CONTACT. >> WOW. WAS THAT NOT GREAT WORSHIP OR WHAT? IS IT LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME? [ APPLAUSE AND CHEERING ] >> YOU'RE SPOILED ROTTEN. YOU'RE A BUNCH OF SPOILED ROTTEN BRATS. MY GOODNESS. THAT WAS INCREDIBLE. PRESENCE OF GOD IS REAL IN THIS PLACE. I'M SO HONORED TO BE BACK. I BELIEVE GOD IS GOING TO SPEAK TO US TONIGHT. ARE YOU READY FOR HIM TO SPEAK TO YOU? YOU KNOW YOU ARE. I WANT TO GO IN THE OLD TESTAMENT TO THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL, CHAPTER 43. EZEKIEL CHAPTER 43. FOR JUST A FEW MOMENTS TONIGHT. I WANT TO DO A TEACHING. YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO WONDER WHERE AM I GOING FOR THE FIRST FEW MOMENTS, BUT LEAN IN AND JUST TRUST ME AND LET ME TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE AND IF YOU GET THE CONCEPT AND THE MESSAGE OF WHAT I FEEL I HAVE TO SHARE TONIGHT, YOU WON'T LEAVE LIKE YOU CAME. YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL HIS HEALTH LIKE YOU'VE NEVER FELT IT BEFORE. THAT'S THE POWER OF GOD'S WORD. HE CAN MAKE THINGS HAPPEN THAT HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IN OUR LIFE. I WANT YOU TO SEE IN SEEKIAL CHAPTER 44, VERSE 12, 1 VERSE OF SCRIPTURE, VERSE 12, THIS IS THE LAW OF THE TEMPLE. EVERYBODY SAY THE LAW OF THE TEMPLE. THE WHOLE AREA SURROUNDING THE MOUNTAINS MOST HOLY. BEHOLD, HERE IT IS AGAIN, NEVER DOES GOD REPEAT HIMSELF UNLESS GOD IS REALLY TRYING TO EMPHASIZE SOMETHING. MANY TIMES YOU'LL SEE JESUS SAY FAIRLY BARELY. SOMETIMES HE'LL CALL PEOPLE AND HE WOULD CALL THEIR NAMES, LIKE PAUL, PAUL. YOU KNOW, IT'S A DOUBLE ANNOUNCER. SOMETHING MAJOR IS TRYING TO BE EMPHASIZED ANY TIME YOU SEE THAT IN SCRIPTURE. THE LAW OF THE TEMPLE IS MENTIONED IN THE FIRST PART. BEHOLD, THE LAST PART OF THE VERSE, THIS IS THE LAW OF THE TEMPLE TWICE. QUICKLY VERSE 13, THIS IS THE FIRST PART. THESE ARE ARE THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE AUFOR IN CUBITS. FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT. I THINK THAT IT'S INTERESTING THAT THE CUBIT, IN THE BIBLE, WAS THE COMMON MEASUREMENT THAT THEY USED IN BIBLE DONATION. GOD GAVE IT IN CUBES. HE SAID THIS IS HOW HIGH, HOW WIDE, HOW LOUNGE LONG, AND HE GAVE THE MEASUREMENT IN CUBES. HE TALKED ABOUT NINE CUBES HIGH. IT WAS SIX HAPPENED BREDS EQUALS 1CUBI TY. >>, I WANT YOU TO DO THIS. THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX. AND UNLESS YOU HAVE A VERY WEIRD ARM, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE, IT WILL COME OUT TO SIX HAND BREDS 'A MAN. STAY WITH ME. IT'S PROSECUTE THE CREASE OF YOUR ELBOW TO THE TIP OF YOUR MIDDLE FINGER. THAT IS THE DISTANCE OF A CUBE. -- CUBE I.T. IN HEBREW TEACHING THEY TEACH THAT IT'S AMAA AH FROM THIS PART FROM THE ELBOW TO THE TIP OF THE FINGER IS THE MOTHER OF THE ARM. THE REASON THEY TEACH THAT, I DO A LOT OF WORK IN ISRAEL, GO TO ISRAEL TWO AND THREE TIMES A YEAR AND I HANG OUT AND HAVE SOME FRIENDS, AND ONE OF THEM PARTICULARLY SAID THE REASON THEY DO THAT IS THEY BELIEVE THAT IT'S THESE -- THIS PART, THE CUBIT OF A MAN'S BIRD IS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING A MAN CAN IMAGINE. 70 THIS IS THE MOTHER OF THE ARM, THE PART THAT GIVES BIRTH, THIS PART IS THE FATHER OF THE ARM. COME ON, NOW. SAY AMEN, MEN. THE CUBE OF A MAN GETS AN IDEA AND HE CAN DREAM AND IMAGINE AND THE CUBIT OF A MAN'S HANDS GOES TO WORK MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING. THEY BUILT AMAZING HOMES IN THE BIBLE. MAGNIFICENT TEMPLE MEASURING THE CUBIT, WHICH IS SIX HAND BREADTHS OF A MAN. WE CAN DO AMAZING THINGS WITH THE CUBIT OF A MAN'S HAND. WE CAN BUILD, CARVE. THESE ARMS, THESE HANDS CAN ACCOMPLISH AMAZING THINGS. MIGHTILY GIFTED AND TALENTED. IT TOOK 1000 YEARS FROM THE TIME OF JESUS TO DA VIN'S TIME FOR KNOWLEDGE TO DOUBLE. IT DOUBLED EVERY 1000 YEARS FROM HIS TIME, IT TOOK THAT LONG FOR KNOWLEDGE TO DOUBLE. KNOWLEDGE WAS DOUBLED EVERY TWO YEARS. IN THE 1990s, EVERY 18 MONTHS, THE WORLD KNEW TWICE AS MUCH AS IT KNEW BEFORE THE 18 MONTHS. IN THE 2000s, KNOWLEDGE IS DOUBLED EVERY SIX MONTHS. THE LATEST STATISTIC, EVERY THREE MONTHS, THE WORLD KNOWS TWICE AS MUCH AS IT KNEW THREE MONTHS AGO. THAT PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR POCKET, THAT CELL PHONE, HAS MORE TECHNOLOGY IN IT THAN IT TOOK TO SEND POLO 11 TO THE MOON. THAT'S A FACT. KNOWLEDGE IS DOUBLING. FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY, THIS WHOLE WORLD IS A TRIBUTE TO THE CUBIT OF A MAN'S HAND. THE GIFTNESS OF MAN. THE INDEPENDENT ELECTRIC OF MAN. THE TALENT OF MAN. THE GENIUS OF MAN. WITH MAN'S ABILITY TO DREAM, AND THEN THE HANDS GO TO CREATING. THINK OF SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE ABLE TO DO, TO ENGINEER AND BUILD, TO UNRAVEL THE MYSTERIES OF DNA. IT'S AMAZING TO SPLIT THE AT TOMORROW, TO BUILD A ROCKET THAT WOULD CARRY PEOPLE INTO SPACE AND LIVE UP THERE. TO SEPARATE ON BRAINS AND DO ROBOTIC SURGERY ON THE EYE. SOMEBODY DREAMED IT. SOMEBODY THOUGHT IT. AND THEN THE SIX HAND BREADTHS OF A MAN'S BUILT BEGIN TO FORM THOSE MACHINES AND THOSE ROCKETS AND THOSE INCREDIBLEIN VENDIONS. ROBOTIC SURGERY. AIRLINES. SPACE SHUTTLES. MAN CREATES WITH SKILLFUL HANDS. COMPUTERS, GPS SATELLITE. SOMEBODY DREAMED THAT UP. AND NOW WE CAN'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT IT. SIRI. ALEXA. SOMEBODY SAID PUT A WOMAN IN A PHONE AND ASK HER ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ASK HER AND SHE'LL TELL YOU THE RIGHT ANSWER. SOMEBODY'S FORMS WENT TO FORMING AND FASHIONING AND CREATING AND SUDDENLY THEY DID IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. I'M SURE YOU'RE MUCH SMARTER THAN I, BUT IT'S REALLY AMAZING. THE GENIUS OF MAN. SOMEBODY GETS AN IDEA IN THEIR MIND, THEN THE CUBITS BEGIN TO WORK, MOLD, SHAPE, CREATE, GIVE BIRTH. HAVING WE HAVE, THIS MICROPHONE, THIS BUILDING, THE SHOES YOU HAVE ON, THE CLOTHES THAT YOU HAVE ON, THE WATCH THAT YOU'RE WEARING, EVERYTHING HERE HAS THE THING -- HAS THE FINGER PRINTS OF MAN ON IT, ALL GIVEN BIRTHS BY SIX HAND BREADTHS THAT EQUALS WHAT? ONE CUBE. .-POINT IS THIS. WE'RE GIFTED SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN. IT'S AN AMAZING THING. THE BRIDGES, THE BEAUTIFUL CITIES. LOS ANGELES. THE BE SKYSCAPERS, THE BEAUTY, ALL OF IT BUILT WITH THE HAND OF PLAN. SOMETIMES THIS GIFTEDNESS AND GENIUS CAN ROB US OF OUR NEED FOR GOD. WE THINK WE CAN DO IT WITHOUT HIM. WE THINK ALL WE NEED IS THE SIX HAND BREADTHS OF A MAN OF. JOHN SAID WITHOUT ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING. PREACHER, YOU SAID WE CAN DO AMAZING THINGS. YOU HAVEN'T MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT GOD IN YOUR OPENING OF THE MESSAGE. >> LEFT2: ESES SAID WITHOUT ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING. WHAT DID HE MEAN? YOU CAN DO NOTHING SPIRITUALLY GOOD, MORALLY GOOD WITHOUT ME. WITHOUT ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING. MANKIND IS NOT CAPABLE OF DOING SPIRITUAL THINGS AND MORAL THINGS AND ETERNAL THINGS WITH JUST THE SIX HAND BREADTHS OF A CUBE. SEVEN REPRESENTS GOD'S NUMBER, BUT SIX THE NUMBER OF MAN. SIX IN THE BIBLE REPRESENTS HUMAN EFFORT, HUMAN INGENUITY, HUMAN STRENGTH, HUMAN GENIUS. WHAT IS SO INTERESTING ABOUT THE TEXT I READ IS GOD SHOWED EZEKIEL A TRYING REBUILD THE TEMPLE. AND EVERYTHING IN THE BIBLE UP TO THIS POINTED HAD BEENABILITY BY THE MEASUREMENTS OF A CUBIT. NOWHERE IN YOUR BIBLE WHERE YOU READ, WHERE GOD GOD EVER EXTENDING THE CUBIT BEYOND SIX HAND PREDATORS. HE SAID WITH VERY SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS THIS IS THE LAW OF MY TEMPLE. HE SAID IT AGAIN IN CASE YOU DIDN'T GET IT THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS THE LAW OF MY TEMPLE. SIX HAND BREADTHS CAN GET IT DONE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD ME A TEMPLE, SOMETHING SPIRITUAL, SOMETHING THAT I WILL GET GLORY OUT OF, HE SAID YOU ARE TO BUILD IT WITH THE CUBE AND ADD ONE OF HAND BREADTH. YOU ARE TO BUILD WITH THE CUBIT AND THEN AFTER YOU GOT SIX HAND BREADTHS ADD ONE MORE TO IT TO MAKE IT THE SEVENTH HAND. THIS IS THE LAW OF MY HOUSE. WHAT HE WAS SAYING IS THE LAW OF MY HOUSE IS THERE ARE MEASUREMENTS OF A CUBIT AND SIX HAND BREADTHS, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD ME A SEMI PELL, A HOME, A LIFE, DO WHAT I REALLY WANT YOU TO DO, YOUR TALENT, YOUR GENIUS, YOUR GIFTNESS, WILL NOT BE ENOUGH, IT'S GOING TO TAKE THE SEVENTH HAND. AND SEVENTH HAND IS GOD'S HAND COMING UPON YOUR HAND. I'LL PUT MY HAND WITH YOUR EFFORT. I'LL PUT MY HAND WITH YOUR HANDS. YOU CAN PUT A SHORT TERM ON THE MOON. YOU CAN BUILD BRIDGES. BUILD AMAZING THINGS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. WHEN IT COMES TO ETERNAL, SPIRITUAL THINGS, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO SOME THINGS, IT'S GOING THE REQUIRE AN EXTRA HAPPENED AND IT'S NOT THE HAND OF MAN'S GIFTEDNESS AND TALENT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO WHERE GOD WANTS YOU TO GO AND DO WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO, IT WILL TAKE EDUCATION AND ABILITY, WHEN YOU HAVE DONE ALL YOU CAN DO, THEN COMES THE SEVENTH HAPPENED. YOU NEED SIX HAND BREADTHS, PLUS THE SEVENTH HAND BREADTH. THIS IS THE LAW OF THE TEMPLE AND I'LL PUT THE LAW OF THE TEMPLE. YOU CAN BUILD EVERYTHING ELSE WITH MY SIX, BUT MY HAND HAS TO COME ON YOU TO DO SOME THINGS. THE SEVENTH HAND WILL BLESS EVERYTHING YOU SET YOUR HAND TO DO. THERE IS A NEED FOR AN EXTRA HAND. WHEN YOU ARE TO DO EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO, GO TO COUNSELING, GO TO HEALTH, DO EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO DO, WHEN YOU HAVE DONE IT DON'T GIVE UP BECAUSE THEN COMES THE SEVENTH HAND AND HE CAN DO WHAT YOU CANNOT DO. YOU'RE GOING TO NEED AN EXTRA HAND TO BUILD MY HOUSE, EZEKIEL. SOMETHING BEYOND JUST DOING IT IN THE NATURAL. JUST DOING IT IN THE ROUTINE AND IN THE COMMON ABILITY THAT YOU HAVE. BUT WHAT GOD WAS SAYING IS I WANT PEOPLE TO RELY ON MY HAND COMING UPON THE WORK OF THEIR HANDS. YOU'RE DOING EVERYTHING THAT YOU KNOW TO DO WHILE YOU'RE HERE AT LIBERTY, BUT I REALLY BELIEVE THAT ONE THING YOU CAN'T MESS WHILE YOU'RE HERE IS JUST RAW TALENT AND GIFTING ENOUGH. IT'S NOT ENOUGH ALONE TO GET YOU WHERE GOD WANTS TO TAKE YOU. WHAT HE WANTS TO DO IN YOUR LIFE IS SO BIG, SO EXTRAORDINARY, SO GOD SIZE THAT THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU CAN GET YOURSELF THERE WITH RAW TALENT AND GIFTING. WHEN THE SEVENTH HAND COMES UPON YOU DOORS OPEN BEFORE FAVOR COMES. IT'S NOT BY MIGHT, POWER. IT'S BY MY SPIRIT. YOUR GENIUS IS NOT ENOUGH. YOUR TALENTED IS NOT ENOUGH. IF YOU'RE GOING TO RAISE KIDS IN THE 20th CRIRY, 21st CENTURY, YOU BETTER HAVE THE SEVENTH HAND THAT COMES ON YOUR PARENTING. IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET MARRIED IT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN LOVIE DUFFY TO STAY SOMETHING IN THIS AGE. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THE SEVENTH HAND ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP. DR. FALWELL HAD THE SEVENTH HAND. I RAN UP THE STEPS, I'M IN GOOD SHAPE, I'M THE RUNNER, I RAN UP THE STEPS, ALL OF THEM. I MUST ADMIT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK ON THE 11th, BUT I LOOKED IN EVERY DIRECTION AND SAW THESE BUILDINGS AND DORMS AND THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS AND WALKED FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER AND I THOUGHT OH MY GOD, IT'S SO OBVIOUS HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD DO, BUT SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL CAME. THE SEVENTH HAND CAME TO HIS DOME. TODAY WE ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF THIS. GOD DOESN'T JUST WANT YOU TO GET EDUCATION WHILE YOU'RE HERE. ALL THAT YOU CAN GET. CERTAINLY YOU NEED EVERYTHING YOU'RE GETTING. BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THE SEVENTH HAND ON YOUR LIFE. BECAUSE THAT HAND WILL OPEN DOORS, GO TO PLACES YOU NEVER DREAMED YOU WOULD GO. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SING LIKE A BIRD. BUT IF GOD DOESN'T PUT HIS HAND ON YOUR SINGING IT'S JUST SINGING. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PLAY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENT BETWEEN PLAYING INSTRUMENTS AND WHAT WE EXPERIENCED. THERE IS A SEVENTH HAND THERE. THE WALLS COME DOWN. THEY BEGIN TO FEEL SOMETHING. THEY GET EMOTIONAL. MUSIC CAN CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIVES. IT'S THE SEVENTH HAND. PRACTICE, REHEARSAL, YOU GOT TO PRACTICE AND -- ONE NIGHT, THE SOUND CHECK, MAKE SURE THIS, MAKE SURE THAT, GO OR THE PROGRAM, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. WHEN YOU HAVE DONE ALL YOU CAN DO, DON'T THINK WE'VE DONE IT AL, DEPEND AND BELIEVE FOR THE SEVENTH HAND. AM I MAKING SENSE? GIVE ME A BIG AMEN. >> AMEN. >> WHEN I PUT MY HAND ON YOU, THIS IS THE LAW OF MY HOUSE. YOU'LL NEVER BE AS EFFECTIVE AS YOU COULD BE UNTIL THE SEVENTH HAND COMES ON YOU. I THOUGHT ABOUT THE ANTI-CHRIST IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. DO YOU KNOW WHAT HIS NUMBER IS? HE TRI-STATE TO BE GOD. YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAID HIS NUMBER IS? I'M GOING TO BE GOD, I'M GOING TO BE GOD. HE GOES BACK DOWN. SIX. SIX. SIX. HE CAN'T GET TO SEVEN. IT TAKES THE SEVENTH HAND TO BE LIKE GOD. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A BETTER POINT THAN YOU LET ON RIGHT THERE. [ LAUGHTER ] ELIJAH KNOWS THAT THE FAMINE NEEDS TO BE BROKEN. THEY'VE NOT SEEN RAIN IN 3-1/2 YEARS. >> FIRST KINGS HE GOES TO MOUNT CARMEL AND HE BEGINS TO PRAY AND HE HAS A SERVANT AND HE SAID RUN OUT ON THE SCHIFF AND LOOK OUT OVER THE OCEAN AND TELL ME IF YOU SEE A STORM COMING BECAUSE I'M PRAYING. I LIKE THIS. IF YOU'RE PRAYING FOR SOMETHING YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. GO LOOK. THE BIBLE SAID THE SERVANT RAN TO THE CLIFF AND HE LOOKED OUT AND CAME BACK AND THE PROPHET SAID WHAT DID YOU SEE? HE SAID NOTHING. HE SAID GO AGAIN. HE RUNS AND LOOKS AND NOTHING. GO AGAIN. ONE TIME, TWO TIMES, 33 TIMES, FOUR TIMES, FIVE TIMES, SIX TIMES. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LIVE THROUGH THE NOTHINGS OF GOD. SOMETIMES YOU KEEP WAITING FOR THE ANSWER AND ALL YOU GET IS NOTHING. THE SIXTH TIME HE SEES NOTHING AND I'M SURE HE'S THINKING I HOPE YOU'RE NOT -- IT'S OBVIOUS YOUR PRAYER IS GETTING THROUGH. AFTER SIX, HE SAID NOTHING. HE SAID GO AGAIN. WHEN HE GOES OUT HE LOOKS AND HE SEES A CLOUD. THE SHAPE OF A MAN'S HAND. WHAT WAS THAT? IT WAS THE SEVENTH HAND. AND THE SEVENTH HAND HAS THE RAIN. AND THE SEVENTH HAND HAS THE PROVISION. AND THE SETTLEMENT HAND CAN STOP THE FAMINE. THE SEVENTH HAND REQUEST CAUSING REVIVAL AND FRUIT FULLNESS TO DRY, BARREN LAND. THE SEVENTH HAND REPRESENTS THE HAND OF GOD. THE BIBLE SAID IT WAS A CLOUD IS THE SIZE OF A MAN'S HAND. HOLD YOUR HAND UP A SECOND. THAT DOESN'T LOOKS LIKE MUCH. WITH GOD A LITTLE IS MUCH WHEN GOD IS IN IT, BUT IT MAY BE LITTLE, BUT IT'S LOADED. WHEN HE LOOKS AND SEES THE SEVENTH HAND COMING, IT'S A FUNNY STORY, LIKE GENTLEMAN SAYS MY GOD, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. IT'S A LITTLE CLOUD. WE HAVEN'T HAD RAIN 3-1/2 YEARS. IT'S JUST A CLOUD THE SHAPE OF A MAN'S HAND. HE SAID IT'S COMING YOUR WAY. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. THE BIBLE SAYS HE RAN THE HORSES OF AHAB TRYING TO GET OFF THE MOUNTAIN BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE SEVENTH HAND IS GOING TO BRING THE RAIN, THAT'S GOING TO BREAK THE FAMINE. I DON'T KNOW WHO I'M PREACHING TO TONIGHT, BUT I FELT LIKEN ENCOURAGING AND TELLING YOU WHEN YOU FELT ALL YOU CAN DO, THE SEVENTH HAND WILL COME TO YOUR RESCUE. THAT HAND REPRESENTS THE 5-4 MINISTRY. THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY SOMEONE SAID, THE APOSTLE TOUCHES THE MINISTRIES OF ALL OF THE CHURCH. THE PROPHET POINTING THE WAY. THERE IS THE MIDDLE FINGER, WHICH IS THE EVANGELIST. WE NEED ADVANTAGE LISTS BECAUSE THEY TELL PEOPLE TURN OR BURN. HE'S MARRIED TO THE CHURCH. HE CAN'T GET RID OF THE CALL TO THE LOCAL CHURCH. THEN THERE'S THE TEACHER. SMALL ENOUGH TO GET IN YOUR EAR. GOD SAYS I'M GOING TO SEND MY HAND ON THE EARTH. USE THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY AND BRING RAIN TO THE EARTH. THE SEVENTH MAN IS COMING TO HELL. THE SEVENTH HAND BRINGS THE RAIN. THE WORK HAS GOD TO BE DONE. YOU DO WHAT YOU CAN DO AND GOD WILL DO WHAT YOU CAN'T DO. ONE OF MY FAVORITE STORIES IS THE BOOK OF ACTS CHAPTER 12. AN ANGEL WAS DISPATCHED TO BREAK HEM OUT OF HEAVEN. THE DOORS OPENED OF THEIR OWN ACCORD. LIKE AT THE SUPERMARKET. THE BIBLE SAID THE DOORS ARE OPENING AND THE GUARDS TELLING OVER AND THEY'RE KNOCKED OUT AND THE ANGEL WALKS IN AND THEN THE CHAINS FELL OFF SUPER NATURALLY THE BIBLE SAID, BUT THEN THE ANGEL SAID SOMETHING STRANGE. HE SAYS, PUT YOUR SHOES ON. I WOULD THINK WITH ALL THAT SUPERNATURAL STUFF ON, THAT A CLOUD WOULD JUST PICK UP HIS SHOES AND FLOAT THEM OVER AND SLIDE THEM ON TO HIS FEET. BUT IT'S THE STRANGEST THING. IN THE MIDDLE OF DOORS OPENING ALL BY THEMSELF, CHAINS FALLING OFF, GUARDS FALLING OUT, GOD GIVES THE COMMAND TO THE ANGEL, PUT YOUR SHOES ON. YOU DO WHAT YOU CAN DO AND I'LL DO WHAT YOU CAN'T DO. WHEN I THINK ABOUT THAT, I THINK ABOUT PEOPLE WITH ADDICTIONS, PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP, AND SOME OF YOU HERE TONIGHT HERE STRUGGLING ARE SITUATIONS IN YOUR LIFE, YOU DO AND GIVE YOURSELF AND DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO AND WHEN YOU'VE DONE WHAT YOU CAN DO, THE SEVENTH HAND COMES. WHAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT MINISTRY IS THIS. I DON'T GET UP HERE AND DARE TO PREACH AND NOT AGAIN, AND NOT LEAN ON THAT SEVENTH HAND. I BELIEVE WITH ALL OF MY HEART TONIGHT, THE SIMPLE LITTLE MESSAGE TO TELL YOU THAT FROM THAT NIGHT FORWARD, FULL INVITE HIM, HE'S GOING TO PUT HIS HAND ON YOUR LIFE. WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS PLACE TONIGHT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE DEPENDING ON YOUR OWN ABILITY AND INGENUITY AND TALENT AND GIFTEDNESS. BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE THIS ELEMENT TO YOUR LIFE. IT'S CALLED THE SEVENTH HAND. WHEN THAT HAND COMES ON YOU, WHEN THAT BLESSES YOU, WHEN THAT HAPPENED TOUCHES YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL SEE GOD DO THINGS THAT YOU COULD NOT MAKE HAPPEN. IF YOU'RE AN ATHLETE, THE SEVENTH HAND CAN COME ON ALL YOUR WORKOUTS AND ALL YOUR RUNNING AND ALL OF THAT. ARE THE A YOUNG MAN STARTED COMING TO OUR CHURCH WHEN HE WAS THIS SMALL. I WATCHED HIM ALTHOUGH HIGH SCHOOL. HE HE'D TEXT ME BEFORE GAMES AND I'D PRAY WITH HIM AND SEND HIM MESSAGES. HE'S THE QUARTERBACK FOR THE HOUSTON OILERS. IS THAT WHO IT IS? IT OUGHT TO BE. THE TEXANS. I'M THINKING BASEBALL. TEXANS. BUT I'VE WATCHED THAT YOUNG MAN, AND I WATCHED HIM IN TIMES WHEN THE SON OF GOD WENT LOOSE IN OUR CHURCH. HE HAD ALL KINDS OF SALT. -- BE HE SAID PASTOR PRAY FOR ME. HE WAS BROKEN BEFORE GOD. WE LAID HANDS ON HIM AND PRAYED FOR HIM. THAT NIGHT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO JOHN. AND THE POWER OF GOD CAME ON HIS LIFE. YOU HAVE SONGS THE WORLD WANTS TO HEAR. BOOKS YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WRITE. START BUSINESSES. FAMOUS ATTORNEYS AND LAWYERS THAT BRING JUSTICE TO BAD SITUATIONS. BUT GOD WANTS YOU TO BEGIN TO INVITE THE SEVENTH HAND. WE KNOW YOU'VE GOT SOME TALENT. SOME GIFTEDNESS. BUT WITHOUT HIM WE CAN DO NOTHING. I AM THE VINE, YOU ARE THE BRANCHES. [ APPLAUSE ] WHEN THAT DESPERATENESS GRIPS YOUR HEART, I WANT THE SEVENTH HAND ON MY LIFE. WHEN I START TO DO SOMETHING, THE SEVENTH HAND WILL MESS YOU UP. WHEN IT'S ON YOUR LIFE AND YOU START TO GO TO A PARTY AND GO WITH SOMEBODY YOU SHOULDN'T GO, THAT SEVENTH HAND INVISIBLE WILL BEGIN TO MESS YOU UP. BEGIN TO STRAIN YOU, PULL YOU BACK, LEAD YOU, GUIDE YOU. FIND YOURSELVES IN SITUATIONS YOU WOULD NEVER BE, BECAUSE YOU RECOGNIZE THERE'S THE TOUCH OF GOD ON MY LIFE. HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD LOVE -- LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY. I CLOSE WITH THIS VERSE. HE SAID IN DEUTERONOMY, I WILL BLESS THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS. I KNOW YOU'VE GOT SIX CUBITS. YOU'RE DOING GOOD, KEEP PLAYING. HE'S WAITING ON THE SEVENTH HAND. I REFUSE TO PREACH UNTIL HE PRAYS. THERE YOU GO. [ LAUGHTER ] >> HOW MANY OF YOU COULD USE AN EXTRA HAND WITH YOUR EDUCATION? HOW MANY OF YOU COULD USE AN EXTRA HAND THAT GOD WOULD PUT FAVOR ON YOUR DOORS THAT NO MAN WITH HELP. WHEN YOU HAVE DONE ALL YOU KNOW YOU COULD DO YOU COULD BE ASTONISHED IN WONDER, HOW THE THAT HAPPEN TO ME, HOW DID -- IT'S THE SEVENTH HAND.CE? I'M PRAYING FOR THAT. THIS IS NOT ANOTHER WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO LEAVE HERE WITH THE HAND OF GOD OH LORD, THAT YOU WOULD BLESS ME INDEED. I DON'T WANT TO JUST BE NORMAL, ORDINARY. I WANT YOU TO BLESS ME INDEED IN THE SOUP LaIVE. THE BIBLE SAID THAT GOD GRANTED HIM HIS REQUEST AND THEN HE SAID ENLARGE MY TERRITORY. HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE GOD'S SEVENTH HAND TO ENLARGE YOUR WORLD, GIVE YOU GREATER INFLUENCE FOR HIS GLORY. BE FROM AND THAT YOUR HAND WOULD BE UPON ME. ISN'T THAT AMAZING? WHEN THE SEVENTH HAND COMES ON YOU, IT'S THE TENDER TOUCH OF GOD AND THINGS CAN HAPPEN. JUST LIKE WHEN I PREACHED THIS MORNING, YOU CAN SEE THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T SEE. YOU CAN HEAR THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T HEAR AND YOU CAN BELIEVE THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T BELIEVE AND THE SEVENTH HAND WILL BRING IT TO PASS. CAN WE TAKE A MOMENT AND JUST LIFT OUR HANDS IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING IT, WOULD YOU REACH YOUR HAND UP REPRESENTING ALL YOU'RE CAPABLE OF DOING, SAY GOD HERE IS ME HAND BREADTH, MY CUBIT. I NEED THAT EXTRA HAND BRENT. I WANT THE SEVENTH HAND ON MY HOUSE, MY LIFE, MY TIME HERE AT LIBERTY, ON MY CAREER, ON MY MINUTES INDUSTRY AND ON MY CALLING SO JUST LIFT THEM HIGH ALL OVER THIS ROOM. FATHER, WE JUST PRAISE YOU RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE NOT IN THIS ALONE, THAT IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT US TRYING HARDER. THE SEPTEMBERS HAND BRINGS THE RAIN AND THE DROUGHT IS OVER AND I'M GOING TO BLESS YOU. FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR THE SEVENTH HAND COMING TO OUR RESCUE. THERE'S HEALING IN THAT HAND, HELP IN THAT HAPPENED, NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPPING IN THAT HAND. I PRAY FOR THE SEVENTH HAND TO COME ON YOUR PEOPLE TONIGHT. WOULD YOU JUST LAY YOUR HAND ON THEIR LIVES? EVERYBODY LOOK AT YOUR HAND JUST ONE MOMENT. JESUS SAID IN MY GAME YOU'LL LAY HAND ON PEOPLE AND BLESS THEM. SO WOULD YOU REACH OVER AND WOULD YOU TOUCH SOMEBODY ON THE SHOULDER AND WOULD YOU DARE TO BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN USE YOUR HAND AS THE SEVENTH HAND IN YOUR LIFE, AND WHATEVER IS GOING ON IN THEIR LIFE WOULD YOU ASK GOD TO SEND THE POWER OF THE SEVENTH HAND, IF THERE'S A NEED RIGHT NOW JUST LET GOD TOUCH YOU, STRENGTHEN YOU. THE SEVENTH HAND IS GOING TO MAKE A WAY, IS GOING TO BE ON YOUR LIFE. DON'T THINK IT'S ALL UP TO YOU. WE SERVE A SUPERNATURAL GOD. WHEN HIS HAND COMES ON YOUR LIFE YOU'RE UNSTOPPABLE. LET'S JUST RAISE OUR HAND ONE MORE TIME TOWARD HEAVEN. TURN THE VOLUME UP ON YOUR VOICE BOX AND OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND CRY OUT TO GOD FOR JUST A MOMENT. ENTER YOU TO THANK HIM. THAT'S IT. COME ON. COME ON. COME ON. COME ON. DO YOU NEED A SEVENTH HAND? DO YOU NEED AN EXTRA HAND? DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE AT YOUR WITNESS'S END AND YOU'VE GONE AS FAR AS YOU GO? THERE'S 7th HAPPENED HELP HERE TONIGHT. OH HALLELUIAH. EDNESS YOU REACH SOME SITUATIONS. SOMETIMES IT'S THROUGH THE BREAKING THAT WE GET DESPERATE. WE SAY I NEED SOME HELP. THAT'S WHEN GOD COMES. IF YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM TONIGHT AND YOU SAY I'M NOT RIGHT WITH GOD, I NEED A CHANGE IN MY LIFE, I CAN'T FIX ME, I TRIED TO DO THIS, I TRIED TO STOP, TRIED TO CHANGE. I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO TRY HARDER. ALL GOD EVER REALLY WANTED FROM US IS HONESTY. HONESTY. HELP. AND HE COMES. SO IF YOU'RE HERE AND YOU SAY PASTOR I KNOW I'M NOT WHERE I NEED TO BE, AND I WANT TO REALLY, REALLY EXPERIENCE GOD'S HAND ON MY LIFE LIKE NEVER BEFORE, IF THAT'S YOU I WANT YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND HIGH RIGHT WHERE YOU STAND AND I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU. I KNOW OUR LEBANON LIBERTY SHEPHERDS WILL FOCUS ON YOU IN THEIR AREA. GOD IS GOING TO HELP YOU. GOD BROUGHT YOU HERE TONIGHT. WITH THOSE HANDS RAISED. PUT YOUR HAND ON THEIR SHOULDER ONE MORE TIME. I ASK YOU IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS NOW TO RESTORE, TO RENEW, TO REVIVE EVERY PERSON WHOSE HAND IS STRETCHED OUT TO YOU RIGHT NOW. EVERYBODY PRAY THIS PRAYER. LORD JESUS, I GAVE YOU MY LIFE. I VEND COMPLETELY TO YOU. THERE ARE THINGS I CAN'T FIX, BUT I RECEIVE THE HIP OF THAT MALE SCARED HAND. IT'S THE SEVENTH HAND. I CAN'T SAVE MYSELF. I NEED THE SEVENTH HAND. I RECEIVE WHAT ONLY HE CAN DO. SAY THIS. JESUS SAVE ME. BE FORGIVE ME. AND LET YOUR HAND BE ON MY LIFE. LET'S JUST GIVE GOD PRAISE IN THIS PLACE. CAN WE SING THAT SONG ONE MORE TIME? LIFT JESUS UP. TAKE A MOMENT AND WORSHIP HIM. >> THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY LIFE, SOMEBODY IN YOUR OWN FAMILY, FRIENDSHIP, RELATIONSHIP, THAT THEY'RE AT THE TIP OF THEIR FINGER, THEY'VE DONE ALL THEY COULD DO, MAYBE IT'S YOU, YOU'VE DONE ALL THAT YOU CAN DO, AND YOU'D JUST LIKE TO USE THIS MESSAGE AND A SPRINGS BOARD TO SAY I AM GOING TO PUT THAT IN GOD'S HAND. I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY. YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT WEAK IF YOU WORRY. YOU'RE HUMAN. BUT I FOUND THAT THAT WHEN I'VE DONE ALL THAT I CAN DO, THAT IS WHEN THAT SEPTEMBER HAND WILL COME EVERY TIME. I'M JUST GOING TO ALLOW GOD FOR ONE MORE MOMENT. HIM THEM TO SING THAT LAST VERSE IN FORCE ONE MORE TIME. THEY TOLD ME I COULD DO THIS, SO I'M GOING TO DO IT. I DON'T WANT TO ASK FOR ALL THINGS TONIGHT, BUT I WANT YOU TO BELIEVE FOR GOD'S HAND TO COME ON YOUR LIFE AND ON YOUR HOUSE AND ON YOUR FAMILY LIKE NEVER BEFORE. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE GOT FAMILY THAT YOU WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE HAND OF GOD TO COME ON YOUR LIFE. DAD, MOM, BROTHER, SISTER. RAISE THE OTHER HAND ON BEHALF OF THAT NEED AND LET THIS SING OVER YOU. HE SAID I'LL SING OVER YOU WITH JOY. AGO THEY SING THIS HAND LET THE HAND OF GOD COME ON YOU AND COME ON YOUR HOUSE. GOD SAYS TONIGHT I WANT TO PUT MY HAND ON YOUR HOUSE, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR LIFE IN AN INCREDIBLE WAY. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU, MAY THE LORD MAKE HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU, MAY THE LORD, BE GRACIOUS UPON YOU, LIFT UP HIS COUNT, IN ESSENCE, UPON YOU, AND THAT HE GIVE YOU PEACE IN JESUS' NAME. LET'S GO ON WORSHIPING TONIGHT. >> CAN WE THANK PASTOR JENTEZEN? WE'RE GOING TO BE DISMISSED HERE IN A SECOND, BUT IF YOU WANT TO SAY HE'S GOING TO BE LEAVING SOON, COME AND TELL HIM HOW THANKFUL YOU ARE. GOD, WE ARE JUST GRATEFUL. FOR WHO YOU ARE, FOR WHO YOU SAID YOU'D BE, FOR AND EVER. GOD, THAT YOU HAVE CALLED US OUT OF THE PIT, THAT YOU HOLD US IN YOUR HANDS, THAT YOU'RE DOING A WORK, THAT YOU'RE MAKING THINGS NEW. AS WE GO OFF INTO COMMUNITY GROUPS AND OUR FRIENDSHIPS THAT WE KNOW THAT YOU WERE AT THE CENTER. THAT YOU WOULD LEAVE -- WE LOVE YOU, WE THANK YOU, WE PRAY THAT YOU BLESS THIS NIGHT AND BLESS THIS WEEK AND THIS BROTHER. AMEN. YOU'RE MISSED.
