4:48 will be intimidated shove somebody and say that's good I don't care who you are come on shove him and say that's good I don't care who you are a timid faith will be intimidated I want you to let her know the devil no he can't intimidate your faith [Applause] if I'm the devil and I see you standing there go I'm like I got you I got you ha ha we got us we go to shout like PRP
5:35 is gonna shout when that state that starts with an a gets be don't you realize that grace frees you alright let's move on don't you realize that grace frees you to choose your own master God forever surrendered he is right to act independently in your life stop asking God to do what he already told you plainly he did cuz if he did he do thank God no shelters in here of the day I
6:20 said cuz if God did he do that means if he did heal you he do he leave right now right now right now I got healed when what day was Thursday Thursday I was in here some people say why would you go to five states and preach eight times in six days cuz I needed to touch from God and I needed to give the round needed to get around some worship and some praise and some shouting and some deliverance
7:07 and some word God heal me three years ago vocal cord cancer and what they do all the time when they examine me they measure my lymph nodes to see if there's any change in my lymph nodes any of you there have been diagnosed with cancer of leukemia you know that so I came I got up Wednesday morning getting ready to I don't even know how many times I preached that day but three times I preached three times on Wednesday some of you missed all three I preached three times it went on Wednesday what's that mean you three messages behind amen and and I when I woke up a turn no a
7:58 turn like that to say something to Joni and I felt something and I felt right there and that thing was swollen up that big was it that big Joanie Joanie felt it and and hard and I said you know before I got a chance to say anything what do you think got screamed in my ears what elder cancer he had come again but then I got a word that said these afflictions shall not arise a second time I thought I had a shouting Church I don't know so I told Joanna you gonna
8:48 have to get me in and and get me checked and so I went to the first doctor cuz he could get me in before the other doctor and that doctor said you don't have to see though the doctor because that's not an infection and that's not something from sinuses that's your lymph nodes and you need to get to your doctor I said okay so I did that was on Wednesday I went to the doctor all day that day on Wednesday I was at the doctor before I went to the doctor [Music] [Applause] I think if as your lymph nodes you'd be
9:33 shopping like really shouting and one day it maybe you don't know how many times God stopped that thing in your life already on a shout that you didn't even know what you would shout now I could God I got a hurry I got a hurry listen so Thursday that thing I'm you know I'm getting ready to do that funeral and you know there it is and now there was folks just worshiping but the Norval was a worshipper he would just lift his hands
10:19 and say I worship You Jesus I worship You Jesus I worship You Jesus and tears start flowing down Joanie God the Holy Ghost homie he said you missed something about brother Norville I said yes Lord he said the reason his faith was so mighty was present he was always in the presence of God if you would walk up to brother Norville and say Jesus he'd start crying and he's he's um saying oh let's just worship Jesus he's so good to us oh Jesus I worship you there's no one like you Jesus you love us so much Jesus I love you I worship You Jesus how worship a
11:07 worship You Jesus our worship you oh how wonderful you are Jesus you saved us oh thank you for saving us Jesus thank you for shedding your blood Jesus we worship you we worship so the presence of God was always on him always on him hallelujah so while they were worshiping in that presence I felt the Holy Ghost say put your left hand because that's where God put his healing power in my left hand in 1979 when brother Norville took my hand and he stretched it out like this he said not just very gently laying on people so I'm sitting there and there was his
11:54 earthly tabernacle and we're all there assembled so we can give glory and honor to the Lord Jesus for giving us such a man like that for 91 years and God said just do what you did in 1979 so I reached up there and I said these signs shall follow them that believe in my name they shall cast out Devils they if you'd lay your hand wherever you have ailment right now called your left hand God will heal you if you just trust him and I put my hand there and I said these signs follow those of us who believe in your name we cast out Devils we speak with new tongues we take on the devil if
12:41 we drink any deadly thing it shall not harm us we lay hands on the sick and the sick recover and I said now recover in Jesus name and anything that's not God get out of my body right now that my body is a temple of the Holy Ghost and as I just worship God that thing just went [Applause] we'll have to be a pretty good phrase if I made a touchdown but I didn't make a touchdown that'd be a pretty good clap if you were at the Opera but we're not at the Opera that'd be a pretty good
13:29 hallelujah if you were at a dead cold up by the roots Church that'd be pretty good if you were in the church where you never saw God do the miraculous but it's not good enough for what God did so let's really give him one of those praises that's a Shabbat let's give him a Shabbat breeze [Applause] we're in Romans chapter 6 verse 16 don't you realize that grace ha frees you to
14:15 choose your own master you can serve sickness and disease or you can serve health and wholeness you can serve bondage or you can serve freedom you can serve Satan or you can serve Jesus you serve yourself or you can serve God Almighty say I have the right to choose my own master but choose carefully for you surrender yourself to become a servant down to the one you choose to
15:02 obey some people say well I can't do anything about this oh no no no dear one oh let pastor help you whatever you've got right now you chose okay you're not going to help it down there whatever you've got right now don't be like don't be like don't be like Adam Lord this woman you gave me I need to do a sermon on that all the stuff you blame God for in your life that had absolutely nothing to do with God you chose that man God didn't choose him you know the one that slapped you
15:49 around you chose him you chose the deviant lifestyle God didn't choose that God can't do anything that violates his word he didn't say one thing on Tuesday and change his mind on Thursday he also didn't say one thing in the Old Covenant and something different in the New Covenant and it didn't say something different in the Gospels than what he said in Romans you chose stop blaming God for things have nothing to do with God you're depressed today you're choosing to be you're
16:35 fearful today you're choosing to be you in poverty today it's because your mouth chose to put you there you're weary today it's because you chose to be if you don't feel like rejoice in today's because you chose that I choose to rejoice I choose who I serve and he said serve me with gladness [Music] God said serve me with gladness I'm getting through to somebody whoo
17:25 I can't ever get through this verse don't you realize the grace frees you to choose your own master but choose carefully now because you surrender yourself to become a servant bound to the one you choose to obey you know what that tells me you can be seated you know what that tells me that tells me I'm superior to the devil [Music] Thank You Jared you know what that tells me Jared uh appear e'er to religion you
18:14 know what that tells me Jared I don't have to be bound you know what that tells me Jared when they try to bind me and religion I don't have to listen when my body tells me I'm tired and I don't really have the strength to praise it you what that tells me I'm free to say shut up body rejoice o my soul and all that is with [Applause] see I'm speaking contrary to the dominant culture because the dominant culture says nothing's your fault there
19:01 is somebody to blame for everything except you you can blame the government you can blame the tax code you can blame your parents blue smoke on you when you were a child I've heard a woman one time say I'm mean and I'm hateful because I grew up in a house as the youngest one of nine kids and I was always the last one to get to eat and all they give me as a chicken wing and the milk was
19:46 already gone and I didn't get enough milk as a child to which I responded is there a grocery store in your town go buy yourself some milk and hush I serve nothing but God I don't serve my passions I don't serve my desires I don't have a high one two I don't have a you made me this way let me tell you how God made you better than Adam and Eve in the garden on the
20:31 day that he breathed his breath into him because what God did in the second Adam Jesus Christ is superior to everything the devil did in the first half I feel God be seated I choose my handkerchief we got to get this people dear saints of God precious friends sisters and brethren and sistren I bind a blaming spirit it's a spirit it
21:21 is the spirit of this age [Music] blame everybody you get pulled over by a police officer for speeding and here you go well I can't believe me and I am but I didn't they need more signs tell you what the speed limit is and and if the government would put up more signs about the speed limit or you could just ease
22:07 off on the pedal but see that would involve personal responsibility my wife won't cook teacher always blaming somebody I'm getting a revelation right now of what I'm gonna preach later is that all right with you God the Holy Ghost my understanding out there down to a minute ago God the Holy Ghost said to me he said to me think of Adam standing at that tree what did he
22:55 say when he was discovered in his sin okay you don't have a Bible Lord that woman that you gave me God you put me in the wrong body poor God he's so confused no you've just got passions from the underworld instead of
23:41 the upper world and because you've been told all your life you have a right you can do what you want and nobody gonna tell you nothing you are entitled laws look what's going on in America laws apply to everybody except the people that don't want to keep [Applause] I'm on try again laws are laws for everybody there is not a law for you in
24:33 driving because you are Irish you lose your temper and yell and scream of people and you say well that's just the Irish in me but then if you're not Irish then you say that's just my German coming out you're just making an excuse God doesn't make excuses God doesn't listen to excuses God deals in two
25:18 things truth lie God set out rules he said don't steal think about that when you're making your taxes I think about tithing God said take 10% of the sanctified gross income and give it to God on the first day of the week no questions asked there is no if there is no but so when you keep what God says so your Bible plainly tells you that you will live in
26:06 poverty and then you want to blame God that you're not blessed 75% of all Christians start the week off lion telling God why you can't will see God I mean and I love how we take part of the scripture to defend ourselves against other truth see God you told me to take care of my family and I'm taking care of my family and I think I've nothing left for you it's so quiet in this presbyterian church so quiet well

38:18 gossiper just because it happened but it might happen and the Bible says that we would be free the offended party would be free doesn't mean they're free to do whatever they want it means they're free according to the original contract but they're just as free to say haha God can do all sick [Applause] [Music] [Applause] liberty is not license sweet that

41:33 [Music] around people with that spirit it'll get all over you yeah but I was abused my heart breaks for you so much to tell you that just because you were abused doesn't mean you don't have a choice of whether you become an abuser or not that's a lot I feel I said I feel that's a lie that's a lie that's a lie

43:06 that bunch of mess away that you've been reading did a Bible for yourself and you come out with a different opinion I don't have a right to lie I don't have a right I sign on the dotted line my life is hidden with God in Christ Jesus in him I live in him I move in him I have my being that's reason he said I said
43:54 before your life and death you don't make that choice once and for all you daily pick up your cross the place of self-sacrifice the place where you die and he resurrects the place where his blood covers it all that place choose who you're going to serve hallelujah
44:40 choose how you're gonna raise your children choose how you're gonna respond to your spouse I will tell you how long y'all been married 39:39 you got me beat by seven years I'm gonna give everybody a marriage secret the next time one of the other of you say something how the way do something how the way just say real politely would you think about that choice is that the one
45:25 you want to make see if you just stop for a moment and listen a soft answer your Bible says turns away wrath choose what a gift can you imagine that God would tell us you choose you say you have to this don't have to end except if you're going to be in the kingdom you must be born again cuz God knows you
46:11 can't make it in this kingdom without it ain't that right did you enjoy this little talk let's look at it again and I'm I'm I mean I just want us to see it before we before we change course here don't you realize that grace frees you to choose your own master so you can't say anything other than whatever master
46:56 you're serving right now you chose but whatever it is spirit soul body everything that pertains to life and godliness God sent his son to that rugged cruel angry mean binding beam just so today you could choose there is a way that seems right to man but I sounded like a hillbilly there didn't I I had three syllables in one three-letter word man what was I get
47:42 ready to quote to you huh yeah there's a way what's your name 18 people when it's like not a trick question scream out your name now that was really weak you know that most people are afraid of the sound of their own voice the devil keeps you that way so you don't pray so you don't worship stop being afraid of the sound of your own voice that's intimidation so shout your name oh that's so much better say it one more
48:34 time the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord what was the other one on Skorton see there okay shoutian hang there's a way that seems right to you say it now say your name there's a way that seems right to you but the end of your way say your name is death
49:20 [Applause] Jordan I don't do everything right in our marriage what does that have do things we made the choice you think the first time the pastor Tim messed up putting his weapon together he just gave it to him and said I don't want to do this anymore or do you think they slapped it right back in his hand elder Murphy you know they slapped it right back in his hand said do it again aren't you glad God gives you a do-over when your weapons aren't working and your joy is not rolling and your peace evaporates aren't you glad you can start all over
50:07 right now and make the right choice that cancels have all the negative ones you've made in that fantastic let's thank God for the blood of Jesus that makes that possible let's say God for His grace that makes that possible hallelujah all right father thank you for doing work in us today I pray that all week long the people will remember this one thing it's my choice it's my choice it's my choice and may they choose life Jesus in every situation just choose life somebody
50:53 steals from them let them choose life somebody cuts them off in traffic let them choose life the devil wants an argument in their home let them choose life the enemy tries to attack their body let them choose eally whoo when that sweet small voice says pray let them choose to really respond in obedience Oh God would thank you for making us who we are now if there's anyone here every head bowed and every eye closed it's not that you were saved at some point in the past it's are you saved now do you know that everything's under the blood and you're
51:40 right with God if you don't know that if you don't know that when I say three could you just slip your hand up in the air no one looking around we're gonna pray you're gonna make the right choice choose God said who you'll serve and then he helped you in he said choose me choose life on three if you're unsure raise your hand let's pray together so when you walk out this beautiful tabernacle or there in Elkhart Indiana you know that everything's right with you and God if you want to pray that prayer together with me when I say three
52:27 shoot your hand up in the air do it now make the decision you'll be glad you made if your soul would be required of you today on three one two three raise that hand leave it up 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 hallelujah somebody else might make the right choice if you just encourage them a little bit [Applause] let's all stand together let's all stand together and lift your hands up say Lord Jesus Christ today I choose you I choose
