I'm so honored again, me and my wife, so honored to be in this place where we came here. God led us to move here. I know Pastor Nancy said to be of help to them, but really they are of help to us. Hallelujah. I asked the Lord one time because I hear all these things about how to grow a church. And we have numbers here, numbers here. I'm just listening. And we did this, we did that. I said, I don't know how to do that. So I asked the Holy Ghost, I said, holy Spirit, I hear all these things from men, but I think he to hear from you, how do you grow church? You know, I was thinking of numbers, too, just like everybody. He said, son, you grow first. He said, it's from the inside. So you grow first. The church will grow. And I learned you can have numbers, but no growth, no spiritual growth, just numbers. Amen. He asked numbers one time, and they all left. He only got 12 left. And I told him, you guys gonna go, too? She said, my father never leave me. Yeah, praise the Lord. But anyway, let's move on. I'm just gonna start in the beginning, you know, in Genesis, because I'm blessed with Genesis. You have to know this, that if Adam and Eve didn't sin, we only have at least two and a half or two chapters of the Bible. And part of chapter three, not all chapter three is bad, because we saw there how the Father will come into that garden. There's a specific place, seems like to meet with them. And the Father will fellowship with them, but the Father will come down. Thank God. We have a better privilege there. We come up. We're already up. Well, we're going to see this this morning. But anyway, so in Genesis, let's go to Genesis. And you know, in Genesis, I'm not gonna. This is the days of creation. But I'm just gonna look. We're just gonna look at this verse in Genesis chapter one, where God created man. Now, I like this because. Let me go there real quick. And verse. I believe in verse 27. Praise God. Now I'm gonna read it in the amplified. You know, dad, Hagin said, most people don't listen. I heard that. He said that most people don't listen. So I said, let's amplify it. We can listen better. Yeah. Now, verse 25, it says here. And God said, let us. Let us. And then the word us is elohim. We know that you know. And there's plurality of him. He said, God said, let us Father, Son and Holy Spirit. So it is not our choice to be created by God. It was a covenant made by heaven. It was a covenant made by the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Everything about the Word is a covenant. Amen. Made by God for us. Amen. So we can see here everything that he promised us in Christ is a covenant made by the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. In fact, when he promised to Abraham, he said, I cannot swear it to any greater meaning. A covenant, right? A covenant. He cannot swear it to any greater. He didn't swear it to Abraham. He swear it to himself, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, and then just give it to Abraham. So look, if you look the reason why here, we can see here it said, make mankind so that's where we are. Make mankind in our image. So. So we became a spirit being after our likeness. Let them have complete authority. Now, he doesn't have a body yet, so he doesn't have a mind yet to house, you know, he needs a body to house. The mind, you know, the mind, the will and emotion is on here, you know. He doesn't have that yet. He's still a complete spirit being. Now what God did, he is speaking the word to this spirit that he created. He is imparting his that let us say, let them have dominion. He was talking God the Father, talking the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost, they are in agreement. So he took himself and imparted to this spirit we are created to receive. This spirit is created to receive, not trying to get it to receive. Amen. If Adam and Eve didn't sin, we know that, praise the Lord, that they all just received what God already have prepared for them. It's already prepared by God. So it says here, make mankind and oh, glory. Oh, my. Oh, praise God. When I meditate on the Word, I go back to this Father. I'm ready to receive what you will impart yourself to me. Amen. Hallelujah. Whoa. Oh, yeah. Just this one. We can go home now. I mean, my God. Yeah, Let them have. Let them have. Let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea. Not just spiritual things, these natural things. I see that. The fish filet, you know, fish of the sea. I like fish. You know, the birds of the air. That's your chicken. That's your chick fil a. You know, Right. The tame beast. Maybe that's your. Your cow or whatever. And over all the earth, that's Mm. Mm. That's real state. Yeah. Praise God. And over everything that creeps upon the earth now, he took what he has and impart to this man's spirit. He doesn't have a mind yet to doubt about it. He doesn't have it yet because in chapter two, right. He formed. He didn't create it. He formed this body. So you don't live by feeling. You don't believe in what is formed. If we believe with our feeling, we believe in the dirt, right? It came from the dirt. We believe in what's created in the image of God. So now it says here, so God created man in his own image, in the image and likeness of God. He created him. Male and female women. Praise the Lord. You're good. God got you covered. Amen. So. But God called you spirit man, the hidden man of the heart in verse 28. And God blessed them. He took that blessing that he has blessed his spirit. He impart. Pastor Nancy said, impartation. He impart. He impart that blessing. Amen. Oh. Oh, my. He impart. He impart. Like this. He imparted. He impart. He impart. Now, I didn't do that just for doing that. The Holy Ghost told me to do that. He impart. Amen. He impart the blessing that is in him, the authority that is in him. Amen. Hallelujah. Well, today he's still imparting it in him. In Christ. In Christ. In Christ. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Amen. Praise God. And God bless them. Same spirit. Amen. He doesn't have a name yet because he doesn't have a body yet. God called him man. Right. And God blessed them and said to them he was speaking to that spirit. And that spirit just received everything. The Bible called it faith. Believe that you received them, you shall have them. You have them the moment you believe. The moment the word was spoken, that spirit received it. No, ifs nothing. Right? Because he doesn't have a mind to say, oh, I don't know about that. He doesn't have a reasoning yet. So here, in the beginning of time, God divides. See, when you're praying, you're going to learn how to divide your spirit, your soul and body. The Bible. Amen. Divides it, right? Yes, Father. Thank you. Amen. And said to them, be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth and subdue it using all its vast resources, vast resources in the service of God and men. See that? Vast resources of that airplane. Amen. It's for the service. It's for the ministry. And have dominion over again, the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth. See, the thing we learned this, you know, prayer is a privilege. You know, it's a privilege. It's not work, it's a privilege. It's a privilege that was given to us by God. And I want, I like what Pastor Nancy made mention is the greatest privilege, but the most neglected privilege given to the body of Christ. See, faith doesn't come by prayer. But I learned this. When you pray, amen, it gives you the capacity to receive faith, to hear from God, because faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God. Praise the Lord. We move here by faith. We move in this area by faith because we heard from God. Me and my wife never separate ourselves from this ministry because we heard from God. Amen. In ministry, things are changing, but what we heard never changed. So after over 20 some years, we'll still hear, we're still connected to Dr. And Pastor because we heard from God. He imparted it to our spirit. And you know, they were perfect being. They never have, they never sinned in their life. And we can see that in chapter and in chapter two, he said, God said, after it is finished, he rested. He rested. And thank God for the book of Hebrews that He said, although the promise is finished before the foundation of the world. He was talking about that word. It is, you know, on the seventh day, he rested. Everything is done, Everything is finished. It takes life eternal because Adam and Eve doesn't have to die. But I notice even though they're perfect, they don't have any sin, they don't know everything. It's a progressive revelation of what was finished. It takes eternal. We have revelation today, but we cannot just live on the earth only a short period of time. But when we go to heaven, there's more because the Holy Ghost is with us forever. Amen. Praise God. And nobody. Nobody. No man. In first Corinthians, chapter two, Pastor Nancy was talking about that, that no man can know the things of God without the Holy Spirit. No man. None of us can receive revelation without the Holy Spirit. It takes the Holy Spirit to receive that revelation. That's why he's given the Holy Ghost to us. Amen. Amen. First is to fellowship with our Father. He said that in the book of Galatians, when the fullness of the time has come, God sent forth his son, his own nature. Amen. Only a son can hear exactly what the Father has for him. We need to have that eternal life. We need to have that life. Amen. But yet he did. It was an agreement made by the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost in the beginning. So Jesus obeyed the Father. He knows about it since the beginning of time. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Since it was covenanted by God. When God tell you you're gonna have that church, you're gonna have that house. You're gonna have. Because things of the sea, birds of the air. Him they made that decision before. He will reveal things to you. That's why we cannot live this ministry. Because it was covenant made by the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. And said move to Murrieta. It was a covenant. Heaven's praise the Lord. And many because lack of fellowshipping with God. They don't like what their pastor said. So they left. But they were led by the Holy Ghost to that church. And they just left. What is already made this agreement by the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Everything he speaks to you, he just doesn't speak. It's already been covenant by God. You got to know it. Amen. Only him can tell you. Go someplace else. Hallelujah. Only Him. Only the Holy Ghost. Everything in your life is dependent on the Word and the Holy Spirit. Nobody can receive Revelation. I was just reading this one day. I've never seen it. Until I saw oh my God. And he said to me, son, when you you know the fellowship with God, he will come down from that place. It should be our life forever. If Adam and Eve didn't sin. But thank God we have a better covenant today. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, he himself became the second Adam. You know he's not a replacement. The devil didn't know that. Praise God. Didn't you know the devil already know his downfall? At the time he said the seed of a woman. He thought he got the seed named Adam. But God said a seed. Seed of a woman will bruise your head. He didn't know that part. Amen. He didn't know, but God already spoke to him about his doom. Amen. And he didn't recognize him when he showed up. Jesus showed up. Once we know who we are in Christ. His doom. Mama. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God. We are meant to fellowship with our Heavenly Father. And then from that place of chapter three, chapter two, he said he rested. It is done. It is finished. Your life is done. Our future. Why would Jesus said that? The Holy Ghost will show you things to come. If it's not done yet, how can he show you something that is not there? How he can show Your life, if your life is already not prepared by God, it's already prepared by God. Hallelujah. Don't run away from it. Prayer will give you the capacity to hear what God already prepared for us. Amen. Praise the Lord. Fellowship will bring you to a place you can hear, because faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God. Oh, praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. So it's a progressive revelation. We're here to learn. Amen. Every day is a learning process. For how long? Till eternity. Whoa. Praise the Lord. And thank God. Whatever we know today where we are in this earth, we get to enjoy. You know, we're not going to be like a prodigal son. Remember the prodigal son, he left his father and he struggled with everything. He's away from his father. And I have noticed the father didn't look for him. The Father waited for him to come. And that prodigal son is a tithe, A son of children that is out of fellowship. That's why we struggle, because we're out of fellowship. That son cannot hear from God. So he decided because he lost everything, he struggled. Don't have money, poor boy, you know, not good food to eat. You know. You know how the story. And there was another son who is busy with ministry. He's on the church all the time doing ministry. But he never have sat down with the Father to enjoy that fellowship. I mean, you have everything. You can enjoy it. But here comes the son that miss God, miss being fellowship with God. I mean, it's a picture. I see myself. Oh, my God. If I don't fellowship with my father, if I'm away from my father one moment of time, I'll struggle. And I know it for a fact. So he said, I'm gonna apply. So he made a resume that he will apply just to eat food. The servant eat good food. So he came home. Amen. All of us, it's not too late. Doesn't matter how old you are. We can come again. You know, Jesus is coming soon. We know that, right? Very, very soon. The coming of the son, we're meeting him. We started getting closer and closer, meaning the church. Amen. Their fellowship with God, they'll have. Amen. We get closer and our fellowship with God, all of us, praise the Lord. Amen. And afar off. The Father knows when you make a decision, gonna fellowship with my father. It's been a while. Amen. I know that. I experienced that. Praise God. So because you can hear, you cannot hear if you're not close. I know that Being with my wife, she will say something. I can hear her voice, you know, I cannot understand it because I'm far. So I come. I notice the moment. The moment I go nearer to her, her voice get louder. So I will tell her, you know, calm down a little bit. I'm calm down. You're the one that cannot hear. Okay. You don't have to yell more. I'm here now. I'm close now. Now tell me then. I can hear exactly. I can sit down. Tell me what you mean, what you know. You know what I'm saying. It's just the same. We are with God when we are not in fellowship with God. We can't hear the word of faith. We can't hear. Same thing. Same thing. And as I notice God, when he tell you something, you got to do what you heard first. If not, you're not going to know the second one. We didn't know we're going to be doing what we're doing today. All we hear is multi murrieta. We got to move there first. We got to do that first. We never force anything. You don't have to. He already prepared his plan for your life. You don't have to compete with anybody. How many people you have in your church, how many this, how many that? What kind of car you drive, what kind of this. I'll have to struggle with that thing because God has prepared something for me. My job is to hear what he said. I don't have the brown nose with anybody. I hear that. I was in the Navy. They say those who are brown, nosing or something. Praise God. My English is good, right? Thank God for the anointing. Thank God for the hora masih. Thank God for the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. I didn't know he's gonna keep us here in the United States. I have to speak English and amen. I'm gonna speak in front of you. I get to enjoy you. I don't get nervous anymore because he said enjoy. You enjoy my plan. You enjoy my will. Yeah. Praise. It's not your performance anyway. Praise God. I got to enjoy my righteousness. Praise the Lord. Let me. Amen. So every time they fellowship with God, they get to know more. The only thing they know, do not eat of that tree. Amen. If you eat the tree, you shall surely die. They don't know what die means. They don't know what he means about death. If only they know, they will not have eaten that fruit. Amen. Only they know. They don't even have a revelation that God can forgive. They miss it, but amen. It will be different. When Adam said, God, I ask you to forgive what I did. But he didn't do that. They didn't know that God forgives. They don't have a revelation of redemption. They don't have that God can redeem them at the time. But they didn't. They didn't. So they. This woman you gave me, Praise God, right? Amen. Well, God gave me women, but I learned not to say these women you gave me because got my wife, got my pastor women, you know? You know what I'm saying? And I noticed that Jesus, God gave them women, too, to take care of her, him financially. So that's the women God gave me. He said, I'm like him, so he gave me some women to help me. Yeah, he doesn't have time to count his money or everything. Praise God. But anyway, let's move on here. Praise the Lord. Amen. So thank God for worship. Let's change the topic. But see, I told you, I get to enjoy my time. Praise the Lord. So let's go to Galatians chapter. You know, Galatians. Praise the Lord. This is not my iPad because I need the Amplified. See? Thank God. This. You got to erase that first. Yeah, yeah, there you go. See the Amplified. My Bible doesn't have it. But anyway, in Galatians. Let me move on here. Oh, praise the Lord. In Galatians, it says here, right? And let's read it. You know, they were under the law, but the covenant changed. But when the Mashiach. But when the fullness of the time was come, verse 4, God sent forth His Son in Galatians 4. Now, all this scripture that we're reading here is the decision is an agreement made from above. Remember, since the beginning of time, when we're reading the scripture and we're receiving it. Amen. For our sake. It is a covenant made from above. There's some specific things that God will speak to you. Amen. In line with the Word, but it's specific to you. Still, it was made, an agreement made from above. Amen. In the beginning of time, God said, let us. So now look at that. Let us here in verse four. But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son. It was a covenant Jesus left heaven, put on humanity. Amen. So that now notice, so that God can swear to man through him, because he swear to himself. Because he cannot swear on any greater. He cannot swear it to Adam because Abraham, Adam missed it, changed his mind. Abraham still struggling Right. His mind is not renewed. It took him 25 years to renew his mind. Yeah. He received the Word, but his mind is not renewed. Right. At the time. So here. So you see here. But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son made of a woman, made under the law to redeem them that were under the law that we might receive the adoptions of sons. Amen. And because you are sons, right? We do. We have the Spirit. We call it eternal life. God has sent forth the Spirit, the Holy Ghost. So he didn't stop by just sending his own son. He didn't stop it. He sent his own with the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, his own Holy Spirit, his own Son, his own Holy Spirit. All we have to do is what? Receive. It's a gift. We don't have to struggle it. Because it's a gift. Amen. And because God sent forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, into our spirit. Into our spirit. Praise the Lord. He did the same thing in Genesis, chapter one. Amen. And he said here, crying of a father, Its fellowship. Fellowship. It's fellowship. Why the Lord Jesus. Praise the Lord. Praise God. And that's why Jesus prayed to the Father. He always in fellowship with the Father. It is a privilege. He said he is no better. He is not better than us. Whatever he has, we have here on the earth today. He has to rely on the Father's Word. Amen. In that time of prayer, that time of prayer, he will hear from God. See, prayer give us the capacity to hear the word of faith. Because faith cometh by hearing. It doesn't come by prayer. But prayer gives us the capacity to hear from God. Bible said strengthened with might. That's prayer. Strengthened with might by his spirit and your inner man. So prayer give Amen. A permission for the Holy Ghost to strengthen our spirit. The Holy Ghost give us the capacity. I should say Amen. Strengthened by his Spirit in my inner man. In your inner man. For what reason? That Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith. So that our spirit strong enough to hear the word. Praise God. Because no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God, which is in him. So that's why now we have the Holy Ghost Praise God. To know the things that God has given to us in worship. When we worship God, when we fellowship with God. That's the first and foremost why the Holy Ghost came. That's the first and foremost why we have the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Is fellowship. Amen. That's why he told that woman in the well. Remember that woman in the well? And she's a busy woman. She had five husbands. Remember that man, that. But. But she asked a great question. When you're in the presence, I noticed there, when you're in the presence of Jesus, presence of the Father, there is no condemnation. Jesus knows her lifestyle, right? Jesus knows her lifestyle. But a good thing she asks is worship. Do we worship in Jerusalem? You know, do we do Jerusalem worship? But, you know, we have. We worship different. We worship a mountain. Worship. That's what it said, right? Amen. And Jesus said, amen. The time has come. The time has come. Amen. When you worship God in spirit and in truth. Now, look at this. Look at this. Now, he said here in verse six. And because you are sons, God sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts, crying, abba, Father, so that's fellowship. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son. Any pasan, then an heir. That's our inheritance in Christ. It takes faith to know our inheritance in him. Yeah. My God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ. Yeah, he supplies your need. But every one of our needs are all different from one another. There is a specific thing when he supplies your need. He doesn't. I mean, he give you revelation. Start this. Do this. When God told us to move here. It's a supply made from above. Praise God. I think you know I'm gonna preach in front of you today. Amen. It's a covenant made from above. So you just have to be thankful, whatever. You may like it, you may not like it, that's your problem. This is God's covenant. It's not my decision. It's not me and my wife's decision. Amen. It's his decision he imparted to our spirit. Oh, glory be to God. Hallelujah. Amen. So thou art no more a servant, but a son than an heir. So if I fellowship with God by the power of the Holy Ghost. Now. Now. Amen. What will happen? I got to hear. I got to hear faith of who I am in Christ. I got to hear the inheritance that God has for me. Oh, glory be to God. Amen. Amen. Not only did I hear who I am in Christ, I'm gonna hear the details. The details. Amen. He told Noah because he found grace. Amen. And God's sight, every one of them should drown. But not Noah. He can hear details. Now, notice we don't know what Noah. All the details of the measurement of the ship. God is a detailed God, when he call you, he'll give you the details. Not overnight, because Adam and Eve didn't hear the details, made a mistake because they didn't hear. If only they knew, right? But they didn't hear the whole thing because it's progressive. Every time they fellowship with God, they will hear from God. Mm. And then again and again, every day of their life here on the earth, again and again, as they fellowship, more progression, more revelation of the finished work. Not overnight. Praise the Lord. So here, when God told me, when we. The first time I came here, God led us here to go to Bible school, man. We're really broke because we don't know who we are in Christ. We don't know the plan of God. So he sent me to Bible school here by revelation. I kind of wait a little bit. Maybe I was late one or two weeks to enroll because I don't have the money to do it. And the Lord told me, go Bible school. And I was done with it because I'm still looking at the natural. I'm still learning faith and thank God for my wife. Here comes my wife. Got the Holy Ghost in her. What did God say to you? You know. Yes. Yes, ma'. Am. Did he tell you go Bible school? Mm. Yes, ma'. Am. Yeah. Yeah. So I did. I did. I got to follow God. I got to go to Bible school. You didn't wait for the money? No, I got to go to Bible school before the money. Amen. And then I obeyed God. Okay, Lord, I didn't go right away. Just said, yes, I'm going Bible school. And the money came, and God told me not to go to work. I said, I struggle with it. Well, God, go to Bible school. God didn't tell you to go. Not to go to work. You better work because you're not gonna eat. But he told me, and I fight with it because I knew I'm just like Abraham. Try to do in the natural, you know, got me extra job security job, you know, flexible time. So I got accepted. And I'm tying my shoes, sit down, tie my shoes, you know, tie my shoes to go the first day of work. I cannot get up. What's wrong with this? You know, I'm new to all these strange things, you know, I cannot get up on that seat. It's like I'm glued on that seat. And I realized, father, you said, do not go to work. Lord, Lord, Lord, forgive me. I will not go to work. I go to Bible school. And I was released. He helped me not to disobey what Was covenant by the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. You understand me now. So I went and finished Bible school. Get close to dad and pastor at the time, and even dad at the time, he was. Man. He got into that prophet's anointing one time. He was our guest. And my wife was in that meeting, just a guest student. And he said to us, I see we're gonna work together one day. I said, you know, my mind tried to, you know, figure it out. I'm not an office guy. I will not. I will fall asleep there. I'm not. I don't know how to type. I don't know how to hold those. You know, your mind. I thought, we're gonna work on the office, you know, Amen. I'm gonna lead this. I'm not gonna lead the singing, because I can sing. And brother David gave me a. Gave me a nuggets. Give me a good nuggets, he said, you know, I asked him, maybe he can help me on my boys. And he said, pastor, stay in your lane, okay? Yes, sir. Yeah, I keep that in mind. Praise the Lord. You know, sometimes we try to figure out, just do what he said first. Then he give you more. He give you more details. He give you more details. I don't know. Gonna travel with a man of God with that caliber. This dude, Sometimes he can barely. He understand my English. But he has no choice because God told him to take me with him. He had no choice. It's a covenant made by the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. And then after that, he said, son, did I tell you not to go to work? Yes. Lord said, didn't you know, I know how much you're going to earn the time that you didn't go to work. Yes, Lord said, now, son, let me tell you, I'll pay you back. I'll pay everything. The day that I told you not to go to work, I know. I have a book of numbers. I know everything. How much you will earn if you went to work that. That time that I told you not to. Now here's what I'm gonna do. Oh, I like that. Okay, Lord, come on. Yeah, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna pay you the time you didn't go to work. I'm gonna give you all that money, but I'm gonna give you more. And that more still coming. That more still coming. That more still coming. Do you believe that? I do believe that. Yeah. I do believe that. He's a more than enough God, amen Praise God. Hallelujah. Dot more now. Let me. Let me go here real quick. Amen. In John chapter seven, do you remember that prayer that Jesus prayed to the Father? Let's look at that. Let's look at that. Let's look at that. Amen. Now. Now. Verse one, verse one. Let's read all this. What Jesus said, this word spake Jesus, verse 1, chapter 17. And lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, father, the hour has come. Glorify thy Son. Now if you look at this, it seems like Jesus is just praying for himself, right? But you have to understand, we became one with Him. When he prays, he just doesn't pray for himself. His mind also. In his mind and heart, we are together with Him. When he prays to the Father, it just doesn't affect him. It's not just for himself. It's also for us. This prayer, let me tell you, this prayer is eternal prayer that Jesus prayed. The Father is still doing it today because Jesus prayed. So let's look at this prayer because this prayer is still at work today in our life. Amen. Now look at this. The hour is set here. Father, the hours come. Glorify thy Son and thy Son also may glorify thee. And this, when you are be led by the Spirit in prayer, it will affect you. Not only you. There's more in that prayer, because that's how he works now here. And thou hast given him power over all flesh that he should give eternal life to as many as Thou has given him. And this is life eternal that they may know thee. Wow. That's a life eternal. Amen. You know, we receive eternal life. For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten Son. Whosoever believeth in him, him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. That is Christ life. Amen. And he prayed, right? He prayed that they might know Thee. And this is life eternal that they might know thee. Amen. Meaning we can have fellowship with our Heavenly Father. We can know our Heavenly Father. How do we know the Heavenly Father?

We know His Word. He called His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. The Word. Amen. Wow. And he gave us the Word. He gave us the eternal life. He gave us the very life of the Son. He gave us his own life. And Jesus said all that the Father hath in mind. Because why He He Swear it to Him. It will not fail. It will not fail. His Word will never fail because he swore it to Himself. He made a covenant to himself. Our Spirit just received. I receive It, Father. Well, you know you're healed, but you know you're feeling. Don't believe. Don't believe the dirt. He didn't speak it to your body. He speak it to your spirit. He didn't swear it to what you feel. He speak it to himself. He swore it to Himself. So when he revealed Himself, he revealed His Word. Amen. And verse three. And this is life eternal. This is prayer that they might know Thee, the only true God in Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do. So there's work that we have to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with Thine own self. With the glory. With the glory. The glory. The Father is still fulfilling that prayer up to today. The glory. The glory which I have with Thee before the world was. And we are with Him. So what he's asking about the glory is not just asking it for himself, is asking it for him and us. We are seated with him in that heavenly places in the glory of God. We don't have to sing 10 songs to get into the glory. It belongs to us. Just receive the glory. You don't have to see the cloud. You'll see it, but. Yeah, you don't have to feel it, but your body can feel it. But it goes to your spirit. The glory. The glory. Oh, the glory. Oh, man. Hallelujah. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former. The greater glory because Jesus prayed and God is fulfilling this word. Remember, he promised to Abraham. He promised to Abraham up to now. That promise still. He's working on that promise. That promise is still work today. And there is one greater than Abraham that prayed our Lord Jesus. This prayer, he is still working today. A revelation of who we are in Christ. Praise the Lord. Amen. I have with thee before the world was. I have manifested Thy name unto the men which Thou gavest me out of this, out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them me. And they have kept Thy word. Wow. Now they have known that all things, whatsoever Thou has given me are of thee. Wow. For I have given unto them. Now, every time the Father gave him, he gave it unto us. He gave it unto us. He gave it unto us. Mm. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Amen. He did that, right? Amen. He rose Jesus from the dead, right? Right. Because we have to enter into the holiest of all. We have to enter. In Hebrews 9, it talks about two sanctuaries in the Old one is they do the service. And the second one is the holiest of all. And he told Moses, do what I showed you in the mount. Exactly what's in the holy of holies. Amen. And there was a veil. Nobody can go in there without the high priest. You have to understand now. Amen. Praise God. There's two sanctuaries. There's only one left. Now, according to Hebrews 9, we don't do service here. We are in the holy of holies of heaven. Isn't that true? That veil is his flesh that need to be sacrificed so that. Amen. So that when he said, it is finished, that veil was rent in two. Well, the sacrifice. The body was sacrificed. So it opens the door. Because he said, amen. I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh to the Father except through me. So when that. When he said it is finished, he gave that body which is his flesh, that veil, it was rent from top to bottom. And the holiest of all. No more. Of the two sanctuary, we only have one. Isn't that right? Everything we do here, we do the very holiest of all. That's why he said, come boldly in the throne of grace. What is the throne of grace? That's the holiest of all. Every time, every time you get into the spirit, your spirit doesn't dwell on the earth. It was seated in the right hand of the Father. It was seated. It was one with the high priest. And when he went and present the blood, we are with him. We are seated with him. And that's when we fellowship with God. We are in that holiest of all. That is our righteousness. There is no guilt in condemnation nation. You go to that place, there's no guilt there. There's no struggle there. And all the good things of that holy come down from the Father of lights here on the earth for us. We come up through our worship. Praise the Lord. Glory. You see that? That's when you hear everything. That's when you hear praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Glory be to God. We are seated with the high priest. And he is the high priest of your confession in that place of called the holiest of all. When we worship God, we. We don't worship here on this carpeted room. We worship in the spirit. We worship my God. Hallelujah. If this is the holiest of all. I like that song. We shout in the sanctuary. What is that? Yeah, yeah. You're talking about the holiest of all, the holy of holies. I'm not preaching to you on the earth. We are in the holiest of all. We're hearing God speaking to all of us. And when we worship God, we worship God. I worship when I pray in the Holy Ghost. I pray in that place. Come boldly. We take his word. Right? We take his promise. We took what was covenant by heaven. The Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. Learning something? You just don't pray in the Holy Ghost. On the earth, however, in the spirit. That's why he told that woman, Neither in Jerusalem, neither in that mountain. True worshiper. Go into the place called the holiest of all. No more two, only one. Because we become one with the High Priest and because of the blood. That's why we take our righteousness. We take the place when we worship God, when we pray. Thank God for being in the ministry. But that's what I long for. And that's where I hear God. I could have gone to the Philippines. I can speak the dialect. I can. Amen. I don't have to think English word that I have to say, but I think it from my spirit. Amen. Praise the Lord. So let's worship God. The veil is gone. The veil. Come on in. Well, you just don't know the mistake I made. That's earthly. Go in the spirit. Go to his presence. Go in the presence of the Father. There is no the same thing with that prodigal son. He came back to his Father. And the Father didn't condemn him. Didn't tell him, get out of here. You are no good son. And when the Father saw that he's coming back, coming soon. He see you coming. He see you. Come on, son. Come on. Come into my presence. And far he saw it from afar. Prepare. Prepare a robe. No condemnation. There's no guilty or judging. What is wrong with them. What he did wrong, there's nothing. Praise the Lord. When we come into his presence, that's our righteousness, our privilege. It's not our performance and what Jesus did for us. Amen. We still have to pray. We still have to fellowship so we can hear what was promised to us in Christ. Praise the Lord. Amen. So when we worship God, don't. Don't struggle. Father, I thank you that I'm in the place. Amen. I give you praise. And in the mochi, and in that place there's fullness of joy. And in that place there's fullness of peace. And in that place. Amen. Well, how about my ministry? Yeah, yeah. Who went to the Holy of Holies, right? He ascended on high and he gave gifts unto men. The gifts was in that place. Right. The fivefold gifts was in that place. It was released when the blood was. Come. And enjoy. Father, we worship you. Amen. We glorify your name. We magnify your name. I give you praise. I give you glory. I give you honor and thanksgiving. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Lord. Yeah. Hallelujah. However, in the spirit. However, that spirit. Glory be to God. Father, we glorify. Yeah. Thank you, Lord. Ah. Glory be to God. We give you praise. We give you glory. We bless you, Father. The word. Word. Yes, Lord. Hallelujah. Yes, Lord. Father, we thank you. We bless you, Father. We bless you. Oh, my Lord. Father, thank you. Mm. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Thank you, Father. Yeah. Yes. Yes, Father. Hallelujah. Yeah. Yeah. Every time they come into your presence. Every time we come into your presence, you impart to us your word. Every time you reveal to us your word. Yes, Father. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you, Lord. Yeah. Thank you for the glory. Yes, Lord. Thank you. Yes, lord. Yes, lord. Thank you. Love you, two fathers. Pastor.

You know, in praying, the needs are vast of what could be prayed for, right? And so that's why we so depend upon the Holy Ghost to lead us, even in the requests we make. Amen. We can make requests based on the word, but we can also make requests based on the leading of how he's leading us to pray when Pastor Noel was up here. So I'm just looking, you know, of what should we. How should we direct some requests today? And when Pastor Noel, early on, when he got up and was preaching, God drew my attention to his feet, and he said, pray for doors for his feet to go through. And so that's what I was just did that while there. But I think that that's something that the Holy Ghost wants us to pray for all. Amen. So stand with us. Stand with us this morning. Because it tells us in Romans 10:14, how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent as it is written. How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things. And then it says after that. So then faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the word of God. So notice faith is connected to the feet of those who tell it, Right? And so I was praying for him, for his feet. But what about all of us ministers? And God will use your feet for your world, whether it's at work, whether it's towards, you know, neighbors and those, but also especially ministers. There are doors that God wants ministers to walk through so that others can go through that door too. So let's pray that direction this morning. Amen. And you say, well, why are you picking that out? Well, I didn't. That's just what prompted. Was prompted by the Holy Ghost. So we want to. He knows where the need is. Amen. So, Father, we thank you for this, the gospel, the good news. Father, every man needs a savior, and every man has a savior. And it's our privilege to go tell every man, you already have a savior, you already have a covenant, you already have a place in God available to you. So, Father, what a privilege it is not just for ministers, but for every believer. Can I tell you this? Let me tell you this. Every believer has two ministries, one in the church and one out of the church. Amen. It's not appropriate to do the one outside the church and leave the one in the church neglected. And it's not appropriate to just only be interested in the church and not take it out of the church. Every believer has two flows of ministry. Amen. And we're never fulfilled just doing one of them. Amen. Because some try to have a ministry apart from a local church, can't do it, not the way it ought to be, not to the fullness. Because everyone has one in the church, serving in their local church and outside the church, telling those, hey, you already have a savior. And let me tell you about it. Amen. So that's why we pray. Because everyone's feet are to go into those two flows. Amen. But Father, we thank you. We thank you for entrusting us with the message. We thank you, Father. So we pray for the feet of the people that they would. They would follow the leading of where their feet are to go. And Father, especially, I'm especially prompted in praying for Pastor Noel to pray for all ministers. Because as they go through doors and rooms with their feet of faith that follow you into further places, then those rooms become an example of where others can go. And so, Father, we just pray for the direction, the places you would have us to walk. Doors, Doors of utterance opened. And as. As you said, Jesus, the. The harvest is ripe. It's so ready for the reaping. But pray that laborers. Pray that laborers be sent into the harvest. So, Father, we pray for Pastor Noel's feet. We pray for every minister's feet. We pray for every believer's feet. That they go accurately, accurate steps ordered of the Lord. And that they recognize that we're not to wander through life, but we're to follow the steps ordered by heaven. So we pray, lifting that up. Ordered. Ordered of the Lord. Ordered of the Lord. Aaya. Ordering the order of the Lord carries the power of the Lord. Carries. Carries. Carries the direction of heaven in it. So we prayed for doors to open. Doors, doors. Doors to open. No more waste steps. No more wasted steps. Steps in the wrong direction. No more I speak to ministers.

No more.

No more. Quit walking mindless through. Through the plan of God. Quit walking mindless through your office. Follow ordered steps. Not wasting, wasting time, not wasting ministry. Not wasting resources in steps you're not to take. Walking accurate. Walking accurate by the Word and the Spirit. We take it. We take it. We take it. We take. We take steps of purpose. We hear, we hear, then we walk. We hear, then we walk. We hear, then we run. We hear, then we go. Steps that carry purpose. Steps that carry purpose. Steps that. That fulfill the plan. Can I say something to you? I want to say something to traveling ministries, to those in traveling ministry, not just in the room, but anybody watching. If you're going to take your calendar in your hand, you just took it out of God's. If you're going to pursue and try to make contacts that trying to fill your calendar, then God sees you working it. And he doesn't need to work it. You just take time to hear the plan and let him fill your calendar. Because you can spend your whole life going to places he never sent you and thinking because you're busy that you're fulfilling the plan. It is not my job to fill my calendar. It's my job to fulfill the plan. And if I God only sent me to one location in a year, that's all I need to go to, God will fund me. God will fund me just by going where he said we don't have time to. To carnally. And it's carnality to try to function in these things and feel these things things by natural ability. Amen. And I tell you that the further I go in the things of the plan, the plan of God and the things of the Spirit, the less I order things. They're so loosely ordered. They're only loosely ordered so that we can have a skeleton of a plan so God can put the meat on it. But you have to have some kind of direction to that you're taking so God can direct the steps. You have to be making movement of some sort, but not Movement that you authored, movement that you heard. And what I do in my calendar just. I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just telling you how I do it. The first thing I do is I put on my calendar. Not my services, not my meetings. I put on the calendar first, the one who speaks into my life.

Meetings of Brother Copeland's that I'm to be in, because that's where God told me is my supply that goes first on my calendar because I need to hear before I move. So I put those. And that's why people say, well, I don't have time to come to the meetings. Well, if that's first, you, you, you have time. It's like if people say, I, I don't have enough money to tithe. If you do it first, you always have enough. So what first goes on my calendar is the Brother Copeland meetings that I'm to be in. Second, what goes on my calendar, the meetings God's told us to do, which is these conferences here. Then third, what goes on that are the miracle crusades, because that's what God said, all the rest. And then I put In, I have 12 weeks of filming that I do every year, so all of that has to go on. But I have bits and pieces of weekends. I don't say, oh, I got an empty spot. Let me feel it. I leave empty spots empty. So God can feel it that way at a moment's notice. I have had ministers call and say, can you come? And just so happens I'm available. Amen. If you're going to try to put. Put purpose to your own steps, you're going to end up wasting your resources and money that God gives you to go bless someone else will be spent on places you're not to be. I'm just telling you there has to be a rewiring. It's called a renewing of the mind when it comes to traveling ministries. Amen. Because you're the greatest blessing in the place where you're supposed to be. You might have a wonderful anointing, but if you're not supposed to be there, those people were robbed from the highest flow. I mean, I've had. I've had a precious ministries. I mean, they're on forefront and they have contacted me and asked me to come. And on the inside of me, I'm not supposed to go there. And I call them back and I say, thank you so much for the invitation, but if I came there, you would be robbed from the highest flow because God has a someone else for that meeting, not me. I don't have to accept everything that looks appealing be led. Why? Because in these. This. This last hour that we're in, we don't have time for wasted steps. Ephesians 5, verse 15. I'm going to read it to you. The Amplified classic. Look carefully then, how you walk. Look carefully then, how you walk.

Walk.

Live purposefully. What's that mean? In line with his purpose and worthily. Look at this and accurately. You can spend your whole life being busy and never arriving at what he had in your path. Not as the unwise and witless. So he's saying to walk without purpose, to walk in a manner that's not worthy of the plan, to walk inaccurately, he says that's unwise. Amen. And then it goes on, making the very most of the time, buying up each opportunity because the days are evil. Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish. It's foolish to think that your plan will substitute for his right, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, for that is debauchery. But ever be filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit. When we're full, it's easy to be led. It's easier to know the leading of the Lord when we're full. Because Luke, chapter 4, verse 1. Before Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, it says, and Jesus, being full of the Holy Ghost, was led of the Spirit into the wilderness. Notice, when you're full, it's easy to know the leading. So it's not about filling our calendar, it's about being full so that we'll know where he's leading us to go. Amen. We don't have time for missteps. And when partners partner with this ministry, I am not authorized to spend it in the wrong places. It's there. It's their generosity. And I have a responsibility to take of their generosity and to spend it accurately. Not just doing what's always been done or how somebody else does it. Others may do it that way, but that doesn't mean it's accurate. Amen. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. And pastors don't just have somebody because you've always had them or because they're popular. Be led by. Be led. Dad Hagin taught us every person that comes to your pulpit leaves a deposit. Make sure they're not pulling people after them, that they're not trying to be the most favorite away from the pastor, you know, who's to be the most favorite preacher in your church, the pastor. And if someone comes and tries to woo the affection of the people, they're not safe because they're trying to build their ministry. And any minister who's trying to build their ministry is not safe. For your pulpit, I'm there to help the pastor. I'm there to make the pastor, to elevate the pastor in the eyes of the sheep. Because when I leave, that man needs to be honored by those people in that congregation so that their lives can be helped. Let me tell you this, and you need to get this straight. As an apostle, a prophet, an evangelist, and a teacher, you have one assignment, and that is to build the local church. If an apostle isn't building the local church, he. His. He's not needed. If a prophet is trying to build their own ministry off the back of another church, they're not needed. I love something about Finney. He. At one, he did. He was in the New York area and he was doing a long crusade. I mean, it lasted, I want to say, like a year and a half. There were over 100,000 converts in his meetings. He would not count them as a convert unless they were plugged into a local church because he knew any convert outside the local church has lost fruit. Every apostle, every prophet, every evangelist and teacher needs to know their job is not complete until they have turned those people over to a pastor. You're to build the local church because the most important office is the pastor. Amen. So if you go in, you need. We need to rid ourselves of statements like, I'm trying to build my ministry. I'm trying to thank you for the. The opportunity. My opportunity to preach to you. No, this is not your opportunity to preach. It's God's opportunity to bless the people. It's the Holy Ghost opportunity to bring revelation to them. It's not the preacher's opportunity to get his ministry exposed. You have to tweak these things so you're safe. I love something John Osteen said, and he's right. He said, when the people start liking a traveling minister more than me, I quit having them because he said, if their affection goes to a traveling minister, I've lost. I cannot keep them safe because they're not safe under my care anymore because their affection is on someone who's leaving. So you never want to go in as a traveling minister and cause people to like you better. They need to love the pastor more once you are, once you leave, than they ever noticed you. And you need to not say, look how Further, I go in the things of God than your pastor and put a comparison. I am here in a pulpit of a pastor so that I can help the people to move with their pastor when he wants to go further. Amen. You have to get this thinking straight because it can become people find their self worth and how much they're admired and appreciated and that's dangerous. Your self worth is in him. In him. And when you're rooted and established, you have built that in you through meditation. You are safe in another man's pulpit. If you don't build that, you will always be, will be an air about you that will bring attention to you and want people to have an affection for you and your ministry and how you flow well. They should appreciate what God does through you. But it's what God does. It's not what you put on display. You never want to make your pastor look like he's not as spiritual as you. I'm talking to traveling ministers. You never want to make a pastor look belittled in the eyes of the sheep because we're all growing and we always want to point the people. Your pastor and I say this and it is not a manipulative statement, but I say thank God for our pastor. When I go into another man's church, I'm talking about their pastor. Congratulations. You found the best place to be this morning. And that's under your pastor. Everything of the the other four offices are to appoint to the pastor. And if you're not good at that, you won't always have a place to preach. But dad Hagen would say us, say to us, if you will point to the pastor and that local church, you will always have a place to preach. Amen. Trying to help people in their thinking because people can mean well but carry it out the wrong way. So we have to think right. Amen. And if, if someone comes in and they just want to be more admired and more impressed in the eyes of the people to. To be elevated and thought of, that's a wrong direction. I'm there to bless. Number one, that pastor. Number two, I'm there to bless that congregation. That's it. Amen. I'm not there to have an opportunity for my ministry to go further. I'm not. We have to get that straight. Amen. Because those are the only safe feet to invite into your pulpit. You know, not everybody's feet do the right thing. Some people kick at things they shouldn't be kicking at. Amen. Some people help lift things that need lifting. Well, there you go. See we can pray, but if we think wrong, we can keep ourselves from going through doors that God opened, intended for us to go through. If we think wrong, we can dismiss ourselves from open doors he had for us. There is a spiritual etiquette. And can I say this, I don't know if we'll ever get to this in these services or what, but we need to learn to flow with the Holy Ghost. But you cannot leave out the etiquette of the Holy Ghost. The etiquette of the Holy Ghost is supreme. Supreme. The etiquette of the Holy Ghost is unmatched. So it's not just about flowing with him, it's about flowing with how he flows in divine etiquette. That his etiquette is. It makes it. He's so appealing to everyone when his etiquette is followed, but it's off putting when his etiquette is not followed. Amen. It's not just about knowing him, but it's also knowing his etiquette because there is a spiritual etiquette to flowing with the Holy Ghost. Amen. He never tries to. He never wants anyone to walk out feeling, boy, I'm so, I'm so bad. Unskilled, unknowledgeable. Look how good they others were. And recognizing. And they walk out fear, feeling pushed down. Someone who's swung with the Holy Ghost never points to what someone doesn't know. They. They say, come on up, come on up, come on up because you belong in this flow. Amen. And people feel elevated. They don't feel there's a great gap between them and those who know. Oh, well, praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. See, we can pray for God to open doors and he will open them. But if we think wrong, wrong, we kick them closed. Amen. And if things are not opening the way you know they need to be opening, it's not always just prayer. Sometimes it's just a renewing of the mind that needs to happen. Amen. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. We're all just here to be a blessing. I love something dad Hagin said. He prays every day. When he'd get up, he said, I pray every day. Make me a blessing today. Amen. And that's all we're after. We're not after to get our ministries out there. I don't. You know, I was talking to somebody. They were very precious. They were sweet. They were asking me, you know, what things do you have in place now that the ministry is growing? And I said, can I tell you my number one goal? Stay as Small as I can for as long as I can. And I said what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the organization side side, the office side. Because I don't want a big machine I've got to feed. Because you can grow a machine God never built. Now I want the. The reach to go. The the word to go as far as it can go. But I'm not trying to build a big machine here at the home base so I can look like I'm growing it's reach in fruit. That is growth. It is not. It's not the base and the size of it that's growth. Amen. Because except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it, they. I don't want vain labor. I don't want vain labor. And Jesus said, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Jesus is the only one who can build something that heaven can't, that hell can't prevail against. You can't build something on your own that hell can prevail against. That anything we build, hell can take it over. You say no, he can't. Oh yes he can. If heaven didn't build it, if it's not part of the plan. Amen. Amen. Well, praise the Lord. Just a little bit of reminders. We know these things, but these things we have to be refreshed in. So we check motive. Motive is everything. It's everything. It's everything. Amen. Because there are a lot of people who had an anointing but lost it all because their motive was off. Amen. Praise the Lord. Well, thank the Lord. Father, we thank you. We're learning. We need to know these things for this era. And we thank you, Father. We thank you for helping us, these people, how the earth needs what you've put in us. And we're so grateful to be a carrier of that which this earth cries out for. And we thank you for helping us to live accurately. Father. We only want where you want us to be. We only want what you have for us. Because that is so far better than anything we could desire for ourselves. And everything that you have for us can only be fulfilled one way. Walking in the spirit as one in him. Amen. Hallelujah. Have you ever had the sense of I've got. I just. I just want to fulfill the plan. I want to fulfill the plan. Well, relax. Relax. Quit worrying about whether or not you're fulfilling the plan and getting in fear. Just walk in the spirit every day. Just be sensitive. You can only fulfill it in the spirit anyway. You can't fulfill it in worry. Amen. Praise the Lord. It's to be enjoyed. I. I told God a long time ago, told the devil a long time ago when he tried to push on my head about ministry. And I said this, I refuse to dread what I'm born for. I will only enjoy every moment of what I'm born for. I will not be anxious. I will not feel like, oh, I can't do it, no, I can't do it. But he can do it through me. And to worry is to doubt his ability. Amen. Well, praise the Lord. We trust you've enjoyed this message.
