WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.900 Brad started us last Sunday down a vein, and that thing showed up numerous times this week. Same vein. 00:06.400 --> 00:09.000 Especially Friday and Saturday night dealing with prayer. 00:10.320 --> 00:15.300 Very, very powerful. If you did not catch Friday and Saturday night and what that man had to say, 00:15.820 --> 00:17.500 please go online and check it. 00:18.940 --> 00:23.080 It was... and the thing I loved was the difference in the gifts. 00:24.800 --> 00:26.440 Man, the difference in the gifts. 00:27.180 --> 00:33.500 You know, Brad is just solid and steady and easy as she goes. 00:34.380 --> 00:37.860 Brian's much like that until the anointing comes on him. That was Monday night. 00:38.300 --> 00:39.440 And then he gets all excited. 00:43.000 --> 00:46.840 Jennifer and Amanda hold a different world. 00:48.960 --> 00:55.500 I mean, if Amanda don't get in your face, nobody's going to get in your face. 00:57.080 --> 00:59.920 Over the top, man. It was awesome. It was great. 01:01.020 --> 01:05.120 And then Vito, just solid and steady. 01:05.520 --> 01:08.980 But boy, he had some good things to say. Good things to say. 01:09.520 --> 01:13.440 And Brad's the same way. Same yesterday, day and forever. 01:15.680 --> 01:21.460 You're right in with Farmer Tom. I keep telling him that because his looks never change. 01:21.620 --> 01:23.520 He's looked like that for the last 95 years. 01:25.200 --> 01:27.260 Just the same yesterday, day and forever. 01:27.520 --> 01:30.560 I said, what are you doing, man? God is just really sustaining you. 01:33.060 --> 01:36.620 But privilege to have our pastor start it and end it. 01:37.520 --> 01:41.480 So Brad, come and give us what you feel the Lord has for us. 01:42.280 --> 01:43.160 Praise the Lord. 01:44.340 --> 01:45.300 Thank you, pastor. 01:53.670 --> 01:54.130 Hallelujah. 01:55.410 --> 01:56.770 Well, it's good to be back. 01:59.210 --> 02:02.050 We watched most everything. 02:03.210 --> 02:06.650 No offense to the worship team, but sometimes I didn't watch all of the worship. 02:09.290 --> 02:11.430 And by the way, we watched the meetings. 02:11.890 --> 02:13.850 Obviously, we couldn't be here the whole time. 02:14.090 --> 02:20.430 And now I'm really disappointed that I didn't get to see the rest of last night. 02:23.890 --> 02:25.970 But I will look. I will look. 02:29.830 --> 02:35.170 All right, well, I want to pray this morning. 02:35.970 --> 02:38.450 Last time I was here, I kind of just got into talking. 02:39.690 --> 02:42.010 But I want us to get in agreement this morning. 02:42.330 --> 02:45.790 And let's really just trust God for understanding revelation. 02:47.250 --> 02:49.690 The Spirit is the one that's the great teacher. 02:50.530 --> 02:54.810 And we want to receive spiritual understanding and revelation. 02:57.130 --> 03:01.670 Supernatural revelation of the Word of God and God's plans and so forth. 03:01.830 --> 03:03.330 So let's set our self in agreement with that. 03:03.850 --> 03:07.010 Father, I thank you for the opportunity to be here. 03:07.090 --> 03:12.290 And I thank you for each one that's within the sound of my voice. 03:13.230 --> 03:18.270 And Lord, I trust that you'll minister on to us by your spirit. 03:20.130 --> 03:24.410 That you'll make known to us the mysteries of the kingdom. 03:25.570 --> 03:29.870 That we'll gain understanding and revelation concerning the Word of God. 03:30.970 --> 03:38.510 And so that, Lord, we can be fully equipped to fulfill all that you have for us to do in this last day. 03:40.090 --> 03:41.530 And so I trust you, Lord. 03:42.450 --> 03:46.230 I trust that you would even use me as a vessel to speak on to these. 03:47.170 --> 03:49.870 And as always, I give you all the glory and the honor. 03:49.870 --> 03:54.150 Amen. In Jesus' name. Amen. 03:56.730 --> 03:56.910 Amen. 03:58.930 --> 04:09.710 And it was interesting that Pastor Verne had sent me this text before just leading up to the meetings. 04:10.890 --> 04:17.510 And he made some comment. I don't have the text in front of me right now, but some comment about the Laodicean church. 04:17.510 --> 04:22.890 And then, you know, what does a church in America need today and so forth and so on. 04:23.130 --> 04:31.590 And when I read that text, to me it was very interesting because it just like instantly a couple of things came to me. 04:34.870 --> 04:39.110 Now, originally when I told Pastor Verne, because when I was here last Sunday and we talked about prayer, 04:39.230 --> 04:41.210 I said, well, just instantly I got this thing about prayer. 04:41.250 --> 04:46.170 But what I did tell him was that there was two things that came to me. 04:49.010 --> 04:58.330 And it came like this. Now, again, you kind of need to understand me because I've been walking with the Lord for a long time, 04:58.450 --> 05:07.250 but I've never had Jesus appear to me. I haven't really, you know, had voices like way out here, 05:07.590 --> 05:10.210 like God speaking, you know, thunder, lightning, things like that. 05:11.110 --> 05:17.010 Now, I believe there was a reason for that because the Lord told me when I was very young in my walk with him 05:17.010 --> 05:22.630 and I was a student at a Bible school and the Lord very, I mean, in a very strong way, 05:22.710 --> 05:28.910 he told me, he says, the primary way that I will lead you in your ministry is by the inward witness. 05:31.970 --> 05:34.730 And so I've just relied on that through the years. 05:35.190 --> 05:39.670 And so a lot of times I say, well, you know, God said, well, now I didn't really hear anything. 05:39.670 --> 05:48.270 But it's so real that, yes, he did say that, that it's just this inward witness that's so strong. 05:49.450 --> 05:55.010 And so when I read that text there that Pastor Vernon sent to me, that was it. 05:55.110 --> 06:02.030 It was like, okay, God said, I know this is what we need. 06:03.250 --> 06:04.770 And he said, there was two things. 06:07.570 --> 06:15.610 Now, the first is what I shared on when I was here last Sunday, and that was prayer. 06:20.290 --> 06:27.090 If the church is going to fulfill what God has for us in this day and hour, 06:27.770 --> 06:30.950 and we are the church that's responsible for this time, 06:30.950 --> 06:33.930 because we're the ones that are alive now. 06:35.590 --> 06:37.230 I like to read about others. 06:37.490 --> 06:41.230 I like to read about great men and women of God that have lived in times past 06:41.230 --> 06:43.830 and see the things that happened back in their day. 06:44.310 --> 06:45.470 But that was their time. 06:46.610 --> 06:47.750 This is our time. 06:49.830 --> 06:55.450 And so now we do have the responsibility to fulfill what God's got for us to do in this day, in this hour, 06:55.910 --> 06:57.990 because we are the church that's alive today. 06:58.550 --> 07:01.890 And I really think it's a great honor to be the church during this time. 07:02.610 --> 07:03.410 I really do. 07:04.390 --> 07:12.150 And I have kind of, you know, somewhat jokingly said that just maybe when we all get together in heaven, 07:12.550 --> 07:19.330 there might be some guys like Paul and Peter and some of these that want to come up and talk to us 07:19.330 --> 07:22.690 and say, what was it like to be alive during that time? 07:24.450 --> 07:31.730 And I hope we have a better response than, well, I was kind of depressed and discouraged. 07:33.130 --> 07:36.530 I hope we have a better response than that, amen? 07:37.410 --> 07:39.290 Because this is a good time to be alive. 07:40.390 --> 07:41.310 It really is. 07:41.830 --> 07:44.870 So anyway, two things that the Lord said. 07:44.870 --> 07:54.730 And one is, is that the church must learn how to press into that deeper realm of prayer 07:55.390 --> 07:57.910 where the Holy Spirit takes hold together with us. 07:58.590 --> 08:04.130 It's going to take that kind of praying if we're going to be able to accomplish 08:04.130 --> 08:07.550 what we need to accomplish in this day and hour. 08:08.530 --> 08:08.810 Amen. 08:14.480 --> 08:16.360 But the other thing that he told me was this. 08:17.040 --> 08:19.020 He said it's going to take these two things. 08:20.700 --> 08:26.360 It's not only going to take people learning how to work with God in that deeper realm of prayer, 08:26.760 --> 08:29.700 but he said it's also going to take the corporate anointing. 08:31.360 --> 08:37.660 Now, if you look at history, because there's been revivals that have taken place, 08:37.920 --> 08:41.760 great revivals in which many people came into the kingdom of God, 08:41.760 --> 08:46.540 great miracles took place, healings, amazing things have happened. 08:47.140 --> 08:51.660 But you can look at all those revivals that have taken place in history, 08:52.100 --> 08:55.040 and you will see those two things working there. 08:56.260 --> 08:57.220 They stand out. 08:58.300 --> 09:05.760 There was great times of prayer leading up to and during the times of those revivals. 09:06.140 --> 09:09.400 And there was great corporate anointing. 09:13.340 --> 09:21.260 Because the corporate anointing is much, much stronger than an individual anointing. 09:22.440 --> 09:28.780 Now, we all can be anointed to do something, and we all have these individual anointings, 09:28.860 --> 09:32.180 but the corporate anointing is much stronger than that. 09:33.140 --> 09:35.400 And that's what's needed in this day and hour. 09:38.220 --> 09:45.080 Now, to be honest, this is where it gets a little, for lack of a better word, 09:45.480 --> 09:49.820 it gets a little tricky with this corporate anointing. 09:50.920 --> 09:58.040 Because there's a lot of factors that come into play if we're going to have the corporate anointing. 09:58.080 --> 10:01.600 Because a lot of times what we do is we think, 10:01.600 --> 10:04.940 okay, corporate anointing, well, we're all going to come together, 10:05.100 --> 10:09.020 and we're going to make sure that we all like one another, so we're not in strife. 10:09.840 --> 10:11.240 And then we're going to worship God. 10:12.280 --> 10:16.020 And we worship, we all come together, we're nice to one another, and we worship God. 10:17.440 --> 10:19.240 And we're going to have the corporate anointing. 10:19.300 --> 10:22.360 Now, there's nothing wrong with being nice to one another, we should be. 10:22.920 --> 10:25.040 And there's nothing wrong with coming together and worshiping. 10:26.160 --> 10:33.020 But that's not all there is to having the kind of corporate anointing that I'm talking about this morning, 10:33.980 --> 10:36.440 where it impacts the world. 10:38.160 --> 10:39.400 There's more to it than that. 10:40.420 --> 10:46.340 And so it does get a little, a little, I guess, again, for lack of a better word, 10:46.500 --> 10:47.420 it kind of gets a little tricky. 10:48.940 --> 10:51.860 But that's the only way that we're going to really have 10:53.060 --> 10:55.980 the genuine move of God 10:56.900 --> 10:58.300 in this day and hour. 11:00.180 --> 11:03.280 And so I want to look at some Old Testament Scriptures 11:05.200 --> 11:08.680 and I want to point out some things to you 11:08.680 --> 11:13.820 and keeping this thought in mind about the corporate anointing. 11:14.740 --> 11:18.760 And so I'm going to go over to Numbers Chapter 20. 11:18.760 --> 11:21.760 And we're going to look at some examples here 11:25.200 --> 11:28.840 because it's going to be through this persistent prayer 11:30.500 --> 11:32.780 and doing what's necessary 11:33.680 --> 11:35.620 so we can have the corporate anointing. 11:37.200 --> 11:39.560 That's what's going to produce this genuine move of God. 11:40.760 --> 11:43.700 Now, we have an example here of the children of Israel 11:43.700 --> 11:48.360 and it's probably one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. 11:49.060 --> 11:51.380 But we have an example here of the children of Israel. 11:51.480 --> 11:54.600 We all know the story how God had spoke to Moses 11:54.600 --> 11:58.240 and he was to lead the people out of that place of bondage in Egypt 11:58.240 --> 12:02.180 and then lead them into what was called the promised land, 12:02.340 --> 12:04.700 that land that flowed with milk and honey and so forth. 12:05.140 --> 12:05.840 The promised land. 12:06.020 --> 12:10.740 Well, we do have to realize, if I can say it this way, 12:11.760 --> 12:15.980 that there is a, you could say, spiritual promised land 12:16.720 --> 12:18.180 that we need to enter into. 12:20.420 --> 12:23.760 Now, in this case, of course, with them it was a natural land 12:23.760 --> 12:26.480 but there is such a thing as a spiritual promised land. 12:26.620 --> 12:28.880 In other words, something that God has promised to us. 12:28.980 --> 12:30.740 You can have this. This is my plan. 12:31.300 --> 12:35.360 This is my will for your life and for your church, your nation 12:35.360 --> 12:36.540 and so forth and so on. 12:36.860 --> 12:40.020 And so it's a promised land. It's something that we can walk into. 12:41.600 --> 12:43.260 Alright? So, let's look at this. 12:43.980 --> 12:46.520 This is in Romans, or excuse me, yeah, Romans. 12:46.980 --> 12:49.600 Numbers 20. Numbers 20 verse 2. 12:49.820 --> 12:51.740 Let's begin there. Numbers 20 verse 2. 12:52.840 --> 12:55.680 It says, now there was no water for the congregation 12:56.280 --> 13:00.260 so they gathered together against Moses and Aaron. 13:01.280 --> 13:04.260 Alright, we're going to point some things out as we go along here. 13:05.060 --> 13:07.500 And I hope you'll still love me when it's all over. 13:10.440 --> 13:18.020 And Moses and Aaron were called, appointed, anointed 13:19.200 --> 13:22.060 to leave the children of Israel into this promised land. 13:24.300 --> 13:26.500 And so we, like I said, we kind of know the story. 13:26.640 --> 13:28.260 We get to this place where now they're out of place 13:28.260 --> 13:29.880 where it says there's no water. 13:31.280 --> 13:34.620 And so the people start to gather. 13:34.620 --> 13:38.040 And here it says together against their leadership. 13:40.760 --> 13:41.360 Huh? 13:43.240 --> 13:44.180 Verse 3. 13:45.820 --> 13:49.600 And the people contended with Moses and spoke saying, 13:50.320 --> 13:53.600 if only we had died when our brethren died before the Lord. 13:54.640 --> 13:57.000 Why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord 13:57.000 --> 14:01.380 into this wilderness that we and our animals should die here? 14:02.120 --> 14:04.600 And why have you made us come up out of Egypt 14:04.600 --> 14:06.800 to bring us to this evil place? 14:07.660 --> 14:08.780 That's kind of interesting. 14:10.140 --> 14:12.500 Why have you brought us to this evil place? 14:14.220 --> 14:15.380 Is it not a place? 14:15.920 --> 14:19.520 It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates. 14:19.820 --> 14:22.980 Nor is there any water to drink. 14:24.720 --> 14:24.940 Alright. 14:26.580 --> 14:29.380 God places leaders. 14:30.880 --> 14:32.780 He works through order. 14:37.140 --> 14:43.200 He's still placing leaders today to lead His people. 14:44.600 --> 14:49.380 Now, God had placed Moses and Aaron too 14:49.900 --> 14:51.480 to be in this place of leadership 14:51.480 --> 14:55.240 and they led the people so far in some very miraculous things 14:55.240 --> 14:56.260 that are already taking place 14:56.900 --> 14:59.120 to get to the place where they are right now. 15:00.060 --> 15:02.760 But yet they were not seeing the fulfillment 15:03.500 --> 15:06.320 of everything that they thought they should have. 15:08.540 --> 15:11.480 And so when they didn't see everything immediately, 15:12.300 --> 15:13.480 their response is, 15:13.660 --> 15:16.540 why did you as a leader take us to this evil place? 15:19.000 --> 15:19.280 Yeah. 15:26.350 --> 15:28.050 In other words, it would have been comfortable 15:28.050 --> 15:29.630 just for us to stay where we were. 15:35.590 --> 15:38.490 See, and God could put something in a leader's heart today. 15:39.210 --> 15:41.270 For instance, build a building. 15:42.010 --> 15:42.230 Yep. 15:46.330 --> 15:49.650 And so we're excited we start out. 15:49.830 --> 15:50.750 Things are going well. 15:51.110 --> 15:54.170 But then things don't always go as good 15:54.170 --> 15:55.890 as you think they should go. 15:57.410 --> 15:58.930 Now you've got to guard against 15:59.550 --> 16:01.730 when you're at that place that you don't say, 16:01.730 --> 16:04.770 why did you lead us faster to this evil place? 16:11.280 --> 16:12.160 All right. 16:16.060 --> 16:19.680 So they're starting to come against Moses and Aaron. 16:20.200 --> 16:20.720 Verse 6. 16:21.680 --> 16:24.540 So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly 16:24.540 --> 16:26.280 to the door of the tabernacle of meeting 16:26.860 --> 16:28.020 and they fell on their faces. 16:28.940 --> 16:30.720 And so the leaders begin to seek the Lord. 16:31.720 --> 16:32.080 It says, 16:32.160 --> 16:33.640 in the glory of the Lord appeared to them. 16:34.240 --> 16:36.160 Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying, 16:36.360 --> 16:37.060 take the rod. 16:37.740 --> 16:40.960 You and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. 16:41.220 --> 16:43.940 Speak to the rock before their eyes 16:43.940 --> 16:45.640 and it will yield its water. 16:46.520 --> 16:49.480 Thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock 16:49.480 --> 16:52.600 and give drink to the congregation and to their animals. 16:53.480 --> 16:55.980 So Moses took the rod from before the Lord 16:55.980 --> 16:57.120 as he commanded him. 16:57.820 --> 16:58.540 Verse 10. 16:58.920 --> 17:01.600 And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together 17:01.600 --> 17:02.840 before the rock 17:04.080 --> 17:05.760 and he said to them, 17:06.020 --> 17:07.160 hear now you rebels. 17:08.220 --> 17:09.200 I like that. 17:10.920 --> 17:12.760 He says, hear now you rebels. 17:13.820 --> 17:16.480 Must we bring water for you out of this rock? 17:17.700 --> 17:19.660 Then Moses lifted his hand 17:19.660 --> 17:22.300 and struck the rock twice with his rod. 17:23.240 --> 17:25.300 And water came out abundantly 17:25.300 --> 17:28.040 and the congregation and the animals drank. 17:28.040 --> 17:30.840 But then look at this in verse 12. 17:32.380 --> 17:34.420 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. 17:36.460 --> 17:38.400 Because you did not believe me 17:39.060 --> 17:40.680 to hallow me 17:40.680 --> 17:43.340 in the eyes of the children of Israel. 17:44.140 --> 17:45.820 Therefore you shall not 17:46.560 --> 17:48.780 bring this assembly into the land 17:48.780 --> 17:50.400 which I've given them. 17:52.080 --> 17:53.520 Now that's kind of interesting. 17:55.960 --> 17:58.180 Because this was just one instance. 18:01.260 --> 18:01.860 One mistake. 18:08.760 --> 18:11.340 See, I certainly agree 18:12.500 --> 18:15.080 that God is His love 18:15.080 --> 18:17.980 and He loves us no matter what. 18:20.160 --> 18:22.960 I mean, I could be totally rebellious 18:22.960 --> 18:24.360 and God's still going to love me. 18:26.540 --> 18:29.260 But what we have to realize is that 18:29.260 --> 18:32.320 His love is like a good father. 18:34.740 --> 18:36.880 That He will love us no matter what. 18:37.260 --> 18:40.800 But He also will correct us, 18:41.540 --> 18:42.400 discipline us. 18:43.580 --> 18:45.640 The Bible says it's a fearful thing 18:45.640 --> 18:47.400 to fall into the hands of the living God. 18:49.140 --> 18:51.260 There is still this sight of God 18:51.260 --> 18:53.580 that we see under the Old Testament. 18:54.340 --> 18:55.460 He's not changed. 18:56.860 --> 18:58.900 Now thank God for the blood of Jesus 18:58.900 --> 19:00.500 and what Jesus did for us 19:00.500 --> 19:02.360 that we now have this grace, 19:02.460 --> 19:04.100 but God has not changed. 19:12.440 --> 19:14.020 And so He says, 19:14.180 --> 19:17.200 because you did not believe me to hallow me, 19:18.000 --> 19:19.300 He says, then you're not going to bring 19:19.300 --> 19:20.680 this assembly into the land. 19:22.900 --> 19:25.040 So there's two things that He mentions here. 19:25.460 --> 19:26.660 It says, first you didn't believe me. 19:30.370 --> 19:32.370 It's important that leaders, 19:32.610 --> 19:33.930 and we'll see as we go along here, 19:34.070 --> 19:36.330 but it's important that leaders 19:36.330 --> 19:38.130 believe what God has said. 19:41.920 --> 19:43.380 And then second, He says, 19:44.160 --> 19:45.200 you didn't hallow me. 19:46.280 --> 19:47.940 In other words, that where it says 19:47.940 --> 19:49.500 you didn't hallow me, it really means 19:49.500 --> 19:51.500 you didn't treat it as holy. 19:54.400 --> 19:55.700 You did not honor me. 19:55.740 --> 19:57.180 You didn't treat me as sacred 19:57.180 --> 19:59.040 in the eyes of the congregation. 20:05.070 --> 20:06.430 Leaders must 20:08.190 --> 20:10.510 believe the direction of the Lord, 20:12.130 --> 20:14.350 and then those that they lead 20:15.870 --> 20:18.010 must see that the leading 20:18.010 --> 20:20.570 of the Holy Spirit is treated as sacred. 20:31.650 --> 20:33.890 In other words, it isn't just about 20:36.790 --> 20:38.890 someone leading a congregation 20:38.890 --> 20:41.650 or a ministry, whatever you might look at. 20:42.070 --> 20:43.630 It isn't just about them saying, 20:43.810 --> 20:47.990 well, you know, we're doing our best 20:47.990 --> 20:49.210 to get people saved, 20:49.550 --> 20:51.370 and we want to preach the gospel 20:51.370 --> 20:53.410 and lay hands on the sick and so forth and so forth. 20:53.670 --> 20:55.930 No, what it's about is, what has God said? 20:57.190 --> 21:00.130 And are you as a leader going to treat that as sacred? 21:01.190 --> 21:03.870 So that the people that would follow you 21:03.870 --> 21:07.170 that you're endeavoring to lead that they can actually see 21:07.170 --> 21:10.030 that when you have this direction from God 21:10.030 --> 21:12.010 that it is something sacred. 21:12.750 --> 21:15.270 And God took that very serious. 21:17.890 --> 21:20.330 Because he failed to do that in this case. 21:20.550 --> 21:22.030 Moses and Aaron, actually both of them. 21:22.510 --> 21:24.490 When they failed to do that, 21:25.130 --> 21:27.650 then God said, sorry, 21:29.370 --> 21:31.110 you didn't treat what I said sacred. 21:32.870 --> 21:34.590 And you're not going to lead these people in. 21:37.610 --> 21:38.210 Interesting. 21:41.490 --> 21:42.070 See, 21:45.630 --> 21:46.830 their disobedience 21:47.650 --> 21:51.510 stopped them from being able to lead them into that promised land. 21:52.470 --> 21:55.110 Did not matter how anointed they were 21:55.950 --> 21:57.990 or what position they held. 21:59.030 --> 22:01.730 I mean Aaron, he was the high priest of Israel. 22:03.010 --> 22:05.830 And Moses was the prophet and leader of all of Israel. 22:07.010 --> 22:08.970 But they would have to die 22:10.550 --> 22:13.350 before the children of Israel could go into the promised land. 22:14.650 --> 22:15.930 Because they disobeyed. 22:16.770 --> 22:19.730 And they didn't treat what God said as being sacred. 22:21.370 --> 22:21.670 Okay? 22:22.890 --> 22:24.470 All right, hang with me. 22:26.630 --> 22:28.110 So, we're going someplace. 22:30.070 --> 22:32.530 So, Romans, excuse me, why do I keep saying Romans? 22:32.710 --> 22:33.130 Numbers. 22:34.570 --> 22:35.370 Numbers again. 22:36.430 --> 22:37.370 Chapter 20. 22:38.430 --> 22:40.930 But now jumping over to verse 22. 22:42.970 --> 22:43.730 Verse 22. 22:46.270 --> 22:47.610 Numbers 20, verse 22. 22:47.730 --> 22:48.890 It says, now the children of Israel, 22:48.970 --> 22:49.670 the whole congregation, 22:49.990 --> 22:52.790 journeying from Kedish and came to Mount Hor. 22:52.790 --> 22:55.530 Now, I'm not real good at pronouncing all these names. 22:56.010 --> 22:58.410 I should really get together with some of my Jewish friends 22:58.410 --> 23:00.310 and they can tell me how to pronounce these things right. 23:00.490 --> 23:02.090 But I'm not very good at it. 23:02.090 --> 23:03.910 But anyway, so I drew the best I can. 23:04.590 --> 23:05.650 But anyway, verse 23. 23:05.770 --> 23:05.970 It says, 23:10.970 --> 23:13.010 Aaron shall be gathered to his people. 23:13.450 --> 23:14.910 In other words, Aaron's going to die. 23:16.810 --> 23:18.570 Aaron shall be gathered to his people, 23:19.210 --> 23:20.790 for he shall not enter the land 23:20.790 --> 23:22.610 which I've given to the children of Israel. 23:23.450 --> 23:25.830 Because you rebelled against my word 23:25.830 --> 23:28.970 at the water of whatever that word is. 23:30.930 --> 23:32.630 So he says in verse 25. 23:33.610 --> 23:37.050 Take Aaron and Eleazar, his son, 23:37.970 --> 23:39.710 and bring them up to Mount Hor 23:39.710 --> 23:42.050 and strip Aaron of his garments. 23:43.430 --> 23:45.490 And put them on Eleazar, his son, 23:45.870 --> 23:48.830 for Aaron shall be gathered to his people 23:48.830 --> 23:49.950 and die there. 23:51.550 --> 23:54.470 So Moses did just as the Lord commanded. 23:55.450 --> 23:57.090 And they went up to Mount Hor 23:57.090 --> 23:58.590 in the sight of all the congregation. 23:59.310 --> 24:01.010 Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, 24:01.570 --> 24:03.190 put them on Eleazar, his son, 24:03.610 --> 24:05.870 and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. 24:07.530 --> 24:10.270 Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. 24:10.770 --> 24:12.190 Now when all the congregation 24:12.190 --> 24:13.370 saw that Aaron was dead, 24:13.570 --> 24:15.270 all the house of Israel mourned 24:15.270 --> 24:17.730 for Aaron 30 days. 24:20.290 --> 24:23.290 Now I read that because I want you to see 24:23.290 --> 24:25.090 how serious God takes things. 24:27.350 --> 24:30.610 When He appoints people 24:30.610 --> 24:32.310 into leadership positions 24:33.210 --> 24:35.990 and then gives them direction. 24:36.790 --> 24:38.850 We sometimes, we use this word vision. 24:39.990 --> 24:41.290 He gives them a vision. 24:41.770 --> 24:43.130 This is what I want you to do, 24:43.270 --> 24:44.210 so forth and so on. 24:44.210 --> 24:46.610 When He does that, it's a very holy, 24:46.730 --> 24:47.830 it's a very sacred thing. 24:47.910 --> 24:49.270 He takes it very seriously. 24:55.470 --> 24:57.790 And when Aaron and Moses 24:58.670 --> 25:00.030 did not do 25:01.650 --> 25:04.350 exactly what the Lord told them to do, 25:04.630 --> 25:05.390 it cost him. 25:07.210 --> 25:07.770 Big time. 25:11.780 --> 25:14.560 Aaron lost his position as the high priest. 25:14.680 --> 25:17.080 He lost his anointing and he lost his life. 25:20.400 --> 25:23.120 And later we know that Moses experiences 25:23.120 --> 25:24.860 a similar thing. 25:27.080 --> 25:29.260 And so let's read this out of Deuteronomy. 25:30.200 --> 25:31.140 It's hanging with me. 25:31.460 --> 25:33.760 It may sound like I'm just talking to leaders 25:33.760 --> 25:35.080 at this point, but we're heading someplace. 25:36.080 --> 25:38.060 And it all has to do with the corporate anointing. 25:40.860 --> 25:41.740 Deuteronomy 32, 25:43.240 --> 25:45.280 and I'll pick it up here in verse 48. 25:47.300 --> 25:48.960 Deuteronomy 32 verse 48. 25:51.180 --> 25:51.880 It says, 25:52.020 --> 25:54.700 Then the Lord spoke to Moses the very same day, saying, 25:55.480 --> 25:56.840 Go up to this mountain, 25:57.680 --> 26:00.180 Mount Nebo, which is the land of Moab, 26:00.660 --> 26:01.840 across from Jericho, 26:02.360 --> 26:03.840 and view the land of Canaan, 26:04.600 --> 26:07.260 which I give to the children of Israel 26:07.260 --> 26:08.400 as a possession, 26:09.300 --> 26:12.840 and die on that mountain which you ascend. 26:13.820 --> 26:15.340 And be gathered to your people, 26:15.620 --> 26:17.360 just as Aaron your brother died 26:17.360 --> 26:19.960 on Mount Horan was gathered to his people, 26:20.040 --> 26:23.480 because you trespassed against me 26:23.480 --> 26:27.480 among the children of Israel. 26:29.260 --> 26:29.820 Wow. 26:31.040 --> 26:33.240 He takes these things pretty serious. 26:36.020 --> 26:38.280 I even think it's interesting. 26:38.680 --> 26:40.040 Just a little side thought. 26:40.900 --> 26:44.140 But God actually showed Moses the land. 26:45.580 --> 26:46.780 And said, There it is. 26:47.280 --> 26:48.760 But you don't get to go in there. 26:57.400 --> 26:59.000 He takes these things pretty serious. 27:06.300 --> 27:08.100 And unless we start as the church, 27:09.240 --> 27:10.580 and I can't speak for the whole world, 27:11.920 --> 27:13.760 but I can speak for the church in America. 27:15.260 --> 27:16.900 If we don't ask the church in America 27:16.900 --> 27:18.660 to start taking things more seriously, 27:19.280 --> 27:20.780 as far as the plans of God, 27:21.220 --> 27:23.880 we're not going to enter into that spiritual promise land. 27:30.340 --> 27:32.320 So he deals very harshly with Moses, 27:33.820 --> 27:34.680 and with Aaron. 27:37.980 --> 27:40.500 And we jump on down to verse 52 there, 27:41.300 --> 27:41.920 of Deuteronomy. 27:42.060 --> 27:44.080 It says, Yet you shall see the land before you, 27:44.100 --> 27:45.580 though you shall not go there, 27:46.560 --> 27:48.260 into the land which I am giving 27:48.260 --> 27:49.420 to the children of Israel. 27:51.100 --> 27:53.860 And then let's go to Deuteronomy 34. 27:54.000 --> 27:54.940 Let's throw this one in there. 27:55.080 --> 27:55.900 Deuteronomy 34. 27:57.160 --> 27:58.880 And pick it up here in verse 5. 27:59.860 --> 28:01.420 Deuteronomy 34 verse 5. 28:02.620 --> 28:03.600 Then the Lord said to him, 28:04.520 --> 28:06.900 This is the land of which I swore to give 28:06.900 --> 28:08.560 Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 28:09.060 --> 28:10.100 I'll give it to your descendants. 28:11.200 --> 28:12.940 I've caused you to see it with your eyes, 28:13.660 --> 28:15.920 but you shall not cross over there. 28:16.940 --> 28:18.660 So Moses, the servant of the Lord, 28:18.980 --> 28:21.300 died in the land of Moab, 28:21.300 --> 28:24.260 according to the word of the Lord. 28:26.600 --> 28:28.040 Now, I believe there's principles 28:28.040 --> 28:30.800 that are set forth in these scriptures 28:32.760 --> 28:34.420 that are applicable today. 28:36.000 --> 28:37.640 Now, one of the reasons I believe that 28:37.640 --> 28:39.320 is right here, because I want to read this to you. 28:40.240 --> 28:42.000 And coming on over to the New Testament, 28:42.340 --> 28:44.220 1 Corinthians chapter 10. 28:45.020 --> 28:46.820 And let's notice something that it says. 28:47.740 --> 28:49.600 And 1 Corinthians chapter 10. 28:50.960 --> 28:52.940 And you pick it up here in verse 1. 28:52.940 --> 28:55.820 1 Corinthians 10 verse 1. 28:57.980 --> 28:58.420 He says, 28:58.640 --> 28:59.400 Moreover brethren, 29:00.460 --> 29:01.840 I do not want you to be unaware 29:01.840 --> 29:04.340 that all our fathers were under the cloud, 29:04.840 --> 29:06.380 all passed through the sea, 29:06.780 --> 29:09.100 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud 29:09.100 --> 29:10.020 and in the sea, 29:10.280 --> 29:12.060 and all ate the same spiritual food 29:12.060 --> 29:13.960 and all drank the same spiritual drink. 29:14.360 --> 29:16.140 For they drank of that spiritual rock 29:16.140 --> 29:16.900 that followed them, 29:17.040 --> 29:18.200 and that rock was Christ. 29:18.700 --> 29:19.740 But with most of them, 29:19.740 --> 29:22.000 God was not well pleased, 29:22.960 --> 29:25.380 for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. 29:27.760 --> 29:30.560 Now these things became our examples 29:32.080 --> 29:34.060 to the intent that we should not 29:34.060 --> 29:35.820 lust after evil things 29:35.820 --> 29:37.160 as they also lusted, 29:38.200 --> 29:40.220 and do not become idolaters 29:40.220 --> 29:41.640 as were some of them, 29:42.740 --> 29:43.920 as it is written that people 29:43.920 --> 29:45.180 sat down to eat and drink 29:45.180 --> 29:46.240 and rose up to play, 29:47.180 --> 29:49.440 nor let us commit sexual immorality 29:49.440 --> 29:50.500 as some of them did, 29:52.100 --> 29:54.560 and in one day 23,000 fell, 29:56.080 --> 29:57.420 nor let us tempt Christ 29:57.420 --> 29:58.840 as some of them also tempted, 29:59.160 --> 30:00.620 and were destroyed by the serpents, 30:01.640 --> 30:05.200 nor complain as some of them also complained, 30:05.940 --> 30:08.740 and were destroyed by the destroyer. 30:09.560 --> 30:11.620 Now all these things happened to them 30:11.620 --> 30:12.640 as examples, 30:13.420 --> 30:15.440 and they were written for our 30:15.440 --> 30:17.860 admonition, catch this, 30:19.280 --> 30:21.400 upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 30:25.100 --> 30:27.920 So the things that happened to them, 30:30.280 --> 30:33.360 they were written, recorded, you could say, 30:33.980 --> 30:34.900 for our admonition. 30:35.860 --> 30:39.120 For us, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 30:43.040 --> 30:46.120 We need to walk this way in the end times. 30:47.640 --> 30:49.960 We need to walk this way where we have 30:49.960 --> 30:51.440 this sacred 30:53.240 --> 30:53.720 honor 30:54.940 --> 30:56.600 of what God has said to do. 31:06.200 --> 31:09.100 Now we know, of course, and I talk mostly about Aaron 31:09.100 --> 31:10.860 and Moses, 31:11.660 --> 31:13.380 but the people also 31:14.720 --> 31:16.800 had something to do with the fact 31:16.800 --> 31:18.660 that they never got to enter in either. 31:19.480 --> 31:21.740 You do realize that it was, you could say, 31:21.860 --> 31:23.400 the next generation that went in. 31:24.920 --> 31:26.880 I kind of like to say, well, it was their kids. 31:29.560 --> 31:31.600 That really got to go into the Promised Land. 31:31.800 --> 31:33.540 I mean, they wandered there for 40 years. 31:34.840 --> 31:36.160 So a lot of things had happened. 31:37.700 --> 31:40.020 Now, thank God for Joshua and Caleb, 31:41.120 --> 31:42.840 because remember they had the good report, 31:43.920 --> 31:45.460 they did get to enter in. 31:47.160 --> 31:48.200 But the leaders 31:49.080 --> 31:50.160 and the people 31:51.180 --> 31:52.260 never entered in. 31:52.260 --> 31:57.080 And so they had to have been doing something wrong. 31:59.820 --> 32:00.300 Right? 32:01.640 --> 32:03.140 Because that was never God's plan. 32:03.640 --> 32:05.900 It was not God's plan for Aaron and Moses 32:05.900 --> 32:07.120 to have to die out there. 32:08.360 --> 32:11.000 The plan was, he had raised up Moses 32:11.000 --> 32:12.940 to lead them into the Promised Land. 32:13.000 --> 32:13.820 That was the plan. 32:16.180 --> 32:17.460 And it was never the plan 32:17.460 --> 32:19.460 for all those people to die in the wilderness 32:19.460 --> 32:21.440 and never get to go into the Promised Land. 32:22.380 --> 32:23.860 That was not the plan. 32:24.560 --> 32:26.460 But something must have went wrong. 32:27.720 --> 32:28.000 Huh? 32:29.360 --> 32:30.060 And it did. 32:31.380 --> 32:33.400 And it's recorded for us 32:34.080 --> 32:35.600 for our admonition 32:36.320 --> 32:38.560 and especially you can say for us 32:38.560 --> 32:40.400 on whom the ends of the ages have come. 32:42.580 --> 32:44.580 That we're going to have to walk this way 32:44.580 --> 32:46.060 in this day, in this hour. 32:46.720 --> 32:48.260 If we want to see 32:51.860 --> 32:53.280 what God desires to do 32:53.280 --> 32:54.780 in this last day. 32:59.490 --> 33:00.930 Because he lists a whole bunch of things 33:00.930 --> 33:01.650 what the people did. 33:02.230 --> 33:04.350 And it's not my intent to preach about all that, 33:04.510 --> 33:07.230 but he talks about how they lusted 33:07.230 --> 33:09.210 and they were idolaters. 33:10.590 --> 33:12.250 And it's interesting that when he says 33:12.250 --> 33:14.130 that they had become idolaters 33:14.130 --> 33:15.950 he talks about how they sat down to eat 33:15.950 --> 33:17.150 and drink and rose up to play. 33:18.290 --> 33:19.830 So it wasn't just that they were making 33:19.830 --> 33:21.890 a bunch of idols, you know, and worshiping the idols. 33:23.350 --> 33:24.990 Obviously they were worse than me 33:24.990 --> 33:26.990 in just everyday life things. 33:29.590 --> 33:30.990 And he talked about how 33:31.740 --> 33:32.950 the sexual morality 33:33.910 --> 33:35.450 and tempting the Lord 33:35.450 --> 33:37.130 and complaining. 33:43.260 --> 33:45.200 So they certainly had a part to play in it, 33:45.240 --> 33:45.680 no question. 33:47.180 --> 33:48.820 The leaders had a part to play. 33:49.500 --> 33:50.920 The leaders had to be willing 33:50.920 --> 33:52.420 to follow God precisely. 33:54.180 --> 33:56.120 They had to treat what God said, 33:56.280 --> 33:58.120 the plan of God, the vision of God. 33:58.540 --> 34:00.840 They had to treat it as something that was sacred. 34:02.180 --> 34:03.620 And they needed to make sure 34:03.620 --> 34:05.440 that the people that were following them, 34:05.500 --> 34:06.540 that they were endeavoring to lead, 34:07.000 --> 34:09.640 saw that the leaders were treating it as sacred. 34:11.560 --> 34:13.200 But then the people themselves 34:14.880 --> 34:16.540 had to be willing to believe 34:17.520 --> 34:19.140 in what God had said. 34:22.160 --> 34:24.640 They couldn't just choose to complain 34:24.640 --> 34:25.900 like those people did. 34:26.140 --> 34:27.800 They started coming against Aaron and Moses. 34:27.960 --> 34:28.980 Yeah, you took us all out here 34:28.980 --> 34:29.980 and now look at where we're at. 34:30.680 --> 34:32.020 We're stuck out here 34:32.020 --> 34:33.600 and would have been better off 34:33.600 --> 34:34.980 if we would have just stayed the same 34:34.980 --> 34:36.400 and never ever acted this way. 34:36.800 --> 34:38.340 Never ever started to do anything. 34:38.520 --> 34:39.700 Just stayed back where we were. 34:43.120 --> 34:44.860 Well, you see that a lot today. 34:46.620 --> 34:48.720 So the people do have a part to play in it as too. 34:50.620 --> 34:52.760 But what's always interesting to me is, 34:52.780 --> 34:54.640 and you've probably thought about this too, 34:54.800 --> 34:57.800 is that, see, they saw 34:59.700 --> 35:02.240 so much of the powerful works of God. 35:07.540 --> 35:08.360 Supernatural things. 35:09.040 --> 35:09.880 I don't know about you, 35:09.900 --> 35:10.860 but I haven't seen that yet. 35:11.040 --> 35:13.300 I mean, I haven't seen any, you know, 35:13.540 --> 35:14.320 scenes partying. 35:15.100 --> 35:16.260 I haven't witnessed that. 35:17.140 --> 35:18.780 I mean, I wouldn't complain if it happened. 35:18.780 --> 35:19.340 I'd be all right. 35:19.780 --> 35:21.160 But I haven't seen that. 35:22.000 --> 35:23.340 I mean, it was pretty supernatural. 35:26.000 --> 35:28.340 And so, again, to me, 35:28.460 --> 35:30.420 what that tells me is, is that, see, 35:31.540 --> 35:32.960 we can be a church 35:34.060 --> 35:35.060 that witnesses 35:36.460 --> 35:39.820 and even experiences the most powerful works of God 35:39.820 --> 35:42.220 and still not enter into our promised land. 35:50.840 --> 35:53.640 Man, Israel, they saw supernatural deliverance 35:53.640 --> 35:55.980 and protection, provision. 35:58.640 --> 36:00.480 But they never enter the promised land. 36:04.560 --> 36:06.000 Their leaders passed away 36:08.040 --> 36:09.300 and the people 36:10.640 --> 36:11.940 failed to believe 36:13.740 --> 36:14.800 and they died. 36:18.210 --> 36:19.930 Now, we have an exhortation here, 36:19.990 --> 36:21.510 and this is over in Hebrews chapter 3. 36:23.730 --> 36:25.250 Hebrews chapter 3 36:26.490 --> 36:27.790 starting in verse 7. 36:30.860 --> 36:33.000 Hebrews chapter 3 verse 7 says this. 36:33.600 --> 36:34.600 It says, therefore, 36:35.780 --> 36:36.980 as the Holy Spirit says, 36:37.160 --> 36:39.720 today, if you'll hear His voice, 36:41.500 --> 36:42.900 and do not harden your hearts 36:42.900 --> 36:44.360 as in the rebellion 36:44.360 --> 36:46.820 in the day of trial in the wilderness. 36:47.100 --> 36:48.940 So here we're coming back to this thing again. 36:50.120 --> 36:52.320 He says, don't harden your hearts as in the rebellion 36:52.320 --> 36:53.620 in the day of trial in the wilderness, 36:54.000 --> 36:55.560 where your fathers tested me, 36:55.560 --> 36:58.560 he tried me, and saw my works 40 years. 36:59.960 --> 37:02.380 Therefore, I was angry with that generation. 37:02.560 --> 37:04.980 Oh, no, wait a minute. I thought God just... 37:04.980 --> 37:06.620 He's just a God of love. 37:18.140 --> 37:20.600 If you're a parent... 37:20.600 --> 37:22.660 Now, you know, my children are all grown 37:22.660 --> 37:23.640 and gone and whatever. 37:24.400 --> 37:26.360 But if you're a parent, 37:26.520 --> 37:27.940 I think you can someone understand that. 37:28.300 --> 37:30.600 Because did you ever get angry with your children? 37:38.350 --> 37:38.830 Why? 37:40.870 --> 37:42.570 Why? Because you didn't love them? 37:43.710 --> 37:45.290 No. You loved them. 37:45.650 --> 37:45.810 Yeah. 37:48.470 --> 37:49.430 Yeah, exactly. 37:50.550 --> 37:53.570 But they were doing something that was inappropriate. 37:53.830 --> 37:54.710 It was not right. 37:56.670 --> 37:59.050 And it caused you to get angry about that. 38:01.830 --> 38:03.170 And you were correct. 38:03.870 --> 38:06.310 And disciplined and so forth and so on. 38:06.370 --> 38:08.790 Well, at least you did back in the day when I grew up. 38:09.470 --> 38:12.250 I don't know where we're at in that place today anymore. 38:12.470 --> 38:14.970 I don't know, but at least with me it was that way. 38:16.690 --> 38:18.250 But anyway, it says so, verse 10. 38:18.950 --> 38:22.030 Therefore, I was angry with that generation and they said... 38:22.030 --> 38:24.850 And said, they always go astray in their heart. 38:25.790 --> 38:27.590 And they've not known my ways. 38:27.850 --> 38:29.370 We have to know his ways. 38:30.050 --> 38:30.350 Amen. 38:32.570 --> 38:35.610 So I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter my rest. 38:36.930 --> 38:39.130 Beware, brethren, lest there be any of you 38:39.130 --> 38:42.310 an evil heart of unbelief and departing from the living God. 38:43.110 --> 38:45.750 But exhort one another daily while it's called today. 38:46.490 --> 38:50.010 Lest any of you be heartened through the deceitfulness of sin. 38:50.530 --> 38:52.890 For we have become partakers of Christ 38:52.890 --> 38:54.990 if we hold the beginning of our confidence 38:54.990 --> 38:56.530 steadfast to the end. 38:57.230 --> 39:00.970 While it is said, today, if you will hear his voice, 39:02.010 --> 39:04.150 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. 39:05.030 --> 39:07.850 For who, having heard, rebelled. 39:08.890 --> 39:12.250 Indeed, was it not who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 39:13.050 --> 39:15.070 Now with whom was he angry 40 years? 39:15.570 --> 39:17.150 Was it not with those who sinned, 39:18.510 --> 39:20.650 whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? 39:21.290 --> 39:25.230 And to whom did he swear that they should not enter his rest? 39:25.630 --> 39:28.350 But to those who did not obey. 39:29.590 --> 39:33.470 So we see they could not enter in because of unbelief. 39:35.950 --> 39:38.210 Now I know in a general sense, 39:38.770 --> 39:41.830 I preach sermons this way, others preach sermons this way. 39:42.390 --> 39:44.810 In a general sense, we could use this to say, 39:44.870 --> 39:46.770 okay, well, you need to believe his word. 39:46.990 --> 39:49.550 You need to have whatever he said in the Word of God. 39:49.630 --> 39:50.810 You need to choose to believe it. 39:50.890 --> 39:53.950 Don't have this unbelief in you. Choose to believe the Word of God. 39:54.610 --> 39:55.910 Now, that's all true. 39:56.550 --> 39:58.910 But in the very context of what he's saying here, 39:59.030 --> 40:00.270 that's not what he's talking about. 40:02.150 --> 40:04.690 Because when he talks about them that, you know, 40:04.730 --> 40:10.650 they had heard, yet they didn't believe. 40:11.570 --> 40:12.510 What were they hearing? 40:14.650 --> 40:18.170 What they were hearing was, here's the vision. 40:21.760 --> 40:23.740 What they were hearing was God's plan. 40:24.940 --> 40:26.800 I'm going to take you into the promised land. 40:27.840 --> 40:29.960 What they were hearing is from their leaders, 40:29.960 --> 40:32.480 what God wanted to do, so forth and so on. 40:32.740 --> 40:35.220 It had to do really with the plan of God. 40:35.600 --> 40:39.000 Now, in a general sense, yes, all that's true as far as just the Word of God goes. 40:39.140 --> 40:40.860 We do need to believe his word, so forth and so on. 40:40.960 --> 40:42.120 And we do need to hear the Word. 40:42.560 --> 40:44.740 But the specifics of what he's talking about here, 40:45.240 --> 40:46.680 that those that were in that wilderness, 40:47.780 --> 40:49.140 they failed to believe. 40:49.400 --> 40:51.120 But what did they fail to believe? 40:51.400 --> 40:53.940 They failed to believe what God had said. 41:01.030 --> 41:01.770 Here's the plan. 41:06.960 --> 41:10.300 And that made him angry. 41:21.160 --> 41:24.600 So he goes on in Hebrews 4. 41:25.640 --> 41:28.820 We read in chapter 3 there, but he goes on in Hebrews 4 and says, 41:29.720 --> 41:31.740 in verse 11, Hebrews 4, 11 he says, 41:32.460 --> 41:35.220 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest 41:35.220 --> 41:42.000 lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 41:43.260 --> 41:49.240 We don't want to fall according to the same example of disobedience. 41:49.720 --> 41:54.580 And the disobedience had to be that they did not believe. 41:55.040 --> 41:56.380 But what did they not believe? 41:56.500 --> 41:58.140 They did not believe God's plan. 41:58.820 --> 42:00.240 I've given you this land. 42:04.740 --> 42:05.260 Hallelujah. 42:06.440 --> 42:07.020 All right, so. 42:08.400 --> 42:10.100 But now we know how the story goes. 42:11.540 --> 42:13.240 Moses now is dead. 42:13.760 --> 42:14.580 Aaron's dead. 42:15.500 --> 42:19.640 A great number of the original people that came out of Egypt. 42:19.800 --> 42:20.800 They died in the wilderness. 42:23.220 --> 42:25.640 But we do know that eventually, 42:26.600 --> 42:28.860 they do go into this promised land. 42:29.740 --> 42:32.160 But like I say, it's like the next generation, 42:32.320 --> 42:33.460 their kids, so to speak, 42:34.340 --> 42:36.680 that actually get to go into the promised land. 42:37.500 --> 42:39.740 But what was different about them? 42:42.160 --> 42:43.580 That they got to enter in. 42:44.340 --> 42:47.240 And Moses' dent and Aaron's dent 42:47.240 --> 42:50.020 and so many of those people that came out of Egypt 42:50.020 --> 42:51.180 did not enter in. 42:51.880 --> 42:53.660 But we know they eventually entered in. 42:53.800 --> 42:54.540 But what was different? 42:55.520 --> 42:56.720 Because that can tell us something. 42:58.600 --> 42:59.820 So let's look at that. 43:01.520 --> 43:02.780 Joshua chapter one. 43:08.350 --> 43:09.490 Joshua chapter one. 43:10.350 --> 43:11.450 And we can read the whole chapter. 43:11.710 --> 43:12.110 It's all good. 43:12.330 --> 43:14.170 But just for time's sake, 43:14.290 --> 43:16.190 we're going to pick out a couple verses here. 43:17.350 --> 43:19.570 But in Joshua chapter one, verse 10, 43:19.670 --> 43:21.230 because remember, Moses is dead 43:21.230 --> 43:23.050 and the Lord comes to Joshua 43:23.050 --> 43:25.010 and he says, Moses, my servant's dead. 43:25.510 --> 43:27.250 And so now you leave these people in. 43:28.250 --> 43:30.570 And they sell some different things to him. 43:30.610 --> 43:32.270 But we don't want to get into all that. 43:32.410 --> 43:32.890 Let's go here. 43:33.070 --> 43:34.570 Joshua chapter one, verse 10. 43:35.690 --> 43:37.830 So Joshua's got the orders now. 43:38.170 --> 43:39.230 He's the new leader. 43:40.090 --> 43:43.570 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people saying, 43:44.090 --> 43:46.670 pass through the camp and command the people saying, 43:47.290 --> 43:49.010 prepare provisions for yourselves 43:49.010 --> 43:50.430 for within three days, 43:51.070 --> 43:53.790 you will cross over this Jordan to go in to possess the land 43:53.790 --> 43:56.170 which the Lord your God is giving you to possess. 43:56.430 --> 43:56.590 All right. 43:56.790 --> 43:58.650 Just the one thing I really wanted you to notice in there 43:58.650 --> 44:02.070 is that Joshua now begins to command 44:02.670 --> 44:04.090 the officers of the people. 44:04.490 --> 44:05.490 So he takes charge. 44:06.910 --> 44:07.790 And what is he saying? 44:08.050 --> 44:08.670 We're going in. 44:10.610 --> 44:10.890 Huh? 44:12.030 --> 44:14.570 And he's really telling them what the Lord said 44:14.570 --> 44:16.730 because the Lord told Joshua, he says, 44:16.810 --> 44:17.510 Moses is dead. 44:17.550 --> 44:18.970 Now you leave these people in. 44:19.510 --> 44:22.070 And everywhere your foot goes, et cetera, et cetera, 44:22.130 --> 44:22.870 I've given you that. 44:23.110 --> 44:24.470 All the things that he said to him. 44:25.210 --> 44:27.690 And so Joshua steps up to the plate 44:28.150 --> 44:29.950 and says, okay, get ready. 44:29.950 --> 44:30.790 We're going in. 44:32.190 --> 44:34.430 So really what he's doing is, as a leader, 44:34.650 --> 44:36.450 he's communicating vision. 44:38.310 --> 44:39.190 He's communicating. 44:39.850 --> 44:40.790 This is what God said. 44:40.910 --> 44:42.110 This is what we're going to do. 44:42.190 --> 44:42.870 We're going in. 44:43.850 --> 44:46.550 It's kind of like we're going to build a building. 44:51.990 --> 44:52.430 Okay. 44:56.170 --> 44:57.630 So verse 16. 44:58.570 --> 45:00.010 Joshua 1 verse 16. 45:01.550 --> 45:03.510 So they answered Joshua 45:03.510 --> 45:05.430 because we're looking at, say, what was different? 45:05.530 --> 45:06.630 Because they went in. 45:06.870 --> 45:07.490 But what was different? 45:08.690 --> 45:10.350 So they answered Joshua saying, 45:10.690 --> 45:13.770 all that you command us, we will do. 45:15.170 --> 45:17.750 And wherever you send us, we will go. 45:19.770 --> 45:21.170 Now it's interesting 45:21.170 --> 45:25.050 because Moses never got that kind of response. 45:29.980 --> 45:33.140 I mean, if he did, it's not recorded in the scriptures 45:33.820 --> 45:35.720 because mostly the kind of response 45:35.720 --> 45:38.280 Moses got was, complain, 45:40.060 --> 45:43.160 we're going to die, all kinds of things. 45:44.060 --> 45:45.800 He never got that kind of response. 45:46.740 --> 45:47.600 But Joshua does. 45:48.900 --> 45:51.480 He says, all that you command us, we will do. 45:51.800 --> 45:54.080 And wherever you send us, we will go. 45:55.060 --> 45:57.900 Just as we heated Moses in all things, 45:58.760 --> 46:00.140 so we will heed you. 46:00.900 --> 46:02.480 Oh, no, you have a wait a minute. 46:03.180 --> 46:04.840 I know we laugh because we know 46:04.840 --> 46:08.600 that previous generation didn't do that. 46:09.100 --> 46:10.680 But the next one did. 46:11.840 --> 46:13.800 See, they've been wandering out there for a while 46:13.800 --> 46:15.860 and there's this whole another group coming up. 46:16.320 --> 46:17.740 And that whole another group, 46:17.860 --> 46:19.780 what they're doing, they're heeding Moses. 46:20.340 --> 46:22.480 They believe we can do this. 46:24.080 --> 46:24.500 Amen. 46:27.280 --> 46:29.280 So it says, just as we heated Moses in all things, 46:29.380 --> 46:30.220 so we will heed you. 46:30.480 --> 46:32.100 Only the Lord your God be with you 46:32.100 --> 46:33.520 as he was with Moses. 46:34.140 --> 46:36.540 Whoever rebels against your command 46:37.120 --> 46:39.440 and does not heed your words 46:39.440 --> 46:41.560 and all that you command him 46:41.560 --> 46:43.120 shall be put to death. 46:44.740 --> 46:45.920 Only be strong 46:45.920 --> 46:47.540 and of good courage. 46:48.700 --> 46:49.960 Oh, that's pretty extreme. 46:50.420 --> 46:52.440 And I'm certainly not endorsing that. 46:55.460 --> 46:57.120 But I like their attitude. 46:58.600 --> 46:59.980 They said, we're going in. 47:01.560 --> 47:02.800 We believe the vision. 47:03.480 --> 47:05.080 Man, we've believed it for a long time. 47:05.500 --> 47:07.600 We've been heeding Moses for a long time already. 47:08.240 --> 47:08.900 We believe it. 47:09.400 --> 47:10.540 And now Joshua comes along 47:10.540 --> 47:12.440 and begins to command the officers of the people. 47:12.860 --> 47:14.400 He says, all right, get them ready, we're going in. 47:14.780 --> 47:15.540 They believed it. 47:15.920 --> 47:17.700 And they said, all right, we are going in 47:17.700 --> 47:19.180 and if there's people that won't go with us, 47:19.240 --> 47:20.500 we're just going to knock them off. 47:22.340 --> 47:23.580 I mean, that's what they said. 47:27.760 --> 47:31.440 Now, obviously, we're not going to do that today, obviously. 47:37.370 --> 47:39.910 But there was something working here, see, 47:40.690 --> 47:42.190 that I think we need to get. 47:43.610 --> 47:46.070 If we're going to go into that spiritual promised land 47:46.070 --> 47:48.970 and it all has to do with the corporate anointing. 47:48.970 --> 47:50.470 Yes, yes. 47:54.070 --> 47:57.890 See, they submitted to the one that was in authority. 48:00.050 --> 48:03.190 They believed and they heeded all that Joshua commanded. 48:04.350 --> 48:08.330 And their level of commitment and obedience was extreme. 48:13.940 --> 48:16.300 See, submission and authority 48:16.920 --> 48:19.660 is not just some kind of teaching 48:19.660 --> 48:22.440 or idea or excuse 48:23.760 --> 48:25.600 to try and govern people. 48:26.980 --> 48:28.200 That's now what it is. 48:30.080 --> 48:31.260 It's God ordained. 48:33.260 --> 48:36.140 The entire kingdom of God works under submission and authority. 48:40.540 --> 48:42.800 Jesus is in submission to his Father. 48:45.760 --> 48:47.660 The Holy Spirit in submission to Jesus. 48:48.340 --> 48:50.520 We can see it throughout the scriptures. 48:54.270 --> 48:56.370 The whole kingdom works that way. 48:58.050 --> 49:00.110 But see, one of the things that we have 49:01.890 --> 49:04.270 working against us in America. 49:05.290 --> 49:07.090 Like I said, I can't speak for the rest of the world. 49:07.730 --> 49:10.510 But the one thing we got working against us in America 49:10.510 --> 49:12.450 is something called freedom. 49:16.100 --> 49:17.160 No, that sounds strange. 49:19.000 --> 49:20.460 And freedom is wonderful. 49:23.580 --> 49:25.500 But see, if we're not careful, 49:26.060 --> 49:27.680 the whole concept of freedom says, 49:27.960 --> 49:30.180 you know what, I'm free to do whatever I want to do. 49:30.960 --> 49:32.480 And I'm not going to submit to anybody. 49:33.220 --> 49:35.340 I'm not going to have anybody tell me anything. 49:36.860 --> 49:39.160 And I've run into this all the time. 49:40.120 --> 49:42.080 I mean, I've been in ministry for quite a while now. 49:43.800 --> 49:45.420 And I've run into people that said, 49:45.420 --> 49:46.920 you know what, I don't need a pastor. 49:47.540 --> 49:50.560 I mean, I can read the Word on my own. 49:50.820 --> 49:52.600 I mean, I can pray, I can hear from God. 49:52.960 --> 49:55.120 I don't need anybody else speaking into my life. 49:56.100 --> 49:58.180 That's not how it works in the kingdom of God. 50:00.240 --> 50:01.520 That's called rebellion. 50:03.320 --> 50:05.200 And it prevented the children of Israel 50:05.200 --> 50:06.560 from getting into the Promised Land. 50:09.240 --> 50:10.820 But see, there's this whole idea of, 50:11.100 --> 50:12.640 well, we're just free, free, free, free. 50:14.320 --> 50:15.580 Well, we are. 50:16.560 --> 50:17.780 Thank God for it. 50:18.540 --> 50:20.620 I'm glad that I live in a country in which 50:21.120 --> 50:23.760 I'm free to even be in a place like this 50:23.760 --> 50:25.760 on a Sunday morning preaching the Word to you. 50:26.420 --> 50:27.340 That's wonderful. 50:30.100 --> 50:32.220 And you can always see how the enemy works. 50:32.380 --> 50:34.060 The enemy wants to take away freedom. 50:34.120 --> 50:36.760 He wants to just keep people in places of bondage. 50:37.240 --> 50:40.340 And he works through governments and other things to do that. 50:40.960 --> 50:42.280 He even works through religion. 50:44.460 --> 50:44.760 Amen. 50:45.980 --> 50:48.160 Because there are, you know, 50:48.260 --> 50:51.080 if you really get into the strict religious circles, 50:51.660 --> 50:52.660 there's a lot of bondage. 50:53.960 --> 50:55.360 So yes, we have freedom. 50:55.480 --> 50:57.020 And even in Christ, He set us free. 50:57.200 --> 50:59.740 Set us free from sin and so forth and so on 50:59.740 --> 51:02.360 and free from all the evil that the enemy 51:02.360 --> 51:04.480 can bring against us. We can walk in victory. 51:05.020 --> 51:06.320 So freedom is good, 51:07.180 --> 51:09.340 but not good if it overrides 51:12.080 --> 51:13.140 obedience to God. 51:20.700 --> 51:22.460 And I could be wrong, 51:22.680 --> 51:24.740 but I mean, I have done a lot of work with marriages 51:25.320 --> 51:29.160 in my ministry, but I see this as one of the major problems 51:29.160 --> 51:30.180 in marriages. 51:31.560 --> 51:33.540 Because God actually set it up. 51:34.180 --> 51:35.740 Now, y'all still love me after this. 51:38.200 --> 51:41.260 But God actually set it up with submission and authority. 51:43.120 --> 51:44.560 And He actually said now, 51:45.040 --> 51:47.360 you're the guy. You're the head of this union. 51:50.220 --> 51:51.300 Some don't like that. 51:52.520 --> 51:54.100 I'm not going to submit to any guy. 51:54.960 --> 51:57.020 There's no man going to tell me what to do. 51:59.520 --> 52:01.360 Well, there's a lot we can say about that. 52:01.960 --> 52:03.520 Now, can you abuse authority? 52:03.800 --> 52:04.400 Yes, you can. 52:07.000 --> 52:07.680 You can. 52:08.460 --> 52:10.020 But that's not what we're talking about. 52:10.020 --> 52:14.260 We're talking about this godly submission and authority. 52:14.600 --> 52:16.840 The whole kingdom functions that way. 52:17.340 --> 52:20.940 And when we choose to be that way, 52:21.400 --> 52:25.180 where we are submitted to the leaders that God has 52:25.180 --> 52:28.800 connected us with and we believe the vision 52:28.800 --> 52:32.100 and we're committed to it, to the extreme. 52:32.780 --> 52:36.740 It says we will do whatever to see this come to pass 52:36.740 --> 52:38.820 because we recognize it as sacred. 52:40.240 --> 52:44.540 And then when the leaders are willing to compromise 52:45.360 --> 52:47.540 in what God has said, 52:47.840 --> 52:50.560 they're not willing to compromise on the vision 52:50.560 --> 52:52.860 and they treated us sacred, 52:53.520 --> 52:57.240 now all of a sudden we have something working 52:57.240 --> 52:59.580 called the corporate anointing. 53:02.640 --> 53:05.700 And we can see this play out with Joshua. 53:05.700 --> 53:07.680 Because remember their attitude was, 53:07.780 --> 53:13.420 hey, man, whatever you command us to do, 53:13.500 --> 53:14.900 we're just going to do it, we're with you, 53:15.080 --> 53:17.020 we're going in, let's possess this land. 53:17.340 --> 53:18.880 And they were so committed that they said, 53:18.960 --> 53:20.800 well, even if they're not with us, 53:20.920 --> 53:22.060 well, we're just going to eliminate them. 53:22.400 --> 53:23.360 But we're going in. 53:26.460 --> 53:28.080 Now, look what happens. 53:30.120 --> 53:32.060 What's the first place they run into? 53:34.400 --> 53:34.980 Jericho. 53:37.100 --> 53:38.600 Oh, great story. 53:41.120 --> 53:42.500 But here's this group. 53:44.240 --> 53:46.320 Man, the corporate anointing is flowing. 53:48.000 --> 53:50.680 They pass on over into the promised land 53:50.680 --> 53:54.220 and they're doing exactly what God tells them to do. 53:54.740 --> 53:56.600 And he says, you do this, 53:56.880 --> 53:59.340 you march around so many times, so many days, 53:59.520 --> 54:00.480 you shout, blah, blah, blah. 54:00.480 --> 54:01.600 You do all that. 54:02.120 --> 54:03.560 And the walls fell down. 54:06.160 --> 54:07.200 Great power. 54:08.580 --> 54:10.920 They were operating in this corporate anointing. 54:13.320 --> 54:15.900 It wasn't just an anointing that was on Joshua. 54:17.440 --> 54:19.240 It was the corporate anointing. 54:20.780 --> 54:22.540 Because they now are in a place of unity. 54:27.620 --> 54:30.920 Now, we know as we continue to watch them, 54:31.860 --> 54:37.780 is that they do come up with a little bit of a challenge later. 54:39.840 --> 54:44.340 Because God had told them to go out and fight against these people 54:44.340 --> 54:48.080 and he had told them not to take anything from them. 54:49.500 --> 54:50.320 And remember the story? 54:51.000 --> 54:51.940 They did, they took stuff. 54:53.900 --> 54:55.480 Well, here we are again. 54:57.580 --> 55:00.220 Now, you're not treating what God said as sacred. 55:00.960 --> 55:02.940 See? And it cost them. 55:12.420 --> 55:14.300 See, people needed to follow Moses. 55:14.860 --> 55:15.920 There is a divine order. 55:17.060 --> 55:19.660 Paul had even told people under the New Testament, 55:20.240 --> 55:23.260 he said, follow me as I follow the Lord. 55:26.820 --> 55:31.440 There is this corporate anointing that's far greater than any individual anointing. 55:33.480 --> 55:37.260 And the Lord wants that manifested in the earth today. 55:39.320 --> 55:41.400 We need the fullness of the glory. 55:42.480 --> 55:46.700 And every revival that's ever taken place has seen this. 55:47.600 --> 55:52.900 They've seen the prayer and they've seen the corporate anointing. 55:53.460 --> 55:55.660 And the fullness of the glory was manifested. 56:03.730 --> 56:04.730 Could it be? 56:06.110 --> 56:09.790 I'm not saying it is, but I'm just going to throw a question out to you. 56:09.790 --> 56:15.810 Could it be that we've only come as far as we are, 56:16.750 --> 56:21.130 because it's as far as the Lord can go under the present circumstances? 56:23.710 --> 56:24.550 Could it be? 56:32.200 --> 56:33.520 Because I don't know about you. 56:36.440 --> 56:38.400 I'm really long for those days. 56:38.920 --> 56:39.320 Amen. 56:41.360 --> 56:43.640 Man, I read some about these past revivals, 56:43.820 --> 56:45.640 and I believe this revival that we're in, 56:46.140 --> 56:47.940 I think we're in the beginning stages of it, 56:48.120 --> 56:50.980 it's going to be greater than any of those that we've yet to see. 56:52.740 --> 56:53.960 But I long for those times. 56:54.020 --> 56:55.440 Man, I read about some of those stuff. 56:56.100 --> 56:58.820 I remember, and I think I probably shared this with you one other time, 56:58.860 --> 57:00.100 but I had the opportunity to meet someone, 57:00.740 --> 57:06.760 an older gentleman that had actually been in meetings with A.A. Allen. 57:08.580 --> 57:15.220 Now, A.A. Allen, he kind of messed up at the end and cost him a lot. 57:17.440 --> 57:20.100 But he had a tremendous healing anointing. 57:20.600 --> 57:22.880 And this gentleman that I got to meet, he was in his meetings. 57:23.940 --> 57:26.080 And he was sharing with me, he said, we watched. 57:27.000 --> 57:29.140 He said, people would get brought into the meetings 57:29.640 --> 57:32.380 with, they'd be missing a limb. 57:33.600 --> 57:35.580 They'd be missing an arm or a leg. 57:35.580 --> 57:38.740 And he said, we just watch it come back on their body. 57:42.460 --> 57:44.400 Man, I long for those days. 57:49.800 --> 57:55.020 I saw some of that in the early days of what became known as the word movement, 57:55.240 --> 57:58.140 the faith movement or whatever, that revival that took place. 57:58.560 --> 58:01.280 I can remember going to some meetings in those early days. 58:02.800 --> 58:07.520 And, I mean, they'd have people on the side of the platform over here. 58:07.600 --> 58:10.020 And the platform was big because it was in a big convention center. 58:10.300 --> 58:12.320 And, you know, 20,000 people there, whatever. 58:12.580 --> 58:13.440 I don't know how many they see. 58:13.880 --> 58:19.400 But they'd have this, people in wheelchairs just sitting all up and down. 58:19.740 --> 58:23.220 And all of a sudden, people in those wheelchairs would just start getting up and walking off. 58:28.120 --> 58:29.260 I was in a meeting one time. 58:29.380 --> 58:31.020 They brought this lady in on a stretcher. 58:31.060 --> 58:35.080 It was that same big meeting, you know, and lots of people there. 58:35.240 --> 58:38.760 And they brought her in on a stretcher, you know, had the IV thing going. 58:39.040 --> 58:42.340 And she's on this hospital stretcher, rolled her down the aisle. 58:45.040 --> 58:50.320 And the preacher ministers to her and she gets up and walks off, totally healed. 58:51.980 --> 58:53.380 She looked the picture of death. 58:54.160 --> 58:57.820 I mean, you would have thought, I don't even know if you're going to make it down to the front. 58:58.520 --> 59:00.360 Because you look like you're going to die any minute. 59:01.540 --> 59:03.060 And she just supernaturally healed. 59:03.880 --> 59:04.860 I long for those days. 59:10.700 --> 59:17.880 But maybe, maybe we haven't got there yet because of the present circumstances. 59:20.380 --> 59:22.180 Maybe we need to change something. 59:25.220 --> 59:27.920 Maybe we need to treat things a little bit more sacred. 59:30.540 --> 59:33.880 Maybe we need to learn how to work in this deeper realm of prayer. 59:36.380 --> 59:39.420 And believe the vision that God's imparted to us. 59:40.380 --> 59:44.700 And follow our leaders in which they're sharing the vision with us. 59:45.020 --> 59:47.140 And we're saying, man, this is what God's got for us to do. 59:47.140 --> 59:49.120 And let's just do it. Let's go for it. 59:49.860 --> 59:52.480 And be committed to it to the extreme. 01:00:04.220 --> 01:00:06.760 Now we do see a thing with Joshua. 01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:09.500 And I thought it was interesting. 01:00:11.360 --> 01:00:18.120 Because the Lord had told Joshua several times as this leader 01:00:19.500 --> 01:00:23.260 that what he needed to do is he needed to be strong and courageous. 01:00:30.090 --> 01:00:31.770 He needed to be strong and courageous. 01:00:36.920 --> 01:00:38.700 Leaders need to be strong and courageous. 01:00:41.400 --> 01:00:42.920 This is what God said. 01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:02.740 So I don't know. 01:01:04.540 --> 01:01:06.260 I was trying to give you something to think about. 01:01:08.720 --> 01:01:12.440 I just think we've only gotten as far as we've gotten because of where we're at. 01:01:13.320 --> 01:01:14.720 And we need to change something. 01:01:25.120 --> 01:01:28.540 I personally think, and some of you might not like me for this, 01:01:28.700 --> 01:01:32.340 but I think social media has been a real hindrance. 01:01:34.360 --> 01:01:40.360 I'm not against social media, but I mean, I'm a Facebook guy. 01:01:41.260 --> 01:01:43.000 I'm one of the old guys that took over Facebook. 01:01:43.900 --> 01:01:45.160 And that's the big joke. 01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:47.820 All the kids they originally had Facebook and then they all left 01:01:47.820 --> 01:01:49.100 because all the old people took it over. 01:01:50.940 --> 01:01:53.300 So I'm not opposed to that, but you know what? 01:01:54.040 --> 01:01:58.160 Social media has been a hindrance because it's pushed people into just 01:01:58.820 --> 01:02:04.240 visual things and the physical realm and emotional things and all this sort of stuff. 01:02:04.540 --> 01:02:08.020 And it's really kind of drawn away from the spiritual side of things. 01:02:14.150 --> 01:02:15.830 And so it was very interesting to me. 01:02:16.050 --> 01:02:21.350 Like I said, I watched most of the meetings and they were so much good. 01:02:22.590 --> 01:02:24.050 So much good that took place. 01:02:26.010 --> 01:02:28.310 And I'm excited to hear that, you know, Pastor said, 01:02:28.370 --> 01:02:31.330 well, we're going to look at things and review and say, OK, you know, 01:02:31.630 --> 01:02:33.990 what can we pick out of here that the Lord really said 01:02:34.510 --> 01:02:37.970 and so that we can make the adjustments and go with what he's got for us? 01:02:38.090 --> 01:02:38.650 That's awesome. 01:02:40.970 --> 01:02:42.890 But I guess just, you know, for my part, 01:02:43.770 --> 01:02:45.490 and I really enjoyed, what was his name, Vito? 01:02:46.270 --> 01:02:48.770 I really enjoyed Vito. I mean, I just got to be honest. 01:02:48.770 --> 01:02:50.490 I mean, they were all good. 01:02:50.990 --> 01:02:53.010 None were, you know, better or worse or whatever, 01:02:53.110 --> 01:02:55.290 but I really enjoyed Vito. I really did. 01:02:56.030 --> 01:03:00.810 There just seemed to be a real maturity there and heart for God. 01:03:01.090 --> 01:03:02.910 And I really enjoyed that. 01:03:03.070 --> 01:03:05.410 But I guess for my part, 01:03:06.450 --> 01:03:12.110 what I would leave for you as we start now moving into this new year 01:03:12.110 --> 01:03:17.190 and what I believe really is going to be us advancing farther into this revival. 01:03:20.170 --> 01:03:24.870 And would be, man, let's press into places of prayer. 01:03:26.290 --> 01:03:30.650 And let's learn how to work with them in this deeper realm of prayer. 01:03:31.810 --> 01:03:36.310 And let's be more determined than ever to follow the vision. 01:03:37.590 --> 01:03:40.230 Let's not let little things get us off. 01:03:46.300 --> 01:03:48.000 Let's believe, treat it sacred. 01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:50.700 This is what God said, this is sacred. 01:03:50.700 --> 01:04:00.740 Let me be honest with you. 01:04:02.820 --> 01:04:06.700 I've been coming here a little bit now, getting to know your pastors better, 01:04:06.900 --> 01:04:08.200 which I really appreciate. 01:04:10.180 --> 01:04:14.360 But it seems like every time I prepare and come in here to minister, 01:04:15.900 --> 01:04:20.900 there's always this one thing that just sticks out in my heart and its vision. 01:04:22.640 --> 01:04:24.820 Every time I come here and say, 01:04:24.820 --> 01:04:28.560 something just starts to get excited within my spirit about vision. 01:04:29.020 --> 01:04:33.740 I believe that God's put something in front of you guys that's just incredible. 01:04:35.800 --> 01:04:36.900 And it's His plan. 01:04:38.000 --> 01:04:39.700 And it shall come to pass. 01:04:45.160 --> 01:04:45.660 Hallelujah. 01:04:46.500 --> 01:04:52.040 But it's going to be up to you to be like those children of Israel under Joshua. 01:04:53.540 --> 01:04:56.140 That says, man, we're going for this thing.

We'd never seen it. 01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:42.260 We didn't even know what it was. 01:11:43.700 --> 01:11:44.860 But we just wanted God. 01:11:45.280 --> 01:11:46.560 And we're just going to obey him. 01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:52.680 And we even got to the point, some of us, you know, 01:11:52.740 --> 01:11:54.300 that were real prayer warriors and we did pray. 01:11:54.940 --> 01:11:57.140 We used to have, back in those early days 01:11:57.140 --> 01:12:00.040 when I was a pastor and just as this young person, 01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:02.340 we'd have all night prayer meetings. 01:12:04.040 --> 01:12:05.460 We'd come and we'd pray all night long. 01:12:09.540 --> 01:12:10.660 But we saw things happen. 01:12:14.040 --> 01:12:16.700 And we built a core of prayers. 01:12:17.100 --> 01:12:20.000 And people started hooking up with the vision 01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:22.080 and what we saw God wanted to do. 01:12:22.240 --> 01:12:24.380 And the more we got into that place, 01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:27.440 the more we saw this corporate anointing just begin to flow. 01:12:28.540 --> 01:12:29.080 Things happen. 01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:31.960 People come in, conviction would just hit them. 01:12:32.040 --> 01:12:34.120 The presence of God would just hit them and they'd get saved. 01:12:35.820 --> 01:12:36.720 Amazing things. 01:12:40.600 --> 01:12:41.700 I want that again. 01:12:42.260 --> 01:12:42.700 Amen. 01:12:45.020 --> 01:12:47.840 Because as I walked, I saw some of those things begin to wane. 01:12:52.670 --> 01:12:53.610 I want them back. 01:12:55.070 --> 01:12:55.750 And then some. 01:12:57.570 --> 01:12:58.170 And then some. 01:13:00.010 --> 01:13:00.210 Amen. 01:13:02.150 --> 01:13:03.190 Will y'all still love me? 01:13:03.570 --> 01:13:03.890 Yes. 01:13:04.870 --> 01:13:05.970 Because I still love you. 01:13:08.190 --> 01:13:08.630 Amen. 01:13:10.190 --> 01:13:13.430 And it is an honor for me to be connected with this church. 01:13:13.430 --> 01:13:14.230 It really is. 01:13:14.810 --> 01:13:16.910 I've said it this way and it's still true. 01:13:17.130 --> 01:13:18.010 It hasn't changed. 01:13:19.490 --> 01:13:22.170 But the anointing that God has put in my life 01:13:24.770 --> 01:13:26.690 flows just so... 01:13:26.690 --> 01:13:28.070 I don't even know how to say it. 01:13:28.130 --> 01:13:32.210 Probably the easiest of anything I do in ministry 01:13:32.210 --> 01:13:33.170 it flows here. 01:13:37.220 --> 01:13:38.720 And so I appreciate that. 01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:40.660 I appreciate your pastors for receiving me. 01:13:40.860 --> 01:13:44.180 I appreciate you all for allowing me to talk to you. 01:13:45.660 --> 01:13:47.580 And, man, let's get this thing done. 01:13:48.540 --> 01:13:48.980 Amen. 01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:51.260 Hallelujah. 01:13:52.460 --> 01:13:54.340 Well, I don't know where to go from here, Pastor. 01:13:54.740 --> 01:13:55.420 It's Sunday morning. 01:13:56.600 --> 01:13:57.680 You've had a long week. 01:13:58.720 --> 01:13:59.160 I don't know. 01:13:59.720 --> 01:14:01.000 You got anything in your heart? 01:14:01.240 --> 01:14:01.460 I do. 01:14:01.820 --> 01:14:02.140 Good. 01:14:07.120 --> 01:14:07.560 Okay. 01:14:24.820 --> 01:14:26.240 I'm trying. Hang on. 01:14:31.360 --> 01:14:33.260 I could just stand here and weep. 01:14:40.560 --> 01:14:42.760 I'm not fully sure what it's about. 01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:43.780 He won't tell me. 01:14:50.980 --> 01:14:53.380 There's only one phrase running through my head. 01:14:58.900 --> 01:15:01.540 And it goes along with what Brad was speaking. 01:15:05.780 --> 01:15:06.760 Does God... 01:15:06.760 --> 01:15:08.920 I'll put it in my words because I don't have the exact 01:15:10.320 --> 01:15:11.420 phrasing of the scripture. 01:15:12.740 --> 01:15:15.120 Does God only speak to Moses? 01:15:20.640 --> 01:15:22.700 That became a huge problem 01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:24.940 with the Israelites. 01:15:25.280 --> 01:15:27.200 And it was one of the reasons they didn't go in. 01:15:30.400 --> 01:15:32.560 Because of the issue of 01:15:32.560 --> 01:15:34.880 God works from the top down. 01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:37.120 And they didn't like that. 01:15:43.320 --> 01:15:46.440 Folks, I know that leadership can be bad. 01:15:47.720 --> 01:15:50.460 And if leadership goes bad, the whole thing 01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:52.920 goes rotten. 01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:57.460 And I know that is absolutely true. 01:16:02.190 --> 01:16:05.110 And when we get to Heaven and Judgment Day, 01:16:08.270 --> 01:16:10.950 if any of those leaders are standing near me 01:16:10.950 --> 01:16:13.830 who went bad, I'm going to step back a few steps. 01:16:16.590 --> 01:16:18.870 Because it's probably going to go bad for them. 01:16:22.270 --> 01:16:25.070 When someone affects hundreds 01:16:25.530 --> 01:16:28.570 or thousands of people and destroys 01:16:28.570 --> 01:16:30.930 something that God was trying to do. 01:16:32.910 --> 01:16:34.850 God does not laugh at that. 01:16:35.510 --> 01:16:37.690 It's a wholly serious thing. 01:16:39.730 --> 01:16:42.930 And I know leadership can go bad. 01:16:43.110 --> 01:16:45.430 And one of the reasons leadership goes bad 01:16:45.430 --> 01:16:48.310 is because they don't have authority over them. 01:16:49.910 --> 01:16:51.190 They're freelancers. 01:16:52.070 --> 01:16:55.350 And there's churches out there who are not under authority 01:16:55.350 --> 01:16:56.910 to anyone or anything. 01:16:57.270 --> 01:16:59.670 And I totally disagree with it. 01:17:00.590 --> 01:17:03.270 Because there's nobody who can check them 01:17:03.270 --> 01:17:06.610 and say, you know, you're headed down a direction that's wrong. 01:17:07.210 --> 01:17:10.370 And it's going to bite you if you don't change it. 01:17:11.310 --> 01:17:14.450 You have to be under authority. 01:17:15.070 --> 01:17:17.450 That's why I said Brad's going to review 01:17:17.450 --> 01:17:18.250 some of these things. 01:17:18.250 --> 01:17:20.310 He's going to look at what happened last night 01:17:20.310 --> 01:17:21.190 and he's going to weigh in. 01:17:22.350 --> 01:17:24.230 Not because he wants to, 01:17:25.890 --> 01:17:29.130 but because I need him to. 01:17:30.550 --> 01:17:32.210 We need him to. 01:17:39.030 --> 01:17:41.090 And God has asked us to take, 01:17:41.350 --> 01:17:42.870 you know, for this size congregation, 01:17:43.270 --> 01:17:47.270 God has asked us to take on a huge project 01:17:47.270 --> 01:17:48.310 in the physical. 01:17:49.490 --> 01:17:50.610 Huge project. 01:17:53.030 --> 01:17:54.670 And we know why. 01:17:55.810 --> 01:17:58.870 And, you know, we've had meetings about it 01:17:58.870 --> 01:18:04.130 and there wasn't one person in the covenant partnership 01:18:04.130 --> 01:18:05.890 who disagreed and said, we shouldn't do this. 01:18:05.990 --> 01:18:07.450 Everybody is 100% there. 01:18:07.550 --> 01:18:10.330 And as far as I can tell, everybody is still 100% there. 01:18:11.030 --> 01:18:15.210 But I understand the magnitude of what we're taking on. 01:18:17.570 --> 01:18:20.050 We're talking multi-million dollar project. 01:18:21.510 --> 01:18:23.730 We're not that big a congregation. 01:18:24.450 --> 01:18:26.310 This is a big undertaking. 01:18:26.770 --> 01:18:27.770 For God, it's nothing. 01:18:29.230 --> 01:18:32.090 And he's just going to pull out some pocket change 01:18:32.090 --> 01:18:34.190 and throw it at a few people and say, 01:18:34.210 --> 01:18:35.870 there you go, there's a few million dollars. 01:18:36.690 --> 01:18:38.050 Give it to them, they need it. 01:18:39.430 --> 01:18:41.050 I mean, that's how God works. 01:18:41.210 --> 01:18:42.370 But from our side, it's like, 01:18:45.770 --> 01:18:47.690 whoa, we're going to stretch our faith a bit. 01:18:47.690 --> 01:18:52.010 But I want you to understand why I am insistent 01:18:52.550 --> 01:18:54.430 that this will happen debt-free. 01:18:55.010 --> 01:18:57.050 And if it doesn't happen debt-free, we're not building. 01:18:58.370 --> 01:18:59.730 I'm insistent on it. 01:18:59.850 --> 01:19:03.610 When we were in Colorado, there was, of course, 01:19:03.770 --> 01:19:05.850 property and everything's really expensive out there 01:19:05.850 --> 01:19:07.810 and we never got to the point 01:19:07.810 --> 01:19:09.390 where we purchased our own building. 01:19:09.730 --> 01:19:12.670 It just was, we couldn't make that leap. 01:19:14.110 --> 01:19:15.510 But we rented. 01:19:16.150 --> 01:19:16.830 We rented. 01:19:19.930 --> 01:19:21.910 That doesn't make any difference. 01:19:22.570 --> 01:19:24.910 It's the old man and me who likes details. 01:19:26.570 --> 01:19:30.790 We rented a fairly expensive place 01:19:30.790 --> 01:19:32.150 because everything's expensive. 01:19:35.490 --> 01:19:38.950 And we went through a few-year period of time 01:19:40.390 --> 01:19:45.410 financially that was absolutely horrid. 01:19:47.630 --> 01:19:48.430 Horrid. 01:19:52.150 --> 01:19:56.010 We were borrowing money off of our second mortgage to live. 01:19:57.810 --> 01:20:01.110 It was horrid financially in the church. 01:20:02.210 --> 01:20:05.070 We had big rental payments, big payments, 01:20:05.390 --> 01:20:07.370 and they weren't being made. 01:20:07.370 --> 01:20:09.970 Well, we made all the payments, 01:20:10.010 --> 01:20:11.870 but there wasn't enough coming in 01:20:11.870 --> 01:20:13.750 to make the payments and to pay us. 01:20:14.010 --> 01:20:16.130 And once that lease came to an end 01:20:16.130 --> 01:20:17.370 and we stepped out of it, 01:20:19.990 --> 01:20:21.530 I asked God, I said, 01:20:21.550 --> 01:20:23.750 why did we go through that? 01:20:26.730 --> 01:20:28.070 That was the worst. 01:20:28.930 --> 01:20:31.510 I still get sick to my stomach when I think about it. 01:20:32.030 --> 01:20:34.870 It's like, oh, God, that was horrible. 01:20:37.290 --> 01:20:39.550 And he made one statement to me 01:20:40.390 --> 01:20:43.250 that is directing what we're doing right now. 01:20:44.750 --> 01:20:46.670 He said, the day is coming. 01:20:47.330 --> 01:20:50.090 You're going to be tempted to get in 01:20:50.090 --> 01:20:51.110 over your head financially 01:20:51.510 --> 01:20:54.570 and you'll lose the church if you go there. 01:20:54.790 --> 01:20:57.170 I wanted you to know what it feels like. 01:21:01.240 --> 01:21:02.920 This is that day. 01:21:05.020 --> 01:21:06.520 We could get all excited 01:21:06.520 --> 01:21:08.920 and jump out and borrow a couple million dollars 01:21:08.920 --> 01:21:11.640 and throw that thing up and woohoo. 01:21:12.800 --> 01:21:14.500 And then something goes wrong. 01:21:15.440 --> 01:21:17.240 And we lose the whole thing. 01:21:19.180 --> 01:21:20.460 And I refuse. 01:21:24.830 --> 01:21:26.510 This happened in 01:21:30.480 --> 01:21:32.380 1997, he told me that. 01:21:34.300 --> 01:21:35.500 So here we are. 01:21:35.640 --> 01:21:37.220 We're almost 30 years later. 01:21:38.200 --> 01:21:40.280 And now we're at the day 01:21:40.280 --> 01:21:42.700 he gave me that lesson for. 01:21:44.680 --> 01:21:46.560 And I will not borrow 01:21:47.400 --> 01:21:48.940 to make this happen. 01:21:50.100 --> 01:21:51.840 I know what it's like 01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:53.720 to have overwhelming payments 01:21:53.720 --> 01:21:56.160 that you're just scraping 01:21:56.160 --> 01:21:57.500 the paint off the walls 01:21:57.500 --> 01:21:58.440 to make the payments. 01:21:59.440 --> 01:22:00.600 We're not going there. 01:22:00.600 --> 01:22:02.080 We're not doing that. 01:22:03.120 --> 01:22:05.360 But God's still going to set that building up. 01:22:07.460 --> 01:22:08.720 It's still going to happen. 01:22:16.410 --> 01:22:17.850 So there's always a reason 01:22:17.850 --> 01:22:19.790 why leaders make decisions they make 01:22:19.790 --> 01:22:22.330 and I know leaders can make bad decisions 01:22:22.330 --> 01:22:24.090 and I don't want to be one of them. 01:22:26.450 --> 01:22:28.030 And sometimes obedience 01:22:28.030 --> 01:22:29.290 is the hardest thing 01:22:30.810 --> 01:22:31.550 to do. 01:22:33.810 --> 01:22:35.350 In the end it's the right thing. 01:22:35.470 --> 01:22:36.690 It's the best thing for us. 01:22:36.690 --> 01:22:38.550 But it's the hardest thing to do. 01:22:40.490 --> 01:22:42.030 I had one of the board members 01:22:42.030 --> 01:22:42.970 tell me this morning 01:22:42.970 --> 01:22:44.370 and I thought that's really good. 01:22:44.630 --> 01:22:45.630 I needed to hear that. 01:22:46.730 --> 01:22:48.010 I had one of the board 01:22:48.010 --> 01:22:49.910 because it starts with me and Mary. 01:22:51.470 --> 01:22:52.670 And then it works down 01:22:52.670 --> 01:22:53.690 to the board. 01:22:54.630 --> 01:22:55.650 And through the board 01:22:55.650 --> 01:22:58.050 they're the next level of authority. 01:22:58.350 --> 01:23:00.770 And then it goes down to the pastors under them. 01:23:01.350 --> 01:23:03.610 Then it goes down to the workers and the leaders 01:23:03.610 --> 01:23:04.890 and then the covenant partners. 01:23:05.470 --> 01:23:07.330 And it flows down. 01:23:09.490 --> 01:23:11.550 And one of the board members mentioned 01:23:11.550 --> 01:23:12.810 they said last night 01:23:14.170 --> 01:23:16.190 God asked me to do something 01:23:17.350 --> 01:23:19.610 in that wild and crazy service 01:23:21.270 --> 01:23:22.750 that I didn't want to do. 01:23:23.970 --> 01:23:26.130 And I just kind of like 01:23:26.130 --> 01:23:27.590 yeah, I don't think so. 01:23:28.090 --> 01:23:29.170 I don't think I'm going to do that. 01:23:30.550 --> 01:23:32.690 Evert and get all wild, but I ain't going to do that. 01:23:39.790 --> 01:23:42.390 I've always heard that Russians have a wild, crazy side. 01:23:48.210 --> 01:23:49.010 But you know what? 01:23:49.270 --> 01:23:51.730 That was exactly what was needed last night. 01:23:52.450 --> 01:23:52.850 Exactly. 01:23:53.950 --> 01:23:54.950 That was God. 01:23:58.350 --> 01:24:00.070 Anyway, back to the board member's story. 01:24:00.870 --> 01:24:02.090 He said so I sat there saying 01:24:02.090 --> 01:24:03.110 yeah, I don't think I'm going to do that. 01:24:05.070 --> 01:24:06.550 And he said all of a sudden 01:24:06.550 --> 01:24:08.430 I felt the anointing start to lift. 01:24:14.100 --> 01:24:15.520 Exactly what Brad said. 01:24:16.460 --> 01:24:17.300 You cannot 01:24:17.860 --> 01:24:19.220 say no to God 01:24:20.060 --> 01:24:21.680 and walk in the fullness 01:24:21.680 --> 01:24:23.000 he wants you to walk in. 01:24:23.700 --> 01:24:24.480 You can't do it. 01:24:25.100 --> 01:24:27.720 He just won't honor disobedience 01:24:27.720 --> 01:24:29.640 or rebellion. He'll just lift from it. 01:24:31.420 --> 01:24:33.680 And he said I felt the anointing start to lift. 01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:35.880 He said so I got up and did what he told me to do. 01:24:36.620 --> 01:24:37.580 You know what? 01:24:37.820 --> 01:24:40.240 That board member could have messed up last night 01:24:41.340 --> 01:24:41.940 because 01:24:41.940 --> 01:24:44.060 of the realm 01:24:44.060 --> 01:24:45.860 of authority they hold 01:24:45.860 --> 01:24:46.880 over this body. 01:24:49.340 --> 01:24:50.580 They're not the top 01:24:50.580 --> 01:24:52.820 but they're definitely not the bottom. 01:24:54.160 --> 01:24:55.920 And when a board gets stubborn 01:24:56.660 --> 01:24:58.240 God doesn't move. 01:24:58.520 --> 01:24:59.000 He lifts. 01:25:01.200 --> 01:25:02.500 It's just that important. 01:25:03.360 --> 01:25:05.260 So I want us to do something 01:25:05.260 --> 01:25:06.080 here this morning 01:25:06.860 --> 01:25:08.980 because this is a holy moment again. 01:25:09.200 --> 01:25:10.480 You can just feel it in the place. 01:25:14.860 --> 01:25:16.700 I'll have Mary join me. 01:25:18.000 --> 01:25:19.240 I'll have Pastor Igor. 01:25:19.480 --> 01:25:20.960 I don't know if you made it this morning. 01:25:21.960 --> 01:25:22.920 If you could go get her. 01:25:24.480 --> 01:25:25.740 I want us here. 01:25:26.340 --> 01:25:28.100 I want the board to 01:25:28.100 --> 01:25:29.000 surround us 01:25:30.040 --> 01:25:31.740 and the pastoral staff 01:25:31.740 --> 01:25:34.220 that is available. 01:25:34.220 --> 01:25:35.680 They're probably not all available 01:25:35.680 --> 01:25:37.020 but the ones that are available 01:25:37.020 --> 01:25:38.980 you come and surround 01:25:39.980 --> 01:25:40.940 the board. 01:25:41.280 --> 01:25:43.940 Let's just make a huddle here. 01:25:45.980 --> 01:25:47.340 And then I want 01:25:47.340 --> 01:25:49.980 the covenant partners next 01:25:49.980 --> 01:25:50.920 and the congregation 01:25:51.960 --> 01:25:54.240 and I want our pastor to pray for us. 01:26:05.630 --> 01:26:07.430 And my hearts cry 01:26:07.430 --> 01:26:08.210 right now. 01:26:08.210 --> 01:26:10.310 And I pray it's your heart's cry. 01:26:11.050 --> 01:26:12.410 God don't let us 01:26:12.410 --> 01:26:13.430 mess this up. 01:26:15.850 --> 01:26:18.070 God don't let us mess this up. 01:26:21.120 --> 01:26:22.460 There have been other 01:26:22.460 --> 01:26:25.400 spirit filled full gospel type of churches 01:26:25.400 --> 01:26:27.220 in this area and they get to 01:26:27.220 --> 01:26:28.420 about this size 01:26:29.280 --> 01:26:30.740 and they blow up. 01:26:31.860 --> 01:26:33.020 Some a little bigger 01:26:34.080 --> 01:26:35.500 and they blow up. 01:26:36.480 --> 01:26:37.500 We're no better 01:26:37.500 --> 01:26:38.380 than anybody else. 01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:40.780 And what worked on them 01:26:40.780 --> 01:26:42.940 he's going to try to use on us could have worked before. 01:26:44.880 --> 01:26:47.040 God don't let us 01:26:47.040 --> 01:26:49.340 mess this up. 01:26:54.820 --> 01:26:57.060 And I'm asking for our covering 01:26:58.500 --> 01:27:00.240 to pray over us. 01:27:03.140 --> 01:27:05.080 And I wouldn't be surprised 01:27:06.680 --> 01:27:08.940 if what he spoke about last Sunday 01:27:08.940 --> 01:27:10.300 won't come on some people 01:27:10.300 --> 01:27:12.380 and there's a cry 01:27:12.380 --> 01:27:13.520 of the Holy Spirit 01:27:14.460 --> 01:27:16.460 that goes before the Father 01:27:17.200 --> 01:27:18.680 on our behalf 01:27:19.640 --> 01:27:21.960 not knowing what we should pray for. 01:27:22.180 --> 01:27:22.800 He does. 01:27:24.100 --> 01:27:24.720 He does. 01:27:25.440 --> 01:27:28.160 And I just say that I'm not trying to work 01:27:28.160 --> 01:27:28.880 something up. 01:27:29.080 --> 01:27:32.080 But I also want freedom for if it comes on 01:27:32.080 --> 01:27:32.840 you go there. 01:27:33.640 --> 01:27:35.600 Because he knows what to pray. 01:27:36.080 --> 01:27:38.060 We don't always know what we should pray. 01:27:38.060 --> 01:27:40.180 But he will intercede. 01:27:41.200 --> 01:27:41.980 He knows. 01:27:43.000 --> 01:27:44.040 So Mary would you come 01:27:44.040 --> 01:27:45.720 Pastor Egrantanya would you come 01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:47.160 board members you come there. 01:27:47.720 --> 01:27:48.780 Thank you Jesus. 01:27:50.900 --> 01:27:51.660 You know 01:27:51.660 --> 01:27:53.440 before we do anything else 01:27:53.440 --> 01:27:54.700 this really went off. 01:27:55.160 --> 01:27:57.560 Because last night I was laying in bed 01:27:58.320 --> 01:28:00.060 and I actually replayed 01:28:01.160 --> 01:28:02.360 both sermons 01:28:02.360 --> 01:28:03.180 by Vito. 01:28:04.260 --> 01:28:05.860 Just laying in bed last night. 01:28:07.200 --> 01:28:07.600 And 01:28:09.760 --> 01:28:11.500 and I guess I missed the end of it now. 01:28:11.680 --> 01:28:13.180 I'm kind of sad I missed that. 01:28:13.380 --> 01:28:15.960 But I'll go back and watch it. 01:28:16.100 --> 01:28:16.480 But anyway 01:28:17.680 --> 01:28:19.160 as I was doing that 01:28:20.220 --> 01:28:21.780 something just really stirred in my heart 01:28:21.780 --> 01:28:22.980 and had to do with finances. 01:28:25.820 --> 01:28:27.800 And I saw myself last night 01:28:28.860 --> 01:28:30.380 all of us actually together 01:28:30.380 --> 01:28:32.020 not just me but I saw us 01:28:32.920 --> 01:28:33.320 really 01:28:34.040 --> 01:28:35.360 getting our faith together. 01:28:35.820 --> 01:28:37.780 There is something about coming together 01:28:37.780 --> 01:28:38.640 in a place of faith 01:28:39.540 --> 01:28:41.120 that makes tremendous power 01:28:41.120 --> 01:28:42.660 to work for us. 01:28:43.820 --> 01:28:45.340 Because it's these finances 01:28:45.340 --> 01:28:46.260 need to come in. 01:28:47.320 --> 01:28:47.640 They do. 01:28:49.240 --> 01:28:50.080 And so 01:28:50.760 --> 01:28:52.900 we're going to declare as a group together 01:28:52.900 --> 01:28:53.880 like we're doing right now. 01:28:54.040 --> 01:28:56.260 We're going to declare in faith 01:28:56.260 --> 01:28:57.740 in a place of unity 01:28:58.880 --> 01:29:00.380 in agreement you would say 01:29:02.100 --> 01:29:03.800 that every single need is met 01:29:04.520 --> 01:29:05.100 that every single need is met 01:29:05.100 --> 01:29:05.800 for this project. 01:29:08.320 --> 01:29:08.900 Hallelujah. 01:29:09.980 --> 01:29:11.480 And it's going to come to pass. 01:29:15.240 --> 01:29:15.820 Hallelujah.

01:29:27.000 --> 01:29:27.680 Church. 01:29:37.400 --> 01:29:39.340 And we first of all Lord 01:29:39.340 --> 01:29:41.160 we join our faith together this day. 01:29:41.320 --> 01:29:41.740 We declare 01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:44.860 that there be no lack 01:29:44.860 --> 01:29:47.020 to accomplish what you 01:29:47.020 --> 01:29:48.140 plan to accomplish. 01:29:49.420 --> 01:29:51.580 This vision shall come 01:29:51.580 --> 01:29:52.960 to pass in the name of Jesus. 01:29:53.540 --> 01:29:54.980 And we declare that 01:29:54.980 --> 01:29:56.480 every financial need 01:29:56.480 --> 01:29:57.660 shall be met. 01:29:59.040 --> 01:30:00.540 In the name of Jesus. 01:30:01.960 --> 01:30:02.440 Hallelujah. 01:30:04.080 --> 01:30:04.300 Huh. 01:30:04.860 --> 01:30:06.340 We ask you for an abundance. 01:30:07.180 --> 01:30:08.580 We ask you 01:30:08.580 --> 01:30:09.540 Huh. 01:30:10.600 --> 01:30:12.220 For millions of dollars 01:30:14.640 --> 01:30:16.420 to be able to do what you've 01:30:16.420 --> 01:30:17.700 asked us to do long. 01:30:20.140 --> 01:30:21.340 We trust you. 01:30:23.220 --> 01:30:24.800 And we declare it done 01:30:24.800 --> 01:30:25.740 in the name of Jesus. 01:30:28.300 --> 01:30:28.880 Yes. 01:30:29.940 --> 01:30:30.520 Yes. 01:30:33.360 --> 01:30:33.680 Yes. 01:30:35.240 --> 01:30:35.460 Yes. 01:30:41.260 --> 01:30:43.100 And now Lord, as you brought 01:30:43.100 --> 01:30:44.320 this group of people together 01:30:44.320 --> 01:30:45.280 and you placed 01:30:46.380 --> 01:30:48.120 Vernon and Mary over them as 01:30:48.120 -->
