Transcript
Hello, hello. We are so excited for tonight and we got Pastor Bill in the house and he's going to be bringing the word tonight, too. So, you get a sneak peek with Pastor Bill himself, but we also want to hear what God's been doing. So, if you have any testimonies, we want to hear about it.
If you could put it in the chat, we'd love to celebrate what Jesus is doing, but Bill, I do want to start out and kind of just talk about just the importance and the power of the testimony and it's been such a foundation for our house. But can you just kind of just share because you've been shouting testimony since I mean for as long as I can remember. >> [laughter] >> As I can remember, too.
Yeah, um testimony the Old Testament says to it's a commandment to keep the commandments and to keep the testimony. Come on. The commandment we know what to do, it's whatever he says to do, you obey the commandment. But how do you keep a testimony? Do you hold to the record of what God has done and what God has said?
A testimony is any spoken or written record of anything God has done or said. Come on. And keeping a testimony actually is to hold it so close to you that it shapes how you see future situations. So, it becomes the lenses, you know, the miracle here becomes the lens through which I see a present challenge.
Come on. And the God's nature and covenant is revealed every time we give testimony. Mhm. So, it's a huge part of how you sustain a life of faith, a life of obedience in Christ is we don't ignore problems. It is problems don't control us. Come on. They don't dictate to us.
They don't uh it's a I I like to say it's a real faith doesn't ignore problem. It just denies or doesn't deny a problem exists. It denies the problem a place of influence. Come on. And so that's what we do is we really fill our heart, our lips, our mouths, our conversation with testimony.
Come on. And can you just even talk about how you know, I've noticed that the more that we shout a particular testimony, the more we tend to see it even happen within our midst. And can you just even talk about just the prophetic nature of it? It's it's true.
Well, scripture says the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. So, that's Revelation um 19:10. Uh so, it's it's a decree in the New Testament. With the Old Testament word for testimony actually the root word is to do again. Come on. When you have a testimony the very fact that God said to keep it, to speak it, to share it releases the fact that God wants to repeat it.
He wants to do it again. Come on. >> So, that's what happens is as you uh you attract what you value. Come on. You attract what you value. And so, when you talk about what God has done, talk about what he's doing, you actually attract that activity. And it's just uh it it's the way that you you sustain a real revival movement as you talk about what God has done.
Come on. >> Yeah, it's it's powerful. It's so true and I remember I don't know if you uh remember the Hunters and uh you know, my growing up in the Midwest, my mom got really big into the uh Hunters and uh I remember after that she was actually in one of their sessions and uh I can't remember her name.
Um Charles and Francis. Francis, yes. And so, she had a journal and she would write down every single testimony that would happen that she would see through her hands and she would So, she'd have this long list of knees, knees, knees, knees, knees. And it was fascinating cuz she talked about the more that I wrote it down, the more I began to fill the page.
Yep. And it was just so impactful for me and it was to me it was just a reminder, oh, it's kind of like, you know, the the stones of Israel or it's actually putting something that I can go to and something that I've noticed with you, you do it with your prophetic words, too.
But you continually go over them. >> Yeah, yeah, I have to. And it's just such a powerful, you know, discipline that we can it's really important for our life to actually begin to do. Um and so, I just want to encourage you, whatever testimony is happening even tonight, uh you know, as Bill said it their testimony is a promise of what God's about to do through you.
And so, Ruth and I love testimonies. I mean, we've learned it from you, but I know that if I hear testimony, he's not a respecter of persons, so if he's done it through them, he's willing and able to do it from through me. And I just really believe that even the testimonies released tonight, many of you are actually going to begin to see the same things.
And so, um if you're if you're still believing for a miracle, we want to take a moment just to even pray for you. Uh and so, if there's a condition that you're believing for, we'd love for you to put it in the chat for us to see and then we're going to pray and then also uh we know we had a powerful time of impartation going around.
I know you guys got to be see the room for that, but we also just want to release a prayer of impartation as we close it out here. And so, go ahead and begin to to put them in the chat there and then we'll get ready to get get ready to pray.
So, we got uh brain aneurysm. We got uh neuropathy, damage in the nerves in the feet here. Um PTSD. Right there, stage four lung cancer. Yes, we'll be praying for that. Whiplash pain. Uh chronic cough. Yep. So, whatever it is go ahead and just get ready to receive.
And you know, this is a free gift. Healing is a gift. You can't earn it. It was purchased at Calvary. And so, we're going to pray for you and then I just want to encourage you whenever after we're done praying just to begin to test it out and to try to do something you couldn't do before.
And then we'll go from there, but I also I as I was sharing that, I felt a pain come in the top part of my neck and the back of my head and I even feel like it's connected with migraines, but it's also like connected with mobility within your neck.
And so, if that's you, go ahead and put it in the chat. Also, I felt uh on the the heel, someone has issues with a bruised heel. I feel like the Lord's about to heal that. Uh but a lot of things, ACL, MCL pain, teeth uh right there.
But go ahead and get ready to receive and then uh Pastor Bill, would you would you pray? Absolutely. Uh just a reminder, you made reference to it. You can't earn healing. Some people have see it on here. They don't feel qualified to be healed. Jesus qualified us. Come on.
None of us could qualify ourselves. Uh he is the one who took our place in suffering so that we could stand in his place in victory. And so, in the name of Jesus, we pray over every one of these situations from head issues to knees and feet and uh organs of the body that are failing, bone loss uh all these different diseases, we just stand in the name of Jesus and we declare what you told us to pray Yeah. on earth as it is in heaven.
There's no cancer in heaven, there's not to be any here. There's no ulcers in heaven, there's not to be any here, there's no migraines in heaven, there's not to be any here. So, we declare the healing word of Jesus >> Yeah. over people's bodies, literally over this entire Yes. online audience that back pain would go now.
That ulcers would go now. That tumors would dissolve now. In Jesus name. Thank you, Father. Father, I pray not only for healing I ask that you would release a grace for miracles. Yes. >> For miracles, that a spirit of breakthrough would be released to the online audience that uh every one of them would see breakthroughs, unusual breakthroughs when they pray over the next 30 days.
Unusual things to bow to the name Jesus through their lips. Had you pray this in your honor, releasing impartation to every every single person. Jesus, thank you, Father. Thank you, Father. We would I want to encourage you just to go ahead and start testing out your body. And so, begin and what I want to encourage you to do is look for God what God is doing, not what he's not doing.
Yeah. And so, many of you, you're going to you're going to realize right away, oh my gosh, I have instant relief. Some of you, it's going to be oh, I I still have pain. Well, do you have less pain? You know, it's that thing of we're looking for what he is doing, not what he's not.
And so, I want to encourage you after testing out your body, I want you to put in the chat uh if you notice any a percentage change better, I want you to put back 50% better or next 100% healed and begin to put it in and we just want to celebrate what's Jesus doing, but then also just remind you that that testimony often releases breakthrough in the atmosphere for your miracle and I can't tell you how many times we've had testimony after testimony of someone sharing their testimony and then someone getting breakthrough for that as well.
So, go ahead and and put it in the chat if you notice any change there and then uh you know I I really feel like even long-term conditions are going to be healed tonight. >> Amen. And you know, just even last week had a beautiful testimony of a gentleman who was in a in an accident in 1995 and since 1995 has been in constant pain with his back for a five out of 10 pain for 30 years and he got completely healed.
And so, whether you've been struggling with something for two days or 20 years, I really feel like long-term conditions going to be healed. And so, we already have someone said migraines and upper neck are 85% better. Thank you, Jesus. That's amazing. We got um I have less soreness in my heel.
Come on, God. Thank you, Jesus. Accident was in 1975. Okay, Jeff. Left eye 100% better. Come on, Jesus. 60% healed of whiplash. We got testimonies over here with pain gone in right leg. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, God, right now. Thank you, Jesus. So, God, we thank you right now for an increase.
Back 50% better. Thank you, Jesus. Yeah. And so, if you're still needing a miracle, just hold out your hands and just repeat after me. And there's nothing magical about this, but you know, thankfulness in the kingdom always brings increase. You know, it's the it's the loaves and the fishes.
Jesus gave thanks and there's multiplication. And so, I just want you to repeat this simple phrase. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. And Father, we just thank you for all the pain going hip and back pains left right here. Come on, God. And Father, we just release more in Jesus' name.
Uh Margaret said after car accident and bed report feeling in toes after 20 years uh improving. Come on, Jesus. Thank you, God. And so, we just want to encourage you just to keep testing out your body throughout the night. And then, I want to encourage you. We have uh you know, team ministry team on the call.
We're going to be partnering with you, continue to believe with you, and we want to celebrate what's God's doing. So, keep putting in the chat. And then, we're going to see God do even great things tonight. And so, uh before we go to the session and before you get to hear more of this man here, we're going to close out in prayer for you.
Uh and then, we'll see you in a little bit. But, Bill, could you just close this out in a time of prayer? Yeah, my my cry for every person is first that you take us into a richer, deeper encounter with the glory of God. Yes. That you'd mark us with your manifest presence above everything else.
And secondly, I ask release over us a spirit of breakthrough, a mantle for breakthrough, that we would see things yield to the name Jesus through our lips. Come on. I ask this for your glory. For your glory. Amen. Amen. >> Amen. Amen. Thank you so much, Pastor Bill.
Thank you, guys. We are so thankful and excited that you are with us and just so expectant for tonight. So, we love you and we'll see you in a little bit. God bless. Good evening, everyone. How many of you are ready to encounter the Lord tonight? >> [cheering and applause] >> Can we just set our affection on him as we gather together?
I'm just going to start with Psalm 42. It says, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, oh God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?" And I want you to know this is a night to meet with him.
This is a night when we come into his presence, when the longing of our hearts can be fed by his presence. So, just lift your hands to him. And pray that prayer to him from your own in your own words from your own mouth. Lord, we are longing for you.
We long for your presence. We have waited. We have desired to be in the house of God, to come and to meet with you. And I pray tonight, God, that you would come, that you would bend down, and you would meet with us. I pray for the kiss of heaven in the house tonight.
I pray those watching online would feel the presence of God just come and wash over them. And Lord, as we we stand now in worship, I pray that there would be a fresh anointing on the worship of Jesus Christ, that as we lift our hands to you, as we lift our voices and our hearts to you, that you would anoint the song that goes forth.
That you would come in your love, and you would meet with us in this place in Jesus' name. I just invite you to stand and enter into worship of our king. >> ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) >> All throughout my history, your faithfulness [music and singing] will walk beside me.

We magnify your name. >> [applause and music] >> Would you say thank you to the worship team? Let them know that you appreciate them. Bless you, guys. Bless you, guys. Turn and give someone a high five as you make your way back to your seats. It's been a great day. It was a powerful impartation session this afternoon.
How many of you got touched this afternoon during impartation? I thought it was great. I mentioned to Randy when we went back upstairs for dinner that I just thought it was a powerful impartation time or time of impartation. Um I need to make a couple of announcements to you.
Boy, that's small print. The testimony team will be on the second level at doors open as doors opens tomorrow morning to write down testimonies of healings. We want to get the testimonies, so make sure that you uh show up tomorrow morning to write down testimonies of healings. And then also, if you missed a session or would like to purchase the audio or video of the conference, you can do that at the bookstore on the second level as well.
So, maybe you want to take this home, show it to your church. Um I used to do that with uh Toronto and Brownsville. I would show I'd take Sunday night and show videos of what was happening at the revival. And we would just have blowout services watching a video.
So, maybe you want to take it home and show it to your church or show it to your friends. Well, I have the opportunity tonight to talk about Global Awakening Theological Seminary. Um if you spend any time around Randy, you're going to see that he has a vision and a passion for higher education, and especially for our leaders and pastors in the church.
And so, if you are looking to go deeper in the word, you want to grow in the power of the spirit, then I believe with all of my heart, I know I'm a little prejudiced, I believe that our seminary is the place for you to go, Global Awakening Theological Seminary.
Um I think you're going to find at GATS things that you don't find in many other seminaries across the nation. You're going to get the biblical studies portion. You're going to get the good theological foundations teaching. You're going to get Christian history. But you're also going to get activation, activation in the gifts, activation in healing, activation in the prophetic, activation in deliverance, activation in emotional healing.
So, you not only get the word, you get the spirit. You get both. And um we have an amazing group of faculty. They are very qualified. Many of them teach in other seminaries, and uh just a great group of uh faculty that uh can deliver the goods when it comes to theology and biblical studies and history.
But they also themselves love to heal the sick, to give words of knowledge, to operate in these spiritual gifts. So, um instead of me just telling you about the seminary, what I want to do is invite one of the students to come up. How many of you know Leslie?
She is one of our students. >> ((cheering)) >> I would say one of our favorite students, and she's going to share what GATS means to her. I'm just still a little wrecked from worship. Dr. Jones, um I would say that GATS has absolutely changed my life. Absolutely changed my life.
Tom's life, too. He would be here, but he's getting ready for another conference. Anyway, but uh what we have experienced is is something that you have to actually come to. Because whenever you are diving into the word of God and you end up on your face writing a paper, you know you're in a school of the spirit.
There have been so many times where I I was writing on uh the priesthood of every believer for one of our classes and I ended up on my face with the revelation that Jesus is worth my priesthood every day of my life. And it's more than just getting the theological background, which is so essential for as we prepare for that greatest harvest we have ever seen.
I've never seen young people more hungry for the word of God and his power than right now. It's I've been in ministry 26 years and what I'm seeing today is what we have Tom and I have dreamed of. We are literally dreaming of. We've been able to develop two uh discipleship curriculums from taking GATS and we're able to bless Bethel and other churches with just seeing the lost saved, discipled, delivered.
I took Randy's class last year and the anointing for healing in my own life has increased. I can't give a percentage yet. I'm I'm doing a case study on my own, but but there was something that I received. I'll never forget a couple videos I was watching Ian Andrews who was um laid hands on by Catherine Coleman and he talked about the grace that came on his life to keep bring into the peace of God and they would get healed.
And I just received that impartation through the video and I began to do that and I began to see marked healing in my life in in people's lives just from receiving an impartation through Randy's Dr. Clark's class. And more than anything, I have fallen in love with Jesus like never before.
The professors are incredible, but they don't just bring information, they bring revelation with impartation to walk in power. If that if you want to see the next generation raised in biblical foundations and the power of God, raise your hand. Go out in the lobby, sign up for GATS.
I want to see you in class so we can spur each other on. Does that sound good? All right, God bless you. Thank you, Leslie. >> ((applause)) >> I wish I had that on video. I'd put it up on our internet on our website. That was amazing. Thank you, Leslie.
Um when you sometimes can do a search on the internet looking for seminaries and Bible schools and they will say they're accredited and they do have regional accreditation, which is valid for that region. Uh GATS has Global Awakening Theological Seminary has national accreditation. Uh so it's nationwide. You can transfer your credits if you ever transfer out.
I don't know why you would, but if you wanted to transfer your credits out, you could. And so since it is an accredited institution, there's some guidelines that we have to meet to keep our accreditation with ABHE. Uh for example, um you if you want to go to GATS the master's level, you have to have an accredited bachelor's degree.
So you have to have a bachelor's if you want to come to GATS. Now, if you don't have a bachelor's, you can also go to a a sister university that we're working with and you can get your bachelor's with them and then transfer into GATS and you can actually do your last year uh you can do it getting credit at the master's level as well as the bachelor's level.
So it saves you time, it saves you money. So uh what I want to do is just take a minute to run through some of the programs we have. We have a master's in um evangelism, a master's in pastoral ministry, and a master's in Bible. So we have three master's.
Now three uh the master's program is 16 uh courses, 48 credit hours. Uh we are we have eight-week courses, not 16 weeks, but eight-week courses. So you can jump in in January, I should have wrote this down writing this down. January, March, June, August, October. I knew I could get that.
So we have eight-week classes and full-time is two classes by the way. Um we don't let you take more than two classes at a time because two classes in an eight-week period of time is full-time. So now we have a Master's of Divinity and we have uh an MDiv in Bible and an MDiv in Ministry.
So if you want to get a Master's of Divinity, that's a little longer. Uh we have 25 courses and 75 credit hours to get a Master's of Divinity. We also something that we have new, we have a Master's of Divinity in Chaplaincy. If you want to be a chaplain and official chaplain, you can go into the service military service.
It's we have a program for the chaplains for the chaplains. So we have that, that's available as well. Now maybe um you already have a master's degree and you want to go and get your doctorate. Well, we started a doctoral program about five years ago and we just we had a DMin we have a ThD program and we have 60 I think 62 students in our doctoral program, which is fairly significant for a new for a new seminary.
But we have a Doctor of Ministry, we have a ThD. Uh the DMin is three years and you complete it in three years. You have to have an accredited master's to get into the DMin program uh in Bible or theology. Then you can get into be do a doctorate.
If you want to do a ThD, the same qualifications, but the ThD is four years or longer depending on how long it takes you to write your dissertation. Now, say you have a master's in business and you want to do the doctoral program. We have another degree that can actually be done in a year.
It's called a Master of Ministry. It's a pre-doctoral program. You already have a master's, so you go and you just get the foundational courses that you need to move into doctoral program. It can be done in a year, little bit challenging, but it can be done in a year, year and a half and you can then go into our doctoral program.
Now if you want more information about our school, about GATS or any of the programs, uh you can go back to the table in the back. Sarah will be back there. She'll be able to give you all the information or or grab me as you see me walk by.
I'll be glad to talk with you about our school. We do have uh financial aid available for master students. At this point we don't have it for the doctoral program. We also have scholarships available uh especially for full-time pastors. There's some money left. We had some donors that have given money given resources for for full-time pastors.
So if you uh want to go to the seminary and you can't afford it, you can apply for a there's official application process, you can apply for um scholarship if you're a full-time pastor. There's also a scholarship for Master of Divinity students. Now, hear me clearly. The qualifications, if you're going to do the MDiv and get a full scholarship for it, it's full ride for the first year.
It is your tuition, it's your fees, it is your books, it's everything. It doesn't cost you anything for a Master of Divinity, but you have to go full-time. And there is an examination process to make sure that you can do a full-time program and then secondly that you're able to then pay for the next two years.
But you need to go full-time and we have several scholarships left. We had a donor, that's what he wanted to do, so he set it up for us students to be able to go full-time and get a full ride. Now what he did do for last year's group of students, he then paid for their second year.
Now I can't guarantee that he's going to be that generous and do it every year, but he did. He paid for their first year, he paid for their second year. Full scholarship, you don't pay anything, which is really unusual. So if you were interested in getting an MDiv and you can go full-time and I will be honest with you, there's a real examination process to make sure that you're able to do that um because we want to make sure we're investing money in people who are going to continue in the program.
But if you have other questions, feel free to come back to the table. We'll be glad to talk with you and go over any of the scholarship information if you need it. And and there is some money also, not a lot, but there is some scholarship money for people who have a financial need with no expectation except GPA.
So there's a little money there as well. So if you have questions, come back. We'd love to talk with you and give you any answer any of your questions you might have. Would you welcome Randy Clark? >> ((applause)) ((applause)) ((applause)) >> Thank you. Thank you, Tom. I'm going to receive the offering, but I just want to add a little bit to what uh Tom had mentioned about the seminary.
This was a dream I had I had and it's God that did exceedingly abundantly above what I imagined or thought possible. And there's my privilege in the last um 3 months particularly I've been grading uh master's papers, a bunch of them, and a lot of doctoral papers. The reason why I wanted to have a seminary, I felt like there was a lot of things that was not right being taught in the church.
And there was a lot of weird infringed things happening, especially in the charismatic movement, and felt like we need to do something about that. And um I was just grading these papers and I'm I was just so blown away just this last week. One of the ones I just graded, it was about I'm not going to say the the title cuz I can't think of the words that was used, but it was about the worship.
That's what the whole paper, 65 pages. He asked special permission to if he would could go past the 25-page limit, and I said, "Yeah." Cuz you know, I went way past it myself when I was in school. And I and and I have just been blown away by the insights about worship.
And um all the way back to the beginning of the church throughout the Catholic era, Protestant era, Reformation era, Pentecostal era, uh Jesus People Movement, the Vineyard, and what's happening today, Bethel Music. And as mentioned, it's got a whole section on Bethel Music, and it's just a it's a the insights are just amazing.
And I know that that will be used and to bless a lot of people and a lot of future worship leaders to make sure they're really grounded in and knowing that what they're doing is there's a long history and there's a connection. The paper is basically saying that cuz it's on renewal or revival, the important role worship has always played in renewal and revival.
And um one of the things that's it's I'm so excited about is that the quality of what is being written is I'm able to post it on these other places where they are defending who we are. And they're explaining what we're really not that other people say we are.
And so it's been a great blessing. I want to tie it in just a little um When I first went to went to school, I mean I'm the first person in my family line to go past the eighth grade. And my dad told me right before he died, he said, "Son, you asked me once why I didn't go to high school.
I flunked eighth grade twice. He My teacher didn't like me. He beat me. And I never did pass the eighth grade. And um so it was like it was really emphasized, you know, go to school. Um but I did because I loved it. I love school. I love learning.
I love reading. Um I love listening. I love Audible. And uh because we only live long enough to get wisdom in our life, we you know, I'm I have a lot more wisdom now at 70 almost 74 than I did at 24 or 34 or 44 even 54 64.
As the longer we live, the more we learn by the mistakes we make and then try not to do those again. But if you read people's biographies, you read people what they when they take the most the things they have learned, then you can you can gain even more wisdom and knowledge by what others have learned.
I remember the first um week in college. I'm majoring in religious studies in college. Um I was reading a commentary, and I was so touched by the insight from the commentary I was weeping. I remember going out it was snowing, and I stood on the and I just was worshiping God cuz the understanding of the word was deeper than anything I'd ever been taught.
And so I just really want to say that if you're interested, we'd love to talk with you. Um Now, I am supposed to take up the offering, so that's what I better get doing. I don't really have very many uh talks I give about offerings. I'm really bad at it and and uh um I love impartation more than the offerings.
But as uh Keith Green said I in that one song, I forgot the title of it. He said, "I don't want your money. I want your life." He has my life, he has my money. This is from John chapter 12. Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. I've read that the amount of that nard was extremely expensive.
It's like at some place I thought it was said it's like a year's wages. So it was extremely expensive, and it was actually meant to Jesus later will say that was meant to to anoint my body after burial. And she's using it while he's alive. There's a lot of stuff going on at that Judas, who's going to betray him, complains.
Doesn't understand Jesus honors her. And said what she did would be told for and it has been for over 2,000 years her what she did at act of worship. I sometimes ask the question, what would move somebody to give an offering that would be life for years equal to a year's wages?
What would move somebody to be so extravagant? And and and I think that it's gratitude for her in this case. First, this this dinner is to honor Jesus. And she and her brother and her sister Mary and Lazarus, her brother, he's he was dead and Martha and Mary had gone through a whole dynamic of emotion.
First, her brother gets sick. Then they have hope if Jesus they can get a message to Jesus soon enough if he can get to him, he could pray for him and heal him. But he doesn't show up. And there was plenty of time. Actually, Jesus stayed back. He intentionally did not go because he knew that God had another plan.
When they arrive, he he's late. They're frustrated. They're grieving. He's their brother has been buried. Maybe there's a little bit of frustration and misunderstanding. Why didn't you come? And then he raises Lazarus from the dead. Up, down, up, down, all this emotion. Now that he's been raised, they're throwing a party for him for not Lazarus, but Jesus to honor him.
And that's when Mary comes with the pint of nard. And I think it might have been she came around the corner and she's serving him and she sees, "Oh my gosh, there's Lazarus so close to Jesus." The one Jesus just had such affection for this family. He's, you know, he he stayed there a lot.
Uh and she sees her brother alive. And the gratitude for the miracle moves her. Just want to to give extravagantly. The offering I want to take tonight, I want it to just be that offering of gratitude. I could tell you a lot of things that we're doing, all the stuff we're doing around the world, the numbers of people we've had several million people saved in through our ministry in in the last uh just in the last 12 years, just since uh not not for the last 31 years since Toronto.
But that's not what I want to do. I could I could tell you our vision and maybe you'd be motivated to give for that, but what I really want to say is I want you to think about a time in your life when you had a dream and you thought it was from God and it seemed like it died and it didn't happen.
And then after it died didn't happen Jesus brings it back raises it and you experience something bigger and better than what you intended. For me that is education. In the Christian faith I got out of uh seminary at 25, master divinity and it didn't take me very long to realize that even though I had 4 years of college and 3 years of seminary and I did have a lot of things I learned, there were things I did not know.
I didn't know how to cast demons out, I didn't know how to to pray for the sick. I There were just I didn't know how to do inner healing. There's so much I still didn't know and I needed to learn. So grateful for what I did get to learn through uh the Vineyard was so helpful in that and also other things that I've learned.
But when I got out of school, within the first 2 weeks I started talking about I want to start a school for people who have been to college or seminary, but there's there's other things they needed to learn, practical ministry. And I tried three different times to start such a school and every time it flopped.
Every time. It wasn't until we moved to Pennsylvania and tried that fourth time that it was the right timing and it has been very successful. Charity is one of the fruits of it. It we've had so many people that's from judges, from people who have from very high degrees, for PhDs came and took to 17-year-olds to 87-year-olds to former judges and and and many of them have gone to the mission field and some are pastors and they just they they go back into their fields of ministry and influence for the kingdom.
It's been good. But God did an exceedingly abundantly above. We also have a college for ministry. We have like Tom said, we have the masters, we have the doctorates and now we have a university in um Brazil and I'm talking with an another leader of another university. It's much bigger, like 40,000 people that wants us to do post-graduate work with the hospitals and with in in health care and uh it's just I never thought anything like that could happen.
And I think I'm not the only one that's had dreams that weren't fulfilled you gave up on them and then God raised them up and it was bigger and better than what you had initially intended. I think at the offering of gratitude that's what I want to do.
I think there's something up here at say at ways to give. You can give like that or you can ask for an an envelope and we'll get them to you. I think we have the envelopes ready. Do we have the envelopes ready? Yeah, just raise your hand if you'd like an envelope, they'll come and give it to you.
Or you can give and say, "Well, how do you do that?" You take your phone, you point your phone at it and till these little yellow lines line up come up and then you click it. Then follow the instructions. That's why I don't do it cuz I get confused.
I want to pray and then we'll receive our offering as your I I I need an envelope up here, too. And uh Mark, can you get down and borrow your pen? Oh, you don't have a pen. Thank you. We'll get it back to you. Like Tom, doesn't take me long, my credit card is on file.
All I have to do is just put the amount in. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for the opportunity to just to give a thanksgiving offering to you. An offering of gratitude. Thank you for all that the people have done. Thank you for what Father, there you you have done for them and thank you for what they now want to do for you.
In the name of Jesus we pray, God that their dreams would be fulfilled. Those those dreams that you've put in their life, God that you would bring them to pass in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Lord, thank you. Thank you so much. We love you.
We honor you. It's a privilege to give. We pray that there'd be a sweet aroma from this offering in Jesus' name. Amen. Okay, you receive the offering. Thank you, sir. I'm trying to think of the person I've probably introduced more than anyone other person and I think it's the person I'm introducing tonight.
I love to introduce Bill Johnson. I love to introduce >> ((applause)) >> this man of God. One of the things I am so excited about is to get to listen to him teach. He's one of my favorite teachers. I even like his jokes. I remember sitting in a big in a Methodist church, we did a school there, my ministry did a school in this large Methodist church and on sitting right beside me is a man who later became a professor in our seminary who has his doctor's degree in New Testament and is one of the greatest teachers I'd heard and he is sitting there with his mouth falling open listening to Bill and he looks over at me and he says, "Where does this guy get this?"
I have sat under some of the best teachers in the world but there's things that Bill sees that I don't know where he gets and then in a sense he's awestruck by how it's good. It's not weird. It's really good and you know, because there are some people's revelations is not revelation is not so good.
But I I'm I'm I love how he studies. I love how he is so committed to the Bible. I love how he lives in the scripture till it becomes part of him. I love how God gives him revelation. I love that he lives in a truth that if you love me, you will obey me and and we will come to you in John 14 through 16 and he has he's a man whom to whom Jesus comes quite often and reveals things to him.
That's for his the church today. Would you welcome a man of God, a a faithful man >> ((applause)) >> a a father in the church. >> ((applause)) >> Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. >> ((cheering)) ((applause)) >> Thank you. >> ((cheering)) >> I love you, too. Thank you. >> ((cheering)) >> Wow. I'm going to take you guys everywhere.
Oh, goodness. I I love these schools so much. I I love doing honestly, I I I do many things typically many things a year with Randy and and the global team and it's just always a highlight for me. And whether we're in the US or in another country, it's just it's just a dream come true and and I'm thankful.
I've received from Randy more from Randy than any person alive and I I owe so much to him and just I'm just just thankful. I'm a happy camper. And and I'm glad you guys showed up, too. This makes it extra fun. Um I waved to a man because I thought he waved at me.
Apparently, he waved to another woman. So, to get out of the awkward situation, I kept my hand up. A taxi pulled over and drove me to the airport. I'm now in Poland starting a new life. >> [laughter] >> That's just so dumb. But, I like it. I like it. >> [laughter] >> I can tell when people are judgmental just by looking at them.
By replacing your morning coffee with green tea, you can lose up to 87% of what little joy you still have left in your life. >> ((applause)) >> My stomach is flat. The L is just silent. >> [laughter] >> Last one. I don't know if social media has ever caused the lame to walk, but it has sure caused the dumb to speak. >> ((applause)) >> All right, after that edifying uh line of jokes.
You know, there's We've been made in the image of God for the purpose of intimacy. We've been made in the image of God so that there is uh we were born to have a seamless connection with the almighty God. God loves and celebrates all of his creation, but you and I are the only ones designed for a seamless connection.
And I don't want to make this sound weird to you, but there is there are certain things that are expected. For example, uh let's just take nature itself. A horse with a horse produces a horse. Write it down. Write it down. You'll need this in the future. Corn reproduces corn.
Everything in creation, there is something reproduced according to its likeness, according to its kind. And you and I are designed in the likeness of God to reproduce. And the offspring of intimacy with God is supposed to be answers to prayer. You were designed to co-labor. Every one of us, we were designed but by creation starts in Genesis 1.
We were designed to co-labor with God. He doesn't need any of us. He can do everything by himself. He can preach better. He can heal the sick better. He can do everything. He can sing better. You know, he hear people say that uh you know, you tell them you just sang a beautiful song.
They say, "Well, it wasn't me. It was Jesus." And I'm thinking, "No, it would have been a lot better if it was if it was Jesus." >> [laughter] >> That's just what I'm thinking, you know. But, he can do everything better. We know that. That's a that's a no-brainer.
He he he's God. But, there's something there's something about him delighting in >> [clears throat] >> and partnering with our design. There's uh So, in fact, why don't you turn in your Bibles? Let's read this scripture to kind of kick this off tonight and see where we end up. But, in John 15 is a verse that has been probably the most important verse in my life for the last uh 10 or 15 years.
John 15 >> [clears throat] >> John 15 verse 7 says, "If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." Read it again. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
Four times in three chapters, God makes this a statement very similar. You will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you. Now, what I've heard my whole life is is that what we're supposed to do is to pray for whatever God tells us to pray for, and then he'll answer the prayer.
I can't disagree with that at all. That's absolutely what we learn to do. We learn to be led by the Spirit in prayer. But, there's something about this Father that we serve, that we love, that makes himself vulnerable to the desires of his people. It doesn't mean I get whatever I want.
What it means is I have the privilege of co-laboring with him to live a fulfilled life because he responds to my desires. These kinds of promises are are not I don't know how to say this right, so give me a little patience here. They're they're not just promises, they're invitations.
They're they're statements that say, "Here, this is what you were designed for. You were designed to lift up a cry that moves the heart of God. And it doesn't matter what it is. He'll do it. I don't know about you. Sometimes when promises seem to be so huge in scripture, they're just easier to read fast.
They're just they're just easier to not stop because if I stop, I may fall in this hole, you know. It's it's it's like it's so significant. But, think through this with me for a minute. If you abide in me, the context here is the vine and the branch.
It's it's the fact that there is this connection to a life source. If you abide in me, if you live conscious of the manifest presence of God, you live conscious of the presence of God, if you live in that place of continuous inspiration from the Spirit of God who is in you and upon you, you live aware of that, it affects you.
And then, you add to that the intentional embrace of what you hear God saying. Yes, of course, it has to always be consistent with scripture, from scripture, consistent with scripture, but the Lord will speak to us. And as long as there is that continuous flow of fellowship with him, faith comes by hearing, not from having heard.
Faith comes. Faith itself is the evidence of a present tense connection with a person who himself is the source of faith. And in that place of hearing, being inspired, directed, governed by the word of God, by the the voice of the Lord in our life, that that combination is the is the launching pad to personal significance that every human being was born and designed for.
To live in the conscious realization of the presence of God, and to live by the very things that come forth from his mouth. That combination puts you in a in a position, puts me in a position to ask for anything. Now, God always reserves the right to say no to any request I make that undermines my purpose.
Prayer was designed to be the point of contact where he fulfills his dream on Earth. He gave us a mandate in how to pray. We call it the Lord's Prayer. I'm not sure that's a good title cuz in in that prayer is the confession of sin, and he didn't have any.
But, he gives us a model. He gives us a pattern, a way to pray. And as far as I'm concerned, the one statement in there where he says, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven." is the essence of why we are on planet Earth.
That essence of purpose starts with starts with prayer that leads us into radical obedience, and as a result, his world invades this one and begins to shape it. The passion of the Lord is for his world to shape this one. But, he put agents, agents of heaven, on this planet to facilitate his purpose and plan.
Obviously, he can he can pull the switch and cause a military invasion of heaven at any moment and just take over and fix everything. But if he wanted to do that, he would have done that a long time ago. There's no way in the world he's going to send Jesus to die and then not have that work.
There's no way. There's no way he's going to allow his son go through the suffering that he went through and then to have to come and rescue. Most believers have more faith in the return of Christ, which is glorious, more faith in the return of Christ than they do in the power of the gospel.
It's not an either/or. It's either the gospel works or it doesn't. If it works, then there is a summons that is repeated numerous times throughout scripture, specifically in the Gospel of John. Numerous times there's the invitation to pray in such a way that the unbelievable happens. The unbelievable.
It's not me just daydreaming of what weird thing would I like to see happen on earth. It's me so in fellowship and in tune with him that he his desires shape mine. And I can lift up a cry that is genuinely my desire knowing that I got it from him.
I don't know if this makes sense to you. It's not praying uh I got to be careful cuz I I I I know what I'm going to say is not absolute, but it's a good a thought. It's not praying in a certain way cuz he commanded me to.
It's praying in a certain way because in my relationship with him, that's become my desire. We're going to read this passage again in a moment, but in John 16, I think verse 24, 25 in that area, it makes this statement again. In fact, he repeats it twice about whatever we pray for will be done.
And then he adds this little phrase at the end, that your joy may be full. So, think about that. That your joy may be full. The heavenly prescription to live in continuous fullness of joy is getting answers to prayer. It's that you will anything you ask for will will be done.
That your joy may be full. The prayer life that has fruitfulness to it keeps a person in continuous inspiration, continuous joy. See, if you don't get joy from answers to prayer, you have to get your joy from the discipline of prayer. And when you get your joy from the discipline of prayer, you start exalting form above power, routine above relationship.
It's the birthplace of religion. The spark in the believer's life is the partnership. The spark in the believer's life is that I made a connection, yes, in relationship, but out of this relationship has come this has happened in the earth because I prayed. Repeat what? The joke? >> [laughter] >> If you abide in me, verse seven, and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you.
Verse eight, by this my father is glorified that you bear much fruit and so you will be my disciples. What is this? It's answers to prayer. Whatever you ask for will be done. By this my father is glorified. Here's a strange way I'm going to make a statement that will sound strange at first, but let me walk it through.
We owe God answers to prayer. As I heard someone say recently, we owe God answers to prayer. Now now here's what happens for for most of us is that we pray pray pray, something doesn't happen, we come to the conclusion it wasn't God's will. It's really a convenient way to not deal with unanswered prayer.
It's just sweep it under the carpet called the sovereignty of God. Most of the things we pray for, hopefully, have some sort of a biblical basis. So, we pray out of knowing the will of God here. But what happened in Mark chapter nine when the dad's got a demonized son that he wants free?
And he brings that child to the disciples. And I remind you, the disciples, these guys have been sent out in pairs to their hometowns and they saw the same things happening in their ministry in pairs that happened with Jesus. They came back stunned, impressed with the fact that demons left people.
So, these [snorts] guys, these 12, are the most insightful, experienced people in deliverance to ever live besides Jesus. So, when the dad brings the child to the disciples, it's because they have a history. They have a testimony. They have experience. They're not just 12 guys hanging out on the side of the road.
These are people that have experience. If you remember the story, the father brings the child to the disciples, they do everything that they've done in the past and for whatever reason, they can't get the child free. I've had that experience. I remember a mom bringing a child to me that was horribly demonized.
I did everything I knew to do and I couldn't get the kid free. I'll never forget the look in her face. She said, "What do I do now?" You know, there is no religious answer that says, "Well, this is okay, it's God's will. There'll be another time." The Bible doesn't say someday is the day of salvation.
It says today is the day. And sometimes we make up excuses to ease our own conscience, our own pressure, you know, what we feel in a given moment. But sometimes the pain that you go home with is it's supposed to be the thing that drives you to prayer to get breakthrough.
You guys all right? Do you need more jokes? I got more. I've got I've got so many. So, they bring the child to the disciples and they can't get him free. So, then they take the child, they see Jesus and they take the child to Jesus. Interesting, they took to the disciples first.
Couldn't get him free, took him to Jesus. Jesus drove the evil spirit out and the child was free, healed. The disciples saw this, they watched this process, they were amazed. See, if that were to happen today, the disciples would be creating a theology around why something didn't happen.
Well, it's just we just don't know the timing of the Lord. There are other factors involved. You understand where where I'm going. I'm I'm confessing to you. And yet when they saw Jesus, they brought the child to Jesus. Jesus set the child free. And they took Jesus aside, they said, "How come we couldn't How come we couldn't get the child free?"
And Jesus said, "This kind only comes out with prayer and fasting." Now, that's a good thing to take away from the story is prayer and fasting can bring breakthrough. But I tell you there is something more significant to me in the story than even the key of prayer and fasting.
When the disciples didn't get an answer, they took Jesus aside. They didn't build a theology to support something that didn't work. They took him aside. For most of us, I think we become accustomed to things not working. I mean, we're Don't misunderstand me. We're so thankful for what we see happening here.
And when I see that breakthrough and I pray this prayer and I see this miracle, I mean, I'm I'm just a happy camper. I know I'm seeing more than I ever could have earned or deserved. But at the same time, if you're anything like me, you've got a number of things you've been praying about for quite a while that haven't yet resolved.
My good friend Chris Gore told us years ago, he said, "Jesus never taught on how to deal with unanswered prayers cuz he didn't have any." And I can create excuses all day long, but the point is is I'm following the one who knows how to do it always.
I'm I'm I'm working to become like him in everything. So, this isn't a guilt and shame moment. This is an invitation. It's an invitation into a seamless connection with the almighty God where not only do his thoughts become my thoughts, his dreams become my dreams, but he enables and empowers me to pray in such a way that heaven itself is moved.
And it says, "By this my father is glorified that you bear much fruit." The fruit of this connection to his presence and his word is supposed to be answers to prayer. And by this the father is glorified. I don't know how this works. I'm just telling you what goes on in my imagination.
I I have this sense. First of all, I think the the angelic realm is absolutely mystified by our relationship with God because it's not something they have access to, not in the same way. Mystified by the fact that such fallen creatures can actually be born again and become like the one they serve throughout all eternity.
Stunned by the response of a heavenly father to a broken human vessel. And so, when you pray and heaven moves and there's a breakthrough and there's an answer, I don't think the angelic realm just turns a cold shoulder to it. I think they're stunned by the fact that he has chosen to have partners on a planet, a planet of orphans.
And these partners have given themselves to represent him well, to implement his overall purpose and plan on planet Earth. Answers to prayer bring him glory. And I say that we owe him answers to prayer because he's already accomplished everything everything When Jesus said, "It is finished" at the cross, everything necessary to provide for your life and mine, whether it's financial provision, miracles of healing, or for all eternity, 100 billion years from now, we will still be living from what Jesus purchased at Calvary.
We'll still be feeding on the grace that was made available to us at Calvary. So, in a very real sense, he's already determined to do some things. Healing, for example, by the stripes of Jesus, I was healed. That's a fact. That's scripture itself. That's not a pipe dream.
That wasn't made up by some religious camp. That is a statement in scripture, "By the stripes of Jesus, I was healed." No weapon formed against me will succeed. The Holy Spirit in me gives life to this my mortal body. Jesus bore my affliction and took it to the cross where it was judged and rendered powerless.
These things are true or they're not? But they are true. So, he's already determined so many things. He's already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ. It is already settled. It's already there. Our entire life is learning how to make withdrawals from an account he created for us.
He doesn't have to die again. He doesn't have to create money again to provide. He doesn't have to do any of those things. It's It's already been set in stone. These are the things he has purposed. And so, our entire life is learning how to hear. Faith comes from hearing.
How to hear. How to abide in presence. How to stay in that place of fellowship with him. Superior value to everything else in my life is the connection with him. It's having the burning heart of affection for him, the thankfulness even in the midst of the worst trial and the greatest difficulty is the ability, the liberty to give thanks in the face of of challenge and difficulty.
Those These are moments where we we capture our moments. We capture these moments in a place of surrender to Christ cuz every step of progress in our life throughout our entire Christian life, every step of progress comes through surrender. It's all surrender. It's all us embracing his plan over ours.
Oh, give thanks in everything. Yeah, but this is so horrible. Okay. So, I give you thanks. I give you thanks in what I can't control and I don't understand. But I know you have not changed. You are faithful. You are true. You are my father. You have made covenant relationship with me.
You chosen me. I didn't choose you. You chose me. And out of that place develops an an tenderness to the voice, a tenderness to the presence, a tenderness that that as we yield to this relationship, we become productive in a way that none of us could ever earn.
It's where things happen in the earth because we thought of it. I don't want to suggest that I could have any idea that he would be impressed with that he didn't first give me. But I also don't like the concept of us being robots that he programmed. There's some sort of liberty that he's given us to dream and to pray.
And he said, "By this my father is glorified." How do you think the glory of the Lord is to fill the earth? Is it not to be through answers to prayer? Is it not to be through the miracles? When the water was turned to wine, the scripture says, "And this Jesus did manifesting his glory."
The miracle released and manifested glory. Last night so many people were healed. What was happening? The glory of God was being released. The angelic realm, the spirit realm is taking notice of the fact that God is a god of glory and he was being exalted not just by our voices, but the miracle itself testified of his covenant, of his nature.
So, you and I were designed to live in this seamless connection with the almighty God, a connection we could have never earned, but it was given to us by grace. And this connection is supposed to have offspring, fruitfulness. And it's the fact that when you pray, the father is moved and he answers.
I'm hoping tonight basically to give you a one-point message, pray and get answers. I I could have shortened it, I guess, by just telling you that at the beginning, but you and I were designed for this. And when it didn't work for the disciples, instead of creating a theology around what didn't work, they adjusted until they came into alignment with what did work.
There are some things I don't want to make this complicated. Well, let me see. I think I am. Um Sometimes sometimes praying different makes the difference. Sometimes praying different just make just it changes the situation. I don't mean every word has to be perfect. I don't mean that at all.
It's just There are sometimes there are there are things that circumstances that surround an issue that we're praying about that we don't yet understand or comprehend. And it's not like I see a demon behind every bush, but there sometimes the enemy's the problem. Sometimes he needs to be addressed.
Sometimes I'm asking God to do something he's told me to do. That's probably one of the most common issues in prayer. How many times have we heard us ask the Lord to bind the devil? Last time I read, he said, "You bind the devil." How long do you keep your job if you keep telling your boss to do what he told you to do?
And you don't want to get evicted. Let's Let's be honest here. It's We were designed for a certain things. We're designed to function in certain ways. I think it was John Wesley that said, "God does nothing in the affairs of man except in response to prayer." Which is an extraordinary statement.
He can. He's the almighty God. But you have to understand, he's glorified by his plan working. And what is the plan? The almighty God in a seamless connection with a frail and broken person that has said yes to Jesus. And in that connection, things happen that are impossible.
Outside of the reach of human talent and human ability. >> [clears throat] >> All right, look at me that way. Let's We're going to read one more portion and then we'll we'll wrap this up. I want you to go to Mark chapter 11. I'm going to try. Mark chapter 11.
Verse 20. Now, in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. Jesus had cursed it. Dried up from the roots. Peter, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look, the fig tree which you cursed has withered away." Jesus answered and said to him, "Have faith in God."
The Young's translation says, "Have the faith of God." And um Dr. Charles Price wrote a book on the real faith that is just a absolute classic. I'd highly recommend it. And in that, he talks It's basically a book based on this one verse that we are supposed to have the faith of God.
It removes the sweat from trying to have faith. See, faith isn't great faith isn't the result of great great striving. It's the result of great surrender. It's the product of yieldedness. You were actually designed to believe. Faith is the most natural expression for a believer. It might be why we're called believers.
Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God. For surely I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says."
Let's read that again. I want you to see this. You guys doing all right? Everybody good? All right. All right, verse 23. "Assuredly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says."
The faith camp didn't make up this verse. This is actually in the Bible. Jesus said it. Here's what I want you to think about. When Jesus uses an illustration like, "If you speak to this mountain and command it to be cast into the sea," he's talking about a kind of prayer from which the answer affects the entire planet.
He's talking about an answer. Let's Let's Let's put it this way. If somebody in this room were to take Mount Shasta and throw it into the Pacific Ocean, the entire planet would know within 24 hours. Not only that, many many cities, islands would be completely destroyed. I understand Jesus is not talking about moving geography, but he uses it, so it has to work.
He uses it in as an illustration because it's true. If we were to speak to a mountain with absolute confident and absolute faith, it would move. That's the kind of authority that you have. The only point I'm trying to make is Jesus actually is drawing us in to imagining what it would be like to pray and to use authority authority in such a fashion that the answer actually impacts the globe.
Do you Do you hear me? The answer He He's He's not He's not trying to create excess excessive imagination. He's He's trying to draw a picture of the purpose for which we were chosen and left on the planet. And that is to stop and to think long enough to capture the heart of God and to pick up what he's thinking, what he dreams, and then begin to not only pray it, but as we mature in prayer, we learn to pray into a place where we join our voice with his and we release the purpose of God on the earth.
We don't just ask him to come and do it. Notice he said, "Speak to the mountain." Most of us in this room have mountains in our life that will be there till we die if we don't speak to them. There are certain things that are left up to us to do.
He will not come and do them for us. It's a part of the prayer expression. As we pray into that place of tenderness, intimacy, and as we learn to abide in Christ, as we learn to abide in this place of fellowship, there's there's a there's a joining of hearts.
There's a there's a joining of hearts. There's a joining of minds where his thoughts become my thoughts, but his impressions, his dreams, they start moving me and impacting me. And it's not just so that I can make better petitions of God. It's so that I can stand in his name and make the decree to bring about the enforcement.
He says, "You speak to the mountain and it shall be removed." You and I can talk to mountains all day long and have nothing happen. But when we're in that place of abiding in Christ and his word abides in me, that voice is activated in my soul, I am positioned to make something happen.
But let me tell you what moves me most about this this particular chapter is he says, "Have faith in God." He then directs us speak to the mountain. Verse 24, he says, "Whatever you things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, you'll have them." The very next verse, "Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him."
Okay, stop for a minute. What kind of prayer are we talking about? He says, "Whenever you stand praying." So, let's use this mountain-moving concept. Whenever you come before the almighty God as your father to pray something that could affect the course of world history. So, let's keep it big, all right?
You stand before him. You could pray something that could affect the course of world history. Whenever you find yourself in that position, what do you do first? Forgive. Let me illustrate it this way. Let's say prayer is a spear. And you're about to thrust this spear into having an effect on the planet.
If that were a good illustration, then the tip of the spear is forgiveness. Then wherever you thrust forgiveness, you thrust breakthrough in prayer. >> ((applause)) >> Wherever you thrust forgiveness, wherever you take the the commitment to forgive aggressively, like warriors, looking for opportunities to forgive, because wherever you thrust that sword of forgiveness, you've positioned yourself to pray something that matters. >> [snorts] >> I don't understand it, but Jesus said it in John 20.
It said if you forgive the sins of any they'll be forgiven them. Maybe the parts of society that are the most broken instead of mocking them or isolating them maybe we should forgive them. >> ((applause)) [snorts] >> Says prophet is not without honor except in his hometown. It's what most people realize that family is the hardest group to minister to.
Which might be the reason Jesus has all of us learn ministry first at home so that we don't become addicted to applause. We actually become addicted to obedience. Many believers stay so isolated from other believers that they live under the illusion of having the fruit of the Spirit.
But if I don't have connection with people I would never know what I really have. And the cutting edge that keeps me in a place of effectiveness in my life is number one, Thanksgiving. And number two, forgiveness. A thankful heart and one that is eager to forgive. That's that's where it's at.
Yep. All right. I'm trying. I'm trying to calm down. >> [laughter] >> I don't personally, I don't have like having it when I pray for people that need a healing. I don't I don't like having a checklist. It's personal. I don't like you know, going through this list. Have you forgiven every Have you done this?
Have you done that? I don't like making it that hard. But there are times [clears throat] where in a given situation, it just becomes obvious. I Sometimes forgiveness is what brings healing. I would I would never want to say if you're struggling with a physical thing and that the the reason you still struggle is cuz you haven't forgiven.
I don't think that's always accurate. But when it is, take care of it. Unforgiveness, I think unforgiveness and disappointment have huge effects on the human body. We We know that worry causes like ulcers and things of that nature, fear, anxiety. I I think I think regret has a similar fear effect to anxiety.
I think unforgiveness and disappointment that's not dealt with has an effect on the human soul, which affects the body. And learning to live clean before the Lord. By clean, I mean uh in a place where uh where where I'm current. I'm current in my relationship. You know, it says don't go to bed angry.
Don't let the sun go down in your anger. I'm I'm current in my relationship. I don't I don't go to bed with issues unsettled. I'm going to go to to bed to sleep to rest completely surrendering everything to Jesus, to his lordship. And something happens as we learn to live in that prosperity of soul.
Is it affects our health, it affects our relationships, it affects our family life. It affects our finances. Everything. There's a domino effect of choosing to live with a healthy inner world. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire realized is a tree of life. Hope deferred [clears throat] deferred makes me vulnerable to emotional and mental torment.
If I don't deal with it. But desire realized takes me to the tree of life. What is the tree of life? The tree of life was that which marked eternal purpose. If that's true, then desire realized is my eternal purpose. Is that co-laboring with God to see the fulfillment of all that he's created me for?
That's a part of my eternal purpose. That was a really a good point, Bill. A really good point. Oh, it's too late. You had your chance. I'm I'm done with So [clears throat] I I think that we're going to pray for folks, of course, and and watch as Jesus heals a bunch of people again.
But I I think it would be really good for us I I rarely rarely rarely uh deal with this at a corporate level uh for prayer. But But I I think we're just supposed to pray and declare forgiveness over situations. People in our lives, circumstances that the enemy has used to rob us.
I I just I just think it's good to stay current in my relationship. And really I Does this make sense to anybody else? Do you Do you understand this? This this this this currency of heaven that I I have chosen to live in a way that I'm going to use forgiveness as a weapon.
And it's not a weapon against people. It's a It's a weapon against the powers of darkness so that they have nothing that they can hold against me. Jesus said, he said, "Satan has nothing in me." There was no attachment whatsoever. And and that's that's what we were designed for.
So, I'm going to have you stand for a moment. You won't be standing alone, but stand up for a moment. >> [clears throat] >> And I I'd like it for for our our teams over here, any of you that have words of knowledge, we want to We're going to give you a chance to do those in just a moment. >> [sighs] >> How many of you can think of anything that you would really like to pray about right now?
Just some situation. Yeah. You know, sometimes I don't feel like I have resentment, but I also don't feel like my hands are clean. If that makes sense. Sometimes I feel like I'm not angry, I'm not bitter, but I feel like I'm holding on to the pain of what happened.
Does that make sense? It's like I'm holding on to evidence, almost like I'm holding in case I need this in the future. Does that make sense? How about how about we embrace forgiveness as a lifestyle? Pray on that right now. In In your way, put it in your words.
I want you to pray it out loud. Not this quiet in the heart stuff, save that for Starbucks. Right now, I want you to pray out loud. You don't have to yell, but I want you to pray regarding this. I'm I choose to take forgiveness as a lifestyle.
I will walk in forgiveness. I will look for broken situations to speak health and healing into. Now, I want you to pray about any situation a person that the Lord just brought to mind or something that you thought of. I want I want everyone to make sure conscience is clean.
Lord, I commit this situation to you. I refuse to harbor resentment. Some of you need to forgive someone. I want you to confess it. I forgive Johnny. I forgive him for what he did against me. I release him from all my judgment. I ask for your grace, your blessing to rest on his life.
Whatever it might be, just do that right now. And once again, pray it out loud. It doesn't have to be loud, but let it be bold enough that it it's it's on your lips. Thank you, Lord. I want you just to be able to say, "I release I release and mention their name or maybe a situation."
It could be the IRS, my goodness, it could be whoever. Uh just I I release from my judgment. Uh you know, it doesn't bitterness against IRS is the same as bitterness against a person. Cuz bitterness is what kills us. So, just take this thing to heart right now.
Well, we want to be healthy on the inside. We want to be have prosperity on the inside and on the way we think and the way we handle situations. God, I'm I'm asking that divine health would be our portion, divine health that would come because we have a healthy inner world.
The way we think, the way we dream. Now, lay hands on somebody shorter next to you. And tell them, "You [clears throat] really needed to hear this tonight." You just You just tell them, "You needed this and I'm really praying for you. I'm praying for you." All right, let's let's do this.
I seriously, I want you to pray for each other right now for prosperity of soul. That they would be as rich on the inside as Jesus is in heavenly places. That's where our wealth comes from. Prosperity of soul. Prosperity of soul. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Pray for divine health, too.
For that Honestly, pray Make this a regular part of your prayer life. Divine health. Israel had it in the wilderness. It would be horrible to come to the end of time and have that the only generation that tastes of divine health. Give us the secrets, the wisdom to walk in divine health.
Thank you, Lord. All right, you did good. You You can go ahead and sit down. Maybe hug somebody's neck or something first. Aren't you? Go ahead and be seated. We're going to pray for folks. All right. >> [clears throat] >> I've I've got a team here. We're going to give words of knowledge in a moment, but I want to pray for one thing together before [clears throat] I bring them up.
And uh it's something that I have seen actually a few thousand people healed of uh through the years. And that is actually we quit counting about 15 years ago. And it was up to 2,600 people then. And it's been like almost every week for for so many years.
And that's people that have lingering effects from accidents. It could be automobile. It could be a football injury you suffered in high school 50 years ago. Doesn't matter what it is, but there was an injury that took place because of an accident and you have lingering effects of that.
Put a hand up if that's you. I want to see who you are. Wow. All right, I want you to stand if that's you. Uh if your if your hand is up. >> [clears throat] [clears throat] >> Something that I learned actually quite by accident a number of years ago was that sometimes an injury is sustained because of a spirit of infirmity.
And I and I I don't want to at all pronounce you are demonized or something. I I just want to say that there our body was designed to heal itself. And sometimes there are lingering effects that were supposed to be recovered, but the enemy has sustained Here's what happens is you learn to live with pain and unintentionally give place to affliction to sustain the problem.
Did that make sense to anybody? All right. Now, if it made sense to you, then I then we're going to pray together specifically for that area for you. Because um I I've just I've watched it for so many years, hundreds and hundreds of people that just simply coming against the spirit of infirmity.
Just Just declaring, "That ends tonight." It's not a big battle. It's just It's just the enemy's a thief. And he likes to steal from people um continuously. And it's illegal. He's Your body belongs to the Lord. So, he has messed with government property. So, here's all I want you to do.
As those of you that are uh I want somebody sitting that's sitting by someone who's standing is just go to them. Find out what part of the body needs to be healed. Put your hand on it if it's a proper place to lay your hand. All tailbones, you just lay your hands on their shoulder.
All right, make sure everybody who's standing has somebody praying for them. Okay, find out what to pray for. What's the area that needs the miracle? Can I speak to the condition? We command this bone to be reset in the name of the Lord Jesus. We speak to that tendon, the inflammation be gone now in the name of the Lord.
Numbness be gone. We speak life. The numbness in the hands, the numbness in the feet, stop it right now. Come to life. Circulation be restored. Nerve damage be healed in the name of the Lord Jesus. Okay, you've got about 15 seconds. Okay. All right, that's good. End your prayer.
End your prayer, but stay with the person. Okay. End your prayer, but stay with the person. You were here last night, so you know what to do. Everyone who received prayer right now try to do something you couldn't do, was difficult to do, a restricted movement, pain, whatever it might be.
Start to move around, examine yourself right now. And everyone who is at least 80% better, I want you to wave your hands over your head like this. I want I want us to see who you are. Okay, we've got over here. We've another one there, another there. Another one down over here.

But unless they have something else. Honestly, I want you to pray for the person again if they have any other effects cuz here here's what's happening is the Lord is doing a restoration of lost and broken things, things that seemed hopeless. 50-year-old injuries seems hopeless, but it's not for Jesus.
So, I want you to turn and pray again. Speak life into that condition. We're going to give you about 2 minutes or so for this. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Remember, speak to the condition. I rebuke the spirit of infirmity. You have sustained this accident long enough.

So, when I was 18, I was riding on the back of a motorcycle and it had one of those bars and we went over a railroad track and I went up in the air.
When I came down, I hit my tailbone on that bar and uh went to the doctor and he said that the last three bones in my tail my tailbone are now uh curved outward and uh so every once in a while it pinches a nerve and that's where I get the pain.
But now I'm like 95% healed right now. >> Yeah, yeah. >> To God be the glory. That's awesome. Thank you, Lord. >> ((applause)) >> Beautiful. Yeah, come on up. Hi. Yes. So, 24 years ago Fabio took me for motocross out in the hills with a couple friends of mine and he and I never done it before but I he's like no big deal you just get on it and you just do your thing and you do the so I was too proud to you know be afraid so I get on this thing and at some point fear took over and I and I flew off the bike.
Well I was again too proud to say that my back was in serious pain cuz I didn't want to look like I was a wimp and so 24 years ago I had amazing pain on my back and it's kind of would go away and come back and get massages over the years never really complain too much but now that I'm almost 60 I got a lot of arthritis setting in and honestly it's been hurting me almost every day at a probably about a eight and tonight I got a 100% healing in the name of Jesus.
Thank you Lord. That's beautiful. >> ((applause)) >> All right. This is the accident I was in. Wow. So That's I don't know if you can see it but my my car went underneath the container truck. I was flipped open it's not 70 times the only thing that was broken was three broken bones and my finger wasn't able to to be straight right so I just left it because it didn't bother me for 15 years and when I came to this conference the Lord told me I'm going to heal your finger.
It doesn't matter how big or how small that injury is but God cares about it but if it's just one little finger he is going to heal you tonight. Beautiful. If he cares about every little detail that you have he is going to heal you tonight. >> Beautiful.
And he has healed me and I have healed a lot of other people but he has healed me. >> What finger? This one. That one here? You couldn't straighten it? Straighten it. Oh I couldn't it's not straight when I bend it. Now it's straight. Isn't that awesome? Praise God. >> what?
