Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message. Turn with me, if you would. Let's go to Genesis chapter eight. We're just going to receive the expense offering for the meetings tonight. And Genesis chapter 8 and verse 22, you'll be well acquainted with this passage. Hallelujah. Genesis chapter 8. And verse 22, it reads, while the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat and summer and winter and day and night. Look at this. Shall not see. So couldn't we just say, read it this way and still be correct? While the earth remaineth, seed, time and harvest shall not cease. Seed, time and harvest. Notice it doesn't say seed time will not cease. It says seed, time and harvest. We have no right disconnecting what God connected. God joined harvest with seed time. It's not just seed time. It's seed time and harvest. And if I could say it this way, we call it this, the law of sowing and reaping. Know this. It's a law. Why it will not cease. It's God's law. And if I would say this, it's to be good at sowing, we have to be good at reaping. Because the law is not complete with just one aspect. And we have to realize, to resist reaping or to. If I could say this, when it's time to receive and people say, oh, I have a hard time receiving, don't break the law. Don't break the law. The law is sowing and reaping. Sowing and reaping. Amen. When God says reaping, it's because he's after your increase. He's not just after your seed, he's after your increase. Because the reaping comes after the sowing. And he wants you to trust him enough to sow. Because on the other end of sowing is reaping. Amen. Does anybody remember teeter totters? Do they have teeter totters today or they playground so padded up today, nobody has all that. Okay. I remember in Olustee, maybe a couple hundred people in the town before I lived in Altus and we had a teeter totter at the olustee elementary school. One would get on the other end, one on the other. If the other one jumped off. Anybody remember the one jumping off? You crashed hard. And then they'd laugh, right? They would jump off and just laugh. Leave you to crash. God does not leave you to crash. He balances out your seed time. With your harvest so that there's no financial imbalance. Amen. God doesn't want you falling to the ground hard. Why he said, you sow and I guarantee you on the other end of that is reaping for us. Amen. And so if we resist the receiving side, we're resisting the law of God. And that's disobedience. And God can't bless disobedience. Amen. It won't bless us to be law breakers. Amen. To be good at sowing but not to be good at receiving is still a mentality of poverty. There are some people who love to give. They're generous. And I would dare to say most people that I ever get to meet in the body of Christ, they're ready to give. They've been taught they're generous at sowing. But I have met many who said, you know what? I don't mind sowing, but I just have a hard time. I just have a hard time when somebody wants to give me something. Receiving that, well, that's still poverty. Yes, it is. No matter how good we are at giving, if we're not just as good at harvesting, at receiving, it's a poverty mentality. And God doesn't just want us good. We don't want to come in here and just talk to you about sowing. We want you to receive on the other end of what belongs to you. Amen. It's a law. And not only that, it's God's law. My dad was a cotton and wheat farmer. Every time he sowed a seed, he sowed it because he expected something to happen on the other end of that sowing. Amen. He intended to reap. He never intended just to sow. So many times people just say, I want to be a blessing. Yes, be a blessing, but reap the harvest off of being a blessing. Because it's a two sided blessing. Faith is to go two directions in the sowing and in the receiving. Amen. My dad never went out to his field and saw a huge harvest and said, you know what, that's just too much for me. That's just too much money. That's just too much cotton, that's just too much wheat, that's just too much. He never walked out and said, that's just too much. And you know what? When he saw that big harvest, he never said, you know, I haven't read my Bible enough to receive this harvest, I haven't prayed enough to receive this big harvest, or I haven't done enough good things to receive this harvest. No, no, no. He never judged his harvest based on works. Amen. A farmer would never, never think, you know, I just want to be a blessing to the ground, so I'm going to sow some seed, but I can't receive. I can't receive. I just can't. You know, I just can't. No one has ever heard me say, I have a problem receiving. From the time I was little, there has never been something in me that thought, see, somebody else should have it, but not me. My thought was, if somebody else can have it, I can have it, too.
- [06:49]
B
Yeah.
- [06:49]
A
Amen. Let's just be honest about it. I like stuff. I like stuff. No one has ever given me something. I go, oh, I shouldn't receive that. I go, oh, praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Not a mooch mentality, but I am fluent at receiving, just like I'm fluent at giving. I'm quick to give and I'm quick to receive because God blesses us through the hands of men. And it's not a handout, it's a harvest. Amen. Praise the Lord. So let's say this. We want this week complete the cycle of God's law. Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping. God knows nothing about sowing without reaping. The Word knows and talks of nothing of sowing without reaping. Amen. Don't abort the cycle by refusing when God wants to bless you. You got that microphone there, Morgan, Where's David? Where are. Come up here. I want you to tell. Would you mind telling about your dad how God tried to. Yeah, wherever you want to do it. How God. You looked back and at the things God tried to get to your dad.
- [08:05]
C
When my dad was pastoring, what I remember I was born in 61. So pretty much my earliest memories are, you know, I guess around 66, maybe. With that five, six, seven years old, we grew up Church of God. Anybody else? Church of God? You're not ashamed of it? Just pretty much old line Pentecostal, you know, Church of God, assembly of God. That kind of background, particularly in that day, preachers were considered more spiritual the poorer they were.
- [08:39]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [08:39]
C
In our denomination. I love them dearly. I'm so thankful for so many good things I got from them. They can't spell prosperity back then, decades ago, and they sure didn't practice it. Here's what Pastor Nancy was referring to time and time again. The Lord was trying to give my dad stuff, and he wouldn't take it. He'd say, oh, No, I can't do that. I'll give you a couple quick examples. We this. Oh yes, it would have been. I remember the. It was 66 because we had a 1964 green Rambler Station wagon without air conditioning power, nothing. And you know, the shade of green. All green cars were the same. Plastic seats, no air condition, power, power, nothing. And so a lady in our church, Sister Beulah Cook, I'll never forget it, she had a white four door Lincoln Continental.
- [09:37]
A
Oh yeah.
- [09:37]
C
Now those are. If I say suicide doors, do y' all know what I'm talking about? Where the, the hinges?
- [09:44]
B
I love these guys.
- [09:45]
C
I know it.
- [09:45]
A
I know. Classic heart.
- [09:47]
C
Okay, so Sister Beulah Cook said, pastor Ellis, the Lord wants me to give you my Lincoln. I'll take your Rambler now I'm not going to keep your Rambler. I don't blame her. But I'm going to take your Rambler and I'm going to trade it in on a new Lincoln. But what did he say? I didn't catch what he said.
- [10:08]
A
That's my Jesus.
- [10:10]
C
I know it was Jesus all day long. And I wish I could tell you we rode into Lincoln, but we did not because my dad said, I can't, I can't.
- [10:20]
A
He broke the law.
- [10:22]
C
I can't receive that. I can't receive that from you. What would the people think? I'm like, you know, I'm five years old, but believe it or not, I was such a car guy for, you know, I used to take windshield wipers in the shower with me and put the shower head on the wall and do this. I could go a car stor for days. They couldn't drag me out of the shower because I took my windshield wipers in there. And so there was property that the Lord tried to give my dad. It started with cars, then a few years later became property. And he never could take it all the way to, let's see, what church was he pastoring about 70, 78, 79. And there's a man called from central Florida and he was. Those were the days where full gospel businessmen's meetings were just hot on fire, you know. And you had very prosperity minded businessmen that wanted to support the ministry. And they liked my dad, they liked his music and they liked my uncle's and you know, heard about blah, blah, blah. And so he said, I have a piece of property and I want to build you a television studio and I want to put you on tv. What do you think? My dad said? So the point of it, he was trying to get him to start with a car.
- [11:50]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [11:51]
C
Because television was coming, because the more was coming. So the gentleman was very nice. He said, are you sure you can't take it? My dad said, I'm just a pastor of this church. I'm just the. He could not. He could not get a hold that there was so much more for him. And if I'm being honest, which of course I would be, he considered it almost above him, beyond him. And it would be a lack of humility to take something of that magnitude. And so the guy called. Anybody ever heard of Rex Humbard? So he called brother Rex Humbart in Akron, Ohio, and said, would you like to start a branch down here? Well, what do you think, brother? Brother Humbart did not have a problem receiving. The point of it is that God was trying to give him things over and over and over again, and he just couldn't receive it.
- [12:50]
A
He wouldn't.
- [12:51]
C
He wouldn't. Better said, yeah, he went, I sure wish he had, but praise the Lord, I've decided to reap whatever harvest he left on the table. So if you have a 1966 Lincoln that you want to get off your hands with suicide doors, I will meet you in the foyer after service.
- [13:13]
A
Can I tell you this? When we sow, there's a harvest. Yes. And can I tell you this? A spiritual harvest doesn't rot. My dad, if he left a crop in the field too long, it would ruin. A spiritual harvest doesn't rot. And I have lineage on both sides of preachers that no doubt had much of the same mentality that David talks about with his dad, because that was prevalently talked about in thought, a way of thinking. And I've said to God, God, all those generations of Methodist circuit writer preachers that sowed their lives, sowed so much into the body of Christ and into this earth, and never knew how to receive. I said, their harvest has not rotted. And your word says we can reap where we have not sown. So I choose to reap the harvest that's left in the field of their abundance. Amen. Call it in. I don't care that the people are long gone in heaven. The reward, the harvest, is still available. To what? To faith. To faith. Amen. So when I'm talking tonight, ministering about your giving, I don't want to just focus tonight especially on the giving. We know about giving. I want us to walk out with a mentality that agrees with God's blessing plan. Don't jump off the. Don't just think God's going to jump off the teeter totter and let you fall to financial ruin. He's not. Amen. He's balanced out our sowing with our reaping. Now we sow in faith. And I know this, that my dad on purpose had to sow that cottonseed, that wheat into the field. But at harvest time, it just did not show up back in his barn because he sowed it. He had to have faith to sow it, but he also had to have faith to reap it. When you sow, you sow in faith. But can I tell you this? You have to use your faith to reap. It won't just automatically show back up in your barn. You use your faith and you say, father, I've sowed and I've obeyed God. Now, what's the Word say in Galatians 6, 9? I'll just read it to you. You know this verse? It says, let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap. Not God, we shall reap. How are we going to reap? By faith, in due season we shall reap. What's this? If we faint not. How many of you know saying, I can't receive that? That's fainting. Your faith is fainting. What is due season? It says, we'll reap in due season. When is due season? When the harvest is ripe. Well, how do we know when our harvest is ripe? We don't, but the Holy Ghost does. If you will follow his leading, he'll tell you when to reap it by faith. Amen. Let me give you an illustration. I want to read to you. First, Mark 4:28. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself. First the blade, then the ear. After that, the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in his sickle, because the harvest is come. What's this talking about the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. It shows this, that it's a process. Once you sow, let your seed go through the process. That process can be so accelerated and so different from the ordinary course of nature. Jesus went to a wedding, remember that? And they said, they've run out of wine. That's bad news, that the wine ran out at the wedding. And so he said, mary comes and says, whatsoever he says to you, do it. He tells them, fill up the water pots with water. And what happens from the time they fill up the water pots with water till the time it's taken to the governor? Of the feast. Something divine happened. Molecular structure changed. Nobody planted a grape seed. Nobody watered it, watched it grow. Nobody harvested the grapes. Nobody fermented the grapes. This faith process bypassed the laws of nature.
- [18:13]
B
Amen.
- [18:14]
A
Amen. Amen. So how did he know to do that? By the leading of the Spirit. The Spirit of God told him what to do. How are you going to know when it's due season? By the leading of the Spirit. So what's that mean? Sow a seed and pray in the Holy Ghost. Sow a seed and pray in the Holy Ghost. Sow a seed and pray in the Holy Ghost. Because it will make you sensitive to the Spirit's leading of saying, now it's time to reap and you release your faithful. There's a pastor friend of mine, and he was believing for an airplane. He had his eye on a particular airplane and he had enough money in the account to purchase it. And I think it was around maybe 300, $350,000. And it was a small. I don't know if it was a single engine or what, but it was a smaller aircraft and he had the money for it. He got ready to purchase it. And as he's getting ready to go purchase it, the small, the spirit of God said, don't reap it when it's just a blade. That's good.
- [19:14]
D
That's good.
- [19:15]
A
Wait for the full ear in the corn. The full corn, the whole thing. In other words, what happens first the blade. What's that mean? You start seeing. You start seeing movement. You start sensing something's close. Something's close. You can sense when God has a new business for you, a new home for you. You can sense when things are breaking ground. That blade is breaking ground. First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. And God said to him, you're ready to harvest when it's only a blade and you're going to cheat your harvest if you take it. Now, in other words, don't become impatient. If the Holy Ghost says, hang on, hang on. Don't just take the first thing you see. Go by in the spirit. Go by what your spirit is leading you to do. I mean, the day he was getting ready to sign the contract, and the spirit of God said, if you sign that, you're going to be cheating your harvest and reaping a blade. So he said, don't do anything yet. Now, see, it looked like he's getting. He's bypassing what he wanted. It looks like he's giving up something. He's not giving up something. God's telling him, wait the process out. Due season, due season. Don't do it prematurely before due season. How do you know when it's due season? The spirit of God will let you know. You have to follow the spirit. And so one day he got a call several months later, and a man in his church said, pastor, I have a gift to give to the aviation department. And he brought in a check for half a million dollars, not even touching the pastor's money he had set aside. Brought in a check for half a million dollars, and he went and bought a better plane because he waited for due season, the full corn in the earth. Amen. If we practice not receiving, we're not going to be skillful. When God has a greater harvest down the road for us at receiving. Just as you have to practice walking by faith, you practice living in peace, you practice walking in love, you have to practice receiving. Why? Because the devil will always tell you why. You don't deserve it. This is not about what we deserve. This is about what Jesus provided. And he says that our seed will produce a harvest for us. Amen. So let's get rid of words like, I shouldn't. I can't receive that because that is still poverty. Don't break the law. It's the law of sowing and reaping. If we haven't reaped, we're breaking the law because it's sowing, sowing and reaping. It's not sow, sow, sow, sow, sow. And then feel bad that someone blessed you with something. And sometimes God will have you. You know, I've been in 40 years of ministry now. And over the years, people have given me wonderful things, precious things. And when they've given it to me, I thought, oh, this is my harvest. And the Holy Ghost said, no, that's your seed. Are you sure? Because have you looked at this? Have you seen this on my hand? I remember Ed and I, first. We hadn't been married very long, and Lindsay Roberts walked up to me in a meeting and said, God told me to give you this. And she gave me her diamond anniversary ring that Brother Richard had just bought her. And I look at that thing and I go, oh, Jesus loves me. This I know for this ring. It tells me so. And she walked off. And within three minutes, God said, that's not for keeping. That's for sowing. And I go.
- [23:26]
B
Oh, I love you, Jesus.
- [23:33]
A
And a few weeks later, he and I waited. Who do I give it to? I'm listening. And he told me who to sow it, too, the other day. Oh, I love. I'm telling you, ever since I saw Pastor's World Series ring, I mean, it's just been a hook in me. I mean, I like big. And I'm not talking about your ring. I'm just saying it stirred me. It stirred me. Okay. Yeah. I'm not okay. So, Bear, my grandson, I was at Southwest Believers. I preached on a Tuesday and a Thursday. The Thursday I was preach. He came to my hotel room and he said, nanny, he said, have you seen what ring, Bear? What ring? The Rams World Series ring. I said, no, baby. Super Bowl. Excuse me? He said, have you seen the Rams super bowl ring? And I said, no, baby. And he starts trying to describe it. And I said, well, let's pull it up. I mean, on the Internet. Let's look at this thing. He said, nanny, it opens, you know, and it opens, and there's a stadium inside. And I said, I looked at that. And that thing, it's got sparkle all over it. And it's a man's. If a man can have that.
- [24:47]
D
Who.
- [24:47]
A
Really doesn't like sparkle. So I said to Bear, I said, bear, sit. We need a Super bowl ring. We just need a Super bowl ring. And I said, they had to work for theirs. Let's buy one for us. We can buy one. We can buy. I just meant something big and gaudy. Something big and knuckle. To knuckle, you know, like weaponry. You know, some people like guns. That's great. But some people like sparkle. That's great. So I said, we need a Super bowl ring. So that day I preached that afternoon service, and they had me doing a book signing. And this precious lady came up and she pulled out of her pocket and she handed me something, and she said, pastor Nancy, this is for you. She said, I designed this. And I looked at that, and Bear was standing there. He said, nanny, it's your super bowl ring. It was a Super bowl ring. I mean, not the size. It went over three fingers from here to here. Solid, larger diamonds, not chips, like faceted. And I looked at that and go, harvest. Harvest. I know this is my harvest. I know this is my harvest. Because some things are a seed and some things are a harvest. And I called it harvest. I called it. I called it harvest. So I'm gonna go preach about two weeks later. And I thought, I'm gonna tell them the testimony. And the thing is, I have no doubt when Bear said, he talked about that super bowl rings, see, God had something in mind. For you. But he's got to get your words. He'll do things to get you saying. Remember what Jesus said to blind Bartimaeus? He knew he's blind. He said, what do you want? What do you want? And he said that I might receive my sight. It's not because Jesus didn't know it. It's because he had to get his words to get his permission. He got him saying words. So when Bear came to my room, we said words, super bowl ring. And within just a couple hours, super bowl ring, baby. Super bowl ring. So I'm telling the. I'm going to take it to a particular. I always tell everything, you know, personal stories, all that. And so I go there and I'm getting ready. You were there, Pastor, weren't you there? Yes, I was. And so I'm getting ready. I'm figuring out how I'm going to just share the story. And right before, while they're introducing me, the spirit of God said, when you get up there, give that ring to such and such Pastor. I go, I could have left it in the hotel. That's my harvester. I thought it was my harvest. But see, due season, due season. How do you know what's due season? The spirit of God will tell you. See, I was telling the spirit of God, this is harvest. But he's got to say it. Precious. Precious. Pastor, friends of mine in that service and they had a great tragedy that happened two years ago. It was the anniversary of that tragedy. I walked over and God said, tell him I'm thinking about him. And there's that ring. She cried, he cried. And I mean, it's just massive. I talked to her the other day. She said, I wear it every day. I wouldn't have worn it every day. She wore it every day. And I said, God, that was my super bowl ring. So just, I'm telling you, a testimony about sowing and sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping, that what we think is our harvest. God calls it a seed. And sometimes people don't recognize their harvest and they bypass their harvest. They decline it. So just this last week we were with. We were. Had our ladies conference before we came here. And Reba Rambeau, I don't know if you know who she is, she was there and in the back room, she said, nancy, I wanted to bring you something. She said, you know my mom, Dottie, I said, yes. She said, I wanted to bring you something that was hers. And she brought me this, this little sparkle thing. She said, she wore it all the time I said, father, there's my harvest. It has a history to it. Amen. God never sees a seed that he doesn't see a harvest. Every time you sow a seed, see a harvest in that seed. But what happens if you say, I can't? That house is too nice, that business is too big, that's too many customers. No, no. Practice receiving. Because if we're not skilled at receiving, no telling what we won't be ready to grab hold of. Dad Hagin talks about how the car of his dreams and people say, well, you're just talking about stuff. No, I'm not. I'm talking about a mindset. I'm talking about a renewed mind in the direction of sowing and reaping, because this is God's law and I'm using the things we can see to illustrate it. But dad Hagin, for years he drove these used cars that weren't always reliable and he always wanted a Cadillac. The first time he ever got a brand new Cadillac not used, about three weeks later, he said his ministry hit a hard place financially and he was sitting at home lamenting the fact that he had put so much money out to buy this brand new Cadillac. And he said, I was sitting in my den thinking, I'll just call the dealership and ask them if they'll take it back. And when he's thinking that Jesus appeared to him and stood in front of him and Jesus asked him a question and said, do you know what kind of car I want you to have? And he said, no, what kind of car do you want me to have? He says, I want you to have the kind of car you want. And you say, you mean Jesus appeared to dad Hagin over a car? No, he appeared to him over a way of thinking. Because dad Hagin's voice has been spoken into this generation and many generations. And he needed him thinking, right? Because the way we're taught is the way we'll respond. Amen. So let's not pass on a depression era mentality. Let's not pass on we might have struggled when we were young. Don't pass that on because that season's over for faith. Amen. Well, praise the Lord. Sowing and reaping, it's God's law. And to only take the sowing and not have faith, for the reaping is to break and we can't be blessed breaking God's laws. Amen. Well, praise the Lord. What am I saying? Release your faith tonight. Once you give your seed, release your faith and be bold. To receive and say, of course I expect to receive. I expect to receive. Amen. It's not a struggle for me. I expect to receive because that's what way I please God when I fulfill his laws. Amen. If you were not here this morning and you didn't hear Pastor Chip's message, I urge you, go to their website or go to their YouTube page. Are those the places it's posted? You must hear it. So important. And basically he was talking about a visitation from God that he had. And God talked to him about the place of rejoicing, that that moves us into receiving the manifestation of what we've already received with our hearts. You have to receive your answer in its invisible form. And when you do, how do you do that? Only with your heart, not with your mind. But when you receive it, while your answer is yet invisible, then God can minister manifested. But how do we take hold of what's invisible? By rejoicing. That is an act of faith. That's the response of faith. That's an expression of faith. And so, so good what he was talking about. Anytime we turn his direction, we are now in a place to where we can move forward. Amen. There was a pastor friend of mine. He used to for a while be an instructor at healing school at dad Hagin's at Rhema. And he got up to minister during one of the sessions one time. And as he got up to minister, he had a vision. And in that class when he was ministering there, you had to be sick to even be present in the room. It wasn't just open to attenders. It was geared toward the sick. And so you had to be sick or accompanying someone who needed healing. And he said, he looked out across that congregation and God opened his eyes and he saw the spirit realm and he saw the people like this, this holding onto their bodies. And he said, God, what am I seeing? And he said, they're holding on to their sickness. And this minister said to God, he said, God, they're in healing school. They didn't come to healing school to hold onto their sickness. They came because they know healing is available and they've come to receive healing. And God said, this, this is key. What they have their minds on is what they're attending to. And what they're attending to is what they're holding to. In other words, this is the importance of worship services because. Or the worship part of the service. Service musically, because it helps us to take our attention off of that, off the need, off the need, off the need. And on to the answer. Because until our tension shifts, faith isn't working. Faith can only be occupied with one thing. What God says. When you need a miracle, we don't have anything, any room, except for what God says. Even what your body says. You can't. You can't. You can't hold. We can't hold our attention on the need and lay hold of the answer. So thank God for this flow of the service because it helps us to let go in our attention. Proverbs 4, verse 20. My son, attend to my words. This word, attend, attention. Put your attention on my words. Notice he goes on and he says in the. In the next verse, he says, for my words are life 1. The Hebrew. The Hebrew actually says medicine to all their flesh. All their flesh. Notice this. His Word performs like medicine. His Word performs. Just like you may take a treatment by the doctor. And it performs. His Word performs like medicine, but only when it has our full attention. It can't perform as medicine. When our tension's on our body, our need, our symptoms, our opposition, everything of our victory is tied to our attention. Because our faith goes where our tension is. People had no idea that your miracle is easy as the shift of your tension. It's as easy as that said about In Romans, chapter four. It said about Abraham. He considered not his own body. What's that mean? His attention was not on his need. His attention was not on his body. Why? Because his answer was not going to originate in his body. Hold your attention on the platform place. Your answer originates from. No one who needs healing. You can't have your attention on your body. Why? Because healing doesn't flow from your body. The body's the recipient of healing, not the source of it. It's the recipient of healing, it's not the source of it. We hold our attention on the source. The source of life, the source of health. His healing word. Amen. And so I encourage you, whatever needs you may have this week or any time, any day, even after these meetings, know this. God invites us to a better place to look. It's all about what our attention is on. Attend to my words. Attend to my words. Attend to my words. Why? Because other things want your attention. They will fight for your attention. And it takes skill. When you can feel so much opposition on the mind and the body, it takes skill to hold your attention on God. Think about it. When God's people going through the wilderness, and one day poisonous serpents came in and bit them. A quarter of a million dropped dead in one day. A quarter of a Million. And the remedy was Moses put a serpent on a pole and everyone who looks, everyone who looks on the pole shall live. The amplified says something like this, with a steady, absorbing gaze. Meaning they have to turn away from the dead people at their feet. They have to turn away from the spouse dying right there. They have to turn away from the child that died, from the daddy that died, from the mama that died. And they have to put their attention on their answer, not on their opposition. And those who looked, lived. What's that mean? Where our attention goes determines what our life looks like. So it's a practice, it's a skill we have to have of turning our attention. Philippians 4. You can be seated, if you would, but don't unhook because I'm still going. Philippians 4, verse 19. You know the verse. Many think it's simply a financial verse, and it certainly is that. But I want you to see something. Y' all keep going. Y' all can. The singers can be seated. Just the musicians, if you would. Keep going. But my God shall supply all your need. All. All your need. According to his, according to his. Not according to yours, according to his. And his is in you. It's not about God getting. Getting you to. Getting you. Getting God to send his down. His is in you. But I want you to see the order of heaven in that verse. My God shall supply your need. What's that mean? Need is listed last. God's listed first. And in between is the supply. God, supply need. But in the mind of most believers, it's needed first. My need. My need. My need. This verse is to turn us supply minded. Not need minded, supply minded. So that no matter what the need shows up, I have a supply for that. My God, My God, My God, not my need. My God, not my need. My God. If we get those things out of order in emphasis, we're going to lose the order. Heaven, my God shall supply all. Supply all. All my need. The supply annihilates the need. And the supply came from God himself. And in the minds of many. They're letting the need override the supply. Supply in their thinking, in their attention. But I want you to know the devil doesn't want you to know that your miracle is as easy as redirecting your attention. Dad Hagin talks about many of us are acquainted with the healing of his heart, the incurable blood condition. But not many know some other layers of that healing that happened. He said he had anywhere from five to eight heart attacks a day laying on that DeathBed. Anywhere from five to eight heart attacks a day. And he said when those heart attacks would come, he would grab hold of the spindles on the headboard, a wooden headboard. And he said, I was laying there holding on to those spindles to hold on to this realm, to life. Because he said, I was afraid I was going to die and I was holding on to living. And he said, I held on so much that I wore the varnish off those spindles. But when God dealt with him, when he read Matthew, chapter 6, verse, verse 25, when Jesus said, take no thought for your life, he said God began dealing with him about this sin of worry, that he had to quit thinking about his body. And I'm not going to go into all that sermon, because that's a whole nother sermon. But the day he committed to God, I'll never worry again. God did not deal with him about healing until he dealt with him about the sin of worry. He had no idea he could be healed when he was reading Matthew 6:25. And God said, this is the verse, take no thought for your life. And he struggled with that for three months because he was a worrier. He said, I'd worried myself on that deathbed nearly half to death. And he said, and I saw in this scripture, I can't take my. I take no thought for I can't think about my body anymore. What's God doing? Redirect your attention. It looked hard, but it was the easy flow. God was trying to get him in the hard flow is trying to hold on to life with your own ability. Try to get healed with your own ability. Try to change things in your own ability. That's the hard flow. God's trying to get us in the easy flow. What is that? Take no thought. Take no thought. Take no thought for your life. What's he saying? Don't worry. Dad Hagin taught us. What's wor. How do you know if you're worrying if you're thinking about it? How do you know if you're worrying if you're thinking about it? What's that mean? If your tension's on it? If your tension is on it. So it took three months for dad Hagin as a young man to agree to Matthew 6:25 took him six months. Well, that would take a while when you didn't even know you could be healed, but you can't even worry about your body. Why did God not talk to him about healing first? Because if he would have received healing power but continued the sin of worry, he would have lost his healing. So God dealt with him first about the real problem that was closing the door to the power of God. Worry. Closing power of God. What our attention is on is determining what we're going to receive. So people don't realize this when they worry. God's power is not withheld, but we close the door so it can't reach our need. God does not send power, withhold power, send power, withhold power. Power is always flowing. But worry is the door of the dam that will not let that source come in. It stops it. God never withholds. You remove that worry and that power is still flowing. And you can receive the moment you stop worrying. And so dad Hagin laying on that bed after three months of God dealing with him about take no thought for your life, after three months, he agreed. Now I tell you what, as a 15 year old, that's something you don't even know you can be healed. You think you have to die as a 15 year old, but you commit to God, I will not worry about that. That's the help of God. So the day he committed, father, I commit to you, I'll never worry another day as long as I live. And he said that same day, remember he was having five to eight heart attacks a day. That same day a heart attack came after he committed that. And he went to grab hold of the spindles on that headboard and he recognized that's worry. Most people don't recognize worry because it has become a flow of their daily thought life. And until they recognize it, part of the skill of faith is recognizing what isn't faith. Now listen to me. Part of the skill of faith is recognizing what isn't faith. We talk about what is faith, but what isn't faith.
- [48:03]
D
Faith.
- [48:04]
A
Faith is not a worrier. And every time we worry, we injure our faith, we weaken our faith. So dad Hagin think of it as a 15 year old recognized going to grab hold of those spindles on that headboard. He recognized that as an act of worry. That's, that's impressive. But he recognized it and he let go because see, he's worrying about dying. Can I tell you what? If you're thinking about the future, that's worry. If you're thinking about the past, of what went wrong, that's worry. Recognize it. You don't have to get free from your past when you can just forget it. You say I can't under the blood, you can. When we talk about the past, we update it to the present. When we think about the past, we update it to the present. People say, I got to talk it out. When you talk it out, you're letting it in. You're not letting it out, you're letting it in. It's going deeper, deeper and deeper into that soulish arena and entrenching people. You don't get rid of the wrong thing by talking it. You get rid of the wrong thing by pouring in the right thing. Pour in. It's. Isn't it so good to know I don't have to get rid of this addiction. I don't have to get rid of this problem. I don't have to get rid of something sickness. I don't have to get rid of these things that have tried to trouble my past. No, just pour in the right thing. Pour in the right thing and it will wash out the wrong thing. Focus on pouring in what's right instead of trying to get out what's wrong. Because what your attention is on is what's flowing. If your attention is on getting rid of something, all it does is embed it. But if your attention is on pouring in the word. Pouring in the word. Pouring in the word. Jesus said, now are you made clean through my word? John, chapter 15, verse three. Now are you made clean? What's that mean? The more you pour the word in, the more it just keeps cleaning out those arteries, cleaning out those memories of the past, cleaning out that offense. Spotlighting things you need to get rid of instead of having your attention attention on. God gave us the easy flow. Don't get things out of you. Pour things into you. Pour what into you? The word. Pour the word in. Pour the thoughts of the word. How do you do that? By having your attention on it. Yeah, it's just as easy as your attention. What you do with your thought life is where your faith is going. Some people are trying to get rid of things and all they need to do is get their attention off of it. Jesus showed us how to do it two times. It's recorded that he did it in the wilderness of temptation once, but with Peter another time. Jesus was telling him what was going to happen to him in the future. And Peter pulled him aside and said, not you. That's not going to happen. Jesus recognized the words of the enemy in the mouth of a friend. And he said, get thee behind me, Satan. And he turned his back as a sign. You don't get my attention. Those words will not land in me. And he turned his whole body physically to demonstrate not going in me. Why? Things go in you from here, not from back Here. Out of your belly shall flow rivers of lips protect your belly. You turn your back to threats. You turn your back to the past. You turn your back to wrong feelings. You turn your back to unforgiveness. You turn your back to those things and say, you're not getting in me. You're not getting in me. Jesus, he turned his whole body to demonstrate spiritually what was happening. You're not getting in me. Those words will not land in me. Turning my attention away from you and turned his whole back to him to let him know my attention is not with you. People are struggling with their faith. When it just gets your attention on the right thing, your faith will be there. Your faith will be there. So dad Hagin, he's laying on the bed that day, he has committed to God, I'll never worry again. And he recognized by him trying to hold on to life is worry. Because when death comes, you can't sustain yourself, only God can. And he made this statement within himself. He said, well, I'm going to let her go. Because he said, even if I die. Because that's what the devil said, you're going to die. You're going to die. He said, even if I die, at least I know where I'm going. And he let go. People don't know. But from that day, he never had another heart attack from that day, he never had another heart attack on that deathbed. Why he got his attention off that, people are saying so much of the time, pastor, help me, Pastor Chip, help me, Pastor Candace, help me, I'm trouble. Get your attention off of it. Something that's not watered can't live. Our attention is watering needs when it needs to be receiving of supply. Put your attention on the supply. Take your attention off the need. My God shall supply. My God shall supply all my need. Before the need is ever mentioned, God is mentioned and the supply is mentioned. So what's the need? What's the need? When God already is in front of it and the supplies in of front front of it? There's a divine order of the words in that verse. God supplies. So by the time you got to the need, God's already shown up and so is the supply. What's that mean? When a need shows up, says, God's already got a supply for this. God's already got a supply. God's already got a supply. God's already got a supply for this. God's already got a supply for this. But people hold their attention on the need, thank you, Lord. And they've ignored God and the supply to hold their attention on the need to worry is to forget God. To fear is to forget God. Well, I'm not trying to forget him. No, but if our attention goes to the wrong thing, that's what happens. Remember what I said? God showed that minister in healing school what their attention is on is what they're holding to. They came to receive healing, but they weren't going to receive until they got their attention on healing and off their body. It says about Abraham, he considered not his own body. You can't even consider you, boy, That's a big deal. He considered not his own body. How about this? Consider not your own opinion, Consider not your own reasonings, consider not your own emotions. But they hurt my feelings. Consider not your feelings and then they won't be hurt. This generation lives by feelings. That's younger, not us older people. This younger generation, it's all about their feelings. And it's entrenched in the culture and in social media and all that. If they get proper attention. My mother never gave me attention when I did it right. The attention came when I did it wrong. That way I didn't live by being coddled, petted. You say you think I'm meddling now? No, this is about faith. Because faith, people don't pay attention and coddle their feelings. They don't coddle whether they get recognized. They don't coddle the flesh. My son was. My oldest son was telling me about, I don't know, some musician that's from another country. And I mean, it's a third World country. And he said, in our country, depression is a luxury. Because he said, you can't stay at home and hole up in a bedroom or you starve. There you go. You're welcome here. We give them pills and give them days off and give them paid leave for sick days because they're depressed. We pay it. We reward it, boy. The room is silent. I tell you what, the Word will put a crowbar up your back spiritually. You set your face like flint, is what the word says, and you don't change. Amen. You hold fast. You hold fast. In Matthew 7, there were two houses. Matthew 7:25. Two houses. Both heard the word. They represent two men's lives, two lives of men. It represents two different lives. They both heard the Word, but one built their life on it and the other one didn't. The wind came to both of them. I remember I was going through a test. This is in my 20s. That was what, my goodness. Almost 40 years ago. I Don't mind telling it. I mean, I wear it. And I said to God after I'd gone through a test, because I said to him, I feel like I have been beat on. It's like somebody got me in a corner. And it wasn't physical. It was strictly spiritual. It felt like every devil in hell had found my address. And I'm not a worrier. My temperament is not bent toward that. But it's another thing to say, I'm not a worrier. When devils are on the scene, you gotta be skillful, not just with temperament, but now in the face of opposition. And so I said to God, I said, I feel like someone's gotten me in a corner and has beat on me. That's the way I feel. And he spoke to me and he spoke. Matthew, chapter 7, verse 25. He said, feeling the beating is simply the fourth stage of the storm. And I go, what are you talking about? And he took me over to there. He said, it's the fourth and final stage of the storm. He said, in that passage, the winds.

Blew.

A
The rains came, the winds blew, the floods came and beat the rain descended, the winds blew, the flood came and beat on both of them. Just because you love God doesn't mean the house doesn't feel the beating. Now, what was my problem? My attention was on the beating. That's the problem. And I said to God, I thought that if I was in faith, I wouldn't feel the beating. He said, both houses felt it. Both houses felt it. It's not. Not feeling something. It's the outcome after the storm is over. He said, what determines which house was the victorious house? Well, it was still standing. The one was still standing. He said, are you still standing? I said, yes. He said, then what's your problem? I wanted to not feel something. My problem was my attention was on what I felt instead of, I'm founded. I'm founded on this rock. Ignore what you feel. That's what I'm. Ignore what you feel. Because what you're supported by can stand that word being a door of the word. Amen. Hallelujah. My problem was all my attention was on the storm instead of on the word that was holding up everything. Well, praise the Lord, So it said. But Abraham considered not his own, his own body. See, I had wrong thinking. I thought if my faith was working that I wouldn't feel this. But God said to me, the house that was on the rock still felt the storm. Just stay in the house and have a party. You know, when the power would go out in altus. That's a good time. Well, we didn't have devices, so it didn't matter if we had power or not. But I mean, that's when the family would stay in, play games. Mother would pull out stuff and we would eat like we fat. It was party time. When the power went out, slumber. I mean, candles were. It was a good time. When the storm comes, have a good time. Your house isn't coming down. Your house isn't coming down. The devil wants you to think because there's a storm on, the house is coming down. That's not true. That's not true. And just because you feel the storm doesn't mean that your house is coming down. So ignore. Ignore. Skill has a faith, has a great big ignore button. And you better find it. Said so. Abraham, consider not his own. His own. Your own body, your own mind, your own feelings, your own emotions. Abraham, consider not his own body. Look at this. Neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb. In other words, he didn't consider what was his. And he didn't consider who he was married to. He didn't consider what he lived with. He didn't consider her condition. He didn't consider somebody else's need. How many times when we've needed a miracle, the devil has paraded the failures of others who did not receive their miracle. And all of a sudden, for the last 20 years, we remember everybody who didn't receive their answer. And we hadn't even thought of those people since we graduated from high school. But all of a sudden, we could remember their family and what happened to them. We couldn't remember their name, but we know them. The devil will parade the failures of others. It's our own time to parade God's goodness and mercy that we've seen him do time and time again over and over. Amen. So he considered not his own body. If you look at somebody else who didn't receive what they said they were believing for, it'll weaken your faith. Why? Because you don't know what went on between their spirit and God. You don't know the dealings of God in the middle of the night with them. You don't know how many times God has said sent words across their paths and they were not receptive toward it. You don't know how many times the Holy Ghost tried to intervene and they didn't recognize it or they didn't go with it. I can't answer for what somebody does or does not receive. But between me and God, it's Victory. Between me and God, it's victory.
- [65:10]
B
Amen.
- [65:11]
A
Why? Because I'm going to listen. You're going to listen. We're going to be doers of the Word. Amen. I found out this. There's never been a tragedy and a heartbreak that the Holy Ghost hasn't tried to intervene and stop it. I guarantee you that in 25 years of pastoring, I've never seen those involved not alerted.
- [65:32]
B
Why?
- [65:33]
A
Because the Holy Ghost is faithful and he does his job well. Just because people missed it doesn't mean heaven missed it. Can I tell you this? Adam was in the right place. He was in the right place. God put him in the garden. He was in the right place. But Adam did the wrong thing in the right place. And the God who put him there is the God that removed him. I say this. Do the right thing in the right place so we can stay in the right place. Well, praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. How many of you know health is the right place, Prosperity is the right place. We have to do the right thing in the right place so the devil won't steal from us. Everything God's blessed us with. Hallelujah. I. My husband. My husband and I got married in 1984. He moved to Tulsa in 1982. He had a church prior to that in Southern California. He was a California boy, but God brought him to Tulsa so we could meet. Why come to Oklahoma and get your good girls. Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby. Not dissing on anybody else, but Oklahoma got the good dirt. I don't know, there's something about the way small town people think. We pretty solid. And right before we met, and this would have been in early 1984, right before we met, he of course had a traveling ministry. And he was coming off of a plane there in Tulsa, coming off down the Jetway. And as he was deplaning, coming down that jetway, God said to him, turn around. And he turned around and he saw 100 angels behind him. 50 rows, two side by side. You say? Well, did he count them?
- [68:04]
D
No.
- [68:05]
A
When you're in the spirit, you know, you just know. And he said to God, what are those angels for? He said, they've been dispatched from heaven to work with you in the healing ministry. They will adjust things in people's bodies. They. They will bring parts, they will remove things, they will apply things. Jesus is the healer, but they cooperate with healing power. Angels aren't healers. They are ministers for those who are heirs of salvation. And they'll minister something good. Amen. Hebrews chapter 1, verse 14. Are these not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who are heirs of salvation? And how many know they will minister something good? Well, do we have scripture for it? Well, at the pull of Bethesda, an angel would come down and deposit a measure of healing power. And it was just. See, powers and measures. Why? Because it's just enough for one. Regardless of how long they've been that way, regardless of what their condition was, regardless of how close to death they might have been, that healing, that one measure of healing power, enough for one, would go in and raise them up. And the angel cooperated with that. They weren't the source of the power. They just deposited it in the water. So we know this water's a conductor of power. It'll conduct it. Yeah. And so what was God doing? He wasn't leaving others out by only one. He was trying to stimulate faith in the others who need it and said, if God will do that for one, he'll do it for me. That's what he is trying to stir up, you see. So angels cooperate with it. I saw right before we married, my husband took a trip to Germany. And there was a man in the service that was stooped over completely at the waist, that was in the back of the room. And Ed called, I don't know if he'd called for those with back conditions. That was an endowment. God would have him to minister to those with back conditions. And this man came forward and he came over completely stooped over at the waist. He had been thrown in a concentration camp for preaching the gospel. He was a preacher. He had been in there for 30 years. And he had had. His job was to carry firewood. So he was stooped over from the weight of that, of 30 years of carrying firewood. So he comes up, he stooped over at the waist, and Ed lays hands on him. And when he. After he laid hands on him, that man started straightening up just like this. And Ed saw an angel grab him by the back of the neck. What's he doing? He's straightening that out, that spine out. And when he got perfectly straight, he didn't stop there. That angel lifted him up and he was dangling in midair, his feet not even on the ground. Why? Because the angel doesn't care where the floor is. And it was a sign and a wonder. Well, I don't think God would do that. Well, that'll be okay. I'll take it. And that man completely straightened up. What was that? An angel. Cooperation, operating with the power of God. That was ministered to him. Notice there was Ed's involvement, there was God's involvement, but there was this angel that was there to cooperate with what the need was. So we saw many, many miracles and healings with those. With that healing, that tangible healing, anointing on my husband, as well as the help of these, these ministering spirits to cooperate. They will bring body parts. I've seen bodies adjusted, spines adjusted. People will say, I can feel something massaging my heart, moving something around. That should not alarm us. It should alarm us why we don't have movement. More of it.
- [72:42]
D
Yes. Amen.
- [72:44]
A
Because they've been sent forth to minister.
- [72:46]
D
Yes.
- [72:47]
B
Amen.
- [72:47]
A
Why aren't we letting them minister? Because they won't violate the believing of man. And so after my husband went home to be with the Lord four months later, I was in a service. I was closing a service, and the spirit of God spoke to me. And he said, when your husband came back to heaven, those 100 angels that worked with him in the healing ministry did not come with him because their ministry is in the earth. Heaven doesn't need that ministry, he said, their ministry is in the earth. And he said. And I hadn't even thought about them since my husband left. And he said, 50 of them stayed with you. But he said the other 50 were dispatched to work with other ministers associated with your husband who had healing anointings on their life. So does it matter who you're connected to? They didn't just go to random people. They went to those who were divinely connected, where God told them to be. And then God said this to. He said, if you'll be faithful with those 50, more will come. And I was wondering, what does he call being faithful with those 50 that work with us in the healing ministry? And then he answered it for me. He said, that is talk about them. When you talk about them, you give them permission to work because they will not work without faith's permission. That's why I'm talking about them. Because this week we give them, we believe the word that they're ministering spirits sent forth to minister. And they're ministering God's power. They're not ministering something of themselves. We don't seek to see them, we don't seek to feel them, but we'll certainly receive it anyway. God wants to minister his power to us. I believe in the power of God. That's what I believe in. And however he chooses to manifest that is fine with me. Amen. And so he said to me, when I was Sitting here, he said, minister to those with heart conditions. So if you have a heart condition, stand to your feet. Now, can I say this right before we do something? It helps me and it helps my staff. Many times I was recently in a meeting and there were hundreds, maybe, I don't know, maybe 1200, 1500 there. And I said, I gave out a certain call for a certain condition because that would depend on how I ministered, based on how many there were. And 10 people raised their hand. I said, okay, come down. But when they got up, it was like hundreds. And that affects how effectively we can minister. So during this week, you know, sometimes people, you'll say, if that's you, raise your hand if you have that need, or stand your feet. And people will sit there for a while or they'll wait until you ministered to half of the line, then they'll get up. But that affects the flow of the anointing. It affects how I will minister to people. Because if there's a lot of people, I'll minister one way. If there's fewer people, I'll minister another way. So we have to be quick to respond instead of sitting there going, is it me or is it not me? Should I go up or should I not get up? Faith responds. So all week, I want to encourage you, if something is called out or ministered to about ministering to it, respond very quickly because I'm going to. You know, we have to train ourselves. We have to be instructed because there's a proper way to cooperate with God. Amen. And this is just part of skill with receiving from God, isn't it? So I'm going to ask something. I'm going to ask. Not yet. But those who have that, I'm going to ask you to stand. But then when I give the word, nobody else stand. Why? Because that's going to determine how I can Minister to people. Dr. Sumrall said, he said about himself, I can only effectively minister to 50 people. Well, he knew how God worked through him, but he knew that after a while, his strength. And dad Hagin would say this. When you get tired, it's difficult to yield to the anointing. So that's why I need to know how many. Okay, so if that is you, and you say I have a heart condition, high blood pressure, anything to do with the heart, anything. I'm not talking about spiritually, like my heart is burdened. I'm talking physical. Okay. And I'm not making light of that. Some people are going through so much stuff that they are Overwhelmed. But I'm talking. Talking about physical healing here. So if you say I need healing for my heart real quickly, if you would stand with me to your feet, if that's you, because that helps us to know how we're going to minister. Praise the Lord. Okay. Okay. So everybody. Everybody that's going to stand is standing, right? Okay. So just the ones that are standing, I want you to make your way either to this side aisle or this side aisle. If you would just go to either one of those side aisles. And once we minister to you, if you would go back to your seat through this center aisle, because that will help us to flow without stepping on each other. Amen. Congregation, stand with us to your feet. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Did you get help tonight? I said, did you get help tonight? Did you receive something?

A
I'm already here. When that power goes in, you're authorized. I'm whole. You're not whole because your body changed. You're whole because power, that healing anointing, went in. Amen. And our job is, when we leave this building, we say, it's mine. It's mine. What is it, pastor? Rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice is how you move into the end zone of manifestation. Remember the end zone of manifestation. The end zone of manifestation. Get off the playing field and get on the end zone. The mental arena will keep you running around trying to get to the end zone.
- [93:48]
B
That's true.
- [93:50]
A
Hallelujah. And people say, well, how come this hadn't changed? Or how come that hadn't stayed out of that manifestation side? Your side is Rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice. The devil wants to bring you into the mental arena of the arena of reason. Because there's no faith there. You have no faith in your mind. Faith is of the spirit. I said faith is of the spirit. Now your mind has to agree. The mind is renewed. But there's no faith in your mind. The mind is renewed. So it agrees with the faith that's in your heart. Instead of resisting the faith that's in your heart. Instead of arguing against the faith in your heart, Brother Copeland makes this statement. Dad Hagin's taught us this for years. But I like the way brother Copeland makes his statement. He said, we live from the inside out. What's that mean? We have to receive it with our spirit first. Tonight you received it with your spirit. Tonight you received it with your spirit, didn't you? You received it and that healing anointing came in you. So it has to be received first in the spirit. And then it'll begin working and start showing up on the outside. So it doesn't matter. When's it going to show up on the outside. You already received it with your spirit. Receiving is an action of your spirit, not your body. Amen. Mark 11:24. What things soever you desire. When you pray, believe that you receive it while it's still invisible. Receive it while. Believe you receive it while it's still in the spirit realm. Amen. And you shall have it, and it shall become visible and it shall manifest. It's not asking you to. That verse is not telling you to believe that something is manifested that hasn't manifested. It's asking you to Believe you receive it with your spirit before it's manifested, and then it'll manifest. Don't be concerned about manifestation, because that's not your part. Your part is receiving, and that's the action of your spirit. How do you receive it? It's mine. I have it now. It's mine. I have it now. It's mine. I have it now. It's mine. I have it now. Since I have it now, I rejoice. Since I have it now, I rejoice. Since I have it now, I rejoice. Listen, it only takes. It only takes a moment to receive.
- [96:16]
B
A moment.
- [96:18]
A
Well, what are you going to do from the time of receiving in that moment till the time it manifests? Rejoicing. That's what's done. That's what you do in the interim is rejoicing. And that means shut your mind down and just rejoice. That means quit thinking about it, quit worrying about it, quit considering your body and just rejoice. Rejoice and rejoice. And rejoice. Hallelujah.
- [96:44]
B
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

The yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Aren't you glad that when you don't know what to do now you know what to do? Rejoicing. Rejoicing. I can't even get out of here, can I? I'll come this way. I didn't know. They tricked me with those aisles. Hallelujah. This is what I want. Praise the Lord. One more. Yeah. The only night you're here. Yeah. What is it, love? I got a generative disc in my spine.

You take your hands off God's property in Jesus name. And we thank you, Father, for that power. We thank you, Father, for that power. We thank you for that power. Hallelujah. I love something, dad. Hagin said there was a woman in the final stages of cancer. And she said, brother Hagin, just leave me alone. Let me go on to be in heaven. And he said, sister, he said, you've taught healing. You believed in healing. He said, get healed first and then die if you want, but die by choice. Don't die by something else choosing. Amen. That's what we believe, right? We leave when we choose. Nothing takes our choice from us. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Not in sickness and disease. It's in the power of the tongue. Amen. You say it. Hallelujah. I choose. And I choose long life.
- [101:39]
B
Yeah.

A
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. A pastor. You have anything else? You got anything else? Come on. Yeah. Hello.
- [110:56]
D
Hello.
- [110:56]
A
Yeah.
- [110:58]
D
All right.
- [110:58]
A
Come up here with your ring.
- [111:00]
D
And I. I have to say this. The Lord rejoiced where the b. In the Bible where it talks about. And he rejoiced in the spirit. He rejoiced in the numa.
- [111:12]
A
Yeah.
- [111:13]
D
When he came. When they came back and they had. Remember when they were bragging on how they cast out devils in his name? And he said, don't rejoice in that. And I always thought he was a party pooper. Why wouldn't you rejoice in that? And the reason why is. Because that's a given.
- [111:29]
A
Yeah. That's a given. Yeah.
- [111:31]
D
But rejoice that your name.
- [111:34]
A
Yeah.
- [111:35]
D
Is written in the book. Now, if your name. And you don't know your name is not written in the book, and you want to know for a fact that it is, come down here and we'll pray for you. But then the Lord said this to me tonight, and I hope y' all just. Are y' all okay if I say what he told me to say? He said, I want you to go for the record. Now, a lot of my teams that we coach, we set a lot of records. Records that will not be. Be broken. We went for them. And I hear him say, go for the record. And I. And I know what he's talking about. He's talking about souls. He said, tonight you can have a defining moment right now.
- [112:18]
A
Yeah.
- [112:18]
D
That you can. You can reach more lost souls in this room than ever before. And I. And I'm like, lord. And then he reminded me of something, and here's the story, and I'm going to tell it quick because you've been hanging in here, and I'm so proud of you. Will you listen to me? Give me just a couple minutes. Candace and I were at a meeting mom was hosting, and I. We had to go pick up Norville Hayes. How many? Remember Norville Hayes? You talk about the. The business. You know what you were talking about, the full gospel business. And he was staying at Brother Hagin's house. Mom gave us directions. Do not talk to him when you pick him up or anybody, unless they talk to you and you get permission. So Candace and I pick up Norville. He's in the back seat. We're waiting in Brother Hagin's driveway. And he gets in the car and we're driving him 20 minutes. And one of those nights, he said something to me that I'll never forget. And this is what's going to be based on this record that we're going for today.
- [113:23]
A
Tonight.
- [113:23]
D
We're going to have a defining moment tonight. You're going to be a part of it. You're going to be a part of history tonight. He said. He said, when I was preaching at camp meeting in the Glory, how many? Remember when it was in the downtown Civic Convention Center? He said, chip, there were 15,000 people there. And I'm preaching. Brother Hagen's on stage. My mama was there, there. And he said, right before I went up to preach, somebody told me that a young man from our town, Cleveland, Tennessee, had died. And. And he was a. A young man who. And their family was terrible. They cursed God. They. They cursed the church. They did all these things. They weren't church goers. They didn't love God, nothing like that. And he hears that, right? So he goes up there and it's on his mind. He's kind of thinking about it and he starts preaching about salvation. And it, it pops up to him about. He had just heard this guy had died, young man. And so he said this on the platform, and my mother was there and he said. He tells the story and he said, poor fella went to hell. And all of a sudden, Norville Hayes was knocked by the power of God on his back in front of 15,000 people. They didn't know what to do. They didn't know if it's a heart attack or nothing. Brother Hagin. Everybody looked at Brother Hagin. Brother Hagin said, he's. He's breathing.
- [114:51]
A
It's.
- [114:51]
D
This is God. Everybody just pray. So they're praying he's out. And when he was out, Norville said, you want to know what God said to me? I said, yes, sir. He said, who are you? To say who goes to heaven or hell?
- [115:10]
A
Hell, yeah.
- [115:14]
D
Can you imagine the Creator saying that to you? Who are you to say who goes to heaven or hell?
- [115:21]
A
So good.
- [115:22]
D
And he said, but God. And he tells the story of the family and all he knew about the family and how they were terrible and they cursed the church and this or that. And he. And God showed him how he. Or the process of why. How he died or was dying.
- [115:38]
A
Yeah.
- [115:39]
D
And he revealed it to him like a movie. He was coming out of a bar and he was high or drunk and he got hit by an automobile. And. And. And Norville said, I could hear his heartbeat slowing down. I could hear him taking his last breath. I'm sitting there like if I was there and I'm watching it. And God said to Norval, because of his praying grandmother, who you never knew.
- [116:03]
A
Yeah.
- [116:06]
D
I revealed myself to him right before he took his last breath. And all he had to say was, I'm sorry.
- [116:21]
A
Yeah.
- [116:27]
D
And, man, that changed everything for me in my prayer life.
- [116:33]
A
Sure.
- [116:34]
D
And I thought about, who are we saying? Who goes to hell? Especially from the platform.
- [116:38]
A
Sure.
- [116:39]
D
But we have power in our prayer. Amen. We have power in our prayer. Glory to God. So let's. And the one time that the Lord had me go up in that little room over there before this church was added on, we prayed the same thing that we're about to pray now. And a little lady came up and she danced and she just danced and she said. And I saw two angels go that way. And she goes, those are for my Tony. I sent two and Tony. She got up and told us a little bit about Tony. And Tony had done everything you can imagine. And we were thinking, maybe we need to send more angels. Why am I saying all this? Because there are thousands, if not millions, that we're going to go after tonight. And we're going to send angels after them. And so we sent them after Tony in a meeting. Just like this, wasn't it, Candy? Callie was there just like this. And he said to do the same thing. Send those angels after them. He said, just like you're getting. Those angels are gathering. They're waiting. And we. And so we prayed that. And a month later, we had a meeting there. And. And Mama was up there preaching, and she got a note, and it said, tony's here. Now, listen to me. Tony was the most wanted man by the FBI in five different states at that time. That little church over there. And so he comes up there, and Mama goes, tony, get up here. So Tony comes up there, he Was in a borrowed suit. And he. And. And there goes the mama, just rejoicing. Now, the mama was rejoicing him in the whole time. That's what we told her to do. That's what the Lord told her to do. Rejoice him in. He'll come in. And so she's up there rejoicing. And there's Tony. And he said, I've done this. I'm the most wanted man the FBI by five different states. And we're all like, oh, wow, you know, And. And then he told a story. He said, I was so full of hate, I was in a hiding from the law in Arkansas. I was in a hotel room, and I just purchased enough ammunition that I was going to this elementary school and I was going to do a mass murder. Murder the next morning. And he cried, and he's trying to get God's attention if you're real in all of this. And he wouldn't kind of look up, you know, he's never talked in a microphone. And he said, but all of a sudden, two light beams come into my room. And the mama goes, I sent two. Don't y' all remember? And he said, one started operating on me here, and one started operating on my mind. And they rewired my heart and they rewired my mind. And he said, I'm turning myself in. But he said I had to come to church first and get born again and baptized. And he did it right there. So he goes in and I mean, he. The. The. The warden said the whole. The whole prison, a revival started a revival. Everybody was getting saved. And he got out of there and. And now he's pastoring and help, pastoring a church. And it's an amazing story and still keep in touch with him. But the Lord said, you rejoice a man, you send angels after you pray for them, then you rejoice. Amen. So on the count of three, I want you to think of somebody right now that you know that is not born again. Are y' all with me? And just as you're sitting there waiting, angels are waiting, and they're getting ready to go. Some of them are going to get ready to go to California. Some are going to go to Russia. Some are going to go to Collinsville. Some are going to go to Tulsa. Amen. Where are others going? Well, here they go. Are y' all ready? On the count of three, we're going to yell out their names. We're going to yell out their names. We're going to do exactly what we did that day when Tony came back. We're going to yell their names out. We're going to send those angels out after them and then we're going to rejoice. Just like you got your healing today, you're going to rejoice. We're walking out of here rejoicing. Rejoicing is the highest type of faith. So are y' all ready? And you're going to yell those names out. He needs your voice on it, cuz. Those angels are getting ready to go.
