"This Is Everything" Vesta Mangun BOTT 1997

Vestal a Mangan is my mother and I love her very much I have to have her there's a quote that's been around for a while that goes something like this he who knows not and knows not he knows not he is the fool shunning he who knows not and knows he knows not he is simple teaching he who knows and knows not that he knows he is asleep waken he who knows and knows he knows he's wives follow him and because of the times 1997 is going to help us to see whether we're simple asleep or wise or playing the part of a fool when the children of Israel had come to the borders of the promised land Moses God's magnificent leader and mighty intercessor in his dying message at the very gates of Canaan he exhorted God's people saying this is no trifling manner this is your life this is your everything and let me say to you today with all of the power that is in my body as we rapidly approached the borders of the 21st century at the very gates of the new millennium filled with apocalyptic siftings and revolutionary change this is no trifling matter this is no trifling matter this is no trifling matter this is our everything this is your life this is your kid's life this is the life of everybody you meet wake up and give this everything you've got this is all everything shouted at me I've been reared by godly noble parents who for nearly eight decades made this their everything and left this world in a blaze of glory and as a teenage girl to be taken by God from the backside of an old cotton field and put into the life of one of the greatest men of God that ever walked you're looking at an old girl that has given it everything I've got and I'm gonna give it everything I've got this is going to be my everything you go spend yours away you won't do and do anything with your little short life you won't - this is my everything I wouldn't trade places with not one of them nobody I love my life I love what I'm doing I don't have no bad stories to tell you this is everything folks I'm the luckiest woman in the whole wide world Psalm 14 is by no means the most popular but it has the unique honor of appearing twice in the book both psalm 14 in Psalm 53 begin with these arresting words The Fool has said in his heart in his heart there is no God and both Psalms plainly tell us that the Lord looked down from heaven to see if there were any that did understand and would seek God he said I even I am the lord and beside me there is no Savior yay before the day was I am he and there is none that can deliver out of my hand is there a God beside me yea I know not any see now that I even I am he there is no God with me don't ever be one formed after me I kill and I make alive I wound and I heal neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand it was he who became our intercessor he ever liveth to make intercession for us he's looking down now from his throne of mercy and grace on because of the times 1997 to see if there's anybody that understands the times and that we'll see God it's the word of a gentleman of the most strict and sacred honor if my people which are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then will I hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land God's people's got to do some old-fashioned agonizing before God in seeking his face come on raise your hands so I gotta seek his face so I gotta seek God God's will needs prayer as its indispensable condition and we've been chosen by God to play that critical part God works only by prayer prayer is a partnership with God we are cold workers with God in prayer we bring to pass what he planned before the foundation of the world we are the temple of God made for worship the chiefest part of which is prayer they were made to praying we are made to pray prayer is the greatest force on planet earth and makes possible the impossible the might of prayer is so great that it is overcome both heaven and earth actually conquering God in the sense that we seek to bind him to his own promises prayer is more than a habit prayer is more than a schedule prayer is a thirst that is neveress waged as a child I remember a motto hanging on the wall of our humble home silver letters in blue background with one brief message prayer changes things I believed it then I saw it work I thirst it for it I got it but I'm thirsty still and if there's any secret to my little life it's this I'm still thirsty I've stayed thirsty I'll be thirsty the next time you see me I don't want nothing but this this is my everything I'm thirsty this is no trifling matter I want you to say that with me this is no trifling matter how many times we're gonna have to hear that this is our everything this is your life this is what you live for this is everything brother tinny this is everything of God it's not to get into Hell than to going to do this is my life this is my life just look at somebody say this has got to be my life oh and it's a time we better make it our everything or we're going to lose everything it's a period of time when the depravity of man has fitted itself in the most egregious flagrant folly and God needs our cooperation and prayer is your decision to help casual prayer will not do in this hour the true prophetic message always calls us to a spiritual defiance of the world as it now is our prayer to the extent that it is fully authentic undermines the status quo prayer is a spiritual underground resistance movement we are subversives in a world of injustice oppression and violence we demand to be heard we are going to change some things none of them is going to go to hell before we get a chance at playing them out of hell biblical players impersonal persistent shameless sleepless indecorous it's a fearful thing the Lord is looking down on now does anybody here understand will anybody cooperate and seek God this is no trifling matter this is our life we must respond nail with United organized persevering shameless intercessory organizing prevailing prayer and you have not prevailed until you get the answer God's will and purpose needs prayer as its indispensable conditioned and the chief concern of God about every one of us is that we seek not ourselves but we seek the Lord while he may be found for thus saith the Lord seek you me and you shall live seek me not and fire shall break out and devour and none can quench it abomination of desolation will come into your church into your home and to everything you have until you pray and fast and seek God and change the situation God said over and over again I'll be with you while you be with me and if you will seek me I will be found of you and you shall seek me and find me when you search for me with your whole again weary seek him that made the Seven Stars than the EURion and turneth the shadow of death into mourning jesus said seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness seek and ye shall find the Apostles urged the church to give themselves theta seeking God seek those things which are above and God is a rewarder of them that the book of Acts is the results of people seeking God by prayer and supplications with fasting the psalmist says the Young Lions do lack and suffer hunger even though they are the kings of the forest but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing Solomon said they that seek the Lord will understand all things so what is your heart seeking can you say with David of old when thou says see my face my heart said unto thee thy face will I seek but the fool in his heart of unbelief indifference carelessness lukewarmness laziness will not seek after God and Jeremiah said your heart is deceitful more than all else it's desperately sick who can understand it our hearts are like well-worn shoes into which we've relaxed and some of us are becoming fools without even realizing it God said my people will not lay it to heart and because they rejected this high and holy privilege I will also reject them therefore saith the Lord turn to me turn to me turn to me talk to me with part of your heart oh you didn't say that good enough walk before me with all of your heart serve me with all of your heart believe in me with all of your heart seek me with all of your heart gods will never bid of you this is no trifling matter this is you rend your heart tear it apart split it with violence and in the farthest presence let them begin a deep revolutionary purging work for out of your hearts gonna flow the issues of life only the pure in

Daniel prime minister to for heathen kings said this is no trifling matter this is our life God's staging a mighty deliverance and he needs mines intercessory prayer I set my face my heart to seek God

going to prepare your heart they to see God for the hand of God is upon all them for good who watch seek him you want the good hand of God to rest upon you they seek the Lord nehemiah said I wept I'm

life before the Lord I did seek him he graded my petition I want to tell you something folks the devil has laid hold on some of our most valuable possessions there are homes to our families there are churches and our nation and feeling sad and crying about it is not going to get the job done I'm going to bring it before the judge of the whole earth that doeth right Jesus Christ the warrior of Nazareth he knows my adversary he faced him head-on he whipped him and stripped him placed his heel upon his head followed his principalities made a show of him openly triumphing over him crushed his old head yes he did I'm on his side and everything he accomplished at Calvary he accredited under me I'm gonna ask for it I'm going after it I'm no fool I'm no fool I'm wide awake this is my everything I'm gonna give it all I got you're not talking to deaf ears or corrupt mind with a withered hand when you play he's pulled up his sleeve to show his biceps he's ready to whoop up on him he's ready to beat up on him and he's got me on his side and I'm on his side nice you ought to get up and go the effectual fervent prayer some of you little deadly oppressed people you ought to get up and shake your hand and say I'm not if you mean business don't get on inhales you want to scare you come on out of the lion's den and show your colors get on the winning side this is not everything get your mind made up I'm gonna give this everything I've got now okay the effectual but the fool say The Fool hath said in his heart not with his mouth but in his heart prayer is an illusion I don't need to pray I make it without it the fool I want you brother tinny to help me so I can remain a little lady and this is my superintendent and he can just you can just set me down any time but I want him to say it when it ought to be said we're fools if we don't wake up to what we're hearing how many times are you going to have to hear this don't be a fool make this your everything this works The Fool said it and acted it out I don't want to be a food and the word fool is said comes from a term which means the act of the word fool comes from a word that means the act of withering your withering you're drying up your decaying your weakening your languishing the heart which is the seat of life and strength your mind your soul in your spirit your entire emotional nature and understanding is in the act of withering drying up when you do not play and see God you don't have to have a dried up Church you don't have to have a dried up life you don't have to come behind and no gift you don't have to sit by and watch the world go by come on folks come on come on out of your little atheism is of the heart not the head practical atheism is a man professing to know God when it works he's denying he is an atheist in conduct in lifestyle who does not seek God you're an atheist atheism agnosticism and infidelity differs they may philosophically come to the same results you may call yourself wise in all worldly wisdom cultural virtuous benevolent but you're taking sides in the great warfare and journey of life with the pool when you do not seek God and if you hang out with food you'll be like-minded and soon talking like one don't hang out with fools and dream killers and prayerless people and divisive people and gossiping people and carnal people hang out with people of vision burden these are with a passion to pray and to seek God walk circumspectly not as fool's but as wise don't walk like a fool get on your knees anywhere play farm on the street corner get up off of your bed at night and go to playing and dancing in the spirit make this your everything come on somebody shot that at me I'm going to make this smile everything I'm not gonna be a fool when man does not tie himself to God with prayer the ties which bind man to man or cut asunder as well ever expression in Psalm 14 and 53 reveals that listen they're all gone aside they're all together become filthy stinking corrupt we to dwell in a world system structured by lies and illusions and rampant corruption all the horrifying despicable outrageous sins that plague our nation our churches our families or because man will not tie himself to God with prayer therefore the ties which bind man to man are cut asunder also they family charged nation if they don't tie themselves to God by prayer they're going to be cut asunder that's why God called out intercessors like Abraham Moses Samuel and others all down through the ages to stand in the gap for the land that's why he said I will destroy it if you don't no church can survive without intercessors no family can survive without intercessors no nation can survive without intercessors when man does not tie himself to God with prayer the ties which bind man to man are cut asunder as well and God's looking down here right now and he's looking for intercessors and he wonders he shocked that there are so few who stirreth up themselves to take hold of God in these closing evil days of time all the promises of God that have been given to us he is simply telling us and I want you to shout it say take hold come on shout it again this is your everything take a hold of my promises and don't let go until you get it if you think you can make it on your own without tying yourself to God with prayer then Moses David Isaiah and all the Apostle Stephen and all the holy martyrs and the champions of truth in all ages followed cunningly devised fables and Jesus Christ founded his gospel and his church on an illusion and The Fool has said in his heart I don't need to pray and your heart's crucial to the matter for in his Sermon on the Mount Jesus said adultery can be committed in the heart if adultery can be committed in the heart then atheism can be committed in the heart The Fool said in his heart no God uh-uh when you don't play and see God that's what you're saying there's no God no God but the Lord doesn't see like man said he looketh upon the heart while you're looking on the outside he's looking on your heart God does not judge us men do many whom men call wise are in the side of God fools and many who are in the side of God wise are judged by men to be fools there are many kinds of fools in the Bible there's the sin marking fool there's the wisdom hating fool there's the strike causing fool there's the glory seeking fool there's that money loving fool there's that indolent fool there's that careless fool and then there's that backsliding fool and the two foods and the one hint picked husband Jesus talked about in Luke chapter 14 the only wire spool in the bunch is summarized best in the words of the Apostle when he said we are fools for this is no trifling matter we're going to give ourselves to unceasing prayer and the word that's what the Apostle said and with eyes of single vision and hearts of flame we will proclaim Jesus Christ at his gospel to all nations how many of you ever heard about the boy that hung a placard about his neck ran down through the streets of the city and on the front was I'm a fool for Christ's sake and they all left until they read what was on the backside whose fool are you God's the final judge and he whom he called he whom God calls a fool say he's a fool and Jesus said there was a certain man who said in his heart I'll pull down my barns and build greater bones I'll say to my soul take ease but God said you're a fool you've made three fatal mistakes you mistook yourself to be God you mistook your body for your soul you mistook time for eternity you've played the fool you said in your heart I'll make it on my own I don't need to seek God I don't need to pray now you're a fool and a fix and where you're gonna go from here what are you gonna do with you one little short lap so as he that lieth up treasure for himself is not rich toward God Jesus talked about ten virgins five were wise five were foolish the foolish took their lamps and took no oil no Claire no seeking God no fasting no refilling no winning of the souls Lu oh don't be a fool don't be a foolish version the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps filled with the spirit playing in the Holy Ghost praying without ceasing seeking God making this their everything he talked about faithful and wise stewards inferring there were foolish stewards foolish with their time with their money with their talents and these mighty revelations and these solemn responsibilities that we have he talked about a wise man who built his house on a rock and a foolish man who built his house on the sand shallow frothy empty non-productive don't want no more than what they've got wouldn't do anything to change things in their own life or the home of their city folks this is your everything Paul said all you foolish galatians are you so foolish having begun in the spirit now you're gonna try to do it in the flesh that that's born of flesh is flesh that that's born of the Spirit is spirit you can't work this without the Holy Ghost and the Holy Ghost won't work with our prayer to the Romans Paul said when they knew God they glorified him Lord is God their foolish heart was darkened professing them to be wise they became pardon me ma'am pardon me sir but it's a sin against God not to pray prayerlessness is atheism in conduct prayerlessness in essence says that God will not do what he said he would do prayerlessness does not glorify God and even if you know God and prosthetic profess yourself to be wise you'll become a fool if you do not pray and seek God and that frightens me prayerlessness the cross of Jesus Christ is despised the Church of Jesus Christ is deprived the cause of Christ is defeated prayerlessness ties the hands of God and limits his power prayerlessness his treachery with the mouth we say we believe in prayer but our action speaks too loudly what we're saying is never really heard because we have no scheduled days of prayer and fasting no daily committed prayer life no seeking God's face we're building bigger barns in which to bestow our goods while the world dies and goes to hell when this is your everything folks this is your everything you're going to wake up you're going to wake up it's gonna take something to joy you but then this will become your everything no prayer no pardon for sin no soul saved no prayer then human life is degraded in expressively no prayer then sorrow is comfortless no prayer then there's no wisdom higher than man's no strength stronger no love deeper no communion with an unseen ever-present friend and helper to lift our life above the world no healing no miracles no redemption for mankind oh how foolish not to pray you will never know all that you could have had until you learn to see God prayer is the power of God working through us binding the forces of the devil in people and in communities and in nations it unleashes the limitless resources of Almighty God which are beyond measure into our circumstances it binds and shackles Satan and all of hell's demons forcing them to retreat in desperation prayer drives him out of places and lives he claims for his own prayer brings things to pass that will not come to pass unless you play and prayerlessness proves that we do not believe that hence we are atheist in the heart but here's what really frightens me say the Holy Ghost is a playing spirit If any man have not the Spirit of Christ which is a playing spirit you're not of his that's no trifling matter and don't think me prude or lacking grace please indulge me to say we're the biggest foods of the 20th century if we use not ourselves completely to Jesus Christ in prayer supplication with fasting and proclaimed this glorious gospel of his death burial and resurrection to all nationalities we're as foolish as the tree which if it had a tongue would say I would be fruitful but I can't be bothered with rooted in the soil and sack in my body where as foolish is the field which says I want to produce harvest but I don't need the Sun the rain the seed and the plow where as foolish is the locomotive which says I must be powerful to pull a loaded cars but I don't see any sense in firing steam where as foolish is the automobile which says I need to travel but I don't need gas on the highway or I don't need highways either where as foolish is the light bub which says with my carbon filament I need to shine and dispel darkness but I will have nothing to do with that electric current where as foolish is the human body which says I want to be healthy and strong but I don't need blood and muscles oh how foolish if we live as though there were no Galilean ministry no Jerusalem sorrows no Calvary no empty tomb no ascension no Pentecost no book of Acts miracles what kind of a response are you gonna make to this call a prayer shall it be sweet sayings about him or interceding with him for a lost world shall it be rolling marbles or removing mountain knocking down the gates of Hell shall it be a cross or an ornament about your neck or reality in your life shall it be leftovers are you gonna give it all are you gonna be a coward are you gonna be courageous conquest increasing shortly of butterflies of pleasure for just a little season or choosing to serve the Lord and seeking with total abandonment are you going to pigma ties yourself by groping after the trivial and the petty missing the main chance Solomon said I was so wise to be such a fool I gave my heart to seek the wrong things are you here today seeking the wrong things throw your hands up and say my god don't leave me like I was when I came this is a matter of life and death this is our everything this is no trifling matter we're fools to waste our time in the showers of our churches and chapels and seeking our own advancement and launch Aryan comfort instead of seeking God in lost souls when outside there are teeming millions of them we're foods if we think we can get a few sermons and a few little funny stories together and go out and set the world on fire if we do not pray and fast and seek the face of God you can't do it you can't do it you can't do it you can't do it you can't do it somebody shouts you can't do it just keep on saying it you can't do it you better learn to prevail with God because you won't prevail with man until you prevail with God you don't have to back up from nobody no place nowhere Kavner King Saul's commander-in-chief one of the most skilled and popular warriors in all of Israel and unimpeachable gentlemen he it was who had led young David Baron Goliath's head down to the Kings tent but Abner died as a food because he forgot where in lay his safety he trusted in his own strength daaad is a food either I wouldn't be in this room today and here even what I just heard and last night and go home and remain a fool if you're asleep let us wake us let us wake up if you're a fool somebody shaped me and show me the way and interpret things to me somebody ought to get up and scream I came here wrong but I'm leaving here right kingsong tall handsome strong modest every inch of King at mere sight of him dissemble nation cheered god save the king God tried to solve interfered and Samuel God's prophet said to Saul thou has done what say foolishly everybody shout that Saul you've been set aside now because you would not take a hold Saul your dynasty could have been where that the blind man would have said Jesus thou son of Saul but you've been set aside now and a man defector mine own heart that's what I'm seeking right now two things I don't have time to go into it but that's what I'm seeking that's what I'm seeking you better get your heart after God's heart I'm useless to him without this kind of a heart I must know how far he wants travel for me and God is is the same distance he will journey through me my heart's got to be knit with his heart or he'll set me aside I'm searching for the very heart of God toward man I've got to do his will I must know his heart I don't want to be set aside I don't want somebody else to take my place this is going to be my everything Ananias and Sapphira digest foods because they said in their heart we'll keep back part of the price it's great for me to live but it's an awful responsibility would you say that with me it's great let's say it's an awful responsibility this is no trifling matter this is our everything and I close two older ministers were talking not long ago one said I remember back in 1987 when a young preacher declared that we were on the verge of the greatest revival and in gathering of souls since the days of the Apostles and in the next 13 years we would see more than the church had seen in the last 2,000 years he said it would be a spiritual landslide then he said it wasn't easy but I'll and my life up with what the Spirit was saying to the church I became an intercessor I sold out to God I made this my everything things I was pursuing I threw to one side and I said I'm going with the flow come on go with what I'm hearing I don't care what it cost I don't care what I have to give up I'm gonna make this mine everything say this is no trifling matter we're on the verge of the coming of the Lord there's a million dying soul just like that boy that was brought up your last night he said I've seen God do everything he said he would do since I did that but the other minister looked at him and said I heard him say that too but I doubted it in my heart I ignored it as the excitement of youth or EVO gone wild it never occurred to me that maybe just maybe God was really speaking through that young man besides I was caught up in hectic schedules and heavy demands I didn't pay any attention to world network of Prayer I didn't listen it because at the times what the Spirit was saying to the church I left there and drifted back in my own little rut little by little I lost out now it's passed me by I've lived my life outside that move of God in the last days of the church I've wasted these last few years I've been so foolish and if you hear my testimony at because of the times would you please heed and not play the part of a fool would you turn to the Lord now with all of your holes when Christ shall appear all who have interceded with him shall appear with him in his glory and your share your prayer shall be the astonishment of angels and the admiration and praise them Jesus Christ and the Holy Church and you will shout this was my say I'm gonna make it my everything and Mickey God love your sweetheart I never heard nothing like that in all of my life so if you ever see me change let me tell you what you do you come get me by the hand and you say we're going to the altar somebody ought to grab somebody this morning and I don't care where you go but you ought to get up and say this is gonna be no trifling matter with me no more say I'm not gonna be a fool tell gonna make this long everything anybody here gonna make it you're everything don't be a fool in this hour this is no table matter this is all everything your children involved your city is it Bob our nation is involved our churches Redbone what's more let's cry out to God
