Bishop Wayne Huntley preaching “The Treasure Is In The Field” UPCI General Conference 2019

I shall preach this evening from a single verse that has challenged charged and changed my very be in your Bibles you will find it in Matthew chapter 13 and verse number 44 Matthew chapter 13 and verse number 44 I believe Jesus was probably feeling what I'm feeling here tonight when he opened this powerful parable with this first word again again it's as though he was saying I've already told you this I've tried to get this through to you and so I'm going to say again the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field the which when a man hath found he hide us and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field I like for you to know just in a passing thought you cannot buy the treasure you must buy the field and I will preach to you tonight the theme of my life and the very challenge and charging aspect of the Word of God the treasure is in the field the treasure is in the field which you clap your hands and shout that out loud the treasure is in the field and you may be seated every apostolic Pentecostal preacher I have ever known in my life is possessed by a passionate pursuit for the treasures of the Spirit you could probably say that all of us and describe all of us as being on a spiritual treasure hunt by the word treasure I am referencing miracles signs wonders divine demonstrations supernatural intervention about to fall harvest of souls a powerful productive productive ministry the operation of the gifts of the Spirit and most of all a book of Acts revival if by chance I preach tonight to such an audience would you clap your hands and lift a thunderous shout of yes unto the Lord yes somebody you need to understand but I tell you of my illustrious discovery and that which I have found you need to know that you're gonna listen to a man preach tonight that my wife says can't find a gallon of milk in the refrigerator so I am standing before you with uncontrollable joy excitement and enthusiasm to declare unto you I have found it I have found the treasure and it ladies and gentlemen is hidden in the field and for Samuel 6 and 13 the first to see the return of the art to Israel was the people of best commish they were in the field reaping the harvest when the ark returned the first to see the ark that which represents the glory the power the presence and the promises of God with his people are those that were in the field in Ruth chapter 2 and verse number 2 Ruth said these wonderful words to Naomi let me now go to the field it was in the field and because of the field that Ruth got her name added to the lineage of the Messiah and she became forever famous in the Jewish history the Christmas story highlights that humble shepherds were visited by heavenly angels while they were in the field so I rise to preach to you tonight the treasure is in the field the spiritual jewels you are looking for have been located they are in the field for many years in our historic Apostolic Church we struggled with inadequate inferior facilities places of worship but thank God today we are blessed with many times the most magnificent church buildings in our cities would you clap your hands and shout thank you Jesus we are blessed with marvelous edifices where we preach the truth however I sense in this generation there is a danger that it is possible for us to prioritize them and become infatuated with them until we become imprisoned by them we must refuse to become prisoners to our pulpits bound in our buildings and incarcerated in our congregations I didn't have it in my notes but I added it and that's this when you son a while ago there's no shadow you won't light up there's no mountain you won't climb up coming after me there's no wall you won't kick down why you won't tear down to me and you shouted with the singers while they sung that but I like for us to shout tonight as we sing to our world there's no shadow we won't light up there's no mountain we won't climb up there's no wall we won't kick down there is no lab that we won't tear down because the Apostolic Church is coming after you the treasure is in the field pastor the leadership team with gifts talents expertise and abilities you so passionately pursue and pray for to lead your church are not in your neighboring pastors congregation they are not in your neighboring pastors congregation but they can be found in the fertile fields and jewel ism outside the walls of your church your next choir director may be intoxicated tonight your next actor each director maybe Ohio drugs tonight your next Bible study director may not even know his name tonight because the treasure is in the field the spirits who give divine demonstrations unexplainable spiritual visitation of supernatural power of God are waiting for you to discover them in the field it was a few years ago I stood in North Carolina on the platform of a crusade in a park in a poverty ridden city in North Carolina and while on that platform I watched hungry souls receive the Holy Ghost before an altar call was even given and the Spirit of God spoke to me as head this is where I have been all along I've been waiting on you to come there's walls we've got to tear down there's barriers we got to break through your treasure is in the field tonight if you are ready to be delivered from the boredom of churches usual if you're weary with refereeing disgruntled professional pew dwellers if you're tired of just routinely being the young and burying the old comforting the afflicted and afflicting the competent starting church at ten o'clock sharp and ending at 12 o'clock dull come join us in the field because the treasures you're looking for are not under your altar there not on your carpet they're not under your steeple they are in the field the field in which I speak tonight is a neighboring unchurched community an adjacent unchurched city a massive metro city of multicultural people prepared for a worldwide revival within the borders of north america the master hid the measure in the field simply because that's where he wanted his church that's where he wanted his church when Patsy and I committed to go to North Carolina to start a church with thy believers there a well-meaning concerned person advised us not to go we were evangelizing blessed to have a busy schedule this person said if you go your ministry will die and you'll never be heard of again but a prayer meeting in an earnest time of prayer I heard the voice that overrides all other verse voices and he said if you below I will go with you and I will show you my power like you have never seen it because the treasure is in the field clap your hands and shout yeah give me just a few moments indulge me to share just a few of the innumerable spiritual treasures Patsy and I found in the field as oft is the case with a new church plan we have more crowd than we have cash can I get a witness from some home missionaries just cause you got a few folks coming don't mean you got a lot of money you usually have more crowd than you have cash I got a message for you tonight but the answer was found in the field some of the most precious people I've ever known Jim and Frances Turner they're here tonight somewhere I met them in the field a denominational Sunday school teacher taught him a home Bible study I remember the night they stood side-by-side one of those glasses would flying across the sanctuary both of them filled with the Holy Ghost baptized in Jesus name the next time I went out to the Bible steady Jim said hey brother Huntley somebody tomokawa on the build of church I said that's right he said do you know I'm a licensed architect he said right then I'm going to design your building higher building I'm gonna build your church absolutely free and since then he's built a lot of other Apostolic churches and tonight he's a licensed United Pentecostal church pastor ladies and gentlemen the treasure is in the field in the field is where I met Earl Kirk and his family living in a mobile home way back in the woods trying to skate society and culture I asked us what can I teach him a Bible study I said what would I'll think about that you know what she said he won't hurt you I mean he looked like somebody could hurt you he won't hurt you I thought boy that's incur I went out and talked to Bible study I remember the night with Pastor David Gilbert was preaching for us on a Wednesday night and as he started his altar call Earl Kirk stepped down in the middlee aisle he got halfway down and he dropped to his knees and he called the rest of the way with his Bible in his hand speaking in other tongues as God gave him the utterance but I'm telling you about our Kirk tonight not just because of his conversion but what I realized was he was a billboard artist for one of the largest billboard companies in Raleigh and he said I'm going to get us some billboards and he had erected for us seven billboards at one time advertising our church absolutely free in the City of Raleigh at that time they rented for $1,500 a month a piece I'm preaching to you the treasure is in the field and I'm getting ahead of myself by here but I got to tell you something's about to happen to change the whole paradigm in America the overseas folks the global missions folks are going to be equal in stories of miraculous demonstration and power not 5,000 miles from here not 10,000 miles from here but all over North America the treasures in the field it was in the field where I met Doug yet what and I was teaching him a Bible study he said tomorrow pastor I'm gonna go visit my nephew he just found out he has terminal cancer and he doesn't have long to heal I'm glad to tell you Doug was a modern-day Cornelius God filled him with the Holy Ghost he was baptized in Jesus name but we went over the next morning sub is it his cousin or his nephew when we walked in that little house you could hear screaming back in the back of the house such as desperation I've never heard Dennis came out in a little bit and he said excuse me man I'm just trying to get adjusted to the fact that I'm a dying man and I'm struggling with it I prayed for him this a little while and lived a few days letter later I met Doug and Doug said Oh pastor Huntley I gotta tell you what happened I said what happened he said I talked to Dennis the next day and Dennis said that that you brought with you to my house he said it was pastor Hundley the United Pentecostal church he said oh no Doug no he said that's not what I mean who man you brought in here he said it was a pastor honey he said no I saw Jesus he said I saw Jesus tell him to please come back I need to talk to him I started a Bible study with him he had bring us his influence would bring 50 people a Sunday to our church he didn't have long to heal so I remember the day he taught a few lessons and then I knelt down beside him as he was sitting in a recliner I put my hand on his knee and I said Dennis we're running out of time I don't have time to finish the Bible study let me tell you what you need to do you need to repent you need to be baptized in Jesus name you need to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost in the next service or two that's exactly what happened and in just a few months I was over Colorado getting ready to preach at camp when I got a call that told me dennis has escaped the dark domain of disease and today he's shouting on the sunny bakes of sweet deliverance he'd gone home to be with the Lord ladies and gentlemen you won't find that in the routine Church you won't find it in institutionalized assembly you will find that a treasure is in the field one last little story but a sweet little lady come to our church get the Holy Ghost get baptized her husband was a hopeless helpless mean big alcoholic one Saturday I said sister long I want to come see James she said oh brother honey don't come today he's drunk I figured it wouldn't be hardly a day I could go eat one from what I hid her so I went oh she said he's in he's in the kitchen sitting there at the table I walked in he's leaning over the table like this she said brother Huntley he's here to see you James yeah so uh I said down he stretched his hand as he was huge mine disappeared I'm getting ready screams I'm warning you when he took my hand he took my please go I said what is it he said show me your hand why did he got in your hand nothing he said oh yes you do you got something in your hand because when I shook your hand something went through me like electricity I'm glad to tell you it wasn't long until he was speaking in tongues drunk on the Holy Ghost ties in Jesus name and he went on to be with the Lord a part of the redeemed Bride of Christ you say I wish I had stories like that you will never know them you will never have them I'll tell you in the field [Applause] years ago I was in a powerful conference and at the end of the conference there was a message in tongues and interpretation and the interpretation was this because the American church the North American church has been selfless sacrificed and sent men and women to the far-flung regions of overseas just before the rapture of the church I will bring to North America the overseas revival we love you brother Hal but we're tired of listening to your stories we love your missionaries but we're tired of getting our stories secondhand God said I'm gonna give the North American Church some of the most glorious wonderful powerful stories of convictions and revival and thousands multitude millions being filled with the Holy Ghost [Applause] receive it touch your neighbor say I receive it remain where you are just a minute don't get your hopes up I'm a preacher a little bit more remain right where you are just a moment we cannot move in to where we want to go tonight until somebody steps into this room with some authority and anointing because God has promised to do some magnificent things therefore I rise to stand tonight to say I rebuke fear in the North American Church I you down in the North American Church I rebuke perf ISM in the North America Church I rebuke selfishness in the North America Church I'll loose ministries i loose revival i lose faith i loose evangelism [Applause] turn around somebody say the treasure is in the field get out of your church break out of your church quit being a line behind your pulpit and a mouse in your streets a loose bonus the first miracle after Pentecost came because Peter and John said look owned us they can't see us when we're behind our walls they can't hear us when we're behind our walls we got to go to the streets we got to go to the parks we got to go to the convictions and shut world look on us listen to us preach listen to us pray listen to us sing look at our God clap your hands and shout yes there's no shadow we won't light up there's no mountain we won't climb up we're coming after them there's no wall we won't kick down there's no lie we won't tear down because this is our moment of destiny [Applause] now in order you may be seated just a moment in order for us to have the overseas revival in North America we have to have global missions methods in North America if we want global missions results we must have and employ global missions methods which meets Church beyond our walls the dream for the North American church is a paradigm shift and here it is every Church becomes a mother every pastor becomes a bishop and by that I mean you sponsor you supervise you you become the tutor and a sponsor to multiple churches that are under your supervision under the canopy of your church here's what's going to happen between now in the rapture they're not gonna ask you how many did you have on your bus that means you're having a prison service amid you have I in your outreach on Saturday they're gonna ask you this pastor how many churches do you Pastor God wants us to not pastor just one church but three congregations five congregations Ted congregations with the young men in our church pastoring those churches no longer will the credibility of our churches be judged by buildings bank accounts or bodies on the pews excuse me brother Gleason I forgot a point and you're looking right at me every Church and mother every pastor a bishop every saint a disciple maker [Applause] no longer will our credit credibility be well I've got a church building of 8 million we've got 2 million in the bank we've got 500 bodies on the pews we're not gonna measure our churches anymore by buildings bodies or bank accounts and now we'll be measured simply by hands in the harvest how many preachers are out of your church how many missionaries are out of your church how many pastors are now out of your church how many evangelists are now out of your church God wants us to take North America this is our moment [Applause] and I rise to tell you right now ladies and gentlemen this is not just gonna happen it is happening right now can I get a witness from some preachers who feel that wind blowing do you feel that fire burning
