Summary

Speaker Brother Glynn explores the practical and spiritual power of fasting, prayer, and responding to God's Word, emphasizing that our effort meets God's empowerment for the impossible.

Key points

•Pentecost is essentially a corporate prayer meeting that invites spiritual intoxication, moving beyond human intellect into spiritual expression.
•A listener's intentional response to God's word (saying 'Amen', participating in worship) is often the catalyst that turns a spoken promise into a personal miracle.
•Intermittent fasting (ideally a 16:8 schedule) is a flexible tool for spiritual discipline that allows the body to rest while focusing the heart on righteousness.
•Spiritual anointing is not meant for simple tasks we can do ourselves; it is God's empowerment to perform things that are humanly impossible.
•God rewards effort and desire; if you start with the small amount of faith or strength you have, He will multiply it and enlarge your capacity.

Faith and Response

Life application

This week, practice the 'law of response' by vocalizing your agreement with God's Word and stepping out in faith to perform one task you feel is beyond your natural ability.

Reflection questions

In what areas of your life are you relying on your own intellect rather than asking for spiritual anointing?
How does changing your physical habits (like fasting) shift your perspective on spiritual matters?
Are you a 'passive hearer' or an 'active responder' during church services, and how does that affect your spiritual growth?
What is one 'impossible' prayer you can give to God this week, trusting Him to handle the part that is beyond you?

0:09A corporate prayer is where we pray, we

0:12join our voices, we join our faith, we

0:15join our passion. That's it. If you want

0:17to stand, you want to stretch your hands

0:18towards heaven in the name of Jesus. In

0:21the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus.

0:25God, I thank you, Lord. I thank you

0:27because you're here. I thank you because

2:28effects of it. Thank you for whatever

2:30way you have been worship serving and

2:33and and fasting. Thank you. Thank you.

2:35Thank you. Brother Klein is just going

2:37to come. We're going to turn over to

2:39him. I don't know about you, but I think

2:41this is the right atmosphere for God to

2:43work and God to speak. This is the right

2:45atmosphere for the Holy Ghost to set the

2:48stage. Right now, the stage is set that

2:51the Lord will speak to us in a very very

2:53special way. Why don't you stand as he

2:55comes tonight, as he comes to bring us a

2:58word, whatever the Lord has laid on his

3:00heart, in Jesus name. Hallelujah.

3:02Brother Klein is blessed.

3:04>> [applause]

3:05>> I'll be up here.

3:08Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

3:11I know they're having trouble with the

3:13light board back there. If it's possible

3:15to get some lights on, that would be

3:17great. And and I say it that way because

3:21the lights were coming on and off and

3:22they weren't doing it.

3:23So, they're having a little trouble with

3:24the light board. If if there's a way to

3:26get some on somewhere, even on the

3:28platform or just whatever you can do, I

3:30would appreciate it. Amen. Why don't we

3:33take a few minutes before I say anything

3:35about anything, and why don't we with

3:38all of our hearts, with loud voices,

3:40clapping of hands, shouting, lift up

3:43some praise. Just worship, praise,

3:46thanksgiving.

3:48Blessed be the name of the Lord. Some of

3:50you folks that are bold and

3:52un-intimidated, shout out loud some

3:55Hallelujahs.

3:57Shout unto God with the voice of

3:59triumph.

4:01Shout unto the Lord with a voice

4:05with your voice, the shout, the war cry,

4:08the shout of victory.

4:10You're an overcomer just by being here.

4:13You're in the victory just because you

4:15made it here.

4:17I release victory. I express victory. I

4:19express faith. I express the exuberance

4:23of of my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

4:27I receive your strength.

4:29I receive your anointing. I receive your

4:32healing. I receive your power. I receive

4:35your help.

4:37OH [screaming]

4:38MY HELP COMETH from the Lord.

4:41Your help cometh from the Lord. Receive

4:44strength in your physical body. Receive

4:48strength in your soul, in your mind, in

4:51the name of the Lord. Where the presence

4:54of the Lord is, there is liberty.

4:58Hallelujah.

4:59Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

5:02>> [laughter]

5:03[gasps]

5:03>> Woo! When the praises goes up, the glory

5:06COMES DOWN.

5:08COME ON, THIS is what we came to feel,

5:10the presence of the Lord, the power of

5:13the Lord. Oh, bless the Lord, oh my

5:16soul, AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME, I WILL

5:19BLESS YOUR HOLY NAME.

5:21From the rising of the sun to the going

5:23down, your name is to be praised.

5:27Hallelujah.

5:28Hallelujah.

5:31What if we ALL JUST STARTED SHOUTING

5:33HALLELUJAH? HALLELUJAH.

5:35HALLELUJAH.

5:37HALLELUJAH.

5:39HALLELUJAH. [screaming]

5:40HOSANNA. HOSANNA.

5:43>> [applause]

5:46>> I'm not I'm not going to take time to

5:48break it all down. You can look it up.

5:50I learned recently that Hosanna, when

5:52you break it down, basically means help

5:55me Lord.

5:57>> [laughter]

5:58>> Help me, Lord.

6:00I think somebody ought to shout some

6:02hal- Hosannas to the Lord [laughter]

6:04tonight.

6:05>> [gasps]

6:05>> Help me, Lord. Hosanna. Hosanna.

6:08Hosanna. Glory and honor and praise to

6:12the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. I give

6:14all myself to you. Hosanna, Lord. I

6:17receive your help. I receive YOUR

6:19STRENGTH.

6:21OH [screaming]

6:22GLORY AND HONOR and power and praise in

6:25the name of Jesus.

6:26Just before we go any further, if you're

6:28having any warfare, if you're having any

6:30struggle, why don't you speak against it

6:32right now? I rebuke weakness out of my

6:35body. I speak against sickness out of my

6:37body. I speak against all the troubles

6:39on my mind, the distractions. I speak

6:42against the fears. I resist the fear in

6:45the name of the Lord Jesus. If you'll

6:47resist whatever spirit seems to be

6:50oppressing you, the Bible said resist

6:52the devil, he will flee. He has to. It's

6:55part of the process. Resist it. I resist

6:58fear. I resist doubt. I resist uh apathy

7:03in the name of the Lord. I I resist

7:05carnality. I resist worldliness. I

7:08resist it in the name of Jesus. I RESIST

7:11YOU AND DRIVE YOU BACK FROM ME AND MY

7:13FAMILY. Every spirit of destruction in

7:16the name of the Lord.

7:18Praise the name. One last time, a great

7:21big hand clap this time, everybody.

7:24Clap your hands under the Lord.

7:27ALL YE PEOPLE.

7:30WOO!

7:30>> [screaming]

7:32>> SOMEBODY SAID A HAND CLAP SOUNDS like

7:34chains breaking.

7:37Chains breaking, snapping.

7:40Coming off your mind, coming off your

7:42spirit.

7:44Coming off your emotions. You're not

7:46bound, you're free.

7:48You're not restricted, you're loosed.

7:51You're not weak, you're strong.

7:55Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

7:59I speak healing. I release miracles. I

8:01speak deliverance. Let it flow into your

8:04mind first, into your emotions, and into

8:07your life.

8:08In the name of Jesus.

8:11May the Lord be setting ambushes against

8:13the adversary even while we're here

8:15praying. Let ambushes be set against the

8:18adversary in the name of the Lord.

8:22Praise God.

8:25Everybody said in Jesus' name.

8:28You may be seated in the presence of the

8:30Lord.

8:31>> [snorts]

8:32>> Praise God. I like powerful, fervent,

8:35loud, excited prayer meetings.

8:38And even when it's, you know, it's not

8:40all in the shout.

8:41But even when it's

8:43the deep meditating moving flow of the

8:45spirit, the rumble of prayer. I mean, we

8:47got plenty of folks here tonight.

8:49The rumble of prayer across the across

8:52the room. And if everybody is praying

8:54out loud,

8:55>> [snorts]

8:55>> as the

8:57minutes go by, there might be the minute

8:59you need to take a take a breath, take a

9:01little rest, but somebody else is

9:03praying. And then when you get your

9:05strength back, you start praying in, and

9:06then they're taking a rest. But the flow

9:08keeps going on as as there's many many

9:10It's the the power of praying together.

9:13And so, I wanted to make a few comments

9:15to follow up on the message from last

9:19night, the uh warrior's hammer. We

9:22talked a lot about intermittent fasting.

9:25I'll to a little more about that. Fast

9:27started today, is that correct?

9:29And the morning prayer, the daily

9:32prayer,

9:33uh there's a few key pointers that I

9:35think are valuable to know and will

9:37help.

9:38Uh in morning prayer, one of the great

9:41motivations for my wife and I for the

9:43last 10 years is we run a prayer call,

9:47mainly her and I assist her. This is

9:49something she founded and it was her

9:50ministry. So, in that situation, she

9:53runs it and I assist and I help her and

9:55support her. Uh but in uh morning

9:58prayer, it's very valuable to have a

10:01connection with other people that you

10:02pray with.

10:04Because there's been many mornings

10:06because of travel or exhaustion or

10:08sickness or whatever that uh the

10:10strength just wasn't there, but knowing

10:12there's going to be other people on the

10:14prayer call, it's kind of that little

10:16extra motivation to get on up and press

10:19on forward and get on the call because,

10:22you know, we all have an accountability

10:23and we need each other. It is a whole

10:26lot easier to pray with a group than by

10:30yourself.

10:31And when you pray with the group, you

10:33get the strength that helps you then

10:35pray by yourself. And so, if I know I

10:39think you have morning prayer here at

10:41the church at 5:00 a.m. I think maybe if

10:44there is a prayer call, you might want

10:46to get on that. If not, maybe one could

10:48be established because when you know, if

10:51you set an agenda that I want to pray

10:53every day even and we have people come

10:55on the call that are only able to be on

10:56the call for 30 minutes cuz they have to

10:58go to work. Some come on later

11:00as they're driving to work, but even if

11:03you're not on the entire time, something

11:05about if you make a commitment that I

11:07want to pray every day and you know

11:09there's a call that other people or

11:11people at the church praying that you

11:13could join with, it provides a

11:15motivation for you to press on through

11:18on the days you're just not, you know,

11:20feeling the motivation yourself.

11:23And uh there's many been many mornings

11:25through the last 10 years that uh just

11:28just didn't think I was just going to be

11:30able to do it. But just got up for the

11:32sake of the call and pressed through it.

11:34Once we got to praying, felt so much

11:36better.

11:38And so that is one secret that I want to

11:40throw out there that will help you. If

11:42you're very motivated to pray by

11:43yourself, praise God, then do it. That

11:45works. That's just as good. I want to

11:47make sure you understand that I am

11:49trying to present to you a a process or

11:52a how-to or a plan, but it's not um

11:56rigid. This is not what I'm saying is

11:59not the only way. It's not the it's not

12:01requirement. I'm just trying to give you

12:03a possibility and you can make

12:05variations to it as needed. The prayer

12:07call that we have now that runs on an

12:11average between two and 240 people every

12:14morning, 200 to 240, started with three

12:17people.

12:19Three on the first one and three for the

12:21first many ones.

12:23And it actually started out of a

12:25um

12:26out of a motivation of evangelizing. We

12:29had met a lady at a hotel down here in

12:32West Palm and was witnessing to her and

12:34talking to her. She had lots of problems

12:36in her life and we were helping her.

12:37Well, then we had to go home. We lived

12:39up in Ocala.

12:40And so to continue to try to help her,

12:42we said, "Well, why don't we, you know,

12:44we're up early in the morning. If you're

12:45up," she said, "Yes." She said I said,

12:46"Well, let's get on call." And my wife

12:48and another sister and her, they got on

12:50the call and began to pray with her to

12:51help her each day. And every morning

12:53they got on the call. And then we talked

12:55a few other people, told them what we

12:57were trying to do and they joined on and

12:58then it was five people and seven and 11

13:00and then it just grew from there. And

13:02that particular lady that we were

13:04witnessing to, she's not even on the

13:06call anymore, but now the call has

13:09hundreds of people and has evolved and

13:10we have a prayer conference and all

13:12kinds of things. So it actually was

13:14birthed out of an evangelistic effort, a

13:17soul-winning effort. There's nothing

13:19more valuable in the vision of a church

13:22that pastor than just basically prayer

13:25and evangelism.

13:27Stay close to God and reach the lost.

13:31Is there anybody here that agrees that's

13:32a good statement?

13:34Yeah.

13:36Let me address this cuz it's kind of in

13:38my spirit. Um

13:42there is a very

13:43strong value in your response to a

13:48spoken word of truth.

13:51If there is a scripture read, a prophecy

13:53given, an inspirational statement, and

13:56it's not just to cheerlead or encourage

13:59the speaker.

14:01Although it does do that.

14:04Uh as a as a preacher, I can tell you I

14:06go to places where they're very

14:07responsive and it's a whole lot easier

14:09to flow in the spirit when the

14:11atmosphere. Let me Let me tell you the

14:13value of saying amen right out loud.

14:17Amen means so be it.

14:21May it be so.

14:23So be it. So when you hear a biblical

14:26truth, especially one that maybe relates

14:29to you, or a prophetic declaration, or a

14:33biblical promise,

14:35it's very valuable for you to say amen

14:38or agree to that.

14:40The [snorts] promises of God are

14:44and

14:45So somewhere you got to say yay or yes.

14:50You agree to it and amen, you proclaim

14:53so be it. Let that be true for me.

14:58And we are Pentecostal people,

15:01which a hallmark of Pentecost,

15:05uh which by the way, Pentecost in its

15:06very most basic form is a prayer

15:08meeting.

15:10And you didn't know that cuz you didn't

15:12say amen, so let me explain it.

15:14Pentecost began the upper room on the

15:17day of Pentecost when the day of

15:18Pentecost was fully come, suddenly there

15:21came a sound from heaven, filled all the

15:24house where they were sitting, there

15:26appeared under them cloven tongues like

15:27as of fire, set on each of them, they

15:29all began to speak with other tongues as

15:32the spirit gave them utterance.

15:34The

15:35experience they had was evidently so

15:38powerful and dramatic that people

15:41thought they were drunk.

15:43So, they weren't just standing there

15:45stoic.

15:47They were behaving in some sort of

15:49manner

15:50that made the people feel that they were

15:52drunk.

15:53Then the Apostle Peter, to give an

15:55explanation, he said, "They're not drunk

15:58as you suppose or in the manner you

16:00think they are. They're not drunk from

16:03drinking wine or alcohol,

16:05but they are indeed drunk."

16:08He didn't say they're not drunk.

16:10He said, "They're not drunk in the

16:11manner you think they're drunk. They

16:13have literally become drunk by the

16:15spirit."

16:17So, maybe a better word, let's move from

16:19drunk to intoxicated. They are

16:21intoxicated by the spirit of God.

16:24Intoxication occurs when you get too

16:27much alcohol in your system than your

16:30system can

16:32contain and maintain, and it affects

16:34your brain. And if you keep drinking too

16:36much, it affects your motor

16:37coordination. Pretty soon you can't walk

16:40right, think right, or talk right.

16:44But when you get spiritual intoxication,

16:47you can walk better, talk better, and

16:51think better.

16:53There is an intoxication that comes from

16:56the spirit of truth. So, the Bible says

16:58out of the abundance, the overflow, the

17:01overindulgence, the too much out of the

17:04overflow of the heart, the mouth

17:07speaketh.

17:08And this is why we enter into speaking

17:10with other tongues. Speaking with other

17:12tongues is a spiritual expression that

17:15you goes beyond what you can

17:17intellectually

17:19think to say.

17:21Now, it was down here in Florida

17:22somewhere many years ago.

17:25Uh you might remember, pastor, way back

17:27in the '90s there was

17:29Is there a Brownsville

17:31or Brownsberg or something?

17:33Okay. Uh where there was some kind of

17:35situation, big revival, something broke

17:38out, and people were getting filled with

17:39the spirit. And then after a little

17:41while, people started barking like dogs

17:42and roaring like lions and meowing like

17:45cats in the church services.

17:48And um

17:49that is out of order, biblically

17:51speaking.

17:52Uh

17:53but what what what the teaching there

17:55should have been, when you feel

17:56overwhelmed

17:58and you don't have words to express

18:02the biblical expression for joy

18:05unspeakable

18:07and full of glory is speaking with

18:09tongues.

18:10So, don't [snorts] meow, speak with

18:12tongues. Don't roar like a lion, speak

18:14with tongues. That is the biblical uh

18:17correct avenue for emotions and

18:21overwhelmed feelings that you can

18:23express in your native language or any

18:26language you may know. Does that make

18:28sense to you?

18:29And so, that's the power of speaking in

18:31tongues. It gives us the ability to pray

18:33in the spirit, not just in our

18:35intellect. And so,

18:38getting [clears throat] back to my idea

18:39about responding to the word, it is so

18:42powerful that you agree with what's

18:44being said over you or into the

18:47atmosphere. Because when you say so be

18:50it, you're saying so be it for me.

18:53And so, the person down the road from

18:55you may be creating a nice atmosphere

18:56saying amen, but their amens only

18:58working for for

19:00Their amen doesn't work for you.

19:03You got to get your amen out there. You

19:05got to connect to it and receive it. And

19:09when people are praying for me, I've

19:11prayed for people all over the country

19:13and around the world, and one of the

19:14things I never understand, somebody

19:16comes up for prayer and maybe they have

19:18something serious wrong with them, maybe

19:20some tumor or cancer or some deadly

19:22disease and I've had them they only have

19:24weeks or months or whatever to live and

19:26and I'm standing there, I need prayer,

19:28pastor, and I get a diagnosis and well,

19:30let's pray. And we get to praying and

19:32they're just standing there.

19:35And I'm over here, you know, praying in

19:36tongues, lathering them up, dumping the

19:38oil, you know, trying to pull down

19:40heaven, and then I suddenly realize I

19:42seem to be more concerned about this

19:43than you are.

19:45>> [snorts]

19:45>> I would never say it to anybody that I

19:47was praying for, but I'm thinking, you

19:48know, I'm not the one in trouble here.

19:51Seem like you ought to care about this

19:53about as much as I do, at least.

19:55You know, seem like I'm wanting your

19:56healing more than you're wanting it.

19:59Uh when are praying for me,

20:01I have adapted a habit

20:04and a process. I want to let them pray.

20:07I want to receive the power of their

20:09prayers. And so I usually at least in

20:11some manner will raise my hands. And if

20:13they're laying hands on me and stuff, I

20:14start praying, Lord, I receive this

20:16prayer. I receive their faith and

20:18whatever they might say, if they say

20:20something good or prophesy over me or

20:21speak healing, I say, Lord, I receive

20:23that healing. I know they love me and

20:25they're praying for me in faith and I

20:26receive this faith. I receive this

20:28prayer. Lord, yes, I receive that. And

20:30if they speak something, then I say what

20:32they just said out loud and I agree with

20:33it. I say, thank you for this prayer,

20:35Lord, let it be. And then I may start

20:37praying. If one of them prays a certain

20:38thing, I may start praying that I don't

20:40just stand there.

20:48Somebody say, well, it's not all in the

20:49shout. True, but it's not all just

20:50sitting there, either.

20:54You got to get your expression involved.

20:55I'll I'll this with you. I didn't plan

20:57on really talking about anything else,

20:58but I'm on a roll. I feel I'm pretty

20:59good.

21:00Um

21:01in the scripture

21:03you remember [snorts] the lady that

21:04comes to Jesus needing a miracle

21:07and he says, "It's not fit or meet or

21:11proper appropriate to take children's

21:14bread and cast to the dogs."

21:17And basically that was a I mean society

21:19today would just absolutely melt down

21:22because it was actually a cultural

21:23reference. "I am not sent but to the

21:25lost sheep of the house of Israel."

21:27Since she wasn't of Israel, she was uh

21:29another culture, he says, "Not your time

21:31yet."

21:32>> [snorts]

21:32>> And your time will come. That's what

21:34Calvary and everything was all about,

21:36but it wasn't there yet. He was sent to

21:38the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

21:39"I am not sent to you. It's not your

21:41time. It's not fit to take children's

21:43bread and cast to the dogs." Instead of

21:44getting offended like we will all would

21:48especially if you were called a dog

21:51running off to somebody else she found a

21:54way within the context of such a

21:57difficult statement to work her way in.

22:01Anytime you're listening to preaching,

22:03you should try to find a way to work

22:04your way in.

22:06Whatever story's being told, whatever

22:07Bible character's being talked about, I

22:09mean, you know, you're looking for a

22:11you're looking for an in somewhere.

22:12>> [laughter]

22:13>> I'm in this story somehow. Something

22:14here relates to me. Something here is

22:16going to be my word. And And you're

22:18looking at A lot of people these days

22:19just looking to be offended. I'm looking

22:21to be uh inspired. I'm looking to be

22:23blessed. I'm Okay, that didn't help me.

22:26That didn't help me. That didn't help

22:27me. Okay, that was a rejection of me.

22:29Okay, THAT DIDN'T LIKE ME. OH!

22:31SHE SAID, "YEAH, LORD." HE SAYS TO her

22:36"I can't take children's bread and give

22:38to you a dog." She said, "Amen."

22:43>> [snorts]

22:44>> And I'm throwing all kinds of good stuff

22:46at y'all and still trying to drag some

22:48amens out of some of you.

22:50"Can't take children's bread and give to

22:51you dogs.

22:53See that? Not one.

22:57"Amen." She said.

23:00"But even the dogs"

23:03She's finding her way in.

23:05"Don't they get the food that falls from

23:08the table? Don't they Can't they get the

23:10crumbs that fall from the master's

23:11table? Can I get a little something

23:15here?"

23:16>> [applause]

23:20>> IT'S SO IMPACTED JESUS

23:24THAT HE STEPPED AROUND DISPENSATIONAL

23:27truth

23:30and says, "For this saying

23:35go thy way."

23:36She got her miracle.

23:39She got a We love on-time miracle. She

23:41got a out-of-time miracle

23:44because she had a on-time attitude.

23:47>> [snorts]

23:49>> The thing that's always been profound to

23:50me about that story

23:52is she came to Jesus in need.

23:56She came for a word. He spoke a word,

24:01but her word was a rejection. Her word

24:03was no.

24:05His word did not produce her miracle.

24:10Her response

24:14to his word

24:16got her miracle.

24:18When she responded like that, he said,

24:20"I ain't letting that go."

24:23"If you're going to respond like that"

24:25He stepped around Oh, he just stepped

24:26back. I know you're not going to

24:27understand this. I know you know you

24:29It's you I'm not going to help her out.

24:32Many times it's very important for you

24:34to understand

24:35it is your response to the word that

24:38determines whether you get the miracle

24:40or not.

24:43>> [applause]

24:45>> I like what's happening here. like this

24:47spontaneous response.

24:49Amen.

24:50It just simply says I connect with that.

24:53When I'm preaching and I see people a

24:55lot of times you'll hear a lot of amens.

24:56You don't have to climb the wall, bite

24:57the ceiling, dive in the baptistery.

24:59That's not what I'm talking about.

25:01It is not that hard to just, you know,

25:02verbalize say amen. That's good. I

25:04receive that. I receive that.

25:06I I'd say that a lot of times when

25:07somebody's up preaching. See, if they're

25:09up singing and somebody just gives an

25:11exhortation in between songs, if it's

25:12good, I say I receive that.

25:15If it's going to be spoken, I'm here to

25:16hear it. I don't know who it was for,

25:18but it's going by me. I'm going to catch

25:20some on the way.

25:22You shouldn't have said it for me to

25:23hear it if you didn't want me to try to

25:25take it and receive it.

25:27Then don't worry, you're not getting

25:28somebody else's blessing.

25:31It'll multiply.

25:34Well, he didn't say it to me. So what?

25:36You heard it.

25:38Lord actually spoke that to me a while

25:40back many years ago because I'm one of

25:42these people that sometimes calls people

25:43out and prophesies to them, speaks word

25:45to them. The problem with that in a big

25:47church, if you get in a church of 500, 4

25:50nearly anything over about 200 this

25:52applies, but you know, sometimes

25:53preachers in churches have 800, 900,

25:551,000 people. And you're calling out one

25:57person, ministering to them, 999 are

25:58standing there watching.

26:00Then you go to the next one. You might

26:01get minister to 30 or 40 people, but

26:04you've left the vast majority of the

26:05people out. And so I was concerned about

26:07that and I was talking to the Lord about

26:08it. How can I be more effective? Of

26:10course, what we do in the big crowds of

26:1210,000 and 50,000, 100,000 is we have to

26:15operate in the word of faith and speak

26:16words of faith to everybody cuz you

26:18can't lay hands and do all that.

26:20But even if you're ministering one by

26:22one, the Lord told me, he said, "Tell my

26:24people

26:26that if their ears hear it,

26:29they have permission to receive it."

26:31>> [snorts]

26:33[applause]

26:35>> What do we have? Almost 8 billion people

26:37on the planet?

26:39And you happen to be there to hear a

26:41word spoken?

26:43So maybe we call this person out here

26:44and standing there prophesying, speaking

26:46all kinds of stuff, and you hear oh,

26:48that related to me. I wish he'd said

26:50that to me. Don't sit there and wish,

26:51reach over there and get some.

26:54It's in the atmosphere. It's a spoken

26:55word. Said, well, that was spoken to

26:57them. Have you never read where they

26:59started handing out the bread, and as

27:01they gave it out, it multiplied?

27:03You're not going to take it from them.

27:04It's going to double portion over to

27:06you.

27:07If if a word is spoken to somebody and

27:10it happens to be what you need, you just

27:12I receive it, Lord. I receive that right

27:14over here. I am going to take that home.

27:15That's my word.

27:17Amen. Receive it. Let it come into your

27:19spirit. Let the overflow get on you. I

27:22mean, a lot of human conditions are very

27:24common to all of us. Things that are

27:26spoken many times could apply to like

27:2820, 30 people in the room. That's just

27:30the one that was close enough maybe for

27:31the preacher to see, or you know, just

27:33happened to be noticeable. And you know,

27:35you were back in a corner somewhere and

27:37he didn't see you. Doesn't mean your

27:38need doesn't matter, or your need's not

27:39the same. If they're getting ministered

27:41to, but it connects to you, draw it in.

27:44So in the parable of the soils, four

27:47kinds of soil, the same sower, the same

27:49seed, four conditions.

27:51The The soil is the heart. Four

27:54conditions that the word falls into. And

27:57I'm just going to tell you, you know, as

27:58an evangelist, I get a very visual

28:00illustration of this all the time,

28:03because a certain message is getting my

28:05heart right now everywhere I'm going.

28:07I'm preaching on I'm preaching on prayer

28:09and fasting, preaching on

28:12you know, leaning is lethal, and the

28:14warrior's hammer, and the warrior's

28:16robe, and the fire finds a sacrifice.

28:18I've got about four or five messages

28:19right now that are in my spirit that I'm

28:21just carrying everywhere I go.

28:23So I'm preaching some of the same

28:24sermons in the same churches. I just

28:26preached what I preached to you last

28:27night. I just preached the night before

28:29over in um

28:31California.

28:33So I get a very visual opportunity to

28:36see the difference.

28:38>> [snorts]

28:38>> I preach a message in one place,

28:41they are falling out,

28:43getting the Holy Ghost,

28:45getting healed,

28:46diving in the baptistery to get

28:47baptized.

28:49You go to the next place, PREACH THE

28:50SAME EXACT WORD,

28:53LORD,

28:53which one is planning on going tonight?

28:57Sitting there doing an impersonation of

28:59Mount Rushmore.

29:01>> [snorts]

29:02>> And I'm thinking, did I backslide since

29:03last night?

29:06It's not the sower,

29:08it's not the seed.

29:11It's the soil.

29:14I've watched choir sing.

29:16Be standing there with They used to have

29:18the preacher sitting on the platform.

29:19Now, I don't know why they throwed us

29:20off.

29:22I like sitting on the platform, not

29:23because I need a premier seat or

29:25anything. I

29:26got over that a long time ago, but I

29:29like to watch a congregation. I like to

29:31see what I'm dealing with.

29:33Most pastors don't want to sit on the

29:34platform because they don't want to see

29:36They know too much. I don't know

29:38anything, so I'm going to look around

29:39and see what kind of situation I'm in

29:41here.

29:42Looking for needs and who the Lord might

29:44deal me with deal with me about it. So,

29:46the choir be singing and I'll be looking

29:48out there and here's people sitting not

29:49more than four or five feet apart from

29:51each other.

29:52One of them lost in the spirit,

29:56praying, worshiping, tears flowing, four

29:59feet away.

30:01Same choir, same everything.

30:04Chewing gum, bored to death.

30:07Soil.

30:09Same song,

30:11same atmosphere.

30:12One being blessed,

30:14the other being persecuted.

30:17>> [laughter]

30:19>> Soil.

30:21Now, what pastors have to do,

30:23and I came up to this understanding many

30:26years ago,

30:27we don't just say that only the good

30:29ground can produce.

30:32The good ground produces automatically

30:34without any effort. It's already good.

30:37But the other three kinds of soil can

30:39produce if you just work the soil.

30:42You might have to have some additives.

30:43You know, when I lived in Virginia, we

30:45had that hard red clay. Couldn't hardly

30:47grow nothing in it. So, we'd have to

30:49we'd have to uh

30:50uh till it up, maybe put some uh peat

30:53moss in it and other additives

30:55[clears throat]

30:55in it to fluff it up cuz it was so dense

30:57water couldn't get in there. Oxygen

30:59couldn't get in. But if you work that

31:00soil, you can make it produce.

31:03So, pastors all the time are working

31:05soil.

31:07They're trying [snorts]

31:08to get your heart and mind into the

31:11condition that you can receive the seed

31:14and that you won't be old hard-hearted

31:17wayside soil. You won't be so encumbered

31:20by worldliness and distractions and the

31:22things of life that it grows up because

31:24you love the Lord and have faith, but

31:26then gets choked out by the cares of

31:28life.

31:29Trying to help you that you're not

31:30wayside, trodden down, stony soil. What

31:33is it or or or you got too much

31:37open doors and the fowls come and snatch

31:39away the seed before it gets a chance to

31:41grow.

31:42He's always working on your soil so that

31:44you can receive.

31:46But you come to the end of that entire

31:48parable

31:50and the the conclusion of the parable,

31:53at least I think it says it this way in

31:54Matthew. May say it in all of them.

31:57Take heed therefore

32:00Anybody know the next verse?

32:02How

32:04You don't know it? Take heed therefore

32:06how

32:09ye

32:11You don't know it?

32:12hear.

32:15So, at the conclusion of a of a

32:17education that there are four kinds of

32:20soil, the same soer, the same seed falls

32:23in four conditions,

32:25it says, "Because of careful, pay

32:28attention to how you hear."

32:31Because not everybody hears at the same

32:33way.

32:36What one person receives as an

32:37inspiration, somebody else gets offended

32:39about.

32:41How could one person be offended and

32:43another person be inspired by the same

32:45word? Soil.

32:47Condition of the heart.

32:49Think I made a statement yesterday,

32:50[snorts] I don't know if you heard it.

32:52I'll say it again. It was spoken to me

32:54by great elder man of God. He says,

32:56"It's a strange day

32:58when the saints are criticizing

33:01and the sinners are complimenting

33:04the same service."

33:11You know, you can't say amen to things

33:13that, you know, kind of dig you up a

33:15little bit, too.

33:17I want to be a complimenter, [laughter]

33:19not a criticizer.

33:20I want to be an amener, amen. I'm not a

33:22resister, I'm a responder, amen.

33:26I want I want everything If I'm going to

33:27take the time to get up and drive over

33:28here, I might as well get it, amen.

33:30I'm in this thing to [laughter] win this

33:32thing. I know I went through a little

33:33season. I've been

33:34living for God, preaching everything

33:3640-something years. I went through a

33:37little season where I guess I was

33:38getting like happens to people getting

33:40church for a long time. We get a little

33:42fat and sassy and

33:44attitudes can get a little bad. We get

33:45all entitled.

33:47And well, um, I'll just tell you it was

33:50it was through it was during COVID that

33:52really brought it to a height. Prior to

33:54COVID,

33:55I was having this little problem.

33:57I've been in I've been in 10,000s of

34:00church services.

34:01And one of the things that started to

34:02get on my nerves was when whoever was in

34:05the pulpit tell everybody, "Let's give

34:07the Lord a great hand clap. Let's clap

34:08our hands to the Lord." And they do that

34:10as they're walking away.

34:12As the new person is walking up, you

34:14know, the hand clap's dying down.

34:17And they say, "Let's all give the Lord a

34:18great Let's ALL GIVE THE LORD A GREAT

34:21I'M IN MY BRAIN SAYING, "We just did

34:22that. Pay attention."

34:28>> [snorts]

34:28>> During COVID, I was preaching at church

34:30out in the Midwest, and everybody's

34:31wearing masks.

34:33And um

34:34>> [snorts]

34:35>> So, I was wearing a mask. I did whatever

34:36they were doing.

34:38And uh I'm on the platform, and I got my

34:39mask on.

34:41And I'm trying to worship the Lord, and

34:43I'm trying to pray and sing, and every

34:44time I take a breath, I was about

34:46sucking that thing into my mouth.

34:49And then I'd say, "Hallelujah." And

34:51about knock it off my face.

34:53And I was really getting a bad attitude.

34:56>> [snorts]

34:57>> And I was like, "God, I can't worship

34:58like this. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

35:00WHAT'S WRONG with this world? Trying to

35:02praise the Lord, got this crazy mask on

35:04my face. I take a breath, about to suck

35:06it down my throat, and I

35:08say something, and it about falls off my

35:09ears and

35:11I am just really, pastor, on the

35:13platform, getting ready to preach,

35:15getting a bad attitude.

35:18And I'm And I've got my hands up. I'm

35:20trying to do the best with it I can.

35:22And this is just the way the Lord deals

35:24with me. I mean, he may deal with you

35:25different, but he knows me and what

35:26works on me. I am just fussing in my

35:29mind. No, I can't worship like this. I

35:30can't do this. We can't have church like

35:32this. And he said, "Look around." I

35:33looked around and said, "They seem to be

35:35doing all right."

35:38I realized everybody else was just

35:39worshiping.

35:41I'm the guy up here with the attitude

35:43problem.

35:44I'm realizing they all We had that

35:46church was like 500 people.

35:48They were all wearing masks, too.

35:49They're all worshiping God and praising

35:50the Lord. I mean, people were getting

35:52blessed. Some folks were even dancing in

35:53the aisles. They're getting blessed, and

35:55I'm up here just can't get blessed cuz I

35:56got a bad attitude because I'm being

35:59inconvenienced.

36:03>> [laughter]

36:04>> Y'all Y'all so worried about political

36:06stuff, you can't even hear a word from

36:07the Lord.

36:09God deliver us.

36:11>> [laughter]

36:12>> It has nothing to do with that. That's

36:13not even what I'm talking about. I'm

36:14talking about having an attitude of

36:16receiving.

36:21An attitude that is willing to let God

36:24soften a heart and bless us in the

36:27spirit.

36:28And your attitude makes all the

36:30difference. You know, my pastor

36:32my pastor taught me as a young preacher

36:35he said, "Your attitude affects your

36:37altitude."

36:40Your attitude will affect how high you

36:43can go in the spirit.

36:45How far you can go, what you receive and

36:48what you miss

36:50is a result of your approach

36:53to God. And you know, that's one reason

36:54we pray the way we do, so that we can

36:57get a better attitude.

36:59So, that What do you say, pastor? We

37:00started this fasting and prayer

37:03to be more

37:04like Jesus.

37:08You know what that is really an

37:10expression of?

37:12Righteousness.

37:14When the Bible says, "Seek ye first the

37:15kingdom of God and his righteousness."

37:18It's basically saying, "Seek his

37:19character.

37:20Seek his nature. Seek to be more like

37:24Jesus.

37:26Seek to have a Christ-like

37:29attitude. Because if you have a

37:31Christ-like attitude, then you can

37:32receive all of him.

37:35The more like him I am, the more of him

37:38I can receive and can flow into my

37:41spirit. For me, the basis of the fasting

37:45and prayer and the 40 days, the basis of

37:49it is seeking his righteousness.

37:56It became the foundation for all that

37:59I'm preaching with the hammer and the

38:02robe and the and and the intermittent

38:05fasting, all of that was to seek his

38:08righteousness.

38:09To be more like Jesus.

38:11Now, since I brought up intermittent

38:12fasting, that reminds me of something

38:13else I wanted to share with you. On the

38:15intermittent fasting, that is also not

38:18rigid.

38:20And presenting 16 hours as a minimum

38:23fasting time, because that helps you go

38:26into ketosis and autophagy, like I

38:28talked about last night.

38:30Uh that's not rigid. If you can only do

38:3212 hours, do 12. If you can do 10, do

38:3410. If you can do six, do six. If you're

38:36going to do a whole three-day fast, do

38:37that. That'll really bless you.

38:39And also, the time frames are not rigid.

38:41So, I prefer to go like from 3:00 in the

38:44evening to like 7:00 the next morning,

38:47cuz I We have a morning prayer call,

38:49then I like to eat breakfast afterwards.

38:51And I like to eat a good, nice, big,

38:53strong breakfast, because that begins my

38:558 hours of eating window, and we don't

38:57usually eat again until dinner time.

39:00So, this is a very workable schedule in

39:02our lives. And oh, here's a little

39:04I don't know if I should call it this, a

39:05little cheat.

39:08Um maybe that's not the right word.

39:09Maybe this this makes it a little

39:10easier.

39:12You realize if you start fasting around

39:133:00, 4:00, or 5:00, you're going to be

39:16sleeping 8 hours.

39:21And it still works.

39:24Because you wake up, you're that many

39:25more hours into the fast, and your body,

39:28your physical body, has still got the

39:31benefits of those 8 hours of fasting,

39:33even though you were sleeping.

39:36And so, you wake up for morning prayer,

39:38and you're into the 14th or 15th hour of

39:41your fast. You're now waking up way deep

39:44into your fasting.

39:45So, it's not anywhere near as hard as it

39:48sounds on the surface.

39:51Amen?

39:52And so, on the intermittent fasting,

39:55it's not rigid. Uh sometimes I start at

39:573:00, that's my preferred, but sometimes

39:59I don't get to eat till 4:00 or 5:00.

40:02And there's been a few times, just

40:03because of schedule, and I live a lot of

40:05my life on other people's schedules. If

40:07we don't get to eat till 7:00, then I

40:08just adjust from the time I eat my last

40:10meal, then I got to go 16 hours after

40:13that.

40:14So, don't don't get caught up in the

40:16rigid mechanics of it. Just find a way

40:19to do it, and if you can do it every

40:21day, that really will help you and bless

40:23you.

40:26Praise the Lord.

40:28And And if you have any uh

40:31I even hate to use the word failure cuz

40:32I don't think that's correct. I think um

40:35a little setback or a moment of

40:36weakness. If you don't make it 16 hours,

40:39don't quit and give up, I'm a failure, I

40:41can't do it. Just try a little harder

40:43the next day and

40:44the whole point is if you'll just get

40:46started, the Lord will help you.

40:48If you'll just try something, if you'll

40:50just demonstrate some desire, then the

40:53Lord will help you with the rest of it.

40:57Strength of the Lord will come.

40:58>> [clears throat]

41:02>> I was

41:03strongly trying to help educate my sons

41:06in some things that were not taught to

41:08me

41:09um about how to handle credit cards and

41:11debt and things of that make nature. I

41:14talked to them about not making minimum

41:16payments, always pay a little extra. I

41:18did a little something recently since

41:19we're trying to get a house mortgage. Um

41:21I asked Chad, uh this is my interest

41:24rate, this is how much I'm borrowing. If

41:25on my very first payment, I gave them

41:27one extra dollar, what would it save me

41:29across the whole loan? $700.

41:32Wow.

41:33Wow.

41:34So, if you can throw a little $50 extra

41:36on your mortgage or something, it's

41:37going to save you lots of interest money

41:39over the course of the whole loan.

41:41And so, I check with my sons to see if

41:43they're doing that. Well, my youngest

41:44son is on the evangelistic field. He

41:45used to tell me, he said, "Dad, I'm just

41:46not just, you know, the honorariums and

41:48the off the offerings and stuff are just

41:50not enough. I'm I'm getting into some

41:52seasons here where things are tight." I

41:54said, "Well, let's just remember you

41:55work for God,

41:57so let's ask him for a raise."

41:59And I asked him, "How much do you feel

42:01like you need? He gave me a number that

42:02was very reasonable. It wasn't some

42:04outlandish greedy thing so he could buy

42:06Lamborghinis and all that. I said,

42:08"That's reasonable, son. That's not I

42:09mean, you know, that's let's just ask

42:11the Lord." And so we asked the Lord to

42:13we prayed and asked the Lord for a raise

42:15of that amount. And for the next several

42:16weeks, with everything he got together,

42:18he exceeded the amount of money that he

42:20was asking God for.

42:22>> [applause]

42:24>> Today,

42:26we we got to talking about a credit card

42:28that he was trying to pay off. I said,

42:30"Let's let's let's do what we can." I

42:32said, "Son, you start putting every

42:33little extra you have on it. Let's see

42:35what we can do." And he ended up getting

42:37a tax refund that he wasn't anywhere

42:40near expecting. And so he said, "Dad, I

42:43think what I'm going to do is since I

42:44wasn't expecting this, I feel like the

42:46Lord's making a way, I'm just going to

42:48take that money and pay that card off."

42:50And today he sent me a screenshot of his

42:52American Express at zero. I said, "Proud

42:55of you, son. Look what the Lord has

42:56done." So he made an effort and then the

42:59Lord empowered his effort.

43:03But I I don't even know how to stress

43:05enough to you the power of this

43:07understanding. That if you will make an

43:09effort, the Lord will multiply your

43:11effort. If you will just demonstrate a

43:13desire, the Lord will help your desire.

43:16He will strengthen you. He will bless

43:18you. He will give you the ability to do

43:21things you don't have the ability to do

43:23by yourself.

43:25He'll give you an idea or give you a

43:26raise or give you a plan. I'm not

43:28talking about spiritual welfare here.

43:30I'm talking about spiritual empowerment.

43:33I'm not talking about just, you know,

43:34handout getting stuff. I'm talking about

43:36God enabling you, maybe giving you a a

43:38plan or an idea, helping you sell

43:40something for more than you thought you

43:41would get or putting some opportunity to

43:43make money in your hand. He will help

43:45you in your finances. He will help you

43:47in your education. He will help you in

43:49all kinds of ways.

43:52>> [cheering and applause]

43:53>> Whoa, I feel the power of the Holy Ghost

43:55in this place tonight.

43:57Feel the anointing of the Lord. Which

43:59really, you know, that's what the

44:00anointing is for.

44:02The anointing is not just to make you

44:04feel good.

44:05The anointing is God's empowerment for

44:08you to do what you could not do without

44:11the anointing.

44:13So, until you're attempting something

44:15beyond your human intellect or your

44:18human ability, you don't need the

44:20anointing.

44:22As a matter of fact, why even ask God to

44:25do what you could very easily do

44:27yourself?

44:29I was praying one day and the Lord gave

44:31me the scripture, "Hitherto have you

44:32asked me nothing."

44:34Ask in you in my name you receive it.

44:36And I'm like, "Well, Lord, all I do is

44:37ask." He said, "Yeah, but you're asking

44:38me to do things you can do."

44:41I was like, "Ooh."

44:43In other words, you got to ask God to

44:44help you with the things that are beyond

44:45you.

44:46You do what you can do, and what you

44:49can't do, you give to God. He don't ask

44:51us to do miracles or do the impossible.

44:53You do what you can and watch God do the

44:56part you can't do,

44:58and enlarge you to be able to do more

45:01than you could do before. I feel the

45:03prophetic flow right there. Let's just

45:05worship the Lord.

45:07Your abilities are going to be enlarged.

45:09Your capacity is going to be enlarged.

45:11Your intellect is going to be enlarged.

45:16You'll be able to do more, and then God

45:18will still be doing the part you can't

45:20do, the part that is beyond you.

45:23>> [snorts]

45:23>> I told you a little negative story about

45:26my thoughts before preaching. Let me

45:28tell you a positive one. Many times when

45:30I'm standing over here preaching before

45:33preaching, I'll be I'll be getting my

45:34heart right, making sure I'm, you know,

45:36thinking right. Lord, I want to bless

45:37your people. I want to help your people.

45:38But, I am always, every single time, I

45:41[clears throat] am conscious of the fact

45:44that what I'm about to do is beyond me.

45:49Amen. we don't come up here and give

45:50speeches.

45:52It's not just academic education.

45:55Trying to move the spirit realm and

45:56negotiate with flesh and connect people

45:59to the flow of God. Here's what God

46:01wants to do. Here's where they are. We

46:03got to bring resistant flesh to a God so

46:07that they can receive. We got to make

46:09resistant flesh receive. And so

46:11repentance does that and worship does

46:13that. And we're trying not I need a

46:14miracle. I can't I don't have the power

46:16to do all that stuff.

46:19I can tell you a testimony. I've seen

46:21every miracle in the book of the Acts of

46:22the Apostles.

46:24But I haven't done any of them miracles.

46:26I've seen them.

46:27Maybe prayed the prayer.

46:29But it's God does the miracles.

46:32I've never I can't I don't have the

46:33power to perform a miracle. One time

46:36somebody uh I tell a story about seeing

46:38eight blinded eyes open one single

46:39service in Pakistan.

46:41And they said, "Brother Glynn, this how

46:42you preach about blind eyes being open,

46:44you're wearing glasses."

46:46I said, "I think you missed the point."

46:49I'm not doing the miracles.

46:52Isn't it just like God? This is

46:55I hope you find this comical. I am

46:56legally blind in my right eye. Now I can

46:58see enough to get out of here, but I

46:59couldn't read anything. I'm legally

47:01blind and I'm terribly nearsighted in

47:03this one. So I literally am blind in one

47:06eye and can't see out the other.

47:10And I have seen somewhere in the area of

47:11about 14 people in my lifetime through

47:13prayer receive their sight and be healed

47:15of blinded eyes.

47:17Wouldn't it just like God?

47:20He's a half blind preacher and his gift

47:22of faith, amen. God's empowerment to

47:23heal blind people. It's nobody should be

47:25wondering who did the miracle.

47:27I mean, I can't see myself.

47:31God is good. Well, I don't know. Am I

47:33rambling or teaching? I'm not sure which

47:35one I'm doing. I'm trying to be led of

47:37the Holy Ghost here tonight. Amen. And

47:39so we're we're we're we're we're praying

47:42every day. We're trying to fast every

47:44day. Now I talked to pastor today about

47:46Oh, is what I want to talk about.

47:48This is what I came up here to talk

47:49about.

47:49>> [laughter]

47:50>> I talked to pastor today at the end of

47:52May of Miracles.

47:54At the end of May of Miracles, which

47:55will end the end of May, whatever the

47:57last day is that there's service, I

47:59don't know. Somewhere around the 30th,

48:0031st.

48:02Uh we begin on June 1st with 40 days of

48:06fasting and prayer and devotion. It'll

48:09be our third 40-day journey.

48:12We're going to be using the Commanding

48:13the Morning, which I'll be preaching to

48:14you Wednesday night. Commanding the

48:16Morning as a theme. We have a new

48:19e-guide available for that that's on my

48:21website. And there is a code, if you

48:23want to write it down, the code is

48:25fasting.

48:27F A S T I N G, fasting. If you put that

48:31code in, you'll you can buy one and get

48:33a second one free. I recommend the

48:35Commanding the Morning and the

48:36Intermittent Fasting. But you can buy

48:38the one and put put them both in the

48:40cart, but you'll get the second one

48:42free. You only pay for one.

48:44And so, there's a morning guide. And if

48:46you want to be a part of that. Now, I

48:48say this everywhere I go and I mean it

48:49as sincerely as I can tell you. If you

48:52cannot afford it, you just simply do not

48:55have the funds. Just not there. We're

48:57going to give it I don't know if we

48:59decided who, probably Brother Volland.

49:01Uh I'm going to make sure Brother

49:02Volland has it. And you tell Brother

49:04Volland or pastor, whoever, that you

49:06need that e-guide. You just don't have

49:08the money. And they'll just send they'll

49:10send it to you. They'll just give it to

49:12you cuz I don't

49:12I use this to raise money for missions.

49:16But if you can't afford it, I'd rather

49:18you be fasting and praying than not

49:19fasting praying cuz you just didn't have

49:20the money to buy the e-guide.

49:22Uh so, you don't have to have it, but

49:24it's very helpful. So, if you can't

49:25afford it, don't worry about it. We'll

49:27get it to you and make sure you have it.

49:28Make sure you have both of them if you

49:29want both of them. But they'll be there

49:31and they'll be available for you.

49:32Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to end

49:34May of Miracles and then launch into 40

49:36days of a warrior's hammer, the fasting,

49:40the prayer, the morning devotion. Who

49:42knows where you're going to be somewhere

49:44in mid-July, amen? Independence Day,

49:47that's where we'll be. Hallelujah,

49:48you'll be free and powerful, anointed in

49:50the Holy Ghost.

49:52>> [snorts]

49:55>> Let me do this. I kind of this has

49:56crossed my mind two or three times and

49:58so and of course I'm submitted to

50:00pastor. If pastor feels he wants to

50:02change direction here at any minute. Um

50:04We have We have leaders here. Those of

50:06you that are on the ministry staff,

50:07ministry leaders here in the church.

50:09You're a leader and you know you're a

50:10leader, can I see some hands?

50:12Okay, some half a dozen over here there

50:15and a few over here. Um let me start

50:17with you.

50:18If

50:19if you have a question or need a

50:22clarification

50:24or would like me to elaborate a little

50:26further on any of these topics or

50:29something we've talked about, um any of

50:31the leadership first, you just

50:34feel free. Maybe we'll put pastor on the

50:37spot and see if he can pick up a

50:38question or a

50:41subject or an area that he might like me

50:44to address or talk about and any of the

50:46other leaders that have a question, I'll

50:47just stand and take a few questions and

50:49it might spark me to think of something

50:51that, you know, I need to say because I

50:52don't know if you've noticed, but I

50:53never opened up my iPad. I didn't get I

50:56did have a thought that I was going to

50:58bring from there, but never got to it.

51:00So, we'll end with this. Pastor, would

51:02you like to start with a question or

51:03something?

51:05Okay.

51:11>> [snorts]

51:15>> Certainly.

51:17>> [snorts]

51:18>> Excellent question. So, you're new to

51:20prayer, how do you pray? Because here's

51:21what here's what we don't talk about.

51:23Everybody wants to pray, but you get to

51:24pray and it doesn't take long you run

51:26out of words.

51:27Okay, I've said all that, now what do I

51:28say? Um I like to begin my prayers with

51:32in two areas.

51:34Um and sometimes I I do them back and

51:37forth. I start with one then go to the

51:38other. I don't have an order, but

51:39there's two primary areas that I usually

51:41start, one or two areas. Either in

51:43repentance, Lord, cleanse my heart,

51:45cleanse my mind. I've been out here

51:47dealing with this, dealing with that.

51:48You have interactions with worldly

51:50people and situations. Get all that out

51:52of my spirit. I spend a little time sort

51:54of kind of getting my heart soft and my

51:56mind clear. Maybe that's repentance. And

52:00repenting and getting if I said, you

52:01know, got, you know, sideways with

52:03somebody or said something I shouldn't

52:05have said. And any of y'all that are

52:06married, I mean, you know, we have

52:07tendency to do that pretty quick

52:09sometimes in a marriage relationships.

52:10Lord, sorry, shouldn't have said that.

52:11I'll talk to her when I get home. And

52:13um, so get get that right. So repentance

52:16is a good place to start. That's one

52:18area. Another thing I like to start with

52:20is I like to start with the Lordship of

52:22Jesus Christ.

52:24Proclaiming him Lord. I declare you are

52:26Lord. And when you start declaring him

52:29Lord and coming under his Lordship,

52:31there's lots of areas you can talk about

52:33there. You can talk about the um, Lord,

52:36I proclaim you Lord over my thoughts. I

52:38proclaim you Lord over my emotions. I

52:41proclaim you Lord over my finances. You

52:43are Lord over my marriage. You are Lord

52:45over our family. You are Lord over uh,

52:48you're Lord over everything that's ever

52:50happened to me that was unjust and

52:51unfair and unkind. I give it to you. I

52:54come under your Lordship. You are Lord

52:56over my house and over my possessions,

52:59over my vehicles. There's a lot of

53:01places you can go proclaiming and

53:03declaring his Lordship. And you you you

53:06allow your mind to just get creative and

53:08you start thinking, you know, you're

53:09Lord over this and Lord over and then

53:10then Lord over my neighborhood and Lord

53:13over this wicked place in which I live

53:15and you're you're Lord over this whole

53:17city and you're Lord over my state and

53:19you're Lord over our nation and you're

53:21Lord over all the earth and you just you

53:23just proclaim and declare his Lordship.

53:27Which basically you're saying by

53:29Lordship, I come under your governing

53:32power.

53:34I am in this world, but not of this

53:37world. That was a part of my early

53:38prayer tonight. I don't know why that

53:39just got in my spirit. I'm a pilgrim

53:41here Lord.

53:43And I I said, "I want the spirit world

53:44to know that I am a pilgrim. I am just

53:47passing through here.

53:48This world is not my home. I'm going to

53:51a better place. Streets of gold." Didn't

53:53play pray about all that? Streets of

53:55gold, city where the lamb is the light,

53:57gates of pearl, there'll be no more

53:58sorrow, no sickness, no

54:00That's what I'm This world's not my

54:01home.

54:02>> [snorts]

54:03>> I'm coming under his government. Well,

54:04if I'm under his government, I get all

54:06the blessings of his government.

54:09And guess what? If I'm under his

54:10government, I'm under his economy.

54:13I'd rather participate in God's economy

54:16than any economy in this world.

54:19I'm applying his economic principles.

54:21I'm receiving his blessings. I'm coming

54:23under his Lordship. So So, there's a

54:25difference between being filled with the

54:27spirit and being governed or led by the

54:30spirit. So, you come under his

54:32governing. Um I have a little It's I

54:35don't think it's I know it's on Amazon,

54:37I think, but I don't think it's on my

54:39website right now. I don't know. I'd

54:40have to look. I have a little guide I

54:42wrote years ago called 24/7.

54:4524/7 prayer.

54:47And what that is is it's a it's a little

54:49method to help you learn to pray 24

54:52minutes every day, 7 days a week. That's

54:55what the 24/7 is. 24 minutes, 7 days a

54:58week. The 24 minutes is divided into

55:01three 8-minute categories each day.

55:04And the strategy behind it was that I

55:07present three different categories each

55:09day. So, by the time you get to the end

55:10of the week, you've been praying at

55:12least 8 minutes in a lot of different

55:14categories, a lot of different ways.

55:16And so, this is a little bit of a

55:18training guide. It gives you some

55:20scriptures. It gives you some prayers,

55:21some things to say. And you you use

55:24that. And I think the e-guide, if I

55:25remember, I think it takes you through

55:2730 days Uh uh of praying those uh

55:308-minute segments, three different

55:33categories each day. And the idea is

55:35that this is to stretch you and expand

55:37you, and then you can forget the e-guide

55:39and then just be led by the spirit

55:40because now that you've prayed in those

55:42areas, they're available to you to just

55:44flow fluidly however you would feel to

55:46pray.

55:47And what happens sometimes, one of them

55:48will come to my mind and I might be

55:49praying there for 30 minutes and you

55:51don't not even get to one of the others.

55:53So, any kind of a structured We used to

55:56have the prayer clock. Anything that ex-

55:58expands your idea of different things to

56:02pray about.

56:04I always mention all my family and I

56:06mention them every day.

56:07Tell you something that's changed in my

56:09prayer life since I started seeking

56:10righteousness is instead of asking, I

56:14actually start speaking.

56:17Oh God, I'm asking you, please, put a

56:20hedge around my children. It's not a bad

56:23prayer. It's not a negative prayer. I'm

56:26not Understand when I want to trying to

56:27elevate one thing doesn't mean I'm

56:29trying to criticize something else. That

56:31has its place and if you're sincere and

56:33that's where you know to pray, I believe

56:34God will hear that prayer and and answer

56:36prayers like that.

56:37But I'm just telling you I think there's

56:39a stronger way of praying that expresses

56:41more faith. Instead of oh God, I'm

56:43asking you for a hedge, in the name of

56:45Jesus, I speak a hedge around my

56:47children. I release a hedge. I I I

56:49release angels to go around them and

56:51protect them. Protect them in their

56:53schools. Protect them on the roads.

56:55Protect them out in the marketplace.

56:57Lord, just put a hedge around them. I I

56:58plead the blood. I speak the covering of

57:00angels. That the angels of the Lord who

57:02encamp round about them that fear him. I

57:04start speaking biblical truths into

57:07place.

57:09And so, that's a good way. I I went way

57:11long on that, but that was pastor's

57:12question.

57:13>> [laughter]

57:14>> Uh any other leaders you want to just

57:15ask something? We're about out of time

57:17here.

57:22Yes, brother, way back there. Oh,

57:23brother Boland. Sorry, I can't see back

57:25there too good.

57:33Yes, so so it's 16 hours of fasting that

57:35gives you 8 hours as a eating window.

57:42Sure.

57:45Oh, yeah, that's a excellent question.

57:47I'm glad you brought that up. Um so, for

57:4916 hours you're eating is nothing.

57:54>> [laughter]

57:56>> Y'all are something else, let me tell

57:58you.

57:59>> [snorts]

58:00>> Suffocating silence.

58:05Amen.

58:08Th- This this pastor tell you you can

58:11give me an amen if what I tell you right

58:13now is not the truth.

58:15And the the brother that brought me to

58:16church tonight, same thing.

58:19We're talking about going out to eat

58:20last night. Now, he talked me into it.

58:23But when he first asked me, I said to

58:25him, "I think I'd be better off to go to

58:28bed hungry."

58:30Is that not what I told you?

58:33And I meant that.

58:35Because I've gone to bed full and I've

58:38gone to bed hungry

58:40and I seem to do better hungry.

58:45>> [applause]

58:46>> It will shock you how much this fasting

58:50It takes a little while to get into it,

58:52okay? Trust me. First four or five days

58:54I struggled, seven days. I mean, I had

58:56to get You got to get adjusted to it.

58:58You got to get a new flow going. You got

59:00to get in there and get it going. And

59:02And so, I made a big mistake, brother

59:04Boland, in my first 40-day intermittent

59:07fasting in my eating window.

59:09Uh uh it was our eating window and I

59:11starving to death.

59:13So, I made myself My wife and I we made

59:15these big old steaks

59:17and I cooked them in um some uh bison

59:20tallow cuz those of you that know about

59:21our products and stuff, we're all into

59:23bison tallow. And we cooked them in

59:25bison tallow and I sat down and ate that

59:27giant steak and nearly just killed

59:30myself.

59:31>> [snorts]

59:33>> So, it was my first little understanding

59:35that even in my eating window, the 8

59:37hours I'm eating, I might want to

59:39exercise a little restraint.

59:44And the longer you go, the more

59:46restraint you might want to exercise.

59:49And so, there's no food that is off the

59:52table during your 8 hours. However,

59:57you get your sugar imbalance and get

59:59everything down, then I told you I think

60:01I told you a story about I was in a

60:03Delta club and I drank a glass of orange

60:05juice cuz I had I was I'd done my 16

60:07hours, it was morning, I was out flying,

60:08it was like 9:00 or 10:00 in the

60:09morning, I'd already had my breakfast. I

60:11ate that orange juice, nearly went to

60:13coma or drank that orange juice.

60:15That sugar spiked I I didn't even think

60:17about how much sugar was in orange

60:18juice.

60:19And it spiked me up and then I when my

60:22uh insulin released to deal with all

60:23that, I went it was by the time I got on

60:25the airplane, I was like

60:28So, again, I realized so, what I do now,

60:30if I want some of that stuff, is I'll do

60:31about a half a glass or 3/4 of a glass

60:33of water and then add a little orange

60:34juice or apple juice or whatever in cuz

60:36I cannot now I cannot intake that much

60:39sugar all at once. I just can't do it.

60:40It'll make me sick.

60:42So, you do have to balance. So, So, what

60:44we do in our eating window this far into

60:47it and it took these many this these

60:49many days to get to this place, is we

60:51eat a lot of salads and you do try to

60:53get some fat I eat some avocado. If I

60:55eat bacon in the morning, I get the real

60:56fatty kind. If you eat a little bit of

60:58meat, get some fat on because you're now

61:00trying to give your body fat fuel

61:02instead of sugar carb starch fuel. But,

61:04you know, your body does need some

61:05sugar.

61:06And your body needs starch and calories

61:08and all that stuff. So, get a little

61:09here and there, just don't overdo it. If

61:10you eat a little bit of dessert, have a

61:12little bit. Just don't eat a bunch.

61:14So, you do have to

61:17maintain some restraint during the

61:19eating window.

61:20Next question.

61:22If there is any more.

61:24We'll give it at least 4 or 5 more

61:25minutes here.

61:27You know, I can't see out there good, so

61:28you might have to yell out. Yeah, oh,

61:30all the questions are over here.

61:32Hallelujah. I can

61:33Yes, my brother.

61:57>> [snorts]

62:03>> Well, so his question is

62:05you know, a lot of times if you go on a

62:06long fast or whatever, you can just take

62:08off work or just come, you know, stay at

62:09the church and pray all the time. How do

62:11you do the fasting with your with your

62:13heavy workloads and your schedule and

62:15everything? To me, that's one of the

62:18geniuses of the intermittent fasting.

62:20You know, how am I going to fast for

62:21weeks at a time? Well, you're eating 8

62:23hours of the day. It's not like you're

62:25not eating at all.

62:26I mean, you're not eating for 16 hours.

62:29And most of that's while you're

62:30sleeping. So, when I was doing all the

62:32trips last year and I had I had I mean,

62:34one of the trips took me 36 hours to

62:36just leave my house and get to where I

62:38was going.

62:39So, I had to determine, how am I going

62:40to fast on this? Time zones are

62:42changing. I won't even know what day it

62:43is or what time it is. So, I decided uh

62:46the on those long flights, the airlines

62:49will usually serve you one meal if it's

62:51dinner or one meal if it's breakfast. If

62:52it's a real long flight, like a like a

62:5414-hour flight, you might get a dinner

62:56and a breakfast. I said, I'm going to

62:58eat whatever meals they give me on the

62:59plane, I'm just not eating anything in

63:00between.

63:01Cuz I don't really know how to gauge all

63:03this and keep track of all the time and

63:05the time I watch, time on my watch is

63:07changing, everything's changing.

63:08So, I think one of the blessings of

63:11intermittent fasting is every day you

63:13are getting enough food and if you work

63:15a a job that's physically demanding,

63:17then when you're in your 8-hour eating

63:19window, make sure you eat properly to

63:21give yourself the you know, the proteins

63:23and you know, there's so many resources

63:24now to teach you how to get what you

63:26need for your intake and I I think this

63:28makes it a lot easier than just the

63:31straight 3 days, 5 days, 10 days and I'm

63:33not opposed to that either. Remember,

63:34I'm not diminishing one, I'm trying to

63:36elevate something else. Um

63:39I think it makes it easier to be able to

63:40do that. It's my question. I I or my

63:43answer. I've just I've done it I've done

63:45I did 42,000 miles in 60 days, seven

63:49overseas trips, preaching night after

63:51night after night while I was on this

63:53fast and actually felt like I had more

63:55strength doing it than when I was

63:58eating.

64:00That was my experience.

64:02>> [applause]

64:04>> Leaders, any leaders have a question,

64:05comment?

64:07Cheers or jeers? You want to criticize

64:09me? Rebuke me?

64:10I wouldn't recommend that.

64:13>> [snorts]

64:13>> But

64:14I saw a bunch of hands over here, so

64:16were you all just getting my attention

64:18for him?

64:20>> [laughter]

64:20>> So, we had 10 hands raised for one guy

64:22to ask a question?

64:24You think I can let that slide?

64:27Anybody else? I'm going to start over

64:28here and walk across. Nobody over here?

64:32Anybody in this section?

64:35Okay, I see a hand over there. Are Are

64:37we doing okay? I know this probably a

64:38little different, just what I felt to

64:39do.

64:40We'll do this a minute or two here.

64:42I I I

64:44I don't Let me say this, brother, before

64:46you ask your question, you stay

64:47standing. I don't

64:49If you've never had to hold a microphone

64:52and speak to people, you may understand

64:53this.

64:55There are many times I go home and

64:56rethink and say, "Oh, I could have said

64:58that better."

64:59There would have been a better way I

65:00could have expressed that. In almost

65:02everything I'm saying tonight, I'm

65:03saying

65:04off the cuff. It's not pre-thought. So,

65:07I don't claim that I am saying

65:09everything maybe the best way

65:12or making everything perfectly clear.

65:14But, I do want us to tell you with all

65:16of my heart, I'm trying to help you.

65:19So, if I've said it wrong, please

65:20forgive me. But, I am genuinely trying

65:23to trying to help you.

65:26My brother,

65:30That's one way, yes.

65:34Yes.

65:36>> [snorts]

65:38>> So, he's he's asking about conversation

65:41with God. And so, conversation with God

65:43is I guess in one sense, you could say

65:46that's what prayer is, but sometimes

65:48prayer is rebuking the devil.

65:50And sometimes prayer is spiritual

65:51warfare. And sometimes prayer is just

65:53receiving in or soaking in things that

65:55are available in the spirit world.

65:57You're speaking into the spirit realm,

65:58which is God's spirit, and drawing

66:00things out. Things that he's already

66:02spoken, things that he's already said.

66:05You know, you you can have a

66:08I'm going to use the word conversation

66:09because I can't think of a better word

66:10right now. You can have a conversation

66:12with God simply by

66:15the scripture.

66:17Look at what he's already said.

66:20Look at what how many things are already

66:21written.

66:22>> [clears throat]

66:22>> And many times I'll get to praying and

66:24I'll be praying about something and a

66:25verse will come to mind.

66:27Now, I didn't hear God's voice, but I

66:28remembered what the Bible said, which is

66:30God's voice. It's like God spoke to me

66:32through that scripture. And then I go in

66:35the other area and then I get another

66:36verse. And basically, I never heard

66:38God's voice, but I had a conversation of

66:40sorts in the scripture.

66:42>> [snorts]

66:43>> I like King James English.

66:46Now, I'm not claiming, you know,

66:49Paul did it or anything like that.

66:51The reason I like King James English is

66:54because nobody else speaks King James

66:56English.

66:58The reason most people don't like we

66:59don't talk that way today. I know so I

67:00like it.

67:02Cuz it makes it so easy for me to

67:03memorize and identify

67:06that's God's language. Now that's God's

67:08language to me, not God's language in

67:11general. I don't think God ever spoke

67:12that way. I don't think Jesus spoke that

67:14way. He spoke Amharic probably had

67:16nothing to do with English

67:19like that. But it was what I was raised

67:21in and so it's very familiar to me. So

67:24for me that works for me. I wouldn't put

67:26that on anybody else certainly in no

67:27other culture because that would be

67:28absurd. So I like the case. So a lot of

67:30times when God speaks to me in my mind,

67:32scriptures will come. They'll come in

67:34the King James English. And sometimes

67:35God speaks to me in my mind in King

67:36James English. Not every time, but many

67:38times he does. Simply because that's the

67:40way my brain

67:42was trained to hear and know the voice

67:44of God. It's not a requirement, but it

67:46works for me.

67:48One thing I will tell you is if you can

67:50identify any time in your life that God

67:55spoke to you and you knew he spoke to

67:58you.

67:59Try to think about that, rehearse that,

68:02learn as much as you can because it is

68:05highly likely that he will speak that

68:07way to you again over and over and over

68:09and over again.

68:10However he speaks to you, let that

68:13become your language between you and

68:15God.

68:16God may speak to me different than he

68:18speaks to you. You learn to hear God's

68:21voice. You learn to hear God's voice

68:24through the man of God, through the word

68:26of God, and through the spirit of God.

68:30And so you put the pieces together and

68:31you learn this is how God speaks to me.

68:33And usually the way God speaks to me

68:37and I know it's him

68:40is my brain works through a process

68:44where I'm thinking through and this

68:46leads to that leads to that leads to

68:47that and it's sort of like a

68:50I I want to say a mathematical formula,

68:51but you know, you know, 2 + 2 = 4, so

68:54one thought goes to the next thought,

68:55and then those two thoughts produce the

68:57next thought, and there's sort of a

68:58progression of thoughts that leads you

69:00through a idea.

69:02If I'm thinking about something that

69:04way, and my brain is thinking it

69:05through, and I'm having running it

69:06through my brain, and then here comes a

69:08thought like um

69:10>> [snorts]

69:10>> somebody merging into traffic.

69:13Which by the way

69:16that's a yield sign out there.

69:19Which means the people already on the

69:21highway that are doing 70 mile an hour

69:23are supposed to just keep going.

69:25And you're supposed to look for a place

69:28to merge in.

69:29You are not supposed to barrel onto the

69:31highway expecting everybody to get out

69:33of your way.

69:35I'd love I'd like to see a national

69:36campaign on this.

69:39If they get over in the other lane, that

69:42is a courtesy.

69:44Not a requirement.

69:47Boy, y'all can't even say amen to that.

69:49>> [snorts]

69:49>> Now I know who's driving me crazy out

69:51there.

69:52Get out of my way, here I come.

69:58But it is the way it happens so often.

70:00If I'm if I'm thinking or praying or

70:02doing whatever, and here comes a thought

70:04outside of my train of thought, and it

70:06comes in from out here and comes into

70:08the traffic of my thoughts, I almost

70:10automatically now after so many years

70:12know, okay, this is a God thought. This

70:13This didn't come in the natural thought

70:15processes of my mind moving from point

70:17to point. This came in out of there, and

70:19it comes in and merges into my thoughts,

70:21and I go, oh, that's a God thought.

70:24So when it comes out of context or

70:26outside of the equation, it's not you

70:27made a deduction, you didn't come to a

70:29conclusion. You're You're praying,

70:31you're thinking about something, and in

70:32comes this other thought. That's many

70:34times It's like a still small voice.

70:36Now, I've had God thunder in my spirit,

70:37but usually it's like a still small

70:39voice.

70:41>> [snorts]

70:41>> Pastor may want to come to the last

70:43question before we close up. I was about

70:45halfway over here.

70:47I don't know how long I'm supposed to

70:48go. I got no place to go. I don't leave

70:50here till Thursday morning.

70:52But, probably time.

70:55Midnight? Yeah.

70:56People die in the Bible when they went

70:57to midnight.

70:59Yes, my brother.

71:09Oh, excellent question. I've had a lot

71:11of conversations about this. So, he's

71:12asking about the use of AI.

71:15We want to be spirit-led,

71:18but how do you use AI and maybe get the

71:20advantage out of it without falling into

71:22the traps of it. So, Pastor, maybe I'll

71:25make a few comments on this and then if

71:26you feel like you want to come.

71:28I use AI for research.

71:32I have a personal conviction for myself

71:34when it comes to preaching. I feel like

71:36I need to get the thought from God.

71:39What God wants me to say.

71:42I don't go to chat and say, "Give me an

71:44idea to preach tonight."

71:46Or give me a sermon on this or that. I

71:49pray and I say, "God, what do you want

71:51me to speak to your people?" When I get

71:54the essence of the thought,

71:56the first thoughts, I I get down my

71:59basis. Okay, I feel like I need to

72:01preach about this. I need to maybe bring

72:03in this Bible verse and maybe this story

72:06from the Bible. This is kind of the

72:08essence of what God has given me.

72:10>> [snorts]

72:10>> Then I do with AI what I've been doing

72:13for years with the sources and

72:15commentaries and 7,700 illustrations. I

72:19think I saw it on your

72:21I would get my thought then I'd go read

72:237,700 illustrations and look for a new

72:26unique story that would help me make

72:28that thought memorable to the people.

72:30I used to write my messages by hand or

72:33even type them on a computer. Then I

72:35would get a thesaurus to go through and

72:36make some of my little lackluster words

72:39a little more colorful so I could

72:41express it better. That's how I use AI.

72:44I will go to AI and I will say I'm

72:46speaking on this subject. This is my

72:49uh basis of my thought. I'm using the

72:51following um

72:53Bible stories and verses.

72:55Uh could you present any other Bible

72:57stories that might illustrate this same

72:59exact thought? Or could you do this? Or

73:01could you tell me that? I use it for

73:03research, not for the origination of

73:06thought.

73:07>> [snorts]

73:07>> One of the things go ahead.

73:10It's good to agree with that.

73:12Now,

73:13I think I think it's wise for us to have

73:15a lot of caution about all this stuff

73:18because I mean

73:20ultimately eventually

73:22what we're seeing is the beginning of

73:23what's going to be the Antichrist

73:25system.

73:26There's no question about it. But before

73:28you condemn us for going to chat GPT and

73:30getting a little help with our

73:32presentations

73:34you might want to look on the back of

73:35your iPhone.

73:38There's a little apple with a bite out

73:39of it.

73:42Hello.

73:45I mean, what are the odds

73:47>> [snorts]

73:48>> that we're going to carry in our hand

73:50a tool that can access basically the

73:54knowledge of the planet

73:56and it's a fruit

73:58with a bite.

74:00Tree of knowledge

74:03of good and evil.

74:04We're holding it right here in our hand.

74:07>> [applause]

74:07>> But it is the knowledge of good

74:11and evil.

74:13So, use it for good, not for evil.

74:16There's plenty of evil right here.

74:18There's more evil right here than in

74:20your television set.

74:22>> [applause]

74:24>> One thing you want to know about AI

74:27chat and all that stuff and Grok and I

74:29don't know some of the others.

74:30Um

74:32they are not It is not a source of

74:35absolute truth.

74:37It's a source of reflective truth.

74:40And what that means is I chat knows I've

74:43told chat I'm a oneness United

74:45Pentecostal Church preacher hold a

74:46license with United Pentecostal Church

74:47International. Um it goes and somehow it

74:50knows my websites and everything and you

74:52know it knows I operate in gifts of

74:53spirit and have a ministry of faith and

74:55prophesying. I believe Acts 2:38 and

74:57oneness of God. So when I ask it a

74:59question, it answers me within the

75:01context of my experience.

75:05It'll It'll answer me in a oneness

75:07concept. It'll answer me in a If I want

75:10an opposing view, I got to tell it.

75:13I want you to give me a hostile view. I

75:15want you to I want you to oppose this

75:17thought. Give me the other argument.

75:19Otherwise, it just tells me everything

75:21that goes along with what I'm asking it.

75:23It's the danger people try to use it for

75:25counseling.

75:27It's just going to tell you what you

75:28want to hear.

75:30It's not absolute truth. You don't go to

75:32that thing to find out truth. You go to

75:34that thing to get some data, to get some

75:36information, to get some ideas, and then

75:38you let truth come from the spirit of

75:40truth.

75:42Cuz that thing would just tell you what

75:43you If you told it other parameters,

75:44it'd give you a different answer.

75:47>> [applause]

75:47>> I hope that

75:49answered.

75:51Okay.

75:54You don't have to stand. You're welcome

75:55to sit and speak.

75:56Whatever is comfortable. Some years ago

75:58[snorts] with the 3 days of fasting and

76:00prayer

76:03>> [snorts]

76:04>> I was talking to the Lord and I said,

76:05"What are you going to say to me?"

76:08And he said, "Go to New Zealand."

76:10Okay.

76:11Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

76:13I wanted to argue.

76:15Okay. I repented and he laughed. I don't

76:17know anybody in New Zealand.

76:19I know people in Central America, South

76:21America.

76:23Well, anyway, I sold a bunch of things

76:27including a

76:29gun that I cried when I got rid of it.

76:33After the day

76:36>> I got on a plane, flew to Los Angeles,

76:39flew to Auckland, New Zealand.

76:4223 hours I've been on flying, you know

76:45that.

76:47And Joseph Howard I communicated online.

76:52Met me at the airport.

76:54We had coffee.

76:56And he said, "I want you to go down to

76:58Gisborne."

77:00I've been traveling for 23 hours. I want

77:03to sleep and eat.

77:06Sometimes on overseas travel you get

77:07caught between the two. Should I eat or

77:09sleep? I need both desperately.

77:13He put me in a car.

77:16And the driver

77:18his head was harder than that concrete

77:20out there.

77:23And he wouldn't take my direction. We

77:25got to Rotorua, he took the wrong road.

77:27I said, "Brother, we're on the wrong

77:29road."

77:32He said, "It goes there."

77:34We went back to the mountains, got lost.

77:37It turned from gravel to dirt.

77:41Come down the hill, I said, "We're out

77:43of gas."

77:45He said, "We had a full tank this

77:46morning."

77:48Pulled into a village.

77:50We're lost.

77:51And we're out of gas. And there's five

77:52houses.

77:56I He sat in the car.

77:59I went to the first house and they said,

78:01"Get out. We don't have any petrol."

78:04You know the Maori people, they're big

78:05and have a lot of hair.

78:08And the next house nobody was home.

78:12The next house the man said,

78:14"The guy next door

78:16has a generator and he bought petrol."

78:18So I told the driver, I said,

78:21"Go buy the petrol. I don't care how

78:23much it costs. Just buy it."

78:26And uh

78:27while he's going to do that

78:30I'm standing there and a man came out of

78:32the last house

78:34and he looked at me and he said

78:36God sent you.

78:39And I said, "What?

78:41You talking to me?"

78:43He said, "I've been praying for

78:462 years for God to send somebody

78:49to tell me

78:50about him." Mhm.

78:55>> [applause]

78:58>> It's amazing.

79:03And uh

79:05I had won a Sunday school contest here

79:07without

79:08trying to.

79:09The pastor gave me his Bible. He said,

79:11"Brother he said

79:13I'll buy you a new Bible. This is mine."

79:15I said, "I don't want your Bible."

79:17So they gave me

79:18some gifts or CDs of preaching and

79:21singing.

79:22I still had them in my suitcase.

79:25I hadn't even unpacked the suitcase.

79:28I said, "You got anything to play this?"

79:30He said, "The next village does."

79:33About 20 houses we'll get them together

79:35and they'll all listen.

79:37So getting lost in the mountains, out of

79:39gas.

79:42Now

79:45I don't know why God sent to me.

79:49But I do know that it was on the third

79:51day of fasting and I was pretty empty.

79:55And I said, "What do you want me to do?"

79:59I don't know if it was here

80:00or here but I heard God say.

80:04And I went on and

80:05the spirit told me all those other

80:06things.

80:08But it was a step

80:09of faith. Yeah.

80:12And uh

80:14the

80:16joint prayer of the church

80:19the body of Christ

80:21gives us strength to obey what

80:26>> Isn't that a beautiful story?

80:29>> [applause]

80:31>> Beautiful. I would like to make a couple

80:32comments.

80:33Help everybody that's listening,

80:35especially in light of pastor saying we

80:36have a lot of new Christians. Let me

80:38help you understand. It's a season man

80:40of God to learn the voice of the Lord.

80:42Uh one of the points he's making is that

80:44when you get into fasting and prayer,

80:46and especially the corporate prayer, it

80:48makes you more sensitive to hear a voice

80:51like that and be aware.

80:53Let me say this to you. I have a little

80:55phrase I use when I teach on gifts of

80:57the spirit, especially about prophecies

81:00and things. The greater the

81:02consequences,

81:04the greater the confirmation.

81:08So, if you think God said to you, or

81:12somebody prophesied to you, uh you need

81:15to uh not eat breakfast any day this

81:18week. And if you don't eat breakfast any

81:20day this week, you give it to the Lord

81:22as a sacrifice, then you're going to

81:24walk into a new blessing.

81:26Okay?

81:28Even if you made it up in your own mind,

81:30and it wasn't God at all.

81:33Very small consequences for getting that

81:36one wrong.

81:38If the person who spoke it to you was

81:39out of their mind.

81:41They think you need to lose weight and

81:42they're just trying to manipulate you.

81:45And you do it.

81:47Okay?

81:48Point being, the risk factor there very

81:51small.

81:52Give it a try. See what happens. Nothing

81:55lost. If they were right, praise the

81:57Lord. I'm moving to a new season.

82:00But somebody tells you you need to go to

82:02Zambia, or no, let's make it worse. You

82:04need to go to Iran and be a missionary.

82:07You might want to make sure that one's

82:08from God.

82:11I don't think I'd go home and pack.

82:14If I thought, now I'm a seasoned

82:17minister of the oneness a long time.

82:18I've learned to know the voice of God,

82:20but even IF I THOUGHT GOD SPOKE TO ME TO

82:22GO TO IRAN,

82:24I would not just go get on a plane and

82:26go.

82:28I would call some elders in my life. I

82:31would talk to some other spiritual

82:32people in my world. I'd say, "Man, I

82:35don't know, but I I think God might

82:36spoke to me last night." And see what

82:38they're feeling.

82:39And see if there's any witness here

82:41anywhere. So, my point being, and I'd

82:43keep my ears open. Did God show me this

82:45from any other source?

82:47In other words, I'm need to I'm going to

82:48need some confirmation

82:50that this is actually from God. Because

82:53if I go over there, I may not come back.

82:58One time when I was going to Pakistan,

83:00everybody was saying, "Brother Collins,

83:01I'm praying for your trip to Pakistan.

83:02I'm praying for your trip to Pakistan."

83:03I said, "Do not pray for my trip to

83:05Pakistan.

83:06I already got the ticket. I got the

83:08flight. I'm going to get there fine.

83:10You pray for my trip home.

83:12That's the one I'm worried about.

83:15Getting there's no problem.

83:17Surviving and getting back, and I've

83:19been there eight times. So, trust me, I

83:20know what I'm talking about.

83:22And other places I've been like that.

83:23Nigeria, and a few I don't want to

83:25So, the greater there because I travel

83:28internationally all the time, I feel

83:30like there's an anointing on my life and

83:31a general call of God to preach in the

83:33anywhere in the world. And most places

83:35that invite me to come, on the phone, I

83:37just accept the invitation. But when it

83:39comes to dangerous, difficult, highly

83:41volatile places, I look for additional

83:44confirmations from God.

83:47Now, New Zealand's pretty safe.

83:49You know, even if you got over there and

83:51it wasn't God, you know, he's probably

83:53not going to be in any big danger. But

83:55if you go to some you don't just my

83:56point being, don't just, you know, have

83:58a dream about some country tonight and

83:59then go tomorrow get on plane and go.

84:01If it's something serious like that, get

84:03some confirmation of it.

84:06Does that make sense to you?

84:07Amen.

84:09Beautiful story, Elder.

84:12Beautiful story. All right, we got one

84:14over here.

84:24He will give us the what?

84:28The secret of heaven, the mysteries of

84:30heaven? Okay.

84:38>> [snorts]

84:42>> Well, I've never applied it that way.

84:44I've applied that verse of knowing the

84:47mysteries of heaven is understanding the

84:49revelations of the scripture. You know,

84:51the Bible says not many noble, not many

84:52wise. So, you know, he he spoke in

84:55parables and some people never even

84:56understood what he's talking about. And

84:58even the disciples would have to come at

85:00times and he would have to then give

85:01them the meaning of the parable. He

85:04would have to say, "Okay, the sower is

85:05this and the seed is this and the soil

85:07is this." And he would actually then go

85:09through and explain it because they

85:10weren't getting it. That was a mystery

85:12to them. I I was talking with I think it

85:14was Pastor about this today. Everything

85:17in the Bible seems to be set up as a

85:18filter.

85:19It If you don't If you're not

85:21interested, you won't get it.

85:23But if you hunger for it, it'll open up

85:25to you.

85:26If you If you just really want to be

85:28offended, there'll always be an

85:29opportunity.

85:31And if you don't want to, you get right

85:33by it. Every I've seen miracles, dead

85:35raised, all kinds of things. There's

85:37always a little something in there that

85:38if you just want to not believe it,

85:40there's always be a little nugget to

85:41give you a validation to not receive it.

85:44I was in a I was in a church a while

85:45back preaching a revival. We had a we

85:47had

85:48promoted a healing service and it was 3

85:51weeks out and we promoted everywhere.

85:52Hundreds of people showed up. 10 minutes

85:54before the healing service started, a

85:56lady, one of the sisters, drops dead in

85:58the church.

86:00And I mean, I'm talking drop dead. The

86:01paramedics that were there rushed over

86:03to her. A lot of people in the church

86:04were pumping her chest. I mean, they

86:05made everybody leave the sanctuary that

86:07was already there. Uh they they've got

86:09that uh one of them electric

86:10defibrillator things. They were doing

86:12all that stuff. They were everything

86:13they could try. And I was with pastor

86:15and about four or five times they told

86:17pastor, "She's gone. We can't we're not

86:18getting nothing. She's gone."

86:20Finally, pastor went up and got a

86:21microphone. Everybody was out in the

86:23foyer and he said, "If you can hear me

86:25out in the foyer, they're telling me our

86:27sister so-and-so has passed away.

86:28They're trying everything they can, but

86:30nothing's working. Would you just start

86:31praying out there?" I love the way they

86:33prayed. It wasn't a panicky, desperate,

86:35emergency. They just started There was a

86:37rumble of prayer and peace and the power

86:39of God. And they're still working on her

86:40over there. And I was I was inside the

86:42sanctuary, me and pastor and just the

86:44people working on her. And and it's And

86:46she woke UP AND SAID, "OH, THAT HURTS."

86:52NOW, those medical professionals, there

86:54was no pulse, there was no breath. They

86:56were telling that she's gone, we can't

86:57get her back. It went on I don't know

86:59how many minutes. It went for a while.

87:00And then she the people got to praying

87:03and she wakes up.

87:07I believe she was raised from the dead.

87:09>> [applause]

87:10>> But there is room there to say God had

87:12nothing to do with it. They got her

87:13back.

87:16Right?

87:17See, you can believe it either way you

87:18want.

87:19I've had a lot of miracles in life. Now,

87:21there's sometimes you got to stretch

87:22pretty hard to not say God did it. But

87:25it seemed like there's always going to

87:26be a little something because it seems

87:27like everything is set up to filter out

87:30people. Not many noble, not many wise.

87:32He would speak the same thing, but some

87:34people couldn't get it and some people

87:35did. I believe the mysteries of the

87:38kingdom and the mysteries of the Godhead

87:40and the mysteries of revelation. If you

87:42hunger and thirst, he will reveal them

87:44to you.

87:45He'll give you the eyes of

87:46understanding. He'll give you the spirit

87:48of wisdom and revelation and the

87:50knowledge of him.

87:52He spent 40 days after the resurrection

87:55opening their understanding.

87:59So, I believe when it talks about the

88:00mysteries of the kingdom, it is or the

88:03it's talking about the mysteries of the

88:05biblical revealed knowledge that some

88:07people can read day and night, day and

88:08night, day and night, never get nothing

88:10out of it.

88:11Because they're not reading it with a

88:12spiritual hunger. They're not hearing

88:13what God's actually saying.

88:15They're trying to wrestle the scriptures

88:18to say what they want them to say. The

88:19Bible talks about that. But if you're

88:21trying to let them change you, you'll

88:23see what the mysteries are. God will

88:25open up your understanding. I pray that

88:27prayer all the time. God, give me

88:28understanding. Give me a spirit of

88:30wisdom. Give me revelation.

88:32Let let let me tell you this. And again,

88:34I don't know for overtime or not, but um

88:37preaching in all the different kinds of

88:38churches I do, there are churches that

88:40have in them what I call there's like a

88:43spirit of revelation there.

88:45And the way I can know it is because

88:46when I start preaching and I start

88:49building a thought toward a conclusion,

88:51before I ever get there, they've already

88:53got it.

88:54And the way I know I got it is because

88:56of their exuberant response.

88:58See, this is why I've kind of chided you

89:00a little bit along the way yesterday cuz

89:01I wasn't sure if you're getting it or

89:02not.

89:03Cuz it seemed like if you were

89:04understanding what I was saying or at

89:06least where I was headed, there would

89:08have been some verbal response. Now,

89:10after church, I got all kinds of like,

89:11"That was amazing. Oh my God, you

89:12answered so many questions."

89:14Well, I couldn't I didn't pick that up

89:17from you due to the lack of response

89:20while it was being said.

89:22But I go to places that I don't even get

89:24to finish the sentence. They're already

89:25on their feet cuz they've already felt

89:27where it's happening. They call, "OH,

89:28WOW. WHOA. HALLELUJAH." And I hadn't

89:31even said it yet. That's the spirit of

89:33revelation. The word starts going. The

89:35intent of the minister, the sower is

89:37about to release the impartation, but

89:39because the people are have such a

89:41spirit of revelation and anticipation,

89:43they've done caught it in the spirit

89:45realm before it was spoken by the

89:47vessel.

89:48So, that's a good thing to pray for for

89:50the spirit of revelation and the

89:51knowledge of him because it gives you an

89:53anticipation of what the spirit is

89:56saying and is about to say.

89:59Uh

90:00it reminds me of Who was the little

90:03fellow in the Bible that climbed the

90:04tree? Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus

90:07couldn't get to Jesus because of the

90:09press.

90:11So now the woman, she just got down on

90:12her hands and knees and crawled through

90:14and bumped into the knees and the ankles

90:15until she got to him. Zacchaeus looked

90:18at the situation and said, "I can't get

90:20to him where he is,

90:23but I can see where he's going."

90:25So he positioned himself in the place

90:29where Jesus was going to arrive.

90:32>> [applause]

90:33>> But he had to be able to discern or

90:35understand which way he was headed.

90:38And so that was a revelation in the

90:40spirit of revelation. And so he got so

90:42Jesus had to walk right by him, looked

90:43up in the tree, said, "Would you like to

90:44come to my house to eat?" Because he

90:46positioned him place himself in the

90:47place where God was going.

90:49I think we ought to uh

90:51close but

90:53or you have a question, my brother?

90:55>> [snorts]

91:10>> Yes.

91:12Yes.

91:47Oh, what an insightful question. I think

91:50this answer's is going to help a lot of

91:51people.

91:52>> [applause]

91:53>> So So his question is, how do you How do

91:56you maintain the balance

91:59between you went and got prayed for for

92:01something, and you want to believe God

92:02for the answer, but the symptoms are

92:05still there, and you're still feeling

92:06the pains, so now there's another call,

92:07should you go get prayed for again? And

92:09are you confessing that the other prayer

92:11just didn't work?

92:13Or should you not go forward and just

92:15have faith that that prayer will

92:17eventually work?

92:18What an insightful question. I would

92:21answer it this way in what I do. Now,

92:23number one, uh of course, some of this

92:25works through personality, but for me, I

92:27just And I'm getting everything they're

92:29handing out, so I'm always in line, I'm

92:31always

92:32I I've done prayer lines where I've saw

92:33people come through twice.

92:36I've done prayed for everybody in the

92:37church, and I know that I've saw Didn't

92:39I already pray for you?

92:41They just went through and come back and

92:42got in the back, and they're just

92:43getting everything they can get.

92:45But But to to try to answer the question

92:47specifically, I think for me, the

92:49balance would be this.

92:51Did I feel

92:53or hear Did I hear a word from the Lord?

92:56Did I feel a witness that I was

92:59healed or being healed? Did any of the

93:01symptoms at all change in any capacity

93:04at all? If I feel like the healing is at

93:08least beginning, or I felt such a strong

93:11witness of God, then I might be able to

93:14just rest in the confidence this is

93:16already happening. If I go forward

93:19again, my mentality is

93:22I've received a touch, I'm going to go

93:24get more of the same touch. I'm not

93:26saying it didn't happen, I'm saying I'm

93:28feeling it working, I'm going to get

93:30some more.

93:32That would be my thought process, and

93:33that would why I wouldn't be thinking I

93:35was doubting or not confessing.

93:38If you didn't feel anything at all,

93:39nothing really changed at all, then

93:41we're just going to go back, and you

93:42know, like I preached the other night,

93:43ask He that asketh receiveth, he that

93:45seeketh findeth, he that knocketh it

93:47shall be opened. The little ETH in the

93:49King James F is like we use ing, asking,

93:52seeking, uh knocking. That is to do it

93:56and continue to do it. There is

93:57scriptural precedent that you just keep

94:00going back. So, if it hasn't happened

94:03yet, go back and get prayed for again.

94:05There's I To me, it's not an expression

94:07of doubt.

94:09Unless you feel like God has just

94:13made it abundantly clear it's done.

94:17Then I would probably convert over to

94:19the fact I'm not even getting prayed for

94:20no more. I think that one's taken care

94:21of. It hadn't changed yet, but I feel

94:23like the Lord has sealed it up. Um the

94:25only way I can give you an example of

94:27that is this. We're trying to buy this

94:29house in um

94:31Louisiana. And as an evangelist, it's

94:33very difficult to buy a house because I

94:35go from church to church to church to

94:36church and you don't you know, I just

94:38live by faith and we pastor and I don't

94:40pre-negotiate, you know, I'm going to

94:42come speak, how much money you're going

94:43to pay for me and all this stuff. We

94:44just come and then we just whatever he

94:46feels and whatever the church feels to

94:48give and and we we live off a love

94:50offering. So, every church I go to is a

94:52different amount of money

94:54that I receive as any kind of a love

94:55offering. And so, that's a wonderful way

94:57to live for God, but the banks look at

94:59me like I've lost my ever loving mind.

95:02Well, who do you work for? God.

95:04How much money do you make? Well, it

95:06depends.

95:07How much you going to get next year?

95:09Don't know yet. What churches you going

95:10to? Don't know.

95:12So, I'm a

95:14I'm a little interesting case when it

95:15comes to all that business and what's

95:17going to happen.

95:18But we're in this process trying to get

95:19this house and so, we've gone through

95:21all this stuff. But about a month or so

95:24ago,

95:25I just I don't know how to explain it. I

95:27just came to a blessed assurance.

95:30The bank's still asking questions. We

95:32did we finally got a pre-approval, then

95:34we got a secondary approval. Now we've

95:35locked in rates. I mean, a little more

95:37and more it's looking like, okay, it's

95:38going to be a done deal. We got a

95:39closing date of May 29th. Unless the

95:41underwriters come up with something

95:42we're not expecting. I mean, but but it

95:44was before all that.

95:46And I just had this feeling, so I

95:47changed my expression.

95:49And people say, "Where you at on the

95:50house? Is it done yet?" I would say,

95:54"I believe it's done in the spirit

95:56realm.

95:57We just haven't got it done in the

95:59natural yet."

96:00>> [applause and cheering]

96:02>> Because I felt like I had heard and

96:04[clears throat] I have an assurance. I

96:06I'm not going to keep asking God to do

96:08what I feel he's told me he's already

96:09done, but I do need God to get me

96:11through all the natural pieces to bring

96:13it about. I still got to sign documents

96:16and send documents and answer questions

96:18and I got to go through the natural

96:20process, but in my spirit, I feel like

96:23it is done.

96:25But it won't be I won't be owning that

96:27house

96:29in the natural world until I sign the

96:31final document on May 29th.

96:34So, it could both can be kind of

96:36simultaneously true. I hope I've

96:37answered your question in some kind of

96:38legitimate way, but it's a very

96:40insightful question.

96:43All right. Praise the Lord. Come on,

96:44pastor.

96:46>> [applause]

96:51>> Well, tonight you was able to get

96:53incredible incre- This This we don't do
