Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: Get your Bibles and turn to the book of Genesis,
- 0:12Speaker 1: chapter number 8, verse 8 through 13, and stand to
- 0:17Speaker 1: your feet for the reading of God's Word. Genesis, chapter
- 0:20Speaker 1: number 8, verse 8 through 13. Then we're going over
- 0:25Speaker 1: into Ephesians, I think, 4 and 13. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Genesis 8 and 8. We're going to read the 8th
- 0:51Speaker 1: through the 12th verse, and then we're going to Ephesians.
- 0:55Speaker 2: 4 and 30.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Ain't it the truth?
- 1:04Speaker 4: Amen.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Let's begin reading at the eighth verse together as a family.
- 1:11Speaker 2: And he sent.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Forth a dove from him to see if the waters
- 1:16Speaker 1: were abated from off the face of the ground. But
- 1:21Speaker 1: the dove found no rest of the sole of her foot,
- 1:26Speaker 1: and she returned unto him into the ark, for the
- 1:30Speaker 1: waters were on the face of the whole earth. Then
- 1:33Speaker 1: he put forth his hand and took her. and pulled
- 1:37Speaker 1: her in unto him into the ark. And he stayed
- 1:42Speaker 1: yet other seven days. And again he sent forth the
- 1:47Speaker 1: dove out of the ark. And the dove came in
- 1:51Speaker 1: to him in the evening, and low in her mouth
- 1:55Speaker 1: was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that
- 2:00Speaker 1: the waters were abated from off the earth. And he
- 2:04Speaker 1: stayed yet other seven days and sent forth the dove,
- 2:09Speaker 1: which returned not again unto him anymore. Can you say amen?
- 2:16Speaker 1: Now look at Ephesians 4 and 30. When you have it,
- 2:31Speaker 1: say amen. Let us read together. And grieve not the
- 2:37Speaker 1: Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Day of redemption.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are
- 2:53Speaker 1: sealed unto the day of Remain standing. We're going to pray.
- 3:00Speaker 1: But for the next few moments, we want to contemplate
- 3:04Speaker 1: the subject when the dove cries. When the dove.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Cries.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Let's pray. Spirit of God, maximize this moment. Let nothing
- 3:27Speaker 1: be done in vanity. We have not gathered here to
- 3:35Speaker 1: hear a man. We have come to hear you. If
- 3:43Speaker 1: you don't speak tonight, then all of the fanfare and
- 3:48Speaker 1: the pressing is in vain.
- 3:51Speaker 3: We are hungry for.
- 3:54Speaker 1: The progressive proceeding word that cometh out of your mouth.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Speak tonight. Somebody's got a question on the altar. Give
- 4:07Speaker 1: an answer tonight. While we're here, Lord, just bless this
- 4:12Speaker 1: house even the more abundantly with your glory. In fact,
- 4:19Speaker 1: let it rain in here. Let the Spirit of God
- 4:24Speaker 1: send a deluge and a flood Saturate us with glory.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Do a new thing in us.
- 4:31Speaker 2: We thank you.
- 4:34Speaker 1: We thank you. You haven't even spoke yet, but we
- 4:37Speaker 1: thank you in advance. Your credit is good with us.
- 4:42Speaker 2: We'll thank you now. You can work it out later.
- 4:45Speaker 1: We believe you for it. In Jesus' name, amen. Give
- 4:50Speaker 1: him a praise, somebody. Yes. Give him a little credit tonight.
- 5:00Speaker 1: You may be seated in the presence.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Of the Lord.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye
- 5:13Speaker 1: are sealed unto the day of redemption.
- 5:18Speaker 3: While reading through some religious.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Material that was prepared by some scholars from the Jehovah Witnesses, I.
- 5:28Speaker 5: Stumbled up on a definition that they gave for the
- 5:33Speaker 5: Holy Spirit, which they defined in this particular journal as
- 5:40Speaker 5: the active force of God.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Initially, it sounded pretty good. Until I began to really
- 5:52Speaker 1: meditate over the concept, and I began to realize that
- 5:57Speaker 1: that if you define the Holy Spirit as the active
- 6:00Speaker 1: force of God, you reduce him down to wind or
- 6:06Speaker 1: rain or storms or any other force of nature, electricity, unction.
- 6:19Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is not merely an it. Not a
- 6:26Speaker 1: mindless contortion. A force.
- 6:32Speaker 3: It is referred to correctly as he.
- 6:38Speaker 1: It is dangerous when we rob him of his personhood.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Because when we lose sight of his personhood, we lose
- 6:48Speaker 1: sight of his personality.
- 6:51Speaker 3: For a force is mindless.
- 6:54Speaker 1: And has no intelligence at all. It is controlled by
- 6:59Speaker 1: whatever contraption you build to house it. But God is intelligent.
- 7:06Speaker 1: He is an all-wise, all-knowing God. Omniscient. Already knows what
- 7:12Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out. Sovereign God. Having all power.
- 7:21Speaker 1: auspiciously reigning and ruling in the heavenlies. When he manifests
- 7:26Speaker 1: himself on our behalf in the earth realm, he moves
- 7:30Speaker 1: as the person of the Holy Spirit. But don't be confused,
- 7:36Speaker 1: O Israel. The Lord thy God is one, and beside
- 7:44Speaker 1: him there is no doubt. The first thing the book
- 7:55Speaker 1: says about the Holy Spirit, the first thing it brings
- 8:01Speaker 1: before us, the law of first mention. In the beginning,
- 8:07Speaker 1: God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth
- 8:10Speaker 1: was without form. And boy, darkness covered the face of
- 8:13Speaker 1: the deep.
- 8:13Speaker 3: And there it is.
- 8:14Speaker 1: The Spirit of the Lord moves. First thing God wanted
- 8:20Speaker 1: you to know about the Spirit is that it moves.
- 8:24Speaker 1: When it shows up on the canvas of history, it says,
- 8:27Speaker 1: I'm in action.
- 8:28Speaker 3: I'm in flight.
- 8:29Speaker 1: There is no way that you can then be filled
- 8:33Speaker 1: with the Spirit and not move.
- 8:41Speaker 2: So you're going to move, and I don't just mean
- 8:43Speaker 2: in physical.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Gyrations and sphincteraniums and goose pimples and chill bumps, but
- 8:48Speaker 1: I mean move in regard to change and take action
- 8:51Speaker 1: and progress and grow and flourish. If the Spirit of
- 8:56Speaker 1: God comes into your life, you will never be able
- 8:58Speaker 1: to stay.
- 8:59Speaker 3: Like you were when you got it. It will move
- 9:01Speaker 3: you every time.
- 9:08Speaker 1: It brings to life the character and the personality of God.
- 9:13Speaker 1: One of the great dilemmas that God has always had
- 9:16Speaker 1: is communication with man.
- 9:18Speaker 2: For in Genesis it says that the voice of the Lord.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Walked through the cool of the garden calling for somebody
- 9:23Speaker 1: who wasn't even listening. Communication has been a paramount dilemma
- 9:27Speaker 1: for God because how can he convey the magnitude of
- 9:32Speaker 1: his feelings to us? God is a God of passion.
- 9:38Speaker 1: He is an intense God. He is not just a force.
- 9:43Speaker 1: He is a God of feeling. He's jealous. His name
- 9:50Speaker 1: is jealous. He's a loving God. And yet when he
- 9:56Speaker 1: gets angry, there was no word that the Hebrews could phrase.
- 10:00Speaker 1: to depict the anger of the Lord so they called
- 10:03Speaker 1: him Rav which means anger with fire anger plus and
- 10:09Speaker 1: then when God got upset he was hot furious inflamed
- 10:20Speaker 1: Breath of his nostrils cometh forth as fire. When he loves,
- 10:25Speaker 1: he loves madly, passionately, intensely. It's always been difficult for
- 10:33Speaker 1: him to find some way to make his disciples know
- 10:35Speaker 1: exactly how he felt. And for this cause, he taught
- 10:38Speaker 1: through illustrations because pain isn't pain until you feel it.
- 10:42Speaker 1: He says, I want to make you understand how I feel.
- 10:45Speaker 1: So Abram, take now thy son. not only son, and
- 10:50Speaker 1: take him up on Mount Moriah and lift up a knife,
- 10:54Speaker 1: place his body on a wood sacrificial offering and get
- 11:00Speaker 1: ready to burn him up and raise your knife to
- 11:05Speaker 1: slay your son. And then you begin to understand the
- 11:10Speaker 1: magnitude of the sacrifice that I'm going to make to
- 11:13Speaker 1: reconcile man to God. Well, Hosea, You've saved yourself. You've
- 11:21Speaker 1: kept yourself for a chaste virgin. And I've got a
- 11:25Speaker 1: wife for you. Go to the red light district on
- 11:31Speaker 1: the corner of 5th and 9th. I want you to
- 11:36Speaker 1: meet your bride. She's standing on the corner waving at
- 11:40Speaker 1: the cars. Marry a prostitute, a hooker.
- 11:48Speaker 3: A trend.
- 11:50Speaker 1: And as you struggle to change, to love, to embrace,
- 11:55Speaker 1: to nurture, to culture somebody who's looking at somebody else,
- 11:59Speaker 1: then you'll know how I feel trying to love you.
- 12:08Speaker 1: She disgraces you and embarrasses you and you have to
- 12:11Speaker 1: go and buy her back off the slave table and
- 12:14Speaker 1: you have to purchase what was yours in the first place.
- 12:18Speaker 2: And redeem her.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Whom you have chosen. Then you'll begin to get some
- 12:24Speaker 1: kind of empathy for what I feel loving you. One
- 12:34Speaker 1: thing that Satan has understood about God is how much
- 12:37Speaker 1: he loves you. So when he really got ready to
- 12:42Speaker 1: get on God's nerves, he didn't use himself to vex God,
- 12:46Speaker 1: he used man. For one thing is indisputable in the heavens,
- 12:51Speaker 1: God loves us. David says, what is man that thou
- 12:57Speaker 1: art mindful of him, or the son of man that
- 12:59Speaker 1: thou visiteth him, for thou hast made him a little
- 13:01Speaker 1: lower than the angels, and yet you've crowned him with
- 13:04Speaker 1: honor and glory. He said, I don't see nothing special
- 13:06Speaker 1: about him.
- 13:06Speaker 3: He's not as.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Strong as an angel. He can't move from one area
- 13:10Speaker 1: to another like the angels move. He doesn't have the
- 13:13Speaker 1: power and the force and the magnitude, and yet there's
- 13:16Speaker 1: something about him that your mind is full of him.
- 13:20Speaker 1: God is in love with you. He is so in
- 13:24Speaker 1: love with you that he says you don't even have
- 13:27Speaker 1: to bring him an offering, just bring him the praise
- 13:29Speaker 1: and it'll mean the same thing. He says, I just
- 13:33Speaker 1: want to hear it come out of your mouth. I
- 13:34Speaker 1: want it to be your voice. I want you to
- 13:36Speaker 1: open your mouth and tell me how good I am.
- 13:38Speaker 1: And yet some of us won't even do that. Isn't
- 13:40Speaker 1: that awesome? And so Satan says, if I'm going to
- 13:45Speaker 1: get next to God, I'm going to take what he
- 13:49Speaker 1: loves and And get that to take what he hates,
- 13:55Speaker 1: which is sin. And then I'm going to take what
- 13:58Speaker 1: he hates and put it in what he loves and
- 14:02Speaker 1: create a dilemma for his emotions. For if he looks
- 14:06Speaker 1: at what he hates and tries to kill it, he
- 14:09Speaker 1: will have to kill what he loves. But if he
- 14:13Speaker 1: looks at what he loves and tries to save it,
- 14:16Speaker 1: he will have to say.
- 14:17Speaker 3: What he hates and he put God.
- 14:19Speaker 1: In a dilemma. God reacted properly to sin he would
- 14:27Speaker 1: have killed man if he reacted the way he wanted
- 14:30Speaker 1: to to man he would have saved sin and he
- 14:35Speaker 1: set God in a dilemma that made God walk through
- 14:40Speaker 1: the cool of the garden and tell man you're in
- 14:43Speaker 1: a mess just be still but I'm gonna work it
- 14:45Speaker 1: out I gotta fix this you can't you know the
- 14:52Speaker 1: fig leaves won't do it Adam shut up I'm going
- 14:58Speaker 1: to work this out for you. For his right hand
- 15:02Speaker 1: and his holy arm have gotten him the victory, salvation
- 15:05Speaker 1: is of the Lord.
- 15:06Speaker 3: God did it all by himself.
- 15:10Speaker 1: It wasn't your church, it wasn't your bishop, it wasn't
- 15:12Speaker 1: your denomination, it wasn't your doctrine, your dress code.
- 15:14Speaker 3: Or your morality.
- 15:15Speaker 1: God did it all by himself because he loves you.
- 15:26Speaker 1: It is his good pleasure to give you the king.
- 15:31Speaker 1: He wants to bless you abundantly. He tells his disciples,
- 15:41Speaker 1: I will not leave you comfortless. I will comfort you.
- 15:46Speaker 1: I will pray the father and he will send you
- 15:47Speaker 1: another comforter. And Allos Perikletos, another of the same kind
- 15:53Speaker 1: who stands alongside for the express purpose of helping you.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Somebody say help.
- 15:58Speaker 4: Help.
- 15:59Speaker 1: That's what the Holy Spirit comes to do in your
- 16:01Speaker 1: life is help. If you're overtaxed and overloaded and stressed
- 16:05Speaker 1: out and up under burdens and pressed, the Holy Spirit
- 16:08Speaker 1: is coming to your life to help you. Somebody say help. Help.
- 16:11Speaker 3: He didn't just come.
- 16:12Speaker 2: For your entertainment. He didn't come for your reputation.
- 16:14Speaker 1: He didn't come just to make you sing better or
- 16:16Speaker 1: preach better or to build your ministry or to build
- 16:18Speaker 1: any egotistical, self-enthroned ideology in the earth. When the Spirit
- 16:23Speaker 1: of God moves in your life, He comes to help.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Somebody say, help!
- 16:27Speaker 1: If you're pressed above measure and beyond strength, it's because
- 16:30Speaker 1: you have not activated the power of God in your life.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Because when God's Spirit begins to operate in your life,
- 16:35Speaker 1: you've got so much help that demons begin to tremble
- 16:38Speaker 1: and hell gets frustrated.
- 16:40Speaker 3: You've got help!
- 16:47Speaker 1: Look at somebody and tell them I got some help.
- 16:50Speaker 1: That means if you don't get around to helping me,
- 16:52Speaker 1: don't feel too sorry for me because I got some help.
- 16:54Speaker 1: That means whether you help me or not, like me
- 16:56Speaker 1: or not, with me or not, or support me or not,
- 16:59Speaker 1: I'm still going to basically be all right because when you.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Put me down, he'll pick me up.
- 17:03Speaker 3: I've got some help that's.
- 17:05Speaker 2: With me right.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Now.
- 17:14Speaker 4: I've got help.
- 17:15Speaker 3: Father Spirit, help us.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Our infirmities, Romans chapter 8, for we know not what
- 17:23Speaker 1: we ought to pray for as we ought. But the
- 17:28Speaker 1: Spirit itself maketh intercession for us. You know, you can
- 17:36Speaker 1: hardly get anybody to pray for you anymore. You tell
- 17:40Speaker 1: somebody to pray for you and they say, oh, bless
- 17:42Speaker 1: the Lord.
- 17:45Speaker 2: When I ask you to pray for me.
- 17:46Speaker 1: I want you to wrap up in sackcloth and stick
- 17:49Speaker 1: your face in the baptism pool and.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Speak in tongues for an hour and a half.
- 17:54Speaker 3: I want some real prayer.
- 18:00Speaker 1: I don't want no little cutesy, hotsy, totsy, religious spankterania
- 18:04Speaker 1: that you read in somebody's book and you just say,
- 18:06Speaker 1: bless them, Lord, while you think about what you're going
- 18:08Speaker 1: to wear to work tomorrow and what you got cooking
- 18:10Speaker 1: in the oven. No, all hell is coming against me
- 18:13Speaker 1: and demons are trying to assassinate me and I need
- 18:16Speaker 1: to do spiritual warfare in the heavenly.
- 18:17Speaker 3: I need some help. Somebody say, help!
- 18:35Speaker 1: Paul told Timothy, when my hour came to trial, no
- 18:38Speaker 1: man stood with me, notwithstanding the Lord stood with me.
- 18:44Speaker 1: People who I thought would help me forsook me. But
- 18:48Speaker 1: the Lord stood with me. He helpeth our infirmities, our weaknesses,
- 18:59Speaker 1: you know, the things that we don't admit that we have.
- 19:01Speaker 3: That's what infirmity is.
- 19:04Speaker 1: The things that we're obligated to act like we don't
- 19:06Speaker 1: know anything.
- 19:06Speaker 2: About, those are infirmities.
- 19:09Speaker 1: He helpeth. I know you don't need any help, but
- 19:14Speaker 1: if you ever did, the Spirit of God would help you.
- 19:17Speaker 1: But I know you've got it together, and you don't
- 19:19Speaker 1: need anything. You don't have any infirmities, and you are
- 19:21Speaker 1: super spiritual. But just write this down for whoever you
- 19:25Speaker 1: might need to witness to, administer to, who hadn't grown
- 19:28Speaker 1: to the point that you've grown to, and tell them
- 19:30Speaker 1: that when they have an infirmity, God's got some help.
- 19:36Speaker 1: The Spirit helpeth our.
- 19:41Speaker 3: Infirmity.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Because sometimes when we get down to pray, we don't
- 19:48Speaker 1: even know what to say. Prayer has almost become a
- 19:54Speaker 1: manipulation for us to give God his orders for the evening.
- 19:59Speaker 1: But there comes a point that even the most skillful
- 20:01Speaker 1: of us become exasperated in trying to control God. And
- 20:05Speaker 1: we break down and say, we don't know what we're doing,
- 20:07Speaker 1: and we don't know what to ask for, and we
- 20:09Speaker 1: don't know what to do, and we don't know how
- 20:11Speaker 1: to instruct you today, so Lord, do what you want
- 20:14Speaker 1: to do. Then the Spirit itself kicks in with groanings
- 20:23Speaker 1: that cannot be uttered with intensity that is not languageable.
- 20:36Speaker 1: with a level of passion that cannot be expressed, with
- 20:41Speaker 1: inarticulate sounds, groanings, wailings. Few men have ever tapped into
- 20:54Speaker 1: what the Holy Spirit is really doing. And when they did,
- 20:58Speaker 1: they became radical. And they started to say, how, ye heavens!
- 21:05Speaker 1: And well, ye earths, for they had tied into the
- 21:09Speaker 1: passions of God.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Oh, that my head were waters.
- 21:19Speaker 1: And my eyes were rivers of tears. Then would I
- 21:23Speaker 1: not weep both day and night. For the daughters of
- 21:29Speaker 1: Israel that are slain, is there no balm in Gilead?
- 21:35Speaker 1: Why then is not the help of the daughter of
- 21:39Speaker 1: my people recovered? Send for the women of mourning and
- 21:50Speaker 1: let them take up a wailing. For death has climbed
- 21:57Speaker 1: into our windows. This generation does a lot of shouting,
- 22:06Speaker 1: but we don't do much wailing. But when I look
- 22:10Speaker 1: at the conditions of our society, it makes me want
- 22:15Speaker 1: to take up a wailing. When I see 11- and
- 22:19Speaker 1: 12-year-old boys standing before judges in courtrooms and getting licenses
- 22:25Speaker 1: and don't even shed a tear, it scares me to death, and.
- 22:29Speaker 3: I want to take them away.
- 22:34Speaker 1: When I was a little boy, I would be afraid
- 22:35Speaker 1: to walk through the corner where a crowd.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Of grown men were standing.
- 22:39Speaker 1: But today, grown men are scared to walk down a
- 22:42Speaker 1: corner where a group of kids are standing.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Somebody needs to take up a wave. Groanings that cannot be.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Uttered.
- 23:02Speaker 3: And the Spirit of God moved.
- 23:05Speaker 1: One translation says the Spirit of God hovered like a
- 23:09Speaker 1: hen does over eggs. It laid. It settled.
- 23:15Speaker 3: It festered.
- 23:16Speaker 1: It boiled. It bubbled.
- 23:19Speaker 2: It wailed.
- 23:20Speaker 1: It groaned with the process of deliverance. It set up
- 23:24Speaker 1: a crumbling in the earth realm. The Spirit.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Did.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Calling unto thee. I'm going to tell you something. If
- 23:37Speaker 1: we ever quit playing with the Holy Ghost and really
- 23:43Speaker 1: tie into some real spiritual power, I want to warn
- 23:48Speaker 1: you before I go any further, it'll make you strange.
- 23:53Speaker 1: You may not fit in the clique or the club.
- 23:56Speaker 1: You may not get invited out as much. They may
- 24:00Speaker 1: not call you on the phone with the latest gossip,
- 24:03Speaker 1: but if you ever really tie in to the heart
- 24:05Speaker 1: of God, you'll take up a whaling at what we
- 24:08Speaker 1: call church.
- 24:10Speaker 3: You really haven't seen real church.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Not as long as we're playing politics and games and
- 24:16Speaker 1: fighting one another.
- 24:18Speaker 3: Not loving one another.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. God wants to do something
- 24:22Speaker 1: in our building that's going to cause hell to tremble,
- 24:26Speaker 1: but we've got to tie in to the power of God. Oh,
- 24:32Speaker 1: how they do. Whoo! When God steps over a mess,
- 24:45Speaker 1: he'll hover over it until he's able to change it.
- 24:48Speaker 1: I praise him for being the kind of God that
- 24:52Speaker 1: can step into an earthly, fleshly situation and say, everybody
- 24:56Speaker 1: else might leave you, but I'm going to hover over
- 24:59Speaker 1: top of you until you get a break through in
- 25:01Speaker 1: your life.
- 25:02Speaker 2: He'll hover over it. Tell somebody and tell them he
- 25:16Speaker 2: stayed with me.
- 25:25Speaker 1: He stayed with me. Hovering, groaning, groaning. How many of
- 25:40Speaker 1: you ever been in a labor room? You can bring Dr.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Christine Ann Stevenson and put her in the bed beside
- 25:59Speaker 1: Lucretia Jones, and you can't tell the difference one between
- 26:08Speaker 1: the other.
- 26:10Speaker 3: Because though Dr.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Stevenson might speak in 12 different languages and graduated from
- 26:15Speaker 1: Yale on the dean's list, in the throes of labor,
- 26:20Speaker 1: you don't get intellect, you get groanings and moanings. And
- 26:25Speaker 1: where it's, hallelujah, I don't care what the education or
- 26:30Speaker 1: the color of the skin is. There are some things
- 26:33Speaker 1: that we react to just the same.
- 26:36Speaker 3: In order to burst some.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Things, you've got to be able to get.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Down and wail and lament before God.
- 26:44Speaker 3: And God's an obvious commitment.
- 26:46Speaker 1: To delivering you. And God said, before I let you
- 26:49Speaker 1: go down, I'll lock my legs in labor and wail
- 26:54Speaker 1: till you are burnt into the theme of God's wrath.
- 27:01Speaker 2: I feel the glory of.
- 27:02Speaker 3: The Holy Ghost.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Today.
- 27:10Speaker 3: He wails for you.
- 27:18Speaker 1: That's why the enemy didn't kill you. Because every time
- 27:23Speaker 1: he came.
- 27:24Speaker 3: In like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord lifted
- 27:28Speaker 3: up a standard against him.
- 27:31Speaker 1: It wasn't your prayer warriors and your intercessors and your
- 27:34Speaker 1: prayer team and your prayer partner, your prayer book and
- 27:37Speaker 1: your prayer manual and your five steps to prayer and.
- 27:40Speaker 3: Your 10 steps.
- 27:41Speaker 1: To a blessing and 12 steps to prosperity.
- 27:44Speaker 3: No, it was the Holy Ghost grounding over your trouble.
- 27:58Speaker 3: Somebody give Him some praise in here.
- 28:00Speaker 2: I dare you.
- 28:05Speaker 3: To give Him praise.
- 28:08Speaker 1: I dare you to lift Him up. I dare you
- 28:10Speaker 1: to give Him the glory.
- 28:11Speaker 6: He alone is.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Worthy for every success and.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Every victory in your life.
- 28:15Speaker 1: If it had not been for the Lord, that was all.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Tell somebody and tell them, I'm still going.
- 28:45Speaker 4: I'm still going.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Tell them I didn't have the ever-ready battery, but I'm
- 29:04Speaker 1: still going.
- 29:04Speaker 3: I've been through the storm and the rain, but I'm
- 29:08Speaker 3: still going. I had to cry, but I'm still going.
- 29:13Speaker 3: The Holy Ghost prayed for me and looked at me.
- 29:15Speaker 3: Somebody give Him praise somewhere.
- 29:55Speaker 1: For he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the
- 30:00Speaker 1: will of God. For he maketh intercession for the saints
- 30:06Speaker 1: according to the will of God. He has searched your heart.
- 30:17Speaker 1: I tell you why you must seek him. Because He
- 30:24Speaker 1: is the only one who really knows what's wrong with you.
- 30:38Speaker 1: And when you get tired of calling people.
- 30:45Speaker 2: When you finally run out of phone numbers, and.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Decide that they don't know what's wrong with you, and
- 30:51Speaker 1: they don't know what's wrong with them, and they can't
- 30:54Speaker 1: help you, and they can't even help themselves, and you
- 30:57Speaker 1: finally lay out on your face and say, Lord, if
- 31:00Speaker 1: you don't help me, I can't stand this store. You
- 31:04Speaker 1: know what's wrong with me. You have assessed my beginning.
- 31:08Speaker 1: You have assessed my childhood. You've assessed my damages, my accidents,
- 31:13Speaker 1: my incidents, my casualties.
- 31:15Speaker 3: My crisis.
- 31:16Speaker 1: You've assessed my personality, my background, my IQ and my
- 31:20Speaker 1: mentality and you've added up the sum total.
- 31:23Speaker 3: Of everything I can do and everything I can.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Be and I've got to find you because you're the
- 31:29Speaker 1: only one that knows how to fix me and how
- 31:32Speaker 1: to bless me and how.
- 31:34Speaker 3: To strengthen me and if you don't help.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Me I cannot stand this storm I need you as.

- 32:40Speaker 1: over my life. You have examined the intrinsic issues of
- 32:47Speaker 1: my heart. Hovering over my life. You have known what
- 32:55Speaker 1: I cannot articulate or express hovering over my life. You
- 33:03Speaker 1: have touched what no one has touched and reached what
- 33:08Speaker 1: no one has reached.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Please, sir, don't just chill me. Don't just thrill me.
- 33:18Speaker 3: Help me.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Not my image.

- 49:18Speaker 3: my place.
- 49:19Speaker 1: He stays in the ark and he waits as the dove,
- 49:24Speaker 1: which is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, goes out
- 49:30Speaker 1: in search of a place to land.
- 49:37Speaker 3: And finding no place to rest the sole of his foot.
- 49:46Speaker 1: He returns back to the one that sent him, weary,
- 49:52Speaker 1: mouth empty, for he has found.
- 49:56Speaker 3: No place to rest his foot. Symbolically, it reminds us.
- 50:09Speaker 1: Of the Spirit of God that began to move in

- 50:17Speaker 1: searching for a place to rest his foot. All through
- 50:24Speaker 1: the Old Testament, the dove flew, looking for a place
- 50:34Speaker 1: he could rest. He came upon the prophets, spoke through them,
- 50:44Speaker 1: lifted up from them, looking for a place he could rest.
- 50:52Speaker 1: From Daniel to Jeremiah, Obadiah, Zechariah, Amos, Malachi, he searches
- 51:02Speaker 1: for a place he could rest. seeing many men, blessing
- 51:08Speaker 1: many men, flowing through many men, touching many men, abiding
- 51:12Speaker 1: with none, comes back, found no one that he could
- 51:22Speaker 1: rest upon. And after a rest, he goes again, looking
- 51:35Speaker 1: the dove The Christos, the Creole, the anointed.
- 51:45Speaker 3: Looking. Looking for someone.
- 51:55Speaker 1: The searching God. The intelligent God. The grieving God. The wailing,

- 52:06Speaker 3: Dove that has set flight from the window of the.
- 52:10Speaker 1: Ark, flies through dispensations and ages.
- 52:17Speaker 8: Through prophets and priests, flies over kings like Saul, flies
- 52:26Speaker 8: over kings like David, flies over kings like Solomon, flies
- 52:32Speaker 8: from tabernacles to temples, from the temple of Solomon to
- 52:36Speaker 8: the temple of Zerubbabel to the.
- 52:38Speaker 1: Temple of Herod, flies.
- 52:41Speaker 3: Finally, it comes to the Jordan River.
- 52:49Speaker 1: And down in the chilly Jordan River, down over the
- 52:55Speaker 1: Jordan that flows into the Dead Sea, representing our sins
- 53:00Speaker 1: being flowing into the sea of forgetfulness, never to be
- 53:03Speaker 1: remembered in this world or the world to come. The
- 53:06Speaker 1: dove says, I have.
- 53:08Speaker 3: found him whom.
- 53:09Speaker 2: My soul loveth.
- 53:11Speaker 1: I have found the one that I can sit upon,
- 53:14Speaker 1: and he rested. And the Bible said that when Jesus
- 53:19Speaker 1: was standing in the Jordan River, that a sound came
- 53:24Speaker 1: from heaven and said, this is my beloved son.
- 53:27Speaker 3: In whom I am well pleased, and the Spirit of.
- 53:37Speaker 1: The Spirit of God descended upon him like a dove,
- 53:46Speaker 1: and it rested.
- 53:50Speaker 2: On him.
- 53:53Speaker 1: And he went in the water, Jesus. He came out
- 53:57Speaker 1: of the water, Jesus the Christ, because the dove on
- 54:10Speaker 1: him and Satan was angry. He set an appointment in
- 54:19Speaker 1: the wilderness because the one thing that the enemy doesn't
- 54:23Speaker 1: want you to be is annoyed.
- 54:28Speaker 3: He said, I don't want that anointing.
- 54:31Speaker 2: On him and I'm going to tempt him until I
- 54:34Speaker 2: get it back.
- 54:35Speaker 3: But what the devil.
- 54:36Speaker 1: Didn't know is that when God's anointing comes upon you,
- 54:40Speaker 1: no weapon formed against you shall be able to prosper.
- 54:45Speaker 3: High five somebody and tell.
- 54:48Speaker 2: Them it ain't going to work.
- 54:51Speaker 1: The devil is trying a whole lot of stuff to
- 54:53Speaker 1: get your anointing, but.
- 54:55Speaker 2: It ain't going to work.
- 54:57Speaker 1: He's after your.
- 54:57Speaker 3: Peace and your power and your victory. Devil, I hear
- 55:00Speaker 3: you knocking, but you can't come in. It ain't going
- 55:03Speaker 3: to work. Greater is he that's in me than he
- 55:05Speaker 3: that's in the world. I know you're after my peace.
- 55:08Speaker 1: I know you're after my joy, but the anointing of
- 55:11Speaker 1: the Lord. Somewhere over the chaos of the world, the
- 55:36Speaker 1: dove pulls an olive leaf, a twig, and from the
- 55:49Speaker 1: broken twig, a picture of the cut tree that would
- 55:57Speaker 1: become the cross. He comes back with the sign to
- 56:03Speaker 1: the one that sent him and said, I have found him,
- 56:14Speaker 1: whom I so love. And at the price of a
- 56:18Speaker 1: broken twig, at the price of a cross, at the
- 56:22Speaker 1: price of a bleeding side, here's a sign. All over
- 56:32Speaker 1: the nation.
- 56:34Speaker 3: All over the world.
- 56:36Speaker 1: And the dove says to the one that sent him,
- 56:39Speaker 1: what shall I do? And he says, wait. Seven days
- 56:45Speaker 1: until the fullness of time. And while he's saying, wait
- 56:48Speaker 1: in the heavenlies, Jesus is saying, wait on earth forever.
- 56:54Speaker 1: He's saying, go to Jerusalem.
- 56:57Speaker 3: And wait there until you be endued with power from
- 57:02Speaker 3: on high.

- 57:10Speaker 1: of Pentecost was fully come and they were in one
- 57:14Speaker 1: place with one accord, he sends the dove.

- 58:28Speaker 3: At the end of my rope. He sat on me
- 58:30Speaker 3: when I was going through my temptation.
- 58:32Speaker 6: He sat on me as it had not been for
- 58:33Speaker 6: the Lord that was on my side.
- 58:35Speaker 3: I would have.

- 1:02:25Speaker 2: But would you excuse me while I praise the Lord?
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: But shake hands with five folks and tell.
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: Them there's a job in here.
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: I feel like giving him the pride.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: Get ready, get ready, get ready.
- 1:06:07Speaker 6: How many folk got an anointing on you?
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor, it's on me right now. Yeah!
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: Come on, give Him praise.
- 1:06:46Speaker 6: Come on, give Him praise. Forget about what you got
- 1:06:58Speaker 6: on and who you came with and what the doctor
- 1:07:01Speaker 6: said and what the accountant said.
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: Just give God a praise and pray. My scripture said,
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: do not grieve.
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed or covered.
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: Or sat upon.
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: Until the day of redemption. The dove cries.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: Hear me.
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: Look right at me. The dove cries.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: When he has gone through all of that to cover
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: you and you still don't trust him. It grieves Him
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: when you yield your strength and your body to lesser
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: gods and serve flesh when you can walk in the Spirit.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: It grieves Him when you who dance and shout go
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: home depressed and discouraged.
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: It grieves Him.
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: When we have to go to worldly counselors to get
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: answers for Christian.
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: People, it grieves him.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: Some of you have been encouraging everybody else. But you
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: need to.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: Be encouraged yourself. It grieves him when you know all
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: the right scriptures and all the right words and all
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: the right things until it comes to your circumstances. It
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: grieves him because we have become professional Christians. We know
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: what to do and when to do it and how
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: to handle it. We have not learned how to trust
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: the Savior. In this room tonight, there is everything you
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: can think of. Depress it. Discouragement, fear, marriages that are broken,
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: about to break, husband and wives who have just become roommates.
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: Suicide is here.
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: AIDS is here too.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: Every crisis of our society is in this room. And
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: the dove weeps.
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: He weeps.
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: For he says, how oft would I have gathered you
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: as a hen does her chicks.
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: But he would not. I wanted to lift your heaviness.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: But you would not let it go. I wanted to
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: heal your home, but you would not be still. I
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: wanted to give you peace, but you talked to men
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: when you should have been talking to me.
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: And the dove cries.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: He cries for you.
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: Because of the needless pain you bear.
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: Because you won't just dismiss it all in a season
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: of prayer. Because you're carrying things that he's already carried.
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: Surely he has borne our griefs.
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: And he has carried our sorrows.
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities.
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: The chastisement of our peace was upon him. With his stripes,
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: you're healed.
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: You're healed. You're healed and you don't even know it.
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: You're healed. You're healed. You are healed.
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: You're pain in the deception. You are healed right now.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: The dove is dropping gifts all over the room. It's
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: just dropping gifts.
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: Gifts.
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: Gifts. Things you don't even have to work for. It's
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: just all you got to do is receive it. Just gifts.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: Gifts are falling all over the room. Gifts are falling.
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: Now, fruit has to be grown, but gifts just have
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: to be received. They're falling right now. They're dispersed out
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: to you. Gifts of the Holy Spirit are coming to
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: you right now. Gifts are coming. Not just the ones
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: that are lifted, but there's some other gifts that are
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: coming upon you.
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: God's doing something. In fact, some of the things you
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: got right now, they were just a gift that.
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: The Lord gave to you.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: That job he blessed you with, it was just a gift. Amen.
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: Somebody was more qualified than you, but God gave it
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: to you.
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: It was a gift.
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: That car you're.
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: Driving, that house you got, that ministry you got, it
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: wasn't nothing but the dove just dropping gifts to you.
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: It was a gift.
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: Of the Spirit.
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: Now, what are you depressed about?
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: God is dropping gifts. It grieves Him when we're not thankful.
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: It grieves Him when He blesses us and we murmur
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: and complain. I'm here tonight. I've been deputized by the
