Reformation: There Is More Than We Can See

Welcome back to today's episode of The Gathering Tabernacle Podcast! Today's episode is filled with a deeper meaning about who God is, returning to your first love, and a tongue/interpretation given. Do you truly KNOW the Lord and not just know ABOUT Him? Knowing about the Lord doesn't mean you have salvation. It is about having a relationship with Him and truly surrendering your life to follow Him. We need to continue for spiritual eyes to be open. There is always more to learn about who God is. You don't have to see to believe God. That's called faith. Faith is an action. Sometimes our desires get focused on people rather than God. It is time to fall in love with Him again.

She's a little excited because I've been with Jesus this morning and he is worthy of all excitement, right? Okay, okay. Here's what I need you to do. Can you stand on to your feet? Woohoo! Oh my goodness, you are all over achievement. Danny. Jonah, can you stand up? I need everybody. Okay, maybe not Jonah. Okay.

unknown 1:09

Good job, Danny.

SPEAKER_06 1:10

The next part of the test, close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. I'm looking. You got your eyes closed? I'm looking, okay. And I'm gonna read you a verse and then I'm gonna ask you to think about some things. So Psalms 118, 24, this, and it's in the Amplified. The day which God has saved. Saved you. Is the day which the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. I was thinking on that this morning. That's why I'm so glad. I asked the Lord, and I asked the Holy Spirit right now to take you to the day of your salvation. Take you to the day that the Holy Spirit came in you and He took all that muck and He took all that yoke and He ripped it out from head to toe and He put in a new being, a new creation. All things passed away, all things made no. We are new, we are new because He is new, He is alive, He is risen. But the question is, can you remember? Do you know? Was there a day? Do you know there's a time? Not a time like you can write it down, it's blah blah blah. Is there a time that you went from the world to the King of Kings, to the Lord of Lords? Is there a time that you can go back and you know that when you meet him face to face? And he says, he said that to Matthew, depart from me, those that don't know me. Do you know him? Personal, intimate, not about him. He didn't ask them if they knew about him. He said, Do you know me? Do you know me? And if you don't, you won't enter. This is important. This is a day of salvation. This is a day that you have to know. Because the kingdom of God is advancing, and he wants each and every one of you alive and working. So ask Holy Spirit as you stand there. Am I yours? Am I a child of God? Do I know? If I crashed in an airplane, if I crashed in the car on my way home, would I open my eyes face to face with Jesus? And he would say, Come on in. Or would he say, Depart from me? This is very important to know. So I'm asking, is there anybody here? What a better way to start the day. Is there anybody here who does not know Jesus as Lord? Not that you know about him. I knew about him for 36 years, and I spent every time the church doors opened in it. And I looked really good. Even the day I got saved. My pastor said, There's no way you were lost. There's no way. But I was the best counterfeit there was. Satan really liked me. Until I said, okay to Jesus. Do you know? And if you know, then we're gonna worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We're gonna get excited. The joy of the Lord shall be upon us because his word never changes. He's the same, he's alive, he's risen. Woo! Let's act like it. Hallelujah! Woo! Father, we love you. Father, you're holy, father, you're worthy, father, we love you. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

SPEAKER_01 4:51

Hallelujah. How many people does it take to move a pulpit? How many people does it take to screw in a light bulb? Three. One to hold the light bulb and two to turn them around. Right? There you go. Good morning, good morning, good morning. Wonderful day to be in the house of the Lord. Amen. It's a great day. It's really quiet day, but it's a great day. Is that what you're thinking? Like, like it's really quiet today. Amen. Don't do yawning on us yet. Yeah. I think that rain made us all sleepy yesterday, right? It's good to hear it listen rain. You know, don't you get some good sleep when it's raining? Hear it raining on the tin roof and everything. Man, you know, it's fun to be in the house of the Lord. It's fun to do to do that, Lord. It is. I mean, it it it's joyous, you know. Pastor Sarah last week was talking about being being rewired, and you know that that we can be rewired. We can be be conformed into the image of Christ. So as we get ready, let's prepare our tithes and offerings. And and uh, you know, as I always say, it's exciting to to give, to sow into the kingdom of God, and to know that that when you're sowing into the kingdom of God, you're sowing kingdom finances, you're sowing into good ground, you're you're doing stuff that that that makes a difference. It makes makes kingdom differences. And uh know that that you're you're partnering with that, and know that that when you trust the Lord, you know, trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. That's trusting him with your finances too. That's trusting with your health, your mind, body, soul, and spirit. Spirit, your spirit has a soul that lives in the body. That's that's trusting him with every every fiber of your being. And only in the kingdom of heaven does 90% of your money go farther than 100. So it's exciting to to sow into that and to watch it grow and watch uh fruit come by. So if our ushers can go ahead and be ready for that, and uh we'll go ahead and gather. So, Father, we thank you, Father, we praise you, Lord, that we get to sow into the kingdom of God, Lord. Lord, that we get to get to give into your kingdom, Lord, Lord, and we speak a blessing over that Lord that it produces, Lord, to its fullest potential. Lord, your word says a thirty, sixty, a hundredfold in Jesus' name. Amen. Hallelujah. I guess Sarah's okay. Praise the Lord, why wouldn't she be? Right? She got me. And I got Christ. Amen. And we're one together. We had a fabulous time, got away there for a for a few days, a little refreshing, so we had a great time in that. So, you know, it it's good to get away. Good to get to get away and get together. Our anniversary, yep. 31 years. She's been blessed to have me for 31 years. Amen. I've been doubly blessed to have her for 31 years. So, amen. You know, a good wife is a great thing, isn't it? Amen. A good wife's a great thing. It's it's it's joyous. So let's let's go ahead and get right into it. Um, as I was mentioned last week, Pastor Sarah was talking about, you know, rewire, rewire, rewire. And and rewiring is is something that that you can do. You you don't have to think the way you think. Now, if you're thinking what I'm talking about, if you're thinking negative, you don't have to think negative. You know, if you have sickness, you don't have to have sickness. If you got mental stuff going on in your head, you don't have to have the mental stuff. If you're if you're lost, you can be found. Amen. You know, and and in a a few weeks, a couple weeks before that, you know, I was I was preaching on uh Mark 11, 22 through 24. And uh, you know, have faith in God, for surely I say to you, whoever says that this mountain be thou removed and cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes those things he says he will have. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask, whatever things you ask, whatever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them and you'll have them. And and remember we were talking like the the Lord wants you to have your desires. He wants you to have your desires. He he as long as your desires line up with the word of God, you know, there's always a or always a stipulation in there, but but well, well, brother, how do how do I know that it's you know uh that I'm asking for something for God's will? It's like well, well, would you ask for something that wasn't God's will? Would you knowingly ask for something that you didn't you didn't think you didn't deceive or didn't think you uh needed or whatever? No, no, you're you're asking what the word of God says. Well, how can I know what the word of God says? He gave us the word to look at to tell what he says. Amen. And that's that's the God we serve. And he wants you to be healed, he wants you to be set free, he wants you to be made whole, he wants you to prosper, he wants you born again, and and he wants you to have your desires. Amen. You know, I got up this morning and and uh I thought, well, I should put some clothes on. There are gonna be some people coming in the house, you know. So I'll put on some actual jeans and not just shorts or whatever, but but but anyway, you know, I I went to my closet and I thought, you know, I'll wear them brown shoes today because you're gonna go to Joplin after and this or that, and I'll wear these jeans, and I'll wear this shirt. You know, God didn't tell me to put on this shirt or these jeans or this pants. Now, if he told you to wear what you did today, then then praise the Lord. But for the most part, did God tell you what to wear today? Or did you just chose what you wanted, what you desired, what you wanted to wear, right? So you're smart enough to make choices. I don't see anyone inappropriately dressed, and even if there was someone that came in that I thought was inappropriately dressed, that does not matter because I'm not concerned about their inappropriately dressed. I'm about concerned about their heart getting changed and their their life getting changed, and and not for me to speak some judgment on them because they're wearing a uh a chief shirt instead of a cowboy shirt. You know, I don't know. I don't know anything like that, but you're thinking different things. But some people that could be inappropriately dressed if they were wearing, you know, opposite your team. So so to think about that, but but you have enough knowledge, you have enough enough wisdom to know what you desire. Right? You know, and we talked about, you know, if you're praying for something and receiving another, then then you're not getting what what God's will was for you. You know, you might be praying for a uh maybe a new pickup. Maybe I maybe I need a new pickup, and I'm praying for a new pickup, and and uh, and the Lord gives me a car, and I'm thinking, well, the Lord must have known what knew what I needed. He knew I needed a car more than I needed a pickup. No, but no, my desire was for a new pickup. Has any of you ever went to the to the grocery store, like where they where they well, let's let's just say you go to a steakhouse. You know, we go to a steakhouse, and what are you gonna get if you go to the steakhouse? You're gonna get a steak, all right? All of you gonna get steak or you're gonna get something else. All right, for the most part, you're gonna get steak. So, so you go down there and and you sit down and and and you order a big ribeye with with all the trimmings and everything, and then they come out and they sit down to you and be like, here's your salmon. And you're like, I didn't order salmon, I ordered steak. Well, God must have known that that you needed salmon and not steak. You know, don't don't do we ever do that aspect when we're doing on something like that. Well, God must have must have known I needed salmon instead of steak, so I guess I'll need the salmon. You're like, you're like, no, I ordered the ribeye, and I expect the ribbe, and I'm not leaving here without the ribeye, because the desire of your heart was for the ribbe, right? And our desire for uh for him is we're gonna love him with all of our heart and lean not on our own understanding and all the ways we're gonna acknowledge him. He's gonna make our path straight, we're gonna present ourselves to him living sacrifices, and it's awesome to see the lives that are being changed and conformed into the image of God. We're not gonna be conformed into this world, but we're gonna be transformed by the renewing of our minds, right? So, amen. So let's talk about faith, right? I think we already are. So in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, the spirit of God hovered over the face of the deep, and God said, Let there be light, and there was light. So, uh do we do we have any inventors here? Has anyone ever invented anything? Anything, ever invented, ever, ever patent anything? Not yet, but praise the Lord, they're coming, right? So, so for you to patent something, for you to invent something, could you invent something before you're even born? It'd be impossible to invent something before you were even born, right? So you would have to be here before you'd done that. So you have to be in existence before you created something. Right? You have to be in existence before someone invented the wheel. You have to be in existence before someone invented the light bulb. You have to be in existence before then. So so if we think about God, when he created the heavens and the earth, he had to be in existence before he created it. You think about that? So he had to be in existence before he created it. What's the word of God say about what's the Bible say about God and his creation? Yep. So God's a spirit, and he has created material things. That means he had to be in existence before he created them. So, was God here before he created the heavens and the earth? He had to be here before he created the heavens and the earth, right? Because he couldn't create it. So, so he so he must be more real, so he must be more real than the things he created. So God's more real than the things he created. Think about that. Isn't that good stuff? Because the things he created are dependent on him, and he's not dependent on the things. What's some things you're dependent on? Oxygen, shelter, food, water, um, not too hot, not too cold. You're all dependent on that. Like if all the oxygen left the earth right now, within seconds, everyone would be dead. But would God be dead? God would still be alive because he's not dependent on the things in the earth. He's outside of that. So that's how powerful, that's how awesome he is. So it says in several different places, but I don't know if I give this to you or not, Maddie. In Isaiah 4012, I believe I did. Isaiah 4012, it says, Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers? Who else knows the weight of the earth? Or who has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale? So if you think about it, God is out, God is a spirit and he is outside of his creation. He's not dependent on us, but he wants to use us, he wants to work through us, but but he's not dependent on us. We're dependent on him. It says he holds the world in the palm of his hands, right? Right? So to hold the world in the palm of your hand, you'd have to be, you'd have to be outside of it. You could you couldn't be in it. So to think you're worshiping, we're worshiping this this massive God that spoke the world into existence that's outside of creation. He's outside of all that. That's the God we serve. And that that's God, that's the God that wants you to have your desires. That's the God that wants your family born again. That's the God that wants you born again. That's the God that wants you healed. That's the God that wants you set free. That's the God that wants you made whole. Like we can't even, we can't even fathom, uh, begin to fathom how wonderful and how mighty he is. Well, I know how wonderful and mighty the Lord is. No, I don't even, we don't even have an inkling of how mighty and wonderful he is, but we know he is mighty and wonderful, and and there's no way to figure him out, but but we can still have a relationship with him. That's good. Amen. Amen. So we're talking about some things that exist both physically and spiritually. So have you have you seen God? So no one says, you know, we can see God and live because God is a spirit, right? So God is a spirit. So in here right now, there are some things in existence that we cannot see, even though everyone here has eyes. Can't see the air. What about? There is all kinds of radio waves going through this room right now. Like no telling. I don't know how I don't know how you'd even put it put a number on it. I tried to find a number on it, but said there's no way to even put a number on it. Does anyone have one of these? Anyone have a cell phone? So right now, all at once, we could call someone, and more more than likely everyone would all go through. Right? So that's on a that's on a a on a radio wave. It's it's on a frequency. Who can pull up their bank account on their phone right now? You don't want to. We can pull up our bank accounts on our phone right now. That's on another frequency. You can go to Facebook, you can go to Instagram, you can go to many different things, and it's all on a different frequency. I got this little calculator app on here. I got uh Microsoft Word, I got several Bible apps, I got some cameras. I I can pull up right now and see what's going on out at my mom's house. I can pull up right now and see what's going on all around this church on the back porch. And it was pretty handy because I got up the other day and and the straps were eaten off my backpack blower, and and uh the couches, the cushions on the porch were chewed up, and I thought, man, I wonder what went on there. So so I went through the camera and I backed up and I could tell exactly what dog chewed my backpack blower up. So so that's on a frequency, but I could even go back on that frequency and see what happened. That was at three o'clock in the morning, and this was about six, six thirty. So I could go back three hours and see that. I can I can go back hours uh uh on the cameras out at my my mom's house. I go back hours on the camera and see what's going on. So what I'm getting at is there are things that we can't see, but they actually do exist. And until we understand that faith is a substance of things hoped for, faith is a substance, so there is a substance to faith, of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen till we realize, and we get it deep down inside of us that that the truth of the gospel really does exist and it really is ours. And the more we understand that it truly does exist and it really is ours, that's how power the more powerful that it's gonna be. Right? So, I mean, there's AM radio waves going through here. Does anyone have an AM radio anymore or an FM radio or BHF or UHF? And then then I was thinking about that, but but how how does it anyone know how a microwave works? It works through radio waves, and it goes in there and you put your food in there, and then it then it somehow goes to the molecules in the food, and then them radio waves heat the food up from the inside out. And if you don't think it heats up from the inside out, put you a ball of foil in there. No, no, do do not put do not put a ball of foil in your microwave because it will blow up because it's radio waves that does it. It's acting on them waves. So, so do not do not do that. Some stuff we shouldn't say. So, amen. Alright, so the same way with you know, we could use our cameras. Uh, we already talked about the cell phones. So, So we got to realize that there's things that exist even though we can't see them. Amen. Amen. Alright, so we're going to talk about some scripture of things that exist even though we can't see them. Okay? Let's turn to 2 Kings chapter 6, verse 8 through 17. When the king of Aram, some of you might say Syria. One's a Hebrew name, one's a Greek name, Roman name, but when the king of Aram was at war with Israel, he would confer with his officers and say, We will mobilize our forces at such and such a place. But immediately Elisha, the man of God, would warn the king of Israel, do not go near that place. For the Armenians are planning to mobilize their troops there. You can leave it right there. So, so here we go. So the kings wanting to attack them, but immediately Elisha the prophet he gets a word from God, and then he tells them from Israel, Hey, hey, don't go there. Don't do that. You'll get attacked when you go there, right? So he had a line with God that told him what was going on. All right, good job. So the king of Israel would send word to the place indicated by the man of God. Time and time again, Elisha warned the king so that he would be on the alert there. The king of Aaron became very upset over this. He called his officers together and said, Which of you is the traitor? Who has been informing the king of Israel of my plan? So I'm thinking about you. You know, if you're you're planning something, or, you know, even if it's a surprise birthday party and it keeps getting spoiled, or, you know, even you know, we could put it on the positive side and stood on the negative side, but but you know, even if you're planning uh to do destruction or something and and your plot kept getting foiled, you would think that, man, there there's a traitor. We got a traitor among us, you know, someone's leaking out the secrets, you know. So that's what we begin to think. So so the king begins to think this. Hey, hey, who do we got in here that that's being a traitor? Verse 12. So say, oh no, oh, it's none of us. We don't have no traitors here. Lord the king, one of we don't, it's not us, my Lord the king, one of the officers replied, Elisha the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel, even the words you speak in the privacy of your bedroom. So he's saying, You know, he can hear you, even the words you speak in the privacy of your bedroom. Now, now Elisha, he couldn't hear everything that was going on there. He heard what the Lord, what the Lord told him, what the Lord had told him he heard. Okay? But he's saying, you know, he hears everything. Even what's going on in your bedroom, you're thinking, oh my gosh, what am I going to do in my bedroom? I can't even get no privacy in there. But he's saying, he knows that he knows the secrets of your hearts. When you're plotting against his people, he knows the secrets in your heart. He says, Go and find out where he is. So the king command the king commanded, so I can send troops and seize him and report back, Elisha is at Dothan. So, all right, we're going to take care of this situation. Now, where's this one that's causing us all this trouble? Well, he's over there at Dothan. So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround the city. When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning, he went outside, and there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. Oh, sir, what will we do now? The young men cried out to Elisha. All right, so so now they're there in the city, and and and the servant, his name is Gehazi, his servant wakes up and he goes outside and they're surrounded by by the enemy, right? Do you ever feel like you're surrounded by the enemy? Do you ever feel like, man, there is no way out, and I am completely surrounded by the enemy. I'm being sunk down, I'm being this. So Gehazi goes out and that's what he sees, right? He sees that all around. All right. And then uh Elisha told him, Don't be afraid, Elisha told him, for there are more on our side than on their side. So, so so think about this for a minute. We're saying amen, but but when you're when you're Gehazi and you're out there and you're looking around, like, man, you you look around and you're just surrounded by warriors all around you like, there's more on our side than on your side, and you're thinking, well, well, come here, Gehazi. I don't know if Gehazi was a woman, but if she is, she is a beautiful one. So, so you know, you know, Gehazi's like, you know, hey, there's more, or Lisha's like, hey, there's more for us than against us, and Gehazi's like, one, two. One, two, and there's more for us than against us. But but but but but but but we're only two.

unknown 26:56

Two.

SPEAKER_01 26:59

Right? We're only two. All right. So don't be afraid, Elisha told him. There are more on our side than our two. So you get there and you sometimes you think you're outnumbered. You think, man, there's no way I'm gonna get through this. Man, I'm surrounded on all sides. There's only two of us here. I don't know how many people it's gonna take to kick my rear, but I know how many they're gonna use. I heard a guy say one time. But but but but but they were all surrounded, but but he's standing there, and then Alicia says this. Then Elisha prayed, Oh Lord, open his eyes and let him see. So you think about that and you think about Gehazi. His problem was that he couldn't see. His problem was he could see. The problem was that he could see. The problem was he looked around and all he could see was those that were coming against him. You know, but Alicia didn't say, Oh Lord, please make him blind. Right? He didn't say, Oh Lord, please make him blind. He said, Oh Lord, oh Lord, open his eyes and let him see. And then the Lord opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw the hillside, and Elisha was filled, he saw the hillside around Elisha and was filled with horses and chariots of fire. Amen. So, so when he said, Lord, open his eyes, don't that seem like a like a crazy prayer? Don't that seem like a crazy prayer? Lord, Lord, open his eyes because because what he could see was what was causing him the problem, but then the Lord says, open his eyes. You know, so when you think about that, you know, you know, when we're talking about walking by faith and not by sight, and the Lord says, open his eyes. So it was what Gehazi was seeing that was a problem. That's what scared him is what he could see with his eyes open. But here's the interesting part there's more to you than what you can see. There's more to you than what you can see. There's more to you than your flesh and bone body. There's more to you, just like the the radio frequencies going through the room, just like the the you know, the microwaves, and just like the the um uh AM, FM, UHF, VHF, all the all the apps on your phone, that there's more to you than you can see. So you're a spirit being. Your physical body has eyes, and so does your spirit man. So Alicia was praying for his spiritual eyes to be open. So that's that's why we pray the Mephisian prayers, Lord, that the eyes of our understanding, Lord, keep being enlightened, Lord. Lord, so so the thing is, when you've got a situation going on in your life, you got an instance going on in your life, and you feel like you're defeated, that we understand now that we don't walk by feelings, we walk by faith. And we know faith without works is dead, faith without corresponding action is dead. Dead. So so we stand on the word of God. We we stand on what he says. We're not moved by what we see. There's times that stuff tries to come upon me. There's times that sickness tries to come upon me. There's times that different things try to come up on me, but but I'm not moved by what I see. I'm moved by what the word of God says, and I stand on the word of God no matter what I feel like, because faith is not a feeling. Faith is an action, faith is acting upon the word of God, and faith without action, faith without works, faith without corresponding action is dead, is deader than a hammer. You know, if uh if uh Gehazi and Alicia were up there and say, well, it looks like we're we're outnumbered. Looks like you're outnumbered. But I'm telling you, when you're in the Lord, when you're fighting his battles, you're not outnumbered. You're not outnumbered way for you than is against you. Even though you can't see him, even though you you can't see him, but pray for the Lord. Lord, please open my eyes. Lord, I feel like I'm uh I'm outnumbered in this situation. I feel like I'm outnumbered in this relationship. I feel like I'm outnumbered in my finances. I feel like I'm I'm outnumbered in all this going on in my life, Lord. Lord, but but I trust in you, Lord. I trust in you, Lord, to change me, Lord, Lord, for me to see. So, so Gehazi, uh he said, Lord, open his eyes. And it said, it's the Lord opened Gehazi's eyes. It opened his eyes and he could see. So I'm telling you, there's more than you can see. There's way more than you can see. And we see people gossiping all the time about things they see. We see people being put down, being drugged down, being smacked down over things they can see. But I'm telling you, we're not we're not moved by the things we see. We're moved by the word of God. Well, that don't make sense. I'm not talking about sense. It don't say we walk by sense. It says we walk by faith and not by sight. It says faith without corresponding action is dead. So we're gonna continue to act on our faith because faith is an action. It says without faith, it is impossible to please him. And I'm thinking, you know, I want to please God, and the way the way I know to please him is by faith. The faith in his word, faith in acting on his word, faith in trusting in his word, faith in standing on his word. And I'm telling you, his word works in any situation in your life and anything that's going on in your life. I'm telling you, that it it works. Well, I don't believe it works. Well, it's not going to work for you then. I can't make you believe. You have to be the one that chooses to believe. You have to be the one that chooses to believe. How much we would love sometimes to make our kids believe, or friends, or parents, or sisters, or cousins, or dads, or moms, or or or whatever it is. But but the truth is you have a free will. The truth is you have a choice of what you're going to believe and what you don't believe. And and to know that that faith is acting on the word of God, and it's simply simply believing and taking God at His Word. Oh, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. So faith is a substance. So there is a a realm out there, and and that, you know, we don't talk about a whole lot. We just say, well, Lord, do this, do that. But but but there is a a realm out there. There is a frequency, you know, all the frequencies that we're talking about, but there is a frequency out there for salvation. There is a frequency out there for healing. There is a frequency out there for deliverance. There is a frequency out there for forgiveness. There is a frequency out there for whatever's going on in your life. And just to get tuned in to that frequency. You know, we're getting to the point now that I don't know, I might be the last generation that members going out and turning the antenna. Hey, we want to watch such and such channel. And you go out, do you remember that, Josh? So there you go, there's maybe one more you go out. You probably don't remember, do you, Cameron? Yep. So so you go out, you know, and you had the uh sometimes you had the little bun ears on top of the the TV, you know, and and if you're real high-tech, you had an antenna outside and you're like, boy, we need to get channel, I think it's 27, you know, you need to turn it to the south a little bit. So you go out there and turn it to the south, or or maybe you'd be watching your favorite show or or football game or whatever, and then it'd start getting fuzzy because the wind was blowing, and then the wind had turned the antenna a little bit, and you had to go turn the antenna a little bit. But I'm telling you, we're gonna get zoned in. We're gonna get we're gonna get pressed in to the frequency God has you on. Rewire, rewire, rewire. Tuned into the frequency, tuned into the frequency, tuned into the frequency. I'm getting him. Baby, you need healing, you need healing, get into the frequency of healing. If you need deliverance, get into the frequency of deliverance. If you need forgiveness, get into the frequency of forgiveness. But I'm telling you, it's here today, and it's just as real. Well, I won't believe it if I don't see it. You know, I I had someone tell me one time and said, Well, I don't have to see to believe. I didn't know much then, but not that I know anything now. But then I later I was on, well, because you don't believe, you don't see. So you say, Well, I don't have to believe to see. All this stuff is ended. I don't have to believe to see, but actually, what you're saying is because you don't believe, you don't see. I don't have to see to believe either, but I believe. And because I believe, I see. I see people born again, I see people heed healed, I see people set free, I see people made whole. Amen. So you can go ahead and put something on, Maddie. So I'm telling you today, there's a frequency. Let's all stand. There's a frequency for freedom in your life. There's a frequency for healing in your life. There's a frequency for healing in your marriage. And not to let someone dial you out. See, that's what the enemy's tactic is. Is to get you dialed out of your focus. Because when we stay focused, no weapon formed against us will prosper. Say no weapon will be formed against us. Says no weapon formed against you will prosper. But only if you're focused. I can make the dog run. But uh just focus on him. Man, I got this going on, man. I got trouble in my marriage, I got trouble with my kids, I got trouble. All I got's trouble. Quit focusing on trouble, your trouble's getting bigger. Boy, I'm just sick, I'm just sick, I got this going on, I got that going on. Quit focusing on being sick, focus on being hell, get being hell, being well. Don't laugh, Phil. Hell, get out of here. Focus on being well. Yeah, but I'm not well. Yeah, but but but it's out there. The frequency is there. Has anyone, I know sometimes you don't get service on your phones and stuff, and I know that, but but has anyone ever picked up their phone and went to calls like, yeah, we're just not doing calls today. Calls, like you try to make a phone call. Like, you know, if I was like, hey Siri, call mom.

unknown 38:34

She's going.

SPEAKER_01 38:38

Oh, sorry, we're not doing calls today. It don't do that, right? You you you either have service or you don't have service. You're either connected to God or you're or you're not connected to God. I mean, the frequency is straight, you know, well, there's stuff, there's stuff affecting the frequencies. Hardly ever, even in a storm, does anything affect your frequency. But I'm telling you, with God, nothing ever affects your frequency. Nothing ever affects your frequency. It's there. It's there. Keep standing. Therefore, whatever things you desire. Therefore, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them. Whatever whatsoever desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them. God wants you to have your desires. Now sometimes. Sometimes our desires get focused on other people. Mark 11 24. And the new King James. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, can you do King James? Therefore I say unto you, whatever what things soever ye desire, when you pray, believe you shall have them. What things soever ye desire? It's for you. It's for you. And we get caught up, man. I got this going on with family, I got this going on with kids, I got this going on with work, I got this going on with that, and it's sitting there and it's breaking you down, it's breaking you down, and it's breaking you down. It's destroying you. It's destroying you. Get your frequency back on him. Josh, you want to testify about uh last night with holding Danny?

SPEAKER_02 41:19

Uh so last night we were we were in worship and I was standing up worshiping um the Lord said sit down and hold Danny. I just thought it was weird for a second. But I was obeying it and I sat down. And I know a lot of you heard my testimony, but when I gave my life to the Lord, Danny was sick. And I had her held on my chest.

SPEAKER_03 41:48

So last night during worship, he took me back to the first love. When I gave my life to him, and he took me back to me holding Danny and him holding me. And then he took me to Revelation 2, where it says, You've done all these works, you've done everything for me, but you've lost your first love. And so I had to repent. Because I was doing the work of the kingdom, but I lost my love. So he he loves me so much that he took me back. And I thought it was beautiful because Pastor Sarah, I'm sitting up there. You know, I felt like I was supposed to open this morning with this. And Sarah said, This is what I'm open with. I said, perfect voice is God. But to have the Holy Spirit so entune to us and so in love with him that we hear him so clearly that Pastor Sarah hears him so clearly. We have to go back to our first love, guys. Our church is doing wonderful things for the kingdom of God. But we lose our first love. We're doing nothing. So he reminded me yesterday, last night. Don't forget. My first love.

SPEAKER_01 43:19

Get your desires lined up with his desires. Get your love lined up with his love. Well, I'm just worried about this, I'm worried about that. What's it gonna change if you worry the rest of your life? It's gonna make you sick, it's gonna make you miserable, and it more likely lead you to an early grave. So thank you, Lord. Your yoke is easy, Lord, your burden is light. Thank you, Lord. Take up my yoke upon you and learn from you. Fall in love with him again. That's how much. Yeah, but what about no buttons? Get your stinking butt out of the way. If anything starts with a butt, be like, but but but get out of here. Yeah, but for God so love the world, but for God so loved the world he gave. No greater for love than to lay one's one's life down. But no but. No but man, God loves me and I love him, and I'm gonna do everything I can to please him. Not because, not because of the the Ten Commandments and the law, because I love him. And when I love him, I keep the commandments. When I'm in love with him, when I'm focused on him, I never think about murder. Has anyone ever thought about murder when you're focusing on the Lord? I think people thought about murder and then focused on the Lord. But if you're in the, you know, when you're focused in the presence of God and think, yeah, I think I'll just go out and murder. No, it doesn't happen, does it? Well, I can't wait to get out of the presence of God. I think I'll go steal something this afternoon. You know, it's stuff when you do, you do, you do, you know, you know you shouldn't steal. You know you shouldn't murder. You know you shouldn't take the name of the Lord God in vain. And I'm telling you, you're I'm telling you. When you don't follow the word of God, when you don't obey the word of God, that's taking the name of the Lord God in vain. I used to always think it was just using God's name as a cuss word. And you shouldn't do that either. But but when you don't act on his word, you're taking the name of the Lord God in vain. And if you have, run to him and tell him how sorry you are. And he's waiting on you to take that first step of restoration. So maybe you need that first step of restoration right here, right now. You need to run back to your first love. You know, for me, after I was born again, I had to, a few years into it, I had to be like, Lord, take me back to my day of salvation and start me all over and take everything out of me that was put into me, my man. You know, as Pastor Sarah's preaching last week, rewire. Lord, take me back to my salvation and rewire. Get me in tune with every frequency that's of you. And cast off these frequencies that are not of you. That's what he wants to do in your life today. That's what he wants to do for you today. You bet.

unknown 47:20

Okay, you can like.

SPEAKER_07 47:23

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Um, it hasn't been that long since uh the Lord saved me and I gave my life to the Lord uh 2023. Uh October of 2023. But as that day, when I came up out of the water that day, I heard God say, Love me, love me, you know, to love one another. That's God. God is love, and he said, to love one another, you know, like I have loved you. And yeah, I just let it pour out. This is not me that's doing all these things. And he it's done by grace. He gives me all the grace I need to go forward in his name. Yeah, it's not due to my own strength, it's because of him, because of his strength that I can do what I can do. Thank you, Lord. Yeah. It's all because of him, not because of me. I can do nothing without him. It's just because of him that I'm able to go forward. And thank you, Lord, that I'm able to have strength in my body to go forward. And he supplies all my strength. He is my number one.

SPEAKER_01 48:37

Amen. Amen. He is, he supplies all her needs. And Miss Pat's got some situations going on, but she would never know it by what just came out of her mouth. Because she stays focused on him and lets him take care of the situations that's going on in her life. Let him take care of the situations. That's how much he loves you. Amen. Do it and believe it. Praise you. Oh, Father, we praise you. Father, we thank you, Lord.

SPEAKER_07 49:38

And to lean on him for all everything. Thank you, for everything. He wants us to lean on him and trust in him. Because he's our great and mighty God that supplies all of our every need. Thank you, Lord God. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 49:59

Thank you, Lord God. Thank you, Lord, for your gifts, Lord. Lord, thank you, Lord. There's a frequency to your gifts, Lord. Thank you, Lord, them frequencies are running through the room right now, Lord. For the gifts of healings, of working of miracles. For prophecy, discernment, gift of faith. The gift of knowledge, the gift of wisdom. Gift of tongues, interpretation of tongues. Thank you, Lord. There's a frequency, Lord. Lord, and we stay tuned in on your frequency. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, as individuals in here are tuning in on your frequency of healing right now, Lord. Lord, as you're touching them, Lord, right now. Thank you, Lord, for the frequency that's healing the minds, Lord, right now, Lord. Thank you, Lord, for the frequencies that are healing the spirits, Lord, right now. Lord, we know a spirit can't be healed, Lord, but I'm saying for those that are surrendering their lives to you. That are giving their life to you, Lord. Because it was offered, Lord, at the beginning of service, Lord. And we know, Lord, that as many as received you, to them you gave the right to become children of God. So I thank you, Lord, for those right now that are confessing to you as Lord and believing in their heart that you raised them from the dead, Lord. For those right now that are being born again, healed, set free, and delivered. I thank you, Lord, for that. And if that was you, let us know. Let us know. I was saved in my grain bins by myself, 6 a.m. in the morning. Wasn't nobody else there. But it wasn't the grain bin that saved me. It was my surrender. I'm telling you, surrender to him today. Surrender, surrender your your life to him today, your spirit. Surrender your sickness to him today. Surrender your tormenting stuff that's going on with your mind. Surrender that to him today. I'm not leaving with it. I'm not leaving with it. I'm not leaving with this sickness in my body. I'm not leaving with this hate in my heart. It's a choice that you have to make. As for me and my house, we're serving the Lord. Praise you, Lord. Me and Sarah are in the same house. Right? We're in the house of the Lord. I mean, a lot of people live in the same house, but they're in different houses. And they sit there and praise you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, for the renewing of the minds. Thank you, Lord, for your yoke is easy and your burden is light. Thank you, Lord, that we can know the truth. And you are the way, the truth, and the life. Thank you, Lord, we can know the truth. Thank you, Lord, we can know you in the truth, and you'll make us free, Lord. Lord? Not hail Mary's or church attendance or making spaghetti for the salvation army. All good things. But it's the truth that makes you free. It's the truth that makes you free. Well, I want to be free. What can I do? Receive the truth. I don't feel like I've I'm doing enough to be saved. You never will. It's not what you've done. It's not what you're doing. It's what Christ did for you. It's receiving what He did for you. Yeah, but I'm not doing this and I'm not doing that. That's called condemnation. And there's no condemnation in Christ Jesus. So if you're hearing, I'm not doing this and I'm not doing that, then that's from the enemy. Your salvation is not based on what you're doing. It's based on what he did. It's based on what he did. It's based on, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but the world might be sozoed. Saved, healed, set free, delivered, and made whole. Thank you, Lord. Praise you, Lord. Lord, as we go out and minister your word this week. You have in you the power, you have the word, the power to change people's lives. And how are they going to hear without you? Heard a deal this morning when I was out at mom's, and God said, is working in his garden, had this beautiful garden. And uh he said, Wow, you know, God just, you know, what a beautiful garden God has provided. And he's like, Yeah, but you should have seen it before I got it. God does provide the flowers. God does provide the trees, God does provide the mulch. But if you don't plant flowers and trees and mulch and water, your your garden's not, you know, you can go out there and look at my garden. Look at it, you know. There is no such thing. I got faith people's gonna bring me stuff. Amen. Amen. But yeah, man, oh god, oh God, just give me a beautiful garden. Yeah, you should have seen it before I got it, just like you. Man, you're such a beautiful creation. Yeah, you know you should have seen me before God got a hold of me. So you're the garden, but you gotta pull weeds out of the garden. You gotta plant flowers, you gotta put the mulch in. Or get your husband to do it. You gotta trim the roses. You gotta act on the word of God. Father, we praise you. Father, we thank you, Lord, Lord, that we are acting on your word, Lord. We thank you for those that are being changed, Lord, from glory to glory, Lord. We thank you, Lord, for the new creations in Christ, Lord. For the old's gone. Behold, all things have become new. We praise you in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
