Travels invisibly through the air into someone else's ears. Sounds crazy when you think about it like that. Beyond sound just traveling is when a voice reflects off of something. It's called an echo. Echoes are amazing because you hear exactly what you just said. It is an exact reflection. The purity of the echo that sounds in the hearts of men and women. Echo that goes through the corridors of time. The echo that bounces on the chamber of our heart from the very first word spoken by God himself upon the Earth in sand. Let there be light, and there was light. Light came into the world. What was that light? It was the illumination of God himself. And once God speaks something, his business against the bounce off of creation, echoing time and time from that moment on. Life became a thing that reverberated throughout all of them from the day of creation until Jesus walked this Earth.

Why don't you lift your hands right now and give the Lord permission to alter your direction this week? Let your will be done, your way. Hallelujah. Come on, why don't you give him a shot of plans by the blood of the Lamb and the word of a testimony for just about 30 seconds? Why don't you testify? Testify, I've been redeemed. I used to be. I'm gonna testify. Hallelujah. I've been transformed. If you only knew where he brought me from. If you only knew what I used to be. I can shop. Hallelujah.

Why don't you turn to somebody and say, "Welcome to Touch the Future 2023." And this conference only has one gear. You better not be waiting for tomorrow, you're gonna be left behind. Amen. If you can make your way back to your seat, we're going to introduce our first young minister for this conference.
[Music]
Please remain standing. Amen. You've probably been sitting in a car for hours, so standing is a good thing. Amen. We're so delighted. I'm excited to present our first young minister for Touch the Future. Family was in Florida for some time and associated with this wonderful church, but about nine years ago, God took them to the city of Detroit, and they're building a phenomenal church, a great church. And Sister Jasmine Junta is 17 years old. She is the worship leader in their church, and all I've been told is that she's a fireball. So you better get with it. Amen. How many want Sister Jasmine to preach to us tonight? Sister Jasmine, come and preach the word of God. Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus. Let's give that to God right now. Oh, Hallelujah. Lord God, we completely give ourselves to you. Lord, we feel your power. We can feel your anointing in this house tonight. Oh God, we want your anointing. Jesus, move with power. Hallelujah.
[Music]
Thank you, Lord. I do not take. Oh, you can be seated. I do not take this opportunity lightly. This is my home church, my family. And I pastor our family. We, we planted a church in in Detroit, Michigan. I feel the fire in this house. Thank you, Lord. Um, I want to give honor to my bishop and sister Varnum. I am so thankful for these powerful, powerful ministers of God. Thank you, Lord. And the angel of this house, Pastor Barnum and Sister Holly. I look up to them so much. Thank you, Lord. I give honor to my pastor and my first lady, which is also the best parents in the world. Thank you, Lord. And I'm honored to be ministering alongside of mighty, mighty men of God this week. Thank you, Lord. If we could all stand for the reading of the word, we can turn to Romans 13:11-14 in the King James version. Thank you, Lord. Romans 13:11-14. Verse 11 says, "And that knowing the time, that now it is high time to wake out of sleep, for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Verse 12, "The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light." Verse 12. Verse 13, "Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying." Verse 14, "But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, or the lust thereof." Oh, thank you, God. With the help of the Holy Ghost tonight, I want to talk to you about asleep at the airport. To God, Lord, we completely give ourselves to you. God, I pray that you would anoint my lips as I speak your word. Come, have your way in this house tonight, in Jesus name. You can be seated. Thank you, Jesus. You're about to get me in trouble. Thank you, Lord. I don't know about you, but I love to travel. Whether that's from a plane or a car, I just love it. I love it. I love to see the new places, or even the some people kind of dread the flight there because it makes them sick, but I love it. I just love the drive or the flight. It's just so enjoyable, especially when you're driving through the mountains and you see all the, all the um, the rocks just so perfectly formed, and they're just all the trees just so perfectly placed, and the grass just so green. And when you're on a plane, you see all the clouds so up close, and truly how beautiful they are. And when you're flying around sunset time, mind-blowing. It's gorgeous. And before you ask, yes, I'm one of those people who looks out the window of a plane and starts bawling their eyes out, telling the Lord how beautiful his creations are. I think we all know that we don't go to an airport just to sit and watch people get excited about where they're going, or watch some people get irritated about getting there at 6 AM for a flight that leaves at 4. But that's fine. In all seriousness, we're there for a reason: to get on a flight and go somewhere. Whether you're in, when you're in an airport, you're in a huge building full of people going to different places, who all have different walks of life, all going to separate places for different reasons. There's some people getting on a plane and they are never looking back to where they came from, planning to never go back to where they are now. You know that God has one of those flights just like that for you. It may look a little different from everybody else's, it may have a little more turbulence than everybody else's, but God, if it's the one that you pick for me, I'll take it willingly. I want the fun. If it's what you got for me, I know you'll be my health through it all. I know that I've got your strength through it all. So I'm gonna do it, God. I want it. If it's your will, I want it, Lord. Oh, thank you, God. We see you throughout the Bible, the people that God calls people to leave everything and follow him. Noah left the people he saw on a day-to-day basis. He left his hometown and took his family on an ark to pursue a calling that would change everything, even to this day. Paul pursued God consistently, even with a horrible reputation of killing Christians, and left his whole life to follow this Christ that he once hated. Peter gave up his his career and surrendered being a practical leader to be a powerful spiritual leader and a great apostle. Moses had stature and gave up being the grandson of Pharaoh. Esther was willing to forsake all that she risked her life to save her people. Stephen became a martyr when he stepped on that flight that God had for him. I'm telling you, you got to do it tonight, huh? That flight is yours, and it's for you. You gotta step on it with everything that you are. These powerful men and women of God wouldn't have been who they were if they did not have the minds on events. God, or nothing. I want nothing more than your will. I want nothing more than your will. Oh God.
[Applause]
Even Jesus himself gave all. Y'all about to get me in trouble. He is God is the perfect example of what giving everything looks like. He gave his life so we could live in him and have eternal life, the greatest treasure of all. You see, every one of these people, every one of these people's story had a promise that we are living out today. When Noah, when Noah obeyed the voice of the Lord, we are living in that promise that God will never flood the Earth again. When Paul gave his life to God, we now look at him as an embodiment that no matter how far we go, God will always want us to turn around and give our lives to him. The life of Peter shows that if God tells you to leave your career and any and your complete flow of income, he will take care of you. And Esther's story shows that if you are truly committed and submitted to the plan of God, no matter the cost of life or death, he will always bless and take care of you. Now, Steven's life, Steven's life is just so powerful. We have to learn something from Brother Stephen. Hear his first, his first recorded sermon, he was martyred. His first recorded sermon, he was martyred. We have to be willing to do and be whatever God wants us to do, no matter the cost, no matter if it's life or death. But I'll do it, God, if it's what you want. I'll do it, God, if it's what you want. Oh God. Well, God, well, God, my ministry just started. I just preached my second sermon, and you want me to go to, you want me to start a church? You're going to minister in a place I could possibly die? If it's one, I know you said I will do it. If you know, if you know he's smoking you, you ought to just step into it. There's no hesitation about it. There's no doubt about it. But it's him, it's his will, and he'll take care of you. God, if I know I've heard your voice, it's what I want to do. I'm not gonna sleep in the airport. I'm not gonna fall asleep when everybody's taking off. I'm not gonna fall asleep while everybody's pursuing their calling, but I'm gonna wake up. I'm gonna wake up and step on that flight, huh? No matter the turbulence, no matter what it costs, I want it to God. I want it. Thank you, God. When we're on a plane, we don't, we know where we're going, but we can't see. We can't see that place. Wow, we're driving, we're flying, we can't see what's in front of us while we're traveling. We can only see what is beside us. Now, right now, you may only be able to see what's beside you, and you may be only, you may only be able to see the friends that you're leaving, or the job that you're leaving, the family, the career, the money, the ministry you may want to be called to, or whatever it is. But I'm telling you, we've just gotta jump into it. We gotta jump into it. God, if you say no, I won't do it. If you release me, I'm letting go and I'm going. If you're in it with me, I'll jump in. If you save me still, then I'll wait. But when you say to jump, that's right. When I'm diving in, I'm not waiting, but I'm jumping into it with everything that I am. It's time to wake up, church. Touch the Future attendees, it's time to wake up. It's time to wake up and pick the flight that God wants you to get on to. We gotta choose the flight. Is it gonna be the money? Is it gonna be the carnality? Is it gonna be our own decisions, pursuing relationships that don't belong, or the one where you don't have consistency in God? Or are we gonna choose the flight that God's got for us, and it's got consecration, it's got blessing, it's got peace, and a heavenly mindset? It's God's perfect ways, huh? It's pursuing Godly relationships, and it's got a life of consecration. We can't miss our opportunity. We can't miss our flight tonight, huh? It's your night. You gotta pick it. Are you going to the carnality? Are you picking the right decision, and you're going with God? It's, it's time. Don't miss your opportunity, ma'am. Don't miss your opportunity, sir. You can't miss that flight tonight. Don't miss your flight. Wake up and get on the flight. Wake up and get on the flight. Buy the ticket with sacrifice. Buy the ticket with forsaking all. Buy the ticket with with prior investing and studying the word. Buy the ticket with boldness and a Godly confidence. Some of you may be thinking that you're not worthy enough to get on that flight that he's called you to, but let me tell you, he bought that ticket on Calvary for you a long, long time ago. You've gotta get on it. You've gotta get on it, huh? He's picked it for you. He's chosen it for you. It is time to get on the flight. Come on, throw your hands up in the air for a moment. Receive the word of God right now. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Not my will, God. Guide my steps. Let me do what you want me to do. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Why don't you thank the Lord for a great word? Praise the name of Jesus. What a wonderful job. Amen. Said a lot in 15 minutes. Said more than some guys I know. Amen. Say in an hour. Amen. You may be seated in Jesus name. Yasu nombre. Uh-huh. Todos is.
[Music]
Jesus. Hallelujah. Amen. Praise God. And when you go to heaven, you can ask God for interpretation. To praise God. If you've got seats next to you, please raise your hand. We've got people standing. Amen. And we need to fill every spot that is available. I just want to speak very quickly about what's going on tomorrow. Tomorrow morning at 10 AM is the minister session, and Brother Joe Campatella will be speaking in that session. You do not want to miss it. I am a personal witness. The DNA of our church has been affected because of Brother Kenpatella's sessions that we did Saturday mornings. They changed us. They transformed us. People that are just coming to church at night will only go to a certain level, but those people that take the extra step, God just does something extra for you. Amen. And then at uh, in the General Session, Brother Raymond Woodward will be speaking. Amen. A prince of preachers, a dear friend. You do not want to miss that. Amen. And I do want to announce that tonight, the food after service is only for those that registered. It's different this year. If you did not register, we love you. Amen. But you, you know, you didn't pay attention, you know, answer the emails or nothing. So McDonald's is right down the road. But no, it's just for those that registered. And so, uh, if you want to know if there's space available, I've been told you can go to the hospitality desk and see if there's space available. If not, you can fast and pray, and the Lord will bless you greatly. Amen. And, uh, I, I want to share something with you as we're getting ready to give unto the Lord. Uh, this has messed with me, and I'm still digesting it. But Revelation 21:17 says, "And he measured the wall thereof, 144 cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is of the angel." I've learned something this last week that has blown my mind, and that is that man's measurements and angels' measurements are the same. And, and I'll tell you why I want to say this to you is I feel like we've been measuring wrong. We're ex, we have this concept, and I'm sorry, I'm taking a moment here, but it's been revelatory in my life, and it's, I want to change because we have this concept of giving the Lord a little, and him having to give back a lot because he's immeasurable. He is immeasurable. But you and I are not, and obviously angels aren't. But here's what I want to show you in Luke chapter 6, where it tells us, um, real quickly, I think it's in Luke 6, yes, where it says, "Give, watch this, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom." We stop there and we think, I give a little, get a lot. Give a little, get a lot. Give a little, get along. That's not what that scripture says. It says, "Give, and it shall be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom." For with the same measure that ye mete withal, it shall be measured to you again. The only way you get a pressed down, shaken together, and running over blessing is if you gave pressed down, shaken together, and running over blessing. I'm going to tell you how I kind of see heaven tonight. There's some angels that only know how to measure with man's measurements, and some of y'all are wanting a blessing. An angel, they're going to walk up to God and say, "Hey, well, I want to bless him. What do you give?" Well, that's all you can give him back then, because by the same measure that he measured, that's what you can give him back. I don't know if you understand this or not, but heaven is measured by human measurements. When you get to heaven, it will not be measurements that you've never seen before. It's human measurements, and we've had this wrong concept all our lives that we just give a little, and God's obligated to give us above and beyond measures. Not what the Bible says, folks. And so for offering tonight, I don't know what you want, but I want something pressed down, shaken together, and running over, so that when my angel runs up to God, and God says, "How should I bless Crosley?" I want the angel to say, "Man, I, it's just running over. The Lord, Lord, I don't know what to do with all this." And God can say, "Well, give it back to him the same way that he gave it to you." Would you stand with, uh, I am really working on this because I think angels are watching how we are measuring. He's watching how we are measuring. And tonight, I want to measure beyond. This conference is a blessing. Amen. Anybody wanna? I know when we get to heaven, ain't never everybody's not getting the same thing. Lay up treasures in heaven. Some of y'all are going to have a shack, broken down door, falling off the hinges, and when you get there and you complain, "Where's my mansion?" But, um, this was your measurement. You're the architect of your mansion. You're the one who built this with what you gave and what you did. And some other guy's gonna go, and he's gonna have three blocks. His house is just gonna be huge. Don't get to heaven and think, you know, all this quality garbage. God is not about equality. How do you see? How do you think the nine disciples felt when Jesus was like, "James, Peter, come on, let's go," and the others there's twiddling their thumbs? God does play favorites, and I want to be a favorite. And I've already taken too much time, but I hope I'm waking you up to where you can receive, amen, a greater measure because you give a greater measure. Would you raise your hands and pray right now? Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray right now that we would give, amen, pressed down, shaken, amen, and running over, so that it can be returned to us in the same way with the heavenly blessing. God, bless this conference. Bless this church. Bless every giver tonight as they give. Let it be given back to them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's worship Him. You may remain standing or be seated as we continue to worship God in this place. I'm so thankful for what He's done for me.
[Music]
Shame is a.

Robberies. Lifted me up on the ground. There ain't no praise.

There was a battle, a war between death and life, and they're on a tree, the Lamb of God was crucified. Said all night.
[Music]
He's alive.
[Music]
A war between death and life, and they're on a tree, the love of God crucified.
[Music]
[Music]
Happy birthday.
[Music]
[Music]
Oh my God.
[Music]
Why don't you let your voice out just for a moment? If you're thankful that you know he's alive, he is alive. Hallelujah. Jesus. Hallelujah. Jesus. Hallelujah. Jesus. Do you know he's alive?
[Music]
The Bible says that he did not raise from the dead, then everything we're doing is in vain. It's all predicated upon the fact that he did die for me, but he didn't stay in the grave. He got back up on the third day, and because he lives, we shall live also.
[Music]
I feel the Holy Ghost in this place. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Lord, for God is so good. I want to thank everyone for being here and worshiping the Lord with us. Give yourselves a big hand for coming to a place to be imparted to. Remain standing, but go back to your seat. I know there's at least four, five, six seats right there in the center. People can sit if you want to see. Get up where the fire is. Although I think it's burning everywhere. Thank you, Jesus. We are a conference, and that is focused on something very strongly. First of all, we are focused on passing the anointing from generation to generation. I've heard it said my whole life, some things are taught, some things are caught. We're a catching conference. There are wonderful, there are wonderful conferences that are needed. Wonderful conferences that are needed that are focused on training and teaching. This conference is focused on catching. I want the anointing of God.
[Music]
I want people to leave with an anointing. I don't want it just information in your head. I want something to change you for the rest of your life because there are moments in your life that you leave and you are never the same. I had the opportunity as a young man to go to Ethiopia. I was there under the direction of Brother Cole and Brother Klein Dance that led those teams, and I had the opportunity to be there and be a part of Brother Cole's team. I was his the youngest. I think I was mainly there for entertainment purposes. I did magic tricks, and by the cold love magic tricks, I think that's the only reason he had me there. But I would go and I would get involved in the Holy Ghost. I went as an intercessor. And my last year there was 2000, and that was the year that another man was there, and it was his first crusade like that as as well. And on that trip, we connected. Our spirits connected. And uh, from that day, we have stayed connected. We have been promoting and pushing what God is doing in his life. Brother Robinette is a man on a mission. Every time I hear him, it's just purpose and mission that flows out of him. I am so excited about what God is about to do in this place. Are you ready to catch something from heaven? For the Robinette, come and preach to it. Well, come on and clap your hands to the Lord. Come on, if you came with expectation, you ought to clap your hands and you ought to shout unto the Lord. Come on, come on, come on and shout. Come on and rejoice. Come on and lift up your voice militantly and speak with other tongues. Let a great militant roar. Oh, I feel something getting ready to be caught in this room. If you came ready to catch something, you're just ready. You came with a hunger. You want to step into deeper waters and to greater dimensions. You ought to throw both hands into the air. You ought to speak with other tongues as loud as you can. You ought to let something. Foreign. Go ahead and feel after that. Matter of fact, you ought to lay your hand on someone next to you and just let something be imparted across this congregation. Let a hunger come on. Release the kingdom. Release anointing. Release calling. Release.
[Music]
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Revelation chapter 7, verse 9 through 12. The Bible simply said this, "After this I beheld, and lo, a great, great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne and before the lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands." I used to believe that we were going to see billions added to the church. That's not what God said. That was little faith. Billions was attainable, but God said, "I've got a bar that's much higher than billions. I've got a vision in these last days that is greater than any man." Number it. I got in trouble for saying billions. Imagine what they're going to do. And I say there's going to be innumerable people that get the Holy Ghost. You ought to look at somebody and say, "It's gonna be innumerable." I feel something breaking loose. I feel faith breaking loose in this place tonight. If you can see it, if you can believe it, if you can say it, why don't you lift up your voice and let God? "They cried with a loud voice saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb." And all the angels stood around about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God, saying, "Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever." One more time, lift up your voice and shout unto the Lord. Come on, let your kingdom vision be expanded. Let your kingdom vision be enlarged. Let your King. Come on. I've been sent by God to prophetically preach to you tonight that it is time for the kingdom of God to multiply. I said it is time for the kingdom of God to multiply. And if you believe it, if you can see it, why don't you say it? Shout unto the Lord. Come on, you ought to take the hand of somebody next to you and say, "We're gonna see it." Come on, take a hold of somebody. You ought to shout like you believe it. You are a shout. Come on, no more small vision. No more small thinking. This is the greatest hour of the church. All of the apostles lumped together never witnessed with their own eyes the level of kingdom harvest that we are experiencing right now in this generation of the church.
[Applause]
In this hour of the church, we have witnessed more Day of Pentecost than the apostles ever saw all combined together. More times than we can even remember. Brother Kind Dance, over 3,000 have been added to the church in one day. More times than we could ever document. We have seen over 5,000 added to the church in one day. More times that have been documented. We have seen over 10,000 people receive the Holy Ghost in one service.
[Applause]
We have even witnessed moments where God filled over 100,000 people with the Holy Ghost in one service, and that was the conservative estimate.
[Music]
That was the estimate for the doubters, because the doubters could not believe that a quarter million people received the Holy Ghost in one service. Brother Cole said, "Tone it down, just bring it down," as if 100,000 would pacify the haters. Oh, I feel faith. You ought to get on your feet. You ought to shout like you're about to see multiplication. You gotta grab somebody and tell them, "You're gonna see it." "I'm gonna see it."
[Applause]
Oh, something is happening in the atmosphere. And what we have witnessed already in the past, while it's amazing, astounding, while it's just so incredible, multiplied beyond anything we could imagine, everything we have seen in the past pales in comparison to what this church in this hour will witness with our own eyes. God has already opened up his mouth, and the prophetic word of the Lord has already been released into the spiritual atmosphere, and no matter what the enemy does, no matter what the enemy says, no matter what society changes, no matter what gets turned upside down, the glory of this latter house shall be. If you believe the glory of this latter house shall be greater, you ought to get on your feet and shout.
[Applause]
Oh, get a hold of somebody and shake them and say, "You're gonna see it."
[Applause]
"I'm gonna see it. I'm gonna see it." Come on, if you're not happy with what you've seen and you want to see multiplied kingdom harvest, shout about it. No matter what politicians do, no matter what laws are passed, no matter what freedoms are repealed, yet does it matter? The Bible said, "It shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams." And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my. Come on, you ought to clap your hands. You ought to say, "I'm gonna see it." You are a Saiyan. Gotta see it.
[Applause]
Come on, one more time, throw your hands in the air and lift your voice in a militant tongue. Begin to speak. Come on, I rebuke the false narrative of the enemy that's paralyzed your kingdom vision. Come on, Harry, rebuke the lies of Satan that have caused you to cling to addition when God is trying to shift us into multiplication. God spoke through the prophet Isaiah, he said in chapter 55 and verse 11, "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper." I'm gonna see it. I said, "I'm gonna see it." I said, "I'm gonna see it." I said, "I'm gonna see it." Let me see the spiritual atmosphere with some of the kingdom multiplication. We are witnessing right now. Just a few months ago, when we were in Palm Bay, Florida, for the outpouring weekend, in that meeting, God filled 74 people with the gift of the Holy Ghost, speaking with other tongues, just like the Bible says. 27 were baptized in Jesus' name, and over 60 testified of note of a miracle. Earlier this year, my daughter and I flew to Samoa. When we landed in Samoa, we went to our first service in a small missionary church there, and in that first service in Apia, Samoa, dot filled eight with the Holy Ghost, and ten were baptized in the only saving name of Jesus Christ. Somebody say, "I'm gonna see it." That same Sunday, we traveled to Cinemaga and walked into another church where God filled 42 more with the gift of the Holy Ghost, 37 were baptized in Jesus' name, 50 experienced notable miracles. Somebody ought to get on your feet and shout, "I'm gonna see it." A few days later, we took a boat out to the island called Savai'i, near Savai'i, Samoa. We get to a small church called the Pentecostals of Eva, and in that one service, God filled 24 more with the gift of the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. Nine were baptized in Jesus' name. 43 testified of healings and miracles. Somebody shout, "I will see." And we returned to the mainland, some more tilapia, where they had planned a big Holy Ghost rally in the park, and in that night service, something amazing happened. The Prime Minister of the nation of Samoa called the missionary and said, "We want to be at this meeting." I know sometimes politicians are looking for a moment to have their five minutes with the Pentecostals. I hate it. It's crazy. Given five minutes of fame to these crazy people. My pastor's preaching tomorrow, he'll fix all of this. That politician said, "I don't want to speak. I don't want to say anything. I just want to see if it's real." Came with all of her secret service agents. They made a plan with our team, and she sat on the platform. Their agents filled the audience, and they were around us on the platform, and boy, she didn't budge during the singing. She didn't budge during the prayer. She didn't budge during the preaching. But in that altar call, when God filled 155 Sam Owens with the gift of the Holy Ghost, and they started to speak in another language that they never learned in Samoa, something got a hold of her. They're happy by the arms. She said, "I don't know what this is, but I know it's real." She said, "I can see the power of God in you, in them." She said, "Pray for me like you prayed for them."
[Music]
Holy Ghost. Get that platform. That Prime Minister began to tremble as tears began to fill her eyes as she began to realize, "This is that that was spoken of by the prophet Joel." And if you're gonna see it, you wanna get on your feet and shout.
[Applause]
Come on, if you want to see it, shout about it. If you wanted to walk into the dimensions of the spirit, shout.
[Applause]
Travel from there to Australia. A professional, uh, rugby team showed up for church, sitting on the back row. Some big, bent, big hands, bad dudes. But when the spirit got to moving, when they began to see it with their own eyes, nobody had to beg them, nobody had to pressure them. Those big rugby players came running down that middle aisle, and before the service was over, multitudes of them were filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost, speaking with other tongues. Somebody shout, "I'm gonna see it."
[Applause]
Lift up your hands and begin to speak with other tongues. I feel a baptism. I feel a baptism of greater faith in this place right now. Did a hold of somebody and speak in tongues. Shortly at the end of last year, we went to the nation of Bangladesh to support the vision of that great missionary, Brother Corbin. He's got a vision of a million people in Bangladesh, Muslims and Hindus, being filled with the Holy Ghost. God is gonna let him see it. But last year, in six days, we saw 17,500 Muslims and Hindus receive the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. Somebody ought to shout, "I'm gonna see."
[Applause]
Oh, earlier last year, we went to the nation of Brazil, where so many great men of God, uh, Brother the Merchant and Bishop Stark and Brother Walmer and many great heroes of the faith had been prophesying into the soil of this soon to be built stadium that there was coming a day that we would fill the 48,000 seat stadium.
[Music]
[Applause]
Decades of men of faith speaking that which is not as if it already was. I remember landing in Brazil 12 years ago. I remember driving by this stadium, and Bishop Stark pointing out the window and saying, "Robinette, we're gonna have a crusade there one day."
[Applause]
Then last year, we had a small crusade, 12,000 people gathered in this, this little stadium, and for the first time in the history of the United Pentecostal Church of Brazil, God filled over 3,000 people with the gift of the Holy Ghost in one service. And when they saw it, for the kind dance, they could not sit down. They said, "If God could do that, God can't do something greater."
[Applause]
Three thousand got the Holy Ghost in that one service. 132 blind people received their sight in one service. 87 deaf people received their hearing in one service. 65 people who were crippled received complete miraculous restoration of their lives in one service. The mute spoke. People depressed received joy.
[Applause]
Went to South Africa in December, where 74 Trinitarian pastors received the gift of the Holy Ghost. 29 were re-baptized in Jesus' name. Over 110 testified of notable miracles. That outpouring carried over into the nation of Angola, where 47 more Trinitarian pastors were filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost. 93 were re-baptized in Jesus' name. 32 testified of miracles. You ought to get on your feet and shout.
[Applause]
Three months from now, we will stand in Manaus, Brazil.
[Music]
In a stadium of 48,000 people.
[Applause]
And unless then three months, in one single service, we're gonna see over 10,000 Brazilians be filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of other, with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. And if you're gonna see it, you ought to shout.
[Applause]
Come on, you want to get on your feet. You want to clap your hands. You are upset. It's time to multiply.
[Applause]
It's just time. It's just time. It's just time. You just gotta make up your mind. It is time for my city to see a Day of Pentecost. It's time for the state to see a Day of Pentecost. It's time. Come on, if you feel that way, you ought to get out in the aisle. You gotta shout. It's time to multiply.
[Applause]
It's all right. If you're hungry for that, you want to push away in this altar. If you're desperate for it, you ought to push away in. I'm about to.
[Music]
Look at your neighbor, say, "We're about to multiply." Tell them, say, "This ain't for the faint of heart." Tell somebody, say, "Stop playing games." You gotta stop playing games to step into multiplication. You gotta stop playing games to see this kind of revival. You gotta get off of the internet and stop.
[Applause]
You gotta stop criticizing the harvest and criticizing the harvester. You can't see this kind of multiplication until you can rejoice.
[Applause]
You can't see this type of revival until you can celebrate with your brother when he sees it.
[Applause]
You can't see this type of harvest in your city until you can link arms with the neighboring pastor and say, "Oh, thank God you're seeing it in your city with your own eyes."
[Applause]
You can see this kind of revival until you get obsessed with the partnership of faith.
[Music]
When you can link arms with another pastor, and you can say, "Man of God, I don't need to see it first. I'm going to come alongside your church, your ministry. I'm gonna support you. I'm gonna lift your arms." And when you see it, then I'm gonna rejoice. And when you see it.
[Applause]
You just can't see this kind of revival while you're criticizing and gossiping and slandering.
[Applause]
Oh, I'm gonna just say it because somebody needs to. You can't see this kind of revival while you're obsessed with word share in your, your mind is all corrupted with all the criticism and gossip and slander. You just gotta link arms with men of God and celebrate.
[Applause]
You have to understand, strategically woven into the DNA of God's creation is the mandate, the will, and the ability to multiply. God never leaves anything to chance. At the onset of creation, when God created those great whales and every living creature in the waters, every winged fowl, every living thing that moves upon the Earth, the Bible documents the declaration that the command of the Lord made. He said, "And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply."
[Applause]
Somebody shout, "I'm gonna say it."
[Applause]
When God created mankind in his own image, he strategically seated his creation with the kingdom mandate, will, and ability to multiply. And the Bible said, "God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply."
[Applause]
Subdue, have dominion. Genesis 6 and 5. The Bible tells us that God saw the wickedness of man that it was great upon the Earth, that the thoughts of his, of his heart were continually evil. And in Genesis 6:6 and 7, the Bible says that after seeing all the wickedness upon the Earth, it grieved and repented the Lord that he made man upon the Earth. But after Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord, and after he obeyed God and built the ark, after Noah took the beasts of the Earth, the fowls of the air, and every creeping thing that moveth upon the Earth, and God shut them in, after the fountains of the great deep were broken up, after the windows of heaven were opened, and after the rain fell upon the Earth for 40 days and 40 nights, nights, after the flesh now, all stop moving and everything perished. The Bible says that God spoke again, and God spoke to Noah, saying, "Go forth out of the ark, thou, thy wife, thy sons, thy sons' wives with thee. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both the fowl, and of the cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful again." It seeds the DNA of creation with the divine purpose. In Genesis chapter 9, and in verse 1, the Bible said, "And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said,"
Unto them be fruitful and multiply and replenish the Earth. In verse 7, He said, "In you be you fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply."
422 years later, from the lineage of Noah comes Abram, and God speaks again.
He said, "If you will submit yourself to me, if you will obey me, if you will walk with me, if you will have integrity, if you will be blameless, God said, I will make a covenant between me and you and will multiply thee exceedingly. And I will establish for seven said my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee."
Even after Abram, Sarah, and Hagar try to hijack the promise, after Hagar conceives a child, after Hagar's despised, rejected by Abram and Sarah, even after Hagar flees from the harsh treatment of Sarah, she is found by the angel of the Lord by a fountain of water in the wilderness. And the angel of the Lord asked her a question. He said, "Where do you come from and where are you going?"
Filled with pain, in the midst of abuse, feeling rejected, she only knew the answer to one question. She said, "I'm running from Sarah. I've I've been abused. I've been struggling." She didn't understand that there was a future that was woven into her, that there was multiplication that was in her DNA. All she could see was the frustration, the pain, the heartache, the hurting, the disappointment. But God had multiplication in her future.
God opens our eyes. The Bible says the angel of the Lord said unto her, "Return to thy mistress, submit yourself." That's the answer every time: submit yourself. And the angel of the Lord said unto her, "I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude." Mission right. If you can get submission right, you can get the Kingdom right. If you can get submission right, you can get favor right. If you can get submission right, you can get harvest right. If you can get submission right, you can get multiplication right. God said, "If you can get submitted to your..." Somebody ought to throw your hands in the air and lift up your voice. Come on, you don't want to miss this moment. You don't want to miss this.
Even though multiplication was woven into the DNA of Hagar and into the unborn son Ishmael, and even though they had the promise of God in Genesis 16 and 9, God preceded the promise of multiplication with the commandment of submission. Does not happen any other right.
Even though God was establishing His covenant with Isaac, woven into the DNA of Ishmael was a promise of multiplication that nobody could take away. Genesis 17 and 20: "And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. And he said, Twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation."
Shortly thereafter, Sarah miraculously conceives and gives birth to Isaac, and God presents Abraham with the opportunity to be radically submitted again. Oh yeah. The request of the Lord seemed unreasonable. It seemed irresponsible. It seemed downright unrealistic. But Abraham does not resist authority. He does not run from the command of the Lord. Abraham does not change in charge. God falsely. Abraham does not build a coalition against God. Abraham does not find a new covering. But the Bible said that Abraham took that boy to the top of the mountain. [Applause] Submits to authority, lays Isaac upon an altar, takes the knife out, begins to to hold it over his son, and the Bible said the angel of the Lord called unto him out of the heaven and said, "Abraham." But Abraham was so committed to submission, the angel had to shout twice. "Abraham! Abraham! Be down thine hand, lay not thine hand upon this lad, neither do anything unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me."
And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of Heaven a second time and said, "By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, you have submitted yourself, you have been under authority, you did not resist the charge of God." [Applause]
After Abraham passes the test, submission, the Bible said that "in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice." You ought to lift your hands right now and say, "Help me, God. Help me."
[Music]
Get deep in my spirit. Let submission to authority. If I catch anything tonight, let it be a submitted heart. If I catch anything tonight, let it be an obedient spirit. Oh, come on, listen to me. I'm almost done because this is the greatest hour of the church because of the last days promises we are already seen fulfilled with our own eyes, and because we will witness billions added to the church in our generation. And somebody say, "I will see it!" [Applause] Because we will see billions be born again of the water and of the spirit, because this generation will be anointed and see unprecedented miracles, signs, and wonders that God will manifest through you in this world for greater multiplied harvest. [Applause] Because of the multitudes of stadiums that we are going to fill in this hour. [Applause] Because we're going to fill the stadium in your city, and your state, and your country, in your nations. Because if you believe it, you are a shout. You're gonna see it. [Applause] Come on, if you're hungry to see it, you ought to shout about it. You want to let your spiritual eyes be opened, you ought to possess it in the spirit because the kingdom of God is going to multiply and be innumerable before the coming of the Lord. You must resist the trick of the enemy that wants to divide you from your pastor. [Applause] Come on, if you can shout about multitudes, you ought to shout for your pastor. Oh, come on, if you love revival, you gotta love your pastor. If you love the ministry, you gotta love your pastor. If you love the word, you gotta love your pastor. [Applause]
[Applause]
That tells you you're so powerful, you're so big, you're so known, you're so gifted, you've got such a great pedigree, you're so special, you're so anointed, you don't need a pastor. No matter what you do in the kingdom, no matter how many people are filled with the Holy Ghost under your ministry, no matter what kingdom office is you fulfill, regardless of whether you are an apostle, a prophet, an evangelist, a pastor, a teacher, regardless of the proficiency of the gifts of the Spirit that flow through your veins, you need a pastor. [Applause] Come on, if you believe it, shout about it. You can't let anything separate you from your pastor. Psalm 81. The Lord makes this crazy statement. He said, "If Israel would have submitted themselves, their enemies and their adversaries would have been subdued." The Lord takes it a step further and makes this astounding statement. Ha! He said, "Even if the haters..." Anybody got any haters? You're not going to like this. I got a plan for haters, but apparently me and God don't have the same plan. Ah, because God said, "Even if the haters of the Lord had submitted themselves, their time would have endured forever." What? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Submission is so powerful, so liberating, so empowering, so victorious. [Applause] God said submission is so powerful that even if the haters were smart enough to submit themselves, there is nothing that could stand in the way of a hater being blessed of God. [Music] [Applause]
Come on, somebody. If God would bless the haters that submit to authority, what do you think God will do for this church if we submit? [Applause] [Applause]
I feel like an old man preacher. This is now the third time that I've said I'm almost done. I'm sincerely done. It is with the knowledge of Kingdom multiple, like multiplication in mind, that Paul instructs the Corinthians, "Submit yourselves unto your leaders." [Applause] Then the writer of Hebrews goes on to charge God's people. He said, "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your soul, as they that must give an account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofit." If you love your pastor, if you love authority, you ought to lift your voice. You ought to thank God. Even the Apostle Peter charged God's church. He said, "Likewise ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time."
And you hear the word of the Lord tonight. Submission is the safety net and the seed bed of Kingdom multiplication. Submission is the fertile soil where great things are grown and where much fruit can be harvested. Submission multiplies your kingdom offices. Submission multiplies your kingdom gifting. Submission opens doors that no man can shut. If you don't resist authority, God can use you. [Applause]
The kindness was on. We have a podcast on Mondays called Apostolic Mentoring. And by the podcast was with us, her brother, Brother Klein, was with us on the podcast on Monday, and he made this observation. He said, "After all that the Lord has allowed me to see, he said, you would think I'd be looking for less. After all that the Lord has allowed me to do in His kingdom, you would think that I would not need a pastor." He said, "But it's to the contrary. He said, the more I do, and the more I'm gonna do, and the more I've seen, and the more I'm going to see, requires not less authority, but more authority. More authority thus not close doors for me in the kingdom of God, but more authority opens the windows of heaven and opens doors." [Applause]
He said, "I'm not looking for less pastoral authority in my life. I'm hungry for more. Hungry for more. I'm not going to be tricked into thinking I'm too big for a voice in my life. My pastor is in this room. For the Woodward is my pastor. I'm 48 years old. I thought of the things that you said on Monday for the kindness. I started thinking, I've been preaching since I'm 16, since I was 16 years old. I've got kingdom offices and kingdom gifting flowing through my veins. Have seen hundreds of thousands be born again of the water and of the spirit. Have seen almost every miracle in the book of Acts multiplied. Have ministered in almost a hundred nations in the world. Have received more prophetic words than I can even remember. But without the safety net of spiritual authority, without my pastor, without Brother Woodward watching for my soul, without Pastor Woodward speaking into my life, without somebody that can say no, [Applause] without a man of God standing on the wall declaring the warning of the Lord, there's no way to explain what kind of disaster I would have fallen in without Pastor Woodward. The enemy wants you to reject your pastor so he can dilute your kingdom impact. The enemy wants you to isolate yourself and think you're so big that you don't need a pastor so he can hinder your ministry, your calling, your gifting, your future. But I believe I'm standing in a crowd of apostolics that are hungry and desperate to multiply, that are ready to submit ourselves." [Applause]
Come on, if you're hungry to be in under submission to authority, lift up your hands and shout. [Applause] Come on, you want to lift your voice. There's too much at stake in this hour to let the spirit of rebellion get messed up in our spiritual systems. There's too much ahead of us to reject the spiritual authority. Come on, if you want to multiply, throw both hands in the air, and I want you to just begin to pray. I want you to say, "God, let me catch a submitted spirit. Let me catch..." Come on, no more resistant authority, no more rebellion, no more running the opposite way. I'm running towards multiplication. I'm running to submission. I'm running. Come on, if you want a spirit of submission to get a hold of you, I want you to take the hand of someone next to you and begin to release it in the atmosphere. [Applause] Come on, here it comes. Here it comes. There's a spirit of submission in the atmosphere that's going to open up multiplication in the kingdom, that's gonna open doors that no man can shut. Come on, come on. If your pastor is in this room, you ought to find your way through the crowd. You ought to find your pastor. You want to put your hands on the shoes. You ought to put your hands on his feet. You want to say, "Man of God, I'm hungry for submission." Come on, find your man of God. You ought to find your pastor. You ought to declare that you're gonna submit yourself. Come on, there's too much at stake. There's too much at stake. You gotta get a hold of your man of God. You gotta get a hold of your man of God. You gotta say, "It's not..." "I'm not turning away from the voice of the spirit." Come on, if your pastor's not here, you ought to push your way into this altar. You ought to push away into the altar. You ought to lift your voice. You want to find a place to kneel down and say, "From this moment forward..." Troubled somebody, you ought to reach out to the Lord. You ought to find a place to kneel down. You want to say, "I've made up my mind. I'm going places in the kingdom. I've got open doors ahead of me that no man can shut, and want more spiritual authority, not less." [Applause]
[Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] Oh yeah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Keep praying. Don't stop. The only thing that keeps going through my mind is true submission. Don't wait. True submission. Don't wait for a more convenient moment. Straight way. The Bible says early in the morning. The Bible says someone needs to go ahead. Don't wait for a more convenient season. Go ahead. If you want the multiplication, you got to put yourself in a place of submission. Hallelujah. I don't need to preach anymore. The message already gone, but I just feel to say that to someone. True submission, don't wait. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Pray as long as you want to pray. Those that are registered for the meals, they have the food prepared. You can start heading that way to the gymnasium. If you don't know where to go, you can go right around the front of the church. Keep walking to the right. You're going to find it. Follow your nose. Thank you, Jesus. Let God do a work. Let God do the work.
