well hello my friends this is pastor Steven and i'm coming to you today from Barto, Pennsylvania as i'm hanging out here at the padre pio national uh historical site that commemorates and honors the great prophet of god from italy praise the lord now he passed away in 1968 and he's actually buried in san giovanni rotundo italy but here in america this area in pennsylvania this one town this beautiful facility has been built to honor him and there are many pictures of about him his life his bookstore and so forth is very similar in some ways to going to charlotte north carolina and seeing the beautiful billy graham evangelistic center the library that commemorates the life of billy graham and of course both of these men are gifts from the lord that we read about in ephesians chapter 4 where you have the apostle prophet evangelist pastor teacher now of course billy graham would have been an evangelist that's what we identify his ministry offices being but we also see with padre pio that clearly he operated in the ministry office of the prophet and he was a roman catholic priest a franciscan friar and a great man of god he also bore the stigmata so he had the wounds of christ upon his body he had the two nail marks within his hands and he also had the marks within his feet his side and also what a lot of people didn't know about was the shoulder wound that he had and that was because when the lord carried the cross that cross just rubbing into his shoulder well padre pio he experienced the same supernatural sensation or phenomena and he was asked once which is the most painful and he said it was the shoulder the shoulder wound but he bore those wounds for exactly 50 years and soon as he died immediately the wounds supernaturally closed up now we would know this as the modern-day term the stigmata but we have had various saints throughout church history who have manifested the stigmata and this is something that god would select in a special sense for a man or woman one of the earlier records that we have of somebody that had it was saint francis of assisi but there have been different christians throughout church history who had it and not just catholics some even in the eastern orthodox uh christian uh stream of faith have also manifested this and there have even been a couple if you believe it are not evangelicals now this type of manifestation of the spirit is not as well known in what we would call the protestant or evangelical type circles but it's not as uncommon as some people would make you think it is supernatural and it is something that is very very rare that the lord would give to somebody and you can only imagine how difficult in some ways it would be to bear the stigmata because with padre pio it was there was a lot of blood that was coming out particularly on biblical feast days and on also what we would call the western church would call easter but a biblical date being passover as well as christmas so these are supernatural signs and wonders that draw people to christ to put their faith in christ just like in the pentecostal stream we are known as standard bearers for the supernatural for signs and wonders hallelujah and we take great joy in that even though for charismatics and pentecostals there is a lot of persecution that comes for that but i've been throughout the body of christ and even in evangelical churches it's not uncommon by any means now to meet baptist who believe in the modern day gift of prophecy it's not even uncommon to meet quite a few baptists even lutherans and others within mainline denominations that are not charismatic that also believe in divine healing so the tide is rising the tide of revelation the tide of faith the tide of glory the tide of the good things that god has done in the earth through great men of god of the past but also those that he has designated and positioned in the church at this time and also in the age to come i believe in an end time harvest i really do i believe there are ample scriptures to validate and support that before the end comes and everything is wrapped up we will have a massive harvest and i'm confident it will be well over one billion souls and when you look at church history you can see that we have been through what could be uh termed running along the same track of biblical feast type experiences the church has had pentecost we had that come back in a sense into the church yes they had it in the first century second century but then the flame began to go out and a lot of what we would call the pentecostal experience although it was always in the church uh it began to get um hidden away it began almost in a sense to be lost but that was greatly restored in the late 1800s early 1900s azusa street and on and on that goes with church history in that area to where that's pretty much been brought back to the fullness of what god has for it as far as being rooted in the church but my friends while we look at the various feasts of israel the church has never had a feast of tabernacles and tabernacles in the jewish calendar is the last feast it's the great feast and it is the in-gathering of all the crops not just all of the crops but really they're bringing in the best harvest there in the late fall in the feast of tabernacles so we have not yet had that we have not yet had a harvest that just begins to not only touch a nation but begins to touch nations in a remarkable way with a glorious poured out so just keep your fire lit and keep close to the lord because those things are coming and when it happens i really believe we'll have at least 20 years of full-blown all-out glory movement does that mean everybody's going to get saved no of course not but i do believe there will be a generation that will rise up and will see the gospel preach to all of the world to all of the nations now many will accept christ and there will be those that don't but one thing we'll be sure is that it will be done we're going to get the job done praise god amen so i'm just hanging out with you today on this beautiful sunny day here in pennsylvania and i'm on the road traveling kelly she's close by we've had a wonderful time at the padre pio center earlier today and of all things would you believe that today they actually it was a special martyrs event and also saint relic event praise god okay so i'm not a fanatic i know that uh relics in a sense are just that they're relics but you have to also understand that a lot of these relics and they had they had relics today's from uh uh pieces of clothing from some of the heavyweight saints some of god's greatest servants that have ever walked the earth and they were out on display today and they're only here for a few days but when you understand that the anointing can go into cloth can go into bones then you can begin to see why there can be a place for relics and i'm not talking about trinkets or doodads or superstition i'm talking about the anointing that was upon a man or woman of god and they're wearing clothing and that anointing goes into that clothing and we know that when the prophet elisha was buried quickly in a cave that later when excuse me he wasn't buried quickly but he was buried but later when another man was buried and they put him in the same cave and they had to let him down quick because there was a marauding uh group of raiders uh or bandits basically showing up so they had to quickly bear that man but when that man that dead man touched the bones just the old bones of the prophet elisha life the quickening power of god the resurrection life hit that man and raised him from the dead so there is absolutely uh an anointing that can go into cloth so there it was beautiful to see all of the different piece pieces of cloth or clothing that some of these great saints wore from the 1500s 1600s 1700s even 12th century i'm like how did they get his robe but they did and it was a lot of fun to see that i'm a church historian as you know so i love church history because in order to better understand where we're going it sure helps to have some good insight on where we have been praise the lord now today i want to talk with you from psalm 84. i want to speak today in the context of moving forward and never staying stagnant you never want to get mediocre you never want to get lazy with your faith i know that we would know that and i know that's something that we would try to steer clear from but nevertheless it's something that we have to keep an eye on because god is expecting movement out of us and this movement is in a positive direction it's certainly not something that would be negative and neither is it something that would hold uh just hold its place because then you're becoming stagnant so let's jump over today the psalm 84. let's open up in prayer heavenly father we just thank you for this day sunshine day really not even a cloud in the sky so father we give you praise and we ask that your holy spirit would rain down revelation upon the word on this cloudless day let rain come down illumination insight by your holy spirit into our walk with you and let us be moving forward in every facet of our faith walk now thank you for your grace i thank you father for those that have been stuck they're going to get unstuck today and they're going to get quickly onto the next level praise god so father we thank you today we're climbing mount zion we're ascending we're not camping at the base nor halfway up and we thank you for the revelations and the good things you've shared and the great things you've done already in our lives but we know there's more a lot more so father we're pushing into you pressing into you let hunger be released today spiritual hunger in jesus name we agree and say amen psalm 84 verse 5 blessed is the man whose strength is in you whose heart is set on pilgrimage so we are in a sense pilgrims and we are on a spiritual journey and on this journey there will eventually be a destination that we reach we're going to make it all the way to heaven praise god but we're we're supposed to learn and grow and move into the conformity of god's dear son the lord jesus christ so we're pilgrims now as they pass through the valley of bacop they make it a spring the rain also covers it with pools the valley of bacob in the hebrew is the valley of weeping it would be the valley of difficult times and anytime you walk with the lord there are going to be tests and trials but the good news is is that with the lord jesus on the inside of us and the holy spirit strengthening us and the wisdom of god's word being made available to us we can keep on going and there could be uh some even some shedding of tears at times but we are passing through the valley of baker they're great learning experiences but we're not going to camp out in the valley we're going to keep on moving as they pass through so i just speak to anybody today that's stuck in the valley of weeping you've been crying long enough praise god now the lord understands the heartache and the difficulties that you've had he understands your tears all of your tears have been gathered and they have been placed in a bottle and the lord keeps them as a sacred special memory of those times that you and he have walked through together but my friends god's got some mountain top experiences for you so it's time glory to god to get on moving get those feet going get out of the valley and dry off those tears because god is going to make you smile praise the lord he is going to give you glory to god the desires of your heart isn't this a beautiful facility that they have built here now the lady that built this padre pio uh special uh special facility to honor this great man of god she has uh lived her life out she passed away she went on to heaven but this uh woman who was instrumental in raising up this facility which has been authorized and blessed by the catholic church uh even by the pope himself well the woman that raised up this facility and pulled people together who wanted to contribute and build something beautiful to honor padre pio this woman was sitting at her house years before her and she had a little baby girl and the girl was sick terminally sick the doctors have said they told her we have done all we can for her and she's not going to make it she's going to die and we can't do anything else the writing was on the wall and so she went back to her home and somebody had told this woman about padre pio that if she would pray to god and mentioned padre pio that something special would happen and so she's in the room by yourself she's talking to god in prayer saying god let a miracle happen i don't really know much about this guy padre pio let a miracle happen i take it he's a holy man let something happen well something happened while she was sitting there here in america in her in her room suddenly a supernatural fragrance exploded all around her and the fragrance was that of roses and a voice spoke to her it was the voice of padre pio and said quickly get your child and come immediately to san giovanni retundo well she did and if you come to this site you can actually see the ticket the international ticket that she booked where she caught a flight from new york to rome and then she went on from rome to san giovanni rotundo and she took her little girl that was in the throes of death and she took her over there and padre pio ministered to her and a miracle happened and that little girl grew up into a lady full-grown woman her name is vera and vera is the one that runs this facility today and i met vera got a wonderful picture with her i'm going to have that popped up right now for you to see she's a very sweet woman but as you look at vera's picture remember this little girl who is now this woman vera never would have been on the earth past that age of infancy because of the terminal illness had not her mother had faith in god and obeyed the supernatural direction of the holy spirit as the holy spirit allowed padre pio to speak a word all the way from italy to america to her to come over praise god now some of these spiritual matters may be new to some of you and you're thinking well you know why does she have to go over there to get healed well how come you know she couldn't have gotten healed right there in her house well you know all of those things are decisions that god makes all we do is we follow instructions from headquarters but anytime anytime you get a supernatural word of wisdom from the lord trust me it is 100 solid if you'll just do it and walk it out it's bulletproof it'll work every single time and vera's mother is a testimony of that and it was nice to meet her as well praise god now i have just finished my book on these supernatural fragrances and i actually have dedicated the book to padre pio and so i'm here today uh doing some special maybe we could call it behind the scenes things in relation to ministry activities praise the lord but my friends i tell you it's good to keep moving forward in whatever facet of career field you are in such as myself or in ministry you know what you need exposure some of you need to get out a little bit more you haven't quite had enough exposure you're thinking the whole world is shut down but the moment you get out you see movement and that's really what some of you need you need movement you haven't you haven't um uh well i was talking to a person the other day that i've actually met several people in my county in north carolina and this may sound totally crazy but it's true because i've met them i've talked to them they have never been out of the county their entire life and i one lady was in her 40s one lady my wife and i met recently that was maybe like 28 years old and i'm not talking about maybe haven't left the state or haven't no maybe haven't driven past charlotte or something like that i'm talking about full grown adults that have never driven 15 miles past the county line you need exposure exposure is one of the price tags it's actually one of the major price tags to accomplish exploits exploits in life when bishop david oyedepo wanted to establish his first university which was called covenant university which is now the most prestigious university on the african continent he first went around to other major universities in the world to see what they're doing and to get understanding of how they have become so successful you know if you go to oxford and i've visited oxford i mean they've been around for over 800 years somebody might say well i i'm not really an oxford person well that's totally fine but you would still have to admit they must be doing something right i mean to stay in business for 800 years you must be doing something right and you can go a little bit further uh to cambridge and i have a good uh friend he's he's a professor he's a real scholar he's a theologian and he he has a phd from cambridge so he's a sharp cookie but i mean they've been around for over a thousand years so uh mr oyedepo he visited some of the world's leading universities he went by oral roberts university and uh you know what when you go to oru or roberts university and you see those gigantic praying hands there at the entrance of the college and you see all of these big buildings and the beautiful things that god has done it will bring inspiration for what you want to do and for what your calling is praise god amen so i think it's wonderful that bishop oyedepo has now started not just one university i think right now he's got four universities and some have different how can i say areas of expertise like i think covenant university is for anybody that wants to study a wide range of fields lots of different degrees offered there but you have landmark university which is primarily for those interested in agriculture how they can feed the african nation and get things up to a level like some other countries have advanced to and not only that even outdo them because they have the holy spirit they're they are doing some amazing things over there i would say this that if i were an investor if i were a financial investor that wanted to look multinationally i would seriously look at africa and there is just phenomenal resources in some of these african nations and that they are hotbeds of ingenuity that of course and israel praise god thank you jesus well my friends let's continue on it says as they pass through the valley of baker they make it a spring and you're going to do the same thing you're going to bring refreshing out of your tearful valley experiences you're going to be able to help and minister to others they make it a spring the rain also covers it with pools refreshing swimming in the glory amen then it says they go from strength to strength each one of them appears before god in zion now this thing of going from strength to strength i would suggest to you is not just uh a suggestion that god would give us you know like this is how he wants to live but i would say this is essential to really the very core christian directive of the just shall live by faith in other words when it says that we go from strength to strength here's an example when a large corporation let's say a a fortune top 50 corporation when they have their annual meeting with their directors they sit down and they look at the profits that the company has made the previous year and what they have to determine and what they have to strategize is within the coming year how are they going to make more money and earn more of a dividend for their shareholders than what they have just accomplished in the previous year and you could think well they made a they made a lot of money pastor stephen isn't that good enough but see they don't think like that they think there's always room for growth and there is and that is a reality that when we walk with the lord there's always room to improve and any good ceo and any good corporate staff knows there's a lot more money that can be made there are better ways to serve the customer there are better ways to distribute the product there are better ways to become more efficient and to save money and to make money and on and on it goes so you can't rest on past laurels past victories although we celebrate them and you can enjoy the fruit of what that is produced you must keep going from strength to strength imagine for a moment for those of you that are adults and you've finished your high school college or whatever it is and you're out in the working world imagine how excuse me how difficult it would be if suddenly you were placed back in the third grade and you had to go through third grade all over again i think it would be torture why because you're way beyond that i mean uh you're way beyond what's being taught because you already have understanding of that uh you could do it with your eyes closed you could do it with your hands behind your back you do it standing on your head and plus even those that you would be in fellowship with the other little children it's going to be hard to have conversation and fellowship because you've already been there done that and you're on to other things so you're going from strength to strength and most importantly spiritually you're going from strength to strength you should not be weaker right now than you were last year or 10 years ago you should be getting stronger in the anointing should be getting thicker in the anointing with that strength of the anointing being fused into your into your life and that your walk with god is going from strength to strength oh but you have to watch it well you have to watch it it is very very easy for mediocrity to sneak up on any christian even if you're running at the front of the pack because you're you can think i'm running i'm running good i'm doing good but i would just say that there are people in second and third place that they're looking at your back and they're thinking i'm getting closer i'm getting closer so uh but your walk with the lord is not competitive so i'm not trying to suggest that but i am trying to say you need to stay hungry because there are new dimensions of the glory that god wants you to come into that he has actually have he's got it planned and destined for you to step into so you cannot camp out at where you're at right now you can get stronger god wants you to get stronger you are going to go from strength to strength you know my wife and i were talking a couple years back with a singer he was the lead singer for a very very good anointed christian traveling music band and they had been just ministering all over the state of north carolina i think it was five guys but they kept getting these invitations for other states and uh even out they were getting invitations in in california and far away places and they finally got together and said guys you know what we are going to have to take a step of faith okay now this is how you go from strength to strength they said we are going to have to go from uh faith to faith and we've done all we can do at the level we're at right now we're going to have to buy a bus and they stepped out in faith and they made a loan arrangement to buy you know like like a prevost bus that is made for commercial driving long haul trips and they went out and bought that bus and the lead singer told kelly and i he said the moment we bought that bus and we started traveling in that bus god supernaturally raised our incomes supernaturally raised the giving into our ministry to totally offset the expenditure of the bus so somebody might say well that's they they just got lucky you know some extra money came in no the extra money came in because they stepped out in faith and they purchased a bus and if they had not had purchased that bus that extra money would not have showed up it doesn't work like that you go from strength to strength when you keep moving in faith and i want to encourage those of you today you must go forward you must go forward you might think well pastor stephen there's difficult scenarios and difficult situations but that's okay they are out there there are difficulties but we do know from the history uh the the history of habakkuk when he made that amazing statement let me just flip over here for a moment it's a little bit windy out here but i'll do the best i can with with one hand praise god i'm going over to the book of habakkuk chapter two and we see here in verse two then the lord answered me and said write the vision and make it plain on tablets that he may run who reads it for the vision is yet for an important time but at the end it will speak and it will not lie though it tarries wait for it because it will surely come it will not tarry behold the ground excuse me behold the proud his soul is not upright in him but the just shall live by his faith so basically habakkuk all through chapter 1 was presenting to the lord all of the difficulties all of the corruption within the government all of the fraud all of the line all the you know cheating and stuff like that and he was basically saying lord the circumstances are very hard the soil is very dry and parched in a sense how can how can we go forward in a scenario like this so the lord talks about the necessity of having a clear vision a clear direction of where you're going but he also says the just shall live by his faith and what does that mean it means get moving because faith will move you forward regardless of what is going on around you even though the stream is flowing downstream that doesn't mean you cannot go upstream all you need to do to go upstream is have power okay that could be a paddle or it could be an outboard motor i'll take the outboard motor let the engine do all the work right but i'm telling you my friends that god can take you upstream even if other things are going downstream how do you do it you keep moving and you move in faith you must go in faith don't go out just well i'm going to go do something pastor steven said go do something no you do things specifically you you you examine what you're going to do you count the cost and you step into it but when you step into it and you need to step into something you're going to have to keep moving and any business knows that if you don't stay moving uh the competition they'll catch up or if you're level with the other competition you don't stay moving you're going to eventually go out of business my friends you've got to keep moving but you move by faith and if you move by faith you're moving in the force and the power and the strength of god because faith comes from the lord hallelujah glory to god you know i was reading the very miraculous story of evangelist rw schambach he was a prophet also but i think in some ways he was more known for his evangelistic anointing because he did a lot of tent crusades and got a lot of people healed but wow that guy could really also hear from the lord but r.w schambach he talked about the time that he had preached in new jersey at one of these uh youth facilities it was actually owned by a jewish organization and he was renting it but so many people were getting saved in the meetings and it kept happening after week after week he thought you know it'd be a lot better if i just buy this building instead of renting it turn it into a church now he's he's not really a pastor he's gonna he's a man on the move but he can at least establish a church and that would be actually more apostolic but it but he thought you know it makes a lot more sense to buy it but he said he didn't have any money so he walked around the building and he prayed and asked god for it he believed the verse that uh what is that joshua chapter 11 verse 24 wherever your feet walk the soles of your feet walk of course you would be walking in faith that you're going to take that land so he walked around the building he actually asked some other pastors to do it they said no we don't want to do that we're just waiting the car they thought he was wasting his time that would come back to bite them later anyhow so he walks around the building claims it claims it uh for the lord claims it for the work that he's going to buy it and the next day there's a for sale sign out there on it so he pulls the sign up out of the ground and he walks to the realtor's office and comes in with it and says who put this on my property and the realtor thought he's crazy but he said no he said i prayed and asked god for that property he said i believe it's mine they said and so the realtor said well it's for sale you know for me he named the price which was several hundred thousand dollars and uh and schambach said well i don't have that to pay for it but he said i'm i'm i'm willing to buy it and uh the man said how much will you pay for it and he stood there and then the holy spirit spoke to him and said offer seventy thousand dollars and the realtor said they'll never take that the directors will never take it he said they're they're in a meeting right now and shambak said he said call him so the realtor calls and says and he turned his back around he had a swivel chair turns us back to schambach but schambach said he could still hear the realtor talking to the directors and the realtors said i've got a crazy preacher in my office wants to buy your building for seventy thousand dollars and uh and the realtor said uh excuse me could you say that again and the director said we were just discussing what to do with that building we've had such a good year in real estate they told the realtor give it to the preacher for 70 thousand dollars somebody else had already offered multiple hundreds of thousands for they said give it to the preacher and we'll use the loss as a tax write-off so it was a smart board of directors and the guy turned around and said well you're not such a dumb preacher after all you're actually pretty smart so long story short schambach ended up buying that building now he didn't have the down payment money he needed god to do another miracle on that but god came through for him on that as well but my friends you know the holy spirit did not speak and say buy it for this must this much until he had stepped out and said i'm going to buy that building and he basically put his faith on the line now later when he shared the testimony um there were some other pastors that wanted to uh have him come walk around some buildings with them so that they could uh have him join in faith he said well if i walk around the building i'll go with you but if i walk around the building it's going to be my building that's what they were afraid so they wouldn't ask him to come because they had seen what had happened but all those other pastors who saw him do it and then they went out and walked around buildings they wanted they all every single one of them got the they got their building also praise the lord but again he said i'm going to step out in faith and buy this building and when he did although it was impossible in the natural god caused some things to happen and then the holy spirit later spoke and told him offer this much for it now there is a place where sometimes god can speak first but there are other times when you just must go you just can't sit around waiting your whole life maybe for a voice to come out of heaven or for an angel to appear in front of you and do something there are some things that are so strong inside of you because of all the investment of prayer that you've made you just need to get up and get going praise the lord and as you go you'll see god begin to open the doors let me say right now the money is never an issue on faith projects the issue always revolves around faith and obedience to keep taking one step after another and when you need the money for whatever it might be it will be there as you walk it out step by step staying in faith the whole way praise god now i want to pray for you heavenly father i pray for those that are watching today that they will continue to live by the theme of the bible which is that we are going from strength to strength we're not being reduced we're not going backwards we're not closing shop down we're not throwing in the towel we're we're moving forward and we're taking ground i pray for your people father god that they go from strength to strength so right where they're at right now they're not going to be there too much longer they're going to a new level of faith so father they're going to a new place of strength to accomplish to accomplish what it is that you have put on their plate of destiny thank you father god let them begin to move father even as you told moses standing at the rich sea and nowhere else he could go but

in faith and the waters are going depart we give you praise thank you thank you for the miracle testimonies and the praise reports there's a healing anointing flowing right now if you need healing in your body i want you to put your hand on the part of your body that needs a touch from god father right now let your healing flow into their bodies father god healing anointing flowing into the bodies

would still have memory of we thank you that you have so washed them away through the blood of christ that you do not recall them and they were all placed upon jesus as a calvary and he bore them for us so that we can be free not only free from the sin and washed from it but we thank you father even the memory holds no power even the memory of it it's just burned out ashes that's all it is can't
