I had trouble sleeping last night. And it wasn't out of nerve. It wasn't out of fear, but I felt so good in what God had done in the house last night, and I couldn't wait till part two. Amen. Could not wait. You may not feel it, but God's going to do something mighty this morning if we allow him to. The Holy Ghost has spoken. God is moving. And I believe God is going to do great things this morning. So blessed to be in the house. I wish everyone that was listening on Holy Ghost radio this morning can see the army of young people that are here this morning. And I am I am very grateful to be a part of what God is doing in this last day. So blessed to be a part of Acts 2:38 conference. Amen. And this is my wife and I's first time preaching in California in the great state of California in all of our travels. And we're glad to be in Bakersfield this morning. Amen. Amen. Amen. I want to give honor to the bishop, Bishop Frost and Pastor, Pastor Bradford and his his great family for putting on such a great event and inviting us to be a part of it. We're humbled. We're we're grateful. Amen. You ought to give your leadership a hand clap of appreciation. Amen. and all all of the ministering brethren that are here. Amen. I I leaned over to brother Ian last night and I feel honored. This is our third conference within six months sharing the same pull pit and so if I can come behind that anointing and let it get on on me this morning, I'll I'll be happy. Amen. Amen. But I I I do feel a word for this conference. I do feel that God is going to do something great and I don't want to prolong the spirit or prohibit God's spirit from moving. So let us quickly turn our Bibles to the book of Judges chapter 3 and verse 15. Amen. I am so glad that my wife is here with me. I could not leave my angel, my prayer warrior at home. Amen. I'm glad she's with me this morning. And I appreciate all my family that's praying and listening via Holy Ghost Radio. Amen. My good friend, Brother Jeff Hoffer. Amen. Great man of God. Thank the Lord for his ministry. Amen. And my pastor for allowing us to be here this morning. Amen. Last night, Brother Ursen talked about sharpening the sword. It was no accident that that confirmation in the spirit has led us to this point in this service. And I'm glad that there are young people this morning that are getting a hold of what God is doing. That you're grabbing a hold of the gospel for yourself. You're learning to fight for yourself. But it does no good for us to sharpen our swords if we don't know how to use them. And I want the Holy Ghost to speak to us this morning. Judges chapter 3 verse 15, the Bible says, "But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer." Eh, the son of Gera, a Benjamite. The Bible says he was a man left-handed. Everybody shout it loud with me, left-handed. And by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab. But Ehod made him a dagger

which had two edges of a cubit length and did girded under his ravenet upon his right thigh. Quickly Judges chapter 3 21. As Ehud steps into the summer parlor of Eglon the king, the Bible says, "And Ehud put forth his left hand." Everybody shout it again. Left hand. And he took the dagger from his right thigh and he thrust it into his belly. The final verse of scripture this morning is found in Judges chapter 20 and verse 16. The Bible says, "Among this people there were 700 chosen men." Left-handed. Everybody shout it again. Left-handed. Everyone could sling stones at a hair breath and not miss. I believe God's going to do something great this morning. There's a spirit. There's an atmosphere of warfare that we're going to take part in. And I believe that there's going to be some young people this morning. God's going to put a sword in your hand. Anybody believe that this morning, God's going to put a sword. Amen. Amen. One more time, lift up your hands and pray that God would help us, God. We need your power. We need your spirit, God. We need your glory, God, to fill this house. God, we pray God for a spirit of dominion and a power and authority God to shake the very foundation of this sanctuary. God, we plead your blood, God, against every spirit of the adversary. God, that will want to destroy and mingle the faith and the spirit of your people. God, we pray right now, God, God, that you would have your way, God, that you would take course, God, that you would move, God, uninhibitedly and unrestrained in the power in the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen. Somebody clap your hands one more time unto the Lord. Jesus. Come on. That's it. That's the Holy Ghost that you feel right there. I I'm telling you, the devil's in trouble this morning. Amen. I believe God's going to do something great. Amen. Amen. If you if you plan to have church with me this morning, God bless you this morning. and the fear of the Lord. Clap your hands one more time as you be seated in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Throughout the word of God, there is and there are a numerous amount of scriptures that the Bible uses to illustrate and give reference as a metaphor in teaching. And in these teachings, the Bible tends to use the members of our bodies as these methods and metaphors. The Bible talks about our eyes. The Bible talks about our ears. The Bible in many cases on numerous accounts uses our feet as reference. And as we've read in the two scriptures this morning, the Bible also talks about the hands. Everybody say the hands. It's very interesting to note that when it comes to these references, the phrase right hand is used 190 times within scripture. On the other hand, no pun intended. On the other hand, the left hand is used 100 times less. Only 90 times in the word of God is the phrase left hand used. Even fewer than both of those numbers, there's only two times in the entirety of scripture that the Bible gives reference to a man being dominantly left-handed. With such a few amount of references, I believe that it is fair and it is something that we should explore this morning to see what's this comparison all about. By a show of hands, I want you to raise your hand if you are right-handed. Everyone in the house that is right-handed, I want you to take a good look around at the crowd and I want you to note everyone that is right-handed. All right, hands down. Countering that, I want everyone that is left-handed to raise your hand.

I want you to look around at all the left-handed folks. You will notice that just as in the Bible days that there is a dynamic fact that in the world's population that 90% of the world is right-handed and only 10% of the world is left-handed. Now, this is interesting to note because when the Bible references the right hand, it uses some powerful language to describe the right hand. When the Bible talks about the right hand, Jesus sitting at the right hand of God, please note this morning that this is not talking about another man, another person sitting next to God because there's only one God that sits on the throne. Bible. The Bible is giving a metaphor, an illustration to use the right hand to note that the right hand is the hand of power and the right hand is the hand of strength. because we know THAT JESUS CHRIST HE HAS ALL POWER in heaven and earth and beneath and beneath the earth. You would find that even in Bible days, the men that wrote these very scriptures, the right hand, at the right hand, these men were using their right hand most likely to write those words because the right hand was known in that old day, in that ancient time to be the hand of dominance, the strong hand. BUT THERE IS DANGER in that understanding because if the right hand means power and represents strength then with common analogy it would leave me to question then what does it mean if you are left-handed? Does it mean that being left-handed is a sin? Does it mean that you are cursed if you are left-handed? Does it mean as in ancient times people believe that being left-handed was a sign of the devil and making friends with the left-handed folks so far? But I want to preach to you and tell you this morning as it pertains to the scripture the two references that we find the left hand was powerful and prominent when it came to warfare. that when it came to hand-to-hand combat, the man that was left-handed, HE HAD A TACTICAL ADVANTAGE OVER his adversary. BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE FOUGHT WITH THEIR RIGHT HAND. EVERYBODY ELSE FOUGHT WITH THEIR DOMINANT HAND. BUT THE MAN THAT WAS LEFT-HANDED WHEN IT CAME TO WARFARE, HE HAD LEVERAGE. HE HAD AN ADVANTAGE OVER HIS ENEMY. I want TO PREACH TO SOMEBODY THIS MORNING AND TELL A YOUNG PERSON THAT IT IS IN OUR BEST INTEREST THAT WE USE THE ADVANTAGE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US IN THE SPIRIT THAT IT IS IN OUR BEST INTEREST THAT WHEN WE FIGHT AGAINST THE ADVERSARY THAT WE USE THE ADVANTAGE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US IN THE HOLY GHOST. And I want to preach this morning and title this message left-handed leverage. Everybody say it with me. Left-handed leverage. You must understand that in our world, in our times, our young people are facing spiritual adversarial forces that do not want you to serve God. Not only does he does he not to serve God, he does not want you to live for God according to the word of God. there are young people in this room this morning that you every day you wake up you battle spirits of depression and spirits of anxiety and there's spirits of suicide that's trying to creep on our young people. and there's young people this morning that you go home and your parents don't live for God. and you face persecution at home. we face persecution at school. we face persecution at work. but I want to tell you that when it comes to the spirit, we must be like left-handed warriors. we must be like the children of God. AND WE MUST FIGHT WITH THE HAND THAT THE DEVIL CAN'T SEE COMING. I want to tell you there's a reason WE NEED AN ADVANTAGE IN THIS HOUR. WE NEED AN ADVANTAGE OVER THE DEVIL. WE CANNOT BEAT THE DEVIL AT HIS OWN GAME. WE NEED A SPIRITUAL ADVANTAGE. THE BIBLE tells us in 2 Corinthians chapter 10 and

verse three, FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. FOR THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE, THEY ARE NOT CORNERAL BUT THEY ARE MIGHTY THROUGH GOD TO THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS. I WANT TO TELL YOU YOUR ADVANTAGE IS WHEN YOU BEGIN TO CALL ON JESUS. YOUR ADVANTAGE IS WHERE YOU BEGIN. I want to tell you that THE WORLD MAY THINK THAT YOU ARE CRAZY BECAUSE YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES BUT THE WORLD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN I GET ON MY KNEES AND I BEGIN TO BUILD MYSELF UP ON MY MOST HOLY FAITH PRAYING AND THERE'S AN ADVANTAGE IN THE SPIRIT. I want to tell a YOUNG PERSON IT MAY NOT BE IT MAY NOT BE COOL TO LIVE HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS BUT WHEN YOU WALK IN HOLY ANOINTING AND YOU WALK IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD GOD WILL GIVE YOU DOMINION GOD WILL GIVE YOU AN ADVANTAGE GOD WILL GIVE YOU LEVERAGE OVER THE ADVERSARY. I don't know if you feel what I'm preaching to you this morning. We need we need a spiritual advantage over our adversary because the devil does not fight fair. The Bible says in Ephesians chapter 6 and verse 12, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities. Everybody shout principalities. And we must be careful as the church because sometimes when we face ridicue, when we first face persecution and people are coming against us and people are talking about us, it is very easy for our flesh to r up and want to fight against the devil in the flesh. You can't just put the Holy Ghost down and say, "Meet me in the parking lot." Any time that you fight against the devil in the flesh, you will not win. But I HAVE A TACTICAL ADVANTAGE WHEN I BEGIN TO plead the blood of Jesus against every enemy that comes against me. WHEN I BEGIN TO CALL UPON THE NAME OF JESUS, I'M TELLING YOU, THEY MAY CURSE YOU. BUT JESUS SAID TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. TO PRAY FOR THEM, THAT PERSECUTE YOU. TO BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU. I cannot think that I CAN BEAT THE DEVIL ON HIS OWN TURF. I WANT TO TELL YOU AND I WANT TO TELL A YOUNG PERSON THIS MORNING THAT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IN THINKING THAT WE CAN OVERCOME THE THE SPIRITS OF PRINCIPALITIES with fleshly principles. I think I'll say that again since you didn't catch that. You cannot beat the devil devil of spiritual principalities with fleshly principles. You will lose every time. Now I I I may I may cross your philosophy, but I want to tell you that we deal in the age and we're living in A TIME WHEN ANXIETY AND depression and suicide is trying to grab a hold of our young people. and there's a temptation to run to THE HIGH SCHOOL GUIDANCE COUNSELOR. BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THERE'S NO COUNSELOR THAT WILL GIVE YOU A WORD LIKE PREACHING CAN. OH YES. I WANT TO TELL SOMEBODY THAT YOU WHEN YOU WHEN THERE'S SPIRITS OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL THAT'S PULLING AT OUR CHILDREN I WANT TO TELL YOU THERE'S NOTHING THAT WILL BREAK AN ADDICTION LIKE THE HOLY I NEED ABOUT THREE PEOPLE TO HELP ME PREACH THIS MORNING. I'M TELLING you that WE LIVE IN A TIME WHERE WE NEED TO USE OUR ADVANTAGE. WE LIVE IN A TIME WHERE WE NEED TO USE THE SPIRIT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US. TEEN PREGNANCY AND PROMISCUITY. IT THERE'S NOTHING YOUNG PEOPLE THAT GOD CANNOT COVER YOU LIKE THE BLOOD OF JESUS CAN. OH, I FEEL THE HOLY GHOST. YOU OUGHT TO TAKE SOME TIME AND THANK GOD THAT WHEN I AM WEAK HE IS STRONG. THAT HIS STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN my leverage when I use the spirit of God. When I come to the throne of grace boldly,, and I begin to pull down the anointing that I need,, when I need a miracle,, WHEN I BEGIN TO PULL DOWN THE SPIRIT OF GOD,, WHEN I NEED A BREAKTHROUGH,, GOD WILL STEP IN., GOD WILL INTERVENE FOR YOU., GOD WILL

FIGHT ON YOUR BEHON. AMEN. But I I I want to teach to and talk to you for a second. I want you to sit down. Thank you so much. I I want to I want to explain to you what left-handed leverage is. You see, in the story of Ehud, the Bible says that the Lord raised up a deliverer. And Ehud was a judge over the land of Israel. But there was something peculiar. There was something special about him. The Bible made a point, Brother Brock, to let us know that he was not like everybody else. that he was just a little bit peculiar, that he was just a little a little different. Does that sound familiar to anybody? And the Bible says that his his peculiarity was that he was left-handed. Everybody shout left-handed. The reason why I believe that was important and I and in my mind I I I tend to I tend to draw draw conclusions. I tend to make make things up. I I I I I tried to imagine E-hud, if I can get a little help. I tried to imagine Ehud. And the Bible says that he made himself a dagger. He made himself a dagger. And man, it probably didn't look this cool. He made himself a dagger. The Bible says it had two a edges of a cubit length. and he did girded under his ramnet upon his right thigh. Now that probably doesn't make sense for most people, but you must understand that during warfare that in most times when a man carried a dagger or a sword that he would have a shield accompanying that. And so you would have a shield in one hand and you would have the sword and the sheath on this side. Which means if the shield is in this hand, I can easily pull out the sword from that side. Is that making sense for everybody so far? AND BECAUSE EHUD WAS LEFT-HANDED, I believe that HE EXPRESSED AN ADVANTAGE BECAUSE JUST FOR SOME REASON IN MY MIND, I want to be careful not to add to the word. The Bible says that gifts blinded the eyes. And so they presented, he said, I have a gift from from God, from the children of Israel to you, oh king. But the Bible also says that he was left-handed. So that that dagger THAT WAS ON HIS RIGHT THIGH, I imagine him trying to go up to Eglon's security. How in THE WORLD DID HE GET INTO THE COURT of the king without being detected? How did he get so close to Moab that Moab, the king, that that Eglon, the king of Moab, did not anticipate that he was going to die that day? You can't just get to the president and shake his hand. That's secret service you got to go through. Somebody say amen. And so I imagine this is my mind. This is not this is not the Bible, but this is my mind. I imagine with the dagger being on his right thigh, I imagine him going up to Eglon security and then giving him a one-handed pat down. BECAUSE IF HE HAD A DAGGER, if he fought like most men, IF HE WAS LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, HE WOULD HAVE HAD THE DAGGER ON HIS LEFT THIGH. BUT THE REASON WHY EHUD GOT A TACTICAL ADVANTAGE OVER HIS ADVERSARY, I BELIEVE IT WAS BECAUSE E-HUD WAS A unpredictable warrior. I BELIEVE HE COULD NOT BE PRE-CALCULATED. HE COULD NOT BE DISCERNED. I BELIEVE THAT HE WAS UNPREDICTABLE. I'll tell you why we need unpredictability. IT'S BECAUSE WE LIVE IN AN AGE WHERE WE AS A CHURCH HAVE ALLOWED OURSELVES to be professional in our approach to worship. Anybody want to help me preach this morning? I believe that we we COME TO THE HOUSE OF GOD AND WE CAN SHOUT JUST RIGHT. I'm going to step down a second. WE MAKE SURE THAT THAT THOSE CURLS THAT WE TOOK TO CURL FOR 3 HOURS THAT WE CAN DANCE JUST A LITTLE BIT THAT IT DOESN'T FALL IN OUR EYE. and WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT OUR TAILOR SUIT THAT WE RUN JUST RIGHT SO WE DON'T RIP A SEAM. BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT WHEN YOU NEED DELIVERANCE AND YOU NEED THE POWER OF GOD YOU CANNOT BE A PREDICTABLE I NEED TO WORSHIP GOD LIKE NOBODY ELSE IS WORSHIPING I NEED TO PRAISE GOD LIKE NOBODY I NEED TO pull

Don't let HIM RUN BY HIMSELF DON'T LET HIM RUN I'M TELLING YOU THE DEVIL KNOWS AND PREDICTABLE WARRIOR THE DEVIL KNOWS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GO SO FAR I'MMA CLAP MY HANDS FOR 10 SECONDS AND STOP. BUT YOU NEED to I WONDER IF THERE'S ABOUT 30 SECONDS THAT YOU CAN GIVE GOD A LEFT-HANDED PRAISE. THAT YOU CAN GIVE HIM AN UNPREDICTABLE PRAISE. THAT YOU CAN GIVE HIM. I'M TELLING YOU, THERE'S POWER WHEN YOU GO BEYOND THE NORMAL. THERE'S POWER WHEN YOU GO BEYOND THE MUNDANE. THERE'S POWER. Don't stop. I FEEL THE HOLY GHOST MOVING. I'M TELLING YOU, THE DEVIL GETS NERVOUS. WHEN HE SAYS,, YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M NOT GOING TO BOTHER HER TONIGHT BECAUSE SHE'S NOT GOING TO PRAISE ME LIKE SHE'S NOT GOING TO PRAISE GOD LIKE SHE SHOULD. I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT HIM BECAUSE HE WON'T GET PAST THAT WORSHIP. BUT WHEN YOU GO BEYOND THE PRESS, AND YOU GO BEYOND THE NORMAL and There's power and dominion when you go beyond the normality. The right hand is the hand of normal. The right hand is the hand of monotony and and the MAJORITY OF EVERYBODY ELSE is doing it. but I want to tell you that the devil will sit next to you. and he'll tell you that YOU WON'T BE WHO GOD CALLED YOU TO BE. THAT YOU'LL NEVER GET WHAT GOD CALLED YOU TO RECEIVE. BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT WHEN WE NEED DELIVERANCE AND WE NEED POWER AND WE NEED ANOINTING. WE GOT TO GO BEYOND WE GOT TO GO BEYOND THE NORMAL. I'M TELLING YOU, I NEED A LEFT-HANDED DAGGER. I NEED A SWORD OF THE SPIRIT. I NEED AN ADVANTAGE OVER MY ADVERSARY. IF YOU PRAISE GOD RIGHT NOW, GOD WILL BREAK IT. IF YOU PRAISE GOD RIGHT NOW, GOD WILL DO IT. IF YOU GIVE GOD THE PRAISE THAT THE DEVIL DOESN'T EVEN SEE COMING. I know it's Sunday morning, BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT I KNOW IT'S MONDAY. I KNOW IT'S MORNING TIME. BUT YOU OUGHT TO PRAISE GOD. YOU OUGHT TO WORSHIP GOD. I'm not stopping anybody. YOU CAN'T SHOUT DURING PREACHING. YOU CAN'T PRAISE GOD DURING PREACHING. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR. IF I NEED A BREAKTHROUGH, I'M GOING TO SWING. IF I NEED DELIVERANCE, I'M GOING TO SWING. Get to THE THRONE OF GOD. GET TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. GET TO YOUR ANOINTING. GET TO YOUR POWER. I feel it over here. I feel it. I'm telling you, there's dominion and power when we use the spirit of God to our advantage. I'm TELLING YOU, WHEN YOU begin to plead the blood of Jesus over your grandchildren and YOU BEGIN TO PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER YOUR PARENTS THAT ARE NOT SAVED AND YOU BEGIN TO PLEAD THE blood Come on. I know WHAT THE DEVIL EXPECTS, BUT I'M NOT GIVING THE DEVIL WHAT HE WANTS., I'M NOT GIVING THE DEVIL WHAT HE SEEKS., I GOT A LEFT-HANDED DAGGER IN MY HAND., HE CAN'T SEE IT COMING., HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S COMING., BECAUSE I'M DETERMINED FOR TO HAVE AN ANOINTING., I'M DETERMINED TO HAVE DOMINION AND POWER. The right hand is he expects you to be like everybody else. I want to tell the devil this lion devil that wants to make our young ladies feel like there's something embarrassing about not cutting your hair. I want to tell you that you better go to Corinthians and know that the reason why you don't cut your hair IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE POWER YOU HAVE AN ADVANTAGE YOU HAVE AUTHORITY OVER EVERYBODY ELSE THAT does it. YOU WANT DOMINION, YOU GET TO GOD. YOU WANT POWER, YOU USE THE LEFT HAND. YOU WORSHIP GOD. I want to tell A YOUNG MAN,, IF YOU FEEL THE CALL TO PREACH,, DON'T LET ANYBODY STOP YOU., IF YOU FEEL THE CALL TO BE A SOUL WINNER, DON'T LET ANYBODY STOP YOU., IF YOU FEEL THE CALL TO BE A BIBLE STUDY TEACHER, DON'T LET NOBODY STOP YOU. YOU CAN'T DO WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING.

DAVID, you can't be like your brothers. They're shaking IN THEIR BOOTS. THEY'RE IN THE VALLEY OF ELA AND THEY'RE SHAKING IN THEIR ARMOR. BUT I NEED YOU TO GO BY THAT BROOK AND I NEED YOU TO PICK UP FIVE SMOOTH STONES. BECAUSE YOU WON'T SLING LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. YOU WON'T SWING LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. ESTHER, YOU CAN'T PUT ON AND PAINT YOUR FACE LIKE EVERYBODY'S PAINTING YOUR FACE. BECAUSE I NEED YOU TO STAND BEFORE THE KING. I NEED YOU TO HAVE AUTHORITY. I NEED YOU TO BE DIFFERENT. OH, there's a spirit that's lingering right now. you ought to grab a hold of it. there's power through God. AND THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS. YOU HOW YOU KNOW HOW YOU PULL DOWN STRONGHOLDS?, YOU PULL IT DOWN WITH YOUR HANDS., YOU PULL DOWN THAT POWER., YOU PULL DOWN THAT ANOINTING., YOU POUR DOWN THAT BREAKTHROUGH. OH. OH, I feel it. Don't you Don't you feel that anointing? Don't you feel THAT YOU'VE BEEN STRUGGLING?, AND YOU'VE BEEN TRYING YOUR BEST., BUT I'M TELLING YOU, YOU JUST KEEP ON SWINGING., YOU JUST KEEP ON GIVING GOD YOUR BEST. I got a dagger in my left hand. I GOT A DAGGER IN MY LEFT HAND. I'VE BEEN BATTLING WITH AT HOME. I NEED A DAGGER IN MY LEFT HAND. I'VE BEEN BATTLING STUFF AT SCHOOL THAT NOBODY KNOWS. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE INSIDE. BUT I GOT A DAGGER IN MY LEFT HAND. We need to learn to put the devil on the run and keep him on the run. The Bible says that WHEN HE STUCK THAT DAGGER IN THE BELLY OF EGLON, the Bible SAYS THAT THE HALF WENT IN AFTER IT AND I BELIEVE THAT E-HA JUST WALKED AWAY. He had no intentions of taking it out. you get victory IN THE HOLY GHOST,, YOU JUST STOMP ON THE DEVIL'S HEAD,, AND DON'T PICK IT UP., AND YOU WALK IN VICTORY,, AND YOU WALK IN ANOINTING AND SAY, "I'M NOT GOING BACK TO WHAT HAD ME BOUND., I'M NOT GOING BACK TO WHAT I'VE BEEN BATTLING WITH., I'M A LEFT-HANDED WARRIOR. YOU OUGHT TO SWING AND DON'T STOP SWINGING., YOU OUGHT TO PRAISE AND DON'T STOP PRAYING. YOU OUGHT TO WORK WHEN EVERYBODY ELSE IS STUFFING THEIR FACE. YOU TO PUSH THE PLATE AWAY AND SAY I'LL FAST TODAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Almost done. I'm almost done. Listen. Keep praying. Listen. Listen. The Bible says that when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer. Eh didn't just jump on the scene. God prepared him. God dained him. God orchestrated his life in a manner that when it was time for him to move, that he moved without inh. And I was in prayer. I was in that prayer room and I felt a spirit. I felt God was ra was was doing a raising that God was raising up some young men. and God was raising up some young ladies. and God was training up some young men. and God was building up some young ladies. it is GOING TO HAPPEN IN ACTS 238 conference. if you GET A HOLD OF THAT LEFT-HANDED DAGGER, GOD WILL RAISE YOU UP. AND WHEN THE DEVIL STEPS IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU'LL GRAB A HOLD OF THAT DAGGER AND YOU WON'T LET GO. I want to keep you said I want to explain saying Benjamites were known to be left-handed. They were renowned for being left-handed warriors. They were not like anybody else. But not all of them were born left-handed.

Just like in the Middle East, they begin to at early ages to use their left hand. They would tie their right hand behind their back, praise them with their left hand because if you was a left-handed warrior, you was a bad man. You could not miss. You were almost incapable of being defeated. But I plead the blood of Jesus and I pray against that spirit of the adversary that wants to despise and diminish the youth of our church. Every spirit that wants to bind and tie the hands of our young people and tell them that they can't be used for God. The devil is a liar. 1 Timothy 4:12 says, "Let no man despise thy youth." Proverbs 22:6 says, "To train up a childh and the way he should go, and when he is old, he won't depart from it." I believe that it's time that we as a church should not discourage our young people from teaching home Bible studies. WE SHOULD NOT DISCOURAGE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE from knocking doors. And you might not know how to hold that dagger just right. But if you begin to pray, God will give YOU DOMINION. AND GOD WILL give you power. Might you might not know how to use your left hand. but you just KEEP SWINGING. AND I'M TELLING YOU, GOD WILL GIVE YOU AUTHORITY THAT YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN KNOWN WAS CAPABLE of receiving. In the old times, they used to they used to talk about prayer warriors. people that would pray six and seven hours AND THEY WILL STUMBLE OUT OF A PRAYER CLOSET THE EYES SWOLLEN SHUT with with sweat wrenching down their clothes because they were in PRAYER BUT I still believe that God's raising up prayer warriors in this hour and you might NOT BE ABLE TO PRAY FIVE MINUTES BUT IF YOU GIVE GOD THE BEST FIVE MINUTES YOU HAVE GOD WILL GIVE YOU POWER TO PRAY 10 AND WHEN YOU PRAY 10 GOD WILL LET YOU GO 30 AND WHEN YOU GET TO 30 GOD WILL GIVE YOU A AND YOU'LL BE PRAYING TWO HOURS WITH POWER AND AUTHORITY. WELL, PREACHER, I'm I'm afraid to knock doors. You I'm I I'm shy. I'm timid. I have a a introverted personality and I I I I I get a little nervous when I go to knock on people's doors. I'm telling you, if you pray for God to give you authority,, and you pray for God to give you strength,, that God will give you a boldness in your spirit,, and you just get the courage to knock one,, YOU KNOCK ONE DOOR AND GOD WILL GIVE YOU POWER TO GO TO,, YOU KNOCK TWO DOORS,, AND TWO WILL TURN A THREE,, AND A THREE WOULD TURN. BEFORE YOU KNOW, YOU GOT A BUS LOAD,, AND A CAR LOAD AND A PRIUS, AND YOU'RE TAKING PEOPLE TO CHURCH. WELL, PREACHER, you don't understand my I I I I know what you're saying and and and and all that Bible study teaching stuff is good, but my kids know Deuteronomy. They only know Acts 2 and 38. But I'm telling you young people, you better you better teach those scriptures. You better teach those scriptures until they are blotted off the pages of your Bible. Because if you begin to open up the pages of God's word and you sit face to face with a sinner,, I believe that God will put the words in your mouth., and Acts 2 and 38 will turn to Acts 4 and 12., and Acts 4 and 12 would turn to Acts 8 and 12., AND ACTS 8 AND 12 WOULD TURN TO ACTS 19 AND 5., AND ACTS 19 AND 5 WOULD TURN TO ACTS 10 AND 48. I'M TELLING YOU,, WHEN YOU GET DOMINION AND POWER IN YOUR LEFT HAND,, AND YOU DO WHAT NOBODY ELSE AND YOU DO WHAT NOBODY ELSE IS DOING,, YOU OUGHT TO STEP OUT WITH YOUR LEFT HAND., YOU OUGHT TO STEP OUT. OH, I FEEL IT. LIFT UP YOUR HANDS., THERE'S DELIVERANCE IN THE HOUSE., THERE'S POWER IN THE HOUSE., IF YOU NEED A BREAKTHROUGH,, YOU OUGHT TO GO BEYOND THE NORMAL RIGHT NOW., IF YOU NEED DELIVERANCE,, YOU OUGHT TO GO BEYOND THE PRESS. OH, I FEEL IT. I FEEL IT. I FEEL IT. DON'T GIVE GOD A BROADWAY PRODUCTION.

YOU TO GIVE HIM YOUR BEST PRAISE. DON'T GIVE GOD A CHARISMATIC WORSHIP. YOU GIVE HIM A LEFT-HANDED WORSHIP. YOU GIVE HIM A PRAISE FROM YOUR HEART. YOU GIVE HIM A BROKENNESS FROM YOUR SPIRIT. Come on. You feel abused, you keep swinging. you feel persecuted, you keep swinging. YOU FEEL DOWN AND OUT AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ANOTHER DAY. YOU GET THAT DAGGER IN YOUR LEFT HAND AND YOU KEEP SWAYING. That's it, YOUNG LADY. DON'T BE ASHAMED TO BE HOLY. DON'T BE ASHAMED TO WALK RIGHTEOUSLY. DON'T BE ASHAMED. GOD HAS GIVEN YOU DOMINION, POWER, AND AUTHORITY. I wonder if somebody that would pray like your life depended on it. that you would pray for YOUR MAMA THAT STRUNG OUT ON DRUGS. THAT YOU WOULD PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY THAT HASN'T BEEN A CHURCH IN 10 YEARS. WHEN IF YOU WOULD PRAY WITH POWER IN YOUR LEFT HAND AND SAY, "I'VE BEEN PRAYING THE SAME PRAYER. I'VE BEEN PRAYING THE SAME WAY. I'VE BEEN CLAPPING THE SAME WAY. BUT I NEED A BREAKTHROUGH NOW. Come on. That's just somebody swinging with the left hand right now. I pray a spirit of authority. I pray a spirit of dominion I PRAY A SPIRIT OF POWER AND ANOINTING FROM THE THRONE ROOM OF GOD. YOU TO LIFT UP YOUR LEFT HAND AND GRAB A HOLD OF THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT. LIFT UP YOUR HAND AND GRAB A HOLD OF THE ANOINTING THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU. HE'S NOT LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. HE CALLED YOU. HE'S NOT LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. HE ANOINTED YOU. OH, WHERE THE INTERCESSORS AT? WHERE ARE THE INTERCEDERS IN PRAYER? WHERE ARE THE INTERCEDERS? AND SAY, "GOD, CAN YOU HELP ME? DON'T PRAY LIKE YOU ALWAYS PRAY." THAT'S WHAT A DEVIL HAS YOU. THAT'S WHY YOU'VE BEEN PREDICTABLE. THAT'S WHY YOU IN THE MESS YOU'RE IN. BECAUSE YOU YOU PRAY THE SAME PRAYER EVERY TIME. BUT WHEN YOU GET A DAGGER IN YOUR HAND AND YOU SAY, "GOD, I'M DESPERATE RIGHT NOW." GOD, I'M DESPERATE RIGHT NOW. Come on, IT'S VICTORY. COME ON, IT'S VICTORY. COME ON, YOU NEED TO SHARPEN THAT SWORD. COME ON, SHARPEN THAT SWORD. COME ON, SHARPEN IT RIGHT NOW. GET IT READY. WHEN YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL, HAVE IT IN YOUR LEFT HAND.
