(167) “Just Say, ‘Yes!’” with Pastor Larry Mauriello

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,200
people go, how do you move in the supernatural?

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,200
How did you, for 30 years, be on staff with Pastor Benny?

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,800
The story is you say yes to the Lord continually.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,520
It's all about surrender.

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,600
Yes.

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,140
You say yes.

7
00:00:17,140 --> 00:00:22,140
Listen, hear, and keep saying yes, yes, Lord.

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,000
God promises in Joel 2, 28

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,080
to pour out His Spirit on all humanity.

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,880
Welcome to Global Outpouring,

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,560
where we contend for that promise outpouring,

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,880
and we equip for that outpouring

15
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,200
so that we may engage in that very outpouring.

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,320
I'm Philip Bus.

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,720

Pastor Larry Moriello.

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,880
He has an amazing history of walking in

22
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,840
the Book of Acts kind of activity

23
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,120
that is what the Lord is wanting to do in these days.

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,360
And he's going to share with us some amazing stories

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,560
of things that he has seen that you can expect to walk in,

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,360
because this is the time for that.

Thank you so much for being with us today, Pastor Larry.

43
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,400
This is a really great opportunity.

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,920
We've come here, we're actually in your office in Fort Worth,

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,760
and we came here to buy shofars from Holy Land Gifts,

46
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,240
where you are working right now.

47
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720
But the place that we met you in the first place

48
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,280
was when you were the staff pastor for Pastor Benny Hinn.

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,080
Tell us, how did that even happen?

50
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,680
How did you get that job?

51
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Yeah, miraculously.

52
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,880
It's quite an amazing tale,

53
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,120
but it begins, I think, with the prayer of my heart

54
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,320
when I was an associate pastor

55
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,960
in upstate New York in Schenectady, matter of fact.

56
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,680
I would often say from the pulpit

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,920
that I wanted our church to be like the Book of Acts.

58
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:46,600
You know, I believed when we read the Book of Acts,

59
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,120
it should read like what we're experiencing on a daily walk

60
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,600
is normal Christianity.

61
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,440
Yes.

62
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,080
And I would say things like,

63
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,600
I believe the church that Jesus will return to

64
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,840
needs to be very much like the church that was left behind,

65
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,280
that the first century church,

66
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,360
what happened there and how they walked and what happened,

67
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,920
should be like the church that Jesus came back.

68
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:15,840
So we wanna be like the first century church,

69
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,400
to walk in the supernatural,

70
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,120
to have that be normal Christianity,

71
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,880
to see things like they saw

72
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,680
and like we read in the Book of Acts

73
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,600
happening on a regular basis.

74
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,440
Amen.

75
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,080
And I believed that, I wanted that, I hoped for that,

76
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,200
I prayed for that, and one day, lo and behold,

77
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,360
the story's a lot longer, but the short version is

78
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,240
my children wanted to go see a Benny Hinn crusade,

79
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,520
and I had known him because years earlier

80
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,640
when he was first in ministry,

81
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,640
we had hosted Benny Hinn Healing Service in our school,

82
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,520
in our church that I was part of,

83
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,040
and I was the host pastor for that and helped do that,

84
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,120
and he came back for years until his first child was born,

85
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,320
and then I lost touch with him.

86
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,560
But my kids started watching TV and saw,

87
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,480
this is your day for a miracle,

88
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,920
and the crusades that Benny Hinn was holding,

89
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,720
and they, on vacation, wanted to go to one of those.

90
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,560
Wow.

91
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,840
So we were traveling in an RV and worked out

92
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:25,840
that we would be at Lansing, Michigan in July 29th

93
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,120
because he was having a crusade there,

94
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,800
and we thought we'll go to that as the last stop.

95
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,640
And at that crusade, the Lord spoke to me and said,

96
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,040
I'm calling you to this man's ministry,

97
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,680
and I'm transferring your mantle,

98
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,800
actually is what, I had a visitation,

99
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,560
I'm transferring your mantle to this man's ministry.

100
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,680
Wow. Wow.

101
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,640
I got on my knees and I said, yes, Lord.

102
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,960
And Pastor Benny came out to begin the service,

103
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,960
and he always has worship, and the worship is going on,

104
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,600
and I'm standing in worship,

105
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,920
and I'm in a whole nother zone, you know,

106
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,520
because the Lord had just spoke to me

107
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,680
and had a visitation, an open vision, you know, if you will.

108
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,440
And suddenly, with my eyes closed, my hands up,

109
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,360
worshiping, I hear Pastor Benny's voice say,

110
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,760
young man, who are you?

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,640
And I'm thinking, I wonder who he's talking to.

112
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,080
Maybe I should open my eyes to see this,

113
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,920
but I was really deep in worship and didn't want to,

114
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,840
and then I heard, young man, you know,

115
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:32,040
and I had a blue shirt on, young man,

116
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,160
you in the blue shirt, right there, right there,

117
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,000
who are you?

118
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,720
And I opened my eyes, and he's pointing to me.

119
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,960
And so now we're making eye contact.

120
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,160
I'm about in the fifth or sixth row,

121
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,080
and he says, who are you?

122
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,080
The Lord just spoke to me to hire you.

123
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,640
And I said, I know.

124
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,640
And he goes, what did he say?

125
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,840
And the usher yells, he said he knows, you know?

126
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,280
And so he goes, bring him up here.

127
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:06,720
And so if you've ever been to a Benny Hinn crusade,

128
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,280
you know, the ushers just grab you,

129
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,040
your feet don't have to touch the ground.

130
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,360
It doesn't, you know, you're going up.

131
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,600
And then he says, bring his family up.

132
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,160
And next thing you know, we're all on the platform,

133
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,760
and he says, who are you, who are you?

134
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,080
And then we had a recognizing moment, you know,

135
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,440
where you recognized, wait, I know you.

136
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,080
Said, well, you used to come to my church in the 80s.

137
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,680
And you know, when you first, he goes, that's it, that's it.

138
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,000
God just told me to hire you.

139
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,440
And so he had 18,000 people stop

140
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,080
and lift their hands towards our family and pray for us.

141
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:43,920
Wow.

142
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,280
That we would come on staff and move to Florida.

143
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:48,120
Wow.

144
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,200
That's just, that's God.

145
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,040
What an amazing story.

146
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,520
And so the key is to say yes.

147
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,040
People go, how do you move in the supernatural?

148
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,640
You know, how did you, for 30 years,

149
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,440
be on staff with Pastor Benny?

150
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,320
What's the story is you say yes to the Lord continually.

151
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,080
It's all about surrender.

152
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:08,920
Yes.

153
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,920
It's you say yes, listen, hear, and keep saying yes.

154
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,760
Yes, Lord.

155
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,600
It's true.

156
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,440
Yes, Lord.

157
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,160
So we had a 5,000 square foot home.

158
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,920
We had thought I was gonna retire in the position I had.

159
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,000
And it was our dream house, really.

160
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,960
It was Garrison Colonial.

161
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,240
Everything was colonial.

162
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,760
Nothing would work in Florida.

163
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,280
You know, colonial furniture doesn't work in Florida.

164
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,280
And we moved to Florida in like two weeks.

165
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:41,800
Wow.

166
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,600
We put, we had like an estate sale,

167
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,760
put everything out on the front yard.

168
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:47,640
Oh my.

169
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,720
People drove by.

170
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,640
It's the middle of July.

171
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,880
And they were, they bought snowblowers in July.

172
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,000
Oh wow.

173
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,840
We had a freezer filled with food.

174
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,560
We were on one of those freezer plans

175
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,760
and it was filled with food.

176
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,400
We were like, what are we gonna do with this?

177
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,200
And a guy walks up and he says,

178
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,200
you wanna sell that freezer?

179
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,480
I go, well, you know, it's kind of filled with food.

180
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,240
We were kind of thinking maybe we'd try to bring it to,

181
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,880
I'm like, sure, I wanna sell that freezer.

182
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,520
But he goes, I'll buy all the food in the freezer.

183
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,440
And he did.

184
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,720
Wow.

185
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,880
We, people walked in and bought,

186
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,080
not just like, let me buy your couch.

187
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,320
They were like, oh, I love this whole room.

188
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,440
I'll take everything, the decorations, the furniture.

189
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,600
Wow.

190
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,120
The knickknacks.

191
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:32,960
Wow.

192
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,840
That doesn't happen normally.

193
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:36,680
No.

194
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:39,480
But you know, I think for us who really walk with the Lord

195
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,120
and if you say yes,

196
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,480
you can expect that kind of thing to happen.

197
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,320
Yes.

198
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,720
I remember one couple came in and the husband said,

199
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,800
I don't even like Colonial.

200
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,320
Why are we here?

201
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,240
And his wife said, well,

202
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,520
let's go up and look at the bedroom.

203
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,520
And he came down and he said,

204
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,520
we want everything in the bedroom set.

205
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,400
We'll take the dressers, the mirrors, the bed.

206
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,480
Wow.

207
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,960
And he loved it.

208
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,080
That's supernatural.

209
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,600
It is.

210
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,120
I wasn't a car salesman trying to negotiate.

211
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,040
People were just coming in and I was saying, yes.

212
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,200
Wow.

213
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,440
We packed everything else in a little U-Haul trailer

214
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,600
and towed it behind the same motor home

215
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,520
we drove to the crusade in.

216
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,440
And we landed in Florida.

217
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,600
That's remarkable.

218
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,960
30 years later, I retired from that position.

219
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,800
Wow.

220
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,160
After having been blessed to travel all over

221
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,880
with Pastor Benny and also to be in a church

222
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:45,000
and principal of a school and to make amazing friends

223
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,440
and deep fellowship and great community,

224
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,440
but also to see with my eyes what I read previously

225
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,080
in the book of Acts I experienced.

226
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:55,920
Yeah.

227
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,760
Eyes open, death ears open, the lame walking.

228
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,040
I can't say we fed 5,000 people with a few fish

229
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,320
and loaves of bread, but they were given the bread of life

230
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,440
through the ministry of the Holy Spirit

231
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,680
and Pastor Benny.

232
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:12,520
Millions, yes.

233
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:13,920
Millions.

234
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,600
I'll never forget the altar calls.

235
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,440
Yeah.

236
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,360
I can just saying that, I can go back in my memory

237
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,480
as replaying the videos in my mind of that

238
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,680
and watching people run to the altar.

239
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:33,040
I mean run, knocking over chairs,

240
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,840
whatever they needed to do to get to that altar,

241
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,240
they were gonna do it.

242
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,640
It's like a riot to get to the altar.

243
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,040
To receive the life of Jesus Christ in their life,

244
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,200
to receive that gift of redemption,

245
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,680
to renew and restore their connection

246
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,840
with their heavenly father who's always been waiting

247
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,760
with his arms open.

248
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,760
And they would come, we would say to the cross

249
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,440
and they would come to the feet of Jesus.

250
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,400
They would repent and receive that and change of life.

251
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,120
I saw bodies changed, marriages healed,

252
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,840
families restored, teenagers back in fellowship

253
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,600
with their parents because of the work of the Holy Spirit

254
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,280
at the altars and the altar calls

255
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,560
of the crusades across America.

256
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,280
Getting to be one of the pastors on staff

257
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,760
and a pastor who often got to answer phones

258
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,840
or stay after and talk with people

259
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,360
while everybody else was doing something.

260
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,400
I got to hear many of the stories

261
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,720
that not everybody got to hear.

262
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,600
And I felt just so fortunate and so blessed.

263
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,000
And I thought it was a special gift from God.

264
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,800
He said, well, you asked about this.

265
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,880
So now you get to see it and hear it

266
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,040
because it was your prayer.

267
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,200
Yeah, it's a prayer that he put in your heart.

268
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,840
Yeah, I truly believe that too.

269
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,760
Yeah, yeah.

270
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,200
He works in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

271
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,720
And Sharon, he honors the outpouring of the Holy Spirit

272
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,880
begins many times even younger in our life.

273
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,480
It's not just for old folks.

274
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,880
Sometimes you thought, oh, well,

275
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,760
the old folks are the spiritual ones.

276
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,120
But what you do even as a young person

277
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,360
begins to set the pace for God

278
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,480
that trusts you with more and more.

279
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,080
And as we say yes to the Lord and to the Holy Spirit,

280
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,800
then he trusts us with more and more.

281
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,120
It's not just one yes that leads to traveling the world

282
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,880
with the great evangelist.

283
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,800
It's many yeses throughout our life,

284
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,880
many small things.

285
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,440
I'll give you one.

286
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,240
I was brought up Roman Catholic

287
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,040
and thank God for the respect and honor of God

288
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,080
that I was taught, the fear of God that I was taught,

289
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,440
the reverence of God that I was taught,

290
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,680
and the importance of prayer that I was taught.

291
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,960
It was very important in our family.

292
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,280
We didn't understand prayer,

293
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,080
but we knew it was very important.

294
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:17,080
And my mom's and dad's house was about half a mile

295
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,280
from the Catholic church.

296
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,560
And my mom was one of 10.

297
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:24,880
And they would often call my mom

298
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,440
and ask for her to have prayer said at our church,

299
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,840
at the Catholic church.

300
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,760
And then you would light a candle.

301
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,920
If you're Catholic, you know what I'm talking about.

302
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,880
If not, let me just say one of the things you do

303
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,200
is you go light a candle,

304
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,400
which is like a light of your prayer reflecting before God.

305
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,480
And you put a little offering in the place

306
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,040
where the candles are and you light the candle

307
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,840
and then you say your prayers.

308
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,120
Now, you say you're our father, you're Hail Mary,

309
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,120
and you might ask your request.

310
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,920
And so many times when they would call,

311
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,240
my mom would call me from playing.

312
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,600
Now I'm playing baseball or kickball or hide and seek.

313
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,680
And I'd hear my mom call my name and call me to the house.

314
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:12,160
And she would give me a quarter, some change,

315
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,440
and say, I want you to go light a candle

316
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,760
and say a prayer for my aunt, my niece,

317
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,760
whatever was going on.

318
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,600
And I would say, yes.

319
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,640
Now, you know, I had friends who were asked to go do

320
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,720
a similar thing by their parents.

321
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,880
And on the way to the church in our neighborhood,

322
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,320
there was a candy store.

323
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,440
Oh no.

324
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,640
I was thinking you might say something like that.

325
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,800
Back in the days of the nickel and penny candy,

326
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,280
and you know, if you have 25 cents, gosh.

327
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,120
That's a lot of candy.

328
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,200
That's a lot of candy and a fudgy call.

329
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,400
So I had friends who their bikes would be parked

330
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,400
by the candy store and maybe a penny might get put in the,

331
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,560
or they didn't even go to light the candle.

332
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Wow.

333
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,000
But I went and lit the candle

334
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,880
and I put all that was there in the offering.

335
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,440
And I knelt at that altar and I said the required prayers.

336
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,840
And then I would come back and get back in the kickball game

337
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,720
or whatever else was going on.

338
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,400
My friends laughed at me sometimes for doing that.

339
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,120
You know, I thought, you know, you could have had,

340
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,960
you know, all that candy or an ice cream.

341
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,640
Years later, I'm now on staff with Pastor Benny Hinn.

342
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,080
And Pastor Benny is flying in the airplane,

343
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,120
heading to a great crusade and event.

344
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,200
And the Holy Spirit speaks to him and said,

345
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,120
you need a prayer army supporting you

346
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,600
to be able to do what you're doing

347
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,720
and to go and have these crusades around the world.

348
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,960
And he said yes, that he would do that.

349
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,560
He would get an army of intercessors.

350
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,400
Wow.

351
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,760
And from the airplane, he called me.

352
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,560
He didn't know that I was the little boy

353
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,000
who rode his bike to the church and put in 25 cents

354
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,400
instead of a candy store.

355
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,520
But our Father in heaven knew and watched.

356
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,360
Because I was faithful, even as a young person,

357
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:14,360
in obeying my parents, being respectful to the Lord

358
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,400
and honoring God, he then honored me.

359
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,160
Pastor Benny called and said, Lord spoke to me.

360
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,480
We need an army of intercessors.

361
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,600
And I believe you're the one that's to help lead it

362
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,800
and to help me put it together.

363
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,440
So we started what was called

364
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,720
the Mighty Warriors Intercessory Army.

365
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,480
And every day I would post a prayer on the internet

366
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,760
that I would write to pray for Pastor Benny

367
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,320
and our ministry and the events

368
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,880
and the cities we were going to and did that for years.

369
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,240
We had as many as 50,000 people coming every day

370
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,120
to pray that prayer and to spend 15 minutes

371
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,640
in unity and prayer.

372
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,760
Glory to God.

373
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,840
So from one little candle lighting,

374
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,880
we were then having one of the largest prayer meetings

375
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,040
that I know of.

376
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,000
Yeah.

377
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,200
That's amazing.

378
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,960
That's wonderful, yeah.

379
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,800
Faithfulness.

380
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,040
Because you need that prayer covering

381
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,640
in some of these nations.

382
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,800
Absolutely.

383
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,200
Yeah, we do.

384
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,440
Absolutely.

385
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,440
And the idea of faithfulness,

386
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,720
I've been saying it more recently,

387
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,840
but there's a truth, I believe,

388
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,880
about as long as you keep saying yes,

389
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,160
you keep moving forward and you keep moving up

390
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,840
and you keep moving deeper and you keep moving

391
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,120
into a greater realm in God until you say no.

392
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:37,440
And if you say no, you'll go back down to the level

393
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,360
where you said yes and you stay there

394
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:42,840
until you decide to say yes again.

395
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,200
So just keep on saying yes, it's the thing.

396
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,280
It's the huge thing.

397
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,000
If you really want to see the outpouring,

398
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,680
if you really want to see the Book of Acts,

399
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,920
when God gave us the name global outpouring,

400
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,080
He spoke to me and said,

401
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,280
what's coming is going to be like the Book of Acts

402
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,560
on steroids.

403
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,560
Wow.

404
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,720
So it was like He showed me that the Book of Acts

405
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,480
was like the first fruits of the big thing

406
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,040
that He was going to do.

407
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,560
Greater works you should do.

408
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,400
When it's on all flesh.

409
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,600
Because of all those people that had come for Shavuot,

410
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,080
they had come to celebrate Pentecost

411
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,680
from the nations where the Jews had been dispersed.

412
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,000
They came back from those nations

413
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,080
and it was like a first fruits of the nations

414
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,160
were there on that day to hear the tongues

415
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,280
speaking the great works of God in their language.

416
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,560
Yeah.

417
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,240
That wasn't all flesh, but it was like a seed of all flesh.

418
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,480
And it was enough of all flesh that Peter could say,

419
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,440
this is that, that was spoken of by the prophet Joel.

420
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,040
I'll pour out of my spirit upon all flesh.

421
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:58,040
And now we have the potential to see all flesh,

422
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,520
see this outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

423
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,120
Certainly available to all of us.

424
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,960
It's not that there's something special

425
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,160
about Larry Mariello.

426
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,000
Or any of us.

427
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,240
Or Philip Borchetta specifically.

428
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,240
It's that somewhere we surrendered and said yes.

429
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,080
Not my will, but thine.

430
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:26,640
Not a simple prayer really, simple language.

431
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,920
But to truly mean it from your heart

432
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,560
is a surrender and a yes.

433
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,720
And keep saying yes.

434
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,160
I know Sister Gwen's motto was unconditional surrender.

435
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,000
Yes.

436
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,600
Which she lived by.

437
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,680
That's what she called her life story.

438
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,280
And we had to surrender with her many times.

439
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,440
We sure did.

440
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,120
We were her road crew for all those years.

441
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:52,040
And we're still the road crew.

442
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,000
Yeah.

443
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Now you were telling us before we started,

444
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,600
you were telling us some stories of things

445
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,440
that God used you to do.

446
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,960
He put you in a place at a strategic time

447
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,200
to do a strategic thing that made a big difference.

448
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,240
Can you tell us those stories?

449
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,680
Because you were here and you were blowing shofars

450
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,480
and buying some shofars from Holy Land Gifts.

451
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,480
For our bookstore.

452
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,400
For your bookstore.

453
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Yes.

454
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,520
That subject came up and I mentioned about how a shofar,

455
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,600
which is a ram's horn, or in this case a kudo,

456
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,160
the larger one, it's an instrument.

457
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,200
It's really like a spiritual cannon, I would say.

458
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:39,200
And I had been gifted with a shofar really supernaturally

459
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,200
by a Messianic rabbi who came to visit our church in Orlando

460
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,560
when I was on staff with Pastor Benny.

461
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,800
It's quite an interesting story.

462
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,200
And I received it not understanding it.

463
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,680
And he said, I'm gonna teach you about it.

464
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,840
And he wanted me to blow the shofar.

465
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,800
And I was hesitant to blow it in the lobby of the church

466
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,040
because there was all these people around and everything.

467
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,120
So I said, well, let's go into the prayer chapel.

468
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,400
And the lights were off in the prayer chapel.

469
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,840
And I had a key to it

470
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,960
because I helped to lead the prayer there.

471
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,920
I knew it was locked.

472
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,400
So I unlocked it, stepped inside, turned the light on

473
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,120
to blow the shofar there and let this Messianic rabbi

474
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:26,520
who was a little over the top, it seemed to be,

475
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,320
about pushing me to blow this shofar in the show

476
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,080
and telling me that I was the one and he had had a dream

477
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,200
and saw me in the dream and I needed to learn

478
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,000
how to blow this shofar.

479
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,160
And I'm thinking, okay, okay, I'll be nice.

480
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,840
I'll just be nice.

481
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,960
And when I turned that light on in that dark chapel,

482
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,040
there was a man face down on the floor, he was praying.

483
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,080
And he jumped kind of up to his feet.

484
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,000
And I said, I am so sorry.

485
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,680
I didn't know anyone was in here.

486
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,320
He said, well, they let me in.

487
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,960
They unlocked a door to let me in to pray.

488
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:04,360
And the rabbi goes, I'm here to teach the pastor

489
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:05,360
to blow the shofar.

490
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:06,600
I'm here.

491
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,240
And the man who had been on the floor stands up and said,

492
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,560
that's why I'm here.

493
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,400
Oh, wow.

494
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,040
He said, I came this morning and I asked if I could see

495
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,560
the pastor and they said, you know,

496
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,920
that the pastor wasn't available.

497
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,200
And so I asked if I could pray and I've been here praying

498
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,240
that God would bring the pastor.

499
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:31,640
And he had with him this material about shofars.

500
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,560
Oh my. And explaining it.

501
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,360
And he said, I brought a videotape that I have

502
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:40,240
and it's about how to play the shofar and blow the shofar

503
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,280
and the significance of it spiritually, et cetera.

504
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,000
And he brings it out and on the front of that,

505
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,960
he had put a picture on there that he had made.

506
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,960
And it's of a person in Jerusalem standing on the mount

507
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,000
and blowing two shofars.

508
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,800
And the rabbi that was with me says, let me see that.

509
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,640
And he grabs it and he says, that's me.

510
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,720
It was a picture of him from years earlier

511
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,640
when he was in Jerusalem blowing two shofars at once

512
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,520
that someone had taken that this guy who came from Chicago

513
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,840
had no idea who it was.

514
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,760
He just liked the picture and it put it on the video

515
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,200
as a cover to give me.

516
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,720
Not knowing who I was, but knowing God had told him to come.

517
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,040
So that's how I received the shofar.

518
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,000
And when I blew that shofar, the power of God hit

519
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,320
everybody in the chapel by then,

520
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,560
there was three or four other people,

521
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,960
everybody hit the floor under the power of God.

522
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,160
And I went, this is special.

523
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,920
So I let them teach me about that.

524
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,360
I listened, I studied about it.

525
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:54,920
And then I began to use that shofar as a spiritual weapon,

526
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,120
as a canon, as a catalyst to open up,

527
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:00,200
if you would, the heavens for prayer,

528
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,160
to make a portal, as some might say.

529
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,440
But it really does clear an atmosphere.

530
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,440
It opens a heavenlies and it's a spiritual cannon.

531
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,160
What I shared with you was once as a private pilot,

532
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,680
which is why Papa Jim and I, Colonel Jim and I

533
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,720
got along so well, had so much in common.

534
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,160
And I was flying with my wife from Florida to New York

535
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,720
and we got pushed inland because of a hurricane

536
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,360
that was coming and we landed at a small airport

537
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,720
right off of the ocean.

538
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,520
And there was no place to put the airplane in a hanger

539
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,680
because all the space had been taken by the locals.

540
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,440
And so I had to tie the plane down outside

541
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,520
and we had a rental car from the airport

542
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,600
and I'm unloading the plane and I had my shofar

543
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,000
and I'm like, you know, I'm not gonna let this hurricane win.

544
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,560
We drove to the edge of the property

545
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,440
that the airport was on, it was right on the water.

546
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,240
And I faced that storm that was coming in.

547
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,280
We prayed my wife and I and I blew the shofar

548
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,320
and then we declared against that storm

549
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,200
and commanded it to come apart and to break.

550
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,600
And then we went into the city.

551
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,520
It was in actually Charleston, South Carolina.

552
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,000
And everybody was evacuating, but we got a hotel room

553
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,520
and they thought we were crazy and they said,

554
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,840
well, we're gonna have to put you on the,

555
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,360
above the fourth floor, there's a hurricane coming in.

556
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:28,440
And we went out that night, had a great time

557
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,840
and did everything and went out the next morning

558
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,760
because the hurricane bypassed us.

559
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,520
We're loading the airplane when local pilots

560
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,920
from their hanger came out in their golf cart

561
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,420
and they asked me if they could talk to me

562
00:25:43,420 --> 00:25:45,840
for a few minutes and I said, sure.

563
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,840
And they said, what was that trumpet that you blew?

564
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,080
And I asked, why do you ask?

565
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,600
They said, well, we were watching the radar.

566
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,920
All the pilots have radar in their hanger

567
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,560
to watch the weather and we're watching the radar

568
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,560
of the storm coming in to us.

569
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,880
As you blew the shofar, we saw on the radar screen

570
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,480
as if a sound wave moving through that hurricane storm

571
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,480
and it just dissipated in split and went right around us.

572
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,040
Wow. Amen.

573
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,280
You drove away and we were like,

574
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,480
we have to find that guy and ask him, what is that?

575
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,640
So I was able to share the gospel with them,

576
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,160
share about spiritual warfare, what the ram's horn is,

577
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,880
where it came from, where it is in the Bible

578
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,040
and just had a great time of fellowship.

579
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,000
They were believers.

580
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,200
I don't know if they would call themselves

581
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,480
the same kind of believers perhaps

582
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,840
which of global outpouring kind of,

583
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,640
because their eyes were like as wide as anything.

584
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,320
Yeah, they were totally surprised and amazed by it.

585
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,280
But we believe it, we saw it.

586
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,840
Some have to see to believe

587
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,520
and some can just receive and understand

588
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,680
but they certainly saw and believed it.

589
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,600
Wow.

590
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,240
I've seen that kind of thing happen time and time again.

591
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,720
I don't often talk about it because it's not about me,

592
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,320
it's about what God does.

593
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,240
And I believe it's what he does through all of us

594
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,440
and should be doing.

595
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,920
And Ken is wanting to do it through all believers.

596
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,400
He's waiting to pour out his spirit globally

597
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,920
that we all walk in this kind of a dimension,

598
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,160
a spiritual dimension.

599
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,400
Now that doesn't mean we're not earthly.

600
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,480
I'm still earthly.

601
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,400
It doesn't mean I'm perfect.

602
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,600
Just ask my wife, she'll tell you I'm not.

603
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,240
But it does mean that I've connected with a dimension

604
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,040
of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

605
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,640
that's available to all of us to be able to walk in

606
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,560
that I would call normal Christianity.

607
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,800
Living like a king's kid, you know, it was a book years ago,

608
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,680
how to live like a king's kid.

609
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,920
And we ought to walk like that, understand that,

610
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,920
and then we can influence the atmosphere around us.

611
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,720
And it changes everything.

612
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,480
Changes the way the crops are, the way the weather is.

613
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,880
You know, if our land is in a drought,

614
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,480
maybe because it needs repentance.

615
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,320
Right.

616
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,120
And if our nation is having troubles,

617
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:25,560
maybe it's because we've turned away from God.

618
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,880
And we ought to look for the root causes

619
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,920
of what's affecting that around us daily.

620
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,000
And somewhere we stopped saying yes.

621
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,800
And we said no, if we want to know maybe why

622
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,320
there's so much violence in a school,

623
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,360
maybe it's because in the school,

624
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,920
we stopped saying yes to God and we said no.

625
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,880
And we withdrew.

626
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,600
Talk to us about what happened in Turks and Caicos

627
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:52,720
when you were there.

628
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,640
First of all, I was just gonna say,

629
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:55,760
can you tell us where that is?

630
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,960
Sure, it's in the Caribbean.

631
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,440
It's a group of islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands.

632
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,880
It's right on the edge of where the Caribbean

633
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,160
and the Atlantic shelf meet.

634
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,800
Jacques Cousteau, you know,

635
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,240
and he did all those great things diving, right?

636
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,480
All the documentaries.

637
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,400
Well, so much of that was filmed in the Turks and Caicos area

638
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,280
because of the Caribbean and the Atlantic shelf.

639
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,600
You can literally dive down that whole wall.

640
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,520
The Atlantic shelf goes there and it's incredible.

641
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,680
Well, there's one island called Grand Turk Island.

642
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,560
And it's where we had our base, a submarine base

643
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,200
and a naval base when we were doing the first astronauts

644
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,800
going and orbiting and we would land.

645
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,800
Okay, yeah.

646
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,200
The capsule would land in the water and they'd rescue it.

647
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,680
They'd bring it to Grand Turk.

648
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,600
Would be one of the bases for a lot of the first places.

649
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,040
Some would even say it's one of the first places

650
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,760
Columbus put his feet on in that area.

651
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,040
But here at Grand Turk Island, I had flown there

652
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,680
thinking I was getting just a few days, you know, of...

653
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,520
Vacation.

654
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,760
Yeah, a little R&R.

655
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,120
But also with a group of businessmen

656
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,080
who were wanting to do a business deal on Grand Turk

657
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,960
and get some land and put up a resort.

658
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,880
And they were from our church and from Florida

659
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,240
and they were believers and I had done a Bible study

660
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,720
for Christian businessmen and they'd been part of that.

661
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,720
And they asked if I would come along as a pastor

662
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,360
just to keep them covered in prayer.

663
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,920
And the first night when we landed,

664
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,120
we were eating out on the patio outside the hotel

665
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,240
and they were having a special meeting

666
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,000
with government officials.

667
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,360
I was not part of that.

668
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:49,840
I was alone.

669
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,760
They were talking with government officials

670
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,160
and the prime minister of Grand Turk

671
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,520
and Grand Turks and Caicos was there.

672
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,560
So you had to be invited to that table, you know, kind of thing.

673
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,640
And there's security in that.

674
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,160
What I didn't know is that they were having a discussion

675
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,480
about what was going on in the Turks and Caicos

676
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,360
and they'd been in a seven year drought.

677
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,040
And the next day they were planning a national day of prayer

678
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,760
because they felt that, you know,

679
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,960
they had to ask God to help them with this drought.

680
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,880
And the businessmen, knowing some of my history and that,

681
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,480
and they said, that's why we brought Pastor Larry.

682
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,920
And they said, you need to talk to Pastor Larry.

683
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,040
And so the prime minister sent his security over

684
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,920
and they said, the prime minister wants to speak to you.

685
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,680
And I thought I was in trouble, you know.

686
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,440
I'm walking over and he tells me the story

687
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,680
and what they're doing.

688
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,720
And I said, you know, the Lord had prepared me on the way

689
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,560
with some scriptures and some things

690
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,200
and I shared them with him.

691
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,520
And he said, you're to lead the national day of prayer.

692
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,080
And so I got to help host the national day of prayer,

693
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,160
which was carried live on their national radio.

694
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:03,160
And I talked about repentance and we needed to repent.

695
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,080
And that if you had sinned against your brother

696
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,120
and if, you know, before you put a gift on the altar, go.

697
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,760
You know, I went through all the different things

698
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,520
on forgiveness and I just shared scripture after scripture

699
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,280
about repentance.

700
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,760
And the Holy Spirit came down.

701
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,800
And of course it was all dignitaries

702
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,440
and government officials all at the head table.

703
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,200
It was at the national parade grounds.

704
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,120
They had a tent, but there was more people

705
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,960
than even would fit under the tent.

706
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,720
People were in chairs and a spirit of repentance began

707
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,200
to just hit the place.

708
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,200
Glory to God.

709
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,040
And politicians began to come to the microphone

710
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,560
and repent publicly and ask their political rival

711
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,840
to forgive them.

712
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,120
Wow.

713
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,120
They were hugging and repenting and there were tears

714
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,040
and it was amazing.

715
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,360
And it was such a holy time.

716
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,160
And I said, you know, we needed to pour oil into the ground

717
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,400
to repent publicly and anoint the ground

718
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,400
and even take communion and put this,

719
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,000
Sister Gwynedd said take communion

720
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,760
and even put communion in the ground.

721
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,640
And we took communion together and they asked me to do that.

722
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,880
I anointed all around the parade ground.

723
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,920
And then I blew the shofar at the end

724
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,720
and declared liberty, you know, jubilee.

725
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,000
That sound of the shofar just penetrated.

726
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,280
And I said, when I blow the shofar,

727
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,480
I want you to shout the taruah, which in the scripture,

728
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,760
it says that's the sound the shofar makes, taruah.

729
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:37,160
And so I told them to shout like the sound of the shofar.

730
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,520
Don't shout hallelujah, don't shout praise the Lord.

731
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:45,000
Shout like this cry from your heart unto God of victory.

732
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,720
Taru, you know, and taru.

733
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,680
And I blew the shofar and about a thousand people

734
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:52,640
who were there or more,

735
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,800
they all began to shout like they were shofars

736
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:56,720
and make that sound.

737
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,580
It just, I felt like the ground shook.

738
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,200
After everything was dismissed

739
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,680
and everyone had gone their way and everything had finished,

740
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,280
the prime minister asked if I would go with him,

741
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,300
a small group.

742
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:13,200
We went back to that same hotel restaurant.

743
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,800
We're sitting on that same patio and we ordered dinner.

744
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,160
And we had to move inside in the middle of the dinner

745
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,280
because it began to sprinkle in rain.

746
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,280
And I said to the prime minister,

747
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,840
I said, that's just the sign like this cloud was like that

748
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,940
of a man's hand and that the rain was coming.

749
00:34:32,940 --> 00:34:34,720
The drought was broken.

750
00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:35,600
Glory to God.

751
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,840
And then next morning we were going to leave,

752
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,480
but the flight was canceled

753
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,080
because there was too much water on the runway

754
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,280
for the plane to take off.

755
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,300
Glory to God.

756
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:51,240
And they had many years of great blessing and dedication.

757
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:54,640
And that curse had been broken.

758
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:59,120
Drought can come again by saying no and walking away,

759
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,520
but blessing comes by saying yes and repenting.

760
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,280
The sooner we were to say yes

761
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,080
and keep walking in a life of repentance,

762
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,840
the more we can walk at that level of blessing

763
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,560
and hear another from the Lord

764
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,960
that we can say yes to and yes to.

765
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,300
And then we continue to climb that ladder

766
00:35:19,300 --> 00:35:20,920
more and more into his presence

767
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,320
and more and more in walking in that outpouring

768
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,600
of his spirit that's available for us all.

769
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,360
Well, beautiful, beautiful.

770
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,120
Yeah, I remember a story.

771
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,160
We had one of the first ones we had heard on the shofar

772
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,040
and we were invited to go out to Colorado Springs

773
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,320
and they were building the World Prayer Center

774
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,120
that was still going on at that time.

775
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,120
Back in the late 90s.

776
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,200
It was and Sister Gwen wasn't able to go.

777
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,880
So I said, I'm sending Sharon to take my place.

778
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,320
So we're there and teaching on a seminar

779
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,340
and Sharon had this prepared on the shofar,

780
00:35:58,340 --> 00:36:01,640
how it is processed, what it goes through,

781
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,000
to get it sound, how it gets cleaned out and all that stuff.

782
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,720
And at the lunch hour, the teachers,

783
00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:10,280
they'd have a teacher at a certain table

784
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,240
and people could come and sit at that table and talk

785
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:15,840
to whoever the preacher or the teacher was.

786
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,360
And at lunch, there was this man sitting there

787
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,400
and he proceeds to tell us a story on the shofar.

788
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,480
And I had not heard it from the horse's mouth.

789
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,880
You know, I'd kind of scratch my head a little.

790
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,880
But he had a house he was trying to sell.

791
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,360
It would not sell.

792
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,960
And so he called the church.

793
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,120
It was a big church there and they called the intercessors.

794
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,520
They all came over and they're just, you know,

795
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,100
declaring the victory, just warring over the house.

796
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:44,640
And when they went to leave, they said,

797
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:45,840
but what they said was,

798
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,220
there's a war going on over your house,

799
00:36:48,220 --> 00:36:50,040
but they never got a breakthrough.

800
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,280
And so everybody leaves and he says,

801
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,080
well, Lord, what do I do?

802
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,480
And he audibly heard in his spirit, go get a shofar.

803
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,240
And he didn't know what a shofar was.

804
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:02,820
You know, this is the early days of these.

805
00:37:02,820 --> 00:37:04,560
And he goes to church the next morning,

806
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,620
he works in the office and one of the secretaries

807
00:37:07,620 --> 00:37:10,120
comes up to him with a shofar in her hand.

808
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,080
Says, look at this, we're going through some of my stuff

809
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,400
and I found this shofar.

810
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,160
It's been missing for a long time.

811
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,200
And he says, because he knew it was God,

812
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,620
he says, can I borrow this?

813
00:37:20,620 --> 00:37:21,800
She says, sure.

814
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,520
So he goes home, you know, maybe it was his lunch break.

815
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,080
Went home, gets in his house and you know,

816
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,280
I just praying, okay, Lord, I got the shofar.

817
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,680
And he starts blowing and he doesn't know how to blow one.

818
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,760
Just squawk, squawk, you know,

819
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,720
just like when you're learning to blow one.

820
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:41,840
And he felt this commotion going on over the house

821
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,680
and then just like an all clear.

822
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,960
And that afternoon he gets a call from a lady.

823
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,040
He says, you have a house for sale.

824
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,680
I want to come look at it.

825
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,080
And so she comes over that evening after work,

826
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,960
comes in, looks at us, it's just what I want.

827
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,560
Gives him a down payment.

828
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,720
24 hours, it's paid for.

829
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:02,560
Cash.

830
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,960
Cash out of his hands.

831
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,660
You know, and had I not heard that right

832
00:38:06,660 --> 00:38:10,360
from the horse's mouth, you know, I thought that's.

833
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,920
And it's not just the instrument itself

834
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,100
because it's the horn of a ram,

835
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:19,280
but it's the spiritual significance, the power behind it

836
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,420
when it's used in the authority of prayer

837
00:38:21,420 --> 00:38:24,440
by the Holy Spirit for what God wants to do.

838
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,280
Yeah.

839
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,200
Yeah, go and study the story of the falling

840
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,440
of the walls of Jericho.

841
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,600
Yeah, and Gideon.

842
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,440
And Gideon.

843
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,520
And you know, it comes, the first ram that you hear about

844
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,360
in his horns is when Abraham obeys God

845
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,600
and he's about to slay his son, Isaac,

846
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,240
and God supplies a ram instead.

847
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:46,360
He was caught by his shofars.

848
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,240
By his shofars horns.

849
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:49,080
Yeah, by his horns.

850
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:54,080
And in my belief, Abraham took that horn,

851
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,720
made it into a shofar and blew it on the top of that hill.

852
00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:00,560
Oh wow.

853
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,500
I mean, we don't see that in our Bible,

854
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:06,700
but I believe that's what happened.

855
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:08,180
It just makes sense.

856
00:39:08,180 --> 00:39:09,020
It does.

857
00:39:09,020 --> 00:39:09,840
It does make sense.

858
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:10,680
To me, and kind of fits,

859
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,220
God does everything in circles and completes it

860
00:39:15,220 --> 00:39:16,980
and it just makes sense.

861
00:39:16,980 --> 00:39:18,740
I don't think it's insignificant

862
00:39:18,740 --> 00:39:22,180
that it mentions it was caught by its horn.

863
00:39:22,180 --> 00:39:23,020
Right. Yeah.

864
00:39:23,020 --> 00:39:26,900
And I think that horn, Abraham knew then

865
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:29,980
to blow that as a sound of victory,

866
00:39:29,980 --> 00:39:33,420
that to this day, when we blow that horn,

867
00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:37,100
it reminds the kingdom of darkness

868
00:39:37,100 --> 00:39:40,460
of the very beginning, you know.

869
00:39:40,460 --> 00:39:41,300
Yeah.

870
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:42,860
And his coming end.

871
00:39:42,860 --> 00:39:43,700
Yes.

872
00:39:43,700 --> 00:39:44,980
And the lamb that was slain

873
00:39:44,980 --> 00:39:46,180
from the foundation of the world.

874
00:39:46,180 --> 00:39:47,820
It's a principle of substitution

875
00:39:47,820 --> 00:39:49,260
that you hear that sound.

876
00:39:49,260 --> 00:39:50,300
Very well said.

877
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:52,180
That's what I was trying to say.

878
00:39:52,180 --> 00:39:53,020
Thank you.

879
00:39:53,020 --> 00:39:53,860
Yeah.

880
00:39:53,860 --> 00:39:56,900
It's like the ramp gave its life for that horn

881
00:39:56,900 --> 00:39:59,300
because in Israel today,

882
00:39:59,300 --> 00:40:00,940
that for thousands of, you know,

883
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:03,660
how many the last 3,000 years,

884
00:40:03,660 --> 00:40:07,060
they blow the shofar at Shabbat, you know,

885
00:40:07,060 --> 00:40:10,140
they blow it when the Shabbat is starting.

886
00:40:10,140 --> 00:40:12,580
They blow it when Shabbat is over

887
00:40:12,580 --> 00:40:15,220
and they use it as a call of war.

888
00:40:15,220 --> 00:40:16,580
They would call when they would, you know,

889
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:18,820
blow for the troops to assemble.

890
00:40:18,820 --> 00:40:22,900
Like Gideon, 300 shofars that had, you know,

891
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:24,900
the ram's horn had them hidden there.

892
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:27,140
And because each ram's horn

893
00:40:27,140 --> 00:40:30,580
would like represent a company of soldiers.

894
00:40:30,580 --> 00:40:34,420
And so I can't imagine the sound of 3,000 shofars.

895
00:40:34,420 --> 00:40:35,260
300.

896
00:40:35,260 --> 00:40:38,020
300 shofars rather going off.

897
00:40:38,020 --> 00:40:40,700
Well, you know, the panic that when they've hired

898
00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:44,140
all these nations against us and they ran in panic,

899
00:40:44,140 --> 00:40:47,260
you know, it's just the power, you know,

900
00:40:47,260 --> 00:40:48,940
the instrument that was used

901
00:40:48,940 --> 00:40:51,740
that the Holy Spirit just moved, you know,

902
00:40:51,740 --> 00:40:55,380
on behalf of God's will to do what God wanted to do.

903
00:40:55,380 --> 00:40:56,220
Amen.

904
00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:57,060
So that's just amazing.

905
00:40:57,060 --> 00:40:58,540
There's so many stories on the shofar.

906
00:40:58,540 --> 00:40:59,380
That's true.

907
00:40:59,380 --> 00:41:01,620
So you have them now.

908
00:41:01,620 --> 00:41:06,620
You just, you are leaving here with a car full of shofars.

909
00:41:07,020 --> 00:41:08,780
For those who are interested, you-

910
00:41:08,780 --> 00:41:09,620
Come to the convention.

911
00:41:09,620 --> 00:41:10,460
Go to the global outpouring.

912
00:41:10,460 --> 00:41:12,420
Come to the convention, yeah.

913
00:41:12,420 --> 00:41:15,220
Yes, and come to the convention and learn more

914
00:41:15,220 --> 00:41:18,460
and you can get a shofar.

915
00:41:18,460 --> 00:41:19,300
Right.

916
00:41:19,300 --> 00:41:21,140
And we'll teach you the principle behind it.

917
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,820
And the principles behind it and how to use it

918
00:41:23,820 --> 00:41:25,420
so that you understand all of it.

919
00:41:25,420 --> 00:41:27,220
I see a lot of homes that might have one,

920
00:41:27,220 --> 00:41:29,300
but they don't know what it is.

921
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:32,820
You have to know how to use it and understand it.

922
00:41:32,820 --> 00:41:33,660
That's true.

923
00:41:33,660 --> 00:41:36,900
And sitting on the mantle of their fireplace.

924
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:41,540
But God set you up to have a special anointing for it.

925
00:41:41,540 --> 00:41:43,380
Yeah, no question about it.

926
00:41:43,380 --> 00:41:45,700
I've never heard of a setup like that before.

927
00:41:45,700 --> 00:41:47,020
That was amazing.

928
00:41:47,020 --> 00:41:50,660
So before we close, could we ask you to pray

929
00:41:50,660 --> 00:41:54,020
for the listeners and if they're anointed

930
00:41:54,020 --> 00:41:56,460
to get a shofar or whatever, they have one.

931
00:41:56,460 --> 00:42:00,740
But particularly, would you pray particularly

932
00:42:00,740 --> 00:42:03,740
for them to have the grace to keep saying yes to God?

933
00:42:03,740 --> 00:42:05,340
Yeah, absolutely.

934
00:42:05,340 --> 00:42:08,820
I'd like to remind all of you that are listening

935
00:42:08,820 --> 00:42:12,780
that his arms are wide open for you.

936
00:42:12,780 --> 00:42:17,460
With arms wide open, he's waiting for you,

937
00:42:17,460 --> 00:42:18,860
looking for you.

938
00:42:18,860 --> 00:42:22,940
Right now, he's drawing you closer.

939
00:42:22,940 --> 00:42:27,940
The urging, the unction, the call of your heart

940
00:42:28,700 --> 00:42:32,460
really wants to say yes.

941
00:42:32,460 --> 00:42:37,460
His arms are wide open and he's actually running towards you.

942
00:42:37,740 --> 00:42:42,740
Why not say yes, Lord, and run toward him with your heart?

943
00:42:43,300 --> 00:42:48,060
Surrender it and say, Lord, yes.

944
00:42:48,060 --> 00:42:52,900
To whatever the question, to whatever the assignment,

945
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:54,740
I say yes.

946
00:42:54,740 --> 00:42:58,140
Yes, Lord, yes.

947
00:42:58,140 --> 00:43:02,820
Holy Spirit, my prayer for all who are listening

948
00:43:02,820 --> 00:43:07,300
and all who desire to know God

949
00:43:08,220 --> 00:43:11,260
is that they would feel that unction of the Holy Spirit,

950
00:43:11,260 --> 00:43:15,380
that they would bow their heart, their head,

951
00:43:15,380 --> 00:43:19,420
their ego, their pride, not just physically,

952
00:43:19,420 --> 00:43:23,820
but they would bow spiritually, willfully,

953
00:43:23,820 --> 00:43:28,820
before you, surrender and say, yes, King.

954
00:43:29,460 --> 00:43:33,540
I lay my life before you, yes, King.

955
00:43:33,540 --> 00:43:36,140
I want to hear your voice.

956
00:43:36,140 --> 00:43:39,940
I want to feel your presence, your touch.

957
00:43:39,940 --> 00:43:41,420
I want to know you.

958
00:43:41,420 --> 00:43:44,740
I want to read your word and hear another speak to me

959
00:43:44,740 --> 00:43:48,820
through it, the Holy Spirit.

960
00:43:48,820 --> 00:43:53,100
Breathe upon me, God, that I might really surrender

961
00:43:53,100 --> 00:43:57,980
and say, yes, Lord, yes, yes.

962
00:43:57,980 --> 00:44:00,660
Some are saying yes even now.

963
00:44:00,660 --> 00:44:03,420
You know, it's okay if you speak it out loud now.

964
00:44:03,420 --> 00:44:05,740
No one will think you're weird,

965
00:44:05,740 --> 00:44:07,620
but the Holy Spirit will hear it.

966
00:44:07,620 --> 00:44:10,260
The Father will take notice.

967
00:44:10,260 --> 00:44:14,540
Why don't you just say, Father, I surrender.

968
00:44:14,540 --> 00:44:16,180
Help me.

969
00:44:16,180 --> 00:44:18,740
Help my unbelief.

970
00:44:18,740 --> 00:44:23,740
Help me that I might say yes even now, yes.

971
00:44:23,980 --> 00:44:26,780
Yes, Lord, yes.

972
00:44:26,780 --> 00:44:29,860
To God be the glory.

973
00:44:29,860 --> 00:44:34,380
And to Jesus, the Lord and Savior, I say yes.

974
00:44:34,380 --> 00:44:37,220
Come, come in my life.

975
00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:40,140
Change me wherever I need changing.

976
00:44:40,140 --> 00:44:45,140
Mold me, shape me more like Jesus, less like me.

977
00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:48,460
In Jesus' name, amen.

978
00:44:48,460 --> 00:44:49,300
Amen.

979
00:44:50,180 --> 00:44:52,220
Thank you so much, Pastor Larry.

980
00:44:52,220 --> 00:44:53,060
