I appreciate that about them and just honored and thankful to be in the presence of the Lord and uh thankful for what God is going to do uh here tonight why don't you turn your Bibles to Philippians chapter number four and we will begin reading amen I apologize to you wrong scripture let's go to job job chapter number 27 and we will begin reading at verse number 16 job 27 verse 16 so thankful for the presence of the Lord that was here this morning and I believe that God has a word for us tonight and uh if we will just open our heart and just receive it now uh I just got to tell you I'm liable to get a little bit excited tonight and uh you're like well that's kind of per part of the course for you brother amen but I I I feel like the lord has laid this on my heart today and I'm excited and so here's the thing if you preach with me we will be here for for uh 15 and I'm saying that right now and and and we're going to be here for an hour I'm going to preach for an hour but I promise you amen if you'll get with me tonight we'll be here for a little bit and then we'll go and I don't know what your plans are tonight go out to eat get a get a bite to eat with your family I don't know but I can make you this promise if we get with it tonight we won't be here too long because I feel like the Lord wants to do something in this place tonight I would just be okay if God just took over this entire service tonight that will be all right with me amen amen so uh let's just see what the Lord will do tonight amen amen Job chapter 27 and verse 16 very interesting passage of scripture job here is speaking of the wicked he's speaking of what their plight would be he's speaking of what their inheritance would be as wicked people but here's the thing about this passage of scripture I don't believe that job is merely talking about the wicked but I believe also job is talking about Satan himself because we know that every evil every evil thing every evil desire intention can be traced back to Satan himself now I know we can do wrong all by ourselves I know that we're human beings and we don't need anybody else but I think we can have a a a proof of this precedent in the garden Eve and and and Adam were doing just fine but it was the serpent that ultimately caused them to kind of tip over the edge and we find in scripture Jesus is talking to the Pharisees and he says you are of your father Satan right what is Jesus saying to the Pharisees he's saying I know the evil motives and intentions of your heart I know where I can trace the roots of this back to I can trace it back to Satan himself wicked and evil things can be traced back to Satan so I believe job when he's speaking here is not only speaking of merely the wicked I believe job is speaking of Satan himself listen to what job says in Job chapter 27 16 and 17 he says though he Heap up silver as the dust and prepare reignment as the clay he may prepare it but the just someone say the just but the just shall put it on and the innocent shall divide the silver job says here's what I need you to understand about the wicked he can make preparations he can set things up he can organize things so that he can win he said you can Heap up silver as it does just and you can prepare rment and we know what rment is in the Bible is clothing he says you can prepare what you think that you're going to wear but the wicked I I got to let you know something you may prepare it you may think that it's for you you may think that you're the one that is going to wear it but here's what you need to understand in the end the just shall put it on I want to preach for the next few moments on this title Hells hand me- Downs Hells hand me- Downs now some of you are looking at me weird right now that's okay just give me about 15 or 20 minutes and I promise you I'm going to make it make sense tonight amen I believe that the Lord is going to move in a miraculous way I believe somebody's faith is going to be built tonight I believe that somebody's hope uh is going to be built tonight come on if you believe that one more time why don't you lift your hands and pray together shall we God we thank you for your presence thank you for your spirit that has moved already in this room now God I pray in Jesus name that you would Inspire and uplift and build our faith today through your preached word let it bring forth fruit God for that's its purpose and that's it's intent Lord uh let no flesh glory in your presence but may your name receive the glory and the honor and the praise in this place in Jesus name somebody say in Jesus name amen one more time time clap your hands unto the Lord and give him praise in this [Music] place amen thank you so much for standing for the reading of the word you may be seated it was dark and it was cold the pungent scent of every soil Soul saturated the atmosphere a place where snakes slithered in the shadows and sunry spiders spun their webs with without interruption it was not a place he thought that he would ever be but nonetheless a place where Joseph the dreamer did dwell in the dungeon but his fortunes did not remain dismal Forever The Darkness was eventually Shattered by God's light and that light lifted him out of the dungeon and into Pharaoh's palace here they removed the rags afforded him in his former state and place on him the Royal Robes of a king Joseph son of Jacob now the king of the land of Egypt giving way to an Era of peace and prosperity a promise fulfilled a famine frustrated a family now free however in Exodus chapter number one that peaceful and prosperous era seems but a faint memory for the Bible Bible tells us that there arose a Pharaoh in Egypt who knew not Joseph this Pharaoh stripped Israel of their garments of prosperity and places on them the rags of a slave no doubt Rags reminiscent to those their father Joseph wor in that dungeon wherein he once dwell why do you ask why did they inflict this severe penalty on the children of Israel can I tell you it was not because they threatened him it was not because they attacked Pharaoh it was not because a secret plot to overtake their kingdom was uncovered no there is no such thing that is ever mentioned in the scriptures but the reason for Pharaoh's exercise wrath upon the children of Israel is contained in Exodus chapter number one 1 and verse 9 wherein Pharaoh says behold the children of Israel are more and mightier than we can I stop here tonight uh on the way to my point uh to remind everyone of this simple but all forgotten Truth uh that the enemy does not afflict you because you are weak the enemy does not attack you because because you're simply frail hell does not Target the delicate decrepit or debilitated no can I tell you the reason all of hell has been fighting you uh is because the enemy knows uh you are more and you are mightier than him and if you ever wake up to your potential his kingdom will come down I've just come to preach to somebody and remind you of this truth today that hell fights what hell fears I've come to preach to somebody who's been struggling and remind you today that the reason you've been fighting is because the devil is scared he knows who you are you think the enemy sees vulnerability uh you think he sees weakness uh you think the enemy is fighting because he senses imminent Victory no can I tell you the reason you're fighting uh it's because hell is scared uh it's terrified of your potential uh it's petrified of your prayers uh hell knows the hand of God is on your life uh come on I've come to preach to some young person today and tell you it's time to call hell's Bluff uh devil uh you know who I am and you are scared come on you know the hand of God that is on my life uh and you're scared uh but I've come to tell uh every devil in hell if a fight is what you want uh a fight is what you're going to get uh because I know who I am I'm more than a conqueror through him who loves me uh come on somebody I've just come to remind you of who you are today come on you're the head and not the tail you're above and not beneath you're the lender not the bar of hell knows who you are and hell is scared I've just come to tell somebody tonight you are more and you are mightier than you think you are oh the enemy's fighting me right now because he knows he's going to win the enemy is fighting my family because he knows he's going to be victorious can I tell you it's the exact opposite the enemy knows that if they just wake up to their potential uh he's not going to be able to rule and reign in their life any longer the enemy knows if they just wake up and and be reminded of who they are he's not going to be able to run their lives uh can I just tell somebody in this room uh if you'll ever realize who you are there's going to be a fresh outpouring uh of dominion and victory that you will walk in in your life come on somebody you're a child of the most high God uh you are a child of the king you're a royal priesthood uh you're a holy nation uh you've been brought out of Darkness uh Into His Marvelous Light uh huah turn to your neighbor and tell them you're more and you're mightier you're more and you're mightier Bible lets us know that although they were mightier and although they were more that Pharaoh was still able to clothe them in rags put them to force labor and make them slaves in Egypt offer this question how how did this happen if they truly were mightier and more how was it that Pharaoh was able to make them less how is it then that the feeble can conquer the Fearsome how does the lowly overtake the lofty how is it that the weak Egyptians subdue the powerful children of Israel I'll tell you how it's because Israel did not know who they were and when you do not know who you are you give the enemy the power to dictate who you will become you think they would have willingly taken beatings had they known who they were you think they would have willingly plotted around in those Rags if they known they had the power to change it uh what mother in her right mind uh would willingly allow some impostor to snatch her newborn baby from her grip had she really realize she had the power to change it no but when you don't know who you are you give the enemy the power to dictate who you will become uh but I believe today uh that there are some people and in particular some young people that can say on a Baptist School Sunday night I know who I am uh and I know who I am young people I just want to preach to you today uh you better know who you are you better realize that you're not just average you're not just ordinary uh but the hand of God is on your I've come to preach to somebody in this room uh and tell you the reason you've been going through some stuff is because you don't know who you are the reason the enemy's been working uh in your life is because you don't know who you are but I'm praying in this room that there will be an Awakening uh in every Spirit to knowing again who you are can I tell you uh the same power that ra Jesus from the dead uh it dwells uh on the inside of you uh you're not average uh you're not ordinary you're not just some runof-the-mill individual but can I tell you the power of God is working inside of you come on is there anybody that knows who they are tonight come on is there anybody that can testify I know who I am I know who I am I'm not going to let the world tell me who I am I know who I I am I'm not going to let Society tell me who I am I know who I [Music] am you say brother James how do people get sucked in a false Doctrine how do people allow for their lives to be constantly weighed down in bondage and weighed down in slavery and and slave slave to sin and slave to to slave to addictions can I tell you how how that happens it's because people don't know who they are it's because Generations don't know who they are and when you don't know who you are the enemy will tell you who you are but can I tell somebody in this room today if there is a young man that could ever wake up uh to the potential that is on the inside of you uh do you know you have the ability right now uh to set your entire world on fire for the glory of God uh but you got to wake up and realize who you are I'm preer to some young lady right now I know you feel intimidated I know you feel like it's not your personal I can't really lay hands on the sick and see somebody recover I can't really go out and preach this truth yes you can because you got to know who you are come on yes you can the power of God is on the inside of you yes you can see Revival yes you can be used of God but you got to realize who you are the Bible lets us know that Israel the nation of Israel they do not know who they are and because they don't know who they are the enemy gets to tell them who they are that's the problem young people with society when you don't know who you are Society gets to tell you who you are when you do not know who you are influen influencers on Tik Tok get to tell you who you are when you don't know who you are influencers on Instagram get to tell you who you are can I C can I just say this I don't want somebody I don't want some influencer on Tik Tock telling me who I am that's the problem with some of you they've told you that you'll always be depressed and you'll always be this and you'll always be that and and they've told you lies about who you are but I've come to tell some young person I've come to tell mom I've come to tell some dad uh I'm not going to listen to what the world says about me uh I'm going to listen to what this book says about me come on this book says I'm more than a conqueror through him who loves me this book says come on somebody you need to wake up and realize who you are today uh you need to wake up and realize that the hand of God is on your [Applause] life when you you don't know who you are the enemy can tell you what you're going to become he exercises control over you the reality is the reality was Pharaoh really didn't have any power other than what he spoke over them the moment that Israel woke up to who they were the moment that there was a sobriety that overcame their mind they realized who they were they could have taken over the entire Kingdom but because they did not know who they were Pharaoh tells them this is who you're going to be the Bible says and although they don't know who they are Pharaoh knows and Pharaoh says here's what we got to do we got to deal with these people wisely he says we we we got to come up with a we got to come up with a special plan for them we cannot just simply go through the motions we we have to deal with them wisely see this plan to make them slaves was not devised on a whim they consulted with one another they deliberated over it they carefully considered what they do they devised an intentional plan to invoke evil upon the children of Israel it was intentional it was meant for them drawn up for them and attack Ed up in the boardroom of the palace just for them but here's the thing about our God our God is in the business of taking the evil that was meant to destroy us and using it to bless us that Joseph that man who traded Royal Rags who traded Rags for Royal robes said it this way as for you you meant it evil against me uh but God meant it for good can I tell somebody in this room there are some things that hell would try to use to destroy you there's a plan that the enemy would try to use to take our lives uh but can I tell you uh although Satan has a plan uh although Satan has a purpose uh I've come to tell you we serve a God uh that is able to turn that thing around uh for are good I just come to preach to somebody in this room and preach that the devil thought he was was going to take your life uh but God turned that thing around the devil thought he was going to take your family but God turn I need about five people that can testify today uh brother James I've been there I've been with my back against the wall I've had no hope in this world but God came through for me uh come on I've been in a car wreck that should have taken my life uh but God came through for me uh I've had a bad diagnosis from the doctor that should come on somebody but God uh came through for me uh come on the enemy meant it for evil uh my adversary meant it for evil but God uh but God uh I got a testimony in this room that God uh he turned it around for my good oh I need somebody right now to just testify of the goodness of God come on I need a few people in this room that can testify God Did It For Me uh and if he did it for me uh he can do it for you uh if he turned my family around uh he can turn your family around uh if he turned my life around he could turn your that's the type of God that I serve that's the type of God that we serve y'all remember that story I think I preached about it last time that I was here that story of Esther and mor Ki and noning in the Jews and the Bible says that that that that non or rather not not non that that Mori rather a hmon rather has come up with a plan to take out the Jews he's come up with a plan to destroy every Jew in the land and the Bible says as he's come up with this plan that he goes into the king's courts and he begins to have this this audience with the Queen Esther but on his way out the door he finds Moray there at the king's Gates and he's still coming to the king's gate still making his petition made known unto God can I tell you there is nothing more that makes the enemy upset than when a child of God even when your back is against the wall even when there's a even when there's an attack on your family attack on your life uh still coming into the house of God still making up your mind I'm going to be found in the presence of God and the Bible says that hmon gets mad hmon gets angry and know you know what the Bible says the Bible says that hmon devises a plan very similar to what very similar to what Pharaoh did hmon says if we do not deal with this wisely if we do not deal with this man more to KI wisely he can disrupt everything that we have going because here's the thing about Mori Mori knew who he was and because Baya knew who he was hmon could not tell him who he was going to become Moray says I know what you've said but I've made up my mind I will not believe what you say I've made up my mind I will believe the report of the Lord and we have a promise from God that our seed is going to be uh as the sand of the seashore that our we got a divide promise and inheritance from God and you may think this thing is over you may think this thing is done with uh but I know who I am uh I know who I am Mora knew who he was and anytime that you know who you are the enemy starts coming up with plans to deal with you so hmon says man this guy knows who he is so I gotta come up with a plan to take him out I gotta come up with a plan I gotta deal with Mort Ki wisely this guy right now this this guy's a loose cannon If he if he gets loose then then then the entire nation of Israel will realize who they are and it's over so the Bible says that he comes up with a plan and you know the story the Bible says he comes up with a plan to hang Mori on The Gallows he comes up with a deliberate plan it is intentional it is purposeful he plans this master plan to take out mori's life but we know the end of the story come on what the enemy meant for evil God turned that thing around for good what the en meant to destroy him God turned it around and the same Gallos That morei was supposed to hang on the Bible let's just know that hmon hangs on those same Gallows I've just come to preach to somebody when you know who you are your enemy will be defeated uh when you know who you are can I tell you there is no weapon uh that will form against you uh that will be able to prosper I'm preaching to a young person right now come on realize who you are and when you realize who you are enemy cannot exercise power over you but we hear this preached about a lot this is something that we hear a lot we hear it preached often how God is able to take the evil that was meant for us and turn it for our good how God is able to take the things that were meant to destroy us and turn that for our good we preach about it we get excited about it we shout we dance we run about God that about the God that is able to take the evil that was meant for us that was deliberately aimed at us how God is able to take that and turn it for our good and I'm thankful for that I am so appreciative for that type of God but can I tell you something that we often don't hear preached about a lot and this is what I want to hone in on for the next few moments we not only serve a god that is able to take the evil that was meant for us and turn that around for our good but we also serve the god that is able to take the good that was never meant for us we also serve a God that's able to take the good that was never meant for us and turn that back around toward us to bless us the Bible says it this way in Job chapter number 27 our scripture text job says here's what you need to understand about the wicked they can Heap up silver as the dust they can prepare rment as the clay job says you guys can prepare all of this stuff that you think is for you you can have a master plan not to invoke evil upon people but to send good your way you could come up with your master plan you can come up with everything that you think uh is going to work for you but here's what you need to understand about how God works uh God is Not only able to take the evil that was meant for you and redirect it toward you and bless you but God is able to take the good that was never meant for you and turn that towards you job said you may prepare it but in the end the just are going to be the ones that are going to wear it and we find this in our story that we've been following along with today the Bible lets us know that God speaks to Moses and says Moses I'm getting ready to bring the children of Israel out of bondage Moses I'm getting ready to do something like I've never done before you've been Afflicted long enough but Moses I've used that Affliction to build hold you into who you are I've used that Affliction to make you stronger every time they put a stripe on your back you got stronger it was meant to destroy you but you got stronger it was meant to take you out but you got better it was meant to ruin your life but every time uh you got into trouble I made you better but Moses on your way out the door I got to teach you one more thing about who I am I got to teach you one more thing about how I'm able to work in your life Moses I not only the god that's able to take what was meant for evil and turn it for your good but Moses I'm also the god that's able to give you access to the good that was never meant for you and Moses on your way out the door here's what I need you to do uh I need you to go to the house of every single Egyptian I need you to go to the house of every single person that once Afflicted you uh I want you to go to the house of every single person that told you how worthless you were uh I want you to go to the house of every single person that told you you'll never amount to anything uh and I want you to go in their doors uh and I want you to March into their closets and I want you to snatch every single piece of clothing that they have because job said it best they may prepare it they may get it all together they may for years think that is for them but little did they know it was never meant for them little did they know it was never prepared for them uh little did they know that God was setting this entire thing up uh so that one day the children of Israel could walk in and say you may have prepared itth but now uh it's time for me to wear itth you may have prepared it uh but I've come to tell you it's mine uh it belongs to me I know that you thought it was for you but the just are getting ready to put it on can I tell you you say brother James what are you preaching about I'm going to you're kind of being ambiguous right now I'm going to be pointed here in a second but I've just come to tell somebody in this room there are some things that God has for you that hell seemingly has prepared for itself there are some things that the enemy has had his claws on for a long time and you think that the enemy has prepared it for him and he'll always have access to it and he'll always wear itth and it'll always be for I've come to tell you today he may prepare itth but in the end the just are going to be the ones that are going to wear it uh we're getting ready to walk into some things that we've never walked into before I know I'm messing with some of your theology right now let me tell you God is so great and God is so powerful that he literally can employ Satan to do his bidding God is so great and God is so powerful that he can employ Satan himself thinking that he's doing something to propel his kingdom thinking he's doing something to propel his agenda but God's saying go ahead do what you think you want to do I just got to REM in the end uh in the end you're not going to be the ones that's going to wear itth in the end uh the just are going to be the ones that will wear it yall remember the story of Ki and Esther and hmon that we just referenced the Bible says before hmon hangs on The Gallows a very interesting thing happens the Bible says one day the king cannot go to sleep he is restless he's Restless he's tossing he's turning finally he gets up I can't go to sleep I'm Restless ah bring me the book of Good Deeds that have been done in my kingdom maybe that'll Soothe My Mind goes and he gets the book of Deeds Done to done in his kingdom and he begins to thumb through the pages of that great book and all of a sudden a interesting story catches his eye that he's never really noticed before that story is the story of a interesting Israelite an interesting Jew by the name of Mora and he reads that this Jew Mori uncovers a secret plot to take his life but not only does he uncover it he puts it to a stop and consequently the King's life is saved because of this Jew Mori this strikes a a a a cord in the heart of that King and he says what has been done to honor such a great man in My Kingdom he said 'oh King nothing nothing has been done to to honor this man and about that time oh hymon comes waling into the king's courts and and he comes up and I I can imagine you just you just got to imagine with me my imagination is a little bit crazy sometimes I can just imagine hmon starts walking into the king's courts and the King looks he says hmon is that you he said oh King yes it is you know I'm always here when you need me oh King here I am at your service he said men h men you do you always come at just the right time he said I I I needed some advice you came at just the right time he said I was I was flipping through some things I was thinking about some things and and I had this thought what should I do to honor such a great man in my kingdom and the Bible says you know the story hmon thinks to himself he must be talking about me he must be who else would he be talking about Bishop he he must be I'm the greatest in the Kingdom uh I'm the one that's always doing these wonderful awesome things he must be talking about me and so hmon right there in the king's courts begins to prepare something that he thinks is for him he says oh King this is what I would do he said if I were honoring a man that is so great in your kingdom here's what I would do I would take the Royal robe you know the one that I really like you know the one the purple one with the GH fash oh yes that one king I would take that and I would put it on his shoulders and I would take the crown you know the one that I really like the one that has the green emeralds on it I would take that one and I would put it on his head and I would take a donkey and I would put him on that donkey and I would parade him throughout the city so that all could know that hen is the greatest in the world King looks back at him that hymon what are you talking about he's said wait wait a minute you're not you're not talking about me O King no I'm not talking about you he said well who else could you be talking he said I'm talking about Mori the Jew little did hmon know he was preparing something that he thought that he was going to wear he was getting something together that he thought was going to propel his agenda he was getting something together that he thought was going to propel his name uh throughout all the Earth uh but hey man I've got a word for you you may prepare it you may get it all together you may prepare your rment as the dust uh but in the end uh the just are going to be the ones that are going to wear it the king turns around and says hmon you've lost your mind matter of fact here's what I want you to do I want you to go and I want you to put it on Mortal Ki hey that's the type of God that we serve he can literally cause for the adversary who prepare things for his kingdom uh to go and put things on uh the people of God like we've never had before to give us access to things that we've never had before can I tell you he may prepare it but in the end uh the just are going to be the ones that are going to wear it say brother James what are you preaching about here's what I feel and the Holy Ghost there are things in this day and age you say how in the world are we going to see the end time Revival and harvest that was preached about and prophesied about in the scripture I'll tell you exactly how God is going to begin to do things that are unprecedented like we've never seen before there are things that God is going to use that are absolutely going to blow our there are things that the enemy has has had his claws on for decades uh there are things that the enemy has had his claws on for years and years and years and it seems as if hell is wearing those things uh but I've come to preach to somebody hell may prepare itth he may get it all together uh he may think that it's for him but in the end the just are the ones that are going to put it on you say brother James how does this pertain to this back to school Sunday I'll tell you exactly how today here's what I believe I believe the public school system I believe the education system in general has been something that the enemy has hijacked for years and years and years I know my Educators in the room can say an amen to that there is pressure that you are feeling there there are things that you're having to deal with that you've never dealt with to all of our our students that perhaps go to public school you know what it's like to walk into a public school and immediately be attacked and here's the thing about the enemy of our soul hell has prepared this thing the education system brother Anthony it's his it's his thing he's prepared this thing he's gotten it all together it was designed for him it was made for him it was the good that was meant to propel his kingdom and his agenda but I've come to preach to somebody he may have prepared itth but devil I've got a word for you today you may prepared it uh but it's about time that the just uh start putting it on uh can I tell you where the greatest Revival is going to happen uh in North America it's going to happen uh at our high school campuses uh it's going to happen at our college campuses come on devil you may have prepared it I know you thought this thing was for you I know your thing I know you thought this was to indoctrinate people but I've come to tell somebody the greatest Revival the greatest Harvest come on I need about five people that would believe that we're going to see I need an educator that would say I believe we're going to see Revival I believe I believe we're going to see the hand of God move at our college campuses uh I believe we're going to see the hand come on you are not there by accident uh you are not there by m happen stand snow the hand of God is on your life uh and God has divinely positioned you uh to put some things on Hell thought it was for him uh hell thought he were hell thought he would wear it but you may prepare rment as clay you may get it all together you may fashion it you may form it I may not have anything thing to do with it but in the end the just are going to put it on in the end the just are going to wear it I'm coming to a close I want you to stand here's the thing I want you to imagine I want you to imagine when God speaks to the nation of Israel says Israel before you walk out the door before you cross the Red Sea I want you to go and I want you to put some things on I want you to imagine how much courage it took to sometimes we we read the scripture and we're like oh yeah man they I could have done that I could have marched into the home of the Egyptians and snatched all their clothing I I don't think we understand this was Generations generation upon generation of slavery this was generation upon generation of being in bondage being told how worthless they were being told how they'll never amount to anything you're a Jew ah you you guys are the worst you guys are I mean generation after generation you guys are you you'll never amount to anything and and they would whip them and they would beat them but God speaks to them and says to go into their house the ones that have beat you up the ones that have spit on you the ones that have taken the lives of your innocent babies going to their homes do you know how much courage and boldness it took to do that oh it took a lot of Courage it took a lot of faith that's where some of you are at right now you're like okay brother James I hear what you're saying you're saying God has some things for me uh but but but the problem that I have I is is is is is thinking that step the problem that I have is I don't think I have the boldness to March into some places and some territories where I've been told my entire life that I do not belong and that I'll never have Victory and I'll never amount to anything uh can I tell you it's a tough place to be in uh to get up enough faith and courage to March uh into the very place that told you you'll never be anything uh but I can imagine out of out of nowhere some young man gets a revelation some young man gets a boldness that comes over him as he remembers who he is and he begins to talk about the promises that have been made to his there's a promise that was made uh to Our Father Abraham uh that our that our seed would be as the sand of the seashore that God would make of us a great nation he begins to realize who he is he begins to realize the hand of God that is on his life uh and when he realizes who he is uh he begins to March uh into the home uh and he begins to snatch some things because here's the thing it may it may be meant for you God can have it ready for you but if you don't ever make a decision to put it on what good is it God can here's the thing God has some things set up for some people in this room God has some things aligned for people in this room but the choice is yours are you going to put it on young people God has a Revival and a harvest at your schools God has a Revival and harvest for people that that that you are coming in contact with but can I tell you uh if you never make a decision to put on what God is is preparing for you uh if you never make a decision to put it on you'll never see it but you know what I'm praying for tonight uh I'm praying for a holy boldness uh to get a hold of you uh I'm praying for there to be an Awakening uh in every mind uh and every he uh that would say you know what I know who I am I know the hand of God that is on my life uh I know I'm not average I know I'm not ordinary I know who I am and there are some things uh I'm getting ready to put on there's some things uh I'm getting ready to put on got to make a decision say brother James what are you preaching about I tell you this I'm preaching about exactly what I preached about this morning you said that you're you're preaching about some stuff that that could be a bit ambiguous what is it that God has really put it on I'll tell you this right now the thing that God is really allowing us to put on in this time that we have not put on before is a harvest of souls John 30 John 4:35 this is what Jesus says he says say not ye there are yet four months and then cometh the Harvest behold I say unto you uh lift up your eyes and look on the fields for they are white already to harvest Jesus says the fields are white everything is prepared I've got everything is ready but then listen what he says in the following verse he says I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor other men labored and ye are entered into their labors now I need you to hear me I know that traditionally we have interpreted this that what Jesus is speaking about here is those those who have planted seed into the ground who are part of the Church of the Living God and I believe that with all of my heart we are standing on the shoulders of Elders that have put put some things in the ground they have planted some things they have put some seed in the ground decades ago centuries ago perhaps they put some things in the ground and now you and I are reaping the Harvest that comes from that but could it be that Jesus was not only speaking of what those who were in the church had put into the ground could it be that Jesus was speaking about what hell had prepared for years and years and years hell had prepared them hell had gotten them ready come on Hell had sharpened their talents hell had sharpened their abilities hell had sharpened their business Acumen to bring about his agenda on the kingdom of the Earth but in the end you know what the Lord said in the end you may have prepared them uh you may have gotten them ready uh but I'm going to send fac Knoxville uh to reap a harvest uh that they didn't work for they didn't prepare for come on uh but in the end uh they're going to be the ones that are going to wear itth come on they didn't prepare itth they didn't get it together but I'm sending them uh to re a harvest uh I'm sending them to reap soap come on young people this year God is sending you uh to reap a harvest uh God is sending you to reap Soul come on hell has had his grip on your friends for long enough uh hell has worn your friends like a badge of honor for long enough uh I say it's time to go and get up uh I say it's time to bring them home I say they may have prepared them but in the end we're going to wear them the Church of the Living God it's going to wear them but my question to you is are you going to put it on it's waiting for you young people it's been prepared for you God has set up a harvest for you God has set up souls for you but whether or not you see the Fulfillment of the promise is up to you will you put on what God has prepared for you I believe that there are some young men uh I believe that there are some young ladies that will say Hey brother James I'm going to put it on

I don't know I I grew up I was one of five and I didn't have any brothers but I did have some cousins 19 to be precise 19 cousins about eight or nine of those were boys and we were all around the same age and so hand-me-downs was something I was very familiar with I didn't like to wear hand-me-downs cuz hand-me-downs were worn out hand-me-downs somebody else had worned them before and they just but but here's the thing about it even if it was a hand me- down if it had some some value in it it was still something that was worth wearing even though it had been worn and been used before I I I I could still wear some hamme Downs because there was some vow you still left in those hand-me-downs here's what you need to understand there are some hand-me-downs that that that God is going to begin

are some businessmen and business women that for years hell has warned them there are some people in the education system that for years hell has warned them but can I tell you it's time for the Church of the Living God to put them on it's time for the Church of and I'm not ashamed Pastor M I'm not ashamed to wear some hand-me-downs I'm not ashamed I'm not ashamed to have some people coming to these doors that hell has worn for a long time you know what it's a testimony of the power of God it's a testimony of the keeping power of the redeeming power of God one more time I want you to lift up your hands I want you to pray that God will begin to connect you with some people you never thought that they would be the ones that God would bring you in contact with it was the good that
