(Singing:)  "A new move of God is being born . . ."

Let's stand and sing that one time.  I feel the anointing on that.

"A new move of God is being born . . ."

Lord, we want that in our own lives.  Oh, God.  (Tongues)  How many of you want that in your own life?  Let's just sing it as declaration.

"A new move of God is being born . . ."  Right here in me this morning, Lord.  Right here in me.
        
Hallelujah.  Let's just praise the Lord for a few moments.  We praise You this morning, Lord.  We glorify You in this house, oh God.  We could never thank You enough for what You mean to us.  That You woke us up this morning in our right mind, that there was a desire on the inside of the inside to come and praise You today, to worship You, to give You glory and praise, oh God.

So many go about their lives doing their own things.  We thank You, not because of us, but because of You.  

You've placed something within us that caused us to want to glorify You with our lives.  We bless You, Yeshua HaMashiach.  We glorify You.

Would You anoint our eyes with eye salve that we can see You, Lord, face to face?  In the fullness of Your Word, reveal Yourself to us today.

Oh God, in Jerusalem, reveal Yourself to us.  And as this little meeting goes out to the nations of the world, let Your glory be upon it, oh God, let Your touch be on it, Jesus.  

We bless You.  We glorify You for what we know and what we feel, even in our midst this day.  Hallelujah.

Sing this with me before we look to the Word of God.  

(Singing:)  "When I'm standing in the Presence of the Lord . . ."

Hallelujah.  Oh, again we praise You today.  Wonderful is the Lord.  Hallelujah.  Wonderful is the Lord.  Bless His holy Name.  Amen.  

While we're standing this morning, let's open our Bibles to the book of Exodus.  

Exodus, chapter 6 . . .

And while you're turning, we want to welcome those who could not be with us this morning in Jerusalem but who are streaming with us over the computer in many nations of the world.  We have nine different streams going on right now.  We just send love to all of our friends.  

God is good to us this morning.  There's a wonderful touch of His Presence here.  Hallelujah.  We glorify You, Lord.  Hallelujah.  Thank You, wonderful Lord.  Hallelujah.  Amen.

And then in the meeting, already, just this handful of people, but we have other nations represented.  Norway, Denmark, Berlin and the United States.

What's that?  Oh.  Hallelujah.  I guess Berlin is a part of Germany.  I guess the wall has come down.  Hallelujah.

I'm a little late in reading the news, but when we used to travel in Europe, if anyone was ever in the meeting from Berlin, that was special because it was a little bit more difficult for them to be with us so we say it that way.  Sorry.

Exodus, chapter 6, beginning in verse 1.  

1.  Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

2.  And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord (I am Adonai):

3.  And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah (Yahveh) was I not known to them.

4.  And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

5.  And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.         

It's always good to hear that the Lord is remembering His Covenant.  

Verse 6,

6.  Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:

7.  And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8.  And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am the Lord.

And then I want to get just at least one more verse.

9.  And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

Maybe we'll read that verse again.

9.  And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

Father, we thank You this morning for the worship that has brought Your Presence near.

And Lord, we pray that Your Word will go forth from Jerusalem this day with power and authority and that it will accomplish in our lives all that would be pleasing to You - not only for those of us who are gathered in this meeting house, but Lord, also for those who are streaming in various nations of the world who need a Word from You.  

Lord, let it be today, the day that You could speak to that that is deep within us and that we would have the response that You would desire for us to have, that we could apply it to our own life, our own situation and circumstance, and that we could raise up from this place to give You more glory and to give You more honor with our lives.

And we'll give You the praise for all that is accomplished.  Bashem Adonai Yeshua HaMashiach, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.  And the church said, "Amen."  

You may be seated.

I have a commission this morning from the Lord to be a news reporter.  That is my commission for this service.  I want to report to you that which God is doing right now in different places around the world, and I believe that it has significance for us.

And then I want to use verse 9 to express something that I believe the Lord has placed in my heart for this little gathering together.  

In order to report the news, I'll have to do a little bit of reading, but I think you'll find it interesting.  

In the last couple months, I've been in two conferences in the United States.  And in both of these conferences, Chuck Pierce was a speaker.  And anybody who is familiar with the prophetic movement in the United States and abroad will recognize the name Chuck Pierce.

He walks in covenant with Peter Wagner and his wife and several other very outstanding men and women who have been used of God to proclaim some very powerful words.  

I have felt such a witness in my spirit for, oh, probably two or three years now concerning some of the things that Chuck Pierce has spoken.  

And he was just in Nashville.  I wasn't able to go to this meeting.  It was while we were flying over here.  But I wanted to go.  

It was a gathering of prophetic people from all over the United States.  And there were over two thousand people who gathered together in a large hotel, the Opryland Hotel, in Nashville, Tennessee.

And there were some mighty things that were spoken and accomplished in that meeting.  And I want to read to you a brief portion of the report that Chuck Pierce sent out today to those who are on his list.

He said, "We have just returned from one of the most incredible gatherings that Global Harvest Ministries has ever sponsored.  Peter Wagner convened the International Congress on Prophecy and Prophetic Ministry in Nashville, Tennessee.

"There was a spiritual dynamic in this conference that was incredible.  Peter Wagner, Ricky Skaggs  (who is a very famous country music star in America who is also a Spirit-filled Christian), and Cindy Jacobs led us in a faith-filled joyous first day.

"During the night, I was awakened and the Lord said, 'I am ready to visit this place.  Be alert to recognize My Presence.'  The next morning, worship engaged any forces that were attempting to block the Spirit of God from invading the gathering.

"Paul Keith Davis then brought forth an incredible message on the gathering angels.  When the power of God came into the International Congress on Prophecy, Paul Keith began to admonish us to come into agreement with the angelic forces that had encamped around us.  (Psalm 34)

"The power of God was so strong - I was standing on the stage to make the transition from Paul Keith's message to our break, and all of a sudden, my mouth began to move inside.  It was like an explosion was going on inside my mouth.  

"I felt words forming and my mouth was just quivering like an earthquake was occurring.  Paul Keith walked over and laid his hand on me and began to decree that the message God was forming in me would have great impact in days ahead.

"I could not stand under the power of the anointing that was so present.  I fell down on the stage with the bright lights shining on me.  But then, all of a sudden, everything turned black.  I asked the Lord what was happening.

"And He replied in my spirit, 'I am moving My people under shrouds of death that have blocked My glory from being seen in earthly realms.  I will form the words within their mouth for I have stored life and light down deep, even within their bone marrow.

"'When they speak, the shroud of death over lands, families, cities and nations will begin to disintegrate.  This will unlock My Kingdom to advance.  I am preparing harvesting angels to co-labor with you as you break this shroud of death by speaking what I am saying from heaven.'"

He said, "I believe this word is for each one of us.  The Lord began to show me how evil plots were working under these dark coverings.  If we will allow Him to move us into place with His Word burning within us, His Fire will begin to expose and destroy this evil plan of the enemy."

He said, "I saw certain states - Kentucky first, then several of the Gulf Coast states - and various cities that the Lord was going to visit this year."  

In a conference just a few weeks ago where we were, Chuck Pierce said that he had seen the Lord moving in the Gulf Coast states, starting with Alabama and the area around the coast and the beach and coming north.

He said, "Then I had a Word of knowledge.  The number 183 formed.  Then I heard the Lord say, 'Eat my Words for 183 days.'  A while later, I was sitting next to a lady and we looked at her calendar and found that this time frame, a hundred and eighty-three days, would take us to the beginning of Yom Kippur and the Hebraic year 5767."

He said, "I want to suggest that you begin by reading Psalm 34.  If you're not doing the 25-day prayer focus, begin now.  The Lord showed me that if we will taste and see that He is good, then our future will soon be revealed to us.

"The more we eat His Word, the more we will discern our future."  I like that.

"I will write a complete report on this later."  

And then he gives another little Word that I feel is really good concerning Passover because we are entering into that season now.  It's upon us.  It's just a few days away.

And he said that Passover is a representation of a crossing-over time.  And he said that every crossing over has three phases to it - first death, then confusion and then something new.

And he gives a very detailed Scriptural explanation.  It would take a long time to read every verse that he gives.

But he uses the Hebrew word "avar" meaning "to cross over" or "to pass over."  And he said it's also used to refer to the crossing of a stream or a barrier.

It's used concerning the invasion of a country or a nation.  It's used in another place concerning crossing a boundary against a hostile army, or to march over, or to go over.  

It's used in Isaiah concerning the overflowing of the banks of a river, or passing through natural barriers or walls.  

And even in Numbers, it's used concerning the passing of a razor over someone's head.  All of these instances using the Hebrew word "avar" meaning "to cross over."

He said, "As a verb, the word is used in relationship to sin or transgression.  One passes beyond the limits set by God's Law and falls into transgression and sin.  Passover is a key time for the church to understand for us to enter into our full redemptive purpose.

"The church had continued to celebrate this feast for over three hundred years after the Lord's crucifixion."  

For three hundred years after the Lord Jesus was crucified, the church entity was still celebrating Passover.  It wasn't until Constantine came on the scene and forbade its celebration in the fourth century . . .

And he says, "The world and the enemy hate the Blood.  This was also where we shifted to the Gregorian calendar to stop us from staying in God's perfect timing.  Hell hates for us to have an understanding of the Feast of Passover because the celebration of this time unlocks our redemptive purposes for the future.  

"Exodus 23 says if we will participate in these feasts then the Lord will assign angels to guide us into our promises.  Angels are being dispatched to help you enter into what the Lord has for you.  We must remember that in preparing for their redemption, the children of Israel's situation, their situation got worse before it got better.

"The next three months are key to our advancing forward at an accelerated rate.  God had heard the cry of the Israelites, the hard labor they were under, and remembered and acknowledged His Covenant with them.

"He found a deliverer; Moses, who would inform Israel that God had come to fulfill His promise to take her over.  Moses, the deliverer, also had the marching order from God to go to Pharaoh and command him to allow Israel to journey into the desert and worship Him.

"Israel responded to these changes with great enthusiasm, and the people believed and heard that God had come to redeem His people.  Sometimes things get worse before the breakthrough comes."

Has anybody ever experienced that in your life?  That often times things get a little bit worse.  We used to say, and also sing a song, that says, "The darkest hour comes just before the dawn."  Just before the sun is rising, the hour gets very dark.  

And he goes on to say a few other things that I think are special, but I'm not going to take the time to share them right now.  

He ends with the Scriptures that I read to you from Exodus, chapter 6, verses 1 through 9.  

I want to read them again, but this time in the Amplified version of the Bible, and see if you can see perhaps what the Lord is saying.  

In the Amplified Bible it says,

1.  Then the Lord said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for [compelled] by a strong hand he will [not only] let them go, but he will drive them out of his land with a strong hand.

2.  And God said to Moses, I am the Lord.

3.  I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty [El-Shaddai], but by My name the Lord [Yahweh - the redemptive name of God] I did not make Myself known to them [in acts and great miracles].

4.  I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their temporary residence in which they were strangers.
      
5.  I have also heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians have enslaved; and I have [earnestly] remembered My covenant [with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob].

6.  Accordingly, say to the Israelites, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will free you from their bondage, and I will rescue you with an outstretched arm [with special and vigorous action] and by mighty acts of judgment.

7.  And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that it is I, the Lord your God, Who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.  

Listen now.  

8.  And I will bring you into the land concerning which I lifted up My hand and swore that I would give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage.  I am the Lord [you have the pledge of My changeless omnipotence and faithfulness].  

And then listen at this phrase.  This is something that really spoke to me.

9.  Moses told this to the Israelites, but they refused to listen to Moses because of their impatience and anguish of spirit and because of their cruel bondage.  

When I read that, both in the Amplified and in the King James Version, this morning and then prayed, I felt the Lord speaking to me just a little bit about hindrances that sometimes form in our lives to keep us from hearing the Word that the Lord is trying to give us.

You know, sometimes God speaks to us in various ways and we're only able to get the surface of what He's saying.  We only get the part that we can easily relate to.  

Sometimes we only discern the part that's good or the part that promises blessing to us.  And we fail to listen to exactly what God is saying.

And here was the Word that the Lord gave me in Proverbs, chapter 18 and verse 14.  This is what the Lord spoke into my spirit.  

He said in Proverbs 18:14,  

14.  The spirit of a man . . .

I've wrote it here.

14.  The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

14.  The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

When we consider the Jewish people here in Israel and we see the inner strength that God has placed within them, we often comment about this . . .  It's unprecedented.  It's unparalleled.  

There's never been a people like this people who can experience a terrible explosion one afternoon at a bus stop and the next day the bus stop has been replaced.

There's a new one in it's place.  And you can stand and watch the same bus number . . .  Just say it's bus 18.  And there's a bombing on bus 18, and it takes away the bus, and it kills people, and it destroys the bus stop.  

But the next day, there's a new bus stop there and there's a whole line of people waiting to catch bus 18.

There's just nothing like that.  It doesn't happen that way in America.  America has never gotten over September the 11th.  

They're just as grieved and broken . . .  People are . . .   You know, some people won't even go to New York.  

Some people still won't fly an airplane because they're so afraid that someone is going to get on the airplane and crash the airplane.

But that's not the spirit that the Jewish people have.  God has placed within them this tenacity, this great spiritual gift, to get up and go anyway, and to believe and not to be stopped by obstacles and by hindrances.

And we need that in the Spirit sometime.  Because we've been in bondage and we have known the oppression of the enemy.  

There is a Word that I might would share with you sometime that had just come my way from one of the men in America, another man who is considered very prophetic, Bob Jones.

And he just had an experience with an angel who said to him, "I am Breakthrough Revival."  

And you know, we need a breakthrough.  We need a breakthrough revival.  And this angel who spoke to him said, "I have now been assigned to America."

And he began to relate to Bob Jones some of his previous assignments.  And he began to tell him, "I was once assigned to such and such a man and these are the results."  

And he began to tell Bob the results.  Bob Jones is 74 years old.  And he is not a student of past revivals.  And he said that he literally learned things that God had done and it was confirmed to him later that this was true, that these things really happened, things that he had never heard about.

And then the angel said, "And then I was assigned to such and such a place in such and such a ministry, and this, and this, and this and the other happened.  And then I was assigned here."  

This particular angel just began to share with him all the places that he had been, and ministered, and who he worked with, and what was accomplished.

And the most recent . . . what would you say . . .  appointment that this angel had was in Africa with Benson . . .  How do you pronounce his name?  Idahosa?  Idahosa.  

And anybody who knows anything about the way that Benson Idahosa was used in revival in Africa knows that it was one of the most outstanding pouring out of God's Spirit in modern times - the dead being raised and blind eyes being opened and demon people being set free.

And now this breakthrough angel said, or breakthrough revival angel said, "I've been assigned to . . ."  

Why don't I just read one little portion of it to you so that I don't miss it?  There's just one little thing that if I could find it real quick . . .  I didn't mark it down.

"But he said, 'My name is Breakthrough.  I have now been assigned to the United States.'  

"For thirty minutes, the angel began to explain to him this historical account of revivals, and his job, sort of, or his place in those revivals.  He shared his involvement in the life of Benson Idahosa and how that God had brought great revival to Nigeria."

And then he said, "The angel specifically stated that he had been in the United States for approximately two years."  

I know this is stretch for some people.  You know, it's just too much.  But it's not for me.

He said, "The angel said he'd been in the United States already for two years laying the groundwork for this next move of God."  

Now I wanted to just . . .  Just give me one moment and see if I can find that one little portion that I thought was . . .

"The angel called Breakthrough continued to speak with Bob about God's end-time strategy.  He shared how Benson Idahosa was often commissioned into a nation or region with God's mandate.  No matter what the opposition was, all obstacles were removed through breakthroughs so that a harvest of souls could be achieved.

"The angel then told Bob that everything he was observing in the vision was a prophecy.  He then asked him, 'What do you see?'  Bob replied as he saw other angels, 'Their appearance seems so ordinary.'  The angel's response was, 'Precisely.'"

Listen at this.  

"We are going to work with ordinary people who have fully yielded their spirit and their soul and their body to the Lord."  

Not super stars, but ordinary people strategically placed in various areas were going to be used in mighty ways in this last mobilization.

He said, "It's the Lord's intent during this season to fully mobilize the Body of Christ into its function as God's intermediary on the earth.  The foremost responsibility of the five-fold ministry is to equip God's people to do the work of the ministry.

"Even the feeblest among us should be as noble and victorious as the great worshiper warrior King David.  This angel, Breakthrough, then shouted, 'Move, move, move.'  From this, Bob knew that there would be at least three major expressions of this spiritual dynamic soon to take place.

"It also articulated our directive to move in faith on the earth in order to cooperate in the spirit with this heavenly host of angels that are being released in this hour.  'And as you go, preach . . .'"  

And he gives the Scripture, "' . . . declaring the kingdom of heaven is at hand.  Heal the sick.  Raise the dead.  Cleanse the leper.  Cast out demons.  Freely you've received and freely give.'

"David came to that place that we read about in 2 Samuel, chapter 5, and defeated the enemy there."

Remember that place of breakthroughs.  "'The Lord has broken through my enemies before me like the breakthrough of waters.'"

And there's other things here that we can perhaps think about another time.  Paul Keith Davis sent this update out with this vision.

I believe that it is significant because there was a vision that had come earlier concerning angels that gather.  And if you'll remember in the Book of Matthew, it talks about the harvest and it talks about the angels gathering the wheat to the barn.

But did you know that it also says that these angels will come to gather the obstacles and the hindrances out of the way?  

And then it goes on to describe the tares.  That these angels will not only . . .  Let's see.  We can find that real quick cause some people look like they don't know the Bible says that.

So let's see if we can find it real quick.  We're going to get to something in a minute.  

Matthew, chapter 13 - let's see if we can find that verse.  Verse 37:

37.  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38.  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39.  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40.  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41.  The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

How many of you can see that in your Bible?

These gathering angels will not only gather the wheat and the tares but things.  

Notice, He didn't just say, "Them that are evil or wicked," but it says, "These angels will gather all things that offend."

Obstacles . . .  In another version, it talks about stumbling blocks.  It says, "The Son of man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, all hindrances, and those who commit lawlessness."

So there's clearly an indication that the Lord is going to remove the wicked, that He's going to remove the tares, He's going to bind up those who commit lawlessness.  

But there's also a clear word here that God is going to remove all things that hinder - all hindrances, all stumbling blocks, all things that . . .

And how many of you understand what it takes to do that?  It takes breakthrough.  You see, David when he came to this place of Baal-perazim, he said, "This is a breakthrough and it's breaking through like the pushing forth of waters."

And we've just seen that in Israel this week.  We've seen down near Qumran how the wadi flooded in just a few minutes - this dry river bed with just a little bit of rain.  And it literally flooded and washed through this wadi just down the road a bit at Qumran.

And then the junction at Megiddo, the junction Megiddo, was completely flooded.  A car was completely underneath the water.  

And as we were driving up the Jordan Valley this week, we could look up and see some of those dry wadis.  It had been sprinkling rain - not pouring - sprinkling rain, and yet you could see the water rushing down those wadis.  

And some places it was going over the road a little bit.  And in some places, the road had a pipe underneath and it was going through.

It's amazing what happens here with just a little bit of rain in this dry ground, and it just comes rushing down and it really can break through.  

We've all gone down to Ein Gedi, and we've seen where some years ago the water washed away the asphalt.  It completely destroyed the road, and they had to come and build another road.

Something got in the water's way and the water, because it's such a powerful force . . . it just made it's own path.  And it just . . . the word in Hebrew, breakthrough, translated in English . . . it just broke through.  

And it removed all hindrances and everything that would keep us from hearing the clear Word that God is speaking into our lives.

I know this is scattered, and you're wondering where in the world I'm going.  

This verse that God gave me in Proverbs says basically this, "The spirit of man is generally strong enough to help him to endure infirmity."

Most everybody has within their own spirit enough strength to endure hardship.  There's just something that God has placed within us.  

We were talking about the Jewish people.  The spirit of man has something in him to sustain him in infirmity.

In other words, when we go through hardship . . .  There are people who don't have the Lord and somehow they're able in most cases, in a lot of cases, to endure these terrible things that happen in their life.

We, as Christians, say, "How do people make it without the Lord?"  And we still wonder that.

But we have to understand that the Scripture said that in the very spirit of man there is something that helps him to endure infirmity.  

But there is something that cripples man.  There is something that slows man down.

How many of you know what it is?  The next phrase of that verse says,

14.  . . . but a wounded spirit who can bear?

There's something within the spirit of man that helps us to endure infirmity.  But once our spirit, the spirit of man . . .  We're not talking about the Holy Spirit.  We're talking about the spirit of man.

Once the spirit of man becomes wounded, it buckles his knees.  

It can be disease, and the spirit of man helps him to be sustained through disease.  It can be financial hardship, and yet there's something in us . . .

Well, what do they often call that?  You know, this . . . not the fight for survival, but it's an instinct.  What do we use - the expression?  Survival instinct, or something like that.

There's just something within us.  God has made us in such a way that we are survivors.

And when we get knocked down, the spirit of man is such that he rises up.  Can I give you a terrible example, an awful example?  

But let me give you the example of Saddam Hussein for just a moment.  He is a broken man, but he doesn't know it.  There's something . . .  He has such a survival mode in him that really he has deceived . . .  

You know the spirit of man can be deceptive.  You can deceive yourself by your own spirit.

And he has deceived his self that if he can drag this thing out long enough, and if his friends can kill enough of the opposing attorneys, and if he can get up and walk out of the courtroom and do all the crazy things that he's been doing lately, even this week, he's really hoping that he will one day begin to be able to rally the troops.

And he has publicly declared that he is still the leader of Iraq and that one day he will once again be in command.
  
Now some people might say, "He's just saying that for foolishness."  No, he's saying it because he has such a survivor mode and instinct that somewhere in his mind he has deceived himself and he thinks he's going to be able to make it through, even this terrible situation that he's in right now, facing this great court - or not great court, this court.

Yet he's saying, "I will once again lead."  There's something in the spirit of man, and no matter what they do to try to crush him . . .  

You know, they took his picture in his boxer shorts, but that didn't crush him enough.  And they drug him out of the hole and that didn't crush him enough.

But the Bible said the spirit of a man will sustain him in his infirmity, but a wounded spirit, who can bear it?  Who can stand under the load of a wounded spirit?  

And the Bible said here in verse 9 . . .  Moses was trying to speak a word to the children of Israel that they should begin to prepare themselves to cross over and take the Promised Land.  

But the Bible said, in Exodus 6:9, they hearkened not unto him.  

They could not hear him and obey him because of the anguish in their spirit.  Do you understand what had happened to them?  Their spirit had been wounded.  

Their spirit . . .  What spirit?  The Holy Spirit?  No.  The spirit of man that is generally able to sustain us through all infirmity.  

But once the spirit of man has been wounded . . .

I'll tell you how I saw it in the Spirit when I read this Scripture this morning.  

I saw it like a beautiful rose that had bloomed and began to open up.  And you take that beautiful rose in your hand.  You've seen it happen maybe.  

There's a song about the Lord, about Yeshua being the rose and being crushed and being trampled.  Maybe that's why I saw it that way in my spirit.  

You take that rose.  It's like the spirit of man.  It's beautiful.  It's enduring.  It's what God has placed within him.  

But it only takes a hand to take that bloom and crush it.  And once it's crushed, the petals fall apart.  It's no longer beautiful anymore.

And I'm sensing in my spirit that we, some of us, are standing before the Lord today like the children of Israel.  

We cannot hear the real clear Word that God wants us to hear because our spirit has been wounded, our spirit has been crushed.

And this . . .  Perhaps it's not present circumstances.  Perhaps it's years ago.  Perhaps it's things that we endured when we were children, when we were young, when we had first come to the Lord.  

But I sense that this is not just a message for the few of us that are here today.  But it's a message that people really need to hear.

Because we don't want anything that would hinder us from being able to hear the instruction and the preparation that the Lord desires to sow into us that we would be able to cross over the Jordan and go in and take all the possessions that the Lord has promised to us.

In this other translation, it read . . .  If I can go back and get it . . .  It read in this Amplified version . . .

It said, "Moses told this . . ."  

Moses was telling the children of Israel that God is going to keep His Covenant.  He's come down and promised that He's going to keep His promises, that He's going to keep His Covenant, that He's not going to forsake us, that He's not going to let us lose our inheritance.

But the people couldn't hear it.  They couldn't hear that God had come down and spoken to Moses.

And why couldn't they hear it?  They couldn't hear it for several reasons.  In the Amplified version, it says they couldn't hear it because of their impatience.  

(This would be a good place to have some water.)  

They couldn't hear it because of their impatience.  I know this wouldn't apply to anybody in this room, but maybe someone will hear it.  

Sometimes it's hard to hear from the Lord because we're impatient.  We're human, aren't we?  We're human.

And we get impatient and we say, "Lord, I'm waiting on You, but hurry.  I'm waiting on You to move, but move now."  

And according to this, impatience is something that can cloud our hearing.  It can somehow hinder us.

And you know, I feel like in some way we can pray and ask that the Lord would send those gathering angels, that they would come to us in our lives and help gather out all the things that hinder, all the things that are stumbling blocks.  

And if your impatience is a stumbling block that keeps you, or prevents you, from knowing the perfect will of God, then I'd like to release my impatience to the Lord.  

And I've tried to do that before.  And it's not easy to do it.  Maybe I need some help.

Maybe I need some of those angels that gather to come and gather out all those offending things that hinder me from knowing God's perfect will and His perfect . . .  

Do you know, you can know the will of God and miss the timing.  

You can know the will of God and not discern the right timing for it.  I've done that many, many times.  

You can know the will of God and yet miss the timing of His will and what He's going to reveal.

This would be a real good time to read this to you that I brought.  It was spoken right here in this chapel last year on March the 12th.

"I saw the feet of the Lord.  I knew that it was His feet.  It was the feet of Yeshua.  I saw the bottom of His robe, and I saw His feet.  His feet were bare, not even shod with sandals.  I saw Him walking.  I saw the dust stirred up around His feet and the dust clouds were growing.

"It started like little puffs of dust that were scattered as He was walking almost with heavy feet on the ground.  And I realized in the Spirit that the Lord was saying something.  By this time, I saw that the Messiah was walking with heavy feet.

"I've never experienced it that way before.  But I sense that He was walking with heavy feet, determined steps.  He was making determined steps, and something is being stirred around us.  I saw in His determined steps that He was bringing healing for our bodies.

"I saw in those determined steps that He was bringing relief for our minds and rest for our spirits.  I saw in those determined steps that He was bringing deliverance from every oppressing spirit (amen) and every attacking spirit that has come from hell to hinder our way.

"I see the Lord is not angry, but He is determined as He walks toward us this morning.  And we will receive him with glad shouts of 'Hosanna.'  I sense that we're very much aware of the unrest and the unsettledness that's going on in this Land.  But I see that the Lord is walking toward us with determined steps.

"In the Spirit, the Lord's feet are bare because He's coming in haste.  He's not taking time to latch on His sandals.  But He's moving in haste as you would run out of the house without your shoes in a hurry if you would hear a noise in the street.

"I see that God is saying He has an appointment with us and that something is changing at Pesach time.  And again I'm getting in the Spirit the Word of the Lord like to the prophet that we should leave in haste.  That's what he said to Moses.  Remember how they were to have everything ready to go when that Word of the Lord came."

And I'm just skipping.  There's too much here to receive it all.  But there was a Word about the Spoken Word and different things.  And great change.  And you know, I remember this Word and yet I had forgotten it.  I remember it, and yet I had forgotten it.

And I saw the prayer directives that came from our ministry this week.  And I saw as I was making the approval to send back for them to release them . . . I saw where Sister Weems had printed some of that vision in the prayer directives again.

Because again, we're drawing into Passover time.  Now that Word was spoken last year just before Pesach, just before Passover time.  

And I can testify, I can, of some changes that I saw taking place in people's lives.  There were testimonies in our church where people said, "I received deliverance from this.  I received healing from this."

But somehow I'm wondering if perhaps we have the Word of the Lord, but we're not discerning the right timing.  

Do you think it would be wrong?  Do you believe it would be wrong for somebody in this service this morning to say, "Lord, I still believe that You're walking toward us today with determined steps?"  

He said in Jeremiah, "I know the plans that I have for you."  God knows what kind of things He wants to do in our lives.  

Would it be wrong for us to say, "Lord, I believe You're still making those little dust clouds?  I believe You're still coming toward us, even today in Jerusalem."

We've come to . . .  I guess this is the weekend prior to Pesach so this would be what the church world calls Palm Sunday weekend.  Tomorrow would be Palm Sunday, and they'll make a procession.

And remember what the Word here was?  The Lord is walking toward us, bringing healing, bringing deliverance, and we're receiving Him gladly, hallelujah, with shouts of "Hosanna."  That's how we want to receive the Lord this morning.

Baruch Haba BaShem Adonai.  Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.  Hosanna.  Save us now.

We want Him to know that He is welcome in our midst to bring to us all the things that we have need of.  

Would it be wrong for us to say, "We're coming again, Lord, into the season of Passover and we reach up to You for great change in our lives.

"We're looking to You to remove those things that offend.  We're looking to You, hallelujah, to remove those things that are stumbling blocks and hindrances in our way.

"We join our faith together in this place."  Would you do that with me right now?  

We join our faith together right now that You, Almighty God, will remove the hindrances from our lives, that You will remove the stumbling blocks, that You will send angels that gather to remove those things that offend - that offend the Spirit of Christ, that offend one another.

And we pray, most of all, that You will help us in our impatience to wait upon You, oh Lord.  We're not going to wait in a corner, sitting on a stool of do- nothing.  

We're going to wait in the vineyard of the Lord.  We're going to wait serving tables.  We're going to wait being servants one to another.

We're not waiting as in the sense of doing nothing.  But we're waiting on You, moving into that place that You have for us of service.  

Oh Lord God, You see that in most of our infirmities, the very spirit of man that You have placed within us causes us to pick ourselves up and to dust off our knees and our clothes and to keep moving on.

But some of us have lost a little bit of our tenacity.  Some of us have lost a little bit of our endurance because our spirit has been crushed, our spirit has been wounded, and we're lifting that up to You.  

Would you do that with me right now?

We're lifting our spirit to You (tongues), Living God, who cares about every detail of our lives.  Lord, I don't know why You've given me such a strange Word.  I don't know why You've given me so many different little scattered things all at one time in one service.  

I don't know how the mind of man could possibly get it all together, but I pray, oh Lord, that You'll not let this Word fall to the wayside.  For we lift up to You our crushed spirits.  We lift up to You our wounded spirit.  And may it not keep us from hearing the Word of Moses as he has heard from You to prepare us to cross over.

You are teaching us.  You are instructing us.  You are our schoolmaster.  You're preparing, hallelujah . . . preparing us for what is across the river.  And yet our impatience has hindered us from hearing.  The anguish of our spirit, the woundedness of our spirit, and this cruel bondage of this world, this pest house of flesh, the circumstances . . .  Oh, yes.

Prophetic Word:

You that feel enslaved to your circumstances, don't allow that slavery to your circumstances to keep you from hearing the clear Word of the Lord.  

For you are being prepared, saith God.  I am preparing you even now for the next destiny that I have called you to.

And this next destiny is the crossing over.  It is the possessing of that which I have laid aside for you as an inheritance, saith the Lord.  

Your inheritance is waiting for you on the other side.  Hear the Word of the Lord.  

Receive my prophets and hear that which I would speak to you in these days.  For it is preparatory, and it is revelatory, and it is that which you'll need to go in and take the possession that I have laid aside for you.  

Give Me your wounded spirit.  Give Me your impatience, saith the Lord.  Give Me the anguish of your life and give Me your slavery and your bondage.  And I will give you, saith the Lord, the anointing of the overcomer.  

I will cause you to cross over, and you shall break through the boundaries that the enemy has placed before you, and you shall go in and eat the fruit of Canaan.  

For I decree and declare the season of change is upon you even now.  Receive that which I have already prepared.

It is already laid aside.  It is already prepared.  And it is already given to you as an inheritance, saith the Lord.  Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  

Lord, we give You our wounded spirit.  (Marybeth is coming.)  We give You our impatience.  We give You the anguish of slavery.  Oh, hallelujah hallelujah . . .  

Let's worship the Lord for just a moment.  I know God is speaking somehow.  I know somehow God is speaking.  

Maybe you're streaming.  Maybe you're streaming and you can understand that your wounded spirit has kept you from hearing.

You know, you hear, but you don't relate.  You hear the Word of the Lord.  You hear the Word that comes from God's prophets, but you can't apply it to your own life because of your present condition and circumstances.  

But the Lord wants to lift us a little higher than today.  He wants to lift us a little higher than where we're standing right now and let us catch a glimpse.

Lord, we don't want to be like Moses who only saw it from the top of Nebo.  We want to be those who possess it.  We want to be those who inherit it.  

We want to be those little nobodies that are going to be used - not superstars, not big names.  But we want to be those that can be used in this great harvest.

We proclaim breakthrough - breakthroughs in the spirit, breakthroughs in Jerusalem, breakthroughs in the spiritual atmosphere.  (Tongues)  

The same God who said, "By the strong hand Pharaoh will let them go, and by a strong hand He'll drive them out " . . .

He not only let them go and released them, but with anger and with strength He pushed them into their destiny.  Oh, yes.  Hallelujah, hallelujah . . .  I feel Him.  Ooh.  I feel Him.  We love You, Lord.

Here was Word that Chuck Pierce wrote:

"The ruling enemies over your life must recognize that God is on your side.  It's time for them to recognize . . ."  

I'll tell you a Word that we've been releasing in our church.  The Bible says that if you catch the thief in the act . . .  When you catch a thief . . .  You know, sometimes he comes in the still of the night and you don't know what he's doing.

But the Bible teaches us if you catch a thief in the act, you have a right to apprehend him.  You have a right to lay a hold on him and demand that he repay what he has come to steal - and not only what he has come to steal, but we have the right to demand the increase upon that, the restitution of that.

If he's come to steal away our crops, he not only has to give us the crop that he came to steal, but he has to pay back, he has to give interest and usury on top of that which he desired to take from our lives.  

We stand this day in Jerusalem and we decree that we have caught the enemy in the act.  We have caught the thief that has come to steal and to kill and to destroy.  

He not only wants our possessions and our money, he not only wants our monetary gain and prosperity, but he's come to steal our destiny, and we catch him.  We apprehend him in the Name of Yeshua.

And we command that he pay back all that he has desired to steal, with interest, and on top of that he must give more than what he would pay.

Father, we thank You that You're standing ready.  You're standing ready to make sure that the enemy pays back all the things that he has sought to steal.  Blessed be the Name of the Lord.  Hallelujah.

Let's stand together.
  
Hallelujah, hallelujah . . .  Ooh.  You're doing something, Lord.  Come to us.  Hallelujah.

Oh, here it is.  There was one other thing that stood out in my mind.  The people got angry with Moses and they said, "You're just aggravating this thing."  

Chuck Pierce wrote this, and I believe it's for all of us.

He said, "This month be careful not to place unnecessary blame on those who are trying to help you break free."  

You see the people began to blame Moses.  And they said, "You just made it worse.  You're just making the situation worse.  And now they're making us work harder and increasing our labor and our pain and our bondage."

But Chuck Pierce said, "This month be careful not to place unnecessary blame on those who are trying to help you break free, but recognize . . ."  

Let's recognize that God uses His people sometime around us to help us break free.  And it's easy for us to blame people for our circumstances.

Charismatic people are famous because we see demons, you know, under every rock - and Pentecostal people, too.  

We see demons under every rock and we're always saying, "It's this spirit and that spirit and the other spirit," when sometimes - not always - but sometimes the correction that's needed is in our own spirit.

That was pretty weak.  There wasn't a lot of response.  But Lord, help us in our own spirit.  

It's been wounded.  It's been crushed.  We've gone through some things and we just don't seem to have that tenacity, that bounce back that we used to have.

Our knees have been buckled beneath us.  Oh, yes.  But we present it to You.  Come and heal the spirit of man that is within us.  

Come and heal us, Lord, in this hour that we could go on and move into the next phase of that that You have for us.  

We worship You.  We glorify You.  We thank You for healing us.  We thank You for Your determined steps that are bringing us help.  Help.  Help us.  Save us now.  Hear our cry.  Come to our rescue.  Hallelujah.  (Tongues)  

I wonder if there's someone as we prepare to close that would say, "I need special prayer.  I want to come forward for prayer.  I want to give everything.  I want to give my spirit to the Lord.  I want to hear the Word from God with no hindrances."

Hallelujah.  All right.  Is there another?  Hallelujah.  (Tongues)

We're just bringing it all to You this morning, Lord.  We're just bringing it all to You.  Heal us.  Every wound.  Every crushing.  Heal us that it would not hinder us in our hearing.  Blessed be the name of the Lord.  Hallelujah.

Personal Word:

(Tongues)  Hallelujah.  Glory to God.  Glory to God.  Everyone lift your hand toward our sister.

Father, we anoint our sister in the Name of Yeshua.  Oh.  Lord, You see every need in her life.  Come by Your anointing and by Your glory and minister to those needs.  Lord, You see the crushing of her spirit.  You see the wounding of her spirit.

Lord, she's offering it to You that You would heal her and that You would restore her.  Lord, You see that authority has been misused over her life.  Someone has misused authority in her life to break, to break down.  And we come against that enemy that would move in times past against her, that it would never work against her again from this day forward.

And that any man or woman who would misuse authority over her spiritually, that You would reverse that thing.  (Tongues)  And that she would hear clearly from You, Lord, and not be moved to the right or the left and not be led down the wrong path but that she would hear Your voice and discern Your will for her life every time, every time, every time.

Let the deep calling of her spirit be heard in heaven and, Lord, let the deep things of God respond to that call.  Walk her through the pages of Your Word with revelation that the enemy cannot steal from her.  (Tongues)

Let there be perfect healing and strength in her body, and let her be led and directed by You everywhere she goes.  Hallelujah.  (Tongues)  Break off every fetter, every yoke, every chain that the enemy would place upon her.  Let her be free.  Free.  Let her be truly, truly free in Your Spirit this day.  In the wonderful Name of Yeshua.  Hallelujah.  Glory to God.  (Tongues)

Yes, Lord.  Yes, Lord.  Never again . . .  Never again let the enemy misuse authority.  Never again let the enemy misuse authority over her life to break her down.  Hallelujah, hallelujah.

I see you coming forth with baskets full of great fruit.  I see you carrying great fruit out of the orchard, out of the vineyard - great fruit.  The enemy wanted to steal away your fruitfulness.  He wanted to make you spiritually barren.  But he is defeated in the name of Yeshua.  

You're coming forth with great fruit for the use of the Master.  He will teach you and instruct you in His way.  Hallelujah.  Glory to God.  Hallelujah.  Amen, amen . . .

Personal Word:

All right.  Lord, we lay our spirits before You.  (Tongues)  Oh, yes.  I thank You for the wave of Your glory.  (Tongues)  Lord, You see Your handmaiden and You see, Lord, that she's just come to say, "It's me."  I guess we say, "Amen, so be it."  And we lay these things before You today, Lord.  

You don't bring them out.  You don't speak to them specifically to ignore them, to turn away from them.  You call them to us and bring them to our attention again because You want to deal with them.  You want to deal with them, Lord.

Here we are.  Deal with us according to Your will.  Deal with us according to the desire of Your Spirit that we would be led, hallelujah, directed by the Spirit of the Most High God.  Thank You for Your handmaiden.  Thank You for this intercessor.  

Thank You, Lord, that she has an ear for revelation.  I thank You, Lord, for the things that You have sown into her.  And I thank You for the quick and soon increase.  I thank You that every channel that has been stopped up in some way must be opened up and cleared in the Name of Yeshua.

Any channel of her life that the enemy has come and desired to stop up the flow, we break it and we prophesy breakthroughs by Your Spirit.  Open up every flow and every channel that she can hear and receive and do in greater measure.

Lord, move the anguish of her spirit.  Let it be healed and restored for Your glory.  Hallelujah, hallelujah . . .  I just see something extremely new opening up very quickly - something very new, something a little bit out of the ordinary and a little bit out of the norm that God has for you.

And what I mean by that, I mean your comfort zone.  Of course, I know that your comfort zone has been stretched and tried already, many times over.  But I see the Lord pulling you just a little bit farther out of your comfort zone because you're . . . you know, it's a little bit easy now after all these years.  You've become climatized a little bit easier than some people.

In other words, you can adjust to the climate a little bit quicker than others.  But I see the Lord pulling you a little bit farther into a new door of opportunity that's opening up.  It's going to open up quickly, and it's going to be a little bit different than what you've been used to.

But the Lord said, "You'll see Me in it and you'll know it's Me, and there will be fruit because of it."  Hallelujah, hallelujah . . .  

Let me give you one other Word whether you need it or want it or not.  I see the Lord somehow establishing two . . .  I don't like the word "permanent."  But I see the Lord somehow establishing like two bases for you.  I don't want to say permanent dwellings, but I'm gonna say bases, for you.  

And I see you moving back and forth between those two bases.  And the only reason why I mentioned that is because God wants to establish on both ends something that feels a little bit more . . .  You're gonna move, and you're gonna flow, and you're gonna go, and you'll be spontaneous when the Lord brings you here or there.

But I see that the Lord wants to give you a little bit more of a sense of home on both ends, so that when you're on this end you can still feel at home and when you're on that end you can still feel at home.  And that's going to open up for you as soon as you have walked through this new door of opportunity that the Lord has.

Then you're going to get a little bit more of a sense of home on both ends of your journey.  Hallelujah.  Here and there, and here and there, and here and there, and the in-between may feel like a journey, but once you land, you will feel a little bit more at home on both bases.  Hallelujah.

Lord, hasten Your Word to perform it, in the Name of Yeshua.  Hallelujah.  Thank You, Lord.  Thank You, Lord . . .  Glory to God.  Hallelujah . . .  Praise the Lord.

Personal Prayer:

Father, I anoint my sister.  Hallelujah.  Lord, I've thanked You again and again and again and again for bringing her to Jerusalem for such a time as this, for such an hour as this.  I know it was Your divine will and plan for her life.

And Lord, I just ask You right now to minister to a spirit that has been crushed, to a spirit that has been wounded.  I ask You, Lord, just to minister to a spirit that has known anguish and pain, and that You would reverse the anguish, and that You would reverse the pain, and that You would heal the crushing and the wounding, and that You would raise her up.  Oh, yes.  

By Your anointing, hallelujah, that You would raise her up that she would hear the clear Word of God, a clear Word from God, a clear Word from God like the children of Israel heard from the lips of Moses who communed with God lip to ear.

Let her walk in that clear Word of God that comes into her spirit and let her ears spiritually not be hindered anymore by the wounding or the crushing of her spirit.  Dress her this day in the robes of Your righteousness.  Hallelujah.

Oh, and let that shine that has already come forth from her . . . let it be increased so that all who see her will see what I can see - the glory of God upon her head.  Hallelujah.  (Tongues)  Deep, deep, deep - may the Spirit of God go deep.

Sister, will you come and lay your hand just in her belly?  Deep.  (Tongues)  We send forth the Spirit of God to go deep down - healing, moving, building up, strengthening.  We come against every attack of the enemy against her body, against her spirit.  

We command every demon power of hell to retreat, to take his hands off of God's child.  I thank You, Lord.  I thank You, Lord.  I thank You, Lord, for ministry flowing out of her, service flowing out of her for the glory of God that many people would be touched by that that You're placing within.  (Tongues)

Glory, glory . . .  Holy God.  Hallelujah.  Oh, I thank You, Lord.  Praise God, praise God . . .  Amen.  Hallelujah.

Personal Word:

Lord, I thank You for my sister, my friend in the faith, my sister in the faith.  Lord, I . . .  (Tongues) Lord, knowing her testimonies over the years now we've learned so much of how You've brought her forth and all the things she's known in life and experienced in life and the lessons You've taught her, the corrections that You've made, and the miracles that You've given.

It's a tremendous story of Your grace.  And yet, Lord, we all stand before You this morning an unfinished product.  My God.  My God.  In all that we've known and all the journeys of life and all the dirt that we've got on our feet from walking these miles with You, we stand before You as unfinished products.

But oh God, we're standing in the right place -  before You - before You, before You.  As long . . .  (Tongues)  As long as we're standing before You, You still have sway in our lives.  Come and bend us.  Come and sway us.  Come and move us by Your glory and by Your Spirit as we lay our spirits before you.

Lord, I ask You to take a wounded spirit, one that has known Your healing touch before . . .  But Lord, if there be any part of her spirit still wounded, yes, still crushed, we lay that before You right now.  Hallelujah.

I guess, Lord, You're the only one that could take the petals and put them back on the flower.  You're the only one that can cause the process to be reversed.  You're the only one that can turn things around.  Yes, yes . . .  

Strange.  I don't . . . I mean this is so odd.  But I just saw snow going in the wrong direction.  Isn't that odd?  I just snow going up from the earth.  Hallelujah.  

Lord, we know that things that are up must come down and yet somehow in the Spirit, I just saw drifts of snow turning loose like flakes and going right back to heaven from where they've come.  Only You would know what that could mean, Lord.

But I ask for it because everything You show us, You want us to have.  And, Lord, over my sister I declare the reversal of all the processes.  Hallelujah.  And the reversal of every curse.  (Tongues)

Restore her testimony.  Restore her place of influence.  Restore everything.  (Tongues)  

We catch you.  We catch you.  We catch you.  You're caught.  You're exposed.  And we apprehend you.  You're not getting anywhere.  You're not getting away until you restore.  (Tongues)

Lord, let her be bigger than the place where she now dwells.  Let her be bigger.  Let her be expanded beyond present boundaries.  In the wonderful Name of Yeshua . . .

My, my, I feel His peace.  Hallelujah.  Glory to God.  Hallelujah.

There's something that some people don't understand about Jerusalem.  And that is everybody that is called here is a minister.  It erases all gender restrictions in the sense when you're called to Jerusalem, you're called because you have a ministry.

And everybody's ministry is not the same.  And everyone is not called to pulpit ministry.  Everyone's  not called to pastor.  Everyone's not called to preach.  But everyone that is called to Jerusalem to worship the Lord and to serve the Lord here, we're going to say for whatever span of time even, is called to a ministry.

Lord, use us.  Hallelujah.  Increase our ministries.  Let them be expanded.  It's so strange.  I just opened my eyes and saw our sister for the first time.  I was talking about her, but I didn't see her.  Hallelujah.  She's one of those who has a ministry.

Lord, we're asking You to expand our ministries beyond their present borders.  Give us greater spheres of influence.  Let us move in greater authority and precision.

I receive the open heaven over Jerusalem.  I receive, Lord, that a portal has been made open.

I think it is significant that Bob Jones has received Words from the Lord concerning those open heavens and portals.  And he uses a word "vortex."

And I find it very significant that he has often spoke about the . . .  We all know by the Word and by our own experience.  But I like the things that he has spoken about Jerusalem and the open heaven - the vortex, the portal that's over Jerusalem.

But I find it especially encouraging that without any warning or indication of why, without any explanation of why, some years ago he just spoke a prophetic Word and said, "The same kind of portal . . ."  

I don't even know if you know this or not, Sister Nancy, but he said, "The same kind of vortex and portal of open heaven that's over Jerusalem is over the island of Iceland."

He never explained why, never gave any kind of indication of why, he just spoke that, just right out in a meeting, that the same kind of open heaven . . .  And I find that very significant because of what the Lord is doing in Iceland right now.

The very Gospel that is being preached here and in Alabama is going across Israel, Bethlehem, across the territories, across the Middle East into eighty nations.  God's doing some wonderful and mighty things in this day, and it's all for His glory.  

He's increasing our influence, our spheres of influence.  How many of you'd like for the Lord . . .

Do you believe it's wrong to ask the Lord to make you influential?  No.  You're not asking to be influential for your corporation.  You're asking God to give you greater influence for His Kingdom.

Lord, make us influential people.  Let our influence expand, oh God.  Give us a greater sphere of authority and influence that we can touch lives, that we can minister Your Gospel.  (Tongues)

I thank You that it's bigger than one little church.  I thank You that it's bigger than one little group of people.

What You're doing in this day is bigger than what we've dreamed or imagined.  You're just using people everywhere for Kingdom purposes.  

Oh, let us hear the clear word of God.  Let us hear Your pure Word and act upon it and live by it.

Hallelujah.  Glory to God.  Glory to God . . .  Hallelujah.  Bless the Lord.

Singing:  "Bless the Lord, oh my soul . . ."
