  70. 3:23given a lot of my
  71. 3:26Ministry preaching about a vision that
  72. 3:29God gave me many years
  73. 3:31ago I was pastoring in the great state
  74. 3:35of
  75. 3:36Oklahoma I took a church I come off the
  76. 3:39Evangelistic
  77. 3:41field and I was full of all kinds of
  78. 3:45ideas and uh nobody warned me
  79. 3:51about church run or board run
  80. 3:58churches
  81. 4:01and I know we have to have boards and
  82. 4:03there's board members that are great men
  83. 4:05of God I'm sure that's what all of Ohio
  84. 4:09is
  85. 4:11about but uh I inherited two
  86. 4:17boards trusteed board and a church
  87. 4:20board I had siblings that served on both
  88. 4:26sides and one of my first board meetings
  89. 4:30they were all about to come to
  90. 4:32blows
  91. 4:34literally and uh I figured I wasn't
  92. 4:38called here the pastor I was called here
  93. 4:40the
  94. 4:42referee it was quite a quite a
  95. 4:46deal and nobody told me about churches
  96. 4:49that were familyowned and
  97. 4:56operated kind of like we own that pew
  98. 5:04I got a phone call they were having
  99. 5:05music practice I got a phone call and
  100. 5:07they told me that uh the church Oregon
  101. 5:11had a little cover that came down over
  102. 5:14had been Pat
  103. 5:20locked I'm 26 years
  104. 5:23old and I had a quick trigger
  105. 5:27finger I'm not a good pastor
  106. 5:33I'm just telling you right now I'm not a
  107. 5:34good pastor I I lack compassion a lot of
  108. 5:37times and
  109. 5:41uh and I have a hard time
  110. 5:45tolerating people that ought to be
  111. 5:47acting
  112. 5:51older and
  113. 5:54uh
  114. 5:56anyway I called the lady that padlocked
  115. 5:59it I said said you padlock the organ yes
  116. 6:01I did and why because I don't want
  117. 6:03anybody else playing it that's my
  118. 6:08organ I said did you pay for it
  119. 6:12nope I'm the one that plays it in its
  120. 6:14mind and I'll give permission and you
  121. 6:17can't let anybody else play it unless
  122. 6:19you get permission from
  123. 6:21me and uh needless to say I did not
  124. 6:26manifest
  125. 6:27much the nature of
  126. 6:34Christ I informed her that I Had a
  127. 6:39Hammer true story and that I was headed
  128. 6:42down to the
  129. 6:44church and I was going to bust that
  130. 6:47padlock right off that
  131. 6:49organ she informed me that I couldn't do
  132. 6:52that and I informed her that I'm going
  133. 6:56to and she said I'm telling you you
  134. 6:58can't do it I'm the one that plays it I
  135. 7:00said nope that's your second mistake you
  136. 7:03used to play
  137. 7:08it I don't need that kind of stuff up
  138. 7:11there trying to lead
  139. 7:14worship I know these are Oklahoma
  140. 7:16problems and
  141. 7:20um so man we just I just full of ideas
  142. 7:25about Revival and how Revival ought to
  143. 7:27take place and so I uh man we just kept
  144. 7:30hitting the wall so I was asked to
  145. 7:33preach in a church in the Little Rock
  146. 7:34area and I had taken one of the men from
  147. 7:36the church with me and we got over there
  148. 7:37and I told him I said uh look I need to
  149. 7:40spend a little time in prayer and if you
  150. 7:43don't
  151. 7:44mind uh wow if you don't mind uh there's
  152. 7:49a nice Mall down the road some good
  153. 7:51restaurants and and uh you take the car
  154. 7:55and go down there I'm going to pray a
  155. 7:56little while he said oh no brother
  156. 7:57Morgan if you're going to pray I'm going
  157. 7:59pray with
  158. 8:00you and uh you know I don't mind
  159. 8:03community prayer think it's necessary I
  160. 8:05think it's part of it but sometimes I
  161. 8:08like to pray
  162. 8:10alone and uh so we prayed a little bit
  163. 8:14and it's just you ever had one of those
  164. 8:16prayer meetings where you felt like it
  165. 8:18was just
  166. 8:23flat
  167. 8:24anybody I guess the rest of you every
  168. 8:26time you pray the Heaven's open and
  169. 8:28angels are ascending and descending and
  170. 8:30you're floating in the air
  171. 8:34but uh no it just we just hit it and we
  172. 8:38prayed a while I did everything they
  173. 8:39taught me in prayer I did the prayer
  174. 8:41walk the prayer talk the prayer
  175. 8:45wheel got down between my bed and the
  176. 8:48motel wall there and I was had pillows
  177. 8:50propping me up and I was down there
  178. 8:52trying to and it just so we got up after
  179. 8:55a while and I told the guy I said look
  180. 8:57there's a nice mall and there's some
  181. 8:58restaurants down there the road and if
  182. 9:00you want to go down there I'm going to
  183. 9:02pray a little while longer
  184. 9:04and um
  185. 9:06man he said no I'm going to stay with
  186. 9:10you and I had just barely
  187. 9:14turned a little walkway in the motel
  188. 9:17room this chair he was standing in front
  189. 9:19of and uh just as I
  190. 9:23turned I'm going to weird out on you
  191. 9:25here a second all
  192. 9:27right just as I turned I heard this wind
  193. 9:30blow just you
  194. 9:33know and the next thing I
  195. 9:36knew I was
  196. 9:39um I was not in that motel room it's
  197. 9:44like I was in some elevated place and
  198. 9:48out in all of a sudden in my peripheral
  199. 9:52view I turned to look and there's this
  200. 9:54twirling
  201. 9:56massive ball of Fire
  202. 9:59I watched it as it broke into the
  203. 10:02Earth's Hemisphere and as it did it
  204. 10:06splintered and uh just like these Balls
  205. 10:11of Fire shooting across the
  206. 10:14globe I watched the main one and I
  207. 10:17watched it come over the state of
  208. 10:19Oklahoma over the little Community I was
  209. 10:22pastoring in called Oak
  210. 10:24Mogi then I seen it above our church
  211. 10:27building and then the the next thing I
  212. 10:29know I could see inside the
  213. 10:32sanctuary now all of you that believe in
  214. 10:36uh Latter day outpouring you also have
  215. 10:39to believe in dreams and
  216. 10:44Visions you can't choose which one of
  217. 10:50those and so when that ball of fire hit
  218. 10:54in front of the pull pit and for years
  219. 10:57it intrigued me that it didn't hit in
  220. 10:59the pool pit but it hit in front of the
  221. 11:02pull pit and when it
  222. 11:03did out of it came thousands of angels
  223. 11:08with swords
  224. 11:09drawn and I heard the word of the Lord
  225. 11:12say this the
  226. 11:14darkness will not
  227. 11:17Prevail against the
  228. 11:21light
  229. 11:24nope something happened in the
  230. 11:28spirit the church is a supernatural
  231. 11:31entity you cannot take the supernatural
  232. 11:34out of the church and it remain the
  233. 11:41church there was another time same thing
  234. 11:44except this time when it I was preaching
  235. 11:46a conference in Colorado and it's like
  236. 11:50tonight man the worship was fervent and
  237. 11:52I heard that wind blow again and I seen
  238. 11:56that ball of fire but this time when it
  239. 11:58hit it was it was not angels that came
  240. 12:00out of it but it was young men with
  241. 12:03Bibles in their hands they were bent in
  242. 12:06Forward Motion the Lord said this is how
  243. 12:10I will set America on
  244. 12:12fire I will ignite local churches with
  245. 12:15this
  246. 12:17fire and coming out of it will be fiery
  247. 12:21evangelist and everything they touch
  248. 12:24that is
  249. 12:25combustible is going to
  250. 12:28burn
  251. 12:30praise God you better read your Bible
  252. 12:33because there's a lot about
  253. 12:36fire the second act of God's judgment
  254. 12:38against the world is going to be with
  255. 12:40fire so I don't say this just casually
  256. 12:44but I say it this way you can burn now
  257. 12:48or you can burn later but everybody is
  258. 12:52going to
  259. 12:53burn so I choose to let the Holy Ghost
  260. 12:56and Fire enter my life now
  261. 12:59to consume out of me because our God is
  262. 13:03a consuming
  263. 13:06fire he said I baptize you with the Holy
  264. 13:09Ghost in fire he meant I will send my
  265. 13:11fire into your life to consume the
  266. 13:15chaff and to remove everything that's
  267. 13:18not like me so that's the whole purpose
  268. 13:20of this fire is for it to come and
  269. 13:22consume our God is a consuming fire
  270. 13:25there's other parts of this I'll leave
  271. 13:27off and I have preached around the Globe
  272. 13:30I have preached to the United States I
  273. 13:31have preached that and preached it and
  274. 13:33preached it and preached it and uh we
  275. 13:37are believing God for that we really are
  276. 13:40and uh I I I've given my life to that
  277. 13:44but a few months ago uh someone called
  278. 13:47and said uh I I I feel to tell you
  279. 13:50something and so they begin to talk to
  280. 13:53me and it showed me a different
  281. 13:56aspect uh when you look at the fire it
  282. 14:00is our God is a consuming fire the fire
  283. 14:04of God does not just
  284. 14:07fall for just some
  285. 14:10display but you will always find the
  286. 14:13fire of God coming to the
  287. 14:17altar but for it to come to the altar
  288. 14:20there's got to be a
  289. 14:22sacrifice on the
  290. 14:24altar praise God so uh I don't know two
  291. 14:29or three years ago I was privileged to
  292. 14:31preach for brother bounds and uh we had
  293. 14:35tons of interpretation that night and
  294. 14:37the interpretation was my fire is
  295. 14:40reserved in the heavens my fire is above
  296. 14:44the
  297. 14:45city the only thing my fire seeks is an
  298. 14:51altar if you will build me the
  299. 14:54altar my fire will fall praise God stay
  300. 15:00with me now now I understand when we
  301. 15:03start talking about the altar among us
  302. 15:06apostolics we associate the altar with
  303. 15:11prayer a few years ago I seen
  304. 15:14um in in a dream I seen some young men
  305. 15:19standing in front of the platform and
  306. 15:21they were dancing and rejoicing and I
  307. 15:24said what are you excited about and the
  308. 15:26reply was we have removed the the altar
  309. 15:30out of this
  310. 15:31church and I knew that's nothing to
  311. 15:34Rejoice
  312. 15:35about and uh I want to tell you that you
  313. 15:39can
  314. 15:40pray but not have an
  315. 15:44altar the altar is not about
  316. 15:48prayer the altar is about
  317. 15:54death it's where
  318. 15:56something
  319. 15:57dies
  320. 16:00so if you don't have an altar in your
  321. 16:02life and you're praying I can assure you
  322. 16:06that you are praying a
  323. 16:09Miss because you're not praying God's
  324. 16:13will you're praying your own
  325. 16:16will but you show me that somebody
  326. 16:19that's got an
  327. 16:20altar and they are living that Crucified
  328. 16:24Life I'll show you somebody when they
  329. 16:27start to pray that prayer will be in
  330. 16:31alignment with the will of God and it is
  331. 16:34the effectual fervent prayer of a
  332. 16:37righteous man he's in right standing
  333. 16:40with God that availeth much oh praise
  334. 16:45God amen amen amen
  335. 16:48amen now I I want to tell you the
  336. 16:51Apostle Paul was very clear about this I
  337. 16:54beseech you therefore Brethren by the
  338. 16:56mercies of God that you present your
  339. 16:58bodies a Living Sacrifice holy and
  340. 17:02acceptable unto God which is your
  341. 17:05reasonable service don't anybody ever
  342. 17:08lie to you and tell you that Holiness is
  343. 17:10not
  344. 17:13reasonable it's your
  345. 17:15reasonable
  346. 17:17service what he's saying there is is
  347. 17:20your
  348. 17:21worship this is true worship true
  349. 17:24worship is not you lifting your hands
  350. 17:26and speaking and jumping or whatever
  351. 17:29but true worship to God is when you are
  352. 17:33living that kind of a life where you are
  353. 17:36a Living
  354. 17:39Sacrifice living is continual and
  355. 17:43Perpetual I asked doctor Hughes one time
  356. 17:45I said what what about that verse what
  357. 17:47about Living Sacrifice he said well
  358. 17:49that's pretty simple really he said uh
  359. 17:52in the Old Testament you know uh they
  360. 17:55put a sacrifice on the altar you killed
  361. 17:57it it didn't crawl off
  362. 18:02he said but you and I both know you can
  363. 18:03get on the altar today but tomorrow you
  364. 18:05can crawl right off the
  365. 18:07Altar and he said so it's about
  366. 18:09perpetually living that kind of a life
  367. 18:12this is what God is asking us for I
  368. 18:15travel all across the United States and
  369. 18:17I constantly have people come up and
  370. 18:19this is what they say uh do you have a
  371. 18:21word for me what's the will of God for
  372. 18:24my life and uh I I uh I real realize
  373. 18:29that some of these people are sincere
  374. 18:31and if God tells me something I don't
  375. 18:32mind telling people but I've learned to
  376. 18:35realize that apostolics are kind of
  377. 18:38spiritually
  378. 18:40lazy and you don't want to pray you want
  379. 18:43me to pray for
  380. 18:45you and you don't want to go to the
  381. 18:47throne to find the will of God you want
  382. 18:50me to go for
  383. 18:52you boy I lost a bunch of you right
  384. 18:55there
  385. 18:56amen I had a young man one time came up
  386. 18:59to me first night of a meeting and he
  387. 19:00said Lord spoke to me that uh this this
  388. 19:04and this and then while you were here
  389. 19:06you would fill in the blanks basically
  390. 19:08and I said okay so that's first night
  391. 19:10second night he come up after service
  392. 19:11said you have that word for me I said I
  393. 19:14don't come up the third night last night
  394. 19:16he said you got that word from me I said
  395. 19:18I don't I could tell he's a little
  396. 19:21irritated like what's wrong with you
  397. 19:23brother Morgan are you carnal and uh so
  398. 19:27he he expressed his IR irritation and I
  399. 19:29said you know something son there's
  400. 19:31something I don't understand about this
  401. 19:33he said what's that I said God told you
  402. 19:35all that other
  403. 19:38stuff why didn't you let him fill in the
  404. 19:43blanks I'm going to help somebody you
  405. 19:45better be really careful when somebody
  406. 19:48else is telling you what they think the
  407. 19:50will of God is for your
  408. 19:52life I've learned that through
  409. 19:54experience too the best way for you to
  410. 19:57find the will of God
  411. 19:59is to do exactly what Paul said just
  412. 20:01become a Living
  413. 20:03Sacrifice you will never know what the
  414. 20:05will of God is until you get to the
  415. 20:07altar because it's at the altar that
  416. 20:10your will has got to
  417. 20:12die what you want has got to die feel
  418. 20:16like preaching here a second this is the
  419. 20:18struggle that we're having I've said
  420. 20:21Through The Years Jesus Christ did not
  421. 20:23die on the cross Jesus Christ died in
  422. 20:25the garden he died when he made this
  423. 20:28statement not my
  424. 20:32will not my will but thy will be done
  425. 20:37you're not dead until you can pray that
  426. 20:39kind of a prayer you're living life the
  427. 20:42way you think you ought to live it
  428. 20:43you've learned the mechanics of church
  429. 20:45you've learned how to do this but I'm
  430. 20:47telling you if there was ever a time
  431. 20:49that the apostolics needed to get to the
  432. 20:52Altar and for us to die out on how we
  433. 20:55think God ought to be running his
  434. 20:57business it's right right now Revival
  435. 21:00and harvest is not going to come the way
  436. 21:02you think it's going to come this
  437. 21:05Harvest is going to be led by the Holy
  438. 21:07Ghost and those that will go to the
  439. 21:12Altar and be not conformed to this world
  440. 21:15but rather be you transformed by the
  441. 21:17renewing of your minds the only way your
  442. 21:20mind will ever be renewed is when you
  443. 21:22get to the Altar and you put your mind
  444. 21:25and you put your ways and you put your
  445. 21:28will on the Altar and you say There It
  446. 21:30Is God now I'm asking you to consume it
  447. 21:34and when it's consumed I'm expecting for
  448. 21:36something to be better on that Altar and
  449. 21:39for me to
  450. 21:41know for me to know what is the will of
  451. 21:45God that I can prove what is the will of
  452. 21:48God well praise God sir oh yeah oh yeah
  453. 21:53you know you better be careful you
  454. 21:55better be careful cuz you can get to
  455. 21:57telling God what you think and uh you
  456. 22:01can you can get yourself in a lot of
  457. 22:06trouble boy it's quiet right
  458. 22:10now did you know that all of us in this
  459. 22:13building have the propensity to be
  460. 22:17Satan I didn't say I didn't call you a
  461. 22:22devil Satan just means
  462. 22:24adversary Simon is a boy I can metal
  463. 22:29right now Bishop Simon
  464. 22:32is thou the Christ the son of the Living
  465. 22:35God Jesus said blessed are thou Simon
  466. 22:36bar Jonah flesh and blood not reveal
  467. 22:40this to you my father which is in heaven
  468. 22:42if you read five verses down going into
  469. 22:44the sixth verse guess what Jesus says to
  470. 22:47him get the behind me
  471. 22:51Satan just think all it takes to fall
  472. 22:54from blessed to Satan is five versus
  473. 23:00and you know why Jesus called him Satan
  474. 23:02adversary because Jesus expressed the
  475. 23:05will of
  476. 23:06God I'm going to Jerusalem and I'm going
  477. 23:09to die and Simon Peter said oh no that
  478. 23:11ain't going to happen bless God I got a
  479. 23:13sword we're going to protect you we're
  480. 23:15going to defend you you're going to the
  481. 23:17throne of your father David you're going
  482. 23:19to resurrect an army you're going to
  483. 23:20drive Rome back into the sea and you're
  484. 23:22going to restore Israel back to its
  485. 23:24preeminence that's not what I said I
  486. 23:26said I'm going to Jerusalem and I'm
  487. 23:28going to die and the moment that had of
  488. 23:31his own understanding and what he
  489. 23:34perceived to be the will of God and he
  490. 23:36speaks against the will of God he has
  491. 23:39now become
  492. 23:44Satan better be careful when you're
  493. 23:46trying to figure it all out in your
  494. 23:48intellect and that little analytical
  495. 23:49brain of yours and when the word of God
  496. 23:52comes forth and vision comes forth and
  497. 23:54the will of God is expressed and it
  498. 23:56doesn't fit your Paradigm and it doesn't
  499. 23:58fit the way you want to do it you better
  500. 24:00be careful what's about to come out of
  501. 24:02your
  502. 24:04mouth I'm sorry I'm supposed to be
  503. 24:06preaching positive here
  504. 24:09tonight now's not the time for us to get
  505. 24:11off on our own stuff and to start doing
  506. 24:13our own will and doing our own thing
  507. 24:16Now's the Time for the apostolics to get
  508. 24:18to the Altar and for us to die out and
  509. 24:20say we need a visitation of the fire of
  510. 24:24the Holy
  511. 24:26Ghost praise God somebody clap your
  512. 24:29hands here a
  513. 24:31[Applause]

  515. 24:42amen everybody
  516. 24:44good anybody mad want a
  517. 24:51refund
  518. 24:53now I've preached a lot about that fire
  519. 24:57a lot about it and I am
  520. 25:00convinced that we're going to see
  521. 25:05it I want say it again I am
  522. 25:08convinced that we're going to see it
  523. 25:12everybody here ought to be thinking
  524. 25:13right now I want my city and my
  525. 25:16community set on fire with the Holy
  526. 25:21Ghost and if the church will build an
  527. 25:24altar and we'll put ourselves on it and
  528. 25:28the fire of God will consume us when we
  529. 25:31go out
  530. 25:32there something's going to happen
  531. 25:37woo I think y'all are kind of connecting
  532. 25:40right
  533. 25:42now yeah everybody say the fire fire
  534. 25:47here's the
  535. 25:48deal here's the
  536. 25:50deal I
  537. 25:53am I get that I understand that so I
  538. 25:57started kind of doing a little study and
  539. 26:00uh during Co
  540. 26:02especially I felt like the Lord was
  541. 26:04directing me personally you need to
  542. 26:07understand the difference between the
  543. 26:10church and the
  544. 26:13kingdom my people understand the culture
  545. 26:16of the
  546. 26:17church but they do not really understand
  547. 26:21the
  548. 26:22kingdom now without getting into a big
  549. 26:25theological debate and you have to call
  550. 26:26for a special board meeting to
  551. 26:28straighten all this
  552. 26:30out let me put it to you like this I see
  553. 26:35the
  554. 26:35church as the
  555. 26:40queen I see him as the
  556. 26:44king that's the way I see
  557. 26:47it the church is
  558. 26:51feminine the feminine responsibility is
  559. 26:54to
  560. 26:55nurture the king's responsibility the
  561. 26:58masculine
  562. 27:00responsibility is
  563. 27:02Authority provide
  564. 27:04correct that's his
  565. 27:06responsibility it is not the church's
  566. 27:09responsibility to operate in the
  567. 27:11masculine we teach against
  568. 27:17that that went right over your heads
  569. 27:20amen God never intended for us to have a
  570. 27:24transgender even in the
  571. 27:26church when you you start dealing with
  572. 27:30transgender you have to understand that
  573. 27:32you are touching Christ and the
  574. 27:36church because Jesus Christ is the last
  575. 27:41Adam and the church is the last Eve so
  576. 27:47now we see Adam and Eve we see it in the
  577. 27:49church in Christ so when people try to
  578. 27:52change all of that you're trying to
  579. 27:55change more than what you think
  580. 27:59then don't matter what you try to change
  581. 28:01when it's all said and done the only
  582. 28:03thing that's going to be left is him and
  583. 28:05his
  584. 28:07bride
  585. 28:08amen I know some of you get nervous man
  586. 28:11get off that if you think that's bad you
  587. 28:13ought to Pastor in San
  588. 28:19Francisco so you you see all this but
  589. 28:23the kingdom the Kingdom so I spent a lot
  590. 28:27of time looking at the the kingdom the
  591. 28:29approach of the Kingdom how the kingdom
  592. 28:32operates if you'll remember when Jesus
  593. 28:34called the 12 the
  594. 28:3670 he told him said I want to send you
  595. 28:39out in uh groups of
  596. 28:41two I want you to preach repent for the
  597. 28:45kingdom is
  598. 28:47nigh and so why did you send them out
  599. 28:50like that well you go this is what you
  600. 28:53do you cast out Devils heal the sick
  601. 28:55raise the dead you heal the sick
  602. 28:58this is what he was telling them if you
  603. 29:00get there and there is a son of Peace
  604. 29:03there then my peace will remain but if
  605. 29:06it's not then uh let peace return back
  606. 29:10to you and you just dust dirt off of
  607. 29:13that City off of yourself and go on down
  608. 29:16the road it will be more tolerable for
  609. 29:19Sodom and gomorah in the end time than
  610. 29:22that
  611. 29:24City so I got to looking at all that
  612. 29:26trying to figure that out how what in
  613. 29:27the what does that mean then I realized
  614. 29:30that any time an advancing king or
  615. 29:32kingdom was about to go to another city
  616. 29:35they would send Messengers or harbingers
  617. 29:37into the City and they would ask that
  618. 29:41City do you want us to come in peace or
  619. 29:44do you want us to come in war and
  620. 29:46judgment if they want peace then the
  621. 29:50Peace of the approaching Kingdom would
  622. 29:52remain there so Jesus was given us an
  623. 29:55example that my kingdom should be
  624. 29:59advancing I'm sending you out into the
  625. 30:02world the church is where we gather
  626. 30:05together to be nurtured but I'm sending
  627. 30:07you into the world as Kingdom
  628. 30:11Messengers and if they want it then my
  629. 30:13peace will remain they'll make me their
  630. 30:17King they will confess me as Lord but if
  631. 30:22they don't then it's pretty clear what's
  632. 30:24about to happen so I got to look at all
  633. 30:27that and then I realize that in every
  634. 30:29Kingdom there's a king and there's a
  635. 30:32throne the throne is the seat of his
  636. 30:35government that's where he rules from
  637. 30:38that's why the wise men said where the
  638. 30:40word of a king is there's power and who
  639. 30:44can question it in other words once a
  640. 30:47king decrees something you don't have
  641. 30:50the right see it's not a republic or a
  642. 30:53democracy where you got a right to your
  643. 30:56opinion and everybody can say whatever
  644. 30:59it is they want to say that might work
  645. 31:02here in the good old United States of
  646. 31:04America but it doesn't work where
  647. 31:06there's
  648. 31:08Kings Kings don't come to ask you what
  649. 31:11do you think they don't put it out there
  650. 31:14and say you judge it and do you want
  651. 31:16this and all they just say it and the
  652. 31:18wise men said who can question it
  653. 31:21whether you agree or you disagree it's
  654. 31:23the word of a
  655. 31:24king it's always right so this this is
  656. 31:28the throne now become extremely
  657. 31:31important to me
  658. 31:33now I I got to looking at the throne and
  659. 31:35how do we approach the throne and uh
  660. 31:39then I got to looking at Genesis and the
  661. 31:42garden and all the stuff and all now
  662. 31:45without getting
  663. 31:47into a debate here tonight or trying to
  664. 31:50prove something I don't have the time I
  665. 31:52am convinced that Eden was a perfect
  666. 31:56type of God's Throne it's where he ruled
  667. 32:00and reigned as far as we know in the
  668. 32:02earth I also believe that this is where
  669. 32:05Satan Lucifer as we would know him there
  670. 32:09I believe it was Lucifer's
  671. 32:10responsibility as the angel that was to
  672. 32:13cover to protect I believe it was his
  673. 32:17responsibility to protect and to guard
  674. 32:20the Throne of God the reign of God in
  675. 32:23that place called Eden and this is my
  676. 32:25own personal understanding of it I also
  677. 32:28know that when he refused to guard the
  678. 32:31Throne of God or the will of God then uh
  679. 32:35he is no longer Lucifer but now he has
  680. 32:38become Satan or the devil it's a process
  681. 32:42so I think it's important for us to
  682. 32:45recognize that the Throne of God is
  683. 32:48extremely important because this is
  684. 32:50where he rules and this is where he
  685. 32:53reigns this is where his will is
  686. 32:56expressed and so if you ever get to the
  687. 32:59throne and you ever establish that
  688. 33:02Throne of God in your life you better
  689. 33:05guard it with everything that is within
  690. 33:08you are you listening to me here tonight
  691. 33:11you need to guard it with everything
  692. 33:12that's within you if God has spoken to
  693. 33:15you and given you his will you need to
  694. 33:18guard it and to protect it don't let
  695. 33:21anybody question it don't listen to any
  696. 33:24voice that tries to plant confusion or
  697. 33:28chaos to speak against it I don't care
  698. 33:31who it
  699. 33:33is once God has spoken to you and once
  700. 33:36God has decreed it and you got it from
  701. 33:39the throne you better learn how to
  702. 33:41protect it and not let anything
  703. 33:47take if you're honest enough here
  704. 33:49tonight you you'll admit it once God
  705. 33:52speaks to you about something decrease
  706. 33:53his will to you from that point on as
  707. 33:56far as I'm concerned all hell Breaks
  708. 33:58Loose trying to get you off to this way
  709. 33:59and that way and question everything and
  710. 34:01get you to back up get you to move over
  711. 34:04here and get you to leave and go over
  712. 34:05here and do that I I I can't operate
  713. 34:07that way I told somebody here a while
  714. 34:09back I said I can't keep up with you
  715. 34:10you're like a bouncing ball to me one
  716. 34:13minute God says this and then tomorrow
  717. 34:14he changes his mind and it's this I said
  718. 34:17I don't see God doing that God's not
  719. 34:21schizophrenic I said I operate when God
  720. 34:24speaks something to me I'm determined to
  721. 34:26stay to it until it it becomes a reality
  722. 34:29I'm not going to let anything question
  723. 34:31that or get into my mind or let somebody
  724. 34:33else tell me well there's
  725. 34:37another well there's a perfect will of
  726. 34:40God and then there's a good will of God
  727. 34:41and there's an acceptable will of God
  728. 34:44you you may be right but I just I just
  729. 34:46can't go down that path I think the will
  730. 34:48of God is good acceptable and perfect
  731. 34:51and once I find the will of God I think
  732. 34:53he expects me to guard it and to walk in
  733. 34:55it and to prove it and to execute it
  734. 34:59that's why the church has got to get to
  735. 35:01the throne that's why we need a fresh
  736. 35:03word from God that's why God needs to
  737. 35:06speak in 2022 louder and clearer than
  738. 35:09he's ever
  739. 35:13spoke praise
  740. 35:16God praise
  741. 35:17[Applause]

  778. 37:31I think the attention of God is on his
  779. 37:34people and I think fivefold Ministry is
  780. 37:38a gift to his
  781. 37:41body and not the other way
  782. 37:46around boy y'all responded pretty good
  783. 37:48on that
  784. 37:49one all right sit
  785. 37:52down I learned a long time
  786. 37:55ago with a Keller there's Two
  787. 37:59Thrones there's a throne of
  788. 38:01righteousness and there's a throne of
  789. 38:04iniquity now if y'all let me get to
  790. 38:06where I'm going to go we're going to
  791. 38:07have Miracles
  792. 38:09tonight and
  793. 38:11so what determines what Throne rules in
  794. 38:14the
  795. 38:15church is the will of the
  796. 38:19people
  797. 38:21am when Moses comes down he reads to the
  798. 38:24people two or three times and every time
  799. 38:27they said we will hearken and obey the
  800. 38:30last time they said it guess what
  801. 38:31happens Moses and the elders 70 elders
  802. 38:34were caught
  803. 38:35up they were allowed to see into the
  804. 38:38heavens read it it's in there and they
  805. 38:39could see God's
  806. 38:41throne but they weren't released to the
  807. 38:44throne until the people
  808. 38:47said we will
  809. 38:50obey iniquity of course is lawlessness
  810. 38:53not just lawlessness it's you removing
  811. 38:56the law and inserting your
  812. 39:00own and so every time the man of God
  813. 39:02preaches in the pull pit preaches the
  814. 39:04word of God and you
  815. 39:06say Amen we're going to do it we're
  816. 39:10going to obey it what you're doing is
  817. 39:13you are establishing a throne of
  818. 39:16righteousness in that
  819. 39:19congregation but when you got a church
  820. 39:20full of people that want you preach the
  821. 39:22will of God and then they say I'm not
  822. 39:24going to do
  823. 39:26it
  824. 39:29there's only one verse in the Bible
  825. 39:30about
  826. 39:33it I heard that
  827. 39:36one what they don't understand is they
  828. 39:39are removing God's law and they are
  829. 39:42inserting their own therefore they are
  830. 39:43establishing within that congregation a
  831. 39:46throne of
  832. 39:49iniquity I'm not interested in the
  833. 39:51Throne of
  834. 39:53iniquity now the preacher can't decide
  835. 39:55that for
  836. 39:56you tell what the will of God is he can
  837. 39:58preach to you the word of God but it's
  838. 39:59up to you to decide so tonight we
  839. 40:04decide what Throne is going to be in
  840. 40:06this service
  841. 40:08tonight do we want him to be
  842. 40:11enthroned do we want there to be a
  843. 40:13throne of righteousness yes sir because
  844. 40:16righteousness means you're now in right
  845. 40:18standing and watch what I'm about to
  846. 40:20tell you I got to looking at the throne
  847. 40:22and then it dawned on me that the throne
  848. 40:26here but also always in the scripture
  849. 40:28the altar is in very close
  850. 40:32proximity to the
  851. 40:34throne so it dawned on me that the only
  852. 40:37way I could get to the
  853. 40:40throne I had to go by the
  854. 40:43altar because at the altar I'm getting
  855. 40:45rid of my will and I'm going over here
  856. 40:48to the throne to get his
  857. 40:50will does that make
  858. 40:53sense praise God
  859. 40:55yeah yeah so that's why it's extremely
  860. 40:59important so churches that don't have an
  861. 41:01altar people that don't have altar the
  862. 41:03best thing I can say is they become self
  863. 41:07willed
  864. 41:09self-willed and so this is uh something
  865. 41:12we need to get a hold of see brother uh
  866. 41:17bounds the fire
  867. 41:19falls at the
  868. 41:22altar but now I'm
  869. 41:25interested in the
  870. 41:28Throne I I get the altar but the
  871. 41:31throne so I got to look in the
  872. 41:34scripture and uh our text tells you that
  873. 41:38proceeding out of the
  874. 41:40throne is this River of
  875. 41:47Life well that got me this River this
  876. 41:52River you preached about this uh week or
  877. 41:55two ago at our Western District camp
  878. 41:57meeting this River so I got to looking
  879. 42:00at it and I realized the first place you
  880. 42:02find that river is
  881. 42:04Eden there's a river it's where God
  882. 42:07ruled this is where God reigned in this
  883. 42:10world a river it flowed out of Eden once
  884. 42:13it got out of Eden broke into what four
  885. 42:15of the rivers or whatever it is and so
  886. 42:18here you go then I noticed that that's
  887. 42:21the first place it's mentioned the
  888. 42:23second place that it's mentioned is in
  889. 42:24the Book of
  890. 42:25Ezekiel but the the river is now coming
  891. 42:28out of the
  892. 42:31temple so I've got Eden where a river
  893. 42:34proceeds out of I've got the temple
  894. 42:37where a river proceeds out of and I've
  895. 42:40got the
  896. 42:41throne where a river proceeds out of so
  897. 42:44I started saying it could be they're
  898. 42:48synonymous it could be we're talking
  899. 42:49about the same
  900. 42:51thing and wherever that river flows from
  901. 42:55that's where I want to find myself
  902. 42:58myself I want to get to the altar do
  903. 43:01what I got to do there in order to get
  904. 43:03to the throne because there's something
  905. 43:05proceeding out of the
  906. 43:09throne that's why the church has got to
  907. 43:12build this altar we've got to put
  908. 43:14ourselves on it we've got to get rid of
  909. 43:16all this stuff and then we've got to get
  910. 43:18to the throne of God where the will of
  911. 43:21God can be established but there's
  912. 43:23something that proceeds from the throne
  913. 43:26Stay With Me Now proceeds from the
  914. 43:29throne I got to hurry now this River
  915. 43:34zekiel talked about it and uh man it's
  916. 43:38interesting yall know the story ankled
  917. 43:43deep was it Knee Deep just thigh up
  918. 43:46finally over his head but where's it
  919. 43:48proceeding
  920. 43:49from it's coming from under the door of
  921. 43:52the
  922. 43:52temple the temple is where God ruled and
  923. 43:55reign in the Earth the Ark of the
  924. 43:58Covenant is basically his
  925. 44:02throne oh yeah so it's coming out from
  926. 44:05under the door of the temple and as it
  927. 44:08flows watch it as it flows out of the
  928. 44:12church it starts getting
  929. 44:14deeper and
  930. 44:16deeper and deeper and deeper and then
  931. 44:21it's got great fish and everything it
  932. 44:24touched except the myy stuff that turned
  933. 44:28to Salt it brought life to
  934. 44:33it yeah see your city needs
  935. 44:37life your neighbors need
  936. 44:42life I'm getting there needs
  937. 44:46life needs
  938. 44:48life now when you get to the throne that
  939. 44:52I talked about in The Book of Revelation
  940. 44:55there's some key statements there and I
  941. 44:57I want to make sure that I present this
  942. 44:59right there's some key statements there
  943. 45:02number one it's a River of Life clear as
  944. 45:05Crystal it flows down the street of that
  945. 45:08City one translation or one verse talks
  946. 45:11about that street is made of pure gold
  947. 45:14it is Purity so I am convinced that what
  948. 45:19that river runs on as his channel it
  949. 45:22boundaries is
  950. 45:24Purity it's where it flows
  951. 45:27the Old Testament talks about a Highway
  952. 45:29of Holiness there's nothing unclean
  953. 45:33there you got that first of all and then
  954. 45:36the next thing you have is you have the
  955. 45:40revelation of the throne and who's
  956. 45:43sitting on the
  957. 45:46throne I just can't see how people could
  958. 45:48ever find a trinity in the
  959. 45:53scripture because really think about it
  960. 45:56when you get to Revelation CH 22 if they
  961. 45:59are co-equal co-eternal and
  962. 46:03coexistent then I would think the other
  963. 46:06two would have a throne
  964. 46:10right amen but I don't see three
  965. 46:15Thrones I see one
  966. 46:17Throne I see one sitting upon the throne
  967. 46:21and that is the lamb and God
  968. 46:25Almighty there they're on that
  969. 46:28Throne so at the throne hear me at the
  970. 46:32throne is the
  971. 46:34revelation of the Oneness of
  972. 46:37God at the throne is the revelation of
  973. 46:40who the king is what Paul tell Timothy
  974. 46:42the only
  975. 46:43potentate the only wise God the only
  976. 46:46King even Jesus Christ this is what John
  977. 46:50was seeing in the vision that God was
  978. 46:51giv him he was sing the throne he s this
  979. 46:54River proceed out of the throne and on
  980. 46:56on the side of the river wherever it
  981. 46:58flow there's this tree and its leaves
  982. 47:00were the healing of the
  983. 47:04Nations and brother Starks I thought you
  984. 47:06was going to preach my
  985. 47:08sermon you talk about today at the table
  986. 47:11I was like get off of it get off of
  987. 47:16it now what's what happens next flows
  988. 47:20you got this River you got the tree you
  989. 47:22got
  990. 47:23healing and then I told you you've got
  991. 47:26these people over over here sees who's
  992. 47:28on the
  993. 47:29throne
  994. 47:31right they got his name in their
  995. 47:34foreheads and they're his
  996. 47:36servants now what in the world do you
  997. 47:38think happened to you when you took on
  998. 47:41his
  999. 47:43name in a covenant called
  1000. 47:48baptism you bear his
  1001. 47:53name so you know what I see in that I
  1002. 47:56see the this Throne I see this River I
  1003. 47:59see this healing and guess what I see I
  1004. 48:04see the the the climate of it it's the
  1005. 48:09apostolics people who know who he is and
  1006. 48:13bear his
  1007. 48:17name so I'm I'm just going to tell you
  1008. 48:19what I think I think if
  1009. 48:21anybody ought to have that river
  1010. 48:24flowing it ought to the
  1011. 48:28apostolics who has revelation of who he
  1012. 48:31is and we bear his
  1013. 48:42name I I I don't want to be little be
  1014. 48:45mean but I mean if you got three Thrones
  1015. 48:47which ones it flowing
  1016. 48:52from now everybody still
  1017. 48:55good I thought that would excite
  1018. 48:59you I'm talking about us apostolics of
  1019. 49:02course you got to get to the
  1020. 49:04throne right and once we understand at
  1021. 49:07the throne what's about to happen I'm
  1022. 49:08telling you brother Starks you're
  1023. 49:10exactly right there is about to be a
  1024. 49:12flow in a river that begins to move in
  1025. 49:14the world listen to me and wherever that
  1026. 49:17goes isn't it amazing that Jesus stood
  1027. 49:20on the last great day of the feast and
  1028. 49:21said If any man thirst let him come and
  1029. 49:24drink of me and I'll give you something
  1030. 49:27that's beyond that what you're pulling
  1031. 49:29out of a
  1032. 49:30well I'm telling you he was talking
  1033. 49:32about the spirit so that river that
  1034. 49:35river that flows to me is the Holy Ghost
  1035. 49:39it's the River of Life nobody sees more
  1036. 49:42people get the baptism of the Holy Ghost
  1037. 49:45than the Apostolic Church in the world
  1038. 49:48right
  1039. 49:50now my God they're getting the Holy
  1040. 49:53Ghost by the thousands right now why
  1041. 49:56because there's a flow of that River and
  1042. 49:59wherever that River touches it brings
  1043. 50:02life now I feel the help of the Holy
  1044. 50:04Ghost right now it brings life but watch
  1045. 50:07this it doesn't just bring life it
  1046. 50:10brings healing and the miraculous so if
  1047. 50:14anybody ought to be seeing people get
  1048. 50:16the Holy Ghost if anybody ought to be
  1049. 50:19seeing people that get healed or the
  1050. 50:21miraculous it ought to be people
  1051. 50:23standing at the throne knowing I know
  1052. 50:25who he is and I bear his name let it
  1053. 50:30flow let it
  1054. 50:32flow let it
  1055. 50:34flow just makeing sense to anybody here
  1056. 50:37tonight now hang on hang on remember one
  1057. 50:40River coming out of Eden and then it
  1058. 50:42breaks into rivers
  1059. 50:43right so let me ask you a question what
  1060. 50:47do you think Jesus meant when he said
  1061. 50:49and out of your
  1062. 50:53belly see you had a river flowing in
  1063. 50:59but it's
  1064. 51:01Rivers flowing
  1065. 51:05out oh I feel the Holy Ghost right now
  1066. 51:09see out of your belly shall flow a river
  1067. 51:11now it can't flow out of you unless he's
  1068. 51:17enthroned if he's enthroned in your life
  1069. 51:20and you've built that altar which I've
  1070. 51:22been preaching a long time about if you
  1071. 51:24got all that going there ought to be
  1072. 51:25something flowing out out of you rivers
  1073. 51:27of Living Water and everything that
  1074. 51:31touches I think that's why Jesus said
  1075. 51:33something like this and these signs
  1076. 51:35shall follow them that believe just let
  1077. 51:37it
  1078. 51:39flow it's kind of locking up for some
  1079. 51:46reason these signs should follow them
  1080. 51:48that believe right didn't say these
  1081. 51:50signs should follow the
  1082. 51:53celebrities or a certain class of apost
  1083. 51:56olic
  1084. 51:58preachers I realized a long time ago
  1085. 52:00some people only want you to pray for
  1086. 52:01them so they go brag about
  1087. 52:05it see here's the deal if you need a
  1088. 52:08drink of Living Water or you need a
  1089. 52:11miracle I shouldn't have to lay my hands
  1090. 52:14on you somebody on that Pew here tonight
  1091. 52:18ought to start saying spring up oh
  1092. 52:21well spring up oh
  1093. 52:24well spring up oh well
  1094. 52:28we're about to have quiet a flow of the
  1095. 52:30River of Life on this Pew and then it's
  1096. 52:33going to jump from that Pew over to that
  1097. 52:38[Applause]
  1098. 52:40Pew I think we're starting to see
  1099. 52:42something right
  1100. 52:44now all right sit down so I can finish
  1101. 52:46it and then it's yours literally I'm
  1102. 52:48going to give it to you here in just a
  1103. 52:50second now brother
  1104. 52:55Starks
  1105. 52:58how good and pleasant it is for
  1106. 53:02Brethren to
  1107. 53:04dwell
  1108. 53:06together in unity you know I think you
  1109. 53:10can be in unity but not be
  1110. 53:14together you can all be United for the
  1111. 53:17cause of Revival or harvest or whatever
  1112. 53:20but that don't mean we're together doing
  1113. 53:23it Unity is just you agreeing with the
  1114. 53:25will of God
  1115. 53:28basically oh that went over real
  1116. 53:30well you
  1117. 53:35know how good and pleasant is for
  1118. 53:38Brethren to dwell together in
  1119. 53:43unity
  1120. 53:44right like the ointment that flowed but
  1121. 53:47then he says and it's like the Dew that
  1122. 53:50descended Mount
  1123. 53:52Herman and
  1124. 53:54there there God commanded the
  1125. 53:59blessing and life forever
  1126. 54:04more see it settled on Mount Herman as
  1127. 54:10snow rain or Dew normally
  1128. 54:13snow and as it would melt into sin going
  1129. 54:17down that
  1130. 54:19mountain it would uh create a little
  1131. 54:24tributary little Trickle
  1132. 54:27then it would flow
  1133. 54:28down and then it would connect with
  1134. 54:31another
  1135. 54:32one now you know you could throw a
  1136. 54:35little rock or a stick or something in
  1137. 54:37front of one of those little
  1138. 54:39trickles and stop it Dam it
  1139. 54:43up but if you let
  1140. 54:46another
  1141. 54:49stream that's word I'm looking
  1142. 54:52for you let another one flow into it
  1143. 54:55guess what
  1144. 54:57you start creating a little more
  1145. 55:00momentum and a little more Force tell
  1146. 55:04you exactly what the psalmist
  1147. 55:06meant and then it connects with another
  1148. 55:08one and then it connects with another
  1149. 55:11one and then it just starts removing all
  1150. 55:13the barriers and it starts removing all
  1151. 55:16the
  1152. 55:17hindrances because that thing is
  1153. 55:21descending and it's getting stronger all
  1154. 55:24the way down until when you get to the
  1155. 55:28base of Mount Herman you now have the
  1156. 55:32mouth of the Jordan River and the Jordan
  1157. 55:36River is what brings
  1158. 55:39life to that whole land is the Jordan
  1159. 55:43River and the psalmist said it don't
  1160. 55:47start as a river it starts up there on
  1161. 55:50the top just a little
  1162. 55:52trickle but as it
  1163. 55:55connects and as it
  1164. 55:58unifies it gets stronger and stronger
  1165. 56:03and stronger until there's such a flow
  1166. 56:06you can't stop
  1167. 56:14it that is the power of
  1168. 56:20unity now I I felt a little nudg in my
  1169. 56:23spirit here a while back tonight and
  1170. 56:25this I want say this and just just take
  1171. 56:29it we are very strong against
  1172. 56:33homosexuality and we believe that it is
  1173. 56:36an
  1174. 56:39Abomination we do now I've had people
  1175. 56:42show up and say eating crawfish is an
  1176. 56:45Abomination let them show up and quote
  1177. 56:47that to me all you Christians eating
  1178. 56:49crawl fish you're an Abomination well
  1179. 56:52there's some differences because
  1180. 56:53crawfish read the scripture it's an
  1181. 56:55abomination to
  1182. 56:58you that's what it says it's an
  1183. 57:00Abomination to them but this other is an
  1184. 57:03Abomination unto
  1185. 57:05God and so we're real quick to it's an
  1186. 57:10Abomination let me tell you something
  1187. 57:11else that an Abomination you ready for
  1188. 57:14it
  1189. 57:16he that
  1190. 57:18Seth
  1191. 57:21Discord
  1192. 57:23among the Brethren is is an
  1193. 57:29Abomination
  1194. 57:31homosexuality is Discord in
  1195. 57:35nature the others Discord in the
  1196. 57:38Brotherhood and it you're not going to
  1197. 57:40like this one it's going to sting but it
  1198. 57:43all has the same root
  1199. 57:46system so you got to be extremely
  1200. 57:48careful when God is trying to bring
  1201. 57:51something together in
  1202. 57:53unity and you get a little beef
  1203. 57:56or it's not going your way Burger
  1204. 58:02King and you're
  1205. 58:04upset nobody listen to

  1210. 58:23Unity some self-will
  1211. 58:27person that doesn't have the throne or

  1290. 1:02:07they just blow it all on clothes and
  1291. 1:02:09stuff and all and and and then you got
  1292. 1:02:12Discord and it always tries to happen
  1293. 1:02:16just about the
  1294. 1:02:19time a Revival or a
  1295. 1:02:22harvest or a real flow of the Holy Ghost

  1297. 1:02:27start somebody's going to find
  1298. 1:02:30something normally they find something
  1299. 1:02:32to fight
  1300. 1:02:34about man I've been an evangelist preach
  1301. 1:02:36for years and I I've been in churches
  1302. 1:02:38where they were fighting over some of
  1303. 1:02:40the most ridiculous
  1304. 1:02:42stuff one of them was the color of the
  1305. 1:02:54carpet seriously the color of the
  1306. 1:02:58carpet one of them was about the kind of
  1307. 1:03:00car the preacher was
  1308. 1:03:02driving I mean on and on and on it goes
  1309. 1:03:05now I'm just going to tell you now
  1310. 1:03:07you're you're on the general board you
  1311. 1:03:08straighten this out but it's not just in
  1312. 1:03:11local churches it's in our organization
  1313. 1:03:13just about the time we're getting ready
  1314. 1:03:15to have a harvest somebody is going to
  1315. 1:03:18find something to fight
  1316. 1:03:20[Applause]
  1317. 1:03:22about and brother we'll destroy the
  1318. 1:03:24whole Harvest
  1319. 1:03:26woo I feel a I feel a strong word right
  1320. 1:03:30now the Old Testament said if two men
  1321. 1:03:33are striving and by chance one of them
  1322. 1:03:36hit a woman that's pregnant and they
  1323. 1:03:38caused that baby to be born blind or
  1324. 1:03:41crippled or dead it is not the mother
  1325. 1:03:45that determines the punishment it is the
  1326. 1:03:47father of the child that determines the
  1327. 1:03:50punishment and it's eye for eye limb for
  1328. 1:03:53Limb and life for life you better be
  1329. 1:03:56careful when your church or District or
  1330. 1:03:59organization is pregnant with promise
  1331. 1:04:02and then you and another brother decide
  1332. 1:04:04you want to find something to fight
  1333. 1:04:06about and you hit this thing and cause
  1334. 1:04:08it to be aborted let me tell you it
  1335. 1:04:10ain't going to be an organization or a
  1336. 1:04:12local church that's going to determine
  1337. 1:04:14your punishment it's going to be the
  1338. 1:04:16father and the one that the seed of the
  1339. 1:04:18promise that came from put up your
  1340. 1:04:22sword I said put up your
  1341. 1:04:24sword
  1342. 1:04:26you got to decide in life you want to
  1343. 1:04:29hold a sword in your hand or a
  1344. 1:04:32sickle but you can't hold
  1345. 1:04:36both all right sit down I'm
  1346. 1:04:43done
  1347. 1:04:48maybe Miracles going to happen here
  1348. 1:04:52tonight cuz here is I know Miracle going
  1349. 1:04:54to happen I just believe that you guys
  1350. 1:04:57are going to believe what I'm
  1351. 1:05:00preaching
  1352. 1:05:02yeah and this is what I
  1353. 1:05:04see I yeah I see y'all
  1354. 1:05:11connecting you ever notice camp meeting
  1355. 1:05:15conferences and all it's just like
  1356. 1:05:17there's a special anointing
  1357. 1:05:20there that's where God commands the
  1358. 1:05:24blessing
  1359. 1:05:26you can't be
  1360. 1:05:29autonomous we we we struggle with that
  1361. 1:05:31in the church so much I'm autonomous I
  1362. 1:05:35don't need anybody else let me help you
  1363. 1:05:37with that you got a little
  1364. 1:05:40Trickle and you may be saturating a
  1365. 1:05:43small area but then all of a sudden a
  1366. 1:05:46limb falls out of a tree and blocks it
  1367. 1:05:50and you're fighting against something
  1368. 1:05:52that you can't break
  1369. 1:05:54through now you want want to stay by
  1370. 1:05:56yourself

  1377. 1:06:11creating something stronger and what
  1378. 1:06:13maybe one could move because after all
