"Is so some people, you know, you'll see the semi trucks going down the road hauling the chickens from, you know, Tyson Farms to the Chicken Strip Factory. All right? Stuff like that. Right? And so they tied those chickens' feet together and they stuff as many as they can in these crates. And so there was this guy. He would haul those chickens. He said his favorite job of hauling the chickens was when he unloaded the chickens." [00:29:07]

"And so he said, if you wanted to get that chicken up and gone, you had to come by and you had to slap that chicken and like wake it up to its freedom, right? And so I went in the jail and I felt the Lord say, you know, you go in there and you preach this message. There's some of these people that have forgot what it is to be free and you need to remind them." [00:30:05]

"And the Holy Spirit again said, you will preach the whole message to this man like this room is filled up. And so I preached this whole message on slap that chicken, tell him you're free. Who the son has made free is free indeed, right? And so we get to the end and we're going to pray. And I said, sir, would you like prayer? He said, yes." [00:32:01]

"And he's, he's turning back around and he stops and he says, they call me chicken. I started crying. I said, I see you chicken. The light sees you. Cause I wasn't planning on telling him nothing about slapping no chicken to tell chicken you are free. That Jesus has died to make you free. He rose again to make you free. I wasn't planning on telling that to chicken at all." [00:32:41]

"There is that withholds more than is necessary and that tends to poverty. The generous soul shall be made fat or made abundant. And he that waters shall be watered also himself. Praise the Lord. Heavenly father, we thank you this morning for this opportunity to show this opportunity to give. And father God, we thank you, Lord God, for your anointing on the seed. And father, we thank you for blessing the people this morning as they give." [00:35:56]

"So because of our offenses, offenses, he was offered up, he took our offenses and he had those offenses nailed to the cross. Why? Because what he was doing was taking my place. He was taking my place in sin, taking my place in the death that I deserved, right? Well, he did this so that he could become that sin on our behalf, go into death on our behalf. But listen, that was not the only thing that he was doing on our behalf." [00:38:49]

"And so he was offered up for our offenses. But listen now, he also rose on our behalf. And it says here in Romans 4, 25, that he arose unto our justification. What does that mean? Once we receive Christ, that means that we've made him our Lord, our Savior, washed in his blood. Now I live justified. In other words, just as if sin had never been. Hallelujah. Come on. Thank you, Father, that our Jesus is alive." [00:39:45]

"He was raised up not just for himself, but he was raised up for us. In fact, not only was he raised up for us, but my Bible says that I was raised up together with him. Come on. So when he was overcoming, he was grabbing you, grabbing me, and pulling us, taking us with him, carrying us on the inside of him so that we would be raised up. Come on, from the same death, out of the same sin, that he became on our behalf. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord." [00:40:55]

"He didn't walk out and say, my God, that was hell. No. When he got up, come on, he got up victorious. He came out saying, like it says in Matthew 28, behold, all power in heaven and in earth has been given unto me. Hallelujah. So when he got up, he got up in all supreme victory, all supreme authority, all supreme power, and then told his church, now you go. Hallelujah." [00:42:29]

"And he didn't just intend us to go with a cute little track in a denominational quarterly. No, he was sending us in the same power, in the same authority, dispatching us, assigning us. Come on, to bring the whole world to the knowledge of who he is and what he has done. Hallelujah. I look at Matthew 28. Let's go to another place in Matthew 28. Matthew 28, verse 1." [00:43:50]

"But the same power that was being released in the events of his death, his burial, his resurrection, it was not just a time on earth. The history man he was redeeming mankind to himself he was purchasing us out of the kingdom of darkness to come into the kingdom of his marvelous light and so those those events come on we not just know on the historical facts of them but there was power in those events and the power in those events are eternal they have never stopped." [00:43:56]

"The explosive power that happened that day ran and worked boom exploded in the present it ran into the past come on it's still echoing out into our future hallelujah because until jesus went to the cross shed his blood raised up for us until that happened all the saints that passed away before went to a place called paradise went to a place called abraham's bosom they did not go into heaven why the blood had to be shed jesus had to get back up and go put that blood on the mercy seat." [00:46:47]

"That power that happened there in the events of the death burial and the resurrection of christ is eternal in power in other words what happened there you can't even hold it inside the confines of time that power that was put on display was eternal it worked boom in that moment it echoed to the past echoed through the future and yet that will that power will never cease it will never stop come on somebody help me sing it this morning i said the blood will never i say will never." [00:48:40]

"Praise the lord so he said all power and everything is given unto me that's all the power there is is given and the power released in that moment still working in us today i'm also when you come up against adversity when you come up against sin when you come up against death when you come up against despair you come up against confusion come on you remember what the apostle paul said that you ought to be praying constantly and continuously lord i thank you that i have the spirit of wisdom and revelation." [00:48:43]

"All right matthew 28 you said i forgot i did almost all right verse one in the end of the sabbath as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week came mary magdalene and the other mary to see the sepulcher and behold there was a great earthquake and the angel of the lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat on it there's a lot of attitude in that i like it his countenance was like lightning and his raiment was white as snow." [00:50:05]

"Jesus was prophesying his resurrection before he ever got there before he got to the third day he was speaking and prophesying his resurrection all right so in fact in uh in matthew 16 and 16 verses 17 through 23 in matthew 17 22 and 23 in matthew 20 and 17 through 19 three times before you get to matthew 28 and the angel said he is risen just as he said three separate times he pulled his disciples aside and said the son of man shall be offered up i must be offered up." [00:53:09]

"The outcome ahead of time. I wonder why when you realize that you're going through adversity, I wonder why sometimes when you are going through trouble and going through problems, I wonder why sometimes you do not see the value in announcing the outcome before you get to the end of it. When you want to start being like the Lord Jesus Christ and say, this might be coming against me and that might be coming against me, it might look like hell breaking out all around me, come on, but I have a confidence." [00:54:46]

"Bringing us all up and out. The Bible says that he is the firstborn, the firstborn among many brethren. In other words, he showed us how to get up. He showed us how to get up out of that place of death. He showed us how to overcome. Hallelujah. And it has not changed. Glory be to God. We stay up. And listen, then in the book of Revelations. In Revelations, actually, let me tell you this first. John the Baptist, what he did, he came on a scene in John chapter 1 and verse 29." [00:56:29]

"God gave us that picture in the book of Exodus that when he was delivering his people from bondage generations of destitution generations of bondage the final thing that brought them out he said every man take a lamb every household a lamb the best lamb a spotless lamb a lamb without blemish a lamb without wrinkle and he said take take the lamb and then apply the blood to the doorposts and the lentils of your house I'm a temple made without hands I need to apply that blood to my life." [00:58:26]

"They have trouble receiving parts of his redemption parts of what he overcame but let me tell you something he overcame everything for your spirit your soul and your body he overcame it is a complete and total atonement he heals you in every sense of the word in every sense of the meaning he provides your healing and that blood of Jesus Christ that blood from that spotless lamb will go into every part of your life every recess of your mind get up in your emotions get down come on in your brain."
