What kind of hearer are you? Join Jesse Duplantis at the 2018 Southwest Believers’ Convention as he teaches the difference between listening and hearing. To become a faith giant, you have to focus on the responsibility of hearing God with your heart. Faith comes by hearing, not having heard!
hallelujah Lord
such a blessing aren’t you glad is
raining in Texas that is hot what I got
but a blessing of the Lord
it’s always an honor and a pleasure to
be these great believers conventions you
people that come out on the first day to
y’all the best go hungry
y’all hungry like to say praise the Lord
God is so good and gracious my wife
Cathy’s here well you gotta stand up
give Cathy a hand clap what a blessing
we’ve had people say what you’ve been
doing but just a prisoner I prayed this
one told the Lord if you don’t come in
my lifetime you will miss a good
opportunity to hear how many I want
Jesus to come if he came right now I’d
do this message in heaven what a
blessing of the Lord I tell you God is
so good and gracious and I know brother
Koch may be in his room I want to thank
you for allowing me once again I’ve been
here almost 30 years I think doing these
things and God has been so good and uh I
got there looking back I said my god man
I I had a little brown hair when I
started but I sure have enjoyed every
one of them how many people brought your
Bibles let me see that’s your hand let
me see you let me see your Bible good
good I want to go to my I probably call
it my most enjoyable chapter in the
Bible mark chapter 4 let’s go to it
hello mark for Alleluia mark chapter 4 I
like to read out of the old King James
Version because it’s so poetical and if
you haven’t noticed when people quote
scripture most unquoted out of the other
old King James because it’s very hard to
quote the amplified
it took a while a quote to amplify dance
of words in the Opera but you ought to
get it because it’s a great translation
it’s just such a blessing of the Lord
mark chapter 4 got me a new Bible
somebody sent me so I wanted to use it
I love parables because of the parabolic
method of how Jesus would talk to people
you got to remember everyone Jesus
talked to was not saved they’re not born
again as we are as well as well how we
know that and understand that so he and
people settle me why don’t you tell a
lot of stories I said I’ll follow Jesus
is teaching he’d say something they’d go
what then he said well there was a rich
man ah a story but he’d put the point
into it I want to talk about something
you know and I want to tell us all the
speakers we never tell each other what
we preach it we never call each other
say okay what you gonna do and never in
all my years I’ve been not in one time
ever so I was in the back there miking
up and everything and and I said well I
didn’t get here – just now just moan
about an hour maybe hour and I don’t I
will go something I get and the make –
no I said would keep reaching and and I
was I said I’m sure when I preach he
said my god that’s almost the same thing
well the prophets of Bethel and the
prophets of Jericho saying the same
thing I like that you know we should be
all saying the same thing so if you got
your Bibles mark chapter 4 I want to
start reading with verse 221 title of
this message I’m appreciating I may
finish it tomorrow make all the way
through it or I may just do a different
one in my day sessions and I don’t know
I’m just go as the Holy Ghost leads me
on the sea on the responsibilities of
hearing the responsibility of hearing
because see that’s how you get saved
people always talk about the
responsibility of preaching and that is
that is definitely a fact
but the responsibility of hearing is the
most important part of it because if you
don’t hear some people heard but never
hear and it’s amazing to me and I don’t
know if y’all notice uh y’all might have
seen did y’all see the media eating my
lunch
do you know I was the biggest story in
the world we’ve got 10 million hits and
one day Catholic was that the day or
hour whatever all I said was believe
they said this man has four Jets I want
to make an announcement if I have Ford
planes I need make I need to make a
theft report because three of them are
missing I just like to know where they
are so I can go pick them up praise God
and he built his house with donated
funds well how come it came out of my
account craziness and things of that
nature but I want to make this
announcement well you know I it’s we’re
celebrating 40 years of full-time
ministry so people want to know what we
started out so I said we’ll check this
stuff from aviation and that different
thing we’re going all over with
different things from the very beginning
and they just misinterpreted what we
said but now they were attracting all
the statements I got three lawyers
saying you got 100 million dollar
defamation the character suit if you let
us handle this
they’re bad again I mean you keep that
ball in you know but I will tell you
this Falcon the people that makes the
planes that we’re believing for flew me
for free they can’t pick me up in who
often said thank you for the publicity I
mean on their finest plane it was just
such a blessing of the Lord and hey you
know what this is the only plane that we
believe before that God said you won’t
raise no money for that right you know I
raised money for TV and they stopped
them done many times that’s not that I
don’t have problem with that but the
Lord said this one would just come now I
know why
and the Lord said he told me he said you
want to come up where I’m at Jesse I
said yeah but I didn’t know it was gonna
be the top of the cross but it’s amazing
how many Christian people will criticize
a dream but then I realized that they
never they’re not hearing they just
heard so Mark chapter 4 verse 21 Jesus
is talking here this is the parable of
the lamp he says he said unto them is it
candle brought to be put under a bushel
or under a bed and not to be set on a
candlestick but there’s nothing here and
I’m gonna stop right there for there’s
nothing here
I don’t think twice to give God glory
for healing
I don’t think twice to give God glory
for salvation and I don’t think twice to
give God glory for blessing I make no
excuses for the blessing of God in my
life
because it’s the same God that heals
that say that blesses and people say you
doing very well when it ain’t my fault
it’s he that gave me power Bobby said
thou shalt remember the LORD thy God I
remember him every second every day
every hour because of what he’s done so
much for me especially in my conversion
of salvation when he saved me that’s
what he’s talking here everything should
not be prepared and a lot of people that
hide things and me I’m very I’m an open
book and why because Jesus is an open
book be there for imitators of God as
dear children so this is what he’s
saying here he says in verse 22 for you
there’s nothing hid which shall not be
manifest that neither was anything kept
secret but that it should come abroad
and he said if any man have ears to hear
let him hear
and then he said this take heed verse 24
swear I want to get to take heed what
you’re here with what you measure with
what measure ye mete it shall be
measured to you and unto you that here
of faith shall more be given how many
people want more
that’s not greed that’s Bible
um people say you living lavishly no I’m
not I’m living biblically but I’m not
waiting to get to heaven to live like
I’m supposed to be in that Jesus a this
will be done where where where as it is
where so I’m not gonna be shocked when I
get to my house in heaven I’m not gonna
be shocked at the wonderfulness of what
heaven is because I’m living heaven on
earth spiritually physically and
financially that’s not bragging that’s
just doing what Jesus said now though
she said take heed what you hear I want
to talk about the responsibilities of
hearing right there’s not if you take
your notes if the divine voice is silent
it’s because there is no obedient ears
to receive it if the divine voice is
silent you know you ain’t hearing God
you don’t have an obedient ear to hear
it and he will not waste the wonderful
things that he’s given us i’ma say it
again if the divine voice is silent it’s
because there is no obedient ears to
receive it in other words receive it not
just heard it but hear it and I want to
deal with that today and I believe
you’re gonna be blessed by that that
mark for take heed what you hear the
responsibilities of hearing so write
this down here I get these notes here
fix it here hearing is an urgent
business
beware of not being a good listener I’ve
made up my mind that I would become a
good listener because faith cometh
notice he don’t stack up I wish to God
it did just because you say it 50 years
you have to take 50 years of faith
because faith cometh he come by here
don’t come by hurt that’s why sometimes
you get healed sometimes you don’t you
think God didn’t you know you huge your
one time didn’t want to hear the second
time well how can that happen you can
get here one time and I get here the
next time very simple it’s very simple
just right you didn’t get here use all
your faith for that last sickness and
you didn’t replenish yourself because
the Bible said be fruitful always
producing multiply always increasing
replenish and I was using I mean use it
up then refill it then he said subdued
if anything gets out of line just put it
down so that’s why sometimes people
receive some things and sometimes they
don’t because they use all the faith
they had for that last thing and they
didn’t refinish himself I promise you
ladies and gentlemen at I’m brother Koch
the friends preaching tonight I will use
every ounce of faith I got I won’t have
a lick of faith at all when I put my
head on that bed tonight but I promise
you before I hit this convention
tomorrow morning I’m gonna replenish I’m
gonna fill myself up I preacher of
Bibles to myself I give offerings to
myself you think I’m kidding you I’ll
stand before a mere spit flying just
preach to myself give an offering and
receive it you can say what you want
call it dumb stupid it sure helps me up
why because I’m responsible with what I
hear so hearing is an urgent business
see it’s very urgent
and beware I’m not being a good listener
so I decide to listen to what the Lord
said see that’s what the world needs to
understand this listen when you listen
you learn things instead of memorized
things you see a lot of people memorize
they remember we used to memorize you
crammed so you could pass that test
after you passed that test they asked
you to be saying questions to our ladies
remember nothing because you didn’t
learn it yet jesus said learn of me he
didn’t say memorize me learn of me I’m
not that interested much in quoting I’ll
get mad when I say this I’m not that
interested much in Christianity that’s
the religion of man I’m interested in
Christ the hope of glory I want more
than a relationship I want a fellowship
you see I need conversation I like
conversation with God most people just
have prayer again I pray you don’t
misunderstand me but I have more
conversation with God than I do praying
with God because when you pray with God
usually asking for stuff like Jesus well
I love help me Jesus he said I’m here
but what I like is this hello Jesus hi
Jesse
what we’ll do today what about this and
what about that reveal or something here
or sometimes he says let’s just talk
you’ve heard me say this not too long
ago the Lord I mean I just woke up and
people don’t believe there but they’re
making a difference no truth in
he the Lord was was in my bedroom and I
went what he said I was watching you
sleep
I said you were what he said I was
watching you sleep I said what do you
mean you’re watching me sleep he said I
was watching you sleep he said you know
where I learned it from I said no he
said you I said me he said remember when
Jodi was little you’d go and roam to
watch her sleep and listen to her
breathe when she was a baby because I
never thought she ate enough she would
chew and teach she passed out sleeping
on three ounces of fluid you know what
they call that stuff Enfamil whatever
y’all know and I said that ain’t enough
to sustain that kid so I put my ear
right by her by her mouth and listen to
breathe now
so when I said fall and that way and
then me and the Lord both looked at cafe
and we listened to her breathe
that’s true you know you think I’m gods
got a great sense of humor I said you
know Lord the older you get you make
funny noises the older you get just
listen to her breathe
watching her sleep yeah yeah yeah you
see that’s what I mean that’s called
fellowship I saying God I can’t live
without you
I gotta have you every second of my life
and if you around God you’re gonna learn
a lot of things so you need to be a good
listener why write this down to here is
a duty we must see beyond the outward
word so we can understand the inward
meeting a lot of people see the outward
word but they never understand the N
word meaning what does that mean to you
to here is a duty he said take heed what
you hear so I don’t listen to a lot of
general when I go to doctors I don’t do
most of what they say I’m not kidding
you cuz they’ll fill you up with the
sickness of your family now I believe I
understand DNA and I understand all that
kind of stuff and they’ll ask you
questions if you got cancer in your
family you know you got diabetes and
high blood pressure
yeah it’s all kind of stupid stuff and I
just look at him I just smile they ask
personal questions and I tell them the
truth cuz you know you go to a doctor
you get I got a sore throat
take your pants off no
am i telling the truth they are strip
you down they’ll strip you down am I
telling the truth you they don’t strip
you down
last year I went do a PSA test you know
what that is that’s a blood test Cathy
is always trying to get me to do all
this healthy stuff
Jesus driving me nuts she said when’s
the last time you had that prostate
check I said what is that she told me
where it was I said if I ain’t seen it I
don’t want nobody else to see it either
are you doing that she said you’ve got
to do that and I won’t tell you sometime
when they finish your sing Moon River
I gotta get y’all laughing a little bit
to start this thing they’re not crazy
nice coming out and looked at me and I
said this are you sexually active
I said you gotta ask my wife she said
what I said she said I am I am if she
says I’m not me it’s over Jackie there
ain’t any way cuz it’s what the woman
said are you sexual act I said knob
she said what I said knob put it on ano
be none of your business ain’t none of
your bid she wasn’t listening she wasn’t
hearing she heard when I said knob but
she wouldn’t hear he kept pushed I said
I’m gonna tell you that that’s none of
your business
she said well we need to know a lot
about you I said that’s all you get mama
that’s the end of that any other
questions so several things she asked me
knob knob no she asked the last question
she said I guess I ought to just put a
knob I said you got it I’m serious about
that why I don’t want to hear that I’m
not living in denial I don’t want you to
misunderstand that I’m not living in
denial I understand genetic disorders I
understand all that but I’m not living
in denial but I will not speak what they
say I should speak because they won’t
believe just because there was heart
trouble in my family I’m just gonna get
it too and it was cancer my family or
there was diabetes or high blood
pressure well I’m not genetically linked
up with my family I’m genetically linked
up with the Lord Jesus Christ so it’s my
duty to hear it is a duty to hear we
must see beyond their outward word so we
can understand the end with meaning you
see now when I understand something not
when I begin to speak and a lot of
people don’t like prosperity the ones
that hate prosperity receive offerings
like that make no sense the people that
take vials of poverty take donations
which is an oxymoron if you believe it
in poverty what are you taking a
donation for well you can’t get nothing
done right see nothing’s done without
prosperity
don’t shout me down when I’m preaching
it listen to me you couldn’t get here
less you drove here ain’t nobody got
beaned in here by Scotty right you had
to spend some money to get here right
you live in an economic world but I just
made people oh I don’t see why you gotta
have that plan I said let me help y’all
now I’m in Dallas Fort Worth I’ll just
tell you there’s a church in Dallas
forth work very big sure that just paid
off 50 million dollars worth of debt let
me spend over 50 million but they paid
off 50 million dollars worth of debt
that’s okay with me and people don’t
think twice about spending 50 million 60
million whatever when I’m making a
church have you got a church to twenty
five thirty forty thousand people you
know and I asked you know why I didn’t
bother me because that’s what that
pastor needs to preach to his
congregation right well I don’t need
that my congregation is the world I need
to play
I’m going all the time wait he don’t
need that I was in two countries in five
states in four days Delta can’t do that
America wish the god they could they
can’t do you understand what I’m saying
but I keep setting but they don’t hear
it keep their heard they see they don’t
understand the N word meaning and that’s
amazing to me and I’m not talking about
the center I ain’t got no problem
selling us they like me is them
Christians why did I get quiet and I was
being attacked I raised millions of
dollars for you you don’t want to go you
got a plane don’t shout me down with a
pretty good I’m gonna tell him why are
you embarrassed of the blessing of God
it’s just a tool it’s a tool when I was
flying and Falcon was one day had a
flight attendant on his beautiful jet
and a Salesman across the Palace and
stuff and I’m sitting there and he said
sir can I say something
he said you or you know even you’re not
even looking at all this elegance I said
no I ain’t worried about what so I said
I don’t care there’s only one chair in
this plane with no panel in it I want to
know what can’t get do you see what I’m
saying
I won’t know what can you do how far can
it go how fast gonna get there how fast
can I get back because I got something
else as soon as I get back I gotta go do
something else
yes it’s nice I guess you could call it
luck jurors whatever I don’t even think
about that kind of stuff Kathy said
Jessica live in the treehouse I could
care less about I’m not here to prove to
nobody nothing
I just want my destiny and my
destination to become complete why
because when God spoke that I didn’t
hurt it I hear it because it’s my duty
see so I refuse to disregard truth write
this down disregarding truth becomes
disliked truth see when you disregard
truth you begin to dislike it see well
Jesus didn’t have no money not you not
you agree you’re not dumb you just
I mean who needs a boat when you can
walk on the water
they get mad at you walk on the water
you know if you started walking on water
you know what they say look at it you
know why you walking on the water cuz he
can’t swim
cuz he says can’t swim
ok who needs them you can walk the water
so disregarded truth becomes disliked
truth now there’s some there’s some
truth in here in this Bible I don’t
particularly care to read sometimes
bless those that persecute you know love
your enemies
you a must never have had an enemy if
you’re gonna love me no vengeance is
mine no let it be mine you take too long
I never thought of Avengers I was
thought of as justice you do what you
got to do the boy a lot of stuff you can
get into that interpretation you can
wind up killing somebody said well you
know he deserved to die
no he didn’t deserve to die you called
the justice when it was vengeance get
home send some but God God’s words real
see so dislike disregarding truth
becomes dislike truth you know the
reason why some people don’t get healed
a lot of time other than there they used
all their faith it’s because they don’t
believe in healing ladies generally one
body made up of many members you
understand they’ve got people that love
the Lord with all their heart that don’t
believe in healing so like it’s this
hands hurting and this hands doing this
where one body made up of many members I
never forget years ago when I years but
maybe three years ago I was on TBN me
and Andrew Wommack
and Matt Crouch was talking he was
interviewing us and he said he looked at
me and he said Jessie what camp are you
in you know Andrew you know andrew
really gets excited like yes yeah just a
what camp are you
I love Andrew Andrew the blood he’s
excited I’m he screaming right there
hello you gotta know Angela saying you
gotta know Andrew you don’t he’s very
excited you got to hear it
and I looked at Matt Krause I’ll never
forget me it was a wonderful question
I said Matt I need to rephrase your
question I said there’s only one camp of
God but there’s many different colored
tents
well one camp of God with the camp of
the Lord but we got different tents see
different and he said come together in
the unity of the faith and what
Christianity tried to do is to get
everybody to come together the unity of
doctrine that’s not gonna happen I don’t
care who you are
then baptism gonna believe one save
always say whether you Pentecostal like
it or not that’s called eternal security
you’re gonna believe in speaking in
tongues whether they like it or not well
I’m gonna believe in prosperity whether
you like it or not I don’t mean that to
be rude or arrogant and I’m gonna
believe in faith whether you like it or
not I’m not moved by what I see I don’t
deny what I see I deny its right watch
this to get into my ears it’s my duty
that watch these ears see the truth
grows to perfection
when it’s held fast and it’s heard if
you want truth to grow to perfection it
has to be held fast be immobile stead
for abounding in the work of the Lord
for you know your labor is not in vain
in God and sometimes you look like your
Labor’s in vain
and who don’t want something yesterday
we’re Americans
we’d like fast food we gain weight fast
we lose weight slow
if you could get who’s weight as fast as
you get you shop and I don’t know why
everybody worries about all that to
start with how good you want to look
when you did that just drives me nuts
boy he look good you know he did
cuz you gonna lose all weight you’re
gonna lose in your life when you did you
can get back into your 29 inch waist
pants but I mean you do what you want to
do it’s your bidness you see I realize
the truth grows to perfection
I want the Word of God to be perfected
in my life how do I do that by holding
it fast how do I hold it fast by hearing
it and hearing it and hear you sometimes
I think I got so many people living in
my house and they just being Catholic
Keith Moore wakes me up in the morning
well blessed God Cathy got him on in the
bathroom she got she’s got speakers bose
speakers I mean sometimes I thought
keith was God the other day hello I said
and Cathy had that thing on she’s just a
pump it and then there this she had TD
jakes in their heart our Lord I got
hallelujah man I start sweating in the
bed but TV sweat he don’t perspire he
swept
[Applause]
I’ve had George and Terri Pearson I
thought did they come in last night that
man in the house I mean she’s got it on
constantly
is it happening all the time why Jiri
the responsibilities of it hearing and
hearing and some time I don’t like to go
in the belt I said your thought on the
bow let me go to the bedroom and I go so
it’s it echoes more and then I get
double it Jesus says look I’ve heard you
say bleep me by the time I got there
that lasts believe I’m standing up but
yeah I’ll believe it when I drop you see
and it may sound funny but what’s
happening is faith is growing it’s the
responsibility of it see hearing is
utilized for the advantage of others
spiritual knowledge must never be at a
standstill let me say this again hearing
is utilized for the advantage of others
spiritual knowledge must never be at a
standstill you should never stop growing
never stop faithing see when a baby
stops growing something wrong you take
that baby to the doctor something’s not
right
right my baby is not eating my baby that
girl what’s wrong with this it should
that baby shouldn’t be under stand still
why it has a responsibility to become an
adult
you see what I’m saying let me say it
again
hearing is utilized for the advantage of
others that’s what it’s for the
advantage of us the reason why we’re
preaching this at this convention is so
you can be growing in the fullness and
the perfection of God’s Word and if not
that we smarter than you are do it it’s
just that we just happen to be behind
this Pope but that’s the Lord use it and
if you’ll listen to us and don’t
critique us and don’t criticize us just
listen to what we say it and if you want
the litmus test of a doctrine if you
want to know if something is true if you
want to understand about the grace
message you understand about the faith
myth you understand all the docs and
homiletic or hermeneutical philosophical
feel like if you really want to know
that this is the litmus test if any
doctrine makes a provision for the flesh
it’s not of God
because the Bible said there’s no good
thing in the flesh don’t tell me you
lift my god by grace I’m saying it in a
minute what I do your mama you are
covering your sin with a wonderful
doctrine called grace but it don’t cover
it and I believe in grace do we say it
by Greg my god I love it it’s not the
issue but I don’t have grace rocking sin
better if I have bracelet she said less
and less than that
till I forget how and the way to do that
is by hearing hearing you are so
powerful you’ve made in the Express
imagery you shut the devil down when you
was a sinner so if you can shut him down
as a center how come you can shut him
down as a Christian how many times when
you was a sinner the devil wants to go
out and get drunk go chase some woman
chase some man do something again but
you was tired you went no I do and then
I’m going home go to bed you just told
the devil go and in a sinful state if
you can tell him no in a sinful State
think you ought to tell him no in a
Christian state that’s why you way more
powerful than him you were not made in
his class you were not made in the
angelic class you were more will get
some bad publicity you were made in the
god class that’s how you were made
that’s why Satan hate you every time you
look at you he thinks God
you made in His image and in his
likeness you his boss but the problem
with the church world they like the
first out of more than the second atom
you better get to know that second atom
let me say it again
shearing is utilized for the advantage
of others spiritual knowledge must never
be at a standstill my god you know when
me and Jerry and brother köppen get
together we just came back from
Guadalcanal the Solomon Islands ah did
we have us a meeting anybody saw that
thing I mean it was hot buddy when I say
hi even the bugs was Fanning themselves
but thousands of people getting born
again and I think we get together what
you you think we would rest and not talk
about the gospel
you don’t lost your ever-loving mind we
sit on that plane we talk for 16 hours
about the gospel we go on vacation and
talk about the gospel they say y’all
should be relaxing we are we preached
each other it’s amazing why cuz it’s so
it’s so big that a believers convention
cannot cover it all it’s so huge because
you’re hearing and it’s developing and
perfecting I like what a brother Keith
Morris wife said she says I get more
light on it I like that word light then
you got more light see you see these
this is just reading glasses they cost
about 10 bucks see but if there’s a lot
of light like yes I don’t need this you
said I’m saying and now some people get
mad about that what he was a faith
manger and have this well you got the
faith lay your hands on the food I’ll
shut up nah I don’t mean to be rude but
come on
I got 20/20 vision like this but when I
say why do you have two these because I
had to sign in big checks cash so I said
I want to make sure I see how much
money’s in splendidly anybody’s baby
their hearing is utilized for the
advantage of others spiritual knowledge
must never be at a standstill
why write this down be careful in losing
the word before faith can make it
fruitful be careful in losing the word
before your faith can make it fruitful
your faith is one what produce the
manifestation you know let me say
something bout faith we love the
manifestation God loves the chase God
loves the journey
look at my boy look at my girl we saved
Jesus
we love the man first ever get all
excited about he gets excited about when
we walk by faith and not by sight that’s
such a blessing so be careful in losing
the word before faith can make it
fruitful see that’s why I don’t worry
about time time means nothing to me I’m
an eternal being I don’t deal what time
don’t want it yesterday it’s not this
year and it doesn’t make anything it
takes all I know that God’s say
something Kathy asked me today she
wanted to do something that’s it at the
church my wife is now the pastor of that
church so you know she said she’s the
pastor Keith you know she told me she
suggesting you need any counseling I
said no I don’t need no counselor you
need any messages on submission
I said I guess I do preach to me mama I
said you want more money in that bank
account she said okay forget what I just
said no no I give her a hard time
no when you understand what I’m saying
here and I just forgot what I was saying
because she was looking at me here no I
know exactly be careful
that’s what she’s saying be careful boy
and losing the word before your faith
can make it fruitful when you’re gonna
get that jet already have it because
when I pray believe them you see well
what happens when you get it but that’s
physical manifestation you ask me about
my faith you see it took my faith to
produce a physical manifestation but I
will tell you this much we’re close now
you know I could have had it for years
ago if I go to the bank ain’t nothing
wrong going to the bank but I read a
scripture and I didn’t hurt it I heared
it
oh no man anything but they love you did
you really mean what you said the easier
you know what I meant I see yeah I’ve
just thought maybe you might change your
mind on that one you know no I didn’t
hurt it I hit it you see what I’m saying
so my faith is producing and increasing
every day so that’s why I don’t get
excited too much when manifestation it’s
that’s some of my staff I said my gosh
you’re not excited about that no because
I had it when I prayed not trying to
show off I’m just saying I had it when I
prayed and consequently I believed it
see it is possible that all are
listening but all are not hearing let me
say it again it is possible that all the
listening but all are not hearing I
don’t explain this and I want you
there’s all kinds of Harris let me say
it again it is possible that all are
listening but all I’m not hearing you
had that I don’t care here that’s in
your church or in the world they listen
to only about obligation you know I got
to get there and they quickly forget
because they have no interest that was
me Kathy said would you please come to
church before I say coming he can’t come
soon so I’d go to church just a my
obligation her and before I even got to
the car outside the church I forgot
everything that man or that woman said
why that’s all I don’t care here they
have a lot of those a lot of religious
people I don’t care hear us I know he
said that but God didn’t tell you the
crib to critique your pastor you know
just make this announcement God don’t
care if you don’t like your pastor he
don’t care if you hate him then ain’t
got nothing to do what you’re learning
how many time your kids have come home
so I don’t like my teacher and what’d
you say shut up boy you get in a class
and you listen well your pastor those
are in rule over you or your teachers
what about the apostle can’t be an
apostle as you’ve been a disciple
got to be a disciple first where you
ever get to be an apostle you got to be
a disciple of the Lord before you
understand the fire fool
the executive branch of God’s government
the apostle prophet evangelist pastor
teacher that’s the executive branch of
God’s coming but you’re not gonna get
any of that unless you a disciple of
Christ first there’s a disciple of
Christ that’s a foul worker some people
follow Christ and people are discipled
in Christ and then people are move are
perfected into gifts that God places
upon them the apostle the prophet the
event is the past of the teacher and
actually the higher you get the lower
you become why because you serve it to
all you wash their feet you see now I
don’t want to hear that see they’d
rather it’s just there but the top but
to get to the top means you down at the
bottom
that’s why Jesus who is at the top came
to the bottom she did to many people at
the foot of the cross they’ll all scream
though I did that and Jesus looking down
at what y’all do it climb the cross get
up where I’m at come see what I’m seeing
I’m seeing the world what do you see it
you see it my feet get up and go do
something because he’s serious about
this world I got a new book that just
came out called advance I’ll just tell
you this
the Lord spoke this to me he suggests it
for 2018 he said if you could define
Christianity and put it in one word what
would it be and I thought what did you
say he said if you could take all of
Christianity for what you know of Crysta
and define it and put it in one word
what would it be I’m thinking
resurrection power miracle healing you
know what he said advanced he said
everything I do goes forward the whole
armor gods for your front parts nothing
for you back because you don’t turn
around and you don’t look back he said
I’m serious about that world let me tell
you some what the church has been
failing we have 7.5 billion people on
this planet and 2.3 billion Christians
what or we do it he said go to and
preach the gospel how many creatures
said don’t never criticize what it takes
to get that to that place where you
preach in that every Christian to every
believer to ever creature you’re about
to father’s business and he’s serious
about this
he loves his world you got to go get it
for it you as ministers of the gospel as
whoever’s you as Christians letting your
light so shine so when you understand
that
I don’t care here is what they listen
only my obligation and quickly forget
because they have no interest
then they have the treacherous here as
board who Jesus them treacherous ones
what are they they listen only to entrap
in order to steal your credibility and
influence those are treacherous ears
they listen only to entrap in order to
steal your credibility and influence one
thing I’ve been known for 40 years of my
ministry is integrity and character and
guess when this attack hit me what did
he tried to attack my character ladies
and gentlemen I’ve been preaching
full-time 40 years I pay all my own
expenses when I go it costs a lot under
fly jet I didn’t ask you to pay for it I
ask you to believe for it right you go
ask any pest I preached for I mean I
don’t I don’t make demands on nobody and
I didn’t know how much money you know
you’re mostly not Sammy you invite a lot
of people to your church you pay for the
hotel right you pay for the food you pay
for the fuel if they have a plate or you
pay for their airplane tickets am i
correct most pastors do that right that
don’t happen with me I just go nothing I
said how much money have I spit in 40
years that churches should have paid for
which they do which is none Ron I didn’t
know but I got good computers I got good
people working for me so I went to my
financial director I said I’d like to
know how much if I spent that church’s
normally would have picked up but I
never asked nineties and 40 years it’s
over 50 million dollars
now you don’t need to plot please stop
why why did you do that why do you do
that because it’s not wrong with
somebody paying you expenses
I have no problem that I call it the
David syndrome you see if this meeting
doesn’t cost me something that it’s not
worth much to me everyone said everybody
wants to preacher that can be a blessing
that I mentioned nothing wrong with that
but one day David wanted a piece of
property this man said King date I give
it to you David said no not that he
couldn’t receive he could receive he
said I will not offer God something that
doesn’t cost me something secrets if
it’s not valuable to me what makes you
think it’s gonna be valuable to God and
beside it seed so it and then harvest
coming so you see the treacherous here
is all the interesting is how we can
shut down the credibility in the
character of an individual you see what
I’m saying they listen only to entrap in
order to steal your credibility and
influence how about the scoffing and
taunting Harris you ever heard of them
an acting superior they revealed they
are inferior
they talked so much they carry it they
can’t hear anyone saying anything
because they think they know what
they’re talking about let me say it
again
the scoffing and taunting Harris and
acting superior well we really know what
this is all about they revealed they
were inferior they talk so much they
can’t hear anyone saying anything that’s
those scoffing and taunting here I’m
talking about the church world I can
understand this in the world because no
not to remember see but not the things
of God if we would just come together in
the unity of the faith food Lord Jesus
would have already come ladies and job
we’d have finished our job say so be
careful and losing the word before faith
can make it fruitful why write this now
memory depends upon attention memory
depends upon attention without attention
that can be no retention memory depends
upon
attention without
without attention there can be no
retention I’d like to pay attention when
we were going to guada can I was fine I
looked at brothercome I said well what
will you have me to do I asked in there
I said yeah it’s a good thing he wants
to preach on whether ever you’ve been
bridge dad let the Lord lead you but I
knew that was coming
and that’s right and we’re all float
fact Barrett told me said you guys will
flow especially morning means and I say
hot who but didn’t make note it we
didn’t say what do you see nothing to
each other we never have in all these
years we never know we just do what we
feel the Lord tells us to do
why because of attention attention see
let me say it again memory depends upon
attention without attention that can be
no retention you ever notice how a mama
can understand the babblings of a baby
baby girl I adore that and the mama go
get with the baby wants now the daddy
said well what he say Jody used to call
water OD OD
Cathy go you want some water
I thought how did you know what OD meant
because see she listened with her heart
instead of her head she heard with her
heart that baby said mama Bliss’s with
their heart daddy usually listens with
his head that kid don’t need that
but that mama can understand all that
stuff I mean some of the craziest words
you ever seen in your life
and they understand at all and I’m going
what how did you know that how’d you
know they wanted that I don’t know I
just knew it
that’s what a mama does they listen with
their heart well let me take some my god
he listens not only he listens with his
heart on everything we say he listens to
and he understands all our language and
sometime he has to put his hand over my
mouth
really yeah there there I saw a little
baby she look at that man she just see
babies love me because of his white hair
they think I’m God I really believe that
they just go
[Laughter]
babies and I look at my one I’ll go
ain’t no I’m very expressive in my face
and boy giggle and she went not saying
bye
that meant come get me and when I made a
step she won’t maybe I made a mistake
I could seep in her little eyes because
I was looking at her with my heart and I
did the same thing I went she go see we
talking to each other sometime baby
Christians do that all the time
God’s talking he’s got to go all blah
blah blah okay I got it
and then all of a sudden she came with
me and just and just kept looking at my
hair and want to touch my hair they want
just to touch my hair it’s real that’s
more that gotta say for most people on
television networks anyway that’s all
I’m gonna say
I ain’t gonna tell you but I’ll tell you
what bhava hurricane hit TV and there
will be chocolate water in toupees
flying by the thousand I’m telling and
that’s okay
we were so much for however you look
that’s the craziest thing I’ve seen in
my life Lords either how do I look
what do you think I’m gonna say you’re
gonna say that I don’t like that when
Kathy says this is make me look fat
[Applause]
you can’t win with that kind of stuff
I’ve got j:1 Carolyn Seville did one
time I soaked myself down preaching when
these believers greens and I pulled my
coat off we all walk it and she goes
Jessie what’s all in black the Lions
under your shirt I don’t wear t-shirt I
just wear some people die didn’t make me
sweat more I said Carolyn there’s a man
underneath this shirt she said Jerry
ain’t got no hair on his head
Jerry said wet hair don’t grow on a
playground baby
I think that’s how you said it simple I
said that look look – Jason you down
with your bad self
yeah what you trying to tell me Kathy
did I mess up a grass don’t grow on the
playground baby yeah that’s what it is
[Laughter]
which brings me to my next year a warped
era I did that on purpose I know exactly
what I’m doing the Warped tears y’all
trying to figure out what I said me too
I don’t know what I said
what is it warped Hira that pervert all
things because the only here with the
natural ear a warped earier perverts all
things because they only hear with the
natural ear they’re not hearing with the
ear of the heart so their faith doesn’t
grow that’s why Jesus said take heed
what you hear because a lot of what
people will say things to you because
they receive nothing but warped hearing
so their statements are warped or you
hearing what I’m saying
when you understand again it is possible
to all elicit but not all are hearing so
when you understand that then you
understand I don’t care here the
treasure is here or the scoffing
taunting hero now the war Tara well we
just don’t believe in that prosperity
well we don’t believe in healing well
you just hadn’t got sick enough yet I’ve
had people tell me that until they got
diagnosed and pancreatic cancer and
three months to live all of a sudden
somebody like me becomes very very
important to them would you pray well
sure I’m going to pray yeah I’m gonna
believe God with you
what do you want to do I want to live
but just now that don’t touch your heart
you’re a hard person only leverage I
said I believe you I’m gonna set myself
in agreement I had a man come down well
he don’t mind me said he’s named Greg
remember Greg Kot had cancer of the
throat doctor said he wasn’t gonna make
it I come walking in there and say hey
Greg how you doing so busy I got a bad
report I stopped a sever whose report
say you believe I say Greg we’re gonna
pray to God for God to heal you buddy
you okay oh yeah I said now you want a
liver you want to die I know that sound
hard but this is serious business you
want to live or do you want to die don’t
give me I don’t know you better be right
what you gonna say he said I want to
live I said then you shall live and not
die so we laid hands gonna pray for it
all right
God heal the man listen the doctors he
got to be able to speak to doctors
conference
because of the healing of the cancer
every stroke
they wouldn’t invite me but they would
invite Greg Greg was full of the Word of
God man Greg just went in there just
telling them but you know what it all
boils down to this do you want to live
or do you want to die I want to live
what the Bible said you should live not
now I didn’t walk out and saying well
I’ll tell you one thing bless God y’all
won’t tell you about the great healing
miracle we had in our church I know they
didn’t anything to do with it I was
interested in what he was believing I
was interested what he’s gonna say why
so I could set myself an agreement with
it that’s all I did was set myself on a
dream and my faith and connected with
his and with Cathy’s and and with his
wife in the pasture and and her and his
wife and Greg was healed the doctor said
we didn’t think you was gonna make it
they asked him the minister at the
Medical conventions here’s one that you
know you know man I believe in faith and
healing with his well the God did and
you know they interested in physical
things so they checked in my check
and how long that’s been now or maybe
what seven eight years still healed as
all get-out completely healthy and they
said he didn’t have a chance because
they went but what they saw
he went but what he believed and I
looked at my said listen to me Greg I
don’t lie and neither does God see he’s
not a warped hearer
I didn’t pervert and I just said what
Jesus said
now what stops some people in receiving
is the blind hear us right this dumb
runnin hear us they refused to knock
they will not seek therefore they shall
not understand or find a blind hear they
refused to knock they will not seek
therefore they shall not understand or
fine seek knock it be open to it come on
do something see what I know I don’t
want to do that well you won’t receive
the consequences of not doing that you
deal with a devil that’s a serial killer
he’s not here to make you
he don’t come to make sick he come to
kill steal kill and destroy yeah he was
he wants to take everything out of you
he’s not just gonna try to give you a
little slight coal he wants that to turn
into double pneumonia fill your lungs up
with fluid kill you
and yet you spend time listening to that
guy that’s blind Harris
they refuse to knock they will not seek
therefore they shall not understand or
fine they won’t they won’t do it and you
want them to because the word is so true
that’s why the cough kept saying in the
script take heed what you hear then
there’s the proud Harris they are puffed
up so much they become bloated with
their own natural wisdom and head toward
destruction oh I know that faith stuff
that not come it’s not working I’ve
heard that stuff you didn’t I can tell
you her because you didn’t hear it
because it didn’t work it people tell me
that all the time
I don’t believe that I said I can tell
see that’s a proud here they’re so
puffed up and bloated my god with their
own natural wisdom and they head toward
destruction because what comes before
proud a proud look what’s gonna happen
oh you got some you got some problems
here so the proud here is their puffed
up so much they become bloated with
their own natural wisdom and they head
toward destruction that’s why I believe
the Lord told Kenneth and Gloria to have
a believers convention a believers
convention now that defines what this
whole place is about a believers
convention yet there was a depth in the
believers convention I didn’t understand
almost 30 years ago because on this
platform when the first one I did
Kenneth Copeland says give an invitation
I said what you said
he said give an invitation you know what
the invitation is on Jessa I said yeah
yeah yeah I said it’s a believers
convention Kenneth hey I’m gonna argue
with the man that God gave the
revelation he said I know that that’s
you didn’t get it Kenneth it’s a
believers convention Kenneth day nobody
going to come not brother Copeland when
you become an ignorant to him he goes
like this
you got that look on his face like I
said okay I bound my head I told
everybody bow their heads and I said to
myself this is a believers convention
Jesus it’s see my natural mind was taken
over my spirit I heard it but it didn’t
hear it finally I just rebuked that I
said the main order nobody’s own meeting
maybe he got a cousin that ain’t safe
that’ll come I thought it wouldn’t come
that’s a miracle of God and some
believers convention I mean people don’t
walk in and he say we’re going to they
don’t come he said we sinners no I gave
that our first one it’s on tape 602
first time conversions I went this is a
believer sinners convention 602 I walked
off that kid who looked at me with
I said I’m not questioning that no more
he telling me to give an invitation if
there’s five cats I’m gonna get one of
them saying that’s a lost cat in one
sense I was a proud hearer right there
because I already had determined it some
believers convincing hmm then there’s
the sluggish Harris let me close with
that y’all enjoyed this and i’ma go over
this because some of you were writing it
down I’ll go over it real quick
there’s the sluggish Harris they need to
remember not practice what their because
they’re not rooted and without roots you
cannot grow you see what has to grow on
you is what people can’t see which is
the roots you have then once your roots
starts growing and they’re established
then your trees going to grow then the
trunks coming up and then the branches
are coming up then the leaves are coming
up and then the shades gonna come I have
a tree very close to my house that’s
over 400 years old it’s a live oak oh it
has it seen some stuff Hurricane Katrina
tried to destroy it but it was too
strong it was too Shady just stood there
come on sucker do what you’ve got to do
you I’m rooted baby and I mean in roots
a huge well I mean you could just see it
it that that tree is social it pushes
concrete out the way they just roots the
concrete 9 inches boom just pushes it up
that’s rooted and grounded buddy and if
you blow one of my leaves off I’ll
create another one
and I preached on that the other day I
was underneath that tree I’m on this
week we just got a little thing and I
had an acorn in my hand I said and it
started this is how it looked like when
it started see God saw this we just see
this little thing let me say this in a
sluggish Harris they need to remember no
practice what they hear because they’re
not rooted and without roots you cannot
grow you can be say 50 years and have
what I call surface faith you’re not
rooted and grounded because when
somebody’s beliefs says something
unbelievable in order to make you shout
because you see if you’re not using your
faith on something impossible you’re not
using your faith at all
I love a falcon 900 Keith Scott what I
love it thing got one of the finest
planes up I love it
why don’t you get you one of those I
love it
that’s a fine play why because I can do
that myself I got that money I can do
that
donning of it no glory in that I can do
that but he made me look at something I
couldn’t do unless a barik which I’m not
gonna do I learned that from brother
Copeland sister Koch what I got inside
of me that rooted down so strong in me
it means amazing when I heard him say
that I went what that years ago that’s
before I even knew brother Koch how
didn’t know good Kenneth the glory you
understand I came out of the Catholic
ranks I knew the Pope in Billy Graham
that’s it
that’s it but that went off of me like a
shotgun because they faith comes by
hearing I said I’m gonna do it I took
that scripture oh no man anything but
eleven like I took John 3:16 for God so
loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son
same Jesus so he said now go look at
this up next maybe I get it used with
but even a used one it’s expensive
that’s when he gave me that statement if
you’re not putting your faith on
something impossible you’re not using
your faith at all now I don’t mind
having an I love it don’t say that’s a
fine
that’s fine I’d be sad I’m satisfied
with the one I got now I’m giving that
one away they didn’t tell you about that
then tell you about all those a giveaway
anybody didn’t want you to know that
they don’t want you to know that during
Hurricane Katrina I gave away three
million dollars to help people and go
tell you none of that and even if I show
them the evidence they go believe it
they don’t understand any of that but
when I looked at that thing I went then
he said this you’re not gonna raise any
money on that this has just come you
know what I thought and I’m paying for
this ladies and gentlemen I paid this
every month I’m preaching the 2.9
billion people every month in 14
different languages all over this planet
I know out of 2.9 billion people there’s
54 to 60 thousand I’m gonna give $1,000
that’s 60 million or 54 million whatever
it cost and I pay cash for I know that
that’s just called good mathematics I
can figure that out that’s easy can’t do
that you should just tell people you
believe it I said you’re making this
more impossible he said yes yes you’re
gonna do it I said I’m gonna do it
he said is your word my word I said
almost how I’m gonna lie to God how even
a lot of God I said when I’m not there
yet he said we’ll get there
I said well how do I get there talk to
yourself just say this is what you’re
gonna believe justly this is what you’re
gonna believe just that this is what you
believe in
just as this is what you know because
you know in whom you have believed all
of a sudden that gospel began to go Duke
Duke to be do that scripture you know I
said my god it’s mine why because it had
to get into the realm of impossibility
so I got rid of all that I don’t care
here is and the treasure is here is and
the scoffing and toning here is in the
warped eras the blind here isn’t a proud
here is in the sluggish years and I said
hearing is an urgent business
be weary of not being a good listener
that was your first point to hear is a
duty we must see beyond the outward word
so we can understand the inward meeting
disregarding truth becomes disliked
truth you disregard the truth you won’t
dislike it truth grows to perfection
when it’s held fast and heard hearing is
utilized for the advantage of others
spiritual knowledge must never be at a
standstill I’m growing daily be careful
and losing the word before your faith
can make it fruitful
don’t let anybody rob it memory depends
upon attention I could preach long on
these things but I have a timeframe here
without attention that can be no
retention it is possible that all are
listening but all are not hearing then I
dealt with the seven here is I don’t
care here there listen only by
obligation and quickly forget because
they have no interest the treacherous
here is they listen only to entrap in
order to steal your credibility and
influence the scoffing and taunting
hearers in acting superior they reveal
they or
birria they talked so much they can’t
anyone can’t hear anyone saying anything
the Warped terrace they pervert all
things because they only hear with the
natural ear the blind hear us
they refuse to mock they will not seek
therefore they shall not understand the
fine the proud hear us they are puffed
up so much they become bloated with
their own natural wisdom and head toward
destruction then the sluggish hear us
they neither remember nor practice what
they hear because they’re not rooted and
without roots you cannot grow see when
you understand the responsibility with
this is take heed what you hear that’s
why I’m so glad these believers
convention to put on because you see
we’re gonna tell you what the right word
says we’re not gonna give you our
opinions we’re gonna tell you what this
Bible says now we will preach a verse it
tell you what the God told us about the
verse but we’re gonna come back to this
book all the time this is our well the
teacher is all of us here our textualist
it’s what the text says you see the
Constitution this is a living document
no it’s not this is a living document
you know why I know the Constitution’s
not is that there’s not a living
document because it has to be amended
it’s been amended a bunch of times what
he said it’s because it’s living no
that’s because they didn’t get it right
the first time but when God wrote this
and there’s no amendments because he got
it right the first time
now this is a living document
see there’s no amendments to it he never
changed he’s the same yesterday today in
vailable he works with all kinds of
different peoples all kinds of
dispensations all kinds of people that
believe all kind of crazy things even
when all said and done he makes it
perfect because in the beginning was the
word the Word was God and the Word was
with God so you can’t separate him from
his word and what he says in Psalm 13
I’m 34 my covenant will not break nor
alter the thing that goes out of my lips
he can’t alter what he says he means
what he says and says what he means so I
made up my mind
years ago that I want my word to be like
God’s Word then when I say something I’m
gonna do what I say now that sometimes I
said something I shouldn’t said but I
went and did it anyway because I said it
it cost me the Bible saying you sweaty
on hurt
you can do that and I said because I
said it I’m gonna stand by that because
you can’t separate me from my word you
can’t separate God from his word be
there for imitators of God as dear
children so I’m gonna do what he says
sometime I don’t like what he says
sometime I want to say what Peter says
according to thy word
but what he wants me to say according to
your word and my word because two of us
agree on earth as touching anything you
can’t remember this and I’m gonna deal
with this in different manners doing the
week you know evening you don’t even
have your own desires do you know all
desires you have with given to you by
God you ever walk by something and you
wanted it you ever walk by something you
thought man I like that you felt that it
was yours but it wasn’t
where do you think you got that desire
he put that desire in you you might what
we’re not using it people who get mad
about their you might see a nice diamond
ring and you think you thought
look at that things fall and you think
woman that’s expensive man have an
eminent yeah you know why you liked it
so much God put that in you do you know
he put that in the earth so you could
believe for it do you know all the seeds
gods if a song has already been sold on
