SPEAKER 01 : 0:06

Welcome to Victorious Faith. We believe you will be blessed, encouraged, and receive fresh faith to begin your day as you listen to today’s message with international missionary and Bible teacher, Cherry Campbell.

SPEAKER 02 : 0:21

Good morning. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I’m Cherry Campbell. This morning, I’m going to continue sharing with you a message that I preached in one of our Victorious Faith services called Going to the Next Level. So join me now in our live service for the continuation of this message, Going to the Next Level. So the point is, if you’re closed-minded about something, you won’t even hear God. So don’t be closed-minded. Be open-minded. Let new ideas, new thoughts, new ways come to you. And then there is the willingness. If you’re not willing to do it… then one of two things, either God will not even tell you because God knows if he told you, you wouldn’t be willing. So he won’t even talk to you about it if you have an unwilling heart. Or when he does speak and tell you, you’ll not even hear because you’re not willing. So an unwillingness can cause you not to hear God. The least bit of unwillingness can hinder you from hearing God. And sometimes people are asking God, Lord, what do I do? And it’s staring them in the face. It’s something that they hadn’t considered. So be willing to think about things that you hadn’t thought about before. Hallelujah. Let me just move on. That’s all about vision. How do you go to the next level? Number one is vision. And in vision, it’s pray in tongues, meditate God’s word, and listen to the Holy Spirit, and be willing and open. And then number two, how do you go to the next level? Then once you’ve got a vision, then continue praying in tongues because praying in tongues is actually the building of it. God can work behind the scenes. The angels get involved. God can start getting other people in the right place. Maybe he needs to move someone from Minneapolis to Denver to get you in connection with that person. So God starts moving like this big chessboard and you don’t see it. You have no clue. You’re just here sitting and saying, God, what do I do? And God’s moving. So praying in tongues, continue praying in tongues so that God can continue to work to bring it to pass. And then sow seed. Sow seed. Your seed is to bring the harvest of your vision. Sow a seed for it. At least one. But even sometimes repeatedly, again and again, I’m sowing for this. I’m sowing for this mission. I’m sowing for this dream. Sow seed because everything comes as a harvest for your seed sown. You don’t reap without sowing. And so sow your seed. And if you don’t have enough, I mean, usually, let me say it like this. Everything God calls us to do is impossible. That should be good news, I guess. Guess what? It’s going to be impossible when God tells you to do it. Why? Because he wants you to depend on him and require him to do it. He wants to do it through you, but it’s not going to be your work. I think so much of the time that, you know, the scripture where it says God uses the weak things of the world to confound the strong and the foolish to confound the wise. And I said, that’s why God picked me. Because I feel like in the natural, I could be one of the least to do something. And yet God, because of a willingness, because of a heart to follow, then he’s been able to use me. But God is always calling us to do the impossible. Everything I’ve done, going to the mission field was impossible for me. It was impossible. There’s no way in the natural. Who would know Cherry Campbell? And who would find us me? Nothing. There was no church. There was no organization that financed, that sent, that organized. Nothing but God. And then God says, come home and go on radio. Impossible. But God said, do it. And we did it. And God did it. So everything God says to do is impossible. So expect that. But then know that because it’s impossible, it will always require faith. It will always require faith. So then you need to build your faith. Faith is aggressive. Faith takes hold. Philippians 3.12, Paul wrote, I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. So you have to press to take hold of that, that that God has called you for, that God has promised you. You press on. That’s Philippians 3.12. I press on. to take hold. You have to press with your faith to take hold of that, that God has promised you. How do you take it by saying it and by praising saying, well, first of all, the prayer of faith, Mark 11, 24. Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe you have received it. That word received means take, believe you take it. It’s actually the word take. Believe you take it and it will be yours. So you pray the prayer and then you call it in Romans 4, 17. The God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. So you say, I call for my harvest to come. I call for this thing to come. I call in the name of Jesus. Come now. And I call in the harvest of my seed. And you thank God. Thank you, Lord. I have it. Thank you, Lord. I have it. Thank you, Lord. And that’s then praising God. Thank and praise God. Thanksgiving brings possession. Thanksgiving brings possession. And then with the prayer of faith, add the power of agreement. Matthew 18, 19 says, again, I tell you, if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my father in heaven. So add the power of agreement. If you can have a prayer partner, then pray in agreement with somebody. Agree together. And then know that your angels are helping you more than you know. God spoke this to me today. He said, they’re doing more than you realize, Cherry. I said, oh, glory to God. Know your angels are working and they’re doing more than you realize. And then the teaching that we gave earlier this year about releasing the angels continue doing that. I do that every time I sow my seed. We did it in our prayer tonight. We command the angels go bring in the harvest in Jesus name. And I command the warrior angels to destroy every opposition. Anything standing in my way. You know, there’s all kinds of evil spirits that are trying to stand in your way and keep you from receiving what God has for you, doing what God has for you to do. And so you need the help of those warrior angels to destroy the opposition against you that you can’t see. Sometimes you keep waiting and waiting and waiting and think, what’s going on? Well, there’s something out there in the demonic realm that is stopping you. Remember Daniel? prayed for 21 days and Gabriel came and said, the day you prayed, your prayer was heard and I was sent. He was sent the first day, but the Prince of Persia withstood me for 21 days. So there could be an angel sent to you the instant you prayed, but there’s something that’s withstanding. and withholding and blocking. That’s what Gabriel said to Daniel. I was sent the day you prayed from the first day I came, but I was withstood. So you pray for those warrior angels to destroy opposition that you don’t see in the spirit realm that is holding back. what you’re supposed to have or keeping you from doing what you’re supposed to do or going where you’re supposed to go. So release the warrior angels, release the harvesting angels, keep them going and you pray to release them regularly. Like I said, I do it every time I sell my seed and sometimes more often than that. And then lastly, as we finish up, lastly, Hear and obey. Then there will come the time, as you pray in tongues, I said, God conceives the idea in your spirit. And then there will come a day when thoughts and ideas, insights and concepts come to your mind. You’ve prayed over them and you’ve thought about them, but then there’s a time you’ve got to act on that. You’ve got to act on it. You’ve got to start doing it. So then you start taking the steps to accomplish it. Now, this is the key word, steps. And they can be little steps. Don’t be looking for leaps and bounds. And it has been that there have been Christians failing to go to the next level of something bigger because they thought they were supposed to go up there. And yet all God had for them was a little tiny six inch step for them to take. Just go to this meeting. Why should I go to that meeting? Well, who knows? Maybe God has a divine appointment. Maybe somebody, maybe a contact. Maybe that will be a leading that will lead you to something else. But if you don’t take that little step of obedience when God says, go to this church service, go to this prayer meeting, and you say, well, I’m just too tired. I know God. Please forgive me. I’m going to stay home. You may have just missed the next direction for the plan of God for your life. Before I went to the mission field, in the mid-90s, God directed us to move to Fort Worth, Texas for a few years. And when I went down there, I went ahead of my parents. God said, don’t contact anybody. Listen to me, and I will direct you. And he said, this will be practice for when you go to the mission field. Learning to hear my voice. So I got down there. I drove myself. I drove alone. I mean, to Fort Worth. I arrived on Wednesday afternoon and I knew where I was going to church. I was going to the ministry there. And that was my training ground for the next four years. And so I arrived in the city on Wednesday afternoon. I knew they had a church service Wednesday night. So I checked into the hotel and I went to church that night. And then that night they announced that there was a prayer meeting the next morning. So I got up and I went to the prayer meeting the next day. After the prayer meeting, we did have a friend working in the ministry and the Holy Spirit prompted me, have lunch with her. So I called her and said, can we have lunch? Are you available? She said, yes. She brought a friend. We had lunch. This friend told me about another ministry meeting that evening at the church I had not known about. Neither did my friend know about. I said, okay, I’ll go. I went to that meeting Thursday night. Now, the Holy Spirit had prompted me, in my spirit, a witness that when I arrived there, he said, Cherry, you will be in a hotel for two nights. By the third night, you’ll have a place to stay. And yet it was not by contacting any friends or any friends of my parents or family who knew me who would just say, come to my house. It was going to be a way that God supernaturally arranged. I was not supposed to contact anybody. And he said, in my heart, I knew two nights in a hotel. By the third night, I would have a place to stay. Okay, Wednesday night passed. Then I went to the prayer meeting. Then I went to lunch, met the friend. The friend tells me about a meeting Thursday night. I go to the church Thursday night. I happened to sit next to a lady from Colorado and we started talking and then the meeting started. And so we stopped talking and we’re enjoying the meeting. At the end of the meeting, she taps me on the shoulder and she says, Cherry, I feel the Lord is telling me to invite you to come stay with me. She was a single woman. She had another bedroom. I said, thank you. Let me pray about it. Even though it was an opportunity, even though it was two nights, I wanted to know if this was God. So I said, thank you. Let me pray about it. So I went back to the hotel Thursday night, the second night. The next morning I checked out of the hotel because I knew God said I would have a place by that night. So I checked out of the hotel. I don’t know my way around the city. I get on the freeway and I’m just driving, kind of heading towards the ministry and finding my way. And the Holy Spirit take this exit, go to that gas station and call her. This was before cell phones and go to the gas station and call her. So I pulled off, went in the gas station, had her phone number, and I called her. And I said, hi, how are you doing? And she said, I’m doing well. And she said, the Lord is still telling me to invite you to come stay with me. I said, I know this is the Lord then. And so I met her after work. And by that night, Friday night, I was staying in her home. So it’s steps. What you just heard was the continuation of a message that I preached in one of our victorious faith services called Going to the Next Level. And we will conclude this message tomorrow. And if you’d like to listen to this message again or any of my other messages or share with your friends and family, which I encourage you to do, you can go to my YouTube channel, which is under my name, Cherry Campbell.
