in this service and this is a wake-up call amen if you haven't heard the alarm the Holy Ghost is sounding the alarm all month long wake up the mighty man Oh glory to God that gets me excited because I know God is getting ready to do great things are you in 1st Samuel Chapter 17 look at verse 4 just say there's my prom and there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath Oh gasps I looked up that word Goliath just cause it sounded ugly and the translation of it is he is one who was cast out and exiled that's what it name means he was just somebody nobody wanted to be around big bad and ugly that's who he was just say that's who my enemy is the Bible describes him here we won't go through all of it but just know this he was over 13 foot tall and his armor weighed in excess of 300 pounds in other words every inch of his body was covered with protective armor and he had a man holding a shield out in front of him just in case you know that wasn't enough in other words nobody could touch him in the natural are you hearing what I'm saying and you might be facing an obstacle tonight I don't know what your Goliath is tonight but in the natural it looks like there is no way you're possible you're going to be able to get through I don't know if you're facing bills I don't know if a doctor has given you a report I don't know what your Goliath is could be your spouse I don't know I don't know what your problem might be tonight but God said I'm going to give you a word and I look what he said in verse 10 look what he said in the Philistine said I defy the armies of God you know what that means it means to strip or expose or defame or bring reproach that's what the devil is trying to do to your faith he's trying to expose you and make you reproached among those that know who you are and verse 11 the Israel of the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid just look at you made to say the devil got in their head that's where the strongholds are he got in their head and made them afraid they started believing this lying devil and look at what happens in verse 25 the challenge David says what's going to happen to the man that whoops him look what it says in verse 25 of the second part the man that killed him the King will enrich him with great riches oh you didn't hear what I said the King said I'm going to make the man that kills this Goliath rich just just look at your neighbors say your problem is an opportunity your problem is an opportunity for great blessing when problem comes your way you oughta shout hallelujah oh thank God I got a Goliath today I've got an opportunity for blessing look what David does in verse 45 David said to the Philistine you come to me with a sword and a spear and a shield but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts the god of the armies of Israel whom you have defied this day with the Lord delivereth he say this thing say tonight God is going to deliver you into my hand I will smite you I'll take your head from your shoulders I'll give your carcass to the host ah you are going to die this day just shut it right now your Goliath is coming down I don't know what you came in here with but I see Goliath sitting next to you all over this building you came in with it but he's going down tonight I said he's going down I gonna leave him slain on the battlefield tonight he's not following you back out of this building look at verse 49 here's the key to your victory David put his hand in his bag hmm he put his hand in his bag number one he got a word from the Lord he started prophesying his future he said this day you gonna die Goliath you're going down and then the second thing he did is he put action behind his faith he put his hand in his bag he took what he had in his bag and he gave it to God I want you to put your hand in your bag tonight because God said if they will act on their face and they'll not only put prophecy to their face but they'll put action to their face I'll destroy their glass if they'll do it tonight if they'll do it tonight I want you to put your hand in your bag right now take out your checkbook take out your wallet take whatever you got tonight and whatever stones you have a man whatever stones you have God's going to take them as you put them in the hands of God and he's going to direct them to destroy your Goliath tonight

in my sling I'm pulling it out of the bag it may not be much or it may be much I don't know what it is that you've got in your bag but whatever it is God's going to anoint it and God's going to use it to give you victory tonight amen we got to put action to our face tonight we've got to put action to the prophetic word of the Lord he said put your hand in your bag and he took since a stone sling it

little bitty guy and my dad and mom were preaching at Pastor Tom's church and and and I don't believe them but back then I used to be a little ornery I don't believe that but then it was some 15 16 years later I got a phone call and Pastor Tom was on the other end of the line and he said the Lord has spoke to me and God told me you need to come to independence Kentucky and it was a trip that would change my life and I owe so much to to him and the values and the the righteous standards that were instilled in my life over the next couple of years and as I carried his briefcase and Lord we didn't do no fly and neither now I'ma tell you right now jump in that van and off across the country we'd go and I watched him fast and I watched him shout and I watched him sing and I said that's what I want that's that right there is what I want Lord I couldn't sing at all and now he did work with me in practice and I try real hard but I thank God for the Ministry of Pastor Tom Bates and that

I cannot thank pastor parsley for taking on the stand that he did because when it come right down to what was going to make it a deciding factor it happened right here in this state and I believe that God chose this place to change the course of our nation so it's honor for me to even grace this pulpit or mighty men of God stand where the Word of God goes forth in power and demonstration of the Spirit I have two tapes David my son I don't know if you've heard my son or not but he's he's big in Dallas in Houston in California he's just his first singles just released it's called perfect day I

I believe in and I come I come to give I come not to give a little I come to give everything I've got every ounce of strength and if you want to some tapes all that money goes into my mission work and we just give God praise for that so thankful for Stephanie and Ronnie Jo and especially for Ralph and LeeAnn and I kept name any more names but they're the ones I've been connected with and we're just so thankful that you are blessed with them now I can't believe that stephanie has had four children and still looks like a model all right and I've known her since she was a baby - Ronnie Jo actually was two years old and his dad wore him out every day his little old his the little britches just drag get he got it quite often all right second Corinthians chapter 10 starting to verse three for though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds casting down imaginations images in your mind everything that exalts itself against what you know about God the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ and having a readiness to revenge all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled just for a few moments tonight want to deal with the subject the conflict let's pray father we come to you in the name of Jesus I ask you Lord to let your word go forth not with enticing words of man's wisdom but of demonstration and power the Holy Ghost and will give you all the praise and the glory in Jesus name the church says amen you may be seated for a few moments this evening I'm dealing with the subject of conflict our text is found in 2nd Corinthians chapter 10 verses 3 through 6 first of all the Bible said for though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh even though we're walking in the flesh you've got to understand you are a vehicle of expression you are a carrier you are a transporter if you took all if you took your shoes and everything that's valuable off of you and they took you and you know whatever they do could do to you cremate you or whatever all your mineral valued be less worth less than two dollars you know so that's why I'm a not not to think of himself any more highly than you ought to you ever read that in the Bible don't think yourself any higher than you ought to because if you took off your false teeth and your false eyelashes and your false hair and your tummy tuck in your eyebrows and everything else and you took off your golden your silver and your diamonds and they put you in a Crematory and got you done when they finished with you worth about $2 worth of ash and that's not very much at all so a man is not to think of himself any higher at any altar thing but the Bible said we have this treasure in an earthen vessel that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of ourselves I don't know if these things I'm almost afraid to do it tonight and I hadn't planned on this but the way ours work oh yeah they work the same way but my canoodle caused a mess inside that plant inside that this plant is setting inside a vessel all right it's setting inside a vessel and that's what we are we are vessels the Bible said we're born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the Word of God faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God so the Word of God is planted in this house of clay we have this treasure in this house of clay that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of ourselves and the first thing that happens is there is a germination process that takes place it takes place at receiving the word you see the angel came to Mary and said Mary fear not I bring you good tidings of great joy you're going to conceive and bring forth a child she said how in the world can something live inside of me I have never had a relation with a man I've not had any type of involvement there's been no no way this could happen how can I have something living inside of me you see the born-again experience is more than attending church it's more than going to some place it's more than entering in into some type of bill or some type of organization there's something living inside of me there's something living inside of you so she said how can this happen he said the Holy Ghost shall overshadow thee and that was conceived in thee shall be of God he said you're that's how it's going to happen she said let it be done according to thy word and it happened now it happens she didn't feel anything moving there wasn't anything there but she knew it happened because she received the word and that's the way it is with salvation we receive the Word of God in a confession of Prayer and the word comes alive inside of us and we concede a new creature a new creation I'm a new creature in Christ Jesus old things have passed away and all things have become new and you may say well I'm not getting too many new things because you're not going anywhere you understand in order for things to become new old things have got to pass away and the only ways old things can pass away is I've got to be going somewhere I've got to be walking in the spirit I've got to be walking from where I am to where he wants me to be and something new begins to happen on the inside but it wasn't long so Mary began to feel life on the inside of her and that's the way it is when we receive the Word of God there is new life through the scripture that's planted inside of us and nobody really can tell too much until all the ones a little green thing starts button up and another little green thing starts button up and then all once this life begins to take over and this life becomes so great that when I look at this vessel I don't come up here and say oh look at these beautiful vessels I say look at these beautiful plants and what happens is the new life so much overtakes us that people don't see me anymore but they see Christ that lives inside of me can we give him some thanks tonight give him some things now the Bible said in the book of Hebrews chapter 5 I'm going to move just a little bit before we go there he said the weapons of our warfare are not natural but they are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds we're talking about conflict what are these strongholds he said first of all imagination he said image he said one of the strongholds are these mental images that in your mind you're either having a mental image of you succeeding or you failing neither one of them has happened one functions by fear and one functions by faith neither one of them has happened you haven't lived yet and you haven't died yet you haven't become rich yet and you haven't become poor yet you don't have cancer yet and you're not healed yet but these mental images come into your mind and every one of us get these mental images these pictures this movie screen that plays over and over inside of our mind and what does this movie screen want to do the Bible said these mental images and these thoughts that they want to exalt themselves above the knowledge of God or the knowledge that you have of God what you know about God you know him to be a healer you know him to be a deliverer you know him to be a saver you know him to be a comfort a present help in the time of trouble but the enemy puts mental images in your mind because he wants to destroy what you know about God he wants to take away what you know about God when we say the knowledge of God sometimes we think about we just apply it to Scripture but this is what you know about God you know him to be good you know him to be righteous he's not he's not good just doing good deeds he is good that is his character when you look at the very essence of God and we look at this world we know the world operates by a law called the law of cause and effect that means everything you see has a cause behind this piano is a creator that caused it behind these drums is a creator that caused it behind this organ is a Creator that caused it everything you see the wind is caused by something trees are caused by something so that means every effect that we see has a cause behind it and what causes us to love one another there has to be a the effect of love there has to be a cause and that is loving hallelujah what causes this life that we have there must be a the effect there must be a cause that is living what about that as we see the complexity of the stars and the planets and the universe but there must be a cause that is omniscient that knows everything what about the force of a volcano or the force of a rage and see there must be a cause that is a nipple canta all-powerful what about us know in all of these organisms that just by a little move the of the earth remover the Sun that everything rotates exactly there must be a cause that is on the present and you put all of that and those are just a few characteristics you say what is living what is loving what is omnipotent what is omnipresent what is all together omniscient what is it the cause of that these are the effects that we have it must be one living and true God hallelujah and the Bible said every good and perfect gift comes down from where God above so the cause of everything good in your life is God himself he is the cause of every good thing I read about David David said I would have given up I would have quit I would have thrown in the towel I would have said I've had it up to here and I'm over with it but he said I believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living hallelujah I am what I am because of a good God hallelujah I'm here tonight because there's a good God up that reigns can we give him some praise hallelujah now we know he's a good God so secondly if all good things comes from above then that means all evil things must come from a culprit to and that culprits name is Satan he is Lucifer he is that fallen star he is that one that led worship in heaven but iniquity was found in him he despises you he hates your worship and every evil ungodly thing comes from him what did I tell you this for because when you go to Hebrews chapter 5 the Bible said for when the time should come that you should be teachers in other words you've been in the church so long you ought to be helping other people you ought to be helping them get close to God I told our church that we are pastor an old-line Pentecostal Church we run about 2,200 people and I said if you all are quit shaking and shouting long enough just to go get somebody saved I'll appreciate it I thank God for all the fallen in the floor but God knows that Pentecostals have fallen in the floor until the back of their heads are flatter than a two-by-four they've spoken in tongue till they got calluses on both sides of their tongues and they still live in a hellhole and they still live in a lost city and they still live in a lost environment and while we're shaking and shouting and falling on the floor the enemy is too in a heyday on us the Bible said it's time it's time for us to grow up it's time that we should be bringing somebody to the kingdom it's time that we should be bringing them into the house of God it's time to we should he said here's what you know he said first of all let me tell you about something when this seed is sown in this earthen vessel in this house of clay he said you're like a babe and you got to have milk now this was written before bottles folks it was written before bottles which meant this in order for you to survive you've got to eat off somebody else that has the goods all right in order for you to make it you have to nurse off of somebody else now you're allowed to do that when you first come into this good hole in this way and you first find the Savior and you're first find God real to your soul and you first wake up in the morning up and you got your half unspeakable and full of glory you're allowed to nurse off of other people you're allowed to draw life from other people you're allowed to draw life up from those and they're in the house of God that have a praise on their tongue up and a shout on their lips up it's perfectly normal for you to draw a life from those people but when you get a little older and your mustache is hanging down to your shoulder and you're about this tall after that's out of order for you to be nursing off other people and what God says something he said it's time to grow up up there it's time for you to grow up it's time for you to take on some position I want you to learn how to get it for yourself up in I want you to learn how to stand up with nobody else so sign up oh [Applause] you see you got to get to a point in life when you don't have to have somebody going home with you and checking out your video Department you've got to get to a point in life you don't have to have somebody looking in your closet to see if it's too skimpy too short too little or too tight you shouldn't have to have one of those holy ghost mother's mother's standing over your back say honey you don't need to grease yourself to put yourself in those drawers he said there ought to be a time that you grow up there ought to be a time that you're the one growing up he said because milk nursing people belongs to Bates he said how do you know how do you know when somebody is of age of full age he said you're their affluent full age means it means that now what is sown in you has reproduced fruit you see I love to go out in the woods this time of year Ronnie's got little Choctaw Indian in him I've got just a little bit of a little bit Cherokee Indian I'm a direct descendant that she Fred Bertha's well hallelujah I'm a direct descendant from the mountains of Kentucky my mother's people in Clay County and I love to get out in the woods this time of year I love to walk around around those oak trees and those big old maples and those yellow poplar the hickory nuts and the walnuts falling all over and you know what this time of year I like to get in under the leaves and find me persimmons how many of you ever is real sweet persimmons they're delicious comment you know what kind of tree is that a persimmon comes off us is there anybody anybody knows what kind of tree come on doesn't anybody know guess what a persimmon tree yes hallelujah in Greek you call it persimmon in Hebrew you call it persimmon up in Kentucky you call it persimmon ah I know it's a persimmon tree you know why it's a blade and it produces persimmon something when you become a full age all body stretch in their hand up trying to figure out are you one of the sold-out ones up are you one of the born again once up have you been to Calvary's Mountain nothing have you had a talk with Jesus is the blood of Christ fall into your veins up nobody's depth and who you are because you come to pull a each other you got through throwing all over

to push out what you know about God you can be an apostle you can write 14 books of the New Covenant you can be caught up into the third heaven but as long as you're in this house of clay you're subject to conflict but when the storm is over and I know when you're holding on to a board full of nails and you're coughing up salt water and your clothes are hanging off of yet and you're cold what does that mean when you walk in one night and your husband's not there three little babies sleeping back in the room what does it mean it means that you're somewhere and everything's pulled out from under nothing nothing that's what it means nothing and the only reason why you're holding on to this board that's full of nails because God said hold on hold on next a whole reason why you're holding on it's worthless in the natural it's just a piece of board it's just full of nails but there's something on the inside that's it hold on hold on now we're going to pray right now the Bible said let the strong bear the infirmities that's the trials the tests and the difficulties of the week and this huge crowd on a Wednesday night there must be several hundred people that are weak maybe they're
