Dan Mohler - Kingsway Church 2015 (PART FOUR)

having fun being here with you guys and the fun don't be afraid to let it be fun you live in grace if it's fun and you won't miss the mark or the point okay it's not that I don't have anything to say hey I just want to be right you know you preach all day and it would be good okay let's do this let's try to read second Corinthians let's go to verse 14 guys our lives are so important to God in the kingdom of God if your life wasn't important Jesus when shed his precious Play I realize we have challenges we have situations some of us go through seasons of symptoms in our body and things and stuff and it can all try to get blurry and foggy and fuzzy but the truth is what you have the God giving created value ability to express and manifest to the hearts of man is priceless to God he thinks it's worth the blood of his son he thinks the death of his son is worth us coming alive in him man don't sell that cheap and don't sell that short it's not presumptious that's not heresy is just a plain and simple truth of the gospel you don't pray pay such a high price for something that's worth nothing to God were worth something in him and your life your individual life listen you go into Walmart you got barcodes and you got price checks and you got scanners because you have things on on shelves of all different values so you have a multiplicity of price tags on products in the store of humanity every single human being wears the same price tag because every single human being is worth the same to God there's no one worth more there's no one worth less every mountains brought down every valleys lifted up we are on the same playing field of purpose and destiny we all matter to the big plan and big picture of God follow me life itself and the way it pans out and all the lives we encounter and all the things through the way desperately from the time you can remember is trying to talk you out of that trying to make you prove that that you're worth something and and feel like you're not and striving gets insecure and self-conscious and esteem issues and all the sudden you're doing things to draw attention or you're doing things to prove a point and it just gets weird it's all found through Jesus it's all thought when we become this love up and crying out for the last couple services fear a man self-consciousness what people think and all that stuff it's not even in the picture it's just not there when you know who you become and why listen I feel this in my heart very strongly you it almost feels like a Sunday morning the thing that comes on me sometimes on a Sunday morning but it's Saturday not it's good you're in my life matters so much to God in the kingdom of God every one of us is a part a precious part this is not hype if you hear this wrong you'll hear it wrong I have no need to hype you I'm too much of a man of God to do that I'm not going to do that I'd it's zero to me I'm not here to impress you with words the gospel has taught me that every person in this room is so valuable and precious to the big picture plan everyone matters that is not hype it's the truth or blood would have been shed for you and not just blood the blood of the Son of God so that you could be qualified and equipped to fulfill what you're here for you matter so much everyone in this room has a sphere of influence the people you come across touch pass by encounter that you work with that are in your family every single person has a sphere of influence and the sphere of influence has some of the same faces in it when we're in a hometown but it has so many different and when you add up all the spheres of influence it's a community it's God's plan infusing us with who he is who he is touches them and they encounter him through our lives because we're surrendered and we've become loved we're not trying to be evangelistic our lives just minister speak out and reach out we're not trying to be evangelistic all the time guys our life's evangelistic because love is love cares love gets involved love place this love love is the Samaritan that stops for a man he doesn't know who's laying along the road may be dying and gives up what is his for the sake of that man and he doesn't know him they tested Jesus who was our neighbor because they asked him the greatest commandment he said the greatest commandment love God with everything you are but the seconds liked it he married the two the seconds liked it love your neighbor as yourself well who is our neighbor he says there was a man traveling the thieves jumped him and beat him robbed he left him along the road beaten the priest didn't even walk by him the priest didn't leave itis the pastor in the worship leader no offense Jason and Jeffrey there's a message there the priest in the Levi passed by him the Samaritan who was a pretty much cut off call it what you want nation you know I don't like even speaking that stuff but it's what they were they they they they were looked down on as dogs in that culture they were cut off they weren't they didn't associate the woman at the well was amazed Jesus how are you asking me for a drink you being a Jew and me a Samaritan that's how they looked at those folks but the priest and the Levite walked by the man and guess who stopped the Samaritan there's so much message in all that that's not even the point right now here's the point who's my neighbor that was the question which Jesus story reveal the man you see in need you're walking right by him it says if we have the ability to help and all we say is be warm and have peace and don't give them some food in their belly and what they need to keep warm how is how possibly is the love of God in us come on that's not mean that's just sober that's just awesome I probably told the story the last time I was here about Billy and you probably heard that on the internet somewhere because it's affects folks and it's it's not that you start a homeless ministry it's sometimes we get trapped making everything a ministry and little usually if you loose the edge in the heart of the love of God sometimes when you have to make everything a ministry everything doesn't have to be a certified ministry with a card come on that the world that it actually reduces our effectiveness in the eyes of the world because now you're only doing what you're doing because you're a ministry not a lover now you're on them all praying for the sick and it's just a church group in here doing what they do to make them feel better about what they say they are and if they don't see the manifestation that healing and the third person prayed for them as they're limping through the mall cos now her target they're the lame gazelle and heard and they've never been prayed for in their life by anyone in public and all of a sudden three people hit him before they get through them all in their mind a church group has just invaded them all and it loses the personal thing of just you as a shopper just you pass them by and caring as soon as they associate you with a group the impact of love is lost your ministry we got understand some of this stuff because we think we're doing right during all this organized stuff intentional stuff it's so much more powerful when it's just who you are I'm not saying it's wrong there's a place to learn and train equip people to go with you and stuff be careful man that it's not just about ministry and you manifesting and you getting a word and hard to teach this stuff because we've been so trained that it's right I'm not trying to bust things up and challenge and correct and adjust all the time I'm saying man there's a sharp edge to the love of God that's full of impact and people can't get around when Jesus sticks on novices ear there's no way out of that he's on the wrong side of the line Jesus didn't tell him that he just healed him come on it's what we do man we pick up Malka says ear and and we hate it we know he has a need and we say hey pal running on the wrong side of the line here huh man's gonna reap what he's selling bad company corrupts good morals friend you know maybe it's high time you cross the line pal maybe it's time you come to God maybe perhaps God would restore a few things in your life when you minister to people like that what you're teaching them is to come to God for what he can do for them instead of come to God for the beauty of who he is Jesus didn't teach us to evangelize that way he just fixed a man and didn't say a word and walked away and got beaten and guilt he didn't even tell the guy to cross lines he just sewed the most vital seat of malkos his life trusted the work of God to change his life that impressed this me what do you do if you're mauka he got blood all over your shirt in your ears fine people who like dude what happened you are you okay well the disciple of that man cut off my ear what do you talk about jiggers not cut yeah I know that guy we're killing he fixed it he what he fixed it look you don't have to believe me I'm convinced in my heart we will see malkinson everlasting life there's no question you can't run from that kind of love the goodness of God leads men to repent it's not the reprimand of the Lord the goodness of God be very careful with that huffy snappy thing I hear in the church a lot well you can't just preach to the love of God there's a judgment of God yeah and I'm glad you're not God because I can hear it in your voice it's not the reprimand of God that leads men to repentance it's the goodness of God when God takes something that you know you deserve that you know you earned and he removes it from you they'll change your life forever you say well maybe not I mean I know people that distant that listen it'll put forever conviction you can't get around it it will come to you it'll keep coming to you I believe it'll track you down and arrest you at some point I'm convinced malthus's is in the presence of Jesus I'm convinced that when he raised from the dead and they all heard that he was raised from the dead and he was preached he was like guys I think I've been in since the day my ear got healed I'm just ready to be official now what must I do to be saved because this guy wrecked me when you put my ear Oh imagine that Peter tries to defend Jesus and it would make a good movie in the natural it looks like he's a good buddy he's trying to protect Jesus and you think he'd be like wow thanks Peter come on get a little lower the next a little lower the throats lower you know no he says Boehner what are you doing put away your sword him I'm not going to drink the cup the Peter you live by the sword you're gonna die by the sword what's he saying man you've been with me for how long now why are you still fighting like them it's not how I fight while he's doing that to Peter it tells you with me to love our enemies and then shows us what it looks like yeah he did not come just to preach to you he came to live the word it became flesh he modeled the word he lived a life in God God I'm just pumped I want to read second Corinthians somehow I never get there where I go yeah I don't know why we're going to go there now a lot of people have this stuff on the refrigerator and that's good that's fine then let's get what it really means because verse 14 says a 2nd Corinthians chapter 2 now thanks be to God thanks be to God who what always leads us in triumph in Christ I'm gonna stop there for a minute just make this comment when we read something like that right off the bat what we think is he always puts out the fire we're never going to get laid off you're never going to have a car wreck and he's always going to vindicate you in every situation through every unfairness everything da-da-da-da-da he's not saying that he's saying now thanks be to God see it's always fascinated me how we can get like laid off just use that for an example we get laid off on our job it becomes our prayer topic top of the prayer list wrecks our disposition puts us in despair because we have bills and we're wondering why this happened to me and we're on prayer change it's the normal response when we face something like that and I've never understood why it's not normal to thank God that you're in covenant when they hand you the paper and that as quickly as the door closed 100 open because He loves us and he's for us and I just appreciate covenant God what would I do without covenant I'd probably be a wreck god I so crazy then you go home and you tell your wife you just got laid off and she goes wet and you say yeah but hey honey you know she said yeah or she would already be on page with you wouldn't that be beautiful why do I have to become the saga of our lives to water you guys with me or is this too brutal c'mon man you're in Christ when they head to the lay off paper how are you any less in covenant with God any less having favor with God any less right with God than before you handed the paper why does the layoffs define us why are we all the sudden a person in a problem instead of continuing to a person in covenant why does sickness do that to us why does a spouse living out of order do that to us why is a friend that did the unthinkable do that to us I think it's to sober us and get us to realize man it's time to really get to know him and find out who we are in him so nothing ever moves us or shakes us again see to me it would be just totally normal to get laid off and be unexpected it and go wow I didn't see this coming of course it's real of course you've got a budget of course you've got bills I get that but freaking out and call them the prayer chain is losing your disposition and wearing and being at the gas pump and running into Billy Emily says hey bud how you doing man I do it keep me in prayer dude listen I'm glad I met you this is God man call so and so so I just got laid up I don't know how we're gonna make it I can't believe I don't even know how I got laid [Music] come on that's normal that's normal church stuff every day that stuff happens in the body of Christ and people hear it and go WOW you what then I'm gonna do them cold with prayin man chin up gotta get you through and it's all the right language from all the wrong places then we're Iraq until we get a new job and have money in her hands and we're so self consumed than with the Crushers we walk by every situation around us every person we don't see anything but what we're in the middle of I hope you all right with this because this is really sharp right now are your cares is too brutal no come on I just want to get real I don't ever want to stand before him and found that we did church then I want to know that we were the church and it mattered we know not well we got all this revelation wow they just gave me a word well that's awesome they're moving and annoying go get a word from them whoo and then you get laid off in you're a wreck and a basket case for two months but boy you got a lot of words I don't know why I'm here to work brutal but I hope this engine brutal are you okay are you okay I kind of thought he was come on man this stuff isn't all you're getting get understanding there's a family session this is this is living room stuff this is family cats this is let's get real let's get real with our hearts let's get real with our lives let's get real with Jesus let's stop letting all these things have such a voice such a place in our lives look now here's why I know this isn't meaning he just makes sure that you bails you out of every circumstance you understand you understand this guy he preaches a lot of the Old Testament stuff and flips it to the light of the new I like it so I know he's preached on this is probably a lot but you know I use it a lot because it's just extraordinary to me you got Shadrach Meshach Abednego you got Nebuchadnezzar you got a guy trying to get people to worship Him and and as her statue and just yeah and then everybody's gonna bow at the sound of the timro excetera are gonna bow and worship and these guys are like huh King finds out where it comes to King he says hey it's come to me that you're not going back he said listen if you don't bow you're going into the fire well what is your fire to us who King we don't even need to answer you in the matter it wasn't about the fire it wasn't about them dying they weren't even thinking that they might die for what they were doing they just knew they weren't doing it because he wasn't Lord this is Old Covenant without the Holy Ghost baptism without the blood of Jesus in all the scripture we have in front of us this is just the integrity of three men that believes the Lord come on and they got thrown in the fire you guys know that come on but it wasn't just the fire the King was so enraged by their response he was so infuriated that in his haste he he said make it seven times hotter why because when you get diagnosed with cancer Satan's used to us calling prayer chains he's used to us calling on our friends he's used to us praying he's not surprised that we're praying most people when they're faced with crises pray even if they don't believe in God because it might work he's not at us that you're praying he's impressed that when they take the other test and your count just raised up and you don't change because you didn't pray a women of Prayer in a desperation and you're not believing anything but the gospel and your prayers aren't contingent on numbers and tests and how you feel it's contingent on his unfailing love and you ain't moving because you're on the rock come on we haven't lived this thing we've been driven by things and we've prayed all the right stuff and if we're not careful we'll reduce this book to a book of principles we're trying to apply to get a help instead of an introduction into relationship intimacy and love we're faithful Oh strong fear is never to be the motivation of faith you have no authority over what you're fearing zero authority over what you fear you can yell at it all day in the name of Jesus it's called using the name of the Lord in vain means without power and effect you can get religious with the Gospel Church and you can just pray in despair you can pray because of the fear of death so everybody surrounds you and prays and the most annoying person you know in your life lays hands on you and you still feel sick you have to be very careful that you don't let that get into your heart your head and change what you believe because here's what the devil's used to this is why I never can answer did this unconvinced look the first fire would have killed him anyway so what's the big deal if you go into one seven times hotter it might be mercy you die quicker the first fire might have been a slower burn the second fire was so intense that his own men when they opened the door got consumed he got burned and died as they three boys got pushed in and fell in it's fascinating to me the king enraged had a fire so hot that when his servants opened the door the fire consumed the servants yeah they were probably worshipping the wrong thing the guys end up in the fire and somebody looks in and says hey didn't we just put three men in there he says yeah I said well there's a fourth one in there if you watch VeggieTales it's cool he says yes boss there's four in there and the fourth one is really shiny I'm so messed up by Jesus I cannot watch that on VeggieTales and not cry when the light shoots down into that furnace and all the light comes out of the I just sit there involved Jesus in the fire my granddaughters look at me I'll sit over watching VeggieTales and that little round dude is like in the big pickle you know and he's like boss [Music] didn't we throw three so you he says well boss there's four men in there and the fourth one is really shiny this is Shaq rat Benny come out of there they come out here's my point yeah what's the point we're working on that I'll figure it out stop you're not helping to stop no one is helping right now thank you Jesus I'll get help you don't have to help me if you don't want to stop that's not good stop him he's your husband stop them there's a point when Jesus went into the fire he didn't put it out he didn't change a thing about the problem he made sure there was unbound they were loosed in the middle of the problem he didn't put out the fire why he's Lord over it it's not a threat to him or those that believe in him the fire is not your problem becoming a Productivity of it is the biggest problem the trouble you're in the thing you're facing the sickness that's trying to encroach your body the financial thing that's trying to come that that is not the problem failure to see it through covenant and see it in Christ and refusing to bow and worship that thing it's the problem Jesus didn't put out the fire he didn't bring a whole myriad of angels and dumped holy water on the fire he just stood right in the middle of it and let it burn and his kids stood right there with him unfazed and untouched and when they came out the Christian resume is you have no idea what they just went through except you can see they're full of passion and their hearts are burning come on I ask people do you see passion to me there huh yeah a little bit I say it's because of fire it's because of trials it's because of the things that we try to avoid and pray that never happened to us there's things I wouldn't trade in for anything there's things that the devil's come with the attempt to break you and all he's done is help to make you because you won't look anywhere but him and your faith gets so approved and so tested and I I feel like in my spirit I can't prove it Scripture but I feel like the Lord just comes and stamps your forehead approved and Satan can't take that foolishness and throw you in it again there's some things he tried to throw me in that God had delivered me through that I didn't change didn't blink and I didn't take it personal and never missed a beat and I believe if he would come and try to do that same to me God behind with now even me knowing it would just thump him and knock him across the room and say you ain't touching my boy already been there he's approved he's not your pin cushion he's not your plate toy he's my son I have that in me man so I ain't looking over my shoulder I'm not leaving your church convoy that was really good brought the word man I wonder what's coming now higher levels bigger Devils what are we talking about yeah yeah higher levels greater revelation and understanding more authority and fearlessness not cockiness fearlessness I'm not being arrogant when I'm talking like this we need to get a revelation of God in a revelation of our enemy and understand these are cut off within grants coming to nothing I won't preach that he's a lion without teeth he's been a bunch of folks he seeks whom he may devour and were destroyed for the lack of knowledge but I'm telling you we have defeated him in Christ when we keep our eyes on Jesus he can't just come up to me right now and run me over like a truck and take me out it ain't happening I'm standing here preaching to you I am totally in Christ he ain't just coming and hammering me I'm just telling you it ain't happening you say Dan that freaks me out that's arrogant it's not ever gonna know what I'm talking about he's poked at my life a few times witchcraft came trying to wreck me a few times in my body I had good men men that love God good men that have understanding and wisdom that got caught up in their love for me and saw what I was going through and got sentimental almost making mistakes trying to pull me into their mistake they're saying yeah but then asking all these analytical questions he it's righteous the evil one touches him not me Cedric said oh we know your life like like like like it's so good and we know if there's anybody this and that and they're putting me on some kind of righteous pedestal like this shouldn't be happening to you and they're saying oh if all this is true then why is the enemy touching you and here's what the Holy Ghost had me say in a flash I said maybe one of you need to look in my eyes and tell me if he's touching me you're looking at the wrong place you're looking at my leg why don't you look here and tell me if he's too because if I look at my legs sooner or later he's in here and then he's got me if he can't get here he'll never get my leg so take a good look and tell me if he's touching me and they went a few passengers sedan you got to get real with all this you need help and I said what are you talking about guys and they said well look at your leg I said there's not one of you sitting here that would preach that from the pulpit on Sunday you will stand there mighty and powerful and get the drums beating behind you how you never look at what you can see both of June and God and amen and you'll put an a on everything and it'll feel more anointed and the church in the emotion of the moment will yeah and now in a closed-door room because you're sentimental and empathetic and afraid for me you're telling me to do what you'd never preached see that's the problem you take me into children's church to teach me all these crazy crazy wild Bible stories and then when I'm older and need to believe them and apply them you tell me to use wisdom and I'm saying who's your fear or his will I'm not being mean right now there's ways I live I forbid to preach from the pulpit cuz people will try it because I did it and then you won't do it because of a revelation you'll do it because it worked for me and you'll reduce it to a method and it did great not good will come out of that I don't even preach how I live from the pulpit I would get letters people would say brother you need to this and you need to that what are you saying about this and it would create because we hear unfortunately an ear of condemnation compare ourselves among ourselves and it's not wise there's ways I live that I see and I told I told my pastor friends listen man it's not even about me living her diet maybe you need to get this is I don't have anything to prove I believe what I preach I'm gonna stand my ground it's demonic I don't need 9-1-1 it's it's an evil spirit it's witchcraft I don't need a prescription I've got the kingdom I've got the finished work of Christ so run with me stand in faith with me or choose not to I don't know where else to go he'll be fine I've already won you get it and that thing came to me three times in three different forms why because that's usually an opportunity because we say here we go again and when's this going to stop and we grow weary in well-doing and we take the second one maybe personal and it was so intense that when the third one hits we're overwhelmed and psychology kicks in and we say I can't take any more come on I'm just talking plain you I don't even know what I'm doing right now why where I'm at I hope somebody's hearing something is any of this making any sense or is it just freaking you out it's not freaking anybody out okay listen he always leads us in triumph what's that mean he's the way the truth in life he has so changed our perspective he shows us how to fight he shows us the weapons of our warfare he shows us how to live sanctified and not submit to fear he shows us a reason for being and in that truth he always leads us to triumph and through that diffuses the fragrance of his knowledge everywhere you see what he's into he's not into stopping your circumstance so that you feel better he's into revealing who he is through that thing and if it's trying to come and break you it's running a risk to making you because you're a believer so if you submit to God you've resisted the devil he'll flee and he hangs around any longer he's just going to give me greater revelation and all of a sudden out having me what I wouldn't have if he didn't touch me how do you defeat that kind of wisdom just talk people into unbelief that's your only hope come on how do you defeat this kind of wisdom there's no way then I believe you'd see some of the passions you see in me and the intensity and the stuff I'm feeling right now if I didn't have that history in God and we think that's a bad day nothing's changed when my leg doesn't what Jesus is Lord for the 11 days I'd rubbed it around and everybody asked me a million questions and poured four bottles of oil on me Jesus was the same my legs should never ever ever be given the right to discern truth he's truth my legs should never be given the right to define who God is who God is should always be given the right to define my leg you following me when you have no authority over what you fear I love us a freaked out there's a paranormal thing out there there's people wigged out and weirded out by I mean I always hear this thing about what the Walking Dead and there's a vampire movement there or a year ago or so it's just stuff man and people are spooky there's paranormal stuff now in secular TV and it attracts people there's Christians that delve into stuff and study things out cuz they're intrigued by it you know I've said this for years I say why would an evil spirit come out of the grass of hiding and manifesting gobu because the people he's going boo to go ah and he enjoys that come on how fun was it to you growing up hiding and jumping out and scaring somebody for some reason it was just the best moment of the day come on the reaction was priceless yeah the reaction was placing everything what well what's the same with the devil here we are walking with the kingdom of God the anointing a circumstances rising up and we go I don't know how I got on this topic it's too big of a topic to really touch heavy but I just want to encourage you in something the devil's are cut off withering branch coming to nothing Nina loves the stage because he has no identity he is so insecure he it's so crushed for all time that when you put him on a stage he gets a false sense of identity he gets a high off of it I believe it's feeds him in a weird way he loves to perform I totally ignored him in my life unless he gets right in front of me and then you're gonna have to move you follow me there's two things I never think about in my life it's sin in the devil I think about Jesus Redemption righteousness forgiveness Holy Ghost in the spirit of god not Devils listen I've had a lot of experiences in my life I'm talked about a lot but when you minister in your pastor and you're open for those things the spirit to get thrown in to all kind of stuff you know yeah seeing people levitate yes all things moving in a room yeah Saul crib toys hovering in a crib over a baby you know what we do when them things are hovering or that's what we do and that thing goes got him now and that just does something else to impress you I was in the house and a flashlight moved across the kitchen from one counter to another and Alesi see i said stop stop took the flashlight and said it's an evil spirit honey he just walked from here to there you can't see him you can see me I picked the light up and went that's all that just happened why are you so impressed newsflash Devils are real they're jerks and he's winning your attention why are you impressed with a flashlight moving across your kitchen and she went huh and guess what it doesn't move across the kitchen anymore come on guys crib toys hovering in the air in the baby's crib well that freaks us out we want to write books about that stuff we want to come up with ministry methods and what this is from and the spirit of this and that and you give it so much honor you empowered it you infuse it it's a stupid magic trick it's Devil's trying to get your attention and get your eyes diverted from the king of glory mama understand it's your baby I understand your concern to understand this isn't normal in everyday life it's the devil sweetheart there's no power over you or your family the believing Y sanctifies even the unbelieving husband so the children aren't unclean you're in covenant honey everything's fine stop being impressed with this or more things will happen it's the stupid magic trick it's cut off branch coming to nothing all the toys go to the Caribbean lay there no bummer I'm just not impressed with that I'm impressed with Jesus raising from the dead I'm impressed with an innocent man hanging and becoming sin so that I could be filled with his courage his love his life his spirit I'm impressed with that not a toy hovering in the air I'm impressed with Jesus yeah he'll take the fear out of your life you realize we're friends he's hitting me and I'm in him oh yay no matter what happens I can't lose I'm in I've won I've already won he's raised from the dead and this is eternal life that I might know him I'm one with the eternal one that never dies of course I'll live forever everlasting life is in some outside caret and benefit it's called oneness with eternity you're one with the eternal one to never be separated again through his blood of course you'll live forever it's the way it was from the beginning the day you eat the trees of the day you surely die why because there was no death in him and no death in the picture when man sinned death entered the earth and because all sinned all died well guess what I'll never be judged for sin i'll be judged for righteousness I'll never die settled I've all ready why well that sort takes care of fear well again we've just done a search through your body and you have this and that and you don't have long to live are you kidding me you're misled pal look I understand we have children and grandchildren and nobody's ready to go and let go a loved one but we've got to stop letting death be the motivation for healing yes you overcome by not loving your own life unto death it's not ever death that's their motivation it's not sentiment it's not I want to watch my grandkids grow up that sounds rosy it makes sense to all of us we all get it that's not what releases the kingdom of God or releases the kingdom of God is faith through Jesus Christ that works through love it's all about longevity fulfilling the will of God and making his great name now I'm not praying because of the fear of death I'm praying because of the promise of life that's not a play on words that's too extreme different avenues are you guys with me man I don't even know what I'm doing tonight I am like just joining it here I'm touching a lot of different things are you okay yeah at least somebody is okay I mean I'm so nervous right now that when I asked if you were freaked out I would have even if somebody raised their hand and said yeah at least three or four said I'm okay that would have actually trumped you out of bed come on thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ that doesn't mean you'll never have a trial or a circumstance it means you always have an answer and always have a way out you know the Lord told me a long time ago I had a revelation of his love in the bedroom and shortly after that he came to me in prayer and I was praying and he said Dan I'm like yeah and I was worshiping and I always would play the CD on repeat my song when I first got saved haven't listened to it for a long time probably cuz I just sit and ball anyway because it's just reminiscing and memory stone stuff and but it's just Jesus friend forever and that song really ramps up man and they tear it up on that CD I got what a friend I found right you know that song where did you play that song no way do you know it Joe someday just mess me up like later tonight or tomorrow morning okay this mess Mia I'm just putting in my request you play that song because I'd lock myself I'd shut myself in the bedroom and you didn't know where I was I didn't do it to be in front of you I didn't do it for people to say you're also I found a friend forever there's no way you could preach this stuff without loosing it becoming a basket case without grace man I fallen inside it's ridiculous I was alone right now it's over I feel it I found a friend forever now just get alone and I would pray and I would sing and I would worship and I would cry and Spirit of God would come upon me and touched me and minister to me and changed me in that place it was amazing and I'm in the middle of that place Jason and the Lord comes into the bedroom in a manifested way he says Dan I don't ever want you to live Crossroads Christianity and I said Crossroads Christianity I've never heard that sermon I didn't even know what he meant it no idea what he said Crossroads Christianity he said to where there's a fork in the road Dan he said so many people live face the moment stop look and listen and apply the last word they heard on the topic and they're away late he said I want you to become the word that's become flesh where there's no fork in the road there's just faith working through love and a manifestation of me in the moment he said seek it and I'll make it your reality believe it's possible and I'll make it you I've had so many opportunities to be surprised caught off-guard and respond like a man and don't know how to and it's not my fault and could never take credit people give you credit they think you're some kind of super Christian I will not get an award for super Christian I will be known as a believer and that settles everything if I'm known for eternity as a man that belief called chasing everything's where it needs to be it's no super Christian there's an amazing God in our faith is in him Crossroads Christianity I don't want the metal of the car crashing down and you're sitting behind the airbag saying okay I'm a Christian I need to represent God I need to okay I can't be angry I shouldn't be stressed okay I need to show you well God hey everybody that's weird and shallow don't even try it you will misrepresent him horribly just get out and be the best you in the moment in Christ don't try to do that stuff don't try to apply the word and okay what's the lesson less seats pastor Jason preached on this topic okay I'm not supposed to be mad not supposed to be mad itself you're not supposed to be hey hi how are you that is Crossroads Christianity that is that is getting to a fork in the road and trying to apply the word that you heard concerning the dilemma instead of spending time in God to where you don't see a fork there's no other options you have a single eye there's no which way I must be on The Wizard of Oz thing there's no which way to Oz [Music] it's that way that's no you guys with me single eye it's one voyage I don't want you to lift living Crossroads Christianity I want you becoming a word and the Word made flesh and I'm like who and I'm in my bedroom barely saved crying feeling so honored and humbled that God's standing there fathering me like this and I'm like this is awesome just throwing it out to you it's God who always always leads us to triumph in Christ how do I know what I'm preaching is right on because the point is that in the situation he's defusing the fragrance of his knowledge where through your life where is he doing it everywhere are you getting this now watch for we are to God who are we to God we are the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing and the rest just makes sense to us guess who we are to God we're the go-to people that represent and make known his son and he always leads us in triumph because he's shown us the way the way of escape the way of perspective that we never internalize things and take life personal we've taken him personal now we have a clear view on everything that's going on around us guys this is not a text book you live by its life in the spirit it's love made men of did in the moment he yet it had a young lady talked to me and worship about some things or questions we're awesome her heart was just beautiful III just loved her heart and one of my last things I said there I said honey what you're asking me there's no textbook it's in the moment it's in the moment love is defined in the moment what love looks like most the time is in the moment and we need to understand everything ahead of time that's why we have no peace the peace that surpasses understanding comes to the people that don't need to know everything beforehand if you need to know everything before and have total understanding you'll never have peace that surpasses understanding because you need to understand come on so people say how am I supposed to handle this there's general principles we can apply but man what love looks like is through your relationship and how you've grown in him and you'll know in the moment and if you're before the Lord humble and you're just before him and saying lord I don't want to speak out a turn I don't want to speak from the flesh I just want to speak your heart and in this situation in that situation god I just want to rightly manifest you enough thank you you have led me always in triumph you have always shown me the way I've escaped the way of your son and God through my life I thank you for the honor of diffusing the fragrance of your knowledge let my life in part who you are into the hearts of men in this situation and I thank you Holy Spirit I trust you I thank you for words I thank you for an expression thank you for the manifestation of the love and you get in your car and you drive into work and you walk through that situation you get it thanks be to God Jason would be good at preaching this man I bet you could stand up and rip off so many scriptures that talk about being thankful remaining thankful and staying in Thanksgiving he is rip off them scriptures I like it you know why it's important to remain thankful and in all things give thanks and stay thankful and he adds thankfulness on to everything because it keeps your eyes off of you and how you're feeling and how it's affecting you and it keeps your eyes on the truth and on covenant and on the answer and on the promise when you lose thankfulness you've lost sight of the truth because you have everything to be thankful for in fact it's it's actually ridiculous what we've received through Christ we should be overwhelmed seriously without trying to hike the atmosphere and force us into praise when we really see it's good tidings of great joy the fact that great joy is lacking among us just simply means we don't totally get the good tidings because the good tidings is great joy the great joy is impossible to not have you say well I'm not that kind of personality no you're skipping around at the point you stereotyped yourself you've exempted yourself from the grace that comes to price no the gospel says good tidings of great joy unless you're not that kind of person it doesn't mean you have to express the joy in a crazy way but I'm telling you joy is joy thankful thankfulness flows out of it she waked up in the morning and just loving life in him recognizing that life's not a challenge at chore or a dread it's an absolute gift and you got one little window called life to leave a mark forever and bring glory to his name period that's the raw truth and and and and faith will live that the just shall live by so I get so concerned you hear me talk about emotions and feelings all the time we cater to them we honor them we even worship a man sometimes we feel like we have to oblige everybody's feelings and emotions man if they're old and degenerate I wish we'd learn to trash them and everybody be willing to trash them until life is produced through our will and emotions because if what you're feeling and thinking and what it's throwing you into is a produce in life you need to take a deep breath and say wait a minute this can't be inspired by God it can't be the truth and it can't it can't possibly be Who I am because it's producing no life so it's not a prayer issue it's a change that takes place through faith you get what I'm saying come on this stuff's important to me yeah I don't even know what we're doing I still haven't figured out what we're doing let us know we're here I'm glad to be here and I know that sometimes just going to sing friend forever I'm pumped Chum pumped man thank you she informed you just think that's oh I haven't heard it for a long time people don't play that song I haven't even heard it for a long time I have it in my bedroom on a CD one day I just I tortured my heart in a good way I've dug out out of a box because when I got saved it was 95 and we were still listening to cassette tapes and I'm still a caveman anyway so the cassette tapes probably half normal to me I got out all these tapes that I used to play in my bedroom and this one that I played non-stop my first five weeks of Christianity along with Jesus friend forever there was a tape that I'd popped in all the time that had a bunch of songs on I sat in my living room and my wife went away I waited till she would lose yeah we're friends do you get it he's good to me I found a friend forever like the Gospels true like he loves me and that'll never change like he's forgiven me and he's put hope in me and he's put destiny of me he'll never look down at me and Scalla see what are you doing boy they'll say you know you're more than that you've greater potential son what are you thinking now come on I love you that's what he'll do if you're really listening you know I mean how God talked to me you weren't listening to him I played that tape in my living room my wife went away she had this run errands told me she was going to be going a long time I thought this is perfect it was so funny because my buddy Todd showed up right at the end and I was so I had to look like a prune man I hid that tape and that first song started playing I just women nest it was just one of those thankful reminiscing times and the years were just floating by as I was it was playing and every song made me cry more till I was so overwhelmed that I was heaving I felt like I was gonna die from crying and I was so thankful its overwhelmed I couldn't even talk I'm just my heart was interceding you know what I mean and then Todd knocks on the door come on in there hey how you doing buddy what I mean by that is just being soft and broken I just keeping the spicket flowing like you said said I come home and I hit my answering machine and somebody's crying and say hey thank you and they tell me a ridiculous testimony and you're like and as soon as it's over guess what you do you hit the repeat button and you cry more because you know what's coming and by the third time you hit it you're really going I do it all the time people mail me pictures I got I got stuff man I got a picture of a face of a newborn baby who was in a womb and the cord was wrapped and pinched and choked out and there was nothing going into the baby but so critical in the way the baby and the mother they didn't you said if we do surgery the blood loss it was just a medical complication mess and and they said mama would die and probably bleed to death and dadada and so we're going to just have to let you run term but we sorry to tell you your baby if it's alive will have no sense of anything and being coherent and non-functional but most likely it won't be alive we don't see how it can be they come to a healing service for prayer so I'm gonna die didn't do anything wrong I'm like I'm like I'm gonna pray that that thing opens up I'm gonna speak to it and tell that thing to open up Authority I'm gonna pray I go to play for the Haiti and the Lord overtakes me I've never had it happen to me like this to where my mouth turned into a puppet and he said am I not the Lord God am i obligated to open that for even as I sustained Moses for forty days on the mountain in my presence without any human sustenance I will support this baby for the next three months and it will be born unfazed and onion perfectly and done it up thus saith the Lord and I don't even talk like that and I'm like [Music] and I'm like oops so much for faith and she's like no and I said do you understand what just happened God three months comes by she has the baby the cord is completely choked everything's dry and there's nothing going into the baby I have the picture of the baby in the testimony and a little file thing and the baby is completely 100% normal he holds all things together by the word of his power if he says be you'll be it doesn't matter anything else anything else it doesn't matter we better get a hold of what he says B we better learn the will of God not be unwise but understand what the will of the Lord is not be conformed to the world well brother you gonna use wisdom about God don't be conformed to the world but transformed by the so that you can prove we're supposed to know it not fight over it not use our circumstances to prove our point because your circumstances are a result of your believing or unbelieving they don't prove the point or just the manifestation and what we see and don't see most the time they don't prove anything well see he died it wasn't the will of God what does that white his disciples pray for an epileptic boy and he wasn't cured but it was the will of God to heal him so why we teach that stuff when the Bible doesn't come on his own disciples pray for an epileptic boy was he healed by Jesus was he healed when they prayed was it the will of God to heal him was he healed when they prayed was it the will of God to healing oops why don't we preach that stuff a lot since it seems to be our scenario instead of excuse it away and write more books on why men aren't healed and add a list of reasons to that book because if you embrace one of those reasons you've just put a ceiling over the reefs of the kingdom of God in your life just one of those reasons here's the deal Jesus did not have that book 30 reasons why men aren't healed in his back pocket and the only reason we wrote it is because we're trying to explain away our experience and make us feel better about what we feel bad about it the cost of truth which makes us free sure I'm trying but I don't even know what I'm doing okay whoa you guys were supplying around here amen oh I had so much fun this weekend with you guys Thanks thanks for loving him thanks for not being constrained and restricted thanks for getting up here man with the mic you do it and you come up and it looks like you're gonna transition and you just get back somewhere and then you just and I'm like this gonna be a while and then you go somewhere else and then you re posture today you played the human drum for 20 minutes I saw you I said that dude is on it you were like with them at it for 20 minutes you were beating the drum dude okay let's do something let's do something I'm done I'm sorry I really am are you guys okay I really honestly have no idea what I just did I'm just trusting and I'm not looking for encouragement or you just say hey I just that last hour was a blur to me I'm not sure what I did so I'm just going to trust that we said something then helped you seriously I don't know I'm not looking for applause I'll told you I told you that story I don't know why I got on that demonic thing for a little Jason did I go there the last time I was here or anything no did I tell you about the little Shiite Muslim girl that came to a service and got saved okay because it keeps attacking me the story keeps attacking me I'm trying to push it away like thinking you know we're not needing to go there I want you to bear with me on this this is emotional and powerful and then we're going to go somewhere with this and I want you to just I was preaching why God sent his son and God's love and the stuff I like to preach and at the end of the service they brought this little precious excuse me 20 year old mr. precious little black girl from Philadelphia she come up front she said to me I didn't catch her language she said I want this Jesus and I want all of him and I didn't catch her language I was just in my mind I thought she was a Christian that was hungry and just wanted more and I was like man you know this you know I'm just gonna bless her she's a pretty easy target right now she's just I could tell she was vulnerable before the Lord wasn't some weird thing needing affirmation I want the Lord to touch me to tell me I'm worthy it wasn't weird she wasn't looking for a manifestation or ministry she I could tell she was like I want Jesus and I was like well Jesus would you come and she's crashes to the floor so she crashes to the floor and I'm like well she was a easy target because we think that's a big deal sometimes you don't like where this is gone and I went to walk and pray for somebody else that was waiting to talk to me and I saw movement and I looked and on the floor she went into a catatonic trance she just froze and was staring at the ceiling and the look of terror that was on her face was undescribable a movie actor couldn't of portrayed to terror that I could see in her face it was the look of sheer terror totally can atonic look like a wax figure wasn't moving you couldn't see her chest breathing just froze staring at the ceiling come on it's obviously demonic right so in my position what do you do well you inquire the Lord you like okay Lord what's going on here I mean do you got this seriously hey you can get in the way you can try to do too much when do you just believe listen I talked to a young boy that came in the church and the grandmother come up to me and said I just brought my grandson to the service I don't know what's going on with him he's in the back of the church and he just keeps saying don't take me near that man I don't want to go up to that man I don't want to meet that man I'm not talking to that man I don't know what's come over him I don't know what he's doing I mean he's not like this we come in don't want it to come to this service all right and he's just emphatic he wants to leave he doesn't want to come near you I said I'll go to him it's okay and I started heading back to him and he tried to go and he didn't know where to go and he would over he just sat in the windowsill and start staring out the window oh so it was so sad he's just trapped in a cage he's to see young kids got himself messed up and this thing is owning him and I sat down on the windowsill right beside him and hey buddy cared about him I wasn't chasing no devil I want him free hey buddy I'm glad you're here tonight grandma said you're uncomfortable and not at this me said some stuff man I don't buy into none of that you ain't getting my attention I'm already fixed on the answer and I and I got his name I knew his name and I said not called him by name I said listen to me and I said and this thing spoke again and I knew it wasn't the kid and I said you'd be quiet and you loose him and you let him go and they fart of Jesus name and I said son and he got up he looked like this and he ran out of the church just full speed and the grandparents panicked and he got me just a little nervous because he's gone I mean a blazing trail going and they went oh and they went chasing and out of my spirit stop don't chase him he'll be fine just come and enjoy yourself enjoy the service your grandson's fine I promise he's fine 15 minutes later he comes walking in the church broken and changed not an evil thing on him comes over and sits in the lap of his grandma and lays his head on his shoulder and says I don't know what happened to me but I know I am different and I feel fine and he sat there the rest of the service as we ministered the gospel yeah so I said the Holy Spirit what's going on here do you have this I mean is this thing just it's in the light it's scared it's spooking I mean are you or do you want me to do something that's what I asked the Lord you gotta love this he said Dan because it's obviously demonic he said I didn't know she was Shiite Muslim I'm so glad if I knew she was she had Muslim I have just enough knowledge about that stuff five percenter Twin Towers whoo all of a sudden you empower the thing because it's impressive this is a principality or something come on Muslim this is hardcore stuff that's what we do watch he's fathering these teaching me I don't know nothing I just knows this is a devil what did she ask for I want that's a good request yeah you better remember this stuff what'd she want I'll bet you if she wants Jesus and wants more of him there ain't nothing gonna be able to stand in the way friend so because someone was in the way now it's spooked Holy Spirit said this I cried for three days I'm not exaggerating I couldn't communicate I was so overwhelmed by this revelation it's why I come across the way I do and stuff this kind of stuff you got to tell the stuff so people understand why you are the way you are I cried for three days and couldn't talk about it Holy Spirit said Dan the spirit that has bound this woman her whole life she was born into Shiite Muslim it was like an inheritance thing she was born into it it was there from birth it was who knows what she was committed to before birth and all that stuff dan the spirit that has bound this woman her whole life she was 20 is beholding the face of the Son of God now what are you going to do with me we've got this little vision my eyes opened Jesus is straddling her with his hands on his hips looking down at her he's as tall as the ceiling of the church I'm in but believe me he's way bigger here's the point the spirit is looking into his face totally sheer terror no match far above all power and principality name above see that stuff is true we just don't get it and we're spooked and scared and bothered by things but guess what they know it and they're intent on never letting you see what they know this lady's laying on the floor like this sheer terror and Holy Ghost says the spirit that has held this woman her whole life is beholding the face of the Son of God you talk about rooster wasn't arrogance it wasn't proud I'm like [Applause] you came into the barnyard buddy you just walked into the wrong pen cuz this man that's traveling you who were friends and he sent me and he happens to be king and Lord of the universe and you know it cackles man you know look at that I can preacher struttin you don't have a clue what you're saying you're so presumptuous you can't even handle stuff hardly like that there's things going your life you talk about confidence that's not arrogance you talk about faith and authority the spirit that is bound her her whole life you can call it generational and make it a big deal all you want no match for the one you worship all our great teaching on this stuff has empowered it more than we'll admit we've made it a monster that can hardly be defeated and we have to come at it so many ways so I said something like this now you see that's pretty cool now you see and now you know why you have to let her go because Jesus yeah and she goes just like in your Bible unbelievable ear piercing I mean I'm talking glasses like that's what it seemed like [Applause] holy spirit said get her up quickly tell her I love her that's in your DNA she's never been in church she's worshiping him out of her lips Jesus I love you precious Jesus thank you Jesus thank you Jesus straining times we even talked about it this man came up that brought her to the service you know cuz don't get bothered by this when you do what I do people target you they think they have to get to you for prayer we got to stop that stop that we're borderline idolatry most of the time Christ in us Christ in us priesthood of believers signs fellow believers yeah I've watched people breeze through the corporate prayer so they can get to me first when everybody else comes that doesn't feel changed puts me in a tough spot because we're all in faith believing together and now you come to me so if anything does change guess whose fault it is and all of a sudden man I was pray for about three people but when damned parade Wow stop that wonderful what the three people prayed is working in you and if it's not a hit miss or a point in time wonder if it's faith working through love wonder if it's a synergism of just like faith and people believing and wonder if that thing's overcome and it happens to change because I'm adding a little something to what's already given and now all of a sudden you're more anointed and Wow when I got prayer from him I got healed you need to get to him and all of a sudden were chasing folks instead of groaning Christ come on we've been taught to do it it's it's tragic to me I had a man snatch his son out of the hands of our people when his daughter got healed and ran to me for prayer I watched him snatch the boy out of their hands and ran to me to pray because his daughter got healed when I prayed I told nobody to come to me it was at my own church and that can get pretty because people they advertise that people come from all over and they come from me to pray for them and watch what I did because I have the strength to do this he come to me he said this is amazing what happened to my daughter it's amazing how a my goodness here you have to pray for my son I said I can so what do you mean you can I can you just snatched him out of the hands of our people anything I pray for something even remotely changes you're gonna say it's because of me if it's put me in a terrible position man I said how many of our people were praying for you he said you have amazing people they're very loving he said I bet you 20 people have held my son and prayed and I said and you snatched him out of their hands to bring him to me that's a problem yes but my daughter when you prayed I said stop he said my boy has not changed I said stop looking at that you've got one response when you leave here thank you Jesus for what you're doing in my boy I so appreciate the people of that church and how they loved him and pray for him and so appreciated the response and the release of your kingdom into my son god I worship you he didn't listen to me he got offended I'm pretty strong fellow and he was walking through the crowd everybody's kind of shocked and standing narrow and I can man this is intense Dan won't even pray for and I said hey look at me sir making a big mistake don't you walk out of here offend it you've got one response Thanksgiving I appreciate what you did in my girl and thank you for restoring my son you're an amazing God stop making it about me praying for your boy it's idolatry believe Jesus he's enough he walked right out thing is this boy at spinal bifida and he's never tried to crawl let alone walk they drove five long miserable offended hours back home but we drove five hours we took five hours for you to brake for us I said your five hour drive is not faith doesn't mean it's faith you're targeting me you got your eyes on me and you're let down by anything but your expectation fulfilled and you know if you listen to me preach I preach that that ain't cool he turns offended he gets halfway back the I said hey buddy he's like what even if you don't listen to me and you leave here offended I do have good news for you we teach these people how to never let go and no matter what other people are doing you can't stop faith you just can't stop God he turned and left months later he comes back and they testify about their daughter because she was born with the leg half the size of the other we watched it grow in front of our eyes this blonde the pediatrician measured her and she's perfectly flawless and they have records of this condition that has this little leg below the knee on the other leg and now she's perfect and they're like how I we took her to a place they prayed Jesus I watched it grow right in front of my eyes so they're sharing the testimony and everybody celebrating and then the daddy looks to me and he says pastor Dan I need to apologize to you you have wisdom and I didn't want to listen he said when we brought my son I was so in turmoil because I felt like we won on one hand and lost on the other and he explained his heart and I get it I understood what he was thinking he said but you gave me much wisdom and you told me what to not do and I listened to none of it I did everything you said enough to do he said I got home we didn't talk the whole way home I was throwing my luggage around the room I said to the wife take care of the kids I'm mad and he said I'm frustrated I'm complaining who out I'm offended of Pastor Dan he said and I'm no sooner in the bedroom and I hear my wife screaming I run into the play room where we lay our child and surround him with toys because he can't crawl or walk I turned the corner and there's my son standing in the room he said God so merciful he gave me time to turn on my cell phone and record him walking to the toy box he looked at me and cried and said please forgive me and thank you for teaching your people to not let go I did everything wrong and the mercy of God has made my son to walk he sat him down and he ran tomorrow so please understand my aggression my passion I've seen some stuff I've been through some things and I understand a little bit of what I'm telling you that devil was no match for the Son of God that man ran up to me and said I'm so glad you got to pray for her I was so glad that youth minister and and I was smashed knew God was gonna move and he's you know doing I'm like well yeah it was fun and he's like man did she tell you she was Shiite Muslim or did God show you and I said huh what and I just started to cry profusely because I knew in my heart of hearts that if I had that foreknowledge Ida came out at a certain way and empower him and as I'm crying under the conviction of the Lord crying in repentance knowing that mercy kept me from the foreknowledge so that I could learn the most vital lesson Holy Spirit whispered to me see Dan I'm standing there crying hard he said see Dan all I ever need you to know is Jesus is Lord you have no authority over what you fear fear not it's your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom you don't have a spirit of fear power love sound mind why are we fearless because we're selfless why are we fearless because we can't lose we already want he used to teach a homegroup when I was nine months saved in the Lord I opened it up and it was part of our church vision and it it was rockin it was fun 200 some folks came through our house in two years and we split it and made three or four other groups out of it it was just fun trained up leaders it was fun season but in that home group man I would get so passionate I tore my shirt one day popped buttons right off my shirt I know you probably can't see me getting that passionate but I did I was on my knees crawling through the living room and my house was jam-packed full of people and they're all coming to hear the word so it probably ought to give it and I'm crawling on my hands and my knees through the living room because it was it was more room I was down there was people everywhere we had no room for him the streets were packed it was crazy people would pull up and pull away because they knew there's no room in the house and I remember one day I was preaching this kind of stuff about love and not your own life and we already won and I was nine months safe guys maybe 10 or 11 and people were coming to our home because they were having fun there and and they're looking for the Ministry of the Spirit they're looking for a lot of stuff come into the house they got a lot of motives and I mean so cool man love will release a lot of stuff like my wife and I would pray and thank up for the privilege of homegroup and we'd look at somewhere where a chair was going to be or one of our couch cushions and the Lord would give us a word of knowledge on Thursday for who was sitting there on Saturday so we'd sit there like kids man just wait to see her sack where oh that's so fun but I love my knees crawling and I'm like I pointed to my wife she's so innocent precious she's like look at me with these big brown eyes I said do you see that young lady there did you see that girl that's the wife of my youth that's the mom of our dear children that's like pour it out Martin are like okay Wow he loves her and I said you take her from me you strip those two children right there from under me you burn this house down around me take the shirt off my body you can't defeat me now I have already won and they're all like dude I don't know if I came for this message that's what they were thinking but do you hear what I'm trying out but relationship with Jesus isn't contingent on the well-being of my family or my circumstances there's an honor and integrity and a diligence about this gospel that honors him above everything that ever is or will be unless you love less your wife your children your houses your land and yes your own life you by no means be my wholehearted follower you'll be distracted by something on that list I used to serve the Lord but when this happened to my wife I'm not being insensitive listen to my heart guys well I used to God really use me but this happened to my children was I giving them away was I saying hey and inviting the devil to come and hammer my family I'm making a point I'm saying my relationship and the destiny of God in my life is not contingent on the well-being of how everything pans out concerning my home it contingent on the integrity and the honor of who he is and who he's made me to be in him and you can't stop it period and this is what I preached I pointed to my children and I said you could say this is presumptious and you don't know because you didn't lose him but I said guys if I lost one of these kids why won't the reality the fragile miss of life and the reality of everlasting life kick in all the more instead of the sorrow of heart and why wouldn't I live this thing even harder in that thing why wouldn't I go after it stronger the way that seems right to a man says you get sorrowful you pull back and yet the gospel doesn't teach me that Billy dies of cancer and he's four and he's the life of the Thanksgiving gathering and now he's chairs empty and you can't ignore it and everybody in the room is broken and aware he's not there come on and no one will talk about it we're trying to act like it's not there because we haven't walked in a revelation that knows how to handle this stuff called loss it just takes one person that understands to rise up on Thanksgiving and say hey guys before we eat and thanks over the food I just want to say man it's obvious Billy's chairs empty and grandma freaks out cringes and moms as if you don't already know look I'm not being funny this stuff's real just takes one person to say listen man that little fella the life of this family man I couldn't wait to see that boy on Thanksgiving and it's just real chairs not filled you all know we've lost him but man we didn't lose guys and I need y'all chin up we're never ready to lose a loved one and with way before his time this is something wrong man I don't know I know there's just some way that thing could have changed but but he's not here guys and we've got to be main to guard our heart especially here on Thanksgiving man thank God as short as they were for those four years every memory everything he imparted to us and thanked up for the blood of Jesus and everlasting life and little Billy is not dead so let's not live dead it's rise up and live life because Jesus's blood has kept Billy forever and that's run well and makes sure one day we all rejoice together it's all it takes I'm doing a funeral of a 10 year old the whole schools there the whole faculties there all kinds of families there he got hit by a car it ran right over his head and the caskets closed it's real and I'm standing there and I am the preacher and you can't even see through the people they're crowding in there's so much tears and so much sorrow it's tragedy it's a tragedy without the gospel total loss and the mom looks up and at the graveside if you ever do a funeral you need to understand this the graveside is so important because it's where the sense of loss strikes the heart of the family it's the reality of goodbyes they're about to put the body of your loved one in the ground and when you walk away you realize it's over even though you know they already passed the graveside is an emotional time and it's very important to nail that thing commit the body to the ground and the spirit with the Lord when there's Salvation involved don't butter it up and compromise it to make people feel good if there's no salvation to your awareness you talk about the reality of needing Jesus and don't commit a person to hell don't say what he ain't yeah you don't know who's saved or not but I'm done saying don't say what you need the family to hear be real I've done a lot of funerals that way but here's what happened mama looked at the funeral or at the casket and she said that's her son and every pandemonium it just everybody was falling apart you know can you imagine the hysteria in that moment spero woman comes upon me I don't know if I ever felt anything like it so full of authority and power it wasn't insensitive it was amazing I stood up and I said listen to me loud listen to me everyone I started slamming the top of the box Cody is not in this box and it came on me that crazy Cody is not it was God just getting a hold of everything and people went there I'm just going to be real there were drug dealers there there were a lot of folks there this family had a real mixed bag of stuff and now I'm screaming he is not in his spouse and you listen to me well without the revelation of Jesus Christ in eternal life you can't handle this kind of tragedy and you will grieve as those who have no hope and you will justify it through your reasons that fix-it came out with fire and I said but Jesus changes at all and Cody knew him and because Cody knew him he is not in this box and one day when you're in this box we better make sure you're not and it's not so you just go to heaven but listen to me if you don't understand him now and receive him now you cannot handle this he changes everything who hears ready to believe on him and receive him and huh and you should have seen that the whole atmosphere changed all the tears stopped and the reality is Cody was gone in the natural but the gospel changes at all man I told you a lot of different stories dinner I won't pray for the sick I'm just listening I'm like lord I feel like I won't pray for the sick if you don't say no guess what that means yeah some of us are waiting for a yeah and it's yesterday man gospel we're like should I go pray for that person yeah it's probably yeah a lot of us prayed to hear yes and you probably have a yes unless you hear now and it's catchy because sometimes you know is self-consciousness in fear should I go love on that person oh let me pray about it yeah people say how do you do your schedule when you get hundreds of invites I go to about twelve percent I do forty five weekends a year you can do the math I do forty five weekends a year and I go to about twelve percent of my invites it's a lot of invites people say how no what do you do that man how do you pick out of a stack like that where you go say I go where I want to have a yes unless they here know who's not important to God now if you're thinking honorariums you're picking the biggest churches yeah you go where there's hunger you go where you want to go you hear the heart on the email and you think man I want to go there and guess what you don't hear you don't hear now because he said go ye therefore so I just called to my schedules filled and you be amazed how many years go by and you don't hear no about six times in eight years I heard no and don't even know why and it doesn't mean there was anything wrong if there's something wrong that's usually watching yeah come on now watch this because of the simplicity of that faith I don't strive over my schedule my confidence is always high I always believe I'm in the will of God because he wants to love people what geographical location isn't important to God and what person doesn't matter so is it always about size you go into a small town and you get I just was in the town where I had a hundred people in front of me out of a town of 1,400 men that's a majority and that was fun but here's my point in eight years of travelling I so long ago I stopped pretty much local pastoring and just started traveling because realized that's what I was to do without asking to do it or knocking on the door I've never asked to go anywhere eight years of traveling I don't have one experience or memory of a weekend that I felt like wasn't productive didn't go well and wasn't the will of God not one time that's pretty fun now I would have if Ida went when I heard the now so when you hear no you tell them though and you don't try to explain it you just say listen right now I just man I just don't see myself coming that way don't you take that personal I've got a lot of stuff in front of me and you just you don't make them get insecure or think why wouldn't God want you to come here cuz I don't even know I don't even ask him why I don't even want to know but I just knew I heard know about six times in eight years but I go to about 45 churches a year so that's not too many knows too so live that way in your life so that what I was just doing there I was like floored you know we preached so much we really preach this morning this afternoon ah I love you guys but I felt like I could have got on a plane after the morning service and just flew home I felt like I said what I was supposed to say man and it was like but then the afternoon was fun - tonight I have no idea what I did and all these nations are watching I'm so sorry I hope something clicked guys how about if we pray for the sick I bet that's the will of God whatever city you're in whoo all the nations you read off where they had in that camera see I'm because I'm not a technique out your techo guy man I'm like this is new to me I'm never talking to cameras but you're getting on me a little whatever city you're in see whatever city you're in heal the sick there and tell them the kingdoms here what city whatever what sick Bo this thing's pretty simple man I wonder if I should pray for them probably if you're thinking about it do it just be gracious be quick don't inconvenience em you're there to bless them not exploit them think about the person so you know they're uncomfortable they're already freaked out that you took their hand and pray and they thought you meant you were going to put them on your prayer list and now they're stopped in public and people are walking by and you're praying out loud and they're freaked out most the time a lot of times people that have no clue what you're doing they're like oh my gosh he meant right now look hi I've had buddies pray it's happened more than once but I had a couple different times where I walked up to people that I was walking with or in a store with and they were praying for somebody and when I walked up it looked like I was like whoa what are you doing what are they doing and the person that's being prayed for doesn't know they're my friend and they're going and they're like making fun of him like I don't know what they're there right now it was just like that one time in Cabela's and the guy's so sincere he's down on his knees no I don't usually do that but he does he just felt like he's doubting Cabela's on his knees praying and the guys like oh goodness and I come walking by and he's like his kids are behind my friend his kids - the dad dog and the guys like my friend stands up social fear he has no clue what they're doing right he says so go ahead man check your leg and put some weight on it and check it out he says huh he said come on man this is real jesus loves you check it out and he goes and then the headlight deer thing came serious he's standing on and his kids going and Jesus is healing him why why because the man's position for it because the sign follows those that believe come on we can all keep grown into believers can't we I haven't seen everybody I've touched healed I've seen people that were supposed to die die and I've done their funerals I don't like that neither do you you don't take that personal and turn tail and run you pursue and grow and keep on plugging you could pray for 16 people that's supposed to die cancer and they all die you're still supposed to pray for number 17 just don't tell them your statistics just being light-hearted what I'm saying is oh just having fun with listen does the Bible still say you lay their hands on the sick and they recover so we have to prove God's Word wrong or grow into it so that stop asking questions that subvert faith and let's start moving toward faith forward in faith amen so that's just this just do it simple and sweet who would receive prayer tonight who would say if you're praying for the sick I would like you to pray for me who would do that this gentleman right here he's in a wheelchair don't ever don't ever run from a wheelchair and in power conditions you hear me people say well I've never seen anybody blind see I say how many do you pray for we're always waiting for it to happen and when it does happen we weren't there to see it and it doesn't well I never saw anybody get out of which or how many do you pray for come on we're always expecting they're hoping it happens but why don't we position our self for it don't you just stop along the way and start loving people making contact and saying hey listen man I see you're going through a struggle what happened make some conversation I was in the mall and a lady was in a scooter and I said hey girl and we got talking I said what question hey you almost backed over my foot you

natural stuff and chitchat and you're gonna be my friend and social and we can laugh all day I want to pray for you for your sake and see your body changed to believe it's possible and you want to

didn't even blink and he just looked and I went through you on that one didn't I I said man you've used that to get away from folks like me haven't you guys that's work I said a lot of people think you have to believe to be healed I said look man it's my privilege to pray whatever city I'm in I'm from PA and I'm right here in Colorado I said listen man whatever city I'm in heal the sick and tell him it's because the kingdom's here he said look man they're calling me to photography I need to go listen I wasn't here to inconvenience I'm here to bless you okay you see that man coming down there I said yeah I said he's my friend we're gonna pray for you as you walk into photography I just want you to check your hand cuz I believe with all my heart your hands coming alive it's a check it and he looked at me like you're cuckoo he just rolled his eyes and look I don't want that I'm not pursuing that I don't want him to think I'm nuts but it just worked that way and and and I felt this thing in my heart and I'm like so he turns the corner he said no photography I told my friend of situations to just give me your hands come on gonna believe God he loves that man so much I said Tim just doesn't understand man he's not offensive to God he just doesn't understand forgive him father they don't know what they saw so I told him I was gonna pray for my stuff and come back to photography and check on him I turned the corner to pay for my stuff and he's standing in front of photography staring and I looked and he said now you have me really afraid now you're freaking me out he's the manager he's yelling in a loud tone across his store so I thought since he started it out join in yeah because I'm not there to be obnoxious and wrecked the place I'm there to honor him and to love him I'm not there to make a scene I'm not using his place as my stage this love a man named Jim who I saw brace on his arm and I believe he matters to God yeah if I have the value that I have through Christ and I see that same value for him and I said what's going on man why are you afraid he said my hand is completely full of feeling I can move it and feel everything it's not even tingling you're freaking me out man how can this be I said his name's Jesus the one that you don't believe Tim just because you don't believe him doesn't mean he's not real he's real and he's Lord and He loves you and no matter where your heart was positioned he has always loved you he knows who you're created to be and he knew I just preach the gospel loud through the writing I said this man he lives around the corner and down the street he's gonna come back and talk to you we got a run would you welcome him if he comes and explains things to you meet with him man this is a good day for you sir he said yes I would welcome that and the guy went back and she had still the talk and testimony of their little town and that fun well that sure beats just preaching the gospel like we think preaching the gospel it is hey you need to repent and change and do that why not love him enough to care about his present situation and when he says I don't believe anything you say don't get offended by him anything boy I gotta go and touch him with a ten-foot pole no you don't want to touch him with a ten-foot pole God's waiting to through you if you can cooperate you get what I'm saying and then all of a sudden Jesus touches his net there's a man that would roll in on a wheelchair - Tom's market on permanent dialysis was serious diabetes and neuropathy and now he walks into Tom's and his kidneys work hello I don't know about you but that's awesome because that's not church service that nobody can relate to except the person had happened to that's the public market that's people that drank coffee with him in his wheelchair all the time and knew his life and now he's walking in and doesn't have dialysis and doesn't have neuropathy and doesn't have to I beat it and now people say what happened to you these guys pray for me in Jesus name my body changed why look at me come on that's pretty cool stuff in it listen the reason I'm telling you this stuff because we got to start somewhere and never stop and never look back come on this is the safest place man it's not about failing it's not about who's not being healed and who didn't get healed it's about releasing the kingdom and believing God and getting out of the way and stop taking this stuff personal and getting self-conscious it's about getting in the race getting in the game getting the ball and let's go for you follow me and it's simple man Jesus name be healed we'll just go start going for it release some faith we're gonna pray for some folks you all right okay let me see you again who would receive prayer tonight and who came for prayer we already know the man right down front is in a wheelchair please don't run from a wheelchair ever stand to your feet if you can you you're fine right there sir we know you here you want prayer too ma'am stand your feet if you need prayer okay it got late - on Fri it's late again man I'm so yeah so someone to teach some of this stuff out and it just man it gets silly who was here Friday night when we pray for the sick who helped pray for the sick and stuff I want to do the same thing I don't know how long we're going to take with time and testimony here's what I won't tell you I'll do this stuff a lot when I travel and I try to get everybody involved it's just beautiful to see what God does I was in the service a while back and and and had about a hundred people it was a big big setting but I had about a hundred people testify of being healed in about 30 seconds because the church prayed scoliosis went straight cataracts fell off of eyes was this amazing the deaf ear opened it was it wasn't just my back doesn't hurt which I don't make light of that I honor all that stuff man you know he see how is this a sore back well wait till it's your back you know listen man it took the same sacrifice to heal your thumb as it does to take away powerless don't make light of healing and don't think it's rhetorical and don't fail to appreciate God moving in people don't say we're just moving in the knee and neck and back anointing to stop that sometimes you just grow confidence in areas because you stepped out in areas you've seen some results in your hearts aflame and then you get intimidated by other areas because you haven't seen things so then we teach that you have anointing for certain things no you have an anointing yeah come on man did you know what cancer strategy is to cause so much loss hurt and pain and gain such a name that when we hear it we fear I woke up one morning and the Lord was on top of me I can't explain it other than I'm telling you he was on top of me it wasn't weird he was hovering over me I opened my eyes to him and he said this in my eyes were barely open my people are vulnerable in the world in which they live in varna vulnerability is fear and I'm like you know all too automatically crying because I know what he's saying is profound but I don't totally understand it other than vulnerability is fear my people are vulnerable to the world in which they live and vulnerability is fear I've created them to be subdue anat to be subdued that's what he said to me and I'm laying there crying and I'm trying to understand he says Stan why do men died of second-hand smoke because that's a big issue an article that's why there's smoke free zones that's why there's smoking rooms that's why there's because people were talking about secondhand smoke sometimes they're saying because of this and this and this and all their studies that it's worse on the person that's not smoking than the person smoking there's a lot stuffs out there he's just why listen to the profoundness of the lord dan why do people die of secondhand smoke I said Lord only you know I don't even know quite what's going on he said cuz they believe they can that's intense we got to be careful we don't preach to where if you grow in a confidence of faith that you're called arrogant the Lord said the reason people die of secondhand smokes because they believe they can and I'm ballin now and he says think of the strategy of some of these major diseases that are seemingly gaining speed on the earth these diseases that you categorize as major terminal things he said like cancer he said Dan cancer strategy is to gain such a momentum in the hearts of men through loss and destruction to gain such fear that when it's name is mentioned people he said that's to be my name he said it's a perversion on the earth and my church is vulnerable and buying in because of the loss and the pain they've suffered through that word because there's nobody in this room that hasn't been touched in some way by that word am I being real vulnerability sphere so we're gonna pray for you tonight how many of you that are being prayed for right now this isn't a trick question just be honest how many of you that we're praying for right now will be in the service tomorrow at 10 o'clock let me see your hands hi how many people it's a good many here's what we're going to do we're going to pray for you okay I'm gonna get people to pray for you I'm going to get people to believe God for you don't turn faith into a hit miss win or lose or a point in time I give you permission tonight to not pray long prayers but if you want to pray three times go for it but don't change your prayer don't experiment and don't go fishing you don't need another colored flag and an extra shofar serious on the blood is shed the work is finished we get into works and won't admit it sometimes God inspires things and it releases faith I get that but don't you turn it into works I understand Lord leads to do some amazing and strange things sometimes but when we turn that into something that we're experimenting with now and hey let's do this and try this I heard a man say this and he did this that's wave that flag let's stop that if Holy Spirit tells you to do it and you know it was Holy Spirit do it but if it was Holy Spirit when you do it it's over I'm serious so we're gonna pray for you tonight what we're going to do is they're going to come to you and they're going to ask you I'm gonna let this be a body of Christ you okay with this body of Christ ministry because we have a lot of visitors don't just respect this for the sake of leadership we don't know everybody in the room man don't bring I appreciate your ministry training if you had it I'm not putting it down don't bring it in to this house tonight just let the name of Jesus be enough and let's just do this in Jesus name be healed paying you leave whatever they tell you your situation their situation is you address it you speak to the mountain and the mountain move this makes sense so in a minute I'm going to release you to find somebody and make sure that everybody gets to everybody that's standing when I have you all in your second raise your hand don't do it now or I'll make your arm tired because I'm not short on things when they come to you you put your hand down you ask them man how can I pray with you how can I believe with you and you tell them give them the short version just tell them why you stood up tell them why you want prayer just tell them what's going on the short version so they get it then you as the believer join with them and you pray and speak to the mountain pain you leave disease you come out of the body and the authority of Jesus name I bless you kingdom of God come be restored Jesus name just tell the thing to go and thank all for restoration in the kingdom of God come and amen simple just simple and then ask them don't be afraid to ever do this ask them to check that area of their body and and just see what God's doing I've had people that have so learned to live to avoid pain that they're afraid to check their body you have to walk them through that and get them to check themselves I was just in a service how many vertebra do you have in your neck seven seven this lady had six of them cemented surgically six of the seven so guess what she was hey Judy over here she wasn't this she's frozen medically surgically six of the seventh cemented to none assuming everyday wonderful amazing anointed people in Christ that don't even normally pray for this thing stood up and got in the game went over and said neck be healed pain you leave and Judy goes [Music] it's pretty fun huh so pray for him take your time with this don't know anybody strive in this room if I ever feel like I'm striving when I'm praying for the sick who knows what I mean by that you getting your did you get you getting emotional and you're trying to make something happen say the right thing and you just feeling overly intense like job and you start driving if I see myself go in there I back out of that and I release them in faith and I encourage them and what faith is and with all my heart with every ounce of sincerity that I understand I pray the prayer of faith over them and I release them in faith I could stand here for hours until you testimonies about that about going home in the car waking up in the middle of the night two days later I could talk to you for hours stuff that makes me cry I had one lady leave with a crippling disease contorting her body that's how she walked away her husband came to mock her for believing and coming to the service when she wasn't healed and told to knock off this crazy spiritual pursuit her husband the reason he came was to make fun of me and Todd and mock us when his wife wasn't healed and then tell her to stop this foolishness so while we're praying for her he's standing there like this and when her body doesn't change and Todd and I are struggling down striving and talks like a bulldog he's oh dude - - kind of like dude dude and I said ma'am and as soon as I start talking the husband said ah here it goes the cop out stand up there and strut around and preach all this mighty stuff well where is it man where is heckling and talking that point-blank I still listen man - unbelief into the scoffer what I'm saying makes no sense but to a person that understands and beliefs makes total sense I'm just sorry for where your heart is man this is your wife I wish you had compassion and I said listen to me honey and I just faced him out I wasn't being insincere with him I just phased him out because I'm talking to her and I said honey I said listen to me faith it's not a point in time this isn't a hit miss win or lose it's not he did or he didn't we've released the kingdom we lay hands on the sick and the sick recover that's all we know and we don't know how to let go of that and she said you got one response you leave her thankful I'm sorry about your husband I'm sorry about you sir hey it was that bad they walk out she walks to the car you think he'd have compassion you think he'd be broken you can't judge him for that he's just lost she gets in the van they're driving home she starts screaming halfway home screaming what's wrong with you now you're not your nun they told me this whole testimony the next day what's wrong with you no you're not I'm tired of this I'm done with you no you don't understand I feel a hand the presence of a hand inside of my body and it's straightening my bones and he goes star you dog you're not you're not that's what he was calling her he parks in the driveway he says I'm done with you I can't take it no more done with you she slams the door he's walking through the driveway she says honey she's completely normal you say I don't believe that I know unbelief is a problem in the church it came back the next night he cried and repented and I held him under the water till the bubble stopped Jesus what a God huh what a gospel don't you get your eyes on what doesn't seem to be happening get your eyes on what already took place and you release that kingdom of God you release faith in the truth and you love one another in prayer after you pray get them to check their body talk to them don't anyone exaggerate don't you don't you don't you don't you tell them what you think they want you to say and what you think they need to hear and you don't want to hurt their feelings because they're so sincere praying for you and you feel bad because you didn't get healed don't do that say listen actually it's amazing when you touched me I felt things shift immediately and I'm not all the way there as far as 100% but man I can feel God working and I'm telling you it's probably 70% changed already that's an easy response wow that's awesome let's give thanks to God for what he's doing and let's just say more Lord you're a finished work Jesus your blood your body thank you and go for it when I have moment when I see things changing I never stop if I pray three four times and I feel like I'm striving and I don't see any more change I'll back off and release them in a prayer of faith and tell them they have one response you walk out of this situation rejoicing and thank God for the working of faith and the power of his love it's the only response you ever have because faith isn't a point in time it's a position of your heart and it believes what he accomplished in the face of everything so you ask them how they're doing and if they're completely healed that's a no-brainer thank Jesus and thank Jesus for the honor of touching someone in him moving what a joy huh if they're somewhat healed pray again if they tell you I feel the same everything's the same ask if you can pray again and pray again don't change your prayer pray the same way I can't explain this other than sometimes if you're trying to break a hard rock and it doesn't want to break and it seems hard you just hit it again just hit it again you're looking at the hammer and you know this hammer is awesome man Wow it's definitely got enough weight for this rock if I hit this thing and hit this thing it's breaking I am that's the gospel the hammer is heavy enough the rock can't take it because it's not the right Rock right so you ask them and you learn this you learn this in your life you learn this in public you learn this in the marketplace you learn this along the street listen I've pulled my car over just to pray for somebody hurt and walking down the road I it's just starting to me it's it's it's the thing to do and they're freaked out they think it's radical that you parked your car to pray for them and you stopped them every time it's a stop now this are you kidding me let me tell you radical about 2000 or so years ago this innocent man who deserve nothing from men but love and acceptance became sin and took the price of every man's failure fault and hung on the cross and died and shed his great glad and now today I have life because of him that's radical stop in my car to pray for you that's a given he's radical and I'm a product of his love can we pray yeah rarely when you park your car like that to somebody not let you pray most of the time people let you pray so if nothing happens isn't that the reason why people don't pray for the sick their biggest fear is wonder if nothing happens so then you don't pray for the sick and you already lost by default you already got what you fear nothing it's like the children of Israel they lost by default they never faced Goliath so for 40 days you shouted him down and because they stayed in their tents they they lost in those 40 days until David showed up and said guys what are you doing they had already lost do you understand that because they didn't stand up don't pull your hand back stretch your hand forth these signs follow those that believe they'll lay their hands on the so that's yeah I heard Randy Clark say this one time and I loved it he said guys I'm just convinced we need to lay hands on the sick stop thinking so much the more hands we lay on the sick and the more we pray the more things we'll see that's just do it guys and everybody's like yeah I get that I'm like Randy you're awesome so we're gonna do that tonight I know I'm losing some folks it's not because of my preaching it's just late you gonna help me tonight talk to him make a friend grab somebody and tell them your name and ask them why you're praying and why they stood and then pray for them and ask them how their body is doing I'm giving you liberty tonight to pray as long as you two or you three or whatever feel comfortable if they're changed that's a no-brainer if they're somewhat changed go for it again and watch what God's doing if you prayed two more times and it's still 70 percent better men rejoice in that and thank God for a finished work and that he's bringing them to fruition and Wow God and you leave here excited if you ever run into a situation where you see nothing change man we've got to learn how to minister to that and not lose heart and keep them encouraged to not take it personal and say man this is the privet - faith I just laid hands on you believing and released the kingdom I'm believing for a great change that it's not a cop-out when you're sincere that is the truth of the gospel when you understand I can hold you here for hours with those testimonies raise your hands high if you stood up so we don't lose you in a minute we will lose you in the crowd if you don't keep your hand high keep your hand high keep it up until somebody gets to you when somebody has says hey man I'm gonna pray with you put your hand down so they know we've got everybody covered keep it high so you get claimed come on church help me there's a lot of folks come on help me go to them find out who they are you don't gotta wait on me Friday I made you wait on me just do it talk to them ask them why they're standing how you can pray if you didn't get somebody to claim you yet do this with your hands so people see you okay I have a precious young lady over here who can help me is there another young lady that would run to her or do they already get you oh good anybody else that's not claimed wave your hand if we don't have you we got everybody good love one another you pray this out you love each other and pray as long as you feel gracious to pray and we'll see you in the morning mr. Jeff Watley go for it bud we love you pray for one another don't just don't be quick to track me down tonight pray for one another pray for one another Jesus name you don't have to pray real long pray so you don't get self-conscious it's not your prayer that heals anybody it's what he accomplished it's your faith in his love so get them to check their bodies Jesus name
