(Theme Song) ? Jesus is worthy ?
00:00:00.73\00:00:11.63
? oh yes he's
worthy ? ? worthy of all ?
00:00:11.63\00:00:21.06
Powerwalking Because
scientists and medical
00:00:21.06\00:00:25.00
persons say it will keep the
heart beating but will be easy
00:00:25.00\00:00:28.60
on your joints when you hit
the ground with less than half
00:00:28.60\00:00:33.46
the force you do when you jog.
00:00:33.46\00:00:35.70
Powerwalking because thousands
of doctors recommend it
00:00:35.70\00:00:39.93
hundreds of studies affirm it
00:00:39.93\00:00:42.53
and millions of people do it.
00:00:42.53\00:00:48.10
Powerwalking.
00:00:48.10\00:00:49.36
It's simple, it's easy,
it's different from normal.
00:00:49.36\00:00:51.20
It's powerwalking.
00:00:51.20\00:00:53.16
God says to his people,
I want you to powerwalk.
00:00:53.16\00:00:58.50
You don't have to
run, you don't have to jog.
00:00:58.50\00:01:02.66
I want you to powerwalk.
00:01:02.66\00:01:03.96
That's how you're
going to fight this.
00:01:03.96\00:01:06.46
That's how Jericho's
walls are going to fall.
00:01:06.46\00:01:09.10
Powerwalking.
00:01:09.10\00:01:10.80
The Holy Ghost is going to
give you power in your steps,
00:01:10.80\00:01:14.86
and the walls of Jericho
are going to come tumbling down.
00:01:14.86\00:01:19.06
Now, on the surface
the thought of invading and
00:01:19.06\00:01:22.60
overtaking
Jericho seemed absurd.
00:01:22.60\00:01:27.66
That they were to overtake
Jericho without weapons was
00:01:27.66\00:01:31.90
even more crazy.
00:01:31.90\00:01:33.93
But sometimes I've learned
in life the things of God appear
00:01:33.93\00:01:39.26
strange to man.
00:01:39.26\00:01:41.50
But I've learned that it
doesn't make a difference what
00:01:41.50\00:01:44.36
it looks like, that whenever
God gives you a word, you
00:01:44.36\00:01:48.96
already have the victory.
00:01:48.96\00:01:51.40
Because if God said
it, that settles it.
00:01:51.40\00:01:55.96
God says, my ways are not your
ways, my thoughts are not your
00:01:55.96\00:02:00.43
thoughts.
00:02:00.43\00:02:02.00
God is not a God
that God should lie.
00:02:02.00\00:02:03.96
God is not the Son of
Man that God should repent.
00:02:03.96\00:02:07.10
If the Lord said it, you
can count on it, he will do just
00:02:07.10\00:02:11.23
what he says, and words shall
not return until him void, but
00:02:11.23\00:02:16.53
it will accomplish
what it set out to do.
00:02:16.53\00:02:20.66
God told the children
of Israel, I want you to
00:02:20.66\00:02:23.53
powerwalk.
00:02:23.53\00:02:26.63
Powerwalk.
00:02:26.63\00:02:28.63
Powerwalk around Jericho
for six days, one time each day.
00:02:28.63\00:02:33.80
He continues, God does,
with the plan in verse 4.
00:02:33.80\00:02:37.80
The Word says, "And seven
priests shall bear before the
00:02:37.80\00:02:43.70
ark seven trumpets of rams'
horns: and the seventh day ye
00:02:43.70\00:02:48.36
shall compass the city seven
times, and the priests shall
00:02:48.36\00:02:54.13
blow with the trumpets."
00:02:54.13\00:02:57.30
What is the Word saying?
00:02:57.30\00:02:58.26
On the first six
days, they were supposed to
00:02:58.26\00:03:02.53
powerwalk around
Jericho one time.
00:03:02.53\00:03:07.13
But the Bible says that on
the seventh day they were to
00:03:07.13\00:03:10.90
powerwalk around
Jericho's walls seven times.
00:03:10.90\00:03:15.66
Verse 5: "And it shall come
to pass, that when they make a
00:03:15.66\00:03:19.00
long blast with the ram's
horn, and when ye hear the
00:03:19.00\00:03:23.66
sound of the trumpet,
all the people shall shout,"
00:03:23.66\00:03:29.33
hallelujah, "with a great
shout; and the wall of the
00:03:29.33\00:03:32.53
city shall fall down flat,
and the people shall ascend up
00:03:32.53\00:03:37.03
every man straight before
him." Verse 6: "And Joshua,
00:03:37.03\00:03:41.40
the son of Nun, called the
priests and said until them,
00:03:41.40\00:03:43.90
take up the ark of the
covenant." Let me stop right
00:03:43.90\00:03:48.13
there.
00:03:48.13\00:03:49.26
Now, watch this.
00:03:49.26\00:03:49.96
In verses 4 and 5
God gives instructions.
00:03:49.96\00:03:53.40
In verse 6, Joshua does it.
00:03:53.40\00:03:56.10
In verses 4 and 5, God
tells Joshua what to do.
00:03:56.10\00:03:59.63
In verse 6, Joshua does it.
00:03:59.63\00:04:02.30
Joshua doesn't say, well,
Lord, you know that doesn't
00:04:02.30\00:04:04.86
make sense.
00:04:04.86\00:04:07.73
Joshua does not say,
well, Lord, that's illogical.
00:04:07.73\00:04:10.30
Can't I do it this way?
00:04:10.30\00:04:12.76
No, Joshua says,
I'm just going to do it.
00:04:12.76\00:04:16.50
Joshua does it.
00:04:16.50\00:04:17.70
Turn to your
neighbor and say, just do it.
00:04:17.70\00:04:19.43
Tell them, just do it.
00:04:19.43\00:04:20.23
You know why I'm
telling you just do it?
00:04:20.23\00:04:23.46
Because lesson number
four: While you're trying to
00:04:23.46\00:04:25.96
rationalize in your mind what
God is doing, and it may not
00:04:25.96\00:04:30.43
make sense to you, you ought
to just go ahead and do it,
00:04:30.43\00:04:34.76
because God knows
just what he's doing.
00:04:34.76\00:04:37.66
After all, God's been God
longer than you've been you.
00:04:37.66\00:04:41.26
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:04:41.26\00:04:44.33
Go back to verse 6.
00:04:44.33\00:04:46.16
"Joshua, the son of Nun,
called the priests and said
00:04:46.16\00:04:48.56
until them, take up
the ark of the covenant.
00:04:48.56\00:04:50.53
And let seven priests bear
seven trumpets of rams' horns
00:04:50.53\00:04:53.30
before the ark of the Lord."
00:04:53.30\00:04:54.46
Verse 7: And he said unto
the people, Pass on, and compass
00:04:54.46\00:04:56.46
the city, and let him that
is armed pass on before the ark
00:04:56.46\00:04:58.70
of the Lord." Verse 8: "And
it came to pass, when Joshua had
00:04:58.70\00:05:02.40
spoken unto the people, that
the seven priests bearing the
00:05:02.40\00:05:05.60
seven trumpets of rams' horns
passed on before the Lord, and
00:05:05.60\00:05:08.66
blew with the trumpets: and
the ark of the covenant of the
00:05:08.66\00:05:11.20
Lord followed them." Verse 9:
"And the armed men went before
00:05:11.20\00:05:14.63
the priests that blew with
the trumpets, and the rereward,"
00:05:14.63\00:05:17.80
or rear guard, "came after the
ark, the priests going on, and
00:05:17.80\00:05:21.30
blowing with the trumpets."
00:05:21.30\00:05:24.43
Joshua, take the ark of the
covenant, but before you send
00:05:24.43\00:05:28.90
out the ark of the covenant,
get seven priests, put them
00:05:28.90\00:05:33.33
before the ark, and let them
blow trumpets of rams' horns.
00:05:33.33\00:05:37.40
But before you send out the
priests to blow rams' horns,
00:05:37.40\00:05:41.23
send out some soldiers.
00:05:41.23\00:05:43.43
Send out some armed men to
go before the trumpet blowers.
00:05:43.43\00:05:47.30
God is saying, I
need some soldiers.
00:05:47.30\00:05:50.13
God says, go get me
some men who are not afraid.
00:05:50.13\00:05:53.63
Go get me some men who are
not scared, who are not afraid
00:05:53.63\00:05:57.40
before you.
00:05:57.40\00:05:58.40
God says, I
don't need any cowards.
00:05:58.40\00:06:01.36
God says, I need
some men who are strong.
00:06:01.36\00:06:03.73
God says, I need some men who
are not afraid to go into the
00:06:03.73\00:06:07.30
enemy's camp and look the
enemy dead in the eye and say,
00:06:07.30\00:06:10.96
in the name of Jesus I'm
here, and I'm not going anywhere
00:06:10.96\00:06:14.40
until I did what I came for.
00:06:14.40\00:06:18.46
Too many of us, we walk
around like Christian cowards.
00:06:18.46\00:06:22.73
Walk around defeated.
00:06:22.73\00:06:24.56
We're too afraid
to confront the enemy.
00:06:24.56\00:06:28.10
The devil is beating you
on every hand, doing this and
00:06:28.10\00:06:30.76
doing that.
00:06:30.76\00:06:32.23
But sometimes you've got to go
into the enemy's camp and say,
00:06:32.23\00:06:35.60
devil, I'm not going to
take another day of this.
00:06:35.60\00:06:40.00
Drawing a line in the sand.
00:06:40.00\00:06:42.16
I've had enough.
00:06:42.16\00:06:42.93
I'm here, and I'm here to stay.
00:06:42.93\00:06:44.96
I'm going to fight this fight.
00:06:44.96\00:06:47.20
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:06:47.20\00:06:48.96
Oh, yes, we need some men,
we need some women, we need some
00:06:48.96\00:06:54.33
boys and girls who
are armed and dangerous.
00:06:54.33\00:06:57.70
When you're a
spiritual person, your armed and
00:06:57.70\00:07:01.43
dangerous in the Holy Ghost.
00:07:01.43\00:07:02.90
In the spiritual realm,
when you're armed and dangerous,
00:07:02.90\00:07:06.00
nobody knows what to do to you
because nothing frightens you.
00:07:06.00\00:07:10.26
You all hear what I'm saying.
00:07:10.26\00:07:11.16
You have to let the devil
know, devil, I'm not afraid of
00:07:11.16\00:07:14.90
you.
00:07:14.90\00:07:15.86
I'm not afraid to let you know
that you're not going to take
00:07:15.86\00:07:19.40
my family.
00:07:19.40\00:07:21.16
Devil, you're not
going to take my finances.
00:07:21.16\00:07:23.33
Devil, you're not going
to have my health, you're not
00:07:23.33\00:07:25.36
going to have my life.
00:07:25.36\00:07:26.46
Why?
00:07:26.46\00:07:27.06
We are more than conquerors
through him that loved us.
00:07:27.06\00:07:31.16
We can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth us.
00:07:31.16\00:07:34.33
If God be for us,
who can be against us?
00:07:34.33\00:07:38.10
I don't have to wait until
the battle is over, I can shout
00:07:38.10\00:07:40.80
now, because verse 2 says that
God has already given me the
00:07:40.80\00:07:45.90
city.
00:07:45.90\00:07:48.00
Stop walking around with your
head down, afraid of what the
00:07:48.00\00:07:50.76
devil's going to do to you.
00:07:50.76\00:07:52.56
Don't you know you've got power?
00:07:52.56\00:07:54.26
You're a powerwalker.
00:07:54.26\00:07:57.03
Go out and blow your trumpets.
00:07:57.03\00:07:58.80
Blow your horn.
00:07:58.80\00:08:00.53
The Bible says there were
seven trumpets, seven priests
00:08:00.53\00:08:04.33
blowing rams' horns.
00:08:04.33\00:08:05.70
So by blowing the trumpet
it was an act of worship.
00:08:05.70\00:08:10.13
It was creating an
atmosphere of the supernatural.
00:08:10.13\00:08:14.30
Next lesson: God
moves when we worship.
00:08:14.30\00:08:19.20
I said God
moves when we worship.
00:08:19.20\00:08:24.70
When we worship God, though,
we must worship God in spirit
00:08:24.70\00:08:28.36
and in truth.
00:08:28.36\00:08:31.43
Because God speaks to us
through his Word in worship.
00:08:31.43\00:08:37.20
And when you worship
God, hallelujah, somebody, you
00:08:37.20\00:08:40.53
create an atmosphere where you
stop looking at people and you
00:08:40.53\00:08:45.56
start focusing on God, and
God begins to speak to you.
00:08:45.56\00:08:52.06
Somebody is a witness in this
place today, that God starts
00:08:52.06\00:08:57.86
showing you stuff he
doesn't show everybody else.
00:08:57.86\00:09:00.56
He starts saying things to
you he doesn't say to everybody
00:09:00.56\00:09:03.53
else.
00:09:03.53\00:09:04.66
In worship the
Word of God comes alive.
00:09:04.66\00:09:08.83
Let me be clear.
00:09:08.83\00:09:10.66
I love to sing, I love to sing
the hymns, the anthems, some
00:09:10.66\00:09:13.90
gospel.
00:09:13.90\00:09:14.60
I love to sing.
00:09:14.60\00:09:15.26
But it's nothing
like the Word of God.
00:09:15.26\00:09:18.53
The Word of God comes
alive and speaks to our souls.
00:09:18.53\00:09:21.56
Thy Word have I hid in my
heart, that I might not sin
00:09:21.56\00:09:25.53
against thee.
00:09:25.53\00:09:26.66
Thy Word is a lamp unto my
feet and a light unto my path.
00:09:26.66\00:09:30.30
Thy Word is sharper than
any two-edged sword, profitable
00:09:30.30\00:09:33.80
for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in
00:09:33.80\00:09:37.56
righteousness.
00:09:37.56\00:09:38.30
I don't know about you, but
I need a Word from the Lord.
00:09:38.30\00:09:41.30
I come to church to
get a Word from the Lord.
00:09:41.30\00:09:50.93
In our cultural tradition,
there used to be a time when
00:09:50.93\00:09:54.36
we used to come to
church to shout only.
00:09:54.36\00:09:57.36
After a long hard week, you
just came to church to shout
00:09:57.36\00:10:00.13
and say Amen.
00:10:00.13\00:10:02.43
There used to be a time when
we came to church and all we
00:10:02.43\00:10:04.63
waited on was the
preacher to say hallelujah.
00:10:04.63\00:10:06.63
And then we'd shout
back, thank you, Jesus.
00:10:06.63\00:10:09.70
But you see, now we're not
dealing with the same stuff
00:10:09.70\00:10:13.33
that our foreparents
dealt with back in the day.
00:10:13.33\00:10:17.43
We're dealing with
some tough stuff now.
00:10:17.43\00:10:20.63
Our children go to school
every day dealing with some
00:10:20.63\00:10:23.66
tough stuff.
00:10:23.66\00:10:24.83
You've got to let the devil
know, in the times in which we
00:10:24.83\00:10:27.86
live, devil, I'm
not playing with you.
00:10:27.86\00:10:30.30
Devil, I need a
Word from the Lord.
00:10:30.30\00:10:34.23
And when you get the Word,
God will open up the windows of
00:10:34.23\00:10:37.70
heaven, pour you out a
blessing that there shall not
00:10:37.70\00:10:41.00
be room enough to receive it.
00:10:41.00\00:10:42.33
The Bible says that they were
to walk around the city every
00:10:42.33\00:10:47.33
day, six days, one time.
00:10:47.33\00:10:51.93
Six is the number for man.
00:10:51.93\00:10:56.63
God made man on the sixth day.
00:10:56.63\00:11:00.90
When you die, they're going
to bury you six feet under.
00:11:00.90\00:11:05.26
I pray that some of you last
night didn't enjoy a six-pack.
00:11:05.26\00:11:10.10
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:11:10.10\00:11:11.90
Because six is the
number of man for man.
00:11:11.90\00:11:16.96
But understand, six is man's
number, but God has another
00:11:16.96\00:11:24.13
number.
00:11:24.13\00:11:25.06
Go to verse 15.
00:11:25.06\00:11:26.93
Joshua 6:15 says, "And it
came to pass on the seventh day,
00:11:26.93\00:11:34.90
that they rose," hallelujah,
"early about the dawning of
00:11:34.90\00:11:39.86
the day, and compassed
the city." The same way you've
00:11:39.86\00:11:45.26
been doing it, but
this time seven times.
00:11:45.26\00:11:47.80
Because "only on that day they
compassed the city for seven
00:11:47.80\00:11:51.73
times." Verse 16: "And it came
to pass at the seventh time,
00:11:51.73\00:11:57.76
when the priests blew with the
trumpets, Joshua said unto the
00:11:57.76\00:12:03.93
people, Shout; for the Lord
hath given you the city." Now,
00:12:03.93\00:12:13.43
I want you to see something.
00:12:13.43\00:12:14.60
Remember back in verse 5, B
portion, we were told that the
00:12:14.60\00:12:18.00
people were to
shout with a great shout.
00:12:18.00\00:12:21.83
Verse 16 says, "Shout on
the seventh day." Seven is God's
00:12:21.83\00:12:26.80
number.
00:12:26.80\00:12:27.53
"For the Lord has given
the city." Number seven, God's
00:12:27.53\00:12:32.93
number, signifies completion.
00:12:32.93\00:12:36.40
It signifies perfection.
00:12:36.40\00:12:39.56
God created the world in
six literal days, but rested on
00:12:39.56\00:12:45.03
day seven.
00:12:45.03\00:12:46.46
Israel observed the feast
of Passover for seven days.
00:12:46.46\00:12:51.33
Elisha ordered Naaman to go
dip in the Jordan seven times.
00:12:51.33\00:12:56.46
Seven steps led to the
entrance to Solomon's temple.
00:12:56.46\00:13:00.86
The genealogy of Jesus as
recorded in Matthew, chapter
00:13:00.86\00:13:05.60
1, goes back 42 generations,
which is six times seven.
00:13:05.60\00:13:10.73
Before Jesus died on Calvary,
he uttered seven last words.
00:13:10.73\00:13:15.30
The Bible mentions
seven churches in Revelation.
00:13:15.30\00:13:18.86
Seven seals in Revelation.
00:13:18.86\00:13:21.23
At the time of Jesus' second
coming, seven angels are going
00:13:21.23\00:13:25.03
to sound seven trumpets.
00:13:25.03\00:13:26.90
The children of Israel had
to go around Jericho seven times
00:13:26.90\00:13:32.66
on day seven, and they
were supposed to shout.
00:13:32.66\00:13:37.30
Now, we've heard this story
before, but there's something
00:13:37.30\00:13:40.83
significant about the shout.
00:13:40.83\00:13:43.36
Because whenever they would
go in battle, they would shout
00:13:43.36\00:13:48.06
when they got ready
to charge the enemy.
00:13:48.06\00:13:51.06
They would say Ah!
00:13:51.06\00:13:53.23
And I know I'm scaring
somebody and making somebody
00:13:53.23\00:13:55.06
uncomfortable, but shouting
is a byproduct of confidence.
00:13:55.06\00:14:00.16
My daddy taught me when I
was a little boy, if somebody
00:14:00.16\00:14:03.56
comes up to you like they're
going to beat you up, even if
00:14:03.56\00:14:06.83
you can't fight, just shout,
and that will scare them and
00:14:06.83\00:14:09.90
make them run away.
00:14:09.90\00:14:13.16
All that is within me
comes forth in the shout.
00:14:13.16\00:14:18.40
Why are the people
of God told to shout?
00:14:18.40\00:14:21.83
Because in verse 2 the Bible
says that they've already been
00:14:21.83\00:14:25.36
given the city.
00:14:25.36\00:14:26.40
In verse 16, the Bible says,
"It shall come to pass on the
00:14:26.40\00:14:30.66
seventh time, when the priests
blow their trumpets," you're
00:14:30.66\00:14:34.30
supposed to shout.
00:14:34.30\00:14:37.43
But let me tell you
something, and let me be clear.
00:14:37.43\00:14:39.80
Next lesson,
probably final lesson.
00:14:39.80\00:14:42.16
You cannot measure the
authenticity of a person's
00:14:42.16\00:14:45.56
relationship with
God based on a shout.
00:14:45.56\00:14:49.96
Because everybody
who's shouting is not real.
00:14:49.96\00:14:55.10
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:14:55.10\00:14:57.63
Some of this stuff we see is
rehearsed, some of it is fake
00:14:57.63\00:15:02.03
and phony, and then,
bottom line, there's just some
00:15:02.03\00:15:05.96
shouting that's not of God.
00:15:05.96\00:15:07.23
Now, Pastor Byrd is not saying
that shouting is wrong, nor am
00:15:07.23\00:15:12.46
I here to judge the
authenticity of a shout.
00:15:12.46\00:15:15.46
Because in just a moment
somebody just might shout.
00:15:15.46\00:15:18.96
But the Holy Ghost is not
going to have you running over
00:15:18.96\00:15:22.56
pews, running under pews,
running through pews, all your
00:15:22.56\00:15:27.23
stuff hanging out
while you're shouting.
00:15:27.23\00:15:29.76
The Holy Ghost is not
going to have you hurt yourself.
00:15:29.76\00:15:33.13
The Holy Ghost is intelligent.
00:15:33.13\00:15:36.06
I wish I had time, folk
hitting you all in the head,
00:15:36.06\00:15:38.96
hallelujah, giving you a
black eye, folk walking around
00:15:38.96\00:15:41.60
afterward with a broken
arm and crutches on one leg.
00:15:41.60\00:15:45.03
I was in the Spirit.
00:15:45.03\00:15:46.06
You weren't in the Spirit.
00:15:46.06\00:15:47.33
You were in a spirit, but not
the Holy Spirit, because it's
00:15:47.33\00:15:50.46
not how high you jump when
you shout, but how straight you
00:15:50.46\00:15:53.86
walk when you come back down.
00:15:53.86\00:15:56.93
So Joshua says, Tell them
to shout with a great shout on
00:15:56.93\00:16:05.53
the seventh time.
00:16:05.53\00:16:07.03
This is true praise.
00:16:07.03\00:16:09.43
It is something
that is within me.
00:16:09.43\00:16:11.06
So much Word, so much
confidence, that I'm not
00:16:11.06\00:16:13.33
concerned about what somebody
says, what somebody does or
00:16:13.33\00:16:15.53
how somebody looks at me.
00:16:15.53\00:16:18.96
There was a time in my life,
and all of us go through this
00:16:18.96\00:16:22.36
in our lives at some time,
when you basically praise God
00:16:22.36\00:16:25.83
like your family did.
00:16:25.83\00:16:28.76
You watch children.
00:16:28.76\00:16:30.83
They praise God
just like their family.
00:16:30.83\00:16:33.46
Children respond to the
church just like their family.
00:16:33.46\00:16:37.43
If your family
doesn't clap, you don't clap.
00:16:37.43\00:16:40.50
If your family doesn't say
Amen, you probably don't say
00:16:40.50\00:16:42.93
Amen.
00:16:42.93\00:16:44.06
If your family doesn't lift
holy hands, you don't do it,
00:16:44.06\00:16:47.00
because you
weren't raised that way.
00:16:47.00\00:16:51.20
But when you begin to grow
for yourself, and when you begin
00:16:51.20\00:16:56.80
to grow in the B-i-b-l-e,
yes, that's the book for me, I
00:16:56.80\00:17:00.83
stand alone on the
Word of God, the B-i-b-l-e.
00:17:00.83\00:17:04.60
And you got away, and you
begin dealing with you, and
00:17:04.60\00:17:09.46
you have been through some
things for yourself, and you
00:17:09.46\00:17:12.86
stop piggybacking off somebody
else's testimony, and you knew
00:17:12.86\00:17:17.36
what it was like to be sick
yourself, you knew what it was
00:17:17.36\00:17:21.26
like to be broke yourself,
you knew what it was like to get
00:17:21.26\00:17:25.16
your feelings hurt yourself,
you knew what it was like to
00:17:25.16\00:17:28.00
almost lose your mind
yourself, you knew what it was
00:17:28.00\00:17:30.56
like to be on the
borderline of suicide yourself.
00:17:30.56\00:17:34.36
But then you saw how God
brought you out, when you
00:17:34.36\00:17:40.06
began to praise him.
00:17:40.06\00:17:41.26
It's not about
Mama's praise anymore.
00:17:41.26\00:17:43.83
It's not about
Daddy's praise anymore.
00:17:43.83\00:17:46.96
It's not about Pastor
Byrd's praise anymore.
00:17:46.96\00:17:49.10
It's not about the
praise team's praise anymore.
00:17:49.10\00:17:51.56
But it's all about you and
all about Jesus, and everything
00:17:51.56\00:17:56.33
within you begins to open
up and you forget who's sitting
00:17:56.33\00:18:00.20
next to you.
00:18:00.20\00:18:03.06
And you begin to open up your
mouth, and you begin to give
00:18:03.06\00:18:06.40
God a radical praise.
00:18:06.40\00:18:08.16
Because when the praises
of God are going up, somebody
00:18:08.16\00:18:13.06
knows the blessings come down.
00:18:13.06\00:18:14.50
Now, you've got two
choices, and I'm going to
00:18:14.50\00:18:19.63
take my seat.
00:18:19.63\00:18:21.66
You can either
pout or you can shout.
00:18:21.66\00:18:27.70
You can either
pout or you can shout.
00:18:27.70\00:18:35.20
And I've made up my mind
that I'm not going to have the
00:18:35.20\00:18:39.10
devil discourage me anymore.
00:18:39.10\00:18:41.46
Walk around with my head down.
00:18:41.46\00:18:43.56
Walking around
with a pity party.
00:18:43.56\00:18:45.73
No, I'm getting
ready to powerwalk.
00:18:45.73\00:18:47.20
Anybody know what
I'm talking about?
00:18:47.20\00:18:48.50
Devil, you thought you had me.
00:18:48.50\00:18:51.20
But when I think of the
goodness of Jesus and all he's
00:18:51.20\00:18:54.96
done for me, my soul
cries out, hallelujah.
00:18:54.96\00:19:02.50
Thank God for saving me.
00:19:02.50\00:19:03.30
So I'm going to
shout right there.
00:19:03.30\00:19:08.30
You've got to learn to open
up your mouth sometimes and say
00:19:08.30\00:19:10.33
Ahhh.
00:19:10.33\00:19:12.33
The Bible says, "Make a joyful
noise unto the Lord, all ye
00:19:12.33\00:19:14.70
lands.
00:19:14.70\00:19:15.60
Serve the Lord with gladness."
00:19:15.60\00:19:17.10
I know sometimes you can't
find the words, but sometimes
00:19:17.10\00:19:19.76
you've got to just open
up your mouth and say, Ahhh.
00:19:19.76\00:19:23.53
I know there's a wall in
your way sometimes, an economic
00:19:23.53\00:19:33.06
wall, a health wall, a
spiritual wall, a family wall
00:19:33.06\00:19:38.60
sometimes.
00:19:38.60\00:19:39.16
But sometimes you've got
to say to that wall, Ahhh.
00:19:39.16\00:19:41.70
Because we're getting ready
to go into the enemy's camp.
00:19:41.70\00:19:47.26
And God's going to take
everything back that the devil
00:19:47.26\00:19:50.40
stole.
00:19:50.40\00:19:51.43
And I know you've
been talked about.
00:19:51.43\00:19:54.96
I know you've been criticized.
00:19:54.96\00:19:57.40
I know you've
gotten your feelings hurt.
00:19:57.40\00:20:00.16
But we're getting
ready to confuse the enemy.
00:20:00.16\00:20:02.86
Somebody's
getting ready to shout.
00:20:02.86\00:20:05.33
I know you can't tell by
looking at me, you can't tell
00:20:05.33\00:20:08.40
what I've been through, but
if you only knew what I've been
00:20:08.40\00:20:11.43
through, you'd understand
why I praise him like I do.
00:20:11.43\00:20:14.46
You'd understand
why I shout like I do.
00:20:14.46\00:20:17.06
You'd understand why I
lift my hands like I do.
00:20:17.06\00:20:20.16
I almost lost my
mind, but I'm here.
00:20:20.16\00:20:23.73
Somebody should have been
strung out, but you're here.
00:20:23.73\00:20:25.86
Somebody should have been
homeless, but you're here.
00:20:25.86\00:20:28.83
You should have been in
an institution somewhere, but
00:20:28.83\00:20:32.43
you're here.
00:20:32.43\00:20:33.76
And you've got a testimony.
00:20:33.76\00:20:34.80
I'm getting ready to powerwalk.
00:20:34.80\00:20:38.70
I'm a powerwalker.
00:20:38.70\00:20:41.00
I'm walking and talking
with my mind stayed on Jesus.
00:20:41.00\00:20:45.20
I'm a powerwalker.
00:20:45.20\00:20:46.83
He woke me up this
morning, started me on my way.
00:20:46.83\00:20:50.86
Put food on my
table, clothing on my back.
00:20:50.86\00:20:53.36
I'm a powerwalker.
00:20:53.36\00:20:58.26
And one day I'm going to
walk on up in God's kingdom.
00:20:58.26\00:21:01.60
I'm going to put on my
long white robe, 'cause I'm a
00:21:01.60\00:21:03.96
powerwalker.
00:21:03.96\00:21:05.40
I'm going to sing and
never get tired, 'cause I'm a
00:21:05.40\00:21:07.50
powerwalker.
00:21:07.50\00:21:08.90
I'm going to eat grits
with Jesus 'cause I'm a
00:21:08.90\00:21:11.16
powerwalker.
00:21:11.16\00:21:12.46
I'm going to sing and
never get tired, because I'm a
00:21:12.46\00:21:15.30
powerwalker.
00:21:15.30\00:21:16.10
"Let not your heart be
trouble; ye believe in God,
00:21:16.10\00:21:18.90
believe also in me.
00:21:18.90\00:21:20.13
In my Father's
house are many mansions.
00:21:20.13\00:21:29.86
If it were not so I
would have told you.
00:21:29.86\00:21:32.00
I go and prepare a place for
you, and if I go and prepare a
00:21:32.00\00:21:34.76
place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto
00:21:34.76\00:21:39.96
myself, that where I am,
there ye may be also." I'm a
00:21:39.96\00:21:49.00
powerwalker.
00:21:49.00\00:21:53.06
Notice in the text, God didn't
need sticks and stones, bows,
00:21:53.06\00:21:57.76
arrows, guns or ammunition.
00:21:57.76\00:22:01.06
All God needed was a
preacher and a praise team.
00:22:01.06\00:22:05.80
You all hear what I'm saying?
00:22:05.80\00:22:07.10
That's all.
00:22:07.10\00:22:08.53
That's all he needed.
00:22:08.53\00:22:10.23
And if I can just say a word,
if you can just say a word,
00:22:10.23\00:22:22.43
speak life over your
situation, speak the Word of
00:22:22.43\00:22:26.06
God in your life, if you
can just say a word for the Lord
00:22:26.06\00:22:30.30
and then begin to powerwalk.
00:22:30.30\00:22:31.66
Pastor, I don't know
how I'm going to make it.
00:22:31.66\00:22:34.20
Just powerwalk.
00:22:34.20\00:22:35.06
When you powerwalk, you walk
by faith, and not by sights.
00:22:35.06\00:22:43.16
I'm a powerwalker.
00:22:43.16\00:22:45.20
Some of you think
you're powerwalking, you're
00:22:45.20\00:22:46.53
powerwalking to lose weight.
00:22:46.53\00:22:48.33
No, powerwalking, God is
increasing somebody's faith.
00:22:48.33\00:22:51.16
Father God, today you've
already given us the city.
00:22:51.16\00:23:05.73
You've already
given us the city.
00:23:05.73\00:23:09.40
The New
Jerusalem's already ours.
00:23:09.40\00:23:13.46
All we have to do is powerwalk.
00:23:13.46\00:23:17.30
Walk in your Word, walk
in your truth, and walk in
00:23:17.30\00:23:20.83
obedience.
00:23:20.83\00:23:22.70
God, we've study your
Word about the second coming.
00:23:22.70\00:23:30.30
We've study your
Word about the millennium.
00:23:30.30\00:23:33.80
We've studied your Word
about the state of the dead.
00:23:33.80\00:23:35.80
We've studied your
Word about the Sabbath.
00:23:35.80\00:23:38.66
God, now it's time
for us to powerwalk.
00:23:38.66\00:23:45.20
To walk in confidence.
00:23:45.20\00:23:47.46
Walk in obedience.
00:23:47.46\00:23:50.83
Walk for the right,
though the heavens fall.
00:23:50.83\00:23:55.00
It's time for us to powerwalk.
00:23:55.00\00:24:00.20
And God, we believe, and we
claim that when we powerwalk
00:24:00.20\00:24:04.83
in the name of Jesus that
walls will come tumbling down.
00:24:04.83\00:24:10.06
The difficulties in our
lives will come down when we
00:24:10.06\00:24:12.83
powerwalk in the name of Jesus.
00:24:12.83\00:24:16.46
So God, move, move, because
there is a man, there's a
00:24:16.46\00:24:20.66
woman, there's a boy and there
is a girl today who needs to
00:24:20.66\00:24:23.56
powerwalk to the front.
00:24:23.56\00:24:26.70
And when they powerwalk to
the front they need to give me
00:24:26.70\00:24:29.16
their hand, but give you,
Lord Jesus, their heart today.
00:24:29.16\00:24:32.86
There's somebody who
today in faith needs to have the
00:24:32.86\00:24:35.53
courage to get out of that
seat and powerwalk and give
00:24:35.53\00:24:38.93
their life to you.
00:24:38.93\00:24:41.36
So Lord, send your
Holy Ghost right now.
00:24:41.36\00:24:45.50
Send your Holy
Spirit in a mighty way.
00:24:45.50\00:24:50.03
May they move at your
voice, at your spirit.
00:24:50.03\00:24:53.53
Forgive me of my sins,
because, God, we want this
00:24:53.53\00:24:55.86
prayer to get through to you.
00:24:55.86\00:24:56.63
So move, Lord, I pray.
00:24:56.63\00:24:58.36
If we have to walk around
the city seven times, Lord,
00:24:58.36\00:25:01.30
whatever you do, any way you
bless us, we'll be satisfied.
00:25:01.30\00:25:03.90
We're powerwalkers.
00:25:03.90\00:25:07.96
God, we can shout now for the
victory because, Lord, we can
00:25:07.96\00:25:12.10
shout for the victory
recognizing you've already
00:25:12.10\00:25:14.10
given us the city.
00:25:14.10\00:25:16.30
The Holy City is ours.
00:25:16.30\00:25:18.73
The New Jerusalem is ours.
00:25:18.73\00:25:19.70
You've given it to us already.
00:25:19.70\00:25:24.26
So Lord, move.
00:25:24.26\00:25:24.90
It's in Jesus' name I
ask these things, σσσσ.
00:25:24.90\00:25:32.23
Let everyone say Amen.
00:25:32.23\00:25:33.50

>: We'd all like to live
healthier lives, but doing so
00:26:33.23\00:26:36.76
and maintaining it
aren't always so easy.
00:26:36.76\00:26:39.53
It's hard when the foods we
love are also the foods that
00:26:39.53\00:26:42.53
can hurt us the most, and when
it's easier to watch TV than
00:26:42.53\00:26:44.80
it is to exercise.
00:26:44.80\00:26:46.60
What we need are
straight answers and some
00:26:46.60\00:26:49.06
encouragement.
00:26:49.06\00:26:50.10

(Music) PB: Don't
you know, you got power?
00:28:04.63\00:28:08.96
You're a power walker.
00:28:08.96\00:28:11.33
I come to church to
get a word from the Lord.
00:28:11.33\00:28:18.83
Because it's not how
high you jump when you shout,
00:28:18.83\00:28:25.80
It's how straight you
walk, when you come back down.
