 Come on into the Lord's presence and let's take a moment and spend some time worshiping the Lord and letting Him know what He means to us today. I don't know what God is going to do in this service. I don't come in any service expecting or knowing or planning what God's going to do. I just say God have your way. Today we've come into the house of the Lord. We've brought our praise. We brought our needs. We brought our prayers. We bring our praise. We bring it all to you. God you're worthy of it all. You're a big God. You're a great God and greatly to be praised. And Lord I'm thankful to be in God's house today. I'm thankful to be among believers in this house of the Lord where I know we're going to lift up the mighty name of Jesus. And if two or three agree touching anything it shall be done. So I know if I got a prayer or a need somebody in this house today is going to agree with me. And our faith is going to come up to the Lord and it's going to you're going to hear our cry. You love the prayer of the righteous and you love answering our prayer. And so God I expect great things today. I don't know when in the service. I don't know for whom in the service but I know God's going to do something in this service. And so Lord do it for me. I pray hallelujah. I give you thanks and glory this morning. Now God we invite the power and the presence of the Holy Ghost to be in this house today. Do what you want to do whenever you want to do it. And we're going to praise you for it. Because you're God and worthy of all praise. Isn't he worthy this morning church? Has he been good to anybody this week? Have you seen his hand moving in your life? Have you felt this touch in the night hour when you were calling out to God say Lord meet me right here. Has he been good to you? Come on let's lift up his praise in this house hallelujah. We bless you Lord hallelujah. We worship you today Jesus. Thank you Lord we've come to bless your name in the house of the Lord today. We worship the God who was, we worship the God who is. We worship the God whoever prison doors he parted the raging sea. It's a victory. We sing to the God who saves. We sing to the God who always makes a redeem by his grace. You're singing the actual scripture promise to us that says and we know that all things were together for good to them that love God to them who are called according to his birth things not the few things not just things that are no he said all things all things in the midst of your storm struggle problem whatever it is he's working it all out God is working behind the scenes making everything everything good for us what looks so bad God's going to use that bad and turn it around for good because he's called you for his purpose I know that there are a lot of people this morning that need a touch from the God someone might need a healing this morning someone's going through something this morning there's a lot of things that are that I know for a fact they're going around and I know that there are people in this room that you know that are watching online that need a healing in their body right now how many in this room you say you know what I need God to heal my body I know for a fact my family's at home little girl has strep right now and I know that she needs a healing in her body too as well but I know for a fact I know of a God who can do what heal anybody he wants to when he wants to and at the right time because he does that so he can get the glory not when man can do not wait anybody out no no no we look at it and we pray because we know that after it's all said and done he gets all the glory for because he is the healer I'm not the healer and neither are you the only one that can do that is Jesus Christ he took the stripes on his back for our healing and we believe that so right now if you believe that your prayers can touch the throne of men for anybody then I want to lift your hands right now let's go to God and warfare for those who need a healing this morning God we asked you dear God by the power that is in your name we ask that healing flow through each person that needs it this morning dear God whether they're sick in their body your God

one that can do it so we call upon you to do the miraculous healing that you get all the honor and you get all the glory right now now why don't somebody give God the greatest salvation morning thank

at brownsville assembly and i want you to put him on your prayer list and all day long today i want you to call on the lord in his behalf that god would heal his body i want you to know how important

latino ministry and i'm going to just tell you for those of you that are aware some of you might not be aware but this is the fact everything rises and falls on leadership and if you don't have the right leader in place to do that you'll find that it will fail over and over again and you try to get the right leader in the place well i can tell you there's only one that i've ever seen that has been not only successful multiple multiple times but when we were together in destin as we passed her down there there was an opportunity for us to stand up a ministry to the latino community and god blessed that ministry continues to bless that ministry today and i'm thankful for it i want you to welcome to this platform for a few moments as he comes to be able to bring you greetings and to share this important announcement would you welcome my good friend pastor jose alvarez to this pulpit come on let him know it amen praise god praise god this this is one excited guatemalan right here i'm just telling you amen uh and so let's just get the announcement straight up uh what's taking place you saw it on the screen a few moments ago but today is the official announcement uh with you being here of an exciting new ministry and i'm going to let you take it from there because you had a meeting last night at five o'clock an initial uh preliminary meeting and we're going to have another one this afternoon but would you greet the people and let everybody know what what's going to happen what he said was is my name is pastor jose alvarez and i want you to know that i'm speaking god's heavenly language look look look look all right all right okay which being interpreted means y'all better be here at five o'clock or i'm coming to your house to get you okay that is the heavenly interpretation i don't know a lick of spanish you understand well we've been here for um we've been praying for 17 years about this project all right stop right there get that what he just said go ahead and say okay 17 years spanish right there we've been praying fasting and seeking god's face and just waiting for the green light to turn on to launch into this new what i call new project and i do believe that this is the right time amen something beautiful something happened something awesome is about to happen i do believe that the lord is going to open the floodgates of heaven and the anointing that is already here he's going to flow in a double dimension something is going to happen something is going to sweep this land i command somebody something is about to happen i hear something about to happen because tonight tonight at 5 p.m. we are going to officially launch into what we call for now we call it latino festival what does that mean pastor jose that means that we're going to start working together and putting a pin a team together and we're going to start gathering special crusades mini crusade services for the latino communities oh come on somebody hallelujah hallelujah the first event is going to take place on the first week of uh october i'll be here on the 6th which is a thursday to do some preparations and everything everything is going to have to be ready then that day because then on saturday uh 8th and sunday 9th in this place we're going to gather all the latinos possible we're going to bring all the latinos that are in florida so hungry and so thirsty for the touch of god we're going to bring them to the right place they just listen to me they don't need another gathering they don't need another session club they just don't need another meeting they need a place where jesus can touch the light they just he might be the many of them are hurting so bad he might be that they are like the criminal of the campers he might be that they are lepers he might be that they are trapped in addiction he might be that they are trapped in immorality but if we don't bring them to jesus it's my shoe that you bring them to jesus please don't bring it to pato joey no please don't bring it to pato no say let us make sure that you and i get together to bring them to jesus oh yes they desperate they are so desperate another pastor asked me the other day why why florida and i said because they've been traveling for so many years to the honestly jungles a bit more because they've been doing for 33 years ministry and watermelon central america because i've been going to so many nations but i think it's time to give back a little bit after much has been given to us why florida did you know the reason why the people are leaving watermelon and central america the reason why the people are leaving central and south america they walking the leswellians are trying to escape from venezuela many of them i know when i seen them they've been walking listen to this they've been working in swimming in the amazon jungles or people to try to escape from venezuela and when you ask them what is it that you're looking for is this your final destination and they said no pastor has said we're looking for the american dream and i said you don't really know what you're looking for the american dream has been buried because they took god out of the schools because they took god out of the center core system what kind what kind of dream you're looking for stop seeking for american dream you better see for god's kingdom dream you better see for god's face if my people who are calling my name who hurt themselves and probably hear from heaven i will forgive their sins and i will heal the mindset listen they're trying to find hope for their children because they lost hope in their countries many of them are trapped in prisons i just talked to a mother she was so broken and she said pastor i shouldn't have ever brought my children to america they were going when they were kids they were going to kitchen of love and we were teaching them the word and so and so forth but she wanted a better future so she brought them to america and that mother told me i have spent more time in this court system than with my children i have visited them in prison more than i visited them when they were in Guatemala and she said pastor and today i came back just to bury my son that was murdered in Guatemala and you know that was one of the kids that was murdered right there in the corner of her ministry in Guatemala city i'm talking about something that i didn't read on a book or that i didn't watch on tv or in the news i'm talking about a true story a real story of something that happened to a family that i know jesus in the book of john chapter four the bible said that jesus needed it was a need it was not a want it was a need for jesus to go through samaria why why samaria you know some scholars said because they were a mongrel jesus they were they were a race that had mixed their ethnicity they had not only mixed their ethnicity but they have also mixed their beliefs their traditions their rituals and because of that they were not wanted so what they they would reject that they were despised and you know the story you know listen many of you know that many of you have been with pastor and i in israel and you know what i'm talking about it it would have been easier for them to just go through samaria but they would rather waste a lot of time that being in contact with somebody that was just despised and neglected listen when i see the whole world and i see god in heaven looking down the planets on the earth i can only think about the planet earth being like the samarians community because tell me if it's not true that we have mixed our ethnicity tell me if it's not true that we have mixed our beliefs this country this country was based on the war of god but we allowed other cults and other rituals and other things to come into this come come on somebody and i promise you that if you go and take a dna test they're going to tell you that you have that you have ancestors somewhere in africa somewhere in europe somewhere in asia so listen we are like the samarians but then god is in heaven look at jesus jesus you need to go down to the world to seek those who are lost so you it is a need it's not a one we need to do it are you getting what i'm saying church so jesus needed jesus needed and i do believe paces assembly of god that if jesus did it we gotta get together and do it it is a need for us to go to the latino community because if jesus did it for you it's better for you to be willing to do it for somebody else pastor when you see him by john chapter four verse 35 jesus tells the disciples he told the disciples oh you're saying that you still gotta wait for four months in other words you still got to wait oh yeah yeah yeah you got that out into now i'm not gonna do it today maybe tomorrow i'm not gonna call them today i'm not gonna invite them to come to church today no no no i'm gonna do it next sunday and jesus said you think you say that you still gotta wait but i tell you open your eyes lift up your eyes and open your eyes and see that the fields are white in other words the fields are ready the harvest is ready the latinos are ready they just waiting for you to bring them to jesus so that is why i'm here pastor we have to bring together and only god knows the perfect timing of everything to take place in the tri-county area of okalusas santa rosa and escambia counties based upon the last census there is 72 000 latinos in the tri-county area and i want you to hear what i'm about to tell you i realize that our southern border and the laws are being broken of the united states of america there is no question about that and that the leadership of america is allowing it to take place but i'm gonna tell you you don't stand up here and sing he's working all things together for my good because when you start looking at it several years ago when the muslims were uh immigrating into europe and into uh england all around that area massive massive amounts and there was an uproar and and certainly so breaking rules and laws and all that's taking place but but consider this especially in light of what could be by the end of the year as we discussed already some two million latinos coming across the southern border of america could it be that this is the last opportunity for the harvest that god is actually orchestrating people to come across to fill the places in churches where hungry hearts are finding looking for and trying to find a place to get to the cross if we don't do it then my question is who will come on somebody well i don't speak the language well neither do i but that's not a hindrance well i don't like what's going on neither do i but that should never be the hindrance because jesus loves you like he loves them and if we're going to be the body then the body is not all a white body and it's not all a black body and it's not all a latino body it is the body of christ made up according to the word of god of every tribe of every tongue of every kindred that is the body of christ now whenever he says that the fields are already wide into harvest that's not just some phrase out of the bible to get you to buy in this is the reason why the fields are already ripe under harvest please tell the people when you went to the restaurant you and sergio and their family what took place yeah i decided to is to tragically come uh one day or kind of two days before the meeting and i didn't know why you know but i landed went to the hotel and then sergio met me and he graciously invited me to have lunch with him he asked me where would you like to go and i said well i'm a missionary i don't really care you can serve me monkey you can you can feed me anything listen you don't get this big by fasting so take me whatever you want to take me okay uh it's not that i'm i'm proud of it but but this is the truth okay too much fellowship okay so anyway he he told me i'm gonna take you to a restaurant a mexican restaurant and i said okay good let's go i took me to this place that i never been before and immediately uh the waitress came and and i knew that she was not from this country and said you got into a conversation with her but i went and i asked her where are you from and she said i'm from venezuela okay how did you get here and she said i i had a visa i came in here legally and i said how did that happen and she said well everything was all right in my country i never thought i was ever gonna be here that i was ever going to need to live in this country uh we were doing just well finances were so good that i had a visa and i could come here and have fun with i would only come for vacations i didn't need to withdraw money in venezuela because i could use my credit card and debit cards here in america and just sweep them up and get that much cash as i wanted we were doing just right everything was well but then you know that everything all of a sudden changed and we were forced to leave the country so i came i stayed and then i brought my husband and my children and i look ahead and i said but you know why you're here and you know why you're doing so good and i said because the hand of the lord is upon your life and i'm gonna tell you this when you were hurting in venezuela you were praying and you were asking god to help you to come to this country and then when you got here and you got your children and you got your husband and you got a job and you started making money you forgot what you promised to god and all of a sudden i saw her face in the counts and i knew that she was about to break and i said you forgot it god gave you everything you asked for and then when you got everything you asked for you forgot about god but i'm gonna tell you for people like you is the reason that i am here i came here to tell you that jesus loves you and that he cared for you and she in all of a sudden she said pastor you are absolutely right because me and my family were christians we grew up in christianity we are but it's just been so busy and i said listen i know of so many venezuelans that are trapping the amazon jungles of beru with their children with their loved ones many of them die in the jungles trying to cross over because they are beaten by spoilsons naked listen the amazon jungle is not a joke and they they do whatever they gotta do they to cross over and i told her i said i've been in the prisons of the amazon jungles and there are so many venezuelans there in Guatemala we have so many venezuelans i've been in all different places and and many of them are trapping prisons and many of them died in the desert of trying to cross over to this country many of them have been put in jails and and and all of a sudden she said you're absolutely right because we have some friends they are not criminals they're just trying to find a hope and they were put in a car in a jail in texas and and we got to help them we got and i said you can pay for somebody and bring them out of jail and all of that but unless god builds the house if you don't let god be the center of your family if you don't let god be the center of your oh no you can give them money but nothing is gonna change what you gotta make sure that you give them Jesus and then i said listen this is why i'm here and this is why i came here i didn't come here just a tourist i came here to start preparing and getting ready for the harvest because god is about to do something beautiful here god is about to do something powerful and i said sir joe but is are you here now he might be interpreting right either interpreting or interrupting but he's up there hallelujah sir joe i love you so i said sir joe do you have a business card and sir joe said well i left it in the car and i said go get it she needs a business card she needs a car he she needs something we we gotta let him know where pays assembly is located and that the heart of the people here are so loving and so kind and so willing to embrace them and bring them to jesus so sir joe get the business card get me a car get me something well it only took a couple of and then she went on and they kept doing her business but she took a long time talking to us pastor but then we finished eating and we were we were leaving and i saw sir joe hesitating to go to where she was because she was uh preparing or fixing something working doing something and sir joe was kind of hesitating and i said sir joe you go okay go and give them the car listen before i even finish saying that i saw carmen coming out of the place where she was and she ran through what i was and she said do you have the car are white under harvest harvest is ready this timing this is the timing i want to tell you i would not even attempt to do something like this were it not god's will but i have no doubt in my mind that there is a harvest that is awaiting as i finished preaching last sunday morning at my friend pastor sam luke's church a man came up after the service i didn't know who he was he said pastor i believe god's giving me a word for you and for your church and he started sharing with me what god had placed on his heart he didn't know me he didn't know anything else that was going on and he started speaking to the fact that god has set this church up for a harvest in these last days that they're going to come from the north the south the east and the west do you remember praying that just a few weeks ago from the north the south the east and the west and they're going to come because this place has become a place where they can hear the gospel and the anointing of god is going to destroy the yoke in their lives you help me and you can interpret for all of our friends in spanish would you just lift your hands towards heaven as we dedicate this ministry to the lord father in the name of jesus christ we believe today is a day marked in heaven it's a day when you grace us with the vision of your heart we look upon the fields today and the fields are not just filled with one kind of people but they come from every tribe from every tongue and you've called this church not just to be for peace but a worldwide outreach to everyone and anyone lord jesus we take up your heart today we see the harvest and we're not going to wait your timing is now we pray your anointing upon this latino outreach and everything that takes place made the oil of your presence be poured out without measure bring them from the north from the south from the east and from the west and we give you the glory and the honor where it's in jesus name we pray and everybody that believes it shout a great big amen would you stand to your feet and give god the glory this morning for what the lord has to do would you let pastor jose know that you this church is with this ministry and with him bless it be the name of our god just remain standing if you will take your bibles and turn with me over to the book of Ephesians chapter number four Ephesians chapter number four while you're doing that let me just give you just a little bit i won't share all that is happening because there's so much while we were there at the christians united for israel summit one of the speakers was the former u n ambassador nicky hayley while she was there she chose to be able to throw her hat in the ring for presidency of the united states at the kufi summit there are others of course that will come along the way we're not here to abdicate or support any one particular candidate that's not what we're about it's not what kufi is about but christians united for israel has a tremendous impact upon our nation's leaders and i am thankful to say to you today that as i walked in to the office of senator rick scott and met with him and his staff that it wasn't some hard sale or twisting of the arm but when we laid out the three things that were so critically important even in legislation and all that was going on he was not only already an ardent supporter of israel but is fighting for every opportunity to be able to make sure that israel remains a friend of the united states of america when we entered into the office of congressman matt gates that continued support took place as we sat at the table and outlined all that was going on even educating some of his staff on what was taking place i can assure you that based upon what they're saying from his office that there is complete support for the nation of israel and making sure that since congress passed the funding for israel's uh weapons for the iron dome system that last year over 4300 rockets from israel's enemies were launched into israel and it exhausted their supply we asked them to get behind the support to release the funds that have already been there since 2016 so that they could replenish their supply because surely in the days ahead war is on the horizon as aran tells everybody just this past week we know how and are ready to put together a nuclear weapon that's how critical it is and then going into senator marco rubio's office who is up for election this year and based upon i'm going to make it clear i'm not worried about anybody you save your crayon papers for some other preacher but i'm telling you the marxist that is running against him cannot get into that office she is absolutely against israel in every way now let me make it clear to you from the leadership of our nation all the way through the rank and file of congress and all around the bible is very clear that the nations that bless the nation of israel and the people of israel will be blessed those that do not will be cursed whenever our president went into east jerusalem for the first time that a president visited east jerusalem and suggested even in his speech that we go back to the 1967 borders that israel could not defend herself as i listened to the former united states ambassador to israel david freeman in this meeting he made sure that we understood that for the first time since the reign of david and solomon that lasted 73 years continually we are now in the 74th year of israel being able to be under one banner without interruption we're in an unprecedented time and yet our president chose to go into east jerusalem and he said knowing that i have literally planned the trips to go in for the president of the united states there is nothing to the very meticulous detail that is left out so when the president of the united states took the israeli flag off of the one side of the beast the car that he drove into east jerusalem it was a sign to every israeli that we are no longer standing with you but we're standing with the palestinians what you need to know is is that what took place in recent years of the declaration of jerusalem being the eternal capital of the state of israel the moving of the embassy into jerusalem and the giving back of the golan heights to the into the nation of israel as protected territory and belonging to israel is not going to go without a fight for the days ahead as i speak this past week russia had a meeting with the leaders of iran iran is selling their drones and targeting equipment that is going into russia to fight against the ukraine along comes china with russia well i wonder if anybody has ever read anything about that in the word of god it's called ezekiel 38 and 39 ladies and gentlemen we are on the edge uh and the precipice of world events that have been prophesied from the old testament prophets and writers like we have never been before why are we pressing toward the harvest like we are here and why am i going to preach what i'm going to preach to you today is because we are at the imminent return of jesus christ and only those that are prepared and looking shall he appear the second time unto salvation i wish i had time to tell you some more in bible prophecy we'll do that a little bit later but i want you to make sure that you're praying for our leadership as we were walking from the senate side over to the house you may have caught the little uh one and a half minute i guess it was clip that i put on facebook and you may have seen on the news where uh congresswoman uh cortez and uh omar were uh arrested and they put on those fake handcuffs that event took place just before i got to the front of the supreme court when i did that little video uh i want you to understand there's still a fight going on for life but make sure and make no doubt about it that the nation that celebrates life from the womb to the tomb god will put his hand on that the nation that outlaws life god will remove his hand and judgment will surely come we need to pray for the leadership of america like we never had before and we need to be a church that is ready to receive the harvest and go out into the harvest and reap that harvest at this very critical time i dub every one of you here and that are online soul winners in the name of jesus christ go get the harvest all they're waiting on is an invitation and i believe god's going to give it to us can you say amen amen i want you to look in your bible in the book of Ephesians chapter number four Ephesians the fourth chapter if you found that say a good amen i want to take up just a few verses of scripture here uh i won't read the entirety i would encourage you to read it to yourself or read it uh when you get home but in verse number 11 i want to pick up reading there and he gave some apostles and some prophets and some evangelists and some pastors and teachers for what for the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of christ till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the son of god unto a perfect man under the measure of the stature of the fullness of christ that we henceforth be no more taught children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the slight of man and cunning craftiness whereby they lie and wait to deceive but speaking the truth in love but speaking the truth in love but speaking the truth in love may grow up unto him in all things which is the head even christ from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supply of according to the effectual working in the measure of every part maketh increase of the body under the edifying of itself in love this i say therefore and testify in the lord that he henceforth walk not as other gentiles walk in the vanity of their minds having their understanding darken being alienated from the life of god through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their hearts who past being past feeling have forgiven have given themselves over to lasciviousness to work all in cleanness with greediness but ye have not so learned christ if so be that you have heard him and have been taught by him as the truth is in jesus i want to just share with you quickly while you're standing in verse in in verse number 12 i want to pick up and this is in the niv listen to this carefully to prepare god's people for works of service so that the body of christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and then the knowledge of the son of god and become mature look at your neighbor and tell him his time to mature up attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of christ then verse 14 we will no longer be infants tossed back and forth by the waves and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming instead speaking the truth in love we will we will in all things grow up under him who is the head that is christ he goes on to talk about how that we should live and how we should conduct ourselves and i encourage you to read the rest of this chapter in its entirety as you can be able to have a clearer understanding of how we should conduct ourselves in the time that we're living right now today i begin a brand new series of messages called anointed today i want to talk to you for a few moments about anointed alignment i believe that god is speaking to this church to prepare the bride and to strengthen what remains you've been hearing me say that over the past several weeks this is not something you should take passively today this is not just another sermon this is a word from the lord for us and i want you to just lift up your hands where you are and get ready to receive it because the anointing is only going to come upon those that are in alignment come on let's pray together father in the name of jesus we believe that this service has been ordained of you outlined and already anointed by you and we ask you now lord to open up the windows of heaven and do what only you can do by pouring out your spirit upon those that lord will find themselves fitly joined together in the body of christ this is an hour when we must find ourselves in that place lord in the place where the anointing is poured out upon our life we cannot survive from day to day without the touch of god and so we're asking you now to do what only you can do in the mighty name of jesus and everybody believes it shout a great big amen turn to your neighbor and tell them you need to be in alignment with god in alignment with god you might want to keep your bible open and we'll refer to several passages of scripture here this morning as i begin this brand new series called anointed the time we're living in right now there is great division in our country and around our world and in local governments and so forth it's a place in a time right now where people are divided over even the smallest things and i want you to understand that it is the tactic of the devil whether it be your mind your family your business your church your nation to divide and conquer satan is into division god is into multiplication and this was learned so vividly for this passage of scripture and for this message today when several weeks ago i had taken my car in to have some service work done to it and they were supposed to rotate the tires and they did that and make sure things were ready and when i left from there i was of course always in a hurry just like i am and i was driving down 29 and i found that the steering wheel was pulling hard to the left in fact that vehicle has such mechanics and electronics in it that uh it was a fight for me to be able to hold it on the road i said i got to get turn around and get this thing back in the shop something's going to happen i can't steer this it's pulling and so when i got back to the dealership the next day and took it in they said well let's look at it and when they looked at it some adjustments to take place and they said we needed to realign some things in your car i said well i'm glad because when i left out it was much easier driving because my car was in alignment i want you to think with your head this morning and draw on this today will you put a draw on me today i'll preach to you if you'll put a draw on me the rotating of tires and the service work that was necessary is necessary for all of your vehicles i've driven down the road and seen people's tires i said well they won't be long that one won't work anymore they failed to make sure that things were in alignment but when they got it fixed it was easier to drive there's four things about alignment and i found this out from the great biblical scholars called bridge stone tires the first is watch these spiritual applications it reduces tire wear to have your car in alignment it reduces your tire wear secondly it helps your fuel economy you actually do better because your car is not having to fight to stay on the road and use more energy for that number three it is easier to steer it's not a car out of control it is easier to steer and fourthly bridge stone tire said that it increases driver's safety whenever your car is in alignment it's not only easier for you to control but it helps you to be safer on the road with all those crazy drivers out there i've driven this past week in washington dc and all around the area and i can promise you the people down here know how better to drive i can assure you that alignment is meant let me give you a little little foundation here this morning alignment is meant to adjust the suspension system it's not so much about the tires but it is about the suspension system that connects to the tire that connects to the car and in order for everything to work like it needs to everything needs to be aligned but it also needs to be lubricated in its joints in order for the system to function and work properly i hope you'll get with me or i'll preach till three i haven't preached in a week alignment is not just for your car it is for your spiritual alignment in christ and i'm preaching to this congregation here today to tell you that the head of the body is the most important of all the functionality and the spiritual alignment is the most important more even than your car if you're not in alignment with god you'll find yourself tired when you're not tired you'll find yourself worn out trying to do things that you could do easily before when you're not in alignment it there are people sitting here and watching right now that because their life is not in alignment with christ who is the head they are mentally physically and even spiritually worn out from the inside out it's hard to be able to identify it sometimes but i've come to tell you it's all about alignment somebody shout alignment alignment being out of alignment means that it costs you more when you're out of alignment when you're out of alignment god cannot steer your life because you're out of alignment you're out of control the benefit of being in alignment with god and his church is that there is a fruit there is a reward that comes from being in alignment with the body that is that the flow of the anointing will fall upon everything that is in alignment with god the anointing is the enablement of god to allow you and to cause you to do what god's called you to do without struggle and without sweat i've heard people tell me you know what i could do what you do i say hook it up but i'm just going to tell you you might be very gifted as a speaker but without the anointing there'll be no yokes broken without the anointing nobody will get saved nobody will get healed because it is not the fancy oratory of someone who is a good speaker but it is it is the anointing of god that comes upon the life of a believer who is lined up with the headship and the body of believers the body of christ that causes us to function and be able to accomplish what god wants us to do consider the words that are found in Ephesians chapter five verse 23 he uses the analogy paul does of the husband and the wife listen to this for the husband is the head of the wife even as christ is the head of the church and is the savior of the body therefore as the church is subject unto christ the body's not telling the head what to do the head is telling the body what to do so let their wife be to their own husbands and everything husbands love your wife as christ also loved the church and gave himself for it that he might sanctify set you apart cleanse you by the blood of jesus christ and wash you with the water the word that he might present it to himself a glorious church not having spotter wrinkle or any such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish for we are members of his body of his flesh and of his bones god is telling us very clearly that we're not our own entity we don't do what we want to do when we want to do it if you're going to be in alignment with christ that's what it means when you call yourself a christian christ like you need to understand that coming into alignment with god means that i am choosing to deny myself take up my cross that is christ cross and follow after him now let me give you the definition in the dictionary concerning alignment here it is the proper positioning or state of adjustment of parts in relation to each other so what does it mean to be in alignment with god pastor well it is when your heart and your life is right with god in other words you're acknowledging and submitting to the lordship and the headship of jesus christ we are made up of body soul and spirit we are first the spirit we have a soul which is made up of the mind will and emotions and we live in a body that you and i can see as a different characteristic this three parts of the spirit soul and body must come into alignment with god where the spirit rules the soul and the body when you have submitted your life to jesus christ he then takes control and you submit all according to roman's chapter number eight all of the members of your body unto the lord in other words we submit ourselves to christ as the head of the church and the bible says in Ephesians chapter four that we are fitly joined together with other believers to do what to form the body of christ christ is not jesus last name christ means the anointed one so whenever you're saying the but he didn't say we are the body of jesus jesus had one body he walked around on this earth while he was alive for 33 and a half years and he got a new body and went back to heaven like we will but he left the christ with us he said it's expedient for you that i go away if i go not away the comforter the christ will not come but if i go away i'll pray the father and the christ the anointing will not only come upon you and be with you but he shall be in you and the described in john chapter number four to that woman at samaria as well jacob's well that he will be like rivers of living water pouring out of your innermost being ladies and gentlemen we need the anointing of god to live for jesus every day you need the anointing to go to walmart you need the anointing to go to your job you need the anointing i need the anointing just to come to church and worship him unless we do it in spirit and in truth it is unacceptable but when the anointing of god comes things change or the atmosphere change but it means you must be in alignment with god why is that pastor because there's only one head i said there's only one head jesus christ the head of the church he's the one who's in charge of all things you need to understand you're not submitting to just some mere man you're not submitting to a system you're submitting yourself to the headship and the lordship of jesus christ hear me alignment is the process of submitting our will to the will of god it is getting your will your mind and your emotions aligned with god's will and god's word the bible says in isaiah that his thoughts are not our thoughts his ways are not our ways we don't know the ways of god unless we get into this word and find out his way his will and his work the reason why that the enemy is getting one up on many people today in the church is because of their lack of knowledge of the word of god are you hearing what i'm saying alignment with god is the process of pressure that comes into your life you don't get oil from the olive unless it's gone under pressure some of you are under pressure right now that if we just touched you on the shoulder you might explode right now because you're under such great great pressure but i want you to know with every great pressure there is a greater anointing that should come upon your life every situation that i've ever faced in my life as long as i've stayed in alignment with god and been according to his will god has always seen me through ladies and gentlemen through the pressure through the through the agony through the pain through the tears and when i came out on the other side that pressure turned into the anointing that would lead my life to a greater level i want you to know i'm not just preaching this morning i'm preaching to this pastor and i'm not just preaching just to pace but i'm preaching to people that are watching online but i want you to understand we're not going to be a church that's going to be doing our own thing when we want to do it how we want to do it we're going to line up with the headship of jesus christ and regardless of what this world does i'm going to stay in the body push your neighbor and tell them i'm staying in the body come on now alignment with god is a process of pressure it's pressurized only pressure makes the oil flow come on now only pressure makes the oil flow jesus teaches us flip over to mark chapter 14 verse 32 you'll see the story of jesus teaching us what it means to go up underneath pressure and to change your mind in the face of pressure to align with the will of god to summarize the story jesus goes into the garden of gethsemane with all of his disciples and then all of a sudden they move into another place and he takes only three a little bit further he walks into the garden and he leaves the three peter james and john and he goes the bible says a little further falls on his face and begins to call out on his father in great agony the bible says with great drops of blood and and mixed with sweat pours out his soul before the father and he prays the bible says under this great pressure knowing the cross is just up ahead he prays three different times he prays for the cup to pass him on the first time he gets up and goes back to find his disciples asleep he gets up the next time he goes back and prays and he prays for the cup to pass the cup of agony the cup of the cross is there any other way are you listening to me this morning this is what we do when our will and our spirit are fighting with one another to get in alignment with god's word i want what i want and i can tell you right now we're living in a society i watched it so vividly we were getting on the bus that carries us to the rental car when we arrived in washington and a man pulls up there is pushing his daughter in a wheelchair she is probably six seven eight nine ten something like that years old she's not able to function to get out of the wheelchair he's trying to get in a bus and people are standing around i'm standing there with our bags and waiting and giving a way to him to be able to get his daughter and his and their luggage on to this bus that's getting ready to close the door in fact the man closed the door the bus driver did before he could even get his daughter on the bus but but while we were standing there i'm standing there waiting and she's right here in the wheelchair and the man's trying to get the luggage on to the bus people just shot past her walked over the top of her wheelchair to get inside i looked at my wife and i said i don't understand how that the selfishness of mankind can be so raw and so vivid in the face and nobody cared to turn around and bother to do anything to help or to give way to somebody else ladies and gentlemen we're living in a world that is not in alignment with jesus trying when you can't even be kind to another person just because of their skin color you got a problem you're out of alignment come on let me preach here this morning i'm just telling you that when you're out of alignment you won't be nice to anybody did you hear what i said i said you won't be nice to anybody you'll just walk over the top of them and use them to be able to get to the next place but the devil is a liar why are we opening up this latino outreach because there's not enough ladies and gentlemen of people in this building and people watching right now to get in the body of crying there's still room in the body of christ and we need to move over and say come on in there's enough room for you to get in this body push your neighbor and tell him get in alignment jesus look at this vivid illustration jesus is looking at us and telling us very vividly through his own life in the garden of gethsemane which is identified as the oil press or the pressing place are you hearing me come on don't let nothing distract you here this morning i want you to hear this word because he gets into that place in the garden of gethsemane and it is the pressing place it's the place where they would bring the olives and put them under a great stone and crush them and grind them until there is nothing left all the oil begins to come out without the crushing there is no oil pastor i don't want to go through that neither do i but without the crushing there is no oil without the trial you don't have any oil but once you walk through the trial once you've been through the fire once you've been through the flood and you look up to the head and find him faithful you better go ahead and look out because whatever comes on the head is going to flow down the garments the anointing of god will destroy the earth under great pressure he prays three times and we finally get to verse 36 where jesus says these words these are the words that every one of us every day are brought to the place of love jesus prayed let this cup pass let this cup pass let this cup pass and he gets up the third time to find people around him sleeping at his greatest hour of need i'm just gonna say it straight up you can't align with everybody if they're not in the body and it won't have the mindset that's the reason why ladies and gentlemen i've seen people come and people go and people that one time we're serving the lord are outside of the body right now back slidden going on with their own way i want you to know something i love you the door of grace is open as long as he leaves it open but i don't have time as the pastor of this church to run around and nurse everybody back into the kingdom you better get yourself in the body and make up your mind we're going to stay come hell and high water because there's an anointing that's coming upon us whenever we get in alignment he said these words nevertheless be done i desire not what i want if i don't submit my will to the will of god and deny my own self you better hear what i'm telling you there's some things that are going to have to be set aside by you and your house and the days that are ahead because you're going to have to choose am i going to stay in alignment with christ the head or am i going to do what i want to do when i want to do it how i want to do it it'll be the difference between you living under the anointing or not he finds peter james and john asleep and what does he say in verse number 38 watch and pray let's g entered into temptation watch what's happening watch what jesus said for the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak the spirit one translation said the spirit is truly ready ready all the time the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak say that with me the spirit is willing but the flesh the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak the flesh will always be weak and the spirit will always be willing that's the reason why some people have not even come back to church after we've had the declaration of coveted now guess what oh here we go some monkeypox is on the way and if that isn't enough they're going to think up another variant i'm standing up here preaching right now to you with my ears all clogged up and mucus running down my throat and i've been that way for the past several days but i came to tell you something ain't no devil in hell gonna keep me out and nobody gonna mask me up ain't nobody gonna put a restraint because the body of christ has enough of the anointing to heal every soul in alignment with the head of jesus christ you better make up your mind see we've let other people tell us what the body of christ is supposed to look like and we've been looking at the wrong head and i just want to tell you tell your neighbor whatever you do oh come on tell your neighbor whatever you do don't lose your head they didn't believe you find somebody behind you and wake them up and tell them whatever you do don't lose your head if you lose your head it's all over with ladies and gentlemen well my heart is still beating that's fine but if you ain't got no head you ain't going nowhere whatever you do don't lose your head don't lose your leader don't lose the christ when you're alignment with christ if you got your head the head can heal the body if you're alignment with christ the head will give you the vision and the knowledge wherever you do don't lose your head don't lose your head don't lose your head don't lose your head i want to be in alignment i'm just telling you i make this declaration over this house i want to be in alignment with god in my life anybody there with me this morning i want to know is there anybody here i just i just need to know who's gonna get there because if you're not willing to get there i ain't preaching to you i'm only preaching to the ones who say you know what i'm ready to sacrifice whatever it takes to make sure that my life is in alignment with y'all watch this if that means i've got to apologize and say i'm sorry i gotta be willing to forgive because holding a grudge is not in the body of christ i said holding a grudge is not in the body of christ holding unforgiveness in your heart is not in the body of christ cussing somebody out ain't in the body of christ my way of the highway ain't in the body of christ if you're going to be in the body you're going to have to submit yourself to the head what's the head look like all you got to do is read the rest of infusions for and he'll let you know don't give place to the devil don't allow your mind to get out there in lasciviousness don't be acting like the gentiles act out in the world all they do is serve themselves and when it's all said and done they're consuming it upon them own cell but i'm looking for a people jesus said who's willing to be fitly joined together so that we can function for the body of christ because the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak i want to be in line in my mind people losing their minds today losing their mind have you met some folks that's lost their mind yeah you have i want to be in alignment with my mind i want my family in alignment with god oh what's that take well you can't lay them on the altar of satan go do your own thing and then come back come on somebody you better you better do whatever necessary to make sure your family is in alignment with god i want my business in alignment with god i won't be doing something that god doesn't approve of because i need his blessing to stay alive let me let me make it plain for you in the days that are ahead it's going to get tight for businesses ain't no doubt about it but those that are in alignment god's going to keep pouring out his anointing upon that how are you getting contracts and i'm not i don't know all i can tell you is i'm in alignment come on when somebody asked you in a line listen we've had one more a popular preacher the other day said if you bought one of my books on tithing throw it away i was wrong let me just tell you something my friends i don't care who it is the bible is right and whoever's book it is mine or anybody else at conflicts with this book right here they're the one that's wrong and i want to let you know i'm going to line up and keep on paying my ties i'm going to keep on giving my offering i'm going to keep on giving the missions i'm going to keep on reaching out to the lost into the hurting you know why because that's what christ the head tells me to do i want to be in alignment with my money i need the anointing on my money my wife walked into my office last night and she's getting the bills all done she said look at this monday you'll be making a phone call here is florida light and powers bill for the last 30 days 700 and she looked back she said we never ever in 12 years of living here pastor well i guess it just ain't nothing else you can do about it well that's the mind of that world out there see my father owned the coal in the ground before florida light and power he owns the gas in a thousand y'all ain't here when i'm saying if he owns the cattle he owns the oil he owns the coal he owns the gas and whatever he's got to do he gonna take care of me if i'm in alignment with the christ the head that's right i'll tell you what they say y'all with me i i want to be in alignment with god with my friends come on somebody i want to be in alignment with god about my future since he knows what is up ahead see in the in the headship of christ the head is where vision comes from he knows what my future is i need to be in alignment so he can tell me what i'm supposed to do i want to be in alignment with god over my past pastor who's worrying about your past the devil and you are what does god say about your past if you put it up underneath the blood i don't even remember what you're talking about what sins are you talking about i i put it under the blood don't talk to me about that it's on the cross it's gone if i'm in alignment with that and the devil comes and tells me that you're still a rotten sinner do you remember what you did in 19 whatever i have to tell him the blood the blood the blood well how do you know the blood works because i'm in the body and wherever the blood is flowing through the body it's flowing through me if you're in alignment you got blood on you that's what i'm talking about shouty ass somebody the anointing right of down flows wherever alignment is found never going up with people who are not in alignment with god did you hear what i said god told you don't get yoked together with somebody who's not in alignment with god you wonder why you're having troubles because of your alignments you're lined up with somebody who don't believe like you believe you don't marry somebody who you're dating somebody who's not lined up with the headship and all of a sudden their lust takes over and suddenly all of a sudden you find yourself burning like a fireplace on the couch come on for some of you that haven't had that action in a long long time i'm just going to tell you the young people today have no concern about that many our society has no concern about that there's no morals it's all anything goes but if you're in the body young person if you've been boy you came up out of this fearless conference and you had an experience and a touch with god i want you to know you tell whoever it is it puts her hand on you that tries to take advantage of you you ball your little fist up punch him right in the eye and say that's from my pastor i just got news for you i'm not going to get out of alignment because the head said uh the head said i'm going to keep myself bible says what worthy of your vocation the body of christ are holy people royal priesthood holy nation been called out of darkness into his marvelous light to show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light be careful of alignments look what's going on right now look at the nations aligning themselves russia and china and iran and who do they hate collectively israel and america thank god our senator who was up on the hill that i spoke to and spoke to his staff is already on top of the fact that china has been buying up farmland in the united in florida and is trying to do whatever he came to stop that from taking place come on somebody i'm talking about being lined up lined up be careful your alignments alignments sin pulls everything out of alignment here's what happens in a church sin gets people out of joint when your joints are inflamed and you haven't been lubricated by the anointing of god bone rubs against bone irritations come and people look at one another cross-eyed cockeyed and walk right past them and never say a word let me tell you what's what people are finding you're finding people and whatever you do don't think this just happens in in big cities right here in florida when we drove through our nation's capital we found tent cities all over that city city homeless really really is it homeless or has america forgot how to take care of its own poor i don't want to mess with you with that sin pulls everything out of alignment when our spirit is not in tune with god we're no longer being led by the head and by the spirit but we're operating out of our carnal mind and out of how we feel that's misalignment operate how i feel i feel like going to church today i i don't feel like we operate out of feelings today do we not it causes more pain in our lives when we are misaligned and out of the body now our nation is suffering for getting out of alignment with god did you hear what i said you can't stand up in the face of god and say we're going to take light like they were hollering and screaming on that street up there in front of the supreme court uh we're going we we want our freedom we want this ladies and gentlemen freedom carries responsibility and if you're going to be in the body of christ you got to line up with him and i'll tell you god is pro-life god is a god of the marriage between one man and one woman and before they lie to you about monkey parks ladies and gentlemen that is a disease that's coming upon the homosexual community and being extracted out to other people can i tell you if america doesn't fall on his face and get in alignment with god judgment will surely come and you mark it down today i said it because jesus won't have disease in his body jesus won't have disease in his body jesus won't have dis ease in his body and if we're in alignment with god we're not operating by our feelings for we walk by faith not by sight are you with me don't lose your head stay connected head speaks of government head speaks of leadership headship it speaks of knowledge and wisdom are you hearing me most believers even today are serving god from their heart and not from their head well pastor i thought i was supposed to serve the lord no the bible says it is with the mind that we serve the lord it is with the mind that we serve the lord if you're serving the lord from your heart from your emotional side then you'll serve the lord by your feelings and if today it don't feel like doing what god said then it will feel itself right out of alignment with god are y'all with me out here this morning i'm just teaching a little something and the bible says that we are to serve the lord with our mind with knowledge if you serve the lord by feelings someday you'll feel it and someday you won't come on somebody with the mind we serve the lord the headship of christ some people are living headless today i'm doing whatever i want to do operating by your feelings but if you don't separate your emotions your heart from your head you'll never serve the lord according to knowledge i don't serve the lord and stay in alignment because of how i feel because if i felt if i operated by feelings i probably wouldn't be standing in front of you here today dealing with all that i'm dealing with up in my own head oh preach master i'm talking about we've got ourselves in such a shape that we got fluid up in our head and you can't hear nothing going on but i got news for you there's a remedy for it when i align myself i can assure you thou anoint us my head with oil and my cup will run over i don't serve the lord because i feel every day i serve the lord through knowledge i praise him through my knowledge what do you mean pastor all my emotions will get all wrapped into it but i don't take a step of faith because i feel it come on talk to me simon peter come out and walk on the water well i tell you what i'm feeling in waves right now besides that i miss my ymc a class so i don't know how to swim he said come he didn't ask you how you felt he said take a step of faith and start walking the wars me how do i know that because if jesus is walking on the water it's better to be walking on the water than stuck in a boat any time i don't serve the lord through my feelings some days i feel saved and some days anybody feel me out there right now come on y'all help my feelings by saying amen it's what i know about god that causes me to stay in alignment well what do you know about god i know this here write these down and i'm out of your way first of all alignment means i'm in the right place somebody shout i'm in the right place alignment that means placement that means order that means the place is the cross oh yeah i said the place is the cross that's the place where all things are made right that's the place where i get in alignment with jesus christ and i want you to know i never leave from that position because that's where my faith is going to carry me through it's not my feelings and it's not how you feel or we had great church today i don't care if we had a wash tub and no lights in the building i will serve the lord with gladness come before his presence was singing well what happens if the power goes out and who can't play those keys i can use some for you you need to open your mouth and make a joyful noise under the lord why because when i serve the lord with knowledge i don't have to wait on somebody to pump me up i came pumped up because god has been good to me alignment with the cross that's the place what did he do whenever i came to the cross he put me in the body you don't get in the body without going to the cross i don't care how many preachers hands you shake i don't care how many cards you fill out there are some people going to church today because it has become a social club and not a place of my edification and strength i hope you're motivated to serve the lord whenever i get through preaching but preaching is not meant to be a motivational speech i am not your life coach i am your pastor to feed you the word of god to edify the saints to build up the body and to send you out into a world that needs light and salt and ladies and gentlemen when you're in alignment with god the anointing comes upon you you open your mouth up and people are attracted to the jesus inside of you the bible tells us in the book of Colossians that he is the head of the body the church who is the beginning the firstborn of the dead that in all things he might have the preeminence i think we need to put jesus back in the headship of the church and quit letting denominations and everything else be the dictatorial authority we need jesus christ to be the head of the church the bible says in Ephesians 4 and 7 and 27 neither give place to the devil don't let the devil kick you out of your position here's the second thing you need to know about well let me just tell you before i stop there the cross that means i'm aligned with god and when i align myself with god i align myself with other people of like precious faith here's the second thing you need to know alignment means adjusting to the right position he tells us in Ephesians 4 don't don't be like the other Gentiles walking in the vanity of their minds if you want to see the vanity of minds go to a restaurant and watch how many people are literally sitting there texting one another across the table we don't talk anymore we text i don't want to tell you that i'm laughing at your joke i just going to send you an lol somebody suggested a ministry to start up here pace just a few days ago lol ministry the little old ladies ministry that's a lol lol y'all can laugh but it wasn't for the little old ladies in most churches there wouldn't be no church there after all the alignment of a person a person who's in alignment with god has a strong spirit aligned with god's word you're praying in the holy ghost renewing your mind on a daily basis how many of you ever had to take your car back in for a realignment what does that mean that we're to that we're to align ourselves and adjust to the right position the devil is always trying to move us from our position outside of the body of christ that's how the prodigal son got in the trouble he did he left the body he left the house he left the head what does that mean in order for me to stay fitly joined together in the body of christ that means i've got to change my tood to his tood i got to change my character to his character i got to change my will to line up with his will most people go to the lord in prayer by telling the lord this is what i'm going to do bless it i just want to find out if you're still there i heard a few crickets out there saying amen but the bible say he says this i beseech you therefore brother you better get this in your head everywhere we went for the past week the push was on for transgenderism changing genders and all that posters and people in the restaurant everywhere you go but i want to tell you something believer if you're lined up with christ what does he say speak the truth in love see love is what holds us together jesus said they'll know you're my disciples because you have love one for another it doesn't mean we condone sin it means that if we're in the body we're going to speak the truth of god's word and we're going to do it from a loving attitude but when it's all said and done judgment comes from the head not from the body everywhere we went so what does the bible say you better get ready to do this i beseech you i beg you therefore brother and by the mercies of god that you present yourself a living sacrifice holy romans 12 says an acceptable unto god which is your reasonable service and be not conformed don't be put into the mold of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind pastor i'm telling you don't take much for me to just uh get a bump in my spiritual car then you got to go back and realign for today realign for today you went out there in that world and hit a bunch of potholes and it threw you offline and and all kind of doubt all kind of mess going on and if it's the devil's problem he'll throw it at you and make you worry all night long but the devil is a liar fear not for i am with thee be not dismayed for i am thy god yei i will help thee yei i will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteous as greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world i want you to know my dear friends the word of god will realign you on a daily basis and means you got to change your mind to align with god here's number three i'm out of your way come on musicians singers whoever you are the battle is always with the world the flesh and the devil you better get ready my friends somebody said well pastor i heard you talking about pastor hosé up here i mean i hear you talking about outreach and all that and and you'll know your carnal and outside of alignment if the first question you ask is this how are we going to pay for it well first of all if you're out of alignment you don't even get to start with come on somebody let me just tell you what my pastor said he said joy rogers in the 90 years that this church has been in existence we haven't been able to afford to pay for anything we stepped out in faith and believed god and god paid listen for all of you that are newbies over here they're in a dime owing on this building you know why because god has uniquely positioned us for the last day not to be covered up with a mortgage so we can use the funds that are already available and god can build it to the kingdom of god and by the way there's already enough money set aside to do everything that the man has gotten his heart and in mind and i want you to know if you're in alignment you won't see dollars you'll see the head saying do what god's will is telling you today here's the third thing i'm out of your way alignment means alignment means i am supplying the right part here's the question to you he says this speak the truth and love that we may grow up in all things the head even christ from the whole body fitly joined together compacted by every joint that every which every joint supplies according to the factual working of the measure of every part making increase of the body under the edifying of itself and love the whole body fitly joined together i want to let you know some pace this is not the whole body of christ we're just part of the body of christ come on somebody i want you to know christ is not the head buddha is not the head is mohammed is not the head there's only one head and there's only one body go all the way back up to ephesians four and he'll tell you there's one body one faith one lord one baptism another words you don't have a lot of gods to choose there's either christ or the devil and i got news for you when i line up with the lord and do my part in the body you know what it does when i do my part it helps your part to be better there's a lot of things i can't do but when we're all put together like we should see i can't speak spanish but he can come on somebody what what what what pastor don't you think we got enough i mean i mean you know they say covid's coming back so we might have to separate if we have no more faith in the body of christ than to be able to worry about our four and no more than we're not in alignment with god i'm telling you heard the word of god this morning look on the fields for their white already to harvest ladies and gentlemen with people by the thousands moving into northwest florida are we going to sit here and be satisfied where we are are we going to function like the body of christ wants us to and go into the highways and into the hedges and compel them to come to jesus that's what i'm gonna do i'm gonna do my part are you gonna do your part i said i'm gonna do my part you're gonna do your part are you gonna do your part in the kingdom if that's you lift your hand and say yes i'll do my part do you even know what your part is when you're in alignment play me something beautiful that's good when you're in alignment with god there's so much here when you're in alignment with god there's a guarantee this is the first in a series right now of at least three maybe four messages next week i'm on preach on agreement the next week i'm on preach on assignment i don't want you to miss it because with every alignment when you align with the body of christ now listen it doesn't make any difference if you're the hand or the little toe on the left foot or the nose or the liver or the pancreas come on somebody pastor nobody notices me i guarantee you that pancreas go out we'll notice you let that i start thinking with a cataract suddenly it's all about the eye am i hearing anybody talk to me here you know when i get to heaven i'm gonna ask the lord jesus can you kindly tell me what was the appendix for because that thing nearly exploded on the inside of me i had to get it out but i'm still alive right i was doing fine until till i started feeling something like kidney stones hitting on me and several years ago i went over that house it's still over there and i started rolling on the floor and laying down i said oh god what is this this kidney stone i ain't no kidney stone something wrong i get up they haul me to the doctor and go to the emergency room i said uh your appendix is on the edge of exploding we got to take you in now i said take me now take me now come on somebody because it didn't make any difference if it was my hand or my head or my eyes or my ears when one part of the body is hurting come on somebody oh you don't pay attention to the little toe until you get up in the middle of the night run through the run through the house in the darkness and you hit that little dude and suddenly your teeth start hurting am i right about it because the body matters and every part of the body matters i said every part of the body manner i know this you don't have to force oil to flow if you're in alignment the oil will flow i'm gonna tell you this i'm closing you'll find this story in the word of god where samuel is ordered by god to fill his horn with oil and go to jesse's house and anoint the next king of israel when he arrives at jesse's house jesse pulls out his boys one by one and he pulls out the one that he thinks would make the best candidate as the next king of israel this are not here he's a strong tall big he'll do it he's not the one and he went one by one samuel did in fact the business even the prophet samuel got messed up for a few moments got out of alignment i told you if there's alignment the oil doesn't have to be forced it doesn't have to be coerced it just starts flowing samuel looked at one of those boys said surely this is the lord's chosen one no oil now i'm gonna tell you something when you've done all you think that you're supposed to but if you're out of alignment with god and there's no oil flowing you may get on your face and find out where your foot is at come on somebody have you got any more boys well i got seven of them right here i know but but one two three four five six seven something's wrong the oil is not flowing jesse have you got any body else in this family well your bible you read it for yourself the bible says david is v one look at your neighbor tell him i'm the one yeah yeah i'm the one i'm the one have you got any more boy yeah i got one little insignificant ready boy out there he's been singing love songs to the sheep playing on his harp i don't i don't get the boy he's so out of alignment with the rest of them he's not strong like you lie up and he's not with it like this one that bring the one and we won't rest the oil will not rest until everything is in alignment if you're not experiencing a flow of the anointing you need a realignment and when david arrived avid is not son number one two three four five this is the word of the lord to this church he's not number six and he's not number seven look what david is you and i are about to connect right now i heard you message last night you didn't know what i was gonna say but guess what david is david is the eighth eighth the eight is the number of new beginnings behold i do a new thing you know what your dull drab christian life has been needing the one that is the eight the new beginning the new thing some of you are out of alignment and you're wondering why the oil isn't flowing behold i do a new thing god do a new thing in my life do something so new lord i've i've held the oil in the horn this long i need a new and a fresh anointing upon my life for such a time as this i want you to know that's what your pastor has been praying for now let me tell you they would take a piece of wax and put it in the end to keep the oil in the horn and when he tipped it over sons one through seven there wasn't enough heat of the anointing and the fire of god to melt the wax but when he tipped it over number eight he said i have chosen him oh my friend i'm talking to somebody in the holy ghost here there was enough for the anointing of god resting inside of david that heated up the wax melted the wax the cold dry wax that's been holding it back all along and when he tipped it over the flow came down history is one of underestimated power throughout his life his daddy underestimated so he's just a little ruddy boy out there but the anointing came on him sol said who do you think you are put my arm i can't use yours i haven't proven that all i've proven is with this rag and rock and the anointing came upon him and he killed giliath he came dancing back in with his praise and worship and the anointing of god was upon his life and his wife said oh how mighty is the king of israel today who do you think you are and he said if you think this prayer is something there's a fresh anointing coming upon me if you think this is something you ain't seen nothing yet i'm after a fresh anointing i'm after a fresh anointing every church that's in alignment in these last days you're not going to have to force it out you can't pick the wax out we're going to get this one way or another only when the heat of prayer and praise comes into the room and alignment with the will and the word of god will the wax be melted and the oil begin to flow why is that so important because in the book of acts come on singers because in the book of acts chapter 15 the bible said in the last days i'm going to raise up the tabernacle of david to the praise and to the glory of god now i've preached this message to this church and what i'm asking you today is are you in alignment with god is your mind in alignment with god oh pastor i don't know but i i got a dinner engagement at 12 30 i got 15 minutes to get there okay go do what you gotta do but there's gonna come a time we're gonna wish that the anointing poured out and because you weren't in alignment with god oh why are that why is that church getting by it's not an accident they built a fire are you hearing what i'm saying hey is your life in alignment with god what about your money your business your family your marriage if it's not today's the day to get the fresh oil from heaven i want this church to see the fresh oil of heaven and it's not going to be because we have great music and so-so preaching it's going to be because we all get together in the body of christ fitly joined together oh we may not always agree because i got an opinion you got opinion but as long as we stay up underneath the head and adjust ourselves accordingly how many of you say this morning pastor i think i need to realign some things let me see your hand all over this house come on everybody's got their hand up right now just stand up and meet me right here at this altar as they begin to sing whatever god's laid on your heart do it right now come from oh this place do it right now fresh and holy anointing just let it follow me my heart is filled with desire or a touch of heaven's anointing fall those hands come praising this morning take a little time to get real i need a place of alignment is repentance going right back to the cross it means repentance means change your mind about it that's what it means you couldn't do anything to save yourself anyway but jesus did it on the cross so i just changed my mind about the way i've been thinking about it the way i was gonna handle it and i choose the mind of christ so right now across this auditorium and for those of you online just lift your hand up right now and if there's anything that you need to get aligned right now any sin any backslidden place anything that's out of alignment with god lord forgive me right now i repent of this attitude i i got this thing stuck in my heart i got some unforgiveness in there that's holding back your anointing i need to get in alignment with you and alignment with other people i need to surrender this place and submit this play come on talk to the lord right out it'll be all right he's listening to you right now as much as you can get an alignment it'll be easier for you to see the anointing come come on now lord forgive me wash me cleanse me with your blood i change my about what i've been doing and i take up the mind of christ i release them from this unforgiveness right now i release them from the grudge that i've been holding i'm sorry for my prejudice lord i'm sorry for my condition i'm sorry for letting that thing creep back into my life that is keeping me out of alignment spirit of god thank you for dealing with my heart today hallelujah now here's where the anointing begins to flow because every 3000 miles i'll take my car back in for an oil change and i need you to lube up the suspension and all the joints so that they move smoothly are you hearing what i'm saying now all these members part of the body of christ but getting us together sometimes this world is looking at the church right now and we can't even get our own self together i'm determined to see pace assembly as a place when they drive down the road they say i'm compelled to go and something is drawing me and the love that we have one for another supersedes any kind of attitude or every kind of attitude i humble myself before others and fitly join together would you reach over and just gently lay your hand on the shoulder of the next somebody because it's in the joint that we get hurt sometimes anybody know what i'm talking about it's in the joints that we get hurt sometimes but see what we're going to do is we're going to lubricate the joints here today and we're going to come together under one head jesus christ one heart jesus christ one faith one lord one baptism not a bunch of different churches but the one church under jesus christ father i pray for my friend right now who is another part another member of the body of christ and lord i don't know where they may be hurting at on the inside but it is not your will that they are broken and bruised and wounded and hurting on the inside it's not your will lord that they walk through this life lord without what you are supplying for them and the touch of god upon their life so today god i pray for my friend that we will come together as one and whatever they need in healing in their body in their mind in their soul and in their spirit right now we come together as the body of christ heal the body right now ladies and gentlemen whatever's in the body heals the other parts of the body let it flow right now as you begin to pray one for another i want you to begin to pray prophetic prayers over that person to person some of you're about to feel the anointing fall right on your head as we come into alignment with god right jesus spirit of god sweep across this body because we have love pastor that person is doing this i don't care do you love them it's not up to you to judge them it's not up to you to hope it's up to you to love them no matter what they are who they are so i want you to practice that today is the first order of alignment let pace assembly fall in love with one another in the body of christ turn around shake hands hug nags let folks know how much you love and appreciate them
