good morning church family and
ministry friends i'm pastor stephen
brooks welcome today to our online
internet around the world church service
i'm so happy
that you're here today and i believe
that god's word
is able to strengthen you to do all that
he's called you to do
and very importantly it's able to
empower you to be the person that god
has called you
to be praise the lord let's take our
bibles and go
to mark chapter 4
and we're going to be in verse 8. mark 4
verse 8 we're going to receive the
tithes and offerings
let's look at a scripture that will give
us understanding
into god's desire to bless your finances
but other seed fell on good ground and
yielded a crop
that sprang up increased and produced
some 30-fold some 60
and some a hundred
praise the lord now let me share some
beautiful news
over the last couple of days i tallied
together
all of the giving for the pentecost pure
gold offering
every bit of provision that came in
online
through the internet giving every bit
that came in through the mail
and it would when it was all put
together
all processed and the the final numbers
were looked at
the final number was exactly
the number that god told me to believe
for
two months ago two months ago
the lord told me to prepare for a
special pentecost offering
for pure gold i began to pray towards it
and then about a month ago i shared that
with you
and this number was a lofty number but
by god's grace
we have reached that number we've
actually now have gone over it by a few
thousand dollars
but my friends the lord told me that he
would touch the hearts of his people
and that we would reach that number we
did it praise god now that
sh that reveals something very special
to me that i would like to share with
you first of all
the fact that we hit that number so
approximately
i mean we we just nailed it tells me
that those of you that sowed did exactly
what the holy spirit directed you to do
it is very important as believers to
understand
that god cannot honor disobedience
in other words if he prompts a believer
to give a certain amount of money if the
holy spirit moves upon your heart and
you sense this is the amount that you're
supposed to give let's say it's 150
but instead of giving the 150 that the
holy spirit is impressing you to give
you give 75. you have to understand god
cannot bless
that 75 why because he told you to give
a different amount
so he cannot bless it because if he did
he would sanction
disobedience and he can't do that so
the fact that we hit that number so
approximately
and have gone over even a little bit
because god loves to cheer forgivers
that's that's the ones that when the
holy spirit speaks to do something
they're so happy to do it they even give
more
and of course god god receives that with
open arms
and those are those are the cheerful
givers
but so many of you you have obeyed
with specific precision
what does that do that has positioned
you to receive
the 100 fold return what is that
that's god's very best multiplied back
into your life
now i was wanting to share
point number one which is that you are
now positioned to receive the 100-fold
return
because you have done what the holy
spirit said to do
number two i want you to
be ready to expect your harvest
to come in praise god anytime
god multiplies an offering and he brings
that back
to you multiplied there is a miracle
in that and the harvest that's coming
back to you
is financial increase and there's a
million different ways
god can do that in your life you
understand there's a lot of different
ways god's gonna
he he can do it but i need you to
understand that your harvest
is financial increase the reason why
is that the holy spirit gave me a vision
and i saw that those that would sow
into the pentecost offering for the pure
gold television program
i saw golden oil being poured on those
those people and i said i said what is
that
what kind of oil is that and
the lord showed me it's the golden oil
of prosperity
so that is being poured over your
offering over your seed
your harvest is coming it will be
miraculous and it will be
in a financial nature you need to ex
be ready because a new level of
prosperity is coming to you
and it will be the 100-fold miracle
blessing
be expecting it be praising god for it
be looking for it
because it's coming it's coming you have
done exactly what god required of you
and your harvest is on the way praise
god
be sure to give god all of the praise
and i tell you i'm expecting some
phenomenal testimonies
and i know that i'm going to hear from
you oh
praise the lord
[Music]
glory to god praise the lord
so let us now honor the lord
with our tithes and with offerings
we step into the canaan land of blessing
but we're not just there as tourists
we're there to stay
we're there to take our possessions and
to receive what god has for us
and we occupy by operating
biblical principles not just to get
there but
to live there and one of those
principles
is that the tithe belongs to the lord
the tithe is 10 of all of our increase
and we're instructed in god's word to
bring that into the storehouse of god
because that belongs to the lord
and of course we always have other
ministry opportunities
if you would like to sew special
offering or special seed into
some other project we have those as well
and my friends let us continue to
operate biblical principles

very powerful harvest to come into your
life

[Music]
praise the lord
you'll never know shortage or lack
another day in your life glory to god
say amen
in jesus name amen praise the lord
let's take our bibles and go to the book
of
jeremiah chapter 32.
we're going to begin today in verse 17.
and i
i believe you're going to see some
things about the lord
that will greatly refresh you of
his ability to be a blessing in your
life in the area of where you may need a
miracle
in that area where where there is no
human on the earth that can
do it for you i want you to know god is
still a miracle worker
and if you need a miracle i would like
you to pay careful attention
to the reading and the teaching the
expounding of god's word today
now let's pray father as we jump into
your word
we ask that your holy spirit would
illuminate the scriptures
that we could simply understand it grasp
it take it apply it to our lives
beginning today thank you father thank
you in jesus name amen
now quite a few of you
what i'm going to instruct you've
already been touching it
you've already had some some exercise in
it
but i think i think when you realize the
potential of what can take place here
i think it's going to stir you to
jumping even further praise god
jeremiah 32 verse 17
ah lord god behold you have made the
heavens and the earth
by your great power let me say my
friends that god
is the creator of
what we see as the physical earth and
also the universe
with all of the stars and galaxies and
beautiful things like that
they just didn't happen by coincidence
or accident i know there's some people
that believe that
adamantly but they are they're mistaken
they are deceived and they are wrong
and some of them know that it's bad
science
but they're under pressure to teach it
or they'll lose their funding
and some believe that
they have this concept or this belief
that it just all happened by a big bang
or something like that simply
because they want an escape from
moral responsibility so if there is no
god
and we're all just an accident that
means there's no accountability or
responsibility for
having done wrong or living wrong or
anything like that
and so that's why some love to embrace
that
view but my friends we're going to stick
with the truth of god's word
god is the creator behold jeremiah said
you have made the heavens and the earth
by your great power now i'll tell you
what that's great power
no question about that and outstretched
arm the outstretching of god's arm
denotes his power
and his working his working there is
nothing too hard
for you let me just say that jeremiah
knew how to talk to the lord he knew
how to talk to the lord and it's very
important that you understand also
the proper and correct way to talk to
god
so that you can see his power released
into your life now let's continue on
let's go to verse 26
after jeremiah has completed his long
prayer
and has talked to the lord about
this great thing that god has told him
and he's proclaimed god's greatness
and at the same time jeremiah is also
saying lord this is pretty crazy though
um
you've said you're going to do this and
i know you've got all this great power
but
lord the city of jerusalem is completely
besieged
and you know what they're trying to do
to me and he's basically saying how can
this happen
how can how can this be brought to pass
but he has exalted god and that is that
is what you always want to understand
when you're talking to the lord now i've
had
different encounters with the lord jesus
christ different
visions and i've had the visions i've
had the
the experiences of uh how can i say
friendship
the experiences of um you could almost
call it fun
maybe i could call it fun encounters
with the lord
but there's even in those type of
encounters i've had like maybe more what
we would call weighty type things where
he came to me and gave me instructions
and stuff like that
but regardless there's something that's
always present anytime anywhere
you're with the man of galilee
and this is what it is the moment you
ever
have an encounter with the lord the the
first thing that always comes to me is
that
because it's on him it's just that you
know
this this guy is the supreme sovereign
head of the church
the universal church the church in
heaven the church on earth
on earth of course just one church but
the billions and billions of believers
in heaven on earth
he is the head of the church
he's the one governing it instructing it
running it
controlling all of it 100 percent
whoa and you realize this is the man
with the power
this is this is the guy right here yes
he's jesus of naz of nazareth he's
the galilean man he's he's sweet
jesus but don't think for a moment that
he is not the king of kings
and the lord of lords and even even
those times i've i've
had conversation of the lord with you
know uh and there's i can detect his
sweetness his love
i have always been able to still pick
that
up this is the complete
sovereign head of the church i'm talking
to you right now
and it's a it's a phenomenal thing this
is
the one that spoke
the universe into existence
so yes while he is sweet jesus
you're you're talking to god he is just
as much
god as he is man he's just as much man
as he is god
it is a mystery but we believe it
and we receive him amen now verse
26 then the word of the lord came to
jeremiah saying
behold i am the lord the god of all
flesh
is there anything too hard
for me whew praise the lord
glory to god now stop and think about
that just for a moment
he liked what jeremiah said
so much he actually brings that back
around
i'm telling you if you want to see god's
power in your personal life
displayed you've got to learn how to
talk to him
you have to learn how to talk to him and
address him
for who he is
i'm going to put us a picture up on the
screen right now
and i want to talk to you just for a
moment about what you're looking at
this is an image that was released 25
years ago this is the original
hubble telescope deep field
image it's considered by many
by many to be the most incredible
picture
ever captured bar none
wow whoa praise the lord this is
the hubble deep field image
now what is very incredible about the
the footage that you're looking at of
this image
is that they took the telescope
the hubble telescope and reluctantly
pointed it to an area of the universe
a little section a tiny section of the
universe
that was going to be the furthest
distance they had ever looked at
that they actually thought was empty
space
matter of fact before they they actually
took the photos and
you know and put put this photo together
so you can see this as one
they they actually had scientists said
no don't don't do it because there's
nothing there and we don't want to waste
our time
and not only that it might be
embarrassing if we you know we're taking
these bad photos or we take this photo
there's nothing there people think what
we're doing is not important
so they they wanted to lead scientists
to not do it
but he he persevered and said no we need
to take
a picture of this area and uh
the man that said we need to do it his
name was ben excuse me
bob williams he is the one that came up
with the idea of the hubble deep
field and it says that his colleagues
warned him
pointing the telescope at quote nothing
unquote was a terrible idea
unlikely to pay off
but he pushed forward later saying
scientific discovery requires
risk and my friends look at this picture
that was taken you're looking at over 10
000 galaxies and each
galaxy has millions
and millions of stars just in
each galaxy and so the magnitude
is off the charts i would actually
uh for myself i would put this in top
five
top five all-time most mind-blowing
pictures i've ever seen
the only pictures i've ever seen that
have outdone
this picture are pictures that i've seen
that represent the love of god
but when you're looking at this picture
you're looking at
raw power you're looking at the
outstretched
arm of god and god spoke it and the
words came out and he took his hand and
just
slung it out there whoo and it wasn't in
a chaotic order
it was more complex to the most complex
swiss wistrach
wristwatch let me get that ww word out
there
with the most complicated automatic
workings
that the galaxy is so complex whoa
praise the lord so beautiful
and uh oh i mean you have the milky way
galaxy uh you know
and that's where we're in we're in the
milky way galaxy but you've got all
these other galaxies and then you have
these beautiful spiral galaxies and all
of these things and uh
this is who we're dealing with well
pastor steven i just see jesus in his
white robe and you know his little
sandals
you must never forget who
your god is and who is on your side
and who's pulling for you and the power
i'm just talking about raw power
that he has available to help you and so
you need to ask yourself
in the light of that image is there
anything
too hard for the lord i mean is it
harder
than making 10 000
galaxies don't forget there's just one
little tiny section of the universe
that's just pointing the telescope in
one direction
that's just one little tiny direction
you still have everything else
woof it's just it's just literally
humanly incomprehensible the power
of god wow praise the lord
and so the lord says is there anything
too hard for me
no lord so what is it that you need
god to do in your life oh well pastor
stephen i write
i i need to pay this light bill this
light bill's run up to 218 dollars
i just i don't know if you have to
realize
who you're you're working with who
you're talking with this this is the
head of the universe
this is the one that the father has
given all authority to
over the entire universe the father said
just run all of it run
all of it he's running the universe he's
got it all
he's got it all under his authority and
he's delegated authority also to the
church
whoo praise the lord so we need to step
into this
glory to god glory to god i think i'm
just going to go ahead and touch this as
you see
let's pop that image up one more time on
the screen as you see those galaxies and
all those beautiful things
of course you know they're
they're billions of light years
separated apart
and uh they're basically saying the
light even from those galaxies it took
billions of years just for it to get to
the telescope
and i can understand i can understand
why some scientists say you know maybe
maybe there there was this evolutionary
thing there wasn't of course
but you have to understand that when god
made adam
and he breathed the breath of life into
adam
adam was created as a full-grown man
he's not a little baby with diapers
god created adam with maturity okay
he did the same thing with the universe
when he created the universe
he baked maturity into it he baked age
into it was it new oh yes brand new
but he had age baked into it
when jesus turned uh first miracle when
he turned
water into wine they said what this
this is the best wine it has gone to the
process
it skipped well it actually didn't skip
it it just went through it real fast
through a miracle
from water through the the phases of the
grape juice into the phase of whatever
this wine was
and it was this mature wine
and it was created oh there it is water
mature wine just like that
so you could say the miracle had the age
baked into it
so don't let all these great ages a
billion years or something like that
don't let that throw you
don't let that throw you or anything
like that the fossil records don't lie
but you have to interpret it all the
right way
praise the lord now
when you look at all those beautiful
galaxies and things like that you
you have to understand you and i we're
designed for eternity
humans are designed for eternity and
you're going to live in either one or
two places either in heaven
with god or eventually the the final
abode of the damned
which is called the lake of fire so
that's why we of course are on our way
to heaven and we want to bring as many
people as we can along with us
praise the lord but you have to
understand you're gonna
you're gonna live for all eternity with
a glorified body
with a glorified body designed for
uh what would now be considered
superhuman type things
i was talking to a very uh very esteemed
prophetess known for a miracle ministry
he's traveled all over the world
ministering for jesus and she and i were
talking about
uh different things we've seen in the
heavenly glory realm
and she told me about one of her trips
to heaven what she saw
she's had various trips into the third
heaven like the apostle paul had
and she was telling me about the time
that she was taken to the outer edge of
the city of heaven
and she saw a harbor but the harbor
uh it didn't have water in it
there was a big that there were
different types of what we would call
from the earthly perspective
we would call them cruise ships they
were ships
that were designed they were gigantic in
size they were designed to carry people
and she saw one of them that was
enormous that was made
out of solid crystal it was a ship made
out of solid crystal
and it was getting ready it had
believers on it you had christians on it
those washed with the blood of the lamb
it was getting ready to sell
out of this port into space
to explore and to see all of these
well you can see it there all of these
creations all of these things that god
made
well pastor stephen there are so many of
them yeah it's going to take millions
and
millions and billions of years praise
the lord
you'll never have a boring day in your
life
in heaven praise the lord glory to the
lord
so my friends let us learn to
talk to god where we magnify his power
where we magnify his name
and as we talk to god in such
ways where we esteem him for who he
really is
then we also will receive uh the flowing
of that mighty
power into our lives praise the lord
now i want to take you to a verse
that is very explosive god's word has
creative power and i want you to take
this
verse we're about to go to and i want to
be i want it to be a verse that you
really commit to heart
and that you meditate on because there's
power in it
and you're going to see the power of god
begin to flow in your life
now we're going to go to romans chapter
10
romans chapter 10 and our scripture
that we're going to look at now is verse
12.
romans 10 verse 12.
for there is no distinction
between jew and greek
the word greek in the original greek
is the word helen and this is referring
to
not just greek people but it's referring
to
non-jewish nations that
are greek speaking the
the word usage here of the word greek
became a common word that was just
used not just to describe the greeks
but this is a word that is now used in
their culture
in their day and in their time to
basically describe
non-jews non-jews some actually
uh some translations actually translated
as the word
gentiles so i like the more literal
translation
which is uh greek there's no distinction
between jew and greek
but it's basically saying there's no
distinction between jew
and somebody who's not a jew praise god
now watch this for the same lord over
all
is rich to all
who call upon him now
let's not look at a statement
that's not really being made although it
certainly would be
implied it doesn't say
god is rich although we all know of
course
he is it even says in the book of
revelation worthy
worthy is jesus to receive riches and
honor and
it goes on and on with this beautiful
list of everything that he's worthy to
receive one of those being riches
and we know that god the father is in
heaven
christ at his right hand and we know
that the streets
are of pure gold we know that the uh 12
gates or these
gigantic pearls and the splendor and the
wealth and the glory
are just uh off the chart as we would
say
but my friends we we understand that
this would also
imply that the lord is rich because he's
going to extend that to those who call
upon him
and so you would have to be rich in
order to extend it
but the focus is not that god is rich
the focus here
is that god is rich to all who call upon
him
so that richness is extended to the one
who calls
upon god well pastor stephen i'd like to
ask god for something but i don't know
if god can afford it
there there's nothing there i mean he's
the owner of everything
whoa praise the lord and god
is able to bless you praise the lord now
he's rich to you you have to personalize
it
you have to take the scriptures and make
them your own
again look at verse 12 for there is no
distinction there's no difference
between jew and greek
in this area of you could be just as
blessed as a jew is
okay or it's not like you're missing
anything because you're in the covenant
now
you're in the new covenant which
includes salvation
praise the lord and everything is in
salvation the word sozo means full
salvation
everything's included for the same lord
over all is rich
too and you have to say to me the same
lord over all
is rich to all who call upon him
if you'll call upon him recognizing who
he really is
he'll be rich towards you he'll be rich
towards you
he'll do miracles for you he'll do what
no doctor can do
he'll do what no rich uncle could do
he is god there's nothing
too hard for him and he will extend that
power
he will extend his riches to you but you
have to call upon him
you have to call upon him in light of
his greatness
and in light of who he is praise the
lord
now pastor stephen in what way should i
call upon the lord
you're going to call upon him in
a in a response to what it is that you
actually need or what it is that you
want to ask him for
let's talk about some examples you're
going to go before
the great god jehovah you're going to go
before
the miracle worker from galilee whoo
praise god
you're going to go before jesus christ
of nazareth
hallelujah
you're going to go before your savior
and you're going to ask
him for the miracle that you need maybe
you need a new kidney maybe
you need both kidneys to work maybe you
need a new
liver maybe you have a a child a son or
daughter
that has down syndrome maybe you've been
diagnosed with a failed heart and you
need a new
heart and you have to understand that
there are categories of needs
on the earth where
a doctor can do all they can do and they
eventually get to a place
where they say this is now beyond
medical science
maybe we can give you uh treatments to
deal with the pain
but there are some things that are
terminal and
you have reached the end of the line and
you can't
go any further for example
maybe your liver uh
has been attacked by cancer let's say
for example it's like a stage four
and if you're in any level of stage four
cancer that means
it's over you know you get your wheel
ready and uh they're gonna try to
sedate you heavily and let you write it
out with you know heavy dosages of
painkiller
but you get a diagnosis like that the
doctors are not trying to wreck your
life they're just trying to say
this physically is what you're looking
at they're not trying to lie to you
they're just
they're trying to help you they're
saying you have to brace for it because
from a natural perspective
this is what you have and we are limited
in these areas
praise the lord but my friends
you have to understand that while there
are some things on this earth
that are beyond human ability to fix
god who created the heavens
and the earth is a miracle working god
there's
nothing too hard for him
he can make whole a child with down
syndrome
he can heal a heart that is just
ravaged with disease he can heal a liver
that is full of cancer he can
heal kidneys that have shut down and
have completely
stopped working but my friends praise
the lord
you must realize that when it comes to
so many of these
mighty mighty needs you have to realize
there's nobody smart enough to do it
only god can do it
nobody on this planet can make a new
liver
well now pastor stephen they're getting
pretty advanced with this 3d modeling
they can mold things out of plastic
no no you can't they they can't do it
like god can
i've i've heard some of the science you
probably have too some of the medical
science where they can take
sort uh certain organs from an animal
and they can transplant some of those
organs into
in the people but they they never last
very long and they never work very good
why it was never designed for a human it
was designed for the pig
it was designed for the chimpanzee it's
not going to work right in a human's
body
only god's smart enough to to give you a
new liver
only god is able to put new kidneys in
your body
he's the only one that can do stuff like
this if you learn how to talk to him the
right way
the power will flow the power will
flow now
i want to talk about three words excuse
me three letters
they're back they're basically three
words once we expand them and pronounce
it out
i want to talk to you about the three
letters o
e m o e m now if you have ever
worked in the automotive industry you
know what i'm talking about this would
be true of course in many
areas of production even if it's
aviation or stuff like that
oem stands for original
equipment manufacturer i want to say it
again
original equipment manufacturer
and oem what it means is that
an oem is a part and it is the part
that is built by the company that
initially made that part
for the vehicle now
you have a couple options if you have a
vehicle
and something goes wrong with it if you
have
let's say you have like a like a new
something that's in the 2020s a very
modern
new vehicle with all of the electronics
and all of the uh
you know the computers and stuff like
that and something goes
wrong and they say well this part has
broken
you have two options you can get an oem
part
which is a part that's made by the
original equipment manufacturer
or you can get an after-market part
and they'll tell you this of course when
they give you a quote for the repair
bill they'll say these are your options
oem
or you can get an aftermarket here's the
thing about the after market
sometimes the price can actually be
cheaper but
it's it's it's not uncommon at all in
the aftermarket that the part that
they're going to supply you with
it might not even be new it could be
used
it can be refurbished and then it's
going to be
resold as a used item
been cleaned up or whatever you know the
the need was and now it's back out and
they can
they can put that into your car but you
know if you have something really new
and modern you want the oem part in
there
you want something that's original
equipment
in there particularly if it's something
that that's really nice
now if you have a car that's maybe let's
say 25 years old maybe a
old pickup truck or old car or something
like that
and you're driving down the road and you
go to fill up your gas and you realize
the gas cap came off and somehow just
came off and got lost
fell off down the road well at that
point maybe you're not even really
concerned about an oem
part why you go to the aftermarket you
can go to one of these local
you know we got them all over town you
know these small little automotive
uh parts plate uh parts places where you
can go and just get an aftermarket
gas cap only costs five dollars you put
it on there screw it down
lock it down but um you get into other
things
you really need oem for example a modern
windshield
if you have a new nice vehicle
that windshield it may look like just a
piece of glass or whatever
but it's got all kinds of lines and
wires and stuff
going through it's got heating elements
in it it's got all kinds of other stuff
that's
you know used for electronics that are
going through that windshield
and if if it gets broken and you have to
have it replaced
i would highly suggest you don't go
after market well if i do i'll save 200
yeah it's not going to fit right either
or they might even say it does but
no it's not going to be the same you
need o e
m original equipment manufacturer
particularly
particularly the the more important it
is and the nicer the vehicle
oem mercedes-benz
you want to oem always uh bmw
you want original equipment manufacturer
part praise the lord
how about this one the vote at the most
dangerous and ugliest car of all time
the hugo put a picture up for your
for your eyes to behold the beautiful
hugo
formerly made in the uh country of
yugoslavia
now believe it or not although that car
is no longer manufactured
there are still oem parts
that you can get if you just so happen
to be driving around in a hugo
and if you are please email me at
contact stephenbrooks.org
i'd love to hear it's you know is did
somebody out there in the world still
drive one
i guess somebody does there's pictures
on the internet but although they're
just about as rare as a unicorn you
could still get oem parts
would you believe that isn't that
amazing
let me suggest this to you if you can
get an oem part
for hugo made in 1978
don't you think that god's got an oem
part
for you oh he don't keep backups pastor
stephen he's just
an old man sitting up on a throne in
heaven smoking a seaguar
[Laughter]
you have no idea who you're talking to
we have no idea
you have no idea the power you have no
idea the power
and the wisdom and the vast
resources backups
that would blow your mind and yes
it is true there is a parts warehouse
in heaven bigger than the biggest city
on the planet
any kind of backup part that you need
oem
it's in that warehouse god's got it
if you go if you go
went out of business years ago decades
ago
a car that costs three thousand nine
hundred ninety dollars
and there's still oem parts out there
you can get you don't think god's wiser
than that
he's got an oem for anything you need
you have to honor him and you have to
thank him
and acknowledge him for who he is and
don't be surprised when you do that
here comes no important to your body
the car was so crazy so dangerous
that you could buy that car and they
said literally you could drive it away
from the dealership and
it would start to fall apart parts would
start falling off of it you hear them
clinging down the road as you drove the
thing
one lady brought a brand new hugo and
drove it home and while she was driving
across the bridge the wind blew and blew
her and the car completely off the road
off the bridge
down into the water she was like what
kind of a crazy car is this
and yet there's oem for hugo
shall we go further
vote at the ugliest the ugliest car
of all time i don't know it's debatable
that but it's if it's not it's right up
there with them
the amc gremlin there it is you're
looking at it on the screen
praise the lord some of you on podcast
you're going to be so tempted to see
what these crazy things are we're
talking about
you're going to have to watch the video
praise the lord there it is in all of
his green ugly glory
the amc gremlin men if you want to
impress your wife
go buy your gremlin no don't do that
don't do that praise the lord
but it's green it's ugly and it went
defunct
decades ago but would you believe if
you're out there driving around or use

there's oem parts available for the
gremlin
um god's got your part
god's got your new liver god's got your
new kidneys
and what do you need there's nothing too
hard for him
what do you need there's nothing too
hard for him
he created the universe
this is all you need and look what he's
done the universe and this is all you
need is
there's nothing too hard for him there's
nothing too hard for him
praise the lord
let's go to the high level on the earth
of oem let's go to rolls royce
example now they're not they're uh
you know they're actually owned by bmw
now but they're still made there in that
that one certain town in england
where they've always been made but if
you of course buy a rolls royce
and all of the woodwork is real wood in
the rolls royce
but let's say you've had the car for for
15 or 25 years
you're driving around your rolls royce
and uh there was
let's say some kind of accident or crash
and in that accident the wood inside of
your car
maybe it got broken maybe it got smashed
or scratched to a place where it's not
it's not good anymore do you know that
they actually
with every rolls royce that is made and
the wood that goes into it
whenever they create that car and put
that wood into it
they save slabs from that tree
where your car the wood for your car was
made they save
slabs market and keep it in a warehouse
because if something ever goes wrong
with that wood and you want oem
genuine replacement there's only one
place you can get it from and that's
the rolls-royce headquarters and they've
got it record record it on file
your car the same exact wood the same
grain
the same everything because you can't
you can't get another piece of wood it's
not the same
it's not the same it's not the same uh
flow or anything like that
you have to have the same tree has to
come from the same tree same slab from
that tree
that's high level oem and they're
nothing compared to god
they're nothing compared to god god is
the original manufacturer of your
body if you need anything new
he's the one to go to
and there's nothing too hard for him
now he is rich to all
who call upon him he is
rich towards you in giving you that oem
part
when you call upon him whoa praise the
lord
pastor stephen how do i get god to
respond to me
in what jeremiah would label these
hard areas these difficult areas
how do i get god to move in my life in
these areas
and we're talking raw miracle stuff
we're talking about miracle healing
we're talking about stuff that's beyond
what the good doctors can do
we're talking raw power of god coming in
with a miracle for you
or your loved one maybe it's maybe it's
a money miracle maybe it's a deformity
maybe it's something of a body part has
prematurely gone bad in your body
how do we get god to respond number one
you cannot have
lethargic faith
what is lethargic faith well primarily
it's faith
that's not thankful and if you lose your
thanksgiving
if you lose your thankfulness to god
your faith will become lethargic
there is something about a freshness
that is released
when you have a thankful heart and there
can be times where you even feel
fatigued
and you're like oh i don't really want
to thank the lord i've had a tough day
if you'll if you or maybe you're just
tired maybe you're tired because that
body part's not working right and you're
fatigued
but if you'll still thank him for who he
is
you'll realize as you begin to thank him
he'll strengthen you
he'll strengthen you and then you can
continue on
blessing his name my friends we must not
be lethargic in our faith we must pursue
god we must be quick to obey the lord
in every area of our lives
and i believe this includes the need for
us to be spiritually
sensitive you know i was reading about a
certain evangelical pastor
he had gone before the lord in prayer
and he said lord all of my
other pastor friends have gotten filled
with the holy spirit
and they they speak in tongues and jesus
i would really like for you to fill me
with the holy spirit
and this dear pastor he had um
just like a few days before he had his
window open at his house
and he noticed a beautiful little bird
had come and had sat
on his window seal well he kind of snuck
over to the side
and he reached his hand up and pulled
the window down and the bird
was startled instead of flying out it
flew into the room and so the
the pastor closed the window and he
caught the bird because he wanted to
catch it and he put it in a cage
and once he put it in the cage you open
the window back up so the bird could
have fresh air
and he got a little thing for water for
it and a little thing for food for the
bird
but the bird wouldn't sing he had seen
the bird before it was always singing
but the moment he put it in the cage it
wouldn't sing
and but he thought well that's okay i
like it anyhow you know i'm happy with
my bird
so this pastor said lord
jesus fill me with your holy spirit i
really really want this
you know what you know what god told
that man
jesus spoke to the man and said spoke to
his heart and said
release the bird and i'll baptize you
with my spirit
and the pastor said lord i like the bird
the lord said
release the bird and i'll baptize you
with my holy spirit you have to have a
sensitive heart
your faith cannot be lethargic when the
lord gives you direction
or insight you must move forward in that
area
the man went upstairs
the window was open he opened the cage
the precious little bird
flew out and began to sing
and the man closed the cage and he said
i won't capture birds anymore and he
he took the as he was walking down the
stairs with the cage and as he was doing
that
jesus filled him with the holy spirit he
was touched
[Laughter]
with the power of god and began to pour
out just speaking in other tongues
hallelujah glory to god
by the way not just we're not
just talking of course about a a
precious animal
but even people release people forgive
people be quick to forgive
be quick to love amen have a sweet heart
have a sweetheart towards people even
those that maybe
uh or maybe you like a little bit maybe
would say clumsy or make mistakes or
maybe do things wrong and they're trying
their best but maybe they don't know yet
maybe nobody's taught them
be sweet don't crush people be patient
love people
develop a sensitive heart praise god
praise god
now it's very important
that you call
god let's say you need a body part it's
very important
it's actually essential it's essential
and important that you call
god your healer let's see this in
scripture
romans 10 verse 12 the lord
the same lord over all is rich all who
call
upon him you call upon him what do you
call him
well if you need a if you need a new um
body part you call let's say you're a
liver
you call upon him as the healer of your
liver lord jesus you're the god that
heals livers
nobody else on earth can do it and my
condition is terminal
nobody else can do it the doctors have
done all they can
and so here i am jesus i now call
you my liver healer
praise the lord glory to god look at
verse
13 for whoever calls
on on the name of the lord shall be
saved you must call upon the lord
you you can't even get saved without
calling upon the lord
maybe you you did it in a way in a sense
where
you know you had your heart-to-heart
moment with god but that's still your
heart calling out to god
you can't get anything without calling
on god you must call
on the lord and if you have to call on
the lord
to receive the most important thing that
any human could ever receive
which is the salvation of your soul
trust me
you you work that same principle in
other areas as well
you call upon the lord as your healer
you call upon the lord as your deliverer
you call upon the lord as your debt
destroyer
you call upon the lord as your healer of
cancer
whatever it might be you call upon the
lord
romans 10 same chapter look at verse 10
for with the heart one believes unto
righteousness
and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation salvation as in
the sense of eternal life
yes but salvation also over here in the
same area of healing call upon the name
of the lord in that
area lord i call upon you i called upon
you and you saved me
now lord i call upon you as the creator
of the universe
i call upon you as the healer of my body
you are the healer of my body you're the
healer of my liver
jesus i praise you and worship you
nothing's too hard for you
oh praise the lord and you talk to him
like that
you talk to him like that you talk to
him like that all the time
all the time when you really desperately
need something
and you really want something you talk
to him like that
he'll respond to you just like he did to
jeremiah
thank you lord jesus hallelujah
you're single and you can't get married
for whatever reason it's just you know
something something's not
something's not there yet call upon the
lord
as your matchmaker miracle
working matchmaker pastor stephen that's
not in the bible well sure it is
there's all kinds of scriptures about
this in the bible i don't have to use
the song of solomon
uh look at this one uh genesis chapter
24
verse 1 now abraham was old well
advanced and aged and the lord had
blessed abraham in all things
so abraham said to the oldest servant of
his house
who ruled over all that he had please
put your hand under my thigh that was a
covenant sign
and i will make you swear by the lord
the god of heaven and the god of the
earth
that you will not take a wife for my son
from the daughters of the canaanites
among whom i dwell
but you shall go to my country and to my
family and take a wife
for my son isaac here
in scripture you have what theologians
just
across the board say is a beautiful old
testament
type shadow word picture of the working
of the trinity you have abraham who is a
symbol of
the heavenly father you have isaac who
is a symbol of
the son of god and you have this elderly
oldest servant
who is a representative a spiritual
symbol of the holy spirit
and you have the servant who represented
the holy spirit
going out he's going to find a bride
going to find a woman for the son and
you also have a beautiful imagery here
of course of christ and the church
but my friends you have to understand
that god god's the ultimate matchmaker
the holy spirit going out and finding
the servant going out and finding the
perfect
the perfect bride for the son
and of course you know god's going to
get it right see
i know things about this this nature and
i remember one night
i was 27 years old and i just said look
god i want to get married i i don't want
to
wait any longer i want to get married
and had a person come into agreement
with me for
a godly wife but see what i did not know
even before i ever got to california
when i was still in texas
just months and months i don't know how
maybe even a year or maybe it was
probably like eight months or something
like that
earlier my wife who was at that time
single
sitting in church heard the man of god
at the church
say we need to buy some more chairs
because we need
we just you know we have a you know it's
quite quite a big church
we need more chairs for people to sit in
so i i need those of you
that are members to purchase chairs and
so my wife
purchased four brand new chairs one for
her to sit in
one for her two uh children to sit in
and one one for her new husband
that she was in faith for that was going
to walk into that church
and sit in that chair whoa praise god
and the holy spirit when the holy spirit
saw her faith
and saw her words when she said my
husband will come sit in that chair
you have to you have to understand how
the holy spirit works he works with your
word some of you are not giving getting
any
you're not giving anything to the holy
spirit to work with
she said my husband will come and sit in
that chair and i drove
all the way from texas to california
and would you believe that the person i
prayed with
i i told this person i want to get
married the person said let's agree
god will do it the next day that person
said come visit my church
and i walked into that church first time
i'd ever been there in my life
did not know a soul in that church and i
walked
and sat literally physically in the very
chair kelly had purchased for her future
husband
sat in the exact chair
you got to call god your matchmaker
hallelujah there's nothing too hard for
god
you just got to give him more praise you
got to give him more thanksgiving
you got to worship him you got to
glorify him so that he'll release the
power to you
it's not too hard for god god it's not
that god can't do it
there's nothing too hard for him it's
just that for that power to be released
we must do our part praise the lord we
need to know how to talk to the lord
for who he really is glory to god
and if you're single you really want to
get married then you just need to you
just need to be going around thinking
god all the time and praising him and
saying god you're my
you're my matchmaker you're the ultimate
matchmaker
glory glory glory glory glory and it'll
happen
somehow somehow some way because he's
the miracle worker
he's the miracle worker well pastor
stephen somebody might say
pastor stephen my my denomination
doesn't believe in that
well then i have to be honest with you
um it's not going to happen for you well
maybe if i just stick around
well you can stick around for 10 20 50
years until you pet you
your life ends it's not going to happen
the holy spirit
does not move in areas where
the lord is not represented or
taught or honored in that way
he's not going to come into that church
and override that pastor when the pastor
doesn't believe that
and it could be a beautiful church where
people get saved
and the basics of the gospel are taught
but if that pastor or that denomination
is not
open to the moving of the holy spirit
with signs wonders and
miracles that display the power of god
you could sit there to your 120.
it's not going to happen it's not going
to happen
praise the lord
know that the holy spirit is a performer
and he works with your faith that's
expressed
through your words you have to say
with your words that like for example if
you need a kidney
god's my healer god you're my healer
god you're the only one that can get
these kidneys working you're the only
one that give me new kidneys
you only want to give me a new heart you
have to say it
and you have to use your words and use
your
mouth praise the lord
you know i've seen it happen too many
times
sad actually it's not going to happen to
you though
i've seen good christians leave the
planet
before their time because they got sick
and they died prematurely
of a sickness or a disease i've seen
some leave in their 30s
but in every single case
that if you were to go up to them and
ask him i didn't ask them i didn't need
to because i already knew already knew
the answer no need to ask
but if you were to go up to them and ask
them let's say well there's one person
one person i knew that died of cancer
and this one person was the most
anointed person in the whole church
she could prophesy and when she
prophesied uh
it's just it was send a shock wave of
power through the whole
through the whole church and um she
could prophesy usually almost every
sunday
because that anointing that would come
upon her
she's in heaven today it's too bad she
got taken out by the cancer she had a
wonderful husband
she had two beautiful children but she
she died but i i went to the hospital
quite often with the pastor because i
was young at that time and i
i saw her succumb weaker and weaker
the whole time it's going on she's
laying there in the hospital bed you
know what she's doing
watching tv non-stop
and if you were to have gone up to her
and if you would have asked her
very respectfully very softly but if you
would have asked her honestly
how many times today have you called
jesus
your cancer healer
she probably would have stopped and
thought and she probably would have said
none i mean maybe once or twice
and if you would have probed a little
further and said
yesterday as you lay here in bed
how many times did you call jesus and
thank him
as being your cancer healer she would
have said
none none
do you understand that those who call
upon the name of the lord
shall be saved and if you don't call and
if you don't acknowledge him
although he can do it it won't happen
it won't happen
thank you jesus now you might have
a super anointed minister come minister
to you
charged with the power of god and come
lay hands on you
and you could get healed off their
anointing you know i have a
ministry of healing that that that can
happen
but what if that doesn't happen and
you're just laying there
but i'm telling you that if you will
call at upon the lord and work these
principles and just thank him
call him the mighty healer call him the
mighty deliverer
call him the god that gives new lungs
or a new heart or whatever it might be
he'll answer and you'll receive a
miracle
praise the lord glory to god
praise you jesus
just keep thanking him continually keep
thanking him
continually somebody might say well why
would i thank him for something
that he hasn't done yet well
you thank him by faith based
upon first peter chapter 2
verse 24 which says
who himself bore our sins in his own
body
on the tree that we having died to sins
might live for righteousness by whose
stripes
you were healed now those that don't
believe
in miracles and those that don't believe
in
god's healing power will say that this
is a reference to
spiritual healing that we were
spiritually healed
through christ atoning sacrifice
but that's that doesn't even make any
sense
when you were lost in sins just as i
used to be at one point in our lost
condition
we didn't need some kind of spiritual
healing we needed to be
born again we needed to be
recreated or as in the greek it implies
regenerate it you don't need some little
healing you don't need to be spiritually
healed
you need to be you need to pass from
death
to life whoa praise god this
is not talking about spiritual healing
by his stripes you were healed
in the atonement in the sacrifice
death burial and resurrection of christ
in the new covenant
he purchased your physical
healing by his stripes you were healed
were is past tense on the cross
he paid for it so while you lie there
with that body part not working while
you lie there perhaps with the body part
ravaged by disease
or unless it's metastasized and it's now
spread throughout your body
while you lie there you worship god
and say god you're my healer god you're
my healer i praise you
that healing healing is in the atonement
jesus by your stripes those furrows that
were dug
into your back you paid for my
healing hallelujah and i thank you for
it i call you my healer
while i lay here i call you my healer i
call you my healer
and if you will keep doing that day and
night
day and night look you can't pull these
these play games with god like you do it
you know three or four times and you
think that's it god will get me up out
of the situation now
no you have to pour your heart into it
you have to glorify him for who he
really
is and when you do when you do
he will come on the scene
thank you jesus thank you jesus
whatever you give god thanks for before
you see it
he will let you see it that's something
i learned from dr norvel hayes he
made that beautiful quote whatever you
give god thanks for
before you see it he will let you
see it my friends
you must do it out loud you must do it
without shame
or embarrassment you must thank the lord
you must have your heart expressing
thanksgiving to god
for his greatness for his mighty power
thank you lord jesus and
anything that god has promised you
he'll give it to you he'll give it to
you when you really just
pour out the thanksgiving and the
constant worship and praise and
adolation
and adoration for who he is he'll give
it to you
anything he's promised you and even
beyond sometimes
maybe what we would call your set
inheritance
or beyond your promised land
sometimes you might touch an area really
of even a desire
you wouldn't necessarily call it a need
but it could even be a desire
but god in his loving goodness
he'll look at you and
and if you can handle it he'll even give
you that
if you could handle it and you're really
thinking for it
he'll give it to you now long as it's
something that doesn't make you
backslide uh
there are some they're they're not
mature enough to handle wealth
if they actually had riches they they'd
backslide
but if you can handle it and you'll
thank god for it
and you'll you'll you'll um live your
life clean
yeah he'll give it to you also praise
the lord
but you have to really you have to
really i would
i would use the the the phrase pay the
price
you have to really pour your your heart
out thanksgiving to the lord
and when you do that you'll see that
miracle power that we all know he
possesses
you'll see it come into your life and
you'll have a miracle testimony
praise the lord you must make up your
mind
that you are going to get
what rightfully belongs to you
hallelujah there's no need for you to
die there's no need for you to live with
something
that god doesn't want you to live with
when he paid for it
through the shed blood of christ and
it's been purchased
through his atoning work and you can
have it
so you must make up your mind that
you're going to get what is rightfully
yours
and this heart of thanksgiving
of blessing the lord for who he is
you must do it every day and understand
that the holy spirit is a performer
and he's going to work with you based
upon your words
and what's coming out of your mouth and
if you stop
thanking the lord if you stop working he
stops working
and if you take a vacation for seven
days and you just think well i've got
kind of tired of doing this
i'm getting tired of praising god
getting tired of thinking god
you take a vacation for seven days he'll
take one too
for seven days so you have to keep it up
you have to keep it up because he's a
performer
of what you say and as you worship the
lord as you worship the lord
you'll see that he's no respecter of
persons
and my friends you'll see that god's
word is true
that there is no distinction between jew
and greek for the same lord over all is
rich
to all who call on him
so call on him as your healer
of your kidney or of your foot
or if whatever is going on that's not
right call on him and just
tell him you're my healer call on him
and worship him call on him if if you're
buried in debt
and it's and it's bad just call on him
lord
you're the debt deliverer you're the god
of the jubilee
jesus you are the jubilee debt
cancellation goes along with the jubilee
jesus i worship you you are my jubilee i
