Sermon Transcription
Such an honor to be with you all. I, um, how many of you have never heard me, uh, speak, okay, in, uh, live, I guess, huh? In, in whatever. So I'll give you a quick background. I, um, I forget where I was last year in Arkansas, but we were up here, really powerful. But I'm a Bethel, yep, but I just wear in Arkansas. I used to come up to Fort Smith, too. We just love it up here. It's beautiful. Louisiana's a little more flat, but, uh, good fishing, crawfish. Do you, do you all eat crawfish up here? Oh, come on, man. We're basically family. I was just in Maine. I was just up in Maine, and I was telling them, you, you know, y'all would get it, but I was telling them, because the big thing up in Maine is lobsters, and they're amazing as well. You just slam them in butter, and they're good. But I was like, man, we got lobsters. They're just a little smaller. They're, they're called crawfish, and you eat a lot more at a time. And, uh, but anyway, yep, I'm, uh, got born again in, in, uh, 1998 in Louisiana. Radically saved. Um, I, I don't know where, where the group is. These, these guys up front. What, what is the backdrop on them, man? I could just feel heaven on you guys. The covenant. Okay, yeah, I'm at rehab. Okay, yeah, I come out of the same background as I can relate, but I just felt heaven on you all in the covenant loyalty, man. That's very, very special. Um, and Hope Dealers, I'm like, this is amazing, man. Come on. This is a good, good company for sure. Um, but I'll tell you a funny story. I got born again in 98, and, uh, out of steeped in sin. I mean, um, you know, all of it, you name it. It was really, when I'm into something, I'm all in, and that usually doesn't work too good if you're on the wrong side of the track is all. So I was all in, it was just the wrong kingdom. And, um, I found myself real fast felonies, all kinds of stuff. They did 20. But anyway, Jesus found me 1998, September, actually, about a couple of weeks from now. Um, 98, I was 20 years old and wrecked my world, man. This was not some Jesus from some Christian, um, magazine or something. I ran into the living Jesus Christ. And I want to tell you anybody here tonight on the fence or backslidden, we're going to make a chance for you to just, you don't, there's nothing else in this earth other than Jesus Christ and your, your life fully over to him. There is nothing. Yeah. Everything. How many know in the world, young people hear me. Everything is just that dangling carrot before you that you'll never get in the world. But Jesus, you not only can obtain him, but he's way more than you could ever think or imagine. So I met him and I was just, I'd sit in my room and just ball and cry my eyes out. And I said, what have I been doing my whole life? He's alive. He's real friend that sticks closer to than a brother presence. The peace grass was greener. I just had no idea. So I would just love Jesus. And I figured, man, the whole world's got to know about Jesus, which they do. So this is a funny story. And so I was like, man, college group, I got born again and they were called the, the upper room. And, uh, I said, man, let's go hit the streets. I know right where to go. I just came out of it. Let's go right down to college campus. LSU was, was where I was at Baton Rouge. And, uh, it was the perfect like buffet for, for the gospel, for the lost, like it was a four-way you could literally cross one street by the circle K and you go into the hood, which was my connections and drugs and all this. You could hop another, uh, street and you'd go into the fraternity boys and all that. And then another block, the grunge punk. I mean, you could just pick it, whatever you wanted. And, uh, so I brought a college group. I'm like, this will be brilliant. This is amazing. We're more manpower. Now we can just tell them and pull them all out. Everybody's going to love Jesus. It's going to be amazing. While I pull up, I'm telling you night one, this, this didn't go in my favor. How do you know? Sometimes you have a lot of zeal, but wisdom didn't always there. Yeah. This was a lot of my early days and still, still current a lot. But, uh, so we pull up and I drove my car. That was, that was number one, not no wisdom. So they recognized my car. So I've got a college group. They're all packed in. They've just been in church their whole life. Don't know anything about the streets. Well, one of my main connections, Alvin, I remember him, he would, he'd be the guy on the bike that run deep into the hood, get the drugs and run back and forth. I knew him. He, he sees my car. He's like, Brian, he rolls up on his bike. What you need? What you need? I'm like, Alvin, man. Now I got born again. I'm trying to witness to him. I said, man, I got born again. He goes, oh, you just want some weed then? I'm not kidding. That happened. I was like, bro. And you can imagine the college groups like what is going on? I was like, this isn't working too well. So, uh, but anyway, born again, Louisiana. I'll tell you another funny one just to keep it. And then we'll, we'll just go for it and, uh, make room. Is that okay? I'm seeing a ton of carpet up here. This is perfect bodies. And then anybody loves the concrete, we've got catchers that just go for it. So, uh, how many of you are into the power of the Holy spirit? Yeah, me too, man. So is Jesus. Obviously I was reading recently when they came to get him before and he's moving powerfully. Listen to him. He's moving right now. If the news is loud in some facet, you better believe heaven's already a step ahead. Always. You can always bank on it. Just depends on what channel you're listening to. He's, he's up to something that I can, I can feel it. You feel the potency of him, the revelation that I'm just, I really, really like it. I'm in a weird way, very intrigued and excited right now. And you don't look at the newspapers and you wouldn't think so, but he's, he's really up to something. You see Moses, uh, brought the staff commissioned by heaven under two signs. Remember the staff to a snake. God said, I'll give you two wonders before Pharaoh, the staff to a snake. Love your beard, bro. That is sharp, man. This guy's a rock and the anointed beard. Uh, where are you from? Arkansas, Dallas, Texas. No way, dude. What have I met you before? Oh, no way. I knew it was more than the beard. I'm feeling drawn to you, man. I keep looking at you and then I, uh, you got to watch that for all I'll notice. It is though anointed though, for sure. The beard I've got so many grays, I can't, I can't do it. Uh, wow. So Dallas, Texas, what are y'all doing over there? Um, are you upper room or connect with anybody? Sorry to put you on the spot. I'm super like laid back or whatever. Uh, okay. That's awesome, man. Wow. Hopefully I get to chat with you later and super honored to have you in the school, but I'll be in Dallas next month with upper room and those guys. And hopefully we can see you guys. That's awesome, man. But Moses, uh, staff slings it down, snake grabs it, pulls it back up, hand leprosy in his jacket, right? Two wonders. You noticed heaven. That's awesome. And heaven will sneak in at some of the most inopportune times to just so you know. So I don't, I don't care. Go for it. If he touches you. But you notice Moses throws a staff down snake, uh, hand leprosy, this, that, and the other. Then the darkness comes to mimic. The darkness always tries to play catch up. You guys tracking with me? So in the earth, you better believe heavens. He's not ordaining a lot of what's going on by any means, but he's allowing no way. What's up? I'm seeing familiar faces. He's, he, nothing initiates outside of his knowing, obviously God, and he's up to something powerful. So, um, but he's moving in a very powerful way. And I just want to encourage you guys. I was reading recently, right before they captured Jesus to take him to the cross. And, uh, they said, who we're looking for Jesus Christ, read it. It's an only one of the gospels. And he says, I am he three words because I am he power hits them. They all hit the deck. People are like, I don't know slain in the spirit. When it happens to you, you'll know about it, you know? And not that it's about that, but it happens. And I'm telling you, I've seen people's world get flipped upside healing and bodies, dreams, visions, destinies that just flip upside down in an instant by the power of God. He just loves to move and touch. Sometimes it's the simplest inner emotion to I'm into all of it. I'm not in the manifestation, but the power of God is very real. And so Jesus, he, it's like he was letting them know one last time before he knew he had to go fulfill the cross. He says, I am he three words, power. All the soldiers hit the deck. It says they get back up. Remember Judas led them to him. They get back up and it's almost like they, they didn't know what just happened. And they ask again, it's like they had forgot what just happened. This is, we're looking for Jesus Christ. He says, I am he, but that time he, he dialed back his power and he let him take him because it was his time. But I'm telling you, man, when, when I feel like it lately, uh, Jesus is about to say, I am he up in here and for his kingdom purpose. Yeah. And, uh, you can feel it, man. Power is going to flow. I don't care. Um, and not in me. I know that it's in Jesus Christ. Acts 10 38 says he went about doing good, healing all that were oppressed of the devil. I don't care how long you've had it, how big it seems to be, how impossible there's no mountain that can't be thumped by the blood of Jesus in an instant. I'm telling you, man, I can feel his authority. And, uh, and I just feel it lately. Like the enemy's trying to overplay his hand of fear in the earth. And, and I'm just looking at it. The Lord's like, no, sir. The fear of the Lord is what's coming. The reverential, all of him period. That's what we bow to. There's, there's an angel. It's very interesting in revelation proceeding to the end times. It says he's flying through the air to bring the good news. It's a last day message. You're going to hear come on the forefront and he says, fear God. I'm telling you the fear of the Lord. It's not always a happy topic or popular, but man listened to her, bring his power and his kingdom that they sang about. And it'll set up dominion Matthew 24 before the 10, the parables of the 10 versions, the end end time infrastructure, Jesus gives the very last thing he says before he returns is you'll notice the gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world, which is salvation, but not that alone. It's also the good news of the kingdom. There's a, there's a dominion taking place of him setting foot on the earth and taking over. And you can feel it, man. I really like it. That authority of him, that severity side starting to come forth in a beautiful way. Don't, don't get me wrong. He's full of love and mercy and kindness and patience, but he does not play games, you know, and you can feel it like the enemy's just trying to bring fear. I don't like that. I'll tell you another funny, we'll keep it light. I can just feel authority to it. And man, I just love Jesus. I just want him to be glorified and pleased. But I'll tell you a fun one. The other day I was in the airport. Uh, yeah, we just got back from New York. That's what it was. I was in Atlanta with my daughter. Oh, my son, Judah, you want to stand? Uh, if you give him a hand. Yeah. 17, he's shaving now. It's like, wow. So I could feel it. I was telling my children in passing, cause I can feel lately just with what the enemy is trying to bear down into the earth. And I'm okay with it if that's your reality. But when it gets sticky is when you start trying to force your reality on me. And I'm not good with that. I still love you, but your whole world don't, don't it's been asking the Lord, help me. Hold this because I can feel it. I've been coming close to lines where again, love. I don't even know. We love centers. We just hate the sin. You love the wicked. You hate wickedness. Hebrews one nine, Psalm 45 seven says Jesus, because listen, because Jesus Christ, the flawless Lamb of God, this is because he hated wickedness and loved righteousness because of that. These are two mind rest main recipes we need in this hour more than ever before on a higher level. We need a greater depth of hating wickedness, living pure and Holy, keeping our eyes clean. You hear me? And I just had a dream. I'm going to stay in this a little bit, but just live in pure man. Cause heaven's want to step on the spotless bride and display his power, but he will not step in polluted waters. It's not going to happen. And he still loves you the same. I'm not saying even your salvation at times won't be a question, but, uh, Jesus hated wickedness, loved the wicked, but wickedness loved righteousness. Because of that, it says the father looked down and anointed him with the oil of gladness, which means to be painted or smeared with. I used to paint. I wasn't a real good one, but, but I know what it means. It's like really sloshing it up. Good. I'm getting a good coat on in the eternal oil of joy. Once it's painted upon you, it doesn't come off. And that's what Jesus walked in always. And it says the Bible, it, it brought him up beyond his peers. Are you guys tracking with me? So anyway, I'm in the, uh, airport. We had just got back and, uh, a lady was, it was a stewardess on the plane. That's what it wasn't. She, you could tell she was in fear and I'm okay with that. Again, if that's your reality, I'll meet you where you're at. I don't care. But when it, but it's such a reality that you want to enforce, you try and put it on me. I'm like, nah, that's just not my world. I don't do that. Listen, I do this right here. This is what we do in this hour and like never before. Yeah. And, uh, and I get, listen to me, I'm, I'm, I'm close with all kinds of pastors and streams travel all over. I hear the stories. I know what's real. I'm not naive, but also this is the standard. This is the reality. I don't, you, I don't care. Statistics latest, this, I don't, none of it. If it doesn't line up here, it's just, it's a non-existent. You know what I mean? It does. It has no weight. And so, um, you can't let circumstances and stories you hear start to dictate your belief pattern. This is the plumb line. You guys hear me? This thing swings from heaven is the perfect upright of heaven's voice, his will, his purpose, his heart, and everything else. And just because in the earth, something swing a little out of camp from it a little out of whack. And it seems real to you in the moment. You don't begin to adhere outside of this. Does that make sense? And so now more than ever, listen to me, we've got to dig deep in the word, old new Testament songs, probably go deep, deep, deep become so hungry and infatuated with this thing. All the versions. I don't care. A lot of people are doing the, uh, the passion translation lately. I love it. So it's awesome. Super, uh, expressive, um, new living, whatever works for you, but devour this thing. Um, so this lady, uh, she was sweet, uh, you know, tried to be in, and I'm on the plane, my daughter's next to me and I forgot, honestly, the whole mandatory mask thing. So I'm in prayer and, uh, and if you are into them, I, again, if it's your world, go for it. I don't care. I'm not, some of them look really cool. You can wear a bunch of them. I don't have a problem with it. But what I have a problem with is when fear though, is trying to become the reality over this. I don't, I don't like that. And that's what I'm trying to tactfully in love, bring on the forefront back that what Jesus did, his power, what he has available for us to walk in while being wise. I'm not saying, you know, be foolish. So anyway, uh, but this lady was extra, uh, in fear and that's okay. I don't mind. I don't mind. She had like the mask, the shield, all of it, man, just, you know, walking up the aisles and, uh, and I, she looked great in it. Pretty lady. I don't care. I'm with my daughter, but I forgot. And so I'm in prayer. That's another no, no, man. Cause I, I just want to be with him. And when you interrupt that, my children will tell you, that's just don't do that. There's nothing more valuable. I do than be with him. I want to encourage you guys set your life up that way. There's nothing more valuable you can do every day than to be with him. Uh, what was it? Charles and John Wesley, their mom, they said she would lock up in prayer. And she said, don't even come unless the house is burning down. Don't come bothering. Cause she knows she knew the value of being with him, his presence, his voice is everything. Listen to me. There's nothing more valuable than daily bread. The man from heaven. So anyway, she's like, she comes up to me. She's like, sir, sir, just jabs me in the arm. I'm like, Whoa, she kind of startled me. She goes mask on mask on. I'm like, Oh yeah. Sorry. I forgot. And then I've got this other glitch that's genius on planes. If you fly a bunch, you just, there's this one little writing in there that says if you're eating or drinking, you don't have to wear it while you're eating or drinking. So it was just Einstein. It's totally a revelation from heaven. I'll keep this big bag of almonds in my lap and just go one at a time, real slow, kind of flip them over, look at them. And, uh, and that gives me by a lot of that usually works, but this lady was adamant, man. So, uh, I think, yeah, she only told me that one time. And, uh, and then for, you know, it, um, anyway, but, but I go to, I go to get off the plane and security gets on the plane. And I'm like, I saw, I normally let my daughter go. Cause you know, you do the gentlemen thing, women go first and all this. But I said, babe, get behind me. I didn't want them to intimidate her. I saw security. I was like, nah, man. And then I could feel it. I snapped. It probably, it might've been some of the Holy spirit. I hope it is. We'll find out one day it was, I was in truth, but I want to find that balance of love kindness, but, but also authority. And so I'm like, man, nah, nah, you're going to get security on me because your world. So you're so bent up by it. Nah, I'm good. So, so this guy, he was cool, but I said, uh, cause that's what I don't like was starting to rule people. Are you guys tracking me? That's what I love. I love it. We've got to go for faith. Listen to me, Paul, just get back into this. Okay. This is what's relevant. Always. This is the standard. This is the plummet, Paul, the apostle Paul, who's filled with the same Holy spirit. You and I are believes in Jesus Christ. He shipwrecks out of Malta. He knew it was going to happen. An angel came to him in the night into the book of acts. They go to make a fire. Apostle Paul, they're going to make s'mores on this Island. He grabbed some wood, deadly Viper. This was not a grass snake, deadly Viper. This is your, and I Bible into the book of acts, ready for yourself latches on to him. This is not some COVID. Okay. And I'm sorry, I'm going there. I'm just, I'm honest though. Like, and again, again, I know, I know some of the reality with it, but also I'll just tell you straight up. I was on the phone the other day with, um, uh, you guys know Roy fields. He's an amazing worship leader. He's a good friend. He's a tree. He's a hoot, man. I guess a riot. So we're on FaceTime catching up. Been a while. And he, uh, he's like, bro, what kind of, how bad is it? If you have to be tested to know if you even had her or not, he just tells me that that's a good point, man. But I do know others just so you know, I get the full spectrum. I know others that have been hit hard, lost lives, pastors. I'm telling, I'm telling you from what a real full spectrum, but also whatever's real does not override this. That's all I'm saying. So Paul, as believers, listen to me in this hour, we've got to, we've got to get back to fasting prayer, Holy Ghost field, Bible believing authentic. You know what I'm saying? Like we need that walk on the earth. And that's kind of what I was wanting to security got to feel. I think I'm hoping that I'm hoping to have it. Give me a check on that one. But, uh, because I was like, no, we're going here now that their reality is fear, right? Which again, I don't mind that my heart goes out to them. I just don't like when they're trying to over-impose it when we have faith. And so Paul deadly Viper latches onto him. He didn't flip out, run for the Germex bottle. I'm just being honest with you. Okay. Again, don't, don't take this. I don't mean to step on toes. I'm just, I want to crush fear and have us Jesus Christ, his blood hit the globe, the most powerful substance to ever be shed stripes by his stripes. You were healed. You know what I mean? And I like, I love that because that's what's in heaven. He didn't run off. Anyway, he shakes the deadly Viper off. He's like, get the marshmallows and Hershey's like went straight off to s'mores. Totally fine. They on the Island, they thought they were gods. They're like, how did you live a deadly Viper latched onto you? Mark 16 out of the voice of Jesus, red letters. You're in our Bible says the same. Jesus says, he sends them out. He says, you'll do mighty signs. You'll preach the gospel, heal the sick, deadly serpents won't hurt you. You'll drink poisonous things, deadly, poisonous things. They will not phase you. Listen, I've been in cancer, AIDS, open wounds, sick villages, whatever it is. And I just want to again, raise expectancy, faith in the body of Christ, get that tenacity back into the belief of the word. Cause you, you begin to yield to whatever you yield to becomes your reality and you become submitted to by default. Just so you know, I'm serious. If you, if you yield and submit to fear by default, you become subject to it and whatever's under that umbrella. Are you guys tracking with me? Faith gives your umbrella. Then you're like, oh my goodness, stuff's just rolling off of you. You don't know how you just, you know, full of power, heaven. And then you're the, the sphere of life, light, and power. So this guy gets me off. He's cool. But I realized this lady had caused the narrative to sound like we were some big troublemakers, me and my daughter. I'm like, oh my gosh, man, I was in prayer. I forgot. And she's got security waiting on me. I was like, nah, we're not doing that right now. So I said, I said, listen to me, man, just so you know, I'm super kind, considerate. I'm not a controversial guy, but it went there. And I saw, I said, listen to me and I'm telling you the body of Christ. You can feel it. The Lord is, has the body of Christ starting to raise up in a very, um, authoritative way, not out of arrogance ever complete humility, complete meekness, sincere love, consideration, considering others better than yourselves. This is all in the full context of scripture, but also with authority in heaven. I was just reading in acts 13 in full of the spirit and power. We cannot come off the supernatural right now at all. We need to go deeper into the fullness of this word. I was reading in acts 13, um, and I'll finish the story with the security guy. Um, I just, I'm feeling pulled and, uh, but I was reading the acts 13. Okay. New covenant. Okay. That everybody calls the grace dispensation. And it is, it's, it's God's love, but also the Bible is clear. It says behold the kindness and severity of God. He's full and all of it's perfect love. But Paul acts 13, it says him and Barnabas are rocking through preaching the gospel. And it says all of a sudden they roll up into a region pathos, where there's a false prophet. And, uh, if you read closely, it says the false prophet, a sorcerer, basically he attached himself to the governor. And that's what a lot of what you're seeing in our modern day, you're seeing that it's all, we all know what's going on. It's just totally, we don't wrestle in his flesh and blood. It's dark powers. Obviously we love humanity, but there's a stirring up of it. But what you're seeing is dark fueled based agendas that are attaching to government because the government has the authority and say so over regions. So the very same thing that happened in acts 13, same thing happened with a Haman. Remember? And then Mordecai, he tried to, you see it all throughout scripture. Well, current day, this is happening. These demonic fueled, um, things are coming up and attaching to get through government to, to, uh, force their agenda. And I'm like, whatever we just do heaven. So it happened in acts 13, it says a sorcerer, a false prophet attaches himself to the governor. I guarantee if that guy was like a librarian, he wouldn't attach himself to him. They want to, they want authority to try and force it over the people. So Paul loving, gracious, forgiving Paul, and this is stuff you're going to start seeing again out of love. But the church, we are the, we are the salt of the earth. We're filled with the light, the kingdom of heaven that cannot be shaken. We're the only ones, how many of you are born again in here? Yeah, come on. We are the only ones with the kingdom that can't be shaken period. That's all we need to get the harvest and the people born again. Cause anybody outside of any other, you know, in any other sphere, anything they touch can be shaken and will be. But, uh, Paul, he comes through and it says the governor that this, this false prophet attached himself to was intrigued about their message because it was new. So he says, I kind of want to hear what they're talking about the good news of and the sorcerer. We're y'all just in that recently or they're just hard. They're just excited about it. I guess. But anyway, uh, the false prophet prophet gets in the governor's ear and he tries to make crooked the past. He says, no, he trusted divert the situation to get away from Paul and Barnabas. He was just pressing against this situation. Paul, if you read closely acts 13, it says Paul, or it says Saul also known as known as Paul comma full of the Holy spirit. That's the key right now. I'm telling you, we've got to stay full of the Holy spirit full. It says, Paul, full of the Holy spirit turned and looked the sorcerer in the eye. He says, you son of the devil full of everything, everything wrong. Basically. I curse you basically on the spot. Sorry, but this is, this is just, this is just as what it is. And it says blindness will come upon you for a season. Isn't it interesting in the encounter when Paul was persecuting the church, what happened to him? Blindness remember three days so that he carried something in that realm, but he could also release it. That that's a very powerful dynamic in the spirit that what you tap into in the secret and has been imparted to you by God, you carry in a, in a powerful kingdom impartation way. But anyway, curses, the man goes blind. And it says right after that, the governor believed because he saw, he didn't preach the gospel or anything yet. It says, because he saw that the supernatural display, all that being said, we've got to have the Holy spirit. I'm seeing, uh, there was a major church situation with a pastor that the government was coming against in two nights ago. I went into a dream where I saw it wasn't going to turn out good for the pastor, which I wish it would. We're all kingdom and body, you know, whatever, whether our beliefs are the same as a different denomination, but they don't believe in the Holy spirit and the supernatural and the power. So they're going at it in the natural legal against legal. And that's not how we wrestle. You wrestle again. We don't wrestle in his flesh and blood, but in the spirit. So we need, that's what it says. Paul full, not halfway, not a slightly half full tank full slam full of the Holy spirit turns to him, looked him in the eye and dominates the situation, reversed it. Governor gets born again on the spot. And so in this hour, as you're seeing these things elevate, we need the church full of the Holy spirit. You won't win in the natural. And we don't, that's just not how we fight anyway. So anyway, this, this guy, I'm like, look, uh, he's trying to tell me his, his world. And I said, um, I said, look, man, I know what's y'all's reality. And I think it's, don't have a problem with it, but let me tell you what's my reality and what I believe in, what I know. I'm a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I have seen legs short. I started telling this guy, my daughter was like, Oh, she said, Oh, here we go. And, uh, but I think they need to hear that, man. I'm just like, what are we doing anyway anymore? Like, let's just go for it. I'm kind of don't care anymore. Let's just kick it in fifth gear. Yeah. Like either this thing's real or it's not, you know what I mean? Let's wake up tomorrow morning, fall madly in love with Jesus Christ. Just do what he tells you to do and let the chips fall out where they do while you're loving people, you love them, but also it's like, you know, I think it's healthy to see authority and power. And so, uh, and just having just people full of heaven. So, um, yeah, I was like, listen, man, I, you know, basically I get what's real to you and what you all are trying to implement. I apologize. I forgot, but let me tell you what, uh, I know what's your reality, but let me tell you what's my reality, what I know. I'm a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I have seen deaf ears open by the power of the Holy spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. We're in the Atlanta airport. People going everywhere. I said, I've seen legs shorter than the other grow out by the power of the Holy spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. Cause we're not, we're not going to mix words now that we're going there. They came to me. So I'm like, we're, we're going here and you're trying to force your agenda and what you believe. I get it. Government's behind it. That's fine. But I've got a higher government. And, and please hear me. I'm not condoning go, go out and be some Maverick, you know, I get it. Like be compliant when you can. My whole point is, is fear. If you're not careful is trying to, you know, have its way and grip people. And I'm not a big fan of that. That's all. And another thing you want to do is be consumed with this and the newsreel of heaven, not what's going on down here. And so anyway, security guys, like he goes, amen, amen. He was like, yeah, amen. And we shook hands, you know, bless them. We went on and had a good day, but yeah, but we just, we got to get back. Listen to fasting prayer filled with the Holy spirit and power. Don't come off of it. Pray in the Holy ghost, pray in tongues. Say, well, my mind doesn't really understand it real well. The Bible doesn't ask your mind to understand it. It's a mystery. You know, we got to get back to the foundational things and stay filled with the spirit of Ephesians six. I'll share this quick dream I had today for tonight. And then I won't keep you too, too long. And then we'll just lay hands. Is that okay? Yeah. I saw you already doing it. So I figured it was a green light. Yeah. And, um, if you all want prayer, we'd love to lay hands on you and we'll have catchers and just go for it. I don't even know the laying on of hands is very biblical. There's a transference that happens. Yep. Uh, the Bible says you will lay hands on the sick and they will recover there. Paul even says those gifts that were imparted to you, he writes us in the word by the laying on of hands. We've seen it. There's supernatural gifts of heaven that get deposited in an instant by the laying on of hands. Um, apostle, uh, Paul and Barnabas received their call as apostles by the laying on of hands. They were prophets and teachers in acts 13. It says, the Holy spirit said, set apart for me, Paul and Barnabas, so I can send them sending as an apostle, fasted, prayed, hands laid on elders of the sick lay hands, uh, elders, sort of like hands on the sick. Anyway, I'm just trying to give you a lot of scripture for it, but the laying on of hands is super biblical and profound. And, uh, and again, I just want to crush the whole, the last thing you need to worry about is COVID when we're laying hands, I'm gonna breathe on people. I don't care. Uh, you'll get the Holy spirit. That's, that's about it. Into the book of John, it says, Jesus, um, breathed on the disciples. You say, where's that in the Bible? He, he breathed on them and that they would got filled with the Holy spirit. It's the Ruach breath of God. You know, when the Holy spirit came, there was a mighty wind. And I'm telling you, I think many of you need a fresh baptism of the Holy spirit, dreams, revelations, divine encounter, a deep connect with heaven. The whole point, first and foremost of all of this is to fall madly in love with him. And the Holy spirit does that better than anybody. He's so infatuated with Jesus Christ. He'll possess you start to produce holiness in you, which sin separates from God. So he's like, yeah, no, we got to get rid of, get rid of that first, you know, and he, he gives you a grace for it. And then it, it, he, he begins to remove it, straighten the crooked paths of our life. And Jesus comes in fully deep, deep intimacy with him. And then you can obey more clearly because you hear his voice more clearly. So anyway, I had this dream real quick, uh, powering up today. You guys get dreams, uh, how it works. Yep. Um, and it was very simple. I saw a white belt be put on and tied into a knot, which is, um, honestly, I'll just tell you it was a karate belt, which is, I don't know that probably really makes sense to somebody here too, but I knew it had to do with preparation in warfare and stuff that some of you may going through because karate is a fighting type tactic, but the white belt is purity and the tying the knot, making a covenant with purity. You, when you tie a knot, it's a covenant with such a thing, but also it's the, the belt of truth out of Ephesians six. I've seen this before. When I see belts, there's something to do with the spirit of truth. The Holy spirit wants to bring again right now that there's been deception and crooked ideas and ideologies, which is okay. We've all been there, but truth and purity, does that make sense to you guys? The Bible says you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. And Jesus describes the Holy spirit as the spirit of truth, capital letters. So we're going to pray for a fresh baptism of the Holy spirit, who is the spirit of truth. And listen, man, old revelation will come that will unlock lies, rejection, false ideologies, things that keep you bound and also healing and bodies. And there's going to be freedom, but also purity produced. And, uh, I've really been seeing him after that. And just over and over in different ways by revelation, he's really producing purity. So I want to touch on that real quick and then we'll make time to pray together. Are we, we're somewhere else tomorrow, right? Okay. Okay. Nice. Do you all know where we're going tomorrow? Awesome. I'm following you. Okay. Yes. Any, you don't know. Okay. You want to announce it quick before we, the bomb goes off later. Yeah. Tomorrow we'll be at my church. Uh, one 65 Cove chapel road. It's in Springfield. It's up around Damascus area. So seven there. So it's, uh, it's kind of out in the middle of nowhere. So, you know, don't, don't feel like that. I'm lost, you know, just keep driving and you will come to, I always tell people it's, it's, it's one of those churches that if you're coming to our church, you're coming to our church. That's so awesome. Yeah, man. Come on. We'll just shift it. And I was just up in, uh, Indiana and it was an outdoor tent deal. It was a blast, man. It felt, I felt like R. W. Schambach or something like some old tent revival. And, uh, did any of you know who he is? R. W. Schambach. Oh my goodness. A lot of you don't. This guy, you got to look him up on, on some old videos if you can. He was a worship leader for A. A. Allen, these old tent revivalists, gunners. He would take five gallon buckets of oil. He wouldn't get the little, you know, the forehead anoint you with oil. He would get five gallon buckets that come through the sick line and he would dunk his hands, wrists deep, almost elbow deep in a five gallon bucket and just slap oil all over you. Wham. Be healed in Jesus name. Crazy miracles power. So, uh, it was awesome. We're at, uh, uh, Indiana and bodies are just flying off into the grass by the, and there's lightning bugs flying around. It was just awesome, man. Lightning bugs. I had one tracking with me while I was preaching. They love the glory. So real quick, purity. Um, Jesus is purifying his bride, man, like never before. And he's just, all he's asking for, he gives the grace and the empowerment is by his blood. You can't live pure outside of him and cultivating and sustaining a deep, intimate life with him, which has got real serene. I guess the AC shut off. And, uh, so intimacy is how it's fueled. Bible says throw off in Hebrews, those sins that so easily entangle us looking unto him. So there's always a cooperation of looking to him as how you keep them off of you, but also ask for you to throw them off. Does that make sense? A lot of us think, well, if the Lord wants it, he'll do it. And it's like, no, he's he'll ask the Holy spirit of gentlemen and he'll woo and ask again. But the more you, you shun and aren't pliable, his voice will get more obscure in that area. And you'll start to justify these things. He still loves you. Um, but also Jesus can't fully walk where there's tainted waters. That's why I sent John the Baptist first to make straight the crooked paths. And then he says, yeah, yeah, those are pure and straight. Watch it. He steps in fully. We'll just as so in our individual lives, does it, does it happen this way? The Holy spirit, if we allow him to have full reign and get those little weeds out and those little foxes that the song of Solomon mentions, they so easily spoil the vine. You know, um, uh, I look at as, is it mentioning Jesus? Cause Jesus comes in the new Testament. He says, I am divine. I am divine. He says, abide in me and that my words abide in you and you'll bear much fruit. So listen, if you, if you need more fruit in your life success, if you want to call it that, whatever it is, all you do is you, you abide in him. If fruit, then fruit happens. You can't stop it from happening. You ever seen those believers? They just got born again. And you're wondering how they're just shooting off like a rocket and the things of God is fruit all around them. They're just in a glory bubble. And they're just so madly in love with Jesus. They abide in him, but it's before they get caught up in the Martha stuff of thinking, Oh, I've got to do the fruit myself. I've got to produce the fruit and make it look just right. And it's like, that's when it diminishes. You can't even produce the fruit. You look to him and abide in him. Jesus, you're everything to me. I'm useless without your presence. I'm useless without your voice. Just speak. You are the manna that comes down from heaven. And, uh, I'm telling you, you want your whole life, all your chips in that basket. I don't care what your career is, your title, how long you've been around or been a believer or not. That's you and I'm all in there. I'm so grateful he made it that way. The first and greatest commandment is to love him with all of your heart, mind and soul. And, um, but from that, he, he produces purity, but that vine, it says in song of Solomon, that it's the little foxes that come and destroy it. It's the little things. How many of you know that the devil, it doesn't say it's the big bears or the lions that like the devil's sharp. He's not gonna, you know, he doesn't come at you. If you're a believer, which most are in here. Um, he doesn't come at you with these blatant, crazy sins. He starts with the little ones. Just open your eye gate a little bit more. Go ahead and click over that one, one further on the internet or into that search bar or whatever it may be. It's okay to hear that. Listen to that. Listen to me, start cutting people off. Listen, if Jesus hated wickedness and if it, and if it has to come with the wicked person, love them, but I'm not, I'm not into your wickedness. So you got to go to, I'm serious. Like you got to get real diligent about it. Vigilant. Like I remember when I was, I was born again. Um, it's funny. My dad used to tell me this. I didn't realize it, but, uh, we built custom homes for years, about a decade before full-time ministry, uh, got so busy. I couldn't do it anymore. And I got born again though. And I fell in love with Jesus. I got filled with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit's Holy, you know, and just any more life. I'm like, man, what pleases you? Holy spirit. I read the other day that those that are controlled by the spirit, even their thoughts are pleasing to him. That's what you think about, what you meditate upon, what you allow to get around you and in your world. And I can, you can start to, the more you yield your life to that, to that, what pleases you, you start to realize what doesn't please him. I'm so start washing me. Holy spirit. I was in the Brownsville revival, uh, two years. I sort of graduated Bible college, Steve Hill, one of the baddest evangelists yet to ever hit the globe. Beautiful. He would tell us, he said, look, all I do when I mess up or drop the ball, we've all fallen short of the glory of God. He said, I just looked at you, say, wash me, Jesus, make me new. And he gets back and he doesn't do it anymore. The repentance is very simple. It's just turning. You were going this way. You allowed this little Fox, you kick it out and you turn the other way. I was in Dominican Republic, uh, one time preaching and there was a Fox. He was, he was in the form of a Chihuahua though. And I was running, getting my cardio in. And, uh, and I found a perfect block, but this Chihuahua was like, he thought he was a Doberman pincher or something. I'm like, bro, you weigh like two pounds. I was like, don't get, you know, proud here. And I love animals, but he just needed to be humbled. So I'm running and, uh, he'd start snapping at my ankles and I'm like, bro, I can end your world real fast. And so I, so I was like, we need to definitely have an agreement. Cause I'm going to be here all week. I need to run here. So sure enough, he came up bold again and I had some big old Nike Air Max's on and he just came at the perfect time. I was in back stride. He went, he went spinning like a tornado that way. And he was fine. But then I came back around the block and he just hung out by the curb and kind of gave me a look. We had a mutual agreement. He was like, I'm not as big as I think I am. And, uh, but the little foxes, you want to do that way. Just give them a shoe in the mouth and you say, well, but it's, you know, it's been around so long where it's connected to so-and-so. It doesn't matter, man. The Holy Spirit's the most valuable relationship you'll ever have. Your, your friendship with Jesus Christ is the most valuable one you'll ever have. And sometimes you got to just, you know, cut a line in the sand and move it. But, um, but those little foxes will come in and start to eat at the vine and diminishes. And then you're abiding in the vine is, is polluted, you know, and that fruit starts to wean and, and your most importantly, your relationship with Jesus starts to, starts to fade and you become dull to things that used to be sharp to and conviction. You guys remember that? And, uh, so we want it to come back again. The beauty of Jesus is this pulpit sweet, man. Oh, what this is. I just noticed. This is awesome. Do you know what the, I know the pastors back there, what is it? Yeah, that's gorgeous. Did you have it custom made? I figured, bro, that's bad to the bone. My custom mine will start working and that's awesome. But, um, but anyway, you guys get, get the point. We just want to let him have full reign. And sometimes it's the simplest reassessment readjustment, yielding, becoming pliable again to him and the Holy Spirit having his way. Joy. I'll start breaking out. So awesome. Let's stand and welcome him. And then we'll, uh, we'll pray quick. See what the Holy Spirit will do. Yeah. Thank you, Jesus. Maybe the worship team could come. It would be awesome. Joy unspeakable and full of glory. Yeah. Thank you, Jesus. Just put your hand on your heart. We'll pray together corporately. Sometimes this helps that the Lord washes. Thank you, Jesus. And bring the spirit of truth. Just say this after me, Lord Jesus wash me and make me new be glorified in my life. Holy spirit make straight the crooked paths. Now come into my life. Jesus have your way and your precious name.

Guerin serves as the senior leader of Ascend Church, where his preaching emphasizes a deep relationship with Jesus, the power of God’s presence, and preparing believers for Christ’s return. He founded Ascend Academy, a ministry school, and travels globally, speaking at conferences and on platforms like TBN and GOD-TV, often highlighting signs, wonders, and prophetic insights.
