Come Ye To The Waters, A Call to Holiness June 10, 2004 I really feel HIS presence. My whole head is just tingling! The joy of the Lord is beyond description. Father we just pray to YOU this night! Lord I thank YOU that you are so real! And I thank YOU that YOU have been so faithful! Lord, I never had a friend like YOU! I have never known no one like YOU are. Father, I am just so at awe. I don't even know what to say, Lord. YOU are just so glorious! Father YOU have always been there. Father I pray for YOUR people. I pray for America again. I pray for this Land. And Father I pray, Lord God, that those that have accepted Jesus Christ as personal Saviour; Father, we lift up ALL believers who have cried out and accepted YOUR Name. And Father I pray that YOU might deal with those in a very special and in a very unique, and a very powerful way, moved upon by your Spirit from Heaven. Father we claim victory tonight. Father we claim a blessing upon YOUR people tonight. We pray that YOU would open the windows of Heaven. Pour upon them a blessing they cannot contain, beyond description, Lord God. And Father, we just give you glory and honor. And I pray that YOU would speak to our hearts this night. Lord I pray that YOU would come down in a SPECIAL way, in a POWERFUL way, Lord God. Father, YOU know that I do NOT know ANYTHING, Father God! Father, YOU know that I don't plan. I just pray that YOU would speak to my mind, Lord God, to me as YOU do. Father I pray that YOUR will be done. Father, I pray that you would bind all hindering power from the enemy. And Father, I pray that he cannot even come close to this property. And Father, we claim it "off limits" to any of his imps, this night. And Father we pray for the Spirit of God to be here in a mighty, POWERFUL way, Lord God. I pray that there will be LIBERTY here, that there will be GLORY here, that there will be HEALING here, that there will be productivity of YOUR Spirit here, in a glorious way, in a VITAL way. Bring a BLESSING! Bring a MOVE from Heaven tonight. Speak to their hearts. Let us realize where YOU want us to hear this night. And Father, we just praise YOU again! We thank YOU in the wonderful Name of Jesus! To God be the glory! To God be ALL praise and honor! Lord we thank YOU, because thy loving kindness is better than life! My lips shall praise THEE. Thus will I bless THEE while I live! I will lift up MY hands in THY Name. Oh, hallelujah Lord! We love YOU! We praise YOU! We praise YOU, Lord! We thank YOU, Lord, that you ARE real! Where the blessings of the Lord are "...it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it." [Proverbs 10:22] Casting all our cares upon YOU, because we care for YOU. We PRAISE YOU this night! We thank YOU this night for LIBERTY this night! And we thank YOU, Lord. Oh, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Where YOUR Spirit is there is liberty! Father, we thank YOU for that liberty! Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus which loved us! Hallelujah! I believe that we are living in the most celebrated and the most vital times in the history of man! When I say "man" that is mankind, men, women, boys and girls, all people. God is moving, not by might or by power, but by HIS Spirit, saith the Lord. [See Zechariah 4:6] "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." [2nd Peter 3:9] The Lord was speaking to my heart this afternoon how the Apostle Paul and the great orators back through the Bible had the same problem that we are having today! And if you will search it out, it has to do with the Spirit of God! It says for those that have no spirit that they came in to take away the people that God had saved! If you read in the books of Acts and in Titus, Jude, Timothy, in all of these it is declaring that those who believe not in the move of the Spirit, you are not even to have association with them! [See 2nd Timothy 3:5, Galatians 2:4 and 3:1ff, Jude 1:19] Now that is speaking louder than we do today! Generally where we go to church there is a group that says, "Well, we don't believe in the move of the Spirit!" And the other side says, "Well, we do!" And I have been in church after church. This is the way it has been in those places. One side of the church says, "NO!" The other side says, "Yes!" According to the Word of God this brings havoc to the controlling powers of the spirits. So, a lot of times we have this interference. We have our services at a very low key. Our services are very fundamental [they don't get beyond the basics]. They are very directed by the human heart. You plan out your sermon. You give your sermon. There is not too much anointing, just a little bit of a touch. And that is the way it is! But God wants to move, NOT by that way, but through HIS Spirit! For "...where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." [2 Corinthians 3:17] And where God's presence is, HE bypasses a lot of the will of our will. And HE brings down the glory from Heaven! And one of the areas that God spoke to me today about, that will be VERY clear, for those who will choose to go God's way, is that in the last hour many will NOT know the will from Heaven!! Even though in their hearts they are confessing that they know God's will, they are believing it. But *WHEN* *THEY* *WALK* *THROUGH* *THE* *SPIRIT* God will **SPEAK** to them, and tell them as a group. And the Lord spoke to MY heart and said, "This is why HE moves this way." God is the same yesterday, today and forever! [See Hebrews 13:8] God holds HIS Word (holding up the Bible) as *TRUE*! This Word is *VERY* true! It is everything that you want! Like today. I was amazed, going back through the Book of Revelation. All the Word that God has given us is *VERY* profitable for us as a Christian in this hour! It is very, "...knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for *NOW* *IS* our salvation *NEARER* than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light." [Romans 13:11-12] We need the liberty from Heaven! The Bible says, "...Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." [Matthew 18:18] God gave to us *AUTHORITY* in the church!! HE gives you authority as a privilege from God to be HIS representative. HE gives you the liberty that HE will say, "Jack, in the Name of Jesus you have *POWER* from ME, so that you can come and delegate for your people." [Jack is the pastor of the church where this message was given.] Each one of you have that authority, and that power by the liberty that God gives you. And that comes through the life of ***HOLINESS***!!! Holy living is what keeps us *ALL* in accordance with the Spirit of God! What stops us from being in accordance with the Spirit of God is *WRONG* living! There is still forgiveness. Don't get me wrong! But when we get out of kilter and go into things that are willful sinning WE LOSE THE PRIVILEGES for awhile! Now you can still come to church. Most people won't even know they are having a problem. But I am saying you don't need to back slide! God doesn't want you to back slide! HE wants you to take hold, and say, "I'm *NOT* going to let go! I mean business from the time I accepted Jesus Christ! And I am NOT going to back slide! I'm going to go on in the Name of *JESUS*!" We need to make that declaration, in our heart, that we are going to go forth in the Name of Jesus! "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other *CREATURE*, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." [Romans 8:38-39] We MUST settle that in our hearts!! That is "step one!" Oh, hallelujah! "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." [John 15:7] Then you can "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." [Jeremiah 33:3] If the churches would come down and have holy services moving through the Spirit of God, it wouldn't take a week and there would be *GREAT* throngs of people touched. But people *DON'T* *WANT* *IT*!! That is a problem! But there are those that will go with the Spirit. God doesn't say multitudes are always the answer! The multitudes that left Egypt didn't make the Promised Land! Caleb and Joshua were about the only two that I know that really even made it. Moses didn't even make it. So it behooves us to NOT take community with the majority. We pray that the whole Earth become saved. We *WANT* that to happen. We desire that to happen. We want this whole World to get saved. We want people to have a right relationship with God. We want, that if the trump of God should sound, that they would have access into Heaven, that there would not be *ONE* go to a devil's Hell. But, according to the Word of God, it is not going to be!! [See Matthew 7:13-14 and Matthew 22:14] That still does not stop us from having it in our heart that we want *IT* to be. Do you understand what I am saying?? We want it! God sees it. We **WANT** people to get saved! We want the enemy, if he could, to get saved! We wish he had never done what he did to get where he is. I feel for him! I wish he would never have gotten in that ugly place that he is at! We need to have the desire, right here, that we want to have that love, that concern. Oh, I feel the presence of God! God is so powerful here tonight! Jonah was a man of God. And God sent Jonah to go to Nineveh to preach to that sinful city. Jonah flees and goes to Tarshish, and on the way God has to kick him off the ship, and send him to the bottom of the sea. He ends up in a big fish that God made. With that Jonah has a three day service down there. Finally he sort of prays through. But you know what?? **WE** **NEED** **TO** **GET** **THIS** **LIFE** **STRAIGHTENED** **OUT,** because there is going to be a revelation coming along in a minute. And God is showing me that revelation is going to change our thinking! Not all God's preachers are really where God would have them to be! God puts up with a lot of **GUFF** out of us. So God gets Jonah. I praise God for Jonah, for making it through that! But the Bible says, "He that **OVERCOMETH** shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." [Revelation 21:7] And when we live above reproach, and you don't have to go back and re-tread that street again three or four or five dozen times, God is well pleased!! The Bible says, "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and **INCREASING** in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering **WITH** **JOYFULNESS**; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, **EVEN** the forgiveness of sins:" [Colossians 1:10-14] ***WE*** ***SHOULD*** ***REJOICE***!! Hallelujah! We need to leap for joy! Jonah should have leaped for joy!! That fish spits him out on the bank. And probably that fish was sick. And some of us Christians, sometimes, we make animals sick, I think. It is because we are not where we should be with God!! God wants to wash us whiter than snow! God wants to take away that stony heart. He wants to do an incision on us that we want **HOLINESS**, that we want the beauty of Jesus, that we want to live with the liberty of God. We want to profess God. We want to hate sin and love God! That is what God wishes, that we might be re-birthed with the Spirit of God! So Jonah goes to Nineveh and preaches. And we know the outcome. But Jonah, his heart was not where it should be. Jonah had a hard heart! He was angry because God blessed Nineveh. He says, "YOU should have killed them!!" Basically, that is what he said. God says, "Why should I kill them?? They **REPENTED**!" That is what it is all about: REPENTING! See, Jonah didn't see himself, what God had done for him. There was sin at Jonah's door. And us today, we need to seek God every day, every moment of life. If there is sin at my door, "Lord God, that I might be a vessel of praise, that I might be a vessel of honor, that I might serve the Lord, not out of duty, but with **GLADNESS**" I love HIM!! That I would not be coerced into living a holy life. But I would do it because I love my Lord!!! I would do it as **LOVING**, **NOT** as obedience. Obedience is better than sacrifice, but there is something better than that. God wants us to love HIM so much that we don't even worry about obedience!! We just do the will of God! Oh Lord "send me," [See Isaiah 6:8] I respond! Hallelujah! Samuel heard that voice. He went to Eli. Eli said, "I didn't call you!" The boy Samuel, **HEARD** **THE** **VOICE** **OF** **GOD**! We need to be NIGH (near) of the things of the Lord! And we need to be very distant to the things of evil! The things of the evil one: we don't even **KNOW** **THEM**! And they shouldn't know us!! The Bible says, "...let it not be once named among you..." as **HAVING** those things! [Ephesians 5:3] It shouldn't even be **NAMED** in our camp, that we would NOT have wicked imaginations, that we would NOT have hatefulness, that we would NOT have anger! Anger, I believe, is one of the hardest things of all the ones in the way, because when people get angry they tear things up. And you may lose a friend because of anger. It is because anger is a tormenting spirit! There is all these wicked spirits that God wants to cleanse us from! You know immorality, the wrong things we see stays with us. We need to see that "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD,..." [Psalms 121:1-2a] **I** **WILL** **LIFT** **MY** **EYES** **TO** **THE** **HILLS,** from whence cometh my help!!! I will not lift by eyes DOWN!! For I want to lift my eyes **UP**! I will not look for the things that are **SEEN**. But I will "...look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. [2nd Corinthians 4:18] "For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;..." [2nd Corinthians 4:16-17] When we do everything that we do, then there is a recompense (a reward or pay back). Many want to live half way from where we should be, as an overcomer. "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." [Revelation 21:7] Getting back to us. If we become overcomers, the sky is the limit as to what can happen!! God is NOT a respecter of persons. [See Acts 10:34] HE is the same yesterday, today and forever. [See Hebrews 13:8] And I love you out there!! The small number doesn't make any difference. The angels are round about us! "The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him." [Psalm 34:7-8] "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills..." [Psalms 121:1a] "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands." [Psalm 100:1] "Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with *SINGING*." [Psalm 100:2] "Know ye that the LORD he is God..." [Psalm 100:3a] "Enter into his gates with **THANKSGIVING**..." [Psalm 100:4a] Enter HIS "...courts with **PRAISE**..."!! [Psalm 100:4b] Hallelujah!! "I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears." [Psalm 34:1-4] We **NEED** victory! And I will tell you what is wrong! We need revival in our hearts right now! We need that **SEPARATION**, that if God be for us who can be against us! [See Romans 8:31] "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." [Romans 8:37] We are like an old Caterpillar dozer, that I know a little bit about. You can get some dozers out here, sort of worn out. And they are really not no good at all, because they can only, hardly pull themselves. But you get a dozer out here that is in the condition it is supposed to be in, it will do a lot of work! And that is sort of the way that we are! We don't really survive very well when we are NOT working! Machines are made to work! You don't play with them! You work them, because they stand up better when you work them, than when you play with them. This is because engines working have heat. And we need heat to get rid of bad things! Now God has the fire of the Holy Ghost to get rid of the bad things within us! We need to receive the Holy Ghost, with **FIRE**, that we might be eliminated from the problems that have saturated us so long. Then we will start walking with joy. We will start walking with liberty. If God be for us, who can be against us? [See Romans 8:31] "...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." [1 John 4:4b] "...Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." [John 14:27b] We need these phrases coming into our heart. "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help." [Psalms 121:1a] "When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him." [Isaiah 59:19] Praise God, that is the Word of God! When the enemy comes your way, the Bible says, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. *RESIST* *THE* *DEVIL*, and *he* *WILL* *FLEE* from you. *DRAW* *NIGH* to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." [James 4:7-8] So, every day when I get up I try to go through the promises. It is like calisthenics. Sometimes we need to continually go over these basics, over and over and over and over! "...for the joy of the LORD is your strength." [Nehemiah 8:10b] "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills..." [Psalm 121:1a] I need to speak these promises ***DAILY***!! I repeat my desires. "I want YOU Lord!! I PRAISE YOU Lord! I want victory in MY heart this day!! I don't want to go around like a sad sack! I want the joy of the Lord to be my strength! I want to have LIBERTY here, that I might walk justly in these last days!" You know, we go up to the battle. In days gone by when Gideon was chosen by God and the angel of the Lord came to Gideon. The angel said to Gideon, "The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour." [Judges 6:12] And Gideon says, "Who? Me?" And the angel says, "Yeah, you!" You know how we all sort of want signs. And so we know that he puts the fleece out. And God made it dry and wet, and vise versa, until Gideon really gets the message that God is going to be with him. But you see that is where a lot of us *ARE*, when God has a job for us to do. We are not really where we should be!! It is true! We need to be prayed up to *EVERY* second! "My sheep know MY voice. They come at MY call! And a stranger they do not know!!" [Brother Freedom's distilled paraphrase of John 10:3-5] "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." [1 Peter 5:7] "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:" [James 1:19] "...and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble." [1 Peter 5:5b] "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:" [1 Peter 5:6] "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world." [1 Peter 5:8-9] Praise God! This is good!! This is why most churches don't want me to preach! It is because I get this way. I cannot do it any other way! So, no one wants to hear me! But I ***LOVE*** the Lord!! And if you want to get **FREE**, come God's way! And **HE** **WILL** set you free!! I'm just an old nothing!! God is ***REAL***!!! But **HE* doesn't forget!! And God doesn't forget in us! Oh, hallelujah! I didn't forget. The Spirit of God didn't forget a bit. So, the Spirit of God says to Gideon, "How many men do you have?" "Oh, I've got 32,000 men!" That's a lot of men!! 32,000 men! That *IS* a lot of men! You know, you can do a lot with 32,000. As armies go that is a lot of men! With that many men you can do a lot of sword play! And you know, I thought about that on the way down here. On the way, the Spirit of the Lord started speaking to my heart. HE said, "My people can do a lot of good. But it still isn't like with MY Spirit!" Stay with me! The Spirit said, "It isn't like MY Spirit!" So then the Lord tells Gideon "You got too many! Those that are fearful can go home." A lot of people want to go home! So, 22,000, that's a lot of people, say, "We're going home!" So they said, "Good bye!" So Gideon says, "Okay boys, it is just us 10,000. We are going to..." The Lord says, "No, that is still not right! You know, you are going to get too much. You know I don't need that many! Where MY Spirit is there is **LIBERTY**, [See 2nd Corinthians 3:17] there is **GREAT** power!" There is liberty when God is around!! HE does GREAT things! HE does marvelous things. HE does it even when you are asleep! HE does ****GREAT**** things!! HIS angels camp around them that fear HIM! [Psalm 34:7] "O taste and see that the LORD is good..." [Psalm 34:8] HE is **GOOD**!! HE is **GLORIOUS**!! "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul:..." **HE DOES ALL THOSE THINGS!! "...he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear *NO* *EVIL*: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." [Psalm 23] We can have a spiritual **BANQUET**, even in the worst of times!! Even when we are going through heartache. I have had great difficulty walking with my legs the last two months. But praise God, hallelujah, I'm feeling the **GLORY**! [Brother Freedom is jumping up and down on his two legs that were sore. But he is feeling no pain because the anointing is so heavy upon him that it makes him whole as he preaches!] **PRAISE GOD!! HALLELUJAH!! HE IS REAL!! HE IS REAL! HE IS REAL!! Glory** Gideon is like a lot of people! He is *CHOSEN*, but God has to bring him up, upgrade him. Now here today God has chosen each one of us here. HE has chosen us. That is between you and him. But from that time of being chosen, that is the very beginning of your walk with God. And God wants to bless that time. From that beginning until you cannot even understand; to the point you can let go and say, "Lord, I don't know!" That is when God will really bless you the most! And when you are NOT in it, God is going to go over you, out upon you. Things just happen. You don't even know why they are happening. But they happen. When the Spirit of Glory is there, IT IS LIBERTY! And there is POWER! So God speaks to Gideon. HE says, "Go down to the brook, down there. And have them take a drink." And, of course, we know what they did. Some of them lapped up the water like a dog. And others took their hands and drank out of their hand. But 300 out of the 32,000 were all that were left. And that is about the percentage, God is telling me, that is going to make it. And that is the percentage from amongst the Christians! [That is .94 percent, just under ONE PERCENT of the people Gideon began with made it to the battle! And Brother Freedom has been shown *THAT* percentage is about how many in God's army today are willing to go all the way. That is less than one out of a hundred, in the church today, that will become an overcomer!] I hope and God hopes that a 100 percent will make it. God wants 100 percent! But what I am saying is what the Bible says, "And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days." [Mark 13:20] It says, "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." [Matthew 24:37] What was Noah doing? He was going around telling everyone to, "Come! God's going to have a flood!" They just laughed at him! Noah preached! Noah preached and said, "Please come! Please come! We will make room for you in the Ark! We will make room!" And they said, "You fool! It has *NEVER* rained!! It is NOT going to rain!" Noah said, "It is going to rain, because *GOD* says it is going to do it!" And God **NEVER** misses, not even one time!! God is the ONE that brings *ALL* these reasons that can't be, but will be. And they *ARE* going to *HAPPEN*, because it is God that says it! God likes to work in the impossibles! HE likes to work in the improbables! **OH, GLORY!!** **GLORY!!* God wants to set you *FREE*, that you might have liberty, that you will not no longer be a cast-a-way! But you will walk in victory, electrified by the Spirit of God, that you might do the will from Heaven's shore! That you will have a *LIBERTY*!! Glory to God!!! Lord bless these ones!! Glory to God! Hallelujah! Lord, I'm having a glorious time! Hallelujah! Oh, Father I praise YOU this day! I praise YOU Lord God! YOU are so wonderful! YOU ARE SO GLORIOUS! Lord, I love YOU! Hallelujah! I thank YOU!! People, I hope none of you get offended at me. But people get envious and lose out. Envy is a ***BAD***, BAD, evil thing that grips in our churches! It comes in. And it grips, and eats. And pretty soon the envy, you don't know where it is. The envy goes and back bites, tells tales of untruth to get people in trouble, because of the envy. Envy is a WICKED thing! That is why we need to cut it off in any one of us. We need to work on it, continually, because it is ALWAYS there! It wants to come on ALL of us! It wants to get on our shoulders. It wants to come down and disturb us! That is why we need the old time Holy Ghost **POWER**! The Holy Ghost POWER is the only way. The suit of the Holy Ghost can give you *VICTORY*!!! You can't have victory any other way, because without the Holy Ghost you don't have the close relationship, the communion with God! [Brother Freedom has been shown repeatedly that if a believer excels in God other believers will become envious and jealous of that one. And it ruins the work of God. Christians need to be delivered of envy and jealously of one another. They should be happy when anyone excels in God.] In the Book of Acts it says the Spirit of ***GOD*** came down. And that same Spirit..... [Instantly at this point the Holy Ghost takes over Brother Freedom's lips. And what was English becomes a Heavenly Language. A supernatural prayer pours forth to Heaven for a few seconds. And then a prophetic word, direct from the Throne Room of Glory, is spoken. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost use Freedom as a mouth piece to talk directly to us for several minutes. After it is over Freedom has little idea what the Spirit has said.] For I would say to thee MY people, many, many, many of MY people who have known ME, and I have blessed them, and I have given them many, wonderful gifts. I have graced them with wonderful homes. I have blessed them with wonderful jobs, and all the things that I have given them in this Land. But I say many, many, many are absent this night! They have forgotten that I AM their Way-maker. They have forgotten that I AM the ONE that loves them! And they have gotten very important in themselves. They have went out after things. They have went out after opportunities. And they have went out with things of this World. And I say, love not the World, neither the things of the World. For any man that loveth the World, the love of the Father is NOT in him. The lust of the flesh, the pride of life is upon the **WORLD**! [And now the Spirit lifts for a moment and Brother Freedom finds himself praying eight words in English. Then the Spirit drops down again and the prophetic word continues.] And Father, we praise YOU this night, Lord! [Now the prophecy continues.] For I AM here to *STRENGTHEN* those ones that come close, those that will seek MY face. But I say, continually, MY people are faced with an opposition from the enemy. And let them not be deceived! For God is not mocked. For I shall give thee *STRENGTH*, that thou would be able to take *POWER* and commission thyself, oh one, that thou would be able to deliver thee from the power of the enemy, that would come thy way. I say, MY people have grown weak. They have grown anemic in their own selves. And MY people need to be strong in the power of the Lord, and the power of might, that they might reason within their minds what is taking place in this last hours. MY people need to be FULL of MY Spirit! They need to have a *LOVE*. They need the *JOY*. And I say [when] MY people lose that joy, they need to seek ME at that time, and NOT wait a day; until that remains back in them! MY people need to remove the hardness that comes upon them! The enemy sprinkles his darkness upon MY people. MY people need to arise, with victory, and say, "I *LOVE* the LORD! And I *WANT* HIS SPIRIT! I want what HE has!" And with that I will *DELIVER* them. And I will set them free! MY people need to continually say, that they need to confess this to the enemy constantly, because the enemy will constantly harass MY people in this last hour! He will make them to wish that they don't want to be in MY presence! And I say this night many, many, many of MY people will not be here because of [their] relationship with ME this hour. They do not want to come and *FEEL* MY presence. But I say, they need to take care of it now, because I say later on, if time lingers on, and they miss out, they will not make it with ME in Heaven! I wish for MY people! I *LOVE* MY people! I wish for MY people that they would have a sound relationship with the Lord their God, that they might walk in VICTORY! That they would not be walking in denial. They would walk in MY fullness! And MY hands and MY *BLESSINGS* would be upon them, forevermore! And MY eyes would be upon them. And MY eye would search for them! And I would HEAR their cry. And MY people need to realize that I want MY people. But MY people must desire for ME, to come to ME. And MY people that is here this night, that thou that can pray, thou must need to pray for the unbelief. And thou must pray for those who have been bound by the habits of darkness. MY people need to **PRAY** for those round about you this night. You need to PRAY, MY people, for those that need a special touch. For if thou shall pray, and caste all your cares [upon ME] and seek MY face, yea the prayers of MY saints will *CHANGE* these ones. And cause them to come, and to know ME once again, as a personal Saviour, that they would have a new walk, a new talk, a new hope. I say, MY people need to be re-inspired for this hour, because I say the day is very short! I say the heat of the battle is very continuous. It is coming in like a flood! And I the Lord thy God shall raise up a standard upon MY people. And I shall give them a *VICTORY*. And MY people will not want, for I shall overtake them!!! And I shall *BLESS* them. And I shall move upon them! But I say IT IS UP TO MY PEOPLE, saith the Spirit of God!! I will *NOT* go against the human spirit, saith the Spirit of God! Many of My people are bound. Their own selves stops them from having ME! I say, if they will ask ME, I can come against the powers of darkness that has them bound! But I say, within themselves, I will not force MY people! They must acknowledge ME, and lovingly want ME, and desire ME. And if they will LOVE ME, and DESIRE ME, I shall open the windows of Heaven to ALL those that will call upon ME, until that DAY, that appointed time. Until that time takes place, I the Lord thy God will choose to *BLESS* those ones, if they will call upon ME. Even though they have failed ME, I shall forgive them and give them a new hope. And I shall forgive them, and that will never be remembered, NO MORE. And I shall put those problems in the Sea of Forgetfulness, never to be **THOUGHT** **OF**, no longer!!! And they shall have a new slate, a new HEART, a new STRENGTH. But MY people need to realize that MY Coming is *SOON*, and VERY SOON. I say the stage is being set for the powers to be. I say there is troublesome times across this United States! There is problems that this Country is facing! I say there is a time of Job's Troubles that is coming to this Land. I say, very shortly, the monetary value will balance out, World-wide! I say, very soon, that this Nation will NOT BE a lot better off than those other nations! Because I say, doesn't it stand to reason, saith the Spirit of God, you are living in the time of the-Anti-Christ-is-going-to-come-forth. And he is going to be to *ALL* the World! So I say, ALL the World is going to come to a natural state in the crisis of dollars, of finances, saith the Spirit of God! And I say when that takes place, this Nation has lived so *HIGHLY*, **HIGHLY**!! IT WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN to the levels of those round about them! And I say, oh one, this day, MY people need to be prepared. MY people need to seek MY face. MY people need to keep all they can keep, and walk in MY love. For I AM able to *SHELTER* MY ones from the awful things coming this way. But, I AM able!! And I say if time goes on there shall be, even, other calamities that are going to come to this Land! I say there is going to be **PROBLEMS** this Land is going to face!! There is going to be pestilence (disease). And there is going to be storms! There is going to be hissings from the enemy that is going to come. And I say there is going to be PROBLEMS! There is going to be epidemics. There is going to be *HEARTACHES*, CRISIS, that this World has *NEVER* seen! But I say, do not let that offend thee or bother thee MY ones! Thy strength and thy shield is within ME! It is MY delight, when all these problems come, that I shall **SHIELD** thee MY ones. And I shall give thee *STRENGTH* for the powers that thou art faced with! And I shall give thee a *DESIRE* with loving ME, that I will, the Lord thy God, shall put a *TRUST* within thee. And I will **TRUST** thee MY ones. And I **KNOW** that thou shall go forth. And MY blessings shall be upon thee! Hold out, MY ones! *STAY* *TRUE* MY ones! *STAND* *FAST* MY ones! STAND FAST, for I AM here this night to send MY angels round about thee! Even though there is few here, I AM here with thee, saith the Spirit of God! And remember, I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU! And I WILL NOT FORSAKE THEE, even though the whole World forsake thee. I AM here this night with thee! Take confidence in ME, the Lord thy God! For I AM here to *STRENGTHEN* thee! I AM here to bring *VICTORY* to thee, saith the Spirit of God! [The prophetic Word ends and the Spirit of God lifts up and shifts Freedom back into a preaching mode.] Oh, hallelujah! Gideon was going to see something that he had never seen before. He takes these 300 men, and God disperses them out. Glory to God!! God is here in a very wonderful way! And he disperses these men out. Pretty soon God brings a mighty victory. God does it with just 300 men! The enemy is running everywhere. They are killing themselves. That is what took place because of confusion. God has told me that where there is confusion there is every evil work. [See James 3:16] As Christians we should *NOT* *BE* *CONFUSED*!! God is *NOT* confused! We need to seek God and find out what is wrong! God is in the *REALITY* business!! God is in the *FAITHFUL* business! We need to occupy until HE comes! Oh, hallelujah! We need to prepare that God is going to be God a thousand years upon this Earth! And we need to realize in our hearts that God may be here *TONIGHT*!! We need to be PREPARED to do the will of God! We need to be **READY** if HE come tonight! I'm not trying to scare any of you. But it is reality, HE is coming *SOON*!! And I can't even tell you some of the things that is going to take place! But HE is going to update you from time to time. Some of these things I know. I only can say it now because the Spirit of God is on me. But God is **REAL**! And you are here for a special reason! A lot of that reason is to get people, hopefully, more people, on fire for God. Basically it is very simple: being on fire for God! God wants us to be on fire for HIM. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a **LIVING** sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." [Romans 12:1] "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." [Romans 12:2] We need the *PERFECT* will of God! We need the blessings of God! Oh, isn't *HE* wonderful! God is **REAL**, brother Jack! God is REAL! HE is faithful! HE is delivering us! Hallelujah! HE is our **WAY** **MAKER**!! Hallelujah! "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." [Philippians 4:13] "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." [Philippians 4:19] "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the **POWER** that worketh in us," [Ephesians 3:20] "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy..." [Jude 1:24] "...for the joy of the LORD is your strength." [Nehemiah 8:10b] "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." [Romans 8:37] "...for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." [Romans 8:26-27] "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." [Romans 8:28] Do you realize that verse 28 above, follows *AFTER* verses 26 and 27?? You see, *AFTER* we pray in the Spirit, all things are going to work together for good, in the Spirit. There is a difference how we relate this Word of God!! [Brother Freedom is the only person I know of who has pointed out that believers make a big mistake lifting verse 28 out by itself and separating it from verses 26 and 27. Without verses 26 and 27 verse 28 cannot stand by itself. Verse 28 is only true for those who move under the direction of the Holy Spirit with supernatural prayers orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. Christians who orchestrate their own prayers cannot be assured that verse 28 will work for them! Really verse 28 is only for Spirit baptized believers who pray in a supernatural manner. And, it takes the Holy Spirit of God for a believer to know what verses can stand alone and which ones must be combined in order to be effective. The verse and chapter divisions were not very inspired. They were added hundreds of years after the Bible was written!! The verse designations are ONLY to help us find our way around the Bible. They are only mile posts.] "Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost." [Romans 15:13] Hope is something *BEYOND*!! Hope is beyond faith! Faith brings you to hope! It is BEYOND! It is electricity! You have to have faith to get you that hope! It is BEYOND!! It is the leading connection to get you to starsville! It gets you out there in Heavenly places! "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us **BY** **HIS** **SPIRIT**: for **THE** **SPIRIT** searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." [1 Corinthians 2:9-10] IT IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD!! You know it sort of saddens my heart when I see so many people say dumb things about the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost! They say HE is not practical. But you know, the Holy Spirit is part of me! "...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." [1 John 4:4b] The Bible says, "And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and **TOUCH** **NOT** **THE** **UNCLEAN** **THING**; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." [2 Corinthians 6:16-18] "Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, **PERFECTING** **HOLINESS** in the fear of God." [2 Corinthians 7:1] We need to PERFECT HOLINESS in the fear of God!! "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth *FOR* *YOU*." [1 Peter 5:7] Hallelujah!! "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." [2 Peter 3:3-4] For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. [2 Peter 3:5-6] "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." [2 Peter 3:13] "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." [2 Peter 3:9] "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." [2nd Timothy 3:1] "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,... " [2 Peter 3:3a] There are scoffers saying, "Where is the Coming????" But, "since the father's fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." These scoffers are saying this! But "this they **WILLINGLY** are ignorant of.." that God created the Heavens and the Earth. God has reserved the Heavens and the Earth for the Day of Judgment. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." [Matthew 24:35; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33] God is **REAL** "If God be for us, who can be against us?" [Romans 8:31b] HE is ***SPECIAL***!!! There is a special anointing on God's blessings! John says, I see the holy city "...coming down ***FROM*** God out of ***HEAVEN***, prepared as a bride ***ADORNED*** for her husband." [Revelations 21:2] He said, I see it coming down as a bride, prepared for the husband. He said, "I see the holy city." There will be no more tears, no more sorrows, no more heartaches, no more heart troubles, no more aches, pains; all the things we have felt in life. But God is looking for us to go THROUGH these aches and pains. Even though we go through problems, we say, "Lord, I love YOU! Lord, I love YOU!! I just love YOU Lord, I love YOU! Help me that I might be a blessing. Help me that my light might so shine." The Bible says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." [Matthew 5:16] "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." [Isaiah 55:6-9] All these things God has given us! The Bible says, "Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." [Isaiah 40:28-31] There is a **PRESENCE** of God, oh hallelujah, that God is **REAL**!! "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in *THE* *LAW* *OF* *THE* *LORD*; and in his law doth he meditate day and night..." [Psalm 34:1-2] **THIS LAW, (Holding up the Bible) he meditates upon!** "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the **COUNSEL**..." Are we getting our counsel from every Tom, Dick and Harry?? We need to get *NOT* our counsel from nobody BUT **GOD**!!! God is the source for *ALL* of our people!! We need to counsel from God!! HE wants to counsel us, counsel us with the joy of the Lord! That we will come up SHINING, as the glory of God! The Bible says, "Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity." You know, many times we get to fretting! "Fret not thyself..!!" "...neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." [Psalms 37:1-5] God wants us to let this light shine, in Hickville, wherever we are at! HE wants us to let our light shine! When [all around you] the swearing is going on, when the tempers are going, just go forward anyway! "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." [Psalm 23:1] "...for the joy of the LORD is your strength." [Nehemiah 8:10b] "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." [Romans 8:37] We need to have a collection of God's Word within us! My belly is full of rivers of living water! [See John 7:37-39] We need to speak out the Word of God in the face of opposition, in the times of oppression, that we might not be side-shifted to a track where we are of NO use to the Master! Many times God has to de-rail us and put us on a siding, a side track, when we should be on the *MAIN* *LINE*, praising God, giving God the glory! And giving God the victory. But HE has to side-track us because we are so dead, so out of shape, that HE is ashamed to even have us out there, saying we are a Christian. That is because we are sadder than last year's bird's nest!! We are dryer than last year's bird's nest! And we are sadder than we think we are. We need to have an up-to-date experience where the joy of the Lord is our strength! Hallelujah!! Like an engine. When that temperature gauge is over in the red, it means it is time to shut her down and do something. Take the load off, do something with it! Fix it or do something with it! That is because we are the same way. When we start having no joy, we need to sit down and say, "***LORD***!!! I need a prayer meeting here! I need to pray until I pray through! You know that is another thing that many of us have NEVER learned! We have never learned to pray through! You pray and pray and pray until you have *VICTORY*!! What you do is you pray, and they need to teach this in churches! You pray and you pray and you pray until you break through. Then when you break through, from that time you pray until you get victory! And that victory will run you three or four days, without too much problem! But you get down at the altar and have a little one minute prayer meeting and say, "Lord, forgive me." And you get up, and you are still losing because you are NOT changed! But I will guarantee you that when you get down and you pray to God and say, "Lord, touch me right now, in Jesus Name! The ***GLORY*** comes upon you, and brings a mind set! "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus..." [Philippians 2:5] We need "...the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." [Romans 12:2] Hallelujah!! Praise God! Glory!!! I'm going to close, but God is **REAL**!!
