Pastor West: [00:00:00] Our service. We are excited about what Jesus is doing here and around the earth. I'm gone try that one more time. We are excited about what Jesus is doing here and around the earth. Amen. Amen. Okay, I'm going to put you on my side. See how you like it. Amen. I was instructed to go back. We are for those who are watching from different places. September 21st and second. Did I get that right? First. Second? Yeah. We're going to be having special meetings with Wayne Goss and Gwenda. They're from from Wales. And we want you to we want to invite you to come to these meetings on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Sunday night there'll be people here with us and other ministers and pastors will be here, and it's going to be a great time. It's called it's called the called the Glory Conference. And that's exactly what's going to happen. We're going to experience the glory of God. Amen. It's going to be it's just going to be absolutely amazing. And I just want you to to know about the meetings. If there's any way that you can to get here. Do so in connection with that for the people here mostly locally I'm going to be ministering a little bit what I ministered because I was instructed to do this from February the 7th, 2024, February of this year. And I remember that was on a Wednesday. Do you remember what I preached on Wednesday, February 7th? All right.
Pastor West: [00:01:29] No you don't. Anyway, I wouldn't have either. So I gave it a title. I think we called it No More Confinement. And this is what is happening right now. But I'm actually I'm going to I'm going to be coming out of Isaiah 40 in the amplified classic to start off with. And I'm going to be in verse one through verse five. So if you don't have an amplified classic, you might want to just listen up real good. Y'all ready? Oh, it's gonna be good. Comfort, comfort. Cracker barrel, cracker barrel. No comfort. Comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to the heart of Jerusalem. Cry to her that her time of silence and her warfare are ended. That her punishment is accepted and her iniquity is pardoned, and that she has received punishment from the Lord's hand double for all her sins. A voice of one who cries, prepare in the wilderness a way of the Lord. Listen to this. Clear away the obstacles. Make straight and smooth in the desert a highway for our God. Clear away the obstacles. You know sometimes we can get obstacles. I know y'all never have. But you probably know someone who did. Who got. You know, covered up with situations and obstacles and physical obstacles, mental obstacles, distractions. That would be another word. Y'all know what distractions are. You know that thing that your brother in law had at one time? Not you.
Pastor West: [00:03:07] But. But it says right here. Clear away your obstacles. Why? Because we want to make straight. He says, and smooth in the desert. God wants a highway. A highway for our God. God is laying out a highway. Y'all here? Amen. Now, here's the next promise. Verse four. Every valley shall be lifted and filled up. And every mountain and hill shall be made low. And the crooked and the uneven shall be made straight and level. And the rough places a plain. Now God's laying out a highway. And he's a really good engineer. Yeah. I mean, you have to have an engineer's involved before you put out a highway or an interstate system. Right. So he tells you he said the the places. He said every, every valley. The really low places. I'm going to lift them up and I'm going to fill them up. You ready to get lifted up and filled up And every mountain and hill shall be made low. You ain't got any mountains in your life screaming at you sometimes. What you going to do about me? What you going to do about me? What you going to do about me? Yeah. He said, well, those mountains and hill places are going to be made really low. And the crooked and uneven places, he. Some make them straight, and I'm going to level the rough places. I'm going to make the rough places in your life a plain. Amen. Now then it says in verse five, now after God does this and he goes and orchestrates what he just said, and now that there's a highway laid out and you're cleared away the obstacles, and he got rid of the crooked places and the uneven places.
Pastor West: [00:04:37] Then he made he took all the rough places and made them a plain. Then he says, and now the glory, the majesty and splendor of the Lord shall now be revealed. Amen. Amen. Amen. Called to glory. Called to glory. Right. And the glory, Majesty, splendor of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. So February the 4th, two 428 I won't go through the numbers again. What that means. The Lord spoke to me back there in the back room. Sometimes he does that for some reason. In that room I might just move my bed in there, I don't know, just make my bedroom. And it happened today too. I won't get into that. But. So after the Lord spoke to me about what was coming and told me, told me to. Well, he said he said he said put prayer back in place. He said, get the facility ready. He said, prayer. Prayer has to be in place or it will never happen. Amen. He said in the facility is not ready for what I'm what I'm going to do. He says, make room for me. Make room for my presence, he said.
Pastor West: [00:05:55] He said, if you will make a room for me, I will come and I will manifest myself in this place. He said that on February the 4th to me on a pre-service prayer of this year. And then we we began to pray right away and and still are. We meet together, but we're also praying when we're not together. Right. Amen. Amen. April the 28th of this year. The remodeling was complete by the grace of God. Amen. So God spoke on February the 4th and said, get the building ready and put prayer back in the place that has to be in. So on February the 4th, we took those words. I took them before you because he spoke to me. I took I took the word Lord before you. You heard the word of the Lord. And you acted upon those words, trusting in him. And in 84 days, which is 12 and then. Okay. And then we got government and order and. Okay. And then I'm trying to stop that. Not that it's bad, but just, you know, I could go. You could go on forever thinking like the Lord has dotted every I and cross every t, and and the numbers do this and the verse and the book and the month and the date in February, the second month of the year spoke on the fourth and four and two, six and 2024 is eight. Then you add all that up and it's just a new beginning and a brand new order, and things are about to.
Pastor West: [00:07:26] Whoa! Amen. So I believe we we did what the Lord asked us on the 28th. Two and eight and ten. Oh stop it, Eric! Stop that! The remodel is complete. He said make room for him. If you'll make a room for me. I will come and feel and manifest myself in this place. We talked about a sanctuary, but the very next thing after the Lord spoke to me about that is what I ministered on that Wednesday night. And and this is what he said, just cover some of this this morning and we'll go forward a little bit. So on on Wednesday night, after that happened on Sunday morning, I ministered and called it No More confinement because this is what he told me. He said, this is this is what you're going to see. And a couple of weeks ago, he was talking about the next thing that you'll see is the joy. You'll see great joy break out. Then, you know, he took me to acts chapter eight. I'm trying to really stay out of those numbers again. Acts chapter eight. New beginning five, six, seven, eight, 26. The love of God. Stop it! And then Philip went to Samaria and preached the gospel. Remember he preached the gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation. That's what Paul said. Paul said the gospel is is the power people are seeking.
Pastor West: [00:08:52] Lord, send the power. He can't. He already sent it. Why would you get together and pray about Lord, send the power when he already did? And if he did send the power, how would he do it? See, we have to quit asking God to do things that he knows he's already done. Finished with. Amen. Amen. I mean, if I were to say to you, I want you all to go get dressed for church. Now, right now, you said, well, that's silly. We're already dressed. We're at church. Yeah, but, you know, you need to get ready. You said. But we're. We are ready. We do. We bathe, we shower. We put on clothes and some put on makeup and earrings. I don't have any earrings and no makeup on, but I'm just saying, some of you do, right? So you think that you're through with that, right? So if I just keep on saying that over and over and over, you say, well, I said, well, I'm, I'm going to get 2 or 3 degree with me. I'm going to get a prayer chain going that y'all will be ready and come on church. You're already here, right? I mean, this is a this is a stupid prayer where the Lord thinks that way, that he has finished himself. So now he would ask you to rest in what he's done and prepared for you. There is a labor, but the labor is to enter.
Pastor West: [00:10:06] And so when? So when we don't enter the way that we're supposed to enter in to the finished work of Jesus, we're not entering or exiting, but we're exiting to go do something when we need to stay and enter. So what is the labor? The labor is is to take the mind that says, there's a whole lot to be done here, which will put you right back into the place of works and toiling, because you're going, we're trying to accomplish something that in the mind of God is already accomplished. Now we may. We probably have an experience and we have an experience, the manifestation of some of these things. But they're already in the order of God. God has an order. He doesn't manifest himself with no order. He's not just wild. I love all that when it happens. But God is a God of order. He orders. What? Your footsteps. The plans of the Lord. If there's a plan, there's an order to it. There's steps. There's step one, step two, step three. In the order of God, we are in the place in the order of God where we are coming as a the church, a church, the church in the United States, and in the government where God is going to. God is bringing order. Amen. And when God brings his order, it puts us into rest. So we have to not be like the people in Hebrews four.
Pastor West: [00:11:39] So they they heard the word, but they wouldn't mix what they heard with faith. I mean, you have to have a mixture. You know, I you know, I don't go through the cooking analogy, but y'all get that. That's self-explanatory, right? I mean, I don't care what the ingredient is. I don't care if there are four, eight, 12, or 16 ingredients. If you just dump them in a bowl and don't mix them up, you know, it's just like making Kool-Aid or tea. You say, well, it takes a gallon jug and takes, you know, how many cups of sugar and the ingredients, you know, the tea or the Kool-Aid or whatever, right? You say, well, well, we got tea. Well, you do have tea, but if it's sweet tea, it's not going to be sweet. Why? Why is it not going to be sweet? Because we got all the ingredients there. Right there in the joke. But why is it not sweet? You didn't stir up the recipe. So what I'm trying to say in that is Paul said, don't be like these people who heard the word, but they wouldn't mix what they heard coming from me with their faith in it, which says, I believe that. See, you have a choice every time that you hear the Word of God, whether you're reading the Bible at home or in your bed or on your on your tablet or on your phone, you have you have the opportunity every time you hear the word to receive it or reject it.
Pastor West: [00:12:49] You. There is no neutral ground. You're either receiving it and growing, or you're rejecting and going backwards. Jesus doesn't have a scripture in the Bible by all 40 authors that teaches you how not to believe. He doesn't have a let's don't believe school. You can't go to the word and learn how not to believe. That's not that's not the course. It's not the objective. If if you read what Jesus said, you're a believer. And in the New covenant, in the epistles, you can't find in the new order, in the New Covenant. One time Paul or any of the of the apostles ever told you as a Christian believe. Why? Because in the New Covenant, you are the believer. It'd be just as crazy for me to call Trey and say, now, hey, how are you this morning? Fine. Good. Look, I just got this on my heart today. You need to be a man today. Don't, don't. Don't be a woman. Don't be cross. Don't be half and half. Be. Well, he think I tripped out on something. Pam, did you wake up this morning and wonder if he was going to be a woman or something, or something different? Did you ever wake up and think that? Does that ever even cross your mind? Do you even have the slightest little temptation to doubt whether you're a female or not? Because you know you are? It's settled.
Pastor West: [00:14:16] Well, the Bible said the word of God settled. He thinks. Aren't you glad he's not working this out as we go? See, the way we live life is we see things in the natural. We just think. We pray. We're trying to get God to work with us. Like it's some puzzle. We're looking for the next piece. But in his mind, he knows every little thing. Amen. Amen. You. Do you know how many breaths that you're going to take today in the next 24 hours? You don't, do you? Not really. He does. Do you supply the oxygen? No, but he does. Does he know why? There need to be trees? For different reasons. Part of it is oxygen, right? You say? Well, that's just to build a house. That too. I think he has this thing figured out. Amen. I really think he knows every little detail to it. So he said, mix your faith with what you hear when you go down that. And so it says in Hebrews, it says, the Lord finished his work and he has now ceased from his works. Other words, he has stopped working. And then he admonishes you, since I've ceased. Why don't you? Amen. It says the Lord has ceased from his own works. So why don't you? Well, how do you do that? You cease working by laboring. Yeah, you see, that's an oxymoron. Yeah, it does sound like one, doesn't it? But what is the labor to not enter into the temptation? Of works.
Pastor West: [00:15:44] Or as Dennis would like to say, not going back into the old man and going into the sin conscious that might never, never come to the place of knowing who you are in him. So you still operate out of that original Adam. Oh, when you're not in there, you're not in the first Adam. You're in the last Adam. Amen. Amen. See if you're going to be in the first Adam. You're always going to have a sin conscious mind. Or you'll have some good days, too. I mean, you'll have some. I mean, you'll live life like this. Up and down, up and down, down and up. Good days, bad days. But when you go into the last Adam, which is Christ, then you'll quit going to church because you'll be in church. Because you'll be in him. Because you are the church. So the labor is for you to die. The Best funeral you're ever going to go to is your own. Amen. You ought to. You ought to look in the spirit realm and go look in the casket and say, wow, that's a wreck. The best, most glorious funeral that you'll ever go to is yours. Where you. The Bible says, because he died, we died with him, right? So you died. So it's. Paul said, it's no longer I that live. Most Christians don't even have a clue what he's talking about.
Pastor West: [00:17:00] And most people are not living that way. They're living full of them. But it's no longer I that lives. Why? Because you died. So when someone said I was crucified with Christ. Remember Paul said that in Galatians two, okay, I was crucified with Christ. Literally. No, Paul wasn't up there on the cross, but in identification he is. So I take myself because when he was Crucified you is crucified. Amen. Amen. That produced a death. Generally crucifixion does. Amen. Amen. Most people don't come back from crucifixion. I've only read about one person. Amen. Y'all know his name. Amen. Jesus. Thank you, Miss Pam. Sounds just like a female's voice when she said that. So you died with him. You was buried with him. But then you was. What? Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo! See? All hell tried to hold this. Tried to try to hold him down. They said we did it. No one thought we could ever kill God's son, the Messiah. They said, you know what God said back in the garden? Even he said, with the seed of this woman, I'm going to raise up, it's going to crush your heel. He says, no, that didn't work. We killed him three days. But on the third day, all claims of justice that was against you and I forever. Past, present and future. God was completely satisfied. For. For anyone that was and anyone that would ever come.
Pastor West: [00:18:38] That he had no anger against you. Amen. That we we were reconciled to God. That we had we we were brought back into peace, into harmony with God. That we would now be the justified, the righteous, the holy ones. People talk about holiness. So what is holiness? Holiness is how well you know Jesus. You see, you're not any holier than you know him. And there's a lot of people who know about him, but they really have never met him yet. They teach Sunday school. Sometimes they get in the pulpit, sometimes they lead the singing and play the guitar or guitar. They can teach children's church. They can be a great, you know, evangelists, but doesn't mean that you know him. Amen. There's a difference between knowing of him, knowing about him, reading about him and then meeting the author. Amen. Well, we know people sometimes what we would call famous people that we see on TV. And we might think that you know them, but that doesn't mean that you know them. You just know their character on TV. But do you really know them? Do you really know Jesus? Have you actually ever met him? You say, well, how could I meet him? He's not here. Well, that's what the disciples had to go through, didn't they? Jesus said, I'm leaving and it's going to be better for y'all. That didn't sound good. I mean, just think, if Jesus appeared in our service this morning.
Pastor West: [00:20:12] I mean, literally appeared. We all could see him. Wouldn't that be amazing? How many of y'all would like for Jesus to just appear? But then he's been a little time with us. That'd be amazing. Then then he tells. He tells Miss Pam I'm still working with you, he said, now, Pam, I'm believing and I won't be back, he said, but it's going to be better. Does that even sound like it's. No. She says no, she she's an unhappy participant. But he said it's better. He told us it's better for you if I go. In other words, other translations said, if he said if I leave, it will be to your advantage. Amen. Because he was in a physical body. So if if I was having a conversation with Miss Lisa over here and we was over here talking to have service, and she was talking and I was listening, and then I was talking and she was listening. We would that would be a conversation, right? And if you was in the foyer or in your car, would you and I be having a conversation if Miss Lisa and I was having a conversation here? No. Why? Because I can only be in that conversation with one person. I can't be with you wherever, wherever else you are. Jesus had the same issue. He no longer has that issue. He is with you always. Amen. Amen. Always. Now I want to get to my actual my.
Pastor West: [00:21:31] That. That was the introduction. So the confinement is over. Now to. That means to keep someone or something within limits. Now I want you to listen to this because this was the first thing he wanted me to talk to you about after the February 4th prayer. So that was he's telling you this is what this is the objective. This is where this thing is going. So February the 7th on a Wednesday night, it was winter. He said, okay, you got a prayer going. Okay. You're going to get the building going. That's good. Thank you. Now, he said, because the time of confinement is over. What's confinement? To keep someone or something within their limits, to prevent someone or something from going beyond a particular limit, to keep them, to restrict them, to enclose them, to incarcerate, to hold them captive, to imprison them, to bind or to cage. Who wants to be in that camp? Now, what's the opposite of confinement? To set at liberty. To be liberated. Freedom, freedom. Freedom, freedom. That's the key word. Unlimited. Unrestricted. Unlimited. Unrestrained. Unshackled. Unfettered. To acquit. To release. To set free. To discharge. To loosen. To lose control. To reveal. To allow. Increase. To exceed. To promote. To enlarge. To extend. To stretch. To widen. To expedite. Set at large. Just to name a couple of things. Amen. Thank you Lord. He says, remind him this morning, this is where we're headed.
Pastor West: [00:23:00] Having the ability to move and release from constraints. Now he has that ever happened before? Well, Selah. Which means what? Pause and think about it. Okay, I'm through thinking now. So Luke four 414 through 18 says this. And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit unto Galilee. And there went out a fame of him throughout all the region about. And he taught in their synagogues, and be glorified of all. I don't really have the time to do this, but, you know, you really ought to read what happened before Jesus returned. Where did he return from? He was in the wilderness, in the oasis, and he was drinking out of these little umbrella cups. And the people had palm branches over him, and they were feeding him delicious delicacies in his mouth. When he's laying in the hammock. You remember reading those scriptures, don't you know he was tempted for 40 days of the devil? Y'all know anything about being tempted of the devil? Yeah. You and your mama. That's right. And did he do it as God, or did he do? Is that a man? A man was filled with what? So he is our example. So that when you're tempted above what you think that you are able to bear. Know this he was true. And he did as a man filled with the Holy Ghost. Are you full or are you sure? Are you sure that you're full? Because y'all be Amen.
Pastor West: [00:24:25] And better if you're full. Y'all sitting there like this is a movie theater and see what's going to happen next. No, you have to engage. Right. Amen. Act like it's a fight. I hit you, you got to hit back, right? Okay. Now, it's not a fight. It's not a fight. But, you know, just just just, you know, get involved here just a little bit. So he said he taught them in their synagogues being glorified of all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up in his custom was he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. Now listen to this. And there was there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. Just the book. Now listen. And when he and when he opened the book, he found the place where it was written. In other words, he didn't just say, well, open the scroll. They didn't tell him where to read. He opened the book of Isaiah. Right place, right time. Everything's about to shift and change. I mean, there's a shift going on right here. I mean, he had to find the place. He knew what his text was that day. Now I'm telling you everything about change right here. Everything. He's about to make some people very mad. Reading scriptures. Did you know that you can offend people with scriptures? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Amen. You can make them happy. You can make them glad.
Pastor West: [00:25:45] If I do my job right, I'm making someone happy. I'm making someone sad. If I do my job right, someone I'll make sad or mad. But it's not me. It's just the scriptures. Amen. It's just the scriptures. Let's call the Book of Life, not the Book of Mad. You know what? Mad is backwards. You got it. Never thought about that in my life. I just said it. Y'all figured it out. Okay. So I never thought about that in my life. Did you actually give me that? Okay. Okay. I never thought about it. So he found the book, the place where it was written. And when he found the right place, he began to quote Isaiah. Isaiah has spoken words before. Jesus was physically born on the earth. Of course, he was here forever. But when he physically came, not as deity but as a man, he had to find the place that was written about him. Have you found yourself in here? Oh, have you found yourself in here? Don't you know you look a lot better in him than you look outside of him? Boy, you look a lot better in Christ than you look outside of Christ. If you don't like how you look, it's because you ain't took a look at him lately. Mark Hankins would say, now watch here. Here's what he said. The spirit of the Lord is upon me. Say that with me. Say the spirit of the Lord is upon me.
Pastor West: [00:27:00] The Lord is upon me. Would that be true? To say to you is the spirit of the Lord upon you? Amen. Say this. He hath anointed me to preach The gospel to the poor. The gospel to the poor. He sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind. Sight to the blind. To set at liberty them that are bruised. Now the NLT says this. Say this with me. This is the NLT. To set the oppressed free. Set the oppressed free. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. The year of Jubilee. So what was he saying? He's telling them. Tell them this. He said. Tell them the day of confinement. It's over. Amen. Amen. It's over. This is. This is the year of Jubilee, when the free favors of God profusely abound. But did you know that was true? That was the day in that time. But you know, in Christ, every day is the day of Jubilee. He is the Jubilee. Amen. He is the. He is rest. He is the Sabbath. When is the Sabbath? Yes. Yes. If we meet tomorrow. When's the Sabbath? Yes. You said. Would you meet church? Can you have church on Saturday or Sunday? Yes. Why? He is the Sabbath. Don't pick out a day. Pick out Jesus. Don't pick out a day. He's already answered all the questions. He's already crossed every t dotted every I.
Pastor West: [00:28:35] Whoo! Glory to God! I'm going to bypass that. And I ought to just. I ought to just. I don't know what I'm going to do to myself for bypassing that. Oh, my gosh, I'm going to I can't I can't bypass this one. I just can't do it. Isaiah 61. Verse two says, I got to go up to verse one, I'm sorry. Verse one and two says, The Spirit of the sovereign Lord is on me. You see, when I, when I read those scriptures, I take them personally. Think about it. This is how you meditate? The word. How do you do it? You just sit there. This is the NLT, says the spirit of the sovereign Lord. He's on me. Then I pause. The Spirit of God is on me. I know my covenant. He's in me. He's on me. He's in me. He's the inside. He's outside. He's. He's top, he's bottom, he's front, he's back. And I just meditate. The spirit of the Lord is upon me. Then I read the next verse. See, I take it personal, because the Lord hath anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor man. What would be good news to someone who's poor? Thank you, Mr. Beale. Praise God for some help in this house. You don't have to be poor anymore. He sent me to bind the brokenhearted and proclaim freedom, freedom, freedom from the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.
Pastor West: [00:30:07] What does that mean? The day of confinement for you is over. Now listen to this. This is verse two in the NLT to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn and provide for those who grieve in Zion, which is of the church, to bestow on them. Listen a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. Amen. Amen. And you will be called the oaks of righteousness. The planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. I have here from February the 7th. Here we see that there's been a strong confinement on the people of God. Confinement in the home, the family, their health, the finances, confinement in nations, wars and rumors of wars. But now the proclamation of the Lord and by the agreement and alignment for the assignment of the new day is breaking forth. A new season, a new time of release. For all that's held you back. Arise and shine. For the time has come. Say with me. Say the day of confinement is over. Tell someone that you can see. Said your day of confinement is over. Your day of. Your words have power. Yes. Yes. Do you have authority? Yes. And you have words. Amen. Your words are his words. Tell them one more time. Say your day of confinement is over.
Pastor West: [00:31:38] Amen. Amen. Now watch here then, Matthew 1128 Jesus said, come to me. See? How's it going to be over? Here it is. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened. Matthew 1128. And I'll give you some more work to do. I'll double down. I'll pack you up like a pack mule. I'll fill your stagecoach till the wheels fall off. Is that what he said? You'll be the tall man in the saddle. And the man from Laramie. Oh, praise the Lord. Come, come, come, come to me. All you who are weary. All you weary folks out there. All you folks burdened. The weary and the burdened. I singing songs this morning and I can't even sing. It sounded pretty good in the shower because the shower is small and you get the acoustics. And with the warm water, I thought, I can't sing, but I have to do it in the shower. And I got out of the shower. Even I couldn't stand it. Y'all ever. Y'all ever sing from a hymn book? Going to church. Jesus has a table spread where the saints of God are fed. He invites his chosen people. What is it? There you go. Come and dine. With this manner he doth feed and supplies our every need. Oh, tis sweet to sup with Jesus all the time. Come and dine. The master calleth. Come and dine. You may feast at Jesus table all the time.
Pastor West: [00:33:19] He who fed the multitude, he turned the water into what? Oh! Oh my gosh, there's no sermon to the hungry calleth. Now come and dine. Soon the lamb will take his bride to ever be at his side. All the host of heaven will assemble. Y'all know some people in heaven, but we're about to assemble with them. Amen. Oh, man. Your mama's right there. I prayed with her before she left. Boy, that's going to be fun. You go join right there with your mother, with your family, husband, wife, people. Who's left? And here you are. It's just all the host of heaven will assemble. It's going to be a glorious sight. All the saints in spotless white. And with Jesus, we're going to spend eternity. So to the hungry he says, come and dine. Come to the feast. The master's calling. Come and dine. There's a table spread with the saints of God are fed. He invites his chosen people. That you come and dine. So Jesus says, come to me. Take my yoke upon you. Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Acts 319. He says, this is the same day, February 7th. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out by him and remembered by many other folks. No, no. That is the reverse translation.
Pastor West: [00:35:05] Repent then, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Amen. Man, y'all ought to just take that in right now. What do I do when I repent? There's a turning in there. There's a changing in there. There's a transformation. We're meeting together on September the 10th month. On the first day. The number 11 is a transformation day. It's a change in the order of God from the kingdom of heaven. And no man shall be able to stand as he told Joshua. Listen. Turn. Repent and turn to God. And your sins are wiped out. Wiped out that times of refreshing. That's what happens when we when our sins are wiped out. That's what happens when we we go to the Lord and he. He takes us and he receives us, and he forgives us, and he cleanses us and washes us in his spotless, cleansed blood, that what can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus, nothing. And restores us to himself. Right? So the amplified says, so repent, change your mind and change your purpose. Turn around and return to God that your sins may be erased, blotted out, wiped clean. The times of refreshing, of recovering from the effects of heat y'all have been in. You feel like you've ever been in heat. Well, I've been in. I've been bearing my burden faster in the heat of the day.
Pastor West: [00:36:50] You heard that saying. Bearing my burden in the heat of the day. Don't bury it. Come to Jesus. Learn of him. Receive of him. He says. Learn how to do it with me. Learn to learn to do it as I do it. The message says come. He says, watch, watch and learn. The unforced, unforced rhythms of grace. The unforced, unforced. Why are we trying to force things? Let it come to you. Amen. Let it come to you in prayer. This morning I saw a great tsunami. There was one in Asia a few years ago, and about a quarter of a million people died. And it took everything in its path. It took homes, it took structure. It took the decks, it took hotels, it took everything with it. And a quarter of a million people lost their lives in a tsunami. This tsunami is not you know, God is not sending the tsunami in that sense. But there's a great wind. There's a great. I'm looking for the word, but there's. It's as a tsunami. It's coming in. It has great force behind it. And it's not here to drown you. But you can rise like a diver would ride the waves, and it's going to wash over, and it's going to cleanse and it's going to sanctify. It's going to make you whole. Amen. But if your faith is in Jesus on the solid rock, it doesn't matter what the force of it is.
Pastor West: [00:38:23] It might hit you, but it won't shake you. It will. But if it. If it hits and shakes you, it hits you and shakes you. Obeying him? Yeah. So when the storms of life hits you and shake, you obeying him. Amen. Let it come. You say, well, the storm is really bad. Yeah, but. But it's hitting me. Shaking it. It's hitting. Shaking me on this rock. Now, if it's built on the sand, ruin. But if it hits you and shakes you obeying him, let it come on. You can say, come on, bring a whole lot of mo, a whole lot more. Why? Because Jesus said a wise man built his house on the. What? On the rock. Who's the rock? Jesus. But it's more than that. It's not. It's not just Jesus. It's Jesus. And you hear it and go doing. Amen. See? The rock is here. And go do. Jesus asked Peter, who told you that? Well, Peter didn't know. He said you could even know what you just said out of your mouth that I'm the Messiah unless it was revealed to you. Go down a few chapters later and then he has to. He has to get reprimanded. You know, Peter telling Jesus you're not going to die after he just got this great revelation. Don't tell me the devil don't come to church. But it's hearing and obeying. Amen. It's hearing. What is the meat of the word? Well, you say, well, now we go to our church and my pastor preaches the meat.
Pastor West: [00:39:55] Boy, that's strong. Strong. It's it's the meat of the message. We don't get them, baby stuff like church down there. No, it's all milk. The meat is hearing the Word of God and acting upon it. Humbling yourself in the sense of you. Hear it and go do it. Amen. Humbling yourself and taking his opinion of you. Humbling. Not in the sense of of demasking you. In the sense of you're you're making little of you. But when you feel condemnation come into your life, when that sin consciousness is attacking you, when it says you failed on every side, and you said this would never happen again on Thursday, but by Friday morning, same thing. Same problem. Them. And you think this and you think you're a Christian. You think this? Then you have to go to the to the Word of God, and you have to find out that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus before anything happened, or if it ever happens again, nothing is going to change your brand. Amen. Because you didn't do anything to become righteous. You just believed, right? If believing correctly created you to be the righteousness of God, an action doesn't wipe that away. Amen. Amen. My Social Security number has been the same forever as yours. Yes. Even. How about your alias? When? Your name has been the same forever, right? When your parents gave you.
Pastor West: [00:41:27] You their name. When you. If you ever made a mistake. If you ever fail. Did they change your name? Did they say you no longer. Can you be a C? What did you do to become a C? Nothing. Use. Born to see you got born up in it. Born to it. I'm butchering the English language on purpose. Which is easy for me. But anyway, what I'm saying. But nothing changes it because you're in it. So the Bible says. But what manner of love that we have that we are what? Called the sons of God. And so the sons of God is here to manifest. So this morning, as we close, that was that day, then I don't really have time, but I'll just give you 3 or 4 things here. The secret of the Christian life. And there are secret. They don't need to be secrets. We don't need. We don't know ground keeping secrets. But it seems like it's a secret that hasn't got out yet. You don't have to. Don't go there. But just write this down. One of the secrets of the Christian life is Matthew 2820 lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. With all life's struggles and difficulties and all of our failures and disappointments and temptations, fears of today and worries of tomorrow, it seems so very complicated. Michelle has asked me. She said, I had this in here, and I was in my office, and I came out because I love it when it happens to me this way, when I'm sitting in my office and I just start hearing, and I'm trying to write, and I'm trying to write fast enough, and I'm trying to get down and I'm saying, you know, you know, I don't shorthand, you know, I don't.
Pastor West: [00:43:22] And then I have to come back, you know, while it's still fresh, because I didn't close my wires or my G's and all that kind of stuff, then maybe you don't remember. So it's kind of a mess what I got here, but just. I just wrote down what I heard. Lo, I am with you always. The secret of Christian life. Lo, I am with you always. Even to the end of the world. With all life's struggles and difficulties with all the failures and disappointments and temptations, the fears of the day and the worries of tomorrow. It seems so very complicated. Oh, how I long to tell the secret for the believers in such simple words. That a little child could understand. You see, it's not in your work, it's not in your doings. Jesus said in John 1423. Jesus promised if a man would love me, he will keep my words, and my father will love him. And we will come to him, and we will make our abode. We will make our home, we will manifest ourselves. To him are manifest himself to him.
Pastor West: [00:44:17] Hebrews 13 five and I will never leave you, and I will never forsake you. I'm sorry, I don't have any words adequate for that. I'm with you always. If a man loves me, he will keep my words. Can I help us to understand a little bit better than that? You say? Well, see, now there's a condition. Yes. You're right. But you loved him because he loved you first. And his love gives you the ability to do that when you when you get his ability and you get his grace and his love. The desire of your heart will to be to please him, and you will keep his commands. He said, and then in you now I have found a new home. I have a new residence. He says, you're going to be my address. Amen. You're going to be my address. And Jesus said, and we will love you. And we. Who's we? The Godhead is now going to come and make their home their abode with you. I don't know, maybe. Maybe if I could go somewhere else. I don't know. I just, I mean, I just it should be easier than that. Praise the Lord. I mean, do you have ears to hear what I'm telling you? I mean, can you even hear what I'm trying to tell you? I mean, if I'm going to give you my love and my grace and my ability and my mate.
Pastor West: [00:45:38] And then you'll be. Then you'll be able to keep my words. And then my father will know. And we will come to you, Pam. And the Trinity is going to make their home with Pam. Tell Pam I will never leave Pam. I will never forsake Pam. I will not, I will not, I will not, I will not. The secret of the Christian strength and joy is simply the presence of the Lord Jesus. For in his presence is fullness of joy. When Christ was on the earth, he was physically present with his disciples. They walked together all day at night. They rested their bodies. He was with them, for he was humanity. He was God in human flesh. They often ate together. They were with him. When he taught the multitudes, they watched Jesus heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out tormented devils, and raise the dead. They they witnessed him calm the storm and walk on water. Multiply the bread. The fierce. They watched him give the command of Lazarus dead body to come forth. And he was dead for four days. They watched him stop the death of the woman who was guilty of adultery, forgiving her with no condemnation. And now she could go and sin no more. With the gift of no condemnation. He cleansed the lepers. He stopped the issue of blood of the woman of 12 years suffering with his words he forgave. He set the captive free.
Pastor West: [00:47:03] He is the Son of God who gave his life as a ransom for everyone in the world. The simplest way to live date is to live in his presence. Let him live his life in and through you. Let his thoughts be your words. Let his words be your words. Yield to him. Let yourself die until there's no more of you. You and I must die before you can truly live. What you're looking for today is true peace, which you're longing for is rest. Sometimes you go to the beach and mountains. That's great. That's necessary. That helps. But he is the creator of that world. The only rest, and the only peace that you can have is to know him. Reading your Bible, listening to teachings is awesome. Going to church is a blessing, but that's still not true. Rest that you seek. He alone is your rest every day. He is your Sabbath. After the resurrection of Jesus in Luke 24, he appeared and walked with disciples. Just days after the resurrection. They were so tormented. They were so confused they couldn't understand. They've given over three years of their life to follow him. They don't even know why he died. And now their whole world is shaking. He's gone. They left their homes. They left their businesses. They left everything. And he's dead. And his two disciples are walking. And Jesus appears to them. But they didn't know who he was. They spent three years with him and they don't even know who he is.
Pastor West: [00:48:30] You can go to church and say, Amen. Glory to God and teach them the class and not even know him. You can read about him, sing about him, clap your hands together and not even know him. And then he asked him. He said, what were you discussing before I came along? And you're thinking, are you some kind of stranger here? Have you not heard what's happened in this place? I mean, everybody in the world knows what's going on here. Don't you watch Fox News? Oh, you watch MSNBC? Yeah, that's why you. That's why you confuse. I hope I didn't lose their right there. But anyway, it's so they so he he began, he said, you fools, you slow of heart to believe that he began to reveal why this man named Jesus must die. He said he started the book of Moses in the very Pentateuch, and he goes all the way forward. And then it said, he made as if he was going to go on further. He tricked him to see what they wanted to do. They were so engrossed in what he was saying, they said, well, could you just come with us a while longer? Could you just come with us a little while longer? And he said, okay. So he went with him and they began to have a meal together. They began to eat, and he broke bread with them.
Pastor West: [00:49:49] And he began to open up the scriptures, because the scriptures says, wasn't open to him. They never saw it. They'd been hearing it. They've been hearing it, they've been hearing it, they've been hearing it, they've been hearing it. But they didn't know it. They heard, they heard, they heard, they heard, but they didn't know it. They said they could see it. And they said they could hear it, but they didn't see it. They didn't know. Then all of a sudden he opened up the word to them and they're like. And he vanished in thin air. He was gone. And they knew it was Jesus, the Messiah that the woman had seen earlier. Amen. And it said, then he opened up their eyes, and now they knew him. There you go. There you go. You know what happens in the presence of God. You know what happens in called to glory. You can come to know him. Amen. Come on. Not just know about him so that he walks with you on that road like he walked with him. When you're in that place where it looks like there's just. I mean, this is a terrible situation. You know, you don't know what to do about it. You had nothing to do with it. You know, maybe it was someone else. But we're together with him, and he knows all of it. He knows all of it. He knows every detail of it. He knows every hurt, every pain, every insecurity.
Pastor West: [00:51:17] Everything. Jesus doesn't want your strength. My God, he doesn't need your strength. He doesn't need your help to be the Savior. He don't need you to help. Be the source. You're not the source. You're not the supply. Paul found out. He said this thorn that Satan has come to buffet me. He said, would you get this thorn out of my life? He says, you don't need a thorn out of you. What did he need? The grace of God was sufficient for anything. You might be going through a test right now. The scripture said there's no test, no temptation in life that you're dealing with. I think that's just not common. You're not the only person in the world who's dealt with this kind of situation. But it gave you a promise in there. It's not like you hear it preached the first time. God won't put on you more than you can stand. That's not even in the Bible. You read that with ignorant eyes. It doesn't even say that. It tells you where the thorn came from. A messenger who said it didn't say it didn't say from the seraphim. The seraphim? It didn't say. Michael Gabriel, come down and put a thorn in your side to keep you, you know. You know, we don't want you to get too proud to know the messenger of Satan. Paul had revelation that was rocking the world, and Satan said, we gotta stop that boy.
Pastor West: [00:52:40] Amen. We're going to stop that. We can't let this church get to where it's going. We can't let them people get there. We cannot let these people get there. What are we going to do? Let's do some thorns. Whoo! They got two Paul for a while. They did. He got to Paul for a while, right? Because he cried out. Can you please remove this from me? Get me out of the situation. But no. No temptation has taken any man as common to any kind of man. But know this. That God will make a way of what? Escape if one's need is necessary. Amen. See? But that's the escape theology that every Christian wants right now. I get it, I do too, sometimes. Like. What's your favorite word? Rapture. Rapture. Jump. Do the jump. Do the jump! Get me out of this place. I mean, I mean, on his best day, man, it's the trash can, right? Get me up out of here. You ever practice the rapture? Jump! This is the day the Lord hath made. Get us up and get us out. Well, no, Paul said. And Jesus asked Paul something. I can't remember what he asked him. I brought it up. Then go up there. He said something like this. What's your problem, boy? Well, would you go to the chapel before? I'm thinking that's what your problem is. Remember all the perils he went through? I mean, this man had been naked, cold, hungry, beaten, snake bit shipwrecked, beat with rods, stoned to death.
Pastor West: [00:54:21] I'm thinking that's a problem. He said, that's not even a problem. I mean, how many you think that'd be a problem for most people? Yes. I mean, if someone would beat you with a rod and stoned you to death and then you had to be raised up, then you're going to go right back in that same city and preach again. Not me I'm looking for. I'm looking for a new town. I'm looking for someone who we can have a revival in. I mean, stoned, he's there for the dead. And the disciples got around him and raised him up from the dead. And he says we must go back into the city. I'm thinking, ain't none of me going back in there. I mean, I got that message. Remember when Jesus said, shake the dust off? Yeah. This ain't dust, man. Yeah. So? So anyway. Anyway, Paul cried out. Get this out of me! Oh my gosh, get this out of me! And God said, hey, hey, hey. He said, my grace is sufficient. He said, what's the problem? He said, it's the care of the churches. He said, I'm going preaching grace. It makes people mad. Grace makes people mad. God. He says, I go preach grace. I tell them they're only justified by believing in Jesus without without the works, because he is the fulfillment of all the works.
Pastor West: [00:55:41] I mean, we're not getting rid of the law. The law is morally, wonderfully great. What's this problem going to do it? Everybody tried. Right? If you don't do all of it, you ain't done none of it. I didn't make 100 on every test. So if I miss one thing, I flunked the whole test. No one would here. Would have graduated, right? Get anything wrong? We would have got out of kindergarten a b c d d. So the care of the churches is where Paul's problem was. He'd go preach this gospel. They get born again. He'd leave and go to another city. He'd come back in 2 or 3 months. And the Judaizers don't come back to the strict adherence of the law. We've heard of that. Paul telling people that you can just be justified by faith in this Messiah, so-called Messiah that was killed as a criminal, and that's going to be your savior. You know, you have to be circumcised. Bring the knife out here, Barrett. Come on. Oh, what a way to be saved, man. But they went right back to it. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And it got to Paul. It got to Paul. I'm thinking but again, I'm thinking about the chapter before we got to me being shipwrecked. Then come out and get beat by a venomous snake right after the shipwreck. That's a bad day in most people's books. And what did God tell Paul? He said, Paul, my grace for you is what? Beyond anything.
Pastor West: [00:57:27] He said, for when you are weak at the weakest. He said, that's now. Now he said, Paul, don't, don't, don't give me your strength. Know me. Trust me. Did you hear the songs today? Trust in God. Did you hear the next one? Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus. Come and dine. The master's calling. Come and dine. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Amen. The master's calling. The master's calling. Come and dine. You may feast at Jesus table. Not just on Sundays, but all the time. There's a feast laid out before us. The grace of God is bigger and greater than any test that you're in, but you don't give him your strength. I go to him every day and I said, look, you already know this, but I'm going to tell you I don't have natural strength for this. I don't have natural wisdom for this situation without you. John 15 I can't do anything, but I know I ain't without you. I know I'm with you. I know its fullness I receive, I'm complete in you. I'm not the old man. I'm the new man. I'm not the first Adam. I'm the last Adam. I'm not the one without glory. I'm the one with glory. I'm clothed with you. I'm not. I'm not naked. I know who I am because I know who you are.
Pastor West: [00:58:51] That was the first song you might have said them songs was on. Purposely played. That if we can't hear it this way, maybe we can sing it out. If you get people singing it out. Faith comes by. What? That's why we have music too. We try to get it in somehow or another. If they won't hear it, maybe they can sing it. Maybe they can hear themselves saying, I'm an overcomer. I'm an overcomer. I'm an overcomer. You're an overcomer. Pam's an overcomer. Amen. Are you an overcomer, Pam? Yes. And what? In all things or something? All things. All things. Say with me. I'm an overcomer. I'm an overcomer. Say I'm an overcomer in Christ. I'm an overcomer in Christ. Greater is he that's in me. Greater than he is in the world. Now, I want you to take those situations, if you will. I know usually we cast them like this way. But I'm not talking about that. I want you to take those situations. We all have something, right? It could be internal. It could be external. It could be something that you're dealing with, whatever it is. Maybe you've cast in it, taking it back. I don't want you to tell the Lord that how strong you are. Yes, you are strong. Ephesians six says, but you're strong. What? In the Lord. It didn't say I'm strong. No. It says you're strong in the Lord. Amen. Oh oh. Mountain. Oh. Great mountain.
Pastor West: [01:00:13] Who are you? Who do you think you are? Oh! Great mountain! Then he shouts, grace! Grace to the mountain. And that mountain becomes a what? A plane? A mere molehill. You are at the Red Sea of Exodus 14. Stop it back there. I know 14 messiahs. Number 14 verse. They're trapped. There's nowhere to go. You're trapped in this marriage situation, this problem. You're trapped in the health situation. You're trapped in grief. You're trapped in sorrow. You're trapped financially. You're trapped physically. It's called life. And the Lord knows every detail. Seek first the what? The kingdom and his righteousness. And all these things bad to you now. So we're going to speak grace to these situations. Remember, remember Hebrews four. He said they heard the word, but it did them no good. He did them no good. The word did them no good. Wow. How can the word not do good? Because they wouldn't mix it with faith. But today you can put it in the mixer. You know how you mix. Amen. It's called the tongue. The tongue is the mixer. Y'all have a tongue. Amen. Don't show all of it. Just show me some mix. Go to a mixer. Say I believe the Lord. Come on now, y'all. Some of y'all are just not going to do that, are you? Say, I believe the Lord with all my heart. All my heart, all my soul and all my mind. I'm mixing my faith. Mixing my faith with my tongue in my mouth.
Pastor West: [01:02:02] With belief in my heart. That Jesus is my Lord. He's My lord. And I'm in his lordship. I'm in the kingdom of God. I'm in the kingdom. And every situation, every situation that comes into my life that befits me, that says that I'm weak. It says I'm weak and not strong is a lie. Because I am strong. I am strong in the Lord, in the Lord, and I'm in the Lord. It's Christ in me. It's Christ in the hope of glory, of his fullness. I have received. I have. And the secret is, lo, I am with you always, even to the ends of the world. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I'll never leave your side. I'll never leave your side. So the greater one is on the inside. So I submit all these issues to his lordship and have his grace. I do receive strength, strength, glory, power, power. Authority, authority. Love. Love. Kindness. Kindness. Goodness. Goodness. Patience. Patience. Long suffering. Joy. The love of God. The love of God and the joy of the Lord. Joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength. So I focus on him. I focus on him. And I take the joy. And I apply the joy right now to every situation, every situation. So apply it to that biggest problem right now. Thank you Lord. No see? See the natural mind now. And I said that.
Pastor West: [01:03:39] You see, you're thinking the Lord is supposed to make you do something like he was supposed to make you talk in tongues. You have to apply it. Amen. I got stung by a couple of weeks ago when the girls were here. My yellow jacket. I did find that nest later on, and I found out one of their not so favorite drinks as gas, so they won't be coming out of that hole no more. Boy, that thing hurt. I mean, hurt, right? On the almost the top of the big toe feather came in. I was walking on my heel, all swollen up. It was a great day. I had to apply stuff to it. The Lord wouldn't even come down and apply it on my toe. I thought you loved me. You wouldn't even rub this cream. Lord, it's right there. Lord. Pick that up and put it right here. Count it all joy. Count it all joy. Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Y'all need 100 people. Make it easier. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! How many people does it take to get drunk? I mean, how many? How many people does it take to get high? Could a man get high all by himself? Could a man get drunk all by himself? Could a man commit sin by all his life? Could a man get saved all by himself? Oh, so could a man have joy all by himself? How would he do that? Oh, go ahead and apply it.
Pastor West: [01:05:11] Go ahead and apply it. Go ahead and apply the answer. Cast the care off. Let the grace of God, which is bigger than any situation, be your answer. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. This is what the man did. Who was shipwrecked. Beat, beat with rods. I mean, my mama used a belt and some hickory and some sweet gums. She said, sweet gum is not just. She wanted hickory. She wanted them medium size. That would wrap around your legs. And she said, I want you to remember not to do that again. I said, I remember when I watched your when I watched you lay into my brother and we both did it, I said, I can remember just watching him. I got it. If it's the lesson I learned, I got it. She said come on, baby, like your mother. Come on baby. Well I learned but the joy. So learn this, that when the pressure's on. Don't run from the pressure when Goliath is coming. David ran toward him. He didn't run. He didn't run from him and said, oh my gosh, I didn't realize he's that big. No. He ran towards the giant. What did he tell the giant? Today I will cut your head off. Ha ha ha! When said when, said God had prepared 17 years to prepare David for that moment. But when said he took thousands of years to prepare the rock that was going to go to Goliath before there was a David in a slingshot. There was a rock. Yeah. Everything is going to be used now to your advantage. Hallelujah!
Congregation: [01:06:59] Glory!
Pastor West: [01:07:00] Bill, favor is going to be breaking out in your in your household everywhere. Thank you Lord. In your home, in your children and your grandchildren, in your business. You are going to be a financial magnet. Oh, yeah. You you something something is ready to transpire for you because promotion comes from the Lord. Psalm 75. Somewhere in there it says promotion doesn't come from east and west and the south. It comes from the Lord. He said he. He said he'll take one out of there place to raise up another one. And if you're not going to come, you know, when he come, he experienced he. I'm having a hard time here. I'm kind of. I'm kind of happy drunk. When they come back and checked on the talents that he gave them, and they had done nothing with him. So he'll take one down to promote another. This is true for all of you, but I just hear that from you. So, so so you're in promotion. Expected everywhere. Everywhere you go. In every room. I mean, I remember all those things Jerry Savelle preached about favor and thank God for them. But some of us don't need to get the best parking space. Some of us need to walk them in and. Get off some calories. We don't need to be at the front door. We need back at the parking lot sometimes until we get. But but the principle is this the favor of God is not fair. That's right. God will do more for you in a moment of favor than you could do in five years. Oh my gosh. I know I need to let you go.
Pastor West: [01:08:48] I just praise God. It's just if I could tell you in words what I feel on the inside. What I'm sensing from the Holy Spirit. My my my my my my my. The more, the more, the more, the more, the more the glory, the glory, the glory, the glory, the glory. And father, we thank you in the balance of days. That the Global Ventures team in Indonesia. That you have prepared their footsteps. Any and every demonic force that is there in those regions to stop the gospel from coming forth. We, by the name and the authority of Jesus Christ, we command them to cease and desist from their maneuvers against these people, and we put ourselves in agreement that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, and Indonesia will be saved. Indonesia will know the manifestation of the glory of God and of his goodness and signs and wonders and miracles and healings and demonstrations of the Holy Ghost and power, that the faith will stand, and the wisdom of men, but the power of God, not with enticing words of man's speech, but in demonstration. For the kingdom of God is not taught, but its power. Yes. Miss Lisa, I have no details about this, but the thing that you're praying about, do I do this? Is is it time for me to do this? This is vague, but this is all that I have. Yes, it is time. It's time to take that next step now. And he said you would know what that means. He's with you. Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. Wow. Well, Amen. Amen. Amen.
Pastor West: [01:11:46] Amen. We're. You can be here Wednesday night we're going to. Yep. That's what we're going to do. All right. Amen. It's just it's just so huge. I don't know how to articulate in words. I could just do it in tongues. Yeah, they were in the upper room. Many of them left. Said we can't stay hanging around here. 500 went left. 120 they left. Holy ghost came and fell. The world has never been the same. The world has never been the same. The Holy Ghost came and he fell. And they were suddenly and suddenly and suddenly and suddenly. That's what's going to happen to you. And suddenly and suddenly and suddenly you've prayed about it. You've been believing God for it. You've been holding on to words. Bill has prophetic words. You have prophetic words, you've held them. You believe God for them. Sometimes we forgot about them. It looked like it was going 100 miles in the other direction from that word. And the Lord's never forgot a word of it. Now you're here. This is not about to happen. You're not just about to come into it. You're you're here. You're now going to experience the rest of God. And when you have the rest of God, you have the peace of God. You have the joy of the Lord. But it's all connected to the harvest. Now just labor to enter into the into the rest, into peace. Take natural rest. That's important to rest your bodies.
Pastor West: [01:13:44] Sometimes you need some time off. Sometimes you need to relax. That's important because you do have a physical body, right? You know that if you used to be 15 years old and you're not, you know what I'm talking about. When I started preaching when I was 30 years old, I said, man, I must I must get healing really good because I ain't never sick. I ain't never got a problem. I thought, I thought because I was such a great believer about the healing of the Lord. No, it's because I was 25, 30 years old. I didn't know I had a body in my 40s, close to my 50s. My body says, no, it's the same body. We still hear that. It's like, oh, but you know, the same verses apply to it. But I thought it was my great faith that when I was 30 years old, about healing. Those of you who's over 50 laps with me. I think I appreciate that a whole lot. But the promise has never changed. The promise has never changed. So y'all are the kind of crowd. I don't know when y'all need to go, but this is what happens in extended meetings when you have what some people call revivals. When you have something that lasts, you know, we we used to go to meetings at Tulsa and there'd be morning meetings and night meetings, and they would last for seven days.
Pastor West: [01:14:59] It would be and they would be, you know, it wasn't church. It was a it was a meeting. It was when the Bible seminar, it was, you know, camp meeting. Then you had day and night, night and day, and each one was going to be 2 or 3 hours, used 5 or 6 hours going to Bible school. It's the washing of the water of the word that cleanses the heals and sets free, that delivers. And we don't even know we have. We carry all this stuff in it. Sometimes we don't, we don't. We don't even know it. We know about it, but we don't even know how much we've let it be a part of us. And when you end the word like that and you're in consecutive meetings like this, it begins to chip and wash away and cleanse, and then you have a freedom that you didn't even know because you didn't even know it had that much command in your life. And I'm telling you, it's losing all that. It's losing its ability. Amen. It started this morning because he said it would be on this day. It would start. And now we're going to enter in to the joy of the Lord. Say that to me. I'm entering in to the joy of the Lord. When you come into his courts with what thanksgiving and what go into his courts with what? Not not not complaining.
Congregation: [01:16:10] Right.
Pastor West: [01:16:11] Just just start giving Thanksgiving today and every day. Just picture yourself going into the gate. You don't go in mad. I want to see the Lord. You better watch that. No. Come in with Thanksgiving. How many? How many saved? Oh, if you don't ever do nothing else for you.
Congregation: [01:16:35] Hallelujah.
Pastor West: [01:16:36] That when this body closes his eyes for the last time. It takes the last breath. The real you just comes out of that body.
Congregation: [01:16:44] Hallelujah.
Pastor West: [01:16:45] You're never going to be in that thing ever again. You ain't never going to be in that thing ever again. But you are in a sense that you're going to get it back in a glorified sense. You're going to love your glorified body so much. It ain't never going to have a boo boo or a cup. It's never going to stub your toe. You don't ever going to need to check your blood. Check your sugar. Check. Check this, check that. You're going to have a glorified body. Same. Just like Jesus. You're going to be young forever in a glorified body. Same one that Jesus had when he walked right through the walls. How are you going to walk through some walls? Because you. How are you going to mess with some people? Just because you can. Come on. Boo! But there's no fear in him. Amen. Y'all too easy. Get out of here! I love y'all.
