"Choose Your Destiny" Lee Stoneking BOTT 1989

from Schenectady New York you preachers wait right into your heart he's loved as far as I'm concerned you probably preaching every because the time there is because he's at a ministry ever since this thing started from New York for the least Stoneking open your heart would you clap your hands we've done a lot but would you clap your hands all these people and the Bible says to shout with the voice of style well the Lord is great and he is greatly to be praised do it one more time that sounds tremendous I feel the wonderful touch of the master's hand in this place tonight and because Jesus is here anything can happen anything can happen in the presence of the Lord for he is great he is greatly to be praised I want to read to you tonight from the Book of Isaiah chapter 55 verses 10 and 11 Isaiah chapter 55 verses 10 and 11 the Bible says penned spoken from the brilliant court preacher Isaiah he said for as the rain every one say rain cometh down and the snow from heaven and returneth not siddur but water the earth and maketh it bring forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater so shall my word everyone say word so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth it shall not return unto me void but it shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent here I want to simply entitle this tonight what will my destiny be will you say that to me together with me tonight what will my destiny be there will be a massive healing in this place tonight it will come through the gift of faith and the gifts of healing I feel tonight in view of what is building in the spirit world in this place and the faith that is beginning to lift and rise in this place that we are to one more time with our mouth with our hands clap again on the Vice blessed be the name you may be seated this is the Church of the Living God what we feel in this place is from ancient days what is here tonight transcends human logic and reasoning and understanding what is in this place tonight cannot be explained with human reasoning or logic something is here tonight that transcends all of that this church that we are in tonight was predestinated by God in His divine providential plan it was the divine will of God that there would be a people who would serve Him who would adhere to his name do his statutes do his laws to his concepts and to his precepts we tonight pride ourselves as being in that great and royal and glorious number this church was predestinated by God himself and it's going to be friend of mine whether you and I are a part of it or not it is predestinated somebody somewhere will serve the Lord somebody somewhere will embrace his holy name if somebody somewhere will lift up the torch and preach the hands of us saith the Lord there's going to be a church there is a church in the world tonight it is here the church is predestinated the devil's destination is predestinated I like so much what brother Barnes said he said the first time ever read about him he was falling Lucifer began in the holy mount of God and because of rebellion he was thrown out downward everyone say downward he was thrown out downward and became Prince and power of the air during the Tribulation Period he will be thrown downward again into the earth but during the millennial reign he will be thrown downward again into a bottomless pit and out of that he will come forth and be thrown downward into the lake of fire the devil is on his way down but this church is on its way up this church is on its way up this church shall rise to meet him in the clouds of glory if you believe that if you're a part of that would you clap again and share with your voice a voice of triumph Jesus the church is predestinated the devil's destination is predestinated but the individual has a will of his own men can't somehow mold his own destiny day by day what a man is today is what he thought yesterday what he is tomorrow is what he thought of himself today the Bible says as a man thinketh in his heart so is he friend of mine the thing you give yourself to it's the thing that you will become the thing that you give your attention to is the thing that you will become in the end result you will become like the thing to which you give your time energy and attention as the stream merges into the ocean at last as inevitably as the streams of the countenance through at last by one means or another into the mighty waters of the oceans in the seas of the global world so the thing that you give yourself to is the thing that you become if you give yourself to clownin you will become a clown if you give yourself to intellect you will become intellectually if you give yourself to athletics you will become an athlete if you will give yourself to this man called Jesus if you will follow after him but if you will become like him if you will seek Him you will find here but if it is written ask and you shall receive in seek and ye shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you for every one that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened thus it is written and thus it ears if you will become like him if you seek up to him halleluja halleluja psychologist then and now say that mankind is a product of heredity and environment and I do not believe it I was taught in Bible College that we are a product of heredity and environment and I do not believe it that may be true for the men on the street but hear me tonight if you have a little water in the name of Jesus Christ if you have been filled again with the water of life that can never run dry namely the sept ism of the holy ghost speaking with tongues your past is God there is a new man walking in your shoes it is something again I reiterate to you that transcends human logic and reasoning understanding I have been born again I have been born again old things are passed away behold all things that they have become new you can break anything you can break a heredity factor you can change the mentality you can change your personality you can change anything I don't care where you it cannot touch you if you hold out to your born-again experience go ahead and shout if there is something Mikey in revelation and understanding and this place tonight you yeah the psychologist of Jesus day believed exactly what they believed in our day he was a Nazarene when the news of his miracle spread forth of the land the Pharisees and the Sadducees knowing the ill reputation of Nazareth said can any good thing come of Nazareth they curled up their lips and their noses and because of his environment they gave him no credence and they gave him no place let me tell you something here tonight my father best the memory of him he was an alcoholic until the last few years of his life if I believed what psychologists teach and adhere to then I would have been an alcoholic also because I was raised in that environment of it but I said I will not be an alcoholic I will not be an alcoholic I don't care tonight where you come from Jesus came from Nazareth of it but his environment he did not touch him his environment it did not affect him the heroes about theater and friends of mine if you have been born again of the water and the spirit it does not matter who your father was it doesn't matter who your mother was it doesn't matter how many Rascals are in your heredity line it does not matter I have been born again I have been born again Misha you heard last night you heard the painful synoptic description of a life that was lived in this world in the streets of New York City by Jeff Arnold the elite of our society would have taken one look at him years ago and said he's a reject he'll never amount to anything and a minor there is there is a way to shape your own destiny is a way to shape your own destiny you're not just a thug walking on the streets of it but you are a son of the Most High God that he changed it is a likeness and in his initially was a noble spirit but a noble spirit but a noble spirit that is at a station that is at a station that the gospel is true and the gospel is true if what men cannot do if there is a God that says try me try me try me and God is speaking to a lot of you here tonight he is speaking to a lot of people here tonight if it have been bogged down because your daddy it was not James Kilgore and your daddy was not geralt manganate let me tell you something when you got the baptism of the holy ghost speaking with tongues up here you go over heritage that you're ever going to need in this present world if you have spoken with cons if you've got all the heritage a fee that you're ever gonna need in this present world you got a bag that you need it I break those chains I break that bondage in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth because you're really somebody if you are really somebody if you are really somebody if you're really somebody if you get a child of the King if you get a prince if you get a princess here you're going to reign forever with him someday if you go to reign with him forever someday you you may be seated I had a distant distant distant distant cousin one of those kinds nobody nobody wanted to know much about nobody wanted to be involved with him I never did meet the man but I heard about him all the years I was growing up from both my father's side of the house and my mother started the house there came a day and there always does you know there came a day when the wretched lifestyle that he lived somehow took its toll upon his physical stature and he was placed in a hospital and he was dying somehow my mother who was a saint of the Most High God he she heard that he was in the local hospital had not seen him for years my mother went to the hospital and they told her they said he will be dead before dawn he will not live through the night this fresco who had done everything in the book unmentionable things he had done everything that this human body can do as far as I can remember from the stories that were told my mother went to him in the late afternoon and she sat down in a chair pulled it up beside his bed where he lie there in extreme weakness of and her mother witness to him about the baptism of the Holy Ghost and she said I can't give it to you and I can't do more than what I'm doing she said but in order to get it I know there sir you've got to repent you've got to genuinely repent you must repent of everything and after about an hour she left him and the story went on like this when my mother left the hospital as the long shades of night began to come through the window and the Sun began to sink in the West with what strength this dying man and he called out of the hospital bed and knelt down beside the bed Hema the nurses came in they told us later they said we could hear him talking to God he had gone back to his childhood and he had told God everything he had ever done it took him hours and hours and hours nine o'clock came and he was still there they came and went to check on him but he would not get up from the floor of the hospital room and Kanaka came 11 o'clock came midnight came and he was weeping now and telling God that he was sorry for all of these things that he had done finally in the wee hours of the morning he crawled back up into the bed and the nurses story said this she said when we went in to check on him he was lying on his back with his hands raised to the ceiling and he was talking in all of these languages we could not understand he said he was talking in languages we'd never heard before she said we stood there and watched him when he breathed his last breath if the hand smells of the bed and the last words we heard were words that we could not understand he that man on the on the weight of a simple testimony he changed the course of his destiny he changed the course of his destiny and you can change the course of your destiny here tonight it's up to you but friend of mine you've got to reach this position you've got to decide somewhere in your life how much of God you want and how much of yourself that you are willing to give time and time again God said he would destroy Israel but he repented over and over he repented he ever made man and then he found Noah and he became thrilled again with his creation God said in 40 days Nineveh will be destroyed hey Jonah the Prophet had boda declared such a thing and Jonah wanted that he was more concerned about his position and what the people would think about his prophecy he would have let them burn but when God saw the king of Nineveh he crawled off his throne bringing even the dogs and the cats in sackcloth and ashes it is God whose presence we feel in this place tonight he repented of the evil that he had taught to do em he God became so Baxter with those Hebrew children that he spoke to Moses face to face as a man talks to his friend and he said Moses of it I'm gonna wipe him out in his heart of hearts this God did not really want to wipe them out so what did he do you know what he went to Moses because he knew that Moses would talk him out of it today and he wanted to be talked out of it he wanted to be talked out of it and Moses did talk him out of it and God backed off I'm telling you here tonight if Moses could change the heart of God he was a man of like passions as I've increased in this conference of if he could do it we can do it if he could do it we can do it if he can do it we can do it I have read the story of just ha Josiah a child king hear me tonight people hear the wrath of God have fallen the curse of God had fallen away the prophecies of doom had been uttered away from the voices of prophets and God said I will destroy all the house of Israel but Josiah a child King heard the word of the Lord read and when he did he read not only his garments but also his heart and when God started to hate God Josiah come here come here I want to tell you a failure I want to tell you a thing my curse will get fall but not in your lifetime hey not in your lifetime not until you have been gathered together heir to your father's and Josiah there for the sake of your repentance okay for the sake of your cry I will withhold it in your lifetime your children will be raised in my house so to speak things will go on in glory and honor when you're gone Josiah and I will bring it to pass and God held his word in the living room of my own apartment one day looking at the peril of this prison tower and world I said God and I began to weep and cry I said if you heard is the voice of Josiah you are obligated to hear my voice do something for America hey god bless america hey give us a revival from shore to shore and from border to border with all the wrath of our children be raised in freedom not under communism not under the hammer and the sickle people as far as I am concerned there is no hope for that revival his revival is the answer to everything revival is the answer to everything as the answer to everything this fully ghost is the answer to demonology and cough ism up this holy ghost is the answer into the ills of this world because it is written the something greater is he that is within you that he that is in the world everybody shout great huh again again lap house to the Lord Jesus is this the philosopher Libra ha ha David King David he the shepherd boy the harpist the singer God broke his own lives to save David prophets had to credit it had been and the law had been executed many times over when Nathan the Prophet walked into the presence of the king and when he pointed the finger at David and said David thou art the man David began to slip from the throne and as he slept he took the crown from his head and he lowered himself to the floor with the gone of agony isn't only a penitent soul you can know and God himself had stepped out from behind the law and pushed the law behind him and came into that throne room of an earthly king he had stooped over his shepherd boy and with arms of compassion he unfolded this weeping King and whispered in his ear he broke his own laws David if you friend of mine can indeed shape your own destiny you can shape your own destiny you can mold your own destiny here tonight for the rest of your entire life it does not matter who says what it does not matter where you came from I reiterate it does not matter about your background please hear me tonight it's not how you begin in this that counts it's not what happens in between it's how you end index that counts it's how you end in this headcount sir Thompson went down but when he went down to Haiti slump or his death is that in his life his end was glorious and he's among the faithful David the biggest body was not left under a pile of stones get broken bleeding body because he could God and the nature is that God has and here's some of you are here tonight I have spotted a number of you in this congregation I had watched many of you from the night this thing opened some of you will be mightily used by God before this whole thing is over for this reason I say it nobody nobody can keep you from getting all over God that you want nobody can stop you from praying all night tonight nobody can stop you from speaking with tongues until the

bed and walks home with his feet how do you fight somebody that walks up to the tomb of a friend has been dead for four days and the bodies begin to stink here this man called Jesus says Lazarus it's a good thing folks he named him because the Peter just said come forth there's a whole resurrection he woulda come for a ting out of that room and burns up because if this Jesus you see he was the resurrection and he was the life and he still is he still here so he can raise the dead he can cause the lame to walk too blind to see the Deaf to hear Oh how do you fight somebody is that doesn't

25 years UPC I've been in this for 25 years eight years ago under JT Pew we had endtime revival and in the whole missionary areas where I was in New York State nobody knew we existed nobody knew that we were there nobody seemed to care and here we were and but the pew came and would teach us and lift us up and there was a real stir in those days brother killed oh I remember you remember but we got sidetracked away with some miserable issues had the revival died we are now walking through the threshold we're not honourable walking through it we are walking through a threshold into the realm of the supernatural for the house we are walking through the threshold of the greatest for first shaking revival this world has ever known now here's the good news I've heard a lot of tongues and interpretations I've had a lot of prophecies in 25 years and so have you and most all of them I have forgotten but about 1215 years ago in the home of some people who feared God we were having dinner dinner one night coming after talking about Jesus you know what happens when you talk about him he comes he comes and as he came into that dining room we had roast beef and brown gravy and mashed potatoes and green beans and corn I can remember when I'm hungry and we have stuck it on but the Spirit of God came around that table and we got to any bigger we got to we Pia and when we got the kind sheezus made a statement and said I have meat eight is that you know not uh I know more about that since I've lived in this for 25 years we pushed our chairs back from the table and we got down and began to weep and to cry around that table half of the food got cold but we could not have cared laughs it's something he had ahold of us it's something had ahold of us out of that it was a message in tongues and there was an interpretation and I forgotten a lot of interpretations of it but this one I have never forgotten and I never will God spoke and he said I am sending the chariot of revival into the earth and he said nothing or no one will stop this chariot of revival he said because the wheels of this chariot had been oiled with the oil of the Holy Ghost and he said this chariot of his moving through the land I began to sob and cry I began to sob and cry even as best as I knew how if I climbed into the chariot or said Jesus or whatever you do don't ever let me be shaken out of this chariot no matter how rough the ride gets it helped me to hang in help me to hang on he'll never let me get knocked out of the stand don't ever let me get loose from this area I'm going to ride this chariot that's what's happening friend I've come tonight to tell you this nobody or nothing or no one is ever going to stop this move of God that's begun now no one's ever going to stop what's going
