options. Anybody know who Jesus is? Come on. When you've ran out of answers, I I know I know the God that has an answer for every question. He is the answer for every question. Come on. He is the answer for every question. You can look to the right, to the left, mountains high, and valley low, and you still won't find an answer better than Jesus. Oh, I think we ought to take some time and clap our hands and and thank him that he's our very present help in the time of trouble. He is our deliverer. Come on. He is our redeemer. Amen. Somebody clap your hands one more time if you're thankful for the presence of the Lord in the house. Amen. Amen. Judges chapter 3 and verse number 15. As we remain standing tonight for the honoring the reading of God's word. Judges 3:es 15-1 17. And also be bringing you to Judges 3 and 21. Judges 20 and 16. We're going to get through these as quickly as we can tonight. Amen. And while you're turning there, thank God that we made it through another day. Somebody say, "Amen." Amen. We can take for granted going through daytoday life, a day of work, and a day of school. And we can haphazardly forget that it is by the grace of God that we make it out of our driveway. Somebody say, "Amen. is by the grace of God you can make it through a whole day of school, a whole day of work just to get to the presence of God tonight. I'm grateful to be in God's house. Come on. Anybody feel like I feel tonight, I was glad when they said unto me. Come on. We made it through a long day. Amen. And we in the presence of God. Amen. I feel a word for God's people tonight. It's been 10 days of revival. The This is the second midweek. And I'm thankful that God's been saving souls. Anybody thankful? Come on, Porter. Anybody thankful? We This is what we want. Come on. This is what God wants. And I I could have my numbers off. I believe nine people have been baptized in Jesus name already. And God's not done yet. Come on. Anybody excited about what God's doing? And you would think that it's a little early to feel what I feel tonight, but I feel a dynamic shifting in the spirit. I feel like God is going to do something great tonight. The Bible declares and begins to uncover the story of a peculiar man, a judge, the second judge over the land of Israel. Man, a man that I want to talk about tonight. The Bible says, "But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer." Somebody shout deliverance. Come on, shout it again. Shout deliverance. The Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehad, the son of Gerah, a Benjamite, a man leftanded. Somebody shout left-handed. A man left-handed, and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon, the king of of Moab. But Ehod made him a dagger. Ehud made him a dagger with two edges of a cubit length. And he did gird it under his ramnet upon his right thigh. And the Bible says in verse 21, verse 21 tells us, "And Ehud put forth his left hand." Somebody shout left hand. Eihad had made it beyond the courts of the security. He made it into the summer parlor, the the summer tanning room, the sauna if you will, of Eglon the king undetected. And he put forth his left hand. Somebody shout left hand. And he took the dagger that was upon his right thigh and he thrust it through the belly of Eglon, the king of Moab. Judges 20 and 16 tells us among among all this people there were 700 chosen men left-handed. Somebody shout

left-handed. Left-handed. Every one of them could sling stones at a hair breath and not miss. I feel tonight could be a night of victory for somebody. You say, "Well, preacher, we've I thought we've already got the victory." You can never have enough victory. Come on. Anybody? Anybody believe what I Come on. You can never have enough victory cuz there's always another battle. Come on. There's always another mountain. There's always another day. Come on. We go from day to day. Glory to glory. Victory to victory. I wish somebody would clap your hands like you feel victory in the room. Come on. There's a God that can deliver us from the struggle. Come on. He can deliver us from fear. Come on. He can deliver us from heartache. Come on. Anybody need deliverance in the room. I want you to bear with me tonight. I won't take much time preaching, but I want you to hear what heaven has to say to us. If there's anybody in the room that you have you have been you have been in an entanglement, a war with some stuff. stuff in your family, stuff in your life, stuff in your finances. There comes there comes a point where your cry until God is heard. Anybody hear me in the house? And I feel deliverance in this room right now. I feel the I feel the delivering power of God. There's an intervention. Come on. There's an intervention about to happen for somebody. Come on. We've already seen people healed. We've seen people delivered. Come on. We've seen We've seen people set free. Backsliders are praying through. Come on. God's just getting started. Come on. Somebody ought to give God praise like you believe he's a deliverer. Come on. A midweek service, you ought to give God praise like he's a deliverer. Come on. Hallelujah. Jesus. Come on. Somebody ought to push past Wednesday work day and said, "I I've made it in the presence of God." Deliverance., I'm claiming deliverance from my house. Come on. I'm claiming deliverance for my husband. Come on. I'm claiming deliverance for my children. Oh, I feel something moving in the sanctuary. Come on. I'm claiming deliverance in my finances. Come on. This week, I'm claiming financial breakthrough in the name of Jesus. Amen. Tonight, I want to preach from this thought. Left-handed. Somebody shout left-handed. Left-handed leverage. Somebody clap your hands one more time as you're being seated. Left-handed. Left-handed leverage. The thought that I want to provoke in your mind tonight, thank you. Be careful. The thought I want to provoke in your mind tonight is one of a challenge to our spirit. Anybody up for a challenge tonight? I don't know why God's been challenges on midweeks, but maybe we just got to be challenged on midweeks. Praise God. I want to challenge your thoughts and provoke us to a point of deliverance because if there's anything I know about God, he doesn't want his people to be in bondage. He doesn't He doesn't want us just barely hanging on in there. I wish I had some church folk preaching preaching with me right now. He doesn't want you hanging on by the skin of your teeth, barely making it. Wo, it's me. Nobody knows the trouble I see. But God wants us to walk in power. He wants us to walk in dominion and victory. And we we have to find deliverance from some stuff if we're going to walk where God wants us to walk. And tonight, I want to talk about a topic. I want to talk about something that's rather controversial. And there's going to be a group of people here that might be slightly offended by my preaching in a moment, but bear with me. I promise you, I'm going somewhere. For many, for many eons in human history, there's been a major controversial conversation. It's been the topic of debate concerning people and their hand of dominance in which they utilize on a day-to-day basis. It is a conversation of whether it's

better to be right-handed or whether it's better to be left-handed. Some people's nervous already. For many for many for many years and decades, centuries within human history, this conversation has been back and forth across the pingpong table of debate, back and forth whether right hand is better, whether left hand is better. And the right-handed folks have taken a very strong approach. Raise your hand in this room if you are right-handed. And the left-handed folks on the other side of this strong approach of conversation, they have taken strong offense. Raise your hand in the room if you are left-handed. Reason being is because throughout human history, even until this point now, the percentage of people that are right-handed. Somebody shout right-handed. Percentage of people that are right-handed far outweighs the percentage of people that are left-handed. Somebody shout left-handed. by statistics. Statistics tells us that 7 to 10% of people on earth at any given moment are left-handed. Which means, as you can see in this room, that 10% of the people in this room right now are left-handed. The other 90% are right-handed. The right-handed people for some time have really attacked the left-handed folks. They've made fun of them for many for many decades, centuries of time. It was debated whether or not left-handed people were cursed. The left-handed people are not going to like me the next three minutes. Just bear with me. They debated whether or not something was mentally wrong with them. I'm not making friends with the left-handed folks right now. They debated whether or not being left-handed was some form of a disease. They they had conversations and so much that it became it became religiously thought that people that were left-handed were born were born sinners and were unable to be alleviated of this left-handed curse. Sounds pretty deep. Sounds pretty disparaging. Thank God I'm not left here. But the reality is out of all of the conversations, the debates that we can say, the tides have recently began to turn in favor of the left-handed people. Because scientists begin to realize that left-handed people and an author unorthodox way. They use a different side of their brain and functionality. And some even would claim that left-handed folk are more intelligent. A lot of right-handed people are mad at me. More intelligent than the right-handed people. Good thing for us tonight, these debates have not yet been settled. So don't don't go slap your husband with that left hand tonight. Praise God. But I I I come to preach tonight because I I read something of the word of God in these texts specific specifically that grabs my attention because the Bible gives us metaphors on on many occasions using the members of our body. The Bible talks about the eyes. It talks about the feet. it talks about the head. It talks about the hands and in using these metaphors of speech the hands, the feet, the eyes and the members of our body. There is biblical meaning precedents. there is a biblical reason on why these members are used. The Bible the Bible throughout scripture there there are 190 usages for the phrase right hand. Somebody shout right hand. There are 190 times the phrase right hand is used in scripture and a 100 times less the phrase left hand is used only 90 times in the Bible. But narrowing it down to tonight's sermon. There's only two times somebody shout twice. There's only two times in your

word, in the word of God, that the phrase left-handed to tell a definitive marking that someone was left-handed in their dominant usage of the hand only two times. And the word of God was the phrase left-handed used. And if I was to take a defense tonight, I think the left-handed people would be happy with the sermon because I believe that there is some biblical precedence, biblical principle that unfolds when we look at the men that were left-handed in the word of God. because contrary to the debates of the ages that said that being left-handed was a curse that says that being left-handed was a disease that says that being left-handed was a sin based on what I read in scripture. I come to a defense to tell you that what I read and what I find is on the contrary because on the two times that men fought with their left handed with with their left hand men used their left hand it was in a warfare a militant conversation AS THEY WERE FIGHTING AGAINST an adversary. I wish somebody would hear what I'm about to preach to you right now. It was the conversation of combat that when someone was left-handed, somebody shout left-handed. When someone was left-handed, they happened to be from the tribe of Benjamin. The Benjamites were known to be left-handed. the one tribe and the children of Israel, they were left-handed and so much that from the earliest ages of their children being raised they even if they used their right hand they would tie their right hand behind their back AND FORCE THEM TO USE THEIR LEFT hand so at minimum they would be amidextrious and at the most they would become a left-handed warrior. So this is why when the children of Israel begin to choose out chosen men, they found 700 chosen men left-handed. Somebody shout left-handed. 700 chosen men left-handed. And they were so sharp, they were so skilled that they can sling a stone at a hair breath and not miss. That's not all. Eh comes in conversation and E-hud's story is very peculiar and I want to tell you right now before I even get going sometimes you got to get to the point that you realize that you can't keep doing things the the same way you've always been doing them. Oh, I wish somebody would hear me right now. If you're going to win the war, sometimes you got to pick up another tactic. Sometimes you got to do something different. YOU CAN'T KEEP DOING THE SAME THING THE SAME WAY IT'S CALLED INSANITY. IF YOU KEEP DOING THE SAME THING AND EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT. OH, I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I can I just tell you the story and then I'm going to preach. Bible says that Ehad was a man that was left-handed, the son of Garah of Benjamite, and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto King Eglon of Moab. The Moabites were they were in they were over. They had suppressed the children of Israel and they were in bondage under subservience to them. And the children of Israel wanted to be free. I hope somebody's hear me right now. they wanted to break free from the stuff that had been binding them. They wanted to break free from the adversary that had been binding them. can I tell you that if you want deliverance the first thing you got to DO IS CRY OUT TO THE DELIVERER. HEY, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH SAYING, "GOD, I'VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT I'VE PRAYED EVERY PRAYER. I'VE FASTED EVERY FAST AND NOTHING'S HAPPENED YET. BUT I STILL BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE DELIVERED. YOU CAN BREAK THE CHAINS OFF MY MIND., YOU CAN BREAK THE FAMILY CURSE OVER MY FAMILY., YOU CAN BREAK. COME ON. GOD CAN BREAK IT ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT. For the children of Israel cried unto the Lord for a deliverer. God sent them one. And God sent them a man that was left-handed. Now, now, so far, you have no idea where I'm going in the sermon. left. But I I I have to paint a picture for you to know where we're going for deliverance to happen in the room because there's some details that begin to unfold as as Eh, the Bible says that Ehod

had a plan for the adversary. The Bible says that he made for himself a dagger that had two edges of a cubit length and this is a perfect length about 13 inches. be made a dagger. AND THE BIBLE SAYS SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING THAT WE can't look over. And you said, "Preacher, why why do we have to dig into the details because when you dig into the details, YOU START DIGGING INTO DELIVERANCE. WHEN YOU START DIGGING DEEP IN PRAYER, THAT'S WHEN YOU START DIGGING DEEP IN DELIVERANCE. WHEN YOU START DIGGING DEEP IN THE SPIRIT, OH, I WISH SOMEBODY HEY, WHEN YOU KEEP WHEN YOU KEEP DABBLING YOUR TOES IN THE SHALLOWS, YOU'RE GOING TO STAY IN THE SHALLOWS., BUT WHEN YOU PRAY AN EXTRA 30 MINUTES,, AND YOU COME 30 MINUTES EARLY,, AND YOU LEAVE 30 MINUTES LATE,, YOU START PLOWING IN THE DEEP,, AND DELIVERANCE STARTS to come, I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD CLAP YOUR HANDS A LITTLE LOUDER., HEY, WHEN YOU NEED DELIVERANCE,, YOU GOT TO DREDGE OUT IN THE DEEP. YOU GOT TO PUSH OUT IN THE DEEP. And eh started sharpening the dagger. He started he started premeditating warfare. Hope somebody's hear me right now. HE STARTED PREMEDITATING WARFARE AGAINST THE ADVERSARY. AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN THAT DAGGER WAS COMPLETE THAT EHOD HID THE DAGGER. HE GIRDED the dagger under his raignment UPON HIS RIGHT THIGH. Isn't that what the Bible says? I'm just It's just midweek Bible study. Bear with me. I got 15 minutes and 13 seconds left. Somebody just started their stopwatch. The detail here cannot be missed with two TWO TWO PEOPLE TWO TIMES that left-handed men were mentioned. You've better pay attention to it. And the detail of him hiding the dagger under his raignment upon his right thigh is not a detail to miss because moments later as Eglon the king of Moab is sitting in the summer parlor. They they were sending a present. The children of Israel thought they were sending a present by Ehod into that summer parlor. But but Eh was the one that had a present up his sleeve. Can I tell you sometimes the devil when the devil thinks he's got got you right where he wants you,, you got to have something up your sleeve. I wish somebody was hearing me right now. Hey, WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE QUITTING YOUR FAST,, HEY, SOMETIMES YOU OUGHT TO GO EXTRA DAY, JUST TO MAKE the devil mad. He's got he's got this dagger of thunder. has rained it upon his right thigh. So, we're preacher, what what's the significance of that? You've got to understand that the world's population is 90% right-handed. Everybody follow so far? Which means that the population of warriors on a battlefield are right-handed, but not E-hill. So, Ehod walks in this parlor. My question to you is how how does EhUD skirt past security? If you got a king, if you got a man in power that is always at risk of assassination, how in the world does EhUD make it into the summer parlor with the do doors closing behind him and go undetected? Now, if you say, "Preacher, I hope you don't stretch this text. I'm trying to stay in the book. because that's all right with everybody. You've got to realize that every warrior up until this point that men are fighting with their right hand, there's a small group of men that have the ability to fight with their left hand. and so if Secret Service, Brother Caleb, if Secret Service is going is going to is going to frisk HIM, GOING TO PAT HIM DOWN, IF THEY'RE GOING TO CHECK HIM FOR A WEAPON, you look like a good old secret. All you need is a headset. Praise God. IF I'M GOING TO GET IN PAST PAST THE SECURITY, IF I'M IF I'M GOING TO GET BEYOND THE DOORS OF THE GATES, I HAVE TO GET PAST HIM. How how I'm how am I going to get past him with a dagger and go undetected? Can I submit to you that it is not uncommon for men to carry carry the dagger the sword of their choice on the opposite hip in which they fight because on their hand that is opposite of the hand that they fight with in their right

hand if you're right-handed you're carrying a shield in your left hand. Anybody following me so far? IF YOU'RE SWINGING A SWORD WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND, YOU'RE CARRYING A SHIELD IN YOUR LEFT HAND, which means that the dagger goes on your left eye. Anybody follow me so far? Come on, don't fall asleep. I know we had a long day, but stay with me. Which means that every warrior THAT PASSES THAT GATE, EVERY WARRIOR THAT GOES PAST SECURITY,, THEY HAVE A DAGGER ON their left side. I'm going to quiz you just to make sure we still paying attention. BUT THE BIBLE SAYS DEFINITIVELY THAT EU HAD THE DAGGER ON HIS right thigh. Well, I feel my help in the room right now. He had the DAGGER ON HIS RIGHT SIDE, WHICH MEANS THAT IF THERE WAS ANY DETECTION, ANY CHANCE THAT SOMEONE WOULD SUSPECT A THREAT, THEY WOULD NOT LOOK ON HIS RIGHT SIDE. Anybody still follow me? Because it's very rare for a man to have a dagger on his right thigh if every warrior in the kingdom's fighting with their right hand. Oh, I feel something moving right now. But Eh wasn't a normal man. And if he CHECKED HIM, NO WEAPON THERE. HE SKIRTS PAST THE SECURITY AND HE'S MADE IT THROUGH THE COURTS. HE'S MADE IT THROUGH THE GATES. AND NOW HE'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PREMISES. HE AND EGLON along the doors closed behind him. AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN EGLON STOOD UP, HE SAID, "I HAVE A MESSAGE FROM GOD TO THEE, OH KING." CAN I TELL SOMEBODY RIGHT NOW? WHEN YOU COME TO THE ADVERSARY, IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, DELIVERANCE IS BOUND TO HAPPEN. DAVID SAID, "YOU COME TO ME WITH A SHIELD AND A SWORD. BUT I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FROM GOD. I'VE GOT A WORD FROM GOD. I'M GETTING MY CHILDREN BACK., I'M GETTING MY FAMILY BACK., I'M GETTING HEY, YOU THOUGHT WE GOT IT BACK SUNDAY?, I WANT IT ALL BACK., I WANT EVERYTHING BACK. I'M NOT COMING. I'VE COME WITH A PRESENT. I'VE COME WITH A GIFT. I'VE GOT A DAGGER IN MY HAND., I'VE GOT WAR ON MY MIND., I'VE GOT DELIVERANCE IN MY SPIRIT. OH, I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD CLAP YOUR HANDS IN THE HOUSE. HEY, SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO FIND OUT. PREACHER, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PREACH ON A ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT? I'VE COME TO TELL SOMEBODY,, IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET DELIVERANCE,, SOMETIMES,, YOU'VE GOT TO BE UNPREDICTABLE. OH, I wish somebody would hear me right now. THE HOLY GHOST. HEY, SOMETIMES, THE ADVERSARY EXPECTS WHAT HE EXPECTS., HE EXPECTS YOU TO SIT IN THE SAME SEAT., GO TO THE SAME SPOT IN THE ALTAR. CLAP YOUR HANDS THE SAME WAY., DANCE THE SAME. OH, I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD HEAR me right now. I'm going to MESS WITH YOUR THEOLOGY, BUT THERE'S A REASON WHY SOMETIMES WE GET MAD when a visitor come sit in our seat. Come on, say amen. Shame the devil. You That's why you got to get to church early. Praise God. You show up TO CHURCH FIVE MINUTES LATE AND THERE MIGHT BE A VISITOR in revival sitting in your seat. You got the same seat and by God, sister so and so better not sit in it. I put my purse there. Don't she know that? She knows that's what my purse looks like. Well, I'm preaching and I'm preaching the truth right now. You got your same seat. You got your same spot. WHEN THE ALTAR CALL IS MADE, I I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THAT 90% OF THE TIMES YOU GO TO THE SAME SPOT IN THE ALTAR. OH, I'm making the devil mad tonight WHEN THE SHOUT IS GOING ON. HEY, AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING A TWO-STEP. AT LEAST THAT'S BETTER THAN HAVING NO STEP. BUT YOU GOT THE SAME DANCE, THE SAME SHOUT, THE SAME PRAISE. BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE UNPREDICTABLE, SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO DO SOMETHING YOU NEVER DID. SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO DO SOMETHING THE DEVIL DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DO. SOMETIMES YOU GOT to Hey, SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO PUT THE DAGGER ON THE OTHER SIDE. AND WHEN HE THINKS YOU'RE DONE SHOUTING, YOU SHOUT SOME MORE. COME ON. I CHALLENGE SOMEBODY. I KNOW YOU MIGHT BE TIRED. BUT WHEN THE DEVIL SAYS SHE AIN'T GONNA GET OFF THAT SEAT, YOU OUGHT TO STAND UP AND SAY THE DEVIL IS A LIAR., I MIGHT BE TIRED AND WEARY., BUT I'M I GOT A WARRIOR IN MY SPIRIT., I MIGHT BE TIRED AND BROKEN., AND IF I NEVER RAN

IT OUT, I'LL DO IT TONIGHT. COME ON. I I HOPE SOMEBODY'S HEARING ME., HEY, I'M NOT AN OWL RUNNER. HEY, WELL, START RUNNING OWLS., I'M NOT A LEAPER. WELL, START LETTING YOUR FEET LEAVE THE FLOOR., I'M NOT A WORSHSHIPER. WELL, START WORSHIPING. YEAH. OH, I FEEL SOMETHING. I FEEL SOMETHING., WHEN THE DEVIL'S MAD, MAKE HIM MORE MAD. I'VE GOT TO BE UNPREDICTABLE IF THERE'S GOING TO BE DELIVERANCE. COME ON, SOMEBODY OUGHT TO SHOUT RIGHT NOW. HALLELUJAH. COME ON. THAT'S HOW BREAKTHROUGHS HAPPEN ON A MIDWEEK SERVICE. WHEN HE SAYS NO, JUST SIT THERE NOD YOUR HEAD SAY AMEN AND GO HOME. BUT WHEN A WARRIOR GETS A HOLD OF YOUR SPIRIT. Come on. I WISH YOU WOULD CLAP YOUR HANDS A LITTLE LOUDER. I'M NOT STOPPING YOU. COME ON. WHEN YOUR FLESH SAYS STOP, YOU KEEP GOING. Come on. I FEEL DELIVERANCE. COME ON. I HOPE YOU FEEL WHAT I FEEL. COME ON. WHEN A WHEN A PRAYER WARRIOR TAKES IT TO THE THIRD HEAVEN, WHEN A PRAYER WARRIOR DIGS DEEP WITH A DAGGER AND SAID, "I GOT A MESSAGE FROM GOD AND YOU THRUST THE DAGGER THROUGH YOU'VE GOT TO GET A LEFT HAND IN YOUR SPIRIT. Come on. I feel it. COME ON. I FEEL IT. COME ON. SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO LOSE YOUR LANGUAGE AND START SPEAKING IN THE HEAVENLY LANGUAGE. SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO LOSE YOUR MIND AND GET THE MIND OF CHRIST. SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO LOSE YOUR FLESH AND LET THE SPIRIT TAKE OVER. Come on. THAT'S IT. PORTER APOSTOLIC. COME ON. THE DEVIL EXPECTS YOU TO ROLL OVER AND PLAY DEAD. BECAUSE HELL'S FIGHTING YOU. BUT I'M NOT ROLLING OVER. I'M RUNNING TO THE ALTAR. I'M WORSHIPING GOD. I'M GIVING GOD MY BEST. Come on. WHEN YOU DO THE UNORTHODOX WHEN YOU DO THE BEYOND THAT WHAT IS NORMAL WHEN YOU GO BEYOND THE BOX WHEN YOU GO BEYOND NORMALITY WHEN YOU DO THE UNPREDICTABLE THAT'S WHEN GOD SENDS deliverance ei couldn't be detected because he was unpredictable because there's there's not many left-handed warriors in the kingdom. Can I tell you something? You got to get to the point that you're always trying to find some other way to get a breakthrough. It doesn't matter. Listen, do you think do you think that the woman the woman with the alabaster box cared one bit that there were some there that had indignation within HER HEART?, NOBODY HAD EVER BROKEN A BOX AND POURED OIL ON THE ON THE HEAD OF JESUS., NOBODY EVER DID THAT BEFORE., NOBODY EVER SAW THAT BEFORE., BUT JUST BECAUSE IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T DO IT. LISTEN, I DON'T CARE IF NOBODY IN YOUR FAMILY HAS EVER BROKEN AN ALCOHOL ADDICTION. I COME TO TELL YOU IF YOU START PRAYING LIKE NOBODY'S EVER PRAYED IN YOUR FAMILY. AND YOU START COMING TO CHURCH LIKE NOBODY ELSE HAS EVER COME YOU CAN BREAK THE CHAIN OF ADDICTION THAT NOBODY'S EVER BROKE. OH, I feel SOMETHING IN MY SPIRIT RIGHT NOW., IF YOU START BEING FAITHFUL,, I DON'T CARE IF NOBODY ELSE IN YOUR FAMILY,, HAS EVER LIVED FOR GOD, YOUNG PEOPLE., IF MAMA STAYS HOME,, IF DADDY STAYS HOME,, I'VE GOT TO BE UNPREDICTABLE. IF THEY SAY I CAN'T DO IT,, I'M GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY. Because there's an advantage when you start fighting with your left hand. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost right now. Somebody shout left hand. There's an advantage in the spirit when you start doing what the spirit wants you to do instead of allowing your flesh to run you. Anybody just curious what it looks like to fight with your left hand? Matthew 5:39, Jesus said, "When you fight and they

smite you on your right cheek, don't drop the Holy Ghost and meet him in the parking lot." I feel my help in the room. Listen, I know I know you ain't been saved all your life. I know you got a little hood in you. I understand. But you you can't be hood when you got the Holy Ghost. that the whole church say amen. Because you can't fight like you used to fight when you were in the hood. And I know, LISTEN, I KNOW YOU THINK I KNOW YOU THINK being left-handed is a sign of weakness. I know you think that that that that praying for them and loving them makes you weak. but that makes you stronger than anything. when you can turn the other cheek when they're lying on you. when you CAN TURN THE OTHER CHEEK WHEN THEY'RE PERSECUTING YOU. WHERE YOU CAN SAY, "I KNOW YOU BEAT ME., I KNOW YOU." HEY, THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU A CHILD OF GOD., WHEN YOU CAN BE STRONG IN THE FACE OF PERSECUTION AND SAY, "I'VE GOT A LEFT-HANDED SPIRIT AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU LOSE MAKE ME LOSE MY VICTORY. I'm just going I'm just going to pre PREACH PLAINLY RIGHT NOW TO HELP SOMEBODY GET DELIVERANCE. THERE ARE TIMES THAT PEOPLE have dominion over us. AND BECAUSE WE DON'T ALLOW OURSELVES TO DO WHAT THE SPIRIT TELLS US TO DO, WHEN THE SPIRIT TELLS us to forgive, you say, "I can't forgive them for what they did to me." Because if I forgive them, that means they won. I hope somebody hear me in the Holy Ghost. But if you don't forgive them, the one the person that won was not them. The devil won and you lost. But when you let them go, you're letting your let you letting your left hand fight for you. YOU'RE LETTING THE LEFT HAND OF THE SPIRIT FIGHT FOR YOU. WHEN YOU LET PEOPLE GO AND YOU FORGIVE THAT'S HOW YOU GET DELIVERANCE FROM THE SPIRIT CALLED BITTERNESS. THAT'S HOW YOU GET DELIVERANCE FROM THE SPIRIT CALLED OFFENSE. THAT'S HOW YOU GET DELIVER I'M PREACHING TO SOMEBODY. The reason WHY WE DON'T GET deliverance because if the right hand symbolizes normality then you can say that the right hand could symbolize the common man the common man of the flesh. but can I tell you you can't keep handling stuff in your flesh. Oh, I heard somebody say it again over there. I'm going to say it again. You can't keep handling stuff in the flesh. and and expect God to intervene. at some point, you've got to take it to him in the spirit. THEY CRIED UNTO THE LORD. THEY CRIED UNTO THE LORD. THEY CRIED UNTO THE LORD. AND THE LORD RAISED UP A DELIVERER. You say, "You got to turn the other cheek." And I ain't that. Listen, what I'm preaching right now is not popular. It is not the message of the majority, but being left hand is not the majority. I'm preach I'm still preaching to somebody. Verse 44, that same book, same chapter. He said, "You got to love your enemies." I'm going to sip my water because we don't like that one. Brother Williams, you don't understand how much hurt they caused my family. I'm preaching. I'm Listen, church hurt is real. Listen. And if you think that you won't ever get hurt in the church and you can keep hopping church to church, the church ain't the problem. Watch this. Because if you can find a perfect church. Stay out of it. Because since we aren't perfect people, we can mess up a church that's perfect. Listen, I've I've I've seen too many people that they run and say, "I don't want to go to church. There's too many hypocrites in there. Where else can hypocrites get deliverance?" Y'all not talking BACK TO ME. I DON'T WANT TO GO TO CHURCH. THERE'S TOO MANY LIAR. HEY, WHERE ELSE CAN LIARS LEARN TO TELL THE TRUTH? BUT IN THE HOUSE OF GOD. IN THE HOUSE OF DELIVERANCE. IN THE CHURCH OF I'M RUBBING UP AGAINST SOMETHING RIGHT NOW., HEY, YOU CAN'T KEEP EVERYBODY OUT THE DOORS., WE WANT EVERYBODY TO FIND DELIVERANCE., WE WANT EVERYBODY TO FIND GOD., WE WANT EVERYBODY TO GET SAVED., I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE,, WHERE YOU LIVE,, HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE., WE ALL NEED

DELIVERANCE. If you don't want certain people sitting on the pew next to you, my God, I I feel the Holy Ghost right now. You don't want to go to heaven. Every kindred, every nation, every tribe, every tongue. Oh, that's what I love about this church because I listen, I know the pastor. I know the church. And I can see what's in the church. I can see here who's here tonight. Can I tell you if you if you go anywhere else and don't feel welcome, you are welcome here. Come on. That's where the church folks are supposed to amen the preacher right there. Come on. COME ON. WE'RE JUST A WE'RE JUST A BUNCH OF NOBODIES TRYING TO TELL EVERYBODY ABOUT SOMEBODY THAT CAN DELIVER ANYBODY. But if we're going to be the church of the living God, we've got to get the left hand in our spirit. And the left hand says, "Do good to them that hate you." Listen, if ain't nobody talking about you, you ain't doing nothing. I hate to I hate to bust your bubble. The Bible says, "Beware when all men speak well of you." If ain't nobody talking about you, if ain't nobody cuss you out lately, you ain't living for God, right? Am I still all right, preacher?

AND I FEEL A WORD IN THE HOUSE. YOU GOT TO FIGHT IN THE SPIRIT. OH, I FEEL SOMETHING IN THE ROOM. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THE BOOK SAYS. THE BIBLE SAYS, "FOR WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, THE WEAPONS OF MY WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL." 2 Corinthians 10:3 says, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not we do not WE DO NOT war in the flesh. This dagger, this might can do something in the physical. It can't help you in the spirit. Hey, sometimes you got to take stuff to God and let God handle it. Come on. I feel like somebody's getting something's clicking in your mind RIGHT NOW. HEY, STOP GETTING YOUR YOUR SLEEVES DIRTY. my God, THE BIBLE SAYS, "DON'T CAST YOUR PEARLS BEFORE SWINE AND DON'T GIVE THAT WHICH IS HOLY UNTO DOGS."

BUT WHEN THE DEVIL GETS MAD, YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE HIM A MESSAGE FROM GOD IN THE SPIRIT. I'M GOING TO PRAY. I'M GOING TO FAST., I'M GOING TO PRAISE., I'M GOING TO WORSHIP. Here's what I want you to do right now. I don't know what decimal you normally pray at. I don't know how you normally pray on midweek. I don't know how you normally feel about midweek.
