The Seed Sown Is Greater Than Your Need | 28July2024

Congregation: [00:00:00] Glory to God, glory to God.

 

Pastor West: [00:00:02] You see, the problem is, I'm not speaking directly to any of you. The problem is when you're not, if what you do is called praise here, you're not a praiser, you're not a worshiper. Then when you get to church, the music or the praise team has to have a crowbar anointing to loose people. Come on, set us free! Instead of trying to contain the praise the Lord said he comes in and inhabits the praise. If you come in and inhabit someone, if you come to arrest someone, you got to go to them. If you're an appraiser of the Lord's going to come to inhabit, which means he has to come on the scene to inhabit. Thank you Lord. So if you don't know anything else to do. Hallelujah. There's times that you need to quit reading the Bible, actually. I don't know if I've ever said that. What I'm trying to say is this. There's times when you've already said and you've already done and you've already agreed, and you made your last statement. Praise God, and the last word standing is doing the commanded. Amen. Thank you Jesus. So with that last word, you know what? You know what? You know what faith simple definition is. Can I give you the simple definition to know if you're in faith? I got it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah! Until you get to I got it. You need to get. Because you don't got glory. And when you got.

 

Pastor West: [00:01:26] You don't have to get some more. Oh, yeah. Hallelujah. Glory. I hope I don't they don't check my English and spelling on that. Glory. So faith gets to the place where it says, I believe that I have received. Hallelujah. Generally speaking, if it's faith, you don't see any part of it, but you do see it with the eyes of faith, because you have a sixth sense. And that sixth sense, I believe, is faith. And it sees with the natural. I just cannot see. So if you can see, you got it. Hallelujah. Then what would be the expression that you would have on the inside for the thing that you say that you believe that you receive, that will change your life forever because you have chosen to believe. Yes, Lord. Thank you Lord. You by faith you chose to believe. Glory to God. That God's grace which is sufficient for all things. Yes, Lord. Is enough. Amen. Thank you. Amen. Amen. You can be seated. Well, good morning and welcome. Glad to have each and every one of you here this morning. Are we going live? Well good morning. Welcome to Facebook YouTube, Twitter face instant Twitter. Now we're thrilled to have you here. We're we're in. If you're joining us from wherever you're joining from we're in Jemison, Alabama. We're in the metropolis. Right. Come this way. Get off 65. We're right next to the Galleria. Well within 35 miles of Rockville. We've been in a series on the love of God.

 

Pastor West: [00:02:57] And if that's what you was expecting, then I'll give you my apologies, because today we're going to take a little detour. I really believe that I'm doing this. Going this way by. By the direction of the Holy Spirit. We will get right back on course. Well, I say that, but here I am today. But I believe that we'll get right back on course soon. But there's some things that we need to address this morning. I mean, this is what he said. He said, I want you to address address them on these things. This is a this is not something that you need to run around right now. You know, sometimes we we have inspirational messages and we have informational and I like both of them. I like to get excited and I like to get run around. You know, it's a big football season that may be good or bad at your house. I don't know, it might be time to get the pom poms out, but there's some time. But what you might enjoy about the sport know this that some athlete has done what he's had to do in the weight room with no cameras on him. Hours of sweat and practice and trying to beat someone else out for a position. The old saying is, when you come to a football game like that, you go into a stadium with 100,000 people and watch. You watch 22 men who's over exercised, being cheered on by 100,000 whose under exercise.

 

Pastor West: [00:04:31] And they say we we beat them today. Well, actually, you was never on the field, so I understand the identity of that. But you see, we but we do have an identity. And our identity is for sure, because your identity is who it's in Christ. And when you begin to see what Christ has done for you, you'll be highly impressed. Amen. Amen. Mark Hankins says it this way. He said, if you're not impressed with yourself, it's because you haven't taken a look at Jesus lately. That's right. Because you're in Jesus, you're in Christ. We are in a generational crisis and have been for some time. The Scripture tells us we're going to be this way. Didn't tell us there's the end times get here. It'd be. It'd be better and better, but it'd be worse and worse. But darkness never puts out the light. Amen. You can't go to Lowe's. You can't go to Marvin's. You can't go to Home Depot and say, I got this. The lights in my house is just too light, and I got too much natural light coming in. I want to buy a dark bulb to put the light out. Well, you can buy light bulbs, but you can't buy a dark bulb because there's no darkness that can absorb and put out the light. Amen. And he is the light. But then he he puts his emphasis on. But now you're the light of the world.

 

Congregation: [00:05:50] Amen. Amen.

 

Pastor West: [00:05:52] As he is, so are you in heaven? No. In the earth. Well, how is he? So the question has been asked before. What do you mean? How is he? You mean how is he in heaven? Well, I'm sure he's fine in heaven. How do you do in the earth? Well, that wouldn't be bad either, would it? Now, here's someone who didn't need a bank account. Why would you need a bank account when you have at your disposal all the resources of heaven and earth? When you can say, I need some money and tell. Tell your disciple to go fishing. You really don't need Wells Fargo. Right? If you can multiply the fish in the loaves, you can take a two piece fish dinner and feed 15,000 people. You really don't need a large bank account. So faith, as it's been said, is the currency that we spend that grace has already supplied everything that you'll ever need. We're going to go we're going to start in Romans, but I'm going to read something to you in Hebrews first. Hebrews. And it's Hebrews chapter four. Go quickly. It says, for the word of God in verse 12 is quick. Thus I'm telling you that in case you thought it was slow. The Word of God is quick and powerful. I say that to you in case you thought it was weak and or insignificant and sharper, in case you thought it was dull.

 

Pastor West: [00:07:24] Then the two edged sword, in case you thought it was a water pistol, piercing into the dividing of soul and spirit, and the joints and marrow discern the thoughts and the heart and intents of the heart. Verse 14. Seeing then that we have a great high priest that has passed into the heavens, who is that? Jesus. He is the Son of God. Let us hold fast our profession and that word profession. If you study it out, it's also the word confession. So Jesus is your high priest, so it tells us to hold fast our confession, our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, But was in all points tempted just like you were. Yet he did it without sin. Now, this morning I want to give you the invitation. Some people preach and give the invitation at the end. I'm going to give you the invitation at the front end. Amen. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that you may obtain mercy and find grace to help in your time of need. That's right. I want to read that last verse to you from the amplified, the Ampc. If you got it up there, you got it. All right. It's on your screen. Look here. That's the ampc. There you go. I never knew someone who could write a translation so fast. There it is. Let us then, fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace.

 

Pastor West: [00:09:00] The throne of God. Excuse that word unmerited. It shouldn't be there. Favor to us sinners because we're not sinners no more. Are you a sinner? No. You was a sinner. You saved by grace. You're still. A lot of Christians say, well, I'm just, you know, I'm just a no sinner. No. You know. No. You were that. You were a sinner. But then you were saved. Amen. Would you ever dirty and needed a bath? Then when you took a bath, was you dirty? Was you ever hungry? Then you ate and you weren't hungry anymore? Was your other unworthy? Yes. Did he make you worthy? Did his blood make you worthy? Yes. Why would we keep on reading translations like this one and other ones? That keeps telling you how unworthy you are and how unmerited you are. How could you be the righteousness of God an unmerited at the same time? Now we were unmerited. We were unworthy. We were undone and we were lost. But now the lost has been found. Yes. Amen. Glory! And we've been saved. Yes. I know it's hard for people to say this. We don't say it in pride. We're talking about what Jesus said. We're boasting what he's done. Amen. You are. You are worthy now. Amen. Why? Because I'm identifying with Jesus. Is Jesus worthy? Yes. Where are you? In him. And he lives in you. Amen. Well, we can't be unmerited.

 

Congregation: [00:10:15] That's right.

 

Pastor West: [00:10:16] See you. We're never going to grow if we're going to stay in the UN's. Unworthy. Unsaved on this. On that. How could you really be the righteous of God and be unmerited at the same time? So it depends on what? Where you're saying that when was you unmerited before you came to Christ? If you're still unmerited, unworthy, then what did the blood of Jesus do? Very little to nothing. Now, I'm not saying that in pride. You're saying, well, I'm worthy of everything. Well, actually you are if you're born again. But if that attitude is your attitude, you're still wrong. I'm saying because of him, you're worthy that your children have to get up and beg. Your grandchildren beg for food. Could I please have? No. They make mistakes all the time, which would make them unworthy in that sense. But they just get right up to the table and eat. They expect it. That's right. Yes. Then if they don't even like what you're going to eat, what they're going to eat, they'll tell you about it. Well, you didn't tell my mother. I mean, you did once. Then that foolishness got out of you. But now you're merited. It's merited. Which means it's supposed to happen. Amen. Where the word of the king is, there's power. Well, what if it. What if it said like this? Well, the word of animated king is. Then it would have to be not so much power, because he would be an unmerited king.

 

Congregation: [00:11:46] Amen.

 

Pastor West: [00:11:47] Well, my wife said just a few minutes ago there's two things, only two things the Bible says you need to conquer in this life. See how simple it is. I'm so glad this is simple because it just left me out of the whole thing. I would have been left completely out in the dark if this thing hadn't been simple. Amen. The Bible is so easy to understand. You say? Well, I just read it and I can't understand it. Well, I understand that I say the same thing. Some people read it in Greek, and some people read it in Hebrew, and other people learn how to read it in the Holy Ghost. See, the Holy Ghost knows all things. Yes. Amen. I stayed out of revelation for years ago because I didn't know. What about the beast and the horns and Blackwater and Green Rider and this rider and 17 eyes and 14 legs. And I was like, I mean, I said, Lord, I don't understand that. He said, you don't have to understand it, just read it. He said, read the first chapter. I started reading the first chapter and at the very beginning revelation says, blessed is he that reads this book. And I said, he said, stop. I said, he said, well, I said, I said, blessed is he that reads it. He said, did it say he that reads it and understand it? I said, no, he said, you just get blessed if you read it.

 

Pastor West: [00:12:53] I said, well, I'm fixing to read about me, about a bunch of creatures. A bunch of creatures, those creatures that have features. But I can tell you this, the more that I read it, the more Holy Ghost said, well, now stop that. He he told me. He said, go with the book of Daniel. And I'm like, hey man, are you really talking to me? Me? I mean, come on. Imagine a preacher find out that God talks to people, and I find myself over in the book of Daniel and to my utter amazement, what Daniel said had something to do with revelations. It's almost like the Holy Ghost knew they went together. Almost. I told you, I'm not ready to preach that series yet. Brother Hagin said, don't ever preach anything out until you've lived it and experienced room to, especially if you got some new revelation. I'm about this close to preaching this new revelation. It seems like God knows everything. I know that's strong. I know, I know that's strong. But we're about that close to so, so, so what will we do today with this? Go to Hebrews three. Stay. Stay in the stay in the amplified, if you will. Let's talk about today. Verse 14. Hebrews 314 Christian in the Ampc for we have become fellow fellows with Christ the Messiah. If you're a female, you can be a fellow. I don't know with Messiah and share in half of what he has for us.

 

Pastor West: [00:14:28] Oh. I'm sorry. Oh, no. That'd be too good. It can't be that. If only. If only, if only we had our first newborn confidence in original, assured expectation. In virtue of which we are believers, firm and unshaken to the end. Could that be true? Now watch here. Then, while it's still called today. Is it today? Okay. If you would hear his voice. And when you hear it, do not harden your hearts. As in the rebellion in the desert, when the people provoked and irritated and embittered God against them. So we know he's talking about Israel coming out of Egypt, right? Children of Israel in the wilderness. So he's using them as an example to teach you today because he doesn't want you to do what they do. He doesn't want you getting their results. He wants you to get in the results. Amen. Now, the Word of God is what? Quick! It's alive. It's powerful. So I'm glad that you're here this morning. I'm glad the angels are here. And I'm glad the demons are here. I want the demons to come. Let me explain that. When you say stuff like that, you better explain it. Because he's like, I was in the ministry 30 years, and all of a sudden I was looking for a job. The preacher wants demons. I don't want them, but I expect them. Why do you expect them? Because we're going to read just a moment.

 

Pastor West: [00:16:02] When the word is. When the word is preached, Satan comes immediately, right? He didn't say, when you get home, he'd do that too. He didn't say, in the car, yo, y'all ain't got to raise your hand. But no one here has ever done this. But I'm going to tell you what my wife and I did a few times. I'm going to go ahead and confess. I mean, you're actually going to church, right? Or even leaving church and actually get into a fuss and fight with your spouse. I know that's hard to believe, but I'm going to tell you that happened to us at least twice. It'd be a good word. People that you are, you know, you just, you know, you like. I mean, on the way to the car, you say, you tell her, you let me tell you this. Let me tell you this woman, let me tell you this. And she says, I'll tell you one thing you ever did. Then you pull up the parking lot and get out there and people say, praise the Lord. Bless you. Bless coming in, bless going out. It's good to be here. Bless his holy name. Raise your hand. Do the woo woo woo. And you know whatever. Get back in the car and you pick back up. You wouldn't. I tell you this, tell you this. Satan comes immediately to steal the word. So if you don't have any demon problems in your church, that's because you you're not anything.

 

Pastor West: [00:17:13] You're you're not. There's no reflection of the word going on in that church. It's called entertainment. Yeah. If you want entertainment, go somewhere else. You might come here and get entertained. But we are not entertainers. I'm not a professional speaker. That's obvious. I'm not a great orator. That's. But I have confidence in him because I have confidence in this word. You can't separate God from faith. You can't separate God from love, and you can't separate God from His word. Right. And the disciples said we were there with him. We broke bread with him. We ate fish with him. We know if he sleeps on his left side or his right side, we tell you how he likes his fish, fried or boiled. But we decided not to know him or anyone else after the flesh because they become a new creation in Christ Jesus. That's the problem. Even amongst believers. They know people after the flesh. Yeah, well, she's just like this and you don't know. Well, see, you have no right to be the judge. You're not their judge. You're not their God. You're not their creator. You have no idea. You are making assumptions based on what you see on the outside. And you have no right to judge a person's heart because you don't know their heart. Amen. Maybe your assumption is true, but you still don't have that right to make that assumption. Amen. The Scripture says God looks on the inside and man looks at the outward appearance.

 

Pastor West: [00:18:44] You know, it'd be a pretty sad thing. It'd be a pretty sad thing to be speaking about a person. That's right. Putting them down. It's called gospel. And actually in the church they call sharing a prayer request. It'd be bad to be dogging someone when they're not in the room, and they're in their prayer closet, crying out to God to forgive them. And you don't even know they're crying out to God to forgive them while you're a dog and then putting them down. Yes. It grieves the Holy Spirit. It grieves the spirit of goodness. It grieves the spirit of grace. The Bible says, those of you who are strong in faith don't lord it over them. But if you're strong in faith, he says, help those who are weak to their advantage. Not just your advantage, but but to their advantage. Yes, he says so. In other words, he said the the strong should be helping the weak. Well, you just get that just in just in understanding redemption, don't you, to be redeemed. Right? Amen. Jesus came to to redeem us. Jesus came to redeem you, purchase you back at the value of what you're worth, which took Joe Marsala said it this way. I laughed when I heard him say it 20 years ago. He said, I don't know if God has these things, he said, but if God has these things he said. He said he could have sent his first cousin, his nephew, his bird dog to redeem you.

 

Pastor West: [00:20:24] I don't know the saying, but he didn't say the Son of Man. Aren't you glad God didn't send his best bird dog to redeem you? Yes, sir. We've been redeemed by God's blue tick hound. We've been here barking her head off. No. He redeemed us by the blood of the lamb and by the words of our testimony. See the blood of Jesus. It cleanses. It pacifies it. It brings peace. It satisfies. Amen. Amen. Glory. Then when you have that in you, Romans five says, now you have peace. Rule in your heart. And then now because of that, because you're born of him, you're born again. It says, then, then you have now been given access. Amen. See, you don't need to pray and get everything here. You know people are like I'm trying to believe God and get this here. Now you don't have to do that. You've been given the name. And because of the new birth and who you are in Christ, you've been given access. You can access everything that the father has. Amen, Amen. Glory. Access. That'll be the key. Right. I mean if you have a credit card or a debit card, if you have a credit card and you take it you're not actually giving the merchant money are you. But that card which shows no money, uses. Well, you now either read it or you swipe it.

 

Pastor West: [00:21:51] How are you going to do it? What does that do? It accesses because you have a amount of perhaps a limited amount of resources that you could access with that card specified to you your Social Security number, to the predetermined amount of limit that you can spend. You don't have to carry the cash on you. You just need the car to access. Amen. But because of who you are, you access. But what is your limit? Amen. I need scripture if you're going to put a limit on it. See faith in God and faith in the word and faith in his promises has the ability to access according to the word, not me. Access all. Amen. See, all things are possible to him that believeth. There's. It says in two different ways. It says all things are possible to God. How many believe that? See, everyone believes that all things are possible. God, the devil believes that, knows that when you've been kicked out of your house, you believe it. And the devil was kicked out. And they didn't give him 30 days. You said, well, here they you know, they have to give you 30 days. He didn't give him 30 minutes. He dropped kicked that sucker off the earth. I mean, all them. And he still says, and the devil says, still thinks he's going to exalt his throne above. Well, you got drop kicked, baby, and you're going to exalt what? So we're not really dealing with someone with a lot of mental ability.

 

Pastor West: [00:23:23] Kind of like some presidents we might have had. Have. Yeah. Well, so you access, because you've been given the gift of righteousness, which makes you right with God. It's just it's an old English legalistic term that just simply just means this. Once you become born again, once you ask Jesus to come into your heart, no matter what your past has been like. I mean, up to the day that you got out of the car to come in this building, you could have been doing weed and shooting up and down and all around and. Okay, I hope not, but I'm just trying to paint it like the worst it could be. But if in your heart, in your heart, in your heart, you called upon Jesus. Amen. Who never knew sin? And as Michele said a while ago, because I used to say it this way, he come to die for our sins. And that's about a half truth. He didn't come to die for your sins. He came to die as your sin. Yes. Amen. And then in that, your sins got forgiven. But he died as your sin. He had to trade places with you. And he was ultimate holy, ultimate righteous, ultimate blameless. And he had to become guilty of everything. So Jesus had to be guilty of murder, being a murderer, a liar, a gossiper, a thief. He, Jesus, had to become guilty of being a homosexual, a lesbian.

 

Pastor West: [00:25:11] All the variations of all that, all the spin offs. He became guilty of all that. Why? Because in the old covenant. In the old Covenant, you had the Ten Commandments, right? For the Jews. But then you had over 613 ceremonial laws and some of them and most, most people who will argue with you about, you know, you need to keep the law. I never met one who could name all of them. That makes such a big deal. Oh, no, no, you got to keep the Ten Commandments. I said go ahead and name them off. Go ahead. Because this is important. Ready? Ready. Go. And then I always get 3 or 4. Oh, you ain't poor steel. That's right. Amen. You ain't supposed to kill. Amen. They ain't supposed to bear false witness about something. And I'm supposed to leave this other man's life wife alone most of the time. And that's about all they know. Well, if it's all depended on your your total salvation, shouldn't you know all ten? Yeah. Is the ten right? Yes. Are they. Are they holy? Yes. Because of the very nature of God. What? The only purpose they were given. They were to come for a period of time. Jesus was. The Bible says the law was given to man as a schoolmaster, a teacher, until the truth would get here. Amen. Amen. And when the truth got here, which is named Jesus.

 

Congregation: [00:26:33] Amen. Amen.

 

Pastor West: [00:26:34] The Bible says Moses by an angel was handed the Ten Commandments on two stones. Right? Yes, sir. Through an angel as a mediator given to Moses to give to the people. Scriptures saying, all the while they knew that man couldn't even keep him. That's supposed to be the one clue. I can't do this because you ever. You ever done wrong. I mean, no one. Don't raise your hand. But I'll tell you, I did. This happen to me twice. I know, maybe three times where I told the Lord I'll never do that again. I think that happened to me two times this morning. Oh, well, then you found yourself doing the very thing you were never going to do again. You know why? Well, there's the flesh. Who wants to be in control? The the flesh wants to use flesh tools to fix a flesh problem. There you go. Ain't never going to happen. No, he ain't never going to happen. When you when you when you reach into two box and get flesh tools to fix a flesh problem, you just made the mess even bigger. The Bible says what caused men to sin? I mean, I'm talking about the Bible now, I don't mind. The Bible says that the reason man sinned so much is because the law was given. You go in that nursery right now with those kids. Even you tell my granddaughter who's in there strong, we'll love that kid with all my heart. But you tell, you tell Ella now, Ella, behind this over here.

 

Pastor West: [00:28:03] We're going to have this little curtain. They some new toys, but you you can't play with them. Don't even look behind to see what they are. Grace will tell you what Ella's going to do, right? What's she going to do? She can go check them out. As soon as Grace her teacher, turns her back. She's going to run back here and see what it is. Why? Because she just told him. Don't do it. So the Scripture says that the strength of sin was given. Came because of man trying to keep the law. Man sinned, and in his effort to keep the holiness of God through his ability. Right now, if I explain it that way, you have to think that's kind of dumb, isn't it? Well, that's what most of the church is doing, where we're going to try to be holy enough. So you go into churches that are kind of old covenant, new covenant, and they mix them all together all the time. So they have all these meetings. Tonight's going to be double portion. Double portion of what? Double portion of what? Double Jesus. Double. Holy ghost. I mean, I know you can go get some Doublemint gum. That's all right. You can get that. But how are you going to double all of his fullness you ever see? No. We're going to double the fullness. We're going to pray the glory down. We're going to sing enough songs that God's going to pay attention.

 

Pastor West: [00:29:22] He's going to come down and fill the house full of glory. All that may happen, but see, our praise worship probably is not going to be that much is going to, you know, he you know, he's in heaven. And I think he has pretty good worship. I don't think him coming to Jamison was going to say, do y'all hear that? My goodness. So man is trying in his effort to connive and do everything he can to get God to show up, and they're trying to get their prayers to go above the ceiling. But it doesn't need to go above the ceiling because he's not up there. He's actually in here. Amen. So you don't need your prayers to go to the ceiling when he lives in your belly. When you want to talk to God, just say hello there. Good morning. How are you? And some of us? Our bellies are extended more. He's actually closer. Men usually start right here, even when they get older, you know. Whatever. Anyway, I'll get off that. So greater is he that's in you. So he's giving you an illustration in Hebrews chapter three. I've not gotten to one of my notes yet. Not one of them. My time's almost gone. Hebrews chapter. Are y'all doing okay? Okay. Now verse 15. Then, while still today, if you will hear his voice when you hear it, do not harden your hearts. That's I could I could stay there for weeks.

 

Pastor West: [00:30:51] Don't harden your hearts as in the rebellion. So he calls what Israel did rebellion in the desert when the people provoked and irritated, embittered God against him. For who were for who were they who heard and yet were rebellious and provoked him? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? Now watch here. And with whom was he irritated and provoked and grieved for 40 years? Was it not those who sinned, who dismembered bodies were strewn and left in the desert? And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who disobeyed, who had not listened to his? Word? Who refused to be compliant or persuaded? Now, here's what I want you to see. I'm using the amplified because of how it's going to say this last verse. So we see they were not able to enter into his rest because of their unwillingness to adhere, to trust and rely on God. Unbelief had shut them out. Unbelief will will shut you out. Yeah, but you know, the Bible says, if two shall agree, it won't work. Now, what we called upon the Lord won't work. Now, see, unbelief is not just like, well, you shouldn't have that. The Scripture calls unbelief evil. It's rebellion to God, unbelief. James says, you know, don't put yourself in a situation of unbelief. He said, Because when you do this, he says, what you're doing is you're you're you're hesitant between two opinions.

 

Pastor West: [00:32:37] You're halted between two opinions. I should do this. I shouldn't do this. I should go here. I shouldn't go here. So unbelief will always cause hesitation. Hesitation. There's things that I've done in the ministry sometimes that when I went back and I saw what I did, I was thinking that was nuts. I can't even believe I did that, and it actually worked. But I would never teach anyone else to do it that way. I mean, it's like, I can't even believe I did that. And if I'd had time to think about it. I would have talked myself out of it because I would have reasoned everything and see, reason won't hurt you. Reason will kill you. Because Romans eight says the carnal mind is enmity. It doesn't mean an enemy, right? Enmity. It means it opposes. It opposes the carnal natural mind which comes through your five senses. How many y'all got? Five senses. They're there to serve you. But for most people, they're not serving. They are the master. So the carnal mind, the five senses of where all your information has come from, naturally has come through the five senses. You've touched things. And it was hot. You learned. Don't touch that again. Don't we don't touch a hot grill or hot stove. Why? It hurts. Smell tells you things. You pick up milk, you get ready to drink it and you smell a bad smell. Sour.

 

Pastor West: [00:34:10] You look at the date in your nose saved you. If you don't, if the smell smell is not working and you drink it anyway, your stomach will work. Which your snow which your nose couldn't pick up on your stomach will go ahead and diagnose it. And then you'll, you'll you'll go find the porcelain receptacle. Get on your knees and you'll bring it up because you see, your stomach will work. But they are not your master. Your senses have to be trained to what? So this is not a baby sermon. This is not for babies. And this is ain't for running around. This is to stop and think The higher you go in the things of God, you're going to attract things that you don't want to attract because you're going to go higher. And if you're not rooted man, they'll take you out. Amen. Amen. The root system of a tree has to be in the ground deeper than what it is high. And if you fail to put in a root system and you don't want to take the time to become a student of this word. A student. So it is a process. It is a process now. Go to Romans chapter 12. I got a, I got to make up some ground. Romans chapter 12. I'm just now starting the service but I won't keep. I mean, this is where I thought I was going to start. I really thought, this is where I was starting.

 

Pastor West: [00:35:45] Romans chapter 12. I'm reading from the King James Bible, as you say right now. Paul said in verse one, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice. Can I dissect that just a little bit? How many know that we are a three part being spirit, soul and body. You'll see it really good in this verse right here. I beseech you, or I appeal to you, brethren or sisters, by the mercies of God, that ye or you present your body. Now I want you to see this. You're a three part being. You have a body that's easy to understand, right? You have a soul, which is your mind, your will and your emotions. But the real you is a spirit being, right? When you're through on the earth, either, however that happens, then you will exit your body. The real you will exit your body and you're headed 1 or 2 ways. You say, well, I'm looking at several different options. Well, you can look all you want to. It's north, it's south. This north or south? This north, this south. You're not going east or west. They might take your body east or west. They might scatter you on four oceans. But the real you is going to go see your real daddy already. Well, whoever he is, you fix to meet your real daddy when you get there. North, south, east or west is not so you.

 

Pastor West: [00:37:06] So he said, look here, he says, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you, the real you, the real you. Can you see that? I'm trying to make a point here. The real you. You present your body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your, the real you, your reasonable service. Next verse. Do not be conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. I wish sometimes it said renew removing. I've seen some Christians and I've pastored through the years. I thought if we could just remove their mind for a while, just, I mean just I know we can't do it, but if you could just cut their head off. I mean, we fix most of their problems, but by renewing your mind that you may prove that word prove means to make manifest. Yes. That's right. Do a word study and you'll say he said. In other words, if you won't be conformed to this world, in other words, if you won't think like this world, if you won't act like the world acts, if you won't adapt the world system into your life because you're a new creature in Christ Jesus in Christ, and His word is how you live. The just shall live by what he didn't say. The judge shall have an experience. The just shall live by faith. Now watch it. Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed.

 

Pastor West: [00:38:29] What's transformed me Changed like what? A caterpillar becomes a what a butterfly. And we. And we. That word is called. What? Metamorphosis or metamorphosis? Metamorphosis. What was what we call it? But it is a transformation. So everyone in here this morning, you are metamorphosing. Oh, we got a program that that takes everything that I preach, bless his heart and try to put it into a PDF file and like, see what's going to do with that word. I said, it has to take this, then it has to add redneck on top of it. Okay. So he so Paul says, hey, don't be conformed. That means poured into a mold. Some of you you know, you're not maybe as old as me, but you're close. How many of you remember ice trays? How many? You grew up with ice trays. You know, whether they were aluminum or whatever they were or the plastic ones. And they're all supposed to be the same size. So if you pour the exact amount of water in each one and they freeze and you break them open, the ice all looks the same, don't it? I mean, you say no one. One might look like a star. No, it won't, unless you got a star. Ice tray. Right. So it's going to be poured into a mold. Yes, sir. So something in your life is pouring you into some kind of mold. Everyone in here, you got some kind of mold. It's trying to melt you down.

 

Pastor West: [00:40:01] What it's trying to do. Oh, man. And since you are going to be poured into some kind of mold, why don't you just go ahead and choose the mold you're going to get poured into? Because you're going to you're going to be poured into a mold. Amen. Amen. Well how do I know that. He says don't be conformed to this world. Don't be poured into the world's mold. So the Bible said we are molded in the image of God. So whether you're going to be there's no question about are you going to be poured into a mold? Mole? You just get to choose which 1 a.m. I going to look like when they break the tray? Lord, man. The Bible says, put off the old man, put on the new man, which is renewed in the image and the likeness of God. Amen. Amen. Get poured into that mold, which means you have to start thinking different. That's right. Which means you don't change your speech. Yeah. Ooh. And all your friends may not be your friends no more. I know they're not. I know they're not going to understand you. Hallelujah! That's right. Because a man with a natural mind, a natural mind cannot understand or discern the real man. He can't do it. King of kings. Romans eight says, you cannot please God in the flesh. You can't please God in the natural mind. You can't do it. It's impossible. Amen.

 

Pastor West: [00:41:17] That's right. Amen. Now, unless you're going to be a basement Christian. Some people get elected to president. President? Right out of the basement, right? But that's okay. They're just biding their time. Yeah. That's it. Let me move right along. So what's happening? We're being we're being pulled in, poured into a mold. He said, but he said, but be transformed like the into this butterfly, into the who you really are in Christ. So that's a process. Was it a process for Christ. Yes. Yeah. The Bible says that he had to grow in wisdom and stature. God in the flesh. Jesus came and had to strip himself of everything that was God. Yet he was the Son of God. But he was born as man to represent the Son of Man, and he had to do exactly what you had to do by the Holy Ghost in him until he found out who he was in the Scripture. He found out who he was from the Scripture. Oh, Hallelujah! I've already covered this. I can't go, I can't go back. Every service. Jesus found out who he was from the scripture. Can you imagine the day he found out who he actually was? The son of the living God who came to as a sacrifice for all the world. Amen. Thank you. Thank you. There'll be something extra in your check. That you may want. That you may want make manifest. What is that good and acceptable and. Boop boop boop boop boop boop boop.

 

Pastor West: [00:43:12] Perfect will of God. Now, I used to teach this one, which I used to teach this wrong, which I believe was wrong. When I say that, I always say this is my opinion. Now this is the gospel that people preach. Like there's three wheels here the good, acceptable and perfect will of God. I don't think God has three wheels. I think he has one. And it's just simply saying this the will of God is good, it's acceptable, and it's perfect. It's not good or acceptable or perfect. Pick one. It's just everything about the will of God is good. It's perfectly acceptable. But this thing has to be made manifest. Now let's get into the actual the meat of this. And here it is. Go to Mark chapter four for Running Out of Time. Are y'all doing okay? Man, I don't want to go. I don't want to get past that. You're not here anymore. I don't want to get past you not hearing. Are y'all ready? All right, Mark, chapter four. Now get this, get this. Be a student right here. I sit under hundreds of hours, 1992 to 94, five days a week, two years. Several teachers. Brother Hagan was my teacher three times a week. That was good. Especially we would go down in rabbit trails. He started in the scripture over here and he goes down this rabbit trail. Boy, you learn as much on the rabbit trail as you would from the Scripture, and you would have thought he forgot where he was.

 

Pastor West: [00:44:40] Everyone forgot where he was, but he didn't forget where he was at. And he goes right back to the Scripture. And so this is this is what you have to understand. And I know we have an understanding of this parable, but this is a parable that Jesus taught. And he was helping people. Now, I want to help you this morning, and if you say, I already know all this, then I can't help you, because I know I don't know all of it. Yeah. That's good. Thank you. Now this is we're going to do some delicate surgery here this morning. Just delicate. Simple but delicate. So I want you just to listen, okay? Sometimes when you're praying for people, they're trying to pray with you. And I ask them. I said, please don't pray while I pray. They say, what's wrong with that? Nothing's wrong with it. But it's time for you to receive. Amen. You just sit there and don't follow me on the camera. Well, I got that camera. He follows me anyway. 

 

Editor's Note: [00:45:44] ~Ministering to a member of the congregation~

 

Pastor West: [00:45:44] I bless you in the name of Jesus. From the top of your head to the soles of your feet. In the name of Jesus. There it is. There it is. See, it's just real simple. There it is. It goes now. It goes now. Because it's not of God. And you're of God. You're his daughter **speaking in tongues **. Do you know someone named Melinda? Either one of you know someone named Melinda? Okay, that's all right. So from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. When I saw the two of you come in, can I tell you what I heard? He said freedom. Oh my God. Freedom. Freedom in Jesus name. I decree freedom into your life in Jesus name. That which has bound you, that which has harassed you, is satanic. And today it's over. It's over. It's broken in Jesus name. By the authority. In the name of Jesus. You are ma'am. You are free in Jesus name. Thank you. Thank you father. Do you sense that you don't have to sense it? But you do, don't you? I do. That's it. Let it go. **speaking in tongues** There it is. In Jesus name. Thank you, Jesus. It says if you can't even rest, you can't sleep. It's the harassment in your mind. Yes, yes. That you don't even know if you're going to see the morning. Yes, sir. And sometimes you just wanted just to go and not have to deal with it no more. But no, with long life, he's going to satisfy you and you're going to have all your joy back, starting right now. Today. The joy of the Lord has become your strength. And you're going to have a new song to sing.

 

Pastor West: [00:47:45] What's your name, ma'am?

 

Congregation: [00:47:47] My name is Renee.

 

Pastor West: [00:47:49] Renee. Happy Renee. Happy, Joyful, Renee. Jesus.

 

Congregation: [00:47:57] Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord.

 

Pastor West: [00:47:59] **speaking in tongues**

 

Pastor West: [00:48:09] The Lord Jesus, look to me now. Trust in me. Don't, don't lean into your understanding now. Now see, the door got opened by wrong thoughts. I don't mean evil thoughts, but. Well, can I just be okay? You took the care and you wasn't supposed to take the care. You're supposed to cast the care and leave it there. And because you took the care, it opened the door for the enemy to work in that situation. But then it came to you because the door was open. But today we shut the door.

 

Congregation: [00:48:46] Amen. Amen.

 

Pastor West: [00:48:48] And it shall be no more.

 

Congregation: [00:48:49] Amen. Thank you. Amen.

 

Pastor West: [00:48:51] Bless y'all. It's going to get better and better. It's going to get better and better. It's going to get better and better.

 

Congregation: [00:48:59] Praise God. Hallelujah. 

 

Editor's Note: [00:49:01] ~Speaking to the congregation corporately again~

 

Pastor West: [00:49:01] All right. Let me get to this first verse real quick of my message. Now watch here. Please get this. Mark 4: 14 through 20. The sower soweth. What? I'm go. I'm going to go slow. I don't have much time, but I'm going to go slow. The sower. So with the word and these, are they by the wayside where the word is sown. Now what is what now? What is the word now don't turn there. And I know you know this. I know you trained, I know you, I know you know this well. But I want you to hear this. If we went to Luke eight, chapter 11, it would tell you this. It says the parable is this Jesus said. He said, the seed is the word of God. Okay. The seed is the Word of God. Now, now go back to Mark chapter four.

 

Pastor West: [00:50:00] The sower soweth the word, the sower. So with the seed. So Jesus is given a principle, a kingdom principle. But he prefaced it with saying this. He said, if you he said, if you guys don't get this, you'll never know how the kingdom ever operates. You have good days and bad days and hard days and trying days, he said. But you'll never get it unless you get this. This is how the kingdom operates. The kingdom operates because the sower sows the word, which is seed. The agricultural thing is, what does sowers do? They. So what? See, people say, well, you don't ever know what God will do. You don't. I mean, you may pray for this and get that. So I like chapters when you talk. I like verses when you talk. Don't don't just spout something off because of your experience. If you can't back it up with a word, shut up man. I mean, you got no right to say that. Well, I mean, let me ask you this. If you go to the co-op and you're going to plant flowers or vegetables, right? Fruits and vegetables and you pick out what you want, you say, well, I'm going to plant these carrots, but you never know, I might get pineapple. Do you believe that? Do you believe that? You see, I mean, could I, could I if I spend all day with you, can I get you to believe that if I know she. Do you do you believe? Carol, if we plant cucumbers, we could get apples because you don't ever know what God's going to do.

 

Pastor West: [00:51:22] I mean, you never know. You never know. Now, Dennis, I want some good ripe tomatoes, but it could just be sweetcorn. Do you believe that? See, I can't. I got a bunch of unbelievers in here this morning. Do you believe, then, that if you plant corn, you'll get corn? Yeah. Do you believe? Do you believe if you plant cucumbers, we're going to get cucumbers. Trey, do you believe we plant okra? We're going to get peanuts. He don't. Do you think I can get every sinner in the world to agree with what I'm just saying? If they got any kind of natural sense that whatever you plant, if you get a harvest, it's going to be what you planted, right? I just preach the gospel to you in two minutes. Yes. Whatever you plan. Amen. You know what? God planted. God called Christ the seed. And the scripture said if they would know what they were doing, they would never have crucified him. You want to know why? You want to know why not? Because it hurt. They wanted to hurt him. But why wouldn't the devil ever wanted him planted? Well, the word Christ is of two words. Christ which means the Anointed one and his anointed. So if you, if you, if you plant the Anointed One, if that's a seed, what would be the harvest of the anointing? More anointing. More. If he's truth, he's the way, the truth and the life. And you plant the way, the truth, the life. What do you get more of? Way? Truth and life?

 

Congregation: [00:52:59] Yeah.

 

Pastor West: [00:53:00] So the the worst thing they could have done is plant him. Because the scripture tells you when they planted him, he was he was as a seed. He went into the ground to die for you and I. But when he came up, he had a bunch of geniuses. And they couldn't even handle the one. What are they going to do with all of us?

 

Congregation: [00:53:24] Yeah. Yeah.

 

Congregation: [00:53:25] Amen. Glory.

 

Pastor West: [00:53:27] Now, you don't ever have to fear of dying because you've already died. Yes, sir. Amen. You died with Christ. Amen. We ain't got to do a redo. You say? Well, you say I'm going to live forever. Well, yeah, I've seen you going to live forever somewhere. But even when you leave this planet, you'll never know it. No. Your body will lay down due to do whatever it's going to do. These are too many rabbit trails that I could sit there with a scripture and show you exactly what I'm talking about. He who has accepted the son has been passed over from the old man to the new man. Passed over means taken out of and passed over. When death comes at the end of your days, comes to you before death can get its hold on you. And death is only here because of sin from Adam, right? But even when it comes to the believer, when death comes to stop the body, God will reach in and get the new man and pick him up, pass him over to death and take him into glory. Amen. And death will never touch you.

 

Congregation: [00:54:29] Hallelujah.

 

Pastor West: [00:54:31] You'll be in heaven. You might be playing golf. And if you had a heart attack in the swing. And you leave here when you get to heaven, you're probably going.

 

Congregation: [00:54:43] Amen.

 

Pastor West: [00:54:43] What is this? It's called glory.

 

Congregation: [00:54:46] Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

 

Pastor West: [00:54:47] Now the word. The sower soweth. What? The word. Real quickly. Verse 16. And these are likewise which are sown on what stony ground, who, when they have heard the word. The seed, immediately they receive it with gladness. Now you're going to find yourself somewhere in these next few verses everyone's going to find themselves. Pastors meet a lot of people in verse 17, but they had no root in themselves. So they endure for a time. But afterward, I'll be on the scripture. Yeah. We're on. There you go. Afterwards, somebody say afterwards. When? What? Look that word up at their affliction. You know what it means.

 

Pastor West: [00:55:37] Pressure. Pressure.

 

Pastor West: [00:55:40] If you don't know what pressure is, I'll explain it to you after service. You ever had pressure come against your life?

 

Pastor West: [00:55:45] Okay. Watch you. They. They hear the word. They get excited, but they don't have any root system. They haven't taken time to know who they are. They haven't taken time to read the Scripture. They haven't. They haven't taken time to meditate on it. Before you cook a steak, sometimes you put it in seasonings, right? Yes, sir. You'll soak it. You want the meat to absorb because you want the flavor in there. It's not just reading the word. It's eating it. It's soaking in it. It's called meditation. Meditation means ponder. Think about muse. It's not reading chapters. I don't like these. I mean, I shouldn't say that. I don't, I don't me personally. Okay. I don't particularly have a system to read the Bible in a year. I've had the Lord keep me in two chapters for years, he said. I said, well, I'm going to have some more chapters. He said, when you when actually you get what I'm trying to show you the last two years. And in these two, in these two chapters, I want you. So they have no reading themselves, but they endure. They hear this message, they endure for a time afterwards when pressure persecution trials arises. For what? For what? What's the word? Seed persecution and pressure comes because of the seed that's being broadcast. Because the seed is the word of God. You can't change the word of God. The Word of God is settled. Your Bible, if you keep it or say things 500 years from now, say same thing. So Satan comes with pressure after he hears the word to your life. He's coming with pressure, persecution, testing, trials. It comes. It comes for the word's sake, and it comes when when you get to the house. Amelie. That's why the devils come to church.

 

Congregation: [00:57:47] Come on. That's right.

 

Pastor West: [00:57:50] Because they're coming while you're sitting in your chair. They said, we can't. We can't take no chances or no root system going on here. Not the least little bit of roots. So why is it being preached? He has you thinking like, how come he ain't wearing a suit today? Oh, why don't you come up here on the other side? You're being rerouted the whole time. You're wondering why. About me?

 

Congregation: [00:58:14] That's right. No.

 

Pastor West: [00:58:18] I had a woman years ago. Years ago? My first two years of ministry. I was 35 years old. I'm learning everything. And she wrote me this long letter. Really nice, wonderful woman in heaven. Now she says, you know, she said, I'm having a hard time paying attention to anything you're teaching. And she said, the reason is, she says, you know, if you wear a suit, you're supposed to wear lace up shoes. If you're going to wear a sport coat, you can wear slip ons, but you're not supposed to wear a slip on dress shoes if you got on a suit. Only if you're wearing slacks and a sport coat. Can you wear slip on shoes? I didn't have the maturity then to be. I said more than thank you. I would never do that now. And I held her hand as she passed. It means nothing to me. It means nothing to her. How much do you think she got out of that service? Studying my shoes?

 

Speaker5: [00:59:22] Yeah. That's crazy.

 

Pastor West: [00:59:27] That's what?

 

Congregation: [00:59:28] Crazy.

 

Pastor West: [00:59:28] Thank you. That's crazy. That's crazy. So she got nothing out of the message. Jesus. Then I had another lady. She didn't. She didn't write me a letter. She just asked me. She said. She said. Can I ask you a question? I said, yeah, what is it? She said, have you been listening to watching Brother Hagan a lot lately? I said, I don't know, I don't think so. She said, well, I think you have. I said, why is that? She said, because, you know, when you when you listen to someone or watch something for a long time, you'll take on some of their mannerisms. She said, you're walking like Brother Hagan. She said, I've been studying at the whole service. Well, maybe I should walk like a penguin. I mean, what's it going to take for you to be able to hear God? Walking like Brother Hagan. Wear the wrong shoes. I want to be a pastor. Are you sure? Are you really sure? All right, watch your. So it comes immediately, for the word's sake. Now watch here and these which are sown. In other words, these verse 18, and these which are the were the seed is sown among thorns, such as hear the word, or hear, or the hear the seed, because the sower sowing the seed. Now watch verse 19. I'm almost through. And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things entering in choke the seed. Now you understand that naturally, right? If you don't weed out your garden, the weeds can get it right. That's all Jesus is trying to tell you. He said, in other words, I'm sowing the answer. But if you're not going to weed your own garden, you're not going to have anything to harvest. If you let the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches and the. And the lust which means strong desire of other things, it takes precedence over the seed. He said, you're going to have no harvest, no harvest. Notice they were happy for a season when they first heard. They were like, yes!

 

Pastor West: [01:01:36] But there's no roots in, "yes!"

 

Pastor West: [01:01:38] So what we got is a cheerleader.

 

Congregation: [01:01:41] Come on.

 

Pastor West: [01:01:42] I won't do all that. But if I give you a visual, I can't take it back.

 

Pastor West: [01:01:50] I can pretend like I didn't say it, and we'll argue about it. But once you see it, once you come out on the debate stage, we know them. Go, go. Now watch here. These are what you're sewing on. What? No, no. Verse 20. Say. Say this is me.

 

Congregation: [01:02:06] This is me.

 

Pastor West: [01:02:07] Is it? Verse 20 is you okay? Renee. Verse 20 is you. And your name, ma'am?

 

Congregation: [01:02:20] Carolyn.

 

Pastor West: [01:02:21] Carolyn and Renee. I love those names. Y'all good friends? Yes, I can tell that's a blessing too, isn't it?

 

Congregation: [01:02:30] We're sisters.

 

Pastor West: [01:02:31] Your sisters. Praise God. Amen. That's another story in itself. But that's good. I love that. Watch here. Verse 20. And these which are sown. Now what sound? The seed. The word. The seed. Right. Okay. This is you. These are which are sown on good ground. They hear the word, they receive it and they bring forth fruit. Some 30, some six, some some 100 fold. Now listen to this. The Word of God is seed. You agree that seed contains the very life of God. Take, take, take it over into the natural realm. If you break open the peach, what's in the center of it? A seed That seed planted will reproduce itself. Tomatoes have seed. Apple have seed. Why do they have it? Because God said in Genesis chapter one that he was going to give man fruit to eat. He said, and it would contain the very life to reproduce after its own kind, which is why you can't plant plant potatoes and get crackerjack. You can't do it. Can't do it. You can't, you can't. You can't plant okra and get mangoes. Can't do it. Why? Because it is a spiritual law. It doesn't matter if you're Catholic, Baptist, atheist, whatever. The atheist farmer believes that the seed, if you put into the ground, will produce a harvest. And God gave him the him, the seed, the ground, the tractor and everything. And he says he don't believe in God. But we'll use all of God's materials and what God says to for to fulfill a spiritual law.

 

Congregation: [01:04:26] Amen. Amen.

 

Pastor West: [01:04:27] So if we don't get this, if we don't understand this. So know this. What you're supposed to see is this a man was sowing seed, the sower sow seed. And we see that he used the same seed to all people. But some were by the wayside, some they had thorns all in their life. And thistles, which means no harvest. Then he sold it to one, but it didn't have much depth of earth. But it began to spring and grow up. But it didn't hardly have any, you know, depth of earth. So when the sun came, it scorched it. Only one out of four people who heard the word had a harvest. And you get to decide which one you are.

 

Congregation: [01:05:11] Amen. Thank you. Jesus. That's good.

 

Pastor West: [01:05:14] Are you going to be good ground? The one who's good ground said they heard it and they received it. Which means they took it into their heart. The heart is in this parable, the ground. The ground doesn't determine the harvest. It works. It cooperates with the seed. The seed determines what it shall be. Every person here not to be whatever, but it's just what it is. Every person here is the byproduct of a seed of two people come together. Man the ground, the woman, the womb is necessary for the seed to be planted. For there to be any of us. But without the seed, there's nothing to talk about. So the harvest is not is not dependent completely upon the the ground. It's dependent upon the seed. The seed is the Word of God. Satan comes to steal the ground. Why is he so worried about seed that he has to come immediately? What's such a big deal about seed? He has to send demonic spirits immediately. I got so much here. But I ain't got time. Yeah, I don't. Watch you. Let me finish with this. I'm just listening. I just want to do. I'm just listening for a moment. When you're born again by the Spirit of God. Old things pass away. All things become new. And the Bible says, when you're born again, God seals your spirit. You're sealed the real you.

 

Pastor West: [01:07:09] From the moment you got born again. Christ came in and he sealed you. Those of you who did canning and preserving or granny did that, you know, they used the jars and they put it in and they put the on the mason jars and put the lid on it and it would preserve it. Right. You could go get that jar three years later. And then when you do the lid, what's it supposed to sound like? Who did that? That's really good. You're a popper from way back. If it doesn't pop, should you use it? No, because somehow it wasn't sealed properly. So the devil has been trying to go. But he can't get you to pop because your spirit is seal. So who God really is in his completeness and fullness is in your spirit, sealed. So of his fullness you have received, it's in your spirit. You don't need answers out of heaven. You just need to go into your spirit and bring them out Because the very life of God is in your spirit. Your answer is within you. Can you see that? If Jesus paid for your answer, do we go to I mean, is Jesus going to be. Is Jesus going to go to the cross again? Is he going to die again? Is he going to go to hell for you again?

 

Congregation: [01:08:32] No, sir.

 

Pastor West: [01:08:33] So he thinks what he did. He's. He thinks. He thinks he's finished. He thinks he's through. So in the New Covenant, when you ask for these things, he's trying to point you back to what he already did and say. Now, just have faith in what I did, and you'll get your answer. Because if the answer is by his stripes, I'm healed. He's not taking any more stripes. He wants to let you know he took the stripes. Now put faith in what I did. Right. And then you'll get the answer.

 

Congregation: [01:09:01] Amen. Amen.

 

Pastor West: [01:09:03] Now I'm going to say something real simple, and we'll finish the service right here. And then I'm going to pray for anyone who needs prayer. Satan has no authority, and he has no ability to go into your garden, which is first Corinthians three. He can't go into your garden and get the seed out. He has no authority to do that because you've been seated by the Word of God and sealed. Have you got that?

 

Congregation: [01:09:28] Yes.

 

Pastor West: [01:09:30] Also says that you become the habitation of God. God doesn't live in a box in the Old covenant. He's not behind a curtain. The Bible says you are the very habitation of God. What does that mean? You are in. Your spirit is where God lives. You are God's address. You are God's house. You're a God house. We jokingly say you are a mobile throne. Wherever you go, God goes. All right, so since Satan can't come in and get the seed and we know he wants to come in immediately and everything's in your spirit seal, how does he get the seed out? Because he can't go in there. But how does he get it out? Well, he brings pressures. He brings affliction. He brings the cares of the world. He brings the lust of other, other things. He puts pressure on your senses so that you go back into the sensorium and say, it's not working. I don't think I'm going to make it. I'm scared out of my mind. He gets you into your total natural, carnal thinking. And by your words, because life and death is in the power of tongue. He can't go into your garden, so he sends you in after the seed. He has. You rob your own garden. Right?

 

Pastor West: [01:10:56] So we said this two weeks ago. Satan's choice of armor is this deception.

 

Speaker5: [01:11:06] Yes.

 

Pastor West: [01:11:08] See, it's not power. Although you think he's all powerful. His choice of weapon against you is deception. Because he already knows and the word tells you. Jesus said, all authority that's been given to me, I now give to you. You have authority over every demonic spirit in the world. Glory. So he knows. If you know that he can't come to you with power because he's outclassed. He knows that. So he doesn't use power as his weapon of choice. He uses deception.

 

Congregation: [01:11:38] That's right.

 

Pastor West: [01:11:39] He causes you to think on things that are not true. Amen. If I were to listen without going to that store, if I would have listened to what happened to me. And starting in 2018. I would have perished from this life in the month of June.

 

Pastor West: [01:11:59] Oh. No. No. I'm sorry. I would have perished in the month of October before the first week of November, because this man sold me a policy. That's right. Then I heard these words. Go check the policy. I saw when the policy was going to run out, and I thought, well, if I'm not here, I need my family taken care of. And because of the pressure that was coming to me mentally and physically was so overwhelming to me. Come on now. I could literally stand myself. Then at night it was so harassing. And when your blood pressure gets up like to 212 over 100 or something, you know it's not a good day when you feel your heartbeat in the back of your head laying on the pillow, and you're breaking out with hives everywhere and your nerves are hot as they can be, and your heart is racing and you're almost ready to beg for death. And you're fighting such spirits. But the spirits aren't telling you they're demons. You know what they told me? They came to me as light as if they were God is that. They were the Holy Spirit that came to me peacefully. Peacefully? For 30 days I lived in a deception of thinking. I was dealing with the Holy Spirit, trying to understand why you're telling me I'm going to leave.

 

Pastor West: [01:13:18] And at that time, 50 something years of age and the Holy Spirit knows he's dealing with something. The devil knows he's dealing with someone with some kind of word knowledge. But because I was under such duress, under such pressure, where everything in me hurts so bad, I couldn't stand it anymore. And then it got to my mind and the pressure was so great on my mind. He would say, you know, you don't have to deal with this. God understands. There's a there's a pistol in there. You. He'd understand. And I wrote my family a letter to tell him goodbye. I knew they'd find it. And the enemy just knows all these little details. He said you're going to go to this month. Gave me the date. That he takes these details around you. He said, because your insurance is going to be over here. And if you and if you don't leave by here, you won't you won't have anything really to leave your family. He said, I know it's hard for you to believe this. I know this, but I want you to understand that I'm coming real soon.

 

Congregation: [01:14:29] Yes, sir.

 

Pastor West: [01:14:30] Now, I think I'm talking to the Holy Spirit and I'm talking to a devil.

 

Congregation: [01:14:35] Yeah.

 

Pastor West: [01:14:35] I'm telling you on this side, I'm talking to a devil. But he's not coming at me like we are in a red suit. He's coming peacefully, and I never dealt with him that way. So he deceived me. And he said, when you get to. When you come to heaven, because he says, time is so short and there's so much being done before the family gets here. He said, I have need of you, he says, and you said that you would, you know, go where you go. Say what you say, do what you going to do. He said, I know it's hard for you to understand. Here's where it is, even in my weakened condition, because I had some word in me, because I had some seed in me, and the Holy Spirit is still my helper.

 

Congregation: [01:15:14] Amen.

 

Pastor West: [01:15:15] Watch here. This won't be nothing to a lot of you, but this is the tip off. For one month. I never told my wife none of this kind of stuff. I went into the other room so she could get rest while I was being tormented. Every day, every night. Then coming to church and trying to preach and saying, the Lord is good, his mercy endures forever. Then going back to the demon den, he said this. He said, when you get to heaven, I have a specific job for you. Then he named people that I knew, Billy Joe Doherty and different ones. He said, well, I mean, don't you think Billy Joe Darden knew the word? Well, yeah. Well, he's not there. He'll show you all the ones who ain't there, he said. So in other words, it's like if Billy Joe daughter. I mean, who do you think you are? You think I mean, Daisy was here. How you think she got here? Did she know some work? So he's using all these things. Then he said, you know when was going to come in June, but now he's going to come in October.

 

Pastor West: [01:16:16] And the reason for that is you didn't understand is because he'll be here to help do your your home going. I've never done anything like this before. So I'm trying to get over the fact that I'm actually at that point in my 50s going to going to leave here, but because of the of the duress that I was dealing with, there was times that it came. It would have been a welcome thing. That's why I understand what you're I that's I understand I do understand what I'm talking about. I didn't get out of no book. I live this man on the 30th day. On the 30th day, he said, when you get to heaven, he said, you'll understand why I couldn't hear you on the earth. And I said, I'm in bed. I said, say that again. He said, when you get to heaven. He said, you understand why you couldn't be healed on earth. I said, I'm and I said, couldn't be. He said, yeah, it couldn't be. And I said, well, now wait a minute. Whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

 

Pastor West: [01:17:22] So I became my own defense attorney. The one who's ready to pull the trigger is now fighting for himself. I said good. I said, but now the Scripture says this, this, this, this and this and and then I, then I heard this backing up like, yeah, well blah blah, blah, blah, blah. And I knew the Holy Ghost would have to like, well he don't make mistakes.

 

Congregation: [01:17:43] Yeah.

 

Pastor West: [01:17:45] And then I said oh my goodness. I said, you're not. This is not the Holy Spirit. You're you're an unholy spirit. This is not angels. This is demons. You masqueraded yourself as an angel of light. And I got out of that bed and I held on to something. And I was. Back then I was so dizzy. I mean, I mean, I was like, if I walked down the wall, I could hit the wall. I mean, he was driving the car and I was sitting in the car going, whoaaa.

 

Pastor West: [01:18:13] I stayed off the road so you wouldn't have to meet me. And the pain was just out of this world. So I began to speak the word and it came out of my belly. The word that I had put in, the word that had been sown. It was in me. And all of a sudden the word began to fight for me. And it was quick, and it was alive, and it was powerful, and it was sharper than the two edged sword. And I began to tell those demons who I was and who you aren't, and all of a sudden everything went away.

 

Congregation: [01:18:48] Hallelujah. 

 

Pastor West: [01:18:54] And I became free, and I became free.

 

Congregation: [01:18:58] Amen.

 

Pastor West: [01:19:00] It was amazing. I could still pray for people in those conditions and they get healed and be way worse than they were. Amen. I think, well, I got a little pain. I'm thinking I got my whole body is radiant with pain right now, but I lay hands on them. But I was glad to do it. I was looking for people who were sick and in pain so I could sew it.

 

Congregation: [01:19:19] Hallelujah.

 

Pastor West: [01:19:20] Because I went for years. Years. Never sick. Just never sick. I did get a hernia one time because I, you know, picked up stuff in my 30s because I didn't have time to do you know these I mean I just picked this lawnmower up and throw it over there. I did it, but I just meditated the word for three weeks and I wasn't sure if it's a hernia. So I went checked out. Yeah, that's a hernia. He said, you'll have to have a surgery. I said, well, I'm just going to take it easy. If I just take it easy. Won't it just kind of heal up? He said no, not a hernia. Don't heal up. You have to go in and do surgery. Put a little mesh while you take off for a few weeks. Nothing wrong with that. If I need that, I'd do it. I wouldn't feel bad about any of it. But he said, he said, you don't have to do that if you don't want to. I said, well, I really don't want to. I said, what do I do? He said, all you need to do is take the word, take these scriptures on healing and just just meditate them.

 

Pastor West: [01:20:14] See, this is where this is where Christians are failing all the time, mostly even in this church. So you believe what I'm saying? Because in the word. But the Bible says the Word of God is medicine. You believe what the medicine will do, but you don't take the medicine. You come to church thinking that's taking medicine. No, it's grazing the faith and the belief of what the medicine will do. But then you don't go home and take the medicine. He didn't say those who hear a sermon. Those who come to church. Those who bring their tithe. My son. Proverbs 420. My son attended my word. Incline your ear into my sayings, for my sayings, our life unto those who find them, and health which is medicine to all your flesh. Now can you sit there and tell me, do you? Do you know? Because I know, I don't know. But do you know how you plant a seed in the ground? No seed. No man's understood this. How you literally can put a seed in the dirt and it turns into a fruit.

 

Congregation: [01:21:17] Yes, sir.

 

Pastor West: [01:21:18] Amen. So, no. No one's ever done that. We can't really tell you how. When a man produces seed with a woman, we. We can give you an idea. They can. They can't really tell you how that seed turns into a human being. So he said, my son, my daughter, if you give attention, pay attention to my word and incline your ears to what I'm telling you, sir. He said it will be as medicine to all of your body and to your mind. So for three weeks, morning, afternoon and night, whenever I had time, I had about 12 to 15 scriptures and I just I just read them. I noticed this as I began to meditate. Upon pondering, I begin to have my own translation, not getting away from the translation, but I personalize personalized it.

 

Congregation: [01:22:13] Perfect. Yeah.

 

Pastor West: [01:22:14] And that's what meditation will do. All of a sudden, it'll take on your personality and you'll think himself took my infirmities. And he bore my sickness himself. Jesus. Jesus took. Now wait a minute. I read that verse after the second way and said, himself, Jesus, he, he bore. Then I would say, he bore He he he bore this hernia that it might be fulfilled which Isaiah spoke in 53 of by his stripes I would be healed. So you don't have to understand how the medicine works. You just have to take it. So I'm going to ask you this morning, do you ever come here and then go back and take your medicine? Or do you just say amen? Because if you're just saying amen, you're going to lose by default. See, if this don't become your word, you need you need to quit getting to the place to where you believe in healing and become healing. You didn't hear what I said. You you need to quit believing healing and become become that.

 

Congregation: [01:23:22] Amen.

 

Pastor West: [01:23:24] Surely he hath borne our sickness and carried our pains. He was smitten of God and afflicted. But he says, surely he bore your sickness, and he bore your pain. He was acquainted with grief. He knows what grief is. He let them strap him to a whipping post. All they could do was just say one word and the legions of angels was going to come. He let man strip him to a post, and they used the Cat of nine tails, which had all kind of metals and glass and nails and everything, and they ripped his flesh out from his ribs. Chunks of flesh came out. Passion of the Christ. About as close as we think we can get to it, but not quite. When they laid the last stripe and the Passion of Christ got this right when they laid the last stripe on him and he was down for the count with all his strength, he got back up and he says, that's not enough yet. And they whipped him even more. So when you say, Lord, would you heal me? See, he thinks he already did. You're asking, Lord, would you go back to the whipping post for me? He said, well, would you put faith in what I already did and then access the grace supplied it to you? Now, would you use your faith in your card and access the grace so that it will be yours? Amen.

 

Pastor West: [01:25:03] The word is not a big thing. It's everything. Amen. The word became flesh and dwelt among you. Amen. Amen. Would you close your eyes for a moment? Kirsten, could you come up here and. Play a little something. I'm sorry if I'm taking more time, but this is everything right now. Thank you. Jesus. Praise you Jesus. You know the old hymn used to sing in church just as I am. That's how you come to Jesus. Just the way that you are. You can't use. We can't use all those excuses. So when I get my life in a better place, when I clean myself up, then I'm going to come to Jesus because I got problems. Well, that'd be like telling a mechanic that'd be like me telling Mr. Bill he's a master mechanic with credentials. Master mechanic. When I get my car to run better, I'm going to take it to you to fix it. Now, do you think that's stupid? You know why it is stupid. Because if I could have fixed my car, I wouldn't ever take it to him. If you could have got yourself fixed up, you would never come to Jesus.

 

Congregation: [01:26:31] Come on now.

 

Pastor West: [01:26:33] And if you could have been good enough and holy enough, holy enough. The Scripture said there was no need for him to come. **gentle piano music begins to play** So this morning, with every eye closed. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Lord, we praise you. We give glory and honor to you. You're. You're here. You're here in our midst. I pray that the words that I spoke, that the Holy Spirit takes those words and engraft them into our heart and to our minds. Words that were spoken over these two dear ladies back here this morning, that their life changes from this moment forward, that they have peace restored into their heart, healing to their bodies in Jesus name. It's wonderful to be healed and restored, but I want to tell you this it truly is true that Jesus is coming again. He is coming again by his own words. He said he's coming again. If you are here this morning, you know, because Jesus said, if you want to acknowledge me while you're here on the earth, then when the time comes, he said, I will. If you deny me, he said before the father, one day I'm going to deny you. For God so loved this world that he gave who his best son, Jesus. Jesus said, I didn't come to condemn you. I came to save you. Love is in the house. God is in the house. Nothing I said matters at all this morning. If we don't get this. If you're here this morning and you don't have 100% assurance that if Jesus comes this afternoon before this day is over, if you don't have 100% assurance.

 

Pastor West: [01:28:46] That you would go to be with him, would you be left behind? Or would you go and meet him in the air? If you don't have 100% assurance in your heart this morning that if the King of Kings comes and descends from heaven, when the trumpet God shall sound, and the righteous shall meet him in the air. If you don't know, that's you, but you want to know you. Maybe one time you walk with God. But things happened. Things got in the way. Choices, decisions, people, things happen. It took you away from your walk with God. Maybe that's you. That happened to me. Same thing happened to me. If that's you this morning and you don't know for. For sure. For certain that if Jesus came today that you'd go to be with him. Would you just simply just raise your hand for just a moment? Put it back down. We're not going to ask you to come forward. We're just going to pray for where you are. If that's you this morning and you're here and you don't have complete confidence that Jesus Christ is your Lord, is your Savior. If you're here this morning and you say, well, I've been saved, and by your own admission, you're telling me you're saved, I rejoice that you are. If you're here this morning and you say, well, I've been born.

 

Pastor West: [01:30:17] The Bible says, born of the spirit. But I don't really know anything about being. I hear about being baptized in the spirit. The Bible says they were baptized with the Holy Ghost and they spoke with other tongues. What is the Holy Ghost with other tongues? It's the empowerment of God in your life to do what you'll never be able to do for yourself, to fulfill the plan of God. Yes, you've been born of the spirit. There's not two spirits. There's one spirit, and that one spirit lives in you. But there is a spirit subsequent to that spirit, to that experience that you had, and that is being baptized with the fullness of him. If that's you this morning and you say, I've been born in the spirit, I'm saved. But I want to be filled with the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in tongues. If that's you, would you raise your hands and we're going to pray for you. You're going to be filled this morning with the Holy Ghost and with power. Is that is there anyone here? This morning you said I've been born in the spirit, but I've never been baptized with the spirit. I've never been filled with the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, as the Book of Acts says in acts chapter two. Anyone here this morning who wants to be filled? Amen. Amen. Amen. There's more.

 

Pastor West: [01:31:21] There's more of you. You're just not raising your hand. See, the Holy Spirit is not weird. He's not crazy. He's not wild. He's given you a divine language that you communicate with him by the spirit in tongues. The Bible says he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto man, but unto God. Howbeit in the spirit he speaks mysteries. He's giving you the way to speak to him, that no demon in hell can ever know what in the world you all talking about? You got Mars cold in the Holy Ghost. If you're here this morning, you say, well, I've been saved and I've been baptized with the Holy Ghost, but I. I have some things going on in my heart, in my mind and my body. I need to be healed. I need to be set free. I need to be delivered. I wonder if you'd pray for me. Well, I'll pray for you. But you and I are going to agree upon this word that by his stripes you are healed. And Jesus said, they will lay hands on the sick, and the sick shall recover. Shall be healed. I've watched the sick recover, but I've also seen the gifts of the spirit and operation. I have seen deaf ears hear, and I've seen blind eyes see, I've seen eardrums put in ears. Why? I was praying for him. I didn't even know they didn't have an eardrum born with. And the Holy Ghost put an eardrum in them.

 

Pastor West: [01:32:36] I watched the Holy Ghost heal knees and take parts where they've had operations, to take all the metal and steel and screws out of their body the whole time. They're telling me I don't believe. I watched my own father, who was supposed to die as a diabetic, destroyed all the nerves in his body, gave him less than 24 hours to live because the nerves were destroyed. I had him on heavy morphine, and the Holy Spirit spirit sent me in there with three scriptures, and I talked to him about these three scriptures. I laid hands on him in less than 24 hours we went back. All the fluid in the feet and the legs had disappeared. They put him back in the MRI and the little Indonesian doctor came out of there, which is Buddhist, and he says, I don't know how to explain this to you. He said, a medical phenomenon has taken place. And I said, what is taking place? He said, we call this in the medical science. We call this a medical phenomenon. Can you even spell phenomenon? I said, well, tell me about your medical phenomenon. He said, we put your father in there. We because all the fluids come out of his feet and his legs. He said, we put him in the MRI and he says, you, father, has all new nerves in his body. I don't think you heard what I said. All new nerves.

 

Pastor West: [01:34:06] He was my age, 60, 62. I can't remember, he's my age dying. They said he has 12 hours. He died at age seven. They missed him by a few months. God, I all they did was lay hands on him. Left him with two scriptures on a postcard. And I thought, well, good. Well, it's going to do. They got him up on morphine. How's it going? You think he should leave it? I'll take care of. That's none of your business. I let the verse lay hands on him, and the next morning. So all the family who's coming to say goodbye to daddy just came to say hello. All new neighbors. If you're here this morning and you want to be healed, you say, well, I'm believing I'm healed. I didn't ask you if he's believing. I said, if you're sick in your body and you want to be healed today, you know, if you go to the mission field and you offer healing, they'll knock you down out here just to get to you. You go to the United States. You have to beg people for 20 minutes to come and get rid of a headache. I never sound like, well, they're kind of waiting out. Well, I'm going to see the doctor on Thursday, you know? And, you know, I got this medical. I guess I could go, but, you know, it's getting kind of late.

 

Pastor West: [01:35:15] Thank you. Jesus. But God loves even confused Christians. If you're here this morning, you need healing in your body. If you're not 100%. Surely I hit a chord there somewhere. If you're not 100% in your manifestation, can we just add to what you already got? Amen. This is me basically asking begging you to give you help. Thank you ma'am. Thank you. Everyone come up here. Who needs healing in your body? You're not 100%. Thank you. Ma'am. In the name of Jesus. If you're taking medicine for anything, you're not 100%. Can I say it that way? If you're taking Tylenol, you need 100%. You're not 100%. In Jesus name. In Jesus name. In the name of Jesus. We're not going to take much time because it didn't take much time. People who have a lot of problems, sometimes they want they want to feel a big prayer because they think this needs at least that much to it. And if they drove hours to get to you sometimes and you say be healed, that's like, no way, but you don't understand. Here's my medical report. You can read me the whole report, but when you get through, I'm going to say the same thing. So just don't get offended by that, right? I mean, what else you want me to add to it? When Jesus spoke at Lazarus tomb, he didn't need to say all that.

 

Pastor West: [01:36:48] And he told him, he said, Lord, I know you always hear me. I'm saying all this for their for their sake, because their soul needs to hear me say a lot of stuff. You say, well, I'm going to go to the doctor to see what it is so we know how to pray. Where do we get that kind of thing? You need to know every medical term so you can get healed. Know how to pray. No. Sickness is an unholy invader. Trespassing on holy ground. Now you know that, and I know that. So in Jesus name, there's people behind you. But you know, in Jesus name, top of your head, the soles of your feet are healed in Jesus name. There's. I don't know why, but she needs to come back up in Jesus name. I'm just listening. I'm just listening. I lay the hands on one at one time, years ago, and we. The church was in Clanton, and she felt she went down three times and he says, no, I mean, she went down. He said, pick her up again three times. She came back a month later. She was a visitor from Montgomery. I didn't know, I didn't know she was.

 

Pastor West: [01:37:49] It turns out she had three different situations. She said, I have a She said, I can tell you now. She said I caught a female disease from living a wrong lifestyle. There's no cure for herpes. And she said, I have a spinal problem. And she said, I have a cyst in my body, you know, a blood clot. If it moves, I could die. And she said, because of the lifestyle that I chose years ago, she said, I, you know, take whatever medication you can for me. Well, she didn't tell me nothing. I didn't even ask her. It was I don't know why the Holy Ghost did it that way, but he said three times. So she came back. The the blood clot was completely gone. Thank you Lord. She said my spine had a crook in it. And she says, and I had no back pain. So they did an MRI. She said, my spine is perfectly normal now. And she said, I went to my female doctors and they said, this is not even possible. She said, you don't have herpes. It's completely out of your body. I went to Chilton County High School, cheated the last two years to get out. Went to the trade school so I wouldn't have much to do, you know?

 

Congregation: [01:38:55] Yes, sir.

 

Pastor West: [01:38:56] Yeah, my teacher told me. She said you'll never become nothing. She said. She says. She says you're fooling around. She says you'll never be anything. She said you don't pay no attention to my class. She said, you don't care about anything. I said, yes, ma'am, I care. I just don't care nothing about what you're talking about. My mama, my mama lit my parents on fire. I need it. 

 

Editor's Note: [01:39:16] ~Ministering individually~

 

Pastor West: [01:39:16] So in Jesus name from just. I want you just to stand. You can fall if you need to. You got help. But in Jesus name I don't want you to pray, I want you just listen. You're an easy receiver. My goodness. In Jesus name. Lord. Saturate her. Go in, saturate, change and rearrange. There's things being rearranged this morning in your life. Not just in your body and in your mind, but you got some family situations. And the Lord's going to fix the financial situation for you too. Just as a bonus to show you, I see the Lord really showing out, showing up, showing out. **speaking in tongues**

 

Pastor West: [01:40:01] You have some people in your life that looks like nobody can reach but you ever heard of a big tree falling in a storm? And the Lord loves them and you can't reach him. But he has. And they're going to rejoice with you and come to you and ask you to forgive them, because they didn't see what you always knew to be the truth. Jesus. And they're going to go to church with you and rejoice with you and be with you forever in heaven. In the name of Jesus, Holy Ghost, can the Holy Ghost be two places at one time? Obviously he can, Jesus name.

 

Pastor West: [01:40:36] And you got a new joy in you this morning. He's restored you. And is the Holy Ghost blew that day? Jesus blew upon them in Jesus name. In the name of Jesus. There's the rain to the spirit this morning.

 

Pastor West: [01:40:54] In Jesus name, Jesus name. You know.

 

Pastor West: [01:40:59] When I did this, I hadn't touched her yet. My hands two inches over here. You know what I heard? I heard Jesus say all authority has been given to me. He said, I said, where's that? He said it's two inches over her head. He said all authority when it touches her. All the authority of the kingdom manifest now in Jesus name. Kingdom manifest. Prove. Make manifest.

 

Pastor West: [01:41:24] **speaking in tongues**

 

Pastor West: [01:41:35] That's my spirit speaking to yours. That's his spirit in you.

 

Pastor West: [01:41:40] Have you been filled with the spirit?

 

Pastor West: [01:41:42] Speak it out.

 

Congregation: [01:41:48] **speaking in tongues**

 

Pastor West: [01:42:12] The Spirit of God say you didn't. You didn't know that you was giving out a tongue. And I'm going to interpret that tongue. So the spirit of the living God says to you today, Renee, you are my daughter. You are the apple of my eye. You're in my every thought. He said, I think of you continuously. My heart is full of joy because of you. He said, you're are my child. You are my anointed one. You are my appointed one. You're the one who walks with me. I hear your every word. I know your every thought. I see your heart. I rejoice over you. The angels dance. The angels dance when you rejoice. And when you worship the Lord, you attract angelic spirits. Now casting all this care once and for all. The Lord says release it, release it, release it, release it. Can you release that? You know what it is. It's not. It's none of my business. So, Lord, we cast all the care upon you this morning. **speaking in tongues**

 

Pastor West: [01:43:18] Yeah. See, I mean, if I could do it in 20 minutes, I would. I mean, I just not that it takes days, but, I mean, people need help.

 

Pastor West: [01:43:26] I mean, they go to surgery. I mean, you say, well, I mean, I need a heart transplant, but I can't be here 20 minutes. Well, I mean, I don't know what to tell you. I mean, if anyone needs to go, you go. But God's doing something here, okay?

 

Speaker7: [01:43:36] **speaking in tongues** There it is. There it is. Jesus.

 

Pastor West: [01:43:44] Would you help me? Would you put your hands. This is a female. Would you just put her hands on her midsection right there and just release? Yeah. Just release. Lord said the Lord said, just just release the goodness of God into your life. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, thank you, Lord Jesus. Jesus. Thank you Jesus. More, more, more to the fullness. No cares. You're going to leave here carefree. Hey! Singing psalms and spiritual songs. Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. Songs of the spirit. Songs that you know. But songs of the spirit. I think you do that sometimes anyway. You pray in tongues. You ever sing in a tongue? Just words.

 

Congregation: [01:44:33] Yeah, yeah.

 

Pastor West: [01:44:34] You're going to have new songs in the spirit. The Holy Ghost in you is going to give you the lyrics to sing out. Hey, look, look. Yeah. You do. Oh, there it is. He's the receiver, isn't she? Easy, receiver. Oh, give me a room full of these people, Lord. Give me a room full of these people.

 

Congregation: [01:44:57] Oh, yeah.

 

Pastor West: [01:45:00] And since you gave so easy now, now you receive just in the same manner in Jesus name. Thank you Lord. Complete and total healing. Top of her head. The soles of her feet. Then the Lord still working there. You understand? Still working in Jesus name. Top of the head. The soles of the feet. Everything come in line. Be corrected right now in Jesus name.

 

Pastor West: [01:45:23] Part of that we all have, from time to time, part of the same thing with her. There's there's people who just look to you, to that they want you to be the fixer. Oh, yeah. I mean, it might be mama, but whatever. Everyone is looking to you, and your personality is just to help people because you're quiet. But not so much in the spiritual or not. People would actually be surprised if they actually knew the real you. Yes. Yeah, yeah. See, I found it. She said, that's right. She comes across as the quiet one and she is a submissive one. But you wouldn't want to tangle with her in the spirit. No, she knows who she is. Yes, sir. In the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord. Get your sword out. Oh, get the sword of the spirit out of it. Start cutting and slashing.

 

Pastor West: [01:46:10] **speaking in tongues**

 

Pastor West: [01:46:12] Then they asked Lord should shall we pursue? And the Lord said pursue and overtake and take it all back. You're going to recover all. You're going to recover all. You're going to recover all in the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord. Thank you. Know what the Lord's really just doing? He's something's going to happen, actually, here in Jemison before this year's out, when we when Wynne gets here, it's going to happen before when wind is going to step in to what's already happened and it's going to be so easy for him. It's not like he's going to get here that we're going to look for a plane to see if we can find someone who's got some fuel. We pray. In Jesus name Jesus name. Top of your head. The soles of your feet. The life of God. There it is, there it is, there it is there. Drink it in, drink it in, drink it in. You know. Can I say this? There's no one who ever got drunk. Naturally. Who didn't drink. You say? Well, I put a fifth of vodka by my head all night long. I woke up just as drunk as Cooter Brown. No you didn't. You had to drink, drink drink drink drink. And Christians who don't drink don't even know how to live, right? I talk about drinking of the Holy Ghost. Drinking of the spirit. That's right. The problem is, Christians want to think when they need to drink. There it is. It's true. Drink. Drink. Drink. Let it go. There it is. **speaking in tongues** You're my third child. And I was the third child. Not about that. I gave you my last name, and you didn't do nothing to deserve it. You just came in. I slapped West on your last name.

 

Pastor West: [01:48:00] Well, we didn't deserve what Jesus did for us.

 

Pastor West: [01:48:08] This is just a little bit to let it be working until we get to you in the name of Jesus. In Jesus name.

 

Pastor West: [01:48:26] I'm only going to say what I see. I'm only going to say what I see. You're going to be so happy.

 

Pastor West: [01:48:33] I want to ask you this so I won't embarrass you. I see you like you're so happy. You're like a little girl skipping. People who skip are happy, right? I mean, you might run if you're happy, but when someone skips, that tells the whole story, doesn't it? Is there kind of. Is there some kind of peanut butter called skippers? Is there?

 

Congregation: [01:49:01] Skippy

 

Pastor West: [01:49:03] Skippy peanut butter.

 

Pastor West: [01:49:04] I'd eat it if I was you. I'd eat it and skip it. Watch here. Oh, magnify the Lord with me. Let us exalt his name together. Psalm 34. Right. Oh, magnify the Lord. See, the way you shrink a problem is you magnify the Lord. It's not that he gets bigger. He's already big. But since our focus has been on. Then we got a devil this big and a god we could fit in our pocket. You get God out of your pocket. And this big devil. O magnify the Lord with me. Let us exalt his name together. The more you think about Him and His goodness, the more he's magnified. Your problems begin to shrink and dwindle down to nothing. So you're. I'm going to call you Skippy. Can I call you Skippy? Her name's Grace. So this is actually her place. She just lets me come here. So you're actually in her place? This is Grace's place. Thank you for letting me come here. She ain't even thrown me out yet. Thank you, Lord, for helping Skippy. Oh, there it is. Now. Just really just you. Just you and him right there. Just you and him. You and his loving arms. Oh, you have a loving, natural daddy and a loving, natural mother. But no, no, they don't even have the capacity to love you like he loves you. He loved you before he even made you. He knew you before you was. Oh, he has such great plans for you. Now let go of the past. Let go! Just let go of everything and everyone. Bad choice, bad decision. That hurt me. That's like this. I can't, you don't understand. You don't understand what I deal with. I don't have to understand. The greater one lives in you. Jesus name. Top of her head, Lord. The soles of her feet saturate every part of her being. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. There it is. There it is. Just the weight of his presence. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.

 

Pastor West: [01:51:25] There it is. You feel it?

 

Pastor West: [01:51:26] I know you do. Jesus. Woo! Woo! Jesus! There it is.

 

Pastor West: [01:51:34] Every stronghold broken.

 

Pastor West: [01:51:38] Jesus name. Jesus name. Jesus. Mighty name. On top of her head. Soles of her feet. Everything. Everything. Everything must submit.

 

Pastor West: [01:51:54] To the Christ in you, the greater one who lives within you. Everything must submit to the authority of the Anointed One within you. She knows who she is. You can't pull that on her. And now you know that she knows and I know. So we give you an invitation to leave and harass her no more. These strongholds must go. A stronghold, a mental fortress. It's a house of cards. Built by not casting down imaginations and things that exhaustive against the knowledge of God. But we repent of that. And now we cast down those thoughts. Imaginations. Fill. Fill. He said, if you'll. If you'll give me the place, I'll fill it up. Now, Lord, fill, fill, fill, fill. Drink drink drink drink drink drink drink. Take in receive take in. Good ground. Receives. She takes it in. She receives. There it is.

 

Pastor West: [01:53:16] We don't have to be loud or crazy. Just drink.

 

Pastor West: [01:53:24] Hey!

 

Pastor West: [01:53:26] Woo! I'm trying to hold my own drink in Jesus name. Lord, help him be taller. He struggles with being a midget in the name of Jesus.

 

Pastor West: [01:53:43] Thank you. Jesus. Right there.

 

Pastor West: [01:53:46] Jesus name. Right there. Right there. Right there. Fix. Make. Well, renew. In Jesus name.

 

Pastor West: [01:54:02] Other things. Must go.

 

Pastor West: [01:54:10] Other things that we give place to, our mind to.

 

Pastor West: [01:54:15] Consider, ponder, think about.

 

Pastor West: [01:54:20] If allowed to remain.

 

Pastor West: [01:54:24] But we won't. Go!! Jesus. Jesus name. Lord. Thank you. Jesus.

 

Pastor West: [01:57:23] What is that you said? Oh, you know the Scripture, said John.

 

Pastor West: [01:57:43] It talks about.

 

Pastor West: [01:57:45] Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health. I'm sorry, I can't quote it. Some of y'all may know what is in Isaiah. That's third John two, but I'm the one I'm about to mention. I think it's in Isaiah. He said, I'll teach you how to profit. Isn't that isn't that Isaiah somewhere? Here's an instruction. The Lord said for you to ask him to define what the word profit means in accordance with their John two, and that's going to open up everything in your life. I will teach you how to profit. Let me see this. Let's not just make money, lose it. When you connect it with third John two, which has to have soul prospering. There's so many people who soul is helping them prosper. The only reason any of us have problems. It can't be your body. Your body is just neutral, right? It can't be your spirit or seal. The reason why any of us have problems is something going on in the soul, right? Does that make sense? Can't be your body. Can't be your spirit. Your spirit. Spirit. So what we have this morning is soul problems. You can't have a soul problem unless something came into the soul. And someone like me sometimes can help and assist to run that out. But if the words are not put in place, see? It's porous. It keeps coming in. And you're a defender of the wall. You're on the walls. That's what gives you this message. It's like boom, boom, boom, boom. They don't really understand it. And you understand it. You're okay with it. And the Lord is showing you how to use it in temperate and all that kind of stuff. But a watchman on the walls, when he sees something coming, you know, he can't say. I think there's gonna be some problems coming.

 

Congregation: [01:59:34] Yeah.

 

Pastor West: [01:59:35] I mean, he's got the Paul Revere knowing he's trying to save your life. Yeah. So. But the Lord's going to show you how to. He's going to give you the the right way to to minister that message because it has to go out. It has to go out. But that's what I heard explicitly, that. Matthew, what did you say? 48. What? So he's going to teach you what prophet means? Yes. It's not that you're wrong, but he has so much more in that word that he wants to expound to you so you can expand it to others connected with third John two. Yes, sir. Bless him, father and his family in Jesus name. In the name of Jesus. I need some help over here, please.

 

Pastor West: [02:00:18] In Jesus mighty name. Jesus.

 

Pastor West: [02:00:23] Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.

 

Pastor West: [02:00:25] Jesus. Everything. Everything.

 

Pastor West: [02:00:32] You're a good receiver, too, because you understand the love of God.

 

Pastor West: [02:00:38] Yes. You are as John, the one that he loved. And you know that.

 

Pastor West: [02:00:45] You love him because he first loved you first. Get ready for the experience of that love. Third John or Ephesians chapter three. But you will know the breadth. In other words, you're God's pulling up the stakes of what love is and what love will do. And those stakes. You're going to have new dimensions and a new horizon, you're going to have a new perception of what the love of God is for you and for others.

 

Pastor West: [02:01:10] In Jesus name, in Jesus mighty name.

 

Pastor West: [02:01:16] My dear brother, my dear brother, I love you. You're a good man. God saved his life. Some of y'all didn't know that. This. Just. I mean, some people wouldn't want you to know something personal, but he's the one telling it. I'm just telling his story. Brian had a heart situation. And just when was it?

 

Congregation: [02:01:39] 20th of May.

 

Pastor West: [02:01:40] 20th of May. And he just so happened to come on the property where a family member was and was talking and fell out. His heart stopped. And Chris called the ambulance as quick as they could get there, but there, out away from them, and did all he could with CPR to try to save his life. When the paramedics got there, they had to use the sharp thing about three times or so to try to bring him back from dead. And the doctor said only. How many? What percent? Five. 5% of people will ever live what you just went through and ever lived to tell the story. Did you know that when you're born, when you're born, when the father, the man sows the seed into the woman.

 

Pastor West: [02:02:34] There's millions of cells, and you're that one little sperm cell around millions, and they're all fighting to get to the womb for the eggs. So you've already fought a. Heck of a fight just to get here. I don't want to cuss. But you were already a fighter. Even to get here, you had to beat all.

 

Pastor West: [02:02:58] Get back, get back, get back!

 

Pastor West: [02:03:01] They was all trying to get to the eggs. Don't tell me you ain't got fight in you. And you wasn't fighting clean either. You was fighting dirty to get there. Now, father. Oh, Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Make well, make well. Make, heal. Make well. Everything. He's not even asking for him. I know as a father, he's. He has things that he's concerned with. His own, his own, his entire family. That your children are are is a blessing from the Lord and an inheritance. And God's going to make everything well. He says, don't take no concern. Take no concern. I'm making well every situation. I know every detail. When you are asleep, I know what they're doing and thinking before they get there. I've already been there.

 

Pastor West: [02:03:57] Jesus. Jesus mighty name.

 

Pastor West: [02:04:03] We all have concerns on every front. This morning, it's just like he's just asking. Give these things to me. Jesus said, if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask what you will. Wouldn't it be wonderful? He just said, if you abide in me, because if you're saved, you'd be abiding. But he said, if you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will. Where's she going? I'm not through her. Jesus mighty name. Jesus died. Top of your head. The soles of your feet. I'm not through with you. No, no, I'm not through you.

 

Pastor West: [02:04:40] Jesus! In the name of Jesus. Had the soles of her feet. Drink. You see, drinking. What I'm trying to get you to do is take in. All right. You can't drink and blow out at the same time. Be filled with the spirit. If I don't do anything weird. Can I pray for you? I won't be, I won't do anything weird. I didn't get this way overnight. Do you know how much Jesus loves you?

 

Pastor West: [02:05:20] Do you really?

 

Congregation: [02:05:21] I do.

 

Pastor West: [02:05:22] Amen.

 

Pastor West: [02:05:24] He loves you so much, he would have went to the cross just for you. And you already know these things. But we all have life. We all have people. Our people. Wonderful. Some of them. It takes a little bit more help to to get through it. So your name again? Brandy. I know that brandy. Y'all stretch your hands out toward Brandy.

 

Pastor West: [02:05:54] This means everyone hands out this towards you as the extension of their love towards you. Brandy. You're surrounded with people who just love you. They don't care about what was. They just want what is so in Jesus name.

 

Pastor West: [02:06:15] Be filled with his spirit. Lord, let her.

 

Pastor West: [02:06:19] Let her know in this moment in a way that she'll understand, in a way that she can receive it. There it is, there it is, there it is. You can just be at peace now. Be at peace. This is his way of letting you know.

 

Pastor West: [02:06:32] There it is. There it is. Gosh, he's been through so much. Wasn't right. It was wrong that he hurt you.

 

Pastor West: [02:06:41] And you've carried those hurts for a long time. I don't have the right to ask you this, but just according to the word. If you'll just release them right now and forgive them. When they put the spear in Jesus side and they were putting stakes and nails into his body, and even though he screamed out, he said he screamed out, father, forgive him, please. He says they don't know what they're doing to me. And you've been hurt. It was wrong. It was not right. I ask you to forgive him only because the father loves them also. Lord Jesus, help her. Bless her. Help her right now, in Jesus name.

 

Pastor West: [02:07:29] I want to tell you.

 

Pastor West: [02:07:31] How I see you. From just the little part of what God shows me. No matter what you do for a living. God's going to use you in the capacity that you're already using you. But I see you as a first responder. There's something about you that people wouldn't be willing to go into rooms as. You just go in there and have to stay at night if you have to, to rescue. So you are a rescuer. You're God's paramedic. You're God's fire firewoman. And you doing this has cost you before. You know, sometimes when you go in to rescue people, I've done it. I've gone in to rescue ministers and they end up being snake bit.

 

Pastor West: [02:08:12] Then they talk about you.

 

Pastor West: [02:08:13] It's like I thought I was the one who. I thought I was the one who helped you. And now you cursed me. And you are the first responder. Do you know what I'm talking about? You do know what I'm talking about. Yeah, but see, that's a call on your life. That's an anointing. That's a gift on your life. They want all understand it. But you only do that really, because you care so much. And a lot of times, you know what they need and they don't even see what they need, but you know. So, I mean, you know, the fireman, he got all this gear all over him. He's Teflon. He's all this. He got all these tanks on there, and here come her. And she's like, she says, get out of it. Get the heck out of my way. I'm trying to trying to save your life. And here you are, trying to kill yourself and God. You're anointed for this time in this hour to do that in Jesus name. Y'all stretch your hands to one more time. Say father. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Bless her. Strengthen her right now. Give her your council, your wisdom, your guidance, your strength, your ability. There it is. Your love, your joy. Oh, y'all need a whole lot more joy in this house. Hallelujah.

 

Congregation: [02:09:25] Glory.

 

Pastor West: [02:09:26] The joy. The Lord is your strength. How could someone as intelligent as God, he could have picked anything. He picked joy to be our strength.

 

Congregation: [02:09:33] Yes.

 

Pastor West: [02:09:34] You know why? Because you don't. James says, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations, test and trials. Why would he say count it all joy when you're when you're falling? Because it ain't. So you had to be real. Had to be real. Easy for me to understand. Count it all joy when you fall. Yeah. So I had to do it like this sometime. Oh. Just counting. But they're talking about me. I don't feel good. I don't know if I can pay my bills this month. I may sound like a wreck, you know. But after a while, I bounced out of your belly shall flow a river. Oh, a river. It's in your belly. Out of your belly shall flow. Ha ha ha! Here comes the bubble. Boop boop boop boop boop. I told you I wouldn't be weird.

 

Pastor West: [02:10:27] Okay? Boop boop. All right, but.

 

Pastor West: [02:10:32] I'm not being weird because I'm saying that based on what I'm capable of, not what I'm doing.

 

Pastor West: [02:10:44] Out of your belly shall flow.

 

Pastor West: [02:10:47] Out of yalls belly shall what? Flow! Rivers, rivers, rivers, rivers, rivers, rivers. Thank you Lord. He didn't say. He didn't say a crick. He didn't say. Oh, man Elsies pond. Rivers of living water. So just get in and swim in the river. The river of life. And let the joy of the Lord be your strength. Lord, I mean, you ought to. We all ought to. Just do a little dance right now.

 

Congregation: [02:11:17] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. See.

 

Pastor West: [02:11:19] See, your heart is even. Get Christians just to. Just to jump into the river Lynne Minks in heaven. Now he wrote a whole CD about jumping into the river.

 

Pastor West: [02:11:28] See, you say you have all this in you, but I don't see no expression of it.

 

Congregation: [02:11:32] Glory.

 

Pastor West: [02:11:33] If Ed McMahon came to your house years ago and said you won $10 million, you say, whoa!!!! What? Over $1 million. Yeah. Drink drink drink drink drink drink drink drink drink drink drink drink drink drink drink.

 

Speaker5: [02:11:50] Drink.

 

Pastor West: [02:11:50] Drink. Don't think. Drink. Quit the thinking. Go to drinking. Quit the thinking. Go to drinking. Well, this concludes our Sunday school.

 

Pastor West: [02:12:03] Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's right. In the name of Jesus. In the name. In his name? Did you see that a while ago? He showed me that I was, like, just about to touch Miss Renee. He said, you know, authority is. I said, well, yeah. And he said, but do you know where it is now? So I learned how to say, quit answering question. I said, I don't know nothing, Lord, tell me. He said, all authority right now for you is in your hand. And I knew as soon as I could touch her. Miss Renee, I could release all authority in Jesus name. Yes. God be well. Be healed. There it is. In Jesus name. All that. Go go go go go go go go go go go. 

 

Pastor West: [02:12:57] What will you do. What are you going to do. What are you going to do. With great wealth? What are you going to do with great wealth? Says the Lord. Make the plan now. Because the question he's saying, what will you do with great wealth?

 

Congregation: [02:13:19] Oh, Lord. Thank you.

 

Pastor West: [02:13:22] To just say things, is wrong. To just make up things, is wrong.

 

Pastor West: [02:13:35] I'm just the boy who throws the newspaper on the porch. That's all I'm doing. I just deliver the message. I don't. I don't write it. Barb, you can go over here and play something. 

 

Pastor West: [02:14:16] What do you want? What you come up here for me?

 

Congregation: [02:14:21] I didn't, you called me.

 

Pastor West: [02:14:22] What do you want?

 

Congregation: [02:14:31] Without fail, Recover all.

 

Pastor West: [02:14:33] Without fail. Recover all. Everything that's been taken. Yeah. That you were the one that surprised us. We went to Rhema. You you you went. You started Rhema in the second year in the mother's womb. Boy, I was upset with my wife about her getting pregnant. I said I want some answers. And then she explained, I said, oh. No insurance, 1993 I was making $6.75 an hour going to Bible school, got three kids and pregnant before, no insurance. All kinds of things to think about. Recover all.

 

Pastor West: [02:15:31] That's good. That's good. Can we go up?

 

Pastor West: [02:15:37] Recovering All is getting back what you already had. But if you actually came before God, really? You wouldn't ask to get your Chevrolet back. Seek first the kingdom. All those things that you need in recovery I bet it's. I bet it's in that. Teach me how to profit in Jesus name. So let's let's just let's go and get recovery out of the way, because that happens in the process. Yes. All right.

 

Pastor West: [02:16:22] It's like Nathan over here when he takes a car that's been damaged. He's supposed to restore it and help it to recover. But I suppose there's more expensive paint that you can buy and things that he can do to it to take it better than it ever was. So let's go up to the heavenly places. Your ministers are the longest line. So the prophetic ministry is going to take up to a new level. And now he's giving you the wisdom to know what to do with it, because it's what's kind of troubling for you for a long time, seeing things you didn't want to see, hearing things you didn't want to hear. And it's it caused a lot of unrest in you. But the Lord is mature in you in that. And he trust you with it because you just don't blab things out. You just you just don't say, God's going to do this. God's do this.

 

Pastor West: [02:17:27] When he can trust you, he'll give you more. Okay, so you was the one with the one talent you had the two, and now you're promoted to the five. In Jesus name. Father, thank you that you she recovers all. But take her to the high place with you and this child within her. My 12th grandchild. And who ever saw that coming? In Jesus name, we bless Anna. And her great great great grandmother, Victoria. Anna Victoria, who actually prayed me into the ministry. Ain't it funny how generations work like that? You want to give your daughter a middle name. But my great grandmother, which is her great, great. He prayed for hours a day for the Holy Ghost. The mother of 12 said God raised up ministers within my family. And now you're wanting to attach her name to this woman. It's a thing of honor. The Lord loves honor. The Lord loves honor. And honor has its reward. Now, Lord, open up the rooms. Help her to see more plainly. Be able to discern that what she sees and to articulate it in words. For the gift of prophecy. To bring edification, exhortation and compassion. Not to scare people. In Jesus mighty name. You know and a raise from somewhere wouldn't wouldn't hurt. I don't say that to you for them, but I'm just telling you. Increase. Increase increases in the order. In Jesus name. Jesus name. Amen.

 

Pastor West: [02:20:58] Amen. Thank you for hanging in there with us. This is not our normal time. Whew! Amen. Y'all better go get the second order of chicken is coming out.
