Online Revival with Adrian Sanford

praise the Lord in the body hope you're doing well this evening thank you to brother sister carpenter also brother and sister Harrison for allowing me to have this opportunity to share the word of the Lord with you for the next few moments understand we are living in some unchartered waters trying to navigate through this but I'm thankful for technology such as this that we're still able to be able to connect outside the box that were used to and I'm just thankful to be able to share the next few moments with you in the word of the Lord judges chapter 1 if you have your Bibles judges chapter 1 verse number 1 through verse number 7 I take consolation in the fact that we may not be in our local assembly we may not be able to gather together we are accustomed to doing but I reminded of the words that Paul told Timothy when he said God's Word is not bound and so regardless of where we may be in our living rooms dining rooms offices watching in our bedroom on our iPhone iPad I take consolation in the fact that God's Word is not bound and it's just as effective and it's just as powerful where we are right now as it is when we come together in our churches and so I believe God's working minister to us for the next few moments so again thank you for this invitation thank you to if I see a miracle and all your leadership all the ministries are there it is an honor to be with you this evening also would like to say to my fellow evangelists who's also trying to navigate through these this unchartered territory that we're in my prayers have been with you and your families believing that God has taken care of you and he's going to continue to do so judges chapter 1 and begin with verse number 1 it will go through verse number 7 the Bible says now after the death of Joshua came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord saying who shall go up for a against the chaos first to fight against them and the Lord said you two shall go up behold I have delivered the land into his hand and Judah said unto see me and his brother come up with me into my light that we may fight against the chaos and I likewise will go at the end to the light so Simeon went with him and Judah went up and the Lord delivered the Canaanites and the perizzites into their hand and they slew of them in Bizet ten thousand men and they found at an opposite in Bezique and they fought against him and they slew the Canaanites and the perizzites but at an opposite the king of this city the Bible says he fled and they speaking of Judah and Simeon they pursued after him and they called him then the Bible says something very interesting it says they cut off his stones and his great toes and verse number seven is what we need to pay attention to because the Bible says there not an opposite this King this just had his thumbs and toes cut off looks back at the two men responsible and says threescore and ten Kings or 70 Kings having their thumbs and their toes cut off gathered their meat under my table as I have done so God hath requited me and they brought into Jerusalem and there he died for the next few moments that we have together this evening I would like to minister to you I'd like to talk to you from the subject assassination by mutilation assassination by mutilation the Old Testament is a very new unique covenant it is comprised of 39 books 929 chapters twenty-three thousand two hundred and fourteen verses and over five hundred there everything ninety-three thousand plus words the New Testament consists of 27 books two hundred and sixty chapters seven thousand nine hundred and fifty nine verses and over one hundred and eighty one thousand plus words and while these two come both Fiat and flow perfectly together the truth is if you begin to compare how things were done in the old testament to how they were done in the new testament more times than not it's my opinion that these two Testaments couldn't see more opposite than the other the old testament when you begin to look at it very closely it can at times be cruel and ruthless because it has said it is a covenant that is so full of violence and gore that it will leave the casual reader scratching their head because it is a covenant that's so in-your-face and it offers little to no apologies but everything takes a turn when the New Testament comes along because this is a covenant that is about love and showing compassion it's where we read of such things as love your neighbor has yourself forgive your brother seventy times seven turned the other cheek and the list goes on and on but understand with me this evening that in the days of the Old Testament it was literally an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth because in the days of that first covenant it was a time of war it was a time of much blood was shed on various battlegrounds and in those days mutilation was a very common concept in ancient warfare in fact in those days mutilation was so common that some of these acts find themselves woven in the fabric of Old Testament scripture I would remind us that the Bible speaks of a day when the Philistines had captured Samson and it lets us know that they pluck out the eyes of this man named Santana I would remind us of a day when the Bible tells us of a man by the name of Nahash who had counts himself against jabish Gilead and the Bible says that the people come begging to make a covenant with him that would spare their life and Nate ash agrees only on one condition and that is they allow him to plug or to rip out their right eye it was David who receives the news that is Michelle but one of Saul's four sons have been killed so in retaliation David takes the two men responsible for this boy's death and he commands his men to cut off their hands and to cut off their feet and follow that up by hanging their bodies in the trees over the pool of Hebron so we must understand from the outset of the sermon this evening and that he has mutilation with something that their Old Testament Minds were very accustomed to but it's in my opinion that the most interesting act of mutilation can be found in the text that we read this evening we pick up in judges chapter 1 where the Bible tells us that Joshua has now died and the Israel finds themselves standing in a very precarious place they find themselves questioning wondering petitioning the Lord who's going to stand in the gap and fight on our behalf now we understand Moses was the man that led them out of Egypt navigating them through the wilderness for those forty years and then Joshua comes along and picks up the mantle but now the Bible tells us Moses has died and now Joshua has died and Israel finds themself in that place wondering who's going to be the next man who's going to stand in the gap and fight on our behalf and the Bible says that the Lord quickly responds to the nation of Israel by telling the umma that Judah shall go up and fight on your behalf and so when Judah receives the news we read that he goes to his brother Simeon and recruits him to fight side-by-side with Thelma because he says if you'll fight with me and my lot then I'll return the favor and I'll fight with you in your light so the Bible tells us that these two brothers are Judah and Simeon go walking into enemy territory they go walking into a city called Bezique and it's in this city where they begin to fight against the Canaanites and the perizzites and the Lord begins to give them a great victory and in this city of Bezique because ten thousand men fall at the edge of their sword but this is where the story really begins to get interesting in my opinion at least because while in this battle in the city of Bozek they discovered the king of that city a man by the name of adenine bazooka and once this king begins to survey the defeat that he's in the midst of he begins to flee from the battle and so Judah and Simeon begin to chase after the king and once they catch the king the Bible says that they chase him up they capture him in Vienna it says something very interesting that caught my attention some time ago because it says after they capture this mana they cut off his thumbs and they cut off his toes and lying there bleeding from his hands and bleeding from his feet this king this man doesn't look at these two brothers and cry out for revenge or retribution but he looks at these two men who have just mutilated his hands and feet and says what you've done to me is justified because over time I myself captured seventy Kings and I mutilated their hands and I mutilated their feet and I placed them under my table of authority in other words this King was saying that I took their thumbs and I took their toes and just like you've done to me now while you and I sit here in this 21st century mind center and we read this and we look at this as some heinous inhumane act of violence the truth is this simply wasn't the case if you lived in their day in fact if you lived in the days of the Old Testament you would have thought twice about this because that's how common a mutilation was now we're going to go somewhere I promise you they tell me that when you begin to dig deeper in to ancient warfare and how all these things begin to play out and transpire they tell me that when Kings would invade neighboring cities or territories after the war had been won many times after they had pillaged and plundered through the spoils of the war they would take the prisoners of war but instead of killing the POWs they would simply mutilate their hands and they would mutilate their feet in fact I have read the ultimate punishment a soldier could receive and the ultimate shame a soldier could feel was in fact having their thumbs and their toes mutilated to add insult to injury after they had done this after they had mutilated your hands and feet they would release you as a free man understand they've done this because they no longer viewed you as a valuable threat to their kingdom up somehow Kings are realized that we don't have to kill the POWs we will just mutilate their hands and we'll mutilate their feet because in essence by doing this I am eliminating their ability to pose a threat to me and to my kingdom and if we were to walk down the halls of history more than seeing the casualties of war as they litter a battlefield we would seem in with bandaged hands and bandaged feet two men who once fall to me and who once served men who once had a purpose and a place in their army but now because of being mutilated they have been rendered useless because we understand from the natural perspective that if you have no thumbs you cannot hold a sword if you have no toes you cannot walk much less fight and so this becomes the common practice throughout the lands you simply become an ex-soldier now handicapped ax now ineffective now unable to do what you once were able to do even though you were still alive even though you were still breathing and you had been assassinated because of mutilation and I understand what you're thinking right about now is we're probably ten minutes into the sermon tonight what does mutilated thumbs and mutilated toes have to do with us this evening what does this have to do with the church the hour that we're living in what exactly is that spiritual concept that we can take from this story well when you begin to study the Old Testament you would be quick to realize that thumbs and toes are mentioned elsewhere in that first covenant it is in the Book of Leviticus chapter 14 where we see the inauguration of Aaron and his sons as they enter into the priesthood as God prepares that office for the ulna and it's in the 14th chapter of Leviticus where we read that the oil that is in his hand shall the priests put upon the thumb of his right hand and upon his great toe of his right foot understand with me right now that it's symbolic but God's anointing now flows within and without the priesthood it simply meant that God's power resided within the office of the priest and it was the right thumb and the right toe that was anointed we are well aware that in Scripture the right side always represents power and authority and the anointing was placed on the right side of the body of the priest and we in the church tonight of you aware that the anointing is one of the most powerful and authority of elements that we have access to in God's economy so understanding that could it be that by Adonai Bizet that kinga by cutting off the thumbs and the toes of those seventy Kings could it be symbolic of what Hale desires to do to the church at this hour could it be that the very thing that the enemy desires to eliminate from the church is the very thing that flowed down the body of those Old Testament priests if I've come to learn anything about him if the devil hates anything about the apostolic church he hates the anointing that flows every time we come together and every time we have services and so I believe it's become the very thing that Hale desires to mutilator Hale wants to cut off the anointing because the anointing has always made the difference Hale wants to assassinate and eliminate the elements of the church that God's anointing has touched and impacted there's one thing LA's if there's one thing I believe he'll wants to eliminate it is that anointing it is in the book of Exodus chapter 14 where God begins to speak to Moses and God gives Moses a very important command he says Moses I want you to take the oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything very Anna so Moses takes this oil and he anoints the altar and he then anoint the vessels and then the laborer understand Moses takes this oil in his hand and he begins to walk throughout the tabernacle sprinkling the anointing on every piece of furniture inside the house of God and hear me tonight ladies and gentlemen that the same anointing that God placed in his house then in Exodus chapter 40 is the same anointing that we need in God's house in 2020 if the anointing touched everything in the tabernacle Vienna it must touch everything in the house of God today can I tell us our pews must be anointed our platforms have to be anointed our altars and need to be anointed if the anointing touched God's house Vienna if Moses are noted everything within and without we must have that same anointing flowing up within and without the church today I find it interesting that if you continue to read in Exodus chapter or the book of Exodus after Moses anoints the tabernacle within and without it says then after he anointed the house of God it says Moses reared up the tabernacle it's almost like God was saying what's in my house will be useless unless it's anointing can I tell us our beautiful buildings and the beautiful furnishings with inside of those buildings that will be irrelevant if the anointing has not been sprinkled within and without listen I'm thankful that God has blessed our movement with beautiful buildings we've got some of the most beautiful property anybody can ever Walter we've got the greatest things inside it without but hear my heartbeat tonight if God's anointing had to touch the tabernacle Vienna it must touch the house of God today because everything will be irrelevant regardless of how big our churches are regardless of how beautiful they are regardless of how much God has blessed us with that if the anointing is not flowing within and without it will be irrelevant and of no effect so my prayer tonight is this give us that same anointing that flowed in Exodus chapter 49 we don't need some watered-down gimmicky version but that same anointing to float in Exodus 40 is the same anointing we need in 2020 if there's a need that exists it is the Ennead for that original anointing that Moses placed in the house of God and I believe because of that hill is after every element of the church within and without that's been anointed can I tell everybody that may be watching regardless if you're from another church or you're from FAC can I tell everybody that may be watching a hail does not want the anointing to flow in the house of God can I tell us hell doesn't want anointed preaching and he doesn't want I'm going it singing and he doesn't want anointed worship he doesn't want to know that prayers being prayed he doesn't want an annoying move of the Holy Ghost in the altar call he wants to cut off that anointing because it is the anointing that has always made the difference Hale wants to assassinate the anointing because hell is smart enough to know that everything changes when the anointing begins to flow take it a step further I've read that this King this man by the name of Adonai opposite his name literally means Lord of lightning and I've read commentaries that refer to this king as an Old Testament type of the devil himself we have types and shadows throughout the Old Testament according to Jesus but it's interesting to note that this king is also a type of the devil himself because his name means Lord of lightning and they point to the Old Testament when the we read of Jesus his words himself when he says behold I watched I beheld Satan fall as lightning and so I believe this king was symbolic what he'll want to do to the Apostolic Church in this hour he is after the anointing that God has left his church to operate in Anna the devil hates the anointing because he once was anointed before he fell we understand that his name before it was called Satan or to become adversarial his name was Lucifer or the son of mourning uh he was the Light Bearer in heaven he was perfect in every way from his intelligence to his physical appearance he was second only to God himself we have Michael the Archangel Gabriel the messenger and at this time we have Lucifer whom the Bible also calls the anointed cherub that covereth that it's interesting to note that Lucifer is the only angel in your Bible that's called anointed neither Gabriel nor Michael will ever called anointed but Lucifer the devil now that hates the church that hates God and everything about his kingdom he once was anointed he once walked in this anointing but we understand how the story ends a pride it is the picture and God ribs that anointing all fathima and so I believe that's why the devil despises the anointing like he does because he once had it he once felt it he once lived in it and walked in it and the devil understands how there's nothing like the anointing he does not want the Apostolic Church to walk in the anointing that he lost that's why he wants to assassinate it by cutting it off when Jesus appears in the New Testament he's referred to as many things in some places he's called the Son of God which simply means the manifestation of God in flesh other places he's called the Son of Man our Lord but there is another title given to him more than others and it's one that we are so familiar with in the church that I'm afraid we have lost the true revelation that God wants us to see it's the title Christ and I'm afraid we missed the revelation because Christ is so often used in conjunction with Jesus that we think it's just his last name but hear me tonight Christ was not his last name but nor was it his secondary name if we were speaking in those terms he would have been called Jesus Bart Josefa or Jesus son of Joseph but aren't you thankful you understand that Jesus wasn't the son of an earthly father Jesus was his name given to Joseph by the angel but Christ is his then given as an affirmation he is who he says he is a understand Christ is the no testament name that stems from the word Messiah and it literally means a The Anointed One and so when we say Jesus Christ we're not saying God's first and last name we are saying Jesus Christ Jesus The Anointed One it's why when he's born there's wise men to bring gold frankincense and myrrh very interesting gifts to bring a baby in a manger if you were to ask me but not until you begin to look deeper into it until you begin to realize why they brought this to him because myrrh was a substance that was used in the making of this oil and I believe when they brought it to Jesus at his birth it was a prophetic foreshadowing of the anointing that he was later going to walk in and it's why we read of how Mary Magdalena when she breaks into the house of Lazarus and interrupts the dinner she begins to bow at the feet of Jesus and anoints his feet with that anointing because he was about to Walt him that anointing it's why when Jesus begins his ministry he quotes the prophet Isaiah by making the powerful declaration by saying that the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor healed the brokenhearted preach deliverance to the captives were covering sight to the blind to set at liberty them that are bruised up understand he was not just Jesus Christ it's not God's first and last we minimize of the effect when we look at it from that perspective but understand he was Jesus Christ he was Jesus The Anointed One it was literally the anointing had come down from heaven to the earth Lucifer once was anointed but God takes that anointing up and says the anointing you did not walk to I want to put it on myself and I'm gonna bring it to the earth and I'm gonna release it among my people and that's why everywhere Jesus went to the supernatural followed blood and eyes were opened up lepers were cleansed up the dead were raised and demons were sent fleeing because when this anointing gets loose and this anointing begins to flow when it comes down to where we are the supernatural miracle signs and wonders are always a byproduct of when the anointing gets loose he was Jesus Christ he was Jesus The Anointed One Lucifer once had it but then he lost it and I believe ever since that moment he lost he's become an assassin of that anointing can I tell every Apostolic Church you may be watching every individual who may be watching this evening a hail does not want you or your church to walk in the anointing that he losta this is why we read when Jesus is born in Matthew's Gospel you can read it for yourself but Herod hears the news that this king of the Jews is about to be born and it's amazing what comes out of the mouths of Herod because Herod makes the declaration and says I want you to tell me where the Christ will be laid it's amazing to know that hearing it a pall of Hill is the first men in your Bible to refer to Jesus as the Christ he's the first one to call Jesus The Anointed One maybe there were people that didn't understand why everybody was causing such an uproar about this King of the Jews being born but could it be Herod had a little more insight than everybody else because he says I want you to tell me where the Christ will be laid to tell me where that anointing is going to be at and maybe this is why we now understand why he gives the message I want you to kill every male child two years and under understand the prerogative of hearing he was trying to kill the anointing at an infant stage he was trying to kill that boy who was one day gonna walk him that anointing because here it understood there's an anointing that has come from heaven down to this earth and if I don't kill the anointing now I dated down the road I will not be able to handle it listen to me here it was not afraid nor intimidated by some two-year old baby in a manger he was afraid of a 30 year old Jesus who was gonna walk in the fulfillment of that anointing up and that's why he was willing to cause a genocide he was willing to eliminate a generation if that minute I can kill the one person that has brought that anointing to this earth he was intimidated by that anointed one and he tried to kill it when it was still in an infant stage and cannot make an I may be talking to people this listening to this live webcast right now there may be anointings inside of you that you're not even aware of there may be giftings and talents inside of you but it would blow your body if you can see what God wills to do with your tomorrow down the road and maybe that's why Hill has been attacking you and your family maybe that's why Hill has been attacking your home because Hill sees an anointing inside of you that you may not see yourself could there be some infant raw anointings a better inside of us that have not been developed yet that hasn't been cultivated yet but that's why he'll is fighting and that's why he'll is attacking because sometimes maybe he'll can see the anointing that's in my life before I ever recognize that the anointing is there maybe that's why he'll is attack of the Apostolic Church and trying to shut the doors and trying to stop us from coming together because he understands how once the doors are open back up and once we're able to be unified as a body there's a greater anointing that's about to flow to the Apostolic race than we've ever seen before or listen or yesterday yes is full of anointings up all right now is full of anointings but tomorrow I believe there's a greater unknown ting that God wants the church to wall Tina and that's why Hale is trying to kill it now because he's not afraid of where we be enough he's not afraid of where we are he's afraid of the anointing that we are about to step into that's why here it tried to kill every male child two years and under he was trying to find the anointing before it ever grew up he was trying to find that anointing before it ever matured into the purpose of why it came could it be held and even the devil sees anointings before I ever walked into it because he's trying to eliminate it before it ever grows into something greater care me tonight the anointing huh has been left for the church but it's also been left for those inside the church and I'm talking to people right now I Hale doesn't want you to walk at that anointing I Hale doesn't want you to operate in that anointing I Hale doesn't want you to flow in that anointing yes we've been anointed before we are anointed today but don't ever draw a line in the same thing this is the best God has for us Noah there is a greater anointing in our tomorrow and that's why hell is attacking the church and that's why Hale is fighting those inside the church because there just could be a greater anointing in our tomorrow and that's why he'll is doing his best to eliminate and cut it off it's amazing that when you begin to look at Lucifer before he failed said my opinion that Lucifer was an Old Testament priest before there ever was an Old Testament priest Ezekiel 28 the Prophet in chapter 28 begins to tell us and give us a little insight about Lucifer before he fell every precious stone the Bible says was upon him understand when God created Lucifer he placed every precious stone on Lucifer the sardius topaz in the Dom and the burro the onyx the Jazz for the sapphire the aim of the carbuncle in the golden these were the stones that God placed on Lucifer because he was the Light Bearer when God's glory was shot through the heavens because God is light and Lucifer had these jewels he would reflect the light of God he would reflect the holiness of god this is what Lucifer had according to Ezekiel 28 but compare what Lucifer had to what the Old Testament priest had because in the book of Exodus it gives us insight to what the priest would later be required to wear before the altar of the Lord because it tells us not only did Lucifer have stones but the Old Testament priests or stones as well there was a breastplate that these priests had to put on and contain within this breastplate were the same stones that God first aid to Lucifer but when you begin to compare in contrast to what Lucifer first had to what the priest then received yes they got the same stones but they also received two extra stones that Lucifer never received and there's much debate and discussion on what those two stones represent and meaning and for the sake of time we're not going to delve into that but in my opinion in my understanding this is how I want to look at it from a simplistic perspective it's almost like God was telling the priest I'm going to give you what I first gave to Lucifer but not only am I going to give you what Lucifer first had I'm gonna give you more than what he ever experienced and maybe that's why the devil hates the anointing like he does because not only do we now have the anointing that he lost but we now have more anointing that than he ever experienced we give those same stones that Lucifer lost that's why the New Testament calls us a royal priesthood it is my opinion that those physical stones the Old Testament priests had to put whole is deposited inside of every one of us in the spirit when we get the Holy Ghost everything they wore in the Old Testament God pauses inside of us in the spirit when the Holy Ghost comes it lives inside of us and that's why the devil despises it and he despises every individual that walks in it's a because we are now in possession of the anointing that he once had and if anybody knows the power and the authority of the anointing it traced it all the way back to the first person the first entity the first thing that ever walked in it every person that's listening to me I believe has an anointing in their life when we get the Holy Ghost I believe there's a god-given anointing that is deposited inside of us the moment we get the Holy Ghost and then it's up to us to find out what that anointing is and where we plug into the body of Christ listen it doesn't matter what our last name is or where we come from it doesn't matter if we're a 10th generation apostolic or we're a first generation apostolic if you've got the Holy Ghost and if you're a part of God's church and Kingdom then there is an anointing that God has put inside of your life listen you don't have to be a preacher to be anointed you don't have to sing on the platform to be anointed you don't have to teach a Sunday School class to be anointed you may never hold a microphone a day in your life you may never step foot on the platform you may never hold a position of leadership but some of the most powerful people I've ever met - never done those things but there's a god-given anointing that God placed in their life and they found out what that was we can look at Paul's writings to the Corinthian church and we can take an encouragement from those words when Paul writes to Corinth and says it is God who establishes us and who has anointed us and has put a seal on us notice the terminology that Paul uses that he's including the entire Church of Corinth he says God has anointed us he's put a seal on us he has established us telling me that it doesn't matter your preacher or not Sunday school teacher or not if you've got the Holy Ghost there is a god-given anointing inside of you it's not God's desire for the anointing to stop at the pews or the platform of our church he wants that anointing to believe beyond the platform into the pews of our congregation I believe God has an anointing for every person to walk in and once that day comes when we realize I'm anointed and I'm more than somebody that just goes to church two or three times a week I'm more than just somebody that pays my ties and do those things that we're supposed to pay ties we're supposed to be faithful but don't just stop there don't live your life unfulfilled just taking up space on a pilla God has something that he wants you to do God has an anointing for every individual and the day we realize I'm anointed the day that we realize I've got a place and I've got a purpose that's the moment Hale begins to attack maybe some of you right now or wondering why have I been fighting like I've been fighting them why I've been under an attack like I've been babies because there's anointings inside of you that you don't even see yet but maybe Hale sees the potential of the anointing God has placed in your life and he's trying to kill that anointing while it's still at an infant stage what exactly is this anointing and I've got to bring this to a conclusion as quickly as I can what exactly is this anointing the origin of anointing comes from all things the practice of Shepherds lice and insects would often get into the wall of the sheep and once they got near the sheep's head they would burrow into the sheep's ears and ultimately kill the sheep so Shepherds come up with the idea let's pour oil on the head a machine and in doing so the wool becomes slippery and impossible for insects to get near their ears and because of this they would slide off and the Sheep would be unharmed and from this the anointing becomes symbolic of blessings protection and empowerment in biblical times we understand people who are anointed it to signify God's blessing or calling on their life in ancient Israel when someone was given a position of authority or just called by God oil was always poured first on their head and then it flowed downward to signify their calling you understand this the anointing has always started at the head and then flows to the body the oil has a divine flow it always flows downward not upward it starts at the head and then moves to the body we read of Samuel when the Bible says he goes to Jesse's house to anoint the next man to be kingdom he takes the horn of oil and pours it on the head of David and David reminisces on this and rots in the 23rd psalm but that one oint is my head with oil it's why when Aaron was anointing to become a priest the Bible says the anointing flowed down his beard onto his garments because the anointing has a divine flow it starts at the head and then moves to the body and it's not an accident nor is it a coincidence but Paul picks up on this ax and begins to refer to the church as the body of Christ that we are the body of the Anointed One Jesus is the head of the church and since the anointing starts at the head it starts with the ulna but because the oil has a divine flow and it doesn't stay where it is it starts with Jesus the head of the church but then it flows down the body which is us the church the congregation and understand with me because God wants his anointing to flow from where he is down to where we are that's why hail attacks the church like he does he understands I cannot attack the head the last time I've done that he picked me out of heaven so I'll target the body I'll target the church the body of the Anointed One I will try to cause divisions and I'll try to cause chaos I will try to cause all kind of you know because the ultimate desire of the adversary is to disrupt the flow of the anointing Heil understands if I can cut off the flow somewhere from the head before it gets to the body then the supernatural is eliminated miracle signs and wonders are no longer possible if they can cut off the anointing from getting to where we are everything else becomes irrelevant that's why Heil attacks the body like he does it's interesting that it tells us go back to Leviticus 14 or those priests were anointing it's interesting that the thumbs and the toes of that priest were the things that were anointed it it was his body that was anointed and we as the body of Christ or anat are being targeted by an assassin of that anointed it's amazing that that King that Judas sent me and mutilated looks back at them and says what you've done to me is the same thing that I've done to 70 other Kings because he tells them I cut off their thumbs and their toes as well 70 Kings he done this to not common men not merely soldiers because Kings do not waste their time on soldiers but Kings always target Kings understand he mutilated those 70 Kings that posed a threat to his kingdom and maybe that's why the anointing or the devil attacks the anointing like he does because hell has always fought the hardest whom he fears the most we've always heard the greater the attack they're going to be anointing I believe the greater the anointing the greater the attack though if you're under an attack right now if your church is an under spiritual attack if you're under a spiritual attack don't think you're doing something wrong but look at it as an affirmation if the devil's spending time and energy on me and my family in my church let that be an affirmation that I must be doing something right because hail always fights the hardest to me fears the most it seemed very clearly in Acts chapter 12 we read that Herod the Bible says head back certain of the church now if that verse said that Herod attacked in vex the church then that gives me the understanding to hell attacks every Church hell attacks every individual in our churches but the Bible says here at vexed certain of the church could that be that hail only attacks those in our local assemblies that wants to be anointed could it be hail does it pay anybody attention that has no desire to be anointed that host has no desire to be used of God and make a difference could that be that there's some churches hell will not look at twice because he's not intimidated by us if we don't desire that anointing to flow because the Bible said here it vexed certain of the church that's why he had killed James the brother of John and he's going to kill Peter after Easter because Herod and the Spirit of Hell has always targeted those certain individuals those certain churches that won't be anointing more than anything else and maybe that's why he'll just come against the Apostolic Church maybe that's why he'll is coming against us in our families because he sees there's an organization there's a group of people that have come to the understanding I have to have the anointing more than anything else I can't have churches normal without the anointing I'll tell you what he'll desires to do more than anything else he wants to handicap the Apostolic Church he wants to assassinate that anointing he wants to spiritually mutilate the body of Christ he wants us to come together with bandaged hands and banged his feet listen I'm convinced just as at an opposite allowed them 70 Kings to live he mutilated their hands he mutilated their feet but he allowed them to live because the Bible says after he mutilated them he placed him under his table of authority listen I'm convinced hell we'll let us come to church and have our services Heil will let us have our prayer meetings and our revival services he'll let us preach he'll let us sing as long as he can eliminate the one thing that makes the difference Heil will let us live as long as he can mutilate us as long as he can cut away that one thing that makes the difference he'll let us preach our sermons he'll let us sing our songs he'll let us come together two three times a week when our eight doors are back open as long as he can remove the one thing that makes the difference because the truth is without that anointing we are no different from the religious world we are no different from the denominators always separated the Apostolic Church I believe has been the anointing that flows in our services because our talent charisma and ability does not intimidate Heil our churches and our beautiful buildings do not intimidate Heil maybe that's why God told Moses before you rear up my Tabernacle before you set my house in motion and it begins to be operating or an operation you first half anoint to anoint it you first have to unlearn my priests you have to touch everything within and without the anointing because without the anointing we're just a social gathering without the anointing we just come together and we just go through the motions that's what Hale wants to assassinate that's what he wants to cut away from the Apostolic Church farce kuroneko's chapter 27 and I close with this first Khurana Coast chapter 27 verses 25 through 34 within those ten verses we read of a list of officers who served in David's Court along with the duties that they were responsible to carry out you can take the time to read through those ten verses and see all the men the things that they were over the things as they were respond to carry out but in verse number 28 we are introduced to a man by the name of joash his responsibility was not flashy nor was it one that caught everybody's attention yes joash served David but he done so in a dark damp deserted cellar you see joash had one responsibility the Bible says he was they keeper of the cellars and contained within those cellars was the oil supply for the nation of Israel understand it was joash his job and his responsibility to protect those cellars at all costs because there were thieves and there were men that opposed Israel who would do their best to try to rob and steal the oil within those cellars you see the more oil you had in those days the more value you had I've read that the sellers of oil that the nation of Israel contained and that joash was responsible for would be equivalent to our Fort Knox because the more oil you had the more power you had the more value you had and there were enemies of the Israel who wanted to try to steal and eliminate that anointing or that oil supply you see if there was no oil the entire nation of Israel would be crippled if there was no oil there could be no meat offerings if there was no oil there could be no trespass offerings if there was no oil there would be no pleasing of lepers there would be no anointing for the priesthood there would be no bread on the table if the oil was stolen and lost if the oil would be eliminated the tabernacle could not function properly and even the lights would not stay on in the house of God in other words if the oil would have been eliminated the economy of Israel had been crippled and the tabernacle wouldn't become of no effect and there was one man who had the daunting responsibility to protect and preserve the sellers of oil for the nation of Israel it's amazing that the name joash this man that protected the oil supply it's amazing that his name literally means the fire of Jehovah and listen there's gonna come a day when our doors are opened again and there's gonna come a day when we're able to gather together with our brothers and sisters on a local assembly and congregation there's gonna come a day and I pray it's not too far away when we're able to join together as a collective body but what we need I believe in this last hour are some Joe ashes because if we want the fire of Jehovah to fall there must be some Joe ashes who are willing to protect and preserve the anointing at all costs ladies and gentlemen if they see a miracle anybody else who may be watching there is an assassin who wants to eliminate the anointing God has left his church to operate in and there must be some Joe ashes in this last hour to stand up and say you know what it may not be prestigious I may not be out in front of everybody nobody may Pat me on the back and sing my praises but behind closed doors I'm willing to fight for the anointing because there's gonna come a time when we come back together and more than talent more than ability more than charisma we have to have the anointing to flow because the anointing is what makes the difference the annuity is what brings the supernatural and miracle signs and wonders in provision and right now wherever you may be you may be in your office you may be in your living room dining room you may be in a bedroom watching on your iPhone your iPad but I wonder where you are I wonder if you could just lift your hands right now and I'm telling you this anointing that I've talked about for the last 45 minutes can begin to flow right now where you are that anointing could begin to bleed through your stream and it could begin to touch and move administer in your home in your life right now come on if you need a healing in your body if you need prayers answered if you need the livery since you need the Holy Ghost whatever you need why don't you pray and call for that anointing to flow right now because more than anything else I believe we must have some Joe ashes who are willing to protect the oil supply the nation of Israel god bless you this evening why don't we just continue to pray for the next few moments let's just allow the Holy Ghost to move and minister where we are
