and I heard the same word for this meeting. I want to tell you this from the Holy Ghost. Mountains will move this Sunday morning at Dracon Truth Church. Mountains will move this morning at Dracon Truth Church. I don't care how long you've been staring at that thing and it's been taunting you. In the Holy Ghost, mountains are gonna move this morning. You heard me tell Pastor Will that 1140 cutoff? We're gonna see some mountains move, and I am not gonna preach myself out of time. We're gonna minister in the Holy Ghost and we're gonna see some things happen. Bless the Lord. Hallelujah. Let me give you a scripture. Matthew 17, verse 20, because I don't want you to walk away and say he never opened his Bible once. You might get these two verses, and that's it, baby. Matthew 17, verse 20. So Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief, for assuredly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there. Not it might move, not hopefully it might nudge a little bit. Jesus said, If you have faith the size of a drain of mustard seed, you will speak to that mountain, and that mountain will move. Now I declared this in the underground church where we were ministering in the Middle East, and we saw amazing jaw-dropping miracles. And Lord willing, I'll tell you some stories here in a few minutes that will greatly bless your life and encourage your faith. But as I was as I was meditating on mountains moving this morning, the Lord took me back and stay with me. The Lord took me back to the writings of Marco Polo. Marco Polo in 1225. You can actually look this up, what I'm about to tell you. It's in the unabridged writings of Marco Polo from 1225 A.D. He found himself in what is modern-day Iraq in the city that is now Baghdad. And there were a hundred thousand Christians living in 1225 there, underneath a radical Islamic state. And the Muslim caliph that was over that entire area got a copy of the Word of God and he would try to find things that he could disprove the Word of God. And he came across that verse. Actually, he came across Mark 11, 22 to 24, that you could speak to the mountain, be removed, and cast into the sea. And if you don't doubt in your heart, but believe that what you soever you say shall come to pass, the mountain will move. So the Islamic Caliph finds that verse and he gathers all hundred thousand Christians together in a valley. And he says, In ten days' time, you're gonna pray to your God. And that mountain over there, it's either gonna move or it's not. And if that mountain moves, I will renounce Islam and give my heart to Jesus. But if that mountain doesn't move in ten days, when you gather in this valley again, every one of you will convert to Islam or be beheaded. This is historical record. 1225, the unabridged writings of Marco Polo. So there was a pious bishop that lived in that valley, and the people were very concerned. What are we gonna do? The Bible says you can speak to a mountain and it has to move, but we've never seen it happen. That pious bishop was taught into an open vision, and he saw a one-eyed cobbler, a one-eyed shoemaker in a village, and he knew by revelation the name of the village. So he hops on a horse and he travels to that village, and he goes to the intersection that he saw in the vision, and there is a little cobbler's shop. And he goes inside, and sure enough, there is a shoemaker that has one eye. Now, the shoemaker with one eye is an interesting story. He made shoes, and he had a woman come in to have shoes made, and he was fitting her shoes that he had already made. And she was wearing a long skirt, and as she crossed her leg so he could get better access to the shoe, he saw the upper part of her calf, and it stirred in him a feeling of lust. And he was so bothered by that that he took that scripture literally. That if your eye causes you to lust, better for you to pluck that eye out than to go down to hellfire. So he plucked his eye out and lived the rest of his days as a one-eyed shoemaker. He had some real bad theology. He had bad doctrine, but he had a sincere heart. Kind of like most of God's kids today. Bad theology, but a great heart. So they found that one-eyed shoemaker and they told him in two days' time we gather in this valley, and either the mountain moves, or we all have to convert to Islam or be beheaded. And the caliph is shown through his history he's not kidding. So a hundred thousand Christians began to pray and dry fast. No water, they began to pray and dry fast. And they stood there on the tenth day, and the one-eyed shoemaker stared at the mountain and commanded the mountain to move. And the Lord sent an earthquake. Everyone fell to the ground. And when they looked back up, the mountain, it actually shifted over on its side. This is a documented fact. You can see it in the writings of Marco Polo. There's a man called the Vicar of Baghdad. His name is Canon Andrew White. He's still alive. He lives in London, England. They have him over at Bethel to preach once a year. And he tells this story. He went and found that village in 2012. He went and found that village, and they still celebrate that is an annual feast, the day that the mountain moved. I want you to know, my friends, that it may not be a physical mountain that you're facing, but there are things that you know in your life. They must move. And I tell you this by the Spirit of God, this is a mountain-moving Sunday in the presence of God. All I'm trying to do, my whole job description, just to stir your faith, to let the Holy Ghost do what He's already declared He wants to do. We're going to see mountains move. Hallelujah. Oh yes. You know, when I was when I was uh reading that scripture out of Isaiah 50, verse 4, that he would awaken my ear to hear, when I look at you here in the jacket, you actually have an ear to hear, and you hear the voice of God with great accuracy. But I tell you this from the Spirit of God that from this day, there's a whole new world of revelation opening to you. And I see the mighty call that's on your life. I see the heart of ministry that you walk in, but it's going to be like an unfolding revelation from this day to the end of the year. You're going to finish this year in a whole new place in assignment and calling and clarity. He brought you here for this. Praise the Lord. Bless the Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Was it two weeks ago? I don't know. Within the last two weeks, I found myself in the nation of Turkey. And I can tell you some stories because we're not streaming live or anything like that. We actually went to an Iranian church that works on the underground in the nation of Turkey. And they're in their third location because their first two locations, the government discovered where they were meeting, and the government seized and closed their churches. So we're meeting in their third location, and they actually had a miracle that a South Korean businessman sent them a million dollars. And they built out inside a retail and office complex an underground church in the largest city in the nation of Turkey. And they actually operate as a refugee center. But it's against the law to convert from Islam to Christianity. It's against the law to have an open display of a cross. And so even in their meetings, they put out like all of their Christian stuff, right? But as soon as the meeting is over, it all comes back down because God forbid that anybody who's a city inspector comes by and sees a cross or sees a Bible, right? So we go there and we're going to minister in their church. And this is actually a Korean Christian, a Korean Presbyterian church. Not like American Presbyterians, but they are definitely not of the Holy Ghost variety. They are definitely not of the Holy Ghost variety. So we got in there and they had a Sunday morning meeting. And I wasn't preaching that that Sunday morning. And I could tell that there was a great resistance in the atmosphere. Because though this is the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, religion knows no geographical boundaries. I mean the negative, nasty, dead religion that Jesus had to fight. Those religious devils, they didn't leave the earth. They are still alive and well, and they're still running entire denominations and belief systems. And I couldn't believe that here we travel to the other side of the earth. We go to the underground persecuted church and we are smack dab in the middle of religion. Does God still heal? Are the gifts of the Spirit for today? Are the is the day of miracles really past? So I got up there and I heard the Lord say, be authentic. So, and I've wanted to do this since I was 17 years old. I've wanted to stand in the underground church, and I've wanted to see the anointing do what only the anointing can do. So I stood up and understand that the Iranian people, they are not demonstrative, they are not emotional, they're very stoic, very analytical. I got up there and I was hollering and ranting and raving and sweating through my clothes within about 30 seconds. And I watched the Spirit of God sweep in this underground church, and I watched people just melt under the presence of God. We began to see just people begin to weep. They don't weep, you know, not in church. They they began to weep, they began to shake, they began to fall. It was glorious. And we watched just the anointing melt all that nasty religion and people's true hunger emerge. And we saw jaw-dropping miracles. But I want to tell you the personal highlight for me was the night before we went to preach. They took us house to house to just minister to these Iranian Christians that you know there's a full blackout in Iran. There, I mean, there has been ever since the revolution, 54 years ago. So they they don't know what's going on. Your loved ones go into Iran and you may never hear from them again. And so we go and minister just to encourage them. But every place that we went, they would ask me to pray. And so I would just say, Lord, would you just manifest your presence in this room? Lord, would you drive out sickness and disease? Lord, would you reveal the secrets of people's hearts? And we had great moves of God in these homes of these Iranian Christians, and they don't know anything about this. But this is the highlight for me. We have a Muslim interpreter. They hired the best interpreter they could find who's not radical against Christianity. He's loyal to money. And so he he he they they paid him and he was our interpreter and he did understand my fast texting. Pretty, pretty good. He had to back me up a few times. Well, it just it just so happens that our Muslim interpreter's parents drove two hours from Tehran, Iran to come to his house. They could cross the border. Iran, if you're in Iran, you can come across the border on a lottery system. And they were able to come across the border. And so he invited us over just to meet his parents. They've never met a Christian, they've never heard the gospel, they've never been in a church in their life. And I had the joy of seeing his parents raised under Islam in Iran give their hearts to Jesus in his living room. That was awesome. That was awesome. 18 hours later, we find ourselves in church. And this lady who got saved, his parents, they're sitting right in front of me. And I watched as the worship came on, she's never felt the presence of God before. I watched her just weep, just weep in the presence of God. But then she stood in front of me as I opened up the line, like we're gonna do here in just a few minutes, and I began to pray for people for miracles. She stood in front of me and she lifted up her blouse and she was wearing a full back body brace. And I told her the same Jesus that saved her is the same Jesus that would heal her now. And she felt the power of God go through her body, took off her brace, completely healed. So she got born again on a Saturday night, and 18 hours later, she got healed. And she said to me, I have served Allah my entire life and prayed to Him my entire life, but He's never done a single thing for me. Look what Jesus has done for me. Hallelujah. Now that's awesome. That's awesome. I'm telling you that story for the next thing that happened. Her son is a Muslim interpreter, right? He sees his mom and dad get saved. His brother is in the Iranian military, whatever the Republican Guard is. He's a radical. He knows what it means. They can never go back. He knows what it means to see his parents born again. So after the meeting, his name was Reza. I am going after Reza with a fury. Reza, you must give your heart to Jesus. My eyes were opened in the spirit. I began to tell him his future. I told him, You were going to give your heart to Jesus. I see you preaching the gospel. He said this. He said, Russell, I can't deny that I've seen things today that I can't explain. But I'm not ready to give my heart to Jesus. And this is why. I interpreted for you as you ministered to all of these people who have been Christians a very long time. Why are they also broke and why are they all so sick? If your God is so powerful, why do so many of his children all come up and need the same things? Do you understand that we must be able to manifest the power and presence of God and demonstrate to this world that Christianity is not just a faith? I mean, what a joke! Christianity is not a faith, it's all that is real. Everything else is false. That husband and wife that were Iranian and that lived under Islam their entire life. I watched for four hours. Is the Iranian pastor there? Is he just dissected and he told them there's no such thing as Allah? It's a demon. And everywhere he goes, he brings destruction. Everywhere that people give their hearts to him and begin to serve under his rules and under his belief system, life gets worse, it doesn't get better. But this young man who should have given his heart to Jesus, seeing all the miracles, seeing his mom get healed, the thing that gave him pause is if all this is so real, then why are so few of God's children actually living in this powerful God that they serve? My friends, we must be infallible proofs to the world that Jesus is alive. Not in name only. The Bible says the kingdom of God is not in word only, but in miracle working power. Acts chapter 1. Um Acts chapter 1 says what verse 3 says that Jesus showed himself alive by many infallible proofs. Can I tell you, my friends, that you and I, we are the infallible proofs to a lost and dying world that this Jesus is real. Do you know that when I went to minister there, I didn't go as a man of God, I didn't go as a full-time minister, I didn't go as a person that stands in the office of the prophet. I just went as a believer filled with light that drove out darkness. My friends, I tell you this with all my heart, I could take any of you to the Middle East with me, and you would see the same glorious miracles manifest because you are filled and flooded with God Himself. If you don't hear another scripture today, Ephesians 3 19, in the Amplified Bible, this is your life verse that you are a person that is filled and flooded with God Himself. See, 1 Corinthians 3.3 says, Why do you live as mere men? Why do you walk like everybody else? Look, we're in we're in Cyprus, Texas right now. If you were to, if you were to ask all the people in Cyprus, Texas, most of them think that Christianity and Islam and Buddhism and New Age, it's all just religion. It's all just a belief system. Our lives must look different. Yes. Malachi 3, verse 18 says this you will once again see the difference between those that serve me and those that don't. Your life, my life, it must look different than the people that don't serve God. You know? If I were to look around my neighborhood and everyone knows where my house is, and they know that I'm a Christian, they should clearly see the difference. That I may look like everybody else, but I am most certainly not like everybody else. It's how I feel in the ministry. I may look like a minister, but please don't let me in with all the other ministers. I'm after I'm after something that the Bible says that we can have, that I can manifest God everywhere that I go. Yes, and that is your holy calling from God to be so filled and flooded with God that people's stories change because they come in contact with you. Yes. Hallelujah. You know, this is the heart of God. We would see the earth shake on its axis if God's people would just understand what they really possess on the inside of them. But most of God's people are so concerned about paying bills or the problem in their body or the depression or the anxiety or the family problems. They've never really stepped over into victory. Jesus assured us that in this life we would have some trouble. Sorry, my friends, it's a fact. In this life, you're gonna have some trouble, you're gonna have some tribulation, but he has overcome the world, and we are to manifest that victory. Our lives must look different. I tell the Lord this all the time. Father, if you never did another miracle for me, I'm still gonna serve you. I'll never back off this thing. You saved me. I'm not serving you for all the great stuff that you give to me and do for me. I love you because you're my king and you're my savior. But God, would you continue to use me as a sign and wonder to show your goodness? Would you continue to use my life to show what you could do with a yielded vessel that will just say yes to you? Can I tell you, my friends, there are a lot of people here that are called to the full-time ministry or already in the ministry. Can I tell you that everything you desire in God is on the other side of real surrender? Yes. I don't mean to let this meeting get heavy, but let me just stay right here for a second. I just felt the pleasure of God sweep over me. He likes it. He likes it, and that's all that matters. What your ministry really desires, what that next level that you're longing for for your life, you know what's really required? I'm telling you this is a prophet of the Most High God. All that's required is to come to God with a fresh surrender. Lord, if you'll just redirect my steps, I will follow. Lord, I know that when I put my head down on my pillow at night, I love you with all my heart. I love you with all that I know. But if I'm honest, when I put my head down on my pillow at night, there's something in me that says there has to be more than this. This can't be your absolute best for my life. I know there has to be something different. And can I tell you that God will take you there? But it's by rerouting your steps. Every hand lifted to heaven. Father, in Jesus' name. Right here on Sunday morning, we're willing to be rerouted. Father, anything that's in our life that isn't your very best, Lord, it's on the table. It's on the table. All you have to do, Lord, is speak, and we'll obey. Yes. Speak to us, Lord. Show us the thing. The thing. Lord, the thing that needs to change, and we'll do it with all of our heart. Thank you, Jesus. You know, my friends, you can put your hands down if you want to, or keep them up. Matters not to me. You know, my friends, you can trust what you know in the anointing. In fact, I would say this is the safest place on planet earth, that in the presence of God, you can trust what you know in the anointing. Everything outside of that is suspect. This is why God intended for us to never break out of his presence. We're never supposed to have times where we're in the presence of God, and then we go do something else and we come back to the presence of God. I can prove it to you. Psalm 91, verse 1. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Two words there: dwell and abide. We're not supposed to visit the secret place of the Most High. We're supposed to dwell there. Yes. And if we'll abide under his shadow, not hang out. This is not a hobby. Right? We're going to dwell there. I was flying to Houston yesterday and I was on the fourth row of first class. And there was this guy next to me just loading up on whatever mixed drinks or whatever they were serving. And you know, I my gift works by proximity. I knew many things about his life because he sat next to me for, you know, a three-hour flight. But I was just, I was, I was weeping as I had my bow's headphones on because I'm actually in the secret place, communing with Almighty God, seeing the faces of people. Like my friend back here in the in the bright with fuchsia. My friend, yeah, you. Actually, I saw your face in the meeting. I forgot you existed until I saw your face as I was flying here. And I knew that you would be in the meeting and that God was going to touch you powerfully and advance your life. And I'm just weeping. I'm just weeping in the presence of God. Think how different those three hours were for me than that I was throwing back whatever the tomato juice and vodka, whatever all that stuff is, that he's doing. See, we were created to live in this two-word phrase I heard in my left ear from God. Unbroken fellowship. Man, and that's why when I say unbroken fellowship, you can feel it leaping your spirit because this is what God desires for you is to live in unbroken fellowship with Him. You know, even in unbroken fellowship with God, you still have to like take a shower, use the bathroom, fill up your car with gas. You know, you still gotta live life on planet Earth. But you can actually do it in a way that you never break fellowship with God. And people get upset with me, and I could not care less, but they get upset with me when I talked about this. But most people, they have things in their world that are actually the biggest obstacle to the life that God dreams for them. And most of them, it looks like this. Most people spend hours a day distracted from the presence of God because of something they hold in their hand. 15 years ago on a Wednesday night, I was preaching at a church called River of Grace in Keller, Texas. And I was um had an iPhone and I grabbed my iPhone during the Wednesday night meeting, and I was preaching, and I probably had like a note. I know you don't think I have notes, but I probably had a note I was looking up or something. And I grabbed it and I was caught into an open vision. And I saw that an entire generation of God's kids would have their destinies hijacked by a glowing box that they would hold with both hands. But then when I saw their faces, they weren't young people. They were people from like 12 years old into their 80s. I've had a 75-year-old man come up in the prayer lines, like we're gonna do here in a few minutes, been in the full-time ministry 55 years. And he said, and my wife's not here and we're not live, so I can say the quote exactly like he said it. He said, Russell, I'm as bound to this smartphone as a crack whore. I didn't even know what that was. I had to look it up. He said, I'm as bound to my phone as a 75-year-old minister in the full-time ministry for 55 years, is a person who has to sell their body for their drug habit on the streets. That's the level of addiction that I have. My friends, God has a better way. And God's not coming with condemnation to beat anybody up, but he actually has a better portion for our life. He has a better portion. And you know, this is how your destiny is walked out. I'll have lots of prophetic words for people as we begin to minister. But can I tell you that none of those things will sustain you as you walked out your destiny? Those things will encourage you, those things will be atrapoints, those things will lift you, those things will give you confidence and confirmation. But my friends, you're actually gonna walk out your destiny in the presence of God, moment by moment. I tell people this all the time. If this stupid little thing will cost you your destiny, why not just chunk it into the middle of the freeway and have a dumb phone? I have actually had many times in my life, I've gone down to a flip phone during a season of fasting. I'm I'm not immune to distraction. I mentor a lot of young preachers, and the first thing that I have them do is cancel their smartphones. Or did a phone and you know, I tell you this in the fear of the Lord. I actually hold the screen time password for many great men of God because they can't have a phone with unrestricted access that won't take over their life. So there's time limits on it, and I hold the little six-digit password if they have to reinstall some other apps. Because your life in God is too precious to be hijacked by anything. I love social media. Many of you are here, probably because you saw something at one point on social media, right? I guess. Who knows? I love all those things, but I'm telling you, there's something in your heart crying out for more of God, and there's obstacles, and it's in the prophetic meetings that it just seems so easy. Watch, you can check your own heart right now. If you check your own heart, there's an easy, of course I want that. Yes, I want that. I don't want any distractions. I'm standing here right now and I'm taught into a vision, and there's someone here, you you lose your life to a recliner with your feet up in a remote. I don't even own a television, so I forget that people even sit in front of TVs. But someone here, you're losing your life in a chair with your feet that go up and sitting with a remote. It's not worth it. But check this out in the presence of God, you're like, Jesus, you can have that. Holy Ghost, if you're saying that that's a problem, that binge watching those series or whatever, you know, if those are a problem, done. I'd give it to you. I'll tell you, my friends, Monday morning's coming. Tuesday afternoon is coming when that thing pulls towards you. Everything you desire is in the presence of Almighty God. Yes. Yes. Everything you desire is in the presence of God. Yes. And it's the Holy Ghost that's taking you there. And you can trust what you know. You can trust what you know in the anointing. We used to say in Pentecost, like I love to say in old-time Pentecost, even though I'm not an old-time Pentecostal, I just respect them so much. So I find myself talking like some of my heroes that were old school Pentecostals, you know. But in old-time Pentecost, we used to say, you got a function in the unction. Right? 1 John 2.20 in the King James Bible says that you have an unction from the Holy One and you know all things. All the modern translations say you have an anointing from the Holy One and you know all things. I want you to know that you have something down here in your spirit and you can trust it. And this is the way that God leads you. Hey, I was in the Middle East. I wasn't sure I was going to tell this story. I was preaching in that church, and I felt to give an altar call, which I did not realize at the time is like big time illegal. So I'm halfway through the altar call, and the Holy Ghost shows me that what I'm doing to get the pastor thrown in prison and all the people there thrown in prison, and I immediately pivoted and I changed the altar call. Right in the unction, I shifted the altar call and had everyone in the crowd pray the same prayer together. And actually learned that in a random conversation in a village in India because they have anti-conversion laws there. So the way you did around that is let everybody respond so that no one can be singled out by the secret police, right? I'm in that meeting and I pivot the altar call. And I was like, oh Jesus, thank you, thank you, thank you. I pivot the altar call and I'm halfway through the center's prayer. I'm halfway through the center's prayer and I see a man standing at the back of the building. My friends, I set the microphone down and I ran and I tackled that man. I was halfway down the aisle and I was saying, What are you doing? You are you they they already think you're a madman. What are you doing? You're running down the aisle of this Iranian church, and I grabbed this guy and I grabbed him like this, and then I began to prophesy to him. And I did not realize why. After the meeting, his dad came up to me in the prayer lines and he said, I wasn't sure if any of this was real. And I told God, if any of this is real, you have him stop right now and come and grab my son. And I was down the aisle grabbing that guy at the back of that building. That's the unction. That's the unction. You can actually function in the unction every day for the rest of your life. You you know what that's what our life in God is supposed to look like. You know, I'm like a productivity guy. I get up every morning and I write out all the things that I have to do, and it's really important to me that if I've told someone I'll return their call or whatever, that I've done it. So every day of my life I get up and I look at my never-ending list of things that need to be done in the ministry. Right? But there's a much better way to live. It's fine to have a to-do list, it's fine to have a planner and all those things, but we can actually just live responding to the Holy Ghost. Yes. Every hand lifted to heaven. Father, you told me that there would be unctions that would change people's lives here. Father, I thank you, there's not a single person here that's going to stay in the same place that they are. Lord, I thank you that the unction from the Holy Ghost settles upon their life now. Lord, I thank you, just by your goodness and by your grace, a fresh sensitivity to the spontaneous move of the Holy Ghost in our life. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Larry and Pat, I tell you this in the fear of the Lord. I sat in your home yesterday. I know all kinds of things about your life. All kinds of things about your life. I'm telling you this from the Lord. The whole time I've been preaching, I see written over you guys, Psalm 46. There's a supernatural sustaining river from God that you guys are actually already waist deep in the middle of. Psalm 46 says, There is a river whose streams make black the city of our God. You're actually standing in that right now, and there's a supernatural refreshing. Lift your hands to heaven. You're actually gonna walk this out for the rest of 2026. I see a press and a refresh. I see a press and a refresh. You'll go through the pressing, but then comes the refreshing. You'll go through the pressing, then the refreshing. You're actually walking out an assignment from God that you have. But you're not gonna do it and be weary. You're gonna do it because when the pressing comes, then the refreshing comes. Father, I thank you that by the anointing, right now, you brought them here for this. The refreshing. I feel that coming out of my left hand, Pat. The refreshing. Yes. Oh, yes. The refreshing. I also see a real sensitivity to the voice of God and clear instructions for your life. The Lord told me to tell you, you shall not be caught unawares. You shall not be caught unawares. You're gonna actually see the future as it unfolds. Yes, this is your promise from God. You shall not be caught unawares. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, my father. Thank you, Jesus. Tell you one more thing. I've just walked through a supernatural thing that happened to us. And my wife says I'm I really share too much, and yeah, probably so.

But she's not here, so um.

SPEAKER_00 46:27

So we were scheduled to go to Pakistan. And this trip to Turkey, we were just making a five-day little sojourn to Turkey. We were on our way to do crusades in Pakistan, and then they attacked the consulate in the city where we were going to, so they canceled the crusade. And what happened is they they seized and they held all of our money. And so we we had put up just thousands and thousands of dollars, and then because there's a war in the Middle East, they they seized all of that, and there's nothing else that we could do. Weren't you guys? Was it in here? Was it here? You know, I had I had we we were going into Cuba a few a few months ago, and I made a transfer in our ministry's bank accounts, and I put Cuba in the transfer notice, and President Trump had decided to put real pressure on Cuba, so they seized all of our ministry funds. I think it was here that we prayed about that. I was somewhere and we prayed, and the next day it was released. It was there, there's actually a whole department of the treasury, it's called the Office of Foreign Asset Control. They seized our money and said it would be like 90 days to six months before it'd even be reviewed. But then by the hand of God, mountain movers, you know, they that thing that thing got moved. So praise the Lord. So here's what happened: all this money got held for the Pakistan Crusade, and then we had to rechange everything for Turkey. And I walked into a meeting on a Saturday night where I am not preaching. And I'm walking in that meeting knowing, Lord, next Wednesday, I've got to buy all new airline tickets and do all the stuff for this trip, and we don't have the money to do it. It's it's your will, it's your bill. I'm a preacher, I have preacher diddy, so that's that's what I tell God all the time. It's your will, it's your bill. But I walked into that meeting knowing that I need like $6,000 like now. So I go to that meeting and I'm not scheduled to preach. It's my spiritual father, and he's scheduled to preach. And he comes up to me about five minutes before the meeting and says, Russell, I need you to cover the meeting tonight. I'm leaving. He had a family emergency. So I walked in there, and that's no problem. You can see I'm not really a notes and outline kind of preacher. I'm gonna get up and just flow in the Holy Ghost. You know, it's awesome. So I get up and I preach, and I'm preaching out of John 2. And I'm gonna close the meeting with this. I'm preaching out of John 2, and it's the wedding feast at Cana. It's Jesus' first miracle, and it's a miracle of provision. And there's a little line in there in John 2 where Mary turns to the servants and says, Whatever he, meaning Jesus, whatever he says to you, do it. Whatever he says to you, do it. And so I'm preaching along those lines in that meeting and about just obeying God. You know, the Lord told me in my left ear, this is for you, that I preached on it that night as well. You are one obeyed instruction away from breakthrough. We're not waiting around. This is not an endurance contest. You are one obeyed instruction from breakthrough. That God is longing for people that will just agree with him. Amos chapter 3, verse 3. How can two walk together unless they be agreed? Yes, that's my life verse. Hear me preach long enough, everything's my life verse. So I'm preaching, I'm preaching out of John 2, whatever he says to you, do it. And so it's not my meeting. I've taken up the tithes and offerings for that church, and I'm just there serving my spiritual father. Three times in the meeting, I hear the Lord say, take up an offering, and there was a pastor on the front row from Hong Kong. And now I had shown up to the meeting early because he had asked to visit with me. He came to America by the word of the Lord, and now his wife and two babies are stuck in Hong Kong and can't get visas, and he's just tremendously discouraged. So we're just loving on him and everything. Three times while I'm preaching, the Lord says, Take up an offering for Pastor David Chen from Hong Kong. Now, again, it's not my church, not my meeting. But because it is my spiritual father and they have confidence in me, I knew I could take up an offering without his approval. So I told the people, we're gonna take up an offering tonight for Pastor David Chen. The people have already given. Most of the time, a such an offering, you know, is not anything super significant, but I'm just obeying the Lord. Whatever he says to you, do it. Okay. Stay with me. So I tell the people this whatever comes in in this second offering, every penny is gonna go to Pastor David Chen. But we've already taken up the offering for the church, so we're gonna run all of this through our ministry through the power of God. And so, you know, I I preach in this church a lot, they have my draft up, and so they put up an offering draft for my ministry, and I said it again by the Holy Ghost. Every penny that comes in tonight goes to Pastor David Chen in Hong Kong. Now I knew in the natural, he had told me before the meeting, he had just gotten ripped off at a church. He had preached at a church in Maryland, they had given him in a $50 honorarium, and he spent $80 on Uber to get there. And he was super discouraged. Is this how things are in America? I said, no, those are just some losers. And so I paid for, I paid like $100 something dollars for his Uber that night to get into the meeting just to meet with me. But I promise you, none of that. It's not my church. I can't take up an offering because I want to for him. I had to hear the Lord. So three times the Lord said, take up an offering. I said, every penny that comes in tonight. All right? So I've set the stage. Unbeknownst to me, someone that knows our ministry and loves us just happened to be in Dallas Fort Worth and going to that meeting. He saw me on the front row because I wasn't preaching. I was just there as a guest. As he walked in, the Lord said, They're gonna take up an offering tonight for Russell's ministry. I want you to give him $5,000. So he had already purposed in his heart that there's gonna be an offering for our ministry and he's gonna give $5,000. But then I went over and said, we'll take up an offering tonight, we're throw up power of God's QR code. Every penny that comes in tonight goes to Pastor David Chen from Hong Kong. That night, $5,600 came in, and every penny went to Pastor David Chin from Hong Kong. And he's just fallen out. He's just trying. This solves a major miracle for them. He's got money for flights for his family when their visas are approved. Everybody's happy except for me. Because I'm driving home knowing that three or four days later I've got to buy $6,000 worth of airline tickets, and I don't have $6,000. And we operate, I mean, you know, you can put anything on a credit card, but that's the way to get in real trouble. Everything in God is cash on the barrel. Amen. So I go home and I'm not blessed. And I told my wife she was out of town, and I told my wife, I said, you know, the Lord told me to do this. He said, you know, the Lord sent the $5,000, he sent that for us. But I told David Chin, I told the whole crowd, the offerings for our brother from Hong Kong. Can I tell you that I was tempted to not give the entire offering to him? I literally, so they came to me because it went through our ministry, they said, Here's what came in. They said, You said every penny, so we're giving it all to him. And I was like, Well. And I thought, I thought about, I thought all the things that probably you would think in the natural as well. You know, a thousand dollars to this pastor would be a major blessing. Maybe we just split it with him. That's what I thought. Maybe we could split it with him. But I said, nope, give him the whole thing. Give him the whole thing. I went to bed that night. I tried, Belinda was out of town, my wife, so I was uh sleeping on the couch, not because I was in trouble with her, because I actually prefer to just pray and that kind of stuff. So I'm laying on the couch and I realize it's two o'clock in the morning and I'm not happy. I'm not a cheerful giver. I got up and I began to pray. I began to dance and rejoice, and I prayed until I stepped over into joy that Pastor David Shin had $5,600. Went to bed. 4 30 in the morning, the Lord woke me up and I heard this audibly. You passed the test. Now, first of all, I was like, no, Lord, I'm 32 years into this. Am I still passing tests? He said, Yes. Yes, you are still passing tests. He said, You pass the test. So I called my wife, much to her chadren at 4.30 in the morning. And I said, Belinda, the Lord said we passed the test. I'm telling you, the money will come in for those tickets. My friends, I tell you this in the fear of the Lord. We needed 6,000. I gave him 5,600 that came in because I said I would, in the next seven days, sorry, the next nine days, $32,000 came in unsolicited to the power of God. Can I tell you that the supernatural provision that some of you are looking for, there's really a step of obedience that takes you there. You think this is a move for an offering? It's not a move for an offering. I just live something from God that He's teaching me things even 32 years in. You can obey God. You can obey God in every area of your life. Someone here, and I know who it is, but I'm just gonna be nice. I'm gonna minister one-on-one and I'll tell you some more. There's someone here, the Lord has been dealing with you strongly about your health and your disregard for your health. And he's actually trying to spare you from much harm. And the fact that you can't feel your extremities because your blood sugar is so high, it's a sign. God wants you to know this thing must move, and he's actually giving you instructions to obey him in the areas of your health. Yes. Hallelujah. So I'm gonna open up the altars here and we're gonna minister. Before I do, we're gonna take up an offering for power of God. In the fear of the Lord, that story was not trying to get an offering for our ministry. We don't operate that way. Those of you, some of you, you helped us go into Turkey, and I'm gonna ask you, we're leaving in three weeks. We're going into India, we're going into the most radical area of India where they're actually gonna smuggle us in in a car under a tarp. And we've got a hundred pastors gathering together in the most radical area where radical Hindus are burning down churches, and we're gonna let it rip in Rajasthan, India. Praise the Lord. So if you want to stand with us, you absolutely can. You can stand that QR code. I tell you this, every penny that comes in, we're gonna put into the nation of India and encouraging pastors there. Praise the Lord. And if you don't do QR codes, we even take old-fashioned cash and checks. Somebody will help you if you want to give like that. Amen. Amen. You know, I've been doing this a long time. And I want to tell you this with all my heart. Everything that you desired in God will come to pass if you'll just get out of the noise and have it hear from God and obey. Just get out of the noise and hear from God and obey. I'm here in Houston area tonight ministering in the city of Magnolia at Happy Family Church in Magnolia. I can give you information on that. And then our next meeting, I think, is May the 3rd and the 4th. We're going to be in a city called Dayton at Eastgate Church. Praise the Lord. But um, I come and do these meetings with Pastor Will because he's my friend. And I've been a friend of this house, and they've been our friend. You know, Pastor Will is one of our first partners in the ministry back in 2016, I believe. And here we are all these years later. Will? Still letting it rip for Jesus. Amen. Well, I'm going to pray over your offerings. Father, there's a supernatural blessing that follows this ministry. And Lord, I release it now upon every gift. Father, we trust your word. You said that anything that we give up for the gospel's sake is a candidate for a hundredfold return. Every penny of this offering is going to go into the persecuted church in India. And Father, I believe that it clearly qualifies for a hundredfold return according to Mark 29 and 30. Lord, I declare a hundredfold increase on every seed sown. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Well, listen, we're going to open up the altars and we're going to minister. Our services are in two parts. This has been the lame part, and now the good stuff's about to start happening. I'm going to ask you if there's a mountain that needs to move in your life, can we agree together that it'll move? I'm telling you that people will be in this line right here. People will receive prophetic words that clearly illuminates their future. People in this line will have lifelong conditions that, if existed in your body, will melt. It will actually leave your genetic structure. See if I'm not a man of God, telling you the truth. This is what God does. Hallelujah. So it's been a joy to minister to you. Am I on time? We got 12 minutes. I'm going to. All right. Here's what I'm going to ask. Anyone that is a visitor that you've never been in one of my meetings before, I want you to come up first, unless you have like a scheduling obligation. Like if you guys need to leave, you can come up first. It's no problem. But uh we're gonna turn on some music. We're gonna let's do this blood. You know the one that I like? I came to tell you that he's alive. Yeah. We'll put that on and ask you, um, let's make it a line like right here, and then I'm gonna minister to people right here because sometimes the Lord says things to people that, you know, they're just like, they're just private. You know? Jesus gave me this instruction. This is the instruction God gave me. Ask people what their greatest need is. Release your faith for that. If there's anything else, I'll be glad to. Not a fortune teller, can't guarantee you a word from God, but I do see in the Spirit, and I fear the Lord too much not to tell you what I see and hear. But I've been fasting, so I'm gonna grab some gum and I'll be right back.
