[screaming and groaning]

Quiet. Quiet. I've understood that I've needed freedom and I've known it for a long time. I make you weak. I take your strength from you. I was I'm just under the anointing and he gives a touch and that thing came right up. You spirit of murder back to the pit.

Hallelujah. I was probably in that realm of skeptic of everything power of God

[applause and music]

and then I began to see his ways. Church is not entertainment.

Amen. Church is a hospital where there are hurting people. Because of God, I'm free.

Because of God, I'm free.

Because of God, I am

Because of God, I

Because of God, I am whole.

My name's Steven. I'm coming from Marina del Rey. I've understood that I've needed freedom

and I've known it for a long time and I've worked with just kind of suppressing and and things like that cuz uh given the nature from what I was set free from no way once anything to do with anything violent towards anybody or hurting anybody or this so you kind of uh just just live life compressed, you know, you're just kind of compressing it in.

[snorts]

Um but I knew it. I I I knew that if I I was serious and I woke up early, got to church before it even got I mean I'm parked there serious like God, I know I need you to move. Um

and then when the prophet walked by he I I knew I could feel the anointing. I could actually still pull on the anointing uh when he walked out on stage I I could actually pull on it. Then he got closer I'm like I was so I'm just under the anointing and he gives a touch and that thing came right up. And after that it's a whirlwind. Fortunately somebody grabbed the glasses cuz they're still good. Um freedom after that. Grateful for that. Who are you?

BROKEN. WHO ARE YOU? HUH? MURDER.

[screaming and groaning]

QUIET. QUIET. WHO ARE YOU shouting at like that? I I don't know no watch this watch I make you weak. I take your strength from you. I make your strength from you. Yes. I take your strength from you. You have no strength here.

You are weak. I empty you of every strength you have. I take it from you. I take it from you.

I take it from you. You spirit of murder back to the pit. HALLELUJAH. COME ON. HALLELUJAH. ONLY JESUS CAN DO IT. HALLELUJAH. Thank you, Lord.

I release him into his ministry. I release him into his calling.

Yes, God. I release him into his calling.

[cheering]

He shall fulfill what God called him to do in the name of Jesus.

[cheering]

applause

Father, thank you. Thank you, Father.

I make you free in Jesus name.

It's okay, young man. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up. Come. Woo. Hallelujah. HALLELUJAH.

[cheering]

applause

THANK YOU, LORD JESUS. Mighty God, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Father for remembering us. Thank you, Lord.

Listen, people are suffering.

Yes. Listen to me. People are suffering. Church is not a game. Church is not entertainment.

Amen. Church is a hospital where there are hurting people. This is not just about hearing about Jesus. It's about seeing Jesus rescue young men, young women,

children.

Yeah. That is what this is about.

I want you to hear this and understand this. It's about helping people.

Imagine this young man came to church.

He may have experienced torment but he may not have not known what was really plaguing his life.

Be serious about God. Amen.

Never give ear to anyone that does not demonstrate Jesus. Amen.

Apostle Paul said the kingdom of God is not in words

but in the demonstration. If there's no demonstration, run. Amen. You may be dying and you don't know.

This is the danger of being where there is no manifestation of God. I know they like to tell you oh you just need the word. That's a lie. The word is telling you you need his presence. You need his manifestation. You need his deliverance. That is the evidence of the word.

That is the evidence OF THE WORD.

THIS DOORS WERE not open so that you come and see me. It's never been about me. I've never made it about me.

Honoring a man of God is good but I've never told you to idolize me. And honor is not bad. It's a good thing. If you find a man of God that you see Jesus through them, stick to them. Look to them as they point you to Christ. Nothing wrong with that. But don't listen to people who talk and do nothing. I don't care if they have 10,000 people, 15,000 people, 30,000 people. It don't matter. Those may be dying people.

Our Lord never went anywhere. Listen to me. Without setting people free.

He never sent anyone to preach without the ability to set people free.

[cheering and applause]

That is the great commission.

It's about setting the captives free. Whatever that captivity is, he anointed us to do it. Not just pick up your authority. Let's gather prophetic word. That is why I thank God I am a born prophet. I carry it for real. Because if I was just prophesying without demonstration, don't listen to me.

Where's the verification of the word? After I have spoken, did it happen?

If it didn't happen, don't listen to me.

Man of God, go. Jesus has set you free. Hallelujah. And may what he has given me may he also give you to set many free.

Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord Jesus. So I was probably in that realm of skeptic of everything power of God 10 plus years ago until my life got to a place where I was so desperate for him that all I did was seek him. And then I began to see his ways and I began to know that's of God, that's not of God. So if you're close to him, you're going to know what's of God.

[snorts]

And you're going to be led by his spirit. Cuz God has a funny way of showing stuff that people's real, right? If you don't believe in prophecy, you might have somebody give you a prophetic word direct for your life. Right? A dire situation that you might have needed. Uh but it's all real. I mean

[singing]

if people don't believe I I wouldn't That's okay.

[singing]

Seek and you will find. Just draw draw near to him and he will draw near to you. And if you're really pressing after God, you're going to wind up free. And if you're learning his ways that's it. Just make him single. Just just go after him and there's not a single time that's ever failed me. There's been a lot of there's about a hundred different snares along the way even in some sometimes on on your path to God. You could you could get lost in a fence. You could get lost in all these different things but if you just seek after him and you walk in obedience to him, he'll take care of you. Often times he'll teach you that he'll take care of you on the back end. So don't be so consumed with yourself.

Just keep serving him. Right? I mean 10 years I fought this thing. Just kept chasing after him. Kept going. Where are we going? On the streets? Okay, God. Here we go. You just keep going. I mean I've driven across the country. Just keep going.

Ministry or just you just keep pressing forward after him

[snorts]

and he'll make sure you get it cuz he wants to train you to not be in so involved with yourself that you can live selfless for others and he'll do it on the back end. That's at least what God has shown me. That you don't have to be consumed with yourself

and go crazy in your mind. Um and ultimately I've only ever had to come to a come to the end of myself

music

and get free from pride.

Oh. Yeah, there's not a single time where somebody's name wasn't attacked and slandered out of the people that I've seen. And I hold those people in such respect because I've seen people who've had to flee their houses or because of persecution in different countries because of what they were doing in in where where religious strongholds or just go to church and they start doing deliverance and

they have to leave the country and I've seen it. Just thank you for

[snorts]

still holding the line, not not giving in. I know you love God and that's I'm grateful for that. I I

[music and singing]

wouldn't be the way I am right now if I wasn't got min- didn't get ministered to. So, I'm incredibly grateful. I really am. I can feel the power. [singing] I can feel the power. Oh, I can feel [singing and music] the power.
