Bishop Thomas W. Weeks Preaches at the 2015 PAW Convention

this is the man that opened the door for me I shall never ever forget the bridge that helped us to come over and helped us to be where we are today please stand and receive this treasured son of this church apostle Wesley weeks senior as he comes a minister in his own way praise the Lord everybody you may be seated we would like to thank our Lord and Savior for his blessings and his healing power God is a good god I want to thank the presiding I lost for this great great invitation to be able to come in to share in the celebration into the minister father we thank you for this opportunity that you have given us to be here with your people those that you have called out delivered and now bringing to yourself I thank you for the word that you have given now Lord bless this vessel that we will be able to adequately present that word open up a house that we will not just be hearers of the word but we will be doers also and in this great house Lord Wow some heart to make you their Lord and Savior come and receive you in waters of baptism the fullness of the Spirit in Jesus name we pray on the people of God said a man when asked if you would if you would turn with me to second Kings second Kings the eighth chapter 2nd Kings a chapter why don't why don't you just stand with me why don't you just stand with me what well I read some verses in your hearing and when I read out of the New International Version you could follow me in whatever version that you may have now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life go away with your family and stay for a while wherever you can because the Lord has decreed a famine in the land that will last seven years the woman proceeded to do as the man of God said she'll be she and her family went away and stayed in the land of the Philistines seven years at the end of the seven years she came back from the land of the Philistines and went to appeal to the king for her house and the king was talking to gay has I the servant of the man of God and had said tell me about all the great things Alysha has done just as gay as I was telling the King how Alysha had restored the dead to life the woman whose son Alysha had brought back to life came to appeal to the king for her house and land then as I said this is the woman my lord the King and this is her son whom elisha restored to life the king asked the woman about it and she told him when he assigned an official to her case and said to him give back everything give back everything that belonged to her including all the income from her land from the day she left the country until now I need you just to shake somebody's hand shake somebody's hands and tell them all you've got to do is show up now you just need to tell one more person all you got to do is show now I I need you just for a moment I just need you for a moment to really just move in this into the spirit realm because I believe God is saying something to us right now that that after a hundred years after all that we have been through it's time for our inheritance it's time for the blessings of the law to begin to flow and I believe that you can confirm it if you just kind of move in the spirit realm you'll know that the Lord has been setting up stuff he's been setting up something in your life you know that there are some things that ought to be coming your way you know you have some requests out there of the Lord that you want some things to happen where I come to tell you the praying days are over all you got to do is show up if you have the face to walk into that lawyer's office if you have the faith to be able to walk into the bank into the finance office if you have the faith to walk into that new job it will be done you will be done now there is a problem problem with all of this not with the Lord it's with us because our problem is that we really do not know all of who we are we don't know our worth we just don't know how blessing we don't know that there are times that all we got to do is say something and stuff begin to move and other times all we have to do is show up and the Lord will begin to release things to us but we really really don't know who we are and one of the reasons why we don't know who we are is what dr. Langham was talking about last night is that we really haven't embraced who our Savior is because if we really embrace who he is then we will know better Who I am because what I wanna be happening in our life is that I'm becoming more like him now we preach it we talk it but are we living it are we living it in other words in other words the Lord came to be our example and we ought to be able to know some things from his life that ought to be going on in our life and let's see how I'm gonna approach this we have spent a lot of time with acts 2:38 we have spent a lot of time with acts 2 and 38 but maybe we should have spent a little time and backing that up four verses four verses verse 34 so David did not ascend to heaven and yet he said the Lord said to my lord sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet you now stay right here at the right hand now all of us know that the God is a spirit so right hand had to represent something ahead I represent the place of power you come here and sit at the place of power and if you sit at the place of power God will make your enemies your footstool now to maybe understand that a little bit more we may have to back up to the first chapter where Jesus is talking to them a few days earlier said I need you to go back to Jerusalem and I need you to stay there until you receive till you receive power from on high and so he and a couple of verses before that if the Bible said he spent 40 days talking to them about the kingdom I'll get to that in a moment he said now I I want you to stay there to your half power now there are to be something going on in the church right now after we finish out after we finished sing after we finished come looking good they ought to be some power now if you don't think that this ought to be the message then I want you to spend a moment thinking about what's going on right now this we heard last night it's the Lord's church in his church if it's the Lord's Church it ought to have some y'all not to be watered down power it ought not to be yesterday power but I want to be a power that you change our life no matter who they are all their lifestyle if you show up at the church your life will change if it's the Lord's Church you said that I need you to go back to Jerusalem because it's got to be a Church of power there ought to be power in my church now I want you to go back to Jerusalem and stay there until you get it now I gotta I gotta go a little bit further let me dig a little bit further and that is we got a really understand when we talk about power the realm of power that that's why the tabernacle is a great tool for us to understand Scripture because it tells us about the three realms the out of court the holy place and the Holies of Holies those of us that have been old enough mr. Bauer's to have been around with the father's remember the times when they used to have the tabernacle up there and used to teach us about its realm what we remember is that each round had its own rule out of court had its own rules uh but and folks that were out in the outer court couldn't just go into the holy place there were some different rules that had to be adhered to to get into the holy place and everybody in the holy place couldn't go into the Holies and so we started to learn about the different categories realms and we started to understand that an out-of-court your even in the church today you'll note that there are no Saints there out of God says you're trying to get out of court say - like their power you're not gonna have power in the outer court you will have to come by by some rules and so and so we have this this this knowledge that we gotta take in because it's so important right now because our church the Lord's church is being watered down week by week another denomination rather than saying there's power here so I said come on come on don't have to change but there's got to be a church and a might as well be the church that has his name that decides we're gonna be the Church of power and so know there's this realm now in the out of court in the in is the area of favor I've down they say it's favorite song it's all when you're out there that's why you could be a carnal sing it means you're in charge of God's blessing me it's the welfare system it's the wilderness but no one Israel left the wilderness to go into the Promised Land different rules the manner stopped and when they move from there here to now the Promised Land they now have to work for what they wanted let me park here for just a moment because you see sometimes what happens is because we don't acknowledge the change we as leaders sometimes get messed up and we become out-of-court leaders without a court message and then the Lord shows up and ship things and all of a sudden he says I want some power but if we don't understand what that entails we'll continue to be an out of court looking for God's favor so the first time a devil shows up you don't know what to do you stop doing the wrong thing because what guides the out of court is action and so what you sue is you call your security team and say get him out of here now a devil comes to church a devil come stir we are trying to get that devil out of that individual and get that individual saying because the church is a church of power so but but we instead call the security team take him out and the truth is is that we're not operating in that realm that we are - now what guys that realm of power is not action it's sound it's a word what a devil comes in you don't fight that demo you speak whatever you burn on earth shall be bounded whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven open up your mouth once we begin to understand it's the south have you ever got to that place that you just heard a sound and you know people were being healed just livid transformed just by a on the day of Pentecost there was a as a Russian now the Lord blessed us by letting a sound come back it was on earth from the beginning the Bible says that Adam heard God walking he did see you see when you're dealing the spirit world its sound he God my my my my my my my and so what happened is that a little later on men got together understood the power in sound they got together and look what they did they said we're going to build a tower into the heavens for our glory now see they were all right as long as they were willing to stay in the earth but they wanted to go into the spirit realm for their glory now look what the Lord said about them the Lord came down and said you know as long as they are together with one sound on one Accord anything is possible that ought to be let us know something how to start getting some stuff done just get on one Accord he said if if that sound comes in and we get on one Accord so he came said well what I gotta do he brought then a division of the language to break up man's power here comes Pentecost what does he do he brings back a language now everybody can speak and get on wanna call so that's what happens when now Pentecost that's that's what I ought to be going on is that we have a word we have a word a sound that we can make no matter who comes through our doors they're going to be delivered I said they're going to be delivered it's going to be deliverance time I said it's going to be done see now we begin to understand the power of prayer and even the power of worship and even the power of the word because the holy place is that realm of power because it's the place of sound those three articles that are in that particular rule it all has to do with sound word worship prayer it is the realm of the church did you hear me it is the realm of the church isn't that what we do in church we praise we pray and we have a word that's the church the Lord's Church ought to be a place of power where things are happening right now on your road something more to be happening I said on your row on your row on your row on your roof if something that happened don't look at anybody else you ought to be that vessel right right now now we begin to understand why the old mothers would just hum sometimes when all I had to do was create us just get it begins so it's that area of power so now what we asked the church we got an app focus in on the sound the sound now let me say this the church is not the destiny the kingdom is done what he what he was talking about is where we oughta go in other words when he came he tore the veil so everybody can get into the Holies the church is the place to prepare you for the Holies of Holies so now that I can be washed I can be clean I can be delivered my enemies are now my footstool when I walk into the Holies of Holies and so there ought to be something in the church past this that we're doing that we're moving people towards the kingdom see once you get Kingdom Saints you're not gonna have the worry you got right okay I'll get I'll get to that in a moment but you see him now listen let's go back so we understand what Peter was saying right here in this powerful message he was saying now now you're gonna come get that the Lord said the father said to the son you come to the place of power and you stay here and operate in power and I'll make your enemies your footstool the problem in the church right now is that we have fallen in love with our enemy because the moment the moment you realize that that thing that's on you is your enemy it's doing you in that addition is doing you in that thing that nobody else knows about is doing you in and you turn against it how do you turn against it you open up your mouth and begin to bind the same you begin to bind whatever demonic position is coming at you trying to bring you down you open up your mouth rather than carrying the monkey on your back repel against it and once you repel against it the Lord God will make it your footstool now that's important that's important because we try to kill our enemies and the Lord just wants you to get him off your back turn against them and what he's gonna do he's gonna turn that thing that have been hampering you for the last 20 years and make it your footstool let me put another way that thing that once was your enemy becomes your ministry it becomes the thing that exalts you so now when you go out on the street and you talk to somebody now they will hear that you've been there because out in the street don't want you to come and tell them where you have not been so here we get an example of what the church should be doing and once we stop turn it against those enemies in our life and what we ought to be teaching our people to do is to open up their mouth you form your own prayer line something might hit you on Tuesday you can't wait for Sunday line up in your own house get your oil out pour it as long as you have to get your little hankie waive it lay your hand on your own head become the prophet in your own house you can do it law gave you the power to do it now now there's lot more to it but I really didn't come I needed to talk about the power but remember I said that's not the destiny that's not the end it's the kingdom and the word has been coming throughout the conference the choir has been singing it so I know it's the word for us more of him less of see one of the beautiful one of the beautiful things about when I leave the outer core and go into the holy place is that I come into agreement authority means that you have an agreement you have a contract you have a covered and so you're walking hand in hand hand in hand with the Lord that's why prayer is so important you bring things up in the Lord begins to speak back to you hand and the hand he puts a word in your mouth and you're able to speak it but there is a place that you gotta go where agreement ain't gonna work because now it's all him and none of you it's called ping dunk King Dominion the king is in the way the Lord wants us to get to it's in this day and time is to become the Saints that are willing to strip down from every and anything and begin to walk in what is him what he is all about now there man there's some problems with that obviously because we so worldly we have a problem with just going to Bible study because an ungodly show is on TV there comes there comes a moment that we have to walk away from the TV shows from the movies from the books from from our friends from the telephone and we have to get into a place where it's just you in God and then you retell him and we now sing the song I surrender all but mean it and we begin to come to the place that we where's all of you now the great thing about the tabernacle it's actually just telling us the various phases that God takes us in him favored Authority and then here is in him privilege when I get in the Holies of Holies I'm privileged see there got to be some privileged folks in this place you understand favor you understand Authority but God has taken you through something and now you know your privilege let me see if I can just describe it so you know it if that's you you see this area of privilege this this area of Kingdom this this area that God has now called for us to be is a very special place that is calm now now now it's called when we walk in this place no opinion and me let me let me put it let me put no choice these have no options this place where you get into this place whatever God says see you have now I I just talked about leaders deny that leaders we have to know when that shift happens but problem with Moses was he did not recognize the shift see here it goes at the beginning when they hit the wilderness the Lord said to Moses you want water go to the rock and strike the rock in other words you're in the place of favor go and strike it action strike it he came back at the end of the journey when they were getting ready to go into the Promised Land and the Lord said now I need a leader for power and authority I need a leader that can open up their mouth and see something and so now I want you to glorify me at this moment for what I'm about ready to do so when you go to the rock I need you to open up your mouth and leaders that's why we can't let forget to us you can't let them get under your skin and get your mind messed up because they will mess you up and you'll miss the shift because the more God shifts you in him is less you have to deal with people he said I want you to go speak to the right when Moses got there rather than speak he showed he was a leader of favor of action he struck it and that's why the Lord said okay you're not the man I got a call Joshua now to take the people over as we're getting ready now in this moment in time and God shifted into Kingdom and he's saying we as leaders got to be the firstfruits in other words we're the ones that's gonna have to give up something in and listen to what God is saying and be able to walk sometimes we don't want to walk do what we don't want to do say what we don't want to say but if this is what you want me to do Lord I'm just gonna show up now now now in the story the face was that this woman look how she started out she saw the Prophet coming so she was in favor she was a out of court Saint she was a favor she she she blessed the man argon said let's build a room let's do something for him and so favor is great because what favor means is that you won't get something that doesn't match up with what you gave see that's why seed harvest that's it's in that realm I plant a seed I get a harvest I didn't deserve a harvest for a seed but I got it and so in this realm what happened was that she gave the Prophet a room and got a son a son that she could not have gotten favored now know what happened this is what happened she said when the Prophet said at this time next year you gonna have a son she said don't play with me that's my sensitive area my husband's old my womb is closed don't play with me like that probably no no I'm not playing this is this is what's gonna happen and so so she said now we gotta we gotta have a covenant here you know now that I get this son it's gonna be it's gonna be my joy it's gonna be now know when you have opportunities you enter into agreements with God because that becomes your authority now what happens next seen the son die she now Washington she says I have an agreement I got a covenant she put the son down in the bed told husband send me a servant I got a trip to me the husband said what's up he said you don't even have to worry about it because right now I got me some authority I don't have to ask for your help I got this told the seven I want you to go as fast as you can do it don't even wait on me out somehow I'll keep up I really got to this when I got to Alicia Alicia saw coming Center seven I'll go find out what the deal is because I see her coming and the seven ran up and ran up to us and said is that what's going on he said don't worry nothing's going on got up to Alicia fell down grabbed his feet which was kind of inappropriate semi-dry to back up militia said no no no I can see the stress on her right now so she then told situation said didn't I tell you not to play with me and didn't you tell me didn't you tell me that you're not gonna play with me there are moments that you get serious with God god I gave up everything on your word you put me out here I didn't come out here on my own you have me here and now all of this is going on lord I need you right now to do this this and this see that's the basis of all night prayer Bishop Jones is that I'm gonna stay right here until you do what you said she Alysha said now we gotta figure this so I had I agree with her you go lay my staff on the boy go on go ahead duh seven took off Alysha notice the woman was right there beside him so not you gonna going go back see about your side she said I am leaving here where you go I go that's called authority you get into that realm you gotta know who you I said you gotta know who you leave until you come to see about my son story goes he gets there sees about the Sun Sun comes back to life now didn't spend time talking about all of the anguish she must have went through the anxiety the hurt the pain the UPS the down the mountains and the valleys Oh - now exercise authority when we move in this round we're gonna go through some changes it's not going to be peaches and cream you're gonna have to know you're gonna go through to get to where God wants you and what you have to know is that while God is doing in he's not working on the outside he's working on them when he's taking you through these changes he's actually now making you precious see that's what Joe was talking about he said now when I been tried I shall come as pure now I'm worth something so he's comes and she goes with him he's there gets his son back now sometime later comes now the shift for the third rail the key in this realm is that I have no choice in this rail the benefits of no choice is privilege you already experienced it it's called living in your parents house you didn't choose who your daddy or your mama no choice you didn't decide when you went out and when you came home no choice you didn't decide what was for dinner no choice there were a lot of things you had no choice about but then you had privileges you have privileges that you didn't have to pay the heat bill refer bail clothes you didn't you'd have to pay you you were covered it's called privilege now when you go into this area of no choice you have to understand you got privileges and you're the prisoner in this area let me give you another example Prince William Prince is George they didn't have no choice they were born into the royal family no choice they they got to live a life that you and I I don't think will want to live you know always in a glass house everybody looking at everything that you do every move that you make you know we got the shades down and we still got problems and and and now but what they did is the privilege of being the Prince of being royalty and so when they show up folks respond to them and usually when they show up they get stuff that you and I I mean your folk just give it up just because of who they now him the woman comes and before the Lycia militia says this something's gonna happen so it's gonna bring a family seven years you got to go away to another land for seven years and stay there now what she noted was that if she went away for seven years she was going to lose everything because if you stayed away that long your property reverted to the king and as now becomes his Dominion so she went away she realized that she was going to be losing everything but isn't it great to know when the Lord puts you under no choice that you're gonna have some privileges let me put it let me say something to the Evangelist those that God called you and send you out to evangelize do you remember in Scripture when he says you listen don't take no stuff with you just show up and because your mind because your priveledge thought will take care of you so he set that up and what we have to know is that when God sends us when we have no choice or what we have to do is to begin to move move now weird what happened is that she went out she lost everything but now she comes back she's coming back to the king and when she comes back to the king she had an ax mind what she was gonna say but because of who she is all she had to do was to where she showed everything just released I need some folks right now that God has already been working on and working with and has been putting his hand on your life and you you've been going through some stuffing you hurt you hurt your pain you cried all night long god bless you you took a follow you over the situation's and work stuff out and you know that that's behind you but now he's giving you no choice about some stuff and he says this is what you've got to do and you've been praying and fasting trying to get God to change his mind I'm here to tell you the best thing that could ever happen to you just I have no choice in your in your life because I need you to bless everybody around you you see the people who get to bless other people other no choice people you just get into their presence and you begin to feel different you come there and they got a word that blesses you it out lifts you somebody in this far to be a no choice person and recognize it you need to tell your role I'm the person I'm the person I'm the one on this road that's been going through but there's ash out there then there's this something going on there I feel something bubbling up from the from the inside because I I realize I'm almost at destiny I'm almost at the place when the Lord will turn everything all right David was sitting out in the field bishop young he had no choice he was the youngest one he should have been up under his parents he should have some all the ones out there tending to the sheep but they sent him out into the field he had no choice sometimes you're out there and you're wondering women is God going to show up when is he gonna turn everything around but while you're out there get it on work in your field take authority over the lion and the beer do what you gotta do oh by your even though your friends don't know what's going on still do it because you're privileged and they will come a moment when God will exalt you you won't have to put a sign on your back you will have to take out an ad God will exalt you Samuel will show up and say you gotta have another son and all you have to do is show up and you become the king sometimes you took 90 own business and God gives you a dream so your parents are gonna brown down and then you're dumb enough to tell them your dream and everybody gets mad at you because now you got a destiny that's gonna take you somewhere but then you didn't know what you had to go through to get there you didn't have no choice about that dream but God set it to you and now he set it up you set it up did you have a dream I said you're gonna be here but next thing you know you know your brothers are selling you you're a slave you end up in somebody's house you're trying to do good and part of a wife come after you trying to do what's right and you Oh father help me and now you end up in jail no choice you're still dreaming and you're interpreting dreams and you're giving and you're giving wisdom to other folks and you're telling them don't forget and as soon as they step out they'll forget you Bishop and here all of a sudden yeah out there nobody and then because your privilege you got a word all your life all you have to do is show up you tell Pharaoh his dream I said you need a man who will be able to lead and prepare the people and get ready for the seven bad years during the seven good years and Pharaoh looked at his men all of them then he looked at who just showed don't get mad at yourself because you're the last one on the totem pole just showed up on the job sometime all you got to do is just on this evening there are some people in this room who knows
