YOU ARE AS CLOSE TO THE FATHER AS YOU WANT TO BE
In the early days of our evangelistic travels, Arlis and I found ourselves on the East Coast of this great country. With a few days between commitments, we joined two of our best friends and headed for the Big Apple. New York City. Times Square. The Statue of Liberty. The Empire State Building. New York pizza.
And at the end of the day, Broadway and the hit show Evita.
What a whirlwind day that was, so much so it's still clear in my memory. As we stood in line at the ticket booth, I realized our limited finances as gospel ministers required us to purchase the ticket on the top balcony.
As we were ascending the levels of balconies, I knew now why they called it the "nosebleed section." My eyes were younger then, but I still couldn't recognize the faces I was looking at on the stage below me.
The sad point of this whole story is I wanted to be closer to the performers, but I couldn't afford the ticket.
The good news is that the ticket has already been paid for you to come as close as you want to your heavenly Father's throne and fellowship with him daily.
The Scriptures tell us that Jesus made a way where they had not been a way before. Men and women before the cross could not boldly come before the throne of God like Paul declares we can do.
Only after the resurrection could Jesus tell his disciples to ask largely from the Father, in the name of Jesus, and they would receive what they asked for.
There are no excuses not to be as close as you want to be to the Father of all spirits and the Savior Jesus Christ. After all, in Matthew 7:7, Jesus said, "Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you seek and keep on seeking, and you will find knock, and keep on knocking at the door will be open for you."
Don't let anyone discourage you from having a private personal relationship with the Father, so wonderfully intense and sweet that you won't have words to express the joy of it all.
No one is in front of you; go on in. You're next in line.

FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT
My father was a 'sage,' and he always quoted something from the Proverbs of Solomon to support his wisdom. Our family established two repetitive habits we faithfully did all my young life.
Throughout the day, my mother or father would read the Proverbs for that day. There are 31 chapters in Proverbs, and most months have 31 days. Our apostle, dad's pastor, as a young man, taught us that spiritual activity.
The second thing we did religiously was never take a trip in the car without quoting the 91st Psalm: "He that dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."
"Remove your foot from your neighbor's house lest he become weary of you."
I can't tell you how many times I've heard those proverbs quoted to me. They have saved me a lot of heartache over the years.
It seems that Jesus had the same problem in Matthew 13. After having a very successful teaching time by the seashore, in the first part of Matthew 13, he decided to go home.
As it turns out, the Home folks rejected him because he was just too familiar to them. Interestingly enough, they were stunned, dazed, amazed, taken back, and blown away by his wisdom and revelation.
In any normal circumstance, you would think that would have locked them into believing God and his messenger, Jesus.
No, it didn't. And the reason why? Most people make a common mistake when it comes to spiritual things versus natural things.
They were looking at the natural source for his wisdom and revelation instead of the spiritual source.
They said, " We know this guy. He's from our hometown. He doesn't even have a degree in theology, nor has he been to the seminary. "
I'll bet you I've heard that before in some of your church or private experiences. Church people are as guilty as anyone else by judging a man or woman of God by their age, their height, their degree of education, or where they're from—shame on us.
It's tuneup time, folks. It's time to tune into the spiritual world and listen to what God says about his kingdom and our future development.

FIVE THINGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME
NUMBER ONE, SON, BE KIND AND FORGIVING.
"And be kind one to another tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you." The Scriptures tell us that you must show yourself friendly if you want friends. In so many words, it's telling us that kindness attracts people to you.
Forgiveness toward others is the bedrock principle of Christian living; without it, you will crash and burn quickly. The scriptures tell us that if we forgive, we will be forgiven; if we don't forgive, we get bound up in our soul until we let forgiveness flow toward others.
NUMBER TWO. SHARE YOUR TOYS
Generosity is contagious in the Scriptures. They tell us that if we give to others, more will be given back to us by others. It goes on to say to us that the liberal soul will become fat. That's Bible talk for becoming prosperous.
Something happens to the personality and the emotions of a person who clutches everything to himself. After a while, people shy away from personal contact because they know you're not a generous person.
NUMBER THREE. BUTTON YOUR COAT
When you get onto a commercial airliner, the stewardess first tells you that if the oxygen mask comes down, put it on you before you put it on your children. Why? Because if you're not safe, you can't rescue someone else and save them.
Take care of yourself. Eat right, sleep right, and get plenty of exercise so that you will live long, Enjoy life, and serve the Lord well.
NUMBER FOUR. BRUSH YOUR TEETH
How do we prepare for health and success in the future? We start with the small things, such as brushing our teeth before we go to bed. These small, hidden habits shape our lifestyle.
Scriptures tell us it's the little foxes that spoil the vine. On the day the parable was written, they had vineyards around the palace. Little foxes that no one could see would lay in the shade on a hot day and nibble away at the vine, killing the entire plant.
NUMBER FIVE. DON'T HIT YOUR SISTER
You learn to respect women in the home, and you start with your sister and your mother. If you hit your sister, you'll hit your wife. Those are just the principles of life, and you form your habits early. You will treat your wife and other women like you have been trained to treat your sister.
Those five simple instructions given to a young man will shape his life forever.
Thank your mother.

WILD WHEAT AND ANGELS-WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH US?
Hidden secrets abound. The spirit of revelation is given, and we begin to see the kingdom of God develop before our eyes. Why does one person understand the mystery of God and the spiritual world while the one beside him doesn't?
Is it a matter of intellect? Or is there a more profound spiritual truth that we may miss in this explanation?
The Scriptures tell us God desires that all men and women be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Yet the Scriptures also say you cannot come to the Father unless the Holy Spirit draws you.
If that sounds like a mystery, we have a good starting place for our discussion tonight.
The 13th chapter of Matthew is one of the most remarkable sections of the teachings that Jesus gave us in the Gospels. Jesus was dealing with two distinct groups of people: the mass crowds that he taught by the seashore and his disciples that he taught in a private house.
Matthew 13 contains his most famous parables: The Farmer and the Seed, the Good Wheat and the Wild Wheat that the Angels collected, the Hidden Treasures, the wild wheat the angels collected, the hidden treasures, and the parable of the Fishing Net.
The parables concern the kingdom of God, yet none of the large crowd understood what he was saying.
The disciples took him aside to ask questions about the parables, and he revealed the kingdom of God to them.
He told his disciples, "I will speak to you in allegories. I will reveal secrets that have been concealed since before the foundation of the world."
In verse 17, he continued, "Many prophets and godly people yearned to see these days of miracles that you've been favored to see. They would have given anything to hear the revelation you've been favored to hear."
Because you and I live on this side of the cross and resurrection, we are favored to hear the revelations that God is giving to this generation. And because of that, he is preparing us for a supernatural expansion of the visible and tangible kingdom of God that we live in today.
Some call it the third great awakening. Others refer to it as a supernatural move of God on the Earth. I call it the answer to Matthew 6: "Lord, let it be on earth as it is in heaven."

FRESH BREAD EVERY MORNING
The scent of fresh, glazed donuts wafts through the windows of our church on Sunday morning. Suddenly, I was hungry for one of those beautiful creations. Hurry up, get through with your sermon, Dad, I thought as I visualized one of those sticky, sweet, luscious glaze donuts in my hand. As far as I was concerned, church couldn't get over soon enough.
All these years later, I can still see that donut shop across the street from the church and smell those fresh morsels of goodness they produce every morning. My buddy and I would stand outside the open door and watch them bake and dip those donuts, just hoping they would have pity on us and give us one.
The moment the spirit of God dropped that thought in my heart today about fresh bread every morning, I was instantly taken back to Long Beach, California, at 1800 E. Anaheim. And that wonderful donut shop.
Three decades later, Arlis and I and our little boy Tony were in Wilmington, California, on a tremendous pastoral team led by my uncle Herbert Ezell.
At the time, he was at the unimaginable age of 60 with a team of young pastors in their 20s and 30s. Pastor Ezell had a hectic schedule, yet He was faithful to be at the church every morning somewhere around 6 o'clock for prayer.
It frustrated us young stallions that we couldn't get ahead of him in those early morning sessions. He always got there first. One day, I asked him how he managed to stay so energized with all the things he was involved in.
He gave me a spiritual nugget I had carried most of my life when he "said daily freshness, George daily freshness."
I believe there's a reason why God gave us 24 hours a day. It provides us with an opportunity to start fresh and new every morning.
The Scriptures tell us that the presence of God and the grace of God are new every morning, also. Sometime later, my apostle and friend Norman Clear told me he stayed in the bedroom on Monday morning after a busy Sunday until his spirit was renewed in the presence of the Lord.
I encourage you to have fresh bread every morning.

I AM THE OLD OX- I FEAR NO EVIL
King David said in the Psalms that he was once a young man but now was old.
In that time, he had never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread. This was the observation of an old ox.
During the Bible days, they would train a new ox in the discipline of pulling the plow. They would put that young 400-pound ox in the same yolk as a 2000-pound old ox. The old ox knew the system, understood the commands of the master, and was dedicated to the purpose that the master had in mind.
The young ox still had it in his mind to run and play. But now he was yoked to an old ox, much stronger than he. Now, instead of going, only the young ox had to do with the old ox was obeying the master's direction.
This system of discipline continued until the young ox was trained to follow the direction of the master so that the job could be completed.
I quoted David's Psalm when I was 20 years old, thinking that I had arrived at some plateau of wisdom, only to discover I was still the young ox.
What did God do?
He put me in the same yoke of an old oxen. Better referred to as mature men and women of God, who became mentors and trainers as I grew up in the Lord.
At one point in my journey, I had been traveling as an evangelist for 15 years when God yolked me down with a man of God. For the next two years, wherever the old ox went, I had to go, even though, at times, I disagreed with his decisions.
In those two years of being tied together, I was being trained for the next 40 years. At the time, I had no idea what God had in mind; thank the Lord he did.
Over the following decades, I could hear the voice of the old ox as I went through situations that needed wisdom and understanding. Somehow, in those discipline years, God worked into my spirit, the spirit of the old ox.
So today, I can say, like David of old, that now I am an official Old ox.

DON'T ALLOW ANYTHING TO DIMINISH THE JESUS IN YOU
Some years ago, a man came to me in my dreams. Tapping on my forehead with his finger, his face very close to mine, speaking loudly, he said,
Don't allow anything to diminish the Jesus you have right in there.
Well, I paid attention, knowing that the Spirit of God was allowing that to happen to improve my sensitivity to Christ in me, the hope of glory.
It's not unusual for us, current-day Christians, to consider ourselves more spiritual than the Israelites of old. We easily criticize how quickly they forgot the miracles of deliverance and supply that God gave them more than once.
Yet, we find them complaining, criticizing their leaders, and even turning back to idols.
For you and I to stay constantly aware of who we are and that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in you and I bodily takes daily exercise.
When Paul referred to "dying daily," he referred to the sacrifice it takes to put down the old thinking and the religious view we formally carried. The Scriptures referred to that as scales on our eyes like a blindfold. The only way that can be removed is by a revelation of the righteousness of Christ in us.
In Colossians 1:27, the apostle Paul tells us that is the hope that we have, knowing that Christ is in us, the hope of glory.
There remains nothing outside of that revelation that Christ lives in us to give us confidence and the correct compass heading as we continue to go forward in the kingdom of God.
My prayer for you today is that if there are any remaining covers over your eyes from former religious or manufactured ideas about God, they would be removed today.
Oh, that we would continually be able to say what is quoted in the Scriptures:
"I see the Lord high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple."
Let that picture be in your mind's eye continually.

I AM LISTENING TO HEAVENS CHATTER- AND IT'S ALL ABOUT VICTORY
In recent years, we have learned much about the ability of modern technology to listen to our communication systems. It can be a phone conversation or something we put out on the Internet. Some programs have been created to survey all types of communication and pick up certain words that would trigger investigations.
When Solomon said there was nothing new under the sun, we could apply that truth to our age. We who are alive today have the same ability that the prophets of old enjoyed and listened to conversations through the power and grace of the Holy Ghost.
We all remember the story of the prophet who could hear the conversations in the enemy's planning room and would pass on that information to the king of Israel.
In the World of believing saints today, many are listening to conversations on all levels through the Spirit of God. It is not uncommon for one of our well-known prophets to have mysteries and secrets revealed to them to stop it through prayer and prophecy.
There are untold stories of men and women of God who have reported such conversations to our military leaders, etc. Of a certainty, nothing is new under the sun.
On another level, the multiplied stories of men and women of God today who are visiting heaven and bringing back reports of what God is talking about. Listening into the conversation of God's counsel is possible through the Holy Spirit empowering us as we walk as sons and daughters of God in this modern age. The conversations we are hearing in God's planning room are all about victory. What our heavenly father starts, he also finishes.
My encouragement to you today is to be careful who you listen to. A multitude of voices come by you every day, and most of them are filled with fear and predictions of doom.
The Scriptures tell us to guard our heart, for out of it are the issues of life. We do that by tuning in to that heavenly channel where God speaks to us as people of God: direction, revelation, encouragement, and victory.

THEY WHISPER IN THE NIGHT-ANGELIC VISITATIONS
Be careful who you allow to speak into your ear. What you listen to will go into your spirit, and you will turn toward it. The Scriptures tell us to guard our heart, for out of it are the issues of life. When the heart is mentioned in the Scriptures, it refers to the very core of who we are. According to the word of God, words are the most significant influence that shapes and directs our lives.
It's a common understanding that the purpose of sleep is to be refreshed and restored to our physical body. It gives our whole system time to re-group and even heal as we rest at night.
However, the most significant purpose of that night's sleep is so that our soul and spirit are ministered to as well. Seeing that our spirit is the generator that keeps everything else on track, it's critical that we feed our spirit the right things for strength and wisdom.
Among the many things that the angels have been commissioned to do, such as guards, guides, and defenders of the Saints, is the responsibility of carrying messages from the
Father to us.
In advertising, they say that a whisper is more effective than a shout when trying to gain customers' attention. They could have discovered those secrets by knowing God used the same method.
It is not unusual for God or the angels to whisper to us to see if we're listening. Anyone will stop and listen if a loud boom catches their attention. But the challenge for you and I as a believer is to be so attentive to the voice of God and the message that he sends that we will even hear a whisper.
Most often, when an angel enters a room, there is a slight attention-getter, like a flicker of light or a slight noise to catch your attention. If you're in the seeking mode, you will hear it.
This is why the Scriptures tell us to set our attention on things above and not on things below. Be very sensitive, dear ones, for the sounds of heaven are always there.

JESUS RIPPED THE HEAVENS OPEN WITH THE CROSS
I am suspicious of the school systems today on how much detail they give our students to our history and the development it took to get where we are.
How many of our youth, and even our adults, remember what the English Mag-na-car-ta was all about?
In the year 1215, King John was forced by the land barons to sign a compact guaranteeing them more freedom, giving them the right to voice their opinions, etc. It was 100 years later when that compact went into force, changing the whole political and social climate in England.
From the seed of that compact, we gained our freedom as an American nation and have enjoyed over 200 years of self-rule.
What is part of the political confusion today is that a mass of our citizens have no idea what it means to be under the bondage of a dictator.
The American experiment is one of a kind that has never happened in the history of the world.
But another compact or covenant, signed and delivered, brought the entire world out of darkness into light. None of us can imagine what it would be like living before the cross, where the evil spirits and the gods of the nations ruled it with a hand of terror and punishment.
It had been 400 years since the Israelites had heard the prophets give a word from God himself.
The Bible states that there was darkness on the land.
Matthew 4 tells us that the people sit in darkness, and a great light comes.
The cross of Jesus Christ ripped an eternal hole in the heavens that will never close. When that happened, the gods of this earth came under the domination of the name of Jesus and lost their power to rule over the human race.
The entire human civilization came under the bondage and the curse of sin when Adam committed high treason. The world and all that were in it lost their innocence.
But praise God, another man came called the second Adam Jesus Christ. When he went to the cross and died for us, we died with him and rose again to new life. The entire human race, under the curse, suddenly, by the action of Jesus Christ, became innocent again and was returned to the Father's heart.
Jesus said he would make a way where there has been no way. He did it with the cross.
ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM!
