excellent greatness [Music] now i love when it says that according to his excellent greatness that means praise him in proportion to how great he is so i'm a teacher and i like to do an activity every now and then so we're going to do an activity right now with praise him according to his excellent greatness everyone say according so this is how this is going to go if god has done absolutely nothing for you then you just get to sit down and just just be quiet [Music] if god has done a little bit for you then you're going to give them a little bit of praise if god has done a medium amount in your life and you recognize that maybe half of that is from god and half is that from you then you get to give half as much praise and if god has done a large amount in your life but yet you've still done some you can give yourself some credit in some large to god then you'll give them according to that but i believe there might be some people in here tonight that recognize that everything that you have and everything is from god [Applause] i want to know tonight can we praise him according accordingly let me praise him in relationship in proportion to how great the lord is i said can we pray isn't it crazy with stringed instruments and organs praising upon the loud symbols praising upon my high sounding symbols led everything i said that everything i [Applause] today [Music] it's got in my feet already and homecoming revival has just begun but i feel a dance in my spirit tonight i want to praise him according to how good he is because when i look back over my life [Applause] i start thinking about all the things that jesus has done and all the things that only he can do there's only one reason why i'm standing here before you tonight and that's because of the blood of jesus

glad you're here tonight with us pastor am i right 68 years 68 years you heard me saying that some people thinking i said 68 years he's been faithful thinking i'm 68 years old nope that's not true but when i came in agreement in this house i got 68 years of blessings in this house pouring down on my life [Music] all my life he's been faithful how many can say that all my life he's been faithful all my life he's been faithful some people pick and choose but all my life he's been faithful anybody here tonight just raise your hand say i'd rather be a door keeper i'd rather be a door keeper in the house to god than to dwell in the tents of the young godly anybody glad you're saved some people are just saying but some people are glad that they're saved hallelujah i'd rather be a door keeper if they have to wheel me in and just let me hold the door i just would like to hold the door in his house i just want to be in his presence one thing of our desire of the lord and that will i seek after that i may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life should behold the beauty of the lord and to acquire in his temple for in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion the secret place shall behind me and now shall my head be lifted up above my my enemies round about me therefore will i offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy i will sing ye i will sing praises unto the lord [Applause] it's one thing i desire of him amen welcome to community family church you've come to a good place now we belong to the body of christ around the world but this is a very special place where god has just really blessed this congregation because we give all glory and all honor to the lord and it's so wonderful to see the fruit that's been taken place in this house tonight how god has miraculously moved and all those that have been saved and delivered and set free my goodness if we brought them all together in one house in one building i don't think even great american ballpark could hold all the people who's been blessed from this house i don't think if you feel great american ballpark and filled up paul brown stadium i don't think that'd be enough for what god has done in this house think about what god has done in this house 68 years of blessings can they hear an amen in god's house amen and this is a special place and of course you've heard god is doing

appreciate brother joseph coming from maryland and my good folks from the outer banks and our pastor thomas over here that came from south georgia and he was part of the golf tournament and i heard you dedicated one of those golfing you know i don't know anything about the game i only played it once that's all i needed one of the holiness preachers i told him i said well i don't do anything i said i only played golf once he looked at me he said and why did you play at that time i said i'm sorry i said but i went to a pastor's conference and got tempted [Applause] but brother he did it in memory of his son he was pastor and his wife their son was you know young teenager just starting off his little job sitting in a parking lot waiting for his store to open when somebody just drove by and shot him horrible tragedy but praise god brother [Music] god can take the bad things in life and make something good out of them and so we're so thankful for you being here and participating in that we're going to be reading from second kings chapter 19 verses 14 through 16. and hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers and he read it and hezekiah went up into the house of the lord and put that letter spread it before the lord and hezekiah prayed before the lord and said o lord god of israel which dwells between the cherubim you are god all by yourself and of the kingdoms of the earth you have made heaven and earth lord bow down your ear and hear me open lord your eyes and see i want you to hear the words that this evil sennecarib has written against you to reproach the living god just for a few moments tonight we're dealing with the subject what one angel can do [Music] what one angel can do father we come to you in the name of jesus i humble myself under the mighty hand of god expecting your grace to come in the time of need [Music] lord as this seed is sown across the airwaves and around the world let it be seed to the sower and bread to the eater i submit myself to you i want to preach tonight with much mercy much compassion and love and as your bible teaches me with demonstration and power of the holy ghost [Music] we will always give you the praise and the glory in jesus name now can we all lift up our hands and say hallelujah [Music] come on hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah you can be seated tonight in the presence of the lord just for a few moments we're dealing with the subject what one angel can do our text is found in second kings chapter 19 verses 14 through 16. hezekiah is king over god's people over israel and the king has received a life-threatening letter i'm coming to jerusalem i'm going to consume you i'm going to obliterate your kingdom i'm taking everything you have the bible said that hezekiah went to the house of the lord now you know you can pray anywhere you can pray in silence like hannah did you can pray a prayer of petition like esther did you can pray a prayer of supplication like many of the saints of old have done you can pray a prayer of intercession for someone else like abraham did for his nephew lot and in all of this praying you can pray in your home you can pray in your backyard you can pray but there's something about a place that has been dedicated consecrated and has been named a place where god will meet with his people now when this church was built we dedicated it to god we said this place will be for your glory it will be for your praise that's why i don't play no secular music around here in this church around here you're not going to come to any kind of ladies conference around here and bebop to the beatles it's not going to happen if you do any if you do any bebopping at all it's going to be the gospel music and that's it and i know i'm old-fashioned but i've stayed on this travel this road too long and i don't want to change because it's his house and i don't want to adjust his music selection and the bible said he came to the house of the lord and he took that letter and he laid it before god and he said look what the enemy has said he's going to do the enemy for your part in application the enemy has said he's going to destroy my home the enemy has said he's going to take my health the enemy has said that he's going to take my children the enemy has said it is the accusing words of that evil vile serpent himself that comes against the people of god with his life-threatening words that i'm gonna overpower god and i'm gonna take authority and control of this situation but he laid it before the lord and when he laid it before the lord it activated the word of god now here isaiah is he's in another geographic location he don't know hezekiah is in the temple he doesn't know hezekiah has laid this letter before the lord but all at once the prayer activated the word say it with me prayer activated the word you see it's more i know people it's very difficult for me to try to get people out of this bad very bad habit that the only way you're going to communicate to god is by meditation and that's not opening your mouth but three things happen when you pray out loud number one the devil is not omniscient and he hears the word of god coming out of your mouth number two angels are not omniscient and when you open up your mouth and begin to verbalize and speak the word of god and you begin to say as you pray activating the word of god god has said that my household shall be saved god has said he will supply all of my needs according to his riches in glory god has said i am the head and not the tail god has said i am above and not beneath god has said i will overcome by the blood of the lamb and by the word of my testimony satan then has to recognize the word of god angels recognize the word of god and the third thing that happens is you actually build up your faith because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god so there is something that happens when we begin to pray and as hezekiah was in the temple of god and as he began to pray it activated the word of god and the word of god began to speak out of isaiah and say all of the things that was going to happen all of the things that was going to happen to this life-threatening report and letter that came from this evil vile wicked man that god began to declare what was going to happen and the scripture said that now not only did prayer activate the word of god but the word of god then dispatched angels are you getting the process here we've got to understand this because this is a very important message tonight i believe it's going to actually change the course of a lot of people's lives it's going to change the course of the evil uh employment that satan has had against the people of god i believe it's going to change a lot of things a prayer activates the word and the word dispatches angels and the bible said the angel came that night and waved his hand over the assyrian army that was ready to consume jerusalem that was ready to take them captive that was ready to destroy everything and as the angel of the lord one angel just waved his hand and 185 000 soldiers militant powerful soldiers they lay in corpse all over the field and that's when they got out of there and said this thing is too big for us there is too much power for us now the scripture tells us in psalms 103 and verse 20 that angels excel in strength and they hearken unto the voice of the word they hearken to the voice of the word angels excel in strength in hebrews chapter 1 and verse 14 the bible said angels are all ministering spirits they are sent to assist and sent to serve everyone that is an heir of salvation now i've got a question for you have you been to calvary's fountain has your sins been washed away is your name written in the lamb's book of life have you been given beauty for ashes has he given you the spirit of joy for the spirit of heaviness has he written your name in the lamb's book of life have you confessed with your mouth the lord jesus and believed in your heart that god has raised him from the dead and you know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have been born again if you're guilty of such a transaction of that in your life i want you to give god a great wave offering with the hallelujah [Applause] well it looks like we have several in the house that have been to that fountain that fills with blood that's drawn from emmanuel's veins well i want to tell you the other part of it if your name is written in the lamb's book of life if you have a born-again experience then the angels of god have been sent to you to assist you and also to to minister and to serve you you hear it we've got to hear it tonight in romans 10 and 8 the bible said the word say the word is in my mouth god has given you the word the word is in your mouth and as you begin to pray and as you begin to open your mouth verbally it is then that the word is activated and when the word is activated it is then that the angels are dispatched in hebrews 12 and 22 the bible said we are not coming to that mountain that burns with fire and smoke that if a beast would touch it that a that a dart would be thrust through that beast but the bible said that we have come unto mount zion the city of the living god the city of the living god the mediator the lord jesus christ the spirits of just men made perfect and he said those that have been born again they have come into they have come into the presence of of an innumerable company of angels an innumerable company of angels in revelation chapter 12 and verse 4 when satan was cast out of heaven because of pride because of iniquity that was found within him the bible said in revelation 12 and 4 that he drew one third of the angels they left their holy estate they left their holy estate and they were cast out of heaven and they became the demonic spirits and the demonic powers that now operate and try to control all the evil that is in the world it is these demonic spirits but what i've got to tell you is this there's only one third that were cast out which means there are two thirds that are left for your disposal they are left for your working they are there and the very sad thing about it is most people because of the craziness of this world and the craziness of religion there was a big preacher down in florida and he had a had a medusa a tattoo of medusa on him and somebody asked me they said what do you think about a preacher preaching with medusa on his arm i said well or on his leg i can't remember where it was and i said well you know people do a lot of things when they're not right with god i said and and you can't get rid of one of those things they're on there for life i'm not going to lose out on somebody because they got something on them that's what i said they said no but didn't you hear his testimony i said what testimony he said an angel appeared to him and told him he would be more of an effective witness if he got a medusa on his arm and or on his leg you see what i'm saying people have used angels they've almost made it look like a bunch of idiots they made us look to be some spooky thing and even hollywood has gravitated to this and has all kinds of movies of people who have died that become angels that's not true when you die you don't become an angel and when you die your angels not your your parents angels aren't watching over you they're either with god or they went to hell they either were saved or they were lost they were in the presence of god or cast away it all depends on whether the blood had been applied to their soul so quit calling your grandmother your angel she's happy around the throne of grace to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord quit trying to take on hollywood's notions about what angels are i'm going to tell you something tonight there is a resource that the church has right at their fingertips and that resource is the implementation of angels all around and if i can serve this church tonight and the 40 000 that are watching my internet and i can get everybody to open your mouth and to activate the word of god and to begin to dispatch angels of those two-thirds angels that are on the lord's side i believe they're going to assist the church they're going to move things around it takes faith to believe in angels it takes faith to pray to god it takes faith to kneel and alter a prayer but the bible said as your faith is so be it unto you there's going to be a transition there's going to be a transition of power because god's people are going to rise up and they're going to see the battle belongs to the lord the battle belongs to him why should i worry why should i fret come on let's give him praise hallelujah [Applause] well come on praise it [Applause] so when i read in my bible god sent two angels down to sodom sometimes it takes two depends on what kind of sin your children are in you hear me if they're in a hell hole somewhere he may need to send two of them down there one to keep an eye on things and the other one to do the rescue in genesis 28 and 12 jacob lays down and falls asleep and he has a vision he sees angels ascending and descending he said this is bethel this is the house of god the house of god is not a denomination it's not a pentecostal it's not a baptist it's not a methodist it's not a protestant it's not a catholic the house of god is not chandeliers the house of god is not stained glass windows the house of god is not padded pews the house of god is not pipe organs how do you know when you're in the house of god because right smack dab in the middle of that place wherever that building is whether it be a chicken house as in our history whether it be a barn oh everybody looked and said look at those holiness people look at those old holy rollers down there in that chicken house and dad's family said what happened to janice she's lost her mind what happened to that country girl that you married what happened to her what what's going on with her she dressing like the women that are 50 years old she got her hair long and wearing it in a ponytail or up in a bun she down there in the barn and she's playing the guitar and she's singing weird songs like fire fire fire says shut up in my bones but i want you to know in that chicken house there was a ladder that reached from heaven to glory in that barn there was a ladder that reached from heaven to glory in that leaky basement there was a ladder that reached from heaven to glory in the first church we built there was a ladder reaching from heaven to glory or from glory to earth oh in the church that we build here there is a ladder that's reaching from earth to glory and from glory to earth you hear me it's not the music brothers and sisters it's not the style it's not the small groups it's not the educational system it's not any of these things what makes this house powerful is there is a ladder that reaches to the throne of grace where the sinner can be saved where the drunkard can be delivered where the trudeau can be set free this is what we must keep we must keep the supernatural power of god we've got to keep it supernatural this world can duplicate everything we have but they can't duplicate the supernatural they can duplicate our music they can duplicate our sound they can duplicate our shout out but they cannot duplicate the supernatural presence of god [Applause] come on hallelujah [Applause] in numbers chapter 22 an angel stopped balaam from cursing the people of god you got a curse head in your direction you got the enemy trying to curse your family you got the devil trying to bring the curse of sickness disease and poverty upon your house huh do you then pray because prayer activates the word and when you're praying the word dispatch the angel say angel just like you put a like you put an angel in front of balaam you wouldn't let him curse the people of god there's a curse headed toward my family there's a curse that's going to bind my family there's a curse one to steal my children there's a curse one to take my husband there's a curse one to take my wife but in the name of jesus just like you stopped balaam i want you to put an angel in the path of my blessing don't allow it to happen [Applause] i believe from this message tonight there are some of you going to grab this thing by faith and you're going to place angels around your house up you're going to put angels around your car you're going to begin to express what god says in his word this is not some crazy thing that i'm trying to pull out of superstition this is the infallible inherit eternal word of god and god has given us these promises [Applause] [Music] oh hallelujah [Applause] [Music] hallelujah [Music] oh lord i said glory in first kings 19 7 elijah got discouraged because jezebel said she's going to kill him and he's hiding under a juniper tree but while he's hiding under a juniper tree here comes one angel and the angel made an angel food cake i said the bible said the angel made a cake and it's called the angel food cake how do you know when you've eaten angel food cake because the bible said after he ate that cake he went in the strength of it 40 days and 40 nights he didn't need biscuits and gravy in the morning he didn't eat a pork chop at night he didn't need a fish sandwich for lunch because he got a hold of some angel food that sustained him i'm gonna tell you when you're so discouraged that you're hiding under a juniper tree that caused the enemy said i'm going to devour you just wait i said just wait just wait let one angel give you some angel food cake you'll rise in the strength of that you'll face the fiery darts of hell you'll face the opposition you'll face every devil people look at you and say what happened to you you'll say i got a hold of some good angel food and god has

from clay county kentucky and the oldest of his sisters and brothers there were 16 of them was anne helen she only went to the second grade or maybe the third grade and helen was an uneducated woman she was a woman that never had a lot of things not never had finery in this life but after two sons had been killed terribly killed she was a backslider away from god she fell at her knees in repentance and asked god to forgive her and said god i'll give you everything i'll give you everything she was raised among the holiness people and she had a tv and they preached against that they had just come out and now listen i'm saying i just have to tell it the way it is all right don't get bent out of shape if you think i'm going to try to take andy griffiths away from you but she had a television they preached against using tobacco but she smoked a corn pipe had a corn pipe the holiness people preached against comic books they said that you shouldn't put your mind full of all of that foolish jesting and they preached against them and anne helen said her first son had died but when her second son was in the military and she saw that big black cadillac pull up in that gravel driveway and saw that man get out dressed in his military uniform she knew beyond the shed of a doubt that her second son now had died and she was a backslider and she knew she hadn't been standing between the living and the dead while he was in war she knew she was dependent on her mother's prayers she knew she was dependent on everybody else's prayers and not taking her responsibility as a godly as a god-fearing woman and she said when i saw him come i screamed and screamed and screamed she said i sounded like a woman that had lost her mind he had never even even made it up the steps yet she said i picked the comic books i opened the door i threw them out this man is watching this woman go into a rage she said i picked the television up i threw it out the door she said i got my tobacco and my corn pipe and i threw it out the door and i fell on my face and the marine said are you mrs named her name mrs birch and she said yes he said i'm here she said you don't have to tell me i know why you're here my son is gone and she said i've been a backslider away from god i wasn't the mother i should have been i never prayed like i should have prayed i never interceded but from this day forward my god shall have everything my god shall have everything she became a great prophetess of god a great prophetess of god her husband was so angry he said hell enough you're not going to be one of these holy rollers you're not going to be one and she was down praying grabbed her by the hair of the head and put a gun up to her he said woman if you don't quit this religious stuff he said i'm going to kill you she said wilson you kill me i'll go to heaven but if you don't kill me i'll be in church sunday night and sunday morning yeah i said oh yeah [Music] he took all of her clothes and burned them when she went to church in the front yard he was he was drunk sitting on the porch with his shotgun with his hat and his beard hanging down just like a regular mean appalachian mountain man and he said helen i burned your clothes what are you going to wear to church tomorrow night she said wilson you didn't burn this one up she said i'm going to take it off and wash it i'll put it back on but you will not stop me she did everything she was the mighty prophetess of god she's the one that's that came to me when i was on the road to sin i was going to backslide that day oh but god spoke to her as my two cousins and i walked into her house the holy ghost moved on her and she said wade in the balance and found wanting she said boys you can't leave this house till we pray she took us down to the couch and for 45 minutes she took those old calisthans caught all across our back i was going down to the river we had already made plans there was three girls whose daddies on the bar the liquor was going to be down at the river and the girls were their girls were very loose girls and they were going to show us a few sexual things you understand i was going to lose my virginity but as that holy prophetess of god began to pray her rough hands went down my back the girls got mad and went home and the sin schedule was canceled and you all glory but that day in that old house with her hands on my body she prophesied and said yay i say unto thee my son you will preach my gospel your verse voice will be heard around the world many signs and wonders shall be done for you are called you are anointed and you are chosen she prophesied the same thing to my cousin bob and both of us became pastors do you hear me tonight well and helen when one this was towards a right in the middle of her strongest when she was healthy and strong she had asked god lord i want to i want a special touch from you after over 30 days of fasting i'm talking about the old kind of fast not a daniel's fast just a little well water fast her body was weak after all the responsibilities she had oh yes but on the 30-something day almost 40 the lord spoke to her and said helen i'm gonna bless you today rise up and cook a meal she picks the biggest meal she could cook she butchered the chicken plucked the chicken had the chicken and the dumplings and the mashed potatoes and the corn and the sliced tomatoes and the green beans everybody said what are you cooking for she said i just felt like i needed to cook today oh yeah i said oh yeah the family sat down to eat and when they sat down to eat there was a knock on the door helen got up and went to open the door an old man was dressed in bib overalls and he said i'm hungry she said i've been waiting on you i've been waiting on you she said the table is spread and it's ready the old man ate and he stood his feet and lifted his hands he said the blessing of the lord be upon this house upon your children upon your children's children and his videos are afar off and when the old man went out the door they pushed the drapes back for everybody to wave and from the time they shut the door and they pulled back the drapes there was no old man there i'm here to tell you this thing called angels is real it is not a disney movie it is not a hollywood production this is something the church needs restored and

nothing that could be done we didn't have any money to go to the doctors she faded and faded she'd already been going into convulsions and my little daughter and it looked like it looked like she was going to die there were those that stopped by and the neighbors even thought she had died so there were flower arrangements coming up on the porch and sister runyon said the day that they checked her and said she won't make it through the night she's not going to make it through the night and betty right now is 87 years old by the way hallelujah i said hallelujah [Applause] oh but the doctor says

just so we're living holy that's all right [Music] we were made fun of but we had the proof of god on our side i said we had the proof of god on our side in this church right here sister gabbard who set up in the amen corner when she was probably 85 at least 85 maybe 87 years old she had went out to get the mail but did not know oh did not know there had been an ice storm the night before and when she got in the middle of green road this is where the heavy trucks travel this is where the gravel trucks travel and when she got uh and got the mail had it in her hand and when she turned around in the middle of green road she slipped on a piece of ice and broke her pelvic bone in three different places now she didn't know that at the time i broke it in three different places oh yeah and she said lord i'm gonna get run over by a truck i don't have anybody to help me uh sister gabbard stood in this church and we've got it on film she said two arms come under her arms and picked her up and carried her 300 feet into her house and set her on the couch hallelujah [Applause] she went to sleep for about 35 minutes and when she woke up she realized she couldn't move her legs so she called her son and she said son i've fallen out in the middle of the road and i can't move my legs he came in the house he said mama you must must be delirious he said it's impossible for you to fall in the middle of the road and not be able to move your legs there's something wrong you just imagine this she said oh no i said angels got me around my body and they picked me up and they carried me 300 feet and laid me on the couch he patted her on the shoulder he said mom you'll be all right you'll come to your senses later she said if you don't believe me go look at the mail sitting on the counter and you find out what day that it was dated you find out the day he found out the day of when they took her to the hospital they found that she'd have her pelvic bone broken in three places and it's a mystery to everybody but on record in this church one of the mothers said i was destined to be run over by a rock truck by a gravel truck ah but angels came put their arms around me and lifted me up

she kept on saying you're gonna be all right you're gonna be all right he then heard the siren and the lights were flashing but he looked and there was no woman there and it took them one hour and 45 minutes with sauls to cut him out of that situation the only thing that saved his life was when the when the thrust of the accident hit his leg it caused the metal to wrap around his leg and form a tourniquet so he would not bleed yeah so he wouldn't believe after one hour and 45 minutes jeffrey told the paramedics he said where's the woman they said what woman you talking about son said the woman that sat in the car with me that called 9-1-1 they said son every door of your truck was locked there's been no one in your car no one has been here it was so startling to the paramedics that
