It's Supernatural

LARRY:  How come you can’t control it in church? That’s because it’s, “cause it’s learned behavior, it’s it’s… but authentic weirdness you’re weirded at Walmart… you’re in the middle of the line you’re going “Bwhoaaaa, give me that!” You know, I mean, that, to me that’s like… and authentically weird people you know how you can tell them? They think they’re normal and everybody else is weird.

AUDIENCE:  (LAUGHTER)

LARRY:  But weird people are precursors to brilliance. Einstein was weird! You read about him. He was weird, but he was brilliant as well. And he was accused of being out of his mind. And he was just out of their mind. So I want to… I want to warn you and I want to encourage you. I want to warn you that the greatest thing you can do is posture yourself. There’s nothing, no word greater right now than the word “posture.” And “posture” means you obey what God tells you to do. The safest place to be is in the will of God. And it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Noah didn’t understand “Ark.” Have you listened to Bill Cosby’s thing? You know, uh, what, anyway. Noah, when God says build an ark God might as well have been speaking in tongues. It never rained before? I mean, it never rained before? And there… he’d didn’t know, he’d never seen a boat and God says build a boat and it’s going to rain. God said “Hey, Noah” (Larry does tongues). He said something to his wife. God told me to (Larry does tongues). She goes what is (Larry does tongues).

AUDIENCE:  (LAUGHING)

LARRY:  He goes I don’t know but I got to, I got to do it. And everybody’s laughing. They go what’s he doing? He goes I’m (Larry tongues). But when the rain comes and they’re going… (Larry imitates choking) and they’re drowning outside, they’re going (Larry does tongues).

AUDIENCE:  (LAUGHING)

LARRY:  Oh yeah, you know, can I get in? Knocking on the door! Hey listen, reality always sounds weird at first appearance because you’ve never seen it before. New stuff always looks weird! You know that. The first time you bought that dress or pair of pants or got that haircut, you go “that’s stupid” until about three months later you think you’re cool. Because change is frightening to humans. We’re creatures of comfort and habit. We don’t want to change. Listen, I know what you’re thinking. Someone said to me, “Well God, I’m not changing, I’m like God, God says God never changes.” I said, “He don’t but you sure should!”

AUDIENCE:  (LAUHTER)

That’s the dominion.  That’s what God planned from the beginning.  What we lost in Adam was gained in the Messiah, in Christ.  Man lost that dominion.  He turned over the keys, but Jesus said in Matthew 16, “Who do men say that I am?” and Peter says, “Thou art the Christ, the Messiah”.  Jesus says, “True and upon that revelation of who I am, I’m going to build the church, going to give you the keys to the kingdom and what you bind on earth is bound in heaven and what you loose on earth is loosed in heaven”.  This is what you have.  This is what’s been given to you by the offensive One.  Death reigned, much more they which receive of the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign.  Glory to God.  Now, this is true of all believers; all believers can reign, but see when you get baptized with the Holy Ghost, when you get filled and you’re energized and you’re activated with the gifts of the Spirit.  You’re talking unlimited power, for the Glory of God.  And again, as I said earlier, it’s time for us to turn the world right-side up.  The early church turned it upside down and I just know, God is coming back and He’s coming back for a victorious church.  He’s not coming back for a wimp.  He’s not coming for something defeated.  No, He’s coming back for a church that is triumphant, victorious.  We’ve overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.  Amen.  Understanding the gifts of the Spirit and incorporating them into our daily lives so the supernatural is our natural natural.  And I mentioned this to you earlier, but when, you know, because people all of time are saying, “How are you doing?” not that they really care, but you want to get a great reaction try this.  Say, when they say, “How are you doing?”… “Super-naturally”.  Amen?  Got to put that pause in there, “super-naturally”, amen?  It’s more natural for me to be supernatural than natural natural.  Amen.  Okay, gifts of the Spirit, laying a foundation.  A guy in my office some time ago, went home for Christmas and he brought back what I call “the shining lady in the market testimony” and I honestly believe this is how God is going to bring about the great revival that we’re on the leading edge of right now.  But this lady was in the market, she was shopping and had a tomato in her hand.  And a little girl came up to her as she’s holding the tomato and the little girl said, “How do you do that?”  The lady looks at the tomato and she says, “Well, I squeeze it to see if it’s fresh.”  And the little girl said, “No, how do you shine?”  She was talking about the lady’s countenance.  And this is something, God put this on my heart all the way back to 1979, when I began to study the supernatural and God said to do what Jesus did.

MICHAEL BROWN: It’s all a true story. I was 16 years old. I had taken enough hallucinogenic drugs for 30 people. And I thought I was losing my mind. It was one in the morning. I was in the neighborhood where I grew up. I was sitting by the side of the road then I said, “I’m burning in hell!” I thought this is just terrible! I felt like I was thought I was losing my mind, all these drugs in my system. Way too much for a human being to take. And I decided I’m going to end it all. I’m going to do like they do in the movies. I’m going to jump out in the road and I’m going to throw myself in front of a car. And I’m going to end it. So I saw a car coming around the corner. I jumped out in front of the car, threw my hands in the air. The car came to a screeching halt! It was my parents. Someone had seen me on the road. They got worried. They went and told my parents what was going on. My parents were looking for me. If not for them being the ones coming around that corner I wouldn’t be here telling you my story more than 46 years later.

You say, “But, weren’t you a good Jewish kid?” Yeah! My dad was the senior lawyer in the New York Supreme Court, Bar Mitzvah’d 13 years old. I was basically a good normal kid, playing sports with my friends, going to school, but, you know the big event for me when I was 13? It wasn’t my Bar Mitzvah, I gotta be honest. The big event for me, I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert! Yeah, I went to the rock concerts. I was playing drums in a rock band. I had long hair. I was a hippie kid and it was the whole culture of the 60s and break all the rules. And I wanted to be like these rock stars so I started smoking pot, one thing lead to another before you knew it, I was doing heavy drugs. Before you knew it I was doing so many drugs that became my nickname: drug bear, iron man. Because I could do more drugs than anybody. Well this night I took too many. But, you know, the next day I thought look at me. I did it. I survived. Look at how much drugs I can take and live to talk about it. But I had friends who were praying for me. They’d had a new spiritual experience. They had come to know God personally. This one called Jesus, Yayshu, Yeshua. He had radically changed their lives and they started praying for me and God started to work in my life. I didn’t want to change. I liked the lifestyle I was leading. I wanted to be a rockstar, I wanted to be a drummer. I wanted to get high. But God showed me I was sinning against Him. And God showed me that Jesus died to take my place. And when I cried out to Yeshua, when I asked God to forgive me, he set me free. December 17^th, 1971. I said I will never put a needle in my arm again and from that day on I’ve been free. Oh, not just that, my whole life is changed, filled with joy, filled with love. I know God personally. I live 24/7 without guilt, without shame. That’s what Jesus, Yeshua, did in my life. He wants to do the same for you. If you’ll ask God to change you. He’ll meet you. He’ll have mercy on you. He’ll give you a new heart.

Can you say that with me?  Accomplish His will on the earth.  Amen.  So important, not your will; His will be done.  Well, what I want to do is let’s look at what is the will of God because it’s, I think significant to recognize, I think it was brother Hagan that taught me this; but faith begins where the will of God is known.  So for you to get out of the tank, the limited atmosphere, the environment that you’ve lived in and go into the bigness of God’s sea with unlimited ability, no boundaries; you have to have again, the foundation.  What is God’s will?  So if you know God’s will then again, you can operate in faith and that’s what we want to do.  Again, laying the foundation here for the operation of the gifts of the Spirit.  So what I’ve done here and we’re going to look at this in a bit more detail, but I’ve listed here, five “I will’s” and I thought, “Oh no” because that was Satan’s downfall, his five “I will’s” in Isaiah 14 and then God came back with His five “I will’s”, but these are five, what I see, “I will’s”.  This is God’s will for you and I.  That when we know the will of God, again, faith can operate.  So, what is His will?  Well, number one, to do what Jesus did and greater.  To have a life and have it more abundant.  I’m going to look at that in a minute here.  We’ll go through each one of these individually, but that’s what Jesus said, “I come that you might have life and have it more abundant” and that His will be done on earth.  Remember that, the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”?  And then to have dominion on the earth, and then to reign in life.  Again, as I was putting this PowerPoint together, I don’t usually do this, but this morning as I was ministering I recognized I forgot one of the most important of all of the “I will’s”.  God’s will for your life.  Again, when you know His will, then you can begin to operate at a higher level because you know His will.  Well, I left out in my list here, one of the most important “I will’s” and that is from Timothy, and Paul writing to Timothy, and Paul said to Timothy, “God’s will is no man perish”.  He will’s for all men to get saved, amen?  I’m not sure how I missed that in my list here, but that is probably the number one will.  That’s why Jesus came as the Messiah.  John 3:16, “…whoever believes in Him would have everlasting life”, amen?  So, His will is that people don’t die.  His will is that people go to heaven and one of the ways that you’re going to rescue people out of the New Age and out of the occult and out of different cults and groups is by the demonstration of the gifts of the Spirit.

My personal belief is, we have yet to see the greater works.  As great as all the signs and wonders and miracles did, I honestly believe that as I have prayed, in particularly over these last four months as I have really said OK God what are we doing here?  Where are we going?  And what I know that I know is God wants you to know how to walk in the supernatural.  And I honestly believe with all of my heart, we haven’t scratched the surface of our potential; of the reality of what God wants to accomplish here on planet earth in these closing pages of history.  But I do believe this, I believe that the way that God is orchestrating, the way He’s had me put this together in kind of a different format as opposed to teaching the basic, you know, get saved, get baptized with the Holy Ghost and understand the gifts of the Spirit.  I’m approaching here from a whole different paradigm and that is helping you to understand the principles and precepts with faith, the will of God and understanding how God works.  So that then, with that as a foundation, we can now bring in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and you’re going to operate at a much higher level.  Praise God.  And I’ll tell you this, just as kind of a peek into the future, the gifts of the Spirit are just the beginning of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.  Glory to God.  Now I want to show you something from the Word of God in terms of the miracles that Jesus did.  We have in the Bible, as recorded in the Bible, approximately thirty-five miracles, depending on how you count miracles.  If you count the miracle of the miraculous birth, we account the ascension; some say upwards of forty miracles.  Actually there’s some miracles, we’re going to get back to this in a few minutes here, but there are some miracles that aren’t even accounted that in my opinion are some of the most significant miracles, and again, we’ll come back to that.  But, when we look at the miracles that we have, we need to look at them categorically.  As an example, the very first miracle that Jesus did was turning the water to wine.  Well, people might say, “Well that’s not a miracle that we need much today because I don’t drink” or “Who needs wine?”   Well, the greater miracle is what happened in the miracle and what we see in this miracle is molecular change.  Glory to God.  Jesus turned the water into wine.  Now what’s interesting about this, as again, as we dig into this and a little bit in this study, but we’re going to be looking at the science of the miraculous, the science of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  Because again, if you can understand the simplicity from a scientific perspective and understand that God works within the laws of creation; which I’ll come back to, I’m getting a little ahead of myself here.  But God works within the laws of creation to accomplish His will.
