Don't Quit

[Music] [Music] a couple of things real quick while we were in Korea when we got there they had this up actually they had a huge picture on the front of the building but they had this one of these they had these all over the building you will also see these in our front hall we have them framed and put up there this was our book healing for everyone in Korean it is now in Korean and they were advertising it and then of course they advertise the meetings itself for in Korean we are also actually show you here is the book healing for all in Korean and it says the same thing there we go alright so it's all in Korean and they also had the DHD manual also translated into Korean so it's really really quite amazing we're we have this material now all over the world and in many many languages while we were there they took us to a place it's called a sky tower and it was a hundred and twenty seven stories I think it was and they took us up to the top of this thing and they had an observatory and you could look down it's had a glass floor so you step out it's like walking in there so it's quite an experience I thought I took a sudafed there for me because it can fill my legs but at the top - also they had this the Napoleon one of Napoleon's hats was there they had a display of all that I don't know how Koreans ended up with Napoleon's hat but apparently he gave it to somebody who gave it to them so but you could see all these things there so just some neat stuff while we were there we're really blessed by being there one thing I will tell you that was amazing they are also working on actually they've already translated our concerning tongues the book concerning tongues it's already been translated into Korean and the pastor said that that book was well it really made an impact on him put it that way I'm not going to go on all the details but he they started implementing what we taught in concerning tongues he's already taught them the course there he took the course there translated it and taught it to them to have them ready for when we got there and so it was amazing we would walk out of the pastor's office to go into the meeting and you walk into this wall like a roar of Koreans praying in tongues and it was so strong that it was amazing literally every time I started to walk toward I've just almost start crying just because just the presence of God was so strong why were there it was literally amazing and they really haven't you know kind of a real understanding of the importance of praying in other tongues and then also we were well actually quite a few things different things were going on there but they were also while we were there we got to visit pastor Cho's church you know Full Gospel Church largest church in the world over 800,000 members we it was locked with it was on a Monday so they were closed we couldn't get in and so our guide if you can call that was actually won over and told them and said we need to get in there because I have an American preacher here that needs to get in there and needs to see it and so they didn't want open at first you know you don't understand I have an American preacher and he wants to go in there and see this and and he's a powerful man of God and he controls the weather say way that the guy came that opened up and met us go in and so we we were able to go in walk around go through the whole thing take pictures it was an amazing Church in itself and they have 30 services a day in that building going on and and it's just amazing to see what they have done there so anyway and while we were there and if you notice the weather we took pictures of the weather here and over there and the differences and the over there is supposed to be seven degrees right have you know seven degrees doesn't work for me right I don't do seven degrees okay and so we the day we left here the day we got there they told us the day before we arrived it was the coldest day of the year that had and then for the ten days we were there it was the warmest January they had ever had I think he said it's far back as twenty years if they could tell and they said it's like spring and nobody knows how to deal with this because we're expecting winter and it's spring and then so we were watching and taking pictures in the day we left here it got cold and then the day we arrived back at the it was sixty here and as we left there it started snowing and well we're sitting in the airport they sent us pictures and said it was snowing all over soul and my god he the one thing he told us our driver I hate to call that because it sounds like it's not as you know he was taking us around he was our host put it that way he was a host and so he was taking us around he said it's just not fair it's just not fair he said now you're leaving and I have to shovel snow hey he said you should stay longer so I don't but it's just it was really kind of an ongoing joke over there in the sense that people were looking at the weather so God is good and faithful amen amen if you have not got a copy of the vision please get one it's out in the front and everything's trying to fly way up here there's not even any air up here so it has a the vision and the mission statement on the back so please feel free to get that because that is where we are going now if you have Bibles and you should even if it's on a phone or iPad or something if you will go with me to second Kings we're gonna go there first second kings and this morning we're talking about not being distracted and now I want to this is kind of a two-part message you might say but now I want to go a little bit further than that and say don't just not don't be distracted but quit I notice the beginning of the year and but we have to realize in our wall you know Christianity may be a marathon but at the same time we have to run it like a sprint amen and you could say the other way he wanted to say it that way but we should run it all out all the time but understand that this is a marathon and that we're consistently doing what we can do and moving forward and and actually keeping that forward pressure now in second Kings chapter 4 verse 8 it says and it fell on a day that Elijah passed to shoot him where was a great woman and she constrained him to eat bread and so it was that as often as he passed by he turned in there to eat bread and he and she said to her husband behold now I perceive that this is a holy man of God which passes by us continually let us make a little chamber I pray thee on the wall and let us set for him there a bed and a table and a stool and a candlestick and it should be when he comes to us that he shall turn in there and it fell on a day that he came thither and he turned into the chamber and lay there and he said to gauzy his servant call this Shunammite woman and when he had called her she stood before him and he said unto her and unto him he was actually talking to his servant say now unto her now notice she stand there in front of him but he didn't talk directly to her he talks to his servant gehazi his helper there and he said ask her he said behold you've been careful for us with all this care what is to be done for you so now he said you've been good to us and what what can I do for you see this is how covenant works alright and so he said now you've done this you know all for us and now I want you I want to know what do you want me to do for you what can I do for you and then he says what is and then he asked her I said would you want to be spoken of to the king do you want me to bring you before the king and introduce you do you want that kind of thing or maybe to the capture of the host you need more protection here what what can I do for you and she answered dwell among my own people and he said well what then is to be done for her and gauzy answered verily she has no child and her husband is old but now notice she didn't say that Gazoo it was an observation that he made she didn't even ask for a son and so here he says and he said call her and we need caught her she stood in the door and he said about this season according to the time of life thou shalt embrace a son and she said no my lord thou man of God don't lie to your handmaid and the woman conceived may you notice the the the big difference there right he says you're gonna have a child she says no don't lie to me don't don't don't don't lie to me out that's not right and and then the next verse I love how God writes to the Bible the next verse and she conceived right now you realized she didn't even agree right now and he says no watch and it says and the woman conceived and bare a son at that season that Elijah had said unto her according to the time of life and when the child was grown or was growing up it fell on the day that he went out to his father to the Reapers they're out in the field harvesting and he said to his father my head my head and he said to a lad carry him to his mother and when he had taken him and brought him to his mother he sat on her knees till noon and then died and she went up now watch watch carefully here this is amazing she went up laid him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door upon him and went out she he dies in her lap she gets up takes him upstairs lays him on the bed walks out shuts the door and she called to her husband and said send me I pray thee one of the young men one of the asses that I may run to the man of God and come again and words cinemasins you notice how casual she is about this she doesn't get worked up oh you don't understand the boys dead oh it's horrible it's terrible please we got to do something quick call everybody get it get everybody in here we got it she didn't do any of that she puts him up on the bed shuts the door and then goes and tells her husband listen send me one of the young men send me one of the asses that you have and I'm gonna go to the man of God and I'll be back now I don't know about you but if you know men if I was her husband I'd get upset you know it's good it turned out the way it did but you still want to know what's going on right he didn't even know right and then I watch he didn't say how's the boy you're you're gonna leave the boy I mean what so it didn't it didn't have any of that and he said why are you gonna go to him today it's neither the new moon nor a Sabbath and look what she said and she said it shall be well don't worry about it it's gonna be okay I'm gonna go she didn't even answer him why she was going didn't say a word about it never actually admitted the problem right now watch didn't she saddled an ass and said to her servant drive go forward slack not that riding for me except I bid thee in other words let's get this thing going go ride hard ride fast don't don't slow down don't take it easy cuz of me get there right and this is the first thing that we see where she was saying okay we need to when you get this done so she went and came under the man of God to Mount Carmel and it came to pass when the man of God saw her afar off that he said to go see his servant behold yonder is that shunammite and see you could tell now you have to remember here he's one of the southern prophets you can tell that by the way he says look yonder see I've been up north a lot you never here yonder up north right it's always down here so he was one of the southern prophets there's a northern province okay so you learned that in Bible School anyway okay so then he says run now I pray thee to meet her and send her is it well with you is it well with your husband is it well with a child and she answered it is well well no okay if you don't believe in what people call the confession message then she lied she's either confessing or lying you got that it's one of the other so because the boys did write and she says it is well now watch now he says verse 27 and when she came the man of God to the hill she caught him by the feet another where she dropped down to him grab him by the feet but gauzy came near to push her away thrust her away and the man of God said let her alone for her soul is vexed within her he could tell something was wrong and I notices and the Lord hath hid it from me and has not told me no notice you have to realize that the wording of the Bible is specific here the Prophet said God has hid it from me and has not told me know if you heard me earlier I made the statement that the Old Testament prophets walked more like sons of God then modern people do generally speaking and the reason I'm saying that is because the prophets even though the Spirit of God came upon the Prophet it was not mingled with the prophets spirit the the Spirit came upon them right but with us he is mingled with our spirit he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with the Lord so our spirits are joined together right and so that this prophet had so surrendered himself so to speak to the point where he God didn't give this not only he says the Lord has hid it from me and the Lord has not told me that points the fact that if God had not hit it the if it would have known you that so it wasn't a matter of him saying what what is the Lord saying he would have known auda matically and then he said not only they say has he hid it but he's not told me so in other words it's it's hidden from me and and I don't know what's going on here in other words you could tell because he brought this up that this is not what he's used to he was used to knowing and you can tell I mean look at his life he did some amazing things of just knowing what was going on and that's why many times when we read the Old Testament in the New Testament also we read where somebody hears from God and we think it was some mystical type thing to where they and we're thinking well they must have prayed and it just doesn't tell us no the Bible is very clear it tells us everything we need to know if it doesn't show it then it either didn't happen or we don't need to know and so we have to realize that with with this prophet he knew things without having to say God what about this what does that mean that means that he walked with God and he knew right now this is how the Holy Spirit is supposed to be in us we're supposed to know things he can say things he can speak things to us but it comes even beyond there is hearing and there's knowing most Christians are always hung up on hearing I want to hear the voice of the Lord I want to hear the Holy Spirit and it the Bible doesn't emphasize that nearly so much as Christians do say what the Bible emphasizes more go read how many just take your concordance and type in the word or look it up I guess if you still use a book and and look up the word know or knowing you know any any of those variations of that word you will be surprised how many times that word no is use Paul often said know this or knowing this and so there are things that we're supposed to know there are things you should know that you shouldn't have to be told there's things that the Holy Spirit is such a part of your spirit that you know them and you say well when did you learn that bad I don't know it's just like it's always been there right and so that they union with the Spirit of God you know this week we're gonna be doing a seminar here the new man and were we talking about this very thing of how we are joined with him and that most Christians want to live a lower level I don't want to call it Christianity because technically it's not it's a lower level spiritual life where they have to be led around you know we would say led by the hand the Bible says don't be like the horse that has to have a bit put in your mouth and be led around by bridle he says that's not how you're supposed to be he said I will guide you with my eye and he said and I will show you the path for you to walk in and that now that means there is a path we were to walk in and were to be told what that is according to the scripture but we are not to walk separately right we're not to walk separately from him to the point where we are constantly having to say okay God what about this okay God what about that okay god what do I do now what do I do here you think but that's not how we're supposed to live we are supposed to be living in constant communion with the Holy Spirit so that as we step we don't we don't people have the idea in this is an exaggeration I'm sure but people people have the idea that when we're going to be led by the spirit that we ought to just be kind of floating and go okay I'm gonna go here you know that's not how we're meant to be right that as we step we step in the right direction you understand not a oh God which the way to I go which way no you go how could you know how do you know because he's one with you right Philippians 2:13 for it is God who is at work in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure God is in you the fact that you want to do things for God that's God so you can't even take credit for that really the only thing and you can't take credit for it but what you're gonna be rewarded for and get this okay listen carefully because does it go against a lot of stuff that is generally taught you're gonna be people say well it's the intentions that count no that's not true you don't see anything in the Bible about intentions other than loving from a pure heart things like the dead thing over that's true okay but when people say well yeah but his intentions were right that doesn't matter it's not what well you know yeah I shot him yeah I shot him I wouldn't intend him to kill him I just wanted to wound him right now your intentions don't matter what counts is you shot him do you understand so it is obedience okay let me let me separate the obedience from shooting someone right just just so it's clear okay just separate that from the beginning okay but I hope you understand what happening all right that he rewards obedience he doesn't reward intention maybe go back and read you said why do you call me Lord and do not intend to do what's right nobody said he said why do you call me Lord and do not do you think I want to get all kinds of letters and emails and all kind of stuff you know Facebook's gonna light up yeah oh this sounds like legalism sounds like law no it's not legalism it is God who is at work in you causing you to want to and giving you the ability to and if you're connected to God you have that the fact that you want to do it if you don't want to do it that ought to give you cause for concern well I don't want to do nothing you know I just want I just want to go to heaven we know in in the in the long run let's be specific heaven is only a temporary place it's not where you're going to end up totally right you read he brings all that back here and so he's gonna remodel this whole place and the whole thing and but that's only that's only intermediate right that's just until he gets ready to redo all this and so we need to realize well you know I just wanna I want to get to heaven no that's not the purpose his purpose is for there to be a kingdom here and a kingdom we're part of that Kingdom and were to be workers co-laborers co-workers together with him right now that doesn't say co lazy because the Lord didn't lazy write about proverbs said if you're lazy you come to poverty and you come to ruin and you know you get into mischief and all kinds of stuff you know and so we have to realize that it is God in you getting you to wanted it and whenever you wanted it then he will lead you in the right way to do it you don't have to make missteps you don't have to make mistakes into it I'm not saying you won't I'm just saying you don't have to but some people use that as an excuse to never get it right you know well I don't have to do this right what because God can take it he can turn it around no your that's like telling somebody well you know go go to the medicine chest and you know get the medicine bottle out make sure you get the one that says medicine nothing when it says poison you know and you go in there and both labels have fallen off and you don't know which is which well well I'll just take both I guess to make sure I get the medicine no that's stupid now you're gonna be drinking poison so the end people say well it doesn't really matter because God's going to judge the intention God sees the heart he knows the heart but he also if he only judges by intention Abraham would have never had to raise the knife right because he was already going forward with it and God had to stop him it wasn't he could have said on the road Abraham intends to do this so Abraham don't even worry about going up on the mountain just turn around and go back home I know your intention it doesn't say that see we have to look at the that's why I said earlier we're gonna move away from this wispy idea this religious idea of Christianity we're gonna find out what the Bible actually says amen and actually walk in the reality of it because there's a lot of stuff I'm saying it more and more every day talking with Christians that we have so many things built up that just cloud the Word of God God isn't amazingly practical right and the beauty of it is if something gets in a way he can move it right and the beauty that is if he's in you someone gets in a way you can move it because he told you to amen so he says there's no watch member she's going now gets to the Prophet and it says how does he yeah here we go you're gonna see this again we talked about this earlier today but he says she said verse 20 then she said did I desire a son of my lord did I ask for a son did I not say don't deceive me then he said to go how's he gird up your loins take my staff in your hand and go your way if you meet any man salute him not and if any salute you answer him not again no notice this sends a whole lot a whole lot like what Jesus said my preaching the gospel he says as you go preach don't salute any person along the way why because these salutations these the customs they had could take a long period of time he said look this is time-sensitive we need to get this done you need to get there take the staff get there don't spend time talking with people on the way get there when you get there he said no notice he said lay my staff upon the face of the child well even that doesn't sound comfortable right take this staff which was usually a good-sized stick and lay it on the face of the child right and then he says and the mother of the child said as the Lord lives and as your soul lives I will not leave you so now he said Gaza I want you to take this the staffer when she go to the boy and obviously the mother should you know he was expecting a mother to go with him he was going to stay there and go was going to go and the mother was gonna go and he said take my staff and you can do this we can show you what was the staff it was the prophets prayer cloth right work the same way same thing right now hey no watch this she says as the Lord lives and as I so lives I will not leave you that's the same thing Elias said to Elijah in there right so again what I'm what am i bringing this out because I want you to realize there comes a point where you have to press in where you have to move forward where you can't just be complacent right you know one of the things I'll be teaching on here before very long probably the next couple of weeks I wouldn't give you what the title is going to be I'm not gonna preach a whole sermon to you now but I'll give you the title and it simply is this do you have a plan or just a dream because if you if you don't have a plan and yet you have some idea of what your future is going to be it's just a dream people say well well I'm just gonna let the spirit guide me this should guide you to read the word right because if you read the word it'll tell you make plans that's what he says in Proverbs and he talks about making plans and having multitude of counsel see but we don't do that nowadays nowadays we have oh I have a dream from God I have a plan I have this idea and and God's gonna bring it to pass because I had a word out of prophecy and it's gonna come to pass know there's a plan God has a plan of how he does things God had a plan of how he's going to take the children of Israel out of Egypt and into the Promised Land and guess what that plan led them to the edge of the Red Sea with the Egyptians behind them and the Red Sea in front of them that plan did not take him around the Red Sea God led them to the edge of the Red Sea think about that God led them to a place of no hope and you could tell real quick who was in faith and who wasn't and pretty much if it's really just Moses all right and all the others were saying why did you bring us out here to die and Moses said hold your peace see that's as King James for shut up they have just translated for you right the original Hebrew it says shut up and says shut it up and he was trying to tell him you know hold your peace and then it Moses even so the Egyptians you see today you will never see again the trap of the Red Sea was not a trap for the Israelites it was a trap for the Egyptians and to get the Egyptians to go into the Red Sea Moses had to put the bait of the children of Israel in front of them so that they would go into the Red Sea do you see that and so they were leading him right up there and then notice they had a little bit of time there to find out who's in faith and who hadn't and then we know what what resulted but the Spirit of God led Moses churn of Israel to the edge of the Red Sea where there was no hope for any natural help and say too often that's what we think well I'm here and it's hopeless so I'll just go the natural way out no if you do then you become like the Israelites and you say why did you bring me here to that God why'd you let this happen to me no and goddess then hold your peace shut it up and just let me work alright this is a trap for the enemy not for you so you show me you have faith and trust me see but we get led to that place um that we think well God couldn't have led me here because you know this is this is hopeless now that's exactly where God made you want because he is your hope and if you look at a place and you think it's hopeless you got your faith in your sight in the wrong place you need to know wherever God leads you it's not the end amen he did not tell Moses take my children to the edge of the Red Sea and let him die there he said you take him right on in to the promised land so Moses was the only one they were still looking at the promised land and so we have to realize just because your problems get big and you think this is the end it's not the end unless you decide to trust the flesh and not trust God so now but watch what this woman says she says as you as the Lord lives as your soul lives I will not leave you in other words no no no I come to you and she's in here she said I'm not I'm not gonna leave you then watch and then and go house he passed on before them so now you got the servant going before him now you've got the woman and the prophet following behind the servant and he laid the staff upon the face of the child but there was neither voice nor hearing wherefore he went again to meet him and told him saying the child is not awake and when Eli show has come into the house behold the child was dead and laid upon his bed and he went in therefore and shut the door upon them both in other words he goes in shuts the door kept everybody else out is one of the big problems as everybody wants to try to crowd in because everybody wants to try to see it sometimes and the people who want to crowd in most Simar not in faith and they're gonna stand there and argue with how everything you're gonna try to do so just like Jesus there comes a point we have to put sometimes put people out and say just leave the room you want to do this let me do let me do my job he went in there for shut the door upon them twain and prayed unto the lord and he went up and lay upon the child and put his mouth upon his mouth and his eyes upon his eyes hands upon his hands he stretched himself upon the child and the flesh of the child waxed warm so now just by contact okay that he's warming the child's body up no not saying this is how you have to do it every time when we seen the dead raising wouldn't like this we never had to warm the body at first but we're in a new covenant right it should be better and easier so he says there in verse 35 then he returned and walked in the house to and fro so he went the first time laid upon the child heated the body up but now notice then he it didn't work right then he got up and he walked around and what's he doing when he's walking around walking to and fro watch and it says he walked in the house to and fro and went up and stretched himself upon him now notice in the New Testament this would be called stirring up the gift it's in you he had to stir up something he was he didn't just stay there he started walking around and the amazing thing is I've been in situations like this and where you pray first and nothing really happens and there have been times that I actually we were out in Colorado once I actually had to take a walk and I got out of the house because everybody was coming in and you know all the stuff was going on and everybody's coming around and there's panic and all that and I couldn't run everybody out so I left and I went out and walked up and down a railroad track for about probably a good 30 minutes here yeah bout that and then came back and when I came back the next time everybody started trying to talk to me and I said now talk to you later leave and I started putting everybody out and until it was just us and a family there and so you you can for me like if I tell my wife I'm gonna go walk in what that means is I'm gonna go pray but I walk to pray I I really don't like praying just standing or kneeling or you know anything like that I like to walk and brace specially out outside and so I'll just take a walk and so that's what's happening here he's walking around he's stirring himself up so stir up the spirit that is with him and he said here in verse 35 and he went up and stretched himself upon him and the child sneezed seven times and the child opened his eyes and he called gauzy and said call this Shunammite so he called her and when she was come in unto him he said take up your son then she went in and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground and took up her son and went out now notice she did not quit now I'll give you another scripture and go to Matthew 15 it'll be what we're going next but notice she didn't quit whenever she got everybody she never said anything about well my son is dead you don't understand what no what she said look all is well all is well the husband all as well I mean everything or it shall be well every that's all she said then she went to the prophet and the prophet said okay take the staff and go she said no no no you don't get it I'm not leaving you I'm here to get this this is my son I told you not to lie to me and I didn't have a son you gave me a son and now I don't have a son again so you lied so fix this right and so he did but no she didn't give up she didn't quit and so what that's the whole point of what I see most times in Christians they'll pray and if they don't see a real quick answer almost not be God's will no it can be God's will it's just there's more of a fight that has to take place sometimes because we know also through Daniel see most people don't realize why Daniel is given to us one of the Book of Daniel about his life is given to us obviously there's a lot about in time stuff in there but we also have to realize that Daniel gives us more of a view into the spirit realm than most of the other books of the Bible and even whenever Daniel began to pray the angel shows up 21 days later and the first thing the angel says is the day you prayed I was sent your answer was released the day you prayed and think about that but it still took 21 days to get to Daniel and so where was the hold up it wasn't in heaven but it was in the heavens you understand what does that mean that means that there is spiritual warfare taking place between this earth and God's heaven and many times the fight is what determines how quick or how long it takes for you to get your answer and to many people as soon as they don't see the answer they give up and now listen carefully I'm going to tie some things together and hopefully to give you an overall picture if you yep the day Daniel prayed the answer was released but it took 21 days for the angel to fight and that's what the angel told me said I've been fighting this Prince over this area you'll notice who he was fighting he was fighting a spirit over a geographical area right and he talks about the Prince of Greece it talks about the Prince of Persia and then and he said and I have fought it took me twenty one days to fight through this and now I'm here but now I got to go back and finish the battle so he fought enough to get through but Nana's got to go back and finish it and he said matter of fact I've called for reinforcements and that Michaels gonna Archangel Rob he's gonna come and help and we're gonna we're gonna get this thing done so there's this battle going on and this angel came through really just to tell Daniel hey your prayers answered don't think God didn't answer you it answered and there's a fight going on now here's what I want you to realize why what makes that fight happen because we have to realize just because we're in a new covenant there are some principles not not old covenant principles necessarily but Bible principles and one of the Bible principles is that the Bible says that his angels are mighty and that they hearken or listen to and obey the voice of the word of God yeah that it does not say they obeyed the Word of God it says they've hearkened to or obey the voice of God's Word now here's the thing God speaks his word out it's out it's there now you become the voice you are the voice of God's Word and angels obey the voice of God's Word what that means is when you start saying like Jesus taught I believe that I receive and you do believe that you receive that answer to prayer then you have it and then it says and you shall have it right you get that no Daniel prayed and he had it but he shall have it because it took 21 days but as you speak and listen carefully as you speak the word of God angels are released to be able to bring to pass what you're saying so when you're praying and you believe you received you have the thing now you have to speak God's Word until you see the thing and as you speak God's Word angels are working to bring it to pass but the minute you say well you know I just I just don't think it's working you can have these angels fighting if need be and they're fighting trying to get through and as soon as you say but I just didn't know like it's working it's like yeah they just stopped what because now you've said something that doesn't agree with God's Word and it stops them from accomplishing what they were sent to do why because they obey the voice of God's Word and you're that voice so when so the key is see they would say well why do you why do you emphasize the you know that confession thing because God tells us to first off Kenneth Hagin didn't write mark 11:22 or 23 just in case you didn't know that God wrote it Jesus spoke it right and Mark wrote it down and so we have to realize that when you speak God's Word it releases angels to bring it to pass but whenever you start to doubt or hesitate or back off and you say things contrary to what you've already said then it's the angels can no longer work with that that's where the long time period comes in because they have to stop until you get back in the word and say you know what no the Bible says that by His stripes I was he'll so you know what if I know I've been prayed for and it may not look like I'm it but I'm tensed the Bible is true and as soon as you agree with the word guess what that angel starts fighting again and so the the time gap is not on God you have to understand but people have perverted that idea to the place where they think that God has a time for your healing he has a time set and you know next Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. that's when he's going to release it so you can get healed that is not Bible whatsoever God's time for your healing was 2000 years ago at that whipping post and every day that you continue carrying that sickness or disease disease is a travesty of justice it's not right it's not legal but now we're not dealing with a legal being when we're dealing with the devil and he tries to hinder he tries to fight against that stuff he tries to get your mind to a point where you will say it ain't working and so the key is to stay focused don't get distracted and don't quit you keep going is what he says if we do not grow weary we shall receive in due time amen and words it will come but the the length of time is not on God God gave it he's already released it do you realize that God is not going to speak and release anything he's already done it he knew what you were gonna ask before and he's already released it he's already blessed you with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places he's already given to us everything that pertains to life in dollars those are already released those are already done and all he's saying is pick it up speak the Word of God believe you receive walk in it don't change your confession keep speaking it move forward that's it and don't get distracted don't look to the right or left don't look to the symptoms of the body speak the word and when you do then the healing comes forth quickly and I'm talked about through your own you know when you minister for yourself whenever you minister when you pray for yourself put it that way and so it that is but that gap that time period what we call the mean time and we got the mean time because it's so mean like we always say because that's the hardest part and the route that length of time has a lot to do with what you believe you receive what you say how you release angels to minister for you because that's what Hebrews says that they are ministering spirits sent forth to minister for us who are the heirs of salvation nothing about the heirs of salvation the heirs of healing the heirs of deliverance we are the heirs of that that's what they bring to us but they can't they cannot work against your will and see in the spirit realm what you say is your will see that's what people that's one people have a misunderstanding about God they think he could say one thing and will something else and that's called a liar God is not a liar you can't will one thing and say the opposite or say something else you can't say something in will something else whatever you say that's what you will write and that's how God is his word is his will and so once you realize that then you start to get in alignment with his will and you start speaking his word too and then you you are able to accomplish his will in your life because you're saying what he said about you see that's one of the reasons the scriptures Ephesians 1:3 and then second Peter 1:4 and how you protected this divine natures of God is by these precious promises he's already released all this he's waiting for you to pick it up and say I believe that and the minute you believe it it starts working in your life I go out say I don't know necessarily if I ask God he would tell me just like he would tell you but I don't know every detail of tomorrow so I have to go by he's already blessed me with all spiritual blessings whatever I need tomorrow I've already got the blessing that answers that need whatever I need he's already given me everything that pertains to life and godliness so if it has anything to do with life or being or living righteously I already have the ability to do that because he's already given it to me so no matter what I face I have the ability to overcome it why because thanks be unto God which always causes me to Trump in Christ Jesus so whatever I face in Christ I can do all things through him who strengthens me so yeah we've got all these scriptures and these are the precious promises by which we become partakers of His divine nature and so we work these things into our life by taking these scriptures believing them and I go for the broadest as I would say most vague scripture because I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring now if I knew that tomorrow at you know 10 o'clock the devil is gonna try to hit me with something and I knew exactly what it was then I would automatically go to the Bible and you know say well God you said right here and that scripture it says this will protect me it if I knew that but since I don't know every detail then I choose a broad they say vague a broad broad reaching wide wide reaching scripture such as he has blessed me with every spiritual blessing to have any places what because that means whatever blessing I need what I need I have it and that way no matter what he brings I have the answer and I believe that I believe he guides my steps which means what I believe the three guys my steps then he guides my steps in a way that I will avoid all absolutely unnecessary situations what now there are some situations that I'm gonna walk right into why because it's necessary and I'm gonna overcome them why because I'm walking in the footsteps he has guided for me and I know as long as I'm submitted to his will and I'm walking in these things and I'm walking in the direction he has taken me then whatever comes up against me I know I'm there to win I know I'm there to beat it I know I'm there to overcome it and I know that I'm not gonna face anything that I can't beat because I know he would not lead me into temptation and he would not lead me into something that I don't have the ability to overcome because he will not lead us into anything in any type of temptation greater than we have the ability to overcome he's already said he will not do that and so and he said even in that as we go into these things he will even provide the way out well most of the time the way out isn't to the right or left usually it's straight through and whenever you go straight through you tell that mountain to move right and that's the way out the mountain moves and when the mountain moves now you have a valley that you can walk through you know and then you got Christians complain about valleys right so it's either one of the other it's a mountain or a valley right when you move them out and you got a valley right but he makes it all straight and for you to walk in so you have to learn to trust God that no matter what is going to come up against you you know that you can overcome it why because greater is He that's in you than he is in the world so it you don't have to know specifics because I want to know tomorrow exactly this and you can by his Holy Spirit he can give you details he will show you things to come so that that's a promise so you can know those things most people don't need to know what's tomorrow because they might ask God tell me what show me what's gonna happen tomorrow and then God say okay you ask here it is and most people would get into fear get into doubt and unbelief and start worried about it I don't want to go that way at all I don't that happened to me because the way you asked to see it so this is what's going to happen tomorrow so now you know it doesn't matter what you want you're gonna face this thing and I know what's in you is enough to beat it and so but if he gave you that much time that's one that see isn't the devil want you to think about the problem storm he want you to worry about it why because worry is the opposite of fear right you have to realize worrying about tomorrow worrying about a situation especially most things people were about never come to never even happened and it's just imaginations but you have to realize that when you begin to worry see if a DH is trusting God to keep his word that's all it is worried is absolutely not trusting God to keep his word when you worry you're saying god I don't think you will keep your word that's why God is so against worry he wants you to have faith in him he wants you to trust he will keep his word and so you have to have the understanding that God is with you he is guiding your steps and you say well yeah but you understand I messed up my life guess what God is right there with you in it and he will show you the way out right he did he doesn't want you to stay in it he will show you the way out amen but you have to know that whatever you face you can beat what if you're walking with God and if you're not with God then you know I'll be honest today get ready to be destroyed because you're you have no protection but if you're walking with God and I'm not saying perfect I'm not saying listen God does not require us to be perfect before he helps us if think about this if we were perfect we wouldn't need help right the fact that we need help means we messed up somewhere means we're not doing everything just right and so we have to realize that he wants us that even in our imperfections even in our mess-ups if we rely on him he can turn that to good and it will move the way it's supposed to go amen you know I hope I'm giving you hope here that's what I'm sorry I want you to realize God is for you he wants to see you come today and he doesn't want you a lot of the suffering that people go through isn't necessary it's things that they end up bringing on themselves because they don't trust God and they don't walk in the path that he is set for them and they end up trying to make their own way and when you do that you're gonna have problems so it comes down to you know what God I trust you I'm walking with you yes I'm not claiming to be perfect but I am claiming that my heart is toward you and I'm for you and you're for me and when you start moving that direction you will a lot of them unnecessary suffering will stop and anything you do face you can beat Amen so don't be like these rights and at first sight you start panicking and blaming God and like I said use the words of the word of God show you something else it anyone use the words of God to actually help the Angels work in your behalf amen no Matthew chapter 15 did on can I get some water maybe water somewhere back there thank you Matthew 15 verse 21 then Jesus went thence and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon and behold a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts and cried unto him saying have mercy on me O Lord thou son of David my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil now if you have a devil you're grievously vexed right well you may not seem to be but everybody around you is now and notice what the woman said Jesus son of David what have mercy on my daughter no it's nobody's it have mercy on me she was in God this Jesus please I can't deal with this girl anymore right she's got problems she's got issues and she got a devil and I can't deal with it helped me right make it easier for me so he says my daughter she said my daughter is grievously vexed oh thank you ma'am it's cold now I'm gonna start talking look at this one that is cold okay no he says but he answered her not a word and the disciples came and besought him saying send her away for she cries after us so apparently this had been going on to the point where it really bothered the disciples and it shows how much compassion they had right send her away she's crying after she's making noise gets on her nerves right and they're not even seeing the daughter right they're not even thinking about the daughter and all they're saying is she's bothering a cinder center what and so and I only pointing it out but don't you realize the Apostles didn't have it all together all right but they were still out healing the sick raising dead and casting out Devils amen and and yet they weren't walking around Oh in that suite oh look oh jesus help this poor look at her she needs help they wouldn't like that they were get her away man she's loud she would just please move her she's crying after us but he answered and said I'm not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel then came and I watch it then came she and worshipped him saying lord help me so now she pushed onto the crowd Jesus just said I didn't come for this you know for he said I came for the long sheep of the house of Israel I could have preached the gospel to the Jew first and then to the Gentiles and he's and so apparently they said well okay yeah I got it and so but now she pushes through and says help me but he answered and said it is not meet or right to take the children's bread and to cast it to dogs right there I say if you've been here both sessions today you'll hear the same thing here he said it's not right to take the children's bread so what does that mean that means that healing deliverance is the children's bread he said give us this day our daily bread so healing and deliverance is for the children of God every day of their life right you got that every day you should be healed every day usually not that you should get sick every day but I'm saying the life of Jesus should be in you so that you're healed and walking free every day but now notice he said it's not right to take that and give it to dogs now today imagine if I said that and I mean imagine what would be all over Internet you know you know preacher calls woman dog then they'd be marching out here you know around here for women's rights well let me tell you you come to JG am I have more women in leadership than we do men man so don't come around here talk about women's rights we don't just give you rights we give you responsibility right a little more than just rights amen if you can do the job you can do the job I don't I don't care male or female makes me no difference whatsoever but in fact half the time women get it done better more attention to detail get it done faster right and women can get men to do anything right I need that Mook I'll tell a woman I need that moved she'll go tell us any man I need that move they'll move it like that you know I could tell a man move it when I get around to not tell it to a woman that get it done you know tell me if it's just Jesus was smart you notice he's he said it's not right to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs and she said truth Lord yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table she did not take offense why because she couldn't afford to she had a daughter that needed to be delivered and say nowadays though if you said something like that not just a woman but I'm saying to anybody well how dare him talk like that to us how dare him say this you know well it what you know ok leave stay sick that's your choice but all I'm saying is that there are times I say things sometimes on purpose on purpose to get a reaction from you why because sometimes I have to do that just to make sure you're alive and breathing well you are quite do I need to do it again I think said again ok ok but do you realize there are times when you have to say things that make people mad just so they'll get that fight in them so that they'll resist and you tell them well you know you're just you're just gonna stay sick the rest of your life and they're like I'm not okay now we can deal with it what because now I got you to a place where you will refuse to stay sick and so I'll say things like that I mean I'm not putting a word curse on you right I'm trying to get you to react and to get you to stand up inside because you need to develop that fight the devil doesn't care who you are he doesn't care what your intentions are he didn't care how good you've been all he wants to do is kill steal and destroy your life and you have to learn how to fight him and that fight is the fight of faith sometimes that fight of faith means doing something sometimes it means stand still and do nothing but so you have to know what the situation is if you've already made your stand stand one of the big tricks and I was just sharing this recently in Korea with some people one of the big tricks of the devil is that when you've prayed and you were in faith and it's during that time in between before you actually see it the devil will tell you nothing's happened you didn't do it good enough you didn't pray enough you didn't say it enough you didn't say it strong enough he didn't say it right and he'll try to get you to do it again and the minute you do it again you're admitting you didn't do it right the first time and now you've actually by doing that you've actually the first time you did it you were in faith second time you did it you were in doubt because you didn't think you did it good enough the first time and he tricks you into thinking that you're actually moving in faith you're actually moving in doubt in fear you know you you can pray what sounds like a prayer of Dominion a prayer of authority and be doing it in fear and it won't work it only works when you believe what you say and you believe what the Word of God says and so you have to be able to not pray in fear amen and that means not to say things in fear so alright he said notice here and jesus answered and said unto her oh you got more water more water and you didn't even miss didn't even bring me a coke alright [Laughter] everywhere I go I they will say they'll ask my daughter what what what would brother curry like in his room you know they bring you a basket or something like that and my wife now has convinced my daughter to tell them he wants water he wants juice he wants you know other and I'm like no cokes chips you know so and I don't know but I don't know how they get through to the people that invite me but they all go apparently to my daughter talk to her about so but anyway notice what he says here the woman said the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their master's table she said this didn't even the full meal just a crumb just the crumb will get my daughter healed then jesus answered and said under a woman great is your faith you didn't get offended let me just say this here real quick do you realize that the level to which it takes to offend you is one of the best indicators of your level of faith do you understand that the harder it is to offend you the greater faith you have if you get mad over every little thing well they didn't he didn't shake my hand well he didn't say that to me he said that to them but he didn't said to me it's a small one because your faith is indicated about how quickly because that shows okay you're trying to read somebody's mind and you're assuming the the negative automatically we have to realize how how quickly you get offended or how slow I should say you get offended is a better indicator of how much faith you have because people go back and read the Bible they were offended at him at Jesus they could offender to Jesus what because of the things he said and because and because of who he was and I've had people get offended to me because oh well you know I've had people from up north we lived north that's North Texas up north in North Texas and they be sick and so I told you need you need to go get this preacher to pray for you no one who is it oh this curry Blakey's didn't put curry but I knew him I knew him when he lived here I think prayed for but I remember him from the nightclub I remember I remember this I remember that have been what and they get offended and it's funny because they don't believe people can change wait and yet they're the first one to say well I've changed you know you you don't give me a benefit of the doubt what to get the better for the doubt you got to give the benefit of doubt amen if you want mercy what do you get a show mercy it's the same thing sowing and reaping works and everything and so we have to realize one of the main thing people will say develop my faith well let's develop your ability to not get offended Amen you want greater faith develop your ability not to get offended and just what does that mean learn to die that's what it comes down to learn to die to that stuff don't worry your feelings on your sleeves as they say just learn to die that stuff and don't let people there's an especially if you're gonna be in ministry you can't afford to let people get to you right because if first off they'll get to your heart secondly they'll get to your head if they get to your heart then you start to get offended in different things if they get to your head then you won't even have faith in your own prayers if they start talking to you well I remember this or I learned that and you have to you have to a lot of times you just have to cut off people like that that live in the past and that refused to move on or refused to let you move on amen it's not easy but if you want to walk with God that's what you got to do it's not always fun you know but you notice Jesus never let anybody really get to him they would say things he'd say things back but he never really showed he only showed what I would call aggression or anger toward religious people that was hurting other people not really what they did to him he's kind of like you want take a shot at me take a shot go ahead because I Know Who I am I know where I'm going got no problems with that but whenever he saw religious leaders blocking the door to heaven not going in and not letting others in back that got him upset so we need to learn to die to these things ourselves and not let people get to you about this stuff keep moving forward what God says about you is a lot more important than what people say Amen people will call you you know God one day and a devil the next they did that to Paul he shows up and they wanted to throw down laurels at his feet and thinks he's a god and by the end of day he's in prison hanging like this with marks on his back people are fickle they'll turn in a moment what counts is what God says walk with God stick with him listen what he says amen so he says great is your faith then he said be it unto you as even as you will notice they didn't even say as you believed as you will what you desire what you want to happen which is her daughter being said be done to you according as you will right and her daughter was made whole from that very hour and think about he didn't have to go lay hands on her we have to realize things happen we need to look sometimes I've got to stop here and you know as you can tell him I just got back from Korea and I preached 45 hours while I was there and I preached all day and then we talked a lot in evenings and so I'm still in seminar mode right so sorry but we have to realize that in our walk with God there comes a time a lot of times we have to walk alone we've talked about that before but with this woman notice even he a lot of people want me you know they have to get to me they have to have my hands on them they want me to come to their house or some and we we do all of that for people at the same time we have to realize in even in the natural realm the big explosions the biggest explosions are not like dynamite that explodes and pushes out the biggest explosions are the ones that cause of molecules to light each other up and we need to realize in the spirit realm when a child of God gives a command from where for example myself and for child is sick in Korea I can speak right here from this pulpit and the molecules in the air in the spirit realm so to speak light up each one to get to them and it's like a nuclear reaction and it's one thing that is during a distance means nothing it means nothing time means nothing you know and matter of fact it is what today Sunday so it's what Monday I guess in in Korea and think about that I could speak right here and be talking to tomorrow I mean in a sense right what because distance doesn't matter time doesn't matter we're talking with the spirit realm we're talking about now we're talking soon the new man stuff we have to realize there's not a person I know that has even skim the surface of what it means to truly walk in the understanding of a son or daughter of God and we're heading touch the surface of it you know what we get excited when somebody gets healed and that's like you know trinkets not to the person that's sick of course but I mean that that is so Elementary in the things of God and yet God wants to show us things that change universe I mean that's where he wants us to walk he wants us to walk in a sense so that this earth the earth is groaning waiting for us to grow up and walk like who we are and and not be weird about it and not try to be you know somebody special just walk to this earth as a child son or daughter of God walking in authority and Dominion and demonstrating and exhibiting the kingdom of God everywhere we go all the time I mean think John I'm trying to stop her Mia okay John like when I went to Africa one of the first times we went to the archives there for the AFM and they have his original diary and so we got to take it out look at it go through it read it and icon stuff and it was amazing to sit there and if you go to the very back you will see his children that was his personal diary and his children had gotten ahold of it and actually wrote things in the back of it like homework school you know I can crayon and think I mean just you know things like that different different colors so it was a it wasn't some holy you know scroll that was wrote out it was a diary and his children got ahold of it and his their home workers in the back of it and I remember John Lake said whenever they were in South Africa he asked the teachers one of his children was having some problems with math and so he wouldn't talk to the teacher and and said what you know what's the problem here and she said well I don't know how to get to us across him so he the teacher went to the church that he pastored and he said well you have to use the spirit you have to teach math by the spirit nobody talked especially even today nobody talked about teaching math by the spirit you know but we have to realize that the problem has been is that we relegate the spirit into these four walls or maybe into healing when we're out on the street somewhere the Spirit of God wants your total life all the time 24/7 to energize the very cells of your of your of your brain and as I told you before I've talked with over a hundred people that were in dr. Lakes Church interviewed them and and they had memories at ninety and ninety five years old between that time they had memories they could tell you dates times people's names whenever today the people of that age tend to have a problem remembering yesterday but they didn't what they and when I asked them they said because he always taught us that when he spoke the Word of God God's Word is his Spirit is in his word and when we hear his word we're receiving his spirit and his spirit would go into our brains and and literally saturate every cell in our brain and we should have perfect memory perfect recall all these things is that we should never forget anything because it's all in there you never forget anything it's all in there you might have a problem recalling it but it's recorded and the Holy Spirit should be such a part of a should so saturate us that we have perfect recall and and that he saturates every minute of our day not that we're always thinking about necessary but no matter what we do and see many times you do that and don't even realize it you say yeah this guy wants to do business yeah I don't know it's just something I don't know I just I just don't want to do that deal you know well that's a better deal than this one yeah well you know I just think we were to go with this and then you find out you make the deal you sign the contract pay a bunch of money and two weeks later the business goes under piles bankruptcy you don't get any of it back he said Wow I should have listened to my gut no when you're good it was the Holy Spirit and you should listen to him he wants to saturate your life in everything and so he could show you all of these things and he'll tell you business deals to make he that there's inventions waiting to be invented that the Holy Spirit wants to bring to help humanity that nobody's listening to say hey show me a good invention that will help humanity you know see too many people ask their own question no show me something will make me rich wrong question show me something that'll bless humanity now you can do something you see and in the process you may get rich God didn't against you being rich as long as the rich don't get you right so the whole point is that but what I'm trying to get across is that in this idea of the Holy Spirit being in you and walking in you it should be everyday it should be all the time and so even with this he said he had to teach the teacher how to start teaching math by the spirit think about that imagine if we started raising children teaching them by the spirit giving them the knowledge of God by the spirit imagine what they would grow up to be and you talk about a new generation of leadership that would lead the country righteously there they are they're just waiting to be taught but but yet we limit God to a box you know and we limit when we're in the box - forgive me heal me bless me somehow give me a better job give me a raise give me a better car and I'll be happy and he says man you settle for so little whenever you could change the world you can you can be a blessing to the world not just to yourself amen so we just need to realize the Holy Spirit wants to be a part of every you're doing and he can give you information even before you ask he'll answer and he says that you know it's like we were saying earlier this morning with some of the testimonies whenever Courtney was talking about some of the names of some of the diseases well we always look at it like well if I don't know the name God knows and he can deal with it but you know what we have to realize is that even these names it says even if you don't know what to ask for he says he can do exceeding abundantly above all that you can think or even ask so that means you don't have to know the name because he can do above what you ask well I got to know the name I don't know how it got there no you don't he can do exceedingly abundant of Eaton's 320 instead of just stopping in Mark 11 22 and 23 and 24 see most people stop there we need to realize fusion 320 tells us he can do beyond but they try to make it specific sometimes you need to get more general rather than just trying to be always specific amen so just let the Holy Spirit just work through you let him saturate you and he'll show you stuff tell you stuff that's I love it when I wake up in the mornings and I know stuff that I didn't know I knew the night before you know and I get up and I try to write it down and usually you know a meter so they'll wake up I start what about that what about that's me that's it and it just starts flowing I start writing stuff down as quick as I can that's what he wants to do even more than that you know you were just tapping into this just a little bit but he is all wisdom and knowledge and information is in him well why don't we just deal with just what we need for the minute let's look future let's plan ahead amen let's all stand up alright so now I'm gonna pray and if you leave ministries will be glad to minister to you my staff will help you get organized here and they will minister to you but I'm we're going to pray first and especially for those watching by internet that cannot be here with us so just agree with me as we ministered to them so father we thank you your word is absolutely true your word is your will we know that we can rely upon you we can trust you to keep your word because most of what you've said even now is in the past tense that it's already done it's a father we thank you for that and I thank you right now that those watching by internet or even in the future you're not bound by time that if they're watching on the internet on YouTube they're watching by DVD or any other format that your spirit inhabits even your words that whenever they watch it they can receive from it so father I thank you right now they under the sound of my voice every sickness and disease has to go it cannot remain that it has to go now in Jesus name so right now we speak and we say be healed now in the name of Jesus right now be free be healed so be it now if you've not made Jesus Lord of your life he will still help you as much as he can hey he loves you and he's trying to draw you to him but you need to realize that the things I speak about is specifically for those who are his children those who are his own disciples those who have made him Lord and so if you want to receive of these benefits if you want to walk in these things then you must make him Lord and he has already bore your sin but now you need to receive that forgiveness and make him Lord of your life so right now just do that make him Lord and then contact us let us know that you've done so let us know if you've been healed let us know and we would love to rejoice with you and even get you some material that can help you on your walk with God so we just say in Jesus name be free be healed be blessed so--but amen amen rest of you we say in Jesus name I bless you you've already been blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places and father we thank you for the manifestation of those blessings in their lives father today the things they've been asking for the things they've been needing in their lives we thank you now today right now today is the day of salvation today is a day of deliverance of freedom of blessing today is the day that they receive from you in fullness we thank you for giving it and now father we say they are to receive it so in Jesus name be blessed so be it I'm in I'm in if you need to make Jesus Lord of your life we'll be glad to talk with you also administer physical healing jesus healed sets free and delivers spirit soul and body so you have any need in any area we can minister to you accomplish amen all right we'll see you again soon [Music] you you
