Believer's Walk of Faith... BILL: ...said he was surrounded
by the Syrian army. And it's what one man said. There'd be
more with us than that'd be with them. This is one man, I'm
talking about, this is the old Testament, this is John the
Baptist, he was greater than all of those, but you are greater
than him. I'm just letting you know that this is one man, but
John the Baptist was greater than any of them. It said it.
But the least in the kingdom is greater than John the Baptist.
Now, come on, come on now. You can change that whole company.
One woman, one man. Say amen. I could change this
whole neighborhood. One woman, come on, one
man, come on. With a bunch of us we can
change the whole city. BILL: I want us to shift
from the survival mentality to the conquering mentality.
You got it? I want us to move from surviving to
conquering. Now the first step to doing that is that you have
to know who you are, glory to God. You have to know who you
are. The next thing is that you have to be in a place where you
have learn how not to depend on the world. How not to depend
on the world. See, because you can't change the world if you
depend on the world. I'll say that again. You can't change
the world if you depend on the world. And in thirdly, we're
going to have to move beyond salvation to transformation.
You're gonna have to move beyond salvation to transformation.
All right? I just gave you three things that we're going to have
to have. What was number one? Identity. You're going to have
to know who you are. What was number two? You're going to have
to learn to function independent of the system of the world,
number two. What was number three? We are going to have to
move beyond salvation, come on, to transformation. You got those
three? And if you get that and study that out and become that,
you will be a change agent. Let's go over to Judges chapter
6, please, verse 12. And the angel of the Lord appeared to
him and said to him, the Lord is with you thou mighty man of
Valor. God sees you better than you see yourself. Hands
down. Called him a mighty man of Valor. Now, if you go on down
here and Gideon said to him, Oh my Lord. If the Lord be with us,
why is all this befall on us and where be all his miracles?
Underline that, and where be all his miracles. Now I'm asking
that today, because I'm going to drift into something here and
we'll go into it more next time. And where are all our miracles?
Now, if God's with us, say amen, which our fathers told us, I've
saying did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt. But now the Lord
has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the
Midianites. Now, where are they should be the head they are the
tail. You read it early in that chapter. They're hiding out. And
I'm saying the four walls of the church is not a place to hide
out. It's a place that you be built up and launched out.
There's not a place to hide out. And you work on yourself and
better yourself. And if you know, you got some bad habits,
fix those habits. If you know that there's some wrong
structures in your take care of that. If you know there are some
relationships in your life that are toxic, drop those
relationships, get rid of them. I'm saying this is a place that
you get it together. Not that you stay like you are. You mean
when you came in here and you're still mean, that's not the idea.
This is not the place you hide out and say well you know,
so forth and so on and then complain about everything that's
going on. No, you are a change agent. You're a change agent.
God is going to do something with you. You can't change
others if you've not been changed yourself, they should
see something in your family should see something in you that
they want to know where you go and getting all of this. You're
going to church, I thought the church was full of a bunch of,
you know, so forth and so on. And, and you said, no, no, no,
not the church I go to, this church that I go to is a church
of change. This church that I attend is a resurrection center.
Verse 14, and the Lord looked upon him and said, go in this
thy might and thou shall save Israel from the hand of the
Midianites. Have not I sent thee? And he said unto him, oh
my Lord, where with shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is
poor in Manasseh. And I am the least in my father's household.
All these excuses now. See, he's looking at his past. He's
looking at his condition as he is right now. But see, that's
not the way God leaves you. God changes you. Paul said I die
daily. What does he mean by that? He means something in me
is dead and buried and something else is resurrected inside of
me. Every day something new coming out of me. And he said
to him, Oh my Lord, where with shall I save Israel? Behold, my
family is poor in Manasseh. And I'm the least in my father's
house. And the Lord said to him, surely I will be with you. And
thou shall smite the Midianites as one man. Now this is kind of
interesting. This whole one man concept. You got what I'm
saying? One man. Now I have here, I guess this is another
translation. You shall crush them as easy as they were one
man, one man, I look up one man. Abraham was one man. And he is
the one that started the whole change in history. One man. I
look at Joseph, he was one man, because of him the whole world
could be preserved because he provided food when the whole
world was in famine. One man. How about Moses? One man. Said
to Moses, I'm going to send you down here and get these people
set free. Moses said who me? Well, let's see what Moses
said. Look at Exodus. In Exodus chapter 4 at verse 10 and Moses
said unto the Lord. Oh my Lord. I am not eloquent. Neither
heretofore, nor since thou has spoken unto thy servant, but I
am slow of speech and slow of tongue. And the Lord said to
him, come on, help me. Who has made your mouth? Wow. So what is
he saying? He is saying whatever deficiency you have, I've got
you covered. Whatever deficiency you have I've got you covered.
See, I preach one Sunday that God is a heart fixer. Come
on, help me now. And a mind regulator. You take a person
like Gideon, who has never performed well on the sat ever.
I'm talking about the academic examinations, but he has never
performed well in anything. But look how God can touch a
person's mind and give them a whole new way of thinking. Say
amen to that, folks. Because he's a heart fixer and mind
renewer. Praise God. Okay, so look what Moses said, Moses
said, Hey, I can't do this. How about people like Elisha? And
one man, one man said he was surrounded by the Syrian army.
And it's what one man said, there'd be more with us than
there'd be with them. This one man now. Now I'm talking about
this is the old Testament, it's just John the Baptist. He was a
greater than all of those, but you are greater than him. I'm
just letting you know. Now this is one man. But John the Baptist
was greater than any of them. It said it, but the least in the
kingdom is greater than John the Baptist. Now come on, come on
now. You can change that whole company, one woman, one man. Say
amen. I could change this whole neighborhood. One woman, come
on, one man. Come on. With a bunch of us we can change a
whole city. Am I right about it now? Identification. Who are
you? Do you know who you are? Man, you are one woman. How
about the woman named Esther? She saved the whole Jewish
community from being wiped out. Say amen. One woman, the girl
had it going on. One woman. And you here looking at your
deficiencies. Well, you know, my mother didn't love me when I
was, Hey, get over it. We got work to do. Folks, we're not a
bunch of dysfunctional folks looking to hide from reality. We
are strong in the Lord and the power of his might. Say amen to
that. You are agents of change. How about Mary? You know she
changed things. She believed and How about Mary? You know she
changed things. She believed and she received. About Peter, how
about the apostle Paul? He's credited for writing over half
the new Testament as we study. Charles Finney, Martin Luther,
not Martin Luther King. Martin Luther. How about Smith
Wigglesworth? I was looking at a tape the other day, the guy was
in church, he was testifying. Said, yeah, said we were told by
the pastor that nobody in your family is to die prematurely
anymore. And he said, I took what he said and that was it. So
my uncle died. So I found out he was dead and I went to the
morgue and he had been in the morgue two days and I raised him
up, watch this, and brought him back to the house. How does that
look? Funeral homes go out of business if they put y'all in
there. Walk in the house who dead up in here? Praise God. My
point to you is identification, who are you? Paul said by the
grace of God, I am what I am. Are you following them saying?
So, that was identification. What is the second one? What is
the second one now? You and I have to learn to function
independent of the word, independent of the world.
Now you can't change it if you depend on it. How many you know
that? You can't change it if you depend on it, folks. And the
church has been dependent on foreign oil. We depend, that's
what I call it. We're looking to something outside of our
provider to provide for us. No, no, no, no. God is our source.
God is our supply. Say amen to that. And the reason why he
wants you to get used to sowing and reaping, cause he wants to
take care of you. I do not want another man downtown buying my
wife some stockings. Turn to Genesis chapter 44, turn to
Genesis chapter 14. Come on. Y'all know what I'm talking
about? God is a jealous God, look what it says here in verse
21. And the King of Sodom said to Abram, give me the persons
and take the goods for yourself. And Abraham said to the King of
Sodom, I have lift up my hand to the Lord, the most high God, the
possessor of what? Heaven and earth that I will not take from
you a thread, even to a shoelace that I will not take anything
that is yours less you say, come on. I have made Abram rich.
God does not want anybody to say they made his people rich. God
takes care of his family and check this out, and can do it
in style. Don't think you got to barely get along, down by
grumble alley, uh, before, before God will meet your
need. No, my friend, God has an inexhaustible supply laid up in
heaven for you. Now the thing that you're going to have to do
is you're going to have to learn how to receive from God, because
if you don't, then you're always going to be under the pressure
of the world. If you don't know how to receive from God, okay?
So you gotta, we gotta learn to function independent of that.
Say amen to that. What was the third one I gave you? We're
going to have to move beyond salvation to transformation.
Look at Exodus chapter 4, one more time, please. The enemy
knows that you and I, he knows what we have, by the way. He
knows what we have. He, he is aware of what we possess, but
his job is to keep you from being aware of what you possess,
okay. He's the deceiver. In verse 1 it says, and Moses
answered and said, but behold, they will not believe me now
hearken unto my voice, for they will say the Lord has not
appeared to you. And the Lord said to him, what is in your
hand? And he said, a rod. He said, now cast it on the ground.
And he cast it on the ground and it became a serpent and Moses
fled from before it. And the Lord said unto Moses, put forth
thy hand and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand,
caught it according. And it became a rod in his hand. Verse
17, and thou shall take this rod and thy hand where width you
shall be do what? Signs. When you get born again, it connects
you with the original source of power. When you get born
again it connects you with the original source of power. If you
recall in John chapter 14 and verse 10, Jesus said, believe it
thou that I am in the father and the father and me for the words
that I speak to you I speak not of myself, but the father that
dwells in me he doeth the what? Works. I want you to see
that power is the principle requirement for getting things
done. Glory to God. Power. And in Moses's case until power
was on display release would not come. Until power was on display
release would not come. Look at Luke chapter 4 and look at verse
33. And in the synagogue, there was a man which had a spirit of
an unclean devil and cried out with a loud voice saying, let us
alone. What have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth?
Art thou come to destroy us. I know who you are, you are the
Holy one of God. Now what was this devil doing? Was he
advertising for Jesus? And what was he doing here? And Jesus
rebuked him saying, hold your peace and come out of him. And
when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out and
hurt him not, and they were all amazed and speak among
themselves saying, what a word is this? For with authority and
power, he commanded the unclean spirits and they come out, and
the fame of him went out into every place of the country
roundabout. Power. Power. My Lord. Now let's go look at Acts
chapter 1 and verse 6, when they were there for come together,
they asked him saying, Lord, will you at this time restore
the kingdom to Israel? And he said to them, it is not for you
to know the times or the seasons which the father has put in his
own power, but you shall receive power. After that the Holy Ghost
has come upon you and you shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, in all Judea, and in Samaria, and into the uttermost
parts of the earth. You shall receive power. So what am I
saying? That God is passing onto you power. Amen. And the enemy
fears that power. Now he'll you power. Amen. And the enemy
fears that power. Now he'll harass you as long as you just
trying to operate without that power. But with that power, he's
going to either shut up or get out and buy you. Because
this power is what is needed to dominate this earth. And I
believe that the church has been talking a lot, but somehow we
left off the power, but we're bringing now the power back.
We're not going to be explaining anything, we're going to
demonstrate something, say amen to that. And I'm saying that
Jesus himself, look at Acts chapter 10 because it took the
power of God to do what he did. Verse 38, how God anointed him,
Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost, come on and with power
who went about doing what? Good and what else? Healing all that
were oppressed of the devil for who was with him? God was with
him. Come on over to Colossians chapter 1 verse 27, to whom
God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this
mystery among the Gentiles, which is what? Christ, where?
In you, the hope of glory. What does the word Christ mean? The
anointed one and his anointing. So the anointed one and his
anointing is inside of you, watch this, and it's the most
powerful force in the universe. Let's go over to first John
chapter 2. And that's our last scripture. First John chapter 2.
This is inside of you. You don't have to go anywhere to get it.
It's inside of you right now, and the enemy's job is to keep
it from functioning. Look what he said here. Verse 27. But
the anointing which you have received of him abides where?
In you and you need not any man what? Teach you, but the same
anointing what? Teaches you of how many things? All things and
is truth and is no lie. So I'm here to tell you when you got
born again and you got received the Holy Ghost, this is the
power that God needed for you to do things that would change
the environment that you're in. BILL: Well, I trusted you a
blessed by today's message. Now here's a point you want to
meditate on. One person can change the whole world. World
