02 Divine Invasion - Tom Scarrella 2019

[Music] all right well praise the Lord I'm gonna try something new something new they say is good huh so this morning I'm just gonna I want you to grab your Bibles and I want you to do this I want you to go to a couple of different places once you go over to the book of Hebrews chapter one so Hebrews chapter one whoops there it is you know it was funny this morning I I woke up and I had something going in my spirit and I just knew the Holy Spirit was speaking to me about some different things to share this morning and and so as he was I'd never thought of it like this and this is what I saw in when I woke up this morning I saw this I don't know if you can all see that three elements of a fire right so the three elements of a fire you have to have these three elements or you do not have fire you got to have oxygen you got to have heat and you got to have fuel right you gotta have those three things otherwise there's no fire you have to have all three of them and in I'm I've talked to many firefighters and most firefighters will say this is that fires not a thing fires an event of those three things coming together right so you got to have those three things you got to have fuel you got to have heat and you got to have oxygen and then the Holy Spirit began to minister this to me this morning was this is is you got to have the word yes the word is the fuel come on right you got to have the word that's why you know many many people who don't have the word they just eventually fall off and there they lose the fire and everything else because there can't be a fire all the fire fire has to do to put out a fire is to take away one of those three that's all he's got to do is take away one of those three and the fire goes out right because the fire is the event right and so this is what the Lord began to minister to me so number one the fuel is the word the oxygen is the spirit right so you got to have the spirit you got to have the flow of the spirit as well equally as much right you can't have just word but you have to have the move of the Spirit you have to have the flow of this spirit okay but then lastly you also have to have heat and this is what he ministered to me was out of the Book of Isaiah he said you shall go out with come on help me Church joy right and so joy becomes the heat that ignites that's the igniter of this thing right and many people what it what has happened is is when they first come into a revelation so they get a revelation the spirit in the word they come together and they get a revelation whether it's divine healing whether it's hearing God's voice whatever it might be whatever the revelation is and so they have those two but if they lose the joy once you if you lose the joy then you lose the fire come on right I mean and that's why the Bible talks about joy a lot the joy of the Lord is our strength the Bible talks about joy being a fruit of the Spirit right and so joy has come under major attack over the last 20 years you know in the in the 90s you had different revivals breakout and and joy would break out in meetings and some people got upset I mean I never could figure that out joy in church makes you mad okay let me I just can't figure that one I'm still trying to work on that one it's kind of like wow okay but so there's something with joy because joy will propel you joy is the propellor joy is the heat it's the ignition thing and so you know for there to be in an invasion there's got to be it's got to be a joy of the Lord that ignites that thing right so you got the word praise God that's good you got great doctrine you got great word you got a great understanding you have great revelation you understand you start to encounter in in times with the holy spirit right it's important I mean salvations and experienced some people say I don't believe in experience as well salvation is an experience it's not just a doctor and it's an experience come on right I mean baptism of the Holy Spirit is an experience come on right so these things are our necessities right but then also you've got to throw in the joy so I don't know who that's for this morning but that has nothing to do with what I'm preaching so if you want to work it in you can alright but so a hebrews chapter 1 so hebrews chapter 1 says it like this God who at various times in various ways spoke in times past right everyone say he spoke so God spoke okay so God spoke in times past and to the father's by the prophets has in these last days spoken to us right by his son whom he is has a appointed heir of all things sir whom he also made the world's who being the brightness of his glory and the Express image of his person upholding all things by the word of his power when he had by himself purged our sins sat down on the right hand of Majesty on high having become so much better than the Angels that's why when people overemphasize angels it's like I don't I I liken it to this I liken it to you know the president has Secret Service people no one runs around goes I saw a Secret Service person right I mean well yeah they're there but they're just protecting the president you understand they're not the emphasis and so he says so having become so much better than the Angels has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they for to which of the Angels did he ever say you are my son and today I have begotten you now BTM a father and he'll be to me a son so God spoke in times past unto the father's by the prophets but now he speaks to us by his Spirit through his son so to speak right and who does he speak to ah he speaks to sons right I know ladies want to say I'm a daughter no you're not a daughter Bible calls you a son if I have to be a bride you got to be a son okay so just suck it up all right and so so here the Bible calls us sons the highest place the highest realm that there is so to speak okay now go back to your left go back to the Book of Numbers I'm gonna give you a lot of scriptures this morning is that okay so numbers chapter 11 mm-hmm chapter 11 verse 25 then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him meaning Moses and took of a spirit that was upon him and placed the same on the seventy elders and it happened that when the spirit rested on them they what they prophesied although they never did so again but the two men remained in the camp the one who was named Eldad the other name was me dead and the spirit rested on them and they were among them listed but who had gone out of the tabernacle yet they prophesied in the camp and a young man ran and told Moses and said Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp little tattletales right and says so Joe Joshua the son of nun Moses assistant one of the choice men answered and said Moses my lord forbid them and Moses said to them are you zealous or jealous for my sake are you jealous for my sake he said he said oh that all the Lord's people were prophets and had the lords put his spirit upon them and Moses returned to the camp and he and the elders of Israel but in that interesting here was Moses heart cry that we would all have the spirit I mean if you're student of the word you know in the Old Testament that the only people that had the spirit was the prophet priest and King right but now here Moses comes and he's crying out to God and he says man I wish that all of God's people had the spirit right because if they all had the spirit then they would begin to hear come on God speak right so so that's their hearts cry that's what they're that's that that's what Moses heart cry was is that they would begin to hear God's voice like the prophet priest and King that was exactly what his heart's cry was now kind of my story is a little different one I went in and I got saved in the early 80s and a guy went and shared Jesus with me and I just got radically saved as a teenager a 16 year old teenager and I just went and douve into the Word of God I mean I just don't the word and I just got filled with the Holy Spirit and and I would just God was just using me as a young man as a young teenager even and so kind of in the midst of that I went and I went to Bible School for about a year year and a half and in Bible school I had the wonderful opportunity to go to work just for the summer I thought for Jim Baker at PTL and so then long story short I ended up getting launched straight into the ministry and so as I was struggling with hearing God's voice I know none of you holy people ever have but I did and so I was really struggling and so I would hear him from time to time but I'd say Lord I want to hear you all the time how many of you want to hear more clearly come on right and that's and so I was you know I was a Kenneth Hagin guy I mean that's who I was I I love the word I love Kenneth Copeland and these guys and and so I listened to them and they the way they talked about it and stuff and it just wasn't completely clicking for for me personally so in 1987 about a year later I went and I was a young youth pastor in New Jersey at the time and I call those the tribulation years but and so but anyways I will and as a young youth pastor I went and kind of it was like a dual position I was a youth pastor / associate and so latter part of 1987 somewhere in there I went and I went and and had gotten a phone call on a Sunday morning it was a winter day it was cold colder than you get here in Portland and it was probably about 10 degrees and so and I wake up early on this Sunday morning and here it's the senior pastor and he said listen the guy who picks people up is gone he didn't tell anybody that he left and so you've got to pick people up for church I mean that's kind of the associate pastors role whatever needs to get done gets done you know and so I was I got in the flesh how many of you have ever been in the flesh oh man we're gonna pray for Liars here this morning I'm telling you right now whew man so I went and I got big-time in the flesh and so as I got in the flesh I was irritated because I had to teach in Sunday school that that morning and and now I got to get up early and I got to go get these people and stuff because this guy didn't hand it off but now looking back it was obviously the but kind of put that on pause but for two weeks before the Holy Spirit began to use a scripture to speak to me I would close my eyes at night to go to sleep and I would see first Corinthians 14:14 you can look at there if you want for us I pray in an unknown tongue my spirit prays my spirit prays everyone say my spirit prays okay but my understanding is unfruitful what is the conclusion then I will pray with the spirit I will pray with you I will pray with the understanding I will pray a sing with the spirit I'll sing with the understanding so for every day for two weeks I would just meditate on that Scripture and I didn't know why but I couldn't go to sleep unless I read that verse so then here comes this Sunday morning right so now here I am in the cold bus my hands are cold on the steering wheel it's cold in there I'm aggravated I'm irritated and back in those days we didn't have Bibles like on electronic devices and so I just had a little Gideon's Bible I just always took it with me and so I had it in my back pocket and so I pull up to the first house and as I pull up to the first house this guy runs out in his boxer shorts and his hairs all crazy goes we overslept give us 20 minutes yeah in his boxer shorts I wanted to slap him until Jesus I did him a favor you know so now I'm really aggravate if I was aggravated before man now I'm really aggravated right okay so I went and I i sat there and I just I just I wasn't praying I was complaining to God I'm I've you ever done so I just started complaining to God about this and about that and I said Lord I'm irritated I'm irritated with these church people I'm irritated with the pastor and I said and I'm irritated with you too and I said God I'm irritated with you too because i'm wanting to speak to me and you're not speaking to me and I just sat there waiting for this guy and all I hear in my head is first Corinthians 14 14 and 15 like I know what that says I've been reading that every day for 14 days now whatever and so I just grab my Bible I open it up and I read it out loud and as soon as I read it out loud I said the words I will pray with the spirit I will pray with the understanding and all of a sudden I heard the Spirit say that is a pattern of praying that you can pray in the spirit and then interpret it to your mind what your spirit was just saying to God or God's message to you come on right is this okay to dive right into this morning is this alright okay so so this is kind of my my journey understand I so I said alright Lord if this is real then I can go ahead and I can practice it and I had two young people that were the pastor's kids that were at a special youth camp and I had to go pick them up that evening and so I went I began to pray in the spirit for the boy and I prayed in the spirit for the girl and so but with the girl what I saw was I had a picture in my mind because sometimes when God speaks to you it's streaming thoughts or pictures right so I had a picture come in my mind and the picture and my mind was I saw the girl in a roller coaster on the bottom stuck and she couldn't get out and then I saw myself say there's three ways for you to get out of your spiritual rut so I go I picked them up I picked the youth up that evening excuse me well the morning service obviously the guy comes I take him to church and his family and and then from there service is over and stuff and I'm still thinking about this encounter with the Lord in in the church bus and so then that night I pick up the youth as I'm picking up the the pastor's kids I picked them up and I'm driving them back home and it's a long drive about hour-and-a-half or something and so in this drive as were there just rejoicing about the things that God did that weekend I thought I missed it so as I'm thinking that in my natural mind I went and I said listen I was praying for you guys and this is what I felt for the boy I tell him and then for the girl I said I saw a vision of you stuck in the bottom of a roller coaster and you can't get out and when I said that it looked like I slapped her in the backseat and she just exploded crying and she said I sat on the edge of my bed this morning and I said to god I feel like I'm on the bottom of a roller coaster and I can't get out come on and I began to prophesy to her and now she's a worship leader in New York City and so yeah woohoo amen in that great amen so so this is kind of some of my journey about in in to hearing God's voice one of the things one other thing and then I'll get back to the word here but one other time with myself I was traveling to minister out in California and I used to live in Oklahoma and so as I used to live in Oklahoma I used to drive almost everywhere I just like the drive and stuff and so very much like pastor curry does and so I was driving from Oklahoma to California and so I was going through Texas into New Mexico or whatever's right there and so as I was leaving West Texas and I was coming through a rainstorm it was a wicked rainstorm and I'm listening to this worship music and so as I'm listening to this worship music I'm coming through this crazy rainstorm and the rain begins to dissipate I'm coming into New Mexico and it was like the the clouds began to break apart and the light the evening light of the Sun began to shine it looked like Ray's kind of breaking through how many of you know I'm talking about you understand what I mean so it looked like Ray's breaking through in the heavens right so as I see this I looked up and I said wow that looks beautiful I said man Lord I said that's gorgeous and as soon as I saw them breaking through one after another I heard God say when you see my light or anointing excuse me when you see my light come on people that is my anointing call those people out on prophesy or minister to those people I was like what I wasn't expecting God to speak then I didn't know God was looking at the sky with me you know what I mean so I'm like wow I said what in and he said it again he said when you see my light rest on people call them out that's my anointing on them now I'll prove it to you it happens to you all the time how many of you have ever gone to sleep and woke up and all of a sudden someone popped in your head raise your hand all over the room right and then how many of you sometimes those people reached out to you on Facebook or whatever it might be a text or whatever anyone ever heard from those people in that same week or something right what was that that was a gift of the Spirit that was triggered in you and you saw the light so to speak of the Holy not a literal light but like a figurative light right or how many times have you gone someplace and someone just stood out to you in a crowd anybody they just stand out to you know nothing nothing they're wearing nothing they're doing it's just they stand out right that's the gifts of the Spirit that that's the that the Spirit of God highlighting that person for you to minister to that person come on right and it happens to you all the time sometimes it happens to you in a song have you ever woke up in the morning and a song was playing in your head raise your hand anybody I had one this morning it's I had to go through the lyrics of the song and I realized oh my word you know here I know exactly what God is saying in the lyrics of that song amen and so sometimes God can speak to you in in those different ways sometimes he'll speak to you I spoke about this when I was here in February in a vision since since we were 8 oh I went back to the New Testament than that sorry go back to numbers numbers 11 y'all okay this morning all right your little quiet kind of making me nervous here all right so numbers numbers 11 again now what does Moses pray what is Moses prayer Moses says it like this oh that all the people all the people were prophets and the Lord would put his spirit upon them now you flip the page in chapter 12 it says verse 6 then he said hear now my words is there a prophet among you I the Lord will make myself known to him what in a vision I will speak to him in a in a dream ah those two things what do we know of Acts chapter 2 when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit Peter said this is that which was spoken by the Prophet Joel and the last day says god I'll pour out my spirit upon all flesh ah that sounds like Moses prayer I'll pour my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters will prophesy so that was the number one mark of the New Testament revival then he said and your old men will and your young men will see visions actually in the actual writing it actually says the old and the young will see visions and dream dreams that's how it literally says it some people are like I guess I'm old because I'm dreaming you know what I mean no it's actually it actually God is actually saying the old and the young we'll both see visions and dream okay so those are the three elements that we see of the New Testament church the New Testament church was marked and launched in all three of those elements now they've unfortunately over the years they can get abused right we've all seen it we've all seen things and but yet we're all growing and we're all learning come on right so we're all growing and we're all learning to move and to flow in the spirit and as we begin to so do where we're going to stretch ourselves in to a place where we come out of our comfort zone because it's kind of like it's kind of like a kid that's gonna go out and he's gonna you know go out in the water he'll go out to where he's comfortable and then that's it right so he'll go to his level level of comfort and usually not beyond that level but guess what spiritual growth happens when you go beyond your spiritual comfort so tickle your neighbor and the ribs this morning make sure they're awake and say to them get out of your comfort zone okay so that's where spiritual growth happens spiritual growth doesn't happen in doing what's comfortable spiritual growth happens in doing the uncomfortable right and the moment you're willing to break through that thing and just go for it I mean you are you know you're you're putting to death of flesh on the one side right and so but on the other side you're also beginning to stretch yourself spiritually sometimes I'll do things just to push myself and others for spiritual growth I'll just use it as a here's a great example we used to have interns that used to travel with us and so I used to have all these interns they would come to Florida when I lived in Florida and my wife and I would have them and they would come and then they would work for the ministry and sometimes we'd take him to travel but they knew if they were on the road traveling with me that they were not a spectator that I was going to throw them out there and I remember this one time we were ministering in this church in Melbourne Melbourne Florida and so the worship was awesome and so we get done with the worship and and so as worship is just coming to an end I said I leaned over to the one girl she was from Indiana and I said to her I said Tara I said pastors gonna introduce me in about three minutes and I said but what I'm gonna do is this is I'm gonna get up and take the microphone and you're gonna come up there with me and you're gonna give three accurate words of knowledge she went into emergency tongues let me tell you right then it was like oh my god Jesus if you ever heard me lord Shotokan abbas Allah I mean there was no little mousy - I mean she was in emergency tongues at that moment if she got up and she just smoked the house I mean it was just awesome I mean I just the hair of my arms stood up is she got up and she was like she just did it and in that moment something happened now here she is a missionary to Mexico right and so I say that as an example I mean I could tell you of one after another after another I remember one young man we had with us his name was Luke he was from Wisconsin and Luke he would get he would get nervous at times different things with and so I would take him out evangelizing and so we go out and evangelize and and so Luke one time was with with us when we went to Applebee's and so I just went and just out of nowhere just a freak Luke out I just went you know you get those little things those little buzzers when your food is ready or your tables ready I mean right yeah so they give us one of those and so we're outside and we're standing it's a beautiful summer night and I don't remember what state we were in and but there was about about 3035 people standing outside and so just when he thought it was safe I just went in just to shake off the dust of myself I just went and I I just said excuse me can I get everyone's attention please everybody come in here so one ladies like is it an emergency I said yes you stand right here and so for five minutes I began to preach the gospel and I went and let everybody in the sinner's prayer right there outside of Applebee's and this guy Luke his mouth was hanging open he was shocked that I would do that and but to the point where now now he's a music minister in Sacramento California and he does it all the time and ministers that way amen but spiritual growth especially in the gifts begins to occur as you begin to step out of your for zone okay so because I kind of opened that up let's go over to the New Testament let's go over to first Corinthians 12 and I think this is where I'm gonna stay the rest of the day okay so chapter 12 first Corinthians 12 now concerning spiritual gifts brethren I do not want you to be ignorant right you keep on going and verse 7 we pick up but the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all four to one is given by the spirit if four do excuse me four to one is given the word of not wisdom through the spirit to another knowledge through the same spirit to another faith by the same spirit to another gifts of healings by the same spirit do you notice they keep saying by the same spirit the reason is because they come from a culture of polytheism they believed in many gods so these are brand new believers many of them and they're thinking this these operations of the spirit it's a different Holy Spirit and so Paul is saying no no it's the same spirit so verse 10 to another the working of miracles to another prophecy to another discerning of spirits to another different kinds of tongues to another the interpretation of tongues but to one in the same spirit works all these things distributing to each one individually as you will see okay so here he begins to take the gifts of the Spirit and as he takes the gifts of the Spirit he breaks them up into will just use it like this we'll call it the revelation gifts or some people call it the eyes of God okay secondly he begins to talk about another category of gifts the power gifts which is the some people call it the hand of God okay and thirdly we we have also the vocal gifts which some people call the mouth of God okay and so if you break them down into these three categories it's kind of easier to understand so obviously under the revelation gifts is kind of more of along the lines of what I'm talking about is the word of wisdom the word of knowledge and discerning of spirits okay I'm just gonna hit this fast is that okay okay cuz I know most of you already know this stuff so alright but so in the revelation gifts the word of wisdom is something is a word not all of it but it's a word it's a fragment of God's wisdom for the future everyone's a future okay so it's a fragment of God's knowledge about the future right so the the word of knowledge is a fragment or a word of God's knowledge for the present or the past that's a word of knowledge the present or the past and then the discerning of spirits the word discern means to see okay some people say I got the gifted to certain one lady said to me in California I got the gift of discernment I said there's no such thing I said and plus you have the gift of suspicion so you know like that very well but okay so all right but then you have the power gifts which are gifts of healing special faith right and working of miracles right so those three those are kind of self-evident okay and then the vocal gifts is prophecy which is elevated above all nine gifts according to first Corinthians 14:1 Paul elevates prophecy more than all of the other gifts okay and then you have tongues and interpretation which is equivalent to prophecy okay so these are this is just kinda fast overview of the of the gifts of the spirit and understanding the gifts of the spirit now they all operate the same though though they I shouldn't say it like that they're activated the same so the activation crud can't write this morning you understand the activation of them is exactly the same okay although the operation of them is different okay so in first Corinthians 14 now in verse 1 it says pursue love and then here's the trigger this is the trigger word pursue love and desire spiritual gifts especially that you may prophesy now let me say it like this hmm okay so the activation of them are the same so now he gives us the clue is this word desire another word desire if you don't know this actually the the true meaning of the word desire here it means to crave it means to lust it means I cannot do without it it is not a passive word the word desire instead the word desire is to crave or I absolutely have to have this thing okay so here he opens up first Corinthians 14 with the word desire okay so as he opens it and then you end chapter 14 here in verse 39 and 40 he says therefore brethren what verse 39 desire right there it is again desire earnestly ah or fervently so if you can't alright now this is the most strong word in the New Testament is the word desire and now Paul adds another adjective so Paul is saying that's not even enough I want you to fervently or white-hot I want you to desire this thing come on right and the reason it doesn't operate in more people is because of their lack of desire right and so God does things according to your desire right okay so here he says therefore brethren earnestly a desire earnestly then he lifts up prophecy again to prophesy and do not forbid to speak in tongues so many of our evangelical friends you know they they like to fight over first Corinthians 14 maybe in one of the next sessions I'll get into that a little bit more but they like to fight over first Corinthians 14 but I always say hey look at the last words of Paul their desire earnestly to prophesy right and don't forbid to speak in tongues can I speak in tongues in your church ah well then your church is unbiblical come on right let all things be done decently in order now the the emphasis is not a decently in order the emphasis of that word excuse me the emphasis of verse 40 is let all things be done God saying let all things be done let this thing be done in other words these things need to be done these operations of the Holy Spirit they have to be done the people need them people need these things of the Spirit come on right how they do yup so since we kind of opened up here let's go back to your to the beginning of chapter 14 so 1st Corinthians 14 1st Corinthians 14 desire pursue love desire spiritual gifts especially that you may prophesy for he that speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God for no one understands him however in the spirit he speaks mysteries he that prophesies speaks edification exhortation and comfort right then he goes on to say he that speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself but he who prophesies edifies the church I wish you all spoke with tongues but even more that you prophesied for he that prophesized is greater than he that speaks with tongues okay unless he interprets ah why because it's equal the tube that the church may receive edification but now brethren if I come to you speaking in tongues what shall i profit you unless I speak to you now watch here here's four different things regarding tongues here he says if I come to you speaking in tongues what does it profit you unless I come to you by revelation by knowledge by prophesy brevet by prophesying or by teaching so he's talking about tongues now okay those are four different not purposes but attributes I guess or different things regarding speaking in tongues that I can come and I can learn something by this I'll give you a great example many years ago let's see now I have to think how old my son is okay so in 1990 I was a pastor still in New Jersey still in the tribulation and no and so I was a pastor but I was poor I mean poor people called me poor we were in a really bad place financially and to the point where we didn't even have enough money in you know going to the hospital to have my son we didn't even have the money for the Lamaze classes and I said no worry I said God will show me so I began to pray in the Spirit of the Lord began to show me something and I got a revelation everyone's a revelation so I prayed in the spirit and God gave me a revelation of how to have my child as pain-free as possible in less than two hours and so we just did what I caught by revelation come on right and we got to the hospital the moment are my hands push the doors open to the hospital I sit into less than two hours from right this moment this baby will come no complications none of it come on right and exactly what happened exactly about 1 hour and 45 minutes later my son was out and absolutely perfect so praise the Lord right but that came by tongues and by interpretation so these gifts these things are available to us at all times now it's just like healing okay let me say it like this okay because I understand some of your teaching may be contrary in your past okay so when I was here in February ah but I'm about what I do with my pin lost it so when I was here in February we talked about this okay but I'll just reiterate it just for you okay so if I want to Minister healing to the sick I do so by faith is that right okay I don't need to God to tell me to do it I don't need a word of knowledge I can't have a word of knowledge but I don't need it is that true okay so if I want to evangelize witness I want a witness can I do that by faith okay if I want to pray in tongues can I do that by faith can i I don't have to wait for the spirit to come but now listen 75 years ago the church didn't believe that so revelation had to come to the church that no you can do this by faith 75 years ago the church believed that you had to have a special anointing to minister healing to the sick but we know that we can do it by faith come on church help me right is that right so what happens is is it it took a while for the church to get the revelation that these things can be activated entirely by faith well guess what you can also do the same thing with tongues and interpretation or prophecy right or words of knowledge right when I was here in February I just stood up and I said okay now I'm gonna give words and knowledge and I had zero but I just said with my mouth all right now let me give some words of knowledge this is what God is saying now up until I said this is what God is saying I had no clue what I would I'm gonna say next all right lord and I do this all the time every single week literally 52 weeks of the year no matter where I go I just say you know what let's just start with prophecy because my flesh is not wanting it so I'm just gonna resist the flesh and I'm gonna obey the spirit and the moment I said it with my mouth the moment I said it with my mouth I'm activating it I'm activating that divine hunger come on right so I'm activating the hunger God is not activating the hunger you have to activate the hunger the same thing is true regarding praying in tongues and then even interpreting it you have to be the initiative the initiator God is not going to initiate it you have to initiate it everyone say I have to do it okay so I mean so often people like no we got to wait in the spirit we got to just wait you just got away it's just a special rainfalls and a special song as sung by sister do dad and sister bucketmouth she starts to cry in the back of the church then I know okay now God can speak you all laugh because you've been in the same church okay but we don't have to do it that way we can do it by faith we can do these things we can activate these things by faith now instead of becoming toys they become tools and up until now the gifts of the Spirit have been toys in the church instead of tools and I believe this that if we'll begin to view the gifts of the spirit not as a toy a plaything to make me feel better about myself but instead it's a tool for me to set the captives free and the moment I come with that mentality and that attitude now the sudden it becomes fun now it becomes a conscious thing where it becomes a fun thing that I'm willing to fail okay now unfortunately many many many people do not want to fail they don't want to fail they say oh I don't want to fail I only want to do it if if I'm a hundred percent accurate well that's like the child saying dad I can never get on the bicycle unless I never fall how many of you know that doesn't happen right and so these tools of the Spirit these gifts of the Spirit these things that are tools these things you have to be willing to fail you have to be willing to fail you have to be willing to be wrong right and you have to be willing to be correctable be teachable right and so I mean I'm not exempt either I mean sometimes I've given awesome you know accurate prophetic words and words of knowledge and stuff and then other times I've been wrong I'm flesh and blood I can miss it right and but I found that I'm more accurate than I'm then I'm not right and so I'll give you a great example okay I'll just kind of throw myself under the bus here so November we were in in Switzerland so in Switzerland I was doing this conferences prophetic conference and so we're in Switzerland were ministering there and so I went and I said the same thing I went and I said all right now I'm gonna give some words of knowledge and so I stepped up and I just waited a second and then I started to give them I said is there a lady back here and your mom is laying in a hospital bed dying and a woman screamed in the back of the church about the same amount of people that are here and I pointed right at her and I just said to her I said the Lord says she's been to heaven twice now I tried to interpret it okay now that's where agra bus had the problem in the New Testament remember when a gibbous prophesied to Paul Bible says he took his belt off tied his hands remember that he said so shall be the owner of this belt he'll be bound in Jerusalem and and killed and then what does it say he said to him don't go to Jerusalem remember that okay Paul says I'm not only ready to go I'm ready to die I know that that's my fate that's a confirmation but what happened is is a gibbous tried to interpret the word of the Lord instead of just give the word of the Lord so I tried to interpret it and so what I said was this is I said your mother's gone to heaven twice and I said and right now she's healed in the name of Jesus I tried to interpret it so I was 90% right what I didn't know was exactly what I had said had happened however during the meeting the woman had died okay so it was a confirmation until I tried to it put my interpretation on it okay so don't interpret it you just give the word and then whatever you know what I mean and so that's why I tell people to practice with words of knowledge not with words of wisdom because how can you practice with a word of wisdom for the future you know the Lord says you're gonna go do this and so in it and he's like okay that could be three days three months three years thirty years before I can confirm that word you understand but if I give you a word and I just say who is Dawn you know and you're like don don don do you know what dawn you guys know what don you know and so he's like yeah I know it Don and so do you know it Don no you you sir you guys know it Don is there no you do who is it yeah is he not saved oh okay yeah I just as soon as I was just saying this I heard the word Don when I pointed so I just knew that God's ministering to Don and so that's just what I had so sorry a little attraction there sorry but okay so there there was a word of knowledge right there I didn't even know it was gonna happen okay but so uh so here I am I'm and I'm just saying Don now I'm not trying to put a full interpretation on it this is what I sense God is saying about it okay so I hope that kind of helps alright so but the biggest thing that I want to trigger with you here this morning is this is that you have to desire these spiritual gifts right you have to earnestly desire these things okay they're not just gonna fall from heaven like you know cherries off of a tree you have to cultivate these things okay just exactly like divine healing now I didn't just come in to divine healing when I got saved the day I got saved I was given a book in 1982 August in 1982 I was given the book heal not healing to sit yeah healing the sick by TL Osborn in revelation went off in my heart and I caught healing and so at the age of 16 I was healing the sick in school I mean I was you know getting the Baptist girls filled with the Holy Ghost and so so I was doing this stuff because of this revelation begin to happen so way back then so I begin to practice I begin to practice laying hands on the sick I begin to start to practice it and I just began to be willing to fail right I mean no matter where I was no matter where I was I would be willing to just step out you know some people are like yeah but what if nothing happens yeah but what if something does I mean I'm tired of reading church history about all these great men and women of God I want to be that one come on how about you right I mean wiglesworth wasn't just reading about it thank God for the story I mean we even got books on some of these people but I don't want to just read about I want to be that one come on they're dead we're on the field now Church right so if we're on the field now then then God has got a destiny and a calling for all of us to begin to say listen now it's our time so that's what I feel like God is saying here this morning is this is that word desire you know what is your desire what is your desire just even in hearing God's voice what is what is your desire and beginning to just start to step out in faith right I mean I've done it before I mean I've gone places I'd be like James is your name James and the guys know my name is MJ oh okay no problem but I'm willing to just step out in faith in to hear the word of the Lord come on write something wrong with your left elbow ah yeah it's a frozen elbow I can't lift my own move my elbow or whatever it might be and I remember one time we were doing some Street healing in Puerto Rico and I had a big group of people in Puerto Rico and so we're going through a mall we had 300 church people trained and we went and took them all into this mall it looked like it looked like an invasion is what it looked like I mean everybody's two by two and people are casting out demons in the hall I mean in the literally in the middle of the the hallway of the mall demons are coming out of people and sick people being healed and and yeah I'd show you some of the video if I could here this morning but just not enough time but and went and I said to my group they're like we're so afraid we can't get over the fear and I said just do it I said it's just like jumping out of an airplane you just it comes that point in time you can't inch your toe in it you gotta just jump and so I said now as we're walking I said like this girl right here and they said with her I said yeah I said something's wrong with her shoulder they're like how do you know that I said I don't know let's go see and I just walked up to this girl and she's working in the mall and and she's right on her if you go on our YouTube channel it's right on the featured video she's the last healing and she said I said excuse me that sounds crazy I said but do you have trouble with your your left shoulder you can't lift your left shoulder and she's like how do you know that and I just said I take I take away people's pain I said let me show you so I just put my hand on her I said in the name of Jesus all Pingo I took my hand away I said lift it and she lifts it you can see her in the video she starts screaming and she got radically saved from that one that one word of knowledge but did God say you die saith the Lord Thomas the woman ahead in the white shirt or was it just an impression right or did I just pick somebody and then I had an impression that's what it was I just picked somebody and then I had an impression and I just spoke out of that impression that I was having and here I had no idea so here this morning I was sat down here I just said to myself and I didn't say it out loud but I just grabbed my book right now worse right now yeah she saw we were talking I stopped she didn't know what I was doing I just grabbed my tablet didn't open I went and I just said to myself all right god this is what you're saying I wrote down six things here's Don and I wonder the third thing I wrote down was saliva somebody here needs healing something's wrong with your saliva and in here as I wrote it I shut the book I put the book up here he turned around tapped me on the shoulder said could you pray for my wife she's got an issue with diabetes was it yeah yeah and he said if she has trouble with saliva in her mouth I said wait look and I said this is what God just said to me and I opened the book so he saw I didn't just write it down it was earlier come on amen so I didn't wait for God to speak is what I'm trying to say I just said all right boom right whether you speak it or whether you write it doesn't matter it's the same thing okay so what we'll field some questions later I promise okay so but I want to I want you to get the spirit of this thing is that you are triggering this whole thing by faith this is you look at your neighbor say you the one okay so this is not God's initiation this is your initiating you are initiating okay you are initiating the move of the Spirit by faith God does what you do right so we even know this that regarding just regarding God's voice I never really thought about this until the other day the Lord revealed this to me that regarding God's voice is we know that the Old Testament Genesis 1:1 begins with God's voice God's voice put everything together right revelation 22 the last verses he calls him that hears the voice you look at the last verse that's what it is the last two verses he begins to call for the hearers of that voice and so this is what I believe that the Lord is doing in the church all over the world is that he's calling the church to accurately hear his voice now it's taken the church a while through a journey because the church has gotten so far away from the Word of God come on right and as a result it's gotten so detracted and so off-target and everything else and so god's had to pull the church back to the word that unfortunately what has happened is is now the church is gone overboard just word word word word word word word and no spirit no move the spirit at all and it becomes dry just becomes dry as milk toast right and so that's where we need to be towards the middle of this word and spirit right where we begin to start to hear the word of the Lord and now I have word I have some substance inside me kind of like I come all the way back to that fire thing right so now I have a fire now I have a fire that is ignited because now I have I'm operating in the joy of the Lord and what am i doing I'm also taking with it the fuel the word of the word of God and mixed with the spirit and I'm mixing these three together and as a result I've got a fire a none consumable fire right but you got to have those same three elements all the time so I'm kind of coming full back back full circle right and so and and this is well let me see if I can find that scripture first Peter go over to first Peter all right maybe it's second whoops that's why I'm in the wrong book I'm like it's not there think it is second Peter so second Peter I grabbed an I grabbed a new Bible so I don't have all my notes and then okay it could be first Peter but either way either way it talks about reminding if someone can find me that verse find me that verse real quick William say again ah thank you brother it doesn't sound right but second Peter 3 verse what I know that it's like chapter 1 or chapter 2 but I know it's in 1st or 2nd Peter alright the shines in the dark plays there it is ba-ba-ba-ba yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah there it is ok yeah ok that's 2nd Peter what okay there's another one as well though you know these things and are established in this present truth he says okay this is what he says and it's either first or second Peter I can't I got a new boy a new Bible is like a new house you can't find anything though it's all there okay so but it says though you are established in these things it's important for me to remind you right to stir you up by way of reminding you okay so so what happens is this as as we remind ourselves of these truths what happens is this is it ignites that joy again for that revelation like how many of you remember when the first revelation of healing took place raise your hand how many of you remember that you can remember where you were what you were reading what you were listening to you can remember who was speaking or whatever it was ah it was so real to you right it was so excited was like you just all you saw in the Bible was healing I mean literally Genesis to Revelation it was just all the way through right ah that's it 2nd Peter 1:12 for this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things though you know and are established in the present truth yes I think it is right as long as I'm in this body to stir you up by reminding you come on right my old Bible school teacher his name was Keith Moore anyone know Keith Moore okay so here's my Bible school teacher and so Keith Moore used to say it like this if it's old to you it's no longer real to you because when it's real to you it never gets old I'll say that again he used to say that used to always say if it's old to you some people like yeah I heard this I've heard this I know this I've heard this I've heard and now that means it's no longer real to you come on right because when it's real to you it never gets old right I mean ladies you want to hear your husband say he loves you right don't you know it by now Indy tell you that 25 years ago when he married you sure should he never have to the rest of his life say I love you no you want to hear it you want to be reminded come on right why because reminding stirs you up right it stirs up that joy I just had you a little over an hour ago you went you shared your testimony of salvation and the moment you remembered it was like all those old feelings came up right is that true right all those old feelings came up Wow why because you reminded yourself guess what the same thing is true regarding prophecy and and the gifts of the Spirit and and in hearing God's voice and all of these things begin to happen as soon as we begin to remind ourselves we have to cultivate a reminding we have to remind ourselves of these things curry and I met through this prophet from South Africa and he was the funniest guy I ever met he was very funny guy but I don't mean like humorous I mean just different he's in heaven now but he and but great great great man of God I've just learned so much from him and it just blessed me last night when curry was sharing some of the stories about him and stuff but very very different but one of the things that he loved to do now he had a strange gift now he had the same gifting upon his life as Lester Sumrall he didn't need to sleep it was a very strange gift I know but he could go for 30 days with no sleep so could you imagine how much you could read the Bible I mean so literally he would go for 30 days sometimes I would see him you know and he would tell me yeah you know I haven't slept at all in the last 45 days or something like that just very strange very strange he just didn't need to and so but when he met Lester Sumrall in 1980 Lester Sumrall told him in 1980 don't waste it watching movies and stuff like that but he began to start to memorize his scriptures and he knew by memory he could memoride memorized more than half of the New Testament and here's a guy who just was unbelievable with it and he set out to memorize the concordance I mean just but that's I mean he was a funny guy and so he went you would say one verse his mind would go through the whole Bible like that and but every single time he went and he would go to grab his Bible he would be like I've never read this before and Korea will tell you I mean as soon as you would say something or if somebody was healed of something minor you know I mean here's a guy they had raised like thirty people from the dead they had you know seventeen thousand cripples walk I mean the the canes crutches and wheelchairs all over the walls and in every single miracle he would rejoice with who he would cry if somebody got healed of a cough I remember one time we were sitting in a pastors conference and we were sitting at lunch and I said to him I said he was a prophet and I just said prophet I said I gotta ask you a question I said that is so funky I said and he quoted this scripture and he said I stir myself up like I've never read the Bible before the moment a preacher gets behind the pulpit he said the same exact same thing the Holy Spirit taught me years ago is I wipe my mind clean and I it's a clean slate to receive because the moment that it's cluttered come on you can't receive you can't receive anything right and so some people are real funny even about like conferences like when Korea night when we brought curry to Florida they didn't know who he was and so the people that only knew our ministry were like I'm only going when Tom's preaching and so we just didn't tell anyone when we were preaching so that's why we so when I come to your events and stuff you know I'm only going with Curry's preaching or I'm only going when Tom's you know and so why because they they've got a mindset they've got something come on somebody right and there's a block there instead of a receptivity instead of a desire and a hunger that God could bring a donkey up here God could bring a Labrador Retriever up here and do one thing and you can receive from God come on right so there's something about desire and I'll kind of close this with this story when we used to live in Fort Lauderdale there was a church down the road and this pastor just he didn't care for me I don't know why I thought it was a nice guy but he didn't like me and you ever have someone they just don't like you anybody okay okay so this guy he just didn't like me period nothing and so one day I heard that there was this prophet coming to speak at his church and this is about ten years ago and so I told my wife I said listen we're off the road this weekend I said let's go hear that prophet speak at such-and-such a church and so my wife said you know that pastor he does not like you I said well that's all right what we'll do is we'll wait till worship is going and we'll slip into the back of the church in the last row and he won't even know we're there right and so we get into the car and as we get into the car I went and I shut the door the second I shut the door I went and I said out loud I said Lord I said you're gonna speak to us tonight through this manna garden I said the moment the moment that he steps up we're receiving from you like I've never heard anything he said before and I said and Lord if he doesn't give anyone a prophetic word he's gonna prophesied to me I said he's gonna prophesied to me and my wife tonight if he doesn't give anyone a prophetic word and so we drive off we get to the church we slip into the back of the church we get in and we kind of sit in the back row we sit down and and so worship is kind of coming to an end and so the pastor gets up and takes the mic and begins to kind of do some you know house cleaning stuff and just sharing some stuff about the ministry time and then he spots me in the back he had a smile before he saw me in and so bad and so I kind of lean out I'm like hi what do you do you know what I mean is like I'm like red you know I'm almost purple and it's so I kind of wave at him and stuff and so he introduces his prophet so this prophet comes up to speak and so he gets up there and he starts speaking he gets into it and he's really struggling in his message I mean he's struggling to put things together he goes oh I can't do this with that blonde couple in the last row stand up and for ten minutes he starts a prophesied to my wife and I for ten minutes and he never prophesied over anyone else in the service now I wonder I wonder if it has something to do with my hunger in my words that I spoke right I wonder if it has something to do with that I was willing to wipe the slate clean like I've never heard this before come on somebody right and I believe this that if we'll begin to start to do that if we'll begin to start to cultivate that in our life we'll begin to receive better well we'll be not only a better recipient but we'll actually get more from God and now will we get more from God will be a better giver as well we'll be a much better Giver as we come with that that mindset he meant amen hallelujah praise God well before I go ahead and close I just have some things I felt like the Lord wants to minister healing too right away here this morning is there someone here something in your jaw I want to say almost like a almost like at one time it was cracked or broken or something like that it's like it never healed right or something is that you ma'am yeah stand up come on over here someone else as well there's two other people yeah one two come now I'm not talking about your cousin in West Virginia I'm only talking about you okay you two you have the same thing yeah come come on up just stand right here yeah yeah come on up brother doesn't have to be broken but something's wrong in your jaw and the Lord wants to minister healing in that thing yeah just comes in no no don't face them I'm gonna pray for you okay turn towards me make one straight line okay all right um also I don't know why this is separate but I just did it something with your cheek bone or something like that what's it deal with somebody's cheekbone I don't know if you did something to it but something's funky with your cheekbone and the Lord wants to minister healing to you is that you is it from a car accident okay that's why I wrote broken yeah okay there's someone here is there a

looking yeah well you got to go to the car lot sister I'm sorry God doesn't drive so no I'm just teasing him yeah this is what this is what I felt like the Lord is saying especially for you now okay this is that this is a training is that okay can I train you okay now I I wrote this down about the car okay but I was waiting for more until they stood up now I knew there would be more than one but the moment she stood up I knew the word is primarily for her that does not negate these two these two are included okay but the word is primarily about her okay cuz I saw her looking for cars actively okay I saw her actively looking for cars and this is the word I got is it's all gonna come to together in August and you're gonna get a car that's better than you can afford better you actually it's
