(240) “The Covenant of Glory” with James Stone

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,120
in that covenant that was fading, he had to wear a veil. So how much greater should the glory be

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,520
in this covenant, in a covenant where the glory is ever increasing? So we should be looking around

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:17,040
saying, where's all the shiny Christians? You know, not the polished bald heads, you know,

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,200
but the shiny Christian, those walking in the glory of God.

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:36,080
God promises in Joel 2, 28 to pour out his Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global Outpouring,

6
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:42,240
where we contend for that promise outpouring, we equip for that outpouring so that we may engage

7
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,680
in that very outpouring. I'm Philip Bus. And I'm Sharon Bus. Welcome to the podcast today.

8
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:55,040
We have with us a good friend, James Stone. We did an episode with him, I think it was episode 203,

9
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,800
and it's really ministered to a lot of people. We called it the praying prophesying plumber.

10
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,960
And so we have this same man with us today. And we're going to talk about things like

11
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:15,920
the covenant of glory. Thank you so much for joining us today. We really appreciate you

12
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,640
tuning in. And we want to encourage you if you haven't already done so to go to our website

13
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:27,520

14
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,040

15
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:42,400
touch with you. And we also want to encourage you to be with us May 21 through 24 2025. For our 50th

16
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:50,160
annual gathering. This is the global outpouring convention 2025, where we're meeting together

17
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:57,680
at the St. Louis Airport Marriott. And we're going to have a glorious time in worship and in the word

18
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:04,880
and intercession, reaching out to the Lord for his heart for the nations, and just meeting and making

19
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,320
new relationships with people who are just like you. It's going to be family camp. There's something

20
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:16,000
for every age. And we want to encourage you to come and bring your family. Come and bring someone

21
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,360
that is hungry for God, because we're going to have an appointment with God in that place.

22
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:28,240
We really realize that we are on the threshold of the outpouring that the Lord told about in

23
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:34,720
Joel 2 28. And this is the theme of this convention. We hope that you'll be able to be with us. It will

24
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:41,120
be life changing for you. And you'll begin to make relationships that will go on for eternity. So

25
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,240
James, thank you so much for being with us today. It's good to be here. We really appreciate you.

26
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,120
We appreciate you coming alongside and helping us out with plumbing. But we also appreciate the

27
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,880
anointing that you bring and the word of the Lord that you bring because you're a deep well. And we

28
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:06,080
Oh, I guess that's sort of a plumbing thing too, isn't it? No pun intended, but it's there. So I

29
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:14,400
do want to say this that that the podcast that we did with you before episode 203 was really,

30
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,960
really well received, particularly by our young people. And I was just so encouraged how they

31
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:28,720
have picked up on that and getting the idea that you can be a really anointed man of God and still

32
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:35,040
be doing kind of mundane sort of things, but you're, you're being used of the Lord. You can

33
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,640
get into places that you might not otherwise get into if you've got our EV in front of your name.

34
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920
Well, the tool bag will open doors that a Bible will not.

35
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,600
That's well put. Well put. But to carry the Bible with you in your heart.

36
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Yes, ma'am. So tell us what the Lord has been doing since we had you on it with us last.

37
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:01,360
Well, he's doing Lord stuff. I love it. You know, he has all the authority. Yes. And you know,

38
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,000
he's not afraid to let you know that if you'll listen. And so the really cool thing about it is

39
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,320
I have control of my own life. And if I submit the control of my life to his authority, then he moves

40
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:19,120
in and he brings everything he has with him. Amen. You know, and so there's no limit to what he can

41
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:25,520
bring. You know, I cannot begin to tell you. I mean, and I don't have to, you know yourself

42
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:32,160
how amazing it is to walk through, you know, as you would say mundane task and hearing the heavenly

43
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,240
host, you know, just singing in your heart, speaking in your ear, you know, and you're

44
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,320
walking into somebody's life that, you know, they've not seen anything positive or good.

45
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,800
They're watching the news or looking at the political situation. The world's falling apart

46
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,720
at the seams and everything's just going crazy. And they have a plumbing problem,

47
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,400
which is just another issue in their otherwise messed up mundane life that, you know, they're

48
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,000
just waiting for it to all be over. Yeah. So I come in there and I'm not looking to be a minister.

49
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,680
I'm not looking to take up an offering. I'm not looking to get somebody on a newsletter or a

50
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,800
mailing list or invite them to a church or a function or an event or a conference. I'm going

51
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,720
there to make money. You know, I'm going there. I have a skillset and training. I know how to fix

52
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,600
plumbing issues. I go in there and then all of a sudden I begin to hear the voice of the Lord and

53
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,760
I see into the heart of that individual that I'm talking to and the compassion of heaven begins to

54
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:35,920
break me. And sometimes none of that happens. It's just heaven is there. And since I carry heaven

55
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:43,280
with me, the demonic entities in that person's life that's screaming 24 seven in their heart and

56
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:49,440
in their mind is suspended from activity. And they get peace while I'm there. It took me a long time

57
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,680
to figure that out. Okay. But that's just really amazing because I can say thanks to people in that

58
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,400
setting and they look at me and they say, I never thought about it that way before. And all of a

59
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,720
sudden they're receptive now because they're thinking at something from a different perspective.

60
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,480
Right. And if you only look at math as a challenge because you hate math,

61
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,920
you know, but yet if you can look at it from a different angle, all of a sudden something

62
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,600
clicks. Now it's not a problem anymore because you understand it. And it's just been really amazing.

63
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,800
I've literally had people fall out in the spirit while I'm working on their kitchen sink, you know,

64
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,480
and I'm like, God, you should, you know, he's like, I'll do what I want to do. You know,

65
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,000
and you know, so I come out and there they are now that maybe on their knees or crying, weeping,

66
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,720
whatever. And the difference between crying and weeping is mucus, you know? So the kitchen's a

67
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,920
good place to be because there's lots of paper towels. And so, you know, and you come out and

68
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,040
you begin to minister to this person in a way that they would never get in church. Yeah. Yeah.

69
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,040
Because number one, they're not going to pull down their guard because they're guarding against those

70
00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:00,480
people that hurt them the last time they were in this church. Oh, you know, but that wall that you

71
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,200
put up in your heart to keep people from hurting you, whether it's relational hurt or professional

72
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,800
hurt or governmental hurt, whatever that, that same wall keeps Holy Spirit out of that place

73
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:17,440
where he needs to be because there's a wound there. Amen. You know? So God spoke to me several years

74
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,080
ago and said he would make me a Trojan horse and I would carry him into places in the church belt,

75
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,960
basically, where he's not welcome. And the next thing I know, I found myself being a plumber

76
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,840
doing service calls and getting encounters like that where I've ministered to heathens

77
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,400
and I've ministered to pastors, Pentecostal preachers, Baptist preachers, Methodist preachers,

78
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,840
you know, deputies, doctors, you know, lawyers of people from all walks of life. If you have plumbing,

79
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:47,840
I'm your guy. And so, okay, you know, I get to go in there and if I see heaven do something,

80
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,840
I can respond to that. And sometimes I don't even know what God's doing. And I get a phone call a

81
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,560
year, two years down the road and they'll say something like, Hey, is this James Stone? And

82
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:04,640
I was like, yeah. Well, you worked on my shower, you know, two years ago and I'm thinking, Oh my

83
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,960
gosh, he's fixing to tell me that it's been leaking ever since I left and the floor fell through, you

84
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,480
know? And no, it goes like this. Well, while you were at my house, you prayed for my husband.

85
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:21,520
And after you left, God healed his back. Glory to God. And my husband got saved. Thank you. Now

86
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,400
he's working a full-time job. He's off of disability and he's led his entire family to Jesus.

87
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Hallelujah. And we're having a family reunion and my husband wanted me to reach out to you to see

88
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:37,280
if you would come and sit with our family at the park and minister to our family. And so I've got

89
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,160
to do that a couple of times and that's fun to minister to actually a family group, you know,

90
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,360
and they will bring you anything, literally anything you want to drink, you know, and they'll

91
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,440
just keep you going. And I went to one, it was like three hours, I sat there and ministered and

92
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,640
50 some odd people come to the Lord. I mean, it was amazing. And I thought you said he led his whole

93
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,040
family to Jesus, but yet here's all these people unsaved, but it's a whole extended family. Of

94
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:08,160
course it's Arkansas. So some people that are just looking for a date, but, and then all of a sudden

95
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:13,680
they have an encounter with Jesus. And so it's just an amazing life to be able to live. And I

96
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:18,960
remember one time we're living in a place, my wife and I, and we didn't get any cell signal where we

97
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:24,560
lived. And so if the phone rang inside the house, it was kind of an amazing thing. Well, my wife will

98
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:28,720
be mad when she, she won't be mad, but she's not going to be happy when I share it like this, but

99
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:34,560
we were actually in a fight, you know, if you've been married a long time, you've disagreements

100
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:41,360
happen. Yes, yes. We were in a disagreement. Okay. And it wasn't pretty and I didn't want to be there.

101
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,160
She didn't want to be there, but yet we were both going to die on that hill. You know how it is.

102
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:53,680
And my phone rang and I answered it and I stepped out on the front porch and I was hoping it was a

103
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:59,840
service call. It was just so I could exit. And this guy says, Hey, this man, and he gave me a name.

104
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,240
He said, he gave me your number and said you could help. And now I'm immediately thinking plumbing.

105
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,440
Yeah. I knew the other guy through plumbing and he says, I said, okay, what you got? He says,

106
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:16,160
my brother's been in a wreck and he's laying on the side of the road and he's dying. Can you come

107
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:22,000
and pray for him? Yeah. And I looked at Renee, I walked back in, my wife's name is Rachel Renee.

108
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Okay. So if I say Rachel, it's the same woman as Renee, but I looked at her and I said, Renee,

109
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:34,560
I said, I've got to go. And she saw my face and she knew, and she's, you know, her own testimony to me

110
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:41,040
because I left and she said, when I saw his face, I just started praying. Okay. And I get my work

111
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:47,040
truck and I drive 45 minutes one way. Oh, wow. And I get to this accident scene where this young man

112
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,280
had rolled his truck and he got hung up in the steering wheel or something and he partially

113
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,400
ejected and couldn't be fully ejected. So he was literally crushed five or six times before he got

114
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,280
thrown clear of the truck. And so this was, I'm not going to try to describe it, but it was the

115
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,400
ugliest scene I've ever walked up on. Okay. So, you know, I saw the family and I walked up to the

116
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,480
family and they said, he's over here. And I said, okay. So I began to walk that way. And there was

117
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,880
a couple of paramedics, they weren't paramedics, they were first responders, but they didn't have

118
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:21,200
a paramedic license, but they were doing CPR on this young man. And once you start CPR on somebody,

119
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,600
you can't stop until somebody official relieves you. Right. You know, but I walked up there and

120
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,360
they said, sir, you need to stay back. And I said, look, I'm a minister and the family's asked me to

121
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,840
come pray. And they said, look, this guy was probably dead when we got here, but he's certainly

122
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:40,960
passed away now. So there he's beyond prayer. And I said, look, this will make this family feel a

123
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:46,560
whole lot better. If they know I came up here and prayed over their brother, please let me do what

124
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:50,320
I drove over here to do. They said, man, you don't want to see this. I said, look, I've been a

125
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,880
firefighter. I've been in scenes like this. It'll be okay. They said, well, do what you want. So I

126
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:03,360
walked around them and got where his head was. And I got on my knees and sat on my feet. And I just

127
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:09,040
put my hands just kind of out in front of me over his shoulders. And I began to just pray. And it's

128
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,760
not a prayer that you would write in a book and sell a million copies. I'm not Jay Dez. You know

129
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:20,880
what I'm saying? And I'm just James. And I just said, God, give this man a chance. He needs your

130
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:29,280
help. And suddenly he sucks in a breath. Now this is hard to explain without being really graphic.

131
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:38,080
But every bone in his body was broken. His jawbone was broken. His orbital bones were

132
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:43,840
just non-existent. That's over the eyes. Yeah. It was just, it was terrible. It was horrible to look

133
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:51,440
at. Okay. And when he took in a breath, his chest, instead of rising and falling like yours or mine

134
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,240
would, you could just see that air coming through his skin, through his clothes. Oh my. You know,

135
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:02,880
because he was completely crushed, destroyed. And of course these first responders, they absolutely

136
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,840
went nuts. Okay. And they come alive and they start talking to him and they're calling him by name.

137
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,680
And they said, Hey, you've been in an accident. We're helping you and help is on the way. And it

138
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:19,360
was at that very moment that I heard a siren way off in the distance. Okay. And then they pushed

139
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:25,360
their thumb toward me and said, this guy here is a minister and he's been praying for you. And his

140
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,640
eyes pointed back at me. He couldn't move his neck. He couldn't, even when he talked, his mouth

141
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,920
couldn't move, but he, his eyes shot up in the top of his head and he looked at me and he says, help

142
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:41,840
me. And I said, man, I said, I can't help you. I said, I'm praying for you, but you need to ask

143
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:48,480
Jesus for help. You have to have Jesus help you right now. And he said, Jesus, help me. Jesus

144
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:54,720
saved me. And then he just that he said, save me. And he took another breath and it just escaped

145
00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:01,280
his body and he quit breathing. Wow. And I'm going to tell you in that few seconds where he was

146
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:06,080
talking. I mean, me and this guy, we were already on our way around the world with the testimony

147
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:12,160
that nobody would believe in my mind. I'm just being honest. Okay. And when he breathed out,

148
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:18,160
I was devastated, you know, and I know, I know that he went to heaven and that was the main thing.

149
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:24,080
But in that moment I'm emotional too. Okay. But I was able to go back to that family and I said,

150
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:32,000
Hey, I'm sorry, but your brother has passed away. But before he passed away, he asked Jesus to save

151
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,560
him. If you ever want to see your brother again, you need to bring Jesus into your heart and make

152
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,200
him your savior. So it was in that moment that I walked away. They didn't ask me to come to the

153
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:50,320
funeral. Okay. But a year or so later, this young man calls me and this is a separate time, but

154
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,400
wasn't the time I told you about before, but he calls me and says, please come to Mountain View

155
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:59,120
to our family reunion. We're having a family reunion at city park. So I go, and this was a

156
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:05,200
complete terrible drug culture family. Okay. So I go and I minister to them one at a time.

157
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:10,400
And these big drums, these 55 gallon drums, I have those in that park. And with those big black

158
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:17,200
trash bags, they filled up a whole 55 gallon trash bag full of drugs and drug paraphernalia,

159
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:23,520
of drugs and drug paraphernalia, pornography, you know, this whole family. So they all leave

160
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:30,080
and I'm by myself. I can't leave these drugs. Right. But I don't want to put them in my car,

161
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,040
you know, throw them in the back of my truck and take off down the road. So I don't know what to

162
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,680
do. So I called a buddy of mine, worked for the county and I said, look, this is what's happened.

163
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,720
I told him the family. I said, now, if you're not on duty or you're on duty and you can't,

164
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,840
I said, don't even come down here and don't do a report because I don't want people investigating.

165
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,400
I said, you know, let this play out, you know, let these people, the ones that really made a

166
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,520
transition in their life with Jesus, let this play out. I said, if you can't help me, I'll call

167
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,480
somebody in state. I said, I'll have to wait here longer, but I'll wait for him. So he said, look,

168
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,960
I'll be there in a minute. And he come, he says, my gosh, he said, that's a lot of stuff. You know,

169
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,760
he's looking at this. He said, I'll deal with it. And he just put it in the trunk of his cruiser

170
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:19,440
and he left. And I had a conversation with him. He's not a deputy there anymore, but later he told

171
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:25,120
me, he says, this year, this was two years later, he said, this year in that family, he said, they

172
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,880
were the worst family in the county. He said, but this year there's going to be two people out of

173
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,840
that family graduate from high school. And they're the first two people. He says, as far as I can look

174
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,880
back, that's got out of high school without a criminal record. You know, and he says they've

175
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,680
become one of the pillars of our county now and they're, they help out in every way they can.

176
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,760
They're not in jail. They're not, he said, they still got some bad apples, you know,

177
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:55,440
but in large parts, that whole family has been transformed. Wow. You know, so I just think it's

178
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:01,360
amazing. And the weird thing about it, the encounter that I had with the other man that

179
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:07,520
met this guy that day was on a plumbing call. And all I did was release the kingdom of God into his

180
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:13,600
life. And I didn't know him outside of that, but I remembered him. He saw this guy in need and said,

181
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,560
look, I know a guy that'll help you. Here's his number. I love it. And so maybe being a plumber

182
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,440
is not the most glamorous thing, you know, and, you know, manly men don't raise their daughters

183
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,640
up to look for plumbers to marry, you know, and young men don't grow up, but you know, they want

184
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,840
to be doctors and lawyers and astronauts and race car drivers and movie stars. Nobody at eight says,

185
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:39,600
I want to be a plumber, you know, I didn't, you know, I didn't become a plumber until I was in my

186
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,400
late thirties. So it's just been an amazing thing. And, but the weird thing about it is you don't

187
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:50,720
have to be a plumber to do this. I'm not a Christian plumber. You know what I'm saying? I'm a plumber

188
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,840
who happens to be a Christian. You know, I don't believe in Christian athletes, you know, and things

189
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,400
like that. If you're an athlete, you happen to be a Christian, then be kingdom wherever you're at.

190
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:06,400
Amen. You know, so it's an amazing life to live and I would probably like it to be different.

191
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,720
I don't always like being sweaty and dirty and work long hours and get called out in the middle of the

192
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:16,320
night. But at the same time, I've had so many encounters with God doing this. I don't know if

193
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:23,200
I'd want to change it. Wow. So now you're also heading up healing rooms. Tell us about that.

194
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,520
Well, we're a part of the International Association of Healing Rooms and it's based in Spokane,

195
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:33,520
Washington. Yeah. So that's, you know, Cal Pierce heads up that organization, really fine fellow.

196
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:39,120
Yes, we were there when he opened the rooms in Spokane. That's amazing. And so we, I have a lot

197
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:43,920
of respect for Cal and for the people in the office there and Elaine and those guys, they work really

198
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,680
hard to make sure we have what we need. But there's several thousand healing rooms around the world.

199
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,240
I believe we did take a hit during COVID. We lost a lot of people quit, you know, their funding

200
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,400
dried up. People wouldn't volunteer, you know, through the lockdowns and things like that. But

201
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,480
it's bouncing back and it's really good. So we have a good time with that, but we're the state

202
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:08,240
directors here in Arkansas and regional directors for region 12. So we have a good time with them.

203
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:14,080
So you don't have to do plumbing for them? Not the healing rooms. But you just get to do the God

204
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,360
stuff. Yeah. Well, I mean, if you can pardon the pun, I tell people when I go minister in churches

205
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:23,840
and stuff, well, hey, I'm a minister and I minister prophetically. So if you got some stuff, you're

206
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,640
probably going to get to deal with it today. But I'm a plumber in my secular life. So my job,

207
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:34,640
whether I'm here or whether I'm on the job is to get the crap out. So if you got some of that,

208
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:41,440
and most of us do, get ready, you know? And so being a minister is a lot like being a plumber.

209
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,360
You deal with people at their worst. Yeah, that's true. And sometimes you get to deal with people

210
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:50,560
in the best case scenarios. And so, and it's not much different. It really isn't because if you get

211
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:56,240
down to where I can remember an old joke where the deacon board comes to the pastor and they're

212
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,280
discussing a problem and they're like, we've tried this and we've tried this and we've done all these

213
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:07,120
options. Yeah. Yeah. I guess we really need to pray. And the pastor's like, has it come to that

214
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:13,200
already? So a lot of people in their life, when we go and we do ministry, you know, if you're in

215
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,080
conference life, a lot of times people that attend conferences, they're a little bit further along in

216
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:23,840
their walk, hopefully. And so you may not run into this a lot, but you do some. But it daily,

217
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,080
Sunday morning, Wednesday night, people walk in off the street into your churches. You're coming

218
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:33,200
into people that are on their last leg and they come there because, you know, Hey, we're going to

219
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,760
have to pray. It's come to that already. You know, that's all we have left. And if God don't do

220
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,720
something, this is going to not end well. So we get to deal with people a lot like that when they

221
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,880
come to healing rooms, you know, a lot of times they've tried everything else. They've been to

222
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:52,000
the doctor. They've been to the specialist. They've been to the hospital that specializes in their

223
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,120
thing. They've had prayer from their church and they've had prayer from their pastor. And they

224
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:01,920
went to the evangelist and the, and the healing conference and the deliverance conference and

225
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:07,520
nothing's worked. So now here's these weird people down here. Let's go see them, you know,

226
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,320
because I heard somebody got healed when they went. So we get to deal with those kinds of folks a lot,

227
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,960
you know, but a lot of times we deal with people that they're physically, they're fine, but spiritually

228
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:22,960
they've been injured. So we get to deal with that as well. And, and it's a lot of fun. It's a lot of

229
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:28,800
fun. We have a lady that's kind of come alongside us over the last few months, but she's 52, I think

230
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:36,080
49 to 52. And she's been in drug addiction for over half of her life. Okay. And she got radically

231
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:42,160
saved, but she came down to healing rooms. She was having a meeting there. And guess what?

232
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,720
She went through deliverance and four demons came out of her. And this happened in a Baptist church.

233
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:54,640
And one of the Baptist folks is like, that's weird. One of them is like, boy, we need more of this.

234
00:21:55,360 --> 00:22:01,120
Well, it's biblical. Yes. Yes. So it's just really cool because a lot of times it's not just fat

235
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:06,480
people that like to go to a buffet. You know what I'm saying? You'll find some skinny people in

236
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,960
there too. So when we look at Christianity as a whole, we see a lot of people who make snap

237
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,840
judgments and say, well, they're not going to go for this, but you know what? They may. If they see

238
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:22,480
the hand of God, whether it's in a meeting or an encounter, or it's on, maybe you're a salesman

239
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,360
and you get that word in their life and they've never believed before, but because of that

240
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:33,440
transition from, I need your services to, oh, I need your services. You know what I'm saying?

241
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,360
All of a sudden they're seeing it from a different perspective. And now they're looking into heaven

242
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:41,680
in a way that they didn't know they could before. Beautiful. That's what God uses me to do.

243
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:49,120
Beautiful. So talk to us a little bit about covenant glory and how this revelation has

244
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:54,880
impacted your ministry. Well, it started with me when my whole life I read the Bible. I've been

245
00:22:54,880 --> 00:23:01,520
reading the Bible since I can remember, and I've always enjoyed reading and history always fascinated

246
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:07,840
me. So I started out reading Samuel and Kings and Chronicles and I was like, wow, this is a lot of

247
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:14,640
repeat. And then I realized it's timeline stories, but I've always enjoyed that. But I was reading in

248
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:20,720
second Corinthians one time and I got down to that last verse where it said I'm transformed into what

249
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:28,960
I look at. And I was like, hmm, because my whole life I'd been studying the Bible to preach.

250
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:35,520
And I'm figuring out ways, not consciously, but just as you read, this will preach this way.

251
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,200
And you immediately in your mind, you draw lines to other passages in the Bible that'll couple

252
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:47,600
with this. So you can build a platform for a foundation for a message. And I didn't realize

253
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:53,760
it at that time, but my entire life I'd only ever studied the Bible to preach, also known as studying

254
00:23:53,760 --> 00:24:00,720
the Bible to prove what I already know. And I'd never studied the Bible to live.

255
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,680
Oh, wow. Come on, preach to us.

256
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:10,000
It's kind of like politics in our nation. We have government officials that'll tell us what to do,

257
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,400
and they pass laws for us to abide by. And then you find out they're violating those laws.

258
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,560
But they have immunity or they're untouchable for whatever reason, they don't get called to account

259
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:26,160
by the government. And they're violating the very laws that they're upholding. It really hurts me

260
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:31,040
sometimes when I see a law enforcement officer driving 10 or 15 miles an hour faster than the

261
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:37,360
posted speed limit, just because they can. No running lights, no blue lights, no red lights,

262
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:42,320
no siren. They just drive faster than everybody. And they're supposed to be upholding the law.

263
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:47,680
And so I've been griping about that a little bit, but the bottom line is this. I'm actually

264
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:53,520
supposed to be upholding the law too. And I'm way more guilty of violating what I teach than what a

265
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:58,400
law enforcement officer is. And God says, you need to leave them alone and just focus on James,

266
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:04,720
because you are transformed into what you look at from glory to glory to glory. So if I'm only

267
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,760
focused on what everybody else is doing that's wrong, then what I wind up doing is I become

268
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:15,760
judgmental and biased. And I may very well judge somebody as something that they're not,

269
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,480
and miss out on the very opportunity that God has set up for me to release him into their lives,

270
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,240
because I'm upset about something that really don't matter. And that comes out of studying the

271
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,760
Bible to prove what you know, rather than studying the Bible to live. And so I change that parameter

272
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:39,120
in my life. And I begin to reread a lot of the stuff, including 2 Corinthians 3. So verse 18

273
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:46,960
says that when I look in a mirror, I behold the Lord. And I got to thinking about that. I've never

274
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:53,840
seen God when I looked in the mirror. I've seen my overweightness. I've seen my balding head. I see

275
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,880
a lot of things. When I was younger, I looked for pimples. When I was really younger, I was looking

276
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:04,240
for whiskers. I was wanting whiskers to come in so I could be a man. There's a lot of things I saw

277
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:10,480
in the mirror, but you know what? I never really saw God. So I begin to ask the Lord, how do I see

278
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:18,640
you when I look at me? And that's a tough question, because we don't really want to…it's like,

279
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,920
what's your greatest strength? That's hard to answer sometimes, because you don't want to sound

280
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:29,600
braggadocious. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, you don't want to say, well, I have no strengths.

281
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:35,360
That's a lie. You know you're strong at some things. That's false humility, which is another

282
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:42,080
subject for another time. So how do I see Jesus? So I look at it like this. If I can't see anything

283
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:49,600
else when I look at me, what is the eternal gift of Jesus Christ? It's eternal life. I'm a Christian.

284
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:57,760
I'm immortal. This old body is going to rot away, but me as a conscious individual, this old body is

285
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:06,480
going to live forever with Him. And so if I can't do anything else but look at that when I look at

286
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:14,160
me, if I consciously make that choice, then guess what? Every time I do that, that becomes stronger

287
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:20,720
in me, because I'm being transformed into what I behold from glory to glory to glory. And then

288
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,640
once you finally get over that realization that, you know what? I have eternal life, and this stuff

289
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,520
out here really don't matter. It's just for a short time. It's what Paul said. These troubles are just

290
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:38,960
for a spell. They're going to go away pretty quick. And then once you realize that, then you can begin

291
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:45,200
to see into heaven a whole lot more for yourself. And you realize that, oh my gosh, when Jesus moved

292
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:51,280
into my heart, He brought a bunch of stuff with Him. And the Holy Spirit comes in, He's got these

293
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:56,720
nine gifts that Paul talked about. Well, guess what? He's got a lot more than nine. Paul just taught

294
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:01,680
about nine of them. And so there's a lot more there. And so then I begin to be transformed into what

295
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:07,920
He desires for me to be. And so I studied this glory out because I realized what Paul said there.

296
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:14,000
He talked about the covenant that Moses walked in. And when he come down off the mount after being in

297
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,720
the presence of God, he wore a veil over his face, because the people couldn't look at him.

298
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:24,480
Yeah, it was too bright. But he said in the covenant that was fading, okay, so at that time,

299
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:30,000
the greatest glory on the earth was in the garden when man had communion with God.

300
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,160
Right. And everything was perfect. And then they ate themselves out of house and home.

301
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:39,520
Literally. You know, I mean, that's exactly what happened. And they get booted from the garden.

302
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:47,600
And that glory began to fade from that decision until the cross. Yes. And that covenant was over

303
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:54,560
the day Jesus died. And a brand new covenant got established that day. And Paul said in that

304
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,760
covenant that was fading, he had to wear a veil. So how much greater should the glory be in this

305
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:05,920
covenant, in a covenant where the glory is ever increasing? So we should be looking around saying,

306
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:12,080
where's all the shiny Christians? You know, not the polished bald heads, you know, but the shiny

307
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:18,080
Christian, those walking in the glory of God. Okay. Well, James, I need more of a scripture for

308
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:24,000
that because that seems like a lot of conjecture. Well, Habakkuk 2.14, it says that the knowledge of

309
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,560
the glory of the Lord will cover the earth, the waters cover the sea. That's right. And I've been

310
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:35,040
to the sea. It's pretty covered with water. You know what I'm saying? Nowhere where there's supposed

311
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:40,720
to be sea is there not sea. I mean, it's all there. You know, and so I believe that God wants to

312
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:47,520
release his glory in the earth. You know, my goal is to let Romans 12.2 as well, let my mind be

313
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:54,960
transformed so I can look, okay, in that mirror of life and see the glory of God, the presence of God

314
00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:00,400
be transformed into that so I can then carry that glory into my part of the world. Wherever that's

315
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:05,360
at, everybody that encounters me should be able to walk away from that and saying, you know what,

316
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:11,440
either that guy's really weird or I just saw Jesus. You know, and I might've had to pull my

317
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,080
britches up too if I was plumbing. You know what I'm saying? As you crawl around enough, you'll all

318
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:21,040
be able to get exposed. But the best thing about that is when you're human to people is when they

319
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:26,720
can see Jesus in you the most. You know, Jesus looked at Peter. He wasn't Peter yet. He was still

320
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:32,960
Simon. And he says, who do you say that I am? Well, they aren't to Christ. Well, flesh and blood

321
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:39,920
hasn't revealed this to you. That's a revelation. Okay. And the thing about that is this. What is

322
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:45,680
that? What does that mean? Surround yourself with Christian activities. You may really believe

323
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:51,680
because everybody's saying, well, he's God, he's Jesus, he's the savior of the world. But if you've

324
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:59,360
not had that personal revelation, then you've not got to where Peter was on that day where Jesus said,

325
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,640
flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my father, which is seven. So now thou art Peter,

326
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:11,040
you're the rock and I'm Christ. And upon the knowledge of, you know who I am and I know you.

327
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:17,680
Yes. Now I'm going to build my ecclesia, my church, my, you know, ecclesia, meaning governmental

328
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:23,120
legislative body. So if the government's going to be on his shoulders and we're the body of Christ,

329
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:30,240
then his government should be on us. So our job as releasing glory is actually governmental in nature.

330
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:35,840
It's not just religious in nature, right? You know, and so that you have to shift from that.

331
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:42,160
And you don't learn this by studying to preach. You learn this by living out what you teach,

332
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:47,600
you know, and understanding that God didn't give me this revelation so I could go make people feel

333
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:53,120
bad about their lives, you know, and about how bad they sin. He gives me this revelation so that I

334
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,640
could actually be a better Christian, a better son, you know, and a bride, believe it or not,

335
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,200
because he's coming back after a bride without spot or wrinkle. And I'm telling you, we need to

336
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:10,000
have an irony mission in the church, you know, because it's the bride that's wrinkled. It's the

337
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,040
bride that's wrinkled. You know, if it's my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves

338
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:20,800
and pray and turn from their wicked ways, which says people that are in God can do wicked things.

339
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:27,520
It's true. And we can do it and not feel bad about it if we're not careful. So I believe that he

340
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,040
wants to release this glory. And I believe he wants me to have a good attitude about it.

341
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:39,680
Yes, yes, absolutely. Wow. Beautiful. You know, I've just been meditating in a whole new way,

342
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:46,720
the last few days about the bride and being his bride. And, you know, we have these moments of

343
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:54,080
revelation and inner walk. Sometimes we're occupied with the revelation of God as our father

344
00:32:55,280 --> 00:33:01,920
and us as his children. And that the whole purpose of life is to grow us up into maturity

345
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:08,720
and to be childlike, but not childish. You know, it's like all of a sudden, the Lord is coming

346
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:16,560
and the Lord is just kind of awakening a new revelation about walking with him as his bride.

347
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:23,840
And we see in 1 John where it talks about he that has this hope in himself will purify himself.

348
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:31,200
As we have this hope, it's about submitting to the presence of God, submitting to the Holy Spirit,

349
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:38,080
submitting into allowing him to work the fruit of his presence, the character traits

350
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:43,680
of who Jesus is. You know, he was anointed with the Holy Spirit, and it was out of that anointing

351
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:50,400
that he did all of his ministry. And we are Christians and Christ means anointed one.

352
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:56,480
So we're to be walking in that same anointing that comes from his Holy Spirit. So it's that

353
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:02,880
process of getting the wrinkles out and getting the spots out. And think about the love relationship.

354
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,920
I've been working on a daily devotional out of the Song of Solomon, and I'm just getting started

355
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:17,120
on it. But it's kind of opening my spirit up in a new way to his love and to his passion for us.

356
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,640
The word beloved, you know, where it talks in Song of Solomon about I am my beloved,

357
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:29,840
my beloved is mine. That comes from a root word that means to boil. And my grandmother used to do

358
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:36,400
part of her laundry was washing my grandfather's hankies, his handkerchiefs, because he didn't use

359
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:42,720
Kleenex. He's old school, you know, he had his handkerchiefs. And she would put a certain pot,

360
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:49,280
it was just for that, on the stove. And she would boil those hankies with oxadol.

361
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:58,800
And I'm just saying that there is a boiling that takes out spots, and it kills germs.

362
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:06,240
And it makes your hankies nice and clean again. And I'm thinking about the boiling point of

363
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:14,720
his love that is a passion for us, that is a passion to help us become bridal, and not just

364
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,560
good cookie cutter Christians that are doing the stuff that we learned in Sunday school to do.

365
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:28,640
But like you're talking about, letting the Word of God dwell in us richly, that will be life changing.

366
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:34,960
Yeah, the Bible said he who finds a wife finds a good thing. Okay, and the same applies to husbands,

367
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:40,720
okay? The problem is, most people before they get married live in boyfriend-girlfriend mentality.

368
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,760
Right. Okay, literally, and I'm talking to all the people that are not married,

369
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:53,360
begin to live like you're married. Okay, I'm not talking about having breaking a marital vow,

370
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:58,480
I'm not talking about that kind of life, but begin to live as if you're already married,

371
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:04,640
and be a wife as a course of life. Be a husband as a course of life, and then when you get married,

372
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:10,240
you don't have to transition and figure out who you are now. Yeah. Okay, the same is true for the

373
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:16,560
bride of Christ. Okay. Okay, we are the bride of Christ, we've not been to the marriage supper

374
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:22,640
of the lamb yet, but yet many Christians are living like girlfriend mentality with Jesus Christ.

375
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,120
Come on. Does that make sense? Come on. We're not ready to be the bride yet.

376
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:33,120
Bride yet. And he's not marrying a girlfriend, he's marrying a wife, because he who finds a wife

377
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:39,360
finds a good thing. And it's a complete different mentality than just living out here. You had 10

378
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:46,320
virgins, five of them were living like a wife, five of them had a girlfriend mentality. We're

379
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,720
all doing the right stuff, they were virgins, they kept themselves chaste, they were saving themselves

380
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:56,880
for marriage, which you should. Okay, but five of them were living like girlfriends, five of them

381
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,600
weren't ready. The other five were living like the wife already. And I think it's amazing,

382
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:07,440
because one of the funniest things my dad ever told, and he said this in public, he's behind the

383
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,160
pulpit when he said it. He said, I was praying the other day, and I was complaining to God about my

384
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:19,600
wife. My mom, you know. He said this in church. Yeah. And he said, the Lord spoke to me and said,

385
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:28,640
look, you're my bride, how frustrated you think I am. And so that was so funny, because my dad's

386
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,280
not a humorist, you know what I'm saying? He's not funny. And not like that. And so he wasn't

387
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:40,560
trying to tell a joke, he was really being serious. So how many times have we taken issues with our

388
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:46,000
spouse to heaven? And if we really got quiet before the Lord, he was like, you know what?

389
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,280
Did you do that for me? You know, heaven's hand, I'm having to have a lot of grace with you too,

390
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:59,440
you know? And so maybe you should get the beam out of your own eye before you try to take the speck

391
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:07,920
out of your spouse's. So live as if you're already married to Jesus. And you have access to things

392
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:15,200
you don't have access to. Because see, a girlfriend is out running around when the groom comes around

393
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:21,200
to be with the soon to be bride. She's over here doing her own thing. So the things that he gives

394
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:26,960
this group that's been waiting for him, this group don't get. And so there's a relationship aspect,

395
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:34,160
if you're living as a wife already, that you just get more, you know? And so there's more covenant,

396
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:40,480
there's more glory. And plus, when he comes, you're ready to go. Yes. You know, and so it's an amazing

397
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:45,360
thing to think about the glory of God and the bride ship, because it's all about covenant.

398
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,600
Yes. You know, it's all about covenant. And I don't think we understand enough about covenant

399
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,160
and blood and faithfulness and loyalty. And I think a lot of gang bangers in these big cities

400
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:59,040
know more about loyalty and covenant than what we do, because there are a lot of them are willing

401
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:04,800
to lay down their life for nothing because of the covenant that they have with these other really bad

402
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:11,040
guys. But yet we have Christian believers that we fall out over what we ate on eating Sunday.

403
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:19,200
Well, he brought Popeye's chicken, you know, and not KFC. And so now all of a sudden we've got to

404
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:27,600
fallen out over a meal that don't even matter. And when we fight over whether the rapture is

405
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:32,160
going to happen pre-emit or post, and people divide over this stuff over something that hasn't

406
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:38,720
even happened yet. You know what I'm saying? Why would we let ourselves be drawn into that kind of

407
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,960
nonsense when there's so much glory to be had? Yes. You know, and where you add on that mountain

408
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:49,440
of God is your business. Maybe God called you to this mountain and you need to be there right there

409
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:55,280
in that place. Maybe he called you to climb up the mountain and go higher. But man, be at that place

410
00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:00,080
and release the glory that you've been given, because everybody in your life needs to see that

411
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:06,880
and it needs to see the faithfulness of God to man. And that's how they see it is by you showing

412
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,440
that, hey, God's been faithful to me. Yes. You know, and displaying that in your life.

413
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,840
So kingdom authority, kingdom covenant, walking through a place and realizing that authority is

414
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:24,000
with you everywhere you go. You don't have to make it happen. Right. Yeah. I've never went out into a

415
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:30,080
peach orchard and heard the trees groaning, trying to push out some peaches. You know what I'm saying?

416
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:35,920
They just get in the presence of the sun every day and they soak in the rain when it comes

417
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:44,320
and they yield to the caretaking provided to them and they bear fruit. Yes. And if we'll get in the

418
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:52,720
presence of Jesus and let the sun shine in our lives, soak in the water of the word and let the

419
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:59,600
caretaker prune us where we need to be pruned, we will be bountiful in production of the fruit of the

420
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:06,000
spirit. And we don't have to struggle for it. We don't have to fight for it. I know sometimes those

421
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:11,520
people that make us angry really push us, but at the same time, you do not have to struggle to bear

422
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:16,720
fruit if you'll just stay in the presence of God. Amen. That's all you have to do. Absolutely true.

423
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:23,680
Would you pray for our listeners? Yes. Yes, I will. Lord, I pray for every person that will hear

424
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:29,200
this podcast. God, even those that don't, there's people that's going to be in the next room of

425
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,520
somebody else listening to this on an earbud. Maybe they're sneaking around listening to it

426
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,760
because they live in a house where there's unbelievers. Lord, you send your word and heal

427
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:44,080
their disease. And so Lord, we just send your word to every home, every vehicle, every subway,

428
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:52,240
every train car, every airplane, every motorcycle, every ship, whatever mode that people's ever

429
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:57,680
bicycle, people's traveling, they're listening to this, they're walking to the park. Lord, let your

430
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:04,080
glory emanate from that place. Lord, even as people tried to get in Peter's presence so the shadow

431
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,880
would fall on them. Lord, as people listen to this, I pray your presence would be there and that their

432
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:15,040
shadow would release what's overshadowing them. And so in Jesus' name, I just pray for victory to come.

433
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:21,600
I pray for healing, divine healing to come in Jesus' name to every person that hears this. Lord,

434
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:27,440
we call their bodies into alignment with the blueprint of heaven. Jesus drew their blueprint,

435
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:32,000
their body, soul, and spirit and how they're all connected together. And in Jesus' name, we call

436
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:38,080
blood disorders back into alignment with Jesus. Bone structure, muscle structure, the neural

437
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,880
structure, the neurological patterns in the brain, those synapses that's supposed to be firing

438
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,440
properly. In Jesus' name, it's a timing thing, it's a rhythm thing, it's a frequency thing,

439
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:54,240
and we call our bodies, everyone that listens to this, back into alignment with heaven in Jesus'

440
00:42:54,240 --> 00:43:00,480
name. Yes, Father. Thank you, Lord. Amen. Beautiful. Amen. Thank you so much, James. We
