Lucis mc dowar episode Love That Gamein and of the Standing the Ride,
(00:22):
All Bagging of the Standing Rides.Hello, thank God, by what'some?
(00:47):
Mcdiv me by good night Here.I am Lucius McDowell ready to give you
the word of the Lord and thepertains to live in right. You know,
in these days we have living earlesstimes and we need instructions for living
right. I'll tell you one thingthat we cannot just think that we can
jump up every day and just moveand go about our own way without getting
(01:10):
any instructions from God. Every dayis a check in day. I heard
someone say this weekend and say,before you even read the newspaper, you
need to check in with God.I want to go in and say before
you turn on the TV, youneed to check in with God. Before
you do, absolutely do anything,check in with God so that you can
get instructions for living right. BecauseGod knows that he has already orchestrated today.
(01:33):
You know, there's a great scripturethat says, you know, this
is the day that the Lord hasmade. Let us rejoice and be glad
in it will. It's the daythat the Lord has made. Let's rejoice
and be glad, but let usknow what's gonna happen in the day.
I do believe that that you checkin with God, God will begin to
give you instructions concerning live in right, can do what is right, to
represent Him in every area of yourwalk, in your talk. You know,
(01:53):
I want to walk and talk withJesus every day while my life is
in a double Him in every way. I want to just do my very
best to live holy and to liveas close to the Word of God as
I can. Because you never knowwho's watching you. Remember, no matter
where you are, no matter whereyou go, somebody is always watching over
(02:14):
to God. So tonight we're gonnabe talking about the subject matter of maintaining
moving into the supernatural, increase andstand in faith, and we're gonna jump
in some good movement patterns tonight.Let you know that sometimes when you ask
to move, God actually to makemovement, and then sometimes there would be
some times He tell you to standstill and know that He has gotten I
want you to know just because you'restanding still, it doesn't mean that you're
(02:37):
not moving. You're moving and you'reflowing by the power of God. You
gotta understand it that as you beginto slow with God, God will bring
you closer and closer into that supernaturalabundance. So tonight again we jump right
into this because we know. SecondTimothy the third chapter, the sixteenth through
the seventeen verse, I said,every time we have a podcast while because
(02:57):
they come in by hearing and hearhim by the word of God. The
more we proclaim it, the morewe begin to hear it, and not
only hear it, but imagine it, and not only imagine it, just
begin to be it. Our scriptureis given by inspiration of God, and
it's profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instructions in righteousness.
I like that, for it's profitablefor doctrine, profitable for reproof,
(03:20):
for correction, and for instructions inrighteousness, that the Man of God may
be perfect thoroughly furnished until all goodworks. I believe that God wanted to
come to this place what we livelife based on His word. Let me
tell you something about the Word ofGod. Is something about the Word of
God when it heath in her asthe way the Word of God will remain.
(03:44):
So that means that once we getourselves really in growth engulfed in the
word of God, we will beginto be changed from the inside of being
just like him. Now, I'lltell you something, when you don't get
the word in you, you endup being so far away from Him.
People are perishing for the lack ofknowledge. And it's not that the knowledge
is not there, because in thesesixty six books. Let me tell you,
God has some instructions for us concerningliving. Right overse support chapter the
(04:08):
seventh verse, it says, wisdomis the pressible thing. Therefore, get
whistling with all that getting get understanding. You need understanding on what it is,
how it is that you're supposed tobe living glower to God. Well,
I want to jump into foundation ofscriptures because one of the things that
(04:29):
I tapped into over in Deuteronomy Doteronomythe thirtieth chapter. It's a very important
foundation piece as we begin to kindof start laying this thing out in Deuteronomy
the thirtieth chapter, Lower to God, I'm going to get there right,
going to read it from the HolyBible to guy, it's nothing like turning
the pages of the Bible, isnothing like hearing the words slip right before
(04:53):
your very old eyes. Lower toGod. Well, I'm going to start
right quickly. At verse number fifteen, he says, See, I have
set before the day life and goodand death and evil. In that I
command thee this day to love theLord thy God, love the Lord thy
(05:13):
God, to walk in his ways, to walk in his ways, and
to keep his commandments and his statuesand his judgments. That thou mayest live
and multipplied, that thou may livein mostile. One translation say live and
increases. And I like that becausemy message this year hath been moving into
the supernatural increase. But the wayyou get there, you got to stay
(05:35):
in safe glory to God. Buthe goes on and he says, and
the Lord that God shall bless theein the land, whether thou goest to
possess it, whether thou goest topossess it. In other words, He's
gonna bless you where you are enteringinto possess it. And I already believe
that that God has abundance made upfor us. This system that we live
(05:57):
in right now, wee for thewicked, is laid up for the justice.
Because we are the just, youknow, we are the rightetes of
God. We will begin to youknow, own houses that we didn't even
buy, dig you know, onland that we didn't even dig ditches in.
And I mean, this is awonderful, wonderful opportunity for you to
get your faith out there. Butas you get your faith out that,
you've got to begin to understand thatit requires movement, and that movement is
(06:19):
a self motivated action based on anintrinsic goal. It is a desire to
change what is into that what couldbe, that what it could be.
And as we move into or intoit is how it depicts a direction that
you go into. We're going tobe moving into an intrinsic goal, into
the supernatural increase of God that isoperating above and beyond this world system.
(06:46):
That means that God's super oninatural toget things done, his glory be manifested
in our lives. How would youfeel every time when you got a word
from the Lord? You can seethe glory of the Lord or being man
of this right before your very ownNow, the word increase here, it
needs to become progressively greater in sizeand amount, in number and intensity.
(07:11):
And I want you to understand thatthis thing is very real because God is
blessing folk left in right, he'sblessing those individuals who are in faith than
in faith and making sure that they'rea making movement. And the Lord told
us this year is he want usto move in move in faith. He
want us to move up high,to begin to think just like him and
begin to imagine, to have abig imagination just like it is. And
(07:31):
not only that, he want usto move out once we have obtained this,
and we got to move out withconfidence in knowing that He gave it
to us. Because He gave itto us, nobody can take it away
from us. You know, Ilove it when that's old song, this
joy that I have. The worlddidn't give it to me. The world
didn't give it in the world can'ttake it away nobody, but Jesus gave
it to me. In because ofthe finished work on the Cross, I
(07:54):
now can begin to just be choicein knowing that authority that has been in
that's did in me. Because I'vegot that authority invested to me. You
know, I have to go backand just shout the victory because now it's
my responsibility to operate in faith basedon the very thing that God has given
me. Well of. In Hebrewsa tip chapter started with the thirty eighth.
(08:16):
First it says not that Jeff shalllive by faith, but if any
man draw back by if any mandraw bactice to the king James version of
reading, my soul shall have nopleasure in him. In other words,
God will send it if you drawback, if you get to the place
that's going to cause me to notreally be happy with you. And it
(08:37):
goes on and says, but weare not of them who draw back onto
tradition, And that word tradition isalmost like the smell of a stinch old
animal, something not really good.But them that believe into the saving of
the soul. So we will walkon. We will walk by faith,
and we'll keep doing what we're supposedto do. Let me give you that
word. The Greek word for forf is for faith and always describes the
(09:01):
force that is moving forward, theforce that's always moving forward. I love
this, praise the Lord. Sowe jump right in the Hebrews of eleven
and one is just now. Faithis the substance of things forth, the
evidence of things not seen, theevidence of things not seen. So this
means that you know, I standon the word, moving forward and leaving
(09:24):
God that for everything that he haspromised me, it shall and the will
come to pass. I want toknow tonight that faith refuses to be and
undepression, It refuses to break,it refuses to bulge from the promise of
God. If God has promised ussomething, I want you to understand that
He will make it good. Hewill not lie because he cannot lie.
(09:48):
And we got to begin to beginto really really really jump jump. Jumping
is to make sure that we areunderstanding that you know, even as God
has promised of something, it shalland it will japans. You know,
the Word of the Lord teaches thatall of the promises of God are yes
and amen. So that means thatyou've got a responsibility, and that responsibility
(10:09):
is to make sure that you theyfirmly planted on the word of God.
You got to make sure that youare not doing anything that will go against
the will of God. And ifGod said it, then so be it.
Over the Book of Numbers, Chaptertwenty three, verse number nineteen,
he says God is not a manthat he should lie, not that the
son of man that he should repent. Has he said it had has he
(10:33):
repented it has he said? Andshall he not do it? Or has
he spoken? And shall he notmake it good? Every time God gives
you a word, he will alwaysmake good on that word, will always
prove that work. Because He isGod and there is none like him.
I say, he is God andthere is none like him. Our job
(10:56):
is going to be found right overin number one. Love this one because
this is something that we got tocome to the place of we cannot.
We got to learn how to makemovement when he tells us to make movement,
But we got to learn to standwhen he tells us to stand,
you know. Over so number oneit says, blessed is the man that
walk is in That walk is notin the council of the ungodly, nor
(11:22):
standing in the way of sinners,nor sitting in the seat of the scoring.
For notice, there are a coupleof things here. He says,
who walk is not in the councilof the ungodlys, which means that if
you are a man or woman agun, watch your company and that you're
keeping because if you're keeping company whereit's ungodly people, they're gonna try to
introduce you to some ungodly things.Before you know it, you begin to
(11:45):
slip in those things that you havebeen rooted and grounded in in a long
time. And let me tell yousomething, it don't matter how long you've
been in it. Being around thebad company could cause you to get off
in a place that's not good.But the Scripture says, blessed if the
man that walketh not in the council, that walking could not in the council
of the ungodly, nor standing inthe way of sinners, nor sitting in
(12:11):
the seat of the scorn. Forthose are always complaining folk, always got
a negative something wants you to benegative on because they are negatives. Get
away from the people. Run fromthem, Run, run, run,
run run. So stands the numbertwo saisens. But his delight, this
is the blessed man. His delightis in the law, oh the Lord.
He says, light is in theWord of God, because that's how
(12:31):
we live, that's how we rollit. In the law. Does he
meditate, He imagines knights and day, glory of gods, the Word of
God, and the Word says insinstead of the three sisters. And he
shall be like a tree planet bythe rivers of waters. Now I'm from
South Georgia. Let me tell yousomething. There is a river that runs
(12:54):
through my city and I grew upin called Albady, Georgia, and it's
the Flint River. If you goby the Flint River, you will see
tall trees. And I'm telling yousome trees that are big tall. There
are some just oak trees so hugethat it's all because I guess them being
by the water. They are there. They got a lot of nutrients just
running to the roots. And letme tell you something, no matter when
(13:16):
the wind blow, no matter howhard it blows, it never takes these
trees down. These trees continue tostand, stand, stand. And I
really believe the God is saying hewant us to come to that place where
we develop in our saints, thatwe can stay in safe regardless of the
wind of life. As to blow. Let the wind blow, let it
(13:37):
blow, let it blow, letit blow. But just because it's blowing,
it will move me off of thepromises of God. It will not
move me off of the things ofGod. And that's why when I get
a word from God, I canbe firm knowing that if God spoke it,
I'll be just like the tree housestree, the trees planted by the
rivers of water, and that bringingforth his fruit in his season, his
(14:01):
leaf shall also not with him,and whatsoever he does, it shall prosper.
I want you to understand that it'sour responsibility that we're supposed to be
bringing fruit in season, bringing fruitin good season now over Hebrews eleven chapters
and six versus says, but withoutfaith, it's impossible to please him.
(14:22):
For he that comeing to God andmust believe that He is, and that
He's a reward of them that diligentlyseeking. You know, last week we
went on and on and on inchapter eleven, and we began to just
talk about all those great men andwomen of faith, and even how they
got that word of God. Andeven when they got the word of God,
they were not moved. They werefirmly fixed, keeping their eyes on
Him, making sure that you know, it didn't matter what was going on.
(14:45):
As for as life circumstances, becauselet me tell you something, as
long as you live, you're gonnaalways have life circumstances. But you've got
to come to the place of understandingthat when you've got something in front of
you that opposes the word of God. That is our opportunity for you to
stand on the word of God andnot compromise. It's the time for you
to stand on the word of Godand open up your mouth and confess it
(15:07):
and say what God has already said. Let him know that you believe that
he is God and you that's whathe says. You know, he says
that it without faith, it's impossibleto please him. For he that comes
to God that got to believe thathe is God. And not not only
he is God, but he isa reward of them that didn't leitly seek
(15:28):
him. So that means if I'mgoing to stand faith, it means I'm
gonna stick with my assignment. I'mgonna stick with my calling other promise that
He gave me, and it's gonnabe my place of faith that I will
not be moved no matter what,because I do know that God will and
he shall answer my call. Hewill answer my christ. You know,
the scripture says when the righteous criesthe Lord hear them, may delivered them
(15:48):
out of all of their afflictions.And I want you to know something that
God is there standing by. He'sstanding by, He's standing by he hears
you in your cry, so thatmeans that you got to over up your
mouth and say something Lord, happening. You know, I don't have no
shame in my game at all,because there are moments when I get a
little down and I have to goback and build myself up in faith.
(16:11):
I have to stir the gift ofGod up on the inside of it.
I have to be on God.I'm not to put it, but I
need you right down to comfort methrough this texts try that I'm going through
because I will get through it,and I'm going to get through it by
faith. I'm holding on and Iwon't let go. I said, I'm
holding on and I won't let gono matter what, I Am going to
get the breakthrough at the very endthat I prayed God. Because again,
(16:34):
faith, it never bends, itnever bulged, it never breaks. It
stands on the promise of God.While because faith is a victory that overcomes
the world, and faith coming whatit comes by hearing and hearing by the
word of God. That's the reasonwhy it's important for you to hear these
type of podcasts, because this isnot a podcast when I'm just speaking and
(16:56):
talking from my head. I amspeed by the words of the Living God
as he's given it to me.I'm giving it to you because you need
this word this out with. Don'tyou turn off this podcast. Don't you
go to the next room. Yousit right down and you listen, and
you get feel up, Feel meup, Lord, feel me up,
(17:18):
and then it overflow tonight. That'swhat I want to just minister out of
my over So not what I'm studying, but I want to minister out of
the overflow because I want you tounderstand that you got to learn to listen,
and you've got to learn to payattention. You got to learn to
keep your eyes on God. Amen. You know one of the things that
(17:38):
things that we've got to make surethat we med as we stay in say
that we keep ourself away from distractedmoments, and that we begin to make
sure that we can move forward knowingthat we have made all our meditations real
in our life, and our meditationsare so real in our life that everybody
(18:00):
can see you moving forward. It'sso wonderful. You can say people like,
man, you are doing and doingwhat what you're talking about. Man,
I see God movies in your life. You're seeing God moving just in
my life. God wants to moveforward in your life just as well.
For in order for God to moveforward in your life, that means out
got to be willing and ob Youknow, I got to stay in safe
(18:22):
and cannot allow peer to get grippedme because if your gripped me, I
end of aborting everything that God hasalready promised. And guess what, too
much too much in store, toomuch, too much that God has given
unto me. Glory to God.But I want to talk about a couple
of characters tonight because I believe thatthis is going to bless you. Because
(18:45):
you know, you've got to beable to have a relationship for yourself.
You can't go on the relationship withyour grandfather, your you know your father.
You got to be able to knowGod for yourself. And let me
tell you something, you really wantto eat the good of the land.
You got to really be obedient.You're gonna walk in obedient, and not
only just walking. You have awilling heart, a willing heart to be
(19:07):
and do the things that God istelling you to do. While in I
in ministry. For me, I'vebeen passionate for now almost twenty five years,
and I pray of our people andthat they will have the heart of
servants to do the things that Godhas call to do. But I can't
make them do what they don't wantto do. And one of the things
I used to always say, God, I just wish they can. And
the Lord said, you gotta prayand release them by faith. And I've
(19:30):
learned as I pray to release themby faith, I have recognized that my
days are even better because it's nodisappointment though. I just know that I'm
going to be patient and win onthem that one day that they're gonna have
the heart to submit and do thethings that they're supposed to be doing.
Now let's look at Abraham, becauseAbraham is a very classic example over in
(19:53):
Genesis, the twelfth chapter, Versenumber I want to start. Reverse number
one is if now the Lord hadsaid onto Abraham, get thee out of
thy country and from thy kindred andfrom thy father's house onto a man that
I will show thee. Okay,I'm just gonna park it right there.
(20:15):
He gives instructions and he tells himwhat he needs to do. Now,
Abraham has a responsibility, and thatis either Abraham will listen to the instruction
of the Almighty God by making amovement, or Abraham will end up doing
the opposite. Now, what dowe say? Moving is defined as a
(20:37):
self motivated action based on an intrinsicgold. Now, what God told him
was, he said, I wantyou to get up or get get thee
out of thy country, from bykindred and from by father's house onto a
land that I will show thee.Wow. Can you imagine that what God
was saying was you know, Ican imagine what abraham thoughts were, like,
(21:02):
Okay, I can get in here, that I can get out of
here, But where am I going? Just keep walking? Can you trust
God to order your footsteps? Canyou trust God that if he told you
this is the route that he wantsyou to take, that you can walk
it out without looking to your rightnor to your life, regardless of what
people are saying, regardless of thedistraction that will come your way, regardless
(21:23):
of what the enemy will try tothrow at you. I'm telling you I
believe that when you get the instructionsof God and when you stand on the
word of God, I do believethat God will honor everything that he said.
He will do. Now, let'sgo back and look at what he
said he'll do. In verse two, he says, and I will make
THEE a great nation, and Iwill bless thee and make by name break,
(21:48):
and thou shall be a blessing.I like this. He's gonna make
him a great nation. He's gonnabless him, he's gonna make his name
great. And he says that he'sgoing to be a blessing. So that
means that he gonna have so muchwealth and riches and so much knowledge and
and just everythings gonna be poured onhim, that he's gonna be able to
be a blessing to other people.What am I saying here? God is
(22:10):
not gonna just beam him up andmake it be all big by himself and
not be able to be a blessingto those that are around him. And
he goes on the verse number between, he says, and I will bless
them that blessed the In other words, he said, that's gonna be favored
poured out in your line. Andhe said, then I'm gonna curse them
that cursing, and that's gonna beprotection. So that means that anybody trying
to come against you. You gotto understand that the battle is not yours.
(22:33):
Don't make no moment to fight theLord. The God stands still and
see the salvation of the Lord.We have too many examples in the Word
of God where those individuals that stoodstill to see the salvation of the Lord,
they saw the deliverance. They sawdeliverance. He goes on, he
says, and then the shall allfamilies of the earth be blessed, All
(22:56):
families of the earth be blessed.So what do you think happened? Abraham
had a choice whether I go orwhether I stay. So in verse number
ten, we can see that therewas a great famine in the land,
and Abraham went down into Egypt tosojourn there. For the famine was grievous
(23:17):
in the land, and it cameto past when he was come near to
the to entry into Egypt, thathe steads unto his to Sarah, his
wife. Behold, now I knowthat thou art a fair woman to look
upon. Therefore it shall come topass when the Egyptians shall see thee that
they shall say, this is hiswife, and they will kill me,
(23:37):
but they will save thee In otherwords, there again Abraham began not to
trust God and just instead of justyou know, he's again to conjureupt some
things. So verse number thirteen issay, I pray THEE thou wert my
sister in that it may be wellwith me for thy sake, and my
soul shall live because of THEE.In other words, they prosa that I
(23:59):
want to leave you, beautiful,this is gonna be your escape, bolder,
and let me live. I'm gonnalive. But looking versus them of
fourteen, and it says, andit came to pass that when Abraham was
coming to Egypt, the Egyptians beheldthat the woman that she was very fair,
that were very family, she wasvery beautiful, She had it going
on. She looked well from thetop of her head all the way to
the folds of her feet. Andthen verse fifteen said the princess also of
(24:22):
Pharaoh, saw her and commended herbefore a pharaoh. And the woman was
taken into Pharaoh's house, and heentreated Abraham well for her sake, and
he had she and oxen, andhe asks, and men's servants and maidservance,
and she asks and camels. Now, I just want to break it
(24:45):
right here because as a result ofhim taking Sarah, Pharaoh ended up giving
Abraham Abram. I'm sorry an increasedbecause Abram did not have those things.
But I want you to understand thatall of a sudden, Pharaoh's house became
troubled and he realized that something wasterribly wrong. And what was terribly wrong
(25:08):
was he was very interested in Sarah. But Sarah was already married to Abraham
because God had already covenant with Abraham. Guess what that wasn't going to happen.
So all of a sudden, Abrahamis approached by pharaohbody said, why
didn't you tell me? You knowthat you were married and so, but
he gave Sarah bac and still Abrahamleft with all of that increase. Now,
(25:33):
if Abraham had never moved when Godtold him to move, now he
didn't have to lie, but hedid. But he did not have to
lie, but he did. However, you know, when he got moving,
he ended up increasing supernaturally because thesewere things that he did not have
for himself. But as he beganto move, there were lessons that were
(25:56):
learned as a result of the movement. I want to jump over to Romans.
The fourth chapter, verse number eighteen. Now, I want you to
understand that there was a lot ofthings that did take place in that in
the book of Genesis, from thefrom the process of even when he told
him that, you know, hewas going to give him a seed and
he's going to you know, beable to produce ethte's own time, and
(26:18):
Abraham realized that, you know,he was of age and all that good
stuff. But even in that,you know, God was still giving him
a word, and he gave themthat word, and that word he had
to believe it. That word,he had to receive it. That word
he had to act on it.That word he had to move into it.
Look at verse number eighteen Romans,chapter four, Who against all,
(26:41):
who against hope, believed in hopethat he might become the father of many
nations, according to that which wasspoken down in the beginning, to believe
that. But he made mistakes,and he made mistakes. And I want
to let you know something that youvery well may make mistakes on the way,
but don't stay in a place ofmiss Always repent and get up,
(27:03):
get moving so that you can getto the place where God would have you.
So here we go. He's gottenstrongly he's gotten better now because God
promised him a son. And youremember what happened with the first one.
He along with Sarah of a producing. It'smail based on the fact that Sarah
knew that she was old of ageand was not able to produce, so
(27:25):
she had her handmade servants to laywith a for him. Now Here is
verse number eighteen and says, whogets hope believed in hope that he might
become the father of many nations,according to that which was spoken, those
shall by seed be. And beingnot weak in faith, he considered not
his own body now dead when hewas about one hundred years old, neither
(27:49):
yet the deadness of sarah womb.Now he was one hundred years old,
and his body was dead. Everythingwas pretty much so just gone. Only
that there's wound. Scripture says,neither yet the deadest of Sarah's wound.
Her wound was dead. He says, well, now, Verse twenty said
he staggered not at the promise ofGod through unbelief, but was strong and
(28:15):
faith So why he staggered not?He stayed with it. He continued to
receive the word of the Lord.He continued to just move forward and knowing
that if God said it, thenit is so. So he staggered now
that the promise of God through throughunbelief, but was strong in faith,
giving glory to God. Now thescripture said in verse twenty one that he
(28:37):
was fully persuaded that what he hadpromised he was able also to perform it.
Not to want to park there fora minute. Now you settled in
your mind? Have you settled inyour heart that what God has promised he
is able to perform it? Orare you just going back and forth.
Maybe he will and maybe he won't. Maybe he will, and maybe he
won't. Maybe he will, maybehe will, he will, he will,
he will, he will, hewill, he won't, he won't,
(29:00):
he won't. It's called being doubleminded people. And let me tell
you something, that double minded bandis unstable in all this ways. That
man can never ever get anything fromGod because he's just like the ways out
on the ocean. You go inand come out, and go in and
come out. But you've got tocome to the place of when God gives
you a word, you must becomesingle minded concerning the very thing that he
(29:22):
said. And God says he's gonnaheal you don't care what kind of sickness
there is upon you. I waslistening to a broadcast today and they was
just having prayer and this prayer meeting. There were people calling in, they
were writing in, and they weregiving requests concerning what they needed in their
bodies, what they're needed in theirbodies, what they needed in their life.
(29:45):
And there were people that were reallystanding on the word of God as
it pertains the healing. There werea couple of people that had prostrate cancer,
that were a couple of people thathad all type of manner of diseases.
But what was so invigorating by faithwas the our leader will take their
requests and begin to speak the Wordof God and remind the people of God
(30:07):
what the Word said. And Ithink every now and then, not every
now, we need to do itall the time. We need to remind
ourselves what the Word of God issaying so that we are able to stay
our grounds, that we can stayin faith regardless of how bad it is,
because as we remain in faith,it's something about having the posture of
(30:29):
standing on the Word of God wheneverything else is feeling, when everything else
is going, when it doesn't makeany sense. God has a way of
coming in and turning midnights intoday Gloryto God. Scripture says that we've been
may endure for a night, butjoy come in glory to God in the
morning. Somebody's got a morning.And I ain't talking about seven hours from
(30:53):
now. I'm talking about in thenext minute, glory to God. I
speak and prophesied into your life nowthat God is turning your darkness into daylight.
And I really need that the justas the morning sun spring for that
healing in your body will spring forglory to God. And not only just
(31:14):
the healing. God wants to proSPfor you just as well. Now I'm
gonna get here because I want toget too for it, because my time
will be gone. But anyway,it says in verse one and being for
the persuadive, that what he hadpromised he was able to perform. Therefore
it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not now it was
(31:34):
not written for his sake a moanthat it was imputed to him. So
now that means that. But yes, Lord, look at verse WHATY for
it? But for us also Ijust want you to underline that, but
for us also now I get anopportunity to get faith based on what has
(31:56):
already been given to Abraham. Sothe scripture says, but for us also
it just jumps outed. It's justto whom it shall be imputed if we
believe on him that raised of Jesusall the way from the dead. Not
come on, Now, who intheir right mind don't believe that? I
shouldn't say that I was I.If I this, every born again believer
(32:17):
should have the mindset that we arewho we are based on the finished work
of Jesus Christ. Jesus died oncavalry, he went to the cross,
he was buried, and then hewas raised from the dead. And because
he was risen, we are risen. We have the same power because of
(32:38):
the finished work of the Cross.Now, because of that, I want
to jump over the Galatians the thirdchapter, the thirteen verse, because I
want you to understand something. Thisis for us what Abraham did back in
the day. Now we can walkin it because the blessings of Abraham.
It's not just for Abraham, andit's just not for the others, but
(32:59):
it is for us us just aswill relations to third chapter, the thirteen
versus is Christ has redeemed us fromthe curse of the law being made a
curse for us. For it iswritten, curse is everyone that hanging on
a tree, that the blessing ofAbraham might come on in Gentiles through Jesus
(33:20):
Christ, that we might receive thepromise of the Spirit ne faith. You
have received the promise of the Spiritthrough faith. Now the blessing is on
your life. Now, let's reallyshout about it now. Because the Bible
says in Proversit ten chapter the twentysecond verse that the blessings of the Lord
it makes us rich. And headded and it added no sorrow with it.
(33:43):
So for a more accurate definition ofthe Lord's messing, it is an
endowment of power resulting in prosperity andsuccess. It is a sign of special
favor. To endow it means tobestowed, to close to crown, and
to lavish upon. For the Lord'sblessing is the nature of its power glory
(34:04):
to God. It's his ability andannoying to bring about prosperity, success in
favor in every area of our lives. Now, in the clear terms of
blessing, is God's empowerment to prosperus. Oh, glory to God.
Think of God blessing this way.It's his ability on your ability. It
(34:25):
gives you the ability to do whatyou could not do before. This is
the supernatural side of the people.Since be put, it is his super
on your natural giving you supernatural abilityto do absolutely anything. I like that
because circumstances, situation can only changefor the better when the blessing shows up.
(34:45):
So therefore, if you've got somethinggoing on in your life, you
need to understand that. You knowyou have the blessing of the Lord on
you, and the blessing of theLord it maketh you rich. Oh,
come on, y'all, no sorrow. That means that you can run through
a wall, go over because youcan leap over a walk. You can
(35:05):
go through anything that is opposing youbecause God is blessing you. Because he's
blessed you, He's caused you tobegin to move in a way like never
before. You can be moving bystaying in the same place. And Jeff,
because you are standing still, itdoes not mean that you are not
moving, because sometimes God will tellyou to just stand still and see the
(35:28):
salvation of the Lord. Hallolujen,and let me give you a good exath
of that. Go to Genesis betweentysix chapters to with verse number one.
Now remember that was the days ofAbraham. But then his son Isaac in
verse one. Soon there was afeminine the land decide, the first femine.
That was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went onto Abila,
(35:50):
king of the Philipstines, unto Jeruff, and the Lord appeared under him and
said, go not down into Egypt. Wait a minute, he told he
told one to go into Egypt.It now he's telling another. Just because
I told you, Dad, andthey do it, don't mean that you're
gonna do it. I'm telling younot to do it, he says,
dwelling the land, which I shalltell thee of Notice God was holding these
(36:12):
these guys accountable by saying, don'tyou take another step until I tell you
what to do. I'm gonna showyou, because the steps of the righteous
men, they are ordered of theLord. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah. So he goes under hesays, sojourn dwelling this man, and
I will be with THEE, andI will bless THEE. For unto thee
(36:32):
and unto thy seed, I willgive all these countries, and I will
perform the oath which I swear untoAbraham by Father. And I will make
thy seed to multiply. That's thestars of heaven. And I will give
unto thy seed all these countries.And in thy seed shall all the nations
(36:55):
of the earth be blessed. Lookverse number five, because that Abraham obeyed
my voice and kept my charge,my commandments, my statues, and my
law, my law, my law, my law, oh my God.
Each of represented looking for another source. And God wanted to be Isaac's source.
And so God told him, don'tgo down in the Egypt. Don't
(37:19):
lean on the arms of your flesh. I am your sauce. And then
God went on and said in versenumber three, he says, so journe,
dwell in this land, and Iwill be with the and I will
bless he for onto d and ontothe seat. I will give all these
countries, and I will perform theoath which I swear unto Abraham by Father.
So God was saying to Isaac,if you obey my voice and stay
(37:42):
right here in this land that Itell you to, saying, I'm gonna
bless you, and I'm gonna bewith you today. God is not only
with us, but he's inside ofus. Because of Him in us,
our nature is of that of obedienceand the blessing. But the long to
of now he learned about the blessingsover the years. That blessed means to
(38:04):
empower, to prosper, empowered toincrease it. That's what we're talking about
this whole year. Empowered to multiply, empowered to excel, empowered to rise
above what holds everything else back.Notice, God says I will bless you.
I will empower you to increase evenin a famdom. Oh oh,
(38:27):
so that means what matters? Whatdoes it matter to God about? You?
Know? Wall Street? What doesit matter to God about You've been
given a pink slip that's just aman made documentary to get you over to
a place to get you to wonder. Will God? Will God get you
through? God is going to getyou through because he said that he would
bless you, and he would dothe very things that he said he would
(38:50):
do. Look at first number twelve, It says then Isaac showed in the
land and received in the same yearand hundredsfold and the Lord bless him,
and the man waxed great and wentforward and grew until he became not only
great, but the scripture says verygreat, for he had possessions of flock,
(39:12):
and possessions of herd, and greatstore of servants, and the philistines
envy. And now noticed, now, remember what happened to the daddy.
What's now happened to the daddy isnow happening to the sun. And it's
happening to the son and the dadbecause they are over into a place of
faith. Now, let me tellyou something. We got to get into
this place of Now, this isnot yet for Abraham, is not yet
(39:35):
for for ISAs, but it isfor you and I just as well,
because we can see that the blessingsof the Lord maketh it rich, and
it as no sorrow. I said, it as no sorry. You know
over in uh in the New KingNew King James version, the New King
James version versus, it says,then I showed then that man, and
(39:58):
in the same year one hundred pold, and the Lord bless said the man
began to prosper and continue frosting untilhe became very prosper us, for he
had possesses the flocks, and possessionof her and a great number of servants.
So the Philistine envied him, andthey were trying to figure out how
is he How's he doing it?So when Isaac obeyed, he grew richer
(40:21):
day by day. And I'm justtelling you, when you obey God,
you not only grow Richard, butyou begin to grow wiser day by day.
He had the possessions of the flocks, he had the possessions under hers,
he had a great number of servants, and the physics they infer him.
In other words, God made adifference between the Philistines and Isaac.
And I want you to know thatGod will make a difference between you and
(40:43):
the world system. If you doit God's way, God will continue to
bless you like never before. Butyou've got to make up in your mind
that you're gonna walk according to thestandards of what God has or dained for
you to walk. I'm telling youit's time to walk it out. Somebody
in time to walk in out.It's time to walk it out, glory
to God and kind of walk itout. Now I'm gonna jump into the
(41:05):
last one. My last scripture isgonna be. Over in Genesis the forty
six chapter of the fourth verse,I got about one minute left, and
this is Jacob. Now we're talkingabout father son, I mean grandsons.
We're talking about the father. You'retalking about the son, and now here
come the grandson. Now you're talkingabout a generation now, And yeah,
I love about you, but I'mnot gonna be the nine because over in
(41:28):
Genesis forty six Shepherd the fourth verse, he says to Jacob, and he
said, I am God, theGod of my father. Fear not to
go down into Egypt. Now hetold his dad not to go. But
then he told Isaach that to moveout. Now he told Isaac, you
know you are to stay in Egypt. And now he's telling Jacob, fear
(41:52):
not to go down into Egypt,for I will make that I will there
make of the a great nation.I don't have time to go through it
tonight, but I want you tounderstand something that he obeyed, and as
a result of his obedience, theyall had fallen short of some things.
But they made some decisions to beginto obey the spirit of God, and
(42:14):
not only just obey the spirit ofGod, but to walk according to the
directives of God. And when theybegin to walk in those directors, they
begin to stand it in faith,not moving to the left, not moving
to the right, not allowing thesituations to break them. And let me
tell you something, each and everyone of them they had a bunch of
(42:35):
circumstances and situation that came against them. But because those circumstance that came against
them, it never stopped them frombelieving in God. That's why faith refuses
to bend under any kind of pressure. Faith refuses to break down Faith,
he refuses to budge. Because onceyou get the promise of God, you
got the promise and you got tostay in faith, which means you stick
to the assignment, You stick tothe calling, You stick to the that
(43:00):
God has given you, and it'syour place of faith and you're not to
ever be moved. Don't allow fearto grip you. Don't allow fear to
get you to the place where youwill begin to in your head think that
this is the thing that you needto do. Remember that God does not
speak to your head. He speaksto your spirit. As to nymy that
is always going to make the suggestionsto your head to create vain imaginations.
(43:23):
Yes, you take the word ofGod and begin to blow it up,
and you begin to think big onthat word of God. You get the
mind of Christ concerned in every situation, every step that you got to take,
every move that you got to make, and not not moving to the
right nor to the left. Butremember what the Word says, in Him
we live, and in Him wemove, and then we have our very
(43:45):
being, our existence. It comestoday because we were obedient. And let
me tell you, when you areobedient, Glory to God. Paydad is
coming. Glory to God. Andlet me tell you when payday come,
you need to understand that he willpay off. And he does pay well.
Glory to God. My time isup. My time is up.
(44:06):
But the fires hot over your gloryto God. Hall Lujah, Halley Lujah,
halln lujah. God will do whathe said he will do. That's
why you gotta keep lifting your eyesuntil they healed. Which cometh your health.
Your health coming from the Lord,he made the heaven and the earth.
He is the key fire. Gloryto God. He will keep you
(44:28):
in all things. Glory to God. And you must remember that the blessing
of the Lord is not just onAbraham, the blessings of the Lord is
is not just on Isaac that it'sjust not on Jacob, but it's on
your life because Christ has redeemed usfrom the purse of the law, and
we now can receive the blessings ofAbraham. You and I, yes,
(44:50):
those who are born again, thosewho's accepted Jesus as Lord. HA saved
your other the like go get yourstop and you know it's some that still
is see the salvation the Lord.But you got to hear the word of
the Lord. You got to hearfrom God to know whether you're supposed to
be moving, stay and still doingwhatever you're supposed to be doing. But
(45:10):
whatever the word of the Lord isthat he gives you, you need to
know that. You gotta stay infaith. You gotta stay in faith.
You got to stick to it.You gotta stick to the calling. You
got to stick to the promise.You got to stick to the assignment.
I said, you gotta stick tothe promise. You got to stick to
the calling. You gotta stick tothe assignment. It is your place of
(45:34):
faith. Don't allow circumstance, don'tallow situations to move you, no matter
what kind of mountains in your way. It can be flatten. No matter
how rough the road is. Itcould be, it could be smoothed out
because we serve the God who isan empowering God. Glory to God.
We serve the God who will causethe crooked to become straight. Glory to
(45:54):
God. We serve the God whowe know that by his might, by
his powered by his spirit, allthings are possible. Boy, this is
good tonight. This is good,and it's gonna be even better on next
weekend because it's gonna get honor andhonor and honor. Because I want to
remind you that you must learn tomeditate. This word grandpat is something he
(46:15):
says that I've been teaching tonight,so that you can stay in faith and
you can maintain you can move intothat supernatural increase that God has for you.
Because God has a blessing with yourname on it. There is an
assignment that you gotta carry out.I can't walk it out for you,
but you gotta walk it out foryourself. But you gotta be strong in
faith as you're walking it out.Bless the name of Jesus, Blessed the
(46:37):
name of God. We prayed Godtonight for such a great outport of his
spirit and his annoying and we praythat as you're lifting tonight that you are
being blessed. Now, guess what, we'll get ready to leave this place.
But on next week, same time, same station, I'll be right
at you with another good word fromthe Lord. And I want you to
know that on this on this LuciusMcDonald's Living Right podcast, we're gonna continue
(46:59):
to just grow you up in theLord. We're gonna continue to speak the
infallible to the word of God sothat you can't be strong enough to stand
your ground. Don't you move ifGod told you to stand still, but
you better get moving. If hetold you to move, I tell you
what I will see it, andI tell you when we get back there,
I'm expecting to see and hear aboutthe miracles of what God is doing
(47:19):
in your life. Be blessed andstay with God. Move with the Lord.
Move with the Lord. This isLucius McDowell bounding off of Lucius McDowell
Living Rise podcast. Be bless It'sfar N't the row stands in the roll
Lucis mc dowar episode Love That Gamein and of the Standing the Ride,
(00:22):
All Bagging of the Standing Rides.Hello, thank God, by what'some?
(00:47):
Mcdiv me by good night Here.I am Lucius McDowell ready to give you
the word of the Lord and thepertains to live in right. You know,
in these days we have living earlesstimes and we need instructions for living
right. I'll tell you one thingthat we cannot just think that we can
jump up every day and just moveand go about our own way without getting
(01:10):
any instructions from God. Every dayis a check in day. I heard
someone say this weekend and say,before you even read the newspaper, you
need to check in with God.I want to go in and say before
you turn on the TV, youneed to check in with God. Before
you do, absolutely do anything,check in with God so that you can
get instructions for living right. BecauseGod knows that he has already orchestrated today.
(01:33):
You know, there's a great scripturethat says, you know, this
is the day that the Lord hasmade. Let us rejoice and be glad
in it will. It's the daythat the Lord has made. Let's rejoice
and be glad, but let usknow what's gonna happen in the day.
I do believe that that you checkin with God, God will begin to
give you instructions concerning live in right, can do what is right, to
represent Him in every area of yourwalk, in your talk. You know,
(01:53):
I want to walk and talk withJesus every day while my life is
in a double Him in every way. I want to just do my very
best to live holy and to liveas close to the Word of God as
I can. Because you never knowwho's watching you. Remember, no matter
where you are, no matter whereyou go, somebody is always watching over
(02:14):
to God. So tonight we're gonnabe talking about the subject matter of maintaining
moving into the supernatural, increase andstand in faith, and we're gonna jump
in some good movement patterns tonight.Let you know that sometimes when you ask
to move, God actually to makemovement, and then sometimes there would be
some times He tell you to standstill and know that He has gotten I
want you to know just because you'restanding still, it doesn't mean that you're
(02:37):
not moving. You're moving and you'reflowing by the power of God. You
gotta understand it that as you beginto slow with God, God will bring
you closer and closer into that supernaturalabundance. So tonight again we jump right
into this because we know. SecondTimothy the third chapter, the sixteenth through
the seventeen verse, I said,every time we have a podcast while because
(02:57):
they come in by hearing and hearhim by the word of God. The
more we proclaim it, the morewe begin to hear it, and not
only hear it, but imagine it, and not only imagine it, just
begin to be it. Our scriptureis given by inspiration of God, and
it's profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instructions in righteousness.
I like that, for it's profitablefor doctrine, profitable for reproof,
(03:20):
for correction, and for instructions inrighteousness, that the Man of God may
be perfect thoroughly furnished until all goodworks. I believe that God wanted to
come to this place what we livelife based on His word. Let me
tell you something about the Word ofGod. Is something about the Word of
God when it heath in her asthe way the Word of God will remain.
(03:44):
So that means that once we getourselves really in growth engulfed in the
word of God, we will beginto be changed from the inside of being
just like him. Now, I'lltell you something, when you don't get
the word in you, you endup being so far away from Him.
People are perishing for the lack ofknowledge. And it's not that the knowledge
is not there, because in thesesixty six books. Let me tell you,
God has some instructions for us concerningliving. Right overse support chapter the
(04:08):
seventh verse, it says, wisdomis the pressible thing. Therefore, get
whistling with all that getting get understanding. You need understanding on what it is,
how it is that you're supposed tobe living glower to God. Well,
I want to jump into foundation ofscriptures because one of the things that
(04:29):
I tapped into over in Deuteronomy Doteronomythe thirtieth chapter. It's a very important
foundation piece as we begin to kindof start laying this thing out in Deuteronomy
the thirtieth chapter, Lower to God, I'm going to get there right,
going to read it from the HolyBible to guy, it's nothing like turning
the pages of the Bible, isnothing like hearing the words slip right before
(04:53):
your very old eyes. Lower toGod. Well, I'm going to start
right quickly. At verse number fifteen, he says, See, I have
set before the day life and goodand death and evil. In that I
command thee this day to love theLord thy God, love the Lord thy
(05:13):
God, to walk in his ways, to walk in his ways, and
to keep his commandments and his statuesand his judgments. That thou mayest live
and multipplied, that thou may livein mostile. One translation say live and
increases. And I like that becausemy message this year hath been moving into
the supernatural increase. But the wayyou get there, you got to stay
(05:35):
in safe glory to God. Buthe goes on and he says, and
the Lord that God shall bless theein the land, whether thou goest to
possess it, whether thou goest topossess it. In other words, He's
gonna bless you where you are enteringinto possess it. And I already believe
that that God has abundance made upfor us. This system that we live
(05:57):
in right now, wee for thewicked, is laid up for the justice.
Because we are the just, youknow, we are the rightetes of
God. We will begin to youknow, own houses that we didn't even
buy, dig you know, onland that we didn't even dig ditches in.
And I mean, this is awonderful, wonderful opportunity for you to
get your faith out there. Butas you get your faith out that,
you've got to begin to understand thatit requires movement, and that movement is
(06:19):
a self motivated action based on anintrinsic goal. It is a desire to
change what is into that what couldbe, that what it could be.
And as we move into or intoit is how it depicts a direction that
you go into. We're going tobe moving into an intrinsic goal, into
the supernatural increase of God that isoperating above and beyond this world system.
(06:46):
That means that God's super oninatural toget things done, his glory be manifested
in our lives. How would youfeel every time when you got a word
from the Lord? You can seethe glory of the Lord or being man
of this right before your very ownNow, the word increase here, it
needs to become progressively greater in sizeand amount, in number and intensity.
(07:11):
And I want you to understand thatthis thing is very real because God is
blessing folk left in right, he'sblessing those individuals who are in faith than
in faith and making sure that they'rea making movement. And the Lord told
us this year is he want usto move in move in faith. He
want us to move up high,to begin to think just like him and
begin to imagine, to have abig imagination just like it is. And
(07:31):
not only that, he want usto move out once we have obtained this,
and we got to move out withconfidence in knowing that He gave it
to us. Because He gave itto us, nobody can take it away
from us. You know, Ilove it when that's old song, this
joy that I have. The worlddidn't give it to me. The world
didn't give it in the world can'ttake it away nobody, but Jesus gave
it to me. In because ofthe finished work on the Cross, I
(07:54):
now can begin to just be choicein knowing that authority that has been in
that's did in me. Because I'vegot that authority invested to me. You
know, I have to go backand just shout the victory because now it's
my responsibility to operate in faith basedon the very thing that God has given
me. Well of. In Hebrewsa tip chapter started with the thirty eighth.
(08:16):
First it says not that Jeff shalllive by faith, but if any
man draw back by if any mandraw bactice to the king James version of
reading, my soul shall have nopleasure in him. In other words,
God will send it if you drawback, if you get to the place
that's going to cause me to notreally be happy with you. And it
(08:37):
goes on and says, but weare not of them who draw back onto
tradition, And that word tradition isalmost like the smell of a stinch old
animal, something not really good.But them that believe into the saving of
the soul. So we will walkon. We will walk by faith,
and we'll keep doing what we're supposedto do. Let me give you that
word. The Greek word for forf is for faith and always describes the
(09:01):
force that is moving forward, theforce that's always moving forward. I love
this, praise the Lord. Sowe jump right in the Hebrews of eleven
and one is just now. Faithis the substance of things forth, the
evidence of things not seen, theevidence of things not seen. So this
means that you know, I standon the word, moving forward and leaving
(09:24):
God that for everything that he haspromised me, it shall and the will
come to pass. I want toknow tonight that faith refuses to be and
undepression, It refuses to break,it refuses to bulge from the promise of
God. If God has promised ussomething, I want you to understand that
He will make it good. Hewill not lie because he cannot lie.
(09:48):
And we got to begin to beginto really really really jump jump. Jumping
is to make sure that we areunderstanding that you know, even as God
has promised of something, it shalland it will japans. You know,
the Word of the Lord teaches thatall of the promises of God are yes
and amen. So that means thatyou've got a responsibility, and that responsibility
(10:09):
is to make sure that you theyfirmly planted on the word of God.
You got to make sure that youare not doing anything that will go against
the will of God. And ifGod said it, then so be it.
Over the Book of Numbers, Chaptertwenty three, verse number nineteen,
he says God is not a manthat he should lie, not that the
son of man that he should repent. Has he said it had has he
(10:33):
repented it has he said? Andshall he not do it? Or has
he spoken? And shall he notmake it good? Every time God gives
you a word, he will alwaysmake good on that word, will always
prove that work. Because He isGod and there is none like him.
I say, he is God andthere is none like him. Our job
(10:56):
is going to be found right overin number one. Love this one because
this is something that we got tocome to the place of we cannot.
We got to learn how to makemovement when he tells us to make movement,
But we got to learn to standwhen he tells us to stand,
you know. Over so number oneit says, blessed is the man that
walk is in That walk is notin the council of the ungodly, nor
(11:22):
standing in the way of sinners,nor sitting in the seat of the scoring.
For notice, there are a coupleof things here. He says,
who walk is not in the councilof the ungodlys, which means that if
you are a man or woman agun, watch your company and that you're
keeping because if you're keeping company whereit's ungodly people, they're gonna try to
introduce you to some ungodly things.Before you know it, you begin to
(11:45):
slip in those things that you havebeen rooted and grounded in in a long
time. And let me tell yousomething, it don't matter how long you've
been in it. Being around thebad company could cause you to get off
in a place that's not good.But the Scripture says, blessed if the
man that walketh not in the council, that walking could not in the council
of the ungodly, nor standing inthe way of sinners, nor sitting in
(12:11):
the seat of the scorn. Forthose are always complaining folk, always got
a negative something wants you to benegative on because they are negatives. Get
away from the people. Run fromthem, Run, run, run,
run run. So stands the numbertwo saisens. But his delight, this
is the blessed man. His delightis in the law, oh the Lord.
He says, light is in theWord of God, because that's how
(12:31):
we live, that's how we rollit. In the law. Does he
meditate, He imagines knights and day, glory of gods, the Word of
God, and the Word says insinstead of the three sisters. And he
shall be like a tree planet bythe rivers of waters. Now I'm from
South Georgia. Let me tell yousomething. There is a river that runs
(12:54):
through my city and I grew upin called Albady, Georgia, and it's
the Flint River. If you goby the Flint River, you will see
tall trees. And I'm telling yousome trees that are big tall. There
are some just oak trees so hugethat it's all because I guess them being
by the water. They are there. They got a lot of nutrients just
running to the roots. And letme tell you something, no matter when
(13:16):
the wind blow, no matter howhard it blows, it never takes these
trees down. These trees continue tostand, stand, stand. And I
really believe the God is saying hewant us to come to that place where
we develop in our saints, thatwe can stay in safe regardless of the
wind of life. As to blow. Let the wind blow, let it
(13:37):
blow, let it blow, letit blow. But just because it's blowing,
it will move me off of thepromises of God. It will not
move me off of the things ofGod. And that's why when I get
a word from God, I canbe firm knowing that if God spoke it,
I'll be just like the tree housestree, the trees planted by the
rivers of water, and that bringingforth his fruit in his season, his
(14:01):
leaf shall also not with him,and whatsoever he does, it shall prosper.
I want you to understand that it'sour responsibility that we're supposed to be
bringing fruit in season, bringing fruitin good season now over Hebrews eleven chapters
and six versus says, but withoutfaith, it's impossible to please him.
(14:22):
For he that comeing to God andmust believe that He is, and that
He's a reward of them that diligentlyseeking. You know, last week we
went on and on and on inchapter eleven, and we began to just
talk about all those great men andwomen of faith, and even how they
got that word of God. Andeven when they got the word of God,
they were not moved. They werefirmly fixed, keeping their eyes on
Him, making sure that you know, it didn't matter what was going on.
(14:45):
As for as life circumstances, becauselet me tell you something, as
long as you live, you're gonnaalways have life circumstances. But you've got
to come to the place of understandingthat when you've got something in front of
you that opposes the word of God. That is our opportunity for you to
stand on the word of God andnot compromise. It's the time for you
to stand on the word of Godand open up your mouth and confess it
(15:07):
and say what God has already said. Let him know that you believe that
he is God and you that's whathe says. You know, he says
that it without faith, it's impossibleto please him. For he that comes
to God that got to believe thathe is God. And not not only
he is God, but he isa reward of them that didn't leitly seek
(15:28):
him. So that means if I'mgoing to stand faith, it means I'm
gonna stick with my assignment. I'mgonna stick with my calling other promise that
He gave me, and it's gonnabe my place of faith that I will
not be moved no matter what,because I do know that God will and
he shall answer my call. Hewill answer my christ. You know,
the scripture says when the righteous criesthe Lord hear them, may delivered them
(15:48):
out of all of their afflictions.And I want you to know something that
God is there standing by. He'sstanding by, He's standing by he hears
you in your cry, so thatmeans that you got to over up your
mouth and say something Lord, happening. You know, I don't have no
shame in my game at all,because there are moments when I get a
little down and I have to goback and build myself up in faith.
(16:11):
I have to stir the gift ofGod up on the inside of it.
I have to be on God.I'm not to put it, but I
need you right down to comfort methrough this texts try that I'm going through
because I will get through it,and I'm going to get through it by
faith. I'm holding on and Iwon't let go. I said, I'm
holding on and I won't let gono matter what, I Am going to
get the breakthrough at the very endthat I prayed God. Because again,
(16:34):
faith, it never bends, itnever bulged, it never breaks. It
stands on the promise of God.While because faith is a victory that overcomes
the world, and faith coming whatit comes by hearing and hearing by the
word of God. That's the reasonwhy it's important for you to hear these
type of podcasts, because this isnot a podcast when I'm just speaking and
(16:56):
talking from my head. I amspeed by the words of the Living God
as he's given it to me.I'm giving it to you because you need
this word this out with. Don'tyou turn off this podcast. Don't you
go to the next room. Yousit right down and you listen, and
you get feel up, Feel meup, Lord, feel me up,
(17:18):
and then it overflow tonight. That'swhat I want to just minister out of
my over So not what I'm studying, but I want to minister out of
the overflow because I want you tounderstand that you got to learn to listen,
and you've got to learn to payattention. You got to learn to
keep your eyes on God. Amen. You know one of the things that
(17:38):
things that we've got to make surethat we med as we stay in say
that we keep ourself away from distractedmoments, and that we begin to make
sure that we can move forward knowingthat we have made all our meditations real
in our life, and our meditationsare so real in our life that everybody
(18:00):
can see you moving forward. It'sso wonderful. You can say people like,
man, you are doing and doingwhat what you're talking about. Man,
I see God movies in your life. You're seeing God moving just in
my life. God wants to moveforward in your life just as well.
For in order for God to moveforward in your life, that means out
got to be willing and ob Youknow, I got to stay in safe
(18:22):
and cannot allow peer to get grippedme because if your gripped me, I
end of aborting everything that God hasalready promised. And guess what, too
much too much in store, toomuch, too much that God has given
unto me. Glory to God.But I want to talk about a couple
of characters tonight because I believe thatthis is going to bless you. Because
(18:45):
you know, you've got to beable to have a relationship for yourself.
You can't go on the relationship withyour grandfather, your you know your father.
You got to be able to knowGod for yourself. And let me
tell you something, you really wantto eat the good of the land.
You got to really be obedient.You're gonna walk in obedient, and not
only just walking. You have awilling heart, a willing heart to be
(19:07):
and do the things that God istelling you to do. While in I
in ministry. For me, I'vebeen passionate for now almost twenty five years,
and I pray of our people andthat they will have the heart of
servants to do the things that Godhas call to do. But I can't
make them do what they don't wantto do. And one of the things
I used to always say, God, I just wish they can. And
the Lord said, you gotta prayand release them by faith. And I've
(19:30):
learned as I pray to release themby faith, I have recognized that my
days are even better because it's nodisappointment though. I just know that I'm
going to be patient and win onthem that one day that they're gonna have
the heart to submit and do thethings that they're supposed to be doing.
Now let's look at Abraham, becauseAbraham is a very classic example over in
(19:53):
Genesis, the twelfth chapter, Versenumber I want to start. Reverse number
one is if now the Lord hadsaid onto Abraham, get thee out of
thy country and from thy kindred andfrom thy father's house onto a man that
I will show thee. Okay,I'm just gonna park it right there.
(20:15):
He gives instructions and he tells himwhat he needs to do. Now,
Abraham has a responsibility, and thatis either Abraham will listen to the instruction
of the Almighty God by making amovement, or Abraham will end up doing
the opposite. Now, what dowe say? Moving is defined as a
(20:37):
self motivated action based on an intrinsicgold. Now, what God told him
was, he said, I wantyou to get up or get get thee
out of thy country, from bykindred and from by father's house onto a
land that I will show thee.Wow. Can you imagine that what God
was saying was you know, Ican imagine what abraham thoughts were, like,
(21:02):
Okay, I can get in here, that I can get out of
here, But where am I going? Just keep walking? Can you trust
God to order your footsteps? Canyou trust God that if he told you
this is the route that he wantsyou to take, that you can walk
it out without looking to your rightnor to your life, regardless of what
people are saying, regardless of thedistraction that will come your way, regardless
(21:23):
of what the enemy will try tothrow at you. I'm telling you I
believe that when you get the instructionsof God and when you stand on the
word of God, I do believethat God will honor everything that he said.
He will do. Now, let'sgo back and look at what he
said he'll do. In verse two, he says, and I will make
THEE a great nation, and Iwill bless thee and make by name break,
(21:48):
and thou shall be a blessing.I like this. He's gonna make
him a great nation. He's gonnabless him, he's gonna make his name
great. And he says that he'sgoing to be a blessing. So that
means that he gonna have so muchwealth and riches and so much knowledge and
and just everythings gonna be poured onhim, that he's gonna be able to
be a blessing to other people.What am I saying here? God is
(22:10):
not gonna just beam him up andmake it be all big by himself and
not be able to be a blessingto those that are around him. And
he goes on the verse number between, he says, and I will bless
them that blessed the In other words, he said, that's gonna be favored
poured out in your line. Andhe said, then I'm gonna curse them
that cursing, and that's gonna beprotection. So that means that anybody trying
to come against you. You gotto understand that the battle is not yours.
(22:33):
Don't make no moment to fight theLord. The God stands still and
see the salvation of the Lord.We have too many examples in the Word
of God where those individuals that stoodstill to see the salvation of the Lord,
they saw the deliverance. They sawdeliverance. He goes on, he
says, and then the shall allfamilies of the earth be blessed, All
(22:56):
families of the earth be blessed.So what do you think happened? Abraham
had a choice whether I go orwhether I stay. So in verse number
ten, we can see that therewas a great famine in the land,
and Abraham went down into Egypt tosojourn there. For the famine was grievous
(23:17):
in the land, and it cameto past when he was come near to
the to entry into Egypt, thathe steads unto his to Sarah, his
wife. Behold, now I knowthat thou art a fair woman to look
upon. Therefore it shall come topass when the Egyptians shall see thee that
they shall say, this is hiswife, and they will kill me,
(23:37):
but they will save thee In otherwords, there again Abraham began not to
trust God and just instead of justyou know, he's again to conjureupt some
things. So verse number thirteen issay, I pray THEE thou wert my
sister in that it may be wellwith me for thy sake, and my
soul shall live because of THEE.In other words, they prosa that I
(23:59):
want to leave you, beautiful,this is gonna be your escape, bolder,
and let me live. I'm gonnalive. But looking versus them of
fourteen, and it says, andit came to pass that when Abraham was
coming to Egypt, the Egyptians beheldthat the woman that she was very fair,
that were very family, she wasvery beautiful, She had it going
on. She looked well from thetop of her head all the way to
the folds of her feet. Andthen verse fifteen said the princess also of
(24:22):
Pharaoh, saw her and commended herbefore a pharaoh. And the woman was
taken into Pharaoh's house, and heentreated Abraham well for her sake, and
he had she and oxen, andhe asks, and men's servants and maidservance,
and she asks and camels. Now, I just want to break it
(24:45):
right here because as a result ofhim taking Sarah, Pharaoh ended up giving
Abraham Abram. I'm sorry an increasedbecause Abram did not have those things.
But I want you to understand thatall of a sudden, Pharaoh's house became
troubled and he realized that something wasterribly wrong. And what was terribly wrong
(25:08):
was he was very interested in Sarah. But Sarah was already married to Abraham
because God had already covenant with Abraham. Guess what that wasn't going to happen.
So all of a sudden, Abrahamis approached by pharaohbody said, why
didn't you tell me? You knowthat you were married and so, but
he gave Sarah bac and still Abrahamleft with all of that increase. Now,
(25:33):
if Abraham had never moved when Godtold him to move, now he
didn't have to lie, but hedid. But he did not have to
lie, but he did. However, you know, when he got moving,
he ended up increasing supernaturally because thesewere things that he did not have
for himself. But as he beganto move, there were lessons that were
(25:56):
learned as a result of the movement. I want to jump over to Romans.
The fourth chapter, verse number eighteen. Now, I want you to
understand that there was a lot ofthings that did take place in that in
the book of Genesis, from thefrom the process of even when he told
him that, you know, hewas going to give him a seed and
he's going to you know, beable to produce ethte's own time, and
(26:18):
Abraham realized that, you know,he was of age and all that good
stuff. But even in that,you know, God was still giving him
a word, and he gave themthat word, and that word he had
to believe it. That word,he had to receive it. That word
he had to act on it.That word he had to move into it.
Look at verse number eighteen Romans,chapter four, Who against all,
(26:41):
who against hope, believed in hopethat he might become the father of many
nations, according to that which wasspoken down in the beginning, to believe
that. But he made mistakes,and he made mistakes. And I want
to let you know something that youvery well may make mistakes on the way,
but don't stay in a place ofmiss Always repent and get up,
(27:03):
get moving so that you can getto the place where God would have you.
So here we go. He's gottenstrongly he's gotten better now because God
promised him a son. And youremember what happened with the first one.
He along with Sarah of a producing. It'smail based on the fact that Sarah
knew that she was old of ageand was not able to produce, so
(27:25):
she had her handmade servants to laywith a for him. Now Here is
verse number eighteen and says, whogets hope believed in hope that he might
become the father of many nations,according to that which was spoken, those
shall by seed be. And beingnot weak in faith, he considered not
his own body now dead when hewas about one hundred years old, neither
(27:49):
yet the deadness of sarah womb.Now he was one hundred years old,
and his body was dead. Everythingwas pretty much so just gone. Only
that there's wound. Scripture says,neither yet the deadest of Sarah's wound.
Her wound was dead. He says, well, now, Verse twenty said
he staggered not at the promise ofGod through unbelief, but was strong and
(28:15):
faith So why he staggered not?He stayed with it. He continued to
receive the word of the Lord.He continued to just move forward and knowing
that if God said it, thenit is so. So he staggered now
that the promise of God through throughunbelief, but was strong in faith,
giving glory to God. Now thescripture said in verse twenty one that he
(28:37):
was fully persuaded that what he hadpromised he was able also to perform it.
Not to want to park there fora minute. Now you settled in
your mind? Have you settled inyour heart that what God has promised he
is able to perform it? Orare you just going back and forth.
Maybe he will and maybe he won't. Maybe he will, and maybe he
won't. Maybe he will, maybehe will, he will, he will,
he will, he will, hewill, he won't, he won't,
(29:00):
he won't. It's called being doubleminded people. And let me tell
you something, that double minded bandis unstable in all this ways. That
man can never ever get anything fromGod because he's just like the ways out
on the ocean. You go inand come out, and go in and
come out. But you've got tocome to the place of when God gives
you a word, you must becomesingle minded concerning the very thing that he
(29:22):
said. And God says he's gonnaheal you don't care what kind of sickness
there is upon you. I waslistening to a broadcast today and they was
just having prayer and this prayer meeting. There were people calling in, they
were writing in, and they weregiving requests concerning what they needed in their
bodies, what they're needed in theirbodies, what they needed in their life.
(29:45):
And there were people that were reallystanding on the word of God as
it pertains the healing. There werea couple of people that had prostrate cancer,
that were a couple of people thathad all type of manner of diseases.
But what was so invigorating by faithwas the our leader will take their
requests and begin to speak the Wordof God and remind the people of God
(30:07):
what the Word said. And Ithink every now and then, not every
now, we need to do itall the time. We need to remind
ourselves what the Word of God issaying so that we are able to stay
our grounds, that we can stayin faith regardless of how bad it is,
because as we remain in faith,it's something about having the posture of
(30:29):
standing on the Word of God wheneverything else is feeling, when everything else
is going, when it doesn't makeany sense. God has a way of
coming in and turning midnights intoday Gloryto God. Scripture says that we've been
may endure for a night, butjoy come in glory to God in the
morning. Somebody's got a morning.And I ain't talking about seven hours from
(30:53):
now. I'm talking about in thenext minute, glory to God. I
speak and prophesied into your life nowthat God is turning your darkness into daylight.
And I really need that the justas the morning sun spring for that
healing in your body will spring forglory to God. And not only just
(31:14):
the healing. God wants to proSPfor you just as well. Now I'm
gonna get here because I want toget too for it, because my time
will be gone. But anyway,it says in verse one and being for
the persuadive, that what he hadpromised he was able to perform. Therefore
it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not now it was
(31:34):
not written for his sake a moanthat it was imputed to him. So
now that means that. But yes, Lord, look at verse WHATY for
it? But for us also Ijust want you to underline that, but
for us also now I get anopportunity to get faith based on what has
(31:56):
already been given to Abraham. Sothe scripture says, but for us also
it just jumps outed. It's justto whom it shall be imputed if we
believe on him that raised of Jesusall the way from the dead. Not
come on, Now, who intheir right mind don't believe that? I
shouldn't say that I was I.If I this, every born again believer
(32:17):
should have the mindset that we arewho we are based on the finished work
of Jesus Christ. Jesus died oncavalry, he went to the cross,
he was buried, and then hewas raised from the dead. And because
he was risen, we are risen. We have the same power because of
(32:38):
the finished work of the Cross.Now, because of that, I want
to jump over the Galatians the thirdchapter, the thirteen verse, because I
want you to understand something. Thisis for us what Abraham did back in
the day. Now we can walkin it because the blessings of Abraham.
It's not just for Abraham, andit's just not for the others, but
(32:59):
it is for us us just aswill relations to third chapter, the thirteen
versus is Christ has redeemed us fromthe curse of the law being made a
curse for us. For it iswritten, curse is everyone that hanging on
a tree, that the blessing ofAbraham might come on in Gentiles through Jesus
(33:20):
Christ, that we might receive thepromise of the Spirit ne faith. You
have received the promise of the Spiritthrough faith. Now the blessing is on
your life. Now, let's reallyshout about it now. Because the Bible
says in Proversit ten chapter the twentysecond verse that the blessings of the Lord
it makes us rich. And headded and it added no sorrow with it.
(33:43):
So for a more accurate definition ofthe Lord's messing, it is an
endowment of power resulting in prosperity andsuccess. It is a sign of special
favor. To endow it means tobestowed, to close to crown, and
to lavish upon. For the Lord'sblessing is the nature of its power glory
(34:04):
to God. It's his ability andannoying to bring about prosperity, success in
favor in every area of our lives. Now, in the clear terms of
blessing, is God's empowerment to prosperus. Oh, glory to God.
Think of God blessing this way.It's his ability on your ability. It
(34:25):
gives you the ability to do whatyou could not do before. This is
the supernatural side of the people.Since be put, it is his super
on your natural giving you supernatural abilityto do absolutely anything. I like that
because circumstances, situation can only changefor the better when the blessing shows up.
(34:45):
So therefore, if you've got somethinggoing on in your life, you
need to understand that. You knowyou have the blessing of the Lord on
you, and the blessing of theLord it maketh you rich. Oh,
come on, y'all, no sorrow. That means that you can run through
a wall, go over because youcan leap over a walk. You can
(35:05):
go through anything that is opposing youbecause God is blessing you. Because he's
blessed you, He's caused you tobegin to move in a way like never
before. You can be moving bystaying in the same place. And Jeff,
because you are standing still, itdoes not mean that you are not
moving, because sometimes God will tellyou to just stand still and see the
(35:28):
salvation of the Lord. Hallolujen,and let me give you a good exath
of that. Go to Genesis betweentysix chapters to with verse number one.
Now remember that was the days ofAbraham. But then his son Isaac in
verse one. Soon there was afeminine the land decide, the first femine.
That was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went onto Abila,
(35:50):
king of the Philipstines, unto Jeruff, and the Lord appeared under him and
said, go not down into Egypt. Wait a minute, he told he
told one to go into Egypt.It now he's telling another. Just because
I told you, Dad, andthey do it, don't mean that you're
gonna do it. I'm telling younot to do it, he says,
dwelling the land, which I shalltell thee of Notice God was holding these
(36:12):
these guys accountable by saying, don'tyou take another step until I tell you
what to do. I'm gonna showyou, because the steps of the righteous
men, they are ordered of theLord. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah. So he goes under hesays, sojourn dwelling this man, and
I will be with THEE, andI will bless THEE. For unto thee
(36:32):
and unto thy seed, I willgive all these countries, and I will
perform the oath which I swear untoAbraham by Father. And I will make
thy seed to multiply. That's thestars of heaven. And I will give
unto thy seed all these countries.And in thy seed shall all the nations
(36:55):
of the earth be blessed. Lookverse number five, because that Abraham obeyed
my voice and kept my charge,my commandments, my statues, and my
law, my law, my law, my law, oh my God.
Each of represented looking for another source. And God wanted to be Isaac's source.
And so God told him, don'tgo down in the Egypt. Don't
(37:19):
lean on the arms of your flesh. I am your sauce. And then
God went on and said in versenumber three, he says, so journe,
dwell in this land, and Iwill be with the and I will
bless he for onto d and ontothe seat. I will give all these
countries, and I will perform theoath which I swear unto Abraham by Father.
So God was saying to Isaac,if you obey my voice and stay
(37:42):
right here in this land that Itell you to, saying, I'm gonna
bless you, and I'm gonna bewith you today. God is not only
with us, but he's inside ofus. Because of Him in us,
our nature is of that of obedienceand the blessing. But the long to
of now he learned about the blessingsover the years. That blessed means to
(38:04):
empower, to prosper, empowered toincrease it. That's what we're talking about
this whole year. Empowered to multiply, empowered to excel, empowered to rise
above what holds everything else back.Notice, God says I will bless you.
I will empower you to increase evenin a famdom. Oh oh,
(38:27):
so that means what matters? Whatdoes it matter to God about? You?
Know? Wall Street? What doesit matter to God about You've been
given a pink slip that's just aman made documentary to get you over to
a place to get you to wonder. Will God? Will God get you
through? God is going to getyou through because he said that he would
bless you, and he would dothe very things that he said he would
(38:50):
do. Look at first number twelve, It says then Isaac showed in the
land and received in the same yearand hundredsfold and the Lord bless him,
and the man waxed great and wentforward and grew until he became not only
great, but the scripture says verygreat, for he had possessions of flock,
(39:12):
and possessions of herd, and greatstore of servants, and the philistines
envy. And now noticed, now, remember what happened to the daddy.
What's now happened to the daddy isnow happening to the sun. And it's
happening to the son and the dadbecause they are over into a place of
faith. Now, let me tellyou something. We got to get into
this place of Now, this isnot yet for Abraham, is not yet
(39:35):
for for ISAs, but it isfor you and I just as well,
because we can see that the blessingsof the Lord maketh it rich, and
it as no sorrow. I said, it as no sorry. You know
over in uh in the New KingNew King James version, the New King
James version versus, it says,then I showed then that man, and
(39:58):
in the same year one hundred pold, and the Lord bless said the man
began to prosper and continue frosting untilhe became very prosper us, for he
had possesses the flocks, and possessionof her and a great number of servants.
So the Philistine envied him, andthey were trying to figure out how
is he How's he doing it?So when Isaac obeyed, he grew richer
(40:21):
day by day. And I'm justtelling you, when you obey God,
you not only grow Richard, butyou begin to grow wiser day by day.
He had the possessions of the flocks, he had the possessions under hers,
he had a great number of servants, and the physics they infer him.
In other words, God made adifference between the Philistines and Isaac.
And I want you to know thatGod will make a difference between you and
(40:43):
the world system. If you doit God's way, God will continue to
bless you like never before. Butyou've got to make up in your mind
that you're gonna walk according to thestandards of what God has or dained for
you to walk. I'm telling youit's time to walk it out. Somebody
in time to walk in out.It's time to walk it out, glory
to God and kind of walk itout. Now I'm gonna jump into the
(41:05):
last one. My last scripture isgonna be. Over in Genesis the forty
six chapter of the fourth verse,I got about one minute left, and
this is Jacob. Now we're talkingabout father son, I mean grandsons.
We're talking about the father. You'retalking about the son, and now here
come the grandson. Now you're talkingabout a generation now, And yeah,
I love about you, but I'mnot gonna be the nine because over in
(41:28):
Genesis forty six Shepherd the fourth verse, he says to Jacob, and he
said, I am God, theGod of my father. Fear not to
go down into Egypt. Now hetold his dad not to go. But
then he told Isaach that to moveout. Now he told Isaac, you
know you are to stay in Egypt. And now he's telling Jacob, fear
(41:52):
not to go down into Egypt,for I will make that I will there
make of the a great nation.I don't have time to go through it
tonight, but I want you tounderstand something that he obeyed, and as
a result of his obedience, theyall had fallen short of some things.
But they made some decisions to beginto obey the spirit of God, and
(42:14):
not only just obey the spirit ofGod, but to walk according to the
directives of God. And when theybegin to walk in those directors, they
begin to stand it in faith,not moving to the left, not moving
to the right, not allowing thesituations to break them. And let me
tell you something, each and everyone of them they had a bunch of
(42:35):
circumstances and situation that came against them. But because those circumstance that came against
them, it never stopped them frombelieving in God. That's why faith refuses
to bend under any kind of pressure. Faith refuses to break down Faith,
he refuses to budge. Because onceyou get the promise of God, you
got the promise and you got tostay in faith, which means you stick
to the assignment, You stick tothe calling, You stick to the that
(43:00):
God has given you, and it'syour place of faith and you're not to
ever be moved. Don't allow fearto grip you. Don't allow fear to
get you to the place where youwill begin to in your head think that
this is the thing that you needto do. Remember that God does not
speak to your head. He speaksto your spirit. As to nymy that
is always going to make the suggestionsto your head to create vain imaginations.
(43:23):
Yes, you take the word ofGod and begin to blow it up,
and you begin to think big onthat word of God. You get the
mind of Christ concerned in every situation, every step that you got to take,
every move that you got to make, and not not moving to the
right nor to the left. Butremember what the Word says, in Him
we live, and in Him wemove, and then we have our very
(43:45):
being, our existence. It comestoday because we were obedient. And let
me tell you, when you areobedient, Glory to God. Paydad is
coming. Glory to God. Andlet me tell you when payday come,
you need to understand that he willpay off. And he does pay well.
Glory to God. My time isup. My time is up.
(44:06):
But the fires hot over your gloryto God. Hall Lujah, Halley Lujah,
halln lujah. God will do whathe said he will do. That's
why you gotta keep lifting your eyesuntil they healed. Which cometh your health.
Your health coming from the Lord,he made the heaven and the earth.
He is the key fire. Gloryto God. He will keep you
(44:28):
in all things. Glory to God. And you must remember that the blessing
of the Lord is not just onAbraham, the blessings of the Lord is
is not just on Isaac that it'sjust not on Jacob, but it's on
your life because Christ has redeemed usfrom the purse of the law, and
we now can receive the blessings ofAbraham. You and I, yes,
(44:50):
those who are born again, thosewho's accepted Jesus as Lord. HA saved
your other the like go get yourstop and you know it's some that still
is see the salvation the Lord.But you got to hear the word of
the Lord. You got to hearfrom God to know whether you're supposed to
be moving, stay and still doingwhatever you're supposed to be doing. But
(45:10):
whatever the word of the Lord isthat he gives you, you need to
know that. You gotta stay infaith. You gotta stay in faith.
You got to stick to it.You gotta stick to the calling. You
got to stick to the promise.You got to stick to the assignment.
I said, you gotta stick tothe promise. You got to stick to
the calling. You gotta stick tothe assignment. It is your place of
(45:34):
faith. Don't allow circumstance, don'tallow situations to move you, no matter
what kind of mountains in your way. It can be flatten. No matter
how rough the road is. Itcould be, it could be smoothed out
because we serve the God who isan empowering God. Glory to God.
We serve the God who will causethe crooked to become straight. Glory to
(45:54):
God. We serve the God whowe know that by his might, by
his powered by his spirit, allthings are possible. Boy, this is
good tonight. This is good,and it's gonna be even better on next
weekend because it's gonna get honor andhonor and honor. Because I want to
remind you that you must learn tomeditate. This word grandpat is something he
(46:15):
says that I've been teaching tonight,so that you can stay in faith and
you can maintain you can move intothat supernatural increase that God has for you.
Because God has a blessing with yourname on it. There is an
assignment that you gotta carry out.I can't walk it out for you,
but you gotta walk it out foryourself. But you gotta be strong in
faith as you're walking it out.Bless the name of Jesus, Blessed the
(46:37):
name of God. We prayed Godtonight for such a great outport of his
spirit and his annoying and we praythat as you're lifting tonight that you are
