The Death & Resurrection of Miracles | James Wilson | Centerpointe Apostolic Church

well praise the lord everybody are you excited to be in the house of the lord on the first sunday of 2021 amen i am just so excited about being in the house of the lord amen you know some people didn't make it here this sunday some people i didn't make it to 2021 but god was so gracious to let us see the coming of another year and i don't know about you but i'm excited about what god is going to do in 2021 amen i can't make you any promises that 2021 will be any better than 20. now that's not what some of you want to hear you're like man i did not want to hear that this sunday morning but this is what i can promise you i can't promise you that jesus is still going to be on the throne in 2021 and as long as jesus is on the throne there's still going to be miracles the church is going to be triumphant there's still going to be signs and wonders come on you're still going to make it i've never seen the righteous forsaken nor their seed begging for bread come on as long as jesus is on the throne we're gonna be all right we're gonna be all right and so i come in today with expectation in my spirit about what god is going to do before we leave this service today why don't you stand out i'll get into the word of the lord today but before i do i do want to actually before i kind of make some remarks why don't you turn your bibles to matthew chapter 6 verses 25 through 33 is what we'll be reading and i apologize to the media team i was kind of torn about what i was going to preach but i feel uh the help of the lord leading me in this uh the spirit of the lord leading me in this direction matthew chapter 6 verses 25 through 33 but as you're turning there i want to say what a high honor it is to be with you all today honor your pastor brother allen brother stevens the entire ministry team of center point apostolic church can you give your leadership a hand amen such incredible people and had the opportunity to spend just a little bit of time with you guys about this time last year i guess it was maybe february march of last year and uh what is interesting is this was the last location i was at before everything just kind of shut down so uh hopefully we won't have a redo brother alan and i'll get back to the hotel and i don't know sister regina i remember being at the hotel i think they were my ride back and i said sister regina i think i need to go i think the whole nation's about to shut down and so but it is such a high honor to be back with you all and uh just so excited about what god is going to do today matthew chapter 6 verse 25 is where we will begin our reading the bible says therefore i say unto you take no thought for your life what you shall eat or what you shall drink nor yet for your body what you shall put on is not the life more than meat and the body then raiment behold the fowls of the air for they so not neither do they reap nor gather into barns yet your heavenly father feedeth them are ye not much better than they i want to skip down to verse number 31 therefore take no thoughts saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or wherewithal shall we be clothed for after all these things do the gentiles seek for your heavenly father knoweth that you have need of all these things but seek ye first the kingdom of god and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you we'll flip over to first samuel chapter 21 and we'll start reading at verse 10. give you a second to turn there give them a second to get that up first samuel chapter 21 starting at verse number 10. we find that david has been in the presence of saul after saul's jealousies of david's victories david arises and flees away from the presence of saul and this is where we pick up the story the bible says and david arose and fled that day for fear saul and went to achish the king of gath verse 11 and the servants of acres said unto him is not this david the king of the land did they not sing one to another of him and dances saying saul has slain his thousands and david his ten thousands verse number 12 and this is where i would like for us to fasten our attention for the next few moments of our service together the bible says when david heard this that david laid up these words in his heart and was sore afraid of achish the king of gath david laid up these words in his heart with the help of the lord i want to preach on this title today the death and resurrection of miracles the death and resurrection of miracles why don't you put your bibles down and let's pray together god we come before you today and we thank you for your presence that is already here god you are everywhere all at once lord so we know that you're already here but god we pray that you would manifest your glory that you would manifest your power to us god that you would show us your glory in this place in the name of jesus god i pray from front to back side to side let our understanding be open to the scriptures today god let us not hear enticing words of man's wisdom and knowledge but god let there be a move in a demonstration of the holy ghost on this first sunday of 2021. we want you god we don't want to just come in and go through the motions but god somebody needs the holy ghost today somebody needs to be healed today somebody needs to be delivered today and god we've come desperate to see it happen lord so pour out your power come on would you lift up your voice and pray in the holy ghost right now pour out your glory in this room oh god pour out your anointing in this place so god in the name of the lord jesus christ come on center point for a few more seconds would you lift up your voice right now to the lord and begin to magnify him oh lord we love you oh lord speak to us in this room today in the name of the lord jesus christ in the name of the lord jesus christ we give you praise and glory one more time why don't you clap your hands unto the lord amen you may be seated in the house of the lord it seemed as if this was another normal day in the life of david but today was not another normal day in the life of david today was the day that david's life would change forever he'd be vaulted there i say enshrined into jewish folklore by the working of a bonafide miracle his slaying of that philistine giant goliath and so as david marches on to the battlefield to face goliath his response to what he hears is not what others thought it should be david as he marches on to the battlefield to face goliath comes with power and might and anointing because you see david was not the underdog although others might say that david because of his stature and because of his age was the underdog can i tell you that i disagree with this because no child of god at any time under any circumstances is the underdog however this does not negate that through the lenses of human logic and reasoning it would seem as if david was in over his head and so when david arrives in the valley of elah and he hears the defying challenge of goliath david's response to what he hears is not what others expected you see david did what our scripture text told us to do and david took no thought for his life because david understood this my response to what i hear will determine what i will have and while the men of israel responded by scattering and hiding themselves at the sound of goliath's bellowing voice a boldness lays hold of youthful david and he responds by advancing to the battlefield to face goliath can i tell you there was no fear or trepidation in him there was no deliberation or hesitation in david because although david was a youth he was no novice he had slain a brawny bear in the verdant pastures where he had attended to his father's sheep and silenced a mighty lying's roar with the sharpness of his sling and david newhall although my back is against the wall and this giant stands before me i serve a god that is able to deliver me therefore i'm not going to stand back in fear i'm not going to stand back with trepidation but i'm going to march forward with boldness i'm going to march forward with some intensity in my steps and believe that my god is going to show up show out and do a miracle in my life on the first sunday of 2021 i've come to preach to someone that your response to what you hear will determine what you have i said your response to what you hear is going to determine what you have you may have heard the enemy say that there is no hope for you you may have heard the devil say that you'll never get out of where you are right now but i've come to preach to someone in the holy ghost and tell you today just because you hear a bad report just because you hear doubt just because you hear fear doesn't mean that things have to turn out that way but if somebody will stand up in the midst of what the doctor says and say i still believe we serve a miracle worker if someone will stand up in the midst of what the world is saying about your lost family and say they're not too far gone they they haven't done too much that god can reach them can i tell you that's when god will begin to show up and do miracles in your life [Applause] oh if you believe that i wonder if you clap your hands in this place [Applause] come on i know 20 20 was hard for some of you in this place but i've come to tell you it's not time to give up on god it's not time to throw in the towel but right now you're standing in the midst of an opportunity for god to do a miracle in your life but the choice is yours are you going to stay where you are are you going to stay in the doubt that you've been living in or are you going to rise to the occasion and say i don't care how high the odds are stacked against me i serve a god that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever ask for the god therefore i'm not staying where i'm at but i've let my faith arise to believe for miracle signs and wonders in this year oh somebody lift up your voice and praise god right now i said god is not done with your family i know what it looks like on the outside i know what the enemy's been whispering in your ear huh but the devil is a liar god's not done with you out i don't care what the devil says i decided that i'm going to believe the report of the law [Applause] oh i've come to build somebody's faith this morning because some of you the enemy's been talking in your ear telling you all types of things that are going wrong in your life and can i tell you some of those things might be right but here's the trick of the enemy the enemy will speak to us and tell us things that we think must be true because the devil said them to us or the world says this about us but can i tell you something the bible makes it very clear that the devil is a liar he's the father of lies and the truth is not in him so i've come to preach to the spirit world excuse me for a second while i preach to the spirit world and let you know spirit world that there's nothing you can do to stop what god is getting ready to do i know in 2020 you've tried to discourage and we're out the saints of the living god but we still have a promise that in the last days saith god i will pour out my spirit come on church god is not done with us we're getting ready to see the greatest days of revival we've ever seen we're getting ready to see more miracle signs and wonders that we've ever seen but you got to respond in faith you can't cower in doubt but you got to join your faith with god and say i'm believing for you to do a miracle in my life oh somebody clap your hands if you believe that oh somebody lift up your voice in this room if you believe that [Applause] huh i know how high the odds seem stacked against you but no child of god at any time is an underdog and if we will allow for our faith to rise in this place god will begin to do what only he can do is there anybody that still believes that we serve a god that's able to do miracles i don't know about you but i believe that we still serve a god that's able to do miracles i'm just gonna go with what i feel right now you see the bible lets us know this because this is what i feel sometimes and i'm guilty of this myself i'm not telling you something that i don't do i think it's human nature for us to do this but it's real easy for us to say god i believe that you're able to do miracles but the moment someone close to us or the moment we ourselves get afflicted with a sickness or a disease oh god i now now i believe you can do it for someone else but not for me because it's real easy to say you have faith it's another thing to demonstrate that faith the bible lets us know that faith without works is dead so if we say that we believe that god can do miracles yet we have not enough faith to exercise that faith and belief for god to do it when we lay hands on somebody i would argue with us that we don't have as much faith as we think we do but here's a here's the encouraging thing for you today the bible says that all we need is faith the size of a grain of mustard seed and we can speak to a mountain and say to that mountain be removed and cast into the sea and that mountain will have to move can i tell you it's not the amount of your faith it's the it's your ability to exercise your faith that will determine whether or not you get what you need from god in this place can i tell somebody you don't have to have a whole lot of faith you just got to make up your mind to take a little chance and use your faith you just gotta make up your mind i'm gonna lay hands on the sick today and i'm believing that they're gonna recover i'm gonna lay hands on somebody today and believing god that they're gonna get the baptism of the holy ghost come on somebody you've come too late to tell me that our god cannot do miracles i've seen him do it with my own two eyes i've seen him do it with my own two years god is still in the miracle working business [Applause] we were in a service like this about this time last year i was preaching brother allen and the lord spoke to me can you believe that god interrupted my beautiful nice sermon brother alan i can't believe it i was like lord i'm like i'm right at the point you know the point this is the point god that i hit and then everyone goes crazy and you have the audacity can you believe that god spoke to me and said i want you to stop right here i'm getting ready to heal people in this room i said okay i said right now he said yes right now okay and so i told him i said god just spoke to me and told me he's getting ready to heal somebody in this place now before you think that i'm some super spiritual guy that that you know wakes up and i'm floating because i've been on a 21 day fast and and everything is just great can i tell you i'm human and this as a matter of fact was the first time i'd had anything like this quite happen in my ministry where god spoke to me like this in such a clear way that there was miracles getting ready to be poured out but you know what i was just crazy enough to believe that he could do and so i said god okay let's do this thing i said god just spoke to me and told me that he wanted to heal and do miracles in this room i want you right now to lift up your hands and we're going to pray together and i said i want you to lay your hand on wherever the infirmity is on your body and when we pray in the name of jesus god is going to touch you and he's going to heal your body now as soon as those words came out of my mouth brother alan i was like oh no no no no what have i done y'all got to loosen up a little bit all right y'all making me real nervous right now what have i just done but can i tell you something when god when god has given you a word god will honor that word and when you exercise your faith according to his word something will happen the bible says it this way the bible says that you don't have what you ask for because you ask amiss but when you ask in the will of god and can i tell you it is the will of god that you be healed it is the will of god that people be delivered it is the will of god that people be filled with the baptism of the holy ghost it is the will of god that you leave out of here with victory over your depression it is the will of god that you leave out of here with victory over fear so when we pray and we ask according to the will of god in faith something happens and so we prayed you know what after we got done praying i was just kind of like well praise god we moved on with the service because to be honest with you i was a little bit scared brother allen to ask whether anybody had been healed well as we were in altar call that night powerful move of god people were getting the holy ghost everywhere we were in the altars there was a young man that came up to me said brother wilson this girl over here in the corner wants you she wants your attention i said okay so i went over to where she was brother allen and i saw that she had a cast on her leg she said brother wilson she said i got to tell you something she said as you were praying she said uh uh you can see my leg i broke it uh yesterday or it was yesterday or the day before i broke it she said it's broken in three places she said i can i can barely walk on it she said it's just hard to walk on she said but when you started praying she said when you said in the name of jesus she said i had my hand on my leg and she said when you said in the name of jesus she said something shot down my leg she said and i can walk on and she said there's zero pain she said as soon as i get this cast off i'm gonna walk i believe god has healed my body today can i tell you right now that's the type of god that we serve but you gotta put some legs to your faith you gotta say i don't care what the doctor says i'm going to believe what god says about me in that same service the bishop of that church had some knees that were really messed up the cartilage had completely eroded from his knees over just life just the course of life there was no cartilage in his knees as a matter of fact the bone was rubbing against the bone as you can imagine he was in a lot of pain and discomfort but that day as we began to pray he laid his hand on his knees and prayed in the name of jesus and when he prayed something happened in his leg something happened in his knee joints and he believed that god healed him that next day he got up and he was walking around just fine he said i need to go to the doctor he said i believe god has healed my body i need to go get some x-rays i believe god has done a supernatural work in my body he goes to the doctor the doctor brings up the x-ray from before and clearly there was cartilage that was not there all the cartilage was gone the bone was rubbing against the bone nothing there the doctor takes him by the knees and begins wiggling his knees trying to make him feel pain says doc i don't feel any pain i'm telling you i've been completely healed by the power of god we prayed yesterday in the name of jesus and god has healed my leg and the doctor says are you sure this this is impossible dog i'm telling you god has completely healed my leg the doctor said okay let's just take an x-ray to take a look at things and so when the doctor took an x-ray of his knees they had the x-ray from before where there was no cartilage bone rubbing against bone but when they looked at the other x-ray there was cartilage where there was no cartilage god had supernaturally put something back where there was nothing and they had the tangible visible proof that jesus christ is still a healer i've come to tell somebody that's the type of god that we serve today he's still able to heal your body he's still able to deliver your soul up but you've got to put your faith up in the action today and believe that he still cared come on i wonder if you would clap your hands and give the lord praise somebody lift up your hands right now i want you to begin to pray in the holy ghost if you need something in your body right now huh i want you to begin to pray in the holy ghost come on if you need healing in your body i want you right now to begin to pray for healing to fall right where you are by the authority of the word of god and the power that is in the name of jesus christ let the healing virtue of your spirit flow in this room right now i command cancer to be healed i command right now for ligaments to be put back together in the name of the lord jesus christ let your healing virtue flow in this room right now in the name of jesus come on lift up your voice for a few more seconds right now come on somebody i'm not talking about a fairy tale i'm not talking about something that happened in the bible i'm talking about things i've seen with my own eyes and if god can do it for somebody in california somewhere he can do it for you today in murfreesboro tennessee come on church god's still in the business of doing miracles i'm way off my notes but i just feel to do this in the holy ghost to just share stories and faith i was about 16 years old there was a lady in our church her name by her name was shirley price sister shirley price was a wonderful lady a matriarch of our church a lady that just loved god and loved truth and sister shirley price just an incredible woman of god but during this time she was suffering from cancer and i can remember it so vividly brother wesley sister shirley price would come to church with an oxygen tank on her back and every time that church service would get going and the music would start playing you could find sister shirley price at the front with an oxygen tank on her back with cancer all throughout her body giving god praise worshiping and magnifying the name of the lord yet some of us when we come into church we have problems moving our left pinky toe perfect health in our body yet we come into the house of the lord and we cannot lift up our hands yet we got a woman with cancer all in her body that can praise the lord i don't know about you in this place but i still believe that god is worthy of praise and when i come into the house of the lord i'm not going to let somebody else praise for me because i know what god has done in my life and i'm going to let the redeemed of the lord say so come on somebody i said it's time for the redeemed of the lord to say so god has done something in my body god has saved my soul god has delivered me therefore i'm not going to be quiet but i'm going to magnify the name of jesus i'm going to lift up the name of jesus so sister shirley price would be there at the front worshiping and praising god with cancer all in her body i mean she would let us have it she was a staple on sunday morning you knew you could find sister shirley at the front worshiping and praising and lifting up the name of jesus but on this particular day i was about 16 17 years of age and i can remember it vividly she came to the front just as she had done so many times began to worship and begin to magnify the lord and all of a sudden in the very front of the church almost in the middle of the church she collapsed and she literally died right there in the front of the church and i can remember brother allen the the gloom and the doom that just sent into that search can you imagine that someone dying in the middle of a church service in the middle of the of the hospital someone dies in the front of our church i remember the entire church came to service came to screeching hope we started panicking so a lady that was so beloved in our church and and for about 15 or so minutes there was no breath in her body there was no pulse there was nothing she was dead we had already called the ambulance they were coming we had already called everything i mean the church service was essentially over as this lady was dead but i remember in the middle of that church service something getting a hold of my pastor's wife because she understood that how you respond to a situation is what determines how that situation will ultimately turn out and something in her spirit changed and she realized who she was in christ she realized the ability that we have as christians and the and she went over there to where sister shirley price was and i will never forget it as long as i live she got down on both of her knees she put both of her hands on sister shirley price and she prayed in the name of jesus and commanded for life to come back into that body and all of a sudden sister shirley price jerked up and stood to her feet and began worshiping and praising god and she's still living cancer-free today can i tell somebody you've come too late to tell me that god cannot do miracles i've already seen him do it with my own two eyes you've come too late to tell me that cancer can't be healed i've already seen him do it but you gotta respond in faith today you gotta respond and believe today and say god i'm believing for you to do it for me come on somebody lift up your voice and pray right now with the holy ghost come on somebody lift up your voice right now huh he [Applause] come on somebody needs healing in their body and can i tell you all you have to do is throw up your hands and begin to pray come on brother wesley mentioned it earlier these signs shall follow them that believer they'll lay hands on the sick and they shall recover her come on somebody if you're a believer in this place can i tell you that signs are following you [Applause] come on i feel something breaking in the holy ghost right now come on i feel something breaking up in the spirit right now [Applause] come on god is moving right now come on right now faith is arising in this place come on right now somebody is getting the faith that they need to believe again come on right now somebody's getting the hope they need to believe again come on i'll come to preach to you that god's not done with you god's not done with your family god's not done with your home but he's waiting for you to step out take a step of faith and believe him to do it
