  SPEAKER_02: You can't separate the eternal God from His Word.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_02: The scriptures teach us in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_02: The same was in the beginning with God.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_02: All things that were created were created by Him.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_02: And in Him was life, and that life was the light of men.

  SPEAKER_02: You feel God?

  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I feel God.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_02: Hallelujah.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.

  SPEAKER_02: Amen.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: So God speaks.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_02: He speaks to his people.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_02: We just have to be able to hear what the Lord is saying.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_02: Interesting here.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_02: The story of Elijah.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_02: Y'all know the story.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: Elijah, the prophet of God.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_02: God provided for Elijah.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_02: Amen.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: God made a way for Elijah even in the wilderness, fed him twice a day with a raven.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_02: Brought him bread and meat.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_02: Gave him water at the brook.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_02: Then the brook dried up.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_02: Then he took him to Zarephath to a widow woman.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_02: And she provided for the man of God.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_02: The brook dried up to get him to move.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_02: There's sometimes God would allow things to dry up in your life to get you to move in the direction that God wants you to move in.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: And oftentimes we spend a lot of times worrying and crying about why this is dried up.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_02: And what's wrong with what went wrong with this situation or this thing?
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: It's dried up because God is trying to get you to move, to find God's purpose, plan, and will for your life.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_02: Had the brook never dried up, here Elijah been still there waiting on God to feed him twice a day.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: When you're comfortable, God will get you to move out of your comfort zone.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, glory to God.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_02: I see right now this is gonna be good.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_02: Out of your comfort zone.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: I thank God that I don't predetermine what I'm gonna say, that I don't write sermons and I got to follow a script.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_02: No, I follow the words of the Lord.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: And I just start talking to God, give me something else to say.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: But I know God He is distinct in His direction and His purpose and plan for your life.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: And somebody is seeking God.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_02: Even right now, that God will give them direction, God will give them a plan, God will give them purpose for their life.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_02: If that's you, tell God thank you.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: Because you wound up at the right place at the right time.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: Hallelujah.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: God was preparing the prophet, He was preparing him to go to uh Mount Carmel.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_02: And as he was going to Mount Carmel, Amen, he would fight against the prophets of Baal.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_02: 50 prophets, amen.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_02: He would fight against them.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_02: And uh he would say, Uh, go dig a trench, and and you get on the altar and you make a sacrifice, and and and and you call on your God, and the God that answers by fire, we know that he's God.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: And so the prophets of Baal got up and they started got on their altar and they started calling on Baal.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_02: From sunup to sundown, almost calling on Baal, and nothing happened.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_02: Then they got real desperate and started cutting themselves with knives and bleeding, trying to get an answer from their false God, and nothing happened.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: Then Elijah said, Well, here, check this out.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_02: Here's what I want you to do.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: I want you to build trenches around the altar that I build.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: And when I build trenches around, dig trenches around it, and I want you to go get water.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_02: Now, and you got to understand that they're in a season of drought.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_02: Because Elijah prophesied that until God moved, there's going to be, amen, a dearth and not rain for three and a half years by the word of the prophet.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_02: Amen.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_02: And so he said, Go get water.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_02: Where did they get water?
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: They got off of Mount Carmel and went down in the Mediterranean Sea and carried water up back to the mountain and filled all the trenches with water.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_02: Who did that?
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_02: The Gibbonites.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: They're the one that tricked Joshua.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_02: And they said they should be hearers of woods and carriers of water.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: Amen.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_02: This is a word church.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: And so if you're going to be able to keep up with me, you're going to have to read your Bible.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: You're going to have prayer.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_02: You're going to have fast.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_02: Or you're going to be saying, What are he talking about?
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_02: You can have come Bible study.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_02: Or you're going to miss what God is saying and doing.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_02: Amen.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_02: And so after he took the water, he said, throw the water.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_02: He got on the altar.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_02: He said, Give me a sacrifice to offer unto the Lord.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_02: And he got on the altar and offered up the sacrifice.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_02: We can see what God is going to answer by fire.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to make it even harder.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to pour water in the trenches because fire and water don't match.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_02: And we can see.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: And he got up there, Elijah did, and called on the God of heaven and earth.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: And the Bible says fire came down from heaven.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_02: Licked up the sacrifice.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_02: Roll down the trenches of water.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_02: Fire ran on water.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_02: Shh.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: Went through the trenches of water and took the sacrifice.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_02: And God received the sacrifice.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_02: They said, Well, we guess that your God is God.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: And they killed the prophets of Baal.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_02: Because God answers by fire.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_02: That's why when God gives you the Holy Ghost, He gives you the Holy Ghost and fire.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_02: Anybody got any fire today?
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: I refuse to let anything or anybody put out my fire.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_02: The devil is a liar.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: I refuse to allow the devil to let situations and circumstances put out my fire.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to keep the fire burning.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to stir up the gift.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to keep blessing God.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to keep believing God.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to keep trusting in the living God.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to let my fire go out.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: Some of y'all let your fire go out.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_02: Glory.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_02: God comes down on Mount Carmel and shows who is the real eternal God.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: So I imagine now the prophet is feeling pretty good.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_02: That God answers by fire.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_02: They killed the false prophets.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: He did what God wanted him to do.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: But whenever God gives you a victory, you gotta make sure that you keep that victory.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: Because the more God bless you, the more the devil is gonna try to trick you into not believing God.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_02: Don't get the victory and then let your guard down.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_02: Don't get the victory and then let your guard down.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_02: Don't let God show himself to you powerfully, but then you let your guard down and let the devil bind you up again.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: That's what happens in the church.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_02: You come to church and get free.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_02: Then you leave out and let the devil bind you up.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_02: Then you come back in here bound up.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_02: God got to loose you again and you come back bound up.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: But I heard the word of the Lord say, who the Son of Man sets free is free indeed.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: There are free people in here today.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_02: Where are my free people at?
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_02: That don't serve God based on situation and circumstances.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_02: Don't serve God listening to the voice of the enemy.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: But serve God by experience.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_02: I've done been through something, and God brought me out of it.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_02: And if God brought me out of that, he'll bring me out of this.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_02: Who can serve God by experience?
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: God is a He is a merciful God.

  SPEAKER_02: Yes.

  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_02: Power of God.

  SPEAKER_02: God just gave him the victory at Mount Carmen in chapter 18.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_02: Show fire.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: Licked up the water.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine?

  SPEAKER_02: That's the God that we serve.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_02: And y'all thinking that nothing's something's too hard for God to do?
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_02: And doubting God's power, doubting God's love, doubting what God can do for you, the devil is a liar.

• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's what the devil wants to do.

• 15:01
  SPEAKER_02: A lot of times we like to hook up with folk that don't have no faith.

  SPEAKER_02: So you look around the room, you go slap somebody high five that you know got some faith, that believed the Lord, that's trusting in God.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_02: Don't tell me that God can't do it.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_02: Don't tell me that God won't do it.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_02: You got to believe somebody's got the same faith that you got.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.

  SPEAKER_02: The devil's taking your soul.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_02: God is just trying to build up your experience.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_02: And the devil is to convince you that it ain't gonna happen.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_02: As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he, the Lord told me to tell you.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_02: See, you got to have this thing deep down in the innermost, sacred most chamber of your soul.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_02: You got to believe God become hell or high water.

  SPEAKER_02: You got to believe God when your friends and those acquaintance fall off, when you're all by yourself, you got to believe God by yourself.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_02: Amen.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_02: You're told about this time tomorrow.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_02: And when he saw that and heard that, he arose and went running for his life.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_02: Now he had just gotten a victory.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_02: Now the devil's got him on the run.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: Just overcame.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_02: God bless.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_02: One chapter later, he's in the run for his life.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_02: Running.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: And he came to Bersheba.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_02: Bersheba, which belonged to Judah.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: And he left his servant there.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_02: Fear came on him.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_02: Let me tell you something.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_02: Fear is not of God.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_02: When you are in the middle of something and fear comes on you, that spirit comes from the devil.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: For the Bible tells us God is not giving us the spirit of fear.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_02: But power, look, and a sound mind.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_02: My mind is sound.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, my mind is sound.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_02: I know in whom I have belief.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm more than persuaded that God is able to keep that which has been committed unto him.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_02: He's able to keep me.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_02: He's able to help me.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_02: Fears of the devil.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yes?
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: The spirit of fear.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_02: It's a spirit.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_02: You ever been focused with a situation or walked in a room and a certain person there, and you get fearful?
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_02: You've just walked into a spirit of the enemy.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_02: Afraid to make life-changing decisions and choices.

• 19:11
  SPEAKER_02: Fear is an attack by the devil to make you feel like, amen, God won't do it for you, that God don't love you.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_02: But God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_02: That comes from the devil.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_02: Fear of change.
• 19:31

  SPEAKER_02: Just tell them you speak to the air because don't look nobody in the face because they don't want you to know that they're scared of the devil.

• 21:13
  SPEAKER_02: Whom shall I fear?
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_02: The Lord is the strength of my life, and whom shall I be afraid?
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_02: When my enemies and the wicked came up against me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and they fell.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_02: Although a host would encamp against me, one thing that I might desire, that I might be in the house of the Lord, that I might acquire his temple.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_02: Not afraid.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_02: He left his servant behind.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_02: Fear was on him.

• 23:18
  SPEAKER_02: Now she's speaking in tongues.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_02: The devil telling her she ain't got it.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_02: Telling her she's making it up now.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_02: She knows right well she wasn't making it up.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_02: Power of God all on her.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_02: And he's telling her, You ain't got it, that ain't right.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_02: That's what he'll do.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_02: That's how he does.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_02: Because he's a liar.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_02: And she's full of power and full of fire.

• 23:45
  SPEAKER_02: Give not place to the devil.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_02: Keep your mind fortified.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_02: Don't you play around with that devil?
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_02: Don't give him no space.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_02: Let the devil know your mind belongs to God.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I serve God with my mind.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, my mind belongs to the Lord.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_02: Don't think about things too long.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_02: Don't let the devil put you into a place where you're just sitting there meditating on what he's saying.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_02: Instead of meditating on the word of God.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_02: He'll build up strongholds in your life.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_02: He's just trying to see will you listen to him?
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_02: I've got to go.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_02: The Bible says.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_02: And uh he journeyed a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a juniper tree.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_02: Fear has got him now.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_02: And he requested for himself that he might die.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_02: He said, It is enough now.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_02: So he then went from having victory to fear and depression from God blessing him with the victory.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_02: And now, so fearful, he just wants to die.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_02: Don't have no hope.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_02: We're talking about the man of God, the prophet, the prophet of God, who God has called to speak to him and do the will of God.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_02: See, whenever God calls you to have a plan for your life, the devil's gonna be on you harder than somebody who don't know who they are.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_02: That's why God wants you to hear this word.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_02: That you can trust in nobody but the living God and make a decision in your life.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna do what God wants me to do.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_02: No matter what comes, no matter what goes, I am determined.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_02: No matter how it turns out, then I'm gonna give God the preeminence in my life, and I'm gonna obey the Lord.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_02: Am I gonna obey the Lord?
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, here I go.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_02: He said I might die.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_02: Take away my life.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not better than my father's.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_02: He's depressed, fearful, just had the victory.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_02: Now he'd have lost it.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_02: Come on, Savvy.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_02: Savvy trying to help me.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_02: He laid under that juniper tree.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_02: Now God has to intervene because he knows that this man is fearful and he's depressed and he wants to die.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_02: But God has so much love for his people.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_02: How do you know that the Bible said the angel touched them?
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_02: Now the angel don't operate on his own, they do the bidding of God.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_02: And so the angel just can't come and tell you something.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_02: God took the angel.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_02: God is smashing an angel here today for some of us.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_02: That we can get rid of the fear, get rid of depression, get rid of anxiety, get rid of bidding one way, one day, up and down, up and down, up and down.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_02: So that we can walk in the strength of God.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_02: Who wants to walk in the strength of God?
• 27:18
  unknown: Thank you, God.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_02: The angel said unto him, Arise and eat.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_02: I want you to write this down.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_02: The first thing in getting back with God must be being refocused.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_02: Somebody say refocused.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_02: The angel touched him, setting him arise and eat.

  SPEAKER_02: And God is trying to get us back refocused.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_02: God sent an angel.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_02: Today the Lord is sending another ministering spirit, the preacher.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_02: The Bible said, Are we not all angels of ministering spirits?
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_02: Sent forth to speak the things of God.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_02: Tell somebody get refocused.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_02: And he looked, and behold, there was a cake baked on the coals.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_02: Same God that was feeding him with ravens and bread at the brook.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_02: The same God that used a widow woman to supply his food was now cooking for him.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_02: Baked coals in a cruise of water at his head.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_02: And he did eat and drink and lay down again.
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_02: Lord is trying to get him refocused.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_02: Not being afraid of Jezebel or any kind of other bell.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_02: And the angel of the Lord came again the second time.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_02: Somebody said a second time.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_02: And touched him again.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_02: And said, Arise and eat.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_02: Because the journey is too great for thee.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_02: You need to be strengthened.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_02: You've got to get back refocused.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_02: And the only way that you can get restrengthened is that you got to eat.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_02: And the only way we can be refocused and get strengthened, we've got to eat the word of God.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_02: We need this word.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_02: Folks stay at home.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_02: Can't get anything from God.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_02: Won't crack the book.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, they're mad at me when I preach like this, but it's the truth.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_02: Won't crack the book.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_02: Won't read.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_02: Won't come to Bible study.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_02: Won't talk to God.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_02: And God said, You've got to get focused.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_02: You've got to get fed.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_02: He said, desire since the milk of the word that you might grow thereby.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_02: We need the word of the Lord.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_02: The Bible says.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_02: He arose and did eat and drink, and went in that strength of that meat forty days and forty nights.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_02: Prophet fasted.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_02: 40 days and forty nights.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_02: We can't fast, some of us one day, two days, three days.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_02: But when you need something from God, you'll fast.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_02: When you want to hear God's voice, you'll study.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_02: You'll read.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_02: You'll fast.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_02: You'll put that plate down.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_02: When you really want something from God.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know about you, but I really want something from God.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_02: The Bible says he went into Mount Horeb, the mount of God.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_02: Now he gets repositioned.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_02: That's another re-word.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_02: Reposition.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_02: He had to get refocused.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_02: Then he repositioned himself to get into the presence of God.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_02: You know, Jesus said, Without me, you can do nothing.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_02: The enemy will convince you that you're okay, going day by day, not hearing from God.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_02: Not searching for God.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_02: He'll make you think that you're okay.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_02: Till a crisis comes.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_02: Then when a crisis comes, you realize you're not okay.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_02: That's how the enemy is.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_02: It's my job to call him out.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_02: My job to call him out.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_02: If the devil is talking, he's lying.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_02: Because that's what he is, a liar.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_02: He's a liar.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_02: The Bible says that he came thither into a cave.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_02: And uh behold, the word of the Lord came to him.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_02: He said unto him, What are you doing here?
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_02: Elijah?
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_02: I just gave you the victory.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_02: Now the enemies got you in a cave.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_02: Fearful and depressed.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_02: God was wondering, why are you here?
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_02: You're supposed to be doing my work.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_02: You're supposed to be doing, I gave you the victory.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_02: Why are you now in a cave?

  SPEAKER_02: He wants to draw, drive you into a cave.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_02: A place of non-existence, a place isolated by yourself and alone.
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_02: It blew God's mind.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_02: Now God knows everything.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_02: But he asked him, see, you you got to be careful when God asks you a question that you already know.
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_02: You already know the answer.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_02: You're fearful and depressed.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_02: But he's trying to stir me.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_02: What are you doing here?
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_02: You should be living your best life.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_02: What are you doing in this situation?
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_02: Why are you here?
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_02: And I just blessed you.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_02: He was in a place that he never thought he'd be in.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_02: He's in a cave with a cave mentality.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_02: Hiding from Jezebel.
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_02: Careful.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_02: God says, What what what why are you here?
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_02: What's got you in this place?
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_02: Now for me.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_02: God asked me a question.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_02: I'm telling Lord, you already know.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_02: I already know.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_02: Lord help me.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_02: You already know God.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_02: I'm scared.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_02: That's not a place that God wants us to be in.
• 35:21
  unknown: No, no.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_02: He wants us to trust in him.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_02: Not sometimes, at all times.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_02: The Bible says, here's what he said.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_02: He said, Lord, I have been jealous for the Lord God of hosts, for the children of Israel have forsaken the covenant.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_02: Lord, Israel has forgotten all about you.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_02: They've thrown down your altars and they've slain your prophets with the sword.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_02: And I, even I only am left.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_02: And now they seek my life to take it away.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_02: Mistake number one, you're not the only one.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_02: You're not the only one going through something.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_02: You're not the only one being tried.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_02: You're not the only one going through tribulation.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_02: You're not the only one, amen, that the devil's attacking.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_02: You're not the only one that's trying to live for God.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_02: You're not the only one.
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_02: So he thinks he's the only one.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_02: And God has to straighten him out here.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_02: And the Lord said to him, Go forth.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_02: So he redirects him.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_02: Next word.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_02: He gives him redirection.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_02: He said, Go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_02: Now he's in the cave.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_02: The Lord tells him, Go in the mount and stand before the Lord.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not coming in the cave to get you.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_02: You've got to come out of your cave.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_02: Uh-oh.
• 37:01
  SPEAKER_02: Uh-oh.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_02: The Lord just says something right there.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm going to show you.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_02: He says, go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord.
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_02: In other words, you've got to come out of that cave and get in my presence.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_02: The Bible says, Behold, the Lord passed by.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_02: And a great and strong wind shook the mountain and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord.
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_02: Good God Almighty.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_02: But the Lord was not in the wind.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_02: After the wind, there was an earthquake.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_02: But the Lord was not in the earthquake.
• 38:03
  SPEAKER_02: After the earthquake, there was a fire.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_02: But the Lord was not in the fire.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_02: And then I'll still small voice.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_02: God is not in the noise.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_02: God is in the state.
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_02: Some of y'all are so captivated with playing music.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_02: Some of y'all are so captivated by listening at the TV.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_02: Some of y'all are so captivated by people talking to you and making noise around you.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_02: God is not in the noise.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_02: God is in the stillness.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_02: Where it's quiet.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_02: You've got to turn folk off that have your ear.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_02: You've got to turn the TV off.
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_02: Turn the radio off.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_02: You've got to turn the computer off.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_02: And you've got to get into a place where you can hear his still, quiet voice.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_02: The Lord speaketh once, yea, twice.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_02: And man perceiveth not.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_02: Some of you, God can't speak to you until you go to sleep.
• 39:38
  SPEAKER_02: When deep sleep falls upon man, then God opens up his ears and seals his instruction.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_02: Why?
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_02: That he might keep man from going down in the pit.
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_02: The hide pride is from a man.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_02: We've let too much noise infiltrate into our life.
• 39:58

• 52:17
  SPEAKER_02: Come on out of your cave.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_02: Come on out of your cage.

  SPEAKER_02: You've been in there too long.
• 52:28
  SPEAKER_02: Worrying about the opinions of others.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_02: Worrying about, amen, how you're gonna make it.
• 52:33
  SPEAKER_02: Worrying about how it's gonna happen.
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_02: God wants you to hear his voice.
• 52:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_02: You've got to have somebody that sees God's promise in you more than you see it in yourself.
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_02: You've got to have the man of God that sees your promise, that hears the voice of God to bring you out of your cave.

  SPEAKER_02: You can't hear God in a cave.
• 53:17
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta come out.
• 53:20
  SPEAKER_02: See, the church has it backwards.
• 53:22
  SPEAKER_02: They want God to do everything, and they don't want to do nothing.
• 53:27
  SPEAKER_02: But without faith, it's impossible to please God.
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_02: So him stepping out of the cave was an act of faith.
• 53:36
  SPEAKER_02: And by the act of faith, God spoke to him.
• 53:40
  SPEAKER_02: And he heard the Lord say, Go.
• 53:42
  SPEAKER_02: Anybody heard the Lord say go?
• 53:47
  SPEAKER_02: Listen to me.
• 53:48
  SPEAKER_02: There are times when you got to get away from the spirit of familiarity.
• 53:53
  SPEAKER_02: There's times when you got to get away from folk that are in your ear.
• 53:58
  SPEAKER_02: There's times when you just gotta get alone and sit and wait till God speaks to you.
• 54:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I know the voice of God.
• 54:07
  SPEAKER_02: And God is speaking to y'all now.

  SPEAKER_02: In the cave, you can't see.
• 54:47
  SPEAKER_02: You can't hear.
• 54:49
  SPEAKER_02: All you hear is things and noise.
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_02: And that's not God.
• 54:54
  SPEAKER_02: God speaks quietly.
• 54:57
  SPEAKER_02: You got to come out and see what God is saying.

• 55:21
  SPEAKER_02: He got you thinking, Amen, that you're not all that God called you to be.
• 55:25
  SPEAKER_02: He's making you doubt what God is pulling on you for your life.
• 55:28
  SPEAKER_02: My assignment today is gonna help you walk out of the cave.
• 55:32
  SPEAKER_02: I got enough anointing on me to help you walk out of the cave.
• 55:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, you're hanging around with the wrong folk that have no power, no anointing, no authority.

  SPEAKER_02: You can't even breathe.
• 56:08
  SPEAKER_02: Can't even breathe.
• 56:10
  SPEAKER_02: Dry hair, dry bones.
• 56:12
  SPEAKER_02: You go in the wrong cave, you won't even be able to breathe.
• 56:15
  SPEAKER_02: You'll suffocate and die.
• 56:19
  SPEAKER_02: God wants you to trust him.
• 56:22
  SPEAKER_02: My assignment is to help you come out of that cave.
• 56:27
  SPEAKER_02: But you got to do something.
• 56:29
  SPEAKER_02: Don't call me before any snatching on you.

  SPEAKER_02: My back hurting too.
• 56:36
  SPEAKER_02: Something you're gonna have to do.
• 56:38
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta stop listening to the wrong voice.
• 56:43
  SPEAKER_02: Glory be to God.
• 56:45
  SPEAKER_02: I feel a breakthrough.
• 56:49
  SPEAKER_02: There's freedom outside of the box.
• 56:54
  SPEAKER_02: There's freedom.
• 56:55
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I don't mind saying this because it's my past.
• 56:59
  SPEAKER_02: I've been in a box.
• 57:00
  SPEAKER_02: I've been in a cell.
• 57:03
  SPEAKER_02: And the day that I got liberated, I got out of from incarceration.
• 57:09
  SPEAKER_02: I cried.
• 57:11
  SPEAKER_02: The night before I left jail, I cried.
• 57:16
  SPEAKER_02: See, I got the Holy Ghost on work release.
• 57:20
  SPEAKER_02: I was full of the power of God.
• 57:22
  SPEAKER_02: 18 months I studied the word of God, read the word of God, didn't watch TV, didn't listen to nothing, didn't listen to nobody.
• 57:28
  SPEAKER_02: I read the word of God.
• 57:30
  SPEAKER_02: That's how I know about God.
• 57:33
  SPEAKER_02: God filled me with his power on work release.
• 57:36
  SPEAKER_02: Brother Mike's old ragged card calling on the name of the Lord.
• 57:40
  SPEAKER_02: I filled with the Holy Ghost.
• 57:43
  SPEAKER_02: Went back to incarceration full of the power of God.
• 57:47
  SPEAKER_02: Amen.
• 57:47
  SPEAKER_02: But the night of my release, I cried because that cell was my cave.
• 57:55
  SPEAKER_02: And I was blocked from the things of the world.
• 57:58
  SPEAKER_02: And I cried because I knew I was coming out of that cave.
• 58:01
  SPEAKER_02: And now I'm gonna have to live for God.
• 58:06
  SPEAKER_02: You got to come on out and live for God.
• 58:10
  SPEAKER_02: You've made your cave your sanctuary.
• 58:12
  SPEAKER_02: I'm talking to you.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_02: You got to come out of that cave now and live for God.
• 58:17
  SPEAKER_02: Anyone want to come out and live for God?
• 58:20
  SPEAKER_02: In the name of the Lord.
• 58:21
  SPEAKER_02: Somebody give the Lord a hand clap.
• 58:25
  SPEAKER_02: I think I'm done.
• 58:28
  SPEAKER_02: I think I'm done.
• 58:30
  SPEAKER_02: I think I'm done.
• 58:33
  SPEAKER_02: When you find yourself in a cave, emotionally, psychologically.
• 58:44
  SPEAKER_02: Devil trying to bind you up.
• 58:49
  SPEAKER_01: You must reposition yourself and come out of that cave.
• 58:56
  SPEAKER_01: So that you can hear the voice of it.
• 59:00
  SPEAKER_02: The devil will box you in.
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_02: He'll box you in and make you happy with it.
• 59:06
  SPEAKER_02: Knowing that you know there's more to life than just what you're living in.
• 59:10
  SPEAKER_02: You ever thought it's got to be more to serving God than this?
• 59:18
  SPEAKER_02: And you're listening to the wrong voice and the wrong folk.
• 59:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yes?
• 59:23
  SPEAKER_02: Serving God would make you uncomfortable.
• 59:26
  SPEAKER_02: Serving the Lord would make you cut away from Him.
• 59:30
  SPEAKER_02: You must make hard choices and hard decisions if you're ever gonna follow the words of the Lord and say go.
• 59:37
  SPEAKER_02: Go get yourself stable.
• 59:39
  SPEAKER_02: He said go.
• 59:40
  SPEAKER_02: Go get yourself stable.
• 59:43
  SPEAKER_02: Go get yourself on fire again.
• 59:46
  SPEAKER_02: Go get your mind right.
• 59:49
  SPEAKER_02: Go find some peace.
• 59:52
  SPEAKER_02: Go get some deliverance.
• 59:55
  SPEAKER_02: Go find yourself walking in the will of God.
• 59:59
  SPEAKER_02: Listen to me now.
• 1:00:00
  SPEAKER_02: If you're not in peace, you're in a cave.
• 1:00:04
  SPEAKER_02: Because Jesus said, Peace I leave unto you, peace I give unto you.
• 1:00:08
  SPEAKER_02: Not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
• 1:00:11
  SPEAKER_02: Let not your heart be troubled.
• 1:00:12
  SPEAKER_02: You believe in God, believe also in me.
• 1:00:15
  SPEAKER_02: For in my father's house there's many mansions.
• 1:00:17
  SPEAKER_02: If it were not so, I wouldn't have told you.
• 1:00:19
  SPEAKER_02: Behold, I go away to prepare a place for you that where I am you might be there also.
• 1:00:25
  SPEAKER_02: He gives you peace.
• 1:00:29
  SPEAKER_02: If you don't have peace with a situation, don't you go into it.
• 1:00:36
  SPEAKER_02: God gives us peace.
• 1:00:38
  SPEAKER_02: Uh-oh.
