And I know I was gonna get here tonight. 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: But when Pastor Jonathan came and just laid hands on me, 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: I just felt the Holy Spirit come in me and 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: I just felt everything just like everything just went away. 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: I was like, no pain, no nothing, Like I couldn't 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: move my knees now, I couldn't move my neck without 11 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: even hurting, Like no pain no more. 12 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: We are raising up a family in this church. We're 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: raising up a family in Pittsburgh. We're raising up a 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: family in Texas that don't just know about God. They 15 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: know God. They've handled his power, they've seen his power 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: flow through it. You're coming out of here today carrying 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: fresh fire, fresh unknowing. 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 3: Take not for to take another word step. I'm going 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 3: to get right to it. 20 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: If you would put Joshua chapter one, verses two through 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: nine upon the screen. 22 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: And you had a dollars here. 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: I don't drink water when I preach, so you don't 24 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: ever put this up when I'm preaching. Plus don't want 25 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: to give a centi of free time, especially since I 26 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: got ranked the dirtiest water on planet Earth. Do you 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 2: know that they rank the water? A centia is the worst. 28 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 2: All these preachers have it in their thing. I must 29 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 2: have a cent of water. Hey, when you have tap 30 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: water from Flint, Michigan. 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 3: While you're at it. 32 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: Four Bible facts every successful believer must know, believe, and confess. 33 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: Four Bible facts every successful believer must no, believe and confess. 34 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: I preached this in the second service last week from Texas. 35 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 3: You had a dollars. 36 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: I was knocked it out of the park when I 37 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: left town in December. There were seven hundred and twenty 38 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: people on that Sunday and it was fifty one degrees out. 39 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: Dallas had nine hundred and seventy people and it was 40 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: six degrees out. So if I wasn't married to her, 41 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: I wanted to come back. The church grew two hundred 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: people in a blizzard. So I want to commend everybody 43 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: waiting in line and losing fingertips and the tip of 44 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: your nose to. 45 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: Come to church. But those days are coming to an end. 46 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: April fourth is Easter, and that's our target date to 47 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: launch the new building. 48 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 3: I know we said February. They can't do. 49 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: Water main tests when it's below a certain temperature, and 50 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: it was below that temperature for three and a half weeks, 51 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: which backed everything up. 52 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: But Easter is a good day to launch. 53 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: So April fourth is what we're gunning for for everything 54 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: to be finished. Might be done sooner than that, but 55 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: that'll be the day we'll have a brand new twelve 56 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: hundred seed auditorium with nine hundred parking spots and that. 57 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: Other than shuttles worth, the days of shuttles are over. Joshua, 58 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: Chapter one, Versus two through nine. Mose, Now do give 59 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: me eight verses eight and nine when we get there, 60 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: give me that in the King James version, Moses, my 61 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: servant is dead. Therefore the time has come for you 62 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: to lead these people, the Israelites, across the Jordan River, 63 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: into the land that I'm giving them. 64 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 3: I promise you what I promise, Moses. 65 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 2: Wherever you set your foot, you will be on land 66 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: that I've given to you. Tells them the boundaries of 67 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: the land. 68 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 3: Verse five. 69 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 2: No one will be able to stand against you as 70 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: long as you live. 71 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: Say that with me. 72 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: No one will be able to stand against me as 73 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: long as I live. So the Bible doesn't people. When 74 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: people attack they call a church like this a faith 75 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: church like that's an insult, like face a negative thing. 76 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 3: In the Bible. 77 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: And then when people attack faith, they attack things that 78 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: no one actually believes. That's called if you went to school, 79 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: you know it's called a straw man argument. Those are 80 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: these people say once you get saved, there won't be 81 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: any problems. 82 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: No one says that. 83 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: What we say is though challenges come, God has made 84 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: it so those challenges can't have rule over you. No 85 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: one will be able to stand against you as long 86 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: as you live. For I will be with you as 87 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 2: I was with Moses. I will never fail you, and 88 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: I will never abandon you. Be strong and courageous, for 89 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: you are the one who will lead these people to 90 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: possess all the land. I sword to their ancestors. I 91 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: would give them. Yes, be strong and very courageous. Be 92 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 2: careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Don't 93 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 2: deviate from them, turning either to the right or to 94 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: the left. Then you will be and keep that up. 95 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: Then you will be successful in everything you do so 96 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: again when people make it like you're going outside of 97 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 2: scripture to teach people that there's a way that in 98 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: following God's word, it will grant you success in everything 99 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: you do. It's what the Bible plainly states that following 100 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: the commands of God don't lead to defeat getting outside. 101 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 2: I mean, Jesus said it plainly. He who builds is 102 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 2: he who ignores my teaching is like a fool who 103 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: builds his life the sand. When the wind and waves 104 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: of life come, it destroys the house. But the man 105 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: who hears my word and does it is like a 106 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: wise man who builds his house on the rock. Those 107 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 2: same wind and waves come, but the house is still 108 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: standing firm. God's word is for our profiting on this earth. 109 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 2: Godliness For Timothy four to eight. Godliness is profitable under 110 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: all things, holding value in the life that now is 111 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 2: and in the life that is to come. So be strong, 112 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: everybody say be strong and courageous. So the Bible doesn't 113 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 2: just work regardless of what you do. There's a posture 114 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: to victory. You have to be strong and courageous. You 115 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: can't be weak and timid. Then Verse eight, King James 116 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: Joshua one eight KJV. This book of the Law shall 117 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: not depart out of thy mouth. 118 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 3: Say this with me. Victory has a posture. 119 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: Victory has a vocabulary. This book of the lawsy shall 120 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: not depart out of thy mouth. But thou shalt meditate 121 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: therein day and night, that thou mayest observed to do 122 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: according to all that is written there in. For then 123 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and you shall have 124 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 2: good success. Have I not commanded Thee this is a 125 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: third time. Be strong and of a good courage. Be 126 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: not afraid, neither be thou dismayed, For the Lord thy 127 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: God is with THEE whithersoever thou goest. Four Bible facts. 128 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: Every successful believer must no believe in. Confess how many 129 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 2: are you gone to church for at least ten years? 130 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: Any church? Obviously not this one, unless you were sitting 131 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: here for six years before we started it, which you 132 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 2: were in the spirit. Church was constructed around you. 133 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 3: I grew up in church. 134 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: Basically whatever I am right now, I became it by 135 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: deciding I didn't want to be in the group of 136 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: people that needed prayer. I wanted to be in the 137 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 2: group of people that did the pring. I would notice 138 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: the church. There were people and it was the same 139 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: people every week. Basically, who needs prayer? Same hands go up, 140 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 2: five years, ten years, fifteen years, never changed. 141 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: So you start realizing prayer isn't the problem. Put Luke 142 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: seven to twenty two up. 143 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: This is an interesting scripture Luke seven twenty two. Then 144 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: Jesus told John's disciples go back to John and tell 145 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 2: them what you've seen and heard. The blind sea, the 146 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf here 147 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: the dead aor being raised to life. 148 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 3: And then they're saying the poor are made rich. 149 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: It says the Gospel or the Word is being preached 150 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: to the poor. There's nowhere in the Bible legend in 151 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: pray for the widow z Aeraphath that her last meal 152 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: would become more than enough. 153 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 3: She had to hear and obey the word of the Lord. 154 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: So some things are cured by prayer, but other things 155 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: can never be cured by prayer. Some things are cured 156 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: by receiving the word of God and you being built up. 157 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: You know, there's as much rivalry as there. 158 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: Is between the Catholic Church and the Protestant Church. 159 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: They're not that different. 160 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 2: Both churches by and large have turned into you going 161 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: to see the guy in charge, priest or pastor him 162 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: pray for you, or in Protestant church, you know, keep 163 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: me in prayer kind of thing, and they've substituted that 164 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: for knowing the word God told Joshua didn't say, now, 165 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: make sure the high priest prays for you every day. 166 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: He said, you need to be strong and courageous. You 167 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: need to meditate on the Word day and night. You 168 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: need to never let this book of the Law depart 169 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: from your mouth. You need to speak the Word of God. 170 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 2: And only then will you be successful in everything you do. 171 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: Let me see Ephesians five twenty six Fijians five twenty 172 00:08:44,640 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: six to make her holy and clean, washed by about 173 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: the church, cleansed by the water of God's word. So 174 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: God's word makes you holy and clean. Let me see 175 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 2: Second Corinthians ten three to three through five. Second Corinthians 176 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: ten three through five. And you can do King James 177 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: in that. For though we walk in the flesh, we 178 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 2: don't war after the flesh. For the weapons of our 179 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God. To the 180 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 2: pulling down, keep that up, everybody, say the pulling down 181 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: of strongholds. We don't not believe in demon spirits. Here 182 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: we've cast the mountain service we've had. There's like three 183 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: weeks into the church. Some lady in a dress looked 184 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 2: like a nice church lady went down on the ground 185 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 2: right about there and was slithering around like a snake. 186 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: And some businessman zipped his Bible up. 187 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 3: And be lined it for the parking lot. 188 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: But for all that talk about pulling down strongholds, and 189 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 2: then the Charismack church, you know, get up on a 190 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: hilltop and we're pulling down the strongholds over Pittsburgh. How 191 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 2: are strongholds pulled down? According to the Bible? For the 192 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: weapons of our warfare are not cardinal, but mighty through God. 193 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: To the pulling down of strongholds verse five, how are 194 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: they pulled down? Casting down imaginations and every high thing 195 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing 196 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Everything there, 197 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 2: It's where Joyce Meyers got her book, From the Battlefield 198 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: of the Mind, casting down imaginations, every high thing that 199 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: exoneth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into 200 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 2: captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 201 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 3: Wait, had this has happened? 202 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: You know, fifty plus times in our ministry, maybe one 203 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: hundred plus times, somebody's brought to the. 204 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 3: Altar like like, I'll give it. 205 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: I'll give an extreme example, face full of tattoos, smells 206 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: like weed, you know, right off the street, involved in 207 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 2: bad stuff. And then you call them forward and they 208 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: come to the altar and you lead them in the 209 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: Sinner's prayer and they pray the Sinner's prayer and repent, 210 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 2: and their Christian friend that brings them brings them up 211 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: to you and go, can you pray for him again? 212 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: They need a lot of prayer, they need deliverance. No, 213 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: they don't need a lot of prayer. The prayer that 214 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: was prayed there. You know, there's people like when Billy 215 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 2: Billy Graham was a healing preacher when he went to 216 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 2: South Korea and prayed the Sinner's prayer when he gave 217 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: the altar calling that and the big crusade. 218 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 3: A lady starts yelling at sixty eight. 219 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: Years old that was born blind, that her eyes came 220 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 2: open when they preached, or what's amazing Grace who said 221 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: I once was blind, but now I see And they 222 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: taught that she actually believed that literally in her eyes 223 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: came open. People think people need a lot of prayer, 224 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: but they're substituting the wrong thing. If you've got a 225 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 2: brain tumor, brushing your teeth more isn't going to do 226 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 2: anything for the tumor. If you're applying to the wrong 227 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 2: thing to you know, well, he needs a lot of prayer. No, 228 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: it's actually you that's the problem, because you think prayer 229 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: that one prayer, it's going to be like the volume 230 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: of it, like you have to keep attacking. Where if 231 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: you will understand the Bible. The second, if that guy 232 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: can actually get rid of his Christian friend and instead 233 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: of get new friends, that understand when he prayed that 234 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 2: he's not becoming a new creature. If any man being 235 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 2: christ he is a new creature. The old life is dead. 236 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: Or as my wife would say, if you were a hoe, 237 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: you ain't a woe no more. You're not getting less hoe, 238 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: You're a who no more. Yeah, glad, I sl have 239 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: a ministry left after Galentine's name. 240 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 3: It's say this hell out. 241 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 2: It's the word that I know, that I believe and 242 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 2: that I confess. And the great thing about that is 243 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: I'm not dependent on other people's prayers. I'm not dependent 244 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 2: if I g enough people praying for me. That's why 245 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: you never heard me say. Now I'm going over to 246 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: preach in Nigeria. You know Christians are being kidnapped in 247 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: torture there. If you can keep me in prayer, I 248 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 2: don't need kept in prayer for that. I have victory. 249 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: I have victory in Pittsburgh. I have victory in Fort Worth, 250 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: I have victory in Phoenix. I have victory in La, 251 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: I have victory in Legos. I have victory in Kampala, Uganda. 252 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: Everywhere the soul of your foot shall tread, You'll be 253 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 2: on lamb that I've given you. 254 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 3: No one will be. 255 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: Able to stand against you as long as you live. 256 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: Whether it's isis or kidnappers or the moon Township message 257 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: board doesn't make a difference. The enemy can manifest in 258 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: different ways. But God said, whatever direction they come from, 259 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: they'll come from one direction. But I'll make them run 260 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 2: from you. In seven today, we're going to release at 261 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: ten o'clock a room full of victorious Christians by the 262 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 2: blood of Jesus Christ and the efficacy of the word 263 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: of God. 264 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 3: If you believe it, can you say amen? So now 265 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 3: think of this. 266 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 2: In Acts chapter nineteen, the Bible talks about the spirits 267 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 2: coming out. The Bible talks about all the people in 268 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: ephesis taking their witchcraft books. 269 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 3: And burning them. But what does it say Paul did. 270 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: Did Paul get an acoustic guitar and climb to the 271 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: top of the highest point in emphasis and sing prophetic 272 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: worship over emphasis till it broke? No, the Bible says, actually, uh, 273 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 2: let me see Acts nineteen verse eight, Acts nineteen eight. 274 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 3: Then Paul went, how did it start? 275 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: Then Paul went to the synagogue and preach boldly for 276 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: the next three months. Let me see it in the 277 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: amplified plastic I think it says from ten am to 278 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 2: three pm. What about regular amplified just amp knocked the 279 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: sea off? What does it say every dif from ten 280 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: amdil three pm. 281 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 3: I know it's there. I'll find it, but trust me, 282 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 3: I'm not lying. 283 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 2: And he went to the synagogue and for three months 284 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: spoke bol reasoning and arguing and persuading them about the 285 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 2: Kingdom of God. 286 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 3: Go back. He went to Sunad. 287 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: For how long he wasn't preaching one Sunday a week 288 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: he was preaching every day for three months to now. Look, 289 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: when I went to California for a month, it wasn't 290 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: because I was sick of the cold weather. I actually 291 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: would prefer to fast in the cold because it just 292 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: feels right like everything's dead, everything's dying, the sky's gray. 293 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: I actually don't like fastening when the sky's blue and 294 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: it's eighty out and there's half Year's Mexican restaurant on 295 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 2: the beach. 296 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: That's like too much for me to bear. 297 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 4: And Jonathan prayed for me. He's specifically caught out the blood. 298 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 4: I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder a couple of 299 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 4: months ago, and I've had a lot of issues with that. 300 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 4: When I came tonight, I wasn't expecting this at. 301 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: All, but he called it out, and I know it 302 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: was the. 303 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 4: Lord, and I just I know that it's yield, it's gone, 304 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 4: it's done, it's over with, in the name of Jesus, 305 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 4: he is my yeller, my god Father. I love you all, 306 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 4: thank you so much for doing this. 307 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: And so I went out there and if you heard 308 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: me during prayer and festing, when I came on after 309 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: a dollars, I said, I said, my goal is for 310 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 2: the attendance of this church to go up one hundred people. 311 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: By the time I leave, we were at about one 312 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 2: ninety to two ten. And sure enough last Sunday before 313 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: I left, three hundred and twenty six people on Sunday. 314 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: Because the word brings increase and it starts to break 315 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: things down. Well, you're preaching every night, people are coming, 316 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: people are getting healed, people are telling their friends. 317 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 3: That's what Paul did. 318 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: And then I don't have time to read the whole thing. 319 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 3: But when you read all. 320 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 2: Those manifestations of demonic power being broken, it happened from 321 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: the sowing of the word. Then once it's all broken 322 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 2: and people all burned their books, what does it say 323 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 2: in Acts nineteen Verse twenty KJV Acts nineteen twenty, so 324 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 2: mightily crue the Word of God and prevailed. The Word 325 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 2: of God is the backbone and foundation of everything in Christianity. 326 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 2: Speaking in tongues is an accouterment. The gifts of the 327 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: spirit are an accouterment and a necessary accouterment. But the 328 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 2: building of your life is on the Word of God. 329 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 2: And I'm telling you it's like it goes into one. 330 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 3: Of two ditches. 331 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: You got churches that are all word and because we 332 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 2: have the word. You know, these crazy churches that let 333 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 2: hands on people when they fall down. We don't do that. 334 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 2: We're just about the word. But the Word will tell 335 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: you about the laying loan of hands. It'll tell you 336 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all. 337 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: Then you have another group that substitutes everything but the word. 338 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 3: We're a presence driven church. 339 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: Our church is built on the presence of God. Let's 340 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 2: just have everybody come around the altar and we're just 341 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 2: going to sing, and then you leave. The service was 342 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 2: so good they didn't even get a chance to preach, 343 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: you know, because they feel that the manifestations of the 344 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 2: spirit are greater than the word. My grandfather that preached 345 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 2: for sixty two years said, all word and no spirit 346 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 2: you dry up. 347 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 3: All spirit and no word, you blow up. 348 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 2: But if you'll put them together in their proper order, 349 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: the foundation of the Word of God. How many of 350 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 2: you watched those crusades like California. We don't just start 351 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 2: praying for people who wants prayer today. 352 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll get healed and they'll go to hell or 353 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 3: less sore or in less pain. 354 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: We preach, you know, sometimes for one hour at those crusades, 355 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: and you watch the words start to make people listen. 356 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 3: That one picture of that old Mexican. 357 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 2: Guy in Santa Ana, California, took his head off and 358 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 2: put it over his heart and lifted his hand, waited 359 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 2: for me after and said, I get it now. 360 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 3: I see clearly what the Bible says. 361 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 2: The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of 362 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 2: our God stands forever, forever. Oh Lord, thy word is 363 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: settled in heaven. When you build your life on the 364 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: solid foundation of God's word, then you become an unstoppable 365 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 2: force in the Kingdom of God. 366 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 3: For the Bible is the sword of the Spirit. 367 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: When you loose it out of your mouth, it decapitates 368 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 2: the forces of hell that are aligned against your marriage 369 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 2: and family. 370 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 3: Can you say, amen? So what is there to know 371 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 3: ow to the Bible. 372 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: That disarms rulers, that takes thoughts captivity? 373 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 3: It was say take let me see. 374 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 2: Saying Marinthien's a ten to five again KJV. Casting It 375 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: was say casting down imaginations. 376 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 3: I can't do that for you. I can't get in 377 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 3: your head and throw imagine. You have to do it. 378 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: What does that mean casting out imaginations? I was on 379 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: an overseas flight on a United I think, and they 380 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: had movies to watch. So I was watching when it 381 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: was like an eleven hour flight, and the movie was 382 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: a husband, his wife and his child, and the wife 383 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: got cancer and died and he had. 384 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 3: To raise the daughter. 385 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: So I started thinking, as I was reclined in my seat, 386 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: what would I do if I was in that situation? 387 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: And that was right at the time that I shut 388 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 2: the movie off. You think about you know, people talk 389 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 2: about bad. 390 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 3: Movies and we should. 391 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it, you don't watch stuff with sexual 392 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 2: immorality or perverse things like that, But it would actually 393 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 2: be worse for me to start thinking around given entrance. 394 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: Why would I spend time thinking about my wife dying 395 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: when the Bible says with long life. Why won't I 396 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 2: meditate on that because it's negative? No, not because it's negative, because. 397 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 3: It's anti covenant. 398 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 2: I have a covenant with God and that covenant includes 399 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 2: long life. Can you say, amen, that's why you don't 400 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 2: hear any statements from this pulpit. Ever, how many know 401 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: we could die, we could die today, and look at 402 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: the difference. You know, I understand we're only a four 403 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: year old church, but you're ever a church in four 404 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: years with two thousand members close I think it was 405 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 2: seventeen hundred something like that. We'd have had two hundred 406 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 2: funerals in four years. You got a normal church, there's 407 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 2: people dying like it's the Vietnam War. 408 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 3: Every week. They got a wall of people sick they 409 00:20:59,080 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 3: put up every week. 410 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 2: We've had four funerals in four years, and two were 411 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 2: not members. Because there's a difference when you tell the 412 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: crowd we could all die every day, or if you 413 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 2: tell the crowd with long life. 414 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 3: Will I satisfy you and show you my salvation. 415 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 2: You know, this stuff is so strong in my spirit 416 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: that the barbershop you've heard me mentioned that I go 417 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 2: to when I'm in Arizona, it's all Russians. And there's 418 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 2: an Islamic Russian, a guy that's just like a Russian Russian. 419 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: I don't think he has any religion. That's the guy 420 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 2: cuts my hair. 421 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 3: And then there's an old Jewish Russian. 422 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: And so I hadn't seen the old Jewish gad the 423 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 2: last two times I was there, so I said, where's 424 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: the old Jewish cad that's normally here. They said, oh, 425 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: he has pancreatic cancer. I said, he does. They said, yeah, 426 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 2: he's very sick. They don't think he's going to make it. 427 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 2: I said, can you tell me what hospital he's at? 428 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 3: And they told me. I haven't had a chance to go, 429 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 3: but I'm going to head over shortly because I like 430 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: that guy. 431 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 2: And I said, I'm gonna go pray for him. And 432 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 2: the Russian guy said, he sometimes it's your time to go. 433 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 2: I said, how old is he? He? 434 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 3: I think he's sixty two. I said that it's not 435 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 3: his time. 436 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 2: And as it's coming out of my mouth, my mind's 437 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 2: going like, what is this guy? 438 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 3: Car? 439 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: I said, so ninety one says, with long life, will 440 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 2: I satisfy you and show you my salvation? Well? 441 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 3: What's long life? Because long's relative? 442 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 2: The Bible says three score and ten or four score 443 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: by reason of strength, which means in Old English seventy 444 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 2: years or eighty years is. 445 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 3: The minimum that you're to go out. 446 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 2: And then for all the anti faith churches that what 447 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 2: about Paul? 448 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 3: What about Paul? 449 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 2: Some scholars say he made it to seventy or seventy one. 450 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 2: Some scholars say made it to sixty six or sixty eight. 451 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 2: Do you know what the average lifespan was in the 452 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 2: first century Roman. 453 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 3: Empire thirty eight.
