"The Forgotten Years" T. F. Tenney BOTT 1987

our next speaker is no stranger to any of us there are people who can preach the Word of God with such a manner so as to bless the soul and lift the spirit challenged mine he is a young ministers friend without question in 18 years ago his counsel cleared the fog in my mind about my future and gave me direction we are so happy to bring to this pulpit District Superintendent of the great state of Louisiana and a great skilled minister of the Word of God as he comes to break the bread let's welcome and glorify Jesus for the Tom from Anthony you belong here you're third-generation all right G a you belong had a tremendous heritage the barns I remember your old day old time I beloved sweet life born and reared in this but you're looking at a stranger in the court special I was a grown young man before I ever heard before I ever heard this wonderful message that brother man can so Abele brought to us I'm a wild olive branch that was grafted in I'm one of those that was out there somebody had it cared enough to share it tell me that it was real that's been over 38 years ago and ever since that day I could sing I'm one of them I'm as much one of them is Anthony Mangan and GM Anakin and Tom boards I'm one of them by sophisticated and sent to my aristocratic mother that I had had a nervous breakdown undoubtedly they needed to get me to the finest doctor in the country they could not believe with my great-grandfather's name inscribed in marble in the courthouse as one of the founding fathers of our county or our parish I had so disgraced the family as to ever literally I literally crossed the track and fell in with the holy rulers it was something they said that was in that bottle that they put on no they wired those pews and when they wanted him to react they pushed a button I would to God it was that easy after the way they call heresy so worship I the God of my father's all things that are written in the Lord puzzle Oh Pentecostals there's thousands out there but a hundred for the front line yes hey tell you what this meeting is cut I was in prayer I have a saying open the windows of heaven open the windows of heaven and he spoke to me something I didn't even know he said not till the Fountains of the deep were broken and I immediately grabbed the Bible I was there pray Fountains of the deep and the first law of reference prevails in the study of the word you need to find a precept or a principal and go back to the first law of reference and you'll find a thread all the way through of what that means that's why you find the lamb you pull a thread on the lamb in Genesis and it it puckers in Revelation because it's all tied together well I went to the first law of reference to the seventh chapter of Genesis where except the windows of heaven open and the rain fell but it did not happen to God never noticed this before though I knew it was there until the Fountains of the deep were broken up and the Lord said you have been asking for the windows of heaven to be open but you've not broken the Fountains of the deep on earth and he said when my people will break up the Fountains of the deep in Earth he said then will I open the windows of heaven and as I have promised it's time to break up the Falla crown say I hear the sound of abundance ring but he said you've got to break up the bells of the D there's something in me and in new wells of living water it'd have to be broken some things are worthless when they're broken and other things are worthless until they're broken God give us a baptism of a non-judgmental love of Jesus now what I'm going to say spiritual speculation but God dropped it in my heart and confirmed it a couple of other witnesses and I want you to listen to me closely I may not be in my usual style then I maybe I'm a promising but I've got a message you'll judge if it was from the Lord or not Deuteronomy so good to see all of you welcome to Louisiana I love every one of you hello preachers God we become the pressure the last two or three years our families have been attacked there is a concerted diabolical attack on the families of the ministries today don't you lay your lip to your brother or to a member of his family unless it's in the mouth of two or three witnesses and a witness is not somebody that heard that somebody said that they sneeze ten years ago but a witness is somebody that saw it you get on a court of law I said what do you know about this well I heard so it's all I don't tell me what you heard so-and-so say what did you personally hear and what did you personally see that's a witness Deuteronomy 2 verses 13 and 14 deuteronomy 1 & 2 is a historical account of what had already transpired in the years of wandering principally recorded in numbers 21 Moses came down just before his death wrote Deuteronomy and in their opening chapters of Deuteronomy he said let me give you a little history and tell you where we been before I show you where we're going and he said this now rise up said I referring back to nearly 40 years ago and get you over the brook see red and we went over the brook see red and the space in which we came from Kadesh Barnea until we came to the brook see red was thirty and eight years until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the hosts as the Lord swear unto them the back one page to the first chapter of Deuteronomy verse 2 there are 11 days journey not 40 years about 38 years but 11 days journey from horrible by way of Mount Seir unto Kadesh Barnea and it came to pass in the fortieth year the 11th month the first day of a month the Moses taken of the children of Israel according to all the commandments the Lord had given him after he had slain sihon the king of amirite switch dwelt in heshbon and all the king a basin which dwelt in astra on this side Jordan in the land of Moab began Moses to declare the law saith the Lord our God speak unto us in Horeb saying he have dwelt long enough in this mount turn you and take your journey notice specifically verse 14 came to pass after 38 years until all the men of war were wasted out from among the hosts the doubters died not in the 40th year we've often said they wandered for forty years until all the doubters died but they were all dead by the 38th year well why didn't they go in why was it two more years and that's my subject this morning the forgotten two years the forgotten the promise was virtually fulfilled of all this generation will die in the 38th year but it was two more years before they went in I introduced you my brothers and sisters to the forgotten two years you may be seated now I'm not going to go into a lengthy exposition you know the story I read it to you from Deuteronomy one and two it took them thirty-eight years to have done and hear this what they could have done in eleven days from hora to Kadesh Barnea I read it he said eleven days but they were 38 years they came to K - one time ready to cross over but you know the story there was a majority report and a minority report and the Minority Report said we can do it we can do it we can do it we can do it the majority report said our pragmatic epistemology has shown us that the Giants that we beheld are much too ferocious and fearful and that the casualties will be too great and we have run this through our computer and decided it can't be done so the Lord said all right just wander out there for 40 years and after 38 years they came back and Moses went over the whole thing again and then they entered into two of the most significant years in their history during this two-year period so near canons land so near the promised land they won some of the greatest victory Moses reached the apex of his power and his glory and his leadership during these two years I believe and as I will try to show you from God's Word that we are living now in a strategic two-year period that began on may the 14th of last year we are two years away from Israel's 40th anniversary as a nation we are living in the 38th year it's a time when Kings go to war and too many of God's people want to be civilians it's a time when we talk about being dressed in the whole armor of God but nobody is reporting for duty it's a time when the Spirit is saying total mobilization there's something in the embryonic stages I feel it the last few years have been traumatic we've been attacked I stand before you to confess I've been to hell and back the last three years God has personally it prepared me for something that's just now unfolding in my ministry can i I discover that it's been happening in your lives and in other lives we've had periods of despondency and periods of depressions of at times when we wondered if it was worth it all but all of a sudden something is beginning to unfold and we're entering into a dimension of glory I know since the days of the Apostles 38 here they were living on the brink of a breakthrough not quite there they were practicing in that 38th and 39th year what we call God's brinkmanship so close and we touch it every now and then but we're so close and we're fighting battles but they're intensified but the victories are intensifying and we look back and understand we understand the big whack in the maneuvers that we've been through were to prepare us but what is just ahead of us it took them the last two years to get the breakthrough that preceded their entering in Israel was born may the 14th 1948 a nation was born in a day he said this generation shall not pass away though certain things happen a generation is if they outset 40 years something's going to happen in this 40-year period something's going to happen in the nearer you get to the end of it the battle is going to intensify even some of your Moses are going to have to wonder where are we but brother Denny what does that mean to the church brother man here's where you help me years ago you told me something 20 years ago at home and it was lodged I never could get it out of a spiritual teeth a pic donut dental floss tit and everything else it kept coming back 1948 1948 remember the other day I asked you guys to tell me what you told me years ago about the significance of 1948 and you said oh that's the year that it broke out that's the year that it broke up and Gary in the air that's the year that revivals broke out in many of our churches and we said it was because the Jews had been established as a nation I just read brother Kenzie's book he told about the year 1947 when he got so discouraged he was ready to hang it up and go back to work but he went home at the end of 47 and went on a fast in plymouth indiana asking God for direction he came to the little town of the Ritter in early 1948 brother George blast pastor of that great church said brother Kinzie I'm about ready to resign we haven't had anybody get the Holy Ghost here in 15 months and if something doesn't break in this revival I'm gonna resign by the Kinzie said I didn't know he was feeling like that he said I found so many of God's people feeling something's got to give and in that year my friend all heaven broke loose in this part of the country and across our fellowship and we have some of the greatest revivals in 48 49 and 50 hey I'm a graduate of that revival during that time the scores of preachers were born into the kingdom of God some of my greater in the kingdom today came out of that period of revival began in 1948 when Israel became a nation he said when the sands of the seashore my earthly blessing begin to move then you start counting the stars of the sky because something is going to happen in the heavenlies account Brown was founded in 47 launched the full orbit in 48 since 1948 we've had a 300% growth in Louisiana our organization in 1948 had a thousand churches we've had over a 300 percent growth as National Organization we have grown over 1,000% on the farm field did you hear brother ocean say he had no idea what I was going to preach but in the year 1988 we will reach the year of 2000 in the Jewish calendar we're only two years halleluja away from the Jewish calendar year of 2000 there is something significant happening in the body of Christ as parallel inna God's a history with Israel in 1948 the so-called latter rain broke out now many of you younger folks don't remember that nearly many old-timers told me and looking back brother tinny the latter rain was a valid move of the Spirit to restore the gifts and power to the church but it got in the hands of men with wrong motives and manipulators and they told me a real move of a spirit was perverted and aborted he said in those days we were crying for a restoration for the gifts of the Spirit we were crying for a sovereign move of God we came right to the brink 38 years ago in 1948 we came to Kadesh Barnea and there I not believe that God in any generation has called enough people to reach that generation miss God's perfect will for Israel to have gone in and possessed their restoration 38 years ago and in 11 days they could have done it I'm speculating now but could God have had a plan 38 years ago but for some reason it didn't quite make it now don't misunderstand me I just said there was great blessings in that 28 years at 38 years God sent him back tested tried taught blessed hear what brother stone King said yesterday he said in the last year I've had a breakthrough in my ministry and had more miracles than I've seen in all the rest when did it start brother stone King it started over 38 year you heard the man say that yes they said I don't understand it in the last year you heard what brother earth said same thing that something has happened now we haven't quite made the last breakthrough into caimans land the promised land but we're fighting the battles of the last two years of Israel before they did and I believe we're about to break forth into something that's going to usher us into the Promised Land a full restoration blinded eyes are going to be open what we saw yesterday was just an earnest of the inheritance that God had I believe they're coming out of the wheelchairs not to the glory of man but to the exaltation of the Lamb of God I believe that people are going to come not because of any media of advertising but because they hear that God is in that place and miracles are taking place and let's go see and once they get here we can point them to the Lamb of God I'm coming down we're on the brink of a breakthrough I don't want to do like a killer love Israel and come right to the powder and hear the report of the spies that came back and said it's there it's there in this meaning we've had prophetic utterances from spiritual spies that went ahead of us in the Holy Ghost and said something's coming now Holy Ghost antennas tell me something special that he promised him it was a land of giants he said that's what I won't give you and I don't want anything to abort us in 1948 and I was born into the kingdom in that era we overreacted you heard another brother yesterday stand the pulpit talk about what happened in 48 we overreacted to the gifts of the Spirit and because spurious false prophets rose up that manipulated them brother Kilgore you know I'm telling you the truth we backed off and we went through a dearth I live through it of years that tongues and interpretation was a rare thing not the norm and if you stood up and prophesied like we've done in the last few years the first thing they said about you was that Iran there got ahold of us and what we could have done in 11 days God said there's some concepts in you I won't send you back to the wilderness to those concepts thank you again my voices screamed out from the heavens for you to hear the reason with me sayeth the Lord my word has been an open book lays before you and to gather dust or what an MMA fight will you receive from it the living fire or when you go to a place with a fire river bid run it's up to you try remember God changes not you my boy draw near to me and I will draw are we going to a place where a dry riverbed was remember that could it be that we were here 38 years ago could it be that somebody came back that got a little spiritual inspired in the land and said there's too many Giants too many misuse too many excesses better back off too much the majority said we can't do it but even in those days see I've known my mannequins since 49 Darrell Mangan was a Joshua and Caleb we can do it we can do it we can do it that force never died never died but I read to you from the first chapter of Deuteronomy he said we departed from her and went through all that great and terrible wilderness 38 years it wasn't God's intention for them to do that finally in verse 19 we came he said this is a game to Kadesh Barnea the crossing point but we did not go in we almost made it we have more to say about God's timetable than you think as I've often said in reference to the rapture the bride sets the wedding date he said when this gospel of the kingdom is preached that's the bride's responsibility then shall be income doing one then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by where the Red Sea encompassed Mount Seir many days same old path same old people same old services internal reproduction yes but no conquest like God had promised us before we left no this three ways a church grows biologically that's by births within the church transfers in our evangelism how much of our real growth is eventually so heavy well this guy and / guru in the 38th year we're standing at Kadesh Barnea and God has been with us all these 38 years water came out of the wrong manner came down from heaven keep protecting us pillars all day and fire and we've been blessed and we play as God fine but this is no day for us to rest on our walls we're about to enter him to the last day apostolic dimension let's go to usher in the coming of the Lord and hear me blind you're gonna see and the lame is gonna leave like a heart and the poor are gonna have the gospel preacher we met renewal personal a plan for restoration collectively and then bears come into a revival they'll shake this either from sinner there's a conference and we're at Kadesh Barnea in Alexandria yes God's taking care of us yes it said we like nothing these thirteen years but you ain't seen nothing yet as to what God has in his divine mind feed your faith and not your fears we have been brought to the kingdom for such a time as this let me tell you something else Moses fought his greatest battles noses that is most power in those two years another man go you ain't seen nothing in your ministry yeah old Moses hang in there the next two years are gonna be the greatest years

wasted those that doubted our dead men that fought and said we will never meet you hold on to the end you know they gonna get fewer and purer bless caught you better yeah we got ahold of Hort mentality I don't even like that song hold the fort for I'm coming Jesus signal still Oh God by thy grace if I don't backslide a few of us will this is no day to hold the fort this is the time to come over the walls and charge and go fire and she go right so the eyes upon this rock I'll build my church it's time for the church to go on the offensive and get out of our negative mentality we can do it we can do it we can't do it we can't do it we can't do it we can't do it we can't do it we can't do it because of the eternal promises of Almighty God we're in the 38th year some fierce battles but wonderful victories in the next two years sit down we're more than able more than able thank God barb you Tom Barnes he's 38 years j-man are these 38 years pops again they just kept saying we can do it we can do it we didn't do it we can go in had some tough battle sure but we can do it by His grace now look that's easy belt going down to verse 14 there chapter 2 came to the brook they read and see red means the valley of pruning that's the first place they went last two year period there were many willow trees there and they had to be pruned some of our Willis spirits gonna have to be pruned off of us some of our droopy spirituai was in a willow tree that's what say red means the place of pruning I'm please forgive me for personal different but I have never in 38 years of history and prune I have been pruned lately let's go-come some pruning we're in the valley of pruning some of you sitting here so frustrated you've lost members lately and you're blaming yourself well if it's your fault fix it but if it's just that you've come to the valley of pruning and that there's some old droopy spirits that had to slush off that's the first place they went in the last two year period and it was tough but they had to go first place verse 24 he said rise up take your journey and pass over the river arnon and that means rocky torrent Arnon was a river small river but it was in an enormous trench on a plateau of Moab 1,700 feet deep and it was 2 miles from one edge of the valley to the other to the other cliff and at the bottom it was only 40 yards wide and many of us have come to the river of or not and were standing or precipice and it looks so far across to the other side and we decided to make the journey but when we got down to the bottom was between two and five million people and only 40 yards got close fellowship the fighting got close constricted they were wedged in first it was just open vacancy of my god and then suddenly gets narrower and narrower and that was the only way to go to going out the bottom to find a rocky torrent some of you have been in the most constricted places in the last few months tight brother man good don't ever think God's gonna let you fellas get away rather the devil's will let you get away unscathed brother Barnes whatever God tells you tonight you tell us we we need fearless men even if it crossed swords with me we claim we're so tough but you let somebody get on our little spiritual toy and we want to pick up our dolls and go home we're in a constricted place and there's a lot of us but they had to go across it was the deepest Valley of the two-year period and they had to go down hit it I got me just been pruned and now you brought us to a deep valley and you're talking about let me tell you something we've got to see ourselves as a threat to the devil's Kingdom before he ever sees us as one if you don't think you're a threat to the devil's if you're mamsi Pam's a spiritual then forget it because if the devil's not afraid of you he can go off and and Tom it's someone else do you know you're a threat to the devil's Kingdom you can't be intimidated this is no time for pity parties you've got to get an image of self victory and say self you're the biggest threat Lucifer's got in this city I'm going to tear your kingdom down get an image of yourself as a threat to the devil's Kingdom turn around shake hands with somebody and say you're a threat to the devil's Kingdom do it right now do it up in the balcony you're a threat to the devil's Kingdom the devil's more afraid of you than anybody else in town hallelujah The Devil's afraid to let you get home he's partly planning the car rent to kill you before you get home but God's gonna send the angels before to protect you hey I diabolical Graham just went to hell and sit for another battalion of demons up because something is about to get turned down in because of the times shut up they came out of that Bella and then verse 24 they meant old shot hard hammer our King Zion means great or bold so many bull Kings come out you hadn't got it Oh mr. Martin and mr. Ankerberg you're a cold you ain't seen nothing yet bow Kings not with indicative self-righteousness but with a sword misprinted Oh Oh scion which meant great and boo was the king of Heshbon mahesuan means strong who'd had a bad background weapons of our warfare are not carnal but they're mighty through God we're going to Hesh Minor which means strong who and there's some bold kings that's holding some hedge funds and we're going to pull down some strongholds now hold you see that same city of Heshbon became in the new order a Levitical city where the priests loyalty and he turned a stronghold of a bull king into a city of ministers you know what I'm expecting to happen some of these spiritual religious strongholds I am expecting God to pour out the Holy Ghost in some of them give the revelation of the name of Jesus not all of them and I am expecting them to become Levitical cities within the next two years Paul King bone and money you rule long enough and we know that's a stronghold but Satan's Kingdom is gonna come down we've got to get ready for the day for the knowledge of the glory of God shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea but in the 38th year wrong house we practice TSP and preach steam shovel we preach the cream and practice skill Milka time for us takes on the strongest one of our brothers came up to me about 18 months ago and said brent any i don't know what you're gonna do with me but i'm pastoring a baptist church i said there god what happened he said well they got without a past and one of their members had got saved in my church and said well why don't y'all let my past to come down on all flights and creature it has nothing they didn't come he said they got the liking me so well till they move their services to Sunday afternoon and said I've been going up a sunny afternoon passing that Baptist Church I said yet what's happened he said well so far said I prayed 26 of them through the Holy Ghost and I baptized 23 of them Jesus name truffles we don't turn you old hedge fund into a Levitical city he said you know what that another night said I call for a prayer line they didn't know what that was said I went to prayin for him said once those sisters fell out in the spirit said they don't want an old floor so I had set a thing doom but said when they got up said they started taking off their ear screws and started taking off their necklaces and said I had set a thing to a better strongholds strongholds strongholds that's the kind of revivals that we're going to see in the next two years and then we ain't see nothing we're going to go into that Promised Land a full restoration I refuse to preach anything with the harvest of God can be strong those amenities that are going to be turned in the cities of God can I keep a preaching sit down they fought their way there and after stuck some strongholds all the way to J Bock part of Asia find in the 21st chapter of Deuteronomy Tsar rather numbers as I said it's a reiteration in 1/2 of Deuteronomy chamber that's where Jacob wrestled with an order it means rising and fluid just before they really got with it the children of Israel had to come to a rising and affluent together not a fragmentation into many tribes they all had their tribal identity but the greatest ego would be for me to think that I've got to make everybody just like me there are some preachers that don't believe it's smokeless it comes out of their stack and what they say is thus saith the Lord as they preach their prejudice is really thus saying me if it's in the book preach it and you can have personal convictions Paul said you could said if you need me to eat at home don't make a big fuss about it if you can't eat meat you better not eat it it's in one man can do it one man can't explain that brother thing that Katy don't blame me blame Paul he said it we don't preach on that much we don't preach on the liberty of Romans 14 too much because you people get to read everything you know we can read a TV and anything a man says he can say the moons made of green cheese says see there he's thinking about satellites bouncing off the moon I knew he was going I'm glad that I am NOT a sermon taster I don't take a pair of tweezers good seeing what I'm picked will overlook a thousand things a man does right and hang up on one thing we got a good brother that some material didn't come out right that he printed and we've got brethren from the east to the west that have been slammed in that man that never picked up a phone and called him and said brother would you explain yourself that is not New Testament Christianity well but then he was wrong so what did you call him as a brother or did you get on the phone and gossip call him a compromiser do a thousand things right bless hundreds of thousands of people but Baal we've been watching we always suspected there's got to come a rising and affluent together or we can wonder for another 40 years we can have such great praise for ourselves but a disdain for anything that happens outside our company you're looking at a preacher that's going out of the judgment business God has worked my mother over now I'm not talking about the great truths of God I believe everything in our articles of faith but if anything is not in our articles of faith you say this is a personal conviction and don't try to impose your prejudice throw me and call it holiness some of you fellas do some things I don't like if I could find one verse of scripture to preach against eating liver I'd give a whole Bible lesson on it I don't like to miss and I'm here to tell you I don't believe in liver I can't stand it who ever heard of eating the internal organs of a dead cow and chewing up her bile ducts my god you won't split hell wide open not that serious I feel like we're about it but I got to be honest enough to tell you that's a personal conviction I came up partially under oh by the intrusion you know what he preached against huntin he said every hunter in the Bible was a bad man he said they had a killing spirit and he talked about he saw and he talked about Nimrod the old man preached against hunting you talk about old time tentacles well I feel like Jesus they walked with him no more old Augustine said it best in the third century when he said ascent in essentials let us have unity and non essentials let us have Liberty but in all things let us have charity I you know I refuse to be a new rowdy I heard about a man the other day that never could go to a football game because he said every time he looked out there they were huddling he thought they were talking about him I'm not going to live like that judging my brother if a but you all get together after this is over if I must say they're talking about what a great sermon that wah I may as well say that because I don't want know the truth but we're in a two-year period that's going to be significant to this movement and there's got to come a rising and a flowing together thank you brother Kilgore for talking about the unity in our diversity unity is not uniformity and I'm glad it's not if I agree with the brother on 95 percent I'm gonna fellowship him on the 95 percent and pray for him on the five percent brother Tenny he doesn't agree with you that's all right it's his right to be wrong I refuse to accept labels I've repented over them I've done my Sheriff we've got a lot of sloganeering today he's a liberal he's a conservative he's a Pharisee he don't believe that meats grazie we need to cast out the handmaiden that gives birth to that kind of bondage and quit labeling one another I asked a man the other day is complaining about another brother said he's looking stirring her down I said well if you bring to talk to him and share your concern now I ain't saying a word to him but it didn't mind gossiping to him about me that is not New Testament Christianity now you're looking at a thoroughbred apostolic Pentecostal whole yard or wax John 3:5 acts 2:38 SEC demands born of the water and spare change see the kingdom of God forget it that's it brother man that's right I don't know no other way Peter said repent be baptized they said men and brethren what must we do and that's the same question men are asking today what must we do if you're not going to change the question don't change the answer same question same answer I'm sold on it one is a God Jesus is holy slowly fully absolutely completely God he's Alpha me go the beginning the end the first and last norther God beside him not one third of God not a demigod not a mini God He is God you better believe it brother Hart now brother Huntley he's not Joe but junior one sister came to our churches and they saying it's all in him it's all in him wonderful counselor mighty God the preacher got up preached on John 1 and 1 in the beginning was the word the Word was with God and an old sister that she brought with us a guest plunger said honey said I got it said you folks at this church believe Jesus is the whole cheese Jilla Pike said not only do we believe these the whole cheese we believe he's the box what the cheese come in hallelujah it's all and he'll appreciate Jesus is Lord Brigid without holiness no man shall see the Lord preach it holiness externally holiness internally holiness eternally pre-check long-hair on women whole bar wax up leaving I tell our folks sure know what my personal standards are far as women's concern look at my life this beautiful sweet darling the slave with me 37 meters look at her she can sit on her hair look at decent that's what I believe I don't just preach it tastes something else I didn't go off I preach conferences account means fears and preach things at conferences and camps to get folks to shout that I didn't preach in my home church some people are like this Chameli and the lizard said their lizard ran across a piece of scotch plant and said blew up trying to relate himself to ever color at the same time they don't know what they are whoever they're with any dog with them hunt with them they're a pig or a pup you just whatever bunch they were I don't like that I like this GA men conspiracy Lauren I gotta get out of the way get run over something I'd like to go back to man ten years from now I told somebody the other deaths and I had moved in 38 years of preaching had moved I said sometimes I wonder if they move the road but I had moved then they went on in the net King Ark king of Bashan I don't have time to go into that but it means fruitful giant a land a fruitful giant after they got together and started flowing together a Jayhawk has got to come brethren a unity in our diversity now we got to get off this negative junk of shooting at one another over things that don't amount to a hill of frostbitten Kentucky wonder bands I wasn't gonna say this but some folks are so afraid of climbing out on a limb till they won't even get up on the tree something greatly disturbed me at our last general conference we had a big business session and I was there there was 1900 preachers debating an issue that should have been debated hear me I was glad that's the way we handle things in an Apostolic Church glad for the open forum our general superintendent at a marvelous job but on Sunday when we talked about the main thing of world of angela's ation there wasn't one third that many preachers so what brother ten evil regardless of what he says to me what did it say to God brother sysm brother Road and bush begging and pleading brethren the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing and the main thing is that our Christ walked a star-studded step to a barnyard and Bethlehem and went all the way through a place called Calvary and said I've come to seek and to save that which is lost that's the main thing and the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing someone reminded me of a story I read years ago they were talking about the other day about the old Indian Tuscumbia if you've studied Indian history he was a great chief in the northern plains when the white man first started getting prominent tus Kumbha tried to rally all the tribes of the Indians to drive the white men off the continent and at that time they were strong enough to do it but he could not rally him and as he got to be an old man they queried him and questioned him and said why why didn't you do it he said because our tribes were caught up in the shadows of secondary battles and they overlooked the main thing they were fragmented by tribal rivalries and jealousies and they let the only opportunity that they ever had to keep their land pass because they stayed in their tribes and said we're not going to rally around one cause the main thing ladies and gentlemen is to keep the main thing the main thing you know what call me wild if you won't do I was born in the fire I will wilt in the Sun but there's some odds king of Batian out there's some fruitful Giants and I've shot at up and I'll probably shoot at him again they aggravate the living daylights out of you but if you would have asked the early church who is your number one enemy in religious circles or a church with quivering woulda said soul of porcius who brother he claims be religious but he means a junkyard dog he fights us he calls us heretics he calls us a call to set that's what they call him a sect of the Nazarene that mean occult this ain't new to be called a cult that ain't new you know what I'm praying farther some of these religious Sol's of tortious say that Saul of Tarsus got sacked and if one of these fellows ever get sacked and they look up and say Lord who art thou they don't hear the same thing at Saul of Tarsus who you read in Deuteronomy 1 and 2 is only a rehearsal as I said go back and read all 12 then they came to Jay's er which means fortified it was noted for its wine a fortified city of wines and there's some folks that all they got behind their state cathedrals is a little wine and God's gonna send us to some of these wine bins with a message of the name there are some fortified cities that have been fortified against this truth throughout this century they got the wine but that's not enough and gods won't take us to some of these cities of Jays our God is opening doors for our preachers to preach today in places that we never dreamed would be open and we've got some drugstore Cowboys and Monday morning quarterbacks sitting in the bleachers keeping score but there's some fearless men you see that are gonna rise and understand that if something pleases God it doesn't matter who it displeases and if it displeases God it doesn't matter who it pleases that's apostolic diversity that's not that Rams am little mu you use a Mizzou yeah say it again I don't guess a sister mascara you but anyhow that's what it is you see people aren't changed by three hems four points in a poem that change for the word of God and hear me there is already coming among us and it's going to be intensified a restoration of real worship not noise but worship and adoration of the lordship of Jesus turn to numbers 21 brother Mike this is the story of what he's reiterating in one and two of Deuteronomy go to verse 16 and through 18 that's the next place they wind and from fence they went to me here they went to bear that is the well wear of the Lord speaking to Moses now there means artificial well you see they had to go back to that well but because before we can go in you got to learn to sing like they're saying when they came out at Exodus 15 there's got to come a restoration of joy and they came to beer which meant artificial well and renal gather the people together the people off their outward unit to get the people together in worship and I will limit the work when we come together there's one thing we ought to be unified on and that's worship and you've heard me say this before that our thoughts will divide us but our who will unite us if I ask you what you believe you may say I believe premillennial I believe post-millennial I believe mid millennial I believe this I believe that but if I say in who do you trust what are you going to say what are you going to say we unite around the lordship of Jesus and the proclamation of the good news let me speak them they got together in worship get them together in worship if you get people together in worship there's a lot of things that arise and flow out read gather the people together and I will give them water I'll give a lot then Israel sang this song he sang this song ring up oh well bring up a well you up to a head of princes dig of the West and set the nobles a job those are the people dig a direction of the law giver with their stage not Nobles of the people the princes the leaders had to get old-fashioned streams and go to deed well you know what I like I like to see the nobles and the princes worshiping if there's anything I can't stand it's a preacher sitting on a platform like a replica of Mount Rushmore not digging for that service he said if you ever get past this artificial well the nobles and the princes and the printers gonna have to dig deep dig dig there's water down there there's an artesian well down there it used to flow in the time of Abraham and it's you dig it'll start flowing again I'm tired of being a cheerleader somebody's an act like Pentecostals that's how probable we've acted long enough one good st. said could tell me how to act lead me to Jesus in worship and I'll respond to him dig dig dig dig come on vicious Bush worship worship there's an artesian well to break loose in yourself shut up Jesus never told you not to be great he told you how to be great said if any man any man will be great let him be servant he didn't say don't be great said you're gonna be great if you'll be a servant it's not how many servants a man has but how many he serves we gotta have a servant's heart Jesus exemplified this let me tell you how I'm tired of the artificial I'm tired of being a decal that can be scratched off when I'm supposed to be a brand HTM I'm tired of preaching chandelier we practice at night light I'm tired of preaching cream practising skim milk I'm tired of preaching cannon and practicing pop god I'm tired of preaching Rivers in practicing creeks I'm tired of preaching Eagles and practicing sparrows I'm tired of being content with a CEM with a candle when I had name seen the sunlight I'm tired of being a slow-moving Millstream when I'm supposed to be a Niagara I'm tired he said you gather the people together and you let them start singing together and you let the nobles and the princes get involved and let them sing what a crazy song spring up oh well sing you unto it single well yes keep it big in its artesian but it's not gonna flow to the nobles and the princes have a restoration of worship we're singing at the wellhead that water or no water he said keep us singing there wasn't any water then he just said gather the people and sing and dig and singing dig it's there just like it was in the days of your forefathers same spring up all there hey let's sing that spring up do it again spring do it again whoa Oh beautiful spring up again now I want you to come up with it it's free it's time for the nobles and the princess to get back to digging in worship the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing we come to church we don't come to lock swords we come to Lockhart's sit down I'm trying to get through the forgotten two years in a two-year period that has the ability to change the history of our church Moses sent out some more spies and we need to do the same thing we need to be sending our spiritual spies I think not for people that have a diverse ministry so I said well Jim yours praise it down after that boy rants them bunch of dope heads I'm glad God called Jim Yowie to a unique ministry one of them bunch of drunks don't run Fred hide crazy I'm glad God called him to a unique ministry that God didn't call me but let God call somebody I'm glad for a stand watch debtor its apostolic liaison to Washington he walks the halls Congress witnessing to congressman senator Ryan nobody ever wants it that's why you feel you know the man that said I'm not going to have a revival in the man that said I am going to have revival or both right there were Saints in Caesars house who we need Saints in the White House but don't you my friend we have got to take the limit off the atonement I say that again take the limits off the atonement what category as people some people are down and out and others are up and out sure there's always casualties do you know in that two-year period when Balaam arose in that two-year period twenty three thousand of them back before the plate would stay but what's twenty three thousand to five million but we can hop on 23 vowed didn't make it look he went that way look what at Michael Anthony I don't want to hurt your feelings do you know what somebody told me about this meeting said that meeting is a meeting of a bunch of liberal charismatic I've never seen a group of people that love this message any more than you love it I've never seen more godly looking women and godly looking men in all my life I've never seen men that believed any more in the lordship of Jesus that could preach any biblically straight her own without holiness no man shall see the loud I'll tell you what we're for we're for revival the revival revival there may have been a few casualties but we're in a war say those those guys that we'll talk about there a Shaw's they're skilled hunters that's hunting for things to destroy the truth eight Jacobs no7 I'm glad shut down some people scenario they fell on one straight then they put both eyes out you know why they say that this meeting liberal don't you because you're my district superintendent now you shouldn't I had signed your fellowship card this year yet young man and you know if you don't have a UPC fellowship card in your pockets you can't go to heaven I'm sorry that ain't right I'd hopefully if Peters gonna check UPC fellowship cards at the pearly gates it's just going to be have you been born again do you love Jesus then you'll have a carton of the word I don't care what you call yourself UPC pay W X Y Z LM in Oh UPT X Y Z doesn't make any difference do you love Jesus are you born again having water baptized in that syndrome it name do you love the truth are you rapture Etta sit down you know what I am look at me I'll tell you what I am I'm a conservative I'm a liberal and I'm a militant I'm a conservative because I believe the Bible from cover to cover I believe the iron did swim and the donkey did talk I believe God said what he meant meant what he said I believe there's only one goddess named Jesus I'm a conservative I believe people on a flight walk right dress right strip white I'm a conservative but I'm a liberal because the Bible said the Lord loves a liberal sue and take my coat I'll give you my cloak made me go a mile I'll go to I'm a liberal and I'm a militant because I believe in hitting the devil first don't sit down wait'll he hit you Chuck you know what our trouble is we're like Popo in the funny papers he said we have met the enemy and he is us 38th year the word of the Lord told him to rise up and pass over sure there's gonna be casualties in the passing over let me tell you something the 15th chapter judges the only time that Sampson was successfully found before he went to Delilah's barbershop his brethren the sons of Judah did it he was at the height of his ministry standing on top of a rocket a tail and his brethren came and his brother and said you're going too far you got to finish Stein stir it up you're causing trouble in the camp now we elders have gotten together and we've decided that we're going to talk to you will you please meet the Louisiana Board on March the 17th 10 o'clock a.m. brother Kenny won't see you I'll talk about me that's what y'all are thinking anyhow so Sampson up on a rock the apec to his minister he came down what is it brethren he said we gonna tie you up and his brothers bound him peer pressure he said ok at that time they started running through a troop of Phyllis time they said yeah I got it but that got those bonds kicked man of Judas or the right the left charged into the Philistine and then is when he slew a thousand of them he said nothing is gonna bind me now many things will be read into that so I won't comment because there's no way I can back out of it but we need to loose our brother not not to compromise compromise is when you change your principle wisdom is you change a message method your method don't change your message I want to be old time Pentecost I mean sky blue blood red gun barrel straight heaven high hell Hawk send black salvation free what I would be but also although I'm anchored to the rock I want to be geared to the times the sons of Issachar had understanding of their times and knew what Israel ought to do I brethren we're in the 38th year the Lord said rise and start over and in verse 25 of Deuteronomy - if you got that brother Mike read that I'm gonna be through hearing a little bit this day will I began to put the dread of now the day that you rise and flow together the day that you start digging with staves and get back to worship then that day I'm going to go ahead of you before you ever get home and start putting the fear and dread of you read on and the fear of the upon the nations that are under the whole heaven who shall hear report of thee and shall tremble and be in anguish because of now there's some reports don't go out from this meeting God's going to send angels and I tell you this in the Holy Ghost that are going to precede you going home and when you get back you can find people trembling when you stand in the pulpit your people are going to say what happened to you I tell you that in the Holy Ghost I didn't happen for two more years before they got he told him in 2 and 5 of deuteronomy said don't meddle with other people's land quit fussing quit meddling if they challenge you i'll give you power don't get out there fussing with everybody who are you Paul said that you judge another man's servant James 4 and 11 said if you judge your brother you judge the law can't understand people one rumor through three miles and declare it's the Word of God we're going down we're going down whoo clam it together peppers of the doom doc drop a clawback loom good we're going down we going down I got good news you know what the good news is the bad news is wrong we're going straight ahead without compromise with this beautiful truth and God's going to put the fear of us if we ever get together on ever campout that if you ever heard of those ups that's what they call us out there in that circle you know what they call us the ups you better believe the ups we going up now in 1948 a fear of the gifts of the Spirit kept us from moving in to a dimension 38 years later later will it be a spirit of divisiveness or will it be that we're going to keep the main thing the main thing and honor unity and our diversity this was the age of bail these two years in his strange balaam was a prophet and his mule was more tuned into the supernatural than the man of God was the mule saw the supernatural and the prophet misty God he couldn't curse what God was a blessed he tried to the only thing that's clear bring this world to light doorsteps is a return to a powerful and primitive New Testament Christianity we have got to put the supernatural back in now let me fashion you seatbelt an angel with a strong sword met Balaam that was a warrior angel angels had not been mentioned except referring back to what they did in the 38 year period the last angel we hear mentioned was the one that led them out of Egypt but he said this in Exodus 33 and 2 I'm going to send the angels to drive out the enemy before you now that angel who was a warrior angel with a drawn sword there was a reappearance of angels in the last two years they haven't seen him for 38 years just rare occasions but there came a prominence of the Ministry of angels but that warrior angel had to leave Canaan where he was sent to start driving out the amorite parasites getting them mentally fearful of the Israelites getting them defeated in their mind before the Israelites ever got there he had to leave that battle to come take care of a negative preacher he was a warrior angel not sent to war the prophets but God said I'm sending him before you to Canaan's land but he had to leave and come back on his side the river because some crazy preacher got off the track and we don't have some get off the track they gonna get on some mules but there is going to be a reappearance of warrior angels some of you people are going to have direct visitations in the next two years of angels and if you don't see them you're going to feel we've got to promise brother Barnes thank you for teaching me that angels don't die other Barnes just said that in conversation when they says no but any angels don't die and that got to eating only angels don't die they don't time the angel that opened up the Red Sea is still alive you feel like you're in a storm haven't seen the Sun for 14 days the angel that found Paul in the midst of a storm is alive you feel like you're in a fiery furnace the fiery furnace angel is still alive somewhere you feel like you're locked in a prison the angel that came to Peter in the prison that night is still alive you got loved ones that are lost the angel that with the Sodom and Gomorrah and got lot out is alive and the angels are ministering spirits it to minister to the heirs you can ask God send that angel Lord I'm in a battle send a warrior angel having a storm send a storm angel having a fiery furnace in the fiery furnace angel I'm telling you there's still air clap your hands to the Lord the Angels the Warner Angels with drawn swords yes give me about five minutes it's not for preachers to preach to preach one sweet platitudes pompous power from polluted podiums eh bring your thoughts into captivity we got to where all we want is sermon ants twenty-four thousand died don't get hung up on the casualties the main things to keep the main thing the main thing but any blah blah blah listen Adams not the last man that had a snake in his garden one's gonna get yours Evan and then there's going to come a separate and time we're in the valley of the prune and right now but Moses that great leader and in thirty four and seven of Deuteronomy it's in his eyes and not be any strength if not abated they couldn't stay in his dust GA manga greatest warrior years of his life time now four and twenty four Deuteronomy Moses said the Lord you have begun to show your servant your greatness in that two-year period is that this is just beginning and in verse 25 he said I pray thee there's got to be an inauguration of understanding that this is the beginning of a fresh work of God then in verse 25 let let us pray thee to go over there's got to be a return to accelerated prayer and worship it's got to be in verse 28 he charged Joshua he encouraged to he strengthened him there has got to come a charge to our young preachers and direction I'm trying to give you direction some of you been confused the last few months the last couple of years you wondered I'm here to tell you we're in the 38th year and and the Holy Ghost were fixing to break through into son we're going to have some great battles in the next year and a half before we reach the fortieth year but we're getting to cross into the Canaan's land a full restoration that we have been dreaming for and praying for I refused to preach it Marcus with God and then conversed you of chapter 4 F he told them all he was going to happen you know what he did he started over that same old message that he had given them in Exodus and Deuteronomy and they said I'm gonna tell you what I told him 38 years ago and he went through that whole law you know you got two records of the law one in Exodus and one in Deuteronomy because you know what he was telling that younger generation don't change the message in all this new move of rising and flowing there's one thing don't fool and that's the message he said I'm on the gold Moses you don't need to go over again yes sir he said I'm going over it all ten and they weren't ten suggestions they were Ten Commandments don't change the message now brethren if you've got different methods and if you've got thank God told you to do this legitimate Sikkim but there's one thing I'll tell you not to compromise with that's the message Joe don't you ever change the message son yeah I wouldn't notice you sir doing it in Spanish but God's gonna curse you if you ever change the message here o Israel the Lord our God is one Lord what if I gotta do to be shamed Davey of all they got to repent and be baptized every one of them in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin I charge you don't change the message and don't move these old landmark something that it made us what we are today we're in the greatest two-year
