Summary
Summary prepared by Acts 2:38 Life from the transcript below — the preacher’s words follow in full.
The text and the title
- The cut opens mid-sentence, then reads the Capernaum synagogue account: Jesus taught on the Sabbath days, the people were astonished at his doctrine, a man with a spirit of an unclean devil cried out, and Jesus rebuked him and the devil came out and hurt him not.
- "I want to title my remarks, 'Demons in disguise.'" He does not like to preach a lot about the devil, he says, but now and then the church has to recognize the devil and recognize when he is coming against it, so it can smack him down.
- He prays that the word would become applicable to the body collectively and to the individual where they are, that lives would be changed, hearts healed, and families and relationships restored, and that every force of darkness would be rebuked in the name of Jesus.
Preaching is what makes Pentecost
- The text he read comes right after Jesus started his earthly ministry. For the first 30 years of Jesus' life on earth, he argues, there are no recorded miracles — God in the flesh was with the people and had relationship with them, but nothing supernatural was happening — yet from age 30 to 33, in three years, more miracles were performed than could be recorded in all the books put together. What changed, he asks, was not a what but a who: John the Baptist.
- After John the Baptist said, "Behold the lamb of God," 30 verses later Jesus is turning water into wine. Until Jesus was preached, he says, he healed nobody and nobody was delivered; there is something supernatural that happens when Jesus is preached, and you cannot have faith without preaching.
- Pentecost was launched in a prayer room with fire and then perpetuated by apostolic preaching. In Acts chapter 2:14 Peter stood up and lifted up his voice, preaching repentance and baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and in Acts chapter 2, when he finished preaching, 10 verses later the lame man is getting up from the gate. When a preacher preaches, signs and wonders and miracles happen.
- He presses the point against a low view of the preacher: to the carnal mind, preachers are employees of a church elected to manage a spiritual social club, but the preacher works for God and serves God, and is there to make sure the hearer does not go to hell — which is why the preacher must sometimes preach things that do not make the hearer feel good but change his life.
Scriptures: Acts 2:14; Acts 2
No new doctrine — and the woman with the extra stake
- Some things can be new and should be new — sing unto the Lord a new song, and his mercy is new every morning — but that does not mean a new sermon, a new theology, or a new doctrine. "I know it might be a new day, but it's not a new doctrine." The church is not here for a new revelation but for old truth: one God, and the new birth message.
- He turns to the woman in the Bible who killed Sisera, the enemy of God's people, when he fled into her tent: she used the stake of a tent. A tent has no foundation; the stake is what holds it up and keeps nothing from blowing it away, and most of it is under the ground, unseen. She did not go looking for a new weapon.
- What he likes about her is that she had an extra one laying in the house — when she went to buy, she bought an extra one beyond the three she needed. He preaches to the "Saturday night people" who say, "I need a little extra": maybe the thing attacking you needs you to add a little extra — an extra dance to your clap, an extra measure beyond the bare minimum. The "extra sister" in his telling is the one who bought more than the bare minimum, while the one who settled for the minimum died.
Scriptures: James 2
The wilderness and the tempter's disguised questions
- After the preaching, the water, the dove, and the voice, the Spirit led Jesus into a wilderness to be tempted. Being Spirit-led does not always mean signs and wonders, he says; sometimes God takes a person into a wilderness to show him how to get victory, and the devil's lie is to convince him that what God is using to defeat the devil is meant to defeat him.
- The tempter's questions are demons in disguise: "if thou be the Son of God," "if you're really anointed," "hath God not said?" — questions asked by people who already know the answer, meant to sow a seed of doubt, especially beside a weak new convert. Find a new pew to sit on, he says.
- Then the appeal to the flesh: turn the stones to bread, "you're not going to make it, you're not going to survive this storm." That is a demon in disguise telling you you are going to die; the truth is you are going to make it and survive the storm.
- Then the pinnacle of the temple, and looking down: the same temple the hearer went to as a child and did not want to leave, where he ran and shouted and danced — now viewed from a high place with a critical spirit about the music, the kids program, the people, and the pastor. Before Satan entered Judas, he says, Judas was looking down, and what he was looking down with was a critical spirit — critical about worship first — and that critical spirit, that door of negativity, was the door Satan came in on.
- Then the exceeding high mountain and the kingdoms of the world: positions, power, money, and blessings. Not every sign of blessing and promotion is because you are spiritual. The test he gives is plain: if you had to give up convictions for the promotion, compromise your praise, or give up your prayer life, it is a demon in disguise. If the degree has cost you the dance — screaming, shouting, running, and rolling — you have been tricked by the enemy.
The sacrifice of praise and the ministering angels
- When the devil figured out he could not get the worship, the enemy found out he could not get their praise — and then, he says, the devil leaves. He is not only here to tell of the devil getting beat up, but to tell that angels are here and ministering angels are coming, and that behind the preaching and behind the worship there is a visitation of the angelic coming to the meeting.
- He reaches back to the high priest going behind the veil: you have to have the blood — born again of water and Spirit, repenting of sins — then a vessel, then coals from an altar of sacrifice. Wood is flesh, he says: Abraham laid his flesh on the wood in order, and the wood was still consumed, symbolic of the flesh being consumed. Put a piece of oak wood on the altar and give it two hours of a praise session, and the flesh is completely transformed.
- Then incense must go on it: tears, depth, pain, and sorrow, all that has happened to you, crushed together and thrown on the fire. Some have had all kinds of hell break loose in the last year, but unless they put it on the fire it will only make them bitter; some have smoke but refuse to put the incense on, and just have a room full of smoke. Put them together and the room fills with a holy and divine smell of glory — a sacrifice of praise that puts your pain on the praise.
Customs, family attack, and church hurt
- When the devil cannot get your praise, your worship, or you with a promotion, he comes against your family: body under attack, kids under attack, mind frustrated, marriage under attack, father and mother, siblings and children.
- The answer he gives is custom. Jesus went to church, he says, because it was where he had been brought up and his custom was; the church goes Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, prayer meeting nights, special nights, and camp meeting nights, whatever the preacher or the song. If your kids have to ask whether you are going to church tonight, you have already lost the battle.
- He speaks directly to young people, to the generation 25 and under: coming to church has to become more than something done for mom and dad; you have to move your mommy and daddy's traditions into your own customs. Customs are what make us a family, and tradition upholds the law — it is not put above the law, but the truth is kept safe inside the customs of Pentecost. Do not let the devil steal your customs.
- The demons that turn people against the church are named bluntly: "you don't need the church," "I don't learn anything anymore," "I'm not being fed," "nobody loves me at that church." Whatever is turning you against the church is a devil. The church is the greatest thing ever going, and you do not get to have Jesus without the bride — you have to love the church.
- On church hurt he is unsparing: people get hurt at the gym, somebody got shot at a coffee shop, yet no one talks about "gym hurt" or boycotts the place — but church hurt gets used as an excuse not to come to church. Jesus himself went into church in Luke chapter 4, and the people in the synagogue got mad, rose up, kicked him out of the city, and took him to a hill trying to throw him off headfirst because they wanted to kill him. What did Jesus do when he got church hurt? Verse 30: he passed through them and went his way. Do not post about it, do not get on a group chat — just keep going your way, keep your traditions, keep your customs.
- The next service, he says, Jesus does Luke 4:31: he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, taught on the Sabbath day, and they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with power — and in the synagogue the foul, morally filthy spirit was cast out. There is never an excuse to miss the house of God; whatever you are using to keep yourself out of church is a demon in disguise. Get to church. Stay in the church.
Scriptures: Luke 4; Luke 4:30; Luke 4:31
Cast out, hold the plow, and take it
- He comes, he says, to cast every demon out of minds, marriages, lives, and families — and names the most demonic thing of all as the voice that says you will not make it, telling the hearer to give up and turn around. No man who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit, and the temptation to look back comes not when you are harvesting but when you are plowing, when the ground is hard and you do not feel God. The only way to a prize is to hold on while plowing, and the only way to a crown is to push through when it is challenging.
- He calls for honesty on a Saturday night: stop pretending until the last night and get the devil knocked out on the first night. Hold fast to the familiar customs, he says, and rebuke every demonic force, every lie, every trick, every curse and spell in the name of Jesus — nobody praying alone.
- He closes with his own building testimony. He is trying to build a building, 63,000 feet, 16 million, and needs about a quarter million to order the steel; for five months he has said that when they get a quarter million he will order it, and the money has kept trickling in. On June the 1st he told the church trustee board they should just sign for the deal and stop letting the devil delay them, though they did not have the quarter million the loan required. Flying home from South Dakota, he got a text from his secretary: a picture from his barber, who does not go to church, of a check for $10,000, then a check for $53,000, then a commitment for $120,000 — each one dated June the 1st.
- "You know what God is waiting on some of you to do? Say, 'I'm going to take it.'" Take it whether you feel like running or not. Get out of the house, get your praise up, and if you need a miracle, get to praising God; if you need God to make a way, praise him.

and missionaries. And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath days. And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his words were with power. And in the synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of an unclean devil. And he cried out with a loud voice, saying, Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. When the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him and hurt him not. Heard him not. I want to title my remarks, "Demons in disguise." Demons in disguise. I don't like to preach a lot about the devil, but every once in a while, you got to recognize we do have a devil. And we got to recognize when he's coming against us so we can smack him down. Amen. Lord, help me to do a good job delivering your word to your people, the space between my lips and their ears. Let your word, Father, become applicable to the body collectively and to the individual where they are. I pray, Father, in your name that at the conclusion of this meeting that when we leave this house, lives will be changed, hearts will be healed, families and relationships restored. I pray father against every force of the darkness I rebuke it in the name of Jesus and declare at the onset liberty victory and transformative power as we exit the house our hands and hearts will be lifted as we give glory and gratitude to you alone for you are worthy of it in the wonderful name of Jesus we pray and as one people we say in Jesus' name amen you can be seated in the well let's repeat that let's say in Jesus name that's pretty good if you believe he's But I thought I was with people who believe that he is the father, the son, We don't just casually say in Jesus name. You ought to say in Jesus name. Oh hallelujah. Now put your hands You can be st seated if you promise to stand back up and clap if I say All right. There's some people over here that don't believe God is good. There's some people over here. I'm just finding out who all believes the truth. It ain't going to go much deeper than that. If that doesn't get you happy, you ain't going to get happy. I SAID, "GOD, IF I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH SOME STUFF, but he's still good. You guys all pass the test. I was just picking on you the text. But that's the way it is. Amen. Preacher don't have to come up with something new every time. Just let him preach something true. That text that we read that we read this evening is right after Jesus has started his earthly ministry. For the first 30 years of his life on earth, there are no recorded min miracles or supernatural happenings. I'd like to tell you why I believe there were no recorded miracles for the first 30 years of Jesus' life because none happened. Had they happened, one of the brothers would have recorded that. So for the first 30 years, God in the flesh is with the people, but he's performing nor miracles. He has relationship with the people, but there's nothing supernatural happening. However, from the time of 30 to 33, in 3 years, there will be more miracles performed by Jesus Christ than could be recorded in the books, all books put together. So the question we must ask is, what changed? Perhaps it's not a what, it's more linked to a who. John the Baptist. After John the Baptist said, "Behold the lamb of God." 30 verses later, Jesus Christ is turning water into wine. And there will be more miracles performed than all of 30 years. Just because there was a preacher that said, "Behold the lamb of God." And it exploded. Jesus had relationship with the people. The people talked to Jesus. The people knew Jesus. but until Jesus was preached, he didn't heal anybody and nobody was delivered. there's just something supernatural that happens when Jesus is preached. OH, I KNOW YOU GOT a relationship with Jesus Christ. You pray pray to him over your cheerios. But let ME TELL YOU, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A SUPERNATURAL HAPPENING, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THE PREACHED WORD OF GOD. YOU CAN'T HAVE FAITH WITHOUT PREACHING.
PREACHING COMES BY HEARING. HOW DO THEY HEAR? THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE A PREACHER. YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A PREACHER. AND THIS PENTECOST WAS LAUNCHED IN A PRAYER ROOM WITH FIRE AND THEN PERPETUATED BY APOSTOLIC PREACHING. PREACHING IS WHAT BRINGS PENTECOST. YOU GOT TO PRAY, BUT THEN YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Titus would say that God manifested his word through preaching. You can read it, you can understand it, but preaching that transformed the word, preaching will transform those words into wonder. Preaching will take the letters and turn them into life. preaching will turn a message into the miraculous. This is what Pentecost is. PENTECOST BEGINS WITH FIRE. THEN IT STARTS WITH A MAN IN IN ACTS CHAPTER 2:14. THE BIBLE SAYS HE STOOD UP. I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, BUT I'M SO THANKFUL THEN HE SAYS HE LIFTED UP HIS VOICE. I SAID, "MAYBE YOU CAN DRINK A LATTE WHILE YOU'RE PREACHING." BUT PETER WASN'T DRINKING A LATTE. HE HAD HIS VOICE LIFTED AND HE WAS SCREAMING AND HE WAS SAYING, "REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF YOUR SINS AND YE It wasn't acted out by an actor. It wasn't pontificated by a pope. Pentecost wasn't prescribed by a doctor. It wasn't sung by a singer. Wasn't spoken of by A SPEAKER. WASN'T TAUGHT by a teacher. Wasn't written by a writer. Wasn't proclaimed by a politician. Wasn't delivered by A DIGNITARY. WASN'T VOTED ON BY A LEGISLATURE. IT WAS PREACHED BY A I'M NOT AGAINST THE OTHER STUFF, BUT I'M JUST SAYING THIS IS PENTECOST AND 2026 STILL NEEDS PREACHING. WE STILL I SAID THE BALCONY NEEDS PREACHING. THE MEZZANINE NEEDS PREACHING. THE FRONT ROW NEEDS PREACHING. THE CENTER NEEDS I'm at camp meeting and I'm expecting to hear some good singing and I'm for it and I'm here for the dancing. I love to dance. I I figure by Tuesday night we'll have all the preachers up here doing circles and I came ready. I came for some Well, it'll be aisle running. It's going to be tight, but we're going to find a way cuz if you're an aisle runner, you find a way. But for this to be Pentecost, I'll say that again. For this to be Pentecost, you you can sing and have A CONCERT. COME ON, SOMEBODY. BUT IF THIS IS GOING TO BE PENTECOST, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A PREACHER. AND I'LL TELL YOU THE REAL REASON I CAME. I CAME CUZ MY SPIRIT NEEDS AN ANOINTED MAN OF GOD TO RISE BEHIND THE DESK AND BEGIN TO PREACH. PREACH, PREACHER, PREACH, PREACHER, PREACH. THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTE FOR PREACHING. THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTE AND WHEN JOHN WENT TO PREACHING, THE MIRACULOUS HAPPENS 30 VERSES LATER. AND IN ACTS CHAPTER 2, WHEN HE FINISHED PREACHING, 10 VERSES LATER, THE LAME MAN'S GETTING UP FROM THE GATE. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, PREACHER? I'M SAYING WHEN YOU GET A PREACHER PREACHING, SIGNS AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES, THEY HAPPEN. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER YOU, PASTOR TUTTLE? MIRACLES ARE GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU'RE DONE? THE MIRACULOUS PREACHING IS STILL THE ANSWER. And it's not JUST ONE MAN'S JOB. IT'S THE GROUP. WE do it together. I say something TRUE AND YOU SAY, "AMEN." GOD IS GOOD. YOU CAN BE HEALED. YOU CAN BE DELIVERED. THERE'S power Paul said the preaching of the cross is foolishness to them going to hell. You can tell the eternal destination of somebody by the way they talk about
I said the attitude towards the preacher and the preaching is a good indicator of where their eternal destination's going I SAID TO US THAT ARE SAVED. IT'S NOT JUST A SERMON. IT'S NOT JUST A SPEECH. IT'S NOT JUST AN ELOQUENT THREE POINTS PUT TOGETHER. IT IS THE POWER. YOU SAY, "I NEED POWER." THEN YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A PREACHER. YOU SAY YOU NEED TO BEAT THE DEVIL, THEN GET YOURSELF TO PREACHING. Come on. But to them that perish, it's foolish. Come on. Well, we we we don't need all that. It doesn't take all that spits slinging. Come on. I mean, that's that's I've got my own relationship. I can hear from God by myself. Come on. Those words sound real spiritual, To the carnal, preachers are employees of a church elected to manage the spiritual social club. Their attitude is, "The preacher works for me. Preacher here to serve me. Preacher's here to make sure me and my kids have some stuff to do. without cursing and stuff. Wrong. The preacher works for God. The preacher serves God. The preacher's not here to make sure, come on, somebody. You're feeling good. The preacher's here to make sure you don't go to hell. Matter of fact, in order for me TO GO TO HEAVEN AND NOT GO TO HELL, I NEED THE PREACHER TO PREACH SOME THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE ME FEEL GOOD, BUT THAT CHANGED MY LIFE. THANK GOD FOR THE But I tell you, we got we got some modern new things now. We got new ways, you know, and I like some of it. Some of it some of it can be new and should be new. Sing unto the Lord new song. But it doesn't say preach a new sermon. His mercy is new every morning. New mercy, but not a new message. Well, brother, he's going to do a new thing. He might be doing a new thing, but not with a new theology. Well, it's a new day. I KNOW IT MIGHT BE A NEW DAY, BUT IT'S NOT A NEW DOCTRINE. I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. I DON'T MIND NOT KNOWING THE NAMES OF THE SONGS, AND I DON'T KNOW THE WORDS, AND I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I'M NOT SURE IF I LIKE IT ALL THE TIME, BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER AT ALL. I I I MAY NOT KNOW THE THE THE NAME OF THE SONG OR THE WORDS TO IT AND HAVE TO WATCH THE SCREEN, BUT WHEN the preacher gets up, there needs to BE A FAMILIAR SOUND THAT COME ON. I'M JUST COME TO PREACH SOME OLDFASHIONED HOLY GHOST TO TO PENTECOST AND TELL YOU WE'RE NOT HERE FOR A NEW REVELATION. WE'RE HERE FOR SOME OLD TRUTHSH. WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE STILL BELIEVE IN ONE GOD. WE BELIEVE IN THE NEW BIRTH MESSAGE. PREACH IT. PREACH IT. I LIKE THE FAMILIAR SOUND OF AN OLD LANDMARK. I LIKE A MAN GETTING UP IN A SUIT AND A TIE AND PREACHING. PREACH TO ME. PRE GET RED IN THE FACE. TELL ME I'M SINNING WHEN I'M SINNING. TELL ME THERE'S GRACE WHEN I'M DYING. WELL, we've got new doctrines. New your new doctrines. That's that's demons in disguise. If I an angel preach any other gospel than Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, Paul said, "Let him be." THAT MEANS YOU SHOULDN'T BE FOLLOWING HIM ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THAT MEANS DON'T LISTEN TO HIM ON YOUTUBE. THAT MEANS, "WELL, I KNOW I LIKE THE WAY THAT THEY ELOQUENTLY MAKE ME FEEL." HEROIN WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. IT'S DEMONIC AND IT'S NOT TRUE. CUT IT OUT OF YOUR I love old sister JL in the Bible. She's a Some people don't think God uses ladies, but don't tell this lady. She is a bad mama. An old Cisora, the enemy of God's people. He's fleeing and he's scared to death. He's been He's He's an evil man. And he he he he c he
he comes into her tent and and he says, "Hey, hide me in here." And she's like, What she kill him with? Anybody remember 10? I got I got a eight-year-old that knows it. I'm glad I came to tell y'all this story. It's going to be great. Me and the 8-year-old going to love you telling it together. Bible says she used the the stake of a tent. A tent doesn't have a foundation. The foundation of a tent is a stake. The stake is what holds the tent up. The steak is what makes sure nothing blows it away. It's not real fancy and it's a not real cool thing. A matter of fact, you don't see much of it because there's more under the ground than on top of the ground. But she didn't go looking for a new weapon. As a matter of fact, she didn't even think it was a I've come to preach to somebody and tell you that this Jesus name message is more PENTECOSTAL IS MORE THAN A GENRE OF MUSIC WITHIN CHRISTIANITY. IT'S A I SAID IT'S A WEAPON. I DON'T KNOW IF I BELIEVE THAT. OH. WELL, then you need TO GET TO JAMES CHAPTER 2. HE SAYS, "YOU BELIEVE THERE IS ONE GOD. THE DEVILS BELIEVE IT AND THEY ARE TREMBLING." IF YOU'VE GOT A DEVIL IN YOUR HEAD OR A DEVIL IN YOUR HOME, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO GO? DO GET YOURSELF A ONE GOD. JESUS NAME PREACHER WHO SAYS JESUS IS GOD. JESUS IS GOD. JESUS I'VE GOT CHAOS IN MY MARRIAGE. ALL RIGHT. HERE I'M GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR YOU. YOU READY? THERE'S ONE SOME OF Y'ALL STILL SITTING WAITING FOR ME TO GET TO A BETTER POINT. IS THERE A BETTER POINT THAN HERE? O ISRAEL. THE LORD OUR GOD IS. DEVIL'S GOT TO FLEE. IT'S NOT JUST A What I like what I like about her is she had an extra one laying in the house. That means when she went to Home Depot she bought an extra one. Well, I only need three. Go ahead and give me an extra one. Well, that you don't you don't have to buy four. It's just three. She said, "Yeah." She said, "I'm just a little What's Well, I don't know if it takes Sunday night, and I I don't know if you have to come to church every day and pray, and I don't know if we have to dance, and I don't know if it takes rolling on the ground. I'm not here for you. I'M HERE FOR ALL THE SATURDAY NIGHT PEOPLE THAT SAID, "I NEED A LITTLE EXTRA." I SAID, "I NEED A LITTLE EXTRA." MAYBE YOU DON'T NEED TO RUN, BUT BUT I NEED A LITTLE EXTRA. MY SON. AND YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT KILLED THE ENEMY? YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT KILLED THE ENEMY? THE EXTRA SISTER IS DEAD BECAUSE SHE BOUGHT MORE THAN THE BARE MINIMUM. HEY, I KNOW THERE'S SOME PEOPLE AND THEY'RE GOOD people and we're going to love them when they get here. They're waiting till Monday night. Some of y'all sitting there holding it in till Tuesday. And you're like, "Oh, you sat tonight people. Y'all just a little. You're just a little." Look at your neighbor and say, "You're just a little extra." But but maybe the thing attacking you NEEDS YOU TO JUST ADD A LITTLE EXTRA. I SAID, "MAYBE THE DEVIL IN YOUR HOME NEEDS YOU to I KNOW YOU PLAN ON GOING CRAZY ON THE LAST NIGHT, BUT BUT LET'S GO AHEAD AND IT'S 2026. LET'S GO A LITTLE BEYOND. LET'S AND DEMONS START TO FLEE. IF YOU'D ADD A DANCE TO YOUR CLAP, YOU'D FIND SOME VICTORY. IF YOU'D ADD AN EXTRA Yep. That's about how long we normally clap at the end of one point. But
I'm with THE PEOPLE OF GOD WHO SAY, "PREACHER, I'm going THROUGH SOMETHING I'VE NEVER GONE THROUGH BEFORE. I'VE GOT I'VE GOT SISTER SLEEPING IN MY HOUSE AND I KNOW IT'S PACKED IN THE HOUSE, BUT WHAT IF YOU JUST BEGAN TO LEAP RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE? I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN OH YEAH, THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT. THAT'S COME ON, FIRST PENTECOSTAL CHURCH. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN SERVING AND YOU'RE WEARY, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING BONUS FOR he preached and there was water and there was a dove. There was a voice. Anybody remember when you went down in the name of Jesus? Your memory must not be as good as mine. REMEMBER WHEN THE DOVE DESCENDED AND THE VOICE OF PURPOSE CALLED YOUR NAME? DO YOU REMEMBER THE VICTORY THAT CAME And after the preaching and the purpose and this and the water and the dove, you know what's next? What's right after the sermon and the the new convert, after the after that dove and water, it's going to be triumph Right after after the preaching, right after the water in the spirit 4 and one of Matthew, he was led up of And you know where the spirit led him? to a wilderness. Being spiritledd doesn't always mean signs and wonders. And the devil's tried to tell some of you that your wilderness is demonic, but he's a liar. Sometimes God will take you into a wilderness to show you how to get victory. And if the devil can convince you that what God is using to defeat him is to defeat you, THEN THE ENEMY'S WON. THE And he is there, the Bible says, to be tempted of the devil after you hear the preaching, the dove and the voice. The devil's not happy. I said the devil doesn't get happy when we get to Holy Ghost shouting and getting victory. and his conversation with his conversation the tempter came to came to Jesus and said if thou be the son of God if you're God so if if you're called of God well if you're really anointed if hath God not said questions. Is it really true? Am I really called? Is this really the way? These are more than ponderings. These are demons in disguise. Well, if you're called, why did this happen? Let me tell you something. People who ask questions of you that you know they know the answer to You know why we dress this way. You know why we look this way. You know why we dance. You know why we shout. Well, I don't know. And you find some weak new convert and get next to them and start saying, "Well, I don't Hey, you better watch out, new convert. If you're SITTING NEXT TO SOMEBODY THAT YOU KNOW KNOWS BETTER THAN TO ASK QUESTIONS, THEN THEY SHOULDN'T." THAT'S NOT JUST FOR YOUR IT TO MAKE YOU FEEL SMART BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN ANSWER. THAT'S A DEMON IN DISGUISE. TRYING TO SEW A SEED OF DOUBT IN YOUR MOUTH. AND YOU OUGHT TO FIND A NEW PEW TO SIT ON. TYPICALLY, THOSE PEOPLE AREN'T UP HERE SHOUTING, DANCING, AND RUNNING. IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF THEM,
Then he appeals to his flesh. He says, "You're going to die, so you need to turn these STONES TO BREAD. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SURVIVE THIS. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH THIS. THAT'S A DEMON IN DISGUISE TRYING TO TELL YOU YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT. YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SURVIVE THIS STORM. I'VE COME TO TELL YOU THE ENEMY'S LYING TO YOU. IT'S NOT TRUE. IT'S YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT. YOU'RE GOING TO SURVIVE THE STORM. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE WOO! YOU OUGHT TO TAKE YOUR NEIGHBOR BY THE HAND AND SAY, "YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT. YOU'RE MAN. The Bible says in verse five that the devil took him up. Look at your neighbor. Say he took him up. We tell our kids the devil will take you It don't start down. It starts high. Oh, I wish I had somebody that the devil It's interesting where he took him up to holy city. The Bible says he said the pinnacle of the temple. looking down at the temple. Now the devil has you looking down at the temple. The same temple you went to as a child. The same temple you didn't want to leave. You wanted to sit and talk to the to the teachers about it. The same temple that the songs that you you you used to run and shout and dance. But now he's got you in a high place. Man, man, the music's too modern and the kids program's not modern enough and the people aren't friendly and the pastor doesn't answer my text in 15 seconds when I text him at 6:00 a.m. in the morning and it's critical and negative and looking down looking down. It's not constructive criticism. It's a demon in Before Satan entered into Judas, the Passover, Judas will sell him out. You know how it started? Judas was looking down. What was he looking down? It was a critical spirit. Say it again. It was a critical spirit. What was he critical about? Two things. Worship and the I think this is a bit much. and it's a bit extreme and I just think it's a little too wild and it's so loud and it's so emotional and I can't believe we're spending all this money. I need to know where the money goes. Well, I mean, I don't think the preacher needs a car like that. I think we should be GIVING MORE HERE. THAT'S NOT YOU TRYING TO BE HAVE AN ACCOUNTABILITY SPIRIT. THAT'S NOT JUST YOU WITH AN OPINION. THAT'S A YOUR ATTITUDE ABOUT THE PREACHING AND THE PRAISING SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHO YOU BECAUSE TO US US IT'S THE POWER OF GOD. The door that Satan came into Judas on was called the door of critical spirit, the door of negativity. And again, the Bible says the devil wasn't done. He says, "Let's go higher." He said, "I'll take you to an exceeding high mountain and show you the kingdoms of the world. I'll I'll I'm going to give you positions and power and money and blessings, but not every every sign of blessing and promotion is because you're spiritual preacher. How do I know? How do I know if it's a blessing or a demon in disguise? Verse nine. And the devil said, "All these things will I give thee if thou will fall down and worship me." How do you know if it's a demon in disguise or a blessing from God? Who did If you had to give up convictions
for the promotion, it's a demon in disguise. If you had to compromise your praise, it's a demon in disguise. if you had to give up your prayer life, it's a demon in disguise. IF THE DEGREE HAS COST YOU THE DANCE, come on. I'M GOING TO PAUSE RIGHT HERE AND SAY, I'M EXCITED. EVERYBODY'S GETTING DEGREES AND WE'RE GETTING ALL EDUCATED. BUT IF IT'S GOING TO COST US SCREAMING AND SHOUTING AND RUNNING AND ROLLING, WE'VE BEEN TRICKED BY THE ENEMY. I'M GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN. I WISH THERE WAS SOMEONE WITH A DOCTOR'S IN DIVINITY THAT WOULD GIVE GOD A DANCE. I KNOW YOU GOT YOUR MASTERS, BUT DO YOU STILL SHOUT? DO YOU STILL RUN? DO YOU STILL ROLL ON? DO YOU STILL GET EXCITED ABOUT THE And I know we got to work. Sometimes you got to do overtime. But picking overtime when you have an alternative, well, I'm going to do it to bless the church. No, that's a devil. Could the best thing you can do TO BLESS THE CHURCH IS COME IN AND PAY YOUR TITHE. GET UP IN THAT ALTAR AND GET TO SHOUTING ON A ON A SATURDAY NIGHT AND GET INTO PRAISING GOD ON A SOUL. I WISH I HAD SOMEBODY THAT SAID, "I DON'T CARE WHAT NIGHT IT IS. I'VE GOT It is way written. Jesus said, "It is written." He said, "Thou shalt worship the Lord." That's right. And him alone shall you worship. Only him. Well, we could we could win more doctors if we didn't do all this dramatic stuff. much. Well, we could have bigger revival if we didn't roll. Come on, somebody. That's why I'm not a fan of us darkening out this thing during the praise time. I don't care if it makes me popular or not. I'm not running for an office. I'm a preacher. I'm going to tell you why we got to keep the lights on. Cuz there's a watchman up here on the wall. And when I Come on, somebody. When I'm UP HERE AT MY CHURCH, I'M WATCHING ON THE WALL. AND YOU KNOW WHAT I'M WATCHING FOR? WHO'S MISSING THEIR SHOUT? WHO'S MISSING THE DANCE? Because it's THE FIRST THING THEY START LOSING. WHO'S LOOKING DOWN ON THE PREACHING? WHO'S SITTING ON THE BACK ROW? AND WHEN I SEE THEM, YOU KNOW WHAT I FIND? I FIND MY WAY TO THEIR PLACE. I GRAB THEM BY THE HAND AND I SAY, "HEY, THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT. YOU GOT TO GET UP IN THIS THING. YOU GOT TO RUN. I WISH I HAD SOMEBODY THANKFUL THAT THE PREACHER DIDN'T JUST Come on, PENTECOST. YOU OUGHT TO LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY, "I'M NOT GOING TO AND WHEN THE DEVIL FIGURED OUT HE COULDN'T GET THE WORSHIP, come on. I said when the enemy found out he could not get their praise. Verse 11, This Hey, young people, multigenerationals, you were raised in this. This This isn't just something we do because it's fun. Exactly. This isn't because we like the song. No. NO, NO, NO. I GOT TO PREACH PRAISE AND WORSHIP INTO THIS GENERATION. I KNOW YOU DO IT, BUT WHEN I'M DEAD, YOU CAN'T STOP DOING IT. WHEN THE SONG'S NOT PRETTY, YOU DON'T Praise and worship. I'm off my notes. But it was not designed If you going to get in to be on the veil you got to have the blood. That's right. That's how the high priest went in. You have the blood if you have been born again of water and spirit, repenting of your sins. Then he had to have a sensor. That's a vessel. Look at your neighbor and say, "You're the vessel." You know what the coals were and where they came from? I said you can't get to the holy of
holies without an altar of sacrifice. What is the sacrifice? Rabbitic scholars would write that all sacrifices ceremonial would cease when Messiah came except for the sacrifice of WHAT IS THE SACRIFICE THAT WHAT IS THE SACRIFICE? WHAT IS THE FIRE THAT TURNS THAT WOOD? Cuz wood is flesh. That's why when Abraham went up with his flesh, he laid his flesh on wood. He put the wood in order. HE ROLLED HIS SON OFF, BUT THE WOOD WAS STILL CONSUMED. SYMBOLIC OF THE FLESH BEING CONSUMED. THAT'S WHY YOU TAKE A BIG BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF OAK WOOD AND PUT IT ON THE ALTAR. GIVE IT 2 HOURS OF A PRAISE SESSION AND THAT FLESH IS COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED. AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT DID WHEN IT GOT IN THE FIRE. IT CHANGES. IT BECOMES SMALLER. BUT THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOUR FLESH GOES BEYOND THE VEIL. THE ONLY WAY YOUR FLESH GOES BEYOND THE VEIL NOT PENTECOST JUST PENTECOSTAL. IT'S ME GOING UPON THEE BEYOND THE VEIL. Then you had to put INCENSE ON IT. COME ON. INCENSE, TEARS, THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE THAT WERE hard and you put those on that fire. The four ingredients of the the incense, tears, depth, pain, sorrow, all of that stuff that's happened to you, you crush it together and you throw it on the fire. Sunday, some of you have had all kinds of hell break loose this last year. But unless you put it on the fire, it's never going to be anything but making you bitter. And some OF YOU, YOU'VE GOT SOME SMOKE, BUT YOU REFUSE TO PUT THE INCENSE ON. THEN YOU JUST GOT A ROOM FULL OF SMOKE. BUT IF YOU WOULD PUT THEM TOGETHER, IT'LL FILL THE ROOM WITH A HOLY AND A DIVINE SMELL OF GLORY. I WISH I HAD SOMEBODY BEEN THROUGH HELL THAT WOULD GIVE HIM A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE. THAT WOULD PUT YOUR PAIN ON THE PRAISE. THAT IS ALL HELL COMING TO YOU? THEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU OUGHT TO DO IS LET HIM KNOW HE'S NOT GETTING YOUR PRAISE. AND WHEN HE KNOWS HE'S NOT GETTING YOUR PRAISE, HE LEAVES. THEN HE'LL LEAVE. BUT NOT only did the devil leave verse 11, the de the devil left I'm not just here to tell you about the devil getting beat up. I'm here to tell you that angels are here. Angels are coming. There's going to be y'all looking at me like I'm hocus pocus. I'm not HOCUS POCUS. THERE ARE angels and they are ministering angels. AND THERE'S SOME OF YOU THAT HAVE COME WEAK. AND I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT BEHIND THE PREACHING AND BEHIND THE WORSHIP IS A VISITATION OF THE ANGELIC THAT THE ANGELS OF GOD ARE GOING TO COME INTO THIS. I'M PROPHESYING IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS. I FEEL IT ON ME THAT THIS WEEK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A VISITATION OF THE ANGELIC. Look at your neighbor. Say, "Angels are Come on, DISCOURAGED MINISTER'S WIFE. I'VE COME TO PREACH A PROPHET WORD OF PROPHECY. I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED. I KNOW YOU'RE WEARY, BUT YOU NEED TO GET UNDER THE UNCCTION AND HEAR THIS PREACHED WORD OF GOD. LISTEN, I KNOW IT'S NOT FANCY. I DIDN'T COME WITH ANYTHING NEW OR MIND-BLOWING. I JUST CAME TO PREACH YOU FREE FROM A DEMONIC SPIRIT AND TO LET AN ANGEL COME AND MINISTER. RECEIVE THE WORD RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE STANDING. RECEIVE IT. RECEIVE IT WITH A And Jesus ministry has been launched. And 40 days into it, I've got 13 minutes. 40 days
into the ministry. 40 days after being baptized. He's been baptized. Had a dove. He's heard a voice. Now he's been tempted. Tempted. Tempted. Then he's got the victory. Then he's been visited by angels. And that's just in about the first month. When you make up your mind to do something for God, some of y'all le left camp meeting last year and the enemy came in and he's been hitting you hard. Hitting you hard. But then it goes from bad to better. Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he's been tempted, tempted, had demonic And even though we're all kind of s feel sad for John, I mean, if you read it, you kind of expect it because any preacher that preaches like that is going to get thrown in prison. I kind of get scared of preachers that are afraid of prison and persecution and Let me say that again. Come on, preachers. We can't be ashamed or afraid of what they're going to say about us on Who cares if you GET CANCELLED? YOU'RE CALLED OF GOD, NOT OF MEN. WHO CAN WE'RE PENTECOSTAL PREACHERS. WE ARE A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH, NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT. I SAID THE CALL ISN'T TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT. THE CALL IS TO BE A PREACH, PREACHER. STOP WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO SAY ABOUT YOU. STOP BEING WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT. THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT YOU. THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO CANCEL YOU. BUT IF GOD IS FOR US APOSTOLIC, WHO IN THE WORLD COULD EVER BE AGAINST He's been hit. His cousin's in jail. Attack on his family. It's one thing when your body's under attack. It's another thing when your kids are being attacked. It's one thing when your mind is frustrated, another thing when your marriage is under attack. Come on. I said it's one thing when it's just you, but when it comes against your father and your mother and your your siblings and your children, I'm preaching to somebody that the DEVIL'S COME AGAINST YOUR FAMILY. HE COULDN'T GET your praise. He couldn't get your worship. He He couldn't get YOU WITH THE PROMOTION. SO, HE'S COME AGAINST YOUR FAMILY. IT'S What do you do when the demons of hell are coming against your family? He came to Nazareth, which he here's what he did, where he had been brought up, and as his custom was, he went into You know what you do when your family's And you WANT TO KNOW WHY HE WENT TO CHURCH? Bible says it's where he had been brought up and his custom was. He had been brought. He had been raised. We go to church Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, prayer meeting nights, special nights, camp meeting nights. Good preacher, bad preacher, happy preacher, sad preacher, long preacher, short preacher, fast song, SLOW SONG, GOOD SONG. IF YOUR KIDS HAVE TO ASK, are we going TO CHURCH TONIGHT? YOU'VE ALREADY LOST THE BATTLE. DADDY, THE QUESTION, ARE WE GOING TO CHURCH TONIGHT? SHOULDN'T EVER BE IN THE VOCABULARY. YOU OUGHT TO SMACK HIM UPSIDE THE HEAD AND SAY, WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT? I REBUKE THAT IN THE NAME OF JESUS. OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO But then, young people, listen to me. He was raised going to church, but it You've got to move your mommy and daddy's traditions to your customs. I said, "Come on, let me GET TO THE GENERATION 25 AND UNDER AND SAY COMING TO CHURCH HAS TO BE SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST THAT YOU'RE DOING IT FOR YOUR MOM AND YOUR DAD. IT'S GOT TO BECOME YOUR CUSTOM. IT'S GOT TO be You want to KNOW HOW HE BEAT THIS DEVIL?" BECAUSE HE HAD THE CUSTOM OF CHURCH. I SAID, "I'LL TELL YOU HOW HE BEAT IT."
WELL, where in the Bible does it say that we have to do all this? Not everything has to be about a commandment. Some things can just be That's our custom. Well, where in THE BIBLE DOES IT SAY WE HAVE TO BEAT ON A BIG DRUM? IT AIN'T IN THERE. BUT WHEN THE DEVIL COMES AGAINST MY FAMILY, YOU KNOW WHAT I FOUND? THERE'S A GOOD CUSTOM CALLED THE BIG DRUM. WELL, WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED THERE'S NO COMMANDMENT THAT SAYS RUN. IT'S JUST OUR CUSTOM, BUT YOU KNOW HOW I BEAT A LOT OF DEVILS IN MY LIFE DOING THE EXTRA. I SAID, I'M JUST I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE WAY THESE PREACHERS ARE WAITING TO RUN. I'M RUNNING ON THIS NIGHT. WHY ARE YOU RUNNING TONIGHT? IT'S OUR CUSTOM. IT'S OUR C I WISH I HAD SOME PREACHERS THAT KNEW ABOUT LITTLE ROCK'S CUSTOM. WE'VE GOT SOME CUSTOMS, PREACHERS. WE DON'T SIT THERE AND WATCH THE SAINTS. WE PRAISE. THAT'S IT. WE ROLL. WHY? IT'S THE CUSTOM. AND THE CUSTOMS ARE WHAT GOT YOU KNOW WHAT? YOUR M LITTLE BOY NEEDS YOUR BACKSLITTING CHILD FOR SOMEBODY HIT THAT DRUM AGAIN. JUST IT AIN'T IN THE BIBLE, BUT IT'S BEEN WORKING FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. IT'S A Hold fast. He said, "Hold traditions are what make families families. Customs are what make us a family. Don't you let the devil doesn't have any guts to preach truth to you preacher in a dark room cuz he's too scared to call out sin in the crowd. DON'T LET THEM STEAL YOUR CUSTOMS. DON'T LET THEM STEAL YOUR TRADITIONS. I'M NOT SAYING WE PUT THE TRADITION ABOVE THE LAW. I'M JUST SAYING THE TRADITION UPHOLDS THE LAW. AND I'M THANKFUL THAT THIS TRUTH IS KEPT SAFE. INSIDE THE CUSTOMS OF PENTECOST. SOMEBODY OUGHT TO JUST KEEP YOUR CUSTOM. YOU OUGHT TO CUT A RUG LIKE IT'S YOUR C. I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED. I'M SWEATING MY FACE OFF. BUT THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE SWEAT. WE PREACH. WE SCREAM. WE GO HOME You got to deal with the demon. Says you don't need the church. You got to deal with the demon. I don't learn anything anymore. I'm not being fed. I know more than the pastor. Nobody loves me at that church. Everybody's against me at the church. Whatever's turning you against the church is a devil. the church is the greatest thing ever going. And you can't say, "Well, I love Brother Tuttle, but I don't LIKE SISTER TUTTLE." WE'RE ONE. THE FATHER, the groom, AND THE BRIDE ARE ONE. YOU DON'T GET TO HAVE JESUS WITHOUT THE BRIDE. YOU DON'T GET TO LOVE JESUS AND NOT LOVE HIS BRIDE. YOU'VE GOT TO LOVE THE CHURCH. IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Well, brother T doesn't mean people at church I'll tell you about church hurt. Anybody Anybody getting more church hurt than but you ain't ever talk. Come on, somebody. People get hurt at the gym. Ain't no gym hurt. Somebody got shot at Starbucks a couple weeks ago.

YEAH, THERE'S SOME MORONS THAT SIN, THAT DO DUMB THINGS, BUT THE CHURCH IS AND IF YOU THINK YOU get hurt at church, you know what Jesus did? He went into church in Luke chapter 4. All the people in the synagogue got mad at him. They rose up, kicked him out of the city, then they took him to a hill trying TO THROW HIM OFF HEAD FIRST. WHY? CUZ THEY WANTED TO kill him. Now, I've been to a lot of church. And I've experienced some mean church people. But, Brother Bass, I ain't never had nobody take me up on top of a hill and kick me over head first cuz they was trying to physically kill me. You know what Jesus did when he got some church hurt? Verse 30, he passed through them What do you DO WHEN THEY SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT YOU? WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE CHURCH DOES YOU A LITTLE WRONG? YOU JUST GO YOUR WAY. IGNORE IT. DON'T POST ABOUT IT.

Keep doing what's been working for you for the last 25 years. Keep doing THEM IN THE CHURCH. STAY IN He's in the church and he's preaching the gospel to the poor. He's preaching recovery of sight to the blind. And there this foul spirit, morally lewd is what that word means. Dirty spirit, immor, it was in the I I don't do dirty jokes outside the church I don't need no memes. I don't need no little clips. Come on, somebody. I don't need NONE OF THAT GARBAGE. It's it's morally filth. It's demonic. And the devil that had tempted him in the wilderness and devils that had tried to steal his worship on the high place. The devil that had tried to tempt him in the desert where he beat him with it is written. It is written. He's just It is written. It is written. But now the devil huh came to church and he said, "You know what? out there in the wilderness, out there at my job. I just have to say it is written out there on when I'M BEING TEMPTED OUTSIDE. IT'S a little different. But now you're IN THE CHURCH. I'M PREACHING TO SOMEBODY THAT HELL HAS GOT SO FEROCIOUS. IT'S BEEN MESSING WITH YOUR MIND DURING THIS

Let me tell you, the most demonic thing you can ever do, And some of you aren't battling porn and you're not battling drugs. I I know we talk about drugs. People are going to be delivered from meth. Truth is, there's probably no one here that needs But there are some people that needs to be delivered from the man. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it. So, somebody watching online, come on, somebody. You You said, you know what? I don't think I'm going to go to camp meeting. You ought to pack your bags. It's Saturday night. You ought to book yourself a ticket and you need to get to I SAID IN THE NAME THERE'S TOO MANY PEOPLE. PUSH YOUR WAY THROUGH THE CROWD. TAKE AN UBER FROM THE AIRPORT, BUT GET No man. I'm done. Music, you can come. No man who puts his hand to the plow and looks back. He didn't say, "No man who puts his hand to the prize." Because you're not tempted to look back holding a prize. You're tempted to look back when you're You ain't tempted to look back when you're harvesting. You're tempted to go back when the ground is hard and you don't feel God and you've got no goosebumps and you got a demon in your ear saying give up. Turn around. It's not real. Why are you doing this? But let me tell you, the only way you can ever have A PRIZE IS TO HOLD ON WHEN YOU'RE PLOWING. THE ONLY WAYS YOU CAN EVER GET A CROWN IS TO PUSH THROUGH WHEN IT'S CHALLENGING. SO, I NEED SOMEBODY WILL TELL YOU. HERE'S I'M DONE. HERE'S WHAT I NEED SOMEBODY TO DO. I NEED YOU TO BE HONEST on a Saturday night. And I need somebody say, "Preacher, I'm plowing right now." Come on. I know you we good at pretending, but it's time. It's Hey, why why fake it till the last night and not get what you need? I say we get the devil knocked out on the first night so Come on. Is there a preacher preacher's wife you've been plowing? Get your hand up. There it is. NOW HERE'S THERE IT IS. THEY'RE ON THE SOME ON THE PLATFORM. IF YOUR NEIGHBOR IF SOMEBODY NEAR YOU HAS GOT A HAND UP, I WANT YOU TO GET OVER next to them. COME ON. THERE OUGHT TO BE AT LEAST TWO PARTERS, TWO PRAISERS FOR EVERY FLOWER. Keep your HAND UP. WE'RE ABOUT TO GET SOME VICTORY. YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET SOME VICTORY ON THE how are we going to do it? We're going to grab something familiar and WE'RE GOING TO HOLD FAST TO OUR customs and we're going to rebuke every demonic force, every lie, every trick, EVERY EVERY CURSE AND SPELL IN the name of Jesus. If you have their hand, I need you to show me. Hold the lift that brother's hand up. Lift it up. All right, nobody's praying alone. Hey, you can so boohoo with the other preachers. We ain't doing that tonight. We ain't doing no boohooing. We ain't doing no sobbing. We're going to be doing booalooing. And we going to be doing shouting. And we got I know you're plowing, but you can't let the devil think he's got your praise. I KNOW IT'S HARD SOIL, BUT YOUR custom is to scream. I know it's heavy labor.
But the foundation was built on Here's what we're going to do. Pause for one minute. Every man of GOD COULD DO Y'ALL MIND JUST LINE it up connect it You know what your demon needs? It needs a preacher. And at camp meeting in 2026, we got a whole lot of them. What I'm going to what we're going to do is I'm going to pray and we have a little custom. We shout one, two, three and then we shout. But the shout that we going to shout tonight, it's going to be an intentional shout. It's going to be a shout of victory and triumph. That means and I've taught some of you this before, but some of you are new and you'll just bust out a yehash when you're supposed to do in a war cry. He Jes GOD'S GOD'S KIND OF PICKY ABOUT HIS INSTRUCTIONS. Just ask Noah and the boat builders that didn't build it like the ark. It matters in the details. He said, "I want you to shout with a voice of triumph." SO THAT MEANS THE SHOUT HAS TO SOUND LIKE one of victory. He didn't say shout. He didn't sh say shout like it sounds like victory when you get victory. HE SAID SHOUT FOR VICTORY BEFORE YOU'VE already got it. AND HERE'S WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE. WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE THE MINISTRY RELEASE A SHOUT THAT'S GOING TO CLASH IN THE AIR WITH THE SAINTS OF GOD. AND there and WHEN THE SHOUT OF GOD'S MEN CLASH WITH THE SHOUT OF GOD'S PEOPLE, THERE'S GOING TO BE AN EXPLOSION RIGHT ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF this building. AND EVERY DEMONIC FORCE and principality is going to fall. And when you feel it, I need YOU TO BREAK OUT INTO A HOLY GHOST SHOUT and a Holy Ghost dance. by the power of the name of Jesus against every lie of the adversary against every demonic force, every lie, every prince, principality, every warlock and witch, against every curse spoken over the people of God. I rebuke you. I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ. And I command and ask to the angels of God to visit us in this househ on the count of three. 1 2 Get with your knees. Victory. Victory. Victory. Victory. That's the woman of God. Shout again. Come on. We've got Italy. Somebody needs to shout cuz we're taking Italy in the name of Jesus. We're taking Norway in the name of Jesus. Keep plowing, preacher. Keep plowing, mama. Keep pushing, daddy. Keep praising. The devil's alive. You're not going to die in the wilderness. You're not going under. The church Some of you are waiting on the demons of hell to flee in order to take your victory. I got to tell you what happened. This week I'm trying to build a building 63,000 ft 16 million and I need about a quarter million to to order the steel. And for the last 5 months I've been saying when we get a quarter million I'm going to order the steel.
Well, it just keeps trickling in. I don't know what it is. I've got three or four million. But it just keeps trickling in and I need it. So, you know what I did? June the 1st, I said, "I'm I'm I hate you, devil. I got some Vidorians here, so they about to find it out." And I met with the church trustee board, and I said, "I think we need to just sign for this deal. Stop letting the devil delay us." And they said, "What are we going to do about that quarter million? We got to have that before it'll kick the loan will kick in." I said, "I don't know." I said, "But let's just sign it and believe that God will provide it at some Yesterday, I'm flying on a plane headed home from South Dakota and I get a text from my secretary. It's a picture from my barber. He don't go to church, but he wrote a check for $10,000. Then there's another picture of a check for $53,000. Then there's another one of a commitment for $120,000. Hold on. You want TO KNOW WHAT THE DATE ON the upper leftand corner was for each one of them? June the 1st. YOU KNOW WHAT GOD IS WAITING ON SOME OF YOU TO DO? SAY, "I'M GOING TO TAKE IT. I'M GONNA TAKE IT. I'm just going to take it. I'm going to feel like I'm going to run when I don't feel like running. You just got to take it, baby. You got to take it, brother. Get out of the house. Come on, mama. Get out. You ain't going to have room tomorrow night. Get out and get your get your praise up. Come on, preacher. If you need a miracle, you need to get your praising God.
