Part 9 - Construction Continues: The Wonder Of It All

Construction Continues: The Wonder Of It All Part 9 — January 3, 2026 Rev. John Shane Vaughn — First Harvest Ministries International ________________ 1 Jeremiah 31:12; tomorrow is bowling — at what time? Sister Kimmy's already left; what time? Noon; 11; they want everybody there at 11:00 in the morning. 2 If you are going bowling with us tomorrow, praise the Lord; Jeremiah 31:12; if you do not know where we are going, get with the sisters and they will tell you; praise the Lord. 3 Oh, therefore — I tell thee what, let us start at verse; I like all these verses; let us start at verse number 10. 4 Hear the word of Yahweh, O nations, and declare it in the isles, a far off, and say, he who scattered Israel will gather him and keep him; I love that part; hallelujah. 5 He will keep Israel as a shepherd keepeth his flock; for Yahweh hath redeemed Jacob and ransomed him from the hands of him who was stronger than he. 6 Therefore, verse 12, they will come and sing in the heights of Zion — amen; and I want thee to highlight this in thy mind; and will flow together to the righteousness of Yahweh for wheat and wine and oil. 7 For the young of the flock and the herd, they will be like a well-watered garden and they will sorrow no more at all; I want to read one more line there in verse 12; and they will flow together; hallelujah; amen. 8 Father, thy servant is humble before thee today; I understand that this desk is not my own; I understand that I am a custodian of this desk; and I bring thy word to thy people; what an honor. 9 What — what an austere privilege it is to stand where I stand; for yea, this desk is more important than the president of the United States; it is from this desk that the revelation of eternity is given to us all. 10 I ask thee to anoint the lips of thy unprofitable servant and the ears of thy people; help thy humble servant; help me, because on my own I am nothing but a broken man. 11 But when thy voice borroweth mine, it is done on earth as it is in heaven; in the name of Yeshua we pray; amen. 12 I want thee to notice as we talk about — thou mayest be seated; construction continues on the seventh temple; God is building the seventh temple right now. 13 And I want thee to notice the verse I just read to thee happened to be Sister Ruth Heflin's favorite verse; she would quote it every time she would look across the congregation and somebody was not dancing. 14 She would end the — she would kill the music and read that verse; amen, amen; it was her favorite verse; and she said, hold on now, is Israel flowing together? Amen. 15 Sister Ruth would say, it seemeth not that Israel's flowing together; that was — see, me and her were total opposite; I'd be like, get up and dance; it seemeth not that Israel is flowing together; hallelujah; amen. 16 And thou knewest right then she was talking to thy lazy behind; hallelujah; because Sister Ruth discovered something that was — that hath never been discovered before. 17 She discovered that until Israel flows together, they never find the oil, the wheat, and the wine; amen, hallelujah. 18 And I have come to tell thee what Yahweh is building in this last hour, in this last moment, is the seventh temple; but this temple must flow together. 19 And I promise thee, if someone is not willing to flow with us, they will flow away from us; thou understandest? There is no room in this congregation for anyone that is not ready to flow together. 20 Where one goeth, we all go; what one doeth, we all do; why? Israel is flowing together; we are a ministry of togetherness. 21 Now, one of the things thou wilt fight when thou movest here — and as so many of thee have moved here — thou hast come from churches that practice this dogma; they taught thee to come as thou art and worship God in thine own way. 22 And they also taught thee that thou canst do thine own thing; there is no pressure here; thou worshippest God how thou seest fit. 23 Well, when thou comest here, we do not adhere to that doctrine because we do not believe thou hast a say in the matter; we do not believe that thou art thine own; we believe thou wast bought with a price and that thou no longer hast a choice in how thou art going to worship God; oh, no. 24 Thou wilt either do it by the book or he said they worship me in vain; in vain do they worship me? If thy worship is not biblical, it is not worship; and the Bible telleth thee exactly how to worship God. 25 And it is — it is one word; art thou ready? Together; that is right; everything we do at this ministry, we work together; yes, sir. 26 We go to the land, we work together; we eat together; we struggle together; we go through the challenges of life together; we hurt together; we rejoice together; we pray together. 27 Oh, we do not gossip together, but we do everything together; and I have come to tell thee today, if thou figurest out how to flow together, that congregation will find the wine, the wheat, and the oil. 28 What is that? A euphemism for the blessings of God; hallelujah; I do not know if thou knowest it or not, but a congregation this size should not have the blessings that we have; amen; apostle; amen; thou art right. 29 Most churches today are begging for money to pay the light bill; yes, sir; they take up four offerings to pay the insurance; yes, sir. 30 We have never raised an offering in this church for anything; not one time; except for people — for people to help people; but for this church and for this ministry, we have — why? Because we have flowed together to the oil, the wine; we are blessed; why? Because we are in unity; we are in perfect unity. 31 And I have come to tell thee — the seventh temple of Yahweh, there must come a flowing together; most people have no desire, Sister Chafflet, to flow together; everybody — everybody is their own individual; there is no room for individuality in the work of God. 32 We become one temple fitly joined together; hallelujah, hallelujah; if thou dost not do it that way, thou wilt never find the wheat, the wine, and the oil. 33 And if thou art in here today and thou hast got a mind of thine own — I am my own man — then thou art in the wrong church; because none of us here are our own; we have been bought with a price and we have been placed into the temple of the living God. 34 We surrendered ourselves unto one another — that verse — look up submitting yourselves one to another; I believe it is First Thessalonians, but let us find it; I want to show thee a principle today. 35 And I want thee to understand — when I first went to Sister Heflin's ministry, I was just like every one of thee were; I was my own man and I did it my way until I saw in her assembly. 36 Dost thou know why everybody went to Sister Ruth's campground? It is still going today, but it is nothing now that she is gone; but the reason they came — when I say they came from the nations, they came from — thou wouldest go to camp meeting; their camp meeting is ten weeks long. 37 Now listen to me; I want y'all to listen; for all of thee that think — where is Callie? She needeth to hear this; for all of thee that think I work thee too hard. 38 Before we read this verse — when thou goest to camp in Virginia, thou pullest up and there is a registration office; thou goest in, thou signest in, they give thee thy sheets and thy washcloths because everybody stays free; it is dormitories. 39 And so thou gettest in there and thou thinkest, oh, praise God, I got some free lodging for a few weeks, right? Time to go to work; I am here to get in the glory. 40 Oh, and five o'clock in the morning, that bell rings; thou hearest it all over the campground and thou art like, what is that? Time to get up; go feed him out; hallelujah. 41 It is time to wake up across — I am talking hundreds of people; amen; thousand people; everybody waking up at the same time; yes, sir; flowing together. 42 And we all head to the breakfast barn; and there was breakfast that somebody had woke up at two o'clock; that is right; and cooked for all the saints; oh yeah. 43 And when we got in there to eat breakfast, once breakfast was done, then there was a chore list on the board for — for thy free stay that thou thoughtest thou hadst; hallelujah. 44 And we got out there and raked leaves and painted barns and and worked; but there was a glory upon that camp; hallelujah; even while we was working, we were in the glory; hallelujah; there was a unity they had found. 45 And then — then after thou hast worked all morning, it is time for the first service at ten o'clock; amen; after prayer, ten o'clock. 46 That service — y'all see how y'all was all passed out in the spirit? They would do that for hours; ten o'clock and then thou dismissedst about two o'clock, but the afternoon service starteth at three; yes, sir; hallelujah. 47 And all them workers — three o'clock the next service starteth and thou hadst better be dancing just as hard as thou wast in the ten o'clock service. 48 Now, we did get by with it during the day services; Mother Ruth did not come except the night service; so we would sort of get a little lazy and then Sister Jane Louderder would come in, her assistant, and act like she was Sister Ruth and we would have to dance again. 49 And so we would be dancing and suddenly the weariness of work fell away; amen; we had found the oil, the wheat, and the wine because we flowed together; hallelujah; we found it; oh, hallelujah. 50 And then the service ended around five o'clock; but the problem is the evening service starteth at eight; hallelujah; now thou hast got to run to the cafeteria for dinner. 51 And all them people that hath been cooking, they have got to be at the eight o'clock service just like they was at the ten; and and suddenly when we get out of service, thou runnest and takest a bath in the cold shower because the dormitories had no hot water. 52 But thou wast flowing, flowing, flowing, flowing; thou wast flowing in a realm the world knoweth nothing about; unity; unity; unity. 53 And then that evening — and some of the people that hath been there, like Laura — my wife knoweth her — they have been there for decades and never left; they found something the world knoweth nothing about; unity, flowing together to the oil, the wheat, and the wine. 54 And then at the eight o'clock service — I forgot to tell y'all — all of this is being done outside in the July heat; no air conditioning in the services; amen. 55 And that is why when I see y'all complain, I just want to just really be smart aleck to thee; come on; amen; amen; oh, he is working; thou dost not know work; amen. 56 And when thou dost not understand the beauty of working together, thou wilt not experience the beauty of flowing together; there is a blessing among the people of God when we find that unity; and this ministry hath found it. 57 And that is why this ministry cannot be destroyed because they did not understand we were flowing together; hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah; blessed be his name; hallelujah. 58 There is a reason that unity precedeth abundance; if thou wantest abundance in this ministry — never; those watching me on Zoom, never become disunited from the fellowship; ever, ever, ever, ever. 59 We find out that Yahweh hath to have a temple on earth; and there is a reason he hath to have a temple because he gave man dominion over the earth; Psalms 115, verse 16. 60 It is my desire that this ministry — if thou wilt never ever ever become disunited, nothing will destroy thee; nothing; when we flow together; hallelujah. 61 And I will tell thee after five years, I am beginning to see that unity developing among this people all over the nation, all over the world; I am beginning to see it from the pastor's wife, the elders, the bishops, all of us down — one people, one mind, one accord, flowing together. 62 Yes, sir — not disunited in our own little spiritual worlds; but one body, one people, following one leader and one word and one message; when we get there, nothing can destroy us; nothing. 63 There must be the flowing together; what doth that mean? Thou dost not pop in and out when thou wantest to; thou be there; why? Thou art flowing together; thou hast found the blessing, the blessings and the unity; amen. 64 Read Psalms 115, verse 16; amen; the heaven, even the heavens are Yahweh's, but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 65 The earth doth not belong to God even though he owneth it; that is something people have never understood; there must be a temple on earth or he hath no access to his planet. 66 I do not know if thou understandest this or not; if I own a house and I lease it out, I have no entrance to that house; I am not allowed — I am not allowed to go to a house that I own and walk in the door; that is right. 67 If there is a lease on that home — because even though I am the owner, I am no longer the administrator; hallelujah; amen. 68 Yahweh owneth this planet, but he hath no access to it; amen; hallelujah; why? He gave it to Satan; yes, sir; he gave it to Lucifer and made Lucifer the god of this world; amen. 69 If thou dost not have my book, Before the Beginning, it is all in there; amen; brothers and sisters, that planet without a temple on it — say it — Yahweh doth not show up; he cannot show up. 70 Why? Because he is a God of legality and law and order; and he gave this planet to Satan; and therefore, if he gaineth legal access to the planet, it will be because he sought for a man and found one; hallelujah, hallelujah. 71 The reason he created Adam was so that Adam would take dominion away from Lucifer and give God access to his own creation; hallelujah. 72 Hast thou ever wondered why God — how many have ever heard it said? Why doth God allow all of this and all of that? Thou poor pitiful creature; he alloweth it because it is like renting a house from somebody and asking why thou lettest the water pipes bust, thou dummy. 73 Thou didst not let the water — thou didst not run it during the winter; why didst thou let the mold take over? Why didst thou let the floors fall apart? He gave it to thee; hallelujah. 74 Why would God allow war? God hath not allowed no war; he allowed thee to do whatever thou wantedst to do; and thou decidedst to go to war; yep; that is it. 75 We are the only creatures in the whole wide world that art so dumb that we are preparing to destroy our entire species with nuclear weapons; we are the dumbest creatures that God ever created; the dogs do not destroy themselves; amen. 76 We the only people that art going to destroy our own species if Messiah doth not return; that is right, that is right. 77 I told every one of thee a month ago, I said Donald Trump is going to get Maduro; told thee on November the thirtieth; it is in my blog; we have got the receipts; I said Donald Trump is legally going to get Maduro; and he did it today. 78 Now, let me tell thee that could trigger war; we do not understand; we are the only creatures that art ready to destroy our — do y'all think we built nuclear weapons just to look at them? Yes, sir; no. 79 The fallen angels taught us how to make them so we could wipe ourselves out; yes, sir, child; we do not know how to make nuclear weapons, but they do; yes, sir. 80 And so they find engineers and teach them how to make these weapons; why? Because if they do not plan to be replaced — I am talking about fallen angels — if they do not want to be replaced, then all thou hast to do is wipe out the replacement, the sons of Adam; amen. 81 Get them to kill their own selves and thou keepest thy planet; oh, hallelujah; that is why if I do not return, there will be no flesh left alive; I am coming back at a moment when I can preserve my temple; hallelujah, hallelujah. 82 So why doth God need a temple? It is his access to his earth; because without a prayer warrior, it cannot be done on earth as it is in heaven; thou understandest, right? Yes, sir. 83 Thou seest, when God laid that on Mother's heart today to pray, that was a message that came from heaven and sought for a man; thou understandest? Hallelujah. 84 God saw what was about to happen and sought for a man or a woman; and I believe God is well aware of the ones that will listen to him; and he sought out a woman and said, pray. 85 Why? Because that boy is in trouble and he is mine; and I — my angels do not go until they hear the voice of the word; it is the voice of prayer that moveth angels. 86 We read that last week in Psalms 119, verse 20; it is not — good prayer, Pastor Vaughn, I do not know how to pray; I am telling thee, my grandmother prayed all day and all night; and here is how she prayed — oh Lord; that was it. 87 Oh, and she had a vibrato in her voice; oh Lord; God doth not need thee to know what to say; he needeth thee to open thy mouth and just say, oh Lord, oh Lord, have thy way; have thy way. 88 He needeth thee to walk around thy house just saying, oh Lord, oh Lord, I do not know what to say, but oh Lord, oh Lord, use my voice. 89 And then the old-timers used to say something that I did not understand; I do not think they understood it; I understand it now; the old prayer warriors used to say this all the time — I got on my nerves; I heard it every day; I did not understand it until this message. 90 They would say these words — have thy way, Lord; have thy way; have thy way, Lord; have thy way, Lord; let it be done on earth; have thy way, Lord; have thy way, Lord; have thy way, Lord; have thy way; I do not have the answer, but have thy way. 91 Thou knowest what happeneth when thou sayest, have thy way? Thou knowest what happeneth if thou art renting the house just to test and thou hast got the lease to the house and thy pipes break? Watch this; thou needest them pipes fixed. 92 Here is what thou hast got to do; thou hast got to call the landlord; that is called prayer; and thou hast got to say, sir, if thou wilt come to my house, I will open the door for thee and let thee come in and have thy way. 93 Somebody say, have thy way, Lord; have thy way; have thy way; hallelujah. 94 I want to tell y'all something; thou hearest me now? All the knowledge that thou art getting in this hour, the old-timers had it; they just did not know what they had; because just by saying, have thy way, Lord, they already knew that all their voice had to do was say, have thy way; hallelujah. 95 Landlord, my pipes are broke and thou canst not come in unless I open the door; every one of thee are legal citizens of planet earth; and I have got news for thee; if nobody in that house that thou hast rented will open the door — come on — amen. 96 The pipes are not getting fixed; but I believe that God preserved a remnant so he would have somebody in the house that would open the door and say, have thy way, Lord. 97 Those of thee watching me today, thou dost not know how to pray; do not worry about it; walk around thy house; have thy way, Lord; have thy way, Lord. 98 And then the old-timers said, and then they would go into — oh; oh; oh, God; that would scare me to death; waking me up in the middle of the night; oh; oh. 99 That what? Let me tell thee what thou art doing; thou art opening the door; thou art opening the door; thou art saying not my will but thy will be done; I felt them cords rip; I cannot do that; hallelujah, hallelujah. 100 He will never override Yahweh; he will never override his own delegation; the reason Mary had to have a son; the reason the Holy Ghost orchestrated his birth was so he could find somebody that would open the door; hallelujah. 101 There had to be a boy that would go to a cross and say, have thy way; have thy way; not my will but thine be done; have thy way, Lord; have thy way, Lord. 102 Thou art the one that openeth the door to God himself; that is why the Bible said praying always; why? Somebody hath got to open the door. 103 I believe when Mother Kendrick called on us to pray today, I believe with all my heart that whatever was supposed to have happened would have happened; come on now; amen. 104 But somebody say, come on in, Lord; we need thee, Lord; come on; send those angels, Lord; send them by my way; hallelujah. 105 Minister Ryan, silence on earth equaleth inactivity in heaven; Daniel prayed; he went and opened the door; yes, sir; for the angels and they started rushing; the angels — at the first time thou prayedst, we started rushing. 106 But see, some of y'all have been taught a wrong doctrine; and I am fixing to clear it up for thee; how many have ever heard somebody tell thee — when thou prayest for something, leave it alone; do not pray for it no more because that meaneth thou dost not believe? 107 That is a lie from the pits of hell; honey, thou hadst better pray until it happeneth; thou hast got to pray until it happeneth; thou art the ones that keepeth the door open with prayer. 108 They will tell thee, pray for it and then do not pray for it no more; it is already done; no, it is not; because the first prayer started war in the heavens; thou understandest? 109 The second prayer, the third prayer, the fourth prayer; thou hast got to pray; I said thou hast got to pray until something happeneth; thou hast got to push, push, push until something happeneth; hallelujah. 110 Thou hast got to push, push, push, pray until something happeneth on the — what would have happened if Daniel would have quit praying on the twentieth day? 111 The prince of Persia would have won; I want to tell every one of thee something; God is all powerful, but he is not — he is not a dominating dictator; he will not come into a world that doth not welcome him. 112 That is why he said, build me a temple; light the menorah; bring out the bread; let me know. 113 But dost thou know why this — dost thou know why this stood before the holy of holies? Because until thou grabbedst a hold of the horns of the altar, thou couldest not find the oil, the wheat, the wine, the blessings of the Lord. 114 Thou hast got to pray — the moment thou gettest — I want thee to remember when thou getteth tired of praying; hell is not tired of fighting; thou hadst better remember that; hallelujah. 115 Pastor, I have been praying for it for twenty years; what if thou quitest before year twenty-one? Daniel prayed twenty-one days; he prayed; and if he was like some of thee, thou knowest what he would have done? God is not listening. 116 But the angel showed up; finally; somebody say, finally; and the angel said, Daniel, I heard thee the first time thou openedst the door. 117 I want thee to notice — before Daniel prayed, thou mayest not realize this, but before Daniel prayed, the Bible said that he went to his windows and opened them up; it was a prophetic gesture of him opening up the earth unto heaven. 118 That is why prayer mattereth; that is why decree mattereth; this is why the enemy wanteth thee silent. 119 The enemy doth not fear thy faith; I want everybody to hear me now; the devil doth not; Satan hath faith; the Bible saith it; the Bible said the devil believeth in God and trembleth at God; that is right. 120 Faith is not thy weapon; thou hadst better hear me now; faith is not thy weapon; oh no, uh-uh; until thou puttest thy money where thy mouth is, thy faith — thy mouth where thy faith is, thy weapon is thy mouth; hallelujah. 121 Thy weapon is thy mouth; hallelujah; until thou openest thy mouth, heaven doth not move; amen; it doth not have permission. 122 See, pastor, I cannot comprehend this; then let me break it down for thee even to the sixth grade level; why did God send Satan back to earth? Because Satan said in his heart, I will leave my place and ascend to heaven; that is right. 123 I will go into an area that was not assigned to me; disobedience; dost thou think God can destroy him from leaving his realm? If God leaveth his realm — the Bible said God set the boundaries; he set the boundaries even for himself. 124 He said, heaven is my throne, that is where I am at; but the earth is my temple, my footstool; what is the footstool? The temple of God; the ark of the covenant; that is the only way I come into the earth is if I have got a footstool, a temple. 125 He is calling thee to be that temple; I want thee to hear me; when thou openest thy mouth, it is more powerful than a nuclear weapon; why? I do not care. 126 Pastor, I have been praying; I do not care; thou listenest to me; if Matthew Morgan ever cometh home, it will not be because we prayed today; it is because thou wilt pray tomorrow and the next day and the next day. 127 We do not give up in prayer; we are terrorists in prayer; we are terrorists in prayer. 128 I truly believe with all my heart; now, I am going to say something; if thou takest this wrong, that is because thou art not right; the Bible said to the pure, everything is pure. 129 If thou knowest my heart, what I am fixing to say is going to come out a little strong; but if thou knowest my heart, I want thee to hear what I am saying. 130 I truly believe that if I would not have opened my mouth and said the lion will roar in 24, I do not believe it would have; I believe it; God spoke to me and said, say it. 131 He said, I will give thee a microphone; it is not for thyself; say it; say it across the airwaves; declare it to the world; the lion will roar in 24; hallelujah. 132 And every one of thee that stood in that faith and spoke it and declared it is the reason it happened; they threw everything they had at that man; but somebody was praying; hallelujah. 133 Last night, a spirit of prayer swept across this church last night in that Zoom meeting; I felt it when it came from heaven; when that happeneth, thou listenest to me. 134 When it happeneth like that, God is saying, I need to get in the door; somebody open it; we have got work to do; we have got miracles to see; there must be a partner with God. 135 If thou art watching and thou dost not have my book on prayer, I beg thee, read it; do more than read it; read it every day; read prayer — the book of prayer. 136 How many — how many in this room — I am going to find out who is part of this ministry — hath read the entire book of prayer? Do not lie; hallelujah. 137 Why? It is the end time message; and thou thinkest thou knowest it because thou heard me teach a few times; there are things in those books that I have never said; read; read and learn how to pray. 138 I know when he speaketh; that was not me, by the way; I know when he speaketh; thou hearest me, children? What is happening in this little building the world hath never seen. 139 Do y'all know that y'all understand things that nobody in this world understandeth? Dost thou know that? Dost thou grasp it? How blessed we are; I do not know of anybody that understandeth the way these people do. 140 Read every day; read; do not just read the daily devotional; that is a cheap way to go; that is only one page; read a book. 141 Why? Because that book of prayer hath revelations thou hast never heard about prayer; and this is part of it — thou art a partner with God; those that read what we write never leave us; never. 142 Thou knowest why? They have learned how to flow together to the oil and the wine; God is calling a people that will walk in unity in prayer; travail; oh yes; moving in the Holy Ghost. 143 When God calleth thee to pray — last night, I heard my wife in the kitchen when the Holy Ghost fell; and I heard something boil out of her that I have not heard in a long time; not on that level anyway. 144 And I knew right then that God had healed her; I knew it right then that God had touched her in such a marvelous way; woo! Sh; why? Because prayer, power in prayer. 145 Everybody thou findest, thou oughtest to say, pray for me; I just need prayer; now, it is one thing when one person prayeth; it is powerful when Sister Kendrick or Daddy prayeth, powerful when my wife prayeth. 146 That powerful — I grant it by my grandmother; prayer warriors; but I know something more powerful than them is when we all flow together in prayer; oh, hallelujah; hallelujah. 147 I remember maybe a year or so ago when mom and daddy felt led to have a prayer revival; I watched the majority of this congregation come and flow with them into what God was saying. 148 I want to explain to thee that unity addeth harmony to the song; the new song — I have taught on it before, so I am not going there today. 149 Is it two o'clock yet? If it is, I will shut it down; come on; we will pick back up next week when we come back; I am so sorry; time is of the essence; hallelujah. 150 I made a promise I would stop at two o'clock today, but we will pick back up next week; honey, let us sing the song I wrote about prayer this morning; let us all stand today; do not leave. 151 We have something very important to do; praise the Lord; I hate a clock, dost thou not? Amen; praise the name of the Lord; hallelujah; let us all gather today; let us flow together. 152 Prayer will move a mountain that thou couldest not come before; prayer will calm the storm, the storm that is raging around thee; praise — the only way; only way that thou wilt make it through.
