Bible if any verse should be marked in
your Bible this should be underlined and

mine is underlined and triple-lined and
on the sides of everything
Hebrews 11 6.
but without faith it is impossible to
please him for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is and that he is a
rewarder of them that diligently seek
him again but without faith it is
impossible to please him for he that
cometh to God must believe that he is
and that he is a rewarder of them an
agility seek him and I want you to quote
it with me please read it out loud but
without faith it is impossible to please
him for he that cometh to God must
believe that he is and he’s a rewarder
of them that diligently seek him
Lord I pray for your unction and
anointing this morning in 1995 you’re
calling us to Faith
to jettison all of our unbelief and our
doubts and our fears and to come to you
Lord as one who’s made great and
precious promises whereby we’re made
partakers of your very divine nature now
Lord give us a word from Heaven that
will begin to do a work in us for this
whole year Lord I want it to happen in
me sanctify me give me the anointing of
the Holy Ghost Holy Spirit I know your
hand is on me God your hand is upon me
and I ask you Lord to breathe life
through the words that I speak this
morning sanctify Me For Your Glory in
Jesus name amen
now I would like to believe that most of
you sitting here this morning
uh who call yourself by his name have
learned to go to God In Prayer about
everything you you are praying believer
most Christians uh know and believe in
the necessity of rare now some of you
not only pray but you seek the Lord
diligently some of you pray with tears
many of you have learned to fast you
know the value of fasting and I thank
God for a praying fasting Church
now some of you have learned even to
pour your hearts out to God with great
heart rendering and supplications and
you’re convinced as David was he said
when thou said is seek ye my face my
heart said unto thee Lord thy face I
will seek
and many of you here this morning would
be called Seekers after God but I have a
question
for you this morning does God hear every
child who comes crying to him does he
hear every cry
of every child of his it comes to him do
all who come to him seeking his Blessing
and favor get what they want because
everybody who comes to him asking
deliverance from besetting sin get that
Deliverance
does everybody who asks receive
what are those who come to him with much
fasting they they fast I’ve heard of
people fasting for 20 30 and some even
40 days out of Africa come those reports
of those who believe in God to raise the
dead in the fast and 30 and 40 days
are we heard by our fasting are we heard
by our praying alone are we heard by our
tears uh and there’s something in us
that
urges us on say if I could just fast
more if I could pray more if I could
just cry more
spend more time with God read more of
the scripture I believe I could be a
better Christian I’ll hear from God and
God will answer my prayers
we have the idea that all we need is
more more more
we hear David say in my distress I
called upon the Lord
I Cried unto my God
he heard my voice out of his Temple My
Cry game came before him even into his
ears
and because David cried the next verse
says God came down he thundered in the
heavens he drew me out of many Waters he
delivered me from my strong enemy
so is that it you go to God and you cry
and God hears and Thunders from heaven
and delivers you
beloved there’s a missing link there’s
something missing
and it’s missing in many of our lives
and it’s why we’re not getting answers
to many prayers it’s why often our
unsafe loved ones are not saved it’s
often why year after year goes on and on
and nothing happens our prayers are not
answered
there’s a missing link and it’s this
verse that I just gave to you Hebrews 11
6 for without faith it’s impossible to
please him for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is that is rewarded
of them to diligently seek Him in James
1 6 and 7. but let him ask in faith
nothing doubting
for he that doubts is like a wave of the
sea driven with the wind and tossed for
let not that man think he shall receive
anything of the Lord
the man that is living in doubt or
entertains doubts even in his prayer
chamber entertains doubt during his
fasting entertains doubts don’t let that
manner that woman that believer no
matter how many rivers of Tears you cry
don’t let that person think they will
receive anything from God anything
scripture said David said blessed be the
Lord because he’s heard the voice of my
supplication the Lord is my strength and
my shield my heart trusted in him and I
am helped I want you to go to Psalms 33
I’m gonna I’m showing you something here
from
from David’s Psalms Psalms 30 go to
Psalm 33.
now you’ve heard me you’ve heard Pastor
Carter you’ve heard Pastor Don you’ve
heard us say God wants us to cry out to
him there is a gut level there’s a
gut-wrenching cry we talk about
and God does hear the cry
that that cry is not heard unless it’s
accompanied by faith
it has to be accompanied by Trust
Psalms 33 Verse 18 beginning to read
behold
the eye of the Lord is upon them that
fear Him
upon them that hope in his Mercy to
deliver their soul from death and to
keep them alive in famine our soul
waited for the Lord he’s our help and
our shield for our hearts are rejoice in
him why
because we are trusted in His holy name
in other words he’s saying the fear of
the Lord yes he keep me alive he’s going
to deliver me I’m going to wait on the
Lord he’s my help he’s my shield he’s my
deliverer
but it’s because we have trusted in His
holy name how many see that in verse 21
because we have trusted in His holy name
don’t turn there but Psalms 18 2-3 the
Lord is my rock
my Fortress my deliverer my God my
strength my butler the Horn of my
salvation in whom I Trust
in whom I trust
he could call God his delivery he could
call God his shield his mighty Horn of
Deliverance because he said I trust him
I have no right to say that of no right
to pray it I have no right to fast about
it till I trust him first
in fact David makes it very clear that
all of our fathers from the very
beginning of time
had their prayers answered because they
trusted in him
all right Psalm 22 4-5 our fathers
trusted indeed that’s where they begin
they trusted and thou just deliver them
they Cried unto thee and were delivered
because they trusted in thee and were
not confounded
they were delivered
when they cried because they trusted
indeed
Psalms 26 1 I’ve trusted also in the
Lord therefore I shall not slide
I’ve trusted him so I’m not going to
backslide I’m not going to give up and
God’s not going to give up on me and I’m
not going to backslide I’m not going to
slide back to my old ways because my
trust is anchored in him
it was
David’s trust that moved God to deliver
him reading from Psalms 56 11-13
for thou Hast delivered my soul from
death
will you not deliver my feet from
falling because in God I have put my
trust I will not be afraid of what man
can do unto me and folks everywhere you
hear God David crying out every time you
hear David’s confession that God is
delivering him you’ll hear his pride of
trust you’ll hear his testimony rather
of trust he said God’s hearing me God’s
answering me because I trust in him I
cry out to God with tears and
supplication but I trust him I’m crying
out from this Foundation of trust that
God put in my heart
now I I mentioned this last night
because I preached half my messages last
night
if you were here
as as I saw most of you were not here
but uh the Lord brought this home to me
in prayer this past week I was shut in
with the Lord at a wonderful time
and uh
my wife is down in Texas with Bonnie
grandmothering
having a great time with all her
grandkids so I had a week alone and
seeking the Lord and fasting in prayer
and about the third day on Wednesday
folks there are a lot of things I’m
praying about there’s some Miracles I
need that I’m praying about one of the
Miracles is the an outpouring the Holy
Spirit here in New York City for example
I’m praying about some needs I’m talking
about I’m praying about physical needs
in my family in my own body there are a
whole lot of things that I’m praying
about and and you can look at pastors
and they come up when they sound uh as
if there is never a problem never a need
that everything is just Rosy
with with our lives now folks
I would hope you believe and understand
that that we’re not living in sin and
we’re not praying about those kind of
things we’re praying about the the
burden uh Paul talked about the the
burdens of the church who were cast upon
him and the needs of people and and you
can’t preach this gospel without a
broken heart you can’t stand here
without uh beseeching the Living God for
unction and anointing because it’s an
awesome way to to have it uh in your
mind all day long every waking hour I
have to stand before God and answer
I have to answer whether I have
comforted people in their sins by not
preaching enough of his of his law and
his wrath or have I wounded many people
who were needing love in that thin line
there that this this great awesome thing
that hangs over you oh God I have to
stand one day and answer and I don’t
want ever to have anybody at the
judgments he’d be able to point a finger
at me and say you didn’t preach the
whole counsel of God
and I’ll tell you it’s a burden
it’s an awesome awesome thing if to me
it’s overwhelming my prayer every day is
God if I were ever to bring disgrace to
your name I want you to take me now
flame me I want you to take my life
right now don’t ever let me be like some
evangelist friends and acquaintances of
mine who have failed and brought great
reproach on you Lord I’d rather you kill
me than ever let me bring reproach on
your name
and I know that every person that search
prays that way God don’t ever let me
bring reproach to your name but I there
were some things I was agonizing over
and praying and crying out to God
pouring my heart out weeping in and uh
a kind of feeling
well I’ve got to break through God’s
goddamn me because I’m putting such an
effort into it
I am so sincere
I am so desperate and he’s going to hear
me because the Bible says cry unto Lord
and he’ll hear you
I preached it and uh and I’m quoting
those scriptures myself about crying and
and uh laying hold of the horns on the
Altar and and I’m doing all these things
and I’ve brought my flesh under
subjection because the flesh has no
inclination to pray and you have to have
a real Victory when you’re really
interceding there’s a victory over flesh
and I’m rejoicing in this victory over
my flesh I’m really walking all over the
apartment and shouting and crying and
screaming at God and say oh God you have
to answer
the Lord said be quiet stop it
I mean lovingly but firmly stop it David
stop it
get your Hank and wipe your face and
stop your crying
stop my crying
he said you wanted a broken contrite
spirit to this one will I look
stop your crying
stop walking around this
Department goes to Dad
and as clear as anything I’ve ever heard
in my life don’t you ever again
come into my presence like you’re coming
right now
with unbelief
I don’t want your tears
I don’t want your crying
I don’t want your screaming and begging
until you’re going to believe my word
until you believe you’re you’re crying
you are praying you’re weeping without
faith
and you can’t please me you could cry
for all 1995 he said you can you can we
tell there no more tears left you can
make me promise that you can do anything
you want fight and strive it’s not going
to do you any good because you’re not
going to have your prayers heard they’ll
not be answered you’re not going to get
anything from me until you come by faith
and that’s when he led me to that
without faith it’s impossible to please
me
and if you’re going to come to me you’ve
got to believe that I am that I am your
God that I’m faithful to you and I’m
going to reward you if you seek me with
faith
and then he said
go to the promises
go to the promises and and I’ll tell you
the Lord showed me how not to come to
him anymore that’s why how this message
was born first of all do not come to him
expect him to answer a single cry or
hear a single prayer or do any good
thing for you
unless you come with childlike faith in
his promises
unless you come with childlike Faith
because you see we Believers have a very
serious problem
we hear so much preaching about the need
of prayer we get under such condemnation
when we neglect to pray
and we grapple so strongly with our
flesh trying to bring it into subjection
and we discipline ourselves to pray and
so when we get to this place where we’re
really praying and seeking God we think
it it’s Unthinkable in our minds that
God would not receive after we’ve gone
through such a struggle to achieve this
place we can’t believe that we can do
all this effort and be in vain
that God doesn’t hear it that you might
as well if you’re not going to pray in
faith you might as well go down to one
of these churches and light a couple
candles and stand before an idol
and and quote your prayers to the idol
if you’re not going to come to Faith he
said you cannot please be in any way
right there stands before us without
faith it’s impossible impossible
get a hold of that word it’s impossible
for you to please me without faith
boy does that stick in me ever since
Abraham
developed a faith that staggered not at
what God promised and being not weak in
faith he considered not his own body now
dead when he was about a hundred years
old neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s
womb he staggered not at the promise of
God through unbelief but he was strong
in faith giving glory to God and being
fully persuaded that what God had
promised he was able to perform
and we’re talking about impossibilities
because God makes a promise to two dead
people
here’s a man whose reproductive organs
are dead and here’s a woman whose one
was dead
and God’s saying you dead man
you dead woman are going to have a baby
a baby boy and all my promises of Faith
are going to come through this child
you’re going to be the father of many
nations
he’s a he’s 99 years old Sarah’s 90.
we’re talking about impossibility what a
challenge to Faith absolutely humanly
impossible and God said Sarah shall her
name be and I will bless her and I’ll
give the son also of her she shall be
the mother of Nations and Kings Sarah
shall bear thee a son indeed
now why did God wait till he got so old
that promise was given to him years
before it was given to him before
Ishmael was born it was given to him
when he was still alive
it given to him before he was dead
physically dead as far as reproduction
why didn’t God give him
Isaac when he gave him Ishmael
God could have answered that
why did God wait I tell you
Sarah waited they wait 10 years and
Sarah gets impatient and she knows the
promise
and Abraham knows the promise since he
gets uh impatient when you get impatient
with God you start
designing and manipulating and planning
and plotting
and she has a plan she’s devised she
said I’ll tell you what I don’t have a
child but I’ll give you my mate Hagar
for your second wife you go into her and
you bear you bear a son you bear me a
child through Hagar and here’s a man who
who doesn’t raise any objections he says
all right and he goes along with the
scheme with with the device
because he’s thinking in his mind well
he said out of my seed the son will come
and so it would be still be my seed and
he’s reasoning and he he goes into Hagar
and Ishmael is born
and when Hagar is with child she
despises her her uh
uh what you call not a Lord but her
mistress and uh she despises and then
you see Sarah go to Abraham and she said
uh
this sin be upon you in other words what
she’s really saying this is your fault
it’s not my fault it’s your fault and
she’s right
because you see it’s the man or the
woman that has the life that’s
responsible
Abraham had received the word from the
Lord directly from the the hand of God
right from the heart of God he was told
to be patient and to wait and he gets
impatient he goes along with this scheme
because he’s looking for a shortcut he’s
trying to make things happen he doesn’t
have faith he’s staggering into promises
and God at this point you see Abraham
had to had to develop this Faith he had
to come to this place through testing
and trial where he had a faith that
didn’t stagger he had a faith it was
unshakable and that’s God’s testimony of
Abraham God said of him he’s staggered
not at the promise of God but that was
when he’s 99 years now this is this is
before the because from the time the
promise is given until the child came
was 19 years
why did God allow the impossibilities to
pile up why did he come to the wait till
it was absolutely humanly impossible
because this seed had to be the seat of
faith it had to be birthed in faith this
child had to be a child of faith
not of human reasoning not of
considering things and figuring it out
this had to be total dependence on God
this had to be a miracle child this had
to be born in the womb of faith and
nothing else
it was Abraham’s fault
and folks
the greatest sin is the sin against
light
you know I I see uh a church over here a
Catholic Church uh every three months or
so they’ve got this uh icon they’ve got
this statue of Mary and they’re holding
it on their shoulders and they have
little trumpets and thing and they’re
they’re walking slow all around eight to
ninth and and I I looked at these people
come and giving money to that Idol and
it’s an idol of Mary it’s an icon of
Mary and and I look at that and I say
that
the people really
is there such blindness as to
really believe that
she answers prayer an idol even though
they may see her representing Mary
that you go to Mary to get your prayers
answered rather than Jesus Christ or to
the father
and I’m thinking this blindness but
folks you see we’re judged by the Light
we’ve received
there are some sitting here now far more
guilty before God than anything like
that you can go to the Philippines where
they cut themselves and gas themselves
and you could say oh what what horrible
blindness what what awful Darkness but
folks they’re not going to be judged
like you and I are going to be judged
who have had the light we’re judged by
the light that we’ve received and folks
this whole book is a book of light
promise after promises whereby God has
given us everything we need having to do
with righteousness and life itself
everything we need
and yet we rather than appropriate it
whether than to know it and understand
it
mind hath not conceived the good things
God has prepared for them that love him
but God has revealed them unto us he
reveals it unto those who want it who
seek the revelation
you don’t have to live 1995 in fear you
don’t have to live in the bondage of
unbelief
I want to tell you something you take
one drop of the ocean and that one drop
has all the same qualities or the the
bad qualities of the ocean this is
there’s as much percentage of of salt in
that one drop is in the whole ocean
percentage-wise all of the bacteria and
everything else in one drop
and you could have one drop of unbelief
and be guilty of the whole body of
unbelief
the whole ocean of unbelief if you have
just these drops of unbelief in your
heart it’s the same thing God bless
every drop of unbelief out of our hearts
it had to be birthed of Faith this child
and so it was
you see the Bible says Abraham
considered not that means he didn’t stop
to figure things out
in fact the Bible to stagger means to
dispute or to debate
and what it’s saying Abraham didn’t try
to figure it out he didn’t argue the
merits he didn’t debate the issue God
said it and he believed it
folks what it means to have faith is to
have all your arguments settled you’re
not trying to figure thing out anymore
you’re not trying to debate with God
you’re not trying to figure it out at
all you’re not reasoning and the Bible
said he considered not he no more human
reasoning
he’s going to hear the word of God and
act on it
has God delivered you from all human
reasoning don’t come to him if you’re
going to try to figure it out you’re
going to go to praying and tell God how
to do it or figure it out for him
that’s where most Christians are they’re
trying to figure out how God can answer
their prayer
when you go to God you leave behind all
debates all human reasoning all idea of
hopelessness all the questions all the
doubts
and believe the scripture says according
to your faith so be it unto you
according to your faith
by secondly
don’t come to God with any IFS
when God
gives you a specific promise
it’s absolute unbelief to qualify it
with an if
now let me talk to you about this idea
if praying if it be thy will
now folks that’s mentioned one time in
the scripture
Jesus in The Garden of Gethsemane when
he prayed o my father if it be possible
let this cup pass from me nevertheless
not as I will but thou will
let me talk to you about the cup
the cup has nothing to do with the cross
Jesus always embraced the cross for
three years he told his disciples where
he was headed he embraced the cross he’s
God he was God in flesh he knew that
mankind could not be saved without the
cross without the setting of his own
blood
he embraced the cross that was not the
cup the cup is very clearly the anguish
that he was suffering in the garden he
said to the my soul is exceedingly
sorrowful even unto death
the anguish the sorrow in Jesus was
because man had rejected his father’s
plan on their own Redemption
he had the weight of the sins of the
whole world upon him
and he did not want his own sorrow
to slay him in the garden
he was sweating he was he was weeping
bloody tears
he did not want man to kill him he
didn’t want to fall in the hands of the
man and be slain in the garden he knew
he had to go to the cross
he said my Soviet cities are even under
death
the Paul of death was upon him the cup
was death before the cross
no he said if it’s possible let this cup
pass from me and folks it did pass that
cup passed
the Holy Spirit came down quickened him
and by the time they got to him Jesus
was
gentle prepared and walked bravely to
the Cross there was something that Came
Upon Our blessed savior and he faced it
he was not dreading it there was a
wonderful thing that happened to our
savior in Gethsemane the cup passed and
he came through God answered that prayer
he said if it’s possible let it pass it
passed
there’s a scripture in first John 5 14.
if we ask anything according to his will
he
heareth us
look at the context and you’ll find he’s
talking about the gift of eternal life
he’s trying to understand folks listen
to me please
you can substitute their promise
because
any promise is a revelation of God’s
will
did you hear me
how many are hearing this
are you hearing in your spirit that the
promise is a revelation of his will
what he Wills he has promised
if you ask anything according to my
promise
he hears you
according to his promise his promises it
was revealed will promise to keep us
from falling that’s a revelation of his
will that is his will to keep you from
falling he’s revealed it John 15 7 if
you abide in me and my words abide in
you he shall ask what you will and it
shall be done unto you
Hallelujah
on my way to church this morning
this wasn’t in my message and if you saw
me scribble something down something
Holy Spirit spoke to my heart
when I was on my way to church this
morning the holy spirit said now you get
up and you preach
anything you ask
we’re gonna have people asking for
better cars
better clothes
and uh a husband and they’re going to
describe them they’re going to want
black hair six foot two
big wide shoulders and
they’re going to get into that
give me give me give me
you see there’s another thing you don’t
come to him with lust in your heart
or covetousness
remember what James said you pray and
you ask and you don’t receive because
you ask and Miss you’re asking with the
wrong motive you’re asking to to consume
it on your own lust
some of you honestly I use this as an
illustration you’re single and you pray
God I’m tired of being alone I really
want to mate
are you willing to let him do it his way
and the one that he chooses
or is it you’re you’re not coveting
companionship
you have a lust in you that needs to be
satisfied
and you’re only dealing on this level of
lust
you’re not dealing with the companion
you’re not looking for someone you’ve
not really prayed for someone who really
loves God with all his heart or Soul or
a woman who loves God with all her heart
and soul was going to be a real
testimony for Jesus and be a strength to
you it’s just somebody you’re just
somebody to to to satisfy that inner
fleshly craving
God’s not going to answer that prayer
God’s not going to answer that
you you look around your house and you
get dissatisfied you see somebody around
you there’s something better and there’s
something Rises up well Lord I I want
something better than this and you
Covenant if there’s any covetousness at
all God’s not going to answer
he said that’s the wrong motive
then these people that are are preaching
name it and claim it in other words just
whatever you name you can have it
disclaim it that comes from a spirit of
covetousness I do believe God answers
prayer he will meet every need he can
get you out of debt if you have the
right motivate if you have if you have a
determination you won’t go back in debt
got no gonna bail you out of debt if
you’re going to jump right back into it
and you haven’t learned your lesson he’s
going to wait now folks God there are a
lot of prayers are not being answered
and God just not lets the
impossibilities pile up and pile up
until it gets more and more hopeless and
that’s what he did with Abraham until it
got absolutely hopeless and the landlord
can say now will you believe me you
can’t do it you can’t figure it out I
have to do it you know and the whole
world knows and I got to the place where
you know if it comes it’s an answer to
prayer it’s an answer to what I have
promised you
folks there there are people that that
uh
say well and I used to say this well of
God sets one door it’s because he got a
bigger door to open
hello I don’t go on that theology that
philosophy anymore
in other words if God doesn’t give me
what I ask to give me something better
his desire is to have you so walk with
him that you’re really not asking
anything except what he births in your
own spirit
you shut in with him and he puts these
Desires in your heart he puts these
requests in your heart you begin to find
yourself praying for souls and seeking
first the kingdom of God and then you
look around all these things are
happening behind you you haven’t even
asked for them he’s blessing you because
you’re not asking for blessings you’re
asking both things that are close to his
heart
and and there’s there’s something
happening inside of you you see well
Lord you’ve been so good I look back
over the past years since we’ve been
here in New York City how God has
blessed oh God is blessed but you see we
have zeroed in on seeking him first
glorifying his name believing him for
Souls believing him for his Spirit to be
poured out believing for the Salvation
of our family
seek him first
his kingdom his righteousness seek to be
walking before him in Purity walk before
men Holiness he says I’ll take care of
all these things I’ll take care of all
of them I’ll meet your need
now before I close let me tell you how
to come to him rightly just quickly
I’m going to give you four simple things
and how to come to him in the right way
first of all you come with we’re giving
heart
listen to me folks forget faith
forget prayer forget fast and forget it
all if you’ve got a grudge against
somebody
if you go go to God with something in
your heart forget it you’re not going to
be forgiving your sins your prayers are
not going to get above your head
well get past your hair
let alone the roof
but if you forgive not men their
trespasses neither will your father
forgive your trespasses Matthew 6 15.
and I’ll tell you what I said it last
night
God dealt with me on this someone last
year had wounded me quite
grievously
and it and it’s uh
nobody that’s here in this church right
now so don’t try to figure out who
wounded me
but oh it hurt because I I know before
God I was totally innocent of anything
and uh
and I want the Lord I said Lord I don’t
want to Harbor anything in my heart I
don’t want anything stand between you
and me so I forgive I forgive
Lord I forgive I prayed that for two
weeks and I thought I’d forgiven two
weeks later I’m sitting at the
restaurant my wife and I’m talking I’m
kicking it all around again
I said I’m forgiven but boy it’s hard to
forget I’m forgiven but that’s still
bugging me and for the next two weeks I
was sharing with anybody to listen
and God said David I can’t hear you you
already haven’t forgiven because when
you forgive you forget you don’t bring
it up anymore it’s a dead issue
folks get that in your mind now if
you’re going to pray and seek God work
to go into a week of prayer we’re
believing God for not pointing the Holy
Ghost but we want our prayers to Prevail
get out of your spirit anything against
anybody you got anything against me
against brother Carter any other person
get it out
it’s not on your matter getting your
prayers to answer about it get into
heaven
I’m going to be there
you better make peace with me
I’m just a little teddy bear anyhow
looking
seriously
you have something against somebody
don’t pray
till it’s out till it’s settled and it’s
dead secondly obey his word and do what
he says whatsoever we ask we receive of
him because we keep his Commandments and
do those things pleasing in his sight
and by the way he’ll tell you if there’s
anything the holy spirit will show you
anything is displeasing to the Lord if
you simply go to him in faith he’s
promised to reveal it because that’s the
work convinced of the Holy Spirit to
convict of sin righteousness and
judgment thirdly if you’re married treat
your mate with intelligence and With
Honor that your prayers be not hindered
you’ve got to go to God you’re fighting
with your wife forget it
if you’re not treating your husband or
your wife with intelligence or With
Honor
your prayers are not going to be heard
they’re hindered the scripture says and
finally
come in simple childlike Faith except
you be converted becomes little children
you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven
and I used to think you can’t get to you
you can’t go to Glory you’re going to be
lost if you if you don’t come like a
child it’s not what it means
he’s talking about the Kingdom of Heaven
here on Earth you you cannot
appropriate all of the provisions that
Christ has made and that you come as a
little child you can’t enter this Heaven
on Earth you can’t enter this place in
God until you come like a little child
you can’t enter this you’re going to be
left outside so if you want inside and
you want to appropriate all the promises
of God and all the provisions of the
Cross you come as a little child and
believed him Hallelujah you know what
I’m what I’m doing this year
and I I may put in a little book so that
we can share it with the body of Christ
I did publish a promise book
but I’m taking promises for specific
things in my life I’m looking at every
area of my life
everything I’ve been praying about and
I’ve made it a point I’m going through
and I’m writing down all the promises
that have to deal with that a revelation
of his will that has to do with the
thing I’m praying about and I intend by
God’s grace to go to God every day this
next year taking those promises to the
throne of grace
and I’m going to just lay them there and
say Here’s what you said that’s a
revealed will I believe what you said
and I’m going to start thanking you
right now I’m not going to beg you to do
what you promised I’m going to thank you
for fulfilling your word to me and I
want to go by faith and this year should
be more of rather than begging God to do
what he’s promised standing on these
promises of God and begin to thank him
and lay them before him and appropriate
them
they’re ours
Hallelujah
1995 is a year of faith
a year of believing for the Salvation of
your family that God’s going to start
convicting them even today
Hallelujah
didn’t he say ask what you will in my
name
didn’t he say anything you ask the
father in his name he will do it let’s
believe those are the good things you
ask for the Salvation of the souls and
he know folks he knows your condition
your physical condition he knows your
financial condition
and he’s not going to abandon you
I’ve heard people say well brother Dave
I’ve prayed prayed about my financial
needs and I’m still in a mess
well let every let God Be True in every
man a liar
because the word of God is true I don’t
care if a million people tell me it
doesn’t work for them God says he made
his promise I’m going to stand on that
promise against a million people would
say otherwise
if your needs are not being supplied if
you’re going deeper and deeper God’s
going to have to deal with covetousness
he’s going to have to to deal with some
things in your life to get it right with
God and when you get things straightened
in divine order these promises will work
they will work Hallelujah let’s stand
folks let me ask you a question
if you can’t pray specifically for
things
how do you know when God answers
you say I pray for someone God gave me
something else well how do you know that
came and answered a prayer
God wants you to know he wants to give
you exactly what you asked so that when
it comes you’ll know specifically that
he is answered to encourage your faith
Hallelujah
Heavenly Father
forgive our unbelief
there’s not a person in this building
that hasn’t had
some times of unbelief
drops of unbelief and doubt this past
year
and Lord sometimes they’re just flashing
through our mind they pass through but
their thoughts of unbelief
and Lord when we we we’re not trusting
you it means we don’t believe you truly
love us
Lord you love your people you didn’t
call us to abandon us to the devil let
the devil ensnare us you called us to
deliver us and set us free that we can
walk in Holiness and righteousness and
without fear all the days of our life
Hallelujah
Lord this is your freedom you’re going
to save a multitude this year
you are going to save a multitude and
we’re going to believe you for our
families Lord for all the people being
saved in this church don’t pass by our
families we’re going to get desperate
with you so we’re going to do it in
faith hallelujah we’re going to begin to
thank you for your promises and we’re
going to stand on your word not our word
but on your word
Hallelujah
blessed be the name of the Lord
I don’t have his mind yet for they all
to call
sing a course okay let’s just wait on
him a minute please
it wants to come down and rid of
unbelief and start a new year and have a
whole church coming down here because
we’re all feeling that and since they’ve
got in the spirit
but here’s what the Holy Spirit spoke to
my heart there there’s some balcony here
in the main floor and uh you have in you
a spirit of restlessness it’s been most
of this past year been very restless and
there’s been no real peace
somehow you have not come to a place of
real peace in the Lord
your spirit’s been troubled
I don’t I don’t know what the harassment
comes whether it’s from the enemy
whether some sin uh uh or situation in
your family but there’s there’s a total
lack of peace and there’s a restlessness
there’s something churning inside of you
that’s the best I can explain so I’ll
received more and the Holy Spirit made
it clear that this is the just a very
narrow invitation this morning for those
who have that turning churning inside of
you that restlessness
I want you to get off your seat that’s
the Holy Spirit
working on you
doing something very clearly in your
heart this morning I want you to get
obviously up in the balcony go down
either side come down any aisle they say
brother Dave that’s me there’s there’s a
twisting there’s a turning and I don’t
want to go through 95 like I did 94.
that restlessness that thing that’s
chewing and churning inside of me
because I don’t know what it’s from but
God wants to settle this morning
bring that Restless Heart
he wants to give you peace
Hallelujah
sing that again
so I prayed I want to talk to everybody
who came forward
here’s what I receive from the Holy
Spirit I don’t see any way
out of restlessness out of anxiety
I see no way for a change other than
faith
faith is your way to Victory absolute
victory
let’s take example if you’ve been
battling and besetting sin or you’ve the
enemy has been coming at you and just
holding you something has a hold of your
life
if you stand here and allow the devil to
say I’ll never be free I’m going to be
like this I’ve prayed and cried and it’s
still there you’ll never be free there
has to be somebody who says God has
promised to keep me from falling God has
promised to keep me I’m going to stand
and believe that there has to be hope
rise in you Abraham believed against
hope he believed against hope he
believed against everything you have to
believe against all the lives of the
devil pounding your head you have to
believe that God said it
you have to stand on what he said
he said
call upon me and I’ll answer
he is going to answer you he’s going to
answer your Cry he’s going to answer
your prayer
and you’ve got to stand on that right
now Lord I’m David said Lord you you
promised my house that you’re going to
bless my seed and I look around I don’t
see it I don’t see what you promised
nevertheless I believe
that’s exactly where you have to come
right now whatever it is you may be in a
hopeless situation in your home it seems
humanly hopeless but you’ve got to
believe God knows how to straighten
things out you have to believe God knows
how to fix anything
anything
I I think of drug addicts over the years
that came to this one one drug addict he
said he said I got saved but if I love
the Lord but I’m married to five women
and I listened to I mean he had lived
seeded his way and he had he he was he
was he had married certificates
everything five different women I think
oh God how do you ever mix it how do you
ever figure this out but folks within a
year God figured that whole thing out
God straightened things out
some of them were
drug addicted wise I think one or two
that were passed on
not just miraculously delivered that
that brother he can work a miracle after
miracle and get you out straight in your
life if you will trust him and believe
him so God I’m going to cast my Care on
you I’m going to give everything I’m
going to try to figure aren’t you tired
of trying to figure it out
aren’t you tired of making God promises
that you break
aren’t you tired of carrying this load
on your own back
put it on him now Jesus I’m going to
stand on these great impressive problems
now that requires that you get into this
book
and you start digging them out
Hallelujah go to the Psalms I’ll tell
you what if you spend 30 days just in
the Psalms and take every promise and
read your name into every promise that
was given to David or any other servant
of God read your name into it and stand
on it God’s the same yesterday to Dan
forever he’s no respecter of persons and
God will meet you
oh that I could pour faith into I can’t
but he can that’s the work of the Holy
Spirit oh God give me the faith that I
need this year by your head and pray
this prayer with me from your heart
Jesus forgive my unbelief
forgive my lack of trust
forget forgive me for all the words of
doubt that I’ve been speaking
to my own heart and to others
Jesus I come to you
as a child
and childlike faith
saying Teach me to believe
teach me to trust
give me your faith Jesus
heal my unbelief
I want to trust you Jesus
to deliver me and to keep me from
falling and present Me faultless Before
the Throne of your glory
I love you Jesus and by your grace in
1995
I’ll cast my Care on you
I do it right now
I cast it on you Jesus I give it all to
you now
and I trust you
to work a miracle in my home in my life
now raise your hands and thank him right
now by faith that God is going to do
what you ask Hallelujah
Praise You Jesus
I give you thanks Lord thank him right
now with your own Spirit your own heart
your own lips I give you thanks
I give you thanks
wonderful Lord

Hallelujah this is the conclusion of the
message
