Pg 4
Haggai 2:4
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest;
and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:
​
Be strong in spirit, and work, for I am with you -- no matter what Satan says, the Lord says "I am with you and Satan cannot break the Word of the Lord! For it is eternal -- I am in you and ye shall go forth with My power! I am the Lord God!
Stand your ground and when the Lord's anointing is on you, it's like the lion when he gets up he challenges, it's in his nature he doesn't know any different. God created him and he thunders in there and he challenges. Woe be unto him that crosses his path, he even gives a warning that he won't touch anybody, but cross his path and you're gone! You can't face him but he challenges -- who chall come before me, the lion says, I'm on my way to get my meal and the monkeys and the hyenas and jackels and the jackasses get out of the way. I'm going to the waterhole. That's the lion!
And in the ministry, the Bible says that He puts the ministry of fire and power and in Amos 3:7-8 that when the lion would roar who but could tremble! He's talking of a ministry!
​
Amos 3:7-8
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
In Revelation chapter 10 "it said He had the voice of the lion when he roareth and he said the thunders began to roll from Heaven and God's anointing begins to come down and the lightnings began to set up and the heavens were lit up and colors began to fall and the glories of the Lord were revealed to His people!
John said, I took a bite of the Scroll and fell over on the ground, it was so powerful! He said, it felt so good! But it knocked me out! It was God's power that He's going to deliver to the Gentile and then send it on the the Jew, because in the next chapter, it gave it going to the Israelites.
So, stand your ground! The lion challenges and when a person has a ministry, especially a prophet ministry and he SOUNDS -- he's like the lion, he challenges the devil -- it's in his nature, he can't get away from it, it's in his voice and when he challenges, the devil challenges back -- but God wins every time!
​
Pg 5
All God wants to do is to feed His children, He wants to go to them. Of course, if Satan gets up then the type of ministry that AZmos and Revelations talks about, it will stand its ground! And the devil will not drive it back! And the devil will not drive you back, you stand your ground! Be strong as the Lion!
​
Be strong in power! All ye people! The Bible says -- ALL ye people, and work for I am with you and over you and in you!
How can you fail when satan is outside of you, I am in you saith the Lord! Challenge him, he cannot stand up now, I have given ye power! I shall be with you!
This is a late hour work! The Lord is challenging Satan! You will be challenged but stand your ground! He said, be strong in the Spirit of the Lord. Don't be negative but be strong and positive! Be wise and be harmless and testify, and where it's not received don't argue -- go your way, for they have made a fool out of themselves the minute that they argue -- they don't even believe in what they've got or they wouldn't be arguing.
People that have a doctrine and they constantly want to argue day and night -- watch out and beware -- they're arguing because they can't believe it themselves, so they're trying perhaps to have somebody prove it to them. You know what you've got!
​
Jesus didn't argue it with them -- He commanded, He spoke! He didn't even argue when they wanted to kill Him most times!
He went to the Cross because it had to be done -- He knew where He was at, He knew what He had, He knew where He had to go and He knew what He had to do!
​
Don't argue with them! Dust your feet off! You know what you've got, that proves you believe in the Word of God! Let no man steal your crown, worship no man nor any doctrine that he has but worship the Living God and Him only, worship Him!
​
Pg 9
The sermon tonight is Be Strong! And He means it! That means stand your ground and stand in the love of God. When you stand strong with love you cannot be broken! Because faith is involved with it and a three fold cord is. not easily broken and it will NOT be broken because God will stand with you.
​
Pg 10
The Lord is going to bring a revival deluge. The prophet said -- I looked and the water was rising -- Ezekiel -- it's up here so high to my knees, I see it climbing, it's coming higher. He went on up and he said a man could swim in His power and it's going to drown us in His presence and love! He said, it's up this high. The Spirit of the Lord was rising, it was getting higher!
​
And He's sending this here as a water level and the Lord is sending His Spirit and He's come over His people. So, be ye strong in the Spirit of the Living God! Remember the Word and stay with Him, because this is the way He put it here and He rose with His Healing in His wings and this means that not only are you healed, but He'll give you power that will help your people who are around you. Now He is going to give His people power -- you're going to help the body of Christ!
​
Pg 11
​
He wants to touch each one of you to unite that body! You can't just leave it to me or someone else -- you've got to yourself, you're going to get power from those wings of healing!
​
Not only are you healed but God said He's going to anoint you and that's for everybody that's been in this building here tonight who believes in the Lord, you'll be used by God! Just wait and do as the Lord leads you daily and God will lead you!
​
He wants each one of us to help the other body and when you help the other person, then you get healed too! That's when the body of Christ will start being healed -- it said pray for your enemies even, the Bible said pray for others that ye yourself may be healed and when you begin to help unite the body -- you have a job to do and you're going to help unite this body!
​
Praise ye the Lord! Be alert, be vigilant and let the Lord work through you and ask Him. He'll be with you!
