Word From the Holy Spirit, April 8, 2004
For I the Lord thy God am *LIFE*. I AM *ALL* that men are looking for. I have everything that they need, everything they want, everything that they desire. I have all of their wants. And I say, why do they look the other way?? Why do they look to the counsel [of] the other way?? Even MY ones that are called by MY Name, I say that are called by MY Name, and claim to know ME, yea they look another way. They look to be educated by the powers of this World. They live in a way of below the standard, the calling that I have called for MY people to be in this last hour.

God gives you a REST in ways that you can claim HIS divine presence. And the unsaved cannot claim this! So there is great blessing to those that come that way. There is great problems against those, because the Bible plainly says, in the last days, “When the enemy shall come in like a flood,…” which he has, “…the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.” [Isaiah 59:19] So, with the increase of badness, God increases HIS goodness! But those that do not, they get deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper, harder to get. The Bible says, “And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.” [Mark 13:20]
But because of that Day, HE will shorten that Day. HE is coming! Jesus is coming through the clouds of Glory. That is the good news! HE is coming! HE is coming for the redeemed. HE is coming for those who have made themselves right. HE has a better plan! HE has a better place! HE has got a better hope, a better *BLESSING*! You can’t imagine! It says, “…Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” [1 Corinthians 2:9-10]
All these things are manifested through the Spirit! And when churches deliberately come against the Spirit, they come against God! And when they do, and I am seeing it more and more and more, they don’t do it in a deliberate way. But they come into a way that, it is like telling someone, “Good morning,” when they really don’t want to say “Good morning.” “Good morning” implies that you are wanting to extend “Good morning” to the one that you are speaking to. But if that is not in your heart, that is the same thing that is taking place in the churches! They are speaking one thing, but it is not really accurate!
There is hope. And the part that can save us is the Spirit. And that is the part that nobody wants. You can take these words [that the Holy Spirit pours through Brother Freedom] and pastors will not accept them. People will not accept them. And it has really gotten to me. Only a very few can accept these words. It takes the Spirit to be able to receive it! It is like they are blinded!
When someone in your family will not accept these truths you, as the Father, or husband must be a covering for them. But there are some people you cannot be a covering to. God allows a man to be the covering, basically, of his wife and preferably to his children. But sometimes you can’t be the covering for your children if they will not allow it. They have a right to disagree. Your wife does too. But if she agrees, and doesn’t know, God gives a man the right for a covering that she will be blessed. Uuuuh, Glory!
Blessings, Brother Jack! God has showed me that is why he made man that he can only do one thing at a time. Women can do two, multiple things. That is why we worship God in singleness of heart! That is why it was put there! We can worship God with singleness. It is easy for men to worship God because nothing else can enter into my mind!
Think about it! Women are the ones that get voices over here and this and that. But *MEN* can do it *SINGULAR*. And God wants a singular of heart! That is HIS top glory!
So HE put man in the place that you can obtain that top glory, that you might cover your wife, that you would cover your family, that you would cover your friends. As you pray, through your prayers, you don’t even have to be there! And you only have to pray ONE time! When you know God says, “IT IS DONE,” you say, “Thank YOU, Lord, thank YOU, Lord, thank you for the time that you blessed my wife, thank you, Lord, for saving her. Thank you for the time you kept my children.” You don’t have to keep demanding, when HE has already given it to you! Thank HIM for it! God is a *GOOD* God. We don’t have to say….HE has said, “Well, I have already told you. Why don’t you accept it!”
But I realize that some of these come through where the Bible talks about repetitious prayers. And there are different types of prayers. But there is also gifts that God develops. I believe it is for you in this circle. It is available. And those gifts, you know that when you are praying for something that, when you have that gift, God says I give you that gift. And that gift goes beyond what you can do through [standard] prayer. God has already given you that gift to disperse as the Spirit [of God] orders you. You don’t have to even [think about it]. It is faster! It is with speed. It is right now! It is on time! You don’t have to go and make a repetition! It is there! When you lay hands on the sick, they will recover! And you say, “Lord, I don’t know anything!” And HE says, “Well, you don’t have to know! Just be my carrier.
People come to me and say, “I sure thank you for your prayers!” But I didn’t pray but once. A lady came by the shop and said, “I sure want to thank you for doing all that praying. My life is changed! I’m totally a different person! I got love know! I’ve got joy! I’ve got what I wanted all my life. And I received it now [at 85].”
I had a hard time letting her know that at the very first time I met her I knew then that it was going to take place. I had that assurance. [Brother Freedom hadn’t prayed and prayed for the lady like she thought. He had only spoken to her one time and released the gift that God had poured out and the gift and the power of God had done the miracle. It wasn’t Brother Freedom….and it wasn’t Brother Freedom agonizing in prayer. He just believed and released and God did it.]
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me *ALL* the days of my life. And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” [From Psalm 23] But surely GOODNESS and MERCY shall follow me. We have God’s blessings! We don’t have to have a name. Because we are not supposed to have a name. We are to have HIS Name! We are to lift up the name of Jesus, that we might be a profitable servant for God.

As a mechanic I used to think that I should go into an engine deeper and deeper on some things. But the Lord spoke to my heart time after time. HE said, “It’s all right. Don’t go any farther!”
And if I was in my “old man,” the old natural mechanic, I would have gone on and tore it all the way down. But being able to trust God, it is better. And God said, “It is going to be okay! You have got to be able to *TRUST* ME!”
You know, at first, I got to doubting. And I said, “I’ve got to quit this! I’m not going to doubt! God, YOU already did it! And YOU told me to stop at a certain point!”

The church needs to realize that, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” [Proverbs 18:21]
So, when you speak life, that life will live on. When you criticize, that criticism lives on. You can even go ask forgiveness, but the seed of it goes on and on! It goes on to infinity! It goes beyond because those words, what we say with our actions toward that lost soul.
What a privilege for us as God’s children to say, “Good morning,” when that person is not happy. You say, “Good morning! You have a good day!” And they might replay, “I don’t want to have a good day!”
But we *ARE* what God has prescribed for where you are! You are the prescription that God has given, written out in diagnosis, to the area where you are! It may be just an old shop. It may be a place and you may never open your mouth. But through the words of Heaven in you, you prescribe the blessings of God! And pretty soon they will understand where these blessings come from, because you will look like a candle. You will look the light of *GOD* shine through you, the resemblance of God! The love of God will be upon your face!
Everyone has a ministry. And God only dictates and directs the ministry. It is from *HEAVEN*! The Bible says let our words be established on God!
So what we do from Heaven, God wants to be the dictator. And HE is NOT a hard taskmaster. But HE is so wonderful. HE is *forever* faithful, that HE might be a blessing!
I want to encourage you that there is a mission for each on of us in this room.
I thought about that last night, that I find myself not being able to pray for everyone I want to pray for. But God started showing me, HE said, “You can’t be every place at one time. I only want you to do what I want you to do!”
And that you do you just say, “Praise God! I’m thankful that YOU have taken care of it!” It is in your heart. You don’t even have time to think about it. But God allows you a grace.
My wife asked me to pray for her sister. It seems like I have a hard time finding enough time to really pray for that sister. She is a good lady. But God, seems like, sends me to other places to pray. God is with my wife’s sister. So God sees that she has God already. All I can say is “God bless her more, be she *IS* blessed!” [Brother Freedom’s sister-in-law is a very anointed woman of God. She has an anointing from Heaven. God is taking care of her.] That is just a complement that they put on me. They don’t really need me. They already have it. So in good taste it is without me. “Oh, Lord it is YOU!”
If we could just learn that one secret…””Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” [Psalms 19:14]
If we can learn this we become a blessing, and a peace maker. What greater gift can we be than a “peace maker from Heaven?”

The Spirit of God will work through you. And then you didn’t have any recollection. But God has really put it on my heart. The true move of God doesn’t come through the head. It comes through the Spirit! It is in a different realm. We don’t do it for competitiveness.
You and I have seen this so many times. Churches would have great contests, who could learn the most scriptures, and all these things. But that still doesn’t say who is the most spiritual. God, ONLY, knows that! And it may not be the one that won the most contests, probably not!
That is where we please God, when we move in the Spirit. “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,…” *OH GLORY** “…who has delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us…” “HATH TRANSLATED US…” **GET THAT** “…into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” [Colossians 1:10-14]
Jesus through HIS blood made this possible that we might receive, “…an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,” [1 Peter 1:4] What a privilege!!
