his job to the Wrights going to come right now whatever he feels and the Holy Ghost amen because he's prayed he sought the Lord and God has given him some direction I believe for this service for his home missionaries if everyone that's gathered in here praise God I want you right now amen to just open your heart thank God you made your way back to the seat just raise your hands again and say thank you Lord for speaking to me thank you Lord for sending the man of God with the Word of God that would bring light and life into my spirit and let me see Oh God sometimes we become blind in to our circumstance and because of our situation even God can bring a revelation to us that will open the way and cause the lights to be turned on in our our situation praise God amen put put your hands together for the Chester Reich Annapolis Maryland come back [Music] hallelu you can we just love him with a level name a little bit we just love on the Lord a little bit [Music] can we just love on him a little bit no come on please please I know it's a little difficult but I promise you we're not going to something else we're going to continue what's already happened not go this this is the work of the Holy Ghost it's not we didn't get out and plan this we didn't say okay you're going to speak on this you're going to speak on this the Holy Ghost has done all that for us come on come on just a little bit farther can we do that and go a little farther here in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus I have experienced this week one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do in my life Monday night after church I had to get my vehicle and drive down here and the reason that was so hard because I was leaving behind three weeks of the greatest move of God I have ever experienced in my sixty years around Pentecost the kind of moon that you dream about pray about weep far confess five Devils over despair it ever happened October the Godman I said there's only one way I wouldn't leave this and come I've made a commitment but there's only one way I willing to leave this and come to the conference this year he said what's that I said is that if I have any hope that I can bring that there and I told him I said you know sometimes you go around other people and go other places and it's really hard to be yourself and some of you would have sarcastically half kiddingly say you've ever had a problem being yourself more than you know I don't know if I've ever gone anyplace other than Antioch and was truly Who I am and what I am whatever but I'm working real hard at this week that's kind of restrained last night and I've been little less restrained this morning but I'm working up to it it's not an easy thing to do crowds of Pentecostals 9 out of 10 times don't encourage a move if they suppress it I told a man last night I said God wants to use you mildly you've been begging him and praying for God to do some things in your life in your church and he wants to do it but he can't it's not the devil keeping it from happening it's you that's keeping it from happening it's one thing to be submitted to those in authority over us it's another thing to be submitted to the opinion of our peers submission to authority is of God conforming to the opinion of our peers is totally contrary to Scripture and God tests every man that he calls every woman that he calls and puts you in situations where you have to choose to do what he wants you to do or fit in and how you handle that test determines whether he ever gives you what you're asking for or not - absolutely right I didn't say this but the Godwin said to me you know when the Israel was in such trouble God an to send them to prophets to finally get the message across Haggai and Zechariah we just heard Haggai you're going to think whether chefwell and i have planned this together but if you preacher you understand nobody wants to preach the same message right after somebody else [Music] all the context will be different the personality will be different the approach would be different but the message is exactly the same that's how determined God is that you receive this tonight he's determined the Lord's Turman good this morning today whatever time is I appreciate brother Dylan so very much because we don't have a start and a stopping time we have a basic order that the three of us go in but we've been made to understand that we're supposed to obey God so if you check your schedule I don't know what time it is right now and I'll quit just as soon as God's done [Music] [Applause] I was in Norway the first part of July and now that I'm sixty I'm finally wise enough to understand a few things and that's that I do a whole lot better when I go someplace early and rest especially if the time zone changes are significant enough so my son David and I went to Norway and we were going to be over there for a conference we went in a couple days early and just go around that beautiful beautiful nation and I'm people watcher I study people I study people more than I talk to him you say man it's okay and I got up to teach in the first session and the Lord began to open my understanding some things in fact there's one Greek word when it talks about spiritual understanding the Greek word understanding is to put things together understanding is when God puts things together that's what we heard this morning we received understanding God puts some things together okay I got up started talking in and I looked at some faces and folks that I can see the only thing man he is really smart and I'm thinking to myself if you only knew I don't know what I'm talking about I'm just listening to repeating and I'm blown away by what's coming because I didn't even know I knew this but as I began to talk it I realize I've been doing it for years I said to them you know if you if you observe the men of a culture and later on I realize the Lord said it doesn't just work for a culture works for a church if you observe the men of a culture or a church you can determine the character of that group of people not the character of the men the character of your whole group of people you can determine the the strength of that group of people by watching them in if if that group of people has character it will be reflected in the men if that people has strength that will be reflected in the men but if you observe the women of a culture or a church you'll be able to determine the spirit of that culture or that group or that church you'll be able to determine that the depth the depth of devotion the passion men do not reflect the spirit or the passion women are emotion first intellect second men are intellect first emotion second men don't reflect the spirit very well women are naturally more sensitive to the spirit world than men are therefore since its natural to them they can't help but reflect and broadcast the spirit of a culture the spirit of a church and Norway you know standing that standing avian women have been known as beautiful for years and everybody understands if you consider blonde blue-eyed that's you know I mean so many of them could be baubles you know but there's no sensuality there you go to real Brazil that even the ugly ones are sensuous because it's the spirit of the culture Norway is the only nation in Europe that wasn't converted to Christianity voluntarily the Danish King several hundred years ago took his army to Norway when he'd come to a village he give them an ultimatum become Christians or die those villages that converted were allowed to live the villages that refused to convert from their pagan God would be killed so Norway eventually became Christian at the point of a sword the underlying spirit of Norway it is the the main European nation that is still not and refuses to be a part of the European Economic Community extreme fiercely independent afraid of nothing needing nothing they call their weather I mean this is the Norseman the North Men the Vikings where all these people came from they call their weather invigorating we call it horrible I mean summertime is in the seventies goes down from there but they're an extremely outdoor oriented people and I said to the Lord those first two days how do you reach a group of people that are independent self-sufficient and with no obvious need from their perspective you can reach a needy people without spirituality without a move of God you find a way to meet their need they'll come be parted but you can't reach the people who are rich and increased with Goods and have need of nothing naturally yeah okay do it and the Lord spoke to me from Zakaria you know how the Lord gives you something sometimes you knew before you'd heard before but even though he gave it to you again it was like fresh and brand-new and he simply I said to him how are we going to reach this nation and he said it's not by might not by power but by my spirit says the Lord of hosts the thing that bothers me so much I'm gonna let you sit down in just a moment there's just not a whole lot supernatural in gonna cost anymore we are characterized by predictable the coastal program [Music] that defines us we got it all planned out we have it all organized we have it all program eyes and it's sad what we call a move of God these days and we confess how sadness by the name we give to it we had a divine interruption my god because does God have to interrupt our predict abilities to do something supernatural unfortunately the evidence is yes you may be seated Booker Zachariah is probably one of the most significant books concerning our generation in all the Old Testament it is the book the chapter or chapter 4 especially of Zechariah is the chapter that specifically refers to our day as you well know Old Testament prophecies and words from God have a natural or an immediate current application but frequently their long-term or future tense application is even of greater significance the short term application was the temple had been has a foundation lead and nothing else was happening what's happening it was all at a standstill like we've been for the last hundred years still working on the foundation still working on it you don't believe it just go to most conferences and hear what people preach it's all foundation stuff preaching it over and over and over and over again now in a whole missions work when you got a bunch of new converts you need to hear that but do I need to hear that is there somebody here that needs to hear that you need to hear all over again the necessity of baptism of Jesus name the necessity in filling of the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues we say you need to understand the necessity of living a separate like somebody's got a preset see all over again we've spent a hundred years for the foundation I understand I understand I understand the greater the hyaline structure is going to be the more more time and work that goes into the Foundation's the first time we ever built a building on appleís my impatience was amazing I drove people nuts I want to know what do we do it why do we have to spend all this time digging why do we have to do all of this when are we going to build and they patiently answer the question for the umpteenth time because this is the most important part of the building I know but I can't have Church on a foundation it's not the building hallelujah I promised you I wasn't going to hold back so here goes I can't wait for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to finally be built because it's not in existence today we got a bunch of folks that have a church on a foundation hallelujah maybe some of us even got a slab forward I got a slab where there used to be a building and three years later it's still just a slab and I think the Lord was trying to get a message across that's not that's not the house that's not it hallelujah hallelujah how you look something really awesome about turning 60 all that stuff I used to preach when I was younger everybody said I was crazy the wild man he's a lunatic you know all that stuff it's back I want to see what he's too young he's a smart aleck hey let me taste something I earned all these gray hairs I earned all of those that are turned loose all these wrinkles and everything else the birth certificate says 60 that makes me an elder and I'm still preaching the same stuff right right praise God Foundation nobility so a vision comes the Nike riot it's the message for zerubabbel that can help construction and the vision is of a less than all of gold and the 8th and Zechariah says to the angel what's this and the angel is totally dumbfounded and says to Zechariah you don't know what this is it's amazing what we as a quote-unquote Apostolic Church are ingred of the heavens are shocked and what we don't know the angel said you don't know what this is he says no my lord no I don't know what I don't know what it is but instead of giving him the explanation of what it was he seemed to give him a completely unrelated response but it wasn't unrelated at all he didn't give him the explanation of what he was seeing he gave him the explanation of how to get what he was seeing and we don't know and they nobody knew until the Isle of Patmos what that lampstand was the last part of the chapter says this is the mystery of the golden not candlestick Lent stand it's the church it's the church yes do you honestly believe that the Lord wasn't aware that the temple was nothing but the foundation that they'd stop building all they spent time was on the foundation that didn't build the rest of the building and that there was do you think the Lord thought it was going to be any kind of correlation to a coming day with a supernatural body you think the Lord didn't realize the parallel oh let me taste something the parallels are intimately specific in their details hallelujah I don't know how to do that but I somehow really managed to do it I'm just trying to be hard to get along with but well some of you just wrote back on your heels and you got me all shut up in the past I'm worried about that I'm not worried today I'm going to preach this to those that will receive it and I'm not learning about the one but not going to do it not going do it you don't think the Lord understood that you don't think the Lord understood there would be a day when his spiritual temple would be only a foundation and they would think that was enough and they quit building on it and he told them he told us the answer it's not by might nor by power but by my spirit says the Lord hallelujah bursts up there for me please I try four or six now that we rich take less read seven oh yeah that's it this is the next verse the Lord is still speaking not by might nor by power but by my spirit saith the lord who are fell all great mountain before zerubabbel thou shalt become a plain the mountains not good it's bad you think God is going to become a plane no whatever the resistance is whatever the opposition is whatever the great obstacle is standing between you and the promises of God the law is promised not by might nor by power but by my spirit says the Lord it's going to become a plane a very flat plate bring no resistance at all and he could bring forth a half stone thereof with shoutings a long time so it's been much of that Pentecost too much praise music praise God I will in a little bit just one soda seed hallelujah crying grace strength under it grace under it there's a subject we don't understand next verse moreover the word of the Lord came unto me saying now here's one of the most quick missed most misquoted verses in Pentecost fact there was an article by very well respected leader a friend of mine in the foreword misquoting dis Berg's whole article is based on the misquote verse 7 9 the heads of rupal have laid the hot foundation this house in his hand shall also finish it it talks about a generation when God does this thing it's going to be done in a generation and thou shalt know the Lord of Hosts that sent me unto you 10 here it is here's where it's quoted who had despised the day of small things as long as this it says for who have despised the day of small things for they relative pronoun referring back to something is it subject shall rejoice who's going to rejoice those that refuse to be satisfied and make small noble [Applause] there's no shame in being small there's shame in being satisfied and being small let's do same it starting with two people then I've done that like so same and having only two or three to break through then the shame is being satisfied with it no no no no we're not bringing that Pentecost because there's too many mouths controlled by the guy that's trying to justify being small this movement wants the money from the big churches but nobody trusts them because they've all got an agenda you're right we got an agenda it's see God do what he promised and we're not going to be satisfied not going to be satisfied not faithful but not satisfied you need to learn to be thankful for everything done bigger little but you gotta quit being satisfied you gotta quit justifying it you gotta quit accepting it as your lot in life the problem is small is a relative term my book of Acts standards we don't have any big churches you talk about water and stuff down oh god I got some folks upset with me a few folks that are older than me well I'm you know I get a senior citizen discount to get that look off me truth is truth and always bend the truth it's always been the truth satisfied satisfied with playing Church and collecting ty my God my God not by might nor by power but by my spirit said Lord let me take you home missionary something if reaching your city is dependent upon you preaches as good or so-and-so or having music as good as so inside most of us don't have a chance we didn't know I didn't go to Annapolis as a good preacher I didn't go we didn't go there with great sing and that's probably the best thing we had going with my life on the organ she wasn't playing praise music either we danced and shouted that won't we have a time when we get over yonder and God is great greatly be free the operative word is we danced and shouted not you know what you want to see the difference between Pentecostal charismatic this is Pentecost this is cares man you know what the difference is I surrender gives me I surrender give me watch it just watch it you see pictures of it watch it oh god I'm cooking I'm cooking I'm cooking I gotta go I gotta calm down here a little bit why we're going to have a movement you know what we've got brethren that are trying to emulate all that brothers that are trying to seek out after all of that they want signs and wonders and miracles I could care less there's anything that happens in these supposedly happens in these Crusades it's not Old Testament people did all that stuff before they ever anybody ever got the Holy Ghost you don't even have to help true to pray for somebody that's sick but old God we want to make a big deal out of miracles limitation but Morgan was preaching our camp and last night he was doing a Holy Ghost crusade he said something in a man I'm not hear it I thought if it was one trigger and the Holy Ghost said this to me when we stop envying them and realize that we can do something they cannot do and it's the most important thing to do what's the greatest miracle God doesn't anybody's life no no that's too generic of turn saves them they say they're saved they think they're saving people what's the greatest miracle God does in a person's life fill some with the Holy Ghost when's the last time you heard of a charismatic crusade for people to come get the Holy Ghost they can't do it they don't do it because they don't have that faith or miraculous level I'm not stupid down to the fair level to compete with them in mirror with the greatest miracle if people receiving the holy cow let me tell you something they teach them if you want to focus on something as a whole missionary that will guarantee you will build a church you do whatever you've got to do to make sure that if the center comes in your door they're going to get the hold of those that they want none of the seeking business none of this seeking business none of this carrion business none of it free pass Pentecost stuff no no you make sure you've got the faith if that person comes in the building to get him in the altar and get them pray through the Holy Ghost you'll build a church because people want the Holy Ghost they want the Holy Ghost you know that was an East Coast guy last night northeast got actually y'all can't relate to us up there you crossed the Potomac River the border between Maryland Virginia you just left the Bible Belt it's the Bible Belt you cross the mountain we don't have big Baptist churches everywhere we got heathens they don't know a thing about God but you know something in 36 years 75% at least of the people who've got the Holy Ghost in our church got the Holy Ghost the very first time they ever came to an altar and at least 50% of the people have gotten the Holy Ghost our church got theirs first time they ever walked in a Pentecostal church building now you don't keep all of them because I don't know anything about God they just come in here something better than ever heard ever heard in their life that feelings something they've never felt in their life they want this you offered to them and you've got confidence you can help them understand how to receive it they're going to get it then you start teaching them they find that cost of discipleship but you know some you pray enough of them through yuppies church everyone and you know something else they get back out there and find that the price of not living for God it's a whole lot better than living for God next thing you know they start coming back it's not bye-bye the word might mean an army of men it's not how many you've got it's not how many are sitting there it's not a cop-out to excuse smallest but it is a verse that gives courage it's where two or three are gathered together in my name I'm in the midst I don't care how small you are if you can get a sinner into the atmosphere of the Lord Jesus Christ you can get them pray through to the Holy Ghost after the day of Pentecost the majority of miracles followed people getting sane not preceded in Acts chapter eight they had all those miracles of Karris Mattox are striving for that was really wonderful wasn't it but they had to have Peter and John come down for the miracle are you going to lower yourself to make your focus people getting healed when God's greatest miracle is people get in the Holy Ghost and you got the inside track on I'm not competition with anybody I am the competition they can't do that there oh they give them to confess the Lord they may feel better they get him repent of their sins they're gonna feel better but it doesn't last very long there's a classhole' there's something more than something more we've got [Applause] you've got it you've got the ball my God my God hallelujah would you really like to know the problem there's a simple really simple explanation of the problem and a simple solution it's like no problem ok you asked for it Matthew chapter 12 what's that verse David is at 34 I don't remember exactly you're the pastor you supposed to remember their stuff now let's try it oh that's close enough 35 36 37 we get in there 38 39 oh lord help me 40 I think it's 42 43 I think it is No come on let's go at 45 44 mmm nope let's go back to 43 when the unclean spirit is going out of a man you know why the average Pentecostal church Apostolic Church and then they double cast out anybody in years and years and years you know why the average Pentecostal should according to the Bible have signs following them the first one before speaking in tongues is casting out Devils and the average Pentecostal rarely even speaks in tongues on you count casting out a devil that if a devil manifests except they're running in different direction we heard about evidence today if someone came into your church and arrested you and your people for being Pentecostal would there be enough evidence to convict you [Applause] somebody walked into your building in your city and arrested you and your people for being Pentecostal would there be enough evidence to convict you you know why we avoid the spirit world because we feel so vulnerable and defenseless here's why next verse then he said I will return into my house from whence I came out and when he has come he findeth it empty swept and garnished you know the problem two of those three things are good swept is a synonym of cleanse cleanse if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness cleanse he comes and find us cleanse that makes us fallible no you know what the third one there is the word garnished is the Hebrew word that is also used as adorn in verses such as women should be adorned in modest apparel it is a key holiness Greek word it speaks about having the out rock side looking right and so here comes the devil he founds the but finds the vessel he had to leave clean no sin and the outside right but the door is open to come and bring seven more worse than him and refill that clean outwardly holy person that's a problem brother shadow right there that's all we focus on that's the judge of a man I preached this in Massachusetts last week in a manifest meet my youngest son was with me said dad every Pentecostal young person raised in the church needs to hear that message this message he said because we're taught the two things we need to focus on is staying forgiving and staying outwardly looking right all right and that's why we're sitting ducks for the devil because my friend the problem of the three is emptying and there are something so valuable it doesn't matter what else you have and how valuable it is if that thing is missing everything else is worthless is it possible to be an empty Pentecostal we're not talking about clear now its class we're not talking about holiness it's gone it's adorned properly how much of I preach it focuses on those two and we leave out the most important because the other two without the first is or worthless worthless worthless empty in ink you know who the source of infamous is not the devil John chapter 7 verse 37 says and last day that great day of the feast Jesus stood and cried say if any man thirst let him come into being drink he believeth on me as the scripture has said out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water the word belly there in the Greek means literally cavity figuratively is translated inner man but the word is literally cavity why because the Creator God when you were born wasn't finished with you yet you are birth and in complete creation that was a part of you that was left unfinished it was left unfinished it was left empty you see we talked about lust and with us a bad thing no no no desire all desire comes from the same source the incidence desire in and of itself is not wrong it's not bad it's how I choose to fulfill that desire but ultimately tax it is good ok Galatians 5 says for the flesh lusteth against the spirit and the spirit lusted against the flesh and these are contrary the one to the other so that's you don't you what and not do the things that you would spiritual paralysis comes when I bounce back and forth between fulfilling the lust of the flesh which is not necessarily sin it's just flesh we got to get this sin business out of our mind there's a lot of stuff that's hindering what we're doing for God it has nothing to do with sin it's called weight with as far as we're concerned if it's not sin it's okay wrong there's a lot of stuff it's not sin just a wink for those that are running now if you're sitting back fat dumb and happy and you don't care anything about a move of God you just haven't have to have you just trying to have just a little bit of a you know just finally won't have enough sighs group so your name can appear off the bottom of the sunday school report then maybe it's not a big deal to you but if this has nothing to do with the Senators to report or gain enough proceeded to get an office won't be up to the people and the person that's leading them who doesn't have a ministry before they get an office and tell me we haven't been a victim of that Pentecost for years not everybody is that what I'm saying but some men had to have an office because it's the only way to have any prestige they don't have any other claim to fame what if the people empty empty that cavity is the source of all desire and in John 7:37 339 Jesus connected thirst or desire with the cavity because that is the source of all desire you know what God loved one Oh and drug addicts and prostitutes and all that he loves people that even though they perverted the way to express their desire to get that desire fulfilled they don't sit back in complacency because if you can ever get that willingness to go through an extreme channels in fulfilling their desire the right way you don't have something but you show me somebody that's good and that's wonderful without God I'll show you somebody you're not going to be a whole lot different when they get the Holy Ghost they're not going to want God all that much more than they wanted the world oh Jesus empty empty empty empty empty empty empty empty empty empty how can we be ante you know that McDonald's has made a fortune not off selling hamburgers hamburgers what gets you in the door did you pay for the coke because they fill the cup with ice and then it's such a small amount of coke they have to sell for that price you know the profit margins in the drinks they sell are huge and you say I want a large coke and they put that cup down there and you sip three or four or five times in its empty you shake that thing and say what's wrong with this they said it was full I saw it sloshing around the top no no you're missing something it was really empty of coke there was just enough foam to appear as though it had some coke there wasn't a whole lot in it and you've left that Coach sit a little while without drinking it and then try to drink it and tell me how much coke is it was in it it gets so watered down you find out there wasn't very much coke it was mostly water do you know how many Apostolic slit their life just like just like that they live a deception they think they're fool but there's so much crud in their heart stuns you know what was called stony ground Jesus was called a stone of stumbling in the rocks of the fish you know what stony ground is a heart full of bitterness and offenses and God gives you the Holy Ghost before you get rid of it because without his spirit you don't have the ability to forgive and to get rid of that stuff and get healed but there's so many Pentecostal one thing gets the Holy Ghost yes the by keeping that stuff well it must not be too bad for me to feel this way God gave me the Holy Ghost with it but let me tell you what happens first time something goes wrong that out here because they get offended at the word you know why they get offended the word because offense is their lifestyle that's their lifestyle not only real offenses but imagined offenses their hearts full of that stuff they think they're full of God and they're not full of God at all they've got just enough taste just enough taste to call themselves Pentecostals but that's not a thing real about some real sees sees the orange looks like it's doing okay but it doesn't take long down the road for what's coming from the seeds of thorns to be more vibrant and healthy than what the word was trying to produce to the point nothing ever really comes to fruition to their eyes empty empty empty empty five and six says and I'm probably very few people in the building that would even come close to not even knowing what that verse is blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled the word fill means completely satisfied the best way to get people in your building is for them to see something in you they don't have the craft I remember that story you told years ago that's that dear sister that was in your church when all of those important people would come you said one time you said Oh Lord judge soweth or somebody like that was in the house please don't let sister well sister who sister Frasier get up and do it today and about that time this is way I remember the story if I've got it a little office best non remember that's that time she gets up and goes Wow starts doing laughter out of place and he said after sir after church at that dignitary said who is that oh that that elderly late I sure wish I had what she had is the our problem is Hey some of y'all was so envious because of the judges and other people I got to coming to his church do you know why they come not because they put on this dignified program you fix because Jerry Wayne Dillon is going to be Jerry Wayne Dillon I don't care who is here and you know what they look at that saying whatever he's got I don't have it and I won't and you're trying to out Baptist the Baptist and I'll program the Catholic and they come in and spit in your placement place ain't no different here than any place out there no way nope no different why do they want to be in your place some of you turn out charismatic the charismatic a couple of weeks ago it was going I mean God was doing it and I I'm not the pastor and more on the bishop and some of you think that's just a title make me feel better no pastor emeritus is not in the scripture and I am NOT pastor emeritus I am not without authority and I'm not a troublemaker you ever heard of Moses on the Mount with his arm race and Joshua in the valley fighting the battle takes two levels of leadership for a church to go beyond where we are and those two levels you got to work together one's got to provide the authority the other one's got to lead in the battle but we take the old men we won't even go out to pasture turn it over will never taste them you know you preach about stocks and bonds this morning we got stocks and bonds in our day and they do the exact same thing today as they did all those years ago they imprison or you had some preachers together they want to take a cup there's a lot more animated talking about the latest stops stopped if they got than they are about the latest person of the Holyoke I know you see what sits down here it's sitting out there don't see it hastily yeah seriously 7,000 square feet if it's nothing my wife drives an Audi a8 i drive a Cadillac Escalade and when the bank looks at my financial statement they think I'm a poor man I don't know Delia Church gets all the benefit from it it's all theirs I can't retire I got nothing to retire on and that was the plan from the beginning because the book says they that preached the gospel should live of the gospel that is in the book in it and then book some places think it's in there I got a kind of investment tip for you try to return that comes on investments in the kingdom of God because if we get that money invested in the kingdom rather than in the secular world we wouldn't have to have that missionaries on deputation [Applause] hallelujah I know there's some people get up pop off bad stuff like that it's not true well I tell you what empty empty lastly which do hunger and thirst after righteousness anybody hungry huh you didn't eat anything this morning how to bowl of cereal didn't last long you think God was stupid ignorant when he use terminology like hunger and thirst what do you think he was trying to communicate something to me about my needs spiritually and you know the average Pentecostal regardless were they on the platform or in the Pew only eats two or three times a week the average Pentecostal doesn't eat unless somebody prepares to Mia for they don't drink unless somebody's on the keyboard now if I go three days without food I'm fasting from food but if I don't eat or drink from Sunday to Wednesday I just fasted Jesus and if I go from Wednesday to Sunday without eating or drinking living water and bread of heaven I just Festa Jesus and you know what happens I get hungry I get thirsty I'm not eating the bread of life I'm not drinking living water so about this the second day after church I'm hungry but I'm not eating bread of life and drinking liver what I'm going to fill it with some time I'm going to do something else I'm going to fill it with something else and so what and then I end up sinning so when I can't come to church where I should be coming in celebrating what God's doing I come dragging into church hoping somebody's going to help get me prayed back through and I get a little sip of water and again get a couple of bites of bread and just enough to kind of get a little bit of strength back and here comes Mundy again and so my life becomes a cycle of coming to church and getting just a little bit of substance to keep from dying and then the rest of the week getting hungry enough to try the world and then coming back to church and getting a little bit and then fast in Jesus and get the hunger and trying the world and that is the definition of Pentecost today right there the exception to that rule is so rare it's hard to find them hard we're busy we're busy working for God we're busy we're working we're not working for God I'm working for God God said if I need anything I wouldn't tell you he's looking for somebody he worked through not something he's going to try to do something for him empty empty empty has got to be there's got to be something happening here there's got to be an awareness you know what we what would the reference that brother shat well made earlier today about my own son Joel his wife cater expecting a baby and it better get the water turned off because my oldest son dated his wife have four nine through three well you know what that's it it's a wonderful thing have gifts the Louisville and sent home and you get to watch but you don't have to worry about correcting that's a wonderful thing I love it really but you know something about those kids so I guess they were just weird and everybody knows if your name right you're weird so I guess they're just weird because the moment they could sit up they were put in a high chair at the table and the tray wasn't a tray it was like a big bowl I mean really had edges rounded and it didn't take very long till they didn't want you putting the spoon in their mouth they wanted you to put something on their trail you know and still don't have it all coordinated and you're feel bad for them while they're trying to get their hand on it and then get it in the mouth that's all over their face and you say here let me help you they don't want any help but you're too young to feed yourself no no no there's something in that thing that understands if I am to survive and grow I've got to learn to feed myself the pinnacle what is the world what are the world are we perfect people that are convinced to have the Holy Ghost ten years twenty years thirty years and never even want to desire to feed themselves some of us don't want to learn feed themselves because the only way we feel like we have any purpose in life is that they need so we don't tie them to Jesus we tie them to ourselves because our our opinion of ourselves is the amount of God preached last night is so warped and messed up and alone that we need people needing us so we become the Savior we become the mediator and we win them to ourselves instead of winning them to Jesus and we leave them empty and we leave them vulnerable to the adversary and then we get our hearts broken when they backslide wondering what happened if you looked at my favorites gospel favorites on my iPod they should pretty modern songs on there you'd be amazed at how diverse my taste of music is I like a lot of it yeah I like I like to listen love that praise music I like it in small doses I like it really but this morning as I was getting dressed and get getting finalized coming over here I had Gaither Vocal Band they were singing some some stuff had my toe tappers made me want to get with this little yeah it will kind of get warmed up Church I'm not trying to offend anybody I like to sing sing in church dancing they sing with my life ever since I met her I play an instrument I'm a musician not against music limitation when all we get as a steady diet of that stuff you can't act like a Pentecostal do there is a spirit of suppression that comes on a church service brother Morgan said something in that camp that just absolutely just sounded like a sonic boom in a Grand Canyon ver berating in my spirit you can get he said you know and then in that holy Oscar say that man you said we need to work you versus Lord go anywhere or Lords it because the Lord first has to fill the house with the Holy Ghost before people can get on us and we're trying to pray people through to the Holy Ghost in places that God never filled the house how do you get God to fill the house well he inhabits the praises of his people [Applause] Pentecostals have forgotten how to breathe so the Lord now you argue with me all you want I've been here to services tell me you not to praise too worried about being weird to worry about being different do worried about your golfing buddies thinking there's something what's wrong with him we think he's spiritual well as a matter of fact as a matter of fact in first corinthians excuse me a Galatians chapter 6 verse 1 you know why we wear more gossipers than we are fragrance you know what we call people and just tear one another up because the Bible says in Galatians 6 and 1 ye who are spiritual restore such a one is overtaking in the fall you know what that word spiritual means to the greatest court affairs it means not only filled with the spirit but governed by the spirit don't tell me your spiritual guts because you got the Holy Ghost that doesn't make your spiritual you're not comparison typical cuz you've got the Holy Ghost in order to think spiritually you got to be not only filled with the spirit you've got to be governed by the spirit and you know what our problem is we have been without a move of God so long we have totally confused the difference between emotion and Holy Ghost we don't know we can't discern a difference in you I'll tell you the difference you can tell it when the music stops if it's emotion the brain stops people sit down if it totally goes you got to sit him down Holy Ghost so want to be set back no no no no not only those were fake God talking about hi [Applause] listen to me this is a big just a minute listen three weeks ago Monday night the night after brother Morgan is with us on the Sunday after camp and then on that Monday night I was going to teach this is what I was going to teach maybe teaching it tomorrow the Lord wills life in the spirit I took pulpit 7 o'clock for the microphone no musicians on the platform and I said let's just and worship the Lord a little bit and I was going a little more a little bit and then I was going to teach a life of the Spirit half hour later they're still getting with it that was a no play they just worship it worship and I go a little farther I keep waiting from the why now all of a sudden the Lord just started bringing people to me in this spirit and I walked over to one of the guys on platform says there's a spirit of prophecy in this house they said let it go I said you don't understand I see the starting point I can't see the stopping I don't know where it's gonna stop we started praying for people minister to people at midnight after over five hours there were still two hundred plus people there want more [Music] not one motor than play Holi I'm not using not again singing I just said you know that music is a - it doesn't produce a movement of God it is the food news expect emulsion but using the food of the Spirit and we're trying to compete with music we have not had a service in three weeks left lasted less than three hours it hasn't been an official sermon we preached we've taxing some night but the God was fixed to come I told those I told the church they said we got Reaper coming but here this right now you can forget Church as usual you hear me when the revival that God has promised starts there is going to be anything you're used to that will remain everything that you call Norman I'm not talking about doctrine I'm talking about all this program we've got all this Pentecostal predictability there's going to be anything you recognize less that's not going to be any place for it no room for because what we do is all about control and a move of God is all about giving up control [Applause] not trying to make it happen but flowing with it what are you doing right now Lord what do you want to do what do you want to do in the last three weeks I've seen people that have been sitting for years that has responded to the best preacher the best teaching from in-house or outhouse come to breach not one time but when the gap between those that one is God and those that wanted to be left alone was widened those that were want to be left alone started looking around saying whoa something's different about here and we can't hide anymore because we're the ones sitting doing nothing and everybody knows where the empty you know why I'm preaching about this not you not so you'll take all run on appleís no no no you're missing the point you don't have to be anybody special to have this you don't have to be a great preacher you don't have to have great music you don't even have to have any music you don't have to have a building I built it it's nothing but a plan we craft the walls in a Sunday School room and fiber chairs in there there's hardly no room to do anything it's not about facility it's not about music it's not about how eloquent you're preaching it's about thus saith the Lord not by might nor by power but by my spirit saith the Lord you want something to happen in your city if I haven't got your math right now I'm about to get you man David wouldn't know what to do in our services because in our services the people worship in his day the leader the worship no but we're good we're good at telling them what to do brother Dylan I'm submitted to you and I'm not here to cause you trouble I'm not here to cause you trouble but I'm going to say what the Holy Ghost give me to say and if I don't come back so be it it won't be the first time or the first place I will tell you what I I wish I could have brought him without making a spectacle out of it my god are you got a campus ministry going on our Community College not very far from the church I was a little short guy brought in the service shortly I he might not be much more than five feet tall brought him in service and he was best bug I ever serviced the youth pastor said he's a Muslim from Jordan he's on exchange here at the Community College I thought well he'll never be back he's back next service a couple of services later I was told he he got the Holy Ghost [Music] I know I have never in my life seen such pure unadulterated joy joy sure it's not fake it's not put on he's not putting on a show for anybody he was raised in a religion with no hope no joy he's afraid his favorite mom and dad to know it but my God if you want him to sit then you got to sit down he's going to be jumping and moving the entire service he started doing cartwheels a couple folks kind of gave it that Pentecostal looks as we don't very bad here no if you don't do that here the Holy Ghost is too in there and you don't walk I got to watching that boy and I thought to myself oh wait wait wait wait wait you're doing it I've had the Holy Ghost 48 and there is no new convert going to enjoy the Holy Ghost more than me there is no new conference going to have more joy in the Holy Ghost more in these you can sit back and be a spectator at you often but I'm no longer that [Applause] even if I face I will be portal holy you know what we tell a coastal to forgotten that the promise is not inflow that promises out please don't tell me you receive the Holy Ghost show me I don't know why our speaking tongues are so special but what I receive the Holy Ghost I were I couldn't have it until yield of this tongue gum I got a question but I got a question for you if this is the most unruly member what's wrong with your feet if the Holy Ghost pains your most unruly remember the day you got the Holy Ghost what happened to your feet on the ground [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] there's gotta be a clue anybody thirsty anybody hungry this gotta be on those you can't have the Bible at harvest without out [Applause] it's gotta be hustle there's got to be outflows there's gotta be outflows there's got to be outflows [Applause] Monday night Monday night we're learning that Ministry of the word is supposed to flow with Ministry of the Spirit the greatest ministry there is is worship it's ministry to God I will bless the Lord at all times his praise shall continually be in my mouth you all know how much response the brain does look for it right below this ministry praise and worship it's ministry and the be a true minister is praise and worship let me tell you the words of a hurricane I'm old world preachers people false ministers what it is if the greatest ministry you can do the greatest ministry can be done is ministering to Bob and that's worship and did require spirit and truth then minister to people which is less than that it's not true ministry unless it's got spirit and truth with it Oh restore us to through ministry God restore us restore restore your people restore your people God restore your people God [Applause] restore your people door there are three God how about the burst of death now the Lord is that spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there's Liberty with the last enemy liberty in [Applause] liberty in your life from the Sun that breathe it's pretty know we're bound by the opinions of our peers we're bound by those that are just nibbling hearing sitting there that are not hungry at our stay [Applause] [Music] my God my God my God my God my God my God my God Naga we're so close we're so close but we're so used to spectate and

the building it has to be sober is the one in charge of the meeting at that moment I got my God my God my God liberty freedom full full full Holy Ghost the Holy Ghost bubble the holy go through the whole to go governed by the Holy Ghost the Holy Ghost governed by the Holy Ghost the Holy Ghost the Holy Ghost our problem is we think all the business emotion oriented an emotion motivating speaking

wouldn't God I wouldn't go no-no-no you hear me no no in Jesus name no what ever had ever hungry heart every thirsty spirit break free from the suppression of the opinion of others let it break breeze

subject unto the Prophet that means the spirit that the Prophet has the authority to stop the spirit from working the Providence a yield of the spirit for the spirit to work when let me taste something else if the spirit of Prophet is subject to the prophet and the Prophet has the authority to stop the spirit from working then the prophet has the same authority to yield and the spirit even if you don't feel any emotion you can't have it one way and not have it the other it's not one way or the other [Music] the Dylan will say one more thing is Bokashi Monday night I had talked and I turned to service to David he had some more stuff he needed to do as a pastor and earlier in the first part of that service before I thought they were just going nuts and I really felt like I was supposed to teach that night so the signal is this if I say you may be seated I'm saying if you're done you can sit down but you don't have to if I say you may be seated in Jesus name that means I don't care what's going on take your seats well Monday night I turn this to David and I had some stuff to do to try to get out of town we were leaving right after church and so I left the auditorium my wife came home with this awesome story she said pastor was doing some things and they got to worshiping again and he said he wasn't thinking he just said you may be seated and Cal the former Muslim pipes up and everybody can hear you did you say in Jesus name the place went nuts I long for the day that it doesn't matter where you go in Pentecost people don't have to be prompted to worship it has to be told to sit down because it's time to do something else have you ever danced so long that you reach the place that even though you've been going wild you don't know how long what you've been going while you just enjoy Jesus that your heart was barely beating and you were barely breathing even though two people that didn't know better looked like you were jogging in place you ever danced at one twenty fourth of July I got a ride in the ambulance this past July I got a ride in an ambulance heavy pressure on the chest radiating pain numbness in the hand I'd had that the day before prayed it off of me and was going to go on about my business but Monday morning early I had it was back and I'd call the ambulance my wife had called the England went to the hospital in Annapolis they ran tests doctor said there's a helicopter on the way for you we're on ER we're flying you to the Washington Hospital Center we're going to do a angiogram you need to agree that whatever we find we

doing whatever well he's with us on Sunday morning I'm sitting there on the platform and you preach it and that old feeling came it wasn't an emotion it was something happened in the spirit and I was this close to take it off running and that same spirit for a few years now has been say now you're getting older you need to be careful you need to calm this stuff down sit and I'm sitting there well that night it was going nuts I came off the platform my wife's going like this and I'm getting ready I'm let's go a mess and I'm okay three three my Bible I fast a minister God uses me you had never convinced me I was bound never in a million years if you tur told me I was bound and I call you crazy talking doesn't every day I pray I'm used to God I'm going to be bound but I realized brother Morgan was ministering the people were really breaking loose I just can't move I can't get started I can't get started look she's over up side the platform well like this you got to know my wife to not misunderstand this he come like this I go I said what she said you need to do something I said what she said they nothing wrong with your heart and they had nothing wrong with you but fear and I

you should already been doing everybody else is doing it I said okay was I feeling some great emotion no I tell you what tell you what I did feel I knew at that point I was bound and there's good people in this room right now I won't admit it to yourself and avoiding ours but when you can't respond easily and quickly other than our little Pentecostal well you can't respond my God my God my God my God there's supposed to be a freedom there they're supposed to be alone upload upload upload you know what he said rivers because you can't turn on it off or really that's supposed to be a flow can we try it get notice down no hide huh could we just try it one more time if there's somebody here that you just heard a little voice that said dance and you said that can't be God listen listen cliff liquid beneath Elvis my mother was attending United Pentecostal church when I was born I've been Randy and I'm going to call the church on my I got a little bit of history and heritage that's sacred word for tradition of course people from 35 years ago in Pentecost that they were with us today they think we were all backlit and not because of standards either I got totally good I told he goes today's 12 course it took three years because that's what Pentecostals did it you know yeah I started nine took three years for the next ten years I didn't hardly do anything my dad was raised on a farm my mother was raised on a farm let me tell you something friend rights are self-sufficient independent prideful people is Saylor see you knew you were right all along and I looked at that even I'd been around all my life it was the taste distasteful to me is anything I think I want to hope that's come when they save and I dream hands occasionally I clap my hands and pus told to but I'm not moving anything else because that looks dumb and I'm not doing it well I could get out of Naval Academy and I go to Pensacola for flight training and that was a man of a starting whole missions work right out by the base and even though I was born a brother Welch's Church I ought to him I said you know I'd like to go out there to help really Thomas because there's some things I'd like to learn I'm gonna be in the ministry one day and I'd like to have some experience he said go right ahead spine brother right and so I went home er Thomas was about five eight weighed about 160 pounds and was before he was saved was the most feared bouncer in Pensacola in the bars he Katie he was feared had an eighth-grade education he was bad to the bone pikas safe he saved about five years or start Church he was the pastor I was an instant in the Navy and they don't make a whole lot of money but when I got there I was the biggest time period that's how blue-collar it was this guy was really smart he might not have had a college education but he was street smart I told him I was concrete went to come out work with whatever I could do to help you know what he did he put me up leading services I get this he's bunch of all these people were people he had dug out of the sand man they were these were no pedigree Pentecostals here you know they were just they bounced off the wall hey would ya every time you have service I'm here oh I want to see him look ah foggy and they're going nuts well my first reaction is these people crazy months or that I began to feel something brother Dylan I'm thinking myself I missing something here these people got something I don't have a little while longer I'm beginning to question if I got what I'm supposed to get it was my turn to lead service this particular night not back in the Sunday School room everybody else's I prayed I'm back in special room getting direction on what songs to sing and I've been nila I stood up raped my hands and this still little voice said to me there's no command there was no insistence it was just the slightest invitation let me tell you what happened my first thought was who me before I knew what was happening I was on my way back down I didn't feel anything going up I didn't feel anything coming down but when my feet touch the ground it felt like I was barefooted and it my feet had landed in a puddle with a short an electric cord running through it and I just started bouncing and bouncing nobody knows somebody's room by myself just bouncing and bouncing down and I was mad and glad same time I was so thrilled with what I was feeling and I was so mad I'd wasted over ten years ten years of having the Holy Ghost and it never felt anything like that well I heard the piano piano start playing and so I knew it was time to come out I stopped nobody knew because it's just too right it wasn't only the uniform that was starched right so I walked to the pulpit and and I began to leave the scene and they started going and all of a sudden the most feared word and up north I don't know what this means down here you do I heard this little voice right back here said something's one thing but just turn loose of all your limbs all at one time let them all go different directions that is the last thing on earth I thought I'd be a serial killer before I'd ever do that here's same old response who me the next thing I knew I didn't know my eyes are going all over the place and you know how you can be aware something not be aware way back here somewhere I'm aware of the place got quiet and it just dawned on me this is the greatest miracle they've ever seen about 10 to 15 seconds of quiet and the place went crazy and I learned something that worship is it act of faith faith comes by hearing hearing by the Word of God so worshiping the Lord not about a feeling it's about responding to the boss of the level fun this is fun its response its response there's three levels in what happens to people that are being ministered to the first is to hear the second is to respond and that's as far as most Pentecostals ever get the third is receive if you don't hear and then you don't respond you don't receive that's why so much good preaching produces so little result because it's in the responding the faith against a good mixed with a word so they can be some receiving people that will only hear and respond never get anything but people who will hear and then respond as they're responding the Holy Ghost will begin to mix faith without your side that word and then they will move into the realm of receiving there are some of you ho missionaries it's really gone for all but some at least when you leave this place you will not go home questioning if God's going to do it you're going to leave we're here with this much certainty if you've ever had in your life we're going to have a Bible we're going to have harness it may not happen the day I get home it may not happen the week I get home it may not happen the year this the next year but I know without a doubt it is going now without any music or what I one more time would you just raise your hands close your eyes and do what the spirits telling you to do well how well I know it's the spirit when you first book in tongues the first thing you thought it was you every person receives the Holy Ghost there's very first time they think it's bill they think they're just making it up but it really was the Holy Ghost it's exactly like that in demonstrative brain did you have Liberty where you respond without ever to think about it that's how it starts right is the first you think you're doing it [Applause] but it's not you come on come on just a little bit just a little bit as a couple of folks getting liberty there's a couple of folks getting free because freedom starts with obedience freedom starts with brains like a freak do a sparkle and says well freedom starts with pain and obedience that's where freedom starts this where it starts it's not a matter of feelings or circumstances is the matter of faith [Music] in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus come on come on come on I love music I love singing but there was no musical the day of Pentecost and they were drunk they refused to be a drunk come on come on the reason this is important is because it's not that many places that have great music you can have a great move of God without great music you can have a great move of God without oratorical free thing [Applause] in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus [Music] [Applause] lift your voice and let's magnify the Lord shall we race God praise God hallelujah amen let me just make just a couple of comments and just keep standing where you have let's go when the Queen of Sheba got to the land of Judah Bible says she noticed several things number one Solomon answered all of her questions she noticed the meat of his table the attendants of his ministers we're attendants there means their attitude they were joyful to be a part of his kingdom she noticed the cup bears in their apparel she noticed that these people dressed different and his all excited wonderful thing but it was not until he took his ascent up into the house of the Lord that the Bible says there was no more spirit in her if we're not careful we're going to just try to offer the Bible says he answered a question she's seen the houses that he had built and if we're not careful we're going to answer people's questions and show them our buildings they'll notice the meat of our tables what we have to offer them don't notice that we dress different if we're not careful that's where we'll stop and send them home and she could have left saying hey I've got a great thing going here we're brother Dillon it was not until he took his ascent up until the house of the Lord that's when she fainted see you read that you just pass over but all he was doing is keeping the order of his father David see David was just an old warrior he couldn't build a house because his allotment to the kingdom was to win enough victories to push the enemy far enough back that your son can build and so there it is now we live in a generation of Solomon's we really did we're building great buildings we're doing one of things but see before David died he called Solomon and some will give you a charge he not to deviate away from this charge number one you will enter his gates with Thanksgiving and his courts with praise number two all these instruments that I've built they're not for you to entertain on there for you to prophesy and then he said I'm going to give or even to the Levites and if you study that out when they got ready to enter the house of the Lord that you've read the verse that the psalmist said from the rising of the Sun to the going down of the same the name of the Lord is to be praised literally in the mornings at the time of the morning sacrifice and this is what the Queen of Sheba seen thousands of those Levites were together they would go through the gates of God with Thanksgiving they were in his courts with praise and at the time of the morning sacrifice all fifty seven thousand of them would worship and magnify God from the time of the morning sacrifice they were given to their allotment some were janitors some they cube bread some state in the house of God but from the time of the morning sacrifice to the time of the evening sacrifice there was at least seven thousand of them in the house of God doing nothing but worshiping God merciful God and then at the evening sacrifice had all come back together and then worship God together this was the ascent of Solomon into the house of the Lord not the Queen of Sheba seen we're not careful we Pentecostals are going to fall into trying to market this thing and make it center friendly I never knew the church was to be center friendly God friendly yes we're more worried about pleasing sinners than we are pleasing GAD our job is to take our setup yeah we're going to answer your questions because in him that's hid all wisdom and knowledge yes we're going to build and God's been good to us we got some great buildings yes we got me we got things we can offer we got all kinds of programs and yes we're glad to be in the house of the Lord we're glad to be a part we don't think that this is a penalty to serve God and yes we're glad we dress different than any other kingdom you've ever been in on but if we stop there we do it injustice to people nothing moves people like an old-fashioned Holy Ghost charge praise and worship nothing and if you try to build a church without it you're Robin Robin you're Robin nothing nothing all you use is intellect you reach there in a lot if it's just emotionalism all you reaches there emotionalism get the holy ghost boo if you want to move them it's gone move you first I you know it's just it's just on tape of the Prentiss oh no ok write these things down and somebody can give to you after church four things four things number one these are four points God gave me two weeks kill number one I want you to write down scold purpose I want to help somebody here right now everybody say purpose first thing God has to show use his purpose everybody said again purpose second thing God has to give you his wisdom this is an order this is an order of things everybody say wisdom what good is it to know what to do if you don't know how to do it wisdom God can show you his plan but the next thing is he has to give you wisdom on how to fulfill it wisdom to go out wisdom to come in most people stop right there and they get frustrated because the third step the third point is timing God can show you what to do God can show you how to do it but if you don't understand it there's a time for it to happen you will live a really frustrated life and the devil doesn't care if you're early doesn't care if you're late he just don't want you right on time and so if you get to it prematurely you're going to be frustrated don't matter how much faith you God don't matter how much purpose you got doesn't even matter how much wisdom you got if you get there premature you gonna be frustrated and if you get there late you're going to be frustrated the season's over and the fourth thing always immediately follows the third on the Lord yesterday I wrote down the word grace but probably a better word would be resources God tells you what to do shows you how to do it then he reveals he has to reveal it's time for you to do it and when the timing of God comes God always allocates his power to fulfill his purpose God's not going to give you the resources and if it's not the right time well some of you didn't like that you want God to stockpile it for you so you can have a sense of security that God doesn't operate that away matter of fact the book of Hebrews it says they waxed valiant in fight some of your waiting to get value to get the fight justice now you have to get the fight thing to get value well mmm boy amen the resources are not going to come until it's God's time brother when it's God's time it doesn't matter who's against it it doesn't matter what resistance there is when it's God's time look out hallelujah Amen everybody should have been now those are four points next thing is this this completely different subject few weeks ago Lord pressing at this River that verse where he says foxes have dens and the birds of the air have nests but the Son of man have nowhere to lay his head I've read that or read that and preached from a few weeks ago God gave him a little insight on that I hope this is a twist in the scripture but according to the scripture the head is always in reference to his government we've got a lot of churches that have not provided a place for God to rest his head in our churches there's no headship there's no government in it best advice I can give you home ition areas is you need to pray don't do it because you like this guy don't do it because you like it's preaching because if God doesn't appoint him to you it's not going to work but you need to start praying God I need fivefold ministry in my church I cannot fulfill all of these by myself if you think you can you're on a big ego trip it got quiet on that one I am self-sufficient no you're not I tell you hot dog you're not but she's not Amen now God called you there to pasture her times the Bible says that the pastures to do the work of an evangelist where the right talked about it last night there's a sinner that walks in it's time for you to put on the cloak of an evangelist go after them preach the Word of God believe God for them of the Holy Ghost I mean the way out the way I said if they're in our church service they are a target they are open pray they wouldn't be there some of you are so frustrated us you're trying to figure out this great evangelism program you'll be tell you how it's going to work you ready for this all things return to its source you believe that you go back to the dirt from what you come faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God they're not correct and the Bible says that God has put faith he's allocated faith the measure of faith to every man I don't mean Saints the Old Testament says it like this God is but God has put eternity in the hearts of men so in every human being that looks in the face of the earth there is an element of faith but then them and at some point in their life it wants to return to its source and it starts toward God that we call it conviction that's where the church needs to be strategically placed I believe if they're in my service that faith in them is trying to get back to its source and so I'm going to connect it back to its source I'm gonna take them to the Word of God we're getting frustrated how we gonna win the world God's got a better plan that any of us could ever come up with now if you want true evangelism its seeking God praying fast and be led of the Spirit to be strategically placed when God's dealing with somebody like that for you to be at the right place at the right time amen but they're coming they're coming so you need you need that you need to be able to do the work of evangelistic well I've never van July x'd we didn't say card-carrying advances I got surely you got something your Bible about you know acts 2:38 just get up preach on it a little bit and give an altar call we got Clyde in here all of a sudden people believe that around here well you know I didn't you be shocked what happens matter of fact law probably get it the song service if the Holy Ghost is moving now as a pastor you need to have the ability to teach that's probably been more the role the pastor than preaching is teaching instructing but if you if you don't fulfill that there are some wonderful teachers in our fellowship in fact this is not the only role but I believe it brother Wright is a biblical God called among many things teacher I also know that he has this big motorhome out here I also know that he's bishop that church that means he's got some weekends free also know that this message he preached here today needs to be preached across our fellowship Amen but I would bring the teacher in if I if I didn't feel like I could act with I'd bring a teacher in but especially these next two and this is where you PC folks get a little nervous yeah because I would find a prophet somewhere rather than working I'll quit quit acting like a Church of Christ my right god we got a church Christ Pierre trying to come in the UPC let's get rid of the music let's get rid of the praise let's get rid of the miracles let's get rid of Holy Ghost let's get rid of fivefold ministry I find somebody like I said not just because he prophesized something good and prophesied of Lincoln in your driveway just listen because if he's a true prophet but he's going to prophesy some things in your life that you don't want to hear and I advise every one of you to find somebody that can prophetically speaking your life he has to have somewhere to lay his head in your life and the next thing is I connect myself to an apostle now this is something we do not teach we don't want to hear it but I believe in every geographical area strategically placed our apostles and the best thing you could do is recognize that and quit being so full of pride but you can't submit to it god that went over like a flock of dogs see see you're not making a place for Leia's head there's no government and that's why you get your head feet in and you get frustrated and you reach a certain place and you ever get past it you have to make room you have to connect in the session the other night for the corn well said it like this follow a Reaper you need to find somebody that has spiritual authority that can come as an apostle and they have tremendous authority in the spirit does it make them greater than you as far as you know they don't need no it's all equality that there might be equality in the church there's nothing lacking and there's nothing void in the church now this is book of that it's kind of foreign to you PC structure but it's a book of Acts structure and we're having trouble because we're trying to get this apostolic revival but you've got to have some skin you got to have some government to put it in well after like the lone ranger in here right now and if you don't have those things there's nowhere for him to put his head it's government is not rest in the church and then we get one dimensional we get one vomit taste them I've had prophets come to my church I got one coming here in just a few weeks his name's Jerome boy and he sparked more faith and I want my people to have that I want them to taste down I've got apostles that cup I want them to come I got elders that come you know one of the won't have the budget you know what I'm just going to really go over real well I'd pray for a miracle I would ask God we should get ready to do this meeting here in San Francisco next few days I went down to rent the place because a little building where our church would hold it and they say we're Reverend it's $25 for the day $25 for the day and I was like I really feel to have it so I went to church that Sunday we said the church had some visitors there and I just got to church where I really feel like we can do this but I still you know it's twenty-five hundred bucks just to have the building and I said so let's pray I didn't want to buy the building I just wanted to use it for a few hours and so after church a visitor walked up never seen the man walked up said you really want to have that building I said yes sir he said don't say anything about it you know I am here take the check you'll get that building I open the check there it was I I'm telling you if you quit sitting around feeling sorry for yourself well I don't have the money take a little step of Fame I won't say if you don't learn take step faith you're not going anywhere you've got to get in the fight to get value and so I bring these many and I thought good just as soon as I could they're not finally God called evangelist and I believe that there's certain men that are appointed to your church but just as much as God called you to your church to Pastor it he has called certain men to your church to be a prophet to be an apostle to be whatever they hold that office in your church I preached in some places I couldn't wait to leave I mean I was on the phone saying you have an earlier flight out of here I got a distant relative about to die then I've been in other places that the moment I stepped in the pulpit there was a connection and there was a floater and I knew you're called here you are called to this place and and well I'm going to under you find those people pray and seek God to you find them and then once you connect with them God will provide the timing to be right for a about the timing to bring them in and when the timings right God will provide I don't know why I feel tell this wizard revival years ago this evangelist and I felt to have him and the only time I could get him was two weeks December no man we're so broke around here in December we can t pay attention and so I brought him in and on Saturday night there's a man visiting sitting back there a little healing guy and I got ready to take the offering and I was thinking man they're so broke I don't know and this guy after we took golfer he starts crying and he then he raises his hand when people start doing I get a little nervous I said sir can I help you he said preacher you believe God could speak to him in to get money he talking to the wrong one right there yes sir I do he said well I won't give something so here he can heal his billfold took out a wad of holler bills if I remember correct he laid down $1700 on that altar that night well I got happy paid the Atlantis prayer well he's happy it's December's Christmas time okay we're going on next week man I'm not I'm thinking well can you believe the next I'm not that guy showed back up I took the offering get ready move on the service he starts crying again it's a printer do you think God can speak two times I said yes sir I hope he does it about three or four more he said can I come on up and say come ona boy he come up he laid another several hollers on the altar went back to his pew whatever cried never got the Holy Ghost never spoken comes left after service when God's timings right automatic the heavens open go home and have revival praise God what a move of God what a move of
