- 0:00Speaker 1: We only go to Joshua chapter 5 verse 1 through 15.
- 0:02Speaker 1: That's a little bit more reading than I normally do,
- 0:05Speaker 1: but I'm going to read verses 1 through 15 out
- 0:06Speaker 1: of the book of Joshua chapter number 5. When you
- 0:10Speaker 1: have it, say amen. Now, when all the Amorite kings
- 0:33Speaker 1: west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along
- 0:38Speaker 1: the coast heard how the Lord had dried up the
- 0:42Speaker 1: Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their
- 0:48Speaker 1: hearts melted in fear. And they no longer had the
- 0:52Speaker 1: courage to face the Israelites. Stop right there. I want
- 0:55Speaker 1: to go back and do that again. Now, when the
- 0:57Speaker 1: Amorite kings... Look at how everything is put in perspective
- 1:03Speaker 1: based on the Jordan in itself. Now, when all the
- 1:07Speaker 1: Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite
- 1:12Speaker 1: kings along the coast heard how the Lord had dried
- 1:17Speaker 1: up the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Over, their hearts.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Melted in fear and they no longer had the courage
- 1:27Speaker 1: to to face the Israelites because of what God did
- 1:30Speaker 1: at the Jordan. Come on. At that time, the Lord
- 1:34Speaker 1: said to Joshua, Joshua, make flint knives and circumcise the
- 1:40Speaker 1: Israelites again. So Joshua made flint knives. Ooh, it hurts
- 1:46Speaker 1: to read this. And circumcised the Israelites at Gbiath, Haraloth.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Now this is why he did so. All those who
- 1:59Speaker 1: came out of Egypt, all the men of military age
- 2:03Speaker 1: died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt.
- 2:08Speaker 1: All the people that came out had been circumcised, but
- 2:13Speaker 1: all the people born in the wilderness during the journey
- 2:17Speaker 1: from Egypt had not died. The Israelites had moved about
- 2:23Speaker 1: in the wilderness 40 years until all the men who
- 2:27Speaker 1: were of military age when they left Egypt had died.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Since they had not obeyed the Lord. For the Lord
- 2:35Speaker 1: had sworn to them that they would not see the land.
- 2:39Speaker 1: He had solemnly promised their ancestors to give us a
- 2:43Speaker 1: land flowing with milk and honey. So he raised up
- 2:49Speaker 1: their sons. Oh my God. The thing that he had
- 2:55Speaker 1: for the fathers, he gave to the sons. Because of
- 3:00Speaker 1: their disobedience, he passed up that generation and dropped it
- 3:05Speaker 1: to the next generation. Oh my God. So he raised
- 3:10Speaker 1: up their sons in their place. And these were the
- 3:15Speaker 1: ones Joshua circumcised. They were bleeding, but they were blessed. Oh,
- 3:24Speaker 1: my God from dying. They were still uncircumcised because they
- 3:29Speaker 1: had not been circumcised.
- 3:31Speaker 2: On the way.
- 3:33Speaker 1: They were moving uncircumcised. They were progressing uncircumcised. But you
- 3:39Speaker 1: can only go so far before God has to correct you.
- 3:46Speaker 1: what has been uncorrected they moved along the way uncircumcised
- 3:51Speaker 1: a lot of us move along the way and we
- 3:53Speaker 1: get a lot of things done but that doesn't mean
- 3:55Speaker 1: that God is totally pleased just because you have progress
- 3:59Speaker 1: doesn't mean that God has pleasure because you are moving
- 4:03Speaker 1: but you're moving in an uncircumcised fashion and sooner or
- 4:07Speaker 1: later it's gonna catch up to you and God says
- 4:10Speaker 1: I gotta fix this Before you cross over into your
- 4:14Speaker 1: ultimate sacrifice, I got to get some of your flesh
- 4:18Speaker 1: cut out of the way. Oh, I don't know who
- 4:21Speaker 1: I'm talking to. And after the whole nation had been circumcised,
- 4:26Speaker 1: they remained where they were in camp until they were healed.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Isn't it funny how God will stop everything for you
- 4:35Speaker 1: to get healed? How God doesn't want you to serve bleeding?
- 4:41Speaker 1: Serve wounded that God wants you to be healed and
- 4:44Speaker 1: to recover so that he can get the fullness out
- 4:47Speaker 1: of your life. Then the Lord said to Joshua, today
- 4:51Speaker 1: I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.
- 4:55Speaker 1: The reproach, the residue, the curse of Egypt has been
- 4:58Speaker 1: rolled away. Even though you weren't born in it, you
- 5:03Speaker 1: have reproached from it. These were born along the way.
- 5:09Speaker 1: And yet the residue of the experience of their fathers
- 5:13Speaker 1: had affected the sons. And he said, this day I
- 5:16Speaker 1: have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. So
- 5:20Speaker 1: the place has been called Gilgal to this day. I
- 5:23Speaker 1: want you to hear what I just said. They weren't
- 5:27Speaker 1: in Egypt. They weren't from Egypt. They were born after Egypt.
- 5:36Speaker 1: But the reproach of Egypt... was still on them. Can
- 5:40Speaker 1: you say amen? Say amen for the first lady. I
- 5:43Speaker 1: see all y'all looking at her. I can't preach till
- 5:46Speaker 1: you say something, so go ahead and let's get that out.
- 5:51Speaker 1: So the place has been called Gilgal to this day, okay?
- 5:57Speaker 1: On the evening of the 14th day of the month,
- 6:00Speaker 1: while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the
- 6:04Speaker 1: Israelites celebrated the Passover. Now they've gone from bleeding to celebration.
- 6:12Speaker 1: The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate
- 6:17Speaker 1: some of the produce of the land, unleavened bread and
- 6:21Speaker 1: roasted grain. The manna stopped the day after. What did
- 6:28Speaker 1: it do? It stopped the day after they ate this
- 6:32Speaker 1: food from the land. There was no longer any manna
- 6:36Speaker 1: for the Israelites anymore. But that year they ate the
- 6:40Speaker 1: produce of Canaan. Just because God stops doing what you're
- 6:46Speaker 1: used to doesn't mean he's not with you. You can't
- 6:52Speaker 1: hold God back to who he was while he's trying
- 6:56Speaker 1: to show you who he is. And you feel punished
- 7:00Speaker 1: because the man has stopped. The man has stopped because
- 7:03Speaker 1: it's no longer necessary. Sometimes God removes things out of
- 7:07Speaker 1: your life because you don't need them like you used
- 7:10Speaker 1: to need them. And yet you're crying out for what
- 7:13Speaker 1: was at the expense of what is.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Yes.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Oh, help me, Jesus. Now, when Joshua was near Jericho,
- 7:22Speaker 1: he looked up and saw a man standing in front
- 7:25Speaker 1: of him with a drawn sword in his hand. And
- 7:30Speaker 1: this is not a natural man. This is a theophonic
- 7:33Speaker 1: manifestation of God himself, an angelic host of heaven. I
- 7:38Speaker 1: believe a theophany within itself. Joshua went up to him
- 7:42Speaker 1: and asked, are you for us? For our enemies. That's
- 7:47Speaker 1: one thing about it. Joshua, kind of like Peter, he
- 7:50Speaker 1: would take you on. He said, what's up? And the
- 7:56Speaker 1: angel spoke, neither. He replied, but as the commander of
- 8:01Speaker 1: the army of the Lord, I am the commander of
- 8:05Speaker 1: the army of the Lord. I have now come. I
- 8:08Speaker 1: didn't come for your enemy. I didn't come for you.
- 8:14Speaker 1: I came for God's purpose. Then Joshua fell face down
- 8:20Speaker 1: on the ground in reverence and asked him, what message
- 8:25Speaker 1: does my Lord have for his servant? The commander of
- 8:29Speaker 1: the Lord's army replied, take off your shoes for the
- 8:35Speaker 1: place where on you are standing is holy. It's holy.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Somebody shout holy.
- 8:41Speaker 3: Holy.
- 8:42Speaker 1: And Joshua did so. Can you say amen? Take me
- 8:46Speaker 1: back to the first verse for just a moment. I'll
- 8:48Speaker 1: take my thought out of there. Now, when all the
- 8:51Speaker 1: Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite
- 8:54Speaker 1: kings along the coast heard how the Lord had dried
- 8:58Speaker 1: up the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Over, their hearts.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Melted in fear. And they no longer had the courage
- 9:09Speaker 1: to face the Israelites. My subject this evening, the power
- 9:15Speaker 1: to stop. The power to stop. Think about that. The
- 9:26Speaker 1: power to stop. Fill in the blank. What do you need?
- 9:34Speaker 1: The power to stop. To stop. Type it on the line.
- 9:45Speaker 1: The power to stop. Put it in the text. The
- 9:48Speaker 1: power to stop. The power, the power, the power, the
- 9:52Speaker 1: power to stop.
- 9:53Speaker 4: Spirit of the living God fall fresh on us tonight.
- 10:01Speaker 4: intoxicate us with your glory inundate us with your presence
- 10:06Speaker 4: endow us with your word open up the oracles of
- 10:11Speaker 4: eternity and release truth to us in our innermost parts
- 10:17Speaker 4: I thank you in advance for what you're going to
- 10:19Speaker 4: do I thank you because you're God all by yourself.
- 10:23Speaker 1: I thank you because you can do anything but fail.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I thank you because you have summonsed us here tonight
- 10:29Speaker 1: to hear what the Spirit of the Lord will say
- 10:32Speaker 1: to the church. We will give the utmost heedance to
- 10:37Speaker 1: your word as you speak tonight. We will heed it
- 10:41Speaker 1: and obey it. In Jesus' name we pray. At the
- 10:45Speaker 1: top of your lungs, shout amen. Amen. You may be
- 10:50Speaker 1: seated in the presence of God. How y'all doing? We
- 10:59Speaker 1: are in the book of Joshua. We are in the
- 11:03Speaker 1: book of Joshua. We are in the book of Joshua.
- 11:08Speaker 1: We are in the book of Yahshua. There is a
- 11:13Speaker 1: parallel between Joshua and Yahshua. Yahshua is Joshua's pronunciation. Jesus
- 11:25Speaker 1: reveals himself in the New Testament, Yahshua. In the Old Testament,
- 11:30Speaker 1: his shadow is Joshua. We are in the book of Joshua.
- 11:35Speaker 1: This is not for the faint of heart. This is
- 11:38Speaker 1: not for the weak. This is not for people who
- 11:42Speaker 1: are fragile and sensitive. This is the book for people
- 11:47Speaker 1: who are going to take what the enemy stole from them.
- 11:55Speaker 1: This is not for those who cannot stand discomfort or
- 12:01Speaker 1: draw back at turbulence because this is a book of transition.
- 12:07Speaker 1: This is a book that comes right after the death
- 12:10Speaker 1: of Moses. It is at the end of grieving It
- 12:15Speaker 1: is a benediction to that which was and the birthing
- 12:20Speaker 1: of that which shall be. As I was with Moses,
- 12:25Speaker 1: so shall I be with you. I will be with
- 12:29Speaker 1: you as I was, but you will not be him.
- 12:35Speaker 1: So this is a time of transition. This is a
- 12:39Speaker 1: time of discovery so that I might discover how to
- 12:43Speaker 1: wear the glory of Moses in the authenticity of who
- 12:49Speaker 1: I am. I cannot imitate him. I must be authentically Yahshua.
- 12:57Speaker 1: But his anointing has come to rest upon me if
- 13:02Speaker 1: I am sure of my own identity. As I was,
- 13:07Speaker 1: God says, as I was with Moses, so shall I
- 13:11Speaker 1: be with you. So don't be him. Because I'm going
- 13:19Speaker 1: to be the same, but you're going to be you.
- 13:24Speaker 1: With my presence on you. Yeshua. Joshua. Joshua. You're going
- 13:35Speaker 1: to possess the gate of the enemy. I am going
- 13:41Speaker 1: to use you to roll back the reproach of the
- 13:47Speaker 1: Egyptians on a people who never met the Egyptians. Oh
- 13:53Speaker 1: my God. A people who have not met the Egyptians
- 13:58Speaker 1: but are affected generationally by their predecessors. The trauma of
- 14:06Speaker 1: Egypt has fallen on the children of the wilderness. And
- 14:13Speaker 1: I am going to pull the trauma off of them
- 14:16Speaker 1: even though their trauma does not match their memories. You
- 14:23Speaker 1: do know you can inherit trauma. Without going through the
- 14:27Speaker 1: things that your grandparents went through, they can pass on
- 14:31Speaker 1: their phobias, their fears, their traumas, their anxieties. And all
- 14:36Speaker 1: of a sudden you're acting in a way that you
- 14:38Speaker 1: don't understand and you don't know that it's not even
- 14:41Speaker 1: coming from your birthday forward. It's coming before your birthday here.
- 14:46Speaker 1: It happened way back to your grandparents or parents in
- 14:50Speaker 1: Egypt and they left you in the wheel their fear.
- 14:56Speaker 1: their trauma, their perversion, their brokenness, their pain. And God
- 15:05Speaker 1: says to Joshua, I've anointed you to roll back the
- 15:11Speaker 1: reproach of Egypt from a people who had never been.
- 15:15Speaker 1: I wonder what's on you that you never earned. That
- 15:23Speaker 1: was passed down to you. That you became the beneficiary
- 15:28Speaker 1: for something for which you did not labor. And yet
- 15:32Speaker 1: it's all over you. Affects what you're afraid of. Affects
- 15:37Speaker 1: how you react. Affects your temperament. Affects your moods. Affects
- 15:41Speaker 1: your disposition. Affects what you can't stand. What you can't take.
- 15:46Speaker 1: And you don't know why you can't stand it. Because
- 15:48Speaker 1: you've never been to Egypt. But Egypt has been to you.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Are you hearing what I'm saying to you? So there
- 15:57Speaker 1: we are with Joshua having this responsibility, not only cleansing
- 16:02Speaker 1: their heart from the grief of Moses, but cleansing their
- 16:05Speaker 1: heart from the residual effect of the ancestral curse that
- 16:10Speaker 1: has passed from generation to generation. He has to do
- 16:14Speaker 1: it with a sharp stone at Gilgal. And it's a
- 16:22Speaker 1: bloody business. Sometimes. Getting free is a bloody business. That's
- 16:34Speaker 1: why we don't see the loosing and deliverance that we
- 16:37Speaker 1: used to see in the church because we don't like
- 16:41Speaker 1: how messy deliverance is. Yeah.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Yeah, in the old church, we would roll the floor,
- 16:49Speaker 1: but now we're too cute to be rolling on the
- 16:52Speaker 1: floor because real deliverance, real breakthrough where you really turn
- 16:58Speaker 1: into somebody new, not somebody who has a church glazed
- 17:02Speaker 1: over a sinner's heart. Real deliverance requires some bloodshed and
- 17:08Speaker 1: some pain and some swelling and some suffering and a
- 17:13Speaker 1: time of silence. while you heal, real deliverance is painful.
- 17:20Speaker 1: It doesn't accommodate your nervous system. It's not designed to
- 17:25Speaker 1: make you feel good about yourself. And we live in
- 17:28Speaker 1: a generation where everybody wants to make you feel good.
- 17:31Speaker 1: And if they don't make you feel good, you leave
- 17:33Speaker 1: and go to another church. And if they don't make
- 17:35Speaker 1: you feel good, you leave and go to another church.
- 17:38Speaker 1: And if If this husband don't make you feel good,
- 17:40Speaker 1: you'll get you another one. And if that one don't
- 17:42Speaker 1: make you feel good, you'll get you another one because
- 17:44Speaker 1: you keep feeling good, but you never get better. Because
- 17:48Speaker 1: sometimes in order to get better, you got to hurt
- 17:51Speaker 1: and bleed and swell up and scab up and heal
- 17:55Speaker 1: up and go through deliverance to get to the place
- 17:57Speaker 1: where you get the breakthrough that you really need. But
- 18:00Speaker 1: everybody's so busy being soft in their parenting and soft
- 18:04Speaker 1: in their pastoring and soft in their preaching that we're
- 18:07Speaker 1: producing soft leaders and soft men and soft women. And
- 18:12Speaker 1: everybody's so soft that you ought to stamp Charmin on
- 18:15Speaker 1: your head because... You're too soft to be a leader.
- 18:35Speaker 1: You hear what I'm saying too? You got to take
- 18:38Speaker 1: people's temperature before you tell them the truth. They can't
- 18:42Speaker 1: handle the truth. And so Joshua has this dubious, complicated
- 18:48Speaker 1: task of leading them through this critical situation, surrounded by
- 18:55Speaker 1: the king of the Canaanites, surrounded by enemies who are
- 19:01Speaker 1: on both sides of the Jordan. Let me spend some
- 19:07Speaker 1: time with the Jordans. Because the Jordan is very, very
- 19:13Speaker 1: important to the text. If not the star of the text,
- 19:20Speaker 1: the Jordan is the impetus through which the heathens now
- 19:24Speaker 1: respect the Israelites because of what God did through the Jordan.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Let us begin by understanding that the text does not
- 19:35Speaker 1: tell us the topography of the Jordan. And if you
- 19:41Speaker 1: don't understand the topography of the Jordan, then the text
- 19:45Speaker 1: loses its power. Number one, I have been... to Jerusalem
- 19:50Speaker 1: and I've been to Jordan and I've been in the
- 19:53Speaker 1: Jordan River and I've seen it. And I saw the
- 19:56Speaker 1: sea of Galilee, which is above it, which flows down
- 20:00Speaker 1: into it. And I understand that it goes all the
- 20:04Speaker 1: way back to Mount Hebron. You remember when the Bible said,
- 20:10Speaker 1: behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to
- 20:12Speaker 1: dwell together. In unity, it is like the oil that
- 20:15Speaker 1: fell upon the head of Aaron onto his spirits and
- 20:18Speaker 1: onto his skirts. It is like the dew that fell
- 20:21Speaker 1: on Mount Hermon. The dew that fell on Mount Hermon
- 20:25Speaker 1: was famous. Many theologians think that Mount Hermon and the
- 20:29Speaker 1: Mount of Transfiguration were the same mountains at the bottom
- 20:32Speaker 1: of the mountains. The flowers were a result of the
- 20:36Speaker 1: dew and the condensation that created a waterfall that contributed
- 20:41Speaker 1: to the Jordan River that flowed through the Sea of Galilee.
- 20:47Speaker 1: The Jordan River has many contributing forces that causes it
- 20:52Speaker 1: to flow. It is fresh water. Now, notice I started
- 20:57Speaker 1: on the mountain. I started on the mountain. But it's
- 21:03Speaker 1: it slides down from the mountain to the Sea of Galilee.
- 21:07Speaker 1: When I went to the Sea of Galilee, it was
- 21:10Speaker 1: after I had gone down the road to Jericho and
- 21:13Speaker 1: it was a winding road down. A certain man went
- 21:16Speaker 1: down from Jerusalem to Jericho. See, anytime you're at Jerusalem,
- 21:20Speaker 1: you had a high place. That's why the Bible called
- 21:22Speaker 1: it a city set up on a hill. They cannot
- 21:24Speaker 1: be here. Jerusalem is a high place, but on your
- 21:27Speaker 1: way down to Jericho, you're coming down like the water
- 21:32Speaker 1: is coming down. It's coming down. It's coming down. And
- 21:37Speaker 1: there the Sea of Galilee was down at the bottom,
- 21:40Speaker 1: and it was beautiful, and it was wonderful. And it's
- 21:42Speaker 1: fresh water, fresh water, drinkable water, replenishing water. That's why
- 21:47Speaker 1: the cities are built around water, because water sustains life.
- 21:53Speaker 1: And in the early days, most cities were built around
- 21:56Speaker 1: water so that they would have the sustenance that was
- 22:00Speaker 1: necessary to support life. Watch me. I'm headed somewhere. Now,
- 22:06Speaker 1: we're going down. Somebody say, we're going down. As the
- 22:11Speaker 1: Jordan begins to collect all of its contributing factors and
- 22:16Speaker 1: continues to flow, it flows with such power and such
- 22:21Speaker 1: grace that Until as it continues to go down, it
- 22:25Speaker 1: goes lower and lower until it goes below sea level.
- 22:32Speaker 1: And eventually, if you study it out, the Jordan flows
- 22:37Speaker 1: into what is called the Dead Sea. And there is
- 22:41Speaker 1: nothing that can flow. There's nothing that can survive in
- 22:45Speaker 1: the Dead Sea. Because the Dead Sea is so salty. Salty.
- 22:51Speaker 1: that you could literally stand up and walk across it.
- 22:55Speaker 1: How did something start so fresh? How could it be
- 23:03Speaker 1: up on the mountain and be so fresh and keep
- 23:06Speaker 1: going down and down and down until the fresh water
- 23:12Speaker 1: has turned to salt water? Are you following what I'm saying? Now,
- 23:18Speaker 1: the Jordan River in the early days, in the historical days,
- 23:22Speaker 1: was about 1.3 billion cubic meters per year. 1.3 billion
- 23:30Speaker 1: is a lot of cubic meters. Just 20 to 30
- 23:34Speaker 1: million cubic meters per year now. But originally, the Jordan
- 23:41Speaker 1: was a force to be reckoned with. It was forceful.
- 23:46Speaker 1: It was full. And during certain seasons, it would overflood
- 23:50Speaker 1: the banks. And it was powerful. And when Joshua crosses
- 23:55Speaker 1: the Jordan, it is at the peak of a season
- 23:59Speaker 1: where the banks are overflowing. But don't let it be
- 24:03Speaker 1: lost on you that the Jordan is coming down. In fact,
- 24:09Speaker 1: some scholars teach us that the Jordan's literal translation for
- 24:14Speaker 1: the word Jordan is means to come down. To come down.
- 24:22Speaker 1: The text doesn't give us the topography. You have to
- 24:25Speaker 1: do your own research to get the topography. But the
- 24:28Speaker 1: text is coming down. So if the text is coming down,
- 24:33Speaker 1: the water is coming down. And the water is coming down.
- 24:36Speaker 1: I was having a conversation with a girl who's a scientist,
- 24:40Speaker 1: and I asked her what she thought about the rainforest
- 24:43Speaker 1: in Brazil. And she said, Before we talk about the
- 24:46Speaker 1: rainforest in Brazil, she said we have to deal with
- 24:49Speaker 1: the sub-Saharan desert in Africa because it is the dust
- 24:55Speaker 1: storm in the sub-Saharan areas of Africa that creates the
- 25:00Speaker 1: clouds that blow over to Brazil that causes the rain.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Cause and effect. If there were no Mount Hebron, there
- 25:15Speaker 1: wouldn't be a Jordan. If there wasn't a Sea of Galilee,
- 25:18Speaker 1: there wouldn't be a Jordan. It starts up here. If
- 25:21Speaker 1: it wasn't fresh water, there wouldn't be salt water. But
- 25:25Speaker 1: as it goes down, that's when it starts to get salty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 25:33Speaker 1: It gets salty when it goes down. It gets salty
- 25:35Speaker 1: because it goes below sea level. And when fresh water
- 25:41Speaker 1: gets contaminated below sea level, it becomes a dumping place
- 25:47Speaker 1: for salt. You remember that Lot's wife would have escaped.
- 25:57Speaker 1: Sodom and Gomorrah but she had to look back one
- 26:02Speaker 1: more time and her judgment was to become a pillar
- 26:06Speaker 1: of salt and they went forward but she went down
- 26:12Speaker 1: yes Jordan to go down I want to spend some
- 26:17Speaker 1: time on the Jordan River because the Jordan River is
- 26:20Speaker 1: very important it's very important for whole It is the
- 26:29Speaker 1: Jordan River that is the deciding the fault line between
- 26:35Speaker 1: Jerusalem and what is now called Jordan. It is the
- 26:40Speaker 1: Jordan River that Jesus is to be baptized in. He
- 26:46Speaker 1: is to be baptized in. And when he comes up
- 26:50Speaker 1: out of the water, a voice speaks from heaven and says,
- 26:55Speaker 1: this is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Why is it important that Jesus is baptized in the Jordan? Yeshua.
- 27:04Speaker 1: Yeshua has to be baptized in the Jordan because he
- 27:08Speaker 1: brings us into the promise. Just like Joshua had to
- 27:12Speaker 1: go through the Jordan to bring us into a land
- 27:15Speaker 1: that flows with milk and honey. The Jordan is the
- 27:19Speaker 1: fault line. And when I saw it, I was amazed
- 27:23Speaker 1: because everything on this side of the Jordan is dry
- 27:28Speaker 1: and parched and lifeless and sandy and desert. And everything
- 27:33Speaker 1: on that side of the Jordan is plush and green
- 27:37Speaker 1: and alive and vibrant and flamboyant with all types of life.
- 27:43Speaker 1: A land that flows with milk and honey and a
- 27:47Speaker 1: wilderness that's dry and parched. It's only separated by the Jordan.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I'm still in the first verse. It's only separated by
- 27:57Speaker 1: the Jordan. And what was water you could fish in
- 28:01Speaker 1: like the Sea of Galilee has now ended up so
- 28:05Speaker 1: salty because it kept going down. The reason that you're
- 28:10Speaker 1: dealing with people that are salty is because they keep
- 28:14Speaker 1: going down. Oh, God. Throw your hands up and say,
- 28:24Speaker 1: stop me from going down. Now, you've asked God to
- 28:29Speaker 1: break the gravitational pull that is a part of the
- 28:33Speaker 1: centrifugal force of a revolving earth. Because it is the
- 28:37Speaker 1: movement of the earth that creates gravity, that creates a
- 28:41Speaker 1: downward motion. And you're asking God to break a law,
- 28:45Speaker 1: but to stop me from going down. Say it again,
- 28:48Speaker 1: stop me from going down. Yeah, I didn't come this
- 28:52Speaker 1: far to go down. I didn't go through all the
- 28:55Speaker 1: tests I've gone through to go down. I didn't survive
- 28:58Speaker 1: all of these years to go down. I didn't endure
- 29:01Speaker 1: all the pain I've been through to go down. I
- 29:03Speaker 1: didn't go through this circumcision to go down. I didn't
- 29:07Speaker 1: bleed like this to go down. I didn't swell like
- 29:10Speaker 1: this to go down. I didn't scab up like this
- 29:12Speaker 1: to go down. Whatever you've got to do, stop me, Lord,
- 29:16Speaker 1: from going down. Hallelujah to God. I feel something in
- 29:20Speaker 1: this place because you wouldn't be on a Wednesday night
- 29:24Speaker 1: at Bible class if you weren't serious about this thing
- 29:28Speaker 1: and you want the power to stop. Somebody say, give
- 29:31Speaker 1: me the power to stop. The gradation of the mountain
- 29:36Speaker 1: is against me. The centrifugal force of the earth is
- 29:39Speaker 1: against me. The gravitational pull of the planet is against me.
- 29:42Speaker 1: But you have the power to stop. Y'all don't hear
- 29:48Speaker 1: me yet. Y'all don't hear me? That which pulls me
- 29:52Speaker 1: cannot have me because if God gets ready to stop it,
- 29:56Speaker 1: he can stop it even though nature is pulling it,
- 30:00Speaker 1: even though gravity is pulling it, even though circumstance is
- 30:04Speaker 1: pulling it. If God stops it, he will break a
- 30:07Speaker 1: law to create a dry place for me to cross over,
- 30:11Speaker 1: for me to cross, for me to cross over Let
- 30:19Speaker 1: me show you. Let me show you. Let me prove it.
- 30:20Speaker 1: Let me prove it. Since some of you haven't been there,
- 30:22Speaker 1: let me prove it by the scripture. The Bible says
- 30:24Speaker 1: that Jesus was baptized in the Jordan by John the
- 30:28Speaker 1: Baptist and straightway the spirit sent him into the wilderness.
- 30:32Speaker 1: It's because the wilderness is on this side of the Jordan.
- 30:36Speaker 1: and Jerusalem is on that side. So it wasn't hard
- 30:39Speaker 1: for him to go into the wilderness because the fault
- 30:42Speaker 1: line between the two places is the Jordan itself. Are
- 30:46Speaker 1: you with me? This is Bible class. Come on, come on,
- 30:48Speaker 1: let me know it's Bible class. So what does it
- 30:57Speaker 1: mean to be on a gradation where the current is
- 31:03Speaker 1: pulled by gravity To a place so low. Jesus is
- 31:09Speaker 1: baptized in the Jordan. Let me finish that. Jesus is
- 31:12Speaker 1: baptized in the Jordan. To typify my sins. being washed
- 31:17Speaker 1: into the sea of forgetfulness, not to be remembered in
- 31:21Speaker 1: this world or the world to come. Jesus is baptized
- 31:25Speaker 1: in the Jordan to typify to me through shadows and
- 31:28Speaker 1: types that my old man is as dead as the
- 31:31Speaker 1: Dead Sea. Jesus is baptized in the Jordan River to
- 31:35Speaker 1: let me know that everything, every curse, Every reproach of Egypt,
- 31:40Speaker 1: everything that was on me, every hex, every spell, every
- 31:43Speaker 1: wicked device, every enemy thing has been thrown into the
- 31:47Speaker 1: Dead Sea. And that's why he doesn't want me talking
- 31:49Speaker 1: about my past because he can't see it anymore. He's
- 31:53Speaker 1: gone into the Dead Sea where nothing can grow. Nothing
- 31:57Speaker 1: can grow. He's turned to... Yeah. And nothing can grow.
- 32:08Speaker 1: Are you with me? Are you with me? The thing
- 32:12Speaker 1: that caused the Canaanites to become terrified is that God
- 32:18Speaker 1: was so with the Hebrews, the Israelites, that he broke
- 32:24Speaker 1: the flow. He broke the flow. Somebody say break the flow.
- 32:33Speaker 1: I'm on a trajectory that doesn't look good. I'm on
- 32:36Speaker 1: a path that doesn't feel good. I'm in a situation
- 32:39Speaker 1: that doesn't feel good. But you have the power tonight
- 32:42Speaker 1: to break the flow. I'm in the third stage of cancer,
- 32:46Speaker 1: but you have the power to break the flow. I'm
- 32:50Speaker 1: a diabetic and I'm taking medication twice a day, but
- 32:54Speaker 1: you have the power tonight. To break the flow. I've
- 32:57Speaker 1: been diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. But you have the power. To
- 33:01Speaker 1: break the flow. Do you hear what I'm saying to you?
- 33:04Speaker 1: There's some things that the enemy has set in place.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Before you ever even got here. And the odds are
- 33:10Speaker 1: against you. And the environment is against you. And the
- 33:12Speaker 1: terrain is against you. And it looks like you're headed
- 33:15Speaker 1: for a dead place. But God is getting ready to
- 33:18Speaker 1: break the flow. Somebody holler stop it. That's how they
- 33:26Speaker 1: knew that God was with the Israelites because God stopped it.
- 33:31Speaker 1: That's how they knew that God had anointed them because
- 33:35Speaker 1: God stopped it. That's how I know I'm saved because
- 33:39Speaker 1: I was headed for hell and God stopped it. That's
- 33:43Speaker 1: how I know that the Lord is with me because
- 33:46Speaker 1: my enemies have not prospered over me because God stopped it. Somebody,
- 33:51Speaker 1: I'll stop it. There are some things that should have
- 33:55Speaker 1: killed you. There's some times you should have lost your mind.
- 33:58Speaker 1: There's some times you should have thrown in the towel.
- 34:01Speaker 1: And just when the enemy was coming in for the kill,
- 34:04Speaker 1: God stopped. I don't know who I'm talking to today,
- 34:23Speaker 1: but God said he's getting ready to stop some things.
- 34:26Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm ministering to today, but God
- 34:28Speaker 1: is getting ready to stop some things. Some things that
- 34:31Speaker 1: the devil meant for evil, but God's going to stop it.
- 34:34Speaker 1: Type it on the line. God's going to stop it.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Somebody praise him just 30 seconds because God's going to
- 34:39Speaker 1: break the flow. He's going to break the current. He's
- 34:42Speaker 1: going to break the curse. He's going to break the
- 34:44Speaker 1: generational curse. He's going to stop it. He's going to
- 34:47Speaker 1: stop it. He's pulling, but he's going to stop it.
- 34:49Speaker 1: He's janking, but he's going to stop it. Come on,
- 34:52Speaker 1: you got 10 seconds. 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 10, 10, 10, 10, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Somebody stop it.
- 35:22Speaker 5: Sit down, because I'm going to try to act like
- 35:24Speaker 5: I got some sense.
- 35:35Speaker 1: So there are three quick points. I'm almost out of time.
- 35:37Speaker 1: There are three quick points. I want to talk about
- 35:39Speaker 1: the moat, the manna, and the method. The moat, the manna,
- 35:43Speaker 1: and the method. The moat, the manna, and the method.
- 35:48Speaker 1: I bring the moat to light because... You must understand
- 35:53Speaker 1: for Jericho, for the city of Jericho, the Jordan River
- 36:00Speaker 1: is a bit of a moat. You know what a
- 36:04Speaker 1: moat is. A moat is when men would dig out
- 36:07Speaker 1: a waterway as an extra layer of defense lest enemies
- 36:12Speaker 1: would be able to cross over easily. They had to
- 36:16Speaker 1: get through the moat. In the biblical days, cities were
- 36:21Speaker 1: built around geographical terrain so that they would have strategic
- 36:26Speaker 1: advantage in the times of war. That's where the high
- 36:31Speaker 1: places comes from. That's where the concepts come from about
- 36:35Speaker 1: David climbing up the waterways. The idea is to position
- 36:39Speaker 1: the city so that you can be protected as much
- 36:44Speaker 1: as possible. To put your city on this side of
- 36:49Speaker 1: the Jordan was a layer of defense. Because if they
- 36:55Speaker 1: were going to get through the Jordan, especially at the
- 36:59Speaker 1: swelling of the Jordan, they had to come through the waters,
- 37:02Speaker 1: which was difficult. And what caused them to be terrified
- 37:09Speaker 1: is that God stopped it. It's one thing to stop.
- 37:14Speaker 1: A level flow of water. But when the water is coming,
- 37:19Speaker 1: galing down off the mountain sides, it's coming with an
- 37:22Speaker 1: intense amount of pressure. And still God stopped. Y'all can't
- 37:32Speaker 1: hear what I'm talking about. Y'all can't hear that. You
- 37:35Speaker 1: too busy worrying about how much is coming down off
- 37:37Speaker 1: the mountain that you can't understand it. I don't care
- 37:40Speaker 1: how much force has got behind it. If God gets
- 37:43Speaker 1: ready to stop it, he can still stop it. Glory
- 37:47Speaker 1: to God. That's somebody's word from the Lord. I don't
- 37:50Speaker 1: care how much the impending danger is threatening to you.
- 37:54Speaker 1: God still has the power. He stopped it.
- 38:03Speaker 2: He stopped it.
- 38:04Speaker 1: This is different from the Red Sea April. It's not
- 38:06Speaker 1: the same as the Red Sea because the Red Sea
- 38:09Speaker 1: was a level seabed. And I'm not saying it's any
- 38:13Speaker 1: less miracle, but it is more amazing because the terrain
- 38:18Speaker 1: did not lend itself to stopping what was pouring down
- 38:24Speaker 1: off of the mountains. But God stopped it. And on
- 38:32Speaker 1: both sides of the Jordan, the kings were afraid because
- 38:38Speaker 1: they knew their hands were not big enough to break
- 38:43Speaker 1: the flow. When God gets ready to break the flow,
- 38:50Speaker 1: no man's hands are big enough to stop the flow
- 38:55Speaker 1: of what God is going to break in your life.
- 38:57Speaker 1: I can't hardly get away from that. Hallelujah to God.
- 39:01Speaker 1: By the same token, when God's got something for you,
- 39:04Speaker 1: I don't care how much water they got around it.
- 39:07Speaker 1: I don't care how thick the moat is. I don't
- 39:09Speaker 1: care how strong the obstacle is. I don't care what
- 39:12Speaker 1: age you are. I don't care what you feel like
- 39:15Speaker 1: in your body. When God says, I have given you
- 39:18Speaker 1: the land, I have given you the land.
- 39:21Speaker 2: And the Bible said.
- 39:29Speaker 1: No, somebody say, God stopped it. Not only did he
- 39:34Speaker 1: stop it, but he dried it up. He dried it
- 39:38Speaker 1: up so that they could go across on dry land.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Notice the specificity of the text. It says not only
- 39:45Speaker 1: does God stop the water, but he dries up the mud.
- 39:48Speaker 1: He stops the water. He dries up the mud. He
- 39:51Speaker 1: stops the water. He dries up the mud. He stops
- 39:53Speaker 1: the water. He dries up the mud. God said when
- 39:55Speaker 1: you walk through this, you're not going to have no
- 39:58Speaker 1: sign of You're not going to look like you've been
- 40:00Speaker 1: through what you've been through. You're not going to have
- 40:03Speaker 1: no residue on your life. I didn't clean you up
- 40:06Speaker 1: of reproach for you to have a residue on your life.
- 40:09Speaker 1: People are not going to believe your testimony, so you
- 40:11Speaker 1: might as well shut up about it because they're not
- 40:13Speaker 1: going to believe it because I don't intend for no
- 40:15Speaker 1: mud to be left on your sandals when you come across.
- 40:19Speaker 1: You're going to walk across on dry ground and nobody
- 40:22Speaker 1: will ever know. So the Jordan, the Jordan has sectioned
- 40:38Speaker 1: off the wilderness from the promised land. But God said,
- 40:42Speaker 1: I'm going to give you access. Write that down. God said,
- 40:45Speaker 1: I'm going to give you divine access. I'm going to
- 40:48Speaker 1: give you access to something that you didn't have access
- 40:53Speaker 1: to before. I'm going to give you such access that
- 40:57Speaker 1: not only am I going to stop the flow, I'm
- 40:59Speaker 1: going to dry the ground. I'm going to stop the flow.
- 41:01Speaker 1: I'm going to dry the ground. I'm going to stop
- 41:03Speaker 1: the flow. I'm going to dry the ground. I'm going
- 41:05Speaker 1: to stop the flow. I'm going to dry the ground.
- 41:08Speaker 1: And all of this is done so that you can
- 41:09Speaker 1: have unbridled access to what other people have enjoyed for
- 41:14Speaker 1: years and you've never been able to get. And you
- 41:17Speaker 1: always thought your destiny was to live in where you
- 41:21Speaker 1: were born in. Because you were born in the desert.
- 41:24Speaker 1: You thought you'd die in the desert. But the devil
- 41:27Speaker 1: is alive. God said it is possible now. to be
- 41:29Speaker 1: born in a desert and die in the promised land.
- 41:33Speaker 1: God said, I'm getting ready to give you access. Who
- 41:36Speaker 1: am I talking to? I don't know who I'm talking to.
- 41:39Speaker 1: I'm talking to somebody. I'm talking to somebody. I'm talking
- 41:42Speaker 1: to somebody. Who am I talking to? I'm talking to somebody.
- 41:45Speaker 1: Is it somebody online? Is it somebody in Central Time Zone?
- 41:49Speaker 1: Is it somebody in Eastern Time? Is it somebody in Pacific?
- 41:52Speaker 1: Whatever time you're in, if I'm talking to you, holler
- 41:55Speaker 1: at your boy. Make some noise. Blow a whistle. Make
- 41:58Speaker 1: a sound. Put up an emoji. Let me know.
- 42:01Speaker 4: God!
- 42:15Speaker 1: Let me go deeper. Now they have been eating. They
- 42:21Speaker 1: have passed the moat. They have terrified the enemy. And
- 42:30Speaker 1: God has changed their diet. What you ate in the wilderness...
- 42:45Speaker 1: you will not need in the promised land. I fed
- 42:52Speaker 1: you for where you were. There is an association between
- 42:57Speaker 1: the manner you ate and and your clothes not wearing out,
- 43:02Speaker 1: and your shoes not wearing out. I sustained you in
- 43:07Speaker 1: the wilderness, but now I'm getting ready to deliver you
- 43:11Speaker 1: out of the wilderness so you won't have to eat
- 43:14Speaker 1: what you used to have to eat. Because now I'm
- 43:17Speaker 1: going to give you such an abundance that you're not
- 43:20Speaker 1: going to have to look up. You're going to have
- 43:22Speaker 1: to look out to receive what I'm about to give
- 43:25Speaker 1: next in your life. You've been looking up everything you got.
- 43:28Speaker 1: If God didn't send it, you didn't get it. But
- 43:30Speaker 1: God said, I'm going to bring you into a place
- 43:32Speaker 1: of abundance, which was where I created you in the
- 43:35Speaker 1: first place in the Garden of Eden. Where everything you
- 43:38Speaker 1: needed was growing all around you. And God said, I'm
- 43:40Speaker 1: going to stop you from looking up. You're not going
- 43:43Speaker 1: to have to pray for your car payment. You're not
- 43:45Speaker 1: going to have to pray for your house payment. You're
- 43:47Speaker 1: not going to have to pray for you can pay
- 43:49Speaker 1: your babysitter. God said, I'm going to put you in
- 43:51Speaker 1: a place where everything you need is within arm's reach.
- 43:54Speaker 1: It's all around you. It's everywhere. Who am I talking to?
- 43:58Speaker 1: Who am I talking to? I'm talking to somebody. I
- 44:00Speaker 1: feel like I'm prophesying to somebody. I feel like I'm
- 44:03Speaker 1: prophesying to somebody. And God said... Once you taste of
- 44:15Speaker 1: the food of what's yours, the manna will cease. The
- 44:26Speaker 1: manna will cease. The ceasing of the manna says there's
- 44:33Speaker 1: no going back to who you were. Let me tell
- 44:43Speaker 1: y'all because they didn't hear it. The ceasing of the
- 44:46Speaker 1: manna is God's way of letting you know that the
- 44:49Speaker 1: enemies you see today, you will see them no more.
- 44:53Speaker 1: There is no going back to who you used to be.
- 44:59Speaker 1: Let me try y'all. God says, I'm going to give
- 45:02Speaker 1: you such a stopping place in your life that all
- 45:05Speaker 1: the things that sustain you while you were waiting on
- 45:09Speaker 1: a stop, you're not going to need them anymore because
- 45:11Speaker 1: I'm going to completely mesmerize you and turn everything completely
- 45:15Speaker 1: around in your life. diet, your appetite, your disposition, your personality,
- 45:21Speaker 1: the way you walk, the way you dress, the way
- 45:24Speaker 1: you think, what you eat, what time you get up,
- 45:26Speaker 1: what time you go to bed. Everything is getting ready
- 45:29Speaker 1: to shift. Everything is about to change in your life.
- 45:33Speaker 1: God said, I'm bringing you to a stopping place. I'm
- 45:36Speaker 1: bringing you into a shift. I don't know who I'm
- 45:39Speaker 1: talking to, but whoever I'm talking to, you better get
- 45:42Speaker 1: this word. This word tonight is not for your entertainment.
- 45:46Speaker 1: It's It is for your deliverance. It is for your breakthrough.
- 45:50Speaker 1: God said, I am going to give you the power
- 45:53Speaker 1: to stop. Slap somebody and say, I got the power
- 45:57Speaker 1: to stop. You can't threaten me anymore. I got the
- 46:00Speaker 1: power to stop. You can't abuse me anymore. I got
- 46:03Speaker 1: the power to stop. You can't control me anymore. I
- 46:06Speaker 1: got the power to stop. Sin, you can't have power
- 46:10Speaker 1: over me. I got the power to stop. Profanity, you
- 46:13Speaker 1: can't control me. I got the power to stop. Needing
- 46:16Speaker 1: you to come back in my life, I got the
- 46:18Speaker 1: power to stop. So you got no more negotiating power
- 46:22Speaker 1: in my life because I have the power to stop.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Somebody holler, I got the power to stop. Tell them drugs,
- 46:30Speaker 1: I got the power to stop. Tell cocaine, I got
- 46:32Speaker 1: the power to stop. Tell amphetamines, I got the power
- 46:36Speaker 1: to stop. Tell white people, I got the power to stop.
- 46:40Speaker 1: My daddy did it, my granddaddy did it, but I
- 46:42Speaker 1: got the power to stop. I can't have this much
- 46:45Speaker 1: Holy Ghost and not have the power to stop. I
- 46:48Speaker 1: feel a mighty Russian wind about to hit this place
- 46:51Speaker 1: right now. Because somebody in this room just recognized you've
- 46:55Speaker 1: been waiting on the power and you got the power
- 46:57Speaker 1: right now. You got the power to stop. Hallelujah to God.
- 47:00Speaker 1: Type it on the line. Type it by faith. I
- 47:03Speaker 1: don't care if you feel it in your body or not.
- 47:05Speaker 1: Tell them I got the power to stop. I'm not
- 47:07Speaker 1: going to keep calling you because I got the power
- 47:09Speaker 1: to stop. I'm not going to keep chasing you because
- 47:12Speaker 1: I got the power to stop. I'm not going to
- 47:14Speaker 1: keep begging you to come back because I got the
- 47:16Speaker 1: power to stop. You don't need me. I don't need you.
- 47:18Speaker 1: I can go on by myself. I got the power
- 47:21Speaker 1: to stop. You can't use the same trick you used
- 47:24Speaker 1: to use on me because now I got the power.
- 47:34Speaker 1: Slap three people and say, I got the power to stop. Yeah, yeah,
- 47:38Speaker 1: I got the power to stop. Demons tremble when you
- 47:41Speaker 1: talk like that. Hell gets nervous when you talk like that.
- 47:44Speaker 1: Hexes are broken when you talk like that. Roots don't
- 47:48Speaker 1: work when you talk like that. Burning sage is not
- 47:51Speaker 1: needed when you talk like that. I got the power
- 47:54Speaker 1: to stop. I got the power to stop. No man
- 47:57Speaker 1: takes my life. I lay it down. If I lay
- 48:00Speaker 1: it down, I'll pick it back up again because I
- 48:03Speaker 1: got power coming back in my life. I got the
- 48:06Speaker 1: power to stop. I got the power to walk right.
- 48:08Speaker 1: I got the power to talk right. I got the
- 48:11Speaker 1: power to think right. I got the power to move.
- 48:14Speaker 1: I got the power to build. I got the power
- 48:17Speaker 1: to climb. I got the power to go forward. I
- 48:20Speaker 1: got the power to prosper. I got the power to endure.
- 48:24Speaker 1: I got the power to survive. You left me, thought
- 48:27Speaker 1: I was going crazy. You're wrong. I got the power
- 48:31Speaker 1: to survive.
- 48:32Speaker 2: Glory to God.
- 48:33Speaker 1: God will feed me. God will bless me. God will
- 48:36Speaker 1: move in my behalf. Shout yes, somebody. So today I'm
- 48:57Speaker 1: just talking a little bit. I'm almost finished. This is
- 49:00Speaker 1: Bible class. So I'm like, you know, yeah. I don't
- 49:12Speaker 1: know what's been barreling down at you saying you can't
- 49:14Speaker 1: control it, but God said you got the power to stop.
- 49:17Speaker 1: You got the power. You got the power to stop.
- 49:20Speaker 1: You should know the truth and the truth should set
- 49:22Speaker 1: you free. You got the power to stop. You got
- 49:24Speaker 1: the power. You got the power. You got the power.
- 49:28Speaker 1: Your neighbor don't have the power. Your boyfriend don't have
- 49:31Speaker 1: the power. Your sugar daddy don't have the power. Sweet
- 49:35Speaker 1: mama don't have the power. You got the power to stop.
- 49:38Speaker 1: For where God is getting ready to take you, there's
- 49:41Speaker 1: some stuff that's got to cease. There's some things that's
- 49:44Speaker 1: got to cease in your life. You cried your last
- 49:47Speaker 1: tear yesterday. God is, oh, I got to quit because
- 49:50Speaker 1: I'm about to start something. If I start something in
- 49:53Speaker 1: this place, I'm going to mess up the whole Bible
- 49:55Speaker 1: class because I feel the anointing of the Holy Ghost
- 49:58Speaker 1: about to break forth in this room. I got the
- 50:01Speaker 1: power to stop. I'm Give me my power back. Give
- 50:05Speaker 1: me my testimony back. Give me my righteousness back. Give
- 50:08Speaker 1: me my voice back. Give me my power back. Give
- 50:12Speaker 1: me my authority back. Give me my prayer language. Give
- 50:15Speaker 1: me my anointing. Give me my altar. Give me my glory.
- 50:20Speaker 1: Give me my story. Give me my children. Ask for
- 50:24Speaker 1: me in my house. Hallelujah. Watch this. Watch this. Are
- 50:42Speaker 1: y'all getting anything out of this Bible class tonight? What
- 50:46Speaker 1: drove me to the text is the continuity between the
- 50:52Speaker 1: moat and the manna. The moat and the manna both stopped.
- 51:04Speaker 1: The moat and the manna. Stop. Final verse. Joshua runs
- 51:11Speaker 1: up on a man and he says, are you on
- 51:15Speaker 1: my side or the enemy's side? Now this is the
- 51:21Speaker 1: profundity of this moment because what is on trial is
- 51:27Speaker 1: Joshua's method. All my life I had to fight. I
- 51:37Speaker 1: had to fight my brothers. I had to fight all
- 51:41Speaker 1: my life. His old job was built around warfare. So
- 51:47Speaker 1: he runs up on the guy wanting to know, you
- 51:50Speaker 1: want to fight? Whose side are you on? Because he's
- 51:54Speaker 1: still thinking like who he was. And God said, if
- 52:00Speaker 1: you keep thinking like who you were, you're not going
- 52:03Speaker 1: to be prepared for who you are. This battle is
- 52:07Speaker 1: not going to require your talent. Your method has got
- 52:11Speaker 1: to change. I don't need your swords. I don't need
- 52:14Speaker 1: your shield. In fact, I'm going to send a captain.
- 52:16Speaker 1: captain of the host of the angels to come down
- 52:20Speaker 1: to work this out in your life. And all you
- 52:22Speaker 1: got to do is walk around the wall and the
- 52:25Speaker 1: wall is going to come tumbling down. And God said
- 52:28Speaker 1: he's going to give you a victory that does not
- 52:31Speaker 1: require your old methods. So if you were conniving, you
- 52:35Speaker 1: don't have to be conniving. If you were nervous, you
- 52:37Speaker 1: don't have to be nervous. If you had to fight,
- 52:40Speaker 1: you don't have to fight. God's about to change your method.
- 52:44Speaker 1: He's going to give you the victory without sweat. He's
- 52:47Speaker 1: going to give you the victory without labor. Oh, show me. See,
- 52:52Speaker 1: I need a handheld because when I get something in
- 52:55Speaker 1: my hand like this, I keep messing up. Hallelujah to God.
- 52:59Speaker 1: Your whole method has to change, Joshua. Joshua, you are
- 53:04Speaker 1: not who you were. You are not a general in
- 53:09Speaker 1: the army up under Moses. Moses is dead. Your methods
- 53:14Speaker 1: have got to change. You can't think like you're under Moses.
- 53:18Speaker 1: Moses is dead. You got to think like the leader
- 53:21Speaker 1: you are. And if you running around here with swords
- 53:28Speaker 1: and stuff, you don't understand the role I put you in.
- 53:34Speaker 1: You're not going to win this battle with your hand.
- 53:38Speaker 1: You're going to win this battle with your head. As
- 53:41Speaker 1: a man thinketh in his head, so is he. Get
- 53:44Speaker 1: your head together. The promotion of the Lord is disruptive
- 53:59Speaker 1: because it disrupts how you see yourself. And if you
- 54:08Speaker 1: don't change your methods, look, if you're a dirty person
- 54:15Speaker 1: and I move you in a nice house, it won't
- 54:18Speaker 1: be long before the nice house gets dirty Because you
- 54:23Speaker 1: got a new house, but you got an old method.
- 54:26Speaker 1: If you a mouthy person, everybody comes in your life,
- 54:30Speaker 1: you're going to run them off with your nasty mouth.
- 54:33Speaker 1: Even the nice people are going to get tired of
- 54:35Speaker 1: your mouth because you're using your old method. In fact,
- 54:39Speaker 1: you're talking to the man you got as if he
- 54:42Speaker 1: was the man you had until he becomes what you
- 54:46Speaker 1: call him because the power of life and death is
- 54:49Speaker 1: in your tongue. And until you learn how to treat
- 54:52Speaker 1: what you prayed for, you're going to lose what God
- 54:55Speaker 1: sends you. Because you got to develop a method that
- 54:58Speaker 1: fits where you are, not where you were. So you
- 55:02Speaker 1: got to have enough faith to drop your sword and
- 55:05Speaker 1: drop your hand and fall down on your face and
- 55:08Speaker 1: humble yourself before God. Because God said that the most shaitan.
- 55:13Speaker 1: God said, if you humble yourself before him, he'll show
- 55:16Speaker 1: you how to get the victory. You're not going to
- 55:18Speaker 1: get the victory using your old weapons and.
- 55:21Speaker 2: Your old tools.
- 55:22Speaker 1: God said, I'm going to show you how to get
- 55:24Speaker 1: the victory, but you're going to have to lay on
- 55:26Speaker 1: your face before God to get the victory. Somebody throw
- 55:30Speaker 1: your hands up and say victory. Victory. God said, I'm
- 55:33Speaker 1: going to break the curse off of your life. I'm
- 55:35Speaker 1: going to break the struggle off of your life. I'm
- 55:37Speaker 1: going to break the back of debt off of your life.
- 55:40Speaker 1: I'm going to break depression off of your life. I'm
- 55:42Speaker 1: going to break suicide off of your life. I'm going
- 55:45Speaker 1: to break drug addictions off of your life. I'm going
- 55:47Speaker 1: to break whoremongering off your life. I'm going to break
- 55:50Speaker 1: it off of your life. I'm going to give you
- 55:52Speaker 1: the power to stop, but you can't get it standing
- 55:56Speaker 1: on your feet. You're going to have to lay on
- 55:58Speaker 1: your face before God. Hand them out. Bible said, take
- 56:03Speaker 1: off your shoes from the crowd. Y'all got to stop
- 56:10Speaker 1: because I got some rest and I'm ready to start
- 56:13Speaker 1: something up in this place. The ground you stand on,
- 56:16Speaker 1: the ground you're standing on right now, it's not like
- 56:20Speaker 1: the ground you was on before. The ground you stand
- 56:23Speaker 1: on is holy ground. And when you get on holy ground,
- 56:28Speaker 1: you got to lay out on your face. And Joshua said,
- 56:49Speaker 1: the only thing I want is to hear what God
- 56:54Speaker 1: is saying to me. And if I have to stop
- 56:58Speaker 1: being who I was, if I have to stop being
- 57:06Speaker 1: who I was, then I'm going to take my shoes
- 57:12Speaker 1: off And be barefoot. I'd rather be barefoot and anointed.
- 57:43Speaker 1: to
- 57:47Speaker 1: come out of your shoes for the crown you stand on.
- 57:52Speaker 2: It's holy!
- 58:00Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, I'm coming out of my shoes. I'm
- 58:03Speaker 1: coming out of my bag. I'm coming out of my attitude.
- 58:07Speaker 1: I'm coming out of my habits. I'm coming out of
- 58:09Speaker 1: my stuff. I'm coming out of my disposition because this
- 58:14Speaker 1: joy that I have, the world didn't give it to
- 58:17Speaker 1: me and the world can't take it away. And whatever
- 58:20Speaker 1: I got to come out of tonight, Tonight, tonight, tonight. Tonight, tonight, tonight. Tonight, tonight, tonight.
- 58:29Speaker 1: I don't mean next month. I don't mean next week.
- 58:31Speaker 1: I don't mean next Sunday. I don't mean the 4th
- 58:34Speaker 1: of July. God said you got to come out of
- 58:36Speaker 1: it tonight. Come out with your hands up. I got
- 58:40Speaker 1: you surrounded. I got you surrounded. The Holy Ghost is
- 58:44Speaker 1: all around you. And God said if you come out tonight,
- 58:48Speaker 1: I I will deliver you.
- 58:51Speaker 2: Somebody shout unto God.
- 59:04Speaker 1: So he gave him the power to stop the moat.
- 59:10Speaker 1: the power to stop the manna but the most important
- 59:16Speaker 1: power is to change the method because once you get
- 59:24Speaker 1: locked into a method I can move you into a
- 59:28Speaker 1: new place But you'll still use an old method. And
- 59:33Speaker 1: your method will cancel out the newness if you don't
- 59:37Speaker 1: change your method. I hasten to a close. There's somebody
- 59:43Speaker 1: in this room, I don't know who you are. God
- 59:46Speaker 1: is talking directly to you. There's somebody watching over this internet.
- 59:50Speaker 1: God is talking directly to you. And you got to
- 59:54Speaker 1: come out some stuff. You got to come out some
- 59:56Speaker 1: stuff and you know it. For what God is about
- 59:59Speaker 1: to do in your life. The Lord told me to
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: tell you one thing. You have the power to stop.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: You have the power. I know it's been telling you
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: you can't stop. I know you've been telling yourself you
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: can't stop. I know you've been telling yourself you can't
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: help it, you can't change. This is how you are.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: Your auntie was like this. Your grandmama was like this.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: The devil is a lie. God said you have the
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: power to stop. I'll put my hand in your Jordan.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: I'll dry up the muddy places. I'll stop the manna
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: I had to feed you when you were in the
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: dry place. And I want to teach you a new method.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: I want to teach you a method. The ground you
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: stand on is holy ground. Now you got a choice tonight, Yahshua, Joshua.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: You have a choice tonight, Joshua. You can either stand
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: there and look cute and have another Wednesday night service
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: or you can come out of your shoes for the
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: ground you stand on is holy ground. What makes a
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: ground holy, Bishop, whatever makes a ground holy is wherever
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: God is. Wherever the anointing of the Lord is, it
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: is holy ground. And if you believe that the anointing
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: of God is in this place, then you are standing
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: on the holy ground. And I decree and declare right
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: now in the name of Jesus that whatever was on
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: you has got to break off. If you're watching online,
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: whatever was on you has got to break off. If
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: you're streaming by video, whatever was on you has got
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: to break off. If you're an e-member, whatever was on
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: you has got to break off. has got to break off.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: There's somebody watching in the Caribbean. Whatever's on you has
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: got to break off. There's somebody watching in London. Whatever
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: is on you has got to break off. This is
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: your day of deliverance. This is your day of breakthrough.
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: This is your day of healing. This is your day
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: of complete deliverance over everything that God had on your life.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: This is your day of breakthrough. You better seize it
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: right now. Hallelujah, Joshua 5 and 1 is your word.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: It is your word from God. Thus saith the Lord
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: to you today, the enemies that you see today, you
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: will see them no more. Joshua 5.1 is your scripture.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: It's your word from the Lord. Your enemies are going
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: to be terrified when they see what God stops in
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: your life. They're not even going to understand you. Your
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: children are not even going to know how to deal
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: with you. Your wife ain't going to understand you. Because
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: what used to send you into rage, it's not going
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: to work anymore. You've got the power to stop. You've
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: got the power to stop you. You've got the power tonight. Tonight, tonight, tonight.

- 1:03:35Speaker 1: got to beg. I mean whoever wants a breakthrough. Run

- 1:04:01Speaker 3: The devil is a liar. The devil is a liar.
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: I can't hear you. Open your mouth like you want deliverance.
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: Joshua 5 and 1. God's going to shock your enemies.
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: God's going to shock your haters. You ain't got to
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: tell them off. God's going to shut their mouth. When
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: God gets through.
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: Making a way for you, they're going to have to
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: turn you loose. When God gets through making a way
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: for you, they're going to have to turn you loose.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: When God gets through making a way for you, They're
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: going to have to throw their hands up and walk
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: away when God gets to make it away for you.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm talking to, but I feel
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: an anointing in this place. The Spirit of the Lord
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: is in this place. You're standing on holy ground. The

- 1:07:17Speaker 1: pull that keeps pulling you down, God's going to stop it.
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: The centrifugal force that's held you back, God's going to

- 1:07:31Speaker 1: is going to stop it. I decree and declare in
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: the name of Jesus, God is going to stop it.
