Lord, we are in a famine in this
land.
A famine of hearing the word of the
Lord, and it's going to get worse.
It's going to rage, and many are going
to starve spiritually and fall by the wayside
on the right and on the left.
Oh God, open our eyes and our hearts
and our understanding this morning.
Let us hear the living Word of God.
Sanctify me.
Let the Word go forth in power, unction,
anointing of the Holy Spirit, I pray in
Jesus' name.
I take authority over every demon spirit, every
prince of Pontian, power of darkness.
There shall be nothing, nothing hinder the Word
of the Lord this morning.
Give us hearing ears to hear.
Lord, anoint me.
Give me the power, the fire of the
Holy Ghost this morning to speak your mind.
You put your mind in my heart, now
deliver it through me.
I yield my body as a vessel to
the Holy Ghost.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Name me one Jeremiah type preacher on television.
Name me one man who stands unashamedly, not
afraid of his income, not afraid of anything.
Name one in the media now that's standing
up like Jeremiah or John the Baptist.
Where are they?
Where are the voices?
The pulpit was meant to be a burning
bush, where a fire was never to go
out.
And the man who stood in that sacred
pulpit is supposed to be a man shut
in with God, a man who waits on
God in God's presence till he hears the
Word of the Lord, until he hears from
the throne of God.
And he comes out and stands before the
people with the mind of God.
And he's to preach with plainness the Scripture
said, a speech not in the wisdom of
man.
He's to preach with spiritual authority.
He's to be absolutely fearless.
He's to name sin.
He's to be the voice of the living
God in these last days.
This is a burning bush.
And the more you draw closer to the
heart of Jesus, and the more the heavens
are open to you, and the more you
see of his power and his glory and
his holiness, the more you're going to shine
forth as a light.
And I want you to know when that
light comes, you won't go around boasting about
it, because when Moses came down from the
glory, his face was shining so much that
he had to cover his face with a
veil.
But the Bible said he wished not that
his face did shine.
He wasn't even aware of that.
He wasn't flaunting it.
He didn't rip it off, say, take a
look, I'm a man of God.
He put on no prophetic airs.
He didn't threaten anybody.
He wasn't even aware that he was walking
in such holiness.
He wasn't aware that his face was so
ablaze with the glory and the presence of
Almighty God.
He didn't even know his face did shine.
He wished not that his face did shine.
