I am a nosy person by natural inclination according to my wife but I tell her that I'm in the people business and I'm also gifted to read lips and that scares guests sometimes and when I go into restaurants I know who's behind me I know it's in front of me I know what they're talking about all around I have to because sometimes it's me they're talking about but I see a lot of things and some things I probably would be better off I hadn't seen But I read bumper stickers which sometimes can cause you to need to repent but I read one time that I think describes my life and maybe some of you will feel the same today it said I owe IO so off to work I go I stand before you today saying I owe IO so to my world I go I am a debtor to the grace of God I am a debtor to the mercy of God and I'm also a debtor to the kindness of the greatest group of people on Earth The Fellowship of the apostolics and I thank God for it today clap your hands if you know God's been good to you let me give you my target so that you will be more comfortable to assist me and good understanding gives favor I don't intend to take you into probably couldn't if I wanted to deep dark theological Mysteries my my portion in this meeting right now is to add inspiration to the information you've already received so turn around on somebody and say let's get a brand new touch of inspiration and I read to you out of Matthew chapter 18 and verse number 20. one verse of scripture so I'll ask each of you to read it aloud with me if you would Matthew chapter 18 and verse 20. ready for where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them does anybody know Jesus has been trying to tell us he's with us he's in US so to help me help you understand my message today would you do a little dramatization with me and would you say too or three one more time two or three I preach to you on the Miracle of more or less the miracle of more or less put your Bible down and give the Lord a great Ovation of praise His name is Worthy Hallelujah yes Lord and you may be seated I feel led to address and seek to inspire those Among Us that feel intimidated overwhelmed and totally inadequate to even imagine something Mighty from God for their church or their Ministry our Bishop brother Haney was extremely excited last night when those that were 40 and under were asked to approach the front Psalm 75 to 80 percent of this audience is under 40 years of age I would say to you it is evident the apostolic Ministry has a future however the place is jam-packed and overflowing but I would also speak to those that are not here today who by virtue of modern media will receive the message that I shall preach brother Manny and in my travels Across The Fellowship of the Apostolic Church I am amazed to find that there are those who do not come to because of the times simply because they are so low in passion and envision and in the capability of God to even help them that they feel everything that happens here soars Way Beyond them and there's absolutely no

use to come I will address today those who are suffering from the ache of 08. those of you who thought you would enjoy surge but had to endure a purge those of you that desired addition but had to deal with Dreadful subtraction those of you that dreamed of more but in reality you're here today with less you are my Target today because there are many Among Us that have been disqualifying themselves delaying themselves and denying the evident ability and willingness of God to do unprecedented things I wish today to remove your focus from yourself unto the one that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we may ask for even think I'm telling you you can Pastor a church you can't even imagine today you can see a Revival you can't even imagine today you can have a Ministry you can't even imagine today because our God is a mighty God a verse of scripture that has spoken so loudly to me of late is first John 2 and 2 when the Bible says he is the propitiation for our sins and not ours only but also the sins of the whole world let me tell you what that verse says to me it says Calvary purchased a greater Revival than we're enjoying Calvary purchased a larger Church than we're pastoring Aubry purchase more miracles than we're seeing Calvary purchased the more powerful Ministry than I am producing it's time to move out of your ability and move into calvary's ability I bring to you today more then a security blanket More Than A Chorus of encouragement but rather a powerful principle I believe in the power of biblical principles which will work anywhere and they will work for anybody this powerful principle can release your faith it can release your activity of vision there are too many paralytic Pentecostals there are too many in invalid and invid Ministers of the Gospel people who are sick and tired of suffering the reluctance of moving forward in the presence of God hear me when I tell you it's time to quit crying in your Starbucks it's time to quit sucking your thumb it's time to quit licking your wounds it's time to cancel the pity party turn around if somebody say get over it get off shout get over it one of our daughter worked pastors brother Gerald Blake has a grandson [name redacted] who's about five at this time and he [name redacted] was visiting with his grandfather and they were in the church office playing and having fun talking before church started so the boy's grandmother was afraid that maybe they got so carried away and then they forgot it was church time so she came by the office and she said hey it's time for church [name redacted] walked by his death his grandfather's big desk is a little guy five years old they told me the story he passed by the the desk and he slapped it and he said come on Poppy let's do this thing I wish some of you would clap your hands and say come on now let's do this thing

it's time to get on your feet and let's do this thing let's do this thing called Revival let's do this thing called City shaking let's do this thing called worldwide Revival it's time to do this thing I have along with most of you alluded to and preached in numeral times from the simple but powerful text that I read to you and for years I focused on the name that if they're gathered together in its name that he would be in the midst of them thank God for the advantage we have of being people of the name contrary to what the most famous woman in America said the name of name is the symbol the name of Jesus has all power under Heaven and Earth there's virtue in that name there's victory in that name there's violence in that name don't ever minimize the power of the name all right and then I saw in the scripture the nature that was described there I came to understand it for years we misquoted that verse I couldn't tell you how many times it was used as a security blanket on a low attendance Sunday when nobody was there and the church was low in attendance the pastor would say let's all remember that where two or three are gathered in his name and that's the way they quoted and they left out a powerful point he didn't say where two or three are gathered in his name he said they got to be gathered together it's possible to be gathered and be scattered but when you're gathered to that's the power of the Apostolic Church there's not 500 different beliefs here today there's not a thousand different ideas everybody here believes Jesus is caught that acts 2 38 is the Plan of Salvation that without Holiness know that it shall see the Lord and that he's worthy of praise so I preached the name so I'd preach the nature but then I got a brand new revelation it is very rare if ever anywhere else in the scripture that God gave us and either or when God said if two are three now I don't know about you but I felt an extreme relief come over me I felt an amazing release because I saw a side of the savior that I had not seen when he said three is the goal three is the objective but if you can't get three I'll still come if you can get to if you do your best but you can't get three I'm not gonna boycott you meeting if you'll just get two there give me two or give me three it doesn't matter to God I'll still show up and while I was praying this morning God gave me this and so to preach the way my wife has trained me

when God gives you the new stuff you must leave the old out so in prayer this morning the Lord took me to the story of the treasure in the field and the Bible said when he saw that treasure and he wanted he sold all he had and bought it my point is he didn't borrow he didn't steal but all he had was enough if you will just give it all you got you got enough to have the treasured revive you've got enough to have the treasured Ministry you've got enough to Pastor the treasure Church if you'll just give all you've got turn into somebody say all you got is just enough you don't need what Anthony mangan's got you don't need what Brian kills this guy you don't need what Tom Foster's got you don't need what Jim lumpkin's got what you've got is enough if you give it all you've got enough when I got the simple revelation it freed my spiritual imagination it freed my motivation it fueled my passion I preached to you there is no magic number for Revival there is no pot of gold at the end of a fictitious rainbow there is no unattainable equation for Revival if two is the best you can do God said I'll still show up the thing that's holding some of you to these pews and to your knees in frustration and desolation is because you say I can never be what somebody else is I can never do what somebody else does I want to free you today to the truth you don't have to be hear me when I tell you there is a plague in the apostolic movement it is a plague of self-induced requirement of perfection prosperity and plenty in order to see God work it's an anxiety of exaggerated inflated exactness do you understand what I'm saying that you feel like until you get there it can't happen but that is non-biblical and it's not demanded by God let me tell you about the Ethiopian Crusade let me tell you about the Ethiopian eunuch I read it this morning noticed something I thought it might help me grasp your attention the Ethiopian unit was a man of great Authority Under Kim dacey notice this line who had the charge of her treasure God knew where that Mighty Revival was God knew where that incredible influence was available but all he said to Philip was go toward the South Which Way South from here God did not I believe it God did not give him a secret code of Revival God did not give him a manual that thick that if you read that and follow that exactly he didn't have to go through a maze God said there's a mighty move and to have it all you got to do is go

toward thank you just go to work I want to tell you today Revival is not a destination Revival is a Direction when the prodigal started home when the prodigal started home The Prodigal was walking but because he was going the right direction the father came running and while he was a yet Great Wheel he wasn't anywhere near but God said if you'll just start the right direction if you'll just start the right direction I'll get to you before you get home start praying more start fasting more start praising more start evangelizing Lord and the father will follow you foreign the apostolic youthful Ministry ensnared in stressing stretching training groaning groping gasping for something or to be somebody somewhere in a fantasy land you hear me when I tell you today it's nice but you don't have to have a multi-million dollar complex to have Revival it's nice you don't have to be one of Pentecost renowned greatest preachers to have Revival you don't have to have a choir of 200 voices to have Revival you don't have to have a secretary an assistant pastor or a staff of 50. to everybody God said if you've got three outcome but if you'll get two I'll still show up what I'm trying to say is get up on your feet today and say there's nothing to stop me there's nothing to stop me and I want to tell you what because of the times has meant to me what it's meant to me is sister Mangan saying when I was 28 years old and a lot skinnier you can do it Wayne you can do and do it Wayne and when I came to the cause of the times ministers all around me you you can do what the elders had brother Teddy said you can do it and this is what brought the Revival to Raleigh I was crazy enough to believe it I still believe he can do it with three he's been doing with two you don't have to have a Nashville band the governor doesn't have to be your buddy it's good if he is for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by a few I wish somebody say three or two three or two if it doesn't matter to God why are you sweating over it

if it doesn't matter to God why are you sitting there saying if we could if we would if we did if we had and the devil fans all that but I'm giving you a Bible principle that says the majority has not nor ever shall rule with God Our God has never required demanded or enjoyed working in the luxury of perfection majority or physical advantage now I know what people mean when they say it they're trying to be kind I could say to brother Mooney brother Paul Mooney a giant Among Us brother Megan a giant I'm honest brother keys by the way a giant amongst all these a giant Among Us but if you read your Bible God never had a giant on his side I feel like doing something I saw a guy do in Ohio I was preaching to camp meeting years ago great big guy was leading the choir you talk about dramatic brother he was a one-man show I shall never forget the way that guy led the choir and one time the choir hit a great crescendo and this is what he did he walked over to the side of the platform and he went like this it was like now say something else to me what he was saying is and we're here Brothers this is it we have a ride God has never wanted Giants God has never needed Giants he seemed to get great joy and delight and I'm taking the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and the weak things of the world to compound the body and face things and things which are not I'm going to answer a question you've you've prayed and you've stood up and said you've declared it to be a question in your life never have been able to understand and I'm going to give you the Revelation today you stand up and you say I don't know why God showed me I'm not brilliant I'm not talented I'm not in a line of pedigree I'm not skillful did it ever Dawn on you that's why he said I want to build a church through you that when people come to visit they gonna know you can do this I'm going to give a Revival through you that when people hear about it they're going to know how I did it they're going to know you could not have ever done that hear me when I tell you it's time to get tired of seeing what we can do it's time to let God do what he can do I wish somebody jump up and shout I can do this thing hey let me introduce you to something before I do it when I was young more athletic more in shape I would run these out but I have ordained a new revelation of worship in Rye this is an over 50 trip around the church I don't know how far you can run but somebody needs to run these houses Chef I can do this thing

I can do this thing I can grab your wife's hand and shall we can do this thing how about some of you young preachers jumping on that aisle and Shout I can do this thing through the blood of Jesus I can do this thing through the name of Jesus I can do this thing by the word of God I can't do this thing because of the times we'll be a dynamic success if you can leave here saying I can do this thing stand up just a minute I may quit I may not I'll give you hope and say I probably will I can do it I just don't know if y'all yeah delete from the pages when the Bible said things which are not is what God chose and then I read Genesis 5 24. one of the things that qualified Enoch to jump the ditch of death that those that preceded him had fallen into was not all together what he was but what he was not the Bible said in five and 24 of Genesis he was not and God took him it ain't all together what you are that inspires God it ain't all together what you bring to the table that turns God's head your attention it's a whole lot of what you're not that makes God want to work in your life mightily madly you don't have to have a mansion it can happen in a mud hut you don't have to have hundreds you can have three or two and God said I will be in the middle in the middle in the middle in the middle God's in the middle of your subtraction God's in the middle of your decrease God's in the middle of your split turn out of somebody so you do this thing I gotta convince somebody today you can do this thing you can win souls you can be on a church you can't see Miracles you can't buy property you can't see I'm gonna lose if I would have been God I would have canceled the day of Pentecost foreign because the Bible said fire if I say above 500. we're told to be there

but about 120. if I'd have been gone I'd have said poor scheduling tennis is too low we got more out and we got here but the Bible said I can do that Bring It On I got some brothers in my church and they're teaching me how to preach I wish somebody would say yeah I wish somebody said we're gonna take it on up I wish somebody say we can do this thing the Bible carefully said there was above 500. the Bible carefully said there was about 120. God said I don't want to be specific God said I don't want to be detailed they'll be idiots thinking you gotta have 500. they'll be idiots thinking you can't have church unless you have 120. God said I want you to know he can be above and it can be about but and it costs full okay fall we came when there was more Health than there was present don't let your crowd dictate your message don't let your crowd dictate your worship go into crafting take your faith he can do it with greed he can do it I want somebody shot yeah I can't do this thing one more little point that's my Jeep there's no time to change Jesus Bible said there was a little woman she was diseased with an issue a blood brothers and sisters it's no time to get disease with an issue foreign she was worn out she was wearing she knew that virtue was in him but I heard me she couldn't get the him all she could touch was ATM if you can't touch him ATM will do Jesus said who touched my clothes the disciples said she in the multitudes wrong with thee sayeth thou who touched me ATM to Jesus was as good as him if that's all you got if that's all you got and I wondered about that until I preached this thought out west and a rabbi priest came up to me after church brother Woodward and he said do you know why she was healed I said I think you got a better idea than I do

because Malachi 4 and 2 says but unto you that fear my name shall the son of righteousness arise with healing in his wings and the Hebrew definition of wings is border or him she said I don't have to touch him it's in 18. I just gotta give it my best and Jesus said virtue has gone out of me she never made it for three but two was enough turn around somebody say you may never get to three but two is enough two is enough two is enough we got everything we need to shake our world we got everything we need to empathize we've got everything we need to shake our why would somebody get out of the aisle that I'm gonna do this thing lay your hand on somebody and say you can do this buddy you can see miracles thank you
