been standing on Holy Ground I know what Moses felt when he stood in front of the barning Bush and the angel of God said put off your shoes this is Holy Ground it struck last night got another little glimpse of what he's about to do in the end time this is not my text but let me read you Joel was the Pentecostal prophet and he saw the outpouring of the Holy Ghost all the way to the end hear this the Lord is saying Ye Old Man and give air all you inhabitants of the land ha this been in your days or even in the days of your fathers we can say that about the service last night have we ever had it just that way there might not have been near as much running in the aisles a holy field reverence fell upon the crowd last night and this is something to last the shouts good but this will last it'll be with you out there in the battle out on the desert that kind of service will stay with you I want us to pray earnestly but the service today before we through here I want to talk to you today about when your Mountain just won't move and uh what to do about it and how to move it anyhow I'm reading here the old familar scripture the best when it comes to big things that I know of in the Bible in Mark 11 chapter 21st verse and Peter calling to remembrance said unto him Master behold the Fig Tree which thou curses is withered away and Jesus answering said unto them have faith in God for verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain be thou removed and cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he sayith shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he saith and remember yesterday I said prayer without faith is only words don't get anywhere you got to pour your faith into it and get down and be serious full of Desire even Jesus reached a place in his prayer once that he said he prayed more earnestly you've got to get down the business in Earnest to get you first Faith to working he amen now listen to what he said and for verely I say unto you or rather the 24th verse therefore I say unto you what things soever you desire whatsoever things you desire When you pray believe here's where faith comes in believe that you receive them before you see them before you feel them before there's any kind of a physical manifestation believe you receive them and you shall have them and you shall have them when your Mountain won't move let's pray right now father we stand in your holy and divine presence thanking you for the faith once delivered under the Saints and we stand here today knowing that even after last night you have greater things and always greater things until you come back after us help us to learn to grow and to not reach a certain Peak and become satisfied until we're filled with all the fullness of God baptize us a new with the power from on high let the name of the Lord be glorified today all day long and tonight again we desire a visitation we long for you to come and talk to us oh Lord we cannot exist without you we need you we need you we must have you we can do nothing without you in Jesus name praise God praise God praise the Lord now when the Lord answers your prayer you should always than him for it and he answered our prayer and many others that couldn't be here the prayer group out walking every morning sister Tenny and many others to move last night and he did and now let's thank him for it father we thank you praise you for visiting us tonight last night thank you Lord thank you Lord thank you Lord thank you Lord praise the Lord praise the Lord praise the Lord praise the Lord hallelujah hallelujah God bless you you can be seated I would like to begin by telling you just a little and not much sister Terry Spears will be speaking to us Wednesday night she has gone through a terrible Valley but thank God the mountain has finally been removed from the very beginning before she got surved the Lord spoke to me and he said she won't die tell her that but it look like I times had to say Lord did you really talk to me he said yes because over and over she went down to the very to death's door and I I knew that Satan had attacked the world network of prayer and he chose here uh to destroy uh her daughter uh to make her look like a nothing out there leading World network of prayer but that's why the Lord said this is an attack from hell but she has been chosen by Satan to try to weaken the world network of prayer I let it go long enough for the whole world to know about it and begin to pray about it and then the devil will have to leave but he said I will as I did to job after this I will bless her and anoint her and give her a greater Ministry hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah so remember it don't matter how long it takes if you stay with it and don't get bitter stay sweet and full of faith you'll come out on top and the end now the question is when your Mountain just won't move and you know you've prayed about it for years perhaps you've fasted you've had everybody that you know to pray uh that your mountain move and it just won't seem to move but I'll tell you this if it's sin you know God wants to move it right if it's a sin a secret pet sin you know before you ask it's the will of God for this mountain to go and I don't think the Lord was talking about lital mountains here he can move them if he wanted to he could pitch pik's peak in the for a headache to be healed and uh but there are weaknesses sometimes there is fear worldliness and sickness sometimes it comes our way and from way back inherited it perhaps and we prayed against it fought against it and I've had them to call me and say preacher I've prayed I've fasted I've got everybody in the world I can think of to pray with me and my mountain is still there uh is it God's will to move this mountain it all depends on what it is and I've named some of them here and you perhaps are looking at a big one today that you've been looking at for a long time but remember what I said last night when you pray just please remember who you're talking to don't forget who you're talking to you're not talking to somebody that might or maybe he can you're talking to the almighty God everything you see out there at night when you look up in the sky he called them into existence nothing and were planted out there and they keep finding more and more and they'll keep finding more some of these little old peons brain I guess will explore because God's a big God and he's plenty able to do anything he says in this book amen so when the Lord speaks to those planets every one of them and our way of saying it tips a hat to him every one of them he knows them name and if he knows those old dirt uh planets by name like he does the moon and uh the sun he knows your name because you're more important to him than Sun Moons and stars so the question is we have uh are we secretly expecting it to stay has Satan been able to put a a little thought way down inside somewhere or another and hide it subconsciously would be a little surprised if it did disappear this is the way he works you know uh some great people I have known uh that Drew great crowds and I saw many wonderful healings in their services yet they had a weakness that they battled and some of them died years before their time because Satan can trick you into not believing for yourself you can believe for others and see great things happen but he'll take your faith and use it against you he got one of them to believe he'd die at the age of 56 and he did he shouldn't have because he should have lived to in at least 70 another man that was one of the great ministers he had an ailment in his body that he died with but I stood and watched many miracles happen and people get the Holy Ghost and crowds but there's something if you don't watch he'll take your faith and use it against yourself watch that you won't get your Mo Mountain out of the way if if you do that now if God's word says He will if God's word says yes he'll never say no remember that if God's word says yes that means he wants you to have that and sometime you have to Wade through hell to get it but praise God that's what he loves to see keep walking keep fighting now I've had them to call and say well preacher my mountain is I can't have Revival it's been years since we had anybody get the Holy Ghost now I know that God wants to move that don't you and I'll tell you what if you in a church like that he wants to use you to help bring it to pass that's why you're here hearing this we're going to move that mouth amen amen that's the devil put it there Hallelujah everybody say in Jesus name this mountain has got to go from my church My Town my community praise God praise God hallelujah I I you believe that don't you can you see it going you know I've listened to people talk about death you know and all the thing going to happen it's going to some of them going to end it in this m and so they follow when they die in the hospital they see the uh field director coming and getting them and you know th and and then they put out there for everybody to come by a few flowers on them you know and uh and then they haul them down to the cemetery and then finally they let the casket down and there it ends I W tell you honey that's not my vision about death when I die in the hospital or I die at home I'm leaving there Hallelujah Glory I'm coming out right there I'm going up right there the rest of that don't matter praise God hallelujah let's let's see what we want to see you know the best thing for us all right somebody said Church trouble well that mountain needs to go and if you are the cause of it you need to go you're the mountain sometimes you know when you pray well God moved the mountain yeah sister so and so left yep praise God he moved the mountain it's causing all the trouble amen let's don't be that kind of mountain praise God praise God praise God now can God I read here re in Romans 12 and3 God hath dealt to every man The Measure of Faith and this happen when you receive the Holy Ghost now if this this great God of ours saw fit to give us the measure of faith when we were born again don't you think he could add to it if we needed it since he's the author and the finisher of our faith there's times I get up against things and I say Lord I need some of your faith now I just ran out I I I got got to have some of yours praise God and I have seen I have felt this more than once now to ask study pray and seek the Lord this is a way to grow in faith Daniel prayer caus angels to fight and job finally his Mountain came down because the Bible said after this and Jesus he defeated the devil and finally he left but now we we're talking about moving your mountain and I'm going to maybe blow your mind a little now uh maybe it isn't good for your Mountain to be removed mov D I used to have a member she was the most faithful lady in the church every time the doors open she was there praying always there with her little boy sitting by her side but her husband was a drunk and he would tear up the place he live next door to me and tear the house down just about at sometime but one day he dropped dead that was her Mountain he dropped dead and she backslid and went to the bottom this mountain kept her coming to church living for God Amen had she Liv longer had he lived longer than she she probably went to heaven but instead I don't know whether she ever repented and made it right or not but sometimes it's good for some people to keep their Mountain amen now the Apostle Paul he said these things he said I was given a thorn in the flesh and he said I prayed and the Lord said my grace is sufficient now here's a man that decided not to pray against this mountain anymore but I'll tell you what he did do he rose up over it amen his Mountain caused him to pray and to fast and to fight and to have Revival and to see signs and wonders and miracles all over the world and to write 13 books of the Bible his Mountain was a blessing to him so if you can live closer to God and have greater revivals bigger churches gifts of the Spirit manifested all right all right but now if you can stay in the spirit it's wonderful but most of us if we get in the flower beds of ease and it gets too easy I do find out by experience that the more battles mountains up up up against the more I pray and talk to God amen amen amen I went out early and then it didn't seem like any time M night it's 2:00 in the morning in my office still battling praying against a certain thing but during this prayer and walking through this Valley I was learning things about the Lord Jesus Christ I would have never learned any other way there's something about it sometime amen amen we used to sing that old song I am determined to hold out to the end praise God come what may I'll hold out to the end I'll never quit I'll never quit I like what that young lady's leading last night the choir said and she walked up praise God she is in this to stay I'm in it to stay good or bad hallelujah amen I'm in it to stay when I'm not successful I'm in it to stay when I am successful I'm in it to stay when I'm having Revival and I'm in it to stay until I have another one if that stop stay with it stay with it stay with it Hallelujah now if you're mountain is sickness he wants to heal you of that right now he never has like sin or sickness there are some things he'll do today he'll save today he never did say come back tomorrow and I'll save you he said today is the day of salvation today is wants to work a miracle in your life today is the day the Lord wants to open your eyes and open your ears and touch your heart right this moment I feel him now moving the Holiness of God the pure Holy Spirit settling down over us now it's up to you it's up to you move it or if it's better rise up over it you got to do a lot of praying and fasting to stay up over it amen amen amen I don't know what his Thorn was I always felt it was a demon Spirit or a fallen angel Ang that were sent to stir up trouble if you'll notice he got on a ship there was a storm he tried to build a far there was a snake wherever he went the devil was there but he kept rising up over he'd just shake it off in the far and keep going he rose up over it praise God praise God in the jailhouse he wrote books of the Bible he rose up over it praise God praise God praise God well you notice these planes had better fly up over the mountains there's a few didn't but they better get on up there but I noticed and riding them they have to gun it sometimes they get it to climb on up there and also to get out of the storm praise God Amen the way out of the storm is always up spiritually always up if you're in a storm too bad not too long ago I was praying I said Lord how in the world I said I'm from one storm to another if not for myself somebody else I said when in the world am I ever going to be happy and he said between storms you know if there's one yesterday and another coming tomorrow but the sun's going to shine today why not jump up and down and have a good time today if you drag yesterday's storm over into today then take it on with you to the next one you'll stay in a storm all time my God in heaven I don't like storms so I'm not dragging one of my inch praise God we had one yesterday the sun comes up today I'm going to say thank God the Sun's shining and everything's lovely I'm going to have a good time today say I never do have any time to relax relax between the storms praise God we're fearfully and wonderfully made so many wonderful things we can do we're going to go to the Lord in prayer and uh you know I I felt like last night there wasn't a devil nowhere I mean they couldn't n even even in the woods there's something about the blood that scares the Daylights out of them Hallelujah I've walked through dens of devils possessed people under the blood under the blood that's the only way I can do it praise God praise God praise God wherever you at if you're under the blood you're safe safe In the Arms of Jesus safe safe hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah let's stand and love him right now praise God praise the Lord hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelu praise the Lord praise the Lord Hallelujah I know you he often I do the devil's been after me all day I long for the day when I can hear somebody testify and say I've been after the devil all day and he's still running we're supposed to run the devil not him run us no wonder he stays around some people they Magnify Him all the time H they always saying something good about the devil you know some people absolutely is afraid to resis him they they use that scripture even the angels uh was careful about not rebuking the devil but let little something I've got more than the Angels had they desired to look into this
