Most believers have experienced the frustration of knowing what the Bible promises but struggling to see those promises manifest in their lives. Why? Because there's a profound difference between mental assent and spiritual encounter. As Smith Wigglesworth wisely observed, "Our only safeguard from dropping back to our natural mind, from which we can receive nothing from God, is to be filled and filled again with the Holy Spirit."

Praise the Lord, woo, praisethe Lord.
Ha ha ha.
Waiting to sit down for aminute.
Praise the Lord.
I don't know about you, but Isure am blessed.
How many of y'all been drinking.
(01:56):
Somebody said what did you doSunday night?
I went out drinking, man, I'vebeen drinking.
Amen ha ha.
Don't be drunk with wine, butbe filled.
I went out drinking man, I'vebeen drinking.
Amen, don't be drunk with wine,but be filled with the Spirit.
When it says be filled with theSpirit, it literally means to
be being filled, or it means tobe filled and filled again.
(02:21):
How many glad you got filledagain.
Amen.
I love what Smith Wigglesworthsaid in his book Ever-Increasing
Faith.
He said our only safeguard fromdropping back to our natural
mind.
You know the problem with yournatural mind.
(02:43):
Your natural mind is a problem.
You say, what problem is it?
Well, first, corinthians 2, 14says the natural man cannot
receive the things of the spiritof God, for they are
spiritually discerned.
So if you stay in the natural,the intellectual, the mental,
then the devil can whip you.
Plus, he said you can't receivethe things of God.
(03:05):
Doesn't say you're a bad person, just says you live in the
natural too much.
How many like to step out ofthe natural and get over in the
realm of the spirit?
Amen, be filled with the HolyGhost, amen, ha ha.
So Wigglesworth again, he saidour only safeguard from dropping
back to our natural mind, fromwhich we can receive nothing
(03:27):
from God.
Try that one more time.
Our only safeguard from droppingback to our natural mind, from
which we can receive nothingfrom God, our only safeguard
from dropping back to ournatural mind, he said, is to be
filled and filled again with theHoly Spirit.
How many's to be filled andfilled again with the Holy
Spirit?
How many like to be filled andfilled again?
(03:48):
Amen, he said the Holy Spiritwill fill you.
He said he'll think throughyour mind, speak through your
lips and he'll magnify Jesus.
How many like Jesus?
It gets so big.
All your problems get reallittle.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
I said when you're filled withthe Holy Ghost, he, it gets so
big.
All your problems get reallittle.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
I said when you're filled withthe Holy Ghost, it makes Jesus
so big and all your problemsreal little.
(04:11):
Amen.
So he says I want to get youout beyond all human thoughts
and plans into the fullness ofthe vision of the presence of
God.
Amen To be filled.
He said we are commanded by Godto be filled with the spirit
and he said the measure you failof that.
You are that far short of theplan of God for your life.
(04:35):
Y'all still with me here.
In other words, we're commandedby God to be filled and filled
again.
So you and I must have a choiceto be filled and filled again.
Actually, right, you and I musthave a choice to be filled and
filled again.
Actually, right there inEphesians it says, speaking to
yourselves, in psalms and hymnsand spiritual songs, amen.
While we're singing amen, jesussaid come and drink.
(04:58):
So really, you're just drinking, you're singing.
In other words, you can't drinkwith your mouth shut, right?
I know something about drinking.
Praise the Lord, you can't getintoxicated if you don't drink.
Y'all still here.
And if you drink, right, youknow you need some drinking
friends.
I mean glad you came to churchon Sunday night, got some
(05:23):
drinking friends, hey man.
And then you came to church onSunday night, got some drinking
friends, amen.
And then you got to have somedrinking music.
I mean, glad to have somedrinking music.
Come on, you drink and amen.
And while you're speaking, thePsalm 10 spiritual song, he said
you're drinking right untilyou're filled, praise the Lord.
Filled and filled again.
(05:43):
Hallelujah, hallelujah, amen.
And so we just kept drinkingand singing and got filled, amen
, filled full of joy and full ofthe Holy Ghost.
Ha ha ha, amen.
When you're under the influenceyou drink until you get under
(06:06):
the influence.
So you drink until you're underthe influence and you can tell
when you get filled, because youget full of joy, amen.
You get full of the love of God, amen.
And everybody looks better whenyou're filled with the Holy
Ghost.
You don't see everybody's faultso much, amen.
And then you're actually betterlooking.
(06:29):
When you're full of joy in theHoly Ghost, look at somebody and
say you might consider that Nowyou get filled with the Holy
Ghost and you're more attractive.
Amen, thank God for the HolyGhost.
In other words, that joy PeterPeter says is joy unspeakable.
But he said that joy is full ofglory.
(06:50):
You know what the glory is?
Right, the glory is themanifested presence of God, amen
.
That joy is not not regular joy.
He calls it joy in the HolyGhost.
So it's supernatural joy whichwill actually produce
supernatural results, he said.
And that joy is a container forthe glory of God.
(07:11):
That's why Dad Hagin said inthese kind of meetings I call
them is it what Holy Ghostmeetings?
Or sometimes I call them adrinking meet we got teaching
meetings, come on.
We had that this morning and alittle bit tonight, but I've got
a lot more to teach.
But I'll just have to come backagain as soon as possible.
(07:31):
We'll come back again so I canfinish my sermon.
Right, but a drinking meeting,a drinking meeting is where you
come, come on and you get in thepresence of the Lord, amen.
And you drink, drink and youget in the presence of the Lord,
amen.
And you drink, drink and whileyou're drinking, while you're
drinking, you're drinking yourhealing.
(07:52):
Come on, not just thinkinghealing, I'm drinking healing.
Now, y'all know what I'mtalking about.
Some people got all theirthinking healing.
You know scriptures out.
Well, that's wonderful, but youalso have some drinking healing
.
Drinking from the Holy Ghost,amen, praying in the Holy Ghost,
(08:12):
getting full of joy, amen.
Drinking Healing, ha ha ha.
But you're also drinking untilyou lose all your worries, all
the things that have beenirritating you, amen, things
you've been worried about.
You just cast all your cares onthe Lord.
Come on, you have yourresponsibility, but you ain't
(08:33):
worried about it.
Go ahead and laugh about that,say I ain't worried.
Come on, people in the worldare uptight, you know, and angry
and irritated and you come inwith peace and joy and the Holy
Ghost, hallelujah.
So Dad Higgins said these HolyGhost meetings or we call them
drinking meetings, not thinkingmeetings I always say don't be
(09:00):
frustrated, god's not opposed toyour thinking.
He actually thinks differentthan you think, but if you'll
drink better, you'll actuallythink better.
So you're drinking amen, filledwith the Holy Ghost, and the
Holy Ghost begins to change theway you think.
He can even change yourpersonality.
(09:21):
Look at somebody and say youmight consider that I said he
can change your personality.
What somebody and say you mightconsider that I said he can
change your personality.
What does that mean?
You're not stuck with that uglything.
You got that you call yourpersonality, not you, of course,
but somebody watching online.
You ain't stuck.
People say well, that's justthe way I am.
Get filled with the Holy Ghost.
(09:41):
He'll change every bit of that.
Amen, he'll change yourpersonality.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Fill you up with joy.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, amen.
And so Dad Hagin said in theseHoly Ghost meetings, or drinking
meetings, he said while thatanointing is flowing, he said
(10:02):
joy in the Holy Ghost.
He said people will just startlaughing.
Get full of joy, amen.
Then he said some people, theynormally get so heavy.
You just glory, you just feellike heavy, you're just kind of
like.
You're just like heavy.
What's the word?
(10:23):
Heavy means loaded with thegoodness of God.
Loaded heavy that's one of thewords for glory.
Heavy, loaded with what?
All?
The goodness of God.
When you're in the glory, thenyou have changes from glory to
(10:45):
glory, changes you've beentrying to produce yourself and
yet the Holy Ghost does it whileyou're drinking.
I always like to say, whileyou're drinking here, something
is happening back at your house.
Come on.
I like to say, while you'redrinking here, something is
happening in your future.
Amen, come on.
(11:05):
While you're rejoicing here,god's doing something in your
future.
Come on, he's making darknesslight before you.
He's making crooked thingsstraight, he's making provision
for you.
And when you get there a monthfrom now, three months from now,
you're gonna say look like theLord has already been here and
already got things prearranged.
(11:25):
Go ahead and laugh for a minute.
Ha, he got it prearranged.
He went ahead of you.
I said he went ahead of you,got things prearranged for you
so you don't have to worry, haveanxiety.
Uh, glory to God.
I got drunk in the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
(11:46):
And CS Lewis, my favorite quote,said that joy is the serious
business of heaven.
In other words, to the naturalperson it would look silly, but
to the spiritual person they saythey're taking care of serious
business.
In other words, things youcouldn't take care of.
Naturally, the Holy Ghost takescare of it for you while you're
(12:10):
drinking.
If I was you, I'd just keep ondrinking.
I'd say, man, I'm gonna do alittle drinking, amen, I'm gonna
drink until I get under theinfluence, amen.
So Dad Hagin said, in this kindof a meeting the Holy Ghost
meeting, different kind ofmeeting you know we need to have
different kinds of meetings.
(12:31):
Amen, thank God for teachingand all that.
But there's also other kinds ofmeetings.
And so if you're a believer,this would be a believer's
meeting, amen, amen,spirit-filled, believer, holy
Ghost meeting.
So he said in these meetings,holy Ghost meetings, there would
be a demonstration of the HolySpirit, amen.
(12:52):
So he said joy would be one ofthose.
So he said people will startlaughing, the joy will bubble up
.
Ha, ha, ha.
You don't need no comedian, yougot the Holy Ghost.
A lot of comedians go out ofwork.
They don't have no work becauseyou got joy in the Holy Ghost,
(13:13):
you don't need nobody to tellyou a joke to laugh at.
You got joy in the Holy Ghost,amen, amen.
So that joy, you start startlaughing.
Or heavy, heavy, sometimesyou're just like heavy.
You just feel like just kind oflaying down that heavy,
(13:33):
blessing, anointing the presenceof God.
Come on, fill you up, fill youup, ha ha ha.
Come on, fill you up, fill youup.
Ha ha ha ha.
Taking care of serious business.
Now my mother, what she would doin the glory, the presence of
(13:54):
God would come in my mother.
She would run.
You know, she might jump alittle bit, amen.
Even in her 80s she'd still bedoing a little jumping around
like that.
And then she'd like to runaround the church.
So she would get a couple ofrunners to run with her One on
each side.
When she got older, she had tworunners and they'd run and they
(14:16):
felt like you needed to run.
They could tell by looking atmost people If you needed to run
.
They'd on run with us.
And while you're running that'sa demonstration of the Holy
Spirit, because you believe Godis turning your morning into
(14:38):
dancing come on, turning yoursour into joy.
So, while the Holy Ghost isworking, things are turning.
Things are turning, amen.
Things are turning.
Ha ha ha.
Paul said the supply of theSpirit and it will turn to my
salvation Through the power ofthe Holy Spirit.
(15:00):
Things will turn to my.
What Salvation deliverance,safety, healing, preservation,
soundness and blessing.
It was all turning while I wasbeing filled with the Holy Ghost
.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
Look at somebody and say youneed to practice.
In other words practice.
(15:31):
In other words full of joy andfull of the Holy Ghost.
I said full of joy, full of theHoly Ghost, ha ha ha.
So my mother, she likes to kindof run, dance a little bit, but
Dad Hagen, he would dance.
He said so there's a blessingyou receive when you dance.
Now, I don't know, there mightbe different kinds of dances.
(15:55):
We don't have no classes.
Don't bring your leotards andwe're going to show you how to
do it.
We don't have your leotards andwe're going to show you how to
do it.
We don't have no classes.
So there must be differentkinds of dancing, right?
So when we don't just have one.
But the Bible says when Daviddanced, he danced with all of
(16:15):
his might, but he's he's a bigwarrior.
You know, when I was in NewZealand preaching, they did what
they call the, uh, what theycall the Haka dance.
Right, you can get, you canfind it on YouTube.
And so, uh, the, the NewZealand all blacks, which is the
(16:36):
rugby team, or they call itfootball, we don't really call
it.
You're from New Zealand, uh,the, the, the haka tribe, or
whatever it is right, and sothey would.
They would do theirs there inFiji, same thing, and they do
the, the haka dance, and that'ssome big, strong men.
So I had a Holy Ghost meeting inNew Zealand and the Holy Ghost
broke out and they had a wholedifferent kind of dance.
(16:57):
They would do the.
It's called a haka dance, Ithink right, and so they go.
They would do the.
It's called a hockey dance, Ithink right, and so they'd go
and they would stomp like that,and then they made up a Holy
Ghost song with that dance, andthen they would always it's very
aggressive Amen, because that'sthe only tribe that the during
(17:24):
during World War II, that theNazis could not conquer.
And they would get together andthey'd go oh, you wanna come
over to my house?
And then they would end it,stick their tongue out and go.
That means I'm gonna cut yourthroat.
So the Holy Ghost get a hold ofyou and you might wanna go.
(17:47):
I wanna let the devil know I'mfreaking to cut his throat.
And so Paul said he'd crush theSatan underneath your feet.
So sometimes you'll be dancinglike that.
So Dad Hagin, even in his 80s,come on.
Even in his 80s, come on.
He won his 80s then on theincrease, and he just start
(18:12):
dancing when he'd be dancinglike this in his 80s.
You know and here's what hesaid there's a blessing you
receive when you dance in theHoly Ghost.
He said you can't get it anyother way, so I just watch him.
(18:32):
If he started doing it, I said,well, I'm just gonna act like
him.
I don't know how to do it, butI don't think he does either.
So I just started dancing likehim.
Anybody wanna know whathappened?
The blessing of the Lord.
Joy in the Holy Ghost willbring the blessing of the Lord.
(18:58):
So we did Holy Ghost meetings.
I'd go to Dad Higgins, becauseyou have to learn how to flow
with the Holy Ghost.
I said you have to learn how toreceive, or learn how to yield,
or find out what channel he'son.
Amen, because if you're on AMand he's on FM.
(19:20):
You're like, well, I ain'tgetting nothing, that's cause
you're on the wrong channel,ding dong.
So you gotta get off the mentalchannel, amen, and get on the
spirit channel, and that's wherehe's broadcasting, right there
on that channel, or that's thechannel that you receive the
anointing in.
Go ahead and laugh for a minute, ha ha ha.
Now I'm gonna show you a littlebit more about this.
(19:44):
Because Dad Hagen said becauseDad Hagen taught on faith, the
best faith teaching I've everlearned from Kenneth Hagen Very
simple, how to live by faith,walk by faith.
But he said I taught peoplefaith to the best of my ability
and they never were healed untilthey got filled with the Holy
(20:06):
Ghost.
And he could teach faith prettygood.
I taught them their rights,taught them what belonged to
them, but they knew faith, theyknew the scripture.
But he said they never gothealed until they got filled
with the Holy Ghost.
Not just one case, he said.
I can tell you many cases Onethat had terminal cancer and the
(20:26):
lady that Hagen went over theirhouse and knew that you know
she was dying with cancer wentover there and she was eating a
bowl of chili.
He was like what are you doing?
She said well, I went down tothe Pentecostal church, full
gospel church, and she said Iwent to get filled with the Holy
Ghost and a beam of light camefrom the ceiling, hit me in my
(20:48):
head, went all the way to myfeet and I was filled with the
Holy Ghost and instantly healedAll cancer, left her instantly.
Ha, ha, ha ha.
How many like to run the deviloff?
Amen, get filled with the HolyGhost, praise the Lord, amen,
and drink until you feel ha, ha,ha, ha.
(21:11):
Glory to God, amen.
So I just learned from him.
So sometimes you might laugh,right, sometimes you might heavy
, can't sit up, can't even standup, you just fall out.
That's why a lot of times Ijust lay hands on people, right
(21:33):
where they're sitting.
They don't have far to fall andI don't have to catch them.
I'm just going to lay hands onthem, grab the chair, do
whatever you can do.
You say well, how come peoplefall?
Well, the same reason thesoldiers fell when Jesus raised
from the dead, same reason inthe Old Testament, the glory
filled the temple and thepriests couldn't even stand up
(21:53):
to minister.
That glory means heavy Presenceof God, the glory which is why
you have to get a new bodybefore you go to heaven.
You understand, you go toheaven without your natural body
, then you're gonna get a newbody.
Otherwise the glory in heaven.
You understand, you go toheaven without your natural body
, then you're gonna get a newbody.
Otherwise the glory in heaven.
You just be laying around allthe time.
(22:18):
You getting the glory in thepresence of God.
You know You're like how longwe gonna be up here.
So God is gonna give you aglorious body.
They're gonna give you aglorious body.
Ha ha ha.
Glorified body.
Whoa, you gonna be somethingthen.
Amen, amen, why so you cancontain that.
(22:38):
Go ahead and laugh about that.
Amen, you got a bright future.
I'm telling you so Dad Hagenwould say when that anointing is
flowing like it's been doinghere tonight.
Sometimes you lay hands onpeople, but you don't always
have to, because the book ofActs it says the Holy Ghost just
(23:00):
fell on them right where theywere seated, so some of y'all
already been drinking.
You don't have to lay hands onyourself, you just got filled.
If you received it, recognizeit, yield to that anointing the
power of God.
Our three times in the book ofActs they laid hands on people.
(23:22):
There's a doctrine in thechurch laying on the hands.
So what dad Hagen would dodifferent times?
He'd go around and just layhands on people and most of the
time that anointing is tangible.
Because in St Louis he laidhands on me and Trina and other
preachers and said I want you tocarry this glory, I'm gonna
(23:45):
place my honor on you and I wantyou to carry it.
Well, I don't have to carry it,I've got plenty of sermons.
I can just teach the word andsend you home with a lecture and
more information.
But some stuff don't happenwith information, it happens
with impartation.
So he said I want you to carryit.
(24:06):
So we decided, lord, we comeinto a church and the Lord said
that's a drinking meeting, we go, all right, we're gonna be
drinking tonight, amen.
And so here's what dad Hagenwould do.
So I just follow his pattern.
When that anointing would come,it's here right now.
When that anointing would come,I feel it in my hand, feels
like electricity in my handsright now.
(24:28):
Right, I got that from him,comes from Jesus, but it came
through him.
And when that anointing'sflowing, then he would just come
around and lay hands on you,sometimes tap you on the head
and most of the time he wouldsay be blessed A few times.
He said something a littledifferent, but that's different.
But most of the time he wouldsay be blessed A few times.
(24:49):
He said something a littledifferent, but that's different.
But most of the time he'd saybe blessed.
Anybody wanna know whathappened?
I received that anointing andthe blessing of the Lord.
I'd go home to my church and ourfinances would go up from
10,000 a week to $20,000 a week.
I'd go back and say hit me onemore time and he'd hit me in the
(25:11):
head.
I believe I received thatanointing.
Our finances went up to $30,000a week.
He hit me one more time.
It went up to $40,000 a week.
Hit me again went up to $50,000a week.
Hit me again went up to $60,000a week.
Hit me again went up to $60,000a week.
Hit me again went up to $70,000a week.
(25:32):
And now it's gone way past that.
Now, well, I believe in theblessing.
I say just hit me one more time.
Praise the Lord.
Well, the blessing of the Lord,amen.
I believe in the power of thatblessing.
I believe in the power of theanointing Amen.
So, before he would get theanointing strong here right now,
(25:53):
before he would get to me.
I would say this when he getsclose to me or if he touches me,
I believe I receive theanointing.
It's the anointing that doesthe work.
It's the anointing that bringsthe blessing and you can get a
fresh anointing of the HolyGhost, or you can get an
increased measure of anointing.
(26:15):
Ha ha, ha, ha, woo, amen.
So in just a minute, trent isgonna help me here.
We're just gonna walk around.
We're not gonna pray for you,I'm just gonna tap you in the
head.
That's all I'm doing.
There ain't gonna be no prayer,come on, it's just I'm gonna
(26:37):
tap you in the head.
Come on.
The woman with the issue ofblood when she touched the heart
, the hem of Jesus' garment,when she just touched it, she
didn't have a counseling session.
She didn't say could we talk awhile?
No, she just touched.
She didn't even get a grip onit.
One touch ran the devil out ofher body.
12 years been trying to killher and one touch of the
(26:59):
anointing healed her, just likethat.
Jesus didn't even know who didit.
He's like who did that?
She said I can tell by lookingat you.
Amen, ha, ha, ha.
So we're just going to walkaround.
I'm just going to tap you inthe head, amen, not hit you.
(27:22):
I'm not going to hit your heart, unless you look stubborn.
But uh, just uh, you know, justa little little touch, amen,
little tap.
I don't know why, but DadHiggins, he had a ring, you know
, and so sometimes he would justkind of hit you in the head and
you're kind of man.
I think I got a knot on my head, but I sure am blessed, it's a
(27:45):
bonk.
So if I hit you too hard it'sbecause you're stubborn.
The Holy Ghost wanted me to hityou, but no, I won't hit you
hard, just a little touch, amen.
And Trent is going to work withme and we're just going to lay
hands on everybody that's here.
Ha ha, ha, hallelujah, ha ha,hallelujah.

Waiting to sit down for aminute.
Praise the Lord.
I don't know about you, but Isure am blessed.
How many of y'all been drinking.
(01:56):
Somebody said what did you doSunday night?
I went out drinking, man, I'vebeen drinking.
Amen ha ha.
Don't be drunk with wine, butbe filled.
I went out drinking man, I'vebeen drinking.
Amen, don't be drunk with wine,but be filled with the Spirit.
When it says be filled with theSpirit, it literally means to
be being filled, or it means tobe filled and filled again.
(02:21):
How many glad you got filledagain.
Amen.
I love what Smith Wigglesworthsaid in his book Ever-Increasing
Faith.
He said our only safeguard fromdropping back to our natural
mind.
You know the problem with yournatural mind.
(02:43):
Your natural mind is a problem.
You say, what problem is it?
Well, first, corinthians 2, 14says the natural man cannot
receive the things of the spiritof God, for they are
spiritually discerned.
So if you stay in the natural,the intellectual, the mental,
then the devil can whip you.
Plus, he said you can't receivethe things of God.
(03:05):
Doesn't say you're a bad person, just says you live in the
natural too much.
How many like to step out ofthe natural and get over in the
realm of the spirit?
Amen, be filled with the HolyGhost, amen, ha ha.
So Wigglesworth again, he saidour only safeguard from dropping
back to our natural mind, fromwhich we can receive nothing
(03:27):
from God.
Try that one more time.
Our only safeguard from droppingback to our natural mind, from
which we can receive nothingfrom God, our only safeguard
from dropping back to ournatural mind, he said, is to be
filled and filled again with theHoly Spirit.
How many's to be filled andfilled again with the Holy
Spirit?
How many like to be filled andfilled again?
(03:48):
Amen, he said the Holy Spiritwill fill you.
He said he'll think throughyour mind, speak through your
lips and he'll magnify Jesus.
How many like Jesus?
It gets so big.
All your problems get reallittle.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
I said when you're filled withthe Holy Ghost, he, it gets so
big.
All your problems get reallittle.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
I said when you're filled withthe Holy Ghost, it makes Jesus
so big and all your problemsreal little.
(04:11):
Amen.
So he says I want to get youout beyond all human thoughts
and plans into the fullness ofthe vision of the presence of
God.
Amen To be filled.
He said we are commanded by Godto be filled with the spirit
and he said the measure you failof that.
You are that far short of theplan of God for your life.
(04:35):
Y'all still with me here.
In other words, we're commandedby God to be filled and filled
again.
So you and I must have a choiceto be filled and filled again.
Actually, right, you and I musthave a choice to be filled and
filled again.
Actually, right there inEphesians it says, speaking to
yourselves, in psalms and hymnsand spiritual songs, amen.
While we're singing amen, jesussaid come and drink.
(04:58):
So really, you're just drinking, you're singing.
In other words, you can't drinkwith your mouth shut, right?
I know something about drinking.
Praise the Lord, you can't getintoxicated if you don't drink.
Y'all still here.
And if you drink, right, youknow you need some drinking
friends.
I mean glad you came to churchon Sunday night, got some
(05:23):
drinking friends, hey man.
And then you came to church onSunday night, got some drinking
friends, amen.
And then you got to have somedrinking music.
I mean, glad to have somedrinking music.
Come on, you drink and amen.
And while you're speaking, thePsalm 10 spiritual song, he said
you're drinking right untilyou're filled, praise the Lord.
Filled and filled again.
(05:43):
Hallelujah, hallelujah, amen.
And so we just kept drinkingand singing and got filled, amen
, filled full of joy and full ofthe Holy Ghost.
Ha ha ha, amen.
When you're under the influenceyou drink until you get under
(06:06):
the influence.
So you drink until you're underthe influence and you can tell
when you get filled, because youget full of joy, amen.
You get full of the love of God, amen.
And everybody looks better whenyou're filled with the Holy
Ghost.
You don't see everybody's faultso much, amen.
And then you're actually betterlooking.
(06:29):
When you're full of joy in theHoly Ghost, look at somebody and
say you might consider that Nowyou get filled with the Holy
Ghost and you're more attractive.
Amen, thank God for the HolyGhost.
In other words, that joy PeterPeter says is joy unspeakable.
But he said that joy is full ofglory.
(06:50):
You know what the glory is?
Right, the glory is themanifested presence of God, amen
.
That joy is not not regular joy.
He calls it joy in the HolyGhost.
So it's supernatural joy whichwill actually produce
supernatural results, he said.
And that joy is a container forthe glory of God.
(07:11):
That's why Dad Hagin said inthese kind of meetings I call
them is it what Holy Ghostmeetings?
Or sometimes I call them adrinking meet we got teaching
meetings, come on.
We had that this morning and alittle bit tonight, but I've got
a lot more to teach.
But I'll just have to come backagain as soon as possible.
(07:31):
We'll come back again so I canfinish my sermon.
Right, but a drinking meeting,a drinking meeting is where you
come, come on and you get in thepresence of the Lord, amen.
And you drink, drink and youget in the presence of the Lord,
amen.
And you drink, drink and whileyou're drinking, while you're
drinking, you're drinking yourhealing.
(07:52):
Come on, not just thinkinghealing, I'm drinking healing.
Now, y'all know what I'mtalking about.
Some people got all theirthinking healing.
You know scriptures out.
Well, that's wonderful, but youalso have some drinking healing
.
Drinking from the Holy Ghost,amen, praying in the Holy Ghost,
(08:12):
getting full of joy, amen.
Drinking Healing, ha ha ha.
But you're also drinking untilyou lose all your worries, all
the things that have beenirritating you, amen, things
you've been worried about.
You just cast all your cares onthe Lord.
Come on, you have yourresponsibility, but you ain't
(08:33):
worried about it.
Go ahead and laugh about that,say I ain't worried.
Come on, people in the worldare uptight, you know, and angry
and irritated and you come inwith peace and joy and the Holy
Ghost, hallelujah.
So Dad Higgins said these HolyGhost meetings or we call them
drinking meetings, not thinkingmeetings I always say don't be
(09:00):
frustrated, god's not opposed toyour thinking.
He actually thinks differentthan you think, but if you'll
drink better, you'll actuallythink better.
So you're drinking amen, filledwith the Holy Ghost, and the
Holy Ghost begins to change theway you think.
He can even change yourpersonality.
(09:21):
Look at somebody and say youmight consider that I said he
can change your personality.
What somebody and say you mightconsider that I said he can
change your personality.
What does that mean?
You're not stuck with that uglything.
You got that you call yourpersonality, not you, of course,
but somebody watching online.
You ain't stuck.
People say well, that's justthe way I am.
Get filled with the Holy Ghost.
(09:41):
He'll change every bit of that.
Amen, he'll change yourpersonality.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Fill you up with joy.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, amen.
And so Dad Hagin said in theseHoly Ghost meetings, or drinking
meetings, he said while thatanointing is flowing, he said
(10:02):
joy in the Holy Ghost.
He said people will just startlaughing.
Get full of joy, amen.
Then he said some people, theynormally get so heavy.
You just glory, you just feellike heavy, you're just kind of
like.
You're just like heavy.
What's the word?
(10:23):
Heavy means loaded with thegoodness of God.
Loaded heavy that's one of thewords for glory.
Heavy, loaded with what?
All?
The goodness of God.
When you're in the glory, thenyou have changes from glory to
(10:45):
glory, changes you've beentrying to produce yourself and
yet the Holy Ghost does it whileyou're drinking.
I always like to say, whileyou're drinking here, something
is happening back at your house.
Come on.
I like to say, while you'redrinking here, something is
happening in your future.
Amen, come on.
(11:05):
While you're rejoicing here,god's doing something in your
future.
Come on, he's making darknesslight before you.
He's making crooked thingsstraight, he's making provision
for you.
And when you get there a monthfrom now, three months from now,
you're gonna say look like theLord has already been here and
already got things prearranged.
(11:25):
Go ahead and laugh for a minute.
Ha, he got it prearranged.
He went ahead of you.
I said he went ahead of you,got things prearranged for you
so you don't have to worry, haveanxiety.
Uh, glory to God.
I got drunk in the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
(11:46):
And CS Lewis, my favorite quote,said that joy is the serious
business of heaven.
In other words, to the naturalperson it would look silly, but
to the spiritual person they saythey're taking care of serious
business.
In other words, things youcouldn't take care of.
Naturally, the Holy Ghost takescare of it for you while you're
(12:10):
drinking.
If I was you, I'd just keep ondrinking.
I'd say, man, I'm gonna do alittle drinking, amen, I'm gonna
drink until I get under theinfluence, amen.
So Dad Hagin said, in this kindof a meeting the Holy Ghost
meeting, different kind ofmeeting you know we need to have
different kinds of meetings.
(12:31):
Amen, thank God for teachingand all that.
But there's also other kinds ofmeetings.
And so if you're a believer,this would be a believer's
meeting, amen, amen,spirit-filled, believer, holy
Ghost meeting.
So he said in these meetings,holy Ghost meetings, there would
be a demonstration of the HolySpirit, amen.
(12:52):
So he said joy would be one ofthose.
So he said people will startlaughing, the joy will bubble up
.
Ha, ha, ha.
You don't need no comedian, yougot the Holy Ghost.
A lot of comedians go out ofwork.
They don't have no work becauseyou got joy in the Holy Ghost,
(13:13):
you don't need nobody to tellyou a joke to laugh at.
You got joy in the Holy Ghost,amen, amen.
So that joy, you start startlaughing.
Or heavy, heavy, sometimesyou're just like heavy.
You just feel like just kind oflaying down that heavy,
(13:33):
blessing, anointing the presenceof God.
Come on, fill you up, fill youup, ha ha ha.
Come on, fill you up, fill youup.
Ha ha ha ha.
Taking care of serious business.
Now my mother, what she would doin the glory, the presence of
(13:54):
God would come in my mother.
She would run.
You know, she might jump alittle bit, amen.
Even in her 80s she'd still bedoing a little jumping around
like that.
And then she'd like to runaround the church.
So she would get a couple ofrunners to run with her One on
each side.
When she got older, she had tworunners and they'd run and they
(14:16):
felt like you needed to run.
They could tell by looking atmost people If you needed to run
.
They'd on run with us.
And while you're running that'sa demonstration of the Holy
Spirit, because you believe Godis turning your morning into
(14:38):
dancing come on, turning yoursour into joy.
So, while the Holy Ghost isworking, things are turning.
Things are turning, amen.
Things are turning.
Ha ha ha.
Paul said the supply of theSpirit and it will turn to my
salvation Through the power ofthe Holy Spirit.
(15:00):
Things will turn to my.
What Salvation deliverance,safety, healing, preservation,
soundness and blessing.
It was all turning while I wasbeing filled with the Holy Ghost
.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
Look at somebody and say youneed to practice.
In other words practice.
(15:31):
In other words full of joy andfull of the Holy Ghost.
I said full of joy, full of theHoly Ghost, ha ha ha.
So my mother, she likes to kindof run, dance a little bit, but
Dad Hagen, he would dance.
He said so there's a blessingyou receive when you dance.
Now, I don't know, there mightbe different kinds of dances.
(15:55):
We don't have no classes.
Don't bring your leotards andwe're going to show you how to
do it.
We don't have your leotards andwe're going to show you how to
do it.
We don't have no classes.
So there must be differentkinds of dancing, right?
So when we don't just have one.
But the Bible says when Daviddanced, he danced with all of
(16:15):
his might, but he's he's a bigwarrior.
You know, when I was in NewZealand preaching, they did what
they call the, uh, what theycall the Haka dance.
Right, you can get, you canfind it on YouTube.
And so, uh, the, the NewZealand all blacks, which is the
(16:36):
rugby team, or they call itfootball, we don't really call
it.
You're from New Zealand, uh,the, the, the haka tribe, or
whatever it is right, and sothey would.
They would do theirs there inFiji, same thing, and they do
the, the haka dance, and that'ssome big, strong men.
So I had a Holy Ghost meeting inNew Zealand and the Holy Ghost
broke out and they had a wholedifferent kind of dance.
(16:57):
They would do the.
It's called a haka dance, Ithink right, and so they go.
They would do the.
It's called a hockey dance, Ithink right, and so they'd go
and they would stomp like that,and then they made up a Holy
Ghost song with that dance, andthen they would always it's very
aggressive Amen, because that'sthe only tribe that the during
(17:24):
during World War II, that theNazis could not conquer.
And they would get together andthey'd go oh, you wanna come
over to my house?
And then they would end it,stick their tongue out and go.
That means I'm gonna cut yourthroat.
So the Holy Ghost get a hold ofyou and you might wanna go.
(17:47):
I wanna let the devil know I'mfreaking to cut his throat.
And so Paul said he'd crush theSatan underneath your feet.
So sometimes you'll be dancinglike that.
So Dad Hagin, even in his 80s,come on.
Even in his 80s, come on.
He won his 80s then on theincrease, and he just start
(18:12):
dancing when he'd be dancinglike this in his 80s.
You know and here's what hesaid there's a blessing you
receive when you dance in theHoly Ghost.
He said you can't get it anyother way, so I just watch him.
(18:32):
If he started doing it, I said,well, I'm just gonna act like
him.
I don't know how to do it, butI don't think he does either.
So I just started dancing likehim.
Anybody wanna know whathappened?
The blessing of the Lord.
Joy in the Holy Ghost willbring the blessing of the Lord.
(18:58):
So we did Holy Ghost meetings.
I'd go to Dad Higgins, becauseyou have to learn how to flow
with the Holy Ghost.
I said you have to learn how toreceive, or learn how to yield,
or find out what channel he'son.
Amen, because if you're on AMand he's on FM.
(19:20):
You're like, well, I ain'tgetting nothing, that's cause
you're on the wrong channel,ding dong.
So you gotta get off the mentalchannel, amen, and get on the
spirit channel, and that's wherehe's broadcasting, right there
on that channel, or that's thechannel that you receive the
anointing in.
Go ahead and laugh for a minute, ha ha ha.
Now I'm gonna show you a littlebit more about this.
(19:44):
Because Dad Hagen said becauseDad Hagen taught on faith, the
best faith teaching I've everlearned from Kenneth Hagen Very
simple, how to live by faith,walk by faith.
But he said I taught peoplefaith to the best of my ability
and they never were healed untilthey got filled with the Holy
(20:06):
Ghost.
And he could teach faith prettygood.
I taught them their rights,taught them what belonged to
them, but they knew faith, theyknew the scripture.
But he said they never gothealed until they got filled
with the Holy Ghost.
Not just one case, he said.
I can tell you many cases Onethat had terminal cancer and the
(20:26):
lady that Hagen went over theirhouse and knew that you know
she was dying with cancer wentover there and she was eating a
bowl of chili.
He was like what are you doing?
She said well, I went down tothe Pentecostal church, full
gospel church, and she said Iwent to get filled with the Holy
Ghost and a beam of light camefrom the ceiling, hit me in my
(20:48):
head, went all the way to myfeet and I was filled with the
Holy Ghost and instantly healedAll cancer, left her instantly.
Ha, ha, ha ha.
How many like to run the deviloff?
Amen, get filled with the HolyGhost, praise the Lord, amen,
and drink until you feel ha, ha,ha, ha.
(21:11):
Glory to God, amen.
So I just learned from him.
So sometimes you might laugh,right, sometimes you might heavy
, can't sit up, can't even standup, you just fall out.
That's why a lot of times Ijust lay hands on people, right
(21:33):
where they're sitting.
They don't have far to fall andI don't have to catch them.
I'm just going to lay hands onthem, grab the chair, do
whatever you can do.
You say well, how come peoplefall?
Well, the same reason thesoldiers fell when Jesus raised
from the dead, same reason inthe Old Testament, the glory
filled the temple and thepriests couldn't even stand up
(21:53):
to minister.
That glory means heavy Presenceof God, the glory which is why
you have to get a new bodybefore you go to heaven.
You understand, you go toheaven without your natural body
, then you're gonna get a newbody.
Otherwise the glory in heaven.
You understand, you go toheaven without your natural body
, then you're gonna get a newbody.
Otherwise the glory in heaven.
You just be laying around allthe time.
(22:18):
You getting the glory in thepresence of God.
You know You're like how longwe gonna be up here.
So God is gonna give you aglorious body.
They're gonna give you aglorious body.
Ha ha ha.
Glorified body.
Whoa, you gonna be somethingthen.
Amen, amen, why so you cancontain that.
(22:38):
Go ahead and laugh about that.
Amen, you got a bright future.
I'm telling you so Dad Hagenwould say when that anointing is
flowing like it's been doinghere tonight.
Sometimes you lay hands onpeople, but you don't always
have to, because the book ofActs it says the Holy Ghost just
(23:00):
fell on them right where theywere seated, so some of y'all
already been drinking.
You don't have to lay hands onyourself, you just got filled.
If you received it, recognizeit, yield to that anointing the
power of God.
Our three times in the book ofActs they laid hands on people.
(23:22):
There's a doctrine in thechurch laying on the hands.
So what dad Hagen would dodifferent times?
He'd go around and just layhands on people and most of the
time that anointing is tangible.
Because in St Louis he laidhands on me and Trina and other
preachers and said I want you tocarry this glory, I'm gonna
(23:45):
place my honor on you and I wantyou to carry it.
Well, I don't have to carry it,I've got plenty of sermons.
I can just teach the word andsend you home with a lecture and
more information.
But some stuff don't happenwith information, it happens
with impartation.
So he said I want you to carryit.
(24:06):
So we decided, lord, we comeinto a church and the Lord said
that's a drinking meeting, we go, all right, we're gonna be
drinking tonight, amen.
And so here's what dad Hagenwould do.
So I just follow his pattern.
When that anointing would come,it's here right now.
When that anointing would come,I feel it in my hand, feels
like electricity in my handsright now.
(24:28):
Right, I got that from him,comes from Jesus, but it came
through him.
And when that anointing'sflowing, then he would just come
around and lay hands on you,sometimes tap you on the head
and most of the time he wouldsay be blessed A few times.
He said something a littledifferent, but that's different.
But most of the time he wouldsay be blessed A few times.
(24:49):
He said something a littledifferent, but that's different.
But most of the time he'd saybe blessed.
Anybody wanna know whathappened?
I received that anointing andthe blessing of the Lord.
I'd go home to my church and ourfinances would go up from
10,000 a week to $20,000 a week.
I'd go back and say hit me onemore time and he'd hit me in the
(25:11):
head.
I believe I received thatanointing.
Our finances went up to $30,000a week.
He hit me one more time.
It went up to $40,000 a week.
Hit me again went up to $50,000a week.
Hit me again went up to $60,000a week.
Hit me again went up to $60,000a week.
Hit me again went up to $70,000a week.
(25:32):
And now it's gone way past that.
Now, well, I believe in theblessing.
I say just hit me one more time.
Praise the Lord.
Well, the blessing of the Lord,amen.
I believe in the power of thatblessing.
I believe in the power of theanointing Amen.
So, before he would get theanointing strong here right now,
(25:53):
before he would get to me.
I would say this when he getsclose to me or if he touches me,
I believe I receive theanointing.
It's the anointing that doesthe work.
It's the anointing that bringsthe blessing and you can get a
fresh anointing of the HolyGhost, or you can get an
increased measure of anointing.
(26:15):
Ha ha, ha, ha, woo, amen.
So in just a minute, trent isgonna help me here.
We're just gonna walk around.
We're not gonna pray for you,I'm just gonna tap you in the
head.
That's all I'm doing.
There ain't gonna be no prayer,come on, it's just I'm gonna
(26:37):
tap you in the head.
Come on.
The woman with the issue ofblood when she touched the heart
, the hem of Jesus' garment,when she just touched it, she
didn't have a counseling session.
She didn't say could we talk awhile?
No, she just touched.
She didn't even get a grip onit.
One touch ran the devil out ofher body.
12 years been trying to killher and one touch of the
(26:59):
anointing healed her, just likethat.
Jesus didn't even know who didit.
He's like who did that?
She said I can tell by lookingat you.
Amen, ha, ha, ha.
So we're just going to walkaround.
I'm just going to tap you inthe head, amen, not hit you.
(27:22):
I'm not going to hit your heart, unless you look stubborn.
But uh, just uh, you know, justa little little touch, amen,
little tap.
I don't know why, but DadHiggins, he had a ring, you know
, and so sometimes he would justkind of hit you in the head and
you're kind of man.
I think I got a knot on my head, but I sure am blessed, it's a
(27:45):
bonk.
So if I hit you too hard it'sbecause you're stubborn.
The Holy Ghost wanted me to hityou, but no, I won't hit you
hard, just a little touch, amen.
And Trent is going to work withme and we're just going to lay
hands on everybody that's here.
Ha ha, ha, hallelujah, ha ha,hallelujah.
(28:06):
I believe I receive, come on.
I believe I receive, come on.
I believe I receive Freshanointing of the Holy Ghost, the
blessing of the Lord, thepresence of the Lord to be
filled and filled again, full ofjoy and full of the Holy Ghost.
Ha ha, ha, ha.
(28:28):
Now open your mouth wide andjust receive.
Thank you, lord, hallelujah.
