Hi, I'm Grant Dufresne and welcome to Dufresne Ministries podcast channel. We believe that as you listen to this message, your faith will be stirred and you will be encouraged in whatever you are believing God for today. Stay tuned at the end of this message to find out more information about our ministry. Praise God. I want you to go over to mark 11, if you would. I was in Dodge City, Kansas, the supposed to be the capital of where the cowboys all started. And I had a. I had a Sunday morning, Sunday night and a Monday night meeting there. I. I've been traveling actually in two and a half year, I believe it's two and a half, two and a half years. I'll be in the ministry for 50 years doing church work and ministering and traveling all over the world. Actually, I was sitting on a bar stool in 1965 on my way to hell drunk, and a voice came to me and said, you will go all over the world and preach the gospel. I had the bartender set everybody up with a beer and I told them, I'm going to be a priest because, see, I was raised Catholic. Well, when you're drunk, you don't know no difference, you know, they all drank my beer. But a week later I got saved and I've been doing church work ever since. Not just bragging, just a fact. Over 12 million miles just in, just in airlines. I didn't count my private airplanes that I've had through the years and have now. But the Lord said to go, but Sunday night of that meeting, I got caught up in the spirit, got up to preach and the anointing fell. And you know, people were under the anointing of God. And I sat down on the platform and the Lord started speaking to me. He said, 2012 is going to be the year where your heart desire and all the things that you've been believing for will come to pass. So I ask him because I have a voice, not just to our church. Actually, my wife is the pastor there. That's just part of our ministry. But she's the pastor because I'm out in the field. If I just went off the field and pastored, I'd probably be coming to my funeral because you get out of the will of God doing stuff like that. But I said, now is that to me personally, to my wife, or is it to everybody? Because when you're a voice, you want to speak, not just misunderstand. If he's saying it just for you or is it for the body of Christ? Hallelujah. So he said, no, it's to everybody. He said, it's to everybody. See, two years before that. Actually, two years, week before last, I was down in High Springs, Florida, preaching. And all of a sudden I noticed out of the side of my mind, somebody was standing there. And I looked around. When I did, it was Jesus. He said, now. He said, now it's time for that other office that dad Summerall prophesied over you right before he passed away. And he said, that is the office. He said, now it's time for your apostleship. Well, I've been going in and out of that. If, you know, I mean, if you're sent, then you're an apostle. If you're not sent, you're not. Well, I've been doing the work, you know, of course, the office of a prophet. When I left my first church, I went into. Mostly into the field, but I went under the anointing as a prophet. But he said, now it's time. It's time for you to walk in that apostleship. He said, stretch your hand. He walked around. I was standing right there by the pulpit, and my wife will tell you. And I put out my hands, and he put his hands right over mine. He still got those holes in his hands. And he said, now you. You're certified, if I could say that. He didn't say that, but I said, now you're certified. Said to myself, now you're certified to walk in that office. And now I could say it, you know, I'm not gonna go around saying something. I ain't. But yet I'm doing it. I'm working it. And I knew in that. So I got back to the house. This is two years ago. Was it two weeks ago, wasn't it, dad? But it was, yeah, two. Two years ago. Last week when we were in High Springs. We went back two weeks to the. To the week, and I went back home and God started dealing. He came in my bed. He didn't appear to me, but he started talking to me. You know, if you're going to walk. If you're going to walk in an office of the prophet, you almost become a loner. Because if you, you know, like me, I can't run around all afternoon, you know, and doing things and then get up and preach. Because the Bible says to wait on your ministry and to be accurate. Are you listening to me? Anyway, I was just waiting on my ministry. And he said, now. He said, now, told you from 60 to 70 that I was going to bless you personally. Pastor asked me in the Car coming over. He said, do you feel different at 70 than you did when you're 50? And I said, not really, except I realized your body's getting older. Do you feel any difference? But he said, the lord said, From 60 to 70, I'm going to bless you personally. He said, I'm going to make a millionaire out of you because you've been faithful. And he has, and he has in properties and everything. I mean, he has, he has done that. He said, now, see, every. See the pattern for God deals with me. You got to learn how, so you got to learn how did God speak to you? If you haven't been hearing from God, go back to the last thing where God spoke to you. See, you got to learn the patterns of God, how he talks to you in ministry, especially in the area of the ministry. And he said, he said, now from. He said, From 70 to 80, you will bear more spiritual fruit than you have had in all the years you've been in the ministry. Amen. And he said, now you've been, you've been praying. You want to slow down? He said, no, I can't afford for you to slow down. He said, I got a whole new generation. So you got to understand, if you just outlast everybody, you'll get a whole new generation that needs you. Amen. Did you know that most ministers that start out, the high percentage that, that start out after five years, they're not in the ministry no more. Something to think about. I'm still here. You're still here. Hallelujah. But he said, now, from 60, from 70 to 80, he said, you'll bear more fruit. And of course, all hell broke loose. If you're going to walk in offices, especially like Paul did, he was in and out of all those offices. But if you're going to want this, this is for the ministry and for you. You understand? If you're going to walk in the anointing like Paul did, and you preach, see, if you preach the Pauline revelation, you're going to have the same test and trial. That's what he told me. I said, God, all hell broke loose. I didn't, you know, why are these people acting that way? He said, study Paul. I was trying to find the life story of Paul. What kind of guy was he? What was he, you know, just to. And, you know, there's some people that have done, what do you call it, expositories on Paul or something like that. And there was a reason why that. Because God said the same things he went through. You go through he was shipwrecked. He got, you know, and I mean all kinds. He was beaten, left for dead. Well, I haven't had that. Praise God. See, if. If you're a baby and a whiner, you won't make it in the ministry. If you're pastoring and you get touchy about what people say about you, just always remember this. I learned it in the younger days. My joy is not in other people's head and what they think of me. My joy is obeying God. And there'll be enough people to bring out that you missed it. I mean, there'll be enough people around. Of course, they didn't look at themselves how many times they missed it. But the main thing is I'm still here and I have a solid ministry. Amen. I said, amen. Glory be to God. So, see, he said that. Now here we're at going back to Dodge City. And the Lord said. He said, now, 2012. Now, see, now, see, I'll be 71 this coming June. He said, now two years of buffetings and tacking my finances, tacking my integrity, tacking everything. What? So you got to know, every time. See, every 10 years, I go into a different place in the spirit. When you do, the devil will fight you every inch of the way. He'll do anything to get you off track. Well, it didn't work, Mr. Devil. It didn't work after that. See, now our Bible school went. Now we're building a new building for the Bible school. All kinds of things are happening. But get back to Dodge City. He said, this is the year. Tell my people, tell the pastors that are in your organization, Fresh Oil Fellowship. Tell them this. That whatever you're believing, but this is the year 2012. Of course, that was 11 when he said that. 12, that this is the year for all your heart, desire and everything that you've been believing for. Now listen. Then he said, now, here's the thing. He said, they have to say it. You have to say it will come to pass. See, right here, I got this band right here. This is for our thing. We kicked off at our church to raise money for the new buildings. It's the Coming to Pass campaign. This is to remind us every day to say everything that I'm believing for. So you got to say it. All right, we left. We had Thanksgiving. That was the week before Thanksgiving. Got a Thanksgiving. And then one Saturday night, I was preaching at our Saturday night service. We got a Saturday night, we got a Sunday morning, and we got a Tuesday night. And God's going to fill all those services up to get the word. But I was preaching, and when I did, I looked over and I got caught in the spirit and I saw this wave. I said, what is that? If you're in a meeting, I always say, what is that? I'm asking God, what are you showing me? I don't know everything. Do you? Amen. I don't. I just. What is that? Why are you showing me that wave? Now, remember what I said last night when I was talking about how the glory and we. And we've been having the glory come into all our services at different degrees? It's in here. Different degrees. And he said, as that glory increases, when it. As it increases, that's when. That's when all the gifts of the spirit, that's when all the gift ministries will operate at full potential power. He said that to me in 99 when I went to heaven. I've had people. How do you have all these experiences? I don't know. If I was God when I first started out in the ministry, I'd have said, no, not me. I. I just let me build churches and stuff like that. Work behind. Not me. Because. Because when God started dealing with ministry, I said, I don't like most people. Why don't want to get and talk in front of them. I was the deacon and got in a fist fight in front of my assembly of God church because a guy called me an SB and I cocked him. That's how carnal I was. What do you do now if they call you that? I just get Mitch, my pilot. I just get him to beat him. No, no, I'm just kidding. I'm into flesh now. So I was asked, I said, what is it? And in that wave, it was just coming up. Now, I was raised in Southern California and I wasn't really a surfer, but I was a fisherman. I loved to fish. And I'd go on in the summer. I go on all day barges, you know, go out, get on a boat and I go. I catch mackerel. And then I'd go back on the pier and sell it and then come ride my bike back next morning and pay to get on the barge and do that. But I was down there by the waves. And then when we went to the beach, if you notice the wave, sometime when it comes in, you could look into that wave and you could see seaweed. Sometimes you could see a shark. You can see fish, you could see trash, if it's in there. But in this vision, I started seeing money. I Started seeing buildings, I started seeing equipment. I started seeing all that. He said, everything that they need, he says specialty administrators, everything you need is in the wave. See, dad Summerall always spoke to us and told us every revival God funds. Now, what we're at right now, there's a fourth phase revival that God had since the 1900s. They had the Welsh Revival, but over here we had Smith Wigglesworth and dad Summerall. They prophesied about the four different one before Jesus came. It was the healing revival, it was the charismatic revival. Then what we call word of faith, preaching faith in the Word. But then the last revival is all the gifts of the Spirit will be a full manifestation and the ministry gifts at full potential. You haven't seen the pastor at full potential. He called them feeders. When I went to heaven, he said, those feeders, he said, shepherds are feeders, not entertainers, but feeders. And you'll see that at full potential power. And it will draw millions. Our churches won't be able to hold them. Those that will preach the Word and allow the Holy Ghost to flow. Hallelujah. I said, hallelujah. And he said. And he showed me where we're at in the wave as it comes up like that. Where, you know, if you had the wave, I had a drawing board, the wave. What I saw. He said, you're at this point right here and you're being picked up, those that are going with the wave. And then next year, 2013, we're going to be sat down and running, see? And the Lord said, at dad Hagin's funeral, he said this to me. He said, an era has come to an end and a new era has begun. Now, it doesn't mean we stop preaching the word of God, but that era of the teaching era came to an end. And we've been in a drought the last eight years. Pastors are going jumping ship and going to different. Well, we're going over here. This group, we're going over. Well, it looks over here, they're having a donkey show. We're going to go over there. We're going to go over here and go over there. Instead of staying fast and preaching the Word and allowing the Holy Ghost to flow. But now we're in it. Praise God. See, when the water's over your head, then you're being lifted up. The water's lifting you up. We're being lifted up and set in place. And he said, in fresh oil fellowship, ministers are involved in that for others. Don't misunderstand me. I'm Just telling you what he told me. Amen. This pastor here, he just got a new building this week. You guys just got a new building. Praise God. But he said, now you're going to have to teach on Mark 11. See, this here, our campaign, what we're doing, we're raising money for all the stuff that we need for our building. And this is a reminder every day. It's like putting a note on your refrigerator that it will come to pass. Everything that I'm believing for will come to pass. So you have to say it. We've been taught these last 30, some 40 years about faith, and yet I'm even around, and I don't want to hurt preachers or anything, but I've been around preachers and you could listen to them talk with a doubt and unbelief. Well, you know, we've been in a dip. Well, I remember John Osteen was one of the biggest dip that hit Houston, and he built that big old building right in the middle of a dip. What does a dip have to do with God's finances? The money didn't leave. Oh, the money left. We don't have no money. And no it's on this planet Earth. You know who has it, don't you? The devil has it. And you got power to take authority over your money. Devil, get your hands off of my money. It didn't leave. It didn't leave. That gas is $5 a gallon. See, we don't like it. But if you complain, you're complaining against your supply. If it went to $10 a gallon. Listen, we have to buy jet fuel. And I don't even want to look at the pump when we pull up to fill that jet up. And I mean it don't go ting, ting. It go, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. You know, eight bucks a gallon, you know, ding, ding, ding. And I just time that thing go ding, ding, ding. I say, I got a supply, I got a supply, I got a supply. God is not broke. Everybody say, well, I'm on a fixed income. Who fixed it? Is the circumstance, your job fixing it for you. When you do that, then your mouth fixed it, and that's as far as you go. Pretty good at 71, huh? Are you at Mark 11? Now listen, hallelujah. Now, if you'll listen to me and not say, well, I've. And get in there. I heard this before, see, you'll never learn when you say, I heard it. Because, listen, faith don't come by heard. Faith don't come by heard, it comes by what Hearing over and over. What you're learning tonight won't be no good tomorrow because you got to feed your faith every day. Every day, every day. You have to feed it every day. That's why your pastors get tapes, have tapes in your home, have tapes around, read the Word, spend time in the Word, listening to the Word. Faith has to be reborn every day. If you get new mercies, that means you got to renew your faith because you expended it. What you get tonight, you can expend it within 24 hours. So faith comes by hearing hallelujah. With this new revival that we're in, comes fresh revelation of the word. Fresh revelation coming. Hallelujah. Now, if you listen to. I'm going to help you get that stuff out of the way. I'm going to help you get it to you. All right, look at here. Look at Mark 11. Let's start with the 12th verse. And on the morrow, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. Everybody say, he had a need. He wanted a hamburger. He wanted something to eat. And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came. If happily, he might find anything thereon. And when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves. For the time of figs was not yet other words. When there's. I understand the fig tree. If it has leaves, it should have figs. And there was no figs on there. Now, listen to me. You'll learn something. And Jesus cried, Jesus did what? He answered and said unto it, Now I could stay right there all night just on answer. See, he's talking to that tree. And then he relays, now we can go down that further. And it talks about the God kind of faith. But I like to come here where. Because that's what he's referring to. Because Peter come running up to him, he said, that fig tree, you thou cursed. He said, have the God kind of faith. Or I like to say, this is the way God rolls for you hep cats. You know what you do. My kids are trying to keep me up to date. They came old school. Old school. I said, yeah, but I got the anointing. Amen. Amen. See, you got to learn how to answer things. Now, the Lord told me over a year ago, this last New Year, we were in Russia. And that's another miracle. What's happening over there? We're going back for two weeks. They're putting all our books in Russian. And it's going to. Anyway, just everything has exploded in our ministry. It's Just exciting to roll with God. Amen. See, Learning how to answer. And he said unto it, first we got to learn how to answer, and then know what you're answering will obey. So the tree must have had an ear to hear. And when you realize everything that you need on this planet Earth, it's not going to come out of heaven. It's already here, and it has an ear to hear. That's the way it was created in the book of Beginnings. And we might get into that tomorrow night. Because God said, now, when I was in a year ago, New Year's in Alaska, God said, now teach the people what you have learned from others and what I have taught you. Concerning moving things. Concerning moving things. Teach them how I taught you how to get your stuff. Teach young ministers how to get their stuff that they need. Teach the sheep how to get their needs met. He told me, 13, 14 years ago, I was in South America and I was praying about finance. He came in my room. That's where that book came out, how to be rich. God's way. Rich don't mean just being a millionaire, but having full supply. And he said, Number one, 97% of my people live beneath. And what I have provided, what Jesus provided for them at Calvary doesn't. The Bible said, let the redeemed say so. Other words, people see, if you don't say you're redeemed, you'll walk in the curse on this earth and going to heaven and being miserable. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. You got to talk about. You got to say that you're redeemed. I'm redeemed from sickness and disease. I'm about ready to explode inside. Praise God. Glory be to God. I'm redeemed from poverty. I'm redeemed from lack of. Why? Because my God, but my God shall supply all my needs. See, you don't qualify for the supply if you ain't got a need. I create needs every day. If you're in the ministry, you'll create needs every day. And I have a supply. So the redeemed soul say, so I have a supply to annihilate that need. Now, listen. See, we get excited about things, and that's good, but we need to listen to what's being said. For instance, a year and a half ago, my bookkeeper was dealing with the state of California, and we owed them money. We felt it was too much that they're doing it. So, you know, after they compromise everything, then. And then my secretary came. I came off of the road. And this is my personal, not the church's. And they said, state of California, your bookkeeper. And they all agreed it was $38,000. And I'm thinking, first, thought I could buy my wife a new car for that. Pretty decent car for 38,000, couldn't I? And then I got thinking about the state of California. They're broke, and they're going to give this money and just throw it down a rat tube. So you could think the devil will bring up all kinds of things that get you to answer that wrong. But I caught myself. I caught myself. And this is. And Francine was standing right there in the office. And I laid my hand, I said, give it to me. And I said, I have a supply. I think I changed your thing. I'm sorry. Let me tell you a little story. I was getting on to people because I thought they were texting while I was preaching. And my son's coming, dad, there's Bibles on those phones. Now, I turn your phones off, quit. And I turn one light anyway. Are you texting? No. Okay, I'm just checking. I haven't got one on my phone now. Praise God. And I put my hand on that and I said, I have a supply to annihilate you. And this is the truth. Within three days, I had the money. It came in to pay that bill. And then when the money coming in, I wanted to take it and spend it on something else. But I said, no, send it out before I get. Now, see, how do you answer? See, faith answers different than doubt and unbelief. Faith answers different than doubt and unbelief. What are we going to do? Gas is at five bucks. What are we going to do if we're on a fixed. Quit saying that. I'm not on a fixed income. This is the truth. I make three times more. And then what my fixed income is, and I. And I haven't got a raise in 15 years. I don't need it because I learned how to use my faith. I'm expecting here pretty soon where I won't even have to take a salary. I can just live off of my saying in my care packages. I'm doing it because I'm lightening up. Two years ago, he said, lighten up. We're selling different things. Why? For I can now my faith that I've developed these 50 years, I can put it on something else. What God wants to do in this revival. So what we're doing now, we're not compromising. See, I'm not backing up in luxury or the things, the nice things of God. But I'm cutting all the stuff where I had to believe God and putting it over on something like maybe a bigger airplane to go over missionary, take money and put it over into missions where I was believing that to take care of that, I'm putting it on other things. Amen. Can I take a little side trail here? I don't know why God asked me this. He hadn't spoke to me about it since. He said, what would you do if somebody gave you a winning. Gave you a winning lottery ticket and it was $250 million? He said, well, what would you do with it? I said, well, first of all, I'd pay my tithes. Now some people. Would you take that money? I sure would. Would you take that money? Huh? Do you know that ten dollar bill right there? A prostitute could have had it a week ago. It, it could been. How about dope money? See, it was dirty money because it was doing that. But once it comes into my hand, it's for the gospel. Now, I'm not going to go buy a lottery ticket. I didn't say that. But hey, just saying, I don't know. And then I'd pay tithes and then what else would you do? I said, well, I'd pay our building off because we're believing to pay it off. He said, then what would you do? I said, well, I got everything I need. I mean, me and my wife are well taken care of because we learned how to move things. Well, we do. I said, you know what I'd do, Lord? I'd start out to the fresh oil men and each one of them I'd go and pay all their buildings off. A good dad would do that. Well, how many is in your well got? Well, this year we're believing for 200. We've got over 150 now. I'd go the ones that have buildings, they'd go pay their buildings up. I'd do that. See, that's why the devil is going to fight to keep it away from me. Now, I don't know. He never talked to me about it since. So if you have a lottery ticket, it's a winner, give it to me. I've seen money ruin people and it wasn't the money, it was the love of money. Come in and work hard, pay their tithe and get a lot of money and forget about God and go buy a. How do I get off on that? But it's the truth. And forget their pastor, the one that Gave them the word that prospered, saved their marriage, saved their bodies. I still can't get that. Come and get delivered and get set free. And after two years, get offended at the pastor that gave you life. Your elevator doesn't go all the way up. You know what? I see a lot in churches today? No gratitude. And what God. I've helped preacher after preacher, paid their rent and everything else to help them and no gratitude. Get madios. I had one guy who didn't even leave a thank you note, paid for his house and everything for one year, didn't even leave. He did leave the rental house clean. I appreciate that, but. And don't even say things I don't get. I don't get that. It don't compute. When I was in the gang, we had more honor than that. In the 50s, I had 150 cars in my car club and we're nothing but a bunch of thugs. Shaboom, shaboom. Eddie, my love. And we had cholo wagons and we wasn't even cholos. We'd go in the A and W you know, with my Chevy, you know, boom. I mean, it was so low you had to come in sideways. We had to cut the springs. Now they got hydraulic thing. How'd I get off on that? See, but you got to answer. Answer the pump when you pull up there, say, I have a supply to annihilate you. Doesn't matter. I mean, I hear pastor and you know, you, you know, I want to be sweet, but I can't fellowship with some of them because they said, oh, it's been rough. In 2007 when, when that thing hit, our finances went to half. Huh? Isn't that right? It went to half to what it was before. And you know, all through that, we answered that every Sunday they would count that and we would answer it. Well, we have a supply and we never, never. We pay our mortgage two weeks in advance. Never was late because we answered it right? You got to answer. You can't sit around and talk about it. Amen. Thank you. Amen. I had one preacher. How's it affecting you? I said, what are you talking about? Talking about the Holy Ghost. Oh, no, the dip. He said, we've had it rough. I said, well, we haven't. It's been tight sometimes I'm talking about the church there, you know, doing it. But we're still there. We're still going. Amen. Everything is paid. Hey, I got a million dollar building and it's half done and it's all paid. For it's all coming to pass. You want to know why? Because one, we plant seeds. We do. Now listen. He answered and said, under that tree, it matters how you answer. When God said, the building we're building right now, a couple years ago, he said, where you got your playground? I want you to build a building. Said, we're going to build a bigger building. He said, no, I don't want you to do that right now. I want you to build a smaller building, two story. And we need it for offices. We need it for our Bible school and everything. We need another smaller auditorium where the Bible school students come in. I said, okay, where you want. He said, build it right next to where your. Where your kids play playground. So every time I would pull up, my spot was right in front of that playground. That spot, my other spot, I used to drive, used to be in one spot, but it had handicap. And one day after parking there for two or three years, the Lord said, oh, you're a handicap, huh? Oh, no, I'm sorry, but I moved it over to another spot. Well, they had my name under the handicap, but I didn't. You know, it didn't dawned on me. I said, I'm not handicapped. I know Christians that get those just for they can get up front. I wouldn't hang one of those. I don't care if I'm too. Both of my arms were twisted. I wouldn't have them put it on my license plate. I'm willing to bring it. Hallelujah. You don't need one of those tags to get up front. Just believe God for a sparking place. Praise God. Anyway, don't take this away from my preaching time. This is just introduction. You know, some of this stuff makes people mad. But you know, I hope if it does make you mad that you'll get into the word of God. And don't be a carnal bucket and just leave mad without checking it out. I mean, you might be throwing away your answer to what get things turned around for you. I went into church. Oh, brother Ed, this is a hard town. I said, yeah, it's going to be hard for you, I'll tell you that. So I'm going to ask you, did God send you here? Yeah, it ain't hard no more. If he sent you there, then he gave you a place of authority to walk in that town, walk in your authority. Don't let Sister Bucketmouth run you in your church. Amen. Come over here and preach to you. I'm backing up because I got a. And every time I'd pull up, I'd say, playground. You supposed to be a building, you're supposed to be it for two years. Then one day I pulled up and God said, all right, now it's time to move that playground. So I got Steven, I got a guy in my church that has some. Has a pettibone, you know, and all that. He lifted all that stuff, moved it out. I said, I cut the fence down. We cut the wrought iron fence down. Then it was just dirt. And I keep coming up and I say, dirt, you're supposed to be a building. No, it's the same thing that Jesus talked to that tree. Now things will talk back to you because it's still dirt. No, it's moving because I got the playground out of there. So there is some movement. And then God said, now get it engineered and take that dirt out and pack it back in. You know how they go down six feet then you pack it back in? And so I had a guy in my church and I said, how much it'll cost for all that? He said, oh, about 35,000 to move it. And I said, okay. He said, but I ain't charging you that. This is my church. I should have a responsibility as my church. I said, how refreshing. You know, in my day, in my early days and my apprentice days in the ministry, we never charged the church for anything. We went down there and gave talents and our trades that went over real big, you know, as the pastors are saying. Amen. But I don't. Is it true? Oh, yeah, we just. What an honor to bring our trade that we learned. He took that dirt out, put it back in, and never charges a deal. And now I said, foundation, you come up. And I was sitting in the back room telling some people about preachers, and all of a sudden they started writing me checks. And that money came in for that and then the steel. Actually, I don't know if he wants me to say this. His church. How many did you have at that time? When you gave me that, he had 10 people in his church. And he paid for all the steel in my building. And now he's getting a brand new building, and that's just a few months ago, and got a radio station. He's on the radio now. And everything else. It's all coming to pass. Amen. And then, of course, you had to put some plumbing. We got some bathrooms in there. I had to put plumbing, the steel down, the steel up. And then I started talking to the wood. Is that fig tree? What is it? It's a fig wood and it had ears to hear. I don't have a picture of it. You have a picture of it in your phone of the building. I don't know if you do or not, but it's all framed up, it's wrapped. They're starting to put electrical. And when I left town Sunday afternoon, I met with a financial and we paid for. Everything is paid for right up to right now, inch by inch. It sure is a cinch. I'd like it to move faster now. Since I've gotten older, I've slowed up a little bit, but I've always wanted it yesterday. Now listen, he comes down here and he tells us how it works. See, anytime Jesus always explains if you'll study the word and listen. People skim over things and they miss it. Now look at remember Peter 21st Peter coming to remembrance, calling to remembrance, said, master, behold that fig tree. Thou cursed. And Jesus answered and said unto them, have faith in God now, for you are just learning, you know, studying the Word. I have a letter in front of have. Sometimes you'll have a number. And I look over, there's a cross. It says, have the faith of God. What I'm teaching you is the faith of God. How God moves, how God does things. Now you remember in Matthew 6 when he said, don't take the thought, say do not take the thought. That's a no, no, no. And say, where we going to get the money? How we going to get. He said, don't say that. Then he says, that's the way the world system works. But what did he say? But what? But seek ye first or how God rolls. That's in the new verracular day. How God does things or how he rolls. Righteousness or one Greek word says, be right, be right. How God does things and all these things will be added unto you. Now look at. There's the picture of our building where it is right now. That's one side of it that's got almost 9,000 square feet. Everything is paid for, paid in full right now. Everything's paid up to now. And it will continue to come in because I say so. And I'm going to teach you how to move it. Amen. Have the God kind of faith. Then he said, now don't take the thought and say, see, the biggest problem and if you pastor or minister is people getting their minds renewed. That is the biggest challenge is to get their mind renewed the way that God does things and not the way the world system works. You got to learn how does God do things. I'm not asking you to lie. I'm asking you, what did Jesus do in the Mount of Temptation? He used the word three times and ran him off. Three times. That's my pattern. Three times, buddy rubbing. We're shipping your saddle home. Amen. Well, you got to believe that you have authority. Amen. Then he said, have the God or how they do it. Remember, he said, don't say that, but seek ye. Find out how God does things and be right. See, people are not right about their tithe. They're not right about the local church, and it won't work for them. That's why they don't prosper, because they're not right. You're not right towards your wife. Here's the book. Just whatever he says, do it. You ain't buddy Rub. You don't treat your wife right, you ain't going to get a new truck. And if you do, it's going to break down because your prayers are hindered. Because you didn't treat your wife right. And a nagging wife ain't gonna get nothing either because she ain't honoring. Get the tape of this morning, what the Lord said to my wife. Not that she was trying to anyway. Have the faith of God. For verily now look at. Listen, listen. And verily I say unto you, this is Jesus, God in the flesh. Who's whosoever are you whosoever, so you qualify. You're born again, so you're the whosoever. All right, now listen. Do you think he's lying? I heard a guy on the radio one time, he was called the Bible Answer man. And he didn't answer anything. He referred to this scripture and said. He said this, see, now if you're ignorant of the Bible, you'll go along with it. A person that claims a Bible answer Man. And he said, can you imagine a radio program? Can you imagine at 3 o' clock in the morning, I was trying to find somebody to feed me, not put doubt and unbelief in me. He said, can you imagine anybody saying that you can have what you say? Can you imagine anybody saying that you can have the God kind of faith? And you know what I did? I couldn't talk to him. He didn't hear me. I just gone down the middle of the desert, Mojave Desert. I couldn't sleep, so I just said, I might as well drive home. And I brought my Bible over and I got a marker 11 and I put it up against the radio and I said, can't you read Jesus said, I can have what I say. Click. Now that's how you answer doubt and unbelief. God puts you in a city, he gives you a place of authority. Do you know, walking in this earth, he gives you a place of authority. See, that's what happened to Adam. He gave up the law of saying and his own angel ran him off out of the garden where he had been taken care of and had to toil. I don't toil. I don't toil for money. I don't toil. I've been redeemed from toiling. I don't have some people Christians are working seven days a week and don't even come to church because they're toiling. They try to make ends meet. And if they just straighten their mouth out and bring their family on Sunday and worship God and bring their tithe, God will bless you. He'll give you businesses. He'll bless your socks off. Look at. So who's a whosoever, raise your hand, shall say, now if you have a pen, I would recommend, you know, if you have a Bible you can't write on, throw it away and get a. Get one you can write in. Put a square around. Say, just to remind you, that's what we got right here. See we. This reminds us that it's all going to come to pass. What we're believing God for. For our ministry shall say under this mountain, be thou removed. Now look at it. Be thou removed. That's moving things. If you want some furniture move, you phone a moving company or go down to get a U Haul truck. But what do you do? You're moving at one place to another. See, he's teaching us how to move things. Now I remember I was at a meeting at Charlotte. Am I alright for time? Hallelujah. I remember I was in Charlotte and they were celebrating the building. Dad Hagin was there. He was preaching two nights. I preach Saturday night and Sunday morning and Friday night they had a banquet. They had a banquet and they sat me down next to him. Mom, Hagin wasn't there. They sat me next to him and his mouth was moving now. And you know he was saying something under his breath. Well, you know, a spiritual person is always praying in the Holy Ghost. There's no use having idle time. Just build yourself up while you're waiting or flying or driving or whatever. But it sounded like he was saying in English, so I reached. Now the stakes weren't there yet, so I just reached over to get some salt, you know, put it over Here, just in case, to hear what he said. And he was saying under his breath, it'll come to pass. It'll come to pass. It'll come to pass. And I'm over here and I'm asking God now, what will come to pass? He said, well, he. Remember when he was millions of dollars behind? And he said, he. And this is what God said. And I missed it. I missed it. God reminded me here a few months ago. He said, he's moving his money towards them by saying, it'll come to pass. That's what we're going to. It'll come to pass. And I go back and listen in the 60s and his tapes. And he said, I just want to let you know it'll come to pass. I said, I see it. How can you be in the ministry for 48 years and I still missed it? You're saying, see, you got to say it to move it. You got to say it to move it. To move it. He was moving that money. And after he went home to be with the Lord that same year, he went home to be with the Lord and that money came in on his watch and everything was paid up. See this new building you got across the street? You moved it with your money in your mouth. What was I doing? Every time I come to the parking lot, I'd talk to that. And I was moving it towards. Are you with me? Now listen, listen. He said, now you got to take it slow, for people can get a hold of it. Amen. Faith comes by here. Now look at, say one saying. Everybody say, there's one saying, so far. Be thou removed, Be thou cast in the sea and shall not doubt in his heart. Now I want to ask you something. Hallelujah. But shall believe. He who believes will have it. Now I want to ask you a question. How many faith people we got in here? Raise your hand. All right. How many of you believe? You're sitting in a chair. Let me see your hand. Now, why are you believing to sit in a chair when you already got it? Believing is when you don't. I just. I'm not trying to. Now you won't. Now you won't raise your hand for nothing the rest of the week. I'm not trying to make it listen, I'm just making a point. You see, we. The believing is in for the invisible when you don't see it. Believing that your angels are at work, your words are at work. And it's working where you can't see it, but it'll show up. You don't have to believe for a chair. You already got one. Now, forgive me. I didn't want to try to make you look like a fool. But I'm bringing out a point because I raised my hand and showed where I was at too before. So can you say amen? See if you already have it, you have a brand new Cadillac and you go around say, well, I'm believing for catalog. No, you already got it. You ain't believing for that. Are you with me? That's where people miss it. Now, a lot of people hone in a lot on the believing part. But I hone in more on the same part heart. Because there's three sayings he says here. The Bible says that your tongue is as a pen, as a ready writer. Now think about that. A pen does what and wants to do it right on your heart. Your tongue is like a pen. And when you say the word over your heart. That's why he said to guard your heart. Guard what you're saying. Because like my mother, she would say, I'm going to die in my early 40s. And she died at 45. Because she said it all the time. She wrote it on her heart. I could lay hands on her. I could have done everything. Well, that night before she died, she gave her heart to the Lord. She died of alcoholism, cirrhosis of the liver. Just her body all messed up. But she. That's what she would say. You know, if you're fearful, you know on these Christian stations they sell you the X5.3 serum. If your mother died of a heart attack, you need to take. See, they use. And if you're not careful. And there's nothing wrong with taking vitamins, but if you talk about that stuff all the time, it'll come on you. So the three saying will write it on your heart. And what's written on your heart is what you'll believe. That's why I always say, we have a supply, we have a supply, we have a supply. What are we doing? We're moving that supply. Now look at here. Believe in his heart and believe that those things which he saith, there's a second one shall come to pass. He shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you what things soever you desire when you play, believe that you receive them and you'll what you might have them. Now you see that simple thing. Well, going back and sitting next to brother Hagin, then he leans over and he said, the dam is about ready to break on you, brother Ed. And then I, you know, when he Said that I'm thinking, you know, your mind goes, well, I wonder what's behind that dam. Tested trials. And I, you know, tell me your mind don't go that way. I mean, it goes. It'll go that way. Amen. Amen. You have a mind that wanders off and still believe in your heart. But you know, you gotta. And then he leans back over and said, behind the dam is all the givers of the spirit. See, it's in that wave that I was just talking about. And that was the same year he went home to be with the Lord. And we're flowing in it. I said, we're flowing in it. Did you get some help tonight? What are you moving towards you? I tell pastors, do you come to small churches? I said, I wish you wouldn't say that. Well, what do you want me to say? I'm not going to lie about it. We got a small chair. I said, how about a pioneer church? That's better. Because, see, your own words will keep it small. Well, we're in a small town. I know one guy, he's in a town of 3,000 and he has over 300 people. I said, my God. He said, well, you know, we're a small church. I said, you ain't small. That same percentage. If you took the same percentage in a big town, you'd have thousands and thousands of people. Amen. I said, amen. You got the tithe of the city. Hallelujah. How many lives right here in the city? 14,000. So we need what, 1400 people to get the tithe? How about moving that house, that dream house? How about moving that? How about moving that car towards you? This works everything. And if the Lord allows me tomorrow night, I'll talk about how things have ears. I'll give you a little preview. Amen. Let me give you a little preview here. Hallelujah. I got a hundred dollar bill here. Amen. And who is that? It's there. Oh, Benji. What's that right there? Ear. An ear to hear. And what is this made out of? Now listen, and we'll pick up here tomorrow night if the Lord allows us to. Everything plaster, everything drops ceiling, tv, light. Everything has an ear to hear. And it's waiting to hear from home for you to move it towards you. Stand to your feet. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory be to God. I don't know if I helped you. See, the Lord said, now teach the people how you move things. That's how I get the equipment. That's how I get my mission. Airplanes that's how I get my buildings. I started out late in the ministry. I didn't start preaching until I was about 30. But I'm doing catch up by the spirit of God. You can't. You, you get, you, you, you single people and get the right person in your life because if you don't, especially if you're called to ministry, it's going to be hell. I mean, you, you, you, you can survive. But when God sends. I started calling a wife 20, 28 years ago, started calling a wife now. Many came. When you're calling, I mean, just whistle. In a neighborhood full of dogs, unless you call a name, they're going to all come out of seven. Well, there's seven billion people. Out of seven billion people. God put us together. She was in a bad engagement and that broke off and God put us together and it's been nothing but heaven on Earth for 28 years. Instead of fighting like she. Get that tape of this morning. My goodness, get that tape. And especially in ministry, if you don't have the right people, the devil's going to use one to irritate the other other. And it matters to have the right and it works the same. Out of 7 billion people, God put us together. Are you bragging? I guess you could say I am. I'm bragging on God. Yeah, but we have peace in our heart. We don't. Hallelujah. Getting some help. You're going to start moving things, move the right things to you. Put a governor on your mouth. Amen. I mean, you can have fun, but still just put a governor on your mouth. What you're saying about what you're doing. Had one guy, he says, ah, this old stupid car. I said, you'll never get another one. You might as well enjoy it. Because what you're saying, you don't take care of it, you're not grateful. How about the house you got? You ain't going to get another one. When you got old toilets sitting out in the front with flowers in them old broken down cars in the front. No, no, listen, I'm telling you the truth. I'm a stickler for our buildings. Everything, my airplane, everything that we got is a one condition. And it's first class, isn't it? First class. Our ministry helps first class. Our congregation first class. Because Jesus, he comes over my house. I got a certain way. I want my lawn, I want it green, I want it cut just right. I want flowers around to represent heaven. Amen. An excellent. There's something about excellence. Hallelujah. Amen my excellence. I run around with excellent people. I'm not saying I'm better than any other, but I'm going to run around with faith people. People that talk, right? I had one guy says, well, you're off now. Let's go to Las Vegas and see a show. I says, off from what? Well, you don't know how to take a vacation. Well, you mean take a vacation and sin to go see a pasty show. They did preachers and they called us rank and all of them are all messed up today drinking and still in the ministry. Drinking, drinking wine before they go preach half loaded not on the Holy Ghost we Trust. You've enjoyed this message.
