for a brief moment to remain standing amen because i wanted to i told you that i was going to say something this morning no man take it from me what the plan was was to talk to us for five minutes and then after service this morning we would have had with all the groupon folks a little meeting to go into details a sales meeting because we can't we're just trying to have a seats meeting together over two sittings and we just can't seem to have it i hear the prime minister is going to talk this morning and and somehow we might not get to meet i believe the numbers might even fall so we're not going to do as was initially planned although i didn't want to do it that way comes wednesday we all meet group one two three and four on zoo and based on what we are gonna talk about it doesn't matter who else joins in so we we won't meet after service today we should have sent something out we didn't and for good reasons and after the second service would have met with those things and they would have met with a group training group for this week and go through but it doesn't seem it's gonna happen that way so we will meet on zoo on wednesday and i meet with all of us and go through some things praise god but you know we were at the park and we had to leave we had to move on and we have thank god for allowing us this place in which to worship can we praise the lord everybody you're able to lift your hands in the house amen you're able to be in walls again and the truth is even though we're happy for that there is still a void because we do not have a permanent place amen that we can say this is where the family of faith chapters sit and worship at any time we don't have a place and so we have been praying and we have been seeking god and i want you to know sometimes i'm a little bit timid to talk because of and for different reasons but i'm just not timid at all i really want us to know that we have been praying and walking around looking all around toned we can find nowhere we can find nowhere nowhere close enough to where we were and when bishop grizzle was where he was it was for a reason he was placed there for a reason and we serve that entire community so we don't want to go downtown that anything is wrong with no we don't want to go far from where he was planted but we have been looking and brothers and sisters saints of the most high god i'm gonna give it to us in two this morning i want us to know that we have identified a spot i would like us to know that we have located a place that seemingly at this point is going to be available to us we have signed a memorandum of understanding we have exchanged letters and we are on the verge of putting ink to paper on a sales contract as i speak to you know we are just about stepping over the jordan and i would have said more had the ink been on the paper but it was paused by me simply because we wanted a little more information but as we speak our understanding is between us and the sellers who we approached they didn't offer it to sail we approached them and at first they didn't want to but they just opened and said have it saints of the most high god told this to us to let us know that to close the gap i want all of us to be in prayer and in fasting and so this tuesday this wednesday we're gonna be tuesday up to six o'clock wednesday up to six o'clock and we will be fasting and praying together every able body to see it i ask that we be in fasting and in prayer on tuesday and on wednesday and then seven o'clock on wednesday we will send the link to all of us we be in service on zoo for a special meeting of the sales so that we can get into some details and provide you with more information i say that because by that time we should have the ink on the paper god's willing and we can speak some more but sins of god i just i just feel before i declare where that we band ourselves together in prayer and fasting and then by evening wednesday we get into some more details now this one i can assure us is going to be one of the greatest step of faith and don't blame me for being so audacious with what it is that we are proposing to do don't blame me blame is daddy if you want anybody to blame for me being auditious and taking them big old crazy step blame her daddy is him teach me and told me when you're going to make the move make it big and don't watch anything well since god [Music] via the internet we are on the have verge we have located a spot and we believe god is going to open the door but there's something that he flooded my soul with which when we preach we talk about but i believe before we do the final thing all of us must be involved and and our involvement at this time is going to be prior and in fasting and so this tuesday right down until six this wednesday right down until six we're going to those two days being fasting and in prayer and the main focus is going to be sanctuary now you remember when we started that all of a sudden we had to leave the park because things started to happen and then we eventually had to leave god was on the move and he's moving we're gonna be praying only for one thing over these two days that god opened the door and that this place becomes ours and we have a permanent place to worship sins of the most high god it is going to require and mind i say we have made a tremendous step already and we have pleased funds down being held until we do the finals and then goes to paper then and only then we declare where and we start the ball rolling i will just say additionally we are going to know how to put in gear more than any other time our campaign to fund this massive project it is massive because it is not being quoted to us in jamaican dollars it is us dollars but if god can't give us jamaican dollars to buy somewhere god can give us u.s dollars to buy anywhere and so all the family of faith chapel here in jamaica over there in the diaspora whether in the uk the us canada over in europe anywhere wherever you are we call upon the family and the friends and the supporters of faith chapel and the apostolic ministries to gear up we are moving into high gear for something exceptional in terms of the scope of it and i want us to bear that in mind i believe that's enough right now to stimulate our minds and to lead us to prayer and we hold the rest until we meet on wednesday and then we start to talk some more but sayings of god bear this in mind don't wait until tuesday and wednesday to start praying start praying right now start praying from today i know something good is going to happen and it will require the effort of every one of us can we stand and put our hands together and lift them in the ear as we give praises to god for what i believe he is going to allow to happen can we put our hands in the ear and clap them and thank god for what we have not seen as yet and what he's going to do praise god praise god praise god our god is faithful what that sound says faithful so we're going close with that faithful is the lord and we are going to take him at his word and we are going to believe in his fearfulness and from this deal and until we march into that property we're going to remind god every day that we are trusting in his faithfulness do you know that our god is faithful can you declare that our god is fearful amen i want us to think about it and i want us to worship him and i want us to magnify him and i want us to glorify him so i'm going to ask the choir because these four represent the choir and they're gonna sing and lead us in this song faithful is our god and i want us to believe it and i want us to join with them and i want us to worship and i want us to magnify him glory to god glory to god [Music] glory to god [Music] faithful faithful faithfully [Music] faithful faithful is our god faithful faithful faithful is our god [Music] i promise we take back for i shall recover it all yes i rejoice today for i shall recover it all

he's here and we welcome him we say welcome blessed holy ghost we welcome you praise god what a god you know i just sat after standing here while i sat down and i went on the phone to go into the service because every now and then i tune into this service amen from the phone just to see what is happening on the live stream every now and then i do that and as i picked up the phone to press there was something on the screen still waiting it came right into my whatsapp and one sister said god bless you bishop i feel it already in essence and i'm pledging five hundred thousand dollars right now to what is about to happen i didn't mention anything about money because i decided not to but i want us to understand firstly we will be putting in place a campaign team and on that committee we will have someone that is a chartered accountant and we are going to be separating those funds and every cent that comes for this program will be going there and it will be administered by a committee of trustees and already in our meeting with the elders not the general group but i met with the elders i indicated that i wanted to appoint elder marlon bailey to cheer that campaign that will lead the fundraising effort for us and cheer those folks that will sit as trustees over those funds i want to do that because i want us to understand that when those things come in they are for the sole purpose of the project at hand the task at hand which is a big one and i believe that if we can raise 10 million dollars in jamaica the effort that we take to do that if we are going to in the states raise it it's going to be the same effort i believe god is going to open doors and the funds will come when we get into the details you will see what i'm talking about in terms of but whatever it is that the folks have asked and i know the figure already we will talk about it god is more than able to open the windows of heaven and to flood it so that we can make the move and it has to happen quickly we have like six to eight months to make some part of the thing happen but we will know more but god is at work and i thank that person for making that commitment and we have not yet even asked but that is how god is and that is a sign i believe of things to come i was moved just now but god is already at work and the lord richly reach the blessing you may be seated amen in the presence of the lord i greet all of us again i agree with sister daily and he says to grizzle in our absence amen all the same this is the sofia i haven't seen you since we came here but it's good to see you amen god bless you amen all the saints around i greet you again amen in the land of the world wide web greetings in jesus name just a note here sister watson amen sister isilda watson amen the service of thanksgiving for her will be this thursday it's not going to be in town it's going to be over in manchester where her family is a group of us will go over but just to let the saints know that sister watson will be going down to rest amen this thursday and we ask that we remember to pray for her family amen god bless you in his great name praise god we're reading from the book of esther esther chapter number four and just a few thoughts just a few moments amen to share something with us amen from this book praise god and esther chapter number 4 and we go to verse 14 and you can be seated this time i'll just read follow for if thou altogether wholeness thy peace at this time then shall their enlargement and deliverance arise to the jews from another place but thou art and thy father's house shall be destroyed and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this a simple thought for the word towards this morning and it is taken from the last clause of verse 14 of esther chapter four who knows whether though i'd come to the kingdom for such a time as this praise god you wanna you have the mike pray hallelujah praise god father we're so very thankful for your love and your mercies thank you god for this privilege to be here today lord god we are gathered to hear from you lord through your servant we have sung your praise and we worship you god comes time to hear from you lord we ask that you will anoint god your servant from the crown of his head to the souls of his future god help him to speak god as an oracle as only you alone can oh god give that power touch him i pray and god that we whatever we hear will be exactly what you want us to hear have you holy we pray in jesus name amen amen can we praise the lord everybody can we praise the lord everybody we know the story in the book of esther very well the great king ruled from ethiopia all the way around india taking in the middle east and all those places the king of persia some call his name asha hurus i think some says this is the same xerxes but this was a great king and he had a massive feast for all those in his kingdom and those that were near to him and we know the story how in the latter part of the feast he sent for his queen vashtai to come so he could let those men around see the beauty of who was his queen we know the story that she refused to come and somehow the king banished her she was no longer queen and he started his search for another queen he went into all his provinces the bible said there were 100 and about 20 province and when they talk about province they were countries but they were no longer operating as countries because he had a kingdom and the kingdom was like taking in all of those countries so ethiopia was a province amen and india and all of those places that were around in those regions they were provinces he had a hundred and roughly 120 of them so his kingdom was vast and wide and he sent into his kingdom to get some young virgins and you can imagine in such a vast kingdom it would have been many that fit the bill and yet out of those thousands that might have presented themselves or hundreds and hundreds of thousands that might have presented themselves the bible said the number came down it was almost like the miss universe pageant everybody in the world came together uh to try to present themselves as the most beautiful but here it was that amongst all within the provinces it boiled down to a few and from the few it ended up that esther was chosen to be the queen that would replace vashtai and it might seem just as a normal thing that it had to be somebody it's just that it fell on esther but i submit to us this morning that it is much much more than that it is not by chance that esther became queen and was able to have access to the presence of the king it was not by chance that she ended up a man being a simple village girl a jew and happened to be at a place at the time when all that happened in persia was happening it was not by chance i have found out that the almighty god that he deals with he doesn't deal with chance and i've said that before he's very uh strategic and he's very organized and he's well put together and he knows how so without mordecai or esther or the king himself knowing what was happening god already saw that there was going to be a man that hated the jews and wanted to get rid of them and the man came and used trickery to trick the king for him to sign a decree to get rid of all the jews both in persia in shushan where the palace was and all the provinces around the kings side not even realizing what he was doing because a particular man tricked him into doing that and they were getting ready to slaughter the children of god the jews that were in persia at the time but word came around to mordecai and he realized what was happening and the bible said he quickly got over to esther esther was now chosen esther was now in the palace esther was no queen and all of a sudden it was only at that time that the plot came out that there was going to be a total slaughter of the people of god all around so the bible said mordecai went over to esther and said listen we're about to be annihilated we are about to be wiped out they are about to get rid of us and the only person that can do anything about it is the king your husband so here what you're going to do esther you have got to go into the presence of the king on our behalf and cause him to put a stop to this thing but esther said no no no that cannot happen because nobody can go into the presence of the king unless they are called by him and if you dare to go in the presence of the king without him sending for you it is certain death so mordecai said to her i know but you cannot think about yourself at this time you cannot even think about death at this time there is a situation that has confronted all of us as people of god and we have got to deal with it and if that man is the only man that can open his hands or open his mouth to make it happen esther you are the only one that have access to him and esther thought about it and she said well you need to understand you know if i go without him beckon me beckoning me it is possible that i will die but then she made up her mind and said if i perish i perish but i must see the king because the cause was great what was about to happen was going to be total tragedy there was a situation and it doesn't matter if the situation is death or something or life or whatever it is if it is a desperate situation and you've got to go to a place where the answer is i challenge you you better go there because it's for the deliverance of the people and it is for the glory of god and esther made up her mind that she was going to go into the presence of the king and if she die i will die but i must see the king because the cause is great so esther put herself in a royal apparel and went down into the chamber where the king was without him calling for her i can imagine her trembling i can imagine her fear i can imagine her anxiety because that is unheard of all the king has to do is put up one finger and they'll take her away but then she went in bully not knowing that god already worked on the king i find that there is something about god sometimes we worry about something or we worry about what the boss is going to say or we worry about what they are going to do when they find out and we don't even know that the prayers that we have been praying god heard the prayer and god have a way he will hear your prayer and say nothing to you but he works and the people that will make the decisions and when you're worrying that they're going to fire you when you step inside is a promotion again who could it be but the god of god has a way of working on situations that when you think it would have set you down you have prayed and you got no answer it happened to joseph and he was just going down down down and we thought it was going to be an impossible task but when god has heard the prayer even if he doesn't get back to us he turns the situation and all of a sudden he was who was in the pit and he who was in the prison became the second in command god makes it happen like that he always works that way when we cannot see what is happening he is in the sideline working i want somebody to understand this morning that god is at work right now i want somebody to understand this morning that even though we cannot see it i believe deep down in my heart that is already moving on some people and moving on some folks over there and over there and over there and whatever your situation is when you step out step out by faith you need to understand that your god is fearful you need to understand that your god will always deliver you need to understand that your god is always looking out for you always busy opening doors that you cannot see it might seem like it takes a while but don't worry about the length of time just understand that god is on your side and the doors will eventually open somebody praised god and vashta who was deposed and replaced by esther was noah's side esther was now in and she went before the presence of the king and listen sometimes some folks will never move until they hear from you you know how important you are you know how important your voice is don't be afraid to make the move and talk to your superior don't be afraid to make the move and talk to that neighbor that is giving you a warm time don't be afraid to make the move to go to that person that you think will not hear you you will be surprised that while you're there trembling and quaking the person is there saying i wonder how i can get to this young man or this young woman you would be surprised sometimes that the boss that you think is wicked is sitting down there and say i want to give this person the promotion but i don't know how to approach them and you might be there thinking they're going to cut your neck and just one moment of dialogue you realize it wasn't as bad as you thought i want us to know that god is on your side people of the most high god and as rough as it might appear and as bad as it might look he is busy working it out for you i love the god of heaven i love how he operates i appreciate the fact that i cannot fathom him i appreciate the fact that i cannot work out how he does this i like him to be that way if we could work him out he just wouldn't be god if we could just know what he's going to do he just wouldn't be god but he's like this you would just not know that you're on the verge and he's already holding you you know that some of us who believe we have lost don't even realize that we have already won and that while what you're going through is the after effects of the struggle that you were in but our mind tells us that we have lost no you have not you are on the winning side and the god that you serve is holding on to you and he will not let you go somebody praise god somebody praise the lord and esther told the king exactly what was happening and the king got up and put his plans together and all of a sudden the table turned because one person decided that i am going to be who i must be even if it costs me my life and she went in fearful that maybe her neck would be caught but all of a sudden the king raised the scepter and she went in and she told him everything saints of god what am i saying the scripture tells us who knows if it is for a time like this that thou have become queen what he was saying is simply this we recognize that the only person given what is happening and the slaughter that they want to bring upon the jews the only person that can get to the king to change the decree would be his queen is it by chance that all the events that happened happen and you have become queen at this time and at no other time and mordecai said that he said listen and if we go further up and start to read you'll realize that he was pointing out some things to her look at all that was happening look at all the unusual events look at the queen vashta who would normally have known the rules and know that she had to come and she hardened her heart and didn't come and knew what the consequences were and yet she did it and then all of a sudden she was out and they choose out of her thousands of folks you and you became king and you a jew a child of the living god and at this particular time what mordecai was suggesting is that this was not by chance this was the work of almighty god he knew beforehand that the plan was going to come to slaughter the people of god so he planned from way ahead that i was going to take this young lady and i was going to position her here at this time so that when they called she would have been right at the spot and then they would have taken her and put her in a group and when they did the final test god organizes that she would have been chosen and when she went to sit as queen nobody knew that she was a jew the bible said mordecai said to her hide it don't let anybody know because they might want to harm you and so she was there as a child of god quietly and all of a sudden the time came when something desperate happened and guess who they had to call and the one person alone who could get to the king the lead who got put in the seat to sit on the ass queen and when the time came she stood up and she went before the king i want you to know that you might be sitting in a place and think that you're a simple person but god might have planted you i i want to tell you god might plant you right in the bank right now where you have access to the president god might have planted you right in the house of the billionaire where you alone have access to that billionaire god might have planted you right in the house right across the street in the office of that person who with one word from his mouth he can do a mighty mighty or make a mighty major thing happen you need to understand that when it comes to the things of god and when it comes to the people of god you might be in a position that will change the situation in somebody's life or in a situation roundabout i spoke to a sister that she is simple she is a child of god she is a powerful woman of god and god direct me to speak to her few days ago and i said but i know the kind of work that she does and you know it is not a executive position but she worked in the house and i said god and i was just there relating and i said you know god and and he said talk to her so i got up and i called the sister and i said you know something is happening and we need somebody to move to get certain people to start moving on our behalf and the sister said oh all right i'm going to talk to and she called his first name and i said no problem man because we want to do this and we want to do that no brothers and sisters the first name of the person that she called was the diplomat in some consulate and guess what she works at his house you know what kind of rigmarole i would have had to go through to go to the office drop off a letter wait for a call and next year the call might not come but the sister just got up and said okay by the following day she called back and said i sat down with and called his first name and he said listen i'm gonna tell you what to do just like that you would be surprised that as a simple person you might be in a place for such a time as this and i want you to know don't think that you are just a simple person you have been washed in the blood you have the mark of jesus christ upon your life you are not ordinary you are extraordinary you can get up and start to walk and it sounds like an army walking behind you because you are a son and thought of god i want us to understand that if we are going to band ourselves together don't see yourself as insignificant you are not the bible said esther start when we read the book she was so quiet anything mordecai told her to do she just did it and she kept quiet she didn't answer she did nothing nothing at all but the bible tells us as i get ready to close the bible tells us that after the call was made on her life and mordecai told her that she had a responsibility as a daughter of god and having access to the presence of the king and told her to use it she stepped out and became a different woman she said okay and it's as if she was transformed and she said listen to me no mordechai hear what you're gonna do call everybody together and declare three days and three nights of fast i'm gonna get ready and then i'm gonna go before the king and then i'm gonna do and all of a sudden she was just pulled there's just something about when we make up our mind that we are going to do what we can for god all of a sudden our potential is going to emerge and that man that is inside of us that assignment that is there that many of us don't even know uh you're going to see it emerging we have got to be bold and we have got to be ready and we have got to decide that i am going to step out now every one of us have an assignment everyone from the least to the greatest and most of us have not stepped out into our potential because we think we are ordinary we faltered along the way i said it last week i don't care who you are or if you faltered or if you fall there is a bomb in killian and once he applies the healing bomb and you are restored get up and walk again and as you walk make up your mind that you're gonna give him everything and allow the potential the sea that is inside of you to just burst out and terminate and you be the person whom he can use to bring about his glory one simple woman one quiet lady and an entire nation was saved because she dared to look beyond herself and said if i perish i perish but i must see the king and she saw the king and she declared what she needed in fear and while she was worried that the king may have caught her throat when she approached the king the king said come anything you want up to the half of my kingdom she never expected that she thought that if you go before the king and i'm doing carly is dead coming your way can you imagine the worst and when you go you get the best it is always like that and many times we are unaware i want this family of faith chapel to understand that you are special every single one of you i want you to know that you have something inside of you every single one of you i want you to know that you have something to offer to the kingdom of god every single one of us and if you don't even know what it is just be a child of god just be an old-time christian that knows how to pray and to worship and to find the presence of god and whatever the crisis is go before him like esther did and present your kiss and allow god to play the game of chess that is the expert of as i close chess is a game of wits chess is a game of concentration and everybody makes their move to checkmate the opponent well god almighty is the greatest chess player and if he's moving people around he knows where to put you and when to put you where and when he's done with you you're going to checkmate you're going to be on the winning side because the person that is controlling the player is none other than the almighty who knows the end from the beginning all we have to do like esther is to make ourselves available are you available are you available will you step out if i perish i perish but i must see the king because when i see him i will tell him and rule out what the knees are the nature of the crisis who to tell if the reason that you are safe no and you're in the job that you are in no and you associate with the people that you associate with no who to tell that it is not because of the need that we have at this time i believe with all my heart that god is going to use simple people to do imaginable things to bring glory to his great and powerfulness i believe god is going to take simple people when i told you i was going on live stream a moment ago and i saw the note a simple person you would be so surprised and could make such a pledge god is going to use simple people and yours might not even be money yours might just be oh i know yours might just be your knees because that is all that you have to offer and open up the windows an intercessor for such a time as this and so as i close i ask the same question that we start with who to tell if you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this i believe all of us are here this day not by chance but we are going to be called upon to play a role a significant role a powerful role and only you alone will be here i'll be able sorry to play that role and so i challenge every saint of god this morning be strong be the best that you can be give him the best in service that you can give him and allow him to use you to invest to inject into the kingdom for such a time as this god bless you and as i close as i this is the third time i'm saying that and i'm this is the final time as i close i noticed two things that esther did when she was about to move she said call for a fast and she invited the presence of the lord and then she said let everybody fast from the baby to the elder let them fast so she was talking about a collective action solidarity what we are about to understand of the most high god from the baby to the elder we are going to be praying together we learn that from esther and we are going to be in solidarity which means one accord and one mind it means collectively we are going to be praying we are going to be seeking god we are going to be working we are going to be doing what must be done this is the message from esther this is the message from esther identify the need crisis the problem to find god in fasting and prayer and tree bind ourselves together in solidarity and let's collectively take on the mountain give me this mountain i will go do it in jesus name god bless you in the name of our great god and savior in jesus name praise god praise god [Music] praise god oh god who knows it united kingdom for to the time

thank you and let us not just be hearers afterwards but to us we want as we leave today to apply them to our hearts think upon these words meditate on these words praise god and as we're about to close i wouldn't want to do that without giving you an opportunity if you're here without god i would want to extend that invitation to you praise god we want you to seek him while he may be found call upon him while he's near her today is the day of salvation and if you hear his voice arguing at your heart who promised tomorrow tomorrow is not promised we're not sure what's going to happen we can leave here this afternoon this morning we've never lived to see another day but today right now you have a chance and i want you to to invite you you're here with all the holy ghost we can just pray for you before we leave and if you're not yet accepted christ praise god we're not just talking about somebody putting your name in a book in a register we're talking about repenting of your sins praise god and that means to be sorry for your sins pledging to go back not to go back there anymore but to take a right turn move away from it and to say lord i'm sorry repent of your sin be baptized in the love the name of jesus christ for the remission or the removal of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the holy ghost praise god and that's attainable so let me just invite the church to
