The God Who Sees

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,440
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much God will put the prayer in

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,380
your heart to pray so that he can answer it, goes into the hearts of the people, doesn't

3
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:18,400
return void, it produces results.

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,400
I'm going to be talking tonight about the God who sees.

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,960
Think it's going to minister to you tonight.

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,400
Believe the Lord has a word for us.

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,720
So Father we just come before the throne of God, we come before the throne of grace.

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,200
We thank you for your goodness, we thank you for your mercy, we thank you for especially

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,840
your grace upon us tonight, upon every one of my listeners tonight.

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:49,240
I thank you Father that the spirit of the living God is upon me, you have anointed me

11
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,520
to preach this message, to preach this word.

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:59,040
And Lord I thank you and I praise you that your word will go forth, it won't return void,

13
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:04,640
but it's going to produce and accomplish what it's been sent forth to do in Jesus' name.

14
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,280
Hallelujah, we worship you Lord.

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,600
Let's just spend a moment and just worship him Father, we just worship you.

16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:18,520
We focus our attention in on you, we thank you Lord, we praise you, we bless your holy

17
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,520
name.

18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,920
I thank you Father that your word is going forth in the earth and the earth and the times

19
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,320
and the seasons that we live in today and that it does not return void but it will produce

20
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:36,000
and accomplish what it has been sent forth to do in Jesus' name.

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,120
So we glorify you today Father and we thank you.

22
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:46,840
So I'm going to talk to you tonight about the God who sees, the God who sees.

23
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,480
Now what do we all have in common?

24
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,120
We all have the same thing in common.

25
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,280
What could that possibly be?

26
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:01,280
Well it's that every one of us wants to be seen, every one of us wants to be heard, every

27
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,200
one of us wants to be noticed, every one of us wants to be acknowledged.

28
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,360
And we live in a world that there is more populated than ever yet so many people that

29
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:24,240
I run across feel as if they are unseen and unheard by others especially by God.

30
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,240
Okay?

31
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,880
Now there's some of you you could feel unseen in your marriage, you could feel unseen with

32
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,800
your friends, you could feel unseen with your family.

33
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:40,520
It could be that you feel unseen in your office, it's just like you're invisible, nothing

34
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,920
you say is being validated.

35
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:47,120
You just feel like nobody's listening and that you're unseen.

36
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,120
Okay?

37
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:54,360
Like for example today I had a friend of mine that sent me a text and this friend of mine

38
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,360
said to me, are you okay?

39
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560
To be honest I wasn't okay.

40
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,800
Well what was that?

41
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,120
She wasn't with me you know physically but she was with me in the spirit and she has

42
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,280
the Holy Spirit on the inside of her and on the inside of her she knew that something

43
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,720
was going on and the Holy Spirit was basically just enlightening her that he sees me, he

44
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,440
knows me, he knows what's going on in my life and therefore I had a conversation with my

45
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,200
friend and the Lord really ministered to me through her.

46
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,120
Well what is that?

47
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,880
That is the Lord, that is God speaking through people, letting me know, listen I see you,

48
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:41,080
I know what's going on in your life, everything's going to be okay, I have everything under

49
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,880
control, I want you to trust me with all of your heart, don't lean to your own understanding

50
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,440
and all your ways continue to acknowledge me, I'll direct your path, continue to look

51
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,280
on to me, the author and the finisher of your faith, you know your works that you've done

52
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,280
in my name have not been unnoticed, I've noticed, I am faithful, I'm going to work

53
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,080
a work in your day if it were told you it would be like a dream, I'm going to work

54
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:12,520
a work in your future that if it were told you you would be astonished, okay, so in

55
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,520
that moment this morning I felt like I was seen by God and I don't know how many of

56
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:24,720
you ever experienced dry times, times when you didn't feel like God is seeing you or

57
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:31,040
hearing you, okay so every one of us goes through a desert season, it's in the desert

58
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:39,480
season that you feel like am I the only one that's going through this, okay, now everyone

59
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:49,400
is either walking through the desert or into a desert or coming out of a desert, the Bible

60
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:58,320
is also filled with people in desert seasons, but in their trials we find that God shows

61
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:06,400
up, not only shows up, but turns things around and there is a change for the positive, over

62
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:14,160
and over and over again God shows up, okay, I went through a very difficult time about

63
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,720
three years ago and many of you know this, some of you don't, I don't really talk about

64
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,040
it publicly that often, but I went through a divorce after 33 years of marriage and

65
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,760
I've been living in my house by myself, all my kids are grown and gone and I just remember

66
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:36,240
one morning you know just taking my dog out into the back and lo and behold right on my

67
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:45,320
deck there were two sticks and they were placed together like a perfect cross right there

68
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:53,400
on my deck and I just stopped and I looked at it and I said Lord you see me Lord that's

69
00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:01,240
a sign from you thank you Jesus and then I just took my dog out where I normally have

70
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,280
him go potty because you guys that have dogs know how it is, the dogs generally go in

71
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:10,800
the same place over and over and over and I went up to that spot at the corner of my

72
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:17,520
yard right by the little light where he always goes and right up against the fence there

73
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:24,720
was another collection of sticks and it was another long stick and a short stick and it

74
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:33,120
was leaning up against the fence and it was right there it was another cross two crosses

75
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,400
I'm not making this up as a matter of fact if you want to see a picture of it just go

76
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:43,600
on my Instagram it's under my Instagram Margie there is a picture of it and God was just

77
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:51,000
showing me listen Margie I see you I know it's going on in your life I will never leave

78
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,640
you I will never forsake you I am with you always and my friends that's the message he

79
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:04,800
has for you today that he sees you he knows you he knows what's going on in your life

80
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,600
it's very important though that we keep that switch of faith turned on and you've heard

81
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,760
me talk about it you know it's like you walk into a dark room right and you turn the switch

82
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:20,080
on and the light comes on in the room what God is saying to you tonight is I want you

83
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:27,160
to keep that switch of faith turned on I will never leave you I will never forsake you I

84
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,400
haven't forgotten about you you are in the palm of my hand and I'm hearing him say right

85
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:41,120
now I want you to rest in me I am the Lord your God I change not and nothing is too difficult

86
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,880
for me if I was able to get the whole plan of redemption to come to pass through all

87
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:52,400
these imperfect people and all the time that it took don't you know that I can take care

88
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:59,000
of you your destiny is written in your heart and when I have planned for you and what I

89
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:06,360
have in store for you is surely going to come to pass don't grow weary in well doing you're

90
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:12,600
doing well you've been faithful many of you have been chosen you're all chosen God said

91
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:19,440
I've chosen you I've ordained you I've ordered your steps no good thing God saying will what

92
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:26,280
I withhold from you okay and I'm hearing him saying stand fast in the liberty where

93
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:33,240
and I've made you free don't be entangled with the yokes of fear and bondage and discouragement

94
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:39,720
and despair of God is saying I want you to lift up the hands that hang down strengthen

95
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,280
your feeble knees get your affection back on the things that are above look on to me

96
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:50,400
the author and the finisher of your faith and I am going to direct your path as a matter

97
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:57,280
of fact the Lord said I'm going to lead you into the best half for your life but you've

98
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:03,760
got to trust me he's saying he wants you to keep that switch of faith turned on okay so

99
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:11,440
he is the God who sees Hebrews 13 5 I already said it but here it is in the amplified God

100
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:21,720
said I will never under any circumstance desert to nor give up on you nor leave you without

101
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:29,040
support nor will I in any degree leave you helpless some of you who are listening to

102
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:36,640
this or who are on the replay you feel helpless hopeless despondent and depressed God is with

103
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:42,720
you in this desert season God is with you right now he sees what you're going through

104
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:49,000
he said I'm not going to leave you helpless nor will I forsake you or let you down well

105
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,640
God let me down he just let me down no he didn't sometimes just before a major breakthrough

106
00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:00,360
in your life you know you go through the the hardest possible time you know it's just like

107
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:05,800
a woman before she's getting ready to give birth what happens she those contractions

108
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:11,400
get harder and harder and harder and are coming faster and faster and faster and some of you

109
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:17,240
feel like that you feel like it's one thing after another after another after another

110
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,880
and God's saying just keep that switch of faith turned on continue to trust me I am

111
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:28,520
going to deliver you I am going to set you on high with long life I'm going to satisfy

112
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:34,720
you and show you my salvation so he says here in the scripture I'm not going to leave you

113
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:43,920
helpless helpless nor will I forsake you or let you down or relax my hold on you assuredly

114
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:50,240
not now I'm going to read you a story about Hagar okay and this is where I got the idea

115
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:56,360
from where God is a God who sees please again if you could share this on your wall I'd appreciate

116
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,720
it you could just share it with your friends or share it with someone that you know needs

117
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:07,720
to hear this word I would appreciate it so here we here see the story of Hagar in Genesis

118
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:16,720
16 7 through 13 the angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in a desert it was the

119
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:24,480
spring that is beside the road to shore and he said to Hagar the slave of Sarai where

120
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:30,760
have you come from and where are you going she ran away she was running away she was

121
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:37,480
running into the desert she was despondent she was upset she was depressed and and she

122
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:43,760
just had no hope and the and she said she said to the angel she said I'm running away

123
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:51,920
from my mistress Sarai she answered then the angel the Lord told her go back to your mistress

124
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:59,400
and submit to her the angel added I will increase your descendants so much that they will be

125
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:07,040
two numerous numerous to count the angel the Lord also said to her you are now pregnant

126
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:12,880
and you will give birth to a son you shall name him Ishmael for the Lord has heard your

127
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:20,200
misery God hears you my friends he has he is going to wipe every tear from your eye as

128
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:25,760
a matter of fact your tears of revelation says are in a bottle he knows the tears you've

129
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:31,880
cried he knows the misery you've been through he understands the trial he understands the

130
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:40,920
pain again he doesn't want you to release your your grip on him that's the enemy who

131
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:48,600
wants you to release your grip on God as a matter of fact the enemy would like for you

132
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:55,760
to doubt God's word the word that he spoke over you the promises that he made to you

133
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:01,200
he the enemy wants you to doubt and therefore release your grip and walk away from the from

134
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,680
God and even the things of God okay but God is saying to you don't lose your grip you

135
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:13,600
know when you when you have that that kind of warfare that's the time you need to draw

136
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:20,200
near to God even closer don't draw away from him or pull back he's not the author of confusion

137
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:26,880
he's not the author of despair yet that is the enemy that comes to kill steal and destroy

138
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:34,200
you just got to hold on okay for the Lord has heard of your misery and and he said this

139
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:40,160
this this child he will be a wild donkey of a man his hand will be against everyone and

140
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:46,360
everyone's hand against him and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers and she

141
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:53,480
gave the name to the Lord who spoke to her and here's my point you are the God who sees

142
00:13:53,480 --> 00:14:02,240
me for she said I have now seen the one who sees me okay here's some more verses on the

143
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:08,200
God who sees you okay and now these verses are taken from that beautiful sermon on the

144
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:16,120
Mount found in Matthew 6 Matthew 6 says but when you give to the needy do not let your

145
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:24,080
left hand know what your right hand is doing so that you're giving may be in secret okay

146
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:35,400
then your father your father what your father who sees who sees what is done in secret he

147
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:45,200
will reward you Matthew 6 6 but when you pray go into your room close the door and pray

148
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:51,920
to your father who is unseen yes I get it God you can't see him sometimes we can't even

149
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:58,600
feel him especially when we're in a desert place but God sees you he hears you his presence

150
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:06,160
is with you he knows and he sees as a matter of fact I don't know if any of you know this

151
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,720
but I actually have a cat and his name is Oliver and he's a black cat and him and Milo

152
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:18,280
unfortunately don't get along so what what Oliver does is Oliver runs into the basement

153
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,800
and he stays in the basement I keep the door open but he likes to hide in the base on they

154
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,800
comes out at night when Milo's sleeping but generally speaking he likes to hide in the

155
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,000
basement and hang on on all the furniture and all his stuff that's in the basement and

156
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:40,440
so every single morning the door's open and there's Oliver meowing up a storm meowing

157
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,960
up a storm I mean I'm not a morning person I don't like a lot of noise in the morning

158
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,680
and here's this cat meowing and meowing and meowing and meowing and every morning I look

159
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:58,000
at him after he keeps meowing you know begging for food I turn him into Oliver I hear you

160
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:04,160
I see you and every time I say that and because it happens every single morning I think of

161
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:10,200
the Lord and how I cry out to him and then yeah he does hear me and deliver me from all

162
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:16,240
my troubles I just don't always feel him and if the Lord just reminds me Margie if you

163
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:23,320
you know being a pet owner here and see your cat meowing how much more me when you cry

164
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:31,240
out to me and you talk to me about the things that you desire in your heart so he is a God

165
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:40,000
who sees so Matthew 6 6 when you pray go into your room close the door pray to your father

166
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:47,280
who is unseen and he says your then your father who sees what is done in secret he will reward

167
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:55,200
you okay another scripture you scripture Matthew 6 17 when you fast put oil on your

168
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:01,760
head and wash your face so that it will be obvious to others but not obvious to others

169
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:09,880
that you are fasting but only to your father who is unseen and your father who sees what

170
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:16,640
is done in secret he will reward you so we see in these scriptures of Matthew 6 that

171
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:25,360
Jesus said God sees you he sees what you're going through and he is going to get you through

172
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:33,800
not only that but God sees who you are okay you know man looks at at at people one way

173
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:41,480
but God looks at people another way man looks on the outward appearance but God looks on

174
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:50,080
the heart and God sees the real you God sees your heart he sees the purity of your heart

175
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:57,000
he sees that you're doing the best you can he sees you and he knows you he knows who

176
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,960
you are not only that he knows what you are capable of and that's why some of you have

177
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:11,400
had so much war over your purpose and your destiny because the enemy is afraid of you

178
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:19,160
he's not only afraid of who you are he is afraid of who you will become or are becoming

179
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:25,360
he sees the potential in you whereas sometimes we don't always see who we really are because

180
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:32,160
we see ourselves one way and sometimes if we're too self-critical we see all our imperfections

181
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:38,480
but we don't really see who we really are the beauty of God is he sees the heart God

182
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,560
looks on the heart and God knows the gifts he's put in you he knows the talents he's

183
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:52,680
put in you he knows you know he knows everything about your future he does know about you okay

184
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:59,880
and he sees you now Samuel I already quoted but I'm going to read it first Samuel 167

185
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:06,480
but the Lord said to Samuel do not look at his appearance you know speaking of David

186
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:12,920
or at the height of his stature because I have no because I have rejected him no meaning

187
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:20,080
one of his brothers he said for I have I have rejected him for God does not see is man sees

188
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:26,000
since man looks at the outward appearance God looks on the heart it was David who was

189
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:36,040
chosen it was David who was the most unlikely person for God to use okay and sometimes the

190
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:42,360
Bible says God takes the foolish things of this world to confound the wise he takes the

191
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:49,200
weak things of this world to prove to the world that he is mighty he is the mighty God

192
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:58,160
so God sees who you really are God saw the depths of David and my friends he sees the

193
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:09,120
depths of you are you listening he sees the depths of you despite what people think despite

194
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:14,720
the opinions of man despite the warfare that you have in your head as a matter of fact

195
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:21,000
if I were you I would believe the very opposite of what is coming at your head because if

196
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,520
you're being bombarded with a lot of warfare in your head along a certain line you can

197
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:32,760
be certain that you do the flip side of that that God is already got that thing worked

198
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,680
out for you and the enemy sees it and he fears it so if that warfare is coming to you along

199
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:45,000
certain lines I would encourage you to do the flip side and say whoa God's got me in

200
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,800
this regard and that's the enemy that's trying to stop it okay despite what people think

201
00:20:51,800 --> 00:21:00,200
despite what we even think of ourselves God sees you and he is calling you another scripture

202
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:06,360
and we're almost done this is going to be a short one tonight we find in Judges chapter

203
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:16,360
six that the Midianites were oppressing Israel and the Midianites were in fear and they were

204
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:21,840
hiding in strongholds and caves and tents okay and I'm going to go ahead and read you

205
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:28,720
the story then the children of Israel did evil in the side of the Lord so the Lord delivered

206
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:35,360
them into the hand of the Midian for seven years and the hand of Midian prevailed against

207
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:42,800
Israel because of the Midianites the children of Israel made for themselves dens, caves,

208
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:50,080
strongholds which are in the mountains and so it was every time Israel soared the Midianites

209
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:55,160
would come up and the Amalekites and the people of the east would come up against them it

210
00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:00,280
just seemed like they couldn't get a break every time they saw here came these people

211
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:06,000
and they would just come against them can I just ever get a break right now okay just

212
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:12,800
perpetual warfare then they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the earth

213
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,880
as far as Geza and leave no sustenance for Israel that's pretty frustrating isn't it

214
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,080
you saw you saw you saw you saw you saw you saw you saw you saw you saw you saw and then

215
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:29,360
someone comes along and steals it okay that's frustrating isn't it okay and then not only

216
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:36,760
that they didn't not only didn't have sustenance they didn't have sheep nor ox nor donkey okay

217
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:42,160
so they they were in a totally messed up situation for they would come up with their livestock

218
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:48,280
and their tents coming in as numerous as locusts both they and their camels were without number

219
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:54,480
and they would enter the land to destroy it so Israel was greatly impoverished because

220
00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:02,600
of the Midianites and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord okay now it came to

221
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:08,200
pass when the children of Israel cried out to the Lord because of the Midianites that

222
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,120
the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel who said to them that says the Lord

223
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:17,600
God of Israel I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and I brought you out of the

224
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,280
house of bondage and I delivered you out of the hands of the Egyptians and out of the

225
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:29,240
hands of all who oppressed you and I drove them out before you and gave you their land

226
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,800
see God is bringing to their remembrance I could just feel the Holy Ghost in this I

227
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,800
mean the whole thing but right here God was bringing to their remembrance all the things

228
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:45,000
that he has done for them and I think sometimes my friends that's what we need to do we need

229
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:51,600
to remember who God is we need to remember his faithfulness we need to remember all the

230
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:59,080
times and the trials that he brought us out of that we need to put those things in remembrance

231
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:04,760
wasn't it David that encouraged himself and the Lord just by remembering all the things

232
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,760
that God did for him my friends I would encourage you to do that that's why it's really good

233
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:16,840
to have a journal or a gratitude journal be thankful start writing down all the things

234
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,400
that God has done for you all the times he delivered you all the times he gave you the

235
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:27,000
signs all the times you know he healed your body just bring those things to your remembrance

236
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,440
and then then he goes on to say and I also said to you I am the Lord your God he said

237
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:39,760
do not fear the gods of the Emirates in whose land you dwell but he did say but you have

238
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:47,560
not obeyed there my voice now here remember we said God is now going to show you that

239
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:53,560
he knows who you are and what's on the inside of you here we see get in now the angel the

240
00:24:53,560 --> 00:25:01,040
Lord came and sat under the tree while his son Gideon Thresh wheat in the wine press

241
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:06,880
in order to hide it from the Midianites and the angel of the Lord appeared to him and

242
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:15,880
said to him the Lord is with you oh mighty man of valor now let's just get this straight

243
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:24,000
what was Gideon doing ok Gideon was in fear with everybody else and Gideon was hiding

244
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:30,520
in the tents he was upset he was depressed he was discouraged and here you have an angel

245
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:39,840
the Lord come down and say hey yo Gideon mighty man of valor what am I saying when I'm saying

246
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:48,240
simple God sees something in you that you don't even see in yourself here Gideon didn't

247
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:57,760
even know who he was and God had to remind him of who he was he said Gideon shake off

248
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:03,400
the dust of your feet Gideon lift up the hands and hang up Gideon what are you doing hiding

249
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:09,880
in fear what are you doing doubting me and my promises you are a mighty man of valor

250
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:15,160
you are a warrior in my kingdom I have called you I have anointed you you're gonna lead

251
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:21,040
my people out of this and you're gonna bring them into the land I promised to them Gideon

252
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:27,160
you're a mighty man of valor Gideon said to him now he's complaining here we go again

253
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:34,040
oh my lord if the Lord is not with us it's kind of like oh Lord oh Lord do you not see

254
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:40,400
what I'm going through oh Lord are you gonna help me oh Lord is this gonna be my lot in

255
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:48,800
life forever oh Lord are things ever gonna change oh Lord now here he goes oh Lord if

256
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:57,120
the Lord is with us why then has all this happened to us and where are all his miracles

257
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:04,320
which our fathers told us about saying did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt but

258
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:10,960
now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the many nights so here

259
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,240
here we go again brings us back to our original scripture the spirit of God sent to me in

260
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,960
the beginning outside under my prevailing you tell my people who are listening to this

261
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:25,080
and who are listening to the replay that I will never leave them I will never forsake

262
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:31,560
them I will not leave them as orphans I will not leave them helpless I am a God who sees

263
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,920
not only what they're going through but I see what is on the inside of them and I know

264
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,800
that they have what it takes to live in the time such as this and I'm going to bring them

265
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,600
out and I'm going to bring them into the place I have ultimately called them to do but you

266
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:54,120
just tell them I haven't left them and I haven't forsaken them and so Gideon goes on the Lord

267
00:27:54,120 --> 00:28:02,320
turned to him and said go in this might of yours and you shall save Israel from the hands

268
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:11,120
of the many nights have I not sent you I feel like an Italian mama have I not sent you okay

269
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:17,160
so Gideon needed to gird up the lines of his mind he needed to be sober be vigilant knowing

270
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,880
that he had an adversary the devil knowing that there was warfare in the earth and that

271
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:27,120
his God was going to deliver him out of the hand of the enemy and so it is with you my

272
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:33,280
friends God sees you and he knows what's on the inside of you so he said to him oh my

273
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:38,920
Lord how can I save Israel now he's putting his he's screwing his head back on okay because

274
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:44,320
faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God and he heard what God said yes

275
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,560
he had questions yes he had doubts yes he was hiding in fear but faith comes by hearing

276
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,440
he heard the word of the Lord he he he heard a prophetic word of the Lord many of you have

277
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,680
had prophetic words from the Lord hold fast the confession of your faith about what God

278
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:06,720
said to you and about you do do what is that scripture the prophecies are given that you

279
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:14,320
make war a good warfare hold on to those words go back in your journals and reread them God

280
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:21,320
is faithful and he is not slack concerning his promises okay so he says okay now now

281
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:26,080
you can see you know that faith has arisen in his heart because of what the angel said

282
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:31,920
to him oh my Lord how can I save Israel now he's got hope hope deferred makes the heart

283
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:37,960
sick getting him didn't have any hope some of you have had no hope well I believe this

284
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:43,840
this particular word is helping you tonight or today or whatever you're listening to it

285
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:50,120
okay oh Lord my Lord how can I save Israel kind of like lifting up your head and going

286
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:56,080
oh Lord my Lord now what do you have in store for me Lord what is the next step Lord what

287
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:01,920

288
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:09,800
world or wherever you live what about oh Lord okay how can I save Israel this is hope indeed

289
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:15,080
by clan is the weakest in manessa and I am the least in my father's house and the Lord

290
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:21,560
said to him aren't you glad when God speaks surely you're not going to do this by yourself

291
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,880
you're going to partner with me my friends you're going to partner with God we are partnering

292
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:33,560
with God there's no temptation taking us that's just common to man but what did God say he

293
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:41,160
said listen I am faithful I will provide for you a way of escape I am a God who sees I am

294
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:46,360
a God who knows what's on the inside of you I am going to provide a way of escape just

295
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:52,280
keep trusting me and he said surely to get in I'm going to be with you you're going to

296
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:58,320
partner with me we're going to do this together and you are going to defeat the Midianites

297
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:06,040
as one man that is a good word from the heart of our father God knows here's lastly God also

298
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:11,960
knows and I don't know why this is a part of this teaching but I believe it's for someone

299
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:17,760
here and I'll tell you what's coming up in my spirit because promotion is coming to you

300
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:44,500
God is promoting you and I'm seeing this I'm seeing a great wide door the factual wide door being open to you it's a wide door it's a double door and I see it like this being open to you and you are going to walk through that door but there's been many adversaries to keep you to try to hand you from walking through that door okay I know I know I know I'm hearing many or the afflictions that are coming out of me.

301
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:55,680
of the righteous. But the Lord delivers you out of them all, those hindrances, those afflictions.

302
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,840
Keep remembering what God said. Keep remembering the word of the Lord. Keep remembering the prophecies.

303
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:07,040
Stir yourself up. Bring those things to your remembrance. Encourage yourself in the Lord.

304
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:15,440
That door is going to open to you of its own accord and you are going to walk into that door.

305
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:21,840
And it's going to be a season of grace. It's going to be a season of miracles.

306
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:28,480
It's going to be a season of granting you the desires and the secret petitions of your heart.

307
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:35,280
Now, Church of Jesus Christ, in the world that we are living in today, it may look impossible

308
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:42,160
that things are ever going to turn around in this world. But with man, it is impossible.

309
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:50,480
But with God, all things are possible. And I believe with all of my heart, all of my soul,

310
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:58,560
that the power gifts are going to be in manifestation in these last days. That this is the secret.

311
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:04,400
There is a secret of the hiding of the power. The Bible says in his hands, the secret of the

312
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:11,520
hiding of God's power. And I believe that the power of God has been held and held back the signs

313
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:18,320
and wonders and miracles of power. Because God is just waiting for certain things to come into

314
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:25,520
alignment. But when those things come into alignment, you're going to see the power gifts,

315
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:32,320
the power of God manifest in the earth. And that's what the enemy is fighting. That's what many of us,

316
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:38,480
especially as leaders, are waiting for. We've been believing for. We've been standing in for.

317
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:43,360
And I believe that's part of that door that's going to be open. We're going to walk into a

318
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:50,720
season of grace, a season of miracles. Just hold fast to confession of your faith. Don't allow the

319
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:58,720
enemy to derail you. Okay. So lastly, God,

320
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:17,840
I hear the Lord saying that you are coming into a season of promotion. Okay. I see it.

321
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:23,600
I see the Lord touching your forehead and putting a mark on your forehead and marking you for the

322
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:31,600
new and letting go of the old and marking you for the new. You're being marked. You've been chosen.

323
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:40,000
And he's marking you for the new. You've been set apart for such a time as this. Okay. The season

324
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:46,080
of promotion, promotion, whatever that means to you in your spirit of influence, it could mean a

325
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:53,040
promotion in your job or a promotion in ministry or promotion and financials and the financials.

326
00:34:53,040 --> 00:35:02,960
Just know that God hasn't forgotten about you. God is not unrighteous to forget your work and your

327
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:09,200
labor of love and all the things that you've done in his name and for him. And all the times you

328
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:15,920
forsook all to follow him. God said in this season, you're going to receive a hundred full houses,

329
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:22,480
brothers, mother, sisters, blends for my sake. Because why? Because you've let everything go to

330
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:29,280
follow me. God's just saying, I want you to rekindle your first love. Stir up that first love.

331
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:34,960
It's been hard for some of you to pray because not because of the hardness of your heart,

332
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:46,000
but because of the warfare. I'm seeing, I think it's Hosea 1012, so to yourselves in righteousness,

333
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:52,560
reap in mercy. It is time to seek the Lord till he comes and range righteousness upon you.

334
00:35:53,360 --> 00:36:01,600
Break up the foul ground. Okay. And that foul ground, you have foul ground. Okay. You know what

335
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:09,040
foul ground is, my friends? You know what foul ground is? Do you know what it is? It's ground

336
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:17,440
that was once fruitful and was plowed and bore fruit. And because of the elements and the

337
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:25,520
rain and the elements, it becomes hardened and it becomes very difficult to break up and to produce

338
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:32,160
fruit. And so therefore you have foul ground, not hardness of heart. So what do you do? You just,

339
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:38,800
just stir up the gift of God. Just begin to seek him. Begin to get into his presence.

340
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:45,200
Let him anoint you with fresh oil in the secret place of prayer. You're going to move in

341
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:53,760
Oam Ma Ke She Ke Ta. I hear the word demonstration. I'm going to use many of you in demonstration.

342
00:36:53,760 --> 00:37:00,320
You're going to demonstrate the love of God. You're going to be a demonstrator of the love of God.

343
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:07,440
You're going to be a demonstration of the power of God. Many of you are going to be used to get

344
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:14,320
people baptized in the Holy Spirit. You're going to be used to minister the baptism of the Holy

345
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:20,480
Spirit. It's going to be very easy for people to get baptized in the Holy Spirit. Number three,

346
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,520
there's going to be a demonstration. We already said it. He's saying it again because faith comes

347
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,240
right here. And I think some of us have grown weary because we haven't as of yet seen it.

348
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:38,000
You're going to see a demonstration of the power gifts, working in miracles, gifts of healings,

349
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:46,080
gift of faith. Okay. Any more demonstration Holy Spirit? Yes. You're going to see number four.

350
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:54,000
And I can see it in my spirit. You're going to demonstrate power over all the all over devils,

351
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:05,520
demons and evil spirits. And I see you. I see you walking, treading on serpents and scorpions

352
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:13,840
and over all the power of the enemy. Okay. And you, as you're walking on the power of the enemy,

353
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:21,520
walking on him, destroying his works, I see that you have the full armor of God on and you have

354
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:31,520
the confidence to walk on the enemies and in the enemy's territory. Okay. So he says it's a season

355
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:42,320
of those four types of demonstrations. Okay. Okay. Okay. So lastly, God knows just when to

356
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:52,080
anoint you, which goes along with what he just said. God has been working on you in the secret for

357
00:38:52,080 --> 00:39:02,480
years. Some of you years and years and years and years. I'm actually reminded of a prophetic word

358
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:09,920
I received from my friend, Evans Pierre. And I thank God for that word. And it's coming up in my

359
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:16,640
spirit. Maybe I need to hear it. And the spirit of God said through him, all you've been ministryed,

360
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:23,520
all these decades have actually been in ministry for decades. He says, this is the moment and this

361
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:30,960
is the time for everything that you've been working for up till now to happen. And this is the season

362
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:37,200
for you for great grace to be upon your life. So many of you, you know, you've been in training

363
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:44,320
for seek in the secret place for years and years and years and years and years. And there's many of

364
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:51,440
you that are new soldiers, some of you young people that are new soldiers that and I can see this,

365
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:57,840
you've been molded and shaped by your parents and by the word of God. And even when your parents

366
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:03,200
told you to do things you didn't want to do, they were doing it for your good. Okay. Because they knew

367
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:08,160
the potential that was on the inside. Just when the angels said to Gideon, you're a mighty man of

368
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:13,680
valor. Your parents saw the potential and they've molded you and the Holy spirit has used them to

369
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:19,520
mold you and the Lord has been molding you. Okay. And there's some of you young people that he's

370
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:26,880
raising up for such a time as this. Some of you millennials being raised up for such a time as

371
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:36,160
this. Okay. Okay. So God has been working on you in secret, in secret for sometimes years. He has

372
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:44,480
not forgotten you. Some of you who are listening to this, you have chosen a career for your life

373
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:50,320
and God's going to flip that whole thing upside down and he's going to open up doors for public

374
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:56,720
ministry for you. When those doors begin to open, just say yes and do it. And the Lord's

375
00:40:56,720 --> 00:41:02,560
going to anoint you. And I hear the Lord saying, I'm going to be with you just like I was with

376
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:08,880
Gideon. You know, yeah, Gideon was afraid. But when the Lord said, I'm going to be with you,

377
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:15,280
then Gideon knew he would have the confidence to go forth in his calling. When I first started

378
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:25,760
preaching as a, how old was that? 22 year old girl, 23 ish, 22, 23. I was so scared. I used to

379
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:32,240
pray for hours and I'm just going to say how I prayed. I begged God. You know, I didn't know how

380
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:38,320
to pray any other way at that time, but I begged God, please. I'm so scared. I'm not a public

381
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:44,320
speaker. I'm afraid of people. I'm an introvert. I don't know what to say. Please show up. Please,

382
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:49,600
please God, please, please. I beg him, you know, and then the Lord had to really work with me and

383
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:54,080
say, listen, I haven't given you a spirit of fear. And that's what he's saying to you. You have a

384
00:41:54,080 --> 00:42:00,320
spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind. And through experience, I realized that the Lord

385
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:05,120
was with me, that he would anoint me with fresh oil that it had built confidence. And that's how

386
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:11,840
it's going to be with you. The Lord knows when to anoint you and when to launch you. Just trust

387
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:20,160
that when that time of launching comes, you are prepared. God has already prepared you. Okay.

388
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:27,280
So God knows just when to anoint you. Psalms 23 verse five, and then we're going to close.

389
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:36,800
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil.

390
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:46,800
My cup overflows. There's nothing like being anointed by God. There's nothing but like being

391
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:51,520
used in the spirit. There's nothing like it in the whole world. And God is saying, those of you

392
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:57,440
that have this call on your life or public ministry, he knows the right time to anoint you.

393
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:06,480
And I'm seeing again, I see some of you being set apart for the work where onto I've called you.

394
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:11,920
I've set you apart. Set me apart Barnabas and so some of you are Barnabas is and some of you are

395
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:18,000
so I've set me set set apart Barnabas and so for the work where onto I've called him. He's setting

396
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:29,040
you apart. Okay. Okay. So God is working on your behalf. You lived through your worst days. And here

397
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:37,120
you are. God sees you. And he knows you. God will show up for you. He showed up for Hagar.

398
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:45,520
And she was going back to Egypt. How much more will he show up for you? So Father, I just thank

399
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:50,880
you for those that have listened to this teaching and under the obedience of your spirit, I have

400
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:57,520
faithfully that I say that confidently, faithfully given these your listeners, what you put in my

401
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:03,040
heart to share with them. I pray God that the viewers that are on live and those that are

402
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:08,960
listening to the replay and those that are listening to podcast, I pray Father that you would fulfill

403
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:15,280
this word in their hearts and in their minds. And I speak a blessing over each and every one.

404
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:24,320
May you bless them, keep them, make your face to shine upon them and give them rest in Jesus' name.

405
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:42,160
And then, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. We worship you. We bless you.

406
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:54,000
We praise you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. I know. I'm going to tell you, there's somebody

407
00:44:56,240 --> 00:45:05,440
I can feel the heart of God. You have had so much sorrow. You were the one that was,

408
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:13,520
the one that's been crying all those tears. And I hear the Lord saying, I know the plans I have for

409
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:23,760
you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, to give you hope and the future. And I believe

410
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:39,280
this word imparted hope to you. And in the name of Jesus, I pull out that root of hopelessness.

411
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:48,160
And Lord, I ask that you pour in, just pour into that place where there was hopelessness.

412
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:58,080
Just pour in your grace to help that individual father. And I pray for that individual that

413
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:06,400
this person would be rooted and grounded in love, that they would understand your heart,

414
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:15,760
that you are the God who sees them and hears them and knows them. I pray that you would pour into

415
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:23,600
them a revelation of your love and that you will truly never leave them or forsake them.

416
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,600
