Suddenly

hallelujah thank you Jesus thank you Jesus would you like to turn to the scripture of Malachi chapter 3 and verse 1 thank you brother Mangan for asking me to come thank you Pentecostals of Alexandria staying in a Saint's home this few days I get to see firsthand the dedication and the commitment to this meeting that grips every fiber and being of this church and so from all of us to all of you thank you amen thank you thank you for this meeting amen I sure would like to give glory to God here today but I need your help will you help me Malachi chapter 3 and verse 1 behold I will send my messenger and he shall prepare the way before me and the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly would you say suddenly come into His Temple even the messenger of the Covenant whom ye Delight in behold he shall come saith the Lord of hosts my message is simply this suddenly that's all right Sly Lord Jesus we thank you for this day we thank you for this opportunity God we ask that you would help us to share what you have given to our heart to speak beyond our ability God Hallelujah to do what you have directed according to your will and purpose and we'll give you all the honor and the glory in Jesus mighty name and everyone said amen you may be seated waiting longing lingering tearing yearning hoping weak days months years Generations centuries millenniums and still no savior life never changed much you were born you live you work you die you spend your life in the field sleeping on the ground the craft of sheering had not changed much in 4,000 years then suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God and saying glory to God in the highest and on Earth peace Good Will toward men oh The Majestic power of God's suddenly the infilling had been prophesied for centuries Ezekiel said and I by the Lord I will give them one heart I and I will notice not yet I will put a new spirit within you and I will take the Stony heart out of their flesh and will give them a heart of Flesh Joel said and it shall come to pass afterward not yet afterward that I will pour out my spirit upon All Flesh John 7 Jesus said come drink The Living Water not yet Acts chapter 1 and ye shall receive power after not yet go and ter in Jerusalem until not yet but then at the crowning Pinnacle of man's greatest anticipation and God's greatest preparation suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as a mer

Mighty Wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting suddenly and suddenly suddenly suddenly started appearing everywhere Saul of Tarsus Archen enemy of the way and suddenly there shined around him a light from heaven Paul and Silas persecuted imprisoned suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken the Majesty the power the glory of God suddenly I'm happy to report that we have suddenly that we've had a rash of suddenly in Singapore Po Asia Matthew CH a young man of only about 20 years old had a slow painful fusing of his backbone called anglio spondilitis The Suffering is unimaginable and he suffered and he suffered and he suffered but sly one Sunday morning prayer was made and this man who the doctors had documented that he would not get well but God suddenly stepped into the picture and he was instantly and totally healed by the power of God suddenly the Hing family for three years hadit a dark secret from the church for more than 40 years their father had been an opium addict they never told even me no one in the church knew because in the Chinese culture it was too shameful and it was too hopeless to even bother but a medical crisis brought all of this into the open and the beauty of things being brought in the open is now the people of God could pray and suddenly suddenly after 40 long years God stepped into the equation and in only two and a half weeks this father was filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost and baptized in jesus' name completely delivered from a 40-year opium attic suddenly Jakarta capital city of the world's largest Muslim population a stronghold difficult place to pray people through to the Holy Ghost but suddenly suddenly humbled by riots and a currency crash political and social rest and upheaval and suddenly hundreds are receiving the Holy Ghost in Indonesia in one service I saw a Forbes Magazine billionaire a Chinese Spirit medium who had practiced witchcraft for 32 years and one of the city's leading drug uh pushers and drug dealers I saw these three among many others bow their knee their face to the ground in Repentance and rise to their feet and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost suddenly suddenly God is doing things in a majestic way that it's hard for us to comprehend in Sabah East Malaysia Christianity came to Malaysia more than 250 years ago but the rungus tribe never let Christianity in NE they never allowed a preacher to come and preach to them disease poverty false gods had decimated this primitive tribe until only 400 of their race ex now exist on the face of the Earth but

suddenly after 250 years they invited an Apostolic preacher to their Island and this year more than 50 were suddenly filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost God said from every Kindred every tribe every people that he's going to have a church chur that we've got to believe in God suddenly China hard hard to get a foothold in China Beyond Hong Kong and and the work that our valant people have been doing in Canton but suddenly suddenly in the last two years two Apostolic ladies one of them from Singapore these two ladies have personally prayed through more than 400 Mainland Chinese and I tell you with authority that these 400 are praying hundreds more through to the baptism of the Holy Ghost it has been validated that there are thousands yay thousands upon thousands that are being baptized in Jesus name in China it's not here hey it's the real thing suddenly yes sir for 5 years we waited for the right time for our Filipino assistant to go fulltime I counseled him to quit his job at huitt Packard and that the church would apply for him a Visa three months and six rejections later we were two weeks from his deportation suddenly God spoke and he said apply a seventh time and you won't have to do it again now I had just just listened to the tape of brother Arnold preaching a little taste of honey and so I uh I I I took his message and I improved on it a little bit I I can see how much you believe that and I I I did have common sense enough I I changed the title and I call it the power of preemptive Praise In other words thanking God before it before it happens so I I got me a I got me a party hat I had the Hat I had the horn but I had more I had a jingle and so I got in front of our congregations and I had a tambourine okay and uh I I stood there and uh and and I'm not a musician you'll know that in just a second or a singer and I stood there and in front of all of God's people I sang a little jingle Jo Do's been rejected six times yes it's true but Seven's the perfect number this time time it's going through they went wild they were singing and dancing and shouting because God and the pastor had a word from the Lord now you may see now that was on that was on Sunday the phone rings on Tuesday and sister Sandra Whispers across the telephone line I'm sorry brother Willoughby but Doge's Visa has been rejected the seventh time in my calm reassuring man of God voice I said don't worry sister Sandra God's in control he will take care of us us thank you for calling and that was the first lie or that was the last lie I wasn't real thankful but that's what you're supposed to say and so I hung up the phone calmly and gently and then oh God what are you trying to do to me

Barb my wife comes in the office she hears the commotion she said what's wrong with you I said Barbara I've ruined DOI and Nancy's life we leave for deputation in 10 days and we got 600 Filipinos without a pastor and it's all VY they don't have a clue what I'm talking about they they I can see their little Halos glowing brother Mangan they they've never had these experien but for all of us carinal I'm sorry to reveal that missionaries are that way but I I won't speak for all of the missionaries just and so uh and and I I I tell bar Barbara I didn't know that when God said we wouldn't have to apply again wouldn't have to do it again it was because that DOI and Etsy were getting kicked out of the country remember what God Said do it the seventh time you won't have to do it again I thought that meant they were staying now I'm a little confused whether it's but part of the church is never going to listen to me I'm a false prophet and my wife said she looked at me with a with a Steely glaze and she said I've got one question for you Steve willby what are you more concerned about doy and Nancy are your reputation o I hate it when that woman ask those kind of questions she's supposed to be a help me she's supposed to help me not hurt me so she left she left and and and and and I slid back to the floor and I said well God since she brought up the subject what about my reputation and God said what are you talking about when I found you you had no reputation he said I've got seven words for you boy get up go teach your Bible study I I was scheduled to teach a Bible study that afternoon I was thinking about calling in sick cuz I was sick of not knowing what was going on so I I went it was a rather uneventful Bible study the teachers seemed to be a little distracted at the end of the lesson I asked if there were any questions and a little Chinese lady Monica speak something she says uh I don't have a question about the lesson but I I I I am having difficulty with my faith and I was wondering if you could explain to me about faith honest I thought I thought you poor lady of all the days God elbows me and he says now he says be honest tell her that some days faith is a struggle and today was one of those days for you excuse me I'm not real sure that's a good uh confession for the pastor to make in a Bible study God says do it so I tell her she asked why and I tell her about doge7 rejections by now I'm feeling silly and self-conscious and I turn to talk to someone else in the Bible study and out of the corner of my eye I see Monica and James her husband uh whispering and talking now I don't know what they're talking about but I do know who they're talking about James politely clears his throats and I'm thinking here it comes here it comes oh God here that they're going to drop out of the Bible study and and and and and in the midst of my supposing what they're going to say he says excuse me pastor but but I think I can help now orientals are polite they can always help don't always mean anything does it brother C did you help me and I'm thinking help help me now there's a novel thought you know I'm thinking and James you don't have no idea the magnitude of my problems and besides that have you forgotten who's helping who I'm the one with the chart and the Bible study notes well it had been a bad day folks and and but in my least condescending voice I said oh and how might you help me and he said you you know with that dogee fella okay go on he said I believe you know

that I'm a major in the Army M and it happens that my Colonel with whom I am very good friends just quit the Army to take up a new posting and my good friend is now the com controller of immigration no really he's got my attention now don't don't don't fool with me now this isn't the time to be playing with my emotions yes he says and and and he's a Christian all right and if you'd like I'll give him a call I'm sure he'll be interested in your story and will want to help if I'd like I'll drive you now folks I ask you is it a coincidence that out of 3 point 2 million people in Singapore that I just happened to teach a Bible study to the best friend of the com controller of immigration is it luck that two weeks later Do's rejection was reversed is it accident honey you can call the psychic line if you want consult the stars and the planets but why go to the Stars when you can have a relationship with the Creator and the maker of the Stars if you'll trust him suddenly suddenly there's an answer suddenly you can see his plan but there is a you maybe see there's a here's where the message turns serious that was the easy part and there's a secret to the the suddenly this this is just small suddenlies God's got some big suddenlies in in his mind in uh in Zachariah says thus sayith the Lord of hosts in those days it shall come to pass that 10 men shall take hold out of all the languages of the Nations even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew saying we will go with you for we have heard that God is with you the potential of the scripture says that one of us that we can win 10 they're believing that in Ethiopia that every saint can win 10 people we're we're we're saying if we can just win one but God's got bigger suddenly than that but there can be no sudden savior without a messenger and there can be no messenger without a message and the message of the messenger was simple repent we want the Heathen to repent but repentance starts in the family in God's covenant family if God's covenant with Abraham was to be fulfilled there would have to be a Revival of confession in every successive generation there would never be a Jericho or a Jerusalem without Jacob's hip being jerked out of joint before there could ever be Revival in Corinth or Ephesus there had to be Rev Revival in Jerusalem and in Judea the Savior could not suddenly step into the temple without John the Baptist preaching repentance to God's covenant family we are God's people and judgment must began in the house of God I believe that we're all looking for a suddenly Jacob needed a suddenly he thought that his problem was Esau but the issue wasn't external it was internal because God asked him what is your name you're you're asking me my my name it was the last question that Jacob wanted to answer why because it revealed his character I imagine him saying my name Jacob jacob jacob jacob jacob Jacob liar cheat con man deceiver there are you

happy I said it hope it makes you happy now you know who and what I am I I I believe God said good now we're making progress why because there are some prerequisites to suddenly there would be no suddenly number one there would be no suddenly with without soldiering after 2 years in Singapore good things had were just starting to happen and we got attacked and things in that young group of Christians things got really really shaky and God spoke to me in my desperation and said uh that if I'd meet him for 40 sunrises and be there for prayer that he'd help me through the problem was I'd never seen 40 consecutive sunrises you y'all didn't catch that because y'all spiritual and get up do all that stuff I I I could do it for one or two but for 40 but I but I did I was desperate and God said he'd help about 20 days into this 40 I'm returning from a magnificent about three- hour prayer time there with God and I'm walking along brother anony and I'm walking along back to my car from from from this park this beautiful beautiful Park and me and Jesus it's almost literally like we're walking along we're just good buddies and I'm walking along arm and arm like this and and and suddenly Jesus speaks to me and he says he says Steve willby how would you like to just kick back and relax for a few days no worries no problems I it was so real that I spoke out loud in this busy partk I looked to Heaven I said oh God that would be wonderful and I'm waiting for this big Mighty hand of God to come down on my head and put put a tremendous vacation blessing on me W yes Lord I I'm feeling that and while I'm waiting for this Majestic presence to put this blessing on me God says well it ain't going to happen first every time I let up on you you get lazy and sloppy second this I'm a lover not a fighter attitude has got to go you are neither most the time you're a chicken now don't ask God his opinion if you don't want to know he went on to say son this ain't the loveboat there are no battleships called the USS vacation Hallelujah This Is War and you're a soldier and soldiers fight nobody said that the front lines was fun but that's where the work gets done I promised Revival but do you really think that these Buddhist and Hindu and Muslim Devils entrenched for a thousand years years are going to surrender to a folks God just asked me to remind you that fighting is a way of life we've got to quit our whining and quit all of this poor mouthing and it woe is me and why is this and why is that you don't get this job done unless you're willing to be a soldier second thing that God was telling me about the prerequisites of suddenly is that you got to learn to be a servant and which is actually the two are tied in servant leads to Soul winning Soul winner how do you know if you're a servant somebody asked shared this said how do you know if you're a servant if you got a servant heart get treated like a servant and don't get irritated about it I thought I knew that lesson but then God sent me if you really want to know your soul-winning and your servant quoti ask God to send you an aim worker like he did me Jenny Miller IID preached one Sunday morning in Singapore at the hotel and and uh it must have been a pretty good message 10 10 people came to the altar man I thought thought not bad not too bad I mean 10 Chinese is like getting a 100 of some other kind of

folks and so so I thought well I I'll just go down there and I'll just polish this off by praying them through the Holy Ghost you know and so I went down there and I prayed for number one and she was kind of carnal and didn't want it and number two and and I started working my way down the line and I got down to number nine and none of them people wanted the Holy Ghost and so I'm I'm working on number nine but by now I I I didn't you know I didn't think it was going to fly but anyway it's the thing you're supposed to do I look down and Jenny Miller is standing at number four and just about the time I looked number four spoken speaking in tongues as we're three 2 and one so I stepped back I said well okay just go ahead you got the floor honey go ahead but I I while while she was finishing the job I I I said to God I said God I don't think you understand the hierarchy of things around here I me missionary she aimer it'd be real kind of you if when they get the Holy Ghost you'd let it happen when this hand gets on their head and God said are you interested in knowing why this is working out the way it is and stupid me I I gluton for punishment I said go ahead why and God said you don't know me like she does that started me on a quest to become a soul and a missionary began kneeling at the feet of Sister Jenny Miller who didn't have but about a 10th grade education but she knew God in such an intimate Way Beyond what I did that I found out that I could learn something by being servant to some other people and that I could learn how to be a soul winner beyond anything that I had ever dreamed or imagined God want to take some of you to the school of learning but you're not going to get it by those that are over you sometimes you're going to have to get it by those that are under you thirdly there will be no suddenly without silence brother brother Merl Cornwell should be preaching the rest of this cuz he he can make you he can cut your arm off and make you smile while it's happening make you like it there will be no suddenly without silence now what do I mean okay let me put it in Tennessee vernacular just learning how to keep your mouth shut my mom and dad never hear me never not once in my entire life criticized the pastor the church the district or a saint in the church I'm 43 years old and I've never heard it I grew up wonderfully innocent and trusting my parents led me to believe that every member was a certified Saint and that every preacher was a hero and then I got to know preachers and I walked Among Us walked among you and I'd say to you wow isn't brother so and so such I mean such a great man of God he touched my life but unlike my parents you can't stand for me to be blissfully ignorant of ministerial Humanity you smile an uneasy smile oh I I I I've been so guilty of this why do you think I would preach about it because God's been working me over and we say yes but did you know I've got news for all you fine folks I've heard butts on the best of you now you wouldn't for a million dollars have a String of Pearls but we've got a string of butts a mile long which are a thousand times more ungodly it's like the rosary but but but but but

but but but but but by the time you get through with your butts I've got a dilemma he whom moments ago I thought was a powerful man of God now I'm concerned if he's even saved the work in Singapore is beyond me and I've got to have help so I developed a novel approach to getting speakers number one I pray and sincerely ask God for Spiritual Partners can you imagine the Simplicity of that I had people ask me how do you get all these big Nam people to come and it's not just bigname people but I mean all these powerful people I should say and and I've asked them have you asked no I I just know there you're too busy to come as your faith is number two when when God shows me who one of these partners are and most of the time it's people I don't even know I've never personally met but I tell you what I do I Ambush them with vision they're not interested in my needs but they're interested in where I'm going and if I think they can help me get there and so I've had arovo and bustard brother Cole the dowes flowers Freeman Haney Hernandez hiball Kilgore mallerie Stark Stone King tamel trapon Wolfram and R and I'm sorry if I forgot all the rest of you that came and I didn't write it down but working together we've had 2,284 received the Holy Ghost In The Last 5 Years in Singapore together partnership taking what I learned Lear from these men of God I've taken the gospel outside of Singapore with 68 mission trips and teaching training seminars and of these 68 trips about 15 were Revival meetings that resulted in 3,600 receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost that means that for the last 260 weeks that we have averaged 23 Souls a week receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost now I know that's not much to brag about but you don't know where I came from timid faithless backward until these men got a hold of my life but now I walk into monado sui Indonesia armed with a promise that God had said that hundreds would receive the Holy Ghost but riding from the airport they show me what they said was the world's second largest Satan Church it was founded by Anton L the guy from in in in America and it was called the seat of Satan of Southeast Asia and the people they're they're they're telling me this they had just found out that week that their Pastor was on their the saan church's death list now you may take that ly but I'm telling you Indonesia is eat up through and through with withcraft and sorcery and demonology and so they said it and you know what I said I I I waited till I got in front of the whole congregation and I about about 3,000 people and I said I said I hear that your pastor's on the on the hit list I said here's my opinion great Hallelujah glory to God they looked at me like I was brain damaged I said I shouted because what Pastor is worth his salt unless he's on the devil's Hit List I'd be more afraid if he wasn't on The Hit List then if he is and so we proceeded to have 284 people receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost brother Cole I was not scared and I'll tell you why because I remembered Billy Cole with fire in his eyes saying I'm not scared of the Devil he's scared of me when they're showing me the Satan Church this is what I'm this is what I'm remembering because brother Cole said because I am an ambassador of Jesus

Christ let me he hear me it took some flesh to make the word of God become real to me now I know you're just supposed to read it in the book and believe it but I tell you it's something different when you see those fiery eyes declare that the devil is no match for us and that if we will believe and not operate under a spirit of fear that we can do great exploits for Jesus Christ quit saying but this and but that but none of this would happen if it had not been for these who made me what I am none of them would have come to Singapore if I have listened to the advice of most because somebody somewhere has disqualified every one of these Ministries I've got a request we took prayer requests here's my request will you please shut up and quit telling me who hates who and why this ministry and that Ministry is no good please would you please let me be led by the spirit and allow the diversity of the body to minister to me and to mine please I've got a suggestion next time we're in a repentance service and all we can think to do is Polish our halo could we please grab God by the neck and wrestle a bit with our attitudes and character and lack of Brotherly Love if you're going to have suddenly you're going to have to we going we we we've got to learn to keep our mouth closed when it should be closed and last before suddenly you're going to have to learn support I'm talking about partner ship and teamwork there would be no suddenly in Singapore and there would be no suddenly anywhere if it were not for two great men what let me take that back anywhere this I got ahead of my there would be no great suddenly in Singapore if it was not two great men in my life number one is brother Billy Cole and recently brother ston king after making myself a servant and student to these men instead of 10 receiving the Holy Ghost has had been my pattern of my Ministry suddenly 50 than 100 than 300 and I wanted to tell you about their impact and influence on my life and I thought that you would Rejoice but you didn't instead I hear comments well I've here you had Stone Queen preach for you now there are dozens I'm sorry I may be too young too inexperienced to be preaching this okay but there are dozens that have the potential to lead an Ethiopia type Crusade but you'll never do it without a team and you'll never have a team if you're not careful because you don't have a clue how to be a team member now how do I know because when I became a member on brother Billy Cole's team you didn't call me a team member you said I here you joined the Billy Cole bottom kissing Squad when I got invited to because of the times you said oh so you got invited to because of the Mangin now brother Cole I apologize brother Stone King to the all the Mangin for saying this publicly but this has got to stop if there is ever going to be a suddenly it cannot exist Among Us brother Cole please don't don't let some brainless loonies discourage you by criticizing your ministry stay with us

love us continue to Mentor us and teach us there'll never be a day we don't need you they don't know what they're talking about I want suddenly I'm talking about partnership teamwork Brotherly Love standing beside one another doing together what we can't do alone after years I ask you and I'm almost through why did God beat the dirt out of Jacob in an allight wrestling match I'll tell you why because he loved Jacob too much to leave him the way he was after years of lying cheating deceiving and conning Jacob came home dragging a throbbing disjointed leg it wasn't a pretty sign Hallelujah bless you Lord hallelujah you think he was pretty when he came home you think he looked good when he came home I'll tell you Tuesday night it occurred to me that it was not the will of God for me to go home looking pretty but it was the will of God for me to go home changed suddenly suddenly something has happened to me that's never happened before suddenly suddenly God has stepped in like he never did it before Come Holy Ghost work on me move me change me mold me make me several several of these messages have been have been about getting us straight with God you can remain standing now I wonder if God's asking us to get straight with our brother God's told me that Singapore can impact A Million Lives I'm from Finley Tennessee population 900 million does not compute in this one megabyte brain of mine all right but here's what I want to say I have spread my dreams under your feet tread softly because you tread upon my dreams in Jesus name a
