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

• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: we can love again. Heal us till we can touch again.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: Heal us till we're not afraid of people.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: Heal us.

• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: the grave. Give us the grace to toss it in

• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: for some of us going in the hole. We can't
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: waste another day worrying about that. That was then, this
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: is now.

  Speaker 1: Sin deliverance.

  Speaker 3: for deliverance, for healing, for life after death, for victory
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: out of the grave. We thank you for it. In
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: Jesus' name, amen. Praise the Lord, everybody. Everything in this house,
