------------------------------------------------------------
I want to turn our attention to the book of Isaiah chapter 40 and verse 3. Reading from the King James this morning, says: "The voice of him that cryeth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." And with the help of the Holy Ghost this morning, I want to preach on "When His Glory Is Revealed." When his glory is revealed. Would you mind just praying with me one more time and asking God to have his way for the remainder of this service?

Lord, we just love you so much, God. We're just so thankful for the special touch that we've already felt this morning, God. Right now we give you the rest of this service, God. We give you everything, every part of us. Oh God, every good thing and every bad thing belongs to you right now, Jesus. And we release you in this place, and we ask it in Jesus' name. Everyone said amen.

Oh, creation — what a wonderful teacher creation is for us. Consider the son at 93 million miles away. The sun is the closest star to our planet, burning at a ferocious 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It is the most important source of energy for life on Earth. But notice, in all of the sun's power and all of its grandeur, the sun has a set time that it rises and it has a set time that it falls. And this magnificent event that we call sunrise and sunset takes place every day. All of the money, ingenuity, man's wisdom, scientific and technological advances can do nothing to stop the order that God has set in motion.

Consider the seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Seasons are the result of the Earth's orbit around the sun, and the Earth's till — Earth has a tilt of 23 and a half degrees — and if this were to change to one direction or the other, we would see dramatic and possibly devastating changes to the Earth's atmosphere. All of these things are ordained and orchestrated by the master Creator himself. In these seasons we know that there is a time to plant and a time to water and nurture, and there is a time to gather what has been planted. And if you're confused about any of that, you can see Brother Freeman after service. And it doesn't matter what you do — you cannot plant a tomato plant out in the elements of winter and expect a harvest in the spring. Seasons have a purpose and a plan, and these are all ordained by God.

Scientific estimate state that there are 50 billion birds globally, with around 1 billion of these being sparrows. And Jesus said that not one of these sparrows falls to the ground without him knowing about it. He says that, "I see the sparrows, I feed the sparrows, I take care of the sparrows, and are you not much better than they?" And so the truth I'm wanting to convey this morning is: if that God has a time and a place for the son, if God has a time and a place for the seasons, if he has a daily plan for creation, if he is concerned with the life and times of a sparrow, then we would be unwise and maybe even foolish if we were not totally convinced that God has a perfect plan for you and me. God has a plan and a purpose for you.

And don't be mistaken this morning, and hear me and hear me well: God's will for you isn't some random set of occurrences or happenstances. It's not some general idea. Throughout his word we find that his will and plan is a daily occurrence. "Give me this day my daily bread." And how many steps does a man take in a day? I can't answer for sure, but I can tell you that the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord, every single one of them. And so my point is: he's got a plan for you. He's the master architect of our lives. He is the Potter and we are the clay. And you can rest assured on this fact this morning: he has a will for your moments, he has a will for your days, your months and your years. And my brothers and sisters, what I would submit this morning is, what you will find at the center of God's will for your life is him. He is the center of his will for your life. He is the treasure hidden in the field. He is the lily of the valley. And he was the lamb for sinners slain. And he is

our perfect will. And you might say, "Well, that seems a little self-serving," but I would say to you, on the contrary — because when you find him and you find his will, what you will find is that his will is that you would have life and you would have it more abundantly. So it's not self-serving at all. His will has everything to do with you and I. But what is nestled in his perfect will is the simple fact that he must be center and foremost.

"Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and all thy soul and with all thy might. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord am a jealous God." And so if you are a person seeking the will of God for your life, I would summarize it for you in this way: seek him. Seek him first and continually, and don't you ever, ever stop until you have found him. And then when you found him at one level, don't stop there — just keep pushing until you find him in another way. And then soon you'll look around at your life and you'll realize that, "One thing have I desired of the Lord" — Psalms 27 and 4 — "and that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and inquire in his temple." But the realization will be, is that your life is in order because you have sought him. Your home is in order, your life is blessed, your heart and mind will be filled with a peace that passes all understanding. And all you did was seek him. He is his perfect will for us.

In our opening text in Isaiah chapter 40 and verse 3, maybe your mind went to John the Baptist preparing the way of the Messiah. Reads, "The voice of him that cryeth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord and make straight in the desert a highway for our God." And John certainly fulfilled this prophecy in the New Testament. But I want to focus on an important theme that we see introduced in this passage, in a very important topic, and that is the theme of the wilderness.

Now understand that this prophecy wasn't given to my Bass Pro brethren and sister, and sister, and those who love being in the physical wilderness in your Bass Pro boats and your gun sheds and all those things. I just can't tell you I understand. I don't know — I've never been hunting, only been fishing a few times. Prophecy wasn't written to them. In biblical context, in biblical terms, the wilderness represents a place of abandonment. It represents a place of the feelings of being forsaken or lost, and, and more directly feeling lost from the presence and provisions of God. The biblical wilderness typeifies a place that lacks resources or direction, and most Old Testament passages that you see using the term wilderness will reflect this type of description. In short, no one, no one longs for the wilderness. No one longs for a place of isolation in a place where you can't seemingly see the promises of God. No one calls up their spiritual travel agent and says, "You know, life's just a little too good right now, and you know, I'm getting kind of tired of this milk and honey. If you don't mind, why don't you just schedule me a 10-month journey into the wilderness?" No one does that. No one wants to go there.

But you can rest assured, in God's economy and master plan, there are no wasted locations. There are no wasted moments, journeys or experiences in your life in God's economy. Say amen. The wilderness serves a purpose.

And so we move from this Old Testament theme of the wilderness, and I want to go to a New Testament example. The gospel writers are recording what we would refer to as the temptation of Jesus, and in this temptation of Jesus we see a very uncommon revelation of truth. We see something that almost appears to be a spiritual oxymoron, because no one wants to go into the wilderness, no one desires to go into the wilderness. But we see in Matthew chapter 4 and verse 1, it says, "Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil." And now to me this raises a few questions. It raises a

few questions that quite frankly I need answered. Why are we going into the wilderness, Holy Ghost? Why are you leading me into this path of the wilderness? The, the Spirit is supposed to lead us away from temptation, and then the Spirit is supposed to lead us into the promised land. So have you lost your way, Holy Ghost? How, you know — did you, did you misdirect this path of my life? What are we doing going into the wilderness? But there is a truth that some spiritual battles can only be fought and won in a wilderness. Oh, there are some things about the God that you and I serve that you're only going to learn, you're only going to find out, when you find yourself in a struggle in the wilderness. The wilderness is not always a bad place. Well, sure, it feels horrible — it feels horrible, and anybody who's been there, or anybody who's there right now, knows exactly what I'm talking about. But the wilderness is not all bad. It's not fun, it's not convenient, but listen: there are times in life where the wilderness can absolutely be a place that the will of God has led you to.

So I'm here to speak to someone at the onset of this message, under the sound of my voice, that feels like because you're in a wilderness you're outside the will of God. Let me tell you, that's not always the truth. Just because you can't feel him like you once felt him does not mean that you've journeyed outside of his will. It could be that he's led you there. He's led you into a wilderness. So you can shake off that condemnation from the enemy that says, "Because I can't feel him, I must be far from him." That couldn't be further from the truth. So if this path called the wilderness is a path that, that you and I must cross at some point, maybe we should further examine this story. Maybe we should see what type of purpose, what type of plan, that we can pull from this wilderness experience.

It's no surprise whatsoever that good old devil shows up in this place called the wilderness. Oh, and we know the story: he, he begins to tempt Jesus, he begins to speak lies and deceit to his mind, to try and deter his mission, to try and get Jesus to prove who he is. And boy, I can't stop there, but you have nothing to prove in your wilderness.

And the first temptation comes, and Jesus had been fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, and no doubt his flesh was the hungriest it had ever been. And I'm going to be real honest with you: I don't think it took much cunning or wisdom from Satan to look at Jesus and tell that he hadn't ate in 40 days. I don't think it took some type of knowledge or some type of special powers that Satan had. No, I think he just looked at Jesus and said, "You know, that fella looks hungry." And so he says, "You know, if you are the Son of God, if you are who the Father said you were back at the baptism, when the, the Dove came down and the voice spoke and said, 'This is my son and whom I'm well' — if you are that person, here's some stones; why don't you turn them into bread?" "And no, no, I know I can't do that, because it is written that man shall not live on bread alone, but every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

"Okay, you know some word, that's cool. I know some word too. You know, the word says concerning the Messiah that he's going to give his angels charge over you. You're going to have authority over these angels, so how about this: let's go up to this really high pinnacle — let's, let's go up somewhere high, and you just throw yourself off. You believe the word, I believe the word — let's try the word and see that it's true. You cast yourself off and, and we'll have a good old time proving the word of God together." And Jesus said, "Well, no, that's not going to quite work either, because it is written, don't tempt the Lord thy God."

And now both of those are great points, and they both could be preached in full — probably could be a series out of them. But I really want to focus today on this last temptation of the wilderness. You got to understand that it is now all coming down to this moment. The devil has tried — he's tried twice, and he's filled. And so now

it's all building up to this last temptation. And I'm sure the enemy knew his time was coming short, so he said, "I'm going to throw one more thing at him, and it's going to be the best that I've got. I'm saving my big guns for last. I'm losing this battle right now, but I'm going to get them with this one." And so we see in Matthew chapter 4, verses 8 and 9 — I'd like to read it together, starting in verse 8. Says: "Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory." Verse 9: "And he said to him, all these things I will give you if you will fall down and worship me."

Now we see, now it's been revealed why the enemy really showed up in the wilderness. Now we really see all of the cards out on the table, and we see that what the enemy is after is worship. What the enemy wants is worship. The wilderness experience, in the wilderness season of life — it, it tests many things, and there's, there's many truth that can be revealed in our life. But hear me this morning, that the most important factor of our life that is tested in any wilderness experience is our worship. What do you worship? Who do you worship? It will be revealed in a wilderness experience. And so to put it in the simplest of terms: the Lord and the devil both have an agenda for your wilderness. The Lord of our life and the enemy of your soul both have a desired result from the wilderness of any believer, and that desire is your worship.

And I feel the need to briefly explain this this morning, but worship is not just what we do on a Sunday morning while songs are playing. Worship is not just a moment of tears as the Spirit of God moves. Now, those things are worship, and they can be worshiped, but it is not the total sum of what worship is. Worship is a lifestyle of spirit and truth operating in your life on a day-to-day basis. Worship is a life of consecration unto God. It's a life of prayer, and it's a life of fasting, and it's a life of separation unto God. Worship is a daily decision that I will seek the face of the Lord, and nothing else will I seek. Worship is the lifestyle of an apostolic child of God. It's where we live — we live in worship. It's why you can be in the grocery store and feel the presence of God. It's why you can be in your car and feel the presence of God, because worship is not a place I go, it's who I am. It's worship. It's creating an opportunity at all times that his Spirit could flood me. Worship — it's not just a moment, it's a lifestyle. It's a life that you live. And oh, the devil hates a life that worships the Creator.

Now you see, that was those slew foot's purpose in heaven: he was the master worshiper, and he fell. He failed at his job. And so when his pride sees someone else succeeding in his job, it gets him all across — it gets him all upset — that when we live a life of worship, the glory of God is revealed in us, and we're a light, we're a brilliant light to this world. And we don't look the same — has nothing to do with the way we look; it has to do with what we're filled with and what's upon us. It's a lifestyle of worship. And so the devil is not just after your moments of worship on a Sunday morning in your wilderness experience; the devil is after your lifestyle of worship.

This is a truth that we see repeated over and over in the Bible. We see the story of Job, and Satan said, "I'll bring Job into the wilderness." God said, "You consider my servant Job." "Yeah, I'll take him into the wilderness." And Job said — you know what, as a matter of fact, "the only reason that Job worships you" — not just a moment, but Job lived a lifestyle of worship. You go read chapter one: he lived a life of worship and sacrifice. "I want to take that from him. And the only reason that he does that anyways is because of what you do for him. It's because of what you've given him. It's because of his bless — your blessings and provisions on his life." And so it must have been a great surprise to the devil when, after Job had everything stripped from him and was

catapulted into the wilderness, Job lifted his voice and said, in Job 1 and 21: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave and the Lord is taken away, but blessed — but blessed be the name of the Lord." "You're not going to strip my worship from me, devil. It has nothing to do about where I am."

Why would somebody give up and give the devil a bad day right now, and let him know: "I don't care where I'm at, I don't care what I'm facing — blessed be the name of the Lord." Come on, I'm telling you, God's wanting to do something in this place. Y'all gonna have to get with me this morning. Somebody needs to bless the name of the Lord right now. Somebody needs to think about your wilderness experience right now and say, "Blessed be the name of the Lord." Oh yes. I'm talking about wilderness worshipers. Isn't that good? I'm gonna get that on a pillow or something: "I'm a wilderness worshiper." Anytime the devil throws me into a wilderness and I can't sleep at night, I'm gonna get that pillow out and I'm gonna puff it up, and I'm gonna say, "I'm a wilderness worshiper, devil. I'm a wilderness worshiper. You got me all messed up in my mind, but what you're not going to do is take my worship. What you're not going to do is take my lifestyle of praise and sacrifice unto God. That's what you're not going to do. I'm a wilderness worshiper." Oh yes I am.

Well, I'm talking about those who haven't seen the promises yet: blessed be the name of the Lord. I'm talking about the ones who are facing struggles in your finances, in your job situations, you're still sick in your body — you've believed the promises, but you know what? Blessed be the name of the Lord. Those things don't move me. Blessed be the name of the Lord. And I'm talking about wilderness worship. I'm talking about praising the name of the Lord, not because of what you see, but because of who he is. And I've come to tell somebody: it doesn't matter what wilderness you ever find yourself in — if you've been purchased by the blood of the Lamb, if you've got the covenant name of Jesus Christ resting on your life, you've got enough reason to worship to carry you all the way through to the rapture.

So he's after your worship. I'll make it real complicated: he's after your worship.

So now I want to revisit our story, and let's see if we can pull another truth out of this passage. Let's see if we can find something else about this wilderness experience that we need to be concerned about. Let's go to Matthew chapter 4 and verse 8. Says: "Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory." He showed him — showed Jesus the kingdoms of the world, because he was after more than just Jesus bowing down in that moment. He was after more than just Jesus bowing down in that moment and saying, "I worship you, Satan." No — he showed him all the kingdoms of the world because he wanted Jesus to get entangled with all of the things of the world. Because worship is not just what you do in a moment; it's a life that you live. It's a kingdom that you live for. It's a purpose that you pursue. And that's what the devil was after: "Got all these kingdoms — I'll just give them to you if you'll just bow down and worship me."

But how does the devil convince a child of God to give him their worship? What does he do? What is his trick? Well, hear this: the devil is as smart as he is foolish. He is just as smart as he is foolish, because he played all of his cards to Jesus, and he should have known that Jesus was going to show us what was in his hand. And so how does the enemy of our souls convince — her — better yet, I'll say, deceive you and I to worship him in the wilderness? Hear me: when you are in a wilderness experience, the devil will present a false glory to you. The enemy will begin to present things that appear glorious that are simply anything but — a false glory. He will show you career opportunities that you didn't have before. "Well, I was living for God, and I was paying my tithes and my offer — I was doing — and man, I never got a promotion at work, but here I am, can't

feel God, and now I've got all these job opportunities and money being thrown at me. Just be careful. Be careful. He'll show you money in a different way than he has before. He'll throw illicit relationships at you, people you shouldn't have in your life. He'll throw entertainment at you. He will show you all of these things, and they are a false glory. And he'll always do it in a wilderness season. He'll look at you, and he'll present the lifestyles of the world, and he'll present that good old American dream, and he'll make it all look glorious — knowing that you are in a wilderness experience, knowing that you might not have seen or felt God in a while. And so he begins to pull at you with this false glory. And if we're not careful — oh, if we're not careful — the devil will get us pursuing a false glory in our spiritual wilderness. He'll cause us to stop seeking the face of God with all of our hearts, and, and we'll be okay just being an okay Christian.

And let me tell you something this morning: there is no such thing as an okay apostolic child of God. There's no such thing as an okay apostolic Pentecostal. It doesn't exist. Lukewarm is not a viable temperature setting for a child of God. We are either on fire or we are ice cold.

That was the story of the prodigal son. He stopped being satisfied with the provisions of the Father, and at some point he saw those four false glories over in the city. He saw those false glories that were outside of the farm, so he began to pursue those things. And to learn from the pot — the prodigal, when he gave everything that he had to pursue those things, he was left at the bottom, miserable, hopeless, because it was a false glory. There was nothing there to sustain him. He tried it all, he had it all, he ran with the lifestyles of the world, and what he ended up was at the bottom. And you know who was there? Nobody. Not even the devil. Just left alone, left to die.

And so we have to know this morning that there is nothing that the world has that can offer you life. If you get cancer in your body — hear me, I'm so thankful that we live in America, where we have the best health care in the world, and I am not just saying that. We are blessed, and I sincerely give thanks unto God for all of the medical treatment. But let me tell you: when they've done all they can do, they've done all they can do. But with God, all things are possible. And, and, and, and, and when all hell is breaking loose in your mind and in your life, the glory of the world will just pass you by. We'll just pass you by, because the world and the devil promises you a package it has no authority to deliver.

And so, in our spiritual wilderness, the worst thing we could do is offer worship to other things of this world in a pursuit of false glories. And hear me, and hear me in the Holy Ghost, and hear me in the love of the Father today. And I can preach about this because this is a place that I found myself. I was in a spiritual wilderness. I was in that place where I couldn't see, and I didn't know, and all of those things. And I began to be deceived by the false glories of this world. And, and I told myself — I said: "Taylor, you're going to go to church, you're going to be the best Christian there is, you're going to show up every Sunday, every Wednesday, you're going to pay your tithes — oh my Lord, I might even clean a bathroom — but as far as that ministry stuff goes, you ain't going to worry about that no more. That's just way too hard. It's just way too difficult. You're just going to find yourself burned out." And so when I was upset with the real glory, the enemy began to show me a false glory. And let me tell you something: that almost derailed my whole life, because I began to pursue something that God never intended for me.

You can't let your worship go wayward in the wilderness. You can't let your worship get out of place in the wilderness. Hear me, because God's reaching for somebody this morning: when you let your worship go wayward and out of place in the wilderness, you're going to take your part soul in this dry and barren land, and you're going to try

to drink from broken cisterns, when you were created to drink from the wells of living water. And it'll be a void that you'll never be able to feel, because there's nothing like — oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, taste and see — come and drink from this well of living water. I'll give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. It's light, it's easy. Foreign, I feel the Holy Ghost moving right now. I wish somebody would just begin to let some worship rise. I'm not done preaching yet, but I feel something trying to break in this place right now.

Lord, we're not going to let our worship go away. We're in the wilderness — oh no, God, I dedicate this whole life to you, God. I dedicate this body's soul and spirit unto you this morning. I'm not going to go wayward in my wilderness. Oh, I'm feeling the Holy Ghost — I'm filling the Holy Ghost right now.

Hear me: there's good news today, friend. I've not come, and the Lord has not come, to condemn anyone. God's not come to condemn anyone. Because you see, that is only one side of the coin. I'm really excited because I know where we're going. That is only one solution to the equation. So I want to look at the other side of the coin and the other answer to the equation. And you hear me right now: God is fixing to show up, and he is fixing to show out in this place. Are you all ready? Y'all ready this morning?

Let's go back to this prophecy in Isaiah — Isaiah chapter 40 and verse 3. It says: "The voice of him that cryeth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." The voice was of one in the wilderness, and his declaration was to continue to prepare for the Lord in the wilderness, to continue to make straight a highway for God. So it doesn't matter what your location is — your objective should not change. That's what this prophecy is saying: "My voice, my location, is in the wilderness, but I'm still going to make straight a highway for my God. I'm still going to bring a prepared life and a lifestyle of worship for my God, even though my location is in the wilderness."

And so let's read this passage as a whole. My brethren in the back — I'm so sorry, we're sistering, who's ever helping me out — I'm going to go verses three through five. We're just going to read it straight through; we're going to see this whole prophecy, total picture. Y'all ready? All right: "The voice of him that cryeth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make straight in the desert a highway for our God." Why? Verse 4: "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and heal shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough place is plain." Verse 5: "And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord have spoken it."

Oh, you're not hearing me. Why do I worship in my wilderness? Why do I worship in my wilderness? It's because if you worship in your wilderness, when God shows up, it'll be anything but one. When his glory is revealed in the wilderness, you're going to start seeing some landscapes change. You're going to start seeing some situations change. Oh, I wish somebody get on your feet and believe that this morning. I can't preach any louder than what I'm preaching. Someone needs to hear that, if you'll worship in the wilderness, God's fixing to do some things. God's glory is fixing to be revealed.

Hear me say: you are not serving a king that offers a false glory. No, you're not. You're not offering — you're not serving a king that offers empty promises. What he said, he is able to perform. The promises of God are yes and amen. "I can do what I said, because I've got the real glory." And the devil would love nothing more — the devil would love nothing more — you can be seated if you feel — the devil would love nothing more than to get us distracted by those false glories, because the enemy knows exactly what happens when the real glory shows up. Oh, the enemy knows exactly what happens. He gets a — actually, he's trembling right now. I feel all the hell trembling right now, because he knows what happens when the glory of the Lord begins to manifest among the people of God. Those things that he's been tormenting you with —

you let a little bit of glory be manifested in this place, and you'll see depression lift off your mind that you've been struggling with for 10 years. All we need is just a little manifestation of the glory. And somebody's been sick in their body — you've been sick in your body. Just let a little manifestation of the glory of the Lord show up in this place and see what happens. Oh, when we choose to say, "Blessed be the name of the Lord," his glory will be revealed. And when his glory is revealed, your wilderness becomes anything but — the enemies had someone all messed up in your wilderness, but I'm here to tell you in the Holy Ghost that you're going to begin to bring your lifestyle of worship back. You're going to begin to praise the name of the Lord from the places of your heart that you haven't reached into in a while. And you're going to begin to see a shift in your wilderness. You're going to begin to see valleys become exalted. You're going to begin to see mountains in your life and hills be made low. You're going to begin to see places that have looked crooked — they're going to start to shrink now before your eyes. Because when his glory is revealed — when his glory is revealed, bodies are healed, blinded eyes are open, deaf ears are hunts topped, people are filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. When his glory is revealed, hearts that are stagnant and have become cold will begin to feel the fire of the Lord burning in their hearts again. With his glory is revealed, we're snatched up out of the cares of this life where all we can think about is heaven.

When his glory is revealed — I want our worship team to come and begin to play, if they wouldn't mind. When his glory is revealed, we are catapulted from ordinary to the extraordinary. Oh, when we — when his glory is revealed, we are spiritually launched from the natural to the supernatural.

There's a passage in Isaiah, and this is why wilderness worship is so important: because you don't even realize what you're connecting to when you worship in the wilderness. You don't even realize the promises of God that are just rumbling and shaking in this Bible. When you begin to worship in your wilderness, it begins to pull, and it begins to fight in you, something you don't even know exists. When we worship in the wilderness, we join up with heaven — because Isaiah 6 and 3 says something. You all know what the angels are up there doing in heaven. They ain't barbecuing and they ain't fishing — I'm sorry, Southerners, they ain't up there doing that. The Bible says the angels are up there saying, "Holy, holy, holy — worship is the Lord of hosts." And then it says, "The whole earth is full of his glory."

I'm going to tell you what's fixing to happen in this place. This place is fixing to become so manifestic with the presence of God. Anybody who has a need, your need will be met this morning, in the name of Jesus. I'm not talking about a genie type of God. I'm talking about, you're not coming up here for a moment of worship — you're coming up here to say, "God, I'm committing this life of worship. God, you — I'm not going to get off my convictions, and I'm not going to get off what I believe. I'm not going to get off my church attendance in the wilderness. I'm not going to get off my Wednesday night Bible study attendance in the wilderness. I'm bringing it all to you this morning. I want my whole home to be full of his glory." Come on, I'm prophesying — somebody needs to join me right now. "I want to Center Point Youth Group to be full of his glory. I want Center Point Apostolic Church to be full of his glory." Oh come on, that's it — it's going to begin to manifest in this place. Come on down, come on. When his glory is revealed, depression and anxiety leave in the name of Jesus. When his glory is revealed, fear and doubt and illness leave in the name of Jesus. Come out — that's it, come on. We're going to give him more than just a moment of worship. We're going to commit a life of worship. We're going to commit everything we have to this King of Kings, who is the Lord of glory, the Lord of hosts, have strong and mighty in battle.
