(01:27):
You know, for some reason, people want to us to
pay rent for this stuff that, and we have to
buy some equipment every once in a while. You know,
the gospel is absolutely free, but ministry isn't. So we
appreciate any help that we get as we as we
go along. Well, I got a good looking fellow sitting
(01:47):
over here next to me this way on my screen anyway,
and Jay, Darren Samuel, he is from way up in Utah.
I'll tell you what. It's just exciting to have him

all kinds of good things and he's a holy ghost man.
(02:09):
So you're gonna enjoy the show tonight, and so we're
gonna we're gonna get it going. Jay, welcome to the show.
We're glad you're here with appreciate you chiming in with
us tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Well, hey, thank you, Fred. It's an honor to be
on the show. And you know, Jay is my first
legal name, but I really sort of go by my
middle name, Darren, so feel free to call me Darren.
And uh man, it's just a blessing to be able
to talk about the Word of God and to you know,
talk about the power of God, because we're in a
time where, man, we need some power in this Christian
(02:43):
walk and the Holy Ghost is that source. And so
I'm excited to be here.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Man, that's great.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Well, I'll tell you what, You've had some an exciting
couple of weeks just just recently, and that somebody just
just you know, every once in a while we bump
into somebody, but you did it.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Literally, this.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Tell us The truth is that, Yeah, I am ministering
up in Ogden, Utah, and that's where I'm stationed right now.
I just took a little trip down to Denver. That's
where I'm from. I'm a native of Denver, Colorado, and man,
I'm blessed that all my family still lives there. And
so I was just coming home just for one week
to visit some family, and I was heading to an
(03:27):
appointment here locally in Denver, and you know, I did
get in an accident, car accident, and the other gentleman
ran a red light and I ran right into him,
and so my car get totaled. But man, I tell you, Fred,
it was such a blessing because in the process, you know,
you don't really know exactly what's happening, but when you
(03:50):
are committed to the Word of God, and you are
committed to speaking in tongues and using your prayer language
the words, the Holy Ghost just speaks through you. And
so at the end of it, as I was looking back,
in fact, there's a video that I produced that sort
of shares the testimonies in more depth. But I was
able to minister to both police on the scene. I
(04:10):
was able to pray for them. I was able to
pray for the eyewitness, a lady that gave an account
of what happened. I was able to pray for the
to tuck driver. I was able to pray for the
gentleman who owned the business that we got towed up
to to get it off of the traffic scene. And
so I mean there was like five different Oh and
then I called the insurance company that night, and this
(04:32):
lady was born again Christian, but she just was in
a tough spot and slapter. We took an hour and
I did all the claim man. I exhorted and encouraged
this lady and prayed for her for twenty thirty minutes.
And so I think there was five, maybe six people
that I was able to be a blessing to and
to pray for in the middle of this unfortunate situation.
But you know, we can't let these things steal our joy.
(04:54):
You know, the enemy's trying to steal, kill and still steal,
kill and destroy. Excuse me, but in the midst of
even some of the worst things that happen in our lives,
we can be a light in the darkness, and we
can be a voice for the for the Lord in
the Holy Spirit speak right to us and tell us
(05:14):
what to say.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, amen to that, I guarantee it, and I love
that you. You were just plundering hell in the midst
of all your troubles, you know, and so many people,
uh that they get all the worry and everything. You know,
we're supposed to cast those worries aside and put a
faith in Him and start, uh start proclaiming the gospel.
(05:36):
And yeah, I think that's awesome. Well, you know you
have I want you to give your information out right
right now because people might want to go and look
at that that little video that you did, because men,
I mean, I can't believe you're okay, uh even but
that that car was fairly fairly well tore up.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
So I got to give glory to God. I tell
you if and protection was all over me. Now I was,
you know, I mean, I do this in the car.
I don't like mistling in the music necessarily. I like
listening to the Word of God, and I have a
Bible app that I listened to. I was praying in
the Holy Ghost at the time. I had my seatbelt on.
The air bag went off, but the hand of the
(06:20):
Lord was on me and protected me. And so you know, basically,
I have a couple of media outlets that I use
just to give testimonies out because I'm somewhat of an
engagement specialist. The Lord's gifted me with the ability to
just be able to talk to anybody nearly anywhere at
any time once he promised me to do so, and
so I'm very bold, and He's gifted me with that
(06:43):
encouragement that I can give to other people in almost
any situation. And so I share a lot of these
testimonies on some different outlets. One of them is YouTube,
and my page is the letter or excuse me, the yeah,
the the number seven and then the word minute, and
then the second word is share. So it's called seven
minute Share. Now, if you go to Facebook, you can
(07:05):
also find the same page of mine under seven minute Share.
And then I also have my ministry page which is
Christ's and that's christ Apostrophe s Christ's Kingdom Initiative. And
then that's my ministry Facebook page. And then I have
my personal Facebook page which is my full name that
(07:27):
you can see on the screen. That's Jay Darren Samuel.
So any of these platforms if you go to, not
only will you see updates of what God is doing
in and through me just in random meetings as I
go and evangelism outreaches, but also there is a testimony
of all the people I was able to encourage and
bless and pray for immediately after that accident. So, Man,
(07:51):
glory be to Jesus.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That's cool, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I want you to just pray over folks right now.
And I just want you to really kind of open
up the airways for Jesus to just.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Come in and take over. And then I want you
to kind of start telling you shorty.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Well, thank you Fred and Father. We just thank you,
We thank you for the opportunity just to be your
surrendered vessels Lord. And I just know in these last
times that uh, you know, we need your protection and Lord,
so I just asked that you would put a hedge
of protection around every single born again believer on this planet.
Right now, Lord, we know you're no respectors of persons,
(08:37):
and so what you can do for one, you can
do for any and all. And so we just thank
you for putting that hedge of protection, and you're guardian
angels around us. Lord, protect us as we go and
just uh, you know, lead us and guide us, Holy
Spirit into these divine appointments that you have for us
on a daily basis. I've experienced in my own life,
(08:59):
Holy Spak that if I stay willing and available, you
will put you will put the right people in my path.
And so I just pray that you would put the
right people in every single person's path, and as they still,
as they stay willing and available, that you will just
bring the divide appointment right to them, and that you
(09:19):
would speak through them and be their words and be
their countenance and be the light that shines bright for
Jesus in the midst of this world of darkness. And Jesus,
we just we you. We recognize that you are the
King of kings, and you are the Lord of Lords.
You are the Great I Am, and the beginning of
the end, and the Alpha and the Omega. And so
(09:41):
we just give you all the honor and the glory
and the praise. And we know, Jesus, that you are
always at work on our behalf, and that you are
always looking to just be expressed through each and every
one of us, not just in our words, but in
our actions and in our servants, in our service, because Lord,
(10:02):
you came to serve and not to be served. And
so just remind us, Jesus that as we go anywhere
and everywhere, look for those opportunities to show Jesus through
serving others, through blessing others, through praying for others, and
through speaking words. Holy Spirit, give us words of knowledge,
give us words of wisdom. Let us operate in these
(10:24):
gifts so that we can tear down the walls of
resistance in people that we encounter, and then the ministry
will be able to flow through us and that person
can be transformed and renewed. As we are the surrendered vessels.
And you are the power, and Holy Spirit, you gave
(10:44):
this to me just earlier when I was getting out
of the shower. Holy Spirit, you are the power, and
we are the prayer, so not prayer like someone prays,
but we are the prayer power and we are the prayer.
So when we pray in the natural or in the
(11:05):
Holy Ghost, the power that you are Holy Spirit works
through us to accomplish what you want to get done.
So we give you all the glory and the honor
and praise Father's Son and Holy Ghost in Jesus' name.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Amen, Amen, Hey, listen, you're just a little bit about
what christ Kingdom initiative is.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, basically, I got this vision from the Lord in
twenty twenty two and he told me to do open
air revival meetings, and so, you know, basically you just
sort of rent the permit in a park in a
local park with whatever city you might be in, and
then you know, you get a worship team to join you,
and then usually sort of flows like a regular church service.
(11:51):
You have a couple songs of worship in the beginning.
I always like to share a couple impactful testimonies, and
then you preach the Word, of course, or she preaches
the Gospel. That's the most important thing. And then afterwards,
you know, you always have an invitation. Now, what I
really like to do in these situations is have some
local churches that I've connected with beforehand, because discipleship is
(12:14):
super super important to me. That great commission fred In
Matthew twenty eight it says, go ye therefore and make disciples.
Doesn't say go make converts and then leave people saved
and stuck. Which we need to do is we need
to have outlets to disciple these people and connect them
with the Body of Christ so that they can experience
(12:35):
community fellowship and usher them immediately into discipleships. So with
the idea that you have a couple of local churches there,
now that serves another purpose too, because when you have
representatives from local churches, you can have prayer team members,
you can have usher members, you can have you know,
other serving areas in the program in general. And then
(12:57):
when the invitation is given for not only salvation, but
to receive the baptism the Holy Spirit with the evidence
of speaking in tongues, we do prayers for healing and deliverance.
And so a lot of those team members from the
local churches can play a dual role, so they can
be part of the actual program but then also part
of the prayer team and the ministry team.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
As well.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And so the reason why I'm sharing this idea is
because I'm hoping people steal it. I'm hoping people steal
it from me and want to, you know, set up
their own open air revivals and you know, rent the
and it's really easy. If you're int a park. All
you got to do is get in touch with your
local parks department and then you go on their website
and there's a farm. You fill out the farm, you fail,
(13:39):
you get an application. One thing that's important to remember
is you usually have to get the approval for the
application thirty days before your actual event, so it takes
a little bit of planning. But yeah, man, I hope
there's a dozen or more people that see this video
steal the idea. The Holy Ghost speaks to them and says,
I want you to do the same thing, because man, man,
(14:00):
I'm about I'm about revival, I'm about the Body of Christ,
and I just get excited if anybody wants to preach
the Gospel in any way, shape or form. That's what
smokes my tires.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Reread amen, me and you both you know, and the
free gift of righteousness is one of those things that
we like to hand out one way or another, you know,
And and I like what you said about you know,
just make disciples because we need to train them up.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
We don't want to just be baby daddies in the kingdom.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
No, that's right, and the truth is right easily, not
all the time, depending on how hungry the new believer is.
But people get saved and stuck if they don't have direction,
and if they don't have discipleship. You might be doing
them a little bit of a disservice by leading them
to Christ and then leaving them alone because they don't
know what to do and they're stuck. And so man,
(14:54):
it's a blessing just to come alongside people. And I
understand no individual can disciple multiple people.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
We don't.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
We have limited time. But that's why we use the
local resources of the trusted local churches. We get the
body Christ involved. You know, there's so many people that
are playing a part, and everybody has a different role.
But just like the regular body, every single role is
crucial and every single role is just as important. It
doesn't matter what your role is, man, you are needed
(15:24):
and and you are going to be used because your
place and your your role is important. That's right, very
But you mentioned the free gift of righteousness, Fred, and
I really like to talk about that. So may I
have a.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Second, Yes, sir, I'm gonna put your own on screen
here and let's you let you go.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Well, what I found out, and this is true with
most born again believers that aren't you know, I guess
sort of at a mature level, you might say, in
their walk with God is everybody sort of gets told
about salvation and they you know, that's accurate, and that's
the most important thing. But also with salvation comes what's
(16:06):
called the free gift of righteousness. Now this is most
strongly mentioned in Romans chapter five, and in fact, I
think most translations are consistent. If you look at Romans
chapter five, you'll find the word gift at least four
maybe five times at free gift. And so just like
salvation is a free gift, righteousness is a free gift.
(16:28):
Now some interesting things, you know, I just sort of
do a little search on my Bible apps that I have,
And that's another secret I want to give away. If
you need a good Bible app for searching and finding scriptures,
E sword LT. It's the word E hyphen sword and
L T it was free a couple of years ago.
They might charge a nominal amount. Just make sure that
(16:51):
you're searching in the version's lingo that you have program.
So I like King James, So you got a search
in King James. But when I search up the word righteousness, Fred,
the word righteousness is found in the Bible three hundred
and six places. Now, the word righteous is found in
the Bible two hundred and thirty eight places. And you
(17:12):
know another thing too, is I like to teach people
that we're already blessed, and so I'll just mention this
quick and we'll talk about it later. But the word
blessed is found in the Bible three hundred and two places,
and so there's no lack of references here. But when
we're talking about the free gift of righteousness, it's mainly
found in Romans chapter five, and it's mentioned in many
(17:33):
other places. But what righteousness really means is that right standing.
When you accept Jesus and you become a new born
again believer and a new covenant believer, as it's also
referred to, you are instantly placed in right standing in
the Father's eyes. Okay, and so now we have to
(17:53):
build a little bit of a foundation here. Most of
us probably know this already, but for those that don't,
we're all a three part being. God is a spirit
and we are also a spirit.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Now we're a spirit that has a soul. Now that
soul is our mind, our will, and our emotions. And
then we live in a body. This is our flesh, okay.
And so the spirit man, or the spirit third of us,
if you will, when we receive Christ, is sealed in
the perfection of Jesus Christ himself. So this is where
(18:26):
the free gift of righteousness is played out. Because when
Father God looks at us, the born again believers, the
new covenant believer, he sees the righteousness of Christ. And
that's why a lot of people refer to Two Corinthians
five twenty one. He that knew no sin, Jesus became
sin for us so that we might become the righteousness
(18:51):
of God in Him Jesus. And so when we accept
Jesus in our spirit man, that third of us that's
sealed in the perfection of Christ. When God looks at us,
that's what he sees see and he sees everything that
Jesus is in us, because we are in Christ, Christ
is in us. And so when God looks at the
(19:12):
new born again believer and the new covenant believer that's
in Christ, and Christ is in us, he sees Jesus.
And now what is Jesus. He sees the perfection of Jesus.
He sees the righteousness of Christ. He sees the fawlessness
of Jesus. He sees the blamelessness of Jesus. He sees
the sinlessness of Jesus, the perfection of Jesus. Every good
(19:37):
thing that Jesus is in that spirit man he shares
with us. And this is now how the Father views
us is in that place of righteousness, and in that
place of identity. This is what I refer to as
identity in righteousness. So our new identity becomes righteous busness.
(20:00):
Now this is really important. We don't make ourselves righteous.
And this is actually one of the biggest problems in
a lot of denominations, I might say, is that even
though they say, yeah, I can't earn it, and I
sure don't deserve it, but through our own self righteous acts,
a lot of times we try to earn it. We
(20:21):
keep trying to earn it, we keep sort of trying
to deserve it because we don't understand identity in righteousness.
And so I used to be in this place, fred Man,
I was stuck because I was stuck. Usually four places
that new believers get stuck if they're still trying to
operate in this self righteous works. That's one place they
(20:43):
get stuck in the mindset of religion, okay, and they
also get stuck in what's called legalism. And then the
fourth place they can get stuck is traditions of men. Well,
if you're not fully aware of your identity in righteousness
and who you are in, it's possible you could get
stuck in one or more of these places. Fred I
(21:06):
know this well because I was stuck in all four
and it was about what I had done, It was
about what I was doing, and it was about what
I was gonna do.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Now.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I had this idea that I had to do right
to be right. It was all based on my self righteousness.
And you'll find this prevalent in some major religions. And
I'm not gonna belittle any of them, because man, we're
all still the body of Christ, I believe. But the
bottom line is there's some major religions that sort of
(21:36):
teach that it's about what you do, not what He did.
And the real truth here, Fred, is that it's all
about the finished work of the Cross and what Jesus
has accomplished on all of our behalfs. And when I
say all of ours, every born again believer, regardless of
what religion you might be a part of, regardless of
(21:58):
what dominant denomination you might be a part of, if
you've accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior,
whether you believe it or not, or whether you know
it or not, maybe you're just finding out tonight for
the first time. You are the righteousness of God in
Christ Jesus. That's your identity in Christ is righteousness. That's
(22:19):
why I just put those two together and I call
it identity in righteousness. This is so important that every
born again believer gets this because what it did for me, Fred,
is it freed me from myself. I was stuck in
all four of those places. I lived in a house
of guilt, shame, and condemnation. Because when you're trying to
do it all on your own and you don't know
(22:41):
who you are in Christ, man, the devil look will
attack you with constant guilt constant shame and constant condemnation.
Well we all know in Roman's eight there is now
therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
But see, you got to know who you are in Christ.
You got to know your position and in the free
(23:01):
gift of righteousness that comes along with the free gift
of salvation. Fred Mann, I could go on and on.
Let me stop there or pause there.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I'll tell you what it's you're doing. Good, Just just
keep keep drugging.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Right along, because that's that's what we talk about on
this particular program.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And it's so important.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Identity is one of those things that, uh, it is
so important. But the enemy comes in and wants to steal.
I mean, he's he's a really good liar. He wants
to steal, kill and destroy, and he that that's his job.
And he's really pretty dark one good at it. And uh,
one of the sayings that my friends and I you know,
(23:43):
enjoy is that the problem with deception is is so deceiving. Yes,
and he's pretty good at deceiving people. And this is
the number one place I believe that he deceives Most Christians.
They have no idea who they they are in Christ Jesus.
(24:03):
They know who they are, maybe in the flesh, but
they don't have a clue what what they are, who
they are when they shoot up with Jesus.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Well, that's and that's so true Fred. In fact, the
one verse that sort of comes to mind, it's in Isaiah,
I believe it's sixty four to six that talks about
how our self righteousness is as a filthy rags to God,
you know, because apart from Christ Man we got no
we got no position. Our position is in Christ. Now
(24:35):
we're still born again, we still have salvation, of course,
but the power is in this free gift of righteousness,
because it frees you from yourself. No longer are you
in this place where. What it did is it freed
me from the place of having to do right, to
be right. Once I stood, once I understood that I
(24:56):
was right because Jesus made me righteous, it took all
the weight off my shoulders, and it was like I
was free. I'm like, wow, I don't have to strive anymore.
I don't have to try to always, you know, live perfect.
And you know, now it's really important here because in
Romans five it talks about the free gift of righteousness
(25:17):
and how we can rule and reign in life as
a king just like Jesus Christ. But you gotta pay
close attention to chapter six because some people will misunderstand,
as I did in the very beginning, that this whole
grace is what it is. It's a grace of God right.
And so now I've come to the knowledge that my
(25:37):
sin's been forgiven, past, present, and future. Okay, So I
say it this way. The sin of the world was
imputed on the body of Jesus Christ on the cross
of Cavalry, once and for all, and when he said
it is finished, that's exactly what it meant. I have
taken care of the sin problem. And that's for the
(26:00):
whole world. That's just not for the born again believer.
And the saddest thing there I'd say this a lot
of times in the street evangelism. The saddest thing in
the world, Fred, is that everybody that goes to outer
darkness and experiences that place we called Hell, they go
to there with their sins forgiven. They just didn't accept
the free gift. They didn't take the free gift of
(26:20):
salvation through Jesus Christ. They didn't take the free gift
of righteousness that comes with that.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
And so.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
You know, I'd really misunderstood this beginning. Wow, how in
the world can my future sin be forgiven? In fact,
I have people that argue with this all the time.
That's impossible, That's what I said, that's impossible. My future
sin can't be forgiven. I haven't even committed it yet.
And then some loving man looked at me in the
eye and he said, how much of your sin was
in the future two thousand years ago when Christ said
(26:50):
it is finished and accomplished the work? Boy, it hit
me like a ton of bricks. Phrase God, well, I
guess you got me there. It was all in the future.
And so that is a true statement. Right. So now
back to Romans six, because Paul makes it abundantly clear
in the very next chapter of Roman six. Now, does
(27:13):
this give us a free card to sin? No, God forbid.
What this does is it frees us from ourself, and
it lets us keep our eyes on Jesus. And then
it changes our entire perspective of when we do fall
and when we do make a mistake, because now you
know what we can We can go boldly to the
(27:34):
throne of grace we can run up into our daddy's
arms and jump up in his lap and say, hey, man,
I made a mistake, you know. And it's sort of
the idea that when you're trying to do right to
be right, and you're stuck in that mindset of religion
and you sin and that guilt, shame and condemnation comes in,
you're sort of like, oh, shoot, I better hide from dad.
(27:54):
I don't want them to let him know what happened.
And you know, you're embarrassed in these different things. And
when you're under and you understand your position of identity
and righteousness, you are gonna make some mistakes and that's okay.
But you can go boldly to the throne of grace.
You don't have to. There is no condemnation for those
who are in Christ Jesus, and it's okay because we're
(28:14):
not perfect. And you know, quite frankly, some people, and
especially in some of these religions, they strive to live
a perfect life and they actually think they're living a
sinless life. Well, let me just give you a couple
quick examples. I believe it says in James four seventeen
to know to do good and not to do it
(28:37):
is sin, it says in Romans fourteen twenty three. Anything
that's not of faith is sin, it says. I don't
have the reference right now, but in Proverbs it refers
to anything when we have a foolish thought, or the
thought of foolishness, that is sin. So the truth is,
whether you like it or not, we sin every single
day and we're not even aware of it. That's what
(29:00):
grace is for, you know, That's what this whole thing
is about. Man. The sin issue has been dealt with.
Jesus paid the price. It is finished, and we can
now be free from ourselves. Because this is the biggest
problem we understand fred in the world, and it can
even creep into the Christian camp. The biggest problem is
(29:24):
self sinneredness. Selfishness and self sinneredness is the.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Root of all sin.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
And I'll tell you, examine yourself and tell me I'm wrong. Now,
some people come right back and go, oh, well, pride too,
Pride's the root of all sin. Well, I can't disagree
with that. But pride, if you look at it's rut,
it's self senteredness, right and so, but the bottom line
is this sin that's been paid we're free from ourselves.
(29:50):
We're free from trying to have to living. We don't
have to do right to be right anymore. We are right.
We are righteous in the sight of God because of Jesus,
because our spirit man is sealed in the perfection of Christ.
Now this changes everything that's right.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
It makes it makes a huge difference because and and
so many people and religion kind of makes make paints
this little picture, and that is that you know that somehow,
for some reason, we've got to we've got to maintain
our salvation some other way by doing good things and
reading their Bible and tending church and doing all these
(30:30):
all of these activities.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
You know, somehow we we we we you know.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I mean, you get born and you get born again,
and that's all cool. But then the next Sunday you
show up at church, they're one they're there nitpicking about
you know, what are you doing, all the things you're
doing wrong or whatever. You know, but you get you
maintain it by the same method that you that you
got it.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Grace, lad that.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Is so true, Fred, And then you know that's really
the key is that we're still we're still propelled to
do good works. Now it's a change of mindset. See,
and that's what happens when you renew your mind through
the word of God and you understand the goodness of
God and the grace of God. Now you're still gonna
follow the model of Jesus, and you're gonna be a
(31:17):
servant because He, you know, came to serve, not to
be served. So you're still going to be involved in
good works. But now you're surrendered to Christ. You're letting
His power and the power of the Holy Ghost work
through you. And it's not you, it's not your own efforts.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
See.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
This is the way that you don't get burned out
because if you're doing it on your own effort and
you're always striving to do these things apart from Christ.
Tell you that's how a lot of these pastors and
church members get burned out and then just get so
frustrated because they think, Man, why this isn't working like
it's supposed to work, and they just don't understand what's wrong.
(31:55):
It's if the righteousness fad. It's understanding God's grace and
goodness and understanding that He paid the debt. We don't
have to strive to do what He already did In fact,
I think it's similar in Galatians maybe two twenty or something,
But it says that if we're if we are born again,
(32:15):
and we are starting to strive and get into that
self righteous works, it's just as if we're trying to
put Jesus back up on the cross.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
He already took care of it, said he ain't going back.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
His finished, He finished the whole deal. That's right, the task,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Praise guy.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Just because I sin again doesn't mean that he's got
to crawl back up there and pay pay a little more.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
That's so silly, the thought process of all of that.
But it goes back to self and you and you
want to be self righteous. You want to be righteous
enough to where you can at least be better than
George over here. You know, I'm gonna make you know.
I can point to George say he's maas a worse finner.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Than I am.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
You know, are somehow somehow that justifies sayings, No, it doesn't.
You know, it's it's your faith in the work of Jesus,
and it's his grace that comes on you that sets
you free. There's no way we can measure up. There's
no way that we can be righteous on our own.
(33:22):
It's His righteousness that makes us righteous, not ours.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
And then in fact, that's what it says in Romans five.
It says that He made many righteous. And so if
the word made is so important, Jesus makes us righteous.
The friends, finished work of the Cross is what makes
us righteous. There's no way we'll ever attain it on
our own. We have to be made righteous through the
(33:48):
blood of Christ. And that's but it's the same. So
he's no respector of persons. And so every single born
again believer is in this category. But you know, I
heard a famous man by the name of Andrew Walmac
say something that I sort of quote all the time.
You gotta believe it because if you don't believe it,
it may not work for you.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
You know.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
And the word of God is true, it's absolute truth.
There's a lot of promises in there for us, but
we have to receive them by faith. See, everything is
appropriated by grace, but everything is received through faith. And
that's not just salvation, that's not just just the gift
of righteousness. That's everything. That's how the Kingdom, God of
the Kingdom of God works is that everything is appropriated
(34:30):
by grace and we receive it through faith because God,
see God never God never created religion, fred Man did.
And I get a little fired up about that, because
all he ever wanted was relationship. All he ever wanted
was a personal relationship with every single one of his
creation that he put on this earth. And the bottom
(34:52):
line is, Man, God in the way and created religion,
and religion is about the biggest division point in the
Body of Christ. We get an argument as well. I don't,
but some people get in arguments about doctrines and about
denominations and about all these different things. Man, I tell you,
(35:12):
this is what has divided us over the years, and
we need to come together, especially in these last days.
We need to come together in the Body of Christ.
And what I tell people all the time, if they
want to start disagreeing with maybe a point that I'm
making or a scripture that I'm referencing, I just stop
them and I say, hey, you know what, let's don't
ever talk about what divides us. Let's just redirect to
(35:33):
the conversation to what unites us and what brings us
all together. And that's Jesus Christ. So let's just refocus,
put our eyes on Jesus and talk about the main thing.
Let's keep the main thing the main thing, because let's
not let this division separate the body of Christ. We're
supposed to be working together on this thing, not five
(35:53):
thousand different units. We're supposed to be one unit, all
in unison. And I believe that's starting to happen.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I do too, And I really believe that the word
unity is something that that you know, it's kind of
misused a little bit, but that just means to come
into union with God.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
And when we have when we.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Come into unity with Him, and the word says that
he gave us power to become sons of God. That
you know, we have the power to become born again believers.
And that's done through belief. You know, It's just like
the scripture of your Quotem all ago, you know, as
(36:32):
for by grace you are saved, but it's through faith,
it's through leaving that that that's the true statement. And
so you know, whenever we embrace that, whenever we receive
that we we are, he comes in and he takes.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Over one third of our of our being. And that's
how that's that. That's that our spirit and our spirit man.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Yeah, spirit into something completely new and different than it
was before. He puts himself in there, and he put
my dwelling place for God. So if he lives in
us where you know, he's gonna make it a holy place. Okay,
So he makes it holy for himself. He's not gonna
(37:25):
live in a in a house that's not holy. So
when you try again, you become His son, and you
enter into that, you are made holy by him.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Amen. Amen, He makes you holy, He makes you righteous,
He makes you everything that He is in that spirit.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Man.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
That's why it's sealed in the perfection of Christ. And
you know, getting back to this faith thingk Fred, it's
it's faith is faith is what pleases God. In fact,
I'm opening up he Brews eleven right here. He Brews
eleven one says, now faith is the substance of things
holy for and the evidence of things not seen right,
and so it goes. You know, a lot of people
(38:05):
know this chapter it's called the Hall of Faith, if
you will. But the real what I'm talking about here
is in verse six. But without faith, it is impossible
to please him, for he that cometh to God, must
believe that he is, and that He is a rewarder
of those who that diligently seek him. It's faith is
what praises it pleases God. Fred. That's why when it's
(38:28):
appropriated by grace, Man, we're right in the will of God.
Every time we exercise our faith, and faith is voice activated.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Man.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
I tell you, you got to speak this faith out. You
got to use your faith in your imagination, and you
got to see. We got to look into the supernatural here, Fred,
we you know, and in fact, that's a good reference
for Corinthians. I believe it's four eighteen one Corinthians four eighteen.
But you know, the things of the world, the natural,
(38:57):
we get stuck in what we call sense knowledge. We
can see and taste and hear and touch and smell,
and that's what seems real to us. But the bottom
line is the supernatural realm is so much realer and
so much more dominant than the natural realm. And see,
that doesn't make a lot of sense to people, but
it summed up in a couple of words. The natural
(39:19):
realm is temporal. It's temporary. The eternal realm, that's what
it is. The supernatural. Realm is eternal. It's never gonna end,
you know. And so things are even though we can't
see them. But see, we use our imagination, right, and
so we take the promises of God and we speak
them out. We believe in our heart, we speak them
(39:41):
out through our mouths. We see that in our mind.
We use our imagination to see our self healed, to
see our self prosperous, to see ourself you know, all
these different things righteous. You got to use your imagination, right,
That's why God gave it to you. Now people struggle
with that sometimes, Well, how do I use my imagination?
(40:03):
And you're using your imagination all the time. You're just
dreaming about the wrong stuff. You know, You're you're, you're
That's what fear is. Fear is faith in the wrong kingdom.
That's right, right, So you're doing it. You're just you've
been taught wrong. And I'm not condemning anybody. I'm not
trying to be little anybody.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
You know.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
The only reason I ever got to any of this
knowledge for it, it is because I made all the
mistakes myself and sort of learn through this process of
trial and error. I failed at everything so miserably I
finally surrendered to the Lord and he showed me how
to how to actually do it and hit his way
rather than my way. Right.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
We get sometimes we get faith and worry mixed up,
you know, and you don't it takes They actually work
in the same same way. But worry tears you up
and tears you down, and faith builds you up and
sets you above. I want you to kind of move
from from from here into Uh. You love to talk
(41:01):
about Holy Spirit, and I want to I want to
just back out of here just for a few minutes
and let you run on the Holy Spirit for a
few minutes and uh, because I really feel like, you know,
we've covered the salvation thing and how to get born again,
but I want you to move on one more place.
I love the fact that we have authority as well,
(41:21):
but when we're born again, we get that authority. But
there's another step that we can get it. There's another
dimension of power that God wants to give every believer,
and I want I want you to touch on that
just for a little while, if you could, Is that
all right?
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Well, I'd love to do that, Fred. And I tell you,
if everybody could open their Bible, if they have it
or open up your bible out Ephesians chapter six.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
And then now everybody knows Ephesians chapter six as the
Armor of God chapter, and it is, and it's powerful,
powerful chapter. But isn't it interesting that in her chapter six,
verse twelve, I believe it is. In verse twelve it says,
for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
(42:11):
against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places. Okay, So the fight
isn't in the natural. The real fight is taking place
in the supernatural realm. Now we're not the ones that
are doing the fighting. The Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost
(42:34):
is the power here, right, and so we're the surrendered vessel.
We get to participate in this whole thing. And you know,
regular prayer is very very effective, and I with never man.
This is how things get done in God's Kingdom is
through prayer and through the baptism the Holy Spirit with
(42:56):
the evidence of speaking in tongues. Because see, now, when
you get baptized in the Holy Spirit and you have
the evidence of speaking in tongues, there's a lot of
promises that come with that we're going to get to
that here in just a minute. But the bottom line
is what we do is we lend our vocal cords
to the Holy Ghost, and then he speaks through us,
and it's always the perfect prayer. Another benefit it talks
(43:19):
about in the in the two chapters of the Gifts
since one Corinthians chapter twelve and one Corinthians Chapter fourteen
talks about speaking the mysteries of God. When the Holy
Spirit prays through us, we speak the mysteries of God.
It's always the perfect prayer. And then it talks about
in Jude. Jude's only one chapter, but it's verse twenty.
(43:41):
It says, but ye beloved, building yourselves on your most
holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. Praying in the
Holy Ghost will supernaturally build your faith. That's the promise
right there in Jude one twenty. I used to work.
I'm a real encourager. In fact, that's the gift that
(44:02):
the Lord's blessed me to operate mostly is the gift
of encouragement and exhortation. And when I was doing it
all on my own, man, I used to get so
burned out. I even asked a pastor one time I said,
who encourages the encourager? Twelve years later, I know, of course,
that's the Holy Ghost. And it's only one source. The
only source of encouragement for the encourager is the Holy Ghost.
(44:24):
And the way that it works best lines right up
with this verse. We pray in the Holy Ghost, he
speaks through us, and we build ourselves up in our
whole most holy faith, and we get recharged, we get refilled,
you know, we get basically reconditioned, because that's the power. Now,
speaking of power, a lot of people know about Pentecost,
(44:48):
it's the beginning. I have acts. It's Acts pretty much
chapter one and two. But it's so important to realize
that in Acts chapter one. You know, I don't have
more time here. I could go through more, but if
we just skip down to verse eight, we talk about
but ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has
come upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me,
(45:12):
both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria
and into the uttermost part of the earth. Okay, So
that's the power that gives the Christian walk a chance
to really be fulfilled. And the way that you fulfill
your plan and purpose for God, I believe is letting
(45:35):
the power of the Holy Ghost flow through you. And
that power when it comes upon you, what we say, Well,
what's the power? What do you mean? Well again, let's
go back to that thing that the Holy Spirit gave
me just tonight. He's the power, the Holy Ghost is
the power. We are the prayers, We're the ones that
(45:55):
are doing the praying. He's the power. Well, power for what,
power to do everything thing that the Bible says you
can do. Power to believe that you are everything that
it says that you are. You know, I believe it
gives us power to lay hands on the sick and
see them recover. I believe it gives us the power
to offerate these gifts and the gift of wisdom, word
of wisdom, and the gift of word of knowledge. And
(46:19):
you know in the gifts of healing is another spiritual gift,
and the working of miracles is another spiritual gift. Now,
this is the power that gives us the ability to
do those things. Is the Holy Spirit's power working through us.
We don't have it on our own. And you know
the most important thing here, fred I love the gifts man,
(46:40):
I tell you I'm a word guy and I'm a
spirit guy, and the gifts are listed in those two places,
First Corinthians chapter twelve and Onet Trinthians chapter fourteen. Isn't
it interesting that between those two chapters that talk about
the spiritual gifts we have the love chapter of First
Trenhius thirteen. Now, a lot of people are familiar with
(47:01):
this one because you hear it at weddings and you
might even hear it at a funerals. Quote it all
the time. But the bottom line is, you can operate
through the gifts all you want, you can pray in
tongues all you want, if you're not motivated by love
and compassion. It says it right in the very first verse,
You're gonna be like a tinckling symbol or a clanging,
(47:22):
you know, chime. It's not pleasing to the Lord. He's
a god of love. Love is his very nature. God
is a god of love. And Jesus walked in compassion.
How many times does it say he looked on them
with compassion? We have to be motivated by love, Fred,
We have to be motivated by compassion. But when we
(47:43):
do that and we stay in compassion, and we stay
in love, and we stay willing and available and surrendered
to the Holy Ghost.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
Man.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
I tell you you'll see his power work through you like
you ain't never seen before in your life. And be
careful to always give him the glory and God. He
doesn't want us to boast on our own. He wants
us to give him the glory. And I give glory
to the Father. I give glory to Jesus. I give
glory to the Holy Spirit because this is the source.
(48:16):
I'm just this conduit guy. I'm the vessel. I'm the
channel that the Lord can work through and that the
Holy Ghost can work through. But I don't just that
Glory's not mine. I ain't trying to take that. And
it says trust in the Lord with all your heart,
(48:38):
lean not into your own understanding, and all your ways.
Acknowledge Him, and he will direct your past. That's Proverbs three,
five and six. And then we have another famous scripture,
and that is seek ye first the Kingdom of God
and his righteousness, and all these things will be added
unto you well if we keep our eyes on if
(48:59):
we keep our eyes on you Jesus, and we keep
focused on the finished work of the Cross and our
identity in Christ. And then we receive the baptism of
the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
See.
Speaker 3 (49:12):
So, then this is what happens, Fred. We start to
speak in tongues, and we are lending our vocal course
to the Holy Ghost. We are temporarily giving him back
the authority that we've been given as a born again
believer here on earth. God needs someone to work through
and any born again, spirit filled believer can operate in
(49:34):
this manner. But you lend your vocal course to the
Holy Spirit, you give him back that authority that's been
given to us. And then the Holy Spirit speaks the
mysteries of God, and he praised the Perfect Prayer, which
actually includes the Word of God a lot of times,
if not most of the time. I'm not privy to
that information, but I think I'm on track here. Now,
(49:56):
what that does The angels realm responds to the Word right,
And so Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost
are sending angels out to accomplish the plans and the
purposes of God. Yes, but they need a person, They
need a person of authority that's a born again believer,
(50:18):
a spirit filled believer to partner with them they use.
We lend them our voice, we lend them our authority,
and then it's the power of the Holy Spirit and
the finished work of the Cross that actually releases these
angelic the angelic beings to fulfill the plans and the
(50:39):
purposes of God. Right and again, God is no respector
of persons. This isn't just for the super dupers, because
news slash there are no super dupers in the Kingdom
of God. And if you think you're a super duper,
that you know it's the guy that always talks about
being humble. Hold on, it's so humble and all that,
(51:00):
that maybe be the guy that's struggling with humility, right,
because it's one of those things that surrender.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
This is the key. This is the key.
Speaker 3 (51:10):
And it took me a while to learn this, but man,
I just got a surrender. And as an evangelist, I
teach people how to share their faith not only with
their circle of influence, but with strangers in public. And
the bottom line is if I stay willing and available,
if I make myself available and I stayed willing to
let the Holy Ghost move through me and wherever he
(51:32):
tells me to go, I'll go whatever he tells me
to say. I'll say whatever he tells me to do.
I'll do if I stay in that place and I
pray in the Holy ghost, Man, your life will turn
into an adventure you never a dream could happen. I
mean literally, everywhere you go, there can be a divine
appointment waiting for you if you're surrendered, willing and available,
(51:56):
and then you let the Holy Spirit pray that perfect prayer.
This is how the Kingdom of God works in the
supernatural realm, and we can't see it with our natural senses.
We got to put off this sense knowledge. We got
to put off this common sense. We got to put
off this fleshly wisdom, because this is what gets in
our way. It's our flesh. Our flesh is getting in
(52:16):
the way. But you stay surrendered, and you stay willing
and available and obedient. Man, I tell you, you're just
going to be a chester drawer of testimonies. I mean,
you have so many testimonies you can't even tell them all.
You know, in fact, this last week or two, you know,
glory be to Jesus. Man, it's such a pleasure and
a privilege to be able to operate in these in
(52:39):
these in this capacity and to be able to partner
with what Jesus is doing, with what the Holy Spirit
is doing in us and through us. But sometimes, man,
you get one or two testimonies, street testimonies every day.
You know, when you go here and the divine appointment happens,
and then you you know, he's you say what the
Holy Spirit says to say. You know, you do what
(52:59):
he tells you to do. You know, you go where
he tells you to go. And the other thing too,
is it's important man, when the Holy spirit's speaking through you,
be careful not to take away anything that he says.
Be careful not to add on to what he says.
And I've done this before, I've made this for say before.
Sometimes he just gives you a little sentence. Now, if
he gives your paragraph, go with the paragraph. But if
(53:21):
he gives your word, deliver the word and then don't
add to it. If he gives you a sentence, deliver
the sentence and then don't add to it. A lot
of times our carnality and our flesh wants to jump
in and the Holy Spirit will give us a word
or a sentence for somebody or a thought, and we'll
share that thought, and then there'll be a moment of
awkward silence and we'll just start speaking out of the
(53:43):
flesh and adding a bunch of stuff to it. And
the Holy Spirit didn't say any of that stuff. So
be careful, just be careful not to add to it
or take away from it. But man, it is the
biggest adventure you could live. And if you're one of
these people that says, man, I don't feel like God
can use me, or I don't feel like I'm worthier,
I don't feel like I'm trained up enough for any
(54:04):
of that, those are all just lies from the devil.
Like Fret said before, he's a master manipulator. He's a
compulsive liar, and he's a loser that's under our feet.
And we have the authority to keep him there.
Speaker 2 (54:17):
We don't.
Speaker 3 (54:18):
We don't. We don't try to get this victory. We
enforce the victory that Christ won on our behalf. The
victory is ours. We walk in it every single day.
And when he gets in your way, you enforce it.
You put him right back in his place. And the
power is in the name of Jesus. When you speak
the name of Jesus, Demon's fleet right you got to
(54:42):
know who you are in Christ. You got to know
your authority. You got to know your gift of righteousness.
You gotta know your identity. You got to know the
power of speaking in tongues and receiving the baptism the
Holy Spirit, you know. And then what you mentioned before
was spiritual disciplines. Of course, we need to practice these
disciplines in our lives. We need to be in the
(55:03):
Word and be renewing our mind. We need to be
in prayer and be in our prayer clauset, in the intimacy,
in this relationship, because that's what God wants, is a
relationship one on one. We need that. And you know,
my prayer closet is my car. My prayer closet isn't
my room, but wherever it is. You got to get
these distractions out of the way. Turn the cell phone off,
(55:25):
turn the radio off, turn the TV off, and you
get into this place of intimacy. This is a spiritual discipline.
I like to speak the word that's called confessions. This
is a spiritual discipline that I implement on my daily life.
You know, I like to praise and worship. This is
a weapon. All these spiritual disciplines are weapons that we
can use for warfare and the supernatural. And when I
(55:48):
say we can use, what I mean is we're the
surrendered vessel. And as we worship in the heavenlys, that's
when the war's taken place.
Speaker 2 (56:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (56:00):
When we praise and worship, that's a weapon. When we
speak the Word of God, that's a weapon. You know,
when we release our supernatural tongue, that's a weapon.
Speaker 2 (56:09):
You know.
Speaker 3 (56:09):
Because back to where we started in Ephesian six twelve,
here we for we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual weaknesses and high places.
Now watch this, this is really good. Friend, got the
(56:30):
whole armor of God after that verse, and it's super powerful.
We haven't got time to go there tonight, but the
armor of God is super super important. We need to
have all these all these things present in our walk
and in our life. But the verse that most people
miss is the one right after it says the sword
of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and
(56:51):
that's Ephesian six's eighteen. Ephesian six's eighteen says praying always
in all prayer and supplication, and in the spirit and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplications for all saints.
That he said, guys, you gotta pray in tongues. Paul said,
I pray in tongues in more and more than all
(57:13):
of you. He said, I wish you all prayed in tongues.
And he prayed in tongues more than anybody else. Is
it a wonder that he wrote the majority of the
New Testament? Is it a wonder that he walked with
a higher level of revelation than most anybody else? Is
it a wonder that God flowed through Paul like he
did well? He knew the power of the Holy Spirit,
(57:37):
he knew the power of speaking in his supernatural language,
and he did it all the time. This goes into
the Verse and first Thessalonians. What is it five sixteen
seventeen eighteen. Rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing, and always give
thanks for this is the will of God in your life.
(57:59):
I'm Parafrae, but I wasn't even planning on going there.
That was the Holy Spirit. So I used to think, Man,
I can't pray without seizing. That's impossible. Man, I can't
even pray in the natural for one ten minutes. I
run out of words to say. Bottom line is when
you let the Holy Spirit pray for you.
Speaker 2 (58:14):
Man.
Speaker 3 (58:14):
I love doing this in the car. I'll pray for
a couple hours at a time if I got a
long drive ahead of me, and you can literally get
into a place where you're nearly praying without ceasing. So
then once you practice these spiritual disciplines more and more
and more, it becomes habit in your life. And then
because it's habit, it becomes reaction and response. So this
(58:37):
comes back to the car wreck. I wasn't trying to,
you know, be boastful or you know, minister to these
people because I could so then I could create a
video with all the people that I ministered to right
after my car wreck. That's just become my response. It's
become my reaction, regardless of what happens to me. I've
made it such a habit in my life that that's
(58:59):
just what comes out.
Speaker 1 (59:01):
Well, you know, the intimacy is where you get that,
that's where God empowers you. That's where you suit up
with him, and then you go out and minister and
you look more like Him than you do you and
that that changes everything. That changes your ministry to not
a selfish ministry, but a but a but a God
(59:24):
type ministry where He where He is working through you
to reveal himself. And that's the power of the of
the presence of God in your life. That's why you
want to get filled with the Holy Spirit. That's why
you want to spend time with Him, get intimate with
Him and be blessed by Him. Listen, I need you
(59:46):
to pray and kind of close this out with about
it out of time, and we'll have you back over
here and again.
Speaker 2 (59:53):
Jay, I love, love, love doing the Word with you.
Speaker 3 (59:56):
Hey, no problem, Fred, And if you don't mind real quick,
I just want to encourage anybody if they have questions
about this or if you know they want more clarity
on this or anything like that, you know you can
reach out to Fred through his messenger or his contact information,
whether it be website or whatever he provides. He can
also feel free, you know. Just a quick reminder, I
have those three places, the seven Minute Share Christ with
(01:00:19):
Apostrophe s Christ's Kingdom Initiative Facebook page, Jay Darren Samuel
facebook page, and then the seven Minute share of the
letter or excuse me the number seven. The words minute
and share are found on YouTube as well as in
the Facebook space. And so you know, reach out to us.
We're the body of Christ. We're equipped ministers, and we
(01:00:40):
want to help you receive this gift if you need
to receive it. We want to help you walk in
the power of the Holy Ghost. And so Father, we
just thank you. We thank you for this time together.
Father God, we give you all the glory and the
honor and praise Jesus. We just thank you for the
finished work of the Cross. We thank you for the
blood that covers everything. We thank you for all the
greats that has been appropriated through the finished work. And
(01:01:05):
Holy Spirit, help us exercise that faith to receive everything
that is good and from God, because He is the
father of everything good, and we can receive it all
by faith. And so Holy Spirit, be our words, be
our countenance everywhere we go. Show us how to, you know,
put off these distractions and get into this place of
(01:01:27):
intimacy so that we can grow in this relationship. We
are his sheep, Lord, we are your sheep. Were supposed
to hear your voice, and so help us, Holy Ghost,
help us. Put off these distractions, find that prayer closet
wherever it may be, you know, make a spiritual discipline
about getting quiet, and you know, coming before the Lord,
you know, and I tell you just just be quiet
(01:01:51):
and let him speak to you. And Lord, just speak
to us, Speak to your vessels, speak to your sheep,
you know. Give us that peace that passes all understanding, Jesus,
give us the ability to walk in the power that
you walked with, because that's the promised Lord, you say
in John fourteen twelve. You can do all the things
(01:02:13):
that we that I did on this earth, and you
can do even greater. I've come to the revelation knowledge.
I believe that greater work is salvation itself, because you
were salvation Jesus, and salvation wasn't available until you died
and were buried and then rose again. You are alive, Jesus,
the living Bible is alive. You are the Word. The
(01:02:34):
Word was God, the Word was with God in the beginning.
You are the Word Jesus, and so just holy Ghost,
bring that Word alive in us, Bring Jesus alive in us,
and just speak through us. Tell us where to go,
tell us what to do. Tell us what to say,
and then let us always be careful to give you
the glory, the honor and praise Father's son and holy
(01:02:55):
ghost in Jesus' name.
