[43:51] Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

[44:03] Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Behold what manner of love that the Lord has bestowed upon us today.

[44:14] Oh, Lord, you will fill my cup till it overflows, Jesus.

[45:14] I'm not a speaker. Everybody knows I'm not a speaker. I just try to obey the spirit when it comes. Brother Van made a statement this morning.

[45:24] He said, have you ever seen a Sunday morning service like this before? God spoke to me and he said, when he said those words, I praise God for a man of God that will listen to the voice of the Lord.

[45:43] And he will tell you where you're doing it wrong. He will rip you up. Then he'll chew you. Then he'll spit you out. And then he will bring you to his chest and love you. That's our pastor.

[45:56] And our pastor's wife also. Our assistant pastor. And our assistant pastor's wife. Aren't we blessed that God brought such great and mighty people to be in our midst.

[46:07] When we really ain't nothing but like a little fly speck on the wall. But see, he loves us so much. God's always been at Riverside.

[46:18] Always. Maybe not as strong and mighty as he was today. But he's been here. And we that have been here a long time, we fail too.

[46:29] Amen. Because this was a mighty service this morning. God met with us today. He met with us. When Kevin spoke, that wasn't Kevin speaking. That was God saying them things.

[46:43] He meant for us to listen and let it soak in. Because you know what? The time is almost over. I know I look at my family and I see so many of them out.

[46:54] But you notice, not that they don't know the way. God promised me they'd come back. And they will come back. Maybe down that old hard road, he'll have to knock them down three or four times.

[47:06] But he'll bring them back. And when he brings them back, he'll bring them back right. Not like we want them to come in one day and out the next. And you know, Kevin's doing a thing this morning that if you've ever seen people really repent, it takes a long time sometimes to really repent.

[47:25] But God was good to us this morning. And he gave us a little soul here. Now he has to be nurtured. He has to be told right from wrong. He has to stand upright like a man.

[47:37] Because he is a man. He's 13. When you get in that teen part, you're a little man. You've got to tell everybody you see. When you're asked. You don't have to push yourself in.

[47:49] And just leave that thing in front of them. And they'll see that smile on your face. That difference in your life. And they'll say, that little fellow, there's got something. All the teachers see it in the kids.

[48:01] They may not tell you that they see it in your child. But they see it. I work with a lot of people that are not Christians. But all you have to do is mention God.

[48:14] And they'll acknowledge that there is a God. And that he will do just what he wants to do. Regardless of our lives, God will lead us. Like Kevin said, God's in control.

[48:27] If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be here. He tells us what to do if we'll listen and obey it. We'll make it. But if we sit back and don't do what we're supposed to do, then look out.

[48:39] You're going to get whipped one way or another. The Spirit said a few things to me this morning. And I like to tell you, you can take them or you can let them go. It's whatever you want to do.

[48:50] I was writing down. Usually, when Brother Van preaches, I hit the high notes. What he says, the scripture, I keep it in my book. And I try to go back over it and see, did I learn anything?

[49:02] Last night, I learned a whole lot. A whole lot. Believe me, I did. But then when I started to write, I wrote the time, the date, and all that up here at the top.

[49:13] And then I said, there was no preaching. And then the Lord spoke to me, and he said, there wasn't. And then I said, oh, yes. Kevin brought forth a prophecy. The Spirit moved by prayer and singing with the anointing.

[49:27] And then he said, I have come today. This is for everybody in here now. Listen close. Don't let this go over the top of your head. Because I believe this as sure as I'm standing here.

[49:40] I have come to fulfill your needs today. That thing you thought would never be, will be.

[49:54] All you have been broken, go forth from this place. Because all the yokes have been broken also. Amen. And give God all the glory.

[50:09] When you leave this place and that thing that you thought never was going to happen, and it happens, say, oh, glory to God. He did it. The last thing he said is, I have met with you all today.

[50:20] Isn't that wonderful? That he met with us. His brother van says. A little old place, not hardly big enough for nothing. He met with us today. You know, I look out in the congregation and I see people out here that I know have had prayers flying through the air for years and years and years.

[50:39] And then I see some that haven't had prayers going very long. But you know, you know what? When he said, all the yokes are broken and I'm going to do a thing today.

[50:53] He met everybody in this place. From little Bethany to Thaddeus to Connie and all those prayers she sent up for that baby Malia. He just didn't say that out of the top of his head.

[51:05] God don't do things like that. When he says, I'm going to break them yokes and them yokes is broke. Look out, brother. Something's going to happen. Tisha. I looked at Tisha this morning. And God said, I'm ready to bless that little girl right there.

[51:20] She's mine. I'm going to give her a job that she's going to make some money. She's going to have to get out there and struggle and struggle and struggle. And not make some money. I'm going to let her make some money. Because she's my child.

[51:31] I know she's not going to spend it wrong. Jeremy, God's got a place in the workforce for you. And he said, it'll run upon you and you won't even know what's there.

[51:42] You'll think it ain't God. But it's God. So be careful when you don't take a job. Be careful. Because that could be just the thing that God's speaking to you. He's going to do.

[51:53] And Sarah, where's Sarah? God spoke to me three weeks ago. And I told you, didn't I? What he said. He's going to do that yet. You might look at your body and think, it ain't going to never happen.

[52:06] I can't never do that. But honey, I know a little girl that was bigger than you. And you know what? God moved on that little body of hers. She got down to fasting and praying. And she said, God, I can't do this by myself.

[52:18] I can't do it. And he said, oh, I know you can't, sister. But I can do it for you. So you hang on to that with all that you've got. Every need that's on the top of your heads in here this morning, that need is going to be met.

[52:32] Oh, Cor and David. Oh, you struggle so long. Oh, you struggle so long. But God now, Cor's beginning to move, isn't he? Oh, praise God.

[52:45] Kim, that man of yours can't stay out much longer. You know why? Because you're hanging in there. And when you hang in there until God says, let it go.

[52:56] And when God says, let it go, it's gone. You don't have to worry. And he'll give you total, complete peace over everything that troubles you. And little old Amanda in the back.

[53:08] Oh, Sister Alma was in the hospital, and she come in that room. That cheered Sister Alma so much. Amanda, honey, that's a great work. God might be trying to deliver you to go into that kind of a work.

[53:18] I don't know. But he said, I'm going to bless that little girl because she blesses me. See, when you bless God, he will bless you. And, oh, you might cry out in the midnight hour.

[53:30] It ain't going just like you want it. But you know what? He'll come forth in that midnight hour, and he'll say, here I am. Listen, I'm right here. Oh, just love him. Always love him.

[53:41] Always love him. Bruce and Missy. Oh, gosh, what a ministry he's got for you all. You, girl, have it. Oh, all you've got to do, Sister, is use it.

[53:53] Woo, and every job you go on, you let them people know what you are. If they fire you, let them fire you. God's got another job better than that one. Remember, anything that's taken away from you from the devil, God will restore it unto you twice over better than what you had before.

[54:10] He don't play around with us, does he? He don't play around. If we do what God wants us to do, he makes it just like he wants it. Teresa, honey, you've had some struggles this last year.

[54:25] I don't know all of them, but I know that God's in the middle of them. He's right in the middle of them. He sees it every time that it don't go right. He sees it. And remember that he's the one that has to straighten it all out.

[54:40] And he will. One way or the other, he'll make it like he wants it. But he don't want you to ever give up. He wants you to serve him. Regardless of how bad it gets, when you think it can't get no better, then he's going to be right there to make it better.

[54:54] Maybe just one little word. I heard a song, and I thought about you when I heard that song. It said, God has a way with words. That's a beautiful song.

[55:06] Just remember that whenever you're down and out, all of you, and you think you cannot go on, remember that song. God has a way with words. Just ask him, give me one little word, Lord.

[55:19] And you know what? He'll speak one little word in your ear. He does it to me all the time. He is such a good God. Oh, how mighty he is. How mighty he is.

[55:30] There's not anything out there that we see that's wrong that he can't make right for us. He might not make it right for the sinner man out there, but he'll make it right for us because we are his children.

[55:43] Delphine, you've cried long enough about your health. It's time you accepted it and said, God, I thank you for my health. I thank you for my health. Don't never say, Lord, I'm down today. Oh, I'm out.

[55:54] Just say, Lord, I thank you for my health. If you're hurting so bad you can't even get up out of the bed and walk. Just say, I thank you for my good health. Thank you for my good health. And you see every day that health will be restored better and better and better.

[56:07] Yes. Do what I told you last night to do or this morning whenever we were talking. You do that every day. You do that every day. Jesus.

[56:18] Tiffany. Honey. Your mommy needs you. You live right in the house with her. When mommy feels bad, you go to her.

[56:31] And you just open your hands and you rub them like this. There will be an oil come up in your hands. And when that oil comes, you put it on your mommy's head. And you tell her how much God loves her.

[56:43] That God's moving in her life. And you're there for her. Because she needs you. She needs you so badly. All of your children. We need you. We need you to come and just tell us, oh, I love you.

[56:56] Oh, you're such a good mama. Even if I'm not a good mama. Please tell me that. Tell all the mamas in here. Because we all love you so much.

[57:07] It's a mighty thing what God's done here this morning. In all of my years of serving him. I don't think I ever felt him in a way like I felt him this morning.

[57:19] And I felt him in such a way. It's like he was right there beside me talking to me all the time. And he was talking to everybody else in here too. I know you felt like he was right beside you talking to you.

[57:31] And he was. Because see, he's everywhere. He's in the air. If we'll just sometime open our mouth, he'll come into our mouth. When you're driving along in a car and things is not going just like you think they ought to go, just open your mouth.

[57:45] And he'll come in. And he'll begin telling you how much you mean to him. Because he is really ours. You know, he's ours. He ain't that world's out there.

[57:58] He's ours. He ain't in your boss there probably. But he's in you. And that's all it takes. When God is in the midst, look out. Look out.

[58:09] Look out. Because when he's in the midst, it might look like a storm raging. But you know what? He's the calmer. He calms that storm down. When we think it can't be calmed down, he just comes right in and calms it down.

[58:23] Sandy, you've cried enough tears over Eric. You've exhausted everything. Almost your health, your strength, your finances.

[58:36] He says, now it's time for you to get up and tell that devil. He's a liar. And he cannot take what God has given to you. And he's not going to take what God's given to you.

[58:48] Because you're going to hold on to it. If you just hold on with a little string, that's really all it takes. Just a little string. And Jackie gives you so much trouble, don't he? Sister.

[58:59] Don't he? Don't you? You know what? Claim him in the name of Jesus. Every time he does something bad, you say, Jackie, you're God's child. I don't think he'd be pleased with that. Claim him.

[59:10] Say, you are God's child. Whether you know it or not, son, you're his. Look at this little thing right here. Did you ever see anybody took that long to repent? He's done repented, though, see.

[59:22] His little mind and heart can't really accept it. He thinks a thunderbolt's going to come down and hit him and say, you're saved. But it ain't. He's already saved, see. Once he made that step up here, he got down there, and he prayed.

[59:34] That's all it took. Because God just wants you to say, oh, forgive me, Lord. I'm so sorry. I repent. And God says, come on in, honey. Come on. You're mine. You're mine. All of you young people out here that don't know God, give him one chance.

[59:48] That's all he wants is one chance. And then he comes in. And when he comes in, you'll never be the same. Never. You may think you can go out and do the same things you did all over again, but somewhere down the road, you're going to have to look back and say, here I come, Lord.

[60:02] I'm coming again. I'm coming again. He loves us so much this morning. It's awesome to me. It is so awesome.

[60:12] And you know, Lisa, that husband, you're set on his rear end too long already. You got to claim him too.

[60:24] Right to his face. Because I told him the other day, when are you coming back to church? He said, oh, one of these days I will. I said, don't make it too long because he's waiting for you to come. He's going to bless you in whatever you're doing.

[60:38] Hang on. It's going to be a long, hard trick, but you'll make it because you want to. See, you want to. You want to. Crystal, girl, you need peace so bad.

[60:53] You know what you have to do to get peace? Ask God. He said, just ask. I'll give you peace. Didn't you say that? Just ask, and I'll give it to you. I love him this morning, and I praise him.

[61:10] And we need to really hold our pastor up. Our pastor has a strong, hard job. He has to always get something ready for here the weekend. Then he has to go home and get something ready for down there.

[61:22] And, of course, he can preach down there what he preached up here if they're as bad as we are. They might not be as bad as we are. Oh, he's real gentle.

[61:32] He said they can't take it yet. But whenever they get a little stronger, he'll give it to them with both barrels because that's the way our pastor is. You may go to him and ask him what you should do about a situation.

[61:44] Well, let me tell you. You're going to go back home and do what you want to do anyway. So all you need to go to him and do it is say, pray for me, brother, that I'll do the right thing. You know, because sometimes we get our heads in too deep.

[61:56] We get to step out into that thing we don't need to step out in. I just praise him today, and I hope I haven't took up too much time. But I would like to say that Sister Pat, you know I love her.

[62:16] I wouldn't hurt her feelings for the world. But she's got to quit pitting this thing on her shoulder here. She's got to let that thing go. When she feels up there and she feels it, she's got to say, that ain't even there, Lord.

[62:26] It's done gone. That's what she's got to do. You know, we have to let God know that we know he has already done the thing that we're asking for. Somebody one time said, don't pray for the situation.

[62:38] Pray for that good thing that's going to come through all of it. I praise him this morning. I love him. I thank God for Kevin that is not ashamed to get down and crawl.

[62:49] I used to do that. I can't do that no more. Anyway, I praise God that he knows my heart. I'm an old woman. People don't believe I'm 72 when I go to work.

[63:01] But I thank God that he gives me my health. You know, I have no pain in my body. I take nothing for pain. And I do a lot of walking. I get tired sometimes during the day.

[63:12] But I thank him that he's always with me. That little old thing right there of mine. That little old girl right there. That child right there. Nobody knows the kind of witness she is at school.

[63:24] I go to her school every now and then and work. They don't. They always come to me. Oh, Miss Martin. You're Leslie's mother. Oh, I had Leslie back when she was in such and such a grave. Oh, did you know she is a wonderful child?

[63:36] Oh, she just serves the Lord, don't she? And she just goes on for God. You know. I thank God. And she's going to see her mama come in too. I mean, it might not be in a great big rush. But it's coming.

[63:48] We just have to wait for it. Connie, your kids are coming too, honey. We just have to keep claiming them. That's all we can do. I thank him that he met with us today. Don't you? I love him.

[63:58] He's such a good God. Thank you. You're not going nowhere. Oh. You may have been to a lot of places and heard a lot of big speakers speak.

[64:13] I want to read you something out of the Word of God. And I want to show you how simple it is but how powerful God is. This is in 1 Corinthians 14, the first four verses.

[64:25] It says, follow after charity, which is love. Follow after love. And desire spiritual gifts.

[64:37] But rather that you prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men but unto God.

[64:48] Howbeit in the Spirit he speaks mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men. Listen to me.

[65:01] Nobody talking. Nobody moving. You think Sister Flo was just up here talking because she didn't say, thus saith the Lord God.

[65:12] Honey, she was prophesying and she called every one of us out. And listen. Listen to what it says here. Listen to what prophesying is all about. Listen to what prophesying is all about. Listen. Every one of us should prophesy.

[65:26] Covet. And the word covet is not a good translation. Desire earnestly with all that's in your heart to prophesy. Let me just read this to you. This is from the word of God. But he that prophesied speaking unto men to edification.

[65:41] Has she edified you this morning? Has she built you up? Has she lifted you up? Has she told you you're going to make it and everything's going to be all right? You're God's child. He loves you. And he's going to work everything out? That she's prophesying.

[65:55] She thinks it's so simple what she does. Honey, it's not simple. It's the spirit of God moving on her to speak to every one of us in this place. Listen. It's to edification and to exhortation and to comfort.

[66:12] That's what prophesying is. Somebody said, oh, I would prophesy. I might make a fool out of myself if I get up there. Yeah, you probably would make a fool out of yourself. But when you do like she did, come up here in all the humility that any person could possibly have.

[66:31] Begin to call people out. What happens when we prophesy? We edify the people in the church. We edify.

[66:42] We build up people in the church. Did she say anything to build you up this morning? How many here would like to have the spirit of prophecy?

[66:54] How many knows that it is so simple that when you see a person's need, you speak the word of God to them? God sees your need, honey. And he knows what you're praying about. And he's going to bring it to pass.

[67:05] Thus saith the Lord. You don't even have to put the thus saith the Lord on there. Because you're a prophet of God. You're a child of God. You're a son of God. You're heirs of God. You're joined heirs with Christ. I see some of you faces of what I'm saying just going right on over your head.

[67:22] Oh, that's not what she was doing. Oh, that's not what Brother Van's talking about. Oh, yes it is. I'll take prophecy on this little mama right here before I'll take prophecy from anybody in this living world.

[67:35] You know why? Because she's not saying this for us to look like she's some big something. Or she's not up here trying to get our money and preach us a little message and hoop-dee-doo and out the door they go.

[67:50] Amen. She spoke comfort. She spoke edification. She spoke exhortation. To every one of us this morning. Mama, don't quit.

[68:03] Don't let them. Don't let back. Don't let them.

[68:35] Don't let them. Thank you.

[69:06] Thank you.

[69:36] Thank you. To come to pass. Humble yourself.

[69:47] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[69:59] And I still ain't done. And I'm doing the worst thing because I love God and I'm doing it for him. And I'm gonna crawl around this thing until I can't crawl no more.

[70:09] I don't know why he chose me today again because I sure ain't worthy Brother Van preached to me probably more than he did to anybody in this church last night I got a had a lust devil on me so bad I couldn't even contain it but it's gone it ain't gonna happen no more I won't have to go back over that sin again and I challenge you if you want to get rid of the thing if you get down and you humble yourself and you crawl before him just try it and see what happens you might think it's stupid the devil will tell you that everybody's looking at you maybe you're getting your clothes dirty you're doing it just for fame just try it and see what happens reach out and touch the board as he goes by you'll find he's not too busy to hear your heart's cry he's passing by this moment just reach out and touch the Lord as he goes by just reach out and touch the Lord as he goes by as he goes by he's not too busy he'll hear your heart's cry he's passing by this moment he's passing by

[73:05] Dear Lord, look down from Thy throne And let Thy light shine around me For I cannot find my way alone So just reach out and touch the Lord as He goes by Your pride is not too busy To hear your heart's cry He's passing by this moment Your needs to supply

[74:12] Just reach out and touch the Lord as He goes by Praise the Lord. I don't know what to tell you. Hallelujah.

[74:33] The angels are camped out. They're around us. The buckets are shaking.

[74:50] I'm telling you, I haven't been able to forget about this. As a matter of fact, I tried last week just to see if I could forget about it.

[75:03] The angels are there. One thing I failed to see and mention last week was the angels with the buckets of blood.

[75:15] These angels are round. Perfect circle. And its buckets are shaking. And this is bigger than we can even know.

[75:28] The point is, these angels are preparing the way for the Lord God Almighty. See, cause God can't come in something that's unclean, unsanctified, not holy. He can't.

[75:49] Last night I felt a cold of that fire hit this church to burn out and to cleanse and to sanctify the way for the Lord.

[76:01] This morning I seen the blood drop to prepare the way. And then the word, the water, came forth and cleansed us.

[76:14] And then the Lord came in in a mighty way. His cabal glory sunk in this place. Pushed me down to the floor more than once. By the time I'd get up, I'd have to get back down. I still feel it.

[76:27] It's heavy. And it's imprinting His law. His will for each and every one of us in our hearts. And we're not gonna leave here like we can.

[76:38] Amen. Hey, cause the angels of the Lord are encamped about them that fear Him. These angels are so big, but yet they're encamped about each and every one of us.

[76:50] And they're gonna be there in everything we go. And the enemy's gonna be on the outside. And we might not be able to see the angels, but the angels are gonna be for us. Because, hey, we're right there and we're in the spot with the Lord thy God Almighty.

[77:04] Everything that we do in His name and to make His name known is gonna prosper. In His name and to make His name known. In His name and to make His name known.

[77:15] It's gonna prosper. Humility. If God ain't been trying to show us a lesson in humility, I don't know what He's been trying to show us.

[77:27] Invisible demonstration. And it's a hidden treasure. The world ain't gonna tell you, they're gonna tell you exaltation. But all through the Word of God it says, Humility before exaltation.

[77:42] It's a law of God. It's a hidden law of God. But once you see it, and God shows you in the fullness thereof, He shows you that it is a power. It is His irresistible oaths, His power.

[77:56] His strength that He'll clothe us with. And we'll walk out. And you know when Brother Gerald was preaching, he said, That guy on the cross. Satan's last attempt.

[78:08] Say, please come down off that cross. He's gonna be out there to get us to come down off of our cross. He's so strong.

[78:19] He's still thick in here. He's thick in here. I felt Him all week. I couldn't even talk half the way down there, because I still was feeling the Lord's presence.

[78:31] I did, Brother Bruce. I felt the Lord's presence. I couldn't even talk. I didn't know what to say. I just wanted to let Him just move. And that's why we had such a good time in the Lord. The Lord was with us on that trip.

[78:45] Oh, He was with us. He cleansed my mind, my brain. He sanctified it to think what He wants me to think.

[78:58] To say, He sanctified my mouth. He's been just a sanctifying us all. My hands are tingling right now. My mouth is just a tingling. My feet are tingling.

[79:13] And it's not just a cold chill. This is a tingle. It's a tingle like a loss of blood tingle. It's because it is a loss of my blood. And He's imputing His blood. And He's doing this to everybody.

[79:24] Anybody that wants it, you just gotta receive this today. Believe it. Believe it. Believe it. That pride inside of our heart has gotta go.

[79:36] It lets us get out of the low place. But we gotta stay in that low place. And I say, just like Kevin, we might not visibly demonstrate it all the time. But we gotta have our heart where Kevin is right now.

[79:48] We might not be able to crawl down the street. But we need to say, God, I'm crawling down the street right now for you. And anything I do, let me be like Kevin.

[80:01] Let me be on the bottom. Let you be on the top. See, the Lord's riding Kevin right now. He's riding his back. He's so thick.

[80:15] I feel him in a mighty way. I'm just gonna... And he's gonna do something. We can't look at one another anymore. I gotta see the Jesus in Lisa.

[80:26] See that she's out there doing it. And I admit, I had my doubts. The Lord put me in my place over that. And I say, that's a good thing.

[80:37] I know it's a good thing. Today, I know. Last night, I know that's when God witnessed it in my soul. And he said, it's a good thing. It's a lighthouse in the middle of a darkness.

[80:50] This place is a lighthouse in the middle of a darkness. Hey, and it is showing forth his light. His radiance. His glory. Hey, he reigns.

[81:02] He's gotta reign on our hearts. He reigns. And I'm gonna declare that. Lord has told me it's time to start up the meetings again.

[81:15] P.A. No P.A. Hey, he'll amplify the voice how he wants it. But I just say, God used me and he's been sanctified. And anybody that wants to, I'm just liable just to be calling you on a day which you don't think, time you don't think, and a place you don't think.

[81:33] And asking you, would you go to a spot with me and would you just pray and back me up in the Lord. Amen. We can witness his light, his glory, his marvelous appearing.

[81:46] We can tell him, look, the kingdom of God is at hand. Amen. Amen. Oh, and it's coming. I done seen his chariot. And it's coming. It's coming to inhabit the praises of his saints.

[82:02] You have to get in this. And of course, we're gonna break it down a whole lot more simpler than this. And I know a lot of y'all don't understand a lot of times what I'm saying. But nobody understood Jesus.

[82:14] I'm not claiming to be Jesus. I want to be like Jesus. And I'm not trying to confuse anybody. Never try to confuse anybody. But when the Lord says something to me, and my hands are tingling right now, you don't understand my body.

[82:30] The angel of the Lord is here. It's not just the angel of the Lord you're thinking an angel. I'm talking about the minister of the almighty God is here in our presence, in our midst.

[82:43] And he's wanting to move in our hearts to change us, to sweep through, to do something mighty in us for his glory and his honor.

[82:57] He's holy. I'm so nervous. I'm so shaky inside. And I just know God just, he's here. He wants to do something. Brother Jimmy was here.

[83:13] I pray for those that reject the truth of the Lamb of God. I feel so sorry for people who come in here and they leave like they came. Or even worse because of some of the doubts and thoughts that they had and the rebukes that came out of them.

[83:29] Towards the truth and the Spirit of God that was moving through this place. our church may not physically move to town to town.

[83:41] But God has a way of bringing the towns to us. I don't even understand. I'm just going to let God explain this to you. He has a way of bringing those towns.

[83:52] He told the disciples to go out and go into a town and go into a house and tell them about Jesus. And tell them the truth of Jesus. And tell them the love of God.

[84:04] And how he loves you. He loves you so much he's given you the fire. He's given you the blood. And he's given you the water. And it's to change you. It's to repent you.

[84:15] It's to turn you around. And get your eyes on Jesus and Jesus only. If we look at God in the big picture, he's a big scary thing. But if we can see Jesus and Jesus only in the midst.

[84:27] Remember I said the word in the midst. It's in the midst. Because God splits it. And it's through it. And it's through it.

[84:39] And it's through it. And it's through it. And it's through it. And it's through it. And it's through it. And it's through it. And it's through it.

[84:59] oh and they're here for a while until it's time for them to move on or time for us to move on whichever you want to look at it if you got a spiritual eye you can see this and we're moving and we shake that dust off and we hate to do it oh Lord we hate to do it but these buckets the same buckets of blood, water and fire this is God's love God has a two-fold love His mercy and His wrath His pleasure and His pain and it's got to stay balanced because God is balanced God is and this can be our blessing or can be our wrath I choose blessing today we choose blessing we have to choose blessing I don't even think the choice is up to us anymore we just got to do it

[86:06] His will I'm finding out that it's no longer I that lives it's Him that's going to live through us our eyes are crucified today they're crucified in the name of the Lord He's holy He's righteous them angels cry holy back and forth in front of the throne holy He's holy He's sanctifying us feel the drops coming down because He's sanctifying us right now the Lord God Almighty will sanctify you just reach up and touch it and grab it grab a hold of it that thing that place you've been wanting to go in God to do His will and to do His work He's sanctifying it He's sanctifying your purpose right now He's sanctifying your will because them buckets is doing this and angels they want to minster it and they want to pour it out but they got to wait for the Lord God Almighty but see it's in God's will that they're even anxious to dump it out because that's what's causing the shake and that's why God's people is getting see those drops are hitting us and they're ready and they're getting us ready

[87:27] He's giving us the tools to make His bride ready because the Lord God is coming soon He's coming soon people say I've heard that all my life I've heard all my life too that Jesus is coming soon and at times I even scoffed at it but I'm not scoffing now oh the chiefest of sinners is not scoffing anymore He's out there saying look I was wrong I'm out there going to say I'm wrong He is coming He's coming soon and we're getting out of here because God is manifesting His Spirit and His glory and His light and His power in a mighty way I felt that sword come through here last night and it spiritual adultery as well as natural adultery spiritual fornication giving yourself over to other gods other things that are in our life that we've been holding on to the besetting sins that we've been holding on to they might be inward they might be outward who cares where they are but God said hey

[88:38] He's doing a quick work I've heard that word since I've been in church He's doing a quick work God has ways of exemplifying and exampling Himself before it all comes in the way because when these buckets dump this is this is a sea a sea of water brother man because see on the new earth it's going to have to be cleansed right it's going to have to be cleansed by the water by the fire and the blood because that's where God's going to inhabit in the new city that's what these angels are I thought they was just over Lee's Lane I got a rebuke on that this is bigger than that thought they're standing there waiting for the order just like Gabriel was standing there when Jesus was about to be born into the flesh the same is happening now

[89:46] I'm not doing this to put on a show I'm not this is Jesus Jesus has came in our midst today and he's ushered in the presence through his name that name above all names we can practice this now we can practice this presence now so that we can help our others throughout all eternity God loves us he's going to get his name out of us he's going to get that God DNA out of every one of us even if he's got a sentence to hell to do it but I choose not to go to hell because I feel like I've already been halfway there and back and it hurt but you know what I praise God every day of my life for that glimpse of hell for that vision of hell that he gave me that caused me to

[90:50] I mean I was down in it I was lowered in it and you got to have a vision of hell but then all my even more mightier than the vision of hell is when you turn around because you see that vision of hell it puts it puts the fear of the Lord in you to the point to where you turn around and you look at Jesus and you say you're all I need you're all I want you're all I need you're all I want keep doing this thing in me God don't stop I think sometimes that spirit rises up and says you got it you got it I say I rebuke you Satan in the name of Jesus because I ain't got nothing until I got the new city I ain't got nothing until I'm in Jesus' arms Amen
