Rev Aaron Bounds - Despise Not Small Beginnings - The Apostolic Conference

grasp the importance of priorities he said amen things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least i want to say it again things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least and i want to highlight the fundamentals of the faith to you which matter most what is most important to this church this body of believers and this conference what matters most the first and the most important focus of this conference is the majesty of jesus christ the word majesty means supreme greatness or authority his supremacy and sovereignty is unparalleled and it is unmatched his majesty must be presented and preached about in our pulpits until the world knows there is no other god but jesus we've got to preach that jesus is supreme amen he has the authority and power and it's all about him it's not about personalities because our personality has never delivered anybody amen it's not about what we bring to the table it's the fact we know god and he is the one that delivers and sets free we must exalt the preeminence of jesus christ it's all about jesus it's not about us i've got to say this that moses asked the question and it gripped me in exodus not in my notes but i'll just briefly touch this he asked god who am i in exodus 3 i believe verse 11 or 12. amen i looked for where god answered him and told him that moses i picked you because you know the geography of egypt better than anybody so i can use your knowledge because i need your expertise to help me i look for answers like well moses i picked you because you were educated in pharaoh's palace i could find none of that in fact god never answered moses question he said who am i and it's as though god said if we talk about that we're both going to be depressed moses said who am i and god said certainly i will be with you and that's all you need to know certainly i will be with you certainly i will be with you i preach to great people right now amen when god is with you that's all you need to know come on magnify the majesty of jesus the supreme authority of jesus i love you jesus i love you [Applause] hallelujah because we will never be perfect or good enough to be qualified on our merits we are qualified on the fact god is with us and when god is with us that's what gets the job done you show up with god and god will get the job done in your city you show up without god and tough luck trying to save people without the power of god what else matters most the messengers you church planters are our priority not only this week but all year long someone in our office said we focus on the apostolic conference six months out of the year the six months before this conference and the six months after this conference why because you're important to the kingdom of god and you're not alone in your desire to do a work for god this church this body of believers we believe in you we celebrate your success we weep with you when you go through trials we believe in your calling your destiny your future in god and we have prayed for you for a long time it's not because of us or our ability but the holy ghost has sanctioned and god has chosen and god gets the credit because he said i will use somebody that's available and i thank god that we made ourselves available and what god has done here god can do in your churches and god will do it in your churches [Applause] i was speaking with one of you about my parents just last night one of the reasons why bishop had the vision to start this conference was because he would go to conferences where established pastors would attend he would look around for the smaller not less than but the church planter and did not see them he said begin to say where are they well they're working jobs and they can't afford to come he in essence said i'll fix that amen i'll provide the money if they can make time to make it to madison my dad and mom's style of pestering was always inclusive they are not elitist they are lovers of people they told me if you see a crowd of people and in a separated place one person sits alone you leave the crowd and you go to that lonely person to make them feel included the crowd has the comfort of one another but you go to that person amen and try to reach them and love on them and make them feel included i've never known them to set a separate table apart from the people to eat at it's always been we live among the sheep and we like it we sleep where they sleep we feel what they feel their joy is our joy and their pain is our pain i can remember mama anytime we went out to eat amen i could hear mama said you better eat all that amen this meal we're enjoying is because of that with a woman's five dollar bill or that hard-working man's hard-earned twenty dollar bill you better if she connected it back to people amen and it caused me to value amen that we are in this thing for people's sake and we love people can you clap your hands and thank god what matters most we've talked about the majesty the messengers but the next thing that matters most is the message if you want to see the church in the earth you must go back to its birth what a person is in birth they will continue to be the day of pentecost absolutely reveals and seals the experience and the message we are to seek for and to preach about and seeing souls born into the kingdom of god by the new birth message of acts 2 38 is essential to who we are we are not motivational speakers we are preachers of the gospel we're not there to make people feel good we're there to see them delivered from their sin it is our dna would somebody say dna to some dna might be deoxyribonucleic acid but to us dna stands for do not alter do not alter the message that got you to where you are personally don't try to genetic mutation the message that brought you transformation there is no genetic mutation on the dna of who we are come on somebody would you give god praise amen we've got to preach this message you cannot alter the necessity of new birth for people who want transformation without true regeneration if they want transformation they must experience regeneration and we understand death burial and resurrection the kingdom of god i heard this from brother wright is not meat and drink but righteousness peace and joy in the holy ghost i heard him bring it to our attention he said the kingdom of god is established first in righteousness when you come to god you'll be made righteous through obedience to the gospel this obedience brings peace between you and god and the natural result of peace in a relationship is joy so when we want people to have joy to feel good we got to take them back to getting right with god and the result of righteousness through obedience is peace and the natural result of peace is joy and if you remember when god brought you through that process of righteousness peace and joy would you give god praise and magnify him i've heard from my parents and witnessed it personally people will want you to help them feel justified in their lack of obedience to the word obedience to god's word not friendship to the pastor justifies a person before god in this relationship to people they will want you to change your message to make them feel more comfortable coming to your church but what does our dna do not alter there can be no genetic mutation and still produce true transformation i heard one family or heard bishop tell the story i wasn't there personally of one family that when he said in place standards of holiness amen to guide the church their response was we'll have to leave and we'll take our money with us he said i was broke before you got here and probably will be broke after you leave but i'm not changing the message amen i cannot change what god said in his word and your money will not make a difference in the end i hasten to a close what matters most amen the masses matter to god the prophet said multitudes multitudes in the valley of decision and we have been commissioned by god to reach multitudes of people and to love them and so we will preach till everyone has heard the gospel every soul matters to god because they are god's priority and god has dealt with me and i have felt literally charged and and just just motivated by god to teach bible studies and i've been privileged to teach bible studies and i'm constantly looking looking for more bible studies to teach every person is a candidate for me to teach them a bible study and when i'm presenting the idea to them people say what do you tell them i'll ask them have you ever gone through a systematic chronological study of the bible from genesis to revelation to which most reply i have not and then people say how to get bible studies i asked for them would you let me teach you a bible study that will change your life and so because of bible studies god is blessing this church and adding to the church daily and i believe after today's session with brother cornwell that there's going to be great men and women of god who are going to be fired up about going home and saying god give me bible studies and give me souls for my labor just a few more moments and i'm done god has connected us to our political world in this area and and i want to encourage you you need to be connected to your local state and if possible federal politicians because how can you win them if you're not friends with them you can't win people you're not friends with i remember judge jim smith who was one of our supreme court he was the chief justice of the supreme court he told me personally when we were going on a turkey hunt he said i come to your church because your daddy was my friend first he said and because he was my friend that's why i got baptized and obviously biblical conviction but it was a friendship that won him to the obedience to the gospel i was at a political luncheon and i met johnny and i was asked to pray at the luncheon afterwards he said hey man i'd like to get to know you i said let's meet up at cups coffee house and so i was there when he came in and had been there a few minutes may have taught another bible study i can't fully remember and he said it man thank you for taking time i said it's my privilege he said you come here often i said all the time i said i teach bible studies here he said bible studies like what are you talking about i said well i take people through the word of god from genesis to revelation he essentially said would you mind teaching me a bible study i said johnny what have you got for the next hour and a half he said i'm free for an hour and 50 or so minutes i said hang on i ran to my truck got my bible study chart and we've been in bible study ever since and i will win johnny to god can somebody give god praise for this that god is doing among us [Applause] one more verse of scripture acts 16 5 and so were the churches established in the faith and increased in number everybody say daily it is the will of god for you to get up every day with expectation that this is the day of salvation and now is the accepted time and we will exalt the majesty of jesus christ and we'll thank god we've been called to be messengers and we'll guard with our life the message and we will reach for the masses because this is what is most important to the heartbeat of god almighty and i want somebody to clap your hands and magnify jesus this is what makes this conference tick this is what makes us who we are we're magnifying the majesty and the messengers and the message and the masses and we're reaching would you stand would you lift your hands would you magnify the lord right now father i thank you for doing what only you can do among us be magnified let no personality oh god oh god rise above the preeminence of jesus christ and we will give you great praise in jesus name come on reach down in the bottom of your abdomen there and let out a big hallelujah thank god for the word come on everybody let's praise him hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah amen amen god bless you and you may be seated thank you pastor jason dillon for an incredible word of god what matters most amen praise god everybody say numbers shout numbers there's even a book in the bible called numbers we live in a world of numbers credit card numbers pounds lost and gained cell phone numbers passwords codes but counting involves more than numbers we count what matters most to us and discount that which doesn't now why all this talk about counting and what counts to god here's why if something doesn't count to you you won't keep doing it jesus said that wear your treasure there your heart what we treasure determines where we put our heart i believe i'm looking around some folks that's got their heart in this come on raise your hand i've got my heart in this amen if something doesn't count to me if i don't value or treasure it my heart won't be connected to it that's why we need to practice god's math malachi 3 and 8 says will a man rob god yet you have robbed me but you say wherein have we robbed you in tithes and offerings y'all can breathe but i do want to explain to you the difference between stealing and robbing if i slipped out in the parking lot when i put this microphone down and i break into your car and i took your firearm and your ipad and if your wallet really supposed to be in here with you in church but that is called stealing but if i walk up to you and pull a pistol and demand your wallet in your cash and your jewelry and whatever you've got that's called robbery that is a direct confrontation i'm taking it from you will a man steal from god will a man rob from god now i'm gonna go on okay when we tithe it is like paying rent on our lives all we have and all we are is from god i'm not gonna preach but i feel a little preachy right now tithing says i recognize that you are the rightful owner and i'm paying what is required of me to reaffirm that my life is not my own as god sees that we are internalizing the kingdom concept amen when bishop dillon prayed in the office a few moments ago he mentioned at least three times about this is kingdom this is kingdom it's not about us pastor jason just said it's about god it's kingdom and god sees that when we internalize the kingdom concepts and have made serious moves toward stewardship and then from time to time he will call upon us to give offerings give may by shout give us and it shall be given unto you good measure i told you you could breathe press down and shaken together and running over shall men give into your bosom for with the same measure that you met with all it shall be measured to you again amen remember you only give when you participate in offerings not just tithing so why does god want offerings if we already faithfully tithe offerings are opportunities to invest in the company obviously the returns are greater on an investment than when we would be paying rent it is god's way of saying have you crossed over to see the value of investing just a little time here talking about the difference between tithes and offerings have you crossed over to see the value of investing in the kingdom come into partnership with me and help me build the kingdom if god is going to run the company i would certainly like to participate in the prophets when seeing the kingdom come on earth is important enough that you willingly invest in its future then a wonderful freedom from the cares of this world settles on you i feel a release in the holy ghost now this past we just had count meeting a few weeks ago and i said to our district board and to all of our constituents our ministers that this year we're not going to get up there and spend 15 20 30 minutes 45 minutes to get an offer we're going to depend on god speaking to his people can i tell you this year the combination of our sponsors and our our sunday night offers we didn't even take a daytime offering that this year the records of the campground was broke by far more than double so i'm not going to stay up here another 15 minutes begging i'm going to tell you what's going to happen god's people is going to say i'm going to invest into the kingdom remember stewardship says it doesn't matter who owns it [Music] as long as you get to use it when you need it now if i offered you the keys to a new mercedes and said you could use it whenever you wanted would you be bitter because you didn't own it [Music] church when we learned the joy of stewardship under god's ownership the joy of stewardship under god's ownership we are free indeed now there are three kinds of givers the flint the sponge and the honeycomb to get anything out of a flint you must hammer and hammer and then all you get is a few chips and some sparks to to get water out of a sponge you must squeeze it and the more you use pressure the more you get but the honeycomb just overflows with its own sweetness i am not going to hammer or squeeze anyone because you have the sweet presence of god in your life and you know right now you're getting be presented an opportunity to invest albert einstein is noted for his work in the field of physics that's where he got his nobel prize in 1921 but one of his most famous quotes is one that appears to have nothing to do with physics einstein is reported to have said when asked what is the most powerful force in the universe you know what he said the most powerful and i quote the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest jesus practiced kingdom math kingdom math is exponential kingdom math compounds interest let me guess quickly how many times do you forgive another not once not twice not even seven times let it compound everybody say let it compound forgive seventy times the most powerful force on the earth is compound interest if you're asked to walk a mile with someone how far do you walk all i'm asking is let it compound walk two miles walk 10 miles walk all the way through life with that person if you ask for a coat what do you offer let it compound give your coat and your shirt as well and your shoes and your possessions church put your life into circulation and that's what i want you to do right now i'm going to put my life into circulation into apostolic conference into the kingdom of god and i'm going to let it compound compound interest your life compound interest your love compound interest your faith compound interest your hope compound interest your money tonight so here's what i'm going to do i grabbed a 100 bill and simply several you could do this and while i was in my office today preparing and thinking and praying i felt impressed to say pray a tenfold blessing on the offering tonight i don't have an elaborate prayer but i have a hundred dollar bill and if you've got a hundred dollar bill if you've got a thousand dollars tenfold blessing if you've got ten dollars but you know what the offering buckets are coming in front of everybody and if your neighbor don't have something to give why don't you compound it compound it and say here here's 10 bucks everybody right now as i go to the lord in prayer everybody in this room find a way to put something in this bucket that goes before you and let's compound what god is doing and make an investment everybody say i'm going to invest amen so shout it out loud let it compound god right now as our usher is getting away ready to wait on us as we receive this offering as we give to you god we're believing god that i am going to pray and we're going to agree with every minister in this house that there's a tenfold blessing on every individual here that means attendance that means finances that means god that you're going to take this blessing right now and you're going to speak to every individual we're not begging we're not hammering we're not squeezing we're just wanting the sweet holy ghost like the honey from the honeycomb begin to overflow right now in this service and i'm believing for a financial miracle as the blessings of god are compounded right now in jesus name everybody say in jesus name if you're gonna give clap your hands hallelujah let's love the lord right now [Music] mountains are still being moved strongholds are still being loosed god and i believe

speaker is ministry was birthed in west virginia well west virginia is in the house at 11 years old he was called to preach began his ministry it was birthed there then he went through formation evangelizing for several years and then assisting for short time twelve years ago his ministry came into power in zanesville ohio when he was elected pastor of the church in zanesville the last 12 years his ministry has birthed seven other churches in the state of ohio all which are growing intently he oversees a multi-campus ministry most of all brother aaron bounds is a man of prayer he's also a man of praise and a heavy prophetic anointing on his ministry would you welcome with me the pastor of zanesville ohio pastor aaron bounds thank you brother godwin praise the lord everybody [Music] amen the spirit of the lord is here heal some of you of physical conditions but there's some pastors wives that the lord is going to heal your spirit before the service is over tonight [Music] for probably 35 to 40 minutes the lord has allowed me to feel your spirit while many are dancing and shouting you're trying you want to see when we plant churches we don't understand what we have to go through to plant that church just be seated a moment let me just do what i feel here we we we don't understand the nature of what we have to deal with paul said in galatians 4 and 13. i'll take a text in a moment and but let me just do what i feel in galatians 4 and 13 says through the infirmity of my flesh paul said i preached the gospel to you at the first uh it came to me in my devotion because i've watched my dad plant four churches twice i've watched my mom and dad sell everything they had to plant a church and watch my dad go to a city and infirmity come over his body when he went to salt lake city lost his hearing in his left ear couldn't stand to be a crowd of people couldn't stand to go to the restaurant because noise the chaos that he would hear in that left ear while planting that church it was a great destruction for him when he moved to parkersburg and planted a church infirmity again attacked his body watched him have nine surgeries in two years an active man very gifted man i'd go to his house and he'd be sitting in his chair and couldn't get out of his chair couldn't even put on his own clothes couldn't even turn the key in the car nerves in his back allowed him to be physically impaired even became a diabetic and nearly died and i asked god why but it appears that when we are planting we are battling that when you're planting you are you're digging up hard soil and there's opposition even jesus when his ministry began he fought off brute beasts so i'm preaching to some people that you want to feel normal but you do not feel normal it's because you've been battling to plant the work and i never forget that when my dad through the leading of the lord and had turned the church over now my brother pastors there in parkersburg and through a prophetic word that was fulfilled i watched as my dad wakes up one morning there's no pain in his body he's no longer a diabetic completely healed physically fine because many are the afflictions of the righteous but he said i will deliver you out of them all and before this service is over god is going to bring healing to some of your spirit i know i'm talking about my dad but you preachers wives that are feeling numb emotionally i want every preacher's wife in the building to stand every preacher's wife in the room every every missionary's wife in the room stand to your feet you young ladies over here that preachers daughters stand to your feet i'm going to talk about the principle of it in a moment but by the authority of the word of god and the power of the name of jesus i command depression to leave you numbness to leave your spirit a command anxiety to disconnect from you right now be healed be freed in the name of jesus come on i want you to utter words in another language right now he carries [Music] be healed in the name of jesus come on make a declaration of god i'm not turning back now i'm gonna wait on you jesus i'm gonna wait on you jesus in jesus name be healed come on there's deliverance in this room hallelujah come on i want you to shout i'm not turning back now i'm not turning back now [Music] hallelujah in jesus name in jesus name in jesus name i want the ladies to be seated i want the men to stand the bible says let the weak say i am strong be careful to verbalize every emotion that you feel while planting the church if you're not careful you will own the emotion of the spirit that came to intimidate you i learned this from you bishop and you taught me this at a very key critical moment in my ministry when a spirit passes by you you are going to feel the emotion of that spirit whether it be fear or hopelessness anxiety when it passes through we are spiritual people we really are that was born in the spirit is spirit we are spiritual people and we we pick up on the things of the spirit and if you're not careful you're going to own the emotion of the spirit that came to attack you you start talking about being depressed when you're just fighting a spirit [Music] [Applause] and if you're not careful you're going to give residents to something that was just trying to intimidate listen the lord said to satan he said where you been he said i've been going to and fro throughout the earth [Music] the reason he stayed is because you owned it you thought it was you i'm so depressed i i feel so fearful and i've got this in my life you know what you need to do you need to say i am victorious tonight no weapon formed against me shall prosper i want you to prophesy with this preacher tonight i want you to shout no weapon formed against me shall prosper i am the son of god i am the apple of his eye he didn't call me to fail he called me to win come on you're winning tonight there's a breakthrough right now you're not depressed you've been in a war [Applause] i can't tell you hey verse victory come on shake off that beast shake it off in the fire of the holy ghost tonight [Applause] quit talking about everything trying to poison you we are so easily susceptible to talk about things trying to destroy us but it's interesting bishop that when paul was at the island of malita and he tries to build a fire and he gets a bundle of sticks when he sits it on the fire in the wintertime winter waters a snake comes out and bites him in the hand i'm not trying to be facetious here tonight but if we're not careful church planting's so bad i just wanted to do something for god and now i got a poison in my system you know where snake poison goes to the nervous system [Applause] it attacks the nervous system but he didn't talk about it he shook it off [Applause] and if we're not careful we'll call up all of our buddies and talk about what we're going through but somebody got to shake it off and realize by the end of the story i'm going to take the same hand that the enemy tried to destroy and i'm going to lay hands on the crippled man that's got disease in his body and healing's going to come out come on if you believe there's healing in you i want you to shout hallelujah you're going home healed you're going home filled and you're going home with authority clap your hands and shout to the lord [Applause] well i wouldn't take nothing for my journey now i've got to make it to heaven somehow though the devil tempts me tries to turn me around he's offered everything that's got a name all the wealth i want and worldly fame but if i could still i wouldn't say nothing for my journey now i think somebody ought to dance again come on you're building it now there's a shout in this room it didn't come to stay it came to pass yeah yeah i'm coming out of this trial i'm coming out of this mess hallelujah hallelujah come on prophesied and somebody say you're coming out [Applause] come on turn to two or three people and prophesy and say you're coming out hey come on wounded warrior you're about to be a restored warrior you're about to be healed warrior hallelujah come on lay your hand on your neighbor let let anointing come out of you come on it's in you the devil lied to you trying to tell you weren't anointed but you're anointed of god [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] now here's what i want this church to do i want this section to face this direction i want this section to face that direction i want this section to face that direction and this section of face that direction brother j 2 pew believed that the congregation should pray for that person that's going to minister to them and i just felt in the spirit earlier we need to pray for this church the devil doesn't like them when the church does this we're going to bless them with a prayer of authority right now i want you to pray for this

with me answered and said unto me knowest thou not what these be and i said no my lord then he answered and spaking to me saying this is the word of the lord under zerubbabel saying y'all never heard this verse before so maybe i'd have just skipped this one going down to come on somebody shouted not by might nor by power but by my spirit saith the lord of hosts come on shout it like you apostolic not by night nor about power but by my spirit said the lord a host who art thou o great mountain you start preaching like that mountains get small how we gonna get through this honey you know i don't know i hopefully get the apostolic conference we get a word you're going to walk in and say what was that mountain thinking [Music] what mountain what problem what prince of the city come on before zerubbabel thou shalt become the plain and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings crying grace grace unto it moreover the word of the lord came to me saying the hands of zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house everybody shout he started it his hands shall also finish it and the devil told you it was going to fold bottom was going to drop out of it haven't we learned every time he talks he's lying and thou shalt know that the lord of hosts has sent me into you for who hath despised the day of small things one version says for who at despise the day of small beginnings for they shall rejoice they shall rejoice and see the plummet or the plum line in the hand of the church planter with those seven what's my next move god i got a foundation started but what's next i got a mountain in front of me and i i'm measuring the direction you told me i'm waiting on you everybody shout watch my next move i'd like to preach from this portion of scripture despise not small beginnings despise not lift your hands just let the lord minister to you for a moment [Music] [Music] hey man you may be seated i sure love all of you here tonight thank you i really do i'm just so honored to be here and i look and see all these pks over here they told me growing up that pks were mean i just says cause we hang out with the saints kids i'll never forget when my dad my dad told us about the dream he had of going over the mountain planting the church the hills of west virginia almost heaven west virginia don't start singing it now we we got to move on i'll never forget that we own a home and dad had just bought a farm in the last year and it was a turkey hunting farm now that might not mean much to some of you but to a country boy i remember the pond wasn't that big but i remember when we bought it the guy said you don't even have to bait your hook you just throw your hook in their plane catch fish out of it i just i just a boy well you talking about you talking about appealing to an 11 year old boy yeah i've got i got a little boy my own the other day was digging a ditch in the yard and all these worms started turning up my seven-year-old i looked he had a handful of worms in his hand he said daddy we can go fishing i said yeah just put them up we'll we'll we'll go fishing later i was at the dinner table that night sitting beside me and he said beside me on the other side of my wife cindy sitting there and all of a sudden i heard him go oh at the dinner table i said what is a finn he said i said what is it he said i said just tell what it is he knew mama was right he said i got worms in my pocket [Applause] no you ain't never been fishing you're probably not safe so there's an altar for you later but growing up if there was you know it was it was everything a farm and daddy came he said sold the farm sit on the house remove it oh yeah what'd you do that for god called me to plant a church i have a little town glen ferris i'll never forget being a vehicle vehicle with him went over there and if you just throw a picture of the church building up there's an old school house 100 years old look at that it didn't look good we've been an apartment in the back of that that you know you get off the bus with the kids and i was already it was already a short bus because hardly any kids were in that community and you weren't the kids on that you know to thank you lived on the house above the church that had the pillars in front of it you know but this is where we started that was the beginning and and went into that into that church building and i was helping my dad one day in that church and we moved in there and and uh i remember one day a guy stopped by we didn't start a church yet but a guy stopped by and dad's telling he said we're gonna knock this wall out we're gonna have revive we're gonna fill this room up first and we're gonna go here and this one sunscreen i remember the preacher from georgia telling my dad he said i don't see it he said but i do he said i see it i'll never forget standing there one day helping him i my dad told me sometime i didn't have common sense and he's probably right about that i stand on the pallet board trying to remove the boards and got two nails pushed into my foot 12 years old took a piece of tennis shoe shoved it into my bone got infected i got a deformed foot waiting on that the heel they took my phone i had blood poison i was 12 year old boy and somebody walked in the room i might you ever had a throbbing pain and every throb coming you know is worse than the one that just left anybody know what i'm talking about and some spiritual person i don't remember i think god removed them from my mind walked in and said whatever you do boy don't question god i was 12. i wasn't trying to be disobedient but i was the one that felt like i was dying they walked out of the room and i said why it's hurting they did five surgeries and i remember thinking why but the lady the nurse that came and washed my feet and would change the bandages became our children's minister a lady at the doctor's office when i was 12 and i i just feel to tell all of you preachers kids or their north american missionaries kids to tell you that god didn't just call daddy he called the family now i just want to take my time a little bit right now but i remember one of my last doctor's appointments i was sitting there with my mom and uh i got up cause there's a lady right there and something started turning over me i was 12 year old boy but i just felt like i was supposed to witness to her tonight i got up you know because i felt like if i didn't i was gonna be lost i'm stirring on the inside i just 12 years old but my dad told me that god doesn't despise small let no man despise thy youth but be thou an example of the believer i got up something was stirring inside of me and i i walked a little bit and what i was doing i was pacing because i was trying to get some courage finally i said i know you don't know me but i just wanted to ask you if you'd come to our church she did she became the ladies director you thought there i am in the picture my dad sent me today and he said i told him dad you take care of the leading service i'll take care of the guitar i didn't know how to play guitar so my mom when she starts singing with a song we'd sing by calling says my god is real he's real in my soul misty went something like this we're in the key of g my god is c he's real in my g she's playing again she's playing the keyboard she's telling me the key changes you know amen i remember one service we had we had two guests brother jason well jason it was the only two guests besides me and my brother my mom and dad it was no longer us four no more but when he said he was from scrabble creek we know that there was a church back there back years ago that had a snake handling church there and in the middle of the service he leaves i'm glad my mom was in the spirit because she never hinted what he might be doing she had been gone she's still been running that was 1990. he goes out brings a box in the church he set the box on the platform open the box and pulls out an accordion praise god my dad said he was never so glad to see an accordion in all his life i remember the service where we had nine i remember the attendance board 13th i could still see the numbers bishop right 17 21 33 i'm just a kid but we broke 50 today we had 51. and in my dad's mind as if you're planning a church he thought you should be preaching and working would you show the picture there that's what church planting looked like stucco on the ceilings and i remember when it was 70 and 90 and broke a hundred rejoice over the beginning [Applause] rejoice over the start the beauty of church planting is everybody matters a pastor a pastor of church is 77 years old i'm the i'm the third pastor in 77 years very very strong church very powerful people than a pastor but in 2010 uh bishop you you prophesied about pastoring cities and things of that nature and eli hernandez had prophesied about about god expanding and how do you spell faith he said r-i-s-k we're going to start this church in crooksville but the god one and uh i love you but i got one when god gave us a word together the lord told me he said go to crooksville and start a church and we don't have any money anybody know what that's like we haven't we didn't have any money to go start a church but we had a word and i remember that god began to deal with us and and anyhow you know it was a prophetic moment in my house and god said go start a church there for those prophetic roots that haven't come to pass yet the lord spoke to him he said so there's there's prophetic roots there there's people there that that that i want you to reach and he said the enemy could shave samson's head but they couldn't touch his roots he said when you start everybody shall start start preaching the gospel there he said the prophetic roots are going to sprout new life and man that felt good when the prophecy came but when you start doing logistics and running numbers and calculating the team and how it's going to happen you don't have any money you know what you start thinking maybe i'm out of time and so i i talked myself out of it and went to a conference in ohio and just so happened that that conference jerry wayne dylan was preaching man you have a cool name i've thought you had the best name since i was a kid at church camp jerry wayne dylan amen he's standing preaching about the blood when i was a young camper in west virginia i thought that is the man right there that is the man he started preaching he's talking about importation i'll never forget it i had talked myself out of planting the church in the middle of your sermon it didn't have anything to do with what you're preaching you stopped and you said you know how you spelled faith r-i-s-k and i knew it was for me because i had postponed what god wanted me to do because it didn't add up because we want the source and the plan to all lay out and then we start but god's looking for people that said it's not gonna be because of money that you planted it it's not by might nor by power but it's gonna be by his spirit i went home and this true story and oh i went you can be seated i went home and and that was a friday night that he preached that on saturday i had a dream i had a dream that i drugged my feet and a lady to buy this building we looked at a building we were to let things by and talk myself out of it but anyhow i had a dream that i drugged my feet and i didn't buy the building because i didn't have faith that was in my dream and in my dream a short-haired lady from the art center bought the building because i didn't have faith to do it i woke up and god gave me a number sixty three thousand five hundred i called a board member went down made a we made a uh um offer offer on the building and guess what they accepted problem is we didn't have any money you were with me pookie was with me amen you remember that night that the holy ghost fell and that lady that was back slid oh i feel utterance coming up over me you see the bible says through this though it's tree though it'll be cut down to the scent of water what some of you didn't recognize is that when you made the decision to go god started sending something before you ever got there just say when the water came the tree it said the scent of the water came to the tree and when we announced just made the decision to go backslider started running home that were in that church from decades ago that were backslid a preacher's daughter was laying the altar speaking in tongues 35 years out of the church 35 years of church she's prayed in tongues and the holy ghost started moving and you know when the preacher starts humming that means he feels good he just doesn't know what to say and i went over and he said you just do it brother god said just do what you feel and i said i said i don't know where i'm preaching i just feel guy runs up he said i'll give a thousand dollars cowboy boots run up he never been in the microphone ever in the years i've pastored give a thousand somebody else jump i'll give a thousand i didn't even ask for an offering i'll get 500 i'll get 500 little girl jumped up on her seat she said i'll give two forty thousand dollars later bishop on thursday was the last day to get the money we couldn't get a loan because the way things were at the moment but on thursday we had to sign the papers the secretary called me she said the last dollar came in this morning you know how you spell faith listen [Applause] i'm worried about time because but i just need to do something here that night we received the money three and a half years later when i was transitioning out of planting that church there's a daughter worked that a pastor god showed me a man that was going to be the next pastor and i went to and i said but tony i said you you have a burden for crooksville it's the name of the town and he said i do every night i pray he said remember when we received that offering on sunday night i said yeah he said i came to the lord that morning he was a upc pastor's son was backstage for 22 years but when we decided to start he woke up you remember you preached when he repented about the blood i'll never forget it he said i woke up that morning said i'm going to the altar today god sent you because he has a plan hold on i know you're calculating in your mind right now but you got to understand god knows who they are already i think somebody jumped your feet and shout god knows the next move [Applause] come on do you believe they're there i just need somebody to believe what i'm preaching for yourself right now god knows the next move [Applause] this year had a man prophesied to me he said this year's gonna be a year fruition you're gonna things that you spoke are gonna come to pass and you'll understand things this year i i serve on a board in town and the servant with the banker that was the head banker of the bank we got along for that building he called me a few weeks ago and he said pastor i want to meet with you he said before a movie i just want to sit down and as soon as we sit down he starts crying the holy ghost starts moving on him and uh he said remember when you you all got that building in crooksville i said yeah he said you know there was this uh lady from the art center that was going by that building [Applause] he said and i talked her out of it listen it doesn't always add up and there's some times when you're planting churches you you started it it's not what you expected yet only thing you've got is a foundation and you're you're wondering next i know it's so simple but god's got the next move do you hear what i'm preaching to you right now god knows exactly where the next dollar the next person hold on a minute hold on we've got to learn to be spirit lit again instead of resource minded and and and templates and and processes there's got to get something as it gets apostolic again and said i just need to hear the word of the lord i know there's some measuring i know there's some decisions but when he was looking for his help not from a man but from god that's when the prophet zechariah showed up and said thus saith the lord it's not my might and it's not my power but it's by my spirit saith the lord of hosts somebody shout hallelujah amen i find it interesting be seated something i felt earlier today and study i've known i was going to preach here for a long time something i felt earlier in study is we've got to get something out of the room right now before we can move on to the prophetic and the promise and understand what god's doing we got to stop doing one specific thing in haggai chapter two it says speaking to zerubbabel the son of sheila the isle governor of judah and to joshua the son of jose deck the high priest and to the residue of the people saying you have to understand the people that were left had been in babylonian captivity and the people that were the remnant had a poverty mindset he said who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory because haggai is encouraging them to start the program you just need to start you just need to start it quit trying to save all the resources [Applause] listen they said already god's not going to do this where a person gets the credit where a financial backer is going to get the credit i know we got to use wisdoms while god gives us pastors and bishops we get overseers but there's got to get something in you that says you know what god gave me a word and if i have a word come on i'm talking about you've got to get a word from the lord and a prophet we need prophets in this building i want you to stand your feet and shout we need a prophet among us i want you to shout it again we need a prophet among us but here's what we got to remove remain standing for just a moment he said who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory and how do you see it now it's not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing he said the problem with church planting is comparisons [Applause] somebody walks up to you and you've been there for a year how many are you running now everything in you wants to give the easter report and you've got social media that has access to every crook and cranny all over north america and somebody goes to a town where there's already been a seed bed of the gospel and prayer and has somebody's interceded for that that church player didn't see him or not decades ago and they go there and they have a quick harvest and you go to a town where there's never been a prayer meeting [Applause] and you and your wife are sitting around eating cheese and crackers seeping on cold coffee [Music] feeling bad what are we doing wrong and your spirit's discouraged and your kids chins are on their on their chest because they're wondering why what there's no joy in the church like there was when you said you were going to go it has nothing to do with god has everything to do with you're comparing yourselves with other people i know it's a bold statement but facebook and social media is killing our families i know people that have to hide certain people because they don't want to feel that they're doing bad because somebody else has always posted how good they're doing and what i've learned i'm not against holy ghost reports i'm not against attendance reports i like seeing them on sunday night please don't misunderstand me but there's some people that don't can only be validated by posting only the great things in the world and you don't see the battle that's going on in reality we've got to get a hold of confidence i'm here because god made gave me a word and he said it if god is with me that's all that really matters i want you to lift your hands and say god i'm not comparing any longer come on i'm not comparing [Applause] any longer quit judging yourself i want this platform to help me preach real quick would you shout don't compare any longer [Applause] prophets have said it so i've said it as well he said be be seated yet now be strong oh zerubbabel am i okay on time i have a little time i've come to preach to you missionaries that's who i've come to preach to i know i'm in the perfect will of god even now yet now be strong as aruba will saith the lord and be strong with joshua the son of joseph deck the high priest and be strong all ye people the land said the lord and work just keep working for i am with you with you he said i am with you said the lord according to the word that i covenanted with you when you came out of egypt so my spirit remaineth among you fear ye not for thus saith the lord a host yet once it is a little while and i will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land and i will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come and i will fill this house i know enough about preaching that when we read a lot of verses we can get our attention on something else but let's just go to the verse i just read he said i'm going to fill this house that you started with my glory said the lord of hosts verse 8. this is a comforting verse are you ready the silver is mine [Applause] [Music] and the gold is mine [Music] [Applause] come on if you believe i think you ought to jump up and shout amen to that one i just really feel that if you will trust him and quit waiting on men god's going to send the money so the man won't get the glory telling somebody the holy ghost quit fretting over money and just work and watch god's going to provide the finances i need somebody to shout with me hallelujah the lord has released this economy to be a blessing to this church everybody in the room i want you to lift your hands i want you to ask god to prosper you right now come on it's not wrong to pray for prosperity he delighteth continue to say to the light of the prosperity of his servant right now god i'm praying right now that you will provide the finances to do what you've called me to do [Applause] in the name of jesus in the name of jesus in the name of jesus come on clap your hands and shout thank god for what he's going to do i want you to look at your neighbor and i want you to say i believe what he's preaching i want every north american missionary look at your wife and i want you to tell her god is going to take care of us be seated a moment i uh i'll never forget when i looked into the refrigerator one day and this was at the beginning but the shot well the only thing in the refrigerator was a bottle ketchup now now now now let me tell you something you ain't ever seen a bright red bottle ketchup like that until it has the background of an empty refrigerator it's like a spotlight i was 12 years old and i remember thinking dad said god's gonna take care of us so i shut the refrigerator and i stood back at 12. i didn't say anything to mom and didn't complain i said i'm gonna wait and see what happens they didn't know it dinner that night there was a meal on the table i don't know how where mom got it did what she did there's a meal on the table the next day i remember the phone call from a pastor i was in the room and brother smith called and he said hey brother bounds this is pastor smith i'd like you come preach for me he said can you preach this weekend he said yeah i'd love to they went preach from after church on sunday night they had what they call a pounding for our family pound for the bounds he said amen bishop i'll never forget they loaded our car down with groceries spencer i won't forget buddy on the way home they they couldn't hardly get the trunk shut for the boxes of groceries i was sitting on a box of groceries my feet was propped up on groceries my brother was sitting on a box for groceries his feet was propped up later i come to understand i was young but now i'm old but i've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread i'm telling somebody there's going to be some tough times but wait on the lord somebody shout amen remain standing music can come the holy ghost is here but there's an impartation going to happen in just a few moments we're at the last hour we are at the last hour we are the last hour church we've got to be more apostolic than we've ever been i'm talking about depending on the lord god's not trying to get you to suffer he just wants you to know it's him what am i going to do what am i going to do and the word says it's reuben bell by your hand it was started and by your hand it's going to finish you see but haggai had a prophecy for zerubbabel not just zachariah watch what he says haggai 2 and 23 it says in that day saith the lord of hosts excuse me well i take thee oh zerubbabel my church planter my servant saith the lord and will make thee as a signet you know what a signet was it was the signature of the king when he would put that in clay or in wax it it gave authenticity or the authority for the document when the signet was used it was as if the king was standing there saying this is what i want god said i'm going to give make you the signet on my hand you're going to be the authority there and whatever you do i'm going to back up through you for he's able to do exceedingly abundantly somebody shout above all but we can ask or think through the power that worketh in us i had a dream a while back i'm almost done a promise i had a dream while back in my dream i was preaching in my dream i said what if you could get to a place in god that he trusted you that whatever you would pray he would bring to pass and in my dream a lady on this side of the church stepped out of her seat with her hands raised in the dream with a white blouse came to the altar like that believing it and i woke up and i knew i had a word for the church and i got to the place in the sermon and i said what if you could get to a place so that god trusted you that whatever you would pray it would come to pass and here came that lady in that outfit in my dream that she bought that week we are entering a place in the spirit that what we say god's going to do it quit talking about the serpent and start talking about the king come on five loaves and two fishes didn't look like much it was just the beginning but it fed a multitude a little mill in the barrel a little flask in the oil was just a start but god multiplied it

bound in heaven why serve you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven zerubbabel i'm making you my authority hold on listen open your spirit right now but listen to me joshua was so trusted by god that when he was in the battle with the lord battle against the enemy a moment in a moment of passion we need just a few more moments to win son stand still and god obeyed the voice of a man for he said there was never a day like this day that god hearkened to the voice of a man [Music] and we are here that whatever you say there's even a verse that he said command us thou me [Music] it's a
