EARS TO HEAR

Pastor Marcos Marrero

November 24, 2006

Opening in worship and prayer, the message calls the church to spiritual alertness: Jesus is coming soon, and the Spirit is speaking now. Using Psalm 19, the teacher shows how God’s glory and voice are constantly revealed—both in the heavens (spiritual) and the firmament (natural). Like the sun that none can escape, God’s revelation is always present; our task is to tune our “receiver” to His frequency.

The teaching contrasts spiritual wisdom with simplicity/foolishness (Psalm 19:7–14; Proverbs 1:1–7). God’s Word converts the soul, enlightens the eyes, and warns us; if we heed it, we gain reward and freedom from dominating sins. Ignoring the Spirit’s rebuke invites avoidable calamity (Proverbs 1:20–33). Believers are urged to cultivate an intimate relationship with God (the “law of your mother”) and also learn to recognize His broader, Spirit-language guidance for the church and the times (the instruction of the Father).

Romans 2:12–16 underscores that God’s moral law is written on human hearts; how much more accountable are believers who have Scripture and the Spirit. Destiny is described as God’s prewritten “blueprint”; only the Holy Spirit holds the full file and can lead each person into it. Therefore, hearing and obeying His voice—not mere activity—is essential.

The message emphasizes deliverance and inner healing as prerequisites to destiny: the Spirit exposes secret faults, generational patterns, and strongholds so the Lord can heal the brokenhearted and set captives free. Finally, Numbers 28:2 introduces God’s “appointed times.” Seasons of open doors require focused obedience and readiness; missing them can mean costly delays. The word closes with a pastoral charge to reject distractions, pursue wisdom (especially in Proverbs), heed rebuke quickly, and engage in prayer and consecration so that God may entrust greater glory and assignment in these last days—followed by a prayer for healing, freedom, and steadfast response to the Holy Spirit.

Objective:

Equip believers to “have ears to hear” the Holy Spirit, recognize God’s glory and guidance in both the spiritual and natural realms, and respond in obedience so they can walk in their God-given destiny, avoid snares, and be ready for Christ’s soon return.

Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above:

How's everybody tonight? Blessed. Amen. Praise God. God is good. Hallelujah. Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus, what a privilege and honor it is to come in and uh and to celebrate you, Lord Jesus, for you are life. The word says that in you we live and move and have our existence. Without you, we're dead. Without you, there's no life. Without you, there's no joy. Without you, there's no peace. Without you, there's no uh uh life, light, nothing. Lord, everything will be so dark and so dreary without you. So, we do thank you that you are the light of the world. And we pray Lord that you will your life will arise tonight within our souls, within our hearts, Father God, that we may be able to hear for the Holy Spirit is speaking and he's speaking loudly and he's speaking forcefully and he's telling us that you are soon to come, Lord Jesus, and that we are to get ready. So, as we prepare tonight, Father in heaven, I pray that that you would bless each and every one of us here tonight, including myself, that you would grant us ears to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us tonight, that we may be able to understand and to receive with our hearts. Father God, not just with our minds, but with our hearts what the Holy Spirit is impressing on each and every one of us here tonight. Father, I take authority over every uh demonic stronghold, Father God, that may be over any of us over here tonight that will keep us from hearing what the Holy Spirit is saying. I bind it, Father God, according to the word of Isaiah. I condemn every spirit that will keep us from hearing the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Father God. And I thank you and I praise you, Father God, for releasing us now to receive, Father God, the truth of your word, Father God, as spoken through the gospel of Jesus Christ by the Apostle Paul, Father God, when he proclaimed your gospel that you gave to him personally. And we thank you for we receive no other gospel, Father God. We receive no other Jesus and no other spirit, but that the true and living son of God, the word that came flesh, Father God, and we receive him now right here in our midst, Father God, to teach us and to lead us and to guide us into all truth. For your word, Father, is true. So bless your word now as he goes out and thank you for blessing those of us who will receive it. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. We're going to start uh with Psalm uh 19 vers uh well actually we're going to read the whole psalm but we're going to read the first four verses in Psalm 19. And what I'm uh the Lord has given me to share with tonight is about having ears to hear what the Holy Spirit will say to the churches. If you read in the um uh the letters uh the seven letters to the churches in revelation in I think it's revelation chapter 2 and chapter 3 each letter closes with let him who has ears hear what the spirit is saying to the churches. We need to understand that the Holy Spirit is speaking and that we need to be able to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying and able to uh and to be able to understand because how many know that if if we miss a sign in the freeway or on the street, we can get into trouble. You know, they pass this new year coming up, there's going to be all kinds of new laws that are going to be in the book. And none of us are probably going to know what the new laws are. But guess what? We break it, we pay for it. Whether we know it or not, it doesn't make any difference. We're liable to that. And so it is with the word of God. We need to know what the word of God says. In Psalm 19:es 1-4, it says, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows his handy work. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world. What David is saying there that the heavens speaking about the spiritual realm declare the glory of God. The glory of God is a revelation of God. When when God reveals himself, there's light. There's a glorious radiance that God brings forth when you are full of God's glory. God's character is in you. You see the uh the blessings of God, the anointing of God, the the infilling of God, the promises of God, that's what walking in the anointing is or walking in the glory. When Jesus walked on the earth, he walked in the glory of God. We saw the the eternal glory when he went to the mouth mount of transfiguration and he shone brighter than the noonday sun. But actually he was the manifestation of the glory of God everywhere as he went. He was a manifestation of the glory of God when he was pe healing people. He was the manifestation of the glory of God when he was on the back of the boat sleeping. He was a manifestation of the glory of God when he hung naked on the cross. All were different aspects of God speaking to us. And then of course the day that he rose from the grave, that was the fulfillment of the glory. And every single one of us that believe that Jesus Christ is our savior and lord one day will rise up. We will be filled with that glory. But God speaks uh uh speaks to us to walk in that glory right now. See the glory is the anointing. the anointing. When Jesus went, every went, everywhere that Jesus went, demons manifested. He went to the synagogue, the synagogue ruler began to manifest. Why? Because the glory of God was in it. And that glory was known by the spirits that were in the room. And you see, you could just to the natural eye just be yourself. But when you walk in with the anointing of God into a room full of darkness, believe me, that darkness will know that somebody that has the glory of God living in his presence. Hallelujah. You're going to ruffle some feather. You're going to get some dirty looks or you're going to get some reaction, you know, when the glory of God is in you. But the glory of God has to be received. And if you notice over here, it says that the the heaven, the spiritual realm declares the glory of God. And then it shows also the firmament. The firmament is a physical. When you look at the at the heaven, you'll see the stars, you see the clouds, you see the sky. That also speaks of the glory of God. So here we have two kinds of of glory. one that is spiritual in the heavens and one that is um um uh that is visible. And then he said day onto day verse two utter speech that's speaking about uh there's revelation coming out during the day and night unto night it reveals knowledge. And then look what it says in verse three. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. There's no place on the earth where you can go that you can hide from this glory that has been revealed. And it doesn't matter whether you don't understand English or you don't speak Spanish or you don't speak Chinese. Anywhere you're in the world, that voice speaking. You know why? Because it's speaking to your spirit man. And your spirit man only knows one language. See, all spirits speak one language. flesh is is that that's where the languages were divided in in in habel and a tower of babel babel where where the there was a confused but our spirits speak the same language you see all of us humans I don't care where you're at can can can tell when we're loved and when we're not we can tell when we're rejected and when we're accepted those things don't need language to tell you don't need no language to know that somebody really cares for you may not understand a thing they're saying But you can see it on their eyes. You can see it on their compassion. The same way if they hate you because spirits speak a different language. So here we have the manifestation of two revelations of speech. One is spiritual and one is physical. God speaks through both. God speaks through us through the spirit realm. This glory is being shown forth and then he also speaks through the little things. Have you ever just turned having happened to turn the radio on at the right time and and I remember before I got saved when the Holy Spirit was dealing with me, I was driving this uh motor home. We were going out to Yuseite or some place and I was desperately to to to hear something good. No music was playing. All I could find was a gospel station. I don't care where I would turn it, the preacher will always say, "Would you like to be saved and know it?" You know, I was a Catholic. I I believe I didn't need to be saved. I was already saved. You know, I didn't understand salvation. I didn't understand conversion. And so anywhere as I turn, the Holy Spirit will speak and will say, "Would you like to be saved and know it?" "Would you like to be saved and know it?" And yeah, would somebody tell me what it means to be saved? You know, it was like God. But but God speaks to you through a thing. You know, you could be going by a billboard and there's a big message over there and it's just for you. So God uses the physical realm as well as the spiritual realm to speak through us. Now uh at the end of verse uh four he says in them and if you have the notes there you see that I have a list of the heavens that I have in them in them in the physical realm God has set a tabernacle for the son. Verse five, which is like a bridegroom going out of his chamber and rejoices like a strong man to run his race. His rising is from one end of heaven and his circuit to the other end and there is nothing hidden from his seat. Now God is going to say my glory, the spiritual glory of God so that you can relate is pretty much like the sun. You can't hide from it. There's no place on earth where you can hide from the sun or even from the stars when when the sun is on the other side. Uh uh just like God set up a light a physical light which is the sun our star and it radiates and it gives life to with things and says that's what my glory is. You can be in the darkest cave you can be in the deepest ocean. You can be in the deepest forest. You know, sometimes one time I was we were going on an airplane to u San Louis Rio, Colorado. We were building a church there and it was so dark and gloomy and we took off of Compton airport. The church had a plane and when we broke through the clouds and got on top, it was like, oh my god, the sun was out and it was so bright, you know, because the clouds were white on the top and you could see and when you're below the clouds, it looks so dark and so gloomy, but yet the sun was up. And that's what God is saying. My glory is always there. Even when you're going through your darkest time, even when you're going to to where you cannot see anything, my glory is always there. Just like the sun. And the storms are not forever, my friend. The clouds are not there forever. There are seasons. That's what the sun was given for season. So we go through seasons when we cannot hear like we would like to hear or when we do not experience the glory of God like we should. But what God is teaching us that we need to learn to hear God speak to us even when there's clouds, even when there's darkness, even when there's gloom. You see, because God is speaking continuously. He says, "Tday and night, they utter speech." Now, all of a sudden, this psalm takes a complete turn. And in verse seven, it departs from everything that it was talking about the creation. And he says the law of the Lord is perfect. So you see he was given us something physical so that we could relate to something spiritual. The Lord the law of the Lord is perfect. Converting the what? The soul. See that's what God God is in the business of conversion. Did you know that we got messed up? You know, Adam and Eve, they they took the wrong turn. And ever since that day, humankind has been going downhill, okay? We we we're going the wrong way. You know, when I got saved, it's like God somehow had this super laser kind of thing. He just cut my my skull here just like a neat thing and like he lifted it up and he took my brain and he turned around and he put it back in and he closed it. That's how I felt when I got saved. It was like all of a sudden, oh man, wow, I can see now. You know, it's just like everything was messed up, but all of a sudden everything is right. That that's what salvation, that's what God is in the business of. And what does he do? He speaks. God speaks. How can they know unless you send somebody to preach there or to speak it? And so he gives us a uh you know a revelation of the spiritual with the physical heavens. And then now he comes in and he speaks about his word. He says the law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple. Every time you would hear, and we're going to go to Proverbs in a little bit, but every time you hear the Bible using the word simple or fool is speaking about somebody who lacks spiritual understanding, you need to understand this because you can be Bill Gates and have billions and billions of dollars and if you don't understand the spiritual principles or the spiritual laws of God, you're a fool. Okay? We have to understand this is not talking about how smart you are, how street smart or college smart or how wise you are or how sharp or how you slow. When the Bible calls you simple, meaning you don't understand spiritual principle, you're not listening to what the Holy Spirit is saying. This is what the Bible calls the fool. The fool has said on his heart, there is no God. Why? Because he is blind to everything that's going. How can you not know that there is a God? You just need to look around. Look in the mirror. He's even joke. He likes to joke around. Just look in the mirror. Sometimes you'll see that God has a great sense of humor. He makes some people gray hair. He makes some people no hair. You know, he just has a great sense of humor. But but God is is is speaking and he says if you are not listening to the words that I speak to you, you're a simple that means you you have no spiritual understanding. you're a fool because you lack the knowledge and God doesn't want us to be in that condition. Let me read again Psalm 19:7 and we're going to go through uh through verse 10. It says, "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise and simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart, and the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous allto together. More to be desired are they than gold. Yeah, that much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. You see, the word of the Lord is what man was created to indwell. You have to see this. It it talks about I think it's Psalm 95 and it talks about in Proverbs the Holy Spirit is speaking through I don't know if it was David or Moses. I think it was Moses who wrote Psalm 95 and David who published it and and then the writer of Hebrews which was probably Paul when they speak through the Holy Spirit the word of God says a body you prepare for me. See, the word of God, the glory of God, needed a physical house to dwell in. You see, if you go to space and you wear your regular clothes, you're going to fray. There's a vacuum in space. Your eyes are going to pop out and you're going to just explode. So, if you want to go into outer space, you better wear a suit. And this suit better have a cooling system in it and have oxygen and everything. If you're going to go down to the deepest ocean, you better have something there. You see, you need to the environment that you're going to, you need to have something to to be in that environment. Well, you see, a spirit, which the word of God is spirit, and God is spirit. In order to operate on the physical realm that God has created, you need a body. That's why demons are going after humans. They cannot experience. I mean, imagine being invisible and seeing a being having all of your senses and everything and being hungry and seeing this big old juicy steak, you know, and man, you can even smell it and you want to eat that thing. You can't get it. You can't get it. You're hungry. You're dying of thirst. This is what spirits are. This is why uh demons are Jesus said when they're cast out of a person, they're going through dry places. They need a body. Because a body is what gives you the ability to enjoy the things the blessings that are here on the earth. So we need to understand the the word the body the physical body was created to be inhabited by the glory of God. So when Jesus said a body you prepared for me and Jesus the word became flesh that body now was full of the perfect law of God. That is our purpose. That is our destiny. God intended for us to walk in the fullness of his counsel, in the fullness of his light. When God created Adam, he said, "You can have it all. Just stay away from this one thing because that one thing will allow something foreign, something that you were not created to endure to come into your body and to pollute your body, which is where we are, the condition that we are today, where we struggle with a a a nature that is not from God. God never created us to steal. God never created us to lie, to lie. God never created us to hate. God na never created us to to to to uh to defraud one another. God never created us to hurt. God is not that way. God is love. God is the complete fulfillment of perfection and goodness. That's what we're called to indwell. So you see now that we're born again, born again means that rejoice that your name is written in heaven. Rejoice that you have a connection now with the spirit of God. Because the spirit of God, see, it's like me having this paper over here and say, "Well, I want to watch the 10:00 news. How come the 10:00 news is not coming there?" Do you know the 10:00 news is right here? All you need is the right receiver. If I get an FM radio, I can pick up all kinds of stations. They're right here. If I get an AM receiver, I can get all kinds of station. If I get one of those um uh uh DVR channels or whatever, I can get all kinds of things. They're right here. But I need the right receiver to be able to receive what they're broadcasting. You see that? So, what I'm saying here is God is broadcasting. The spirit of God is broadcasting what he wants to do in you and me. what he wants to fulfill it. His word is looking for a body that can indwell, a a a body that will allow him to come in, a body that will allow him to bring his perfection into us. But in order to do that, we need to be able to tune in. We got to be able to hear because the spirit is speaking and without us being able to receive it, we're not going to play that good thing that God is playing. You see, because there's another guy that's broadcasting also, and his name is Satan. And guess what? You are already tuned to what he's broadcasting. You don't need to buy anything. You don't have to sign up for anything. Oh, man. You just look around. He's all over. He's sending thoughts into your mind continuously. As a matter of fact, a lot of some of you, he told you, "Don't go there tonight. Whatever you do, stay away from that place."

He don't want you to tune in to the other channel. He didn't want you to tune in to where God is broadcasting. Because you see, when we are able to allow the perfect law of God to come in, a transformation begins to take place. Because you see, our body, our soul was designed to be inhabited by the word of God. Oh, hallelujah. We were designed to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying. Satan is being hard at work of messing all of your buttons, you know, like a guitar all out of tune. He's just and and and we need to hear what the spirit is saying to the churches. And that is confirmed of our next verses. Psalm 119 verse 11 through4. Look what it said. Moreover, by them your servant is warned. By what? By what the Lord is broadcasting. By the words that the Lord is broadcasting. Your servant is warned.

Have you ever wished you would have been warned?

I mean, we could have saved a lot of pain and headaches, you know, if we could just have a little uh uh uh whatchamacallit fast forward button. And we're going to make a decision, you know, before we make it. Let me fast forward this movie. See where it plays out. And woo, I don't want to go there. You know, some of those uh uh things might take you up to a couple of years behind bars. Some of the thing could take you out to 10 years bound by drug addiction. Some of the things can get you in in in the worst relation that you ever had that that that you know you like job, you wish you never been born. But you see, God is broadcasting your future to you. God is broadcasting the path that he has for you. God is telling you which way to walk in the path that he has for you. So it warns us. He tells us, he guidance. That's what he says here. By them your servant. Now notice that he uses the term servant. What is a servant? Somebody who is submitted. Somebody who is willing to listen to correction. Somebody who is willing to say, "Lord, I know I mess this up if I do it by myself. I need help. I need help." He said, "By them your servant is worn, and in keeping them there is a great reward." Oh, I like that. I like that. God is in the business of rewarding. Hallelujah. Did you know that uh um uh you know, I I think of things like this. You might think I'm weird, but uh you know, what do the angels do in heaven for fun? you know, I mean, there's a whole bunch of them up in there sitting and and the devil wants you to think that if you go to heaven, uh uh you know, you're going to wind up on a cloud with a harp, maybe playing the same tune all the time, and that's going to get boring after a couple of million years. You know, uh you know, you you know, but but think of this. God is in the throne, and out of the throne of God come forth lightnings and thundering. And in the book of Revelation, he tells us that every time there's a flash of lightning, the uh uh uh the uh the creatures uh uh the four living creatures just cried out, "Holy, holy, holy." and everybody throws himself to the floor and they just cried and and and you know what it is is those creatures are created in such a way that God can give them such a thrill such a high such a unit that every time there's a little flashing of life from the throne they just like become a feeding frenzy they just go why they lose all complete control the highest height and a minute later God can give another flash and it's just totally different. Oh man, you get so excited. That's what God created us for. Did you know that in eternity? That's why God is eternal because all eternity and you cannot see how big and how great he is. And he'll reward us like that. And we can get glimpses of that sometimes. We can, you know, one time I was in the in the freeway and I was just bemoning my faith and I'm working so hard and all two hours I was on the four or five freeway coming from there and I just and finally something slapped me in the face. God said, "Why don't you concentrate something positive, you know? I mean, you got my spirit in, you got my word." And I repented right there on the sp forgive me, Lord. And I just began to worship him. And man, he just gave me one of those flashes. And I, Holy Spirit is a better driver than I am. He drove home. But I'm telling you, like for an hour over there, I was just weeping. I got home, I was soaked with tears. He just gave me a little flash. And all I needed to do was just tune that old lousy station that I was listening to as to how bad I was because I was stuck in two-hour traffic. And just began to tune into him. And he just gave me a little tiny little reward. He just drew boom and man I just fell apart and like I said he can drive a stick ship truck. I can vow for that. He drove perfectly to the whole thing. I got home and I didn't know how I got home but I got home and everything was fine. No dents on it. Praise God. And so verse 11 Psalm 1911 more moreover by them your servant is worn and in keeping them there is great reward. Verse 12. who can understand his errors. Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back your servant also for from presumptuous sins and let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless and I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Now listen to this. This is very important because this is how this is what happened when we tune in to what the Holy Spirit is speaking to us. Look what he he asked a question. David asked this question. Who can understand his errors? You don't know how you were made. You don't know how you've been messed up. You don't know what your generational line is and how many devil worshippers you had and how many Buddha worshippers you have and how many idolattors you have. You don't know how messed up your DNA is, how corrupted that has been. There's just so much garbage, you know, uh um numbers um is it numbers? Uh uh when the ten commandments are given and he says, I am a jealous god and I visit the iniquities of the fathers up until the children to the third and fourth generation. Uh 25, right? Exodus 20 verse five. Yeah. Anyway, uh we have a lot of things in us that cause us to do bad things. David said in Psalm 51 when after he was caught in adultery and and all the things he he says in sin my mother conceived me said I didn't have a chance. This was already on my gene. David was a descendant of Rahab the prostitute who married Solomon and and came down. So, who knows their faults? We don't. But God does. That's the good news. God does. And he's broadcasting. He's telling you, he say, "Hey, I know your weaknesses. I know your strength. I know where you need to stay away from. And I need what you can get close to. If you listen, but listen to me. I'm going to get you fixed up because I know where your faults are at." And then he said, "Who can cleanse me from secret fault?" That means hidden hidden flaws that we have. Did you know that in one of the Proverbs, I I think it was um 68 or I don't I don't remember one of the provers we use for deliverance. It talks about how Satan works. It talks about how they cause like an insurrection from within you and they probe and they search hard. They're looking to find where your faults are at. Satan is always Satan has like a net. He's throwing all kinds of garbage at you. Sometimes you laugh at him. You say Satan think he could set me with that. Well, see, Satan doesn't know. He's not God. He doesn't know what your strengths are, what your weaknesses are. So, he's going to throw everything he can at you. See what sticks. And once he finds something that sticks, boy, he's going to work it. And he's going to work it against you. and he's going to manipulate things and he's going to get things going. So basically what he's saying here if I can tune to what God is speaking to what God is saying God knows not only my errors but he knows my weaknesses. You see God can help me in my weaknesses. God can help me in my infirmities. God can help me in the thing that I need help on to overcome. That's what he's saying there. if I am tuned to him. And then he says verse 13, keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. That applies to many Christians. A lot of time we presume and we think it's faith. We presume that we can do certain things and we think it's faith and it is not. And you see God knows that too. God knows how much faith you have. God really knows whether you have faith for that big car you're going to buy. Whether you're going to be able to make the five years of payments that it takes, whether you're going to have faith for that or not or entering into a relationship. So all of these things are so important because it helps us. He says, and look what it says at the end of verse 13, let them not have dominion over me. That means if I can listen to what God is saying, if I can tune in to the revelation that God is giving me, if I can connect with the Holy Spirit, nothing is going to get a hold of me. Nothing is going to bound me, bind me, nothing is going to have a stronghold over me. Why? Because God is guiding my path. You see, God knows where the snares are that Satan has laid for you. You know how they have those night vision goggles right now? Imagine you walking in darkness through the hills under booby traps. There's all kinds of things. Imagine if all of a sudden now you have one of those pair of bright goggles and then you can walk just like if it was day. Huh? He's got a hole there. He's got a net there and he's got this here. That's what the Holy Spirit does. And then he says, "Then I'm going to be blameless." Oh, this is nice. Then I shall be blameless and I shall be innocent of great transgression. Wouldn't you want to be on that innocent? The Holy Spirit said in that doesn't mean we ever become perfect. We'll never become perfect. What that means is God is going to keep you from hurting yourself beyond what can be fixed. You know that that's one of the things where my kids were growing up teenage years. We have two girls and a boy. And I knew that in order for them to grow and mature, they're going to have to go through the thing we all go through. So rather than, oh Lord, keep him from ever smoking or keep him from ever doing pot or Lord, it was just like, Lord, whatever comes their way, I just pray that you draw a line that they will not cross the line that would hurt them beyond being able to be recuperated. That was my prayer for them. And you know, we saw that that when they would uh be going in a certain direction and when they came to that line, God would somehow speak and say, "Hey, you can't cross that line." And boom, it was like they wake up or something and something would happen. And and that I believe is what God wants from us. He's saying, "Listen to me. You're you're that's why I call it great transgression. We we we're going to make mistakes. That's how we learn. You don't know that that the that the socket uh has electricity on it. You don't know what electricity is until you stick your finger in the socket. And once you do it once, you won't do it no more. I guarantee you kids will learn quick that way. So God is going to allow you to do certain things like that. But you see, he's not going to allow you to lose your finger or to lose your life. That's that's what he's saying over here. Okay. So now that we found out how these things work, um let's go to Proverbs chapter 1 where all of the things about wisdom begins. And we're going to read Proverbs chapter 1:es 1-7. And the reason why I believe the Lord got me to to show you this is so that you can read the book of Proverbs. Proverbs is is a book of wisdom. Okay? And a lot of times to read something to have it make an an impact we have to be motivated or we have to understand you know like uh uh if somebody gives you a book to read if you don't have no motivation for it you can just probably throw it there and not read it. But if you find out that that book will tell you how to win a a free vacation to Hawaii you know and then if you start it really good there's like 99% chance you're going to get the free vacation to Hawaii. Guess what? you're going to read that book, right? That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get you motivated to read because there is speech that is going forth from God. Now, Proverbs 1 through7, the proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, to know wisdom and instruction. To perceive the words of understanding, to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, judgment, and equity to give prudence to the simple. There is that word simple, to the young men, knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise cons counsel. To understand a proverb and an enigma, the words of the wise and their riddles. And then he says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Here he's setting up in those first seven verses, seven being the number of completion, we're given the whole heart of the book of Proverbs. He says God says, I'm going to show you. And the thing is he uses the word simple and he uses the word fool. Both of those words are dealing with people who lack spiritual knowledge, i.e. us. Okay? All of us are carnal or natural. We're born after the flesh. We have no natural spiritual understanding. Whatever spirit we were messing with before we were born again wasn't a good spirit. Whatever door got open when you was before you were born again into the spiritual realm is of the devil. Close it. You know, you don't want to mess with that one. But once you were born again and now your names is written in heaven and now you have access to the Holy Spirit. God is saying I don't want you to remain on that simple condition. I don't want you to remain a fool. I want you to understand how spiritual principles work because spiritual principle did you know how there are some people that are good at making money? They're just born in that way. They can go anywhere completely broken. They can start a business from scratch and and there's other people that just don't have that understanding. Always has to work for somebody else and and for a paycheck. You see, there's there's something that goes on on a mind of a person that makes him either a business person or makes him a different person. What we receive, the understanding that we receive in our mind is what we become. We are a product of of what we know. Okay? And what God is saying is I don't want you to remain in this natural state in which you was saved. I want you to come up into a spiritual state. I want you to understand spiritual principles. I want you to work like you would work in the natural but work for spiritual things. And now notice that he says and it gives us an insight here for motivation in verse three to receive the instruction of wisdom. And if you notice in verse two he says to know wisdom and instruction. And in verse three reverses it to receive the instruction of wisdom. That means he's trying to get us going forward and going backwards. That's how the Holy Spirit is working to get our minds to engage that we need to receive instruction. Wisdom is the I call wisdom the blueprint that God has for each individual. You know, like everything, these chairs had a a a a blueprint. And once you know the dimensions and you can make a whole bunch of them alike, this room had a a wisdom. It was put in paper before it was put there. God has your wisdom. Before a single grain of sin was spoken into existence, God designed you. He designed you. He put you on a piece of paper. He he he created everything that he was going to do through you. And I think Paul says that we were prepared unto good works before the world was created. God already ordained a whole bunch of good things that he was going to do through you and for you. And that's your wisdom. That is your that is your schematic. That is your design. That is your blueprint. But that blueprint in order to come into reality, you need understanding. You need instruction. You need to know why God made you like he made you and why he allowed certain experiences to come in your life. Because all of those things when they make sense to you are going to make you the into the person that God created you to be. You see, you might think that there's a lot of mistakes that happen, even the way you got here, you might think it's a mistake. God makes no mistakes. Devil can me the devil can mess up things up, but he can never twart the plan of God. When all is said and done, read Revelation. At the end of it, an angel comes in with a big chain, locks that sucker up, throws him into the bottomless pit. A thousand years later, he's let out. And then he gets cast into the lake of fire. It's going to happen. It's written. It is written. And you know what? God already wrote you on his book. This is what we got to see. This is what we got to get excited about. God already wrote me on his book. Jeremiah uh 11:19 or something says, "I know the plans that I have for you." 29:11. Jeremiah 29. I know the plans that I have for you. plans to bless you and to give you a future and to give you a hope. So we need to understand that we need to tune in to God to receive wisdom to receive instruction. Now notice this is motivator number one the end of verse three to receive the instruction of wisdom justice judgment and equity. Justice is a law. You know, you go to before a court and they can only do to you what is written on the law. If the law says 3 to five, the judge can't say, "Well, I feel I giving you 10 today. He might feel like giving you 10, but he can't. It's written in the law 3 to five." That's what justice is. Justice is. And what we need to know is that each and every one of us going to be judged. If you're saved, you accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, you're not going to be judged as to where you're going to spend et eternity. That has already been done. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. Let's all bow down and worship. Hallelujah. We're not going to receive the punishment of that. But you see, we are going to be judged as to whether we fulfill the purpose for which we're were created. Said we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ BMA. That was like when when they had the races and uh uh they had the uh what it called like the Olympics, the marathon and they had the different steps and the highest was for number one and number two and number three. That's where we all going to appear. All of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ to receive a reward or lack thereof for the things that we have done here in the body. We need to understand that. We need to understand that there's a lot of things rewards that we can miss out on. And you see a lot of people sell shorts. You say, "Well, I'm already going to heaven." Yeah, you're going to heaven, but did you know that some of those rewards that you may miss is somebody that's going to be saved through you? Did you know that? Did you know that there may be some of your relatives that not get saved will not get saved because you failed to fulfill the destiny for which God the destiny that God gave you first of all is to save your family. That that is the first destiny to get your family saved to get your family delivered to get your family healed. And the minute that you get saved you become a priest. I was the first priest in my house and my wife was the first priest of both of our immediate families. We were just brought into the kingdom through people praying at Harbor Christian Center that there was a split in the church and half of the church. We need more people or send them and so the Lord threw his net through Carson and there we were and we got caught in the net. We were brought in and praise God for that. But immediately the very first thing is began to pray for our family. Began to pray and guess what? They persecuted us more than anybody else. But that's the way it goes because Satan doesn't want them to get saved and yet they're the first one to get saved. And so it works like that. So we need to understand first the justice that we are all going to have to give an account for all of those hours that we spend watching mindless television. That's the worst thing that we could ever do. We just waste our time. You know that all of the things that are up in there are to amuse. You know what muse means? To think. A means to put her in neutral. So when we're being a muse, we're just in neutral. Nothing. You the lights are on. There's nobody there. That's what we're doing. So we need to understand that we need to be motivated. I need to be able to connect with my destiny. And my destiny is being broadcast right now by the wisdom of God in the Holy Spirit. and I need to find out how to tune into it. And one of the motivators is I'm going to have to give an account. I'm going to have to go to the justice judgment because God is going to judge according to the law. And the good thing is God is going to be fair, his equity. That is bad news for us. If God is fair and he's going to give us what we really deserve, man, like I said, we might be saved just by the skin of our thieves, like he said, but we're not going to get nothing. Man, remind this preacher that went to heaven. And he had somebody in in the church that didn't do much for God. And so, they both went to heaven. And that guy on the church that never was known for anything had this huge old mansion and the preacher had this little chuck over there. I said, "Man, you're not fair, God. I mean, I did all the things." He said, "Well, you know, the way it works up in here, we can only work with the materials that you send up. Everything that you did out there was for the glory of man." He says that man spent many hours praying, many hours crying, many hours in the closet where nobody saw him, interceding for his family. As a matter of fact, he is the reason why you didn't get struck down sometime because he was praying for you half the time. And so we need to understand that that we are going to be judged by equity. In other words, what we do here is going to matter. Did you know that we are being training for the kingdom of God? Our positions in the kingdom of God is determined by our faith here. This is it. whether we like it or not, you know, I mean, I wish we we we could really get a hold of this truth because our position in heaven because there's heaven is a very very organized place just like the angels are all organized and just like the demons are all organized. There's all great organization and our position there, our status is determined not by how many people we lead to the Lord but by to what degree we fulfill the destiny or the wisdom of God for us. And we're never going to know. We can shoot in the dark and try to figure it out, but if we're able to hear what the Holy Spirit says, we would know. Okay. To the next page.

Romans uh chapter 2 vers 12. Now this is how powerful this is to give you an example of how powerful what God is broadcasting is. This is Romans chapter 2 12-16. And Paul is dealing with salvation here. He's dealing with the salvation of people. And look what he says. It says, "For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and as many as has sinned in the law will be judged by the law. For not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, are just in the sight of God. But the doers of the law will be justified." And now look what it says. The Gentiles were people that did not know about God for all of those years that the Jews were there. For when Gentiles who do not have the law, they don't have the word of God, by nature do the things that are written in the law, this although not having the law are a law to themselves who show the work of the law written in their hearts. Now what should he said? Their conscience also bearing witness and between themselves their thoughts accusing them or excusing them in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. What God is saying is if you read the whole chapter in the context is that God wrote his gospel in the heaven. God is broadcasting in such a strong form that you could be an indigenous person in in an island someplace and never known anybody else. In your heart, you know what's right and you know what's wrong and how you respond to that, you will be judged by that. So if those people are going to their salvation is going to depend into how they responded, how much more are we going to be judged if we know the law of God? If we know what Jesus did for us, if we know the the blood that he shed for us and we just say, "Well, yeah, big deal. I'm going to heaven. Forget everybody else. I got my ticket." You see, that's was at stake. And this is what had to be our motivator. This has to be our motivator. We have been given the law. We have been given the word. We have been filled with the spirit for a purpose. God just doesn't think you're better than anybody else. God is no respector of person. God just deposited in you a tremendous investment of the blood of Jesus and he's going to come back and he expects a return for his investment. Jesus has many parables concerning that he is expecting a return from his investment in you. And the only way see you can work out you can knock from door to door you can tell people that's not what God is looking for. God is looking you for you to hear. Tune into him. Hear from him. Get the revelation from him. That's the only way. God is the only one that knows your destiny. You know, Satan doesn't know your destiny. Satan doesn't know your destiny. He had no idea. Your wisdom, your file is a secret file in the vaults of heaven. And only the Holy Spirit has access to it for his eyes only. He is the only one that can bring your destiny to pass. And if we don't hear him, we're not going to know it from anybody else. He's not your pastor. He's not your brother, not your husband, not your wife. The Holy Spirit is the only one that has access to the destiny that God written out for you. That's the wisdom of God. And we need to be motivated enough to realize that when we get over there to the other side, what we do here as far as hearing God matters and matters a whole deal. may not matter here now, but it's gonna matter over there. You know, I used to say, "Oh, well, as long as I make it to heaven, it's fine." I don't want to just make it to heaven anymore. I want to give pleasure. He says that we were all created to give pleasure to Jesus. I don't want to get to heaven and find out that I defrauded my savior and my lord of that tremendous investment that he made in my life and I gave him nothing in return because I was too busy doing something else. You see, this is at the heart of what the Holy Spirit is saying to us. I have made an investment in your life and I want to bring something in return. I want to get something in return and you're going to get rewarded there. I mean, there's no no uh no no doubt about it.

Okay. Now, let's move on.

In order to be able to stand in the day of judgment, we need to understand the speech of the Holy Spirit who alone is able to reveal to us our secret faults and the means by which we can be set free. That's what it means when it says in Psalm 19:12 and 13, who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from my secret faults. You see, what keeps me from fulfilling the will and the purpose of God for my life is the strongholds that are in my life that Satan has been able to work in my life, whether through generational curses or because of my own sin or because of my actual physical condition. Those things have to be removed in order for me to fulfill my destiny. That's what the ministry of deliverance is all about. That's what Jesus came to do. He came to heal the brokenhearted. A broken heart cannot fulfill God's destiny. A broken heart have to be healed. A broken heart meaning your life, yourself, your personality is shatter into pieces. You're not, you do not have it together. If you have a broken heart, it has to be healed. Okay? If you have a broken heart, you're bound by something. You're in darkness. If you have a broken heart, you're in a prison and Satan holds the key. And so the beginning of wisdom, the fear of the Lord. Lord, I know that I'm got to stand before you and I don't want to miss my reward. I don't want to disappoint you. I need to hear you speak to me. Reveal the things in my life that I need to deal with. The doors that are closed that I don't want to open. I need to open it so that the Holy Spirit can come in and cleanse. It's not good to get into a room that's been garbage stored up for years and years and years. And most of us rather not deal with that. But we cannot fulfill our destiny unless we let God in there. Guess what? It's going to hurt. It's going to hurt. Some painful memories are going to be brought back and they're going to hurt. Some things are so deeply embedded within us that the Holy Spirit is the only one that can heal. And the Holy Spirit will speak to you. He says, "You got bitterness. You got resentment. You got unforgiveness." No, I don't. And the Holy Spirit is going to look at you and say, "Well, you want to be simple." Get back in the back of the line. Read, read Proverbs chapter 2. It tells you what happens to people who ignore what the Holy Spirit says.

Okay? Proverbs 1:es 20- 23. He said, "Wisdom calls out loud outside. She raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out on the chief concourses. At the opening of the gates in the city, she speaks her words. How long you simple ones will you love simplicity? For corners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge." Now, that other part that I was telling you is verse 23. He said, "Turn on my rebuke. Surely I will pour out my spirit on you and I will make my words known to you. See, turn at my rebuke. When I speak to you, when the Holy Spirit speaks to me, I need to turn. When he says there's something wrong, there's something you need to deal with. I'm not to tell the Holy Spirit, "No, you're not." Or, "No, this is not." I need to say, "Okay, Lord, where and how?" right now because if I don't verse 244 says because I have called you and you refuse and I have stretched out my hand and I will regard it because you disdain all of my counsel and would have none of my rebuke I will also laugh at your calamity that's not good is it not good Holy Spirit is saying you're going to learn the lesson okay you're going to learn it either when I rebuke you or whether you go into the pit and when you're in in that pit. You can pray all you want to. You're not going to be pulled out of it. That's what happened to the guy that that the king forgave him millions of dollars and then he wouldn't forgive the one that owed him a couple of hundred dollars and he was brought back to the king. The king said, "You wicked servant. You threw yourself at the floor. You pleaded for mercy. I forgave you all of your debt and then you wouldn't have mercy." And this guy says, "Throw him until he pays every penny of it to the tormentors." The tormentors are the demons. That's what he's talking about there. When the Holy Spirit speaks, we better listen. And ignorance is not an excuse because you can go before the judge and say, "Well, law tell the judge, I didn't know that that law was there." He's gonna say, "I don't care whether you knew it or not. It's in the books. You violated it and you're going down." That's it. It's just that simple. You know, there's got to be a million laws in the books somewhere. Who knows them all? We don't. Okay. But you can be judged for. So, it's the same way with God. That's what he's saying. Okay. Verse um um uh Proverbs 18 said, "My son, hear the instruction of your father and do not forsake the law of your mother." The law, the word there for law is the Torah. It's the same word that is used for the first five books of Moses. The Torah. Do not forsake the instruction of the father or the law of your mother. See what God is doing here. He's speaking to us that there's two different types of communication going on. You see, a lot of us say, "Why doesn't God just tell me?" Yeah. Have anybody ever said that? I remember when I first got saved. Why don't you ride her on the clouds, Lord? I'll sit there hours if I need to. Just tell me whatever you want me to do. Rider on the clouds, you know. And then uh see, he's speaking, but he's not speaking Spanish. He's not speaking English. He's speaking his spiritual language. He's speaking through his word. He's speaking. I just got to tune in. I cannot get my mind and say, "Well, Lord, you got to speak my language." Or no, my spirit understands God's language. I just need to shut down and shut up for a minute and listen to the Holy Spirit speak to me through my spirit. You see, when it says the Torah of the mother is speaking about relationship, that's what we have with the mother. When you're growing up, the mother is with nurture you. The mother is would teach you. He's just one that speaks to you. God speaks to us in two different ways. The first way that God speaks to us is through our personal relationship with him. Like a mother, the Holy Spirit begins with us. And he begins with baby steps. All of a sudden, he gives you this scripture. All of a sudden, he gives you this revelation. All of a sudden, he gives you this. Remember as you're growing up as a Christian and you get excited, you find the revelation. Well, that's how God speaks through us. the more time that we spend in a relationship. Now, notice that this is not you can spend five hours praying, you know, you got two ears and one mouth. You can spend five hours speaking out of the mouth and God is ready to give you the answer when you started praying and you didn't stop for the five hours of lesson, you're not going to get anything. Okay? Relationship is communication. Relationship is Lord, I'm not getting it. I uh I know I'm a little hardheaded, Lord, but I I'm not getting I uh uh uh maybe I need to move to the other window. I'll get down on my knees over here. You know, maybe there's a bug crawling in the window will give me the revelation when I see something that you know, I got to find out. I got to establish a way of communication. Jesus says, "My sheep hear my voice." It doesn't happen just because the sheep was dropping the pen and he knew, you know, when I was in the Marines, I was thrown out there. They shave us all over our heads and they all gave us the same real baggy clothes over there. I didn't know anybody, you know, over there. I didn't know which platoon I belonged into. The only guy that I knew platoon was a drill instructor. And I was in the office doing something. And when I came out, there's like 300 guys out there. They're all on different formation. I don't know which one I belong on. So, I just got in line and one of them trying to figure out where am I, you know, looking for my drill instructor. Where is he at? And everybody start marching that way and marching that way. Finally, I see this one going to, "Oh, that's mine, man." I took off running and bumped the drill instructor. I didn't see it, but blindsanded, knocked him to the ground. Man, talk about getting in trouble the first day there. But I didn't know it. You don't know it right away. You don't know the voice of Jesus right away. But you build a relationship with him. He begins to speak to you. He you develop your own kind of communication, intimate communication with him, and he speaks to you. And that means you got to spend a lot of time praying and a lot of time reading the word, a lot of time in intimacy with him so that he can reveal. That's the Torah of your mother. The law, God begins to speak to you through certain ways, not just his word, but through certain circumstances in your life. You know, when God is saying, "I don't want you to do that." You see what I mean? You go to plug it in and it doesn't work and and okay, Lord, I got it. I'm out of there. Have you ever had that situation? Don't walk by there. You're going to walk anyway. Oh, you I get it, Lord. We get into that intimate relationship with God. But we need to understand so that we understand the greater picture. And that's where he talks about God. When he talks about the father where he says that u uh my son hear the instruction of your father. Father, God is a spirit and he speaks like we were talking about in Psalm 19. He speaks forth knowledge continuously. God is telling us right now what his plan and purpose for his church worldwide is. He's telling us right now what his plan and purpose for the city of women is. He's telling us his plan and purpose for what this church preaching for women ministries is. And he's telling speaking right now what each one of us purpose is. But you see he's speaking that on a language that everybody in the world understands. When I was taken up uh in into this spiritual place uh three four years ago and I went into this realm of the spirit. I was there with people from all over the world. I remember looking at the people that were next to me and I like wow so excited. I said this person I'll never see him in in this world but they were there. They they were praying interceding like I was and God brought us all into this place to climb up to this hill and there were people from the other side of the world there and they were real more real than it is here. And so God is speaking and he's calling his people. See, God is is if he wants you to intercede for something, he's speaking a language that somebody in China is hearing the same thing you're hearing and both of you are going to come in agreement praying for something and you got to cause it to pass because that's the connection that God wants to make at that time. That language you cannot learn by intimacy. This is the language of the spirit. This is what God is speaking. And he speaks through dreams. He speaks through vision. He speaks through his word. He speaks through prophecy. He speaks through all kinds of different language. And we need to learn that, you know, we need to get Christian books. I just brought back to to press some of the tapes about dream. You need to get him to make you copies of that thing. Find out the language of dreams, what certain numbers means. Everything in the Bible has a meaning from colors to number to everything. God speaks to your spirit. See, your spirit is speaking to you every day. You know, my spirit, I can get in the car and I sense my spirit telling something me, telling me something and I ignore it. And when I'm two miles on the road, I left my wallet. And the spirit was trying to tell me. My spirit knew it. If I had just stopped and listened to him for a little bit, I would have saved me not having to go back to the house and over the m. That's how God is speaking. And our spirit is a receptor. Our spirit is in tune with everything that God is saying. And if we can understand how this communication works, then we can be part of the greater plan, not just in the our intimate time with God. And then the last part that I want to deal with is in numbers 28 verse two. God says to Moses, "Command the children of Israel and say to them, my offering, my food for my offerings made by fire as a sweet aroma to me, you shall be careful to offer to me at their appointed time." Did you know that there is a protocol with God? You don't just go into the office of the president of the United States and barge in unless you're a little kid and you're the son of the president or something like that. But when you're in the army of God, when you're part, you know, when I was in the Marines, I couldn't just go to my lieutenant or to my colonel and tell him there's a chain of command. I was squad leader, so I had to go to my sergeant or to the lieutenant. I had to say, I need to speak to the commanding officer. He scream and then before I was able to go to a higher up. That's what it is with God. There is a chain of command and there's an appointed times. You see when you are going through some crucial part of your life, know for certain that there is an appointed time for you around the door. That is the key. Whenever you're when things are going fine, you know you're on cruise control. But when all of a sudden God takes you off cruise control and begins to say, "You better watch the sign. You better look what's going. You better pay attention." Is because there's an appointed time coming in your life. And those appointed times are critical because missing that appointed time can cost you a lot of time that you may not be able to make up. So this is very important. That is when the Holy Spirit really begins to to you know many of you probably have dreams of flying. you didn't know that that was when the Holy Spirit was showing you the type of ministry that you were going to uh to have that there's a language of dreams that you can find out about. Uh uh sometimes you're riding a little bicycle, sometimes you're riding an automobile. That's the type of ministry that you begin with, the time of ministry that you move up to. There are all kinds of different things. See, God works in in like this huge giant clock and everything has to line up just properly in order for you uh to to click there. And when God opened, see, God had opened the door for the Israelites as they were coming into the promised land. He sent the 12 spies, they went up in there. When they came out, 10 gave a bad report. God says, "Okay, you lost your opportunity. The door is closed." You know, they tried to go back. They tried to fight. They didn't want to go back to the desert when they found out they had to go to the desert 40 years. They said no. They couldn't. The door was closed. Same way with the ark of Noah. God closed the door. When people saw the rain coming, they all wanted to get in the ark. They couldn't. The door was closed. So, we need to understand that there are an appointed time. Right now, this month of November 2006, there's a big door open right now. Everybody that I know that is in the spirit, that is paying attention, know that there is a great big opening going on right now. God is doing something very special. God is doing something big right now in our time. This time now more than ever is a time for us to put away things that distract us, things that amuse us. There's nothing wrong with those things. It's just that there are time when you're driving in in in the middle of a snowstorm, you should not be reading a newspaper while you're driving or watching a a little television screen while you're driving. You might do that when you're on a straight road in the middle of the day and there's nobody else. Okay? But you cannot do that at a crucial time. And that's what I'm saying here. There are times in your lives that are crucial. And when those crucial times are there, those are the time to mean business with God. And if you mean business with God, you mean business. You know, if if if you have a situation you can't get rid of in a physical body, you make an appointment with a doctor. And if the doctor tells you you need to see a specialist, you go see the specialist. And if you need to wait three hours for that guy because he decided to come in late or had too many appointment, you wait for those three hours. Why? Because you need something. That's how we need to be with God. God looks at our heart. He sees to whether we really mean business. And we need to get motivated and say, "I don't want to spend another 40 years on this wilderness that I've been in. I want to get into the door now." And if it's going to take me getting up at 3:00 in the morning and sitting up in the couch there and listening for the voice of God to speak to me, I'm going to do it. If you're going to take me reading 10 different books, maybe the most boringest book in the world, but there may be one phrase over there that may just set you open, then I'm going to go through those 10 books. You see, these are the time, these are the times that we're living in right now. There's a big opening in the spiritual door of God. Right now, God is assigning uh h uh the the armor, the the the weapons of warfare. God is calling his army on this last day. Right now is like Gideon, 10,000 soldiers and only 300 are going to be taken in. Only 300. And you got to say, I want to be one of those 300. You got to be looking at the prophet, see what God is telling him. When one guy goes and laps it and the prophet is going, "No." Because God is telling them, "No, if you're paying attention to what the prophet is saying, he said, I I don't need to do that." And when somebody goes up in there and is watching does that and you see the prophet going like that, oh yeah, that's what I want to do. See, we need to pay attention. That's what we're saying. We need to pay attention. We need to know that these are the time. These are the season. The door is open right now. And God is right now getting ready to vest upon his children tremendous amount of glory and power and authority. But it's not going to go to anybody that is thoughtful. It is going to go to people who are eager and willing to do the time. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Let me go ahead and pray a blessing. If anybody needs prayer, we'll be here for prayer. Let me pray a blessing before I dismiss. Father, in the name of Jesus, I know that it's been a message, Father God, uh compelling us, dear Lord Jesus, to to move onto something greater that you have for us. So, Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that as all of us have heard what your spirit spoke through here tonight, Father God, I pray that our hearts will not reject, Father God, what the Holy Spirit has spoken into our hearts. I pray dear Lord Jesus that we will not disregard the counsel that the Holy Spirit is bringing to us because we don't want to mess up. We don't want to disappoint you, Lord. We want to be found worthy of your calling. We want to be found faithful in the things that you have called us to abide to. So, Father, I pray for my brothers and sisters that are here tonight. I pray, Father in heaven, that whatever is going on in their lives right now that would hinder them from fulfilling the destiny that you have for them. And I pray that that be broken right now in the name of Jesus. I take authority. I take the double-edged sword of the word that has been spoken, Father God. And I sever the roots of whatever hindrance will hinder us, your children, from entering into the possession of your promised land, Father God. And I pray, Father, in the name of Jesus, that there is a anybody here with a broken heart tonight that your Holy Spirit will bring that anointing oil, Father God, that that that that breaks the yoke, Father God. And whatever the source that is splitting that heart right now, I speak peace, Father God. I command it to dissipate and to disappear. And I speak unity, Father God, into that broken heart. Jesus, you came to heal the brokenhearted. Heal our broken heart tonight. Father God, give us an undivided heart. Father God, give us a heart that can receive the heart meat of your word, Father God, that may be able to discern the heart calling of the Holy Spirit, Father God, that we may do your will. And Father, if there's any of us here bound, Father God, either by fear or, Father God, or by loss or by greed or by whatever else the enemy snare might have thrown our way, God, I speak brokenness upon it, too, Father God. In the name of Jesus, we take the sword of the spirit and we sever it from the roots, Father God. And I declare freedom for it is for liberty's sake that you have set us free, Father God. And I pray, Father God, that when we, this congregation that is here tonight, that when we gather in heaven in your sweet presence, Father God, that it would be said of us, we heard the call of the Holy Spirit on the city of Wington and that they answer it, Father God, in Jesus' name. Let it be so, Father God. And bless us as we leave tonight, Father, in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. God bless you.
