where he said come apart and rest a while oh great but the next verse down it tells us this five thousand people come out there and found them with ten thousand problems it was hungry and they were sick and everything else the preacher that has the power God work in his life can't really get hit very long the people's going to find even we're living in a time it's walk our legs off hunting them but if we're in the move of God they'll hunt us down I had a lawyer walking him office a few weeks ago and he said I just come over here to ask you to tell me how to get the Holy Ghost I said I'll be very happy I said now and that's something folks get so hungry they have to look us up you know needing help praise the Lord but if you'll notice out in the hills for they used to be a spring of water trails the animals of the park looking for water but if it goes dry the trail will grow up they'll look for another waterhole right when the preacher is an artesian well overflowing Thank You Monica Amy when I get ready to have a maybe call somewhere to have a healing service camp meetings or something I prepare for it I pray I read the scriptures and I say them and like I said you know you you got to say it everything the Lord ever created he did it with words he said let there be light and there was light let there be and let there be and rise take up your bed and walk he had to sing it and there's something about when the Word of God is deep inside as I tell you last night and then you say it you put the very Living Word of God and there's God speaking amen and you give it power by having prayer and faith behind it but over and over I have watched when I get in tune in the dimension where the healing is working there is a place where it works you know that you preaches know that there's a place where you get word souls will be touched you know you can't create conviction not a living thing in the world you can do to create conviction only preach the word amen we can scare them but they won't stay but real finding Holy Ghost conviction will get ahold of dr. brother said last night I'm not woman's minds open to though once the guns you can't beat it in the heads it comes as a revelation but as I pray and I'm getting in tune suddenly my phone begins to ring across the nation I need half I'm a sick I'm having a breakdown dying we can't preach these heart attacks different things you know why they call him the spirit moved him to because I was into the Lord never sends people to a dry waterhole when you got it God will use if you don't have it you picture loud does it that's why we as ministers have to stay in tune with the Holy Ghost whenever you in tune for lost souls it'll walk in your office like that oh you didn't and he got the whole gun and baptized in Jesus name then that is hard to convince some of these doctors and lawyers as I preached to I baptized him in Jesus name I talked to dr. one night thirty minutes on baptism Jesus name he said sounds like the truth to me said when could you do it I said you're right now so but I had something here I wrote this down my older past it's only ministers the secret of the genius like Einstein and Edison and all these fellas the secret and I thought now that's a good one they know how to work without waste of energy we waste a lot of it sometime but we're instead of praying and I'll tell you one when you preach your heart out that's not all I appreciate will room these Church more and better on these knees sometime after the service is over when they're trying to sleep anyway on the pulpit but they know how to work without waste of energy in order to get the best that's within themselves now this is it they learn to eliminate from their thoughts and actions everything which would subtract from their purpose they learn to eliminate subtract you know we always add I tell brother right craft about a call amazed several years ago when he's old tent stuff I said you remembered he said yeah I said if he came up on a truck he's driving a truck and I loaded for brake and you begin to smell rubber and finally the thing just stalled it on your towers burning up I said you got out you saw your overload Springs flat down on the tire I said what would you do power some old brake on or unload now most of us preachers we pile on a few more you know when the smoke you can smell the smoke for a mile we still piling on break we've got to learn to subtract to eliminate some things lest we be crushed praise God when I woke up earlier this morning 6 o'clock you see you fell asleep I hear that's the main preachers here well they slept last night there's always two or three won't let you sleep you ever notice that you had a good time though didn't you you get at least length and there's always some around I remember one time we used to go fishing and the wagon days I get to think I was coming by over here back through the country and I saw a John Deere place you know where they made all these different things when I was a boy their owner John Deere wagon was like owning a Cadillac now you know that is outstanding wagon you know but anyway we'd go fishing and we'd sleep on pallets so one night there's about eight or ten families we all know why I went down to the lake and and you know your tie the horses up you know the trees in here and there so we or one the morning one of the boys decided to have some fun so there's all their own pilots you know fathers and mothers and kids and he got him some harness wrapped it around and started running down through there hollering wool well brother he had the lead because people were grabbing young uns so I imagine that's about what's tell me you thought I was fooling last night but if appreciate don't laugh he'll cry so much better to laugh and to cry there's a time to cry but I I woke up this morning this is all my mind I just I rolled down a whole bunch of stuff here they jot it down I'll just what I was thinking about and my text for the next few minutes will be keeping your footing in times like these keeping your footing oh and you know the story here you read it and you preach it a hundred times true to the Lord is Psalm 73 truly God is good to Israel even to such as are of a clean heart but as for me my feet were almost gone my step said well nice left one thing about old David II he just plain confessing hey vana and here was his problem I was envious at the charismatic no Envy said too foolish when I saw the prosperity hills that charismatic I mean awaken rebel there was no bands in their death and their strength his firm I think he's exaggerating a little here and now watching there he admitted it later they are not in trouble as other men in jails and everywhere else and we hadn't been yet neither are they plagued like other men there for pride compasseth him about as a chain violence cover with him as a garment you know what he went on to say any way he said barely I have cleanse my heart and vein I have preached standards and look like they're growing faster I am you know Jesus getting his church ready he's getting it on the firm foundations and they said this is a hard saying he said in essence you can't take it there's a road I'm gonna have a church for this few or many founded right on the right doctrine everything I won't have one that's Jesus if I can't have the kind of church that was planned from the foundation of the world he said I just plain more have one and if I can't have an apostolic church and preach it like it is I just move out under a tree let the world go by but anyway he said for all the day long have I been plagued and chastened and every morning somebody on our trail and of course you know preachers they have problems for patients you know the Lord told Abraham said Abraham I make your father many 10 years went by and I were young 15 years and he'd make old John he had 16 kids he wasn't worth the Psalter went in his brain all of them boys Sarah says Abraham I don't understand it Oh sister Lu down there's got 18 young guns she's a long tongued old huzi and she I don't understand 18 young as he said y'all just looking old veil over 15 and so they got impatient and they messed up in the world been messed up ever since god help us preachers to keep her feet solid God said it he'll do it I don't always agree with the Lord he's too sold for me sometimes but I had been able to hurt him up he just don't seem to you know in the Bible he said he paid no chance to go run the morrow things about the Lord now Lord what now you know You Know Who I am yep sure I know you need something to me what you asking for right now you need a little patience you know lady came up to old brother B echoes said burl Echols pray for me to have patience he laid his hands on her head and said o God send this woman trials and tribulations she jumped up thank you sir my god brother cup said that's well said I said I'll meet up with that man I said any what I want he said well the Bible said that's where you get them and that's pretty sorry to have a lot of how we are tried some time and I don't know what I was thinking somebody the other day verse Oh about he'd give up his office in Louisiana I said I just got to stay home my wife and my church I said yeah I said maybe that's why the Pope decided preachers didn't need wives they figure they never would be with him no way but it's a good thing Elijah didn't have a wife Jezebel is paying too much special attention to him but I hear from one every now and then if there's a Jezebel on his trail she'd give him my husband's phone number and they had a dress but that don't happen too often I tell you the the best friend we got is Jesus the next veteran is our wife the table today also the reason a lot of preachers get in trouble I said if you watch splits and different things is happening there's always a key filler somewhere motivate you don't get right out in the limelight but he's stopping this and dropping that yeah until we learn to join hands with one another in love one another and well and realized the fact we're to follow nobody but Jesus as the fellas walking my office few years ago they were followers they had mana William Browns movement and they knew that in years had gone by and that we had been together and prayed together and it was on tapes and different things you know and they came over just feel me out and I said now look I believe what he preached when he preached the truth but they said now look you've got to believe he is God's prophet to be saved us and you're all buraco to believe Jesus Christ and him crucified to be saved and I said have you ever read in the Bible that prophets made mistakes in the Bible somebody introduced me one time as a prophet well I paid the Prophet just lives in my house like he does yours that's very dangerous I said I find in the Bible where God you say prophesied exactly the way he said prophesied will the people kill him and if he didn't prophesy the way God told him prophesy God County between a rock and a hard place but I'd rather God to kill me in the devil's crowd praise God but I said you see here is where you fellers are off I said now we know the prophets the mistakes they made in the Bible because the Lord tells us it's written that the prophet of God lost his gifts and direction and got killed and even Jeremiah the great prophet was carried away with another prophet it was a false prophet and the Lord had to straighten him out on it men are human and I said you can't put all your faith in any human being I said now you tell me that William Branham was perfect in every way and I said really I don't I don't know about that I said I I know that all of us have got faults and failures but you are telling me that there's not one ought against him I said I can't read about him in here the Lord hadn't wrote down for us to read what he thought about the man all the way through well they said tell you one thing said that type ministers over and all of a sudden when they said I had a strange feeling I didn't know these fellows I looked at one sitting I said you've been married before you're not living with a woman you started out with he said that's right I turned to another and I said you were worried about what that homosexual made a patch that's the other day why did he make a pass at me he said you're right they walked out I hadn't seen him anymore God can work through anybody he wants to work to amen just don't worry about it will give ourselves to him he'll take care of us and he loves us don't ever forget that He loves us He loves us I was telling you a little about the battle and long about the same time whenever the Lord appeared to me hi who's having a missionary service in mendon and there same thing happening it just literally made me sick you know how did your kids are so close to you and of course I dedicated her to the Lord and I'm gonna see her in heaven in spite of the devil and all of his angels and I was lying on the couch and there's going ahead the service the preacher is preaching I said Lord you know we get a little down sometime you know I said I know you do but if you love me I said would you have somebody just coming in to him one day he hard-headed playing three days before one of the missionaries while he's in Bogalusa the Lord spoke to him and said when you get to mendon go tell TW Barnes I love him and he was sitting in and all of a sudden it hit him and he got up and left while the preachers preaching in five minutes after I said that and knelt but my bed in there and he said brother bars before I left Bogalusa I don't understand it I don't know why but the Lord told me just to tell you that he loves you he loves us preachers he really does when we're down and going through the valley he loves us he knows what we're going through and sometimes there's a reason sorry that we can't see but job said noise slay me all trustees I'm gonna hang in there I'd like to reminisce just a little bit keeping our footing the times like these all right I've been in this this month 60 years I've been preaching 47 60 years ago in the month of March I came in contact with Pentecost Jesus name Holy Ghost and they laid it down then straighten heart a lot of water is going on the bridge I was in the in the church a long time before we got organized we had a mess we'd have revivals somebody else come along care that we have pictures come through that had two three wives we didn't know it there's no way to check up on nobody just just everybody was all Torah and I was so glad when the brother got together and decided we're going to be apostolic we're gonna put our name on the dotted line and our names gonna be known more people can check up on it they want to you don't want a lot of people don't like organization they don't to be checked upon right you know I some don't want it they want to eat their members out but they don't want nobody to set them straight and some of them in my time has left it in order to get the church and run all the good Saints off and sell it and put the hundred thousand dollars in the pocket so there's a lot of reasons you know now I'm not saying organization alone saves anybody know ten thousand times no but we're all pulling together we're here we're pulling together we believe the same thing and I have watched them come and I watched some gold in those days for all things and I watched them split I've watched the splinter groups pulling off unhappy I don't know all the reason some of them would get great revelation one feller he had fasted forty days so he said I doubted some of these fellers fast and they drink grape juice and orange juice and and milkshakes and I just don't eat bread and onions I know people's done that but some of these fellers I just didn't pan out thank you for fast and prayed for today's he wouldn't let them Devils got him in a way he came up with a great revelation you know that we were so many years behind and he had these little rubber stamps I never forget and one of our count meetings not in Louisiana II wouldn't miss it but they split off this fella had a revelation that the name baptism was obviously and all these things he was just he was a are what she called a fanatical charismatic before his time he was playing tonight and he had money that's the thing about he was walk about half a million dollars to preach his bar and money from me took the advantage up and all of a sudden after that day I was there whenever this the the assistant the column chairman is then pulled off and went with him he they had some type he even minister they claimed Church didn't believe in it we've always believed in henan some ain't got good spiritual sense if you don't anyway he got another revelation that he was to leave his wife and eight children and we're a 19 year old girl because they was gonna have a son that would set the world on fire but it happened to be a girl that's some of the things way back in there way back in wild fanatical stuff it's a strange thing how the devil will work he works on us so many different ways he'll come at you you know and try to make you think you somebody come somebody that she used to dial the church would just fold up overnight we wouldn't even be one of them are and I have noticed that man that love count meetings and conferences usually keep their footing a lot better than those that don't because we need one another we must have one another please God and now just discuss this just a little bit level I've watched him work on preachers and it's so easy if we get if we get to a place maybe we're 40 somewhere in there I've got a good church finances everything going that's a dangerous time if we ever stop praying we're in trouble the preachers that prays stays out of trouble that woman office last week and wrongful one of our preachers he said I wish I'd never seen him well she evidently thought he's gonna keep his high place you know and he went to the gutter that's what happens you know I hear these things you know and I some of the saddest experiences I've had this to stand to the bedside of a minister dying lost and thicket of one outstanding minister buddy fell understand and he stayed in it stayed in it to me just God cut him off and I I would try to pray with him he was dying he said by the Barnes don't waste your breath I'm doomed to a lake of fire he said I prayed but it don't do any good that God don't hear my prayer and it was just like praying for that poor people he lay hands on there was no flow he drew his last breath and when the Eternity saying I'm lost forever if ever we need to get close to our wives and stay there don't don't ever take them just for granted let's look it's absolutely necessary preachers for us to love the feminine spirit of a woman and not just a body but a woman unless she loves the masculine spirit in a man she'll never be a good way the masculine spirit that God placed there made in His image and unless she loves that part of him she'll give him nothing but trouble that spirit inside of her body and have fellowship with it you see there's three steps to being totally completely happy here you have a mixing last night you've got a body you've got a soul you've got a spirit and the human soul of every man and woman desires fellowship with their companion that's the souls cry to talk to one another to laugh together cry together whatever the soul yearns for that I don't care how big you on our strong yard if you married you soul desires fellowship with that feminine spirit and then the human spirit desires someone who can trust someone will trust it you take trust out of a marriage it won't be long to fellowship go and it's the body marriage and they fall apart but one it's body soul and spirit the way God Almighty complained it planned it it'll never fall apart they won't be any looking over the fence because you have found everything in a woman your soul trust in love with that part the feminine part she needs to be listened to and you need to listen to her it's good for you to stop and to listen she can be a great help at all times my wife has been so strong over the years she don't talk much she's strong she's approaching the time of the change of life I said wife I counsel ladies that's going through this all time I said I want you to prepare yourself before you get there through prayer faith reading some good medical books and whenever she came to that she went through it with flying colors you know there's a lot of times if you don't have your mind made up and you faith applied before the thing hits you you get frustrated but if you know where you're going you got your plans it's already lay down there's a lot easier praise the Lord now one of the great needs that I've watched and days gone by watching preachers fall by the wayside and believe the organization to get in trouble you know all these things oh they need a balance yes there is a need for balance and the preacher's life balance by the word of God you watch these fellers they'll go to the extremes this way one time and the next way time the other way you know and they've set an office lately and and say well we don't anything wrong and cutting hair women cut I said you know what you're hitting I said you know you say well don't be contentious about it just let them do what they want to the next thing you'll be doing is saying don't be contentious about water baptism let them baptize the way they want to hear don't be contentious about the Holy Ghost be in the new birth just you know get saved or whatever you know that's why they didn't don't know it if you told me preaching it but they are you know some other one day left you know and that's obscenity garden girls in the office when I was in the church now been baptized in Jesus name and what they was telling me they said we don't understand you know of course they came in grew up the centers of God they didn't know about them days whenever they was just a strict on as we are I said I can remember well when your church preaching just like we preach it and I put this question to myself why is it that for 19 over nineteen hundred years it was right for the ladies of the church to have long hair then in this end time all of a sudden it's all right in 1920 they started it in the United States I remembered well the Baptist preachers are preaching against them but that's something to think about for nineteen hundred years don't be contentious all said there's not but one way we don't have any other method for 1,900 years it what's that way and somebody gets a great revelation but it didn't come from the book the Paulding write a whole chapter there on it and then say well it don't make it a difference and then write all about the Holy Ghost from Genesis of Revelation that coming in the future then finally wild up sin well you don't have to have it no way you know they get the idea that I made a mistake one time I got off from false doctrine one time one time one of our elders put out a track the ties was not in the New Testament it said we drive a lot of people away getting up preaching time and our church doesn't know the word left impression just fill up and she just wouldn't be beat him over the head about tithe I was passing my first church well I thought well he's one of the old-timers maybe he's right maybe this under the law and I got up whether you have Kenan super dent Arkansas was one of my members and he went along with it to do pretty good because he was at a fair but you know what happened they didn't have anybody the church fact I'm quick they got the happy-go-lucky or everything they just put I guess they used the times to go to the picture show and you know what happened the old faster he like starve to death rats eat mother only suit of clothes they had up my shoes while I'd handle money I had decided it was good for them and B to pay time but you see I could just see them just and a lot of you say well we're gonna lower standard now and tell them they can cut the hair and here they come one date it over close to me and a hundred to be his good ones left look the world is waiting for an Apostolic challenges when you get the real thing they'll die apart they'll go to jail you're part they were burned to a stake they wondered about she closes when you get the real thing a little old junk this stuff it they're talking about this keeping them out don't keep anybody out acts 2:38 didn't cheat those Jews out 3000 come in when you preach it with a Holy Ghost have you think you're gonna lower your standards I don't believe you nobody here like that hey cuz you know better how they cannibal that because they hadn't got a check that's not the Apostolic Church the Apostolic Church preaches repentance what about ISM and Jesus saying the infilling of the Holy Ghost essential to salvation and the Lord will never send anybody out there's they just find it go when the Lord told Cornelius he needed somebody to tell him how to be saved he didn't hunt up one of these liberals he got the man with the keys since then for Peter he'll tell you how to do it when the Lord sends the angels or somebody he's not gonna send to tell him to go somewhere where they don't reptiles and Jesus ain't gonna send them to the truth there's a lot of folks floatin out there they just floating around but there's a real genuine Church this setting in the earth true blue 100% I don't know what you see preacher would you look at tomorrow I've often thought about the Pilgrims and when they landed 1620 after 65 long weary dangerous days and when they looked there was a wilderness I was wild Indians it was lines it was Tigers but they left a country where they couldn't worship God like they wanted to they didn't look at the inlands they didn't look at all that they looked at one thing or we can worship God the way we want to worship God but you know when they landed there there wasn't much to look at all in my face you know there were some of those leaders saw but young the engine the Lions and the Tigers they saw farms colonies those churches little dam roads here and there but all the profit could have stood in the same that is going to be the greatest nation on the face of the earth one day there'll be super highways from one end of it to the other there'll be jet airplanes screaming through the sky automobiles skyscrapers richest nation on the face of the earth send admission airs more than all the other nations put together around the world but one day there was nothing but danger in trouble and Indians and malarial fever Andras tears and all of that but the old pioneer spirit so we can what do you see preacher well I see pornography I see the abortion is crowd I see I see you television and it looks like it's hopeless they'll say God didn't raise apostolic preaching up to look at that but to look beyond it so the greatest revival the world has ever seen if an old journals got a certain area that he needs help and the best he sends his best trained men to that ear and he puts the best weapons he's got in their hands and said go when the Lord was planning this church from the foundation of the world he had his book out write it all down there's gonna be a Pentecost after the cross there's gonna be an outpouring gonna have some problems even the Jews we're not gonna spread it to the gym table like they should be still be a little bit bound to their I don't know we're gonna have some Dark Ages and I'm gonna bring them out and I'm gonna raise up the best preachers the world's ever had for the ending I'm gonna select the best I'm gonna give him my best everything I've got because they're facing the days of the Antichrist and that's you and that's me if I didn't believe it I'd walk out man he knew from the foundation of the world that you would be sitting here today God pointing all things he raised you up from your mother's womb and called you to preach the gospel in 1985 he has his very best to give to you he will not hol withhold anything from me everything he's got that he's saying let's go but now we can get a little over fearful about the Antichrist and we are the people that can hinder him until he's cross-eyed I want you to know we are hated in the pits of hell because we have helped him back 2,000 years Paul said he was back in his day all the folks act like Daniel beam Antichrist oh right after rapture and the come on and it's right here it's gonna happen maybe this year or next let me tell you something we've got a lot of work to do there's a world lost out there and I don't believe God they spared his arm like it wants to do and give it a swing amen now look to the Lord you're better if you're not careful you get the idea just sort of give up chained to it know how cause the Lord's coming this year next year you may not come for 20 years you may come today yeah when I was a young feller the early days the good ol days they were preaching the Lord was coming in I either 28 or 29 tracks about on me oh you're the living daylights out of us I don't think anybody put a good post in the ground they wouldn't no need to paint the church because it is all over brother I heard him say man look at them automobiles look at them airplanes had some little old bitty ones flying around this is it this year our next load 28 one by 29 was moving in we set up to midnight last night five minutes he's gonna come within this next five minutes daddy say you kids pray brother we just praying and shouting and talking in tongues and I'll tell you something did come a depression movie art event planting potatoes I sold some of my board events through the tribulation what you couldn't buy and I sell hell no money to buy with and how nothing to sell and they come out with a three sixes shield honey my drink the mark of the beast at least that kind and that was a bitter stuff ever put in my mouth and I believe he's coming and I believe the marks of Easter's coming the real but I said this if we're not careful Satan will use this to get us to relax to not do nothing and he said occupy until I come stay with it hammering away amen I'm coming tomorrow I want you to do a good job today well these fellows have come to every few years they either telling us the Lord's come in the next year too or they come in through saying the day's revivals over and some got the nerve saying that when it's just blowing up all around robot whatever but they say it's not the right kind yeah I don't know Tony might have had a little that intimated somebody's come running back said hey here's you fella not the only one getting some 3000 got it out in the street know how you gotta get an upper room then get a good experience you know some of them at you three gets it everybody in some districts go away but if you said 50 they don't believe in big things and believe little bitty teacher win see tooth big days God shriveled up he's become Church of Christ then they come and they go I was standing another's chambers we look into the crowd the general comments about 15 points Allen dr. my sit down what some young fellow - got up and prophesy had this 30 years ago he looked at me he said there - called him a fanatic she'll never be no such that we're supposed to go all the way and that's the truth beam under you according your faith now there's one other thing that hinders those some ministry they get lost in the crowd well I'm just a little nobody now you said that and the devil said amen but the Lord didn't say that I know where you're and he said no he he's got to have a man to do this job and he's got to have one to do that he's got to have one to go to a big city and he's got to have one to go to a listen he's got to have wanted to go out in the country and he's got to have one then go out the highways and hedges now the film he sent to the big city that had the big church he could turn around all the way up set into the highways and hedges and since the photo he sent out there that never he's a helper 13 Sunday school and then to both finish success if they listened you see it's a call God has to have man here a cell man there why can't we be happy but if you were this not but a hundred people and you've got 99 of them don't be content to get that other one hang in there that's what the Lord wants you to do and when you have gathered in the hundred and you got them on the Lord comes you're a war to be as great as a fellow that had a hundred thousand ways can we learn that I am a minister called and ordained and there's no big guys there's no little use what God were all his working for he wants us to work harder fellows in back slid because I know one fella highways or turn there's no one Dallas he said I want you to go with me out here to see it yellows ten all right well he's a friend of mine preach the rely was funny and he said now boy he said that's it that's it he said when you're gonna give up your church and do that well I said I never get what I said I looked and I said Richard when I can feel this content priests in the 50s there's ten thousand I stay the same I might go but he went native actually and he got a visitors and he's somewhere in Arkansas sitting on the mountain waiting for Louisiana to go underwater I've been there 20 years you know I love you but you see I just said now Lord you saying Louisiana's going onto the water yes I said you tell me the day an hour so I can work here and just leave 30 minutes before it goes under I need to get these folks age but he's been up by 20 years it hadn't come yet you see these wild troublesome spirits can blow you up until now some of these fellas out there that's heaven the big go the Lord left the truth do anything you want to do big enough to do you know while they're still have crops some of them the devil called off all of his demons said they don't want maybe to go over there he's doing just what I want him to do and I want to look good and they whole bunch to backslide and he'll be in sin with a woman they're drunk or something so long and they'll all go up one time but I don't want you fellers to bother now I don't even mistake fly to go there go away jump on them UPC I heard one thumbing up here brother Kraft he's changed the song he bought me all the deep miry clay he sings the true church he brought me out of the UPC what are the difference balanced preachers now today I talked about yesterday some of the things like Tara I could go on on on that god help us but today this is our day yes this is a day that God is raising up even young men I've watched some fellows in their twenties doing marvelous things it amazes me I just thrills me praise God and do you know what if we all preach the same truth the devil has a tougher time now I remember a time that they've won too many preaching gifts of the Spirit butter crash and that were jumped on me all four feet but if ever picture had been preaching it like it should have been preached you know if they'd have been ten thousand jobs the devil is he wasn't around too many and the more of us preaching the same thing sticking together that's the thing puts it over you don't take anything for me or somebody else is being used it just gives us a bigger feel a greater feel out there you let one man when he is coming up with the truth a devil was after him with everything you had but thank God we're growing by leaps and bounds God's I just telling brother craft God's given us good spiritual leaders in so many places man with the vision looking for great things now let's talk about tomorrow just a little then you want to ask a question or something I don't know I may have wandered around a little here but we're just preachers talking thank you while I've been talking you've been room and listen to been seeing some things back you undertook all do a better job at it in me but when I look at tomorrow and that I'm not talking about way off somewhere and another day today and tomorrow I look at it I see victory I see God doing something to people and I brother talking about the lady last night it God just did something to her mind you could have argue to that woman talk to her and I don't know they just take two when you say one they say three that's tradition the tradition of the elders is just beat in them and be them and beat in them it takes a visitation of the Holy Ghost and you see the one thing we need to do now we have a revelation of the name we have a revelation of one God and I love it but now we've got to get it to them in power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost that will remove the veil well he can sing it you may have heard me tell it but I was I've been preaching to people you know just go in and talk to him about faith you know this one old fellow he was dying and he called me the her visa Methodist preacher heard me on the radio and moment he come and while I was just preached his faith to him he jumped out of the bed said I'm healed and I want the Holy Ghost I fought town for years he said and now I see it I had to set a thing about tongues and said a thing about the Holy Ghost heart but I see it I see it I see it you see suddenly the veil was lifted there it is that's our job to minister until it happens so often we we dealing with the intellect instead of the heart when our sermons and this word is soaked in prayer you you know why Jesus went to Calvary two reasons first he was persuaded that his dying would shed blood that was powerful enough to forgive the worst person you ready and then he was persuaded that death wasn't powerful enough to hold it destroy this temple and in three days I'm gonna raise it back up you know why we got a church and I'm persuaded I'll build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it your God is persuaded why don't you get persuaded yeah good let's say again ready the three of the three greatest words of life thank you it's not God is love its I am persuaded God loves me it's not God is able to heal its I appreciated God will heal me we've had such moves of the Holy Ghost here and yet somehow God is said to my heart tell these people the greatest thing they'll get out of this whole conference is to walk out of here with an innate persuasion so I got a word for you some of you got prayed for some of you got anointed some of you got spit all over somebody slapped you around and you didn't get your healing the Lord told me to tell you tell my people sometimes my healing comes as a seed and they want a full harvest that's a miracle but miracles are not always given to people but healing comes as a seed what does that be you better be persuaded to seed can be stolen you better water it you better protect it you better nurture it you better pray over it you better bless it you better encourage it you better talk to it you better be persuaded that the miracle is in the sea
