welcome today to our Sunday morning
online internet church service I am so
happy that you have joined me today I
believe that God knows your needs and I
believe that he has a word prepared for
you that will minister to you spirit
soul and body Before we jump into
today's message let's honor the Lord by
bringing the tithes and the offerings
into the storehouse of God I believe
that when we tithe which is 10% of our
income or money that comes into our life
I believe that when we tithe we keep a
spirit of greed from coming into our
hearts you know there's always room for
more there's always room for increase
but we never want to be people who are
covetous or who are always grasping we
thank God for what he has done and what
he is doing but we want to honor the
Lord with our tithe so that we never
become stingy we never become greedy and
that we break those spirits through a
spirit of giving obedience I would like
to read a couple of verses to you from
Joshua chapter 24 I'm going to going
down to verse 12 and this is Joshua
speaking to the children of Israel and
he says in on behalf of the Lord he says
I sent the Hornet before you which drove
them out from before you that would be
the other tribes the other nations the
heathen kingdoms that were there also
the two kings of the emirates
but not with your sword or with your bow
how about that when you don't even have
to fight you don't have to pull out your
sword or your machine gun God just
releases the Hornets and the Hornets do
the job praise God I have given you a
land for which you did not labor and
cities which you did not build and you
dwell in them you eat of the vineyards
and olive groves which you did not plant
now therefore fear the Lord serve him in
sincerity and then truth and put away
the gods which your father's served on
the other side of the river and in Egypt
served the Lord and he goes on to
basically present to them you know
whoever you're going to serve me
your mind and and serve whatever gods
you're going to serve but Joshua said as
far as I'm concerned when it comes to me
in my house or basically if you could
translate it me and the tribe that I
belong to we're going to serve the Lord
praise God my friends I believe that
that prosperity and God's blessing on
your life is very much linked to your
obedience to serve the Lord to live for
him to not go after other gods to not
get entangled in things that God doesn't
want you to get all wrapped up in but
the serving with a willful heart a
joyful heart and when you do that God
will set you up with all kinds of
blessings just seek first his kingdom
and his righteousness and these things
that the the people of the world that
don't know God the things that they so
desperately crave and grass for and want
and lust after and just covets God will
give them to you hallelujah
you won't have to fight or struggle God
just already has things prepared for you
has an inheritance for you that's very
bountiful but just serve the Lord praise
God you want to be single-minded you
want to have a focus upon the Lord Jesus
Christ where you're just you're not
distracted with all of these things that
that can just pull up on you from sports
to entertainment really in our American
culture just endless entertainment we
have literally millions and millions of
options of things that you could do with
your time but to say Lord I'm going to
work I'm going to do the things that are
an assessee but I'm really gonna have a
heart for you in Lord I want to live for
you and make my life count well when you
do that God really starts blessing you
and when God has your heart I believe he
has your wallet he has your purse and
you're not a old Scrooge person that's
always trying to hold it back and never
releasing the the blessing that God has
put upon your life I believe that when
we give we break that old stingy spirit
may that miser spirit be something that
you never know may a soft heart the
heart of a lamb be something that's on
the inside of you not where you can be
manipulated or abused or taken advantage
of where you can be like Jesus wise as a
sir
harmless as a dove where you have a good
heart
and where you know the scriptures and
you walk in there's earning of spirits
and you have wisdom praise God and you
properly allocate financial resources I
think there has been a lot of
unsanctified giving in the church over
the years where maybe as they have said
the squeaky wheel gets the grease in
other words where maybe some desperate
ministers or ministers going overboard
just you know make a appeal after appeal
to feed a money machine that has to be
kept running and that they have to get
it in no matter how they get it in and
they have they have leaned upon the arm
of the flesh they haven't trusted
Jehovah God and so they take great
burdens and pressures upon themselves
but I believe that God wants us to focus
on his kingdom and we don't have to have
tricks gimmicks or man's mechanisms not
that there's anything wrong with
receiving offerings or making a need
known but we should never manipulate
others we should trust the Lord we do
see examples in scriptures where Moses
made Appeals for offerings even giving
the opportunity for people to give on
different levels whether they wanted to
give gold silver or bronze there were
many different options for giving so we
see that but ministers especially have
to be careful that they don't get over
into this thing of trusting the people
instead of trusting God because really
it all comes from God God is the source
we need to honor him who praise God I've
had the Holy Spirit direct me many times
to small churches because a lot of times
the smaller churches are more open to
the moving of the spirit and I would
think in my mind well Lord sent me to
the big churches because they'll give
the largest offerings and that will help
me meet the you know the budget and so
forth but the Lord said no we don't we
don't do it that way and and that's
something he impressed upon my heart
that I don't have to do it like that I
don't have to bow or cater the people or
not say something or do say something
in order for the funds to flow praise
God but just serving the Lord serving
the Lord not having any other gods
before me and the Lord has blessed me in
this ministry's continuing to do so as
we are increasing by His grace and
goodness on all sides God wants you free
hallelujah God wants you blessed praise
the Lord
so just give your heart fully to the
Lord as for me and my house we will
serve the Lord and we will serve the
Lord with our money
we will tithe we will not be financially
stubborn people that that God can't flow
through or God can't use hallelujah and
God bless you but when God's blessing
you make sure that you don't take the
Lord's be happy with your portion don't
reach over there and your with your hand
and start taking God's portion or start
taking what belongs to him especially
the tithe or offerings that the Lord
would have you to sow in to give praise
God I think we need to be very mindful
of these things so that the blessing
really flows and we don't have to get
into the flesh you know people get in
the flesh over money very easily and
well you know how it is out there in the
world there's there's people out there
in the world that will do anything for
money they would sell their own mother
they would sell their own children they
would lied they would cheat they would
be willing to do all kinds of things for
money but we need to be we need to be
clean and pure from that and there's a
there's a lot that said and even in the
New Testament about covetousness how
it's actually idolatry and so if that's
something also that could be maybe a God
that you you've taken an avenue or you
you have this little altar in your heart
towards this thing go ahead and just
break that one of the best ways to break
it is by giving the Lord what is
rightfully his which is the tithe praise
God
thank you Lord Jesus glory to God so
father we just give you praise we thank
you that there's freedom in your word
there's freedom in your Holy Spirit and
we thank you that you are good to us
that in many ways Lord you're so good to
us that we can even give beyond the
tithe and still have abundance
hallelujah so father we thank you in the
name of Jesus bless your people
in Jesus name Amen
I think it's in some ways sad that some
believers there they're not going to
tithe they're gonna hold back they're
not going to tithe no matter no matter
what you do no matter what you teach no
matter how you explain the Scriptures
are not going to tide but yet the
children of Israel were so blessed when
they tie then honor the Lord by
following his financial Commandments
they were so blessed at the seventh year
they could take the whole year off and
not work Wow
and really when you dive into the
Scriptures you'll notice they were
giving three types of tithes they were
also giving offerings on top of that
they were also coming up to the
Jerusalem three times for the three big
feast
it's just offering after offering and
tithing and so blessed they could take a
whole year off my friends I just want to
encourage you if you're not tithing tie
into the Covenant tie into the financial
covenant with the Lord and say goodbye
to the rat-race
say goodbye to trying to figure it out
and trying to do it in your own strength
because all of them are trying to figure
it out with their intellect there's
probably some people out there smarter
than you there's probably some people
out there with more of a hustle than you
so while we want to apply our wits and
we want to apply a hustle we also really
want to trust the Lord because the
blessing comes from him it originates
him he'll take you beyond what you could
ever do in your own strength even if you
worked watch this even if you work 20
hours a day and you slept for God could
still outdo what you could ever do with
your own maximum output trust the Lord
and give give the Lord an opportunity to
demonstrate to you his faithfulness and
his goodness by becoming a tither praise
God now at either again it's about
somebody who tries it once you know and
then they won't do it for three weeks
and they'll try it again and then they
won't do it for another month that
that's that's called inconsistency a
tight there is somebody that the moment
money hits your hand before you pay
bills before you start going out to get
you know the meal on Friday you take the
10 percent and you set it aside because
it's God's hallelujah and there are
other times when the Holy Spirit leads
you to give special offerings and then
out of the 90 you could take something
out of that for offerings trust me when
you serve the Lord you're gonna you're
gonna be able to do a lot more than just
10% and I know that makes many of you so
very very happy but I also know there's
a lot of people that watch you're young
in the Lord and you're on the edge
you're like on this fence trying that
and you're thinking yeah this is very
very scary very fearful the reason that
would be fear is because you just don't
know yet how solid and reliable your God
actually is but he's gonna come through
for you so I would encourage you Oh BAE
the Bible and things always work out
right for you let me just present this
before we receive the tithes and
offerings if things are not working out
right for you and you're not tithing
it's only going to get tighter it's not
gonna you're not you're not gonna
somehow it's gonna start working the
blessing comes from God tie-in to the
source of where all the blessing flows
from if it flows from God tie-in to the
Lord with a financial covenant give the
Lord his tithe and watch him bless and
protect and guard your life and rebuke
the Devourer and just you know preserve
and bless your life hallelujah
now father I just thank you for your
people as they're honoring you today

today let's talk about who you need to
call when you need a miracle in your
life who praise the Lord this this is
good stuff today my friends um I know
that you're thinking about Pastor Steven
you call upon God yes you do but there
are so many scriptures in the Bible that
say the name of the Lord is a strong
tower there there is such an emphasis on
the name of the Lord that we need to
understand the name of God and today we
want to talk about Jesus the Lord of
hosts
praise God when you need a miracle I
want you to call upon the Lord but I
want you to to acknowledge and recognize
Jesus as the Lord of hosts
because there's a special blessing with
that element of his name today let's go
to the area of first mention where the
term Lord of Hosts is actually revealed
for the first time to us in the Bible
theologians call it the law of first
mention when you examine the first time
something is unveiled in Scripture and
then it's used later in Scripture you
will see that the original time that
it's used it establishes a a marker or
identity and then you'll see that repeat
it in the other times that it's used
okay
so we're gonna jump over today to the
book of 1st Samuel this will be the
story of Hannah the lady who was barren
who couldn't have a child you know the
story she's going to end up getting a
miracle child she's gonna end up having
little Samuel but let's talk about how
she related to the Lord and how this
miracle unfolded now look if you need a
miracle
I want you to be able to call upon Jesus
I want you to be able to call upon him
as the Lord of Hosts understanding what
that means my friends everybody loves to
hear their name called I think it's one
of our favorite things of course when
they're calling for you in a nice tone
right when they're speaking to you in a
nice way
we all like to hear our name the same
way with God God really appreciates it
when one of his children has studied his
word to the point where they know his
name they know the special qualities of
his name and that really catches his
attention just like having your name
called would catch your attention as
well Heavenly Father we ask today that
you would open the eyes of our
understanding that your Holy Spirit
would move and unveiled to us Jesus as
the Lord of hosts
now we thank you O God your your showing
us this because you want to do miracles
in our life and so O God we were
believing you to release extraordinary
miracles in our lives that astound
people in the name of Jesus may it all
be for your glory amen
praise God now First Samuel Chapter one
let's just skip through a few verses
verse 2 says that Elkanah had two lives
God permitted it under the Old Covenant
it's not allowed today the apostles
revealed that to us in the epistles one
one life is all you get ladies one
husband is all you get back then they
they had a little more I wouldn't even
use the word freedom to do that but they
had they had that choice if they wanted
that mmm and it always caused the
trouble in with in that marriage
structure and within the family
structure when they got over into
multiple wives it was never like that
originally that was never God's original
tent it was one man one woman Adam and
Eve so this is going to create a problem
like it did and all of the other stories
where a man of God had more than one
wife okay he had two wives while like
I'm going to go ahead and say this one
of the
I love the state of Utah because of its
natural beauty but as you know Utah is
really a big home base for the Mormon
faith and the Mormon Church you know you
know they've told that all down but you
know for a long long time they've
allowed polygamy you know that a man
could have more than one wife and
they're their founder who I believe is a
false prophet Joseph Smith had many many
wives and some of those were little
bitty teenage girls and there was a lot
of real kooky stuff the more you
research the roots of the Mormon faith
the more you see that this guy was doing
nothing but dabbling in what we call
occultism and the really the way the
whole Book of Mormon was written was by
Joseph Smith sitting down at the table
with a scribe sitting next to him
writing everything he saw and what he
saw he would look into a black hat and
this book of Mormon the verse-by-verse
would be revealed to him like come on
look it into a black hat this is how you
got your holy book looking into a black
hat you know the more you look at the
origins of it the more you're like this
is some very very kooky stuff now I know
that the Mormon Church gives an image of
morality and we appreciate the fact that
they would bring a culture of morality
to our society but you know they just
don't understand that there's nobody
moral enough and good enough to get to
heaven it's nice that you want to be
moral but everybody has sinned and
fallen short of the glory of God in the
only way you're ever going to get to
heaven and get right with God is through
God's Son the Lord Jesus Christ and if
you don't accept him as your Lord and
Savior there is no other way to heaven
no matter how white your clothes are no
matter how to hell starts your clothes
are and no matter how many times you go
to church you're just not good enough to
make heaven in your own good works
praise God so we thank God for Jesus I
just thought I'd throw that out there no
telling who's watching but I trust that
will help minister to somebody it was
never a good idea the reason I also
brought up mute Allah so I drove through
at one time with another apostle friend
of mine and we drove through the state
said now Steve I'm about to go through
this one town he said you never have
seen a town like this before I said why
is that I'm not really familiar with
Utah I said why is that he said well the
whole town almost everybody that lives
in this town every man here has more
than one wife and some of the guys
living here have ten wives some of them
two wives
some of them five wives used to get
ready he said you're about to drive
through the kookiest town you've ever
seen in your life I said what what makes
it so kooky and weird
he said just just watch you'll see we're
about to come up to it and we came up to
it and drove through it and I said I
said to him I said why is every single
thing in this town from the houses to
the yards to the why is everything
half-finished he said it's a spirit
that's over this town that's associated
with these men with all of their
multiple wives there was not one house
out of that whole town there's a large
town by the way that was not incomplete
in some way it was the most bizarre
weird I've never seen anything like it
outside of the state of Utah but that's
all a part of that Mormon spirit and
that that false angel Moroni that that
false angel that visited that false
prophet who was deceived by it
long story short that's my take on that
praise God boil it all down one man one
woman and that's the way God planned it
praise God all right that took me a
little while to get past that verse
let's continue on verse three this man
that would be Elkanah went up from his
City yearly to worship and to sacrifice
to the Lord of hosts in Shiloh okay
so here's this man with his two wives
going up the sacrifice to the Lord of
Hosts that's where the tabernacle was at
that time he's sacrificing and that
doesn't just say the Lord here for the
first time in the Word of God we have
God's name revealed as the Lord of Hosts
and he's going up to worship the Lord of
Hosts to make sacrifices to the Lord of
Hosts so he would have known about God
at that time as the Lord of hosts there
would have been others I'm sure Eli
and others would have also have known
the Lord in this way but it's the first
time in the Word of God that we see this
name of God revealed this of course is
right at the conclusion of the judges
and God is going to begin to change
things where judges ruled and he's going
to bring forth a new prophetic age and
he's also going to begin to bring forth
the Kings over the nation praise God
okay verse 5 this is very interesting
but to Hannah he would give a double
portion for he loved Hannah although the
Lord had closed her womb and her rival
also provoked her severely to make her
miserable because the Lord had closed
her womb well verse 7 says that
year-by-year
she went up to the house of the Lord she
was provoked and she got to the point
where she's just weeping and she's
crying won't eat she's on the verge of
just about as we would say about ready
to pull her hair out of her head this is
not some little thing that you can get
over this is not some little thing well
let me go watch my favorite show on TV
or you know I'm a lady let me go
shopping and do something to make myself
happy and I'll get past this no this
thing has gotten to the point where
something has to be done for the sake of
her mental health and also because God
has put something in her heart where she
just can't tolerate this thing any more
okay here's here's what I want you to
see when the name of God revealed as the
Lord of Hosts is revealed he is being
revealed as the God who does miracles to
remove mocking against your life
criticism against your life scourging
against your life I'm talking like like
verbal scourging and forms of verbal
verbal humiliation and degradation
against your life now it doesn't mean
that he's gonna take your mockers away
it doesn't mean he's gonna remove your
enemy but it does mean that he's gonna
do something so dramatic he's gonna do
such a miracle in your life that even
though the enemies may still be there
you've got your thing you've got your
miracle and you're like hey you can
pretend to laugh all you
now but I I'm riding higher than you now
so go ahead and make fun of me all you
want I've got my blessing and my
blessings better than your blessing that
that is not something of sarcasm that is
not something of being rude but there is
an element of God will God will come
through and break through for you and
those that actually make fun of you and
would try to like humiliate you they'll
see that God has done something that
they may not say that God did it but
they'll say that hey on that you know
that person's in a higher place than I I
can't really I can't really poke them
anymore
Oh glory to God mmm get ready get ready
get ready for this amazing thing that
God wants to do in your life verse 10
she was in bitterness of soul and prayed
to the Lord and wept in anguish then she
made a vow and said O Lord of hosts
who's she praying to she's praying to
God Pastor Steven she's praying to God
what name of god is she invoking el
shaddai not this time el Elohim not this
time Jehovah Jireh know about this time
that was revealed to Abraham all these
beautiful names David discovered the
Lord is Jehovah Roey the Lord who is my
shepherd all these are maybes amazing
names your Jehovah to sidqa knew by the
Lord God my righteousness and on and on
it goes the compound names of God but
she is calling out to God in despair
because the humiliation and the abuse
she cannot take it anymore
because it says that the other wife of
her husband provoked her severely now
she cries out to the Lord and said first
of all she makes a vow then she said O
Lord of hosts
let's talk in just a moment about who he
is the Lord of hosts
if you will indeed look on the
affliction of your maidservant and
remember me and not forget your
maidservant but will give your
maidservant a male child then I will
give him to the Lord all the days of his
life and no razor shall come upon his
head while who is the Lord of hosts the
Lord of hosts is the lord of armies the
word host in the Hebrew means armies she
is calling out Hannah
calling out to the Lord of Hosts the
Lord of armies now don't limit this to
just natural armies although it covers
that first of all we have to understand
that the Lord of Hosts is the lord of
armies and that would refer to as we see
often in Scripture the army of angels
and so Jesus is the captain of the army
of angels and I believe that's who
Joshua met there at the at the river
area when this supernatural beam comes
and basically tells Joshua that he's on
holy ground
I believe Joshua was meeting the Lord
the captain of the angelic armies so
while Jesus is the Lord of Hosts the
Lord over all the angels how could we
say it he is the general that they're
all under and then you you know under
Jesus you have all of these other
leaders and then it's like it's like
rank-and-file just like it is in the
military praise God so he is the he is
the Lord of hosts host means armies so
he is the Lord of the army of angels he
is also the Lord of the armies of Israel
that would be the natural army of Israel
and you would see God work in so many
ways for the Israeli military under the
Old Covenant you would on you would see
the the the walls of Jericho just
suddenly invisibly just push down how
did that happen the angel army was there
doing all of these things also when the
when the Israelites crossed through the
Red Sea and the Egyptians chariot wheels
begin to come off all that is taking
place because of the angelic armies
but you still have the natural army of
Israel and this was something that God
blessed them the Lord was the head of
the natural army of Israel you may have
Joshua leading the army but the Lord is
still over Joshua you may have David
leading the army or the military of
Israel but he's still under the Lord's
command so the Lord is the Lord of Hosts
the Lord of the army the military
strength of the nation of Israel and if
you ever want to read about a military
an army that's had
miracle after miracle and has won
against impossible odds even in the
modern era read about the IDF the
Israeli army and of course the Israeli
Air Force you know their God is the head
of that Jesus is the lord of the army of
Israel including all the the branches
over the the air and over the sea and so
forth
praise God now Jesus the Lord of Hosts
the Lord of armies is also watch this
he's also Lord of all of the Gentile
armies even if they are unbelieving
nations and when God wanted to judge his
people because of their sin and the Lord
said hey I'm gonna have to punish you
because of your disobedience because
you've gone into paganism
you've gone into idolatry you've gone
into witchcraft you've gone into satanic
worship so I'm gonna have to punish you
and you're really not listening to me so
the only thing I can do is send in Who a
heathen nations army and the Babylonians
would come and God would call forbore
the Egyptians would come or you know
that the Assyrians would come and God
really was in control of those heathen
armies
isn't that amazing hallelujah this this
is the Lord of Hosts now when you read
about God Jesus as the Lord of Hosts you
have to understand that all of these
other heathen nations they have their
own culture their own belief system and
their own gods Israel is so unique
because it's monotheistic in other words
believes in just one God but the
surrounding nations they had their own
gods you would have the god of thunder
you know the day I was studying for this
message and I just heard thunder and I
thought you know you think in the modern
culture today where there's been a
revival of the the the Norse god of
thunder which would be Thor having gone
from the comic book script to movies and
now everybody today because of the
Marvel movies knows about Thor well that
was a pagan god of the of the Norse that
used they used to worship Him but all
these gods whether the gods of the
Greeks you had Zeus
you had his wife Hera and then you had
their God of strength there they're
copycat of Samson they had to Hercules
but you also they also had their gods of
the sea Poseidon even when Paul taught
in Corinth there was a temple there
dedicated to presiding sometimes they
call him Neptune that was there and so
all of these different gods even to the
point not just in the the ancient
history the ancient world but even when
Paul was in Athens a very and you know
like modern city with up you know
philosophers and you know all of these
uh famous teachers even even Paul said
in Acts chapter 17 verse 16 that his
spirit was stirred and grieved because
the whole city was given over to
idolatry and so they all had their
favorite gods so oh my god is the god of
gold well my god has got a brass well my
god is the god of thunder well my god is
the god of rain and lightning and on and
on it goes but here's the thing about
the Lord of Hosts he's the Lord that's
over all of it and that was the thing
that was wild is that Israel could say
we have one God the Lord of Hosts and
he's the God that made the Thunder oh
you worship the see where our God made
this the sea and everything in it wow
that must be a big God yes watch this
also when you read in Isaiah chapter 40
verse 26 how it talks about how God
created he created the stars that this
is the God the Lord of hosts who made
all the stars all the planets all the
solar systems all the galaxies all the
nebula he made all of that so he's not
just like you know the Greeks they
worship Mars and they worship Jupiter
and Saturn on all the planets in the
solar system are named after you know
mythological gods they used to worship
you know Mars the God of War and on and
on it goes
but God made all the planets so that you
know you had a group that would worship
Mars
well well God made Mars you know our God
made Mars God our God made the whole
universe so that the the the Jewish
concept was so different from everything
else one God he's Lord of all he's the
Lord of Hosts by the way that's Jesus
the Lord of Hosts Father Son Holy Spirit
one God three distinct
analyses but yet one God the Lord of
hosts the God as the Apostle Paul said
made everything whoo hallelujah earth
sky sea and everything that is therein
and he couldn't make commands all the
armies the armies the natural armies of
men the soldiers the angelic armies of
angels and so forth the heavenly armies
and the rabbis also taught about there
are the heavenly armies he commands the
Stars son stand still you know and on
and on it goes and the the planets you
know bow down the stars sing just
incredible incredible stuff God God
commands the the fish God called for a
well and here let me let me be
technically correct we don't know if it
was a well it's a large fish that
swallowed Jonah but how did that how did
that large fish know to do that God God
commanded the fish to do it and they're
all going to obey Him out in the
wilderness when the when the Israelites
were grumbling and complaining and
murmuring God sent snakes well why are
all of a sudden all of these adders and
snakes showing up we want to be I'd be
repenting real quick you know the last
thing you want to do is turn around
they're in your tent and there's a cobra
staring at you whoa I'd be like Lord I
can't handle snakes let's get let's get
this right I want to be living for you
and so you know yet
had Moses make the brazen altar that you
know they could hold up the brazen
emblem the snake on the on the on the
pole that was lifted up who praise the
Lord but why are all these snakes
showing up God God commends the armies
of snakes the armies of bugs the armies
of flies Pharaoh found that out in Egypt
God God is the Lord of all of these
armies glory to God it's incredible it's
incredible when you need a miracle when
you need a miracle call like Hannah did
upon the Lord of hosts
Jesus you're so wonderful and Jesus I
know that you're Jehovah Rover you're
the Lord God who is my shepherd Lord
that's so nice you make me lay down in
green pastures and not the smooth waters
Lord I just love it you restore my soul
but Lord today I need some warfare
accomplished Lord I'm being mocked
voices are making fun of me
would look down on me and say you know
there's this the god you server these
results you have in your life god I want
you to do a miracle in my life I want to
end all of their their verbal baloney
Lord just do something in my life where
they can't do that anymore do something
Lord that shuts them up well they still
might not like me they still might not
agree with me but lord do something epic
Lord God do something big in my life
hallelujah Lord of Hosts became the name
the you see here mentioned in the first
time first samuel chapter 1 verse 3 then
mentioned immediately thereafter in
verse 11 this name Lord of Hosts became
known among the Jewish people and still
today as the military name of God the
militant name of God did you know that
the Lord is a warrior even David said
the Lord teaches me to war I can bend a
bow of bronze I can leap over a wall and
when the anointing was on him and his
men they did do supernatural feats like
that and those things still happen today
absolutely I've heard so many miracles
with the Israeli army just stuff that is
just raw maracle's of what God has done
to give them victory against impossible
odds whew thank you Lord Jesus
hallelujah I'm so glad as a nation that
we can stand with Israel and that we
have a president that that stands with
the nation of Israel if you ever take
opposition against Israel you're on the
wrong side you never want to do that
even if Israel is not doing everything
right that you know they even today they
have a lot of things that I'm not saying
I agree with and that you know they're
one of the main proponents of
homosexuality in the Middle East in
really and all came out of the Middle
East and has spread around the world and
you know that that's a real grief to the
to the rabbi's in Jerusalem they're just
incredibly grieved by that because they
know what the Word of God says they know
they know that's a sin that's wrong
that's not right so you know I don't
agree with everything that Israel and
endorses but I do know that God made a
covenant with Abraham Isaac Jacob Jacob
whose name was changed to Israel and
there's a blessing upon
hallelujah and that blessing is for the
whole world who not just for them for
the whole world so we want to we want to
try the shield Israel bless Israel this
demonic thing of BDS you know boycott
divest and sanction Israel is straight
from hell this it's satanic is straight
from him from hell
anybody that would try to hurt the
economy of Israel you know you're
setting yourself up for a horrible
backlash praise the Lord
Lord God would give you praise and glory
today okay so Lord of Hosts the military
name of the Lord okay so the Lord of
Hosts wants to do a miracle in your life
the Lord of Hosts did a great miracle
for Hannah she was pregnant she became
pregnant because she cried out to God
God heard her prayer the the priest a
man of God agreed with her and God did
it hallelujah says he remembered her
that would that word in the Hebrew the
word remember it's not like our English
word for remember we're you know like oh
I remember your name I know who you are
no in the Hebrew to remember me means
not just memory or intellectual recall
it also means I'm going to do something
for you I've got the power and I'm gonna
do it right now
because I'm thinking about you and I'm
not just thinking about you to think
about you I'm thinking about you and I'm
gonna do something for you praise God
and he certainly did she became pregnant
and had this wonderful child whose name
was Samuel who was raised as a prophet
of God anointed as a prophet and was a
great great blessing to the nation of
Israel but all of this because she had
faith in God she called up to God she
wanted a miracle she wanted all the
mocking all the humiliation to be dealt
with she was being provoked severely and
she called out to who first time
mentioned in the Word of God the Lord of
Hosts Jesus is the Lord of Hosts he is
the Lord of all of the armies and he has
provision supply and empowerment to get
through to you what you need whether
it's the angelic army it doesn't matter
whether ever he has command over all of
the armies glory to God and he can work
he can work in your life to do a member
do you need a miracle today maybe you're
barren the same God that touched her
womb can touch your womb and give you a
child through your your godly husband
blessed be the name of the Lord maybe
you're barren financially
God can heal your finances glory be to
the Lord I believe today is a day to
call upon the Lord of hosts
I believe that this is an endtime
revelation for the church let's talk
about it more look at 1st Samuel chapter
2 verse 1 after the miracle has happened
and Hannah prayed and said my heart
rejoices in the Lord my horn or my
strength is exalted in the Lord I smile
at my enemies because I rejoice in your
salvation she said I smile at my enemies
hey how come you're not laughing at me
now Wow
cuz I've got my child too and not only
do I have a child my child serves at the
temple not only do I have a child now
but my child has a calling not only do I
have a child not only did God do a
miracle for me but my child shall be
used to make a lasting legacy within the
nation of God's own people so stop
laughing at me over there in the corner
hallelujah cuz I got my blessing - glory
to God now you may still have people
that are jealous you met cuz you got if
people walk in the flesh they could get
in the jealousy real quick and and trust
me there's a lot of jealousy in the
ministry Oh pastor Steven I thought all
the ministers floated on air and they
all backed each other and supported each
other and all laid their lives down for
each other some do but some are just
jealous jealous jealous hallelujah hmm
and the truth be told some of them would
actually like to see you fail young
ministers have to tell you that and some
of you that are older in the ministry
you know that's the truth there can be
sometimes ministers with so much
jealousy they would ever actually make
them happy if you flopped and failed and
you got out of the ministry then they
would actually be happy that you didn't
make it mmm it's horrible but it's true
glory to God hallelujah there's a lot of
there's a lot of competition there's a
lot of machinery of men's working within
the ministry and and some of these
people that are the some of these
ministers are better in the flesh they
were very very much opposed against the
true anointing and so they have they
have like a Polish they have a natural
charisma whatever and so when they see a
Holy Spirit charisma and in the 19
they're threatened by it and jealousy
rises up because it actually unveils
them for what they really are limited
and only walking in what they can do
because they can't do that but when they
see the true anointing it's actually an
insult to them Wow so what happens a lot
of jealousy they don't want they want
they don't want you to succeed they
would like to see you shut down go off
the air go out of business or whatever
the case might be or get out of the
ministry but you know what God anoints
his faithful servants and you know what
that's why God does these types of
things because the Lord of hosts he will
lift you up and bless you right in the
presence of your enemies even David
discovered that in the beautiful salt
the Shepherd in Psalm Psalm 23 the
beautiful sweet Jehovah Roey who still
said I'll make a I'll make a table for
you right in the presence of your
enemies see God listen doesn't promise
to take your enemies away sometimes he
will in rare instances if they are so
vile and so full of hatred that it could
it could do something do something where
God says you've gone past a line like
Herod did inherit was struck by an angel
and then he was consumed later and died
by worms it weren't worms actually ate
him up from the inside but but you know
what oftentimes God will leave the
enemies around and they have to watch
while you're blessed whoa and you're
talking about jealous wooja then well
they could be jealous but you know what
that they can't they can't do these some
of these things they've been disarmed
why God's lifted you higher than them
and gods did a miracle for you right in
front of them maybe I shouldn't say it
but God just let some eat it I'm gonna
I'm gonna I just went ahead and said it
God just got God there's a part of God
look I know he's loving and kind and
saying he's sarcastic but there's a
point got to lift you up right in front
of people just let them eat it just let
them hear it just let them have to just
sit there and just be miserable and I've
had there was one time that I had some
ministers try to hijack a meeting that
me and my wife were hosting we did all
the work we bring all the speakers in
pay thousands and thousands of dollars
of the International airfare you know do
all the hotel work and do all of this
stuff and pour our hearts out and some
others behind the scenes came and tried
to hijack the whole meeting try to
hijack my speakers and tried to do this
the most just really things that were
very disrespectful things that if he
walked in love you you wouldn't want
somebody to do that to you but yet they
were doing it to me behind my back and
God sent a prophetess and the prophetess
began to prophesy over me in front of
the very ministers who are trying to do
me wrong behind my back and she started
prophesying and she belonged to their
camp and started prophesying out loud Oh
Stephen thus says the Lord you do all
the work and these who haven't paid the
price they come in and tried to steal
the work you've done they tried to spend
and this says the Lord they try to stand
on your shoulders and take credit for
that which they did not even do and she
began to woo probably she's prophesied
about them I don't even think she knew I
don't even think she time a hundred
percent sure that she didn't know it was
them only God could know but she's just
letting it fly that's what a good
prophet will do just let it just yield
and let whatever God wants to say come
out and she did she had no idea she's
prophesying to those in her own stream
her own camp who had done that to me and
they had to sit there and she didn't
stop she kept on going and I actually
felt and I actually felt like Lord
you're really embarrassing the ones that
did that to me lord I I forgive them I
don't hold anything that that hurt me
what they did but I've already forgiven
them but the Lord said he said how can I
say it the Lord's just like I'm not
letting them off the hot seat and she
just kept on prophesying to the point it
got so hot and it got so hot with what
exposure
they begin one-by-one to get up with
their and walk out with their heads down
Wow
woohoo I smile at my enemies Wow I'm
smiling you can you can hate me you can
be jealous you may not like me I love
you I don't have anything against you
but you you can do all your stuff I just
smile why I got my Samuel the Lord of
Hosts watch out don't mess with the Lord
of Hosts mmm
Jesus the Lord of Hosts you I'm telling
you you'll see a different side you'll
see a different side you'll see the
warrior king oh my my my my my well so
we followed the law of first mention
unveiled here in 1st Samuel chapter 1
the Lord of Hosts and you see the same
thing you see the same thing working
working throughout the scriptures when
Goliath began to taunt mmm the armies of
Israel this is what he said come to me
and I will give your flesh to the birds
of the air and the beasts of the field
what's going on what is going on the
same thing
verbal taunting humiliation of the
entire army of Israel and you know the
guys were just like man we can't take
this guy on if we do is it's like a
suicide you know what on one thing and
and and the enemy's just pouring it on
taunting provoking and just really
grinding it mmm sticking the verbal
knife and twisting it making it
miserable let me tell you what that's
very very dangerous for the enemy to do
why there is a Lord of hosts and all it
takes is one person who and who knows
the Lord as the Lord of hosts and the
enemies all suddenly go to get
embarrassed the enemy is suddenly going
to get humiliated I know Goliath is
having this moment but he's messing with
the wrong the wrong camp all it takes is
one person in that camp to know really
who the Lord of Hosts is and he's about
to have his day
mmm-hmm telling David come to me I'll
give your flesh to the birds of the air
and the beasts of the field then David
said to the Philistine you come to me
with a sword with the spear and with a
javelin I would probably say also with a
whole lot of muscles but I come to you I
come to you in the name of the Lord of
hosts do you ever catch that Wow I come
to you in the name of the lord of the
armies and god could flip your army and
make your army work for him in a second
if he wanted to and by the way he did do
that a few times with the Philistine
army how about that whew when they
captured the Ark of the Covenant God God
just proves he's too hot they actually
God actually forced them to send the ark
back whoo just too hot the presence of
God too hot mmm I come to you in the
name of what name does he use Jehovah
Jireh no no that's not the place for
that when you need a miracle that will
shut up the enemy the taunting the
provoking and you've just had it with
the way people look down on you and you
you just you're just fed up with it
there is a place of righteousness in
that where you just said Lord I'm coming
to you and I want to I want to see a
breakthrough like you did for Hannah
Lord let's deal with this thing
hallelujah they meant they might not
like me they may not understand me I
mean even Jesus says they hated him
without a cause yes there were people
that hate it sweet sinless innocent
Jesus not only disliked him they hated
him and he didn't do anything wrong
so yes you're gonna have jealous people
in your career field you're gonna have
jealous people on the path that God has
for you and so you need to know the Lord
of Hosts you need to know Jesus the lord
of the armies hmm but I come to you in
the name of the Lord of hosts the god of
the armies of Israel whom you have
defied well wasn't just a few minutes
later and Goliath has been decapitated
because the Lord of Hosts has moved upon
his anointed servant and now Goliath has
a big bad headache and now his head has
been cut off and now the armies of the
Philistines are fleeing and now the army
of the Lord is advancing praise God
he'll do it for you too and he will end
he will end the mocking and the
provoking of the enemy Wow thank you
Lord Jesus
thank you Lord Jesus today we give you
praise we give you praise let's look at
one more I like this one by the way when
you know the Lord as Lord of hosts he's
broken through for you why not just go
ahead and get another miracle and that's
what happened to Hannah she's like hey
Lord this is all right Lord of Hosts I
like you you gave me a miracle child and
she bore five more they did it once can
he do it again blow a hallelujah
well David David Wow you took down
Goliath you knew the Lord as the Lord of
hosts
you took out you took down Goliath hey
that was epic
why not why not do something why not do
something also in the name of the Lord
of Hosts that will also be so big that
will it will sin reverberations
throughout the whole land and now the
whole land will begin to know that this
nation of Israel is now a nation that's
on the rise woo glory to God why don't
we do something big bigger than Goliath
David did you'll see it in 2nd samuel
chapter 5 verse 3 therefore all the
elders of israel came to the king of
Hebron and King David made a covenant
with him and he bran before the Lord and
they anointed David king over Israel now
now unified nation Oh were you gonna
meet up with your new nation I mean yes
we understand that it has been a nation
hour
ready established through Jacob whose
name was changed to Israel we have the
12 tribes we have some momentum but we
don't really have that national identity
that we're still looking for
oh that's about the change praise the
Lord you need if you have a nation you
need a national headquarters oh by the
way just read the Bible you'll find out
who Jerusalem really belongs to mmm
Pastor Steven Tel Aviv is the capital of
Israel oh that's just a bunch of meloni
that's just a bunch of politicizing read
the Bible my friends find out find out
the true capital of Jerusalem I'm glad
that Trump had the guts to do the right
thing and just stop all the political
baloney hallelujah my friends when you
get to heaven you're gonna watch videos
and you're gonna have history played
back you're gonna you're gonna be
stunned how much politicking and baloney
and cowardly stuff was done for the sake
of politics and it happens in religion
it happens in in national you know
leadership let's just do the right thing
hallelujah let's do what God wants to
have done and the king at his men went
to Jerusalem verse 6 against the
Jebusites the inhabitants of the land
who spoke to David saying you shall not
come in here Oh Oh
more mocking why is it that every time
you see Lord of hosts
you see taunting of the enemy provoking
of the enemy mocking of God's choice
God's servant God's pic God's plan God's
city God's man God's woman every time
you were to see it why it is established
as the law of first-mentioned
now look at this they said the David's
you shall not come in here but the blind
and the lame will repel you thinking
there's no way David's going to get in
here David you're not going to get into
our city this city is so fortified so
impregnable you can't get in matter of
fact we could put blind people on the
wall oh what an insult to a warrior
we could put blind people up on the wall
and lame people that can't even walk and
you still can't get in David's like you
don't know who you're messing with you
don't know you don't know who I know I
know the Lord of Hosts and I'm this guy
that took down Goliath because of my
covenant with the Lord of not just the
Lord the Lord of Hosts watch what I'm
about to do to you give me just a few
male take your cities so fast it's gonna
make your head spin mmm by this time the
Sun's up it's gonna have a new king
I liked your city you shouldn't have
messed with me
[Music]
some people don't know you're catching a
revelation they're gonna probably wish
they had never done those things they're
gonna they're gonna have to watch while
openly and publicly God does a miracle
and they're gonna have to eat it mr.
Steven I I'm not that kind of person
that they don't have to see it know
God's gonna make them watch God's gonna
make them watch they degraded you they
humiliated you they spoke against you
they verbalize the most horrible things
against you and that they would have
done lighted in your collapse but God's
gonna do a breakthrough for you right in
front of them and let God do it he wants
to do hallelujah let God be the god he
wants to be
hallelujah let God show up would you
please let God show off hallelujah don't
hide your lamp under a bushel would you
please let God show off for you he wants
to receive the glory hallelujah thank
you Lord Jesus somebody you're catching
a new revelation of the Lord you maybe
didn't know that Jesus is the Lord of
hosts you maybe you know you didn't know
this well well he still is I'm not done
yet I'll show you something that I will
guarantee you he is still the same way
today thank you Lord Jesus
nevertheless David took the stronghold
as I am that is the City of David
hallelujah he took it he took it mmm
look at verse 10 right after that right
after that where it says he took it so
David went on and became great why why
the Lord God of hosts was with him oh
the warrior king the warrior king is
anointing him as the warrior king over
the leader of the king of Israel oh the
war the warrior King Jesus is not only
king over David but he's also king over
the armies of Israel he's also king over
the angelic armies where David could
just kick back and receive an
instruction from the Lord and the Lord
says when you hear the marching in the
top of the mulberry trees that's when
you move in other words my angelic army
is moving
the national army of Israel boom go out
take them down whoo hallelujah a working
relationship with Jesus the Lord of
Hosts say that say I am establishing a
working relationship with Jesus the Lord
of Hosts ooh and we are moving together
David went on and became great and the
Lord God of hosts was with him that name
is being used there on purpose may you
receive the same revelation to the glory
to the glory into the honor of the Lord
mm-hmm the days of the enemy mocking you
and taunting you and trying to humiliate
you there they're about to end don't be
surprised if they end in 24 hours glory
to God stay in faith keep worshiping the
Lord is the lord of hosts and he'll take
you from greater victory greater victory
and greater victory nobody up until that
time could take Jerusalem if they took
it they only took it for a short period
of time Joshua
they sent a conquest in there they took
Jerusalem but it didn't last they
couldn't hold it the Jebusites took it
back but it took David a man who had a
revelation of the warrior King Jesus as
the warrior king Yeshua as the warrior
king the Lord of Hosts that that that
the begin to break through my friends
how can I say this in a polite way some
of you been on the cruise ship for too
long you've been just floating through
the charismatic church through lot too
long maybe maybe you've been laying just
just reading one grace book after
another I love grace I could read grace
books until Jesus came back but where is
the cloud moving the clouds moving to
the warrior king ooh
glory glory glory yes I'll take the
revelation of grace with you don't
abandon it don't put your books away
keep them on the Shelf take them out
time time and read them but you have to
understand you have to understand the
cloud is moving and you would need to
follow the cloud you're gonna have
you're gonna have you're gonna get
burned out you're gonna be real dry why
the cloud covered the Israelites when
they traveled through the wilderness and
provided air-conditioning provide it
protection and the fire by night you
follow the fire by night
cloud by day you follow them in other
words follow the moving of the Holy
Spirit and the Holy Spirit is giving a
revelation that you need to you need to
like get off the cruise ship and you
need to get on the battleship boom boom
boom boom firing the big guns boom time
for battle and as I look it's happening
all over the world not just in America
it's happening in the world there's a
purging going on even in the Chinese
Church the heat you know that the media
in America doesn't cover this they don't
cover anything about the persecution
that will come against God's people but
there is a heavy heavy wave of
persecution sweeping through China in
towns and in villages all over China
they are the government is having all
crosses taken down I mean the heat is
even being really put against what
formerly it was known as the three-self
patriotic Church was the national
governmental church which is just kind
of like a shale Church you know what the
government pasture plugged-in they've
had a little bit of freedom governments
even beginning to just closed all of
those churches and the underground
Church is really having to be
underground and what is creating what
this great wave of persecution is really
a refining and a purging of the true
church praise God and so it's not time
it's not time to be on a cruise ship
it's time to be in battleship mode
you're gonna have to really pray and
really hear from God to get
breakthroughs and getting miracles that
this is not the time to just be flying
around and lounge it around watch out in
America also praise God because you you
did this is a time to move with God move
with God hallelujah
well pastor Steve and that's not really
my anointing well you need to get a reel
on it you need to get a new anointing
from the Holy Spirit I would suggest you
get it quick a quick anointing and a
quick revelation because this is the
direction that the church is going and
Jesus is being unveiled as Jesus Yeshua
the Lord of Hosts glory be to God
hallelujah she said I smile at my
enemies there may be persecution you may
be misunderstood but God's gonna do some
things in this hour in this day that are
so big
and glorious and powerful that although
they may not like you although they may
not join you although they may not
support you they're gonna have to stand
back and they're gonna have to watch you
smile because you're so blessed whoo
by the way they can't touch you they
can't take you out either you're blessed
angel armies Angel armies all over you
just like there was with the prophet
Elijah and Elijah camping literally
around you mmm I'm mindful of the server
I'm God Roland buck where where the
angel Army's set up headquarters in his
own house watch out that's a revelation
for some of you there will be angelic
outpost in your own house and there'll
be time as well God will open your your
spiritual eyes and you can see them an
entire camp my haenam double camp set up
bear on your own property very very
important that you own your own property
God's gonna take you in the property
ownership
get ready believe I got believe God for
that some of you need to believe the
Lord of Hosts for that you know where
you just you get out of that situation
where somebody's always over you
hallelujah hallelujah and if you call
out to Jesus as the Lord of Hosts and
worship him they'll do breakthrough
miracles for you praise God hmm now this
is what some some people think they
think well pastor Stephen this is nice
under the Old Covenant you know where we
see the the names of God unveiled and
you see things like Jehovah Nissi jehova
sholom jehova Jireh and on and on it
goes these beautiful names of God the
Lord of Hosts but some people think well
pastor Steven you don't really see that
in the New Testament and you don't you
don't see it that much although it is in
the New Testament in the book of Romans
and also in the book of James the same
name both mentioned but I want you to
see Jesus unveiled to you as the Lord of
hosts
even in the New Testament let's take a
look at it right now because I believe
it's time for a miracle I believe that
the mocking of the enemy the being made
fun of the enemy that God wants to do
something so
significant in your life that you've now
become a great blessing you become a
leader you become guts gonna put it an
anointing on you hallelujah gots gonna
put his blessing upon you glory to God
we're that you just look at them and you
smile hallelu just smile just you're so
blessed you you don't hate them you
don't have any animosity or any
unforgiveness against them but you just
know you're blessed hallelujah and look
a lot of the persecution can even come
from other believers I would even say
sometimes that some of the most in
America at least or in the Western
Church some of the most severe
persecution can be verbal persecution or
articles written against you or videos
created about you to slander you and it
can come many times from Christians who
don't understand the Holy Spirit many
times they're not spirit filled but even
in even in the spirit filled camp we
could use that that terminology even
some people that are filled with the
Holy Spirit and speak in tongues they
they still may not understand the
goodness of God the blessing of the Lord
they may still hurl some verbal stones
but a lot of times it comes from those
that are not baptized in the Holy Spirit
and they just pull back their verbal
slingshot and fire away but you know
what just going to bounce off of you
you're gonna have the armor of Christ on
you're gonna have the love of God on
it'll just bounce off of you and you
just smile just like Hannah you just so
blessed you're just gonna smile
hallelujah because why you've got your
miracle Samuel you got your miracle that
thing that God gives you to alleviate
your soul and then again you catch that
revelation if he did it once he can do
it again
you get another child she went on the
hip five more children David not only
took out Goliath through revelation as
Lord of hosts
but he also went on the do but the
others couldn't do before he finally was
the one that took Sion and took
Jerusalem from the Jebusites praise God
mmm
Lord Jesus we give you praise today
let's go to James chapter 5 God wants to
do a great miracle in your life James 5
verse 1 come now you rich weep and howl
for your miseries that are coming
upon you your riches are corrupted and
your garments are moth-eaten your gold
and silver are corroded and the
corrosion will be a witness against you
and will eat your flesh like fire you
have heaped up treasure in win in
win-win-win-win-win you have heaped up
treasure win in the last days what I'm
about to share with you is a last a
revelation of Jesus what Jesus is doing
in the last days get off the battle get
us usually get off the cruise ship get
on the battleship you're about to meet
Jesus as the Lord of hosts this is a
last day revelation indeed the wages of
the laborers who mowed your fields which
you kept back by fraud cry out and the
cries of the weeper of the Reapers have
reached the ears of who the Lord of
Sabaoth now many people just skimming
through the bible reading the bible
think it says the lord of the sabbath
that's not what it says this does not
say the lord of the sabbath says the
lord of sabaoth who is the lord of
sabaoth what's the Lord of Hosts some
some modern translations that would just
paraphrase it would come right out and
say the Lord of Hosts but here what
you're seeing is a loss of meaning
through what is known by translators as
transliteration in other words let me
give you an example one time I was in
Israel on tour with our tour group and I
was teaching about the prophet Elijah
and I would say had an Elijah called
down fire from heaven right here you
know at this spot and you know up on
Mount Carmel and you know teaching about
the prophet Elijah and as soon as I
finished teaching and I you know I got
away from my little group just for a
minute as I'm heading back towards the
bus and we get away from the crowds my
my Israeli born and raised in Israel
Jewish tour guide just looked at me with
the funniest expression and said Stephen
he said how how do you Americans get
these names for our biblical characters
I said like who he said he said like he
said where in the world do you get the
name he lied you're from I said I know
what you're thinking he's
well he said his name is Ilya who he
said how in the world do you guys get
the name Elijah he said we don't even
have a J in our alphabet did the the
letter J does exist how do you get
Elijah
well because of transliteration and what
the translators would do sometimes
particularly with names they would see a
Hebrew name and maybe they were ringing
it over into the Greek which is what the
New Testament was written in and they're
thinking well in the Greek this we have
to get it you know to this audience so
they can understand it and this you know
Greek speaking audience doesn't
understand Hebrew so we need to give it
a name that they can understand so let's
take the name Eliahu and let's move the
name over to Elijah
oh okay now our English readers can
understand that or let's take the name
James writer of the New Testament I mean
I come on James really back in the
Lord's Day Jesus's half-brother was
actually named James that the name James
did not exist in Hebrew culture so what
it actually was was Jacob or you know
let's add a J to it Jacob oh that's
still too Jewish let's bring it over
with the transliteration into the other
Greek writings and let's make it James
oh okay that fits good now our readers
can understand that that's called the
transliteration sometimes people that
are of Asian culture when they come to
America they will not tell you they're
new or they will not tell you they're
real Asian name because we have a real
hard time saying it and so they'll just
they'll tell you their name like well my
name is you know Susie or my name is
John or the make up an English name and
that's the name they'll present to you
well the name Susie is not their real
name they're just saying that because
they know that their national name from
their Asian cultures is a tongue twister
and we're never going to be able to say
it or even if we can it's going to turn
it's gonna take us a long time to
finally learn it and so they just say
all my name is Susie or John or whatever
it might be knowing that's not their
real name what is that a transliteration
Lord of Sabaoth
is a transliteration which is why a lot
of people don't know what it's talking
about it is the Lord of Hosts now let's
jump back to Hannah's date when it says
Lord of Hosts what does it really say in
Hebrew it actually says if you want to
pronounce it in the Hebrew language your
hobo sivanna okay your hova serve up or
let's let's make it easier jehovah Sivan
if you look at it the way it's written
it actually looks like it says Jehovah
to Sabah but the Israelis don't
pronounce it like that the T is silent
is it's Jehovah is Jehovah Saval
but if you need to just calling lord of
sabaoth praise God or if you want to
make it easy as possible
Jesus Lord of hosts Jesus Lord of hosts
Lord of all the armies the armies in the
earth the armies in the heavens the Lord
0 your lord over the planetary heavens
that army the army of stars the army of
angels larger lord over all you're the
lord of all over all the armies lord I
worship you and if you will do that if
you will do that you will step into the
endtime Revelation as Jesus celebrate it
by the Israelis as the warrior king they
this is the element where they know God
as the warrior king the military king
and God will begin to do mighty warfare
for you hallelujah
and what God is doing is that when the
mockery is coming through human voices
the human voices are yielding to evil
spirits and so what did this there's
spiritual warfare going on so when the
natural voices are silenced it's because
God is showing off the resurrected power
of Christ Jesus
host to the principalities and powers
and basically saying I defeated you at
Calvary just want you to know it boom
here's a miracle for my son or daughter
hallelujah and suddenly they get quiet
and you just you just stand there
smiling that's all you have to do after
the Lord does it just stand there and
smile and just say Lord you did it Jesus
Lord of Hosts so if you don't really
learn you know what transliteration is
you know Lord of Sabaoth if you don't
really learn to Hebrew your hova Sabbagh
that that's okay just thank you very
much
Lord of Hosts captain of all of the
armies Jesus I worship you and I'm
asking you to do a miracle for me such a
great miracle that will silence all the
criticism and we'll do something so
glorious that they have to see it that
reveals your glory and your honor and
your your blessing upon my life whoo
hallelujah praise God praise the Lord
forevermore
I would suggest in this realm of God
doing miracles that it's something
actually a miracle they need to see a
healing the salvation of your loved one
radically saved and changed now serving
God when they they cursed that person
and felt that person would end up in
hell you believe God and the Lord of
Hosts answered you and God said angels
now your child has been delivered now
they're serving God and they have to
think wow that's the person we were
willing to throw away and just say
there's no way that person will let you
know we call the person worthless or
whatever now they see it see we're
talking about miracles that the skeptics
and the daughters have to see because
God has so turned your situation are you
ready for God to do a miracle in your
life here he is the Lord of Hosts
mentioned in the book of James actually
the book of Jacob you can't get any more
New Testament than that praise God
blessed be the name of the Lord lift
your hands right now the Holy Spirit
wants to identify you to you that area
that Jesus wants to do a miracle in your
life
look this is not the time to ask God for
20 things this is the time to ask God
for one one thing pinpoint that one
thing and we're going to ask that the
Lord of Hosts release a mighty miracle
would release a mighty angel into your
life and that a miracle happen in your
life and that all of this provocation be
ended glory to God let me tell you the
provocation is is originating from evil
spirits working through people that are
yielding to the evil spirits and yes
sometimes even believers can yield to
evil spirits and can be voices for the
voice of Satan himself but we're going
to keep on praising God serving God and
God wants to refresh and bless you right
in the midst of it get ready get ready
get ready lift your hands right now to
Jesus the Lord of Hosts God of all the
earth and the universe who created and
made all of it we don't need a bunch of
