The following is a presentation of FCBFaith. Thank you for tuning in and
listening to power of the word.Prophetic Church Pastors Derek and Belinda Minor,
we thank you right now and makeGod bless you for listening and tuning in

(00:24):
church. We do bless the Lordfor all of you who will press your
way out in an hour. Thatmany are falling away, I mean many
all over the world are falling awayfrom God because of crisis, because of

(00:46):
things that are happening in today.That the world is going through a transition
and things are changing, and sometimeswe're not used to change. And because
we're not used to change, wewere bad against order. Can you say,
hey man, somebody, and todayGod had impressed upon my heart to

(01:07):
preach on spiritual warfare in the timeof chrisis. And I believe this world
is gonna bless you, is gonnahelp you to get through this, hey
man, because this is not goinganywhere anytime soon. So we got the
transition in warfare and order to survivebecause the one thing you don't want to

(01:32):
do is be consumed by your crisis. Can you say, man, somebody,
So if you have your Bibles,go with me to Ephesians, the
six chapter and a very familiar passageand the teen verse, spiritual warfare in

(01:52):
the time of crisis, The lawsof spiritual warfare in the time a crisis.
I don't need to know how tofight and things are going good,
I didn't know how to fight withthings are not going so well for your
same nas a life when things arehappening that I don't always understand when things

(02:15):
are going on in life, thatit's puzzling and we're wondering how are we
going to get through this. We'rehearing so many conflicting reports, and things
is happening all over, not justin America, but all over the globe.
And I've told you last week,when something happens on a global level

(02:38):
is prophetic. It is not anordinary situation. It's something that is prophetic
because it's affecting the whole or notjust your neighborhood. Again, you're saying
mans on bying. So no matterwhere you're run, you're gonna run into
a crisis. No matter what nationyou go to, you're gonna run into

(02:59):
a crisis. When you come tochurch, You're gonna run into a crisis.
When you go to your job,You're gonna run into the crisis.
When you go shopping or to thebeach, You're gonna run into the crisis.
There is no way to go.So you're better learn how to fight.
Can you say that, somebody,man, the laws are spiritual warfare

(03:22):
in crisis. I'm gonna read Epesiasix ten. Do the fourteenth verse.
It says, finding, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in
the power of its might, andput on the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to standagainst the strategy or devices of the devil

(03:46):
coming on. There's a devil.Yeah, but we do not rustle against
flesh and blood or I strong.Our fight is not against people. It
ain't about President Trump, and heis saying there's nobody. It's not about
your neighbor or your your your bass, or your adversary. It's about refining

(04:09):
against spiritual warfare for your wrestle,not against blessed and blood, but against
personalities, against powers, against therules of darkness of this age, against
the spiritual hope of wickedness in theheavenly places. Therefore, take up the

(04:30):
whole armor of God, that youmay be able to withstand. In other
words, there's gonna be a forcethat is gonna come against you, and
you're gonna be able to withstand thearmspot of the devil, it says in
the evil day, in the dayof your crisis, and having done all

(04:51):
the stand, Paul says, standthere for glory to God. I'm gonna
stop right because you might be seated. The laws of spiritual warfare, Now
you need to understand all warfare ispersonal. You better understand that that it

(05:12):
is personal. But devil is afteryou. Not your MoMA, not your
daddy, but the devil is afteryou. All warfare is personal, and
you better start taking it personally.So all warfare is personal. Now there
are laws that govern warfare that sometimeswe forget. Number one, you gotta

(05:38):
know what you're fighting for it.Can you say, hey man? In
other words, we are fighting forthe investment of God's kingdom. We are
fighting for souls and gets saved.You better know what you're fighting for.
The worst thing about a natural warwhen a soldier goes to war, sometimes
he don't understand the purpose of goingto war. But in spirit to warfare,

(06:00):
you better know what you're fighting forit. And number two, you
better know who you're fighting. Canyou're saying that somebody. You're not fighting
just your neighbor. You're not fightingyour enemy. You're not fighting your boss,
your husband, your wife, yourchildren. You are fighting a spiritual
soul who does not take prisoners.Can you say that somebody he comes to

(06:24):
kill, steal, and destroy,and he comes doing your crisis. So
all warfare is personal. In otherwords, it is gain toward your weaknesses.
He's gonna zero in and find outwhat it is to cause you to

(06:46):
get consumed about your crisis. Now, everybody is going through the same crisis
right now, but there are otherindividual crisiss that each one of us may
face something your marriage, something inyour health, something on your job.
We're all facing different type crisis individually. But what we're all we're all in

(07:09):
a crisis. And you're saying thatsomebody, man, so you better learn
the laws. What I'm fighting forbecause anytime you're saved, you are a
target. We need get saved justto go to heaven, but we get
saved to maintain the victory that Christ'salready wont Can you say that somebody,

(07:33):
so I'm called to order it tomaintain the victory that Christ we've heard me
your song about he won on thecross, but I have to occupy until
he comes. So the devil willcome at you with everything he has.
So Paul said, listen, yougotta have on the whole armor of God.

(07:54):
Now, the armor represents protection andcovering. Can you say that body
in other words, if you don'thave protection, you're gonna get in trouble.
You can relate to that through themask, can't you, sir,
having protection to covering. But Paulsays, you gotta have on the whole

(08:16):
arm of God that you can withstandin the even day. Now that tells
you there is coming to day inan hour in which you're gonna know how
to have to stand, because ifyou don't stand in this hour, you
will get in and you will fail. But God says, having done all

(08:37):
to stand, God wants you tostand there for it. Now. When
Paul says finally, my brother,he is continuing a discussion that sometimes we
overlook when you look back at Ephesiansfive and twenty one through Efhesians six and

(08:58):
nine. He is talking about relationships. First, can you say that somebody?
Now you might ask what does thathave to do with spiritual warfare that
has everything to do with spiritual warfare. Paul Stargar saying, I need you
to learn how to submit to oneanother. Then he says, husbands,
love your wives, wife respect yourhusbands, children about your parents, fathers,

(09:22):
don't exaggerate your children, employers andempolice learn to get along. So
Paul is telling us relationship must comebefore a battle. If you are not
walking in the right relationship with oneanother, you jeopardize your spiritual authority.
Can you say that, somebody?Man? So, if I'm not right

(09:43):
with Terry, then I jeopardize myspiritual warfare. Are you getting me?
That's why Paul said, in conclusionto relationships. Finally, my brother,
he says, you gotta you gottalove your w life. You gotta respect
your husband. You got children,You gotta think your parents and the lord.

(10:05):
Fathers, don't drop your children crazyand put as it. Employees learn
how to operate. If I Hallelujahhaving all of you told what to do.
In other words, get your relationshipright in order to fight the spiritual
war there the devil will not respondif you are not walking in right way

(10:26):
with one another. That's why hesays again, one another pair up with
one another. Because if I can'tforgive you, I can't fight the devil
because they ain't that somebody. Sohe says, relationships right now, finding
conclusion, I ain't gonna understand standthere for fight the good fight of faith.

(10:54):
But I have to make sure I'mright with you and with you and
with you. I gotta make surethat I'm an example on my job.
Can you say, man, somebody? He says, now in conclusion,
true relationship. Now, I'm gonnateach you how to fight, and I'm
gonna give you three three points aday. Write this down. Number one.

(11:18):
This is an important one. Butlet's have talked about it. She
hit on. I say, yes, number one, remember who you are,
not who you were. Here saying, man, somebody, remember who
you are, not who you were. Let's go to Second Corinthians five and

(11:39):
seventeen. So number one, rememberwho you are, not who you were.
That's talking about dealing with your pass, saying crinctious five seventeen. Go
ahead, therefore, did anyone,if anyone therefore, if anyone is in

(12:05):
now watch this. You have tobe in Christ. He is a new
creation. Now watch this. Hedidn't say you were rebilitated. He didn't
say you were re educated. Hesaid you were recreated. Can you say,

(12:26):
man, somebody, Now we hadto understand what that is. A
recreation is something that is new,something that didn't exist prior to being created.
Can you say, man, somebody, so, you're not rebilitated,
you're not re educated, you arerecreated, a brand new you. Now

(12:50):
to understand if any man being Christ, he is a new creation. The
old things have passed away. Nowyou must get this. The devil will
use your path as a portal toget into your life. Can you say,
man, somebody, that's why hefights you for what is your past.
But when you are a new creation, you don't live in your path

(13:13):
any longer. It has passed away. It is eradicated. See. The
strategy is this to get you tobe concerned about things that don't even matter.
What you did don't matter. Canyou say, man, what you
did in your past don't even matteranyone. Why it has passed away is

(13:35):
dead and we're still struggling now withsomething that don't even matter anymore, because
in the mind of God, theblood of Jesus has quashed away all of
your sins. The Bible calls thatremission. Actually they say that repenting me
baptized every one of you and theneighbors. Give the cream miss of your

(13:56):
sins, and you shall see thegift of the only ghost we're missing.
Means to take out of existence.Guess this. When you're saved, the
old you is taken out of existence. It don't exist anymore. So your
past don't matter anymore? Why itdon't exist in the mind of God,

(14:22):
whether devil wants to do, it'sfor you to resurrect your pass so he
can put you back and body ditch. Aren't you glad you not who you
were? Yea, I said,aren't you glad you're not who you were?
But devil wants them, makes youwant to make you remember who you

(14:43):
were and stood up who you are. You are a new creation of Christ.
Your things past past? What ispass? Somebody pass? Man gone?
He don't lo be here man?Then why we live like we're still
in the past. So he's findingyou for something that don't even matter.

(15:07):
He's getting your focus on things thatdon't even matter. Why in the eyes
and the might of God, yourpast is none existent. That's why you
could come boldly to the grown orgrace. Why he don't remember who you
were? He knows who you areright now, he knows you. We

(15:33):
gotta remember who we are. You'rea new creation, a new creation.
You're not reformed, You're not rehabilitated, because you can go right back into
the same thing, can't you.But when you're a new creation, you
have nothing to go back to becauseyou're say man, because it is out

(15:54):
of existence, it don't exist.You'll see the mind trick of the devil.
It's a get you to focus onyour past. That's why every time
you pray, what comes up yourpast? Why it's a portal for the
devil to put you back and byThat's why I tell Harold you are you

(16:14):
are not an alcoholic anymore. Don'tsay I'm still you are not Why it
is out of existence. When youkeep saying I'm an alcohol you are laying
claim to it. You are sayingI've never been recreated. I'm the same
old person. That's called redlitation.That is not called recreation. Say when

(16:42):
when you take God make me over, guess what he does, because they
come on, get saved. I'llmake you all over again. You don't
gotta worry you've got struggle. We'restruggling somebody that don't even exist anymore.
I watch this your spiritual power.It is time to your spiritual identity.
Can I show you go Acts nineteen. Watch that Acts nineteen your spiritual authority.

(17:07):
It's tied to your spiritual identity.But let's not give me Luke ten
and twenty Acts nineteen and what firsteleven? Now, God worked unusual miracles
by the hands of Paul so thateven handkerchiefs or apres were walked from his
body to the sick, and thediseases left them as the spirit the evil

(17:33):
spirits were out of them. Thensome of the internet Jewish exorcists took it
upon themselves to call the name ofthe Lord. You know how when we
see something that's might be, weimitate it. But so you can't imitate
about the real thing. A manthey didn't have with Paul head. But
guess what you have? What Paulhad? A man? I think y'all

(17:56):
got, dad. You have whatPaul had, the same holy ghost Paul
has you also have. You wantto get God a praise for that.
God wants a worked special miracles toyou. God wants to drive our spirits
to you. But the Baba says, there were some Jewish exorcists who did
not have what Paul had. Inother words, they were not identified with

(18:19):
Christ. But they try to useChrist. That's like putting Christian on your
label, but not walking the walk. Keep gonna watch this. They took
it upon themselves to call the nameof the Lord Jesus over those who had
evil spirits. We exercise you bythe Jesus. Who Paul preachers. They

(18:40):
say, listen, if Paul cando that, Oh yeah, I can
do that. I've heard many peoplesay preaching seem easy. You get on
up here, come on up here. You see, it ain't the preaching
part. It's what comes after thepreacher can't get saying, man with a
double attacks hair man. That's whyI be careful of saying I want to

(19:02):
be a prophet. I want toThat's why I don't take the title.
Why because if you take the title, you're gonna fight their devons. Say,
man, somebody, I want tobe in cotton neil, I want
to double see me coming? Canyou say that? Somebody? Keep onna
watch this. Also, there wereseven Sons of Sea, a Jewish chief
freed and the evil Speerit answered,is said, watch this, let me

(19:26):
take some devons talking. They said, Jesus, Jesus, we don't we
identified when Jim, we know whoJesus, says Kim, and Paul,
I know, and I know whoPaul is. He says, I recognize
Christ's authority, and I recognize Paul'sauthority. But then he says, who

(19:48):
are you? Yeah, they said, who are you? You don't you
might not identified in Jesus. You'reusing his name, but you would not
afi with Jesus because you don't evenhave to get Jesus. You don't have
no authority over us. Then theman and home, the evil spirit was

(20:11):
leaked on them, overpowered them,and prevailed against them so that they fled
out of that house naked and wantedlisten, not seeing little girls throw grown
me and around like rad tiles becausethey didn't know what they were nasty with
the nas him and all they sawwas a little kid, but they didn't
know what was inside that little kickin his amen. They said, we

(20:33):
recognized Paul's authority because he's identified withChrist. He's a new creation, But
we don't recognize your authority. Whyno, that's what Jesus said, because
a lot of times we're thinking justabout them. No, that's about all
of us. Read this, lieutenant. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this

(20:55):
that the spirits are subjects to you, he says, Nevertheless, don't rejoice
that demons are something to you,because it's not about the demons. It's
about keep going. But rather rejoicebecause your name are written in head,

(21:15):
because you're identified in heaven a man. Remember, spiritual authority is tied to
your identity. Who you are aswhy I said earlier, it's not who
you were, it is who youare now. Because when you become born
again, when you get saved,the devil identifies you as having an authority

(21:36):
to capital every devil. He justsay, man, somebody I want the
work gods as you must be bornagain. That's why you gotta walk into
and who you are. That's whenyou are Christian and you have identity crisis,
you're a real trouble, aren't you. You gotta know who you are.

(21:57):
You are a new creation. Quitallowing the devil to bring up your
pass Tell the devil that don't existthough. More that person that you're talking
about, they long dead. Theypassed away. A long time ago.

(22:18):
Your identity gives you power over all, the power of the devil. That's
why the Samsons of Seneca couldn't donothing, why they were not born again.
They tried to imitate. That's whyI watched this. When you hear

(22:41):
a person in the world see agospel song and don't really move you.
They have a song but not thespirit. A person who was less talented
can't sing a song and everybody feelingand you're saying, man, why because
of the Holy Spirit that's the sideof you, We're gonna spud this inside

(23:02):
of dawn. There's nothing like theannointing. You've been anointed. That's what
makes you knew, the annointing thatis fresh inside of you. Christis has
chosen to live inside of you.Point number two. It's one of my

(23:23):
favorites. He is a god ofpurpose. Let's go to Romans eight and
twenty eight. He is the Godof purpose, Glory of God. Now
I didn't say he was a godof crisis, but he's a god of
purpose, and it's very important tomake that distinguish Ros eight twenty eight.

(23:49):
And if they ever going a secondCorinthians twelve seven, he is a God
of purpose. And it's important tomake the distinction. The distinction because I
have to understand in the crisis,is this it's this chrisis of God?

(24:14):
Is it from God? Or isit what God permits? Everybody got that
you have to identify? Is thisof God? Number two? Is this
from God? And number three?Is this something that God permits? If
it's of God, nothing I cando about it. If it's from God,

(24:36):
it's from my good. If it'spermitted by God, that is according
to his purpose, It's gonna workout from my good. Keep gonna watch
this almost a twenty eight. Andwe know that all things work together good
to those who love God, tothose who work called according to His purpose.
We know that all things my love. Now don't say God call us

(25:00):
all things, but it says thatGod will work all things for his what
his purpose. In other words,you gotta see the purpose of a thing
because catch this, the power ofa thing is tied towards origin. Where
did this originate? In other words, I gotta understand did this come from

(25:22):
God? Is this from God?Or is it something that God permits?
So God says, I take allthings and I work it out for your
good. Even was meant to beevil, God would take it and work
it in for your good. Heis saying, man, he is a
God of purpose. When I knowwhat it came from, I can deal

(25:48):
with. And I'm gonna show youexactly what I mean by this. Second
Crithians twelve and seven the story ofPaul facing all these ordeals. He was
in crisis. Unless I should beexhausted above measure by the abundance of the
revelation, a thorn in the fleshwas given to me. I watched this.

(26:11):
Paul said of us, I've beenexalted of a measure because I'm gonna
tell you something. Whatever you dofrom the Lord, we're a tennessee to
get the big head. Sometimes,can't saying head? Man? Yeah,
oh, God was quiet when youdance and you and people are applotting you
on the back end to tell youyou you good, and man, that

(26:32):
was good. We have a tennesseeand ill everything that get the big head.
Can you say that? So Paulsaid, Let's I still be exhalted
above measure that was given to me. Now we know that this did not
come from God, because it wascalled the messenger a satan. Can you
say that somebody. So it didn'tnot originate from God, but God used

(26:57):
it for his purpose. When Iunderstand the purpose of a thing, I
won't lose faith. I have faith. Can you're saying that once I understand
the purpose, it's working out formy good. It may not feel good,
but it's working out for my good. When I understand its purpose,

(27:22):
I could have faith. I'm gonnaget through this because why he's working for
my good? Give what's this amessenger of sayings above of me? That's
why be exhausted above measure be concerningthis thing. I pleaded with the Lord
three times that it might have partfor me. What's this? You've been
frustrated Paul? After the Lord threetimes? Remember the Saint Paul said,

(27:47):
throw at faith like lue mountains.I understand all mistress and prophecy. I
get my body to be burned.The Saint Paul pray for three times for
this crisis to the part I've seenPrintess Guild television and try to blow away
the virus, and look fool that'strying to do it. Was God gave

(28:11):
us command over the virus, soI'm gonna blow it away. Is it
still here? Still here? Isit still here? Come? Come on
now, so Paul said, Itried three times to ask God to remove
this thing, but God said no. So God you it originated from Satan,

(28:41):
but God also saw it was keepingPaul humble. Can you say that,
somebody? Paul, awesome, hallelujah, Paul, watch this. If
you don't know the purpose of athing, you will be consumed by the
crisis. Once you understand he ispurpose and what God is doing, glory
to car, you'll say where thecars say after God says to me,

(29:06):
my greatest a vision for you,or my strength is made perfect and weak,
he said, listen for which youdon't realize the devil understand what you're
going through is only making you stronger. Can you're saying that it's only giving
you more strength. It's only givingyou more ability to carry the annoyiting that
I have for you. So whatyou're going through is meant the strength to

(29:26):
that carried the annuity I want.I'm gonna say something. Come on.
There are times in my life whenI went through painful experiences now ninety nine
point nine times that it was myown fault that I went through Because you
say, man, sometimes man man. So when God delivering me, he

(29:48):
delivered me from the pain. Butcatch this, he left the memory of
the pain. Now why because hedid not want me to do the same
thing along again. Come on,he remove the pain, but memory still
there. I ain't gone there nomore. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
do that no more. Can yousay that somebody so here remove the pain,

(30:11):
but he'll need the memory. Don'ttry to remember what your God?
Yeah, the pain is gone,but the memory is still there. Ain't
somebody? So sometimes God hearing movedthe pain because he don't want you to
repeat. And a lot of us, you know where you be, come

(30:32):
repeat offenders. Can you say thatsomebody if it wasn't for the pain,
y'all know I got'ta be doing thesame old thing. I'm back in the
same old club, see with thesame old person. Come on, say
then, somebody the same old person. Come on now, I ain't even
gonna go there. I ain't gonnago ahead. So when I understand God's

(30:56):
purpose, I can have fame.Paul said, I see. He says,
therefore both, gladly, I willrather both in my affirmation. He's
a listen knowing that I don't goboast in this. I'll go boast of
my crisis. I'm gonna why,he says, when I am weak,
finn am I strong? And otherwords, I'm gonna carry something and nothing

(31:19):
that was not going be able witha handle because it is not my grace.
Yes, I'm getting God's grass,so you understand he is a god
of her best. Even it's notfrom God, It's all right. The
thorn of flesh was not from God. It was a messenger from Satan.

(31:42):
But God said, Paul, don'tworry about it. I got you gonna
get strong. You balk it up. You're getting strong. Somebody give you
real quick. Song's night two andten this morning reach. You've been blew
my line away. I had toread it four or five tasks where I
finally got it Psalms ninety two andten. But my horn, you haven't

(32:10):
thought it like a wild eye.Now when I when I read that,
I was like, now, Iknow a horn means power to scripture,
but what do you mean by wildox? Then I went to the Hebrew.
It says God will make you strongas an ox. Can I watch
this next verse? I have beenanointed with fresh boys, hallelujah, and
watch this. Quit living up yesterday'sand dorning the nornings. Do every morning,

(32:35):
amen, he said over words.When you have a fresh and norning
every day, you get strong asa god straight will stray in you to
go through your crisis. I catchthis. If I law the crisis to
consume me, so chrisis will becomeyour dead ten Come on now, can

(32:58):
I prove it again? When I'mconsumed about the crisis, my chrisis tell
me to stress out my right here, man, the chrisis tells me you
need a drink. The christis tellme I need to get high. The
christis telling me I need to findsomebody to sleep, which come on here

(33:20):
and ask somebody. The chrisis willbecome your dictator when you don't understand God's
purpose. Don't let the chrisis dictateto you how to respond to it,
because what happens is we're gonna respondone another. I mean to go respond
to God as Paul did. Hewent to God three times? Did he

(33:45):
three times? With the God saysLord, can you take this away from
me? God said, so,I'm sing strap faster. Let me be
faster. Why can your luders fromthen? God said the third time,
Well, they be get on myknees before God, and then maybe they
try to Maybe maybe I'll do thatlike the woman did. He said no.

(34:08):
Finally, he says, yo willbe done. I'm not going to
allow the crisis to consume me.I'm gonna glorifying this. I'm gonna give
God the prices. Why it?Why do you think? Paul wrote all
things work together, but they're good? He wrote the fetis first. He
wrote Roma's last, that all thingsare working together for mine because of even

(34:34):
things I don't understand. I'm gonnclose for the third place. I called
this in the day of trouble.Let's go to go to the namehoom one
is seven. Don't even try tofind it. Namehood one is seven.
You gotta find a look at thefront of your Bible who has and tell
you what page name was on that? There? So a namehoom one is

(34:55):
seven. The Lord is good,She's ready to go A man. I
love this. M Number one waswhat Remember who you are? Now?
Who you are? Number two,he's a got of purpose. Number three

(35:15):
remember you remember and they of trouble. This is vitral Remember day trouble,
day in trouble coming to me.The Lord is good, a stronghold in
the day of trouble. Watch that. This is the first part of this.

(35:37):
The Lord is good and a strongholdin the day of trouble. Now
that tells you what you believe aboutGod. That if you believe that God
is good, then you know himand ask a stronghold in the day,

(35:59):
in the evil day. When youknow by experience that God is good,
you'll always run to God because Heis your refuge. He is your strong
heart, because by experience you haveexperienced that God is good, that he
is a refuge, a fortress,a place of God in the time of

(36:20):
trouble. That's the first part ofthis. What you believe about God.
Number two, And He knows andhe knows those who trust in him.
Number two is what God leaves andknows about you. Number one. I
watch this. God knows those whotrust them, and God also knows those

(36:43):
who don't trust them. That's aboutyou. So he is when you and
God wants you to know him asa good God, not just a song
that you've seen, but by experience. The only way you'll know God is
good is when you run to him. And the day of trouble man.
Who you run to when trouble happensin your life shows you who you believe

(37:08):
in, because when trouble comes,you either gonna respond in one or two
ways. You're gonna go to Goddirectly first, or you're gonna go to
everybody and everything else number two.So you gotta and your only way you

(37:29):
can know that God is good isnot just when everything is going well.
You gotta know he's good when thingsare not going so well in your Latin
and still be able to say Heis a stronghold in the thing of trouble,
that I still like comfort in him. So God knows those who trust,

(37:50):
tell me he knows, and healso knows those who talk. The
worst thing in the world is this? Was this? Is it a data
trouble to discover the faith you thoughtyou had ain't there? Come on because
you never built that faith up.Faith is the substance of the supernatural end.

(38:15):
What's this? You don't know thevaluable thing until it's tested first Peter
one and seven. You don't knowthe true value of a thing until it's
tested. It Just like somebody givingyou a ring and it got what it

(38:36):
looks like diamond in there. Itmay look like a diamond, but to
it's tested, you don't know whatit is. Hey, man, grown,
you can come home now. Thetrue value of thing is always determined
about the tests. It's about thetest. That's when you discover even you're

(38:57):
gold, that you're wear it istested by fire to determine its value.
You've heard of fools gold, yeathat the genuineness of your faith being much
more precious than gold. God says, not just faith, but the genuineness
of your faith is more precious thangold that perish. Keep on though it

(39:27):
is tested by fire. It istested by fire. Remember something. Don't
take the test personal. It's thetrying, the testing of your faith that
produces patience. It's not you gonnatrial, it's your faith to see is
your faith the real deal? That'swhat I was talking about. When you're
with a day of trouble, youbetter know where your faith is real or

(39:49):
not. So God has to testyour faith to see is it of any
value? Keep you gonna watch thismay be found to praise, honor and
glory at the at the revelation ofJesus Christ. A man, can your
faith stand tests? Faith is thesubstance of the supernatural. It's not natural,

(40:13):
it is supernatural, and without ityou can't please God. So God
wants. God allows your faith tobe tested, because why in a day
of trouble you don't need faith whenthere's no trouble? Am I right?
You need faith in the crisis.I can handle what's going good, but

(40:34):
I don't always be able to handlevery well when they're not going so well.
I need to have faith in thetime of crisis. So God allows
your faith to be tested to makesure it's substance is supernatural. And then
so you've got glory. I hopethat you got somebody out that this morning,

(40:57):
hallelujah. About how to stand duringthis crisis? Hey, then can
you stand for a moment? Okay? Remember something. You have to make
your warfare personal too. Take itwhen a devil attack you, take it

(41:21):
personality, because he fight your church, he fight you, and then he's
fighting youth. Take it personally.You have been given the weapons on the
supernatural. Happy. The arm ofGod is supernatural, The faith of God
is supernatural. Everything that God givesyou, your rebirth is supernatural. If

(41:45):
I never again see a blind thatI opened, if I never seen another
death. Ear I'm stopped. IfI see one soul born again, that's
the christ miracle to be anywhere.I think the same hands somebody. That's
a great When I see a soulall that has changed, and I know
that his past has been supernaturally removed, that is the greatest miracle of all.

(42:07):
Being a new creation. You knewif you're not new, you can
become new, because we all saidone time with another I wish I could
star all over again. But Godgot something better than that. He calls
it a recreation man. Because itdoesn't matter how few myself. What matters
how God used. I got allkind of issues in the world, all

(42:30):
kind of looks self sustain it shies. It don't matter to God because he
still sees me as his child.He sees you as his. And when
you the more you get in hispresence, you'll start seeing through his eyes,
you'll start identifying yourself in Him.That's why the Word of God says

(42:50):
in Christ, Word in Christ,in Christ, in Christ, to remind
us we are no longer on ourown. You are now in Christ.
You know what that means. Picturea bucket that's been dipped in the water.
Even though the bucket is filled withwater. It is filled with water,

(43:12):
but the water still surrounds it,covers the bucket. That's why each
woman's could be in Christ at thesame time. It's like putting buckets in
the ocean, still being filled withthe ocean, but still being surrounded by
the ocean. That's what Christ doeswhen He fills you with himself. He
has enough for every last individual onthis earth, because you can never Baba

(43:36):
says, Heaven and Earth can't contain, can't contain. They danced to it.
He's big, and he's bigger thanwhat you can even imagine, and
he imagined this. The creator ofheaven and Earth wants to live in sight
of you, wants to change inyour life, erased your past. That's

(44:00):
why your past doesn't matter to God. It doesn't matter because it doesn't exist
when you are born again, hetold Nicodemus. Nicodemus, you must be
born from above. You must beborn from above supernaturally, not just reforming,

(44:21):
not just rebilitating, not being reeducated, but being recreated a brand
new spirit. I want you toclose your eyes and I want you to
examine your life. How is yourfaith it's just standing up in this hour.
So many are falling, falling bythe wayside, giving up, giving

(44:43):
in to depression, giving into stress, getting into their addiction again because of
the stress that's happening in the nations. And Christ predicts that Luke twenty one
about the perplexity of the nations.No solutions, no answers to what's going
on, and there won't be ananswer to Jesus comes back, So you

(45:04):
might as well learn to deal withthis right now, hey man. But
the most important thing is from beingborn from above. Examine your life,
examine your heart right now, andask God to come in and do a
work deside of you. You can'tdo it yourself. I allow you to
try. We all try. Don'twork. You do good for a while,

(45:29):
you go back, get the sameold stuff. We all been there,
all done that. It's because weneed to be born again from above.
We try, refrenation, we tryto all these things. What I
need to be is born again,and that comes when you surrender your heart
to God. It's all about surrender. Allow God to convict your heart.

(45:52):
Remember, our second fiction draws youcloser to God. He wants you to
come near him. So He canhug you, He can hug all the
pain away that you experience. Justget God to the heart right now.
Just surrender the hearts to God rightnow. Ask God to strengthen you in
his battle in this crisis. Rightnow, I'm gonna pray. Glorious Father.

(46:15):
We thank you Lord, because weknow that you are good. And
Father, we ask you right now, Lord, to thus experience your goodness.
