your wife and come right down here for a minute and you're going to shout your way out of this grave some of you been in a dark corner and the enemy's trying to bury you there if the enemy's been working against your marriage working against your home working against the unity in your home get your family and get down here to this officer you better do it right now it's not gonna happen in five more minutes [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah there it is [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] who reuben i don't know you but i'm gonna tell you what the lord's been i saw you on that front row i'm gonna tell you what the lord just keeps telling me and if it ain't right well i've missed it but i think it is i hear the holy ghost keep saying first tell him brokenness is beautiful to me don't try to don't try to put yourself or anything else back together brokenness is beautiful to him then the second thing he keeps telling me is tell him i've got him i know right where he's at [Music] [Applause] this is not some detour this is on your way to your destination now you were well on your way to having what you thought would be the perfect scenario but just like jesus told the disciples i must needs go through samaria he said tell you you must needs go through this wilderness because you can't get where he's called you to be any other path some people try to get there with parades and accolades but to get to true depth and height of spiritual ministry you got to be rejected you got to be misunderstood you got to be alone and ultimately you got to let go now i don't know who's on that paper but lay them on the altar and leave them with him because the last thing he said to tell you was just as sure as he knows where you are he knows where they are i wish somebody would worship with our brother for a minute [Music] [Music] [Music] he is right now now the question is are you going to trust it with them yes you can don't you say i can't okay i'm gonna show you how reuben i don't know who those people are in that picture i hadn't even seen don't even tell me oh ho jesus said cast your cares on me because he cares for you [Applause] he cares finds you and you're doing something that's unnatural for a spiritual man you're trying to carry what the new birth designs you to cast do you trust him then lay them on that altar and when you do man of god these other men of god are going to hit that music marcus you're going to help himself i'm talking about we're going to tear the joint up do you hear me you cry after this morning you cry all you want to but you don't shed not one more tear from sorrow you weep all you want to but not from a place of sorrow because today you're gonna put them in god's care you're not going to go back and get them back hell can't touch them hell can't take them hell can't destroy it you ready marcus you're going to dance with us get him by the hand marker come on brother somebody on a shelf [Music] [Music] so come on somebody come on ruben god's got him god's got him he'll can't catch him he'll can't hurt him he'll can't destroy him god's got him [Music] yeah come on reuben you about there now come on some of you other brothers get around we're gonna dance with you reuben come on you might as well get some joy over hell thought he had to but he didn't [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you yeah oh yeah [Music] oh yeah oh yeah that's it go ahead thank him for what's coming prophesy over the end we're praying about the present prophesy over the end of this field yes yes yes yes thank you jesus thank you jesus thank you jesus satan the blood of jesus is against you satan we plead the blood over this situation we plead the blood over this home this family this ministry this destiny we plead the blood you can't cross through the blood [Music] lord's gonna make the crooked place straight you're gonna bring the high thing down the low thing up bring clarity to where there's confusion light to where there's dark yeah that's what he's gonna do not just for him but for any of us the devil is a liar bishop's already said it these are the greatest days this is the season of time we've been living for this is that moment in our history that we've been waiting for oh yeah [Music] well now reuben can you stand up look at me for a minute i want you to look at me and say all is well [Music] okay just i said the lord terry that little boy's gonna grow up to be a prophet [Music] don't get on the phone and try to fix nothing you're a talker aren't you stop talking and start dancing listen adam found some things out about the lord the brother knows some job he knows how to do stuff we don't even know needs to be done this is not about y'all it's about you stop talking stop fixing stop thinking because every time god gets ready to do stuff you want to help him if he needs you he'll call you but till he does you're unnecessary you are not the solution he is [Applause] that's all you got to say i'm sorry stop talking start dancing see right there you want to start telling the brother something he already knows how many times you gonna say that i'm sorry it's forgiven it's under the blood leave it alone leave it alone prophesy over the end but worrying about what's going on right now start speaking life to the end of this deal speak of things that are not as though they already are make fun of the devil wake up every morning chase your brother right on down the street tell him i hear you knocking but you can't come in you can huff and bluff all you want to but you're not going to blow this house down for what god hath joined together are you with me are you picking up what i'm putting down well everybody go sit down i reckon you've honored the bishop sister wright my bishop i thank the lord for him watching over me keeping me hand on my life we are we are very indebted people aren't we to have men of god in our life bishop sister nichols give honor to them thank the lord for them their friendship their leadership in the kingdom i have said this i think in your hearing on some variation or another before but if men of god like him were in the animal kingdom they'd be an endangered species and there are not a lot of men among us there are some there's more than you think but there are not a lot of men among us who are willing to just lay it all on the line and have nothing else to fall back on and hedging their bets and uh putting their neck out there and speaking prophetically and calling things that are not as though they were and leading without fear or intimidation there are a lot of safe leaders that's what we would call a safe leader but thank god for men of vision this church will not perish because you have vision here without a vision the people perish but you have vision you have visionary leadership that vision is not their own idea that vision is what god has given him sister nichols when they walked on this property for the first time and in that very moment god put in them every answer to every dilemma the first day he drove up on this property the lord imparted to him every tool and to her every tool every answer every bit of anointing that they were going to need to lead this great assembly of believers into the future god did not send them here to just pastor us he sent them here to lead us into the future and then our destiny and he fully equipped them the day they drove up on this property for the very first time because he knew i don't have to wait till an election i don't have to wait till an installation i don't have to wait for years until he has ordained this bishop i'm going to bestow it upon them now because i know them and they're not going to tell me no they're going to see the challenges they're going to see everything and at the end of the day they are going to tell me yes so before he preaches the first time i'm going to give him and her everything they're going to need to do the job that i've sent them here to do and that same thing applies to everybody in this room who said yes to him talk about jesus you submitted yourself to leadership that god sent here because of that everything you need to do what you're called to do to be what you're called to be to see what you're called to see you've already got it and i'm going to tell you if if the lord did things our way we'd already we'd already be tapped out we'd have already been to the end game and be bored i get frustrated with him sometimes talking about the lord not your bishop i get frustrated with the i just want to clarify that i get frustrated with the lord sometimes because the brother just don't seem to want to do things on my schedule and it matters not how many times i call him into my boardroom and stand him on the carpet there and try to explain to him how much better off his kingdom would be with my input have you ever considered the futility of all of that we finite people would pretend to impose upon the infinite god our wisdom i just thank the lord today for his patience with us well let me rephrase that i i give thanks to god on this day for his extended patience with me because i'm not as patient with him as he is with me i'm ready to pray judgment on people sometimes and the lord's like hey it's not your blood in this deal that's my cross that was my blood you have no cause you be quiet and i am thankful to god on the flip side of that too because i am certain beyond the shadow of all doubt that there have been at least two people i know i'm sure there's at least that many and that's probably optimistic there's probably like 100 times that many that have wanted god to let them pray judgment on me and so thank the lord that he stayed their hand and tongue as well i don't understand a lot about the lord i really don't but the peace i have found in all of that is i've quit trying to understand it i have frustrated myself at 52 and a half oh great day i'll be 53 in may that old clock just won't stop that ticking but i'm as young and powerful as i ever was mentally and i don't understand him i i i have argued with him about stuff that i knew on day one my arguing was not going to alter his course yet i couldn't help myself but to argue with him made me feel better and we might as well admit it most you argue with him too just because you like to feel better when you're through arguing and i have struggled with him i've probably wrestled more with god than i have the enemy at times trying to get him to do something before it's time say something before it's time reveal something before it's time release something before it's time and the peace that i have found in him unfortunately there are a couple of words that have bled over into my family and they're okay at certain ages but when you're three and you look at people that are in authority over you and say really moms don't really understand that and i keep trying to tell her the little brother is helping you know he is just not phased by being told no and uh she corrects him but i've got to where i i just tell the enemy when he starts all that mess i'm really that this is your best argument that this is what you're going to use to try to discourage me really and then when i can't get an answer from god my response to that a lot of times is whatever not because i'm upset with the lord i'm just resigned to the fact that i don't need nature if he's not telling me i apparently don't need it but there are things he does share and there are things he does tell us and there are some times that we go through wildernesses reuben not of our making sometimes they are sometimes they're not and we can look at it and we can think well i'm here because i'm flawed i've got a problem it's me it's me it's me o lord standing in the need of prayer sometimes the lord knows that the only way i said it to you earlier the only way to get where we're going is this road and this road is going to take you plan past and to and into a pit where your brethren are going to throw you it's going to take you to a prison where you have been unjustly sentenced it's going to take you into a household where you're going to be unjustly accused but if we can keep a right spirit if we can keep our attitude correct if we can keep our spirit right at the end of the day we're going to end up exactly where god wants us to be doing exactly what god wants us to do with exactly the resources we need to do that be it money talent gifting people makes no difference you can ask god why all you want to but you just as well resign yourself to it right here on today he may or may not answer you and if he doesn't tell you why it doesn't mean you will never know it just means that right now that's not information you need to know the spirit of the lord leads and guides into all truth and righteousness if we will resign ourselves to his leadership if we will cut the ties of our flesh and our carnality and allow god to deliver us from those moorings of this world and the trappings of this world so that our mind and spirit can belong to him and him alone then he'll lead us and he'll guide us into every truth of his word every truth of his will be it a logos or a rhema word makes no difference he'll reveal every bit of that to you in its time that in in itself aids us in the dying out to flesh process the key is not to give up in a wilderness die there don't give up there surrender but don't quit we have to surrender to god in those places and the lord has taken every human in here that's been saved for more than 30 minutes um you've been there you've been in places that you couldn't figure out you've been in circumstances that you couldn't figure out we have been in valleys and dark places painted into corners some by our own hand and some by the enemy's efforts but in all of it the scripture says that all things work together the good works with the bad all things work what together and in the middle of triumph when a problem shows up don't reject the problem find out where it fits when a challenge shows up don't reject the challenge find out if it's allowed by god and if it is find out where it fits in his plan for us some people spend their entire life miserable because they think in terms of what i've given up what i've lost what i don't have now now the lord's trying his very best to help a handful of people right here on this one you're fussing with jesus over a fistful of money when he's got a dump truck full of gold you gotta oh brother shelton see here's here's where our flesh gets us somebody got offended oh so you're telling me that what i isn't important yes yeah you want to be like that about it yeah that's what i'm telling you in the grand scheme of eternity and the will of god in your life the stuff you are getting hung up on right now and you can't fully invest yourself in the kingdom because of it is the equivalent of a a little splinter on the side of a piece of wood that a gnat could break but it's been sufficient to keep you from going ahead and getting in the ark with god you hung up at the door by a little old splinter we don't believe the word some of you don't because if we believed it we'd let it live through us little principles like seek ye first the kingdom of god just stop right there don't even read the rest of that verse seek ye first the kingdom of god and i'm going to tell you something when you are pining about what you're giving up when you are pining about what you've lost when you are moaning and groaning about how dreadful and terrible and this is not what i thought and when you're doing that the translation of that in spirit terminology is lord i don't trust you i think you made a great mistake here i think i'm out of the will of god i think this i think that i think this i think that the truth of the matter is you're also telling him i don't believe your word i don't believe you when you said that if i'd seek your kingdom first you'd add all this other stuff to me and really some of us need to repent on today because we've charged god foolishly all of my griping about what i don't have is communicated back to heaven as though i'm saying you don't love me like you said you did you won't do for me what you said you would you don't care about me like you said you did our life has got to be an example of our trust in him and his word and yes i won't deny it some of you are in a wilderness right now you're in a wilderness but you're there because the path god chose for you goes through there and you reuben is not the only one in the wilderness this morning there's some other folks of here that have fained the heart wouldn't get out and come down here and i'm going to tell you something there's a couple i know two or three i felt the lord didn't say exactly who they were all i knew was there were two or three households that should have been down here dancing and you didn't so what you've done is you have sentenced yourself to at least six more weeks of hardship you thought i was just trying to fill time because i had nothing to say god gave you a chance to come out of your grave and no you're thinking i'm gonna go get a right now no it's too late you dance all you want to you've had your face fall off it ain't gonna change nothing the waters were troubled you set yourself in your pews and you stayed where you were because you were too proud to let anybody know that your family your house was under attack so what you thought you had kept hidden now everybody will know those wildernesses that we think the enemy put in our life the steps one one scripture says if even the steps of a righteous man need to be ordered of the lord if even the most perfect and righteous person in here needs their steps to be ordered by god i definitely need him to order mine because i'm of all men most miserable i'm going to tell you that right now i need god worse than anybody in this building but either we trust him or we don't trust him hopeless people don't believe the end of the story hopeless people don't believe the message of the end time hopeless people only draw the negatives about what's ahead of us and i'm not going to lie to you i'll straight up tell you right now it's going to be tough between hearing the rapture there are going to be some tough treacherous moments but not right now but they're coming and if we don't believe every promise god has given us about the future and about our destiny and about his will for us and his purpose in our life then we're going to be miserable every step of the way until the rapture but if you believe what the scripture teaches then there's nothing to be sorrowful for nothing to be afraid of nothing to be upset over nothing to be concerned about you invoke the spirit of goshen around here every service that is not just over finances that's over you being the light of the world in a world full of darkness the scripture says and this is why one person in here is just wretchedly miserable today i'm calling you out right now i'm not going to say your name but that's as close as i'm going to get to it you are wretched and miserable because the scripture says if i find that in this world i have hope only i'm of all men most miserable you are miserable because you are expecting significant people in your life to make you happy and jesus is trying to show you that you have spent your life to this moment with a certain level of emptiness and void in you and you've been able to cover it up and hide it all this time because you've been surrounded by the things that you think make you comfortable and bring you joy and peace all they've done is help to cover that emptiness inside of you and if you're not careful you're going to appoint blame for that with current circumstances and say this is why i feel the way i feel when this has only exposed what's always been there and i'm looking at this beautiful new carpet so nobody tries to figure out who it is i'm talking to but they know who they are and i if i were you i am me and i've got my own stuff i'm trying to get as dead to the stuff i got to get dead to right now while we still in time of peace because oh jordan i promise you now look i'm going to scream real loud tonight i promise i already feel it on me i don't know what i'm going to preach but i feel something just boiling in me so just hold on but all that we're dealing with now in our lives in our nation in our world in our cities in our communities in our jobs in our businesses in our families is preparatory for what's coming well i don't understand but it seemed like everything was good then all of a sudden the lights went out whoever asked for a flashlight in the sunshine [Music] have you ever considered the fact that this end time harvest is not going to come because we force-fed it on people here's how stupid we are we think that end-time harvest is going to be something that god just makes people come be a part of it he's not going to violate one person's will in the end time not one nobody no i love flashlights my wife thinks there's something wrong with me but i have a vast array of flashlights at my disposal and i like them i don't like them little weak things now i don't want nothing i want something that'll pow when you hit the light sun but i have never ever run out in the yard in the afternoon and shine the trees with my flashlight wow that's awesome because it makes no difference it don't matter how many lumens it has in the daytime and nobody not one bishop not one person and people that know me know i like flashlights but shouting something's wrong i know but i i don't take much to make me happy you wanna make me happy bring me an awesome flashlight you don't even have to give it to me just shine in the dark and let me look at it i love flashlights i don't need your light just show me your life that's that's fine light the way with what you got see some of y'all missed it right there i dropped the nugget nobody got it be patient with us lord i like flashlights i got one little browning flashlight camo doubt hallelujah and you can clip it on the bill of a hat but you i'm telling you it's not any longer than my finger browning makes it you can just hold that puppy right there and go pow i got some that you can dial it in i got some military-grade flashlights you can hit that thing and it's that square you can hit it again you can hit it again this pulsing i love the night because i got delight [Applause] i'm not afraid about the electricity going out for god's sake i got a generator too i have ensured that me and mine will never be left in the dark i've got a plethora of aaa and double a batteries as my daddy used to call them nine vote d's and c's i got every kind of battery you'd think about why because i got every kind of light you'd think about and i don't want to be and i know exactly where they are now some of my obsessive disorder i've got i think my wife says it's a disorder but i feel like it's natural but i know exactly where all my c batteries are and my d's are and my a's and my triple a's my double a's and then nine volts i know where they are and i have familiarized myself with my equipment in the day lord if you would have just allowed me to title this like happy meal chicken nuggets something they'd pick up on these nuggets but while it has been yet day i've been going down to the great walmart buying batteries why are you expecting a power outage yes every day at sundown stay with me and when it gets dark nobody in my house panics because they all know that from time to time for the tetris i go out there and i fire the old generator up and my wife will say what are you doing just letting that thing run sister shelton this is above your pay grade a man of god knows what he's doing i don't say that except when i'm here she's not i very gently explain to her and try to you know help her understand look you got to keep this thing full of fuel you got to fire it up every now and then you don't want and and why well because if i have to come out here in the dark i know exactly where the switches are but i won't be in the dark turn on my generator because i got a light the problem with us is when it's yet day in the kingdom we don't spend enough time familiarizing ourselves with what god has given us to endure the dark and so we're afraid why do you think the writer says that we're not afraid of the terrors that fly by night because he spent time in the light getting ready for the dark the night cometh just use that as a principle the night cometh and the only people that are afraid of troubled times in the kingdom are people that have been less stewardly with peaceful times in the kingdom so i'm telling you while it is yet day familiarize yourself with who you are and him who he is in you what your role in the kingdom is quit letting the enemy get you distracted over the gate clinging out there when you ought to be looking at your flashlight because the night cometh and the only way that i can figure that we're going to be able to reap a harvest that is ripe and ready to be harvested is when they get desperate enough to get off the stalk they've been on you get in the house you get in the room you're getting a situation where the power goes out and of course nowadays everybody's got a flashlight on their phone substandard light i don't run down there on amazon and bought me a little halo deal and it's it's about that long about that thick it's got a 110 outlet several usbs some other stuff and it's got a place where you can plug in a set of jumper cables and jump a car off you can get 270 i believe it's 270 jumps out of one charge called halo halo h-a-l-o halo about 99 and then it's got a beautiful flashlight right on the end of it it's got enough power you can plug in a string of lights good night of living got one in every vehicle hallelujah why brother shelton because i'm not you not every house in my neighborhood may be dark but chunky's house gonna be lit up yes sir don't go ahead sit in the dark are you with me have i bored you just slapped to tears now sometimes you gotta wait in line down at the walmart or target for true value and don't be buying them knockoff lights either don't be buying them substandard batteries either they'll be all corroded and jumped in about 30 minutes spend a little money get you a good light if it don't feel solid in your hand put that thing back and if it's less than 500 lumens you're still going to be in the dark get online order you some of that military grade stuff you can get a two or three pack of them bad boys pow light the world up jesus is going to let the world get desperate enough we're trying to sell trying to figure out how to sell and market what we got that's stupid i hope that goes out over the internet branding your ministry stupid marketing your brand moronic hallelujah thank you jesus our prayer is going to change someday right now we still pray stuff like lord help make this life better lord help this world one day our prayer is going to become even so come quickly we will never pray that prayer in the light of day as long as we want him to make this world a utopia we're still not ready for the rapture i don't care how much you talk in tongues i don't care how saved you think you are if you're if you're obsessed with god fixing this world you're going to be in that wilderness a couple more minutes but you get in the house when the electricity goes off and it won't take long people go to screen like at my house if my children are upstairs lord god we we just have drills because they'll just stampede the stairs and and it doesn't matter if little malachi is standing in the way uh these other two ten-year-olds are just gonna plow right over that little brother and if he gets toppled down the set of stairs that's just his problem he shouldn't have been standing there but everybody you know where they're trying to get to you know where everybody all the little short people at my house you know where they're trying to get to well that wasn't politically sensitive was it short people but they are they're trying to get to me or their mom you know why because they know daddy has made sure we got lights everywhere and mama knows where they're at they're not running from anything the darkness is all around them they're running to a light so it is necessary for us to be stewards over these moments god's been kind enough to let us have get your batteries get your light i know a group of ladies preachers wives who recently got honest with themselves and said we have relied on our husbands to give us answers to the point we don't even know exactly how to prove what we say we believe and so they have endeavored as of lately on a great bible study preacher's wives because they said our husband may not be standing right next to us when the lights go out we're gonna have to have access to the light the light of the word jesus is the light of the world ye are the light of the world because when the lights finally go out on this whole world that old song we used to sing some of y'all hadn't been saved long enough to know anything about it are alive long enough to know anything about it but when the things of this earth grow faintly dim and they're going to trust me when i tell you one day the light is going to go out in the world their power grid's going to go off and when that time comes guess what everybody's going to be running to the light and guess what the light is ye are the light of the world so all the stuff you're going through it's prep for you to get plenty of resources in place get your walk with god where it needs to be get the corrosion on the contacts around the battery source in your life some of you you're plugged into the right place you got the right source but there's some corrosion because you keep trying to hang on to stuff that's corroding the point hello i know this is like ned in the first grade this morning but the light's going to go off and if you hadn't dealt with the corrosion in your life when that happens you're going to be up a creek without a light so finish this wilderness up there are times god takes the church and hides us he hides us away to let the world realize what they don't have you know it's like electricity you really don't appreciate it until you don't have it in august in the south when the humidity is 88 or 98 and there's no electricity nothing about that good old days the good old days for me started when they found out about that air conditioning put it in a pipe run it out through some vents that's a good old days get an appreciation for what you have now learn the value of what you have now if your marriage is not perfectly in alignment with the will of god now is the time to get it there if there's confusion in your home now is the time to clean the contacts and get that out of there if there's a lack of clarity on doctrine now is the time to immerse yourself in the word and find out what you believe and why you believe it are a lot of people sitting on church pews that know what they believe because it's been preached to us but we don't really know why we believe it we know it's true we feel a witness to it and we submit to it but there's a deeper revelation we haven't got yet because we haven't spent enough time with him and when the lights go out you're going to have a hard time doing that because when the world starts calling for the church the light and that great harvest begins we we better be charged up we better be able to find the source in the dark we better be able to reach for that flashlight we better know what the doctrine is we better know what the plan of salvation is we better know about the mighty god in christ we better understand the death burial and the resurrection we better understand what prayer is all about because the light's coming off and when it goes off and the world starts doing what people do now when the lights go off has anybody got a light hold on nobody move let me get the light and as soon as the people see the light they head to the light when my daddy and i were hunting and i was a kid late in the evening he had put me on my deer stand and he'd gone down to his and he'd tell me do not leave here until you see my light when you see my light turn your light on and come to my light come he would tell me come to the light so i'm telling you you better get ready because there's going to be a day that comes when the world is going to be looking for the light and you're going to be the only light they can see if we take advantage of the season we're in right now stand with me ruben be a light a light don't say nothing [Music] i i own a bunch of flashlights but ain't never one of them says a word but man when you need them if they got good batteries in them you're right on track well do you love the lord [Applause] now for those of you that didn't make a move earlier you're going to go through a few more weeks of wilderness and i'm going to say to you when that door comes available the next time exercise a little more wisdom and discretion and do whatever it is god's telling you to do so that you and yours are prepared for the dark hello somebody lord now here in this place on this day i have said everything you've put in my spirit mouth to say and you have said much more through those fragile words than our human ears have heard from our spirit you've spoken deeply profoundly prophetically my prayer is to him that hath a spiritual ear i pray they've heard what the lord would say this is not the season of darkness that's coming it's a challenge it's a test but it's not the darkness we're still yet in the light you're still in control and you will be until your return so we have no fear of all of that but our measure of uncertainty should be on this day an indicator of preparation or the lack of so lord to every person that has felt anxiety and fear turmoil and no peace thank you for shining the light on this on us today and help us help us to recognize it and to seize this moment take advantage of it because the night cometh the night cometh and the world's going to start looking for the light like they never have we won't be selling a product we'll be providing a safe harbor and the light will be our witness the light will be what draws the lost to the house of god as it has always done but in the darker times the brighter the light will shine we are that light we are that light we are that light we trust you with the dark we trust you because you are the light in us we trust you because you've never failed us we trust you because you've never lied to us we trust you because you've never abandoned us you've never let us down to the spirit of fear we say to you we know you're there we hear you you're calling to us you want us to be afraid but we will not because we're children of the light so the spirit of anxiety we hear you we know you're there you beckon to us every day but we're not going to where you are because you can't come in the light and we're not going to leave the light worry doubt unbelief we hear you but you can't come into the light that's why you call for us to come out of the light but we are the people of the light we are the light of the world because the light of the kingdom shines through us we won't leave the light you can't come here so lord give us the grace we need now give us wisdom direction courage to do what we know we need to do courage to surrender courage to get past our pride now to the spirit of pride ego you are the most foul and filthy thing [Music] you come in among us so many times and you feed our ego so often you hold us prisoner when nothing else can i'm binding you now too you're not going to keep one more desperate child of god from surrendering the next time god says i'll do a miracle if you'll make a move you you held some back this morning not again you're not gonna do it again let liberty be here among these people lord you have placed these people with this leadership and this staff this pastoral staff you've joined them all together and we will not suffer any man to drive it asunder no spirit of the enemy will run amok and destroy what you have built this is the house you've built this is a place of power restoration renewal anointing impartation and sending out i thank you for the revival in new albany i thank you for the revival

you didn't know you were on your way out the only reason you're kicking and acting up is because you know we're coming for you you know that this season of us being in the mulberry bushes is about over you know that god having hid us away in the bull rushes is about over so to intimidation and timidity you're on your way out we're coming for you truth is going to saturate this part of indiana

it on this side of the river to give you a vision about what i'll do everywhere [Music] else angels go go put a perimeter around all our properties don't you let the enemy come in there and steal not one of them lord we thank you right now because of that property you've been holding for us you you've been letting somebody else do the upgrades on it you've been letting somebody else redo all the electrical wiring in it you've been letting somebody else pay for the carpet you've been letting somebody else pay for the windows when we come out from under this mulberry bush the kingdom is going to take what belongs to it we're not coming out of this thing empty-handed we're coming out of these bull rushes in mulberry bushes with a sword in our hand and a word in our mouth and we're going to take what belongs to us [Music] [Music] let the spirit of gideon come upon us i've been waiting a long time but i'm yet able to take my mountain i'm yet able to take my promise i'm yet able if you'll just cut me loose i'll go get it so the louisville i'm telling you i can hear at a distance people of god pray in that same prayer lord it's been a while we've been waiting a while we have hopped from location to location but in my faith i am still yet able who in my faith i am still able i have not been so discouraged that i'm not yet able to ride into battle we've not been down so bad that we're not able to get on our horse and ride into battle we've not been attacked so brutally that we're not able to put our sword on and take it by the handle and ride into battle and we're not so far discouraged that we can't say today we're able to go into battle with the young men and those that are not discouraged yes we've suffered discouragement yes we've suffered disappointment but i'm still able i've still got the light i've still got enough faith that i'll ride in the battle and i'll come back with the victory [Music] you angels go out of here now stake out the land for us let the report of the ten be muted strike down the voice of the ten let the voice of the few permeate the spirit of this place we're well able strike down that grasshopper view of ourselves let it be that though they are giants we are even greater in stature than they are where sin that's about grace doth much more abound yes the enemy comes like a flood but you said in your word that you would raise up a standard against it i want to be part of the standard [Music] i'm gonna be a part of what you raise up against that force of darkness i've not hid out this long for naught i've not been pushed into the mulberry bushes and the bull rushes for nothing i've not kept my peace and kept myself for nothing i've not stayed the course for nothing i've not stayed the path for nothing i've not held on to the truth for nothing i've not waited all this time for nothing no sir when you tell me i can take the land i'm gonna take it when you cut me loose i'm going after everything you promised me in mine you may have hit my light under a bushel but i got a word that it's coming out [Music] so lord i just want you to know i'm ready we're ready hell i want you to listen angels hold them steady make
