GARY: A lady goes to the bathroom, another lady is in the stall next to her. She’s sitting there and she’s just thanking God crying. And the other lady’s thanking God and they come out of the stall together and they say, “What’s going on in your life”” She goes “I just thank God I received a car.” She [the other lady] goes “You know God just told me to give my car.” So you got the idea. (audience laughs) So they both come out of the ladies room together and they’re shouting, going “YES.” –So I said what– You know not the normal event, you know. So somebody said, “Pastor, you got to hear this testimony.” I said “What happened?” She goes “I was in one stall giving a car, she’s in the other stall receiving a car.” I said “We all got to go to the bathroom!”
AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER)
GARY: You know, so– I mean it wasn’t the bathroom, it was the freedom that they had and the freedom that you have puts you in places that are supernatural. It puts you in environments that God moves and not your circumstances. ….I was worried over a car for days and weeks but it was ended by just one event. So I want you to get history forgotten, and worry off you! You cannot marry the result. Listen about promises. Most people think promises are God will give me an answer. God never gave you a promise to give you an answer. You say, “What do I pray for? Don’t I pray for answers?” What did Peter say, he said, “God has given to us exceeding great and precious promises that by these we may be partakers of the divine nature.” If God promised you healing, you have the nature of the Healer. God promised you prosperity, you have the nature of the God who owns everything. God promised you a sound mind, you have Him who’s made you wisdom. God promised you peace, you have Shalom in you, He is the Prince of peace. The promises do not command a result, the promises give you the access to Nature. So we’re going to do something. We’re going to hear God clearly. It’s not going to be about what worries you. It’s not going to be about what has affected you. It’s going to be about what God is speaking to you. And I guarantee you He’s not talking about what you’re thinking about. He’s not talking to you about what you’re worried about. As a matter of fact, if you do what He says, everything that affects you He will perfect in the direction you take that God’s speaking. Everything will be manifest. I remember when Faye and I were going through our divorce I finally got to the place I could care less if she ever got back with me. I was so excited just to have Jesus and His life and His power. and then He spoke to me and He said “Today your marriage is restored.” I said, “What marriage?” I mean I had stopped praying for it. I was standing in it, but the burden, the weight, the worry, the anxiety was over. It didn’t have me anymore. So I want you to get if off of you right now. You see we just did this a little while ago, but some of us just didn’t do it yet. All right? Everybody lift up your hands. I want you to say with me–
[GARY PRAYS AND AUDIENCE REPEATS AFTER PHRASE BY PHRASE]
Father; I am a new creation; there’s only One that lives in me; and He’s severed me from my past; I forget those things which are behind; and He give me life; life that is mine; to walk with Him; a Voice that I hear; His Spirit working in me; to will and to do of His good pleasure; so Father; I release You; from all my expectation; to do exceeding abundantly; above all; that I’ve ever asked or thought; I release You; from all obligation; all expectation; so I have; the expectation from you; and I am releasing You; from the expectation from me; God I am Yours; I hear You–
[SILENCE]
GARY: Okay? Let me ask you a question. How many of you didn’t have one worry going across your mind? How many of you didn’t have one thought about your past even speaking to you? That’s a hundred percent. How many of you stepped into an atmosphere that words just started flooding you? –Impartation. Conscious perception. Sometimes we think God speaks in words, He speaks in pictures. He said in Habakkuk: “I want to stand to see what God says to me and what I shall answer when I am reproved.” Habakkuk. God, we see what He says, we don’t necessarily hear the sentence structure. We get the “impression of the impart.” How many of you got that? So something’s going on here. We didn’t even talk about praying in tongues. As a matter of fact, you don’t have to pray in tongues to hear God. Because you’re a child of God you hear Him.
