have the book i've had the book for a long time and lately i feel like i need to pray differently and i'm hoping that with this help i'll be able to do that both my husband and i are here and we got received the baptism of the spirit last night and we went to the special room and i mean it was just wonderful this is our first conference but we actually met andrew womack back in the 70s he came to lima ohio and we actually helped him with his book table and i think he and jamie and the two boys at that time came to our house for a meal so we listened to him every day but this is the first time we've actually been in a conference oh we listen to him every day in fact we just bought the book of romans because he's going what we're watching every day is long gone by the book of romans verse by verse so we're watching romans what do i like the best i don't know i like it all one of one of my i guess one of my favorite recent sleeves you've already got it because i'm believing for my healing and i know i have it and i'm just waiting for the full manifestation yes [Music] now i serve god because of love and love causes me to serve god stronger than condemnation ever did love is a greater motivation [Music] the seeds that um pastor uh duane was talking about so i was excited about that and how he was explaining um you know about the ground he was just going into that so i really want to learn more tonight so god is not the author of all these bad seeds nor the gardener of them he has planted nothing but good seed in you has called you to now plant in another part of your heart good seed and he is the lord of the harvest helen [Music] [Applause] [Music] i am really excited about this brand new product entitled biblical worldview sexuality our culture has gotten so far away from what god intended sexuality to be satan has a vested interest in the destruction of the family many people feel stronger to the bond of their children than they do their own spouse that comes from a lack of understanding what a marriage is the whole goal of the enemy is to kind of redefine what love is what is love what is identity myself and five other ministers we are sharing what the word of god has to say on sexuality in this new series that i have out entitled biblical worldview sexuality [Music] hallelujah praise god and in god good that was just awesome praise and worship has god been faithful to anybody man isn't god good they were singing about no one compares boy that is absolutely true that's awesome are charlie and jill still in here where's charlie come up here charlie and tell them a little bit about your ministry we met each other in 1980 and we have been together ever since he was a young man back then and i tell you what i just love them and you know even though uh lamont was here singing and worshipping the lord and minister healing out of his own need he's been fighting the battle and man i believe you got healed brother and uh all of these good things are happening but you know what charlie and jill are the ones who oversee it and allow it to happen they aren't here hogging the platform they're awesome you guys are awesome tell them a little bit about your ministry because we've got a lot of materials here praise the lord well it's a real honor to just to be a part of these meetings we appreciate andrew and jamie so much uh loving us and caring for us and and loving our ministry now for almost 40 years back in 1980 we heard andrew on the radio we had just graduated from a bible college and uh we heard him on the radio in phoenix and we heard that he was coming to phoenix so we immediately said boy we like this guy we're going to go listen to him and he doesn't really hadn't heard this side of the story much but he had a prophetic word for a young couple in the back somewhere and the lord spoke to him some things for us and we just knew it was us so we uh we obeyed the lord and a few months later he came back to phoenix and our pastor asked us to lead worship while he was preaching so we led worship so we began to get to know each other he gives a story about us bringing pizza to him uh the what is it the the way to a man's heart is pizza over his stomach there you go and they came to our meeting and had one cassette tape with one song i think on each so there's four songs two songs on each side and that's the start of their ministry now look at all of the songs that's the way it started and andrew loved us and and invited us to a minister's conference in albuquerque new mexico we started leading worship there for him and then it's just been history ever since we've been all over the world with andrew and jamie and and we've just uh had such an incredible time and it's an honor to be here and to worship with this incredible band can you all give a big hand for this man incredible band hallelujah they're just so much fun to work with and they're behind the scenes man they just love the lord with all their heart their worshipers their prayers and there's no fake stuff going on here we all are seeking god with all of our heart and want to see his glory manifested in powerful ways i want to see you touched and changed and that's the same heart behind our recordings jill and i have been recording music since 1980 and uh and we've just been putting out songs that the lord gives us just song after song and we've just feel like the lord spoke to us colossians 3 16 to teach and to admonish in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs so we began to put the word of god in song every chance we could if we read a psalm and we like it we put a melody to it if we see hear a good teaching by andrew or anybody dwayne we'll we'll write a song about it and put it in in song you know we learned years ago that you know they earned the alphabet by singing it right and you learn things by singing and you learn the word of god by singing it over and over and over again hallelujah you get the word of god in you and that's why you got to be be careful little children what you listen to amen you've got to be careful what you listen to because it'd be a pretty message but it can be saying something totally against the word of god and it'll sink into your spirit and it'll be it'll affect your beliefs and you've got to be careful with that okay when charlie's not singing he's preaching this man can preach sorry got the word in him amen anyway so we got all these music uh cds we know they will really bless you i wanna in particular mention uh the every praise cd is that is that here it's not up here we gave it away we just did a recording last october with this entire band and and many of the songs that the title cut is every praise and you heard lamont do that tonight what an awesome uh job he does on that song and many of the songs that we've done this week are on that cd you don't want to leave here without every praise it's a powerful cd and then all of our cds are at the cd table i don't believe there's anyone money back guarantee hallelujah if you don't like it we'll just bless you and give your money back but these are uh what something we've done recently in the last couple years is we put all of our songs on two different usb sticks so this usb stick here has 97 songs on it and so this is over at octave i think for 50 and so you can't get a better deal than that even on itunes and then this one is is from our earlier collection of songs that we did for years and years we traveled with joyce meyer for many years did a lot of songs with her a lot of recordings and this one has 102 songs so if you want to get our whole repertoire and just pop them in your car pop them in your computer you can just continue to hear the word of god in song day and night so god bless you thank you for man you know what what's that old saying it takes two to tangle something like that well tell you what your hearts and your worship in this place has just encouraged us so much we have been so lifted and ministered to by just seeing you guys just worshiping jesus with all your heart so thank you for the opportunity to do this amen [Music] okay aren't they a blessing raquel would you come up here i was watching raquel tonight and i think god was really ministering to you wasn't he this is raquel here i'll help you up if you don't pull me down pull you down i tell you this woman's a blessing and so uh tell them what jesus has done for you you know we were singing about miracle worker waymaker and i tell you this woman in the natural should have been dead a long time ago and here she is just worshiping and praising god what's jesus done for you raquel oh my gosh hey by the way i like your dude last time i saw her she had short hair now look at this it grew overnight this is what you know people of my complexion this is kind of we gotta resort to sometimes when we go to humid climates okay be thankful oh thank you lord um well yes i should have been gone a long time ago i when i was in high school i was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called lupus and basically the devil just tried to take me out cold um the doctors didn't know really what it was at first they knew it was autoimmune but they didn't exactly know what to do to treat it they put me on a lot of steroids they put me on a lot of ironically hydroxychloroquine the big thing that that is treating covet now they put me on a lot of that they put me on everything um and with me being young i think i had the you know youth on my side so i was able to go off to camp you know go off on you know to college and live on campus and wasn't really affected by too much of anything i was always athletic i did 10 years of ballet i ran track and field played volleyball basketball everything and so i was athletic and energized and it didn't really seem to affect me um but i really didn't know what the devil was really trying to do uh so i took some medication took steroids when a flare would come up i would take steroids pop a couple of prednisone pills and and that was that it would just kind of wipe it out and i didn't really have to think about it well fast forward all the way up to 2005 when i get married meet the man of my dreams and uh literally on our wedding night i am like paralyzed with 106 degree fever and all of a sudden the symptoms just came on me like a flood like it had never happened before extreme fatigue um extreme arthritic rheumatism um symptoms in my joints um we just didn't know what was going on bottom line the doctor doesn't know what's going on um puts me on a whole slew of you know of medications all over again but i ended up experiencing a host of things that one night july 23 2005 our anniversary night our wedding night would lead to a whole decades worth of challenges involving everything from kidney failure heart failure peritoneal dialysis through the stomach hemodialysis through the arm loss of the ability to urinate loss of the ability to have a bowel movement here's some stroke seizures this is her arm and what all of this that's hemodialysis almost seven years of hemodialysis um i ended up doing chemotherapy at one point my immune system was so out of control that the doctors basically said you know what why don't we do chemo on you let's kill your immune system because they didn't know what they medications couldn't even stop it so we opted for chemotherapy sure let's do chemo and i mean and it ended up like i said seizures strokes i experienced symptoms from from medication things that weren't even related to the condition itself but related to the medication that i took and it wasn't until i had come out of the hospital i was a little over 100 pounds i'm about 150 pounds now and i was about 100 pounds back then skin and bones my hair had completely fallen out i had blisters all over my face i'd come out of icu for three weeks bed sores almost to the bone because the nurses forgot to rotate me for three weeks and i see you um and we hear andrew my parents started listening to him they told me hey you need to listen to this guy so i started listening turned my husband on to him my husband didn't want to listen at first we all know why [Laughter] i was boring [Laughter] we all know why we didn't hear the pastor dwayne godda seeds uh we didn't hear all that from andrew so we kind of were like click so we finally listened to the holy spirit and it was like the the the lights just went off we could not believe it was like we were hearing a whole new word it was it was there the whole time but we hadn't heard it the way this man the way the holy spirit used this man to to to deliver it so we heard it and literally i was just out of the hospital and we were in colorado within two months of hearing andrew's first message we were in colorado because we had to get what this man was putting down we had to pick it up pick out what this man was putting down so he came up 2011 came up we're planning on going to school but the devil tried to hit us again try to knock me out again when the semester we completed one semester and i was a zombie i call that my zombie time because i don't remember anything oh uh 9 000 feet elevation isn't good for somebody with heart failure no couldn't i already couldn't breathe you know so we're up there and we only complete one semester and that was kind of a blur and then when it was time for the second semester to begin i was in the hospital again and most people would say you know what maybe it wasn't the time maybe maybe i didn't hear from god you know when you get challenged with something a lot of times you question your decision but we said oh no we came up here to get what we know we were supposed to come up here to get and we're not going back without it so we had to drop out of school we actually had to drop out of school because we couldn't continue at the moment i was in the hospital we couldn't continue we dropped out of school we told andrew we will be back and andrew kind of looked at us and i remember thinking yeah i've talked i've told this many times and he looked at us chances are you won't come back like he didn't believe us and i was just like he just lied to us he told us okay but he he doesn't believe us and we left and we were gone for several years we were there we stayed up there we stayed in healing school i stayed a part of the worship team i tried to come as often as i could and just stay you got to stay in the flow you can't let the devil get you out and get you away and get you ostracized and get you thinking that you made a mistake so we stayed up under it we stayed under the umbrella of protection and provision and in 2015 we were able to finally return and go back to school and we completed and graduated in 2017 finally um so god has completely restored i did end up getting a kidney transplant that was where my level of faith was at the time i didn't have a revelation that i had now when when the doctor told me i had heart failure i had been meditating on these truths and i had i had a different response to the heart failure diagnosis it was like no i knew in that moment no and i said no and god met me at my no they were but with the heart but with the but with the kidneys they were actually talking heart transplant that's how bad it was both transplants but for the heart i grabbed a hold of these truths and i said no with the kidneys i kind of was like a lull to sleep and i kind of just like went along with their plan and and had a kidney transplant and the lord met me at the kidney transplant so i just wanted to say that god will meet you where you draw the line god's provision is for you but it's where you draw the line and i always tell people who hear my testimony they're like well why did you i'm a little discouraged because you got and i'm just like don't be discouraged this is this is the situation i i accepted the kidney diagnosis and the kidney symptoms and the kidney i was lulled to sleep i did not stand i did not draw a line in the sand concerning that but i do a line in the sand concerning my heart the bible says follow those who through faith and patience inherit the promise don't follow those who who didn't okay i didn't concerning my kidneys but i did concerning my heart praise god and i am here as a testimony to the fact that god will meet you where you are and i praise god so forgive me for that song but i was just losing it thinking about everything that god has delivered me from and where he has brought me up to this point praise god tonight yeah i just was like oh my gosh he is so faithful i should have been dead the doctor asked me what i did the heart doctor looked at me when my heart came back is normal and he asked me what i had done he asked me what i had done and i said god healed my heart and he's just like well like what did he give you like what what pills he giving you you know the gospel hallelujah amen amen that's awesome [Applause] [Music] awesome awesome amen and her husband herman is just an awesome awesome man and and god's really really using them and so what god did for them he will do for you god is no respecter of persons let me quickly mention some of these products i've got this book effortless change how many of you have ever gotten this book on effortless change well quite a few of you but man this is this is exactly what dwayne's talking about i took everything he teaches and fixed it and this is this is it right here so you can get this book and it'll just solve all of the problems anyway this is a great teaching that is really good so somebody take advantage of that this one is on how to find follow and fulfill god's will and dwayne and i are holding a destiny conference do you know the dates september something 16th and it's going to be in colorado springs and dwayne and i are going to minister on this how to find follow and fulfill god's will this is my teaching and dwayne will take my teaching and fix it and put it out right amen but but it's going to be a great conference and so that's really good we've got this this is one of our biblical worldview things on sexuality that you saw advertised and i tell you this is so important most people do not know what the word of god says about these subjects it's the ignorance of god's word that makes us susceptible to so many problems and so that's what this teaching is on biblical worldview on sexuality and this one is entitled grace the power of the gospel if you're watching my television program now i'm teaching verse by verse through the book of romans and i've got a brand new book out on that that's 400 and i think 30 pages hardback but this is teaching verse by verse through the first eight chapters the one i'm teaching on television now just went on through the rest of the book of romans and so it's a little bit expanded but this is a teaching that i did probably 10 years ago entitled grace the power of the gospel and it's teaching verse by verse through the first eight chapters of the book of romans and i tell you this is a life changer right there and it would be really really good all right i'm going to receive an offer and i'd like our ushers to go ahead and pass out envelopes and let me just use one verse to kind of set this up luke 6 38 says give and it shall be given unto you good measure pressed down shaken together and running over shall men give into your bosom for with the same measure that you meet with all it shall be measured to you again and i'm sure that most of us have heard that but rather than me teach this tonight i had a video sent to me today by my television department and we put out uh healing journeys raquel's testimony is on one of our healing journeys and you could get that whole uh testimony that she gave in an expanded form through that but we also put out grace encounters some of the most powerful testimonies i've ever heard in my life are on these two volumes of grace encounters and then we also have just destiny stories about people's lives that have been changed and this afternoon they sent a link to me to approve this testimony i talked to this woman two weeks ago and she gave me this testimony real quickly but they sent it to me today to approve and i thought it was so good i'm gonna use this for our offering because it is a illustrated teaching of what will happen the only thing i'll add to this testimony is that when she gave me this check in tennessee it was sixteen hundred dollars that was every penny that she had to her name she was homeless and this was unemployment gave me a sixteen hundred dollar check and and totally emptied everything she had so what's this little testimony about jj brazelton and we'll use that for our offering tonight if you've ever gone down a street where there's a cornfield on the right corn field on the left and if you look right you can't see anything you look all you can see is corn i said that was my life i was going down the middle of a corn maze and i couldn't see over it because i wasn't tall enough i couldn't get through it because it was too long and i couldn't see through it or see around it and i just felt like i was just like walking almost in the dark jesus warned that the cares of this life will choke the word of god but how do you not worry when you're homeless this was the case for j.j brazelton who was working as a realtor when the housing market crashed in 2009 taking with it her job her marriage and her home this is the story of how andrew's free teachings helped one homeless woman from tennessee cast her cares upon the lord so that she could walk in the abundant life that jesus has provided this is the financial breakthrough of j.j brazelton my whole life crashed before my very eyes i ended up losing everything at once on christmas eve found out that my husband was no longer in love with me and was in love with someone else i lost my home in a short sale it was like going down a rollercoaster ride that never ended it was just like i just kept going down down down down down i was homeless and living wherever i could find a place temporary with any anybody and everybody guys being passed around to friends and family and nobody really wants you very long and you would go by my car and it would be filled to the brim you know to the top of all my clothes all my bills all my credit card statements and you feel you know alone in your car alone in your situation alone in your embarrassment while living out of her car and sleeping on couches jj applied for several jobs only to continually hit a dead end previous to the market crash jj had been listening to andrew wommack where she had become grounded in her identity in christ though the cares of being unemployed homeless and divorced threatened to choke the word that was already planted in her heart jj chose to renew her mind rather than give in to hopelessness she saw in the natural all the tools and all the cds and all the books it was like my survival kit the word of god remained and just like that little fire was still in me just enough to keep me you know from basically suicide and given up completely and i started getting just so many cds for free and it was coming alive inside of me and it was changing my thinking the seed the word of god is never the problem it's never the word of god that doesn't work but the seed didn't produce fruit in all of these instances not because there was anything wrong with the word but there was something wrong with the ground it is never the word of god that fails it's people's hearts that fail we're hard-hearted we don't have root in the word of god we let the cares of this life and other things choke the word it's always us that keeps a word from working the word is incorruptible it never fails i had planted so much bad seed that i had a harvest full of bad corn all around me and the only way i was going to get out of that horrible corn field that i had planted was i was going to walk it out as jj renewed her mind she was able to uproot the worries unforgiveness and lies that had been planted in her heart now with nothing to choke it god's word began to work and jj began to hear his voice clearly while attending a gospel truth seminar in tennessee jj heard the holy spirit instruct her to personally hand andrew with check with a little money she had left in her bank account the holy spirit was dealing me give the money give the money and i kept like wrestling inside me you know that but i need the money and but it's like we've already been there we've already done this you know this is why you this is the only reason you came was to give the ministry andrew womack ministry the money he opened his hand and put the money in his hand and he held my hand and he prayed for me and asked god to bless me a hundred fold whatever i had put in his hand after sowing in faith and trusting god for the increase jj received a call back from a home builder in tennessee that needed someone to work in one of their least successful neighborhoods since this job was commission base and the industry was still reeling from the recession jj would need to continue to cast her cares upon the lord the person that had been in there prior to me had only sold two houses in a year so when they gave it to me i already knew this was going to be uphill battle and if god didn't help me i was going to be toast the home building industry was just in the doldrums and we had this one neighborhood that was fledgling but you can't hire anyone to starve and jj convinced me i have no further to fall they put me in this community and i had to build out the last section of the community and i built 46 houses in 16 months and so my owner came in one day and said you just want to know what was going on in here because i was doing so well and selling everything so fast i was so happy and everything was just grand and i said oh nothing much just me and god having a good time just her discipline in sticking to the job it made the difference and i'm so glad we took that chance god bless the work of jj's hands and gave her so much favor with her job that when her company found out she was homeless they decided to build her a house for free and my boss found out that i had nowhere else to go so they moved me in the model home and let me use the furniture and the washer and dryer and so i lived in the model home for three months while they built me a brand new house next door to the model home today jj is continuing to see the word of god alive in her life working as a licensed realtor selling and building homes for tennessee's largest homebuilder over the past six years she has done 100 million dollars in new home since not only does she love building homes she is also passionate about building andrew's vision by giving money that she never dreamed would have been possible years ago it had to be god that kept her going because i don't know how she did what she did and listening to andrew she started believing the word you know you can read the word she started really believing the word and he has gone nowhere but up it's just been so fun and such a joy to see god's purpose in my life which is to give to the ministry and watch it grow and watch the campus grow i want to thank each and every partner i'm living proof as i sit here today that giving free material it works [Music] and god is no respecter of persons what he did for j.j he'll do for any person in here if you'll just believe and receive and uh praise god i'm going to pray for you right now the same way that i did for j.j and in the offering tonight if you have a need i challenge you to plant a seed if you have a need many people will look at what they have and they say it's not enough if it's not enough for your need then turn it into a seed and plant it and it'll grow and it'll multiply isn't that awesome so father we love you and we thank you that you love us and just as you came through for j.j and she had a house given to her and all of these opportunities father i thank you that you love every single person here just as much that you love us more than any of us realize and i'm asking that you would help people here tonight to take a step of faith to lift their eyes up beyond their situation and quit looking at all of the problems and instead see the promises and as people act and give father i pray for a hundred fold return in this life on everything that they give and father we thank you and we receive that in the name of jesus amen you can receive the offering and our praise group is going to minister to us one more time [Music] oh [Music] me i see the stars [Music] the universe [Music] displays [Music] is [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] when [Music] my [Music] is [Music] my god [Music] to thee [Music] oh [Music] [Music] oh [Music] thee [Music] [Applause] [Music] god oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hallelujah thank you in case some of you didn't know this is jamie my wife and we are in our 49th year of marriage next year will be our 50th wedding anniversary to the same person that's awesome that's amazing awesome praise the lord i know that many of you have heard me say this but i just feel nearly obligated every time i hear that song to just glorify god because that was my dad's favorite song and at his funeral uh i was 12 years old that's been 60 years ago they were singing that song and i was on the front row it was an open casket and i was looking at my father's body i had fasted for him as an 11 year old he was in the hospital for weeks and it didn't look like our prayers were answered he died the pastor of the church told me that god needed him in heaven more than i needed him which even as a 12 year old i couldn't figure that one out and uh when they were singing that song i remember just saying god if you're really great show me who you are reveal yourself to me what is my purpose and i really believe that that prayer is what jump-started my life and it was uh six years later when i had my encounter with the lord and he showed up march the 23rd 1968 and it just changed everything so i never hear that song without thinking about man how great god is to answer a prayer that i didn't even know what i was praying and yet he answered that prayer isn't that awesome man if god will do that for a 12 year old boy he'll do it for any person in here if you're sincere amen so we are glad to have pastor dwayne sheriff back how many of you were not here this morning and did not hear him could i see your hands well there's quite a few hands there dwayne but this pastor duane sheriff is pastor in durant oklahoma has 12 different campuses around the world and is one of my board members and just a powerful powerful man of god and we're looking forward to hearing from you tonight amen thank you i love you brother i love you more what a blessing to be with you and get to share i enjoy any kind of meeting i get to partner with andrew and the people that set under him are just absolutely wonderful and so easy to minister to and so thank you for your heart for the lord and just coming out i have ran out of i believe all of our free cds uh apologize for that uh but you can go to pastorduane.com pastorduane.com and all of my stuff is free and you can download other messages i'll refer to some probably in the teaching but all that materials available to you at no cost thank you for our partners same thing as andrew it takes partners to do that so i i appreciate all the partners that are here i do have one of our books that i want to sew tonight this is called our union with christ and i let the publisher talk me out of my instincts of what to name this but this is a book in regards to marriage and literally our marriage to the lord and we live in a culture that is absolutely unraveling and marriage is vital to civil society and the home and yet we have young people today that sincerely do not know what a marriage is and that's so sad marriage has never for thousands of years been challenged like this generation has challenged it and it's an assault on the gospel and people don't even see it they don't realize it uh some of the chapters just to give you an idea uh the unveiling meaning revelation of jesus is the opening chapter our victory that's some of the things i'm teaching you how to experience victory here now then honor marriage who created marriage how can we not know who created marriage and yet i'm telling you people do not know who created it and thereby who gets to define it why get married most people have no idea why to get married some of you are looking at me right now like yeah why did i get married that's not my intent the purpose of marriage what's the purpose of marriage think about these things there were generations past could have answered these questions and i'm telling you young people today can't answer any of these questions and then i get into christ and the church and how that marriage is something we see that unveil something we cannot see our relationship with jesus as our husband jesus is your husband i've got a chapter in here on how that he's a jealous god i remember stumbling over i've never heard anybody say this i've not even heard andrew say this so this is huge pay attention i remember stumbling over a scripture that talks about how god's name is jealous that his name is he's a jealous god and this is what andrew's ministering on on the fear of the lord and and how that we don't honor god we don't reverence god we don't understand the relationship we have so this deals with that marriage and and how to have a deeper relationship with jesus i'm hoping to tie a little bit in with the teaching tonight the living word with the written word what makes the word of god sown in the heart that changes you and your life is still connected to an intimate relationship with the living word jesus and i hope to get that over all right matt there's got to be somebody in there that doesn't know what a marriage is i don't think anybody wants it we'll keep it if you don't want it we'll [Laughter] all right mark chapter four let's go back there mark chapter four father i love you so much and i thank you for this opportunity to share what an honor what a blessing to be with my friends and family and search the scriptures together and lord as we look at the mystery of seeds the mystery of the ground i just pray holy spirit you help me to communicate to connect dots to inspire people in their hunger for the word of god and their faith in the unchanging immutable word of god i just thank you for that and believe for it in jesus name amen well i began sharing in my first session on the subject of seeds and i've decided to change the title for numerous reasons and one of my good friends encouraged me that what i'm really sharing on is how to receive your harvest how to receive your harvest and god has a harvest for each and every one of us he has nothing but a good harvest for each and every one of us he has nothing but a bountiful harvest for each and every one of us and god is not withholding any good thing from us and yet so many of us are falling short of the blessings and benefits the harvest that jesus has bought and paid for because like me for years we don't know how to cooperate with these kingdom principles we don't understand the mystery of seeds we don't understand at large the mystery of of the ground we don't understand how god has given us natural things to point to supernatural things and learning these natural things will help us understand these spiritual things and reap a mighty harvest in these last of the last days i believe the lord has spoken to me and that we are to be preparing and participating in a great awakening and i'm not sure how that's all going to look i just know it's going to be good amen i just know i'm excited about being a part of it i'm preparing our church i'm preparing churches all over the country to receive a harvest because jesus is the lord of the harvest he wants to teach you individually how to reap your harvest bought and paid for by the precious blood of jesus but he also wants to teach us how to reap a harvest in this world of souls for the kingdom of god so all of these things interconnect one of the things i opened with is how i struggled in church as a young person and felt so inferior so incompetent so lacking in any ability to please god and had this tremendous desire to serve god but didn't know how to receive from god and i just thought people had a corner on god i just thought people had a special anointing and i was trying to figure out how to get that anointing and that god just had favorites that he just picks and chooses who he's going to bless it's almost like you got to catch god in a good mood in the church i went to it was rare that he ever had one and so you're waiting on god to be in a good mood then you need to get up on the right side of the bed and i found myself always getting up on the wrong side of the bed when it came to my walk with god man i felt miserably from 1965 when i gave my heart to the lord it was real i got born again the pastor's wife was just elated on the change in my heart and the glow and the excitement about jesus and yet from 1965 all the way to 1980 i failed miserably as a person in life but as a christian i loved god and i pursued god the best way i knew how all the way up to 1977 and when my brother got killed it was just overwhelming in my family he got killed in an automobile accident i didn't know how to process the grief some neighbors told my family that god took him because of our sins and that really confused me because the people across the street were sinning much better than we were and they still had their kids i mean it just messed me up and so i have this encounter with jesus in 1980 and i cover that in that that book called identity theft and where i have this altar experience i have an open vision of the cross and i saw the work of the cross i saw the complete perfect finish work of the cross and how that i was there in jesus and that when he died i literally saw myself in a vision an open vision in jesus and when he died i died i literally saw my sins this is so hard to this day to communicate what i saw but i saw my sins literally put on jesus and god puni i didn't know this was in the bible but i saw god put my sins on jesus and punished jesus for all of my sins and i saw a death of my old man i was buried with him i was raised with him i ascended with him and then it ended the vision ended with me seated with him in heavenly places with him telling me we will rule and reign together forever think about that this shook me to my core it changed my whole world turned it literally upside right finally because everything was so upside down and yet i had to find out what is this i've just seen and it was the word of god and digging in the word of god and taking the word of god and planting it somehow i knew these things i don't know how i knew it but somehow i knew it and then i learned it that i need to take what god's word says about what i just saw and put it deep in my heart and it will change my life and it did it has it's amazing what happened to me from 1980 all the way to here again total failure and now just such blessings and success something changed in 1980 and it wasn't just the vision it was the word of god in my life it was the word of god in my life so i have been walking in these things for quite some time and teaching them in our ministry and around the country especially but there's just a new level that god is doing in the earth today and i believe he's taking all of us that understand the principle of seed time and harvest and i believe there's revelation coming i believe there's a new unveiling coming i believe there's going to be a new depth to this and i got a word from the lord at the beginning of the year concerning the law of sowing and reaping and how that as we come into this great awakening god wants to if you will speed up this law of seedtime and harvest in our lives for me i'm not saying this is right i'm just being real and authentic and honest for me for years it was seed time time time and little bitty harvest in genesis 8 that i took you to verse 22 it's called seed time seed time god is not wanting to stretch out seed time and harvest but if we do not judge ourself in some areas if we don't understand whatsoever we sow we're going to reap if we continue to sow to our flesh and god shortens seedtime and harvest then we're going to reap corruption quicker so we need a revival we need to get away from sowing bad seeds and we need to learn to start sowing the right seeds and get not only a quick harvest but get a bountiful harvest and those are the things i'm sharing on those are the things i'm endeavoring to communicate that the lord is is speaking to me again and i just pray that you're able to receive those of you that weren't here earlier i'm not sure if you can connect totally these cds are going to be available i can't review i'm already behind as i'm doing this now and so i encourage you to get the cds but we talked about the mystery of seeds and how that there are just some things you have to understand about seeds first of all life is in a seed second of all it has to be sown or it remains alone it has to fall in the ground and die it has to be watered we even talked about a little bit about how do the seeds of god's word sown in our heart get watered and one of the things that happened tonight that the lord gave me that witness of one of the ways your seeds get watered is in a service like this a corporate anointing where praise and worship is like watering the seed that's why there's changes change that happens supernaturally during worship time if you really lean into your worship time you're watering those seeds the holy spirit is watering those seeds in thanksgiving every time you start thanking god for what you already have thanking god for what he's already put in your ground i'm ahead of myself but we need to get going here but once you start thanking god for him making you good ground and his seed being incorruptable immutable unchangeable and it has life in it to reproduce after its own kind and you sow that into your heart you plant it you start watering it in worship and thanksgiving that seed will take root and in time you will bear much fruit amen so let's look at this again mark chapter 4 is where uh where i was in the other session so let's let's go back to there mark chapter 4 verse 26 and he said this is jesus speaking that the kingdom of god is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground now i'm going to talk about natural seeds here in a minute and natural ground but remember we're connecting this to something spiritual and he said this is how the kingdom works it's as if a man should sow seed into the ground this is how god works in our lives this is how god moves in our lives this is how the grace of god that has provided everything we have need of is released released through faith sown seeds the kingdom of god is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground and should sleep by night rise by day and the seed should sprout and grow he himself does not know how for the earth and here's what i want you to underline or take note of for the earth yields crops of itself first the blade then the head after that the full grain in the head but when the grain ripens immediately he puts in the sickle because the harvest has come remember one of the things i began to share and and billy elaborated on as he received the offering is many times you have to understand you sow a seed in one form but you reap it in another form you've got to hear a testimony she sowed sixteen hundred dollars she didn't get cash back she got a brand new home that's good measure pressed down and shaking together and running over shall men given you abuse it was sown in one form it was reaped in another form you can see this throughout scripture and boy i can't believe that came back i asked the lord not to bring that back i'm going to say this is dwayne ology you can fix this but jesus cooperate jesus jesus created all these immutable laws jesus is the word sown in the earth that brought forth a family of god that i shared so jesus operated perfectly in this and jesus didn't just do things like magic he didn't do things just haphazardly or accidentally everything jesus did he did on purpose and for a purpose well i can't believe you're saying amen to that it's awesome i don't know what to do now you disarmed me i thought i'd have to explain that hallelujah people really think jesus walked around and just zapped people and just well i guess i like that person bam you're healed there were laws that operated there were seeds seedtime and harvest i can show you in so many places that i had missed that have enlarged my imagination and vision for this this last day harvest when jesus was at that wedding and there was a need he knew what i'm teaching for every need there's a seed and that if you have a seed and you mix faith with a seed you can sow a seed in one form and reap it in another form and so he has a need presented to him so what does he do he starts looking for a seed immediately to sow and remember when jesus sowed a seed it was seedtime remember the little boy's lunch that was a seed feed them all we got is a little boy's lunch that's all you need is a seed and jesus operated in perfection in this and he took that little boy's lunch five loaves and two fishes and and he took it as a seed that little boy sowed that seed he gave it to jesus jesus blessed it he mixed faith with that seed and it was sea time and harvest it exploded in the hands of the disciples as they were passing out and 5 000 men alone got fed off of a tiny little seed well i'm sorry i just get excited about that when i think about that and and and the miracle of that but how it wasn't just magic or just jesus zapping the crowd five thousand men alone were fed you know if there were five thousand men in that miracle there had to be ten thousand women there's never been a meeting where more men show up than women i had a men's retreat one time and more women showed up than men you got 5 000 men 10 000 women all you got kids when you get those two groups together there were thousands of people there and listen not only were all of them fed there were 12 baskets left over and i am stepping out a little further again even with the water turned to wine i believe that little boy took at least one of them baskets home and don't you know his life was forever changed that his little bitty lunch fed thousands of people and 12 baskets left over again jesus took water a seed sowed it in one form and reaped it in another form now again i'm i'm stretching a little bit there that that might not be received i don't know but i know there had to be a miracle there and i know there had to be a purpose and i know one thing every need god has provided a seed and i believe jesus modeled that there is no need you'll ever face that god hadn't given you a seed and if you can sow it in one form and mix faith with it you can reap it in another form so where was i before i got on track notice in this fourth chapter verse 28 for the earth yields crops of itself first the blade then the head after that the full grain in the head andrew is the only other minister i've heard and and we saw a video i'm still wavering a little bit why am i here uh these great videos on seeds and his book on seeds all i know is i hope i at least water some of the seeds he has sown and that you get a harvest but the bottom line the bottom line here is the ground produced and i love the way jesus said it of herself the feminine gender used in the parable or the or the example how many of you know that women do not produce children oh no you did not know that please don't make me explain this we're going to try that again women do not produce children they bear children seed produces a woman has to have a seed you got it the earth yields crops of herself everything we need is in the ground when god created first creation i always say first creation because we are a part of the new creation and that's what i'm i'm always comparing so when god created first creation the earth everything was in the ground everything was already in the ground you can go out here today and i'm telling you if you if you broke up all this concrete you guys live in the concrete jungle this is terrible my heart goes out to you but if you was to break up all that concrete out there believe it or not there's dirt under there there's earth under there and in that dirt is corn in that dirt there's pear trees in that dirt there's orange trees there's watermelons there's flowers it's in the dirt but it has to be activated by a seed and a seed activates the ground and the ground brings forth the fruit go to genesis chapter 2 and let's look at this quickly genesis chapter 2 verse 7 and the lord god formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living soul so man humans homo sapiens we came from the ground adam came out of the ground and he came out of the ground and god made him a full-grown man god skip the changing diaper season and i'm sure god said i'm not going through the teenage stage [Music] i'm sorry i've i've raised four kids i mean i've raised two daughters filled with the holy spirit i can raise the dead hallelujah i guarantee you god god brought him out of the ground as we go on to read everything originally came out of the ground that means it was there it was already there look at the the eighth verse the lord god planted a garden eastward in eden and there he put the man whom he had formed and out of the ground the lord god made every tree that is pleasant to sight and good for food the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil notice that the trees the first tree came out of the ground you have to see this i hadn't seen this in its in its complete form and then the connectivity to not only the ground of our heart but our promised land you don't hear much about our promised land israel was promised a land and in the land every need they had would be met and it would be a land that flows with milk and honey not only i'm going to show you that our heart is ground and everything we have need of if you're born again is in your heart it's in your heart a part of your heart we have a promised land it's called the kingdom of god and in that land we have everything we have need of in this life yet we don't even know how to possess the kingdom of god we don't know the process especially the things paul said about with great tribulation we'll enter the kingdom of of god there's so much tribulation most people don't enter into that promised land flowing milk and honey that has special things already in it for you or the ground that god has given us again the trees came out of the ground go to verse 18. the trees and the fruit all the fruit trees verse 18 and the lord god said it's not good that the man should be alone i'll make a help meet or a help comparable to him out of the ground the lord formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to adam to see what he would call them and whatsoever adam called him that was the name of of every living creature so so the birds came from the ground the trees came from the ground the flowers came from the ground again god created everything in maturity people ask questions like which came first the chicken or the egg we made has read the bible knows which came first the chicken thought i'd give you the answer some of you looked like you weren't sure god didn't bring an egg out of the ground brought a chicken he bought a he brought a girl chicken and a boy chicken and he said you guys get together and make other chickens that's the truth as god brought everything from and out of the ground go to genesis 1 26 he speaks to everything he brought out of the ground and commands it to be fruitful now and multiply so what he brought out of the ground had seed and so since the first tree that came out of the ground every other tree came from a seed etc etc etc and i shared with you in our last session how everything has come from a seed you came from a seed we all came from seeds in verse 26 and god said let us make man in our image according to our likeness let them have dominion over the fish of the sea birds of the air cattle over every uh over all the earth and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth aren't you glad you have dominion over creeps amen so god created man in his own image and the image of god created he him male and female created thee he them then god blessed them and said to them be fruitful and multiply fill the earth and subdue it have dominion over the fish of the seed the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth and god said see now look at this and god said see i have given you every herb that you that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth and every tree whose fruit yields seeds to you it shall be for food also to every beast of the earth and bird in the air et cetera et cetera so after he takes everything out of the ground and remember everything we experience came out of the ground and a seed all the oil we'll ever need is in the ground and it didn't get there later by dinosaurs dying it was in the ground it comes from the ground here's a lightning fast thought it's a natural resource it comes from the ground it provides any need we have all the gold we need is in the ground all the silver everything we have need of is in the ground and that which provides our basic needs as seeds not only for us but for every generation till the end comes and we have to understand that and cooperate then with this thing of seedtime and harvest go to genesis chapter 4. genesis chapter 4. look at verse 1. now adam knew his wife and she conceived and bore cain and said i've acquired a man of the lord then she bore again this time his brother abel now abel was a keeper of the sheep but cain was a tiller of the ground cain was a tiller of the ground remember when god created adam he put him in the garden to till the garden the first man the father of creation was a gardener in original creation and was to till the ground because everything came out of the ground and you've got to cooperate with ground in order to prosper now cain firstborn is a tiller of the ground and here's what's pretty powerful look at this but cain was a tiller of the ground and in the process of time it came to pass that cain brought an offering of the fruit of the what the fruit of the ground see the fruit came from the ground it came through the seed the seed activated it but it came from the ground and notice that he's bringing an offering to god from the fruit of the ground so listen the ground was producing for him and yielding its strength at this time as he's seeking god his heart's not right we know all that we'll get into that here maybe in a second but the bottom line is the ground was producing as he was seeking god even in bringing god an offering you need to note that before we get to the next passage you know what happened his offering was rejected go to verse 10. abel's was accepted it angered cain and he killed his brother and verse 10 says and he said what have you done this is god speaking to cain well there's so much in here about god's love for people and how god fellowshipped with them and how god did not forsake them even when they sinned even when they had fallen i mean one of the most horrible sins that's ever been committed on the planet is what adam did he he plunged this entire place into chaos all this death is because of original sin all this sickness all this terrible stuff wickedness his sin was horrible and yet god drove him out of the garden to protect the way or the tree of eternal life so he wouldn't eat of the tree of eternal life and live forever in a fallen condition and kept fellowshipping with him kept talking to him this was so confusing for me as a kid i really struggled on my own again trying to read the bible and just getting stuck and this is one of the places i'd always get stuck because every message i'd ever heard from the pulpit if you've got any sin in your life god's not going to fellowship with you uh-oh y'all heard that message i i don't know what's going on with everybody i don't understand the relationship we have or don't have with god but it's like winner if i sin the fellowship with jesus picks up he gets louder chasing me convicting me compelling me boy this isn't flying praise the lord i need to hurry anyway bottom line is he's fellowshipping with adam and eve and teaching them all kinds of things where did cain and abel learn about sacrifices i actually asked that at church one i was just 10 somewhere between 10 and 12 i had a lot of bad stuff happen between 10 and 12 so i always throw it 10 and 12. and i would ask how do these guys know and i was told they got it out of the law anybody thinking because who told me that wasn't thinking the law hadn't been written yet how did they know to offer sacrifices god told them god was fellowshipping with them god was communing with them god loved him god didn't reject him sin had consequences like we're hearing sin had repercussions sin was damaging them listen and i'm going to show you the ground and yet god loved him and so god comes to him after he kills his brother and asked him where is abel your brother so he's talking to him he said i don't know and my brother's am i my brother's keeper man i've had some smart alec times in my life and my mama was quick to just never mind let me let that go so i knew smartalik i was i had a degree in smart ellie and i knew the consequences too of smart elic and she'd be in jail today if she did to me what she did and yeah here's a guy just killed somebody and the lord said where's your brother i don't know and by my brother's keeper i can even hear the tone am i my brother's keeper he's like i'm ready to slap him amen this guy god's gonna fry him to the toenails god's gonna kill him dead he'll be a heap of ashes as a testimony for generations to come here's my thinking and god is merciful to this guy it's just amazing the love of god here and he said what have you done the voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from where the ground see this planet an original creation was created in righteousness and holiness and the ground was pure the ground was holy the ground was righteous i i don't know i've dreamed about this and fellowship with god about it i can't say again with full authority but in my heart i really believe before sin hit this planet you could sow corn and it didn't take months to get a harvest the ground was so holy the ground was so rich and pure that the minute a seed hit it it activated the ground and it produced quickly sin is beginning to affect not only man but now the ground and look at what abel's blood is crying out from the ground so now you are cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand how can we grow up in church most of us and and be taught that god cursed cain god did not curse cain the ground cursed cain all right let's read it again it's just the bible you are cursed from the earth which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood at your hand look at this now when you till the ground it shall no longer yield its strength to you his sin affected the ground his sin affected his harvest god didn't hold it over him i taught you that in the last session but the ground would not yield its strength verse 3 before he sinned the ground did yield its strength something happened sin affected the ground and the ground cursed him he began to whine like a baby on cnn that wasn't god that was me that was the devil no no don't encourage that that was bad that was my flesh he's whining that his punishment's just so great he'll be a vagabond then god puts a mark on him because he's afraid now since he has committed the first murderer he's going to be killed and god puts a mark mark on him and says anybody that kills canal i'll pass sevenfold vengeance he was merciful to cain he was good it doesn't mean he was condoned in murder murder had consequences before the law even but the consequences were not god punishing him but now you have hindered your harvest you've hindered your ground and the reason this is so important you take a scripture like ii chronicles 7 14 or it might be first chronicles 7 14 but it says if my people which are called by name called by my name will humble themself pray seek my face turn from their wickedness i will hear from heaven i will forgive their iniquities and heal their land sin affects the land sin affects the ground sin affects our harvest this is why we're quick to repent i'm not repenting if or when i sin to get god to love me again he never quits loving me i'm technically and this will take too much time we don't have it but i'm technically when i'm repenting not asking him to forgive me as if he hasn't already forgive me i'm repenting to receive my forgiveness to get my body washed from the effects of this my conscience washed of the effects of this and i don't want my ground to do anything but yield its strength [Music] man i just know where i'm going and so i guess you're not there yet so you're not excited about that man i'm quick to repent because i'm believing for crop failure on that seed i don't i don't want to get a a harvest of death sow into my flesh i want a harvest of the spirit and so i've got to sow to the spirit and we're not talking about legalism here either we're talking about cooperating with this spiritual laws and how god brings us our harvest through seedtime and then harvest all right so the ground is what cursed came not god go to mark chapter 4. now let's tie this in with seed time and harvest in the kingdom of god mark chapter four jesus has just i'll start in verse 13 here in a minute but he's just told this parable and in this parable there's this farmer that just sow seeds and then the birds come and they eat the seeds up and then some of the seeds fill the the the as he sows the seeds and the birds get it it's by the wayside then as he sow in the seeds it's on stony ground and the seed sprouts but the sun rises up and with it withers it withers away then some seeds fell among thorns and the thorns just choked the seed and it didn't produce and then he talks about good seed on good ground and then he explains the parable to the disciples because they sought him for understanding the things of god have to be sought saints i'm not talking about earning it but i'm talking about sincerely hungering for god and seeking him we have to ask and it shall be given we have to seek and we find we have to knock and the door will be open this is relational and this is a pursuit of god as he's continually pursuing us so when the disciples ask what the parable meant look at verse 13 and he said unto them do you not understand this parable how then will you understand how many parables think about that if you don't get this jesus is saying you're gonna miss it on everything else i teach about the kingdom of god that's how important this is that's how vital this is to our relationship and how to receive a harvest then he goes the sower sows the word so he connects the word to seed remember the parable was a sower sow and seed now he's explaining it that the sower sows the word so what i'm doing right now is i'm sowing seeds and the seed is immutable the seed is unchangeable the seed is infallible the seed is constant the seed is precious as a matter of fact what i'm doing right now is supernatural i'm not just talking i'm not just sharing even i am literally breaking the manna that came down from heaven jesus is the manna that came down from heaven he is the bread of life and i'm literally breaking the bread of life and my words right now are spirit and they are truth and bodies of truth are being imparted into your heart literal bodies of truth [Applause] and it's being sown right now in the form of a seed and god's will is that everyone within the sound of my voice be radically transformed and changed by the power of the seed but there are reasons why there's different reactions and responses and fruit to the same body of truth i'm not i'm not ministering a body of truth to this person and a body of truth and breaking jesus and sharing him with this person i'm breaking the bread of life and sowing that seed and yet the response is different and it's not the seed again i'm so glad to be here i'm always so honored but i hear andrew and i think man he's saying it better than i'm saying it in that commercial just before i got up here he was talking about how the seed is not the problem it's the ground and yet we blame the seed when we don't see the fruit in our lives we blame god we think it's god's fault and the seed is not the problem it's the ground and that's what this parable teaches that there's four kinds of ground and you have to choose to be the fourth kind of ground let me read it i get too excited the sower sows the word i need to read this and not stop and i just stopped to say i need to quit stopping because i i just can't hardly read it the sower sows the word the word has to be sown and thereby received what is it sewn on ground and if that ground isn't understood and managed and gardened then the parable goes on to share how it it doesn't have the proper effect that god wills he says and these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown when they hear satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their heart god just promised me as a sower what i'm saying is getting sown in everybody's heart but he warns me and he warns you that there's demonic warfare going on right now there's a battle in the spirit world right now that if we could see it it would probably blow our minds because the devil fears what's happening right now more than anything on the planet because if my words that are spirit and life get sown into your heart if it makes it to your heart and it takes root by by devil bye bye poverty bye bye sickness bye bye depression bye bye possession and demonic prop bye bye to what so many people are struggling with and so the devil violently right now in the spirit world is doing everything he can to get this seed from getting to your heart and i'm telling you it's real it is real i need to keep going i was going to come back to that when they hear satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their heart now in mark's account i did it again in mark's account he doesn't tell how the devil gets it i'll explain that here in a minute verse 16 says likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who when they hear the word immediately receive it with gladness and they have no root in themselves they're casual listeners to the word of god they have no root they they don't understand that you can't just hear the word walk out of here and it have its full effect till it gets rooted in you and you get rooted in it they have no root in themselves and so they endure only for a time afterwards when tribulation or persecution arises for the word's sake immediately they stumble the king james bible says they're offended all the tribulations you're going through everything you're facing is the devil trying to get you to abort the seed that's been sown in your heart and yet how many of us have been thoroughly trained that look when all these persecutions come it's for the word's sake there's nothing worthy to persecute in you but jesus if you're being persecuted it's because jesus is seen in you it's because the word is in you amen are old me on that one so we have to wake up and go look when i'm getting persecuted that's the devil trying to get me to get offended at god or offended at somebody so he can steal the word of god out of my heart he knows the only hope he has is to keep the word of god from taking root in your heart and so all the afflictions all the persecutions all the tribulations they're coming at you to get you to stumble to get you to get offended and back up from the word the thing that's going to change your life then he goes on to say now these are they that are sown among thorns they are the ones who hear the word and the cares of this world the deceitfulness of riches and the desires of other things enter in choke the word and it becomes unfruitful now this is so powerful look at the next verse but these are the ones sown on good ground when the ground is good these are the ones sown on good ground those who hear the word and accept it and just bear fruit some 30 some 60 some hundred fold that is so simple people miss it what do i got to do to bear to bear fruit what do i have to do to have my life changed what do i have to do to to reverse these circumstances that are so so bad in my life and and have blessings coming in my life just hear the word and accept it yeah but what do i need to do just hear the word and accept it guard your heart all you got to do is guard your heart when you got born again and this is where it gets controversial a little bit but when you got born again god took away your stony hard heart and he gave you a heart of flesh he gave you a pliable heart he gave you a workable heart he gave you a heart that's good ground and in the ground of your heart a part of your heart that ground has everything you'll ever need in this life in it this is what andrew means when he's talking about you already got it why are you trying to get it when you already got it well if i got it where do i got it i got it in my heart in my ground now all i have to do is guard my heart and partner with jesus the gardener of my heart the tiller of this ground in the new creation and hear the word and accept it that god said it that's it it will take root and you will in time bear fruit amen this is such good news i minister in this area with a vengeance against satan because how could i go 15 years so defeated in all 15 years god loved me god had already provided for me in my ground but i didn't know how to take the seed of god's word sow it in the part of my heart that's not born again that's my soul one of the reasons that i stick to my guns on this is because i understand the importance of the only way you're going to bear fruit is understanding that a part of your ground is perfect a part of your ground is righteous and truly holy your spirit that part of your heart is absolutely perfect and righteous and pure and holy and good gr everything you need is already in you in christ the hope of glory in your spirit your ground the problem is not my spirit the problem is my dumb head and i said mine i did not call you a dumb head i was preaching one time in a church and the lady i'm not trying to point anybody out on the second row but i remember what row it was it was right about where that guy is i was preaching the new creation and i was preaching who we are in christ and and i just said you have a dumb head i could see the anger come on her the offense i cut my 15-minute message short and buddy she made a beeline to the pastor and started to just chew him out for letting me in their church how could you let that man come in here and call me a dumb head and so i thought that is not my fight i'll let that pastor take care of that i got my own battles hallelujah i don't want to get too spread thin with my resources and so and bless his heart he wasn't doing too good she was just cleaning his clock and i felt bad so i walked over and i said ma'am i think i've offended you and she said fake soul i said yeah i think i did what is wrong you called me a dumb head and i said ma'am i did not call you a dumb head now if you want to point something out that i really did do and if i feel it was wrong i want to apologize but i can't apologize for something i didn't do i didn't call you a dumb head yes you did i was sitting right there and you called me a dumb head i said no ma'am i called you a new creation i called you an heir of god a joint heir with jesus i called you the seed of abraham i called you above and and not below i called you a victor and not a victim i called you a world overcomer i called you the seed again of abraham and i said you have a dumb head there's a difference our problem is not our spirit and this is where i've lost friends over this trying to explain to them and i'm not being mean about this i'm not contentious about it if you want to believe a certain way i'm okay with that but i don't need the word in my spirit i tried it for years i went to a bible school that's all they told us get the word in your spirit get the it's okay i'm trying to get it in my spirit and i don't know i just love jesus and anyway he spoke to me one day thank you jesus that there is nothing in that bible that jesus isn't jesus is the word made flesh jesus is the word with eyeballs and hands jesus is the full complete word of god and christ is in me the hope of glory so the word is already in my spirit that's the good ground where i have problems is in my soul that part of my heart go to john 20. i got just a few minutes go to john 20. and so once i begin to see i've already got in my ground in my spirit and we come at it from different angles but it's the same revelation that that andrew preaches i i never taught it you already got it i taught it you already have it i cleaned the language up a little bit hallelujah that if you have jesus you have all the hidden wisdom and treasures of god that can ever be had so once i saw okay i do have it this is what grace is all about how do i access it through seedtime and harvest how do i draw off of it how do i receive it by believing first of all my ground is not cursed and my ground will never curse me my ground will produce any fruit i need and any need i have god has already in his word provided a seed that will meet that need once you begin to to look at life this way you start really living and walking by faith you understand this relationship and this adventure we're on of seedtime and harvest this excitement of okay i got a problem it's real where's my seed what seed has god given me because everybody in here god's given a seed for every need you have i promise you there's a seed if i can work with you one on one i could show you 100 of the time i've never failed in this with talking to somebody one-on-one i don't have anything no you've got something or i have so little what could this what difference could this make welcome to the little boy's lunch the smallest of seeds if you have faith this as a mustard seed you could speak to mountains and sycamore trees and you could command them to be blown into the sea and they would obey you we don't understand the seed of faith that we have that can be sown into any situ you can mix faith with anything and it become a seed think about that you can mix faith with anything you have clothes you can mix faith with it become a seed sown in one form reaped in another you you can mix faith with your car and sow it and reap in another form everybody has a seed god has been faithful to provide seed for the sowers bread for the eaters and i guarantee you you are minimizing many of you here the power of seed the power of the ground god has made you in jesus and this one revelation is just going to turn things around for you and you're going to serve the lord with joy unspeakable and full of glory reaping a great harvest hallelujah you're reaping a great harvest i believe it jesus has been raised from the dead mary goes to the tomb she sees two angels one at the the head of where jesus was laying and one at the feet his clothes were folded and set on the tomb that's the scripture you use for your children to make their bed that's in the bible she's distraught the angels ask her why she's weeping she thinks someone has stolen the lord look at verse 13. and they said to her woman why are you weeping she said to them the angels because they have taken away my lord and i don't know where they've laid him now when she had said this she turned around and saw jesus standing there and did not know that it was jesus now let think about that she didn't know it was jesus she loved jesus she was friends with jesus jesus had ate in her home and she doesn't recognize him why a seed is sown in one form and reaped in another form she didn't recognize him she saw him standing there did not know it was jesus jesus said unto her woman why are you weeping whom are you seeking now look at this she's supposing him to be a gardener or the gardener said to him sir if you have carried him away tell me where you've laid him and i will take him away then she called him by name then he called her by name because the sheep know his voice and she recognized him by his voice it said it's the master it's the teacher notice that after jesus was raised from the dead she supposed he was a gardener now how can you suppose someone's a gardener if i was to suppose you're a policeman it's probably because you have a uniform on if you didn't have a uniform on i wouldn't suppose you to be a policeman but if you were dressed in a policeman's attire i would suppose you're a policeman if i supposed you were a fireman there'd be a reason you're dressed like a fireman she supposed he was a gardener the first revelation of jesus after the resurrection was that of a gardener adam was the gardener of first creation god put him in a garden to till the land because the ground had everything adam needed and all he had to do was sow seed and he had a seed for every need and we know how that turned out jesus is called the second man the last adam and he's the gardener of the new creation in which he tills the ground of your heart amen i not only am under commandment proverbs chapter 4 verse 23 to keep my heart with all diligence for out of it'll flow the issues of my life that everything's going to come out of my ground so guard it i have a partnership with jesus as the gardener jesus was sown as a carpenter and a carpenter's son he was raised as a gardener and i'm telling you this thing isn't just about the bible now and beating people with the bible and you memorize a few scriptures and you know the word no this is about a partnership with the living word the gardener of your heart and you by free will taking the seed of his word and you now abiding in jesus and his word john 15 7 says and in that partnership jesus is the one that helps you not be ground by the wayside stony ground thorny ground and i didn't even get into all of those issues of the ground i i just ran out of time and it's so hard to minister on this you almost need just for that one passage all three sessions because it's so rich that first ground that was by the wayside that mark didn't explain how the devil gets it matthew in matthew 13 verse 19 he explains when he tells the parable how satan gets the word he said that the devil comes immediately and steals the word because they don't understand it you know every time you get a revelation from jesus by the holy spirit that's the word sown in you exploding to bring forth fruit in your life the devil doesn't want you to understand the thing we've said this week because he'll lock you in ground by the wayside when you get offended i'm telling you if you'll fellowship with jesus in your sufferings his sufferings paul said i want to know him in the power of his resurrection and in the fellowship of his sufferings when you're going through all these hardships if you will just talk to jesus if you'll be real and authentic and talk to him take his word put it in your heart he will guard your heart and he will keep you from being offended at god he will help you not take offense at god when you're going through hardships he will say hey look that's the care of this world cast that care on me i care for you the thorny ground he will say look there's deceit that comes with he's talked to me many a time that as he blesses me personally and as our ministry continues to explode you can't get caught up in the deceitfulness of riches riches are not bad but there's a deceit that comes with riches and jesus the gardener of your heart will teach you how not to lean in on that deceit he'll keep you from being deceived and the deceitfulness that comes with riches and then the lust of other things it's jesus that's drawing you nigh right now well i had a time with the lord this afternoon and i saw so many people getting healed i just saw it praying for you that i believe the lord told me i believe the lord showed me that as i share as i talk about this as i parallel seeds and ground and the kingdom and your heart now that many of you have a seed that's been sown but you need somebody to agree with you you need somebody to water that seed you need somebody to pray with you when people are praying with you over something you're watering seed and i just saw people coming to the altar and they're being such a connect with our altar workers that you need to act you need to mix faith with the seed of by his stripes you're healed you need to act on that you need to believe if i can just get down there and agree with somebody my manifestation of my healing that fruit will come forth because everybody down here is good ground they're partnering with you when they pray for you as good ground this whole meeting is good ground this is the time to believe for your miracle yes but this is a time to learn seed time and harvest and leave here and live a blessed life in partnership with the gardener of the new creation jesus christ and his word is seed being sown in your life daily amen anybody get blessed praise god thank you jesus i'm going to ask the altar workers well i don't want to be out of order what what do we have order that we get i need the altar workers to come i need the worshipers to come i would like the worshipers to minister in worship something that's not real loud so that we can pray and people can hear people praying all of our ushers and altar workers are coming down won't you stand with me for a moment hallelujah father i believe as we agree and we touch people we lay hands on the sick they will recover i thank you for the faith that is being mixed with your word and that we're so in that seed and we're acting in our faith and as these altar workers lay hands on people there will be a connect point there will be a releasing of the anointing in the name of the holy child jesus and that you are stretching forth your hand and signs and wonders are taking place within this house i thank you for it i believe you for it and i thank you for people's faith being encouraged and stirred and that all they need is faith as a mustard seed enough faith to say i am going to be prayed for and i am going to agree and others are going to agree with me for my healing my fruit my harvest to come forth to spring forth in jesus name thank you jesus for gardening our heart thank you for giving us wisdom and understanding illuminating our minds our lives are transformed not by the renewing of our spirit our lives are transformed by the renewing of our minds to the truth the word of god and so i praise you for these things in jesus name
