I just feel like I want to publicly testify and tell you that I am personally more in love with Jesus Christ than I've ever been in all my life sir yes sir I am more in love with him sweeter gets to Journey every day every day I'm more in love with him right now and this is a testimony and not a sermon I am more in love with Jesus Christ right now I just want you to know that I've ever been in the entirety of my walk my walk with him now let's go to the sermon I took my text today from Acts chapter 3 acts chap 3: 1-16 records one of the first miracles in the New Testament Church where it begins in chapter one chapter 3 in verse number one by simply saying now Peter and John went up into the temple at The Hour of Prayer being the ninth hour now it's an interesting verse because notice it did not say they went up to the temple at the hour of sacrifice because they did not attend sacrifices because the ultimate sacrifice had already had already been fulfilled but they did adhere to prayer they went up to the temple at The Hour of Prayer let me say today that there has been a lot of prayer go up this week there's been a lot of people com out for the 8 to 9:00 prayer meeting of the mornings as issued by our governor and the proclamation but there's also been a lot of people probably many times more that's let me know Pastor I can't make it down to the church but I want you to know that in my home I'm praying from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. I'm having prayer there's a lot of prayer going up and anytime you get a lot of prayer going up you get a lot of moving of God's presence going on people get in a right channel they get God's been there all the time but prayer seems to put us on the right channel it puts us on the right dial in the right stream Peter and John went up to the temple at The Hour of Prayer and as they were about to enter the temple at the gate called Beautiful there lay a lame man a man who was born with a um physical a physical handicap if you call it that he was lame on his feet something in his body was not connected nerves were not connected he had no movement about his feet he had no movement in his legs he was lame from his mother's womb and and as the custom of that day was they would take someone like him and place him on a street corner or place him at a place where he could earn his living by being a beggar he would beg for arms this man this lame man who remains nameless in scripture this lame man is laid there at the gate called Beautiful who seeing Peter and John about the enter into the temple be as his custom was to ask for arms would you give this man some arms would you give me some arms he began to ask the Bible says that Peter and John fastened their eyes upon him they fastened their eyes upon him and then Peter being the spokesman begins with something that goes like this Silver and Gold Have I None but such as I have give I Thee in the name of Jesus Christ rise up and walk and then the Bible said that Peter reached and got him by the hand and lifted him up be to lift him up and then this is where the miracle took place the Bible says and immediate ly his feet and ankle bones receive strength and leaping up leaping up he began to LEAP he stood and he become he become be began to walk and he entered into the temple with Peter and John now you got to understand there's more of a miracle going on than just nerves being connected and spinal connections going on and being able to have feeling in his feet his toes being able to move his legs walking is a process that you go through a child begins to crawl and then the child begins to take baby steps and then the child over a process begins to walk but not with this man God not only healed whatever the situation was that caused him to be paralyzed but God also not only did and I guess I could if if I ever preach this again I may preach this God can take care of us God can take care of us from head to toe because God not only touched him in his feet and his ankle bones but God gave him the ability right up here God gave him the ability to know how to LEAP up and then God gave him the ability what took you and a few months to learn how to walk as babies God instantly gave this man the ability to walk and he walked in as a matter of fact he's a pretty smart man because the Bible says that he held on to Peter and John he held on I'm going to tell you something when the Lord does a miracle for you you want to hold on to him when the Lord does something for you in your life you say well how can you you get up after after 40 46 plus years of living for God 46 47 years of having the baptism of the Holy Ghost how can you get up today and say you're more in love with him than you've ever been well it's easy my friend because when he does for you what only he can do for you you don't want to let him go you want to hold on to him I I believe I believe years ago they wrote a song I am determined to to hold out to the end Jesus is with me on him I can depend I know I have salvation for I feel it in my soul I am determined to come on sing it with me to hold out to the end can I tell you that when you get the Holy Ghost baptism and you get your sins remitted in the lovely name of Jesus and God begins to do the miracle that you know that only he can do you're you're born again then you want to they just held on to Peter and John just held on but then the Bible says when they in the temple who had seen the lame man brought daily to the gate he's not lame anymore he's not crippled anymore he's not he's not he's not there asking for arms he's leaping and walking but it says more than that leaping and walking and praising God leaping and walking and praising God you know when God does something for you you need to do more than leap and you need to do more than walk you need to do a little praising God he he was leaping and walking and praising God he knew that God had done this for him and then the crowd gathered in the crowd gathered around and they saw the man who had been laying holding on to Peter and John and then the crowd begin to gaze upon Peter and John the crowd begin to ooh and a what are these men what are these men the these men who are these men that have brought about this healing and Peter being the good preacher that he is immediately begin to say why do you look on us why are you looking to us as though through our power or Holiness that we have made this man whole he said the god of your father the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob the god of your father glorified his son he is the one that you denied just a few days ago he is the one that you crucified a few days ago but him God has glorified and raised him from the dead and now we go to this verse now we go to this verse and his name verse 16 listen to Peter preach and his name through faith in his name that's really important his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong whom you see and know yay the faith which is by him now wait a minute now that Faith which is by him is not the faith that the lame man had the lame man didn't have any faith he had an expectancy to receive an arm but he didn't have any faith of being healed and then Peter says it wasn't our faith either it wasn't our faith it was the his faith his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong whom you see and know yay the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all Peter was say Peter was saying it was faith in the name of Jesus it is the faith that comes through the name of Jesus you see church today the power that is in the name of Jesus isn't in the pronunciation of the name just saying the name does not give you power there's there's a small fragment of a movement not really much worth mentioning of people saying oh I want to be baptized in the name of Yahweh that's the that's the correct pronunciation of the name of the Lord so they'll get baptized having somebody say Yahweh well the truth of the matter is the truth of the matter is no one knows the exact pronunciation of Jehovah or Yahweh or any of that you know why the power is not in the pronunciation the power is Faith In The Name of Jesus Christ what do you mean faith in the name it was Jewish culture that any time that you mentioned a person's name you also were referring to their nature or their character it wasn't just a name of identification but it was a name of their personality when you said a person's name the name fit the personality it fit the person so today can I just tell you there is no power in just saying the name of Jesus the power comes when you have faith in that name you believe there is a God that took that name and has that name and when you say the name of Jesus it's not a lucky rabbit's foot it's not a fourleaf clover it's not just a word you say when you say Jesus you are connected ing Yourself by faith to the god of creation when you say Jesus you are connecting yourself to he that was alive was crucified and is alive forever more when you say Jesus you are referring to the spirit of God faith in that name but how do you have faith how do we get Faith Romans 10:1 17 says it this way way so then Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God how can I have faith in the name of Jesus if I never hear from the word of God how can we know the identity of Jesus Christ if someone doesn't go to the only book that can bring Faith into our lives and that is the Bible Paul says Paul says faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God the Galatians the church at Galatians was very foolish the church at galatia being filled with the Holy Ghost being baptized in that Wonderful Name of Jesus that Apostolic Church in the in the city of galatia that Apostolic Church somehow reverted back to the works of the law they reverted back to the offering up of sacrifices Lambs goats and Bullocks they reverted back they reverted back to go under back under the La Paul addresses them in Galatians chapter 3 in verse number one and Paul says this in verse one oh foolish Galatians who ha Bewitched you who has Put a Spell on You that you should not obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus Christ have been evidently set forth and crucified among you this only would I learn of you receive ye the Spirit by The Works of the law or by the hearing of Faith are ye so foolish having begun in the spirit are you now made perfect in the flesh have you suffered so many things in vain if it be yet in vain he therefore that minister to you the spirit and worketh miracles among you doeth he it by The Works of the law or by the hearing or by the hearing of Faith he came and found these Galatians going back under the law and he said whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa wait a minute time out he said did you receive the Holy Ghost Under The Works of the law did you receive the Holy Ghost when you were cutting the throats of sheep and Bullocks did you receive the Holy Ghost when you were pouring oil and wine and and meal and mixing it together did you receive the Holy Ghost when you were under the works of the law and the answer to that was no he said you've had miracles happen among you you have had absolute Miracles take place signs and wonders did that happen under the law and the answer to it again is No when did the Holy Ghost come when someone preached to you the word of faith when someone begin to tell you that God had a gift for you and you begin to look at it and study it in your Bible then all of a sudden something begins to move in in you and before you know it you have received the wonderful gift of the Holy Ghost you didn't even believe in healing until somebody talked to you because a lot of under under the law of religion today they're telling people that God no longer heals that God no longer moves that if modern medicine can't heal you you can't be helped but I'm here to tell you you're in a church today that will preach the word of faith to you that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday what do you mean by yesterday he was a Healer yesterday he healed a woman that had an issue of blood he healed blind bmus he healed the lame man at the gate he healed yesterday today and forever more I want to preach that word did you get it under the law no I didn't get it under the law he said no you got it by hearing the word of faith faith in in the name of Jesus it is your pastor's desire this morning to be nothing but a conduit for Faith to arise in your heart the only reason I'm here today I simply want to be a conduit to take God's word preach it from my mouth through these speakers into your ears into your heart and to cause you to say I believe God could do that for me I believe God could do that for me it's not just saying Jesus Jesus Jesus when I say Jesus and I have faith in that name Peter didn't just go up and say Silver and Gold Have I None but such as I have give I Thee in the name of Jesus Peter had faith in that name Peter believed that name was able to do anything and when Peter reached down and got that man by the hand Peter became a conduit for the faith that he believed in the name of Jesus Christ would you just raise your hand right now and worship the name of Jesus Christ would you just would you just have faith in his name right now God I believe you Lord God I believe At The Mention Of Your Name God because when I say Jesus I am I am believing in the god of Eternity when I say Jesus I am believing in the death burial and Resurrection when I say when I say Jesus how can I preach to your faith today let me tell you about him in Matthew 1: 21 Joseph has a dream because he's considering putting Mary away because she has been found with child but he thought that Mary had been unfaithful to him and he was mindful to put her away but while he slept he had a dream and the angel the angel says in Matthew 1:21 the angel says this to Joseph and she shall bring forth a son and you shall call his name name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins so now we see the first connection of the name of Jesus can I tell you every problem you have every challenge every problem in the world today can be traced back to sin people say well I want to go to a church that is relevant honey you can't be in a more Relevant Church than this one right here because we address the issue of all the problems in your life and it is sin but praise be to God when we talk about the name of Jesus that name is first connected with the eradication of our sins the removal of our sins he said you will call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sin if I'm not saved from my sin I am destitute I am on a one-way trip to a place called hell and it is only by the name of Jesus that I can be saved from my sin let's go a little later in the Bible to the book of Acts Acts chapter 4 and verse number 12 even this is the sermon going on that Peter preached acts chap 4 and verse number 12 neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved can I tell you this morning church we couldn't be more relevant than magnifying the name of Jesus every sinner that walks through that door my name won't save them the name Apostolic won't save them your name won't save them but if we can get them to have faith in the name of Jesus faith in that name will remove their sins from them oh I like this passage of scripture Philippians chapter 2 and verse number n Philippians 2 and verse number n wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him somebody say it with me and given him uh giving him a somebody want some Faith get in your heart today say it with me giving him a giving him a name which is above every name that at the name name of Jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven and things in Earth and things under the Earth they say that that verse there means when you say the name of Jesus angels have to stop and reverence the name of Jesus they say when you say the name of Jesus that people that know the name have to stop and reverence the name of Jesus and then the Bible says and things under the Earth that that's referring to the Demonic realm I know movies from Hollywood have glorified a demon possession and made them look so powerful and I'm going to tell you something friend you don't need to even watch that trash to begin with because there is no demon going to blow out a window a man that has faith in the name of Jesus Christ can I tell you when Jesus began to cast out Devils he didn't Waller in the floor with them he did didn't get down he didn't lay hands on them he didn't Waller in the floor he didn't tie them up in knocks he just said get out of here get out of here just get can I tell you when you say Jesus angels have to stop when you say Jesus the church comes to her feet when you say Jesus demons have to say wait a minute yeah wait a minute at the name of Jesus every knee should bow things in heaven and things in the earth and things under the Earth and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the father now let me show you something here modern religion today have a lot of people confessing the name of Jesus with their lips brother Hammond they confess the name of Jesus with their lips but their actions do not go with their confession they confess his name but their Bended Knees or their actions of Deliverance doesn't does not coincide or it doesn't go together they speak the name of Jesus but they don't live like they know the name of Jesus the Bible said let every man that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity you can't name him with your tongue and walk to the bar with your feet you can't name him with your tongue but get on the internet with your hands you can't name him with your tongue but every other part of your body is going in the direction of the world that's modern Christianity that's in the world today oh come and make a confession of Faith oh come and just just make a confession make a decision make a decision and then there is a mighty religion in this world today that's known that's known as they worship their God who is not Jesus as they worship their God who is not Jesus they worship him with Bended Knees they worship him with Bended Knees oh they are zelous oh yes they are zelous be on an airplane with them and when it comes their prayer time they're going to go to the gy way of the plane and ask which way their religious temples are and they'll roll out their prayer rug and they'll bend their knees and they'll go after it they'll go after it in prayer oh yes flew into New York City some time ago as a taxi picked me and first lady up to take us to the place we were preaching the taxi was a ramp it was a ramp that kind of come around like kind of a ramp coming back around to the interstate when I looked out I saw a sea of taxis that were waiting there at JFK just a hundreds of taxis that that were there waiting for their time to go and come to the airport but what got my attention was there was a large tent out there in the middle of that tent there they were at their prayer time hundreds of them Bended Knees there praying to their God who is not Jesus Christ isn't that something today the Bible says that at the name of Jesus every tongue that's what we say would confess and every knee would bow modern religion just has a tongue false religion just has a bended knee but I'm in an Apostolic church this morning that promotes and preaches faith in that name and we not only have a tongue to glorify God we have got Bended Knees to glorify God we have got hand clamp offerings to glorify God while somebody might shout to glorify God somebody might run the aisle to glorify God somebody somebody May leap to glorify God you know why at the name of Jesus every tongue is going to confess and every knee is going to bow at the name of Jesus I want you to know today that when you say the name of Jesus action should take place when you have faith in that name when you have faith in that name there should be an automatic action that takes place James said it this way in James 2 and 26 for as the body without the spirit is dead so faith without works is dead also you can't have faith in the name and not have action to back it up you can't say I have faith James uncovered it he said you can show me you can say you've got faith all day long he said but show me your faith without your works and I'll show you my faith by my works I've heard people critical of worship demonstrative worship say well it's not all in the shout and I agree with them it ain't all in the shout but you got to understand there is something in the shout it might not all listen it ain't all in the shout but there's something in the shout because when I think about Jesus and all that he's done for me when I oh my God here we go when I you you see what I'm I'm talking about faith hey it ain't the music that's got you on your feet right now it ain't a song that's got you on your feet right now when I think about the name of Jesus and all he's done when I think about where he's brought me from when I think about the bar stool he brought me from when I think about the crack house he brought me from when I think about the place he brought me from I I got to praise him a little bit got to worship him a little bit cuz you can't oh my God Jesus you have the name you're going to have action the Bible said listen to some of our Lord's first words or last words excuse me listen to some of Jesus last words on Earth Mark 16 And1 17 these signs shall follow them that believe in my my name they shall cast out Devils they shall speak with new tongues how can I cast out a devil I got faith in his name because when I go to a devil I'm not going to a devil on the strength of the 5 foot 7 inch none of your business pounds Kenneth Carpenter when I go to the devil I meet the Devil with the right name I don't say devil in the name of Kenneth Ray Carpenter born June 10th 1960 to John Virgil Carpenter and Ruby Lo Carpenter I don't say that I say devil I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ you say well how do you know he's going to conquer them because he's the same yesterday today and forever more how do you know it's going to work name Faith in the name Faith in the name oh Lord I wish I could go I wish I go in my name they shall cast out devils in my name they shall speak with new tongues they shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick and and they shall recover can I tell you it is not saying take up serpents to prove you have faith it is not saying drink battery acid to prove you're a Christian he is saying if by chance you step on a snake or if by chance you drink something that is spoil I will place a Divine protection around you how many of you can testify of almost running off the road in your car on a slick rainy road but all of a sudden you lost control going round and round on the interstate but all you had time to do Jesus Jesus and the next thing you know the car has come to the side of the road can I tell you you can ride it off as halfen chance but I just want want to give God praise for it I just want to say God I give you praise last it's either last Sunday morning or Sunday morning before that church had started we' got on our first course I was worshiping God and and out of my prival I saw brother Mitchell Hyde go walking by he come walking by praising God got up around the altar praising God and and that's nothing now the ordinary people do that around here all the time just come walking up around the altar to praise God but when he turned to me man he had looked like he had been in a fight he was scarred up on his head he had to bruise here he had a cut there and and he put his arm around me and his voice be to break and he owns a a meat processing place down here on 411 he he owns this place that sells beef and Slaughter they slaughtered beef down there and somehow he got in a stall with a W with with a with a steer and I might meant a steer a bull a cap a bulock I don't it was just a large animal and all of a sudden something happened and that that animal got a hold of him and that animal be begin to shove him and push him around and can I tell you he came down here today because if God hadn't kept his hand please children of God please don't write anything good off to to just happen chance give God praise for everything good in your life well that just could have happened I just don't believe that happens I believe that we could have preached Mitchell H's funeral but a god looked down and said no I I'm not going to let this take place I I'm going to let him get out of that tent I'm going to let him get out of there and so he came to give God some praise there is T today he came to give God some praise yeah somebody give him praise right now somebody that's got a story somebody that's got a story why don't you stand and praise him right now the name Hallelujah the name the name the name the name Matthew 28:18 listen to Jesus Matthew 28:18 Jesus Jesus came and spake unto them saying all power is given unto me in heaven and earth go ye therefore teach All Nations baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I've commanded you and lo I'm with you always even to the end of the world Amen how are you with me always because you are baptizing in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost you see brother Carpenter doesn't that come against baptism absolutely not that proves baptism number one nobody's being baptized here Jesus didn't say repeat after me he said I want you to go and baptize in the name of the father Jesus said I've got my name from my father Gospel of John the Bible said son he said thou shal call his name the son you will call his name Jesus the Bible says the Holy Ghost whom the father will send in my name father's not a name it's a descriptive title of Creator son is not a name it's a descriptive title of Redeemer Holy Ghost is not a name it's a descriptive title of the regenerator the born again regenerator but what's that name that name is Jesus when we say Jesus we're talking about the Creator when we say Jesus we're talking about the Redeemer when we say Jesus we're talking about the regenerating power of the Holy Ghost Jesus relevant relevant Luke 24:46 and he said unto them thus it is written and thus it behoove Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day follow me verse 47 you follow me and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations beginning at Jerusalem Matthew talked about the name Mark talked about the name Luke talked about the name come on John you're going to be the last of the four gospel writers and in John chapter 20 and verse number 30 and many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples which are not written in this book but these are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ the son of God Follow Me Now Church follow me now follow me now and that believing you might have life through his name no wonder Peter looked at the crowd and said don't look on us it was not by our power or by our Holiness that the former lame man is now walking but it's faith in his name I know you've been trying to get an answer but you got to say more than Jesus Jesus Jesus I know you've been looking for a way but you got to say more than Jesus it's not a rabbit's foot it's not rubbing a side of a Genie bottle and hoping something comes out you've got to have faith in that name you got to have the faith that is in that name if you believe that would you shout with me right now oh Hallelujah I am more in love with him today oh yes the Old Testament is a wonderful collection of books It's a Wonderful history It's a Wonderful collection of prophecies that prove the identity of Jesus Christ but there's a story in the old Testament 1st Samuel 17 verse number8 the giant called Goliath 1st Samuel 17 and verse 8 he stood and Cried unto the armies of Israel and said unto them why you come out to set your battle in Array am not I a Philistine and you the Servants of Saul choose you a man for you and let him come down to me if he be able to fight with me and kill me then will we be your servants but if I Prevail against him and kill him then shall ye be our servants and serve us and the Philistine said I defy the armies of the living the armies of Israel this day give me a man that we may fight together Goliath said would you just please send me a man come on could could you just send me a man out here to fight and the deal will be this deal will be this if the man you send kills me all of the Philistines will be your servants but if I kill the man you sin then you all will automatically be my servants 1st Samuel 17:45 here's the man he's not a man he's a stripping he's not even fully developed yet then said David to the Philistine thou comest to me with a sword and a spear and with a shield but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts the god of the armies of Israel whom thou Hast defiled now look at this Old Testament typology here get your mind off David's slingshot get your mind off of David's slingshot David didn't kill Goliath with his slingshot he killed him with the name of the Lord because he said well L's let talk about our Armory here you've got a a sword and a spear and a shield that's your Armory but I you want to know what my Armory is you want to know what my weapons are but I I come to you in the name of the Lord now brother Carman that's a little bit of a stretch oh is it the Bible says the the Bible says in the Book of Proverbs that the name of the Lord is a strong tower and the righteous run into it and are saved well that's just talking about a tower when you read Customs you read where they stored the Weaponry the the swords and the spears inside of the city tower so what the what the proverb is saying my Weaponry is in the name of the Lord stop Church fighting your battles with fleshly means you're not going to wear him out you're not going to outthink him you're not going to positive outthink him the only way you're going to defeat the Devil is to come to him in the name of the Lord I've got faith in the name of Jesus I may be suffering right now but I got faith in the name of Jesus I might be troubled right now but I've got faith in the name of Jesus I may have a child that's went Wayward but I got faith in the name of Jesus there may have be an incurable disease but I've got faith in the name of Jesus I can't I can't leave this I can't leave this wasn't his slingshot it was not his slingshot he said I come to you I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts the god of the armies of Israel whom thou Hast defiled this day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand and I will smite thee and take thine head from thee and I will give the carcass of the I will give the carcass into the host of the Philistines this day un the fouls of the air and the wild beast of the of the earth that all the Earth may know that there is a God in Israel can I tell you something when you begin to magnify the name of Jesus your giant doesn't even have to be dead for you to begin to talk by faith Goliath was still bellering Goliath was still as alive as he' ever been but David be to magnify the name of the Lord of hosts and David be to talk by faith he said this day I'm taking your head off of your body this day you see these you see these old vulture circling around God has called them here they're going to they're going to they're going to eat your flesh this day I'm going to take your head and the birds are going to eat your flesh your carcass is going to be strewn out all over this Valley and all of a sudden all the people are going to know that there is a God in Israel can I tell tell you God doesn't have to deliver you for you to start talking by faith you just get yourself in line with the name of Jesus and you start saying I'm coming out of this you start saying no weapon formed against me will prosper you start saying oh the giant is still Belling but you start saying you're not going to stop me I'm going to live again I'm going to walk again I'm going to run again I'm going to shout again I'm going to win souls again we're going to be happy again and that GI is still there I can't leave this alone and it came to pass verse 48 when the Philistine arose and came and Drew nigh to meet David that David hastened and ran toward the Army to meet the Philistine you know I wonder sometimes I wonder sometimes if the devil doesn't come running to try to scare us you know oh I got some trouble in my life oh oh I got I I shouted real good I got to pray and and I shout oh but oh Lord you're coming com is he gone and I tell you I wonder if that giant thought I'll just go running down there and scare him real good I've done that to Israel I've done that to I went running they go scare back up to their tent but this time you ain't messing with anybody just in anybody you're talking about a man that knows the name of the Lord and when that giant got to running David got to running too here he got to I imagine old giant kind of thought whoa wait a minute the Bible says came to pass when Philistine arose and came and Drew nigh to meet David David hastened and ran toward the Army to meet the Philistine David put his hand in his bag took fence of stone and slang it and smokee the Philistine in the forehead that that the stone sunk into his forehead and he fell upon his face to the earth now I know like I got a bunch of preachers here and I know how we like to do it brother Chris I know how we like to do it God David did whatever he could he got that slingshot he got that stone when it come out of the sling go I've got a hold of it that may that may make good camp meeting F but it ain't there you ever thought David just might have hit him in a forhead because he was a good shot and you don't become a good shot without practice you ever think maybe that we could just defeat the enemy if we just practice praise praise will bring him down every time praise knows where to go to the mind cuz the devil's trying to get in my mind but when I begin to praise him I know where to hit him when I begin to praise him he's not left me he's right by my side yay though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me like this I like this everybody say he likes this Mikey likes this verse 50 so David prevailed David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone smoked the Philistine and slew him but there was no sword in his hand look at this therefore David ran and stood where'd he stand where does it say he stood beside him huh come on somebody help me that come you say Stood Beside him where'd he get what's supposed to be under our feet bruise Satan under your feet shortly can I tell you David went and stood upon what had been cursing him for 40 days he came and stood and if you will get the revelation of his name you'll stop being feeling sorry for yourself oh poor pity for me I wasn't raised right I wasn't born in the right family I've been done wrong he left me she left me they fired me they laid off I I he it no you begin to say I've got the name of the Lord I got the name of the Lord and I'm just going to stand up on it today I'm just going to get up on it today I'm going to get up on it today you've got my joy but I'm going to get my joy back you've got my peace but I'm going to get my PE come on am I preaching to anybody in this house today faith faith therefore David ran and stood up the Philistine and took his sword his sword how humiliating is that took his sword and Drew it out of the sheep therefore can I tell you David hit Goliath so fast and hard Goliath didn't even have enough time to draw a sword out his sword was still in the sheath David took his sword out cut his head off now he took his head back follow this in scripture he took his head you see that little boy holding taking his fingers and twisting it through the black curly hair of Goliath and raising it up while they were up in their tents shivering for fear David walks in brother Elijah and he says King Saul is this what you're looking for this what you're looking for the Bible says he took the head of Goliath and he took it and put it in Jerusalem but when you study scripture you'll find out that the Israelites did not have control of Jerusalem the city of Jerusalem at that time it was called jbus jbus at that time the Israelites did not have control of it but David takes the head of Goliath and chunks it over the wall of Jerusalem why in the world would you want to do that for because that's a city that belongs to our God can I tell you that every time we magnify the name of Jesus we throw the head of Goliath over the city wall and say I'm coming for M I'm coming for win souls I'm coming to be a soul winner I'm coming to be a productive worker in the kingdom of God every time can you say praise the lord lord musicians would you come early in the history of man they cried out after the name of the Lord for help you can't even finish the fourth chapter of Genesis a murder had been committed a replacement had been given for Abel and in Genesis 4:26 and to Seth to him also there was born a son he called his name in us then begin men to call on the name of the Lord can I tell you don't put the name of the Lord with something that came about in the old in the New Testament early in the history of man somehow deep within man's heart they knew that he had a name and they cried out and they called on the name of the Lord Jacob gets in a wrestling match with the angel of God God in Angelic form Jacob is in the wrestling match and Genesis 32:29 Jacob's wrestling with God and Jacob asked him tell me I pray thee thy name and he said wherefore is it that you do ask after my name Jacob said would you just tell me that name and the the Lord said why are you asking again the angel of the Lord visited Samson's mother and father and in Judges 13 verse1 17 Samson's father manoah said unto the angel of the Lord what is thy name that when thy sayings come to pass we may do the honor and the angel of the Lord said unto him why askest Thou after my name seeing it is secret it's not time for my name to be revealed but Isaiah 9 and6 God said I want to start dropping some breadcrumbs I want to start dropping some breadcrumbs to my people and Isaiah 9 and6 says it this way for unto us a child is born unto us a son is given given the government shall be up on his shoulder and his name Shall be Called wonderful counselor the Mighty God the Everlasting father the Prince of Peace I want to help us Church there's been a lot of prayer go up this past week this is a Praying church but I got to get us to understand when the disciples asked Jesus Lord would you teach us how to pray you see I I I don't believe that people get discouraged about Prayer by the act of doing it I believe they get discouraged because they're ignorant of the art of prayer and after a while they just believe they're spinning their wheels and I'm I'm saying words and nothing's happening and they came and they said Lord teach us to pray like John taught his disciples and Jesus said are you listening to me Jesus said When you pray say Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name he said I want you to know when you start praying that you're connected to my name hallowed means separate hallowed means one of a kind hallowed means holy separate none like it he says when you go to pray I want you to understand that you're coming in my name and there's not another one there's not another name like it not another not another name when you say Jesus by faith in that name I am connected to the Creator when you say Jesus I am connected to the Savior they're on a stormy sea they're sure to drown the boat is sure to capsize the boat is filling with water but they wake him up he simply goes to the bow of the boat and he simply says peace be still Mark 4:41 and they feared exceedingly and said one to another what manner of man is this that even the wind and the Sea obey him you want to know what kind of man he is you want to know what it means when you say the name of Jesus what manner of man is this can I tell you what manner of man is this call his name Emmanuel what does that mean it means god with us do you know when you talk about the name of Jesus is not a lucky rabbit's foot it's not a fourleaf clover it's not the pronunciation of the name but when you have faith in that name it corre it connects you to the god of creation never a man spake like this man for in him Colossians 2:9 for in him dwelleth all the fullness of the godhead bodily 1 Timothy 3:16 without controversy great is the mystery of godliness God was manifest In the Flesh justified in the spirit seen of angels preached to the Gentiles believed on the world received up into Glory where is Jesus at right now where is Jesus at right now can I tell you where he's at right right right now the Book of Revelation tells me where he's at right now he's in his Priestly garments he's in his high Priestly garments he's in his Priestly garments and he's walking come on out he's walking he's walking among the church today you know where he's at he's in the Priestly garment right now he's walking among the church in and out of the candlesticks he's walking among the church right now right now but there's coming a day at the end of chapter three at the end of chapter three he walks among the the churches God I wonder what you're saying this morning as you walked among the marille church God I hope you didn't say they're rich and increased with goods and think they have need of nothing I hope when you walked among us today I hope when you walked among us today you didn't say they're lethargic they're disconnected you see it's one thing to have an experience I'm glad you got the Holy Ghost and I'm glad you talked in tongues and I'm glad you got baptized 50 years ago but a relationship should come out of an experience you shouldn't just have an experience only and not have a relation relationship with him I am more in love with him right now than I have ever ever ever ever ever been in all of my life he's not going to say to you on that day depart from me you didn't have an experience you're I going to say to you depart from me you didn't have a spirit experience he's going to say depart from me I never knew you we never had an we never had a relationship but at the end of the third chapter of the Book of Revelation he takes off his high priest garment and a voice from Heaven that sounds like a trumpet says to John come up hither and a door was opened in heaven and immediately I was in the throne room sounds like in a moment in the twinkle of an eye he's going to Rapture the church he's going to Rapture us with his word he's going to Rapture us with his voice he's going to Rapture us I've often thought I've often thought I've often thought I've often thought brother Purdue I've often thought what will the Rapture feel feel like and until somebody can debate me wrong I wonder if just moments before the rapture we won't begin to feel the tingling sensation of the spirit of God you see friend thank God for our music it's second to none but can I tell you that music does not get me to praise God it's way down inside of my heart I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the Lord when I think about where he has brought me from when I think about the goodness of the Lord and the mercy of the Lord and the Hand of the Lord and how good the Lord has been to me and I'm a rank Sinner Man and he's been good to me he's been far better to me than I've been to him I can't help but praise him I can't help but praise Him remain standing with me right now I I can't help but praise him today I wonder if we won't begin to feel something Jesus I love you Jesus I thank you Jesus I magnify you Jesus I glorify you oh God I thank you Lord I glorify you Lord and all of a sudden in a moment in the twinking of an eye this corruptible is going to put on corrup you're going to put off corruption it's mortal I'll take off this body and I'll put on a brand new body and I'll be with him in glory I'll be with him in heaven I'll praise the name of Jesus in heaven I'll praise him and then he'll come riding back with his church to fight in the battle of Armageddon I love him today I've done everything I could do today I have preached until the sweat is is actually squishing around in my shoes

say it's cut free I'm cut free I'll do everything I can to write the wrong but I've been cut free I want to tell you and I almost last week with that dynamic message of Bishop osor The Substitute I almost ended the service by telling you this story back I think it happened in 1920 a man shot I believe it is a postman he shot a postman and killed him he was proven guilty and was going to be executed but somehow his case got to the president of the United States office and the president granted that man a full presidential pardon set free it overrides the guilty it overrides proven guilty in the court of law it overrides you've got a date in electri chair it's a full signature signed by the president a full presidential pardon they walk those papers to that man's sail and they told that man you have been pardoned you will not die in the electric chair here you will be set free today all you got to do is sign the presidential pardon and for whatever reason the man refused to sign the Parton it sent them into quite a quand quandry the case brother John Stone went all the way to the Supreme Court of the land what do we do with a man sentenced to die in the electric chair who has received the papers of a presidential pardon it went all the way to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court brought back the ruling that the presidential pardon is only powerful if is accepted by the one being pardoned right that if the one being pardoned does not accept it then the presidential pardon is of no value at all okay 2,000 years ago we received the messiah's pardon from our sin papers have been brought to all of our sales today we can go free no more shame no more guilt we can go free but if I don't accept it it's as if he never died for me come on one last act of worship let's receive his pres let's receive it tday I'm free I'm free I'm free praise praise God I'm free I'm set free no more shame no more guilt no more shame no more guilt no more depression no more misery no
