=== The Power of the Word (03:06) ===

[00:00:00]  You really don't hardly ever use notes.
[00:00:02]  You don't, you just, and God just pours it out, and it's the word, the word, the word, the word.
[00:00:10]  It's the power, people.
[00:00:11]  The word is all there is when we're what we're coming into.
[00:00:15]  And there's some mighty things that are going to happen.
[00:00:19]  We better know the words.
[00:00:21]  And the word, when you preach in the word, it has power.
[00:00:26]  It does.
[00:00:27]  He said, the word that goes out of my mouth will not come back to him void.
[00:00:30]  It will accomplish the purpose for which he sends it.
[00:00:32]  And that's what we've got to do, guys.
[00:00:34]  We've got to study the word.
[00:00:36]  Now, I'll help you.
[00:00:37]  Some people say to Bobby, I read the Bible, but I can't retain it.
[00:00:42]  I'm going to break that off of you because here's a verse that breaks that off of you.
[00:00:45]  God did not give us the spirit of fear, but love, power, and a sound mind.
[00:00:50]  The word sound mind there means a mind that can catalog and retain facts.
[00:00:54]  And I'm telling you, you can memorize the word of God.
[00:00:57]  It's the only book on the planet that guarantees you success if you'll memorize it.
[00:01:02]  Joshua 1.8 said, the words of this law shall not depart from your eyes.
[00:01:06]  You shall meditate upon them day and night, and it will guarantee you overwhelming success.
[00:01:12]  So we got to learn to memorize the word of God.
[00:01:14]  Now, the millennials are not going to be wild about this, but let me warn you.
[00:01:18]  I love studying on the computer.
[00:01:20]  It's a great tool.
[00:01:22]  You can't memorize the Bible electronically.
[00:01:26]  Get you a paperback Bible.
[00:01:29]  Get where you can run your finger over it and mark on it, and it somehow saturates into your brain better.
[00:01:35]  Somehow, when you change the tablet, you can't remember what you just read.
[00:01:40]  Now, I know it's a great tool to use to study fast and pull up all the words, but get you a paper Bible and just wear it out.
[00:01:47]  People ask me, they go, how did you memorize the Bible?
[00:01:50]  And maybe I can bring them sometimes.
[00:01:52]  I've wore out a stack of Bibles.
[00:01:54]  This is the honesty of God truth.
[00:01:56]  I studied it till the oil on my fingers wore the print off the page.
[00:02:00]  Here's what the Lord told me.
[00:02:01]  He said, you better do that again.
[00:02:02]  Let me tell you about the Bible.
[00:02:04]  You never see it twice the same way.
[00:02:06]  It's like a diamond.
[00:02:07]  Same diamond.
[00:02:08]  You get it into another atmosphere, it gives back to you.
[00:02:12]  Jim, we're in the most revelatory season of any generation.
[00:02:16]  We're in Matthew 13, 16 and 17.
[00:02:19]  That verse says, Blessed are your eyes, for they see.
[00:02:23]  Blessed are your ears, for they hear.
[00:02:25]  Many desire to see what you see.
[00:02:27]  Many deeply desired to hear what you hear, but to them it was not permitted.
[00:02:32]  I want you to know something.
[00:02:33]  Every morning we are to pray.
[00:02:35]  Ephesians 1, 17 and 18.
[00:02:38]  Lord, I pray that the eyes of my heart would be flooded with revelatory light.
[00:02:43]  I would have a grasp and a comprehension of the ways of God.
[00:02:46]  So we've got to do that.
[00:02:47]  But I'm so thankful how that you're a man of God and the word of God flows out of you guys.

=== Through the Flood, Into Provision (00:35) ===

[00:02:52]  I'm thrilled to see this ministry.
[00:02:54]  I really mean that.
[00:02:55]  We've been friends for a long, long time.
[00:02:57]  I want you to know something.
[00:03:00]  He is stirring the pot.
[00:03:04]  He's not going to let you slumber through this time.
[00:03:07]  Listen, we have got to prepare the people for what's coming.
[00:03:10]  You say, no, Bobby, don't you think everything's going to be all right?
[00:03:15]  Yeah, it's going to be all right in the end.
[00:03:17]  When we come through the water, through the flood, he brings us into a wealthy place, a place of his provision.
[00:03:22]  But I'm telling you guys, we can't just sit by and go, oh, God will take care of it.
