Divine Access - Rod Parsley - Wednesday PM Spiritual Formation Class

0:00 [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music]

1:20 What? [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music]

2:37 Heat. Heat. [Music]

3:25 What happened? [Music] Do I feel it?

4:11 [Music] Well, good evening church family. It's good to see you. The Lord bless you. How many of you glad to be here tonight? Let me see your hand. How many

4:57 rather be here than in jail? Amen. I've been both places. I promise you. That's where I met the Lord, you know. And uh I was a drug addict and an alcoholic and a criminal. And Christ changed my life. Now I'm the president of the greatest Bible college in America. That's the grace of God. Amen. It's wonderful. Well, I hope you've had a great day in the Lord. And I hope that no matter what's come into your life that you've found a way to have an attitude of gratitude. Amen. No matter what comes into our life. We don't thank God for everything, but we

5:44 thank God in the midst of everything. So, I hope you've had a wonderful day and we love you and thank God. Now, I want to share with you a couple of very exciting things that I want you to be praying about. And of course, the first one is our Dominion Camp meeting. Isn't that good? It's a tradition in our church and it's a time of revival. It's a time when we experience the manifest presence of God in a very special way. We have great speakers coming in. We have great worship and it's just going to be wonderful. This year in addition to that, we are having an intensive, we're having a seminar and it's a time

6:29 uh where we're going to focus in on equipping for evangelism. How many of you know that Jesus said, "If you follow me, I will make you become fishers of men." How many of you know that? That's if you're not fishing, you're not following. And so, all of us need to become better at sharing the gospel. Uh, Elder Canfield and I went out to lunch today and we got to share Jesus with our waitress and pray with her. And we said, "Do you do you get to go to church?" And she said, "Well, I have to work a lot." And I said, "Well, the next time you're off, go right on this gender road about 2 and 1/2 miles on the left.

7:16 There's a church." She said, "What's the name of it?" And I said, "It's called World Harvest Church." And she said, "Rot Rod Parsley's on fire." And I said, 'He sure is. Come, come down there. So all of us have opportunities every day that present themselves for us to share the gospel. But we need to learn how to be more effective. And that's what we're doing. We're having a seminar really on evangelism for all of us. And then for pastors, if you're watching online right now, you're going to watch this later. Maybe you're a part of our network of churches. You might be an online student at Valor. We want you to come to this seminar, evangelism seminar intensive

8:03 part of our college and we're going to help pastors break the barrier that is that is stopping your church from going to the next level of growth. Some of you are stuck at a 100 people. Some of stuck at 200 people. And there's so many lost people that need Jesus. We want to equip you so that you can equip your people so that you can break through that barrier. Come on, somebody. Amen. And then we want to offer this to all of our people. Now, now listen to me. How many of you remember when before there was a Valor College? Elder, I know you remember cuz you were right there. It was called World Harvest Bible

8:49 Institute. institute and we offered certificate programs. How many of you remember that? All right. We still have a certificate right now. We have a certificate program. It's a one-year certificate in Bible. Now listen to me. If you will come, you're a member of this church. If you will come and register as a certificate participant, then we will begin your journey for a one-year certificate in Bible, theology, doctrine, Bible survey, Old Testament, New Testament that we're going to begin

9:36 to offer on our campus this fall. And I'm going to teach on basic Christian doctrine. and you're going to love it. So, so here's what I'm saying. You say, "Well, I don't want to go to college because I don't want to have to take tests and I don't want to have to write papers." Well, we've solved that for you. You're going to get the same intensive Bible teaching and study from the faculty of valor. But you don't have to write papers and take tests. Now, isn't that good? Amen. So you'll be hearing more, but it can start it can start during the seminar. Starts on Wednesday the 2nd, Thursday the 3rd, Friday the 4th. It's only a half a day.

10:22 Half a day Wednesday, half a day Thursday, half a day Friday. And uh you will love it. How many of you think you might be interested in that? You think you Amen. Amen. Amen. And of course, our students are interested and those online tonight. We get the joy of being fed God's word. Oh, I I thought pastor about the verse in second Timothy chapter 3. I just want to read it before pastor comes. It says all scripture is theonustas in the Greek New Testament. Theo is God. as means breathe. So all scripture is breathed out by God. It's

11:07 inspired by God. Amen. So this is no ordinary book. This is God's word. And then it says that God's word is profitable. It's good. It it it works effectively for teaching. That's to teach us what is right, what is true. For reproof. That's to help us when we don't do right. For correction in righteousness, that's to help us get back right. So, it teaches us what's right. Teaches us when we don't do right. Helps us get back right. And it does this so that every man and woman of God might be mature, equipped for every what? Good

11:54 work. That's what our pastor is helping us with. That's what spiritual formation is. And I don't know that I have ever heard anyone expound the truth of the word of God any more powerfully, any more effectively than Dr. Rod Parsley. Would you welcome him tonight as he comes and shares with us? [Music] stand. Let some of that on me. He just gave you in one verse more than most preachers, teachers, evangelists, apostles, and for

12:39 sure prophets could give you in a week. This man, what he is doing with Valor Christian College has been 35 years in the making. And I'm telling you right now, it takes an elephant 11 what what how long take an elephant to give birth to a baby? It's like two years or something. But when it comes, it's big. And we've been we've been giving birth to this thing a long time. And we are so thankful this faculty that is being put together, Dr. Camp. I mean, we we've got PhDs and master's degrees in divinity and

13:28 theology in in uh history, Bible history from Yale University, Harvard, from Harvard University, Baylor University, Theological Seminary. Yeah. Yeah. This is the kind of folks that are going to be and look what he just shared with you. I'm believing God for hundreds of of Biblebelieving Christians who don't necessarily want to do a 4-year degree to get in here and get the word. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? We've got to get built up for this final sprint toward eternity.

14:16 I'm telling you, thank you all you on social media, all you on YouTube, all you on Instagram. I I did a little fiveinut uh uh live and and and before I got to church tonight and by the time I got here it had over 3,000 views. Think about that. We're reaching people all over the world. Well, thank Dr. Camp for sharing with us. We love you. But I need somebody just to shout, "This is the day." Ah, that the Lord has made that. We will rejoice. And we will be glad in it.

15:04 Being glad is a decision and you just made it. And let's just give God the best praise of the day. You at home, give him praise. Give him glory. He's worthy of it all. All right, let's get busy. Are you ready? You may be seated. I love these spiritual formation classes. I've got things to share with you at the end tonight, which is going to come quicker than you can imagine. I've got a book. We took a fullsize hardback book and we reduced it to what we call purse size. Still a hardback called blessed

15:50 assurance. Ah the the hope we have in Christ the true meaning of Christianity. It's full of quotes. It's full of exhortations. It's full of hymn studies like blessed assurance. Jesus is mine. Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine. Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of his spirit, washed in his blood. This is my story. This is my song. Singing God's praises all the day long. You got to get that doctrine in you. And then my first published book by the great Thomas Nelson Publishers was

16:37 in 2001 and it was called He Came First: Following Christ to Spiritual Breakthrough. That'll be a blessing to you, too. I'll tell you how you can get it before we leave tonight. Right now, if you've got a Bible, Psalm 25, that's the place to be. Psalm 25. Psalm 25 25 blessings. Aren't you glad I didn't pull out curses. I don't even preach the curses from Deuteronomy 28. There are more blessings in there than there are curses. And I like to talk about blessing because we're redeemed. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Vocalize

17:25 it. Let it get out there in the atmosphere. Let it get in that supernatural realm where it just drives devils crazy. Amen. Divine access is in verse number one. Number one. Psalm 25. I want to just go ahead and start in Psalm 25 verse one. Are you ready? Now, I'm going to do something a little out of um the normal route of me doing things. I want to give you the verse and the blessing of all 25. Yeah. Because I started a series

18:12 once on the ten commandments. I got I got through seven. now that you can't do anything with a series of messages on the Ten Commandments cuz you won't finish. So, they got after me and they said, "You're going to have to finish this." So, I finished uh number eight and number nine. And I did great. And then the Holy Ghost led me to a different series and I left it for over a year. But on a Sunday morning, the spirit of God said, "Go finish that up." So, I did number 10. So, I do have it took me about a year and a half, but I do have a series of 10 messages on the Ten Commandments. I don't want that to happen with Psalm 25.

18:59 Amen. This is the third week we've been here, and we only got we only got to uh verse number two. So, you see, I'm a little troubled about it. So, I'm going to give you all of it right now. Are you ready? Psalm 25, verse one. To you, O Lord. Now, if you were here last week, you got in on a blessing cuz right there, Elder Canfield stood up and sang a Jesus movement song from verse one. Unto thee, oh Lord, do I lift up my soul. Hallelujah. I've sang it every day this week. It just one of those that gets in your spirit. Amen. Just wake up in the

19:44 morning glorifying him. Oh Lord, do I lift up my soul. Now what that brings us blessing number one, access. The price of access, the cross of Jesus Christ that people, people, human persons could come into the presence of a holy, almighty, omnisient, omnipotent, omniresent God is staggering. The intellect just staggers. The mind wonders that we could approach the most high God. I trust in you. Verse two. Oh my God, I trust in you. I love this part. May I not be ashamed.

20:32 There's a prayer that I have prayed since I entered ministry and was ordained when I was uh 20 years of age. I'd been preaching three years and somebody trusted me enough to ordain me. It's one of only two times in my life my daddy, a hillbilly, a a Korean War veteran, men of that generation, didn't say things, whatever popped in their head. But it was one of only two times you knew when they spoke, they meant it. It was connected to them. Their word was their bond. It's hard for people to understand that God's words is bond because they've never had a model.

21:18 Right. But that's who we are. But but my my precious dad when they handed me that Bible, he grabbed his arms around me. I was just at our family graveside in Eastern Kentucky on Monday. He wrapped those big strong arms around me and he said, "I love you, son, and I'm proud of you." two times in my life. How precious is that? Oh, that's why when God speaks, it marks the spot. You remember it. Let me not be ashamed. And I said that day, I said, Lord, from this day forward, let me never bring a mark against your name.

22:08 Let me never I pray it every day of my life. 50 years. Let me never bring a mark against your name. We're going to get into that. Let me not be ashamed and may my enemies not triumph over me. You know, it's it's it is scriptural to believe God for victory over those that would persecute you. And the word says, "Blessed are you when men shall persecute you and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake. For so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Therefore rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in the realm of the spirit." So

22:53 we can believe, you see, for victory. For us to believe for victory is not that we're believing for another person's defeat. No, our battle is not with flesh and blood. We fight in the spiritual realm. So number two, personal God. Very very first three words of that verse tell us he is a personal God. Oh my God. Jehovah, Eli, my God. Not my aunts, uncles, not your God, not the person beside me, in front of me or behind me. He is my God.

23:39 Amen. Number three, blessing, deliverance. Woo. We're going to hit this one tonight. From the curse of shame. Number four, victory over our enemies. Verse number three. Yes. Let none who wait on you be ashamed. There it is again. The double enunciation of God. He's saying it twice. Let them be ashamed who transgress without cause. Shame upon those who are treacherous. Without a cause. Now underline that. Without a cause. those that are treacherous

24:24 without a cause. Here we go. Make me, verse four, make me know your ways. Teach me your paths. That's blessing number six. It's the teaching ministry of the Holy Ghost. Verse number five, lead me in your truth and teach me. There it is again. For you are the God of my salvation. On you I wait all the day. Number seven, revelation of truth. That's the blessing. Revelation of truth. Number eight, salvation is in that verse as well. Verse number six, remember your mercies, O Lord, and your loving kindness, for they are from old.

25:09 Blessing number nine, mercy. Verse number seven, do not remember. Woo, I want to shout. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions according to your loving kindness. Remember me on account of your goodness, O Lord. Blessing number 10, forgiveness of sin and transgression. Number eight, verse number eight. Good and upright is the Lord. Therefore, he will teach sinners in the way. Number 11, goodness. Blessing number 11. Verse number nine. The meek will guide in judgment and the

25:57 meek he will teach his ways. Woo, I love this one. Number 12, guidance. He will guide you. The steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord. That means he puts in an order and you fulfill it. Here we go. Verse number 10. All the paths of the Lord are loving kindness and truth for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. What's that number 13? Blessing 13. That's covenant. covenant. We could teach a year on the blood covenant.

26:45 Thank you, Jesus. Remember now, you cut covenant. Yes, you cut covenant. There's the shedding of blood for covenant. And God, we we we have in our mind, God cut a covenant with us. He actually cut it with his son. He that oh that's the covenant you enter into a covenant that is unbreakable undeniable can't can't can't do away with it cannot be undone cannot be dismantled my salvation is secure in him he and his father made covenant for me and I can enter into it for your

27:32 name's sake oh lord verse 11. Oh, pardon my iniquity. Woo. You didn't catch it, did you? He said, for your name's sake. For your name's sake. Hallelujah. Mphibicheth could teach you about that for your name's sake. The word is so real to me. It's so alive. Number 14, God's name. You have God's name. All of

28:22 them. All of them. Mainly that one you can't even pronounce. Yave. Yahweh. Blessed be his name forever. Jehovah Yeshua, pardon from iniquity. That's the blessing. Verse number 12. Who is he? Who? Who is the man? Who? Thank you. Who fears the Lord? He will teach. That's the third time he's told you he'll teach you. Will teach him in the way he should choose. Blessing number 15, blessed with the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of

29:09 wisdom. Fronisus, Sunnis, Sophia, there they are. Number 15, blessed with the fear of the Lord. Verse 13, he will dwell at ease and his descendants, listen to this, Ashton, his descendants will inherit the land. I showed you some land yesterday. I said that belongs to you and your brother. What can I do with it? Whatever the Lord deals with you about. Blessing number 16, prosperity. And number 17, your seed will inherit the earth. I'm not I'm not concerned that the message of Pentecost will die with me.

29:54 My seed will inherit the earth. If Jesus carries his coming, I full well expect three generations from now, somebody up here screaming and shouting about salvation by the blood of Christ, about the baptism in the Holy Spirit, about the power of Pentecost. Woo! That's legacy. That's my inheritance. And I'm having a great time because Oral Roberts uh I shared with him once I said, "Dr. Roberts, you are such a blessed man. You get to see the fruit of your labor." And so when I when I see when I see these young

30:40 people, when I see Strano up there exhorting, Yeah. When I see David in there talking to those pastors on the phone. When I see Robert just step up on that platform like it belongs to it. When I see Malia in there on that typewriter being a blessing to God's kingdom. Why I even enjoy little Theo. Bless his heart. We just love him. The counsel of verse 14. The counsel of the Lord is with those who fear him and he will make his covenant known to them. Blessing number 18, revelation of the secrets of the Lord. Ah, they're hidden in there. You know, folks sometimes ask

31:27 me, they say, "What would you do differently if you could go talk to your 20 year old, 30 year old, 40 year old self?" And I tell them, I'd get more education. That's why God told me getting out of a doughnut shop. He said, "Build me an educational system." And I thought that was, you know, a preparatory school. So, I did that. And then he reminded me, he said, I said, "System? Wow. I sure enough don't know how to do that." But I tell folks, if I could, I'd get more education. Do you know how I wish I could open up a Greek New Testament and look into those

32:12 original words and read it like I can read English or the Hebrew? Oh my. What are their six verb tenses in he in Greek? Six verb tenses. We have past, present, and future. They've got three more. Isn't that something? You know, when the word says that Jesus came in the fullness of time, there was a reason for that. Yeah. They had Roman roads. Think about that. They had Roman roads. They had the language. My grace God, how wonderful. and and you all sit here and

33:00 there are Greek and Hebrew lessons going on all day right over there at Valor Christian College and you don't go jump in on it. I don't know if you want to preach so available to you. Think about it. Verse 15. My eyes are ever here David. My eyes are ever toward the Lord. Yesterday for about 15 minutes I got my eyes on the wrong thing and I repented all night long. This morning I repented to my family. I just got my eyes on the wrong thing and my emotions moved in there and I didn't like it. I didn't like something inside

33:45 me. Didn't like it and it rose up in me. Oh, keep your eyes ever on the Lord for he will lead my feet. Oh, from the net. You want to not get caught up in things you should not get caught up in. Get loosed. Amen. Blessing number 19. You can live free from distraction. Where is it? Here is here you go. You can live free from

34:32 distractions. I was talking with my family and I said, "This is the number one time waster on earth today." One of them said, "You know what? The other day I just opened that up and before I knew it, I looked up and two hours were gone. It's made that way. It's devised that way. It even has rhythm, flashing ri rhythm that you don't even realize is going on that's pulsating in your eyes. Be careful. Let's live free from distraction.

35:19 That's why then you sit down with the word and and you read two verses and you're yawning there. No strobing light. It's good, isn't it? It's practical, but it's good. Amen. All right. Distract number 20. Freedom from bondage. I like to say it this way. If there's something you can't do without other than Jesus, I'd question whether you need it. If you can't live without it, other than Jesus, other than

36:05 Jesus, fast more fasting. I tell young couples all the time, they have to sit together in church. They have to walk across campus together. They have to sit in their car outside the dormitories together. Good idea. Fast your relationship for 30 days. Why? See you you can't even go there because you're you don't understand. You're distracted and it's becoming bondage. Don't Don't be And spouses, don't be needy. I I I couldn't live with a needy woman.

36:52 I've got things to do for God. I've got to pray. I've got to travel. I've got to preach. I My wife never one time in any way hindered me from doing anything God had me to do. I never heard her one time say, "Well, you know, I haven't seen you for Most of those relationships are bound up in the physical." Brother Summer looked at Miss Joanie and I standing on the pool. He wouldn't let us have a rehearsal for our wedding. She better not be needy. Can you imagine a bride, no rehearsal for her wedding?

37:39 So we stood up there. He wouldn't let us know what the vows were. Nothing. I'll take care of this. All right. So we stood up there. Elder Canfield, you will remember this. You were there. You were right beside me. And And thank you for that. Thank you for that. Thank you. He said, he said, he put his arms like this and he had us separate, right? And he looked out between us at that congregation, overflowing chairs outside the building and uh he said, "There are

38:26 three ways to get married." Must have been impactful. I still remember it. The first way that most people get married is this body looks at that body and says, "I like that body." And he said, "So they get married and right there before the whole congregation and God and the holy angels." He said, "So then they chew on each other's flesh until they vomit each other out and that's the end of it." Yeah. That's Then he said second, you can get married. There are those that get married in their soul. They think

39:11 alike. They have the same emotional makeup. They like to read the same things. They stay married longer. But the one that will be together according to these vows are those where this spirit connects with that spirit. And it doesn't matter what happens in the flesh or the soul, the spirit of those two people will sustain all of their infirmity. Glory to God. Glory. All right. Number 16. Verse 16. Turn to me and be gracious to me. You have no idea what a miracle you're witnessing

39:58 right now. I've gone through 16 verses. Woo. I don't know if I've ever done that in my life. 16 verses. Be gracious unto me for I am isolated and afflicted. No wonder this is the prayer book of the church. No wonder this is the himynel of the believer. Unto thee, oh Lord, do I lift up my voice. Unto thee, oh Lord, do I lift up my voice, oh my God. Let me not be ashamed. Let not my enemies triumph over me.

40:47 before I preached for 50 years. I could sing. Listen. Blessing number 21. Divine presence. When you're alone and suddenly you're not alone anymore. Jesus. When you're driving down the road and you have to pull over to the side. When you wake up at 3:00 a.m., tell your body it's not hungry at 3:00 a.m. Stop going to the refrigerator at 3:00 a.m. I've I've discovered from many, many, many discussions with many, many great men and women of God. 3 in the morning is a time where the presence of God, for some reason, draws very, very near. If you're awakened at 3:00,

41:34 God's want to talk to you. Amen. Verse number 17. The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Your heart ever get enlarged with troubles? Mhm. Bring me out. Look where David always looks. He's not ashamed to say that he's in trouble. He's crying out to God. And this was meant to be sung in the congregation of Israel. where they're confessing before each other and before God. Then he says, "Bring me out of distress." Blessing number 22, divine, get ready to shout.

42:23 Reversal. Divine reversal. God's about to turn it around. Turn it upside down and right side up. Yes, he is. Verse 18. Look on my pain and misery and forgive all my sins. I'm I'm just seeing this right now. look on all my [Music] pain and my sins. He's asking

43:09 God, look at it. And he says, forgive all my sins. It's the beginning of that verse again. Look on my pain and my misery. There's no complaint. He He He's not complaining. He's not telling God how bad it is. He's not blaming God. He's not laying it to God's charge. But

43:56 immediate forgive my sins right back to himself. Forgive my sins cuz if my sins are forgiven and I know it and I've got your divine presence, I'm going to be all right with the pain. I can make it if I know you're with me. Number 23, deliverance from pain and affliction. Blessing number 23, verse 19, consider my enemies, for they are a bunch, and they don't just not enjoy me, they hate me. Hate has

44:45 action. Hate takes action. with watch violent hatred. Verse 20, watch over my life and deliver me. Let me not suffer shame for I seek refuge in you. Verses 19 and 20. And I just I just extrapolated from that one blessing. Preservation.

45:31 Preservation. You know where that comes from? Preservative. Preserves. My family canned or we didn't eat. Yeah. We didn't go get the canned stuff at the grocery. We canned it. We planted it. We grew it. We harvested it. We canned it. Right. And my job when I was a young boy was to sit there and watch the mason jars. They'd sit me with can bottom chair up there and I'd watch the mason jars and the curr jars and the ball jars and the mason jars. I know all of them. And I would wait because as they cooled they pop and that meant they were

46:17 sealed. If one didn't get if one if one didn't get sealed you see then what was outside could get in. But if it was sealed it could be preserved. Do you understand me? God will preserve you. Yes, he will. He'll preserve your mind. He'll preserve you when you're attacked violently. Don't lose it. You're going to come out of it. Yes. You're preserved. What's outside can't get inside. That's

47:04 that's the veil, right? He ripped that thing in two when he shed his blood so that what was inside that holy of holies could get out and what was outside you and me could get in. Thank God for his preserving power. I used to preach when I was a young boy and I'd say I look around and these precious old saints, their raven black hairs grown silvery gray. I can't preach that anymore. But I I'd say God's preserving them. They're not dying. They're like an eagle up on a branch over a river. His beak's falling off. His feathers are

47:50 falling out. And a man riding with a riverboat captain riverboat captain heard him say, "Well, you're all washed up, old bird. day is coming very very soon. Your talents will let go of that limb. He was trying to wax eloquent like a preacher and and you'll let go. Splash with a thud into the river and that'll be the last of you. That riverboat captain with a jaw tobacco in the northeast corner of his right jaw spat out over the side of the boat and he said, "Those are pretty words, preacher, but it ain't true. That bird's not dying. He's just

48:37 molting." Very soon where those feathers fall out, new ones will begin to Hey, new ones will begin to grow. that beak and you see that little yellow speck on his face, that beak's going to grow back out. His strength's going to be renewed like that of the eagle. He's going to let go those mighty talents and soar to the snow caps of mighty mountains again. He's not dying. He's molting. And I look at myself now in the mirror. And I see the wrinkles on my face. And I see the gray in my hair. And I know my shoulders are rounded more than they should be. And my voice isn't as strong as it used

49:22 to be. I want everybody to know I'm not dying. I'm just molting. I'm about to be changed. Hey, we're number verse 21. Truth and integrity will preserve me while I wait for you. Verse 22, redeem Israel, oh Lord God, redeem. Purchase them back by paying the sacrificial price. Redeem them. return them to the original state of affairs. Redeem them out of all their

50:10 troubles. Number 25, redemption. He is not only our savior, he is our redeemer. He you get born again, you're as born again as you're going to be. And you you have returned as righteous before God as Adam and Eve, your pristine parents were in the Garden of Eden before they sinned. Think of that. Oh, how we belittle the finished work of Calvary. Oh, the grace, the mercy, the

50:56 redeeming power. Praise God. That was blessing number 25. Redemption. Redeem, oh God, out of all our troubles. I got through 22 verses and 25 blessings. And God is a wonder, a miracle worker. There they are. Well, I guess I've given you enough to chew on this week as you're going back through Psalm 25. Let's go through it every day this week. Let's just let the Holy Spirit speak to us. Amen. Amen. Father, thank you for your word. So alive,

51:45 vital, vibrant, nothing stagnant, nothing stationary, always moving, living, breathing, growing in our hearts. We thank you for it. We bless you for it. We thank you, Lord, for the Holy Spirit that reveals truth to us so that we can be made strong. Oh, redeem us, Lord. Redeem everyone watching. Redeem everyone here out of all of our troubles. Forgive our sins. We thank you for the victory side of an empty tomb. We bless you and praise you for eternity in our very

52:30 beings. Thank you for the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us into all truth, away from the snare of the fowler, away out of our troubles. Remember us, oh Lord, according to your loving kindness. Don't remember the sins of our youth and help us not to remember them either. Wash them. Wash us. Bring us forth. Beautiful gold tried in the fire for your purpose. May we never ever bring a mark against your name. Help us God.

53:19 Forgive us. We implore you, oh God. Heal us now. We're here in your divine presence. Let divine health surge through our bodies, through our minds. Prince of peace. Shalom. Touch our minds and make us strong. Touch our hearts and make us men and women of valor. Touch our bodies. May we be strong for your purposes. Use us. Give us souls. Give us a

54:04 passion. Oh God, give us a bird for souls. and then crown our altars and our lives with the reward of your suffering. Bless your name, Jesus. Be healed now. Be delivered. Be at peace. Be strong in the power of his [Music] might. Nothing by any means harm you. Power over all devils, power to cure diseases, power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all of the power

54:50 of the enemy. And nothing shall by any means harm you. Shake off the snakes. Rejoice in my victory, says the Lord, for I have purchased it for you with you in mind and heart. I sent my son. Receive every benefit of his sacrifice. For it was for you. Share it, tell it, proclaim it, and let the earth rejoice. For when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. I release you into your authority. I release you into your

55:39 dominion. Take authority in your domain. In my name and for my Christ, and your victory shall be sure, and your life shall be sweet, says the Lord. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Woo. I hope those of you online will share this with everybody. It's my great joy right now to challenge your faith. It's my responsibility. You see, people say, "Why do why do pastors receive offerings?" Well, the main reason is it was because we're required to see to it

56:25 that your faith grows, that your faith expands, and that your heart is in the right place. That your heart is for somebody other than you. That your heart goes beyond you into this hurting, bruised, and battered world. Oh, I know you want to help us proclaim the name of Jesus to the whole wide world. God is doing amazing things here. I wish I had time to articulate just a few of them to you. You'll be hearing about them in the days to come. But we need you right now to help us accomplish all that God has called us to do. And so I ask you

57:12 for your support. I I do it unashamedly. I do it without any timidity because I'm bold in the Lord because I'm not asking for me. I'm asking for the work of Jesus, for the name of Jesus to be exalted all around the world by these students, by City Harvest Network, by the members of this great network that spans the globe, preaching the gospel on television, as we've done for well over 40 years, every day, seven days a week to the entire world. We just had a blessed businessman that recognized that our

57:58 broadcast to Israel in Hebrew, uh, to Ukraine in Ukrainian and to Russia in Russian and all over the Middle East was being hindered by lack of funds. And we got a call from that network and they said, "Don't worry about it, Pastor Parsley. Somebody has paid for the whole thing for the next 6 months." How good is God? Glory. But we've got a lot more to do. The information is right there. Now, listen. I'm going to send you these two beautiful books as my thank you, just a

58:45 thank you for your love gift tonight. And I'm going I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. It's I I shouldn't do it still. Get aggravated at me. I'm going to make it for $50 or more. Any love gift of $50 or more. You say, "Well, I can only give $25." Well, give it and I'll send you one of the books. Amen. I bless you. Don't you know sometimes you say an amount and people think if they don't give that amount they shouldn't give. Well, that's certainly the devil and our W. Shambuk would scream that devil is a liar. Amen. Let's give to the Lord tonight. Let's bless his name. Those of you that enjoy

59:31 us online, it costs a lot of money. That one camera I'm looking at right now cost $150,000 for me to look at you right there. So, we need your help. That one light bulb up there cost $10,000. It's called a key light. It's a 10,000 W light. Amen. Let's pray. It keeps burning. Amen. Those of you at home, we love you so much. So much. All the information is right there on your screen. We love you. The books blessed assurance and Jesus came first. Leading the way to victory in your life. So grab a hold of those.
