my message this morning how far are you
prepared to trust God how far are you
prepared to trust God
hallelujah heavenly father I thank you
for the Living Word of God the truth
that sets us free when it’s anointed by
the holy spirit so I pray Holy Spirit
you come now and you speak to everyone
within the sound of my voice that no one
leave this church this building today
without being transformed by Your Word
through your spirit Lord I acknowledge
you I got this from you on my knees and
I pray Lord that it go directly to the
heart sanctify me that I preach it in
your Holiness amen I want you to turn to
the Book of Malachi and just leave it
open if you will PE please the last book
in the Old Testament if you leave that
open on your lap I’m going to be
referring to Mal the first chapter
especially the first chapter of
Malachi amen how far are you prepared to
trust
God in in prayer
recently I put this question to the Lord
Lord how far can I go in trusting you
with every single detail of my
life how involved Lord you want to be in
in all my decision making
my question to him was Lord are you are
you ready to give me direction and
answer for everything I submit to you
are you looking for me are you looking
for that kind of relationship that I can
take absolutely everything every problem
every decision to the Lord Jesus Christ
to the Holy Spirit and get an answer and
I’ll tell you my friends the
scriptures answer that question loud and
clear there can be no mistake about it
no compromise
with this truth it is all through the
word of God not only does God desire to
be involved in Every Act and every
detail of our life he will have it no
other way he will have it no other way
the Bible says in Proverbs 3:5 and 7
trust in the Lord with all thine heart
lean not to thine own understanding in
all thy ways acknowledge Him consult him
go to him and he will direct your path
Jeremiah 9:23 God says let him that
glorieth glory in this that he
understandeth and knoweth me that I am
the Lord which exercise loving kindness
judgment and righteousness in the Earth
for in these things I Delight sayeth the
Lord now what that means is simply this
if you’re going to say that you know the
Lord God says make sure you know me in
the way I want to be known I want you to
know me that I take pleasure
in exercising or getting involved in
loving kindness judgment the word
judgment here is final decision in all
things the word judgment there in Hebrew
is final decision in all things God says
I take Delight when you trust me with
every decision in your life that is my
delight see without faith it’s
impossible to please him but this is
Faith in trusting him with every single
decision every deta
in our
lives he said if you’re going
to boast that you know me know me in
this way that I take pleasure in taking
control of your life I get my pleasure
from that the Bible says the eyes of the
Lord run to and fro throughout the whole
earth to show himself strong in behalf
of those whose hearts are perfect toward
him that word perfect means fully
dependent God says I search the Earth
for those children of mine who are fully
dependent on my mind on my direction not
making their own choices not going their
own
way now this was given by the prophet
Han to ASA King ASA had sought the Lord
for all directions but it came a
situation in his life a crisis when
Israel was attacking and rather than go
to God and consult
him he strictly made his own mind up
consulted nobody a few of his princes
and they decided to bribe the syrians to
come down and fight Israel and Israel
was attacked from the north and uh so
that Israel left off uh attacking Asia
and
Judah and this is the
rebuke of prophet h to King ASA he said
what he saying in essence God had a
plan you didn’t have to go to the
Heathen you didn’t have to make up your
own mind God had a plan because the eyes
of the Lord run to and fr the whole
earth to show himself strong to those
whose hearts are fully dependent on him
if you had depended on the Lord if you
gone to the Lord and consulted him he
would have made a way but now because
you’ve chosen your way you’re going to
have the wars and confusion the rest of
your life and folks when you go Own Way
make your own choices it leads to war it
lead war in your home war in your family
war on the job war in your career
everywhere your business because you did
not consult the Lord in all
things this psalmist said God looks down
from the height of his Sanctuary from
Heaven the Lord beholds the Earth the
eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous
and here’s what it mean means God looks
down and he beholds the Earth and his
eyes are on us he’s absolutely involved
in our lives and when it says he looks
down from the heights his eyes are upon
us means there’s nothing escapes his
attention
nothing I’m telling you that God is
involved in your life whether you know
it or not he has been involved from the
very
beginning he Bible said he’s acquainted
with all our ways he’s
acquainted scripture says he knows it
when we sit down he knows when we rise
up Bible said he understands every
thought a far off he compasses our path
it means he to takes notice of every
detail of our daily
life there is not a word in your tongue
that the Lord knows it he knows it
altogether the scripture says Thou Hast
beset me surrounded me behind and before
such knowledge is too wonderful me I
cannot even attain to it
I want to tell you something before you
were born God was involved with you he
numbered Your Parts when you were in
your mother’s
womb he absolutely numbered he knows
every cell in your body Bible said he
counted every hair that you were going
to have you didn’t have any when you
came out of out of the womb but he
numbered every hair you’d have to this
very day he was
involved he has been involved from the
found foundation of the world and every
detail of Our
Lives thine eyes have seen my unformed
substance thou did weave me in my
mother’s womb my days have been ordained
for me when as yet there had not been
any of them in other words God said I’ve
chosen your path I know all about you
before you were born amazing now let me
tell you what all this means to me God’s
been dealing with me about this very POS
ly this says to me God has the time God
has the desire he has the power to make
all my decisions and if I would go all
the way trusting him in
everything laying every care upon Him
Consulting him for direction on every
matter in my life in my home on my job
my Ministry everything I consult the
Lord and trust him he will take over
full management of my life and Ministry
he’ll take over the full
management now this has everything to do
with the
scripture in the in he in in Romans 121
a very familiar
scripture scripture that says I beseech
you therefore Brethren by the mercies of
God that you present your body a Living
Sacrifice holy acceptable unto God which
is your reasonable
service now this sacrifice and I want to
show this to you this morning this
sacrifice that Paul is talking about has
everything to do with going all the way
with the Lord and trusting him with
every decision in your life now remember
it’s not just a Living Sacrifice it has
to be holy and has to be acceptable unto
God now many people go to the Lord and
say Lord I give you my life I sacrifice
I Lay My Life down now folks it’s not
just talking about becoming a martyr
it’s not talking simply about being
willing to burn out for Jesus goes much
deeper than
that I’m talking now to those of you in
this congregation those who are hearing
me who want to go away with the Lord
you’re tired of making
mistakes you’re tired of all the turmoil
that goes with things going wrong and
disorder in your home or your wife or
your life and your
job listen very very closely about this
matter presenting your body as a living
acceptable sacrifice unto
God acceptable holy sacrifice simply
means this giving full control of your
life and future into the hands of the
Lord giving up all management folks when
the sacrifice was laid on the altar it
lost all control of its
Destiny there was no more control of the
destiny nothing all decisions were in
the hands of the high priest from that
moment of
on the consuming of the everything the
lamb had no choice in it
whatsoever but you
see if I come to him and just just give
him my body I’m giving him less than $1
is worth of elements the body’s made up
with Poss mostly water but if you count
if you literally want to know the actual
value of this human being David
Wilkerson elements are worth less than a
dollar in fact they said I think 93
cents
now so I’m going to give him 93 cents
worth of value no that’s not way the
value is because see in this body
there’s a
computer it’s right up here it’s a
little mass of
Flesh into this little mass of flesh is
where the will is and we put into that
little computer our calculations we
calculate
uh the risk when we make a decision we
the consequences our desires what how it
affect us how affect other people we put
all of these things all the decisions
that are in our life we put them in this
computer and
we out of that computer out of that mind
this Priceless mind this is the only
thing of value this is where the heart
is where the will
is and what we do when we come to the
Lord we come to
him you you see this little computer of
mine doesn’t want to give up
control that’s the flesh that’s where
the will is
self-will and it’s so used to making
every
decision Consulting
nobody doing every man doing what is
best for
himself this little computer is
controlled by the
flesh by the carnal mind where the
conscience is and it it it is often shut
off by this little
computer we want to go to the Lord and
say Lord I entrust my future to you
Eternal salvation I trust forgiveness of
my sins I trust you to bring me to
paradise and live eternally with you I
trust all my eternal future in your
hands but as far as giving you my
computer I can’t do it
I I I I can’t give you full control of
my life and so we we we go through the
fleshly mo of saying I Surrender Lord I
yield my body unto you I give you
everything oh yes we give him our pledge
we give him our promises but we don’t
give him our
computer we don’t give him our mind we
don’t let the mind of Christ take over
we don’t let what Paul said Christ in me
living in me making my decisions
you know I for years I tried to figure
out what the Bible means if
you live in the spirit walk in the
spirit and I I I I looked at books
studied books what does it mean to walk
in the spirit if you live in the spirit
walk in the spirit folks it’s very very
simple the Holy Ghost lives you in you
obey him listen to
him let him direct you let him make the
decisions because he is the very Living
spirit of Christ in
you
Hallelujah I’m not talking
about asking the Holy Ghost what kind of
cereal you’re going to
eat and what dress you’re going to wear
today and
but even I I have to even back up
on that a bit
and I’ll tell you why because you know
about a year ago I was very very sick
with colitis and and I went to the Lord
and I said Lord I I can’t even pastor
this church if this goes on I am I am
literally being wiped out by this and
I’ve told you this that I went to the
Lord and He dealt with me about getting
rid of sugar and watching my diet and
things that I eat and got me on a holy
ghost started me on my own nutritional
program with barley greens and
everything else and and and and there
was healing and I I am stronger than it
ever been even when I was 30 years
old because I I turned it over to the
Holy Ghost I turned it over to the Lord
said this is your problem I’m going to
obey you and folks uh when it comes to
dress in the morning I I had a
preacher’s wife say here husband talk to
me we a eat she said Pastor Dave I every
time I get go to church I look in the
mirror and I say holy ghost is is are
you pleased am I bringing attention to
my flesh is this sensual or is this
Godly this the length of my dress or or
or am I showing off my body so that
someone would be tempted yes those
decisions have to go into the hands of
the Lord
too uhhuh some this morning
need some here this morning should have
prayed about it before you
came are you in
Malachi in Malachi God is looking down
from his height and he sees something in
the priest that angered him Israel’s
priests had defiled the altar of the
Lord by offering polluted
sacrifices Malachi
1:7 oh priest that despise my
name and ye say wherein have we despised
thy name you have offered fluted bread
upon my
altar verse 8 and if ye offer the blind
then for sacrifice is it not evil if you
offer the lame and sick is it not
evil now listen to me folks in Leviticus
the 21st chapter verse 68 and 12 don’t
turn there but the sacrificial lamb with
called the bread of God that was the
food of God folks we we become the bread
of God
we when we are absolute sacrifice now
folks I’m only talking to people this
morning that are not satisfied to live a
half-hearted life for Christ not
satisfied to live carnally for yourself
I’m talk for people who have an urgency
in their heart I want to give my life
compl completely to the Lord you see
we’ve made so few demands anymore we
have such a lazy uh Christianity Today
that Jesus said the way is narrow and
few that find it but we have a super
highway Christianity now we have widened
the streets and the borders and and
that’s what they call now the secer
friendly church we have a gospel of
accommodation to accommodate people and
we what they’re doing making a super
wide Highway to Heaven and it’s not
heading head toward Heaven the Bible
said wide is the road that’s headed for
Destruction and there are so few demands
made on us
now but there is a demand being made in
these last days I believe before Jesus
comes there’s going to have to be a
Christianity evolv in the True Church of
Jesus Christ
whereby the holy remnant
begins to cry out say I am not
satisfied with the life where I sit
around like a Couch’s potato watching
television I am not satisfied that my
family is spinning out into
disorder there got to be some reason
Lord I’m not satisfied to just go to
church and get a little
blessing there has to be something rise
up with the Holy Ghost said Lord I want
you to control my life evidently there’s
something missing in my consecration
there’s something missing in my Living
Sacrifice to
you now what was this polluted bread
that they were offering this
unacceptable
sacrifice because I wonder if some of us
here this morning believe that you’ve
made a Living Sacrifice to the Lord but
it has been a polluted sacrifice and
it’s not acceptable unto the Lord now
that’s strong language
but these are perilous times and I
believe Jesus is
coming now I I know that we lose a lot
of people in this church that come to
visit and they hear the message and it’s
too strong for them and they they they
go to something a little more
pable and I we probably have a list of
churches where we could
recommend and I’m not trying to be
factious but I’m telling you folks you
going to stand before the Judgment seat
of Jesus Christ one day
to me this is not a
job I’m not here making
money I’m here to tell you what the Holy
Ghost is saying about how we should live
in this last day I want you to listen to
what the Holy Spirit spoke in my
heart what is this polluted sacrifice
what first thing comes to mind well the
priest are living in sin and adultery
and fornication then they’re coming into
the house of God with dirty hands oh
folks it goes much further than that
it’s even more wicked that’s part of it
but it’s even more wicked than that in
the eyes of
God ye priests despise my
name now they didn’t understand that
when Malachi came and with this rebuke
from the Holy Ghost what do you mean we
despise his name because you see they
couldn’t understand because they were
going through the religious form they
were sacrificing they they were they
were lighting the the uh lanterns they
were going through the whole service of
the temple and here comes a prophet
saying nothing you do is acceptable God
doesn’t even look at it it’s all in vain
and they said what do you mean we’re
despising it we are making sacrifices
we’re worshipping the Lord now folks
this is very serious because there are
many many churches in the United St that
I believe God doesn’t even look at he
didn’t even visit
them I can show that to you if here in
just a
moment what the Lord is trying to say to
them and to us you refuse to submit to
the absolute authority of the
Lord you have never surrendered to his
total complete
lordship he said if I’m your father
where’s my honor if I’m your master your
lord where’s my fear
they had rejected absolute surrender to
the leading of almighty God whereby he
could have spoken by the prophets and by
his Spirit to what they were doing they
were going out and rather than getting a
perfect lamb the best of the flock they
were GL they were taking one with three
legs or diseased and ready to die and
throwing it on the altar halfhazard
they were not serious about the things
of
God when the Lord began to move with me
to prophesy to This Nation about what is
coming to
America I’ve been a year on my
face and I thought I was serious about
the things of God but the Lord named a
whole list of things that I had to
change in my life things that you might
laugh about that you may allow in your
life because we’re allowing so many
things now
you allow yourself do you and your
children to sit and watch some of these
new children’s uh uh
cartoons that nothing but murder and
ult I can’t even watch the TV news
now because if I sit and watch TV news
I’m going to be watching
Seinfield where there’s nothing but
laughter and mockery at moral
standards and I I and I’m going to to
get hooked again on these things so the
Lord the Lord makes it very very clear
that there are things that are changing
if you’re going to get serious about God
if you’re getting serious about God
answering your prayer and you want your
family Sav before Jesus comes there
going to be some changes made you’re
going to get serious about God you’re
going to get serious about walking with
the Lord
he
said a father is the one who is in
control if I you call me your father why
am I not in control of your life why are
you doing things your own way why are
you doing what a father is supposed to
do in your life if if I’m your lord
where’s my lordship why are you not
submitting to my
lordship now I’m instructed by the
Apostle Paul to go to the Altar and give
my body to the Lord as a sacrifice that
would be acceptable in his
eyes an acceptable sacrifice unto him
Paul said yield yourselves unto God as
those alive from the dead members as
instruments of righteousness to God and
the word yielding there means simply let
go let go let God have it let go of your
control every day in prayer
I bring this to the Lord this this is a
this is a strong argument I bring to the
Lord every day I pray every day this
morning every day this past week every
day this past month Lord Jesus you said
that you did nothing when you walked
this Earth without the father you said
nothing you did nothing but what you saw
and heard from your
father Lord I am a weak ignorant
man if Jesus the very Son of God could
do nothing without seeing and hearing
from his father Moment by moment how
dare I think I can so I say Lord I I
stand boldly before your throne saying
I’m going to take a step I’m going to go
as far as I can I don’t care how anybody
else lives I don’t care what anybody
else says you said if I acknowledge you
in all my ways you’ll direct my path
you willing to take that kind of Step if
it how far are you willing to go to
trust
God in Proverbs 15:22 we read in the
multitude of counselors purposes are
established in the multitude of
counselors your way or your purpose is
established now that sounds like what
what wait a minute Brother David I know
someone would think about that in many
Cel there’s wisdom you just meet you
have a committee Mee and do what the
committee says but I want to tell you
something folks if you read the rest of
the Bible that is a sin session unless
every man every counsel in that room has
been on their face before God fully
trusting the Lord that corporately they
get the mind of Christ and are doing
what he has directed let me explain that
to you in Acts the 13th chapter there
were many counselors many men of God
that met in Antioch planning the future
of the church they ministered to the
Lord they fasted and then the Holy Ghost
said they didn’t they didn’t
strategize they didn’t say well here’s
what I think here’s what I think they
all got on their knees they fasted they
prayed and suddenly God spoke to them
they got their dire in the upper room
they there are 120 counselors these are
godly people these are people who know
the word these are people that would
have good wisdom and when Judas is to be
replaced by another another disciple
Apostle this they didn’t they didn’t
vote the scripture makes it very very
clear they prayed and said oh Lord thou
knowest the hearts of all men you show
us who to
choose folks that’s the way this church
is
run it’s run through prayer and faith in
the Holy Ghost that he will speak to
us we we do have ministers meeting in
this church but it’s a prayer meeting
where we try to get the mind of God and
we pray separately and pray and pray
until we get the mind of Christ we get
the mind of God on our decisions
Hallelujah so far it’s been working
fairly well
God told the priest now listen closely
now God told the priest if you cannot
give me an acceptable offering shut it
all down I want you to see verse
10 who is there even among you that
would shut the doors for not neither do
you Kindle Fire on mine Altar for not I
have no pleasure in you sayth the Lord
of hosts neither will I accept an
offering at your hand now folks let me
tell you what the best original
rendition is in fact a number of the uh
Originals
manuscripts voice it this way listen
closely all that there were among you
that would shut the doors that you may
not Kindle a fire on my altar in
vain all that there was somebody that
would understand that God’s not going to
accept an offering that is polluted that
that is not a full surrendered he’s not
going to accept it he said if if you’re
going to be halfhazard if you’re not
going to give me everything if you if
you want to be a Living Sacrifice wholly
acceptable unto me then you’re going to
yield control of your body your mind
your spirit everything you’re going to
get you’re going to turn all your
decision making over to him you’re going
to go to him at all times folks it
doesn’t mean you have to to to to to
wait for an hour or two often you just
wherever you’re at Holy Spirit what is
your mind tell me Lord what is your will
I do that now God helping me in every
decision I make Lord what is your mind
but folks that’s backed up by having
time alone with Jesus in The Secret
closet where I’m saying Lord if if you
don’t give me that
direction I’m going to wait until I
receive it and just about I don’t care
if it’s a businessman he comes to me and
he wants a decision I tell I don’t care
if he’s Jewish I don’t care if he’s an
atheist I I’ll pray about it I have to
talk to God about
it
mhm and the Lord is
saying I I am not going to accept a
partial sacrifice a lame
diseased sacri I won’t take
it I I won’t have it he said it’s better
to shut it down did just shut it
down I don’t want anything on that altar
I would rather the door of the temple be
shut than for you to believe that I
would accept any offering from you that
was not wholehearted any offering from
you in which I was not where where you
gave up full control and your destiny
total Destiny was placed into my
hands now folks I I’ve told the Lord I
don’t want to put a burden on this
congregation or anyone who hears me that
is overburdened and not according to the
mind of Christ the mind of the Holy
Spirit I told you I’m talking for some
of you say you’re setting something now
Pastor David it’s
impossible
now I told you that I’m only speaking to
those this
morning who say Lord I want to go all
the way there is more I’m not satisfied
because I’m tell you what until you make
this Living Sacrifice you’ll never know
real peace you will never know
divine order in your home and your life
and your job you won’t know it it
doesn’t come any other way it does not
come any other way the favor of God
comes to only those who say
God I want to surrender everything I am
all I have I give it to you I want you
to Li to live in me and direct my
life see all all of this is for our our
our teaching for our
instruction it’s for us in the last days
he’s saying if you’re prepared to give
me full
control I’ll Lead You In all your ways
but if you’re not prepared to trust your
whole life your walk with me into my
care L you are prepared to allow me to
live in you and lead you I cannot accept
anything less than a full surrender of
your
will your will has to be given to me
completely
completely God said I have no pleasure
in you then he adds these words my name
shall be great among the Gentiles and
every place in every place incense shall
be offered unto my name this is verse 11
a pure offering for my name shall be
great among the Heathen sayith the Lord
of hosts and what he’s telling to
telling the people and all the priest he
said look you you think that uh there’ll
be nobody left if if if you’re not
accepted with your kind of offering but
the Lord says no I’ve got people all
over the world right two to the end time
that are going to give me a pure
offering a holy offering I’m going to
have a people and folks you’re going to
have it in New York he’s going to have
it I don’t care where you’re visiting
from God may put a fire in your soul
this morning he is going to have a
people that are living sacrifices and
testimony to the world that you can
live Christ
whereby he makes every decision in your
life every single decision
Hallelujah glory to God now God calls it
Rebellion when his children follow their
own counsel and make up their own
minds without consulting him woe to the
rebellious children this is Isaiah 30
verse2 woe to the rebellious children
sayith the Lord that take counsel but
not of me they go down to Egypt they’ve
not ask at my mouth they go down to
strengthen themselves in the strength of
pharaoh and to trust in the shadow of
Egypt listen All Through the Bible I
find that God is simply trying to get it
too plain and simple look don’t go to
people don’t there’s nothing wrong with
counseling but
folks there’s an amazing incredible
thing that’s happened in these last days
let me I can’t wait I’ve got to get into
it right now now in 1 Chronicles 10 we
read these fearful words so Saul died
for his transgression which he committed
against the Lord Saul died because of a
transgression now what was that
transgression that cost him his life now
folks this is strong stuff but I want
you to listen to it the
transgression this
is 1 Chronicles 10 chapter verse
13-14 the transgression was even against
the word of the Lord
which he kept not and also for taking
counsel of one that had a familiar
Spirit to inquire of it and inquired not
of the Lord therefore he slew him he
didn’t inquire of the Lord he didn’t
consult with the Lord didn’t say God
what did what would you have he said God
isn’t talking to me anymore but he would
not talking to God he was not Consulting
God at all for years he had forsaken the
Lord’s
counsel now folks that’s that’s That’s
Heavy that’s strong you see that’s not
New Testament all folks it
is case after case in the word of God
you find that the more people backslide
the further they get away from God the
less they want to go into his
presence I want to tell you something
anyone with hidden sin does not want to
pray they do I want to consult the Lord
and I’ll tell you why because they know
intuitively that their sin will not
stand in his holiness
cannot endure the glare of his utter
Holiness so they stay away from the
secret closet they don’t seek the Lord
they don’t counsel with him in fact
that’s why these
priests were now
into and know call practice now it’s
very very clear the scripture makes it
all clear all through you no longer
listen to the Lord my people as counsel
at their wooden idols and their divers
I’ll give them advice they’re divers now
if you study the time
frame Malachi speaking about the priest
and the Israelite at that time would
would go to these false prophets and
they would take two sticks and put them
lightly in the ground and they would
mutter incantations and the direct s
that they fell supposedly under demon
influence would give them the direction
either e east west north south and also
they they they would uh throw little
rods and sticks in different directions
and as they fail in fact the name for it
is called romeny romeny is the divining
through sticks and
rods and here are people that have had
the Oracles of God here are people
called by his name and now because they
are so far from God because sin is so
controlled their life they get no
Direction except from stupid silly
sticks now today we have what is called
bibliomancy this is taking scripture
verses as if they’re Magic by repeating
them bi man also includes the same kind
of offering to the
Lord here here’s a person who does not
pray who does not get direction from the
Lord because he’s not in touch with the
Lord he doesn’t consult with the Lord
there’s no time it’s time for everybody
consult with everybody get on the phone
call anybody call a pastor call a
counselor call somebody get
advice but because they have no
relationship with the lord they’re not
hearing his word Jesus said my sheep
know my voice they hear when I call
another voice they will not listen to
they will not e
it and because they have no inner voice
from the Holy Ghost because there no
direction in their life because they’re
not
praying they fall fall into this
occultic charismatic practice and it’s
occultic
folks and it’s ultic because it it is
offering to the Lord a sacrifice that is
polluted it’s a disease
sacrifice it is trusting in the flesh of
man there’s some advances there’s some
Prophet somewhere that’s got a word for
me someone handed me a tape this past
week
a major Crusade a big evangelist and and
prophet socalled and he was giving
words and the words were something like
this you’re going to be given a Ministry
of compassion and God’s going to send
you to turn and work with
children now if God hadn’t said that to
that man why in the world would he
listen to somebody
else especially if he’s got a wife and
two kids
and another says within 2 or 3 months
you’re going to get named large sum of
money and some of the other
words where I I sat there in cringe I
said Lord those those dear people that
are sitting there don’t they know you
don’t they hear anything from
you folks I want to show you the danger
of running to somebody and and have them
lay hands on you or give you a word when
you do not pray and I want to tell you
something I know that many people are
running around the world all over the
world trying to get a word trying to get
a touch involved in this ultic practice
listen to me no I’m not wiping the brush
with every no there are many sincere
godly people who who take a friend or
something and and they love the Lord and
they’re just saying there may be more
for me I’m not wiping everybody with
this brush but all folks listen to me
people who pray people who get their
word from God they are being satisfied
in the secret closet they are hearing
their word directly from the throne room
of
God they don’t have to go
anywhere they don’t have to have anyone
touch
them I believe in healing I believe in
the laying on of
hands but listen to me folks the prophet
of prophet Malachi is speaking against
this and in fact he warns against
placing yourself under the
influence of
ministers whose own sacrifice before the
Lord is totally
unacceptable how do you know that the
man has an acceptable sacrifice or how
do you know whether or not God has shut
it off and said that’s enough I don’t
want anything to do with this
ministry it’s all written right
here let me read it to you
here we’ll find it here in just a
moment verse
n and now I pray you beseech God that he
will be gracious unto us that he may be
that this ha been by your means will he
regard your person sayth the Lord of
host now folks look at me and listen
closely please I’ve got to get this
through to you the original in its
fullest meaning reads this
way come ask God’s favor with your
polluted sacrifices make intercession
for the people but will he accept you
would he bless or accept anyone because
of you you know what he’s
saying go ahead and intercede for the
people go ahead and lay hands on people
we pray for people but it’s in vain
because sir people
your sacrifice has not been
accepted it’s all there folks it’s right
there go ahead
intercede oh folks i’ I’ve
known got a
letter of
a pastor’s wife he just left her and
he’s the associate of an evangelist
who’s had 11 illegitimate
children he’s on his third
wife I have his tapes he’s preaching the
crowds
today and she said Pastor Dave I don’t
understand lays hands on people the
supposed Miracles
and she said this this man
told my
husband doesn’t matter how many wives
you have at one time how many women you
have and my husband bought it and he’s
being laying with at least three women
himself and hundreds and hundreds of
people are coming having hands laid on
them being prophesied
over
folks judgment is at the door
it’s a dangerous thing not to be shut in
with God it’s a dangerous thing not to
have discernment in this day it’s a
dangerous thing to to to be tossed by
every wind and wave of Doctrine the
sweep and folks those winds and waves
are going to get stronger they’re coming
from the left and the right the North
and the South and the only thing that’s
going to stand in these last days of
those people shut in with God hearing
his voice knowing his voice intimate
with with
him
finally you have said behold what a
weariness it is and you’ve snuffed at it
the word weariness there is trouble and
snuff
means who needs it in in Modern English
I mean who needs it and and you know
what he’s saying
You’ said it’s too much trouble who
needs
it it’s too much trouble to pray every
day it’s too much trouble how can
anybody folks listen to me there’s a
discipline involved in seeking
God we’ve been spoonfed we we we want
everything in five minutes even even our
news we want news bits
folks I’m going to tell you as a pastor
you will not make it in these last days
until you come into this discipline I I
seek the face of God that it’s a
discipline when I went to prayer in my
room and shut the door yesterday I
didn’t feel like
praying I didn’t feel like it at all but
I I knelt there and I walked around and
said Lord I don’t feel it but I know I
want to be in your presence I know I
love you I’m just going to say
hallelujah I love you till you come into
this room and touch me and folks you
stay in his presence and you’ll strike
fire you stay in his presence and you
draw nigh to me I’ll draw nigh to you I
promise you he’ll meet you but there is
a discipline you shut everything away
you stop it folks you’ve got time for
everybody and everything else you’ve got
time for Jesus and if you don’t you will
not make it in these last
days you’re going to fall into unbelief
and despair and you will be one of those
who say ah too much trouble who needs it
oh my people what have I done to you
what way have I wearied Thee testify
against me he said come on tell me how
in the
world all I all I have done is told you

over to me I’ll take your burden if you
cast all your care on me I’ll take
it you don’t have to live confused

fear or without
bondage and it’s so simple he’s made it
so simple he said I’ve been involved you
from the very beginning even when you
were a baby a child I’ve been involved I

heart and a wounded spirit it’s why you
came down for prayer I’m going to ask
you to turn that over to him right
now and listen to me please I want you
all next week to spend no less no less
than a half hour you should be giving
him at least an hour of prayer a day but
no less than a half hour will you just
go in his presence and worship
Him lay everything in your heart before
him be honest just speak your heart and
your mind to him but do it in
faith and then just sit in a
chair and say now Lord speak to me I
want to tell you something you say well
how am I going to know God’s voice from
the devil’s voice listen it’s very
simple the devil will speak to you and
if you love Jesus there there’ll just be
something there’ll be something to Rise
Up Wait A
Minute say I Lord I don’t I’m not sure
of this voice because the devil doesn’t
want to be
questioned and if you just wait don’t
accept the voice right away just wait
the enemy will expose
himself I was praying yesterday about
something and I was sitting waiting
and the first I said Lord I’m here to
wait on you and all of a sudden I heard
a direction that didn’t sound right it
sounded too much like I wanted something
I
wanted if it’s something like you want
be very
careful and I said I I just can’t accept
this said Lord just wait and then came
you stupid
dumb creature in my voice the devil
exposed himself
because the Lord never call me dumb
stupid he will always expose himself if
you wait he will expose himself God is
that faithful the Holy Ghost is that
faithful because if you wait on him he’s
not going to write this in his book for
every generation of all time and let you
be deceived if you are willing to do
what he tells you and letay your desires
and your will down say your will be done
Lord I’ll do everything you tell me God
will give you
Direction always the the devil will come
and try to put the you just wait even if
you wait two or three days
until the Holy Spirit comes that’s still
Small
Voice he will never tell you anything
that’s contrary to this
book sometimes what he tells you is
going to be painful first thing he going
to tell you he said I’m not going to
talk to you about that yet that thing
you’re asking me I’m not going to talk
to about till I talked about that
besetting sin that’s in your heart let’s
talk about that then you will tell you
how much he loves you and how much he
going to stand with you and how much
he’ll work with you when you are willing
to lay it at his
feet you see even victory over sin is a
matter of Faith trusting in his power
greater is he in us than he that’s in
the world you trust him of that it’s a
matter of saying oh lord I can’t fight
it I can’t do it I can’t run my life
anymore I’m tired of it I give it to you
Lord Jesus
but you see that has to be backed up
there has to be backed
up with a special time every day quality
time where you go to Jesus say Lord I’m
in no hurry I’m in no hurry I’m here and
and folks don’t get all wound up and
scream at God and try to make something
happen just sit quietly and love him and
let him love you tell him how much you
love him and worship him and I’ll tell
you it’s amazing how if you just say
Hallelujah Jesus just keep saying
hallelujah till it comes from the gut
from the innermost and suddenly it’s
like a
fountain little bit of water and then
suddenly it’s just flowing out then you
start you’ll start singing love songs to
Jesus and you you you’ll just have a
wonderful time in his
presence but he wants to heal your heart
right
now there’s no use my praying for you
right now until you have made a
commitment Lord I want to give all that
I am and all that I have to you if
that’s your desire raise your hand High
please raise your hand and leave it
right there moment while I pray first I
want you to pray with me and then I’m
going to pray for you pray this with me

morning of everybody that’s

control just give up control of Our
Lives into your hands that very moment
