Okay. I know you got it in your head that the how things are going to go and what you're going to do and

and this morning as we started to worship, Go just impressed. Something really heavy on me that I haven't felt for quite a long time.

I don't want to say to you as a church, get ready.

It's like as if you've been in a dry time. But I know is, it's been dry, that there hasn't been the flow that you wanted, what a tsunami happens. One of the first things that you notice is that the sea goes further out than it normally does.

And the sea is going to church with you further than it normally does. but I want to say to you this morning, oh my gosh. Get ready? Cuz that wave coming at you? It's coming. There is a wave of Salvation that's coming at you. You are going to see people get paid for the first time in numbers that you have not even dreamed about you.

But you're going to have to be ready. Unless I see the leadership, team thing, big do not do not come in your thinking, and you're planning and bake. Kind of a lot American Freight thing. Bigger. Go home. You got to think back. Cuz if you don't think big, you won't be ready. And you're going to have to take risks with people when that wave hits is it is going to hit, seconds, and you're going to have to put things into place. In Arab ice that you didn't think you were going to have to, and you will have to use great wisdom because you will have to take was putting people in charge of people.

So, you won't be out in just one ice cream. Oh my gosh. Wait, wait, wait, I saw the way I saw it. So, get ready. Get ready thing big. Okay, don't let the enemy. Pull you in and misguided you because of the dryness that you have been working in that that's all you're going to ever going to see if there is a wave coming at you. Oh my goodness. I just pray. I just live long enough to be able to hear about it or see it cuz it. Oh my goodness.

Honestly, I didn't. It wasn't until we started to worship. Called you really impressed that all my heart for you. I am just about. I am so excited for you. Just not like it.

Well, it's time. You said, we Navigate to church, gold. Oceans in Bude.

Already on one text said, soon, as I got here this morning from somebody in the church, they said, where are you?

Do you got people checking up on you?

I got good news and bad news for you. This morning. Is it legal for when somebody says that?

Could you want the good news? You don't want to buy something.

But I'll give you the good news first.

Ghost, where is here? This morning to encourage you.

I just love encouraging people.

because we're this morning is also here to challenge you

And it's one of the ways God has used me over the years is that he has used me to bring a challenge for him.

When you think back over the last 6 months,

I want you to think about all the sermons. That you have heard in the last 6 months.

Are you today? More passionate for Jesus is that you were 6 months ago.

Are you more passionate about seeing people say than you were six months ago?

Are you more active as a Christian? Then you were 6 months ago,

If not, why not?

We have heard the word about for 6 months.

And if we are just the same as we were six months ago,

Why will a girl squirt?

Those were times got to change us. It is God's a motivator.

I think I've changed a bit in the last six months and I we we have some amazing teaching in our church in the last 6 months.

I am. Less judgmental than I was six months ago.

Because of the word of God that has fed into me.

I should encourage you every 6 months. Sit down with your towel. Cuz you know yourself better than anybody else does.

Ask you, so those questions?

I'm on more passionate for Jesus than I was six months ago.

I'm on more passionate about seeing people's site that I was 6 months ago. Am I more active?

as a Christian that I was 6 months ago, Do yourself a spiritual health, check.

Because if we are not growing as Christians, we have to ask, why? What is it? That is stopping us from growing. We have to ask that question.

I have a.

A guy that is is one of my kind of Heroes spiritual Heroes. At a school dance. Manco Billy. Bray. And he lived in the 1800s. He was young man in the early 1800s up until he was the 5:30, but Billy was drunker. A drink away every penny that he could lay his hands on.

I want to go try it. He would tell dirty stories.

He was known for it, he was famous for it in the time.

Until one day, he read a Christian book.

I'm not book program under conviction.

And a week later. Dining in a 10 MI. He fell on his knees. Jesus into his life. I'm Billy God save and boy. Did he get outside? It was totally honest formational.

So much so that the first week after his salvation, that he came home and put a bag of coal inside the door and his wages on the table, his wife wouldn't believe it. And she didn't for 2 months

and when she did believe it, she reeked committed, Our Lives to the Lord cuz she was

He was just. A minibus five but nothing but he was just an indomitable character. In the later, part of his ministry.

He was in was probably into his early sixties. He was one day in this Garden, only sneeze. Digging his potatoes. And it was a really bad crop. He was struggling to find a signed potato anywhere.

The devil creeps up behind him.

Disability.

Do you think that your father loves you? Beliefs are applied.

I think he does.

I don't think so. Bella Bella. Because if he did, he give you a good crop of potatoes.

Billy said, I will never not. He said I said devil, you're a liar. More to the point I served you for all those years. I know, you gave me was Rags on my back, a ratchet home and an aching head and no potatoes.

On the fear of Hellfire to finish up with.

It's not being a servant of God for 30 years. And I have a clean heart. A soul full of joy. My family have never been with a guy and in the end he will take me home to reign with him for eternity.

But he said, I look Ryan and he was nowhere to be found. And he didn't even have the manners to say good morning.

Billy could stand up for his Jesus.

It may have been five foot nothing, but spiritually he would stand up for Jesus.

I know him.

That we used to sing. School. Stand up. Stand up for Jesus. I thought that song was written for the Salvation Army.

I even thought that might have been written by the Salvation Army. But it wasn't.

It was written by a pastor in the Episcopal Church. Don't try and say that with a mic for the biscuit cuz your pepper everybody.

It was written by Pastor in the Episcopal Church who was in 1850 was kicked out of that church group. Appreciation against slavery.

24 to 48 hours before he died.

Appendix words.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus. The soldiers of the cross, the tires Royal Banner. It must not suffer loss from Victory. Unto Victory is Army. He surely has vanquished and Christ is Lord indeed. Stand up. Stand up for Jesus. The trumpet call away. Horse to the mighty conflict in this is glorious day. Yeah. That are his nice serve him against unnumbered, foes that carriage rides with danger, and strength-to-strength opposed Stand up. Stand up for Jesus stand in his strength alone. The arm of Flesh will fail you. You dare not trust your own. Put on the gospel armor, each piece put on with prayer where juicy Kohl's or danger. Be never wanting there. Stand up. Stand up for Jesus. The Strife will not be long. This day, the noise of battle the next. The Victor song, To him that overcometh, a crying of Life. Shelby. He with the king of glory shall reign eternally.

Billy knew how to stand up for Jesus.

They've asked me for a typo for what?

If you don't deal with the Enemy, he deals with you.

I'm going to start to come and

read Russell reading this morning. Long reading is hard to read it cuz she's much better at it than me.

This is the reason is from 2 Kings chapter 9, verses 1 to 26 and then siracusa 37.

The Prophet Elijah, some of the man from the company of the perfect. The prophets is said to him. Talk to your cloak into about, take this loss of olive oil with you and go to Grandma's. When you get there. Look for Jason some Joseph. Listen to didn't she go to him? Get him away from his companions and take him into an inner room. Then take the flowers and pour the oil on his head and to care. This is what the Lord says. I know it's you can you is real and open the door and run don't delay. So the young Prophet went around back. When he arrived, he found the army officers getting together. I have a message for you Commander. He said, which of us. Will you come on? Do you replied J? Who got up and went into the house, then the Perfect. Pour the oil on Jay whose head and declared, this is what the Lord. The god of Israel says, I anoint you King over the Lord's, People Israel. You want to destroy the house that I have your master and I will avenge the blood of my servants, the prophets, on the blood of all the stuff, instead of a jezebel The hold. How is it a hardwood Parish? I will cut off from a heart every lost mail in Israel slave or free. I will make the house that they had like the host of jeroboam son of nebat on the house of Bosch ascenta. The Hydra I suggest about dogs will devour her on the Plata Crohn's. I just real and no one will bury her. Then he opened the door and run. When jehu went out to his fellow officers, when did the Austin is everything? All right? Why did this may not come to you? You know, the man and the story of the things he says that's not true, this at tennis. Guy who said he was what he told me. This is what the Lord says. I anoint you King over Israel. They quickly took their clothes and spread them under him on the bus steps. Then they blew the trumpet and started Jay, who is King The Jane. Who is Senator Joseph? That the son of nimshi, conspired against him. It's an old is r.l. I've been defending dramas. But King jarom add return to just real to recover from the wounds. The Armenians had inflicted on him in the back of. It has Dale. King of a Ram Jack. You said, if you decide to make me King, don't let anyone supposed to the city to go and tell the news in Jezreel. Then he got into his Chariot. I'm road to Jezreel because Dora was resting there that has the king of Judah has gone down to see him. What's the new cat standing on the tower and just real Soldier whose trip is approaching. He called out, I seasoned troops coming. Get a Horseman to meet the men. Do you come in? Peace. Horsemen rode off to me and said, this is what the king says. Do you come in? Peace. What do you have to do? Is peace day. He replied falling behind me. Look up reported the messenger. Has reached them but it isn't coming back. So, the king sent her, the second Horseman when he came to them. He said this is what the king says. Do you come in? Peace. He replied. What do you have to do with peace full in behind me? The lookout reported, he has reached them but it isn't coming back on either. The driving is like that is Jay who said he drives like a maniac Picture of my Chariot joram ordered and when it was hitched up your arm can get Israel and I desire king of Judah.

they met him at the portrait run that it belongs in Naples that just realized Red Jordans with J. Who have you come in? Peace? Jehu. How can there be peace? Jackie replied. As long as all the idolatry and Witchcraft of your mother's Jersey telephone Durham 10 departing flight treachery, then drew his sword and short Torn Between the shoulders, the arrow pierced, his heart on his stomach, down in his chariot. Jay who said David Carr, his charges officer pick him up and throw them on the field that belonged in the neighbors but just realized I remember how you and I were riding together and Cyrus Beyond. I have his father. When the Lord spoke prophecy against him yesterday I saw the blood neighbors and the blood of his stance declares the Lord, and I will show you make you pay for it on this ground because the Lord there pick him up and try and will not float in accordance with the word of the Lord.

Enjoy human to adjust view. When Jezebel heard about it should put on eye makeup, arranged her hair and looks out of a window. Sju, enter the gates. You have you come in peace used in your murderer of your master. You looked up at the window and Cody who is on my side. Two or three units. Cool down at 10. Look up. Jonathan Jay who said so they threw her down and some of her blood on the horses. I said Trump was her underfoot. Jehue Renton and Frank take care of that cursed woman. He said them bury her when she was a King's Daughter. But the, when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull speech and their hands. They went back and told Jay who said, this is the word of the Lord at his folks, who was seventy large at this point on the photograph. And I just real dogs will devour Jezebel flush Jessica's body would be like, Dylan on the ground in the 4th of Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say this is Jezebel

Thank you.

Okay, ju was anointed as king.

Is instructions wear the suit? I have Jezebel. I mean, if you read their one, true Kings Jezebel was bad news.

You remember Elijah who had that amazing Victory on Mount Carmel and an old cold die in The Fire And it laptop everything and amazing victory. But when he heard the Jezebel has got his name on her hit list. He ran for his life. He either there.

Jezebel. How to rein a error on the area. It was just really bad.

But it is funny. Elijah ran. He couldn't get out of God's way. And when he stopped running, God sent them. What are enlarged? Elijah told him that he's really depressed place.

Been interesting. God said, go back the way you came.

It was the last thing that most probably allows you wanted to do. But going back the way you came been that he has this instruction. Which guy who thought he was to go with? Anoint, changer is King. As you heard there. When jehu was anointed as King when he had that anointing on him.

He rode ferociously, Israel.

You going to get to watch with some credit. He was doing his job, he kind of look down. Valley, and there's somebody coming on us driving like an idiot.

It could possibly be that guy jehu.

So they send somebody to meet him.

The guy that went to meet him must have been really surprised. Cuz he, he got there waiting for jehu to come up.

Hello. And I he was coming. He said, see you coming face. And he heard a huge reply.

What are you have to do with peace pulling behind me?

Are you ready?

What would it have mattered? Say he was just stopped and spoke to the guy.

Well, that's it. Number one, he would like to stop.

When he was thought he would have liked to have been careful not to lose his sense of purpose.

And the enemy would have had the opportunity to distracted.

And that's why the second Rider got exactly the same reply. Jay is falling behind me.

When the Holy Spirit tells you to do something. Especially if it's outside of your comfort zone. That's a voice in your head that says,

let's think about this.

You can't do that. You're not qualified.

You can't do that. You make yourself look stupid.

You can't do that, you fail cuz you always do.

You only talk to you tonight, but you never stay the course to you.

That voice has got one agenda, just one.

Enough to get you to stop.

A J, who do it. He knew what his mission was, and he knew that he had to get it done and he did.

And there's a principle here, folks.

Do not negotiate with the Enemy.

But you say Albert look.

This is all. Bloodthirsty Old Testament stuff. Where is it in the New Testament?

What if you turn to Matthew 16?

I misread your three verses from 21, 22 and 23.

From that time. Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer, many things from the elders and the chief priests and scribes and be killed and be raised again on the third day.

Picture then took him to one side and began to rebuke him saying, far be it from you Lord that this this shall not happen to you.

But he turned inside the feature, get behind me. Satan. For you are an offense to me. Are you are not mindful of the things of God, but all the things of men

Call Peter B lockyer is Peter gets bad press.

I would have done exactly the same as Peter did. If I have been painter, I would have said, hang on Jesus. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Is that what they're going to do to you in Jerusalem? You ain't going.

You got too good, a thing going here. We got Revival happening is they're going to do that to you. Over My Dead Body. They ain't going. You aren't going there.

but you say, if he had not gone to Jerusalem,

we would have had no Last Supper. We would have had no cross.

No crucifixion. No Rising again on the third day. No Ascension, no. Coming of the Holy Spirit and no spread of the Gospel.

And this chart. Or any other would not be in existence.

Jesus knew that he had to go to Jerusalem.

and then it was crucial that if he was not fault accident,

and that's why you said, Get behind me. Satan.

A can be a negotiator.

when God tells you to do something,

Fear says.

What if you get it wrong?

What if you haven't heard from dog?

You're going to make a fool of yourself.

if you say that in church, People will either think that you're crazy, you're arrogant or your boastful.

When you don't do it. He puts the boot in any way. There. I said you couldn't do it. You're a failure. You're always going to be. There's no point in you going to church. As they're only going to look down on you anyway.

You're a miserable excuse for a Christian.

And when you stay at home, what you got? Depressed, and lonely.

He's a real good parody.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Can you remember the verse that was on the screen? That came up in the fusions.

Anybody tell me what was Not worth or what? Give me a a rough. What it said. At 1st and division 6.

Nobody remember.

when you have done all to stand, Stand firm.

It was it was there on the screen and when I saw it I went love it when a plan comes together.

When you have done all to stand, you stand firm.

But not. But not in our strength. Let me remind you.

I want 1st Street and not him. Stand up for stand up, stand up for Jesus. Stand in his strength alone. The arm of Flesh will fail you. You dare not trust your own.

You do not stand in your own strength.

When you have the Holy Spirit In You, holy spirit, will see the enemy coming way before you do.

The holy spirit will give you the power to resist.

The power to say full in beyond meat. Because I am going to fulfill Michael in golf today.

I've got my pedal to the Christian metal, so get out the way.

Is it when we talked about a colon and golf? Things get out of proportion of it. Sometime your colon could be to be a missionary. In some foreign country.

But it may not be. That's not for everybody.

Or it could be to bring up your children so that they have the opportunity to serve the Lord. You know, I got people say to me I'm just a single parent. Don't you just a single pair of me? You have within your Christ.

I come over to you that you have no idea of its value.

The children that you have in your car. Are the next evangelists pastors, teachers prime minister members of parliament. You don't know what you have. In your whole adult has entrusted them to you to bring them up in the ways of the Lord to bring them up, to be able to fulfill the colon that God has go on their logs.

Or it could be to be the best employee manager. Disciple, that you can be.

But one thing I can guarantee you. Is that the enemy will try and negotiate you out of it?

I want your answer. When he does.

Have Mercy album.

You have authority.

I expect all of you can remember. Haven't stayed out too long, playing with your mates and it was tea time and your mom or dad came to the door.

I wouldn't of said. Oh darling, you're a bit late for your tea. Would you mind coming in?

if your name was Dave, You would have, you would have heard this? David.

Because it was a voice of authority.

You have Spiritual Authority through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. But you have to use it.

It's not a please would you came to me to be really convenient if you would No, it's just behind me. Follow me because I'm going to fulfill the calling of God on my life today. What are you? Like it or not?

And there is no discussion about it.

I don't want to thank you for those of you that have joined us online this morning. I know this church is really blessed because of you. This morning, the word of God has brought up anything in your life that you need help with. I know the leadership hear you, not them, by whatever means on their website they would love to support you. In your walk with God.

but right now, there's going to be some time of ministry here in this church.

Is he? I don't know where you're at with go.

but what I do know is

that white gold filled me with his holy spirit. It changed my life dramatically.

I saw things that I didn't see before I had I understood and began to understand the authority that I had. Being able to resist.

but before I pray for anyone to be filled with the Holy Spirit, if you feel that that's you,

Is this morning? You do not know Jesus as your personal savior?

Then you are the most important person in this room right now.

Because you don't have a destiny with gold yet.

But God wants you to have it. He wants to be able to call you his son or his daughter.

Is longing to be able to do that.

And if not you this morning, I am very old-fashioned cuz I'm old

And this morning, you're either going to stand up for Jesus or you're not.

Alarm, not for people waving from Beyond the shares of the back.

If you want to receive Jesus as your personal savior, there is no super glue on your seat.

if you want to ask Jesus into your life, Then I asked you to get out of your seat. Stand up for Jesus. On walk you to the front? I'll give you a just a few moments. For you to do that.

Okay.
