Full transcript
- 0:09Get your Bibles and turn to the book of
- 0:11Genesis
- 0:12chapter number 8 verse 8 through13 and
- 0:16stand to your feet for the reading of
- 0:18God's word. Genesis chapter number 8
- 0:21verse 8 through13.
- 0:24Then we're going over into Ephesians I
- 0:27think 4 and 30.
- 0:40Thank you, Jesus.
- 0:45Amen.
- 0:47Genesis 8 and 8.
- 0:50We're going to read the 8th through the
- 0:5112th verse and then we're going to
- 0:54Ephesians 4
- 0:57and 30.
- 0:59>> [screaming]
- 1:01>> Ain't it the truth.
- 1:07Let's begin reading at the eth verse
- 1:09together as a family. And he sent forth
- 1:12a dove from him to see if the waters
- 1:16were abaded from off the face of the
- 1:20ground. But the dove found no rest for
- 1:23the soul of her foot. and she returned
- 1:27unto him into the ark, for the waters
- 1:30were on the face of the whole earth.
- 1:32[snorts]
- 1:33Then he put forth his hand, and took
- 1:36her, and pulled her in unto him into the
- 1:40ark. And he stayed yet another seven
- 1:44days. And again he sent forth the dove
- 1:48out of the ark. And the dove came into
- 1:51him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth
- 1:55was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah
- 1:59knew that the waters were abaded from
- 2:02off the earth. And he stayed yet other
- 2:06seven days, and sent forth the dove,
- 2:09which returned not again unto him
- 2:13>> anymore. Can you say amen?
- 2:16>> Amen.
- 2:16>> Now look at Ephesians 4.
- 2:20and 30.
- 2:31When you have it, say amen.
- 2:32>> Amen.
- 2:34>> Let us read together. And grieve not the
- 2:37Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are
- 2:41sealed unto the day of redemption.
- 2:47Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God,
- 2:51whereby ye are sealed unto the day of
- 2:57redemption. Remain standing. We're going
- 2:58to pray, but for the next few moments,
- 3:02we want to contemplate the subject
- 3:06when the dove cries.
- 3:11When the dove
- 3:14cries,
- 3:17let's pray.
- 3:19Spirit of God,
- 3:22maximize this moment.
- 3:26Let nothing be done in vanity.
- 3:30[clears throat]
- 3:33We have not gathered here to hear a man.
- 3:38>> We have come to hear you.
- 3:42If you don't speak tonight,
- 3:46>> then all of the fanfare and the pressing
- 3:48is in vain.
- 3:51We are hungry
- 3:54for the progressive proceeding word
- 3:57that cometh out of your mouth.
- 4:01Speak tonight.
- 4:03>> Somebody's got a question on the altar.
- 4:07>> Give an answer tonight.
- 4:10While we're here, Lord, just bless this
- 4:12house
- 4:14even the more abundantly with your
- 4:17glory.
- 4:18In fact, let it rain in here.
- 4:22Let the spirit of God send a deluge and
- 4:25a flood.
- 4:27Saturate us with glory
- 4:30do a new thing in us. We thank you. We
- 4:34thank you.
- 4:36You haven't even spoke yet, but we thank
- 4:37you in advance.
- 4:40Your credit is good with us. We'll thank
- 4:43you now. You can work it out later. We
- 4:46believe you for it in Jesus name. Amen.
- 4:49Give him a praise, somebody. [applause]
- 4:53Yes.
- 4:54Give him a little credit tonight.
- 4:58[applause]
- 5:00You may be seated.
- 5:05in the presence
- 5:08of the Lord. Do not grieve
- 5:11the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are
- 5:13sealed unto the day of redemption.
- 5:18While reading through some religious
- 5:20material that was prepared by
- 5:23uh some scholars from the Jehovah
- 5:26Witness,
- 5:27I stumbled upon a definition
- 5:31uh that they gave for the Holy Spirit
- 5:35which they defined in this particular
- 5:39journal as the active force of God.
- 5:46Initially, it sounded pretty good
- 5:50until I began to really meditate over
- 5:53the concept
- 5:54and I began to realize
- 5:57that if you define the Holy Spirit as
- 5:59the active force of God, you reduce him
- 6:03down to wind
- 6:06or rain
- 6:08or storms
- 6:10or any other force of nature,
- 6:14electricity,
- 6:17uncction.
- 6:19The Holy Spirit is not merely an it,
- 6:26>> not a mindless contortion,
- 6:29a force.
- 6:32It is referred to correctly as he.
- 6:38It is dangerous when we rob him of his
- 6:42personhood
- 6:45because when we lose sight of his
- 6:46personhood, we lose sight of his
- 6:49personality.
- 6:51For a force is mindless
- 6:54and has no intelligence at all.
- 6:57>> It is controlled by whatever contraption
- 7:00you build to house it.
- 7:03But God is intelligent.
- 7:06He is an all- wise, all knowing God.
- 7:09Omnisient
- 7:11>> already knows what we're trying to
- 7:14figure out.
- 7:16>> Sovereign God
- 7:18having all power
- 7:21apiciously reigning and ruling in the
- 7:23heavenlies. When he manifest himself on
- 7:27our behalf in the earth realm, he moves
- 7:30as the person of the Holy Spirit. But
- 7:34don't be confused,
- 7:36oh Israel. The Lord thy God is one, and
- 7:41beside
- 7:44him
- 7:45there is no
- 7:49other.
- 7:49>> Hallelujah.
- 7:53The first thing the book says
- 7:57about the Holy Spirit, the first thing
- 8:00it brings before us,
- 8:03the law of first mention.
- 8:07In the beginning, God created the heaven
- 8:08and the earth, and the earth was without
- 8:10form. And boy, darkness covered the face
- 8:13of the deep. And there it is. The spirit
- 8:14of the Lord
- 8:16>> moved.
- 8:19First thing God wanted you to know about
- 8:21the spirit is that it moves.
- 8:24>> When it shows up on the canvas of
- 8:26history, it says, "I'm in action. I'm in
- 8:28flight." There is no way that you can
- 8:31then be filled with spirit and not move.
- 8:39[applause]
- 8:41>> So, you're going to move. And I don't
- 8:42just mean in physical gyrations and
- 8:45spanker deraniums and goose pimples and
- 8:46chill bumps, but I mean move in regard
- 8:49to change and take action and progress
- 8:52and grow and flourish. If the spirit of
- 8:56God comes into your life, you will never
- 8:58be able to stay like you were when you
- 9:00got it. It will move you. [applause]
- 9:08It brings to life the character and the
- 9:10personality of God.
- 9:13>> One of the great dilemmas that God has
- 9:15always had is communication with man.
- 9:18>> For in Genesis, it says that the voice
- 9:20of the Lord walked through the cool of
- 9:21the garden calling for somebody who
- 9:23wasn't even listening. Communication has
- 9:25been a paramount dilemma for God because
- 9:28how can he convey the magnitude of his
- 9:32feelings to us?
- 9:35God is a God of passion.
- 9:38>> He is an intense God. He is not just a
- 9:41force. He is a God of feeling.
- 9:46>> He's jealous.
- 9:49His name is jealous.
- 9:52>> He's a loving God.
- 9:55>> And yet when he gets angry, there was no
- 9:58no word that the Hebrews could find to
- 10:00depict the anger of the Lord. So they
- 10:02called him wroth.
- 10:05which means anger with fire.
- 10:08>> Anger plus. And then when God got upset,
- 10:11he was hot,
- 10:16furious,
- 10:18inflamed.
- 10:20The breath of his nostrils cometh forth
- 10:22as fire.
- 10:24When he loves, he loves madly,
- 10:28passionately,
- 10:30intensely.
- 10:32It's always been difficult for him to
- 10:33find some way to make his disciples know
- 10:35exactly how he felt. And for this cause,
- 10:38he taught through illustrations because
- 10:40pain isn't pain until you feel it. He's
- 10:42just I want to make you understand how I
- 10:45feel. So, Abram, take now thy son,
- 10:48thine only son, and take him up on Mount
- 10:51Mariah and lift up a knife.
- 10:55place his body on a wood sacrificial
- 10:59offering and get ready to burn him up
- 11:02and raise your knife to slay your son.
- 11:08And then you'll begin to understand the
- 11:10magnitude of the sacrifice that I'm
- 11:12going to make to reconcile man to God.
- 11:16Or Hosea,
- 11:19you've saved yourself. You've kept
- 11:21yourself for Chase Virgin and I got a
- 11:25wife for you.
- 11:29Go to the red light district on the
- 11:31corner of Fifth and N.
- 11:35I want you to meet your bride. She's
- 11:37standing on the corner
- 11:40waving at the cause.
- 11:45Marry a prostitute, a hooker,
- 11:48>> a tren.
- 11:50And as you struggle
- 11:53to change, to love, to embrace, to
- 11:55nurture, to culture somebody who's
- 11:57looking at somebody else, then you'll
- 11:59know how I feel trying to love you.
- 12:04[applause]
- 12:08Then she disgraces you and embarrasses
- 12:10you and you have to go and buy her back
- 12:13off the slave table. And you have to
- 12:15purchase what was yours in the first
- 12:17place and redeem her.
- 12:21whom you have chosen. Then you'll begin
- 12:23to get some kind of empathy for what I
- 12:28feel
- 12:29loving you.
- 12:34One thing that Satan has understood
- 12:36about God is how much he loves you.
- 12:40>> So when he really got ready to get on
- 12:42God's nerves, he didn't use himself to
- 12:45vex God. He used man
- 12:48>> for one thing is indisputable in the
- 12:51heavens. God loves us.
- 12:55>> David says, "What is man that thou art
- 12:57mindful of him or the son of man that
- 12:59thou visitth him for thou has made him a
- 13:01little lower than the angels and yet
- 13:02you've ground him with honor and glory."
- 13:04He said, "I don't see nothing special
- 13:06about him. He's not as strong as an
- 13:07angel. He can't move from one one area
- 13:10to another like the angels move. He
- 13:12doesn't have the power and the force and
- 13:14the magnitude. And yet there's something
- 13:16about him that your mind is full of him.
- 13:20>> God is in love with you.
- 13:23He is so in love with you that he says
- 13:26you don't even have to bring him an
- 13:28offering. Just bring him the praise and
- 13:30it'll mean the same thing. [applause]
- 13:32He says, "I just want to hear it come
- 13:34out of your mouth. I want it to be your
- 13:35voice. I want you to open your mouth and
- 13:37tell me how good I am." And yet some of
- 13:39us won't even do that. Isn't it awesome?
- 13:43And so Satan says, "If I'm going to get
- 13:45next to God, I'm going to
- 13:48take what he loves
- 13:51and get that to take what he hates,
- 13:55which is sin."
- 13:57And then I'm going to take what he hates
- 13:59and put it in what he loves and create a
- 14:03dilemma for his emotions.
- 14:06For if he looks at what he hates and
- 14:07tries to kill it, HE WILL HAVE TO KILL
- 14:10WHAT HE LOVES.
- 14:13But he look if HE LOOKS AT WHAT HE LOVES
- 14:14AND TRIES TO SAVE IT, HE WILL HAVE TO
- 14:17SAY WHAT HE HATES. AND HE PUT GOD IN A
- 14:20DILEMMA.
- 14:25>> God reacted properly to sin, he would
- 14:27have killed man.
- 14:29If he reacted the way he wanted to to
- 14:31man, he would have saved sin.
- 14:34And he set God in a dilemma
- 14:38that made God walk through the cool of
- 14:40the garden
- 14:42and tell man you're in a mess. Just be
- 14:44still. But I'm going to work it out.
- 14:48[applause]
- 14:50I got to fix this. You can't. You No,
- 14:52the fig leaves won't do it. Adam, shut
- 14:54up.
- 14:57I'm going to work this out for you. for
- 15:01his right hand and his holy arm have
- 15:03gotten him. The victory, salvation is of
- 15:06the Lord. God did it all by himself. It
- 15:10wasn't your church. It wasn't your
- 15:11bishop. It wasn't your denomination. It
- 15:13wasn't your doctrine, your dress code,
- 15:14AND YOUR MORALITY. GOD [screaming] DID
- 15:16IT all by himself because he loves
- 15:20[groaning and screaming]
- 15:22you.
- 15:26It is his good pleasure to give you the
- 15:31king
- 15:34>> wants to bless you
- 15:36ab abundantly.
- 15:39He tells his disciples, I will not leave
- 15:42you comfortless.
- 15:45I will comfort you. I will pray the
- 15:46father and he will send you another
- 15:48comforter,
- 15:49>> an alos pericletus, another of the same
- 15:52kind who stands [snorts] alongside for
- 15:55the express purpose of helping you.
- 15:57Somebody say help.
- 15:59>> That's what the Holy Spirit comes to do
- 16:00in your life is help. If you're overt
- 16:03taxed and overloaded and stressed out
- 16:05and up under burdens and pressed, the
- 16:07Holy Spirit has come into your life to
- 16:09help you. Somebody say help.
- 16:11>> He didn't just come for your
- 16:12entertainment. He didn't come for your
- 16:13reputation. He didn't come just to make
- 16:15you sing better or preach better or to
- 16:17build your ministry or to build any
- 16:19egotistical self-enthrown ideology in
- 16:22the earth. When the spirit of God moves
- 16:24in your life, he comes to help. SOMEBODY
- 16:26SAY, "HELP."
- 16:27>> If you're pressed above measure and
- 16:29beyond strength, it's because you have
- 16:30not activated the power of God in your
- 16:32life. Because when God's spirit begins
- 16:34to operate in your life, you got so much
- 16:36help that demons begin to tremble and
- 16:38hell gets frustrated. YOU GOT HELP.
- 16:42[applause]
- 16:47LOOK at somebody and tell them, "I got
- 16:48some help."
- 16:50>> That means if you don't get around to
- 16:51helping me, don't feel too sorry for me
- 16:53cuz I got some help. That means whether
- 16:55you help me or not, like me or not, with
- 16:57me or not, or support me or not, I'm
- 16:59still going to basically be all right
- 17:01because when you put me down, he'll pick
- 17:03me up. I've got some help that's WITH ME
- 17:05RIGHT NOW. I've got help.
- 17:09[applause]
- 17:14FATHER'S SPIRIT, HELP usth
- 17:18>> our infirmities. Romans chapter 8, for
- 17:20we know not
- 17:22what we ought to pray for, as we ought,
- 17:28but the spirit itself
- 17:31maketh
- 17:33intercession
- 17:35>> for us. You know, you can't hardly get
- 17:37anybody to pray for you anymore.
- 17:40You tell somebody to pray for you and
- 17:41they say, "Oh, bless the Lord."
- 17:45>> When I ask you to pray for me, I want
- 17:46you to wrap up in sackcloths and ashes,
- 17:49stick your face in the baptism pool, and
- 17:52speak in tongues for an hour and a half.
- 17:54I want some real prayer.
- 17:58[applause]
- 18:00I don't want no little cutesy hotsy
- 18:02tossy religious spania that you read in
- 18:05SOMEBODY'S BOOK AND YOU JUST SAY, "BLESS
- 18:06THE LORD." WHILE YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT
- 18:08YOU GOING TO WEAR TO WORK TOMORROW AND
- 18:10WHAT YOU GOT COOKING IN THE OVEN. NO.
- 18:12ALL HELL IS COMING AGAINST ME AND DEMONS
- 18:14ARE TRYING TO ASSASSINATE ME AND I need
- 18:16to do spiritual warfare in the
- 18:18heavenlies. I need some help.
- 18:19[screaming] Somebody say help.
- 18:21[cheering]
- 18:23[applause]
- 18:35PAUL TOLD TIMOTHY, "WHEN MY HOUR CAME TO
- 18:37TRIAL, NO MAN STOOD WITH ME.
- 18:39NOTWITHSTANDING the Lord stood with me."
- 18:44People who I thought would help me
- 18:46forsook me.
- 18:48>> But the Lord
- 18:50stood
- 18:53>> with me.
- 18:54He helpeth our infirmities,
- 18:58>> our weaknesses, our, you know, the
- 18:59things that we don't admit that we have.
- 19:01Those are, that's what infirmities are.
- 19:04The things that we're obligated to act
- 19:05like we don't know anything about, those
- 19:08are infirmities. He helpth.
- 19:12I know you don't need any help, but if
- 19:14you ever did, the spirit of God would
- 19:16help you. But I know you've got it
- 19:18together, and you don't need anything.
- 19:19you don't have any infirmities and you
- 19:21are super spiritual. But just write this
- 19:23down for whoever you might need to
- 19:25witness to or minister to who hadn't
- 19:27grown to the point that you've grown to
- 19:29and tell them that when they have an
- 19:31infirmity, God's got some help.
- 19:37The spirit helpeth
- 19:39our
- 19:41infirmity.
- 19:44Cuz sometimes when we get down to pray,
- 19:47we don't even know what to say.
- 19:52Prayer has almost become a manipulation
- 19:55for us to give God his orders for the
- 19:57evening.
- 19:59But there comes a point that even the
- 20:00most skillful of us become exasperated
- 20:03and trying to control God.
- 20:05>> And we break down and say, "We don't
- 20:07know what we're doing and we don't know
- 20:08what to ask for and we don't know what
- 20:09to do and we don't know how to instruct
- 20:11you today. So Lord, do what you want to
- 20:14do.
- 20:17Then the spirit itself kicks in
- 20:20>> with groanings
- 20:24that cannot
- 20:26be uttered
- 20:28with intensity
- 20:31that is not languageable
- 20:36with a level of passion that cannot be
- 20:39expressed
- 20:41with inarticulate sounds.
- 20:45Groaning
- 20:49wailings.
- 20:52Few men have ever tapped into what the
- 20:54Holy Spirit is really doing.
- 20:57And when they did, they became radical.
- 21:01And they STARTED TO SAY, "HOW YE heavens
- 21:05and whail ye earths?"
- 21:08But they had tied into the passions
- 21:11of God.
- 21:14>> [snorts]
- 21:14>> ALL THAT [screaming] MY HEAD WERE waters
- 21:18and my eyes were rivers of tears. Then
- 21:22would I not weep both day and night
- 21:26[laughter]
- 21:28for the daughters of Israel that are
- 21:30slain? Is there no bomb IN GILEAD? IS
- 21:34THERE NO PHYSICIAN? WHY THEN IS NOT THE
- 21:38HELP OF THE daughter of my people
- 21:40recover?
- 21:45Send for the women of mourning
- 21:49and let them take up a whailing
- 21:54for that has climbed into our windows.
- 22:02This generation does a lot of shouting
- 22:06but we don't do much wailing.
- 22:09BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THE CONDITIONS OF OUR
- 22:12SOCIETY,
- 22:14it makes me want to take up a whale.
- 22:18When I see 11 and 12 year old boys
- 22:20standing before judges in courtrooms AND
- 22:24GETTING LIFE SENTENCES AND DON'T EVEN
- 22:26SHED THE TEAR, IT SCARES ME TO DEATH AND
- 22:29I WANT TO TAKE them away.
- 22:34When I was a little boy, I would be
- 22:35afraid to walk through the corner where
- 22:37a crowd of grown men were standing. But
- 22:40today, GROWN MEN ARE SCARED TO WALK DOWN
- 22:42A CORNER WHERE A GROUP OF KIDS ARE
- 22:44STANDING. SOMEBODY [screaming]
- 22:46NEEDS TO TAKE UP a wave.
- 22:54crownings
- 22:56that cannot
- 22:58be
- 23:00uttered.
- 23:02And the spirit of God moved. One
- 23:05translation says the spirit of God
- 23:07hovered
- 23:09like a hen does over eggs. It laid. It
- 23:14settled. It festered. It boiled. It
- 23:18bubbled. It wailed. It groan with the
- 23:21process of deliverance. It set up a
- 23:24crumbling in the earth realm.
- 23:29The spirit
- 23:31deep
- 23:33calling unto deep. I'm going to tell you
- 23:36something. If we ever quit playing with
- 23:40the Holy Ghost
- 23:42and really tie into some real spiritual
- 23:46power,
- 23:48>> I want to warn you before I go any
- 23:49further. It'll make you strange.
- 23:53You may not fit in the click or the
- 23:55club. YOU MAY NOT GET INVITED OUT AS
- 23:58MUCH. They may not call you on the phone

- 49:17I'll stay in my place. He stays in the
- 49:20ark and he waits
- 49:23as the dove, which is a symbol of the
- 49:26Holy Spirit,

- 49:30in search
- 49:33of a place to land.
- 49:37And finding no place
- 49:40to rest the soul

- 49:48him, weary,
- 49:52mouth empty,
- 49:54for he has found no place
- 49:58to rest
- 50:00his foot.
- 50:05Symbolically,
- 50:06it reminds us
- 50:09of the spirit of God that begin to move
- 50:11in Genesis 1 and 3 upon the face of the
- 50:15deep,
- 50:17searching
- 50:19for a place to rest his foot.
- 50:23All through the Old Testament,
- 50:26the dove flew,
- 50:30looking
- 50:32for a place he could rest.
- 50:37He came upon the prophets,
- 50:42spoke through them, lifted up from them,
- 50:47looking for a place
- 50:50he could rest.
- 50:52From Daniel to Jeremiah,
- 50:55Oatiah,
- 50:57Zachchariah, Amos,
- 50:59Malachi,
- 51:01he searches for a place he could rest.
- 51:06Seeing many men, blessing many men,
- 51:09flowing through many men, touching many
- 51:11men, abiding with none, [clears throat]
- 51:15comes back.
- 51:17found
- 51:19no one
- 51:21that he could rest
- 51:24upon.
- 51:26And after arrest,
- 51:30he goes again
- 51:33looking
- 51:35the dove,
- 51:37the Christ,

- 52:13through dispensations
- 52:15and ages through prophets and priests.
- 52:20Flies over kings like Saul. Flies over
- 52:26kings like David. Flies over kings like
- 52:30Solomon. Flies from tabernacles to
- 52:34temples. From the temple of Solomon to
- 52:36the temple of Zerubbabel to the temple
- 52:39of Herod flies. Finally, it comes to the
- 52:43Jordan River
- 52:46[applause]

- 52:55over the Jordan that flows into [music]
- 52:57the Dead Sea, representing our sins
- 53:00being flowing into the sea of
- 53:02forgetfulness, never to be remembered in
- 53:04this world or the world to come. The
- 53:06dove says, "I have found him whom my
- 53:10soul loveth. I HAVE FOUND THE ONE THAT I
- 53:13CAN SIT UPON." And he rested. AND THE
- 53:16BIBLE SAID UH THAT WHEN JESUS UH was

- 53:22A SOUND UH CAME FROM HEAVEN UH AND SAID,
- 53:25"THIS IS MY BELOVED SON in whom I am
- 53:28well pleased." And the spirit,
- 53:32[cheering and applause]
- 53:37the spirit of God descended
- 53:42upon him like a dove and it rested
- 53:50on him
- 53:52[panting]
- 53:53and he went in the water. Jesus,
- 53:57he came out of the water. Jesus the
- 53:59Christ
- 54:01>> because the the dove
- 54:06rested
- 54:08on him
- 54:12and Satan was angry.
- 54:16He set an appointment in the wilderness
- 54:21because the one thing that the enemy
- 54:23doesn't want you to be is anointed.
- 54:27>> [applause]
- 54:28>> He said, "I don't want that anointing on
- 54:31him, and I'm going to tempt him until I
- 54:34get it right." But what the devil didn't
- 54:37know, he said, "When God's anointing
- 54:39comes upon you, no weapon formed against
- 54:43you, shall be able to prosper."
- 54:48How somebody tell them, "It ain't going
- 54:49to work." [cheering]

- 55:05HE THAT'S IN me than he that's in
- 55:07[screaming and groaning] the world. I
- 55:08KNOW YOU'RE AFTER MY PEACE. I KNOW

- 55:12OF THE [groaning] Lord [cheering]
- 55:18[applause]
- 55:20>> [cheering]
- 55:25[applause]
- 55:29>> Somewhere
- 55:31over the chaos of the world,
- 55:36the dove
- 55:38pulls [snorts]
- 55:41an olive leaf
- 55:45a twig.
- 55:48And from the broken
- 55:50twig,
- 55:53a picture of the cut tree that would
- 55:57become the cross.
- 55:59He comes back
- 56:02with the sign to the one that sent him
- 56:06and said,
- 56:08"I have found
- 56:12him."
- 56:15>> Oh my soul loveth. And at the price of a
- 56:18broken twig, at the price of a cross, at
- 56:22the price of a bleeding side,
- 56:26here's a sign that the gospel shall be
- 56:29preached,
- 56:32all over the nation,
- 56:34all over the world. And the dove says to
- 56:37the one that sent him, "What shall I
- 56:40do?" And he says, "Wait
- 56:44>> seven days until the fullness of time."
- 56:47>> And while he's saying, "Wait in the
- 56:49heavenlies."
- 56:51>> Jesus is saying, "Wait on the earth real
- 56:53ground," he's saying, "Go to Jerusalem
- 56:57and wait there until you be endued with
- 57:00power from on high." The same anointing
- 57:04that is on me is going to come upon you
- 57:08if you will. And when the day of
- 57:11Pentecost was fully come and they were
- 57:14in one place with one accord, HE SENDS A
