030 - How Mighty His Wonders #4 - Don Gossett

[00:00:00] I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the High God has wrought toward me.

[00:00:06] How great are His signs and how mighty are His wonders.

[00:00:10] His Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation.

[00:00:17] I've been sharing with you some of the wonders of God that I've experienced in salvation most of all,

[00:00:24] in seeing all my family wonder Christ, in the protection of God.

[00:00:29] And then a great revelation came to me as I was reading from Philippians chapter 2.

[00:00:35] The scripture says that God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name of every name,

[00:00:42] that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

[00:00:45] of things in heaven, things in earth, and things under the earth,

[00:00:49] that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

[00:00:55] And then I studied the Gospel of John, John 14, 13.

[00:01:00] And whatsoever you ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

[00:01:06] John 14, 14. If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.

[00:01:11] John 16, 23. That hitherto you have asked nothing in my name,

[00:01:17] asking you shall receive that your joy may be full.

[00:01:21] Well, this revelation about the name of Jesus became a great important factor to my life.

[00:01:28] And I pray that you'll also let the authority of Jesus' name become very real to you.

[00:01:35] The Bible says it very clearly.

[00:01:53] Now, I'm so grateful that when this revelation of the name of Jesus came to my life,

[00:01:59] my own ministry was greatly transformed.

[00:02:03] For I began to pray for the sick, and there were real healings.

[00:02:07] I began to cast out demons, and they really were delivered.

[00:02:10] I began to minister deliverance to those who are bound by fear and other wrong spirits.

[00:02:15] And there were so many miraculous results that I've continued all these years.

[00:02:21] And when I consider the phenomenal miracles of healing my eyes have witnessed,

[00:02:26] I can never deny the reality of the power of Jesus' name over spirits of infirmity, sickness, disease, and affliction.

[00:02:34] My own lips have had the delight of speaking in the name of Jesus against all kinds of ailments.

[00:02:40] And the results have often been instantaneous, miraculous.

[00:02:44] Others have been healed gradually.

[00:02:47] But the Lord has been glorified mightily through this authority given to us to speak the name of Jesus.

[00:02:54] Just let me join, will you join me?

[00:02:57] And let's say the name Jesus five times.

[00:03:00] Jesus.

[00:03:02] Jesus.

[00:03:03] Jesus.

[00:03:05] Jesus.

[00:03:06] Jesus.

[00:03:08] Oh, what a name.

[00:03:09] Praise God we have this wonderful name as our right.

[00:03:13] And now I want to share with you how the Lord called me to the airwaves.

[00:03:18] The Lord first thrust me into radio ministry when I was only 21 years of age.

[00:03:24] And then he reaffirmed that calling some years later,

[00:03:27] when once again I embarked on a daily radio ministry.

[00:03:31] That was way back in 1961.

[00:03:34] And I continued to reach out.

[00:03:36] Then I went way up north to minister to our First Nation friends at Fort Rupert, British Columbia.

[00:03:43] They were telling me as they came from all parts of that northern region that they heard my broadcast every day.

[00:03:51] And it was then that God decisively spoke to me to lunch out into a far-reaching radio ministry.

[00:03:58] Always I had just been a provincial radio broadcaster to that time.

[00:04:02] But God called me suddenly to become a voice for him throughout the world wherever it could be reached with radio.

[00:04:11] And what a delight it's been to obey this sacred calling,

[00:04:15] to be used by God through the years to share the gospel message into many nations of this world.

[00:04:21] And thank God, simultaneous with this reaffirmed calling of the Lord to broadcast on radio,

[00:04:29] it was in a time then that I had a visitation of God that I want to emphasize here.

[00:04:33] I was conducting meetings in Longview, Washington.

[00:04:37] My family and I were living in Victoria.

[00:04:40] And I went down to Longview every week for five weeks,

[00:04:44] ministered twice every day,

[00:04:46] and God was meeting me in sweet hours of personal fellowship in his word.

[00:04:51] It was there in Longview.

[00:04:53] The Holy Spirit led me into some great times of study of the word.

[00:04:57] And one of the truths that burst upon my heart was the revelation or the importance of the confession of the word of God.

[00:05:05] Romans 10, 9, 10

[00:05:06] That if thou wilt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,

[00:05:10] and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead,

[00:05:14] thou shalt be saved.

[00:05:15] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness,

[00:05:18] and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

[00:05:22] That was the foundation of this wonderful Bible teaching of the importance of the confession of the word.

[00:05:30] And I began to study this truth.

[00:05:33] My heart was open, and I discovered the power of my words in relation to what I would receive from the Lord.

[00:05:40] I discovered the importance of overcoming a negative confession,

[00:05:44] and allow the word of God to prevail.

[00:05:47] And so then the Lord spoke to me from different verses.

[00:05:50] In the book of Malachi, Malachi 3, 13

[00:05:54] He said,

[00:05:54] Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord.

[00:05:57] Again he spoke to me from Malachi 2, 17

[00:06:00] You have wearied the Lord with your words.

[00:06:03] I pondered, how have my words been stout against the Lord?

[00:06:08] How had I wearied him with my words?

[00:06:10] And he spoke to me that my words had been out of harmony with his word.

[00:06:14] That I've been speaking a defeat and fear and lack and those negative things so prevalent.

[00:06:21] And it was, I would emphasize speaking about my financial struggles.

[00:06:26] I would get the sympathy of people when I told them how hard it was to be broke most of the time and never have any resources financially.

[00:06:35] Oh, that was just so much junk that I was coming out of my mouth.

[00:06:39] But then when God spoke to me about how to overcome negative factors in the financial arena,

[00:06:46] and how I could speak his conquering word.

[00:06:49] And again the Lord dealt with me from this passage, Amos 3, 3

[00:06:54] Can two walk together except to be agreed?

[00:06:58] I realized, in order to walk with the Lord in financial supply,

[00:07:04] that I must agree with what his word says.

[00:07:07] So one day he led me to write down these words that were so revolutionizing my life

[00:07:14] and have revolutionized the lives of thousands of other people.

[00:07:19] People who have read this revelation.

[00:07:21] I called it something like this, my never again list.

[00:07:26] And I wrote it out.

[00:07:28] Never again will I confess I can't,

[00:07:31] for I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

[00:07:35] Never again will I confess lack,

[00:07:37] for my God shall supply all my need,

[00:07:40] according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

[00:07:43] Never again will I confess fear,

[00:07:46] for God has not given me the spirit of fear,

[00:07:48] but of power and of love and a sound mind.

[00:07:51] Never again will I confess doubt and lack of faith,

[00:07:54] for God has given to every man the measure of faith.

[00:07:58] Never again will I confess weakness,

[00:08:01] for the Lord is the strength in my life,

[00:08:03] and the people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits.

[00:08:07] Never again will I confess the supremacy of Satan over my life,

[00:08:12] for greater is he that's within me than he that is in the world.

[00:08:16] Never again will I confess defeat,

[00:08:19] for God always caused me to triumph in Christ Jesus.

[00:08:22] Never again will I confess lack of wisdom,

[00:08:25] for Christ Jesus is made unto me wisdom from God.

[00:08:29] Never again will I confess the domination of sickness over my life,

[00:08:33] for with the stripes of Jesus I am healed,

[00:08:37] and Christ himself took my infirmities and bare my sicknesses.

[00:08:42] Never again will I confess worries and frustrations,

[00:08:45] for I am casting all my cares on him who cares for me.

[00:08:49] Thank God in Christ I am carefree.

[00:08:53] And never again will I confess bondage,

[00:08:55] for where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.

[00:08:58] My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

[00:09:02] Never again will I confess condemnation,

[00:09:04] for there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.

[00:09:10] I am in Christ, therefore I am free from condemnation.

[00:09:14] There you have received this wonderful revolution,

[00:09:18] my never again list.

[00:09:19] And when I began to put it into practice,

[00:09:21] it so transformed my life and my ministry.

[00:09:24] There was a new realm of miraculous answers to prayer,

[00:09:27] a strong intervention of God.

[00:09:30] Things happened in those days I could never have dreamed possible.

[00:09:33] And thank God it was all because his word,

[00:09:37] his wonderful word.

[00:09:38] And my beloved friend, if you would like to have a copy of my never again list,

[00:09:43] please request it when you write to me.

[00:09:45] I would be delighted to send it to you and let you put these same truths to practice.

[00:09:51] And I can remember how things began to happen supernaturally in a wonderful way,

[00:09:56] and how God worked in that time in my life and ministry.

[00:10:00] And there on Vancouver Island, I conducted a crusade sponsored by four churches.

[00:10:05] I was just in a new realm of miraculous answers to prayer.

[00:10:10] There were things happening, I say, that I could never dream possible.

[00:10:14] And there on Vancouver Island in this crusade,

[00:10:17] the results were exceeding abundant above all I could ask or think.

[00:10:21] So the pastors of the area, they were just overwhelmed.

[00:10:24] And then we had to move that crusade into several different auditoriums.

[00:10:28] As no hall or auditorium in the city could accommodate the crowds.

[00:10:33] And the meetings were wonderfully blessed by the Lord.

[00:10:36] What was the best thing?

[00:10:38] Hundreds of people there made decisions for Jesus Christ and for everlasting life.

[00:10:43] And unusual miracles of healing were performed in Jesus name for the glory of God.

[00:10:49] So my beloved friend, I've been sharing with you this wonderful truth from Daniel chapter 4.

[00:10:56] I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God has wrought toward me.

[00:11:02] How great are his signs and how mighty are his wonders.

[00:11:06] His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and his dominion is from generation to generation.

[00:11:13] Now I have a book that Mike Waddell is going to tell you about.

[00:11:17] It's entitled How Mighty His Wonders.

[00:11:20] It not only has part of my life story and also how God has continued to work,

[00:11:26] but also the impact of the gospel as I've gone to these many nations sharing these same truths and principles.

[00:11:34] And we invite you to request this book.

[00:11:37] My beloved friend, I want to say thank you and share your generous donations for bold Bible missions.

[00:11:44] Your partnership means so much that you pray for us and that you give generously to help us do God's work.

[00:11:52] I'll be looking forward to your letter and it'll mean so very much in behalf of the ripened harvest field of the world.

[00:11:58] So how mighty are his wonders.

[00:12:01] How good are his wonderful workings.

[00:12:03] And Father, I pray for every listening friend who in this present time is struggling.

[00:12:10] Lord, there's been heartaches, disappointments, anger, fear, oppression.

[00:12:14] I pray for your deliverance for them.

[00:12:17] And Lord, those who are sick in their bodies that you'll heal by your gracious power, Lord.

[00:12:23] And Lord, most of all, that you'll bring to salvation every person who has not received you as Savior and Lord.

[00:12:30] In Jesus name, amen.

[00:12:33] Well, there comes a time, the hallelujah time, when I invite you to stop what you're doing if possible.

[00:12:40] And join me as we say praise the Lord.

[00:12:44] And we're going to say it ten joyful times.

[00:12:46] Please join me.

[00:12:49] Praise you, many times.

[00:12:51] Praise you, Lord.

[00:12:52] Praise you, Lord.

[00:13:07] Hallelujah.

[00:13:07] Praise you, Lord. Hallelujah.
