  GOD. PRAISE GOD. I'M JUST WAITING ON GOD
• 14:57
  HERE FOR A MOMENT. THANK YOU, JESUS.
• 15:01
  (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
• 15:11
  I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SOMEONE THAT'S HERE OR SOMEONE ONLINE OR
• 15:14
  BOTH OR WHATEVER, BUT HERE'S WHAT I FEEL IN MY SPIRIT. IS
• 15:20
  THERE SOMEONE THAT YOU LOVE TO SEW? I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT, YES,
• 15:27
  YOU DO LOVE TO SOW S-O-W INTO FINANCES, BUT YOU LOVE TO SEW
• 15:32
  S-E-W, SEW MATERIAL TOGETHER, LIKE TO MAKE CLOTHES OR ARTICLES
• 15:37
  OF CLOTHING OR WHATEVER. YOU LIKE TO SEW, BUT YOU'VE BEEN
• 15:41
  FRUSTRATED BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN SO, I WANNA SAY LIKE HEAVY LADEN
• 15:48
  WITH THE CARES OF LIFE THAT YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY
• 15:51
  THIS HOBBY OF YOURS WHICH IS SEWING. AND GOD HAS A WORD FOR
• 15:57
  YOU TONIGHT. AND I DON'T KNOW, IS THAT ANYONE HERE BY CHANCE?
• 16:01
  THAT'S YOU? OH, COME UP HERE QUICKLY. OKAY, COME UP HERE.
• 16:05
  THANK YOU, JESUS. HALLELUJAH. THANK YOU, JESUS. HERE'S WHAT
• 16:09
  GOD SHOWED ME WAS THAT AS YOU MOVE INTO MORE AND MORE TRUST IN
• 16:18
  WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU, HE'S GONNA TAKE, HE SAW THAT, THAT, I MEAN,
• 16:23
  WE THINK, OH, THAT, IS THAT REALLY IMPORTANT, WHAT SOMEONE'S
• 16:26
  HOBBY IS? YES, IT'S IMPORTANT TO GOD. LIKE I SAID, HE KNOWS HOW
• 16:28
  MANY HAIRS WE HAVE ON OUR HEAD OR DON'T HAVE ON OUR HEAD,
• 16:31
  RIGHT? AMEN. AND SO HE'S CONCERNED ABOUT EVEN THINGS LIKE
• 16:36
  OUR HOBBIES. HE'S EVEN CONCERNED ABOUT PASTOR HANK'S TRAIN HOBBY.
• 16:40
  HE WANTS HIM TO HAVE THE BEST. AND HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE THE
• 16:45
  ABILITY TO ENJOY WHAT HE'S GIFTED YOU TO DO. AND SO WHAT
• 16:51
  I'M HEARING THE HOLY GHOST SAY TONIGHT IS START MOVING INTO,
• 16:55
  EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU DON'T HAVE TIME OR EVEN THE CARES OF THE
• 16:58
  WORLD HAVE GOTTEN YOU CONSUMED WITH THINGS, YOU START MOVING
• 17:02
  INTO THAT THING THAT YOU LOVE. AND WHAT THE LORD SAID TO ME, AS
• 17:05
  YOU SOW, YOU WILL GO. AND THAT MEANS THIS, AS YOU DO MORE OF
• 17:10
  YOUR HOBBY, THAT GOD IS GOING TO EVEN OPEN UP THINGS FOR YOU TO
• 17:15
  DO MORE FOR HIM, AND YOU WILL SOW IN THE NATURAL, CLOTHING,
• 17:19
  ARTICLES, AND THAT THINGS, BUT YOU'RE ALSO A SOWER INTO
• 17:23
  PEOPLE'S LIVES OF S-O-W, SOWING, WHERE YOU'RE GIVING INTO
• 17:28
  PEOPLE'S LIVES AND THE HEARTS AND MINISTRIES, AND YOU LOVE TO
• 17:31
  DO THAT, AND GOD'S GONNA OPEN THAT UP FOR YOU, AND SO AS YOU
• 17:34
  SEW, S-E-W, YOU'RE GOING TO DO MORE S-O-W-ING, SOWING INTO
• 17:42
  PEOPLE'S LIVES AND HEARTS AND TOUCH PEOPLE, AND THEN THOSE
• 17:45
  THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HEAVY LADEN ON YOU, THAT YOU'VE BEEN
• 17:49
  CARRYING, ARE GONNA JUST KINDA FLOAT AWAY AS YOU PURSUE THAT
• 17:53
  WITH GOD. IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. AND YOU BE BLESSED. YES,
• 17:58
  HALLELUJAH, THANK YOU, JESUS. THANK YOU, JESUS, THANK YOU,
• 18:02
  JESUS. THE OTHER THING I'M SEEING IS THERE'S SOMEONE AND
• 18:08
  YOU HAVE A SON THAT YOU'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT. YOU HAVE A SON,
• 18:14
  S-O-N, THAT YOU'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT. IT'S LIKE YOU
• 18:19
  TRAINED YOUR SON, YOU NURTURED YOUR SON. YOU DID THE BEST AND
• 18:25
  YOU'VE EVEN PRAYED THIS, "FATHER, I'VE DONE THE VERY BEST
• 18:27
  THAT I COULD TO RAISE HIM." NOT THAT YOU HAVEN'T MADE MISTAKES,
• 18:31
  WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES FOR RAISING CHILDREN, BUT YOU DID YOUR BEST
• 18:37
  AT THE TIME, FROM THE TIME THE CHILD WAS BORN THROUGH WHEREVER
• 18:42
  HE'S AT NOW, YOU DID YOUR BEST WHILE HE WAS UNDER YOUR CARE TO
• 18:47
  NURTURE HIM, TO TRAIN HIM IN THE THINGS OF GOD, AS MUCH AS YOU
• 18:49
  KNEW, THAT IS, BUT YOU PLANTED INTO HIM. BUT NOW HE'S CAUSED
• 18:55
  SOME HEARTACHE AND SOME DISCOURAGEMENT, AND IT'S KEEPING
• 19:01
  YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT TO WHERE YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THIS. AND
• 19:07
  GOD IS SAYING, DON'T WORRY, DON'T GET INTO FEAR, BECAUSE THE
• 19:12
  WORD SAYS, TRAIN UP A CHILD AS THEY WILL GO, AND THEY WILL NOT
• 19:17
  DEPART. I'M NOT GETTING THE WORDS JUST RIGHT, BUT YOU KNOW
• 19:19
  WHAT THE SCRIPTURE IS. TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY THEY SHOULD
• 19:23
  GO, AND THEY WILL NOT DEPART. SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS, GOD'S
• 19:28
  SAYING, STAND ON THAT, AND FIND THREE OR FOUR OTHER SCRIPTURES
• 19:33
  THAT YOU CAN STAND ON, AND WRITE 'EM OUT, AND BELIEVE GOD FOR
• 19:37
  THEM, AND MOVE INTO FAITH, AND NOT INTO FEAR. AND I'M SPEAKING
• 19:41
  TO SOMEONE, I KNOW THERE'S SOMEONE ONLINE I'M SPEAKING TO.
• 19:43
  IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT THAT'S KIND OF YOU? YOU DON'T HAVE TO
• 19:45
  COME UP HERE TONIGHT. THERE'S SOMEONE IN THE BACK THERE, OKAY.
• 19:49
  AND SO, ANOTHER ONE. SO, MOVE OUT OF WORRY AND FEAR, WHICH
• 19:56
  OPENS A DOOR FOR THE DEVIL TO ATTACK, AND MOVE INTO FAITH, AND
• 19:59
  JUST KEEP CONFESSING THE WORD OVER THIS SITUATION. AND I
• 20:03
  BELIEVE WE'RE GONNA SEE DIVINE TURNAROUND, THE PRODIGALS ARE
• 20:06
  COMING BACK IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN. MATTHEW, I
• 20:13
  HATE TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT WOULD YOU RUN UP HERE? NOW I
• 20:16
  FEEL LED TO DO THIS. COME ON UP HERE, MATTHEW. GIVE MATTHEW A
• 20:21
  HAND AS HE COMES. THIS MAN HAS SUCH A GREAT HEART AND HE'S
• 20:27
  INSTANT IN SEASON AND OUT OF SEASON, SO THAT'S NOT WHY I KNOW
• 20:30
  I CAN PULL ON HIM. HERE'S WHAT I'M FEELING IS THAT THE LORD
• 20:34
  WOULD HAVE US PRAY TONIGHT AGAINST ATTACKS. I'M TALKING
• 20:37
  ABOUT TERRORIST ATTACKS, SLEEPER CELLS, ANY OF THAT STUFF THAT
• 20:42
  WOULD TRY AND MAKE ITS WAY. AND THEN THIS IS A COMBO PRAYER. I
• 20:45
  ALSO WANT YOU TO PRAY AGAINST STORMS AND PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE
• 20:48
  IN TEXAS. IF YOU COULD JUST KIND OF HIT THOSE
• 20:50
  THREE THINGS IN SHORT AND POWERFUL. OKAY.
• 20:54
  - ALL RIGHT. HALLELUJAH. LET'S JOIN OUR FAITH
• 20:57
  TOGETHER. FATHER, WE THANK YOU THAT YOUR WORD SAYS
• 21:00
  THAT WHERE TWO OR MORE GATHERED IN YOUR NAME. FATHER, THAT THERE
• 21:03
  IS POWER, AND WE ARE SEATED IN THAT PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS, FAR
• 21:07
  ABOVE ALL PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS. AND SO WE TAKE OUR
• 21:10
  HEAVENLY POSITION NOW IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT, AND WE
• 21:13
  DECREE AND DECLARE THAT OVER THIS NATION, LORD, WHERE THE
• 21:16
  SPIRIT OF TERROR WOULD TRY TO COME IN, WE BIND AND REBUKE THAT
• 21:20
  IN THE NAME OF JESUS, EVEN OVER THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING
• 21:23
  OVER THIS NATION, IN TEXAS, FATHER. WE DECREE AND DECLARE
• 21:27
  NOW THAT PEACE COMES OVER THAT AREA. AND WHERE STORMS AND RAINS
• 21:32
  HAD COME, WE SAY, PEACE NOW, BE STILL. THAT THESE THINGS
• 21:35
  DISSIPATE, LORD, AND THAT THERE BEGINS TO BECOME A RESTORATION
• 21:39
  OVER THIS REGION NOW. AS EVEN THE PEOPLE GATHER TOGETHER, LET
• 21:44
  LOVE NOW OVERCOME EVERY TRAGEDY AND EVERY FEAR, BECAUSE YOUR
• 21:48
  WORD SAYS THAT LOVE CONQUERS ALL. AND SO WE DECREE AND
• 21:51
  DECLARE THAT THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD OVER THIS NATION
• 21:54
  NOW, BECAUSE IT'S LIKE YOUR WORD SAYS, CAN A NATION BE SAVED IN A
• 21:58
  DAY? AND WE THANK YOU, LORD, THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVEN IT,
• 22:01
  GOD, AND YOU'RE DOING THAT IN THIS VERY MOMENT. AND SO WE
• 22:04
  THANK YOU, LORD, FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS, FOR WHAT YOU HAVE
• 22:06
  DONE IN THIS DAY AND THIS SEASON, THAT YOU HAVE DELIVERED
• 22:09
  US OUT SO THAT YOU CAN DELIVER US IN. AND SO WE THANK YOU FOR
• 22:12
  THAT, GOD. WE GIVE YOU GLORY AND PRAISE FOR IT, AND WE GIVE YOU
• 22:15
  ALL HONOR AND THANKS FOR IT. BECAUSE EVEN AS YOUR WORD SAYS
• 22:19
  IN PHILIPPIANS, "WITH ALL PRAYERS AND SUPPLICATIONS AND
• 22:22
  THANKSGIVING, MAKE YOUR REQUESTS KNOWN TO GOD, AND THE PEACE OF
• 22:26
  GOD WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND MIND." SO WE THANK YOU
• 22:29
  FOR THAT NOW IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
• 22:32
  (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
• 22:38
  - GLORY, WELL, YOU CAN BE SEATED. I GET
• 22:42
  TO, ANYONE KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS? HALLELUJAH. THAT'S RIGHT. SO
• 22:51
  USHERS, YOU CAN HAND OUT IF ANYBODY WANTS ONE. OTHERWISE,
• 22:56
  THEY'LL BE PUTTING THE INFORMATION UP SOON. I GET TO
• 22:59
  GIVE THE OFFERING MESSAGE. AND I WAS JUST IMPRESSED OF THE LORD A
• 23:08
  WHILE BACK. I READ A SCRIPTURE. AND WHAT WAS UNUSUAL ABOUT IT,
• 23:14
  IT WAS A STORY ABOUT A THIEF WHO GOT HONORED. AND IT'S KIND OF
• 23:21
  ONE OF THOSE STRANGE ONES. BUT HE ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, HE
• 23:31
  FIGURED OUT A WAY TO PREPARE FOR HIS FUTURE. AND WHEN HE DID IT,
• 23:43
  THE BOSS THAT HE STOLE FROM HONORED HIM. NOW, THIS IS A
• 23:52
  SCRIPTURE, AND YOU CAN READ IT IN LUKE 16. AND JESUS HONORED
• 24:01
  HIM. REALLY? YEAH. BECAUSE IN LUKE 16:8 IT SAYS, “AND THE LORD
• 24:09
  COMMANDED THE UNJUST STEWARD,” OR THE BOSS, COMMANDED THE
• 24:16
  UNJUST STEWARD, “BECAUSE HE HAD DONE WISELY," OR HE HAD BEEN
• 24:23
  PROGRESSIVELY LOOKING AHEAD. FOR THE CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD ARE
• 24:33
  IN THEIR GENERATION WISER THAN THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT. SO JESUS
• 24:39
  HONORED THIS THIEF. YOU SAY, WELL, WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? HE
• 24:44
  WASN'T HONORING HIM FOR HIS BEING A THIEF. HE WAS HONORING
• 24:49
  HIM FOR THE FACT THAT HE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO USE HIS MONEY
• 24:53
  AND HIS RESOURCES AND WHAT RESOURCES HE HAD TO PREPARE FOR
• 24:59
  HIS FUTURE. AND YOU CAN READ ON IN THAT SCRIPTURE AND HE
• 25:07
  EXPLAINS WHY. SAYS, "WE DON'T SERVE MAMMON, WE DON'T SERVE
• 25:14
  MONEY. "WE HAVE TO CHOOSE WHO WE SERVE AND WE SERVE HIM. "SO WE
• 25:21
  USE OUR MONEY TO PREPARE FOR OUR FUTURE. "WE USE OUR RESOURCES TO
• 25:28
  PREPARE FOR OUR FUTURE." SO WHEN YOU'RE GIVING, YOU'RE NOT JUST
• 25:31
  GIVING TO YOUR PRESENT TIME, YOU'RE GIVING TO YOUR FUTURE.
• 25:36
  YOU'RE PREPARING FOR YOUR FUTURE. AND NOT, JESUS DOESN'T
• 25:40
  LEAVE IT AT THAT, IT'S NOT JUST THE FUTURE HERE IN THIS TIME
• 25:44
  PERIOD, BUT IT'S IN THE FOREVER LIFE. JESUS SAYS YOU CAN USE
• 25:54
  YOUR MONEY TO PREPARE FOR YOUR FOREVER LIFE. NOW IF JESUS SAID
• 26:01
  THAT, I GUESS I HAVE TO BELIEVE IT, DON'T I? EVERYONE WANNA
• 26:05
  BELIEVE THAT? BECAUSE JESUS SAID IT. SO BE WISER THAN THE PEOPLE
• 26:12
  OF THE WORLD. BE WISER THAN THIS THIEF. BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT JUST
• 26:18
  PREPARING FOR THE HERE AND NOW, YOU'RE PREPARING FOR FOREVER.
• 26:24
  AND SO AS YOU GIVE, YOU DO THAT. AS THEY PUT UP THE INFORMATION
• 26:28
  AND PUT IT AND MAKE IT AVAILABLE, SO THOSE WHO ARE
• 26:31
  ONLINE, YOU CAN GIVE AND YOU CAN BE A PART OF THE PROCESS OF
• 26:37
  PREPARING FOR YOUR FUTURE FOREVER. WE THANK YOU FOR ALL
• 26:42
  THE GIVING THAT YOU DO, ESPECIALLY EVERYONE HERE AND OUT
• 26:46
  ONLINE, BECAUSE IT IS WHAT MAKES IT AVAILABLE FOR GOD TO USE US
• 26:52
  IN THE KINGDOM. 'CAUSE HE USES US IN THE KINGDOM. AND EVERY ONE
• 26:58
  OF US ARE A PART OF THAT. AND THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE, DAY BY
• 27:03
  DAY, HOUR BY HOUR. SO AS YOU'RE GETTING YOUR GIFTS READY, LET'S
• 27:09
  PRAY. FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR THE POWER OF YOUR PRESENCE TO
• 27:17
  USE US, TO USE OUR WEALTH, THE WEALTH THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US,
• 27:24
  TO PREPARE OUR FUTURE, HERE ON EARTH AND FOREVER. AND
• 27:32
  I THANK YOU, LORD, THAT IT'S DONE. IN
• 27:35
  JESUS' NAME, AMEN. YOU CAN GIVE IN THE OFFERING.
• 27:43
  (MUSIC)
• 27:53
  - THANK YOU, PASTOR KEITH. HALLELUJAH. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE
• 27:57
  THANKFUL FOR PASTOR KEITH? AMEN. PRAISE GOD. HALLELUJAH. CAN YOU
• 28:05
  HEAR ME TONIGHT? OKAY, I'M DOING OKAY. HALLELUJAH. OH, WHILE THE
• 28:11
  USHERS ARE RECEIVING TONIGHT, LET ME REMIND YOU IN CASE, SO I
• 28:17
  DON'T FORGET, DR. RICHARD ROBERTS WILL BE IN THE HOUSE ON
• 28:20
  SUNDAY. AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT AN HONOR. YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST
• 28:26
  LISTENING TO SOMEONE THE OTHER DAY AND THEY WERE SAYING
• 28:29
  PROBABLY IN THE LAST 100, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS THEY
• 28:33
  WENT BACK AND THINKING THIS, BUT JUST SOME OF THE GREATEST MOVES
• 28:37
  OF GOD HAPPENED AS FAR AS SOULS COMING IN WITH BILLY GRAHAM,
• 28:47
  JIMMY SWAGGART, EARL ROBERTS, OF COURSE WE'VE GOT BROTHER KENNETH
• 28:54
  HAGIN AND KENNETH COPELAND. I MEAN, WE COULD KEEP GOING, BUT
• 28:57
  JUST SO MANY OF THOSE GENERALS ARE MOVING ON, BUT HERE WE HAVE
• 29:02
  THE SON OF ONE OF THE GENERALS COMING SUNDAY, DR. EARL ROBERTS
• 29:06
  WAS, I MEAN, IF YOU GO BACK, JUST GO TO YOUTUBE SOMETIME AND
• 29:09
  START CHECKING OUT SOME OF HIS CRUSADES AND WATCH HIS TEACHING
• 29:15
  AND YOU'LL GET INSPIRED. AND WE NEED TO HONOR
• 29:21
  DR. EARL ROBERTS JUST BY HONORING HIS SON.
• 29:24
  (CONGREGATION AGREEING)
• 29:27
  - AND LET'S FILL THIS PLACE. AND I KNOW PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA
• 29:31
  AND PASTOR SHANE AND CHRISTY ARE ON VACATION, BUT THEY WANT YOU
• 29:34
  HERE TO SUPPORT THOSE THAT COME IN. AND THEY DON'T JUST THROW
• 29:40
  OUT SOMETHING AND SAY, "HEY, WE'RE GONNA SEND SOME GUEST
• 29:43
  SPEAKER IN TO MINISTER." THEY PRAY ABOUT IT AND BELIEVE THAT
• 29:46
  THIS IS WHAT GOD'S WILL IS FOR THIS COMING SUNDAY. AND THEN WE
• 29:50
  HAVE DR. GENE BAILEY THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY. SO WE ARE
• 29:53
  BEING ROYALLY TREATED WHILE THEY ARE OUT. AND SO HONOR THAT, AND
• 29:58
  I KNOW YOU WILL. BUT BRING A FRIEND, TOO. INVITE SOMEONE ELSE
• 30:02
  TO COME IN THAT MAYBE HASN'T BEEN HERE BEFORE. AND IT'S A
• 30:05
  GOOD OPPORTUNITY. WE HAVE A GUEST SPEAKER COMING. BY THE
• 30:08
  WAY, IT'S DR. EARL ROBERTS' SON. MOST PEOPLE HAVE HEARD, I MEAN,
• 30:12
  THERE'S SOME THAT MAYBE HAVEN'T HEARD OF EARL ROBERTS. ANYWAY.
• 30:16
  BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE TAKING NOTES, I'VE TITLED A
• 30:20
  MESSAGE TONIGHT, THE POWER OF DEPENDENCY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 30:25
  WE'RE SO DEPENDENT ON THE HOLY SPIRIT. AND I JUST WANNA BRING
• 30:28
  OUT A FEW THINGS TONIGHT THAT I THINK ARE IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW,
• 30:32
  AS LONG AS WE'RE ON THIS EARTH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TERRITORY TO
• 30:35
  TAKE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE CHALLENGES TO FACE, AND THERE'LL
• 30:40
  BE SOME PUSHBACK AS WE ADVANCE IN GOD'S PLAN AND WHAT HE WANTS
• 30:45
  US TO DO, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS HE HAS GIVEN US EVERY TOOL THAT
• 30:49
  WE NEED TO DO IT. HE'S EQUIPPED US WELL, AND I HAVE A MESSAGE OF
• 30:54
  ENCOURAGEMENT FOR YOU TONIGHT. YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN THIS
• 30:57
  JOURNEY. THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS. YOU'RE NOT A LONE RANGER. NOT
• 31:02
  ONLY DO YOU HAVE THE BODY OF CHRIST WITH YOU, BUT YOU HAVE
• 31:06
  GOD, THE FATHER, JESUS, AND THE MIGHTY HOLY SPIRIT. AND WE'RE
• 31:11
  GONNA TALK AND KIND OF CENTER ON SOME THINGS ABOUT THE HOLY
• 31:15
  SPIRIT TONIGHT. BUT I WANNA FOCUS ON A SCRIPTURE IN A
• 31:20
  PASSAGE THAT I'M GONNA READ IN A LITTLE BIT OUT OF THE BOOK OF
• 31:23
  ZECHARIAH. IT'S A PERSONAL WORD TO US CONFIRMING THE POWER OF
• 31:29
  THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIVES TO GUIDE US, DIRECT US, AND ASSIST
• 31:34
  US AS WE DO GOD'S WORK ON THIS EARTH. AND WHEN WE'RE IN GOD'S
• 31:38
  PLAN, HE'LL GIVE US THE VICTORY IN EVERY SITUATION, AMEN? NOW
• 31:43
  MANY TIMES AS PENTECOSTALS, WE'VE HEARD AND QUOTED THE VERSE
• 31:48
  FROM ZECHARIAH 4:6. YOU COULD PROBABLY QUOTE IT FROM MEMORY
• 31:50
  TONIGHT. "NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT," SAYS
• 31:56
  THE LORD OF HOSTS. PENTECOSTALS LOVE THIS VERSE BECAUSE WE
• 32:02
  UNDERSTAND THAT NOTHING ETERNALLY VALUABLE GETS
• 32:06
  ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. BUT MANY OF
• 32:10
  US, EVEN PENTECOSTALS, ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTEXT OF
• 32:14
  THAT VERSE AND WHAT IT HAS TO DO WITH, REALLY, OTHER THAN THE
• 32:19
  FACT THAT IT'S ENCOURAGING TO KNOW THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS
• 32:23
  WITH US AND WILL GIVE US THE TOOLS WE NEED. BUT WE'RE GOING
• 32:26
  TO DELVE INTO THAT A LITTLE CLOSER TONIGHT. AND I WANT TO
• 32:29
  REMIND YOU AGAIN, I'M REPEATING MYSELF TONIGHT AND I'M DOING IT
• 32:32
  ON PURPOSE, BUT THIS IS A PERSONAL WORD TO YOU. PAUL THE
• 32:36
  APOSTLE WROTE IN 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17, "ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN
• 32:41
  BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IT'S PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR
• 32:45
  REPROOF, AND FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS." SO THE WORD OF
• 32:49
  GOD IS GIVEN TO ALL OF US TO HELP US IN OUR DAILY LIVING. AND
• 32:54
  ORIGINALLY THIS MESSAGE WAS GIVEN FROM THE PROPHET ZECHARIAH
• 32:59
  TO ANOTHER Z NAME, A MAN BY THE NAME OF ZERUBBABEL, TO ENCOURAGE
• 33:05
  ZERUBBABEL IN WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH FOR THE LORD. BUT
• 33:09
  TONIGHT I WANT THIS TO BE A PERSONAL WORD TO YOU TO
• 33:12
  ENCOURAGE YOU IN WHAT YOU'RE DOING. AMEN? ARE YOU WITH ME
• 33:17
  TONIGHT? OKAY, OKAY. SO I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS MESSAGE AS GOD
• 33:23
  SPEAKING THROUGH THE PROPHET ZECHARIAH DIRECTLY TO YOU. PUT
• 33:30
  YOUR NAME IN THERE. IF IT'S SALLY, IF IT'S NANCY, IF IT'S
• 33:33
  JIM, OR IT'S HENRY, PUT YOUR NAME IN THERE. ZECHARIAH IS
• 33:38
  SPEAKING TO ME. SO LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE HISTORICAL
• 33:41
  BACKGROUND BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER. AND THEN WE'LL READ
• 33:44
  THAT PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE. AS YOU KNOW, THE ISRAELITES WERE
• 33:48
  ENSLAVED IN EGYPT FOR ALMOST 400 YEARS UNTIL MOSES LED THEM OUT
• 33:54
  OF BONDAGE. AND THEN CENTURIES LATER, AFTER THEY RETURNED TO
• 33:57
  THE PROMISED LAND, THEY ESTABLISHED THEIR JEWISH
• 34:00
  KINGDOM. AND THEN THE ISRAELITES WERE CONQUERED BY THE
• 34:04
  BABYLONIANS, LED BY KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR II. THERE WAS A
• 34:10
  DESTRUCTION OF SOLOMON'S TEMPLE AT THAT POINT IN TIME BY THE
• 34:14
  BABYLONIAN ARMY. 587 BC, YOU'LL SEE SOLOMON'S TEMPLE WAS BEING
• 34:21
  DESTROYED. THAT BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE CAME DOWN. IT WAS DURING THAT
• 34:25
  BATTLE THAT THE BABYLONIANS DESTROYED THE FIRST JEWISH
• 34:28
  TEMPLE, SOLOMON'S TEMPLE. AND AFTER THAT BATTLE, THE JEWISH
• 34:34
  PEOPLE WERE DEPORTED TO BABYLON. JUST LIKE WE'RE DEPORTING SOME
• 34:39
  ALIENS TODAY, THE JEWISH PEOPLE, THEY'VE BEEN DEPORTED A LOT OF
• 34:43
  TIMES ALL AROUND THIS EARTH. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? GOD STILL
• 34:47
  BREATHES ON THEM. GOD'S STILL WITH THEM. IT'S AMAZING. THERE'S
• 34:50
  STILL JEWS ALIVE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY, BUT THAT JUST TELLS
• 34:56
  YOU THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE AND THAT THERE IS CHOSEN PEOPLE. I
• 35:00
  MEAN, IT'S PROOF THAT THIS WORD IS TRUE. SO, BECAUSE THEY SHOULD
• 35:05
  HAVE BEEN EXTINGUISHED FROM THE EARTH. AND THEN WHY WOULD, I
• 35:09
  MEAN, I'M OFF MY SUBJECT ALREADY, BUT WHY WOULD SATAN
• 35:14
  CHOOSE TO WIPE THIS LITTLE GROUP OF INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE OFF IF
• 35:18
  THEY WEREN'T IMPORTANT? I MEAN, WHY WOULD HE EVEN CARE ABOUT
• 35:20
  THEM WHEN THERE'S ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE AND CULTURES? OH,
• 35:24
  WELL, WE COULD GO THAT PATH, BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA GO ANY FURTHER
• 35:26
  THAN THAT ONE. BUT AFTER THAT BATTLE, THE JEWISH PEOPLE WERE
• 35:30
  DEPORTED TO BABYLON, LIKE I SAID, AND THEN THE ISRAELITES
• 35:33
  WERE CAPTIVE IN BABYLON UNTIL ANOTHER BATTLE OCCURRED, AND
• 35:38
  THAT WAS WHEN THE PERSIANS CAME IN AND FREED THOSE ISRAELITES
• 35:43
  FROM BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY. 48 YEARS AFTER THEY WERE DEPORTED
• 35:49
  TO BABYLON AND HAD TO GO THROUGH THE HARDSHIP OF BEING IN THIS
• 35:57
  BABYLONIAN TERRITORY OR KINGDOM, THEN THE JEWISH PEOPLE WERE
• 36:02
  AGAIN MOVED BECAUSE THE PERSIANS CAME IN. BUT THE GOOD THING
• 36:08
  ABOUT THE PERSIANS AND KING CYRUS WAS HE WAS KIND TO THE
• 36:12
  JEWS. AND HE SAID, YOU CAN GO BACK TO JERUSALEM, AND YOU CAN
• 36:15
  REBUILD YOUR TEMPLE. HE LET THEM GO. HE ALLOWED THEM TO RETURN TO
• 36:20
  JERUSALEM. AND IF YOU'LL PUT UP THIS MAP THAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU
• 36:25
  HERE, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE RUINS OF BABYLON ARE. I DON'T
• 36:30
  KNOW IF YOU CAN READ IT FROM WHERE YOU'RE SITTING, BUT IT'S
• 36:32
  THAT AREA THAT'S MARKED IN YELLOW ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF
• 36:35
  YOUR SCREEN. AND THEN THEY HAD TO TAKE A LONG TRIP ALL THE WAY
• 36:40
  BACK TO JERUSALEM, AND THEY WERE LED BY ZERUBBABEL. AND THAT TRIP
• 36:45
  WAS ABOUT 1,700 MILES. IT TOOK ABOUT, I BELIEVE IT WAS 40 DAYS
• 36:51
  TO GET TO THAT NEW LOCATION. I'M SORRY, FOUR MONTHS. I WAS GOING
• 36:58
  TO SAY 40 DAYS. THEY DIDN'T HAVE JEEPS BACK THEN, SO IT WAS FOUR
• 37:02
  MONTHS. GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF HERE. BUT ANYWAY, IT WAS A TREK
• 37:08
  TO GET BACK. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THEY WERE EXCITED ABOUT GOING
• 37:11
  BACK TO JERUSALEM TO REBUILD THIS TEMPLE. ZERUBBABEL LED THIS
• 37:17
  FIRST GROUP OF JEWISH PEOPLE AND KING CYRUS AND THE PERSIANS WERE
• 37:21
  STILL IN CONTROL. THEY WEREN'T COMPLETELY FREE PEOPLE. THEY
• 37:26
  STILL WERE UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE PERSIANS, BUT AT LEAST THE
• 37:28
  PERSIANS WERE KIND TO HIM AND SAID, "YOU CAN GO BACK AND DO
• 37:30
  WHAT YOU NEED TO DO." ZERUBBABEL WAS THE RECOGNIZED PRINCE OF
• 37:36
  JUDAH DURING THIS TIME AND HE ACTED AS THE GOVERNOR OF THOSE
• 37:39
  JEWISH PEOPLE. NOW, ZECHARIAH 4 FOCUSES ON A VISION THAT THE
• 37:46
  PROPHET ZECHARIAH HAD DURING THIS TIME AND HE'S SPEAKING A
• 37:50
  MESSAGE TO ZERUBBABEL, THE PRINCE OR THE GOVERNOR OF JUDAH.
• 37:55
  LIKE I SAID, I'M KIND OF REPEATING MYSELF BECAUSE THERE'S
• 37:57
  SO MANY DIFFERENT DETAILS HERE. IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING IF
• 38:01
  YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE STORY. SO YOU MIGHT HEAR ME SAY
• 38:03
  SOMETHING TWICE OR IN A DIFFERENT FASHION. AND I'M DOING
• 38:07
  THAT ON PURPOSE. THE VISION THAT WE LOOK AT TONIGHT WILL REASSURE
• 38:11
  ZERUBBABEL AND THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL THAT GOD WILL EMPOWER
• 38:15
  THEM TO DO THE JOB THAT HE'S COMMISSIONED THEM TO DO. AND
• 38:18
  THAT'S REBUILDING THE TEMPLE. HE'S GOING TO ASSIST THEM IN THE
• 38:22
  COMPLETION OF THIS REBUILDING. AND THIS VISION DEPICTS A GOLDEN
• 38:27
  LAMP STAND WITH TWO OLIVE TREES. AND YOU'LL SEE IT'S A VIVID
• 38:32
  ILLUSTRATION OF HOW GOD SUPERNATURALLY PROVIDES FOR THE
• 38:37
  WORK OF THE MINISTRY BY USING THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE
• 38:42
  COMPLETION OF THE ASSIGNED WORK ON EARTH. NOW I WANT TO READ
• 38:47
  THIS PASSAGE. WE'VE KIND OF GIVEN SOME HISTORY TO IT.
• 38:50
  ZECHARIAH, YOU CAN READ ALONG, FOLLOW ME AS I READ THIS. I WANT
• 38:53
  TO READ IT OUT OF THE AMPLIFIED TONIGHT BECAUSE IT IS A LITTLE
• 38:55
  BIT COMPLICATED READING THESE VISIONS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT
• 38:59
  AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE. SO THIS IS ZECHARIAH 4:1-10 OUT OF THE
• 39:04
  AMPLIFIED BIBLE. “AND THE ANGEL WHO WAS SPEAKING WITH ME CAME
• 39:07
  BACK AND AWAKENED ME LIKE A MAN WHO IS AWAKENED OUT OF HIS
• 39:12
  SLEEP. AND HE SAID TO ME, "WHAT DO YOU SEE?" I SAID, "I SEE AND
• 39:17
  BEHOLD A LAMPSTAND ALL OF GOLD WITH ITS BOWL FOR OIL ON THE TOP
• 39:23
  OF IT AND ITS SEVEN LAMPS ON IT WITH SEVEN SPOUTS BELONGING TO
• 39:28
  EACH OF THE LAMPS WHICH ARE ON THE TOP OF IT. AND THERE ARE TWO
• 39:33
  OLIVE TREES BY IT, ONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOWL AND THE
• 39:36
  OTHERS ON THE LEFT SIDE, SUPPLYING IT CONTINUOUSLY WITH
• 39:41
  OIL. SO I ASKED THE ANGEL WHO WAS SPEAKING WITH ME, WHAT ARE
• 39:45
  THESE, MY LORD? THEN THE ANGEL WHO WAS SPEAKING WITH ME
• 39:49
  ANSWERED ME, DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THESE ARE? AND I SAID, NO,
• 39:53
  MY LORD. THEN HE SAID TO ME, NOW LISTEN TO THIS. THIS CONTINUOUS
• 39:59
  SUPPLY OF OIL IS THE WORD OF THE LORD TO ZERUBBABEL, THE PRINCE
• 40:02
  OF JUDAS, SAYING, "NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT,
• 40:08
  "OF WHOM THE OIL IS A SYMBOL," SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. WHAT ARE
• 40:13
  YOU, O GREAT MOUNTAIN OF OBSTACLES, BEFORE ZERUBBABEL,
• 40:17
  WHO WILL REBUILD THE TEMPLE? YOU WILL BECOME A PLAIN,
• 40:20
  INSIGNIFICANT, IN OTHER WORDS, AND HE WILL BRING OUT THE
• 40:25
  CAPSTONE OF THE NEW TEMPLE WITH LOUD SHOUTS OF GRACE, GRACE TO
• 40:30
  IT. ALSO THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO ME SAYING, THE HANDS OF
• 40:36
  ZERUBBABEL HAVE LAID THE FOUNDATIONS OF THIS HOUSE AND
• 40:39
  HIS HANDS WILL FINISH IT. THEN YOU WILL KNOW AND YOU'LL
• 40:43
  RECOGNIZE AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND FULLY THAT THE LORD OF HOSTS HAS
• 40:46
  SENT ME AS HIS MESSENGER TO YOU, "WHO WITH REASON DESPISES THE
• 40:51
  DAY OF SMALL THINGS "OR SMALL BEGINNINGS. "FOR THESE SEVEN
• 40:55
  EYES SHALL REJOICE "WHEN THEY SEE THE PLUMB LINE IN THE HAND
• 40:58
  OF ZERUBBABEL. "THEY ARE THE EYES OF THE LORD, "WHICH ROAM
• 41:01
  THROUGHOUT THE EARTH." AMEN. ZERUBBABEL WAS THE MAIN GUY IN
• 41:07
  CHARGE OF LEADING THIS EFFORT TO REBUILD THE TEMPLE. AND THERE
• 41:10
  WERE MANY, MANY OBSTACLES FOR ZERUBBABEL AND THE ISRAELI
• 41:14
  PEOPLE AS THEY FACED THIS JOB. THEY HAD TO DEAL WITH OPPOSITION
• 41:17
  FROM THE SAMARITANS AND OTHER GROUPS OF PEOPLE. THE JEWISH
• 41:20
  PEOPLE THEMSELVES WERE A LITTLE BIT DISCOURAGED DUE TO THE LACK
• 41:23
  OF RESOURCES THAT THEY HAD. AND THEY HAD A DILAPIDATED STATE OF
• 41:27
  AFFAIRS IN JERUSALEM. I MEAN, YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT OLD TEMPLE
• 41:31
  THAT YOU SAW THE PICTURE OF, SOLOMON'S TEMPLE, WAS LAYING IN
• 41:34
  RUINS. I MEAN, THINK OF THE WORK JUST TO GET IT CLEARED SO THAT
• 41:39
  THEY COULD BUILD A NEW TEMPLE. AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE MODERN DAY
• 41:42
  BULLDOZERS LIKE WE HAVE TO WORK WITH. I MEAN, IT WAS WORK. THESE
• 41:48
  JEWS HAD BEEN UNDER TREMENDOUS HARDSHIP IN BABYLON. AND NOW
• 41:52
  THEY HAD A MESS TO CLEAN UP AND A GIANT TASK TO REBUILD THE
• 41:55
  SECOND TEMPLE. THE PRIMARY OPPONENTS OF REBUILDING THE
• 41:59
  TEMPLE WERE THESE SAMARITANS. THEY ACTIVELY SOUGHT TO HINDER
• 42:04
  THE PROJECT, AND THEY TRIED TO HALT THE CONSTRUCTION. THESE
• 42:07
  SAMARITANS INITIALLY OFFERED TO HELP REBUILD THE TEMPLE. THEY
• 42:13
  OFFERED TO HELP ORIGINALLY, BUT THEN THEY TURNED HOSTILE TOWARDS
• 42:18
  ZERUBBABEL WHEN HE REJECTED THEIR OFFER TO HELP. SAMARITANS
• 42:23
  CAME TO ZERUBBABEL AND SAID, WE'LL HELP. ZERUBBABEL SAID, YOU
• 42:29
  KNOW WHAT? I THINK WE'RE GOING TO DO IT WITHOUT YOUR HELP. AND
• 42:33
  THEN THE SAMARITANS GOT MAD AND HOSTILE. ZERUBBABEL'S REFUSAL OF
• 42:39
  ALLOWING THEM TO HELP LED TO HOSTILITY. AND THESE SAMARITANS
• 42:43
  THEN DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO STOP THE CONSTRUCTION.
• 42:47
  REBUILDING THE TEMPLE WAS A MASSIVE EFFORT, AND IT WOULD
• 42:50
  HAVE BEEN TEMPTING FOR ZERUBBABEL TO ACCEPT ANY HELP HE
• 42:54
  COULD GET, BUT HE HAD A REASON FOR REFUSING THEIR HELP. HE
• 42:59
  WASN'T WILLING TO TAKE ANY SHORTCUTS AND ALLOW THOSE NOT
• 43:04
  FULLY DEVOTED TO GOD TO BE PART OF IT. THERE'S A GREAT LESSON IN
• 43:08
  THIS FOR US. THE SAMARITANS WERE NOT SERVING THE GOD OF ISRAEL.
• 43:14
  THEY WERE BASICALLY WICKED PEOPLE, I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY.
• 43:17
  THEY WEREN'T WORSHIPING THE GOD OF ISRAEL. THIS IS A GREAT
• 43:22
  LESSON FOR US HERE. INTEGRITY AND OBEDIENCE TO GOD ALWAYS
• 43:25
  PROVES TO BE THE BLESSED PATH. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY FOR
• 43:30
  ZERUBBABEL TO THINK, YOU KNOW WHAT, IF I GOT SOME FREE LABOR
• 43:33
  HERE, I BETTER USE THEM AND JUST LET THEM WORK. IT'D BE SO MUCH
• 43:38
  EASIER, A SHORTCUT. BUT HE KNEW THAT WAS NOT GOD'S PLAN. THE
• 43:43
  IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DECISION WASN'T AN EASY THING
• 43:47
  FOR ZERUBBABEL TO DEAL WITH. AND IN OUR OWN LIVES, WE'VE ALL HAD
• 43:51
  TO FACE DECISIONS LIKE THAT, I'M SURE, WHERE IT'S EASY TO
• 43:54
  SOMETIMES TAKE A SHORTCUT, BUT WE KNOW IT WOULDN'T BE PLEASING
• 43:57
  TO GOD. SO WE HAVE TO TAKE THE OBEDIENT PATH OF BLESSING. AMEN?
• 44:02
  COMPROMISING INTEGRITY OR TAKING A SHORTCUT FROM GOD'S DESIRED
• 44:06
  PATH IS ALWAYS A BAD DECISION. SO WHAT WE SEE FROM THIS
• 44:11
  SCRIPTURE PASSAGE TONIGHT IS IF WE FOLLOW GOD'S PLAN AND DO THE
• 44:13
  THINGS GOD'S WAY, THERE WILL BE BLESSING. AND WHEN GOD HAS A
• 44:19
  PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH, IT WILL GET DONE. SO GOD GIVES THE PROPHET
• 44:23
  ZECHARIAH THIS VISION OF A LAMPSTAND CONNECTED TO TWO OLIVE
• 44:28
  TREES. SO THERE YOU SEE A LAMPSTAND AND THERE'S AN OLIVE
• 44:33
  TREE ON BOTH SIDES AND IT'S CONNECTED LIKE WITH TUBES RIGHT
• 44:39
  TO THE LAMPSTAND. IT'S WHAT ZECHARIAH IS SEEING HERE IS A
• 44:43
  SELF-FILLING LAMPSTAND BECAUSE THIS LAMPSTAND IS CONNECTED
• 44:48
  DIRECTLY TO THE SOURCE, THE OLIVE TREES. LET ME READ VERSE 6
• 44:54
  AGAIN TO YOU. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT UP UNLESS YOU GOT IT
• 44:57
  RIGHT THERE BUT IT SAYS, "THEN HE SAID TO ME, "THIS CONTINUOUS
• 45:00
  SUPPLY OF OIL "IS THE WORD OF THE LORD TO ZERUBBABEL, "SAYING,
• 45:05
  NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER, "BUT BY MY SPIRIT, OF WHOM THE OIL IS
• 45:10
  A SYMBOL, "SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. "THE LAMPS WERE FILLED
• 45:14
  WITH SPECIALLY PREPARED OLIVE OIL. "THE LAMPSTAND THAT
• 45:17
  ZECHARIAH SAW IN THIS VISION "WAS FED DIRECTLY FROM THESE
• 45:21
  TREES." AND THERE'S ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATION HERE THAT
• 45:24
  I WANNA TALK ABOUT FOR A MINUTE. "FILLING THIS LAMPSTAND WAS
• 45:27
  MANUAL LABOR "THAT HAD TO BE DONE AGAIN AND AGAIN, DAY IN AND
• 45:31
  DAY OUT. "ONE OF THE MORE TEDIOUS DUTIES OF THE TEMPLE
• 45:35
  SERVANTS "OR THE PRIESTS WAS THE CONSTANT CARE "OF THE LAMPSTAND
• 45:39
  IN THE TEMPLE. "THEY HAD TO BE CONTINUALLY CLEANED OF SOOT.
• 45:45
  "THEY HAD TO BE REFILLED WITH OIL, "AND THEIR WICKS HAD TO BE
• 45:48
  MAINTAINED. BUT HERE GOD GIVES ZECHARIAH THIS PICTURE OF A
• 45:52
  SELF-OPERATING, AUTOMATICALLY REFILLING, AUTOMATICALLY
• 45:58
  REFILLING, THAT'S KIND OF HARD TO SAY, LAMP. IT'S CONSTANTLY
• 46:02
  CONNECTED TO THIS SOURCE OF PURE OLIVE OIL. IT'S A CONFIRMING
• 46:06
  MESSAGE FROM GOD TO ZERUBBABEL THAT THIS WORK WOULD BE EASY
• 46:10
  IF THEY WOULD JUST TRUST IN HIM. NOW TO FULLY UNDERSTAND
• 46:15
  THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT GOD'S SHOWING ZECHARIAH, WE NEED TO
• 46:18
  UNDERSTAND WHAT'S INVOLVED IN KEEPING THAT LAMPSTAND
• 46:21
  OPERATING. THE LAMPSTAND, OR THE MENORAH, IN THE JEWISH TEMPLE
• 46:26
  WAS INTENDED TO BE BURNED CONTINUOUSLY EVERY NIGHT. FROM
• 46:31
  EVENING ALL THE WAY TO THE BREAK OF DAY, THAT LAMPSTAND WAS NOT
• 46:36
  TO BE EXTINGUISHED. EXODUS 20:20-21 EXPLAINS, "THIS WAS
• 46:42
  DONE AS A SYMBOL OF GOD'S PRESENCE "AND LIGHT AMONG HIS
• 46:46
  PEOPLE. "THE PRIESTS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE
• 46:50
  LAMPS, "ENSURING THEY WERE FILLED WITH PURE OIL "AND THE
• 46:52
  WICKS WERE PROPERLY TRIMMED. "AND THIS WORK WAS GRUELING AND
• 46:56
  IT WAS EXPENSIVE WORK." DID YOU KNOW IT TAKES ABOUT 40 POUNDS OF
• 47:01
  OLIVES JUST TO MAKE A HALF A GALLON OF OLIVE OIL? 40 POUNDS
• 47:06
  OF OLIVES IS A LOT OF OLIVES. THAT'S A LOT OF OLIVES. OLIVES
• 47:10
  AREN'T THAT HEAVY, SO YOU THINK ABOUT THE MASS BULK THAT IT
• 47:13
  WOULD TAKE TO GET 40 POUNDS. AND THAT'S A WEEK'S WORTH OF
• 47:17
  OPERATING THAT LAMP IN THE TEMPLE. THESE OLIVES WERE
• 47:22
  HAND-PICKED AND ALLOWED TO FERMENT, AND THEN THEY WERE
• 47:25
  CRUSHED TO MAKE THE OIL. SO THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS.
• 47:28
  LET'S PUT THAT PICTURE UP THERE. THERE THEY ARE, CRUSHING OLIVES
• 47:32
  JUST TO MAKE THE OLIVE OIL. THINK OF CRUSHING 40 POUNDS OF
• 47:36
  OLIVES EVERY WEEK TO MAKE ENOUGH OIL JUST TO RUN THAT ONE LAMP
• 47:40
  STAND IN THE TEMPLE. IN THIS VISION OF THE TWO OLIVE TREES
• 47:44
  CONNECTED AND AUTOMATICALLY SUPPLYING OIL TO THE LAMP, ALL
• 47:48
  OF THE HARD WORK OF PICKING THE OLIVES, LETTING THEM FERMENT,
• 47:54
  CRUSHING THEM, GETTING THAT PURE OIL REFINED ENOUGH TO GO IN AND
• 47:59
  THEN FILLING IT MANUALLY IN THOSE LAMPS, ALL THAT WAS
• 48:02
  ELIMINATED BECAUSE THEY WERE CONNECTED TO THE TWO OLIVE
• 48:06
  TREES. IT WAS AN AUTOMATIC PROCESS THAT GOD WAS GIVING THE
• 48:10
  VISION OF. THINK ABOUT IT IN OUR TERMS TODAY. HAVING AN
• 48:14
  AUTOMATICALLY REFILLED LAMP STAND COULD BE COMPARED TO HAND
• 48:18
  WASHING CLOTHES LIKE THEY DID IN THE 1800S VERSUS HAVING AN
• 48:21
  AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINE TODAY. IN THE 1800S, HAND WASHING
• 48:25
  CLOTHES WAS A LABORIOUS PROCESS AND IT INVOLVED A LOT OF STEPS.
• 48:29
  CLOTHES WERE TYPICALLY SOAKED OVERNIGHT. THEY WERE SCRUBBED ON
• 48:33
  A WASHBOARD, ONE PIECE OF CLOTHING AT A TIME, AND THEN
• 48:37
  THEY WERE USUALLY BOILED IN A COPPER POT. THEN THEY HAD TO BE
• 48:40
  RINSED, AND THEN THEY HAD TO BE WRUNG OUT. AND FINALLY, THEY
• 48:45
  WOULD HANG THEM TO DRY ON A CLOTHESLINE. TODAY, IT'S MUCH
• 48:49
  EASIER. WE CAN THROW OUR LOAD IN THE MACHINE, ADD SOME DETERGENT,
• 48:52
  PRESS A BUTTON, AND IT DOES IT FOR US. IT SOAKS THEM IF YOU
• 48:56
  WANT IT TO. IT SCRUBS THEM. IT RINSES. AND IT SPINS THE EXCESS
• 49:00
  WATER OUT. THAT'S THE TYPE OF THING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
• 49:05
  HERE, JUST TO SEE IN YOUR TERMS WHAT ZERUBBABEL WAS SEEING IN
• 49:08
  THIS VISION, OR NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND FROM THE VISION OF
• 49:13
  ZECHARIAH, WAS THAT THIS WAS AN AUTOMATIC PROCESS, AND GOD WAS
• 49:17
  TRYING TO DISPLAY IT IN TERMS THAT THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND TO
• 49:20
  SAY, "IT'S GOING TO BE EASY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT." IT'S AN
• 49:27
  ENCOURAGING WORD TO GOD'S PEOPLE AND ZERUBBABEL CONCERNING THE
• 49:30
  REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE. "NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER, BUT BY MY
• 49:35
  SPIRIT," SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. THE VISIONS AND ASSURANCE THAT
• 49:40
  DESPITE OBSTACLES AND TRIALS AND SETBACKS, WHICH ARE REFERRED TO
• 49:44
  IN THAT PASSAGE AS A GREAT MOUNTAIN, THE TEMPLE WAS GOING
• 49:47
  TO BE COMPLETED. THE PEOPLE OF GOD WERE FEELING HELPLESS TO
• 49:51
  REBUILD THE TEMPLE, AND THIS VISION WAS A GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT
• 49:54
  TO THEM THAT HIS POWER WOULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE. AND EVEN
• 49:58
  THOUGH THE RESISTANCE FROM THE ENEMIES WAS EVIDENT, IT WOULD
• 50:01
  COME TO PASS. AMEN? THE PASSAGE CONTAINS SO MUCH, BUT I WANT TO
• 50:05
  BRING OUT FOUR POINTS TONIGHT THAT I THINK ARE ENCOURAGING TO
• 50:08
  REMEMBER FROM THE PASSAGE. NUMBER ONE, GOD'S SPIRIT IS OUR
• 50:13
  SOURCE OF POWER. SAY THAT WITH ME. GOD'S SPIRIT IS OUR SOURCE
• 50:18
  OF POWER. NUMBER TWO, NO OBSTACLES WILL THWART GOD'S
• 50:22
  PLAN. NO OBSTACLES WILL THWART GOD'S PLAN. AND THEN NUMBER
• 50:30
  THREE, THE CAPSTONE AND COMPLETION IS EVIDENCE OF GOD'S
• 50:33
  GRACE. AND NUMBER FOUR, DO NOT DESPISE SMALL BEGINNINGS. SO
• 50:37
  NUMBER ONE, GOD'S SPIRIT IS OUR SOURCE OF POWER. THAT CENTRAL
• 50:41
  VERSE THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT, IT'S ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH HIS SPIRIT,
• 50:45
  NOT BY HUMAN STRENGTH OR HUMAN RESOURCES. THE WORK OF THE HOLY
• 50:49
  SPIRIT IS HOW THE TEMPLE WAS REBUILT. ANY SIGNIFICANT
• 50:53
  ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR GOD COMES BY AND THROUGH THE POWER OF THE
• 50:57
  HOLY SPIRIT WORKING. NO AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL, MENTAL, OR MORAL
• 51:00
  STRENGTH ON ITS OWN CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING OF ETERNAL
• 51:04
  VALUE. NOW, HOW OFTEN DO WE FIND OURSELVES TRYING TO DO THINGS
• 51:08
  FOR OURSELVES OR LOOKING TO SEE WHAT OTHERS CAN DO TO HELP US?
• 51:12
  IN EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES, FROM DEALING WITH OUR ASSIGNMENTS
• 51:16
  FROM HEAVEN, OR FOR DEALING WITH OUR OWN FAMILY AND FRIENDS, OR
• 51:20
  OUR MEDICAL NEEDS, OUR HEALTH, OUR EDUCATION, MAYBE OUR JOB,
• 51:25
  OUR WORK, YOU NAME IT, WE'VE ALL BEEN GUILTY OF TRYING TO HANDLE
• 51:29
  PROBLEMS ON OUR OWN. THE BIBLE REMINDS US OVER AND OVER TO STOP
• 51:34
  TRYING TO DO IT ON OUR OWN. PSALM 33:16, "THE BEST EQUIPPED
• 51:40
  ARMY CANNOT SAVE A KING, NOR IS GREAT STRENGTH ENOUGH TO SAVE A
• 51:45
  WARRIOR. DON'T COUNT ON YOUR WAR HORSE TO GIVE YOU VICTORY, FOR
• 51:50
  IT'S ALL ITS STRENGTH, IT CANNOT SAVE YOU. BUT THE LORD WATCHES
• 51:56
  OVER THOSE WHO FEAR HIM, THOSE WHO RELY ON HIS UNFAILING LOVE,
• 52:02
  SAYING RELY ON GOD, NOT OUR OWN PHYSICAL STRENGTH OR OUR OWN
• 52:05
  NATURAL ABILITY. GOD USES THAT, BUT WE CAN'T RELY AND TRUST IN
• 52:10
  IT. NUMBER TWO, NO OBSTACLE WILL THWART GOD'S PLAN. THE GREAT
• 52:14
  MOUNTAIN IN VERSE 7, IT SAYS, WHAT ARE YOU, GREAT MOUNTAIN?
• 52:18
  THAT REPRESENTS THOSE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES THAT
• 52:22
  ZERUBBABEL FACED IN REBUILDING THE TEMPLE. GOD ASSURED HIM THAT
• 52:27
  HE WOULD LEVEL THOSE OBSTACLES BY THE POWER OF HIS SPIRIT. AND
• 52:32
  GOD'S LEVELED THE OBSTACLES TIME AND TIME AGAIN FOR LORD OF HOSTS
• 52:35
  CHURCH. FOR PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA, WE'VE SEEN THAT TIME AND
• 52:39
  TIME AGAIN IN THIS MINISTRY. THEY HAD OBSTACLES. THEY HAD
• 52:43
  MOUNTAINS. THEY HAD THINGS THAT WERE BEFORE THEM THAT LOOKED
• 52:45
  IMPOSSIBLE. BUT IT CAME TO PASS BECAUSE OF TRUSTING IN THE HOLY
• 52:51
  SPIRIT AT WORK. AND THAT'S ANOTHER REASON FOR CONNECTION
• 52:56
  AND JOINING IN THE VISION OF YOUR PASTOR. YOU RECEIVE AND YOU
• 53:01
  COME UNDER A DIVINE COVERING IN THE SPIRIT WHEN YOU JOIN IN WITH
• 53:06
  YOUR PASTOR AND SUPPORT HIM. WHEN YOU BECOME A MEMBER OR AN
• 53:09
  E-MEMBER, YOU COME UNDER THAT COVERING BECAUSE THEY PRAY FOR
• 53:13
  THOSE MEMBERS AND E-MEMBERS DAILY. AND THERE'S SOMETHING
• 53:19
  ABOUT IT. PSALM 92:13 SAYS, "THOSE WHO ARE PLANTED "IN THE
• 53:22
  HOUSE OF THE LORD SHALL FLOURISH "IN THE COURTS OF OUR GOD."
• 53:26
  HALLELUJAH. IT'S CONNECTED TO LONG LIFE, BY THE WAY. NUMBER
• 53:31
  THREE, THE CAPSTONE AND COMPLETION IS EVIDENCE OF GOD'S
• 53:35
  GRACE. VERSE 7 SPEAKS OF THE HEADSTONE OR THE CAPSTONE, WHICH
• 53:39
  SYMBOLIZES THE COMPLETION OF THE TEMPLE. IT SAYS, "AND HE WILL
• 53:42
  BRING OUT THE CAPSTONE "OF THE NEW TEMPLE WITH LOUD SHOUTS OF
• 53:46
  GRACE, GRACE TO IT." THIS SIGNIFIES THAT GOD WILL NOT ONLY
• 53:49
  START A WORK, BUT HE CAN ALSO BRING IT TO A SUCCESSFUL
• 53:53
  CONCLUSION BY HIS GRACE, AND HE'LL DO THAT AT LORD OF HOSTS
• 53:58
  AND IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL LIVES. IT'LL ALL END WELL WHEN WE SERVE
• 54:03
  GOD AND FOLLOW HIS PLAN, AMEN? AND THEN NUMBER FOUR, DO NOT
• 54:08
  DESPISE SMALL BEGINNINGS. VERSE 10 READS, "WHO DESPISES THE DAY
• 54:13
  OF SMALL THINGS "OR SMALL BEGINNINGS?" THAT'S AN
• 54:16
  ENCOURAGEMENT NOT TO DESPISE THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS. IT'S A
• 54:21
  REMINDER THAT EVEN SEEMINGLY INSIGNIFICANT BEGINNINGS CAN
• 54:27
  LEAD TO GREAT THINGS WHEN WE'RE EMPOWERED BY GOD. YOU KNOW, YOU
• 54:32
  MAY THINK THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE TRAINING OR YOU DON'T HAVE
• 54:34
  THE QUALIFICATIONS OR YOU DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY OR YOU DON'T
• 54:37
  HAVE THE GIFTING TO DO WHAT GOD'S CALLED YOU TO DO, BUT
• 54:40
  REMEMBER, HE'S THE GREAT EQUALIZER. WHAT YOU CAN'T DO, HE
• 54:45
  CAN MAKE UP FOR YOU. HALLELUJAH. YOU MAY NOT BE UP TO THE TASK IN
• 54:52
  YOUR NATURAL ABILITY, BUT GOD WILL INTERVENE AND MAKE YOU
• 54:55
  EQUAL TO THE TASK THAT HE'S CALLED YOU TO ACHIEVE. TAKE
• 54:59
  HEART. YOU MAY BE WORKING WITH SMALL BEGINNINGS, BUT LISTEN TO
• 55:04
  ME, FRIENDS. THE GREATEST EVENT IN HUMAN HISTORY BEGAN WITH A
• 55:10
  BABY BORN IN A BARN. THE GREATEST EVENT IN HUMAN HISTORY
• 55:16
  BEGAN WITH A BABY THAT WAS BORN IN A BARN. WHO WOULD HAVE EVER
• 55:19
  THOUGHT OF THAT? WHO COULD HAVE CONCEIVED THAT? GOD IS A MASTER
• 55:23
  AT ACCOMPLISHING HIS PURPOSES WITH THE LITTLE THAT WE HAVE. HE
• 55:27
  CAN TAKE THE LITTLE AND MAKE IT GREAT. BUT IT DOESN'T GET DONE
• 55:31
  BY HUMAN STRENGTH AND HUMAN INGENUITY. IT GETS DONE BY THE
• 55:38
  FLOW OF THE SPIRIT. JESUS IS OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE. EVERYTHING
• 55:43
  JESUS DID WAS NOT BY HIS OWN POWER OR STRENGTH. THAT WAS
• 55:47
  JESUS. THE WORD TELLS US THAT. DID YOU KNOW THAT? IT WASN'T BY
• 55:51
  HIS POWER OR STRENGTH. JESUS DEPENDED ON THE SPIRIT. LET'S
• 55:56
  LOOK AT LUKE 4:18-19. IT SAYS, "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON
• 56:03
  ME, FOR HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO BRING THE GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR.
• 56:06
  LORD, HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM THAT CAPTIVES WILL BE RELEASED,
• 56:10
  THAT THE BLIND WILL SEE, THAT THE OPPRESSED WILL BE SET FREE,
• 56:15
  AND THAT THE TIME OF THE LORD'S FAVOR HAS COME. SO THE SPIRIT OF
• 56:21
  GOD ANOINTED JESUS TO DO THOSE GREAT WORKS. AND HE CAN DO THE
• 56:26
  SAME FOR US. HE DOES. AMEN? MOST OF OUR HEROES IN THE BIBLE HAD
• 56:32
  SMALL, HUMBLE BEGINNINGS. MANY HAD NO, IN FACT, MOST OF THEM
• 56:36
  HAD NO IDEA THAT THEY WOULD ACCOMPLISH THE GREAT THINGS FOR
• 56:39
  GOD THAT THEY DID. THEY HAD NO IDEA. AND TODAY, JUST LIKE IT
• 56:43
  WAS WHEN ISRAEL WAS REBUILDING THE TEMPLE, THERE ARE MANY
• 56:46
  SUBSTITUTES THAT MAN ATTEMPTS TO USE. NOTHING IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR
• 56:51
  THE POWER OF THE MIGHTY HOLY SPIRIT IN DOING THE WORK OF THE
• 56:54
  MINISTRY. SOME TRUST IN THE POWER OF MONEY, SOME TRUST IN
• 56:59
  EDUCATION, SOME TRUST IN GOVERNMENT, SOME TRUST IN THEIR
• 57:04
  DENOMINATION. BUT NONE OF THOSE THINGS OR NATURAL ABILITIES
• 57:09
  SHOULD BE DESPISED. GOD CAN USE THEM. HE CAN WORK THROUGH THEM.
• 57:14
  HE CAN USE THE SKILLS. I MEAN, HE CREATED US WITH SKILLS AND
• 57:17
  WISDOM, AND HE WANTS US TO USE OUR MINDS AND OUR ABILITIES AND
• 57:20
  OUR TALENTS, BUT THEY'RE WORTHLESS UNLESS THEY'RE
• 57:24
  ACCOMPANIED BY GOD'S POWER. MYLON LEFEVRE USED TO SAY, "TO
• 57:31
  HAVE GOD'S SUPERNATURAL POWER OPERATE IN YOUR LIFE, YOU NEED
• 57:35
  BOTH THE SUPER, WHICH IS GOD'S MIRACULOUSLY WORKING POWER IN
• 57:40
  YOUR LIFE, PLUS THE NATURAL, WHICH IS US WORKING TOGETHER
• 57:43
  WITH HIM. WE'RE WORKERS TOGETHER WITH HIM. AND THEN WHEN YOU
• 57:47
  COMBINE THE SUPER AND THE NATURAL, YOU HAVE THE
• 57:50
  SUPERNATURAL, WILLIE. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED WORKING IN OUR
• 57:53
  LIVES, THE SUPERNATURAL. WE CAN'T JUST DO IT ALL ON OUR OWN.
• 57:57
  HALLELUJAH. PRAISE GOD. THE HOLY SPIRIT'S THE THIRD PART OF THE
• 58:04
  TRINITY AND HAS HAD DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN THE CREATION AND
• 58:09
  THE REDEMPTION OF ALL THINGS. ACCORDING TO GENESIS 1:21, “IT
• 58:12
  WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT BROODED UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP, AND
• 58:16
  AT THE COMMAND OF GOD, HE RESTORED THE EARTH TO A
• 58:19
  CONDITION THAT WAS INHABITABLE FOR ALL OF CREATION.” LUKE 1:35
• 58:25
  TELLS US “THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME UPON MARY, AND BY THE HOLY
• 58:29
  SPIRIT, SHE CONCEIVED THE SON OF GOD.” HALLELUJAH. ONLY THE HOLY
• 58:35
  SPIRIT CAN CONVICT THE WORLD OF SIN, OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
• 58:38
  JUDGMENT. ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN QUICKEN A DEAD SOUL TO
• 58:42
  NEWNESS OF LIFE. ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BRING THE ANOINTING
• 58:46
  OF GOD WITH THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL TO WIN SOULS FOR CHRIST.
• 58:50
  ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE THE COMFORTER FOR A TROUBLED SPIRIT.
• 58:55
  ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN MAKE INTERCESSION FOR US. ONLY THE
• 58:59
  HOLY SPIRIT CAN HEAL A SICK BODY OR BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE.
• 59:03
  ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN GIVE SUPERNATURAL WISDOM TO US WHEN
• 59:07
  WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND AND NAVIGATE SPIRITUAL TRUTHS OR WE
• 59:11
  NEED TO DISCERN GOD'S WILL OR WE NEED TO EFFECTIVELY MINISTER TO
• 59:15
  OTHERS. WE NEED GOD'S HELP TO DO THAT. THAT'S WHAT THE HOLY
• 59:18
  SPIRIT DOES. THE ANOINTING BREAKS THE YOKE AND THE
• 59:22
  ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE CHURCH'S POWER SOURCE.
• 59:26
  ZECHARIAH 4:6, "NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER, "BUT BY MY SPIRIT,"
• 59:31
  SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. SO HOW DO WE DEPEND UPON THE SPIRIT? AS
• 59:35
  I START TO WIND DOWN HERE, HOW DO WE DO THIS? HOW DO WE LET GO
• 59:40
  AND LET GOD? WHAT DO YOU AND I NEED TO DO TO COME TO THE PLACE
• 59:46
  THAT WE'RE FULLY RELIANT ON THE HOLY SPIRIT TO OPERATE IN AND
• 59:50
  THROUGH OUR LIVES? HOW DO WE PUT ZECHARIAH 4.6 INTO PRACTICE IN
• 59:54
  OUR DAILY LIVES? LET'S JUST LOOK AT THREE POINTS HERE. NUMBER
• 59:58
  ONE, WELL, LET ME READ THE THREE TO YOU FIRST OF ALL HERE, AND
• 1:00:02
  THEN WE'LL JUST LOOK AT THEM QUICKLY. ACTIVELY PURSUE
• 1:00:04
  FELLOWSHIP AND COMMUNION WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. ALLOW THE HOLY
• 1:00:08
  SPIRIT ACCESS IN YOUR LIFE, AND THEN SEEK GOD'S WILL,
• 1:00:12
  INVOLVEMENT OF HOLY SPIRIT, AND HOLY SPIRIT WISDOM CONTINUOUSLY.
• 1:00:17
  NUMBER ONE, ACTIVELY PURSUE FELLOWSHIP AND COMMUNION WITH
• 1:00:21
  THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE BIBLE STATES THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 1:00:24
  RESIDES WITHIN EVERY BELIEVER. IN OTHER WORDS, ONCE, WELL,
• 1:00:29
  FIRST OF ALL, THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKS ON UNBELIEVERS. BUT WHEN A
• 1:00:33
  PERSON GETS SAVED, THEY HAVE A MEASURE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, OR
• 1:00:37
  THEY WOULDN'T BE SAVED. ALL BELIEVERS POSSESS THE HOLY
• 1:00:41
  SPIRIT. IT'S JUST NOT THE FULLNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 1:00:45
  ROMANS 8:9 TELLS US THAT. IF YOU WANT TO ARGUE WITH ME, I'LL
• 1:00:47
  GIVE YOU A SCRIPTURE FOR IT. IT SAYS, "BUT YOU ARE
• 1:00:51
  NOT CONTROLLED BY YOUR SINFUL NATURE. YOU ARE CONTROLLED BY
• 1:00:55
  THE SPIRIT IF YOU HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVING IN YOU.
• 1:00:58
  THIS IS SPEAKING OF CHRISTIANS. AND THEN HE SAYS, "AND REMEMBER
• 1:01:01
  THAT THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST LIVING IN THEM
• 1:01:05
  DO NOT BELONG TO HIM AT ALL." SO YOU CANNOT BE A BELIEVER AND NOT
• 1:01:11
  HAVE A MEASURE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. EVEN BAPTISTS HAVE A
• 1:01:16
  MEASURE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, PASTOR KEITH.
• 1:01:18
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:01:24
  THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A SUBSEQUENT
• 1:01:27
  GIFT THAT BELIEVERS EXPERIENCE. THE
• 1:01:30
  BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A DIRECT CONNECTION
• 1:01:32
  TO THE POWER OF GOD. ACTS 1:8 TELLS US THAT, "BUT YOU
• 1:01:37
  SHALL RECEIVE POWER. AFTER THAT, THE HOLY GHOST HAS COME UPON
• 1:01:41
  YOU." IT'S A POWER GIFT, JANET. IT GIVES YOU POWER. IT CHANGES
• 1:01:45
  YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE
• 1:01:50
  POWER GIFT COMES WITH AN EVIDENCE. WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT,
• 1:01:54
  WE BELIEVE THE INITIAL EVIDENCE OF RECEIVING THE BAPTISM OF THE
• 1:01:58
  HOLY SPIRIT IS SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES. EVERY BORN AGAIN CHILD
• 1:02:03
  OF GOD IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 1:02:08
  IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, YOU'VE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST YOUR
• 1:02:11
  SAVIOR, YOU'VE MADE HIM THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE, THEN YOU ARE
• 1:02:14
  ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. HALLELUJAH.
• 1:02:19
  RECEIVING THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE TIME THAT YOU
• 1:02:23
  CAN RECEIVE THAT TANGIBLE POWER OF GOD WORKING IN YOUR LIFE. AND
• 1:02:28
  THEN THE GIFT OF TONGUES, THERE'S MANY THINGS THAT COME
• 1:02:30
  ALONG WITH THAT, BUT IT'LL STRENGTHEN YOU SPIRITUALLY,
• 1:02:33
  IT'LL BUILD YOUR FAITH, IT'LL HELP YOU PRAY THE WILL OF GOD,
• 1:02:36
  AND IT OPENS THE DOOR TO OTHER GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT. NUMBER TWO,
• 1:02:41
  ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT ACCESS IN YOUR LIFE. EPHESIANS 5:8 TELLS
• 1:02:46
  US NOT TO BE DRUNK WITH ALCOHOL, BUT BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT.
• 1:02:50
  AND AS BELIEVERS, WE NEVER WANT TO HINDER THE WORK OF THE HOLY
• 1:02:52
  SPIRIT BY IGNORING HIS PROMPTINGS OR HIS INFLUENCE. WE
• 1:02:58
  HAVE TO REALIZE THAT GOD NEVER OVERRIDES MAN'S FREE WILL. JUST
• 1:03:04
  LIKE HE DIDN'T WHEN YOU DECIDED TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN. YOU HAD
• 1:03:07
  TO MAKE THE DECISION TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN. GOD DIDN'T FORCE YOU
• 1:03:11
  TO GET SAVED. YOU MADE THE DECISION WITH YOUR OWN WILL. AND
• 1:03:16
  HE DOES THE SAME THING WITH CHRISTIANS. HE ALLOWS YOU TO BE
• 1:03:20
  AS FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT AS YOU WANT TO BE. YOU HAVE A DECISION.
• 1:03:26
  YOU CAN EVEN RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SPEAK
• 1:03:29
  WITH TONGUES AND STILL NOT BE FILLED TO THE PLACE THAT GOD
• 1:03:33
  WANTS YOU TO. YOU CAN STILL BE FILLED TO A GREATER EXTENT EVEN
• 1:03:40
  AFTER RECEIVING THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. AS YOU DESIRE
• 1:03:44
  MORE, HE GIVES YOU MORE. AS YOU WALK MORE IN HIS WILL, AS YOU
• 1:03:48
  RECEIVE MORE, YOU HAVE ROOM TO RECEIVE MORE AND YOU CAN
• 1:03:52
  CONTINUE TO GROW IN THAT AREA. SOMEONE THAT'S JUST NEWLY SAVED
• 1:03:58
  AND THEN MAYBE NEWLY BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT GONNA BE
• 1:04:01
  AS STRONG IN THE SPIRIT AS SOMEONE THAT'S WALKED WITH GOD
• 1:04:04
  FOR 50 YEARS AND BEEN FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT FOR 50 YEARS.
• 1:04:08
  WE'RE ALL AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. BUT NEVER IGNORE HOLY SPIRIT
• 1:04:15
  CONVICTION. WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTS US OF A SIN,
• 1:04:18
  IMMEDIATELY REPENT SO YOUR CONSCIENCE IS NOT HARDENED. MANY
• 1:04:23
  PEOPLE THINK OF HARDENED CRIMINALS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
• 1:04:25
  SOMEONE WITH A HARDENED OR A SEARED CONSCIENCE. BUT EVEN
• 1:04:31
  WELL-MEANING CHRISTIANS CAN SEAR THEIR CONSCIENCE OVER TIME.
• 1:04:35
  PASTOR HANK EVEN TALKED ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT. HE REFERRED
• 1:04:38
  TO IT, MAYBE HE DIDN'T CALL IT THAT, BUT HE TALKED ABOUT THE
• 1:04:40
  THINGS THAT YOU LET INTO YOUR LIFE AND LISTENING TO SECULAR
• 1:04:46
  THINGS ALL THE TIME AND JUST FILLING YOUR LIFE WITH SECULAR
• 1:04:48
  THINGS AND SPENDING ALL THE TIME ON FACEBOOK AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND
• 1:04:54
  FILLING YOUR LIFE WITH THAT INSTEAD OF FILLING IT WITH THE
• 1:04:57
  THINGS OF GOD, THAT CAN SEAR YOUR CONSCIENCE. IT CAN CAUSE
• 1:05:03
  YOU TO WALK THE WRONG WAY AND GET INVOLVED IN THINGS THAT YOU
• 1:05:07
  SHOULDN'T INSTEAD OF PULLING TOWARDS GOD AND THE THINGS THAT
• 1:05:10
  HE WANTS US TO BE INVOLVED IN. PAUL SPOKE OF THOSE THAT WERE
• 1:05:14
  SEARED IN THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE AS WITH A BRANDING IRON IN 1
• 1:05:18
  TIMOTHY 4:2, "AND THOSE WHO, BECAUSE OF THE HARDNESS OF THEIR
• 1:05:21
  HEART, HAVE BECOME CALLOUS," EPHESIANS 4:18-19. SO THE SEARED
• 1:05:27
  CONSCIENCE AND THE HARDENED CALLOUS HEART BOTH DESCRIBE THE
• 1:05:31
  SAME CONDITION. WE WERE CREATED BY GOD WITH UNIQUE AND INTRINSIC
• 1:05:38
  FACULTY THAT GIVES US A KIND OF THIRD-PERSON PERSPECTIVE ON THE
• 1:05:42
  RIGHT OR WRONG ACTIONS THAT WE TAKE. IT'S A SECRET INNER VOICE
• 1:05:46
  OF THE LORD SPEAKING TO US. IN THE PHYSICAL REALM, THE
• 1:05:49
  CONSCIENCE IS COMPARED TO THE HUMAN NERVOUS SYSTEM. IF I TAKE
• 1:05:54
  A KNIFE AND CUT MY ARM, I'LL FEEL PAIN. AND THAT'S A GOOD
• 1:06:00
  THING BECAUSE THAT PAIN TELLS ME, OH, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
• 1:06:04
  WITH MY ARM, AS IF I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT I'D CUT MYSELF.
• 1:06:06
  THAT WASN'T THE BEST ILLUSTRATION, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT
• 1:06:08
  I'M SAYING. WHEN YOU GET HURT AND YOU FEEL PAIN, THAT'S YOUR
• 1:06:13
  BODY'S ALARM SYSTEM TO YOU SAYING THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG,
• 1:06:16
  YOU NEED TO TEND TO IT, YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF IT. THERE'S SOME
• 1:06:20
  THROBBING PAIN THERE. LIKEWISE, WHEN A PERSON SINS, THE HUMAN
• 1:06:27
  SOUL HAS A WARNING SYSTEM THAT SOUNDS AN ALARM BECAUSE OF OUR
• 1:06:30
  ACTIONS. THE SOUL ALARM SOUNDS OUT, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, THERE'S
• 1:06:36
  SOMETHING WRONG HERE. YOU DID SOMETHING THAT'S GRIEVING THE
• 1:06:41
  HOLY SPIRIT. AND YOU DON'T WANT TO DISREGARD THAT BECAUSE THE
• 1:06:47
  MORE YOU DISREGARD IT, YOU BECOME MORE HARDENED TO IT. AND
• 1:06:52
  THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS, YOU MAY NOT EVEN HEAR THE VOICE. SO
• 1:06:56
  STAY SENSITIVE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. HOW DO YOU DO THAT? YOU
• 1:07:00
  JUST ASK GOD TO HELP YOU TO BE SENSITIVE, TO RECEIVE, THAT YOU
• 1:07:05
  HAVE EARS TO HEAR AND NEVER OFFEND HIM. HALLELUJAH. THE HOLY
• 1:07:15
  SPIRIT IS SO PRECIOUS. THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS, IF WE LISTEN AND
• 1:07:20
  TAKE HEED TO THE ALARM, WE CAN REPENT, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH
• 1:07:24
  A CLEAR CONSCIENCE. YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT JUST BE THAT YOU SAID A
• 1:07:26
  HARSH WORD TO YOUR WIFE OR YOUR HUSBAND, AND THEN YOU FEEL KIND
• 1:07:30
  OF BAD ABOUT IT, AND YOU THINK, "OH, I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE
• 1:07:32
  THAT." WELL, YOU CAN REPENT AND ASK FOR HER FORGIVENESS OR HIS
• 1:07:36
  FORGIVENESS AND MOVE FORWARD. BUT THEN YOU'VE LEARNED
• 1:07:40
  SOMETHING, AND THE NEXT TIME YOU PROBABLY WON'T DO IT AS QUICKLY.
• 1:07:43
  BUT IF YOU JUST HARDEN YOURSELF AND SAY, "WELL, SHE DESERVED
• 1:07:45
  THAT. "I KNOW THAT I FEEL KIND OF GUILTY FOR DOING IT, "BUT SHE
• 1:07:48
  DESERVED ME YELLING AT HER." THAT DOESN'T SOLVE ANYTHING. IT
• 1:07:53
  JUST MAKES YOU MORE HEARTENED. THAT WASN'T IN MY MESSAGE, BY
• 1:07:57
  THE WAY, PASTOR ANTHONY, BUT IT CAME OUT. IF THE SPIRIT LEADS
• 1:08:02
  YOU TO DO SOMETHING SUCH AS REACHING OUT TO SOMEONE OR
• 1:08:05
  TAKING A STEP OF FAITH, MOVE OUT ON THAT UNCTION. YOU FEEL AN
• 1:08:09
  UNCTION TO DO IT, BUT YOU'RE KIND OF AFRAID TO DO IT. I
• 1:08:11
  SHOULD TALK TO THIS WAITRESS AS SHE'S COMING TO GIVE ME MY CHECK
• 1:08:17
  OR I'M PAYING OR WHATEVER. I KIND OF NEED TO INVITE, I THINK
• 1:08:19
  I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO INVITE HER TO CHURCH OR ASK HER IF SHE HAS
• 1:08:23
  A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD OR ASK, YOU KNOW, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
• 1:08:25
  HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT HEAR ME AROUND, I BETTER
• 1:08:29
  NOT. MOVE OUT ON THE UNCTION BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU QUENCH
• 1:08:35
  THAT, IT'S HARDER TO HEAR THE NEXT TIME. IF YOU, IF YOU, AND
• 1:08:41
  I'M AS GUILTY AS ANYONE, IF YOU QUENCH THE SPIRIT AND DON'T DO
• 1:08:47
  WHAT YOU'RE CALLED TO DO, THEN IT'S HARDER TO HEAR THE
• 1:08:50
  INSTRUCTION THE NEXT TIME. GO BACK TO THE LAST THING THAT THE
• 1:08:55
  HOLY SPIRIT TOLD YOU TO DO AND DO THAT AND THEN IT OPENS THE
• 1:08:58
  DOOR FOR THE NEXT THING. IF YOU'RE STUCK, GO BACK TO THE
• 1:09:02
  LAST THING. FOLLOW GOD'S LEAD OR REPENT, SAY, "LORD, I MISSED THE
• 1:09:06
  BOAT ON THAT ONE. PLEASE SPEAK TO ME AGAIN AND I'LL LISTEN THIS
• 1:09:09
  TIME." AND THEN AS HE STARTS LEADING YOU, YOU'LL DEVELOP MORE
• 1:09:13
  STRENGTH, YOU'LL DEVELOP MORE FAITH, AND YOU'LL DEVELOP, YOU
• 1:09:18
  WON'T HAVE THE FEAR, I GUESS, OF STEPPING OUT AS MUCH. YOU KNOW,
• 1:09:25
  I'VE TOLD THIS STORY BEFORE, BUT SOME OF YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD IT.
• 1:09:28
  THE THING THAT I DETESTED AND WAS MORE FEARFUL OF, MORE THAN
• 1:09:34
  ANYTHING IN MY LIFE, WAS SPEAKING IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF
• 1:09:37
  PEOPLE. THAT WAS THE THING I HATED TO DO. I HATED SPEECH
• 1:09:43
  CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL. I HAD TO GET UP IN FRONT OF 20 KIDS AND
• 1:09:46
  GIVE A SPEECH. AND THEN I GOT IN TROUBLE BECAUSE I USED THE BIBLE
• 1:09:50
  ON MY FIRST ONE. AND THE TEACHER SAID AT THAT TIME, SHE SAID,
• 1:09:54
  YOU'D NEVER USE THAT BIBLE AGAIN. AND THAT WAS BACK IN THE,
• 1:09:57
  WHAT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE '70S. SHE TOLD ME THAT. SHE
• 1:10:02
  SAID, "I DON'T WANT YOU TO EVER USE ANYTHING FROM THE BIBLE
• 1:10:06
  AGAIN." SO I JUST KINDA, I WENT A LITTLE DIFFERENT DIRECTION,
• 1:10:09
  BUT I STILL TALKED ABOUT BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES THE NEXT
• 1:10:12
  TIME. BUT I DON'T THINK SHE LIKED ME, AND I THINK I ENDED UP
• 1:10:15
  WITH A C IN THAT CLASS. ANYWAY. BUT I HATE, I WOULD RATHER HOLD
• 1:10:21
  A SNAKE IN MY HAND THAN TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. THAT'S THE
• 1:10:25
  WAY I WAS. AND THE FIRST TIME I DID AN OFFERING AT CHURCH, MY
• 1:10:29
  WIFE SAID, "THAT WAS TERRIBLE." SHE SAID SHE ALMOST WENT UNDER
• 1:10:34
  THE SEAT, IT WAS SO BAD. I DON'T KNOW
• 1:10:37
  IF I'VE GOTTEN ANY BETTER, BUT WHATEVER.
• 1:10:41
  (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
• 1:10:42
  I'M HERE. THAT WASN'T IN MY NOTES EITHER, THAT WAS FREE
• 1:10:49
  TONIGHT. I GOTTA GET MOVING HERE, IT'S 8:10. WE GOTTA KEEP
• 1:10:52
  MOVING, I WANNA GET YOU OUT EARLY TONIGHT. BUT SEEK GOD'S
• 1:10:56
  WILL, NUMBER THREE, THE INVOLVEMENT OF HOLY SPIRIT AND
• 1:11:00
  HOLY SPIRIT WISDOM CONTINUOUSLY. ACTIVELY SEEK GOD'S GUIDANCE
• 1:11:05
  THROUGH PRAYER, BIBLE STUDY, AND LISTENING FOR THAT STILL, SMALL
• 1:11:08
  VOICE. AND THEN YOU'LL DRAW CLOSER TO HIM, YOU'LL HAVE MORE
• 1:11:13
  COMMUNION WITH HIM. YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW PASTOR HANK IS AT, I
• 1:11:20
  MEAN, HE HAS A GIFT THAT NOT EVERYONE HAS. SO NOT EVERYONE IS
• 1:11:24
  GOING TO SPEAK TO NATIONS JUST BECAUSE THEY SPEND TIME
• 1:11:26
  COMMUTING WITH GOD. AND WE CAN'T QUESTION WHY GOD USES ONE PERSON
• 1:11:32
  AND NOT ANOTHER. THAT'S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. WE DON'T KNOW.
• 1:11:37
  THERE'S MANY THINGS WE DON'T KNOW ON THIS EARTH. AND WE'LL
• 1:11:40
  FIND OUT ANSWERS IN HEAVEN. WHY HE CHOSE ONE AND NOT ANOTHER,
• 1:11:44
  WHY HE CHOSE PASTOR HANK TO BE A NATIONAL PROPHET AND NOT JUST BE
• 1:11:50
  A LOCAL PASTOR, WHICH I'M NOT PUTTING THAT DOWN. I'M JUST
• 1:11:52
  SAYING WHY DID HE CHOOSE HIM TO DO MORE THAN BE A LOCAL PASTOR?
• 1:11:56
  I DON'T KNOW. IT MAYBE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH OBEDIENCE
• 1:12:01
  AND CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY AND PUSHING AND PULLING AND BEING
• 1:12:08
  ABLE TO STICK WITH IT. ALL THOSE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT, BUT ALSO
• 1:12:12
  THERE'S A SUPERNATURAL CHOICE THAT GOD MAKES TO PUT THAT ON
• 1:12:15
  SOMEONE THAT'S WILLING TO ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY AND FOLLOW
• 1:12:18
  THROUGH. SO, THERE'S MANY THINGS THAT WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW, BUT I
• 1:12:22
  DO KNOW THIS, AS YOU DRAW CLOSER TO GOD, AS YOU COMMUNE WITH HIM,
• 1:12:27
  AS YOU PRAY MORE, AND AS YOU SEEK HIM AND YOU STUDY THE WORD
• 1:12:31
  AND YOU'RE DOING DILIGENT IN WHAT YOU CAN DO IN THE NATURAL,
• 1:12:36
  GOD WILL FILL IN WITH THE SUPERNATURAL. AND HE'LL HELP YOU
• 1:12:40
  TO ACHIEVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE CALLED TO DO. AND WHAT
• 1:12:44
  YOU'RE CALLED TO DO MAY NOT BE STANDING ON A PULPIT OR ON A
• 1:12:48
  PLATFORM OR IN SPEAKING NATIONALLY LIKE PASTOR HANK
• 1:12:51
  DOES, BUT WHAT YOU'RE CALLED TO DO AND YOU ACHIEVING THAT
• 1:12:54
  PURPOSE THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT PASTOR
• 1:12:58
  HANK DOES. IT'S JUST AS IMPORTANT. YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND
• 1:13:04
  THAT THAT YOU'RE CALLED TO DO BECAUSE THEN WHEN YOU GET TO
• 1:13:06
  HEAVEN, YOU'LL GET THE SAME REWARD AS PASTOR HANK BEING A
• 1:13:11
  NATIONAL PROPHET AND HAVING ALL THAT THAT HE DID. YOU'LL GET THE
• 1:13:15
  SAME REWARD BECAUSE YOU WERE FAITHFUL IN YOUR CALLING. OBEY
• 1:13:24
  THE PROMPTINGS. WHEN HOLY SPIRIT LEADS YOU TO DO SOMETHING,
• 1:13:27
  WHETHER IT'S SHARING YOUR FAITH, OFFERING HELP, OR MAKING A
• 1:13:30
  DIFFICULT DECISION, OBEDIENCE IS THE KEY. HOLY SPIRIT WORKS TO
• 1:13:36
  TRANSFORM BELIEVERS INTO THE LIKENESS OF CHRIST, RENEWING OUR
• 1:13:39
  MINDS AND CHANGING OUR BEHAVIOR. EDDIE, ARE YOU UP? NO, EDDIE'S
• 1:13:44
  NOT UP. EDDIE, YOU CAN COME ON UP. I NEED TO QUIT HERE. AS WE
• 1:13:50
  SEEK WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT, WE CAN ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GUIDE
• 1:13:55
  OUR DECISIONS AND HELP US UNDERSTAND GOD'S WILL FOR OUR
• 1:13:59
  LIVES, AND THEN STEP OUT IN FAITH AND DO IT. AND YOU'LL MAKE
• 1:14:02
  SOME MISTAKES, WE ALL HAVE. I MADE MISTAKES THE FIRST TIME I
• 1:14:06
  DID AN OFFERING, AN OFFERTORY. I DIDN'T DO NEARLY AS GOOD AS
• 1:14:10
  PASTOR KEITH DID TONIGHT. I WAS TERRIBLE. BUT FORTUNATELY, THAT
• 1:14:15
  PASTOR DIDN'T FIRE ME. HE SAID, "I'LL GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE."
• 1:14:18
  AND THEN I GOT A LITTLE BETTER AS TIME WENT ON, I THINK, DIDN'T
• 1:14:21
  I, EILEEN? OKAY, YEAH. OKAY. EPHESIANS 1:17, I WANNA READ
• 1:14:27
  THAT AGAIN OUT OF THE AMPLIFIED TONIGHT. IT SAYS, "I ALWAYS PRAY
• 1:14:31
  THAT THE GOD "OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER OF GLORY,
• 1:14:35
  "MAY GRANT YOU A SPIRIT OF WISDOM "AND A REVELATION THAT
• 1:14:39
  GIVES YOU A DEEP AND PERSONAL "AND INTIMATE INSIGHT INTO THE
• 1:14:43
  TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, "FOR WE KNOW THE FATHER THROUGH THE
• 1:14:47
  SON." HALLELUJAH. AS WE RESPOND IN FAITH AND SEEK HIS WISDOM,
• 1:14:53
  HE'LL GIVE US EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. TAKING STEPS OF FAITH,
• 1:14:57
  EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND THEM, AND TRUSTING
• 1:15:00
  THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LEADING YOU AND GUIDING YOU, IS WHAT WILL
• 1:15:05
  GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE TO TRUST HIM MORE. AND LET'S MAKE IT A GOAL
• 1:15:09
  THIS YEAR TO LIVE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO UNWRAP THE PACKAGE OF THE
• 1:15:14
  HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIFE SO THAT WE RECEIVE EVERYTHING HE HAS FOR
• 1:15:17
  US. WE HAVE THAT POWER GIFT WORKING IN OUR LIVES TO ACHIEVE
• 1:15:22
  AND ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED TO DO FOR HIM. "REPEAT
• 1:15:26
  AFTER ME, 'NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT,' SAYS
• 1:15:35
  THE LORD OF HOSTS." NOW I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE PROBABLY DEALING
• 1:15:40
  WITH CIRCUMSTANCES THAT YOU FEEL LIKE ARE ALMOST OUT OF CONTROL
• 1:15:44
  IN YOUR LIFE. YOU DON'T SEE THAT HOPE THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT
• 1:15:48
  TONIGHT. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT YOU SEE AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL IS
• 1:15:52
  A TRAIN. BUT GOD HAS AN ANSWER FOR YOU. IF YOU'RE WATCHING
• 1:15:57
  ONLINE AND YOU'RE DISCOURAGED, TAKE HOPE IN THE FACT THAT THE
• 1:16:05
  HOLY SPIRIT IS THERE AS AN INTIMATE GUIDE, AS AN INTIMATE
• 1:16:14
  GOD THAT WILL DIRECT YOU AND GIVE YOU THE PEACE THAT YOU
• 1:16:20
  NEVER KNEW IN ANY OTHER FORM OR FASHION AS YOU SEEK HIM, AS YOU
• 1:16:25
  MOVE TOWARDS THE PLAN THAT HE HAS FOR YOUR LIFE. YOU ARE NOT
• 1:16:29
  INSIGNIFICANT TO GOD. YOU ARE PRECIOUS TO HIM, AND HE HAS A
• 1:16:34
  PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. YOU HAVE TO TAKE STEPS IN THE NATURAL,
• 1:16:39
  THOUGH, TO RECEIVE IT AND TO MOVE INTO IT AND WALK IN IT. IT
• 1:16:44
  DOESN'T JUST AUTOMATICALLY COME. IT'S SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO TAKE
• 1:16:48
  A STEP TOWARDS. WHY DON'T YOU BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME TONIGHT?
• 1:16:52
  ACTUALLY STAND WITH ME IF YOU WOULD. IF THERE'S SOMEONE HERE
• 1:17:01
  AND THAT'S YOU, YOU NEED PRAYER TONIGHT, YOU SAY, "I'M
• 1:17:04
  DISCOURAGED. I NEED THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKING IN MY
• 1:17:11
  LIFE." MAYBE YOU'VE NEVER RECEIVED THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY
• 1:17:14
  SPIRIT. MAYBE THAT'S, TONIGHT'S YOUR NIGHT FOR THAT. IF THERE'S
• 1:17:17
  SOMEONE HERE AND YOU HAVEN'T, YOU CAN RECEIVE IT TONIGHT. IF

• 1:18:47
  BE OPEN TO RECEIVE WHAT HE WOULD HAVE FOR YOU. THANK YOU, JESUS.
• 1:18:53
  THANK YOU, JESUS. FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORD, SHARPER
• 1:19:00
  THAN A TWO-EDGED SWORD. I THANK YOU, LORD, FOR YOUR WORD THAT
• 1:19:04
  DIVIDES AND CUTS AND SHOWS US A PATH TO MOVE FORWARD ON SO THAT
• 1:19:12
  WE CAN DO EVERYTHING WE'RE CALLED TO DO. AND I PRAY OVER
• 1:19:15
  OUR ONLINE AUDIENCE AND EVERYONE HERE THAT FATHER, YOU'LL DIRECT
• 1:19:19
  US NOW. YOU'LL SHOW US BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT HOW YOU
• 1:19:23
  WOULD HAVE US MOVE THE NEXT STEP IN OUR LIVES, WHAT WE'RE TO DO
• 1:19:29
  FOR YOU. GIVE US YOUR THOUGHTS, LORD, AND YOUR DESIRES. WE WANT
• 1:19:35
  YOUR THOUGHTS, YOUR DESIRES, YOUR WISHES TO BE OURS, THAT YOU
• 1:19:39
  WOULD JUST SHOW US. IF YOU HAVE TO GIVE US A DREAM OR A VISION,
• 1:19:43
  JUST LIKE YOU DID THE PROPHET ZECHARIAH, WE'LL RECEIVE IT,
• 1:19:46
  LORD. WHATEVER TOOL YOU WOULD HAVE TO SHOW US THE NEXT STEP,
• 1:19:50
  JUST AS WE'RE STUDYING THE WORD, MAYBE, YOU SPEAK TO US. MAYBE WE
• 1:19:55
  CLICK ON THE RADIO AND WE HEAR SOMEONE PREACHING, AND IT'S A
• 1:19:59
  WORD FOR US. THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. I REMEMBER I TURNED
• 1:20:01
  ON THE TELEVISION ONCE ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO. I WAS SEARCHING FOR
• 1:20:05
  AN ANSWER TO SOMETHING, AND THERE WAS A GUY SPEAKING TO A
• 1:20:08
  GROUP OF TEENAGERS, AND THE WORD THAT HE HAD WAS EXACTLY WHAT I
• 1:20:12
  NEEDED AT THE VERY MOMENT THAT I TUNED IT IN. GOD USES MANY
• 1:20:18
  THINGS IN OUR LIVES TO SPEAK TO US. IT MIGHT BE YOU'RE LISTENING
• 1:20:21
  TO KAYLA OF MUSIC, AND A SONG COMES ON THAT MINISTERS TO YOU
• 1:20:26
  THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT. IT'S HAPPENED TO EVERYONE HERE, I'M
• 1:20:30
  SURE. YOU'VE HAD THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPEN WHERE GOD SPEAKS IN
• 1:20:32
  DIFFERENT WAYS, OR MAYBE SOMEONE WALKS UP TO YOU AND HAS A WORD
• 1:20:36
  FOR YOU. I DON'T KNOW, BUT BE OPEN TO RECEIVE WHAT GOD HAS FOR
• 1:20:40
  YOU. HE GIVES US WHAT WE ASK FOR, WHAT WE'RE BELIEVING FOR.
• 1:20:46
  STAND IN FAITH FOR IT. SO WE THANK YOU FOR IT IN JESUS' NAME.
• 1:20:51
  I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW ELSE TO END THIS SERVICE TONIGHT. I'M
• 1:20:54
  JUST THANKFUL YOU'RE ALL HERE. BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, IS
• 1:20:58
  THERE ANYONE HERE WHO NEEDS TO BE BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT?
• 1:21:01
  I THINK I ASKED YOU TO COME UP IF YOU'RE HERE, BUT YOU ALL HAVE
• 1:21:04
  BEEN BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, RIGHT? OK. AND IF YOU'RE
• 1:21:08
  ONLINE, YOU CAN CALL OUR PRAYER LINE, AND THEY'LL BELIEVE WITH
• 1:21:11

• 1:21:14
  THERE'S ANYONE ELSE HERE, YOU NEED SOMETHING, THE ALTAR TEAM
• 1:21:17
  WILL BE HERE. DON'T FORGET TO BE BACK IN THE HOUSE SUNDAY FOR DR.

• 1:21:28
  FOR COMING TONIGHT. GOD BLESS YOU.
