WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.560 The grass fades and withers, but his word will remain forever. 2 00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.040 So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth. 3 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.480 It shall not return to me void. 4 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.200 In other words, God's words don't fall to the ground. 5 00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:14.680 And it doesn't speak and it just bounces back with nothing. 6 00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:16.680 His word is full of creative power. 7 00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:22.120 In fact, inherent in God's word is the ability to fulfill itself. 8 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:24.160 So if God said it, that settles it, 9 00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.320 and you can take it to the bank, amen. 10 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.680 Welcome to the City Light Church podcast. 11 00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:32.040 Thanks for joining us today, as we look into God's word 12 00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:35.680 and discover the hope and truth that He has for us. 13 00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:38.000 If you want to connect with City Light Church, 14 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.520 feel free to visit us at citylightnyc.com. 15 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.840 That's citylightnyc.com. 16 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.360 Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe 17 00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:50.560 that the power of the Holy Spirit is already working 18 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.600 in our hearts and minds. 19 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.520 As you listen to today's teaching, 20 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.520 remember that you are deeply loved by God. 21 00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.920 That you are surrounded by His grace 22 00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:02.840 and that He has a real hope and a future for you. 23 00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:09.720 Well, last week, I was ministering on the power of faith, 24 00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:12.360 the force of faith, the substance that's faith, 25 00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:15.600 I want to continue in that vein. 26 00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:20.600 Because I want to be like my hero, Jesus Christ, 27 00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:24.400 who is the ultimate faith preacher, 28 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.680 who went about everywhere declaring the kingdom, 29 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:28.480 calling people to repentance, 30 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.080 but yes, teaching constantly about faith 31 00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:34.440 and how you receive everything by faith 32 00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:36.800 and how to grow in faith. 33 00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:39.800 It's your faith that goes into the invisible spirit realm 34 00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:41.840 and pulls down the promises of God 35 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:43.720 to where you need them right here on earth. 36 00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:46.040 It's your faith that's gonna get you through. 37 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.000 Faith ceases the promises of God. 38 00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:52.880 And we are a receiving church, amen? 39 00:01:53.720 --> 00:01:57.880 Not just a talking church, not just a praying church, 40 00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:00.640 because it's possible for a Christian to be praying 41 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.520 and praying, but not receiving. 42 00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:08.120 And so that's when we have to look at the man in the mirror 43 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:09.120 and make a change. 44 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.040 He-he, that's when we go, 45 00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:14.120 hey, something's wrong here. 46 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.560 Prayers shouldn't just be this thing 47 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.480 where we're talking to God and maybe, 48 00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:20.640 maybe just maybe once in a while, 49 00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:22.960 like one out of 50, he answers, 50 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.080 no, prayers should be answered, constantly and consistently. 51 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.760 Jesus said, my father is glorified when you ask 52 00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:34.160 what you will and it's done for you when you have 53 00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:36.800 in John 15, he's talking about prayer fruit. 54 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.840 When you are fruitful in your prayer life, 55 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.160 that means you're asking and receiving, asking and receiving. 56 00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:45.440 That's how the dynamic Christian life should be. 57 00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:48.080 God is actually glorified by that, amen? 58 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.240 Yet a lot of Christians are like those Christians 59 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.320 that prayed for Peter, the most hilarious example 60 00:02:53.320 --> 00:02:54.200 in the Bible. 61 00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:56.680 Peter's put in prison, Christians are praying for him 62 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.840 to be supernaturally released from prison. 63 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.560 He gets supernaturally released. 64 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:02.960 Change, drop. 65 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:03.800 He's released from prison. 66 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.600 He goes to the prayer meeting where they're praying for him 67 00:03:06.600 --> 00:03:08.640 to get supernaturally released 68 00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:10.800 and a little girl opens and goes, hey, it's Peter. 69 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.240 And you know what the rest of the group says? 70 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:13.760 No, that's just his angel. 71 00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:15.080 What? 72 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.600 In other words, they didn't even believe fully 73 00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:19.280 what they were asking for. 74 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.840 The prayer got answered and they go, it's an angel. 75 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.600 That's like you're praying for break through what happens 76 00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:26.000 and you go, oh, that was a coincidence. 77 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:26.840 No! 78 00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:29.920 That's how it should be. 79 00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:32.440 Your prayers are getting answered. 80 00:03:32.440 --> 00:03:33.440 Hallelujah. 81 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.560 So the better we get at digging into God's word, 82 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.680 knowing God, knowing the person of Jesus, 83 00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:45.240 the better we get at receiving. 84 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.280 And I want to just today lead you in some foundational, 85 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.600 some fundamental truths that'll help you receive 86 00:03:52.600 --> 00:03:54.240 when you pray. 87 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:59.240 So let's begin with 1 John 5 verses 14 through 15. 88 00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:03.360 We're talking about the promises of God this morning. 89 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.440 All the promises of God are yes and amen in Christ. 90 00:04:08.600 --> 00:04:11.200 The Bible says in Peter that we've been given 91 00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:14.920 these exceedingly great and precious promises. 92 00:04:14.920 --> 00:04:19.240 There's over 7,000 promises in the Bible that are for you 93 00:04:20.440 --> 00:04:22.920 that show you the heart of God, the character of God, 94 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:26.200 the nature of God, that when you know these promises, 95 00:04:26.200 --> 00:04:28.160 you have confidence when you pray 96 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.120 because God's will is revealed. 97 00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:32.560 1 John 5, 14 says this, 98 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.680 now this is the confidence, shout confidence. 99 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.360 This is the confidence that we have in him. 100 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.880 See when you pray, you need to have confidence. 101 00:04:43.640 --> 00:04:45.640 But what's your confidence in? 102 00:04:45.640 --> 00:04:48.200 A lot of people don't have confidence when they pray. 103 00:04:48.200 --> 00:04:49.040 Why not? 104 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.400 Because they're wondering, I wonder what God thinks about this. 105 00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:54.720 Does he really want me to have this? 106 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:55.680 I don't know. 107 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.120 But if he gave you a promise that he wants you to have it, 108 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.920 then the answer is yes and amen. 109 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.960 And with over 7,000 promises, 110 00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:07.240 everything you're going through right now, 111 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.280 you say it's 2025, it doesn't matter. 112 00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:10.960 Everything you're going through right now 113 00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:13.200 is covered by the word of God. 114 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.680 It's in there. 115 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.560 You just gotta be willing to go dig in. 116 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.720 Search the promises of God and then claim them 117 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:23.080 and apply them for yourself. 118 00:05:23.080 --> 00:05:24.840 If you're lacking confidence in prayer, 119 00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:27.680 it's because you don't have a promise from the word. 120 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.960 People don't doubt God's ability. 121 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.200 They doubt his willingness. 122 00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:37.920 Last week we saw that with a leopard in Matthew 8. 123 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.760 He comes up to Jesus, I picture him stuttering. 124 00:05:40.760 --> 00:05:42.120 Not confident. 125 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:43.440 I mean, you know he wasn't confident. 126 00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:45.360 He wasn't even allowed to be that close to Jesus. 127 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:50.360 He should have been at a leopard colony, but he heard the crowd. 128 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.680 He heard the miracles and he comes up to Jesus 129 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.480 and he says, Lord, if, if, see that conditional if, 130 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:02.000 the doubt, if you are willing, you can make me clean. 131 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.680 He's not doubting Jesus' ability. 132 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.800 He's doubting Jesus' willingness. 133 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.400 And Jesus turns about and says, I am willing. 134 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.600 Be thou made clean. 135 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.040 So you need that kind of confidence 136 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.480 and it only comes from the Word of God 137 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.240 from a promise in his Word 138 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.200 that speaks to your special situation, 139 00:06:20.200 --> 00:06:23.480 your unique and particular situation. 140 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.760 Now this is the confidence that we have in him 141 00:06:25.760 --> 00:06:30.320 that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 142 00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:31.960 Keep that verse up there, please. 143 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.200 If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 144 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.640 I have seen that scripture by religious people 145 00:06:42.640 --> 00:06:46.440 absolutely butchered and, you know, 146 00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:48.240 religious people don't like answered prayer. 147 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:49.760 They never get their prayers answered. 148 00:06:49.760 --> 00:06:52.320 They don't want you to get your prayers answered. 149 00:06:52.320 --> 00:06:53.960 And so when you talk about how good God is 150 00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:55.400 and how we answer his prayer, 151 00:06:55.400 --> 00:06:57.160 or maybe you're frustrated that a certain prayer 152 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.560 is taking time to manifest, they'll, well, you know, 153 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.440 if you pray according to, you know, 154 00:07:02.440 --> 00:07:05.160 sometimes what you want is not what God wants, 155 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:06.640 but what God wants is better. 156 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:08.280 So you just, what? 157 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.480 There's always a way to spin this thing. 158 00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:16.960 I know what he wants because his word is his will. 159 00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:20.560 If he says in his word, he wants me to prosper, 160 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.160 that's what he wants. 161 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.040 If it says in his word, he wants all men everywhere 162 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.480 to be saved, that's what he wants. 163 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.400 If he says in his word, the gift of the Holy Ghost 164 00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:32.960 is for everyone, that's what he wants. 165 00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:35.280 If he says in his word, by his stripes, 166 00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:38.360 you were healed, that's what he wants. 167 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.680 If he says in his word, he's the good shepherd, 168 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.800 he will lead you, he will guide you, he will protect you, 169 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:48.800 he will provide for you, that's what he wants, hallelujah. 170 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.520 So we gotta get rid of this manby, 171 00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:53.480 panby, Mickey Mouse Christianity, 172 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:54.960 where we're tiptoeing around God. 173 00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:56.760 Well, I don't know what you want. 174 00:07:56.760 --> 00:07:59.360 No, nevertheless, not my will, but your will be done. 175 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.440 You have to know his will and his word is his will. 176 00:08:02.440 --> 00:08:07.440 Hallelujah, hallelujah. 177 00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:13.160 So we're gonna be receivers of his promises. 178 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.480 And we're gonna be like a good son or good daughter 179 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:21.240 and say, Dad, you said, you got it, listen, 180 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.080 the scripture actually says that God says 181 00:08:23.080 --> 00:08:28.080 that put me in remembrance, put me in remembrance. 182 00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:29.960 You're going to the Father with a promise 183 00:08:29.960 --> 00:08:31.520 when you're putting him in remembrance 184 00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:33.440 of what he promised he would do, 185 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.480 and he will back his word up every time. 186 00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:38.760 Hallelujah. 187 00:08:38.760 --> 00:08:40.720 Isaiah 55-11. 188 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:47.080 So shall my word, God's word is holy. 189 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:48.640 It's unbreakable. 190 00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:50.840 Heaven and earth will pass away, 191 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.800 but his word will never pass away. 192 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:58.280 The flowers grow old, the grass fades and withers, 193 00:08:58.280 --> 00:09:00.080 but his word will remain forever. 194 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.480 So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth, 195 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.880 it shall not return to me void. 196 00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:12.200 In other words, God's words don't fall to the ground. 197 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.440 And it doesn't speak and it just bounces back with nothing. 198 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.240 His word is full of creative power. 199 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.440 In fact, inherent in God's word is the ability 200 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.760 to fulfill itself. 201 00:09:24.760 --> 00:09:26.840 So if God said it, that settles it, 202 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.000 then you can take it to the bank, amen. 203 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.880 You show me a person who receives, in prayer, 204 00:09:33.880 --> 00:09:37.040 consistently, I'll show you somebody who's in the word 205 00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:39.960 and bringing the word of God back to him in prayer. 206 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.080 You show me somebody who's frustrated 207 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.000 and not receiving in prayer. 208 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.480 I'll show you somebody who's not in the word 209 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.080 and the word is not alive in them. 210 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.320 And their prayer is more emotional. 211 00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:56.480 And so they talk to God about the problem, 212 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.440 but never ever bring the word into the problem. 213 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.960 And there's a time sometimes. 214 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.400 You know, you just want to talk to your best friend, Jesus. 215 00:10:04.400 --> 00:10:06.560 So it takes on an emotional component. 216 00:10:06.560 --> 00:10:08.120 There's a place for that. 217 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.200 But that's not the prayer of petition. 218 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:11.800 That's not when you need a breakthrough. 219 00:10:11.800 --> 00:10:13.320 Look, I've had it rough sometimes 220 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.800 and I go to the Lord and go, Lord, 221 00:10:15.800 --> 00:10:18.960 oh, it's tough right now. 222 00:10:19.920 --> 00:10:21.240 Lord, I need to feel your presence 223 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.360 and I'm just talking to him like to a friend. 224 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:24.280 That's wonderful. 225 00:10:25.280 --> 00:10:28.240 But that has to stop at some point. 226 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.560 And then when you need a prayer answer, 227 00:10:30.560 --> 00:10:31.920 that's the prayer of petition. 228 00:10:31.920 --> 00:10:33.400 When you're asking him, 229 00:10:33.400 --> 00:10:35.760 approach him on the basis of his word. 230 00:10:37.880 --> 00:10:40.040 I'll demonstrate in just a little bit. 231 00:10:40.040 --> 00:10:42.240 I shall not return to me void, 232 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.960 but it shall accomplish what I please. 233 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.760 And it shall prosper. 234 00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:49.920 God's word, prosperous. 235 00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:53.120 It creates this ground that I'm standing on, 236 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:54.360 this earth that we live in, 237 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:55.640 the universe that we behold, 238 00:10:55.640 --> 00:10:59.240 all created with the word of God, his word, prosperous. 239 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.080 It will prosper the thing for which I sent it. 240 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:02.920 Amen. 241 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.600 Let's go to Jeremiah 112. 242 00:11:11.640 --> 00:11:12.720 Then the Lord said to me, 243 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:17.720 you have seen well for I am ready to perform my word. 244 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.080 The Old King James says, 245 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.880 I watch over my word to perform it. 246 00:11:24.880 --> 00:11:29.640 Please note, he doesn't watch over my words to perform them. 247 00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:32.400 He watches over his word to perform it. 248 00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:34.840 The only time he watches over my words, 249 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:38.000 to perform my words is when I'm echoing his word 250 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.120 and speaking his word. 251 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:39.960 Amen. 252 00:11:42.400 --> 00:11:43.560 I feel like I hit an herb there 253 00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:46.040 when I talked about emotional praying. 254 00:11:46.040 --> 00:11:47.200 If there's anything I love, 255 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:48.040 I love hitting an herb. 256 00:11:48.040 --> 00:11:48.880 Whew, that's how it, 257 00:11:48.880 --> 00:11:50.720 that's what juices me up for a Sunday. 258 00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:59.120 He's your father. 259 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:00.040 He loves you. 260 00:12:02.520 --> 00:12:05.480 But sometimes you gotta know how to do business with God 261 00:12:07.280 --> 00:12:08.520 and just coming up to him, 262 00:12:08.520 --> 00:12:11.240 weepy, defeated, or just talking. 263 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.320 There's so much talking in prayer, too much sometimes. 264 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.680 This is why, when we have 21 days of prayer and fasting, 265 00:12:18.680 --> 00:12:20.760 I did, I feel like one of the most unholy ghost things 266 00:12:20.760 --> 00:12:21.600 I could have done. 267 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.120 I said a two minute limit on prayer. 268 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.240 It's like, Lord, please, can I do this? 269 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.400 He said, yeah. 270 00:12:27.400 --> 00:12:28.920 Lord, I don't want to quench you. 271 00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:31.000 I'm sure if you move, somebody will go on, 272 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.920 but because if you let your average believer go on in prayer, 273 00:12:34.920 --> 00:12:38.440 good Lord, they'll go on for 15, 20 minutes. 274 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:42.320 They'll start up and say, hey, pray for me, I need more water. 275 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:43.600 I got half a bottle, can you pray? 276 00:12:43.640 --> 00:12:45.120 Yes, water, okay. 277 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.360 Then they're praying for missionaries 278 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:47.600 in China five minutes later. 279 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.600 They'll go around the world six times. 280 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.760 And we all have to pretend we're not bored out of our mind. 281 00:12:53.760 --> 00:12:55.320 We all have to play nice. 282 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.280 And we all have to be like, mm-hmm, yes. 283 00:12:57.280 --> 00:12:59.000 Meanwhile, we're all thinking the same thing. 284 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.960 I don't even know how to agree with you anymore 285 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.320 because you're all over the map. 286 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.720 Is it any wonder people aren't getting their prayers 287 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.200 answered when they're like that? 288 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.000 In fact, Jesus talked about that. 289 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.920 He himself, this isn't my theory. 290 00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:15.560 He said, the pagans, the heathen, the unbelievers, 291 00:13:15.560 --> 00:13:18.480 they think they'll be heard for they're much speaking. 292 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.000 There are many words, don't be like them. 293 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.680 Sometimes the most powerful prayers 294 00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:26.160 are the concise, short ones, 295 00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:28.760 but they're underguarded with the word. 296 00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:31.480 22nd prayer, full of the word of God, 297 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:36.000 beats a half hour jubber jabber all over the place any day. 298 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.960 Oh, amen, good, I'm glad I hit that nerve. 299 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:40.280 I didn't hit it in the first service 300 00:13:40.280 --> 00:13:42.720 so they didn't hear that, but you heard it. 301 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.160 Is there anyone right now? 302 00:13:45.160 --> 00:13:46.800 I want to pray for you. 303 00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:48.960 You're going through a crisis right now. 304 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.920 You need a miracle. 305 00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:52.080 Just raise your hand. 306 00:13:58.640 --> 00:14:01.280 All right, just come up here, please. 307 00:14:03.520 --> 00:14:05.080 What is the issue? 308 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:07.400 Financial breakthrough. 309 00:14:07.400 --> 00:14:08.920 Financial breakthrough. 310 00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:10.440 Okay. 311 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.560 Does anybody have any scriptures? 312 00:14:12.560 --> 00:14:14.640 He needs financial breakthrough. 313 00:14:14.640 --> 00:14:17.320 Now I can pray and go, oh, Father, 314 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:21.200 you know your son here, he needs some money 315 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:24.280 because this earth, you know, it runs on money. 316 00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:26.000 Can't wait to get to heaven because in heaven 317 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:29.320 we don't need money, but oh, God, we're on earth still. 318 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:30.320 We need money. 319 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.720 No, we're going to go in with the promises of God. 320 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.200 So who's got some promises of God 321 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:36.680 that have to do with finances? 322 00:14:36.680 --> 00:14:38.040 Tell me one, shout it out. 323 00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:43.120 An uppercut at the end. 324 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.280 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich 325 00:14:46.280 --> 00:14:48.480 and he adds no sorrow to it. 326 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:49.480 Who else? 327 00:14:51.280 --> 00:14:55.080 He loads us daily with benefits. 328 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:56.080 Anybody else? 329 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.120 Hallelujah. 330 00:15:07.520 --> 00:15:09.120 My God, that's a preaching voice. 331 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.120 No microphone. 332 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:13.120 Just right from the back, just like that. 333 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:14.120 Praise God. 334 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.680 Okay, we got three promises of God. 335 00:15:17.680 --> 00:15:19.440 Now, stretch your hands towards him 336 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:20.400 and we're going to pray. 337 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:24.160 Father, the name of Jesus, 338 00:15:24.160 --> 00:15:26.000 we come to you with your word. 339 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.920 Your word says that Jesus who was rich was made poor 340 00:15:29.920 --> 00:15:32.720 so that we could be made very rich. 341 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.560 Your word says, Lord, 342 00:15:35.560 --> 00:15:39.000 that you load us down daily with benefits 343 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.080 and the word of God, Lord, a promise to us 344 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.240 is that your blessing will make us rich 345 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.440 and unlike the even, 346 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.680 you don't add any sorrow to it. 347 00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:52.760 So we pray for our brother right now 348 00:15:52.760 --> 00:15:55.280 and we stand on your word. 349 00:15:55.280 --> 00:15:58.000 Oh, we stand on your promises 350 00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.920 that the mighty anointing of the Holy Ghost 351 00:15:59.920 --> 00:16:03.920 will come upon him and bring breakthrough, breakthrough. 352 00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:05.720 Move his environment around. 353 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.720 Change circumstances, open doors. 354 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:14.680 Multiplication in Jesus name. 355 00:16:15.640 --> 00:16:17.000 Hallelujah. 356 00:16:18.080 -->

And I said, who has a crisis? 361 00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:30.840 Because it's a real, if it's a real crisis, 362 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.480 you don't care that I'm doing it in public, you know? 363 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.120 When it's a social crisis, I don't want to be out there 364 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:37.960 open in front of everyone. 365 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.640 But when you're hanging by a thread, 366 00:16:40.640 --> 00:16:43.120 there were times I don't care, I'll run out naked. 367 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:44.720 I don't care, just help me, Lord. 368 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.080 I don't care how, who here? 369 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.080 Yes, come on. 370 00:16:51.640 --> 00:16:52.480 Amen. 371 00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:55.040 What's happening? 372 00:16:55.040

00:17:02.880 --> 00:17:04.320 because of family issues. 376 00:17:09.840 --> 00:17:11.600 That's why I came to him. 377 00:17:11.600 --> 00:17:13.920 I didn't really want heaven at 1617. 378 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.320 You're not really thinking about heaven so much. 379 00:17:16.320 --> 00:17:19.040 I just, my family life was a mess. 380 00:17:19.040 --> 00:17:22.440 And when he held me, the preacher held me to baptize me. 381 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:23.880 He said, what do you want the Lord to do for you? 382 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.360 I just said, my family, my family, you know, 383 00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:27.920 it was not good. 384 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:29.720 And the Lord came and he made it good. 385 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.520 He made it filled the family, my mom, my dad, my, 386 00:17:32.520 --> 00:17:35.160 with love and there's breakthrough for you. 387 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:36.800 Amen. 388 00:17:36.800 --> 00:17:39.720 All right, family anxiety. 389 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:40.680 Thank you for coming up. 390 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.200 We're gonna see, we're gonna see this thing turn around. 391 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.280 Family, give me some anxiety ones. 392 00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:47.640 I got the ones for family. 393 00:17:48.840 --> 00:17:51.920 Because we see whole houses getting saved in the Bible. 394 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.640 Noah's Ark wasn't for no's for his whole house. 395 00:17:55.560 --> 00:17:58.960 The Philippian jailer said, what must I do to be saved? 396 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.720 The response was believe on the Lord Jesus 397 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:02.360 and you will be saved you and your whole house. 398 00:18:02.360 --> 00:18:05.560 When God comes to rescue, he rescues the whole house. 399 00:18:05.560 --> 00:18:09.280 My parents, I had to hide the fact that I was getting baptized. 400 00:18:09.280 --> 00:18:11.280 I had to hide, you know, some kids hide the fact 401 00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:12.120 they're doing drugs. 402 00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:14.320 I had to hide the fact that I was going to church 403 00:18:14.320 --> 00:18:16.760 because they were so against me going to church. 404 00:18:16.760 --> 00:18:18.560 And then when I got saved like Domino's, 405 00:18:18.560 --> 00:18:19.960 they just fell one right after the other 406 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.720 because the Lord comes and rescues the house. 407 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.600 But for fear, do you know how many promises there are 408 00:18:26.600 --> 00:18:28.560 concerning fear in the Bible? 409 00:18:28.560 --> 00:18:30.360 I said there's 7,000 promises in the Word, 410 00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:32.000 specifically for fear. 411 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.640 365, you know what the Lord is saying? 412 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:37.560 January 1st, fear not. 413 00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:38.760 Second, fear not. 414 00:18:38.760 --> 00:18:40.400 January 3rd, fear not. 415 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:45.000 You got one for every day of the year. 416 00:18:45.760 --> 00:18:48.880 I've had anxiety, it makes no sense. 417 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.720 In fact, I leave and lower my voice a little bit as I'm so, 418 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.000 you know, when I had anxiety, I couldn't be around loud to it. 419 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.840 I had anxiety, I was on a movie. 420 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:58.960 I couldn't watch, I was on a plane. 421 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.000 I couldn't watch a movie. 422 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.480 It was a war movie. 423 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:05.760 And like 10 seconds, I'm like, I can't even see guns going off 424 00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:07.760 because I'd be ducking the airplane, you see. 425 00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:09.120 So I know the spirit. 426 00:19:10.040 --> 00:19:12.760 But the Bible says he has not given you a spirit of fear, 427 00:19:12.760 --> 00:19:15.920 but of power and of love and a sound mind. 428 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:17.880 Over and over again, he says fear not. 429 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.400 And then he says because, do you know what's on the other end 430 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:21.720 of the because? 431 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.360 He says fear not because I am with you. 432 00:19:24.360 --> 00:19:26.480 The number one reason not to fear 433 00:19:26.520 --> 00:19:28.200 is because he's with you. 434 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.040 What's your name? 435 00:19:29.040 --> 00:19:29.880 Nicole. 436 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:31.920 Nicole, stretch your hands towards Nicole. 437 00:19:33.040 --> 00:19:35.760 You've received Jesus as your Lord and Savior? 438 00:19:37.320 --> 00:19:38.160 Yeah. 439 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:41.560 Say that out loud, say Lord Jesus. 440 00:19:41.560 --> 00:19:42.560 Lord Jesus. 441 00:19:42.560 --> 00:19:43.800 You're my Lord and Savior. 442 00:19:43.800 --> 00:19:45.000 You're my Lord and Savior. 443 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.720 I put all my faith in trust in you. 444 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:48.800 I put all my faith in trust in you. 445 00:19:48.800 --> 00:19:53.800 In the name of Jesus, we pray for Nicole, 446 00:19:53.800 --> 00:19:56.320 release the anointing of God upon her, 447 00:19:56.320 --> 00:19:59.800 and we cancel Satan's plans over her life. 448 00:19:59.800 --> 00:20:03.080 This tormenting spirit of anxiety of fear, 449 00:20:03.080 --> 00:20:05.640 we break it in Jesus' name. 450 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:09.920 Command her mind to go into harmony and balance. 451 00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.600 Even her chemicals within her body 452 00:20:13.600 --> 00:20:16.080 be balanced in Jesus' name. 453 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:21.160 I even feel to just pray for strength to put the phone down. 454 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:24.640 That scrolling that increases anxiety, not decreases it. 455 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:28.520 But the Lord, the God of Peace, comes around you, 456 00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:32.160 removes that anxiety right off of you, 457 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.040 and we speak that household blessing upon you, 458 00:20:36.040 --> 00:20:40.240 that the peace of God, Nicole, the love of God, 459 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.800 will supernaturally flood your home in Jesus' name. 460 00:20:44.800 --> 00:20:46.160 Amen. 461 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:47.000 Amen. 462 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:48.360 Applause. 463 00:20:48.360 --> 00:20:50.520 Those are you sisters, Mark and Nicole. 464 00:20:51.520 --> 00:20:55.080 Surround her lover, minister to her. 465 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:01.360 We're gonna see you get far in the things of God. 466 00:21:01.360 --> 00:21:06.320 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. 467 00:21:07.760 --> 00:21:10.520 Now imagine if this is how whenever something came up, 468 00:21:10.520 --> 00:21:13.160 you prayed over your own life. 469 00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:15.080 This is how I cover my wife, my kids. 470 00:21:15.080 --> 00:21:17.240 This is how I pray for you. 471 00:21:17.280 --> 00:21:20.880 I don't come in with a bunch of emotional talk. 472 00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:24.200 It's gotta be the word, the word, 473 00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:26.760 because he watches over his word to perform it. 474 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.120 We have these exceeding great and precious promises. 475 00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.680 John 15, seven. 476 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.600 If you've been a part of our 21 days of prayer and fasting, 477 00:21:42.600 --> 00:21:45.200 you know this is our foundational verse. 478 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:50.200 Jesus said, if you abide in me and my words abide in you. 479 00:21:52.040 --> 00:21:56.720 You will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you. 480 00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:03.400 What's the condition on his word abiding in you? 481 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:09.680 So little word, little faith, little answers to prayer. 482 00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:14.960 Big word in you, big faith, big answers to prayer. 483 00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:17.840 So what's the hang up? 484 00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:22.160 I found the hang up typically is people don't want to dig into the scriptures. 485 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.760 And they don't want to do the work daily of memorizing the scriptures 486 00:22:25.760 --> 00:22:28.960 and bringing these scriptures up and putting the Lord and remembrance of them. 487 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:31.280 It's really mind-boggling. 488 00:22:31.280 --> 00:22:33.760 Some people are just like that. 489 00:22:33.760 --> 00:22:37.600 They can hear testimony after testimony of God answering prayers and a voice in their heads. 490 00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:38.800 Oh, that's just them. 491 00:22:38.800 --> 00:22:40.240 Oh, that's a coincidence. 492 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.200 Oh, they're just special. 493 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:42.080 They're favored by God. 494 00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.200 And if not you, though, your lot is just a sufferer. 495 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:47.200 And get one out of 30 of your prayers answered. 496 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:47.680 It's not. 497 00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:51.520 It's not. 498 00:22:53.120 --> 00:22:54.880 His word makes all the difference. 499 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.440 Have his words abiding you and you will ask what you desire 500 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:01.360 and it shall be done for you. 501 00:23:01.360 --> 00:23:02.800 First Timothy, 118. 502 00:23:05.520 --> 00:23:06.240 Hallelujah. 503 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:08.480 Paul is writing young pastor Timothy. 504 00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:14.400 He says, this charge I commit to you, son Timothy. 505 00:23:15.280 --> 00:23:22.000 According to the prophecies previously made concerning you that by them, by what? 506 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.920 The prophecies. 507 00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:27.040 Timothy had a legacy of faith. 508 00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:29.280 His mother had faith. 509 00:23:29.280 --> 00:23:30.320 The scripture says that. 510 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.320 His grandmother had faith. 511 00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:36.720 And Paul is saying, would these promises of God, these prophetic words? 512 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:41.040 And when it says prophetic words, the prophetic because there's so much 513 00:23:41.040 --> 00:23:43.440 pathetic and not prophetic going on today. 514 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:46.560 People, I say prophetic and some people say, 515 00:23:46.560 --> 00:23:50.560 don't mention prophetic because I was going to the restroom and some guy 516 00:23:50.560 --> 00:23:51.920 stopped me and gave me a word. 517 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.600 And no, that guy usheres, escorted him out wherever he is. 518 00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.840 We don't tolerate that guy. 519 00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:02.160 No parking lot prophets, no on the way to the bathroom prophets. 520 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:03.600 I'm talking about a real prophetic word. 521 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.160 And by the way, most of the prophetic words you'll receive in your life that 522 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.520 actually matter will be direct from the Lord to you. 523 00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:18.240 All the words that actually were life changing for me, destiny changing words, 524 00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.080 big events, the Lord spoke them to me. 525 00:24:22.080 --> 00:24:25.360 And then later somebody with a prophetic gift will come and they would confirm it. 526 00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:29.440 But the prophetic should always be confirmation, not information. 527 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:31.120 Amen. 528 00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:33.440 So there's these prophetic words that Timothy had. 529 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:34.480 We don't know what they were. 530 00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:38.480 But it was most likely having to do with the gift on his life, the calling on his life, 531 00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.800 the way that church that he's passering is supposed to go. 532 00:24:41.520 --> 00:24:46.800 Paul says that with these prophetic words by them, you may wage the good warfare. 533 00:24:48.320 --> 00:24:50.240 King James says, fight the good fight. 534 00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:52.400 Hallelujah. 535 00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:56.800 So what are the promises of God for? 536 00:24:57.840 --> 00:24:59.440 There's so that you can keep fighting. 537 00:24:59.840 --> 00:25:05.280 That's so you can remind the Lord and remind yourself, because often what tends to happen 538 00:25:05.280 --> 00:25:10.000 is after the Lord speaks something glorious to you, the opposite can happen. 539 00:25:11.040 --> 00:25:12.640 You're like, what is the Lord torturing me? 540 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:13.040 No. 541 00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:18.240 He gave you the word because he actually saw the opposite was going to happen. 542 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:24.480 So he gave you the word so you can use that word, that prophetic promise to get you through. 543 00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:27.920 Hallelujah. 544 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:30.000 You all with me? 545 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:37.600 There is the logos. 546 00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:41.920 That means I feel like whenever I do a Greek word, have the people check out. 547 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:43.440 No, you got Greek on me. 548 00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:44.400 It's all Greek to me. 549 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:45.280 But this is important. 550 00:25:45.280 --> 00:25:46.560 You have to distinguish. 551 00:25:46.560 --> 00:25:47.440 There is the logos. 552 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:48.640 That's the written word of God. 553 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:50.240 That's important. 554 00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:50.960 So important. 555 00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:51.280 Vital. 556 00:25:52.080 --> 00:25:56.240 In fact, if something doesn't line up with the written word of God, throw it away, discard it. 557 00:25:57.120 --> 00:25:59.600 The written logos, the word of God is vital. 558 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.240 That's when you read in the scriptures of promise. 559 00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.560 Like we just did when we prayed for those two people. 560 00:26:04.560 --> 00:26:06.240 You can take those promises to the bank. 561 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:09.440 But then on top of the logos is the ramah. 562 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:11.280 Ooh, the ramah. 563 00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:18.160 The ramah is not what God said, which is still valid, but not what he said 2,000 years ago. 564 00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:20.480 It's what he's saying right now. 565 00:26:21.120 --> 00:26:28.640 It's when he breathes on the word for your particular situation right now. 566 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:33.040 In fact, when Jesus said that we should not live by bread alone, 567 00:26:33.040 --> 00:26:37.360 but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, that's what the ramah is. 568 00:26:37.360 --> 00:26:40.320 It's the now proceeding fourth word of God. 569 00:26:41.040 --> 00:26:41.440 Amen. 570 00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:46.480 So there's several scriptures talking about finances. 571 00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.280 Several that I've stood on for many, many years. 572 00:26:51.120 --> 00:26:52.800 One of them I put on our offering envelope. 573 00:26:52.800 --> 00:26:55.760 Let them shout for joy and be glad that favor my righteous cause. 574 00:26:55.760 --> 00:26:58.800 Let them say continually let the Lord be magnified, 575 00:26:59.360 --> 00:27:02.000 who takes pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. 576 00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:09.040 But in May of 2023, not too long ago, I was puttering about in my kitchen. 577 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:13.360 And many of you know I've been in Bitcoin for a number of years. 578 00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:18.400 Not the OGs from 2009 or 2013, but 2019. 579 00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:25.520 And in May of 2023, it was the bear market still. 580 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:28.480 Nobody was talking about Bitcoin. 581 00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:31.920 You may not know this, but Bitcoin usually operates in four-year cycles. 582 00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:35.040 So we had a major breakout high in 2013. 583 00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:41.200 Many of you probably only heard about Bitcoin in 2017 when it had another major breakout high. 584 00:27:42.320 --> 00:27:46.080 Then in 2021, most of the world started to really take notice. 585 00:27:46.320 --> 00:27:50.960 At 2023, nobody even wanted to talk about it. 586 00:27:52.080 --> 00:27:54.800 Cause it had gone down and it wasn't in the news. 587 00:27:54.800 --> 00:27:57.360 If it wasn't in the news, it was a headline saying Bitcoin is dead. 588 00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:59.360 I'm puttering around the kitchen. 589 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.880 And I had been praying, but I wasn't praying when I was puttering around the kitchen. 590 00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.960 I don't think I was even thinking about Bitcoin. 591 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:11.920 But this plan just got downloaded into my heart in about five seconds. 592 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:13.200 It just crystallized. 593 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:20.320 And what I felt to do, which I hadn't done before, was purchase stock options. 594 00:28:21.040 --> 00:28:24.320 And a company called MicroStrategy, today's just strategy. 595 00:28:24.320 --> 00:28:26.080 This is just two years ago, not even. 596 00:28:26.080 --> 00:28:27.120 Where didn't even hit two years. 597 00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:35.680 Purchase far-out options two and a half years out. 598 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.520 And the reason why I felt like the Lord was coming to me and why I got so excited was 599 00:28:41.600 --> 00:28:42.880 it was the bear market. 600 00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:43.920 What does that mean? 601 00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:45.040 That's when you buy. 602 00:28:45.040 --> 00:28:48.080 If you want to make wealth, you don't buy when everybody's talking about it. 603 00:28:48.080 --> 00:28:51.200 If your Uber driver's talking about a particular stock, don't buy it. 604 00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:53.600 Your door, man, it's talking about Bitcoin. 605 00:28:53.600 --> 00:28:54.720 That's when you sell. 606 00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:56.960 Well, you don't actually ever sell Bitcoin, but you know what I mean. 607 00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:00.480 Now, you don't sell Bitcoin. 608 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.280 It's the most finite asset, the most precious asset on earth. 609 00:29:03.280 --> 00:29:03.840 You don't sell it. 610 00:29:03.840 --> 00:29:05.280 I've never sold actual Bitcoin. 611 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:11.120 But these options and stock shares with companies that are correlated and tied to 612 00:29:11.120 --> 00:29:15.680 Bitcoin, like micro-strategy, it's the single biggest corporate holder of Bitcoin and moves 613 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:16.960 right alongside with Bitcoin. 614 00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:22.000 So, I was at a place. 615 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.280 We were at a place in our life where we didn't have much money left. 616 00:29:25.280 --> 00:29:27.280 We had the Bitcoin, but we're not selling that. 617 00:29:27.280 --> 00:29:29.040 We put a down payment on a house. 618 00:29:29.040 --> 00:29:32.800 This is from the big bull market of 2020-2021. 619 00:29:32.800 --> 00:29:34.480 And we had a little chunk left. 620 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.760 And I went all in. 621 00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:37.680 I mean, all in. 622 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:39.360 I mean, I didn't have next month's mortgage. 623 00:29:39.360 --> 00:29:41.040 I went all in. 624 00:29:41.040 --> 00:29:44.640 By the way, this is not financial advice. 625 00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:50.080 And I'd never done something so reckless before. 626 00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:51.360 But I just sensed. 627 00:29:51.360 --> 00:29:52.960 And I did some napkin math. 628 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.800 I said, look, Bitcoin does what I believe it's going to do. 629 00:29:56.800 --> 00:30:00.640 In two years' time, this will be a 5,000 percent increase. 630 00:30:01.600 --> 00:30:03.120 Now, that's not too shabby. 631 00:30:03.120 --> 00:30:05.840 People will do anything these days for 9 percent annual. 632 00:30:06.800 --> 00:30:10.720 And at 9 percent, you're not even beating the money printer. 633 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:14.400 Because of the money printer, inflation is at 9 percent. 634 00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:16.560 They'll lie and tell you it's 4, 5, or 6 percent. 635 00:30:16.560 --> 00:30:17.040 It's not. 636 00:30:17.840 --> 00:30:19.760 It's closer to 9 every year. 637 00:30:19.760 --> 00:30:21.760 Our dollar is devalued by 9 percent. 638 00:30:21.760 --> 00:30:25.200 Your purchasing power next year will be 9 percent if it's all in the US dollar. 639 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:28.720 Yes, I'm preaching a sermon still. 640 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:29.360 Bear with me. 641 00:30:29.360 --> 00:30:35.920 So, I go all in. 642 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:38.560 You know what happens immediately after? 643 00:30:39.280 --> 00:30:41.680 I'm down by 50 percent. 644 00:30:42.800 --> 00:30:44.880 Now, I did the napkin math. 645 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:47.360 What if Bitcoin does this? 646 00:30:47.360 --> 00:30:49.840 What will strategy do in my options? 647 00:30:51.040 --> 00:30:52.560 And it was 5,000 percent. 648 00:30:52.560 --> 00:30:54.640 And I went to the Lord about it. 649 00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:57.360 And I said, Lord, I mean, I started giggling when I saw the number. 650 00:30:58.320 --> 00:31:02.000 Because it turned into millions of dollars on paper. 651 00:31:03.520 --> 00:31:04.880 And I'm like, Lord, could this be? 652 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.400 And I hear in my spirit, it will be so. 653 00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:11.840 Just like, it will be so. 654 00:31:11.840 --> 00:31:13.440 I'm like, oh, no, no, no, no. 655 00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:14.080 That's just me. 656 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:16.640 Because I want this to be so, so bad. 657 00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:18.480 It's the voice in my head. 658 00:31:19.120 --> 00:31:20.880 I'm like, I can't play these kind of games. 659 00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:22.240 This is my life that's on the line. 660 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:24.160 And now I'm 50 percent down. 661 00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:25.600 Lord, will this really happen? 662 00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:27.760 And I hear it will be just like that. 663 00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:29.280 It will be so. 664 00:31:30.080 --> 00:31:31.680 Over and every day I come to my hearing. 665 00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:32.160 It will be so. 666 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:33.360 Now, let me tell you something. 667 00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:34.160 I'd never heard. 668 00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:35.680 Sometimes you hear silence from the Lord. 669 00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:36.560 I'd ask them. 670 00:31:36.560 --> 00:31:38.000 In 2020, 2021, 671 00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:41.120 Lord, will Bitcoin go to a 400,000? 672 00:31:41.120 --> 00:31:41.920 Silence. 673 00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:42.640 I didn't hear enough. 674 00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:43.200 Just silence. 675 00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:44.320 I'm like, Lord, come on. 676 00:31:44.320 --> 00:31:46.480 All I need is a thumbs up from you. 677 00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:48.000 All I need is a word, nothing. 678 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.120 But this time I hear it will be so. 679 00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:52.320 It will be so. 680 00:31:52.320 --> 00:31:53.760 Over and over again, it will be so. 681 00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:57.840 In September, I'm down by 50 percent. 682 00:31:57.840 --> 00:32:00.560 Then came up tober. 683 00:32:00.560 --> 00:32:03.680 It's October, but the Bitcoiners call it up tober. 684 00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:06.000 Because every single time in October, 685 00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.880 for whatever reason, Bitcoin tends to go up. 686 00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:10.960 Market calendars, October's half a year away. 687 00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:14.560 You'll remember this, by the way, in October of 25. 688 00:32:15.760 --> 00:32:16.800 You will watch. 689 00:32:18.560 --> 00:32:20.160 Not financial advice, by the way. 690 00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:27.440 Because in order for my math to work, 691 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:31.200 I bought micro-strategy when it was at $300. 692 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:34.720 The stock would then have to go to over $5,000. 693 00:32:35.360 --> 00:32:37.040 When have you ever seen a stock do that? 694 00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:40.480 That kind of increased. 695 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:42.560 I mean, it's happened, but it's very, very rare. 696 00:32:43.280 --> 00:32:44.640 And it did exactly that. 697 00:32:45.280 --> 00:32:47.600 It beat Tesla, it beat Nvidia, 698 00:32:47.600 --> 00:32:49.440 it beat Netflix, it beat Facebook, 699 00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:51.040 it beat Google, it beat Apple, 700 00:32:51.040 --> 00:32:52.880 it beat every single one of those. 701 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.400 And went in a span of a year and a half, 702 00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:57.360 from $300 to over $5,400. 703 00:32:57.360 --> 00:32:58.560 If you check the chart right now, 704 00:32:58.560 --> 00:32:59.760 you'll see the high was $540, 705 00:32:59.760 --> 00:33:02.640 because it got up so high, they did a 10 for one split. 706 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.040 Change my life forever. 707 00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:07.600 What's the point of this? 708 00:33:07.600 --> 00:33:09.440 The point of me telling you this, 709 00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:12.400 is that you have to get the now, 710 00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.520 Rema word of God, the promise for yourself. 711 00:33:16.560 --> 00:33:18.560 And you do that by spending time with him, 712 00:33:19.360 --> 00:33:20.800 worshipping him, 713 00:33:20.800 --> 00:33:22.880 getting his word inside of you, 714 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:25.120 getting comfortable with hearing his voice. 715 00:33:25.120 --> 00:33:26.560 And sometimes you will miss it. 716 00:33:27.120 --> 00:33:28.320 This is just how we go. 717 00:33:28.320 --> 00:33:30.320 Sometimes you will think it's his voice. 718 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:31.360 And it's not. 719 00:33:31.360 --> 00:33:32.400 It doesn't shouldn't happen often, 720 00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:34.640 but the older you get in the Lord, 721 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:36.000 the more mature you get, 722 00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:37.680 especially if you're willing to be humble 723 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:39.520 and confess when you miss it. 724 00:33:39.520 --> 00:33:40.800 And go back to the drawing board. 725 00:33:40.800 --> 00:33:41.920 You know, there are people, 726 00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:43.680 they'll just miss it for 20 years. 727 00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:44.480 And never everything, 728 00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:46.160 hmm, maybe I should adjust my strategy 729 00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:47.120 of hearing from the Lord. 730 00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:50.720 But then there are the mature ones that go, 731 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.880 okay, last time I thought it was God, 732 00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:53.840 it wasn't God, why? 733 00:33:53.840 --> 00:33:54.880 Oh, oh, that's right. 734 00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:56.240 I was emotional. 735 00:33:57.040 --> 00:33:58.160 I rushed into it. 736 00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:00.320 You know what I noticed? 737 00:34:00.320 --> 00:34:02.400 Whenever I thought it was God and it wasn't, 738 00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:05.200 it was because I was getting my info from up here. 739 00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:06.560 But God doesn't live in your brain. 740 00:34:06.560 --> 00:34:07.760 He's not the holy cranium. 741 00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:11.600 He's not the holy frontal cortex. 742 00:34:11.600 --> 00:34:13.280 You know, he's the Holy Spirit 743 00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:14.480 and he lives in your spirit. 744 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.120 And so learn how to distinguish 745 00:34:17.120 --> 00:34:18.880 from the voice up here to 746 00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:20.960 the still small voice, 747 00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:23.760 the gentle, your powerful whisper in your spirit. 748 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:27.120 And do not disqualify yourself from hearing from God. 749 00:34:27.120 --> 00:34:28.720 You are his sheep. 750 00:34:28.720 --> 00:34:30.400 You hear his voice. 751 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.960 That's what Jesus said in John chapter 10. 752 00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:34.960 My sheep hear my voice. 753 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:35.760 Hallelujah. 754 00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:38.160 Just say right now that's for me. 755 00:34:38.160 --> 00:34:39.520 Yes, it is. 756 00:34:39.520 --> 00:34:40.240 Yes, it is. 757 00:34:40.240 --> 00:34:42.160 You qualify to hear from the Lord. 758 00:34:42.720 --> 00:34:44.400 Hallelujah. 759 00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:47.360 Let's go to first Kings 18, verse 1. 760 00:34:51.680 --> 00:34:55.200 When I was down 50 percent and then it happened again 761 00:34:55.200 --> 00:34:56.400 in a few months, 762 00:34:56.400 --> 00:35:00.640 because Bitcoin will make you throw up 16 times. 763 00:35:02.160 --> 00:35:02.960 Right, Chris? 764 00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:05.840 It'll make you wake up with night sweats before it rewards you. 765 00:35:08.640 --> 00:35:10.640 You should wake up and I literally 766 00:35:10.720 --> 00:35:11.600 was driven to the ground, 767 00:35:11.600 --> 00:35:12.960 rolling around the floor with the Lord. 768 00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:13.360 Laugh. 769 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:16.640 Because I wanted to sound like I can't take 770 00:35:16.640 --> 00:35:17.600 the stress anymore. 771 00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:21.520 So what kept me going? 772 00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:27.440 With the promise of God and the prophetic word, 773 00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:29.760 I was able to wage a good warfare. 774 00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:33.200 You know, if you're going to make real money, 775 00:35:34.720 --> 00:35:37.040 there's institutions that want to shake you out. 776 00:35:37.040 --> 00:35:38.000 There's other entities. 777 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:39.040 They will do everything. 778 00:35:39.040 --> 00:35:40.400 They'll manipulate stock prices, 779 00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:41.360 manipulate the markets. 780 00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:43.520 Everything just to shake you out of your position. 781 00:35:43.520 --> 00:35:45.920 You want to be like a pit bull and get locked jaw 782 00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:48.640 and you can only do that and stay with it 783 00:35:48.640 --> 00:35:50.080 if you got a word from the Lord. 784 00:35:51.200 --> 00:35:51.920 Hallelujah. 785 00:35:54.560 --> 00:35:56.720 And it came to pass after many days. 786 00:35:58.320 --> 00:35:59.280 Is this helping anyone? 787 00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:00.640 Because it's so quiet in here. 788 00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:02.160 All right. 789 00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:09.680 And it came to pass after many days that the Lord, 790 00:36:10.240 --> 00:36:14.720 excuse me, that the word of the Lord came to Elijah 791 00:36:15.680 --> 00:36:17.040 in the third year saying, 792 00:36:17.040 --> 00:36:21.440 go present yourself to Ahab and I will send rain on the earth. 793 00:36:22.560 --> 00:36:24.560 It hadn't rained in years. 794 00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:28.640 In fact, God said to Elijah, 795 00:36:28.640 --> 00:36:30.480 go speak that there will be a drought. 796 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:32.080 And what did Elijah do? 797 00:36:32.080 --> 00:36:34.240 He just echoed the word of God. 798 00:36:34.240 --> 00:36:37.200 See, God needs his ambassadors on earth to speak his word. 799 00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:40.800 And Elijah called for a drought and there was one for years. 800 00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:42.960 Now God is saying, I'm sending rain again. 801 00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:45.120 That's my word to you, Elijah. 802 00:36:45.120 --> 00:36:46.640 That's my promise to you. 803 00:36:47.600 --> 00:36:49.920 People that haven't seen rain in so long, 804 00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:51.360 they forgot what rain looks like. 805 00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:53.360 That might be what your life looks like right now. 806 00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.520 I haven't seen the blessing a lot. 807 00:36:55.520 --> 00:36:58.320 God in so long, I forgot what it looks like. 808 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.280 Wait for that word. 809 00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:03.280 With the word of God, you can do anything. 810 00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:09.360 Go present yourself to Ahab and I will send rain on the earth. 811 00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.600 Now, let's just fast forward to verse 41. 812 00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:15.600 Then Elijah said to Ahab, 813 00:37:15.600 --> 00:37:17.120 go up, eat and drink, 814 00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:21.360 for there is the sound of abundance of rain. 815 00:37:22.080 --> 00:37:23.760 Was there a cloud in the sky? 816 00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:27.440 No, was there rain? 817 00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:28.640 No, there really wasn't. 818 00:37:28.640 --> 00:37:29.280 There was no rain. 819 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:33.280 In the desert, just that sun. 820 00:37:34.720 --> 00:37:36.880 But Elijah heard the sound of the abundance of rain. 821 00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:37.440 Where did he hear it? 822 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:38.400 With his natural ears? 823 00:37:39.120 --> 00:37:40.800 No, and the inside of his spirit. 824 00:37:41.680 --> 00:37:43.520 I wonder what you're hearing in your spirit. 825 00:37:44.240 --> 00:37:45.840 If you're not hearing anything in your spirit, 826 00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:47.040 you got to change some things. 827 00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:49.840 You cannot be staring at your phone screen 828 00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.240 12 hours a day and expect to hear from the Lord. 829 00:37:52.240 --> 00:37:53.920 And it also doesn't mean that you have to be 830 00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:55.920 in some study with a candle going 831 00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:58.160 and six books in the Bible open. 832 00:37:58.160 --> 00:38:00.560 No, you just need to get into a place to rest. 833 00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:03.680 You go into the subway, take your phone 834 00:38:03.680 --> 00:38:06.720 and chuck it somewhere deep in your book bag or handbag. 835 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:10.480 And just, you know, I remember when I got saved in the 90s. 836 00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:12.960 And sometimes you'd see 10, 15 people on a subway car. 837 00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:14.560 And I knew exactly what they were doing. 838 00:38:14.560 --> 00:38:16.160 They'd be doing the Jesus meditation. 839 00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:18.240 You just thank Jesus, thank Jesus. 840 00:38:18.240 --> 00:38:19.040 Anybody remember that? 841 00:38:19.040 --> 00:38:21.440 There were Christians and now everybody's looking out of phone. 842 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.160 But they'd be digging into that place in the secret place. 843 00:38:24.160 --> 00:38:25.760 That's where you hear from the Lord. 844 00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:27.680 That's where you hear from heaven. 845 00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:32.320 Go eat and drink for there is the sound of abundance of rain. 846 00:38:33.600 --> 00:38:35.280 So, they have went up to eat and drink 847 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:37.760 and Elijah went up to the top of Carmel. 848 00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:40.720 Then he bowed down on the ground 849 00:38:40.720 --> 00:38:42.640 and put his face between his knees. 850 00:38:42.640 --> 00:38:44.640 By the way, in many ancient cultures, 851 00:38:44.640 --> 00:38:46.000 including that Middle Eastern culture, 852 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:47.520 that was a birthing position. 853 00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:50.560 So Elijah's down and he's in a birthing position. 854 00:38:50.560 --> 00:38:51.760 What's he birthing? 855 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:53.520 He's birthing the promise of God. 856 00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:56.160 When you get a promise from God 857 00:38:56.160 --> 00:38:59.360 and you got 7,000 of them in the Holy Word of God, 858 00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:02.960 and then you can be with Jesus and hear his spoken, 859 00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:04.720 ram a promise to you. 860 00:39:04.720 --> 00:39:07.840 That's him speaking specifically to your situation. 861 00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:09.520 Because there's no scripture verse. 862 00:39:09.520 --> 00:39:12.080 Many scripture verses on God bringing prosperity. 863 00:39:12.080 --> 00:39:13.440 But no scripture verse saying, 864 00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:16.480 hey, buy MSTR options and make sure they're out two years. 865 00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:21.120 But I filled myself up with the written word concerning prosperity, 866 00:39:21.120 --> 00:39:24.080 yielded to the Holy Spirit to carve out 867 00:39:24.080 --> 00:39:25.760 an intimate relationship with him. 868 00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:27.520 And then when the time was right, 869 00:39:27.520 --> 00:39:28.320 that's what I heard. 870 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.080 I'm now spoken word A. 871 00:39:30.080 --> 00:39:31.440 This prosperity I'm bringing you, 872 00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:33.360 here's one of the channels I'm going to do it through. 873 00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:33.840 Do this. 874 00:39:39.600 --> 00:39:41.280 Can I just go back to that previous verse? 875 00:39:41.280 --> 00:39:42.000 I want to make sure. 876 00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:44.560 Okay, thank you, verse 43. 877 00:39:46.640 --> 00:39:47.760 And said to his servant, 878 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:49.280 go up now, look toward the sea. 879 00:39:50.240 --> 00:39:51.600 So he went up and looked and said, 880 00:39:51.600 --> 00:39:52.800 there is nothing. 881 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:54.960 So Elijah's praying, he got a word. 882 00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:56.320 What does the word say? 883 00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:57.360 Rain is coming. 884 00:39:57.360 --> 00:39:58.480 Is there any rain? 885 00:39:58.480 --> 00:39:59.760 Rain? 886 00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:01.920 Not even a cloud in the sky. 887 00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:06.000 Thanks. 888 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:06.720 You got that. 889 00:40:06.720 --> 00:40:07.760 Okay, Bruno. 890 00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:08.640 Sorry, I can't sing. 891 00:40:08.640 --> 00:40:09.680 So you can catch that from... 892 00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:15.360 Not even a cloud in the sky. 893 00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:18.720 Some jokes land, some not so much. 894 00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.240 Not even a cloud in the sky. 895 00:40:22.240 --> 00:40:24.320 But the word of the Lord is, I'm sending rain. 896 00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:26.480 He tells his servant go and check. 897 00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:28.000 He's in that birthing position. 898 00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:29.120 Go look over the cliff. 899 00:40:29.120 --> 00:40:31.520 Is there anything, not even a cloud, not even a cloud? 900 00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:35.600 Then it came to pass, verse 44, the seventh time, 901 00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:38.640 that he said, there is a cloud. 902 00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:40.400 But it's itty-pity. 903 00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:41.200 It's insignificant. 904 00:40:41.200 --> 00:40:44.160 A small as a man's hand rising out of the sea. 905 00:40:44.240 --> 00:40:46.320 Then Elijah said, oh, this is it. 906 00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:52.160 Go up, say to Ahab, prepare your chariot and go down before the rain stops you. 907 00:40:53.040 --> 00:40:56.560 Now it happened, verse 45, in the meantime, 908 00:40:56.560 --> 00:41:00.160 that the sky became black with clouds and wind. 909 00:41:00.160 --> 00:41:03.040 And there was a heavy rain, the first raining years. 910 00:41:03.040 --> 00:41:05.840 So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel. 911 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:11.120 What is the promise of God to you? 912 00:41:12.160 --> 00:41:13.040 Only you know. 913 00:41:13.120 --> 00:41:16.000 There's 7,000 of them you can receive from the Scriptures. 914 00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:21.280 Spending time with him, he will then specifically give you a promise for your life for 2025. 915 00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:25.040 How many of you by show hands you have a promise from the Lord for 2025? 916 00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:26.000 Let me see your hands. 917 00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:27.040 Look at the hands around here. 918 00:41:27.600 --> 00:41:29.360 So what should your posture be? 919 00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:31.440 Should you just be like, cool, I got a promise? 920 00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:35.440 Let me chill and wait because you know, God's promise, it always comes to pass. 921 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:37.760 Ah, wrong, it actually does it. 922 00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:41.600 The word of God and the promise of God must be hastened. 923 00:41:41.600 --> 00:41:46.400 When you receive a word from the Lord, he's showing you what he wants to do. 924 00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:49.440 He's showing you the potential of what can happen. 925 00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:52.560 But it doesn't mean that it'll automatically happen. 926 00:41:52.560 --> 00:41:54.960 Why do you think Elijah was praying? 927 00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:58.400 If it automatically happens, the word of the Lord when he came to Elijah saying, 928 00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:01.280 it's going to rain, Elijah would have been like, cool, it's going to rain. 929 00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:02.240 Let's go home. 930 00:42:02.240 --> 00:42:05.280 No, he immediately started hastening the rain. 931 00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:10.000 No, he immediately started hastening the word of the Lord by praying 932 00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:13.040 and repeating the promise of God back to him. 933 00:42:13.040 --> 00:42:15.120 You said, it's going to rain. 934 00:42:15.120 --> 00:42:15.600 And why? 935 00:42:15.600 --> 00:42:17.040 How do we know he was doing that? 936 00:42:17.040 --> 00:42:22.400 Because he said, I hear, I hear the sound of the abundance of rain. 937 00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:23.680 There was no physical rain. 938 00:42:23.680 --> 00:42:25.040 He heard that sound. 939 00:42:25.040 --> 00:42:27.040 See, I was down 50%. 940 00:42:28.160 --> 00:42:30.320 I had a mortgage bill coming in. 941 00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.080 I didn't know what I was going to do. 942 00:42:32.160 --> 00:42:36.240 But I heard the sound of the abundance of 5,000%. 943 00:42:37.040 --> 00:42:38.800 I heard that and I clung. 944 00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:41.360 I said, no, this is going to happen. 945 00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:43.760 Hallelujah. 946 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:46.480 Thank you, Jesus. 947 00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:50.560 Verse 46, then the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah 948 00:42:50.560 --> 00:42:53.040 and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab. 949 00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:55.920 I don't know why I included that, but it's there. 950 00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:56.240 All right. 951 00:42:57.120 --> 00:42:59.040 I think I had my point without the visual of him 952 00:42:59.040 --> 00:42:59.920 girding up his loins. 953 00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:02.960 But always fun to imagine that, right? 954 00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:09.520 But actually it is, you know, because rich people didn't do that. 955 00:43:09.520 --> 00:43:10.800 Because it's a humiliating thing. 956 00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:13.280 To gird up your loins means you, you know, 957 00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:16.320 you had those weird flowy robe things the men wore. 958 00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:18.880 And so you'd have to gird it up when you ran. 959 00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:22.400 But then you would have to expose your ankles and calves 960 00:43:23.120 --> 00:43:26.240 which in Middle Eastern Hebrew culture was a no-no. 961 00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:28.320 Why am I even talking about that? 962 00:43:29.120 --> 00:43:30.640 Because it paints a beautiful picture. 963 00:43:30.640 --> 00:43:32.400 Because we know that with the prodigal sun, 964 00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:35.200 the father came running towards the sun, 965 00:43:35.200 --> 00:43:37.840 which means he would have had to gird up his robes 966 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:42.000 and humiliate himself to run towards his son. 967 00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.600 And it shows the humiliation God endured when he became man 968 00:43:45.600 --> 00:43:46.720 and ran towards us. 969 00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:48.080 Hallelujah. 970 00:43:50.240 --> 00:43:53.440 Matthew 16 is my final, final passage 971 00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:55.760 and then we're going to receive communion. 972 00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:59.600 Matthew 16 verse 13. 973 00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:04.560 What do you hear in your spirit? 974 00:44:06.720 --> 00:44:08.320 Do you hear the sound of the abundance of rain? 975 00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:10.240 Do you hear a promise for 2025? 976 00:44:10.240 --> 00:44:11.440 A promise for your family? 977 00:44:12.640 --> 00:44:13.840 A promise for your future? 978 00:44:18.080 --> 00:44:19.280 He's got something to say. 979 00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:22.800 Just look through the scriptures. 980 00:44:23.600 --> 00:44:25.440 Just in the gospel of John, 981 00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:29.360 just the gospel of John chapter 14 and chapter 16. 982 00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:32.480 And circle every time that Jesus says the Holy Spirit will speak. 983 00:44:33.040 --> 00:44:36.320 Over and over again, Jesus says the Holy Spirit will speak to you. 984 00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:37.440 He will speak to you. 985 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:38.960 He will show you things to come. 986 00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:40.720 He will not speak of his own authority. 987 00:44:40.720 --> 00:44:41.920 But whatever the Father gives him, 988 00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:42.640 that he will speak. 989 00:44:42.640 --> 00:44:43.840 He will speak. 990 00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:46.720 He will speak because he's not quiet. 991 00:44:46.720 --> 00:44:49.680 He's not a mute and he cares about you. 992 00:44:49.680 --> 00:44:51.520 He takes an intimate interest in you. 993 00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:56.320 If we're not listening, it doesn't mean he's not speaking. 994 00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.160 When Jesus came into the region of Cessaria, 995 00:45:00.160 --> 00:45:02.160 Philippi, he asked his disciples saying, 996 00:45:03.040 --> 00:45:05.440 who do men say that I, the son of man, am? 997 00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:09.040 So they said some say John, the Baptist, 998 00:45:09.040 --> 00:45:11.840 some Elijah, others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 999 00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:15.840 And then the ultimate question every single one of us has to answer. 1000 00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:17.360 He says, but who do you say that I am? 1001 00:45:18.160 --> 00:45:20.720 And Simon Peter, he answered and said, 1002 00:45:20.720 --> 00:45:23.840 you are the Christ, the son of the living God. 1003 00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:27.120 And Jesus said to him, blessed, 1004 00:45:27.680 --> 00:45:29.040 are you Simon, Barjona, 1005 00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:33.040 for flesh and blood has not what revealed. 1006 00:45:34.240 --> 00:45:36.240 That's the Greek word apocalyptic. 1007 00:45:36.240 --> 00:45:38.880 A lot of us think apocalyptic means destruction or end times. 1008 00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:40.240 No, it means the revelation. 1009 00:45:41.120 --> 00:45:44.320 Specifically means the peeling back of the curtain. 1010 00:45:45.120 --> 00:45:46.960 Because we're all walking around like this. 1011 00:45:47.200 --> 00:45:52.400 And then God peels away the curtain and we can see. 1012 00:45:53.040 --> 00:45:55.760 And Peter was like this, and God pealed the curtain. 1013 00:45:56.400 --> 00:45:58.000 And he saw that Jesus' system has said, 1014 00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:01.840 flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, 1015 00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:03.520 but my father who is in heaven. 1016 00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:07.040 And I also say to you that you are Peter. 1017 00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:11.040 And on this rock, I will build my church, what rock? 1018 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:13.600 Catholics will say Peter was the rock. 1019 00:46:13.600 --> 00:46:17.760 No, on this rock of revelation that I am the Christ, 1020 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:19.280 the son of the living God. 1021 00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:22.560 On this rock, I will build my church, 1022 00:46:22.560 --> 00:46:26.800 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 1023 00:46:27.600 --> 00:46:30.720 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. 1024 00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:34.480 And whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. 1025 00:46:35.040 --> 00:46:39.200 And whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 1026 00:46:39.200 --> 00:46:40.960 He said, I will give you the keys. 1027 00:46:41.040 --> 00:46:47.520 This is connected to the revelation or the promise or God speaking, 1028 00:46:47.520 --> 00:46:48.560 the prophetic word. 1029 00:46:49.200 --> 00:46:52.160 I hope what you're getting out of this message is not just 1030 00:46:52.160 --> 00:46:54.640 the importance of studying God's promises, 1031 00:46:54.640 --> 00:46:56.800 but of having a close communion with the Lord, 1032 00:46:56.800 --> 00:46:58.080 so you hear him for yourself. 1033 00:46:58.640 --> 00:47:00.800 And that is available to everyone. 1034 00:47:01.520 --> 00:47:04.320 And let me tell you something, I'm a holiness preacher. 1035 00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:07.840 I preach holiness, but I believe I preach it the right way 1036 00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.080 in that you cannot try to be holy. 1037 00:47:10.080 --> 00:47:13.200 It's all by God's grace, and you must yield to the Holy Spirit. 1038 00:47:13.200 --> 00:47:15.120 But I just want to say this to some people. 1039 00:47:15.120 --> 00:47:16.800 You think that if you're trapped in sin, 1040 00:47:17.680 --> 00:47:20.320 you actually have stopped listening to God, 1041 00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:23.280 because you don't think you qualify to hear him because you're in sin. 1042 00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:26.400 And there were times when I was trapped in sin, 1043 00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:30.720 and that's when I heard God the best, the loudest, the clearest, 1044 00:47:30.720 --> 00:47:31.680 because that's how he is. 1045 00:47:31.680 --> 00:47:33.840 He comes to you when you're in trouble. 1046 00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:35.920 So if you're living a messed up life right now, 1047 00:47:36.080 --> 00:47:37.440 and you're trapped in sin, 1048 00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.200 and you keep rejecting God's love, 1049 00:47:39.200 --> 00:47:40.400 because you feel like you don't deserve it, 1050 00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:41.360 you need to stop that. 1051 00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:44.720 Because God will reach down to you in the mud, 1052 00:47:44.720 --> 00:47:46.800 and pick you up, and he will speak to you. 1053 00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:49.120 How else are you going to get up out of the mud, 1054 00:47:49.120 --> 00:47:50.640 and then say I qualify to hear him? 1055 00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:51.760 Yeah. 1056 00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:55.200 So do you have those keys still, Chris? 1057 00:47:56.960 --> 00:48:01.680 We found out I was testing a different set of keys, 1058 00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:05.440 because you got this one that looks like it opens up the vault 1059 00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:07.120 to a 17th century bank. 1060 00:48:07.120 --> 00:48:08.080 Look at this. 1061 00:48:08.080 --> 00:48:08.880 I don't know, Keith. 1062 00:48:11.040 --> 00:48:14.640 I was looking for good keychain with lots and lots of jingle-jangly keys. 1063 00:48:18.560 --> 00:48:20.960 Because many, many Christians in the spirit, 1064 00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:24.240 they're walking around with a key set like this. 1065 00:48:26.560 --> 00:48:28.640 And their expert professional 1066 00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:33.440 promise receivers, but not promise users, 1067 00:48:34.160 --> 00:48:35.840 not promise realizers, 1068 00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:39.040 and they have a collection of keys that they've never ever used, 1069 00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:43.600 words that God has spoken to them, promises that God gave them, 1070 00:48:43.600 --> 00:48:45.040 prophetic words. 1071 00:48:45.040 --> 00:48:47.440 They'll be like, you know, they love to talk about it. 1072 00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:49.440 Oh, I got, ooh, this key. 1073 00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:52.080 I got this key back in 2006. 1074 00:48:52.080 --> 00:48:55.280 I was at a life group, and the Lord spoke to me, 1075 00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:58.160 and told me that He was going to increase me and give me 1076 00:48:58.160 --> 00:48:58.960 a career path. 1077 00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:00.160 I love this key. 1078 00:49:00.160 --> 00:49:01.280 Have you ever used that key? 1079 00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:01.840 No. 1080 00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:03.040 Have you ever applied the key? 1081 00:49:03.040 --> 00:49:03.200 No. 1082 00:49:03.200 --> 00:49:04.080 Did the key manifest? 1083 00:49:04.080 --> 00:49:05.120 No, but I love it. 1084 00:49:05.120 --> 00:49:06.240 It means a lot to me. 1085 00:49:06.240 --> 00:49:07.840 And then there's this key. 1086 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:08.640 I got this key. 1087 00:49:08.640 --> 00:49:10.880 Ooh, this key is from 1997. 1088 00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:13.920 I was in a revival service, and God told me I was going to the nations. 1089 00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:15.280 Have you won a soul since then? 1090 00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:17.040 No, I never won any person. 1091 00:49:17.040 --> 00:49:19.440 But I got this promise, you know, 1092 00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:20.720 do you think about it often? 1093 00:49:20.720 --> 00:49:22.240 No, I just kind of, you know, I keep it. 1094 00:49:22.240 --> 00:49:23.680 And my key set, and my pocket. 1095 00:49:25.120 --> 00:49:26.480 If you don't, amen or owe me. 1096 00:49:28.160 --> 00:49:30.320 Amen. 1097 00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:34.000 First of all, when God speaks to you and promises something to you, 1098 00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:38.400 how would advise you to be very, very extremely selective 1099 00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:40.240 about who you share that information with, 1100 00:49:40.240 --> 00:49:43.640 if anyone at all other than your husband or wife? 1101 00:49:43.640 --> 00:49:45.200 Too many people, they blab it to everybody. 1102 00:49:45.200 --> 00:49:47.840 And if you blab it, you lose it. 1103 00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:50.440 It's truth. 1104 00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:54.840 Why would you want the enemy to know? 1105 00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:57.240 In fact, a lot of times people blab it 1106 00:49:57.240 --> 00:49:58.560 because they don't believe it, 1107 00:49:58.560 --> 00:50:00.920 and they're hoping someone else will believe it when they blab it to them 1108 00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:01.640 and encourage you minute. 1109 00:50:01.640 --> 00:50:03.120 They're not. 1110 00:50:03.120 --> 00:50:05.040 They're believing for their own thing. 1111 00:50:05.040 --> 00:50:05.880 It's true. 1112 00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:09.040 They don't have the faith capacity now to take on your key set. 1113 00:50:09.040 --> 00:50:12.440 You're responsible with your promises. 1114 00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:15.520 And don't go talking to everybody about them. 1115 00:50:15.520 --> 00:50:18.520 I didn't come here in September of 23 and go, 1116 00:50:18.520 --> 00:50:22.160 well, I'm 50% down on my life savings, 1117 00:50:22.160 --> 00:50:23.840 but God spoke to me. 1118 00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:25.560 No, I kept quiet. 1119 00:50:25.560 --> 00:50:30.480 I cried and quiet, amen, only for my wife to see. 1120 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:35.400 And then I rejoiced in public, amen, for everyone to see. 1121 00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:38.400 And that's how it ought to be. 1122 00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:44.480 After the manifestation, thank you, Chris. 1123 00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:46.040 So what are you going to do with the keys? 1124 00:50:49.240 --> 00:50:49.880 Use them. 1125 00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:51.400 How do you use them? 1126 00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:55.720 Speak the promises back to God, stand on the promises, 1127 00:50:55.720 --> 00:50:57.680 put him in remembrance. 1128 00:50:57.680 --> 00:51:00.200 And even if it looks like you're 50% down 1129 00:51:00.200 --> 00:51:02.960 on the exact opposite of the promises have happened, 1130 00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:05.600 you hang on to the promise because that's why you got it. 1131 00:51:05.600 --> 00:51:08.600 To fight the good fight, let's all receive communion. 1132 00:51:08.600 --> 00:51:09.640 Come on. 1133 00:51:09.640 --> 00:51:13.600 Hallelujah, worship team, come on up. 1134 00:51:13.600 --> 00:51:18.280 We're going to receive communion as we do once a month. 1135 00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:24.120 And we're receiving communion and releasing our faith 1136 00:51:24.120 --> 00:51:26.320 to hear God's word like never before. 1137 00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:30.160 Both the logos and the ramah, both his written word 1138 00:51:30.160 --> 00:51:33.280 and the promises that he speaks uniquely and directly 1139 00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:35.200 to our hearts. 1140 00:51:35.200 --> 00:51:36.600 Hang on to the communion and elements, 1141 00:51:36.600 --> 00:51:37.920 and we'll all receive them together. 1142 00:51:42.560 --> 00:51:43.800 Thank you, Jesus. 1143 00:51:46.640 --> 00:51:47.840 Thank you, Jesus. 1144 00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:50.280 Thank you, Lord. 1145 00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:54.280 Thank you, Jesus, that your body was broken for us. 1146 00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:58.280 Thank you, Jesus, that your blood was shed for us. 1147 00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:02.280 As I was drifting off to sleep last night, 1148 00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.280 I felt the Lord come to me and remind me of Paul 1149 00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:10.280 and Corinthians talking about how he was taken up 1150 00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:13.280 to the Third Heaven, how he said, 1151 00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:16.280 whether I was in the body or out of the body, I don't know. 1152 00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:20.280 He had such an amazing God encounter, 1153 00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:22.280 and I just felt like the Lord would remind me 1154 00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:24.280 and tell me to get on you because he got on me 1155 00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:27.280 and just remind you of the realms of God. 1156 00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:29.280 This earthly realm is nothing. 1157 00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:34.280 But there are realms of God that you can go to right now 1158 00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:35.280 while on earth. 1159 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:37.280 You don't have to wait to heaven. 1160 00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:38.280 Are you hearing me church? 1161 00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:39.280 Yes. 1162 00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:40.280 For him. 1163 00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:42.280 Imagine you're sleeping in your bed and all of a sudden 1164 00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:44.280 you just feel the anointing all over your body, 1165 00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:47.280 your body begins to shake and you're having a God encounter 1166 00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:48.280 and you're seeing him. 1167 00:52:48.280 --> 00:52:50.280 That's what he wants to do. 1168 00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:52.280 That's what he wants to do. 1169 00:52:55.280 --> 00:52:57.280 That you would experience his love. 1170 00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:01.280 The kind that can't just be intellectually known 1171 00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:02.280 but must be experienced. 1172 00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:09.280 Lord, what do you have in store for us? 1173 00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:10.280 I believe it's good. 1174 00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:12.280 What do you have in store for our people? 1175 00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:17.280 Lord, knock some people out of their bed at night. 1176 00:53:18.280 --> 00:53:20.280 Lord, may they be on the subway or going to work 1177 00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:22.280 and just break down as you put your hand upon them 1178 00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:24.280 and hear the audible voice of God. 1179 00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:29.280 Open yourself up to the supernatural. 1180 00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:34.280 Open yourself up to the realms of God. 1181 00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:39.280 The surprises of God. 1182 00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:42.280 Lord Jesus, we love you and we partake of communion 1183 00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:44.280 knowing we partake of Christ. 1184 00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:48.280 Death, sin and Satan have been defeated. 1185 00:53:48.280 --> 00:53:50.280 You have given us life eternal. 1186 00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:52.280 We thank you for it. 1187 00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:53.280 Say this. 1188 00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:59.280 All of my sins are taken away by the blood of Jesus. 1189 00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:04.280 I believe that I receive all of the benefits 1190 00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:08.280 of the finished work of Jesus Christ. 1191 00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:11.280 Now go ahead and partake of the body of Jesus 1192 00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:14.280 and partake and drink of the blood of Jesus. 1193 00:54:14.280 -->
