09/13/2020 | Expect Delays | Pastor David Myers

if you will stand with me uh this morning i want to read a few verses in your hearing from the book of numbers chapter 20 the book of numbers chapter 20 and verse 14. we want to read um uh let's see we'll read down through uh verse 16. numbers chapter 20 and verse 14 and moses sent messengers from kadesh unto the king of edom thus saith thy brother israel thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us how our fathers went down into egypt and we have dwelt in egypt a long long i added a second long for the purpose of emphasizing a long long long long time and the egyptians vexed us and our fathers and when we cried unto the lord he heard our voice aren't you glad the lord hears your voice when you cry unto him and sent an angel and hath brought us forth out of egypt and behold we are in kadesh a city in the uttermost of thy border you may be seated thank you for standing uh there are two words that have been going through my mind over and over um during the last seven to ten days and uh it is what i want to talk to you about today and the two words that have been going through my mind and my heart are these words expect delays expect delays now part of why those two words have been going through my mind is because it's on an enormous sign on emerson in between the church and my house both directions and so when i drive down emerson going south there is a big sign if you've driven down there you've seen it you can't miss it expect delays road work will begin 8 31. so i thought that meant that the flow of traffic was going to be delayed because they were going to have to shut off one lane and do road work but as i've driven by that sign on september the 1st and september the 3rd and september the 5th and september the 7th and september the 9th and september the 11th and now today which is what the 13th i realize that expect delays was truth in advertising road work will begin 8 31 expect delays and so i was asking the lord lord what is it that you want your people to hear on this beautiful day in the middle of september and i drove by that sign and the lord said here's your sign expect delays and so i want to talk to you today about that principle and i hope to be able to show you from the bible numerous examples where god works but he doesn't work according to your time clock and not according to my time clock he's a god that works according to his perfect will and many many times when it comes to us getting what we want from god there are delays now we should be prepared for those because over the past six to seven months we've had to learn to live with delays everything is delayed right we're delayed and all of these safety precautions were delayed the temperature screening and health questions and and mass preparations and hand sanitizing stations i was even reading the other day where they're trying to figure out when and how they can start up the cruises again and they said if you were one of these people that flew in on the day that your cruise ship left you could forget that from now on you're going to have to fly in the day before because it takes several hours now to go through all the testing and everything that's going to be required before they let you get on the cruise ship now we live in florida we don't fly in the day before but for people coming from out of the country and from other states and when they finally do get back it's not going to be back to like it used to be and then i read something that was very troubling they're going to do away with all the buffet eating that's the only reason i went on a cruise like i need to eat more and so here we are with all of these uh changes and all of these delays it takes longer to get into a store it takes longer to get something they've got all these safe records and we've had to just learn to live with it right there's not a lot you can do you can just live frustrated or you can deal with the delays i i'm you may have had this experience but a few months ago i was trying to call you know delta airlines and get you know refunded for all these flights that have been canceled and uh we had six overseas crusades that were canceled and so you know we're trying to get up and and delta i think sent everybody home in march and april and said uh people are going to want refunds so let's just not answer the phone and they were very effective at that they just sent everybody home you know and i decided one day i was going to persevere so i i got on the phone and and they said you can expect a delay and i said yeah i expected that before i called and you can expect a delay and yes and you can expect a delay and yes and yes yes and three hours later i just passed out and my phone battery died and i gave up but you can expect a delay now though we get used to that in the culture that we're in today spiritually speaking it's still difficult for us because we feel like we pray and nothing happens we pray for a miracle we pray for an answer we pray for a healing and it seems like we just get put on hold well let me tell you why it feels that way because you are being put on hold you didn't like that did you heaven puts us on hold [Music] and that's uncomfortable why god i'm your favorite believer i'm your favorite customer i am faithful to church i'm faithful to uh paying my tithes i'm faithful lord to worship in you i'm faithful in my bible reading why am i on hold well first of all and i'm going to give you four or five reasons why you can expect spiritual delays but first of all let me establish this foundational point and that is that you are not in a spiritual delay because god just enjoys frustrating his people that's not why we're on a delay it's not just because god's like let's really have a lot of fun with those human beings i know they're praying a lot but this will be fun we'll make them think they're going to get a miracle but then we'll just push it off for a long time and it'll be funny to watch how they react that's not the kind of god that you serve now if i was your god there's a possibility that i would have some mischievous alternative motive but that's not the kind of god you serve god is a god that delays on purpose it's not by accident and it's not just that god has lost your zip code or that there's so many believers that you just don't count that's not it there is a purpose and a reason while god delays the answer and one of the things i want to establish is this just because god says not yet does not mean god said no you know when you were a kid and you asked your parents you could go to disney world on saturday and they said this you remember these two words we'll see we'll see now as as a child you you learn quickly that we'll see is code for no but i don't want to have to deal with the aftermath of you not wanting to hear no so we'll kick the can down the road with a we'll see and so after the 10th time of a we'll see you learn as a kid that we'll see means no and you go well what do you mean we'll see well why or yeah and you file a complaint and your parents do what delta does put you on hold well a lot of times we take that and we put that as a template over our spiritual understanding of how god works and we hear a not yet and we think that means no that doesn't necessarily mean no that just means that you're not ready yet for the answer and that's what's hard to take in you're not ready yet for the answer how many of you are thankful that they don't give driver's license to seven and eight-year-olds i'm so glad to see you brian love you guys there's a reason why you don't give a driver's license to a toddler or to an adolescent i'm not even sure why they give them to teenagers now that i'm 50 plus i don't know exactly why we give driver's license to teenagers in fact a number of years ago when i was in the island of oklahoma doing a crusade there among military bases there was um a lot of people that that started telling us about the island of oklahoma people live longer on that island than anywhere in the world if they routinely live 104 106. so i would really like to live that long so i was investigating what all they did and how they did it i think there's even some kind of little uh berries or something you can order in a little jar and they come from the island okinawa they sell them you know on television ads or something and they say if you eat these you'll live to be 104. that's not the real reason i can save all of you guys a whole bunch of money let me tell you what i learned when i was on the island of okinawa and i think this is why people live so long you can't get a driver's license until you're 21. see there that was free that just came you did you still get it for the same price of your offer that's just a part of understanding 21 and now that i have twin 16 year old boys i'm thinking 21 is a really good idea well you say pastor you're just a mean father will you come and drive with gregory and luke for a little while then you'll come over to my side but let's talk for a little bit about and i want to give you five things i'm sure there's a whole bunch of them well let's talk about five five reasons why you and i can expect delays and of course you know we're talking about spiritual delays the first one is this the delay is positioning you for a double portion the delay is positioning you for a double portion in fact let me just say something on the heels of it the greater the delay the greater the reward see delays aren't all that bad now are they i mean if i knew that when delta finally did pick up the phone my ticket was 500 but they were gonna double it give me a thousand dollar credit i wouldn't have as much problem with the delay because i would know that there was a bonus in getting through the delay when you and i understand that god owns the cattle of a thousand hills he is a god of abundance david said i've never seen the righteous forsaken or seed begging bread if you and i can get a revelation that god is a god of double portions if you and i will just say lord i'm going to just believe you hallelujah and i'm not going to get impatient i know you're setting me up you know here's something you got to realize that sometimes a setback is a set up sometimes you may encounter something you feel like boy this is a setback but actually it's a set up because god's got something great for you look at the children of israel and of course you know moses was talking to the king of edom and the verses that we read and he said look we have been in egypt a long long time the children of israel were not only delayed but i think you would agree with me 400 years is a delay 400 years i mean i'm complaining about three hours on the phone can you imagine a 400 year delay no wonder they begin to think that god just didn't hear their cry anymore they were definitely on a delay and then they were also delayed in getting to the promised land another 40 years in the wilderness i mean the entire transformation from prisoner to promised land was marked with delays just expect a delay even the bible says that the hardened heart of pharaoh was part of god's delays he literally hardened the heart of pharaoh so that pharaoh would say yeah i don't think i'm gonna let you go now that all the frogs are gone i'm feeling better about you guys all staying here every time one of the plagues was over he would change his mind back change his mind back change his mind why in the world were there all of these delays and when you look in the word of god it gets even more curious because the lord says he hardened pharaoh's heart he's the one that gave pharaoh a bad attitude so that pharaoh would change his mind again some of you have got a boss like that you're like lord i wish you would quit hardening his heart because he keeps changing his mind you see what's happening don't you god was setting up the children of israel he wanted the children of israel to know that he was a god that could do the miraculous and all of those plagues was showing the children of israel the power of god because he was getting ready to do miracles that were going to be an everyday occurrence every day when all that manner showed up out there on the desert there was one more day that god was working in the miraculous when all those quails came down and flew real low they just went out there and grabbed them out of the sky that was one more day that god was doing the miraculous the bible says that even their clothes didn't wear out god was setting them up even when they got to the red sea the bible said he had them camp where it looked like they were in an ambush but oh when those egyptian soldiers came down and the red sea opened up it was all part of god's plan because the delay was a setup to give them an even greater breakthrough ladies and gentlemen you may be facing a delay and you're like i've been praying about this for a long time and it doesn't seem like my answer is coming it's because he's positioning you for something even greater something even bigger you know we read the bible about jacob he was pretty impetuous by nature jacob you remember jacob he had this one brother esau and uh esau was over in him by a few minutes and so esau was supposed to get the birthright the oldest son got all the the spiritual financial blessings became the leader well jacob wanted it jacob was impatient jacob you know stole his brother's birthright and then went to his father and feigned he was his brother and you know his brother had hairy arms the bible describes it the mother helped him they put you know sheepskins and all this stuff to make it like he was his brother because his father isaac was blind and he got the blessing and then when esau found out about he put a bounty out on his head so jacob had to run so jacob's way out in the wilderness and the lord shows up in god good when everybody else rejects you the lord comes near what a great god we serve he has that great dream and he sees the vision and the latter angels ascending and descending the lord says like i'll be your god and so finally here gets right here here comes jacob and he comes to where he's supposed to go he's supposed to go find his uncle laban and i mean it's not like you just had gps and you went down and got on a plane or drove down the street i mean you're just out there wandering and here they're at a well and and these girls are coming to get water and and these other shepherds are being rude to them and so forth and he comes in and defends them and they're like oh little stranger boy we love you you're our hero we're taking you home to daddy so he goes back and daddy was laban his uncle and so basically he's in love with his cousin i don't know how else to say it and rachel he sees rachel says oh i love rachel rachel rachel rachel i got to marry rachel and his uncle says that sounds great but you're gonna work for me for seven years then we'll talk about this marriage business now i thought wow that's really an ancient custom but as my daughter gets older i think more and more of how valuable that is in 2020. so if there's a boy at some point in the future that wants to marry sophia i think i'm going to say you have to come and work in the church for seven years i got bible for it [Laughter] and so he works and i mean seven years it's like one day because he's going out there and getting up early he's working in the field he's dealing with all the manure the animals and all of this but then he sees rachel he's like and after seven years finally seven years is over seven years the equivalent of seven months of covet [Laughter] and he gets to the altar and he's like oh this is my wife it's gonna be awesome they marry they do their vows he pulls the veil back to kiss her and it's like you're not rachel you're leah her older sister leah's smiling you know she's got teeth all missing and stuff jacob's like whoa wait a second you say pastor you're just making that up the bible said she was not fair to look upon you figure it out and he goes his father-in-law goes wait one second here yo you said seven years and laban says that's right but lee is the oldest so you have to marry her first but if you work seven more years you get rachel and guess what jacob does work seven more years now i'm sure he felt like he was cheated i'm sure he felt like he was being delayed unfairly but he needs to be thankful for leah because it wasn't for leah there'd be two tribes of israel not 12 tribes of israel because 12 tribes of israel came from the 12 sons of jacob and 10 of those came from leah and he learned to love leah and whenever he died he said bury me with leah folks there may be blessings in your life right now that you don't even see they're disguised you see it as more of a burden than a blessing but god sees the end from the beginning and what may seem like god's not hearing your cry it could be that god is preparing you for something so much bigger so much greater he loved rachel but rachel died giving birth to the second son benjamin of course the first son was joseph and and joseph became the great leader but you have to understand that god is in the business of giving you and i more than what we can even imagine than we can even ask for that we can even think of we say lord here's what we want and the lord's like i want to give them so much more but you've got to be willing to say god the delay just means there's a greater blessing coming so i'm not going to be weary in my well-doing i'm just going to keep on keeping on lord and i know you're going to make a way where there seems to be no way expect delays but also expect greater blessings john 11 as brother richie mentioned in the sunday school class today mary martha and lazarus brothers lazarus course being their brother mary martha two sisters they were all friends of the lord they lived in bethany and they had sent word out that lazarus had gotten sick and they needed jesus to come and pray and jesus was there with all the multitude he was pushing and pressing it and finally they got word to him and they said just uh just forget it he's already he's already passed there's no reason to hurry anymore he's passed he's not he's not sick anymore and there's something that happens that's really interesting and it appears in fact martha even sort of rebuked the lord when he finally got to bethany jesus if thou has been here my brother would not have died so in other words what took you so long why did you delay and he said your brother will rise again well i know he will in the resurrection of the last day and he says to martha i am the resurrection oh my friend i know right now you may feel like you're in a delay but can i tell you he's still the same god hallelujah that can give you a miracle in the midst of the chaos i am the resurrection and when they brought word to jesus before he ever got there verse 14 of john 11 says then said jesus unto them plainly lazarus is dead and then he says this and this makes it even more curious and i am glad for your sakes that i was not there say what can you imagine being a sibling of lazarus and hearing jesus say he's dead and i'm glad for your sakes that i wasn't there that sounds really harsh but then he says to the intent now this is the purpose remember we talked about how there's always a purpose in the delay to the intent ye may believe nevertheless let us go unto him oh hallelujah because the lord knows the future you can expect delays but it doesn't mean that god cannot perform the work it doesn't mean that god is perplexed it doesn't mean that god is busy it means that god has something even greater up his sleeve [Applause] you know why he told him that because this was one of the last miracles jesus did before he went to the cross and he was setting them up to believe that this is not just a this is not just a prophet that that has special supernatural powers that can heal lame legs and heal blind eyes and withered hands this is god manifest in the flesh this is a god that can raise from the dead and he wanted to raise lazarus from the dead which he did three days he was dead but he went and stood in the front of that tomb and said lazarus come forth and lazarus come up out of that tomb and they had to unwrap him so he could walk and he wanted all of the followers to realize this hallelujah is a god of resurrection power it may be that god has delayed so that even a bigger miracle is going to be on display he's setting us up for a double portion second i got to hurry second reason is that we are not in the right place yet for the answer we're not in the right place yet for the answer and the best way to illustrate this is to look in john 5. john 5 tells about the sick people that would gather in those five porches around the pool of bethesda there were springs that were underneath that came up and the bible says that once a year the angels came down troubled the water and whoever was first in the water would be healed and jesus just went there walking amongst all the people verse 6 of john 5 we pick up the narrative it says when jesus saw him lie he goes and sees a man that has that's lame and he says and knew that he had been now a long time in that case he had been in that condition a long time and jesus knew it whether he knew it supernaturally or he knew it from something he saw but he knew it so he said unto him wilt thou be made whole now that seems like a really really frivolous question to ask he's at the pool of bethesda he's been there a long time and he's lame of course he wants to be made whole why would the lord ask such a question and when you read this you have to see that he asks that question for a reason look at verse 7 the impotent man answered him sir i have no man when the water is troubled to put me into the pool but while i am coming i got nobody to help me so i have to try to get there on my own but while i'm coming another step is down before me in other words he wasn't positioned right he couldn't get close enough to the water he didn't have anybody to help him and he had some sounds like some pretty legitimate reasons why he had not yet made it into the water first now he was demonstrating what we could see were physical indicators that he wasn't yet in the right place but what the lord saw were some spiritual reasons that he wasn't in the right place now follow me jesus saith unto him he didn't say to him well boy i understand that man i feel i i hate that you don't have a friend or you don't have anybody here to help you and you man you're all by yourself and you're poor guy and you haven't been able to get down there then that's totally understandable jesus didn't say all the stuff that we as modern day pastors would have said no not jesus here's what jesus says because he's jesus jesus saith unto him rise take up thy bed and walk now you've got to understand this the lame man has given jesus all external reasons as to why he hasn't been healed a man hasn't helped me you know i'm not close enough with water i can't get in first while i'm going somebody else steps in front of me it's everybody else's fault i don't have a friend blah blah blah blah blah and jesus says he don't say poor you he doesn't say let's go see if we can find a friend he says to the man rise take up your bed and walk in other words your miracle is within your own power boy if you get this revelation it'll change the rest of your life if you can get a revelation that the lord is trying to position you and me so that we don't blame external forces well i go through because of this that happened to me when i was a kid and if i had more money i'd be able to do more for god if i could do this and if somebody else and people would treat me better if i had better parents if i hadn't gone through a divorce and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and the whole time you know what's happening you're getting further and further away from the pool of bethesda but here's what god wants to know will you rise take up your bed and walk if you'll pull yourself up by your own bootstraps and say i'm not going to be a victim anymore i'm going to overcome by the blood of jesus i'm going to get my miracle now your position now you're positioned for the miraculous but until that time expect delays you say i don't know if that's really what happened well let's read a little further and immediately the man was made whole took up his bed and walked and on the same day was the sabbath the jews therefore said in him that was cured you'd think everybody would stand around and say isn't that awesome have a worship service the man that was lame is walking now whoa what a miracle hallelujah somebody start banging a tambourine or something no look what this crowd did it is the sabbath day it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed but he used to be lame and now he's walking yeah but he's not supposed to carry his bed on the sabbath if you and i are not careful we can nitpick on something and miss the miracle of the moment miss the miraculous by being preoccupied with the mundane sometimes you gotta just back away from it all and say god you are great and greatly to be praised i don't understand why i'm going through this but i know you got everything in your control and i'm just gonna keep on worshiping i'm gonna keep on believing and i'm gonna take this opportunity to praise you [Applause] he answered them he's still got the same nature though watch this they said hey you're breaking the law you can't carry your bed where's your mask i'm glad you got the holy ghost i'm glad you've been healed i'm glad your arm grew back but you're not wearing a mask got quiet right there didn't it listen to what this guy says he answered them he that made me whole he's still blaming other people i mean he's only been healed a few moments he said there was another guy he'd come up here and he said take up that big one it's not my i'm just doing following orders and they say well who who is this man what man is this verse 12 that said indeed take up thy bed and walk and he he that was healed with not he didn't know who he was i don't know he was right here he had sandals and a bathrobe on i don't know everybody's who's where i don't know if and look what the lord had done for jesus had conveyed himself away a multitude being in that place the lord on purpose moseyed on through lost in the crowd because you know what he didn't want that man to point to him because that man would then think that he couldn't be a worshiper unless jesus was standing next to him the lord is trying to get you and i to realize hallelujah that you can worship god in any situations you got to dig down deep in the midst of your own struggles in the midst of your trials you got to dig down and say wait a second i'm an overcomer hallelujah i'm going to be a worshiper not a whiner come on i'm not going to live in pain all my life i'm gonna see bless the lord on my soul he was not positioned for his answer because he was not in a place to step out in faith once you get to that place you'll start to see things start to happen so that's the second possible reason i gotta hurry number three the delay is for the purpose of preparation see there's a lot of times the lord is still preparing us now we think we're ready but we're not but we don't realize we're not so the lord just keeps preparing us david though he was anointed as a boy to be the king of israel his delays were numerous joseph was gifted given visions as a young man but he was delayed with jealous brothers and false charges from supervisors and eventually he was delayed by prison where everybody forgot him except god you may think you've been overlooked at your job you've been overlooked by family i've come to tell you that you haven't been overlooked by god he keeps good books hallelujah and one day it's gonna be worth it all hallelujah all you gotta do is just put one foot in front of the other and say god's given me a dream and i'm not gonna let the dream die in this position that i'm in god is preparing me sure i'm in a delay but i'm still moving forward hallelujah and i'm going to keep on going because god's going to fulfill what he put in my heart years ago come on don't let your dream die moses spent more than 40 years in the wilderness though he was directed as a child down the nile river floating in a little basket david joseph moses obviously the hand of god was upon them when they were just boys most of their life was a delay they could have all three missed out on what god was preparing them for if they would have gotten frustrated with the delay so i say to you today don't fight the delay expect the delay because god says you're not ready yet number four your delay is a test of your devotion your delay is a test of your devotion the lord wants to know if you love him for the answer or do you love him whether you get the miracle or not paul he prayed and said lord i got this thorn in the flesh and i'm asking you to remove it the lord didn't answer delayed delayed delay paul kept on praying finally the lord said my grace is sufficient what are you saying lord i'm saying it's not going to go away but i'm going to give you what you need to make it every day and are you still going to love me even though you don't get the answer or is your devotion to god and as my devotion to god only based on what god can give us as if he's some spiritual santa claus he wants to know do you love me in the bad do you love me when the skies are dry do you love me when the planes are hard do you love me when there's no sun in the sky do you love me when everything's dry and barren and the answer hasn't come that's what god wants to know i'm here to tell you that's why the three hebrew children shadrach meshach and abednego said we don't know if he's going to deliver us from the fire or not but here's what we do know he is able and we're not going to bow in other words it's not going to change our devotion level whether we're delivered or not paul said if i live is christ if i die is gain it don't matter how you shake it i'm not giving up what i believe in oh now you're getting ready for the miraculous when you say god it doesn't matter whether you answer finally the fifth one and i'm not sure if they have it back there but i've added this one your delay is directed by unseen forces there's a constant battle in the spirit world job didn't realize why he was struggled for so long the delay was directed by unseen forces and he finally had to say i've looked to the right to the left i've gone forward i've gone back i've done everything i know to do here's where i got to settle he knows the way that i take and when i'm tried i shall come forth as gold daniel prayed three times a day and the bible says his hair his his prayers were hindered by prince of that providence spiritual forces that hinder finally there was a breakthrough in the spirit world there may be a barrier it doesn't have anything to do with you it's just an iron dome in the spirit world that i've come to give you a word of encouragement god's going to have the final say may not be today may not be tomorrow but in the end god's going to have the final say with daniel heaven broke through with job god gave him everything ten times as much i don't know what the enemies tried to steal from you but can i tell you that though your enemy is a thief and a liar your god is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him and one day it's going to be worth it all and one day the heavens are going to open up and that that you have prayed for for 20 25 years has not been lost in space it's been an answer that's been on its way you might as well go ahead and rejoice in advance of it i'm going to go ahead and bless the lord now i'm not going to wait till i can see it i'm gonna go ahead and thank him and say god the delay has not deterred me i know i'm being positioned and placed and prepared you stand to your feet we were in south africa a few years ago we visited the kruger national park which is an area as big as israel wild animals roam free lines walking down the the little dirt roads you drive your little land rover around or you have a guide to show you this and that it's an amazing place thousands and thousands of acres and one of the things that we learned we were there with the missionary and the guide was telling us about krueger and i think it was 2016. the guy had said something that i've never been able to forget said this is one of the biggest droughts that they've had in numerous decades many animals were dying because of a lack of water and the guy told us that in typical conditions there would be a number of impalas giving birth to their young about now but because the rains have not come they can delay the birth of their young until the rains come he said when the rains start to come even before you see the rain he said the animals know and they start giving birth and he said tens of thousands of impalas will fill these planes and we know rain is coming i had never heard of such a thing but i was so intrigued i came home and started researching it and i found out that indeed there is something called embryonic diapause it has been observed in more than 100 species of mammals mammals can undergo diapause to avoid the risk to their own lives during unfavorable or environmental conditions mammals use embryonic diapause to time the birth of their offspring for favorable metabolic and or environmental conditions reproduction has a large energy cost and it is beneficial to have ideal conditions eg available food mild weather previous offspring already weaned to ensure the offspring survives before giving birth and while much is unknown as to the factors that contribute to the hibernation and the activation of the embryo what is known is that little to no development takes place while the embryo is maintained in a state of dormancy and as a result the normal gestation period is extended for an unlimited period of time until the rains start to come and the mother knows that if i give birth to this young there's going to be enough water for my baby to survive sometimes our promises may not be able to come to fruition yet because the reigns are not here yet to sustain the miracle i don't know why it seems like we've been on pause for seven months in the midst of covet 19 but i tell you what i'm feeling in the spirit the bible says the latter rain will be greater than the former rain and i feel like we're being set up for a lot of babies to be born for there to be a great revival for our unsaved children to come home there's come at a time and a season like you cannot believe it may not yet be conducive to support the birth of the miraculous but it's coming i said it's coming it's coming and as soon as we get enough moisture in the atmosphere the babies can begin to be born as soon as we feel the atmosphere with praise as soon as we feel the atmosphere with faith as soon as we feel the atmosphere with a spirit of intercessory prayer i've come to tell you it's not that the babies aren't going to be born it's just a matter of time i say to this great church of east wind believers i say it's time to go ahead and get in an atmosphere of moisture let the heavens open up fill the atmosphere with your prayer fill the atmosphere with your faith fill the atmosphere come on would you lift your hands in your voice right now come on i'm not going to depend on music i'm not going to depend on anybody else praying for me i'm not going to depend on a praying mom or dad come on i'm going to do it myself come on rise up take up your bed and walk hallelujah
