Unlocking God's Power In Your Life - Overcoming Obstacles

as you guys know tonight and i just messed up the recording so i just started the recording praise the lord but as you guys know tonight we're going to be talking about increasing in the power of god we've been doing a lot of teachings everyone on deliverance on miracles and tonight we're going to talk about how you can increase on the power of god what you need to know about the power of god as we intro here is that whenever god calls you to do something whether it's heal the sick whether it's drive out demons whether it's start a ministry whether it start a business god will always give you the tools that you need to fulfill the call the bible says he called them to cast out demons heal the sick and preach the gospel but before he sent them out the bible says he gave them power to do these things so we've been given and i just feel the holy ghost all up in my office right now we've been given power to heal the sick to preach the gospel to drive out demons to raise the dead you have supernatural power that's in luke 9 we've been given power which the bible calls dunamis this is the power of the holy spirit that brings forth miracles in acts 1 8 it says when the spirit comes upon you you will receive power and so when the holy spirit comes on us guys we get the power of god and one of the ways the power of god functions is through the gifts of the holy spirit gifts of healing gifts of miracles the discerning of spirits these are power gifts that the power of god you know flows through acts 19 the bible says paul was doing unusual miracles through his hands and so i'm telling you there's an anointing some people call the power of god the anointing i don't have a problem calling it that we know that the power fluctuates you know sometimes we feel the anointing stronger like right now i'm feeling it super strong other times we don't feel it as strong and so there is a fluctuation in the anointing in the power of god i taught everyone on friday the authority is constant but the power fluctuates and biblically we can increase in the power of god and so i believe as we talk about jesus said by prayer and fasting this type of demon comes out so there was a there was a next level of power that came through prayer and fasting and i believe tonight tj we're gonna when we teach on and preach on the power of god and i prophesy over you guys now i just feel the holy ghost all up in my office that the power of god is flowing right now through this broadcast i speak the anointing i speak the power of god through your television through your cell phones that right now from the top of your head to the soles of your feet the power of god is flowing we are in an hour right now where we need the power of god we need the anointing like never before it is the power that breaks the yoke of bondage and so i'm excited tonight that the power of god is flowing tj i know you've been preaching on this but i believe right now man the power of god is just flowing even through this broadcast that's right and you know what you said it and nailed it on right on the head when jesus commissioned his disciples in mark chapter 16 he told them to go into all the world and preach the gospel in luke chapter 24 it says that when he told them you know that version of the great commission in luke 24 it says that you should go out and preach remission of sins in my name he then goes on to say but you are now to tarry in the city of jerusalem until until until you are clothed with power from on high that means he said i there's a great task ahead of you there's the task and assignment of world evangelization and i'm sending you to undertake this task an angel's not going to come in and preach the gospel come on or heal come on the angels have not been tasked with the with the commission of getting people saved that's why romans 10 says how can people get saved unless they hear and how can they hear or believe unless there be a preacher come on we have the assignment it's not the great option it's not the recommendation it is the great commission to the church where if all god wanted to do was get you saved and get you to heaven he would have gotten you saved and then taken your life and got brought you up to heaven but ezekiel 22 30 stands true to this day god is still looking for a man god is still looking for a woman who's going to stand in the gap and be fed up not tolerate the form of godliness that religion brings but be pursuing and be like the bible says fervently aggressively hungry for the gifts of the holy ghost the power of god to manifest in and through them so that when you're clothed with power from on high acts 1 8 says you will receive power from the holy ghost to be empowered to be an effective witness a witness you know what that word witnesses is the greek word martyrs which we get the word martyr from that word witness is you're empowered by the holy ghost to be a witness even unto death that nothing will slow you down nothing will slow your tracks that no though none goes with me see that's why a lot of people have a hard time serving god they think that the commandments of god are burdensome they don't have that inner fire but when the fire of god comes on you which jesus said john the baptized did baptize with water unto repentance but one is coming after john said who's not i'm not even worthy to untie his sandal strap that one's gonna carry something called the holy ghost and fire and he will baptize come on in the holy ghost and fire and the timidity the inferiority you felt towards the devil that timidity that shyness that weakness that frailty that human inadequacy and insufficiencies when the fire comes it burns it all out it purifies you so that you can be a vessel for honorable use purified sanctified prepared for every good work and i tell you at the onset of this broadcast that will be your story in the name of jesus christ god is not coming back to pick up a weak beaten down battered and bruised bride he's coming back for a glorious bride and you're not going to be left up god left out god's raising you up like esther was raised up for such a time as this and that hunger you've been feeling and that thirst you've been feeling is not your own mind it's not your enthusiasm that's the holy ghost drawing you to him david said lord when you spoke to me seek my face my heart spoke back and replied thy faith i will seek that drawing your feeling is not for nothing god will not get you hungry for nothing there's a table prepared and on that table is the baptism of the holy ghost and you're going to feast on that tonight in the name of jesus christ t.j i want to mention something you talked about paul warns us i was reading this study in second timothy 3 that there will be a certain type of person in the last days and paul's going to go on and say they'll be lovers himself they'll love their money they'll be boastful they'll be proud they'll scoff at god they're going to be unloving and unforgiving they're going to be puffed up they're going to choose pleasure over god and then after all of that so paul guys is describing a end time type of person and then paul ends that whole massive thing about how terrible they're gonna be and then he describes them like this they will act religious oh i feel the holy ghost they will act religious this type of person will act religious but they will reject the power that could make them godly or one translation says they will reject the power that could make them like god stay away from those people and every one of us listening to the broadcast tonight have a friend or a family that goes to church uh goes to church on sunday but rejects the power of god in their everyday life some of you you don't even talk to your family anymore because when you got saved out of drug addiction all your family that went to church on sunday think you're crazy because you now have encountered the power of god and they've only encountered the power of religion see the power of religion wants to keep you in bondage living as a lover of self living in denial and having a form of godliness what's the form of god this oh i go to church on sunday oh i prophesy oh i pray oh i tithe oh i give but then this is what he tells timothy you have and you guys i just want to warn you you're going to hear more bible verses in this live stream than you've ever heard in any live stream i'm just gonna let you know that we're gonna be spitting verses non-stop but in second timothy he warns him and says timothy these people they act religious they act like they're believers he says but here's the one way you know that they're not of god is they deny the very power that could make them like god jesus said i'm going to the father and now i give you power so that you can be me on the earth but you have to understand even friends and family i know some of you written me saying they call this demonic i talked about on friday tj that the blasphemy of the holy spirit is when you say deliverance is of the devil they started telling jesus that deliverance was from the devil and jesus says this is blasphemy of the holy spirit and then what does paul say to do about these people he says stay away from them why should we stay away from these people here's why he says because all they want to do is debate you they want to argue with you they want to scoff at you but you have to understand and paul will go on and i've never heard anybody preach this paul goes on to say this about these people that they have counterfeit faith he says they have a faith that resembles the real thing but it's not and the only way to tell tj if something's counterfeit is by comparing it to the real thing i used to work at kmart okay that's a confession i didn't want to make on live stream but my first job ever was at kmart and i remember one day i got a 100 bill i put it under the light i put the marker on it and it cleared everything at the end of the night my manager came up and said isaiah there's a hundred dollars negative in your tray i said there's no way he said yes you accepted a hundred dollar counterfeit bill i said well it passed the marker test it passed the you know uv light the fake light and that's a whole nother message test and he says no but what you have to understand is the only way to tell if it's really counterfeit is you compare it to an actual hundred dollar bill so the way the bank does it is they put it next to a real one and when you put it next to the genuine thing you'll realize it's counterfeit let me tell you why pastors leaders friends and family that are counterfeit don't like you because when they see you they understand that you're the real thing and you're showing how ungenuine their faith is you're showing how counterfeit their faith is but i believe that god is releasing his power to break you out of counterfeit christianity i don't want to live my life as a counterfeit religious dead christian and paul says this and this is this is how we have to build the structure tonight paul says that when you don't walk in the power of god you're a counterfeit believer paul says this is how you know is there's no power in your life everything is about arguing everything is about talking i know there's a million great churches that have a nice place for your family nice coffee shop good donuts good kids ministry you know all the stuff in the church but they lack the power that's why in first corinthians 4 20 what is paul said one of my favorite verses of all time the kingdom of god is not about talking but it's about power it's not about us getting up here and just talking it's not about you going to a nice church and they give you three points and opponents just talking talking talking it's about power that's what the kingdom of god is so we need to understand that god wants to give you power god is raising up believers with power second timothy he said god has not given you a spirit of fear but a spirit of power god has given you a spirit that has power god is not giving you this shy timing we know fear means to be timid so that whole thing man where it's like we shrink back every time the devil pushes at us that whole thing of us just you know sitting down and settling down when the culture tries to tell us you shouldn't be preaching that you shouldn't be talking about that i've been preaching deliverance for three months and i'm telling you i have had hundreds of unbelievers are getting converted or getting saved or getting deliverance and are loving what god is saying and tj the only resistance i've gotten preaching on miracles and deliverance is from the counterfeit religious people that fill our churches on sunday morning but you have to understand that that spirit of timidity of shyness of fear i break it off of you now in jesus name because god has given you a spirit of power let me give you one last thing before we really jump in first corinthians 2 2 paul says that i didn't come with lofty speech or wisdom of men paul being incredibly educated could have he said but i came weak and trembling and my speech and my message was not that of wisdom but paul says my speech was that of the demonstration of the spirit's power and then paul tells us here's why i preach with power here's why i believe in power here's why i demonstrate power so that your faith would not rest in the wisdom of me but it would rest in the power of god paul says your faith needs to be in the power of god oh brother isaiah should we be talking about that power that spiritual stuff that supernatural stuff you guys are always talking about paul says your faith should not be in your pastor should not be in a man but it should be in the power of god let us look at the average american church what is it all about the personality come here my pastor what are the mega churches the best looking the best dressing and the best talking pastors that's what the mega churches are it's not about power it's not about miracles it's not about deliverance it's about personality that is why tj if you do a prayer meeting in the average church in america you're going to have 10 people show up if the famous pastor preaches you're going to have 10 000 people show up because a church our faith has been in the wisdom of men instead of in the power of god but i'm telling you i believe that the power of god is going to be the forefront of the church i believe that even during kovid we're realizing on how much we relied on people and not present and god is releasing power an anointing a fresh fire so that our faith i really believe is going to be on the power of god tonight and i never understood why somebody would attend the church come on and then when they're in need of a miracle go there when they're in need of a breakthrough when they're in need of deliverance when they're in need of their child's healing whatever it is they leave that church and they go to another church once they get the power of god they go where god's moving once they get the power of god once they have that breakthrough they go back into the muddy place from which they came out of why not stick where where god's moving i'm i don't care if john wesley preached in that church in the year 1795 i don't care who you know our you know my family my father went there my great-grandfather went there my great-great-grandfather was actually the one who nailed in the founding pillar in this in this church it doesn't matter if god's not moving there now if you have some backslidden like isaiah said one who denies the power of god you know rejects the power of god there are some churches in denominations that were born because of the pentecostal outpoint of 1906 they were born in the fire they lived in the smoke for a little while because they didn't kindle the coal and now it's totally dead it's full of icicles and those there's a specific denomination where the churches now there's some churches where i'm hearing reports where they have a sign as you enter into the sanctuary there's no speaking in tongues because they're ashamed of god's power but i am cut from the same cloth that paul's out of for i am not ashamed of the gospel of jesus christ why would i be ashamed of the power that broke me out of ocd eight years ago when man gave me up when they said just take a bunch of pills here's a but you know you'll have to wear a little elastic band around your wrist and pinch it when you have a bad thought they had no answer to it with impossible but not with god with god it doesn't matter what you're believing him for tonight their dao lord the bible says have made the heaven and the earth by his great power and outstretched arm we don't serve an idol that has eyes that can't see we don't serve an idol that has ears that can't hear we serve the maker of the heavens and the earth and david said when you see a mountain in front of you lift your eyes a little higher look to the one who made the heavens and the earth he'll not leave you he'll not forsake you and he said i'm not only going to not leave you and forsake you but my presence going with you will be the the agency that breaks you free from every long-standing issue that the devil would throw at you because john 10 10 the thief might have come to steal the thief might have come to destroy and if you don't put your foot down today he'll go on to kill to steal kill and destroy ultimately just ruin you totally get you to curse god and die like he tried to do with job but if you'll keep steadfast in the faith you'll get to taste and see that jesus came to give you life and life more abundantly so i don't understand when they they leave church they they leave their dead church to go to a lively church to get the power of god and then when that happens they go back into their dead church and then they're back in the same situation where they found themselves out of had they just stayed in the lively church it makes zero sense to me and i'll go a step further there are ministries and ministers that behind closed doors they believe in the baptism in the holy ghost they believe healing but they don't they shy away from preaching it lest they should offend lest they should wrestle some feathers there's some pastors that speak in tongues behind closed doors but they'll never preach on the importance of tongues they'll never preach and they'll stay you know it's it's not really necessary to get to heaven so if someone has any curiosity they can come meet me in my office after we'll pray for the baptism in some sort of basement room we have just to keep clear we wouldn't want to offend anyone we wouldn't want anyone to come in and call us crazy you know what paul said if i'm in my right mind it's because of you but if i look like i've lost my mind it's because of god because when the holy ghost comes what man calls an orderly service is not what god calls an orderly service man likes it nice neat and tidy that everyone lifts hands at the same time like like the you know some churches it's like a catholic liturgy just everyone gets up at the same time goes down at the same time there's no flow of the spirit and and they call that an orderly service but you recall acts chapter 2 when the holy ghost fell on that place there if there was a noise monitor a decibel monitor the thing would have been off the off the hook because the bible says there came a sound as of a rushing mighty wind i don't want clean religion if things get a little messy but the holy ghost is in it i don't care if tongues of fire come on me i want the holy ghost like david as a dear panther for the water creek i don't care what men look like men look to me like i don't care what people think about me david danced himself off before his clothes began to fall off his body because he didn't care what his wife had to say he didn't care what israel the rest of israel had to say he didn't care what his brothers had to say he was hungry for a move of the holy ghost and i know you're here watching today because you're the same you're hungry and thirsty for the power of god to be at work in you and i tell you jesus did not lie when he said blessed are the hungry blessed are the thirsty for they shall be filled isaiah 44 3 one of my favorite scripture verses it says i will pour water on him that is thirsty and i'll pour floods on the dry ground the only pre requisite that you need to come in contact to have an encounter with god's power tonight is to be hungry and to be thirsty to be re to be totally uh indignant with the level you're at now i'm not satisfied with an ankle deep anointing i'm not satisfied with a knee deep anointing i'm not satisfied with a waist deep and waist deep anointing i want to swim in the rivers that cannot be passed over jesus said if you'll be thirsty and come to me out of your bellies shall flow rivers of living water this spake of the spirit for jesus had not yet been glorified but after that happened jesus said it's to your advantage that i go away for if i don't go i can't send the helper but if i do go i'll send you the helper so the works you've seen me do the authority you've seen me carry the dominion over satan sickness disease that you've seen me exercise that's not a model for you to wonder if you can ever have that that should be the reality of every to them that received christ to them gave he power to become children of the most high jesus the son of god came to set a pattern for the rest of us sons and daughters of the most high to follow after so that when the devil comes to knock on your door you don't have to there's some things you can pray about and there's other things you don't even need to pray about you can take authority the bible says behold i give thee power over unclean spirits to cast them out the bible says in luke chapter 10 and verse 19 behold i give you power over serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the devil and nothing nothing shall by any means harm you and i see you taking that level of authority today in jesus name what you said tj is everything starts at the baptism of the holy spirit this is lost in the american church there's so many people that write in that view the stream that say i have never received the baptism of the holy spirit and power and this is where everything changed in your life listen if you're taking notes we're gonna give you five we're gonna tag team this and give you five ways that you can write down you can pray on you can study we're gonna roll with this that you can unlock the power of god in your life it ends today living your life without the power of god is over today i want you to tell yourself that no longer i'm not going another day without the power of god flowing in my life it does not matter now some of you say well i'm not a preacher an evangelist listen the power of god is not just for an evangelist the power of god is not just for a preacher the power of god is not just for some pastor or some leader or some apostle the power of god is for all that believe it's the power for the stay-at-home mom it's the power for the police officer that's working graveyard ships it's the power for the nurse that's working the front lines dealing with covet patients it's the power for the construction worker that's up on a roof in 105 degree weather that's praying in the holy ghost and the power of god begins to move i don't care if you work at walmart i don't care if you work at starbucks i don't care if you don't work i don't care if you're stay at home if you're go home if you work it in and out you work at round table the power of god is alive and is available for you tonight and if you would lean in on this and say i'm done living my life below the standard that jesus christ jesus paid too high of a price for you to live in some dead church and as tj said you're there just because of tradition truth is some of you are still at that dead church because you were raised there well guess what god wants to raise you up to a new level and sometimes he can't do it if you want to stay in dead places well brother it's going to be uncomfortable if i leave i've been here my whole life the whole thing god is trying to do in your life is make you uncomfortable there's nothing comfortable about walking and the power of the holy spirit god right now is shaking your comfort zone and shaking your your box so we're going to give you five practical ways to unlocking and stepping into the next level power of god and way number one if you're writing it down listen i'll post this later so if you didn't write it down don't worry i'll post it all later but number one of walking in the power of god is the baptism of the holy spirit the baptism of the holy spirit changes everything one of the main things the baptism of the holy spirit does is it makes the bible come alive tj i remember when i got saved and for weeks you could ask my family this i could not read the bible i would shake i would cry i would literally open up the bible start shaking and close it and they would say what are you doing i would say you don't understand this bible is alive see for years tj being raised in the church i read the bible but it was religion it was dead it was dry but then the moment i got baptized in the holy spirit the bible began to come alive the bible i didn't just read the bible but the bible read me it became a sword it became living it became active it began to speak to me it began to nourish me the holy spirit and the baptism will make the bible come alive in your life it'll make the bible become exciting you need the baptism of the holy spirit john said that there's one i come and baptized in water he said but one coming who's greater that i'm not even worthy to unlatch the sandals of his sandals he said he's gonna baptize you in power and the holy ghost in the holy ghost and fire there is a baptism of the holy ghost and fire that releases the power of god in your life you need the power of god it's like trying to drive a car with no power steering some of you are tired and you're frustrated because you don't realize you've been trying to do the call without the power jesus told the disciples to wait in jerusalem until the holy spirit comes upon you because the assignment the strategy the calling and the plan that i have for your life will be impossible without the power of god let me give you a biblical statement that will change your life without the power of god it is impossible to do the full call that god has called you to do you will live your life on the treadmill of christianity you will live your life come on who am i preaching to you will live your life tired exhausted living in temptation to temptation living from bondage to bondage but god is saying i want to release power and there's many churches and believers that even tonight have no clue what we're talking about acts 19 paul came to ephesus and paul said to some of this the bible says some of jesus disciples were there or some of the disciples of jesus were there and paul said did you receive now here comes paul in ephesus and paul says did you receive the holy spirit when you believed in other words when you got saved when you prayed your prayer and repented of your sins did you receive the holy spirit and they said we haven't even heard that there is a holy spirit and paul and paul if i could talk to you now i would say that is the generation we're living in we are living in a church generation where we say get saved get saved get saved but we never even know anything about the power or the baptism of the holy spirit we've never even heard about it i remember getting saved and what changed everything tj was when i stood as a self-proclaimed atheist at an altar and said i don't believe in you i don't think you're real and i need some of you to remember your encounter and i'll never forget tj from the top of my head i feel it right now to the souls of my feet the holy spirit crawled down from the top to the bottom and begin to fill me with power now at the time my girlfriend who was not saved never been to church was next to me and i all of a sudden i get baptized in the holy spirit in power and i start speaking in tongues tj didn't know anything about it i heard my parents one time as a kid speaking tongues i'm trying to cover my mouth because i don't want her to hear that what's coming out of my mouth but the power begin to flow this generator in my stomach this generator in my spirit begin to create power that began to speak out of me i'm telling you the baptism of the holy spirit is for everybody acts 2 39 the bible says that this promise of the holy spirit is to you to your children and to all those that are far away that have been called by the lord our god so here's what he's saying in acts the the the anointing the power the the holy spirit it's for everybody i've spoken over my children i prayed over all my kids when they were born lord baptize them in your power if john the baptist was baptized in the womb i've prayed over all my kids the lord baptized them in power how what gives me a legal right to pray that over my kids because acts 2 39 the promise is to your children i want to stop right here and speak over your kids that there's somebody here listening that you have a prodigal kid that is straight away you have a prodigal kid that has left the holy spirit left the things of god and right now i speak acts 2 39 that this promise is to your kids that the holy spirit is going to be released right now through this broadcast i don't care if they're in the crack house i don't care if they're in the house i don't care if they're playing church in god's house the holy spirit is going to begin to break in i prophesy over you that you're going to get a call and your drug addicted kid your drug addicted daughter is going to say mom at about 6 44 p.m pacific time i don't know what you were doing but all of a sudden the baptism and the power of the holy ghost friend i've heard testimonies of drug addicts getting knocked off their porch by the power of god as they were shooting up on their porch getting knocked on the ground shaking in the presence of god i believe that oh i feel the holy ghost tonight i believe that my encounter with god at that altar was because i had parents i had cousins i had sisters i had aunts and uncles that were praying for me and that baptism of power was prayers that were stored up in the heavenlies i believe right now that there's been some prayers that are stored up that god says i'm getting ready to release the baptism of the holy spirit if you have unsafe parents get ready for the baptism of the holy spirit to be released if you're a pastor i know there's many pastors watching right now get ready that when you show up on sunday morning get ready for the baptism of the holy spirit to break out when you show up on wednesday night get ready for the baptism of the holy spirit to break out ephesians 5 18 says don't get drunk on wine which is debauchery but be filled with the holy spirit friend i want to tell you tonight that the holy spirit is not a one-time feeling but god wants to fill you every day well how often should we get filled well i used to drink every day that's the question how often did you drink i used to drink every day so now i don't get drunk on wine i get drunk on the holy ghost the baptism of the holy spirit is a daily thing god wants to release it every person there's 800 of you watching every person is eligible right now every person there's no link to click there's no interview to do there's no form you have to fill out there's no line that you need to wait in there's no money that you need to pay i know some of you hear preachers say oh if you sow 25 you'll get a 25 anointing that's all blasphemy that's all demonic right now you don't need to sow a seed all you need to do is receive the baptism of the holy spirit i'm about to turn it over in a second matthew 7 11 i told you you're going to get too many verses tonight matthew 7 11 says if you evil parents know how to give good gifts how much more does the holy spirit want to the father want to give the holy spirit to them that ask how do i give the baptism of the holy spirit all you have to do is ask for it god says if you ask me if evil parents want to give their kids good gifts he says how much more does the father who's not evil who loves you more than you'll understand who's not mad at you but is madly obsessed and jealous for you says i tonight right now in this moment want to pour out the baptismal holy spirit you may be in church for 20 years like the lady i talked about earlier but tonight god says i'm going to release it right now for those that are hungry for they'll go for it tj for those that are desperate god is releasing the holy spirit baptism point number one we need the baptism the holy spirit if we're gonna walk in the power of god yeah and i think what you said is perfect because people think and they've been programmed because there has been slightly false teaching in this is that people think you have to you have to tarry to receive this and wait and sweat and beat yourself up until and people used to wear i know back in old pentecostal days they'd wear like they're how long they tarried as a badge of honor oh brethren i waited 18 years six months to receive the holy ghost i didn't give up and you know bless god you didn't give up but you don't have to wait 18 years and six months because when jesus said in luke 24 tarry in the city of jerusalem until you're clothed he was talking about the advent the coming of the holy ghost well here's the good news for you tonight when the holy ghost came in acts chapter 2 the bible doesn't say in acts chapter 3 and he went back up into heaven the same spirit that raised christ jesus from the dead came in acts chapter 2 and he came to stay and like isaiah said the promise this promise this promise this gift of the holy ghost is for you it is for your children it is for your children's children it is for as many as would call upon the name of the lord the only prerequisite that you have to have is are you saved if you're saved then you are qualified you are eligible to be next in line not to not you know you ask yes but then you receive isn't that the wonderful thing about asking we can ask father send the fill me with your spirit tonight but then you have to get in a in a faith to receive because if all you do is ask in doubt not expecting to be filled then you ain't going to get filled you'll be one of those who 12 years from now will still be asking and and hoping things will turn around no you have to ask and the bible says when you call unto me i will answer you have an expectation tonight that tonight's the night tonight's the night i'm getting baptized in the holy ghost tonight's the night i'm gonna start speaking in other tongues tonight's the night i'm changing levels in the power dimensions of god tonight's the night that the same way the holy ghost fell on them and they were filled and began to speak with other tongues that's the the same way is gonna come on me tonight tonight's the night where i'm leaving just like isaiah said treadmill religion and i'm gonna be strong in the lord and in the power of his mind it's not gonna be my my mind it's not going to be by my strength but by his spirit working in and through me i'm rising to take the place that god has for me on the earth in jesus name let me just say say this in uh the book of matthew chapter 26 i believe it is when jesus said now's the time where i'm gonna be transferred into the hands of of men and they're gonna bruise they're gonna beat me they're gonna kill me and crucify me and on the third day i'm gonna rise again when he said that peter stood up immediately and he said look even if all are made to stumble i will never stumble and jesus looked at him straight in the eye he said listen before the rooster crows you'll have denied me three times jesus peter looked him again and answered lord even if i have to go die for you i will not recant i will keep my faith i will not waver in my confession of who you are well the the idea was there the intention in peter was excellent it was good there are a lot of well-intentioned hearts in the church a lot of people want to serve god they want to quit uh their addiction they want to break free but like samson they've been tied by new ropes but the only thing that broke the ropes off samson's arms was the fire when it came the bible says his ropes were burnt as by fire the only way you're gonna excel the bible says you are to be strong in the lord that's not strong in your own self it's not strong in your own esteem it's not strong in your own positive thoughts and thinking it's strong in the lord there has to come a day where the power you get clothed with god's strength where the things that used to hold you down you break free from them so that look at peter peter had a good intention lord even if all are made to stumble i'm never going to stumble his heart was there but just having a good heart it's not gonna make you get through life just having a good heart there's a lot of people that have a good heart there's a lot of christians that die before their time they had a good heart there's a lot of christians that are suffering with pornography addiction and they have the heart lord i want to stop but the power the anointing is the one that lifts up the heavy burden and it breaks every yoke and the good news is is in zechariah 10 1 it doesn't say you know you have to wait for this latter rain of anointing no you are to ask ye for the rain in the time of the latter rain and god will make bright clouds to burst forth rain on you the bible says in the last days saith god everybody loves to focus on the devil's plans in the last days could you hear what this new society is doing this new organization is rising up you know oh man look what the devil's using that person to do if the devil can use a woman full of the devil to implement abortion loss throughout the united states margaret sanker the founder of planned parenthood if she full of the devil was able to change the shift of a nation of a people how much more shall we now in the last days as we are filled with power from on high be able to change the course of nations i know there's people watching me you god's not going to use it just to change your family god's not just going to use it to change your house god's not just going to use you to change your workplace god's calling on you to be used by him to change the course of regions states provinces and nations and you like esther you were born for time for such a time as this when peter said that the next chapter they come to him and they said aren't you the one that was with them aren't you the one that the one that was following you look like a nazarene you look like one of them a person from galilee and immediately i don't know him i don't know him i don't know him and a rooster crowed well acts chapter 2 he couldn't he couldn't confess christ in front of a little slave girl the bible says in front of a campfire but acts chapter 2 comes around and it's not just a couple of girls around him there's thousands of people in jerusalem that when the sound occurred the rushing mighty wind they all came and gathered to towards the upper room and the bible says it wasn't thomas that got up it wasn't uh you know john the apostle got up and said peter why don't you sit this one out you've caused enough damage it was people that stood up and in the face of people that 4 50 days ago had crucified christ nailed him to a tree and said if there's anyone else like him we'll do the same to them bunch of blasphemers peter stands up and says by the holy ghost men and brethren these men are not drunk as you suppose come on this is that there are some of you that are looking for that wow this is that which was prophesied by joel in the last days says god stop quit focusing and magnifying the devil's work in the last days well would you see what what the enemies do in the united states of america well seems like the rapture is really going to happen soon jesus must be coming back the bible says in the last days difficult times will come no in the last days though difficult times will come for the world god has a plan for his church and i'm of his i'm a member of that church and the plan for his church is isaiah 2 verse 1 through 4. in the last days the mountain of the lord shall be exalted above the mountains of the earth meaning god has a plan that to let your light shine in these last days in such a way that men will begin to scratch their heads and say man we've heard of christianity but i've never told heard it told the way you've told it i've heard of the power of god but i've never seen it at work there's a generation that they've only heard stories of their great grandparents and what they went through but a fresh generation is rising up judges 210 the generation rose up after joshua died who did not know the works that god had done for israel but god raised up judges there's a bunch of judges that were judges as deliverers god is raising up deliverers in this end time generation obadiah verse 21 and in the last days there shall be deliverers that come out of mount zion and the house of jacob shall possess their possessions god is releasing you tonight like a a hound dog you've been you've been wanting you've been crying out lord i want to do more i want to do more well the power to do more is coming on you just like it did for peter shied out from confessing christ in front of a little girl but then in front of thousands of men who could have had pitch forks and fire in their hand he stood up and boldly confessed christ and from that moment onward the bible says in the disciples the apostles boldly spoke in the name of the lord and when the threats came they gathered together again and they didn't stop again baptized once they said lord take note of their threats and grant that we now receive a fresh infilling of the holy ghost so that we may continue to boldly and confidently speak the word just as you've called us to do you remember some of you are watching now you started off well you had that love for god i mean you endured persecution you endured suffering when your family abandoned you but somewhere along the line around the along the line something happened you got discouraged you got disappointed and so that fire that initial first love anointing you had has weaned out well ephesians says jesus said to the church of ephesus remember from where you have fallen and begin to do the works you did it first and the first love flame will come back on your altar in the name of jesus yes this is what we're going to do if you have never been baptized in the holy spirit or you have been or i'm going to have tj right now pray for the baptism of the holy spirit someone said their phone is about to catch on fire one guy said i'm standing in front of my tv shouting right now we are going to pray for the baptism of the holy spirit right now for those that have never spoken tongues for those that have never been baptized we are guys we are not here for information we are here for demonstration we've already given you about 30 plus verses and we're still on our number one way to unlock the power of god i believe tonight god is going to baptize those of you that have never been baptized everything is going to change tonight and i believe for those that have been baptized i'm believing it for myself god is going to re-baptize you we know that the baptism is not a one-time thing we know that jesus blew the holy spirit on the disciples and then in the upper room some of those disciples got filled for a second time and then there was going to be a continual filling throughout the book of acts and tonight there is a fresh filling coming to you right now this is not for your neighbor this is not for your co-worker this is not oh i really wish my cousin was watching this tonight god is speaking directly to you and saying i want to fill you up fresh by the power of the holy spirit so i'm going to have tj pray and we're going to receive i want you to be in a mode to receive all you have to do is ask it's been given it's a promise we don't have to wait as tj said for 10 days in the upper room it is available we have full access backstage passes into all things that god has given us in heavenly places we are seated with christ in heavenly places and i believe tonight as tj prays we're going to receive the baptism some of you that have been praying for years and here's what i want to say some of you say well i've already prayed for this 100 times i want you to pray tonight receive tonight as if you've never prayed for it before we are not going to build a case against god as to why we haven't received it in the past because today is a new day now's the day of salvation and his mercies are fresh every single day and so i want you to go into this thinking listen i've never asked for this i've never gotten prayer for this tonight god wants to do it fresh and for those of you that say oh i had a camp meeting back in 1997 i got filled with the holy ghost well guess what it's 20 20 and tonight god wants to fill you fresh refill you with the power of the holy spirit let's just go for it tj that's right and like he said it's something you have to receive now as we pray when peter went to cornelius's household he preached and the holy ghost fell on them as they heard the word of god preached these were people who just got saved they had just heard the gospel so if you think you need to work yourself up come on you know there's some things i need to clean up in my life before i get this you know there's some relationships i have to cut off before i get into this you know those are all good things but you'll never even have the power to cut those relationships up until the holy ghost comes on you to empower you to do that so you're not waiting to get right it isn't come you know come as you are stay as you are leave as you are it's come as you are but then god's gonna do something to you tonight where you won't leave as you are and you'll leave this broadcast saying exactly what that old song says i've got just what i wanted from the lord so wherever you are i want you to lift your hands and and in sincerity of heart with expectation built off what the word of god from our mouths just preached to you i mean we just spent what an hour 45 minutes on point one there's the overload of the word the bible says as they heard the word something came in their heart to receive the power of the holy ghost and you want to know how important the holy ghost is when p philip went down to samaria and preached christ to them they received the word they were saved but when the disciples the apostles at jerusalem heard that the word of god had been preached and the samaritans had received the word they sent peter and john who when they had come they prayed that they might receive the holy spirit and when they prayed there was no tossing or turning or struggling if there's not a struggle anything you have to really struggle for it's probably not from god you just receive just lift up your hands now and i'm gonna pray and as i do just say father i thank you whatev i thank you that i received that river of life flowing out of me from today in jesus name father i pray those that are hungry those that are thirsty those that have tuned in tonight with expectation father built up by your word lord not willing to remain the same way they've been for all these years but are expecting a change of level that are hungry that like your word says in first corinthians that they're earnestly coveting an increase in the measure of god at work in their life i pray father right now let the spout of heaven be aimed their way and pour out your spirit afresh and a new father that as they receive this gift of the holy ghost lord that they would speak in tongues and that it wouldn't end there that would just be the initiation that from this day forward as they begin to walk in that power that just like peter where he went the shadow of peter began to heal the sick i pray let a heightened dimension of your power be at work on your body today that those that have mocked them those that have criticized their dedication to god would have to scratch their head and turn their question from where is their god to show me where your god is in the name of jesus christ right where you're watching right now be filled with the holy ghost and fire in jesus name receive ye the holy ghost right now in jesus name in the name of jesus amen i want you guys to have you received it for the first time tonight i want you to message me on my facebook page so that next week when we come back we can share the testimonies and i could post testimonies of all those that receive the holy spirit man tj we talked about this earlier when we said we're gonna give some points we're gonna give some insight and some things for them to write down and we said we're gonna we're gonna probably go long it's probably gonna take us a little while but we're gonna run through this here number one is the baptist holy spirit unlocking the power number two if you want to unlock the power of god in your life there's no way around this this to me is the most important thing a believer has and that is prayer number two is prayer there has to be a life of prayer there has to be a lifestyle of prayer we are not preaching about prayer meetings we're not talking about once a year we're not talking about once a week or once a month going to a prayer meeting but there has to be a lifestyle of prayer in your life if you are prayerless i'm telling you tonight then you are powerless prayer is to your spirit i want you to write this prayer is to your spirit what oxygen is to your physical body you have to understand that prayer is the oxygen to your spirit man this has to be your life source this has to be where you get to a place this is how you know if you have a powerful prayer life you can't survive without prayer guys you have to understand isaiah saldivar could not go a day without prayer well brother i'm busy i'm this paul was the busiest man in history and paul said i pray without ceasing jesus had only three years of ministry if i was jesus i would have called the tv stations i would have got the mass crusades i would have spent every effort trying to gather people and get people to preach yet jesus would spend hours all night long in prayer meeting we're constantly seeing jesus escaping the crowd to pray you are not listen this is a lie from the devil we're going to dispel it tonight you are not too busy to pray the thing is if you would begin to pray you wouldn't spend so much time at your job in your marriage with your kids chasing your tail because god is saying if you develop a prayer life a thousand other issues will be solved matthew 6 6 jesus says that the way that we pray is in the secret place he says shut the door and pray to your father who is in secret you know tj most people say well i could never find god i don't know where god is there is only one place i've said this many times in the bible where it tells god's geographical dwelling place on earth there's one place that the bible says god dwells on the earth in the actual or on earth god dwells and jesus gives us insight in matthew 6 6 and says that's in the secret place friend do you know that god actually lives on the earth in the secret place and every one of us have access to shut the door i don't believe it's just the physical door but what i believe jesus was saying was there is a door in your mind and when you pray you need to shut that door every time you begin to pray there's distractions every time you begin to pray you're thinking about what you're going to do tomorrow what you're going to eat and jesus says shut the door of distractions philippians 4 6 the bible says don't be anxious about anything but instead pray about everything and let your requests be known to god how many know we live in a generation of anxiety if i asked in the chat who's dealing with there's 850 of you watching and i said if you're dealing with anxiety type one now i'm not asking you to do it but i'm saying if i asked you there would be hundreds of people dealing with anxiety dealing with anxiety attacks but this is what the bible says we do to break anxiety and that's to pray about everything what should i pray about should i just pray about my marriage should i just pray about my family should i just pray about my kids and here's what the bible says pray about everything i've often heard people say well you don't need to pray about everything brother you could make decisions on your own but the bible says that if you want to break out of anxiety if you're tired of being anxious you need to pray about everything you need to pray about where you're going pray about where you're working pray about the ministry you're involved in pray about the person that you marry pray about where your kids go to school pray about what sports your kids enroll in we when we decide to do something if we're going to put my daughter in this or put my daughter in that i need to pray about it say lord is this your will oh isaiah don't be so over spiritual friend you know there's nowhere in the bible where it says don't be too spiritual yet over and over and over the bible says that we are too carnal i believe that prayer is a key to unlocking the power of god in your life we need to develop a life of prayer james 5 16 says the prayer of a righteous person has power when you're walking in the righteousness that jesus afforded to you on the cross there is power when you begin to pray the bible says in matthew 26 41 that prayer keeps you from temptation jesus told the disciples to watch and pray so you won't enter into temptation friend prayer we're giving you guys like 100 sermons tonight prayer shuts the door on temptation temptation is always knocking it's always lurking it's always trying to get in and the bible makes it clear that prayer is the way that we shut the door of temptation i've often taught tj that one of the ways that you get your prayers answered are not through having a great relationship with jesus although that does help but is by shameless persistence the bible talks about the parable of the woman bugging the judge which represents a believer praying the judge being god and it says the reason why the judge answers her prayers is because she won't stop bugging him friend you have to understand oftentimes our prayers get answered because we're shameless that's why the man at midnight got his prayer answered because he would not stop bugging his friend somebody right now needs to realize that god answers prayers based on shameless persistence we need to begin to pray and pray until we don't just pray one time many of you in the chap are saying well god hasn't answered this prayer i've been praying for my son i've been praying for my daughter i've been praying for my marriage and nothing's happened but then you need to stop and ask yourself what does your prayer life look like and what does your netflix life look like and what you're going to find is we oftentimes spend five minutes praying for a friend or family member once a week but then we'll spend four to eight hours a day on social media on on television and then we're mad at god on why our prayers are not prevailing and the bible says it's because you're not asking it's because you're not knocking some of you are doorbell ditching god and wondering why he's not answering your prayers some of you are asking one time and wondering why he's not answering your prayers and the bible says you're praying a miss but you need to be like the person that's bugging the judge you need to be like the man at midnight that's pleading saying i need bread a friend has come that's hungry i'm telling you right now somebody needs to get shameless and persistent prayer is a key to unlocking spiritual power jesus said the demon this type of demon this level of demon only comes by that of prayer and fasting another word jesus was saying there's a level of power that you can only tap into by the place of prayer if you don't have a prayer life you will you will live powerless in the spiritual realm this is key to unlocking and going to that next level of power in the spirit that's right and until you are fed up where something gets in your heart where it's enough is enough you're never gonna have that come on that's why prayer has to be built your expectation and prayer your desire to pray will be built based on your knowledge of the scriptures wow because if you don't see sickness as demonic if you don't see your children not serving the lord is not god's will for your family if you don't understand what like ephesians says do not um do not walk as unwise men or as fools but walk circumspectively understanding the days redeeming the times but understanding the days being of an understanding heart if you don't understand what the will of the lord is that's what it says understand what the will of the lord is don't be a fool but understand what the will of the lord is if you don't understand what god's will is concerning the situation that you're facing you're never going to get desperate for prayer that's why i so you know i love that story of the woman with the issue of blood because she the bible doesn't say that you know jesus walked her way that day and he had it in his schedule to meet with her and he he ended up healing her it was all haphazard and totally random the bible says that there was a woman who had suffered many years at the hands of many uh physicians but finally she got to a point where she was fed up and she heard about jesus she heard that's why we're taking time to preach the word because as the word gets in you it builds up expectation not only for what god can do not only for what god will do but for what god will do for you she heard about jesus she heard about how he went about doing good healing all that were oppressed of the devil she heard about how jesus was no not a man to show partiality or favoritism that the bible says everyone that touched the hem of his garment were made well to as many as reach forward and touched him were made perfectly whole as many as came to him were healed that day and great multitudes followed him and he healed them there she heard that jesus wasn't making up excuses like modern ministers do that when people don't get healed well sometimes god says yes sir no his will was always yes and amen first corinthians all the promises of god our second corinthians all the promises of god are yes and amen in christ jesus that built something in her that when she came to where jesus was now understand a woman with an issue of blood if she was cat in public by jewish law she was to be stoned on the spot because she was declared unclean she was declared uh unfit to to live in society so and she didn't she wasn't crying out unclean unclean so someone of her status was to be stoned shot on the spot but something came in her where she said if i perish i perish i refuse to live another day like this i'm not putting up with the devil's crap in my life another day i'm not just the anointing god did not come so that we can endure life jesus came so we can enjoy life and she pressed through the crowd and she touched the hem of his garment and when she did jesus stopped in his tracks and looked back and said who touched me somebody touched me with faith for i perceived power flowed from me a lot of people they do like isaiah said they have these like little three-minute cute kinder surprise prayers that they do all the time there's no hunger there's no desire elijah when he prayed for rain to fall the bible notes that his head was between his knees you want to talk about desperation he prayed so much he gave himself like a back problem he kept praying and he asked the servant go out and check is there any rain no sir there's no rain well he prayed again some people they pray once and expect something to happen and nothing happens and they get discouraged and just throw the baby out the bathwater i'm here to tell you like that widow isaiah said you are to pray until something happens there has to be a push in your spirit without a press there can be no prize paul said in philippians that i press towards the goal there has to be a pressing in your spirit a wrestling jacob in genesis the bible says he met with god and he wrestled with god and god said hey daybreak is coming let me alone i got stuff to do i got many other things to do today jacob said hey i'm not going to let you go man i feel like just come on come on i'm not going to let you go until you bless me are there any people here tonight that are not gonna let go until they start to see the visible tangible blessing of god flowing in their life the blessing of god's not reserved for a few special individuals if you've called on the name of the lord if your name is written in heaven god's blessing is for you but there has to be a wrestling in that prayer closet and your father who sees you in secret shall himself reward you openly and you know tj i don't know i'm so excited because so many people that just got filled with the holy spirit are now going to begin to pray in the spirit this is something that when many people ask well how do you pray for extended amounts of time for me tj and you can share on this i pray this is just me 80 to 90 of my prayer life is praying in the holy spirit 80 to 90 of my prayer time ephesians 6 18 says to pray in the spirit on all occasions with all types of prayers with this in mind to be alert and to always pray for god's people pray in the spirit on all occasions jude 1 20 says by building yourself up in your holy faith by praying in the spirit now some of you listen are much more in shape it looks like to me tj you've been working out but some of you are much more in shape than i am but what you need to understand about praying in the spirit is that praying in the spirit is how your spirit man works out the way that spirit man works out is by praying the holy spirit according to jude 1 20. romans 8 26 paul says that the spirit helps us in our weakness when we don't know what to pray for the spirit intercedes himself through us with wordless groans so if you get to a place as tj saying where you don't know what to pray there's a hunger there's a desperation and you say god there's a million things i could pray for in english right now i don't even know where to begin the bible says that the praying in the spirit the spirit begins to pray out of you and how many know the most powerful thing about praying in the spirit is when the spirit prays out of you the spirit does not pray with unbelief the spirit does not pray with doubt the spirit is not hindered in its prayers but the spirit knows the perfect will of god because the bible does say that the spirit searches out the spirit and knows the deep things of god so your spirit reveals the deep mysteries of god as you pray in the holy spirit god reveals tj when i'm preparing to preach when i'm preparing for tuesday night when i'm preparing for friday night i'm praying in the holy ghost as i'm reading the word i'm praying in the holy ghost and oftentimes people say well how are you guys getting these revelations how are you flowing like this how are you preaching like this how do you guys preach this way it's the holy ghost that's prays through us that unlocks the mysteries of god that unlocks the secrets of god the secrets of the spirit and begins to reveal them to people pastor i want to say this you will never lead a powerful effective church if you don't have a prayer life and you're not praying and calling out to god and praying in the spirit and saying lord i need to pray i can't survive without prayer i can't afford to not pray a thousand other issues are solved when you get in the place of prayer i'm sorry i cut you off t.j as you were talking no go ahead go ahead man i love listening to you preach but and you're absolutely you're absolutely right if a pastor doesn't even have a prayer meeting in his church come on prayer engine of a church and and i remember i remember one of the first sermons i heard you preach isaiah this is why i knew i'd like you because you were preaching i don't it was a pretty sizable church and you were preaching and just like nailing it in and everyone was up and clapping and and lifting their hands and everything and he says and then you ended up saying um preaching has been made the idol of america and people have abandoned prayer and he said you know how i know that because if tonight was advertised as a prayer meeting none of you would be here and the whole crowd just everybody sat down everyone just sat down like ooh yeah he's right but it's absolutely true i mean you do you announce a prayer meeting you announce that like third day is coming to your church and like everybody just in groves let's talk it out you know in the 1960s and 70s when you had the voice of healing revival when people were getting raising out of wheelchairs people were like uh getting healed of all kinds of cancers and multiple cirrhosis everything you can name they if you went to a local bookstore a christian bookstore it wouldn't be laced with all kinds of uh christian concerts it was announcing revival meetings the men of god coming to town prayer meetings now you go to some christian i was in one not two a couple maybe a couple of years ago and i remember looking at the wall and it was just all concerts and concerts and i'm not against concerts i'm not against christian concerts prayer meetings come on but philip did not go down to samaria and take out a banjo or a guitar and start singing hymns over the city of samaria he went and he preached christ unto the people and the people gravitated not because of philip's eloquence and speech but because they saw the miracles which he did perform for many that were taken with policy and were paralyzed and lame were healed and then great joy came as a result of that revival there had but that came as a result of prayer john wesley used to say that i believe that god will do nothing on the earth until a man prays another quote from john wesley he said uh man cannot without god and god will not without man man cannot without god and god will not without man that's why in james chapter 4 it says you have not because you haven't asked wow you haven't asked and when you do ask you ask a miss what does that mean you either you ask you you didn't ask properly he either asked an unbelief which james 1 says if any man asks for anything and does not believe but doubts in his heart he's like the ways of the sea tossed to and fro let not that man expect to receive anything from the lord the bible literally says don't expect anything if you pray that way you have not because you ask not some people they don't ask in faith other people you're not asking based on the word of god isaiah 43 26 put me in remembrance of my word state bring forth your strong reasons from my word so that you might be acquitted the reason why daniel had an encounter with that angel was because he had read the scroll of the prophet jeremiah and he saw that the 70 years of captivity are over some of you are still in captivity because you haven't read the manual that tells you the prison doors have been opened not two thousand years from now two thousand years ago he disarmed principalities and and he made a public show of them openly having triumphed at the cross over them so that when you read that you then bring that to god lord you said if i serve you you'll bless my bread and my water and take sickness out of my midst this sickness in this body is not legally allowed to stay here you already laid on christ every sickness that i feel in this body and satan can no longer lay on me what you already laid on christ jesus went by his stripes we were healed therefore father i come to you in with your word the ammunition of prayer is the word of god start to load up your gun some people you can ask them what do you must fall in my chair he'll give you a list of symptoms of everything not working in their body they'll they've memorized every problem the devil's thrown their way since the early 70s but then you asked them well what scripture are you standing on for breakthrough oh well brethren i just know god will do it that's not faith that's not faith knowing that god will do it is not faith that's why when jesus came to that blind man and he asked him what do you want me to do for you what do you want me to do for you the guy could have said i'm blind what do you think you i want you to do for me but jesus did it specifically because he needed him to have a specific confession as to what demand he was placing on his word he had to put a demand on the word prayer is putting a demand on the word and james 5 says and i'll pass it over to you after this james 5 says that the prayer of a righteous man brings forth wonderful results when you put a demand when you sow in prayer galatians 5 god will not be mocked god will not be mocked galatians 6 those who sow to the spirit and those who sow in prayer will reap a harvest of miraculous extraordinary supernatural results that nobody you know what the definition of a miracle is can't explain it that's what a miracle is something god does for you where you can't explain it where people start to get around you and say how did this happen how did this happen and all you can say is when the lord brought me back from captivity design i'm just like one who laughs i'm just here to feed on what god puts in front of me and you will taste and see of that goodness from today onward in jesus name as you bow your head and pray whoo bro we need to we need to have another show we need to launch our fourth type of show with just tj and isaiah power hour because this is this is i'm getting rocky man i'm about to fall to my chair as you're preaching okay so number one we went through was baptism holy spirit number two was prayer if you're taking notes or giving you five ways to unlocking or increasing the power of god in your life number three is by fasting i was thinking about fasting today and i was thinking about in matthew 6 16 where jesus says when you fast don't look all gloomy like the pharisees so they'll be seen by others but do it in secret when you're fasting guys one of the keys to unlocking the power of god in fasting is to not walk around telling everybody how starving you are is to not walk around telling everybody how miserable you are i'm the type of person listen when i'm i i hardly eat as it is i eat about once a day if that my biggest struggle in life is having to eat i cannot stand eating if you know me you know that i'm 130 pounds because i just do not like to eat but i'll tell you one thing there is power when you begin to fast and you don't begin to tell everybody you don't begin to walk around say oh my mouth is so dry oh i can't wait till midnight oh i'm starving it's the same as praying in secret there is breakthrough when you fast and you fast in secret i'm gonna give you a couple ways i'm gonna turn up to tj he has some great stuff on this but one of the reasons why we fast as well is to get guidance one of the reasons why and i'm giving you just personal experience here one of the reasons why i fast at times is to get god's guidance on a situation and judges 20 26 they were seeking an answer and the bible says they all begin to fast and inquire of the lord one of the ways that we fast biblically is to seek guidance or an answer in a situation if you're about to get into a relationship if you're about to launch a new ministry if you're about to get a new job if you're about to do something and you're seeking the lord's guidance you do a fast now there's many types of fast people preach on i'm just gonna tell you the way i preach it tj you can share how you share it i teach that fasting is no food just water that's how i teach okay i don't talk much about daniel fast or this or that i speak on fasting because when i read the bible and i look at biblical fasting i see not eating just drinking water now i'm not saying be legalistic i'm not saying you can't have orange juice or apple juice or smoothie i'm not getting into legalism here i'm just saying biblical fasting there's more power when you line yourself up the word of god and realize that fasting which meaning is meaning to close your mouth is to not eat so that's one reason why another reason why i fast and i believe biblically fast is to seek deliverance or protection in second chronicles 20 they did a corporate fast for deliverance from their enemies when we're doing deliverance ministry and we schedule a deliverance this is different than altar deliverance i tell people it would be good to do a two to three day fast before you come in for a deliverance because biblically deliverance is great when you're seeking uh fasting is great when you're seeking deliverance or divine protection now i've been doing some fasting because i've been preaching a lot on spiritual warfare now i'm not into those preachers it's like if you preach on spiritual warfare you'll constantly be under attack but i do know there's no such thing as going to war punching the enemy and the enemy not trying to attack back so i'm aware that we're in a wrestling match that we are at war against spiritual powers and so oftentimes when i'm fasting i'm targeting the fast and i'm doing this for deliverance or doing it for protection another reason i believe is powerful to fast is for overcoming temptation this is found in matthew 4 when jesus fasted hello 40 days in the wilderness and overcame the temptation of the enemy so another reason why i believe fasting is so essential in the life of the believer especially for the generation that we live in right now is to overcome temptation fasting closes the door fasting gives you supernatural power over temptation and if you're fasting and not praying you're just dieting so one of the things i always teach on is that while we're fasting we also should be supplementing the fast with prayer when i fast i'm going okay lord i'm locking in with you oftentimes tj when i travel and preach i won't eat all day long even live streams oftentimes i'll just drink a juice or something small and then at the end of the preaching at the end of whatever it was then i'll go ahead and eat something i'll break the fast because i'm fasting with a purpose i'm not just randomly fasting although that's a great thing as well but when i fast i fast with purpose so i say lord i'm gonna dedicate i'm gonna fast i'm gonna sacrifice for this reason for this reason and the same way we pray and we target that's why the bible says don't pray amiss we target our prayers i'm also targeting my fasting i know if you want to share some about fasting as well but number three is unlocking spiritual power is is fasting yeah well jesus first of all did not say if you fast he said when you fast so fasting is not optional either to live a life of overwhelming victory over the enemy you have to be committed to a lifestyle of fasting in prayer when jesus took peter james and john to the mount of transfiguration and they weren't eating you know how long does it take to climb a mountain stay there have an encounter with god that was a fast they were on they didn't eat and a great they had a great manifestation of god's power and glory when they got down from that mountain they came in contact with their disciples disputing with some of the people because a man had brought their his son to their disciples asking them to cast the devil out of him but they could not the disciple says we could not cast it out not that they would not understand this mark chapter 9 chronologically is after mark chapter 3. mark chapter 3 verse 14 he called his 12 disciples to be with him that he might send them out to preach and to cast out devils and heal the sick and they went mark 6 2 says that they were going everywhere and they were casting out devils and anointing with all those that were sick and healing them but mark chapter 9 comes around and the bible says that they come in contact with a case that was too much for them to handle and they were scratching their heads wondering why could we not cast it out jesus gets on the scene and he says you faithless perverse generation bring the boy to me when they did immediately he cast out the devil the boy was sitting in his right mind and his disciples came to him shame-faced after privately asking him why couldn't we do it and jesus said because i'm jesus and you're not come on t.j jesus said because this kind cometh not out except through fasting and prayer judges 20 the children of israel go to war against the benjamin the benjaminites or whatever it was however else you would say the people of benjamin come on and they go to war once they inquire of the lord lord should we because benjamin had lost their minds they were offering sacrifice to idols they had totally dis disengaged from god's purpose for their for their tribe and stuff so israel goes to war to subdue them to get them back into check and the the people of benjamin were 26 000 soldiers trained soldiers israel inquires of the lord lord should we go and fight he said yes go ahead they go defeated they come back confused lord you told us to go should we go yes and send judah first they go defeat it finally the bible says in judges 20 then they fasted until daybreak that day and the following day they inquired of the lord and the lord said go and i will now give you possession of the land uh uh i'll now give you the victory over over benjamin when prayer by itself doesn't seem to be pushing through there seems to be a block daniel for 21 days fasted and when the angel came he said from the very first day your prayer was heard so don't think your prayer is not being heard but we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers in heavenly force in heavenly places and the bible says there was a demon prince over the air of persia that was restricting the answer to daniel's prayer but as he coupled in fasting with his prayer it released angelic intervention so that gabriel can deliver the message to daniel some of you you have a pipeline and there's a bunch of plumbing that needs to be take that needs to take place so that your prayer can flow freely from the 50 000 gallon tank of god's power into where you need it to go that's what fasting does some of you have tiny tiny pipelines and so even if god is all powerful and all great and has 50 000 liters or gallons of water backing and all that water is available to you because you have a tiny tiny quarter inch pipeline though there's all that power there's only a little bit of power coming through your pipeline fasting actually it enlarges it enlarges your capacity it spreads out it increases the diameter of that pipeline so that the water can flow more freely through you that's why the bible says we have a treasure in this earthen vessel we have a treasure the holy ghost is in here the power of god you know fasting doesn't give you more of the holy ghost you already have the holy ghost fasting breaks down the flesh the barrier so that the holy ghost can freely move through you and and and for your for your favor so unless fasting takes place if all you do is is um is fast it's dieting isaiah said fasting without prayer is like c4 without a detonator you need to mix them up and when it does it produces explosive increase i can tie it in and i know the same's for you you can tie in every major breakthrough that this ministry has had can be tied to a significant fast that i've gone on every single breakthrough esther when she was to approach the king she went and ate no ate no food and drank no water for three days and ordered all of israel to do the same so that when she went before the king the king without an appointment wasn't like today you can get an appointment with someone without even scheduling you can just walk in and the worst thing that happens is they send you out no if you came in without an appointment in esther's day you were there was like a guard that stood by the king that would strike you dead when she fasted and prayed the bible says that it gave her favor with the king that's another thing fasting will do israel put a favor on you like it did for daniel when the king of babylon began to see that there's man these there's daniel shadrach meshach and abednego they're 10 times wiser than anyone else look at joseph god was with him and blessed him and he prospered and continued prospering until he was very prosperous that favor comes on you when you fast and you pray it it's like when you hang around a restaurant that that cooks fried food and a lot of fried food and you leave that place and people can smell fried food on you when you hang around god in fasting and prayer they'll start to the bible says when isaac blessed jacob he said you're gonna carry the scent of a blessed field that scent of a blessing that blessing aroma comes on you when you fast and pray so like when paul said in second corinthians chapter two that you'll be an aroma of life to those that are seeking life and then the devil when he gets in your way you'll be an aroma to the devil of death leading to his death so good i was thinking tj about matthew 9 14 where john's disciples come to jesus and say why don't your disciples fast and jesus says how can the bridegroom mourn while i'm here the time is coming where i will leave and they will begin to fast so another thing i always teach people is for fasting it restores the presence of god back in your life it removes the distance jesus said when i'm with you this close you don't need to fast but i'm going to leave and that fasting is going to restore that presence in your life so fasting is a restoration i believe of the presence of god and i want to challenge you guys as we move on here to do a fast do a one day me and tj were talking earlier don't try to do a 40 day fast food only do a one day then do a two day do then do a three day and then go ahead and develop a a a fasting lifestyle some of people in the chat were saying what if i'm nursing what if i'm pregnant me and tj teach the same thing we always tell people now my wife has been pregnant i have four kids so she's been pregnant for like 10 years but i always tell people if you're pregnant or nursing don't fast you need to use wisdom god is not calling you to get sick god is not calling to you to be unhealthy but it is very biblical to begin to fast but i will say this if you're if you're nursing or you're pregnant don't stress out about fasting don't be legalistic okay number three is fasting number four we're gonna go we're not having much longer we got two more guys we'll go through these quick i know none of you are in a hurry okay you're all still on here number four to unlocking the power of god in your life write this down is exercising spiritual gifts this is one thing people don't realize about spiritual gifts is that spiritual gifts grow when you exercise them you have to put yourself this is so vital you have to put yourself in positions to be able to exercise your spiritual gifts the gifts of the spirit are like muscles they will never grow if they're not exercised it's painful at times to exercise spiritual gifts but just like muscles it's necessary there's times guys where you're going to mess up the prophecy there's times where the gift of faith is not going to work out the way that you wanted it where it's going to fall flat and you're feeling like you're going to fail but you have to understand that it's necessary it's all part of the process first corinthians 14 paul says to earnestly desire and this is my favorite translation earnestly desire the special abilities that the spirit gives out desire the spiritual gifts if you want spiritual gifts you cannot be passive you cannot be stagnant you cannot be sitting around on the couch expecting spiritual gifts to knock you over the head some of you are waiting for the spiritual gifts to be given to you but you have to realize you need to earnestly desire them you now how do we desire gifts okay desiring the spiritual gifts is the same way you desire anything else you don't wait around if you desire something you don't wait around to get it or for someone to bring it to you you pursue it when you desired your wife what did you do you pursued her when you desire a new car what did you do you start asking everybody well how does that car drive what brand is it you start making phone calls you start doing research if you're a nerd like me if i buy anything you know if my wife's probably laughing everything i buy tj i say well have you read the reviews have you done the research i go on youtube i start researching this type of camera when i bought my camera slider i did uh hours of research on all the different sliders all the different reviews gathering information i started asking i started seeking out this is what you do with spiritual gifts you need to pursue them you need to search them out you need to start reading verses about them if you're if you're wondering first corinthians 12 through 14 romans 12 ephesians 4 those are the three main areas if you're seeking spiritual gifts that you should be studying you should be devouring you should be reading you should be reading the book of acts you should be getting to pray and being consistent being earnest getting books listening to testimonies and then start walking out the gifts start practicing the gifts i tell people the best way to exercise your gifts are on your family members start praying and prophesying over your family members over your parents over your kids over your loved ones one of the things i love about deliverance tj is deliverance is a great way to exercise spiritual gifts in deliverance we use the gift of discerning and deliverance we use the gift of knowledge in deliverance we use the gift of faith and so deliverance is a great a great way to exercise spiritual gifts one thing i always have in my mind and i'll turn it back over to you is that when i'm lit going throughout my life whether it's ministry whether it's life giving myself opportunities putting myself in a place where i can exercise my gifts so in other words if i'm praying for the sick and i go lay hands on a sick person i'm putting myself in a position to exercise the gift of miracles to exercise the gift of faith but if you're living your life never putting yourself out there and being uncomfortable you'll never give that muscle an opportunity to grow and to exercise so number four i believe is exercising i'll turn it over if you want to say something about this but exercising spiritual gifts unlocks the power of god yeah and i'll say you know first corinthians 12 1 starts with now concerning spiritual gifts or the things of the spirit i would not have you ignorant wow so if you want to operate in the gifts of the spirit you you can't be ignorant you'll never operate and never take advantage of and never uh flow in something you don't even know is available to you and if you've not sat under that gifting before you know lester sumrall who wrote the book where we find much of our modern day theology for the gifts of the spirit and the ministries of the holy spirit called the gifts and ministries of the holy spirit by lisa sumrall he sat under howard carter howard carter was in a prison cell in england because of conscientious uh objection he he refused to go to war because he said god called me to preach he didn't call me to go to war when world war ii was going on so they put him in a prison cell he said can i have a bible they said sure so in that time in the span of how many years four years three years he was in there he just read the word studied and the lord gave him revelation on the gifts of the spirit and there was one day not only did he give him the theological aspect of the gifts of the spirit but a practical god will teach you how to practically walk in this oral roberts was practically taught by the holy spirit you know the bible says the spirit when he comes he'll teach you everything he'll teach you how to operate he'll teach you how to cooperate with him and work for his glory oral roberts had a visitation of heaven and the spirit told him every time your hand gets hot as you minister to the sick know that there's a demon spirit at work in that person and you're not dealing with a sick person but you're dealing with a spirit of infirmity you have to cast it out but if that doesn't happen then know that you just pray regularly for for for the person to be healed so he would he was taught by the holy ghost how to operate in discerning of that's what discerning of spirits is he learned how to discern the spirits by the operation and the teaching of the holy ghost himself so the bible says you're not to be ignorant howard carter study taught was learned uh by the spirit throughout those years and then one day he was he was on his like cot that they gave him in prison and a drop of water kept falling on his forehead from the ceiling every single like five seconds and he got so fed up and he told the lord lord this thing is driving me insane and the lord and he said please remove it and the lord spoke to him i just talked to you about the gift of faith now use and exercise that gift in a practical way command that drop of water to not drop again so in that prison cell howard carter you know a great man of god was the general superintendent of the assemblies of god in all of uh great britain back in the day he commanded he said you drop of water no longer drop from the ceiling and this sounds crazy but the water bead that had dropped the last drop formed again came off his forehead and went back up and from the the the duration of that time he was in jail he never had another problem with the drops of water lester charm charmelo sat under those gifts lester sumrall when nobody was going to see smith wigglesworth preach when nobody was going to see smith wigglesworth in his home the last two years of his life when he was not really on the road as much and wasn't as famous as he used to be lester sumrall found out where his address was and he would go and visit him every 10 days at least while he spent time in england and he sat under the gift and he said the guy was not normal because he walked in the first time had his newspaper under his his uh arm and a and a nice uh umbrella and smith wigglesworth opened the door and his dress this dress can be i mean he had always a suit on his hair comb and he looked at leicester summer and said what's that under your arm in his british accent and he said that's a newspaper uh smith wigglesworth looked him and said throw that out in the trash this is a house of god in a house of truth no lies will cross its door so he did that he spent that day the first five minutes uh 30 minutes smith wigglesworth opened up his bible and began to read the scriptures to him then after that he closed it and he said let's pray prayed for 30 minutes after he did he opened up his bible again read another 30 minutes of scripture expounded and exhorted closed his bible and began to pray for 30 minutes then they went and had lunch after lunch without even saying a word he got up and reclined to his his uh bedroom and lester was there and like uh talking to his daughter alice alice uh should i stay should i go he said oh he's not coming back he's gone to bed for for the rest of the day uh you can pretty much leave so he got up and left and he said as i left that place i was wondering what in the world did i just get myself into but he said as i turned the corner of wigglesworth street i realized there was an impartation wow there was something i received from that even if i couldn't put it together and i thought it was the weirdest encounter i ever had there was an impartation paul said i long to be with you so that i might impart some spiritual gift for you so that coveting that pursuing the bible says desire fervently it's from the greek word zelu which i don't know if i'm pronouncing it well but zilu which means to burn for passion with passion for to pursue adamantly to not to persist until you acquire that word is to to fervently burn for the bible doesn't say like isaiah said it's just gonna fallen no you have to covet earnestly there's one area in the whole bible where god says it's okay to covet and it's with the spiritual gifts why do you covet how do you pursue how do you show god i'm hungry number one fasting prayer number two locate people that are on the earth that are operating in the gift you desire to be used and proficiently if you desire to to be used in the working of miracles there are people across the globe we don't have to look back in time and study i mean it's good to study men of god that god raised up but there are people here on the earth that are working miracles in our midst there are people here on the earth that have the word of knowledge so keen and so precise and accurate that if you'll sit under that some an impartation you might not understand everything but it'll come on you that the next time like it happened to me the next time i was in a service after sitting under a gift like that i was approaching someone called someone out of the crowd because i just saw them like kind of highlighted and so i i set them apart and as i approached them i had nothing to say i didn't know what i was going to pray as i approached them all of a sudden it's like i had just taken up their portfolio on the last 10 years of their life and what every problem they had they had oc you can't tell if someone has ocd or anxiety or something or or bipolar depression just by looking at them that if you go out and give a word like that and you're wrong you're good people are going to know you're wrong but something just came in me where i knew their daily schedule the pills they were taking everything and that woman who had never been to church before just like the bible says that when you operate in the gifts of the spirit they will report that god is truly in your midst that's what the gifts do it's for the profiting and the excelling of the church i didn't have to convince her that jesus was alive i didn't have to get out a powerpoint presentation and says here's the pros as to why you should serve god from this day onward she knew she broke down in tears and she confessed christ that day and to my to my latest report she's still in the lord i mean that's what the power that's what the gifts of the spirit are for the bible says the manifestation of these gifts are given to each one individually for the profiting of everybody so good i love it i love it i'm getting fired up i'm getting fired up i'm about to fall out of my chair okay so number five this is gonna be our last one we're gonna close on this number five if you're taking notes is holiness and consecration this is so crucial when i first got saved this was the very first thing god began to tell me was begin to purge begin to get rid of things when jesus showed up demons would get tormented saying what do me and you have in common what gave jesus power in the over the demonic kingdom was he had nothing in common with it without holiness or consecration do not expect to walk in the power of god as i told you earlier that the bible says the prayer of the righteous has power and so there is a level that you can walk in if you want to increase power which we clearly know that there's a way to increase the power of god hebrews 12 says without holiness no one will see the lord but one specific thing i was thinking about tj we always preach you know everybody's equally in the kingdom of god everybody's equally used everybody's on the same playing field everybody's the same for god that's not what the bible teaches in second timothy 2 20 paul describes that there are wooden vessels and there are golden vessels and paul says this and listen if you want to be an average i liken it to as an average soldier versus special forces if you want to be an average sunday morning believer you never see a miracle you never preach the gospel you never raise the dead you never drive out demons you never do any mighty works the bible calls for the things of god daniel talks about those that know their god will do mighty exploits and mighty works paul says if you want to do that you can be a wooden average normal vessel he says but if you want to be a golden vessel that when god begins to move in power that when god begins to do something special on the earth he says you need to be consecrated and you need to be set apart purge yourself and consecrate to be used for mighty works so there is a purging and a consecration if you want to do these exploits for god now if you're in here we've had about 800 to 850 for almost two hours now we're about to hit a two-hour mark i believe that you are in here saying i want to be consecrated i want to be holy i want to be separated i want to be purged of all the works one of the things when the revival broke out tj in our house was the lord says isaiah you need to purge your house some of you have heard the story of me going in my brother's room throwing out the harry potter me going into my sister's room she had a hidden bottle of alcohol that her boss gave her that was worth hundreds of dollars and god showed me where it was hidden in her bedroom and i began to throw out everything and purge our house because the lord says i want to dwell and do mighty works here but i refuse to dwell and my power refused to show up which where there is unholy and unconsecrated things and so if i was going to go to that next level i had to purge in the book of acts when we see revival break out we see all the witches and warlocks purging beginning to burn all their witchcraft books and the bible says and revealing all of their secret sin there is a purging process point number five there is a purging process holiness and consecration will take you into a high level in the power of god verse peter 1 15 says but he who called you is holy and you need to be holy in all your conduct for it is written you shall be holy for i am holy so holiness is not an option it is a commandment this is something god is calling us guys we serve a holy and a jealous god and if you want to walk in the next level of the power of god if you want to increase the power of god i believe holiness and consecration are essential that you cannot walk into that next level of power if you don't walk in holiness and consecration yeah and joshua 3 says it like perfectly joshua is given the task to go into the land and before he does the lord tells him consecrate yourself to me for tomorrow i will do marvelous things in your midst he he specifically told joshua you are to consecrate yourself get israel cleaned up do you remember in joshua 7 the bible says first of all let's go back to joshua 1. the whole book of joshua is a picture of what life is when you do things god's way and when what life can be if you abandon god's ways and in joshua 1 it says if you will meditate on my law and let not this book of instruction depart from your mouth but take heed and give heed and meditate on it day and night and observe to do so it's not just meditating it's not just quoting the scripture psalm 50 says you take my word in your mouth but you you cast my laws behind you you've trampled my instructions under foot and you think that my word on your mouth is going to produce results a lot of people think they can confess their way to breakthrough while living a life that keeps them bound no proverbs chapter 5 says your own iniquities will keep you entrapped and you're going to be caught by the cords of your sin sin brings death same brings further bondage sin is like a man's is like a cord that'll hebrews 12 says you're to lay aside the sin and the weight that so easily entangles you it entangles you it keeps you ensnared when you're in sin the bible says the the the worker of iniquity will be scattered you're going to live a scattered life he that sows in sin shall reap in sorrow many sorrows shall be to them who hasten after other gods the bible says very clearly that it's only in the fear of the lord that there's a strong foundation in confidence and the people have a place of refuge the fear of the lord must be in place if the blessing of the lord is to follow david said i have kept the lord as my shepherd and goodness and mercy is now going to begin to follow if you're dedicated on setting yourself in your own ways there is a way that seems right unto man but its end is the way of death but in the pathway of righteousness is life and righteousness and honor and mercy the bible says the way of the wicked is like darkness they don't know what makes them stumble the bible says the way of though transgressor is hard hardship follow transgressors people intent on sin refusing to repent the bible says in romans 2 anguish trial and tribulation shall follow them who by by their own will refuse to repent and refuse to follow the ways of the lord but on the flip side see there's a there's a you don't have to be cursed when you sin curses will just navigate themselves to you you know the devil and a witch the devil himself demons they don't have to curse you they don't have to do anything if you're intent on staying in sin it's like if you stand in a river you don't have to ask to get wet you're going to get wet when you stand in sins river you're going to get what sin attracts and it attracts death that's why job chapter 36 i actually want to read this i know what happened so i've quoted a lot but this is recorded over 200 verses tonight like go ahead no i said i think we've quoted at least 200 verses tonight probably at least come on job 35 sorry verse 4 god said i'm gonna answer you and your companions with you look to the heavens and see behold the clouds they're higher than you if you sin what do you accomplish against god wow if you sin what are you accomplishing against god if your transgressions are multiplied what are you what are you doing to him you continuing in sin is not hurting god obviously it hurts him he wants you to repent he wants you to become a child of god he wants you to to live in his holiness of course but in the sense that it's not god is god whether you take the next 365 days to shoot up heroin and be a lunatic and beat your wife and get into alcoholism that doesn't affect god that affects you if you're righteous what are you giving to him what does he receive from your hand so on the flip side if your righteousness you're not yes your righteousness pleases god yes your righteousness is well pleasing to god it makes god joyful but in the same vein it doesn't change the fact that god is god and he sits on the throne then he goes on to say your wickedness affects a man such as you and your righteousness will affect the son of man so whether when you're in sin the only person getting burnt is you god's not getting burned and satan is still satan when you're in righteousness that's why paul said that the the the blessings of righteousness they yield benefit in this life and in the life to come godliness is profitable not for god god is god godliness is not profitable for anyone else except for you and your family that's why when joshua drew a line in the sand he said those that are on the lord's side come on this side as for me and my house we're gonna serve the lord because god promised that as long as i keep to his path there won't be a man that will be able to stand before me all the days of my life he said you'll be the head always and never be beneath you'll be above always and never the tail in if the bible says your enemies will come before you one way but because you're committed to holiness they'll be defeated before your face and be scattered seven ways yes if you'll diligently hearken unto the voice of the lord your god he'll set you high above high above high above the nations of the earth and all these blessings will come on you you won't have to ask god to be blessed all these blessings will pursue you and overtake you like a lion chasing a gazelle as you diligently pursue the purpose and calling of god that's why jesus says the new testament version if you'll seek first if you'll seek first if you'll seek first you know how people it doesn't matter if you sing i exalt thee in church in the fir the next couple of days you ain't exalting him how do you exalt god it's not just exalting him in word there's a lot of people who confess christ but they don't have any heart jesus said these people draw near to me with their lips they honor me with their mouths but their hearts are far from them there's a man of god i know he asked the lord one day why is it why is it that there are people that operate in different dimensions of power that some people are believing god to get rid of their sniffles and there's others that are raising the dead and the lord said because there are some people who are far far from me in their thoughts they don't think on me throughout the week they're very far from me preachers they don't think about me i'm not the first thought in the morning i'm not the last thought at night i'm an afterthought and as a result the power of god's not working through them but then there's another group of people and i believe it's you come on here online you've stuck an hour and 40 an hour and 50 minutes online almost two hours because you're not one who's interested in just playing games you're not one who wants to draw near with your mouth your heart's engaged jeremiah who is he who will seek me and engage me with all of his heart he's the one that will find me proverbs chapter 2 my son if you'll incline your ear to my wisdom if you'll apply your heart to my understanding if you seek for her as for hidden treasure if you search for her as for as for treasures if you lift up your voice for understanding and cry out for discernment cry out i'm not satisfied where i'm at i'm crying now i'm pressing through the bible says then you will understand the fear of the lord and you will find the knowledge of god and like isaiah said when you find the knowledge of god they that do know their god shall be come on it infuses strength the bible says these magnificent promises when believed upon infuses divine nature in you you start to partake of the nature of christ paul said i all things that were gained to me in my old life it's just rubbish it's garbage it's trash in comparison to the surpassing excellency of knowing christ that i might know him and the fellowship of his sufferings and when you live like that you partake in the power of his resurrection we're gonna pray here's what we're gonna do i feel the fire of god the holy ghost we're gonna pray for you guys a releasing of the power we're gonna pray that the devil would not come and steal the word according to the bible the enemy comes the bird comes to steal the word and then after that tj i'm gonna pray a corporate prayer over them i'm gonna have and don't leave guys this is the most important part of the whole night where over two hours this is the most important part and then i feel like the lord is saying i'm getting ready to heal people's body tonight so i really believe i

word will fall on good ground i say that the word that is spoken tonight is going to produce fruit father we did not get on here just to preach for two hours for nothing we believe that you are raising up end time warriors we believe that you're raising up the bride we believe that you're raising up soldiers right now as we preach and as we prophesy and as we declare we speak over you life i speak over the prodigals i speak right now that the prodigals are getting ready to come home acts 2 that this promise is for your kid we speak breakthrough we speak deliverance we speak healing over your prodigals and we send now the hounds of heaven and the fire of god to come upon your prodigal children to come upon prodigal marriages we speak the power of god right now we pray baptism of fire again for those of you that are just jumping on we pray this in the beginning of the broadcast we pray the power and the anointing of almighty god to begin to flow from the top of your head to the souls of your feet we pray baptism of power we pray baptism of fire we pray anointing of almighty god to come upon you now father i thank you that your word says that we have power to lose your ministering spirits and so right now father your word says that angels are the ministering servants of god to serve the errors of salvation so i loose legions of angels over your house right now i lose legions of angels over your city i lose legions of angels over your state father we pray the same way the angel came to daniel and daniel 10. we pray that you would send angels right now round about their house at every corner of their house we pray angels over their unsaved kids we pray angels over their marriage angels over their business angels over their ministry god we pray that you would begin to lose angels not only that we lose but now we bind every demonic strategy we bind every demonic assignment we bind every unclean spirit listening now we bind the strong man we tie up the strong man and put a gag in his mouth and we say you have no power you have no authority every demonic plan is being thwarted right now by the blood of jesus is being canceled by the blood of jesus that one might fall on your side and a thousand on your left side but it will not come near you in the name of jesus satan you have no power and you have no strength now we render you powerless we speak over every person watching we say unclean spirits they are not your home they have been purchased by the blood of jesus they've been redeemed and called according to the purposes of god and we speak right now deliverance over you we speak breakthrough over you we declare now the anointing and the fire of almighty god and we say you are leveled up in jesus name you are going to walk in a new level of power you are going to walk in a new level authority i speak over you now i feel the holy ghost that god is going to open up opportunities for you to exercise spiritual gifts god is going to open up windows of blessing windows of opportunity kairos moments for you to begin to exercise the spiritual gifts in your life that god is releasing now and then right now if you're sick and body tj is going to pray a prayer of healing and believe that healing is going to come right now a man a leper came to jesus and bowed before him and said lord if you're willing you can make me clean come on jesus before he healed him he corrected his theology because he knew if as long as you think that way you ain't gonna get healed doesn't matter if i touched you or sent 10 angels to touch you and he said i am willing be thou made well and he stretched forth and touched his hand his his body and immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed the bible says there was a woman in luke 13 that was bound by a spirit of infirmity and jesus said i not this daughter of abraham if you belong to the kingdom of god you're a son and a daughter of abraham i'm not this done this is the heart god has for you not this daughter of abraham whom satan has bound not god as long as you think that sickness is god you'll never be freed from it and until you'll never be delivered from something you're not first disgusted with so when you find out right now that satan is the author of that under let it rise a supernatural holy dis disgust for that thing where you vehemently and violently tie your faith in with mine tonight and attack that thing as we lose he sent forth his word and it did heal them i'm going to declare over you words of healing receive it in your body and you shall be whole you will not die you will not die you will see the goodness of the lord while you're yet in the land of the living so lift your hands if you're sick in your body take your right hand place it wherever that symptom is that pain if it's your heart on your chest if it's your knees on your knees if it's a series of things all around your body just put it on your head and from the top of your head the blessing will flow to the crown to the soul of your feet father in the name of jesus christ i thank you that before christ came to that cross and was pierced into his hands that he took a pit stop where his back was laid stripes upon that through that blood shed by the stripes he endured our physical healing was paid for i pray even now that by the stripes of jesus christ and the blood shed by those stripes would envelop the bodies of those believing you for healing right now and every sign trace and symptom every planting of the enemy which you have so clearly not planted because when you made man you made him good and it was when sin came that death and sickness came so we know and you told us that we are to pray your will on the earth as it is in heaven and we understand there's no sickness in heaven therefore i pray even now every planting of the enemy every tear that the enemy successfully sowed in their bodies may it be uprooted now in the name that is above every name i command the knee of cancer to bow and leave i command the knee of diabetes to bow and leave i command the knee of headaches and migraines to bow and leave i command every tumor jesus said this tree does not bear fruit may it wither and never bear fruit again every tree of sickness that doesn't bear the fruit that glorifies you in body and in spirit i pray even now by the authority that you said they that believe these signs shall follow they'll cast out devils and lay hands on the sick and the sick will recover as they're laying hands on themselves as a point of contact i command i declare i command every sickness to seize and desist to evacuate and exit from this moment on now in jesus mighty name now i want you to declare something over yourself say i am well say i am strong say i am healed not because of what i feel not because of what i see but because of what god's word says that he bore my sickness and carried my pains that i am now well because of the stripes of jesus christ in the name of jesus christ and i tell you i pray even from this broadcast this was my prayer before i even came on is that there'd be so many testimonies of the power of god miracles healings financial miracles whatever it is that i pray isaiah you'll have to take a full monday night q a come on just to take in calls of the testimonies come on and not only from this broadcast i pray from
