Those little chicks ran under mama hen's feathers, and they were safe. They ran right you know how they ran under the wings of the mother hen and and she covers them? That's the safest place you can ever be. God wants us to know that we can run into his presence, and he will cover us. He will watch over us. You can call upon the name of the Lord, and he will come for you. He will come and rescue you. The Bible says you shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day.

That's why the bible says, remember Peter. Peter stepped out of the boat, and he started walking on water, and and he made a mistake. Instead of focusing on the Lord, he become distracted, and he started looking around, and he began to sink. And when he began to sink, he reached out. He called upon the Lord, and the Lord reached out and grabbed him and pulled him out. The name of the Lord is a strong tower. Let me just say this. When you make his presence your habitation, when you step out in faith, and even when you find yourself even having made a mistake, maybe I didn't have enough faith, and I began to sink into stuff. You can call upon the name of the Lord. And let me tell you, there will be deliverance. There will be salvation. Amen? [01:10:54] (41 seconds)  #CallUponTheLord Download clip

What did God do? He sent an angel. He sent an angel. I believe he sent an angel, and he caused confusion to come upon them so that my dad could get away from those guys. And so he drove home. And let me tell you, when you cover your family and you cover your children with the blood of Jesus, no terror by night will ever take them. Glory be to God. And he says, nor of the arrow that flies at noonday. So it doesn't matter if it is terroristic things that happen at night or things that happen during the day. God says, I will protect you.

So we went into this alley, and they were made sure we went deep enough so that that that no there will be nobody to come rescue me when they start to rob me and take my wallet and my watch and all this stuff.

but but their hearts was really far from God. And then we've got a second type of believer. I called it I called them the Moses type of believer because when when the glory would come over the tent, Moses would see the tent, the glory coming down, and he would leave the camp of wickedness, and he would go, and he would commune with God, and he would worship God, and he would connect with God. But then after the cloud leaves, he would go back to the camp. He would go back to the tent. And these are people that love to visit the presence of God. I call them Sunday Christians. They love God on Sunday, but you can't see God in them on Monday to Friday. How many of you know what I'm talking about? [01:06:27] (38 seconds)  #MosesTypeBeliever Download clip

Started fasting and praying, praying, fasting, fasting, praying. I went back again. And when I went back, I walked into that room the next day, and immediately, within five minutes, Jones was set free. The power of God came upon him. He was delivered. Delivered. Now let me finish with this part. What Jones didn't tell us is that his job was that he was a hitman. He would kill people for a living. That's how he was funding, his drug habit and his lifestyle.
