I want to hear God's voice. God's voice is thinking. God's voice speaks. God's voice doesn't speak outside of his word because God is his word. You can't separate the eternal God from His Word. The scriptures teach us in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things that were created were created by Him. And in Him was life, and that life was the light of men. Yes. Glory. I feel God. You feel God? Yes, I feel God. Hallelujah. Yes. Amen. So God speaks. He speaks to his people. We just have to be able to hear what the Lord is saying. Interesting here. The story of Elijah. Y'all know the story. Elijah, the prophet of God. God provided for Elijah. Amen. God made a way for Elijah even in the wilderness, fed him twice a day with a raven. Brought him bread and meat. Gave him water at the brook. Then the brook dried up. Then he took him to Zarephath to a widow woman. And she provided for the man of God. The brook dried up to get him to move. There's sometimes God would allow things to dry up in your life to get you to move in the direction that God wants you to move in. And oftentimes we spend a lot of times worrying and crying about why this is dried up. And what's wrong with what went wrong with this situation or this thing? It's dried up because God is trying to get you to move, to find God's purpose, plan, and will for your life. Had the brook never dried up, here Elijah been still there waiting on God to feed him twice a day. When you're comfortable, God will get you to move out of your comfort zone. Oh, glory to God. I see right now this is gonna be good. Out of your comfort zone. I thank God that I don't predetermine what I'm gonna say, that I don't write sermons and I got to follow a script. No, I follow the words of the Lord. And I just start talking to God, give me something else to say. But I know God He is distinct in His direction and His purpose and plan for your life. And somebody is seeking God. Even right now, that God will give them direction, God will give them a plan, God will give them purpose for their life. If that's you, tell God thank you. Because you wound up at the right place at the right time. Yes. Hallelujah. God was preparing the prophet, He was preparing him to go to uh Mount Carmel. And as he was going to Mount Carmel, Amen, he would fight against the prophets of Baal. 50 prophets, amen. He would fight against them. And uh he would say, Uh, go dig a trench, and and you get on the altar and you make a sacrifice, and and and and you call on your God, and the God that answers by fire, we know that he's God. And so the prophets of Baal got up and they started got on their altar and they started calling on Baal. From sunup to sundown, almost calling on Baal, and nothing happened. Then they got real desperate and started cutting themselves with knives and bleeding, trying to get an answer from their false God, and nothing happened. Then Elijah said, Well, here, check this out. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to build trenches around the altar that I build. And when I build trenches around, dig trenches around it, and I want you to go get water. Now, and you got to understand that they're in a season of drought. Because Elijah prophesied that until God moved, there's going to be, amen, a dearth and not rain for three and a half years by the word of the prophet. Amen. And so he said, Go get water. Where did they get water? They got off of Mount Carmel and went down in the Mediterranean Sea and carried water up back to the mountain and filled all the trenches with water. Who did that? The Gibbonites. They're the one that tricked Joshua. And they said they should be hearers of woods and carriers of water. Amen. This is a word church. And so if you're going to be able to keep up with me, you're going to have to read your Bible. You're going to have prayer. You're going to have fast. Or you're going to be saying, What are he talking about? You can have come Bible study. Or you're going to miss what God is saying and doing. Amen. And so after he took the water, he said, throw the water. He got on the altar. He said, Give me a sacrifice to offer unto the Lord. And he got on the altar and offered up the sacrifice. We can see what God is going to answer by fire. I'm going to make it even harder. I'm going to pour water in the trenches because fire and water don't match. And we can see. And he got up there, Elijah did, and called on the God of heaven and earth. And the Bible says fire came down from heaven. Licked up the sacrifice. Roll down the trenches of water. Fire ran on water. Shh. Went through the trenches of water and took the sacrifice. And God received the sacrifice. They said, Well, we guess that your God is God. And they killed the prophets of Baal. Because God answers by fire. That's why when God gives you the Holy Ghost, He gives you the Holy Ghost and fire. Anybody got any fire today? I refuse to let anything or anybody put out my fire. The devil is a liar. I refuse to allow the devil to let situations and circumstances put out my fire. I'm going to keep the fire burning. I'm going to stir up the gift. I'm going to keep blessing God. I'm going to keep believing God. I'm going to keep trusting in the living God. I'm not going to let my fire go out. Some of y'all let your fire go out. Glory. Yes. God comes down on Mount Carmel and shows who is the real eternal God. So I imagine now the prophet is feeling pretty good. That God answers by fire. They killed the false prophets. He did what God wanted him to do. But whenever God gives you a victory, you gotta make sure that you keep that victory. Because the more God bless you, the more the devil is gonna try to trick you into not believing God. Yes. Don't get the victory and then let your guard down. Don't get the victory and then let your guard down. Don't let God show himself to you powerfully, but then you let your guard down and let the devil bind you up again. That's what happens in the church. You come to church and get free. Then you leave out and let the devil bind you up. Then you come back in here bound up. God got to loose you again and you come back bound up. But I heard the word of the Lord say, who the Son of Man sets free is free indeed. There are free people in here today. Yes. Where are my free people at? That don't serve God based on situation and circumstances. Don't serve God listening to the voice of the enemy. But serve God by experience. I've done been through something, and God brought me out of it. And if God brought me out of that, he'll bring me out of this. Who can serve God by experience? God is a He is a merciful God. Yes. Yes. Power of God. God is not looking for wishy-washy servants. He's looking for those that believe in their God. Anybody believe in your God? Come on, brother Mike. 1 Kings chapter 19 and verse number 1. Any of y'all believe in your God? People will try to get you to doubt God. God just gave him the victory at Mount Carmen in chapter 18. Show fire. Licked up the water. Can you imagine? Fire licking up water. Fire licking up the water. Not the water putting out the fire. But the fire licking up the water. That's the God that we serve. And y'all thinking that nothing's something's too hard for God to do? And doubting God's power, doubting God's love, doubting what God can do for you, the devil is a liar. We've got to submit our will to God.

unknown 10:22

Yes, Pastor.

SPEAKER_02 10:23

God won't do it if you don't submit your will to God.

unknown 10:26

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 10:28

Yes, you've got to submit your will. You've got to serve the Lord with your whole mind, your body, your soul, and your strength. Yes. Yes. Hallelujah. Brother Fred, I'm going to let you going up the road here. Amen. Brother Fred on fire over there. 83 years old. On fire. Love the word of God. Ain't gonna let nothing put out his fire. Amen. Some of y'all, amen. Brother Fred run circles around you in the church. Why? Because he believes in his God. Anybody believe in their God? I will not be disappointed. By the time we get to verse 19. By the time we get to verse 19, he got the victory. And y'all ever got the victory. And then the devil comes with something else. God just gave you the victory. God just healed your child. Then your other child sick. Then you're all emotional. Didn't God heal one? Heal the other one. God just made a way for you to pay this. Then here comes something else. The same God that opened up a door for you to pay that is the same God that helped you pay that. Yes. After he got the victory at Mount Carmel, you would think that he'd have some faith in God. The Bible said, and Ahab took Jezebel all that Elijah had done, how he had slain all the prophets with a sword. And then Jezebel, that old wicked, wicked queen. She turned around and she sent messengers unto Elijah and said, Let the gods do to me and more also. Verse number two, brother Mike. And also, if thou make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow, about this time. So the wicked prophets, now he got God with him. God done fed him at the brook. God done gave him water. God caused him to move to Zarepha, fed him and took care of him. He done went to Mount Carmel. God then gave him the victory at Mount Carmel. Now here comes Jezebel telling him that she's gonna kill him tomorrow. Yeah, that's what the devil wants to do. Wants you to take your focus off God. He would love to take your life. Amen. But all life belongs to God. God is the life-giving source. You've got to have enough faith. Even when the doctors give you a bad report, not to believe the doctors over the word of God. You've got to have enough faith. Even when the situation seems bleak, you've got to have enough faith in my God.

unknown 13:43

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 13:44

Just apply all my needs according to his riches and glory. You've got to say this body belongs to God. Whose report are you gonna believe? I'm gonna believe the report of the Lord. I need about three of you who can believe the report of the Lord. I'm gonna believe God's word. I'm gonna believe the report of the Lord. Yes. Tell somebody, yes. I don't care who you believe. I'm gonna believe the Lord. Yes, you can believe whoever you want, but I'm gonna believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. He went to the cross. Talk to him, he went to the cross. He was wounded for my transgression. He was bruised for my iniquities. The chastisement of his peace was upon him. And by his stripes, I've been made whole and I'm healed. Who you gonna believe? Who do you believe? Now here's the problem. A lot of times we like to hook up with folk that don't have no faith. So you look around the room, you go slap somebody high five that you know got some faith, that believed the Lord, that's trusting in God. Don't tell me that God can't do it. Don't tell me that God won't do it. You got to believe somebody's got the same faith that you got. Yes. Stop hanging around with fruit folk that don't have no faith. The devil say boo and they say boo. The devil say boo and they run. Hang around with some folk when the devil say boo, then they say, come on, devil. Glory. I got a word from the Lord. Let me go on here. Yes? All your doubters. The devil's taking your soul. God is just trying to build up your experience. And the devil is to convince you that it ain't gonna happen. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he, the Lord told me to tell you. See, you got to have this thing deep down in the innermost, sacred most chamber of your soul. You got to believe God become hell or high water. You got to believe God when your friends and those acquaintance fall off, when you're all by yourself, you got to believe God by yourself. Okay. Amen. You're told about this time tomorrow. And when he saw that and heard that, he arose and went running for his life. Now he had just gotten a victory. Now the devil's got him on the run. Just overcame. God bless. One chapter later, he's in the run for his life. Running. And he came to Bersheba. Bersheba, which belonged to Judah. And he left his servant there. Fear came on him. Let me tell you something. Fear is not of God. When you are in the middle of something and fear comes on you, that spirit comes from the devil. For the Bible tells us God is not giving us the spirit of fear. But power, look, and a sound mind. My mind is sound. Yes, my mind is sound. I know in whom I have belief. And I'm more than persuaded that God is able to keep that which has been committed unto him. He's able to keep me. He's able to help me. Fears of the devil. Yes? The spirit of fear. It's a spirit. You ever been focused with a situation or walked in a room and a certain person there, and you get fearful? You've just walked into a spirit of the enemy. Afraid to make life-changing decisions and choices. Afraid to let the world go so that God can help you in your situation. Afraid to leave your vices behind. To let go of the foolishness and give your life over to the Lord that the Lord can help you. Fear is an attack by the devil to make you feel like, amen, God won't do it for you, that God don't love you. But God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. That comes from the devil. Fear of change. Fear of something new. Fear stepping out on your own. Fear with giving your whole self and being over to God, that's of the devil. Is anybody going through that? Just tell them you speak to the air because don't look nobody in the face because they don't want you to know that they're scared of the devil. Tell them fears of the devil. Fears of the devil. Some of y'all in here right now are afraid to pray at night. Some of y'all in here right now got every light on in the house. Every light on. I turn off every light in the house. Pitch black, dark. And I talk to God in my closet. Somebody would tell me they was praying the other night. The devil slapped the window. They kept right on praying. Trying to mix you up, trying to get your attention, trying to get you all going. I ain't afraid of them. Some of y'all sleep with a night. Some of y'all sleep with a night light on. Yes, y'all do. With a night light on, scared. Gotta get up and go to the bathroom. When you know who the Lord is. The Lord is my strength and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, and whom shall I be afraid? When my enemies and the wicked came up against me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and they fell. Although a host would encamp against me, one thing that I might desire, that I might be in the house of the Lord, that I might acquire his temple. Not afraid. He left his servant behind. Fear was on him. There's sometimes that you've got to leave folk behind. There's sometimes you can't carry folk everywhere you go. Especially when you need something from God. Anybody need something from God this morning? There's sometimes you got to go this thing by yourself and alone. He's on the run. God give him the victory. He's on the run. Sounds like church people, don't it? Shouting on Saturday, Sunday. Next Sunday, they end the pressure. God done blessed them. And the enemies came and convinced them that God is no longer with them. Me and my wife was having that conversation riding to church. We're talking about when the Lord filled us with the Holy Spirit. And how that uh the devil was trying to torment her, telling her that she didn't have the Holy Spirit. Now she's speaking in tongues. The devil telling her she ain't got it. Telling her she's making it up now. She knows right well she wasn't making it up. Power of God all on her. And he's telling her, You ain't got it, that ain't right. That's what he'll do. That's how he does. Because he's a liar. And she's full of power and full of fire. You can't play with the devil. Don't let him in your mind. Give not place to the devil. Keep your mind fortified. Don't you play around with that devil? Don't give him no space. Let the devil know your mind belongs to God. Yes, I serve God with my mind. Yes, my mind belongs to the Lord. Don't think about things too long. Don't let the devil put you into a place where you're just sitting there meditating on what he's saying. Instead of meditating on the word of God. He'll build up strongholds in your life. He's just trying to see will you listen to him? I've got to go. The Bible says. And uh he journeyed a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a juniper tree. Fear has got him now. And he requested for himself that he might die. He said, It is enough now. So he then went from having victory to fear and depression from God blessing him with the victory. And now, so fearful, he just wants to die. Don't have no hope. We're talking about the man of God, the prophet, the prophet of God, who God has called to speak to him and do the will of God. See, whenever God calls you to have a plan for your life, the devil's gonna be on you harder than somebody who don't know who they are. That's why God wants you to hear this word. That you can trust in nobody but the living God and make a decision in your life. I'm gonna do what God wants me to do. No matter what comes, no matter what goes, I am determined. No matter how it turns out, then I'm gonna give God the preeminence in my life, and I'm gonna obey the Lord. Am I gonna obey the Lord? Yes, here I go. He said I might die. Take away my life. I'm not better than my father's. He's depressed, fearful, just had the victory. Now he'd have lost it. Yes. Come on, Savvy. Savvy trying to help me. He laid under that juniper tree. Now God has to intervene because he knows that this man is fearful and he's depressed and he wants to die. But God has so much love for his people. How do you know that the Bible said the angel touched them? Now the angel don't operate on his own, they do the bidding of God. And so the angel just can't come and tell you something. God took the angel. God is smashing an angel here today for some of us. That we can get rid of the fear, get rid of depression, get rid of anxiety, get rid of bidding one way, one day, up and down, up and down, up and down. So that we can walk in the strength of God. Who wants to walk in the strength of God?

unknown 27:18

Thank you, God.

SPEAKER_02 27:24

The angel said unto him, Arise and eat. I want you to write this down. The first thing in getting back with God must be being refocused. Somebody say refocused. The angel touched him, setting him arise and eat. Now you you want to give up and die. But God knows God get you back refocused. God get back refocused. You done took your eyes off the Lord too many times. Based upon people, situations, and circumstances. And God is trying to get us back refocused. God sent an angel. Today the Lord is sending another ministering spirit, the preacher. The Bible said, Are we not all angels of ministering spirits? Sent forth to speak the things of God. Tell somebody get refocused. And he looked, and behold, there was a cake baked on the coals. Same God that was feeding him with ravens and bread at the brook. The same God that used a widow woman to supply his food was now cooking for him. Baked coals in a cruise of water at his head. And he did eat and drink and lay down again. Lord is trying to get him refocused. Not being afraid of Jezebel or any kind of other bell. And the angel of the Lord came again the second time. Somebody said a second time. And touched him again. And said, Arise and eat. Because the journey is too great for thee. You need to be strengthened. You've got to get back refocused. And the only way that you can get restrengthened is that you got to eat. And the only way we can be refocused and get strengthened, we've got to eat the word of God. We need this word. Folks stay at home. Can't get anything from God. Won't crack the book. Oh, they're mad at me when I preach like this, but it's the truth. Won't crack the book. Won't read. Won't come to Bible study. Won't talk to God. And God said, You've got to get focused. You've got to get fed. He said, desire since the milk of the word that you might grow thereby. We need the word of the Lord. Okay. The Bible says. He arose and did eat and drink, and went in that strength of that meat forty days and forty nights. Prophet fasted. 40 days and forty nights. We can't fast, some of us one day, two days, three days. But when you need something from God, you'll fast. When you want to hear God's voice, you'll study. You'll read. You'll fast. You'll put that plate down. When you really want something from God. I don't know about you, but I really want something from God. The Bible says he went into Mount Horeb, the mount of God. Now he gets repositioned. That's another re-word. Reposition. He had to get refocused. Then he repositioned himself to get into the presence of God. You know, Jesus said, Without me, you can do nothing. The enemy will convince you that you're okay, going day by day, not hearing from God. Not searching for God. He'll make you think that you're okay. Till a crisis comes. Then when a crisis comes, you realize you're not okay. That's how the enemy is. It's my job to call him out. My job to call him out. If the devil is talking, he's lying. Because that's what he is, a liar. He's a liar. The Bible says that he came thither into a cave. And uh behold, the word of the Lord came to him. He said unto him, What are you doing here? Elijah? I just gave you the victory. Now the enemies got you in a cave. Fearful and depressed. God was wondering, why are you here? You're supposed to be doing my work. You're supposed to be doing, I gave you the victory. Why are you now in a cave? And that's what the enemy wants to do. He wants to draw, drive you into a cave. A place of non-existence, a place isolated by yourself and alone. It blew God's mind. Now God knows everything. But he asked him, see, you you got to be careful when God asks you a question that you already know. You already know the answer. You're fearful and depressed. But he's trying to stir me. What are you doing here? You should be living your best life. What are you doing in this situation? Why are you here? And I just blessed you. He was in a place that he never thought he'd be in. He's in a cave with a cave mentality. Hiding from Jezebel. Careful. God says, What what what why are you here? What's got you in this place? Now for me. God asked me a question. I'm telling Lord, you already know. I already know. Lord help me. You already know God. I'm scared. That's not a place that God wants us to be in.

unknown 35:21

No, no.

SPEAKER_02 35:22

He wants us to trust in him. Not sometimes, at all times. The Bible says, here's what he said. He said, Lord, I have been jealous for the Lord God of hosts, for the children of Israel have forsaken the covenant. Lord, Israel has forgotten all about you. They've thrown down your altars and they've slain your prophets with the sword. And I, even I only am left. And now they seek my life to take it away. Mistake number one, you're not the only one. You're not the only one going through something. You're not the only one being tried. You're not the only one going through tribulation. You're not the only one, amen, that the devil's attacking. You're not the only one that's trying to live for God. You're not the only one. So he thinks he's the only one. And God has to straighten him out here. And the Lord said to him, Go forth. So he redirects him. Next word. He gives him redirection. He said, Go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord. Now he's in the cave. The Lord tells him, Go in the mount and stand before the Lord. I'm not coming in the cave to get you. You've got to come out of your cave. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. The Lord just says something right there. And I'm going to show you. He says, go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord. In other words, you've got to come out of that cave and get in my presence. The Bible says, Behold, the Lord passed by. And a great and strong wind shook the mountain and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord. Good God Almighty. But the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake. But the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake, there was a fire. But the Lord was not in the fire. And then I'll still small voice. God is not in the noise. God is in the state. Some of y'all are so captivated with playing music. Some of y'all are so captivated by listening at the TV. Some of y'all are so captivated by people talking to you and making noise around you. God is not in the noise. God is in the stillness. Where it's quiet. You've got to turn folk off that have your ear. You've got to turn the TV off. Turn the radio off. You've got to turn the computer off. And you've got to get into a place where you can hear his still, quiet voice. Yes. The Lord speaketh once, yea, twice. And man perceiveth not. Some of you, God can't speak to you until you go to sleep. When deep sleep falls upon man, then God opens up his ears and seals his instruction. Why? That he might keep man from going down in the pit. The hide pride is from a man. We've let too much noise infiltrate into our life. You got the phone ringing. You got the children hollering. You got the TV blazing. You got the music blazing. You blazing your mouth. You've got to get into a still small place that you might be able to hear the voice of the Lord. God woke me up three o'clock in the morning. I heard it still. Spending too much time on the phone. Spending too much time. Listen to folk. And not spend enough time in that quiet place. For he that abideth in the secret place of the Most High shall abound in the presence of an Almighty God. You've got to get into that secret place with God. Yeah, he'll hide you. He'll speak to you. Still quiet voice. People blow my mind. Oh, I heard the Lord say this and the Lord said that. And the Lord ain't said nothing. That's your subconscious. That's your mind. That's the devil talking to you. Somebody else in your ear.

SPEAKER_01 41:48

You need to hear his voice. Elijah. The voice of God.

SPEAKER_02 42:01

And God told Elijah, you're not gonna hear my voice until you come out of that cave. I come out of the cave. Bible says, and it was so when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entering the entranceway of the cave. And behold, there came a voice unto him and said again, our God booked you two or three times. He said to him, What are you doing here? You're here again? How did you get here in this cave? What are you doing here? You ever ask yourself, How did I get here? What am I doing here? God wants no same thing. Again, already know the answer. What am I doing here? The second time. He repeats the same thing that he said before. I have been very jealous of the Lord God of hosts of Israel, have forsaken the covenant, they've thrown down thy altars and slain the prophets with the sword, and I even I am the only one left. And they seek my life to take it away. The Lord said to him, He's been trying to get something from God, and God said to him, Go, get out of this cave. Get out of where you're at. Get out of that cave of fear. Get out of that cave of Depression. Get out of that cave of anxiety. Get out of that cave of lost hope. Go return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus. And when thou comest, anoint Hazel to be king over Syria. And Jehu, the son of Nishi, shall thou anoint to be king over Israel. And Elisha, the son of Shepath, of Abelehoilah, shall thou anoint to be prophet in your room. Why are you in this cave when you still got too much work to do for the kingdom of God? Come on out of this cave. Come out the cave of doubt. The cave of unbelief. God says, go. Tell somebody, go get out of your cave. God didn't feel sorry for him. Because God knew he never had independence being in that situation in the first place. Losing his trust in God. People not weren't caring about what you're in your feelings. I'm in my feelings. I'm in my what are you doing here in your feelings? What are you doing here in this cave listening to the devil? Why are you all alone listening to the devil? Trying to make you doubt that God can't help you, God won't help you, God can't deliver you, God can't give you the breakthrough, God can't heal your body, God can't bring you out. Why are you still in the cave? He's calling you out of your cave. He's calling you out of your cave. You got too much work to do for the kingdom. Why are you still relying on yourself instead of relying on him? See, people of faith talk like this. I know God is able. People of faith talk like this. My God shall supply all my needs. People of faith say he's a healer. I don't know when he's gonna do it. But I believe that God's gonna do it. People of God talk like this, I'm not defeated. I'm more than a conqueror. I can do all things, I can do all things through Christ to give me the strength. See, the devil will make you rest in a penny party. He'll make you think I'm gonna stay right here in a fetal position till something happened. No, you've got to get out of that cave, and you've got to hear the voice of the Lord, and the Lord is telling you to go. Yes, get out of that depression, get out of your pain and your hurt, get out of confusion, leave your brokenness in the cave. Step out on faith and go and get what God has for you. I just need about three of you that want to step out of the cave. I need about three of you that want to step out on faith. I need about three of you that's really trusted in the Lord. Leave your emotions in the cave. Leave your fear in the cave. Leave your doubt in the cave and go. Hallelujah. God got something for you to do. Tell somebody, God got something for me to do. Leave your emotions. The devil is playing with some of y'all through your emotions. Leave your emotions in the cave. Leave your your lack of faith in the cave. Leave your anxiety in the cave. Leave your low self-esteem in the cave. Leave your brokenness in the cave. And step out of the cave. God is speaking to you. Can't you hear the voice of God? He's telling you to go and do the will of God. Yes. God will bless you. He'll bless you going in and you're coming out. God will bless you. He'll bless you in the university. He'll bless you on your job. God will make a way for you. But you've got to come out of that cave. You're depressed. You're fearful. And God is trying to get you to come on out. You've got the wrong people speaking in your ear. You're hearing the wrong voice. Jesus said, My sheep, they know my voice. And a stranger, they won't follow. That stranger will take you to the cave. And he'll leave you there. But God says, Come on out the cave. Tell somebody, come on out the cave. I feel some liberty in here now. Tell them, come on out the cave. I got too much work to do. To be in the cave.

unknown 50:35

Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02 50:36

What's the next verse say, Brother Mike? We get ready to go. Come on out the cave. And it shall come to pass that him that escapes the sword of Hazel shall Jehu slay. Him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elijah slay. Listen to me. God told Elijah. Come out the cave. I got three folk I want you to anoint. I got work for you to do, prophet, prophetess, leader, preacher, saint of God. I got work for you to do. But what he was actually doing was he was setting up his replacement. And he would anoint Elisha. And God will take Elijah off the scene. And God will bring another prophet that will do twice as many miracles as Elijah done. God is looking for some folk that won't mind coming out the cave. God is looking for some folk that is able to stand up on the throne. God is looking for some people He can trust. I defeat every doubt, every spirit of fear, every spirit that's trying to bring the people to depression. I rebuke it in the name of Jesus. Yes. Come on out of your cave. Come on out of your cage. You've been in there too long. Worrying about the opinions of others. Worrying about, amen, how you're gonna make it. Worrying about how it's gonna happen. God wants you to hear his voice. Yes. You've got to have somebody that sees God's promise in you more than you see it in yourself. You've got to have the man of God that sees your promise, that hears the voice of God to bring you out of your cave. You've got to have an anointed voice. You've got to have somebody that knows God. Yes. You can't hear God in a cave. You gotta come out. See, the church has it backwards. They want God to do everything, and they don't want to do nothing. But without faith, it's impossible to please God. So him stepping out of the cave was an act of faith. And by the act of faith, God spoke to him. And he heard the Lord say, Go. Anybody heard the Lord say go? Listen to me. There are times when you got to get away from the spirit of familiarity. There's times when you got to get away from folk that are in your ear. There's times when you just gotta get alone and sit and wait till God speaks to you. Yes, I know the voice of God. And God is speaking to y'all now. He's saying, Come out of the cave and go and do the will of God. Now, who you gonna believe? Who report you gonna believe? Are you gonna stay in your cave? Or are you gonna step out and do the will of God? In the name of the Lord. Who's coming out of the cave today? Yeah. In the cave, in the cave, it's dark. In the cave, you can't see. You can't hear. All you hear is things and noise. And that's not God. God speaks quietly. You got to come out and see what God is saying. God is trying to do something with your life. My assignment today. My assignment today. For some of you who are going through fear and doubt, depression and anxiety. Worrying about tomorrow when tomorrow's not promised. Who the devil is boxed in. That's your cave. He done boxed you in. He got you thinking, Amen, that you're not all that God called you to be. He's making you doubt what God is pulling on you for your life. My assignment today is gonna help you walk out of the cave. I got enough anointing on me to help you walk out of the cave. Yes, you're hanging around with the wrong folk that have no power, no anointing, no authority. But I got enough power and anointing and authority to help you walk out of your cave. Help you get out of depression, help you get out of the lies of the devil to help you, amen, be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. Amen. Come out the cave. Ain't nothing in the cave but old dead bones and skeletons, bats, and dry hair. You can't even breathe. Can't even breathe. Dry hair, dry bones. You go in the wrong cave, you won't even be able to breathe. You'll suffocate and die. God wants you to trust him. My assignment is to help you come out of that cave. But you got to do something. Don't call me before any snatching on you. My back hurting too. Something you're gonna have to do. You gotta stop listening to the wrong voice. Glory be to God. I feel a breakthrough. There's freedom outside of the box. There's freedom. You know, I don't mind saying this because it's my past. I've been in a box. I've been in a cell. And the day that I got liberated, I got out of from incarceration. I cried. The night before I left jail, I cried. See, I got the Holy Ghost on work release. I was full of the power of God. 18 months I studied the word of God, read the word of God, didn't watch TV, didn't listen to nothing, didn't listen to nobody. I read the word of God. That's how I know about God. God filled me with his power on work release. Brother Mike's old ragged card calling on the name of the Lord. I filled with the Holy Ghost. Went back to incarceration full of the power of God. Amen. But the night of my release, I cried because that cell was my cave. And I was blocked from the things of the world. And I cried because I knew I was coming out of that cave. And now I'm gonna have to live for God. You got to come on out and live for God. You've made your cave your sanctuary. I'm talking to you. You got to come out of that cave now and live for God. Anyone want to come out and live for God? In the name of the Lord. Somebody give the Lord a hand clap. I think I'm done. I think I'm done. I think I'm done. When you find yourself in a cave, emotionally, psychologically. Devil trying to bind you up.

SPEAKER_01 58:49

You must reposition yourself and come out of that cave. So that you can hear the voice of it.

SPEAKER_02 59:00

The devil will box you in. He'll box you in and make you happy with it. Knowing that you know there's more to life than just what you're living in. You ever thought it's got to be more to serving God than this? And you're listening to the wrong voice and the wrong folk. Yes? Serving God would make you uncomfortable. Serving the Lord would make you cut away from Him. You must make hard choices and hard decisions if you're ever gonna follow the words of the Lord and say go. Go get yourself stable. He said go. Go get yourself stable. Go get yourself on fire again. Go get your mind right. Go find some peace. Go get some deliverance. Go find yourself walking in the will of God. Listen to me now. If you're not in peace, you're in a cave. Because Jesus said, Peace I leave unto you, peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. For in my father's house there's many mansions. If it were not so, I wouldn't have told you. Behold, I go away to prepare a place for you that where I am you might be there also. He gives you peace. If you don't have peace with a situation, don't you go into it. God gives us peace. Uh-oh. I feel the cage driving you out. Somebody give me a leave that place that are in in your mind right now. That place in your mind right now. That place of uncertainty, that place of anxiety, that place of depression, that place of fear. You're coming out of your cage. I wish I had somebody that really believed the Lord. I wanted to come out of their cage. Hallelujah. In the name of the Lord. Let me give you an example. Give me a baby. Let me give it a go. We're gonna worship the Lord. Oh no. Oh my fire. Oh the earthquake. Oh my god, come on. You heard the voice of God. And the Lord said, Go and be all that God called you to be. Go under the power of God. Go and do the will of God. Go in the power of God. Yes. You're going backwards. You're going back in the cave. Go forward. Yes, in the name of the Lord. Hallelujah. Yes, go in your freedom. Go in your liberty. Go in the spirit of God. Hallelujah. And go in peace. Somebody say hallelujah. Yes.
