5. Teaching by Wendy Preston: Joining to God’s “Able”

(56:43–119:17)

• Introduction: Wendy Preston is welcomed, celebrated for 25 years of pastoral ministry (55:56–56:43).
• Main Message:
  • Prophecy Inspiration: Shares John G. Lake’s vision of a “new manifestation coming from heaven... sweetness, love, tenderness” (59:53).
  • Core Scripture: Ephesians 3:20-21—“Now to him who by, in consequence of the action of his power that is at work within us, is able to carry out his purpose... superabundantly, far over and above all our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams.”
    • Notable Quote: “God wants us to be connected to my able. Not navel—A-B-L-E.” (57:48, Wendy Preston)
  • Key Points:
    • Start from the Top: Paul’s prayer began with the “greatness of His plan,” focusing on God, not one’s own needs (62:34).
    • Prayer Ingredients: Reverence, awareness of position, rootedness in love, fullness in God, guarding the heart (“Don’t waste it on mental prayers”—73:36).
    • Practical Example: Tells a story of accidentally cooking flower bulbs—a metaphor for prayers that seem right but lack the true “ingredient” of the Word and the Spirit (72:50).
    • Becoming an Exception: Teaches from the story of the leper in Matthew 8—those who become “exceptions” receive from God by prioritizing worship over need, stepping out in faith from the crowd.
      • “The leper was exceptional... healing came second. The worship came first.” (92:07, Wendy Preston)
      • “Would you be an exception? Would you be one? Dare to pray like that?” (94:35)
    • Manifesting God's Ability: Emphasizes speaking only the Word, not rehearsed or mental prayers—“Stop giving attention to things that shouldn’t be there... treat the devil like the naughty child in the room.” (107:10)
    • No Pleasure in Delay: “Jesus takes no pleasure in delays. Love acts.” (108:53)
    • Casting Cares: Cites Kenneth E. Hagin’s advice about preparing oneself—getting into a place of peace before casting cares (109:30).
    • Bigness of God: “You gotta keep His bigness in mind all the time... God’s able has to be greater than any need or desire.” (87:15, 87:51)
    • Final Charge: Fellowship with God is the highest calling; maintain the perspective of His bigness.
  • Closing Prayer: Calls the congregation “exceptionally blessed, exceptionally whole, exceptionally ready to follow you.” (119:17)

Timestamps:

• Wendy Preston introduction: 55:56–56:43
• Message begins: 56:43
• John G. Lake prophecy: 59:53
• Ephesians 3:20 teaching: 62:33

[E]

She just.

[A]

[A]

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

[C]

I can't praise him enough. He wonderful.

[A]

And we're just rejoicing watching her move.

[D]

Right.

[C]

I did it. I knew I'd get it if I could just make it through the service. Just make it through last night. And then this morning, I felt like I got everything that I wasn't even expecting with that praise and the joy back in me. Instead of thinking about healing all the time.

[A]

Right, right, right.

[C]

I started thinking about all that God can do, everything that he can do.

[D]

He's more than enough. More than enough.

[C]

Oh, and I feel his presence so, so heavy.

[A]

And that's what she's talking about. When we're need minded, we're entrenched in the need. But when we're word minded and praise minded, we're entrenched in the answer. Amen. Amen. Receiving it is connected to where your attention is. Amen.

[B]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[A]

Thank you, love. We're so glad you came. God bless you. So good to see you, Ms. Shelley. Y' all help y' all help her down, but I want Ms. Shelley to stay because I want Ms. Shelley to tell a little bit of something she told me after she gets here.

[B]

Loving,

[A]

you were talking about a relative that had Covid at one point. And when Jesus. I want to. I want you to tell what Jesus said. You know what I'm talking about? I sure do.

[E]

He was in ICU for 13 days. His spirit left his body. Covid. When he came back, he said, I saw an organized army of demons in dark fatigue. They were strategically marching toward me, and I knew if they reached me, it would be certain death. And all this time, Jesus was at his right hand. And he kept thinking, jesus, why don't you do something? They're getting Closer and closer. And he could feel the pressure of death. And all of a sudden, out of desperation, he said, in the name of

[C]

Jesus, you're not going to touch me.

[D]

Go.

[E]

And just like that, they turned around and immediately started marching away from him. And Jesus put his arm around him and said, son, and he smiled. Did you see how easy that was?

[A]

Why? Because he already did the hard part. He already did the hard part. And notice he was waiting for Jesus to do something. And Jesus is waiting for him to do the easy part. Amen.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[A]

Praise the Lord. That's what I wanted you to get. If you call it hard, it becomes hard to you. But if you will treat it as easy as it is, Amen.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[A]

Paul called it. Don't be beguiled by the serpent. From the simplicity of the gospel. It's simple and it's easy. And then when it's turned hard, the devil is working on your mind. He's trying to beguile you into a hard flow because he knows in the hard flow you're bypassing the easy flow. But we're. We're. We're. We're gaining lot. Amen.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[A]

What about you, love? What is it you need? Yeah. Huh? Yeah. Father, we thank you. We thank you. We. We thank you. Whole. In Jesus name. In her neck, her feet. Whole from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. Father, we thank you. We thank you for your restoration, resurrection, power. We thank you, Father. We believe you. We release our faith for healing, for wholeness. It belongs to us. And we thank you for it. In Jesus name. In Jesus name.

[B]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[A]

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. What is it with you, love? Hey, I'm great. Thank you. Yes. Amen.

[C]

Amen.

[A]

Father, we thank you. Yeah.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[A]

Father, we thank you for that anointing that destroys every yoke. And I say be whole. Be free. Every bit. Every bit whole. In his name. In his name. We thank you for it, Father.

[B]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[A]

What is it that you need? Love? You're diagnosed with tumors, stage 4 cancer for the second time. Yeah. Amen. Praise the Lord. Amen. Amen. Father, we thank you for your presence that draws us and your anointing and your power that ministers to us. And we thank you, Father. Free.

[C]

Whole.

[A]

Whole from that. Every bit of that. Dry up. Every. Every bit of it. Go. In Jesus name. Take your hand off of him. In Jesus name, Satan. You take your hand off. And we thank you, Father. For your power working. What about you, love? Diabetes.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Father, we thank you.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[A]

What about you, love? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, can I tell you this? My husband went home to be with the Lord in 2013, unexpected. And I. I decided that I would not live with a vacancy. A sense of something missing. And I know this. Everything that someone else was to us, Jesus becomes to us, and he fills that space with himself. So we get better than what we had. Amen. So know this, that anything of missing someone that's troubling, if it's troubling, it's the wrong flow. Amen. And if I could say this, if we'll change from. I remember I was talking to a minister's wife. Her husband went home to be with the Lord, and for the first year, she really struggled. And she said, jesus, I recognize I'm struggling, and I shouldn't be struggling the way I am. She said. And I like her question. She said, what would you do differently if you were me than what I'm doing? It's a good question. And he said, I would quit focusing on what you think you lost and focus on what he gained. So it's a shift of attention. It only takes a moment to make that shift, that shift. Amen. And it's not someone's exit is not to be your troubling. Amen. Yeah, it's troubling all over again. From the troubled childhood. Yeah. So even though when she was here and she allowed a troubled childhood and really participated in a troubled childhood, now that she's gone, you're troubled by. It's. It's. It's because it's a spirit that continues. It's a spirit that operated through her to trouble you, that although she left, the spirit didn't leave. So we stay free. We stay free and just know. Absolutely. Absolutely. And so, Father, we thank you. The years that the canker worm ate that. We thank you that what she missed out on as a child and what she endured as a child in Christ, all that's fixed. And now she's in Christ. You're born again, right? You're in Christ. So what? Everything that troubled you as of the old man, the new man is not troubled, but the devil tries to work the old things on the new man. And that's why we put off. We put off. Paul said in Ephesians, he said, put off the old man, meaning before we were born again, the old man taught us a way of thinking, a way of speaking, a way of responding. But now that the new has Come. We put off what the old man taught us. See, that was where the Israelites missed it leaving Egypt. That they left the old location. God was trying to get them into the new location. They carried new health, they carried new wealth, but they carried old thinking. They never brought their thinking into agreement with what God said. And so their thinking held them out. So we put off old thinking. We put off. Because what is classified to old thinking? Listen, how about a troubled past, a troubled childhood? Now, psychology will tell you talk it out, but when you talk it out, you let it in. And the thing is, we're not acting like it didn't happen. Jesus just did the right thing with what happened. He nailed it to the cross, buried it, and then raised you completely free. And you don't have to get anything because the new creature possesses everything. Does that make sense to you? And so now it's just changing the way we think. To come into line with, I put off the troubling that happened with the old man, and now I put on the new man in my thought life. Because he's never troubled us. In Christ, there's no troubling. Amen. So, Satan, you take your hands that which has troubled her. We recognize you're the source of troubling. So we say, be free, be refreshed, be joyful, and live as free as you are. In Jesus name. In Jesus name.

[B]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[A]

Praise the Lord. What about you, love? For hearing? Yeah. Father, we thank you. Those ears open in Jesus name. Yeah. There went that anointing in you. There went that anointing. What about you, love?

[E]

Hi.

[A]

[B]

[A]

Father, we thank you. Everything that is wrong, made right. Everything. Every be whole in Jesus name. Every bit of it. Go. Every bit of it. Go. Say, father, I'm in your care. And in your care is anointing that destroys every yoke. So now I'm free. I receive that anointing with my spirit in my heart. And I thank you for it. And I thank you for it. In Jesus name. So you only have one easy assignment when you leave this place. That anointing is working in me and has made me whole. That's what you say. And you. It's working in me and it's made me whole. It's working in me and it's made me whole. Amen. And when you're driving home. And when you go to sleep, when. If you wake up in the middle of the night, when you wake up in the morning. Can't wait. Keep saying it. Keep saying it. It's working in me. It's working in me right now. Right now. And you did well. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Now we know how to join our faith to that anointing. Okay, so I said this morning something God said to me in the rejoicing power flows. Do you know one way of rejoicing is thank you, Father. The anointing is working in me. Thank you, Father. That anointing's working in me. And I'm whole. It makes me whole. I'm whole. I'm whole. I'm not trying to get it. That anointing was ministered to me, and it's working. Amen.

[B]

And so we release our faith and we say, father, we thank you for sending the right laborers across his path and cause him. Cause him to not enjoy what he used to enjoy because there's greater enjoyment that you have for him. And so we thank you for the plan of God coming to pass in Jesus name.

That's all outside of Christ. But we're in Christ. And so none of that belongs to us. And we won't permit or allow anything that Christ didn't make ours. So we thank you that all your best Father is ours. All your best, Father is ours. Just keep moving that, sister. Just keep moving that.

And I'm so grateful that many times angels get involved. No, not because they're healers, but because they. They're ministering something good. They cooperate with healing power. Jesus is the healer, but they cooperate with healing power. And if something needs adjusting, they do it. And you say, why are you talking about it? Because talking about them gives them permission to do it.

[B]

Amen.

[A]

Because we agree with anything God employs in our behalf, and they are expressions of his power.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[A]

Shelly, you got to tell the story before we sing it.

[C]

Whichever one you want.

[A]

But I like the one. It's story time.

[C]

You may be seated.

[E]

Is that. Oh, where the song came from? Okay. We shared that at practice rehearsal, didn't we? And it gives God glory.

[A]

Yes.

[E]

The story of this song, it came from the back of a candy bar wrapper.

[C]

The song.

[E]

The song did.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

There was a little lady with five children from the state of Washington. And by a series of events, she ended up at a KOA campground in Catoosa, Oklahoma, living in a tent. And through connections, she found her way to Billy Brim Ministries, Collinsville, Oklahoma. And on one Wednesday night, she shared this testimony. She said, I read in the Bible where a man's gift will make a way for him. And I said, lord, what's my talent? What do I do? I need a gift. And all of a sudden, she said, it was a full moon that night. God gave her special faith. There's a such thing as special faith, the gift of faith. And I looked at that moon, and it was such a divine moment that if I asked God for the moon, I knew he would give it to me. So I asked him to make me a songwriter. Now, this lady didn't know a quarter note from a half note. And she couldn't even keep a tune. She couldn't even play an instrument. But with childlike faith, she received that gift. So she heard on the radio the next day a Texas accent from a man by the name of Reverend Kenneth Cole, Brooklyn. And he said, repeat after me. I'm blood bought. So she repeated that I'm blood bought. I'm Holy Ghost taught. So she repeated, I'm Holy Ghost taught. She said, immediately her ears were open, and she became God's secretary. She said, I didn't write the song. I simply took dictation. It came from heaven.

[A]

Hallelujah. But I want you to add to what Happened to her situation. Because you're right, sister.

[E]

Yeah, because mom called me. I was living in Fallbrook, California with my family, young family. She said, there's a lady that came to our church and Shelly, you need to record this song. Now this lady didn't have clean paper in her tent. So she went into the trash and found that empty candy bar wrapper and wrote, there is a book of life. My name is written down. The law, sin and death cannot hold me now. And we recorded it at Kenneth Copeland Ministries. And the people who were there, the musicians, they said, where did you get these songs? All of them came from her.

[A]

For your whole album?

[E]

For the whole album. Except for Higher Ground. Every one of them came from her. And the royalties were so great. The song did really, really well in Australia. It made number three that she was able to get a new house, a new car, some new clothes and do her looking good walk for Jesus.

[C]

Oh yeah.

[E]

Okay, are we ready, girls? We practice.

[A]

I call them my gloriettes.

[D]

Hallelujah.

[A]

There is a book of life. My name is written down. The law of sin and death

[D]

cannot hold me now because I'm washed in Jesus blood. He washed me white as snow when I stepped into that cleansing floor. Come on, help me sing it. But I am brought up. I am Holy Ghost Heart I'm redeemed. I've been set free. Oh I love all. I am Holy Ghost talk I redeem.

[C]

I'm free in the world thee. Well there's a marriage supper plan.

[C]

You know, Jesus appeared to brother Norval,

[E]

and brother Norville said. Jesus told him, son. Can't do brother Norville. Invitation, can you, David?

[C]

No.

[E]

Okay. But you know how brother Norville is. You got a son. This is Jesus talking to brother Norville. You know the testimony where Jesus killed him in his car? I mean that in a good way. The old man died. He became a new creature in Christ.

[C]

That didn't come out right, but you get it.

[E]

Why am I doing this? I have no idea. But anyway, so Jesus told brother Norville, you have to say over and over again, I'm free. My children need to say it over and over again, I'm free. I'm free.

[C]

I'm free.

[E]

And, you know, brother Norville, you'll say, my brother and sister. You have to say it thousands of times a day. I'm free. And Jesus said, that's the most important thing that my child can learn to say. Think about it. The most important thing. Jesus said. It's the most important thing for us to say. I'm free. I'm free. Hallelujah.

[B]

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

[A]

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Let's just lift up our hands, lift up our voice, can't we? We say that. What a God he is.

[B]

Hallelujah.

[A]

And the wonderful thing about it, he's ours and we're his. And that was his plan. Amen. I'm going to ask the ushers. Go ahead and bring the pulpit back up, if you would. I don't know where that is. Thank you so much. Several years ago, Sister Pat Harrison came and she was part of our ladies conference and it was always such a joy to have the time with her because she is a spirit woman, word and spirit. And the move of the spirit was always so fresh in her services. And in one service, she spoke in tongues, and then she. She kind of gave a motion for someone to come, and she handed him the mic to interpret what she said. And it. I'd never met this woman that gave the interpretation, but when she gave it, it was so weighty. It carried such utterance, carried such an anointing. And from that time, we've gotten to be in services with this. This lady, Ms. Wendy Preston. And Mrs. Wendy Preston. Excuse me. Yes. Your husband would prefer that. And she has pastored. In fact, I've forgotten how long you have pastored.

[C]

25 years.

[A]

25 years. And her son has now assumed the pastorate that she held in. In the uk. And so they have been around here a little bit more, and we are so grateful that they have been. And so I especially wanted her to come and minister to you. And I want you to know you are in for a great blessing tonight because this woman makes it so easy. And that's. That's due to skill. And so I want you to give Ms. When Mrs. Wendy Preston a great big God bless you as she comes tonight.

[C]

You may be seated. I don't know how to follow the dancing, the singing, and we've already had church, and Jesus is here, and it's just been thrilling. I'm happy with that, aren't you? So I don't sing, and you'll be so glad to know that. Thank you very much, Pastor Nancy, for asking me and for trusting me and to have a complete stranger in your pulpit two years ago, I. It took me a while to get over that. But it's a joy to be with you. And I've got to know so many of you, too. Made so many friends and see familiar faces, and it's just lovely to be here. As we were driving here this evening, I thought, look at that oasis over there. We just came around the corner. I thought, how nice to have this oasis of anointing sitting, waiting for the world and each one of you a carrier of the glory of God where you live.

[D]

Wow.

[C]

And we get to be together, and it's just so rich. Praise the Lord. Amen. Let me just have a word of prayer as we shifting gears here this evening. Father, thank you for your goodness and all these beautiful people I get to call family. Thank you for surrounding me with people that have a part of you that I don't have, but we need each other. And Father, I'm so thankful for everyone here, every precious heart. Father, it's an honour to be in their midst. Thank you Lord for utterance and guidance tonight. To say what you'd have me to say, that it would be a blessing. I thank you, Father. In Jesus name, amen. Amen. Well, this is a prayer conference, but you know what? Prayer and healing go together. So I'll be touching on that, but not specifically about healing. Because we've seen Jesus demonstrate so beautifully tonight that it's his desire that we all be whole. But I like to begin whenever I talk about prayer. I can't help but think about signs and wonders, seeing in the spirit. I can't help thinking about seeing and knowing. And so I always like to begin with this prophecy that struck me so well many years ago. And it's something that John G. Lake said, a prophecy that he had that I'm sure you're quite familiar with. But I like this. And he said this and I'm just, just. I'm just hung up on the first three words in this prophecy that he had. Well, really a vision. And he said this. I can see. My heart goes, ah, isn't that right? I can see. He says, I can see that there's coming from heaven. How many know that's where it all comes from, right? Comes from heaven.

[E]

Heaven.

[C]

It's in our hearts, right?

[E]

Right.

[C]

But he said he could see something. He could see something coming. And I know that Pastor Noel this morning touched on that too. If you remember, he was so much in the spirit, it was such a joy to listen. But he, John G. Lakes said this. I can see that there's coming from heaven, a new manifestation, manifestation of the Holy Spirit in power. And that new manifestations will be in sweetness, in love and in tenderness. Don't we need that? I mean, instead of this head banging stuff, do you know what I mean? Praying till you get a religious headache. You know what they're like, bang, bang, bang, all of that, you know what I mean? Breaking through something that you isn't there. I'm just saying it as it is. And so because we're, as Pastor Nancy preached, I believe a few months ago, we're already through. And so we were glad for that teaching. And so there's new manifestations will be in sweetness, in love and in tenderness beyond anything your soul or mind ever saw. The very lightning of God will flash through men's souls. Glory to God. How is that going to be able to happen if we're not operating in all that we've been given. You know what? Everything about us is for others, isn't it? Is it just about us? It's a hurting world out there. And it's our part to take the power of God, the demonstration of God, and to know how to pray. So we're going to go to a very familiar scripture to you today, and we're going to look at Ephesians 3 and verse, chapter 3 and verse 20 and 21. Very familiar. And this came from when I was thinking and considering praying about my time here. The Lord said this to me. I want my people to be connected to my able. I want my people to be connected to my able. Not navel, A, B, L, E. Right. I'm sorry. I do have a sense of humor.

[D]

If I.

[C]

If I have fun, just leave me alone. I'm very comfortable in my skin. In verse 20, it says, now to him, now to him who by, in consequence of the action of his power. Amplified classics. That is at work within us. Us. And there's a work going on within us. Even when you're sleeping, there's a work, there's a plan, there's a movement, something's happening. A work within you is able. He's able. He is able. Right? He is able to carry out his purpose. We could stop right there and say this. Not your purpose. Not my. Not my purpose. It's his purpose to demonstrate that we would stand as glorious ones. Right? Right. Glorious one. Looking at glorious people tonight. Because the glory of the Lord has risen upon you and Christ in you. The hope of glory, that's all of you. Regardless of how you feel tonight. Regardless if you want to go home and have a box and put a pillow over your head. Regardless of that, God's at work and he wants us to match his able. Hallelujah. Praise God. And so what he's doing is he wants us to carry out his purpose, but he's working in us to do super abundantly. Super abundantly. Far over and above all. Above, above. Not lower than above all. Hallelujah. Above all, our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams. To him, only to him be glory in the church. Thank the Lord and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. So here we go. Not only do we have to show a present hurting world, but it has to continue through the generations until Jesus comes. So we have a big responsibility to live from his able. Right? Praise the Lord. So we get to see amazing picture tonight and insight into the Apostle Paul's wonderful revelation. Of Jesus and the plan. It's all about the plan, ladies and gentlemen. You didn't come here by accident. You wanted to come to the earth and God gave you a spiritual backpack. And so don't complain when you get here because you are equipped to do this, right? Praise the Lord. So in Ephesians 3:14, let's look at the window, and let's look through the window of the Word into the story a little bit, and it will help us to see how we're to pray. Here's this man with an amazing revelation from Jesus. Can you imagine how weighty that must have been on him? My goodness. And so in Ephesians 3:14, it starts for this. Look how it starts for this reason, seeing the greatness of this plan. I mean, oh, my goodness, what a great way to start praying. It's about the greatness of his plan. Nothing else fits except the greatness of his plan by which we're built together in Christ. And then he says this so humbly. I bow my knees before the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ. I'm just happy. I'm just happy. I think it's beautiful. Simple. We know it, but it's powerful. I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Notice. Notice that the Apostle Paul started from what we've heard this week and what we've seen demonstrated. Started from the top. Started from the top with his praying. Positioned him, positioned himself, but started from the top. I bow my knees unto the Father. Praise the Lord. But he starts praying from God's greatness and the plan. I bow my knees for the plan. You know, some of us might need to do that because if we to join ourselves to his able, we'll find ourselves in his presence, as we've heard today taught so beautifully that. The fact is that anything, if that's the most important thing to us, if he in himself, in his entirety, is the most important thing to us and his plan, do you think anything else can stay? Come on now. If we have problems, they can't stay. But you know what it needs to be? Our focus needs to be God and his plan. So when something comes along, we go, no, no, no, that's not my interest. That's not going to take my focus. It's God's plan. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. So the first picture we see is the Apostle Paul upon his knees in his closet. It's like a window into the Apostle Paul. There's a window into how he is to the Apostle Paul bowing his Knees in his closet, door open. And we hear strong crying and tears. Because here's a man that's been given a weighty task to deliver revelation. And there's many of you in this room tonight. You've heard from God. You have a revelation from God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And it's coming out, whether it's in book form, if it's in song form, if it's walking somewhere, whatever it is you. If you haven't got one yet, you will. And we can learn from this because this is keep us to live from his able. So he's leaning before the living God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. And look at this. And he's saying, I'm praying to the 1. Look at how he recognizes God. I'm wondering, do we pray that way? He's recognizing God in his position and who he is. Before he asks for anything, before he even knows how to pray about this revelation, that everybody would receive it. He's kneeling before the living God. The head. He's the head. The head. He's the head of one family in heaven and on the earth. He's recognizing the bigness of God, the entirety of the greatness of God, the bigness of the power of God, the weightiness of the word of God. Hallelujah. The bigness of the impartation that he received a revelation for the church, so much so he didn't care what he personally went through. The greatness of God was bigger to him than anything he experience. There is a place in God, ladies and gentlemen, where the evil one touches you not. Praise the Lord. And he was speaking of the belonging. I'm a member of the family on earth, and I'm a member of the family in heaven. So what's he praying about? There's his entrance to his prayer. Hallelujah. And I know we know this. We've been told to pray this. Those of us have been schooled in the Bible. But I wanted to look through the window. Praise the Lord. What is he praying about? He's praying about the unfolding of the revelation of this amazing plan of God. Hallelujah. Praise God. And he points out ingredients. There's ingredients to pray the plan. There's some things that you need to know. It's a little bit like a recipe. Not that I cook. I'm told that there are recipes. If it comes in a box, that's great, but there are recipes. I'm trying to understand. Let me stop and tell you a funny story because it fits right here. And So I was frying onions to go with a meal for my family. Sarah remembers that she's still recovering and in England. I don't know how you do it here, probably the same way. But I'd gone to the garden center and I bought flower bulbs, like daffodil bulbs to plant in your garden. I put them in my vegetable rack with the onions. You know what's going to happen, right? They look the same. I mean, they were sprouting a bit on the top. I thought, oh, old onion. Just an old onion. So it chopped the bulbs. Chopped just like an onion. I fried them just like an onion. And then my children said, tastes a bit funny. And so anyway, I came to see that I had indeed cooked the flower bulbs. Now, here's the thing. Here's the thing about it. Similar in our prayers. Similar. We can pray something that looks the same. We can pray from our head, something that we think we've read in the Word.

[D]

Come on.

[C]

We can actually almost taste it. Similar to the Word. But if it's not the Word, there's no power.

[D]

If it's not the Word of God,

[C]

it's a bulb, right? False. And so we've got to get our position. We've heard this today, said so beautifully. We have to get our position, right? The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Right? The Father of heaven and earth. I'm praying about his plan and all that he's put inside me. So even if you don't know what's inside you, I'm telling you something is from God because you're born again and you carry a treasure. So don't waste it on mental prayers. Hallelujah. So after the reverence. So Paul's done the reverence bit. Come through the entrance and remember, we're having a window into the way he did the this. He said this in verse 16, that he would be strengthened. That he wanted to be strengthened with the might of God in his inner man. That was his desire. Why did he want to be strengthened? Because he's carrying something weighty. I'm telling you, if you don't guard your heart, you'll start to get weary. The devil tries to weary the saints.

[A]

Guard.

[C]

Guard. The fact that you're born again. Guard. The fact that you're filled with the Holy Ghost. Guard. The fact that you're on the earth and you're on a mission, ladies and gentlemen, because all the issues of life, all the ability, all the able that's in there by God is available to us, us. And we have to watch out for it. You're not touching my ability. God, that's how we need to be. Hallelujah. I remember this before I go on, a dear friend of mine, very kind, harsh, but kind in correction. Wasn't like Jesus at all. Anyway, I had. Something had happened to me, and I was hurting, and I went to him, I said, I'm really hurting. And he said to me, that's your fault. I want to say I thought you were a Christian because. Because I was saying tonight, you know, that the way Jesus corrects me just feels like you're wonderful, Wendy. Thanks a lot. Until. Until I read something to my daughter. Oh, my goodness. I'm glad he didn't say that to me, because he says it so kindly. You don't realize you're being corrected. Anyway, my friend corrected me. Your fault. I said, what do you mean? He said, well, you're surrounded with a hedge of protection. You let it in. You allowed. You allowed to be hurt. And we do, don't we? We start to say, I don't know how that person could do that to me. I didn't do anything to them at all. How could that have happened in my life? And then we work at. We work at. Oh, God, help me to walk in love. Help me. I know I've got to walk in love. I know I've got to bless them. You know, what can I do? Buy a chicken? I don't know. Just do something. I gotta look like I'm walking in love. And I don't feel like walking in love. I don't like it. I don't particularly like them right now. But you know what? If we guard our heart, none of those little niggly foxes that nibble at the vine can touch your treasure. And this. This is one way, when we access God, this way that keeps the little foxes away. I told you, it's simple. Tonight I only do simples. And then he asked this. That Christ would dwell in our heart by faith. He's praying for us now. Can you imagine Apostle Paul praying for you? He did. Hallelujah. How can we dare not touch the ability of God for our life? When the Apostle Paul cried with tears for the church. Hallelujah. So that we in turn can then pray till Christ be formed in a hurting world or baby Christians coming to Christ. Praise God. We pass it on. Hallelujah. He left us a template. How to hook into Abel, hooking into ability in God. That we would be rooted and grounded in love so that nobody gets hurt when dirt's being flung just Duck. It's not yours. Hallelujah. It's not yours. So much. So my friend lived in this place of peace and protection. That he told this story to me to illustrate how to live. Because, you know, if we're not careful. We can so easily get the world mixed in with our life. Anyway, he was invited to a dinner party of some friends. He was glad to accept. And there was another couple there. He didn't know them. Christians. The fellowship gathering. And they had the first course. And my friend was extremely polite. He was a true gentleman. Gentleman. Speaking like he's dead. I think he's still on the earth. Anyway, I said, I haven't seen him for a while. He may not be a gentleman anymore. I don't know. Anyway, he was a true gentleman. When I knew him more closely. And so the language began to change around the table. And he didn't put up with it. He said this. He said, you know, it's been so wonderful being with you, but it's time for me to leave. And with every politeness in him, he excused himself from the table, from the room and from the house. I wonder how much we excuse ourselves from something that makes your spirit. And we have to watch. We don't have to put up with that. We don't have to grieve the Holy Spirit. We don't have to accept what somebody else tells us is acceptable. If it's not in line right with the local church you attend. Not in line with the word of God that they preach. But we do put up with things, don't we? Sometimes for the sake of others. Anyway, let's get on with our ingredients. Praise the Lord. And that we would all be filled with the fullness of God. That was the Apostle Paul's desire. That we'd be all filled. Filled with the fullness of God. How do you do that? I don't know. But Smith Wigglesworth used to go around saying, I'm filled. I'm filled. I'm filled. And in the speaking and in the declaring, enjoyed the fullness. Praise the Lord. I had the privilege of having his granddaughter as a friend for a short while. Because she was an elderly lady when I knew her. And I said to her, can you tell me some stories of your grandfather? I don't want to hear the stories that are in the book. Because I don't want to read between the lines. I want, what was it like for you? And then in one letter that she sent me with some of the stories. I'm not speaking out of turn. I Do have permission to share this? In one of the stories, she wasn't well, and they are on holiday. And her grandfather, this is how he dealt with healing. They were in the lobby of a hotel, a lobby. And he came down for his breakfast, had his breakfast. And she said that, I don't feel well, Grandfather. And in the lobby, so you've got hotel people coming in and out. He just said, in the name of Jesus. Jesus, I rebuke that. And he just said, come on, let's go to the park. No change in her body. Nothing happened to her until the night service where he was preaching. And her ears had been stopped up, you know, not feeling well. And all of a sudden she could hear the rustle of Bible pages. Now, my point in sharing that was there's no drama. There was no drama in the way that he addressed what was not right. No drama in addressing what's not right. Be careful not to give drama attention. It's like the naughty child in the room. They get the attention because they're demanding it. What about all the good ones? Praise the Lord. So we've got to be careful not to pray nearly right, but pray right. So the answer really is to pick up your Bible. I mean, seriously, that's why I came to tell you, everybody got a Bible. Praise the Lord. But we can pray nearly right, but not right. And we need to practice so that we can receive from his able, because there's so much more. This all comes from God's rich treasury, you understand? There's life in Ephesians 3:20 that comes from his rich treasury. It's a place, a rich treasury, a supply of good God in every area of life, but not just for us. And I think this is where we've got to think about the others that we're called to. You're a carrier of something for other people. And we must remember that, I think, in our praying, as the Apostle Paul carried us. Praise the Lord. He is able. Let's have a look at some of his able in Hebrews 7 and verse 25. He is able to save us to the uttermost, completely, perfectly, and finally for all time. For all time. Not just one time. Not just one time. For all time. He's able. And we're going to hook into that right in praying. Thank you, Lord. You're able to hold me, to carry me. For all time. For all time. See this? You have to pray the Word. For all time and eternity. Those who come to God through him, since he's always living, to make petition to God and intercede with him and intervene for them. Oh, my goodness. Jesus is always at the ready to intervene for you. I can remember several years ago now being on an airplane, and it was at night. Actually, it was in America, and I was on my own. And I looked out the window and saw all the flickering lights. And I really tried to have a pity for. I mean, I had to really work at it. And I was looking out the windows and, Lord, look at all these people. They're all in their beds. They're probably all asleep. And I'm the only one awake. You know, when you try to have those moments, you're more mature than I am. And so he said, no, the pilot's awake. That's right. Okay. So I thought. I thought, let me try this again. That one didn't work. And then I said, oh, God, I don't like this. And I'm the only one. And no one's praying for me. They don't even know where I am. He said, I could raise up an Eskimo if I wanted to pray for you. You wouldn't know about it.

[D]

It.

[C]

I got stuck on the Eskimo thing.

[A]

What?

[C]

An Eskimo. Anyway, I unhooked that. And then he said, my prayer is not good enough for you. Yes. Yes. It's his job, ladies and gentlemen. It's what he does. So we can even imitate him and how he prays for us. In praying for others and for your own life, living from the place. As Pastor Noel said today so eloquently, Praise the Lord. He's always living, always living to make petition to God and intercede for us. In Jude 24, it says now to him who is able to keep you. He's keeping you. He's keeping you. Hallelujah. He's keeping you without stumbling, without slipping or falling. And to present you unblemished, Praise the Lord. Blameless, faultless, before the presence of his glory, in triumphant joy and exultation. So he's not dragging you to the throne, saying, here they are again. God I trust to pray for them. It's not working. Look what I pick up. No. With exuberant joy, he's representing each one of us, even if we've fallen in some way. That's his job. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. He's able to do what we are ask. And the scripture tells us he's able to do more than we dare even ask, think or imagine. I love the imagine word because I like to see if. If I can see It. I know I can have it. That's just Wendy, right? But it's word, too. Don't shut down what God might be showing you as I speak to myself. Praise the Lord. What a glorious expression of his vastness. You got to keep his bigness in mind all the time. You've got. You got to keep big in your mind all the time. Big, big, big, big. And when you reach big, you got to know he's bigger than that. You got to go big. Everything has to be big. He's big. Praise the Lord. And now here's the thing. You have to see that God. God's able, has to be greater than any need or desire that you have. It's all about him. When we keep it in perspective. So. So God is bigger than a voice in your life that says, ow, I hurt. God is. Is bigger than a need. He. He's bigger than how you feel. He is bigger than big. And we have to keep that perspective in our praying and in our approach to him. The bigness and his plan. The bigness of his plan. And then how it is. It's like hills melt like wax in the presence of the Lord. The Bible tells us that suddenly a need in your life or a care in your life seems smaller than God. Because when you're with God, you know, it's the only thing that matters. Nothing else matters. Everything, everything just seems to poof. Right? Praise the Lord. It is a mindset. Hallelujah. And then the other thing he said to me is this. You have to be an exception. The body of Christ is large, but it's those that would step out and be the exception. Seymour. So if you look at a story in the book of Matthew, chapter eight, there's a gentleman in this story that displayed.

[E]

This

[C]

was the way it was revealed to me. And God said, we need to be the exception. So let's look at this gentleman in Matthew, chapter eight. Let's look in the window of this story, verse one to three. And it reads that when Jesus came down from the mountain, it says great throngs in my Bible, but I prefer crowds. Throngs is kind of a funny word, isn't it? I just don't think I like that word. So I'm going to use crowds. And so great crowds followed him. Great crowds. Great crowds followed Jesus. Hallelujah. And behold, a leper came up to him. Look what he did first. Look what he did first. He was exceptional. He prostrated himself before Jesus. He pushed out from a throne. He pushed out from a crowd what courage. A man with a disease. At that moment, the disease was not as great as worshipping Jesus. Come on. That came second. Healing came second. Healing. Healing came second. The worship. We've heard that tonight. We've seen seen that tonight. God demonstrated it for us. He demonstrated the message tonight. Behold, the leper came to him, prostrating himself, worshipping him. Now here's the interesting thing. He said, lord, if you're willing. He knew the Lord was willing. What nonsense. He'd already heard of Jesus. He'd already heard things about Jesus. He knew Jesus was willing. He wasn't attaching the willing to him. Being able to do it. He was attaching to is an appropriate moment because he was prostrate, worshipping God. The disease was secondary because he knew what forced him, what forced him out of the crowd was that he knew. What separated him from the crowd was that he knew. Yes, he wanted to be healed, but he knew that he needed him. That's what took him out of the crowd to Jesus. There was something in him. Praise the Lord. And he said, you are able to cleanse me by curing me. Now, we saw this demonstrated tonight also. And Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, hand, touch and word, touch and word, touch and word. We saw that tonight. Everything that I'm saying that's written, we saw tonight. Praise the Lord. So crowds followed Jesus. We're still talking about hooking up to his able. Crowds followed Jesus, but there was only one here. There was only one man, the leper. You see, there were people in the crowd that needed healing and needed things. But they weren't exceptional. They weren't an exception. The leper did something exceptional. What he did was worshiped Jesus. That's exceptional to God. To go to God, thank him for his plan, speak about how big he is, and not ask for anything in that moment is exceptional, ladies and gentlemen, because most people go to God because they have a problem. And that's great. We can do that too. But don't forget the first bit. Don't forget the cake. Taste in. To put the cake in. Don't forget what comes first. And then work on the ingredients. He's the great God. He's the father of everyone in heaven and on the earth. That we would walk in love. Come on now. And that we'd be built up and strengthened in our inner man glory. Don't forget these things. These are ingredients to a healthy life that hooks us to Abel. That's not the name of God, by the way. I'm just saying so there was a difference between the leper and others. They all flocked to follow Jesus, but not as the man, not as men. Not as men that wanted something from Jesus, even though they needed something. And we hear that all the time, have an expectation to receive, right? So there were other people. Anybody in that crowd could have pushed forward. I want to get in on this. I want to lay. Wait a minute. I want his left foot. You have the right foot, I'll lay the left foot. Others could have joined in and done this, but they didn't. Only one man and one Jesus in a crowd. My goodness. So they flocked to follow Jesus, but not as men that wanted something from him. The crowds only wanted to see something, see something more, maybe hear something, or maybe curious. The leper, however, was an exception. I believe God is giving an invitation to us all. Would you be an exception? Would you be one? What does that look like? Dare to pray like that? I believe we all need to be exceptions in the time that we live in, because not everywhere is like here. Praise the Lord. The leper was sick in his head. His heart was faint. He didn't just need Jesus as a healer, but he knew that he needed him. His sickness was a prompt, for sure. Absolutely. But he's the one that stepped out. So the leper comes and kneels down, worships the Lord and what he had heard of Jesus previously. Look at this. Look at this. Had given it high thoughts of Christ. In other words, he was able to begin to think God's thoughts. They were beginning to work in him. When you hear the Word, it opens us up to be able to hear the thoughts of God, that we can then see the works of God. We can see things like we heard today from where we're seated. We get a. A view of being able to see. He began to get thoughts of God, high thoughts. And we have to hear these high thoughts because they separate you from the voices around you. On this level, we could call them the cares of this life. If you want to give them a name, pain. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. So we can submit and absorb his ability. Hook into his able have the high thoughts of God. And what I love about this man, this leper, is that he didn't come with eloquency of words. He didn't practice some kind of religious sentence. I don't know how long I've got with Jesus, so let me pick the right words so that he's impressed. No, basic heart. Heart. It's all about the heart. And the interesting thing Is the leper there doesn't come with rehearsed speech. He comes with his need and utters his thoughts of Jesus. He knows Jesus can heal him. But he was, if you like, recognizing his, in his thinking, his sovereignty, the bigness of God. You know, we've got to keep that bigness scene going. Keep the bigness going. And so he says this, and he casts himself upon God with the if, if, if you be willing. But it's not if in a negative sense. He's really saying in a way, you know what? It actually doesn't really matter anymore. It doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter because I've met you. There was something in his thinking that knew because he met him, he'd received all. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah, if you like. It's kind of faithful on his part. The cares of this life became secondary to him because his presence, you know, and for us, his presence is all we need. Am I okay for time? Okay. Praise the Lord. So can we look now on the side of the healer? Let's look through the window of this story now from the viewpoint of Jesus. From the scripture Jesus is carrying. Remember, he carries all the skill of heaven masterfully. And he put his hand. He put his hand and he does not shrink back. Don't shrink back from anything. Face it, don't shrink back, but tell it the bigness of God. You don't have to talk to the devil, you know, in the scripture, it tells us, come close to God, resist the devil, then come back to God again. When you come close to God, that you are ready, be full of the presence of God. The devil's not going to hang around you. You like slippery slickjack now. Because the anointing. Because of the anointing. Because of the anointing that you're drenched in the anointing. You have the anointing and nothing. It just slides off you. Hallelujah.

[D]

Slides.

[C]

Everything just slides off of you like water off a duck's back. Stay on the right side of the fence. So Jesus put his hand. He does not shrink back from the nearness of the leper. He's not afraid. He's not afraid of infections. He invites the approach. He invites. Why? Because he gets to display. Not for any haughtiness. He gets to provide. That's a better word. He gets to show who he is. He came to reflect the goodness of God to us that we may see and know that we can take it to others. And that's what he did. He didn't shrink Back.

[D]

No.

[C]

And in his kindness, he puts forth his hand. And we need to understand, his hand still wields the same way today through men. Hallelujah. He touched him. Hallelujah. And he's cured because of the touch and the word. Jesus touched him. And then he spoke. He touched him. Let me go back. It's probably in verse three, right? Jesus touched him and said, hallelujah. So the voice, the sound and the hand go together. Don't forget you have healing hands. Ladies and gentlemen, I was somewhere a few weeks ago and a lady said to me. She was from another country, and she had an interpreter. And she said, would you pray for me? Yes, to the interpreter. And she had a lump in her neck like a. Just like a golf ball, maybe bigger than a golf ball. And I refused to look at it, not giving it any attention. And she said, would you pray for lump? And I said, what lump? I was not going to give it any attention. I said, what lump? Because that cannot stand in the presence of.

[A]

Of me.

[C]

Hallelujah. When a prayer has been requested for the Lord Jesus Christ, then to heal it or remove it. I said, what lamp? And she went, oh, it's gone. I've now got a pimple. And I said, what pimple? What pimple? No pimple. I'm telling you, treat the devil like the naughty child in the room. Stop giving it attention. Stop. Stop. Stop nursing. Stop. Stop loving and comforting things that should not be there. I'm telling you, God will do it. If you put these ingredients together and worship Jesus and his plan and the greatness of his plan. Now, that's not true in every case. You understand that. That was just how I was led in that particular instance. It's never the same. But it was interesting to me because I didn't even want to look at it shrink. I don't care. I don't care if it stayed a month. Doesn't matter to me. To me it's done, Right? Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. And I want to say this to you. Jesus takes no pleasure in delays. Jesus did not delay ministering to the leper. And what we know is love is an act, right? Love acts.

[D]

Acts.

[C]

Love acts. It moves. It does something. Jesus is the voice of love and of authority. He speaks and it's done. He is the voice of power. He speaks and it's done. The same voice that says, let there be light. And there was light. Same power, same God. Same one who says, behold, step out from the crowd is being an exception. So what do we learn from this we looked at Ephesians that God is able to do superabundantly, over and above all that you ever dare ask, think and imagine, what is God doing? He's offering you everything. What's his is yours. You just have to hook up to his able. We know this about him. God answers you immediately. Isaiah 65, 24 says, it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer. And while they're still speaking, I will hear, praise the Lord. James 1:5 even tells us, if we lack wisdom in any way, let him ask of a giving God who gives to everyone liberally. Hallelujah. Ungrudgingly, without reproach in any way. Praise the Lord. So tonight I'm saying, allow your wobblies. Do you know what a wobbly is? It's. A wobbly is a. It's a moment, it's a w. Wobbly. I don't know what to do. Wobbly. So wobbly. Wobbly. So I'm trying to help you recognize a wobbly so you can allow the Lord to give you a calm heart. Praise the Lord. I don't think wobbly is in the Bible. And then I'm going to close with this because I think it might be helpful to us, those of you that remember Kennedy Hagan, and obviously you do through his writings, if you never met him or were with him. But he was my spiritual father, too, as he was to many of you in the room. And I just remembered this about him teaching. And you correct me if I'm wrong, those of you that were to close closer to him than I was. But he had a skill that he taught concerning casting your cares on the Lord. And he never just did it. He never just cast his cares on the Lord because he cares for us, you know, like. Like us. Today we go, oh, that's bothering me. I'm just going to give it to God. And then two or three days ago, today's time goes round the mountain. It's like, oh, there it is again, again. Where'd that come from? And the devil causes you to think about it. But brother Hagen learned this, that he prepared himself to cast his cares on the Lord. Do you remember that? And so. So he prepared himself. In other words, he got rid of his wobbly first. He got rid of his wobbly. What does that mean? He got quiet. Zacharias speaks about your flesh being quiet in the presence of the Lord. I think it's Zechariah 2:10, right? I don't know. Somewhere there. But anyway, he took care of his Wobbly before he dealt with the problem. Why? Because your flesh will try to dictate to you whether you did it or not. Or your mind or the devil will say to you, oh, you didn't cast your care on the Lord. No, you need to do it again. You just need to do it again and again and again. But he taught us this. He didn't use the word wobbly. I added that later. But that's how I recognize everybody has sometimes, you know, even ministers have a wobbly. And so he would have wobblies. And not speaking out of school. Well, I am. I'm not in school anymore, but you know what I mean. Sorry, I took everything literally. And so. But he would learn to position himself in the word, that he was calm, that he would worship God, pray in the Holy Ghost and get himself in a position that when he cast that care on the Lord, Lord, it's not coming back because he's not in a place to take it back. He positioned himself somewhere else. That place called There, wherever it is, everybody says, I'm not there yet. Where is there? But anyway, there is a there. It seems to be a there. The place in God call it there. Another book title there, right there. But anyway, that's why I came to say, don't give your wobblies. Get rid of your wobblies before you do that. Be exceptional. Be an exception to what the world will say and even Christendom to a degree that don't stand on the world word. Hallelujah. And so let me conclude with this verse where we started. Because I don't know about you. I'd like to have visions like John G. Lake or whoever you like to read after. I would like to grow in the things of the Spirit. I'd like to understand them more and more and more. I want to see more. I want to know more. Don't you? I want to know how to live in this life. When Jesus said, I came to give you life and life more abundantly, I came to God in my. I said, you know what, Lord, give me the ly. I don't want just abundant. I want the li. I want abundantly. I want the whole world. Praise the Lord. So let me conclude with where we started. Ephesians 3, 20, 20. Now to him, by the consequence of the action of his power that is at work within us is able to carry out his purpose. And we go. I know that. I know he's willing like the leper, but will he? So our response is, yes, carry out that work within Us. Thank you Lord that you are. That you're carrying out your purpose in my life. In your life. And please do. Super abundantly, far over and above anything that I could ever dare ask, think or imagine. Please do. Please do. Please do. I'm telling you, God needs you. Yes, Please do. And you will develop a conversation with God when you speak to God about his word. Not just agreeing it as some kind of practice and learned of the head, but talking to him about his word. There'd be glory in the church. Thank you Lord. It's bigger than me. It's for the church. It's for the church. It's for the church. Hallelujah. We get to love others. You're like. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. God is good. Father. We thank you that, Father. You've called us to look to your able and you've shown us, Father, that we can be an exception. We thank you, Father. And we call everybody in this room, everyone online, an exception. Exceptionally blessed, exceptionally whole, exceptionally ready to follow you. Father, we thank you for your magnitude, for your magnitude, Father. Thank you that we can think your thoughts, see what you see. Rearrange things in the world through prayer as you direct us. Change nations, do all sorts. Thank you, Lord. We give you praise. All right, so I just want to encourage you in the room. The Lord wants to encourage you, all of you in the room. One, you're not forgotten. You know that. Two, you are highly gifted and called of God for your life whether you're called to ministry or not. Not it's by the by, but we need to remember that our highest calling in God is not working for God. It's fellowshipping with God. It's knowing him is our highest calling. We can all enjoy. So keep things in perspective. Doesn't matter what you're called, to keep the perspective of the bigness of God. Hallelujah.
