Dan Mohler - There is Freedom in Jesus

I were to preach a sermon you can preach a theologically correct or dr. correct sermon but more than likely even though the words powerful and anointed to understand you you tend to stir intellect make people think and I'm not saying it's a bad thing but man if you preach out of what you've seen and what you live and what you experience it carries a different weight and it has the ability to go in the heart and illuminate the hearing heart the same way you're illuminated you see what I'm saying so it's just really important never just try to be a Bible teacher be in love with Jesus and gain God experience in your life and live in relationship and then speak out of that place amen it's just important just that's not what I'm teaching on today that just just she just blessed us and I just thought I'd say that so thank you honey yeah all right there's two things I want to accomplish this morning it's my last session with you guys and it's been fun it goes fast I yeah I don't know if it went fast for you but boy it went fast for me this week there's two things in my heart and the one I don't usually do it much anymore but we're really going to talk about healing a little bit today and just talk about some scripture - yeah just to get faith in our hearts so that we can all stay man it's just neat to have a crowd this big if I can preach something and get that thing in you to where it's a seed in you and you can have a foundation to spring from and a truth to grow into you got to understand that we're growing into him in all things so just because something doesn't work the way you were praying doesn't mean it's still not true if you find it in jesus's life and you can see it in jesus's life then you see the father so you know the will of God through Jesus is life so you take something you saw and you pray and it doesn't work out the way you saw it in Jesus's life don't change the truth he's the truth don't let your experience or your lack of experience change what he did and what he said you got to let that be paramount that's locked in so we're growing into him in all things you follow what I'm saying so a lot of people are letting life define God Jesus's life already did define God you don't find God the way life works out you find God through his son when you see him you've already seen the father so you can't say well because this didn't happen and this God must and you know God must be and all sudden we have all these spiritual analogies trying to explain the outcome and define God in the process and then we never know where we're coming or going we're always letting life decide who God is in the moment instead of knowing him and praying from the place that he is you follow me it'll make sense when we talk about healing here a little bit but I want you to understand that I've seen us shift gears a lot we pray and it doesn't happen bill lives Bob dies Bob lives bill dies we'll give him both life and death so we switch it around but but but when we pray for and he lives I'm gay and the other one he dies and then we go WOW well see God doesn't heal everybody well it mustn't be God's will to just heal everybody but boy he will do your bill he just well I guess it was Bob's time and we just say stuff to explain every situation that we don't understand and it's good to just stop trying to fill in the blanks and say you know what there's a place to grow up into Jesus in all things I'm not totally sure why one lived and one died but man I know if Jesus touched him he'd be whole and if Jesus walked in the room and said get up he'd get up he said the things I do you'll do if you believe I'm not letting anything changed my believer I'm going after God and I'm gonna get this thing until my life looks like his I haven't arrived I'm not looking back I'm going after this you're with me all the controversy over healing that you hear out there and all the Christian books that combat each other and the way we've been divided there's no topic bigger than healing probably that's divided the body of Christ because it involves loss sentiments and feelings so people get really intense over the doctrine of healing because we've lost loved ones so we're taking life really personal and this thing has a bite to it and it shows that we're not dead and seeking first the kingdom yeah sometimes you get so troubled about your loved one passing because you prayed and prayed and prayed and then you get defensive and you can hardly speak into the situation and we've done ourselves injustice because a lot of people just presumption say well you just didn't have any faith well please don't tell people that that are caring for their loved one and praying and doing everything they know don't just say well you didn't have no faith if you had faith they'd have been healed you just be careful with that and there's no there's a way see jesus said to his disciples they said why couldn't we heal the boy in matthew 17 and he said because of your unbelief he didn't say cuz you ain't got no faith when he said because of your unbelief it translates into because of what you fail to see now you be honest when your loved ones hurtin you see that a lot of times way more than you've ever seen the revelation you're hoping manifests what you see is a withering loved one what you see is someone in trouble what you see is somebody you can hardly recognize anymore and then you get reduced to quoting a principle that you read in your Bible or you heard from a pulpit that if you say this this should work this is not a magic formula it's a revelation we walk in that's backed by Authority it's not abracadabra we're not Jesus name we're not trying to find a rabbit in a hat we're not saying a formula presto in fact using the Lord's name in vain everybody thinks that swearing I use illustrations for the pulpit probably some of the only major criticism emails I get is people say I can't believe you say oh my god when you preach that is so like blasphemous and people are going to get turned off by that and I just use it for examples and I don't I don't say to my everyday language but but but people get really bothered by that and say that's using the Lord's name in vain no using the Lord's name in vain is without any effect in power if he's named above every name and every knee is gonna bow and tongue confess if you speak in mountains move and we say in the name of Jesus and nothing changes that's probably using his name in vain so rather than get troubled by that and rewrite theology and try to explain away our troubled hearts at the cost of truth which makes us free we should probably get humble and say teach me and grow me because if you touch them they'd be changed so get me to the place I see you so that who you are becomes the expression of my life but I'm not changing my mind you said whatever I asked him printer believing it shall be done if I say to the mountain move it shall move you didn't lie the evidence of faith is the mountain moving not me speaking to it so grow me into a place Lord and let me walk in the place you abide because the Christ in me is the hope of glory and I will not change my theology because of my experience to protect my soul I will live out of my spirit and humble myself under the mighty hand of God and you'll lift me up in a revelation and I'll see more than I've ever seen before cuz I'm not changing my mind you're the truth and I see the father through you here with me come on I'm talking from a place where my own mother died and was sick for 40 years so don't tell me I don't understand I changed her diapers and carried her to bed don't even try to tell me I don't understand your mother's a pretty special person in your life to a young man most the time most the time you have struggles with dad but mom's stay special don't tell me I don't understand don't say well you don't know what it's like to lose somebody I've lost friends to cancer but I've seen people healed of cancer and I know we're onto something and we're not gonna change what we believe cuz they died and we're gonna get sentimental and take that personal we're gonna take this personal until this overtakes everything I don't care what denomination you are I don't care what you grew up in it's a no-brainer question wherever you grew up in church whatever denomination if you say if Jesus walked in the room and touched the sick person that you love what would happen nobody would have to think about their answer they'd be said well they would be healed I don't care what denominator you could go to a diocese cessationist setting and asked that question and they'd say well he'd be healed but we're not Jesus well no we're not no one ever said we are but he's in us and Christ in us the hope of glory the body of Christ as the father sent me so I send you if you have faith you'll say to the mountain move in the mountain to move and nothing will be impossible for you why do we miss all that scripts are religiously saying yeah but we're not Jesus of course we're not Jesus but he lives in us and we're the body of Christ which literally means the embodiment of the anointing this thing is so simple when we fight over it because we're sentimental and we have issues because we've lost loved ones so we're trying to defend our feelings instead of grow in the gospel anybody that's ever got heated with me over healing I've had a few not many it's because they lost one lost a mother confronted me because he lost a mother he doesn't know my mother's laying with tubes hanging out of her body while he's yelling at me so he thinks I don't understand maybe I do see here's the thing about the gospel I don't have to have used heroin and been addicted to minister to a heroin addict it's the anointing that sets you free not relativity it's not relating it's the gospel I don't have to have been touched wrong to minister to somebody touched wrong I don't have to have been through ritual abuse to have the answer for a person that has been through ritual B's but we think that you have to understand if you're gonna reach me what I understand is he loves you and the lie that was set against your life that's trying to destroy you is in fact a lie and you have a greater destiny than your yesterday that's what I need to know and I need to know that you're worth the blood of Jesus Christ and his Spirit is just waiting to come upon you and if you'll just dare believe that you're not what you were yesterday and you're what he paid for today man you can reach anybody I've seen people so addicted on drugs I remember a girl the family to know what to do with her she could not stop using heroin and and her and her husband was grieving and she's running out there doing wild off-the-wall things and they said would you talk to her and I said how would the gladly meet with her and I met with her in my office and we and I was pastoring full time I don't have the same grace and in timeframe and people know me now back then nobody knew me but jesus knew me and my sphere of influence knew that I knew Jesus and I had fun in my life as a pastor and they brought her into my office and I didn't have a schedule like I have now and I didn't have a thousand people emailing me to call them and pray with them and you have people knocking on my door except a couple people from church now and then please don't knock on my door people have been coming to my house knocking on my door in the middle of the night because they find it in Scripture and I'm a brother and I'm supposed to if they keep knocking answer don't do that to each other that's why you have Church ministry family body of Christ if all of a sudden it's one or two people or five or 12 or 20 or a hundred that have a revelation or a gift or in an umbrella of anointing and you got to get under it to be healed those people are in trouble they're going to get thronged and overwhelmed and there's nothing it's not the body of Christ it's us doing what you guys are here for I'm just happy about this this is awesome it is it's it's like come on yeah so don't come to my house but but I love you but I asked her a couple questions that I minister to her and it's discernment you Minister through discernment there's no textbook to help people addicted you got touched the individual it's not how do i minister to there's no book on it stop writing those books that don't work they're not it's not a method some--you snaps how the fire song you save with compassion your to discern the difference in your relationship with Holy Spirit and if you don't have an intimate relationship with Holy Spirit why are you trying to help them you can you can't minister to them because it's the power of God that changes things it's not your counsel it's the anointing of heaven yeah you know you're not going to talk them into not using heroin you teach them who they are you you trust that Holy Spirit's gonna capture their heart and that they're sincerely through repentance gonna cry out and ask Jesus to set them free or look at you and for a glimmer just sincerely say I don't want this any more or something and then you cease that and you go after that and heaven comes and goes BAM I've seen it a bunch that that girl there was no hope for her her family was giving up on her but they loved her and and and I watched her quiver when she prayed I saw her quiver and she leaned back in her head hit a locker real soft not hard and she just looked like she was going to slide down the Locker and I kind of embraced her and I said it's okay that's Jesus he loves you and when she opened her eyes she didn't even know why she ever used heroin I've seen that quite a bit now when I see her testimony you're power love you know what happens I'll get 500 emails in the next week let's say my relatives addicted that you need to talk to them that's what will happen that's why I don't even share testimonies anymore anybody that follows and listens if you notice I don't share testimonies like that from the pulpit for probably the last year and a half because it creates this bum-rush of need that says I need what's in your life and the whole reason we're up here is saying it's in all of us we're not ministers we're believers were sons and daughters I don't minister before I'm a son I'm Minister cuz I'm a son like I know I know I never wanted to pastor I told my church no three times and they said did you even pray about it I said I didn't even think about it I don't need a pastor badge Jesus is him I told him I'm a warehouse worker in love with Jesus and Jessica's God's moving through me doesn't mean I'm in leadership and they went and my pastor said would you go ask the Lord if he wants you to pastor I said I can do that and it was funny cuz I walked in my bedroom that's where I like to go and before I even closed the door the spirit of Lord came over me and I never even talked to him he just knew I was coming of course and it wasn't like he wasn't shuffling through papers do we have an appointment are you supposed to be here I'm meeting someone else no he knows me and he knows why I'm coming just like he knows you same the same and he said Dan it's okay I want you to do this I put grace in your life too pastor and I said I'm a veteran cried cuz I knew it was the Lord and I'm zero administrative I've never been to Bible School I squeezed through City Schools who lowered their curriculum to get the students through and I am NOT an intelligent man my buddy calls me Father wisdom it's hilarious I got saved my hair started turning white it was funny I was in my 30s I started peppering right away when I got saved I said it's something's going on people said are you stressed out and I said I don't even know what you're talking like I don't even know what stress is my wife's laying in a coma and I can't relate to stress because I'm not the husband of a wife in a coma before I'm a son in the Lord and the only way I can address this is because of this and if I'm becoming this and running this way I'm in big trouble and this is a formula that I'm hoping is working I'm full of fear and there's no authority through fear you have no authority over what you fear Israel had Goliath defeated before he even opened his mouth but because they didn't face him and listen to what he said they were losing by default for 40 days if any one of them would have just stood up and faced him in the Covenant of God he was outside of that box he was done for the Lord was with them they listened to his threats and looked at his sighs looked with her eyes thought with their mind and every day they didn't confront him they sat under the yoke of Goliath shadow you see it in the church then you got young little whippersnapper David coming along well why are you guys why don't you go out and take him out like he's an uncircumcised Philistine he doesn't have a covenant with God he's already done little kid from the Shepherd's just from the field probably smells he's just he's a little kid they're like dogs Jamie you're proud and who do you think oh yeah whippersnapper he's like King I'll take this dude out if nobody else is ready you read the story it's phenomenal of course David had a calling of course David had a God had a planning God but don't tell me that if anybody else would have stood up in the boldness of David in the faith that David the God when the backed it the reason the little boy had to stand up as because nobody else would she had already been a done deal that's why he was surprised why why why is he still standing there why are you guys enduring this every day yak yak yak yak somebody needs to take a dude out I'll do it they know funny it's amazing you know they send all the spies out into the land and they spy out the land that was promised to them it's it's your land they go out there and say wow there's giants in the land it's an amazing land the grapes are like bigger than us high that's a little exaggeration but they carried them between two men they said surely it's a land of milk and honey just like God said but we'll never take it the people are too big and they out for us we're like grasshoppers in their sight and two youngsters probably the youngest of the spies if you look at it chronologically they were the youngest of the spies I imagine they said what are you guys talking about of course we can take the land God said it's ours and over a million people believe the bad report and wanted to stone the two for saying we can take the land no wonder when you preach on healing they want to crucify no wonder when you preach on hope and the power of God and yes he can people want to call your heretic and say chill out face reality brother because that mentality has been on people since Adam ate that tree and just because you name the name of the Lord doesn't mean you think like him live like him and have him in you so be real careful cuz if your heart gets agitated by people like me it's not because I'm wrong it's cuz something's wrong because if I was wrong and you knew God you would cry for me not get mad at me if I was that lost you'd understand I'm a living soul and if you really look at me you can tell I'm sincere I'm not a wolf in sheep's clothing I never get called that you can tell I at least believe what I'm saying so if you thought I was that twisted man you should be fasting and praying for me that I'd come to the knowledge of truth not writing bad things you just prove you don't know him when you act like that you proved your presumptious and you think you know about that person but you reveal you don't know him all I know is this why always yet a sinner Christ died for me it doesn't say why you were yet a sinner Christ blogged about you and shared negative news said he gave his life I guess if we really knew him we'd give our life for one another huh here's the other thing I learned when it comes to healing and they the main pressure you get is from people that don't believe in healing so they have no experience in healings so they don't even pray for the sick so they're there nothing is there validation when they say God doesn't heal it's because they've never experienced healing because they don't pursue it because they don't believe it dangerous position because then anybody that Church who truly has received a healing in their life since they've been saved in this room not even just at this conference but just in your life I healing now you look at all the hands that are raised now watch when you take the position that God doesn't heal then when you raise your hand you're either deceived an emotional list a liar or of the devil there's no other answer then you force yourself into that box and that's what the Pharisees always said about Jesus it's dangerous company look when you take that strong stand that he doesn't heal then you make everybody with a healing testimony a liar do you see how subsys it is wow did you see all the hands that raised now watch this let me ask you another question so how many of us have prayed for something but it never changed or we didn't see a change in the person's life Wow as many if not more hands huh that right there is what creates the problem so we assess intellectually get away from the word spiritually analyze and come up with answers to try to settle our quandary almost assume an arrogant position that hey if I prayed it it should have happened because I believed in if it's faith and God said it it should have happened so obviously he didn't will to heal did you ever hear that did you ever hear somebody say whoa it's just a season of grace in their life God chose not to heal Todd talked about the thorn a little yesterday they say remember Paul he decided not to heal him just sustained him by grace God's just gonna work his glory through their sickness you ever hear all that when did you ever hear Jesus say anything like that when did Jesus ever say go get more faith than you can be healed when did you ever see Jesus turn somebody away and say I'd love to heal you but it's just not your time God wants you to go through a season because he's trying to form you in a couple areas of your life when did anybody hear Jesus say any of those things have you ever heard Christians say them and write books saying that where do they get the inspiration human intellect because Jesus never said any of those things did Jesus ever say any of those things and when you see him you see the father so is the father saying any of those things jesus said I only say what I hear him why didn't Jesus ever say any of those things cuz father never did so why do we because we're trying to make intellectual sense through natural facts and we're missing spiritual truth and I'm not being mean it's a form of pride because you're assuming your knowledge is greater than the word it's a puffed up place because when my mother dies and I start writing why God doesn't heal based on that experience now I'm living outside of Jesus's life and I'm writing theology outside of truth yeah I'm already on a roll but thanks for the encouragement are you guys getting some of those can you see that I'm not picking a fight with anybody my own mother died of sickness she was sick for 40 years I started to believe wrong things because I was young in the Lord when I did say very zealous so I saw a couple miracles right aligator I've run right over to mom mom you're getting healed I'm fired up I told her I'm gonna make a covenant with her agreement with her I'm gonna come to her house every day before work till I see her healed I'm gonna pray for her she said okay my mom was sweetest thing ever she didn't walk for 15 years she was in bed for 15 years and didn't walk she was sick for forty and drugged her body through the house she'd mess herself couldn't get to the bathroom we'd have to have to change my own mother tell me I don't get it forty years is a long time on the fourth day I went in her house and when I opened the door she felt the presence of Lord come over her in her left side which hadn't moved for years was tingling in her hand was going like this so I walked in and I'm jealous anyway I'm in love with Jesus I'm like a freight train and I come in the house I said hey mom and she said she's leaning back I said are you okay she said yeah I said what's going on she said the presence of the Lord came on me as soon as you turn the doorknob look at my hand and I'm I fired up praying walking through the house joy in Jesus praying in tongues she sat she watched she watched TV all the time cuz she was house bound it's kinda like somebody takes pain meds all of a sudden they're addicted to him and don't even realize it she's a Christian lady she has a little daily devotional stuff she prays talks the Lord but she got in this pattern because she couldn't walk she's house bound she's in house she had a visiting nurse she got in this habit TV got her through the day I don't panic I'm not preaching legalism here I won't you understand something I'm preaching what I started to believe because of what I saw and then I let my belief rest on something and I got way deceived she's watching you you guys know the older folks here all know there's an old show called Perry Mason she used to like that kind of stuff it's all fiction but she'd like the way it worked out and the smarts of Perry Mason and how it all wow I get it and all the pieces come together she was entertained she's watching Perry Mason and the president's Lord comes on her she's moving her left hand for the first time in years so I'm all fired up you can imagine I'm months old in the Lord and I'm just raged you know and I'm like mom when's the last time you prayed in tongues cuz she said that's so beautiful you're praying in tongues I said well you were baptized in the Spirit of God when I was a kid I remember you praying in tongues when you were in their mid upper 20s and I was just little and I didn't even understand she said yeah and I said well don't you pray in tongues she said I haven't for years why I don't know I said mom she's like it was just fun so mom's just getting rekindled crying I would talk to her and she just cries she said your heart so pure when you talk it makes me cry like Jesus changed me mom and it was this fun so on that day she's moving her hand and the TV's on loud and I said mom I'm gonna turn that off she said okay I couldn't it off because she was staring at it I muted it and she was looking at it I turned it off now think about this her left hands moving you put yourself in somebody else's shoes and you think what they should be I'm thinking she should be freaking out and she seemed kind of a little stoic not much but she was excited but she wasn't like wow she was just look at this I'm like mom you haven't done that for how long she said years I said that's the Lord she said yeah it has to be I said you're being healed I said it's gonna be your elbow your shoulder your leg Wow so I'm like so I prayed over I had to get to work I prayed over she's sitting there she's peaceful and as I'm going out the door she said hey I said yeah I'll see you tomorrow mom she said can you flip the TV back on quick she said just leave it play I want to see who did that and I didn't realize how I came across I must have been like what you don't realize how you touch people when you're zealous and they're not as zealous as you I actually condemned her and I didn't know it I made her feel bad and I didn't know it because I was so jealous I said what you want me to turn on the TV mom you're sitting in the presence of God in your left hands moving are you kidding I'm not turning on the TV you don't need to TV on Dan the Lord's not going to get mad if I watch the end of Perry Mason I said well I don't think he's going to get mad but why would you even want to mom and I'm starting on this thing and I'm trying to make her feel like I would if I was her did you ever do that did you ever get overzealous and push a family member away and think you were just preaching and their heart might have been hard no maybe you went beyond grace and tried to push your zeal on them and maybe you passed by grace do you get excited about something and you want everybody you care about the most to be just excited so you run and share your excitement and when they don't go you're wondering why they're not all excited and next thing you know in a minute you're not even excited anymore because they didn't react you see why you're laughing so hard cuz everybody knows exactly what I'm talking about and none of that stuff ever happens in the kingdom angel sit and go what in the world are they doing what is this new thing cuz it's not the kingdom itself stuff it's crazy so I left and she said and I turned the TV on but I must have been like oh okay whatever I don't understand but see you tomorrow I come in the next day and I walk through the door and I'm all excited and she's just sitting there I said hey mom she said hi I said how are you doing I'm okay I said is your hand still moving she said yeah I said you ready pray she said well I need to talk to you about that I just don't think I'm ready to be healed I was like what do you mean you were never ready to be sick do you know we pray for people that have been through terrible sickness and we go to pray for them and they say I'm just ready to go don't ever sell out to that you don't have to tell them you're still praying for him but don't just say wow they don't want to be healed they're ready to go the only reason they're ready to go is because they lost sight of what it's like to be whole because they've suffered so much if they were healed in a second they wouldn't even think they're ready to go they would even think about that the only reason they're ready to go is because they're overwhelmed by the sickness that's not some hard thing where God is blocking all your prayers because of their will I hear people teach that they're they're deceived they're overwhelmed by sickness so if Jesus walked in and just took their hand and lifted him up out of the bed do you think they'd go No what did you do oh no I was ready to go the people that tell you they're ready to go it's cuz they've been through so much pain in their sickness and hell they're just ready to go it's understandable but we think that's their will and it can't be overridden I've been in hospital rooms one specific room where the whole family said Dan you need to know when to just resolve this thing none of us are in faith for that and we're just ready to let him go and I said guys I'm your pastor and I love you and you know I love you I'm not trying to agitate you or offend you but you show me where that's even or prerogative for you to say I'm just ready to go when it's not your life why is it even your prerogative because maybe Jesus isn't ready for you to go maybe he has a nation waiting for you like when is it your decision when you seek first the kingdom this stuff puzzles me I've seen it a lot and I see us really highly regard each other's opinions and wills I'd rather try to challenge a will if I don't see it Kingdom in that situation it's years and years ago I was just starting pastoring a couple times I got accused of being insensitive in green and need to grow a mature a little well I'll take those prayers all you want pray for me about that I will take that grace but I remember that man's liver got completely healed and he never died and the whole family was when I walked in they were all crying cuz the doctor just left the room and said there's no hope and they just said look this thing's just at a place where just let him go he's lived a pretty long life and a good life and I said I don't understand that I'm gonna pray for him to live and I'm sorry don't get mad at me well we're ready to let him go I walked over and I said buddy I'm just gonna believe with you please can I they were like we'd rather you just go and not pray I said please just let me pray if he's gonna go anyway I guess it won't matter if I pray huh well if you need to pray see they were fighting this in their emotions do you know why people say well man that'd be awesome if it happened but if I were you I'd just be careful about getting your hopes up that is self-preserving I don't want you to get your hopes up because I would hate to see you heartbroken you let down so when people say that what are they trying to do protect you as an individual but the Bible says faith is the substance of things so when a Christian sentimentally tells another Christian if I were you I wouldn't get my hopes up is it scriptural you say well Hope deferred makes the heart sick brother that's the point when do you ever let your hope get deferred why don't we always read scripture on the surface and say well that just be man yeah yeah yeah oh yeah yeah Oh when you live hopeless who's ever lived hopeless honestly for a season in something you were hopeless was it the most miserable awful place to be it's because you're never created to be hopeless the devil is the only one hopeless he's the only one hopeless there's no chance for repentance his day is sealed times coming Jesus comes as a man and powered by God walking on the earth and the spirits realize it's Jesus evil spirits go oh it's you cuz they know Jesus but he's in a man's body they get near him perceived the anointing and all the sudden Christ is coming out and they go it's you and they bow immediately and cower and say are you here to torment us before our time why there's no thing they can do to stop that day they look over their shoulder every day wondering if today's the day he's coming they live in fear and they love when people made in the simultaneity of God live hopeless they can't go two feet God but they are sure they can defeat you and God in you and get you to become just like them and that's their goal and that's their mission to reproduce after their own kind he loves when you fight he loves when you bicker he loves when you badmouth somebody cuz he's winning he's not impressed with our worship he's impressed with your love your humility your obedience to the word he's not impressed with our Christian t-shirts he's not impressed with our Flags our giftings he's impressed with our sincere surrender and the integrity of Christ of flows through our lives because there's nothing he can do to touch that the ruler of this world cometh and has nothing in me jesus said that the one that said follow me the one that said the things I do you'll do the Bible says he that keeps himself the evil one touches him not you wanna feel what I feel you feel a little that right there do you feel that see that's not my fault it's not cuz I'm somebody believe he loves when I talk like this he really does it agitate some people but man he inspires me sometimes to go hear people say do you see him strutting on the stage you have no idea when you feel what I'm feeling right now I probably look like I'm strutting cuz I've got and all the sudden you understand no fear all of a sudden you understand you love not your own life I know they understand you he's the Lord he's the Lord and all the sudden you're not reduced to surviving and making it and getting by and breakthrough and provision he's the Lord and it's a big deal yeah and I won't be reduced to hopeless and fear driven and frustrated and angry and opinionated and jealous and proud why because none of those things were me or you from the beginning they were what we became through Adam and you must be born again why we preach a born-again and allows all those things to stay as normal it's beyond me it said it's a deception born again is born again die live new way the way you guys good I didn't cover this healing thing so great yet I don't know what I'm doing right now I feel like a rooster [Laughter] yeah man oh man let me take you let me do one thing we we used preaches a lot together Todd now in power love I haven't preached this for a long time I don't I don't even talk about healing that much I I get up in the platforms you don't understand that I don't have a plan I'm not thinking okay I got five sessions at this church this weekend I'll cover this this is it's never that way I don't even think about what I'm gonna say I touch the love people talk get to know the pastor and leaders having a good time and next thing you know I'm up there and I flip the mic on and I'm on a journey with you I'm honest you the way we preach you know we can't have this prepared like half the time I don't know where I'm at and towards the end I'm like oh that's so awesome I see now yeah like I'm on a journey I'm just having fun man I once you go to Matthew 17 with me quickly we'll cover this I did share some important things with healing just with foundation believe here's what here's what I believe Holy Spirit wants to accomplish this morning that a room of this size we could just settle on one thing and not fight over it and then purpose to grow into the expression of the one thing we believe that God is a healer that he wants to heal that he paid the price to heal and the earth he gave to the children of men and we're gonna grow up into him live without fear walk and authority and we're gonna see what jesus promised cuz we're not changing our mind Healing is the will of God and it's for today we got to believe that or you'll never have faith to pray for the sick faith begins where the will of God is realized the reason so many people don't have faith they're still questioning the will of God we throw it around like a hot potato who can know the will of God or you're supposed to the Bible says don't be unwise in Ephesians 5:17 understand the will of the Lord Romans 12:2 says don't be conformed to the world be transformed by the renewing of your mind so you can prove the good acceptable and perfect will of God we're supposed to know the will of God how can we possibly know the mysterious will of God it's not mysterious the mysteries revealed it's Christ Jesus is the will of a father revealed when you see me you've seen him how can you say show us the father he's already been shown yeah but you know what analytical tendency is and the way that seemeth right to man and human intellect it just keeps jumping in the way keep assessing God along the way to finding God along the way writing books to reveal God through your own personal experiences but it's at the cost of truth and truths which make you free and that's why there's not a lot of freedom in folks because they don't know what to believe how are you going to pray for the sick if you're not sure it's the will of God to heal how you gonna spray for the sick with confidence did I take you to Matthew 17 okay okay good cuz right now I'm gonna go to second Corinthians chapter one go there with me it's not my fault I just got instruction you should have heard it it came from the control center I promise second Corinthians chapter 1 Matthew 17 was the real good idea we might get there but one of the oaths came out of good on that last suggestion and it was golf second Corinthians chapter 1 verse 15 Paul's writing to the Corinthians and in this confidence I intended to come to you before I just want you to be up to speed that's why I'm starting in 15 that you might have a second benefit he's talking to the Corinthians because he's going back and forth he's on his way to Macedonia and then he's coming back through and what he's saying is man I came by you guys on purpose this was something I saw in the Lord so he could have a second benefit you guys loaded me up with everything I needed for the sake of Christ for the cause of the kingdom man you dealt with me as a brother his family as a minister of the Lord were all one you gave me everything necessary to do what God was wanting me to do and you loaded me up and on my way back I wanted to give you a second benefit and let you colabor and partner with where I'm heading and I pass back by so you could do that for me again that's what he's saying he's not taking an offering he's saying empower me to get to where I need to go and do what God's calling me to do are you following he said I intended to come to you before that you might have a second matter to pass by way of you to Macedonia and then come again from Macedonia back by you and be helped by you on my way to Judea what's he saying guys I've laid down my life I'm going after the kingdom I'm going from city to city preaching the gospel I'm getting stoned I'm getting beat I'm getting whipped but I don't love my own life or counted dear I'm gonna fulfill the will of God will you help me get to Judea that's why he came back now watch therefore when I was planning to do this man he shifts totally spiritual now watch when I was planning to do this did I do it lightly or the things that I planned do I plan according to the flesh just human need hey maybe uh uh you know I wonder if those guys and Corinthians will help me again maybe I should just swing by and see if though maybe they'll give me some food in a little cash he swapped the things that I planned do I plan according to the flash watch he goes spiritual that with me there should be a yes yes and no no what's he saying he's saying the flesh is indecisive when you live in the flesh one day you're saying yes the next day you're saying no you're saying hey maybe I'll come and see you and you never show up when you live in the flesh with you there's a yes and enough but he says the gospel that I brought to you as God is faithful our word to you was not yes and no for the Son of God Jesus Christ who was preached among you by us by me so ladies Timothy was not yes and no but in him was yes are there promises for healing in the Bible is there are you sure okay so there is your confident okay so for all how many all the promises are their promises for healing okay for all the promises of God in him are all the promises are what then where do we get a know because we've discerned the doctrine of healing through the flesh through the people that didn't get healed when we prayed and now we have a maybe he will maybe he won't but that's pray and see there's zero faith in that so if you marry yes and you marry no guess who their children are maybe so maybe not let your yes be yes and your anything else is of the evil one why do we have a yes and no doctrine concerning healing because it came from the evil one and we've intellectually received it and assess it through the facts and the way that seems right to a man keeps leading to destruction but gospel isn't yes and no the Gospels yes in amen in him it was yes for how many promises do you have promises for healing all the promises of God in him are now watch this and in him don't think the devil doesn't know these scriptures watch and in him so be it watch to the glory of God through so where's the healing flowing through you see why we've been targeted with unbelief if every promise is to the believer and you were the enemy what would you try to confuse and mix up what men believe in you'd get them to fight over it instead of love one another and you get them to take their losses personal and take the fact that their mother died and let them internalize it and fester when somebody preaches God's will to heal when you prayed and prayed and prayed and watched them die I know I backed off the story with my mother don't think I need to go back there actually I don't need to share that God's got me right here this is right where we need to be I just believe the wrong thing about my brother for a long time and I believe she couldn't be healed because she didn't want to be healed and that wasn't true I should just went in there every day and just kept praying these signs shall follow those who it doesn't say these signs shall follow those that believe that are sick who's representing the kingdom most of the time to a sick person the Christian so guess what he's called to be I believer in the signs follow those who he'll lay his hands on the sick why is he after lay his hands on the sick because Christ is in you and you and I are supposed to understand when you lay your hands on the sick he's going to flow through you and touch them you say well God could just do it if he wants to he's God I get that but why is that even a comment in US you can't heal anybody but he tells you to heal the sick he expects you to understand that were one and he put himself in you because he wants to live in you and flow through you because he gave the earth to the children of men and he wants to reveal himself through people this thing's not hard is every promise yesterday man is the promises for healing so there yes but we haven't seen them always answered and then we get quandary and complex be honest with me did you ever pray because you were frustrated did you ever pray because you were scared did you ever pray because you were overwhelmed did you ever pray because you were desperate most the time that's where everybody seems to be praying from so we have these fear lines called prayer lines and we think with technology if we can get the more people pray in the better and it's all driven by fear because the problems so big you're hoping we can get enough people to crack the egg when one has faith says to the mountain it moves its fear line I'm not against prayer lines I'm against fear see what no way yeah immediately just look you got to pray someone so just we got to pray get it all over put it on Facebook yeah okay I can't tell you how many times that calls come to me and I stopped getting them to even tell me what happened and I say listen first thing I need you to do is calm down okay take a deep breath no I can tell it's a serious situation I understand just calm down we're gonna pray you got to get that thing out of there how many times have we been that way prayed prayed prayed and nothing changed more than we can remember how many times will be impossible situations and it changed that's way the to because the not change far has outweighed the change and let's look at our disposition where we're coming from I'm praying and let's learn from it not create theology through it if you become a product of what you're going through and you start praying we don't pray because we're afraid we're gonna die we pray cuz we're promised life and we have a will of God to fulfill on the earth we have destiny to write you're not praying to survive you're praying to do all that he's called you to you're asking for another day because you're willing to live it in here you're not asking another day cuz you want to see your grandkids I'm a grandpa don't get mad at me I understand what I'm saying don't get mad at me or that gives you away be honest we pray more because we want to see our grandkids than because we want to live the will of God and this gospel has become sentimentally driven and we're trying to survive and don't realize it somebody's got to call that thing blow a whistle and say hey what are we doing that stop being so sentimentally driven of course I want to see my granddaughter I'm not praying for another day to see my granddaughter I'm praying because the will of God needs to be fulfilled on the earth and in that will of God being fulfilled of course I get to enjoy my granddaughter but unless you love less all these things you'll by no means be my disciple so you can't let the centum in a family rise above the call of the kingdom are you okay all the promises of God are yes enemy Inhumans to the glory of God through us and Ephesians 3 to God be all the glory right you can do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask think or imagine through the power that worketh in us he never separates us and then we say well that was God and he wants to be God through us are you with me now we can go to Matthew 17 Oh verse 21 though you don't have to go back there just let me read it this is good now he who establishes us with you in Christ the one that's done this and has anointed us so guess what you are oh brother I just need the anointing no you got to start believing you're annoying it brother you need to pray for me for the anointing no I'm not you need to start believing you're anointed do you many times I walked in my bedroom when you weren't looking father I just thank you you live in me and you've anointed me I thank you that when I touch you touch father when these hands lay upon sickness sickness flees because you're the Lord and you live in me father I thank you that your lordship rules my life and you've anointed me my cup is full and running over you've strengthened me like the wild ox I can't be yoked no one's gonna bind me to do their will I'm here to do yours Lord thank you for the anointing of God upon my life I've walked my bedroom floor and done that countless times when you weren't looking and then you see me in the passion and here a testimony and this where it comes from and you just call a gifting if you're not careful and say give it to me brother I can't give you my relationship but I can sure encourage you to develop one until you you have as much access to him as I ever will and he knows your name yeah isn't that good Matthew 17 and then I gotta quit I got a time frame Tom will be on me he won't let me come back to any power in love stop that I'm trying to calm down Matthew 17 verse 14 you're gonna have to stop that we don't have much time [Applause] Matthew 17 is an interesting chapter Jesus takes Peter James and John and takes them off on a mountain right mountain of Transfiguration Jesus literally turns inside out and the glory that's in him shines round about they look and go whoa kingdom of God they want to build it to a little thing there right and and and and and God says this is my beloved son hear him they come down you got to be careful when you read this stuff you got to realize and think through it don't go fast it's not a Bible story don't just try to read it to quote it kept so everything in there like you got to make sure that the nine that aren't with the three you got to make sure that if you're in that nine you're not standing or going why he always take Peter James and John no this is real I mean I laid my dive down to how come they always get to go to places with him and I don't get to go why is he so success he's so biased he's clicky he's got favorites.i oh this is real you gotta look at that stuff and say man I don't ever want that to be me I don't want to be an offended disciple I don't want to say well Jesus spends more time with so-and-so and he's more person know well son you got issues with Jesus the one you say you're following and worse yet issues with your brothers cuz they got a special in oh this stuff's real you better make sure that's never you you better make sure that you didn't learn that from Adam and didn't get that driven out of you through the new truth that came through Jesus you got to get that out of it you can't bring Jesus into that it doesn't fit that's a forced leg oh it won't work these guys seven chapters before went out two by two and healed the sick and did miracles are you aware that Jesus sent them out two by two in Matthew 10 so in Matthew 17 you know word spreads people talk right they can't find Jesus they got this boy who's going into violent seizures it's epilepsy and it's intense and it's it's violent it's demonic and they can't find Jesus but they see the nine that are running with Jesus they don't see 12 they see nine they don't know where Jesus is I imagine they approached him recognize they're his disciples they knew that they went out and already did miracles in his name I'm sure they wouldn't probably approached him or they might have said it's all speculation at this point they might have came up and said where's the teacher we're not really sure Peter James and John and him took off that way why well my son is oh man we'll pray for him he gave us authority no matter how it happened at some point the man had the disciples pray for the boy and we ought to pay attention to it and talk about it a lot because it's the only time in the New Testament when men prayed and it didn't happen concerning healing and since it's happened to us a lot and Jesus had a lot to say about it we probably oughta talk about it when they had come to the multitude that's Jesus Peter James and John come back to the multitude a man came to him kneeling down and saying lord have mercy on my son he's an epileptic he suffered severely for he often falls into the fire off and into the water watch tough right here man it's happened to us it's happened to every one of us that's ever got involved in praying for the sick so I brought him so I brought him to your disciples why not who else am I going to you you sent these boys out there doing this stuff they're anointed so I brought him to your disciples but they could not cure him bummer huh seriously I fighting back tears that's a bummer you ever hold a child dying of cancer I've been in the middle of this thing for a long time I've seen a few that had to die according to medical diagnosis and they left but man I've I've seen I've seen one too many that had to die according to medical diagnosis die and I want him to live but you can't get afraid you can't get in a quandary you got to take the next one in your arms you gotta hold on and know he loves him and he paid a price and he lives in you and you can't produce the thing you can't plead him back but man you can believe yeah I'll be honest there was times that what I saw was over the head of where I had grown are you with me I've been called into the back curtains of emergency rooms and what you see I walked into a place where a guy I knew was in a coma for months and when I was like I'll go pray for him I was seeing so many things in my life and I walked in the room presumptuously I'll go pray for him I walked in the room and it didn't even look like the man I knew and my heart shrank and I cried and realized I wasn't prepared for what I saw and I cried and I wept and I turned and I left the room and went back to my bedroom and repented for presumption and said God forgive me for not being prepared what I saw wrecked me I would have been religious to try to pray I was so shaken and I knelt and I prayed and I read a couple Psalms and I got my heart prepared based on what I knew I was walking into called his wife we went we put our hands over him like this I've never done it since don't write a book on it man this book craze everything we turn everything Holy Spirit does by inspiration into a Christian method and lose the power and spontaneity of the praying for a demon-possessed lady one time and the Lord said sing this song I didn't know it was a song that moved her heart and it was her favorite Christian song but I've never done it since you don't write a book to sing over the demonic and songs of deliverance and you listen to Holy Spirit and do what he says [Applause] administering to a boy or a man and I see a boy 12 years old on the street of New York crying mommy mommy and the man's 35:38 his wife's eight years older her complaint in their counseling session was I always feel like his mother he always treats me like a mother not a wife I want to be his love of his life not his mother and I couldn't break through and I'm I'm talking and I get this picture of a boy 12 or he ain't 12 and I said why do I see a 12 year old crying on the streets of New York and he went crying mom on the street and he went and I've never seen a man since then cry so hard in my life he couldn't breathe he went hysterical and he curled up in a fetal position in his chair and fell screaming shaken his condition so broke the heart of his wife who wouldn't even look at him in the room they were acting like they weren't even saved she ran and cuddled him and started crying cuz mercy flooded her heart when he got up and told us the story his mom was a heroin addict and she hansel and gretel dim on the street because she couldn't take care of him so when he was 12 she took him into the crowds of New York and disappeared in an alley and left him and he never saw his mother again he ran to his aunt and uncle's crying and said he's so innocent he said I lost mom I don't know what happened to mom they knew she's a heroin addict and they're like oh my gosh we'll just take you in okay couple days later they find her dead in an alley somewhere they decided to keep the honor of mother and not share what happened and just say she passed from whatever at a young age his wife didn't even know the story so he is using his wife to take the place of this whole mother deficit so watch Holy Spirit gave me the vision you tell the story people go wow that's amazing and then we create ministries and think everybody needs their past healed if Holy Spirit doesn't give you the vision and take you there why are you going there and why do you ask him to take you there when your to live forward so it's gotten so extreme that now there's ministries that say they're hearing in the Lord your mother said this when you were inside her it's demonic God is not putting a hurdle on the track of your identity for you to jump he's not giving you knowledge you know nothing about love covers a multitude of sin I had a guy tell me he was falling apart in his life and he come to me he's justifying all this ministry he's receiving and he never changed and he fell away from God and never served the Lord and I said what's going on with you what are you learning in those sessions he said well I learned that when I was 1 and a half my dad whipped me with a belt for picking a green tomato out of his garden I said dude are you for real do you believe that do you remember that I don't have any idea but they said that happened they saw it in the spirit and that's why I act the way I act so now you have a permission slip to act that way how are you free [Music] it's misguided you don't ask him to go where he told you to not go it's out-of-bounds I don't care if you ask Holy Spirit he's not taking you there he'll take you there and gifting if need be he showed me that when he doesn't show me that I give him truth when he shows me that I follow him here's the difference between the two that was a one-time BAM a sword rekt him and healed their marriage in four minutes this ministry stuff is annual monthly years out of bounds it's out of bounds and you know what you're teaching people without realizing it you're only doing as good as you feel think and remember so you're teaching them to live seneschal not by faith so people were getting ministry because something's wrong I must have a closet I need cleaned I'm not feeling right something's blocking something's unsettled there must be more stuff and then you go for more ministry in the whole time your identity is not solid and then you think you're feeling better because you settled a thing but when are you ever free cuz as soon as you feel out of sorts there must be another problem so when are you ever free well we'll probably never really free brother we're always just well then why do we sing we're free why does the Bible say we're free okay I'll get off of that I'm so late verse 16 verse 16 so I brought him to your disciples they couldn't cure him and jesus answered and said o faithless and perverse generation how long should I be with you how long should I bear with you bring the boy to me is he talking to the dad who's he talking to I brought him to your disciples so he's talking to a fallen man really but his disciples are part of his conversation because they're thinking like men he says watch watch what he says it sounds harsh it's not what he's been telling them I'm gonna go I'm gonna be turned over I'm gonna be beaten I'm gonna be crucified on the third day I'm gonna rise you know he's been doing that he's been telling him what's coming he's been preparing them I'm gonna die I'm not gonna be here soon I'm gonna be turned over to the hands of sinful men they're gonna the Son of Man will be crucified and they're like oh it's amazing when you read scripture he says and on the third day I will rise and the next verse says then they were all filled with grief when you read the story you think they just said dude wait what well what did you say you're gonna rise look I heard you say you're gonna die but what's this rise thing they were so subservient to death that all they could hear was death they couldn't hear he was gonna rise because they're under the bondage of the fear of death so when he said he's gonna die they're going you can't die you're the best thing that happened I was there about dying you got died they couldn't even hear he was gonna raise because all they heard is he's gonna die on the third day I will rise and they were filled with grief or sorrow ain't it some watch Oprah verse generation it means twisted minded corrupted thinking people perversion twisted your minds twist you twisted minded people how long shall I be with you look guys our days are numbered I'm not gonna be here much longer I'm about ready to go to the Father I'm gonna hand you the baton of the New Covenant New Testament church how long saw I bear with you look you're gonna represent me and be the body of Christ you guys have to get this bring the boy to me is that in your Bible did Jesus ever do anything that wasn't the will of God so if jesus healed the boy was that the will of God to heal the boy would he correct them if they couldn't have woody did he correct them could they have healed the boy was it the will of God to heal the boy was he healed when the nine disciples prayed oops then why do we say well it must have been the will of God well you know sometimes God just uses grace to teach you things in your life there's probably something he's trying to establish in your life and he's using sickness as the tool brother well on God's good time when he's good and ready he'll do it man you don't have to ask I'll just do what God does and we ever hear anybody talking like this was it the will of God to heal that boy was he healed when the disciples prayed and the disciples had already seen miracles seven chapters before here's what Jesus is telling him he rebuked the demon it came out in that very hour and the disciples I love this part is my favorite part I know I don't have favorites but this is my favorite part until we get to verse 20 and then that it's my favorite then the disciples it is because verse 20 is the best New Covenant promise you have in the whole New Covenant the disciples came to Jesus privately privately and they said watch what a question straight up why could we not cast that thing out Jesus did not say because you ain't got no faith he said because of your unbelief it translate because of what you fail to see you're not seeing what I'm in your mind shift and get perverted because of the fall give him some slack the disciples severe epilepsy is their seizure is their visual their prey and he's seasoned he's not slowing down or stopping their minds kick in perverse generation wonder why he's not healed yet wonder why still season man if Jesus was here he'd be healed by now wonder what we're doing and every time they pray after the first time they pray and they fail to see who they are now that he's here and they're driven by the need and in a quandary because there's no change has that ever happened to you praying for the sick why couldn't we heal the boy why couldn't we cast it out he said to them because of your oh I love this part but truly assuredly depends what translation you have I who who says we really should honor Jesus like we say we honor him and take him at his word I say to you what's your name what is it I got Joe sitting right in front of me okay Joe's sitting here let's just say Joe lost a friend to cancer and he prayed and prayed and he cried and he prayed and he said Oh God and he laid hands on his friend and his friend died so Joe's sitting on his bed and Joe says Lord I need to know what's going on I need you to father me I need to understand look I'm calm in my heart I'm certainly not mad at you you saved me you forgave me a sins but man I don't get this healing thing and I don't know why Johnny wasn't healed and God I need you to speak to me that would be humble right Joe sitting there and all of a sudden Jesus just shows up just appears he's standing right in front of you and he says Joe it's just what you fail to see bud but truly Joe I tell you this if you see what I see you Joe will do what I do and Joe nothing will be impossible for you however not seeing like I see will never come out of your life unless you continue in fellowship and relationship with God through prayer and fasting so that the fullness of who he is becomes the full expression of Joe that's what that verse is saying now you show me a limit you show me a limit if there's a critical person out there I'll look past your criticism you just show me a limit in this it's a challenge it's a little bit of a challenge right now I'm sorry if I'm coming across wrong it's just amazing how quick we just great to speak quick to speak assuredly I tell you this if you have faith you will say to the mountain not to God to the mountain move and the mountain will and nothing shall be impossible for you who sees you show me a limit in that promise you show me a well unless of course the person you're praying for doesn't have faith well unless the person you're praying for has unconfessed sin well unless the person you're praying for has unforgiveness in their life that'll be a sure block to the power of this promise you show me where it says any of that that we say in that promise because the kingdom follows the believer and when we start writing books 30 some reasons why men aren't healed we are in trouble because if you embrace one of those reasons you have a book in your back pocket that Jesus did not carry and the only reason we wrote the book is because of our experience and it was in his so didn't need our manual are you guys okay I know I come across a little intense some of this stuff needs attacked and pummel cuz I've all week all week all week I've been looking at you guys excited and in love with Jesus the best you know him and were destroyed for the lack of knowledge we're not destroyed cuz we're hypocrites were destroyed because of the things we don't understand and when you give me a mic and I'm looking at your faces I'm bringing it this way are you hearing and I'm not even asking you or agree I'm asking you you take what I'm saying and you find what I'm saying that's not in the book and you see if you're yell but can escape how solid this thing is how's your yell but get around the scriptures I showed you if every promise is yes and there's promises for healing is the will of God a yes concerning healing if his disciples couldn't heal the boy and that's happened to us and jesus healed him and only does the will of God and says if you see what I see you'll do what I do then we should be on a journey to see what he sees not rewrite the book are you guys with me man that's just solid preaching right there I feel happy I'm gonna have to quit look I don't have any more chance at you guys so I want closer this one line and I'm late I'm so sorry Tom I really am sorry kinda it's kind of a tough place you're sorry but you're not you'd have to understand and be in my shoes I'm sorry but I'm not listen the the there was something else I was going to teach I can't teach it now I don't have time but I just throw it out there and I've gone youtube you can check it out faith is not a tool only a tool it's not limited it is it is in a sense a tool in your belt to get a prayer answered or to move a mountain the primary use of faith in the new testament is in a tool to get a prayer answer it's a perspective that you live by that's why he puts the word bow in front of faith over and over and over the faith of the gospel contend for the faith established in the faith resisting standing steadfast in the faith what he's saying is never lose sight of who you are now that he came and why in the face of it all maintain faith the just shall live by faith yeah so watch would you agree that faith is a perspective when they put the word vote in front of it how can we all have the faith because we all wake up in the morning and believe were created for His image and our goal is his love so whether we have this gift or that gift we are the same motive and reason for being that's what makes the body of Christ one we all live for the same reason to be like him that's the faith so Paul says I've been crucified with Christ nevertheless I what it's not I who liveth its Christ living in me and the life that I now live I live by the faith the perspective of the Son of God I live by the view that made him tick who loved me and laid down his life for me follow me you get it once you stand your feet I want to pray over you guys it's just a blessing would you please I love you guys thanks for your hearts your hunger going out there and loving people and continuing to live this way amen Tom we'll have a real good healthy session in the afternoon please come and pay attention it's pastoral and it's healthy and it's good so that things leave here clean and you guys Stewart what you've learned and groaning cleanly amen so you don't take your hype and your zeal and push it on people and use Todd's name or my name so much that if somebody hears our name one more time they're gonna just fall over and die you don't realize how people have done that stuff that I had lunch with a pastor and we got to know each other and had a great time together and he laughed and said there was a time there was so and so kept saying Dan this and Dan that Danny as he said I thought if I'd hear your name one more time I was just gonna scream but he didn't even know me he just saw that the person was too consumed with using my name and it bothered the pastor so don't do that you don't sell stuff you bear fruit amen amen so just thank you love you we were talking about in the back the hunger here the way you guys receive us as from the Lord and speaking in the Lord is humbling it's amazing you make such a drawl on truth like people say I preach good I think it's your fault you guys pull it out man because you're right here wanting him amen so don't let anything ever change that if you're starting to feel discouraged about anything it's a warning warning back up regroup and move forward not back up that way but just whoa slow down why wow that's got to be a lie if what you're believing in what you're thinking isn't producing life can't be the Lord so you stay encouraged the rest of your days will you well you lift your hands to heaven with me I want to pray over you father I thank you for this house so thank you for your people I thank you for the army that I'm looking at what an army god that's amazing yeah we are definitely out doing Gideon this is amazing Lord God we just thank you that you're with us
