Worship And Presence That Heals

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Here we are on a Sunday morning. Father, we've come to receive from you. Jesus, we worship you. Oh, you're so wonderful. Father, as the song says, we are here for you. And Lord, because we are, won't you come and do what you do? Lord, won't you come and do what only you can do. For everything we need is found in your presence. You know, His presence drives out sickness and disease effortlessly. And there's someone here that there's this melancholy, you know, probably psychologists would call it depression. There's this thing that tries to come and settle on your life. You wake up and everything's fine, and then it's like a gray sky comes and it just colors every part of your day. I tell you this by the word of the Lord. There's a presence here right now that will lift that thing off of your life forever, forever, in Jesus' name. Now, Father, I lay hold of this meeting in the spirit. Holy Ghost, this time belongs to you. Every second of every minute, don't let a single thing be said or done. That's not your very, very best. This is the cry of our heart, Father, to receive from you. There's some hundred people that drove a long way to be here. Father, don't let a single person leave out that exit door the same way they came. In Jesus' name. Amen. Hallelujah. Oh, you can be seated, you can stand, you can run, you can cry, it doesn't matter. Hallelujah. Oh, this meeting belongs to God. I plan to do all of that. Hallelujah. Yes. Thank you, Jesus.

Hunger That Gets God’s Attention

SPEAKER_00 1:53

You know, this is Sunday morning. Half of the earth has already met in the name of the Lord Jesus and had their Sunday morning service, and it's Sunday night in over half of the earth. And think about this. Of all of the hundreds of millions of Christians that actually went to the house of God in their nation, in their language, in their dialect, hundreds of millions of people went to church, but not everybody received the same. There's a church in out an hour outside of Lagos, Nigeria, the Redeemed Christian Church of God. Their church building is 1.6 miles long and 1.6 miles wide. And 3.5 million people met yesterday in Nigeria on their Sunday morning service. But not everybody in those 3.5 million people received the same. Where I was just a month ago in the mountains of Rajasthan, India. I was in a building where it was a hundred degrees outside and 123 degrees inside. And those pastors had been beaten and stoned, and two of them were just killed for preaching the gospel in Northwest India. And that little group of believers, they all came to the house of God, but not all of them received. There's something about real hunger that doesn't just come to church because it's the right thing to do, it's the faithful thing to do, even though that's right. There's something about real hunger that gets the attention of God, and He'll pass over hundreds of millions of Christians, and He'll find you right here in this building in Cyprus, Texas. I heard the audible voice of God say this four-word phrase in my left ear. And it changed the way I view ministry and the way I operate. Most people don't get up and start shouting, they kind of build to a crescendo. Because I heard the audible voice of God say, I looked, I longed. God said, I looked, I longed. Second Chronicles 16, 9. If you've ever been in a meeting with me, you're probably gonna hear this one quoted. That the eyes of the Lord, that they search to and fro across the whole earth, that God is looking to show himself strong to somebody whose heart is crying out to him. God said, I look, I look, but he said, I longed. Isaiah 30, verse 18, the prophet spoke the word of the Lord. God said, I longed to show myself gracious to my people. God is looking and he is longing. And my question for you, my friends, in grace and truth, why not you? Why not this Sunday morning? Can't this be a level-changing meeting for your life? That that thing you thought I'm gonna put up with, that thing in my body forever, it leaves today. You thought that that marriage, that conflict in your family, this is just the way it is. That's just the way he is. Why don't you receive something from heaven that changes the story of your marriage and your family? That's what's on the menu every time we gather. There's nothing that we can do to motivate God any more than he's already motivated. He is looking for somebody to show himself strong to. I'm gonna stand up and preach my heart out. I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt because the AC is not working. I'm gonna sweat through these clothes, but as I'm preaching, I'm receiving. I've decided that as long as I live on planet earth, I'm gonna be the hungriest man for the presence of God who ever lived. And I'm with those kinds of people. Y'all are my people. I can feel hunger in the room, and by the grace of God, I'm gonna preach you so hungry that you can't stay in the same place in the spirit that you walked in. Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord. Hallelujah.

Words Of Knowledge And Breakthrough

SPEAKER_00 6:12

Bere Sura Mambrakata, Susan. I see in the spirit there's some type of problem, like in the lower half of your body, like your legs or your feet, something that plagues your life. And I'm telling you right now, this thing goes, it's been a long-standing thing. It's gotten better, but it never stays. I tell you this from the Lord Jesus Christ, there's a permanent change coming into your body, and I hear this in my left ear. You shall not be hindered by this thing in your final days. Yes, in Jesus' name. Oh, barani buryaka tala mambra steleburiya. Thank you, Lord Jesus. We're gonna just settle in. I know meetings are supposed to have like an outline and a you know, a structure they follow, but it's this is not that kind of meeting. This is to gather in the presence of God and receive. One of the greatest Bible teachers on planet earth is seated right there. Come back next week and be fed and changed by the word. I mean, this is not that kind of meeting. There's things that God wants you to get, and they only come. They only come by hunger as you position your heart to receive. Just because it's been this way for a very long time, doesn't mean it's your portion for you to live your days like that. God will let you live any way you want on planet earth. I've made my decision. We've seen that old song. I give altar calls and we have that old song. I have decided to follow Jesus. Well, that's the most important decision you'll ever make. But baby, that's just getting in the water of this walk in God. I've decided a bunch of other things. I've decided to follow Jesus, but I've made a bunch of other decisions, and I've decided that whatever passes for normal American Christianity is not my portion. If I can find it in these 1,189 chapters, this is my reality. Yes, hallelujah. And if I look like a madman, I am. Paul said, if I'm even in my right mind, it's only for your sake, because I have lost this thing. Yes, hallelujah. You know, we sing that song. I told my friend Pat, wonderful minister of God. Pat Graham, I'm so glad to see you. Your husband rocked it last night. He could have taken the whole meeting. He would have if I would have let him. I had to pull him back in and say, now just pray. He's awesome, he's awesome, and you're awesome. Praise the Lord. But I leaned over and told her we were singing that song, Fill Me Up. That's my theme song. You can get so filled with the Spirit of God that you can overflow that everywhere you go, you're a walking, talking encounter with God for a lost and dying generation. Yes. We are single Brendan Late song. We need a move. I never sing that. We don't need a move. They finally did around to it at the end of the song. He said, This is a move. But I tell you, there's something a whole lot deeper than that. And if you put on your big boy underwear and your big girl panties, if you can hear this, everywhere you go, you should say, I am a move. I am a move of God, looking for lost, hurting people that need an encounter with God. And there are levels to this game, and by the grace of God, this is going to be the thing I minister on. And it can change at any minute, but that's what's in my heart. There are levels to this game, there are levels to this walk in God. And though our position is seated with Christ in heavenly places, everybody's not in the same place in the kingdom of God. There are levels to this game. Thank you, Jesus. Let's just dial in. Give me 45 minutes with all of your heart, pushing back every distraction, and you're going to hear a word from God in due season. This is going to help you today, in Jesus' name. And I felt the miracle-working power of God come into my left hand. I don't say that lightly. I'm going to stand before God and give account for every word this tongue mumbled while I lived on planet Earth. I'm telling you, I feel the miracle-working power of God in my left hand. People are going to be healed this morning. I already got text messages this morning from the meetings in Montgomery over the last two nights of people that they have tangible differences in their physical body and things they could not feel before, they can feel now. As nerves come alive, things that medical science can't do, Jesus easily does. Bless the Lord. Hallelujah. Claire. You kept me up last night. I don't mean just us talking about the goodness of God. All night I was praying over your situation. I have the word of the Lord for this transition that does begin this month for your life. This is the start of a whole new chapter of your life. And everything you've done has just been divine training from God to get you to right here in this chapter that you're walking into. And this thing about the long drive, no one will understand this. The thing about the long drive. Okay? Yes. God sees the end from the beginning. And this entire chapter of your life is going to be covered by Psalm chapter 5, verse 12. This is the word of the Lord that He's going to surround you with His favor as a shield. There are things that must change about your daily reality for you to be able to run your race at full strength with all the vitality that it requires. And God's going to pour out great favor on your job, on the sale of your home, and on the purchase of a new one. Even on the building you guys are going to acquire. You're going to look back on this whole chapter of your life and say the favor of God made it happen. E-A-S-E. Ease. This is the word of the Lord. Bless the Lord. Hallelujah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Will Brocker? Mashtele Burian Tambrakata. Anything that you said to me as I walked into the parking lot, my word to the Lord Jesus Christ, I'm not talking about any of that. When I stand in front of you, I can see the next chapter of your ministry, and I can see that six continents of the earth will gather and watch your face on strings. That you've actually just stretched the surface of the real expansion of your ministry. I see that people are gonna grab a hold of your teachings and they're gonna spend their own time and money translating them into different languages, both in audio and the written word. The Lord has heard your cry of yes, and he's about to add two zeros to the influence of your ministry. This is the word of the Lord, a hundredfold increase begins now. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. I'm gonna minister to everyone that's here. So you don't have to wonder, does God have anything for me? He does. Praise the Lord. Isn't that good? Isn't that good? If you don't run out the door, I'm gonna have a prophetic word for you too. All right? A little different than what you're used to. It's gonna be good. Jesus has something awesome for you. He's gonna give you some things that are gonna lodge in your heart today. You're gonna run on for the next 10 years. They're gonna guide even the men that you marry and the things you do in the earth. Oh, yes. Oh yes. Thank you, Jesus.

Offering And Blessing The House

SPEAKER_00 14:13

Besto lo boriado. But I'm gonna just follow the Holy Ghost and I'm gonna take up an offering for Grace and Truth Church. This is their normal Sunday morning service. They normally don't take up an offering. When I pulled in the parking lot, the Lord told me to take up an offering for Pastor Will Brocker. And he knows that if I say God said, God said, and he doesn't like this because it may seem uncomfortable, but I don't care because I'm gonna follow the Holy Ghost. Yes. Hallelujah. So we're gonna take up an offering for Grace and Truth Church. They're gonna put up their information. And if you would like to sew, we'll take up an offering for power of God at the end of the service. But I promise you, if you can only sew in one offering, you sew in this one. And when I pulled in the the um driveway, the Lord said to sew the first $500. And this entire offering goes to you personally. And I think I'm on the church board here, right, Joey? I think I'm on the church board. Power of God will pay all the taxes, cover everything. Everything goes to you. And see, he doesn't even want to look at me, just he's a humble man. He doesn't want this. The Lord told me to bless him. And so I'm gonna let you in on it if you want to. You're under no pressure. I promise. There's not a single bit of pressure. If money causes you to get all wonky, well, just join the rest of the American church. It's no problem. All right? If you want to give cash or check, they'll have offering stuff. Someone will help you. QR codes is how we do it mainly nowadays. Praise the Lord. And Barbara, don't let me forget, I'm I'm sewing 500. I'll handle it after the service for grace and truth. All right? Oh, isn't that good? Praise the Lord. Pastor Will Brocker. God said that Grace and Truth Church is a signs and wonders church, and you're a signs and wonders pastor. There have already been so many mighty miracles in this small assembly, but I'm telling you, you haven't even stretched the surface of all you will see on planet Earth. Yes. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Oh, isn't that good? So if you need the QR code, they'll leave it up there for a little bit. Praise the Lord. You know, I was pressing, I was fasting and praying over these meetings, this revival weekend. I've had so much fun in Montgomery the last two nights in this house church. And the Lord spoke to me that I'll be coming back to Montgomery to help my friends. So I'll be in the Houston area. It's gonna be fun. Praise the Lord. But I was fasting and praying for you. I promise you. If you're sitting there and you kind of feel your bad side getting a little warmed, nothing wrong with the chairs. Nothing. It's just that I've been praying for you that you would receive from heaven. Yes. Hallelujah. And I'm gonna get into some things uh this morning by the grace of God. They're gonna help you. Yes. Praise the Lord. So, Father, we thank you for the ability to sow. In the Grace and Truth Church, Father, I thank you for multiplying every gift. Father, I'm asking you to multiply the finances of this church and of this awesome pastor. And I thank you for this in Jesus' name. Amen. Lord, if you could only bless one offering today, bless this one. Amen. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. You know, it's so much, it's so interesting how taking up an offering changes the atmosphere. Put on presents. Thank you, Lord. You know what's interesting? It doesn't happen in other nations like it does in America. It's been the oddest thing for me to experience. Praise the Lord. Ah, yeah, there's an offering basket back there for grace and truth. Praise the Lord. Amen. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Yes, yes, yes. All right. Here in this building, this morning, there's not a single person here that doesn't have a call of God on their life. This is the most unique assembly. When I walk around, everywhere that I look, there's people with a call of God on their life. Every single one. It's amazing. I'm sorry, I really should like go grab the offering bucket and pass it around. If I was more disciplined, I would do that. It's all right. If I gave you any heads up, Will, we could have some things handled. Isn't that right? It's just the way it goes. Amen. Praise the Lord. But as I walk around here, I'm so aware everywhere I look, there's ministers. And there's five-fold calls. These are the kind of people that are attracted to my ministry. You know, I just don't do three points in a poem and how to have a great marriage and all that stuff. I mean, all those things are needed. They're all wonderful, but I find hungry people that have some stuff churning on the inside of them that know I got some stuff on the inside of me that needs to be released. And I want to know how to get there. And I want to talk along those lines this morning a

The End Is Better Than Beginning

SPEAKER_00 18:56

little bit. This won't be a TED talk, I assure you. Ecclesiastes chapter 7, verse 8. Ecclesiastes chapter 7, verse 8. The end of a thing is better than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. I want to focus on the first part of Ecclesiastes 7, verse 8. The end of a thing is better than the beginning. Where God is taking you in your life, it far exceeds anything that you've ever known. Everything about God increases. Proverbs chapter 4, verse 18 says this that the path of the righteous is like the shining sun. It gets brighter and brighter and clearer and clearer under that perfect day. It is unlawful for God's people to have had their best experiences in God at youth camp when they were a teenager, or at that woman's conference when they were in their mid-20s, or in that Holy Ghost meeting where they were out under the power for three or four hours and they're always looking back for the good old days. In God, there's no such thing as the good old days. There's right now. And God says, the end of a thing, the end of our life, it is better than the beginning. In so many of God's people, and I mean his ministers, they are yearning, trying to get back to the place when they knew they were on track. Because they look around at their life and go, if I'm really honest, God, I love you with all my heart, but I know there is more from my life than what I'm seeing. And it churns on the inside of God's people, and God actually loves it.

Three Degrees And Course Correction

SPEAKER_00 20:43

I was coming off a lawn fast and I heard this this phrase. And I don't know if it's because I'm low IQ or I'm just really simple-minded, but God speaks to me primarily in two-word phrases or three-word phrases as far as ministry points. Other people get downloads from heaven and they see telepipe and they write out whole paragraphs. No, no. I'm actually writing a series of books called two-word theology. But I heard the audible voice of God in my left ear say three degrees. Three degrees. All it takes for God's people to miss it completely is to get off by three degrees somewhere in life and never correct. All right. So if I'm standing right here, and this is the perfect will of God, straight ahead, and I start walking, and I get off by just three degrees, and I just start walking. If I walk long enough, I'll just end up walking in a complete circle. And this describes the lives of most of God's people. They got off somewhere and they never let the Holy Ghost bring correction because we're a distracted people. And I'm not beating anybody up. I resent. What I just said. I know distraction. I can be distracted by anything. But what makes me different than the typical American minister is that I have made the presence of God my portion. And God won't let you stay off if you'll stay in the secret place of his presence. This is the hardest thing you'll ever do on planet earth. You know, watch this. You can take a Saturday and you can have all Saturday to catch up on errands, to go mess around in the garden, to play with the grandkids, just to do anything. But then say, you know what? I'm going to take two hours and I'm just in a dit alone with the Lord Jesus. All hell will break loose. Your phone will start blowing up. I mean, it is. Listen, we are not unopposed in this life. I don't tell this story very often, but it fits here.

Tiny’s Story And Spiritual Reality

SPEAKER_00 22:54

When I was in Bible college, I came to know a young Bible college student with me at Christ for the Nations in 1993. And his name was Tiny. But Tiny wasn't Tiny. Tiny was a big old farm boy. And when Tiny was 12 years old, he was at youth camp and got prayed for, and he fell out in the Holy Ghost. And his head hit the edge of the stage, and they thought he was dead. But he was taught away to heaven. And when he came back, he knew so many things. But when he came back, he had a very unusual gift on his life that he saw in the spirit 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And when he told me that, I did not believe him. I said, You are a nut. I thought he was making things up. So I began to test him. He would begin to tell me things that he probably shouldn't about other people. And he's the first person I ever heard that described that people carry different sizes of their spirit man. And he would lean over to me and say, You see that person walking? Their spirit man is bigger than it's like five times their natural size. Well, I would know that person. And sure enough, when that person would just stand up and pray, the whole atmosphere would shift. And I wanted that. And I wondered, how do you get that? And he was telling me that. And then there were other people, like this really arrogant pastor's son, who thought he was all that in a bag of chips, but he carried nothing. And Tiny didn't know that. He didn't know about all my negative opinions about this guy, but he leaned over and said, You see that guy? His spirit man is like 1% the size of his body. He almost you can't even see it. He doesn't carry anything in the spirit. But I still didn't really believe him. He caught my attention. But then one day he came to my dorm room door and he knocked on the door. And I snuck up to the little keyhole. And Christ for the nations, their men's dorm was a 10-story Sheraton. So these are all just hotel rooms that they cram a bunch of Bible college kids in with bump beds. But you know, it's an old hotel with the little keyhole doors. So I tiptoed to the door and I looked through the keyhole and it was tiny and I was tiptoeing. And he said, Oh, Russ, I can see you in there. I can see your spirit, man. But I didn't say anything. I went and hid around the corner on the other side of the room behind a chair. He said, Russell, I can see you crouching down behind the chair. I want to talk. Come on, Russell. But what really got my attention was where I ended up going into the full-time ministry was a church called New Wine. And my father in the faith that I've been with now for 32 years, 33 years, is Dwayne Tracy. And I had just started going to that church as a 19-year-old Bible college student. And I invited Tiny to go with me. And we drove 45 minutes from downtown Dallas to Fort Worth to where the church was. I never told him the name of the church and I never told him the name of the pastor. But as we took the exit that you would take to go to the church, he said, Do you know who New Wine and Dwayne Tracy is? I just saw two principalities, two big devils saying, We got to get out of here. Dwayne Tracy's preaching at New Wine this morning. That caught my attention. But that night when I became fully persuaded, was we were on the drive home, 45 minutes from Fort Worth to downtown Dallas to Bible school. And he got really, really quiet and tears became to stream down his face. And he said, I just saw two people go to hell. I saw the death angels come and collect them. I didn't even know what that meant. And about 10 minutes down the road, the freeway was closed and there was just lights everywhere. And we drove past this Jeep, and I'll never forget it. The entire windshield was shattered but intact, but with two holes in the center where two people had not been wearing seatbelts and had been projected from the car. And then just right beyond there was the coroner, and there were two of those, whatever they call that, were they gurneys, and there were two bodies in black body bags. And Tiny saw that 10 minutes ahead of time. He he got my attention to the realities of what's in the spirit and what we carry. And that put me on a quest to find out how do you grow what you carry in your spirit. He told me that when he went to Africa, T. L Osborne was still alive. And when T.L. Osborne took the stage, his spirit man was bigger than the entire state that they were in in the continent of Africa. And I just said, God, I want that. I want that. Because even though the Bible declares that by position we are all seated with Christ in heavenly places, maybe there are levels to this game, and we are not all in the same place in the spirit. But I'm in a room with people that they really long to do something for the Lord Jesus with all this on the inside of them. And I'm telling you, it only comes by getting engaged with what you carry on the inside and growing that and learning to flow with that and everything you ever desired, no matter where God called you, it's that. It's not here, it's here. Yes.

Time Miracles And Higher Levels

SPEAKER_00 28:18

And six months ago when I was in India, I was in a room with an apostle that carries real New Testament power. He's gonna be at the North Tetches Revival Center August the 27th through the 30th. And I'll be I'll be back here before then, and I'm gonna invite all of you if you want to come, I'll get you special seating. You know, we talked about men like Smith Whittlesworth and John G. Lake and A.A. Allen and Catherine Kuhlman and Amy Simple McPherson, but I have met someone who's carrying that kind of power or more on planet Earth, and we're bringing him from India to North Texas just to impart to ministers. And I invite you to come. But I was in his meetings when he called up 10 people and they were all wearing watches, and he was talking about God, God, God has the ability to reset the timetables of your life. You may have wasted and squandered years and years because you let what your mama or your daddy said cap what you thought you were capable of, or you have a jerk for a spouse who's always talking down to you and not encouraging you. Something happened and you stopped really going for it. And you're living so far below what you know God called you to. This is most people in God's reality, especially ministers. And so I'm in this meeting in India, and he's talking about God can actually reset your timetables. And you could have squandered 20 years, and God will reset the timetables of your life in 20 minutes, like you never missed it. I'd never heard that. I mean, I know it by concept, I've never heard anybody articulate it with such confidence. And he said, and the Lord's gonna give us a sign and wonder to show us that it's possible. And he called up 10 men and he said, I'm telling you, look at your watches. In the name of Jesus Christ, every watch stopped. And all 10 men's watches completely stopped. Electronic, mechanical, uh, running on a battery, or one like this that runs automatic from the motion of your body, everyone stopped. And he said, as a sign and wonder, in the name of Jesus Christ, every watch resumed. And they all started again. God does that. And when I left that meeting after something else that happened, where we actually traveled through time, and it's more than I can tell you about. But I brought this watch because God told me there would be a time miracle. And he had something far better than me being called out and God stopping my watch and starting it again. I physically saw this watch spring forward in time. This is an expensive watch, and it's still messed up to this day because I think I think that instead of it going, it supernaturally wound all the springs. This is like that 37 Joule movement. I kid you not, I'm having to reset it all the time. But I watched us travel through time. And as I left that meeting that night, all the preachers that were in the car, we couldn't say a single word. We had just lived through a miracle like the floating of the axe head. We we had just lived through a miracle, like if we had saw the Red Sea part and walked through on dry land. It was that kind. We we literally all were transported through time, 1,500 of us together. Every clock, every watch, every iPhone, every timeting device moved at the same time forward in time. That's supernatural. So we got in the car to go back to the place where we were staying, and none of us could say a word. The presence of God was so strong. I've always known that God could defy the law of physics. Every miracle that we see, and we see so many in physical bodies, that defies the natural order and the natural law. God brings his super and it overwhelms the natural realm. But when we were in the car, nobody wanted to talk. And nobody wanted to be the person to like crack a joke or say anything, right? Because it was so holy. But all I did is I just raised both hands and I said, This is not real spiritual. I said, There are levels to this game, and I'm going higher. And then the power of God broke out in that car, and we all began to just weep uncontrollably. There are levels to this game, but this isn't just some sweaty, loud preacher saying this. Ezekiel chapter 47 shows us that in the river of God's presence, there's different levels, and people are in different places in the spirit.

Ezekiel’s River And Going Deeper

SPEAKER_00 32:50

By position, we are seated with Christ in heavenly places. But by placement, our choices, there are people that are ankle deep. And the deep frustration that most ministers have is because you were created by God to be in over your head, raising the dead, casting out devils, every single person you lock eyes with, you've got revelation, knowledge about. I mean, you are a walking, talking, fire-breathing encounter with God. But you got to be in over your head in the spirit to walk in that realm. And many of God's people, they're they're at a different level. So without turning there, if if Pastor Will was here, he'd teach the whole thing and it'd be awesome. I'm gonna just describe it. Ezekiel chapter 47, the angel of the Lord comes, he appears as a figure of bronze, and he comes to Ezekiel and he takes him to the river, which is the river of the presence of God teeming with life. And he shows him the river where he is ankle deep in the river of God, and then he goes down a thousand cubits, and then he shows him that the river increases in depth and that it's knee deep, and then another thousand cubits, and then he's waist deep, and then another thousand cubits, and he's in over his head. This is a picture for us of our journey in God. And my friends, I started with Ecclesiastes 7. The end of a thing is greater than the beginning. You you may have started ankle deep in the ministry, you may be waist deep today, but the cry of your heart is to be in over your head. But most of God's people, even ministers, they honestly don't know how to get there. And if it could come by going to awesome revival meetings and having hands laid on you, baby, we'd be there already. At the same time, if it would come through faithful study of God's word and having daily quiet times and a prayer list and a confession list and being given to fasting and intercession, well, we'd be there already. This thing is a work of the Spirit of God in our hearts as we respond to God calling us deeper. And what we love to do is we love to read about the great men and women of history and we want to mimic their lives. Is a young Bible college student? I went to college days. You know what college days is? That's where you go check out a campus before you actually enroll. Well, I was, I was, um, went to Christ for the nations on college days. My mom and dad paid for it. It was three days and two nights. Well, the Lord had me, by his providence, go to the bookstore as I got onto campus. I'd never seen a charismatic Holy Ghost bookstore. I'd seen like Joshua's Christian bookstore with all the Southern Baptists and all the Catholic, I mean, just everything, right? But I finally got to the Christ for the nations bookstore, and it was only things about the Spirit of God. And they had a whole section on biographies. And my eyes were caught on this weird name, Wigglesworth. Wigglesworth! And I bought Apostle of Faith, and I made the I made the grave error of opening that thing. I never made it to Talvage Days. I was on campus for three days and two nights. I was in the park at Christ for the Nations reading Apostle of Faith, didn't participate in hardly any of the activities, and God grabbed my heart and said, This is the life I've destined for you. I'd never heard that amputated limbs should grow out when you prayed for them. I was in assemblies of God, assemblies of Oh My God Church, where if somebody had a headache or a backache, sometimes they felt better. And we all rejoiced and ran around the place like stage four cancer, it disappeared. Well, praise the Lord. I mean, if you've got a headache or a backache, praise the Lord that it goes, right? But there's levels to this game. There's levels to this gang. And something grabbed a hold of my heart. So I said, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna find exactly what Smith Wigglesworth did, and I'm doing that. So I read that he would get up and dance before the Lord for the first 15 minutes every morning, and I've got zero moves. I mean, I had I have zero moves as far as dance. But I would get up in the morning in my boxers, that may be too much information, and I would dance before the Lord for 15 minutes. Then I read that a whole season of his life at three o'clock in the morning, he would get up and have communion. So I went and bought a little thing of Welch's grape juice. Didn't know that after you opened it, you had to refrigerate it. So it ended up becoming new wine. But I opened up a little bottle of grape juice and a bunch of rich crackers, and I had communion every morning at 3 a.m. And those things helped me. Those things they they did, they strengthened me. But amputated limbs weren't growing out. There was no measurable increase of the anointing on my life. And then I was walking across campus at Christ for the Nations, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a row of people fall down. And I, just like a magnet to steel, I was drawn over there. I said, What in the world is that? I had only seen Benny Hint on TV and I'd seen people fall. And I went over there, and there was a 16-year-old girl that had been granted early admittance to Christ for the nations, and she had grabbed a hold of an anointing, and every person she got in close proximity to would fall out and begin to laugh uncontrollably in the spirit. And I said, God, so I went right up to her. Again, I'm a little on the spectrum. You know, I don't know, I don't really have any restraint. I grabbed her, I scared the life out of her. I'm this big guy and she's this frail little girl. See, I grabbed her. I said, How did you get this power? And she just looked at me and she said, I gave myself to it. She knew some things at 16. She said, I gave myself to it. I say, Where do you go to church? And she said, It's 45 minutes from here. It's called New Wine. And so I went to church the next morning, and I've been at with part of that church and with that man of God as my father and the faith for since 1993. And I learned some things about the anointing. But I haven't even scratched the surface of what God put me on the earth for. And I gave up a long time ago trying to pattern and mimic anybody else's journey in God. I'm in a competition with no one. You know, men of God and women of God are the most insecure people on planet earth. Everybody's comparing themselves, the size of their ministry, the kinds of miracles, the money, the crowds, the influence, the followers. I mean, everybody's comparing themselves. Paul said it's unwise to compare yourselves. We're in a competition with no one. You know what? We're in a competition with ourselves. How much can I die and be alive to the Spirit of God on planet earth? There are levels to this game.

Why Live As Mere Men

SPEAKER_00 39:58

Yes. First Corinthians chapter 3, verse 3. Paul says this. In context, which I know most charismatic Pentecostals don't care about, but in context, he's actually talking to a church that is divided into sects, not S E X, S-E-C-T-S. And they're saying, I'm of Paul, I'm of Apollos, right? I'm in the body of Christ, I'm a Holy Ghost man, and I'm of Rodney Howard Brown. That's my stream, that's my tribe. But other people, they're with David Oyadepo, or they're with Benny Hinn, or they're with Andrew Walmart. We we love to have our little tribes. And Paul, he writes to the Corinthian church in 1 Corinthians 3, 3, and he said, Why do you live as mere men? That jumped off the page to me. Why do you live as mere men? I may look like everybody else, but I'm not like everybody else. I might be a 51-year-old man, white, balding, overweight. That may be you describing my condition. I may look like a bunch of other 51-year-olds on planet earth, but baby, what I carry on the inside of me makes me very unlike the other people that look like me. And you're the same way. So why do we walk as mere men when we are filled with God? Ephesians 3 19. I made fun of people for writing down scriptures in my meetings, but this will be one to write down. Ephesians chapter 3, verse 19 says that you are filled and flooded with God Himself. But is that your reality when you're walking through the grocery store? Is that your reality as you're interacting with your family? Dare I even say, in your marriage and with your kids and grandkids, that they interact with you and they only see a person who's filled and flooded with God Himself. That is what the earth is crying out for is for a people that are walking in the reality that they are filled and flooded with God Himself. So you say, Russell, you're describing my hunger, you're describing the cry of my heart, but how do I get there? So this has been the pursuit of my life. How do we get there? The guy we're bringing in from India, he sees amputated limbs grow back. I've been in meetings with people that were there with him when a person with the severed leg at the hip and the leg grew back in the course of 30 minutes in the meeting. So it's great to bring those people here. It's great to have hands laid on us. I'm doing it, I'm for it. We can clearly see from Paul and Timothy that there's impartation that comes as men and women of God lay hands on us. I'm gonna offer to do it to some of you today. But if it came by impartation, we'd be there already. Yes. Right? So I've given my life to this. All creation is groaning for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God, that somebody on planet earth will grab a hold of what's available in God and manifest it to the earth.

Power Revival And Global Mission

SPEAKER_00 43:20

This revival that's in the earth today is not like the revival of the 1990s where God was pouring out his spirit and the new wine was being poured out across the earth. This revival that is in its earliest stages on planet earth is a revival of the power of God that's gonna grab a hold of the consciousness of a lost and dying world, and they will not be able to deny that there's a greater power present on planet earth, and his name is the Lord Jesus Christ. I was preaching in Dallas, was telling you guys about preaching, and I fell out while I was preaching, and I stood up, and as I gained my composure. I prophesied. We're moving back to the Metroplex. In that same meeting, I was caught into the office of the head of ontology at UT Southwest Hospital. And it said, Head of Research Ontology. And I saw an encounter that will happen in the city of Dallas, where someone sits in his office and he says, There's nothing more that we can do for you. But he opened up his desk drawer and he pulled out a card. And it was a church called the House of Miracles. And he said, But I've seen people do what medical science cannot do. And that atheist heathen head of oncology has to acknowledge there's a power greater, and his name is the Lord Jesus Christ. And that power does not move sovereignly, it moves be under in the lives of hungry men and women that have given themselves to it. But can I tell you, if you can live with less on planet earth, then you will. My ministry is where it is because I've been willing to live without being in over my head in the river of God. But I am done. In your ministries, your marriages, your health, it looks the way that it does because you have been willing to allow that. But when you are unwilling to live on planet earth in a lower portion than you were created for, you will go there in the spirit and you will have the cry of your heart.

unknown 45:42

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 45:45

And less than a month ago, when I had the greatest encounter with God of my life, and he audibly said, Break free. I have broken free from all of the traditions, all the things that I look at. I thought I had a blueprint for what my ministry would look like. I have abandoned everything, and my only focus on planet Earth is to get in over my head in the river of God and be a walking, talking, fire-breathing encounter with God everywhere that I go. And you may look at my ministry today, but I promise you, this is the lowest the anointing will ever be in my life. I have given myself to this, and I can feel hunger stirring in this room. And I'm telling you, some of you, this is your answer. To give yourself over completely to the Spirit of God and say, take me there. Yesterday's portion is great as it's been. It's not enough. Take me there, Holy Ghost. Yes. I stood in Rajasthan under the penalty of death on an open field, and I told them that there's no such thing as Allah. He's a fallen demon God worshipped by men that has no power. That there is no God of Buddha, just a false, fallen, demonic God that men worship that has no power. And I said, I'm gonna demonstrate the power of the risen Christ, and every single person we prayed for was instantly healed. And there's not an Indian God, an Indian Jesus. There's not a Cypress Texas God and a Cypress touches Jesus. There's just the Son of the Living God risen in power, and he's looking to pour himself out in hungry men and women. Yes, this is your answer. This is your answer for your life and ministry is to give yourself to the anointing utterly and completely, and whatever it looks like for you, the price will be worth it. You can't read enough, study enough, confess enough, you can't watch enough podcast enough. This is an individual journey. You may do all of those things. I do, but I'm not trying to follow anybody's formula. I'm just saying, God, what do you say is possible? What do you say is possible? And I'm going there. And if nobody in my generation will go there, you have found somebody who will. And only things that are eternal will remain. Our spouses will be nowhere around. Our children and grandchildren, as awesome as they are, will be nowhere around. My wife's name is Belinda, and we have this talk all the time. Belinda Lorfing, I was put on the earth to help you fulfill your destiny. You were put on the earth to be one with me and help me fulfill my destiny. But if you're not gonna fulfill your destiny, I am. If you're not gonna run after Jesus with all your heart, I am. And praise God, I've got a wife who's running the same direction as me. But I'm telling you, if she wasn't, I wouldn't back up an inch. I wasn't even planning to preach on this. I wanted to just talk real nice about Ezekiel 47 and giving yourselves to, yeah. Jesus. This gospel has been entrusted to us. Jesus is the hope of the world. Okay? But if he wanted to convert every person on the earth and reach them with the gospel, he could transform the night sky into the largest high-definition monitor, a bazillion K, and show the entire earth, the passion film all at the same time, or the Jesus film all at the same time. He doesn't, he has entrusted the gospel to us. And I don't care how this flies with your theology, if you disagree, you're wronged and I'm right. The return of the Lord Jesus is entirely dependent on the entire earth hearing the gospel. Jesus said, This gospel shall be preached to the ends of the earth, and then the end shall come. As we stand here today, as Holy Ghost people, with the presence of God that feels so wonderful in here, praise the Lord. There's three billion people on this planet that have never heard the gospel, they've never even heard the name of Jesus, they don't know a Christian, and there is no church. We have been entrusted with this gospel. And with all due respect to the Baptist, if handing somebody a paper tract with the four spiritual laws was going to get it done, we'd have this thing done a long time ago. We got to have men and women filled with the Spirit of God demonstrating the risen Christ. The book of Acts is 28 chapters. I read it every month of my life with very few exceptions. You can take less than 10 minutes a day and read a chapter in the book of Acts. That's the blueprint for all New Testament ministry. It's supernatural. It's men and women filled with the Spirit of God overriding the natural order by what they carry, by God Himself confirming the words of their mouth. Where is that in the American church? The church I'm standing in right now, they see miracles here. They see undeniable miracles here. One of the greatest men of God, in my opinion, on planet earth is seated right here. But as awesome as this place is, most of Cyprus doesn't know that it's here. As much as I've given myself to this pursuit of God, what impact am I really making? It's gonna take all of God's people catching fire, it's gonna take all of God's people filled with the Spirit of God, manifesting his love by manifesting his power. Yes, hallelujah. Acts chapter 1, verse 8 says that you shall receive miracle-working power. After that, the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Where is it in our generation? I'm telling you, it the problem is not with God, the problem is a church that doesn't understand how to give themselves completely over to the Spirit of God. Most people think they're doing good. They come to church on Sunday mornings. Then you got a few that come to church on Sunday nights, and even a smaller few that come to church on Wednesday nights. I'm doing a series on Wednesdays. I have a pastor friend whose wife is going through cancer. And so I've moved my schedule around and I'm there like almost every Wednesday until she's completely her healing's manifested. And I tell them all the time, I was put on the earth to preach to Wednesday night Christians. Sunday morning Christians, not so much. Wednesday night Christians, that's my tribe. But guess what? This is a Sunday morning, but y'all are most definitely Wednesday night Christians. Hallelujah. So, in summary of my three points in a poem, I want to provoke you by the Spirit of God, like never before, to give yourself completely over to the Holy Ghost. He's not withholding any answers from you. But I'm telling you that if your ministry, your marriage, your finances, your health, if they're not advancing, there's a problem. And all of us walk through challenges, Jesus assured. But if this thing is endured for years, if this thing is stretched on for decades, there is a coarse correction to be made in the Holy Ghost. And God Himself, He'll take 20 years and adjust it in 20 minutes. This is what He does.

Personal Pursuit That Reorders Life

SPEAKER_00 55:01

In my left ear, I hear this phrase. Personal pursuit. Personal pursuit. Personal pursuit. It'll look different for you than it even does your spouse. It'll look different for you than it does your kids. But you actually go to God and say, the world says I need eight hours of sleep. The world says I need three meals a day. The world says I need to take supplements because I don't have enough, you know, vitamin C or whatever. But what do you say? My day, my life, even my sleep, my waking hours belong to you. And if everything that I'm doing was gonna get me there, I would be there already. The devil doesn't have enough power to hinder you for years. This is a course correction issue for God's people. Yes. And God's not withholding any answers from you. I promise. The Lord told me most of my children have never spent more than three hours with me. And this isn't an endurance contest, but you could watch what's a movie that takes three hours. I don't watch movies. Lord of the Rings. My kids have tried to get me to watch it. It's like three hours. I've never made it through without falling asleep. So gay. Just not my thing. Just not my thing. But people can sit and watch a movie for three hours. I was just I just saw something that people will watch Netflix on average five episodes at a time of a stupid TV show. But God told me very few of my children can actually just take three hours and spend with me. Nothing magic about three hours. It's about just getting still and hearing God. And the next step of your life to get you into the fast lane. It comes from the Holy Ghost. You're here on Sunday morning. Good on you. Good on you. But the Holy Ghost is going to be there on Tuesday morning and on Thursday afternoon and at 1:30 in the morning on Saturday. He wants you to have the things that he's put in your heart. God's word declares that the end of a thing is better than the beginning. So many of you have seen so much. You have seen God do so much in your life, in your ministry, in your marriage, but the end of this thing far exceeds anything you've ever seen before. But I promise you this, and I'm closing, I think. If Monday morning looks like every other Monday morning, you're about to have another week like you've always had. I'm putting no burden on you at all. In fact, this will take burdens off of you. But if your Thursday morning looks like every other Thursday morning has for the last five years, a year from now you'll still be talking about this thing that burns on the inside of you. But where is it? God forbid that in America we actually push back the plate and actually say, I'm not gonna take any food into this body, and I'm just gonna say you're the most important thing in my world. And I'll drink some water. If I get dizzy, I'll sip a little juice. But I'm gonna push back the plate until I know I've heard from heaven, and then I'm gonna run. Yes. This is the heart of God. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Every hand lifted to heaven. Father, in Jesus' name. I told you as I pulled into this parking lot, please, Lord, just speak through me today. Lord, you know who's coming to this building. Please give them what they desperately need so they can have your best. Father, I thank you for letting this settle down deep, deep, deep into their spirits. Lord, I thank you for bringing correction where it's needed. Father, don't let a single person be in the same place 30 days from now. Lord, there are worldwide ministries waiting to spring forth. Oh, there are daughters of God here that are destined to be mothers in the spirit with hundreds and even thousands of people under their influence. Father, don't let this be just another week. Lord, for those that are hungry, for those that are hungry, Lord, I'm asking you, let that dissatisfaction stir in them to a level that it provokes change. Father, right now at 1207 in the afternoon in Cyprus, Texas, would you speak to our hearts undeniably and show us what needs to change? Oh, thank you, my father. Glory to God. One more thing, then I'm closing. I promise. Some of you here, you're already the most spiritual person in your world. Like you're surrounded by people that they don't love God the same way that you do, and the things of the kingdom, they don't matter as much to the people that are around you in your orbit. They're willing to live in a much lower portion. I want to tell you this from the Spirit of God. Just have received freedom from God to be as radical as your heart desires for God. And just go ahead and be willing to be called crazy by the people around you. Be willing to have some people that don't understand you, that don't want to hang out with you because all the nonsense and the base things of life that they want to talk about, they just don't satisfy you anymore. Give yourself permission to be profoundly spiritual. Every person here is born again in this building. Not a single person here that's not born again. I'm telling you what I know in the spirit. If you think something different, you're wrong. Every person in this building loves God at varying levels. Galatians chapter 6, verse 1 says something very interesting. That if someone is caught in a fault speaking to Christians, you who are spiritual, restore such a one. You can actually be a Christian but not be spiritual. And this is the answer for some people here. You're a Christian, but you're not spiritual. You're an American 2026 Christian. You love God. Maybe you listen to, I don't know, the radio station. Are we still have in? I'm in Houston. KSBJ. Maybe you listen to KSBJ or Air One. Maybe you put on, you know, Brandon Lake or, you know, Apple Music or Spotify. But you're not really spiritual. You're a Christian. Your name's written in the Lamb Book of Life, but you're not really spiritual. Can I tell you that the cry of your heart is to be profoundly spiritual, to never be out of contact with God, to always hear his voice speaking, to always feel his presence about you. Yes. I'll tell them. Some of you are gonna come out of this meeting, and when I pray in a minute, you're gonna feel the tangible presence of God come onto your body. And over the next two days, you're gonna get around people and you're gonna feel it lift. And those people are not for you. Those people are actually a problem. And it's gonna be like a divine litmus test that God's gonna give you. And I see in the spirit it's tending into Tuesday. Watch and see. There are people that look good on the outside, but what they carry on the inside is actually a problem for you. Be willing to let them go. I'm telling you that everything you desire is if it's in the river of God when you're over your head. That two-word phrase I heard from God, pinch yourself. God wants you to look at your life and literally have to pinch yourself and say, Can this world, can this life even be real? That's how I feel. Even with my small ministry and my small anointing, that's still a lot bigger than a lot of ministries and anointings on earth. But as small as I am today is not where I'm staying. But I still have to pinch myself. I got up this morning after some friends of mine kept me up late. Just kidding. I got up after after being up most of the night praying, and I was excited to come to Cyprus, Texas. And I've got to pinch myself to be here at the great William Brockers Church ministering to hungry ministers of the Lord Jesus Christ. God is going to take you to the deeper realms of the spirit if you'll just give yourself to it utterly and completely. Wouldn't it be the worst idea to say the way that I've been living, I'm not living that way for a season because that's not taking me where I want to go. And there's not enough power in hell to oppose you for so many years or decades. Now, this is not white belt Christianity that we're talking about. This is black belt level Christianity. This this meeting, if there were a bunch of young believers here, a bunch of lost people would have looked completely different. There's all ministers of the gospel here. Yes. I mean, I'm looking everywhere. Is that this so many? Everyone's called by God here. Yes, with very, very few exceptions. This is black belt level Christianity. But my son is a black belt, but then he's he's quick to correct me. No, Dad, I'm a second degree black belt. And he said, and I'm gonna get there and then I'm gonna be a third degree black belt. And I told you I was done, but can I have five more minutes?

unknown 1:04:51

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:53

I'm gonna have them anyway. This is about seventh degree black belt Christianity.

A Completely Different Way To Live

SPEAKER_00 1:05:00

I want to tell you about something. I heard this phrase from God, and I've only shared it one time. And I'm gonna share it again right now, and then I'm closing the meeting. I was crying out to God about the state of the American church because I minister every day of my life. I'm ministering somewhere to someone, I'm in front of God's people or I'm on the phone. I mean, this is my world. I'm completely all in for the kingdom of God. But I see the state of the American church, and I'm a leader in the American church, and my heart breaks for it, and I get to be in the tiny little sliver of the Holy Ghost part of the American church. But God doesn't just have the Holy Ghost sliver, He's got the whole thing, and the whole church belongs to the Lord Jesus, and he said, I, the Lord Jesus, I'm gonna build my church, and we're not resembling him. So I'm trying out to God. What do we do about the American church? And I heard this audible phrase, and I've only shared this one other time. And if this Don't line up with this book, then I'm false. I'm off. No problem. This is the most sure word of prophecy. We agree. I'm giving you revelation that you better be able to back up in this word, right? I heard this phrase in my left ear. A completely different way to live. The only way the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is gonna resemble him and actually turn this nation in less than 30 days, which is going to happen in the future. This entire nation is gonna flip in a span of 30 days. You'll watch and see. I saw a little church in Tennessee that doesn't seed 100 people that'll have 10,000 people on its grounds as revivals poured out in every large town, small town, I mean in Podunk Holler, wherever that is, it's gonna be a move of the Holy Ghost in America, but it doesn't come sovereignly, it comes the hungry men and women are unwilling to get up and preach their normal messages and dismiss. But I heard this from God, a completely different way to live. And I submit this to you, my friends. Is it possible that the thing that your heart cries out for requires a completely different way to live than you live right now? You're not in sin, you love God. Even your compromise, most people would look at and go, really? That's what you're concerned about? Really? There's not people here living in gross sin. But what if that cry of your heart requires a completely different way to live? Would you let the Holy Ghost take you there? Would you let your daily reality and even your schedule look different? Because you say, I may be waist deep in the river, I may deep knee deep in the river, I may be deeper than everybody else in my world, but my heart is crying out that I would manifest the Lord Jesus Christ to this world. And I'm not doing that in its fullness now. I did this to you in the fear of the Lord, a completely different way to live. That's the journey that I'm on. And I believe there's something here for you in the Holy Ghost. Amen. All right. Have you been stirred this morning? All right. You know, sometimes we shout, sometimes we run around this place, sometimes we just prophesy to everything that moves, and we're still gonna do a bunch of that. But um, I I felt this in my toenails that God wants to stir you. That the end of a thing is better than the beginning, but it does mean that our life has to change. Yes. This is not a war of attrition, we're not in an endurance race to see how much longer we can just put up with this thing, and then someday everything's gonna change. That won't get it, my friends. Amen. All right, okay, I'm gonna close the service and then I'm gonna open up

Healing Prayer And Giving To Go

SPEAKER_00 1:09:02

the altars. The Lord told me for all of 2026, don't end a meeting without addressing the sickness that's in the room. Not a single person has to leave here, sick, carrying the diseases that you walked in with. Less than 10 days ago in the city of Tampa, I got the results of an entire workup for my body. And the last year has been the hardest year I've ever known as far as physical symptoms. I thought I was dying in India. I didn't know if I was gonna be able to make it back, preaching in 100-degree heat. But they did a full workup on my body. I've been staying in faith. I've never once spoken any of the things that all the people were saying. And they did a full workup on my heart, and I have the heart of a 23-year-old. I've got this enlarged stained over here. I let them go do a biopsy. I told them it's not necessary. I told them it's not cancer, but they came back and said, nope, it's not cancer. It's completely benign, it'll resolve, you know. And then the enemy, I no one knows this. I've had to, I've been unable to speak most days that I'm not preaching. I've had something going on with my throat for the last year. And under the anointing, when the power of God comes into my hands within about two hours of ministering before I get up to preach, that same power would strengthen my voice. And the enemy's been telling me that it was cancer and he was going to take my throat. And one of my heroes in the faith, he lost his ministry because the enemy took out his throat. And I've had to live with that defeated, effeminate, loser devil trying to get me into fear for the last year. So at my wife's great prodding, I went to this thing called an E and T and they they put a camera down and they said, if there's something there, we'll be able to see it. And they looked, and my vocal cords are fine. They're fine. You know what it is? You know what it is? I moved from Tampa to Dallas, and for the first time in my life, I developed allergies. And all of the back of my throat is enlarged, and under the anointing, it shrinks. And outside of the anointing, they want me to sniff this trap every day. I said, I'll do it for 30 days and never again. And you'll see, I'll be completely healed. But see, the devil's a loser. He's a loser. And I'm just testifying that if if the healing power of God will do to work in this body, it'll do to work in your body. Too, Romans 2, 11, God is no respecter of persons. Amen. Hallelujah. All right. Well, we're done quickly, we're gonna take up an offering for power of God. If you gave the grace in truth and you ain't got any more money, no pressure. If you don't want to give the power of God, no pressure. But in less than four weeks, I'm gonna stand on an open field in Pakistan, surrounded by military dudes with AK-47s, and we're gonna preach this glorious gospel, and you can go with me. You actually don't have to get on an airplane and go to Pakistan and risk your life for the gospel. You can just send me and we can all share in the same reward. All right? I mean it. So if you want to sow into that trip and thank you for those of you like that they've been in the meetings this week, thank you for your giving. You're under no pressure, but you can stand that QR code, text power of God to 77977. But we take old-fashioned cash checks and all that kind of good stuff too. I'll tell you this, I don't know how it's gonna happen, but when I step on the plane to leave for Islamabad Pakistan, every bill will be paid. I promise you, the budgets will be met. I don't know why God does this. Two days before we left for India, all the budgets were met. I don't know why God waits. I don't think there's a problem with God. I think I was willing, I think I was willing to allow it to be two days before India. I think God wants us to have so much money that we don't have to worry about doing anything. I really believe that with all my heart. Amen. But if you want to sow into the trip, that's the way that you do it? Will God bless you? Guaranteed. If God won't give you a hundredfold increase on what you give up for the gospel's sake, then his word is false. And as I tell my son all the time, the entire universe would implode upon itself because he upholds all the creation by the word of his power. Amen? Hallelujah. I'm gonna open up the altars and I'm gonna minister to people and I want to minister to you, if that would be okay.

Sure.

All right, praise the Lord. And anyone else that desires ministry, if your heart has been stirred, I'm gonna ask you, will you take this to the secret place of God's presence and ask the Lord, is there three degrees in my life? And ask the Lord, is my life a candidate for a completely different way to live? And just respond to whatever the Holy Ghost says. And something else about God is that if you miss it the first time, he has no trouble repeating himself. I think it's Psalm 64, 11 that says, Once God spoke, but twice I heard that power belongs to God. He knows we gotta hear it. Yes. Amen. Praise the Lord. All right. Anyone else need the QR code? Are you good? All right, can we put on this blood? I asked you this every time. Is it there? Upper room, this blood live spontaneous. We'll put it on. It's my favorite song. And then I'm gonna open up the altars. If you came here, hey, let's not mix up the offerings. Um, what can we do, Pastor Will? They've got uh your stuff. Can you help Barbara? Thank you. Thank you. Praise the Lord. Thank you, Jesus. I don't want you to leave here sick. Jesus doesn't want you to leave here sick. Praise the Lord. I'm so happy. I tried out to the Lord to see Africa-style miracles in America, and we're seeing them. I mean, we're seeing baseball-sized tumors disappear in the meetings. Oh, yeah. And then we pay to let people go and have their scans so we can show people the power of God. Every miracle can be verified. Amen. Don't have to take it by faith. Praise the Lord. All right, we got some music, Joey? All right. Okay. That'll work. It's very good. All right. Hey, listen, if you came and your heart was stirred and you desire, I want to pray for you, my friend, okay? If your heart was stirred, I want to just minister to you. All right, let me guzzle a bottle of water, pop some gum, and I'm gonna pray. Is that alright? Okay. I'm gonna be back in Montgomery. Thank you. Uh
