He leads a prayer of repentance, encouraging attendees to confess their sins and rededicate their lives to Christ. The atmosphere is charged with emotion as individuals respond to the call, seeking deliverance and renewal.

So, if you want to be a part of it, go to valorcol.edu edu or grab a card in the seat back pocket in front of you and find a valor student or an usher and give it to them to let them know you're interested in becoming a revenant relevant holy ghostfilled firebaptized anointed revivalist. But some of the seasoned saints, they look down here at all these hundreds of thousands of young people and say, "Well, that's all emotionalism. That's all emotionalism. That's, you know, it's not real. They're just

57:33 they're just doing that. They're just cutting a shine. They just want attention. You don't know like they know what he's done for them. See, when Strano sings, I'm dancing on the grave that I once lived in. I'm notifying every devil in hell that you may have tried to stop me, block me, help me, take my own life, but I'm dancing out of these free cling. Dancing on the way that I was living.

58:21 Dancing on the way. Dancing in your seat and touch my people on your way. He delivered you. from anxiety. If he delivered you from depression, if he delivered you from demon power, if he delivered you from sickness, if he delivered you from disease, if he delivered you from homosexuality, if he delivered you from addiction, if

59:08 he delivered you from suicide, if he delivered your family, if he saved your loved ones, If he set you free, take one more minute and pray. [Applause] I'm running away running. I'm running. I'm running. I'm running. I'm running.

59:56 [Music] In the presence of God, there's some Pentecostal people in here that still got a Pentecostal tongue, that still got a Pentecostal shout, that still got a Pentecostal dance. Go ahead and get I'm about to roll on this floor. If you don't get in the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Yeah. Wow.

1:00:43 See yeah. [Applause] Feels like dominion in here tonight. I said it feels like dominion in here tonight. I want you to high five at least four or five people around you and tell them if you don't want yours, I'll take it tonight. I There's something up in here.

1:01:34 Hallelujah. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] There is nothing greater in the kingdom than the spirit of expectation. [Music] And nothing fuels it more than praise. When you lift up a praise, everything in heaven stands at attention because praise is an acknowledgment not only of what God has done,

1:02:20 not only of what God is doing, but what you have total faith that he will do. How many believe God's about to do something in your life that the devil can't stop? Amen. You can be seated in the tabernacle. Does anybody appreciate Dr. Rod Parsley and Dominion camp meeting Jonathan and everyone? Awesome, man. Wow. Was anybody blessed by Pastor Tony, Pastor Brandon? Were y'all blessed today? Amen.

1:03:06 and get ready for tonight. You know, when you get two Kentucky boys in the same room that can preach, there's trouble on the way. I just I told my wife, I said, "You better put a seat belt on when Pastor Tommy Bates gets on up here." Pastor, I got to tell you this. We were in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Southbound was singing. There was about 4,000 people and there was nobody under 70. Nobody. Everybody's old as 70. And we were singing and I mean they were just looking at us like, you know, they could care less and we did everything, you know, but they

1:03:52 didn't do anything. We sang for about 20 25 minutes and I told I just whispered to the guys, I said, "Let's just get out of here. These people are dead. Well, when we come off the stage, he came on the stage. I'm talking about Pastor Tommy Bates. And he sat at the piano by himself. And he just started. He said, "There ain't no grace." And just held that out going to hold my body down. And I thought that's all it took

1:04:38 cuz those people come up out of their seats. Get ready for the anointing tonight. Every delivery from heaven, every increase from heaven starts when there's a release on earth. Whatsoever you bind, I'll bind. Whatsoever you lose, I'll lose. It always amazed me how God told Abraham, "Take thy son, thine only son."

1:05:26 When the truth of the matter is Isaac was not his only son. He had a son named Ishmamail. But God said, "Take thine son, thy son, thine only son." And when I studied it out, I found out that the reason he said that was because only would only be used one more time in the entire Bible in Hebrew and Greek. It's called yak. Everybody say yak. He said, "Take your yak and bring it to the mountain and sacrifice it." And when I studied the word out yak, it means that which you would rather keep.

1:06:15 Most people, there's only really one thing they'd like to keep more than anything. We know what that is. And the only other time that word yak is used again is in John 3:16. For God so loved the world that he gave his yak. And Abraham marched Isaac to the top of that mountain, willing to sacrifice him and do what God had spoken him to do. And after he did, the Bible says that God, you know the story, y'all are all in church, provided a ram in the thicket. And the scripture records in Genesis

1:07:01 22:14, it says, "And Abraham called that place Jehovah Gyra." Let me ask you a question. What does Jehovah Gyra mean? No, it doesn't. You need to go study again. We have shouted my provider for 50 years. And that's not what Jehovah Gyra means. It means Jehovah sees. Go study what he said. He said Jehovah Gyra in the mount of God. He will provide.

1:07:46 He's not given nothing until we sacrifice something and walk to the top of that mountain. And often times when we see situations, and I'm just going to be honest with you, and some of y'all be honest back with me. When I come over here, I look around and I think to myself, this the last place needs an offering. I need an offering. Come on. If you're being honest, preachers, come on now. Did have you driven up here and gone, you know, hello. I mean, look around. I mean, my god, that LED screen could be at the Super Bowl or something. I don't know. But

1:08:32 it's not about just that. One year I was going to give him a birthday gift and I thought to myself, what do you give somebody that has everything? And I I I realized you give them whatever comes from your heart so that you can believe for everything. A woman comes to Jesus and breaks open an alabaster box. And you know what the religious people were saying? And of all people, come on y'all. They sitting there going, "This could have went to a more productive place. That's what they were saying. They were judging the fact that an offering was

1:09:19 going to something that they didn't think had a need. Did y'all hear what I just said? They were aggravated that an offering was going where they didn't think there was a need. And when we went to Israel, we found out and we visited a lot of places and some of the shepherds and the pastors while we were there in Israel. And the average home in Israel was less than 600 square ft. And I don't know if you ever been to dinner at your mama's house, but when I would go home to my mama's house, we had,00 ft. So we were almost double. But look here. I didn't have to

1:10:05 get in the door to smell what my mama was cooking. I could smell it from the from from we called it a carport. Are you here? So if they were cooking and that's what the Bible says they were doing. They invited him to dinner. If they were cooking, you know the aroma feel that room of that food. But yet when she gave her best The Bible says the aroma fill the room. That blew my mind until the other day when I was at Publix grocery store.

1:10:51 Y'all don't know what no Publix is in Columbus. Meyer. I'm at Publix and I'm walking and I was going to buy Kindle some candles and I looked up and I saw some cans up there that said Fbreze. Anybody ever seen Fbreze? And the spirit of the Lord spoke to me and said, "You do realize Freeze doesn't change the odor." What? It doesn't eliminate the odor.

1:11:36 Huh? No. No. No. I got bad news for you. The older you were trying to escape from, it's still in there. But the Fbreze overpowers the odor and takes over the atmosphere that once was something else. And when you give God your best, listen to me. Whatever you sow tonight toward this camp meeting, I promise you, take me at my word, your situation is not going to change while you do it.

1:12:21 The same problems you came here with, you going to face when you get back. But I'm here to tell you something. There is a God that can overpower every situation that you walked in this building facing financially in your church, financially in your business, financially in your family. I don't care what it is. God says there is a power. And we too often think what we have is not enough. And I promise you, what I'm sewing tonight will not meet the budget of this camp meeting. But I do know this. Nobody thought two loaves and five fish

1:13:08 would feed everybody in the crowd either. So tonight when you sew your seed, I want you to know everything in your life from this night forward can shift just like Abraham's did on that mountain and just like that woman's did, Mary's did in that living room when she broke that alabaster box. If you want your life shifted, you have to release a seed into what you're believing for. Amen. Tonight, we're going to ask you to sew. And we have all the ways you can sew. You can text to give. You can give many,

1:13:53 many different ways. If you're watching us by way of uh YouTube or Facebook Live, we thank God for people that understand the power of a scent word and not a seated one. Sometimes we think the only way we can get a word is if we're seated in the room. But Jesus told the centurion, "I don't have to." Or the centurion told Jesus, "You don't have to come to my house. Just send the word to it." And that's what we're going to do tonight across the airwaves. We're going to send a word that we believe is going to change people's lives. If you have an if you need an envelope, uh, ushers are right behind you in your seats and you can get them right there. And God is

1:14:40 going to bless you, increase you, and God is going to remember your sacrifice because when it comes time for heaven to give you what heaven has to sacrifice to give you, which is abundance overflow. You know, I had somebody the other day tell me, Pastor G, they told me they said, "I p Bishop, you know, they they came to me and they said, I need you to pray." I said, "What do you need me to pray about?" They said, "I need you to curse the enemy on over my finances." I said, "You want me to curse the enemy over your fin?" Yes. I said, "Well, do you tithe?

1:15:26 He said, "Excuse me?" I said, "Do you tithe and give offerings?" He said, "Well, yeah." I said, 'Well, it's already cursed. He's already The Bible says that if I tithe and give my seed, the Bible says he will rebuke the devour for my sake. Tonight, I'm here to tell you something. As you sow, come on, somebody. God says, "I will rebuke the devour over your finances, and all people will call you blessed." Blessed coming in, blessed going out, blessed in the city, blessed in the field, blessed in the fruit of your basket, blessed in the fruit of your womb. Somebody shout, "I am." I am blessed. Father, I thank you tonight for every

1:16:11 swer in this building. And I ask you to bless them according to your covenant word and curse every demon power against the finances of their families, their friends, and their homes, their ministries, their businesses. We command it to be so in Jesus' name. And everybody shouted, "Amen and amen." Come on. Is anybody hungry for the glory of God to invade your generation? Come on. Is anybody hungry for the glory of God? Make some noise in the room. I want to teach you this quick chorus. Okay? Sounds good. It goes like this. We're singing glory,

1:16:58 glory. We're singing glory, glory. Weight of your glory, come and fall upon us. Holy Spirit, come and fall upon us. Weight of your glory, come and fall upon us.

1:23:15 Come on. Is anybody hungry for the glory? Lift up a shout of the Lord. Oh Jesus. Praise God. Thank you, Bishop Clint Brown. I got, you know, I got a good anointing during this camp meeting. I've got Clint Brown who was with me for 15 years. I went over and told Kendall, I said, "That atmosphere that was in here when I brought him up here, he used to do that three services a week, every week of the world from a big grand piano that sat right over there. I love you. I love

1:24:01 you, Kendall. Thank you. Thank you for all those years. I don't have a truer friend on earth and I love you." And then I got my son and daughter over there. They too were with me. Well, Miss Lisa was with me for 15 years. I believe G was with me longer than that. And I shouldn't say they were with me. I mean they were right here in Columbus with me, all of them. And uh they helped shape this ministry. And uh I've always believed that music and ministry are one thing, not two things. And if you needed an example of that, we sure had one go on to heaven this week. The great Jimmy Swagger.

1:24:53 Boy, you talk about a comeback story. Talk about redemption at its finest. [Applause] What a what a marvel. What a marvel. the forgiveness, the grace, the love of God's people. Yeah. But we've still got one of those around. And some of you, this may be the first time you've been acquainted with him. I certainly hope not. Uh he is a a a man that is Renaissance. He he reaches back to the tried and tested principles that have dethroned principalities and powers in the past.

1:25:40 And with the other, he reaches forward to a new generation, to its promise, to its power, to its potential. He's been the same ever since I've known him, and that's been a day or two. He was born and raised not in West Virginia. God bless y'all. You know why West Virginia's almost heaven? Cuz it's right next door to Kentucky. He was born and raised in Northern Kentucky. And I don't know a man, although he's used literally around the world for decades. I don't know a man more faithful to a region

1:26:26 than Pastor Tommy Bates has been to Appalachia. And I'm telling you, the souls, the fire of God throughout those mountains was sparked by Tommy Bates and still blazes today. He and Terra have been married 35 years. We can thank God for that. They've got three beautiful children. One of his sons is uh a member of the Valor Christian College Board of Directors. Uh has an earned PhD. I should have invited them all. We'd had

1:27:12 bluegrass tonight. They're all accomplished musicians. They're all highly educated and they love God with all their heart. Right now he's building a building about like this in uh paid for paying cash. Yeah. That's called faith. You're paying cash for it. His church is Community Family Church in Independence, Kentucky. Started there in 1981. Been there 44 years. Give God glory for a pastor who stays. Well, Tommy, I've been here 48 and a half years, been preaching this gospel

1:28:00 for 51, and this is the 40th anniversary of Dominion Camp Meeting. Pastor Tommy, I I invited him in. I believe it was a Sunday night. We had over 800 in the youth group at that time. And he went to preach it and I never saw the fire of God hit young people like it did. We had hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of young people that had never been here before get baptized all over this platform and altar in the Holy Ghost. Miracles, signs, and wonders. It was I believe it was only revival. I said, "Let's go on." Yes, sir. And I don't know how long we went, but we

1:28:46 should have went longer. The fire and the power of God. When I was thinking about this 40 40th anniversary, I wrote a book for it called Pentecost if only if. And I said, I want dominion to be full of the power and the Holy Ghost fire of God. They said, who do you want? I said, I want Tommy Bates. He's a Pentecostal general, songwriter, accomplished musician. Most of all, he's my friend. My friend for all these decades. And I love him.

1:29:31 And I want you to welcome him to the pullpit of Dominion CAM meeting in this 40th anniversary. [Applause] [Music] Well, praise the Lord. Let's give it up for the host and the visionary of this house, Dr. Rod Parsley. Let's give God a great praise for him and his family. Praise the Lord. You can be seated. I just want to straighten something up real quick. I've been married 46 years because my son is 45 years old and uh I want to I want to I want to keep it that

1:30:18 Oh, I Yeah, listen. We're allowed to do that. We're allowed to do that. And uh my goodness, so many memories that are with me tonight. And uh he was talking about that powerful meeting, the revival spirit that was in this house. And God allowed me to be a part of it. I was a nobody from nowhere and still am, but the Lord allowed me to be a part of it. On Tuesday night of that meeting, we had over 1,500 teenagers carried out of here speaking in unknown tongues. That was unbelievable. On Tuesday morning, on that Tuesday morning, a powerful thing happened. The sp the spirit of God moved upon the the the school. They have the private

1:31:04 Christian school. And the spirit of God fell. And the children told their teachers, their teachers didn't understand it. They said, "We don't want to eat lunch. We want to go pray." It caused such a what are we going to do? How many of them want to go? Over I think however many had in the school that time. Five 600 or more. They all came in here. And uh another thing that happened that day was Austin had privately been educated and he said, "I'm going to that service. I want to go." It's Tuesday morning, unannounced. There was no clowns. There was no music.

1:31:52 You know what? There was nobody but God in here. And I'll never forget Austin came up here. He prayed. I believe he's baptized the Holy Ghost, spoke in other tongues. Such powerful things and memories of of how God moved. And in that six months, he called pastor called solemn assemblies. And in that six months, all nine gifts of the spirit were evident, visual, and in operation. Now, the one that I don't remember who this sister was. I'm sure she's gone on to be with the Lord now as it's been 19 years ago, but uh

1:32:37 she had a radio station and everybody knew who she was. She had crippling arthritis and the only way they could barely get her in the door and she was way in the back. Now, the risers were full. Folding chairs everywhere you could put a folding chair. And the power of God moved all over. And she threw that assistance down, her walker, and the crippling arthritis was gone. Amen. Now, she went to she went to the doctor and he was Arabic and she came to him. This is how I know all nine because I thought, now we haven't

1:33:24 heard divers's tongues yet. We haven't heard somebody actually speak in another language yet. We've seen all the rest of them. Miracles beyond your imagination. Incredible miracles. And when she came in, he says, "Oh my, what has happens to you?" She went to tell him and she started to her understanding. She was speaking in tongues. Her cup was running over. She was speaking Arabic. He talked back to her in Arabic. She talked back to him in tongues. He answered her again in Arabic. She answered again in tongues.

1:34:10 And then he says, "You don't need me anymore. You go and have a happy life." Hallelujah. Aren't you glad he's still the same [Applause] in that meeting? Ashton was so shy and so quiet. And the Lord gave her prophetic words. So many prophetic words. And and just watching watching her develop into the woman of God that God had planned for her from her conception is is wonderful. And I asked her, I said, "Can you find me that book?" Because this book, Pentecost, if

1:34:56 all you young people, anybody, but especially you young people, Pentecostalism is not a denomination. It's an experience. It's a prophetic word by the prophet Joel. My great great grandmother was Methodist, received the baptism of the Holy Ghost in Klay County, Kentucky, 1906. picking peas in the pea patch. She never heard of a Pentecostal. There was no such thing. No such thing as a church of God. There was a United Pentecostal, nor a divided Pentecostal, nor a charismatic, nor anything else. Nobody was fussing or fighting over anything. She began to speak in other tongues as the spirit of God gave the utterance and uh the the power of God

1:35:45 moving so strong. And this is contains contains information. You need to know when people say, "Well, what faith are you?" You can tell them there's only one Lord, one faith, one baptism. And if they ask then, "What denomination you are?" Say, "Well, I attend a spiritfilled church." Well, what's a spiritfilled? Because Joel prophesied before the coming of Messiah, before he comes to Jerusalem to sit on the throne of David that in the last days, God's going to pour out his spirit. And he already did it on the day of Pentecost. But he said that's an early reign. But there's a latter-day reign coming. And the book of Acts is only a documentation of what to expect

1:36:32 when the latter rain came. God had to document it to keep the carnal minds of men from making up a story and telling everybody this is the outpouring. He said, "Uh-uh, you're not going to do that to me. I want it in the book of action of the church. I want to document it. I want them to know when the outpouring comes, there'll be nine gifts of the spirit. When the outpouring comes, there'll be angelic visitations. When the outpouring comes, the spirit of God is going to lead you and guide you in my name. You'll cast out devils. You'll speak with new tongues. You'll lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. This book contains stories. It contains

1:37:17 history of who you are. You're part of the outpouring. This is not just a freedom to jump up and down. This is the this is the results of the outpouring of what God said he would do before the coming of Messiah to sit in the throne room of David. Hallelujah. You need to know names of Agnes Osborne. You need to know the names of William Seymour. You need to know the names of the things that are in this book. And you know what? On page 39, this is something you don't know, but the pastor's culture jumped out of him right in the middle of this book, his hillbilly came forth

1:38:03 on page 39. And if Mama Parsley, probably uh Brother Parsley, if he was here, they would stand in honor. And and it's on page 39. And if you're wondering why this is in here, and you say, "Why did he put this in here? This doesn't make sense." It's his culture from Appalachia speaking to you. And it goes like this. I will standing on the banks of the river.

1:38:52 Missy, would you and Josh Bowman and Dr. Professor Eric Bates, come on. Come on. Help me. Let's Let's give Pastor Parsley a treatment. Brothers and sisters, this is totally unrehearsed. I'm not even sure if they know the song, but they knew how they do know how to sing Mountain Melody. Josh is from Grundy, Virginia. Eric's from his mother, my wife for 46 years is from Harlem County, Kentucky. Josh, come on. Get around me the oldfashioned way. Here's the words. Let's just uh you you don't have to stand up unless you're just doing it because you You can't sit down. All right. Yeah.

1:39:39 [Music] Oh, I was standing on the banks of the river, looking out over life's troubled sea. When I saw an old ship that was sailing, [Music] is that the old ship of Zion? I see

1:40:25 it. All was bad and bad from the storms of life. I could see. Waves were rough, but that old ship was sailing. [Music] Is that the old ship of Zion? I see. That's all the treatment you're

1:41:13 getting tonight, brother. That's it. [Applause] And by the way, come here, Missy. If you don't know it, this is Appalachin Mountain Missy with her cooking channel. Has over 700 or close to 800,000 viewers. This is Appalachian Mountain Missy with Mountain Cooking. And we're glad to have her with us. Hallelujah. Oh, glory. Give me an Eflat. Oh, I shall forever [Applause]

1:41:58 lift mine eyes to Calary [Music] to view the cross where Jesus Jesus died for me. Oh, how marvelous [Applause] the trace that caught my falling [Music] soul.

1:42:45 Oh, he looked beyond all my faults and he saw my need. Let's all stand together. Hallelujah. We give honor to the Lord Jesus Christ. Give honor to Dr. Rod Parsley. Hallelujah. And we cannot wait to get our new sanctuary. I've been preaching four services on Sunday for seven years. 9 10:45 12:30. And that's exactly what I'm going to do in the morning. Hallelujah. And uh looking forward to having that. And looking forward for Dr. Rod Parsley

1:43:32 to preach in that new sanctuary. Oh yes. Yes, of course. Hallelujah. Proverbs 24:es 3 and 4. Through wisdom is a house builded, and by understanding it is established, and by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Just for a few moments tonight, we're dealing with the subject, a new house with empty rooms. Let's pray. Father, we come to you in the name of Jesus. Let this word be preached with love, mercy, compassion,

1:44:19 demonstration, and power of the Holy Ghost. We give you all the praise in Jesus name. Let the church say, "Amen." Amen. You may be seated. Just for a few moments tonight, we're dealing with the subject through wisdom. We're dealing with the subject a new house with empty rooms. Our text is found in Proverbs chapter 24:es 3-4. The Bible said through wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, the house was built. In the scripture, when we talk about building a house, it refers to building your life. No one just has a life accidentally. You have to build a life. Jesus said in Matthew 7:4, "Whoever hears what I'm saying and does the things that I have said is going to

1:45:06 be like a wise man that builds his house upon the rock. He hears and he obeys." Obedience is an act of your will. We've been given the privilege of choice. There's nothing else in creation that has this choice. The turtle's going to lay her sea eggs on the same on the same place. She's laid them for years. The stork is going to fly in the same direction. But we are creatures of choice. Obedience is an act of our will. Since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, the Garden of Eden is the place of perfection. It's when the human race was in total union with God.

1:45:51 Sin entered into the world through an act of willful disobedience. It wasn't a liquor bottle. It wasn't a wild party. It wasn't a hoot nanny or the shind dig or a club. Sin entered into the world in a willful act of disobedience, exalting the thoughts of man higher than the thoughts of God. God said, "Here's everything here. Just don't do this." The thoughts of man said, "I think God missed it on this one. This is looks good." And the willful act of of disobedience. At that point, a mighty gulf separated the human race from our God.

1:46:38 A way to God personally has been restored through the Lord Jesus Christ. He's made a bridge over the troubled waters of sin that had been that has been built by the cross of our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. In 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse 18, the Bible said, "For the preaching of the cross to this world's system is foolishness, but to us which are saved, it is the power of God." Because through the message of the finished work of Calvary, Christ has made unto us wisdom that's given us a new mind. He's made

1:47:23 unto us righteousness, right standing before God. Sanctification, it's his idea. He's the one that set us apart. And redemption. We've been bought with a price. Therefore, we glorify God in our body and in our spirit, which belong to the Lord. Christ has made unto us wisdom. Wisdom is the mind and the thoughts of God. Jeremiah the weeping prophet, he said, "I see a day coming. I don't understand it, but I see it coming. In Jeremiah 31:es 31-33, he said, "The days are coming, sayaeth the Lord, that I'm going to make a new covenant with the house of Israel. This shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those

1:48:09 days, sayeth the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts. I'm going to write it in their hearts and will be their God and they shall be my people. In the book of Hebrews, the word of God tells us 12 verse 24 that Jesus is the mediator of this new covenant. The apostles, those that followed Christ, the disciples, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, all three wrote this down in the word of God in the Gospels. This is the blood of the new covenant. This is the blood of the new covenant. So through the new covenant, through wisdom, my life is built. The

1:48:55 Bible said in Romans chapter 12 that we're transformed by the renewing of our mind. We are like a uh like a little worm that's in metamorphosis. We are being transformed by the renewing of our mind. The old fallen nature thinks it's I if does not think the way God thinks. God's ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. And so we submit our thoughts to the thoughts of God which are written in his word. In 2 Corinthians chap 10:es 3-5, the Bible said, "Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.

1:49:43 For the weapons of our warfare are not natural, bless his name, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds." The weapons we have are not carnal. They are not natural. I know a lot of people trust in trinkets. They trust in pictures. They trust in a lot of things and some of them are good things. It's I have a prayer shaw, but that's not how I get to c get to God. And I might lose somebody on that one right there. I I have a chauffear, but that doesn't make the devil leave any quicker than the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I remember we had a woman call the church and she said, "Oh, I don't I

1:50:29 don't know your church, but something's happened. There's demons in our house and the the strange things are happening. My children are afraid to go asleep. And we had a a a family in the church that he was actually a doctor and uh he went to a seminar and he got him all kinds of instruction on how to cast the devil out. And so we sent up we said, "Well, he knows so much about casting the devil out. Let's just send him over there, you know. So the rest of us just just let him go over there." Well, one of the one of the brothers on staff said, "Well, I'll go with them and make sure everything cames comes all right." They got out of the car. They had looked like a some type of a looked like a a cedar chest of some kind. And it had handles on it. She had one end. He had the other one. They come to that

1:51:16 thing out of there. And when they did, they opened it up. Oh, yes, they did. And they started getting the flags out. They put the flags on the property. Jehovah Gyra, my provider. Jehovah Siginu my righteousness. Jehovah Shalom my peace. Jehovah Rowey my shepherd. Jehovah Arafa my healer. Jehovah Ni. He fights my b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b battles and it causes me to win. They put all of those around that house. And then he puts his prayer shaw on. She puts her prayer shaw on. And then they get the chauffear and they start walking blowing the chauffar across the You know what? The devil had already tore up the whole house by then. My aunt Helen only went to the second grade from the mountains of Klay County,

1:52:02 Kentucky. She called Jeremiah Jerry. And for the word here, she said here. And for the word there, she said there. But one time the devil got in a woman's trailer. And she said, "My husband's so mean as a drunk. I don't know what I'm going to candle him anymore. He beats us. He beats the kids." Uh, and Helen came over there to that trailer over in the mountains. Uh, and she said, "Open up the windows, honey." And she said, "And open up, you do you have a back door?" "Yeah, there's one over there. Open up that black back door." And said, "Why? Well, you want him out of here, don't you? We're going to get him out." And Helen with her secondderee education walked in there shaken under the power speaking in unknown tongues and said, "Satan, get out of here.

1:52:51 Get out of here." And the devil turned around and said, "What did she say?" And one of the demons said, "You better get yourself out of here or we're in trouble." Listen, it doesn't take all of those trinkets. Uh you've been covered with the blood. The weapons of your warfare are not carnal. They're mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. Hallelujah. What are those strongholds? If I was to ask you what the strongholds are, people say, "Well, there's some addiction, some alcohol." We've been doing that all night long. I know. Been watching the screen up here. We've been talking about kicking out addictions, kicking out things that keep on coming back and sweeping this out. But the strongholds, the Bible said, are the mental images that are in your mind. uh the mental thoughts that are in your

1:53:36 mind. Uh it's the exalted thoughts that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God. Uh but the Bible said we cast down those imaginations uh and every thought that exalts itself above the o above the uh knowledge of God. Uh and we bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Uh do you hear? You've got a new mind in you. Uh, you've got a new mind. Uh, I was preaching a revival up in Harlem County, Kentucky, and they begin to sing. You know, in one of those one of those revival when you run out of songs and the place is packed and people are shouting and there's many people outside receiving the Holy Ghost laying on the floor out in the parking

1:54:23 lot, I should say, on the black top. Uh, and I heard somebody start singing, uh, Holy Ghost got my mind, Lord, my mind is gone. Holy Ghost got my mind, Lord, my mind is gone. Holy Ghost got my mind, Lord, my mind is gone. Oh, my mind, my mind is gone. That ought to happen to every one of us. The reason why we don't pray is because we think we have a better way. The reason why we don't give is because we think we have a better way. The reason why we are have trouble with worldliness and everything else uh is because we think that God's wrong uh and we've got a better plan for our lives uh the

1:55:09 reason why we're hooked up and unioned with people we should not be hooked up uh and in fellowship with because our carnal mind uh argues with God said don't be unequally yolked with unbelievers. Uh but our carnal mind said I think I'll get them saved. Uh, you can't even get yourself, you can't even keep yourself saved. Uh, how do you think you're going to get everybody else saved? Uh, it takes the We must submit to God. Uh, when God puts you on an assignment, uh, you don't have to worry about it. Uh, I'm saying when God puts you on an assignment, he'll give you the words uh, that'll cast out every power. Oh yes. I say yes. Oh yes. Yes.

1:55:59 Hallelujah. Woo. [Applause] By wisdom, by the mind of God is my house built, by understanding. My life is established. How? What is understanding? It's when you come to the final decision that God knows more than you do. God knows more and that makes you totally dependent on God. Uh established. Uh the search is over. The doubts are settled. Uh hallelujah. I've come to the conclusion. Uh I'm I'm I'm not an expert at being married. Uh I'm not an expert at taking care of my money. I'm not an expert at

1:56:47 raising teenagers. Uh, I'm not an expert at finding a date. Uh, I'm not an expert at doing it this kind of business. Uh, when you finally get rid of your highmindedness, uh, and you finally submit yourself, uh, to the word of God, uh, and you begin to say like the old-timer said, uh, I know the Bible's right, uh, and somebody's wrong. Uh, I know the b the statutes of the Lord are right. Uh, rejoicing my heart. Uh, one day you're going to say, "The commandment of the Lord is pure. The requirements of God are pure. My eyes have been enlightened. Uh, God's not trying to kill me. God's not trying to take anything from me. He wants me to have the best uh, the greatest life ever. That's why he went to Calvary. He

1:57:34 went to Calvary. He shed his blood. Uh, he lived a pulperous life. Uh, in order to give me the riches of heaven. I will submit my life to him. Give him a shout of praise. Yeah. Woo. 1968, James Cleveland wrote that song that my son Josh can sing the rafters down on it. Hallelujah. God is the strength and the joy of my life. He moves all misery, pain and strife.

1:58:20 He promised to keep me, never to leave me. You got to get that's understanding. You're never going to be established till you get that kind of an understanding. Your house, you may have
