If you're a guest, I understand this is different, but we're in a house of prayer tonight. Our prayer rooms are too small to facilitate our prayer meetings. So, we're here in this room tonight. This is prayer room. If you're not going to pray, you can step out. But I need you right now in one mind and one accord. And with the desperation of a mother, come on. That needs to feed their children but has no money. Like a father that has no job but needs employment. Like a people that are desperate. Would you link together and with one mind and one accord and one prayer? And the prayer is this. Pour out your spirit across this sanctuary from the balcony to the front to the back, side to side. Pour out your spirit, God. Pour out your spirit, God.
Above all things, we desire you, oh God. We are the sacrifice, but let your spirit, Father, consume that reasonable sacrifice, holy and acceptable. Pour it out, oh God. Uh pour it out, oh God, across this house. Pour out your spirit, Lord, upon all flesh. Uh pour it out, oh God. Pour it out. We need the reign of the Holy Ghost. Uh we need an outpouring, Lord, of your spirit above everything else, Lord. We've come not to hear the songs that we would sing to one another, but a song of sacrifice. Lord, we're here uh we're here to touch you, Jesus. Uh that our sacrifice, Lord, meet heaven in our petition, our request is that your favor, Father, would demonstrate itself with your presence in our midst, oh God, become Hallelujah. Come on, that's it. Lift your voice above the music. Lift your voice above your neighbor. And there's a petition that echoes across every every chamber of heaven. Let heaven hear each or pestilence so that we would cry. We'll cry Lord our need for you father. Hallelujah. It may not be monetary but Lord our spirits are dry. Oh our nation is thirsty. Uh oh. And we need you. We need a move of God. Uh we want a move of your spirit, oh Lord. We want you to move like a wave and wind wash across this household. Fill the empty vessels, Lord.

I don't know if the Rios family are they here. I want them to come. Cole and Lauren. Amen. We're so Harmony if they if harmony's available. She might. That'd be all right. Where's Brother Cole? Or should I say Pastor Cole? There he is. Amen. Tonight, come on up to the platform. Tonight's somewhat bittersweet for our church as we celebrate with Cole and Lauren, the Rios family. And what a beautiful family this is. And a blessing that they have been. If you could stand there. As I made mention to you on prayer last Sunday, they were elected to pastor in Grand Solene, Texas. And we are celebrating with them tonight and congratulate them as a church family. Brother Sister Rios have served Eastgate Church faithfully kid from children's ministry to cleaning to singing to anything that they were asked to do behind the scenes most of most of the times but faith God's hand on their life and he had a call on their life and as they came and said we're going to just plant ourselves here and serve this local church God said you know what I'm going to call you beyond. And that hurts for us cuz we have to say goodbye. But the mission of our church is to connect, to grow, and to go. So, we celebrate that. Eastgate's not a prison. You don't come here. You can go to heaven from other places. Now, you can't go as good. It's not. We're going in first class, but economy class gets there. But I just believe God's going to give him a first class revival. Do you believe that? Come on. Are you excited that Eastgate's expanding to Grand Salem and they're not going to go by themselves. They're going to go with us. And tonight as as our deacons and elders come, I'd like them to come and stand around. If you've served as you don't have to even be a deacon currently, but if you've ever served as a deacon, I want you to come, our elders and deacons to come and lay their hands on them. I'd like Michelle to come. Amen. And pray. What a blessing it is. Amen. That we can send me young couples like this to the field. And we're going to believe that God is going to pour out his spirit in Grand Salem and do tremendous things. We're going to pray. We love Gran Seline, but we love the Rio's family. And we're going to pray for them. Amen. We're going to keep them in our prayers consistently. They're going to be on that screen every week and we're going to make a commitment. So, if you would as a church family, extend your hands. Why don't we lift our voices and give this family a wonderful gift? One that is a pledge and a promise, a vow that we go with them in prayer. And today, Father, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah.
One more time, why don't we thank the Lord with an applause for Pastor and Sister Rios, his beautiful family. We're so thankful, aren't we? And blessed. What a blessed people we are. Amen. That our children are being raised in whatever capacity God calls. And of course, we want to keep the Emanuel family uh in prayer. What a challenge. Amen. Grandbaby moving away. We understand the challenge and we're going to we're going to be here for you, brother Tim. Sister Lisa, we love you guys. Thank you for being willing to sacrifice what you love the most for the greatest cause of all. And so we salute you and your sacrifice. Why don't we do that? We thank you raising children that love God, serve God. There's no greater joy. I know it's tears streaming down our face, but inside there's no greater joy. Come on. We're not going to go visit them in Grand Solene in a prison. We're going to go visit them in a church because they're advancing. Come on, moms and dads. Whatever it cost, that's what we're raising our kids to be. I said THAT'S WHAT WE'RE RAISING OUR KIDS TO BE. CHILDREN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. PEOPLE THAT ADVANCE LIGHT into the darkness. Somebody shout yes. >> Yes. I >> think I've told you this before. You know that serpent was talking to Eve. That means he he had a voice box and he could talk, but he was cursed to slither. Not only did he slither, he could no longer speak cuz snakes don't have voice boxes. A serpent can't shout. Silence is satanic. >> Come on, somebody. At some point, you come on. You have to open your mouth. And you may pass it off as a personality. It's not personality. It's spiritual. Doesn't bother you. The volume at the rock concert doesn't bother hundreds of thousands. But yet, you feel weird when it gets a little loud because it's spiritual. So, what you've got to do is lay your hands on your voice box. Come on, YOU NEED TO DO IT RIGHT NOW. You need to lay your hands on what Satan does not possess. Satan does not possess THE ABILITY TO SHOUT IT TO THE LORD WITH A VOICE OF TRIUMPH, TO LIFT UP HIS VOICE AND SAY, "YAY." SO, I RELEASE YOUR VOICE. I RELEASE THE VOCAL CORDS OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD CUZ THROUGH YOUR MOUTH, THE MIRACLE IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SO, ONE, TWO, THREE. UH, ON THE COUNT OF THREE, UH, WE'RE going to lift up our voice. Uh, and we're GOING TO SHOUT UNTO GOD. UH, TAKE YOUR NEIGHBOR BY the hand. Uh, take them by the hand. Praise team, get with somebody. Everybody's connected across the house. And on the count of three, we're going to let a shout and it's going to begin to rattle the gates of hell. Do you believe that? Come on. If this is making you nervous, you ought to Oh my. Can you imagine who's nervous right now? The devil. He's trembling. They're locking things down right now. BUTTON DOWN. BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES.

And if you haven't done so already, please fill out a connect card. That way we can get you a information packet and and let you be connected to all the great things going on here at Eastgate Church. Amen. And so we welcome our first time guest. And why don't we put our hands together as our ushers are coming as we prepare to give. If you don't mind standing back up for me. I know we just sat down, but we like to bring our offering up to the front. That way we know everybody gets served. And so we're so honored. Amen. Hey, being a full church is a good problem. Amen. And the missionaries get to go across the great seas. this opportunity, God, to be in your presence once again. I pray let us never take it for granted, Lord. And I pray over this offering that you would bless it, God, that you would multiply it, that you would send it exactly where it needs to go for the furthering of your kingdom. And God, we do all these things tonight in your name. And everybody said, "In Jesus name." Amen. If you if you can right now, you can bring your offering to the front. Find somebody. Connect with them. Let let them know how much you love them tonight. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Amen. You can make your way back to your seats. We do have a few highlights that we want to go over with you before we get any further into the service. So, how many know you're part of the greatest thing going on in all the world? Amen. Come on. I said, how many of you know that you're part of the greatest thing going on in all the world? I didn't say just in Orange County and fighter, but in all the world. I'm so thankful to go to this great church and we have a lot of great things going on here. And so don't forget our baby dedication Sunday is coming up March the 29th. And so if you do have a child that you want to have dedicated on March 29th. This is uh specifically for our Eastgate members. There are two classes that we ask the parents to attend prior to the 29th service and they will be held on Wednesday, March the 4th and March the 11th. So, please make sure that you get your child registered on Church Center and the deadline for this is March the 3rd. Somebody say March the 3rd. March. >> Amen. We got a lot of babies around here so we want to make sure everybody knows. Amen. And then last but not least, we want to welcome our altar workers. if you desire to be used and and and be the hands and the feet alter working training. And so somebody say altar working training. Amen. I'm excited about that. So we ask you so if you currently are working the altars or you desire to be used in that, we ask you to attend March the 9th. We will have an altar working training session. That's going to be a great time in the Holy Ghost. Amen. And I'm so excited and I I'm also excited that just as pastor said it, we connect we believe in connecting people to God. Amen. We believe in growing in his grace and then we also believe in going. And so tonight we celebrate the connections that have been made. And I know I'm at Eastgate Church on a Sunday night and we get excited about the connections that have been made to the kingdom of God. Amen. Come on. Why don't you celebrate? Why don't we stand to our feet right now? Come on. Cuz we're going to celebrate like it was our child. LIKE LIKE IF IT WAS OUR LOST LOVED ONE. AMEN. WE CELEBRATE THOSE UH WE MIGHT NOT KNOW THE NAME BUT WE CAN CALL IT OUT BEFORE HEAVEN AND WE CAN GET EXCITED FOR WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN THEIR LIFE. And this week we celebrate with Lincoln Chandler. Oh that was filled WITH THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST speaking in a heavenly language. AND WE CELEBRATE WITH ROB MARTIN. OH THAT WAS FILLED WITH THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. AND IT BRINGS NINE PEOPLE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND 17 PEOPLE FILLED WITH THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST IN EACH. THAT'S SOMETHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT. AND I BELIEVE THAT TONIGHT GOD IS GOING TO NOT LET US LEAVE HERE WITHOUT AN EXAMPLE OF THIS HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN. And if you believe that, why don't you put your hands together as this great choir begins to sing? Come on. How many of you know that our God IS GREAT? COME ON. Y'ALL KNOW THIS first part. I want you all to sing. I want you all to sing with me. Okay. Y'all ready? >> Then sings my soul, my God to thee. How great thou art. Come on, sing it. How great. There you go. One more time.

Put a shout, a great shout for a great God. This choir is going to sing. We're going to worship God after they sing. We're so honored to have Brother Copelan with us. Brother Copeland preached incredible. He's made a great connection with our church. He's a Vidorian. Last time he was with us, God ministered so powerfully and started shaping and changing the way we think about giving and since then. There's so many that have come to me. They're been impacted by his ministry. And I'm so thankful. It's not only a man's uh voice and the words he speaks, but it's the spirit of a man. And so, we want our spirits to be intertwined with his. And tonight, I know God has spoken to him. And I don't know about you, but I'm ready to hear it. Amen. Why don't we worship with this choir and then hear from God tonight? Come on. ISN'T OUR GOD A GREAT GOD? AMEN. We worship you, Jesus. We come to this place TONIGHT TO DECLARE HOW GREAT OUR GOD IS. AMEN. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT UP HERE. all over the world. HALLELUJAH. I know you SEE my soul. Heat. HEAT. YEAH. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT. HEAT.

My my my my anointing of the Holy Ghost that's in this place. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Now, I'm in a I'm in a precarious situation here cuz I know I know how to push this thing just a little bit and make it blow up. I can do that. But I don't know when I'm going to be back. And I got some stuff I want to say to you. So, I'll let y'all do that next Sunday. How about it? I will not be long. I know. I know how it is. I promise you. And uh but man, I've got a I got a burden on my heart to say some things to this church before I get out of here. I don't want to I I don't want to waste my trip. And so I'm going to I'm going to go to the word just for a few moments and I will be careful. I will be careful. East Gate, you um I I don't know of a church anywhere with greater potential. I do not know of a church with greater potential than this church. I do want to uh mind my manners and say thank you for the room. Thank you for the meal today. Thank you for the uh snack basket that was in the room. Uh so wellappointed. I just look I just preached for uh brother Ian in North Carolina and they put a they put a comb and hairspray in my basket. So, thank you for whoever fixed the bag. Thank you for not putting including a comb and hairspray. Thank you so much. I want to go to Romans chapter 8 verse 6. Romans the 8th chapter and the sixth verse. And um man, I'm I feel the Holy Ghost in this place tonight. God have mercy. Y'all's worship team is just phenomenal. They do so good. And Lewis is just outstanding. He He came with his dad to our youth conference and blew that youth conference up. It was absolutely tremendous. Brother Tuttle, you have such a beautiful, wonderful family. Uh this church is blessed that you're here pastoring them and uh you're blessed to pastor a great church, great cong congregation. Romans chapter 8 verse 6 says, "For to be carnally minded is death, >> but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Life and peace. Psalms 1:es 2-3. And I'll let you be seated. But his delight is in the law of the Lord. And in his law does he meditate day and night. I want to preach to you for just a few minutes from this subject. You've got to open your mouth and say it. You've got to open your mouth >> and say it. God bless you. You can be seated. Would you lift your hands and just ask the Holy Ghost to speak? Jesus. Dear Lord, I'm asking you to just speak to our hearts and our minds, our spirits, our thought processes. God, help me somehow to talk, to convey, to speak to this congregation tonight in the precious, precious name of Jesus. I have nothing to offer them. my my own accord, God, but if somehow you could speak through me in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah.
Now, I gave them a bunch of scripture and I don't know how much I'm going to get to. I'm I'm not I don't know what I'm going to get to. I've just got a I just got several things I want to say to you. Not that I think I I have a bunch of answers. I don't want to come off like that. But yet at the same time, after 35 years of being in the ministry and almost 30 pastoring, you do come up with some things. >> And um one of the things that I I want to ask you in the very infancy uh of this tonight is what what is your motivation for living for God? What what motivates you? >> What is the motiv? >> There are so many motivators. I I I did I didn't realize that till I started pastoring. I thought everybody was at church for the same reason, >> right? >> And I found out that every one of them were were motivated by different motivations. And When I realized that, I started understanding why some people don't make it. Now, I want to tell you, it doesn't matter what your original motivation is for coming. >> That's right. God God will allow anything to bring you to the church, >> but really what motivates you to the church is not the same thing that's going to keep you in the long haul. >> People here that uh I'm their pastor and I'm thankful that they drove over to hear me tonight. God bless the Tories and then my niece Summer and Tinsley somewhere in the crowd. I don't know where you are, but yeah, I just saw Tinsley. Love y'all. Glad you're here tonight. I uh people people get in the church because they want to date someone that's in the church. >> People get in the church because they want to they want position. They want to sing in the choir. They want to teach a Sunday school class. People are in the church for all kind of reasons. One of the number one motivating factors of why people get in the church, listen, is just simply because they don't want to go to hell. >> And I when I hated the song and everywhere I went, they sang it. And I never said anything cuz it wasn't my business. You don't cl you don't complain about the food at someone else's table. >> But they would sing this song. The reason I'm in this church is I don't want to be lost. >> And I would stand there and think that's not the reason >> for people to be in the church. >> That might be the beginning reason. That might be what brought you But if you're going to be saved somewhere, the gears are going to have to shift. >> And you're going to have to reach the point that if there wasn't a heaven >> and there wasn't a hell, >> you would still be in the church >> and you would still be worshiping God because you're not here except that you have fallen in love with Jesus Christ. And when you fall in love with him and you want him worse than anything on the face of this earth, >> then everything everything then changes >> that that listen to me that literally changes everything. It changes the way you dress, the way you live, the way you walk, the way you talk. Everything shifts when you just fall in love with God. >> And Lucifer loves to feed us the wrong questions. >> Now, I'm going to get to my subject, but I just feel like I need to say this. Lucifer loves to feed us the wrong questions. Many, many times wrong, there is no good answer. Yeah. >> And Lucifer get he'll talk you into doing things that he's too scared to do. >> He's too fearful to question God. So he'll get you to >> Yeah. >> Hath God said? >> And he's scared to confront God, but he'll get you to confront God. And one of the most dangerous questions in Pentecost is this question right here. Will this send me to hell? >> That is the most dangerous >> undermining, destructive questions. >> And people ask it as if it's intelligence. They they ask it, "Were they superior?" >> Well, is it going to cause me to be a loss? >> You, in other words, you don't have a right to preach against it. >> You don't have a right >> to take issue with it, pastor, >> if it's not a heaven or hell issue. And the truth of the matter is when you get to that point, nothing is a heaven or hell issue >> when you get to that point >> because, and this is after almost 30 years of pastoring, people do not go to hell because they sin. >> They sin because they've chosen the road to hell. People do not go to hell because they sin. They sin because they've chosen to be sinners. >> And that takes you to hell. >> And so so the the wrong questions are being asked. It's It's kind of like me walking into the walking up to the back door of my house and I've been outside where the grass is freshly moan or whatever and my wife says, "Don't come in the house without removing your shoes. I just swept and mocked." And my question is, "Well, if I do, are you going to divorce me? Why are you laughing about that? That's the same question is, will that send me to hell? >> That's the exact same question. >> Well, will it cause me to be lost? >> Well, first of all, she's going to look at me like an idiot because that does not fit the context of our relationship. Unless our relationship is already in bad trouble. >> And when you ask the question, will this send me to hell? You're just you're not revealing that you're wiser or smarter or know more about the Bible or you have superior up upper hand. What you're revealing is is your relationship with God is already on the rocks. you're revealing a broken relationship because that's the only context that question fits. >> Because when she >> Well, no, I'm not going to divorce you if you come in with your shoes on. Then I say, "Well, then I'm coming in with my shoes on because I don't care how you feel. >> All right. All right. >> It don't matter if it upsets you. I just don't want to be divorced. I don't care if it makes you mad, hurts your feelings, bothers you. >> And so when you ask that question, what you're telling God is, I don't care how you feel about it. >> It doesn't matter if it upsets you, hurts your feelings. It doesn't matter if it makes you jealous because I like worldly things. >> It doesn't matter to me that you're jealous because I like the world better than I like you. I just don't want to go to hell. I just don't want my tail to burn. So good. >> Our problem in Pentecost is not that we don't have the answers. It's that we're not asking the right questions. >> So what mo motivates you? What makes you want to be in church? What motivates you? >> There's a there's a thing that I've been uh studying and deeply studying called frequency. And frequency is that that thing that everything created by God has. When God created everything on earth, he gave it frequency. >> And they used to believe that rocks and inanimate objects and things like that did not have frequency. And what they found is that they do. Over time, they found that they can actually lock in and find the frequency of a stone or a mountain or a rock or a planet or anything else. It used to be that they didn't think if it if it had life, it did not have frequency. And frequency is that thing that when you walk into a room behind someone, really what it is is it's it's frequency. and they've been studying the effect of frequency on the DNA. And so they suspend DNA in liquid and then they send different types of frequency to that DNA and some heals the DNA and some makes the DNA shrink. Two people arguing has the worst effect on the DNA of anything else. >> The worst effect on the DNA is two people disagreeing. They set two people up to argue in front of the DNA and it goes into a fetal position and starts to shrink as if it's dying. >> Can you imagine the effect of two people arguing on a child? >> The thing that affected the frequent the thing that affected DNA and this is not religious people doing the study. This is scientists. The thing that affected the DNA most positively was someone reading scripture to it. >> Wow. >> And so DNA is a po is is a powerful or frequency is a powerful thing. And when you understand that stones have frequency, it gives a whole new meaning to so much scripture such as if you don't want to praise me, if you don't want to worship me, the rocks will cry out. And well, all all of that said that the they also use frequency. They take uh paper like such as a snare drum and they put paste on top of the snare and then they they have people sing and they play music and and they on that drum as it vibrates under the effect of frequency to move into different patterns and different shapes. And under classical music, flowers begin to appear in the paste. And under rock music, it becomes distorted. It's a distorted abstract almost like a painting. And so each sound has has a different different frequency. What that means is hell has a frequency and heaven has a frequency >> and tongues has a frequency. >> Now if if heaven has a frequency and hell has a frequency you this world you got two competing kingdoms. the kingdom of this world and king and they're going to they're going to clash in Armageddon. >> And the closer you get to the world, it's like a magnet. The more you're drawn toward it and the more you want to please what you're closest to because you're under the effect of the field of the frequency. >> So when you struggle with separation, >> it's relation. It's a relationship issue. >> Yeah. >> You're you're developing a relationship with the opposing kingdom. >> And the closer you get to God, the closer you get to God in the church, >> the more the things of the world melt off of you. And it don't have to be a heaven or hell issue or a choice. It just naturally fades as you get under the frequency and the pull. So whether things are sin or right or wrong or are is not the issue. That's not the argument. All you're revealing is your place. >> You're just identifying where you are and what you're closest to and what a frequency is affecting you. And we all have a frequency of our voice. >> Now, I'm going to get into this. It's 5:53. And I promise you, it will not take long. Romans 8:6. This be carnally minded is death. Now, is it is it doubt? And this all goes back to frequency, but I need to ask this question. Is it doubt if you don't speak it? Is it doubt if you don't express it? Now, I feel like this is very important. This is what I want to leave this church with, and it's going to pick up from here if you'll help me. I hope I didn't kill it with the >> with the things I've said up till now. Now, you're you're going to want to say yes, but I believe it makes a big difference. And I believe it's where a lot of our condemnation comes from. >> I'm going to help you. I feel like I'm going to help you right now with condemning thoughts. >> Is it doubt if you don't say anything? If you don't express what comes into your mind, are you doubting? Now, I think I I I believe and and this is I think this is vital that there's a big difference between your mind and your heart. >> And I'm not talking about that blood pumper. >> I'm talking about what makes you you. The heart is the seed of all that you are. >> It's what makes you you. >> It's what you become. What you bring into your heart is your attitude, your spirit. And what you ultimately become over time is what you've allowed into your heart. >> That's why 20 years from now, you'll be a complete different person than you are now. And it's all going to be because of the things, the thoughts, the what I >> I understand. I don't want to get in trouble and I'm not setting standards for this church. That's what this pastor does. But I just got to say this, right? Hollywood's not wrong necessarily because it's a sin. >> It's wrong because of what it turns you into. >> See, again, we've been asking all the wrong questions. What are you going to become over time if you consume that? What's it what's that going to turn you into if you think on that? >> Is it making it easier for you to be in the church or harder? >> Is it making you easy it easier for you to worship or harder to worship? The United States of America went from a nation that was completely 100% against homosexuality 50 years ago to a nation that almost wholeheartedly accepts it. And there's one thing that caused that and that's television and Hollywood. >> Take that out of the equation and we would still years ago. So the the question is not whether it's a sin or not or whether it's going to send you to hell. It's what is it turning you into? >> What are you becoming? >> Now I think this is important. The difference between the mind and the heart because of this listen to me. Anyone anyone and anything has the authority and the power and the ability to put anything they want to in your mind. You're riding down the road and see a billboard >> and something went into your mind. >> You're listening to stuff on the radio and something went into your mind. You're >> it comes into your mind. I do not believe that you're judged by what's in your mind because you don't have control of your mind. >> The devil can speak into your mind. The backslid saint that hates the church can speak into your mind. >> People at the next table in a restaurant can speak into your mind. Anything you overhear. So the mind is like this big warehouse. It's like this big clearing house that anybody can back their truck up and just dump things into your mind. >> Okay. But the heart is the inner sanctum. >> Right? >> Here's the deal. What you're judged on is what you choose to go in that warehouse and pick out and bring into your heart and think on and meditate on and ruminate. So you're not judged on your mind. You're judged on what you get out of that warehouse and bring in your heart. So, what I've got to do and what you've got to often is clear out that warehouse. I got two jobs. Number one is say, "You better dump that in my warehouse, but that's not going in my heart. I'm not thinking on that. I'm not meditating on that. And furthermore, I will wash and clean this warehouse out." And that's why the Bible says you got to have washing and renewing and regeneration of the mind. Now, here's where I'm going. And I'm watching the clock, but what what what are you keeping? What what thoughts are you thinking on? >> I don't believe we're guilty when doubt comes temporarily into our mind. We're all human and I do not think that we're judged and we're guilty when a doubtful thought hits our mind. My question is, do you go home and lay in your bed at night and think on that doubt or do you immediately say, "That's not my thought. >> That's not my thought." That's right. >> You see, for years, I've had men that I pastor struggle uh with with and man, I I went to the church uh several years ago, and there was a guy, a good guy in my church in the altar just weeping and crying and all upset. And what's wrong, brother? And he said, "Pastor, I I just passed a woman mowing in a bikini." I said, "Well, maybe she was sunbathing and all of a sudden decided the grass needed to be mowed." I don't know. Well, that but that's not my problem, pastor. My problem is I saw her. I said, "You can't help that." >> Really? That's her fault. That's not fault. But the problem that I want to ask you >> is are you thinking on that or are you washing it? >> Are you washing it all out of your mind or are you trying to figure out how to circle the block and go back there? >> Because if you want to go back and take another look, you've pulled that into your heart. All right. >> But if you glanced and realized this is wrong, I don't want this in my mind. The first chance I get, I'm going to wash the warehouse of my mind. >> But I'm not bringing that into the inner sanctum and trying to figure out how I can get her phone number. You see, the Bible don't say if a man looks upon a woman to lust after in his mind. He says he looks upon her to lust after in his heart. house, but you can't bring it into your heart. >> And so with with that in mind, is it doubt just because you think it? Is it that doubt until you speak it? And here's the answer. If it's yes in the in the in the negative, then it's yes in the positive, >> right? Can you bapt some baptize someone in Jesus name and just think it? >> If we have a mute in the church, are we going to let them do the baptizing? >> No. Because there's no power and there's no authority >> until you open your mouth. You see, >> be seated. Y'all going to get ahead of me. >> Y'all ready? >> Me, too. But I got a few more things I want to say before I turn you loose. >> Can you speak in tongues in your mind? >> No. All the power is in the speaking. And that's why the Bible does not say out of the abundance of the mind. >> It says out of the abundance of the heart. >> Your heart literally has the power to disagree with your mind. >> And it's not lying when you do. >> That's right. That's the number one problem that I see Christians have is they think they're lying when their heart disagrees with their mind. >> Preach it. >> No, no, you got you got to get a hold of what I'm saying. You're missing it. >> They think it's lying. >> When their heart disagrees with their mind, but what they don't understand is their heart is motivated by God. and their mind is motivated by the flesh. >> That's why you have an obligation TO SPEAK OF THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY ALREADY ARE. YOU GOT TO SPEAK OF THINGS AS GOD SEES IT INSTEAD OF HOW YOUR MIND SEES IT. YOU GOT TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SAY IT. AND IT'S NOT LYING BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE IT THAT WAY WITH YOUR CARNAL EYES. YOU GOT TO HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO BELIEVE GOD SPOKE TO ME. AND I'M NOT LYING WHEN I SPEAK WHAT MY CARNAL MIND CAN'T COMPREHEND. BECAUSE THE MIND AND THE HEART ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. Be seated. >> I got to take you back to Samaria where the king of Samaria, the prophet came to him and said, "Let me tell you something. By this time tomorrow and prophesied about how the famine was going to be over and there was going to be a plenty of food for everybody to eat." >> Yeah. Yeah. And the man on whom the king leaned >> opened his mouth >> and said, "Could this thing happen? If the Lord opened the windows of heaven, could this thing be?" And the prophet said, "You'll see it, but you will not protest." Let me tell you something. I want you to get a hold of this right now. If he'd have kept his mouth shut, he could have thought it and still ate. >> He could have THOUGHT IT AND STILL PTOOK. HIS PROBLEM WASN'T WHAT HE THOUGHT. HIS PROBLEM WAS HE LET IT GET IN HIS HEART AND HE OPENED HIS MOUTH AND OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF HIS HEART, HIS MOUTH SPOKE. IF WE CAN JUST KEEP OUR MOUTH SHUT WHEN IT OUGHT TO BE SHUT AND OPEN IT WHEN IT OUGHT TO BE OPEN. >> You say, "Well, how in the world do I do that?" And I'm getting close to being finished. How in the world do I do that? >> You understand the difference between your mind and your heart. Yeah, >> you've got to recognize the difference >> between your mind and your heart. When your mind says, "I am weak." Your mouth open and say, "I am strong." THAT'S NOT LYING. THAT'S SAYING, "MY HEART DOES NOT AGREE WITH CARNALITY." GOD SPOKE TO MY HEART SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN MY CARNAL MIND'S TRYING TO TELL ME. STAND TOGETHER AND LIFT YOUR hands right now. The Holy Ghost is about to do something in this place. Come on, somebody. Come on, somebody. I got people under my sound of my voice. You've been under all kind of condemnation. Come on, somebody. Lift your hand. Reach out. I WANT TO CONVINCE YOU IT'S NOT DOUBT UNTIL YOU SPEAK. I WANT TO CONVINCE YOU IT'S NOT DOUBT. IT HAS NO EFFECT. >> NOW, here's the reason why. Are you listening to me? And it goes right back to what your pastor said. I thought your pastor was going to preach my message before I even had a chance to get up here. >> But I kept a good spirit, though. Listen, the reason it has no power until you speak it is because it does not have frequency until you speak it. >> Yes, >> sir. >> Because frequency is sound. It's just outside the range of the human ear. Frequency is an electrical current that carries sound. >> And it has no frequency until you open your mouth. >> As long as you're in your thought, it's still in the incubator. It has no life. >> Life and death are in the power of the tongue. >> It's not doubt until you express it. >> That's right. It has no power on the negative side or the positive side until you open your mouth and say it. And that is why when things go on in your life and your burden listen what I'm saying right now is so important. Musicians, come on. I'm I'm done. It's so important. It's so important when you think all these negative thoughts that you get to an altar somewhere and wash your mind before you are coerced >> to give voice to that doubt.
If you're upset about something, just don't say it. If you're discouraged, just don't speak it. If you're angry, BE QUIET because it empowers it. It gives frequency to it.
You are literally prophesying your tomorrow by what you say. You're prophesying tomorrow by what you what you're speaking today prophesies your tomorrow. Oh yeah. And it starts shaping how your life's going to look.
That's why I tell our people and I I I I don't want to get into this, but you're you're you're about to build a building, so I feel like I need to say some things right now that you know the the power of what you're going to make this year is much in how you're talking. Yeah.
If you're talking about bad economy and you're talking about bad stuff and you're talking about negative things and reversals and all that, then that's what you're going to have. You say, "Well, that's just what I see." Yeah, that's your carnal mind. That's your carnal mind. But what does your heart want to do? I'm going right back to that. What motivates you? What is your heart telling you? Well, my heart's telling me I'd like to give $10,000 to the church. Then open your mouth and say it. THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO START SPEAKING.
Then you need to speak. Well, brother Copelan, I'm just afraid it'd be lying. No, it's not. It's your heart disagreeing. It's the heart and your will and your desire and what motivates you arguing with what your carnal mind wants to do. Man, I I I don't have time to teach all this and get into all this, but do you know what your flesh wants to do? It wants to destroy you. That's why you want to eat blue bell instead of greens. That's right. Because your body wants to Your mind is part of your body. It wants to destroy you. Your mind ain't going to heaven. Did you know that? When you die, they're going to bury you with your brain. You're going to take your heart to glory, not your It doesn't want you to succeed. It doesn't want you to make it. So, you got to quit feeling like because you disagree with your mind THAT YOU'RE LYING. YOU'RE NOT LYING. YOU'RE HAVING A DISAGREEMENT WITH what destroys you.
Your mind says you're going to be in a wheelchair. Your heart says I'm going to walk. Your mind SAYS THIS SICKNESS MAY KILL ME. YOUR HEART SAYS I'M GOING TO LIVE. AND SEE THE SALVATION OF GOD. THAT'S NOT LYING.
This is why Jesus wept when he went to the tomb of Lazarus. That's right. When he went to the tomb of Lazarus and he said, "Lazarus is not dead. He's sleeping." That's right. Was Jesus lying? Come on. His heart hadn't beaten four days. He had a bit of breath in 4 days. Was Jesus lying when HE SAYS HE IS NOT DEAD?
And his sister could have just thought it, but she didn't. She had to open her mouth. "By this time, he stinkketh." And Jesus started crying because he understood the authority and the power of what she was doing. Man, I'm telling you, there's some people in this place, you need to open your mouth and speak. You You You know what you do? You have a heart. You have a heart to be a part of building this new church. You have a heart to give big toward this new building. in your heart. You know, people preach people preach about giving and you lean over and tell your wife or tell your husband, "We need to go home and think about this. We need to think." No, you don't because your carnal mind's going to destroy you. What you need to do is step out in that aisle while you're You know what people need to do? They need to listen to learn to listen to the nudge. If God can nudge you to give a certain amount, he can supply the means. BUT SOMEBODY'S GOT TO HAVE THE FAITH TO STEP OUT IN THAT AND LIFT THEIR VOICE AND SAY, "I'M GIVING A HUNDRED THOUSAND THIS YEAR TO BUILD THAT NEW BUILDING." YOU GOT TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SAY IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR MIND THINKS. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR MIND THINKS. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GOT? OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART, THE MOUTH SPEAK UP. WHEN YOUR MIND SAYS, "I AM WEAK," YOU LIFT YOUR VOICE AND SAY, "I AM STRONG."
Now, here's how we're going to here's how we're going to close this deal. Because some of you, man, you're like a you're like a horse at the races. You're ready. You're ready to go. You just want me to tell you what to do. And you need to forget everybody around you except your spouse or your family members. And you need to lift your hands right now. And the Holy Ghost is going to begin to nudge your heart. And here's what it's going to be toward. It's going to be toward building that new building. God's going to talk to you.
Listen, people that are people that are kingdom builders, they're not worried about what the standards of a church are. My My God, I just had a I just had a nudge at the Holy Ghost. Hang on, put that on pause just a second. I I I won't be but just a second saying this. But why do we treat the church so differently than we do any everything else? Why do people want to go to a church that don't have standards? Do you eat in restaurants that don't have standards? Is that what you want to do? I'd like to go to a restaurant that just don't have I mean, no washing hands before they cook the food, no cleaning the bathroom. I'd like to find me a restaurant just don't have any standards of cleanliness whatsoever and eat there. I just Well, I got to go in the hospital. Do you think you could buy one that don't have any standards?
WITH EVERYTHING IN LIFE, YOU WANT STANDARDS except when it comes to the most precious thing you have, and that's your soul that's going to live for eternity. And then you don't want any regulation. You know what? Kingdom builders are not like that. Kingdom builders want on board. They They want to build something that's going to last. They want to build something that has foundation. And it's time provider to build this tabernacle that's going to testify to Southeast Texas that this one God Jesus name apostolic truth is marching on. And that no OTHER RELIGION AND NO OTHER GOD CAN perform like this God.
My my my I want you to lift your hands right now. God's going to God's going to nudge you because you want to give. You want to be a big giver. You want to be a big part. You want to look at that building and say, "Me and my family gave toward that." And listen to me. When God nudges you, I don't care how far out. I don't care how crazy. I don't care how out of the realm you think it is. You need to open your mouth into the top of your lungs. Speak that thing into existence. Speak it into existence AND SEE IF GOD WILL SUPPLY. Come on, lift your hands and reach out right now. Come on. Come on.
