you praise the Lord?I don't know about anybody else, but I'm fired up and ready for battle.Amen.Every day, you should be wearing the full armour of God.You should have on the helmet of salvation,the breastplate of righteousness,your feet should be shod with the gospel of peace,your loins should be girt with the truth of His Word,you should have the shield of faithquenching all the fiery darts of the wicked one,and the sword of the Spirit,which is the Word of God in your mouth,that cuts to pieces the snare of the enemy.Amen?Greater is He that is in youthan anything that's out there in the world.You know, Thursday we had the breaking of bread meeting.I know it was bad weather and some people missed it.But I think it was Babs Azir,and he was talking,he was talking about prophesying over the churchand obviously over your children, over families,and over this, when it was a town, now it's a city.And the Lord spoke to me there in that meeting,and what he said, simply what he says is,the city may have lost its way,but the city has not lost its calling.Now, what I mean with that is this.Ken,Ken Thomas is not here,but I'll explain what I'm going to say very quickly,is many years ago,before even the Pentecostal church was established,there were a few of them,and I believe there were women,started to pray for revival to come to this town,it were a town.And it was roughly just after, I think it was,the Welsh revival,and they fetched two brothers herecalled the Jeffrey brothers,and Ken Thomas' granddad,he came with them,andAnd as they were here,miracles, signs, and wonders took place.People in hospital have said they won't even last 24 hours.I think someone got pinned with a train.He should have died.But he miraculously healed very quickly,and he was out of hospital very quickly,and they don't understand why.But miracles, signs, and wonders started to take placewithin Doncaster.And very quickly, before it all ended,they went to 500 people,and people were coming from all over.So
when the Jeffrey brothers left,and actually Ken Thomas' granddad left,they asked him if he would come backand be the first pastorof the Doncaster Pentecostal Church.It's changed names since then.So he came and spent that time beingDoncaster Pentecostal's first pastor.My dad used to tell me stories about this.And he used to tell me stories about,Ken Thomas.And I've never met Ken Thomas.And the Lord said,as we started running this churchmany, many years ago,the calling,what's on this,it was a town when he started,on this town,now it's a city,on this town,it's still out there.He wanted what took place back thento take place now.But on a greater way,you should say.And I don't want to knock any of the church,but he said,I need someone to take up that mantle.Because the church that was called to do ithas not took the mantle.So we say,all right,here we are Lord.We'll take anyone's mantle,praise God,hallelujah.In fact,at the same time,he started to talk to me about John G. Lake.I didn't know much about John G. Lakeand I started to research him.And he said,you can have what John G. Lake hadhere in Doncaster,at Life Changes Church,Doncaster.And I thought,wow, wow.And then I never set out to Pastor Janet.We were pastors.We'd only been young in the faith.We hadn't been pastors that long.And then at Christmas,I never said,I'd not said anything to Pastor Janet.It's true, isn't it?And she says,I opened the present.She said,I don't know why I bought you that,but the Lord led me to buy it.And it was a John G. Lake's bookon all his sermons,radio ones and everything.I've even preached a couple,I'll be honest with you.I took them.Because you know why I preached them?Because I said,Lord,if I preach his message,it becomes part of us.So I stole,I have stole a couple of his messages.Obviously,I did it my way.Not as good as his way,most probably,but there we go.And so,and I said,we need a connectionwith that,with thatmiracle signs and wondersthat took place.I want someone,you know,I just
want to be connected.And my dad went to be with the Lordin,was it 2017?Was it 17?2017.So,at his funeral,I met a man called Ken Thomasand Patricia Thomas.That's his wife,his lovely wife.And from the day they came to the funeral,they'd been part of Life Changes Church Doncaster.And I went,there's my,there's my connection,Lord.Praise God.Hallelujah.Patricia had now gone to be with the Lord.So that's a story and a halfhow she went.Wow,that's faith.But I thought,that's our connection,Lord.Then out of the blue,one day,Jonathan started to put on the screen,Life Changes Church Doncaster.And the Lord said,John G. Lake had healing rooms.Well,this is a step further,a miracle center.And we've prophesied,in this town,before it,before it were a city,we started to prophesythat one,one,one thing is,and this piece is for youand I knowthere's other peoplethat will go and witnessin the,uh,market andin the town center,thatheartisopen to the gospel.It is not an hour placeto witness.It's an easy place.Not only that,he linked us with Julie's dad,John Smith.John Smith,I was like Timothyand John was like Paul.And he sold into my life.There was not manyEnglish peopleknow much about the spiritual realmwhen it comes to demons.But John did.And he taught me a lotabout that subject.And I thought,I'm gonna fetch a little bitup later on.But what I'm trying to sayis,the Lord told meto tell you,Peter,and anyone else who's out there,he sowed many seeds.In fact,Sharon,we came back to the Lordthrough John Smith,the time nowis to reap inwhat is sown.So when you go outwitnessing,don't be just sowing seeds.Expect an harvest.The Lord told methose wordsare still out there.There's sowingstill out there,but someonehas to go thereand reap inthat harvest.So,men,we decreedand declaredthe healthiest placeto livein the United Kingdomis in a placecalledDoncaster,Lord.I met two peoplefrom America once.And I was justin a coffee shopand this womansat next to meand I thought,why are they sittingnext to me?I'm not very
sociable.I don't know them,you know.I want it savedat this time.I thought,why are they sittingnext to me?And they startedto talk to me.You know,when I lookedat his card,they were an oil baron.I just ripped it upand put it in the bin.I said,Lord,that was stupidwhen I got saved.I should have had that one.He's an oil baron.But when I told himabout Doncaster,he said,Doncaster?Where's Doncaster?What is Doncaster?They hadn't heard of it.But the Lord said,you know what?They didn't hear of Nazareth.What good can comeout of Nazareth,they said.And the Lord said to me,I'll tell you what goodcan come out of Doncaster,revival.It just takesa people to believe Godand to come togetherin the unity of faith.Amen?Hallelujah.I even got to be whereI'm preaching here,aren't I?But I'm excitedwhat God's going to do.So yes,there's going to be a play.It'll play on the worship,first of all,because God is doingsomething newand he's faithful.Remember,he used to lead worship.Satan is very slyand cunningand he tries to get in.If he can get intothe worship somehow,he'll spoil thingsbut then he comesat people as well.He comes at pastors.We're in the end timesand things are aboutto break outlike never before.Anyway,I better move on.Hallelujah.Is anyone excited?I'm excitedwhat God's going to do.Hallelujah.But we have gotto be readyfor these things.The Spirit's out thereand if we allow them,they're going to be doingwhat they wantin churches,doing what they wantwith the pastors,doing what they wantwith the worship teams.They'rethe teachersand all these kindsof things.There's so many thingspopping up nowand if they're not careful,they're going to getcaught out.I'm not going downthat road.Let's have our confessionof faith.Let's have one againto the Word.On the count of three,let's mean what we say.One, two, three.God is who He says He is.I am who God says I amand I can dowhat God says I can do.Amen.Turn to Revelation 2verses 2 and 3.Verse 20 and 21.Revelation 2.20 to 21.Notwithstanding,I have a few
thingsagainst youbecause you sufferestthat woman Jezebelwhich calleth herselfa prophetessto teachand to seducemy servantsto commit fornicationand to eat thingssacrificed unto idols.Verse 21.And I gave her spaceto repentof her fornicationand she repented not.The Jezebel spiritis a manipulator.It gets peopleto do what they want.You think it's what you wantbut they're doingwhat they want.It uses peopleto be its stepping stoneinstead of beinga stepping stonefor the people.Where there's a Jezebel spiritthere's usually an Ahab one.We've had Jezebel spiritsin this church.I don't get on with them.Some pastors allow themto rule in the church.I don't.I won't.I've got a wife behind mewho won't let me do that.It's very supple.Subtle.Is that the word?Subtle.There we got there.Thank you, Emma.Thanks.All right.It's very subtle.Sometimes it's to suck her up.Someone says,how wonderful you are.How great you are.Can I lead you this wayor lead you that way?Trying to get what it wants.But then sometimesit shows its ugly face.Usually a subtle oneyou can deal with very easily.But one that shows its face,sometimes you need to give itthe right foot of fellowship.But it ain't going to change.You've got to be very carefulwith these Jezebel spirits.In the last days,they're one of the spiritsthat will try and ruin a churchsame as witchcraft.I think I sent it to you,didn't I?With families.They're going to attack familiesand we know they'reattacking families.So you've just got to be wiseand thinkand see it for what it is.Let me move on.But I'm not hereto talk about Jezebel.But according to the word of God,this woman named Jezebelwas given what?It says time to repent.To change her ways.Verse 21 said,God gave her time or spaceto repent.Sometimes you have to give that timeand that space.You might think,if he's talking about repentance,he's talking about unsaved.No, I'm talking about you.I'm talking about me.But some people think,once I've repented,I'm all right.I'm now living under grace.I can do
what I want.No, you can't.You can't do that.If I do something wrongto Pastor Janet,I don't say,well, I repented of thattwo weeks ago,four weeks ago.I'm not saying it again.No, no, I've done something.Oh, I apologize.I shouldn't have done that againor whatever it is.And it's the same with the Lord.I've got a relationshipwith the Lord.And if I say somethingor do something wrong,I say, Lord,I shouldn't have done that.I repent.I was wrong.So I want my heartto be right.If I want the anointingof Godthat removes burdensand destroys you,I have to be right with God.And we need to be right.We pray for revival,but yet we don't wantto do anythingfor the revival to come.When God comes in his fullness,it destroys sin.So sometimes we're very thankfulthat God doesn't fetchthat revivalor doesn't comein his fullness of his power.Otherwise, people will bedropping down deadin the churches.Ananias and Sapphiraonly lied to the Holy Spirit.they dropped down dead.What would we thinkin this churchif all of a suddenthree or four peoplejust dropped down dead?What would we say?It's the devil.It might be the glory.I don't know about you,but I want to be right.I want to leave,so to speak,on my terms,not the devil's.Lying is as badas murdering to God.It's a sin.But people say,no, a lie can't be as bad.It is.It's a sin.God gives everyonespace to repent.Why?Because Godis the great giver.Amen?The greatest provider,the greatest loving.In a roundabout way,that's what He saidin John 3.16.God so what?Loved.Loved what?The world.That He did what?Gave.Who did He give?His Son.Is anyone's loveso perfected in herethat they couldgive their son?I love the Lord,but wow.You've got to havesome experiencelike Abraham hadwho believedhe was going tosacrifice his own son.I'm not there yet.If you want,I can sacrifice yours.I'm only joking with that.But God gave.God is perfect love.What did He do really?He sowed a seedto reap in a what?Whose harvest?God believesin sowingand reaping.He sowedthe most preciousthingthat He
had.It's the mercyof Godthat gives peopletimeand spaceto repent.Now,in the Bible,in the parableof the foolish rich man,we see that this manhas a timeand a responsibilityto repent.Luke 12,verse 16 to 21,please.Luke 12.God is leading us.Before revival,do you know what comes first?Holiness.No one wants totalk about holiness.It's not exciting.But God needs holinessin His people.We've drawnover the yearsfrom whereif a woman wore lipstick,they called herJezebel.You couldn't bein a choirif you wore makeup.Wow.Women usedto wear hatsand all woreflowery dresses.Not only flowery dresses,but that's whatthey sort of wear.And the men saton that side.You couldn't weara t-shirtwith Ben's throaton it.It's demonic.It's supposedto be plain.And we wentfrom a ditchwhere you couldn'teven pray for somebodybecause you hadto be a deaconor you hadto be a pastor.And if anyone elsehad done it,you should havefetched themto the deacons.That's why I saya deacon-possessed church.That isn'twhat Godorchestratedto bein the last days.But now we'vegone overto another ditchwhere anything goes.People gocome to this,maybe people cometo this churchand get prayed for.Then they goto another churchon a Sunday nightand get prayed for.Then they goto this ministryand get prayed for.You know what that is?Lack of faith.Don't mindall the praise for you.You're not goingto get healed.You're just goinground seeingif you can getanything from somebody.You will get something.But it might not bewhat you really want.Kenneth Hagin sayssomeone once wentto a deliverance meeting.There's no such thingas a deliverance meeting.There's a meetingwhere a deliverancetakes place.And they wentto this deliverance meetingand ended upwith a drool.And they couldn'tstop droolingout of their mouth.Kids are enjoyingthemselves.You've got to bevery careful.12 verse 16 says,And he spokea parable unto them,saying,The ground of a certainrich manbrought forth plentiful.And he thoughtwithin himself,saying,What shall I do?Excuse me.He thoughtwithin
himself,saying,What shall I do?Because I haveno roomwhere to bestowmy fruit.And he said,This will I do.I will pulldown my barnsand buildgreater ones.And therewill I bestowallmy goods.Verse 19,I will sayto my soul,Soul,thou hastmuch goods,laid upfor many years.Take your ease,eat,drink,and bemerry.But God saidunto him,You fool,this nightyour soulshall berequiredof you.Then whoshall thosethingsbewhichthou hastprovided?So is hefor himselfand is notrich towardsGod.The farmost focusedon onething,it says,getting rich.Why?So he couldeat,drink,and bemerry.What'sverse 20say again?But Godsaid untohim,You fool.I wonderwhat a personwould thinkif yousaid tohim,you'rea fool.I think sometimeswe think,you know,when Jesuswas around,you know,he was so,never spokein that aspectof things,you know,you can berighteousnessangry.He went tohis father'shouse,and helooked attables,chased themout.We can berighteouslyangryand notsin againstGod.You see,we areunder shepherds,and we saythis is hishouse,and nobodywill getglory.Nobody,nobody,no man,no womanwill getglory inthis church.If Goduses,for instance,if Godstarted touse Peterwith greathealingsand miracles,signs andwonders,I know somePeter draw upand says,well,I'm the man.He's not goingto do,he's not likethat.He's so humble.I'm just usingyou as,you know,he's so humble.But if someonegot up hereand says,I'm the man.Listen,I met somebodywho hadrevivalin Africa.Many gotsaved.We were youngChristians,and my dadsaid,oh,this man has come.His name was Elijah.What a greatname as well.He said,oh,revival isbreaking outwhere he's beenand he's comingto minister.And he got up.Well,he didn't get up.We were justtalking to himat first.My dad said,oh,this is my son.He just got saved,blah,blah,blah.And he says,I see a lot ofpeople got savedin Africathrough you.And he saidthese words,Dennis,if I don't gethim saved,no one will.And I thought,whoo.I only wentto that meeting.I didn't wantto go there.And I thought,I've had pride.I know what pride is.Wow.That man,at the
end of the time,was no longerallowed to comeand ministerin this country.Do you know why?How's he gettingpeople saved?Because thatanointing isto get peoplesaved.It'd be molestingchildren.So,just becausesomebody getspeople saved,God is usingthe callingthat's on theirlife to getpeople saved,but he will dealwith a manif he's committingsin.Oh,you notice I'm notjoking today,am I?No,I don't want to.It's not on myheart to.In Mark 8,36 it says,for what shallit profit a manif he shall gainthe whole worldand losehis own soul?The goods on the,my car is notworth me losingmy soul.I made a decisionwhen I got saved.Lord,I've come to you.You are myfirst love.I decreedit and declaredit when he askedme,do you loveyour wife morethan me?I had to makethat decisionand he askedme three times,which I didn'trealize untilPastor Janet toldme once.But you noticeit was three times.But I keptsaying I loveJanet differently.I love Janetdifferently untilI said,I love you,Lord,more than mywife.And that'swhen the presenceof God filledmy heart.I thought itarrived untilmy wife camein and askedme the samequestion.Do you loveme morethan you lovethis God?And I wentthree times downthe sameroute.I love Goddifferently untilI said,I love Godmore than Ilove you.And she slammedthe door and walkeddown and said,I can't believeyou.And she actuallysaid afterwards,I knew howto react againsta woman,but how can Ireact againstGod?Oh, I can'tsee.I don't knowwhat to doabout this.But I madethat decision.And then I madea decision toGod, God,I will serveyou all thedays of mylife.I will dowhatever you askme to do.I have twochildren, twoyoung children.My wife isunsaved.She's veryunhappy withme.She's talkingto her momand dad.And mom said,do you wantto come andspend a littlebit moretime back inLeeds?If she goesto Leeds,Lord, andtakes mychildren,all I'mgoing to do24-7 isbe at yourthrone roomcrying outto you,saying I'mnot prayingover anything.I'm notwitnessing toanybody untilyou fetch herback.Well, she neverwent.And veryquickly,
Godsaved her andmy children asyoung children.Why?Because I madethis decision.I will followChrist all thedays of mylife,whatever ittakes.I've lostfriends.When we firststarted a churchand people left,I used to gohome and cry.I felt like myright arm hadbeen tuggedoff.I would crybecause peopleleft church.It was doingme no goodbecause peoplewere leavingchurch on aregular basis.Some of themwere like yo-yosand came back,but then they'dleave again.But she'ssowing intotheir lives.And I heard aman once say,and I didn'tused to reallylisten to thisman, but thisparticular time,I just putChristian TV onand I startedto speak.And they saidthis one littlething changedmy life totally.And it sayseveryone who getson the busdoesn't go tothe terminus.And it'ssaying with church.And I thought,oh, somethingin my spirit,and I'venever criedsince.Never criedsince.So if youleave, I won'tcry for you,because noteveryone goesto the terminuswith you.So I had that,it's God thatdid something inme.You know,people are goingto leave,you've got tolet them go.And I'll behonest with you,I don't prayfor anybodywho leaves.Very rarely do Ipray for peoplewhen they leave.I've got enoughprayers here.God woke me upone day andsays, I want youto pray overthis thing.I was tired.And I said,Lord, I'mtired.A lot of usin church said,go wake upsomebody likeVanda.Wake her upand let herpray.I'm tired.And I wentstraight backto sleep.And the nexttime I sawVanda,somethingreally strangehappened tome on aSunday.I said,what?She said,God woke meup.I said,will you prayover thissituation?I went,oh my Lord.She said,I sent him.I can't believeI sent him.And we stilllaugh about itthis day.But I thengot before theLord andsaid,Lord,I willnever,evernot praywhen youtell meto pray.And twice,very lately,I was wokeup overAnita'schildren.It wasaround four.He told meto pray forthem.So I startedto pray forthem.I sentthem somethingwhat theyneeded toread.I said,you need toread thisevery day.They're nothere.And hesaid tome,my wifetold methe
samething onlythis morningas well.It's Godconnectingthings.So I say,Lord,if youwant meto wakeme up,youwant meto sayanything,do anything,I willsay itand doit.You knowI don'tliketraveling,but ifyoutell meto travel,I willtravel.But Lord,I read inthe Bible,you canactuallytranslatepeople.You cantake themsomewhere andthey don'teven sortof leavetheir room.I'm upfor that,Lord.Gloryto God.Hallelujah.I cango for adaysomewhere.PraiseGod.Hallelujah.Two peopleon the sameday,and one'sin here,I won'tsay thename,said youwere inmy dreamsyoutold mesomething.And itwas exactlythe samethingI toldthem.I wentbackhomeand said,Lord,that'sreallygood,but canI knowas wellif I'mgoing topeople'sdreams?Can Ihave thesamedreams soI'mthere soI cansay,yeah,I dreamtthat aswell.Nothingis impossiblewith God.We puthim ina box.He'salmighty.Amen?So in Mark8,26,I'll say itagain.For whatshall itprofit aman ifhe shallgain thewhole worldand losehis ownsoul?Just likemost people,he failedto repent,building uptreasuresforthemselves.They staybehind.It'swhat youdo forGod.What countsis haveyou gottreasure inheaven?The Greekword translationfor repentancemeans achange ofpurpose,a changeof will,and achange ofmind.You see,all the goodworks youcan dowithoutrepentanceis nogood.John Wesleysaid this.So manypeople inthe churchdo you knowwho JohnWesley is?Yeah?He's only downthe road,or hewas.John Wesleysaid somany peoplein thechurch donot actuallybelieve intheir heartand havenot actuallyrepented.They mentallyascribe tothe truththat what?That hedied androse againfor theirsins.The truthisn't inthe Bible.experience.One day I'mgoing thisway,and Godturns mearound,and I goin anoppositedirection.It doesn'tslightlyturn me.It totallyturns me.One minuteI'm doingA, B, C,and D,and the nextminute I'mon X, Y,Z.They're burntup.They're gone.I no longerwant to spendmy daysdrinking.I no longerwant to begoing to thebetting shop.I'm no longerthinking likethe worldthinks.Why?Because I'vehad a lifechangingexperience.All of asudden I knowthe
meaningof life,and it meansmore thananything tome.True repentanceis when youchange yourmind,your purpose,and yourwill towhat?To agreewith God.It says,by theirfruit theyare known.The time isright now.You see,there's twoplaces ineternity.What are they?There's twoplaces we'regoing to endup ineternity.Where arethey?You'rehavinganhell.Hell do.The path thatleads tothese placeson earthis thedecisions youmake now.The streamsof timerun intothe oceanof eternity.Time'srunning out.It's likethe egg,I don'thave tostill dothese eggtimers,you usedto putan eggin andturn itround andthe sandswould drip.They neverworked,did theyeither?I couldnever get anegg rightusing anegg timer.But the sandsare runningout.Time isshort.One minuteyou'reyoung,one minuteyou're inyour 20sor your30s orwhatever,and youstart tothink,oh,40,they'reold,50,60,but withina few daysas itseems,you're40 and40'snotoldanymore.You'resaying,oh,60,70,I usedtothinkI'dlike tobe35.I'vealways wantedto be35.I'vealways wantedto be35.Wow.I wantto be35 nowas well,to behonestwithyou.I hadan openvisionwithJesusand I'mwalkingwithhim.Peoplesay,I don'tcare whatanyone says.I willdare.I don'tcare whatanyone thinks.You can'ttake itaway fromme.I willdare.And I'mwalkingwith himand there'stwootherswithus.I don'tknowwhotheyare.I donow.Therewereangels.And I'mwalking.There'sJesus.I'mnext tohim andthere'stwoangelsthere.And we'rewalkingdown thistrail.It'ssobeautiful.It'sunbelievable.I feelso happy.I can'texplainit.We'vegotsmileson ourface andeverything.And Isaid,Lord,how oldam I?And hesaid,you're36.I said,36?I alwayswanted tobe 35.And hemade thegreatestlaughanyonecouldhear.It wasso muchof abellylaugh.And Ilaughed andthe twopeople wholaughed,it wasabsolutely,man,if Ihad had myway,I'd havekept walking.I wouldnever havecome back.And helaughed.It wasso beautiful.It wasso wonderfulthat,yes,he knowsI'vealwayssaid Iwanted tobe 35.And assoon asI saidthat,we laughed.It wasso wonderful.But what I'mtrying tosay is,time isshort.You'lllook backand

could moan and complain but so he could train teach and minister to the peoplewe need to make right choices amen hallelujah let's do something a little bit different i'vegot another scripture somebody who's further back who wants to read luke 16 verses 19 to 31don't be shy okay come on you got it you're off screen yeah 16 19-31 number what number is it31 or 32.dead. Amen. Thank you. As we know, Hades and Hell is exactly the same place. It's a place of departedspirits. It's a place of no return. It's a place of torment. It's a place of torment. It's a place oftorment. The sad thing is no one has to go there. People say, do you believe in one saved,always saved? Some say, yeah, I believe in one saved, always saved. Some people say, no. I say,I'm not trying not to be saved. I'm not trying not to be saved. I'm not doing anything not tobe saved. I'm not pushing the limits, seeing how far I can get away. I don't want to get away withthings. You see, my wife,is my wife. I'm not dibbling with other wives or single women, seeing how far I can get so itdoesn't affect Janet. You see, if Janet thought I was trying to flirt with Emma, I'm pretty sureshe wouldn't say, it's okay. I'm pretty sure I'd be sat in a chair and having a good talking to,stuttering, trying to find my way. I'm not trying not to be saved. I'm not trying not to be saved.I'm not trying not to be saved. I'm not trying not to be saved. I'm not trying to be saved. I'mare you flirting with the world? Because Christ, we're the bride of Christ. I'm sure when Imarried Pastor Janet, we won't pass it, when I said, I will, and I can't think of the words atthe moment. I do, is it, or I will? I can't remember. What is it? I do. You haven't even saidit yet. Well done. I'm pretty sure if I said, can I have a week a year where I'm single?She would have said, I don't.When you go on holiday,you're not a week away from Christ or a fortnight.He goes with you.People used to say, if you break the speed limit,if it's 70 miles an
hour and you're going 80,the Holy Spirit gets out of the car.He doesn't.He doesn't get out of the car.He's with you.If someone walks into a nightclub and they want to be partying,he don't wait outside waiting for you to come back out,thinking, why, they're a long time.He's with you.He'd never leave you or forsake you.you're doing things that's ungodly,he sees all, he knows all.Someone once said to me, he said, where do you like to pray?Now, that particular time, I used to like to prayeither cutting the lawn or in the bathroom.They said, you don't pray in the bathroom, do you?I went, yeah.I said, that's not right.I said, why?He said, because it's a bathroom.It's a private place.I said, God's not outside the bathroom.He comes in with me.He doesn't say, oh, you're getting changed.He comes in with me.I've got a fellowship.I've got a relationship with him.We are one.He never leaves me nor forsakes me.Jesus died to redeem everybody,but Christians take heaven and hell too lightly.If they didn't, they would live a more holy life,and they would want to win souls into the kingdom.2 Peter 3 verse 9 says this,The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,as some men count slackness,but he is longsuffering towards us,not willing that any should perish,but that should all come,to repentance.That's for the unsaved.When you do something in your life that's not quite right,there's no harm in saying,Lord, I repent of that.I shouldn't have done that.But repentance means you turn around.You don't keep doing it.You know, if you keep doing something,people say, well, I'm doing this,and the Lord's not even speaking to me about it.Yes, he was.But if you don't act on what he's saying,your heart grows hard.It grows calluses on there,and you no longer hear him.Someone said to me, he said,so you don't go to pubs?I went, if it's a restaurant,I'll go into a pub.Yeah, I've got to.He said, but don't you go drinking in there with lads?I went, no, I don't go drinking in there.He said, well, why
not?I said, because I'm saved.I'm born again.I used to do those things,but he took them away from me.And they said, well, I'm born again.He's not took them away from me.And you know what I say to that is?I must be his favorite.One of us is wrong.I have no desire to drink.No desire.But the Lord changed me.Let me put it this way.I use James as an example.James comes to this church,and James used to be alcoholic.Let's take it to the extreme.He didn't used to be.But he was.James used to be an alcoholic.He gets saved, and straight away,I don't even want to drink.I've got no shakes.I just stopped straight away.I said, oh, great.And then,he goes to a restaurant,and me and Janet sat there,and we've got pints in our hand.Mine's lemonade, and Janet's is Guinness.No, we've got pints of whatever we've got in our hand.And James walks in and thinks,oh, the pastors.We'll say pastors,but it could be anybody else in this room.It could be Ebbs.It could be Dean.It could be anybody.Oh, they've been saved a long time.If they're drinking, surely I can.See, we're an alcoholic.Then he starts to have one.But then he has two,ten,and it goes on.What's happened there?You have just become a stumbling block.I say this is true,because I've got a friendwho are a missionary,who's been a pastor,and he's an evangelist.And when he got saved,he stopped drinking straight away.We were playing football for the church team.And when he goes to the pub,he buys himself a lemonade,but his pastor and all his deaconsare sat there with pints of lemonade,lager, and beer, whatever it is,on the table.He said, I nearly walked out,and thought, this is just garbage.This is just not right.They say one thing and do another thing.But thank God he never.Because that man,he's been all over the world,he's quite a rich person,taking stuff to these poorer countries,witnessing getting people saved,he's run a church and he's an evangelist.How many hearts has he touched?If he'd have walked away from God at that moment,how many
hearts today would be in hell?It's not about you.It's about others.Some people want you to be their stepping stone,and they will use you to build themselves up.And you won't even know it.We are stepping stones.Me and myself, me and Janet, are stepping stones.What's your reward in heaven?Our reward in heaven iseveryone else is in front of uswhen it comes to rewards.That's when we know we did right.We did right.We've done good.Because everyone else has moved on with God.This generation should be far furtherthan any other generation that has been.When my dad told me about the Pentecostal churchin the beginning,and there were 500,there were men and women of God,I now look back and think,well, what's happened?Where's all the mothers in the church?Where are all the fathers in the church?Something happened.When God moves in these end times,let me tell you,it'll be for a short time.Do you know why?We'll have a new denomination.We'll bring up another one.We will be called the life-changing denomination.It's a new denomination.Because men want to start,oh, it's all about us.It's all about us.And it's not about,this last move won't be about man.In all the moves of God,it's usually God has used somebody.He used the John Wesleysand people like that.During the Welsh revival,I can't think of his name now,who was in the Welsh revival?Evan Roberts, yeah, that's him.One of the times,he put a brown bag over his headand preachedbecause he didn't want people to see who he was.I mean, that's taking it to the extreme.I had to sign my shirt out, mate.But it's taking it to the extreme.I can't imagine if I've got a brown bag on my head now.Thinking, wow, this is a funny church to come to.And you're all sat with brown bagsbecause none of us want to be seen for Christ.It's taking it to the extreme.But if you're not careful,man will rise up and say,hey, look at me.But not this move.No one's going to get glory in this move.This is going to be all God.I even say, Lord,let this be the move of
Enoch.Let it be called the Enoch move.You know what I mean with Enoch?One minute he's here and one minute he's gone.Let it be so filled, fully anointed.Let every plane and everyone praise and worship in God.And the next time we open our eyes,I say, where's the building?We've gone.And Ed looks down and thinking,whoo, shut my eyes.We're a long way up here, Lord.Glory to God.How wonderful.That's how it's supposed to be.You're not going to wake up one day.You're not going to be in bed and wake up and think,oh, I'm in heaven.Your spirit will be moved.You'll have an utterance in there.Whoa.God's about to do something.I'm expecting.I'm excited.I'm excited.People will be praising.I'm worshiping God.Hallelujah.Praise you, Lord.And their eyes will open.And they've made it.We're in heaven.We've been caught up with Christ.You're not going to be sat there having your tea.Just sat there thinking,what's I'm telling you tonight?And all of a sudden you're gone.There'll be a quickening.Hallelujah.I say, Lord, I want to be in meetingand jump up and not land.A pastor friend said his brother got up to sing a song.And he sang a song about heaven.He sang a song about Jesus coming soon.And on the way back, he shouted out,take me soon, Lord.His bottom hit the chair and he fell off.He was gone.Talk about take me soon.He was gone that very second.And do you know when the ambulance men came,they said, what's been happening?We've never seen somebody die with a smile on his face.And he said it went round.It went round everybody.I won't say his name because some might know him.He died.But he didn't.He died, but he's not dead.He died and went to heaven with a smile on his face.Talk about answering prayer.So be careful if you say, Lord, take me soon.We must always have a repentant heartand be willing to allow God to change us.The Lord says we must repent in our hearts,repent of our ways,truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.It's then you will have an experienceand change in your life.You'll
experience that change.If you are here right now,and you're thinking, is that pastor ever going to shut his mouth?question, how much of God do you really want?Was it Paul who preached and someone fell out of a tree?Was it Paul?Fell off out of a building or whatever it was, yeah?It must have been going on.I think James will remember this,that when we started church, we didn't have church meetings.We had conference meetings.Of course, the time went on and on.Somebody came once, somebody new came,and they said, wow, we were really good,but whoo, they're long meetings.They never came back.They never came back.But time will just disappear when you're in the presence of God.And it'll mean more than your Yorkshire puddings.No one else but you can make the change.I'll finish with this.Shall we look at a scripture?Yeah, we'll look at 1 Peter 4.17.I'll finish with this.It says,For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God.And if first begins with us,what shall the end be to them that obey not the God?The gospel of God.God deals with his people before he deals with man.A woman of God called Thelma Hess gave a word many years ago.You'll love Darius with the Lord now.They were from America.She said this,Those who have not hearkened to God's word shall be set aside,and others shall come to the forefront.That means the calling on your life, whatever it may be,if you don't walk in that calling,he'll call others beside you.That's what I did with myself and Pastor Janet.We're still a working process,and everyone should be still a working process.But some people think,what are they going to do if I leave?I'll tell you what they're going to do.Someone else is going to take your place.It doesn't end.Lord, I'm the only one you've got.They said, there's thousands I've got.You just don't know about them.Thousands.God's not limited to you.He's not limited to me.He'll raise somebody else up.In fact, they've already been prepared.I said to the Lord once, I said,Lord, what
happens, Lord, if we don't do what you've called us to do?What happens if we don't do it?He said, I'll raise somebody else.I'll raise another church up.I say, Lord, let me decree and declare,you don't need to raise another church.I'm willing to change.If you want to take us in a new direction,we're willing to change.We're open to change.We don't want the same old situation.Same old.I love it when I don't know what's going to take place.Ooh, yeah.If you think you're going in one direction,all of a sudden there's a big turn to the right,and we go down there.I like it.Can you make mistakes?You know what the biggest mistake is?Doing nothing.I say, if you're going to make a mistake,make a mistake doing something.At least you're doing something.It won't be a mistake.Drew's outside with the kids.I asked Drew, I said, what's it like drumming for Ed?He said, what's it like?I said, it's different.He said, I like it.But he said, yeah, you have to pay attention,which is good.Jonathan has the songs up there.He never knows if he's going to put them on the screen.Because when you come,God leads you in a different direction.But that's how it's supposed to be.I don't know.When I'm down there, am I ever going to get up?But that's how it's supposed to be.It's not like halfway through a song and it's 11.Amen.Glory to God.Let's move on.You just go with the flow.If we never get up, we never get up.It doesn't make much difference.As long as God is moving, it makes no difference.We ain't got to be heard every week.I say, just, my permission and pastor's permission is,we trust you enough to be led by the Holy Ghost.11 is the lottery number.We trust him enough.If we lose trust in people,I once said to my wife,because I'd been hurt when I was younger,when I was saved,and I said, if I don't ever trust you,we haven't got a relationship.Even if you do nothing,if I lose my trust,I don't have a problem.I used to be a very jealous person.Right?She never did anything to make me jealous.But when
we'd go out,I trusted myself.I didn't trust other guys.I'd been out with other guys.I know what other guys are like.So I trusted myself,but I didn't trust them.So when we'd go out,we'd go out,we went out on one of your work stools,was it, I think.Halfway through it, we came home.Because I had a stomach problem.I had a stomach problem.I didn't want to be there.It made me ill.Because I didn't trust other people.When we got saved,I laughed.Because I knew how much she loved the Lord.So I wasn't jealous anymore.Because she loves the Lord.Even if she didn't love me,she didn't do anything.She'd never give me,we've never had that problem,but she loved the Lord.So I know she loves the Lord.So she didn't cheat on me, Lord.Hallelujah.Because she loves you.Glory to God.It all left.But I love this.I love this church.And one thing for sure is I'm jealous for this church.What takes place in this church.Because I know the mandate we've got for this church.I am getting tempted all the time to do things.When I say do things,it's like even the churches of Doncaster must come together.It's written that the churches need to come together.But I know there's the right time.In my spirit, I know there's a right timewhen we do come together.And I know what's going to take placejust before we do come together.If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.But that's what we believe.We've got a mandate.And nothing's going to take us away.I don't care when people say,well, you know, you're a church,you're not coming together with the rest.There is a time.But I won't compromise my standing on Godto get together with people.I am not going to let somebody infect mewith their doctrine and their unbelief.To say we're all together and we're all one.Especially when someone's gaining through it financially.I've got to stop.Let me just say this.A word from God came through Kenneth Copelandmany years ago.And part of that word was this.It said, listen to God and be ready.Make adjustments in your life and in your lifestyle.He's
talking to Christians.Prepare.Commit.And consecrate yourself.Google that later.Consecrate yourself.If we all do this,you will guarantee being in the next move of God.I'm going to be in the next move of God.I've determined it in my life.We have been prophesying over this,we'll call it a city,when it were a town,for over 30 years.Have you seen everything come to pass?No.I've not seen it all come to pass.But those words will come to pass.Because we've decreed that.God called me to decree and declare things.A man of God came here and said,this will be, from America,this town will be a city.And when it's a city,take authority because you've got the keys of the city.Many years ago, it was in the 90s, I think, wasn't it?Yeah, it was the 90s.No, it was the 90s.It's when he first came across.And that's what he said.So we knew it was going to be a city.And it became a city in,do you remember?Was it just last year?Was it 23?22, 23?It became a city.We knew it was going to become a city.When it became a city,we thought, hallelujah, praise the Lord.Now's the time then.Now's the time to use the keys to the city.Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven.Whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven.But not only that,when you read,Isaiah 45, especially the first three verses,and look,you've got the keys.This place has got gates.If you don't know, this city's got gates.We've got the authority to those gates.And to loose what we need to be loosed.It even says,the finance of the city belongs to you.It's in the wrong hands.It needs to be in the Christians' handsso they can do some good with it.Not so you can build your barns,but to use it for God's kingdom.We've got it.We need to claim it.So I've been confessing, Lord,we're under an open heaven.This church is under an open heaven.Every time someone's come to this church,except for the last time,and that was Gerard when he came,they said, it's so easy to preach in this church.We had a pastor come and he said,I couldn't stop.It was
so easy.And the last time he came, he said,I had resistance.Only once ever.Have we heard that said?That wasn't encouraging.We said, Lord,whatever needs to be removed, remove it.We don't have resistance in Life Changers Church Doncaster.So it'll be very interesting what happens on the 25th.And I'm expecting to say,woo, that was easy to preach.It's our time.If it's our time, it's your time.If you've got children out of the kingdom,command them back in Jesus' name.Command Satan to take his hands off your children.Lord, you know,if you've gotloved ones,who's saved and gone away from the Lord.Lord, pull on their heartstrings.But you've got to trust him that he'll...I nearly fell for you then.Could have been trouble, wouldn't it?You did that on purpose.Lord.We've got to trust God.If you've got a financial problem,trust God.Whatever it is,trust God if you've got illness in your body.I want to tell you, miracles, signs and the wonderscan break outany time.It could be during the last song.It could be when you leave.We've got to trust God that he iswho he says he is. Amen?Do you want to come up?God is exactly who he says he is. Amen?Do you want Godto move in your life?We ought to be saying yes.Do you want to be the person of Godthat he's called you to be? Yes.Do we want burden-removing, yoke-destroying powerto flow through us? Yes.So we have to unclog.Anything that's in us.Make the pipeways clear.Have a repenting heart.If you hold out against anybody,Lord, forgive them.It's you that's in bondage.I don't owe it.We've had people come and people leave.I've got nothing against them.They've helped us to get where we are.But I'm focused on you, who's here,now, to take us to a higher level.It's time for the miraculous power of Godto move in life.When a doctor says no,God says yes and amen.Not to his no, to his word.If you've got anything in your heart,it's time to get rid of it.Eyes closed.Very quickly, though.If you've not given your heart to the Lord,it's time to give it.If
you've got anything in your heartwhere you think,maybe that's separating me from the powerand the anointing of God.Maybe that is disturbing my life,making me to worry and fret.Maybe I've not even received my healingbecause there's something cloggingthe Holy Ghost in my life.Dump it.It's time to get sure.We need to cry,Holy Lord, you are Holy Lord.The angels are crying,Holy, Holy, Holy.I want to come to the throne room of graceand join in with the angels and cry,Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord,God Almighty.Yes, Lord, I'm believingfor a move of your spirit.I'm believing,Lord God, hallelujah,that you're going to refresheach and every one of us.I'm believing for an encounterthat will change my lifeforever and forever.I'm believing that I'll be in the right placeat the right timewith the right people,making right choices,doing right things.I believe it, Lord,because I surrender my willto your will, Lord.No longer I that's living in this world,but you, Lord Jesus, living in me.I want nothing of myself, Lord,but to glorify you, Father, in heaven.Holy Spirit,lead me and guide me,purify me,make me truly live the waythat you've planned for me to live.Forgive me, Lord, for taking so longto get to where I am now.Oh, quicken my spirit, Lord.Quicken my spirit, Lord.Speak to my heart right now.Show me the things I need to lay aside,not for self-gain, Lord.Let me be the stepping stonein another person's life.Yes, Lord, I want more of you,so that means you want more of me.Take that which I'm holding backand purify it through your wordand through the Holy Spirit.Holy Spirit, lead me and guide methrough the days, weeks, and monthsand throughout this year.Show me things that I need to be separated fromand me things I need to attach myself to.Let me be a person of your word.Let me be a person of the Spirit.Help me to pray efficientlyin the Holy Ghostin the natural.Take the focus of the world from meand let me focus on you.Holy Spirit, I'm asking you right now.Help me to move upon every
person hereand every person who's part of Life Changes Church Doncaster.Lord, some people have been battling for yearswith family issues,battling for years with health issues,battling for years financially,battling with mental health.But Lord, we give youthose heart problemsand we come to youopen-handed.We come to youand say thatthy will be done, Lord,according to the promises of your word.You say, Jesus was redeemed,redeemed us from the curse of the law.Be made a curse for us.For it's written,cursed is anyone that hangeth on the treethat the blessings of Abrahamcan come upon the Gentilesthrough Christ Jesus.Lord, we takewhat rightfully belongs to usfor we are children of God.We are the ambassadors.In our city.We are kings and priests.And as we decree a thing,the spiritual wickedness has to bow.That's been operatingin our city.And we are decreedand declaringthat this city is wide open for the taking.Souls are wide open for the taking.Theft, vandalism, break-ins.Have to bow its kneein this city.The spirit of fornication and adulteroushas to bow its kneein this city.The rulers that's been ruling over this cityhas to bow its kneein the name of Jesus.We commission angelsthroughout this cityand in the atmospherein Jesus' nameto open up to usan everlasting open gatein Jesus' name.We thank you that the spirit of Godis raining downupon each and every personin Life Changes Church, Doncaster.That we will make a differencewithin the circlesthat where we live.That we will be the lightand that we will shinein this city.That we will become a lighthouseas a warningto othersthat there's danger round about.And we will be the lifeboatto pull peopleout of the miry darknessinto the kingdom of light.And we'll be sure, Lord,to give you all the praiseand all the gloryforevermore, Lord.Be thou praisedin our life.Let the words we speak, Lord,be full of firethe Holy Ghost.In Jesus' name.
