Summary
Speaker David Myers challenges believers to reject the 'fake news' of fear and defeat spread by the enemy and instead embrace the 'Good News' found in the settled Word of God. By looking at the testimony of Hezekiah and the promises of the Gospel, the sermon encourages a bold declaration of faith that God is in control and His purposes will prevail.
Key points
- •The world often presents 'fake news' and disinformation designed to breed fear and hopelessness, but the Word of God is a settled, eternal report that believers can rely on.
- •Biblical examples like King Hezekiah show that when we receive a bad report from the enemy, the correct response is to take it into the sanctuary and spread it before the Lord.
- •Contrary to reports of church decline, the true Church of the Living God is thriving and growing through the power of the Holy Spirit and the preaching of the Gospel.
- •Believing the report of the Lord means trusting in God's power to heal, deliver, and turn what the enemy meant for evil into something good.
- •The Gospel demands a specific response: repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Life application
When you encounter a negative report this week- whether it is about your health, finances, or family- do not let it take root in your heart. Instead, consciously declare, 'I choose to believe the report of the Lord,' and spend time in prayer 'spreading' that problem before God just as Hezekiah did.
Reflection questions
- What 'bad reports' have you been listening to lately that have caused you to feel fearful or discouraged?
- How does remembering that God's Word is 'settled in heaven' change your perspective on current events or personal trials?
- In what ways have you seen God take something the enemy meant for evil in your life and turn it for good?
- Are you fully persuaded, like Paul, that nothing can separate you from the love of God, or are there areas where you still feel 'unpersuaded'?

0:01little excited when I think about my
0:03testimony.
0:04>> [music]
0:05>> Where God has brought me from.
0:06Hallelujah.
0:08And I know you have a testimony of your
0:10own. Amen.
0:12Praise God. Thank you, praise team, for
0:14ushering us into the presence of the
0:16Lord. Aren't you thankful for the
0:18presence of the Lord?
0:24Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah.
0:27Isaiah chapter 53 and verse 1.
0:35Who hath believed
0:37our report?
0:39And to whom is the arm
0:42of the Lord
0:44revealed?
0:46Lord, do you have a testimony?
0:50The phrase, whose report
0:53will you believe
0:56needs a declaration
0:59of response
1:01that we will believe the report of the
1:04Lord.
1:05>> [cheering]
1:05[applause]
1:09>> His report says, I am healed.
1:12His report says, I am filled.
1:16His report says, I am free.
1:19His report says, victory. You know the
1:22song.
1:24But it demands a response.
1:26>> [snorts]
1:26>> And it demands a declaration.
1:29So, when I say, whose report will you
1:31believe, you need to respond back, we
1:34shall believe the report of the Lord.
1:38Whose report will you believe?
1:45Amen. Let's give the Lord a good hand
1:46clap of praise.
1:50Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
1:53You may be seated.
1:55Praise God. Praise God. So, I kept
1:58hearing this uh phrase over the news and
2:01uh talking about fake news. You know,
2:03that's a new phrase that's out there
2:05now. Have you ever heard that? Fake
2:06news?
2:08Well, fake news by definition is
2:10disinformation
2:12when shared intentionally to deceive.
2:16And they have something that they call
2:18clickbait, I guess, on the internet. I'm
2:20not that familiar with it, but it's
2:22exaggerated headlines designed to get
2:25clicks rather than to tell the truth.
2:28Now, I would just like to declare today
2:31that the devil puts out a lot of fake
2:33news.
2:35And I don't like to give any credit to
2:37the devil, but I do want to expose some
2:39of his tactics today.
2:42He is always out there trying to put
2:45fake news out and to twist the truth.
2:49Amen.
2:50But, let me give you some real news.
2:53Heaven and earth
2:55shall pass away,
2:57but my words shall not pass away.
3:02Forever, oh Lord,
3:05forever, oh Lord,
3:07thy word is settled in heaven.
3:111 Peter chapter 1 and verse 24 says,
3:14"All flesh is as grass,
3:16and all the glory of men as the flower
3:19of grass. The grass withereth, and the
3:22flower thereof falleth away, but the
3:25word of the Lord endureth forever. And
3:30this is the word which by the gospel,
3:35the good news, hallelujah, is preached
3:38unto you. I don't know about you, but
3:41I'm standing on the promises of God.
3:45Hallelujah.
3:46The news in the world is bad. The
3:49weather's bad. The earthquakes are bad.
3:52The economy is bad. The unrest is bad.
3:56The world screams that the end is near.
3:59I talked to a gentleman just the other
4:01day. He said there's civil unrest. We're
4:03going to have a civil war. There's
4:04pandemics already rising up and he was
4:07going on. He said, "I'm stockpiling
4:09things to survive." And I My head was
4:11just spinning. Amen.
4:13And I realized that all those things are
4:15true. The news is bad and the weather is
4:18bad and there's another earthquake all
4:20the time, right? The economy bad and
4:22there is unrest in the land. The world
4:25screams it is end that the end is near.
4:29But you know that Proverbs tells us as
4:31cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good
4:35news from afar country. And I want to
4:39bring you a little bit of good news from
4:42the far country, from heaven. Amen. When
4:46Jesus was here on this earth and they
4:48said, "Aren't you going to speak for
4:49yourself or fight for yourself?" He
4:51said, "My kingdom's not of this world."
4:54We can't get our eyes in this world.
4:56Amen. He said if it was, I'd come and
4:58might bring 10,000 of my angels with me
5:00and we'd fight this battle and kill
5:02y'all. Amen. But he said, "My kingdom's
5:04not of this world." Hallelujah. He went
5:06to the cross for you and I. Hallelujah.
5:09That we could have a testimony. The big
5:13The after this statement was read by
5:16Isaiah when he said, "Whose report shall
5:19you believe? And who has declared the
5:22arm of the Lord?" It's followed by the
5:25the story of Jesus or the prophecy of
5:28Jesus coming to earth and dying for our
5:32sins. And I'm so thankful that he did.
5:35Amen. But the world tries to scream one
5:38thing, but there's good news from a far
5:41country and that's from Jesus Christ
5:43that you can be healed today.
5:47>> [cheering]
5:47>> Do we still believe that?
5:51You can be delivered today.
5:54We still believe that he delivers from
5:56drugs and alcohol and depression and all
6:00different things. We believe that.
6:01Hallelujah.
6:03I still believe it. Amen. Because that's
6:06the report from the word of God and the
6:08questions ask whose report will you
6:11believe? We shall believe the report of
6:14the Lord.
6:16In Matthew, Jesus was talking to his
6:18disciples and they were asking him,
6:21"When is the end times coming? What
6:23about the end days?" And Jesus began to
6:26say, "And you shall hear of wars and
6:29rumors of wars.
6:31See that you be not troubled.
6:35For all these things must come to pass.
6:39But the end
6:41is not yet.
6:42I'll tell you when the end is coming.
6:45It's coming when God says it's the end.
6:48Not before, not when the political
6:50parties decide it, not when a certain
6:53country decides it, but it'll all end,
6:55it'll come to conclusion when Jesus
6:57Christ comes back to the earth like he
7:00promised. Hallelujah.
7:02He said, "For nation shall rise against
7:05nation and kingdom against kingdom and
7:08there shall be famines and pestilence
7:11and earthquakes in diverse places. All
7:14these things are the beginning of
7:16sorrows. Hallelujah. And I'm not going
7:18to read all the way through it.
7:21But in verse 12, it says, "And because
7:23of iniquity
7:24uh because iniquity abounds, the love of
7:26many shall wax cold. But, he that
7:29endureth unto the end, the same shall be
7:31saved." Verse 14, "And this gospel
7:36and this good news
7:39of the kingdom shall be preached in all
7:42the world for a witness to all the
7:45nations, and then
7:47shall the end come." Amen. I want to
7:50remind somebody that the church is not
7:53looking for the end of the world.
7:55The church is looking for revival.
7:58Hallelujah. Jesus wants everybody to
8:01know that he has come to set them free.
8:03He wants everybody to know that he has
8:05come to heal their bodies. He came to do
8:08a mighty work in this land, and it
8:10doesn't matter what the devil throws out
8:13there. It doesn't matter what happens in
8:15this life. Amen. God is in control. And
8:19God desires for his gospel to preached
8:21in all the earth. Hallelujah. We are
8:24expecting a mighty move of God.
8:26Hallelujah.
8:28I'm thankful that we have one here every
8:31week. Amen. Hallelujah. Whose report
8:35will you believe? Are you looking for
8:37doom and gloom and and destruction and
8:40all that? The church needs to be lifting
8:42up our eyes. He said, "Lift up your
8:44head. Your redemption draweth nigh."
8:46Lord, where do you want me to go? Who do
8:48you want me to talk to? Where do you
8:50want me to take the good gospel, the
8:53good news? Hallelujah.
8:55Amen. One of the false reports, the fake
8:57news that is out there, is that the
8:59church is going under.
9:02For the first time on record, more
9:04Protestant churches closed
9:06uh than opened in the US with thousands
9:09of closures unpacking are outpacing new
9:13launches.
9:15Estimates from organiz- organizations
9:17like the National Council of Churches
9:20suggest that tens of thousands to
9:22roughly 100,000 US churches could close
9:26over the coming years. Some of the
9:28reasons for this points to busy
9:30lifestyles and modern distractions or
9:33institutional distrust and scandals. But
9:37most of all, it leads to the fact that
9:39there's a decline in established
9:42Christianity.
9:44Unchurched spirituality is gaining more
9:47prominence over organized religion.
9:51There has been a a broader
9:54social movement over the traditional
9:57religions affiliation toward being
10:00religiously unaffiliated.
10:03That's the bad news. That's the news
10:06that is out there at the world that
10:08wants us to believe in. But the
10:11underlying theme of all of that is that
10:13people are tired of religion.
10:18Hallelujah.
10:20Dead dull
10:22boring churches with no presence of God.
10:28Can we just give our praise team a good
10:30hand clap?
10:31As they usher in the presence of God,
10:35it doesn't just happen. They don't just
10:37show up here and sing another song.
10:39They're here early, they stay late,
10:41amen. They pray and fast over what
10:44they're going to do. But the presence of
10:46God is in this place time and time
10:49again. Hallelujah. We hear reports at
10:52this church that people they said, "I
10:55was just driving by and I felt the need
10:58to stop in."
10:59We meet people all the time that are
11:01wanting something more in their walk
11:04with God.
11:05The attendance ladies up there in the
11:07catwalk, if you will, they keep try to
11:10keep attendance and the
11:11We try to keep track of everybody to in
11:14case you show up missing sometime. Amen.
11:17We like to let you know you've been
11:18missed. But they're telling me that they
11:20can't keep up with all the new people.
11:23The church is having revival.
11:26There's still people for the hungry that
11:29are hungry for God. Amen.
11:31There's still people that are desiring a
11:33closer walk with God. Hallelujah. And
11:36I'm thankful for this church that's a
11:38shining light that says, "This is the
11:40way." Hallelujah. We point them to
11:43Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The one
11:45that can take them out of the fire.
11:47Hallelujah. Without even smelling like
11:49smoke. According to one source,
11:53Pentecostalism
11:55is widely recognized as the fastest
11:57growing religious movement and Christian
12:00tradition in the world.
12:02People want the experience of the
12:04baptism of the Holy Spirit.
12:07And it comes through speaking in other
12:08tongues. And that's what makes you
12:11Pentecostal. Hallelujah. And the world
12:14is seeking after that because it's not
12:16just a fad. It's not just some kind of
12:19fashion. Amen. But it's God in us.
12:23I said it's God in us.
12:27I said it's God in us.
12:30The hope of glory.
12:32And if God's in you,
12:34he can heal you.
12:36And if God's in you, he can deliver you.
12:39And if God's in you, he can change your
12:41situation. Hallelujah.
12:45Because the Holy Ghost comes with fire.
12:47Hallelujah. A different kind of fire
12:50that they were singing about today.
12:52This is a fire that puts something deep
12:54in your bones. Hallelujah. That says, "I
12:57can believe in I can believe in all of
12:59his word. Hallelujah. And I can trust in
13:02the Lord God Almighty."
13:05In the United Pentecostal Church
13:07International, that's the organization
13:09that we're a part of.
13:11Membership has surpassed 2.6 million
13:14people across 203
13:17nations and territories. The
13:19organization includes over 45,000
13:23churches. Leadership reports say
13:26hundreds of thousands of people are
13:28baptized in Jesus' name and have
13:31received the Holy Ghost annually. I can
13:35go on and on with reports, but the
13:39question is, whose report will you
13:42believe? Hallelujah. I choose to believe
13:45in the report of the Lord. We even are
13:49familiar with the Jesus Tent Revivals
13:51that are exploding all over our country.
13:54Just people that are setting up tents on
13:56the corners and preaching Jesus' name
13:59baptism and the infilling of the Holy
14:01Ghost. And it used to just be one group,
14:03and I think now they got four or five
14:06that they've got going around because
14:07they just can't keep up because people
14:10are coming off the streets into the
14:12tents desiring to be baptized in Jesus'
14:15name and to be filled with the Holy
14:17Ghost. Why? Because the end is coming.
14:21And in the last days, God's going to
14:23pour out his spirit upon all flesh.
14:25Hallelujah. And as we see God moving,
14:28hallelujah, it's time for the church to
14:31stand up and to realize, hallelujah,
14:33we're going to believe in the report of
14:36the Lord.
14:37Jesus made this statement, "The gates of
14:40hell shall not prevail against the
14:44church." Do you believe that today?
14:47I mean, do you really have that in your
14:49gizzard?
14:51That the church isn't going down? I
14:54don't care what the headlines scream. I
14:56don't care what ABC, NBC, all those
14:59other ABCs, amen, are saying the Church
15:03of the Living God is thriving. It's on
15:05the move. Hallelujah. It's going to make
15:08a difference all over the world. Praise
15:11God. Praise God.
15:15And I'm thankful for our pastor. He's a
15:17evangelist. Hallelujah. Missionary
15:19evangelist that travels all over the
15:22world with this belief. Hallelujah.
15:24Having crusades and all these other
15:26things that he does. And we need to
15:29thank the Lord for the man of God that's
15:30in our lives. Amen.
15:33>> [clears throat]
15:34>> Because all of his effort flows down
15:36into this church. Hallelujah. And we are
15:39the ones that benefit from the power of
15:41the Holy Ghost that we can feel and you
15:44feel the power of God's presence in this
15:46place today. I don't ever want to take
15:48it for granted. I don't ever want to
15:50just come lackadaisically into the house
15:53of God, but I want to remember the day
15:55that I came in and I felt the power of
15:58God so strong that I was so fearful
16:00because I was in the presence of a holy
16:03God. Hallelujah. And I knuckles turned
16:06white as I held the back of that pew,
16:08but it's when I finally let go and let
16:10God. Hallelujah. He changed my life
16:13around.
16:14I said he changed my life around. He
16:17pulled me out of that fire. Hallelujah.
16:19Hallelujah.
16:21Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
16:24Whose report will you believe?
16:30The other fake news that's going around
16:33is that God's not real.
16:35And he can't deliver you.
16:38And that God doesn't love me. He's not
16:40real. He can't be felt. Hallelujah.
16:43Well, they've never been to one of our
16:44services. Hallelujah. He's real and he
16:47can be felt.
16:49In 2 Kings chapter 19, the kings of
16:52Assyria were conquering the lands all
16:55around them.
16:56Then the kings of Assyria sent messages
16:59again unto Hezekiah.
17:01He was the king of Judah, saying, "Let
17:04not thy God
17:06speaking of Jehovah. He said, "Let not
17:08thy God in whom thou trust deceive thee,
17:11saying Jerusalem shall not be delivered
17:13into the hand of the king of Assyria.
17:16Behold, thou hast heard."
17:19This is what he's telling King Hezekiah.
17:22"Thou hast heard what the kings of
17:23Assyria have done to all the lands by
17:27destroying them utterly. And shall thou
17:30be delivered?
17:32Have the gods of the nations delivered
17:34them
17:35out of my father's hands which they have
17:37destroyed?" And he goes on to list about
17:4110 kings and cities that they've already
17:44conquered.
17:45And Hezekiah received the letter
17:49of the hand of the messengers and read
17:51it in verse 14 of 2 Kings 19. And
17:56Hezekiah went into the house of the Lord
17:59and he spread it before the Lord.
18:02Hallelujah.
18:04He got a bad report, but he took it
18:07before God and he spread it in the house
18:10of the Lord. I want you to know you're
18:11in the right place today. This is the
18:14house of the Lord. Hallelujah. I want
18:16you to know that you can bring your
18:18problems, bring your troubles, bring
18:21your heartache, bring your pain. Jesus
18:23stands and cries. Hallelujah. If any man
18:26come unto me, I will give him rest.
18:29Hallelujah. Come unto me, all you that
18:31labor and are heavy laden. Hallelujah.
18:34He desires for us to come unto him. So,
18:38Hezekiah brought that before the Lord
18:41and this is God's report. God reported
18:43back to him through the prophet Isaiah.
18:46Therefore, thus saith the Lord
18:47concerning the kings of Assyria, "He
18:49shall not come into this city. He won't
18:52even shoot an arrow there, nor come
18:54before it with a shield, nor put a an
18:57embankment about it. For I will defend
18:59this city to save it for my own sake and
19:04for my servant David's sake. Amen. And
19:07through the night God just sent an angel
19:09and he said, "Go down there and wipe
19:10them out." And in one night, one angel
19:13went through and took care of 185,000
19:16Assyrians and the king that was there,
19:19he woke up and they were all dead
19:21corpses it said. And he just went home.
19:24And when he got home, his own sons
19:27killed him. Amen. I want you to know
19:29that he Hezekiah did the right thing.
19:32That he brought it before the Lord.
19:35And we always get a bad report from the
19:37devil or from whatever. Hallelujah. He
19:40wants to whisper in your ear, "You're
19:41not good enough." He wants to whisper in
19:44your ear, "You're not going to make it."
19:45Hallelujah. He's got this letter that he
19:48sent to you, so giving you put you on
19:50notice and he's saying, "You know,
19:52you're not going to be delivered. God
19:53can't deliver you." But I want to remind
19:56somebody. Hallelujah. That the devil is
19:58a liar. Amen.
20:00And that we need to bring it before the
20:02Lord. Set it out before God. Hallelujah.
20:05Hallelujah. And I know we go through
20:08tough times and we get our eyes
20:09sometimes on the world and it seems
20:12pretty bleak. Amen. That's what happened
20:14to the psalmist of David. In Psalm 73,
20:17he said, "Truly God is good to Israel
20:20even to to such as we are of a clean
20:23heart. But as for me," he said,
20:26"My feet almost were gone. My steps had
20:29well nigh slipped. For I was envious of
20:32the foolish when I saw the prosperity of
20:35the wicked." Here's David is trying to
20:37do his best to live right for God.
20:40Things aren't going that right for him.
20:42Amen. But he looks around and and sees
20:44the wicked and the prosperity of the
20:46wicked and he said his feet almost
20:48slipped because of it all. Amen. But he
20:51says down in uh verse number eight,
20:54"They are corrupt. They speak wickedly
20:57concerning oppression. They speak
21:00loftily. They set their mouth against
21:03the heavens and their tongue walketh
21:05through the earth." Amen. The wicked,
21:08they just walk around talking a lot.
21:10Amen. They're just piping off and
21:12they're just saying there's no God. They
21:14say, "How doth God know? And is there
21:17any knowledge in the most high?"
21:20And he said, "Behold, these are ungodly
21:23who's prosper in the world, who prospers
21:25in the world and they increase in their
21:27riches." And then in verse 16 though,
21:30the psalmist said said this. He said,
21:33"When I thought to know this, it was too
21:36painful for me
21:38until I went into the sanctuary,
21:42into the house of God, then I understood
21:47their end." Hallelujah.
21:49I feel this so strongly in my spirit
21:53today to let you know that God is in
21:56control.
21:58When the earth or all around me is
22:00sinking sand, on Christ, the solid rock,
22:04I'm going to stand. Hallelujah.
22:06Hallelujah. We need to realize that our
22:09God is in control and that the devil is
22:12not.
22:14God's got him on a short leash and he
22:16can only do whatever God allows him to
22:18do. I want you to understand that today.
22:21The devil doesn't have any power unless
22:24God has said, "Okay, I'll let you do
22:26this." Hallelujah. The devil does
22:28Somebody said doesn't even have the keys
22:30to his own house. Amen. And one day, the
22:34Bible says in the book of Revelation
22:36that one angel, one angel, unnamed angel
22:41is going to come down, wrap some chains
22:43around him, and throw him into the pit.
22:46Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I want to
22:48realize I want somebody to realize today
22:51I want to expose the devil today that he
22:54has no power.
22:56I said he has no power except God gives
22:59it to him.
23:00>> [cheering]
23:01[applause]
23:01>> Because our God is in control.
23:04Our God's not nervous about the economy.
23:08Our God's not fearful about wars and
23:10rumors of wars. Our God's not fearful
23:13about the things that are happening in
23:15this world. Hallelujah. Because God is
23:18in control. And if we'll put our hands
23:21into his hands, Hallelujah, he is going
23:24to take us to the other side. Jesus is
23:28the author and the finisher of your
23:30faith.
23:32I said Jesus is the author
23:35and the finisher of your faith. And I
23:37don't know I know there's things that
23:39come into our lives and tear us apart. I
23:41know there's bad things that happen.
23:43Amen. But I know this also, Hallelujah,
23:46that God is going to never going to
23:48leave us. He's never going to forsake
23:50us. Hallelujah. And I don't care if you
23:53don't have anything left. God's still
23:55there.
23:56Amen. God's still there and he'll pick
23:59up what you even don't have left and he
24:01can make something out of nothing.
24:03Hallelujah. Because God is all powerful.
24:07Our God is almighty. Hallelujah. There
24:10is nothing that our God cannot do. I
24:13know we live in this world and we go
24:15through the emotions of our life, but
24:18somebody needs to realize today I'm
24:21going to believe the report of the Lord.
24:25>> [cheering]
24:29>> I said I'm going to believe the report
24:32of the Lord.
24:34His report says am healed. His report,
24:39hallelujah, says I am free.
24:42His report says victory, hallelujah,
24:45hallelujah.
24:47Woo!
24:48I want you to know that God's in
24:50control.
24:52I don't know how long I need to stay on
24:54this, but I just have to get it in our
24:55hearts and our minds that we're not just
24:58going through the motions here.
25:00We're resting on the arms of the
25:02everlasting arms of a creator.
25:06God created everything. The Bible even
25:09says he created evil.
25:11He created all things for himself. And
25:14do you think that he's going to let you
25:16down? Not on Not on your life, amen.
25:19He's going to keep you, hallelujah. He's
25:21going to lead you, he's going to guide
25:23you, because our God is a loving God. He
25:27loves you.
25:29I said he loves you.
25:31Look at your neighbor and remind them he
25:33loves you, hallelujah.
25:35These are some of the common deceptions
25:37of the devil. You're all alone.
25:40Your past defines you.
25:42You're too weak to change. God doesn't
25:45care about your suffering.
25:47Your life has no real purpose. But can I
25:50remind you
25:52that the story that we just read, or the
25:55backstory behind whose report are you
25:58going to believe, talks about the coming
26:00of Jesus Christ and going to the cross?
26:04Hallelujah, hallelujah. He'd come for
26:07us. He was wounded for our
26:09transgressions.
26:11He was bruised for our iniquities. The
26:14chastisement of our peace was upon him,
26:17and by his stripes we are healed,
26:20hallelujah. That's just a few verses
26:22behind what we read in chap- in verse
26:25number one. And I want you to know this
26:28is a common verse, and sometimes we kind
26:31of
26:32tend to stray away from it because it's
26:34the world's verse. For God so loved the
26:38world. Hallelujah. We don't need to
26:40stray away from that. This is our verse.
26:43Hallelujah.
26:44He said he so loved the world that he
26:47gave his only begotten son that
26:50whosoever believeth in him should not
26:53perish, but have everlasting life. Can
26:56you say amen?
26:58And I got just one little song for that.
27:01Jesus loves me, this I know.
27:05For the Bible tells me so. Hallelujah.
27:09Little ones to him belong. They are
27:13weak, but he is strong. He is almighty.
27:17We can't comprehend the power that our
27:20God has. And he's saying he wants to
27:23give it to him. Paul prayed. He prayed
27:25for the church. I believe it was in
27:26Ephesus, and he said, "I'm praying this
27:29that the eyes of your understanding
27:31might be enlightened that you might
27:33understand the fullness of his power.
27:35Hallelujah. To us-ward, to the church.
27:38Hallelujah. We need to thank God for his
27:41goodness and for his mercy and for his
27:44power that he has given unto us. Hebrews
27:4713 says, "And he has said, I will never
27:49leave thee nor forsake thee so that we
27:53may boldly say, The Lord is my helper."
27:58Hallelujah. Aren't you thankful that the
28:00Lord is your helper today?
28:02I'm hurrying.
28:04But the third thing that I wanted to
28:06bring out is that the lie in the of the
28:08enemy is that there's many ways to get
28:10to heaven.
28:12All roads lead to heaven.
28:14You just sit on your couch and say, "I
28:16believe in God." And you're on your way
28:18to heaven. I want you to know that the
28:20devils believe.
28:22They tremble.
28:24Amen.
28:25Hallelujah. Ephesians chapter 4 verse 4
28:27says, "There is one body and one spirit,
28:31even as you are called in one hope of
28:33your calling. There's one Lord, there's
28:36one faith, and there's one baptism."
28:39Any questions on that?
28:41One God and Father of all, who is above
28:44all, through all, and in you all. Jesus
28:48told Nicodemus in John chapter 3, he
28:51said, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
28:53except a man be born of the water and of
28:56the spirit, he cannot enter into the
28:59kingdom of God. You've got to be born of
29:01the water and of the spirit. You've got
29:04to be baptized in Jesus' name and filled
29:07with the Holy Ghost." John chapter 7
29:10verse 38 says, "He that believeth in me,
29:12as the scriptures have said, out of his
29:15belly, hallelujah, shall flow rivers of
29:18living water. But this spake he of the
29:21spirit, which they that believe on him
29:23should receive, for the Holy Ghost was
29:26not yet given, because Jesus was not yet
29:29glorified." Hallelujah. If you believe
29:31on him, he wants to fill you with his
29:34presence. Hallelujah. With the evidence
29:37of speaking in other tongues.
29:38Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Mark chapter 16
29:41verse 16 it says, "He that believeth and
29:44is baptized shall be saved. He that
29:47believeth not shall be damned." Amen.
29:51Acts chapter 2 verse 36. This is the day
29:54after Jesus had risen
29:56from the dead or several days after he
29:59had risen from the dead. The disciples
30:01were praying in Jerusalem. And in Acts
30:04chapter 2 verse 36 it says, "Therefore,
30:07let all the house of Israel know
30:09assuredly that God hath made this same
30:12Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and
30:15Christ." Peter gets up to preach to
30:18them. Jesus was the Messiah and you
30:21crucified him. And now when they heard
30:23this, they were convicted in their
30:25hearts and said to Peter and to the rest
30:27of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what
30:30shall we do?" Amen. Then Peter said unto
30:34them, "Repent and be baptized every one
30:37of you in the name of Jesus Christ for
30:39the remission of sins and you shall
30:42receive the gift of Christ for the
30:45remission of your sins. It's through
30:48baptism that we have our sins remitted
30:51from us and you shall receive the gift
30:55of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah.
30:56Hallelujah. This is a gift from God. All
31:00you have to do is receive it for the
31:03promises unto you and to your children
31:07and them that are afar off even as many
31:10as the Lord our God shall call. Do you
31:14believe it today?
31:16Whose report will you believe?
31:18Hallelujah. We shall believe the report
31:22of the Lord. In closing, I just want to
31:25ask this question. What report are you
31:28listening to?
31:29Second Corinthians tells us that all the
31:32promises of God in him are yea
31:35and amen
31:37under the glory of God by us. Can you
31:40say amen?
31:41There's power in that, you know. It's a
31:44declaration again, you know. The war The
31:47world report says, "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
31:51Whatever."
31:53It comes on a descending scale. Amen.
31:56Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Amen. But
32:00the church says, "Amen."
32:03Amen.
32:04Amen. It's on an ascending scale because
32:08the more firm you are about your belief,
32:10the louder the amen will be. Hallelujah.
32:13When you believe something in your
32:15heart, it makes you shout out Amen.
32:18Hallelujah. I believe it. Amen. Do you
32:21believe the report of the Lord?
32:24Hallelujah. Amen. Romans chapter 8 verse
32:2835 says who shall separate us from the
32:31love of Christ? Shall tribulation or
32:34distress or persecution or famine or
32:37nakedness or peril or sword? As it is
32:41written, for thy sake we are killed all
32:43the day long. We are counted as sheep
32:46for the slaughter. Nay, but in all these
32:48things we are more than conquerors
32:53through him that loved us.
32:55Paul said this, I am persuaded. Are you
32:58persuaded this morning?
33:00I mean, are you really persuaded this
33:02morning? There's a power in being
33:04persuaded. If you're not, I'm trying to
33:06get you persuaded today. Hallelujah,
33:08that neither death nor life nor angels
33:11nor principalities nor powers nor things
33:13present nor things to come nor height
33:16nor depth nor any other creature shall
33:19be able to separate us from the love of
33:21God which is in Christ Jesus
33:24our Lord.
33:26Hallelujah. It makes you say amen. Amen.
33:30Cuz when I think of the goodness of
33:32Jesus and all that he's done for me,
33:36my soul cries out
33:39Hallelujah.
33:42>> [cheering]
33:43>> I said my soul cries out Hallelujah.
33:48I feel like Mary that said and when when
33:50she gave the glorification, my soul doth
33:53magnify the Lord and my spirit hath
33:57rejoiced in God my savior. Hallelujah.
34:01Hallelujah.
34:02God is doing great things. Psalms
34:06chapter 47 says, "Oh, clap your hands,
34:09all you people. Shout unto the God with
34:13the voice of triumph.
34:15>> [cheering]
34:16>> God is gone up with a shout.
34:19The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
34:22Sing praises to God. Sing praises. Sing
34:26praises unto our king. Sing praises.
34:30Hallelujah. Hallelujah. There's power
34:34in your voice.
34:36I said there's power in making a
34:38declaration.
34:40And I don't know what you've been
34:40listening to or thinking in your mind. I
34:42want you to know that you can make a
34:44declaration today that says I'm not
34:46going to receive that bad report. Amen.
34:49And I believe that our God is able to do
34:51all things. Matthew chapter 17 verse 20,
34:55Jesus said for verily I say unto you, if
34:57you have faith as a grain of a mustard
34:59seed, you shall say to this mountain,
35:02remove hence
35:04to yonder place.
35:06And it might remove itself.
35:09It shall remove. And nothing shall be
35:15impossible
35:16to you.
35:18You don't need a lot of faith. Just a
35:20little bit as a grain of a mustard seed.
35:23Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And to realize
35:26that God is able to do anything through
35:29you.
35:30Amen. The power works according to us.
35:34Hallelujah.
35:35Who hath believed the report of the
35:38Lord?
35:39And to whom is his arm and to whom is
35:42the arm of the Lord revealed?
35:46Hallelujah. Do you have a testimony
35:48today?
35:49Do you already believe it? If you don't,
35:52I want you to know that you can have a
35:53testimony this morning. Let's all stand.
35:58Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
36:01Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
36:05Amen. Amen. I want us to make that
36:07declaration again. Whose report shall
36:10you believe? We shall believe the report
36:14of the Lord.
36:16Whose report shall you believe?
36:19Hallelujah.
36:22It helps if you sing it a little bit
36:24like you shall we shall believe the
36:27report of the Lord. Amen. It helps if
36:29you just shout it out a little louder.
36:31Amen. Or move a little bit with it. But
36:34whose report shall you believe?
36:39Report of the Lord. Hallelujah.
36:42Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
36:47Take it to the Lord today.
36:50Be like Hezekiah and the psalmist David.
36:53They came into the sanctuary of God and
36:55they presented their case.
36:58Isaiah chapter 46:9, remember the former
37:01things of old.
37:03For I am God
37:05and there is none else.
37:07I am God
37:08and there is none like me.
37:11There's no
37:13understanding our God.
37:15He is so great.
37:17Declaring the end from the beginning
37:20and from ancient times the things that
37:23are not yet done.
37:25Saying,
37:26my counsel shall stand.
37:29>> [music]
37:29>> Amen. Verse 10.
37:32My counsel
37:33shall stand. Do we have that up there?
37:36Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Verse 10,
37:39declaring the end from the beginning and
37:41from ancient times the things that are
37:43not yet done. Saying, my counsel
37:46shall stand.
37:48Read that with me. My counsel shall
37:50stand.
37:52And I will do
37:53all my pleasure.
37:56God is in control. Hallelujah.
37:59Calling on the ravenous bird.
38:01Hallelujah. From the east and the man
38:02that executeth my counsel from a far
38:05country. Yea, this is what the Lord
38:08says, I have spoken it.
38:10I will bring it to pass.
38:12I have purposed it. And I will also do
38:14it.
38:16He is the author and the finisher of
38:18your faith.
38:19And I'm a believer that nobody's here
38:21today by accident.
38:23Amen. And what he's started in you, the
38:26Bible says he'll finish.
38:29He shall perform it. You believe that
38:31today?
38:32Hallelujah, you're not on the losing
38:33side.
38:35I said you're not on the losing side.
38:38I don't know what report the enemy's
38:40been trying to speak into your ear,
38:42but I want you to come today
38:44and to put it on the altar. Amen. Bring
38:48whatever it is, the negative thoughts,
38:49whatever it is, the fears, the
38:51disappointments, bring [music] it to the
38:54altar right now. Can you just all come
38:56to the altar?
38:58And just lay it out before the Lord.
39:01Amen.
39:09Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah.
39:13If you've never been baptized in Jesus'
39:15name,
39:16come to this altar.
39:19Talk to the Lord. Hallelujah.
39:21He'll fill you with his spirit. There's
39:23people that'll help you pray.
39:26Let Let a one of the ministers know the
39:28or ushers that you desire to be baptized
39:31in Jesus' name.
39:33Hallelujah, it'll change your life.
39:36Your sins will be washed away.
39:38Hallelujah.
39:40Praise God. Praise God.
39:43Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus.
39:46Move all the way up to the front if you
39:48can. There's others that are coming.
39:52Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah.
39:56Amen, we got to recognize this morning
39:58that our God is in control.
40:01Doesn't matter what
40:02the doctor say,
40:04doesn't matter what the lawyer say,
40:07doesn't matter what the landlord say,
40:10doesn't what matter what the job boss
40:12says. Hallelujah.
40:15God has the final say.
40:18Speak to your mountain this morning.
40:21Lift up your hands and take it before
40:23the Lord right now.
40:25God, I believe your report. I believe
