"Fill your horn with oil and go." These simple yet profound words from God to Samuel carry life-changing implications for every believer today. When Samuel mourned over Saul's rejection as king, God didn't join his pity party—He gave him marching orders.
What does it mean when God rejects someone? The truth might surprise you. It's never God who rejects us; it's we who reject Him. Through Saul's story, we discover the dangerous progression of disobedience, deception, and people-pleasing that led to his downfall. Though anointed by God Himself, Saul chose his own path rather than God's commands.
Many believers today find themselves in similar patterns—wanting God's blessing while keeping those areas of life we think are "okay" but actually compromise our walk with Christ. We desire His power without His purity, His provision without His lordship.
The message challenges us to examine our response when life gets difficult. Do we sit and mourn like Samuel, or do we follow the examples set throughout Scripture? Joshua shouted victory before the walls fell. Paul and Silas praised God in prison chains. When storms rage against us, that's precisely when our praise should be loudest!
What makes the difference between merely surviving and truly thriving in your spiritual journey? The answer lies in being filled with the Holy Spirit—that oil Samuel was commanded to carry. Without this divine anointing, we function at a fraction of our spiritual potential. As the pastor powerfully states, "You need an unction to function."
Ready to move beyond where you are to where God is calling you to go? His command hasn't changed: fill your horn with oil—receive the Holy Spirit's power—and GO where He sends you, confident that He has already prepared the way.
But not because of you, but because he is good and you will not have room to receive Him. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Woo.
Speaker 2:Hello, welcome to Valley Gospel Church. We are a non-denominational Pentecostal church located in Springdale, Pennsylvania. Our sole mission is to present the living truth of a risen Lord Jesus Christ to a remnant church and a lost world. So let's go into the service recorded live at Valley Gospel Church.
Speaker 3:Glory. Come on, chrissy, let's start early today. Early start, early start. God has chosen to conduct his ministry, his great enterprise, his work, however you choose to phrase it, through chosen men and women, anointed people dedicated to his will and his plan of action as far as it pertains to the souls of mankind. He's also chosen to communicate with his children, with believers, in a variety of ways. How many of you believe that God speaks today? Yeah, amen. Through the Old and the New Testament Testament up to the present church. He sometimes speaks directly to a man or a woman, and I use that term to include children as well.
Speaker 3:It's a holy thing for the Holy Ghost to speak to someone such as you or I. I believe this morning that not only has God spoken through the worship, has he spoken through the gift of tongues and an interpretation of tongues. I believe he'll speak again through this foolish servant, amen. So if you have your Bible, would you turn with Chrissy please, to 1 Samuel. 1 Samuel, 16. 16 and 1. Don't lose Samuel, flip. Put the bookmark in there, put a couple of fingers in there. Going to spend a little time in Samuel today. 1 Samuel, 16 and 1. Whenever you get there, would you please stand for God's word. 1 Samuel 16 and 1.
Speaker 4:And the Lord said unto Samuel how long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided me a king among his sons.
Speaker 3:Wow, a king among his sons, wow. I'd like to use for a subject this morning the very word that God Almighty spoke to his servant, samuel, and maybe the shortest title I've ever had go, go. You know, I believe it's a message for his church today. It's a message of rejection, it's a message of power and it's a message for his church today. It's a message of rejection, it's a message of power and it's a message of provision. So let's pray, heavenly Father, lord, as I minister this morning, help me, lord. Help me to use words and phrases that bring glory to you, and only to you. Help me to say only that which the Holy Spirit would desire me to say, and that's our only desire, father, is to bring you glory. Help me to speak words of life. Your words are words of life and I'll ask, in the name of Jesus, that it would go out with liberty, not only to everyone here, but to anyone who might hear by CD or media or podcast or broadcast. Let them see your love and mercy in our lives and in our church. In Jesus' name, amen and amen, please be seated. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3:The Bible says the Word of God says that the mercy of God lasts forever. The mercy of God lasts forever. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercy never comes to an end. You know, I have heard over the years concerns from parishioners, from acquaintances, from congregations, that they're concerned that somehow the Lord has rejected them, either through an action or something they said or something that they omitted, and it's become this fear that somehow the Lord would say I've had enough, I'm done with you, and God will never, never actually reject a person. It's the person that rejects him. Amen, amen. It's not so much that God closes the door of heaven, it's us that closes the door in God's face. And that's important, because that fearful attitude that God would somehow oh, I saw what you did I'm through doesn't exist. It doesn't exist, but it happened just that way with King Saul.
Speaker 3:King Saul was the first king of Israel. Saul was anointed of God, he was called of God, and I can't help but think, as I studied through this in the past week, how privileged he was. What an opportunity, what a blessing, yet what a responsibility for King Saul to be the first king over a nation that God had ordained to be the mightiest nation on the face of the earth, his chosen people, the Jew. What an opportunity. What a privilege that Saul had. What a privilege that you and I have to hear to preach the word of God. You know, I read this morning that if you are attending a church this morning, if you worshiped with freedom and in truth, if you're hearing the word of God, you are in the bottom 12% of the world's population. 12% because millions around the world don't have the opportunity that you and I have.
Speaker 3:In many Islamic countries, the penalty for wearing a cross, death, death Owning a Bible. They find one of these in your house. Trouble, trouble. You're going to jail in your house, trouble, trouble. You're going to jail. If you're speaking the name of Jesus, it can be the cause for beheading.
Speaker 3:You know, when my grandparents came to America from the former Soviet Union, they told us stories of how the KGB would come into their towns and destroy the churches, just loot them, rob them and desecrate them so that they couldn't be used, and they would jail or beat the pastors and the priests. And they would come into the homes and remove their Bibles and their religious icons, their artifacts, and they would exclaim to the people there is no God. Stalin is your God. There are millions around the world that have no opportunity to hear the gospel, no hope, no hope of truth. Every one of us has an opportunity that, if we find ourselves in a situation, if we find ourselves slipping into some darkness, some bondage, some bondage, some darkness within our hearts, that in a moment's time, every stain can be cleansed, washed pure by the blood of Jesus. In a minute, I don't care who you are, what you've done, if you've slipped and stumbled a half a thousand times, if you'll just get back up, the Holy Ghost will pick you up, dust you off and send you back on the road. That's gospel truth, gospel truth.
Speaker 3:This morning, the presence of God has moved, not only in our worship service, and he will again and again. That's not whoa, we got something today. He will again and again and again. If we have a need, our Heavenly Father says just ask me, Ask me, I don't care if we live in a mansion or a shack, if we come from this wonderful family or if you don't even know who your parents are. If we'll turn to God, if we'll ask him, glory, glory, glory. If you'll ask him, if you'll invite him in, he said he'll come in and make a prince, a prince, out of you and a priest Glory.
Speaker 3:Saul had it. Saul had it all. He had that opportunity. He had the opportunity in his heart and in his hand, had the God of the ages in his corner, but he ended up rejected. I thought you said, pastor, god will never reject. Stay with me, stay with me. God told Samuel. I've rejected him, not because God plays favorites or he has special people. Amen. He rejected Saul because Saul rejected him. God is not a respecter of persons. Saul rejected him. God loves Saul. He called him. Saul rejected him. God loved Saul. He called him. Saul rejected God and the first problem was sin. That's the first problem. You know, anything that we're facing in life, any, any social or mental issue that we face, we can always trace back to sin, can always trace that problem back to sin.
Speaker 3:Let me say this no, let me ask you, how would you finish this, how would you finish this statement? God is Good. I like that. What God is? Love? God is everything, tutto and tutti right. He's all in all, joy, joy. He's peace, light. What Didn't hear it? Amen, absolutely. All of those are correct. All of those are a correct assessment.
Speaker 3:But what I was, I think, above all, the attribute of God is God is holy, god is holy and, guys, we sell him short, we sell him short, we sell him short. We think he's this grandpa that overlooks things and you're okay, don't worry about it. Huh, god is holy, he's a holy God. He hates sin. He hates sin. He despises sin. 15, just go back in despises sin, 15. Just go back in 1 Samuel, 15. 15 and 9.
Speaker 3:But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep and of the oxen and of the fatlings and the lambs and all that was good and would not utterly destroy them, but everything that was violent and refuse that they destroyed utterly. Now, keeping in mind God hates sin, saul disobeyed God. First problem in this issue he disobeyed God. God tells him to go into this battle against the Amalekites and to annihilate everything, everything. And you might say, is that the God we served, this hard-hearted, cruel God? No, the Amalekites were so polluted, the people were so polluted, so wicked, so given over to the devil, that they threatened the society. They threatened the society of the day and God's creation, and God acted on them like a cancer that had to be excised, that had to be removed and destroyed so they couldn't infect or affect the rest of society. But Saul disobeyed. Saul killed and destroyed everything that he thought was bad, but kept everything that he thought was bad but kept everything that he thought was okay.
Speaker 3:You know, that reminds me so much of Christianity today that we want God's blessing. We want our eternal home. We want to walk through gates of pearl onto streets of transparent gold. We desire God to move in our life in a variety of ways, but we want to hold on to the things of this world that we think are okay, that we think are okay, that we think are okay, things that we want God to wink at. That we want the Lord to say oh, I understand You're a little short this month. I know I'm preaching hard, I'm sorry, but we can't serve two masters. We can't serve God and mammon. We can't have that. I'm not preaching legalism, don't misunderstand, I'm not. I'm the most anti-legalistic preacher around. But God told us to come out from among them and be ye separate Hallelujah. Just a quick, just a quick story.
Speaker 3:In my youth I made my money. I made my money through pinball machines that paid off and nine ball, and nine ball Used to play high stakes billiards all around. Some of you may remember Alice's Billiard Parlor, right by the Oakmont Bridge, used to be there gone, but that was my second home. I shot pool there every day. It was run by Vito Valeni and Al Blumetti, so you know what kind of well. And when I was first saved, the Lord allowed me to continue. When he called me to preach, he said I never want you to darken the doorway of a pool hall ever again. Oh no, oh no. And I made him promises, daniel. I said I won't play for money anymore. I just love the game. I won't do that. I even tried to go around it, kurt, and figured I'd get a pool table and put it in my house. That way I'm keeping the law right, because I'm not going into a pool hall. Wouldn't you know that there is not a room in my two-story house that will house a pool table? Not one, maybe the living room, if I took everything else out. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Speaker 3:The next thing Saul did was he lied. He lied 13, 15 and 13. He lied, he lied 13, 15 and 13. And Samuel came to Saul and Saul said unto him blessed be thou of the Lord. He's speaking to Samuel. I have performed the commandment of the Lord. I did what I was told. That's what he said. When Samuel came to Saul and asked him what he'd done, saul told him that he carried out the orders exactly. I did it. I don't know what the Lord would be upset about. I did it exactly like he said.
Speaker 3:You know, so many times, as I've studied this, I'm not sure if Saul was lying to save himself or to keep himself in good graces with the church, or whether he was so far gone that he honestly didn't know the difference between right and wrong, honestly didn't know the difference between right and wrong. He was so into his authority, perhaps as king, and so built up by who he was, that he thought he could get away with that. He didn't know that there was holiness required in serving God. You know, church, until God is preeminent in our life, when Jesus means more than our job, our hobbies, our money, our business, our career, we can't ultimately fulfill what God wants for us Because we have other gods. We have to be prepared to lay down everything that we hold as important or we hold as dear and pick up our cross and follow him. That's what he demands. We need to trust him, love him, do what he wants us to do and go wherever he wants us to go. Amen.
Speaker 3:1 Samuel 15 still move up to 22. And Samuel said the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is an iniquity and idolatry. Because thou has rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. And Saul said unto Samuel I have sinned, for I have transgressed and the commandments of the Lord in thy words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. So the last thing that Saul did, when Samuel comes to question him a little more closely about actually what went on with the Amalekites and why did they have tents full of goods and their stalls and fields were filled with sheep and rams and things that they didn't have before he told him he didn't obey God. Saul said I did it, but I did it because the people, people, the people pressured me. I did it, okay, samuel, but it was the people that pressured me.
Speaker 3:How many of us Christians are fearful of people, our friends, our co-workers, our family, fellow students, clients, even parishioners? Well, they give a lot Better watch. How will they react when they know you're truly sold out to God? How will they react? You know, many Christians hold back from truly serving God or totally committing to Christ because of the people, because of the people. Pastors who resist preaching the full counsel of God this morning, even though they know better. They know what the word of God says. But they resist because of the people, because the people. I'm not going to a church that's speaking in tongues. I don't want to go to a church where they're laying on the floor. Hmm, let me get in trouble now. I've known coworkers, acquaintances, who won't go to churches where lives are changed, where people are being healed, where the Holy Ghost moves and God speaks, even though their heart cries out for a move of God, For more of God, simply because of what their peers would think or say, even their Christian peers. Amen, amen.
Speaker 3:See, there's a stigmatism with the name or the, with the name Pentecostal huh, there's a stigmatism that goes along with that. Oh, you're one of those you're saying, brother, don't, maybe I'm going too far. Can't we go to any church and receive from god? Isn't god present in every church? You can go to any church. You can go to every church. Let me put it this way After church today, you can go to any restaurant too, right? Some have good food, some have bad food, and some will kill you, they'll poison you I'm not saying restaurant or church you decide Hallelujah. The point I'm making is that it's going to cost us something to serve God. But when we make that sacrifice, when we do that, we are promised joy, unspeakable help for our labors, the greatest life we could ever choose. All right, god rejected Saul and Samuel mourned.
Speaker 3:Now here's the picture I get of Samuel. God told him I want you to go and tell Saul he's out, tell him he's done, no longer king of Israel. I've got a job for you. You're going to go to Bethlehem and you're going to find the next king of Israel. But I picture Samuel like this what am I going to do? Samuel likes Saul, he loves Saul, he taught him, he brought him around, not to mention he's the king. And Samuel has to go and tell him he's through. And I picture him like this Send somebody else, lord, please. Send somebody else.
Speaker 3:As powerful as Samuel was, a prophet of God, an amazing man of God. I can just. Oh what he had to do, sitting on the rock, saying anything else, anything but this. And God said what are you sitting around for? Get up, fill your horn with oil and go Go. That's what he said. Hallelujah, glory. Have you ever seen Christians like that, so dejected, so down in the mouth? Huh, how you doing, brother. Oh, I'm getting by. If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all. My father-in-law's favorite if it ain't broken, it ain't mine. Hallelujah, my favorite. You don't know what the devil's doing to me, pastor. You don't know how. That's what he does. That's his business. That's what he does. That's his business. It's not a surprise. I know he's coming guns blazing Glory.
Speaker 3:An old friend once told me if I could feel the same way I felt on Sunday morning, if I could carry that into the week, I'd be fine, I'd be fine, I'd be fine. But I can't Hallelujah. You know, that's not. That's not. This isn't the only praise in time, this hour and a half on Sunday morning, amen.
Speaker 3:You know it's easy to praise and shout Us Pentecostals. We like to shout right and shout Us Pentecostals, we like to shout right. It's easy to praise and shout when the winds are at our back and everything's going really well. We're safe and secure, everybody loves us. We can shout and praise, but whenever it looks rough, whenever it looks dark and the storm begins to blow hard and the devil tells you it's impossible, you're not going to make it out of here, just so you know. You're not going to make it out of here. That's the time to praise and shout. That's the time to praise and shout. You don't understand, pastor.
Speaker 3:I can't keep pressing on. Jesus is coming, I'm saved. I'm't keep pressing on. Jesus is coming, I'm saved, I'm covered by his blood. Shout it out. What are you going to take from me? Hallelujah, I'm afraid I'll lose my job. Jesus is coming, I'm saved, I'm covered by his blood. My brother doesn't speak to me. Jesus is coming, I'm covered by his blood. My brother doesn't speak to me. Jesus is coming, I'm saved, I'm covered by his blood. I don't feel good. Jesus is coming, I'm saved, I'm covered by his blood. I've nothing now to fear. Shout all the time, praise all the time. We're saved, we're covered by his blood, we're washed in his blood. We should be shouting all the time. We have nothing to fear Now.
Speaker 3:I used the what I used the Bible Explorer app, all right, and I looked up that term both single words, shout and praise, and shout and praise as two words, a sentence, a statement. And just about every time in the Bible when the children of God would shout and praise. They were facing difficult times. They were facing rough times. How many of you know that the church does its best work in times of oppression and persecution? When we're sailing along, yeah, not much happening. But when we're under persecution and pressure, then the church does good work.
Speaker 3:Matthew 14 says the disciples were in the boat toiling all night. Storm blew up Almost daylight. Hands are raw from trying to row, can't making no headway, winds contrary, just about daylight. They're still out there, every bone in their backs aching, and they look up and they see Jesus walking to them on the water. Hmm, just about daylight, just that little twilight, my, and I'm going to tell you what he didn't say. He didn't say oh, boys, I know it's been rough, boys, I know you've had a long night and how rough it's been.
Speaker 3:He didn't say let me see your blisters. He said be of good cheer, I'm here, it's me. What do you have to cry about? Here I am. Be not afraid, nothing to fear. A shout of praise into his name. That's what God told Joshua. Right, same thing, joshua. If ever there was a time to be a little down, joshua had reason to be a little down. You would expect him to put his head in his and whine a little bit. It's closing time.
Speaker 3:Jericho said we can't get by, we can't get through, we might as well shut it down, turn around, head back. God told him to march around the wall seven times and on the seventh time, shout, blow the ram horn and shout Even though the wall is strong and high. Shout Even when the devil is accusing you or has you in a corner. Shout, and Joshua did. And the walls came tumbling down. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3:Paul and Silas prison jail cell, just took a beating from the guards, thrown back in their cell, back still bleeding and hurting, after the devil had beaten them. And Paul and Silas say hey, let's have a song service, let's have a song service. And I don't know what they sang and I realize this song wasn't around. But I'm thinking something like I'll fly away Some glad morning when this life is over. I'll fly away To that land on God's celestial shore. I'll fly away when it's dark, when it's gloomy and things look bad.
Speaker 3:Shout and sing the praises of God, because there the sun is always shining, hallelujah. There, no tears. Sun is always shining, hallelujah. There, no tears shall dim the eye. Tis no place for gloomy Christians to abide. There, my soul looks up to heaven, where the golden sunlight gleams and I'm living on the hallelujah side. Hallelujah, you know. When we get up in the morning, I don't care, despite how we feel Get up square our shoulders, put a smile on our face, say this is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice therein and be glad Because Jesus is coming, I'm saved, I'm covered by his blood. You see, god was about to give David the throne of Israel. He was about to usher in the greatest time the nation would ever know.
Speaker 3:Just about the time that you and I may think it's time to quit, is the time that God's going to intervene. Just when we get that? I don't know. This doesn't look good. That's when he's going to intervene. Pull us out of the mire. Knock hell back about two miles. Hallelujah. Take Satan out at the mire. Knock hell back about two miles. Hallelujah. Take Satan out at the knees and bless our socks off. You all know, and you've heard me say it a million times, that the last half hour before a miracle is the hardest. Amen. But that's faith. That's faith. That's what faith is all about.
Speaker 3:God told Samuel what are you sitting there mourning for? I have provided. Fill your horn with oil and go. Now that's, I understand that was for anointing, but it has meaning to us as Christians today. That oil, that proverbial oil that Saul was, or Samuel was, to fill his horn with, represents the Holy Ghost. Fill your horn with the Holy Spirit and go. Fill your horn with the Holy Spirit and go. You have the Holy Ghost with you in you, living within you. You know, if we don't have our horn fully filled, our spirit, our soul, if we aren't empowered and led by the Holy Spirit of promise, we don't trust him as our God and you'll miss his comfort. You'll miss, and sometimes we're unteachable. Without the Holy Spirit we become unteachable. You can read it over and over, but without the Holy Ghost headlights you're going to miss it. What he's trying to tell you, you know, without the Holy Spirit we're nothing in this life. As a preacher or teacher, without the Holy Ghost I can do nothing. I can tell you stories, I can read the scripture to you, but I can't do anything Without the Holy Ghost.
Speaker 3:Stephanie and Colette and George and Vicki just voices, just voices, albeit, good voices, but just voices. Hollow notes, only a song. You know it's very rare that and a song has an anointing A song written down. But there are songs and I know they touched on it today I can't. There's a particular verse that Colette sings that has an anointing on it, and I don't care if you could sing that a thousand times a day. Every time you do, I get goosebumps because there's an anointing on one verse in a song. What's up with that? But there are songs that have that same anointing, but rarely the anointing is on the person, the anointing is on the singer, it's on the musician, amen. It isn't on the drums, it's on George. That's the anointing.
Speaker 3:Our church can do nothing without the Holy Ghost, and forgive me if my Pentecost is showing, but unless our horn me if my Pentecost is showing, but unless our horn, our soul, our spirit is filled with the Holy Ghost oil poured in by Jesus, because it's only then that we can have life in our homes, in our businesses, in our hearts, in our churches, in our ministry. And look, we all have a ministry, not just me, not just the ones you see. Come on, everybody in here has a ministry. You may have not discerned it, you may have refused it, but you have a ministry and if you just don't know it, god will reveal it to you. He'll reveal it to you in due time. But without the baptism in the Holy Ghost we can never be what God fully wants us to be. We can come close, we can do a lot of benevolent work, we can do good works, but we can never be what God has called us to do. He told Samuel go, lift up your eyes, put your head up, go, get up, go go. That translates to us go tell someone about Jesus. Pray for somebody, help your neighbor, tell them about Jesus. Pray for somebody, pray your neighbor, tell them about Jesus. Pray for somebody. Pray for everybody, help somebody get to where they're going spiritually. They're looking for answers. You have the answer Pick up the cot, Go.
Speaker 3:So you know when God prepared me to take this church in Harmerville, obviously, but I think I've shared with you. But the day before we were to open, I was cleaning out the filters in my ponds and there's a net in there and I pulled out the net and it was full of baby fish and they. I wasn't expecting that, usually it's just full of crud, but I pulled it out and all these fish are on the gravel now and I'm trying to find them and pick them up and the Lord spoke to me this was on the day before we opened Valley Gospel in Harmerville and he told me these are those you left behind. And I said, lord, I've failed. I've failed you. He said no, I've just seasoned you. He said here's what I want you to do. I want you to pick up those that are lost, those that are under unsound doctrine, those that aren't receiving. I want you to get them back in the pond. Find them. You're going to have to move some gravel, you're going to have to move some rocks. Find them and know this the door has been opened, not by you and really anybody that knows the story. And this is the last thing that I wanted to do. He said the door has been opened by me.
Speaker 3:So I went and as we were preparing the church, and as we were preparing the church, I was painting the trim on the church Big ladder Don't like ladders 40-foot ladder. I'm at the very top painting that I don't know what you call it, but that. And the Lord spoke to me at the top of that ladder and he gave me a list. Oh, here you're giving me a list. You couldn't wait till I'm on the ground. But he gave me a list of the things he wanted to happen in his church and I wrote him down on the back of a Carquest invoice that I happened to have in my pocket, still have it, but at the top of the list and I'll share with you. What was completely on the list another time, but on the top of that list, was to teach and provide opportunity for people to receive the baptism in the Holy Ghost and to operate the church under the anointing.
Speaker 3:Under the anointing, and I've done my best to do that. But how many of you know that there's a difference between a good song and a song sung under the anointing? Right, colette? Difference, not the same. It can be a good song, but under the anointing it's different. There's good preaching, but then there's preaching under the anointing. You can say, boy, that's a great church service, but there's a difference between a service under the anointing.
Speaker 3:John 2 and 20 says you have an unction from the Holy One. An unction, an unction, an unction. Words been on my mind, daniel, all week. An unction, an unction, an unction to function. An unction, an unction, an unction to function. You need an unction to function, knowing that that anointing of the Holy Spirit is that unction that allows you to function as God intended. Glory. You press forward, we press forward despite adversity, despite hard times, despite opposition.
Speaker 3:David was anointed by God, through Samuel, with oil, and not a dab, like we do. We do that right. Huh, quartz, quartz of oil poured over David's head, made according to God's recipe. We did that. We still have, if anybody wants anointing oil, we made it according to God's recipe, right here a couple of years ago. Couple of years ago, david, all he went through his entire life, his difficulties, his personal pain, saul chasing him, trying to kill him that's his life. Rejected as a child even by his brothers, and even his dad put him out in the field. Jesse did All his personal pain, his foibles, his failings. He persevered, he pushed through and he became the greatest leader that Israel ever had, all because of the anointing.
Speaker 3:And I'm telling you, when you leave this sanctuary today, you leave this sanctuary today, god wants to anoint you. So when you go back to your job, your business, back to school, back to day-to-day life, there's a difference. There's a difference, a contentment, an authority, power outages. Don't throw you, amen. You know what Sam the devil's afraid of you because of the anointing. He's afraid of all of you because of that anointing. You cause fear in him. We don't fear him, he fears us.
Speaker 3:Hallelujah, are you ready for it? Not a plan, I had, not something. I said. Here's what I'll do Again. If you know me, you know I don't do that, but I want each one of you who wants to receive just come up for an anointing for wisdom, for power, for courage. The times we live in are hard, amen. The things we're going to face soon. Would you come up for an anointing and I promise I won't pour a quart, bring the quarts out, I'll dab you, all right, but lift your hands high to the Lord, amen, and receive the anointing of the Holy Ghost, amen. I'm stopping here. Would you come and receive the anointing of God if you're led to?
