just thrilled with what i'm learning about newness in christ it's so important for me to be here today because it is so awesome to know who we are when we know who we are in christ that determines our future i think one of the greatest things that i ended up learning was that i have to almost like separate my body from my spirit and their separate entities i would say that i almost felt refreshed when you know and you study scripture and you find out who you are really in christ your true identity not what the world says but what the bible says oh you really are on top of the world i can do all things because jesus christ has already strengthened me and i can go for it and i i can see a change in my life because before i will not stand on this camera talking to you right now but i am talking to you it is life-changing it is so beautiful here there is something you walk into the auditorium and when you see what god has done through andrew driving in it is more beautiful than you

to check it out and get our healing university awesome while that advertisement for women arise you saw audrey what what's her last name i just read matt audrey mack man she is a female dwayne sheriff and we had them together was it at the minister's conference or something and they got to imitating each other and dwayne got to flipping her his hair the way uh it was hilarious i tell you what they they were quite an act together it was awesome i tell you god's just been doing wonderful wonderful things i have really enjoyed this conference thank you all for being a part of it i want to thank daniel and the praise group because man they have just done an awesome job here comes melissa our puerto rican she just has joined us recently from florida and and it is just amazing i heard singing this morning it's 6 30. were you all rehearsing at 6 30 wow i could hear them at 6 30 practicing and i thought boy the effort that people put into this is just amazing real quickly let me mention something i had a group of ladies from oregon that i talked to this morning and they were talking about that they're going to do a bible study and train other people and they asked what i would recommend and i said you know it just depends on what the needs are but i i spoke about this this is my book entitled sharper than a two-edged sword and this is actually a combination my uk ministry used to take my teachings and just put out a little trifold thing on them and they would just put out a little short synopsis of of all of my different teachings and they became so popular they were probably one of the most popular things over in our uk office and so we took them and put them into this book and what this book is is 16 of my books combined into one and each chapter gives that brief summary that the uk uh office put together about the books and so you get this book you get a summary of 16 of my teachings and we also have this on cd but then here's the thing i was going to mention that each one of our books has a workbook that goes with it and this is good for you to study but it's specifically designed so you can take these truths and teach other people and so it'll take some of the major points in a teaching and it'll just make these radical statements and then it has questions and you sit down and you just read the questions and you have a group discussion about what do you think about this do you really believe that god wants every person healed what about the ones that aren't healed and you just ask these questions and you let the people discuss it and it brings out all things there's no right or wrong answers and then at the end there's scriptures that you look up that it answers every one of those questions and it it's what i call discipleship for dummies you can't miss it you just read through this ask the questions look up the scriptures it answers itself and so anyway i was mentioning this because this is a great thing for for introducing people to the ministry because you can go through 16 of the of the books that i've got out and just sample it and then if there was one that people really liked you can go back and study it in depth so where are those ladies from oregon that talk to me where are you come here and i'll give these to you and you can go teach these to somebody so one of you one of your group come up here and i'll give this to you these ladies were a real blessing they they signed up for the healing is here conference but we made it a virtual conference so they came to this one and have you had a good time thank you so much there you go all right hey god bless you that's awesome matt would you come up here we got some giveaways uh for those people that did the hashtag whatever those things are i

praise the lord man it's just been great i've had an awesome awesome time so is there anything else i need to do or am i ready to preach okay my staff is always on me about i forgot this and forgot that and i tell you i'm anointed to preach but not give announcements and it's just been wonderful i've really really enjoyed this i appreciate duane and sue coming and thank them so much for being a part of this the bible talks about that where there's unity there the lord commands the blessing forevermore and dwayne and i have i think there might have been one thing in the whole time i've heard him that i might have disagreed with and i mentioned it to him and as we discussed it i don't think we disagreed on it it's just amazing how we are coming from two totally different situations where we didn't know each other and yet god has taught us and i just believe it has been powerful i have really been blessed by it so let me say some things here that i i what we've done basically is lay a foundation and we've given you a foundation that if you receive this it opens up your understanding but now you've got to start taking these basic truths and start applying it to every single area what i mean by that is that when i saw these truths about spiritual body that i've been teaching i got it and it began to instantly transform me but it was a process to apply it to every single area the first area that i think i probably applied it to was my right standing or relationship with god i understood that i was completing christ but i didn't understand how that that meant that god now saw me in christ and he wasn't looking on my flesh and seeing all of my mistakes and it i spent huge amounts of time just learning that and then i began to apply it towards healing instead of healing being out there that i had to go get i had the fullness of the godhead bodily on the inside of me i already had healing and it changed the way i received healing i wasn't trying to go get healing i was releasing healing and then i began to apply to towards just all of these other things and i'm still learning truth so my point is that we've given you a foundation but now you need to take these truths and begin this is like a lens that you now look through and you see everything differently this totally changed the way that i prayed for revival it totally changed the way that i interceded for people because now everything's already done we aren't trying to get god to do it we aren't begging him to do things we become a channel for him to flow through it just changed everything so i want to encourage you that all we've done is lay a foundation now you need to take these truths and you need to let god apply it to every single thing what i want to share with you this morning is just to make a few applications some of the things that the lord began to teach me the very first thing i'm going to talk about is about faith how you already have the faith of the son of god and this was something i was uh when i got turned onto the lord i came into the faith movement and they were talking about how important faith was how faith is a victory that overcomes the world i believe that every one of us believe that faith is absolutely essential without faith it's impossible to please god so we we see the power of faith but i just felt like it was out there somewhere and what did i have to do to get it and i i was trying to earn it i would pray all night long i would fast i would study the word i'd do all of these things thinking if i did enough then maybe god would give me more faith and this is something you hear people say a lot is it man i know faith works i just don't have much of it oh god give me more faith in the 17th chapter of the book of luke jesus on disciples said lord increase our faith and he turned around i'm not going to use that passage but if you study that he basically gave a parable saying look the problem isn't that you don't have enough faith you aren't using what you've got start using what you've got and uh so anyway this is one of the very first application matter of fact the very first teaching i ever put out was on real to real tape and it was entitled the faith of god back in 1976 that's the first teaching that i ever put out and duplicated for other people on reel to real tape before cassettes or no i that wasn't before because that's but anyway it was on real drill tape i remember doing that and so this is the one of the very first applications that god showed me and then i'm also going to talk about galatians 5 22 and 23 but look over here in ephesians chapter 2 and just let me share this with you because this transformed the way that i approached all of the obstacles all of the giants that were in my life so in ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 for by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is a gift of god not of works lest any man should boast for we are his workmanship created in christ jesus unto good works which god hath before ordained that we should walk in them and when i was studying this the lord showed me that you know when it says that you're saved by grace through faith and that not of yourselves most of the time people will say that not of yourselves is talking about that salvation is not of yourselves you can't save yourself you have to have god save you you are not your own savior and that's 100 true i'm not discrediting that but the lord showed me that also that that faith is not of yourselves did you know that there is a human faith a natural faith like when i was a kid they used to i remember them taking a chair and putting it on the stage and they said it's faith for you to sit in a chair that you've never sat in before how do you know that this chair is going to hold you up it's faith you're putting faith in that chair they used an example when you drove through an intersection and the light turned green it was faith that you drove through that intersection and trusted that the other people had a red light because you can't see it you were operating in faith it was faith when you got on a plane because you don't know exactly how a plane works you don't know if that one's maintained properly you don't know the pilot you're putting faith in it and they use those things as examples of faith but that's a human faith because every one of those examples i gave you has something that you can see or touch or feel to base your faith upon it would be more accurate if you're talking about saving faith to say come sit in this chair the one that you can't see now if you sit in a chair that you can't see now that would be an example of god's kind of faith or if you drive through an intersection and you can't even see a light you just trust that the god's stopping them that would be an example or if you try and get into something and fly and you don't even know if there's a pilot in there see if you have something to base your faith on some physical tangible thing then it's not god's kind of faith romans chapter 4 verse 17 talking about how god called abraham abraham changed his name to a father of many nations before he even had children and it says he calls those things that be not as though they were that's god's kind of faith i was studying this morning in the book of isaiah and isaiah was prophesying the destruction of babylon because they had executed his judgment on the israelites but they had done it mercilessly they accomplished he raised them up to bring his children into bondage but uh they did it without mercy and he was scolding them for it and saying because of this there won't be a single babylonian uh saved and did you know this was before the babylonians had even conquered the israelites and taken them into bondage he calls things that be not as though they were he was already prophesying their demise before they had even taken over the nation of israel this you read this in the bible all the time god calls things that be not as though they are he speaks as if it's already done when joshua was entered into the promised land he says i have delivered the people into your hands no man is able to stand before you he was putting it as if he was already done and they they were still in the wilderness so anyway my point is you don't get saved with human faith you have to have a supernatural faith because you are believing for things that you can't see you've never seen god you've never seen the devil you've never seen heaven you've never seen hell you're believing that your sins are forgiven you've never seen a sin you've seen people commit sin but what does the sin look like can you see a sin can you see when that sin is forgiven see you're having to believe for things that are beyond human ability so my point is when you it was by grace that you got saved through faith and that faith wasn't of yourselves god gave you supernatural god kind of faith you were believing for things that couldn't even be seen and when you got born again god gave you his faith this is the reason the bible says in romans 10 17 so then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god every word of god do you know dwayne and i have quoted who knows hundreds of scriptures in just the last couple of days every word of god every scripture is like a little container and it contains god's faith if you will receive it and open it up it'll actually release god's faith to you he sends his word and heals them the words about healing they have healing power in them and if you'll open it up man it just releases this power into you so every word of god contains the faith of god and this is the reason the bible says in first peter chapter 1 verse 23 that we are born again not a corruptible seed but of incorruptible seed by the word of god that lives and abides forever you can't get born again just on your own picking and choosing god has to give you faith and that faith that word contains faith for you to get born again so my point is you and you got born again you use supernatural god kind of faith and think about it this way when you got saved you hadn't been fasting and praying and studying the word and going to church and paying your tithes and reading the bible and doing all of these good things you were uh you were lost from our perspective some people were more lost than others but there's not like if you're lost you're lost amen i was as lost as anybody and when i got saved god gave me his faith and i didn't deserve it i hadn't done anything to earn it it was a gift of god not a works lest any man should boast it was just something that god gave me and here's one of the things that i learned through this teaching on spirit soul and body that it came into my born-again spirit and it's sealed and that supernatural god faith that i use for salvation it never leaves it never fluctuates i don't sometimes have more faith in others sometimes i use more faith than others you can be overwhelmed in your soul israel and your soul can be dominated by the fear that other people are speaking by what the doctor had to say about what the lawyer had to say the banker or whatever so you may not be operating in faith all the time you may fluctuate but in your spirit you were given this supernatural god kind of faith and it never fluctuates you have the same faith on the inside of you that raised jesus christ from the dead you do not have a faith problem and see if you don't understand this and you just say well god i know faith is powerful i know it works but i just don't have any oh god give me more faith you've started from a position of defeat you're starting from a position of lack god says you've got everything that you're complete and you're saying no god you're wrong i don't have everything and so you start in unbelief and that's going to lead to bad results you need to start acknowledging the good things that are in you in christ jesus look in romans chapter 12 i quoted verses 1 and 2 already these are the two verses that first changed my life romans 12 1 and 2 verse two we talked about being transformed by the renewing of your mind and then in verse three it says for i say through the grace given unto me to every man that is among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think this is talking about in the flesh in the natural realm in the born-again part of you man you can't think more highly than you should because you are identical to jesus i've already used those verses your spirit is totally the workmanship of god as pastor dwayne was sharing we had that perfect copy the perfect seed and it's been duplicated and in your spirit you are awesome but in your flesh you should not think of yourself more highly than you ought to think but according as god hath dealt to every man the measure of faith it says the measure of faith not a measure of faith now i will acknowledge that if you're using the nearly inspired version or some of these other versions they say a measure of faith but the bible says the measure of faith and i'm going to show you some other scriptures that will bear out this same thing there aren't different measures it's not like god gave dwayne a lot of faith and then somebody else he just gives a little bit of faith you know it's like you know you're coming along and here's god passing out faith and somebody jiggled his arm and you just got a little bit of it amen somebody else got the whole deal there's only one measure you know if we had a soup kitchen a soup line and if you were coming through getting things and if i had a ladle and if i was using this ladle to dish out the soup everybody would get the measure you would have the measure the same amount but if i used a ladle for one person and a teaspoon for another and a tablespoon for another and an eye dropper for another then you'd have different measures and this is what people believe that we've got different measures of faith but this says you were given the measure of faith and again man i've got so many things i'd love to say i just it's it's a struggle when you talk about something that you have a thousand scriptures on and you want to just download everything to you it's a struggle for me to stay focused so i'm just gonna quote some things but over in second peter chapter one it says simon peter an apostle to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of god and of our savior jesus christ and if you look those words up in the greek life precious faith is talking about identical identical in quality quantity everything you've got the exact faith on the inside of you that peter had on the inside of him and when peter walked along his shadow would touch people and they would be healed peter walked on the water you got walking on the water faith on the inside of you you got raising from the dead power on the inside of you he raised dorcas from the dead and peter says i'm writing to those who have obtained like precious faith identical faith you've got the same faith the same quantity of faith if you don't believe that if you believe that no he had greater faith and i just wished i had the faith of peter well then tear second peter out of your bible because it's written to those who have liked precious faith it doesn't apply to you either it applies to you or it doesn't either you've got like precious faith or you don't you don't have a faith problem you have supernatural god kind of faith that was given unto you it's salvation you've got all of the faith that you need you don't need more faith man that's awesome let me share this with you out of galatians chapter two this will confirm that it's not just the king james it says the measure of faith galatians chapter 2 in verse 6 it says knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by the faith of jesus christ you have to use jesus faith you were justified by his faith by the faith of the lord jesus christ even we have believed in jesus christ that we might be justified by the faith of christ it's his faith that produce this and not by the works of the law for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified but if while we seek to be justified by christ we ourselves are found to be sinners is therefore christ the minister of sin god forbid that's an emphatic no for if i build again the things which i destroyed i make myself a transgressor for i through the law am dead to the law that i might live unto god i am crucified with christ nevertheless i live yet not i but christ liveth in me and the life which i now live in the flesh i live by the faith of the son of god who loved me and gave himself for me paul said i am living by the faith of the son of god i am justified by the faith of the lord jesus christ and if there's only one measure of faith every person has been dealt the measure of faith then that means you have the same faith that paul had you have the same faith that peter had you have the same faith that jesus has because it is the faith of jesus it's not just faith in jesus it's his faith that we are using put this together with galatians chapter 5 verses 22 and 23 where it says the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace long suffering gentleness goodness faith faith is a fruit of the spirit it's a product of the spirit it's what the spirit produces in your spirit you have the faith of christ in you you don't need more faith if you had enough faith to get born again just think of it this way before you got born again you belong to the devil ephesians chapter 1 verses 1 through 3. you were by nature a child of the devil say you were a child of the devils you belonged to the devil and yet when you got ready to believe all of the demons in hell couldn't keep you from being saved and you didn't have any great works to your accounts you hadn't been fasted and praying you got born again you received the greatest miracle you will ever receive when you get born again getting healed in your body getting finances supplied anything else compared to salvation is insignificant merely because you belonged to the devil he had rights to you if he was ever going to stop you from doing something he should have stopped you from getting saved but he couldn't do it because you had a supernatural faith and this faith is the victory that overcomes the world and it was enough to overcome the devil and all the demons out of hell and did you know that that faith doesn't fluctuate it's in the spirit realm it's a fruit of the spirit and all of the things that dwayne and i have been saying is it in the spirit man it's a complete finished work it's done you're sealed you have supernatural raising from the dead faith ephesians 1 19 i've quoted that a couple of times but i didn't give the reference ephesians 1 19 you have the same faith that raised jesus christ from the dead already on the inside of you you don't have a faith problem you got an unbelief problem you got a lack of knowledge problem you know i already quoted ii peter chapter 1 verse 1 where he says we have light precious faith with him and then in verse 2 it says grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of him most of us are praying for grace and peace to be increased through praying oh god touch me give me more peace asking god for something it says it comes through knowledge not through prayer not through begging god it comes through knowledge what you don't know is killing you you know someday this virus situation is going to be over someday they'll come up with a cure someday they'll come up with something and then we'll look back and it just changes everything once you have the answer once you know what you're dealing with once you deal with it you know when i was a kid polio was a big deal and i had a number of my friends that got polio and and uh it was a major deal now we understand polio we got a vaccination a cure for it and it's and it doesn't cause fear anymore and the measles used to be a big deal on and on once you get knowledge it allows you to deal with things when you are afraid of sickness and disease and things it's because you don't know who you are you don't have the right knowledge when you have the right knowledge when you understand that you've got the same faith that raised jesus christ from the dead living on the inside of you just shrinks all your problems down to where it's no big deal anything the devil can throw at you you've got an answer on the inside and it didn't just come and then it evaporates and you got to get it back and you come and go your flesh your soul and body fluctuate in being focused on god and operating in the truths that the word shares but in the spirit man it's something that you retain all the time it's just a matter of are you gonna draw on that and man this is one of my frustrations because there's laws that govern faith i hadn't got time to teach on that but mark chapter five is a great example where a woman touched the hem of his garment and she got healed without even jesus knowing who touched her he didn't even size her up and look and say all right well you're in faith i'll give it to you no it's just laws like faith it's like electricity there are laws that govern electricity and you could call the electric company and beg them to turn on the lights we've got a identity conference there's hundreds of people coming we need the air conditioning we need the sound system we need lights would you please turn on the light they won't turn them on for you they generate the power but now it's delivered to you and you have to flip the switch we turned on these lights we didn't generate the power i'm not the source of the power i could put a light bulb in my mouth and it'll never light up i am not the source but it's at my command isaiah 45 11 concerning the works of my hands command jimmy we can't command god in the sense that we are greater in authority and power but he's put everything in us and it's at our command and there are laws that govern how it flows and one of those laws is death and life or in the power of the tongue you get what you say you're hung by your tongue man i'm going through a lot of stuff this is my last session i'm throwing everything i got at you but did you know that your words are how you release it god created the heavens and the earth by words he spoke them into existence faith is voice activated and if you were saying oh god i know faith works but i just don't have any oh god please give me more faith you are just hung by your tongue you are speaking forth your doubt and unbelief and that shuts off this faith that's on the inside of you you first of all got to realize i've got the same faith on the inside of me that raised christ from the dead and my words are powerful and i will say of the lord he is my refuge and my fortress psalms chapter 91 verse 2 all of those promises in psalms 91 about no plague coming nigh your dwelling only with your eyes will you see the reward of the wicked they are all conditional on verse 1 dwelling in the secret place of the most high in context what dwayne and i've been teaching that's talking about you being in the spirit and having these things and understanding and then verse 2 i will say of the lord he is my refuge you've got to dwell in this know who you are and then you got to speak it forth and there's probably a hundred laws that govern how faith works that god has shown me i've mentioned one but man you go through and you start learning it but it changes everything when you say father i know you've got it i know i've got it i've got your supernatural faith this is more than enough to overcome anything the devil has thrown at me i don't know how to get it out but i know it's here somewhere that right there is 90 of the pro the battle just knowing that you got it knowing how to use it is a different thing and that's important but knowing that you've got it is the first key don't let satan ever talk you out of it god equipped you and gave you everything that you need to succeed in life you've got more than enough faith you've just got to learn the laws it's like electricity they flow through laws did you know electricity's been on this earth since god created the earth and yet man only learned how to use electricity in the last couple of hundred years they could have been using air conditioning back in jesus time if somebody would have known the laws and put them into practice god didn't just create electricity it was here we just didn't know how it works people don't know how the kingdom of god works and there are laws such as speaking such as faith without works is dead you've got to act in agreement with what you say you're believing and on and on week ago talking about these different laws but knowing that you've got it is 90 of the battle and just saying father i know it's here and if you know i mentioned this the other night but if if an old blind squirrel get a nut every once a while if he doesn't quit if you just know that that that nut's out here someplace i don't know where it is but it's here and i'm not going to quit you'll stumble across it i started seeing miracles and people healed and raised from the dead before i understood much but i just knew that somewhere in here dwelt this same power that raised jesus christ from the dead and so i spoke to everything that moved i prayed for four or five people who died while i was with them before i saw the first one raised from the dead it took a while and it wasn't because god failed it was because i didn't understand we were doing everything wrong but you just pray for everything that moves and eventually one of them's gonna get it and you learn something and then you get better and you're getting better results now amen well i could go on and talk about that for a long time another thing i wanted to point out back to galatians chapter 5 verse 22 and 23 it says the fruit of the spirit it didn't say fruits these are individual things actually it's like light did you know light has all of these different colors in it and yet they can be separated but it all together makes life there's different spectrums in life the fruit of the spirit is not nine different things all of these things are in there every one of us in your spirit have love joy peace long suffering gentleness goodness faith meekness and temperance you know most modern translations will save self-control which temperance is self-control but specifically temperance is self-control in food and drink that's the reason they called it the temperance movement so when you say that it's self-control that's not wrong but it's missing one of the applications and sad to say there's a lot of christians that don't exercise self-control in what you eat and drink gluttony is the christian sin that is accepted and promoted you can't fellowship without eating anyway i'm not against anybody i'm just saying you have self-control on the inside of you now whether you use it or not it's a different thing but knowing that you've got it's important and anyway it you have love joy and peace i've had people i was witnessing to a guy in north carolina and he spit right in my face and he had been chewing tobacco and i was i was getting ready for a sunday service and i had on a suit and a white shirt and this tobacco just fell right down on my shirt and ruined my my shirt and stuff and you know what he spit right in my face and i didn't in my flesh feel like blessing the guy i felt like punching his lights out i got feelings i got emotions like anybody else but because i'm aware that in my spirit i've got love joy and peace and i know that the lord said you turn the other chi i had a choice am i going to go by just what i feel or am i going to act the way that god says i am in the spirit i had a choice if you don't understand this if you don't know that you have these things you don't even realize you've got a choice and so you just say well i may be a lot of things but i'm not a hypocrite this is how i feel and so you just blurted out what you are is carnal you're just going by your feelings you aren't going by who you are in the spirit your spirit man has love in it the same love that jesus used when he turned to the people who were crucifying him and said father forgive them for they know not what they do did you know you've got that god kind of love on the inside of you it's not out there and when you lose your temper and get mad and do something it's not like oh god would you please give me your love you've already got it you just chose to go by what you feel instead about what the bible says about you and you chose to operate in the carnal realm and i know some of you are looking at me strange you can't go contrary to what you feel man i do a lot of times if you are if you're a person that you are just limited to what you feel you are you're in bondage feelings will put you into bondage there's lots of times i don't feel like getting up and preaching there's a lot of times i don't feel like doing a lot of things this is part of growing up you may feel like going skiing every day but you know what if you're an adult you have to work and even though you you would like rather maybe rather do something else you have to go to work you have to do things that's part of being an adult you get up and you don't just go by how you feel you do what's right and in for maturity in christ you have to go by who you are in christ and the bible says you have god's supernatural kind of love and you can love people that hate you what other people do to you should not have anything to do with how you feel about them i choose to love you because god is love and he's put that love on the inside of me not because you are lovely i've had people i could i could give you some examples some of my staff here has seen some of these things in the last few years but i've had people do bad things to me things that in the natural would justify me hating them or never having anything to do with them again but you know what i've got a choice i don't care what a person does to me that doesn't dictate how i respond i have a choice i can choose to forgive and i've just chosen to forgive i don't have anything against any person on this planet although there's lots of people that hate me and say a lot of things about me and have done bad things to me i have a choice i'm telling you this is freedom there are some of you thinking that i'm weird i think you're weird to to let the people bother you satan's got more than enough people at his disposal that if your joy and peace is dependent upon everybody treating you right and everything working out you're never going to have peace because there will always be people come against you and say something against you but when you find out that man in my spirit i've got the same love that jesus used where he wept over jerusalem and long for those people the same people that were going to crucify him in just a couple of days the people who crucified him father forgive them you've got that supernatural god kind of love on the inside of you you can read in first corinthians chapter 13 verses 4 through 8 and it'll give you the characteristics of god's kind of love it's not short-tempered doesn't have a short fuse it bears all things believes all things hopes all things when people come to me and says i've taken as much as i can take you've told you've solved the problem well how's that because god's kind of love bears all things if you can't bear it you aren't walking from the spirit you're operating in the flesh out of your own ability and you just reach the end of yourself well i can't love this person anymore god's kind of love never fails it always works it always hopes if you've lost hope if you've any of these things it's because you're in the flesh you aren't operating out of the spirit and you've got a choice to make i know it's not always easy but i'm telling you that knowing that you have these things and i have a choice whether i become bitter or better i am not limited to my feelings i am not confined to my feelings i am not just human i am supernatural on the inside and i can operate in god's supernatural ability when jamie and i first moved to pritchett colorado we saw a man raised from the dead there and because of that uh man the church it had like 10 people in it and i went there and we grew to 100 people and there was only 144 people in the whole town and so i moved there and started ministering but boy the people disliked everything i said they criticized me they accused me of committing adultery lying stealing and i didn't even take a salary from the church i didn't take any money from the church and yet they accused me of stealing money and i just got tired of it my flesh this wasn't my spirit my flesh got tired of being criticized and i for the first time in our life jamie and i had been in ministry for over a decade at that time and we had struggled financially because of my own stupidity it was my own fault but in childress texas we were eating on a regular basis for the first time we actually bought a house it looked like we could see light at the end of the tunnel and it wasn't another train we were gonna survive we were gonna make it and then i got this call from god to go to pritchett colorado and i left everything that we had and i went to a place where they didn't even pay me a salary 10 people in the church when we first went there i gave up everything i had and put it on the line and how did these people respond they accused me of lying stealing committing adultery getting drunk doing dope it was just bad and i got upset and so i was waiting on jamie and the boys to go to sleep and i was going to go down in the basement and have a pity party and just gripe and complain i sent out all of my invitations all of the demons in baca county colorado had assembled for this pity party and i was just waiting on them to go to sleep so that i wouldn't disturb them and i was going to go into the basement and just gripe and complain and while i was waiting i was sitting at the kitchen table and i just flopped my bible open and i was kind of looking and i saw galatians 5 22. the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace long suffering gentleness goodness faith meekness and temperance and i looked at that and i said oh god i said i know that in my spirit i still have peace and i still have love and i've still got joy but i i wanted to gripe i thought i'd be better if i just griped a while if i just got it out i was looking forward to going down and just telling god how wrong everything was and and i just kept looking at that verse and finally it came to a choice are you going to go by your flesh are you going to go by how you feel and what people have done to you or are you going to go by what god has done to you are you going to walk in the spirit are you going to walk in the flesh are you going to let feelings dominate you and anyway by the time everybody got to sleep and i finally went down into the basement i knew what i had to do and i didn't feel like praising god but i started through gritted teeth saying thank you jesus amen i know you love me and i love these people i didn't love them in my flesh but in my spirit i loved them and i just started speaking forth what i knew to be true in my spirit based on what the word said not based on what i feel and did you know at first it was just forced but within a very short period of time when you start yielding to the spirit and saying and speaking and doing what the spirit says it changes your flesh it your flesh will become submitted to it and anyway within a very short period of time i was praising god and i mean not out of faith anymore i was doing it because man i was just so excited about god and all that he had planned for me and of course you know dwayne and i were talking about this last night that when you hear god and do something it may not look like that there was much that happened but what would have happened if i hadn't of walked in the spirit if i had just got into the flesh and indulged my unbelief and my feelings because i walked in the spirit it was just over and i went to bed and everything was fine and praise god god's been good to me but it's possible that that could have been a turning point in my life i could have wound up quitting the ministry i could have wound up giving up and giving in to that depression and discouragement i think that that could have been a turning point in my life and i'm telling you this is this is what this teaching on spirit soul and body identity in christ does for me i now realize that i am as jesus is in my spirit and when something comes against me i am not limited to just the natural i'm not limited to how i feel i'm not limited to just the doctors i'm not against doctors but i'm saying i'm not limited to the doctors i'm not limited to the bankers i'm not limited to just natural things i've got the same supernatural power on the inside of me that jesus used when he needed tax money go down and catch a fish and take the money out of his mouth i've got that same anointing on the inside of me if i'm faced with any kind of problem i can park the red sea i can walk on water i can do things i've got all of this on the inside of me and just knowing that gives me a different perspective a different outlook on life i respond to problems differently because i know that in christ i am identical to him in my spirit i've got his mind his faith all of these things boy another thing i hadn't got time to mention i got five minutes left but another great revelation that came out of spirit soul and body was understanding i had the mind of christ i don't have just uh you know my mind has been touched a little bit up here i don't have the mind of christ but in my spirit i have the mind of christ first corinth first john chapter 2 verse 20 says you have an unction from the holy one and you know all things all things all things not some things all things and yet every one of us says man there's just so much i don't know well you don't know it up here but in your spirit you've got the mind of christ you know all things colossians 3 10 put on the new man which after uh which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him your spirit knows everything all you have to do is draw it out and there's a lot to draw in and out of course the word of god is preeminent it's priority but did you know speaking in tongues the bible says first corinthians chapter 14 verse 14 that when you pray in tongues your spirit prays but your understanding is unfruitful first corinthians 14 13 when you pray in tongues pray also that you interpret and if i could put this together with first corinthians chapter 2 in the first corinthians chapter 14 the first few verses when you're praying in tongues you are praying the hidden wisdom of god and all you got to do say father what did i say what's the answer my spirit has the mind to christ so start speaking out of your spirit in tongues and ask god for an interpretation and he'll give you supernatural wisdom that's how all these buildings got built it's absolutely true it is absolutely true man real quickly when we were building down in colorado springs i got a loan for that building down there it was 3.2 million dollars and then i had a 3.2 million dollar uh construction loan that we were trying to get to finish out that building and we bought the property with the loan and then for nine months i waited on the construction loan and it was just delay after delay after delay finally we had a meeting with the banker and the banker says it's now been a year since we did a appraisal on the place let's just start all over and man that didn't bless me and i said no way am i starting all over i said you give me some time and i went and i started praying in tongues i've got a trail on my property and i've got this rock that is only 100 yards down the trail that i painted white and i put on it if you don't i will about praising god if you don't praise god the rocks will cry out and so before i got to that rock which was only a couple hundred yards i said father i know that my spirit man has an answer for what this problem is but i don't have it up here in my head i need wisdom i'm going to pray in tongues my spirit's praying and i'm asking you to interpret to me and tell me what's going wrong in this situation so i started praying in tongues before i got 100 yards down that trail praying in tongues and asking god for an interpretation i remembered a prophecy that dave dwell had given me two years before this about that you are going to build and you're going to do all of the he prophesied all these things and he says the good news is you don't need to take out a loan because you have a bank and when he said that i remember thinking what bank do i have and he says your partners are your bank god will do this debt free and i had forgotten that i i bought that building with 3.2 million dollars and i had honestly forgotten it i didn't think a thing about it and i started praying and asking god for wisdom and that came to my remembrance and i thought god are you telling me that we aren't supposed to take out a loan 3.2 million dollars and i went back to the house and figured it out at the rate we had saved money i would have been 120 years old when i accumulated 3.2 billion i mean million dollars to get that building finished i said in the natural this cannot happen there is no historical record of this are you sure and of course god was sure but it took me about two or three days to convince myself and finally i went in and told our manager i said that's it i'm not taken out alone i said i'll do this thing debt-free if they come tomorrow and tell me that they'll give me all the money they want i'm not accepting it sure enough the next day wells fargo came and says you're approved for four million dollars sign on the line i said you're too late and i turned down the four million dollar loan and in 14 months we had that uh 3.2 million dollars and got that debt free and did all of this except the garage we've now built 80 something mil well including the other property over here 100 million dollars in 11 years debt free and that came because i believe that in my spirit i had the mind of christ but i had to get it out how do you get it out you pray in tongues and ask god for an interpretation and he will explain things to you and i'm telling you it's working everything you see is a product of spirit soul and body understanding who i am what i have drawing it out and so we've just laid a foundation you need to develop this and go into every one of these areas and learn how it applies to you amen praise god so how long is our break man till 11 so we got a 30 minute break man i could have gone longer amen let's take a 30 minute break we'll come back for those of you watching on live stream we'll be back at 11 mountain time and this will be our last session pastor dewayne sheriff he'll all wipe he'll wrap this up and tie a bow on it and make it look beautiful it'll be awesome amen don't forget all of our materials out there please take advantage of them okay it's time to get started if we could have everyone come in and take their seats man it's been a great conference i have loved this i think we do these things more often it's been great let me remind you that we have the entire conference here on cd and uh are we going to have this available on usb and all those kind of things are they already available cds and dvds will be available as soon as this session is over the usb you can sign up and we will send that to you but man this has been powerful i tell you this is the kind of thing that i can guarantee you you didn't get everything just sitting here listening to it you need to go over this is a keeper so i encourage you to please check that out where do they get these man is it in the bookstore all right so close to the stairs that go down is where you get this also we've got some meetings coming up we've got a minister's conference for any of you that are in full-time ministry that's just two weeks from now that is the fifth through the ninth of october and i think this is like the 37th or 38th year that we've held this and we held some ministers conferences twice a year when we were up in the mountains and had a smaller facility but we've been doing this for many years and of course duane sheriff will be with us as one of our speakers bob yandian bob nichols is unable to come this year but we've got greg moore and carrie pickett and who else is that everybody's most of them but anyway that'll be a great time and then november the 5th through the 7th we have women arise and you saw an advertisement for that and i tell you it's it's a great time i haven't been adam but i've heard great testimonies about it i would like to encourage you if you could to come and participate in the heart of christmas have any of you ever been to the heart of christmas musical that we have well quite a few of you man it's good isn't it i tell you what it has become like a christmas tradition and at christmas we light this place up and we have all kinds of things we have uh i don't know if we'll have it this year because of the virus and we're having to fight the government but we have had a christmas market do you know if we're having are we having that this year i don't all right so we're trying to but it's great we invited uh exhibitors to come and take over our barn auditorium over there and they put in their own crafts and i mean we have beautiful stuff and it's just a special time to come and it's really really special so anyway that's december the 11th through the 13th i think there will be four performances if i'm not mistaken on that but it's a special time and then we've got our david musical that will be completed sometime before the end of the year and then in god we trust musical will be available on october the 5th and i tell you these things are first class we've had many people compare them to going to broadway and saying that they actually like it better and jamie and i've never been to broadway but we've been to london and have been to a number of uh plays there in london and actually ours are better they're every bit as good plus they're anointed by god and that makes them better so i tell you i don't think a single person would be disappointed if you come so make sure that you check those things out they would be a blessing so dwayne are you ready oh receive an offer and i forgot about an offer anybody want to give an offering amen billy come up here and receive the offer and i put him on the spot this is billy epperhart and he is the ceo of our ministry and he has his own ministry he pastored for how many years did you pastor 29 29 years but then he left the pastorate and went into real estate and he has a ministry where he has money mastery and a number of books out on it and he's just really anointed and now he is the ceo of our ministry and probably the biggest challenge you've had i would imagine this is this is quite a operation it really is and i appreciate him man praise god for the people that god has sent jamie and me i mean i we would be dead in the water if it wasn't for these anointed people so this is billy epperhart and we're going to find just what you can do on the spur of the moment and don't take 30 minutes this is dwayne's time well i thought i'd just take dwayne's time we wouldn't worry about it well good morning everyone i really didn't know i was going to do this today but he asked me the other day i don't remember what meeting we were in he said billy i'd like to know what you feel like your biggest challenge is you know in this new role you've been in now for about nine months i said well can i be honest he said yeah i said it's you uh i would like to say something else but i won't but today uh i'm bo aren't you excited about this conference and uh man i'm telling you let me let me tell you if you can't get something out of this you're dead i'm telling you it's awesome so i appreciate what pastor dewayne and and andrew have brought in the revelation so today we're going to receive this offering and so i just want to encourage you with a couple of things since you put me on the spot remember ii corinthians chapter 9 right so he that sowed sparingly shall reap sparingly but of course he that so bountifully shall reap bountifully and one of the things that i've been teaching around here in some of the different areas and especially in business school and i teach it through wealth builders as well is that is that when when the reaping of your life comes so when things come back to you there's really two ways they come back so when the blessing of god comes into your life i i catego the big categories is one that most people don't ever see or don't think about let me say that they see it but they don't think about it is god will bless you in what i call from a defense from a defensive perspective and what that means is is one of the things i've learned in growing and building wealth over the years is that it's fairly easy to lose money in other words it's fairly easy if you don't know what you're doing to have holes in your bags and money falls out your money bag and so what god will do in part of the blessing is that what he'll do is that he will keep the money from flowing out and let me just tell you in all the business endeavors i've done i don't know i think the the most real estate transactions i ever did in one year was right around 200 in one year now that's all individual separate real estate transactions and let me just tell you that's a lot of transactions to keep up with when the blessings of god is on your life and things are working are working for you there's a lot of things that legitimately can go wrong when you do 200 transactions let me just say you can miss stuff you have to have teams but even with teams of attorneys and accountants you can miss stuff so the blessing of god protects you in a defensive way sometimes it happens in areas of things in your own personal finance you know nothing about so so thank god for that so when he says you'll sow when you sow bountifully you'll reap bountifully that's one place you reap right you reap by the protection of god around your life on your finances and the second area is what i call offensive and the offensive area of where god really blesses you is that's where the increase comes from but what i've been teaching around here especially in business school is because they're in business school is that god will give you a land god's no respecter of persons so if god has a land for one person right he's no respecter so he'll have a land for you now the reason i bring that up is this is most christians are under the understanding or thought that money's just going to drop on their head like you know cherries uh you know or are like are coming out of the air or like ripe cherries off a tree but the truth of the matter is is the real blessing and what becky and i have learned where the real where the real blessing comes from god in our lives is not from just from our income but it comes from growing our wealth and the greatest gifts that are the biggest gifts that are ever given are always given out of your well in other words if i'm even if i make to two hundred thousand dollars a year for example and i pay my tithes right that's a portion that's about 20 000 a year right but if i let's say i've made 10 million and i decide i want to give 2 million let me just do some simple math here is 2 million more than hundred thousand and the answer is yes so when you learn to give out of your wealth and you say billy the point is what the point is when god blesses you in your land not just man of fallen from out of heaven the bible says on joshua chapter five on that day the man is ceased and in the same way that that andrew and dwayne are talking about the revelation of their of our identity in christ and how that changed how they saw everything the day that i saw joshua chapter 5 and verse 12 many years ago in my life where it says on that day the man has ceased and they ate of the produce of the land when that revelation came to my life i began to see that god really didn't want to just bless me by somebody coming up and giving me a hundred dollar bill that was my mindset somebody's gonna come up and give me some money my mindset changed and i realized on that offensive part of what i'm talking about god produces in my land and so now i'm not the one receiving a hundred dollars i'm the one given a hundred dollars i'm not the one receiving four bags of groceries i'm the one giving four bags of groceries are you with me now how am i able to do that because my land is prospering and being blessed and i and the water level is rising in my life financially now let's go back to it if you sow bountifully you will what reap didn't say it's gonna come gonna drop out of heaven like a ripe cherry off a tree you're gonna reap so if you're gonna reap there means there's some land somewhere that you're gonna be reaping from and somebody says well then where where's my land i don't know what your land is that's where if god's no respecter persons but listen when he was going to bless the children of israel say with me now it was in the wilderness for 40 years where the manna came so if you're still living off manna then you're in the wilderness thank you for all those enthusiastic amens but when you walk into your land now you got to go in and possess it there's walled cities there's giants you walk into your land then the great blessing that came on the nation of israel came when they got into their land in fact if you read the blessings in deuteronomy chapter 28 you'll see those blessings when it comes to finances it was tied to their land study it out so most christians never believe for the land now around here with i call him big andrew miss jamie that's kind of sorry about that but that's what i call them but this ministry is their land right god's blessed it over the years whatever god's called you to in your life for me in my land it happened to be real estate now there's other things that are connected to that in real estate on in many other areas but the great reaping of my life listen i'm i want to challenge you with this and i'm just going to give you a word it's worth the price of the ticket right here the great revelation i had in my life when i first got started and began to understand that my giving wasn't just limited to my income but as my wealth grew i could write bigger checks and i remember the first time i ever crossed in my in my mana level just making a hundred thousand dollars a year i remember when i crossed that and i thought well now i can give like 20 000 a year because that's 20 but then i remember when i got started in real estate almost 40 years ago and i remember i sold my first piece of property that i only owned for about 18 months maybe maybe two i have to go back and look 24 months and i remember i got one check for 160 000 at one time and i still had my income all of a sudden i wrote a bigger check it's the first time in my life i wrote the largest check i had ever written in my giving at one time so you're ready to give i know this is good soil right i know that for a fact in fact i just want to say this about big andrew miss jamie i don't know of a higher integrity ministry in the world not that i'm disparaging anyone else because i'm not but this ministry is financially is run with the highest level integrity anywhere in the world i'm telling you now it's tight and i say that with you because as you sow it's not just that it's financially integrous the the millions and millions of people's lives that are being touched through this ministry around the world it's just i mean for me even seeing when when he talked about me come to this position i'm going to tell you i thought i knew about it but i'm going to tell you i'm still uncovering layers i didn't know anything about dwayne and that's part of what god has built here so this is a great place to sew can you say amen so i'm going to ask the ushers i guess what we do since i'm taking it up they're bringing buckets they're already here do you have envelopes do you have envelopes okay well i want you to take your envelope in your hand would you do that and i'm going to pray with you now i know now they're going to we're going to get up and come is that what we're doing all right so why don't y'all just stand with me if you're going to get up and come just everybody go ahead and stand don't come yet don't come yet and i want you to hold that offering envelope in your hand right and i want you to believe today as you sow this you're going to reap bountifully and i

praise god did pretty good for spur of the moment huh i got something really great out of that you know that that was that was awesome i'm going to meditate on that and fix it and i'll minister on that it was really good thank you jesus we appreciate all of you and and sharing you know we it takes a lot of money to run this ministry we have to have over 5 million dollars a month just in the us and that's not including all of our what 14 16 offices outside of the u.s and man it's just amazing we give things away we don't push or pull and god brings it in and so y'all are a blessing sure appreciate everybody being a part of this praise god if you're watching online uh they will have something up on the screen about how you can text to give or you can always call 719-635-1111 and we have people that will take your order now i guess today's saturday we don't have people today do we we're in the process of going 24 hours seven days a week but right now we aren't quite there so i

ben you are such a blessing dwayne is on my board of directors i consider him to be a really great friend and i have been impacted by him in a powerful way and i know that this has been a good time it has this week i've enjoyed it you've been very nice to me and i appreciate it am i ever anything else always nice just nicer sometimes i love you dwayne give him heaven brother hallelujah awesome well one of the things that we do in our meetings is to try to give the notes away and so there'll be a a text number that you can text for the notes and let me just say it's going to take a few days to get all the notes out because in a meeting like this while i was asked to send notes i did my best in praying for a direction but it's hard to stick with the notes when you're trying to flow with the spirit and what's being said and so the notes have changed a little bit so it'll take me a few days to revise those and to get that out but that'll be available to you and i'm sure that's on the on the screen as well well i hope i'm not the only one here today that is growing in my knowing of my true identity amen i pray that for you i pray that over you father i thank you for the revelation of the great mystery christ in us the hope of glory i thank you for the great teacher the holy spirit that you sent to lead and guide us into all truth may he not be quenched or grieved in our heart or in our midst in jesus name amen well i'm privileged today to be the cleanup hitter hallelujah and yet in one way i'm excited and another way i'm kind of sad because this is going to be the end of the conference and in my prayer time just praying about okay where we started and where i felt like the lord wanted to take us i've had to change directions a little bit but i want to remind you of my opening session of how that your identity your true identity who you are and god has created you and recreated you to be is connected directly to your purpose hopefully you can kind of see that now as we've navigated navigated through a lot of these different issues connecting it to your to your identity you cannot fulfill your purpose in life if you don't know who you are and how god has recreated you jesus's identity is what connected him to his purpose that's why you see at the beginning of his ministry in matthew chapter 4 as he's getting ready to go into the ministry the devil attacked his identity if you're the son of god if you're the son of god do this if you're the son of god prove who you are and jesus knew he didn't have to prove who he was to anybody much less the devil and so the devil knew i've got to attack his identity i gotta get him confused in his identity to to hinder his purpose and that's why you see the devil fighting him all the way to the cross and at the end of his ministry hanging on the cross the devil was attacking his identity if you're the messiah bring yourself down off of the cross if you're the king if you're the his identity was attacked at the beginning and his identity was attacked at the end your identity will come under assault in this life and you must be secure in who you are in christ and make sure that you discover who you are and that you understand the recovering process of no longer being identified with adam but being identified with christ our identity connects us to the course and kind of life we're going to live one of the things that we haven't been clear on but i've said it indirectly andrew said it indirectly once you see who you are in christ once you see what you already have in christ it changes how you see your world it changes how you view problems and circumstances and things that come against you once you go from a victim identity in adam to a victor identity in christ nothing's a big problem in the eyes of god and you can overcome anything in this life through faith the faith of the son of god now and so the third thing i introduced was how that identity who you are and your true identity not who you are not after the flesh and in adam and after adam but who you are in christ and this new image of the very image of christ in your spirit as you begin to have that unveiled as the lord begins to reveal to you who you now are in christ jesus it brings a wholeness to your personhood we're all broken we're all flawed we all were in adam and born into a mess and thank god we can get reborn born again and then recreated in the very victory and the divine nature and the love of god in christ jesus aren't you glad that the love of god has been shed abroad in your hearts by the holy spirit it's not shed abroad in your heart by your emotions or your intellect your feelings it's shed abroad in your heart by the holy spirit and you can learn to yield to the holy spirit and he opened the eyes of your understanding that you might know what is the hope of your calling and what the riches of the glory of the inheritance is in the saints now and what is this exceeding greatness of god's power toward us through our identification with christ well in processing that and sharing my vision in the first session i i want to go this way and i'm warring i want to go this way and i'm worrying what do you need what can i share god what can i impart that helps everyone on this journey of discovering who you are in christ and then in the recovery process of no longer living your life after the flesh but walking now after the spirit and there's just so many things but one of the things that stood out as i prayed last night and tried to process many of the things andrew's been saying is how did i discover my true identity how did i really discover it because remember who you are in christ is in your spirit man and it's sealed by the holy spirit of promise and you don't have a new identity and you haven't changed in your body or your soul that's all in the process of salvation so how did it really start with me and it was fascinating as i began to pray even and look back that the vision woke me up that i shared with you the vision created this passion and the vision i had of my identification with christ the vision i had of how i was there i was at the cross and when he died i died i was there when he was buried i was buried so i had this identification through the whole gospel process and i saw it in an open vision but that is not what changed me instantly and fixed everything broken in my life it put me on a path of discovery it created a hunger for god and i began to seek god with all of my heart all of my might all of my strength and i was asking questions after questions what does this mean and how does this apply and i discovered in that process how that god and i don't know that i can say this for everyone but god deals with me in questions he asked me questions i'll be asking him questions and then he'll ask me a question and in this process he was asking me a lot of questions and i wasn't real smart i know many of you hung the moon and you are absolutely god's gift to humanity and the sum total of all wisdom and understanding and when you speak angels sing i get it but i had a lot of problems and i had a lot of confusion and a lot of questions and god began to ask me all these questions and i would try to answer him as if he didn't have the answer it took me a few years to discover when god asked me a question it isn't because he doesn't have the answer and he's looking to me for the answer i finally figured out every time he asked me a question one of my best responses became only thou knowest o lord i appreciate the question i'm listening but the god of the question is also the god of the answer and so in his questions i began to ask him then for the answers and something that amazed me that i had never heard growing up in christianity and around christians my whole life was the question god asked me how did jesus discover his true identity that question stunned me with okay if jesus is the patterned son for the church if jesus is the way the truth and the life and that we are to follow after him that was an arresting question that i had absolutely no answer and it began to cause me to really deep think deeper in the sense of even asking myself how did jesus know who he was did jesus just have this conscious moment where he just went wow i'm the son of god did anyone teach him and tell him he was the son of god how did jesus discover who he was and i'm going to give you three quick scriptures and then we're going to talk about the power of this watching it in the power of jesus's life or how in his discovery how he flowed into the purposes of god flawlessly and so this was huge in my life because i couldn't answer the question did mary tell him who he was did you know mary didn't tell jesus who he was did you know mary only told elizabeth concerning her experience in the virgin birth and in the conception of jesus and she went and told elizabeth her cousin but she didn't tell anybody else she pondered all these things in her heart she didn't tell jesus who he was she didn't tell the brothers and sisters of jesus who he was well i love that quiet can you imagine how mary felt knowing that this is the messiah this is the son of god and and and having to go down to starbucks and meet with her her friends all the women gathering together and them bragging about their kids my kid can run the 50-yard dash in this much time he's awesome my kid is the one they give the basketball to the last few seconds to win the game my kid can lift this much weight and she's having to sit there and hear all these mothers bragging about their kids and not have to go well my kid is god [Applause] she hasn't pondered all that in her heart that's why you can see her at that that wedding and that first miracle just come on do something do something powerful i know who you are but these people need to know just turn some water into wine do something really cool can you imagine raising jesus with brothers and sisters and the other kids nagging her constantly why doesn't jesus ever get a spanking because he's god most people really do not believe that jesus is god made flesh that jesus is god made and and and embracing our humanity that he wasn't uh he wasn't pretending to be a man he was god made flesh have you ever thought about jesus in the manger and he's laying there does he know he's god is he just pretending to be a man is he pretending to be a baby when mary and joseph are in the barn he's and then they walk out and he goes i'm god and he jumps out of the manger and he starts bossing all the animals around like he bosses the wind and like he bosses fish he wasn't god pretending to be a man god so see this is this is why people don't appreciate their salvation that's why they don't adore jesus it's why they don't i'm i'm bowling up with about to cry with just wow god became one of us and dwelt among us and identified with us in every area except sin he really became a man he really was a baby god so flawlessly and in a mystery executed this this gospel this this saving of the entire world and becoming one of us and identifying with us and dying on our behalf so that he could be raised from the dead not for him but for us and we could be justified by his resurrection and now identify with him and his divine nature that he really was a man and he lived as a man but there had to be a point that he came to a conscious awareness of who he was and that's what god was asking me and so i began to search i began to seek when did and how did he come to this revelation see jesus had to come to a revelation of who he was as the patterned son to be the example of how we come to a revelation of knowing who we are amen mary and joseph and all the kids and cousins and many times in the feast it would be a whole clan that would go to the feast and they went to jerusalem for the feast of passover one of the three mandatory feasts that all male children had to attend so they go to the passover feast and it's a big clan of them with cousins and friends and they're all together in this group and after the feast they all start heading home and and jesus wasn't in the in the group and they got a day a day and a half away and mary goes where's jesus and and everybody went i don't know in hebrew next time we're in a conference i'll tell you what it sounds like in hebrew i'll have to dig that out but they went i don't know and they couldn't find him and she panicked and joseph panicked and they went all the way back to jerusalem and and and it was three whole days before they found him in the temple and she was fit to be tied by then i mean you don't lose god it's one thing to spank him but it's another thing i mean can you imagine the father speaking to mary how's it going with you and my son i lost him she's terrified years ago my youngest daughter was oh she was only three my youngest daughter was three and we went shopping and sue and the boys and my oldest daughter went one way i had my my little girl with me and she would kind of just hang onto my leg she was three years old and uh anyway we're shopping and uh came to this store that was all glass presentation everything was behind glass and had a glass coming down this way and a glass on top so she could see everything so she was just mesmerized with all the stuff on the shelf and everything and the reason this story is so painful is i wasn't sinning i was meditating on the lord i was thinking about who i was in christ and i was just enjoying the lord and and so i left the store and i went out to the car and sue and the other kids were already in the car and sue looked at me with i don't know guys if you know the look but the look i mean i knew i knew i've done something by the look i've come home before and i've seen that look and i've said i don't know what i did but i'm sorry the look and she goes where's angelica and my lightning fast mind kicked in and i gave her an answer she is right where i left her and i took off running and i found her right where i left her in the middle of a mall that's terrible that's terrible but it wasn't three days i'm not as bad a parent as some [Applause] she's panicked what are you doing how could you do this to your father and i and jesus looks at her and says don't you know didn't you know i had to be about my father's business and joseph and mary didn't even understand what he said by 12 years old he's in the temple and he's asking questions and he's answering their questions and amazing everyone and he knew at 12 who his father really was how did he get there how did he know that when did he know that how did it happen for him if i can figure out how it happened for him then i can follow that path and discover who i am you can follow that path and discover who you are so let's walk through it really really quick just a few scriptures go to hebrews and this is the one that jumped out at me that andrew was preaching on and i thought okay if he covers that then i'll let it go but if he doesn't cover it or messes it up [Applause] then he's the one that gave me the last session so i'm gonna do what's right so i'm gonna have to read what he read to get the context and this is powerful and it's gonna jump out at you in jesus name and it's gonna help you in your discovering of who you are how did jesus discover who he was was he just walking along and bam i'm the son of god did he just hear an audible voice from heaven and that was it i know who i how did he discover it did he have a vision for the law having a verse 1 of hebrews chapter 10 let's hurry my bad let's hurry for the law having a shadow of good things to come and not the very image of those things could never with those sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make the comers here unto perfect for then they for then they for then would they not have ceased to be offered in other words again if if an offering could change your nature if an offering could purge your conscience if an offering could deal with past present future tense sins then there'd only have to be one that would be given and the very fact that they had to give them over and over again says it was a type and a shadow it was pointing to something to come and it didn't make the the worshipers perfect he goes on to say for then would they not have ceased to be offered because that the worshipers once purged should have no more conscience of sins it doesn't mean we don't have a conscience that's sensitive to sin it means we don't and aren't dominated by our old sin conscious it's a good thing that you have a sensitive conscience and if something's wrong it bothers your conscience it's a bad thing to not know how to purge that conscience then from that dead work so you can keep serving the living god ace having no more sin conscious doesn't mean i have no consciousness of sin whatsoever there's no sin i have no sin there's no sin in our world no it means i'm not dominated now by guilt that i inherited from adam and being in adam and condemnation and shame and all of these things that pull people down even in their relationship with the lord but in those sacrifices there's a remembrance again made of sins every year for it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins wherefore when he cometh into the world wherefore when he cometh into the world how many you know jesus is the one that came into the world to offer a sacrifice one time for sins forever so when he or wherefore when he cometh into the world he saith sacrifice and offering thou woodest not but a body hast now prepared me a body hast thou prepared me god in partnership with mary provided the body for the child to be born and for the son to be given a body has thou prepared me now watch this in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast no pleasure then said i listen carefully then said i lo i come in the volume of the book it is written of me to do thy will o god in the volume of the book it is written of me jesus got in the scriptures and god spoke to him jesus studied the old covenant and god spoke to him in the scriptures that's you see that lamb that's you see that goat that's you see that temple that's you in the volume of the book it is written of me he found his identity in the scriptures just like you and i are going to have to find our identity now in the scriptures hallelujah amen a little bit better right over here see we think jesus just had all these corners on god and he was god so he healed because he was god he lived a perfect life for a sinless life because he was god he operated in the things of the spirit because he was god we just simply do not understand jesus was god made flesh was a human being that had to discover who he was not after his flesh but after the spirit and where did he find himself do you remember one time he was being challenged and he said oh about the temple and he said tear this temple down in three days i'll raise it up do you know that angered them so bad that in his mockery all night fake trial they found a witness that was still upset years later he said tear the temple down in three days that's how i know that's how they spoke he'll raise it up again and when he said that they got all out of out of sorts and talked about how many decades it took to build that temple in generations and you're going to rebuild it in three days and then the bible says but this fakey of his body he would be studying in the old covenant at the temple and the holy spirit would speak to him that's you that temple right there is you you will be the connection between heaven and earth that temple that allowed god to connect to this earth and now his will flow out of that temple for all of humanity jesus has become that temple jesus knew he was that temple he in the volume of the book discovered i am the temple that will connect heaven and earth together and it will set us on a path of a brand new heaven and a brand new earth in the volume of the book it is written of me in john chapter 5 verse 39 jesus is speaking to a large crowd and he says search the scriptures now we know that's not the new testament because the new testament had been written yet so when jesus said search the scriptures he's talking about the volume of the book he's talking about the old covenant he's talking about the old testament he says search the scriptures you think in them you have eternal life but they are they that testify of me and you won't come unto me now that you might have life now where did jesus get that kind of confidence he'd be studying the scriptures and the holy spirit would say that's you so now he's standing up in his identity his true identity and he's saying search those scriptures you think in them you're going to have eternal life but they are they that testify of me that's me that's me that's me and the holy spirit told him that's you and that same holy spirit if you will search the scriptures will tell you who you are let me show you one i really like luke chapter 24. this was the one that fascinated me i probably spent longer in this one than the other ones but wow it is an amazing amazing passage and story luke chapter 24 we're going to have to begin reading in 25. this is jesus after the resurrection this is jesus in his in his resurrected body this is jesus now that has has been raised from the dead has atoned for our sins and now he's manifesting in a physical form and there's two disciples it says walking on this road to emmaus and he just appears and starts walking with these disciples and they didn't recognize him now there's a lot there it's a dangerous area for me because you do get into if you're not careful some speculation and that kind of thing but there's still something to that that they did not recognize it was jesus and so he's walking with them and they're down in the dumps and they're they're complaining about wow man this is terrible what happened and now jesus is gone and he's dead and and they're just talking about all that had happened and it says in verse 25 and you can read the other verses to get the full context then he said unto them o fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken all that the prophets have spoken ought not christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory now watch this this is huge and beginning at moses and all the prophets he went back to the book of genesis first five books of the bible the book of of moses and so he goes all the way back to the beginning the book of moses he starts in genesis and he goes through that and then he starts talking about don't you remember this prophet and what this prophet said and what this prophet said and what this prophet said but look at the context of this and beginning at moses and all the prophets he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself he was walking with them and he says you see that right there that's really jesus i know you think god meant this and i know you think god meant that but that is me that is he goes all the way back to genesis and walks them through and go there i am there i am there i am then he goes to the prophets and goes there i am there i am there i am it doesn't say but i i don't doubt he kind of went through some of the psalms and went yeah i was told in advance i would be betrayed with a kiss amen that's why he was able to stand and operate like he did he'd already found himself in scripture he already he already discovered his true identity as the messiah the son of the living god the sacrifice for the sins of the whole world and how it's all going to come down how much money the guy is going to make in betraying me he discovered it in the scriptures and so he's walking them through the scriptures and he going that's me that's me that's me god wants to walk you through the scriptures and the holy spirit the great teacher go that is you that's not in theory you john are more than a conqueror through him that loved you and gave himself for you you will have the faith of the son of god god wants to take the scriptures and show you you in the scriptures but i don't feel it i know it's the new you in here and we struggle with these things because they're received by faith not feelings they're received by faith they're known by the spirit not our dum not our dumb heads and i didn't know you'd dumb it [Music] it's like we grow up most of us in christianity and most of the time we're warring the whole time with the scriptures that are trying to show you who you are what you have what you can do how to do it and i think it's john 14 12. jesus says the works that i do shall i did a whole series on this because i mean people just their brain your brain just melts down when you read that scripture and everything within you tries to fight outside of your spirit the reality of what he said verily verily and i like that truly truly i'm telling you the truth i'm not running for office i'm telling you the truth verily verily i say unto you the works that i do shall you do also then he told you how and why got your attention very verily i say unto you the works that i do shall you do also and greater now my brain is in the meltdown you can't even find a group of people that'll let you by faith attempt the works of jesus much that's a group of people that'll let you do greater works i'm gonna try it again i'm gonna get through it this time because he tells you how verily verily i say unto you the works that i do shall you do and greater works than these and i've heard people i'm not going to make it through it i've heard people water that down well we're doing the greater works of jesus you know we're on tbn and reaching millions of people jesus never spoke at one time to millions of people and we're on radio and we have these big meetings where and on they go with just diluting and polluting their new identity and what jesus is trying to communicate he meant it the works that he did and greater works shall we do because i go to the father in other words the resurrection of jesus i have an identification with and the resurrection of jesus him going to the father and sending the spirit back to me has equipped me in my spirit and in the new creation to follow in his footsteps and do not only his works but greater works on the horizon you may never feel that i'm excited saying it right now i'm believing it with all my heart and i'm fighting my dumb head right now and i'm gonna keep fighting my dumb head and i'm gonna have my mind renewed to the scriptures because i found myself in the scriptures i discovered who i was in the scriptures that's so awesome because we don't feel it and because we don't comprehend it in its fullness we discount the truth of the scriptures in our lives all the time we discredit the power of the scriptures in our lives all the time instead of just absolutely embracing it being humble and honest before god and say i don't feel this i don't understand this comprehend it but if you said it i believe it and i had to make up my mind that i'm going to believe what that bible says about me and who it says i am more than what my parents say about me and they say who i am more than this world and who they say i am and it's only in selling out to it i mean i came to a point i was praying one time and i do struggle with dyslexia i'm healed in jesus name i'm functional it's unreal but every now and then it'll just slip in and man i was praying and i said lord i'd believe the bible if it said jonah swallowed the well and i i stopped and i went oh wait i'm sorry i'm sorry no i would believe the bible if jonah swallowed the whale i'd believe it and if i can't explain it i would just proclaim it believe in god to unveil it to some whale swallowers that are out there hallelujah and yet people don't live like that they're not taught like that they're not they they they are moved by their five senses like we've been taught and they're carnal unrenewed minds and because they refuse to to resist your feelings resist your lack of knowledge and pursue god in the scriptures they wind up living these defeated lives and yet the bible it's amazing it not only declares who we are that is you can't read it and the holy spirit show it to you and you not get happy you can't read it not get excited you can't read it not praise you can't read it and not think oh my goodness i got on a plane one time see this sounds arrogant you have to be so careful because people think you're talking after your flesh and you're not i am still so inferior after my flesh but i've just learned don't put confidence in it and i was getting on a plane and i was praying and i was thinking man this plane is not going down in jesus name because you hear all these stories and i'm just muttering under my breath i said lord if everybody on this plane knew who was on this plane they'd be so happy and then it hit me wait a minute that doesn't sound right no if those people knew that i'm on this plane and i didn't get on this plane in the flesh and after the flesh i brought the god of the universe onto this plane this puppy's not going down and i struggled with that when i first started traveling i grew up supporting ministry we struggled and i remember getting on planes and being afraid and i had to deal with that why should i be afraid i'm going to walk by faith and not by sight i'm going to believe god is on this plane with me and i can remember when we when we would schedule a meeting or something i would always ask could you could you purposely get a seat at the back of the plane and somebody said well why would you want a seat at the back of the plane every plane crash i had ever seen into a mountain you saw the back end of the plane sticking out [Applause] you've never seen a plane back into a mountain so i'm getting at the back of the plane hallelujah i'm going to survive but i went from survive to first class and thrive in the name of jesus when i get on a plane but nothing in my flesh changed i just denied it i just put it under i just crucified it and i could die to it because i know i'm already dead to that man that was united and identified with adam and this new man and identified with him you you you can't be dominated by anything but faith and victory and blessings and and it's it's so strange how the bible talks about who we are in christ over here is so superior and powerful and awesome compared to who we were not in adam but yet most people sitting here right now watching right now i love you i'm not being mean i'm trying to help you but i guarantee in most situations you identify quicker with your old condition in adam than your new condition in christ sickness is bigger to you and more real than healing poverty is bigger and more real than prosperity unrighteousness is bigger to you than the righteousness of god death is still dominating your your minds instead of life dominating your minds go back to romans i ran out of time in our last session and i talked to you about how romans is comparing what happened to adam and how it affected us and what's happened in jesus now and how it affects us and and it's comparing the first man that we were all in with what the bible calls in second corinthians 15 45-47 the second man see jesus is called the second man the last adam why is he called the last adam because we're not going to need another master copy why is he called by isaiah the everlasting father because he has spawned a grace race he's the father of the new creation and we won't ever need another father again he's the everlasting head of the church he's the everlasting father of the church and yet people aren't dominated by it and because their flesh is so real to them and their emotions are so real and their carnal thinking is so real and they've been conditioned by the world to be carnal we've been conditioned and i'm not i'm talking to me here i'm not putting anybody down we are swimming in a cesspool of corruption we're swimming in a cesspool of unbelief and people dominated by how they feel and dominated by their opinions and dominated by their processes and you come along and you say that domination's killing you in the first place you need to renounce all that stuff and you need to be dominated by the word of god and yet this is a great crowd and i love you and i guarantee you the thousands that are watching you wouldn't be watching if you didn't love the word but are you dominated by it do you believe what god did in jesus is greater than what the devil did in adam amen and so paul is he's trying to compare these two men and what happened to him and how it affected us but he and these scriptures are talking about how much greater what god did in christ than what the dumb devil did in adam and so it's a comparison by contrast there's a similarity here we all have an identification to these two men they've both affected us but we get to choose what what identification are we going to let dominate us every situation you get to choose which which identification is going to dominate me who i used to be in adam or who i now am in christ every situation you get to choose and most people never even get to the choosing they think they don't have a choice i feel bad so i must be bad i'm depressed so i must be depressed all these things you're hearing are huge and if you could just get i'm as messed up as anybody but boy i love this stuff because i know without god where i'd really be i know what a mess i would be and so i'm so thankful for who i am in christ that i just cling to this stuff it's everything to me and and i believe it should be everything to you so let me read it again and then bring this one point out about how much greater what god did in jesus is than what the devil did in adam these two men are similar both of them stood on our behalf both of them were in a garden garden of eden garden of gethsemane both of them partook of a tree adam partook of a tree of disobedience jesus part took of a tree of obedience both of them had us on the inside of them and where they went we went so you see the similarities but yet paul is saying there's some similarities here but they are so far apart i'm going to compare them but you can't compare them i love that and that's what he does so let's read it again verse 12. wherefore as by one man adam sin entered into the world and death by sin and so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned for until the law of sin was in the world but sin is not imputed where there is no law nevertheless death reigned from adam to moses death was reigning from adam to moses and the law was just a stop gap to slow sin down from wiping the whole human race out again like it did in the book of genesis chapter 9 in noah's day do you realize in noah's day that family was the only ones worshiping god seeking god the whole world was corrupt and everyone's mind was corrupt and from adam to moses this death was reigning moses put a stop gap with the law on sin but death was still reigning even under the mosaic law while sin was still reigning even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of adam's transgression who is the figure of him that was to come see adam was a figure of him that was to come he was a an image of the image to come that would be displayed in jesus adam was earthly and from the earth jesus was the lord from heaven but both of them stood on behalf of the whole human race but not as the offense so also is the free gift for if through the offense of one that's adam many be dead much more everybody say much more much more the grace of god and the gift of grace which is by one man jesus christ has abounded unto many and not as it was by the one that's adam that sinned so also is the gift for the judgment was by one to condemnation but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification for if by one man's offense death reigned by one much more everybody say much more much more they which receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life not reign in heaven reign in life how are we going to reign in life by this one man jesus christ by our new identification i'm sorry i'm getting excited and i'm running out of time that's when i get to talking a little bit too fast he goes on to say therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life for as by one man's disobedience adam many were made sinners even so by the obedience of one that's jesus many are made righteous so jesus and his obedience is what has made us righteous not our own works or holiness adam and his disobedience is what made us a sinner and born into sin not our personal sins even though we've all sinned and come short of the glory of god during my process this this was the and i i at least got to the heart of my journey this was the one that i mean i lived in those passages for i can't tell you how many months over and over because god and here's my relationship with god see you'll recover in your true identity in your relationship with god you'll discover your identity in the bible in the scriptures but you'll recover in your relationship with the lord and so in my relationship with the lord and me recovering i'm being honest with him i'm saying i'm reading this and i believe it but what happened in adam that i was born into in the image i still bear in my flesh seems so much more real to me still than the new image i've been created and recreated in the image of the lord jesus christ in my spirit man and the bible says right there this and me ruling over death should be more real than all that that's on that side and it's like i want that and so the real thing that really got me was the not as so is how can something be a nod as so is and who talks like that not as the violin so is the piano not as the cheerios so is the frosted flakes nobody talks like that what in the world is a not as so is a nod as so is is something that's similar but is profoundly different here's a not as so is not as a fishbowl so is the atlantic ocean both have fish both have water both have weeds but can i get a witness there's a comparison in a fish bowl and the ocean but there's no stinking comparison not is it not as a candle so is the noonday sun both give light both give heat but give me a break they're similar but can i get a witness they are far apart not as a firecracker so is an atomic bomb not as andrew womack ministries so is dwayne sheriff ministries father thank you for delivering me from dyslexia praise god i'm running out of time be sure to get the check as quick as you can hallelujah listen not as what the devil did in adam and its effect on you so is what our great and mighty god did in christ and its positive effect on you now through faith through faith not as what the devil did in adam in that garden and the death it created and the sickness it created and the brokenness and the pain and the yuck of this world not as what happened to the human race in this man and what satan did so is now what god did in the second man the last adam and in the new creation we are ruling and reigning over death over depression over sickness over poverty and we are ruling and reigning much more much more as what god did in christ than what the devil did in adam and yet most people because they haven't renewed their mind they haven't sold out to the kingdom of god and to their new identity in christ what satan did in adam and its effect on all of us seems more real to everybody than what our mighty god did in jesus at the cross and its positive effect of righteousness of joy of peace like a river i don't know about you but i am not going to allow what satan did in adam to dominate my life ever ever again i'm going to trust god for what he did in christ to dominate my thinking to dominate my feelings and to dominate how i go into a hurting world with good news of the death burial and resurrection of jesus amen hallelujah heavenly father i thank you for stretching forth your hand the hand of god the holy spirit working in the earth thank you for stretching forth your hand and in the name of the holy child jesus i pray for our eyes to be opened and i stand on the prayers we've prayed every session that the holy spirit is pulling the veil back of flesh and we're seeing the glory of god in the face of jesus thank you jesus for everything you did thank you for all you accomplished thank you for all that you've provided you've not cheated us you've not failed us you've not shortchanged us greater is he that is in us than he that is in this world and we will forever praise you and say thank you amen amen the lord has blessed you and the lord will keep you and the lord has made his face to shine upon you and been gracious unto you and the lord will lift up his countenance my favorite part of the blessing the lord will lift up his countenance i've looked at every one of you as i've ministered and i've done this and this and this but when i look right down here and i see sue i go that's what god does when he sees you he lifts up his countenance in the midst of the masses he lifts up his countenance and gives you peace i love you it's been a joy god bless you i tell you what using his analogy if he's the cleanup batter i think he just uh made a what do you call that a grand slam that's what i was thinking of he just hit a grand slam that's awesome you know let me real quickly just say a couple of things just to encourage you that you get the maximum benefit from this but when the lord began to show me these things i would just meditate it was like i got it in my heart but my brain couldn't figure this out and i remember for months i would just write out i probably had two or three hundred scriptures that i knew were saying things that i had never heard before and that would change my life but i just couldn't wrap my brain around it and i would write those things out long hands before we had computers and i would write them out and pray over them and then anyways long story but the short part of it is after six mo i would uh write them out and then i would get in our closet this was in jamie and i first got married and i would pray in tongues for an hour or two hours a day saying god give me understanding what does this mean and i did that for at least six months and then in one week's time it was like an atomic bomb went off on the inside of me and i just began to get it and everything i'm teaching now i saw back then at about 1973 but i saw it not in the detail that i've got it now and stuff but i mean it became alive but it came through seeking and meditating upon these things i promise you that if these things that have been said are new to you you haven't got it in its fullness you need to take it and meditate on it and i want to quickly just share two prayers that paul prayed for the people dwayne has referred to him i have to ephesians chapter one i would take this prayer and i would put my name in there because it's a scriptural prayer it's in the bible and there were two prayers here in ephesians that paul prayed let me just read this in verse this is ephesians chapter 1 and in verse 15 wherefore i also after i heard of your faith in the lord jesus and love unto all the saints cease not to give thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers that the god of our lord jesus christ the father of glory may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him and i would say father i pray that you would give unto me the spirit of wisdom and revelation that the eyes of my understanding would be enlightened that i may know what is the hope of your calling what is the riches of the glory of your inheritance which is uh and what is the exceeding greatness of your power towards me the same power that you used when you raised jesus christ from the dead and said him at your own right hands in the heavenly places far above all principality and power and might and and dominion and every name that is named not only in this world but also in that which is to come and uh has given him a name that is above every name and anyway i messed that up but i just read all of that and i want to go real quickly down to ephesians chapter 3. here's another prayer he says i'm praying in verse 16 that he would grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man that christ may dwell in your hearts by faith that you being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all saints the breadth and length and depth and height and to know the love of christ which passeth knowledge that you might be filled with all the fullness of god and now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power that works within us he can do that for you but anyway these are two prayers and so if the lord has spoken to you take these things meditate on them write them out think about it pray in tongues and pray these prayers and say father i'm praying that you'd give me revelation and i can promise you this god wants you to know these things more than you want to know it and if you'll just cooperate with him and give him time it takes time for these things to penetrate this old sin consciousness and and adam nature and mentality that all of us had it's like a sponge you just don't dip it in the water and pull it out and it's not saturated you have to put it there and let it soak so anyway i encourage you to get these things meditate on it again this is another reason that you need to get this conference on cd or dvd but i believe this has been awesome and uh this could could be a deal changer a life changer so thank you again for coming i'm going to have the prayer ministers come down one last time and man if you want to just come and say would you please pray and agree with me that i get this revelation whatever it is that we can do for you please let us help and come down here and receive prayer do we still have the cafe open do we have any food here today food trucks or anything just the cafes but anyway you're welcome please take advantage of all of those things out there the all of our different booths that we have thank you for coming god bless you i believe you're never going to be the same again in the name of jesus you are dismissed you
