 to do today to praise and bless the name of the Lord our God. Can we lift our hands before we sing this morning? Make a place in our hearts, make a place in this service for our Lord. Father, we thank you today. Lord, we thank you for bringing us each back into your house on this beautiful Sunday morning. And we've come for one reason, and that's to honor and glorify our Lord and save your Jesus Christ. Let every song and song and every word that's spoken today be to magnify and glorify and lift you up. Because this is the promise you said, if I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto me. And so God, there's some of us who are waiting on family to be drawn to you. They're waiting on neighbors and friends and loved ones to be drawn to you. Many prayers have been prayed for them to be drawn to you. But your word said, if I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto me. So Lord, let us lift you up with our songs of praise in our worship today. You are God in this house, and we bless your name. Let the people of the Lord praise God this morning. Put your hands together. And let's honor him today. Hallelujah. We praise you, Lord Jesus. You are worthy today. Hallelujah. This is your name. Strength in our refuge. We give you praise this morning. You can give it to him in the storm before the storm and after the storm has passed, because he will seize and keeps us in his strong. We give you praise. We give you praise. We give you praise. In the presence of the Lord, his name is Jesus. He is our redeemer. He is our victory. He is our righteousness. He is our freedom. And as the word of God says, he who the Son has made free. He is free indeed. Is anyone free here this morning? Give the Lord praise. Hallelujah. This sanctuary. Let's get you to remain standing today. I want us to go to the Lord in prayer. I know many of you have walked into this house today and you have a need in your body. You need a touch from the Lord. God's grace and God's strength is sufficient for you right now. If you need a miracle today, we serve a miracle worker. How many of you believe that today? Say, man, you know what word a man means? I'm coming into agreement and I want you to come into agreement that whatever you're facing in your life, whether it's discouragement, depression, stress, anxiety, you feel like the weight of the world is on you. I speak peace and strength over you today and you will not leave the same way you walked in here today with somebody say, man, this morning, Pastor Rogers preached out of Joshua chapter one, verse five, yes, last week, that I will not leave you. I will not forsake you. I will not fail you. And that promise is for his people today. So God is able to touch. I want you to remember the Berks family in prayer, the Karnley family in prayer that God will minister and give strength to these families. The Jack Berks funeral will be tomorrow at Lewis Funeral Home, 12 o'clock visitation. The service will be at one PM. I want us to believe God to give these families strength in this time of sorrow that God can minister to them. Whatever you have made in your life, let's come together in agreement. Let's believe God to do great things in this service. Mighty God, we love you. We thank you for the privilege we have to be in your house. We thank you for the sweet presence of the Lord that we sense and we feel even right now. And we're asking by the grace of God, by the power of God that you would reach down your hand and touch the sheep of your pastor today. You know what your people have walked in here with. You know what they're facing. You know what they need in this house today. And I pray the God of peace, the God of healing, the God of strength, the God of comfort would fill this sanctuary right now that not one person will leave today the same way. If they need strength, strengthen them today. If they need encouragement, lift them up today. Father, you are able. We're so grateful that we call upon a God today that hears and answers our prayers. A God that is touched with the feelings of our infirmities that know where we're at, that knows us even better than we even know our own selves. God reach down your hand and let today God be a day that we will never forget, that we will have an encounter with you and our lives will be forever changed. We declare this and ask this in Jesus' name and somebody shout amen and amen and let's give God some praise in the sanctuary. Come on, give God praise this morning. Oh, hallelujah. Is there anybody glad to be in the house of miracles where a spirit of revival is in the house where God's presence is welcome, God's glory is invited today. Come on, give God some praise. He's been good to us. He's been good to us. He deserves our best praise, our highest praise, our best praise, our highest praise. You are worthy this morning. You are faithful. You are true. You are good. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your long suffering. Thank you for your patience towards us. Hallelujah. House for the next few moments.

Amazing, amazing youth ministry, children's ministry where your teenagers and your children can get plugged in to ministry that will impact their life and help navigate them through some troubled waters in this day and hour that we're living in. They need that strength. Pastor Rogers is preaching a series on Wednesday nights entitled The Forecast, and that has been an amazing series. And so we encourage you just to come and be a part of the great things that God is doing right here at PACE Assembly. Home folks, let's give all of our first-time guests a great big round of applause. Thank you so much for being a part of PACE Assembly today. Several things that are taking place around the campus, that's on the screen behind me. Make sure that you tune into that. And also whenever you came in, you received a bulletin. Make sure that you look on the back of that and see where you can get connected to and get plugged in. This is a hoppin' poppin' Pentecostal church. And so we're glad that you're a part of it. Amen, and God bless you today. It's a great privilege today for us to be able to give to the work of the Lord. I want our ushers to come get ready to receive, ushers are coming, right? Okay, I'm making sure I'm getting this right. I'm sorry. For our ushers, before you give, we wanna have a word of prayer over the tithe and the offering this morning. But real quick, to February 27th night I wanna honor Israel with Pastor John Hagey. Today is the last day for you to be able to sign up to volunteer. And so we encourage you to do that. And that's gonna be an amazing, amazing evening. So we're looking forward to that. Amen, I want us to believe God to bless the tithe and the offering. And as we give today, just honor the Lord, there are buckets at the end of the row. And so just follow the instructions there from our ushers. Thank you so much. Let's pray. God, you're good and you're faithful and we thank you, Lord, for all that you've done for us. Thank you for the goodness of God. Thank you, Lord, that you've been so faithful to our lives as individuals, to our church corporately. And we just pray for your continued blessings, God. We thank you for it. And what you're gonna do in Jesus' name, amen and amen. Praise God. Thank you, Pastor Jason. Good to see all of you in the house of the Lord. You're glad to be here. Amen, look at your neighbor and tell him you're looking good. Tell him you even smell good, I think. Amen. It's a blessing to be in the house of the Lord. And I am grateful to God to see each and every one of you here, those of you that are watching online. From out of town and around the world, we are delighted to have you with us as well. A number of folks that are needing the healing power of God. And so I encourage you to continue to pray for them. The Lord is certainly the healer. Before that I preach this morning, I want you to put that map up. If you haven't been in Wednesday night, messages in the forecast, Bible prophecy, you need to be here. I don't have time to rehearse everything, but I do wanna bring you up to date because things could be transferring at any moment. Are owned and will pay real close attention to me now. You got all their money ushers? If this was the last time an offering you gave, have you done what you're supposed to do? Because the worst thing in the world that could happen is for the rapture to take place and you still have that $10 that God wants you to give in the offering. I'll just leave that with you. I don't have time to go into the details. So I need you to go online from last Wednesday night because what I'm teaching in Bible prophecy is not something that is way far off that can't be your mind wrapped around. It's happening even as we speak. The United States has said, leaders in the United States have said that this past, within the past 48 hours, that it's very possible that a Ukrainian strike could take place this week, even on Wednesday, as they pointed out. There are a number of nations, including France, that is involved in what's taking place with negotiation. But on this map is the map that is most of the time identified as the Gog and Magog map. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you gotta go back and watch this past Wednesday night. We go into the great detail of that. Ezekiel 38 and 39. In fact, Ezekiel 37 through 39 describes the rebirth of the nation of Israel in a day and how that dry bones would come back to life and they have. And so it is in this tiny spot right here, in some places less than seven miles wide is the tiny nation of Israel. There are a number of things that you need to be watching for. I was fully expecting when I got up this morning for the headlines to read that rushes across the border. The Ukraine is in the block just above the word Meshach and it's right here to your left. Russia is planning their entrance into the Ukraine. And these names, Put, Kush, Meshach, Magog, Rosh, are all written in the Word of God and easily found on the map today. Rosh is the ancient name for what we now call Russia. Isn't it interesting that we don't, we used to call it the USSR, the Soviet Union, but it is now Rosh or Russia as the words are described. You're watching right now as the rhetoric has been ratcheted up even the president of the Ukraine has said, I don't understand why that the United States and other governments continue to push the rhetoric of the entrance of Russia. We are preparing but we're not in a place where we feel like a crisis. This past week the United States took the embassy employees and civilians and President Biden warned that if they do not get out there's not a promise that we could get them. Unfortunately, as I speak today from the incidents that we knew and have occurred and happened in Afghanistan, there is now one American civilian. There's a whole lot of Americans that are still in Afghanistan that were left behind but there is one civilian this week that is under the captivity of the Taliban. The Taliban is so strict in Afghanistan of what's going on there, so ratcheted up that if you steal something it's immediately severing of the hand. There is a number of different things that are happening around our world but you better keep your eyes open this coming week and watch what's happening on the world map and the world stage because as I speak you're watching as Russia is flexing its muscle along with two other nations in Cahoots. That is Iran, otherwise seen on this map and in your Bible in Ezekiel 38 as Persia. Not only that but China. China, Iran, and Russia. Written about in the Word of God thousands of years ago by the Prophet Ezekiel is now the formation of what you're seeing as a coalition of states, nations. That are preparing and isn't an interesting. You're not hearing about what's happening in Israel but I will tell you that they're preparing because they know what takes place in Ukraine would very possibly be what the Bible describes, the evil thought that is put in the mind of the leader of Russia. That now if I can so easily go into the Ukraine what would hold me back from going straight to Israel? Now friends in my humble opinion I truly believe that the rapture could take place in a simultaneous event of the war of Gog and Magog. Could happen before or after, I don't know. The only thing I'm gonna do is just tell you as a church and those of you that are watching because you will not hear this in the average church. Don't care if it's simply God or not the average church is not talking about Bible prophecy because it seems to be irrelevant. We're just trying to get everybody good so you can hang out down here. But if you're a Bible believing Christian and you truly believe that Jesus' words are true that he will come again. I don't know how much worse that it needs to get in our world. One preacher texted me late last night from Washington state and said, pastor what you're teaching I'm following we're watching this and we both were in agreement about what we're seeing and I texting back to confirm that we are in the days of Noah where immorality is off of the chain, that violence and the perplexity of nation that I talked about this past Wednesday night is happening all around. This convoy, this freedom convoy that has locked down Ottawa has now been connected with what they're calling on the news media extremism. Extremism according to the DOJ of the United States of America is what is linked together with insurrectionists and people that are against the constitution of the United States or the agreements, the covenants in Canada. It's happening in Russia, this freedom convoy or rather in France I should say and multiple other locations around the globe. You know why? Because it's not about vaccines. There's only 15% of these truckers that have not been vaccinated. Most of them have been vaccinated. You know what they're sick and tired of? People telling us what to do and stripping our freedoms and telling us where we can eat, where we can't eat. Now I do strange things on Saturday night when I get through studying and preparing myself for today, I sit down and watch things like the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler. That's your nighttime viewing. Within 30 minutes of this particular program I was watching late last night, every element of what you see going on right now is happening as it was in 1939 and the ratcheting up towards World War II. Ladies and gentlemen, the world is in a vacuum for leadership and I want you to hear this. President Biden was on the phone last night with President Putin and they're trying to work out the details of the Ukraine. And according to world reports, not here where CNN is a spokesman for or other organizations, I watched overseas what they were talking about, read what they were talking about. And they said their conversation, the President of the United States conversation with the President of Putin came up with nothing. He had absolutely no influence over President Putin. You know what that says? The America, not the military. Because I can tell you right now, if the military and true leaders that were patriotic, there wouldn't have been one person left behind in Afghanistan and I can assure you there, every battle that we would have ever fought would have been won and they would have come home in pride and not spit on like Vietnam. So believe me, there's a difference between the mindset of leaders in America and around the world, specifically in America and the freedom loving people of the United States who care for one another and love one another and are patriotic and wanna be able to serve God in freedom. So hear me, I don't know what's going to happen and it's very obvious that even our national government and other governments are not understanding what's taking place either. That would be called in the book of Luke 21 that I taught this past Wednesday night, perplexity of nations backed up against the wall and don't know what to do. But as a child of God, I know what to do and I can tell you that you can expect, how many of you got your power bill and saw that thing go up? Some of you did. I can tell you right here, the power bill from December to January for the church right here, when we cranked it up, we got our bill the other day has risen more than $2,000. You calculate that over an entire year and I can tell you that that's not just small money on any account. They say if Russia goes in, that oil is going to spike. This past week, you've already seen the stock market fall as a result of the saber rattling in wars and rumors of wars that are going on. Friends, NATO, the nations that have aligned themselves together to be allies together are not even together on what they should do. So now the United States is out in the front and a few other governments like Germany and a few others that have sent arms to the Ukraine. But NATO is not even in agreement about supporting the Ukraine because the Ukraine is not a NATO member. There's an evil thought that's being perpetrated in the mind of the leader of this organization, of Gog and Magog, right out of the Word of God. And I can assure you, ladies and gentlemen, that as days continue to progress, you're gonna see what I've been talking about to you from the Word of God and how important that it is that you have yourself and your family ready to meet Jesus Christ. He could come at any moment. I wanna poll this congregation. This is not a poll. You will get on CNN, ABC, Fox News, MSNBC, or anybody else, but here's the poll. How many of you right now, without any doubt in your mind, are ready to meet Jesus Christ in the rapture of the church? Now just give the Lord praise right now for the name being written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Come on and bless His name. Come on and bless His name. Bless His name, bless His name, bless His name. I'm going to preach in just a moment, but I'm asking some help to come up where it's even, I've had this song on my heart and I told them to be prepared and so I've asked them to come and join me. In a moment, I'm gonna preach from the Book of Psalm 46. God is our refuge and strength. A very present hell in trouble. You're gonna need this and so am I in the days that are ahead. I have a confidence in God today that God is still gonna be God when it's all said and done. Can you say amen? Lift your hand and just bless the Lord of glory this morning. He's worthy. When clouds of doubt hover at storms of life toss me to and fro there's a place of refuge that I can go that's so sure and true. It's good for me in your testimony in your Bible in the Book of Psalm, chapter 46. The Bible reads like this. Follow with me and mark it if you will. God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble. Therefore, will not we fear though the earth be removed though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. There is a river the streams thereof shall make glad the city of God the holy place of the tabernacles of the most high God is in the midst of her. She she is in the midst of her. She shall not be moved. God shall help her and that ride early. The heathen rage the kingdoms were moved he uttered his voice and the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Come behold the works of the Lord. What desolations he hath made in the earth. With wars to cease unto the end of the earth he breaketh the bow and cuteth the spirit of thunder he burneth the chariot with fire. Be still O ye saints of the Lord be still and know that I am God. Exalted among the heathen I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Silah. Look at somebody telling me he's always there. Father thank you for what you're doing in this building right now. Open our ears to hear what the Spirit would say. And we give you glory for it in Jesus mighty name. Let all the church say a good amen. Turn to somebody telling me he's always there. He's a obscure 19th century preacher and carpenter. He spent most of his lifetime serving and preaching in small rural communities. Many times the offerings the financial support that he get would not even be enough to survive on. Made it hard for his family but through all the lives ups and downs and after a long struggling time he put his hands to work and built a house for he and his family to live in by his own hands. They enjoyed that house, lived in that house, his fateful wife beside him. And while he went to preach another engagement that was far away local thugs where he lived got together and decided that because of his gospel preaching that they didn't like they came and burned the house to the ground. When he got back his wife had certainly survived and the house was totally destroyed and it was out of that experience that George Young picked up a pen and paper and wrote in shady green pastures so rich and so sweet God leads his dear children along where the waters cool flow bays the weary ones feet God leads his dear children along and then he wrote this you might recognize this more some through the water and some through the flood some through the fire but all through the blood and some through great sorrow but God gives a song get this man looking at the ashes of his house he said in the night season and all the day long you should read the lyrics because any soul that has worth its salt will be written out of a place of pain and crisis and I can assure you ladies and gentlemen that life is certainly filled with blessing and you should drove yourself to church raise your own hand and worship God in spirit and in truth how many blessed people are there in the house today and then there are those times of waves of calamity trouble times I want you to know whether you're blessed and on the mountain or feeling like those waves of calamities are overflowing your soul wherever you are there is an assurance that comes from the Word of God that promises His presence at all times and I want to make it clear to you this morning it's not just at all good times but it's at all times to know God is to trust God many people are falling away from their faith today simply because they will not take time to know their God they've heard about God they've heard stories about God that personal relationship that they need in the Word of God and being able to know how do I know my God through the experiences that you go through and you walk with Him hand in hand and then you come out on the other side to find out God has been faithful for me and my house has God been faithful to you in your house say amen the word omni or the prefix omni omni not to be confused with omni which would be linked with cron which is a virus that is dissipating and I can't wait for Dr. Fauci to say it's all gone but before he does it's all gone that's a sermon for another day omni omni is the term prefix all what it means the three and some describe four I won't talk about the omni benevolent God I want to talk about the major three that we hear about in the omni attributes of God's character I'm teaching you a little something and then I'm going to bring you to this place that you need to be because there are three attributes that I want to speak of the omni potents if you will, omnipotence we would say some would say omni science but it's omniscience and omni presence omnipotence means all powerful this is the God that we are serving here today I need to give you this omniscience is all knowing he knows everything there's not anything that God doesn't know omni presence means he himself is present everywhere and each one of these are interactive because they're from God and in God and they are God these descriptive attributes they all involve one another and so it all describes in the Scripture about the Lordship each one of these are described in Scripture of the Lordship of Christ or the owner God, the owner, 7000 times in your Bible the word Lord is used and it is the all encompassing all knowing, all powerful all present everywhere at the same time God let me break it down the omnipotent or an omniscient all powerful God the Bible confirms and affirms that God's omnipotence when he's saying that God does whatever he pleases to do in the Book of Psalm chapter 115 and 3 nothing becomes too hard for him in his all powerful omniscience in Genesis 18 and 4 his word never becomes void according to Isaiah 55 and 11 it will be spoken and it will accomplish what it has said it will do in the middle of all of that people disobey God and that is the essence of sin disobedience, rebellion against God you're seeing that on a rampant if you want to call it pandemic a pandemic of sin across our world and yet even God is in control even of sinful actions that he turns them to work together for his good purposes even in our life his word will always prevail in his omniscience and we could trust him and the prophecies that are yet to come according to Deuteronomy 18 verses 21 and 22 you'll note I give you a lot of Scripture here today because it's not my word confirming it it's God confirming what he said about himself the God who is omniscient has the complete and total control of everything that means today while Mr. Putin and President Biden and other leaders in the world think that they're in control of what's going on in the Ukraine I want to make sure and make this declaration known to everybody listening God is in total control of all that is happening in our world right now even the smallest details the Scripture describes his omniscience is there as he sees the falling of the sparrow and numbers the hair on the head of every individual here according to Matthew 6 and Matthew 10 the events that are random and sometimes people call it fate are really God's work in action according to Proverbs chapter 16 and verse 33 so don't call it fate don't call it random acts you better call it the working of God in spite of what's taking place he determines watch this the nations that will dwell in their territories according to Acts 17-26 he decides what kings will rule and where and when they will according to Isaiah 44-28 he decides the purposes of a ruler whether they will stand or whether they will fall God decides that the wicked people would get together one day and would take the life of his only begotten son so that sinners like us could live the abundant life according to Acts 2-23 and 24 God rules not only the important events of human history but he's also involved in the individual lives of people in his omniscience he knits us together according to Psalm 139-15 in our mother's womb so never let it be said that it's a protoplasmic blob of nothing and it should be done away with or used for experimentation as has already been declared you can know that God forms you in your mother's belly and knits you together in their mother's womb according to the word of God it is the omniscient God who decides whether we will actually travel or stay at home take that right away from government control of mass mandates and everything else change chapter 4 verse 13 and 17 says that if we will go into another city as the Lord will or will not I want you to know God is omniscient and very much in control he also exerts the power to save sinners according to the Scripture to give us forgiveness in a new life according to Ephesians chapter 2 verse 6-8-10 our salvation was entirely the work of God Almighty we had nothing to do with it and I believe in Christ and you believe in Jesus Christ because he has appointed us unto eternal life Acts 13 and 48 and because he opened our heart to actually believe according to Acts 16, 14 and 15 therefore we serve the omniscient God the God who is omnipotent the God who is omnipresent he is the God who is very much in control and the universality of his control means that he has all things under his own power your powerful God he is the omniscient God the all-knowledge God the all-knowing God there's nothing that God does not know I know you put it in your hidden context in your phone but God knows what your password is even when we're sinning God is still there in all knowing God's power is not a blind power everything God does has an intelligent purpose and a definite goal he alone possesses all knowledge that would be breaking news to some that are in authority right now God knows his own intentions God knows everything in himself in his creation and throughout history are you still with me this morning Scripture tells us that he is the universal knowledge God Psalm 147 and 5 God is our great as our Lord and of great power his understanding is infinite the Bible says God knows the details happening in the earth even in the future the Bible says in Psalm 139 verse number 4 before a word is on my tongue you know completely already all well consider Isaiah 46 and 10 I make known the end from the beginning God says from ancient times what is still to come God said I knew everything that's going to happen I know what's happening right now in the world I want every believer to know this morning that you serve a God who is all knowing from the beginning to the very end he went to the end and wrote it and then he went back and he started it up and cranked up your life when he needed a Joey Rogers to come on the scene he said I need you to drop into earth in your mother's womb in the month of October the day 24 and 1963 and I already know you'll be standing in the year of our Lord 2022 with a microphone and a Bible to tell people that I am the all knowledge God so before you trust science and before you trust man and some trust in chariots and some trust in horses but I will trust in the name of the Lord the name of the Lord is a strong tower the righteous run in and they are saved the all knowing God if you want to know something ask God Bible said in the book of James he imparts us wisdom wisdom that when we ask he gives it to us liberally all knowledge at all time God's omniscience all knowledge is based upon his authority for it is he is the supreme judge of all things he's the ultimate standard of what true and false really is I want to make sure you understand that not only does God know what is true but his nature is truth therefore truth is what he says it is according to John 14 and 9 by word is truth in other words it is impossible and inconceivable that he would be wrong about anything look straight at me because I know your spouse and the person sitting next to you one time said I'm right I know I'm right but I want you to know there's only one that's been right I wish I had help over here on the north side of assembly he says that if God is true and let every man be a liar his word is true so you don't have to don't take it to the bank they'll only give you 250,000 but if you'll take it to God with your doubts your fears and all of your faith bound up you'll find out he's a God who knows everything sees everything and is right now present in this room God's knowledge is a blessing to God's people I'm at 139 such knowledge is too wonderful for me the Psalmist said it is high I cannot attain it God's knowledge of us pursues us wherever we may go whether the Bible said whether we make our bed in heaven or down in hell or great distances away or dark places verse 7 through 12 the Bible says he knew us when he was forming us in our mother's room verse 13 through 16 then and every day of our lifetime sense on this earth let me talk about the omnipresence of God he's present everywhere all at the same time God's omnipresence is every place all the time where can I escape where can I go there's nowhere you can go get on a plane and go to 35,000 feet and God is there dig down to the lowest ditch hide on an island somewhere in the Pacific and God is there put your head under a pillow and pull the quilt up to isolate yourself from the sounds and the people from the outside world and God slipped up underneath the cover and knows what you're thinking right now I feel like preaching I don't know about how many of you in there are getting this but I can assure you when the earth begins to move and the mountains begin to quake you'll be looking for something where the presence of God can give you peace I give you Jesus he's the water you drink and you'll never thirst again to say that God is present is to say that he is here with us really here not absent that's the reason why God says to us I will never leave you and I will never forsake you sometimes we connect a person's presence with their body so when the teacher calls out Jimmy are you here the class member responds present because the body is in the seat but God does not have a body he is a spirit so how can we tell when God is present or absent the Bible declares that he's present everywhere all the time because we see his power and we perceive his knowledge everywhere the interconnecting of these three attributes are not something to be misunderstood every event everywhere takes place underneath God's auspice and his power and his omniscience and his omnipotence and all of it is implied by his omnipresence his omnipresence is the presence both in place and in time in other words God who is not in time who is in eternity it's still electing into time to be involved with humanity like us someone 39 says that he's present every place he is the creator of heaven and earth and so he is in every location the creator at the same time he is a God who has no beginning and he's a God who has no end God can enter time and history and interact with humanity at any point he wants to God entered time in the body in the fullness of Jesus Christ where he died rose again was buried and rose again to save us from our sins so God's omnipresence is not just some theological conclusion it is an absolute truth and fact of redemption we have sin and deserve God's judgment but God declared from the beginning I will never leave you and I will never forsake you this is a good place for you to worship God because in that while you were yet a sinner God said I will never leave you and I will never forsake you you mean to tell me pastor while I was sitting in that crack house shooting up God was with me yes cause he's everywhere all the time anytime every time oh pastor I don't know if I can believe that what you got to God was because the presence of the Lord was real inside of your life try to hide from God and God will find your hiding place we've sinned and deserve God's judgment but to his people and to the sinners of the world God said I'll never leave you and I'll never forsake you out of all the promises found in the Word of God I'll prosper you have good success all of the promises of God 3000 plus promises this one rises to the level for me of number one cause there have been times when I didn't have a dollar and two nickels to rub together but God was there oh there been a time when I laid my head on the pillow and fever was so much taken out on my brow and I didn't know if I was going to make it but God was there there was a time when I remember sitting in the car next to mama on my way to the little elementary school that I went to school as a boy and she hit a slick spot in the road took her hands off the wheel and we went spinning and by the time it was over with we stopped right where we needed to stop and I can tell you God was there I remember when there was an accusation I didn't have me and kill me and hold me for ransom but God was there I remember in the hospital when my wife couldn't leave her head up off the pillow and all she could say was Jesus and I came to tell you he never forsook us God was there oh tell your story and tell it out loud God will never leave you or for safety and yes I'm yelling this morning because later this afternoon hundreds of thousands of people will get together and scream over a pig but I came to tell you God is still going to be in the middle of the Super Bowl drawing people to himself you want to lift your hand and thank God he's never left you are you be dead right now the Bible said that the dead don't praise God so as long as you got a mouth you better open it up and testify he is here God is here I said God is here I don't have to feel him I don't have to have warm fuzzies God is here because God said I am here you didn't hear what I said get in your car and try to outrun God and God will be sitting beside you because God said never leave you or for safety lift your hands and bless him all over this house all about 24 hours from now whenever the world is reeling and rocking I'll tell you there'll be some people that will have peace in their heart because God they know is never going to leave me and never going to for safety that's a good place to praise him I said that's a good place to praise him praise him let me tell you what happens when you praise him he'll come and sit down beside you and make himself know he's omnipresent that means he's everywhere there's a difference between knowing God is everywhere and knowing God is here I'm going to tell you how I live on timber creek drive at 5550 and so does my wife and she was there in the kitchen doing something with her back turn she knew I was in the house I knew she was in the house but she didn't know when I stepped up behind her she turned and said I said I live here you're not looking at me it's one thing to know God is everywhere it's another thing to know when I turn around there he is he's all over me and he's keeping me you've got to come up to I feel some gloom in his house if you give this revelation there's no devil in hell that's going to steal your joy or in the presence of the Lord in his fullness fullness of joy be in this house right now Lord Lord Lord Lord touch somebody beside you just touch him and tell him God's between me and you there he is we're touching and agreeing because he's right there with me he's here he's here he's here in his fullness he's here he's here he's here in the morning yeah he's here when I need him yeah he's here when I don't think that I need him he's here well some of you don't get it yet let me tell you when God shows up people get healed when God shows up people get saved when God shows up miracle signs that's what we're looking for the glory of God that's what you need on your devil's been robbing you of close to me they don't leave they don't forsake me tell your neighbor beside you I am is always there nipotent, omniscient all powerful God is all you can stand upon his word that's the kind of God look at somebody tell him that's the kind of God I serve I'm almost done be seated a minute that's what brings me to Psalm 46 help me preach this thing up in the risers this morning will you not sit there and act like God is not among you will you not sit there with your hands folded in the presence of an almighty God turn it up plan they don't get it turn it up pastor is getting too loud if you think this is loud we're about to have a holy ghost outpouring and it's about time somebody heard it on the outside of this house we believe in a God who is everywhere those words I heard was is it the right hand or the left hand we're supposed to operate on make any difference what they thought before I was ever on that gurney going into surgery be seated be seated be seated Emmanuel in the cost of church and I can tell you that's the one God looking for he's looking for a holy ghost tongue talking why have I got to tell you to do that huh you'll reach out and touch him passing by Emmanuel if I walk right he'll walk with me somebody ought to thank God for the times when you weren't living right but you said mama must be praying cause I feel him on the left hand this morning but I can't do it by myself I want to know is there anybody in here who believes God is a refuge and a help be seated be seated try to get this to you I'm gonna try to get this to you I'm gonna try to get this to you I'm gonna try to get this to you but when he walked in the house and it was a big crowd he stopped by talking to people but nobody was really recognizing who he was but the Bible says in the book of Luke that the power of the Lord was present to heal thank you for those three amen I said the book says I know you don't believe it cause you had to bury your loved ones I know you don't believe it because you're going through a crisis but I came to tell somebody he's already there pastor I think I will cause you see long before Lazarus ever went in the grave Jesus already knew he was gonna die it was for the purpose of God that Lazarus die and your Bible said that Lazarus was put in the grave and Jesus got the word he was dead and he said give me another piece of bread four days later no you don't think God is there but four days later Lazarus is laying in the grave four days earlier when Jesus got the news that Lazarus was dead he had to get their mind right he said in the Bible Jesus recorded words to his disciples he said Lazarus is not dead he's only sleeping so for four days Lazarus was just waiting in the grave sleeping until Jesus got there and said roll away your doubt and your unbelief I am a he that lives I am a he that is the resurrection I know you think it's gonna be a long way off but I commend you Lazarus rise and he came out leaping oh let the church come alive God is there what's it gonna take for you to recognize that no matter where I go God is already there is already there your neighbor tell him the I am is already there come on testify touch about five people wake somebody up tell him did you know did you know did you know in Pakistan and in Africa and Washington and all around the world God is not only here but he's he's in the hospital room somebody said they died alone oh no they didn't the holy ghost was standing in the person of Christ you better read the book and find out who he is people said when we lay our love one down in the grave guess who lays down beside him hope lays right beside him and on resurrection morning hope is gonna reach over and say it's time to get up they're not dead they're only sleeping why are you fearful oh child of God why are you worried about why don't you think about the omnipresence the all knowing the all power shall yes this song out of his mouth came these words trust is higher this song is the song of confidence I won't preach at all can't do it in fact I think the preacher is preaching on the inside of some of you here today I know you said he's everywhere but you don't know where I am let me tell you one of the tactics of the devil over the past two years to isolate but God made you a human being to communicate I'm in the room Charlie I'm in the room you see you see where I am but in order for the believer to have the consciousness of who God is directly connected to the nearness and the closeness and the nearness you ain't hear what I'm saying wake up at two o'clock in the morning and behold I am there make your bed in hell and behold I am there baby got a fever at three o'clock in the morning I will never leave you and I will never forsake you I wish I had a church that would glorify it right now right now you gonna need this and don't get mad at me for slinging, spitting and hollering because if I put the camera in the room this afternoon and one of your team members gets the gold we're gonna hear you all away to the Presbyterian church so I came to tell you I'm sick and tired of everybody's God being lifted up cause there ain't no God like my God the devil is not omniscient the devil is not omnipresent the devil is not omnipotent he's a little weeward lamp and if you'll put the praise in God is lift your hands and bless him all over this house open your mouth what's happening from this walker up and rent is that her running right there well thank God almighty somebody's in the house getting healed don't believe him right now God is working his work beating us for it my sermon is done for me if you need a healing if you need to get near to God come on right now all over this house come on all over this house you need prayer come on right now if you can I said you better move while you can if the Lord is doing it and he is then somebody will push you down don't care how many times you ask the Lord is presenting you right now let the healing flow let the healing flow let the healing flow let it flow let it flow let it flow let it flow let the healing flow let it flow let it flow let the healing flow come on reach out and pray one for another the Bible said you shall lay hands on the sick and see them recover reach around and pray one for another all over this house all of you that are on line reach out and take the Lord by the hand He's healing right now He's delivering right now. He's saving right now. The lips of voice say to God, come on and stretch out your faith this morning. God's in the healing minute. He's here. I said the Lord is here. I said the Lord is here. I said the Lord is here. I said the Lord is here. I'll revoke every disease in the name of Jesus. Be delivered this very hour from all of your infirmity in the name of Jesus Christ. Reach out and begin to pray one for another right now. You got faith? I want you to get up right now and go find somebody to pray with all around this altar and all in this auditorium. You're not here to spectate. You better trust this pastor. In 48 hours this world could be upside down. And what you're going to want to know is is God with us or not? My voice. Get up and go pray with somebody right now. He is a glory, glory, glory, rustic. In the head it touched me. Somebody touched me. Somebody touched me. He is the Lord. Somebody touched me. While I need some prayer warriors that'll open your mouth and call on the Lord. I know you're Jesus for myself. Somebody make some noise in this house. The Lord is not through in his tabernacle. Somebody will sing again. Come on, you ought to sing a little bit. You ought to come out of that place. God to be the Lord. Lift your hands and bless Him all over this house. Glory, glory, glory, glory. Come on, open your mouth and bless Him. I'm tired of living underneath the enemy's foot when God is my refuge and my strength. A very present help in time of trouble. Are you in trouble? See, when I say the Bible has the answer to everything most people don't know it because they don't read to find out what it says. But the Bible says in the Book of Proverbs that whenever animals get in trouble they run for a refuge. And the Holy Ghost spoke to my heart and said, ask Him, where do you run? Do you run to? Do you run to the crack house? Do you run to the bottle? Do you run to your favorite person that will always hear you and always understand? Well, that's wonderful. And I've had people look at me as a pastor and say, pastor, I thought you was going to be here. There's only one of me. Talk to me, somebody. There's only one of me. But God, He's everywhere all the time. They kept all your family out, Kenny, from getting in there. Sheila in the hospital kept them all out. Nobody get in there. We're afraid of COVID. You might get COVID. But God ain't scared of nobody. Come on, somebody. Long before we ever heard about any kind of variance or anything like that, God was already God. Don't ask God why. Now, He's big enough. He can handle it. I've asked Him why before. But don't just stop with that. Because if we know God as omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, nothing is too hard for God. This past week, I've been praying for all of these widows in the church. Recently, their husbands gone home to be with the Lord. I want to say to every one of you, widows and widows alike, God brought you to this service or you're watching online to remind you, I will never leave you. And even though you've walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod, thy rod, that rod will beat the wolf off every time he tries to pounce. And if I fall, your staff will pick me back up. And then everything changes in that song. He says, now I'm going to sit you down because your testimony just went to the tenth power. I'm going to sit you down and I, God, will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemy. That's what God's doing right now. I said that's what God's doing right now. You know why you need this message today? Because you're going to hit the door and the world is going to hit you in the face. And if you're not careful, what you got here in the light, the enemy will try to steal in the dark. But don't you forget in the dark what God told you in the light. What do you tell me in the light? What do you tell me in the light? I will never leave you. I will never forsake you. I will be with you always, even to the end when clouds of doubt of forms of life toss me to and fro. There's a place of refuge that I can go. He's a shield over all my life. He's an anchor that's so sure and true. It's in times like these it's good for all of us to know if your hands can confirm this in your spirit. That God he's a strong and mighty tower that I can run to that I won't tell it right now. Sister Shannon Beats came rolling that he'll never leave me and he'll never forsake me. Lift those hands and profess it. The nearness of the Lord coming to get him. And he said one thing I know I think you missed a good place because I've preached enough funerals to know when God's with him. He's never left but here's the problem they didn't know it. You know the way you know it when you give your heart fully to God. Now I'm about to pray because I feel a warring going on in the spirit realm. In fact I want some people in this room to begin to pray in the Holy Ghost right now. Would you do that? If you know how to pray in the Holy Ghost if you don't then open your mouth he'll fill you with Holy Ghost fire right now. That's what you need. That's the nearness of the presence of God. Because see I don't want the devil half broke. I don't want the devil three quarter broke on your life. The Bible said give no place to the devil and it's time you stop making excuses and go ahead and fully drop and surrender to the Lord and don't let one place in your life be a place where the enemy can get in. Come on begin to pray out loud Holy Ghost people all around the world in Africa and everywhere else praying the Holy Ghost out there in Texas the Lord is about to loose and break the bonds. Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah you can you try to get in the wrong place today. Reach over and get an agreement with somebody take it by the hand right now. Oh no devil you're not going to have my kids oh no my grandkids neither. I'm building a hedge all around them in the Holy Ghost right now I refuse to let the enemy steal kill and destroy. Come on pray out loud don't you get weak on me now not when you've seen a woman walk out of this walker here this morning you better believe God. Somebody in this room far from the shelter just ahead I could not see there was a lot of dark cloud they were heavy and full of rain full of trouble and then I felt the winds blew hard and the billows rolled. They started rolling in from the raging sea but the moment I said Jesus hey Jesus Jesus peace came anybody know that people hand is somebody that's in agreement with you right now now I'm right over at this section right over here and I could call names but the enemies fighting you hard this morning to believe anything about what I said but it's time to go to war wonder how you would fight if you knew a thief was coming in your door you better learn how to war in the heavenlies because this fight is not about mandates and principalities it's not about people and human beings it's not about flesh and blood it's about principalities and powers that are looming in the garden so I want you to begin to pray for the person you got to hold their hand I dare you to pray like you know how to can you pray like your mama taught you your grand mama and your hand your uncle you remember what I'm talking about I'm talking about fervent red hot prayers that avail us much God I don't want them or their family lost and if they're struggling right now in the name of Jesus break the yoke off of their life right now spirit of God sweep over their soul and let them feel the nearness of your presence like they did when they were a child come on come on come on I feel the adorning of God coming in here spirit of God fill them up God come on church come on get you in your house ready right now lay hands on your wife your husband the people around you when the enemy tries to come in like a flood the spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against you once I wonder far from the shelter just ahead I could not see the dark cloud but I say Jesus on this is it the last one say it's coming down if you need it you better get it while you can there gonna be times this week that you're gonna think since of God well I got some good news for you if you serve Buddha or Mohammed or Krishna or the humanitarian gods of climate change you'd have to leave your God in the building but because you serve the omniscient omnipotent omnipresence God when you get on your job this week and the billows begin to roll you know what I'm talking about everybody talking about everything but God have you heard the news they run out of cheese sure as I stand here I've been young now I'm old but I've never I wish I had some people that knew the scripture but I've never I've never seen the righteous forsaken nor come here come on come on nor his seed begging for bread whatever's on the head is gonna get on the kids my seed ain't gonna beg no bread no sir you know why cause I gave him to God a long time ago and I've never seen my seed beg they'll never beg bread when the world's on fire because what is on one generation can be transferred to the next generation that's the reason why I want the two of you to step here cause I might not get a chance to pray on you before you say I do take hands come on momma and dad my nika son nika tora ma mandika sura bata la bohoshay revik hito mahasho miketena mahasondra bohoshaya I am your strength and your help saith the Lord I have never left you and I have called you you are mine and the plans that I have for you says the Lord are more than what you can think or imagine for I the Lord God have called you from your mother's womb and brought you to the kingdom I brought you to the kingdom I have brought you to the kingdom for such a time as this spirit of God rest upon this young couple as they prepare to say I do I pray even now that you'll raise up another generation and succeeding generations that will glorify the God who is omnipotent, omnipresent and all powerful God to the glory of God may the generations that they stand under who have long gone on to heaven declare the God of glory to the third fourth generation says the Lord lift your hands and bless the Lord for a godly generation this day is a marked day this day is a marked day because from this day forward you will never be able to say that God is not with me go where you will there's not a time that I've ever gotten in a plane and flew when it's been cloudy underneath by the time you pull that thruster back and we shot through the clouds no matter what the torment no matter what the thunder when we got high up above it everything turned to sunshine and I've always looked out that window and said thank you God you're always there cloud all I can see is clouds it's alright God's above the clouds and He's still got you in the palm of His hand if He's got you in the palm of His hand I need a physical I need a physical I need a physical sign He's got you if He does lift those hands and thank Him that your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life you better lift it while you can Lord I thank you right now that you have me and my house firmly in the palm of your hand and when this world is on fire you are my refuge and my strength and you are my help in trouble now the Lord bless you and the Lord keep you and may the Lord make His face shine upon you may the Lord lift up His countenance give you His peace I close this service today not because the Lord is going to leave us but can I share with you mine and my wife's prayer just like last night Lord we were watching a video of a church service many years ago the power of God had taken over that service it was on YouTube we watched as the saints danced under the anointing of the Holy Ghost it was so captivating that it's been 30 years since that video but as we sat there and watched it and watched the power of God flowing through that massive crowd in auditorium we both came into agreement God do it at pace do it at pace do it at pace this is not just about us shouting over something but I can tell you right now that those that have gone on before us my dear friends they weren't shouting because everything was right they were shouting because He is my refuge keep your eyes on Jesus keep your eyes on Jesus you hear me? keep your eyes on Jesus God wants to pour out His Spirit and the tougher the world gets the more God is going to pour out His Spirit if you believe that say a good amen I want you to shake hands with somebody tell them the I am come on tell them the I am it's always there I'll see you Wednesday night
