they told me at the hospital you know if it gets worse your numbers start dropping you need to come back i i made up my mind then that if i'm going to leave here it's not going to be in this hospital it's going to be at home and the worst feeling in the world is to watch those numbers drop come back up and then drop again [Music] and i i i told god i said god if you're going to take me just prepare me to go and as you can see he did not take me hallelujah so as i had about a month and a half to recover there was a song i heard and it just simply says [Music] i'm alive because there's

believe god by faith and stretch out your faith to receive it right now in jesus name [Music] it's available to you the bible says where two or three of us are gathered together he will be in the midst and whatsoever we ask in his name he shall do it for you can i hear some faith [Music] today bless his name [Music] turn with me in your bibles to philippians chapter 2 as we conclude today our series the power of confession philippians chapter 2 beginning at verse 5 when you have that show some sign [Music] verse 5 says let this mind be in you which was also in christ jesus who being in the form of god thought it not robbery to be equal with god but made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men and being found in fashion as a man he humbled himself and became obedient unto death even the death of the cross wherefore god hath also has highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name that at the name of jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth let me read that again that at the name of jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven things in earth things under the earth that every tongue should confess jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father the name [Music] of jesus father we bless your name today for your goodness and your mercy holy spirit assist now as you always do free us from the challenges of the week the stresses of the moment that we might hear clearly see with clarity understand with completeness and then live what we are about to hear we're stretching our faith to you today because we know that your word is designed to birth faith in us so we walk away today with stronger faith with great faith with the kind of faith we need to do what you've assigned us to do in this earth now god we pray collectively for those that are not saved we pray for those that are in a backslidden condition we pray for those that have been searching for a place to call home but most of all today god we just want to thank you for being who you are give you praise honor and glory for who you've been to us thank you for your darling son jesus his work at calvary that produced our salvation thank you for sending us the holy ghost when he came back to sit at your right hand that right now we occupy a seat we never thought we'd occupy seated in heavenly places with christ now god as we complete the understanding of the power that you put in our voices help us lord to walk in the authority that you've created us to enjoy help us now understand your word in new depths of revelation new depths of knowledge and understanding help us now that after today we would be proud to say not only do we come boldly to your throne but we speak that name boldly in the face of adversity we're going to talk to mountains after today we're going to speak to demons we're not going to toil because we understand our authority that we're high above all principalities and powers now god bless us our minds in our hearts we might receive everything you have to say and i thank you and i give you praise one more time in jesus name somebody honk amen [Music] hallelujah hallelujah [Music] the last time we were together we uh had a conversation regarding the power of the name of jesus and we started with uh a focus on the headship of christ in our lives we walk through the scriptures and begin to understand that a body is identified by its head that a headless body is difficult to identify that's why we are called the body of christ because he is our head and we the church is his body we fundamentally move to the next step where we discovered that we have to submit to the head because the head is our authority and if jesus is our head and we are identified by him it is essential that we submit to his will because the head tells the body what to do it is imperative that we understand the body was never designed to tell the head what to do but your brain is supposed to dictate what the body can and cannot do so there is no temptation there is no emotion there is nothing in us that would seek to perpetuate itself that we cannot control with this mind the mind of christ is what god has given us and we have this mind so he's the head of the body the bible says the philippians let this mind be in you which was also in christ jesus speaking of the headship of christ to you and i not just the church the corporate structure but the corporeal the living part of the body of christ the bible lets us know in ephesians chapter 2 verse 46 that we are joined supernaturally with him in other words we have been made alive with jesus christ that this new supernatural life that we live is because of the head that we are connected to we understand the divinity of jesus christ and we've been joined alive with him and because we've been joined alive with him we now sit spiritually in heavenly places and we made a point of telling you this you need to understand this revelation is personal it is absolutely your revelation today that you are not only the christ is not only the head of your life but you are his body and at times like we discovered in our last communion we have to stay aware of who we are stay aware if you will to discern not my body but his body to discern that now that he is our head we are his body and now there's been a distinct shift in our position in the universe we now sit in heavenly places with him he's at the right hand of the father and because we sit with him because we are joined with him he is far above all principalities and powers and we learned last week that now we are far above all principalities and power so that means your struggle with the devil should come to an end it should have started last week because you don't have to toil because you're not doing the work god is doing to work in you and satan is already a defeated enemy and since he is defeated you don't have to struggle to win a battle with him because you are much higher than him you sit in much heavenly place you're far above him far above all principalities and far above all powers a demon is no threat to you the devil himself has no more authority over you you no longer have to feel threatened or intimidated by the enemy the enemy ought to feel intimidated by you [Music] watch where we go in order to fully comprehend what god is attempting to do for us we had to come to an understanding as the flow of the kingdom and last time god used the illustration of the centurion as an individual who jesus says has great faith not just faith but great faith and jesus makes him distinguished in the bible he says i haven't found faith like this among all the people that claim to believe on us i haven't found this kind of faith in all of israel he says and he says it because the centurion understand how the kingdom works centurion understood that his authority was not in him it came from someone else that who was the head in his time caesar when the centurion spoke he was speaking watch this what caesar would speak in the authority of caesar jesus says i haven't found faith like this even among my own people what was he saying i need my people to understand who their head is i need my people to understand whose authority they are under i need my people to understand whose authority they operate in and i need my people to understand when they speak they're speaking not with their own authority but they're speaking with my authority that's why he tells us to speak the name of jesus understand whose authority we stand in who whose power we reside in who's who we've been deputized by to exhibit the authority and power of the one who is head over our lives so they pick it up in the philippian record in chapter 2 verse 5 and something amazing is happening he says let this mind be in you this is amazing to me it means i'm saved watch this now i have the mind of christ but it's possible i'm guilty of not letting that mind operate in my life that if i'm experiencing too many defeats if i'm experiencing some things that i don't know how to work him out i'm not letting his mind work he gives you what they call in the bible a sound mind a mind that can think through some difficulties a mind that is not fogged up by adversity a mind that can see clearly when others cannot see kind of let this mind be in you let this mind be established in you and it's the same mind which was in christ jesus amazing not just the same mind of jesus but the same mind of christ jesus the risen jesus the resurrected jesus that not only do i have a mind but i've got the resurrected mind of christ a mind that does not know what defeat feels like a mind that knows adversity but only knows overcoming adversity a mind that can go through things and come out much better than you've ever gone through before you need to understand he's giving you that kind of mind bible says he came in the form of god thought it not robbery to be equal with god watch how this works but he made himself of no reputation took upon the form of a servant watch this we've got it we've got to shift for being citizens in the kingdom to being servants in the kingdom i can be a citizen and not obey the laws but i've got to come unto my head and be a servant of jesus christ a servant of the will of god the bible says that jesus was made in the likeness of men to show us that this could be accomplished said being found in the fashion what did he have to do he humbled himself my mind he was not humble he had to bring himself under the authority of his father and he became obedient even in situations when obedience might get you in trouble he became obedient even to the death of the cross your bible says laying a foundation wherefore now watch how this works wherefore god has highly exalted him watch what happens now and given him a name which is above every name that this humility that this servant-mindedness gave jesus a name that far exceeded any other name of authority that it ever existed in the earth and what did he do by giving him this name that at the name of jesus every knee should bow angels bow before him cherubims and seraphims bow before him the saints bow before him everything in heaven that has a need to bow must bow my god my god things in the earth the demonic in their realm witches and demons in their realm sickness in your body is in the earth cancer diabetes is in the earth subject to that name you don't hear what i'm saying everything is subject to the name of jesus goes on to say that everything under the earth that's why the dead in christ will rise you didn't hear me he's got to respond to his voice and watch this here go here it is and that every tongue shall confess that jesus is lord you can't confess he's lord unless he is lord he can't work as lord unless he is your lord so when you speak his name it comes from your relationship and your faith in his name not so we can get glory so that god gets all of the glory somebody hung their horns out here we're going somewhere watch this turn with me to acts chapter 3. let me show you something acts chapter 3. now this is familiar we're going to go down to verse 6 so i want to show you where we're going verse 6 says then peter said silver and gold have i none watch this now but such as i have give id in the name of jesus christ of nazareth rise up and walk watch what happens took him by the right hand and lifted him and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength he spoke the name of jesus watch how important this is and he didn't stand back and watch it he moved in faith and grabbed the man and helped him up you're not getting this it's not enough to act like you to say you believe his name but you must conduct yourself like you just released power in your situation you've got to say his name and then move in his name faith without works or action is dead watch verse 16 and his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong whom you see and know yea the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all the supernatural is not an event the supernatural for you and i is a lifestyle now there are challenges to this lifestyle and one of the greatest challenges we have is our intellect sometimes we don't know when to cut off our genius and allow the mind of christ and faith to operate for us [Music] we talk our way out of a miracle when all we need is faith to experience the miracle somebody talk to me now watch watch this now the challenge is this i've taught you a while ago a couple months ago that the reality is that there has to be manifestation there has to be realization and the move of god is always measurable the move of god is always manifested the move of god is always realized and the move of god is always measurable something you see will tell you a difference has been made so the challenge for us is this go to chapter 4 in the book of acts i want to show you this be it known unto you verse 10 acts chapter 4 verse 10 be it known unto you all all the people of israel that by the name of jesus christ of nazareth who you crucify whom god raised from the dead that's powerful right there you crucified him but god got him up the enemy thought they defeated you but god got you up sickness thought he had you but god got you up the enemy thought they had you down knocked out walked over thrown away but god raised you up i wish i had some witnesses in here left you for dead but then god got in it says even by him dot this man stand here before you whole measurable difference so the challenge for us will always be our reason challenge for us just like them we don't see jesus for who he is before we decide to act against him watch how this works the bible says this is the stone which was said at not of you builders this is the stone which you didn't put much credit in which has become the head of the corner i need you to stop getting so jacked up if you think you're being overlooked i i need you to get this revelation it does not matter what people think it matters what god says about you and he says he that has begun a good work in you shall perform it in the end you need to hear me you're going to overcome you're going to win why because you believe in the name of the son of the living god somebody honk their horn watch how this works neither is there salvation neither is there deliverance in any other for there is none other name under heaven given watch this among men where why we must be saved could god almighty watch how this works so so watch this now so his name through faith in his name that name is the name of salvation now important that you understand salvation in the new testament the corresponding word in the old testament is deliverance so the deliverance in the old testament when you see that word is equal to the word salvation in the new testament so god saves you and delivers you and he delivers you and saves you in the power of his name and there is no other name that can do all that for you save you and deliver you at the same time i wish i had help here today [Music] now let's keep going go to verse 13. now when they saw the boldness of peter and john and perceived that they were unlearned an ignorant man they marveled and they took knowledge of them that they had been with jesus i don't know if you see the subtlety of this verse i'll read it again now when they saw the boldness of peter and john so they didn't expect them to be this bold because their perception was that based upon the system that they had been raised in they were unlearned they had not been taught by them and they were ignorant man they did not know what these others knew yet they marveled and they had to take notice of them well what was the difference they had been with jesus could god you mean to tell me you haven't realized yet on your job you may not have the technical expertise of some of your co-workers you may not have the experience and the opportunities that they have but you're walking around brilliant on your job because for no other reason you've been with jesus and you have his mind so you have kingdom wisdom so you can figure some stuff out so you can do what you need to do the bible says he'll make you witty he'll give your witty inventions you'll come up with ideas that a university can't give you why because you've been with jesus i wish i had help in here today watch how this works so the proof of the relationship is that you'll have brilliance in context that you have not been prepared for only got four hunks on that you'll know stuff that people don't expect you to know because you don't have an education in a specific field but the wisdom of the kingdom is now in you because you have the mind of christ child this works verse 14 and beholding the man which was healed watch this standing with them they could say nothing against it could god almighty the manifestation was so strong critics mouths were shut you better hear you better hear what i'm telling you some of you are in a corporate environment and you need to understand you're in a lion's den i got two hunks some of you need to understand the atmosphere that you're functioning in they may be your co-workers but they also may want to devour you because you don't look like a co-worker you look like a next meal to them but the bible says that god's going to shut the mouths of the lions in your environment i'm going to take care of those that plan on derailing your career i'm going to take care of those that think they can stop you they don't understand the blessing of god that he put on joshua is your blessing no man shall be able to get in your way and stop you no individual will ever have the power to stop what god wants to do in your life somebody honk for jesus watch out his works now now watch this i want to show you what conversations look like 15 but when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council they conferred among themselves together so they got out of their presence and they got a little pocket jamie and they start talking listen to what i'm telling you y'all need to hear me right now talking in your presence wait until you leave the room then have a conversation watch what happens now the bible says they conferred among themselves [Music] in other words they had a conspiracy going on now watch what it was saying what shall we do 16 what shall we do to these individuals for that indeed watch this a notable a notable miracle has been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in jerusalem and we your detractors cannot deny it y'all didn't hear what i said they may not admit it in your face but they're admitting it behind your back we can't do anything about him what can we do [Music] watch this now 17 but that is spread no further among the people let us straightly threaten them that they speak henceforth to no man in this name y'all didn't hear what i see if the enemy can stop your witness wherever you find yourself you've given the enemy the victory stop not saying your grace at lunch put your bible back on your desk you don't hear me if you don't have one on there get one and put it on there let people know where you stand let them know you read the supernatural it's time to trust god for your future here we go watch this now here comes the challenge 18 and they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of jesus could god almighty but peter and john answered and said unto them whether it be right in your sight of god whether it be right in the sight of god to hearken unto you more than unto god judge ye y'all figured out for we cannot but speak of the things which we have seen and we have heard. [Music] so testimony and witness based on relationship is personal that they were not teaching and preaching what they had heard not that only they were teaching and preaching what they had seen they saw him raise folk from the dead they saw him give sight to the blind they saw what he did and because of that they couldn't help but speak his name y'all didn't hear what i said the power of your witness stems in your faith in him your faith in jesus name but also your exposure to his works watch where we go now jump down to verse 29 i don't want to hold you too long and now lord behold their threatenings and grant unto thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word let's stop right there so so the the the job listen to me now confession speaking confession and decreeing are three parts of the same process if the enemy can stop you from speaking about jesus in your situations he can stop you from confessing the word of jesus if he can get you to stop confessing and speaking because speaking is based upon your relationship with the lord and confessing is based upon your agreement with the word of god so if he can stop you from exhibiting your relationship y'all hear me now and that happens in all of our environments where you're around some people they don't believe like you believe and you think it's all right to compromise who you are who is your head because you want to get along you haven't been saved to get along you got saved to take over where you are you're not anointed to go under your anointing to go over you're not anointed for one ever you're anointed for promotion after promotion after promotion after promotion because in christ there are no natural limits it's how this works so they threatened them and they said now lord grant unto that servant we need some boldness that we may speak that word in other words there will be situations where your reasoning may cause you to be reluctant to speak the word of god reluctant to apply your biblical principles to your situation how much time do i have so i remember when i had the privilege of serving as chair of lincoln university's board and and the former president before i took over who was a friend of mine was a preacher's kid and he was one of those bitter preachers kids who uh had been raised in the church and he had grown into uh an adult who who just almost hated the gospel so he was he was he was 300 and i don't know how many degrees you can say it but he was way far away from me when i took over as chair of the board and the temptation by many was to not offend him uh by bringing biblical principles to the operation of the university now you understand lincoln started out as a seminary yeah and through a succession of leadership they had moved so far from the spirit of being a seminary that it was almost unrecognizable but then they called your boy and elected your boy to be on the board so so i served on the board for for seven years and then seven years of every time i was asked a question i had a biblical principle as an answer well you know the word of god says we ought to do x y and z and i never was reluctant to do it so then they elected uh the preacher to be the channel boy so a couple of people came to me and said you know you got to kind of ease up on this biblical stuff i said well y'all don't feed me you're not gonna heal my body if i get sick you're not gonna be the one who raises me up when i fall down not no no i said i will give you this i won't make you turn in your bible but i will tell you where it is so so we begin the lead from a kingdom perspective and not coincidentally the university began to turn enrollment increased and people started working together and i do confess they did call me the grim reaper the first six months i do i do confess because some changes need to be made so we were not afraid to make the changes and some of the changes brought a whole lot of storms listen to me corporate people brought a whole lot of criticism because sometimes your decisions integrity is not revealed until later you got to be patient to wait for your decision to have integrity watch how this works so you cannot be ashamed no matter how long you've been waiting for the position no matter how well you served to deny the name of jesus in the way you behave and in the way you speak i'm not saying preach at your board meetings i am saying conduct yourself in such a way and speak in such a way that there's no way it's deniable that you belong to christ the christ is your head that god you have the mind of christ that you are a child of god watch this now we're almost done so you got to be bold that's my point i didn't say rude i said bold boldness has nothing to do with tone of voice boldness has everything to do with what you say and how you are how you maintain yourself boldness has to do with knowing how to disagree constructively and still getting the agenda that you desire accomplished in the company that you serve and i'm talking to you in here watch how this works so it goes down to verse 29 and 30 and he says he says by stretching forth thine hand to heal and that signs and wonders may be done here it is again by the name of thy holy child jesus so 29 says boldness to speak your word and by stretching forth your hand to heal god that signs and wonders may be done watch this by the name of that holy child jesus so speaking his name decreeing the word of god job 22 tells us when we decree a thing it shall be established on the earth it's time for you to begin to say what jesus said on your job in your house in your neighborhood in your business start to decree it i feel your holy ghost decree it so he can establish it in the earth so god can stretch out his hands and signs and wonders that are miserable may be performed in your midst somebody give god glory now watch the church verse 31 and when they had prayed the place was shaken where they were assembled together and they were all filled with the holy ghost and they spake the word of god with boldness and when they had prayed they didn't waste time praying what they were thinking they prayed the word of god they decreed the word so in agreement with god the word would be established in their situation the bible tells us that some of the guys were in prison and the bible says then the church went into prayer and the next thing you know angels came from heaven went into the jailhouse now walk past all the guards went into the jail cell loosed them from their bondage then said let's go walked out and the gates of the prison opened as they approached because the church was decreeing in prayer and angels came as a response to speaking the word of god and naming the name of jesus i wish i had help in here today it is in that name that you will see a manifestation is unprecedented in your life it is in that name where you will find yourself walking in an authority that you never thought possible because his name is the name that opens doors the name that causes a flow of the holy ghost his name the name of jesus opens blinded eyes speak his name speak his word give the anointing something to work with and watch god move in your life if you're going to confess anything confess his name because there is no other name under the heavens that is attached to deliverance today is the day that you begin with enthusiasm and boldness to bring his name into every situation that you're in today's the day that you speak his name to whatever's ill in your body speak his name to whatever is ill in your life that you address the problem with the name of jesus i wish i had some help out here today address the issue with the name of jesus speak to that mountain in his name speak to that cancer in his name speak in that lost child in his name say his name because everything that has a knee must bow must come under submission and must confess that he is he is lord he is lord he is above everything on earth everything in hell and everything that can bow in heaven hallelujah somebody [Music] hallelujah his name through faith in his name has made this man perfectly whole his name through faith in his name meaning you have faith in all that his name stands for faith that he is us sign and wonder revealer a miracle worker and he is your savior and your deliverer coming to an understanding [Music] that before one word he has uttered shall fail heaven and earth will pass away [Music] you need to understand the power and the authority that god has given you with your voice god begins to make a world demonstrates in chapter 1 of genesis from verse 1 through 25 he demonstrates how creative he is then we get to verse 26 and he says something amazing he said now let us make man in our image after our likeness let us give him the authority to speak in the name of jesus let us give him the authority operate like we do god has not only made you a human being but he's made you creative situations or not to your liking begin to speak watch what jesus did watch what the apostles did they spoke the name of jesus then they reached out for the
