Kings that's not a Bible please get to second Kings 13 20 and 21 here now the word of the Lord Elisha died and was buried now more by graders used to enter the country every spring once while some Israelites who are burying a man suddenly they saw a band of Raiders so they threw the man's body into Elijah's tomb when the body touched Elijah's bones the man came to life and stood up on his feet you may be seated in the presence of our God I want to preach for a little while this morning using as a subject I'm trying to pull myself together I'm trying to pull myself together but you look at the person beside you and tell them would you please pray for me I'm trying to pull myself together my dear friends it wasn't too many Sundays ago after doing three services here I flew to another city to minister for a fourth time in one day when that service was concluded I immediately felt depleted and felt like I needed to rest but our roles in the middle of the night realizing that I was dehydrated stumbled out of my hotel room down the hall in search of a vending machine in order to secure a bottle of water to my surprise and dismay and it a sign taped on the machine there's it out of order I was perplexed and perturbed because of the ambiguity of the announcement out of order what does that mean out of order was it out of product or did that mean how out of order was it unable to dispense change out of order what did that mean out of order with the refrigeration aspect on the brink out of order or was there something undefined going on here this on the inside because the outside of the machine looked just fine I didn't know all it said was out of order for far too many of us feel like a vending machine you don't know exactly what's wrong but you sense something is broken you been contending with unscheduled depression so dramatic the variables that is not mood swings is a mood rollercoaster yet those suppress thoughts of hurting yourself it's hard to convince you that you are worthy of being loved you have to vacillate between warning the pain to stop and warning and longing to feel anything at all some of us are documented and others of us have had no diagnosis but there can be no debate that something is out of order God despises chaos to such a degree that in Genesis one being in the midst of it caused him to speak when the world and the earth was void and full of darkness and chaos God said let there be and he did so with one thing in mind there would just be order in it amazing friends that is chaos that causes God to talk when things are out of order God can't buy this tongue Sam this morning simply to alert you of the fact that God's about to bring order and structure to your chaotic life God's getting ready to move because he can handle seeing you live in Caen fusion you are not supposed to be a citizen of disarray so in the in coming days God's given Betty to do something to bring your life into complete order there is a structure to success had he made man first we would have died had he made man first we would have died why because theirs would have been no son to sustain us no water to rejuvenate us no vegetation to nourish us no stars to guide us no rain to replenish us we were created last because there had to be everything in order first so when you realize that we were created last it helps you to understand the expression he saves the best for last and I want to say this to the person who's sitting behind you it may be taking you longer to get what you need because God's building a complete world to house you he has to make sure that it's structured correctly before he plants you in it don't get in a rush for God to move he's working on something and he does everything in decency and in order the problem is you want skin with no skeleton says I'm a God of decency and order so watch me build a structure first the infrastructure of our creation I don't think is appropriately appreciated when you consider the detail that it takes just to keep you together do you know how much it takes to keep you together let me go a step further day of leash I'm time I'll just a shot it takes a lot to keep you together we have 270 bones at our birth 270 bones at our birth and by the time you reach 30 you're down to 206 which means that divine the inception there are some things I hope you'll get it 3 of you I hope you write it down there are some things God designed for you to outgrow and you don't even know that it's missing it is my prayer for those of you who are watching online those of you who are in this room I pray that God will so develop you that wind you grow you won't even know what you're missing there you'll be able to function without it and feel no pain the brilliance of bones is that they are constantly remodeling and changing shape to adapt to varying demands and pressures they don't even ask for your attention because structure knows how to move in silence whenever it is that there is no structure there'll always be no ways when there is structure he can move seamlessly I want you to please our arm yourself with a writing instrument I want you to go to the appropriate place in your tablet and your smartphone I want to talk to you for just a few moments on the functions of bones the functions of bar it's going to help you I know you don't think you need it but you need it function of bones the first one I want you to write this down please is support is support bones provide a framework for the attachment of muscles and other tissues broken bones here this is nothing more I want you to write this down broken bones is broken support or broken family or broken self-esteem or broken dreams means something has happened with your support system my bones are supposed to give me support and when that's broken it's hard for me to stand on it first thing that bones do is offer support second thing I want you to write this down class please second thing I want you to do is write down that bones are for protection bones specifically the skull and riched ribcage protect the internal organs from injury the skulls only job is to protect your mind the rib cages only job is to protect your heart maybe you miss that I wish I was in a Christian Church if I was in a Christian Church you would know that when Jesus was crucified he was crucified in a place called Golgotha and that translates to mean the place of the skull can y'all put that together 7:30 please Jesus died to protect my mind man mental health was sacrificed on Calvary and because I am in fact covered in my mind everything the enemy is doing is to undo the work of Calvary and drive me to insanity I know many of you only want to shout over material intangible things but the reason why I want you to give God glory is with everything you under you haven't lost your mind he's covering your mind and not only covering your mind but you thank God watch this for the bones that are enacted watch this just to protect your heart you ought to look back over your life and look at all the times you were wounded and played and manipulate it and yet you are not bitter yet in spite of all of it all you live with no regret Wow cuz he covered your heart hallelujah and some of you ought to be thankful under God with everything that has happened to you and the way that you should be treated you've been traded you should be cold and honoré you should be repulsive Trenton you ought to be vengeful but you ought to say God thank you for covering my heart and in spite of the way that people treated me yet abused me me thank you my heart is still the intact here you protects my heart further ladies and gentleman the bones are there for movement did you write that down please bones are there for movement bones the enable body movement by acting as levers and points of attachment for muscles you break your bone you you you can't you can't move it it is the diabolical into Inchon of the adversary to break your bones simply because the enemy wants you stagnant god hallelujah in it amazing that it was in fact the intention of the Roman Empire to break the bones of Jesus hallelujah but they could not do it why pastor because you can't stop a move of God and I'm here for 50 of you that ought to know even in this moment God is getting ready to move in your direction hallelujah I don't know how you feel about it but I feel like that in this season of your life you are getting ready to experience an unparalleled move of God hallelujah God's get ready to move why because he's got to move me out of some stuff but not only does he have to move me out of some stuff he's got to move my entire family out of some stuff I don't know where you are but I speak to a legion of art angels to begin moving on your behalf then wherever you are right now this is not your last stop but God has given ready to help you bust a move hallelujah movement is getting ready to happen on your behalf I need you right where you are to just look down your row and tell them get ready for a move of God forth I want you to write this down please is mineral storage mineral

your dash and saying empty he said no I understand that he said that's for the first tank oh god I wish I had somebody in here that's that's for the first thing but how about the thing that makes my car so valuable is that it has a second tank hallelujah so that when the first one runs out is able to switch into the second one some of y'all don't know good preaching when you hear it that there are some people who've been riding with you who've been anticipating your breakdown and and and they thought you were gonna lose it last year and don't know how it is that you keep going and you gotta

no strength no nutrients how you think you gonna make it there are people who are trying to bring some semblance of balance back into their lives and all they need you to do is to donate one of your bones because they're living a vulnerable life they're living a meagre existence and yet you are so absorbed that even in death you won't support other people even in death you don't even feel like you should protect somebody else from feeling vulnerable you have to go after living a stuck life you still won't help somebody else get movement the process is called bone grafting it's a surgical pursuit procedure that replaces missing bones in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex this is for people who are in a place that pose a significant health risk and feel like their health is getting ready to fail and they just can't heal properly because they're missing a significant bone I want you please if you'll free your hands of your phone even of you have your pen even of

sealing of the blood of Calvary not one day for the rest of this year will your life be order because all things are working out for your good simply because you love him and if you believe with me

God is bringing divine order to your life [Applause] I'm in 2nd Kings chapter 13 the man of God who performed more miracles than anybody in the Bible except for Jesus y'all hear what I just said as a man in the Bible he he performed watch this more miracles in the Bible over everybody except for Jesus his name is Elijah and here's what I want you to know about him is that Elijah was anointed he got a double portion of his mentor Elijah and I need you to hear this I need you to have it is even maybe for somebody who's watching me today from from a hospital room he is anointed and did what God asked him to do y'all stay with me and became gravely ill one of the false proponents that are afoot amongst prosperity gospel practitioners suggest that if you have faith you won't ever feel sickness that you won't ever deal with disease but I want you to know that you can live for God and still go through bouts of physical challenges God I can't hear anybody in here just just because you're going through and your body you don't mean God has forsaken you hallelujah you are anointed even while your ailing God's hand is on your life even when you don't feel your best he became sick so sick what's this that they don't even know what's wrong with him they can't even put a label on it and much like the woman with the issue of blood rather than getting better he got worse and that sickness ended up in death and he died anointed a full life serving God he didn't get caught up in clouds world winds or angels he died because his body failed does that mean God for sukham does that mean God abandoned him and left him says no my commitment was to your soul all this can perish even when Satan was going up and down seeking whom he can devour he gave Satan a provisional license and said you can touch his body but his soul belongs to me hallelujah I'm telling you there was nothing like a worshiper that don't feel good but still feels God or y'all didn't hear what I just said it out nothing confuses the enemy more when your body right but your soul is lined up I'm getting ready to confuse the adversary today I don't need you to shout right now if everything in your body is tip-top but if you can praise God even while you're taking medication if if you can praise God even why you gotta schedule doctor's appointment if if you can praise God well you can't jump about that bed like you used to but you made the commitment I will the law I gotta leave this week and make my way to Phoenix Arizona a dear covenant friend Bishop Alexis Thomas 50 years of age died this week

yeah y'all just missed it huh I'm gonna say this just a 17-yard my time is grossly over but you know you are hallelujah in divine timing when the attack on your life comes use it as a indicator my harvest must be ready hallelujah if I weren't getting ready to yield the crap the enemy wouldn't be coming in my direction but because everything I sold is getting ready to come to me that's why the enemy is coming after me the enemy came in the spring and trying to take the harvest of those who had worked through the winner and at that time ladies and gentlemen Elisha is in in an open grave and they get ready to bury somebody with no name with no reputation with no pedigree and because the enemy is coming in mass they're trying to figure out what to do with this dead body I wish you would just take time and start reading your Bible if you fall in love with the Bible I'm telling you you won't need HBO today the grave is open what's this and they throw the body of a dead man on Elijah's here it is bones God y'all gonna love this when they throw it on his bones something crazy happens yes the dead man comes back to life hallelujah y'all miss your shall die hallelujah I wish you would have had coffee first before you came here because you would have been able to receive this better they throwed the dead body on anointed man's pounds they didn't even know what they were doing god help me in here is because what they didn't realize the empowerment is that his anointing is in his bones hallelujah it ain't on my skin hallelujah because you can strip me of that hallelujah but my anointing is in my structure hallelujah that's why the enemy is trying to bring confusion to your life is because you live a life of order and whenever the enemy is coming he's trying to disrupt the order in the structure of your life but would you give somebody a high five until your neighbor I'm bad to the bone hallelujah is that wind that man who was there to touch Elijah's bones the Bible says that he jumped back on his feet because he touched his and on the reason why the enemy can't stand you is because you are anointed what is dead or alive okay you're no party in here because even if I was dead I'd still be more anointed than my haters case you're no party in here would you grab somebody real quick by the hand and tell them I'm anointed down mmm my bones is there anybody here that understands now that I'm anointed from the top of my head to the sole of my feet that's why I had to tell the animators that you can take my house because my anointing ain't in my house you can take my car because my anointing ain't in my car you can take my money because my anointed ain't in my you can take my clothes because my anointing a NEMA clothes on the inside is where my anointing is and that's why that protect Sarah I need you to help or your neighbor and tell them the anointing on my life yes protecting me from dangers have seen and unseen the anointing this on my life is supporting me even when family walks away from me the anointing on eyes is giving me movement and that's why I can't sit there like a bump on the law but we're not fake of the goodness of Jesus he's done for me my soul cries out hallelujah thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you I'm trying to let it go but I feel like lifting him up and this joy the well been given and the world can't take it away give somebody I have had and say you are anointed now to your bones you are jointed every area of your eyes you are anointed nothing that the devil can do about it kiss your I feel my grandfather didn't give it and the world can't take it away glad somebody and second real good and say neighbor government shutdown just opened up here when I said government shutdown but just opened up shut up in my bowl like Jamaa it just won't get just watch and shall slow get job think about what he's done for me to me you better praise here which you open up your muffin shop like you

in February whoever sits in your sea in the next two services if they're not saved they can't find Jesus Christ today those of you who believe that God is still in the soul saving business I want you to give God your unparalleled praise come on give it to him we are not just hearers of the word but we're doers also amazing Testament about Elijah is that even in death he was still saving people as amazing he did double the miracles of his mentor Elijah in the one they forgot to give him credit for is the one he did from the grave telling what an incredible attribute an asterisk to your obituary is that even after you died you were still helping people yeah god I can't hear nobody with somebody give God glory just on that possibility that even in my death I gave somebody my bonus who couldn't stay on who couldn't walk who couldn't open doors they're using my bones in order to do it it's amazing ladies and gentlemen there's somebody in this room who's not saved somebody who's in this room watch this who's never given their life to Christ and they don't even understand that the reason why they're able to have access is because Jesus was a donor after death hallelujah we talked about all of the water turned into wine and the to fish and the five loaves of bread but his greatest miracle is what he gave through death was access to salvation I don't know where you are but you all know that the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life I want to open the doors of the church in two Sundays from now we're all going to the highways and the byways of this community but you can't do it in the street if you ain't gonna do it in the sanctuary come on y'all we got to be a soul winners Church I'm excited I'm telling you I am telling you we're gonna defy the odds for the Baltimore annual conference well we'll be able to announce bishop we're able to bring 100 souls in one day and we didn't even do it in church I want you all to help me please because I don't want you to think for one moment that soul-winning is just the job of the pastor hallelujah dr.
