RICH: You can clap your hands to the Lord if you want. Now, can you allow me just to be myself and walk around a little bit? Wonderful. You know I want you real quickly, if you have a Bible if not it’s okay, I want you to go to Third John, chapter 1 verse 2 and one of the things that I was not able to share today but the Lord taught me in that visitation of heaven now this is something I was telling Sid. I was 6 hours in heaven physically like my body on the ground was for six hours but I was up there for what it seems to be months, months and months. So much so that when I woke up on the ground I asked my friends what year is it? What month? And they go what do you mean what year? It’s you know November 14th 2005. You know and I lost consciousness of the time and the hour because in the presence of God there’s no time. That’s why Roy can get on that keyboard and worship and you’ll forget that you’ve been worshipping for 3, 4 5 hours because you’re caught up in the Spirit of God. One of the other things I learned was when I came back I noticed right away my appearance changed. I used to look always like, you know I was in my late twenties and I looked like I was in my early twenties. When I came down somehow I looked now like I was in my late 30’s and there was even white hair that was all over the side. Right now I use those things in the store, you know what I mean, to cover ‘em up.

 

AUDIENCE:              (LAUGHTER)

 

RICH:  But literally because you know my wife is 9 years younger than me so I going to keep up. You know what I mean? But literally in 7 hours when I went, because 3 days after that experience I spent 3 days on my bed under the power of God. I could not get up for 3 entire days and I would close my eyes and I will be up in the Spirit. I open my eyes. I mean I could not sleep. I could not use the bathroom. I was afraid because if I’ll close my eyes I would hear voices and the activity of the Spirit. I learned something that in the Spirit frequencies are always saying something. You’ll never find quietness in heaven. There’s never quietness. That’s why revelation can be downloaded in your life in one second when you tap into the Spirit of God. You see the problem is that we get so concerned about knowledge. You see knowledge can take you years to obtain. Revelation can take you one second to learn twenty years that it will take somebody else. Do you know what I’m talking about? And I learned that in the Spirit God can download, let me tell you something, a hundred years of revelation in one second by the power of the Holy Spirit.     And I feel today that that’s exactly what God’s going to do for you in this place.

AUDIENCE   (CLAPPING)

 

RODNEY:  It’s over! From the littlest child, from the littlest child to the oldest saint used of God. I don’t care if your 85, 95 or 105. If you’ve got a mouth and you’ve got hands and you can speak God wants to use you. God can cause the next 5 years of your life to be as 40 years. It’s time to forget the past and stop looking back and say well the Lord can’t do this because of that, that, that. God doesn’t do anything because everything about you has been perfect. And that’s a fact. He knows what it’s been about. He’s more aware of you are of what he wants to say is will you let me use you? I’ll use you. I’ll take you just as you are and I’ll use you. God always takes the weak things. The foolish things of the world. I count it an honor to be listed as one of the foolish things of the world so that no flesh can glory in His presence. Amen. And that’s why we can never ever never ever ever ever take the glory. We always got to give Him the glory. But then you can’t take the criticism either. What do you mean? What do you mean? Well you can’t take the glory. How many of you know that? So you give all the glory to Him. Well if they criticize you and you take the criticism then you’re inadvertently taking the glory   because you still thinking you did it. So you just say all glory unto Your name and all criticism unto Your name. Oh, yeah.

 

AUDIENCE   Yay! Whooo!  (CLAPPING)

 

RODNEY:  C’mon now. C’mon now. Hallelujah! I believe sitting here today and you watching whoever you are   there’s enough firepower in this room to shake the whole of Charlotte and regions round about. There’s enough firepower in your home to shake your neighborhood, your city, your town, your village. And so it’s like the Lord just has us going around just unlocking people. You know a mighty river can stop because a dam is built. Isn’t that right? I mean you see what happened when they, the Colorado River, they put the dam, the big river, the dam there. Isn’t that right? And I’m not cussing by saying dam.

 

AUDIENCE   (LAUGHTER)

 

RODNEY:   Do you understand what I’m saying? What do you call it? The dam? A dam? Is it okay to say “a dam?” All right. So the river flows and then they put in a dam. Well the devil does that to believers. The river’s flowing and the devil comes, puts up a dam. Well there was a movie that came out years ago. I think it was a black and white movie called “Dam Busters.” Anybody ever saw that move? Yeah, it was a rolling bomb. I loved that movie. I watched it several times. I didn’t realize that’s my ministry. My ministry is I come in and blow up dams! Yeah!
