powerful message
one of my heroes pastored a church in
Harlem jesse Windley what a man of faith
just when I pastored the soul Saving
Station in Harlem faith John the man had
sixteen children had to be a man of
faith now well either way you look at he
had to be him in anyway he he was he was
pastoring and they were starving that
they were literally starving to death
because the church wouldn’t feed him
well they were they went on to New York
and he began pastor that that church and
he’d man of faith and God blessed him
and he began to prosper and then this is
better back years ago what Jerry what
what would you think probably he was
alive
71 yeah and he wasn’t he was what then
probably 60 years old or so something
like thanks Jesse set up a meeting in
the street right in the middle of just
the worst part of New York City and
while he’s preaching he’s got the Oh his
you know his singers was up on the the
platform with him they had a platform
set up on one side of the street and
Street was here and people were out
there listening to Bill Irwin and
priests and all the singers in there
singing in and and he’s preaching well
here coming here comes a gang of guys
and literally again gang members and
they’re coming across the street at him
with knives and
and they come in after it they’re gonna
pull him down off that platform
everybody on the platform ran everybody
scared Jesse when they took his Bible
like that he jumped off of that platform
and he took off after him now he said he
said I stepped over in a place where he
said I I don’t know what happened he
said when I can’t do he said I was
across the street and had these guys
backed up against the wall
and this and their own then they said we
didn’t know it really he said I don’t
know what they saw well you can pretty
well figure what they saw they saw his
angels I’ve had that golden 45 forgotten
about that they saw his angels and they
said they saw his angels and they had
golden 45 oh yeah yeah I know I know a
man that went out there was some guys
that were out to kill him he’s a pastor
he didn’t ever didn’t think about
anything like that and they sent message
to him that there was some kind of
message that somebody needed help or
something I don’t remember exactly what
it was and they needed to come out to
this certain place well he just got in
his car went out there and got out there
what do you think there and when he got
out of his car he looked around and he
didn’t see anybody so he just got in the
car and went back to town thought well
you know I don’t know he said later one
of these guys contacted me now they were
they were laying in wait for him and
they were they’re going to they’re going
to really work him over
with the idea of beating him to the
point of death or killing him and he
said who were those soldiers you had
with you he said what would he do better
he said you had soldiers with you any
and he said they wore white gloves and
they had white helmets and every one of
them was carrying a carbine I won’t know
who they were
he said well that’s my protective detail
well he said when we saw him we ran off
he said we didn’t want no part of that
white helmets white gloves and every one
of them had a carbine yeah m1 a1 carbine
they recognized and that good I was
preaching in Beaumont Texas right there
right at the beginning of this ministry
hadn’t been oh I’ve just been on the
field couple of years I guess something
like that and I was preaching in small
Church there and there was one fellow
that this man I mean he just came every
day and and wouldn’t any of the
Pentecostal people come and the
Pentecostals all said wildfire wildfire
whampire you know the boy the Baptist’s
were filling the place that got started
but the Baptist there and then a lot
weird every meeting we went three weeks
in that place well this is this fellow
but Amana man he was he was there and I
noticed one day he did right in the
middle of metazine he got up and left I
said someone all that bad business made
him mad and he left and he had gone for
several services and I noticed then he
when he came back in he just came back
in the back door of the church and just
set down right there in that first seat
just sit there
while I was preaching all of a sudden he
went
he look like he going in shock well I
noticed it but you know when I’m in the
building anything any longer than about
four or five rows back you see something
like that
and I didn’t pay attention to it I just
want to add volume and he came up out of
service he said I need to have lunch
with you if I could I said well yeah cuz
I want to I don’t know what I’m doing
you know and he told me what I said it
made him mad and he said I never know
lying going back over there listen to
that so he stayed away several day but
then the Lord got on him you know and he
said no now I want you to go back over
there no he said I’m not going he said I
want you to go back at least one more
service well I’ll go one more time and
if he says anything like that again I’m
never going back the Lord’s service all
right just be just go one more time he
said brother Kenneth and I was sitting
back there mad at you he said all of a
sudden I saw the biggest fella I have
ever seen in my life and he said he
looked like he’s fastened to you he said
look there was there was a space between
the two of you see he’s huge and he said
you know the commercial mr. clean
he said that’s what he looked like said
no hair on his head white shirt white
breeches and he said he was right with
you everywhere you didn’t you couldn’t
move him out he didn’t bubble but he
knows you think he’s here right now so
it he’s always always it and he said he
said you’d be preaching along and he
said and you’d stop a minute and said
he’d lean over and wish for something
you’re here and he said yeah I mean he’s
a
you just breaking the middle and he said
I never saw anything like it in my life
he thought I wish I hadn’t said anything
now you have an angel or what more than
one working with you
amen he belongs to you he’ll be with you
all the days of your life
he’s always before the face of the
Father and they’re not little fat babies
with wings now there there are little
little small angels like that but
they’re there a totally totally
different class of angel and the ones
that we’re dealing with look like men
they are me they’re angels but their
angelic men they didn’t born a man and
turn into an angel then no such thing
that you’re a man you’re a man you woman
you’re a woman that’s all you ever will
be now you’re higher class creation than
an angel they excel in strength they’re
ruinously strong but they all bow to the
name of Jesus they are here to add their
strength to what you do you don’t need
to be provoking them and in the name of
Jesus you do have authority where your
angels are concerned are they not all
ministering spirits sent forth the
minister for them that shall be heirs of
salvation now why do I talk about this
well you’re not in this by yourself
when you activate your faith you
activate your angel that’s what he’s
there for
amen he’s he’s an operator he’ll add
strength to you
he’ll minister to you I told you this
last night I’m gonna put it in here
again because this is
important I told you about that fellow
that that had heart situation and he had
believed God his faith went active where
his heart was concerned and I have it on
good authority that this happened in
this prayer line tonight you just
couldn’t see it but he woke up in the
night he just woke up and there’s a
fella standing that next to his bed with
his hands in his chest he’s got his
hands down in his chest working on his
heart and he saw him and even his
titties that everything’s all right
going back sleep so he just went back to
sleep he woke up the next morning and
totally knew her amen
the Lord just granted him the blessing
of seeing that and that’s wonderful well
I want to see what you know well we’re
in the word does it promise you you see
an angel well then don’t go don’t start
praying that way the devil will
accommodate you if you do because he
transforms into an angel of light and
he’ll mess with you so you don’t have
been pregnant but you can eat you can
expect your angel to work with you and
you need to pray father reveal to me how
to aid my angel and their work with this
ministry and with me and with my family
reveal to me how I can aid them and and
things that I need to do things I don’t
need to be doing that get in their way I
need to know how they think I need to
know I need I need to be on I’m on I’m
on their side you understand and God God
said don’t provoke your angel now 23rd
chapter of Exodus verse 20
are you there
behold I send an angel before you to
keep you in the way and bring you into
the place which I have prepared beware
of him obey his voice provoke him not
for he will not pardon your
transgression for my name is enemy now
they don’t have any emotions they don’t
have human emotions now since they were
created by God then then they’ve I mean
you know they’re emotional beings but
they don’t have human emotions then our
gonna put up with you or my unbelief now
then they’re not going to do anything
about it they don’t have that kind of
authority but when you’re talking
unbelief that they just stand idle you
provoke him with unbelief disobedience
saying things other than the word
refusing to obey or using the world’s
words that just scares me to death and
all that kind of stuff they’re there
because they’ve been commanded to be
there they’ll be there all your life but
don’t waste them now notice what he said
be aware of him and obey his voice
provoke him not for he will not pardon
your transgressions for my name is in
him in fact he didn’t he won’t pardon
you he doesn’t even have the authority
to do that now this was in the old
covenant in the new covenant our
transgressions have already been dealt
with by the blood of Jesus to
in ignorance or whatever you can still
say and do things that render your
angels absolutely helpless that they
that they can only just do so much just
out of the pure grace of God but nowhere
like what they’ve been assigned to do
and what they’re capable to do now
notice I wondered a lot of times I’d
read this and I’d say Lord I don’t
understand this you shall serve verse 25
you shall serve the Lord your God and he
shall bless your bread and water and I
will take sickness from the necessary
that wait a minute what is wrong with he
and I the Lord said well read the rest
of the chapter oh okay
I send an eight-oh I send an angel
before you to keep you in the way to
bring it into the place I’ve prepared
beware of him obey his voice provoke him
not he will not pardon your
transgressions for my name is in it but
if you will indeed obey his voice and do
what I speak then I’ll be an enemy to
your enemies and an adversary to your
adversaries and you shall serve the Lord
your God and your angel will bless your
bread and your water and I don’t take
sickness from the midst of Wow isn’t
that wonderful amen alright let’s go to
the book of Hebrews well I’ll be out
throughout eternity I’ll never forget
the time I first heard this oh my
goodness first Kenneth Hagin teep I ever
heard man I didn’t even know who he was
I was in my mother’s living room she and
Gloria had gone in the backroom she
wanted to show Gloria something we came
down there to preach brother Harold
Nichols church and I said mother you got
any tapes or anything to listen to she
said yeah she handed me brother Hagins
tape you write your own ticket with God
on one side and
what’s the name that other side keep
here you have what you’re saying yeah
thank you bidding and right at the end
one of those he said well yeah yeah yeah
I’m on do it yeah I’m gonna go ahead and
do it and he took this first chapter of
Hebrews but to which of the Angels verse
13 said he at any time sit on my right
hand until I make your enemies your
footstool are they not all say all oh
all of them all of them ministering
spirits sent forth to minister for them
who shall be heirs unto salvation now
when you go into chapter 2 therefore we
ought to give more earnest heed to the
things which we’ve heard lest at any
time we should let them slip for if the
word spoken by Angels was steadfast and
every transgression disobedience
received a just recompense of reward how
shall we escape if we neglect so great a
salvation that wasn’t talking about
being born again that’s talking about
the salvation and deliverance that’s
been put in the hands of these angels
amen
and I heard that for the first time I’ll
tell you what it literally hit me so
hard it knocked me in the floor and when
Gloria came back in there I was in the
floor on my back underneath my mother’s
coffee table just laying there on my
back thinking your God I’ve got angels
oh god oh god oh god
I’ve got handles I remember I said
something stupid like oh what’s your
name
I want to what other dumb things I did
but it struck me like a boat every
believer oughta know this amen
my mother’s brother extremely strong man
he wasn’t a great big man he was in a
car wreck late one night he missed a
curb a curve in the highway and the car
rolled over and over and no seatbelts in
those cars then the door came open threw
him out and the car went up on its nose
like that and came back down and fell on
top of him the top well his feet were
sticking out one side and it’s laying on
him and his head sticking out the other
side well he’d picked that car up and
hold it for a little bit and breathe and
and and and I heard him tell mother he
said he said I figured I could he said I
figured I could flip that car off of me
well there’s a Studebaker is a full
grown car but he said my feet were
sticking out on the other side of it did
that’ll break my feet off and he said
I’m praying he said I did he said in
middle of the night man I’m on my way
anybody gonna find me out there and he
said so I just lift that car up I’m hold
it long as I couldn’t hold it let it
back down and breathe a little bit and
hold it back up again he did that for a
good while and he said then there was a
woman came up to me and put her hand on
my face and said Pete everything’s going
to be all right I’ve got people coming
and she now that may not be the exact
words but and and she stayed there and
kept her hand on him and kept
strengthening him and and while he lift
that thing up and breathe along and in a
little while there’s some people drove
up out there now he had rolled off that
highway off down in this this gully deep
play you couldn’t even see that car from
the highway you couldn’t see it in the
daytime from the highway but she
directed traffic there haha you know who
that was and he said it was he said he
said it was an angel he said I can tell
by looking at her well this has to do
with faith this has to do with believe
in God faith is the currency of the
spirit realm come by with no money
faith is the currency amen
faith is our medium of exchange
everything that’s heavenly everything
that’s in the spirit realm belongs to us
and like I’ve heard that brother bill
say God didn’t ask you to pay for it he
told you to believe for it well faith is
our currency you can believe for a whole
lot more actually under most conditions
you can believe for more than you can
believe money enough to pay for it your
faith is more active without the money
depending on what kind of ministry in
which you’re called now there’s
sometimes in certain situations that God
needs you to believe him for money
because there’s things certain thing
she wants you to do that take money to
do it like when you’re gonna he has a
need for you to do something financially
that involves other people for instance
we live by the kingdom of God we live in
Kingdom economy and it doesn’t function
like the natural world economy does and
we pay for something what God says pay
for it we may pay twice what somebody
asks for it why would you ever want to
do that
that ain’t my business I don’t run this
I just work here but God has a reason
for doing that
we’re Kingdom people we follow that we
follow that that we seek first the king
over the kingdom he tells you to pay
more pay more amen glory to God
this is Kingdom business
