[0:00] Brother Jay Boyd will be preaching and singing at the Mead County Midwinter Camp Meeting at the Farm Bureau Building in Brandenburg, Kentucky on Fairway Drive, February the 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st.

[0:16] Starts at 7 p.m. nightly. 17th. That'll be next Sunday. No, Monday. Monday, Monday, Monday. Start on Monday.

[0:30] Yeah, 15th is Saturday, 16th is Sunday, and 17th is Monday. And that was him playing that piano. Boy, couldn't he play that thing?

[0:47] I told Sister Kathy, man, if I knew he played like that, I would never get up there and beat on it and was trying to sing Power of the Blood or something, you know. Amen? Amen. Hallelujah.

[1:00] I preached here a while back, and it seemed like, you know, different things happened, and we're all trying to get to the new city. Amen? And I preached on the four manifestations of the Holy Ghost.

[1:15] Amen? Most of us, we get the speaking in tongues, and we think, well, I know all about it. And I beg to differ with you because I've been speaking in tongues 35 years, and I don't know all about it yet. Amen?

[1:27] I found out that there is depths. There's a tay home in God. Hallelujah. And I'm saying that there is a way to the new city of His Word and of His Spirit that we have not yet even began to tap into.

[1:38] Amen? I like that word, tay home word. You know why I like that tay home word? Because don't y'all know what it means? It just means deep. But it sounds more spiritual if I say, into the tay home of His Word.

[1:52] Amen? To the depths of His Word. Can somebody shout amen? Amen. Hallelujah. And the four manifestations of it, get back here where I was going to in a minute, are being baptized with the Holy Ghost.

[2:06] Now remember this, for everything that the Lord's got a positive of, the devil's got a negative of. Amen. Now Brother Gerald, he is a preacher. He got up here and he read about four passages. He never looked at his Bible again.

[2:16] Amen. I'm not much of a preacher. I like to teach. When you leave here today, I want you to know that you've learned something that's going to help you on down the road. Amen. Hallelujah. That there can't be a positive without a negative.

[2:30] Amen. How many knows that God is positive? And everything, and the Bible said every good and every perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights, in whom there is no bearableness, neither shadow of turning. Amen. Every good thing comes from God.

[2:42] Every good thought comes from God. And every negative thought and every negative thing that happens is coming from the devil. Amen. There's a baptism. There's a real, literal, actual feeling of the Holy Ghost.

[2:53] Amen. Amen. The, uh, uh, baptizing you. Anybody ever been baptized? You can be baptized on the inside or outside? Well, honey, there's an inside baptism also.

[3:06] There's an outside that the whole world goes through. And that's as far as the religion goes. It's on the outside, but they ain't got it on the inside. Amen. Amen.

[3:17] The Bible said that the Jews served the Lord, and because they had the written word on the outside, but the Gentiles served the God because the word was written inside upon the pages of their heart. Can you say amen? So I preached on the baptism.

[3:30] I'm not going back there again because I can just preach on it every weekend, but I need to go on if I'm ever going to get through. Because, how many remembers when I preached on the prayer shawl? How long has that been?

[3:44] The other one said seven years. Several? Somebody else want to take a guess? My wife said three. I just told you about it in 99.

[4:00] I actually preached the actual message in 1993. Ten years ago. Because, I'm going to tell you how I know this, Sister Pat.

[4:13] Because I was sitting in there studying yesterday, and God began to move up on me about the prayer shawl again. And so I got it out, and I looked at it, and then I said, well, where's my notes on the prayer shawl?

[4:25] And so I began to go back through my tablets. I had to go all the way back, and I got them numbered to 1993. Amen? I couldn't believe it. Can I just give you all some revelations?

[4:38] I study a lot of things when I'm in my office. I don't just study one thing. I study a lot of different things, and most of them you never get to hear of. But let me ask you something. Who got the revelation that Jesus Christ, or that Jesus was the Christ?

[4:50] Can anybody tell me? Who got the revelation? Who? Where's that at? Matthew 16 and 16. Who'd it been to say that I am?

[5:01] Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Well, I got to thinking about that. So I want somebody to help me here real quick. You go to John, the first chapter, 40 and 41.

[5:14] You got a Bible? Can you read? Go to John, the sixth chapter. No, no, no. Go to John, the first chapter, and I want you to read the 49th verse. Can you read? Can you read loud enough for people to hear? You can read loud enough for people to hear.

[5:26] All right. I want you to go to John 4, 39 through 42. Amen? Amen? Somebody shout amen. Amen. Who else wants to help me this morning? You want to read?

[5:38] All right. Go to John 7, 37 through 41. This ain't my message. I just want you to show you something. Because only one person said Peter is the one who got the revelation.

[5:49] And Peter's the only one I ever heard of having the revelation. That God began to show me that Peter wasn't the only one that hadn't bowed to his knee to Baal or kissed the toe of the Pope. Amen? Amen? Who else wants to help me?

[6:00] John 11, 26 and 27. Amen? Who else? Huh? John 20, 29 through 31.

[6:13] Can you say amen? Amen? We all know Matthew 16 and 16, right?

[6:27] You were John 1, 40 and 41. Who? Did I give anybody Acts yet?

[6:39] Acts the 8th chapter 36 and 37. 8th chapter 36 and 37. Who wants one?

[6:52] All right, Sister Debbie. 1 John 4, 14 and 15. One more? 1 John 5 and 5. Okay?

[7:05] Okay. Jeremy, are you ready? Are you ready? Stand up and read, son. Read it out loud. Wait a minute now.

[7:19] Hold on. Now Jesus is getting ready to call his disciples, but as of yet he has not called anybody. No disciples have been called. And listen to what happened. He first findeth his own brother Simon, one of the two which heard John speak and followed him, which Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

[7:38] Now who did he hear speak first? John. John speak. And he was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. Hey, listen. This will blow your mind. I got studying yesterday how many Simons it was and blow your mind.

[7:52] 11. He first findeth his own brother Simon and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah which is being interpreted the Christ.

[8:06] Now, what did he say? We have found the Messiah. What's the word Messiah mean? Being interpreted. Did you just read it?

[8:16] The Bible interpreted itself. Being interpreted, we found the Christ. People just skip over that. They just read, We have found the Messiah which is the Christ. They remember that.

[8:28] Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this unto thee, but thy Father which is in heaven. And upon this. What? Upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

[8:42] Did I give you one? All right. Save this one for you. Acts 9, 10 through 22. Save that long one for you because you didn't volunteer.

[8:56] Now, all right. Now, when was this? This is in John, the first chapter, 40 and 41st verse. Amen. And he got the, and this was before Jesus even called all of his disciples.

[9:08] And he went out there and he said, Come on, we found somebody. He, he, he said, he's the Messiah. You can be interpreted, he's the Christ. Who had the next one? All right. Verse, verse 5, 49.

[9:20] Nathaniel answered and said. Nathaniel answered and said. And you got to realize that Nathaniel had about three different names. Nathaniel, who is also Thaddeus, who is also Bartholomew. They're all the same people. So if you aren't really studying, this Bible will mix you up.

[9:33] Unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel. Who did Nathaniel say he was? Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel. Can you imagine that?

[9:46] When did they get the revelation? Peter got his revelation after Jesus was resurrected. After he had, after he had done, told him, cast your net on the other side, brother. And you call up, fish don't like, don't not call anything.

[9:58] After he came to the shore. After he got found his horse and his eye, I've read and fished upon the fire. Peter, who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? Or some say, Lord, that thou art Isaiah or, you know, Elijah, one of the prophets.

[10:10] But who do you say I, the Son of Man, am? Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah. Let me tell you what, it's a revelation for you to ever understand that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

[10:24] You ready, Sarah? John 4, 39 through 42. And many of the Samaritans of the city. And many of the Samaritans.

[10:34] Now, now we're in John 4. Jesus at the, at the, at the well and he sends his disciples on into town to get something to eat. And he's sitting there waiting for the woman to come in, out to the well to draw water from the well.

[10:46] Amen. And Jesus says, you know, she says, woman, give me drink. And she said, what am I to have to do with thee that I'm a, I'm a Samaritan. And the Jews don't have anything to do with the Samaritans. And he said, if you knew who I was that asked thee drink, you would ask of me and I'd give you a well.

[11:01] Amen. Springing up to ever living water. Amen. And she went back to town and she preached it to everybody. She said, come see a man. Oh, you got to see this man because ain't nobody ever told me this. Hey, this is him.

[11:12] This is him. She got the revelation. Listen. Wait a minute now. And many of the Samaritans believed on him because of what the woman said.

[11:27] Because of what she told him. And what did he tell her? She said, where's your husband? She said, I have no man, Lord. He said, that's true. He said, you've been married five times and the one you're with now is not your own. I just go show you God can't save them people that have been married before, don't it?

[11:40] No, didn't salvation come to her house? That's a lie from the devil. There's no sin outside of blasphemy. The Holy Ghost that God won't forgive.

[11:52] Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. See me after church, Brother D. I got something for you. Now start again. And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him.

[12:06] For the woman of the saying of the woman, which testified, he told me all that ever I did. So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with him.

[12:21] And he abode there two days. There were, and many more believed because of his own word. And said unto the woman, now we believe, not because of thy saying, for we have heard him ourselves.

[12:37] And know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world. And know that what? And know that what? Oh, we heard you say it. And we believe what you said.

[12:49] But now we know for ourselves. Because we have heard by our own ears. And we know that this is the Christ. This is the Christ. Amen. This is the Christ. The Son of the living God.

[13:01] See, God, when God does something, he don't do it in a corner. He very seldom only gives one person a revelation. He'll give this revelation here. Then he'll go over and give it to them. Then he'll go over and give it to them. And then it's up to us to glean it and put it together so that we can understand.

[13:13] Who else does that mean? You got, you got, huh? Who got John 7? Who? Jump up.

[13:32] The last, in the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. And he that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of the belly shall flow rivers of living water.

[13:48] But this spake he of the Spirit, which they believe on him, should receive. For the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.

[14:01] And many of the people, therefore, when they heard this saying, of the truth, this is the prophet. And the others said, this is the Christ. But some said, shall Christ come out of Galilee?

[14:14] What did they say when they heard this? For out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. Speaking of the Holy Ghost. Because the Holy Ghost was not yet given.

[14:26] And many of them heard him say it. And what did they say? When they heard his words, they said, this is the Christ. This is the Christ. And then them old hypocrites that you always got them around, saying, can any good thing come out of Galilee?

[14:38] Listen to the devil. Listen to the devil. Did you have 11? Huh? He wants to start with 25, too. And Jesus said in her, I am the resurrection and the life.

[14:52] He that believeth in me, though he were dead, ye shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

[15:06] Believest thou this? She saith unto him, ye, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

[15:16] Who? What'd she say? Read that last verse again. Now, remember, this was at Lazarus. Lazarus had just been dead four days. He's in the tomb. And Jesus finally comes. This is before the crucifixion.

[15:27] This is before the resurrection. This is before Pentecost and everything. What did she say? She saith unto him, ye, Lord, I believeth that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

[15:40] I believe. I believe. I believe. I believe that thou art the Son of God. Amen. The Christ that should come into the world. Amen.

[15:51] I believe. You know what the Bible said? If you believe that, you shall be saved. But you've got to believe it. Not with just your mouth. Not with just an outside thing. Because when you really believe something, it changes the way you think, the way you talk, the way you act, the way you live.

[16:04] It changes everything about you. Amen. Because you believe it. I believe it. I believe it. Amen. Woo! I believe. I was sitting there yesterday and I was reading this.

[16:16] I was reading John 10, 9 and 10. I mean, Romans 10, 9 and 10. If we believe with our heart, the Lord Jesus Christ confessed with the mouth that God has raised me from the dead. We shall be saved. Big old tears begin to swell up, roll down my face. And I believe.

[16:27] I believe. I believe. I believe, Jesus. I believe, Jesus. I believe. I believe. I believe. I believe. Amen. Who had John 11, 26? Oh, you had that?

[16:39] All right. Who had John 20? 29? Huh? You did? You did? You did? Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed.

[16:57] Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed. And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

[17:09] And that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ. That ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. And that believing ye might have life through his name.

[17:21] Woo! Everybody talks about Thomas, and I remember old Doubting Thomas. Old Doubting Thomas. Old Doubting Thomas. Let me tell you what old Doubting Thomas did. Honey, one day Jesus walked by and he said, Thomas, come on, follow me, man.

[17:33] Thomas left everything. He left everything behind. And he forsook all. And he took up his cross and began to follow Jesus. Amen? Then, hey, listen. He believed that Jesus was the Messiah.

[17:43] He believed that he was the one that's going to come and, you know, and bring deliverance to the Jewish people and set up his throne. So when Jesus was crucified, then he had a little tinge of doubt in his heart.

[17:55] And when they began to tell him, Mary told him, said, I was at the tomb. And said, I saw Jesus. Although it didn't look exactly like him, but I saw him, but I know his words. And he said, go and tell my disciples, which are in Jerusalem, that, behold, I have arisen.

[18:07] And I'll meet them there. Amen? Honey, son of Ahiah. He said, I first got to go to my father, but I'm coming back. Amen? Woo! And I'll meet them there. And then when they got down, they began to tell Thomas, hey, Thomas, listen, you guess what?

[18:19] Mary said, she saw him. And I believe she saw him. What do you think, Thomas? He said, unless I see him with my own eyes, unless I touch the nail prints in his hand and put my hand in his side, I won't believe. Amen? Woo!

[18:29] Let me tell you what. Let me tell you what. They were all in there. They were scared to death. They were killing Christians. They done killed Jesus. They done beheaded John the Baptist. It was a bad, dark time. But in the midst of all that, walking through the wall because the doors were locked because of the people there, Jesus Christ walked in through the midst.

[18:44] Walked through. Come in. Can you imagine walking through the walls? Amen? Walked right into the presence of them. And you know what? And Thomas looked at him. And he said, here, Thomas. You've been wanting to see. You want some proof? He said, feel my hands.

[18:55] He said, here, cast your hand here. Touch my side. You know what Thomas did? Thomas reached down and he grabbed his hand. He said, my Lord and my God. Only man that ever caught Jesus God.

[19:05] My Lord and my God. Amen? How many times has Jesus manifested himself to us? Hallelujah. Woo! My Lord and my God. So, honey, you remember that when they started talking about old doubt in Thomas.

[19:17] Thomas might have had a little doubt. But, honey, it all got saved, sanctified, filled with the Holy Ghost. Can you say amen? Amen. Hallelujah. Who had the next one? Huh? Huh? John 20, 29 through 31.

[19:34] That's what you just read? Okay. Acts 8, 36 to 37. That's you? And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water.

[19:47] And Enoch, I guess you said, said, see, Enoch. Here is water. What doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, if thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.

[19:57] And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. This is right after the day of Pentecost. When great persecution was on the church.

[20:09] And especially at Jerusalem. And God began to send them out. Amen. And he allowed the persecution to get them to go out. Because if he hadn't at all sat around the mother church. And they'd all just been sitting there. They'd been full of the knowledge.

[20:20] But the word would not have spread. Amen. Amen. So Jesus Christ allowed the persecution to come. And old Peter, old Philip, he's heading down the road there. He don't know where he's going. He's being led by the Spirit. And as he's going down the road there comes this Ethiopian eunuch.

[20:31] This rich man. He's riding in his carriage. He's got his driver up there. And he's got the book open. He's reading the Torah. Amen. And he's not understanding what he reads. Let me tell you what he's reading. He's reading there in Isaiah, the ninth chapter.

[20:43] Amen. He said, for unto us a child is born. Unto us a son is given. His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace. At the end of his government, there shall be no end.

[20:54] Woo! Shine a breeze. Satana Mahaya. Philip runs up to him and said, do you understand what you read? He said, how can I understand unless I have some man to teach me? He said, get up here in the chair with me and I'll tell you.

[21:07] And he got up there with him and he began to, listen, if you'll read it, he said he began to preach Jesus Christ to him. You know what he preached? He preached that salvation is only through the name of Jesus Christ.

[21:18] He preached that what must I do to be saved? The best that the preacher preached on the day of Pentecost, repent, be baptized on the world, you're in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins. And then he said, wait a minute, here's water. What forbid me to be baptized? He said, help you believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead.

[21:32] He said, I believe that Jesus Christ, Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God. Can somebody shout amen? You know what happened? He believed, he was baptized, and Peter was translated out somewhere else.

[21:46] Teleported. Amen. He was here and then he wasn't. I remember, I forget, Brother Gerald mentioned it last night, brought my memory. I got a brother and sister-in-law who live out in, used to live in Blackwell, Oklahoma.

[21:58] They live over by Oklahoma City now, Tulsa. But we were going out there, me and my two daughters, my wife, and we were singing that old Teddy Hufferman in the gym song. Stepping on the clouds, we'll see Jesus rise to need him in the air.

[22:12] Stepping on the clouds, we will greet him. Oh, the joys together we'll share. I'm going to leave this world behind me, going to where the devil cannot find me. I'm going higher, higher, higher, stepping on the clouds.

[22:25] And I was thinking about that. Jesus, Acts 111, outside of Jerusalem, amen. And he's telling them, my boys, now y'all turn here in Jerusalem until you've been doing power from on high. You begin telling them everything. And all of a sudden, right before that, you read Mark 16, 16.

[22:38] It says, he that believeth and baptized shall be saved. He that believeth and I shall be damned. These signs are going to follow them that believe. Amen. And he just began to step on the clouds. God sent a chariot cloud down. Amen. And on that chariot cloud, he mounted up and he ascended into heaven.

[22:49] I can see God sending his chariot clouds down here for us. Amen. We know we're going to be translated. How are we going to do it? How did Elijah get translated? God sent chariots of fire.

[23:00] Amen. And a whirlwind. And it took him to heaven. Can somebody shout amen? How are we going to get translated? Honey, it's going to be another move of the Holy Ghost. Hey, what happened in the upper room? There was a whirlwind.

[23:12] There was a sound of a mighty rushing wind. Amen. Amen. And cloven tongues like as a fire lit up on all of them. They all begin to speak with tongues that the Spirit of God gave them. Chomp. Chomp.

[23:25] Chomp. Chomp. Woo. Glory to God. Whose turn is it? Did you read? You didn't get one? You didn't get one? And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

[23:55] Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him and he in God. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. I've been saved 35 years I sat back there and I read that And I'm just bawling, just tearing Whosoever shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God Read it one more time Read it one more time And we have seen and do testify That the Father sent the Son To be the Savior of the world Whosoever shall confess That Jesus is the Son of God God dwelleth in him And he in God For with the mouth Confession is made unto salvation He dwelleth in God And God dwelleth in him I in you and you in me That we all may be one in him Oh it's so hard to do

[24:58] Yes it is All you gotta do is believe Isn't it really hard to do Who had five and five? Who got five and five?

[25:14] Who is he that overcometh the world? Who is he that overcometh the world? How many wants to overcome the world? Who is gonna overcome the world? How you gonna overcome the world? But he that believeth that Jesus The Son of God Is the Son of God How you gonna overcome the world?

[25:32] But he that believeth that Jesus How is that gonna make you overcome the world? Because 1 John 4 and 4 says Because greater is he That is in you He that's in me The greater one He's preaching last night When the greater one has come The greater one Amen Whoo Glory It's your turn Acts 9th chapter Beginning in the 10th verse Can you put a little emphasis on this When you preach Get that preaching spirit in there And there was a certain disciple A Domanicus Named Aeneas And to him said Lord in vision Aeneas he said Behold I am here Lord I am the Lord Said unto him Arise and go into the street Which called straight And inquire in the house of the Judah For one called Saul of Terras For behold he prayeth And hath seen in a vision Of a man named Aeneas Coming and putting his hand on him That he might receive his sight Then Aeneas answered Lord I have heard by many This man how much evil he hath done

[26:34] By the saints of Jerusalem And there he hath authority From the chief priests To bind all that call them by name By the Lord said unto him Go thy way For he is chosen vessel unto me To bear my name Before the Gentiles And kings and the children of Israel For I will show him How great things he must suffer For my name's sake And he Aeneas went into the way And entered into the house And putting his hands on him said Brother Saul the Lord Even Jesus that appeared unto thee In the way of thou camest And who sent me That thou might receive the sight And be filled with the Holy Ghost And immediately There fell from his eyes And he had been scaled And he received sight forwith And arose And was baptized And when he had received meat He was strengthened Then was Saul Certain days With the disciples Which were at Dematicus And straightway He preached Christ In the synagogue And he of the Son of God But all that heard him Were amazed And straightway he preached Christ Straightway he preached Christ is the synagogue That he is the Son of the God

[27:34] But all that heard him Were amazed And said Is not this He that destroyed them Which called on the name In Jerusalem And he came hither For that intent And he might bring them Abound from the chief priests But Saul increased The more in strength And confounded the Jews Which dwelt in Dematicus Proving that this is very Christ Amen Proving Proving Now we're talking about A man here Whose name was Saul He's a bad man He's a very bad man He went into people's houses Anybody that believed In the name of Jesus Christ And he took them And he threw them Into prison And some of them They had killed He was there condoning The murder of God's martyr Stephen And then on his road To Damascus Hallelujah God knocked him off His high horse A bright light Shone out of heaven And blinded his eyes And a voice spoke And he said Saul Saul Why persecutest thou me It's hard for thee To kick against the pricks And he said Who art thou I can imagine I've been knocked On my high horse I'm blind I can't see And there's a voice Who art thou Lord Those that were standing around

[28:35] Said they thought They heard thunder Because it was the voice Of God speaking to him And he said I am Jesus Christ Whom thou persecutest Amen He said But you go on in To Damascus And you go down To the street called street And you abide there In this house And I Hey I'm going to send Somebody to you Amen At the same time There was a man Named Ananias Can somebody shout Amen Hey And it's in the middle Of the day And he's up on top Of his house And God gives him A vision And he said There's a man Down there on the street Called straight to Damascus You go down there Oh is this the same one That's been putting people In jail And doing all this That's the very same one But he is a chosen vessel Unto me To bring my word To carry it To the Gentiles Amen And I like what he said He believed God And he went down there To this man Who was putting everybody That believed on Jesus Christ In jail And he said to him Brother Saul He called him A brother This day The Lord Has appeared unto me Told me to come down here Lay hands on you

[29:36] And pray for you You're going to receive Your sight He received The sight He laid on him The scales fell off Of his eyes And Paul saw And then he was baptized In the name of Jesus Christ For the remission Of his sins Amen Because nobody preached Jesus like Paul did Peter didn't do it John didn't do it Matthew didn't do it Luke didn't do it But Paul Amen That 13th apostle Amen Came and he preached Jesus Christ Wrote two thirds Of the New Testament Man blows my mind And you just got to Read everything That he said about him Jesus Christ He said Paul An apostle of Jesus Christ By the grace And mercy of God You know He just began You'll just read How he starts off His letters Let you know The man He had a relationship With him He said I knew I knew a man Whether in the spirit Or not I'm not sure Such a man Above you know 13 years ago Or something like that Such a one Called up into the spirit And he saw things Wasn't lawful to be spoken And he said Because of the abundance Of the revelation Given unto me There was given me A thorn in the flesh

[30:36] The mystery of Satan To buffet me Lest I should be exalted Above measure What was it? When old Paul Finally got his eyes open He said Oh but when it pleased God Who saved me And called me By his grace From my mother's womb To reveal himself in me See I wish I could get Your eyes open I preach This is my basic doctrine That Jesus Christ Came to this world He bore our sins He was crucified He died on the third day He was resurrected He went back to the Father And he prayed to the Father And the Father sent the Holy Ghost And the Holy Ghost Was not only with us But in us And now Why If we have his spirit in us Jesus Christ This world Will never see Jesus Christ again This is what I believe That the reason That Jesus Christ Fills us with the Holy Ghost And he gives us his name

[31:37] Of my people 1 Chronicles 7 14 2 Chronicles 7 14 My people Which are called by my name We have his name We have his spirit We have his anointing We have his unction We have his blessings These are the works That I do You do also Greater works Than these That I do Because I go to my Father And I go do it Amen We are the only Jesus This world Will ever see We are the only Jesus We have his name We have his spirit We have his power He gave us all this Listen to me You won't get this You won't You'll go out here And We were having church Sunday night Down in Calhoun And Brother John Brackett And he's a He's a fine man of God And he got up there And he began to say something And he said Well now I don't want y'all To think that I'm a little Jesus And I just stopped him Right there I said I want you to know That I think I am A little Jesus He's my daddy I am his seed I am born of his Hey I am born of Of his seed Amen I am what I am today And his name is on me And his spirit is in me And his authority Is in my right hand

[32:38] Amen And we're the only Jesus The world's ever gonna see If you can ever get that revelation The devil don't want you To know who you are He wants you to think Well you're just Jesse You're just an old dope You ain't nothing Who you think you are To even be able to open That holy book To read those words To understand it That's the devil Line to you Amen The devil Hey What's your first name John I thought your daddy's name was John What's his name Oh good That's the first and second John Well John You backslid I believe you backslid Once before didn't you Well I don't think you're hardly worthy To enter into the kingdom of God If you done backslid twice Except That I done backslid a thousand times And I found out that His grace endures forever And if I'll come to him And if I'll repent And say Jesus forgive me of my sins He is faithful and just To forgive me of my sins

[33:39] And to cleanse me From all unrighteousness Amen That's the kind of God Hey I've got a revelation Jesus is the Christ And that Christ Is living inside of me And the works that I do He said you should do also In greater works than this You should do because I go to my father But the church ain't doing The greater works Because we don't even know Who we are You cannot walk out Of this place today And tell somebody I'm a little Jesus Do you know why The pride of your imagination Will keep your mouth shut And you'll be tongue tied Because I can't do that Because once you say that Once you speak those words Then they're going to watch you First they're going to say You're a nut You're crazy You're a fanatic And then every time You do something wrong They say would Jesus do that Would Jesus think that Would Jesus wear that Would Jesus act that way And you think Well it's a whole lot easier If I just stay in my ignorance If I just don't know Who I am Amen My wife said

[34:39] Preach it again Let me say it one more time The devil don't want you To know who you are And our imagination Will bind us We won't go tell anybody Hey I'm Jesus I want you to know today I am Jesus And Jesus is me I am living inside of him This isn't my life I'm living My life was not in church My life was in the world But when Jesus came in my life Then it all changed Amen Now he's living his life Through me I'm not preaching my word Because I don't have any word I'm preaching his word Amen Thus saith the Lord God Almighty And this This This imagination that we got If we could ever imagine Who we are And what we are What was 1 Corinthians 3 18 say We're being changed Into his image From glory to glory We're being changed Into his image And his likeness Amen But our imagination Won't allow us Because we imagine What people are going to say If I was to go down To somebody and say Hey I'm Jesus I don't know what you really are

[35:41] But I know you're a stupid idiot And you're a little nut Because you're not Jesus And I can say Well how do you know Have you ever met him Have you ever talked to him Is he living inside of you Because the only way That you're going to know If I'm Jesus Is you got to have him Inside of you And then you'll know That you're Jesus too What are you saying I know I don't mean Listen Listen 1 John 4 and 1 Beloved Believe not every spirit But try the spirits Whether they be of God Every spirit that confesses Not that Jesus Christ Is coming to flesh Now what does that mean to you If he's coming to flesh And if you drop on over To the 18th verse It says As he is So are we In this world What do you mean As he is So are we What does that mean to you What does it mean to you As he is So are we What was he in this world He was the savior Of this world Amen Then what are we To this world We're the savior Of this world And if you read 2 Thessalonians The 7th chapter 2nd chapter You'll find out That only he who now

[36:42] Will let that he Be taken out of the way What does that mean to me That means to me That the rapture Ain't going to take place And the tribulation But it's not going to happen Until Jesus Christ comes And takes his church Out of here Amen And his church Are the people That are not ashamed To say hey I am Jesus Christ And Jesus Christ is me And he's living in me And there's no good thing In me outside of Jesus Christ And I am all that I am Because of who he is But we won't do that Because if we do that The people will begin To look at us And they'll look at The way we dress And they'll say Would Jesus dress like that Would Jesus talk like that What would Jesus do And well I just don't think All that's necessary And for you It may not be But ever since I've been here 17 years in June I preach that there's One glory of the sun One glory of the moon And one glory of the stars As one star differs From another star in glory So also is the resurrection Of the dead Can somebody shout amen See that's a spiritual revelation You'll never get it

[37:42] As one star differs From another star in glory You go out there And if it's kind of light outside You're not going to see Any stars except The southern star The southern star What is a bright And morning star Amen It's close to the moon Over there But when it gets real dark And there's no moon out You go outside And all the stars Are lit up in the heavens Some bright and some dim Amen He said As one star differs From another star in glory So also is the resurrection Of the dead What's that mean That means that we're going To come out of that grave With different amounts of glory Amen Now you may be just satisfied With all that If I just come out of the grave It's going to suit me Well that shouldn't suit you Because everybody's going To come out of the grave Everybody's going to come Out of the grave They're going to stand Before the great white throne Judgment if they're sinners And if we're saved We're going to stand Before the judgment seat of Christ Amen And honey let me tell you what There's a world of difference Those that stand before The judgment The great white throne judgment They're going to die again Can you imagine dying again You done died once You done went through All that pain and torment Of dying And you know Some people die with cancer And some people Just ate up all over

[38:43] And you know They just You know They just Burn up inside Can you imagine Having to die again He said And this is the second death Preached on that last week This is the second death But them that had part In the first resurrection The second death Has no power over Can you say amen Let me tell you what I have already experienced The first resurrection Thirty five years ago Hallelujah Right down there In Livermore, Kentucky I can tell you the night I can take you within Three square foot Of where I was When Jesus called my name And I said Yes Lord Here I am Send me Amen Hallelujah I know that I know that I know that I know that I know that I know that I'm saved Amen And I know That he that To begin a good work in me Shall accomplish it Until the day of Jesus Christ And I know that I'm not satisfied To come out of the grave Shining like a little star I don't want to come out of there Shining like a moon Because I read in Matthew 13, 43 For then shall the righteous Shine forth as the sun In the kingdom of their father We can shine like the sun Amen But you can't shine like the sun

[39:43] If you're ashamed of the sun I'm not ashamed No way I'm not ashamed of the gospel Of Jesus Christ For it is the power of God And the salvation To everyone that believeth To the Jew first And to the Greek also And you shout amen Well I have to save my message For later Amen Hallelujah Hallelujah So who got the revelation That Jesus is a Christ Let me see now Let me just check you out Here real quick Who got the revelation That Jesus was a Christ We all know about Matthew 16, 16 Blessed art thou Simon bar Jonah Simon son of Jonah Peter got it Nathaniel got it The woman at the well got it The Ethiopian unit got it I would to God That we would get it That art the Christ The son of the living God And then John 17 Father Jesus is most beautiful prayer I would I pray thee

[40:44] That thou would make Them one As you and I are one Come on Come on How many wants to be one With him You know what happens When you become one With him What was Jesus He was the savior Of the world What does God Want us to be What does he want us To be You think Brother Ben You think y'all can be The savior of the world I don't know Why else would he want me To take up my cross If he didn't want me To get crucified Jesse Amen If he didn't want me To shed my blood The life of the flesh Is in the blood Leviticus 17 and 11 The life of the flesh Is in the blood But Jesus wants us To shed our blood That his blood Can flow through our veins We got royal blood Royal blood Amen Thank you Jesus Like the old saying goes I'm not who I Want to be I may not be Who I ought to be But thank God I'm not who I Used to be Can you say amen Let's all stand up

[41:45] This morning Let's lift up our hands And thank the Lord For his word Amen Thank you Jesus For the revelation That you have given me Lord God That you are the Christ And I confess you Lord As my Lord And as my Savior Lord God As the only true God I praise you And I lift you up And I magnify you And I exalt you Lord Lord with everything That is within me Lord live your life Through me Jesus Live your life Through me Lord In Jesus name In Jesus name Now how many Wants to be a disciple Let me see your hand How many wants to be An apostle What's the difference Between a disciple And an apostle A disciple Sits at the feet And learns An apostle Is one who has learned And he goes forth With a message To tell what he's learned Amen Hallelujah Wait a minute

[42:46] I want you to preach This to him first Come up here And preach this to him first I think I know What's going on I've seen Somebody in a church One time And they said They were talking About being saviors For other people And the brother You might not understand How we can be saviors For other people And God said The way Has already been made You just got to walk in it Well I want to show you The way In the book of Psalms David said I am a worm And no man But he was speaking In the personage Of Jesus Christ I am a worm And no man He took the worm's road Amen He laid down That people like you and I Would walk on top of him Amen And he made the way He bridged the gap Amen Hallelujah From hell to heaven And he said Hey I'm the way Walk on me Amen And he made the bridge For us to cross over Can somebody shout amen Woo It's a crucified way It's a humbling way It's a humiliating way But it's a glorious way It's a resurrection way It's a lively way

[43:46] Hallelujah Hallelujah Something brother Jesse Goes along with this What happens is When we take that low place And people walk on us Brother Ann preached a message here Just a few months ago About how When the children of Israel Walk through the Through the sea That they got the Dust of the name On their feet And the way that we become Their saviors Is when we take the low place Like brother Jesse was saying And they walk on us They get the dust of the name On their feet And it's either going to speak And it's either going to save them Or it's going to send them to hell And it's their decision What they do with it

[44:47] After they get it on them Hallelujah After they walk on us And they get the dust of the name On their feet It's going to do one of two things It's either going to be A testimony for them That they're going to be saved And they're going to come To the realization That Jesus is God And that he loves them And he saves them Or it's going to send them to hell Because they reject him The name will either witness for you Or the witness against you Amen Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah No way We are not ashamed Of the gospel Or his name Holy hands Are lifted high To the name of Jesus Christ Another song he wrote He said I've drawn a line in the sand How'd that go David?

[45:37] Tell me How'd it go? Draw the line in the sand Amen If you're on the Lord's side Step across the line Huh?

[45:55] The words of the son In my commitment I've took the stand With the world behind me The cross before By the grace of God By the grace of God I will I will I will I will I will I will I make a conscious decision In my will I will Serve the Lord Listen God has taken us To deeper depths And higher heights We're experiencing things That we've never experienced before And this is just the beginning Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Pastor We're on the spirit side now We've been on the word side For 16 years Oh We're on the spirit side now We've been on the word No We're on the word side now We have been on the spirit side For so long Now God wants to take us To the word side Amen Woo Does anybody know anything

[47:00] About the scales God has scales And I don't mean like fish scales It's a balance If you read Psalm 16 In the 16th verse He said On thy right hand Are pleasures forevermore On thy left hand Is crucifixion Crucifying your flesh What does that mean?

[47:20] God's going to give us The pleasure Of being a child of God Of knowing our name Is written down In the Lamb's book of life Of having a promise That we're going to No one No more sickness No more death That we're going to a land That's been promised Ever since I was a little bitty boy My mama telling me about it Amen But to get there We got to go through the pain We got to go through The crucified Christ We got to take up our cross And follow Jesus Let me just say this I told this to Brother David I said A lot of times The Lord puts us on the cross And And we know that he is But then We'll get in the prayer line And we want people To pray us off of it Knowing that we have to go there If he did If we're going to It's like Brother Van said If we're going to be like him We're going to have to have a cross Your cross may not be like What I got to do My cross But there will be a cross But we And like in the song It says the cross before us We always want to put a cross behind us We don't want the cross

[48:20] We want the resurrection side Let me tell you what happens On the pleasure side And that's where we stay We don't want any pain We don't want any crucifixion We don't want any dying out to the flesh So we run around like this They used to advertise V8 juice Have you had your V8 today?

[48:38] No I'm not going to take no V8 either Because the V8 side Is the pain side Is rejection side Well I tried to tell them about Jesus And they didn't want to hear me So they didn't want to hear Jesus either But what you're doing Is you're leaving an imprint Of the dust of the name of Jesus Christ In that ground Where you walked over there And told them And they rejected the name They're not rejecting you They're rejecting Jesus Amen And by you You crucifying your flesh And witnessing to them Balances you up So that you can walk up Right before God We're all like this We're almost like this We're done warped out of shape Because we don't want any pain We just want the pleasures of God Bless me Feed me Help me Heal me You know Every way I want all the pleasures David said And thy presence is fullest of joy And at thy right hand Our pleasures forevermore Amen You got to know that the opposite From the right hand Is the left hand That the right hand is pleasure Then the left hand is pain Amen Hallelujah

[49:38] Hallelujah Paul said I'm determined to know nothing Among you Except Jesus Christ And him crucified But there's another side to that There is a glorified And a resurrected side But we all want that glorified side Without the crucified side But let me tell you something You can't have the glorified Christ If you don't want the crucified Christ First you got to crucify your flesh And then he's going to give you the glory Greater Greater Greater Greater Greater Is he That is in us And he that is in the world To become that savior We got to get down But you know what We got to let Jesus We just got to let Jesus Work in our life We got to let Jesus Crucify our flesh We can't do nothing We cannot do nothing Apart from Jesus Christ We don't got to walk out of here And do anything But let Jesus live through us That's all we got to do And I praise him I thank him Oh Hallelujah Oh

[50:39] Does anybody here Can you truthfully say You want to crucify your flesh Can you truthfully say that You want to look forward to it You want to look forward to it You want to look forward to it Joy is fixing to come in the morning.

[51:23] Hang on. I got to just tell y'all something here for a second. Like Brother Gerald was talking in Luke, the fourth chapter, after Jesus was being full of the Holy Ghost, then he was tempted.

[51:33] Then he was tempted by Satan. Amen. After being full of the Holy Ghost, he was... In other words, what I'm saying is before the devil tempted him, he was full, but he was full of the Word too.

[51:47] What is the Holy Ghost that works through us? That dust that we put on our... Somebody help me. Oh, the dust that we apply to our life.

[52:00] Oh, the worm's road that we take. We will. We will. Shove them on, Koshai. Succeed. There's no way around it. There's no way around it. I just thank and praise the Lord for the Spirit.

[52:11] Oh, and that our joy has already come. Now it's all up to us just to use it, apply it to our life, apply it to our minds, open up our knowledge and understanding that we may receive it.

[52:24] Stop being lazy and get in the Word. You know, the devil comes to all of us.

[52:36] The devil comes to all of us to beat us down. Amen. But the Lord showed us how to overcome, and how did he overcome? He knew the Word. If you don't know the Word, and if you don't get the Word, you'll never be an overcomer.

[52:48] Amen. What I learned today, which I've noted all my life, what I learned, was all we got to do is confess him with our mouth.

[53:05] We confess him with our mouth, that means he's in us. And if he's in us, then whatever we speak out of our mouth is coming from him. And if I speak defeat out of my mouth, that's not coming from God.

[53:19] That's coming from the old man. If I speak victory, if I go around saying, which I've been doing, that my son's going to drive me crazy.

[53:30] My son is never going to quit doing this. If I go around saying that all day long, every day, then that's what the devil's going to keep on working on. But if I confess that I know that God is in me, and if I confess that he is inside of me, and that I am him, then he will give me his promises, because I am his daughter.

[53:54] I am his heir, and he will give us his promises if we speak him instead of the devil. If we speak out the new man instead of the old man, then we will see victory in our lives, and in our hearts, and in our homes.

[54:08] And I heard something the other day. If you love somebody, if you love your mate, like we're supposed to love Jesus, I don't have a mate, but I have Jesus.

[54:23] If you love them, every little piece of something you can get from him or the person that you love, you want to feel their touch. You want to touch their hand.

[54:34] You want to go with them places. In the world, you want to go out dancing with them. What do we want to do? We want to go out dancing with Jesus when we come to church.

[54:45] We want to be happy. He's with us all the time. But you know, I heard something said the other day. He wrote us a love letter. How many of us have read the whole love letter?

[54:59] If you love somebody, you're going to love every word that he has. When we stand before him, he's going to say, how come you didn't read my whole letter that I wrote you?

[55:12] You failed to do that. I'm talking to me too. I've not read the whole Bible through. I've got, you want somebody else to read your love letter for you? You know, we can let them talk about it and build him up.

[55:26] You know how Brother Van was building up, Brother Gerald? We can let Brother Van build Jesus up to us. But we have our own love letter that we can read each day if we will.

[55:36] We can read it through and through. We should never get finished reading it over and over and over and over. I have failed the Lord in that way. How could he think I cared about him when I don't even read a letter he wrote to me?

[55:51] I praise God for everything. He wrote it and then he sealed it with a kiss.

[56:07] The power, listen to what Proverbs wrote, the preacher. The power of death and life are in your tongue.

[56:19] You speak if you're going to live and you speak if you're going to die and it's all up to you. You can speak blessings or you can speak curses. You can speak life and health and wealth or you can speak misery, woe and affliction.

[56:35] But honey, you're going to get whatever you say. You're going to get whatever you say. There's power in your word. There's power in God's word. Amen. He sent his word and he healed him.

[56:46] There's power in your word because it's your word is his word. That's right. That's right. Kevin, have to go to work.

[57:03] Who does? Bob, how's your headache? How's your headache? You know what I learned Friday night?

[57:19] Brother Gerald was preaching on the three Hebrew children and how when they got close to the fire that the guards couldn't take it and they were overcome by the heat but they didn't turn around and run that they went through the fire anyway.

[57:32] You know what? I had to go through some fire and got some more to go through to get these impurities out of me but I made my mind up I don't care what anybody but Jesus thinks I'm going to serve him if I got to get down and crawl to the cross if I got to go in lipped if I got to go in crippled one day I'm going to take my shoes off because I'm getting ready to step over into holy ground and I'm not going to be sick no more at the cross at the cross where I first saw the light burden of my heart rolled away it was there by faith I received my sight and now I am happy all the day you want to preach again?

[58:30] You know what? The Lord showed me He showed me and just working with it I've been praying over my kids and trying to you know Lord it's in your control and you know I was praying the other night and He says you know He says and the verse come to me when two or three gather together in my name there so shall I be He said why do you think I put you with a mate?

[58:53] He said with two people together holding together He said when two or three gather together in my name I also shall I be there and He says they claim it He said claim it and I just Amen let me say this the relationship that Dee and Debbie have is a good type of what every husband and wife should have you rarely see one of them without the other I have never heard them argue surely you do sometime and I think that is a great testimony that is a great testimony I go over to my brother-in-law's house they're twins Robert's brothers and when I go over I get in the spirit and I anoint their beds and I say

[59:55] Lord fill them fill them with your spirit Lord and I've done this for like two years and so they're always doubting you know they used to watch Treva on TV and they used to watch people fall out in the spirit and you know they'd watch it they were curious they were hungry but they were scared to admit that they was really watching so here about three weeks ago Tony come over and up there at the Baptist church Robert's cousin preaches and he come in preaching fire and Holy Ghost and Tony got filled with the Holy Ghost and he said I always thought it was fake when they touch your head and they just fall out he said that can't be real them idiots just fall on the ground like fools he said and David prayed for me he said I just fell out I knew I was falling but I couldn't get up and there was nothing I can do and he come over to my house and you know they stutter anyway but he come he come over to my house he was like Jenny I just don't I don't you know and they really got a sweet spirit so both of them are filled with the spirit and I just want y'all to pray that God gives them direction right now they're going to church in Taylorville they think this church is too wild the church they go to you know they can pray and shout and raise their hands but he said don't nobody flip back there at Taylorville church and you know ain't nobody getting up like they're having a seizure and I'm like that you know

[61:13] I said let the Lord deal with you on your level if you feel like you want to come visit our church come on I said not every service is wild but I can't guarantee you that somebody's not going to get up and jump over three pews or walk on the altar but you're welcome to come if you want to but I just want to thank the Lord that I'm here today and y'all don't know how it feels to be out when you don't want to be out and a lot of times I don't leave Josh because he's sick and I worry about him but I just want y'all to pray that I'll start speaking with more faith like I used to I noticed that Josh was a lot healthier when he was smaller when I was claiming you know Lord your hands on him Lord you're going to do this Lord you're going to do that and I fell back into just accepting things and I'm tired of accepting things I want y'all to pray because his little legs are so tight they're crossing like scissoring and we go Thursday to get Botox injections which I don't know if y'all have heard of that for cosmetic stuff to loosen like take care of wrinkles and stuff it loosens the muscles but I just want y'all to pray last time it only lasted for two months and I'm going to pray something really really odd this is like the medical doctors would not even see no reasoning in this but the Lord has placed on my heart for the church to pray that this Botox injection will last him forever this is what God has put on my heart to pray because you know in these little kids you look for some relief and if you let them cut on them they'll be operating on them all the time and the Lord showed me for the church to pray every day if y'all just think of Josh and Thursdays when he's going just pray that the Lord because things are getting crazy you know

[62:55] Josh has got Medicaid and they're cutting stuff out and everything and you know there's going to come a time where we're not going to be able to go to the doctor we're going to have to depend on the Lord and I know that so I just want y'all to pray and believe you know because I want them doctors to say you know wow is this still lasting for him you know and I want the Lord to be glorified in that and I'll tell them people I pray that my Lord would stretch this out for him and make it permanent so that's what I don't know the Lord's dealing with me you know he talks to me when I'm at home he talks to me all the time tells me tell people stuff and then the devil tries to get in my mind well you you know is that really you know and I know that I know that I know that it's the Lord just like the Lord told me to tell Jesse to wash brother D's feet for his healing and it's just awesome how the Lord moves and works in you not to glorify me but to glorify the Lord and it's just awesome when somebody comes back and you know it's just like they feel the same thing you know and you know that it's the Lord and it might be the craziest thing but I just thank the Lord for his spirit and thank the Lord that he's got a sense of humor and I thank him and love him thank him for his grace and mercy for many times

[64:11] I questioned certain circumstances things I could not understand many times the trials quick disperse my vision my frustration gets so out of hand it's then that I'm reminded never been forsaken never had to stand the test alone when I look at all my victories the spirit rises up in me and it's through the fire my weakness is facial he never promised the cross would not get heavy for the hill would not be hard to find he never offered a victory without fighting but he said he wouldn't always come in time just remember when you're standing on the opposition and they don't have a sin says give me transform our Lord will show up and he will take you through the fire again so many times I question certain circumstances things I could not understand many times in trials weakness blurbs my vision and my frustration gets so out of hand but it's then

[66:08] I am reminded I've never been forsaken I've never had to stay protested on and I look at all the victories and the spirit rises up in me and it's through the fire my weakness is maybe strong oh he never promised that the cross would not get heavy he would not be hard to cry he never offered the families without fighting but he said he'll put always coming down so just remember when you're standing in the fight of your heart decision and the adversary says give me just for all our Lord will show us and he will take me the fire again
