MILLAR: THE TITLE OF MY MESSAGE IS, "IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT'S WHO YOU KNOW." THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE BIBLE INSIDE AND OUT; IN FACT, THEY HAVE MEMORIZED MANY SCRIPTURES, BUT IT'S NOT A CONTEST ON WHO KNOWS THE MOST ABOUT THE BIBLE. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT'S WHO YOU KNOW. THE QUESTION IS: DO YOU KNOW JESUS? DO HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST? PEOPLE WHO HAVE RECEIVED JESUS INTO THEIR HEART KNOW THE SALVATION OF JESUS, AND WHEN YOU KNOW JESUS, YOU WILL KNOW THAT HE WILL CHANGE YOUR OLD WAYS TO HIS WAYS. MANY RELIGIOUS PEOPLE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A BORN-AGAIN EXPERIENCE. WHY IS THAT? THEY KNOW THE BIBLE, THEY KNOW OF JESUS, BUT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING OF JESUS AND RECEIVING SALVATION AND LIVING FOR JESUS. HONEST HEARTED PEOPLE WILL REALIZE THAT THERE IS MORE TO A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD THAN KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES. THE BIBLE LETS US KNOW THAT NICODEMUS CAME TO JESUS BY NIGHT. NICODEMUS WAS A PHARISEE. PHARISEES ARE KNOWN FOR INSISTING THAT THE LAW OF GOD BE OBSERVED AS THE SCRIBES INTERPRET IT. NICODEMUS KEPT THE SABBATH. HE BELIEVED IN FASTING AND GIVING TO GOD IN TITHING, AND PRAYING AND SPENDING MANY HOURS WITH GOD. NICODEMUS WAS ALSO A RULER OF THE JEWS, SO HE WAS WELL KNOWN. SO, THIS WELL-EDUCATED MAN OF THE SCRIPTURES CAME TO JESUS LOOKING FOR MORE THAN WHAT HE WAS RECEIVING BEING A PHARISEE. MOST PEOPLE WHO LOOKED AT NICODEMUS IN THOSE DAYS PROBABLY THOUGHT THAT HE HAD IT ALL. BEING A RULER OF A RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL PARTY IN PALESTINE DURING THE NEW TESTAMENT TIMES WAS PROBABLY VERY IMPRESSIVE, BUT HE WAS MISSING SOMETHING. NICODEMUS RECOGNIZED THAT JESUS WAS A TEACHER FROM GOD BECAUSE NO ONE COULD DO THE MIRACLES THAT JESUS DID WITHOUT GOD BEING IN HIM. BUT JESUS WAS MORE THAN JUST A TEACHER FROM GOD, HE WAS THE SON OF GOD; HE WAS GOING TO BE THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB OF THE WORLD! SO, IT WAS LIKE THIS RELIGIOUS LEADER, NICODEMUS, WAS IN A DARK ROOM FEELING AROUND FOR A DOOR TO HEAVEN, AND JESUS IS THE ONLY DOOR TO GET TO HEAVEN. BUT AT THAT MOMENT, NICODEMUS DIDN'T KNOW THE REAL JESUS. IN JOHN, CHAPTER 10, VERSES 7-10, "THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THEM AGAIN, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, I AM THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP. ALL THAT EVER CAME BEFORE ME ARE THIEVES AND ROBBERS: BUT THE SHEEP DID NOT HEAR THEM. I AM THE DOOR: BY ME IF ANY MAN ENTER IN, HE SHALL BE SAVED, AND SHALL GO IN AND OUT, AND FIND PASTURE. THE THIEF COMETH NOT, BUT FOR TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY: I AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY." IT JUST SO HAPPENS NICODEMUS WAS SEARCHING IN THE DARK OF NIGHT, BUT ISN'T THAT WHAT WE ARE ALL DOING, SEARCHING IN DARKNESS FOR THE LIGHT OF JESUS BEFORE WE FIND HIM? THE HOLY GHOST HAS A WAY OF DRAWING PEOPLE FROM THE NIGHT INTO THE LIGHT OF JESUS. NOW JESUS IS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF NICODEMUS. THE NICODEMUS'S OF THE WORLD CAN HAVE ALL THE KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD ABOUT THE SCRIPTURES, BUT THEY STILL NEED TO HAVE JESUS TO GET TO HEAVEN; AND JESUS WAS GOING TO LET HIM KNOW EXACTLY THAT. AND IN JOHN, CHAPTER 3, VERSE 3, "VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD." THE SAD TRUTH IS THERE ARE MANY NICODEMUS'S IN THIS WORLD. NICODEMUS HAD ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE, AND HE STILL WAS SPIRITUALLY BLIND. HERE THIS RELIGIOUS LEADER BELIEVES HE IS GOING TO HEAVEN WHEN THAT WASN'T THE CASE! THINK OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO THINK THEY'RE GOING TO HEAVEN WHEN THAT ISN'T THE CASE. AFTER ADAM AND EVE SINNED AND WERE KICKED OUT OF THE GARDEN, FROM THAT POINT ON, EVERYONE WAS BORN INTO SIN; THAT'S WHY WE ALL NEED JESUS CHRIST AS OUR PERSONAL SAVIOR. NICODEMUS GOES ON TO ASK JESUS, "HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD? CAN HE ENTER AGAIN INTO HIS MOTHER'S WOMB? NICODEMUS WAS THINKING PHYSICALLY, NOT SPIRITUALLY. THEN JESUS SAID TO HIM IN JOHN, CHAPTER 3, VERSES 5 AND 6, "VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT." THIS WAS NICODEMUS'S ANSWER. THIS WOULD CHANGE EVERYTHING FOR NICODEMUS TO ACTUALLY HAVE A SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST! ALL THIS TIME NICODEMUS WAS MISSING OUT AND STILL THINKING HE WAS GOING TO HEAVEN. JESUS GOES ON TO SAY TO NICODEMUS, "YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN." THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CONVERSATION, NO DOUBT, THE HOLY GHOST WAS DEALING WITH NICODEMUS, DRAWING HIM CLOSER TO JESUS. JUST AS JESUS EXPLAINED THE BORN-AGAIN EXPERIENCE THAT WHAT WAS- WHAT IS BORN OF FLESH IS FLESH AND WHAT IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT, HE GOES ON TO TELL HOW THE WIND MOVES IS LIKE EVERY ONE THAT IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT. JUST LIKE THE WIND, YOU CAN FEEL THE SPIRIT MOVE ON YOU TO CONVINCE YOU TO RECEIVE SALVATION, AND THEN TO GUIDE YOU IN THE DIRECTION THE LORD WANTS YOU TO GO. THE SPIRIT CAN BE SO FORCEFUL LIKE A MIGHTY WIND AT CERTAIN TIMES IN OUR LIFE. NICODEMUS WAS FEELING CONVICTION OF THE HOLY GHOST TO COME TO JESUS. SO, AS JESUS SAYS TO HIM IN JOHN, CHAPTER 3, VERSE 8, "THE WIND BLOWETH WHERE IT LISTETH, AND THOU HEAREST THE SOUND THEREOF, BUT CANST NOT TELL WHENCE IT COMETH, OR WHITHER IT GOETH: SO IS EVERY ONE THAT IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT." NONE OF US KNOW WHEN THE HOLY GHOST IS GOING TO MOVE ON US. SOMETIMES IT WILL BE FORCEFUL, OTHER TIMES IT MAY BE SUBTLE, LIKE A LIGHT BREEZE OR A STILL SMALL VOICE. SOMETIMES THAT LIGHT BREEZE CAN TURN INTO A MIGHTY WIND BY THE HOLY GHOST STOPPING YOU IN YOUR TRACKS SO THAT YOU STAY IN THE WILL OF GOD. PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS MORE TO THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GODHEAD THAN GOING TO CHURCH AND SHAKING THE PREACHER'S HAND. NICODEMUS ASKED HOW THESE THINGS COULD BE! THIS IS WHERE NICODEMUS NEEDED TO USE HIS FAITH. WE KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL GIVEN A MEASURE OF FAITH, AND IT WAS TIME FOR NICODEMUS TO USE HIS FAITH. AND JESUS SAID IN JOHN, CHAPTER 3, VERSE 12, "IF I HAVE TOLD YOU EARTHLY THINGS, AND YE BELIEVE NOT, HOW SHALL YE BELIEVE, IF I TELL YOU HEAVENLY THINGS?" IT ALL CAME DOWN TO NICODEMUS'S FAITH. JESUS GAVE HIM THE TRUTH, HE JUST HAD TO BELIEVE! I'VE SEEN THIS TIME AND TIME AGAIN, HERE AND OVER ON THE MISSION FIELD WHERE PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HEAVEN JUST BECAUSE THEY GO TO CHURCH AND THAT THEY ARE A GOOD PERSON. THEY BELIEVE IN JESUS, BUT THEY HAVEN'T ACCEPTED JESUS INTO THEIR HEARTS AS HIS- AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR. BUT BEING A GOOD PERSON AND GOING TO CHURCH ISN'T GOING TO GET YOU TO HEAVEN; THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN IS BY ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART. FRIEND, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT'S WHO YOU KNOW! EVERYONE NEEDS JESUS IN A PERSONAL WAY, TO ACCEPT JESUS INTO THEIR HEART. WHEN YOU HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE, YOU USUALLY KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO REACT IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. JAMES AND JOHN, TWO OF JESUS' DISCIPLES, I'M SURE THOUGHT THEY HAD A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. AFTER ALL, THEY SPENT MANY HOURS WITH JESUS, BUT THEY- BUT IT WAS GOING TO SHOW UP ON THEM THAT THEY REALLY DIDN'T KNOW JESUS AS WELL AS THEY THOUGHT. AND IN LUKE, CHAPTER 9, VERSES 51-56, "AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE TIME WAS COME THAT HE SHOULD BE RECEIVED UP, HE STEDFASTLY SET HIS FACE TO GO TO JERUSALEM, AND SENT MESSENGERS BEFORE HIS FACE: AND THEY WENT, AND ENTERED INTO A VILLAGE OF THE SAMARITANS, TO MAKE READY FOR HIM. AND THEY DID NOT RECEIVE HIM, BECAUSE HIS FACE WAS AS THOUGH HE WOULD GO TO JERUSALEM. AND WHEN HIS DISCIPLES JAMES AND JOHN SAW THIS, THEY SAID, LORD," THOU- "WILT THOU THAT WE COMMAND FIRE TO COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND CONSUME THEM, EVEN AS ELIAS DID? BUT HE TURNED, AND REBUKED THEM, AND SAID, YE KNOW NOT WHAT MANNER OF SPIRIT YE ARE OF. FOR THE SON OF MAN IS NOT COME TO DESTROY MEN'S LIVES, BUT TO SAVE THEM. AND THEY WENT TO ANOTHER VILLAGE." HOW COULD JAMES AND JOHN BE SO FAR OFF BASE FROM KNOWING WHAT JESUS- HOW JESUS WOULD REACT? THEY WERE REALLY, REALLY TAKING IT PERSONALLY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE REJECTED JESUS. THEY WERE MISSING IT. WHEN SOMEONE REJECTS JESUS, WE SHOULD PRAY FOR THEM. WE ASK- WE ASK THE HOLY GHOST TO LET GOD MAKE HIMSELF REAL TO THEM. THE HOLY GHOST KNOWS WHAT WILL TAKE- WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR A PERSON TO RECEIVE JESUS. IT'S UP TO US TO YIELD TO THE HOLY GHOST SO WE CAN BE THE MOUTHPIECE TO WIN THAT SOUL. WHY DO YOU THINK JAMES AND JOHN WANTED TO CALL DOWN FIRE FROM HEAVEN? DID THEY SAY, "LORD, WILT THOU THAT WE COMMAND FIRE TO COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND CONSUME THEM?" YES, THEY WANTED THAT POWER OF GOD IN THE WRONG WAY. DID THEY WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE THAT THEY COULD BE USED BY GOD TO CALL DOWN FIRE LIKE ELIJAH? THEY WERE ALLOWING THE SPIRIT OF EGO TO COME UPON THEM. WE ALL NEED TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO TAKE ON THE WRONG SPIRIT BECAUSE SOULS ARE AT STAKE. AND IF JAMES AND JOHN HAD IT THEIR WAY, ALL THOSE SOULS IN THAT SAMARITAN VILLAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! EACH ONE OF THOSE SOULS WOULD'VE NEVER HAD A SECOND CHANCE TO COME TO JESUS. THINK OF ALL THE SOULS THAT ARE ON EARTH TODAY THAT MISSED THEIR FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO JESUS, BUT ARE NOW SERVING THE LORD, OR SOME OF THEM MAY EVEN BE IN HEAVEN! MAYBE YOU WERE ONE WHO MISSED YOUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO JESUS. FOR ME, I KNOW I MISSED MY FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO JESUS. JESUS WAS PATIENT WITH ME. JESUS HAD COMPASSION ON ME. WHEN YOU KNOW JESUS, YOU WILL HAVE COMPASSION FOR OTHERS. JESUS HAD COMPASSION ON THE SAMARITAN VILLAGE, AND HE SAID TO JAMES AND JOHN, "YE KNOW NOT WHAT MANNER OF SPIRIT YE ARE OF." AT THIS POINT, JESUS WAS QUESTIONING JAMES AND JOHN IF THEY KNEW WHAT JESUS WAS ALL ABOUT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT SPIRIT! JESUS GOES ON TO SAY, "THE SON OF MAN IS NOT COME TO DESTROY MEN'S LIVES, BUT TO SAVE THEM." JESUS KNOWS THAT THE HOLY GHOST CAN DEAL WITH PEOPLE TO GET THEM READY FOR SALVATION. JESUS KNOWS THAT IT ONLY TAKES ONE PERSON TO GET SAVED AND START A REVIVAL! IN FACT, HE HAS SEEN IT BEFORE WITH THE SAMARITAN WOMAN AT THE WELL. THE HOLY GHOST WILL MAKE JESUS REAL TO PEOPLE. SAUL, BEFORE HE BECAME APOSTLE PAUL, THOUGHT HE KNEW JESUS. JESUS, EXCUSE ME, SAUL DIDN'T KNOW JESUS. SAUL DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH, THE SON OF GOD. BECAUSE OF SAUL'S UPBRINGING RAISED DEEP IN JEWISH TRADITION AND BEING A STRICT PHARISEE, HE WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ENEMY OF JESUS. SAUL'S GOAL WAS TO ELIMINATE CHRISTIANS. SAUL WENT TO THE HIGH PRIEST TO GET LETTERS SO THAT HE COULD GO TO DAMASCUS INTO THE SYNAGOGUES TO SEARCH FOR CHRISTIANS. IT WAS SAUL'S MISSION TO HUNT THEM DOWN, FIND THEM, TAKE THEM TO JERUSALEM, HAVE THEM STAND TRIAL AND THEN PUT THEM TO DEATH. SO, SAUL AND HIS MEN WERE HEADING TOWARDS DAMASCUS WITH DOCUMENTATION IN HAND. SAUL, NO DOUBT, THOUGHT THAT JESUS WAS A MISGUIDED MAN WHO WAS CRUCIFIED, AND HIS FOLLOWERS NEEDED TO BE DESTROYED BEFORE THIS CHRISTIANITY GETS OUT OF HAND! AS SAUL GOT CLOSER TO DAMASCUS, I'M SURE HE THOUGHT HE KNEW ALL HE NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT JESUS, BUT SAUL DIDN'T KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS, THAT JESUS WAS THE SON OF GOD. JESUS MADE HIMSELF REAL TO SAUL ON THE WAY TO DAMASCUS. ONE MOMENT SAUL WAS HIGH AND MIGHTY, THE NEXT MOMENT HE IS DOWN ON HIS KNEES BLIND; AND THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN IS ALL AROUND HIM. HE "HEARD A VOICE SAYING, SAUL, SAUL, WHY PERSECUTEST THOU ME?" SOMETIMES THE LORD HAS TO KNOCK PEOPLE DOWN BEFORE THEY WILL REACH UP AND RECEIVE SALVATION. AT THIS POINT, SAUL IS TREMBLING, AND HE ASKED, "LORD, WHAT WILL- WHAT WILT THOU HAVE ME TO DO?" BEFORE SAUL LOST- BEFORE SAUL LOST HIS SIGHT, HE WAS BLIND TO THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS, BUT NOW THAT THE LORD HAS BLINDED HIM PHYSICALLY, SAUL CAN SEE THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS. SAUL FINALLY KNEW THE REAL JESUS. SAUL'S MEN LED HIM AWAY TO DAMASCUS, AND FOR THREE DAYS HE WAS WITHOUT SIGHT, AND HE DID NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING DURING THAT TIME. HE PATIENTLY WAITED ON GOD FOR HIS DIRECTIONS. AT THIS POINT, THE LORD CALLS ON ANANIAS TO GO TO SAUL AND LAY HANDS ON HIM SO HE CAN RECEIVE HIS SIGHT. SAUL BECAME THE GREAT APOSTLE PAUL WHO SUFFERED MANY THINGS FOR THE SAKE OF JESUS. BEFORE PAUL'S CONVERSION, HE ONLY KNEW OF JESUS, BUT NOW PAUL KNEW JESUS IN A PERSONAL WAY, JESUS AS HIS PERSONAL SAVIOR. THINK HOW SAUL'S WORLD CHANGED: ALL HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS WERE, NO DOUBT, SHOCKED; EVEN THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY WAS SHOCKED ABOUT PAUL'S CONVERSION. PAUL DID A COMPLETE 180. HE WENT FROM DRAGGING CHRISTIANS OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE TO BE CONDEMNED, NOW GOING INTO THE SYNAGOGUES PREACHING JESUS! THAT'S A DIFFERENCE OF NOT KNOWING JESUS OPPOSED TO KNOWING JESUS. ROMANS, CHAPTER 8, VERSE 1, "THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT." WHEN YOU TRULY KNOW JESUS, YOU WILL WALK AFTER THE SPIRIT AND NOT FULFILL THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH. YOU WILL KNOW THAT JESUS IS A PERSONAL WAY, EXCUSE ME; YOU WILL KNOW JESUS IN A PERSONAL WAY, AND YOU WILL WALK LIKE HIM, YOU WILL TALK LIKE HIM, AND OTHERS WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE! BUT THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN MEET JESUS IS TO REALLY GET TO KNOW- AND TO GET TO KNOW HIM IS AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS. JESUS WENT TO CALVARY TO SHED HIS BLOOD SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVE A BORN-AGAIN EXPERIENCE; AND IT'S THROUGH THAT EXPERIENCE THAT WE BECOME ONE WITH CHRIST AND BEGIN A BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. JESUS WANTS EACH ONE OF US TO HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, BUT IF WE CHOOSE TO LIVE A LIFE OF SIN, THAT RELATIONSHIP WILL NEVER HAPPEN. IN FIRST JOHN, CHAPTER 2, VERSES 1-6, "MY LITTLE CHILDREN, THESE THINGS WRITE I UNTO YOU, THAT YE SIN NOT. AND IF ANY MAN SIN, WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE WITH THE FATHER, JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS: AND HE IS THE PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS: AND NOT FOR OURS ONLY, BUT ALSO FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD. AND HEREBY WE DO KNOW THAT WE KNOW HIM, AND IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. HE THAT SAITH, I KNOW HIM, AND KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS, IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. BUT WHOSO KEEPETH HIS WORD, IN HIM VERILY IS THE LOVE OF GOD PERFECTED: HEREBY KNOW WE THAT WE ARE IN HIM. HE THAT SAITH HE ABIDETH IN HIM OUGHT HIMSELF ALSO SO TO WALK, EVEN AS HE WALKED." FRIEND, IF YOU ARE NOT WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS, LIVING FREE FROM ALL SIN, THEN YOU ARE NOT REALLY BORN AGAIN, AND THESE SCRIPTURES PROVE THAT. AGAIN, VERSE 4, "HE THAT SAITH, I KNOW HIM, AND KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS, IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM." SIN IS NOT GOING TO ENTER INTO HEAVEN. IF THERE IS ONL- IF THERE IS ANY SIN IN YOUR LIFE, THIS IS THE TIME TO REPENT. REMEMBER, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT'S WHO YOU KNOW. FRIEND, YOU NEED TO ASK JESUS INTO YOUR HEART. LET HIM MAKE YOU BRAND-NEW! I WANT YOU TO PRAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME RIGHT NOW TO ASK JESUS INTO YOUR HEART. SAY, "OH, GOD, [AUDIENCE REPEATS PRAYER THROUGHOUT] SAVE MY SOUL. FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS. BUT I HAVE COME HOME TO SERVE YOU THE REST OF MY LIFE. AND I BELIEVE THAT THE BLOOD OF JESUS WASHES AWAY ALL OF MY SINS. COME INTO MY HEART, JESUS. COME ON IN, JESUS." IF YOU MEANT THAT PRAYER, YOU HAVE JESUS IN YOUR HEART, YOU HAVE THE HEALER; LET'S GET YOUR MIRACLE FOR YOU NOW TODAY, FRIEND. THE BIBLE SAYS IN MARK'S GOSPEL, THE SIXT- THE 16TH CHAPTER THAT BELIEVERS WILL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK AND THEY SHALL RECOVER. I AM A BELIEVER! FRIEND, PUT YOUR HAND ON THE TELEVISION SCREEN; THIS IS A POINT OF CONTACT TO PULL DOWN HEAVEN TOGETHER TO RELEASE YOUR FAITH. AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE LISTENING BY RADIO, PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR LISTENING DEVICE, AND LET'S JUST PULL DOWN HEAVEN TOGETHER. "LORD, HEAVENLY FATHER, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY NEED; BREAK THEIR BONDAGE, SET THEM FREE. HEAL THEM IN THE HOLY BLOOD-NAME OF JESUS! WE CURSE EVERY SICKNESS, EVERY DISEASE IN THEIR BODY! HEAL IN THE HOLY BLOOD-NAME OF JESUS CHRIST I PRAY, AND LET EVERYTHING COME TO NORMAL. AMEN." FRIEND, LOOK FOR EVERY SIGN OF IMPROVEMENT, AND ALWAYS GIVE GOD THE PRAISE, THE HONOR AND THE GLORY. AND WRITE TO US, WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU TO HEAR A GREAT TESTIMONY. AND NOW AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO GO ON TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST WITH THE EVIDENCE IN SPEAKING IN TONGUES. FRIEND, JESUS TOLD THE DISCIPLES BEFORE HE ASCEND- ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN TO GO TO THE UPPER ROOM TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST, TO TARRY UNTIL; THAT'S HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST. WELL, FRIEND, I'M HERE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY TO GO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST. YOU'RE A YIELDED VESSEL. YOUR VESSEL IS CLEAN, PURE AND HOLY NOW THAT YOU ACCEPTED JESUS INTO YOUR HEART. SO, AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEND THESE "GLORIES" RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SAY ONE "GLORY" RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER, SENDING THEM RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN! AND NOW I'M GONNA CALL DOWN THE HOLY GHOST UPON YOU. "LORD, HEAVENLY FATHER, AS THEY'RE SENDING UP THOSE "GLORIES," RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST! RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST, AND OPEN YOUR HEART'S DOOR AND KEEP ON GLORIFYING HIM, ONE "GLORY" RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER! AMEN."
