- I want to talk to you
00:00:19.532 --> 00:00:23.303
- I want to talk to youabout the power of expectation.
00:00:23.303 --> 00:00:25.138
about the power of expectation.There had been 400 years
00:00:25.138 --> 00:00:28.308
There had been 400 yearsof silence, 400 years
00:00:28.308 --> 00:00:29.776
of silence, 400 yearsthe Old Testament ends
00:00:29.776 --> 00:00:32.078
the Old Testament endsin the Book of Malachi,
00:00:32.078 --> 00:00:34.180
in the Book of Malachi,with silence.
00:00:34.180 --> 00:00:35.882
with silence.God refuses to speak,
00:00:35.882 --> 00:00:37.584
God refuses to speak,no prophets,
00:00:37.584 --> 00:00:40.086
no prophets,no words from the Lord.
00:00:40.086 --> 00:00:44.324
no words from the Lord.And we move 400 years ahead
00:00:44.324 --> 00:00:45.859
And we move 400 years aheadand we pick the story up
00:00:45.859 --> 00:00:47.494
and we pick the story upin the Book of Luke,
00:00:47.494 --> 00:00:49.229
in the Book of Luke,where now the Bible gives us
00:00:49.229 --> 00:00:53.633
where now the Bible gives usa clue to how the atmosphere
00:00:53.633 --> 00:00:54.701
a clue to how the atmospherethat the Holy Spirit
00:00:54.701 --> 00:00:56.302
that the Holy Spiritwas looking for
00:00:56.302 --> 00:00:58.438
was looking forto be poured out in.
00:00:58.438 --> 00:01:00.974
to be poured out in.And it says: "And the people
00:01:00.974 --> 00:01:04.878
And it says: "And the peoplewere in expectation."
00:01:04.878 --> 00:01:07.580
were in expectation."One translation or one Bible,
00:01:07.580 --> 00:01:08.781
One translation or one Bible,I think it's the English Bible,
00:01:08.781 --> 00:01:11.251
I think it's the English Bible,said that: "The people
00:01:11.251 --> 00:01:14.220
said that: "The peoplewere on tip toes in
00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:18.958
were on tip toes inanticipation and expectation."
00:01:18.958 --> 00:01:23.563
anticipation and expectation."It's tip toe time again.
00:01:23.563 --> 00:01:26.966
It's tip toe time again.We need to understand that
00:01:26.966 --> 00:01:29.235
We need to understand thatif God is going to do something,
00:01:29.235 --> 00:01:30.803
if God is going to do something,He looks for people
00:01:30.803 --> 00:01:34.407
He looks for peoplewho have expectation.
00:01:34.407 --> 00:01:35.475
who have expectation.It's tip toe time
00:01:35.475 --> 00:01:37.744
It's tip toe timearound Free Chapel.
00:01:37.744 --> 00:01:38.945
around Free Chapel.It's tip toe time
00:01:38.945 --> 00:01:41.381
It's tip toe timein the Body of Christ.
00:01:41.381 --> 00:01:44.617
in the Body of Christ.We need to expect God
00:01:44.617 --> 00:01:47.854
We need to expect Godto pour out His Spirit.
00:01:47.854 --> 00:01:50.323
to pour out His Spirit.We need to start getting up
00:01:50.323 --> 00:01:51.858
We need to start getting upon our tip toes
00:01:51.858 --> 00:01:53.793
on our tip toesand expect God to do
00:01:53.793 --> 00:01:56.396
and expect God to dothe impossible again.
00:01:56.396 --> 00:01:58.531
the impossible again.With great anticipation,
00:01:58.531 --> 00:02:00.700
With great anticipation,with great expectation,
00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:03.102
with great expectation,we're on our tip toes, saying,
00:02:03.102 --> 00:02:05.004
we're on our tip toes, saying,"Lord, what's going to happen
00:02:05.004 --> 00:02:07.340
"Lord, what's going to happenin this service today?"
00:02:07.340 --> 00:02:09.976
in this service today?"Praise in expectation.
00:02:09.976 --> 00:02:12.612
Praise in expectation.Sow in expectation.
00:02:12.612 --> 00:02:15.114
Sow in expectation.Pray in expectation.
00:02:15.114 --> 00:02:16.583
Pray in expectation.Expect miracles,
00:02:16.583 --> 00:02:18.017
Expect miracles,expect the outpouring
00:02:18.017 --> 00:02:19.352
expect the outpouringof the Holy Spirit,
00:02:19.352 --> 00:02:20.820
of the Holy Spirit,because the atmosphere
00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:22.922
because the atmospherethat the fire and the baptism
00:02:22.922 --> 00:02:24.357
that the fire and the baptismof the Holy Spirit
00:02:24.357 --> 00:02:26.025
of the Holy Spiritis poured out in,
00:02:26.025 --> 00:02:27.126
is poured out in,is when people
00:02:27.126 --> 00:02:31.364
is when peopleare in expectation.
00:02:31.364 --> 00:02:33.032
are in expectation.Colossians 2:14
00:02:33.032 --> 00:02:34.200
Colossians 2:14said He blotted out
00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:35.668
said He blotted outthe ordinance against us,
00:02:35.668 --> 00:02:37.237
the ordinance against us,He took it out of the way,
00:02:37.237 --> 00:02:39.272
He took it out of the way,and nailed it to the cross.
00:02:39.272 --> 00:02:40.373
and nailed it to the cross.I want to announce to you
00:02:40.373 --> 00:02:42.008
I want to announce to youtoday that there is nothing
00:02:42.008 --> 00:02:44.477
today that there is nothingbetween you and your miracle.
00:02:44.477 --> 00:02:46.246
between you and your miracle.He has removed it
00:02:46.246 --> 00:02:47.647
He has removed itand nailed it to the cross,
00:02:47.647 --> 00:02:48.748
and nailed it to the cross,and you need to be
00:02:48.748 --> 00:02:51.017
and you need to beon your tip toes
00:02:51.017 --> 00:02:52.852

00:02:56.789 --> 00:02:59.559
is ready to do somethingin this service today.
00:02:59.559 --> 00:03:01.394
in this service today.Expect God to pour out
00:03:01.394 --> 00:03:03.363
Expect God to pour outHis Spirit, today,
00:03:03.363 --> 00:03:05.531
His Spirit, today,on your family, on you,
00:03:05.531 --> 00:03:07.667

00:03:07.667 --> 00:03:11.037
on the people all around you.Expect pain to leave your body.
00:03:11.037 --> 00:03:12.839
Expect pain to leave your body.Expect to be healed.
00:03:12.839 --> 00:03:14.607
Expect to be healed.Expect to receive a miracle.
00:03:14.607 --> 00:03:16.376
Expect to receive a miracle.Expect to be delivered
00:03:16.376 --> 00:03:18.878

00:03:20.913 --> 00:03:23.216
fear, depression, defeat.Expect it.
00:03:23.216 --> 00:03:26.352
Expect it.Psalms 119:126 said:
00:03:26.352 --> 00:03:29.489
Psalms 119:126 said:"It is time for You to work,
00:03:29.489 --> 00:03:30.390
"It is time for You to work,for they have made
00:03:30.390 --> 00:03:31.557
for they have madevoid Your law."
00:03:31.557 --> 00:03:32.292
void Your law."In other words,
00:03:32.292 --> 00:03:33.893
In other words,when you see people
00:03:33.893 --> 00:03:35.461
when you see peoplejust disregarding God
00:03:35.461 --> 00:03:36.396
just disregarding Godand His Word,
00:03:36.396 --> 00:03:38.698
and His Word,that's not a time to digress.
00:03:38.698 --> 00:03:39.666
that's not a time to digress.That's not a time
00:03:39.666 --> 00:03:40.900
That's not a timeto be depressed,
00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:42.669
to be depressed,that's a time to get up
00:03:42.669 --> 00:03:45.138
that's a time to get upon your tip toes in expectation.
00:03:45.138 --> 00:03:46.572
on your tip toes in expectation.He said, "When you see people
00:03:46.572 --> 00:03:47.940
He said, "When you see peoplemaking the Word of God
00:03:47.940 --> 00:03:49.409
making the Word of Godvoid and mocking it
00:03:49.409 --> 00:03:51.511
void and mocking itand laughing it, that's time
00:03:51.511 --> 00:03:54.047
and laughing it, that's timefor God to work."
00:03:54.047 --> 00:03:55.214
for God to work."This is the time.
00:03:55.214 --> 00:03:56.749
This is the time.Many of you are facing giants
00:03:56.749 --> 00:03:58.851
Many of you are facing giantsin your life, and you've
00:03:58.851 --> 00:03:59.752
in your life, and you'vedefeated the lion
00:03:59.752 --> 00:04:01.187
defeated the lionand you've defeated the bear,
00:04:01.187 --> 00:04:02.155
and you've defeated the bear,and He's going to give you
00:04:02.155 --> 00:04:03.756
and He's going to give youthis giant, and you need
00:04:03.756 --> 00:04:05.758
this giant, and you needto get on your tip toes
00:04:05.758 --> 00:04:07.727
to get on your tip toeswith expectation.
00:04:07.727 --> 00:04:09.996
with expectation.Romans 8:17 said
00:04:09.996 --> 00:04:11.764
Romans 8:17 saidthat we are the children of God
00:04:11.764 --> 00:04:13.466
that we are the children of Godand heirs, and now,
00:04:13.466 --> 00:04:14.767
and heirs, and now,because of Christ,
00:04:14.767 --> 00:04:16.169
because of Christ,we're joint heirs,
00:04:16.169 --> 00:04:17.537
we're joint heirs,which means we are --
00:04:17.537 --> 00:04:19.105
which means we are --have a double claim.
00:04:19.105 --> 00:04:20.773
have a double claim.We have a double claim
00:04:20.773 --> 00:04:23.643
We have a double claimto everything in Heaven.
00:04:23.643 --> 00:04:24.844
to everything in Heaven.We have a double claim
00:04:24.844 --> 00:04:27.213
We have a double claimto every promise in this Book,
00:04:27.213 --> 00:04:28.247
to every promise in this Book,just not heirs,
00:04:28.247 --> 00:04:29.849
just not heirs,but joint heirs.
00:04:29.849 --> 00:04:31.117
but joint heirs.It's mine, because
00:04:31.117 --> 00:04:34.487
It's mine, becauseJesus says I can have it.
00:04:34.487 --> 00:04:36.889
Jesus says I can have it.The power of expectation
00:04:36.889 --> 00:04:39.058
The power of expectationis seen in Acts 3,
00:04:39.058 --> 00:04:40.727
is seen in Acts 3,when the Bible said
00:04:40.727 --> 00:04:41.794
when the Bible saidthat there was a lame man
00:04:41.794 --> 00:04:43.696
that there was a lame manwho was brought to the temple,
00:04:43.696 --> 00:04:45.631
who was brought to the temple,and he was laying there daily.
00:04:45.631 --> 00:04:46.499
and he was laying there daily.And there's this
00:04:46.499 --> 00:04:47.767
And there's thisremarkable scripture, because
00:04:47.767 --> 00:04:48.835
remarkable scripture, becauseI've heard a lot of people
00:04:48.835 --> 00:04:50.970
I've heard a lot of peoplepreach that the miracle
00:04:50.970 --> 00:04:52.839
preach that the miraclewas dependent upon Peter
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:54.273
was dependent upon Peterand James saying,
00:04:54.273 --> 00:04:56.976
and James saying,"Silver and gold have I none,
00:04:56.976 --> 00:04:57.877
"Silver and gold have I none,but such as I have,
00:04:57.877 --> 00:04:59.011
but such as I have,give I unto you:
00:04:59.011 --> 00:05:00.480
give I unto you:in the name of Jesus."
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:01.547
in the name of Jesus."And I know the power's
00:05:01.547 --> 00:05:02.548
And I know the power'sin the name of Jesus,
00:05:02.548 --> 00:05:03.449
in the name of Jesus,but notice that
00:05:03.449 --> 00:05:05.752
but notice thatdidn't activate itself.
00:05:05.752 --> 00:05:07.587
didn't activate itself.Notice that the miracle
00:05:07.587 --> 00:05:08.621
Notice that the miracleof the lame man
00:05:08.621 --> 00:05:13.126
of the lame manwas dependent upon Acts 3:5,
00:05:13.126 --> 00:05:15.161
was dependent upon Acts 3:5,when the man looked on them,
00:05:15.161 --> 00:05:16.162
when the man looked on them,the Bible said:
00:05:16.162 --> 00:05:19.565
the Bible said:"Expecting to receive
00:05:19.565 --> 00:05:22.135
"Expecting to receivesomething from them."
00:05:22.135 --> 00:05:23.436
something from them."You're looking on me,
00:05:23.436 --> 00:05:24.103
You're looking on me,but I wonder
00:05:24.103 --> 00:05:25.671
but I wonderif you're really expecting
00:05:25.671 --> 00:05:26.506
if you're really expectingthis morning
00:05:26.506 --> 00:05:28.775
this morningto receive anything.
00:05:28.775 --> 00:05:32.111
to receive anything.This man said, "I don't hope,
00:05:32.111 --> 00:05:34.847
This man said, "I don't hope,I don't think, I don't believe,
00:05:34.847 --> 00:05:39.519
I don't think, I don't believe,I expect to receive something
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.722
I expect to receive somethingfrom that man of God."
00:05:42.722 --> 00:05:43.689
from that man of God."You see?
00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:44.524
You see?There's something that
00:05:44.524 --> 00:05:46.759
There's something thatthe enemy is tormented by.
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.362
the enemy is tormented by.You make Satan take Rolaids.
00:05:49.362 --> 00:05:51.230
You make Satan take Rolaids.There's one thing that will
00:05:51.230 --> 00:05:52.532
There's one thing that willupset him more
00:05:52.532 --> 00:05:53.900
upset him morethan anything else.
00:05:53.900 --> 00:05:55.635
than anything else.1 John 3:2 said:
00:05:55.635 --> 00:05:59.372
1 John 3:2 said:"It doth not yet appear."
00:05:59.372 --> 00:06:00.840
"It doth not yet appear."The Devil is not concerned
00:06:00.840 --> 00:06:02.742
The Devil is not concernedwith what used to be,
00:06:02.742 --> 00:06:04.043
with what used to be,the Devil is not concerned
00:06:04.043 --> 00:06:06.412
the Devil is not concernedwith what you are.
00:06:06.412 --> 00:06:08.347
with what you are.He is terrorized by
00:06:08.347 --> 00:06:10.249
He is terrorized bywhat you can be.
00:06:10.249 --> 00:06:12.452
what you can be.It does not yet appear
00:06:12.452 --> 00:06:14.220
It does not yet appearwhat you can be.
00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:15.188
what you can be.I mean, this thought
00:06:15.188 --> 00:06:16.689
I mean, this thoughtreally hit me this week,
00:06:16.689 --> 00:06:17.557
really hit me this week,that the Devil isn't
00:06:17.557 --> 00:06:18.724
that the Devil isn'tafraid of my past,
00:06:18.724 --> 00:06:19.959
afraid of my past,and he's really not afraid
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:21.961
and he's really not afraidof my present, but apparently,
00:06:21.961 --> 00:06:23.863
of my present, but apparently,by the way he's attacked me
00:06:23.863 --> 00:06:25.698
by the way he's attacked mehere lately, I just think
00:06:25.698 --> 00:06:26.999
here lately, I just thinkthere must be something
00:06:26.999 --> 00:06:28.801
there must be somethingthat hasn't appeared yet,
00:06:28.801 --> 00:06:30.470
that hasn't appeared yet,that He's going to use you
00:06:30.470 --> 00:06:31.370
that He's going to use youand me to do,
00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:33.005
and me to do,that's going to shake the Earth.

your labor of love."For God to forget you,
00:08:19.579 --> 00:08:21.447
For God to forget you,He would have to be unrighteous,

He would have to be unrighteous,and that is impossible.
00:08:23.316 --> 00:08:24.584
and that is impossible.It is impossible

When they set that lame man downoutside that gate,

expecting to receivesomething from them.
00:09:53.506 --> 00:09:56.809
something from them.But God saw that he came,
00:09:56.809 --> 00:09:58.944
But God saw that he came,expecting to receive,
00:09:58.944 --> 00:10:00.413

00:10:49.228 --> 00:10:51.731
a blind man named Bartimaeus,who had a beggar's garment.
00:10:51.731 --> 00:10:52.765
who had a beggar's garment.And we read over that,
00:10:52.765 --> 00:10:53.466
And we read over that,and we don't think
00:10:53.466 --> 00:10:54.467
and we don't thinkanything about it,
00:10:54.467 --> 00:10:56.635
anything about it,but the government issued them
00:10:56.635 --> 00:10:59.238
but the government issued theman official beggar's garment.
00:10:59.238 --> 00:11:00.740
an official beggar's garment.It was a certain color,

on the way side,on the side of the road,
00:11:06.846 --> 00:11:08.547
on the side of the road,begging, if they had

or covering over them,it said this is
00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:17.456
it said this isa legitimate beggar,
00:11:17.456 --> 00:11:18.357
a legitimate beggar,and you can give to him,

00:11:29.702 --> 00:11:32.371

00:11:37.543 --> 00:11:39.445
and cast it away,the scripture said.
00:11:39.445 --> 00:11:41.147
the scripture said.What he was saying was,
00:11:41.147 --> 00:11:43.883
What he was saying was,"I know I can't see yet,
00:11:43.883 --> 00:11:46.018
"I know I can't see yet,I know I'm not healed yet,
00:11:46.018 --> 00:11:49.655
I know I'm not healed yet,but if Jesus is anywhere
00:11:49.655 --> 00:11:51.624
but if Jesus is anywherein my vicinity,
00:11:51.624 --> 00:11:53.459
in my vicinity,I'm casting away,
00:11:53.459 --> 00:11:56.061
I'm casting away,expecting fully that I will
00:11:56.061 --> 00:11:59.698
expecting fully that I willnever go back to that life,
00:11:59.698 --> 00:12:01.867
never go back to that life,of begging, again.
00:12:01.867 --> 00:12:04.937
of begging, again.Jesus is going to give me
00:12:04.937 --> 00:12:12.044

00:12:12.044 --> 00:12:14.180
a miracle today."And immediately,
00:12:14.180 --> 00:12:17.983
And immediately,he received his healing.
00:12:17.983 --> 00:12:19.018
he received his healing."The people were
00:12:19.018 --> 00:12:20.386
"The people werein expectation."
00:12:20.386 --> 00:12:21.754
in expectation."The next verse:

The next verse:"I indeed baptize you in water."
00:12:26.425 --> 00:12:27.560
"I indeed baptize you in water."But the one that's coming
00:12:27.560 --> 00:12:28.694
But the one that's comingafter me -- see,

John the Baptist said,"In the Holy Ghost and fire."
00:13:06.599 --> 00:13:09.235
"In the Holy Ghost and fire."What does that mean?
00:13:09.235 --> 00:13:12.605
What does that mean?The Holy Spirit desires you.
00:13:12.605 --> 00:13:14.273
The Holy Spirit desires you.He wants to do five things.
00:13:14.273 --> 00:13:14.874

Number one,He wants to invade you.
00:13:17.977 --> 00:13:20.312
He wants to invade you.An invasion is a military term

An invasion is a military termof warfare.
00:13:22.214 --> 00:13:23.816
of warfare.When one army invades

When one army invadesthe territory of another army,
00:13:26.118 --> 00:13:27.119
the territory of another army,they conquer it.
00:13:27.119 --> 00:13:28.320
they conquer it.It's an invasion.
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.289
It's an invasion.They're all over the place.
00:13:30.289 --> 00:13:30.890
They're all over the place.They're coming in
00:13:30.890 --> 00:13:32.791
They're coming infrom the land, the sea, the air.
00:13:32.791 --> 00:13:34.193
from the land, the sea, the air.When the Holy Spirit comes
00:13:34.193 --> 00:13:35.127
When the Holy Spirit comesinto you,
00:13:35.127 --> 00:13:37.196
into you,it's an invasion internally.
00:13:37.196 --> 00:13:38.631
it's an invasion internally.He comes in
00:13:38.631 --> 00:13:41.834
He comes into fill every inch of you.
00:13:41.834 --> 00:13:44.236
to fill every inch of you.He wants to invade your life
00:13:44.236 --> 00:13:45.471
He wants to invade your lifewith His presence.
00:13:45.471 --> 00:13:47.706
with His presence.Secondly, not only will
00:13:47.706 --> 00:13:49.275
Secondly, not only willHe invade you,
00:13:49.275 --> 00:13:51.911
He invade you,but He wants to envelop you.
00:13:51.911 --> 00:13:53.712
but He wants to envelop you.The word envelope is found
00:13:53.712 --> 00:13:55.648
The word envelope is foundin Ephesians 1:13,
00:13:55.648 --> 00:13:56.348
in Ephesians 1:13,when it says --
00:13:56.348 --> 00:13:57.716
when it says --the Bible states:
00:13:57.716 --> 00:13:59.184
the Bible states:"We're sealed with
00:13:59.184 --> 00:14:01.487
"We're sealed withthe Holy Spirit of promise."
00:14:01.487 --> 00:14:04.089
the Holy Spirit of promise."I have here a letter,
00:14:04.089 --> 00:14:05.391
I have here a letter,and this letter
00:14:05.391 --> 00:14:08.227
and this letterI'm putting in an envelope,
00:14:08.227 --> 00:14:10.129
I'm putting in an envelope,and that's what it means
00:14:10.129 --> 00:14:10.996
and that's what it meansto be enveloped
00:14:10.996 --> 00:14:12.464
to be envelopedby the Holy Spirit.
00:14:12.464 --> 00:14:14.099
by the Holy Spirit.This is you,
00:14:14.099 --> 00:14:15.034
This is you,this letter is you,
00:14:15.034 --> 00:14:16.802
this letter is you,and I'm putting it
00:14:16.802 --> 00:14:19.471
and I'm putting itin the envelope.
00:14:19.471 --> 00:14:21.373
in the envelope.I'm sealing the envelope,
00:14:21.373 --> 00:14:23.142
I'm sealing the envelope,because Ephesians 1 said:
00:14:23.142 --> 00:14:24.276
because Ephesians 1 said:"You're sealed by
00:14:24.276 --> 00:14:26.345
"You're sealed bythe Holy Spirit of promise."
00:14:26.345 --> 00:14:29.181
the Holy Spirit of promise."That means dirt can't get to it.
00:14:29.181 --> 00:14:30.649
That means dirt can't get to it.That means uncleanness
00:14:30.649 --> 00:14:31.850
That means uncleannesscan't touch it,
00:14:31.850 --> 00:14:33.419
can't touch it,because it's been sealed
00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:35.921
because it's been sealedby the power of the Holy Spirit.
00:14:35.921 --> 00:14:37.690
by the power of the Holy Spirit.Not only does the Holy Spirit,
00:14:37.690 --> 00:14:39.358
Not only does the Holy Spirit,when He envelops you --
00:14:39.358 --> 00:14:40.526
when He envelops you --see, He comes
00:14:40.526 --> 00:14:42.494
see, He comesand He invades you internally,
00:14:42.494 --> 00:14:45.164
and He invades you internally,but He envelops you externally,
00:14:45.164 --> 00:14:46.699
but He envelops you externally,and He seals you with
00:14:46.699 --> 00:14:48.400
and He seals you withthe Holy Spirit of promise.
00:14:48.400 --> 00:14:50.536
the Holy Spirit of promise.Then, He delivers you,
00:14:50.536 --> 00:14:52.137
Then, He delivers you,because an envelope delivers
00:14:52.137 --> 00:14:53.973
because an envelope deliversthe contents wherever
00:14:53.973 --> 00:14:55.741
the contents whereverit's supposed to go,
00:14:55.741 --> 00:14:57.176
it's supposed to go,so He wants to deliver you
00:14:57.176 --> 00:14:58.444
so He wants to deliver youout of one place,
00:14:58.444 --> 00:15:00.746
out of one place,and take you to another place,
00:15:00.746 --> 00:15:02.381
and take you to another place,out of defeat
00:15:02.381 --> 00:15:04.917
out of defeatand out of addiction
00:15:04.917 --> 00:15:05.684
and out of addictionand bondage,
00:15:05.684 --> 00:15:08.420
and bondage,and into victory and joy.
00:15:08.420 --> 00:15:11.023
and into victory and joy.So He not only seals you
00:15:11.023 --> 00:15:12.891
So He not only seals youand not only delivers you,
00:15:12.891 --> 00:15:15.661
and not only delivers you,but notice that He protects you
00:15:15.661 --> 00:15:17.329
but notice that He protects youall along the journey
00:15:17.329 --> 00:15:18.330
all along the journey'til you get to
00:15:18.330 --> 00:15:20.532
'til you get tothe final destination.
00:15:20.532 --> 00:15:22.901
the final destination.That is what the Holy Spirit
00:15:22.901 --> 00:15:24.770
That is what the Holy Spiritwants to do to you.
00:15:24.770 --> 00:15:26.739
wants to do to you.The Holy Spirit says,
00:15:26.739 --> 00:15:28.574
The Holy Spirit says,"I will invade you,
00:15:28.574 --> 00:15:30.509
"I will invade you,I will envelop you.
00:15:30.509 --> 00:15:32.011
I will envelop you.I want, thirdly,
00:15:32.011 --> 00:15:34.446
I want, thirdly,to instruct you."
00:15:34.446 --> 00:15:36.982
to instruct you."Jesus said: "The Holy Spirit,"
00:15:36.982 --> 00:15:40.252
Jesus said: "The Holy Spirit,"John 14:26: "But the Helper,
00:15:40.252 --> 00:15:43.722
John 14:26: "But the Helper,which is the Holy Spirit,
00:15:43.722 --> 00:15:45.190
which is the Holy Spirit,whom the Father
00:15:45.190 --> 00:15:46.625
whom the Fatherwill send in My name,
00:15:46.625 --> 00:15:48.894
will send in My name,He will teach you all things,"
00:15:48.894 --> 00:15:50.863
He will teach you all things,"listen to that.
00:15:50.863 --> 00:15:52.931
listen to that.The Holy Spirit will teach you
00:15:52.931 --> 00:15:54.433
The Holy Spirit will teach youall things:
00:15:54.433 --> 00:15:56.468
all things:"And bring all things
00:15:56.468 --> 00:15:58.537
"And bring all thingsto your remembrance
00:15:58.537 --> 00:16:00.739
to your remembrancethat I have said to you."
00:16:00.739 --> 00:16:02.141
that I have said to you."That scripture moves me,
00:16:02.141 --> 00:16:02.941
That scripture moves me,because when I first
00:16:02.941 --> 00:16:04.643
because when I firststarted preaching, I said,
00:16:04.643 --> 00:16:06.011
started preaching, I said,"Lord, I don't know
00:16:06.011 --> 00:16:06.979
"Lord, I don't knowhow to preach.
00:16:06.979 --> 00:16:08.313
how to preach.I can't do that."
00:16:08.313 --> 00:16:10.149
I can't do that."I preached my first sermon
00:16:10.149 --> 00:16:10.749
I preached my first sermonand I preached
00:16:10.749 --> 00:16:12.418
and I preachedfrom Philippians 3:
00:16:12.418 --> 00:16:13.786
from Philippians 3:"This one thing I do,
00:16:13.786 --> 00:16:14.353
"This one thing I do,forgetting things
00:16:14.353 --> 00:16:15.454
forgetting thingsthat are behind, reaching for,"
00:16:15.454 --> 00:16:16.622
that are behind, reaching for,"-- and it was pitiful.
00:16:16.622 --> 00:16:18.690
-- and it was pitiful.I got up and I had all kinds
00:16:18.690 --> 00:16:20.359
I got up and I had all kindsof notes and it lasted
00:16:20.359 --> 00:16:22.227
of notes and it lastedmaybe seven or eight minutes.
00:16:22.227 --> 00:16:23.629
maybe seven or eight minutes.Everything that I knew,
00:16:23.629 --> 00:16:25.431
Everything that I knew,it was the most awkward,
00:16:25.431 --> 00:16:27.566
it was the most awkward,fearful, terrifying moments
00:16:27.566 --> 00:16:29.668
fearful, terrifying momentsof my life up to that point.
00:16:29.668 --> 00:16:31.170
of my life up to that point.It was unbelievable.
00:16:31.170 --> 00:16:33.205
It was unbelievable.Somehow, God got in it
00:16:33.205 --> 00:16:34.740
Somehow, God got in itand people were saved,
00:16:34.740 --> 00:16:36.475
and people were saved,and the Spirit of God moved,
00:16:36.475 --> 00:16:37.476
and the Spirit of God moved,but it couldn't have been
00:16:37.476 --> 00:16:39.044
but it couldn't have beenmy preaching.
00:16:39.044 --> 00:16:40.679
my preaching.And I remember thinking,
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:42.081
And I remember thinking,I can't do this,
00:16:42.081 --> 00:16:43.315
I can't do this,but the Holy Spirit
00:16:43.315 --> 00:16:45.751
but the Holy Spiritbegan to instruct me.
00:16:45.751 --> 00:16:48.654
began to instruct me.He began to teach me all things.
00:16:48.654 --> 00:16:49.822
He began to teach me all things.He began to say,
00:16:49.822 --> 00:16:50.789
He began to say,"Say it like this,
00:16:50.789 --> 00:16:52.391
"Say it like this,and do it like this,
00:16:52.391 --> 00:16:54.259
and do it like this,and lift your voice like this,
00:16:54.259 --> 00:16:56.361
and lift your voice like this,and get out there and obey Me."
00:16:56.361 --> 00:16:56.995
and get out there and obey Me."I'm feeling,
00:16:56.995 --> 00:16:57.930
I'm feeling,when I was preaching,
00:16:57.930 --> 00:16:58.997
when I was preaching,saying now, "Say this,
00:16:58.997 --> 00:16:59.865
saying now, "Say this,get off the notes
00:16:59.865 --> 00:17:01.300
get off the notesand say this,"
00:17:01.300 --> 00:17:02.334
and say this,"and you don't understand
00:17:02.334 --> 00:17:03.135
and you don't understandwhen a preacher's up here,
00:17:03.135 --> 00:17:03.669
when a preacher's up here,preaching.
00:17:03.669 --> 00:17:04.670
preaching.If he's a Holy Ghost preacher,
00:17:04.670 --> 00:17:05.504
If he's a Holy Ghost preacher,you don't understand
00:17:05.504 --> 00:17:06.305
you don't understandthe stuff going
00:17:06.305 --> 00:17:06.905
the stuff goingthrough his mind.
00:17:06.905 --> 00:17:08.107
through his mind.And sometimes, I see some
00:17:08.107 --> 00:17:09.108
And sometimes, I see someof you, and I could tell you
00:17:09.108 --> 00:17:10.309
of you, and I could tell youthings that you don't want me
00:17:10.309 --> 00:17:11.777
things that you don't want meto tell you.
00:17:11.777 --> 00:17:13.278
to tell you.I'm just telling you.
00:17:13.278 --> 00:17:17.182
I'm just telling you.He will instruct you.
00:17:17.182 --> 00:17:19.818
He will instruct you.He will -- he's my schoolmaster.
00:17:19.818 --> 00:17:20.886
He will -- he's my schoolmaster.When I went to school,
00:17:20.886 --> 00:17:21.987
When I went to school,I didn't know anything
00:17:21.987 --> 00:17:22.921
I didn't know anythingabout algebra,
00:17:22.921 --> 00:17:24.456
about algebra,but I got a teacher,
00:17:24.456 --> 00:17:25.924
but I got a teacher,and suddenly, they opened up
00:17:25.924 --> 00:17:27.192
and suddenly, they opened upa whole new aspect
00:17:27.192 --> 00:17:28.827
a whole new aspectthat I didn't even know existed.
00:17:28.827 --> 00:17:30.262
that I didn't even know existed.That's how the Holy Spirit
00:17:30.262 --> 00:17:31.530
That's how the Holy Spiritwill do with the Bible.
00:17:31.530 --> 00:17:32.798
will do with the Bible.He'll begin -- if you'll
00:17:32.798 --> 00:17:34.466
He'll begin -- if you'lllet Him invade you
00:17:34.466 --> 00:17:35.834
let Him invade youand let Him envelop you,
00:17:35.834 --> 00:17:37.436
and let Him envelop you,He'll begin to instruct you,
00:17:37.436 --> 00:17:39.271
He'll begin to instruct you,and He'll begin to talk to you,
00:17:39.271 --> 00:17:41.340
and He'll begin to talk to you,and He'll bring all things
00:17:41.340 --> 00:17:42.875
and He'll bring all thingsto your remembrance.
00:17:42.875 --> 00:17:44.276
to your remembrance.You get up and I get
00:17:44.276 --> 00:17:45.577
You get up and I getto preaching sometimes,
00:17:45.577 --> 00:17:46.478
to preaching sometimes,and I don't know
00:17:46.478 --> 00:17:47.846
and I don't knowwhere it's coming from.
00:17:47.846 --> 00:17:49.414
where it's coming from.I just put it in maybe
00:17:49.414 --> 00:17:51.150
I just put it in maybeten years ago,
00:17:51.150 --> 00:17:52.151
ten years ago,and the Holy Spirit is saying,
00:17:52.151 --> 00:17:55.821
and the Holy Spirit is saying,"You need this right now."
00:17:55.821 --> 00:17:59.725
"You need this right now."Number four, the Holy Spirit
00:17:59.725 --> 00:18:03.228
Number four, the Holy Spiritwill impress you.
00:18:03.228 --> 00:18:04.596
will impress you."What do you mean by that?"
00:18:04.596 --> 00:18:06.431
"What do you mean by that?"One of the frequent operations
00:18:06.431 --> 00:18:07.833
One of the frequent operationsof the Holy Spirit
00:18:07.833 --> 00:18:12.437
of the Holy Spiritis to bring impressions upon us,
00:18:12.437 --> 00:18:14.373
is to bring impressions upon us,of what we are to do.
00:18:14.373 --> 00:18:16.708
of what we are to do.He'll impress you.
00:18:16.708 --> 00:18:18.010

He'll impress you.They'll stand out to you.
00:18:24.516 --> 00:18:25.083
They'll stand out to you.I've had it --
00:18:25.083 --> 00:18:26.585
I've had it --"Give to that person.
00:18:26.585 --> 00:18:27.619
"Give to that person.Reach in your pocket
00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:28.720
Reach in your pocketand give some money
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.222
and give some moneyto that person."
00:18:30.222 --> 00:18:32.024
to that person."The Holy Spirit knows how.
00:18:32.024 --> 00:18:34.193
The Holy Spirit knows how.One of his chief functions
00:18:34.193 --> 00:18:35.961
One of his chief functionsis to bring impressions.
00:18:35.961 --> 00:18:37.362
is to bring impressions."You don't need to be there,
00:18:37.362 --> 00:18:38.130
"You don't need to be there,get out of here.
00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:39.198
get out of here.You don't belong here."
00:18:39.198 --> 00:18:40.766
You don't belong here."And he's impressing you,
00:18:40.766 --> 00:18:42.768
And he's impressing you,"Or join yourself to that.
00:18:42.768 --> 00:18:44.102
"Or join yourself to that.That's where you belong.
00:18:44.102 --> 00:18:44.903
That's where you belong.Listen to this,
00:18:44.903 --> 00:18:45.871
Listen to this,this is a God moment."
00:18:45.871 --> 00:18:50.008
this is a God moment."He's giving you impressions.
00:18:50.008 --> 00:18:51.944
He's giving you impressions.And lastly, the Holy Spirit
00:18:51.944 --> 00:18:55.614
And lastly, the Holy Spiritwill indwell you.

with expectation."That today,

to receive from Him.Do you believe that?
00:20:14.059 --> 00:20:17.095
Do you believe that?So I close with this.
00:20:17.095 --> 00:20:18.297
So I close with this.I said, "Now, Lord, how are

And what do You want me to dotoday for the people?"
00:20:25.037 --> 00:20:26.471
today for the people?"And the Lord said, "I'm going

And the Lord said, "I'm goingto use laying on of hands."
00:20:29.975 --> 00:20:31.443
to use laying on of hands."And He took me
00:20:31.443 --> 00:20:33.645
And He took meto the story of Ananias
00:20:33.645 --> 00:20:36.114
to the story of Ananiasand Paul, and how that Paul
00:20:36.114 --> 00:20:37.549
and Paul, and how that Paulhad an encounter on the road
00:20:37.549 --> 00:20:40.719
had an encounter on the roadto Damascus with Jesus.
00:20:40.719 --> 00:20:41.920
to Damascus with Jesus.He became blind
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:42.754
He became blindfor three days,
00:20:42.754 --> 00:20:44.356
for three days,because Jesus was shining
00:20:44.356 --> 00:20:46.391
because Jesus was shiningsuch a bright light.
00:20:46.391 --> 00:20:47.659
such a bright light.And after he encountered
00:20:47.659 --> 00:20:49.094
And after he encounteredJesus and said, "Lord,
00:20:49.094 --> 00:20:50.929
Jesus and said, "Lord,what would You have me to do?"
00:20:50.929 --> 00:20:51.730
what would You have me to do?"He's been saved,
00:20:51.730 --> 00:20:52.698
He's been saved,he's been washed.
00:20:52.698 --> 00:20:54.066
he's been washed.Jesus was resurrected
00:20:54.066 --> 00:20:55.200
Jesus was resurrectedfrom the dead,
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:56.968
from the dead,so the blood covered --
00:20:56.968 --> 00:20:58.136
so the blood covered --he changed his name
00:20:58.136 --> 00:21:00.005
he changed his namefrom Saul the Tormentor
00:21:00.005 --> 00:21:02.674
from Saul the Tormentorto Paul the Apostle.
00:21:02.674 --> 00:21:03.975
to Paul the Apostle.And he's blind,
00:21:03.975 --> 00:21:04.943
And he's blind,he has been blind
00:21:04.943 --> 00:21:06.545
he has been blindfor three days.
00:21:06.545 --> 00:21:08.613
for three days.He's saved, but he has not been
00:21:08.613 --> 00:21:11.717
He's saved, but he has not beenfilled with the Holy Spirit.
00:21:11.717 --> 00:21:13.852
filled with the Holy Spirit.And God spoke to Ananias
00:21:13.852 --> 00:21:15.487
And God spoke to Ananiasand said, "I have
00:21:15.487 --> 00:21:18.323
and said, "I havea chosen vessel called Paul,
00:21:18.323 --> 00:21:19.691
a chosen vessel called Paul,and I want you to go
00:21:19.691 --> 00:21:21.560
and I want you to golay your hands on him,
00:21:21.560 --> 00:21:24.062
lay your hands on him,that he might receive his sight,
00:21:24.062 --> 00:21:25.263
that he might receive his sight,and be filled
00:21:25.263 --> 00:21:28.467
and be filledwith the Holy Spirit."
00:21:28.467 --> 00:21:30.402
with the Holy Spirit."And Ananias went and said,
00:21:30.402 --> 00:21:34.106
And Ananias went and said,"Brother Paul."
00:21:34.106 --> 00:21:35.374
"Brother Paul."The reason he called him brother
00:21:35.374 --> 00:21:37.109
The reason he called him brotheris he was saying, "I know
00:21:37.109 --> 00:21:38.243
is he was saying, "I knowyou're part of
00:21:38.243 --> 00:21:39.177
you're part ofthe Family of God.
00:21:39.177 --> 00:21:40.278
the Family of God.You're saved,
00:21:40.278 --> 00:21:42.781
You're saved,but something is missing.
00:21:42.781 --> 00:21:45.550
but something is missing.You need to be healed and filled
00:21:45.550 --> 00:21:48.553
You need to be healed and filledwith the Holy Spirit."
00:21:48.553 --> 00:21:49.921
with the Holy Spirit."And the Apostle Paul,
00:21:49.921 --> 00:21:51.123
And the Apostle Paul,the Bible said,
00:21:51.123 --> 00:21:52.090
the Bible said,received Ananias,
00:21:52.090 --> 00:21:53.658
received Ananias,and I love this,
00:21:53.658 --> 00:21:56.027
and I love this,and when Ananias laid his hands
00:21:56.027 --> 00:21:59.431
and when Ananias laid his handson Paul -- listen carefully.
00:21:59.431 --> 00:22:01.733
on Paul -- listen carefully.The scales,
00:22:01.733 --> 00:22:05.470
The scales,the religious scales,
00:22:05.470 --> 00:22:07.806
the religious scales,fell off of his eyes,
00:22:07.806 --> 00:22:09.040
fell off of his eyes,because Paul had been
00:22:09.040 --> 00:22:10.942
because Paul had beencontrolled by religion.
00:22:10.942 --> 00:22:12.277
controlled by religion.He was killing people
00:22:12.277 --> 00:22:13.445
He was killing peoplein the name of religion.
00:22:13.445 --> 00:22:14.813
in the name of religion.He was tormenting
00:22:14.813 --> 00:22:15.881
He was tormentingand torturing people,
00:22:15.881 --> 00:22:17.382
and torturing people,but when Paul --
00:22:17.382 --> 00:22:19.050
but when Paul --when Ananias laid hands on him,
00:22:19.050 --> 00:22:20.485
when Ananias laid hands on him,the Bible said the scales
00:22:20.485 --> 00:22:23.655
the Bible said the scalesfell off of his eyes,
00:22:23.655 --> 00:22:25.123
fell off of his eyes,and he was healed,
00:22:25.123 --> 00:22:26.825
and he was healed,and he was filled
00:22:26.825 --> 00:22:29.895
and he was filledwith the Holy Spirit.
00:22:29.895 --> 00:22:31.463
