The Open Door | Pastor Richard Lorenzo Jr.

Every message we post exists for one reason, to see lives changed by the power of God. At the Remnant Revable Outreach Center, we have a heart for discipleship, helping believers go deeper in their faith. And we believe these messages will do exactly that in your life. Watch this sermon through, drop a comment with what stood out, share it with someone who needs it and visit the rroc.org to connect and support the ministry. Let's get into today's message. We're going to get into this teaching. It's part three on the Sozo series. If you didn't join us for part one and two, part one, two weeks ago, actually three weeks ago, we spoke on what Sozo means. It means saved, healed, delivered, one savior, one rescue, the person of Christ. And then last week, we learned about our authority in Christ, Hallelujah. And tonight, we're going to answer the question. Everybody in this room is probably asking, because you saw the flyer online, does God still heal today? Has anybody in this room wondered if God still heals today? Raise your hand if that's you. All right, he does. There's not so many hands being raised because we've seen so many miracle healings at this altar. Not just in this building, but in many different buildings. We've seen blind eyes open. We've seen deaf ears open. We've seen tumor shrink. We've seen we've seen people be healed of cancer. We've seen people healed of not being able to walk. We've seen many canes dropped at the altar. We've seen the Holy Spirit heal in our church since the beginning because that is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. And I believe that God is bringing revival to his body so that it becomes normalized in the church. What's not just the church in Orlando or the church in New York or that one church that you know is actually Spirit-filled, but at that every church is Spirit-filled. The remnant is rising in this last hour, and God wants all of us to know that these are foundational elementary principles that God still heals. He still delivers prophecy still for today. Words of knowledge are for the Christian that God's saved, not for the Christian who's been saved for 15 years, that you're not called a prophet because you get a word of knowledge that that's normal for a Christian. It's normal for a Christian to prophesy.

Or to get word of wisdom, a word of knowledge. Or to speak in tongues. It's sad that the American church comes against the gifts of the Spirit so much. People who are filled, I believe, saved, filled with the Holy Spirit coming against the gifts of the Spirit because of traditions and religion. Tongues are supposed to be normal. Healing is supposed to be normal. I mean, that's what the church is for, to be activated, equipped, delivered, healed, and sent out. This is a watering hole where we come together to get filled, to get the word, get go out there, and honestly rescue those who are lost. I want you guys to be encouraged to go do it in your workplace, do it with your family group, do it at the gas station locally, and not wait until service to see miracle signs and wonders. But do it every day, all day, 24/7, seven days a week. Amen? We got to bring the church to the lost, the streets, the church is not a building, the church is us. Everyone look at your neighbor and say, "You are the church." Look the other way and say, "You are the church." All right. So I'm making disciples this project. Yes, we're hoping for a building, but we're not doing it for the building, we're doing it so that we can host more people, have more services, not be confined to a time or scheduled because of paying hourly. But I actually have our own facility where we could be preaching. My dream has always been 24/7 revival or 24/7 worship. I believe God can do it. It's going to take a lot of people and a lot of order and a lot of discipleship, but I believe God can do it. God, not us, God, through us. Because never in a million years did I think that this would happen, what we're seeing right now. So I can't wait for God to blow my mind in the next five years. Only Jesus. Everyone say Jesus. I want to encourage you because if you could do it here corporately, he could do it in your life personally. Whatever you're going through right now, just remember in a few years or maybe even a few months, you're going to look back and say, "Wow, look what you did." And all you have to do is stand the narrow path. All you have to do is trust in him, no matter how much it might hurt or how much it seems crazy, we don't live by sight, we live by faith, but you have to trust in him and you've got to stay on that narrow path. Did God write your story? For the people in the back, did God write your story? Is there a story written about your life? Does God already know the beginning to the end?

Okay, so does it surprise them when things happen in your life? Okay, does God get shocked? Does God feel bad? Okay, look, I'm going to tell you something. God loves us, he's in love with us, he already knows the beginning. He already wrote our story. It's our job to line up with the narrow path or the script of the story. And Gethse was trying to come in front of us and deter us, the enemy. Gethse was calling us from the left and the right to try to get us to derail and be misaligned, the enemy. But as long as we continue to stay on the narrow, and even when we might go off a little bit, when Jesus says, "Come back, we come right back, "we'll be our eye and God will keep restoring us "and restoring us and redeeming us." And all the years, the locus stole. He'll give it right back to us. Jesus is that good and he's that amazing. So the whole point of this walk, if God already knows what's gonna happen, is this walk in Christ for him or is it for us? It's a walk in, it's a walk in. So this walk in Christ is to experience who? Christ. So this life on this earth, while we're here in this time-based reality, is to get to know Jesus the most we can. And every single story and destiny and purpose, God has amazing, he has such a great creative mind.

I mean, he invented the word creation or even the idea of creation. He created, he's a creator. So if he's created all these beautiful things that we see every day when we go outside, all these intricate things that we learned about in science and biology, and when we look up at the sky, how much more does he wanna do in your life? He's the author and finisher of your faith. Doesn't he wanna blow your mind and blow other people's minds? Okay, so what do we have to do? Everyone say, "Align." Like Pierre said, we have to connect to the vine and let him do his thing. And it's gonna take a lot of that. A lot of heart being transformed continuously, yes. Positionally, when we come to Christ, does our heart turn from stone to flesh, yes? But progressively, we're going through a process where there's areas of our hearts that might be hardened or might be infected that God has to clean and has to soften up and that's okay because David was a man after God's own heart. And we are David's in this last hour where we are after God's own heart, where we want our heart to become like his and it's gonna take a process and it's gonna be painful and we need to go through the healing. Physical healing is great, but I think the healing of the heart is what God is after.

Listen to me, because some of you are here for a physical healing and God will heal you at this altar. And if you've watched our ministry for the past years, you've seen miracle healings here at this ministry. Some of you all saw miracle healings for the first time in person through this ministry. Thank the Holy Spirit for what he does, but the whole goal of the Holy Ghost is to reveal Christ to you. It's so that people who get healed and see the healings would want Jesus. And when you want Jesus, what begins to happen in your heart? You begin to transform into the spiritual image of Jesus Christ to become like him internally. What's a mature Christian, Jason? A mature Christian is not someone who can talk a certain way. A mature Christian is someone whose heart has been transformed. Solomon prayed for the capacity of his heart to be enlarged so that he can leave this so great of people. He prayed for the enlargement of his heart to be able to hold things. God will not give us things to steward if our heart is not ready for it, 'cause it'll destroy us. You know, it's a scientific fact that when people take steroids, y'all know anabolic steroids, that their body gets so big, that their organs can't even hold all that way.

To the point where they get heart failure. Your heart stays the same size, but their body gets too big for what God created. Sometimes we get puffed up with pride and think we can do more than what God has said. But God is so good that he will not allow us, as sons and daughters, to go past what we can be able to hold. So should we be focusing on performance and trying to do more, or should we be focusing on God who cleans our heart? Performance will have you misaligned real quick, thinking that you're following God. And how do I know this, guys? I've been there. So I constantly pray, God, I don't know everything and I need you to align me in any area. I'm not aligned and aligned this ministry, Lord, 'cause I'm here and I'm a pastor in this ministry and I wanna see people align. Lord, align this ministry 'cause the devil is conniving and he's deceitful and he's very slick and he's supernatural and we can't beat the lowest ranking devil in the spirit realm, but Jesus, the great shepherd, can destroy the highest ranking principality. So I'm not gonna try to depend on myself. I wanna depend on the vine like Pierre Preach, who's the one that gives me other nutrients and everything. So what does it go back to, guys?

I preach it every service, intimacy. If I'm not plugged in, I wanna help some people in here tonight, for real, 'cause I feel like there's people in the back that are about to catch a breakthrough. Listen. I plug in, he provides. It's even deeper than that. I wanna follow his word because his word gives me guidance. There's something called kingdom principles. Years ago, I had a really, for example Fleed from fornication does the word say that? But why do people take it casually and think it's okay, and that you could just follow God, but still live in fornication Why do we see that body of Christ? Because people's hearts are wicked and they don't want to go through the healing If I get confronted with the word of God that says I need a flea from fornication But I'm in a relationship where I'm fornicating I have a choice to make and guess what when that splinter in my heart gets exposed and I feel it internally But my mind knows I should stop but my heart saying no it's a now It's a battle of soul and spirit being separated bone and marrow now. It's a time for me to go to God With this word and say God this my heart says this my mind says this I need you to heal it and only the Holy Spirit can heal you But you have to recognize listen to me not everybody wants to go through that healing process because it's painful It requires you submitting yourself to God and realizing you can't do it on your own God's gonna bring things up in your heart that that's that roots and different things where the Poison that's been in your heart for years Where your heart desires the lust in the fornication and the point and all these things because you've been lacking love from this person who hurts you Or that person and God starts showing you son daughter This is why you desire fornication not because you can't control yourself or because it's too good No, it's because in your heart you're lacking me in an area

And in the Holy Spirit loves you so much he's gonna feel you deliver you and heal you and Then all of a sudden that desire for fornication goes and now you desire righteousness Everyone say supernatural It's a supernatural exchange where I give myself to Jesus look man, bro The Bible calls Jesus in the book of John the bosom of the father. He's the heart of the father He's the heart of God revealed to us. Oh, I want to know the nature and character of the father the Old Testament. God is mean Oh, he's not Jesus is the revelation of the father's heart to us As far as for God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son His son is a revelation of how much he loves us an Invincible God that reveals himself to us in time and space through his son perfectly Sinless the exact nature character essence rank everything omnipotence omniscient Omnipresence of the father is just Jesus in the spirit of God of the same equal one God three persons People say why do I have to serve a one God whose three different persons? It's because God is that great that sovereign and that almighty that he wants us to know that he's not just even one person He's three persons in one God. What does that even mean? Look the Trinity is not just Catholic doctrine. It's the Bible It's it's it's it's scripture And I feel like a lot of people who believe in one this they don't have a revelation of the father and that's why they can't understand it I Go to God and I see him as father the person of the father when I need a protector when I need But when I need to know that I'm adapted and even though I felt that God still loves me I need Abba to hold me and into into into hug me But then when I need the blood of Jesus when I need to know that I'm washed clean When I need to know that there's someone who died on the cross from me that he saved me He came to this earth to be beaten and with I go to Jesus my Savior when I need to be led to truth and comforted When I need to know that I'm not alone on the field evangelizing. I know the Holy Ghost is with me This is real I'm not a trinitarian. I'm a Christian who follows Jesus

And it's crazy Not press material and I'm not Lutheran. I'm not Pentecostal. I'm not Baptist Not Catholic. I'm not Orthodox Not a Protestant I'm a follower of Jesus Christ And I believe in this last hour God wants to break all those all those all that boxing up in tradition He wants to break it up because I could sit here and I could talk about the flaws of Protestants and the flaws of Baptist I could talk about all these different flaws. Who got what books and who has what? Let's dumb it down to one to one thing the whole Bible is a revelation of Jesus and humanity partnering back at the tree of life And I'm whatever I read I want to see it happen in my life. I want to experience God for real So the early church wasn't called Catholics or Protestants or they were called followers of the way Let's be people who can say, "Hey, you know what? I've experienced God. I've experienced His presence. I've experienced a Kairos moment. I've experienced deliverance. I've experienced healing. I've experienced His love. I've received and I've experienced a revelation of the gospel because how many Christians do you know? When you ask, "What's the gospel? Don't know." I heard someone say yesterday, 99 percent. I say about 90. Most Christians that you speak to, they can't tell you the gospel. And the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. So if I need to have a revelation of the gospel, but I don't even know the gospel, how can I say, "I'm saying..." This is crazy, bro, and I'm not questioning nobody's salvation

because I know people will get mad at me and say, "Oh, he's saying that people..." Look, I'm going to say this. "We have to have a revelation." Everyone say, "Revelation." It's not just intellectual knowledge. There's a lot of people who can intellectually tell you something that have no revelation in their heart. Didn't Jesus say, "Do this in remembrance of me? Let's change the word. Do this in revelation of me." When we sit down and we eat, the bread and we eat, and we drink the cup, is it just elements that we eat and drink and just be like, "Wow, I feel great because I ate bread and drink a cup and I was told to, is that what gives you comfort and peace? Or do I sit there and remember the body that was torn for me? The 39 whips in the garden when he swept blood, when he was arrested and mocked and put in purple scarlet, when a reed was beaten into his head. When he suffered, he was molds, unrecognizable. And as I begin to think, everyone say, "Think." And I begin to remember, like Jesus said, "What begins to happen? The spirit of God, the revelator, starts to bring revelation to my heart." And now I begin to experience what the body actually means. But five minutes ago, I had no experience. It was just head knowledge. So I go from head knowledge to experience in my heart. And then I go to the blood and I remember what Jesus did with his blood.

I remember how he spilled innocent blood, a sinless man. I remember how that Passover sacrifice under the old covenant had the bones had to be intact, but Jesus' bones also were intact and that he shed blood and his side was pierced and all these things, all the blood, I remember the blood that brings forgiveness. I remember the blood that releases me from the shackles of bondage in my soul and that I'm wiped clean. And because of the blood, I have mercy, I have grace, I have forgiveness, I have everything I need. And now the revelation of the blood goes from my mind to my heart once again. And now you know what begins to eat, my brothers and my sisters, my heart. Our heart has to eat. Our heart has to eat. Not just our mouth, our heart has to eat the body and the blood and that's what allows me to continue to endure to the end 'cause Jesus told them what he say, if you don't eat my flesh and drink my blood, you can't be what? His disciple. And you know what happened by the Christ? They left. Why do they leave? Because they didn't have revelation. So Jesus was teaching even then, if you don't have revelation of what this body and blood means, you will walk away too

and you won't make it. And then he looked at the disciples and said, you're gonna go too? They said, nah, they were hanging on so barely, I've just enough to believe to keep following him. And he said that you would do this in remembrance of me. So how important is the revelation of the body and blood? Without it, you will not endure to the end. Without a revelation of the gospel, everyone say the gospel. Without a revelation of the gospel message, this miracle healing at this altar won't be nothing. You'll get healed and feel great and go right back to the world. But then as I lay hands and you know in your heart, wow, Jesus Christ was whipped so that my body could be made whole, that Jesus Christ was beaten brutally, this man. God, guys, I want y'all to understand this. You know what irks me on people like reverence of this. I'm not gonna say what I really wanna say. This is the most important message ever is this gospel message. We need to lock in and stop coming to church just to come to church, but come to church for Christ. That's why the Bible says when we come together, we have to take communion. The Holy Spirit. Listen, the apostle say to commune, apostle Paul to commune with the Holy Ghost.

So when I take the body and I take the blood and I remember the gospel, who am I experiencing in real time? The Holy Ghost. And I feel his presence when I'm in worship, communion. And I feel his presence as I'm preaching the gospel, communion. And I feel his presence as I'm taking communion of the elements. And I feel his presence when someone's getting baptized, they're feeling his presence. This whole physical element, things that we see, the sight that we see is to bring us into a spiritual reality that Jesus Christ truly is alive and that he's Lord. We have to know this. Do you know that Jesus is in his glorified body? Body. Seated at the right hand of the Father. He sent the Holy Spirit now so that we can have revelation of who he is. This is not fictitious. This is not just a story. I was teaching this yesterday, do what does it mean to be holy? Why do we say holy? Do we know body of Christ what holy even means? Elementary principles. That seems so mature. Well, I learned what holy meant. I would sing it and have no revelation of what it meant. And one day I said, God, I'm tired of this.

And I started doing research. And I read and I googled, holy means set apart. What does that mean? 'Cause it would bother me when I didn't know. And I started praying and saying, God, show me what holiness is. And so God revealed his glory to me in such a way that I understood what holy meant with the fear of God. That it means that Jesus is unlike anything you've ever experienced in your entire life and ever will. He sold set apart and different, that if you walked into this place right now, you would drop uncontrollably, not because you're trying to be nice and respect them, but because your body would not even be able to even understand what's going on and would naturally drop. You would glitch out. You would start shaking not because you made the choice to shake, you would drop not because you made the choice to drop, but because even your body knows that the creator has walked in and has to reverence him. Listen to me and catch it logically. We would all drop like this thing dropping right now. That's how fast we would all drop, not because we made a decision. If someone right now comes in and shoots a gunshot, we would still have the ability to say, gunshot, oh shoot, drop. But if Jesus walks in the atmosphere, he carries, it's so powerful that all of us would drop

uncontrollably and begin to shake, and then our mind would catch up with it and say, holy, holy, oh my God, you're so different, you're set apart, and we would freak out. Listen. And we get to experience now and worship a portion of that. Enough to, for us to all be able to stand. Enough for us to all to have a choice, to listen to the Holy Spirit when he says, get on your knees and lay on the ground. Some of you in here, the Holy Spirit's been telling you in the services, to get on your knees and lay down. And you've been proud for how many y'all have been hearing the Holy Spirit say, get on your knees and lay down and you haven't. Raise your hand, be honest. You see, you know what you've been probably worried about? How people are gonna look at you. And worship, are we engaging when communing with the Holy Ghost to ask them how we should posture our body and our heart so that we can actually be, like have at least a little bit of a good incense to God. Are we coming here for performance because it looks cool on social media and we wanna look like a cool church and maybe the camera will get on us, on us during the live a week and snip it up and put it on our social media. Are we coming here after the presence of God?

I'm gonna give you a key though. Listen to me, the Lord just rerouted this whole message 'cause it's gonna help you. This brings healing. He said my house will be called a house of prayer. Look up that word in the Greek. It means presence. My house will be called a house or deep into hermeneutics. It means my house will be called a house of presence. So what should we be running after when we come? What should we be desiring and coming to contend for? The presence of God to be intense and magnified. Listen, because I wanna experience a portion of this Jesus who carries the fullness of glory. And you know when the Holy Spirit will manifest the presence of God so we can experience it and be like, oh my gosh, when we all posture our hearts to what Jesus Christ did for us. 'Cause we're all part of the body of, So who's the pattern? Christ, who's our example? Christ, who should we wanna be like? Christ, the whole purpose of life is to be, is to experience Christ, which leads us to the Father so we can know, like John 17, three says, Christ, the Father, experience, yes, I wanna know you Lord, and the Spirit of God wants us to know Jesus, the Father, who he is, the all three persons, one God.

This revelation can only be revealed to those who genuinely desire it and want God. You know why denominations were birth? Because people got to a certain point of revelation and didn't wanna accept the fact that they gotta die to themselves and seek God and ask him for more. It's called pride. People start denominations in their own life with different things. God shows them, hey son, hey daughter, I want you to go deep in this and we decide to start our own denomination, our own ideologies, and we wanna do our own thing instead of following God. And then we wonder while we don't see fruit. We wonder while we're in the wilderness wandering around for so long, when we should be bearing a hundredfold, 30 fold, 60 fold, but you don't understand it, pastor, I have gifts and talents, have a calling, yes you do, but there's a process you have to go through and you know what it takes, everyone say obedience. It takes obedience and God wants to intimately show you, can you reveal things through your leadership or through your wife or husband, of course. But when I listen to someone speak, I'm saying, Holy Spirit is this you or is it not? I don't care about my feelings. As a matter of fact, when my feelings don't like, the Holy Spirit is telling me through someone or intimately or through a dream, I know that this is an opportunity for me to change

or repent. I get excited for the surgery because I know when I go through this process, I'm changing and I'm coming out more like Christ. And yes, this month has been so much warfare. What are you looking at it as? The double beating you up or God developing you? I don't know about you, but I get excited for warfare. Warfare. I told my wife, we gotta stop calling it warfare. Let's call it heart processing. When that heart processing season comes, you can tell who's really been in the spirit, who's been in the Word, who's been praying. Who's with Jesus ascending? You can tell. And God wants all of you for the people in the back. I wanna say this and I love you. He wants all of you. I had a man messaged me on Instagram. I don't even know if he's here tonight. I haven't even responded yet. He was supposed to do 100 years in prison for some fraud stuff, got locked up. In prison started seeing our ministry from Sanford. Said because if he was a whole pastor at one point, ministry guy, all that. And because of the stuff he saw from our ministry, he learned that he's a fully surrender in prison, fully surrendered instead of doing all these years,

ended up doing 17 months and got out. And was saying, thank you and all these things. But you know what he realized in prison as a man who was a pastor leading people doing all these crazy things? He never fully surrendered. So you can be a Christian and never fully surrender. And then you know what ends up happening? You start deterring off the wrong path. Off the right path to the wrong path. You went from a pastor to a scammer, to a drug addict, to a womanizer. How do you go from pastor? I tell you how, Pierre just preached it. You unplug from the vine. You unplug from the vine and you hoard everything God has given you all the gifts and talents. And think because of your gifts that you're just, this almighty person just could deserve everything. And you fall off the branch and you go, man, what the grace of God and the mercy of God will chase you down because he's that loving if you have breath in your lungs. I want you to catch this. The only reason we can breathe is because God is allowing us to breathe. This is serious, bro. If he wants us to, if he's like his time, in a nice and safara in the book of Acts, did Peter say, did you not lie to,

did you not just lie to the Holy Spirit? Just to give you context for those that don't know, this story. And everyone was told to sell all their belongings and bring it to the apostles' feet so it could be evenly distributed amongst this early church. 3,000 souls just got saved. The apostles are probably sitting there freaking out. What are we gonna do? 3,000 people just came to Christ. We don't even have a job. One's a fisherman, the other one's a tax collector, the other one's a zealot. They got all these positions. They're probably like, what are we gonna do? Let's just pray. And they begin to pray and the Spirit of God says, hey, for this, for right now, for the rainbow, for now, I want you to tell everyone to sell everything they have and bring it to the apostles' feet. This is not a command for everybody. and weaponize it to tell their flock, give me everything you have. No, that was for that time and that period. And everybody did exactly what they were told because everyone just experienced God and moved through the Holy Spirit. And everybody listened, but then you got this one married couple who decided,

you know what, let's keep a portion to the side. They'll never know. Life comes in, hey, here you go. And Peter, by the Spirit, everyone say word of knowledge. Here's the Holy Ghost, say she's lying. Did you just lie to the Holy Spirit? Drops dead. Was it the husband that went in first or the way? Sorry, the Holy Spirit said that, sorry. Sorry. Thank God for the Holy Spirit. So the husband comes in first, drops dead. Wife comes in first, trying to act low, drops dead. They get dragged out and buried. How many of y'all believe they weren't saved? They were saved. These were Christians that were saved. Why did God do that? Why did he allow them, why did he kill them? Why did he allow them to die? I'll tell you why, because God is still all of it. And I asked God this for years and God gave me revelation. He says, son, if they would have continued doing what they were doing, they would have infected the entire church. They would have been able to start telling people, hey, we kept a little portion back and Peter didn't even know that. And they would have started moving like a little cold, like Absalom, but we ain't under the old covenant no more.

They are moving with that Absalom spirit. And God said, you know what, I love my son and my daughter. They're not listening. And then the Bible says, after they dropped that, you know, the fear of the Lord dropped on the church. And everyone said, oh, shoot. So instead of the enemy's plan, which was to bring deception to the church, the fear of the Lord dropped on the church. And everybody started worshiping and, oh, shoot, we got to get right. Did I really give everything? I got to make sure, are you good? I could only imagine. Some people say, that's me. Is it? That's the early church that was about to bring revival. When God is doing something, you can't stop him. He is all powerful. That's why when you're in a church and the Holy Spirit is really there, just know the Holy Spirit is all powerful for real. And you should honor him in reverence to word of God and reverence Jesus, not because of a man or a minister, reverence to the Holy Spirit. I'm not sitting here trying to scare people and think you're going to drop dead. It's the scriptures that people don't want to talk about. It's in Western American church and American Christianity, it's all lovey doggy.

Just be nice to everybody. That's what love is. Being nice is not love. Love is truth. I'm just being honest. My family member, if I love you and I know you're wrong and I don't tell you and I don't, man, like I don't love you for real. Open rebuke is better than secret love. The wound of a friend is faithful and the kiss of an enemy is deceiving. (gentle music) I want to be corrected by God. He's not always correcting, but he does correct. Doesn't he lead you to all truth to the Holy Spirit? Should the Holy Spirit be correcting us in our life? When we're in conversation and maybe we didn't say with the right heart or we said the wrong thing, shouldn't the Holy Spirit be like, "Hey, just like right now he corrected me." I said, "You were wrong." It was the husband first. Thank God. Is there somebody would have clipped me up and said, "False prophet." And you can still do it. I don't care. What I'm saying is, man, the Holy Spirit is leads us to truth, he corrects, he loves, he edifies, he encourages, he raises, he does all those things.

Like, and that's what the Spirit of God, that's why he uses the Word of God. 'Cause the Word of God is that sword, it's that measuring stick to bring us into deeper revelation. Like, man, I'm wrong in my heart and I need you to separate this Lord. Holy Spirit, have your way. Holy Spirit's the one that does the surgery, he starts working on you. Okay, you're good. That hurt a lot, but look at you now. You ever realize in seasons? How many people feel like they've been going through the same cycle for a minute? Raise your hand. Okay, I'm gonna break you through. This is healing. You've been going through the cycle, God shows you your heart issue and you cry out to God because of how painful it is. But what happens is, is the wounds open, but the healing never hits. Y'all listening, I have one person listening to your life will change. Everyone say, how do we get healed then? [BLANK_AUDIO] lashed, forged, that He went through everything He went through so I could be healed. That by His stripes, I'm healed. So what do I see when I'm in prayer and my phone's behind me and I'm laid out?

I got a pillow on the ground. I'm laid out in my closet. I got a pillow on the ground and I'm worshiping God. My worship instrument was behind me on my phone. And the Lord shows me in the area of my heart, what do I do? I stopped thinking about all the things I did wrong or what people did bad to me. And I realize, okay, all that happened, but it's to bring me to this point right now where my heart is hurting and say, "Jesus, you were whipped for me to be healed and I received it." And now what happens is the wound, the trauma leaves and goes on His body. And then the power of the Holy Spirit fills my heart and it becomes a supernatural chance for us. Some of you are listening right now like this sounds crazy, just like the people who left when Jesus said, "Unless you eat my or drink my same people, because you want it to be easy. You want it to be carnal." Some of you might want to pay for your healing, like Simon the Sorcerer. Or how about this? Work for your healing, you're feeling titled because you do so much in the church. Everything that we do in ministry should flow from intimacy with God. How can I do it, though, God? How can I do it, though, pastor? How do I do it? It's simple. I've experienced so much in the secret place or just with God that it makes me want to do more for God because I know He's with me and He's real. If I lack experience, I lack the right heart posture and I'll start doing things just like we see in the Bible, like Cain, like the prodigal son's brother, like we see with Absalom and Saul. We start moving like them because we're depending on us and not God.

That's called pride. Y'all with me? I got to repent, just like you. I got to seek God just like you or I'll be disqualified. How many of y'all love your family? I don't want my family to look at me and say, "Man, He was on fire for 10 years and fell into all these other scents." I don't want to be that guy and I know that it will happen if I don't seek God. I'm not ignorant to that. So I cry out to God to give me a desire to seek Him. I cry out to God to give me a desire to want to grow. I cry out to God for these things. When I'm not feeling it, Joe, in my heart, and I don't want to cry out to God to help me because I know that I need Him even then. I'll cry out to God in my heart and public and be like, "God, I don't even want to go seek You. I want to go do this instead. But I know I need to seek You. God, give me a desire." Or even though I don't like it, I know I need to go. I'm going to go pray. I'm going to go worship. Even though I should be, I'm still going to go seek You because I know if I seek You, the Bible says all these different things, I'll be rewarded openly. Those who seek the Lord diligently will be rewarded openly. Those who seek the Lord will be covered under His mighty wings. There's so many scriptures. Either we believe the Word is real or we don't. If right now you're at a point where you're like, "I don't know if the Bible is real. It's written by men.

Then go cry out to God and say, "God, show me why the Bible is real." That's what I did. I had a whole encounter with the Holy Spirit and still was doubting if the scriptures are even real. I thought they were written by men and I'm not going to follow it. I already had an encounter with the Holy Spirit. That's all I need. God started showing me, "Hey, son, you need the Bible. You need the scriptures. You need discipleship. You need this. You need that. You need a church." All this happened because I seek God. I'm asked them. But I tell you this, my heart was postured, postured differently in so many moments and there was so much good that I had to go to God and cry. A lot of crying, a lot of snot, a lot of coughing up and throw up, a lot of screaming, literally screaming and closets, a lot of walking around my neighborhood, screaming to God, not caring what people think. A lot of crazy moments where I didn't care and I checked out from reality and just cried out to the God who was up there and everywhere and said, "God, I need you. I want more of those moments because when I get vulnerable with God and I'm like the child crying out to my father or I'm like David dancing around in my drawers, my God sees me." And even though people must say, "You're crazy, but you know what's going to happen?" He'll reward me openly and show people, "You see, this is my son." So my approval, I don't ever want to be approved by a man because of my personality or because of the way I dress. I want people to say, "He's a man of God because I see God moving in his life."

How many people want the same thing? Let me stand up real quick and I want you to cry out to God right now with everything you have if you really want Jesus. Go. [BLANK_AUDIO] Cry out to God and ask Him. Work on my heart, Jesus. Change me, Lord. I need you, align me, Lord. Break me and build me, Lord. I wanna desire you more than everything, Jesus. Do it, I need you, I'm only human. I need you, the perfect one. Hallelujah. In Jesus' name, amen. (congregation cheering) And I pray that this will give you a little preview of what you need to do alone with Jesus. And I pray you get sloppy and you get crazy and you like start moving like all over and you like a baby on the ground with Jesus. I pray you get wild with the Lord. That's loving Him with all your mind, soul, spirit and body. Mind, body, soul, and spirit, right? Everything, mind, heart, soul, body. I just need you, right? I just need you, Jesus. Exodus 15, 26 says, "You will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes

and pay attention to his commands and keep all his statutes, then I will not bring on you any of the diseases. I inflicted on the Egyptians for I am the Lord who heals." This is the first time God introduced himself as healer in the Bible. And that was three days after the Red Sea. Israel just watched the Red Sea split. And three days later, they're in the desert, thirsty, and the water is bitter and God makes the water sweet. And then he tells them his name. You know what name means? Everyone say reputation. He tells them who he is. "I am the Lord who heals." In Hebrew, it's Yahweh Raffa. And Raffa means to mend, to repair, to make whole. It's the same word used for a doctor stitching a wound. And notice he didn't say, "I will heal you once." He said, "I am." That's a name, not a transaction. So God did not introduce himself to the Israelites as a healer for one day, he told them his name, which is continuous. It doesn't expire. And even David knew it. Psalm 103 verse two says, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, "and do not forget all his kind deeds or benefits, "he who forgives all your iniquities "and what heals all your diseases."

So God forgives and heals in the same breath. David didn't put it in two different categories. He put it in one that God who forgives is the same one who heals. So the same God that forgave your sins, He's not nervous about your sickness. God is not freaking out saying, "Oh, I'm so nervous." No, the same God who forgave your sins can heal you like this. And then some people say, "Then why doesn't God "heal me right now? "Receive, receive from the vine. "Open up your heart and realize you need to depend "on God in your heart and receive it." Oh, but I just wanted to do it. No, you need to open up your heart and humble yourself and realize you need him and he is who he says he is and receive his healing, whether it's a miracle, whether it's progressive or whether it's to transition the glory. But I know he's healer regardless. But I believe tonight he's going to heal at this altar. Miraculously. I love when the naysayers start looking crazy. I love it. People come here, they're like, "Well, I've seen it online. "I'm gonna see if it's in person." Are these any actors? I've seen the videos. Let's see.

The same ones crying at the altar actually giving their life to Jesus. Don't get mad at the people that are following the word. Go to the word that convicts you and changes your heart and realize that you have pride. Realize that you have unbelief and cry out to God and say, "God, help me with my unbelief." You think he's trippin'? He already knows you have it. You can't hide it. I cry out to God about my unbelief and doubt. Regularly. Whenever there's an area of my heart that has unbelief for any situation in my life and I get conflicted and I get pressed with it and I realize, "Oh, shoot." I say, "God, I need you. "I need you. "I need you. "I'm fearful right now. "I'm fearful and I know if I don't release this to you, "I'll get pride for it." And I'll start to harden my heart in this area and start justifying it with something else. So Jesus helped me and I release it to him and I know he cares. Amen. Isaiah 53.4 says, "Surely he took our infirmities "and carried our sorrows yet. "We considered him stricken by God,

"struck down and afflicted." So Jewish people who read the Torah, they read this verse and still say that Jesus Christ is not God and that he's not the Messiah. So many Messianic prophecies, he took our infirmities. Some people might say that spiritual sickness pastor, look at this Matthew settles it for us, watch what he does with that exact same verse, Matthew 816. When evening came, many who were demon possessed were brought to Jesus and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah. He took on our infirmities and carried our diseases. So was this in the book of Matthew when it was, the eyewitness account of the miracles and the life of Jesus Christ's ministry was he talking about spiritual sickness or sickness in the soul? No, he was talking about devils being casted out and bodies being healed. Matthew watched Jesus heal real bodies, real fevers, real disease and said, that's Isaiah 53. I know that Isaiah 53 carries both. Verse 4 is about our sickness, verse 5 is about our sin. He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities, the cross dealt with what you did and what's attacking your body. So Jesus didn't just carry your sin, he carried your diagnosis. This is where people get hurt, listen. Everything was paid for at the cross, but not every healing shows up the moment we pray. Every believer will one day get a body that never gets sick again. Some get a down payment of that tonight, okay? Some people will get healed tonight. How many times have we seen people come to the altar, half the people get healed and half the people go back sitting down wondering why they weren't healed? There was a man in the Bible who was sick, the disciples asked why is he sick because of the sins of his ancestors and Jesus said no, it's just to bring glory to the Father.

There's so many directions and so many verses that we can place in our life, but how do we know what God is saying in our life? How do we know, can I take different Bible verses and apply it to what's going on in my life? That's my first question. Can I take different Bible verses and apply it to what's going on in my life? Yes. And can some of these Bible verses even contradict themselves? So then how do we know what Bible verse is rightly applied to the situation we're going through for the people in the back? It's called the Ramon word. The Spirit of God will speak to you about what you need in the moment. He will lead you to the Scriptures and say, hey, this is the verse that I want you to pray for your life. I want you to pray it over your situation. For three and a half years, being my wife or wondering why my wife still has breast cancer. When people are getting miraculous to heal that our service is, and she continued to pray the Word of God through her progressive healing. Did God still heal her? Yes. But it wasn't when we desired is when he wanted it. Oh, but you don't get it, brother. Maybe it was because you could say maybe it was because of all these things, but it's got all powerful and it's got personal and intimate with us. So God will show us and take us through our process, whether it's physical healing, whether it's a marriage being healed, whether it's a child being healed, and I have compassion for all situations. Everyone is going through something, whether it's your family members being saved. Oh, but you don't understand, man, I've been praying for 20 years. Some people have been praying for 20 years for their sickness to be healed.

It gets real now because then you got to actually realize that God, right? God does it when he wants to and some people will come at me, no, he always, yes, he always wants us to be healed. What if I told you, his heart was never for us to even die? Is it God's will that we die? Is it God's will that we have depression? Is it God's will that there's wars going on? Is it God's will that there's little kids being sex trafficked? Is it God's will that there's an Islamic religion that falls? No, none of this is the will of God. This is the product of sin. We live in this time-based, fallen world and we have to go through things in life, but we trust in who, Jesus, the Lord of our salvation. My brothers and my sisters, one scary thing that I know myself that sometimes shakes me is that we're going to go through things in life. That's why the Apostle Paul said to Live His Christ and die His game. He went through a lot. He went through shipwrecks. He went through being stoned to death multiple times. He went through imprisonment for years. Things that we, none of us in this room would ever want to go through. He went through persecution. He went through sickness. He went through all types of stuff. I was reading history that the Apostle Paul, I think he was like four foot five. He was a dwarf. Not for real, but look it up. He was disrespected by the church in Corinth that he built and gave his blood, sweat, and tears for. In Second Corinthians, he had to rebuke them.

You know why they didn't like him because of the way he looked, because he looked weak. He built the whole church in Galatia because he was sick and had to stop. He lost friends that went to the world, closed companions that he walked with for years and discipled them and they went to the world and he was right in the letters, the pain of a man that was in a fallen world preaching Christ. We're going to go through it too. So we have to get to that point where we say, okay, this world is not going to be my satisfaction. It has to be Jesus. That's the only way we can walk this walk out and actually bear fruit. We're going to bury people. There's going to be people that are going to be sick in our life, there's going to be healed in our life. There's going to be people that go through divorces, there's going to be people that go through marriages. It's going to all happen, but we need to preach Christ and our hope should be in heaven. Our hope should be in where we're going next and the God of this heaven. And as he manifests himself here on earth in this time-based reality, that's a deposit, that's a reminder that the God that we serve is alive and active and it gives us more hope for where we're going next. We can't put our hope in money. We can't put our hope in a relationship with a human. We can't put our hope in our kids. We can't put our hope in our wife and husband. We can't put our hope in this ministry. We can't put our hope in a pastor. We can't put our hope in a viral video. We can't put our hope in a successful business. We have to put our hope in Jesus Christ or we will be taken out by the enemy for the exact same idol that we're putting our hope in. You don't think the devil knows the exact idol that you're idolizing?

You don't think these demons watch you and laugh and say, "Look at this guy in this grace. They can't give this up. We're going to use this same thing to destroy them." That's why the Holy Spirit is convicting you and saying, "Hey, die to yourself and get rid of that thing and be done. He's gracious and merciful and he's waiting but then there's a grace period and Christians going through things so well and they go through all this chaos and they go through all this destruction and they sit there and say, "Why? Like God didn't tell you. God's not evil. He's good." People don't want him who wants Jesus so that how important is it to seek Jesus? Seek him while you can still find him. Bro, this is the whole point of churches that we can drive into more deeper revelation into Messiah who Jesus is. That's my safety net. That's my safe haven. I need you, Jesus. Where you get all this boldness from, brother? You're so bold. You think I care about people saying that. I don't get boldness because my personality is because Jesus Christ has given me experience in life to the point where I know he's real so I can actually do what I'm doing. I don't walk in a witchcraft store because I'm just ganked to know. That's because I've seen Jesus cast devils out of so many people. I've seen the Holy Ghost through miracles in my life and I've seen demons manifest and people that speak. I've seen bodies contort. I've seen things that are crazier than movies.

So when I walk into a witchcraft store, I know those same demons that I've casted out are in here running. I know that Jesus is Lord. They know that Jesus is Lord and they know that I know. They know that I know. They know that I know and I know that I know their tactics and warfare and I know what I need to do is to run to Jesus. So I walk into a witchcraft store, expose it and pray for people. Guess what happens after the video when I go home? I go straight to Jesus and I go back to the secret place, God, I need you. Thank you. You're so real alive and he covers me and protects me and protects my wife and protects It's my family. But you don't get it, brother, I'm supposed to have a social media platform and be known. You want to be known for you, not for Jesus. Your heart's not ready to handle it. It's walking Christ, it's real. They ain't about the clicks and views, it's about him. The clicks and views are going to go. One day there'll be nothing. Fifteen years ago, how popping was Facebook? Who remembers my space? Who still has my space? I don't. Think about it in the next five years probably because the AI of Instagram will be a thing of the past or it'll be developed into a whole other thing. It's like what we think is so cool now, it's not going to be cool five years from now. Get over it. Stop living for the world. That's for Jesus, who's eternal.

What did Jesus say, Joe? Rack up for yourself treasures in heaven. He said, stack up in heaven. He said, you can stack up and rack up and you can have a desire to pile up in heaven. Store it for yourselves treasures in heaven where it can't be destroyed. You're worried about money here on earth and guess what happens next year, you're going to death. All these things happen. You got to pay these bills and those bills. Is that what you're doing it for or are you doing it to store treasures in eternity? I want the eternal God to reveal himself to me, not that God of this world is going to burn in the lake. God of this world going to the lake with all his demons they lost, they're just done. Everyone say the devil lost. I know he lost. You? Is the devil bigger than God in your life or are they polar opposites? The demons have lost. They're being used by God now to develop us. They're on the leash. God wants to develop us, but they want to destroy us. My people die for lack of knowledge. So what's the whole purpose of this life? To experience Christ. Who wants the answer to life, going once, going twice, experience Christ. Some of you thought of maybe it's your calling, maybe you thought it was being known, maybe you thought it was the wife or the husband. You thought it was the baby, maybe you thought it was, all these things can happen. God will give you the desires of your heart more than you can think or imagine, amen. But the whole purpose of all that too is to experience Christ through my wife, Christ

through my children, Christ through a ministry, Christ through music, Christ through this church. I want to experience Christ and what I do, I don't want the experience to be more than Christ. I don't want to experience something and Christ is not in it or he's in it, but I'm not even aware of him being in it. That's what happens when you got worshippers and everybody knows them and they're going viral and oh yes. People actually like me finally because there's something in their hearts still, they're still moving like an orphan and now everyone's clapping and now the stage does not become about Jesus even though they're singing about Jesus, their idol becomes their praise on the altar. And then what happens when the next worship leader comes along the line and they're not popping anymore and now they're nobody, now they freak out and go to drugs because they need a new idol. You don't get it, brother. I'm going to start a ministry one day and have a big church. What happens when you finally get it? What happens when people start coming for your preaching? Is that going to be your idol? Because people will come and go. This is why people fall because what they did, what they've been doing doesn't satisfy them anymore. They need more, they need more, it's lust. Everyone say I want Jesus' love. I'm preaching on some mature stuff tonight. I think we need it as a body, I'm for real, I think we need it and it has everything. This is healing. How many are feeling the healing presence of God? I've seen so many people, and I'm not saying this to everybody, but I've seen a lot of people leaving as I'm preaching. Maybe they got to go to work tomorrow, I get it, it's late.

What I'm saying is like not everybody wants this message. Some people just want a word of knowledge. This is why I've said it a million times, I hate when people idolize me. They think if he talks to me or touches me, my life changes instead of wanting Jesus, even though I preach Christ a lot, I try to display my normality. I literally intentionally try to display my normality so people will stop idolizing because of a platform. [MUSIC] And that holier than thou, it's Jesus who heals, Jesus who saves, Jesus who delivers, it's Jesus who's alive, for real. And I want you to see me and be like, "Man, he does love Jesus and experience God, and I can too. I want you to. I want you to." That's how we destroy the works of Satan. When revival breaks out and everybody wakes up and realizes Jesus Christ is alive. Hallelujah, right? And when they sing it, they mean it. That stone has really rolled to the side. How many times have you sung it? You didn't see it. You see? My kids were singing it the other day. And they know the lyrics, they liked the four spring beats, amazing, it's an amazing anointed song. And I stopped and I said, Jeremiah, Richard, let's talk about it. Do you know what this means? And I explained the lyrics to them and they were like, and their mind started moving. And my son was like, oh, he stopped singing. I started thinking about it. Look at this.

Peter called the sick oppressed by the devil. So healing is not just medicine. Sometimes it's a rescue. Watch this, Luke 13 11 and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for 18 years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight when Jesus saw her. He called her over and said, woman, you are set free from your disability. Then he placed his hands on her and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God. 18 years bent over. Didn't we see last week a woman who had or was it last week or the week before where she had the things and couldn't even kneel down? Who saw that? Is she here tonight? I don't even know if she's here. Did she not get miraculously healed? And then her son get healed. It wasn't the husband freaking out. Then she said it was a minute. Like how many times have we heard people say it's been years and they get healed. That's the ministry of Jesus Christ. That's what the Holy Spirit does. He reveals Christ to people and the Bible becomes a life. I'm not boasting in me. I'm both. I don't need to pray for you. How many times have I prayed and I didn't touch nobody. The word healed, the spirit of God revealed that the scriptures I'm talking about are real. And there's going to be healing tonight. But what's the most important thing, guys, salvation. That's why we do this. Look, Luke 13 16 then should not this daughter of Abraham who's saying has kept

bound for 18 long years be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day. The religious leaders got mad because it was Sabbath. And Jesus calls her a daughter of Abraham. Nobody in that synagogue called her that they call her a bent over sick lady. And Jesus called her family. Jesus healed her body and restored her name in the same moment. Some of you have been bent over and suffering in your situation for so long. You forgot that you're a daughter or you're a son. God doesn't just want to heal you. He wants to restore your identity tonight to know that he's a father who loves you and is excited to be with you and to hold you and to engulf you in his love and revelation. He wants you to be so sold out that this world becomes undesirable to you. He wants you to look at the world and be like, that's whack. He wants you to look at the things that the world is doing and be able to walk in that environment and know it's so corny that Jesus Christ is late and that he's king. Putting it in layman terms for you guys. He wants you to walk into an environment that used to have you in bondage to demons and release people from the same bondage with authority and with revelation of who you are. That's where the boldness comes from, guys. Everyone say, Holy Spirit. That enemy kept her bound and bent over and Jesus made her stand up straight and look at him in the face. This is why healing and deliverance. A lot of times live in the same series. Jesus did not separate them in his ministry. Sometimes you pray for a back and Jesus casts out a spirit. There's a lot of times I pray for healing for people and I can hear the Holy Spirit say there's a demon on their back and I say that I was pre-praying and Jesus named every unclean spirit loose and Jesus name be healed. And I can see the spirit go in and they get healed and they don't even know there was a spirit on their back. How can a spirit be on their back because they're disconnected from the vine. They're not seeking God.

They're working in equity. They can't forgive. They're still bitter and they're allowing, like the Bible says, they're giving place or a foothold to the devil. [BLANK_AUDIO] You know how you give a foothold to the devil? By following him. That's it. How do you give a foothold to the devil? By doing his will. What's his will for you to get bitter and offended? You're not to forgive. You're gonna get prideful. For you to get lustful. For you to go to addiction. For you to do all the, the devil wants you back in the world in seven times worse. He's waiting to destroy you. But Jesus wants to give you life and life more abundantly. He wants to give you peace and joy. He wants to give you a family in Christ. He wants to blow your mind. Do things you can't even think or imagine. Then he wants to take you. I just think about it like my children. If my sons and my daughters were bound to demons for so long and they had no understanding and then they finally come home and they get saved, I want to clean them up and then I want to send them out to destroy those same demons. Think about it like if my son comes home

and he just got jumped and beat up, right? If I was still worthy. I'll still worthy. I'd be like, so I'm going to train you up and you're going to go back out there and you're going to fight them again. I wouldn't just want to go to this school and just beat them up for him. No, I'd say, son, we're going to train. We're going to train and we're going to train and you're going to get right, like a Rocky movie. You're going to go back and knock them out. That's what God wants us to do with these demons. He loves to train us and heal us and then get us right and go back and start. He loves it. He gets them so happy. I know it because he tells me he loves it. I walk into a club and go to a bartender. When I used to walk in the club's drunk and bound to sex and alcohol and all these things. Now I go to a bartender's and they leave the club and they get saved and come to the church. Now I go to the warlock who used to have witchcraft on me bound and they get demons casted out of them. When they get prayer from over a million people and they don't even know that life is changing. You don't think my father in heaven is like, that's my son. He got destroyed like this. He could, but he wants us to.

He wants you to. He wants you to do it. He wants you to go and free those relationships or those marriages that are about to be divorced. Yes, maybe you got divorced. Maybe you went through a traumatic situation with your, I just feel this by the spirit. Some of you have been through a marriage. There was divorce. There was adultery. There was pain. And God has healed you and he's training you up so that you can go help other marriages not go through the same thing. But you don't get it pastor. I lost my husband or I lost my wife. And now they're married to someone else. Okay, I'm sorry that's unfortunate. But now make a decision to make a promise. That you're going to make sure that demons don't do it as many people as you can. For how many people in here needed that word? That was for you. Raise your hand. Yeah. Stand up. I'm going to pray for you. The annoying thing that God will fall upon you to do that. Yeah, you got hurt. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I can only imagine I have compassion for real. It sucks. But now you're going to get trained up. And you're going to get healed. So Holy Spirit, I pray put your hands up in victory because you're victorious to the cross. Well, these are your children who are victorious to the cross. Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus Holy Spirit that you will fall upon them right now. Fall upon them right now, Holy Spirit. Fall upon them right now and anoint them Lord. So just bring marriages closer together to operate and deliverance and healing to get words of knowledge. Everything they need to help marriages be restored and not divorced. I thank you Lord. I see you're going to, in public, there's going to be situations where they talk to people and it's going to be the exact same situation they went through or similar and they're going to be able to counsel them and that word that's released from their mouth will change the trajectory of these people's lives. Even unbelievers, even Muslims won't get divorced and then they'll get saved and come to you Jesus. But you anoint them right now with fire and power and desire and love. In Jesus' name and the church says together, Amen. Rejoice because it's happening. Hallelujah.

Thank you Jesus. Jesus. Man. It's not groary in doing good man because the harvest is coming soon. Real quick. Following Jesus is not a fictitious religious traditional thing. Listen, if you need to give your life to Jesus tonight tonight. Serving Christ or coming to Jesus requires salvation. But listen to me real quick. You can only be saved through revelation. Because the Bible says you have to believe in your heart and that's where revelation is birthed. If you know you've never had a revelation of the gospel, you've never believed this gospel message that you should know and you want to know. I want you to stand up and come to the altar and I'm gonna preach the gospel to you. Stand up and come to the altar. Come right now. I'm gonna preach this gospel to you. (congregation applauding) Come on up. And we're still gonna pray for healing. Come on up. Come on up. Hallelujah, man. This is what it's about, salvation's. We can do a repeat after me prayer and we will, but I want you to know what you're saying before you say it.

'Cause if you don't, it'll just be a prayer from your mind or your lips, but nothing comes from your heart. Come on, yeah, come to the altar, man. Real salvation's. This is so good. And for everybody online, you can put a one in the chat. So this is good for people, perfect. I love it. It's all for matter. The gospel is this, two words. Your hands, your hands down. Relax. You look at me. I don't want you guys to, this is about to be lit because Jesus is excited. You guys are his children and you're coming home, and he's like, man, yes, like finally my children are home. He's not mad at you. First thing I'm gonna say is he's not mad at you. He's excited that you're coming home, okay? That's just heart. I'm not, God, you guys know that, right? But he's here everywhere. He's here. Hallelujah. Come on over. We met you last night, amen. Praise God. Yeah. Amen.

Everyone say good news. So, first is the bad news, okay? The bad news is because of sin, one sin, which God never wanted us to commit. In the garden with Adam and Eve, God gave him a plan of following him, connecting to the tree of life, Jesus, and getting those nutrients and sources to be able to expand humanity here on earth, through following him as he leads. God had a plan, has a plan, always will have a plan of us connecting to him and he leading us so that we can do his will. But because Adam and Eve were deceived to think that they can do it on their own and be like God, they decided to rebel against the one thing that God told them not to do, which is to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It's not just about the tree. It's about them depending on self and not depending on God, them wanting to be the highest power in their life and lead themselves and not let God lead them. Going from dependence to independence. When they decided to do what God told them not to do, and he said, if you do it, you will surely die. And when they did that, they did spiritually die. And immediately they were fearful and condemned and afraid and got fig leaves and tried to hide themselves and God pulled up on them and said hey, what happened? And he cursed humanity, he cursed the serpent.

And now we have to go through this life where we die, where we have to go through suffering and have other people in life go through suffering. God never intended this, this is a product of our free will decision as humanity. And then some people will say, well, I wouldn't have done it, yes, you would have. You would have, didn't God create us to do that? No, he didn't. He created us to be dependent on him. Well, did he know that humanity would fall? He did, but it doesn't mean that he didn't give us free will. Yes, he knows everything he's sovereign and he does give us free will. But he has a predestined plan, which the Bible says, is that none would perish, but all would come to repentance. All would be saved, but we decided to go away from that plan. He didn't create us to go away from that plan. He created us to be dependent on him, but he gave us free will to decide to love him or not. Adam and Eve decided to disconnect from love and go to self. And that's why humanity fell. That's why we have to go through this life. We have to live and know that we can't take anything with us, that one day we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna be lights out. This is what, this is the product of sin. The bad news is that we have to live a life like this. Everyone say bad news. Want to explain it in a way where people who think to,

think a lot like me would understand it. It goes back to sovereignty. It bothers people to know that a God created us to be with him, but then gave us free will not to decide to choose him. And that he knows outside of time and space who will choose him and who wouldn't. Does that mean pastor that he creates people to go to hell? No, he does not. But does he know who's gonna choose him? Yes, he does. So is this life for him? It's for us. The good news is even though we rebelled against God and we were disconnected from God and that one sin sends us straight to hell. Spiritual death, that means when we die and our soul pops out of our body and we're looking at our body wherever we died, whether it's a hospital bed, an apartment. When we're looking at our body and we're in the realm of the Spirit, at that moment we're either going to heaven or we're going to hell. These are not fictitious places. Heaven is not in the clouds, just chilling in hell. It's not just a hot place. Heaven is full connection with God. Leaving these body suits. And being in the fullness of what God has intended,

what he intended since the beginning, which is full connection and dependence on him. And hell is, guess what hell is, guys? If heaven is full connection and full glory, what is hell? Full separation. So this life is like a little testing ground, isn't it? Who loves God and who doesn't? Who wants him and who doesn't? Kinda reminds you of the fallen angels in heaven, right? The ones who wanted to be like God and decided to disconnect from God, what happened to them? They got casted down by Jesus that I saw him like lightning. Where are they going, guys? The lake of fire, they're going to hell. So the God created hell for us is for the fallen angels. So the good news is that Jesus, the Messiah, the image of the invincible God, this invincible God that right now, we cannot see, revealed himself in a body, Jesus. The fullness of God, everyone say, bodily, came to reveal the nature, character, essence and heart of God to us, born of a virgin, fulfilling mayceanic prophecies that the Old Testament prophets prophesied by the Spirit of God, not even understanding what they're saying about the one who would be wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. They prophesied about this Messiah,

but they didn't even understand fully what it meant because the Holy Spirit was moving through them. And finally, the prophecy was being fulfilled and Bethlehem and that manger and that feeding trough, Jesus was born. The son of a carpenter in Nazareth, the hood, poor area, small, raised learning carpentry, raised it and had to go to everything we've been through. He had to go through it, but he was sinless. He had to stay sinless. He was connected to the Father by the Spirit, born of the Spirit, sinless. At 30 years old, started his ministry. Baptized by Jordan, or John the Baptist in the Jordan River, Spirit of God descended upon him like a dove bodily, started his ministry going from city to city, revealing the power of God. His deity casting out devils, healing the sick, raising the dead, proving that he is who he says he is. And after three and a half years walking with the close three and the other close 12 and the multitudes who came to see him heal and deliver, he gave himself him to be arrested. Again, to fulfill prophecy. He allowed Judas to betray him. Again, to fulfill prophecy. He was lining up with everything in the Torah. I was spoken about him because he knew later when the Spirit would be poured out

that people would have a revelation of, oh my God, this is who I was reading about the entire time. Incognito came to rescue us. Even the demons didn't know what he was doing. The Bible says that if the demons would have known that by Jesus dying on the cross would destroy them, they would have never done it. All the demons, the fallen angels, the Nephilim, all of them in the spirit realm. They thought if we kill the Son of God, the Messiah, he won't judge us and send us to the lake. So their whole mission was to kill them, but they did not know that by through these people that they deceived, putting them up on a cross would actually destroy them. The Bible says that one sin is eternal separation is death, one sin with that blood is life. This is why all of us deserve to go to hell because we've all sinned a bunch of times but you don't get it, man, I'm a good person. You can go feed 10 million homeless people right now, but if you stand before a judge in Orange County, you've committed a murder that credit of feeding 100 million homeless people will not let you off the hook of the penalty of murder. You will have to pay the death penalty. And the Bible says one sin, penalty death. We've all lied, we've all lusted, we've all stolen or whatever, we've all done sin. So all of us deserve to go to hell,

full separation from God when we die. But the good news is there's one who never sinned. And not only did he come to forgive us of our sins, he came to take the punishment of our sins. So imagine we're in this courtroom and we are standing before a judge who knows we just committed a murder and we try to back out of it death penalty and we say okay and we just take it and say okay let's do it and then a guy comes in and walks in and says hey judge I'll go through what they're supposed to go through and I'll die for them let them go that's what Jesus did for us people in hell what are they going through everyone say torture they're being beaten they're being wounded they're being tortured they're being chastised so that means that we deserve the same thing we do full separation from God and torment weeping and gnashing of teeth and who went through weeping and gnashing of teeth for us who sweat blood because of anxiety because he saw what he was going to go through who was was tied to that whipping pulse being beaten 39 times with a nine tells whip who sat there and just took it and stayed silent after being mocked and spit on and ridiculed by the same people he healed and delivered who carried that cross Jesus we got that that that those crown of thorns beating into his head unrecognizable flesh so more than to form that the people couldn't even see that it was Yeshua and he went upon that cross and he was nailed to it holding his hands and feet tortured and then on that cross he cried out father father why have you forsaken me why not because he was separated from the godhead but because he experienced the full separation that sins bring the sins of the world all of that guilt and condemnation and everything that we feel when we sin all of that spiritual way of the world from the past present and future was placed on him and in him so he experienced separation the same separation that people in hell experience all those hours on that cross and then when the fullness of the wrath of God for the sins of the world was satisfied he said is finished and he gave up the ghost and he died you know under the old covenant the Passover lamb that would atone for the sins of Israel could not have one bone broken and on that cross when Jesus was nailed to it after he died now one of his bones were broken the two thieves on the cross the two criminals on the cross

their bones were broken but he was none of his bones were touched it was showing that he's now our Passover lamb the lamb who takes away the sins of the world there's no more sacrifices no more killing of animals and goats it's now Jesus the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world so then then now how do we get saved brother it's by knowing that you have sinned then you deserve to go to hell but that there's one who came to take your punishment and to shed perfect blood so that you can be forgiven so what must I do to be saved I'll tell you believe that he is Lord the highest power and follow him like he's Lord don't believe he's Lord 20 percent but tonight make it a decision to know that Jesus Christ is truly the highest power and I'm following him it doesn't mean you're going to be perfect it just means you're going to follow the perfect one that you're locked in you're gonna you're gonna grow in Christ and you're not faking it for real believe that in your heart that he's Lord believe that he really did rise from the dead because after he died on that cross because he never sinned he overcame death and rose from the dead on the third day and if he rose from the dead that means he's still alive so you must be believe he's Lord but must believe he rose from the dead and now because you believe this you got to repent and you got to stop following your wicked ways following yourself following the world and other people and make the decision to fully follow Jesus again it does not mean perfection you're going to mess up we all do you're not saved by being perfect you're saved by faith his grace your faith see by grace through our faith faith just means to believe and follow so according to this good news message which again is that you deserve to go to hell but there's one who came and took that punishment for you and now is giving you salvation to be saved so that way you can die and know that you're going straight to heaven if you're ready to believe that message I want you to put your hands up high and if there's anyone that needs to come to the altar Jesus died publicly for you come and give your life to him publicly come to the altar if you know you need to give your life to Jesus come on up here we're going to pray for you hallelujah and I want you to say this say Jesus that you were buried and you rose from the dead on the third day your blood forgives me say this I am forgiven and I repent and turn to you wholeheartedly I'm following you all the way come on prayer words come up you guys put your hands down we're gonna lay hands come on prayer words lay hands but yes the name of Jesus thank you Holy Spirit fill your people fill your people fill your people Holy Spirit thank you that they're born
