book of Isaiah part 12

Part 12 - Book of Isaiah Study ''Hold Your Position'' mp4 Let's start where we left off in chapter 12. Brother, Elder Morgan, would you come and read for me tonight? Praise the Lord. Yeah, that's where we left off. We left off in chapter 13, verse number 3 is where we left off last time. Now, for those that don't remember the last one, I went and watched it last night on FHTV so I could remember where we left off. And I'm going to tell you, that sermon got me so excited. Lord, have mercy. And I remembered where we left off was in verse 2 and verse 3. Lift up a banner up on the high mountains. Raise your voice to them that's stuck in Babylon. Remember that? Lift a banner and start calling them out of Babylon. Wave your hand so that they may enter the gates of the called out ones, the house of Yahweh. I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones, those who rejoice in my exaltation for my wrath. Now, that's where we left off. Tonight we're picking up in verse 4 and then we're going to traverse our way through chapter 14. But let's read verse number 4. Right after you hear the call to come out of Babylon, here's what's going to happen. Verse 4. You will hear the noise of a multitude in the mountains, like that of a great people. A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together. Yahweh of hosts gathers the army for the battle. They come from a far country, from the ends of heaven. Yahweh and the weapons of his indignation to destroy the whole land. Now, right after you hear the call to come out of Babylon, all of a sudden, there's going to come against you everything in the mountains. Oh yes. He said, did you hear the call to come out in verse 3? Right after you hear the call to come out, you're going to hear a sound up in the mountains. And that's going to be the sound of everybody turning against you. That's going to be the sound of war because I'm going to allow them. As a matter of fact, he said, I'm going to send this army from the mountains to destroy the whole land. You are the land he's trying to destroy. Land is made out of dirt. Your flesh is made out of dirt. He said, once I call you out, I'm sending an army to destroy everything about you. They're going to destroy where you thought you were comfortable. They're going to destroy what you thought you knew about the Bible. They're going to destroy how your family thinks about you. They're going to destroy how your friend, there's an army coming after you. And God says, I sent them. Hallelujah. And you look around and say, where's all this hate coming from? If you'll read the rest of that chapter, which I'm not going to do tonight, you'll find out who stirred up the army in the mountains. It was Yahweh that stirred them up and said, get down there and destroy my people in a good way. I want you to destroy their flesh. I want you to destroy their pride. I want you to destroy everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. Your army's on the way if it hadn't come already. I want you to destroy everything they trust in, everything they put their faith in. If you see another God, destroy it. If you see another thing that they worship, destroy it. God sends an army after he calls you out. Is anybody awake in this church? Come on, saints. I've been gone too long evidently. Learn to follow the word. He said, once I call you out, I'm calling them. I'm calling your accusers. I'm calling those that are jealous of you. And I'm going to put them on your Facebook page. I'm going to put them on your Snapchat. I'm going to put them in your business. I'm going to make them attack you. I'm going to make them lie. I'm going to, oh, you don't believe God will do it? What did God tell that angel? Who's going to go and stop Ahab? That spirit said, I'll go and be a lying spirit in his mouth. God said, go and lie on him. Because I've got to use that lie to bring out my truth. Without their lie, truth never gets revealed. I'm going to say it again. Without their lie, truth never gets revealed. God will send a liar to put you in the fire. And when it gets done, truth will stand. Hallelujah. I want to preach to you tonight, hold your position. Hold your position. You may be seated. Now, after chapter 13, I'm not going to read chapter 13 because it's depressing. It's all about how God's going to destroy you. The whole chapter is about how you're going to wake up one day and ain't going to have nothing. And you're going to look around and you're going to have no friends. If you're the pastor, you're going to look around and you're going to have no members. God's just going to destroy it all. So I decided to skip chapter 13. Now, why did I choose to skip it? Because chapter 14 is where we need to get to. What you don't understand is all of your enemies in your life that the Father has sent your way has been to get you out of chapter 13 and to bring you into chapter 14. We're going to call chapter 13 Friday the 13th. But right after Friday the 13th, it's the Sabbath the 14th. Hallelujah. You've got to learn how to endure your Friday until you get to your Saturday. Chapter 14 is where God wants us to get to. And I want to preach to you tonight how to never, ever, ever, ever have to fight another battle in your life. Now, I realize that's a bold statement, but the revelation you're going to get tonight, I want to teach you how to walk. Not to have victories here and victory there between the times when you're not victorious. But I want to teach you tonight how to, your name is victory. Just everything you do is victory. I want to teach you tonight how to end all battles in your life. Notice I didn't say end all attacks. But how to stop every battle. You see, if you're fighting back, it's a battle. If they're fighting you, it's an attack. I come to teach you how to never battle again. I come to teach you tonight how to lead the battle in the hands of the Lord and hold your position. If you're holding the line, you've already won the battle. You don't have to fight, you've got to hold your position. But the reason you can't hold your position, you don't know your position. And this is why we as a people are up one day and down the next. That's why one Sabbath, someone here is the loudest one in the church. And next Sabbath, they don't even come. Up and down, you're worth nothing. The Bible said any man that puts his hand to the plow and ever looks back is not fit. What he said, you ain't worth nothing. Those that are up one day and down the next, it's because you've not learned your position. You ever heard the old people, somebody say, play your position? In other words, stay out of my business, play your position and I'll play mine. Well, God's got a position and so do you. He's a God of war, you're not. Don't you understand? All you've got to do is hold your position. You've got to quit battling everybody that comes to attack you. Let them battle while you watch. That's what you did Linda Andreas. Let them battle while you just hold your position. I come to tell you tonight, you've got a position in God. If you're a covenant keeper, if this is your covenant, you've got a position. It's called the secular, the treasure, the special apple of Yahweh's eye. What you fighting for, what are you battling for? How are you going to get involved in the war when he's a man of war, the Bible said? If he's a warrior, you don't have to be a warrior. You've just got to hold your position. The reason people leave God's church, they don't hold their position. Satan wants your position. You watch a football game, they want to knock you out of your position. But if you'll hold that position, God will do miracles for you. Somebody said, Brother Vaughn, I'm in another battle. You shouldn't be. Why are you battling? But Brother Vaughn, they said this about me. They said that, well until you say something back, it's not a battle. It's not a battle. Because if you know the truth, you just sit there and hold your position. That's all you do. And you just wait for them to all die in the battle. And you'll still be standing if you'll hold your position. Just hold your position with God. Know your position. Don't ever leave it. Amen. I have heard some of the most horrendous lies on me. And when I hear them, people often wonder why. Does he not just say something? Just answer them because I learned years ago, answer them not a word. I learned years ago, if you love me, nobody can turn you against me. If you hate me, nobody can make you love me. I found out that no matter what you say or how you respond, it'll never be right. So you know the truth. Stand in it and wait for God to fight those battles. Hallelujah. I want to show you a man that did that. And I want you to learn from his example tonight. I want you to hear me. You've got a greater position than you know. And when we get to chapter 14 of Isaiah, you're going to know your position. Hallelujah. That's what happens. Do you know that's how Satan destroys the local church? Everybody forgets their position. They'll text you wanting to have a meeting with the elders of the church instead of the pastor. Can I serve notice on everybody? They ain't nothing but one head at this church. Do you understand me? That's the way it's always been, the way it's always going to be. Amen. Hallelujah. Why? I know my position. And I'm going to hold it. Because before you came trying to destroy me, somebody did it before you. And they failed at it. Don't fall out of your position. Hallelujah. Amen. I promise you, you ain't as good as the last person was that tried to get me. No, I've been doing this a long time. I learned a long time ago. If you'll sit down somewhere and shut up. And just keep preaching. Just keep teaching. Just keep pastoring. Just keep loving people. And when God calls you to hold your position. There was a man in the Bible that held his position. His name was Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat was the king of Judah. And one day somebody said, Jehoshaphat, we've got problems. Over in a little place called En Gedi. Now most people don't know where En Gedi is. En Gedi was a back door to Jerusalem that the enemy normally didn't attack through. Normally if you were going to attack Jerusalem, you would come through the gates of the city. Okay. But there was a little place called En Gedi. And there was an army, Sister Max, that decided to attack Jerusalem. And king, the king of Jerusalem. And they decided we're going to come in the back door. They didn't come through the gates. They came through the back door. And Jehoshaphat, he was very worried. He was very scared because he was used to how. I'm so sorry it's so hot in this church tonight. I don't know why. Make sure we get this air on earlier if we can. But listen, Jehoshaphat got a message from the watchman. And he said, Jehoshaphat, there's a great army at En Gedi. At the back door, listen to me. When Satan and when your enemies realize that the old rumors that they used to use on you has quit working, they'll come in the back door and find a new way to get you. All you got to do is keep the back door closed. Keep your nose clean. Oh yeah, seal up the doors. If they think they're going to come through this way, make sure it's clean. If you live clean, you ain't got to ever live scared. Did you hear me? If you live holy, you ain't never got to live scared. No. Just keep every door shut. En Gedi was the back door. And Jehoshaphat didn't really know how to protect that back door. So Jehoshaphat was in trouble. Jehoshaphat was scared. And it seemed like he didn't know how to protect Jerusalem. He felt overwhelmed by this new attack of the enemy. And he knew that the Lord had placed this challenge in his path. It caught him by surprise. Jehoshaphat was minding his business when somebody said, Have you heard what they said about you? He was just busy being the king. He was holding his position. He was just busy writing another book. Or whatever God called him to do. But anytime you're holding your position, the watchmen love to come to you. I'm talking about those that's always, not the good watchmen, but them other watchmen that ain't supposed to be watching. They love to run up to you and tell you what somebody said on Facebook about you. I really do wish y'all would quit. Listen, y'all don't know my favorite button in life. You don't know what it is, do you? It's the block button. I use it all day, every day. I just wish real life had one. Hallelujah. Listen, if somebody's bothering you, if the least little bit, block them. If it don't sit right with you, get that out of your life. Ain't got time for all that. And they love passive aggressiveness. They love to put out a prayer request. Y'all don't know about them disguised prayer requests. It ain't no prayer request. It's them saying something disguised as prayer requests. Would y'all pray for my leaders that they won't abuse me no more? That that ain't a prayer request. Just get on there and say, my pastor is bad. That's all you gotta do. But don't put no prayer request out there. When I see it, I block it. You know why? Because all the enemy needs is to get in this head of mine and convince me that I'm not doing the work of God. Convince me that I need to focus more on pouting sheep instead of teaching the Word. Convince me. Listen, the moment I feel a little unsettled, you go. Why? There's work to be done. I gotta hold my position. I can't allow you to drag me out of my position. And my position at this church and at this ministry is to teach the Word of God. I won't let you stop it. I won't let you hinder it. I won't let you distract me. I teach the Word. That's what I'm here for. That's all I'm gonna do. If you want to know the truth, and let me just might as well tell you the truth. The truth is, my primary calling is not that of a pastor. Now, it may be more of an apostle, someone that plants a new movement or a new work. But I am not Brother Kendrick. Brother Kendrick is a pastor. And he is a gentle shepherd of the sheep. I am someone that teaches the Word and brings truth and revelation to the people. If you ever expect me to be a Brother Kendrick, you're gonna be disappointed all the days of your life. It's just not who I am. It's not who God's called me to be. And Brother Kendrick doesn't have my calling. We are all walking in our calling. And I don't have time to worry about if I hurt your little low-down feelings to stop teaching. I just don't have time for it. I don't have time to worry about who's hurt you. Listen, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. I don't understand, for the life of me, how in the name of God, Yahweh, that some of y'all are truly training for raining. The way you treat one another, the way you talk to one another, I mean, if that's what, if that, listen, you make a joke out of my ministry when you act like regular folks. God's called me to raise up end-time warriors, and not to sit here and coddle your feelings, darling. Now I'm just telling you the truth. I'm never gonna do it. So if you need to be coddled and cuddled, it is the wrong ministry for you. And that's not being ugly. I'm just telling you the truth. If you need me to come kiss on you and slob, I'm never gonna do it. But if you say truth is worth more than gold to me, then I'm your guy, hallelujah. Then I'm your guy, hallelujah. See, I know my position. You gotta know your position. And then you can't let other people drag you out of it. And to be in what you're not. God is calling everyone in this ministry to learn their position. Get in it. And stay in it. So Jehoshaphat is scared. Let's go read 2 Chronicles 20, and three through four. I'm fixing to show you tonight how to walk in victory. I'm gonna show you that Jehoshaphat has the answers that hold your position. Let's read 2 Chronicles 20, three through four. And Jehoshaphat feared and set himself to seek Yahweh. Now did you hear? Jehoshaphat was afraid. They were attacking him. They had said, we're gonna bring you down. We're gonna expose you. Amen. We know! There was a moment of fear. That comes to any man. To say it doesn't is a lie. Satan will bring you fear any way he can, through anyone he can. So tell me what Jehoshaphat did. Read. And he set himself to seek Yahweh. He did what? Set himself to seek Yahweh. The first thing this leader did, he set himself. I love those words. He positioned himself. He set himself to seek, not after his war advisors. No. Not after the captains of his army. Not after the things that he thought would be carnal. But no, immediately, Jehoshaphat set himself to seek after God. Amen. I want you to hear me. When that moment of fear comes in your life, when that attack comes on your marriage, on your finances, on your church, when it comes, the first reaction will determine the final outcome. Your first response will determine your final outcome. And if you decide too quickly how to handle a situation, that situation will handle you. Jehoshaphat set himself to seek after. You know what he did? Let me tell you all something that didn't grow up in the old church. I wish you could have. Let me tell you what it used to be like. Watch this. When somebody had a moment of fear, when somebody heard there was a dying loved one, when someone heard that this was going on, let me tell you what used to happen. They all had a key to the church back then, everybody. And they'd find a corner. And here's all you used to hear. You didn't hear, no, Father God, I come before you and I thank you, Father God, and Father God, and Father God. Oh no, you heard, oh God. Oh God. Oh God, I need you right now. Oh God, oh God, oh God. I don't even know how to pray. I just need you right now. They set themselves to fear God. If you want to know what's wrong with the church today, nobody sets themselves to seek after God. They set themselves to seek after everything but God. But Jehoshaphat set himself. If you've not learned how to travail in the Spirit, if you've not learned how to moan in the Holy Ghost, if you've not learned how to, oh, Brother Vaughn, I need to know how to pray. That's the last thing you need to know. You just need to know to pray. The how don't matter, darling. You ain't got to have the words right or the pattern right. You just got to have the heart right to seek after God. You got to learn to seek after him while he may be found. Jehoshaphat, he just learned that there was coming in the back door. Brother Kendrick, he could have said, call my captains. He could have said, call my counselors. But not Jehoshaphat. He said, grab me by the hand and let's call out to the God of heaven. Does somebody agree with me in prayer right now? I need a miracle and I don't know where to find one. I don't have no miracle in my pocket. I need something. God said, set yourself. I come tonight to teach you how to hold your position. But to get in that position, you got to set yourself into that position. Since I was a young boy, I've been praying to that God day and night, and I know when somebody snuck in our back door in Getty, come against this work and took people out with them and I went to the Lord because I didn't know how to stop it. I didn't know how to respond. I don't have all the answers. I don't have a plan. And that's what got me so upset about Donald Trump. Let me tell you, that man ain't got no plan no more than you. You got a plan. But I know you do the God of heaven. You think a man's got a plan until you hit those knees and say, I don't think he's got a plan. But I know you do. I trust you in your plan. I set myself. During COVID-19, they gave more glory to white hats than they did to God himself. They'll let you talk about the cabal but you try to tell them who's really behind the cabal which is Lucifer himself. They don't want to talk about the real cabal. Why? Because that requires a spiritual mind. The Bible said the carnal mind cannot understand the things of the spirit. That's why I'm not part of their little circuit anymore because I wouldn't get involved with their white hats and their black hats and their cats. My faith is in a sovereign God that sits high and looks low and he holds the heart of the king in his hand. You had more faith in the military than you did in the God of heaven. It was out of worship is what it was and I never participated. You know why? I knew there's only one plan. It was written in the Mazaroth before the world began and that plan is coming to pass perfectly perfectly. Amen. Set yourself to seek God. Set yourself to seek God. Tell me what else happened brother Morgan. And he and he proclaimed a fast through all Judah. See how do I hold my position? You got to have a position first. You cannot hold a position that you've not first created and until your position is trusting in God you can't hold that position. The reason Satan steals your position you have not said it. You could drag me out of this church with a million chains. My feet are set in truth and no triviality matters anymore than truth. My feet are set. There's some of you sitting here now you won't be here next year. You know why? You're not set. I done prophesied everybody that's left here I told you they's leaving two weeks before they left. Why? I see it in the eye. They're losing their footing. The minute you start withdrawing from the congregation you're losing your footing. The minute you don't want to talk to the pastor you just want to pray about it. Brother Vine I talk to God I won't talk to man. I want to tell you every one of you something. The seeds of rebellion are planted when you fail to hear the voice of God in the voice of man. Always. You better learn that God takes a man and speaks through him. So while you're listening for the voice of God you miss the voice of God. God's calling you to hear the word that comes forth through flawed men through imperfect men. God will raise up anybody that will just let him speak through them. Hold your position. Read to me what else he did now. Verse 4 And Judah gathered themselves together. And now what happened? Prayer fasting and then they gathered what? Themselves together. Come on. Somebody say unity. Unity. Amen. You better hold the position of unity. Prayer fasting and then call the church together. But see if you want to know when the church is about to be destroyed it's when the people quit gathering and they start going their own way. And they gathered their self together to ask help of Yahweh. They came together in unity to ask for help. They didn't just they didn't go to the war room to say does Trump have a plan? Does the military have a plan? Does X-22 have a plan? Does Simon Park have a plan? Let me stop right there. Do they have a plan? Everything they told you failed. Failed. Do I need to say it for the live audience? Everything they told you failed. What made me white that they said what happened that happened. You know why? They weren't said in prayer. They were built in followings on emotions. Cartomize! They don't want to hear this truth. If you want to hold this nation it will be because we come together to ask for help from Yahweh. You notice none of them podcasters called for a prayer meeting. I'm telling you I'm telling you that's the reason my following is falling off because I'm telling you you follow the plan instead of calling the people together to ask for help. Nobody asked him for help because there was a plan. And let me tell you what Yahweh allowed to happen to every one of those plans because you didn't call him for help. He allowed them to all look like fools. If God can't help America America cannot be helped. I know we've depended on ourselves and God's calling you to set yourself to ask for help. In your own life you better set yourself to everyday ask for help. You can't get that job I need help with it Lord. I gotta have your help. I can't do it on my own. I need your help today. Could you help me? When somebody calls me or sends me an inbox about somebody else in the church that said something I literally ask my wife what I do. I throw the phone out help I don't know what to do help me Lord. You gave me a broadcast that reaches 20,000 people I don't know how to organize I don't know I just ask God did my God help me or something. But that's the reason I'm still standing. Cause I called out for help. When you call out for help help is on the way. I hope you heard we got thunderable satire. When you call out for help help is on the way. Help is on the way. Hold your position. I need help. I can't do this on my own. Thunderable satire. Somebody needs to cry out help me sir. Help me sir. I need help. In the old black churches they said help me sir. Help me. That's all they knew how to say help. Why? Cause I don't have a plan and the one I had fell apart. I just need a little help. I'm gonna position myself for help. You see I'm gonna confess something to you. People like me and brother Nash people like me and brother Nash we have a problem with that part. You know why? We got a pretty good head on our shoulders. We know how to make things happen. Oh yeah. We know how to make it happen. You hear me? We know how to brother Nash knows how if there's a problem and I'm the same way I'm not trying to float my boat but there's not pretty much anything I can't figure out. And that's a weakness. That weakness has put me in prison for three years. That's a weakness. Because men like us it's hard for us to ask for help. Cause we honestly think we can save the Lord some time cause we got a plan already. I'm telling you now I ain't throwing him under the bus I'm throwing me under the bus. But there's very little I can't figure out. And so it is hard for me sometimes just to ask the Lord before I figure it out to help me with it. And let me tell you how that's turned out a few times. Position yourself in a helpless position. I don't know how to handle this. I really don't know how to handle it. And when you set yourself for help I swear to you help is on the way. Help is on the way. I said help is on the way. I come to tell you help is on the way for somebody tonight. All you gotta do is ask for it. You gotta lay down that pride and ask for it. Oh, help me Lord. Hallelujah. They're attacking me and in getting they're coming in a new way. I never had it like this. I don't know what to do. I need you to help me. Jehoshaphat was a great warrior. But when they said they coming in the back door he said call the church together. Y'all don't remember them all night prayer meetings. Call the church together. We need help. And we don't know how else to get it. But I heard in the word when Daniel asked for help. The angel said it was on the way the first time you asked for it. I just needed you to keep asking so I could keep fighting and get your help to you. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. See there's a teaching in the land ask once and don't ask no more. That's a demonic teaching. Daniel prayed every day. And the angel said I heard you the first time you prayed. But when I heard you pray again I had strength to fight the prince of Persia. When you prayed again I had more strength to fight the prince of Persia. Don't ever stop asking for help. I need your help. If your marriage needs help ask for him to help it. Oh brother Vaughn we just need a good marriage counselor. I know one. Grab your wife by the hand. Could you help us Lord? Could you help us Lord? We need a little help. Help. Position your marriage. Position it. Read. We still got to get to chapter 14. We haven't started there. And Judah gathered themselves together. And the church came together. To ask help of Yahweh. They asked for help. My wife y'all my wife I promise you sometimes I don't get aggravated at her. But this woman anything she starts asking the Lord for help. I'm telling you if I just mention that my stomach is hurting Oh help him Lord. Do not get around her talking about something wrong. Oh come on Lord. Lord right now I praise you. She learned that secret from my mom and her daddy. Help me Lord. I don't know what else to do but help me. You better get pride will stop you from asking for help. But brother Vaughn I've done ask. Ask again. The woman with the unjust judge. Knock knock. Hey I know you heard me. Knock. Hey dude. I know you heard me. I'm back again. And he said because of your constant asking I'm going to give you what you asked for. Don't ever stop asking for help. Except you become as a little child. I'm telling you my children I send them cash apps when they because they don't ask me 30 times. I'm sick of being asked here. There's your $30. Leave me alone. Ever could you accept that daddy? I've ignored him all day. Could you accept that? Caitlyn Caitlyn need shoes. Could you accept that real quick? I keep ignoring them. Ding. Ding ding. Could you accept that real quick? And then I get one from Pat. I had to buy this. I had to buy that. Boom. Bam. Boom. I'm reimbursing her. Yeah. You know why? Them kids know what you don't know. They can wear you down. You can wear God down. Keep asking because as you know it's not that listen to me. It's not that God needs you to keep asking. It's that you need to stay positioned. Stay in your position. Your position is what? The clay. He's the what? You the what? Stay in your position. Keep asking. Read for me. Even out of all the cities of Judah they come to seek Yahweh. Now is that verse 4? Yes. Let's go down to verse 12. Now I want you to listen. What Jehoshaphat did after they prayed. Listen. Oh our God Yahweh wilt thou not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us. Neither know we what to do. But our eyes are upon thee. Oh hallelujah. We don't know what to do. Oh yeah we got a great army but we don't know what to do. So we're going to set our eyes on you. The Bible said look under the heels from which cometh your what? Your help. Can somebody scream out help me? That's all it takes. And then help is on the way. Oh! But listen to what he said in verse 12. We set our eyes upon you. We don't set our eyes upon this army. All he had to do was look out and see them. But he set his eyes on his help. I don't care how big the problem is in your life. Where you set your eyes is where you focus. I don't care how broke you are. If you'll set your eyes on Jehovah Rapha your provider. If you'll set your eyes on him you won't even know you're broke. You'll be standing at the checkout line with no money and somebody will swipe their card for you. Amen. You don't even know it. He'll help you. Sister Carolyn he helped you tonight. He'll help you. He'll help you. Brother Ricky you take her get her a car this week. Okay. Under $10,000. Make sure it runs the babies ain't on the road. And a bad car. Now let's read verse 14 and I'm getting ready to no I'm not. Go ahead. Verse 14 they don't need a line. Then upon Jehaziel the son of Zechariah the son of Benaniah the son of Jael the son of Skip all them sons. Yeah. The son of the son of Skip all them sons. Let's get to the good stuff. Came the spirit of Yahweh. Now here came the spirit. Listen. They had to position themselves. They had to come together in unity. Yes. Under godly authority their King Jehoshaphat. And after that here came once they came here something came. Once they set themselves in a position for help the Bible said the spirit of Yahweh came in the midst of the congregation. In the midst. I want to tell you something. This new way of teaching that you don't need to be part of the church. Anytime Yahweh ever moved it was in the midst of the congregation. Satan has entered these preachers to convince you you don't need a pastor you don't need a man you just need God. God has never worked in that way. He has always had a man that he uses for his word to come forth. And the Bible said that when the church got in their position everybody everybody Jehoshaphat was king they wasn't. Do I need to break that down? The king said The king said let's do this the whole congregation said let's do it. They didn't ask for no board meeting. They didn't ask who authorized it. They knew they had heard the voice of God. And the Bible said they came together. And then when they did the spirit of Yahweh showed up. Read. And he said hearken ye and all Judah and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem you asked for help you prayed you came together in unity. Listen to what I've got to tell you. And thou king Jehoshaphat thus saith the Lord unto you be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude for the battle is not yours the battle but Yahweh's. I told you I'm going to teach you tonight how to never battle again. You don't have to battle. You just got to position yourself in the battle. You just got to find your place in the battle. And if you get in the battle God will fight the battle for you. They got in position and God got into shape and came down and told them it's not your battle. Don't be afraid. Tell them what else he said. Tomorrow Tomorrow But, but, but, but, but, but, but I thought the battle wasn't ours. And yet he's given them instructions what to do. But notice what their instructions were. I need you to read it now. Tomorrow All I want you to do I don't want you to bring no swords. I don't want you to bring no response on Facebook. I don't want you to go find out what they're saying about you. I don't want you to get involved in the tit for tat. No, all I want you to do is exactly what I tell you. I want you to go down in faith and face the enemy. Because you can't get rid of your enemy. They're going to always be there. He said I want you to not be afraid of them. He said I just want you to go down and let them know that you're not hiding. Don't get it twisted. Just because I'm not fighting doesn't mean I'm hiding. Listen to what he told them. Go ye down against them. Behold they come. They come up by the cliff of Ziz. He said I'll tell you what he said. I'm going to tell you what they're going to do. I'm telling you where they're going to meet at. And I'm telling you who all is going to be in the meeting. I'll tell on them so you can know that the battle is not yours. You can't stop the attack but you can stop the battle. My God from Mount Zion you cannot stop the attack but you can stop the war. You just got to know that you know that you ask for help and help's on the way. Stand still I said no. Stand still. Tell me what else he said before I go home. And ye shall find them at the end of the brook. Read before the wilderness of Jeruel. He said I'm going to tell you their plans. And I'm going to have somebody in the midst of them that's running you down. Come to you and run them down. I'm going to find a spy that's been listening to them run you down. And all of a sudden they're going to come to you and run them down and tell you what they're planning. Just hold your peace. Hold your position. He said after I tell you their plans I don't want you to pull out no sword. I don't want you to fight back. I don't want you to say well somebody tell me I don't want you to do all that. You don't respect me. Don't do all that. You ain't going to welcome me. Don't do all that. Well you did this to me and hurt my feelings. Don't do all that. None of it. Do you remember what you did to me? Don't do all that. He said here's all I want you to do. Read. You shall not need to fight. No you ain't going to need to fight. But you do have to face them. But you ain't got to fight. Here's what you got to do. Read. Set yourself. Set yourself. Stand ye still. Stand still. And see the salvation of Yahweh. And see what the Lord is going to do. Set yourself means hold your position. Set yourself means stand still. The Bible said having done all to stand. Brother Vaughn. Brother Vaughn I'm not making no progress. He never said make progress. Here's what he said. Stand. Having done all. All you got to do is keep standing. Hold your position. Never lose your faith. Never give up. Never lose your hope. Never. Always know that God's got it. And once you know that you know. Have you ever seen somebody put something on Facebook and say if you know, you know. There's some people in this room tonight. If you know. You know. You know that when the battle is over you shall wear a crown. When this battle is over you shall wear a crown. When the enemy is finished you will see the smoke of the enemy. You will see your enemies fall at your feet. Is that it? Woo. Breathe. With you oh Judah and Jerusalem, fear not. Fear not. Nor be dismayed. Don't be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them. Tomorrow go out but don't fight. For Yahweh will be with you. Yahweh will be with you. I want you to read one more verse as we shut down tonight. I never did get to Isaiah. But read the verse 17 of the self-saying chapter. Verse 17. 2 Chronicles 20. Is that verse 17? Oh okay. Listen to me carefully. God's calling you tonight to walk forth in faith. You don't need a plan. You don't even need to know how it's going to go. You just got to hold your position. What does that mean? Your faith is the only position that's worth dying for. Your faith is the only position that's worth never giving up. I don't care how bad your life gets. I don't care how dark your road gets. Set yourself and don't ever turn around. Give God a shout of praise. Now listen. Hold on Brother Morgan. Come here. We can still go home. But I want you to read Brother Morgan. I'm done now. I'm going to be done. But I got to read you something. Read verse number 21. Oh this is too good not to read. No. Don't sit down. Listen. I'm about done. Stand on your feet. Read. If I got to stand, you got to stand. Read verse 21. 2 Chronicles 20. And when he had consulted with the people. Now! When he consulted with the people. He appointed singers unto Yahweh. Hold on. I need you to listen now. Singers. There are many of you watching me live right now. And there are many in this local church. You still don't get the revelation of why I make you dance before Yahweh. You still don't get it. You don't understand it. But once you know that Jehoshaphat, when God told them how it was going to work out. He said now if you believe it, I want you to act like you believe it. I want you to act like you believe it. I want you to act like it. I want you to walk like it. I want you to talk like it. Talk like it. If you believe it, shout yeah. If you believe it, shout it out! If you believe it, shout it out! Yeah! Do you believe you've got the victory? Do you believe the battle is won? Hold on, verse 21, Ruth. Hold on, we're gonna let you go. Woo! Ruth! He appointed singers unto Yahweh. Appoint me some singers. Well, the body don't take all that. Appoint me some singers. Well, where's our sword? Appoint me singers. I don't need swords. Whoa! Praise her. Praise her. You said go down to the battle. Where's our sword? Appoint me a singer. Oh, hallelujah. Read. And that should praise the beauty of holiness. And appoint me some praisers. Read. As they went out before the army. And they're gonna go out before the army. And to say, praise Yahweh for His mercy endureth forever. He said, all I need you to do is if you believe that I'm gonna fight this battle, lay down your sword and pick up your dagger. Somebody up. Right now. Somebody lay down your sword. Somebody pick up your dagger. Somebody lay down your sword. Pick up your dagger. Come on, come on, come on. Lay down your sword. Lay down your sword. You don't need a sword. You just need a shout.

Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah. I wanna tell you something. Hold on. We're gonna do it for, we may do it all night. Listen to me. How many of you know the Laquire family? Yes! I wanna tell you something. Those people came to the Feast of Tabernacles about to lose everything they owned. You don't know this story, I knew it the whole time. They have a mansion that their father left for them, an inheritance, lots of money. They was about to lose it all because a city inspector hated them. He thought maybe they were the new polygamist in town or whatever. He didn't want them in town. They came and put on their house big yellow stickers said that this property is deserted and uninhabitable and I've never seen a more beautiful mansion in all my life. Across their home was yellow stickers that told the neighbors that these people, they're trash. You don't know what that family went through. And I want to tell you what happened, I want you to hear me. Brother John Laquire came up to me with tears in his eyes that first night of Tabernacles and told me what was going on. I've never seen the man cry before but he was about to lose it all. The city inspector can condemn your place and it's done, do you understand? It's done. You have no recourse, do you understand me? And they had called him at Tabernacles and said we've got a warrant that we are fixing a break in your home. They called him and said we don't care if you're here or not, we're going in tomorrow. And Brother Laquire came to me with tears in his eyes said pastor, we're about to lose everything for our family and I'm telling you if I didn't hear the voice of Yahweh say to him you will lose nothing. And this man, I want you to hear me now, this man that is anything, they ain't nothing like us. They don't dance in church. They don't shout. This is all silly. I want to tell you what happened. I looked out, I was standing at Tabernacles and I saw somebody running around that church and he had his little wife and all 10 children by the hand and something that looked so foolish. My God, he won the victory. That night, God gave them victory. Right then, right now, they danced their way. They danced their way out of trouble. They danced their way out. When I saw, when I saw them running, I got a little videotape. When I saw them running, I said on the microphone, the battle was just won. They called me two or three days ago. They said to Brother Vaughn, we don't know what happened, but when they came to the property, they laughed. Everything is perfect. God worked it out. If you need a miracle, dance for it right now. It looks foolish. It looks foolish. I know it looks foolish. I know it looks foolish. Come on, I know it looks foolish. I know it looks foolish. But God said if you trust me, praise me, and I'll fight the battle. I got a feeling, I got a feeling, everything's gonna be all right. I got a feeling, I got a feeling, everything's gonna be all right. I got a feeling, I got a feeling, everything's gonna be all right. It's gonna be all right, be all right, be all right. I got a feeling, I got a feeling, everything's gonna be all right. Oh, I've got a feeling everything's gonna be all right I've got a feeling everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be all right, be all right, be all right I've got a feeling everything's gonna be all right All right, all right, all right, all right, all right All right, all right, all right, all right, all right All right, all right, all right, all right I want you to go down to En Gedi And there's a great big army They got sword, weapons, spears And here comes the Lord's army They come down to face En Gedi And here they get ready for him to pull out the sword And they pull out the songbook They get ready to fight And these crazy nuts Is getting ready to dance You know why? They know they can't fight Might as well trust the Lord And they begin to dance before the Lord And the Lord worked it all out If you'll read the rest of that story The Bible said When the people began to dance That the army turned on themselves I want to tell you what your enemies will do If you'll trust the Lord Before long your enemies will be enemies with one another They'll turn on themselves That's right That's right Oh yeah They'll turn on themselves And you'll still be somewhere Yes I just want to read this one verse real quick Psalms 34, 20, 21 It says the evil shall slay the wicked They'll slay themselves Yeah, so The evil will slay the wicked The evil will slay the wicked All you gotta do is dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance All night All night When I think of His goodness What is that to me? When I think of His goodness I set me free
