Jesus is whom I'm talking about tonight. I'll tell you why I'm here in a place with the lights on. When I was in the world, I never performed anywhere with the lights on. It had to be dark. Dirty deeds done in darkness dirt cheap. You know what I mean? :) And I'm standing here in the light. Cold sober! No drugs! I've been set free of drugs nine, ten years right now! I'm set free of drugs. This Jesus I'm talking about set me free. And look how cute He's made me. :) Praise God.
You know, we've had some wild things going on at the house this past couple of weeks. In the night we've had satan worshippers dropping off skinned animals at the house. But you know what? Everywhere we go people are getting set free. People are getting saved by the blood of Jesus. I came home from Dallas Texas. We had five hundred people at that outreach get set free. We had girls who were nude dancers; we had prostitutes. We had a man and his wife get baptized in water the third night. They had three children. And they both had been drug addicts. They got set free of crack cocaine. We're doing it wide open in the light of day and in the light of lights here. And I'm not embarassed about my Lord and Savior. These people must be paranoid. They must be embarassed about what they are doing. Because they do it in the middle of the night. But I'll take that trade-off any time. I'll take five hundred souls for Jesus and let somebody pour blood on the mailbox any day, big deal.
Psalm 91 says, He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Hallelujah Jesus!
Then, let me tell you somethin'. I'm just telling you how strong my Lord is. We've gotten some phone calls. This demon on the phone says, ------(different things). :) And they targeted me for a certain time. But let me tell you somethin' here. Acts 18:10 says, For I am with thee. And no man shall set on thee to hurt thee. For I have much people in this city. How many people do we have in Bakersfield? Praise the Lord.
Brother Bert, Brother Phil, how many of you guys are Spirit-filled here? I want you to come with me. I want you to pray in intercession while I'm singing I Exalt Thee, pray for people out there to get set free of drugs, and alcohol, and bondages. Would you guys feel lead to come? I'll tell you, when I was in the world, I used to say, 'I fight back.' Well, we're going to fight back tonight. There going to be thousands of people set free by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ tonight. If you've been bound up, you give your heart to Jesus right now. And you say, 'Father, I repent. Forgive me my sins. Jesus, I receive you as my Lord and Savior.' And while I'm singing I Exalt Thee, you pray that the Lord delivers you, in Jesus' name.
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but through Me. All you brothers and sisters that are here; everyone of us in this place; and everywhere else; that have come to know the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ have been totally set free. It's freedom that you can't buy in the world. There are people that are standing on this stage that have made millions of dollars, me included. But, I'm going to tell you somethin'. What the world has to offer stinks without Jesus in your heart. You guys just intercede up here.
I EXALT THEE [755k .wav file, 35 sec.]
For Thou, Oh Lord, art high above all the earth
Thou art exalted high above all gods
If you need to be set free in this place, you receive it now from Jesus.
For Thou, Oh Lord, art [so very] high above all the earth
Thou art exalted high above all gods
I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee [my Lord], I exalt Thee [yeah], Oh my Lord
I raise my hands to You [my Jesus]
Sing my praise to You
I exalt Thee [yeah], Oh my Lord
If you need to be set free, you come right on up here. People are going to pray for you. Come from all around. Any one. You want to rededicate your life to Jesus, you come up here and do it. This alter is open tonight. Praise God that we have the freedom to do that.
For Thou, Oh Lord, art high above all the earth
Thou art exalted high above all gods
How many of you want to rededicate you're life to Jesus tonight? Wave at me. Come on up here, brother.
I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee
There are people here to pray with you that have been set free by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. We're not playing games. Jesus loves you. Come and get what you need now - the Lord Jesus Christ.
[My king, my Jesus] I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee [yeah], Oh my Lord
Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Today is the day of salvation. I had no designs on doing this when I stood up tonight. But the Lord loves you so much, that He has called you forth at this time. You say, I'm not ready to make a decision tonight. Well, you just did. Your decision was 'No'. But from this day forward you better know where you stand. And you better stand strong for Jesus. Because He is your hope; He is your resurrection; He is your life, eternal life, by His precious blood.
I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee [my Lord]
I exalt Thee, Oh-oh, my Lord
I exalt Thee [my King, my Jesus]
I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee, Oh-oh-oh-oh Lord.
Praise the Lord. Praise God. Praise God. You stay right here if you came up. You people that came forward, you stay right here. How many of you are ready to dedicate your life to Jesus right now? Raise your hand. How many of you out there are ready to dedicate your life? Well, you should have come down, but it's cool that you are there. You've acknowledged Him. God said, When you call upon the name of the Lord, in no way will I cast you out. You're not coming to me; you're not coming to a religion; you're not coming to any kind of situation or lifestyle or some sort of development. You're coming to Jesus, the Lord and Savior. I want everyone - let's here it for Jesus!
You know I said, when I was up here, that I used to say, when I was in the world, 'You better watch it because I hit back.' But let me tell you somethin'. Maybe we're taking a few hits, but we're hitting back. We've got the power of the blood of Jesus. We've got the victory. Greater is He who is in us, then he who is in the world. I want everyone in this place to pray with me to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. I don't care if you've done it a hundred times. Pray it in support of these people who are doing it for the first time. If you want to rededicate your life, how many of you are rededicating your lives tonight? Where are you? Praise God! Look at these hands. Man, you guys did some outreach here. Praise God!
I want you to all pray with me. Praise God. Praise God. Everybody, bow your heads and say, 'Father, I come before you in Jesus' name. I'm a sinner and I've blown it. I've done wrong. But, Jesus, I know You died for me. Jesus, I turn away from the mess. I turn away from my past. Jesus, I receive You now as my Lord and Savior. I open my heart to You. Wash me in Your blood. Clean up my mind; clean up my heart; clean up my flesh [body]. Fill me with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, I receive You now into my life. I turn away from darkness. And I turn to You, Jesus. Help me when I fall. Lift me up and love me and take care of me. From this day forward I am saved; I am born-again; I'm under the power of the blood of Jesus Christ, forever and ever. Hallelujah! Amen and amen. Praise the Lord.
And now we're going to pray. We're going to bind demons from the pit of hell off everyone here, and everyone watching out there who wants to receive Jesus tonight. Father, we come before you in Jesus' name. We praise you for sending Your Son, Jesus, to break the back of Satan. For there is power in the blood of Jesus. I pray in the name of Jesus now. And I take authority over you, Satan. I bind every power, every principality, every spirit that would attack anyone in this place, and our loved ones, and all those who are out there tonight who are going to come to know Jesus, or who have received Him tonight as Lord and Savior. I Bind You, Satan. I rip you out by the roots. I cast you away in the name above all names, Jesus the Messiah. [tongues] Father God, I pray that You will send warring angels to do battle for each and everyone of us. That You will protect our families and our loved ones. That You will deliver us from what we have gotten ourselves into in the past. Break all bondages. Break all yokes. I take authority over a spirit of witchcraft and occult. Every curse that is prayed against a born-again Christian, may it go back sevenfold upon that one who has prayed it, until the time that they will repent and come to know Jesus, and receive Him as Lord and Savior. We praise You for Your delivering grace, Jesus. Holy Spirit, You're welcome in this place. Amen and amen!
My Deepest Love,
Jeff
