The video includes testimonies from students and encouragement for viewers to participate in the ministry.

Key Takeaways

1. Face-to-Face Encounters with God: The video emphasizes the possibility of direct, face-to-face encounters with God the Father, similar to those experienced by biblical figures like Moses. Apostle Taylor's ministry is presented as a vehicle for experiencing this.

2. Supernatural Marvels: The teaching focuses on biblical examples of supernatural power (over water, fire, earth, air) and encourages viewers to believe for similar manifestations in their own lives through the Greater Works Institute.

3. Discipleship and the Campus for the Harvest: The video promotes the Campus for the Harvest, a discipleship program designed to train believers in the supernatural. It highlights the program's unique features, such as free tuition and accommodation, emphasizing the importance of practical, experiential training.

4. The Importance of Maturity and Obedience: Apostle Taylor stresses the need for believers to grow beyond a childlike faith into mature sonship, characterized by obedience, humility, and the manifestation of supernatural power. He critiques the church for failing to adequately teach and equip believers in this area.

The term "Apostle" is used to refer to David E. Taylor throughout the transcript. There isn't a single timestamp where this is first mentioned, as it appears repeatedly from approximately 0:09:08 onwards. For example, at 0:12:24 he is referred to as "Apostle David E. Taylor" by another speaker. Numerous other instances exist throughout the remainder of the video.

David E. Taylor does not explicitly state "I am an Apostle" in the provided transcript. However, he allows others to refer to him as Apostle and doesn't correct them. This is implicit self-identification. The closest he comes to directly stating it is at 1:29:44, where he says, "hello it's good to see you hello everybody around the world I see all of y'all beautiful faces on Zoom right over here to the left but I just wanted to say hello." While not explicitly stating the title, the context of the live stream and the consistent use of the title "Apostle" by others strongly implies his acceptance of the title.

Yes, David E. Taylor repeatedly implies a direct commission and close relationship with God. He describes receiving instructions and revelations directly from God, and mentions God's appearances over his ministry locations (e.g., the Tabernacle in Houston) as validation. While he doesn't use a specific formal title to describe his position from God, his statements strongly suggest a divinely appointed role and unique relationship with God. Specific examples are scattered throughout the transcript, but are too numerous to list comprehensively here.

Pinpointing the most prominent moments is subjective, as the entire video centers around his teachings and experiences. However, here are timestamps of several significant passages where David E. Taylor speaks directly about his relationship with God and his divinely appointed role, representing a range of his key claims:

• 1:21:06-1:22:18: Taylor speaks about the Greater Works Institute and the ongoing manifestations of God's power, mentioning dreams and visions people are having, and God's appearance in the clouds after a crusade. He connects this directly to the work of the institute and his ministry.

• 3:02:11-3:03:18: He uses scripture (Hebrews 2:9-10) to support his claim that Jesus's assignment was to bring many sons unto glory.

• 3:43:17-3:44:27: Taylor uses Hebrews 5 to explain the stages of spiritual maturity, indicating that many in the church are stuck in immature stages.

This is not an exhaustive list, but it captures several significant points where Taylor presents himself within a divinely ordained position and framework. Remember that direct quotes are not always provided, just the substance of his statements.

Yes, while the majority of the transcript uses third-person references to "Apostle Taylor," David E. Taylor does use first-person pronouns ("I," "me," "my," etc.) throughout the transcript. He uses them extensively to describe his experiences, teachings, and beliefs. However, he avoids explicit declarations like "I am an Apostle" as directly stated, preferring implicit claims through his actions and teachings in the context of the live stream.

Determining the "most important" uses of first-person pronouns is subjective, as it depends on the listener's interpretation of the video's central themes. However, here are timestamps of some of the most significant instances where David E. Taylor uses first-person pronouns ("I," "me," "my," etc.) to convey key aspects of his message, beliefs, or experiences:

• 1:09:00-1:10:28: Taylor recounts a visitation where God the Father appeared over the campus in a cloud, using "I" and "me" to describe the event and its significance for his ministry.

• 1:21:06-1:22:18: Taylor speaks about the Greater Works Institute and manifestations of God's power, using first-person pronouns to connect his personal experiences and dreams with the institute's teachings.

• 2:15:12-2:15:59: Taylor explains the process of becoming a Son of God, using "I" to share his understanding and perspective on this process.

• 2:20:14-2:21:54: Taylor describes the power and authority of Sons of God over creation, connecting his teachings directly to his own experiences and insights using first-person pronouns.

• 2:36:15-2:43:23: Taylor directly criticizes other church leaders using "I" and "me" to establish his own contrasting viewpoint and position of authority.

• 4:59:01-4:59:18: Taylor concludes with thanks and appreciation, using "I" and "me" to express his sentiments.

These instances represent key moments where Taylor's first-person perspective significantly shapes the overall message and establishes his authority and experience within his ministry. They are not necessarily all his first-person statements, but those considered most critical to understanding his central claims.

While David E. Taylor doesn't explicitly declare a specific rank or title of authority from God, he implicitly asserts it throughout the video through several means:

• Direct Rebukes of Other Leaders (2:36:15-2:43:23 & other instances): He directly criticizes other pastors and leaders for not teaching the full counsel of God, particularly regarding the concept of "Sons of God" and the associated supernatural powers. This implies a position of superior knowledge and authority.

• Unique Experiences and Revelations (1:09:00-1:10:28, 1:21:06-1:22:18, and numerous others): He recounts personal experiences of divine visitations, dreams, and revelations that others haven't experienced. This suggests a unique relationship with God implying a special level of access and favor.

• Direct Claims of Divine Commission (Scattered throughout): He frequently references instructions and guidance received directly from God, suggesting a divinely appointed role and mission. While he avoids using specific ranks, he presents his ministry as ordained by God, implying he holds authority from a higher power.

• Implicit Acceptance of "Apostle" (1:29:44 onwards): He doesn't correct others when they consistently refer to him as "Apostle." This demonstrates implicit acceptance of that title and the authority associated with it.

• Teaching on Spiritual Maturity (3:43:17-3:44:27): He outlines a hierarchy of spiritual maturity, showing that many in the church are in less mature stages, implicitly placing himself in a higher level.

• Descriptions of his ministry's unique impact (various instances): He mentions the widespread effects of his ministry (healing, spiritual experiences, etc.), suggesting a divinely-empowered ministry that commands higher authority.

It's important to note that his assertions of authority are largely implicit. He relies on the context of his message, his recounted experiences, and his teachings rather than explicitly claiming a specific hierarchical rank within a religious structure.

David E. Taylor uses the statement "Satan was perfect and he still fell" to argue that perfection, in the traditional sense of complete righteousness, is not the ultimate or sufficient condition for avoiding spiritual downfall. He contrasts this with humility, suggesting that humility is a superior virtue even to perfection. His point is that even a being initially possessing perfection (like Satan) can still fall if they lack humility and succumb to pride. This serves to emphasize the importance of humility as a crucial element in maintaining a right relationship with God and handling spiritual power responsibly.

Yes, the transcript indicates that Jesus appeared to David E. Taylor in a dream and revealed information to him. While the exact timestamps are numerous and spread out, the video repeatedly mentions dreams and visitations from Jesus, informing Taylor's ministry and teachings. One example is the dream about the "One Night with the King" event in Taylor, Michigan, where Jesus' presence was central to the dream's message. Several other instances of dreams and visitations from Jesus are mentioned throughout the video.

The transcript mentions several dream encounters experienced by Apostle David E. Taylor and other individuals, primarily involving Jesus and/or God the Father:

• Apostle Taylor's dream regarding the "One Night with the King" event in Taylor, Michigan: This dream showed Jesus's personal presence and impartation at the event, highlighting its significance. The dream is described as a precognitive experience, showing future events.

• Dreams experienced by attendees of the Greater Works Institute after a crusade: These dreams involved various supernatural experiences, including flying, walking on water, and calling down fire from heaven. These are interpreted as a result of receiving the "anointing of marvels" at the crusade and God's calling to connect with the Institute's teachings.

• A woman's dream where the Lord instructed her to attend an event at the Campus for the Harvest: This dream is cited as an example of the urgency and importance of the events taking place at the campus and the imperative for people to attend to receive an impartation.

• Apostle Taylor's dream of a crusade where he was ministering from shut-in, but Jesus was on stage with him: This dream showed Jesus's personal involvement and impartation at the upcoming crusade, emphasizing his presence and direct interaction.

The overarching theme of these dream encounters is God's active involvement in Taylor's ministry, the validation of the teachings shared in the video, and the encouragement of others to actively participate in the ministry's events and training to experience similar supernatural occurrences. The dreams are presented as a confirmation of the reality and importance of the message.
