Speaker 2 (02:33):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Where it all looks like kids leading worship, But make
some noise for that amazing worship. That is wow. Great job, Tim,
great to see a great job with man. The youth
ministries just incredible. Let's go right to the word. I'm
I'm I'm fired up. We're gonna go to First Kings seventeen.
I got a lot to say, so I want to
(02:55):
go to the word First King Chapter seventeen. While you're
turning there. If you don't have a Bible, don't worry
to come up on the screen. But if you do,
go ahead and turn with me. I do want to
bring greetings from Las Vegas. We started City Light Church
six years ago and God is just really blessing and
breathing on that work. And I'm grateful. And if you're
(03:17):
if you're ever in Vegas, don't laugh. Hey, y'all guilty.
I don't know what happened at every other location, but
it's a real little naughty smile that just filled the whole.
I don't know why you come to Vegas. I think
you come to Street of Angelism. Amen. Uh, you're you're,
(03:41):
you're all the people with the signs right on the
strip preaching you reach out to the blackjack dealers, Amen
and to. I don't know why you come, but if you,
if you're ever in Vegas, come say hi. I'd love
to see you and uh to uh love to see
you in church on a Sunday morning, First King's Chapter seventeen.
(04:02):
Then the Lord said to Elijah, anybody grateful that God
speaks Hallelujah, go and live in the village of Zaraphath,
near the city of Sedon. I've instructed a widow there
to feed you. So he went to Zarafath. As he
arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a
widow gathering sticks there, and he asked her, would you
(04:25):
bring me a little cup of water? And as she
was going to get it, he called to her, I love,
this is the most man move in the Bible. Y
Already every husband and wife knows this move right here.
And can you get me a little snack? Jesus gamelo, babe.
Can you get me a little a little bread, Get
(04:46):
me a little sandwich, babe? She said, I swear by
the Lord your God, I don't even have a single
piece of bread in this house. I only have a
handful of flour left in a jar, and a little
cooking oil left in the bottom of this jug. I
was just gathering sticks to cook the last meal, and
then my son and I will die. Elijah said to her,
(05:07):
don't be afraid. Go do what you've said, but make
a little bread for me first. This is amazing that
God did not say, make one big piece of bread,
cut it three ways, and we'll all have a peace.
He said, make mine first, because when you put God
first in your life. I have to believe that every
(05:28):
time I put God first in my life, a miracle
is happening in the kitchen. So he said, make mine first,
then use what's left over to prepare a meal for
you and your son. For this is what the Lord,
the God of Israel, says. There will always be flour
and olive oil left in your containers until the time
(05:48):
when the Lord sends rain and the crops grow again.
So she did as Elijah said. She and Elijah and
her family continue to eat for many days. There was
always enough. Man.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I love this about God. There was always enough flower.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
And olive oil left in the containers, just as the
Lord had promised through Elijah. I want to just look
at verse twelve very quickly, and then we're gonna We're
going to dismantle a lie that she believed. I'm gonna
eat this meal and die. And it's here that Elijah
(06:26):
comes with a different word, faith word, hope word, God word,
a prophetic word. And I want to come with that.
I want to I want to contradict the devil. Today.
I've come to disagree with the demons that have been
lying to you. I've got good news for you today,
(06:49):
and I want to I want to speak from this idea.
It's not over, It's not over. Can you can you
just maybe elbow who's next to you, make them a
little uncomfortable, tell them it's not over. Come on, tell
a come on online around the world.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Tell him it's not over. It's not over. Do y'all
believe it today?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Give the Lord one more shout of praise, and we're
going to get into this word. Bless your word, Lord,
in Jesus's name, Amen and Amen. Prophets in the Old
Testament are called seers, seers see r s. They are seers.
They see. We think of prophets as speaking, and they do.
(07:30):
But before they would say a thing, they would see
a thing. God would take them up into the spirit realm.
Pastor preached about trainces last week and about Peter getting
caught up into the spirit. He would he would take
prophets up into the spirit, and he would say, Ezekiel,
what do you see, Jeremiah, what do you see? Isaiah?
What do you tell me what you see? And then
(07:52):
they would say what they saw. Because it was very
important for God to communicate that there is more going
on than meets the natural eye. Oh, I'm trying to
slow down already, but I'm I already feel like preaching,
and I just started. He's trying to tell them that
(08:14):
there's more than the five senses, There's more than the natural,
There's more than what your eyes can see. There is
a spiritual realm, there is a spiritual place, there is
an element called faith. In that place, in the Kingdom place,
in the God place, nothing is impossible. So he has
to get them to see that there's more to see
(08:37):
than what they see, and then they are to say
what they see in the spirit realm because God knows something.
God knows that if you can get a vision from
God and a word from God, you become unstoppable. That
when I get a vision from God and a word
from God, nothing is impossible. That though the giants are great,
(09:00):
I have a word from God, and though the mountains
are high, I have a word from God. And though
my kids are acting crazy right now, I got a
word from God. And though I don't even know where
my spouse was last night, I got a word from God.
And though I don't know how I'm gonna pay the bills,
I got a vision from God. And what I see
right now with my eyes does not look like what
(09:21):
I saw in the spirit. But if I can get
a vision, I can make it. Because without a vision,
the people perish, They lose control, they lose hope, they
lose all of their hope. But with a vision, I
can make it. This is what happened to Elisha and
(09:41):
second Kings when the enemy surround Elisha and his servant,
and his servant comes to him and says, my Lord,
we're surrounded by enemies. And Elisha prays, and Elisha does
not pray, God help us. Elisha does not pray, God,
where are you. Elisha does not pray, God, we need
a vis Elisha prays, not for himself or against his enemies.
(10:04):
Elisha prays for his servant. And here's his prayer. And
I don't think his servant was expecting it. Lord, open
his eyes, because he thinks we have an enemy problem.
But he has a vision problem. You think you got
a devil problem. You got a vision problem. You think
you got a demon problem. You got a vision problem.
(10:25):
You might think you got a boss problem. Maybe you
have a vision problem. You might think you got a
wife problem, Sir, Maybe you have a vision problem because
once God opens my eyes. I can now see what's
God open my eyes, so I don't live my entire
life sing with these but never see what You're doing
(10:47):
in my life, or I will end up praying the
wrong prayers, go into the wrong places, hang in with
the wrong people, singing the wrong songs. But if God
can open my eyes, I can do everything what God's
called me to do. I think we ought to give
God a praise right there, because that's the power of
this church. That's the power of every song we sing.
(11:09):
That's the power of doing a new You is that
I can now see from Heaven's perspective. I remember the
first time my little daughter realized we were in an
airplane as she looked out the window and the world
started to get his own small And she goes, Dad,
the car the people are small, Dad, the mountains are small.
(11:34):
And I go they didn't get any smaller, You just
got higher. I'm telling you, God, God can take you
somewhere where you see and where you hear, and where
you say something radically different. And it's here that God
(11:56):
helps this woman to see. It's here that God helps
this woman to hear a better word, It's it's here
that she catches a vision for herself or her family
and for the famine that she finds herself in it.
I believe today, this is a vision day. I believe
God's gonna release sight today. Firstly, you have to see
(12:22):
your future. You have to see your future. The woman says,
I'm gonna eat this meal and die. Wow, put that
on your dream board. Huh, that's a that's an awkward
Instagram post. But this is what she believed. This is
(12:44):
what she thought. Let me let me let me say
the obvious that maybe even ever thought about. She did
not know that. She didn't know it'd be her last meal.
She didn't have a weather app on her phone. She
didn't know if God was in the sin rain tomorrow.
She didn't know if someone was gonna bring her food
(13:04):
in the morning. She didn't know she was in the
presence of a prophet. She had no idea about her future,
but she was predicting her future based off of the
worst case scenario. I'm gonna eat this meal and die.
She didn't know that. And every time we speak from
(13:25):
a spirit of fear, we are declaring the worst case scenario,
even though we don't know. See, this is fear. Fear
is not always frighted. Fear is not always this feeling
of panic like we think. Fear is it's over. Fear
is I guess the famine wand Fear is I tried
(13:48):
and failed. Fear is I guess this is my last meal.
Fear doesn't feel like what you think is gonna feel like.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I know this because since i'veted our church six years ago,
I've had three panic attacks. Now, I didn't have panic
attacks before I planted the church. Before I planted the church,
I was an evangelist, I preached, I traveled, and I
lived in Newport Beach, California. Amen, it was just you
don't have panic attacks in Newport Beach. You just everybody's
(14:21):
a Christian. The dolphins are saved. You go see them
out swimming, speaking in tongues, you know. I mean, it's
like it's anointed. Everybody's smiling, or at least has enough boatox.
It looks like they're smiling the other everybody's happy, everybody's
got tan. Life was good. And then I moved to
Sin City and I planted this church. I thought I
(14:45):
was having a heart attack. Three times I thought I
was having a heart attack. I'd go into the emergency room.
Hi are you good? Good good? I'm good. I see
a sign in sir, what's wrong. I'm dying. I'm having
a heart attack. Man, they freak out. They get you
to the front of the line. I mean it goes
into code ight. By the way, if you ever want
to get to the front of an ear no, never mind,
don't do that. But I was just telling you. I mean,
(15:08):
they get you. I mean it's like it's twenty minutes
in Mayhem. They're taking blood, they're putting a little electrical things
all over. I mean it's they're freaking out for twenty minutes,
and all of a sudden, boom, they're gone. And there
I am just sitting there in a in a gown
for an hour in a cold room. The breeze is
(15:30):
blowing in places I didn't know I had, and the
doctor walks in.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Mister Tavis, I got good news and I got bad news.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
The good news is you are not having a heart attack.
The bad news is you're having a panic attack. You're depressed,
I said number one, I am having a heart attack.
I feel like a like an elephants on my chest.
I can I can feel my heart. I can't breathe.
I know because you now you have a panic. All
(16:00):
the numbers are good grabbing a panic attack, and it
felt like I was dying. But really I was just
so fearful of my future that I told myself this
must be it. But I've come to declare to somebody
at Elevation Church today, it's not over. This is not
(16:25):
your last meal. This is not the end of the
road for you. This is not how it ends, This
is not your last year. This is not how it
ends for you. God is still writing your story. Oh
can I get a good amen? In the House of
the Lord. See fear lies, Fear lies to you, and
(16:56):
fear assumes and declares the worst case scenario you. Fear
tries to predict my tomorrow by the challenges of yesterday.
She judged her future by the drought that she's been in,
and she cursed her tomorrow based off of the pain
(17:19):
of her past. I understand there's challenges in this room.
I understand there's pain in this room. I understand there
are very hard seasons in this room, in every room,
people watching all over the world and you going. But
you don't know what what I'm going through but I
want to declare a truth over you. Your past is
(17:43):
not your prophecy. Oh I felt that, am I sanctified soul.
Just because it's been one way doesn't mean it will
always be that way. Just because I've been in a
season doesn't mean that sea and last. Every season changes.
The storm can't last forever. Eventually God will make it
(18:07):
rain again. Eventually, the trout ends. Eventually things can chain.
Your past is not your prophecy, It is not my prediction.
It is a real part of my story, but it's
not the end of my story. It's a chapter in
my book, but it's not the final chapter of my book.
(18:27):
Let me tell you some about about the enemy of
your soul. Let me tell you some about the devil.
The devil is a is a present devil. Let me
say it like this. He is. He roams around like
a lion seeking whom he made divide. He is, he is,
(18:48):
He's present. This is radically different than the God that
you serve. They're not in some crazy cosmic battle. They're
not armor sling for your soul. Don't don't worry about it,
because because God is radically different. God is everywhere. Oh
(19:11):
God was, do I have a scholar in the house,
and he and he is and he is to come,
which means that God is in your past. God is
working in your future, and God God is preparing you
in your present. God is all places at once. Paul
(19:33):
said about Jesus that he feels time and space, that
he's here, and he's there, and he's everywhere, all at
the same time. This is good news because see, when
the enemy speaks to you, he can only speak to
you in your present. I'm going somewhere. He doesn't know
your future. He speaks to you in your today, and
(20:01):
he lies to you about tomorrow, and he hopes you
believe it.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
But his guess is as good as yours. So he
whispers in the woman's ear, this is your last meal.
You're gonna die. You go listen my last meal. I'm
gonna die. He don't know that, just like she don't
know that. This is radically different than God. God establishes
the end.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
From the beginning. He starts in your future. He doesn't
guess about your tomorrow. Oh, this is good news. This
means that when God gives you a promise, he's not guessing.
Am I helping anybody right now? He doesn't go. I
(20:52):
hope it works out. I got good plains for you.
Let's see, he said, as I know the plans that
I have for you, they are plans to give you
a hope. Can we get a little rowdy at this
first service of the day. I'm talking to somebody of
(21:13):
what God talks to you. He talks to you.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
From your future into your present, and he says.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Come on over to this side.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I've got good plans. I've got a good and he's
not hoping it happens. He knows it'll happen. Oh, this
is so different. This is the God you serve. This
is the God who gives you promises. This is the
God we sing about. He knows exactly what he's doing
(21:52):
and he's got good plans for you. Jesus talks about
a spirit.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
In the last Day. He talks about a mentality that
would fill the earth in the last days. Luke twenty
one says that the people will be terrified. How you know,
that's just like the spirit of the world just scared.
(22:20):
It is the world scared today that it was one
hundred years ago. I'm not sure. But now we got
these little phones, y'all know what I'm saying, and you
wake up in the morning and you turn them on
and it tells you. That phone tells you the worst.
So we're terrified because one hundred years ago, they didn't
know there was a tornado in Nebraska and an earthquake
in Japan and a war in the Middle League. They
(22:43):
didn't know. They were just living their life. But now
we have twenty four hour access to news, and good
news doesn't sell, only bad news sells. So it's constant
bad news, and we are feeding and it become addicted
to bad news. We've become addicted to concern, we become
(23:04):
addicted to panic, and now we feed on it twenty
four hours a day. And Jesus said, this would be
the tone, this would be the spirit, this would be
the stronghold, this would be the mentality of the world's system.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
That fear would grip us. We would be terrorized, terrified. Oh,
but there is another spirit. For the child of God.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I want to declare to you that the opposite of
fear is not faith. The opposite of fear is the
Holy Spirit. Ha ha. Because the Spirit of God is
not a spirit of fear, but he is power, love,
and a sound mind. And there is another spirit for
(23:51):
the people of God. At chapter two, verse seventeen, God says,
in the last days, see this is the last day scripture.
Preachers don't preach about. But this is my favorite Last
Day scripture. And by the way, it's the clearest Last
Day scripture in the Bible. In the last days, i
will pour out my spirit on all flesh. I'm gonna
pour out my spirit on your sons and your daughters.
(24:11):
I've got a plan for your children. I've got a
plan for families. I've got a plan for your six
year old, and I've got a plan for your sixteen
year old. I've got a plan for your mayor. I
got a plan for families.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh, and.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
You will prophesy, and you will see dreams, and you
will have visions. And when the spirit of God comes
upon you, he he removes the fear. You will not
allow it in your soul. God can turn it around
(24:48):
for you. It's not over. This is not your last meal.
I want you to see. I want you to see
your future. I want you to see like God sees it.
They shall prophesy, he said, prophecy. That's not that's not
just closing your eyes and speaking in King James English.
(25:12):
It's talking like God talks. It's getting a word for
your family. It's getting a word for your future. It's
getting a word for your business. It's speaking about tomorrow
like God speaks about tomorrow. Number two, you have to
see your calling. I have I have instructed, I have
(25:37):
commanded a widow there. I have I have commanded a
widow there, I have instructed a widow there. I don't
know if you if you think about this language, but
it feels like it feels like Elijah is going to
walk into the village and and say, hey, I'm here,
(26:00):
and she's gonna go, omg, it's you. You're the guy.
I was in prayer and the Lord talked to me
about you. He's given me an instruction. He's given me
a commandment. Come on in. I got bread, bacon, I
got water in the jug. Let's go, come on, come
in heat. God's been talking to me. That's what happens.
He walks into town and she has no idea who
(26:20):
he is. And I think the reason is this because
this word instructed isn't the best English word, the better
word from the Hebrew language that it was written in.
Is I have appointed a woman there, I have chosen
(26:41):
for special use. I have anointed a woman there, and
she thinks she's gonna die, but she's anointed. She's given
up on her future, but she's appointed. She has no
(27:04):
more hope, but my calling is on her. She thinks
it's the end for her and for her family, but
she has no idea that my hand is upon her.
Some of you are in a very low place right now.
Some of you think this must be the end of
the road. I've tried everything, but I guess the drought
want No, there's an annoying on your light. There's a
(27:25):
calling on your life. You have been chosen for special use. Hey,
you don't even know it. Because see, Elijah had an
anoying on his life that she needed. But listen, she
had an annoying on her life that he needed. They
(27:45):
both had oil.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Why do you always asking me to serve in this
church because you have oil? Why do I got to
lead an e group because you have oil? Why do
you want me serving in the house because you got oil?
Why are they pushing next year ministry? I don't feel
I hold in a baby. You got oil? We need
you in the youth ministry.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
We need we need you in the children's ministry, we
need you serving in a ministry. We need you using
your gifts telling. And I know you're at a low point,
but we need you in the.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
House of God, because there's actually oil that this house needs.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
She thought it was over. God was anointing her. Oh,
and I've been there. I have been at places where
I've been so lone, but I said yes to my gift. Anyway,
one time I was preaching for my friend, and I
preach preacher preaching. I preach pretty good. I gotta be honest.
(28:54):
I don't like all my sermons. I like that one.
And I was in a low place. I didn't want
to be there. I wanted to cancel, but I preached,
and we got off. We got off the stage, and
we went to dinner, and my friend looked at me
and said, boy, you must be going through it. I said,
say last, I said no, I said what I said,
What Why lest I be going through it? He goes
(29:15):
because you preach good. He said.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
You preach like you were dying. You preach, you preach
like this was your last servant. You preach like you
were giving.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
It your all. I said, I am going through it, and.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I'm so grateful that even in my lowest moments, I've
got oil on my life. There's a gift on my life,
and there's a gift on your life.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And if we need you right now, it is not
time to quit. It's not time to leave. It's not
time for you to die. God's oil is on your
Come on, somebody's out. I'm anointed. Come on, sap somebody
a high five. Tell them you're anointed. They needed each
(29:57):
other's annoying to be sustained through the trought I've appointed.
It was almost like God knew that if she got
in the atmosphere of the prophetic. Sorry, my pentecostal just
(30:18):
showed I try to keep it. I know I'm that
all of a I'm trying to behave right now. That
organ doesn't help. It's like he knew that if she
could just get in the atmosphere of the prophet, something
would come up. And so why I try not never
to miss church, whether I'm in, whether I'm in person,
(30:39):
whether I'm have to be online, whether I'm traveling. I
just tried to be in the house of God, because
you never know You never know when God's gonna dry.
You never know when you're appointing and your annoying, it's
gonna rise up, and he goes, that's for me. I'm
gonna make it. I got a calling. I remember twenty sixteen,
(31:01):
sitting right over that. This is the anointed section.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
If there, if the if the rapture happens, you go first,
because that's where I was sitting, right here with this
woman pointing at me.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
That's where I was sitting. And I was at inside
an elevation. I was sitting right there and they were
doing a conference for pastors. And it was there that
I got the green light from heaven to plant my church.
It was there that God said, don't plan an elevation church.
Don't don't try to be like Pastor Stephen be. You
go plant that church, go do what. It was there
that I got permission. It was there that God said
(31:30):
yes to my dream. I'm just telling you never know
when you come, Well, there's gonna be a lot of people,
and there's gonna be a lot of crowds, and I
don't know, and there's a night of worship. I'm gonna
have to wait and wait a lot ring a bottle
of water, ring a protein bought, bring a banana, get
(31:50):
the get to the House of God, because you just
never know. And by the way, some of you are
like when you when you really don't want to come
to church, that's when you need to come to church.
My best sermons are the sermons I don't want to preach.
And my most powerful encounters with God in the House
of God is when I didn't want to go, but
(32:12):
I chose to get into his presence, and that appointing
rows up. Two men I want to tell you about
very quickly, Victor Frankel and Sigmund Freud. Sigmund Freud was
a brilliant philosopher. He was an atheist. Sigmund Freud believed
(32:34):
that the chief end of man, the highest expression of man,
the thing that every man wants is they just want pleasure.
That if they can find pleasure and sexual pleasure, they're good.
That's all they want. And Frankel disagreed, and I disagree,
And I think you can look at our culture right
now and disagree, because we got a lot of pleasure,
(32:58):
not a lot of happiness. So so Frankel said, no,
I don't I don't think it's pleasure, he said. I
actually think what people want and what people really need
is purpose. But if you can't find your purpose, walking
your purpose, step into your purpose, you will numb yourself
(33:20):
and medicate yourself with pleasure. And I'm not against pleasure,
but you can't fall in love with it, because if
you make pleasure you're god. You'll never have enough. How
do I know I love it? You can't give it away?
(33:46):
This is my fifth time here. Can I just be
a little more? I said, all right? Can I just
let me just push you a little bit? Get the house,
drive the car, get the boat. I want you to
have a boat. I don't want a boat. I want
you to have a boat. And when I visit Charlotte,
I want to go on your boat for free. So
I want you to have a boat, but don't fall
in love with it. Give it a beautiful female name.
(34:08):
She won't love you back. You don't get because it's
not ultimately. Your life is not ultimately about pleasure. It's
about purpose. Can I say it this way? She could
have made her bread, and she would have died with
(34:29):
a full belly and an empty heart. She could have said,
knock on the next woman's door, and she could have
resisted her calling, but instead, in the presence of God,
she said yes. And it was in that yes that
(34:52):
the miracle began to happen. Lastly, you have to see
the possibility. See the possibility. The story starts with Elijah
walking into town and here's his request. Hey, Sis, that's
(35:14):
how it says in the Hebrew language, he says, Sis,
in the Hebrew. Y'all need to learn Hebrew. He says, hey, Sis,
can I have a piece of bread? Can I have
some bread? And she says, you already, I don't have bread.
(35:34):
Watch watch And she wasn't lying. She didn't have bread yet,
but she but she did have the ingredients for bread.
(36:02):
I don't have exactly what God's asking of me yet.
I don't have my miracle yet. I don't have the
answer yet. But maybe I have the ingredients for the miracle.
Can say it? Can I say it like this? Let
(36:23):
me say it like this. I preached forever that God
will never ask you for something you don't have, and
I still kind of believe that, and I kind of
disagree with that now because he asked for bread and
she didn't have it. But maybe what God wants from
you is not a thing. Maybe he wants a yes.
(36:49):
Maybe he doesn't need you to have bread, to ask
you for bread. Maybe you just give it your oil.
Because this is in this, in this is in this,
(37:12):
and I want to give God this. I want to
be all ready and I want to be all mature,
and I want to have it all worked out. And
I want to pray enough and fast enough, and talk
that tongues enough and not cuss anymore, and not that
I do. Don't judge me over here. I want to
I want to have every elevation worships song memorized, and
(37:35):
I see. I want to come into elevation when pastor
invites me, and I want to come in with bread.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Oh I'm glad you called. I got a word for
your church. But I ain't there yet.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I'm forty years old and I've been preaching for twenty
years and I'm still not there. Every time I get
the text, I look at God and I go, God,
you got a problem. So I walk up See, y'all,
you might think I walk up here feeling like Elijah.
I don't. I feel like the widow woman. I walk
(38:14):
up here, going God, can you do something with this.
Go ahead, Clay, Go ahead, Clay.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
God, I don't I don't have what I feel like
I need, but here's my oil. I don't have what
I feel like I need to raise these kids.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
But here's my oil. I don't know how to run
this business in this economy, but here's my oil.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I don't know how our marriage is gonna make it,
but here's my oil. I don't know how I'm gonna
start this business, but here's my oil. And God, I
don't feel like I have what I need to do
what you're requiring of me.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
But I but I do have some flower, and I
do have an annoying a And if you'll take what
I got, I'll just trust you to do something with it.
See God, God doesn't need what you need to get
(39:26):
you what you need. Man, God's asking this on me,
but I don't, So give him a yes. While you're
waiting on the thing you've told yourself you need, can
(39:46):
I prove it? Jesus. Jesus shows up to a wedding
with his with his best friends. They showed to a
wedding John chapter two, and and uh pretty much immediately,
pretty much immediately, Mary comes to Jesus and says, they're
out of wine. Jesasd go, why are you making this
my problem? I think she's making it his problem. Now, Okay.
(40:10):
I don't know if this is my sanctified imagination or
if I've just been in Vegas too long, but something
in me feels like Mary went. You know, we had
we had plenty of wine for the wedding until Judas
showed up and John got a little emotional and Peter
had to be the life of the party and fix it.
(40:34):
You know what Jesus does. Jesus does not say, you know, Peter,
go go grab some grapes from the local vineyards, bring
them to me. Hey, Judas, you got the money, go
go go over to Walmart and grab grab some cases
of wine. Jesus doesn't do that. Jesus says, can I
have some water? Can somebody get me some water. I
(41:01):
know nothing about fermentation. I know nothing about red wine,
but I do know this. I know that this can't
become red wine. But I ain't Jesus, because if you
want wine, you need time, and if you want wine,
(41:22):
you need grapes, and if you want wine you need
wooden berrels. But if Jesus wants wine all he needs
his vessels. I'm come to ask elevation.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
Can you see the wine in your water? Can you
see the super in your natural Can you see God's
abundance and you're not alone? Can you see what God
to do through a yes, through a surrender? Because maybe
God does not need Why do you need to get
(42:01):
to what's your name?
Speaker 4 (42:06):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (42:06):
I wish somebody would shut right now. I might not
have greats, I might not have barrels. I've run out
of time. But God, here's my water, here's my oil,
here's my flower.
Speaker 6 (42:22):
God, do something with the life. Well, come on, give
and praise everybody.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
Please passing post all, So who am I to deny anything?
Speaker 8 (42:45):
My Skillo lives up your hands every location de fam
around the worlds Oh he sound to Heaven to say anything?
Speaker 4 (42:53):
Many please passing in the home?
Speaker 1 (42:57):

Speaker 3 (43:21):
Okay, okay, okay, just stay standing. Yeah, thank you Lord,
I thank you Lord. Hallelujah. Somebody say hallelujah. Somebody shout
it's not over.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Nineteen fifty five, nineteen fifty five, nineteen fifty five, there's
a young preacher, pastor Larry. There's a young preacher name
Bobby Schuler. Bob.
Speaker 9 (43:54):
Little Bobby was a pastor in Iowa, David, and he
wanted to come to Orange County, California and start a
work for God.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
So he wrote a letter to a friend in his
denomination and said, I feel like the Lord has put
it on my heart to start a church nineteen fifty five.
Could you help me find a location I would love?
Maybe a school, gym, or a Seventh Day Advantaged church,
maybe a Jewish synagogue, maybe a church that doesn't meet
on Sunday night. Maybe a movie theater, maybe a drive
(44:29):
in theater, maybe a school that we could rent. Could
you help me find a location? And a young Bob
Schuler's friend wrote this letter back, Boh, this is not Iowa,
this is Orange County, California. It is impossible to find
(44:54):
a church location in Orange County, California. Bob received that letter,
crumpled it up, he threw it in the trash. He
grabbed a fresh piece of paper, and he wrote down
these words impossible quotation marks. What an irresponsible word, Bob, go,
(45:19):
that's gangster Bob and a young Bob Schuler would move
to Orange County with nothing. He ended up starting a
church in a drive in movie theater where he would
stand on the snackshack preached to a microphone, and then
it would go to all the cars. And that church
(45:40):
grew in the fifties to two thousand cars a Sunday.
He would end up buying property all over that Anaheim
area near Disneyland, with property upwards of over a billion
dollars of real estate. He started the Crystal Cathedral the
Hour of Power every Sunday morning. He became the late
(46:06):
Great Doctor Robert Schuler. Impossible What an irresponsible word. I
don't know what you're facing, but I've come to declare
anything is possible. I don't know what the doctor said,
(46:29):
but I've come to tell you all things are possible.
I don't know what the school counselor told you about
your child, but I've just come to tell you. Impossible.
What an irresponsible word. What could God do if you
would invite him into your famine? What could God do
if you would invite him into your drought? What could
(46:50):
God do if you would give him your water? If
you would give him your flower if you would give
him your oil. Can we just say this.
Speaker 6 (46:57):
One more time all over the room and let's the
clearing with all of our heart.
Speaker 8 (47:02):
Anything, anything is possible, Cliver, Look, anything is possible.
Speaker 4 (47:16):
Anything anything up? Am I?
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Jo?
Speaker 3 (47:33):
You're not done with me? Yeah, you're not done with me? Yeah,
because there's so much more to the store. You're not
done with me.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
You're not done with me.
Speaker 3 (47:56):
I dare you to prophesy right now with me? Every husband,
grab your white's hands. Tell them God's still working on me.
God still gotta playing park family.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
So you are marine you to this that He's not done.
Speaker 4 (48:15):
You're not done.
Speaker 6 (48:21):

Speaker 7 (48:34):
You're not done with me?
Speaker 4 (48:38):
Whoa you're not doing with me? There's not.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
So Jo're not dun me. I just want to ask,
at every location which you close your eyes about your heads,
thank you Lord, every location, even if you can epham
around the world, would you just settle your heart for
a moment. I want to ask you the most important
(49:09):
question you've ever been asked in your life. Do you
know Jesus? Are you right with God? Do you know
Him for yourself? I know you know about him. I
know you know him through Pastor Stephen, but do you
know him. I know you know him through the songs,
(49:31):
and I know you know him through this ministry, But
do you know him? Have you had a moment where
you've said, Jesus, I need you in my life. I
need forgiveness of sin. I need to be born. I
can't not to become a better version, but a brand
(49:52):
new creation. The scripture says anyone who calls on his
name would be saved. Anyone who would say, Jesus, I
believe you died for me. I believe you rose again
for me. I believe that you are Lord. Anyone who
would call on his name right now, would you surrender
(50:13):
your heart? Javon, I'm gonna. I'm gonna work on this
and I'll come back at the end of the summer. No,
let me, let me let me stop drinking, let me
stop cussing, let me let me stop, let me get
this hatred out of my heart, let me let me
get off drugs. Let me let me work it out
with my wife, and then I'm gonna come back and
we're gonna and I'm gonna make it right with God. No, no, no,
you can't. If you could, you would have. But you
(50:35):
you cannot do it. But God can do it. I
need Jesus. You're about to pray the prayer I pray.
June ten, nineteen ninety eight, in Del Rio, Texas. I
was fifteen years old and I gave Jesus my life.
And when I did, everything changed. All over this room,
every location, Pray with me from your heart. These aren't
(51:00):
magic words, I promise you. This is not an incantation.
This is not this is not some abracadabra say something that. No, no,
this is your heart. Cry to Heaven. Pray with me,
say Jesus, I believe in you. I believe you died
for me. Then he rose again. Forgive me of my
(51:24):
sins for the things I've done, and make me brand new. Jesus.
I make you my lord and my savior. I surrender
all today. Thank you, Lord, Jesus. Keep your eyes closed
all over this room, all over this rooms, keep your
(51:44):
eyes closed. I can't call you forward, I can't have
you moved from your seat. I've run out of time.
But right where you're standing, at every location and even online,
I'm gonna want you to go into the chat and
make a commitment to Christ. But at every location, on
(52:06):
the count of three, I'm gonna ask you to raise
your hand. If that was your prayer, Jabin, today, I'm
giving my life to Christ. Jabin. Today, I'm recommitting my
life to Christ. I've walked away from God. I've turned
from God. I got distracted, I got discouraged, I got tempted.
I went through a trial and a tribulation, and I
walked away from the Lord. But today I'm coming home. Today,
(52:29):
I've come back. Today, I'm running back to the God
who's been chasing me. I'm giving my life to Jesus.
Or I'm recommitting my life to Christ. If that's you,
on the counter of three, right here at Valentine and
at every location and around the world, you're gonna say
yes to Jesus. Right now, I'm giving my life to Christ.
Rededicating my life to Christ. On the counter three, I

great to see a great job with man. The youth
ministries just incredible. Let's go right to the word. I'm
I'm I'm fired up. We're gonna go to First Kings seventeen.
I got a lot to say, so I want to
(02:55):
go to the word First King Chapter seventeen. While you're
turning there. If you don't have a Bible, don't worry
to come up on the screen. But if you do,
go ahead and turn with me. I do want to
bring greetings from Las Vegas. We started City Light Church
six years ago and God is just really blessing and
breathing on that work. And I'm grateful. And if you're
(03:17):
if you're ever in Vegas, don't laugh. Hey, y'all guilty.
I don't know what happened at every other location, but
it's a real little naughty smile that just filled the whole.
I don't know why you come to Vegas. I think
you come to Street of Angelism. Amen. Uh, you're you're,
(03:41):
you're all the people with the signs right on the
strip preaching you reach out to the blackjack dealers, Amen
and to. I don't know why you come, but if you,
if you're ever in Vegas, come say hi. I'd love
to see you and uh to uh love to see
you in church on a Sunday morning, First King's Chapter seventeen.
(04:02):
Then the Lord said to Elijah, anybody grateful that God
speaks Hallelujah, go and live in the village of Zaraphath,
near the city of Sedon. I've instructed a widow there
to feed you. So he went to Zarafath. As he
arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a
widow gathering sticks there, and he asked her, would you
(04:25):
bring me a little cup of water? And as she
was going to get it, he called to her, I love,
this is the most man move in the Bible. Y
Already every husband and wife knows this move right here.
And can you get me a little snack? Jesus gamelo, babe.
Can you get me a little a little bread, Get
(04:46):
me a little sandwich, babe? She said, I swear by
the Lord your God, I don't even have a single
piece of bread in this house. I only have a
handful of flour left in a jar, and a little
cooking oil left in the bottom of this jug. I
was just gathering sticks to cook the last meal, and
then my son and I will die. Elijah said to her,
(05:07):
don't be afraid. Go do what you've said, but make
a little bread for me first. This is amazing that
God did not say, make one big piece of bread,
cut it three ways, and we'll all have a peace.
He said, make mine first, because when you put God
first in your life. I have to believe that every
(05:28):
time I put God first in my life, a miracle
is happening in the kitchen. So he said, make mine first,
then use what's left over to prepare a meal for
you and your son. For this is what the Lord,
the God of Israel, says. There will always be flour
and olive oil left in your containers until the time
(05:48):
when the Lord sends rain and the crops grow again.
So she did as Elijah said. She and Elijah and
her family continue to eat for many days. There was
always enough. Man.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I love this about God. There was always enough flower.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
And olive oil left in the containers, just as the
Lord had promised through Elijah. I want to just look
at verse twelve very quickly, and then we're gonna We're
going to dismantle a lie that she believed. I'm gonna
eat this meal and die. And it's here that Elijah
(06:26):
comes with a different word, faith word, hope word, God word,
a prophetic word. And I want to come with that.
I want to I want to contradict the devil. Today.
I've come to disagree with the demons that have been
lying to you. I've got good news for you today,
(06:49):
and I want to I want to speak from this idea.
It's not over, It's not over. Can you can you
just maybe elbow who's next to you, make them a
little uncomfortable, tell them it's not over. Come on, tell
a come on online around the world.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Tell him it's not over. It's not over. Do y'all
believe it today?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Give the Lord one more shout of praise, and we're
going to get into this word. Bless your word, Lord,
in Jesus's name, Amen and Amen. Prophets in the Old
Testament are called seers, seers see r s. They are seers.
They see. We think of prophets as speaking, and they do.
(07:30):
But before they would say a thing, they would see
a thing. God would take them up into the spirit realm.
Pastor preached about trainces last week and about Peter getting
caught up into the spirit. He would he would take
prophets up into the spirit, and he would say, Ezekiel,
what do you see, Jeremiah, what do you see? Isaiah?
What do you tell me what you see? And then
(07:52):
they would say what they saw. Because it was very
important for God to communicate that there is more going
on than meets the natural eye. Oh, I'm trying to
slow down already, but I'm I already feel like preaching,
and I just started. He's trying to tell them that
(08:14):
there's more than the five senses, There's more than the natural,
There's more than what your eyes can see. There is
a spiritual realm, there is a spiritual place, there is
an element called faith. In that place, in the Kingdom place,
in the God place, nothing is impossible. So he has
to get them to see that there's more to see
(08:37):
than what they see, and then they are to say
what they see in the spirit realm because God knows something.
God knows that if you can get a vision from
God and a word from God, you become unstoppable. That
when I get a vision from God and a word
from God, nothing is impossible. That though the giants are great,
(09:00):
I have a word from God, and though the mountains
are high, I have a word from God. And though
my kids are acting crazy right now, I got a
word from God. And though I don't even know where
my spouse was last night, I got a word from God.
And though I don't know how I'm gonna pay the bills,
I got a vision from God. And what I see
right now with my eyes does not look like what
(09:21):
I saw in the spirit. But if I can get
a vision, I can make it. Because without a vision,
the people perish, They lose control, they lose hope, they
lose all of their hope. But with a vision, I
can make it. This is what happened to Elisha and
(09:41):
second Kings when the enemy surround Elisha and his servant,
and his servant comes to him and says, my Lord,
we're surrounded by enemies. And Elisha prays, and Elisha does
not pray, God help us. Elisha does not pray, God,
where are you. Elisha does not pray, God, we need
a vis Elisha prays, not for himself or against his enemies.
(10:04):
Elisha prays for his servant. And here's his prayer. And
I don't think his servant was expecting it. Lord, open
his eyes, because he thinks we have an enemy problem.
But he has a vision problem. You think you got
a devil problem. You got a vision problem. You think
you got a demon problem. You got a vision problem.
(10:25):
You might think you got a boss problem. Maybe you
have a vision problem. You might think you got a
wife problem, Sir, Maybe you have a vision problem because
once God opens my eyes. I can now see what's
God open my eyes, so I don't live my entire
life sing with these but never see what You're doing
(10:47):
in my life, or I will end up praying the
wrong prayers, go into the wrong places, hang in with
the wrong people, singing the wrong songs. But if God
can open my eyes, I can do everything what God's
called me to do. I think we ought to give
God a praise right there, because that's the power of
this church. That's the power of every song we sing.
(11:09):
That's the power of doing a new You is that
I can now see from Heaven's perspective. I remember the
first time my little daughter realized we were in an
airplane as she looked out the window and the world
started to get his own small And she goes, Dad,
the car the people are small, Dad, the mountains are small.
(11:34):
And I go they didn't get any smaller, You just
got higher. I'm telling you, God, God can take you
somewhere where you see and where you hear, and where
you say something radically different. And it's here that God
(11:56):
helps this woman to see. It's here that God helps
this woman to hear a better word, It's it's here
that she catches a vision for herself or her family
and for the famine that she finds herself in it.
I believe today, this is a vision day. I believe
God's gonna release sight today. Firstly, you have to see
(12:22):
your future. You have to see your future. The woman says,
I'm gonna eat this meal and die. Wow, put that
on your dream board. Huh, that's a that's an awkward
Instagram post. But this is what she believed. This is
(12:44):
what she thought. Let me let me let me say
the obvious that maybe even ever thought about. She did
not know that. She didn't know it'd be her last meal.
She didn't have a weather app on her phone. She
didn't know if God was in the sin rain tomorrow.
She didn't know if someone was gonna bring her food
(13:04):
in the morning. She didn't know she was in the
presence of a prophet. She had no idea about her future,
but she was predicting her future based off of the
worst case scenario. I'm gonna eat this meal and die.
She didn't know that. And every time we speak from
(13:25):
a spirit of fear, we are declaring the worst case scenario,
even though we don't know. See, this is fear. Fear
is not always frighted. Fear is not always this feeling
of panic like we think. Fear is it's over. Fear
is I guess the famine wand Fear is I tried
(13:48):
and failed. Fear is I guess this is my last meal.
Fear doesn't feel like what you think is gonna feel like.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I know this because since i'veted our church six years ago,
I've had three panic attacks. Now, I didn't have panic
attacks before I planted the church. Before I planted the church,
I was an evangelist, I preached, I traveled, and I
lived in Newport Beach, California. Amen, it was just you
don't have panic attacks in Newport Beach. You just everybody's
(14:21):
a Christian. The dolphins are saved. You go see them
out swimming, speaking in tongues, you know. I mean, it's
like it's anointed. Everybody's smiling, or at least has enough boatox.
It looks like they're smiling the other everybody's happy, everybody's
got tan. Life was good. And then I moved to
Sin City and I planted this church. I thought I
(14:45):
was having a heart attack. Three times I thought I
was having a heart attack. I'd go into the emergency room.
Hi are you good? Good good? I'm good. I see
a sign in sir, what's wrong. I'm dying. I'm having
a heart attack. Man, they freak out. They get you
to the front of the line. I mean it goes
into code ight. By the way, if you ever want
to get to the front of an ear no, never mind,
don't do that. But I was just telling you. I mean,
(15:08):
they get you. I mean it's like it's twenty minutes
in Mayhem. They're taking blood, they're putting a little electrical things
all over. I mean it's they're freaking out for twenty minutes,
and all of a sudden, boom, they're gone. And there
I am just sitting there in a in a gown
for an hour in a cold room. The breeze is
(15:30):
blowing in places I didn't know I had, and the
doctor walks in.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Mister Tavis, I got good news and I got bad news.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
The good news is you are not having a heart attack.
The bad news is you're having a panic attack. You're depressed,
I said number one, I am having a heart attack.
I feel like a like an elephants on my chest.
I can I can feel my heart. I can't breathe.
I know because you now you have a panic. All
(16:00):
the numbers are good grabbing a panic attack, and it
felt like I was dying. But really I was just
so fearful of my future that I told myself this
must be it. But I've come to declare to somebody
at Elevation Church today, it's not over. This is not
(16:25):
your last meal. This is not the end of the
road for you. This is not how it ends, This
is not your last year. This is not how it
ends for you. God is still writing your story. Oh
can I get a good amen? In the House of
the Lord. See fear lies, Fear lies to you, and
(16:56):
fear assumes and declares the worst case scenario you. Fear
tries to predict my tomorrow by the challenges of yesterday.
She judged her future by the drought that she's been in,
and she cursed her tomorrow based off of the pain
(17:19):
of her past. I understand there's challenges in this room.
I understand there's pain in this room. I understand there
are very hard seasons in this room, in every room,
people watching all over the world and you going. But
you don't know what what I'm going through but I
want to declare a truth over you. Your past is
(17:43):
not your prophecy. Oh I felt that, am I sanctified soul.
Just because it's been one way doesn't mean it will
always be that way. Just because I've been in a
season doesn't mean that sea and last. Every season changes.
The storm can't last forever. Eventually God will make it
(18:07):
rain again. Eventually, the trout ends. Eventually things can chain.
Your past is not your prophecy, It is not my prediction.
It is a real part of my story, but it's
not the end of my story. It's a chapter in
my book, but it's not the final chapter of my book.
(18:27):
Let me tell you some about about the enemy of
your soul. Let me tell you some about the devil.
The devil is a is a present devil. Let me
say it like this. He is. He roams around like
a lion seeking whom he made divide. He is, he is,
(18:48):
He's present. This is radically different than the God that
you serve. They're not in some crazy cosmic battle. They're
not armor sling for your soul. Don't don't worry about it,
because because God is radically different. God is everywhere. Oh
(19:11):
God was, do I have a scholar in the house,
and he and he is and he is to come,
which means that God is in your past. God is
working in your future, and God God is preparing you
in your present. God is all places at once. Paul
(19:33):
said about Jesus that he feels time and space, that
he's here, and he's there, and he's everywhere, all at
the same time. This is good news because see, when
the enemy speaks to you, he can only speak to
you in your present. I'm going somewhere. He doesn't know
your future. He speaks to you in your today, and
(20:01):
he lies to you about tomorrow, and he hopes you
believe it.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
But his guess is as good as yours. So he
whispers in the woman's ear, this is your last meal.
You're gonna die. You go listen my last meal. I'm
gonna die. He don't know that, just like she don't
know that. This is radically different than God. God establishes
the end.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
From the beginning. He starts in your future. He doesn't
guess about your tomorrow. Oh, this is good news. This
means that when God gives you a promise, he's not guessing.
Am I helping anybody right now? He doesn't go. I
(20:52):
hope it works out. I got good plains for you.
Let's see, he said, as I know the plans that
I have for you, they are plans to give you
a hope. Can we get a little rowdy at this
first service of the day. I'm talking to somebody of
(21:13):
what God talks to you. He talks to you.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
From your future into your present, and he says.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Come on over to this side.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I've got good plans. I've got a good and he's
not hoping it happens. He knows it'll happen. Oh, this
is so different. This is the God you serve. This
is the God who gives you promises. This is the
God we sing about. He knows exactly what he's doing
(21:52):
and he's got good plans for you. Jesus talks about
a spirit.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
In the last Day. He talks about a mentality that
would fill the earth in the last days. Luke twenty
one says that the people will be terrified. How you know,
that's just like the spirit of the world just scared.
(22:20):
It is the world scared today that it was one
hundred years ago. I'm not sure. But now we got
these little phones, y'all know what I'm saying, and you
wake up in the morning and you turn them on
and it tells you. That phone tells you the worst.
So we're terrified because one hundred years ago, they didn't
know there was a tornado in Nebraska and an earthquake
in Japan and a war in the Middle League. They
(22:43):
didn't know. They were just living their life. But now
we have twenty four hour access to news, and good
news doesn't sell, only bad news sells. So it's constant
bad news, and we are feeding and it become addicted
to bad news. We've become addicted to concern, we become
(23:04):
addicted to panic, and now we feed on it twenty
four hours a day. And Jesus said, this would be
the tone, this would be the spirit, this would be
the stronghold, this would be the mentality of the world's system.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
That fear would grip us. We would be terrorized, terrified. Oh,
but there is another spirit. For the child of God.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I want to declare to you that the opposite of
fear is not faith. The opposite of fear is the
Holy Spirit. Ha ha. Because the Spirit of God is
not a spirit of fear, but he is power, love,
and a sound mind. And there is another spirit for
(23:51):
the people of God. At chapter two, verse seventeen, God says,
in the last days, see this is the last day scripture.
Preachers don't preach about. But this is my favorite Last
Day scripture. And by the way, it's the clearest Last
Day scripture in the Bible. In the last days, i
will pour out my spirit on all flesh. I'm gonna
pour out my spirit on your sons and your daughters.
(24:11):
I've got a plan for your children. I've got a
plan for families. I've got a plan for your six
year old, and I've got a plan for your sixteen
year old. I've got a plan for your mayor. I
got a plan for families.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh, and.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
You will prophesy, and you will see dreams, and you
will have visions. And when the spirit of God comes
upon you, he he removes the fear. You will not
allow it in your soul. God can turn it around
(24:48):
for you. It's not over. This is not your last meal.
I want you to see. I want you to see
your future. I want you to see like God sees it.
They shall prophesy, he said, prophecy. That's not that's not
just closing your eyes and speaking in King James English.
(25:12):
It's talking like God talks. It's getting a word for
your family. It's getting a word for your future. It's
getting a word for your business. It's speaking about tomorrow
like God speaks about tomorrow. Number two, you have to
see your calling. I have I have instructed, I have
(25:37):
commanded a widow there. I have I have commanded a
widow there, I have instructed a widow there. I don't
know if you if you think about this language, but
it feels like it feels like Elijah is going to
walk into the village and and say, hey, I'm here,
(26:00):
and she's gonna go, omg, it's you. You're the guy.
I was in prayer and the Lord talked to me
about you. He's given me an instruction. He's given me
a commandment. Come on in. I got bread, bacon, I
got water in the jug. Let's go, come on, come
in heat. God's been talking to me. That's what happens.
He walks into town and she has no idea who
(26:20):
he is. And I think the reason is this because
this word instructed isn't the best English word, the better
word from the Hebrew language that it was written in.
Is I have appointed a woman there, I have chosen
(26:41):
for special use. I have anointed a woman there, and
she thinks she's gonna die, but she's anointed. She's given
up on her future, but she's appointed. She has no
(27:04):
more hope, but my calling is on her. She thinks
it's the end for her and for her family, but
she has no idea that my hand is upon her.
Some of you are in a very low place right now.
Some of you think this must be the end of
the road. I've tried everything, but I guess the drought
want No, there's an annoying on your light. There's a
(27:25):
calling on your life. You have been chosen for special use. Hey,
you don't even know it. Because see, Elijah had an
anoying on his life that she needed. But listen, she
had an annoying on her life that he needed. They
(27:45):
both had oil.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Why do you always asking me to serve in this
church because you have oil? Why do I got to
lead an e group because you have oil? Why do
you want me serving in the house because you got oil?
Why are they pushing next year ministry? I don't feel
I hold in a baby. You got oil? We need
you in the youth ministry.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
We need we need you in the children's ministry, we
need you serving in a ministry. We need you using
your gifts telling. And I know you're at a low point,
but we need you in the.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
House of God, because there's actually oil that this house needs.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
She thought it was over. God was anointing her. Oh,
and I've been there. I have been at places where
I've been so lone, but I said yes to my gift. Anyway,
one time I was preaching for my friend, and I
preach preacher preaching. I preach pretty good. I gotta be honest.
(28:54):
I don't like all my sermons. I like that one.
And I was in a low place. I didn't want
to be there. I wanted to cancel, but I preached,
and we got off. We got off the stage, and
we went to dinner, and my friend looked at me
and said, boy, you must be going through it. I said,
say last, I said no, I said what I said,
What Why lest I be going through it? He goes
(29:15):
because you preach good. He said.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
You preach like you were dying. You preach, you preach
like this was your last servant. You preach like you
were giving.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
It your all. I said, I am going through it, and.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I'm so grateful that even in my lowest moments, I've
got oil on my life. There's a gift on my life,
and there's a gift on your life.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And if we need you right now, it is not
time to quit. It's not time to leave. It's not
time for you to die. God's oil is on your
Come on, somebody's out. I'm anointed. Come on, sap somebody
a high five. Tell them you're anointed. They needed each
(29:57):
other's annoying to be sustained through the trought I've appointed.
It was almost like God knew that if she got
in the atmosphere of the prophetic. Sorry, my pentecostal just
(30:18):
showed I try to keep it. I know I'm that
all of a I'm trying to behave right now. That
organ doesn't help. It's like he knew that if she
could just get in the atmosphere of the prophet, something
would come up. And so why I try not never
to miss church, whether I'm in, whether I'm in person,
(30:39):
whether I'm have to be online, whether I'm traveling. I
just tried to be in the house of God, because
you never know You never know when God's gonna dry.
You never know when you're appointing and your annoying, it's
gonna rise up, and he goes, that's for me. I'm
gonna make it. I got a calling. I remember twenty sixteen,
(31:01):
sitting right over that. This is the anointed section.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
If there, if the if the rapture happens, you go first,
because that's where I was sitting, right here with this
woman pointing at me.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
That's where I was sitting. And I was at inside
an elevation. I was sitting right there and they were
doing a conference for pastors. And it was there that
I got the green light from heaven to plant my church.
It was there that God said, don't plan an elevation church.
Don't don't try to be like Pastor Stephen be. You
go plant that church, go do what. It was there
that I got permission. It was there that God said
(31:30):
yes to my dream. I'm just telling you never know
when you come, Well, there's gonna be a lot of people,
and there's gonna be a lot of crowds, and I
don't know, and there's a night of worship. I'm gonna
have to wait and wait a lot ring a bottle
of water, ring a protein bought, bring a banana, get
(31:50):
the get to the House of God, because you just
never know. And by the way, some of you are
like when you when you really don't want to come
to church, that's when you need to come to church.
My best sermons are the sermons I don't want to preach.
And my most powerful encounters with God in the House
of God is when I didn't want to go, but
(32:12):
I chose to get into his presence, and that appointing
rows up. Two men I want to tell you about
very quickly, Victor Frankel and Sigmund Freud. Sigmund Freud was
a brilliant philosopher. He was an atheist. Sigmund Freud believed
(32:34):
that the chief end of man, the highest expression of man,
the thing that every man wants is they just want pleasure.
That if they can find pleasure and sexual pleasure, they're good.
That's all they want. And Frankel disagreed, and I disagree,
And I think you can look at our culture right
now and disagree, because we got a lot of pleasure,
(32:58):
not a lot of happiness. So so Frankel said, no,
I don't I don't think it's pleasure, he said. I
actually think what people want and what people really need
is purpose. But if you can't find your purpose, walking
your purpose, step into your purpose, you will numb yourself
(33:20):
and medicate yourself with pleasure. And I'm not against pleasure,
but you can't fall in love with it, because if
you make pleasure you're god. You'll never have enough. How
do I know I love it? You can't give it away?
(33:46):
This is my fifth time here. Can I just be
a little more? I said, all right? Can I just
let me just push you a little bit? Get the house,
drive the car, get the boat. I want you to
have a boat. I don't want a boat. I want
you to have a boat. And when I visit Charlotte,
I want to go on your boat for free. So
I want you to have a boat, but don't fall
in love with it. Give it a beautiful female name.
(34:08):
She won't love you back. You don't get because it's
not ultimately. Your life is not ultimately about pleasure. It's
about purpose. Can I say it this way? She could
have made her bread, and she would have died with
(34:29):
a full belly and an empty heart. She could have said,
knock on the next woman's door, and she could have
resisted her calling, but instead, in the presence of God,
she said yes. And it was in that yes that
(34:52):
the miracle began to happen. Lastly, you have to see
the possibility. See the possibility. The story starts with Elijah
walking into town and here's his request. Hey, Sis, that's
(35:14):
how it says in the Hebrew language, he says, Sis,
in the Hebrew. Y'all need to learn Hebrew. He says, hey, Sis,
can I have a piece of bread? Can I have
some bread? And she says, you already, I don't have bread.
(35:34):
Watch watch And she wasn't lying. She didn't have bread yet,
but she but she did have the ingredients for bread.
(36:02):
I don't have exactly what God's asking of me yet.
I don't have my miracle yet. I don't have the
answer yet. But maybe I have the ingredients for the miracle.
Can say it? Can I say it like this? Let
(36:23):
me say it like this. I preached forever that God
will never ask you for something you don't have, and
I still kind of believe that, and I kind of
disagree with that now because he asked for bread and
she didn't have it. But maybe what God wants from
you is not a thing. Maybe he wants a yes.
(36:49):
Maybe he doesn't need you to have bread, to ask
you for bread. Maybe you just give it your oil.
Because this is in this, in this is in this,
(37:12):
and I want to give God this. I want to
be all ready and I want to be all mature,
and I want to have it all worked out. And
I want to pray enough and fast enough, and talk
that tongues enough and not cuss anymore, and not that
I do. Don't judge me over here. I want to
I want to have every elevation worships song memorized, and
(37:35):
I see. I want to come into elevation when pastor
invites me, and I want to come in with bread.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Oh I'm glad you called. I got a word for
your church. But I ain't there yet.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I'm forty years old and I've been preaching for twenty
years and I'm still not there. Every time I get
the text, I look at God and I go, God,
you got a problem. So I walk up See, y'all,
you might think I walk up here feeling like Elijah.
I don't. I feel like the widow woman. I walk
(38:14):
up here, going God, can you do something with this.
Go ahead, Clay, Go ahead, Clay.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
God, I don't I don't have what I feel like
I need, but here's my oil. I don't have what
I feel like I need to raise these kids.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
But here's my oil. I don't know how to run
this business in this economy, but here's my oil.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I don't know how our marriage is gonna make it,
but here's my oil. I don't know how I'm gonna
start this business, but here's my oil. And God, I
don't feel like I have what I need to do
what you're requiring of me.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
But I but I do have some flower, and I
do have an annoying a And if you'll take what
I got, I'll just trust you to do something with it.
See God, God doesn't need what you need to get
(39:26):
you what you need. Man, God's asking this on me,
but I don't, So give him a yes. While you're
waiting on the thing you've told yourself you need, can
(39:46):
I prove it? Jesus. Jesus shows up to a wedding
with his with his best friends. They showed to a
wedding John chapter two, and and uh pretty much immediately,
pretty much immediately, Mary comes to Jesus and says, they're
out of wine. Jesasd go, why are you making this
my problem? I think she's making it his problem. Now, Okay.
(40:10):
I don't know if this is my sanctified imagination or
if I've just been in Vegas too long, but something
in me feels like Mary went. You know, we had
we had plenty of wine for the wedding until Judas
showed up and John got a little emotional and Peter
had to be the life of the party and fix it.
(40:34):
You know what Jesus does. Jesus does not say, you know, Peter,
go go grab some grapes from the local vineyards, bring
them to me. Hey, Judas, you got the money, go
go go over to Walmart and grab grab some cases
of wine. Jesus doesn't do that. Jesus says, can I
have some water? Can somebody get me some water. I
(41:01):
know nothing about fermentation. I know nothing about red wine,
but I do know this. I know that this can't
become red wine. But I ain't Jesus, because if you
want wine, you need time, and if you want wine,
(41:22):
you need grapes, and if you want wine you need
wooden berrels. But if Jesus wants wine all he needs
his vessels. I'm come to ask elevation.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
Can you see the wine in your water? Can you
see the super in your natural Can you see God's
abundance and you're not alone? Can you see what God
to do through a yes, through a surrender? Because maybe
God does not need Why do you need to get
(42:01):
to what's your name?
Speaker 4 (42:06):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (42:06):
I wish somebody would shut right now. I might not
have greats, I might not have barrels. I've run out
of time. But God, here's my water, here's my oil,
here's my flower.
Speaker 6 (42:22):
God, do something with the life. Well, come on, give
and praise everybody.

Yes, it's for your glory and me take my lossing off?
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Okay, okay, okay, just stay standing. Yeah, thank you Lord,
I thank you Lord. Hallelujah. Somebody say hallelujah. Somebody shout
it's not over.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Nineteen fifty five, nineteen fifty five, nineteen fifty five, there's
a young preacher, pastor Larry. There's a young preacher name
Bobby Schuler. Bob.
Speaker 9 (43:54):
Little Bobby was a pastor in Iowa, David, and he
wanted to come to Orange County, California and start a
work for God.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
So he wrote a letter to a friend in his
denomination and said, I feel like the Lord has put
it on my heart to start a church nineteen fifty five.
Could you help me find a location I would love?
Maybe a school, gym, or a Seventh Day Advantaged church,
maybe a Jewish synagogue, maybe a church that doesn't meet
on Sunday night. Maybe a movie theater, maybe a drive
(44:29):
in theater, maybe a school that we could rent. Could
you help me find a location? And a young Bob
Schuler's friend wrote this letter back, Boh, this is not Iowa,
this is Orange County, California. It is impossible to find
(44:54):
a church location in Orange County, California. Bob received that letter,
crumpled it up, he threw it in the trash. He
grabbed a fresh piece of paper, and he wrote down
these words impossible quotation marks. What an irresponsible word, Bob, go,
(45:19):
that's gangster Bob and a young Bob Schuler would move
to Orange County with nothing. He ended up starting a
church in a drive in movie theater where he would
stand on the snackshack preached to a microphone, and then
it would go to all the cars. And that church
(45:40):
grew in the fifties to two thousand cars a Sunday.
He would end up buying property all over that Anaheim
area near Disneyland, with property upwards of over a billion
dollars of real estate. He started the Crystal Cathedral the
Hour of Power every Sunday morning. He became the late
(46:06):
Great Doctor Robert Schuler. Impossible What an irresponsible word. I
don't know what you're facing, but I've come to declare
anything is possible. I don't know what the doctor said,
(46:29):
but I've come to tell you all things are possible.
I don't know what the school counselor told you about
your child, but I've just come to tell you. Impossible.
What an irresponsible word. What could God do if you
would invite him into your famine? What could God do
if you would invite him into your drought? What could
(46:50):
God do if you would give him your water? If
you would give him your flower if you would give
him your oil. Can we just say this.
Speaker 6 (46:57):
One more time all over the room and let's the
clearing with all of our heart.
Speaker 8 (47:02):
Anything, anything is possible, Cliver, Look, anything is possible.
Speaker 4 (47:16):
Anything anything up? Am I?
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Jo?
Speaker 3 (47:33):
You're not done with me? Yeah, you're not done with me? Yeah,
because there's so much more to the store. You're not
done with me.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
You're not done with me.
Speaker 3 (47:56):
I dare you to prophesy right now with me? Every husband,
grab your white's hands. Tell them God's still working on me.
God still gotta playing park family.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
So you are marine you to this that He's not done.
Speaker 4 (48:15):
You're not done.
Speaker 6 (48:21):
I feel my God is wiving gonads. Just Jo're not
done with.
Speaker 4 (48:32):
You're not done.
Speaker 7 (48:34):
You're not done with me?
Speaker 4 (48:38):
Whoa you're not doing with me? There's not.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
So Jo're not dun me. I just want to ask,
at every location which you close your eyes about your heads,
thank you Lord, every location, even if you can epham
around the world, would you just settle your heart for
a moment. I want to ask you the most important
(49:09):
question you've ever been asked in your life. Do you
know Jesus? Are you right with God? Do you know
Him for yourself? I know you know about him. I
know you know him through Pastor Stephen, but do you
know him. I know you know him through the songs,
(49:31):
and I know you know him through this ministry, But
do you know him? Have you had a moment where
you've said, Jesus, I need you in my life. I
need forgiveness of sin. I need to be born. I
can't not to become a better version, but a brand
(49:52):
new creation. The scripture says anyone who calls on his
name would be saved. Anyone who would say, Jesus, I
believe you died for me. I believe you rose again
for me. I believe that you are Lord. Anyone who
would call on his name right now, would you surrender
(50:13):
your heart? Javon, I'm gonna. I'm gonna work on this
and I'll come back at the end of the summer. No,
let me, let me let me stop drinking, let me
stop cussing, let me let me stop, let me get
this hatred out of my heart, let me let me
get off drugs. Let me let me work it out
with my wife, and then I'm gonna come back and
we're gonna and I'm gonna make it right with God. No, no, no,
you can't. If you could, you would have. But you
(50:35):
you cannot do it. But God can do it. I
need Jesus. You're about to pray the prayer I pray.
June ten, nineteen ninety eight, in Del Rio, Texas. I
was fifteen years old and I gave Jesus my life.
And when I did, everything changed. All over this room,
every location, Pray with me from your heart. These aren't
(51:00):
magic words, I promise you. This is not an incantation.
This is not this is not some abracadabra say something that. No, no,
this is your heart. Cry to Heaven. Pray with me,
say Jesus, I believe in you. I believe you died
for me. Then he rose again. Forgive me of my
(51:24):
sins for the things I've done, and make me brand new. Jesus.
I make you my lord and my savior. I surrender
all today. Thank you, Lord, Jesus. Keep your eyes closed
all over this room, all over this rooms, keep your
(51:44):
eyes closed. I can't call you forward, I can't have
you moved from your seat. I've run out of time.
But right where you're standing, at every location and even online,
I'm gonna want you to go into the chat and
make a commitment to Christ. But at every location, on
(52:06):
the count of three, I'm gonna ask you to raise
your hand. If that was your prayer, Jabin, today, I'm
giving my life to Christ. Jabin. Today, I'm recommitting my
life to Christ. I've walked away from God. I've turned
from God. I got distracted, I got discouraged, I got tempted.
I went through a trial and a tribulation, and I
walked away from the Lord. But today I'm coming home. Today,
(52:29):
I've come back. Today, I'm running back to the God
who's been chasing me. I'm giving my life to Jesus.
Or I'm recommitting my life to Christ. If that's you,
on the counter of three, right here at Valentine and
at every location and around the world, you're gonna say
yes to Jesus. Right now, I'm giving my life to Christ.
Rededicating my life to Christ. On the counter three, I

want to see your hand one, two, three, shoot your
hand uf all over, all, over, all over, I see him. God,
