Thank you, Lord. Amen. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. They heard it. They heard it. It's it's interesting, and uh I uh will try to find a a way because we have to uh leave at some point to go to the baptism. Thank God for the baptism, and then I want to make it up to Chester by three o'clock for that service. And so, but I want to share something with you that is really powerful. Um, if I don't get to finish it by the grace of God, I'll finish it at another time. But I want you to see and look at how uh how powerful it is to have the Word of God. The Word of God. Something that we take lightly. Being able to study, being able to read, being able to have knowledge imparted unto us through the scriptures. When people in other places uh don't have that same amount of ability to read the Bible, they have to do it in secret, they have to do it in hiding. I told you about the uh the underground church in in China that they have one or two pages, and they might read one or two pages that they have that somebody snuck to them, and they read those two pages for six or seven months until somebody can sneak them two or three more pages, and they're being persecuted and being killed for the gospel. But we here have this truth, we have the word of God that we can just willfully, amen, open up the scriptures and ask God to give us an understanding. But we leave it in the back of our cars, we leave it in our trunk, we leave it on our shelves, we leave dust on it, we don't open it, amen, until we come to church, and then after that we put it back away. Amen. But uh reading this word is life changing. Somebody say life-changing. It is life-changing to study the word of God, to have the word expounded to you is life-changing. Amen. We heard the word of the Lord, amen, on Thursday that we don't have to cover or suppress things, amen. We can kill it. Oh, yeah, we can kill it. That's powerful. That's powerful because a lot of folk they they come uh to church and they're struggling. And they're struggling and uh they don't have the joy that they really should have. Because even though they're trying to live for God, the enemy is fighting them, and he's fighting them with things that uh they think that they have to suppress or they think they have to cover. But the Bible teaches us that we are to mortify our members which are here on the earth. In other words, we have the ability to kill those things, amen, and get rid of them that we don't have to be men. You know, they told me it's good. They told me that the worst uh uh a drunk is a sober drunk because they really want to drink, but they're suppressing their will to drink, and so that makes them really nasty, and so, but once they've killed that taste of alcohol, hallelujah, then they can have some real joy. Uh somebody needs to kill something in here this morning in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, one thing of suppressing it. You you can suppress some things and don't have to have God. People all over the world uh go to a 12-step program and and and stop drinking for a period of time, but when they're confronted with issues, they might go back, but through the power of God, you can kill it. Anybody killed anything in here? Yes. Yes. Now, before I get into the script, I know I'm not gonna finish this today, but before I before I uh go into the scriptures, for all my single unmarried folk, folk waiting on a husband, waiting on a wife, amen. You don't want God to kill your desire. God, I want my desire to stay there, but kill what I'm doing that I shouldn't be doing, kill that. Because one day I might get married. Glory to God. Somebody say hallelujah. Yes. Beat it down, beat it back, but don't kill it. I know I'm talking right. Am I talking right? Single people. Wow. Wow. Wow. Man, I know how to get some, I know how to get some feedback now, Sister Teresa. I just got to go down that realm. They come alive. Jesus did something here powerful. In Matthew 17 and verse 1, the Bible says, after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John, his brother, and uh bringeth them apart into a high mountain. After six days. I tell you, man, Jesus. I tell you, Jesus. He waited until after the Sabbath. So he wouldn't break the law. Y'all don't want to have me preach today. He waited. He waited because he was restricted to how far he could go from the temple on the Sabbath. And so he waited until the Sabbath was over, and then he brought, but he was selective in his bringing. And so he brought Peter, James, and John his brother. Amen. There's sometimes you have to be selective in who you bring with you. Glory. Everybody can go with you where God is trying to take you. You've got to be selective. Now, God is no respectable person, but some God is strategic in what he does. And you have to be strategic in who you hang around with. Because some folk, amen, they don't mean you no harm, they just don't mean you no good. And so he was strategic in who he selected. And sometimes uh favor, it just ain't fair. God chooses who he chooses. Can you imagine God trying to choose you and you bringing somebody along that's trying to get you to live for the devil? But God is choosing you to live for God. Hallelujah. But every time you turn around, they're trying to get you to do something bad or do something wrong or to turn you away from what God wants you to do. Amen. Hallelujah. I want you to know that I can't hang around with those types of folks. I've got to hang around with folk that believe like I believe and want to walk like I walk and want to run like I run. Glory to God. Somebody say hallelujah. Yes, God trying to get you apart. He didn't take them up into some mountain, he took them up in a high mountain. God's trying to take you higher. Do me a favor and you talk to the person. Let them know God trying to take you higher. And then ask them the question: Do you want to go higher? If your answer is yes, you want to go higher, then you ought to tell God, thank you for wanting to take me higher this morning. Higher. Oh God. And the Bible says he took him into a high mountain apart, and he was transfigured before them. He was transfigured. He changed his former appearance into the glorious appearance of men. Amen. And he was changed before the people. Amen. And uh his face, the Bible describes, did shine as the sun. And his raiment was white as delight. This is Jesus Christ showing his glorious body, his glory, who he is in his glory. Same way we're gonna be changed one day. Amen. In a moment, in a twinkle of an eye. For this mortal must put on immortality, and we shall be changed. And so he changed. He wanted them to see him in a different light. God took them higher so they can see God in a different way. You got to be careful now that you're not carrying the wrong people with you, or you'll never see God the way God wants you to see him. Oh, glory. Yes, you got to put away some things and some folk that keep blinding you from seeing who God really is. I want to see God in his fullness. I want to see God in his glory. Uh God, I want my own personal experience with the Lord Jesus Christ. If I got their own personal experience with God, hallelujah. Yes, I want to see him in his glory. Uh, it was Moses said, Lord, before I go out of here, I want to see you, your glory. And God took Moses and hid him in the cleft of the rock. And when God hid him in the cleft of the rock, he hid his face, his hand on his face, and he passed by, and Moses saw the glory of God. The glory of God. Amen. Hallelujah. Yes, brother Mike, can you give me a little bit more sound here? Somebody give me a little more sound here. Saw the glory of God. I want to see God in his glory. There's different levels and different realms of the spirit. Thank you, Brother Daniel. Different realms of the spirit. That's good right there. Browns of the spirit, I got to save some of my voice. Amen. And so, and this, this, this, this sinus thing I got from this air conditioned uh and the fan on at home, blurring all time, all day and all night, and uh the air conditioning, feeling like we're Eskimos. We're doing everything in the house but rubbing noses together. Oh God, I'm telling you, I just got over a sinus and fakes, and here come one right in the back again. I'm stopped up everywhere. I'm not blaming nobody, but nobody is in there but me and my wife. I'm telling you, y'all hear how I sound. God take me to a high place. Where there's no air conditioning and no fans. Take me to a cool place. He transfigured himself before them. And uh behold, the Bible says, there appeared unto him, unto them with him, Moses and Elias or Elijah. Moses was with them. Now you remember now it was Moses that disobeyed God, and God told him to speak to the rock. And he smote at the rock. God told him, as his disobedience, you're not going with me into the promised land. And uh Moses prepared him and put him upon a mount Satan argued with Michael, the archangel, over Moses' body, why would Satan want with Moses' body? I'll say that another time another day. But I want you to know that even though he didn't make it uh into the promised land then, but he's in the promised land now on the mount. Oh, God, thank you for your mercy. And then appeared unto him Moses, and Moses is representative of the law. For the law come by Moses, but truth and grace come by Jesus Christ. So the Lord Jesus, as he transfigured, and he had Moses there, and he had Elijah. Elijah represents the prophets, and so you have now the law, you have the prophets, and you have Jesus, the Son of God. And the law spoke of the coming of the Lord. The law says that uh I have raised up a prophet, Moses said. God told Moses, just like unto you, him shall the people hear, and everyone that doesn't hear him shall be judged and taken away from the earth. The law spoke of the coming of the Son of God, the Messiah. Elijah or the prophets prophesied. Unto us a son is given. They prophesied about the coming of the Messiah. They talked about his coming. He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of a peace was upon him, and by his stripes, you're healed. Remind somebody that I'm healed. I'm healed. I know the enemy's trying to have these lingering things going on with me, but I'm healed. My body, my mind, and my soul, I'm healed. I need somebody to declare that right there. I'm healed. I know what you've done to me, you thought was gonna break my heart, but I found the Lord and I'm healed now. Uh I got that testimony. I'm healed. And uh Peter uh said to Jesus, Lord, is it good for us to be here? Oh, yes, it's good for you to be here right now. Is it good for us to be here? If thou wilt let us make here three tabernacles. One for you, Jesus, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. I need to make three tabernacles. A tabernacle is a place to dwell. I wanted to make three of them. Peter speaks now from a position of no understanding. And when Peter spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And uh behold, a voice. Now, when he says bright cloud, he's talking about the shekana glory of God. The shakana glory of God was upon that mount. And so they get ready to get a twofold revelation, Peter, James, and John. They get ready to find out who really the Lord is, and they get ready to find out who they're supposed to follow here now. Yes, when you get close to God, you know who you're following. You know who you're following. And the Shekano glory shone over that mountain, and out of that cloud came a voice. And the voice said, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him. The law spoke of Christ and his coming. The prophets prophesied of his coming. This is the fulfillment of the law and the prophets. Now you got to hear Jesus, not Moses, not Elijah, the prophet. You got to hear you the Lord. It's good to hear what the Lord has to say. Everybody, listen, everybody else, let's hear what Jesus got to say. And he said, You got to hear him. No need to make a tabernacle for Moses. Moses' time is over. We're not no longer under the law, we're under truth and grace. No need to make a tabernacle for the prophets. The prophets of old in the old testament have all prophesied of the coming of Jesus. Now after, amen. The life and birth of Abraham, 42 generations from him, here comes Jesus. Yes, out of the lineage of David, out of the tribe of Judah. Amen. The Bible lets us know that the scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the lawgiver between his feet until Shiloh come. Talking about the coming of Christ. The Old Testament is filled with scriptures and doctrines and teaching about the coming of the Lord. Amen. And the Lord is here now. Hallelujah. You got to hear what Jesus says. Amen. We're not going back into the Old Testament, pulling out, Amen. Nothing under the law. The law is good. It's teaching. You can teach from it. But we're not under the law. We're not celebrating the Sabbath. We're not killing oxen and bulls. Amen. We're giving God glory out of the fruit of our lips. With sacrifice, God is well pleased. How many of y'all want to give God a well-pleasing sacrifice? Glory to God. Hallelujah. I just love the word. How many of y'all really love? I love the word of God. I love the word of God. Hallelujah. Thank you. And it overshadowed them. And he said, This is my beloved son, and whom I will please hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they heard the God's voice. It shows you the humanity of God. But then it also shows you his divine nature. It shows you something that he is omnipresent. He manifests himself and transfigures himself in front of them, being God in Christ, reconciling the world back to himself. But then he speaks at the same time out of the shakarno glory of the cloud. Yes. Yes. Can God be in two places at one time? You better believe it. He can be everywhere at the same time. He has no end or no beginning. Amen. He has he's not the he's the first and the last. He can be everywhere at all times. I felt that right there. Yes. And so he transfigures before them and shows the glory of God. Then he speaks out of the cloud at the same time. Here is my son, my only begotten son. Hear you him. I'm speaking to him. I'm speaking to him.

SPEAKER_03 19:38

SPEAKER_02 19:41

Glory to God. I could stop right there and shout. I could run around the church. God, can you imagine Peter, James, and John get the revelation? God is giving us revelation, revelatory experience with God. God, and the revelation is so powerful that when they heard it, they fell on their face and they went in front of me. Good God Almighty. Who is this that speaks? Who is this that's transforming themselves? Right in front of them, there's only one. Tell somebody there's only one. Glory. I love the men on that mouth. Good God Almighty. Everybody loves to be on that mouth. But we got something a little better than the mouth. We got the Holy Ghost deep down the end of the summer. I know who the Lord is. I got the common minimum in the glory of God. Yes, glory. Somebody said the glory.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

That's why we need the Holy Ghost. We need the spirit of eternal God down deep down inside of us. It's something about having the Holy Ghost only inside. When your mouth doesn't want to sing up your hands and fly up. Something about having the Holy Ghost when your hands are wanting to fly flying up your mouth of the house. Glory. Something given in your feet. In the name of the Lord, Hallelujah. When I think about the power of God, when I think about the revelation of the Lord, I'm thinking of something stem up in me.

I feel the praise. I feel the praise, and I gotta let it out. Hallelujah. That's so key. I want you to think about the revelation they got on the mountaintop. Here you are, you don't want to get up and pray. You don't want to go where God is going. And they got revelation on the mountaintop. Glory to God. Hallelujah. God makes everybody get up at 5 a.m. Yeah, I am pastor. I'm going to work. You better get up at four. You better pray. I'm with you.

Go ahead, preacher. Don't mess with me. I'm full of the Holy Ghost. The Bible says Jesus knew the thoughts of all. He knew what they were thinking. The Bible says When the disciples heard their voice, they felt on the things they were so afraid of. And Jesus came and touched them and said, Alright. Don't be afraid of that. Why would the Lord say that? Because He doesn't give us the spirit of fear. Well the power of love and a sound You have to be afraid of that which loves you. You have to reverence that that loves you. I just give you revelation. I just showed you something. And as a result, Amen, I want you to arise and be not afraid of God. And the Bible says that when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man. And Elijah was gone. There wasn't nobody there but Jesus. That's why you got to hear only Jesus. If you want to be transfigured and go back with God, you got to hear only what Jesus is saying. Stop listening to personalities and stop listening to people on the internet. Just listen to what Jesus is saying. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except by me. Yes. Only Jesus was there. Do me a favor, tell somebody, keep your eyes on Jesus. Keep your eyes on Jesus. You gotta talk to him because some of them might have their eyes somewhere else. Take your eyes off your money. Get your eyes on Jesus. Take your eyes off your stuff. Get your eyes on Jesus. Take your eyes off of her or him. And put your eyes on Jesus. If you want to go back, get your focus on the Lord. He the only one here. He the one gonna take us the glory. All the stuff you looking at, all the stuff that you coveted over, gonna be left to somebody else. So get your eyes on the Lord. For where a man's heart is, so amen. Where the things of a man's heart is, so is he. Because he's right there where they're at, the treasures of his heart. Get your eyes on the Lord. Get your eyes off him. Get your eyes off her. All about money. All about themselves. Can't see the Lord because they see themselves. Can't see nobody else in them, but when they woke up, they saw nobody but Jesus. Let me tell you something. When you only see Jesus, let me tell you this. When you only see Jesus, when you're only seeing Jesus, it makes your circle about this small. Y'all listen to me. You know, where about a whole bunch of people going with you? Because when you only see Jesus, your circle is that small. If your circle is bigger than that, then you have a lot of distractors in your life. A lot of people that's keeping you from seeing the Lord. A lot of people keeping you back from getting what God has for you. The devil is a liar. Amen. Amen. Amen. I'm preaching better than y'all, amen. Amen. Bro TJ said, come on. Your glory. I see you with your hand up. Amen. Glory. Glory to God. Amen. The truth, it's the truth, anyhow. Tell me it's the truth, anyhow. And they they saw nobody but Jesus. If you want to be transfigured, you got to only see him. If you want to be changed. Watch this. And when they came down from the mountain, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them saying, Tell the vision to no man. Until the Son of Man be risen again from the dead. Don't tell nobody what you just saw. God almighty. Now some of y'all would have problems with that because some of y'all can't keep nothing. You're like a broken refrigerator. Can't keep nothing. Can't, God's down the mountain. Can't wait to get back to the rest of them. Tell me what we saw. There you go. God give you something. Get out the way, Natalie. I want to tell it first. Get out the way. Jesus had a reason. He said, Tell the vision to no man. Tell the Son of Man be risen from the dead. In other words, what you just saw up there, you're going to see it again. Glory to God. That's a good place for you to shop, Brother Pedro. Yes. Hallelujah. What you just saw up there was nothing. I'm getting ready to raise up from the dead. They're going to kill this body. But in three days, I'm going to raise it up back up again. Hallelujah. Destroy this temple. And in three days, I'll raise it back up again. I'm going to get ready to show you some resurrection power. The resurrection of Jesus Christ. This don't make you shout nothing wheel. Was so powerful that after his resurrection, that the saints that had slept or died got out of the tombs and walked around the streets of Jerusalem. That's the power of the resurrection, power of God. It can make something dead come back to life. And sins. But the Spirit of the Lord touched our lives. And now He raised us back up from the dead. The Bible said, by the operation of the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost operated on him, raised you back up again.

SPEAKER_03 34:48

Yes.

unknown 34:50

Yes. Yeah, don't tell nobody.

SPEAKER_02 34:55

Till you see me come out of the tomb. Glory to God. Then you're free to share what you saw. That's why a lot of us see things that God shows. And we go blurted too soon. Because we want somebody to think that we something. Some things God just got for you to hold on to. And when they come to pass, you can shout them and say, I knew it was gonna happen before it happened. Now God be the glory. Just like I know God's got a building for us on the way. And I can shout now. But God's get ready to do tomorrow. Anybody shout now? Some of you can't shout because you can't see it, but I can see him. My eyes are upon the Lord. Some of y'all couldn't see a van, but we got one. Some of y'all couldn't see more folk coming in the church, but they coming. Some of y'all didn't think you see people get the Holy Ghost, but they getting it. I remember when TJ and Tiffany got the Holy Ghost on the same day. Good God Almighty. Oh God, hallelujah. Both of them at the same time, husband and wife. Good God Almighty. I knew God was gonna bless her. Because when I called her out to come, she came down the hour. I said, I know she's not coming. Not Tiffany. Tiffany come down the house. The closer she got, the more the power of God hit her. Hallelujah. Then he had to come up a husband right behind her. I want some too. He got the Holy Ghost. Don't tell me what God can't do. You got to see yourself being saved. You got to see yourself speaking in tongues. You got to see yourself being delivered. You got to see yourself being set free.

unknown 36:47

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 36:50

Can you see it? Huh? That's somebody. Can you see it? Do you believe it? If you can see it, and you can believe it, then you can shout to God for the victory. I see it.

unknown 37:10

I believe it.

SPEAKER_03 37:12

And then I can shout the God for the victory.

SPEAKER_02 37:22

That's why I'm careful who I tell stuff to. Because you got vision and dream killers. And folk trying to tell you things that God ain't said. That's why some things you gotta hold it to yourself. And to God be the glory. I feel the resurrection power. So it's okay for me now to testify. Amen. I was once lost, but now I'm found. I was blind, but now I see. Yes, what God said He's gonna do for me, God gonna bring it to pass. See, preaching and talking like this make the devil mad. Amen. He can't break my faith. He can't break my spirit. He can't stop me from preaching and believing on God. He couldn't stop me from getting the Holy Ghost. He couldn't stop me from getting baptized. He couldn't stop me, amen, from living for God. And he knows he can't mess with me now. I need about three of you who know that the devil can't stop you. For the kingdom of violence, suffer, kingdom of darkness suffers violence, but the violent take it by force. You got to take some things by force. You got to take back your peace by force, you got to take back your family by force. That power is the resurrection power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I'm just waiting for the physical manifestation of what God's already done. You know who's been on the mountain and who ain't? They that have been up on the mountain, talk like I talk. They that been on the mountain, believe like I believe. They that been on the mountain has resurrection power and know who their God is. Hallelujah. I got ten minutes. We got to go get baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Peter don't say a thing. Till I get back up again. Then you're free to testify. Now Peter Peter writes in second Peter chapter one and verse 15. And second Peter chapter one and verse 15. Oh, I feel God. I feel God. I feel the presence of God. Chanel, you feel the presence of God. Chanel said, Hey, Chanel. Chanel likes she got uh uh sixty-four teeth. She's turning up something over there. She got 32, she got 64. I feel God. It's something about the joy of the Lord. She come out. Yeah, something about the joy of the Lord. She's one of the I feel the presence of God. Something about the joy of the Lord that gives you strength. Now, he told Peter don't say nothing. So after I get up from the dead. So Peter keeps this testimony. I just love the word of God. Peter keeps this within himself. You know, you know how some of y'all, you ever told somebody something and told me don't say nothing before you can hang up the phone and already told it. You need to make a circle a little bit smaller. Some folk can't keep nothing. Some folk are just too nosy. You know, nosy folk. You know, nosy people. Okay. Peter says verse 15. Uh-huh, brother. I want to hear what Peter said. Come on, Pastor. Get through the word, Pastor. Come on, look at him. Come on. Moreover, I endeavor that you may be after my deceased. Peter said, No, I'm going to die. And I'm praying that you may. And I get, oh my God, how much I'll just eat it. And having these things always in remembrance. And you know, it's good to get something fresh from God. And uh he says, for we have not followed cunning devices. We've not followed uh cunning and devices of fable fables. When we made known unto you the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. We witnessed this thing. We saw this thing, we experienced this thing, which makes you an eyewitness of the resurrection power of God. Yes, here's what he says. We were eyewitness of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory. Honor and glory when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory. We were there. We saw the glory, we saw him transfigure, we saw the Shekana glory on the mountain. Oh God, I've been in the mountain, Peter says. Anybody been with God? Do you know when you've been with God? Hallelujah. How do you know you've been with God? Because you have some residue on you. Anybody got some residue on you this morning? I've been with God. Yes. He says, We heard that voice. I told you they heard it. When we came such a voice to him from this excellent glory, this is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased. So Peter recounts the glory on the Mount of Transfiguration when the Lord Jesus told him, Don't tell nobody to after my resurrection, my death, and my resurrection. So now he's telling the story. But I want you to see how Peter turns the story. Peter says, This is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased. And this voice, which came from heaven, we heard. Anybody heard the voice of God? He said, My sheep, they hear my voice, and a stranger they won't follow. You know when you hear the voice of God, because you follow God. You don't hear the voice of God, you follow the stranger. And the voice we heard when we were with him in the holy mount. The note here that the Bible calls it in Matthew, there was a mount of transfiguration. Peter calls it the holy mount. And what makes it the holy mount? Because Jesus was there transfigured, and the shekun of glory was on the mount. Every place that God resides is holy. That's why He's in you. And you must be holy people, because the holy God is in you. Hallelujah. Yes. He says, We heard it, we experienced it. We saw it. But we have a more sure word of prophecy. Now we saw it. We heard it. We experienced it. But we've got something more sure than what we saw and heard. That's powerful right there. We've got something more sure than what we saw and what we heard. That's what Peter said. Hear what he says? But we have a more sure word of prophecy. Whereunto that you do well, that you take heed, is unto a light that shineth in a dark place. Until the day dawn and the day star arise in your heart. So Peter here mentions the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah. Y'all listen to me. Even though they saw it, even though they heard it, but there's something even more sure than what we saw and heard, which is the word of God. Which is the word of God. We have a more sure word of prophecy. He says, uh, we're into, you gotta take heed until a light that shine in a dark place until the day dawn and the day star rise in your heart. Watch this. Knowing this, first, that no prophecy is of scripture is of any private interpretation. No scripture that is written is of any man's private interpretation. Some people say, Well, Peter said that because he didn't like women. No, Peter said that because Peter was moved by God. Some folks said, Well, they said that because they don't know this is a different time. No, they said that because God said that. Well, that was back then. He's the same today, yesterday, and forever. Yes, there's a more sure word of prophecy. And then he says this for the prophecy came uh not in old time. Talk about the prophecies that were in the old testament because they didn't have Peter didn't have the New Testament scriptures there. They came here later. He talked about the Old Testament prophecies. He says, For the prophecies came not, don't you know that the whole Bible is prophecy? He says, For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man. What man's will to write the Bible? Man didn't write no Bible. The holy men of God, first the men who were inspired to write had to be holy, which meant that the Holy Ghost was in them. And they spake prophetically as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. In other words, when they spake, they weren't speaking, God was speaking through them. And when they wrote, they weren't writing, God was writing through them. Oh yes. Oh yes. That's why when you're speaking or anything you're doing for God, you got to make sure that it's not you doing it, but God is doing it through you. I want God to do it through me. Oh God, I want God to move on me. I want God to move in me. Even in my worship, I want God to move in me. For we worship Him in spirit and in truth, not in the flesh. We want God to move in our worship. Hallelujah. Do me a favor, lift your hands like this to God. I want God to move in me, lifting my hands. I want God to move in me, shouting to God. I want God to move in me, blessing his holy name. Hallelujah. And when God is in it, then God gets the glory. Hallelujah. He says, Men, I like that part. Holy men of God speak. They were moved by the Holy Ghost. God move in me when I speak. Move through me when I expound on the word of God. Don't let it be me. Take over. This flesh. When I prophesy, let it not be of me, let it be of God. Hallelujah. Whatever I do, I want God to get the glory out of my life. It's a difference between flesh and spirit. Oh, you can feel flesh, and you can feel spirit. We don't want no flesh. We want spirit. How many of y'all want spirit? For the flesh profit nothing. Bible wasn't written by no men, it was wrote by holy men. As God moved on them. If they had written something contrary to what God would tell them, he'd have struck them dead. God not gonna let nobody write nor speak. Because he knows your heart afar off. And he's not gonna give you the opportunity to write or say something contrary to scripture. Now, if God took uh uh Anani and Sapphira and they walked in the house of God and lied about what land that they sold, and God struck them both dead, then God will strike down anybody that tried to add or take out of the word of God. I want y'all to listen to this. I wrote this down because I thought this was fascinating. The prophecy came not in old time by the will of God. He talked about we got a more sure word. Even more sure than what we saw in the mountain. Because the Old Testament fulfilled the prophecies of Christ. You can get a sure word from the book. You don't have to go out to someplace and let some prophet prophet lie to you. All you gotta do is get in the book. So many people are easy to see and they don't want to spend time in the book. And so, so uh Professor Peter Stoner who's a Christian mathematician. This is good stuff here. This is good stuff here. Brother Hezekiah, this is good stuff here. There are about three hundred and thirty-two prophecies in the old testament. And uh regarding the coming of the Messiah. Stoner did a calculation because he was a mathematician. And he said the probability of one man fulfilling eighth not three hundred and thirty-two, but fulfilling eighth of the prophecies. The probability was something like one in one zillion for one man fulfilling eighth of the prophecies. Stoner late on later on said, and I quote, if one man would fulfill forty-eight of the prophecy, it would be ten added to the one hundred and fifty-seventh power of probability for one man fulfilling forty-eight of the prophecy. But here come Jesus, born of a virgin, the Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary. Here come Jesus, he who knew no sin became sin for us all. Here come Jesus, forty-two generations from Abraham, when the Holy Ghost overshadowed her. He will die and raise again on the third day with all power. That he fulfilled the scriptures of the Old Testament. God did it. Y'all be blessed. Have a wonderful Sunday in the name of the Lord. I want you to know that there's a sure word of prophecy. And that we could be in the presence of God, but you want to know some assurance. Go to the book. The Bible says what it means, and it means what it says. And even though Peter saw it, he he experienced the glory. But he said, I got a more sure word of prophecy. The book, it fulfills itself. It's true. I've heard him and I believe him. Everything in the book's gonna come to pass. And God is coming back a time to judge the church and judge the world. Amen. And we've got to be ready when he comes back. Oh, glory. I wish I had some folk, amen, that really, amen, believe God. I wish I had two or three I could take with me to the mountaintop. Who wants to go to the mountaintop? Yes. I wish I had somebody I could take to the mountaintop. That you could experience the shaken of glory of God. That you could get biblical revelation and find truth. Amen. For a world that is hurting on today. I've been to the mountaintop. Glory. Anybody been to the mountaintop? I've experienced his shekano glory. But I want more of God. Anybody want more of God? I want more of God. He gives Peter the opportunity to testify. That I've seen him and I heard him. And I know that the book here is right. It fulfills itself. We need to be people that are mountaintop people. That we get divine revelation. That we experience God on a greater level. Well, Pastor, that's you. You the pastor, no. You got to pray, you got to fast. You got to read the word of God. You got to seek God. Everybody run to seek God. You got to turn the TV off sometime. You got to turn the radio off sometime. You got to get alone sometime. So you can see God move. I want to go. Martin Luther King, look, Martin Luther King even said, I've been to the mountaintop. Now where he went or not, I don't know. But I know I've been to the mountaintop. Him, I know you've been to the mountaintop. I don't know where he's been, but I know where I've been. I've been with Jesus. And when I got up, I only saw the Lord. You got to keep your eyes on Jesus. Tell somebody, keep your eyes on Jesus. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Go find somebody real quickly. We're gonna pray. We gotta go get baptized now. I'm finished. I'm done. In the name of the Lord. Amen. Keep your eyes on the Lord. I hope you heard it. Did you hear it? They heard it. I hope you heard it. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Keep your eyes on the Lord. I felt some fire over here in this car. I've been to the mountaintop. God wants to take you to the mountaintop. Jesus won't take you to the mountaintop. The Lord, the Lord selected them three. And he took them to the mountaintop. Who wants to go with God? Come on, buddy. Give me your hand. Put this in this hand. Give me a hand. You're going with me to the mountaintop. Who wants to go with God? Shaba. You know my master. The Lord wants to take you right now to the mountaintop. Close your eyes and keep your mind on the Lord. Focus on Jesus. Now squeeze that hand that you're holding. Tell them to the Lord wants to take us to the mountaintop. And we're not going to wait till we get to the mountaintop. We're going to praise them on the way to the mountain. Now you have to forgive me. Because I'm trying to get the word Jesus is there. And when I let you have the boat, I'm going to praise them.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:59

I want to be in his presence. You've got the holy seat, Jesus.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:20

I know he lives. I know my redeemer lives. Take me higher. Take me higher. Close my circle. You've been hand selected by God for a miracle. God wants to give you a miracle. He taught me to tell you. From once you were a baby. Until now you're an adult. I want to take you to the mountaintop. God chooses who he chooses. And he's choosing you for another experience. When the Lord said he wants to wipe the tears away from you, I saw you break, and then I saw you try to stop yourself from breaking. You can't stop yourself from breaking. You got to let God break you. Hallelujah. So God can fit you in the name of the Lord. Let your tears go. God will take you to the mountaintop. God will heal your heart. God will show you who you are.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:56

God will invest Himself in you in the name of the Lord. Lift your hands to him. If you're married, you know, you know what it's like to like go to bed like a little bit across with spirits. Yes. Hallelujah. Sataba.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:25

Hear the word of the Lord. The Lord said, Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If a man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world is the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. These are the things of the world and not of the Father. But if you will serve me, hallelujah, I will come into you. If you will break before me, I will come unto you. I will give you joy. I will give you peace, saith the Lord. Hallelujah.
