ion pastor Steven Brooks and welcome
00:01
today to our online internet church
00:04
service I'm so happy that you're here
00:06
why don't you grab your Bibles and meet
00:08
me today in the book of 2nd Corinthians
00:10
chapter 9 let's drop down to verse 10
00:13
and let's prepare our hearts to receive
00:16
the tithes and offerings and to bring
00:19
them into the storehouse of God I've got
00:21
one verse I want to share with you and
00:24
there's something today I I believe that
00:26
we need to focus on because the Holy
00:28
Spirit is highlighting this particular
00:30
statement now it says in verse 10 now
00:33
may he who supplies seed to the sower
00:38
now the Apostle Paul in context is
00:41
talking about seed being an offering
00:44
that can be given unto the Lord so it
00:48
says that God supplies seed or money
00:51
because the context here is money we're
00:53
not talking about corn or rice or you
00:56
know some type of agricultural seed this
00:58
is the seed contextually speaking of
01:00
money of finances so it says now may he
01:04
who supplies seed to the sower and bread
01:07
for food supply and multiply the seed
01:10
you have sown now this is fascinating I
01:14
believe over the years that you have now
01:17
been able to prove that the statement
01:20
that God gives seed to the sower it's
01:24
true because I believe there have been
01:26
many times where you want it to sow and
01:28
in your heart you thought Lord if you
01:31
would bless me with the provision I'll
01:32
certainly give towards that that kingdom
01:35
project and you know what God has
01:37
supplied provision and God has made a
01:39
way for money to flow into your life and
01:41
you have seen that God literally has
01:44
proven his word to you that he has given
01:47
seed to the sower and when he gave you
01:50
the seed you actually sowed it and did
01:53
what the Holy Spirit wanted you to do so
01:55
what happened you heard the word which
01:58
is that God gives seed to the sower the
02:00
word produce faith and that faith caused
02:03
that scripture or God's Word to be
02:06
manifested to be activated in your life
02:08
and it actually happened and now you can
02:10
look at that and you could say I know
02:12
that's true
02:13
God gives seed to the sower and you know
02:15
it through personal experience let's
02:18
continue and it says that he gives bread
02:20
for food and it also says that he will
02:22
supply and multiply the seed you have
02:25
sown now here's what the Holy Spirit
02:27
wants you to catch today and to be
02:29
mindful of justice God promised to give
02:33
seed to the sower and you have proven
02:35
that true God also promises to multiply
02:38
the seed you have sown well pastor
02:42
Steven if God said he'll do it then I
02:44
guess he'll just go ahead and do it well
02:46
I do believe there are times where the
02:48
seed that you can sow is done in such
02:51
obedience and it is so pleasing to the
02:53
Lord that the harvest is just going to
02:56
come back maybe in a sense we could call
02:58
it a providential harvest it's just
03:01
something that God's going to get to you
03:02
but I don't believe that it happens like
03:05
that
03:05
all the time I believe that we actually
03:08
have to exercise our faith and believe
03:12
God for the harvest
03:14
just like we believe God for the seed
03:16
well what can happen is that your faith
03:19
could get so strong and so developed and
03:22
believing for seed and for sowing seed
03:25
that maybe what once used to be a great
03:28
challenge or maybe once even seemed
03:30
terrifying now you're like hey that's
03:32
easy I've gotten really good at sewing
03:34
and I believe that you have but here's
03:37
the thing my friends just as you can get
03:38
very good at sowing even to the point
03:40
you're so strong in your faith in it
03:42
that you're comfortable with sowing even
03:44
good seeds you also have to develop your
03:47
faith in this same area of believing
03:50
that God will also multiply the seed
03:52
back to you well pastor Steven why
03:55
should we do that because he says he
03:56
will so look all of the promises of God
04:00
are received by faith okay so there's
04:04
the promise he'll give seed to the sower
04:06
okay
04:06
we believed it we've proved it true now
04:09
it says that he will multiply the seed
04:11
that you have sown okay so that what we
04:14
need to do is we need to get just as
04:16
strong in our faith on that as we have
04:19
been strong in the area of sowing well
04:22
then how pastor Steven do we develop
04:24
faith in that area okay
04:26
what we do is we give specific focus
04:29
towards that statement where it says God
04:32
will multiply the seed you have sown
04:35
okay just as you used to focus and still
04:38
need to also give attention at times to
04:40
that statement that God gives seed to
04:42
the sower okay you also now to give you
04:45
need to give equal attention to Part B
04:48
of this which is that God will multiply
04:50
the seed you have sown so you need to be
04:52
saying God you're multiplying those
04:55
seeds that I have sown and they're
04:57
coming back into my life and it says
04:59
that when it happens it will increase
05:01
the fruits of your righteousness so when
05:03
these big harvests come come in you'll
05:06
have the ability to take the tide to
05:08
take seed and now give on a level that
05:10
you've never given on before how can you
05:13
do that through the harvest coming in
05:15
which increases the fruits of your
05:17
righteousness so my friends give
05:19
diligent effort and specific faith
05:23
focused attention to building your faith
05:27
in the area that God will multiply the
05:30
seed you've sown don't just trust God
05:34
from the perspective that it's just
05:36
providential if God wants to do it he'll
05:38
do it no pull on that scripture pull on
05:41
that word
05:42
believe that word and bring that word
05:45
before God because God watches over his
05:48
word to perform it and God is obligated
05:51
to perform his word based upon his
05:53
integrity so you just bring that word
05:56
before the Lord Lord I believe your word
05:58
because I've proven the other part true
06:00
you have given me seed to sow and Lord
06:03
you gave it and I even sowed it I obeyed
06:05
you now Lord with the same faith I used
06:08
to do that I am using my faith now I'm
06:11
exercising my faith and I'm believing
06:13
that you are multiplying those seeds and
06:16
mighty harvest is coming back into my
06:19
life
06:19
woo glory to God and oftentimes the Holy
06:23
Spirit can even help you be specific
06:25
because as you sow specific seed you can
06:29
talk to the Lord about that for those
06:31
areas where you need specific harvest
06:33
glory to God my friends God wants you to
06:36
be blessed financially so that you're in
06:39
the overflow
06:40
what does the overflow mean it means
06:42
that you're able to accomplish what God
06:45
has called you to do on the earth so
06:48
it's very very important that you allow
06:51
the Holy Spirit to take you into this
06:52
place where you are receiving the
06:54
harvest where you're sowing yes
06:56
but you're also receiving and you're
06:58
reaping the harvest how do we do it we
07:01
do it by faith on purpose not accidental
07:04
on faith we are reaping the harvest
07:06
praise God on faith we believe that God
07:10
is multiplying the seeds we've sown well
07:13
pastor Steven we really shouldn't just
07:15
do that no we should do whatever the
07:17
Bible says woo praise the Lord
07:20
hmm you know some people when I say
07:22
people I'm referring to Christians bless
07:24
their hearts they they they even act
07:27
like and even sometimes even some of
07:29
them say that money is not important but
07:31
have you ever noticed that without money
07:33
in this earth you are almost completely
07:36
helpless in many ways if you don't have
07:39
money you are absolutely defenseless
07:42
from all types of awful things happening
07:45
to you that's why you need money so that
07:48
you have a defense around your life
07:49
you're strong and that you're fortified
07:52
and that you're built up God wants you
07:54
to have provision financial resources he
07:57
wants you to have extra glory to God so
08:00
Bri believe him for it he's going to
08:03
multiply the seed you've sown what is
08:06
the seed those are financial offerings
08:08
he's going to multiply it whew lock into
08:11
this even pray about this pray over say
08:13
father I'm praying over the seeds and
08:15
father I'm believing that you're
08:16
multiplying them right now my harvest is
08:19
coming in now so I want you to really be
08:22
focusing this week in over the next 10
08:26
days even 21 days about God multiplying
08:29
your seed and it manifested in your life
08:31
use your faith specifically for that
08:34
just like a mechanic can take a wrench
08:37
and can tighten a bolt down tighten a
08:40
screw down and can use that tool to do
08:42
that
08:43
use your faith as a tool to bring this
08:46
word into reality in your life now we
08:49

12:10
today in the book of Joel chapter 2 Joel
12:13
chapter 2 and I want to talk about your
12:15
comeback because I know it's time for
12:18
you to experience a great comeback in
12:21
your life glory to God now maybe you're
12:25
not maybe you're not in a position in a
12:27
position where you've been knocked down
12:29
or knocked out maybe you're actually
12:30
doing pretty good but I do know that
12:32
there's a lot of people that have been
12:34
roughed up a little bit lately and you
12:36
need some encouragement and God's ready
12:38
for you to get up and he's gonna do
12:39
something special for you just watch
12:41
what he's going to do hallelujah I want
12:43
to talk about that today for those of
12:45
you that are already doing fine God's
12:47
gonna give more fuel to your fire glory
12:49
to God so let's go today to the book of
12:52
Joel chapter 2 verse 23 and let's pray
12:55
Heavenly Father we ask that your Holy
12:58
Spirit would illuminate the scriptures
13:00
and that your Holy Spirit I pray father
13:02
would fall upon your people today during
13:05
the sermon during the message with great
13:07
revelation and understanding of this now
13:10
word father we give you praise in the
13:13
name of Jesus we thank you for the
13:15
working of your spirit in Jesus name we
13:17
pray we all agree and say amen verse 23
13:21
says be glad then you children of Zion
13:23
that would be you and I and rejoice in
13:26
the Lord your God that's always a good
13:28
thing to do isn't it for he has given
13:30
you the former reign faithfully and he
13:32
will cause the rain to come down for you
13:34
the former rain and the latter rain in
13:37
the first month the threshing floors
13:39
shall be full of wheat and the vats
13:41
shall overflow with new wine and oil
13:44
praise the Lord
13:46
now in Israel you had the reins that
13:49
would come down in the two distinct
13:51
seasons the former season latter season
13:55
and whenever we've taken tours to Israel
13:57
we always tried to go in between those
13:59
seasons because it's not really fun to
14:01
get out and walk around and get rained
14:03
on although it's a soft gentle rain
14:05
we've always tried and have tried to go
14:08
when it wasn't raining nevertheless we
14:09
have been there at times particularly in
14:11
late November where we stayed longer in
14:14
the month of November and we caught that
14:16
latter season and caught those soft
14:18
beautiful rains as well but my friends
14:21
on the rain in the Old Testament was a
14:23
type or shadow or a word picture
14:26
symbology of the Holy Spirit the Holy
14:29
Spirit coming down upon God's people and
14:32
it says that when the Holy Spirit comes
14:33
the threshing floor shall be full of
14:35
wheat and the vats shall overflow with
14:38
new wine and oil God really does want to
14:42
take you into the overflow into the
14:44
place of the new wine the wheat the oil
14:46
the extra the provision the good things
14:48
of God and it's it's carried in by the
14:52
Holy Spirit you're going to be taken
14:54
into these great breaking outs of God by
14:58
the power and the moving of the holy
15:00
spirit verse 25 so I will restore to you
15:04
the years that the swarming locust has
15:07
eaten now the rain coming down the
15:10
Spirit of God falling upon your life
15:12
brings restoration and it doesn't matter
15:15
what the enemy has done the locust and
15:18
the various stages that the locust goes
15:20
through in the various devouring
15:22
categories of what perhaps the enemy has
15:25
done in your life God is able to restore
15:28
what was done over years of decay in
15:30
corruption
15:31
God can restore in a very brief period
15:34
of time
15:34
and to begin to add back add back so
15:36
fast in a compressed period of time that
15:39
it offsets maybe what was even years of
15:43
damage and deterioration so I will
15:46
restore to you the years not just the
15:49
days or the weeks you know you could
15:51
have had a time in your life where you
15:53
know you're moving along but then some
15:54
things happen and some other things
15:56
happen and then maybe discouragement set
15:58
in and then maybe you got a little you
16:00
began to drift a little bit from your
16:02
walk with the Lord and then before you
16:04
know it the gap got wider and then you
16:06
know maybe he just got delusioned and
16:08
those weeks turned into months and next
16:10
thing you know it was a year and for
16:12
some maybe the year turned into five
16:14
years or even eight years and you just
16:17
found yourself like God how did this
16:19
ever happen but you know what the Holy
16:21
Spirit touching you can lift you and
16:23
turn you immediately and the focus no
16:26
longer becomes what the cankerworm has
16:28
done what the palm will worm what the
16:30
locust and his yucky works have done but
16:32
it all now becomes about the glory of
16:34
God
16:35
God working in your life and then
16:37
full-scale restoration beginning to
16:39
touch every facet of your life so what
16:42
happens when God begins to establish
16:45
your comeback what happens when you
16:48
begin to get restored maybe you were
16:50
knocked down knocked out maybe you got
16:52
thrown a loop maybe maybe you went
16:55
through bankruptcy with the business
16:56
maybe you went through a divorce maybe
16:58
you had some collapse of your best
17:01
friends
17:02
these are all things that Jesus as the
17:05
man of sorrows can identify with and he
17:08
can understand the pain of the human
17:09
race and the the tragedies and the
17:12
traumas and the difficulties that people
17:14
can go through down here so the Lord
17:16
sees that and he's ready to heal he was
17:19
ready to bind up any wound and he's
17:21
ready to restore my friends let me tell
17:23
you God can do a quick work and God can
17:26
work in you so fast and can heal you so
17:28
quick that your joy is just restored in
17:32
a moment praise God hallelujah it says
17:35
so I will restore to you the years that
17:38
the swarming locust has eaten I'm here
17:40
to declare to you today that it's now
17:43
time for your comeback get ready my
17:46
friends it says in verse 26
17:48
you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied
17:50
and praise the name of the Lord your God
17:53
who has dealt wondrously with you and my
17:56
people shall never be put to shame and
17:58
so what the Lord Jesus is going to do by
18:00
the power of His Holy Spirit
18:02
he's ought to get every form of shame
18:03
off of your life he's also going to
18:06
reveal to you
18:07
areas of maybe even I would call it
18:11
religious bondage of weighty burdens
18:14
Paul addressed these things in a book of
18:16
Galatians in dealing what would be
18:19
called legalism these things where
18:21
people get under the law and then they
18:22
begin to lose their joy they begin to
18:24
lose the the the reality in the beauty

God has on his heart to make sure that

that you have luggage that you're taking

19:14
mess of things
19:15
God is so good that if you let him and

19:19
follow him he'll begin to restore so

19:36

19:37
lot of you your Samsung or I iPhone or
19:40
whatever makes you happy or pen and
19:43
paper and write it down today is today
19:45
of my comeback
19:47
write it down look you'll be able to
19:48
look three months from now you'll look
19:50
back maybe a year you'll look back and
19:52
you'll say yep there was a turn there
19:54
was a turn that happened that begin to
19:55
unfold and take place on the day that
19:57
Pastor Steven teach or taught that
20:00
message about my
20:02
come back praise God so get ready I want
20:04
to talk about some areas of restoration
20:06
in your life when God begins to
20:08
establish you in your comeback and the
20:12
first thing that begins to happen is
20:13
begins to remove all shame off of your
20:15
life and that's what he's able to do
20:17
because He shed his blood for you and
20:20
the blood of Jesus really is that
20:23
powerful it says in the in the Bible
20:25
that where sin abounds this would be of
20:27
course the book of Romans where sin
20:29
abounds grace much more abounds and
20:32
really it actually says in the Greek in
20:35
it says and even some on top of that
20:37
whew it's incredible
20:39
get the Wiest translation read through
20:41
Romans chapter 8 some time very slowly
20:43
particularly the latter part of that
20:45
chapter we spelled w EST it's a real
20:49
theologians Bible that's really thick
20:50
it's the New Testament but it's expanded
20:53
Greek and it's about that thick
20:54
but whew man you talking about really
20:57
understanding what Jesus did for you and
20:59
I have the cross it is powerful what he
21:02
did through the shed shedding of his
21:04
blood and his blood can deal with
21:06
anything so he's able to wash it away
21:08
and he's able to cleanse you and he
21:11
forgets about it and we need to be able
21:12
to do the same thing and just take that
21:14
promise by faith and forget about it and
21:16
go on and don't let the enemy put guilt
21:19
or shame on your life when it has been
21:21
confessed repented of and washed away
21:24
with the blood of Jesus praise God
21:27
forever amen
21:28
all right let's go to the book of James
21:30
chapter 4 because the first thing that
21:35
God wants to see the comeback is in the
21:37
area of your walk with him there should
21:41
never be a season in your life where you
21:44
what you think Lord you know twenty
21:46
years ago I was closer to you then than
21:48
what I am today
21:49
or you know Lord ten years ago you had I
21:51
really had it going on and things aren't
21:53
going too well right now my friends God
21:55
wants to close that gap quickly swiftly
21:57
and he is well able to do that and this
22:00
first I'm about to share with you works
22:02
so good so fast you might be surprised
22:06
this is James chapter 4 verse 8 this is
22:09
a verse that I actually heard I believe
22:12
it was an angel because the voice was on
22:15
the outside
22:15
it was an internal which would have been
22:17
the Holy Spirit but this was a voice
22:19
that was external and an angel spoke
22:21
this to me so this was the first time I
22:24
ever heard what we would call a
22:26
supernatural voice is when God sent an
22:29
angel into a room and to where I was at
22:32
into the mid room and I actually heard
22:33
this scripture quoted out loud and it
22:36
says draw near to God and He will draw
22:38
near to you draw near to God and He will
22:45
draw near to you so this is what God is
22:47
saying you make the first step and if
22:49
you make that step I'll guarantee you
22:51
God will do his part and the thing is is
22:54
that when you begin drawing near to God
22:56
he really does come he really does come
22:59
so the hunger you are then he'll match
23:02
that with his hunger and if you get
23:05
hungry or still and stronger still he'll
23:07
match that also so this this thing of a
23:11
love walk love relationship you have a
23:13
lot to do do with that that depends upon
23:17
your hunger your spiritual thirst so
23:19
just really go after the Lord let that
23:21
may restore it and God wants that
23:23
restore God watch you walk in super
23:25
super close with him and he says draw
23:28
near to God and He will draw near to you
23:30
take that promise today and just say
23:32
Lord I'll do that Lord if you'll do your
23:34
part and I really believe you will Lord
23:36
I'll do mine so get up early and pray
23:39
spend time with the Lord and you'll see
23:42
God begin to draw near to you you know
23:45
in the proof in the perfume industry
23:46
when they're extracting the oil from the
23:50
flowers they have to collect those
23:52
flowers very early in the morning while
23:54
the dew is still on the roses
23:57
because if they get the flowers later
23:59
and the dew has evaporated and the Sun's
24:01
up the quality of the roses will not be
24:05
as good so they know that in the perfume
24:07
industry well that's the same thing in
24:09
your walk with God if you want to get
24:12
into that area where it's easier to get
24:15
into the presence of the Lord then get
24:17
up early get up early spend time with
24:19
the Lord while the dew is still on the
24:22
roses to do speaking of the anointing
24:24
okay and it's easier to get into you
24:27
know the Rose is speaking of the
24:29
relationship with the Lord it's easier
24:31
to get into the presence of the Lord
24:32
during that time because you and I both
24:34
know when the day starts we'll all busy
24:37
and we're all going full-speed and it's
24:39
a little difficult sometimes to put the
24:40
brakes on now we can still do that and
24:42
still pray and that's fine have prayer
24:45
time throughout the day and also maybe
24:47
even pray in the evening that's all good
24:49
but everything my friends goes a whole
24:51
lot better if you'll just get up early
24:53
spend time with the Lord so draw near to
24:55
the Lord and he will not he might he
24:58
will draw near to you praise God thank
25:02
you Lord Jesus yes it's time for your
25:04
comeback it begins now draw near to the
25:07
Lord and you're going to encounter the
25:09
Lord drawing very near to you you know
25:11
when he draws near this is not something
25:12
that takes him six months to do six
25:14
weeks to do I mean I'm talking like a
25:17
one day turnaround I mean the next day
25:20
that you implement this or the very day
25:22
that you do this you will notice that
25:24
God will respond
25:26
praise the Lord so my friends draw near
25:29
to the Lord and establish your comeback
25:31
today number two God wants you to
25:34
experience a comeback God wants to
25:36
excute to experience restoration in your
25:40
health while we're on this earth we live
25:44
in a body and the body that we live in
25:47
is like a house that you stay in and
25:50
you've probably noticed that if you own
25:52
a home you have to maintain it now if
25:55
you rent or lease you know that's gonna
25:57
be the home owners responsibility to
26:00
oversee the plumbing the HVAC system and
26:02
the water heater and things like that
26:04
but as you being the owner of your body
26:08
in your body belonging to you you are
26:11
the one that's responsible for the
26:13
maintenance and a lot of things I don't
26:15
know why it is it's like they have a
26:16
life cycle in your house of like 12
26:18
years they can last longer but usually
26:20
after 12 years a water heater is pretty
26:23
much shot it's not gonna do very well
26:25
now you have it if you have the the
26:26
tankless water heaters like they have in
26:28
Europe you know those are lasts for 30
26:30
years but here in America after 12 years
26:32
you know most water heaters are going to
26:34
have that much sediment built up in the
26:36
bottom and so their ability to heat the
26:38
water you know
26:39
it's just the quality of that's going to
26:41
go down so what do you have to do get a
26:43
new water heater in that's just part of
26:44
maintenance and you know the HVAC system
26:47
heating and cooling system seems like
26:49
every 12 years you know those things you
26:52
have to replace certain parts of that
26:54
sometimes the whole thing but you know
26:57
what that's just part of taking care of
26:59
the home of your home my friends you
27:01
have to take care of your body if your
27:03
body is running good and we'll make
27:05
every part of your life easier but if
27:08
your body begins to go down on you it's
27:10
gonna make everything that you're
27:12
supposed to do difficult so God by the
27:15
power and the anointing of the holy
27:17
spirit wants to establish you with a
27:19
comeback in your hell
27:21
praise God it's time to get up and get
27:24
moving praise God my friends you need to
27:26
take care of your body and watch and be
27:29
careful of the things you eat do some
27:31
exercise move around take care of
27:33
yourself be happy praise the Lord
27:35
laugh a lot and enjoy the Lord and take
27:38
care of your body now we have the
27:41
promise of the Lord in Exodus chapter 15
27:45
verse 26 if you diligently heed the
27:49
voice of the Lord your God and do what
27:51
is right in his sight give ear to His
27:53
commandments and keep all his statutes I
27:56
will put none of these diseases excuse
27:59
me I will put none of the diseases on
28:01
you which I have brought on the
28:03
Egyptians for I am the Lord who heals
28:05
you now when it says I am the Lord who
28:07
heals you that is a revelation of one of
28:11
the compound names of God revealed in
28:13
the Hebrew as the Lord basically saying
28:16
my name is Jehovah Rapha I am the Lord
28:19
God who is your healer now I am the Lord
28:23
who heals you so God has not changed his
28:27
name he is still your healer and God
28:30
wants your body healthy now believe him
28:33
and worship him and say Lord I
28:36
established in my comeback that my
28:38
health is being restored praise the Lord
28:41
you know what I know that along with
28:44
aging you know we can go through these
28:47
things for our bodies you know
28:49
particularly when you get older that
28:50
they're not going to feel the way you
28:52
that when you're a teenager but even
28:54
still with your body getting older
28:56
doesn't mean that you have to just let
28:57
it go and you know accept pain as
29:00
something normal because you don't have
29:01
to do that any type of strength training
29:03
exercise is very very good for your body
29:06
and they have proven that if you'll just
29:09
do strength training exercises walkies
29:11
really good but if you'll do strength
29:13
training exercises you don't have to get
29:15
all flabby and your bones don't have to
29:16
get all brittle you can stay strong
29:18
they've they have proven it in studies
29:20
on gorillas and you know you can look at
29:22
these gorillas they're these you know
29:24
very strong animals but even when they
29:26
get really really old and even when
29:29
they've lived their life out full term
29:30
even at their final stages of their life
29:32
they still have all of all of their
29:34
muscle mass well if you'll just kind of
29:36
keep swinging around and moving some
29:38
things around like they do you'll find
29:41
that you can also maintain your health
29:43
now eventually we will reach the end of
29:46
our life should the Lord tarry and we'll
29:48
go home to be with the Lord but you
29:49
don't have to go home all broken down
29:51
you know just like you know everything's
29:53
just kind of like nothing's working
29:55
anymore eventually you know if you get
29:57
to the end of the line you can just you
29:59
know it's your time to go and you just
30:01
die but you don't have to die because
30:03
you know just everything fell apart
30:04
praise the Lord
30:05
God wants you to have a quality of
30:07
health so that you can not only do what
30:10
you're called to do but you could enjoy
30:13
life while you're here on the earth you
30:16
and I both know that if you're sick and
30:19
you have a lot of medical problems you
30:22
are restricted even in your ability to
30:24
travel but there's many of you that not
30:26
only do you want to travel
30:27
God has assignments for you you're going
30:29
to be able to you're going to need to be
30:31
able to travel so you're going to need
30:33
your health praise God
30:35
and let me say this I believe also your
30:38
health is an area of your dignity and
30:42
just like the Lord Jesus did not want to
30:44
see blind Bartimaeus
30:46
sitting in there on the dirt that's just
30:50
something wrong about a man sitting on
30:52
the dirt all day long
30:54
that that's dishonorable I know he's
30:56
blind I know that he can't work I didn't
30:59
know that
30:59
that's his handicapped condition but
31:02
look the Lord he wants to bring you into
31:04
a place
31:05
there is dignity in your life where he
31:07
raises you up and that can include the
31:11
healing of your body
31:13
praise God so allow the Lord to be your
31:16
Jehovah Rapha your healer and worship
31:18
him and as your healer and receive him
31:21
into your life and celebrate him in your
31:24
life as your healer and somebody says
31:26
what God doesn't do that anymore well
31:28
then you're gonna have to say no you're
31:29
gonna have to find me
31:30
where in the Bible it says that God has
31:32
now changed his name because it's
31:35
there's nowhere in the Bible that says
31:37
God changed his name and he's no longer
31:38
the God who heals he doesn't heal he
31:41
doesn't his covenant people anymore nope
31:43
that's still his name he's still the God
31:45
who heals you praise the Lord
31:48
glory to God and yes as a new covenant
31:50
believer healing is included in the
31:53
Covenant that Jesus purchased for us at
31:55
Calvary praise God healing in your
31:59
comeback get ready to step into the
32:02
prime health for your life you know
32:05
Caleb said to Joshua he said look he
32:07
said I'm just as strong now as I was you
32:09
know 40 years ago he said give me my
32:12
mountain what did that mean
32:13
it meant that his assignment required
32:18
him to be in good health you can't go up
32:21
the mountain in a wheelchair praise the
32:26
Lord
32:27
glory to God you're gonna need your
32:30
health praise God
32:31
you're gonna need your health praise the
32:33
Lord mm-hmm thank you Lord Jesus thank
32:38
you Lord Jesus
32:40
Pastor Steven I'm just waiting to retire
32:43
and then I can just sit around and you
32:45
know sit on the couch and watch TV all
32:47
day and relax look if you do that you
32:50
know and you you retire at 70 and you
32:53
know and you know by the time you're 80
32:54
you're you're gonna be so arthritic
32:56
they're gonna be so locked up in all of
32:58
your joints because you're just sitting
33:00
there you turn into a couch potato you
33:01
don't need to do that you need to stay
33:03
active you need to be you need to be
33:05
busy about the things of God and you
33:07
need to have movement in your life
33:09
praise the Lord
33:10
and I really don't agree with this
33:12
concept of retirement especially for
33:14
those that are called into the ministry
33:16
you know on
33:18
bill Hammond just a few days ago he said
33:20
he said you know what he said I have
33:24
just made up my mind and I'm never going
33:25
to retire now he's one of the greatest
33:27
prophets in the world he said I'm just
33:28
not going to retire and I think he's 86
33:31
85 or 86 years old now and he said I'm
33:34
gonna go out with my boots on so in in
33:38
the large conference that he was hosting
33:40
he actually took all of the money out of
33:44
his retirement account and he sewed it
33:46
into the work of the Lord because he
33:48
said you know what he said I had that
33:50
money in my retirement account and he
33:51
said I just had a little talk with the
33:52
Lord and he said I'm already in my 80s
33:54
I'm 86 years old he said what I'm gonna
33:56
retire and do he said I'm just going to
33:58
keep on serving the Lord he said I'm
33:59
never gonna retire he said I'm going out
34:01
with my boots on and some of you you
34:04
need to be the same way but you know
34:06
what you're gonna need your health to do
34:07
that may the Lord bring you intent into
34:10
that area of wholeness where your
34:12
comeback
34:13
is firmly established with the full
34:15
restoration of your health you're going
34:17
to need it to go up the mountain praise
34:19
God and God's gonna do it for you the
34:21
rain of the Spirit is falling on you
34:23
right now you know more cirillo
34:25
is at the point where that great
34:30
ministry center that they're building in
34:32
San Diego I know the land but just to
34:34
land alone cost 18 million dollars but
34:37
it's a beautiful facility because you
34:38
know what he knows he's not going to be
34:40
here much longer so he wants to build a
34:43
center that when he's gone and his life
34:46
is ended he's in heaven that there there
34:48
is a there is a center there is a
34:50
facility on the earth that has still
34:52
actively involved in winning souls so he
34:55
has poured his life into that and you
34:57
know he said he had an encounter with
34:59
the Lord now he's also way up there in
35:01
his eighties and you would think well
35:02
he's done enough he's let enough people
35:04
to the Lord he's trained up enough
35:06
missionaries he should just sit back and
35:08
relax but you know what he said that he
35:10
had an encounter with the Lord and even
35:13
his old age you know what the Lord told
35:15
him he said the Lord told him prophets
35:19
don't retire whoa Oh glory to God that
35:25
you've got you have some people they
35:26
don't have an interest in God or the
35:27
things of God all they want to do is
35:29
retire and go out hit a golf ball
35:31
you'll have all heaven you'll have all
35:34
eternity in heaven they hit a golf ball
35:36
right now lock in with the Lord
35:38
hallelujah and just say Lord I'm giving
35:40
you my best Lord this is my hour this is
35:42
my comeback and I'm running with you
35:45
Lord this is the best time of my life
35:46
lord I want my health and Lord I'm just
35:49
gonna I'm just gonna run with you for
35:50
the rest of my life until I just I just
35:52
fall over and I and I'm done or until
35:54
Jesus comes back and we're taking up the
35:58
me diamond in the clouds of the air
36:00
praise God
36:01
but either way either way may full
36:04
health be restored to you be happy today
36:07
the Spirit is falling on you praise God
36:11
now also the Lord wants to touch the
36:16
area of your finances because this is
36:19
going to be a major area of a comeback
36:21
in your life maybe there's been
36:22
financial frustration maybe there has
36:24
been even shame in the area of your
36:27
finances but the Lord is removing all of
36:29
that and maybe even people that have
36:30
laughed or mocked at you maybe because
36:32
you drove an old clunker but that's the
36:34
best you could do or maybe because you
36:36
haven't even had a vehicle but but you
36:39
know what you just kept on serving the
36:40
Lord you know what you're gonna see God
36:42
honoring you you're gonna see God bless
36:44
you because God's gonna begin to move
36:46
you forward Micah chapter 4 verse 4 but
36:50
every one every one he's speaking to the
36:52
children of God but every one shall sit
36:55
under his vine and under his fig tree
36:59
and no one shall make them afraid now
37:02
this was a proverb in Israel that was
37:05
established this same was established
37:07
during the days of Solomon because
37:09
Solomon he brought forth of rain of such
37:13
peace economic stability there were no
37:16
wars and there was also tremendous
37:19
prosperity in the land and this became
37:21
known in his day as a proverb that
37:23
everyone shall sit under his vine and
37:25
under his fig tree and no one shall make
37:28
them afraid for the mouth of the Lord
37:30
has spoken and this mica is saying is a
37:35
time of restoration for God's people
37:37
because what was lost after the kingdom
37:40
was split after the death of Solomon and
37:42
his
37:43
Sutton comes forth and in the kingdom is
37:45
split and then later Israel and Judah go
37:48
in the captivity but Micah says there's
37:50
this time well God will restore again
37:53
and everyone shall sit under his vine
37:55
and under his fig tree look God's going
37:57
to establish you financially and God's
37:59
going to bring you to a place of
38:00
comeback restoration where you have your
38:03
own house you have your own vine
38:05
you have your own victory you have your
38:07
own blessing and God will be so good
38:09
that he'll even give you a debt-free
38:10
home if you believe in for it shout and
38:13
say a man by the way those anointings
38:17
for debt freedom you have to catch those
38:19
those still I would call it I would call
38:23
it rare but it's gonna become less
38:25
forever because God's going to really
38:26
begin to move in this area but be
38:28
looking for that if you ever catch that
38:30
moment for a debt freedom debt
38:32
cancelling the anointing and it's really
38:34
of the Holy Spirit you should jump on
38:36
that now I know some people they that
38:39
you know that can I say that that has
38:42
been worked at times where the Spirit of
38:45
God wasn't really in it people have sown
38:47
and they didn't really receive maybe a
38:49
debt cancelling type of thing but when
38:52
the spirits really moving oftentimes
38:55
when that when he's moving intentionally
38:57
anointing a lot of people don't know
38:58
what to do they just sit there but if
39:00
that happens you have to respond by the
39:02
spirit and do it quickly because it
39:04
really will work there is such a thing
39:06
as a supernatural debt cancelling an
39:08
anointing with the power of God moves
39:10
and angels are released and miracles
39:12
happen financially the next thing you
39:14
know you've got a house you just paid it
39:16
off praise the Lord is it miraculous yes
39:18
but God wants to establish you where you
39:21
sit under your own vine and under your
39:24
own fig tree grew Lori to God God wants
39:27
you to be an emblem of prosperity
39:28
hallelujah no shame no shame established
39:32
very very strong in this area and the
39:34
comeback is already beginning to work
39:36
the Spirit of God is working in your
39:38
life right now you know what you have a
39:39
lot more wisdom right now than you've
39:41
ever had before you're a different
39:43
person than what you were ten years five
39:45
years ago even five months ago this time
39:48
you're going to get it right the Spirit
39:50
of God is going to move in such a
39:51
beautiful way you know that's the thing
39:53
about youth where it almost seems
39:56
unfazed
39:57
because in the youth when you're young
39:59
you have all the strength you have all
40:02
of this energy you you you know
40:03
everything's kind of just like rolling
40:05
along but you don't yet have that wisdom
40:09
that comes with maturity and comes with
40:11
walking with God but later by the time
40:13
you get it it seems like well Lord yeah
40:16
I've lost a lot of the things that would
40:18
make the wisdom now enjoyable ah that's
40:21
why you need the restoration that's why
40:23
you need the reins to follow up on your
40:25
life that's why you need that comeback
40:27
moment because God's gonna bring it all
40:29
back and it's going to be better than
40:30
what it was before you'll have the
40:32
strength the energy the vitality the
40:34
anointing and you'll also have the
40:36
wisdom so you appropriate and do things
40:40
the right way there is a divine order
40:42
divine divinely established order of all
40:45
that you do what is order it's the
40:47
proper arrangement of things everything
40:50
in your life in the right place all of
40:52
your finances in order
40:54
praise the Lord this is very exciting
40:56
now God also in this area of the
40:59
comeback in this area of you being
41:02
restored wants the anointing to be
41:05
stronger on your life now than it ever
41:08
has been before praise the Lord you know
41:11
a minister should not look back and
41:13
think well you know the anointing was
41:15
stronger 20 years ago no we should have
41:18
stronger now and we should be moving
41:20
ahead into the greater glory but there
41:23
are times when there have been things
41:25
that have disrupted it there have been
41:27
things that got in there as it talks
41:29
about the little flies that could spoil
41:31
the anointing but my friends the Holy
41:34
Spirit is removing all of those things
41:36
all of those things so that your
41:39
comeback moment will not be spoiled at
41:42
what's going to happen is you will be
41:43
established in victory and then you're
41:46
going to go on from victory to victory
41:47
to victory praise God and your comeback
41:50
will be permanent praise the Lord thank
41:53
you Lord Jesus
41:54
the book of Judges the book of Judges
41:57
chapter 16
41:59
praise the Lord somebody's about to get
42:02
a miracle job you've needed employment
42:05
you you need a good job you're bought
42:08
you're about to land a whopper job
42:09
praise God
42:11
it's going to have been worth the wait
42:13
because they're gonna see you're worth
42:15
your wait the as they said back in the
42:19
Roman days you're worth your weight and
42:21
salt because believe it or not back in
42:24
the old days they would pay you with
42:26
with coinage but they would also pay you
42:28
in salt because salt was very rare back
42:30
then well it's not rare today you know
42:32
two salts on every restaurant table that
42:35
you go to at any restaurant but that
42:36
used to not be the case but I hear the
42:39
Holy Spirit saying that they're gonna
42:41
see they're going to know somehow
42:43
perceived that you're worth your weight
42:44
in salt and you're gonna get that
42:46
weighty job praise the Lord
42:48
now receive that if that's somebody that
42:50
needs a miracle breakthrough job receive
42:52
it in the name of Jesus I've always had
42:55
an anointing to pray for people to get
42:57
miracle jobs and I released that right
42:59
now if you need it receive it right now
43:01
in Jesus name be looking for it be
43:04
looking for it praise God
43:05
thank you Lord Jesus now we're in the
43:08
book of Judges chapter 16 chapter 16 and
43:13
this would be verse 21 since they bound
43:17
him with bronze feathers this would be
43:19
referring to Samson and he became a
43:21
grinder in the prison
43:22
well that's knocked down and knocked out
43:25
eyes gouged out he's in a bad place
43:28
verse 22 however the hair of his head
43:33
begin to grow again after it had been
43:36
shaven well the hair the outward symbol
43:41
of one of the outward symbols that is of
43:44
the Nazarite valve the hair is now
43:47
growing back what's what's going on the
43:50
anointing is coming back there in that
43:53
prison house as he's grinding there has
43:56
been repentance there has been you know
44:00
a lot of thinking about how he had it
44:02
but lost it and the wisdom of God the
44:07
maturity of God of God begins to settle
44:09
in his heart and the anointing is coming
44:12
back upon him and it's going to be an
44:14
anointing that's stronger than what he
44:16
had had before however the hair of his
44:19
head began to grow again after it had
44:21
been shaven now the Lords of the
44:23
Philistines gathered together
44:24
to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon
44:27
their God and to rejoice they said our
44:29
God has delivered into our hands Simpson
44:31
our enemy well they can have their
44:34
little fun moment it's about the end in
44:36
just a few minutes the whole thing's
44:38
gonna be turned that verse 27 now the
44:41
temple was full of men and women all the
44:43
Lords of the Philistines were there
44:45
about three thousand men and women on
44:48
the roof watching Samson while Samson
44:51
performed then Samson called to the Lord
44:54
saying O Lord God remembered me I pray
44:56
strengthen me I pray just this once so
44:58
God that I may with one blow take
45:01
vengeance on the Philistines for my two
45:02
eyes and Samson took hold of the two
45:05
middle pillars which supported the
45:07
temple and he braced himself against
45:08
them well it is right and the other one
45:10
is left then Samson said that me died
45:12
with the Philistines and he pushed with
45:14
all his might and the temple fell on the
45:17
Lord's and all the people who were in it
45:19
so the dead that he killed that his
45:22
death were more than he had killed in
45:25
his life your greatest victories are not
45:27
behind you your greatest victories are
45:29
here now step into it by faith your
45:33
hair's growing back whoa hallelujah and
45:36
you don't have to have a temple
45:37
following you and collapse on you in
45:39
your life and no God will extend your
45:42
life God's grace and mercy or on your
45:44
life the anointing comes on you now
45:47
hallelujah receive the anointing receive
45:50
the pleasant former and latter rains
45:52
combined together falling upon you the
45:55
rain of the Spirit coming upon you glory
45:57
to God everything that the locust is
45:59
eaten is being brought back hallelujah
46:02
your harvest is sweeping into your life
46:04
everything is being made beautiful and
46:06
the sacred anointing the oil of the
46:09
Spirit is being restored even to a
46:11
greater degree than ever before praise
46:15
the Lord
46:15
another thing that's being restored very
46:18
clearly because the spirits falling and
46:21
when the spirit falls he brings very
46:23
clear revelation I would call it
46:25
prophetic Eagle vision and we actually
46:28
see this in the book of Proverbs chapter
46:30
29 verse 18 it says where there is no
46:34
revelation the people cast off restraint
46:38
the word revelation in the Hebrew
46:41
actually refers to vision but it
46:43
actually is denoted in the Hebrew that
46:45
is actually a prophetic type vision so
46:48
this would be like the eagle so that you
46:50
know what God's plan for you is and you
46:52
see very clearly what is a vision a
46:55
vision is a focused and clear plan of
46:57
what you're going to accomplish praise
47:01
the Lord it says where there is no
47:03
revelation or prophetic vision the
47:05
people cast off restraint the King James
47:08
Version says the people perish both
47:11
translations are active the people
47:13
perish because there's no vision the
47:15
people cast off restraint because there
47:18
is no revision there is no vision but
47:21
the word perish or the word casting off
47:24
restraint in Hebrew is the word para and
47:27
it actually this is beautiful this the
47:31
symbolism here in the Hebrew this
47:32
actually refers to a woman's hair when
47:36
the woman takes the the veil off of her
47:38
hair what we would call like a hair band
47:42
and she removes that out in the wind and
47:45
just lets her long hair blue in the wind
47:47
what happened is you know the wind's
47:49
blowing her hair all over the place and
47:50
that's what is being portrayed here
47:52
where there is no vision it's like your
47:55
hair is just blown in all different
47:57
directions and you don't know what to do
47:59
you don't know where to go there you're
48:00
pulled in all of these different
48:02
directions and so when there is no
48:04
prophetic vision the people cast off
48:07
restraint they're just like we don't
48:08
know what to do we don't know where to
48:10
go but see when the rate of the spirit
48:12
falls it brings clarity and the the
48:15
clouds are dispelled off of your life
48:18
and my friends that's a great indicator
48:20
that your comeback is rolling praise God
48:23
and you'll never touch shame again and
48:25
you'll never fall again you're up this
48:27
time and God's gonna release the grace
48:29
to keep you up claim this day claim this
48:33
moment as you're a moment of comeback
48:35
praise the Lord because the Holy Spirit
48:37
is helping you now there's one final
48:40
thing that seals your comeback and
48:44
establishes you in the perpetual 'ti of
48:47
this as an ongoing triumphant experience
48:50
in Christ
48:52
and this is found in the book of
48:53
Philippians chapter 3 and let's turn
48:56
there right now Philippians chapter 3
48:58
these would be the words of the great
49:00
Apostle Paul brethren I do not count
49:03
myself too apt to have apprehended but
49:07
one thing I do forgetting those things
49:10
which are behind and reaching forward to
49:13
those things which are ahead I press
49:17
toward the goal for the prize of the
49:19
upward call of God in Christ Jesus now
49:21
what is the word that would be the key
49:24
word here in this powerful statement it
49:26
would be the word forgetting and in the
49:28
Greek it actually if you read it in the
49:31
expanded Greek it actually says
49:32
forgetting completely those things which
49:36
are behind pastor Steve and I seem like
49:39
I'm dogged by my failures it seems like
49:42
the past mistakes just they just kind of
49:44
start to resurface but you know what
49:46
Paul had to actively focus on forgetting
49:51
the things that were behind and focus on
49:53
the the plan the prize the purpose that
49:57
God had for his life and I think I think
50:00
at times it was a challenge because he
50:02
murdered Christians he tortured
50:06
Christians he tore apart Christian
50:09
families he in a sense was a terrorist
50:12
and did many things to hinder the gospel
50:16
of the Lord Jesus Christ and so those
50:18
those memories maybe even running into
50:21
people later in his life that had maybe
50:23
suffered maybe for certain family
50:25
members that had suffered I you know was
50:26
reading the biography of a Christian
50:29
minister before he got saved he was a
50:32
terrorist and he murdered many many
50:35
people actually several thousand people
50:38
not all at once but just over the course
50:40
of years he just he traumatized and
50:43
murdered and he was just a walking
50:45
terror and he had a vision from the Lord
50:48
and the Lord told if you don't repent
50:50
right now this is your last chance and
50:53
you will go to hell before the day is
50:55
over because he was caught up in a war
50:57
and he was being closed closed in on and
51:00
he had just murdered many people over
51:02
the years and but you know some
51:06
the Lord knew his future and the Lord
51:08
wanted his soul the Lord wanted him and
51:10
he said this is your last opportunity to
51:13
receive me and you know what he got his
51:15
life right with God but you know after
51:19
he was saved and began to evangelize and
51:21
win people to the Lord he met many of
51:24
the family members you know that he met
51:26
parents of children that he had killed
51:28
and he would he would have to follow up
51:30
their feet weeping and apologize and
51:32
tell them how much he loved them and how
51:34
repentant and how sorrowful he was and
51:36
you know what I think
51:38
the Apostle Paul probably ran into some
51:40
of those things but he also had to
51:41
reefer get because also Jesus has washed
51:45
all of his sins away so that's something
51:48
that you also have to be mindful of you
51:50
have to go on there's a balance there
51:52
but the Lord removes all the shame
51:55
absolutely he removes all the shame his
51:58
blood has washed it all all the way and
52:00
Jesus has forgiven and forgotten it and
52:03
that's what he's done for you also so
52:05
focus on that and remember that in order
52:08
to step fully into your breakthrough
52:10
moment and stay up and stay going you're
52:13
going to have to not keep looking back
52:15
not keep looking in the rearview mirror
52:16
but you're gonna have to forget
52:18
completely those things which are behind
52:20
and reach forward to those things which
52:23
are ahead because by the way the things
52:25
that are ahead they're better and it's
52:27
going to get sweeter and sweeter every
52:30
day what Jesus gets sweeter and sweeter
52:31
and you're gonna come into new places
52:34
new realms of blessing that God has
52:37
intended all along to get you to and
52:39
you're so close you're so close so it's
52:42
time to get up it's time to get moving
52:44
because the time for your comeback is
52:46
now and I release that anointing upon
52:49
your life right now if you want to step
52:50
into your comeback moment just lift your
52:52
hands up right now Heavenly Father I
52:55

57:56
glory to the Lord now concerning the
58:00
facet of the clarity of your vision now
58:04
being restored and this being part of
58:06
the plan the plan of your comeback
58:09
because you have to plan your comeback
58:11
because God's going to bring restoration
58:12
these various areas concerning your
58:15
vision talk it over with the Lord
58:17
because I believe revelation is flowing
58:19
so that now that the the vision is
58:21
refined it's clear when God's people
58:24
don't have a vision but they don't have
58:28
prophetic vision they perish or they
58:30
cast off restraint their hair is blown
58:32
in the wind and they don't know which
58:33
direction to go but because the oil of
58:36
the Spirit is flowing right now that
58:38
means that the spirit of wisdom and
58:39
revelation is being released and you
58:41
have a very keen insight now into what
58:44
God wants you to do now follow that path
58:47
plan for that path and pursue that right
58:51
now and that combat will be permanently
58:54
sustained praise God praise the Lord
58:58
just take some time to talk it over with
58:59
the Lord if you're married talk it over
59:01
with your spouse talk
59:02
your vision maybe go over it a B C D
59:06
write it down and say this is what we're
59:08
going to do this is this is God's path
59:10
and plan and do it how to Lou you watch
