Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message. Hallelujah. Thank you. We sing that. We sing that phrase together. He has made a perfect heart. You know, he doesn't want one facet of our life perfected and other facets unperfected. He wants the heart perfect. He wants the mind perfect. He wants the body perfect. He wants the finances perfect. He wants your marriage perfect. He wants your home perfect. He wants future generations perfect. Because he's not leaving anything untouched by his ability to make everything right. Amen. So what do I mean by that? Let's go. Not be okay with everything not being as it would please him. Right. And it pleases him when our hearts are right toward him, but also it pleases him when the body is right. Operating at optimum, living at optimum. And so we're going to minister along those lines tonight. Is that okay with you, Ms. Reba? Sister, sister. Brother David. My, my, my. Thank God for the supply of it. And we don't ever want to lay down what God brings to a room into our lives through worship because it facilitates further things of what God wants to do in a service. So thank you for all of us going there together. Amen. I'm just so glad I'm in the room. What about you? Just to be in this room and in this presence and in corporate faith. Corporate faith. Not corporate wondering, but corporate faith. Amen. I'm so glad to be here with you tonight. Love you. I love you. And we're just so grateful for your hunger because when we are hungry, hungry together, we can feed together and go further together. Amen. You can be seated if you would, and we'll see how far we go here. Brother David, I don't know if you just stay. You can be seated, but just be ever ready. Like the bunny. I'm reminded of something. I go back to it often because we have to. We have to stir ourselves up for things that we already possess so that we partake of what we already possess and not leave the possessed unenjoyed. And in reading dad Hagin's book called I Believe or I Believe in Visions. Right. That's one if you don't have, you need to have. And it's one you need to pull out. Just more than once. It's a reread. Periodically reread it because it happened to him. It's a record of some of the major visions he had. But it happened to him. But it happened for Us, the church. So we don't just read it as what God or what Jesus appeared to him about, but it's what Jesus wanted the church to know as well. And in the chapter called the Hospital Visitor, Jesus said to dad Hagin, he had fallen. He was much younger in ministry. He was traveling. He had been traveling for not a too terribly long time at that time. But he had fallen, had an accident, and he had injured his arm. And on the way to the hospital, the spirit of God spoke to him and said, don't worry about it, and I'll talk to you about it later. So it's so important to note, what does the Holy Ghost say at times like that? And the first thing that the Spirit of God. Well, the Spirit of God said, your arm is not broken. He said, a muscle is out of place. But he said, don't worry about it, and I'll talk to you about it later. That's so significant that Jesus said, don't worry about it. Why? Because worry closes the door to the power of God. If he would have gotten into worry, then the next thing God wanted to visit him about, Jesus wanted to visit with him about, would that have been interrupted if he would have worried? Because worry takes us out of the place of hearing. Yes. Amen.
- [05:08]
B
Amen.

A
It interrupts our hearing. And so dad Hagin went to the hospital. Of course, they verified what the spirit of God said to him on the way over. They had to put the muscle back in place, but they wanted to keep him for a day or two to observe him. And as dad Hagin was in that hospital bed, he heard the next day he heard footsteps coming down the corridor, and he assumed it was a nurse. He looked up, expecting to see the nurse come in, but Jesus walked in. And Jesus pulled up a chair and sat down next to his bed for the next hour and a half and talked to him. He talked to him about things personal, and then he talked to him further about ministry things. But in the course of that, there's so much that Jesus spoke to him about during that visitation. But there was one thing that Jesus said, and I keep going back to it. And that is, he said, it is my best that none of my children never, number one, be sick. Number two, that they never be operated on. And I'm not telling you not to have an operation. It's his best that we don't need one. And he said, number three, that they never have accidents. Jesus said that. So what are the three things Jesus said? It's my best that my children Number one, never be sick, never need to be operated on. Number three, never have accidents. Why? Because we're kept by the power of God. And then Jesus said, but very few of my people ever live in my best. Now that's where we can fix that. We can fix that. And he said, and then he gave three reasons why his children don't live in his best. He said, number one, they don't know what belongs to them. They don't know what I provided for them. Number two, even if they do know what's provided for them, they don't. They haven't developed their faith enough to receive it. And he said, and then there's number three due to disobedience. And he told dad Hagin, now that's the reason you had the accident, because you were in disobedience. So my. The stirring in me is in the body of Christ. We need to say, wait a minute, if that's his best, we need to set our faith on his best and quit being okay with it not being his best in our life. So if we get sick, we need to stop and say, wait a minute, not say, oh, well, everybody has this. No, not in his best, and we can live in his highest flow, or we can live in a lesser flow, but let's not be okay with the lesser flow when a higher flow is available. Because those three things that he says is a cause of why his children don't live in his best. They're all fixable on our side. Not on his side. On our side. Find out what belongs to us, develop our faith enough to receive it, and number three, be obedient. Amen. But we have to stir ourselves up for that. And. Well, let me jump around here because I wanted to. Let me find it real quick. Psalm 105, in verse 37, we know this passage. God delivered his people out of Egypt. And it's not just that he got them out, but how they came out mattered. How they came out and the way they came out. Psalm 105, 37 says, he brought them forth. He did it. He did it. And when he does something, it needs to smack of him. That's all I get. It needs to look like him, sound like him, be representative of Him. And it says he brought them forth also. It wasn't enough to just bring them forth, but he brought them forth with something with silver and gold. What's that mean? Provision. Provision. Can I tell you something about provision? Quit limiting provision to money. My God. Philippians 4:19. My God shall what it doesn't say my God will money. Come on, come on. Because we need so much more than money. We need supply. And so much of what God will do for us won't even involve money because it might involve people that are not. Don't belong to him and don't have faith. It might involve their money. But with you, all it might involve is favor. Yeah, right. Amen. You know what I'm saying? So don't get stuck on this word that money is all your prosperity. Any supply you need is your prosperity, including money. But don't limit it to money. So much in the mind of man believers is money, money, money, money. I need money. That's provision. That's prosperity. No supply. Because God supplied this ministry with restoration of an airplane. And it involved no money on our part. It involved him giving and a precious woman by the name of Carolyn Savelle obeying and restored back to this ministry an aircraft that was far better. Because when God restores, it comes back in multiplied fashion.
- [11:33]
C
Yes.
- [11:33]
A
Amen. Amen. Don't just give me what I lost. It better be better. Because everything with God is always advancement. And how many of you know when man creates plan A, that's the best he can come up with? And then he goes to plan B and it's a bit of a downgrade. And then he goes to plan C and it's even further a downgrade with God. Plan A is the lowest he starts with, and plan B just keeps getting better. We got scripture for that. The New covenant is better than the Old Covenant. So when the devil says, look what all you've lost, devil. When God restores, it just keeps getting better than I ever had before. Meaning this. My health gets better, not worse. My supply gets more abundant, not less. Supposed to. So it says, he brought them forth with silver and gold. I love that. He brought them forth with the wealth of Egypt, and then he sent them to a place where they couldn't spend it. Why? Because he's teaching them, you got money, but that is not your prosperity. I'm your prosperity. I'm your prosperity. And then he sent them to a place where they had to learn him as their provider. Not money as their provider, not gold and silver as their provider. So don't cheapen your redemption to money in dollar amounts, because all that's in Christ is your wealth. And don't dumb it down to something you can calculate on a calculator.
- [13:17]
B
Wow.
- [13:18]
C
Yeah.
- [13:18]
A
That's so good. Amen. Praise the Lord. I could go a lot of different directions, but then I'll veer off the plan. He brought them forth also with silver and gold. So this is how he brought them forth. And there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Not one. And it's estimated, what, about 3 million Hebrews? Think of it. 3 million. And you can't find one weak one among them. You can't find one faltering one among them, one stumbling one whose their legs don't work or their back is stooped over. And think about it. These are slaves, bodies. They've been in slavery, hard labor, not proper rest, not property care, not proper nutrition, not proper treatment. But they come out looking like they were never in. Because it matters to God how you come out. Not just that you come out, but how you come out looking like you were never in it. Because Shadrach, Meshach and Bennego came out with what? Without the smell of smoke on them. How they came out. Not just that they came out, but how There was no trace of any opposition except greater experience with God. They got more impressed with him that day. And Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Three men thrown into the fire. And King Nebuchadnezzar said, didn't we throw three men in? I mean, like, this man's losing it up here. And he said, lo, I see four men. Notice it didn't say Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego saw four men. It says, king Nebuchadnezzar saw four men. So there's more with you than you see. Amen. So much more than you see. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. They didn't need to see the fourth man. They were already loosed in there. They were already still alive. And fire they didn't need to see because they were the same seen ones, not burning. But this was a testimony to Nebuchadnezzar. You threw three in, and you don't know you just touched into a bigger company than three. And you better keep your hands off the three, because when they come out, you better know who you're dealing with. You're not dealing with three, you're dealing with four. Amen. This word feeble, means they came out. There was not one feeble one among their tribes. And it says the definition for feeble is not one of them lacking physical strength, especially as a result of age or illness. So don't buy into I'm getting older, so feeble has to be part. No, no, no. Now, if you accept that, God will let you have it. Because God always allows us to have everything we're okay with. But we're only okay with what he's okay with and what he authored. Amen. And know this. The Word tells us this, that the Amplified says this in the book of Psalm. It says that the strong spirit of a man will sustain him in bodily weakness and pain. Well, what's that mean? Is that telling us that we need to have bodily weakness and pain? No. It means that if bodily weakness and pain comes up, you have another place to draw from other than your body. You have a strong spirit that will override what's trying to happen in that body. Amen. Amen. And it will change that body. Amen. But in looking at this verse, and I went to Dakes commentary on it, and if you don't know who Dakes is, you need to find out. But he made this statement because this is what is stirring, that I've been stirred about this. He said the reason there was not one feeble person in all their tribes was because God healed them. Such is the will of God for men under the new covenant, which is based upon better promises than their covenant and is more glorious in power and provision than the old Mosaic covenant. It is to the shame of the Church to fall so far behind Israel in receiving promised benefits. Notice he's saying shame on the Church. Instead of being okay with it, we ought to, as the body of Christ, say, no more sickness in the body. No more sickness, no more weakness, no more feeble. Because if it wasn't acceptable to God in how these people came out of Egypt, how can it be acceptable for us to represent him any less than that under a better covenant? So why are we not. Because we're okay with what we have. And I'm just talking as a whole. We need to stir ourselves up, because these things will not flow automatically. We do not become automatic partakers. We do become automatic possessors. But partaking is up to our faith. Partaking is up to us knowing God, knowing what he's provided and not being okay with what he did not. Author. And I'm not called to cope with something that comes along from the devil. I am not to live my life harassed, not going to be harassed. Because in Christ there is no harassment. All harassment is outside of Christ. So how do we live, Pastor Nancy? Not being harassed? Because harassment really is such a lifestyle with so many harassed by fear, harassed by bad habits, harassed by perversions, harassed by, you know, doubt, harassed by unrenewed mind. All this harassed, harassed, harassed Trying to run as fast as they can. Trying to go as fast as they can. I'm convinced. If you ever walk into a mall, which I don't love to go shopping, I don't love to, but I do love to go. Clicking online. Clickety click, clickety click. Take that, Take that, that, that, that. See you tomorrow. One of the reasons I don't like to go shopping, you walk into some of these stores and the music is blaring so loud, you can't even converse hardly with the person that you're with. Right? And I have determined. I've decided I know why they play the loud music. Their minds are so troubled. They're trying to drown out a life that is just troubled. I'm not gonna live my life feeling like I'm chased. We're the head and not the tail. We're above and not beneath. If our life is smacking of something that's beneath and behind, we're in the wrong position. Turn around. What's that mean? We're to be in front of situations, not behind. Cleaning up the devil's opposition, cleaning up his message, cleaning up all the stuff he's done in our life. If we're doing cleanup, we're doing it wrong. And it's not the devil's fault. Ms. Reba, they liked you better. Praise the Lord. So I love this because we need to give ourselves a talking to. I'm talking about as the body of Christ. I'm not just talking to the room. I'm just talking at large. When Dake says, it is to the shame of the Church to fall so far behind Israel in receiving promised benefits, is it not logical that New Covenant Saints should meet the physical and spiritual qualifications of the Old Covenant? What then is wrong with the Church that it does not receive the superior blessings of the New Covenant? And then he answers it. He said, it is because of unbelief and widespread rebellion against the teaching of the Word. It is not because God has lost his power or does not care to live up to his obligations made in his New Covenant. It's up to us. Amen. When my husband, he was in his late 50s, and he went home to be with the Lord when he was 72. So this would have been maybe 15 years before. He went to the doctor one day, and the doctor said, you have cancer. Ed had no idea of it. And we went from that doctor's office. We had driven separately to the appointment, so we drove back home. But I arrived home a few minutes later than him. And when I walked in the house. My husband met me at the door and said, I've got the answer. And I said, what do you mean you've got the answer? And he said, well, I walked into the house and I said, God, you don't miss it? I've missed it somewhere. Where did I miss it? And God said two things. He said, for years, I've been dealing with you about proper rest. He said, you have not rested properly your entire life. He said, you would do better at a time, but then you would slip back into your old habits. And he said, your body is worn down that it cannot even fight on its own. The natural defenses aren't even working. And he said, but number two, he said, you've not been obeying me in the prophet's office. I tell you to say something and you won't say it. And Ed said, okay, I repent. I repent for not taking proper care of my body. And I repent for not obeying you in the prophet's office. You know, God didn't even have to really explain it. When we're. Listen, when we're missing it, we know we're missing it. There's no such thing as hidden sin. You were there. You were part of it. Yes, ma'.
- [23:54]
B
Am.
- [23:55]
A
You were there.
- [23:56]
B
Yes, ma'.
- [23:57]
C
Am.
- [23:57]
A
Yeah, yeah. Don't push it off into the unknown, into, you know. But Ed said, okay, Father, I repent. And God said, okay, it'll all be gone in 30 days. And on day 28, he went back to the doctor. And the doctor said, someone up there likes you. Cause there's no more cancer in your body. Glory to God. Amen. He could not just take healing scriptures and throw it at this need. Come on. He had to correct something. What was it? Obedience. That's what Jesus said to dad Hagin. That's one of the causes why my people don't live in my best. Well, I want you to know I love what Stephen said today. He was talking about a lifestyle of healing, that it is just our lifestyle. It's our daily. We get up and say, regardless of how we feel. We say, we are the whole, we are the healed. And we say. We say it every day. We quit waiting for feelings because we have already chosen. And it's a choice that we reinforce every day through what we allow ourselves to entertain. And quit looking around to other people and taking your cues from the unrenewed mind. When Ed went home to be with the Lord, I said to the kids, I said, we are not obligated to respond to this crisis, like people who don't know what we know, people who don't know what we know, they will respond a certain way. And I'm not saying that arrogantly or pridefully, but when we know what the Word says, God expects us to come in line with that. He will not coddle us in our flesh and in our soul. When we decide to step away from the Word that's on the inside of us, we sow the Word in us so that we can live it, not just so we can appreciate it. Yes.
- [25:46]
C
Yes.
- [25:47]
A
Amen.
- [25:47]
B
Amen.
- [25:51]
A
Amen. And so I just. So what Dakes wrote serves me what's wrong with us? What's wrong with us to misrepresent the Father that way? And what it does is we're not ringing the dinner bell of healing and miracles like we ought. And so the church is not making the kind of sound it ought to the world. When you go to your place of business and they say, how come you don't take any of your sick days? Because I'm just. Well. And your life is the testimony that you belong to another. And it shows up instead of us just talking manifests. Well, praise the Lord. I said, praise the Lord. Now I'm getting to somewhere. Amen. Amen. Hmm. We in the body of Christ, if we're struggling to really. And I mean, I throw myself in on this. I'm not just pointing at anybody. I put up with too much. Anybody else. Anybody else ever put up with too much? Listen, what we don't resist has permission to stay. Yes. Amen. Amen. The failure to resist is the permission for the wrong thing to stay. And we are the life of. The life of faith is a life of resistance. And not in the negative flow, but in the reigning and ruling flow. And we're constantly. If it shows up and it doesn't come from God, we resist it. We don't have to wait for a feeling. We don't have to wait for a prayer line. We don't have to wait for church. We just stand up and we resist it. And I want to say this. Quit thinking that walking with God is something you labor to enter into. It's not. It's not. It's something you choose. I step in. God said something to me several years ago. He said, living in my presence does not come by earning. It comes by turning. He said, no one has ever turned toward me and me not met them there in that turn. Meaning this. If you just turn away from that mental analytic mind, well, I need to read a certain amount of day, and I need to pray in tongues a certain amount of day and I need to confess a certain amount a day. Those are good components. But we don't earn him. He made himself ours. That was his idea. Amen. Well, with him is all that he has provided. So we just step into our wholeness. We just step into our peace and we say, it's mine. And I'm just going to count myself in right today, right now. I just step in. Not because I figured it out or not because I analyzed it. Not because I prayed in tongues long enough or read enough scripture. Because all of that is works based. Yes. I'm going to tell you, none of us are saved by works. But I will say this. After we're born again, works matter. We should bear the fruit of righteousness because we are made right. That fruit ought to show up. But it's not something that's hard to labor. And we step in and say, that's who I am. Amen. I am a spirit being and the spirit realm is suited to me. That's the realm that belongs to me. And that I don't just become skillful in this realm. I'm skillful in this. In his realm. Amen. Amen. And I'm becoming more skillful every day. And that's not something you figured out. It's not something you earned. It's not something that you impressed God with. It's just, wait a minute. That's what I'm suited for. That's what. That's the realm. That's our home realm. Yes.
- [29:55]
B
Yes.
- [29:56]
A
Yes. Amen.
- [29:57]
C
Amen.

A
Come boldly to the throne of grace if you've confessed your confession scriptures today. No. Come boldly to the throne of grace if you're prayed up, if you've attended church. No, none of that, none of that, none of that. But come boldly to the throne of grace. Why? That we may obtain the throne is the place of obtaining. And if we don't choose to say, that's my. I belong at the throne. We're children of the throne. And if we treat ourselves as differently, we're going to enjoy less than what the throne made ours. Well, I'm off. I'm off course here. Let's get back on course. But my husband, years ago, he did this for several years. Every church he went to, he would say this. He would say, how many of you in here ever saw an arm that was missing grow back on or a leg that was missing grow back on? And in all the thousands and thousands of People he asked that of through the years, there was only one who said that they had yet that was undocumented. Meaning this we're not sure, because a lot of people say they see a lot of things that this realm didn't see. You're welcome. So in that, he said, what's wrong with us? People need this. And he said, isn't that a shame that this generation hasn't seen it? And that should not be okay with us. That should not. We have. Listen, you have to contend for some places, but we belong in those places, and they're not heavy. But we have to contend for the faith to run the unbelief out. That keeps us out of enjoying this place that belongs to us. Dr. Sumrall said this. He said, the love of the world is the barricade keeping the church out of the supernatural. The love of the world is the barricade keeping the church out of the supernatural. Why would we be okay with the love of the world whenever the supernatural is available to us? That's right. Yeah, that's right. Because the love of the world will cheat you at every turn. Yes, it will. Yes, it will. But the flow of God's kingdom will satisfy you. Yes, at every moment of the day. Amen. So Edwin asked that. And I was in a meeting. I had finished a meeting years ago, and I had gone to sleep that night after finishing a couple days of meetings. I was getting ready to fly home the next morning. But this night, that was my last night there at that location. I had a dream. And in the dream, I walked into a big empty warehouse, just like if you would have seen maybe the size of a Walmart or something like that. It was that scale, but it would have been completely empty. And so I walked in the back corner door, and when I did the. There was a man standing there that looked to be maybe in his 70s. And I did not recognize this man. He was not familiar to me. And he was a man that he was waiting there. But I knew that when I stepped in and saw him there, I knew he was a saint that walked with God. And I'm not talking about years ago. I'm just talking about he was a man of God that walked with God. And I knew that, yet I didn't know him. And so I stepped in the back door, and I looked into the room. And in the room, there was one single chair, just like the chair you're sitting in, one single chair sitting in the middle of that warehouse. And this man, I walked in, and he walked in step with me, and we walked. We walked from the backside of the chair. We weren't facing the chair. We were coming up on the backside of the chair. We walked up and it took us a distance to arrive there. And I didn't know what we were going to see. I didn't know what we were going to do. But there was a man sitting in that chair. And as we walked around the front of the chair, I go, oh, this man had no legs. They were cut off. I don't know if it was from an accident. I don't know if it was from birth, if he was born this way. But he had little nubs right where below the knee. So he had a knee, but right below the knee. That joint worked, but right below it, there were no legs. And I just stood there and looked at it because I could not tell that man was in that condition till we got right in front of him. And this older gentleman that was with me, he walked around, he knelt down. He crouched down a little bit. Not knelt down, but he crouched down a little bit. He took those nubs in his hands, and he held the legs out straight in front of him because the man could bend right at the knee. He took those nubs and he made them straight in front of him. And he prayed maybe, maybe five to 10 seconds. And I did not hear the prayer because the prayer is not what God was wanting me to hear. That was not the purpose of what he was showing me. But I just know it was not a long prayer. He just said something. But what I did see, and this is what got. One of the things God wanted me to see was this. When he let go of the man's legs, he did not just let it fall. He took those stumps and he acted like, boom, I'm placing them in shoes. He set them down with a landing place with an intent that there be something there when he let go of it. And the moment he did that, I watched legs grow. It was the most. The only word I can say, Graceful. It was the most graceful action. It was not distorted looking. It was not repelling in any way. I mean, the kids were today where Bubby and all them, they were down in the lobby and they were watching kids do backflips and missing. And so they were sitting there watching videos of these kids landing on their neck, landing on the head, landing on their shoulder. And you just. You flinch like this just by watching a wrong landing. Oh, where's your mama? You know, and you would think, I don't have Like a strong stomach to see. You know, people like Ed loved watching TV where they do surgeries and stuff. He loved. I go, what's up with this? But he could. He had a stomach for it. I didn't. And I thought that to this grow out would be a little bit.
- [37:10]
C
Ugh.
- [37:12]
A
You know, Anybody ever remember the Hulk? Now, see, I only watched the Hulk in the 70s, a TV program. I never watched the movie stuff. Is there a movie thing that came out? No. A series maybe, I don't know. But the green Hulk, you know, in the 70s or something. And he'd be wearing a shirt and, you know, and the shirt busts off and then it looks like muscles rolling. It's like, that's nasty looking. That's exactly. It's contorting and ugh. Like the skin rolling. Oh, that's just nasty. Put your shirt back on. You know, you ain't all that. Plus you're green. It was repelling. It was repelling. There was no nothing but beauty and grace in this. It was the most impressive thing I've ever seen. It was. I don't. I don't. Words. And I watched it and it was so graceful. The leg grew and it just, in one smooth movement, took in the ankle. And then the feet formed, and it was just a thing of unspeakable beauty. And it paused for a moment right after the balls of the feet. There were no toes. And then it paused for like a second or two and then out came the toes. I go, oh, that man that ministered, that was not at all surprised. He expected it. And I saw the attitude and I saw the expectation of the man. God was showing me the miracle of it, the creativity of it. But he was also showing me the stance and the mentality of the man who worked with that. So I woke up from the dream immediately. That's all I saw. The dream was over. And when I woke up, God reminded me, he said, you, husband has asked many. Ed had not gone to heaven yet. He said, your husband has asked many. Who of this generation has seen that? And none of them. And my husband would say, it is not right that every generation should see it. Yeah, right. And God said to me, because no one that you've seen, now, there may be others in other countries, I don't know, of course, people that we've never been around, possibly. But I'm saying within the circle we've gotten to enjoy. God said, no one has ever done this that you have been associated with, has never seen this, been a part of this. And he said this. He said Jesus only said what he heard and only did what he saw. Remember that? He had to see it so he could go do it. And when did he see it? He saw it in times of fellowship with his Father. No doubt as he would get up. It said it was his habit to go to an alone place in the morning. He would spend time with God. No doubt he heard and saw for that day. And then he would go out among the people and minister what he heard, say what he heard, and do what he saw. And God said to me, there was no one to show you this. So I showed you this because you have to see it to do it. More of us could see it if we'll go to the place to see. Because his realm shows that. Why did he show it? Because he wants to manifest it. You understand that? He wants us. That's the place. These flows belong to us. But if we're not even dealing with and receiving the daily flow. Flow of divine life. And we're okay with that. I'm talking about not reaching as a body anyway. Praise the Lord. Psalm 139. Will you go with me to Psalm 139, verse 13? Are you still with me? Psalm 139, verse 13. I'm going to read this out of the Amplified Cloud Classic translation. So if they put that up, I'm going to flip back and forth between a few translations in this passage. But Psalm 139, 13, the amplified classic translation. It's recorded for talking about God. For you did form my inward parts. You did knit me together in my mother's womb. Let me ask you this. When God formed. Formed your inward parts and knit you together, do you think he formed inaccuracies in there? Deformities in there? No. Verse 14. I will confess and praise you, for you are fearful and wonderful. And for the awful wonder of my birth. Listen. Never devalue what was wonderfully worked by God. And that's you. Yes, yes, yes. Wonderful are your works. And that my inner self knows right well, my frame was not hidden from you when I was being formed in secret and intricately and curiously wrought, as if embroidered with various colors in the depths of the earth, a region of darkness and mystery. What's he talking about? Inside the womb, your eyes saw. Look. He saw. Your eyes saw my unformed substance. So before you were even formed, he saw you formed. And because he saw you formed. The next phrase happens so in your book. All the days of my life were written before ever the day my Days took shape when as yet, there was none of them. God saw your days yet unlived, but he saw them. And if we'll spend time with him, he'll show us what he saw about the days we haven't lived yet. Amen. Amen.
- [43:53]
C
Amen.

A
Why? Because God works from the ending. When I plan my day, I don't just start from first. I start with the service at night and I write that down. Then I write what has to happen before that service. I go backwards because I'm starting with the most important part of that day. Somebody was asking a man who was writing a movie script said, my goodness, how do you ever. There's so many characters and so many parts the of. How do you ever write it? He said, oh, it's very easy. He said, I always start with the ending. How do you want it to end? And then you know what has to happen throughout the prior parts to reach that end. God knows the end from the beginning from. He's working your beginning because he's already seen and worked your end. He works it backwards.
- [44:57]
B
Why?
- [44:57]
A
Because then he knows he always arrives at the right place when he starts there. Well, you're welcome. In your book. All the days. Listen to that. All the days of my life. How dare us devalue any day. Oh, come on, come on. That were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them. How precious and weighty are your thoughts to me, O God. How vast is the sum of them. If I could count them, they would be more in number than the sand. God thinking of you. More thoughts than the number of the sand. The mind can't even fathom that. And he says, when I awoke, could I count to the end, I would still be with you. The living Bible translation of verse 17. Same chapter, verse 17. If you can flip over to the living Bible verses 17 and 18. This is how the living Bible reads. How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly. I can't even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me. What's that mean? We can't even number it. It's innumerable. And when I waken in the morning, you're still there thinking of me. And he's not thinking of you sick. He's not thinking of you broke. He's not thinking of you in crisis. Because he didn't write crisis days in his book for us before we even started living them. The Amplified Classic of Ephesians, chapter 2, verse 10 says this, that living the good Life which He planned and prearranged and made ready for us to live. How are we going to live it? Taking paths which he prepared ahead of time. Notice this. He only formed one plan for your life. It's called the good plan. The good life. The good life. If it's not good, why are we putting up with it? If it's not good, and if God didn't author it, why are we allowing it to live with us? And if it is, it's our fault. It's not the devil's fault because we have authority over him. What is it we need to stir ourselves up to? Quit being okay with being harassed in the mind. Being grunting when we get out of bed in the mornings. I'm talking about.
- [47:28]
C
Mmm.
- [47:31]
A
It's not right. No, I'm not saying you don't have a body to deal with. I'm saying God offers us so much more. And how dare us let an Old Testament Moses be able to climb a mountain the day of his departure, and we're just grunting getting out of the bed. Seriously now? Verse 16 of the King James. King James translation of verse 16. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect. What's that mean? Even before it was formed. He's not saying your substance is unperfect. He's saying you were not even perfected in the womb yet. And he saw thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect. And in thy book all my members were written. He did not count you with a missing leg, a missing organ, a missing arm, a missing finger. All your members. All of them. So he intends for you to start with all of them. And he intends for you to finish with all of them. He did not put them there so you could lose them. But he knows us, that we mishandle, so he made spare parts, not so we could come to heaven with missing things, but so we could receive anything that we broke and get replacement parts. Amen. So God saw us complete, and we need to demand that our members be complete. Well, it's just not necessary. Well, faith can have it. With faith. All things. The problem with many in the church are they agree, yes, all things are possible, but then they follow with this in their thinking. But all things are not probable. Probably won't. I know it's possible, but probably won't. Not only are they possible, they're probable and they're certain. If that's what we demand of our faith. Praise the Lord. I was with Brother Copeland when he was one day praying. I had asked him to pray for someone that is missing hands and part of their arms. And I loved that I got to hear this prayer because brother Copeland said, father, you said that every one of your people are commanded to lay hands on the sick. This young man is commanded to lay hands and he doesn't have hands to fulfill that scripture. He must have hands.
- [50:41]
C
Ah.
- [50:44]
A
That'S right. Thinking it wasn't so that his life can be better, but so he can fulfill what you command. He must have hands. Yeah. That brought you up into divine thinking right then, right? Hallelujah. Matthew 15 the Living Bible Translation I'm going to go. Matthew 15:29. Matthew 15:29 Are you still with me? Why am I preaching this? If we don't preach it, we won't have faith for it. Well, it's not necessary. It's necessary for somebody. Matthew 15:29 the Living Bible Translation Now, Jesus now returned to the sea of Galilee and climbed a hill and sat there. And a vast brought him their lame. Where are they sitting? Where are they sitting? We just read it on a hill. They hauled the lame up a hill. Why? How bad do you want it? You want it? God is not really interested in convenience. But I love something, somebody. And I'm not preaching anything. I just love the statement. I love the statement. I'm not saying you shouldn't do this because we have a worship school and it's online that suits that setup for now, but we also have in person training in connection with that. But it's also available online. So online is great for certain things, but not for everything. And somebody asked dad Hagin and I heard this firsthand because Craig Hagin was sitting at our table a couple weeks ago and he said, not to me, but I overheard because I'm nosy. You're at my table, fair game. And somebody asked him, did dad Hagin ever consider doing rhema online? And he said, brother Hagin said, if they don't have faith to come, they won't have faith to go. Check that one. Because it's not about did you come? It's about your faith. What you got faith to do, it weeds out. It weeds out. God was not trying to withhold miracles from people who were lame. Look at this. Who else came up that mountain, that hill brought him there lame, blind and maimed. They had some kind of tragedy accident that destroyed. They weren't born this way. They were maimed through an event in life equipment. I grew up in Olustee, Oklahoma. It may be. I don't know if it's in this part of the country. There were so many men walking around our town with missing digits, missing arms, missing legs, missing fingers because they're dealing with farm equipment. There's a cotton gin right down the road, half a block from our house. And there were a lot of things that happened at that cotton gin. And so you get around. And these were farming agricultural people. And so there would have been lots of accidents that could have happened that left them in deformities. What is it? Is God trying to put Jesus on a hill to weed out the people who won't? No, you know what it is? Every step is building expectation. He's on that hill. And when I get there, they're going against opposition and they're building expectation of what's going to happen when they get there. I want you to know expectation matters. And it says he brought them, their lame blind, maned, and those who couldn't stand speak, and many others, and laid them before Jesus. Look at this. And he healed them all. That congregation saw arms, legs, ears, eyes. People that were lepers that had been missing things. And they watched that stuff grow back. He healed them all. My, my, my. And then it says he healed them all. And then in verse 31, what a spectacle it was. Ah, you talk about showtime. You don't have to pay for this monthly. It's not a subscription that runs out. What a spectacle it was. Those who hadn't been able to say a word before talking excitedly. And those with missing arms and legs had new ones. The crippled were walking and jumping around, and those who had been blind were gazing about them. And the crowds just marveled and praised the God of Israel. How about posting that on your confession?
- [56:21]
C
Listen.
- [56:25]
A
And none of us really have seen too much of this. And they saw all this in one day. One meeting. One meeting. Do you see what we're okay with? What is it? We gotta stir ourselves up. We've got to demand not of God, but of our faith. So good. My paper's crumpled. I'm just. Matthew 11:4 the Living Bible Translation Matthew 11:4 Matthew 11:4 Jesus told them, go back to John and tell him about the miracles. If we were to say that today, go to John and tell him the miracles. It's like, no need to go to John. We got nothing to tell. I'm talking. It's the truth. And Jesus said, go back to John and tell him about the miracles you have seen me do. The blind people I've healed. The lame people now walking without help. And the cured lepers and the deaf who hear and. And the dead raised to life. And tell him about my preaching. The good news to the poor. We're not leaving the broke out of this. Amen. They took my clock down. Where'd my clock go? I don't know. Is there anyway? I'll look at my clock. Okay. So what's this mean? That our report should sound different. It should be sprinkled and loaded with, oh, I see you got your leg back. And so what? To have body parts put back, we gotta preach body parts put back. You gotta preach it because you only have what you preach. You only have what you preach. You only have what you preach because faith comes by hearing. You have to hear it preached. So pastors start preaching body parts back. Preach. Every maimed person that comes in my building walks out with body parts back. And the devil will tell you, well, you mishandled your body. Well, he's mishandled his eternity. So there you go. You got no right talking to me about mishandling of anything because I've got a savior and you don't. The devil will always tell you why you're dismissed from this whole thing. But God won't tell you because he's already included you. Amen. Listen, Jesus is the master of creation. Could he not create a leg, an arm, a kidney? But why is it. Because we know it's possible, but we don't call it improbable. Yes. Amen. There was this one gal that. She was a young mama and she had been raised in a denominational church. And she went for the first time. She had never heard about healing. And she went to the church that was pastored by John Osteen, and he believed in miracles and he preached it. And she had a child that was a cripple from birth. And this child was probably about 2 or 3 years old when she started attending Brother John Osteen's church. And she heard that God was a miracle worker. And so she started putting her faith that her baby was going to receive the miracle. This child had never walked. This child lived in a wheelchair through the day. And so she decided what she was going to do is she took that baby out of that wheelchair for an hour a day. She made an appointment an hour every day. She put that baby on its tummy and she just pulled it. And he just thought, we're having floor playtime. And she just pulled him around on his tummy. And she would say, father, thank you for his legs. Thank you. Thank you for his legs. What's she doing Calling those things which be not as though they were. Thank you, Father. Thank you that he walks. Thank you for his legs. Because you can understand without having ever walked, you can imagine how emaciated. I don't know if there was deformity to them at all. I just know that they would not have been able to support him. And she just did that every day for an hour and thanked God and worshiped God every day. And she did it for 100 days, and she did it for 200 days, and she did it for 300 days. And you know, the devil would have said, this isn't working. And she just kept going for 320 days and 340 days and 350 days. And around about a year, she went to pick him up to pull him out of the chair. And when she did, he jumped out. He jumped out. What if she would have just thought, this isn't working? She had to outlast doubt, outlast, unbelief, atlast the reasonings of her mind. Because if she quits, what she left with a crippled child, so what's the harm of continuing? Because we know the harm of not continuing. But this is where we miss it. We think if in a fraction of a moment it doesn't show up, God failed us. People quit too soon. I said, people quit too soon. I've quit too soon on things. You have quit too soon on things. But if we quit too soon, we can pick them back up. We can pick them back up and say, I'm not quitting on that. Because unbelief turns us into, if not, not ever, starting, at least it turns us into quitting what we did start. Amen. Pastor Oyedepo, who pastors in Nigeria, largest church in the world, I believe he just. I don't know if the building is finished. He had a building that seated 50,000 people. He filled it five times every Sunday. So then they started building 100,000 seat auditorium. I don't know if that's completed or not, but Pastor Oyedepo made this statement, this declaration, no doubt by the unction of the Spirit, he made this statement at the first of the year. He said, there will be no miscarriages in this congregation. You're talking to about a quarter of a million members. And he said, there will not be one miscarriage in this congregation this year. How can he dare say that? He, as the pastor, he is equipped to have oversight of the sheep. And he was taking oversight of the sheep through that statement. There is so much power in the Pastoral office pastors that you don't really know about and don't utilize, but as a pastor, you have a right to declare over those that you have oversight of. And he got up and he declared, there will be no miscarriages this year in this congregation. And he said, and no children, no babies will die. They will live. Well, there was this one mama that heard that, and sometime during that year, I don't know how long during that year, but she had an infant. I believe it was less than a year old, but something happened and the child died. But she wouldn't believe it because her pastor had declared and she believed her pastor. See, it does matter, the honor level you have for your pastor, because in your honor, the words. So it does matter, the degree of honor you hold for your pastor, because the honor you hold for the words will be no greater than the honor you hold for the man. And so she took this child to the hospital because she was looking for them to say, no, there's still a heartbeat or there's still a pulse because she thought it was dead. But she goes to the hospital and. And they said, this child is dead. And she said, thank you very much. She picked up the child and she goes to another hospital because she's looking for a different report. And she goes to the second hospital. They said, this child is dead. So she takes. Thank you very much for your help. She picks up the child, she goes to hospital number three. Why? Because her pastor said, no babies die. So she goes to hospital number four. And they said, this child's dead. She said, thank you very much for your input, your opinion. And she goes to the fifth one. And they said, this child is dead. And there's no more hospitals in her region. So she takes the child home, she gets in bed, it's about 2 to 3 o' clock in the morning. By the time she arrives back home, she lays the child next to her, the dead child next to her in the bed, said, God, my pastor said, no, babies die. And that's in line with your word. And I thank you for my baby that's alive. And she went to sleep. How many could go to sleep with their dead baby? Faith can do. And she woke up the next morning because the baby woke her up. She just didn't quit. The devil can play with the circumstances of your life to dupe you into laying down the word. And I've seen him do it time and time again in my life where he would cause lying symptoms or lying circumstances. When Ed went home to be with The Lord, are you still with me? I'm going. Okay. When Ed went home to be with the Lord, there were eight large, unfinished projects. Two of them were buildings half done that we had to complete. We needed millions of dollars to do these things. And he had been trying for five years to get them completed. And so at one, I did not even know all the levels and the. The projects going on. So we. The day he died, I told the staff, tell me any tidbits, you know, about what's going on, and we'll just try to gather up so that nothing is overlooked or nothing is dropped. And. So where's Francine? Francine? So he dies in October, about February. Francine calls me and she said, pastor Nancy, I remembered he had something in the works. I said, what is it? She said, July 1, he had a loan that is coming due. And she said, it's a loan for $500,000 that's due the first of July. I said, ministry or personal? She said, personal. Thank you, Francine, for remembering that. It's February. It's due July 1st. Just get in line with all the other dues. Just get in line. So I immediately I turned inward. I didn't go this way. I went this way. And I said, holy Ghost, what do you say? Do I go get another loan? This was a loan. We wanted to get off the books. There's a lot of. There were other details around it, and we want to get off the books. I would have rather gone to another bank and gotten a loan to alleviate this one. And I said, God, what do I do? I said, do I go get a loan? Do I do something? Do I. Cause what do I do? And the spirit of God said, don't do anything. The flesh wants to do something. The mind wants to do something so that you feel like you're in control. My dad at that point was calling me every day and say, baby, do you need money? He had six and a half million dollars, you know, But I didn't say it. I'm not telling him. He said, do you need money? I said, no, Daddy, I don't need money. Why? Because if I tell Daddy I need money, then my testimony to my family is done because Daddy paid it. Of course, Daddy couldn't pay what was due, but I would not let that happen. Because if I practice leaning on people, it's easier next time to lean on people. And I will not. Because we weren't going to get through this by leaning on people. People did not have what we needed. And I can't Practice leaning on the wrong thing so you don't ever start. And so I said, no, Daddy, I don't need anything. And every day he called me, you need money, baby? No, Daddy. Thank you so much, no. And I told my three, my other three sisters, you better be thankful. He offered me your inheritance every day. And I didn't take it. I could have taken and just rejoiced because he offered it in cash. And so here it is. It's February. Francine says, this Money is due July 1st. I could only think of one avenue possible, possibly that it could have come through. But I told God the day my husband died, I will not put my faith on an avenue. My faith is on you. Because avenues can open and close. They can change, they can turn. And how do you know if your faith is on an avenue instead of on God? Well, what happens when the avenue changes? How do you respond? That shows us what our faith is on. And so I said to God, I will not put my faith on an avenue. And so I wouldn't let my mind really rehearse a planned avenue, because I did not want what you think about your faith will go there. So you cannot entertain certain things. And so I thought, there's possibly this one avenue. But nothing had panned out as planned in any area. And don't think I got rich off my husband's death. Because seriously, people think that I got $37,000 out of the life insurance. There you go, baby. You're welcome. I'm just trying to say it. People say, yeah, but he died, and you probably got a lot. No, I did not. But I got from him. I know how to look at nothing and keep going. That's the greatest thing we got from him. One of the greatest things. And so anyway, so that avenue, it was June 1st, the first week of June. And I guarantee you, I'd go to sleep at night. And the devil said, what you going to do about that money? I'm going to do nothing. That's what God said. I'm not going to do anything about that money. See, he'd rather me do something in fear than do nothing in faith. I'm not telling you to do nothing. I heard that's what God said. And so anyway, so the first week of June, I got a phone call from my lawyer and said, nancy, we know that this possible payout could have happened. And he said, I'm just telling you, they're not going to pay out. Well, that was the only avenue I knew that was a possibility. And I said, no problem. Thank you for the information. And I did not touch it in my thought life. So now I'm four weeks away. If this thing falters, it's a domino effect. And there were a lot of other things connected to that. So I just said, father, I thank you that you're not limited to avenues. You know of avenues I don't even know exist. And so I wouldn't touch it. And a week later that lawyer called me back and said, nancy, when I got off the phone with you, I decided that company was not going to do you that way. And all week long I've been dealing with him. And tomorrow you're getting a check for half a million dollars. Now what was that for a week? I heard. The last report I heard was that avenue is closed. I would not touch it in my thought life. I would not get into fear. I would not worry about it. What was it? The devil can play with avenues to see if he can get you in fear to keep that avenue closed to you. But if he can't get you in worry and in fear and in doubt, any avenue God wants to use will be open to you. What am I saying? The devil circumstances to try to get you to be duped off your faith. Think about it. Joseph is sold by his brothers into slavery, right? They've got to tell their daddy something. So they take his coat and they kill an animal. And they sop up the blood with the coat and say, wild beast killed your son. They said, is this his coat? Jacob says, this is his coat. They said, a wild beast killed the son. Killed your son. And you know what Jacob said? A wild beast killed my son. He agreed with the wrong with a lying circumstance. And it's a good thing Joseph had his own faith by then because Jacob's faith was gone off of him. Now why? Because he thinks he's dead. The devil doesn't want faith on this young man's life because destiny is on this young man. And he removes from him anybody that would have faith around him. Jacob's fault, Jacob's problem was this. He had a covenant for him and his children, him and his seed. And he thought God failed on that covenant and he called his son dead because lying circumstances. The devil can play with circumstances. But don't. Don't you let it change your faith. And if you will not change your faith, circumstances must come back into line because you have authority. And not only that, you have a covenant. And in your covenant is wholeness. Jesus walked up to the man at the pool of Bethesda. And notice what he said. Wilt thou be made whole? Will you? He didn't say, do you want to be made whole? He said, will you? And the man did not give him the right answer, but the mercy of God reached him. And how do we know that the mercy of God hit the right target? Because Jesus, later that day in the temple, he went right to church. When he was raised up, he found there was a gratitude in him for what had been worked for him. And God was able to work with that gratitude because God knew it was there when it wasn't visible. So what am I saying to you? It's not, do you want it? Will you? You have to say, I will. I will. If anybody gets a miracle, I'm getting a miracle. If anybody gets a body part, I'm getting a body part. If anybody receives healing, if anybody receives an answer to their need, I'm getting mine. I will. I will. It's a choice of my will. I'm not waiting on God to say yes. He's waiting on me to say yes and to say yes every day until it manifests. How long do we have to say yes? Until it manifests. How long do we have to call those things that be not as though they were? Until it manifests. How long is that until it manifests? And can I tell you this? You can speed up the manifestation or slow it down. How do you speed up the manifestation? Get the word in you in a great abundance. Get it in your mouth. Because Jesus said, he shall have whatsoever he saith. So we can say this. The more we say it, the more we have it. The less we say it, the less we have it. Well, praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Know this. Jesus spoke these words. He said, the words that I say are not my own, but they are from my Father, who lives in me. And he does the works. He does the works. Notice this. Jesus did the speaking, and God did the works. Jesus spoke the words, and God performed the words. So how do we determine how much works we get? How much we speak? What's this mean? Our words are our tools. I said, our words are our tools. God's works are governed by. By our words. What you know. Can I tell you this? God goes where faith puts him. It's up to us to put him into situations because he will go where faith puts him. Amen. God goes where faith puts him. And if they're small words, he does small works. And if they're large words, he does large works. So the body of Christ needs to start speaking larger. Start speaking larger and God will perform larger. Amen. I love something that. Smith Wigglesworth made this statement. He said. He said this by the Spirit. He started prophesying and he said that. He said, you are to ask God extravagantly. Why does that ask large? What does it say in the Book of Psalms? Open thy mouth wide open, and I will fill it. Not just fill your mouth, but I will fill your words with performance. We can ask small. We can ask limited. We can ask just a little bit, or we can ask large. And don't get upset when others get large. If we're speaking small, just look at somebody who got more than us and say, if God will do it for them, he'll do it for me and some. Instead of saying, why did they get it and not me? Amen. And Jesus spoke large. The Father in me, he does the works. That's large talking. That put God. A demand on God to perform what he said. Praise the Lord. Are you helped tonight? We're stirring ourselves up. We're not. We're not putting up with the level we've been okay with in our own life. But as the body of Christ, it's not right that Moses and the Hebrews enjoyed more than us. Our whole congregation can be whole. Why, his congregation was whole. And those who came to be congregants under Jesus, he healed them and made them whole. And that's the dinner bell for the last day revival. And whether or not we receive our healing and stir ourselves up for these things determines the Father's harvest. It matters. It matters. Well, stand with me if you would, to your feet.

And it's not just what you say tonight in church. It's a lifestyle. It's the way we live. We say, we say, we say, we say, we say, we say, we say. Why? Because words are our tools. Amen. And God performs what we say. And if we really believed that God performed what we say, how much larger would we be saying? Seriously? Right. We need to check up on ourselves. Check up on ourselves. Hallelujah. Well. Well, God has given us an endowment that we minister to those with metal rods, plates, or screws. I want to start there tonight. If you have metal rods, plates, or screws, and especially if they're causing you pain, limited mobility, I want you to know wholeness belongs to you now. God is so creative in how he works something. I remember there was a. A service my husband was doing years ago, and a man came up who had. They had inserted partially up his spine, a metal rod. And so, of course, that rod, he could only bend a certain amount. There was no mobility in that area of his back. And so there was no way he could touch the floor at all. And so my husband laid hands on him, and immediately that man just Reached over and touched him toes completely. So the man thought, God has given me a new spine, new vertebrae in that he's replaced the rod with new body parts. And so Ed was there for a week holding the meetings. And the man was glad that Ed was there longer because he said, that gives me time to go to the doctor. So he went to the doctor. He had an X ray done. The doctor came back in after the X ray and said to this man, he said, who put hinges in. In this rod? Well, that's a miracle. That's a miracle because it was the doctor that he was seeing who had inserted that rod. And he thought he had gone somewhere to another place, another doctor who had inserted hinges. So what happened? The miracle of the rod performing like a spine. Now that's a miracle. An ongoing, continuous miracle. And let me say that I have help you keep walking close to God. Because if you decide to walk away from God, that hinge may need a little WD40. But if you've got metal rods, plates or screws, come up here, we'll minister to you. Because we have an endowment to minister in that area especially. Hallelujah. How many of you say this belongs to us, this wholeness? Hallelujah. Notice Jesus walked up to the man. Jesus walked up to the man at the pull of Bethesda. And he said, wilt thou be made whole? He didn't just say, do you want to feel better? He offered him wholeness. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Congregation, does it matter to us that they receive? Come on. Does it matter to us that they receive? The word says, pray one for another that you may be healed. What's he letting you know? That when you sow into someone else's healing, that there is still the principle of seed, time and harvest that even works in the healing arena. That if you will sow into someone else's, you sow your faith, you sow your interest, that that boomerang's back and manifests as healing in your own body. Amen. How do we know this? We'll look at Job. What happened when he prayed for his friends, that his interest in someone else's welfare boomeranged back and caused double in his own life. Amen. So it does matter to us that we're interested. Well, I don't know them. It doesn't matter that you know them. You know that they belong to Jesus and that we all belong to the same Father and all of the same family. And it matters to us that everyone receive what God's provided Amen. Hallelujah. What about you, sir? Where's the. I broke my neck seven years ago, had two metal rods. You broke your neck seven years ago? Two metal rods. Does it cause you limited mobility or pain?

Yeah. Yeah. Father, we thank you. We thank you for wholeness. We thank you for it, Father. Hallelujah. Now, the reason I wanted you to stay up here is that we give action to that anointing. Why is that? Because the moment faith is released, power always meets faith. Always. And power always begins working. And sometimes that working can be very accelerated. Sometimes. You may notice over the. The next several hours Next several days. We really aren't occupied with how long it takes, but we know this power's working right now. Power was ministered to you. So do something. Put a demand on that anointing. Do something. That might have been a difficulty. Why are we doing that? So the devil doesn't. Because he comes immediately to steal it. But if we employ it, if we use it, then we're telling him, you're not stealing that flow out of my body. Hallelujah. So do something. That might have been a difficulty, that might have been limited. Why we're not checking. Did it work? We're giving action to that anointing. Hallelujah. What about you, love? What about you? You're on your knees. Could you have done this? She's had a bullet in her knee for 20 years. She said extreme pain. Extreme pain. You haven't been able to be on your knees. Come up here on the platform. Come up here. Come up here.

Could you feel it from outside at all? I feel it shifting. Shifting and moving things. Moving. Any kind of pain with it? Yeah, it shoots through my leg. Everyday pain with that? Yeah. Limited mobility with it? Yeah. I haven't been able to ride a bike. Haven't been able to get on my knees. Can you do it now? Let's see it. Could you have done that before? You couldn't have done that before tonight. You would have had to do that with your knee. Do it again. Let's see it. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah.

- [100:05]
C
And I can do it now.
- [100:08]
A
Can we see you do it? You couldn't have done that before because of pain? The rod would the rod limit you from getting that far? So now you can bend in further than the rod would have permitted you to do.
- [100:28]
C
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
- [100:37]
A
Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Anybody else? Tell me, who else? Who else is it working in?

A
Working in you. What about you? Come here, Morgan, with that microphone. Come here. You couldn't touch your toes. That's my toes. You couldn't touch your toes when you came up tonight? Correct. Can you do it now? It would be. My back would be so stiff. It would. I. I could just feel it pulling. Like it's pulling on the metal rods. Yeah, yeah. So you have metal rods. Rods in your lower back? Lower back. One, L4 and L5. I got three rods. Three rods, six screws. I had two discs taken out when I was 17 years old. Two discs were taken out from a car wreck. From a car wreck?
- [101:21]
C
Yep.
- [101:21]
A
What about. What other. What other motion would have. Would have been limiting. This would be a little bit hard. Yeah, this would be hard. Okay. That is so much loose. I'm just loose.
- [101:33]
C
I just loose and you lose it. Just loose.
- [101:38]
A
It's just loose. Now, those others that I minister to, you know what that means? See how it works? It's working. Obviously, that's the same power working in you now. It's doing the same thing for you now because God's no respecter of persons. Everybody. Everybody. That anointing went in. That anointing destroys the yoke. How did.
- [102:01]
C
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
- [102:03]
A
Praise the Lord. Anybody else? Come here. Come here, Morgan.
- [102:08]
C
Right here.

A
I couldn't kneel either, and I hated that. Because you wanted to kneel and pray. So you can kneel.
- [102:17]
C
Why?
- [102:18]
A
Is it because she's from my church? Oh, she's from your church. So you had a knee replacement or you needed a knee replacement? I had knee replacement. You had the knee replacement, and because of the knee replacement, you couldn't heal. And the other one, well, you got. You got a knee replacement. Right.
- [102:34]
C
And I knelt just now, too.
- [102:37]
A
Okay. Okay. So you nailed which knee. The one that you had the knee replacement in or the one that needed it? Will not. So neither one of them would permitted you to kneel. It has cement in it. So neither knee would have permitted you to kneel. And you can kneel on both of them. Can we.
- [103:00]
C
Can.
- [103:01]
A
Can you do it for us now? Turn around. Don't walk off with the mic, Margie. Yeah. Okay. So. So no pain with that? No. No pain with that. You could not have done that before. And if I would, I have to crawl to get. You'd have to crawl to get up? Yeah. Well, no more crawling, sister.
- [103:32]
C
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
- [103:34]
A
Yes, love, Pastor Nancy.

C
I had.

A
Here, I'll take it. My husband has a lift chair and the remote quit working. And so I called the clothes company to get a new remote, and he said I had to get the numbers off of the back. Is that remote chair for you? It was. We have one for both of us. For both of us. But his remote went out. It quit working. Yeah. And so when it quit working, he was in a reclining position. Okay. So I had to get. Get him up. Yeah. And I had to get on the floor to get the numbers off the chair. Uh huh. And I had to cry to the bench to be able to lift myself up. Wow. Wow. And now you can get down and look at anything you want to look at.
- [104:22]
C
Amen.
- [104:23]
A
Hallelujah.
- [104:24]
C
I can get on my knees and praise the Lord. And I haven't been able to do.
- [104:28]
A
That since before this morning.
- [104:31]
C
Hallelujah.
- [104:32]
A
And I don't know if you heard her, but when before I laid hands on her, she said, tonight I'm getting my. And tonight she got hers. Because God goes where faith puts him. Yeah.
- [104:44]
C
Yeah.
- [104:44]
A
Yeah.
- [104:44]
C
Yeah.
- [104:45]
A
Hallelujah. Anybody else? Anybody else? What about you, love? I couldn't bend my toe. Because you couldn't bend your toe part where the bones weren't fusing. Yes. Now you can bend your toe. Hallelujah. And you had how many surgeries?
- [104:58]
C
Two.
- [104:59]
A
Two surgeries on your toes. Yeah. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Say again? I can lift my leg and I couldn't. You couldn't do that before, but now you can do it.
- [105:14]
C
Hallelujah.
- [105:15]
A
Praise the Lord. What about you, love? I want a miracle. Yeah. It's working in you, that anointing. And that's our privilege to say, it's working in me right now. It's working in you. It's working. It's working. Have you ever taken an aspirin? Have you ever swallowed an aspirin? Take an aspirin. The moment you swallow it, you don't say, well, that didn't work right. What happens, you give time for that to go throughout your whole system. That power's working throughout your whole system. Amen. And so we don't have to feel it. We don't have to feel any change. We believe that the moment. Listen, when I laid hands on you, that anointing went in you, and it's a power working in you right now. Amen. So all you need to do is say thank you. That it's working, every one of you. Thank you. That it's working. Thank you that it's working. And if you got up tomorrow morning and it tried to leave you, you go, oh, no. Oh, no. That power is working in me, and I'm whole right now. I'm whole right now. You're not whole because you're body says so. You're whole because the word says so.
- [106:24]
C
Hallelujah.
- [106:25]
A
Hallelujah. Yes, love.
- [106:26]
C
I'm believing that I can start taking a bath again and not just a shower out of the tub. Okay.
- [106:33]
A
You need. You need to enjoy yourself. That's right. Praise the Lord. Do what the devil said you couldn't do, right? Hallelujah. Let's just raise up our hands and thank God, the Lord. We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father.

- [107:42]
A
Well, I don't know about you, but I think Jesus. Isn't he so impressive? Hallelujah. Don't you think he deserves gratitude right now? Lift up your hands and lift up your voice. Jesus, you're such a wonderful healer. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We give you thanks and glory and honor. We thank you, Father. We thank you. We thank you. We thank you.

I want to start off with this. Christian history is being made tonight. Now, let me tell you why. Because all through history and the greatest awakenings and the greatest movements and revivals, there were holy dares she delivered through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Holy dares to us. And there were people who took those holy dares and changed a whole generation. And revolutions happened. TL Moody took a holy dare from a British revivalist, changed a whole generation. George WHITFIELD. Billy Graham and others and ears of faith heard these holy dares, and she gave those tonight to this group of people. And I believe it's going to change everything in the healing, miracles and legs growing out. You guys know Jesse, right? This group. You bunch. You know Jesse, right? Well, I was with him. And, you know, he. He had. He's got a. He had an encounter where he went to heaven. And he was telling us. We were talking about it in the back room, and he was crying, you know, every time he tells that story about him going to heaven. Well, the thing I want to talk to you about just right now is right before he came back, and the Lord knew he was going to come back, and he needed him to come back, he said something to him, and he said, my saddest moment has not yet come. God said this to Jesse. Jesse thought, what do you mean, God sad? And he thought, you know, surely was that Jesus, and we know by scripture that it pleased God because he knew the outcome of the covenant. He said, no, my saddest moment has not yet come, for it'll be the day of judgment. And on that day, there will be those who I sent my son, who I loved, whose name will not be in that book. And Jesse's somehow knew and seen that there were some that thought they were going to go and not. But. And, you know, all my life, I always thought to myself, you know, when I see Jesus that day, I'm going to chest bump him. It's just a sports thing. Judge me. I'm working on my vertical because I know he's got good vertical. But I always thought that. And then I want to see my dad chest bump my dad like I used to. But then all of a sudden, when he was telling me about this, and there will be people who. Who never knew him. And he said, this is what the Lord said to him on that day. He said, because I never knew them. That was the reason why their names were not written in that book. I never knew them. And all of a sudden, the chest bumping and all that went away. And I thought, what if there's people that were in this building that I preached to every Sunday or seen in a crusade, and they turn and look at me and say, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you help me? And so if every head bowed and every eye closed, if there's somebody in here and you don't know that your name's in that book, you don't know, but you want to know, because that Day is coming and you don't know, Pastor Chip. I don't know, but I want to. I want to know tonight. I don't want to leave here without knowing that I know that. I know. If that's you, raise your hand. Just raise your hand. Glory to God. If there's anybody in here. Praise the Lord. If there's anybody online, Glory to God. You got one somewhere. You said over here. Praise the Lord. Thank you, Father. Anybody want to join that person and make sure their name is in that book? You've been away from him. You want to get back with him. Glory to God. And online, you can do the same. Praise God. Who is it? We got one. Come on. Come on up here. How about that? How about that? How about that? Come on, somebody. Brother. Brother, Brother. Brother. Are you about to go from.

From the worst team to the best team? What's your name? Noah.
- [113:48]
A
Noah.
- [113:49]
B
Noah. Noah. Your name's getting ready to get written. Can you imagine that? N. That's going. No. Glory to God. Well, here's the thing. Here's what the Bible says. Do you believe that Jesus is the son of God? Do you believe that he died on the cross for you? Okay. And now you're going to do it before men and you're not ashamed of it. You came up here, you could have been ashamed of it, but you didn't. And Jesus said, come on now. And so, glory to God. They're about to have a party for Noah. So say this with me, and let's all say it together. Say, dear God, forgive me for all my sins and I forgive others. And I believe with all my heart that, Jesus, you died on the cross for me and that you're the son of God. And now I receive you as my Lord and savior for all to see. I'm a child of God. I'm born again. My name is written in the book of life.
