• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Lord of glory. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Lord,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: we praise you. God bless you.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: It's a privilege and an honor to be able to
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: share in the vision of this ministry and what God
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: is doing in this place to be in this lovely
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: church and to experience the fresh anointing of the Lord.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I just love to
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: worship him. and to praise him and to give him
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: thanks for all of the wonderful things that the Lord
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: has done for me. And whenever I praise him and
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: worship him, it's so personal that I can sit right
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: beside you and you really don't understand what I mean
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: when I praise the Lord. And I really cannot share
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: that moment with you. It's just between me and him.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Isn't it amazing? How we can all say some of
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the same things like hallelujah or thank you Jesus or
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: glory to God or wave our hands alike. But every
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: one of us means something different when we do it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: And God knows what you mean when you get ready
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to praise his name. Come on, put your hands together.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Let's just see if we can just. Yes.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Remember what he did for you and begin to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: give him the praise. He's a wonderful savior.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Thank the Lord for his goodness and for his grace.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: It's always a blessing from the Lord to be here
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and to share with Brother Carlton and the vision of Azusa.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: God just brings people together that perhaps would not otherwise
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: come together. But I'm glad to see walls and barriers
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: come down so that God's people can get together.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm privileged by that. I certainly honor the angel
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: of this church, Dr. Price and his lovely wife and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: this beautiful edifice and the presence of the Lord that
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: is here.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I'm just excited. to be with you.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Pastor Carlton shared with you the focal point of my ministry,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and I believe every anointed ministry is to deal with
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: hurting people because that's what the vision of the church
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: is all about, a.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Restoration, a place of.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Recycling human lives, broken people who have come together and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: received the power of the Lord Jesus Christ and been
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: washed in the blood of the Lamb And one man
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: said that the vision of the church is one beggar
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: going to another beggar telling him where he found the bread.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And I think that's good. I think that's good. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: think we ought not to lose sight of a day
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: in our lives that we were very hungry and could
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: not find the bread. And when you get where you
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: know where it is, you ought not turn your nose
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: up and act like you can't relate to hunger.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Talk to me, somebody. And so I'm doing that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I did bring the book with me, Woman, Thou Art Loosed,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and I'm really excited about it. It just got released
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: in Azusa East Coast and we've already gotten tremendous response.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I want to challenge the women in this congregation and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: particularly though the men have been bootlegging and getting in
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the material too.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: But I believe that.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: There's a fresh word from the Lord regarding restoration for
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the feminine heart and the feminine spirit. Religion can tend
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to be very oppressive to women. Historically, women have had
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: a little tougher road to hoe in the church than
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: perhaps men did. Brother Donnie was talking about a day
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: that we were very critical and judgmental in regard to
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: attire and apparel and just a lot of other things,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: even morality and standards. We tend to have a double
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: standard between women and men. When men play around, they're
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: just boys will be boys. But when women play around,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: we tend to stigmatize them for the.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Rest of their lives. Amen. Amen.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And it's a problem whenever women come in the kingdom
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: because the church attracts wounded people.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we get them saved.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: That is, their spirits are regenerated by the preaching of
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the word. But their minds are still up under attack
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: because you can't forget where you came from. And many
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: times people sitting around you won't let you forget where
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you came from. But I thank God for the kind
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: of God who is able to look beyond your faults
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and see your need and wash you in the blood
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and deliver you.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I tell our.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: People at home, you can't help where you've been, but
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you can certainly help where you're going. Say amen to me, somebody.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: And I just believe God's going to do it. There
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: are several videos out there. I did a ministry for
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: leadership called Burning Desire. Because so many of God's mouthpieces, preachers, teachers,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: gifts of helps, intercessors, have gotten through frustration and to
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: a point of impotency, and they're not nearly as potent
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: as they used to be, and people don't detect it
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: because you can still go through all the motions and
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: have all the apparatus and all the talent and all
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the skill, but if you lose the passion, you have
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: lost the power. Satan doesn't mind you having the apparatus.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: If you don't have the intensity to perform, you can
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: have all the apparatus and still be impotent. But God
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: wants us to come to a point of having burning desire.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Scripture says, whatsoever ye desire. Somebody say desire. Scripture says,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: whatsoever you desire when you pray, believe you have received
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: it and you shall have it. And so all Satan
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: has to do is attack your desire until you lose
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that burning to just want to see a change until
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you start just accepting nothing instead of something. You can
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: still pray all night, but it's not effective until you
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: can fold up your face like a towel and lay
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: on the altar and grab a hold to the anointing
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of the Lord like Jacob and say, I won't let
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you go until you bless my soul.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah thank you Lord and God is restoring desire.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Back in the body of Christ after that Eve the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Bible said that when the Lord spoke to Eve that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: she would bring forth children and much sorrow and in
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: much travail but at the end of the sorrow the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: next thing God says is about desire he says and
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: her desire shall be to her husband see his desire
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: that washes away past pain and And makes you able
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to get on with your life and forget what you've
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: been through so that God can equip you to do
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: it again. And maybe you're here and you've been through
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: something that's kind of depleted you and took your strength
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and took your intensity away.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: God is able.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: To renew a fresh desire, a fresh vision, a fresh burning,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: a fresh quickening, a renewal for your spirit as we
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: worship him. And that's just several things. I believe it's
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: worthwhile and I pray it bless you. And be a blessing.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad whenever Pastor Carlton asks me to come,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I always am glad to come and be here because
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I appreciate him as a friend and a brother in
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the Lord and his lovely intended.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Thank the Lord for her as well.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I appreciate the fact that they let me bring my
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: girlfriend with me. I tend to think, I don't know
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: whether it's true or not, but I tend to think
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: that I preach a little better when she's around. She
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: inspires me and motivates me. I want her to stand.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: She's a lovely lady, Sister Jakes.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: The mother of my children. Amen. So we preach by
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: night and quote by day. Amen. Thank the Lord. Don't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: tell anybody.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I know everybody else prays all day, but we court
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: a little bit sometimes.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Pray my strength in the Lord. She's my loosed woman. Amen.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I thank the Lord for her. My mother is here
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: with me.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Would you stand? I just want to show off my chin, folks.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going to preach after a while, but amen.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Amen. Bless you. Amen.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Amen. I always show her off because if it wasn't
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: no her, it wouldn't be no me.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Amen. And I thank the Lord.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: She's been a great strength and encouragement to me. You
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: always need somebody to believe in you. Many people will
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: believe in you after you get there, but you need
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: somebody to believe you before you get there. Amen. You'd
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: be surprised how people will jump on the bandwagon once
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: it's already rolling. But isn't it nice when you can
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: have somebody give you a push when you can't hardly
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: get it in gear?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Amen. Somebody knows what I'm talking about.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I want you to turn with me briefly as we
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: just consider a thought for this evening.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: want to perhaps open up the seal of what God's
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: going to do for the next three days, next two
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: days after tonight. And we're going to be considering the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: 10th chapter of the book of Joshua, verse 6 through 16.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: If I could have a little bit more monitor, I
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: would so appreciate it. I think I've been preaching so
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: long and so loud in those churches you were talking about,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I'm getting a little.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I kind of like to hear it where it kind
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: of blows your hair back, you know.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: The 10th chapter of the book of Joshua, we're going
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: to begin reading at verse 6 and we will conclude
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: at verse 16.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: 6 through 17. 16. When you have it, say amen.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: It is my custom to stand for the reading of
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the word of God. I hope you don't mind. indulging
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: me tonight as we stand in salutation and respect to
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the integrity of God's word Joshua chapter 10 verse 6
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: through 16 and let us read together and just feel
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the atmosphere with the word of the Lord And the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: slacken not thy hand from thy servants. Come up to
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: us quickly and save us. and help us, for all
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: are gathered together against us. So Joshua extended from Gilgal
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: he and all the people of war with him, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: all the mighty men of valor.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And the Lord.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Said unto Joshua, Fear them not, for I have delivered
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: them into thine hand. There shall not a man of
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: them stand before thee. Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and went up from Gilgal all night. And the Lord
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: goeth up to Beth Horin, and smote them at Azekah
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: and unto Machedah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass as they fled.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: From before Israel and were in the going down to
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Beth Horon that the Lord cast down great stones from
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: heaven upon them unto Azekah and they died. They were
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: more which died with hailstones than they whom the children
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: of Israel slew with the sword. Then spake Joshua to
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the Amorites before the children of Israel. And he said
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: in the sight of Israel, Son, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Thou moon in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: stood still, and the moon stayed.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: not this written in the book of Jasher? So the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: not to go down about a whole day. And there
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: was no day like that day, before it or after it,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: for the Lord fought for Israel. And Joshua returned, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. But
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: at Machedah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Can you say amen? Amen.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Look a moment at the 13th and 14th birth. And
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the sun stood still and the moon stayed until the
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: people had avenged themselves upon their enemies.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Is not this written in the book of Jasher?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Remain standing. We're going to go before the Lord.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: In prayer, I want you to consider tonight the subject,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the 25th hour. The 25th hour. Let's pray. Lord, you
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: have handpicked and designated this crowd. No manipulation has brought
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: us together. But divine orchestration has called us for such
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: a time as this. Let us not waste this moment
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: in vanity. But we beseech you Lord that you would
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: pour in the oil and minister to.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Us revelation, inspiration, direction, clarification.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I pray that Somebody's prayers would find an answer tonight.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: That something that's been laid on the altar for weeks
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: would come off tonight. That a burden would slip off
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: somebody's shoulder like an old coat. I pray in the
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: name of Jesus that you give somebody beauty for ashes.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: All of joy for mourning and the garment of praise
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: for the spirit of heaviness. I pray in the name
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: of Jesus that the power of the Lord would do
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: a fresh thing. That we would leave this place walking
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: and basking in a glory that we did not have before.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I thank you in advance. I don't even have to
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: see you move to thank you. Your credit is so
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: good with me. I'll thank you right now.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I know what you're able to do. You've already proved
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: yourself to be God to me.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: And I praise you right now and I thank you.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: In the name of the Lord Jesus we pray. Amen
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: and amen. You may be seated in the presence of
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: our God. We are living in changing times and very,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: very stressful times. And if we're not careful in walking
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: with the Lord and keeping fresh revelation and insight, we
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: can easily become overwhelmed by circumstances and situations around us.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: It's not hard to become so involved in kingdom building
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: that we who are in the kingdom begin to wither
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and will fall apart. The sad, the real tragedy is,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: if we are withering, we are intimidated by our environment
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: from being able to say, help, I've fallen and I
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: can't get up. Because if we would say that to anybody,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: they would question the authenticity And so the church has
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: become filled with some of the greatest actors and actresses
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: the world has ever known. If Hollywood would ever become
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: hard up and need some extras, I know a place
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: where they could get some really well-trained, well-equipped, well-qualified, experienced
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: actors because we have become professional at pretending. But tonight,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: let's take off the mask. When the Lord created man,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: he created him from the dust of the earth and
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: breathed into him the breath of life and he became
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: a living soul. God gave him power to be in
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: his likeness and in his image, to be fruitful, to multiply,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to replenish, to subdue, to have dominion, to have authority.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Out of that ability to have dominion, to have territory,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: to have rights, to have leadership, to be in control,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: he began to speak to all of the subordinate kingdoms
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: and to name them and to bring them up under
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: rain and up under his feet. And it was at
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: that point that God began to notice something about man
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: that it was not good for him to be alone,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: that man is intrinsically communal by instincts and needs, a
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: feeling of being apart and connected to and united with
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: like species, not only in regard to marriage, but in
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: regard to friendship, in regard to relationship, in regard to covenant.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: We just need people. When terrorists and enemies would capture men.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: One of the greatest tortures that they could give to
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: any man was to throw him in a hole by
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: himself just without cutting or beating or abusing or badgering
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: him physically in any way. Just darkness and isolation is
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: enough torture within itself to frustrate us because instinctively we
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: just need to have somebody to talk to, to laugh with,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: to interact with, to have community and that's good if
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: we don't worship at the altar of other people's opinions,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: then we begin to allow ourselves to hold people in
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: such high esteem that it becomes idolatry rather than community,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: and it breaks down our individuality. I refuse to allow
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: anybody to intimidate me to the point that I cease
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: from being.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Who I am. Amen.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: You have to have a vested right to be yourself
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: and to understand that fellowship and gathering and community does
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: not mean duplication. That we can have inspiration and communion
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: without me having to be a carbon copy of you
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: in order to be in your graces. And I think
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: that one of the great problems that attacks us when
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: we reach out for community is sometimes it becomes manipulation.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: And we begin to yield our members and ourselves and
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: our minds and our thinking and our opinions over to
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: other people, not because they're God's anointed or appointed, but
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: just because they're strong-willed and stubborn and ruthless enough to
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: be dominant enough to always express their opinion about everything
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: we're going to do. And after a while, we're just
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: overwhelmed by their ideas.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And it puts you in a dilemma.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: And that's where I really want to begin to talk
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: tonight because when I consider this tribe, this group, this
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: little nation called the Gibeonites, they were in that kind
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: of dilemma because they were tied into a group of
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: people who were predestined to be destroyed. And somehow they
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: had the insight to recognize that they were on the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: wrong side. It is a dangerous thing to be so
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: stoic and so staid that you can't change. Sometimes you
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: just need to break down and just change. Regardless of
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: criticism and even at the risk of ostracism, you have
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: to be willing to just change. And they didn't know
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: how to go about it. They were basically heathenistic and
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: they really had not been taught the concepts of serving
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: and worshiping Jehovah, but they had enough discernment to understand
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I'm on the wrong side. And I can tell by
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: the way things are going that everybody who opposed this
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: God went down. And maybe if I would line up
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: with him, instead of trying to get him to line
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: up with me, then perhaps I could get the victory
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: over my dilemma, my circumstance.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: And they went about a radical.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Ruthless, unorthodox, unnecessary method of crossing over. But sometimes when
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: you get ready to break bands and break ties, sometimes
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: you don't know how to get away. And instead of
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: being cut away, you tear away and you just get
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: away any way you can. And that's something you have
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: to understand. When you really get tired of being up
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: under other people's control, there's a spirit of escapism that
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: comes upon you.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: You know when you get ready to escape, you become ruthless.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: When you really get to a breaking point and come
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: to the end and you say, I've got to get away,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: you get away any way you can. And that's how
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: the Gibeonites were. They just wanted to break away so
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: that they could attach themselves to the Israelites and serve
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the Lord. There are times, beloved, that you have to
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: make changes and make moves and do things that bring
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: about great criticism. but you have to do them so
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: that you can line yourself up into the perfect will
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: of God. And one of the things that's killing this
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: generation is that we want to move without criticism. And
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: one of the major things that God is teaching me
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: in this hour is that if you're going to serve him,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: you have to become accustomed to criticism.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: You have to become accustomed to it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: You have to get to the point that it just
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't disturb you, that it doesn't nag you, that it
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: doesn't have you sitting up at three o'clock in the morning.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: You have to be acquainted with grief and say, here
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: comes my old friend again. You have to know how
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: to take a licking and keep on ticking.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: It's just....
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: And the Gibeonites, when they made certain moves and began
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: to break away, they came up under a spirit of
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: criticism and frustration. They went and attached themselves to the Israelites.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: And when they entered into the relationship, they came into
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a position of servitude.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: There's something you ought to understand.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: When God delivers you from a near-death situation, when you
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: have come through hell and high water, and you finally
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: get over in the kingdom, You're not worried about prestige.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: You're not worried about position. You're not worried about politics.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: They were in there serving water and sweeping the floor
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: and cleaning windows and cleaning out cabinets or doing whatever
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: servants did in the Bible. It's not so much because
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: you're ignorant or that you don't see or that you
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: don't understand. It's certainly not that you're a flunky or
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: anything like that. But when you know that if it
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: had not been for the Lord that was on your side.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't even be there. It just changes the whole
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: aura of your worship and your ministry, and you're just
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: glad to be here. Do you know what it's like
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: to just be glad to be here? Whether anybody celebrates
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: you or recognizes you or honors you or anything else,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: when you remember where you came from, you're just glad.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: No check came in the mail. No new car pulled
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: up in the driveway. No promotion on the job. Just
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: glad to be here. It creates a spirit where you
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: can become comfortable to be a servant.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: And they were serving the Lord.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I think it's a dangerous thing when we take people
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: into the ministry and into the kingdom and immediately promote
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: them into position. I think it's healthy to come up
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: through the ranks. Yes.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Amen, amen.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's healthy for you to clean the pulpit
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: before you preach in it. It doesn't hurt you at
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: all to go through just a little training, just a
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: little ice-breaking experience so that you don't forget that every
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: job in the kingdom is slave. The only opening God
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: has on the application is slave. That's the only position
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: that is available. And if you're not a servant, then
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: there are no openings for you. Oh, hallelujah. Where did
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: we get this Hollywood spirit that is taking over the
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: church where we have spiritual celebrities?
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: We are called to lay our lives.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Down.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: The Kyrianites began to serve.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Now the enemy doesn't mind you being a part as
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: long as you don't serve. You can come Sit up
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: and look important and be distinguished and prolific.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: And profound, inspiring.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: As long as you don't function, he's not intimidated by
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: your presence in the building. But the moment that you
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: begin to serve the Lord, because he knows the benefits
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: of serving the Lord, you're going to come into a
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: level of criticism that you didn't know.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: In fact, you know, when you really get.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Past the barrier to understanding it, you can become encouraged
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: through criticism. Sometimes I would not have known that I
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: was doing anything effective if the devil hadn't fought me.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Like he did. When he started fighting me.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I said, I didn't know I was doing anything well
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: enough for you to fight me like that. I'm encouraged
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: to fight you some more. So if you're on the
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: hit list, you must be somebody. If you're on the
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: hit list, you must be somebody. Nobody puts a bag
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: lady on the hit list. Nobody puts a street walker
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: on the hit list.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: If they got a contract on you, you must be somebody.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: And there was a contract out on the Gibeonites and
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: all of the kings began to get together. It's amazing
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: how people will get together to kill you. You can't
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: get them together for anything else. But if they have
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: somebody that they want to victimize, people who weren't speaking
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: last week. Will unite their forces and have meetings and
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: drink coffee and have each other over for dinner. And
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: there was some sort of league, some sort of posse
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: that was developed for the destruction of the Gibeonites. And
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: by them being new to this movement, they were intimidated
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: and afraid and concerned. And they sent for Joshua to
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: come up and give them some assistance. Now, let me
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: tell you, I don't care how anointed you are. There
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: are going to be times in your life that you
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: need some help. I don't care if you speak Greek
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: and Hebrew and even Swahili. There are going to be
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: some days that you just need to pick up the
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: telephone and say, hey, I need some help. I'm going
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: through some changes. Is there any word from the Lord?
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Just encourage me. Just break bread with me. Let's eat
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: a tuna fish salad and talk about hard times. Let's
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: drink some Kool-Aid and just talk it over. Just to
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: know that somebody is with you because there's power in
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: holy community.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Amen. if two or three are gathered.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: I know you think you're awesome by yourself, but if
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: you would let somebody help you. If you don't mind
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: touching the person next to you, touch them and say.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I think I need you. Yeah, yeah.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I might need you. I might need you. I might
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: need you. I might need you. I'm up under siege.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: I'm up under attack. Legions of adversity are coming against
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: me and I think I might need you back. Joshua
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: now was a seasoned soldier. He did not depend on
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: his reputation, his skill, or his resume. When he understood
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: that he was needed for battle, before he consulted his
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: resources and looked amongst his men and checked his equipment,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: he fell on his knees and talked to his God.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Because you are only mighty when the anointing of the
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Lord is on you. If the spirit of the Lord
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: is not, you might have got the victory and did
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: awesome exploits on one occasion and come into total disgrace
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: on another occasion because you've got to understand that we
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: have the treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: May be of God and not of us. And so
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: he says, Lord, I don't want to fight without you.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I'm concerned because I think we're attempting too many things
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: without God. depending on our reputation, our resources, our books,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: our principles, our manuals, our one, two, three steps, and
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: three steps to get it done, and five steps to
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: a miracle, 10 ways to get a marriage going, 12
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: ways to get your house, 10 ways to get your
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: children through college, three ways, one, two, now I said one,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and then two, I turned around three times like I
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: was supposed to, and then on.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: The third time, I stopped my foot to the right,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and I did this to the left, and we have
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: fallen in love with the principle, but we need to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: fall in love with the principle. Whenever Jesus is on
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: your side, he'll make a difference in your life.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: There are some attacks that when I face them, I
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: don't read anybody's book or anybody's tape. I lay on
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: my face and say, speak to my heart, Holy Spirit.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Speak to me.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Speak to me. David prayed, lead me in a plain
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: path because of my enemies. Joshua said, they hate me
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: too bad for me to run up there without you, God.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Somebody knows what I'm talking about. They're waiting on me
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: to fail, God. I'm going to need your help. They've
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: already prophesied doom and gloom.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I better consult you. And Joshua prayed.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Prayed.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: These are praying times. God knows these are.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Praying times. Praying times. Times to just lay out before
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: God and ask him for a strategy.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: For this age. Need a strategy for little simple things.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure my mother and my grandmother had to
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: have a strategy.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: To raise children. They just raised children.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Cooked for you, fed you, clothed you, slapped you over
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: in the corner if you said something silly. I don't
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: remember them having to go into a spiritual trance to
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: raise children. I don't remember in those days any children
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: that were abusing their parents. I don't remember any grandmothers
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: who were locked up in the house by little children.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: What is this we're living in today? That parents are
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: afraid of their own children. We need to get back
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: in the face of God. We need a strategy for
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: this age. this isn't even natural it's satanic we need
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: to pray it down i know it's old-fashioned but i
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: still believe in pleading the blood i would plead the
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: blood all over my house before i let the devil take.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Over my house.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I would i'd walk all over the house and talk
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: in tongues i would wash clothes and speak in tongues
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: i would anoint the bathroom with oil before i let
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: the devil take over my house.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Joshua prayed for a strategy.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: God, show me how I am to ascend because if
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: you are not with me, I do not want to go.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: The Lord released him. Whenever God releases a man, you
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: can't do nothing with it. Men can release you and
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: change their mind in the morning, but if God releases you,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: No weapon formed against you shall be able if God.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Willed it. And the Bible said that Joshua went up speedily.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Boy, there's a boldness that comes over you when you
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: know God's with you.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: It changes your whole personality when you know he's got
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: your back.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I am my mother's youngest child. I had an older
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: brother that was seven years older than me. And believe
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: it or not, he was bigger than me and he
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: was much badder than me. He would kick in doors
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: and windows and fight.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: And cut and shoot.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: And when I was 12, you know, he was 19.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: And when I knew my brother was behind me, you
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: ought to see how I would act. I would just
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: walk up on you and tell you everything I wanted
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: to say because I knew he was right behind me.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: And I think the problem with us now, we're just
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: saying all sorts of things to the enemy, but we
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: have not checked to make sure that God was behind us.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: And when you start making all of those declarations, when
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: we were kids, we.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Called them wolf tickets.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: When you start selling all those wolf tickets, you haven't
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: got any power behind you.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: The enemy starts saying, Paul I know and Jesus I know.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: But hey, hey man. Hallelujah. Tell somebody, tell them I'm
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: not in this thing by myself. Oh, bless his name. Hallelujah.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: And the Lord went up with him.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Joshua against this league of kings who had set themselves
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: in array against the Gibeonites. And the Bible says that
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: when Joshua got there, he drew his sword.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: And that's something that we have to understand.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Before we can expect God to do what he's going
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: to do, there are some things that we have to do.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: in heaven and whatsoever you loose on earth shall be
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: loosed in heaven. There has to be an agreement between
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: the earth realm and the spirit realm. when he taught
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: the disciples how to pray. The prayer was, thy will
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: be done on earth as it is in heaven. In
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: other words, let me reflect in the earth realm what's
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: going on in the heavenlies. If it's not happening in
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: the heavens, don't let me manifest it on earth. That's
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: how you get the victory over the devil. You tell him,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: ain't nobody sick in heaven, ain't nobody broke in heaven,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: ain't nobody dead in heaven. If it's not happening over there, back, back, devil,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: it doesn't happen to happen over here. Somebody help me
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: praise him in here. Workers, laborers together with God want
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: to fight what he's fighting, kill what he kills, move
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: what he moves. I don't want to try to move
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: anything that God is not interested in moving. I don't
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: want to raise anybody from the dead but the Lazarus
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: that God wants to be raised.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I don't want to fix what he doesn't want fixed.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I don't want to heal what he doesn't want to heal.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I just want to do his.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Will in the earth realm as he declares it in
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: the heavens. And so when you get ready to do anything,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: you have to ask for divine permission. One translation says,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: whatsoever hath been loosed in heaven shall be loosed on earth.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Whatsoever hath been bound in heaven shall be bound on earth.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Means you can only loose in the earth realm, but
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: it's loosed in the heavens. If it's loosed in the heavens,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: it's loosed in the earth realm. If it's yours in
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: the spirit, it's yours in the natural. That's why whenever
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: you pray, the first thing that breaks loose for you
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: is something in your spirit. All of a sudden, you
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: just know it. Circumstances don't reflect it. Situations don't reflect it.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: People don't agree with it. But there's a knowing that
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: comes in your spirit. If it's mine in the spirit,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: then it's going to be mine in the natural.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: And by faith, it's the birth realm. By faith.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Abel offered up a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. By faith,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Enoch walked with God and was not. By faith, Noah
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: being warned of God of things not yet seen, moved
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: with fear. If you're going to get it, it's going
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: to come by. So faith becomes the birth canal or
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: the conduit whereby that thing that is yours in the
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: heavenlies manifest in the natural. Joshua drew his sword.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: In the earth realm and began to wage war in
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the name of the Lord.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: And the Bible says that while he was waging war.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Now wait.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: I got to talk about war because some of us
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: have not gone to war we've not gone to war
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: we're still in a state of pity but you have
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: to get beyond self pity and go into a war
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: mode the Bible said the kingdom suffereth and the Take
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: it by force. That means that when you suffer enough violence,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: you become violent. When you get sick and tired of
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: being sick and tired, you become violent. When you get
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: tired of being strung out on drugs, you become violent.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: When you get tired of being abused, you become violent.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: You say, devil, not another day. I'm tired of this.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I'm ready to grow up. I'm through feeling sorry for myself.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I'm through crying about my childhood. I'm through talking about
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: where was my father?
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Where is my mother? I am going to walk. Let
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: me up. Let me up.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Come on, let me out now. I've been down long enough.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: You have to suffer enough that you get tired of it.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: When you become violent, you will go to war. Look
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: at somebody and tell them this means war. I don't
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: know who I'm preaching to, but I'm talking to somebody.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Don't allow the enemy to abuse you another day.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Go to war. Go to war. Broke, busted, and disgusted,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: but go to war.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Dry your eyes and strengthen your back, straighten your neck,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: and go to war.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: If God be for you. I feel like shouting a
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. War, war
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: in my house, warring on my knees, warring in worship,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: warring in prayer, warring in prayer.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Warring in love. I'm mad and I'm not taking it anymore.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: I am going to war. let me behave Joshua's truest
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: soul said I'm going to fight.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: And as he began to fight that's when the miracle
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: happened some miracles are not going to happen until you
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: move into a war mode.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Pity mode will not motivate God but if you get
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: in a war mode it will move God He didn't
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: get a real move of God till he drew his
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: sword and somebody who's in trouble right now.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: You just need to draw your.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: When he drew his sword the power of God began
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: to move while he was driving back enemies and killing
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: and destroying all of those that were opposing the vision
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: and the purpose of God not the vision and the
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: purpose of the man the vision and the purpose of.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: God but He was killing them out.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: And he looked around and there was some folk dying
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: that he hadn't got to yet. And he said, now,
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: I know who killed him and who killed him and
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: who killed him.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: And I know how you died. Who killed you? Why
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: are you laying on the ground?
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: And he looked over his shoulder and recognized that while
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: he was fighting in the earth realm, God was fighting
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: in the heavenlies.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Glory to God.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: The Bible said that God opened up the heavens and
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: began to send hailstorms down on the enemy. He began
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: to rock the enemy. He began to kill them out.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: I came to tell you, whatever it is that you're
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: going through, it's not going to be as hard as
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: you think it is because God's fighting with you. Some
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: things are going to die, and you're not even going to.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Know how they died, but God... He opened up the heavens.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: And began to rock the enemy.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: He simply rocked him.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: And Joshua moved into an advantage that you never discover
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: until you're in the middle of the battle. He found
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: out that it is never as hard as you thought
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: it would be. As long as you're sitting up looking
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: at it, the enemy will intimidate you and tell you
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: it can't be done.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: But if you draw your sword, I.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Don't know whether I have enough or not, but I'm
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: going to use what I got to get what I want.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm going to have to go through.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: But I made up my mind they're not going to
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: take me laying down See, you can talk about Peter
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: all you want to, but I believe that God respected
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Peter because he was courageous. He wasn't always right, but
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: he was courageous. Peter would bust a move. Sometimes you
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: need to bust a move. Touch somebody for me and
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: tell them, bust a move. He said, Lord, if it's you,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: bid me to come.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: God will always use.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Those kinds of people. And the Lord began to assist
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: him in the battle. Why is this battle crucial? Any
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: time you break away from something that tries to recapture you,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: It is crucial that you get the victory over that
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: past intimidation before you go forward into the thrust of
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: what God has for you. Some things you don't even
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: have to fight, but when it used to be your
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: master and it's after you again, you have to take
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: the time to deal with the masters.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: That had you enslaved.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: That is what happened to Israel when they left Pharaoh
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: and began to move out of Egypt. They had left
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: and the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh and allowed
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: him to pursue them. Because it is not enough to
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: get away from your past. You have got to take
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: the time to destroy it. because if you don't destroy
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: it it will always chase you the rest of your
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: life somebody in this room tonight you need to stop
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: and take a minute and deal with that jason that
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: monster that skeleton that ghost that keeps coming up out
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: of your past Tell the devil I'm not going to
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: have another nightmare, not another headache, not another worry, not
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: another night of low esteem and burdens and confusion and turmoil.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: I refuse to be miserable. He whom the Son has
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: set free is free indeed. And it's the same principle
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: that God did with Israel. He allowed the Egyptians to
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: pursue them. And it is terrifying when you think something's
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: over and find out it isn't. It's terrifying when you
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: think you got away and find out you didn't. It's
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: terrifying to find yourself in between two mountains and a
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Red Sea in front of you and hear hoof prints.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Here it comes again. But remember,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: God orchestrated it. And he intended for Pharaoh to pursue Israel.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: And it looked like Israel was going to be ambushed.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: But it really wasn't Israel that was going to be ambushed.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: It was the enemy. And somebody in here tonight needs
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: to understand that even though past enemies are chasing you again,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: that God is setting you up for one of the
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: greatest victories you.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Have ever seen in your life. He's setting you up.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: He's setting you up.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: He could have let them accept you. He could have
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: let them lock you. He could have let them take
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: you in.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: He could have solved it another way.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Sometimes God doesn't intend for you to be in the
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: clique or be in the club or be in the group.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: He's setting you up. Look at your friend and tell
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: him it's a setup. Yes, it's a setup.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: It's a setup, it's a setup. You can't break up
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: under pressure, it's a setup. God said, I'm not going
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: to leave your enemy living. I'm going to take you
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: through something he can't go through. So that when you
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: get to the other side of it, I'm going to
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: let you look back and see him go down. So
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: that you can settle in your mind that that was
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: then and this is now. You've got to know it's over.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: You've got to know it's over. You can't really be
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: free until you know it is over. And so God
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: began to rock Joshua's enemies. He began to send hailstones
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: against the enemies of the Gibeonites. And Joshua had come
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: to a crucial point. He was on the verge of
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: the victory when he realized he had another enemy. It
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: was not just the League of Kings that he had
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: to be concerned with. He was running out of time.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Running out of time. I'm on the verge of getting
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: it together, but I'm running.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Out of time. I finally see the light. I know
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: my direction. I know my purpose.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: I know my calling. Time is fighting me. The whole system,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: the whole order of events is fighting me. And if
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: I just had more time. I'm close to it. But
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: I'm running.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Out of time.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: And Joshua prayed a crazy prayer. In this last hour,
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: you're going to see God raising up men who will
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: pray crazy prayers. They're going to pray things that have
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: not been prayed before. They're going to ask God for
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: things that they don't have any previous point of reference for.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: It's easy to ask God to do what you've seen
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: him do before. But you're going to find yourself in
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: a situation that you're going to have to ask God
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: to create a way.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Not to repeat away.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be, well, I saw what you
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: did for John and I saw what you did for
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Sue and now I want you to do it for
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: me too. Sometimes you're going to find yourself saying, God,
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: I have never seen you do this for anybody before,
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: but I need you to do this for me.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Crazy prayers.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Prayers that don't make any sense. Prayers that you can't
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: even tell anybody that you're praying because they would criticize
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: you and think you lost your mind.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: But God is able to answer a crazy prayer.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Something that's so ridiculous that if your friends knew you
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: were believing God for it, they would laugh you out
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: of the church. But God is able to answer ridiculous prayers.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Secret prayers, moanings and groaning. God is able to answer
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: the prayer of a barren woman and leave her pregnant
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: with a child.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Crazy prayer.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: God is able to raise up a dead man that's
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: stinking in the tomb.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Crazy prayer.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: So he prayed a crazy prayer. He said, Lord, stop
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: the sun. Nobody had ever said nothing like that to
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: God before. Asked him to stop the Red Sea. Asked
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: him to stop droughts. Asked him to send bread from heaven.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Nobody ever asked him to stop the center of our
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: solar system.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: A star 186,000 miles in diameter. 93,000 miles away.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Reach it.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: I'm fighting everything I can reach down here, but there's
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: something fighting me that I can't reach. God, if you
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: will reach what I can't reach, then I will reach
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: what I can reach.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Stop that. Arrest the son.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: The thing that controls the whole system, whose gravitational pull
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: holds all the planets at bay. I'm not asking you
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: to stop the earth. I'm asking you to stop the sun.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: If you stop the sun, you can stop it at
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: its root and everything's going to freeze.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: See, sometimes we're praying.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: About the leaves on the tree, but we ought to
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: pray about the root. We ought to ask God to
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: do something about the very root of it. the sun
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: get the thing down at its origin and bring about
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: deliverance somebody say amen stay right here with me God
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: is able to deal with the thing at its source.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Stop the sun 75% hydrogen.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: 25% helium flaming burning gaseous star.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Stop it.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: The sun controls the whole solar system, the whole cosmos,
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: the whole order.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Stop it. Freezing.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: God is going to arrest some things for his people
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: that you thought couldn't be stopped.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Stop it.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: When you're fighting and things are set in motion against
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: you and the whole system is against you and the
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: whole circumstance is against you and there are more things
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: against you than you can reach or deal with or
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: have access to. My purpose in being here is to
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: let you know that if you reach what you can reach,
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: God will reach what you cannot reach. And he can
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: put a cog in the wheel of the enemy. He
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: can stop the whole thing. He can freeze the plot
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: of the enemy. He can deal with the adversity and
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: the trial and the dilemma. He can just, why freeze it?
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Because I just need a little more time. Because I'm
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: on the edge, I'm on the verge of a massive victory.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: Because I've almost got all things up under my feet.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: And all I need is a little bit more I
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: call it the 25th hour. Extra time. Time you weren't
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: even supposed to have. Time you had no right to
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: ask for. Time that you needed because you wasted the
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: time that you had and now you've got to ask for.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: The 25th hour.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: When you look back and see how many days and how.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Many weeks and how many years you wasted in vain living.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Now you're trying to redeem the time.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to ask him for extra time. I
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: need more time.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: I wasted time fighting people when I should have been
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: fighting the devil.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Give me a little more time.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: I wasted time feeling sorry for myself when I should
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: have drew my sword.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: Give me. God knows how.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: Stop the whole system if theologically you wouldn't call it
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: the 25th hour you would call it grace Grace grace
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: then we can come boldly to the throne of grace
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: and obtain mercy and find grace. 25th hour, to help
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: in the time of need. What is grace? What is
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: the 25th hour? It's when the facts are against you.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Fact is 24 hours. But the 25th hour, grace is
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: when God does you a favor. Have you ever had
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: God do you a favor? When the facts were against
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: you and God just did you a favor. Something you,
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: oh come on, something you didn't earn. Something you didn't deserve.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: You couldn't write a book and say it was my
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: prayer life. It was my righteousness. It was my conviction.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: You couldn't claim it. You couldn't authenticate it. You couldn't
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: explain it. God just did something supernatural for you. He
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: blessed you over top of the facts, the circumstance, and
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: the situation. You know you ought to tell your enemies
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: about the 25th hour. Some of them can't figure out
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: how you got what you got.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: But God just....
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: When God gets ready to bless you, can't nobody curse you.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: When God gets ready to raise you up, can't nobody
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: put you down. When God gets ready to bring you out,
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: can't nobody hold you under. He'll put a cog in
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: the wheel. He'll stop the.
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: Whole system.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: In order to bless you, he'll arrest you. I know
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: there's still a few things you haven't got together. I'm
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: going to give you a little time.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: Now I want to talk about the mentality of people
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: in the 25th hour and I'll be done. When you
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: start dealing with people in the 25th hour, they act
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: different from people who are walking in the 24th. When
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: you're dealing with somebody who understands, That God is doing
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: them a favor. They don't have time to be arrogant.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Because they're so happy about the favor. While you're sitting
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: up trying to be wonderful. They got their hands up
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: in there praising God. Because they know that if it
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: had not been for the Lord.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: That was on their side. They would have never made
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: it through the struggle.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: And so while you're trying to get the most beautiful,
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: the most wonderful, the most distinguished, the most classical, the
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: most profound, the most prolific award, they're trying to get
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: the best praiser, the best worshiper, the best lover of God,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: the best thank you Jesus, the best hallelujah in the house.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: When you're in the 25th hour, you don't care who's
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: looking at you. You don't care what they say about you.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: You don't care what they think about you.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: You don't come to church for people. You came to
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: church to receive instruction and correction and edification and to
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: praise the Lord. And people don't understand you because when
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: you're in the 25th hour, you don't have time to
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: play dumb games. When you're in the 25th hour, you
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: don't have time for contest. You don't have time for foolishness.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Let somebody tell them, I don't have time. I know
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: how to play, but I don't have time. I know
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: how to be important, but I don't have time. I
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: know how to be wonderful, but.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: I don't have time. I know how to be vicious,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: but I don't have time.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: He did me a favor. He blessed me against the odds.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: He raised me up in spite of the enemy. When
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: the enemy came against me, like a flood, the Spirit
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: of the Lord lifted up a standard against me.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: I'm at the 25th hour. I don't have time to play.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not just talking about people who shout to be
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: seen or praise to be cute or just acting wild
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: or silly. I'm talking about grateful people. Thankful people. People
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: who've been through hell and high water. Lacked and died.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: Almost got killed. Nearly lost their mind. Some kind of
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: way God did them a favor. when you sit beside
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: somebody in the 25th hour it's hard to be comfortable
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: they keep jumping up and sitting down they keep crying
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: they keep writing notes they keep looking up in the
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: heavenlies they'll lay prostrate in the floor they'll cry in
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: the car they'll shout in the living room they'll.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: Dance in the house.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to sit down.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: I don't want to mess it up before I get started,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: but I want to tell you, if you're 25th.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Hour, you need to run. Don't let nobody stop you.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: Run.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Don't let a circumstance stop you.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: Run.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: Put everything up under your feet in the In the
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: name of Jesus, who you were, up under your feet,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: where you came.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: From, up under your feet, your old neighborhood, up under
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: your feet, your childhood. Somebody stand up on your feet
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: and give God praise all over the house. I dare
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: you to praise him. I dare.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: You to.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: Worship him.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: I dare you to at least.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: Say thank you. Remember what he did for you.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Just tell him thank you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Listen to me tonight.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: You can overcome the main issues, but if you don't
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: deal with the residue, you still won't be free. The little, haunting,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: nagging enemies That nobody would know that you have.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: But you.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: They see all the things that were slain. They've heard
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: your wonderful testimony. But I'm talking about that thing that
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: you don't talk about. I'm not talking about the part
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: that they call you in to tell. I'm talking about
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: the part you don't bring up. Doesn't have to be
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: a whole lot. Sometimes it's just a little residue. Just
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: a little leftover things that you just need a little
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: more time. Just a little scar that's left. Not quite healed.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: My mother says that when it rains, she gets pain.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: Other times it's okay, but when the weather gets a
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: certain way, she.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: She gets a little tightness.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: It'll be all right, but then something will just take
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: it off. A little residue that incites you to riot.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: Or when certain things happen and you become fearful again.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: People punch a certain button and you lose confidence in yourself.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: Just little, I'm not talking about things people would see.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about things that people don't even know. People
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: who think they know you. do not know you they
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: don't really know you you got people discussing you who
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: don't really know you you got people advising you who
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: don't really know you.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: But god knows you.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Do you think that God would have gone through all
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: the trouble that he went through? Stop the sun. Deal
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: with the enemies. Move supernaturally in your life. And then
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: not deal with this little residue of problems that are
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: left in your life. Here's my conviction. I'll share it
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: with you. I believe that everybody, I don't have no
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: scripture for it, so don't be deep and meet me
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: in the lobby, I don't care. I said, I believe
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: that everybody ought to have two or three things stuck
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: back in the corner somewhere in your mind that you
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: know God did for you. Listen, people might be trying
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: to take credit for it, but you.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Know God did it for you.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: Just two or three things that whenever you get in trouble,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: you can just read his resume. and say, remember back
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: in 70? When you were in trouble and God can't
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: remember when you were in the hospital and God came along.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: Remember when your children were in the jail house and
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: remember when your husband left you and you thought you
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: couldn't make it. Remember when you lost your job and
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: you thought you were at the end of your life.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: Remember how God, you just, you ought to get God's
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: resume out and just.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: Let me see. It might not be everybody. Maybe I'm wrong.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: How many folks in here have two or three things
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: you know God did for you?
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: Put your hand way up. You know he did it.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: You don't have to ask anybody. You know he did it.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: Reach over and shake hands with somebody and say neighbor.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: If God did that. Find somebody else and say, neighbor,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you're facing. I don't know what
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: you're going through. But don't worry. Because if God did that.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: I'm out of time you've got so many wonderful speakers
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: that are coming this week I don't want to absorb
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: all of your time. Reach through the aisles and just
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: join hands all across the auditorium. Band, span every gap.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Touch somebody whether they act like they want to be
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: touched or not. Just make them be nice. Hallelujah.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. You are in the 25th hour. You don't have
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: time to play. Every little insecurity and fear and inhibition
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: and scar and pain and weariness and dread and agitation
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: and jealousy and irritation and everything that would hinder you
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: from this moment must be arrested, must be eradicated, must
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: be dealt with, must be reckoned with. You are too
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: important to God's program to be hindered by a little
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: residual of yesterday.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: God wants you released. He wants you set free by
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: the power of God.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: And right now we're going to reckon things to be dead.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: We're going to reckon things to be dead that are
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: coming against us. We're going to have a funeral service.

• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: a funeral tonight. I'm the mortician. The Holy Spirit has
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: dug the grave. And tonight we're going to throw things
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: in we don't want to see anymore. We're going to
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: throw in yesterday and the past and where we came
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: from and who hurt us and who won't help us
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: and who didn't recognize us and who won't accept us.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: We've got to bury it.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: As we join hands around this auditorium, every man, woman,

• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: Not another nightmare. Not another terror. Not another cold grip
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: of fear. Not another bitter taste of acid in your mouth.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: Not another day of feeling like a little boy again
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: or feeling like a little girl again. Not another day
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: of shrieking over in a corner and being afraid to
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: look anybody in the eye.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: Not another day. Lord, by your power, send deliverance. Heal marriages.

• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: we can touch again. Heal us till we're not afraid
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: of people.

  Speaker 1: Heal us. Spirit of the living God, have your way
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: in this place.

• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: the grave. Give us the grace to toss it in

• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: who wasn't with us and who left us and who
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: for some reason going in the hole. We can't waste
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: another day worrying about that. That was then, this is now.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: Sin deliverance. While we join our hands, we join our
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: hearts and we praise you and we thank you for
