Shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Well, I didn’t hear that; shout it like you really mean it – Hallelujah!

Amen, Amen; AMEN!

To our Overseer and his precious wife; I am deeply, deeply honoured to be with you all tonight, in this your 67th Convention.

And I have enjoyed this week – the Teachings and the Pastors, and Ministers and Afternoon Seminars. And this has been a wonderful time for me.

I started Preaching when I was a little boy and I have been to many Conventions. But none like this one!

Give the Lord a Big Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Would you stand now; would you stand!

And I am going to Pray and then we will get into the Word of God.

You stand all over the building; let us stand (repeated).

Praise the Lord – Amen!

OPENING PRAYER

Father in the Name of Jesus, we Thank You for this time around your Word. We Thank You oh Lord, for the Holy Spirit – our Teacher and our Guide. And we believe  that He will manifest Himself as the Teacher; causing the Complex to be made simple. That is our Prayer!

And Lord, since You know us name by name; situation by situation: it is with great confidence that we believe that You will interpret this Word to every individual. That’s my PRAYER!

Lord, we give You alone the Praise; You alone the Glory, You alone the Honour and Adoration. For all that You have accomplished, for all that we have seen.

In Jesus’ Name we Pray – Amen and Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

You may be seated.

Thank God for me being here; my wife is here as well.

Three (3) years ago, the Lord had said He is taking the Word He has given me to the Nations. I turned the Church that I had Pastored for thirty three (33) years over to my daughter. And she is now the Pastor of New Life Church. I’m the Resident Pastor there. She is doing a wonderful job there.

Could you give a hand clap for the New Life Church? – AMEN!

And it is my understanding that many of them are watching (or reading) right now.

BIBLE TEXT: ISAIAH 55: 8-11

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 

9 For as the Heavens are Higher than the Earth, so are my ways Higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from Heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the Earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11 So shall my Word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

When I was praying about what the Lord wanted me to say tonight, the Lord spoke this; I want you to talk about – “THE POWER IN WHAT GOD SAID”.

Would you turn to your neighbour now and say this: “There is Power in what God said” – Amen!

Now, years ago, as I had gone through a really rough time in Ministry; it was really a rough time in my life – I was discouraged and I was ready to give up!

It seemed as though my enemies had won; persecution was heavy.

And it was at that moment that God Visited me. He began to talk to me. And I couldn’t really answer Him, I said: How is it that You are going to let me enemies win? How is that You are going to let them reign over me, as it were?

I said to God – “God, Your Word said, that: You are going to take care of my enemies. And Lord, it seems like they are Glorying in the Victory.

And that is when the Lord stopped me; He said, No son; No son!

So I said, Lord. When are You going to stop them? And He said: No son, listen to me; He said: Your vindication does not come in the hands of people who try to hurt you; your vindication comes with the continuous manifest blessing that I will pour on your life.

… “I will let your enemies live LONG ENOUGH; for them to see Me Bless you”.

… Give the Lord a shout – Hallelujah!

It was at that moment that God told me: Son, you have to trust My WORD!

You just have to trust the POWER of My Word. And from that day (1980) till this day; I have trusted the POWER IN GOD’S WORD!

And so tonight, I say to many of you: it could seems like your enemies may have won – I declare over you that with God, His Word must come true.

And as He told me this, I tell you now: Your Vindication does not come in the hands of those that try to hurt you; but the Lord says: Your Vindication will come with the continuous manifest blessing that He is going to pour out over your life!

Can I get an Hallelujah in this place? – Hallelujah!

And so, that is what we want to talk about.

Because this Word is important, not only for your vindication; this Word is important for every facet of your life.

Now, when I was sharing with Pastors and the Ministers earlier, that: “There is enough POWER in the Word of God to make whatever He SAID, come to Pass”.

Am gonna say that again – “There is enough POWER in the Word of God to make whatever He SAID, come to Pass”.

I don’t believe you heard me, so am gonna say it one more time: “There is enough POWER in the Word Of God to make whatever GOD SAID, come to Pass”.

So with that understanding, am saying now – if and when it doesn’t look like it; even when I don’t know how God is going to do it: I must TRUST, that there is enough POWER in the Word of God, to make that word come to Pass!

Now, your Theme is: “AND GOD SAID”.

And tonight, I want you to grab hold of this: “That there is enough POWER in whatever GOD SAID, to cause what HE SAID to come to Pass!’

So if GOD SAYS to the birds: “FLY” – The birds need no Flying Lesson; immediately, it will know how to FLY because GOD SAID it.

If GOD SAID to the Fish “SWIM”; immediately, the Fish would know how to SWIM. And it does not need any Swimming Lesson; because GOD SAID it and there is ENOUGH POWER in whatever God said; to cause whatever GOD SAID to come to Pass!

Which means, this is important for your Vision. Because normally, God gives you condition beyond what you can do on your own. But because there is enough Power in what He says; then the VISION will come to Pass.

… It is important for your Victory!

Because no matter what you are facing, and it may look like it is too much for you; but there is enough POWER in what God says to cause what He SAID to come to Pass.

It is important for your Vocation, because God has some Great Things Planned out for you. And He has spoken them to you (personally) and also, through His Word. And you must hold on to it; understanding that Promotion comes from God – Amen!

Therefore, you must understand, and grab hold to: “There is enough POWER in the Word of God to make whatever He SAID, come to Pass”.

Now God told me, not to focus on my enemies; but to focus on three (3) things:

1. God told me to focus on His POWER.

2. God told me to focus on His PURPOSE.

3. And then God told me to focus on “MY PARTICIPATION”.

So tonight, that is what we are going to talk about – these three (3) things.

Because when you walk out of here, I want it to be established and cemented in your heart that: “There is enough POWER to cause whatever GOD SAID to come to Pass” – Amen!

1. So now, when God began to talk to me about His POWER, He took me back to Genesis; and there we see the Power in the CREATIVE VOICE of God – or the Creative Word of GOD!

When GOD SAID: “Let there be Light”; there was enough POWER in what GOD SAID, for the darkness to disappear, and for LIGHT to come!

So we understand, way back in Creation; when the Earth was without Form and Void; and the Holy Spirit brooded over the water. And then GOD SPOKE: and His POWER was released in the Earth – now we have the CREATIVE Word of God.

Secondly, now through the years, God had men Write the Bible – Write the Scriptures, Write the Covenant. Now His Power is CONTAINED in the Covenant.

So the Writer of Hebrews said in Hebrews 4:12 that: The Word of God is Powerful, Sharper than any two-edged sword.

It is the Covenant Word (but watch this now) it  contains the POWER of God. And there is enough Power in every Word that is recorded; to cause that Word to come to Pass.

… Can I get an Hallelujah in this house? – Hallelujah!

So we have, Power in the “Creative Word of God”. We have Power in the “Covenant Word of God”.

But then, there is Power in the “Confessed Word of God” or the  “Commanded Word of God”.

Now, when the people of God Confessed Word of God; it releases the Power of God into their situation.

When men and women of God, Prophetically Command the Word of God, the Power is released into that situation – Amen!

So now, when we look at the Power of God, we see Power in the creative Voice of God, we see Power in the Covenant of God. And then we see Power when we say what GOD SAID!

So I am here now to say to you tonight; that when you open your mouth, and you say what GOD SAYS; you are releasing the POWER of God into your situation: and there is enough POWER in the Word of God to cause whatever God says to come to pass!

Now would you help me tell your neighbour that: there is enough POWER in the Word of God to make whatever God SAYS come to Pass. Amen!

Now, we want to look at the next thing GOD SAID;

2. You need to FOCUS ON HIS PURPOSE.

Why did God help me into the Kingdom? Why did God call me (when I was a little boy)? Why have I gone through what I have gone through?

Because God let me know this, that He was looking for Partners in the Earth.

The reason you were brought into the Family of God; the reason you are here, the reason you have been Born Again – is because God is looking for Partners.

Though God is All Powerful, and though God knows everything, He is limited to what He can do in the Earth, to people who are available for Him to work through them – Amen!

The Will of God, does not automatically come to Pass. Though we can find the Will of God in the Word of God; the reality from Scripture is that the Will of God does not automatically come to Pass.

I could have believed in that and I thought I could have concluded that whatever God wanted to do, He could do it, anyhow!

But then God said to me, He said: son, it is my Will for everybody to be saved.

I said, Yes Sir!

Because it is in the Word: “God is not Willing that any should perish, but that all come to Repentance.”

He asked me the next question: Well, will everybody be saved?

He said, NO! Everybody won’t be saved.

And He said, my Will then, could not be automatic – My Will comes to Pass in the lives of people – whether it is Salvation, or it is Victory; It comes to Pass relative, to the development of their Faith – Amen!

So God sees your Needs; so God cares about you Needs.

God does not step in just because you Need. God only moves into man’s situation based on FAITH – Amen, Amen!

When people came to Jesus, the Bible says He would commend them by their Faith – “Your Faith makes you whole”;

“According to your Faith – be it unto you!”

And so, I understood then, that God wanted me as a Partner, so that I can declare His Words. And so that I could live in Victory.

God has given us Power to His Words:

1. So that we can have Power over Evil Spirits.

In Luke 10:19; He said that clearly. He said: “Behold, I give unto you Power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the Power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

God wants us to have, and has given us POWER so that we can have Power over Economic scarcity.

It is not the Will of God for you to live in Poverty; nor for you to have lack.

So God  has written in His Words that when you are a Giver, it will be given back to you – HOW?

“… Good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

And having Power in that Word, will cause it to come to Pass in you life!

… Can I get another Hallelujah in the house? – Hallelujah!

God has given us Power in His Words, because He wants us to take Dominion and Authority over Emotional Stress.

It is not the Will of God for you to be anxious; it is not the Will of God for you to be worried and stressed up. No, No! – It’s not the Will of God.

But the Word of God tells us; that if we will “seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

The Word of God says, that He will give us PEACE that surpasses all understanding.

And am here tonight to declare, that: There is enough Power in the Words of God concerning your Peace; Power in the Words of God concerning you living free of anxiety.

… There is enough POWER to make that Word come to Pass in your life.

So I declare over your life tonight, that you understand that you receive this.

And you understand that there is enough POWER in the Words of God to cause these Promises of God to come to Pass in your life.

God has given us Power, so that when emergency situations arise; we will rise up to use that Authority to Overcome the Emergency Situations – As Jesus Christ did when the storm came. It is when the storms of our lives come; we must understand we have been given POWER in the Word!

The Scripture says in Psalms 34:19: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.”

So no matter what situation and difficulties you are in, because GOD SAID IT: There is enough Power in what GOD SAID to make what He said come to Pass.

And then God gave us POWER so we can have Power over every sickness.

The Bible says that: Jesus HEALED all that were sick. So there is no sickness, no disease, too difficult for God.

And so, I don’t know what they call your disease, I don’t know what they have called your sickness, I don’t know what has come against you; but the Scripture says: “Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: by whose stripes ye were Healed.

And there is enough Power in the Words of God to make that Word come to Pass in your life.

Glory be to God! – Amen and Amen!

… Give the Lord another shout here – Hallelujah!

Now, I want you to go to John 8:31-32; because I had an encounter with God, and He told me I have to walk through life knowing this; never for a second doubt Him, never be in doubt, concerning the Power of God!

And I say to you tonight; that when you leave here tonight, before you leave, you will experience the Power of God. And when you leave here, it will be established in your mind and your heart that whenever a situation arise, you gonna hear my Voice, saying:

“GOD SAID, that there is enough Power in the Word of God, to make whatever that Word said come to Pass!”

And so, the Scriptures said in John 8:31-32: “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in my Word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” – Amen; Amen!

So what is this?

When I read this, I see what GOD SAID.

How am I going to a place where no matter what happens, I will know that “there is enough Power in what GOD SAID?”

Whether He said it through my Man of God; Whether He said it through my Woman of God; Whether He said it through His Words; How do I get to a Place where I have this knowing: “That there is enough Power in the Words of God to make His Words come to Pass?”

And the Scriptures says: “If ye continue in my Word”.

In other words, I must have time for His Words, I got to spend time with His Words. If I will do that, I will have a knowing; I will have a KNOWING!

I declare over you tonight; that Supernaturally, you are going to leave here with a knowing because you have spent time in the Word of God tonight.

SAY: And there is enough POWER in the Words of God to make that Word come to Pass in my life!

… Alright do that now.

So now, when I have this KNOWING:

1. I will Control my Thought. I will never look at the situation and think that situation is too hard for God.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10:5:   “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

… Child of God, you must control your thought life – Amen and Amen!

You can never look at a situation and think that situation is too hard for God.

The  Bible teaches us: “If thou can BELIEVE; all things are possible to him that believes”.

So the Bible tells me, my responsibility to Him is found in the Word of God; “If I can believe it”.

So if I can believe it, the thing becomes possible to me, no matter how impossible it looks. Because: There is enough POWER in the Words of God, to cause His Words to come to pass – Say Hallelujah!

If I have a KNOWING about this, I will leave what is controlling my temperament.

What do you mean Preacher?

Philippians 1:28 says: “And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.”

That means, if I really believe, that there is enough Power in the Words of God to make His Word come to pass; I don’t walk around looking defeated; I don’t walk around with my head down. I spread my shoulders, with my head up high – Because I am not a victim, I am Victorious.

So I walk like a Victorious Person, I act like a Victorious Person.

And the Bible says that I should make it known to the devil that I know he is DEFEATED!

I do it because there id enough POWER in the Words of God, to make that Word to come to Pass.

So when I know this:

1. I will control my THOUGHT!

2. I will control what is my TEMPERAMENT – my Attitude;

3. I will control my TONGUE. Yes, indeed: I will control my Tongue!

It won’t make sense if you shout Hallelujah in here; and then when you walk out – and you are not in the company of Believers. And something happens; and you throw away your Confession by saying something negative.

When I know that: “Death and Life are in the Power of my Tongue”.

Which means that I have the Power to even speak death to my situation, or I can speak LIFE into my situation.

And the Bible teaches me that: “I will have what I say”.

Jesus Christ said: if you speak to the tree, it will obey you.

And knowing this thing, I don’t just speak negative things. Because I know there is enough Power in the Words of God; to cause that Word to come to Pass in my life!

So then, I am going to DISCIPLINE my Tongue to say what God’s Words Said – Even though I may not feel like it. Even though it may not look like it. Because I have a Revelation, that: “there is enough Power in the Words of God; to make that Word come to pass!”

Am closing now: A story is told of a little boy, who was in the Candy Store with his mother.

At the Checkout Counter, there was a big Jar of Candy. And the Glossary Store Owner told the little boy: Come on, reach in there and get your hand full of Candy

But the little boy could not move. His mother encouraged him, and said: it’s ok son, go on and reach out, and get your hands full of Candy.

Still, the little boy would not move. And the Owner again said to him; his mother coached him; the little boy refused to move.

So finally, the Owner reached his hands in and pulled out a handfull of Candy. And the little boy took the Candy and fill both of his pockets.

His mother could not wait until she got him outdoors, because she wanted to know:

Why didn’t you reach out to take the Candy, when I told you it was ok? Why did you do so, when the Owner told you it was ok?

The little boy looked at his mother, looking with his big eyes and said: “Mama, I looked at his hands, and his hands were bigger than mine”.

What am trying to say to you today is – When you choose to believe the Words of God; you start Living out God’s Plan; you start Living out of the Hand of the Supernatural.

And you got to understand that God has POWER in His Hands!

And there is enough POWER in the Hands of God to handle every situation that you have. Because: “There is enough Power in the Words of God, to make that Word come TO PASS!”

I declare over you, for every trouble you have in you life – I declare over you, from this day on: you will never be worried, you will never be frightful, you will never be ashamed. Because you will walk through Life from this day forward, knowing: “There’s enough POWER in the Words of God, to make this Word come TO PASS!”

… Can I get an Amen in the house? – AMEN!!!

I declare over you, I declare over your finances: that you will not live in Lack; that you will accept what God’s Word said in Proverbs 10:22: “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it.”

… And there is enough POWER in that Word of God, to make it Word come TO PASS!

I declare over your Health; no matter what report you have from the Doctor – that you will understand that what really matters, have not CHANGED (and that is the Word of GOD!)

… And there is enough POWER in the Words of God, to make that Word come TO PASS!

So repeat after me: Father, in Jesus’ Name I declare from this day – I will Trust the Power of your Words. Knowing oh God, what I decree on myself or decreed by others; I choose to trust what Your Word says.

Because I know; “THERE IS ENOUGH POWER IN WHAT YOUR WORDS SAYS; TO CAUSE IT TO COME TO PASS.”

Shout Hallelujah if you believe – HALLELUJAH!!!

GOD BLESS YOU!
