A
Well, I want to talk today, just briefly about something. Last year in 24, there was a lot of things that God talked to me about and did. But there were two main themes. I know we're in 25, but he specified to me, he said, I want you to repeat those themes because even though I told you about them in 24, they are not limited to 24. They are part of your life. They are a lifestyle. They are part of your life cycle, so to speak. You do them on a regular basis. That is what I mean by life cycle. And the two focus, I won't tell you the second one because that will do that next week. But there was two focuses that he told me to do. A lot of that he really emphasized heavy to me in 24. And I had other stuff that I wanted to share with you, some new things. But I heard the Lord very clearly, very clearly last night and he said, I want you to re emphasize those two focuses because it's not just for that time. I told you it's for your life. And people need to hear this. And so I want to talk to you about Speak more. Okay. Very simple. And I actually don't really have a whole long sermon scheduled for today, but I'm just going to talk out of my heart a little bit. But the Lord said this last year, he said two things you need to really focus on. And he told me in order. And he said one of them is to speak more. And then the other one again, I'll share that later. But he said you need to speak more. And he listen, I can say that to you. Speak more. And you're like, yeah, I know, I know, I know. And it's just like a basic instruction. But when God speaks it to you and he gives you a revelation of it, it's no longer just a simple little passing by comment that somebody may make. And so I'm praying that the revelation that I the sense of that revelation that I received when he said it to me, that God would be able to communicate that to you by the anointing because I can't communicate it mentally. But the Spirit, the Holy Spirit can touch those words and plant them in your heart and make them grow and just explode on the inside of you. Because there is a great truth. It sounds so simple, but there is a great truth to this that we need to emphasize. And so if you turn with me, please first to the book of Second Corinthians, chapter four. You got your Bibles, Second Corinthians, chapter four, Hallelujah. Second Corinthians, chapter four. I talked to Pastor Nancy yesterday on the phone, and she sends her love and greetings to all of you. She's in Texas setting up her new studio, and even though she's not. She's not coming to our church. And by the way, she said, I just want you to know that me and my team, it is one of the easiest places we go to is promise of life. We love coming to promise of life. She just said, the Lord wanted me to do some other locations, and we have to get the word out to some other places. And so. But she greets you, and I said, would you. Is there time for you to come? It's not a crusade, but can you just come preach to us because we miss you. And she said, absolutely. So she's coming. I don't exactly know when, but she will be coming at some point this year and minister to us just as a congregation. And I appreciate that she came last year. May. She hadn't come in five years because of COVID but she came last year. And I'm believing she'll come every year. Praise the Lord. But what did I say now? Second Corinthians, chapter four. Do you know the verse? Okay, let's guess. It is verse 13, and it says here. Actually, let's read verse 12. So then death worketh in us. Is this right? Second Corinthians, chapter four. Yeah. So then death. Where am I here? So then death worketh in us, but life in you. Life, life. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written. He's quoting the Old Testament. I believed, and therefore have I spoken. We also believe, and therefore we speak. I believed, and therefore have I spoken. We also believe, and therefore we speak. We having the same spirit of faith. Do you see that? The spirit of faith, there is mechanics of faith. I've been teaching you some of those mechanics lately. Because when you're stretching your elastic, that's all the mechanics. When you're being led by the spirit and what you can believe, for those are mechanics, as you confess. And you're believing for that to come in. There's a mechanic to that. There's nothing wrong with that. You've got to have mechanics or it doesn't work. And then you grow to the next level. And then you grow to the next level. And there is the mechanics of faith, which is the rules of faith, if you want to call it. There's also. The Bible talks about the law of faith, and there's different ways that faith is described. Okay? But then there's something here very precious called and we having the same spirit of faith. The spirit of faith is not just limited to mechanics. The spirit of faith is an attitude. And when you learn to speak more, when speaking is a major part of your focus, it's something you think about every day. It's something you remind yourself. You get into such a second nature, an automatic habit, that it just becomes part of your lifestyle. But really, this speaking more. Notice it says, we have the same spirit of faith. And it really gives us the definition because it says when we've got the spirit of faith, it says, we believe, therefore we have spoken. As it is written, I believe, therefore I have spoken. So we also believe. He's talking about the New Testament, and therefore we speak. So notice he's talking about the spirit of faith is connected to speaking. If you want to take it scripturally. Do you understand? Now, you all remember Pastor Bill Matthews. He came last year. Do you remember Pastor Bill Matthews? And he was telling me, I think I have mentioned this to you, but I'll say it again. He was having a service there in Dominican Republic. We've been there on a mission trip before, twice. And he was on the ocean. And there was this kind of apartment building, kind of not apartment building. It was like a hotel, I guess. And they had different conference centers on different rooms, not just on the ground floor. And it was looking out over that beautiful ocean, really, the Gulf of America, now it's called, or Gulf of Mexico, whatever it's called. I don't know, let's just call it what it is, the Gulf of Mexico. Anyway. And they were looking out. Now, don't get distracted. Stay with me, okay? Because I can see some of you are looking on your phones. Don't look on your phones. Please just stay with me. He was looking out over the Gulf of Mexico from Dominican Republic, or I think it was that side. He was looking west, not east, because that would be over the ocean. And it was such a beautiful picture with that light, bluish green water. And it was like a resort. The pastors had come and come to this hotel, but they were all staying in the hotel, and it was a resort property. And he was training these pastors. And so there was big open doors at the back of what their little sanctuary was, this room and all glasses. And they could see. You could see out. And so they were all facing, but they were getting distracted because they were looking at the view. So he made everybody turn their seats around, and their back was now to the view. And now he is the only one seeing the view because he wants them to focus. And as he's preaching, he looks out and he sees what is very small. It looked like the size of a small marble at first because it was so far away. But he saw what looked like a glowing ball with what eventually he discovered was a fireball. And he saw it come down out of the clouds and it went straight down to the water level and it was way out to sea. But it was so bright that he could see it from this hotel room, this conference room. And he's kind of preaching, but he's looking because this is an unusual sight, you know, and he sees it's coming across the water at a very high rate of speed. And then when it got the hotel was a circular, it was like a semicircle, like a moon shape, like a half moon. So he's on one side, but he can see the other side. The building is curling around. He can see where he is, that other part of the building. And he saw it come down, come across the water. And it came over, came up the beach and it went up the side of that, what he can see of that hotel up the side of the building. And as it's, and it's now, it's much closer and he can see it's about a six foot in diameter, a six foot circle. So that's the size of a human being. And it's a fireball. It's fire, it's glowing red. I mean, that's pretty bizarre. And he sees it go up on the same kind of floor that he's at. And then it starts speeding down. Now he can't see it because it's coming around the curve, but he said it started coming toward him and it came in that back door. It paused at the back door. The back door is open to let the breeze in. The pastors can't see it, but he's there standing behind the pulpit and it's right there at the back door, a six foot fireball. And it came rolling down the center aisle. And so he stopped preaching. I think I would have stopped preaching too. And it came and stood right in front of him and he didn't know what to do. So he just went quiet and he just. And then he said, and out of that fireball, which was the size of a human six feet, he said, he said, jesus leg came out of that fireball. Part of his body, I think he said it was the left side of his body, stepped out, the right side was still in the ball, but his left side, his leg, his arm and his. And his face, his head was outside that ball. And he looked at him and he pointed his finger at him. Because he had been preaching about the spirit of faith, and he had just read the scripture. And Jesus said, this is an open vision. He's seeing it just like I'm seeing you, junior, he said. And Jesus pointed his finger and he said, you do have the spirit of faith. Because he had just been preaching, you need to have the spirit of faith. And he's telling him, you do have the spirit of faith. And then he paused, and he said, so speak more. And he said it bold like that, like, not. Not a correction, not he's mad, but like, he's intense. He's trying to impart something to him. He said, because he's preaching, we need to have the spirit of faith. You need to have the spirit of faith. What is the spirit of faith? And they're going on and. And Jesus. That was a divinely granted appearance, Kenneth Hagin would call it. That was an open vision. That was a precious moment. And it didn't just happen for him. It happened for me. It happened for all of us. Because these are for the body. They're not just for one individual minister and for those pastors in that room. And the Lord said to him, you do have this. In other words, he heard him preach. He heard him get excited about the spirit of faith. And he was encouraging him, and he said, you do have it. Don't think you don't. You do have it. But then there's a pause because now there's an instruction, speak more. Meaning if you've got it, which you do, but if you do, you should be speaking more. He didn't say you don't have it. He said, you do have it. So because you got it, open your mouth more. So I talked to him at length, and I said, so what did. Are you sure the Lord, like, how exactly did he mean it? Did he mean, like, you have been speaking more? Good for you. And he goes, no, no, no, Craig. He said it was kind of like a rebuke, but not in a mean way. It was more instructional of anything. But he said. He was telling me, you got it, but now, because you got it, open your mouth. Open your mouth. Speak. Speak more. Speak more. Because the spirit of faith speaks. The mechanics of faith knows the law of faith. I need to confess with my mouth, believe with my heart, I'll receive it. But then you end up doing that mechanically. You do it. When you're praying, you do it when you have to. You do it when you're in your prayer mode, your faith mode, your you're talking to God mode. But it's kind of like a little. A little box in your day, and you do it, and then you don't do it any other time in the day. That's called the mechanics of faith. Mechanics of faith is what you do just in your box. But the majority of your day, you're not thinking about it. Now you are in faith because you've done the mechanics and thank God for the mechanics. But there's something so much more important than just the little box that you do, because, you know, this is my faith moment. Let me believe with my heart. Confess with my mouth. Let me believe Mark 11:23. Let me believe Mark 11:24. Lord, I'm believing to receive this. So you say whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe you receive them and you shall have them. So, Lord, right now I believe I release my faith that I have, that I take that by faith. I've got. That's all mechanics. Are you listening to me? And you, Most of us will do the mechanics. Listen, 99% of Christians don't even know the mechanics. But this church, because I teach you and because we bring in people to teach you, because other people taught me and I shared with you some weeks back about my journey of seven years of searching. And thank God I searched because a lot of people I know from that time back then, they still don't know it. They still don't have it. And their life looks the same. My life doesn't look the same because faith changed it. My understanding of how to get prayers answered change it. My understanding of what pleases heaven, because without faith, you cannot please him. Hebrews 11:6. My revelation of it through Dr. Dufresne, through dad Hagin, through Pastor Nancy and others, has changed my life. You're reading these testimonies and you're hearing faith come out of these testimonies. People are doing the word and it actually, wow, it works. Do you understand? I'm not knocking the mechanics. You must do the mechanics. If you don't do the mechanics, you're not a faith person. Have a time in your day or your week, however often you do it, and release your faith. Quote those verses and believe you receive something by faith. Do the mechanics. But listen to me very careful. I'm giving you revelation here. If all you do is the mechanics, how do you know that's all you do? Because it's a little box in your day and out of your 24 hours, let's give it. If you get an eight hours sleep, let's just. Because that's what they say you're supposed to. I don't think all of us do. But anyway, let's just say out of 16 hours of usable time, because you can't really be doing it while you sleep. So out of 16 hours a day usable time, where you can actually do something with your brain because you're not in your, you know, your subconscious, out of 16 hours, you, maybe you do the mechanics, maybe some of you don't even do it every day, but whenever you do do it, it might be 5 minutes, 10 minutes in a little box, but thank God it's there. I thank God you're doing it. But out of 16 hours, it's a quarter of an hour or less and it's a little box. But you did. So now you tick that box. I'm in faith. I've released my faith. I've intentionally aggressively on purpose, walked in faith, spoke faith, released faith. And I'm standing in faith. And that thing will come to pass. Now, you know, you're a faith person. Jesus, when he comes back to the earth, he's looking for you. He's going to take everybody with him, don't get me wrong. But he said, when I come to the earth, will I find faith? He wants people that trust him and believe him, you know? David was having a Holy Ghost meeting. David Hogan in the jungles. He told me personally and he said, craig, he said, we had about, I don't know, 400 people there, 500 people there in the jungle. It's like a clearing, you know, like it's really in the middle of nowhere. And they got a little tent set up and they're having a Holy Ghost service. And the presence of God showed up and, and he. And there wasn't much healings, he said, but you know that kind of that drunken flow where people are just rolling and laughing and praising and I mean, it's just kind of like a holy, I don't know what you call it, but a Holy Ghost service. And they're having this Holy Ghost service and it's going on for a while and people are just enjoying. There's a time and a place for that, and people are enjoying the presence of God. Jesus appeared. He came through the tree line. And Jody, David didn't see him. Jody Hogan, his son he was the only one that saw him. Jesus was wearing a glistening white robe and he walked. He walked from the tree line into the middle of that. What you would call the joy. Just this whole thing, this mess. It's not a mess, but you know what I mean? I mean, when people are acting like that, I mean, it is wild. He walked right into the middle of that, and he's looking at people. And Jody said he wasn't looking like he was pleased, although there's nothing wrong with that flow. We need that flow. It's a refreshing. But he was looking around at all this manifestation. And then he turned and he started walking back to the tree line. And Jody. Jody reached out and grabbed his. His guard, his robe. And he grabbed his robe and he said, lord, where you going? Because, I mean, we want Jesus to show up. What are you. Why are you leaving? And he tugged on his. Grabbed his robe and he said, jesus, turn. He was not pleased. And he turned at me and he looked and he said, fire shot out of his eyes at me. And he said, I let go that robe. Like, in other words, I had crossed a protocol line. I should not have touched him. He didn't know that. But that's evidently the way Jesus looked at him. Like, what are you doing? He was not happy when he looked around, and he was not happy when he looked at Jody and fire shot out of his eyes. And he said, lord, he let him go. And he cringed. And he said, lord, he said, why are you leaving? We are here for you. We are doing this for you. We are having this thing for you. Why are you leaving? And the Lord looked at him, I'm telling you, Jody told me this himself. And Jesus looked at him and said to him, there's not enough faith here. And he turned around and he walked into the forest. Meaning you can get drunk in the Holy Ghost and not have any faith. Meaning you can be refreshed and not have any faith. Meaning you can have a Holy Ghost wild service. But what pleases him is not the Holy Ghost wild service, although he loves that in terms of it refreshes the body and there's a time and place for it. We're not against that. But what pleases him is not all those manifestations. What pleases him highest is when people are releasing their faith for something. Do you understand? In that service, what he was saying is, you're all responding, but no one's believing me for anything. And that's. Well, notice why, Dave, I thought it was very interesting. David said, you know, in that service, there was a lot of manifestations of joy and of all that stuff. But he said there wasn't really any healings, there wasn't any salvations. Meaning you're not. It's great to receive those flows, but you've got to. In the middle of that, you've still got to. This God is always looking. Are you believing me? Are you believing me for somebody to get saved while they're watching? Are you believing me for somebody to get healed while they're rolling? Are you releasing your faith in that flow? Because without it, you're not pleasing him. The goal is not to get drunk. That's just the first base. The goal is to go further. The drunkenness refreshes and helps you, but it gets you to go further into other places of the spirit and believing and using your faith in those places to receive what God has for you that's stored up in those places. It's not the goal is not to just have those kind of services. It's where are we going with this? Are we going further? Did that experience help me go further in my faith? Are you listening? And Jesus was displeased because there was a lot of manifestations, but there was no faith. And what pleases him? No verse that says manifestations please him, although it doesn't displease him. But what pleases him is faith. Are you with me? So if you are in faith, even if it's a tiny bit in your day or in your week, but there's a time and a place where you intentionally, you confess that scripture or whatever scripture it is. But Mark 11:24 is the main one. And you are saying, lord, now I believe I received this thing. I release my faith. I know it's your will. I know that if I pray, you hear me. If I know you hear me, I know I have what I've asked of you. Now, I'm believing for this job. I'm believing for this visa. I'm believing for this new client. I'm believing for this blunt to go away. Do you understand? I'm believing for me to continue my love affair with milk and not have any reactions from it. Do you understand? But in that little moment, you are releasing faith. You are saying, lord, I believe in my heart. And I say with my mouth, because Jesus paid for it at the cross. I take it now it's mine. I take it in Jesus name. I will not be denied. We will not be deported. I will not put up with this anymore. It's mine. I've got it by faith. And I'll praise you now till I see it manifested. Now you do that in that moment, and that means you're a person of faith and it will work for you and you'll be one of the testifiers. But what you have accomplished is the mechanics of faith. Thank God for the mechanics. But that is, that is just a lower rung because that's the baseline. I'm trying to get you to go beyond the baseline because there's something beyond the baseline. Beyond the baseline is called the spirit of faith, the law of faith. The law means the mechanics of faith. And there's scripture that talks about the law of faith. That is the baseline. That's what I just explained to you. Most Christians don't even have the baseline. But if you have the baseline, but that's all you have, then you're doing good, but you're not doing great. To have the spirit of faith means that you are speaking more in conjunction with your mechanic session. Do you understand? You had your mechanic session, you did the official act, you are in faith. But now the difference is, do you forget about that until the next time God reminds you because he shouldn't have to remind you. Do you forget about that until the next time you're at church and you hear it preached? Or do you forget about that until the next time three days later, you've got a reminder on your phone. And so now you see the reminder, so now you do the mechanics again. Or is it a living thing, do you understand? A living, breathing thing that is inside you and like a volcano, it's starting, it's, it's moving, it's erupting, it's, it's alive. Mechanics are not really alive. They, they, they. If I'm trying to, I'm trying to distinguish it, because you could argue with me, the mechanics are alive and they are. But I'm saying compared to the spirit of faith, the law of faith is not really alive. The same way the law of faith is something you do as an action, as an assignment. You do it because it's right. But then most people, they forget about that box because they go on with their life until the next time they come back to that box. But when you've got not just the mechanics or the law of faith, where you got the spirit of faith, it's bubbling in you, it's bubbling in you. It's the spirit, it's the life of faith, it's not just the mechanics, the wooden part of it where you are doing a structure, but now you've got something breathing in you, it's moving in you. That's called the spirit of faith. And the spirit of faith is expressed when you are speaking, not because you're reminded, forced to. The pastor says you have to, or the Holy Ghost tells you to, but you are speaking because it's a living thing in you and it keeps popping up, it keeps popping up, it keeps popping up. And so what you find is you did your mechanic session, Dan, but then as you go about your day, you find yourself speaking in line with the mechanic session. But you're not doing it mechanically. You did it mechanically, but now it's like, it's like that. You know, Pastor Gary and Kathy, we, we saw them, we went to say goodbye to Oasis and pray over it and say our goodbyes and we did all that on Friday and they met us there for lunch and they were showing me a picture of Kathy where she grew up in Guatemala. And across the road from her house was an active volcano. Was it Guatemala, Isn't it? Guatemala, Nicaragua, sorry, Nicaragua. And there's an active volcano and it's like, it's like a chasm and you can look down in it, but it is constantly erupting and it looks like. Gary said, I wonder if that's what the Lake of Fire must look like. I mean, it's astonishing. I mean it's, I mean it's like, I don't know, 20 Olympic swimming pools. I mean it's quite large, but I mean it's just, it's like an ocean of lava and it's constantly burping and little sprays going up and it's moving and it's rolling and it's. And the sulfur is coming out 24 hours a day. It's a permanently active volcano and it's right across where she used to live. Don't slip on that. She said in those old days, those demon possessed people of the old days hundreds of years ago, they would. Because they're demon possessed, they didn't have gospel light. They would take virgins onto the top of that, the lip of that crater and they would throw the virgins into the, into the lava to appease the demon gods, to bless their crops. Oh, if they only knew the gospel. Can you imagine being a Joey said I'd be promiscuous. I'd do whatever I had not to be a virgin. I don't want to be thrown in the lava. My God. There's no rewards for keeping yourself chaste in those times. Miles are just. Anyway, let's move right along. Thank God that's not us. Oh, Jesus. But that Thing I was watching the video and it's bubbling and it's moving and it looked alive. Do you understand? It's got movement to it. That's what I'm saying. The spirit of faith. It bubbles in you. It burps in you. There's a little bit of spray that's coming. It's moving. It's living. It's not a wooden mechanic. Okay, I believe I receive. Amen. Goodbye. It's. What is this, Lord? In the name of Jesus. It'll come. And you find yourself as you're driving. You start to speak. Yes, Lord. And what you're doing, really what you're doing is Romans, chapter four. Now, you don't know your Bibles very well, I know, but let's turn there. No, I'm kidding. You could probably quote it better than I could. Notice how encouraging I am to all of you. See, the Lord's changing me from the inside out. Just praise God. Jennifer said you're becoming sweeter by the day. See, that's a faith confession. Do you see that? She's doing it. And it's coming to pass. Jennifer. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Romans, chapter four. I can't find it in that. I got to look. I know where it's located in my regular Bible. You know, these new pages, you got to search. I know where my eye falls. Praise God. Okay, as it is written. Now let's go to verse 16. Therefore it is of faith that it might be by grace. Power doesn't operate. That's grace. Unless there's faith. Remember I kept quoting you all those verses about faith. Power. We are kept by the power of God through faith. Remember I quote you over those verses. Well, here's another good one. It is of. Therefore it is of faith that it might be by grace. Grace is the power. Grace can't happen. Power can't work in your direction. Resurrection grace or power can't be yours if it's not by faith. Faith releases everything to the end that the promise might be sure to all the seed not only. Not to that only which is of the law, but also that which is of faith. Of Abraham, who is the father of us all. He's meaning Jews can have this. And Gentiles can have this. Because Abraham's the father of all of us. As it is written, verse 17. I have made thee a father of many nations before him whom he believed, even God who quickens the dead. He made alive his mortal body because he couldn't have children at that age. And calleth things that Be not as though they were. Now, what did God call Abram? He. He said, I'm going to start calling you Abraham, Father of many nations. He don't have any kid. So even the name was calling things that be not as though they are. He kept hearing father, Father of many nations. Instead of just Abraham, there was now father of many nations. See what God was doing? Even by changing his name, he was calling him something that hadn't happened yet. We could say this, that we call those things that be not as though they are. You're not calling things that are as though they're not. That's Christian Science. That's other falsities out there where you're denying reality and you're saying, I don't have cancer. I don't have cancer. I don't have cancer. I don't have cancer. No, you got cancer and it's going to kill you. Telling you don't have it is not going to change anything. You're not calling things that are as though they are not. That's denying reality. No wonder people make fun of us if that's what you're doing. Some person, years ago in our congregation, they called up, they said, we're going to cancel your phone. You don't haven't paid your bill. She goes, I don't believe in you. I don't believe I have. I don't have a phone bill. I don't have. And she hung up on the person from Rogers saying, I don't have a phone bill. Please don't hand out a card when you're doing that because they're going to think we're kooks, flakes, weirdos and nut jobs. Okay, don't give me that look, Jennifer. That's what people are going to think we are. If you hand out cards while calling things that are as though they're not. No, no. It says we call things that be not yet. What we're looking for to be manifested has not yet manifested. We taught that and we say it is. God was saying, you're going to have children, but you don't have any yet. But I'm calling things that have not yet manifested as though they already have manifested. I'm not talking about your barrenness. I'm not saying you're not barren because you are. But I'm not calling things that are barren as though it isn't. I'm saying I'm calling things that are not yet yet yet. I'm calling things that have not happened yet manifested yet, but that you're believing for. I'm saying that they already are. Now that's faith. Now listen, the spirit of faith, okay, the mechanics will do that in the wooden block of time, but the spirit will bubble that out of you. As your day progresses, you'll be thinking about. It will just come out of you. And you say, well, how do I get there? Start. You kind of have to start just with an effort. And when you start, it's like a little spark hits that tinder and it starts to catch. So don't wait for an apple to hit you or the Holy Ghost to fall on you in some kind of a session. And you think that's just going to continue on all your life. It doesn't work that way. You kind of start it, you do your mechanics, but then as you go about your day, force yourself. I know it doesn't sound very spiritual, but it is. Force yourself just to start speaking even though you don't feel it. You don't feel the bubble, you don't feel the lava. Just force yourself to start speaking. Because as you do that, you're striking a match now that's going to hit that spirit of yours, and you'll find it becomes second nature. The easiest thing you've ever done to be talking all the time. It's not an effort. It's an effort at the beginning. And I'm not talking mechanics. Mechanics you do, and that's a separate issue. I'm talking now. What do you do when you're not in the mechanics? What do you do for the other 15 hours and 45 minutes? If you want to look at it that way, it can't just be the little mechanical prayer. It's got to be a living thing that comes out of you. How do you get the living thing to start? You strike a match. The match is your effort to start speaking outside your mechanic time. Outside your mechanic time, Outside your mechanic time. When you're just driving, when you're cooking, when you're in the shower, whatever, just start to say, start to say. Because the spirit of faith says, start to say, lord, I call, I call, I call. And whatever it is you need that client. I thank you for that client. I got that client. Lord, if it's healing, I thank you, Father. You can feel the bump, but you say, I call my leg healed. I am healed. I have. Lord, I thank you. I know there's the bump. I can feel it. But I'm not focusing what is. I'm focusing on what has not yet manifested. And I'm saying That is my portion. I am the healed. My leg is healed. I didn't say there's no bump. I said it's healed. But it starts to come out of you. Not in your mechanic time. It comes out of you at different times in the day because you struck the match and you lit the fire. And now in a little while, you don't have to force yourself to say it because it's living and it starts to. It just starts. It's just moving in you like that lava. It's just moving in you. And. And before you know it, you find yourself on a regular basis speaking more. This is going to be a major. This is a major thing about whether you are developed spiritually or not. Your words. The Bible says, find the scripture for me, happy. The Bible says life and death is in the power of the tongue. Choose. And then he gives them the answer. Because you're so stupid. I'm gonna give you the answer. Choose life. And people still choose death in this church every day. Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Oh, my God, I'm in so much pain. Oh, Lord, the economy. Oh, my God. If Trump would happen, we might become the 51st state. I just don't feel too good, Pastor. I just don't feel too good. I just don't feel. Feel too good. Where were you on Sunday? I didn't feel good. Okay. How do you feel now? Worse. Well, you're going to come next Sunday? Probably not, because I'll feel even worse. Where is it? Proverbs. Let's hope you're right, brother. Proverbs 18:21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. The power of the tongue. The. The tongue has power. Words have power. Jesus said, my words are spirit and life. My words are spirit and life. Power, power. You can have death and you can have life. He said, my words are life. Jesus is the Word made flesh. So when you're speaking the Word or confessions in line with the Word, you're speaking life. And that can't be just in your mechanical moment of prayer. It's got to be throughout your day. You with me. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. And they that love it shall eat the fruit of it. If you love the tongue, if you speak life, you're going to eat some fruit. In other words, what you're saying is going to manifest to you, like fruit. I don't know where that is. It's not the verse. It is the verse, but it's not the verse where it says, I put before you life and death choose. You didn't find that one, Pastor Happy. Okay, find it up for me now. Let me read you verse 20 while the Associate is finding that. I was hoping he'd have memorized it, but, you know, you take with what you got, you know what I'm saying? And of course, I haven't memorized it, so I'm just busting his chops. Look at verse 20. A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth, and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. So you will be satisfied financially, you'll be satisfied in health, you'll be satisfied relationally, you'll be satisfied emotionally, you'll be satisfied in your businesses with what? The fruit of your mouth. That means words. And with your increase. Notice that, Pappy. The increase of his words, his speaking, his lips. Increase. Increase. Speak more. Increase it. Increase it. Increase it. He shall be filled. The more I speak, the more I'm filled. The more I speak, the more it works. I don't just speak in the mechanical session of my wooden prayer time, although that is the baseline. I've got to have a living thing that's bubbling in me all day, and it's got to come out of me. And I might have to force myself at the beginning, but it will get to the point where it will just bubble in me. And it will be so easy because I've got to increase my lips and speak so that I am filled with what I say. I say I'm healed. I'll be filled with healing. I say that this thing. I'm healed from this condition. I'll be filled with healing from that condition. I say my business prospers. I'll be filled with prosperity in that business. Are you listening to me? I'm not just are we. Are we name it and claim it? Yes, but I don't like that phrase. So those of you that said, no, I salute you. Are we blabbit and grab it? Yes. But I thank you for those that said no, because I don't like that terminology. But let me tell you, Jesus was blabbit and grab it. And Jesus was name it and claim it. So when they attack, you, just say, look at Jesus. Because he said he, not Kenneth Hagin. He said, have faith in God. Whosoever shall say one one word to this mountain, be thou removed and cast into the sea. And shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that whatever he says saith will come to pass. He will have whatever he says. One word Believe three words. Say dad Hagin said, for all you're believing, make sure you're tripling your saying 1 and 3. I've got a picture of Dan Hagin with his 3. His hand like this and 3, 3 in his other fingers. And he was preaching. Yes, we've got to believe. Nothing works if you don't believe. But in Jesus. What Jesus said is blab it and then grab it. Blab it, verse 23 and then grab it in verse 24. I believe, I receive, I take it, it's mine. See, that's the grabbing it. So you could call us these awful phrases, but it would actually be true because Jesus started blabbit. Grab it craze. Jesus started the name and claim it, little group. So if you've got a problem with it, you've got a problem with Jesus because he's the one that said it. If you can prove to me that he didn't say it, I'll never do it again. But you have to change the scripture to prove it to me. Jesus said it. Jesus said it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He said to that tree, no one eat fruit of you again. Notice that now they said he cursed it, but he didn't actually use the word I curse you. He just said, no one is going to eat of you again. What did he do? He called things that be not yet, which is death in the tree, as though it already had happened to say, no one is ever going to eat of you again. And the next morning, nobody ever ate of it again because he called those things that be not as though they were. He was calling it from that realm into this realm. He was releasing faith and dominion and authority with his saying. And when they said, my God, my God, what is this? How did you do this? Oh, this is spooky. Lord Jesus, what's going on? He says this. What you're seeing here, you see how I said that? And then it came to pass. This is the faith of God. This is how God made the earth. This is your dominion. This is how I want you to live because you're part of God. You're part of me. If God your father does it. Remember Bill Winston would say, if you talk like God, you're going to stand out. Anyone that talks like God is going to be different to everybody around them. Even in the Christian circles. Even in the Christian circles. Most Christians don't talk like God. They talk like what they see. But God talks what he doesn't see. That hasn't happened yet. And that's why it actually shows up? Because he called what he didn't see yet, but. But he was believing. He said, world be. And it was. He didn't complain about the fact that there wasn't world. He just said, light be, firmament, B. He called those things that be not as though they were. And they were. This is God's system, guys. This is why Jesus said, have the faith of God. This is how you do it. You see the fig tree? This works in every capacity of your life. Now do it God's way, which is the faith way. And how is that way? Number one, say to that mountain, say, say, say go. It will obey you. Believe in your heart that what you say will come to pass and you'll have anything you say. Then he says, now whatever you desire, when you pray, talk to the Lord, talk to the Father and believe. You take that, receive that. It's still saying, though. Take it right now when you pray. That's the mechanics. But the spirit of faith does this throughout the day. It's not a wooden, mechanical moment where I've done my faith duty and now I can just relax. No, no. It's not about being under torment or pressure. It's not about not relaxing. I'm relaxing even though I've got the spirit of faith. But what I'm saying is there's a bubbling in me to speak more. Are you with me? Because my life is going to be filled with the increase, increase, increase of my lips. I've got to speak more. And the Lord started dealing with me about that. You. He said, speak more, son, speak more. The spirit of faith is about speaking and speaking more. And Jesus said to him, you got the spirit of faith. Speak more. Because if you really got the spirit of this thing, not just the wooden mechanics of it, if it's a living thing, you're going to find yourself saying things far more often. Can I encourage you today to do this? I was sitting with Randy Greer last year when he came. We were sitting at the Mandarin restaurant and he said something and just knocked my wig right off. I don't even have a wig, but it still knocked it off. And he was talking to me and I was saying him something. I was facing and he said. And I was telling him the story and whatever, whatever. And I'm not complaining. I'm just. He's an elder brother, he's an elder spiritual man. I'm just telling him in case he has any advice. Maybe it's some deep revelation that, I don't know, maybe he's got A word as a prophet, I don't know. But I'm telling him all this. And it was so simple and not really a word, although it was a word. And he said, so what have you been saying? What do you mean, what have I been saying? I've just told you the problem. And he goes, I know, but what have you been saying? And it was so simple and a rebuke, but also a loving correction. And I thought, oh, yeah, been talking about this a lot to my wife and now to you. And God knows that he's tired of hearing it because I've been talking to him about it for a long time. But see, I'm talking to God, but I'm not saying. And the Holy Spirit just spoke to me, said, listen to him, I'm trying to help you. And brother Randy looked at me and he goes, craig, you got to speak more. Now, God had already been dealing with me about this, so this was like a direct confirmation that I didn't even talk to him about that God had been dealing with me about this. This is in the earlier part of last year. But he said, you got to speak more. And he said, you remember when I was in the prison? And God said, it's time for you to step into that ministry and you're going to get out of this prison. And he said, now one of the things I need you to do is start casting out devils because it's a hotbed of devils in there, remember? And he said, what did the Lord tell him to do? He said to me, craig, what did God tell me to do? And I know the story. So I said he had. You can speak it. He said, right? He said, before I prayed for the first person, he said, I'd walk around the yard, I'd do laps around that yard, that prison yard, and I'd say, I cast out devils. In Jesus name. I cast out devils. Notice what he's doing. He's calling things that had not yet happened because he's not casting out devils, but he's talking as though it has already happened. That's what calling things that be not, as though they are not. I will. He didn't say the word will. He said, I cast out devil. I cast out devils. Remember, Jesus comes with the sword to Joshua. And if you look at the word, the mighty men thereof, Joshua 6. If you look at that, it means the Hebrew word gabor, which is where you get giants. It's the same word that was used with Goliath. There were regular people, but there were these giant Beings in that Jericho place. And Jesus knows how impossible it is. They would have chariot races around the top of that thing that the historians tell us the walls were so wide, I mean, that they would build entire homes into the wall. Think about how wide the wall must have been. I mean, it is an impregnable fortress. If you study history, it's the oldest living thing, the oldest living fortress on the planet. The oldest one more than any other culture. Jericho has been the longest. I mean, there's still people living in it today, but it has been the longest continually lived in fortified structure. Okay, because they rebuilt it after the walls fell. Not with the same walls, but I mean, it's just been around forever. And so Jesus comes and he knows how impossible this is. And he's got a sword which represents war. And he's talking to Joshua and he's telling him the strategy of how to get this, which is the most unorthodox strategy in the world. Because he's like, you're not going to use steel. You're going to use words. Remember Moses, he hit that rock once, represent Jesus dying, being struck. And then he says, now don't touch that again. Use your words. Moses got frustrated because the people frustrated him. He started beating that rock with the stick. And that was one of the reasons he didn't go into the promised land. Because it was a symbol. God was saying, yes, he was struck. Jesus was struck. But you can't strike him again. No, he was struck. Listen. So that you'd get a revelation of your dominion with your words. Now speak to the rock, Moses. Speak to the rock and water will come out. No, I want to do it in my carnal way. I want to do it in my. What I'm comfortable with. I want to do it in my flesh. Bang, bang. The water came out, but he never entered in. God is trying to say, don't do it in your natural fleshly way. You got to speak. Even back in the Old Testament, he was trying to get them prepared for the New Testament. Because in the New Testament, this is where everything Jesus did has manifested by dominion for the church and by words. Words. So Jesus sees how impossible that fortress is. He knows how impregnable it is. He knows there's giants in there. And if you read it for sake of time, I won't. But read it. In Joshua 6, he says to Joshua, he says, I have given thee, past tense, the city and the mighty men therein. Now Joshua is thinking to himself, what do you mean you've given it to Me, we haven't even started anything yet. Now, if we'd won the war and I've got them all lined up, tied up with their hand behind their back, you know, it would make sense for you to say, I have given you, but you haven't given me anything. We haven't even started this. What was he doing? Even Jesus in the pre incarnate form was calling things that have not yet happened as though they had happened. See, that's what faith is. Faith is calling things that be not as though they already are. Because you know, even though it hasn't happened yet, you know it's going to happen. You know it's going to manifest. Because faith is the guarantee of the invisible realm. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence. Hebrews 11:1 of things not yet seen. So what is faith? It's my knowing. I got it in the invisible realm. It's my knowing. I got it in the invisible realm. I know I got it even though I can't see it. That's what faith is. I know I got it. So if I know I got it, I'm going to talk about it like I got it. That's why I call things that haven't yet manifested in the physical realm, they're still in the invisible realm, but I talk about them like they're here. Are you with me? That's why Jerry Savelle said to his kids, now don't hit the furniture. People call them a kook because there's no furniture, they're broke. He said, no, girls. Don't you see it? There's a couch here. And they're like, no, girls. This is an invisible couch. It hasn't yet shown up. But in the realm of the spirit, that couch is very real. And we are calling that couch in as though it's already here. Because as I release my faith, faith is the knowing. I got it in the invisible realm. So if I know I got it, I'm going to talk about it. And I'm going to talk about it like I already got it. So I'm going to say, girls, the couch is here. I know it's not here, but I'm saying it's here because this is where we're going to put it when the money shows up to buy it. And so Terry, I've heard her say it out of her own mouth. We would go and we would run, and one of the daughters would say to her, careful, the couch. And they would run around the couch, there's nothing there. It's an empty room. But they would run around it like it would was there. You can teach kids about faith. It's not a fairy tale. It's not weird. It's real. And don't talk about it like it's weird. Don't apologize for it. I don't tell my kids. Well, I mean, I'm really sorry. I know that your Christian school don't know nothing about faith. And I know they think I'm a crazy crackpot and they do. I'm sure a memo has gone out about me anyway. But I apologize, boys, but we really have to do this. No, no, no, no, no. I don't apologize for being who I am. I don't apologize to anybody. In fact, I tell everybody, you need to be like me. Because your problem is you don't call things that be not. You don't understand that. You've got it in the invisible realm. You're only looking at this realm. You're only looking at how you feel and what the doctor says. And that's why you stay with how you feel and what the doctor. I'm looking at what God promised, what Jesus paid for. What I've got by faith today, even though I can see. And I'm going to talk about it. And I'm just going to talk about it when I release my faith. I'm going to talk about it all the time. I'm going to. Because it bubbles. It's like fire in my bones. I got to get it out. I got to talk about it. I've got it, Jenny. I've got it. I got a buyer for that plane. I've got a buyer for that plane. I've got a buyer for that plane. I'm talking about it. I'm talking about it. We got 500. I don't see them yet, but I'm telling you, those seats in the back, they're all full. See those seats? They're all full. You say you're living in a fairy tale? No, I'm living in the spiritual realm. And that's not a fairy tale. That's real. The spiritual realm is more real than this realm. The spiritual realm is God's realm. The real me is a spirit. It lives in that realm. I keep being pulled back by my emotions and my soul and my mind and my mentality to this realm. But I'm trying to break free of it. I'm trying to stay there because that's the only realm that matters. And that's where you're going to live for eternity. You might as well get comfortable in that realm. That realm is a realm of faith. I have given you the mighty men. I call you Abraham, father of many nations. I'm telling you, you go through Old Testament scripture and you can see the spirit of faith. That's why he quoted the Old Testament when he said, for it is written, we believe, therefore we speak. Now. He says, now, meaning now in my time when Paul's writing. So now, because they did it then, made a lesser covenant, I've got a better covenant, baby. Now, how much more do I say, do I believe? And I have because I believe and I have because I say, this is the. The spirit of faith is a living thing. Mechanics of faith is wooden. But the living thing, the living reality. And Randy said, remember I said I cast out devils in Jesus name. He said, I didn't say, I will. He said, I cast out devils. And he said, it wasn't long before that first demon possessed man came. And I cast the devil out of them. He said, but my words put something in action. It put it in motion. So he said, craig, why don't you say? And he started, he helped me. I won't say what it was about, but he listed that need. And he said, now say. And he said, now say, I have this. And he listed it. And I said, okay. And I'm smiling at him, you know, I said, okay, I'll do that. And he looked at me and he goes, say it. I said, I'm eating a sugar ball right now. This is not the time to be saying this. If you haven't had Mandarin sugar balls, you don't even know what life is about yet. I have to limit myself to four because I could eat 30. But I said, I said, I will, brother, I will. And he said, craig, say it. I said, right here at the table. He said, right here at the table. I said, I have this. And I listed it. He said, say it again. He said, say it again. You were out getting something from the buffet. I don't know where you were. But we were having a time between him and I. And he was correcting me in a loving way because I was resistant even in front of him to say it. If you're resistant in front of your pastor to say it, you'll never say it at home. So in the car, we get in the car and he says, what do you say? And I said it again, I have this in Jesus. He said, no, but I don't think you believe it. I said, yes, I do. And I said it. Then when he Was getting out to go to the hotel. He said, what do you say? Ah. And I said it again. When I picked him up that night, the first thing he said before he even got in, he said, what do you say? That whole time he was with me, he had me saying that constantly. But at something, I realized I'm preaching it, but it's a mechanic to me. It's not living. It's living in him. That's why it comes out. He saw you're a good mechanical boy. You've got the wooden down path. You are in faith. But Craig, it's not coming out of you. It's not coming out of you. Say it, son. Well, I don't really want you see, you got to force yourself. Say it. Say. But as I kept doing it, the match lit the tinder. And then when he's gone, it just start coming out. Just there. It's just coming out. Lord, I thank you. I got this. Don't say, I will say I have. Present tense. Lord, I thank you. I got this. I call those things that be not yet manifest as though they are. Right now, I got this. Right now, I'm healed. I have this money. I have this sale. I have this job. I have this visa. I have this deliverance. I have this freedom. If I laid hands on you today, what you should do when you leave, I. I am free. Don't say. Don't say, I will be free. You are free. Right now, you've got it. Say, I am free. I am free. I am free. I am free. I am free. I am free. I am free. If you don't have children, start saying, I'm a mother. If you're not married, start saying, I'm a wife, I'm a husband. And add in there a good wife and a good husband. If you're broke, start saying, I'm rich. Let the weak say, this is the Bible. Find that verse for me. Let the weak say I am strong. That's in Nehemiah. I believe let the poor. Now that's Don Moen's gospel. Don Moen wrote that scripture, but it ain't in the Bible. Let the poor say I'm rich. There is no scripture. But there is a scripture that says that the weak say I am strong. And that scripture gives us the key for any other statement we want to make. Because if you're weak and you can say you're strong, you can be poor and say you're rich, you can be. You can be tormented and say you're free. You can be Homeless and say you're housed. You can be jobless and say you've got a job. You can be spouseless and say you're married. You can be childless and say your quiver is full. You can be bald and say you got hair. You can be fat and say you're thin. You can be ugly. Ugly. I mean ugly. And you can say, I am beautiful. I know you don't believe it, but there are some ugly people in our church. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I know there's no ugly people here, but in the world, there's a lot of ugly people. This one lady, Rob, she had wrinkles. I mean, wrinkles. Looks like somebody chiseled her face. Latherly old, nasty skin. She got a hold of Brother Copeland's material. I'm not telling you the truth about it. And she just started looking at her. Had her wrinkles in that mirror. She was in her 80s. And she started saying, I have a wrinkle free face. I have a wrinkle free. I know you don't believe it, but she did. She woke up one morning. To this day, I still can't understand it. God did surgery overnight. She literally woke up one morning, Dan, and all the wrinkles had disappeared. And she didn't put no Oil of Olay or whatever that potion and lotion is. She didn't put all the serums. You know, I bought my wife some serums and some potions, but she didn't put any of that. God had a divine potion, lotion, serum, all put in one. She woke up, she looked like she was 50 years old. There was a testimony in his magazine years ago, if you can, if you can. She didn't look at it and go, well, that's really impossible. She just said, I believe people with glasses. Coke bottle glasses. I see perfect. I see perfect. Now, don't take them off and drive until it manifests. But when you're around your house, no, because you got to teach people. Because. Listen to me now. Because when you're in your home and don't mind if you trip over the couch, then take off the glasses and just act in faith. I'm healed. I see perfect. And then you trip over a couple times. It's okay. Just stand up, you're okay. But just drive with them on until you. But if you keep saying, I see happy, said Pastor Joey, said pastor, you go, know how much they bless me because I'm in Nigeria. I'm there, and I Got my glasses, my brand new glasses. I put them on that trip. I hated every minute. I could see beautifully with them on. It was like, wow. I understand now why everybody wears glasses. This is amazing. And I heard the Holy Ghost say, what do you believe? He might not say that to you, but he said it to me. I said, well, I believe I'm healed. He said, well, then you can wear them if you want, but why don't you just start saying you can see? Saying you can see. This is a pretty small print. I couldn't read that for love or money. I had my glasses. I even got a special travel case for the glasses. I mean, I was ready to go. And I did it for about 10 days. I say, I see. I see. I see perfect. I see perfect. And then I got up to preach in Nigeria and I put my glasses in my hand and I thought, oh, isn't that interesting? I can see that. I put the glasses back in the case. I've never taken them out. Only took 10 days. John Lake was going blind. After all the miracles that man had. He was going blind in Oregon. And he went to walk in the lemon orchard. And he went and said, father, it would sure be a shame. Yeah, it would. Well, all the miracles I've seen that I go blind. So I thank you that I have healing. I receive healing. Now I say, I see. Before he got back to the house from the lemon orchard, his eyes were 20, 20. Took me 10 days. Took him 10 minutes. Don't worry about the time. Don't worry about how long. Might take you 10 weeks. Don't worry about the time. Faith and patience. You'll inherit the problem. Just be patient. But keep. Keep saying, say, say, say, say, say, say, say. It's got to be a living force. It's got to be a bubbling within you. Say more, say more. Jesus said you got the spirit of faith. Say Jesus called things that be not. When we're talking about saying, we're calling about the sixth C, the fifth C, sorry, Which is call those things that be not as though they are. You need to get into the habit of it. You need to get into the habit of it. You're believing to grow your business. Start to say, my business is strong. Say, what your revenue that you want, say, I have that. I have that. I have that. Hallelujah. Sometimes it will creep up on you. Can't be 12, 23, is it? Dear sweet Jesus, why didn't you tell me? I was preaching too long. Hallelujah, I'm done. I gotta quit you guys have got things to eat, praise God. But sometimes things creep up on you. Can I tell you something? I can't tell you the number because that's private. But when I went into the ministry and my dad, he's a precious man. I love him. I'm not saying anything against him, but he wanted me to be blessed. He was a multimillionaire. He was the president of the Toronto Stock Exchange for a long time. And he said to me, I'll pay you to go to Harvard, any Ivy League school you want, paid cash. I said, I can't do that. They're a bunch of devils. They're going to put religion in me. Well, where are you going to go? I'm going to go to. I would tell them the Bible school. You start to laugh. He said, that's a joke. He said, I'm not going to go to Harvard. I said, no, I can't do that. He said, you'll never have a suit, you'll never have a nice car, you'll never live in a nice house, because what you're doing, you're going to go broke. I'm giving you the answer to a good life, son. But God told me, obey me. And I was so hard. I said, lord, I said, daddy, I can't do that. He said, I'm offering you a good life. I said, yes, you are, and I appreciate it. I know your heart's right. I said, but you don't know God like I know God. And God is offering me a great life. You're offering me a good one. He's offering me a great one. He said, you'll go broke. Well, I was broke for a long time. Looked like his words were coming to pass. But I got a hold of the faith message. I got ahold of Call those things that God and the Lord spoke to me. When I looked at that number, I paused and I said, really, Lord? And he said, I told you, if you will trust me and follow my plan, I'll give you a great life. And that doesn't just mean money. That means peace. That means health. That means marriage. That means a beautiful spiritual family. That means I enjoy. I don't dread. I don't dread waking up, up in the morning, that's so precious. Just not hating getting up in the morning because you hate your job. He'll give you a job you don't hate if you just believe him. I'm not saying that in any way. I don't even really want to say that. But I'm just telling You. I've watched God's hand do supernatural things over now, 34 years of preaching, and it's taken a long time to hit certain thresholds and goals. But I'm telling you. And I haven't hit all of them yet. I'm still going, but. But some of the ones I'm starting to see manifest. Why? Why? Why? Faith. Because I'm such a great preacher. It's because of faith. If I want a certain number of preaching engagements a year, I have to lay hold in the spirit. That's part of it. But I start by speaking, Father. I have this many. I have this much money, Lord, from this avenue, this income stream, because I have more than just my salary. I'm not limited to my salary, God. God gives me witty ideas and inventions. I do stuff nobody in this congregation even knows I do. And I keep it within a balance because I have to focus on preaching. But God gave doctors six businesses. I have other streams of income that God has blessed me with. It's got nothing to do with the ministry. It's just secular stuff. But I keep it very on the lowdown and I keep very little time because I can't let it pull me away from my call or God will take it away. But even in those other streams of income, I say now, this year, I don't do it per month because it's. I just do it per year. You do it however you want. But I say this year, this stream will produce that. I have it. I call it. It's mine in Jesus name. And every year it produces that. See? But I got to learn to say it more. Not mechanically, but all the time. I'm your Randy Greer. I need to look at you and say, what do you say? What do you say? What are you saying? Speak it more. Speak it more. Three to one. Speak. Speak, Speak, believe. Speak, Speak. Speak, believe. Speak, Speak. Speak, believe. Constantly calling things that have not yet manifest, but you know they are. They're going to. But you're saying, I got it, I got it. We've got the buyer for the plane. It's already sold. Hasn't even left Canada yet. Hasn't even got to Randy's hangar. He's selling it for us. But I say it's sold. We started saying that we've got the buyer for Oasis and it sold. Now, not only do we got a buyer, but we got another person that's put a second offer on the property in case the first offer falls flat. We've got a second buyer offering us the same amount. Of money. So, baby, that thing is done. I started saying, the hanger, the hanger is sold. Not the hanger will sell. It sold, it sold. And we got it. We got it. They were building brand new hangars right beside it. For about the same amount of money, cheaper, they could have picked a brand new hanger. But I said, I don't care about none of that. I say, it's sold and it's sold. You said, I want that job. And you tithe in addition to your regular tithe on what you believed you would make. And it came to pass. Are you listening to me? I'm trying to tell you this is not just me. This is not just something that works because I'm a preacher. This works for every person that will engage it. But say more, speak more. Get yourself strike the match. Force yourself, yourself to do it. At first, just start to say, father, I thank you. Whatever it is with your children, start to say, lord, they're healed. Lord, they're whole. They're good students. They're not rebellious. Marriage issues, talk about that. Money issues, talk about that. This issue, talk about that. Just start to say, with your faith, envelope say all the time, father, I've got that $500. If you wrote 500, don't say, Lord, please give it to me. No start to say, I got it. I released my faith and I did the mechanics. Now I say all the time, it's mine. It's here, it's done. It's now. It's gone. It's done. It's done. I got it. I got it. I got it. Thank you, Lord, I got it. The devil's gonna say, you don't got it. Yes, I do. It's very real in the invisible realm. Just because I can't see it with these ears, eyes. I can see it with these eyes. I got it. I got it. I got it. Oh, baby, I got it. Remember that song? Jesus, help us. Heavenly Father, I thank you. I took way too long today. I stretched their feet, faith to the maximum. The fact that they haven't left already or thrown eggs is a miracle, Father. Lord, I thank you. You just said to me, tell them what I focused on last year with you. I told you to speak more. I told you to speak more. You got to get it bubbling, you got to get it flowing. It can't just be a religious box of mechanics. It's got to be a lifestyle. Speak more. The spirit, the living faith speaks more. Speaks more. Speak has an attitude of boldness, has an attitude of expectation. It is an attitude of demand. I've got it. I will not be denied. I will not say no. I will not back down. I will not quit. It's mine. I've got it. I got it now. Glory to God. It's mine. I'm healed. I'm blessed. I'm provided for. I'm protected. It's mine. When you start to get in that flow, the spirit of faith will get all over you. And it won't be a blind confession. It will be a living speaking. Oh, give God glory. Today I give you praise. I say that everybody I laid hands on, I say they're free. I say they're free. I say they're free. I say they're free. I say, as they leave this church, they're saying, I'm free. I'm free. Even if they feel a symptom, they say I'm free. And they'll see that thing break off them. In Jesus, mighty name, I call this budget man. I call this 40,000. And I say we've got it. I say we've got 500 hungry, hygienic warriors. I say these seats are filled. Every seat is filled. I say, I see it full. I see it full. Standing room only. In Jesus, mighty name, Lord, let him. Let them take what I preach and let them live it. It'll change their life. In Jesus name, everybody said amen and amen.
