listen over the last number of weeks here at the church we've had the privilege of of baptizing well over 200 people as folks are making dedications and determinations to follow jesus with everything that they are scripture talks about water baptism is the public announcement that your old life has been buried with christ and your new life has been raised in christ we tell people in this environment like water baptism isn't a good idea if you can ever get around to it it's not like one of those things that if you can ever like maybe check it off your list like maybe god's happy with you it's literally a command from scripture the bible says this repent believe and be baptized and so we tell people the bare minimum qualifier to be baptized in water is have you made a confession of faith in jesus christ not has your life been perfect not have you never made a mistake but have you put your full faith and trust in the finished work of jesus christ oftentimes in baptism we also ask people this question when we dunk them we say do you confess jesus as the lord and savior of your life yes do you renounce every work of darkness against your life yes and when we baptize people it's not just people getting wet it's not just water coming on people's bodies something happens in a spiritual place when you're baptized because what god does through the waters of baptism is he declares in every dead arid place that what once belonged to the enemy now belongs to him this is why baptism is so significant it's like god's showing you off it's what the father says over jesus when jesus is baptized in water at the jordan river this is my son in who i am well pleased it's a declaration in heaven on earth and below the earth of who you belong to and so we encourage people to follow the lord through the waters of baptism i can't explain all how it works but i just know it does i just know it does and when people follow in obedience to jesus christ watch what happens it commands a blessing on your life something fundamentally changes in that spiritual atmosphere when you align yourself in obedience and for whatever reason it's just been over the last number of weeks people positioning themselves say pastor i'm ready i don't want to miss it i might not have come with the right clothes even to get baptized but i don't want to miss my opportunity to publicly announce that i'm putting my full faith and trust in the finished work of jesus christ when when you're baptized god is declaring something fresh and something new over your life and we just believe that as we follow the lord through these simple obedient steps it might look foolish on the outside but scripture says this the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing but to us who are being saved it's the power of god and baptism is one of those spiritual things that appears foolish from the outside in what's so important about getting dunked in a makeshift hot tub in front of a church why would god care about that it looks foolish to the world but in god's eyes it's one of the most significant things friend you will ever do and we're announcing something in the northwest we're announcing that jesus is king we're announcing that the kingdom of god has arrived it's breaking out all around us we're announcing that the invitation is for both jew and gentile man and woman men servant and maidservant rich and poor we're announcing the good news of the gospel the gospel isn't good advice friend it's good news it's not a good opinion it's good news it's the proclamation that jesus has arrived and because jesus is here everything changes and we're going to continue to see baptisms week after week after week here in this community because we're just trying to do our best to keep up with the transformation that god is doing in people's lives and something that's cool here is not only is god doing a work here but we got friends tuning in tonight literally from around the world people watching the live stream even last night i got texts and dms and messages and emails from people who are watching the revival service from their homes in different states last night one guy emailed me late last night and he said pastors you were praying i was watching the live stream from tulsa oklahoma and as you were praying the power of god hit my living group i flew back in my chair i can't explain what happened but what you're stirring in the northwest is overflowing in the midwest [Applause] it's significant it's important what's happening here people are paying attention to as folks are waking up to this reality god is better than we think he's closer than we think and revival has always been in his heart and it's always been his idea it is one of the great joys and great privileges of christian faith to follow the lord through the waters of baptism in just a moment i'm going to give you an invite and friend you might be here tonight and say well i didn't you know come to get water baptized and maybe tomorrow listen tomorrow's not promised you have right now and right here and baptism might be inconvenient for you good because most transformational things in your life are a little bit inconvenient you got an opportunity tonight to obey the lord not me not anybody else but obey what god commands over your life and if you're here tonight you say pastor i haven't been water baptized since following the lord and maybe you were sprinkled in water as a baby in a catholic church and i'm talking about baptism i'm talking about christian baptism i'm talking about immersion in water following a public proclamation that jesus is lord if you haven't had that experience in just a moment i'm going to call you forward and we're going to baptize people in the name of the father the son and the holy ghost and tonight friends something significant is going to happen in your life in just a moment i'll count to three if that's you i want you to come out of your chair real quick come to the altar and we're going to line up on my right your left on my right your left we'll have some pastors and leaders participating in baptism tonight i promise you this evening

thing that you behold and god tonight we count you worthy of all praise of all honor of all adoration we join the song of heaven the one that is sung by angels and elders and saints and the four

simply who he is if you're in need of a touch of god this evening you came to the right place not because there's anything special about us but because there's everything special about him and i'm

place in jesus day in jesus day amen hey would you find a seat tonight if you could thanks so much for joining us for saturday night of our extended revival services you know about a month ago we had one of our friends and one of the members of our board of directors pastor benny perez come and share over labor day weekend here with the church and god began something in that environment that we are continuing now as we're just making time for people to seek the face of god now if you're here with us on sunday morning you know what sunday mornings are like they're rather chaotic and people are coming in and coming out and we've got about 75-minute services and we got a thousand people in the parking lot and cars lined up out onto the street and we don't always have the time to really just spend time seeking the lord and yes scripture says this seek the lord while he may be found which tells me that there are windows of opportunity in our spiritual life by which god invites us to pursue him and it's in the pursuit of who he is that we find transformation and development in our life i think so many times the way that we view spirituality is in the context of outcomes and the way that jesus views our spirituality is in the context of process and there is something that gets developed in the deep part of who you are when you commit to a life-long pursuit of who he is and that's what we're signing up for and that's why we're taking time in the month of september we're going to do it again in the month of october we're going to do it again in the month of november if you guys could go ahead and put those announcements on the screen we're going to show you what's coming up here in the month of uh october in november october 29th through the 31st we're having a special guest dr michael maiden with us dr maden is out of the state of arizona and leads an incredible church and ministry there dr maiden really is a prophet to the body of christ he operates in incredible words of knowledge and words of wisdom and generally he's booked out a year or two and for whatever reason we just have favor in this season he was able to rearrange some things and be with us at the end of october and then of course in the month of november november pastor benny prez is going to be joining us again for another night of awakening and revival he'll be with us friday night saturday night uh and sunday night obviously as we get closer to these dates we're going to be pushing out some material on social media so we'll make sure to remind you but just go ahead and mark those dates in your calendar we'd love to have you in the house of god for those nights we just really since we're in a special season here as a church and there's just there's just moments in time there's just moments in life by which god invites you to pursue him and in doing so you have breakthrough in doing so you see miracles in doing so you find yourself on the receiving end or on the receiving benefit of his presence multiplied and magnified in your life and listen and the the pursuit of the presence of god is a lot more art than it is science meaning that we can't break it down into nice little boxes with formulas to try to figure it all out we just know when we've been invited and in fact the person of jesus and and the presence of jesus is is is is is talked about in in in the analogy of a wedding in the book of matthew specifically in in in chapter 25 where where jesus tells his followers he says prepare for you don't know the day in which the bridegroom will return but if you have oil in your lamp you'll be able to have vision for when he arrives and although we know that at least in one sense jesus is utilizing that language to talk about the return of christ which is our blessed hope in the future i also think that that language has some overlay for our current context as well for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear when the bridegroom draws near it's those who respond with a longing and a desiring heart who are able to encounter him and i've said this before but i think it's so foundationally true for our life and for our ministry friend god is more interested in revival than we are and when we can come to that place in our life where we honestly believe that and we come out of a place of striving to try to force his hand and instead coming alive to the reality that the kingdom of god is at hand and the gospel is advancing in incredible ways by force and the gates of hell literally cannot prevail against it i wanted to start off tonight by sharing with you a prophetic word not from me but from a pastor who who who pastored in in new york at times square church for a number of years before passing away about 35 years ago he wrote down something in his prayer journal that got recorded and i think it speaks to the day that we're in you can decide for yourself but guys if you could go ahead and put that on the screen i just wanted to share share this with you tonight go ahead and put it on the screens on my left and on my right please thank you david wilkerson in 1986 now watch this was 35 35 years ago in 1986 watch what he said i see a plague coming on the world and the bars churches and government will shut down the plague will hit new york city and shake it like it has never been shaken the plague is going to force prayerless believers into radical prayer and into their bibles and repentance will be the cry from the man of god and the pulpit watch and out of it will come a third great awakening that will sweep america and the world [Applause] 35 years ago i think people probably heard this and read this and thought oh man this just pastor wilkerson being a prophet again and saying some wild things and could you ever imagine something like that happening there's no way new york city would ever shut down no way it's the city that never sleeps and yet of course what we've seen over the last 18 months is just about word for word everything that wilkerson prophesied coming true in our midst and now what i'm waiting on is the last paragraph to be fulfilled the idea that what we're pressing the idea that the idea that what we're pressing into is a third great awakening and so that that's why that's why jesus says this he says in this world you will have trouble but be of good cheer for i have overtaken the world i've overcome the world so that's why it's possible for you to be of good cheer in the midst of a world that has lost its dang mind church is about the only thing left open for believers in the northwest it's about the only place that's not checking passports at the door it's about the only thing left for believers to rally around but i look at this and i think i think to myself god is so good that he was even awakening prophets 30 40 years ago and letting them know there's something that's coming there's something that's coming there's something that's coming and what i love is that in the midst of plagues shutting down cities and people being shaken god is returning prayer and passion and desire to the church and friend i'm here to tell you we are standing on the precipice of a third great awakening in this nation we're standing on the very edge of it and you and i will get to live in the fulfillment of what other people died still believing for and that's why hebrews 11 and hebrews 12 are so significant because as paul writes the church he tells the story of the heroes of faith who died not yet receiving their promise but who now form the great cloud of witnesses who watch with interest the affairs and the activities of earth believing that god will be faithful to fulfill every word that he said watch the promises of god are yes and amen they're not maybe and if you try hard enough they're not maybe if you figure it all right figure it all out or get all your theology correct the promises of god are yes and amen and i just have a feeling that there's more than one prophet pastor leader prayer warrior who died believing for awakening who hasn't yet seen it who's now in the cloud of witnesses peering down into the affairs of earth thinking to themselves could it be that this time we're going to see awakening in the nation and you understand that tonight friend that you are the fulfillment of somebody else's prayer petition and prophecy you are you're the fulfillment sometimes people think well have you ever seen a prophecy fulfilled just look in the mirror because you are you are one you are a living breathing fulfillment of prophetic words given during times where people couldn't even imagine them coming together and yet here we are today and so as we're leading into this we lean in with this idea of significance we lean in with this idea of ownership we lean in with this idea of destiny knowing that what god is forming in this moment is so much bigger than we can even conceive or imagine and friend you and i get to be a part of that i just want to share a few things tonight out of the gospel of luke and as i've been teaching over the last number of weeks we're actually supposed to be on a different sermon series as a church but i've just shifted just to teach and to talk and to prophesy into awakening and revival because it's a now word for this community listen listen if not now then when if not us then who what else are we waiting for you waiting for things to get worse before we have awakening not me no this is our time and what the enemy meant for evil what the enemy saw is death and destruction watch god is using for good and it's just so interesting people who aren't spiritual minded they can't even understand it they don't understand how is the church growing they don't understand it they don't understand it why are people showing up they have no concept for it doesn't even make sense and yet the church of god advances the people of god operate in divine favor surely goodness and mercy follow us the days of our life in the midst of chaos god is establishing his perfect peace and his perfect government on the earth and you and i get to be a part of that that's what you've signed up for so when we talk about revival and when we talk about awakening what we're not talking about is a finite moment in time but instead a line by which we cross where everything changes and nothing is the same we are in the ground floor of another awakening here in our nation in luke 5 luke who is the historian of the new testament church tells us a story about jesus luke is a physician he's also a gentile the only gentile author of any of the synoptic gospels he's telling us a story about jesus he says this in verse 17 now it happened on a certain day that as he was teaching that there were pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by who had come out of every town of galilee judea and jerusalem watch and the power of the lord was present to heal them so let me ask you a question tonight friend the power of the lord is present are you hear me the power of the lord is present are you now watch what happens the power of the lord existed by the virtue of his nature it wasn't conjured up by the environment he sat in it rested on the life of jesus because it was an inseparable part of his character watch and if i am in christ then i walk in present power too this is the benefit of you being hidden in christ this is the benefit of you being clothed in righteousness this is the benefit of you not being your own but instead you've been bought with a price this is the benefit of not bowing to the altar of self-identity this is the benefit of claiming jesus as the author and the finisher of your faith what is on him becomes on you because by virtue you're hidden in christ the bible says that even the disciples in the new testament as they walked their shadows would would fall on people who were sick and they would receive healing in life because what they carried in their lives was a reflection of what overshadowed them when you're seated in heavenly places it's not just to feel good about your own spiritual resume it's an indication of the things by which god has invited you to carry because we are living breathing ambassadors of another kingdom we understand that we operate with this same authority jesus said in the same way that i was sent so i send you so we've been given a mission and a mandate to take the life of christ and in doing so display the life of christ through our sphere of influence faith doesn't increase god's power hear me it increases your capacity to receive from god's power you have never stepped foot into an environment in which jesus wasn't king and that simple fact ought to give you confidence that anywhere you go you can operate in dynamic power in the same way that god tells moses i am his power and his might are an established reality that is unchanged by human circumstance what was on jesus is now on you because the spirit of god takes residence inside your life the power of the lord was present to heal the power of the lord was present not because it was a healing crusade not because there was a sermon on series on miracles not because folks had even seen his previous work but because jesus was the center of attention and any place in which jesus is the center of attention it becomes an atmosphere where anything can happen and here's what i found people are okay with jesus being in the house but as soon as you position him as the center of attention it seems like every relief religious demon gets activated no jesus doesn't just get a room in the church he's the head of the church jesus is the center of attention and this is why jesus says in the book of john if you'll just lift me up i will literally do everything else you just gotta lift me up you just have to reprioritize me as the center of all life and of all existence if i am the primary gravitational force in all of your spiritual life by which you revolve around i will cause every loose end to come together if i be lifted up and jesus was at the center of the house and the bible says the power of the lord was present you know what's so interesting about jesus anywhere that he walked his spirit introduced him before he even said a word let me prove it to you mark 5 and when jesus had come out of the boat immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit who had his dwelling amongst the tombs and no one could bind him not even with chains because he had often been bound with shackles and chains and the chains had been pulled apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces neither could anyone tame him and always night and day he was in the mountains and in the tombs crying out and cutting himself with stones and when he saw jesus from afar he ran and worshipped him and he cried out with a loud voice saying what have i to do with you jesus son of the most high god i implore you by god do not torment me and jesus hasn't said a word he literally gets out of a boat and a guy in the graveyards starts to manifest and he's naked and he's chained up and he's cutting himself and he's all out of his mind and the bible says he runs to jesus and falls on his knees and worships and asks jesus this question have you come to torment me and friend can i communicate to you tonight that your spirit introduces you before you even show up which tells me this we ought to operate with a great confidence and great boldness knowing that where i walk god walks too that there's not one room that i'm walking in that he hasn't already established a table for me in front of my enemies that's what gives us the great boldness and courage that comes on the disciples in acts 2 and acts 4 and acts 8 and acts 19 is this idea that wherever i go goodness favor mercy miracles and power it follows me your spirit introduces you before you show up [Applause] and that's why your spirit interferes and irritates some of the demonic stuff that people around you carry you ought to be aware of what manner of spirit you're in this is what jesus says to john and jenks in luke chapter 9 as jesus is ministering and john and james go ahead to prepare the way and they're upset because the samaritans say we don't want jesus and john and his brother james have this brilliant idea let's call down fire from heaven to consume the samaritan villages and jesus corrects them and he asked them this question do you know what manner of spirit you are in and maybe jesus would ask that same question of us tonight are you aware of what manner of spirit you are walking in and operating in how many times do we talk ourselves out of the power of the lord which is present to heal save and deliver because we are unaware of the manner of our spirit see my spirit is strong even when my flesh is weak see my spirit is strong even when the house is crowded see my spirit is strong even when the finances are up and down no my spirit is strong even when life seems to be falling apart no my spirit is strong even when the government stands against no my spirit is strong because greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world so what manner of spirit are you in see you've got the holy spirit and he's with you wherever you go and it's that spirit which makes an introduction for you prior to you ever showing up the bible says this of jesus in luke 2 verse 40 and verse 52. the bible says that jesus grew in wisdom favor and stature with god and with men meaning that as jesus continued to grow doing the work of his father that it was god himself who made an introduction into every room that he would walk in watch the tragedy of luke chapter 5 prior to us ever getting to the miracle watch the bible says jesus was present and the power of the lord was present to heal them who is the them the only characters introduced so far in luke 5 are pharisees and teachers of the law and the bible says the power of the lord was present to heal them but they would not receive healing i want you to know tonight even if you came as a critic of revival or have never seen a miracle in your life tonight is your night because the power of the lord is present to heal you but the tragedy of luke 5 precedes the miracle of luke 5. before we ever get to a man who's been paralyzed since birth being lowered down through a roof in order to be forgiven set free and healed we have pharisees and teachers of the law who have spent their lives their livelihood studying the words of god and yet are missing out on the son of god and yet the power of the lord was present to heal them how many times have i missed out on an encounter simply because the lord is more present than i am engaged the power of the lord was present to heal them now watch verse 18 then behold men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed whom they sought to bring in and lay before him and when they could not find how they might bring him in because the crowd they went up onto the house top let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before jesus now watch when he saw their faith he said to them he said to the man your sins are forgiven you the bible doesn't say when jesus saw the faith of the paralyzed man he says when he saw their faith the faith of his friends now watch this word gets good faith oftentimes looks like an invitation for somebody else to receive in fact every time you invite a person to this church you're making a statement of faith and sometimes the reason why you operate in a gift of faith is so that you can make a way for somebody else to receive and jesus says this in verse 20 when he saw their faith he healed their friend there's something that happens in a corporate setting where the faith of people around you pulls on heaven just enough for you to receive and here's the great news of gathering in a church like this on a saturday night even if you came in low as it pertains to what you're believing for what you're expecting or what you have faith for i believe god's good enough to sit you down next to a person who's got a little more than they need in the faith departments and when god sees their faith oftentimes he works a miracle in your life do you know in prayer this is what we do all the time i am adding watch my faith to yours you might have not even a mustard seed and i might have barely a mustard seed but when we add our faith together it's enough for a mountain to melt like wax when jesus saw their faith he says to this man man your sins are forgiven you jesus is doing an inner work just before he does an outer work because oftentimes forgiveness and healing go hand in hand now hear me this is important the same faith that you use to believe you are forgiven is the same faith you use to believe you are healed watch have you ever asked forgiveness for something and known that you've received forgiveness for something yet woken up the next day feeling guilty for the thing that you asked forgiveness for that's called life and what do you do when you feel guilt for things that you've already been forgiven for you use your faith to believe you've been forgiven now watch you get prayer at an altar and you get healed but you wake up the next day and you feel that pain coming back and you've got a decision to make well i use my faith to confess that i've been healed or will i use my doubt to invite that spirit of infirmity back into my life the same faith that you use to believe you've been forgiven you've been cleansed you've been made new you're going to heaven it's the same faith that you use to believe god has healed my body and done a work in my life it's the same faith and it's also subject to the same challenges it takes faith to it takes faith to please god it's impossible to operate in this whole christian context without having faith to believe and oftentimes what you'll find is god pulling on your faith when everything in your life is pulling in the opposite direction your flesh don't believe it's healed because your flesh ain't born again your spirit is and your flesh isn't going with you you're getting a new body and your flesh is upset about that so oftentimes what people do is they receive their healing but watch over the next season they talk themselves back into sickness oppression and bondage and can i tell you the same faith that you believe the same faith that you utilize to believe that i've been healed and delivered and cleansed and set free and god's doing something new in my life is the same faith that you apply day in and day out as you walk this thing out it's the same faith and jesus connects these two now if i'm the paralyzed man to be honest i'm disappointed jesus obviously my condition is that i'm paralyzed and yet what jesus is addressing watch is an inner work before he does an outer work why because jesus says this do not fear the man who can kill the body but instead who can take the soul and what would benefit a paralyzed man from being healed and yet still going to a christless eternity in fact i think people go to hell with healed backs all the time watch the gospel is not healing alone it's healing salvation deliverance it's a package deal and oftentimes what you'll find is that when you come to an altar you thought you were coming up for prayer for one thing but god by his spirit actually knows the three things that you don't even want anybody else to know but god by his spirit sends somebody who's more nosy than you to deal with them and then god does a whole package deal while you're up here at the altar it happens all the time pastor i got a bad shoulder pray for my shoulder and all of a sudden you got to forgive that person you didn't want to and you got to repent of that thing that you didn't want to repent of and and then god does six or seven inner works before he does an outer work and jesus looks at this man being lowered through the roof and can you imagine the commotion it would cause and as this man is brought by his friends they say something interesting then behold men brought up on a bed a man who was paralyzed whom they sought to bring in and lay before jesus i love that this is all the strategy his friends have there's no follow-up strategy there's no following jesus book to receive after you're done like crying your eyes out at the altar there's nothing this is their strategy if we can just get him to jesus and friend can i tell you you don't have to have everything figured out in your life to make a decision to just get to jesus this is where it starts let god figure the rest out let friends and community in church help figure the rest out here's your responsibility be in a place in your life where either you can make the decision or other people around you can help make the decision for you just to get to jesus if we could just lay him before the lord man if i if i could just get to a place where his presence rests and i don't even know what's going on but if i could just if i could just get to if i could just get to the house of god if i could just get into the presence of god i don't know how it's going to work but i know it's going to work and his friends cut a hole in the roof and they lower them down watch what happens verse 21 the scribes and the pharisees begin to reason saying who is this who speaks blasphemies who can forgive sins but god alone when jesus perceived their thoughts he answered and said to them why are you reasoning in your hearts which is easier to say your sins are forgiven or rise up and walk again jesus equates forgiveness with healing which is easier for god to do forgive your sins or heal your body for him it's the same thing sometimes hear me taking every thought captive means announcing your disagreement with other people's assessment of your situation sometimes taking every thought captive means announcing your disagreement with other people's assessment of your situation pharisees aren't even talking but they're talking in their hearts and jesus hears he says i know your reasoning in your hearts thinking to yourself this is blasphemous and how can he say that this man's sins are forgiven he certainly doesn't deserve that only god can do that who does this guy think he is let me translate that though to a modern context in your life you're sitting around hearing people say things like this you're probably going to have to learn just to live with it i don't think you'll ever recover sounds impossible you could never achieve that it will never work it can't ever happen i bet it only gets worse and sometimes we allow the subtle self-destructive prophecies of well-intentioned people around us to keep us imprisoned in bondage for way longer than is necessary and sometimes you ought to take control of the atmosphere in which you're in and not give in to the subtle lies of the enemy friend watch the enemy is the father of lies which means this every father has sons there's a reason he called the father of lies it's genealogical and sometimes for us we've allowed little lies to sow seeds of distrust and hopelessness and despair and infirmity in our lives and can i tell you next time you're in a negative critical cynical environment listening to everybody else give a final diagnosis for your circumstance why don't you just take captive of every thought no i actually i don't agree with that that's actually not my assessment i appreciate your opinion but everybody's got an opinion i know what god said i'm gonna stand on his word if i don't see it today i'm gonna see it tomorrow if i don't see it tomorrow i'm gonna see it next week i'm gonna believe it in my spirit until i receive it in my life now i'm gonna break agreement with the father of lies and his sons and daughters who lie all around me that's what jesus calls the pharisees he calls them sons of the devil he says your father is satan and you make people twice the sons of satan that they were before jesus is addressing the lies that religion tells the lies that complacency and apathy tells the lies that are all around us in in in our world through our different cultural messaging and he's encouraging people to allow the spirit of god to guide you into all truth and then allow that truth to set you free and so for us as we come into church this is a canopy of truth a pillar of truth by which we hear god's words and god's declaration over our lives now watch jesus says this but that you may know the son of man has power on earth to forgive sins he said to the man who was paralyzed i say to you arise take up your bed and go to your house immediately he rose up before them took what he had been lying on and departed to his own house glorifying god hear me healing is a manifestation of god's glory as a result of this man seeing god's glory his response is to glorify god and when you glorify god the net result of that activity is to see more of his glory now that might be confusing for you a little bit tonight but it's how we go from glory to glory healing deliverance salvation baptism encounter is a manifestation of god's glory in return when we see a manifestation of god's glory our human response is to glorify god as we glorify god we see greater manifestations of his glory which cause a greater honor of his glory in and through our lives this is the endless loop that jesus talks about in john 17. he says father that they would share in our glory so that they would be one so that they could see your glory so they could share in our glory so that they could be one so that they could see your glory so they could share in our glory so they could be one so that they can see your glory it is an endless cycle it takes you from glory to glory to glory healing is a manifestation of god's glory and as a result it caused the lame man to glorify god and as he glorified god it opened his mind and his spirit to see greater manifestations of god's glory and that's why it's so important for us that as we see god move and work in this environment we don't think of it as a result of our own goodness or our own deservedness but instead we take the opportunity to return all the glory back to him you know god won't share his glory with another but you're not another you're his beloved that that's what i'll get you about john 17. well you know god's in his glory you know people used to appreciate he won't share his glory god won't share his glory no he does on purpose and he likes to because you weren't created in your image you were created in his and do you know how the glory of god fills the whole earth when the people of god fill the whole earth that's how his glory fills the earth because you are a living breathing ambassador of god's glory which has been deposited in your life and this man who is paralyzed not only has an encounter that will forever change him but it will forever change his family his children his chosen children the narrative of that neighborhood the community as this man leaves running leaping jumping and praising god and i want you to know here what you encounter at a revival service at an extended conference on a sunday morning it's so important that it transforms you not just for a moment but instead that the overflow of your experience would even impact your family revival is best sustained when people don't view it through an entirely individualistic lens like man i'm so glad god is doing something in my heart hallelujah feels really great thank you jesus the the reason why you encounter glory is because you were designed to carry it and as you carry it everywhere you go it only grows and grows it grows and this is the principle of leaven of the kingdom the idea that one is once it is interjected it leavens everything that it touches and it continues to grow and multiply and duplicate friend there is no running out of this thing in fact the more you give the more you receive and that's why it's more blessed to give and for us in in this room as we're encountering the presence of god and the glory of god and we're walking in the favor of god and we're following after the heart of god what it returns us to is this idea of those who hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled those who taste and see that god is good will continually come back to taste and see again what it invites us into is a never-ending continually transformational cyclical pursuit of who he is that results in the transformation of our individual lives our family lives and and our community lives as we're gazing on the beauty and the brilliance of jesus as we're allowing that inner work to happen in the deep places that people can't see we are putting our full faith and full trust in the finished work of jesus christ knowing that what he began what he has established he by his spirit will see come to pass and fred tonight there's there's more for you there's more for us as a community you haven't graduated out of your need for glory you never will literally for the rest of eternity you'll gaze on the glory and the beauty and the brilliance of jesus and you will never get bored ever once there's so much more for us might have got healed last night good news there's more for you you might have got baptized 40 minutes ago i got good news there's more for you you might have just finished a a career and heading into your retirement years i got good news there's more for you regardless of where you find yourself on a spiritual roadmap tonight friend there is more for you and it comes from him we're creating an environment of faith by which anything can happen and as it does we return all glory and all honor to god why don't you stand with me this evening we're going to open the altars here in just a moment and we're gonna see god again do the impossible in our midst and there's living water here tonight for your life i'm confident that impossible circumstances are not more than just one request away from changing and shifting and tonight we're going to see the god of the impossible do some some impossible stuff healing is such a part of who he is that even when isaiah in the old testament prophesies about the messiah who is to come he says the way that we'll be able to identify that he's the messiah is that as he rises there will be healing in his wings as we honor god and his presence rises in our midst one of the direct benefits of that presence is healing oil that impacts our lives for some of you in here tonight you're alive today is the net result of healing that's happened in your life and some of you are in here tonight needing healing in order for your life to really continue or prosper regardless of where you're at we serve a jesus who meets us at the place of our needs in just a moment we're going to invite people to to the altar to pray one of the cool things from last night is we saw over and over again people who said i've gotten prayer a hundred times and i feel even dumb coming to the altar to ask for prayer again but for some reason this time something happened in my life and i want to want you to leave tonight missing an opportunity to receive prayer for god to do something incredible in your life because we serve the god who does the impossible maybe you're here tonight and you say pastor if i were to be honest i just i i just feel like there is a fire that should be in my heart but it just it feels lacking for whatever reason feels like maybe at one time i was really walking under a canopy of open heaven a canopy of god's grace and god's mercy but if i were to be honest man i feel dried up i feel like where did my passion go i thought where did my fire go and i'm here today to be interjected into the fire again friend tonight's tonight's your night god is so good he's so much better than we deserve and these are moments in time where god draws especially close to his people and in return the way that we honor that is by drawing near in our hearts and in our minds and i just sense that if you're here tonight you're here on purpose and there's something special from god for you in your life and i wouldn't want you to you to miss it i always tell people this when we pray for people at the altar there's all sorts of different manifestations manifestations are simply exterior physical signs of an interior work that the spirit of god is doing and before you're quick to judge somebody else's physical manifestation just be aware that you have no idea what has led them to this point you have no idea their journey their story their testimony what god has brought them through and so i try to just make room for people to interact with god any way that they want if you've been paralyzed your whole life and all of a sudden you're healed probably a little emotional he probably didn't get up from his mat all dignified and neatly packed it away and folded it up and he's probably yelling and screaming and he might have been cussing i don't even know all of a sudden he had feeling in his body and i'll just tell you this when the goodness of god interrupts your life's story all of a sudden people get free people get happy people start to move something begins to happen in people's lives if you're here tonight you need a miracle in your physical body or in your mind here's what i felt coming into tonight that people are really going to experience freedom in their mind and we love doctors and counselors and therapists we have many in this room we have a lot that we work with one of the ways that god heals people is through the work of doctors and medicine we believe in all that i also believe in a jesus who supernaturally heals saves and delivers and so we're not either or we're both and if you're here tonight and you've been suffering with a mental health condition i really believe tonight there's freedom for you there's freedom for you and mental health is one of the strongholds in this area depression and stress and suicide and anxiety and and mental disorders one of the strong men in this region is one of the disorders that's very prominent here in the northwest and jesus has come to make a public embarrassment of every demonic stronghold okay so in just a moment we're going to invite you forward and you might just be here tonight you say pastor that's me i know that's me maybe it rained in my family maybe it's recent maybe it's been with me for a long time i just really believe there's healing for you tonight and i think even as a manifestation of healing happening in your mind there's going to be joy the oil of joy for the spirit of heaviness there's going to be things that just lift off you some of you here tonight you can literally feel the oppression on your shoulders and your neck it just feels like a heaviness you feel like man there's a dark cloud that just seems to follow me wherever i go friend there is healing for you tonight others of you here you're just you're dealing with really demonic nightmares night terrors in just a moment i'm gonna invite you forward there's healing for you tonight there's other people here just even randomly you've been dealing with like suicidal thoughts and maybe you're not even that type of person you're like i don't even know where this came from it just feels like it came out of nowhere well it came from the pit so let's send it back and let's get you healing and freedom tonight in jesus day come on there's just freedom there's deliverance for you tonight come on there's somebody with an ankle injury tonight you're going to receive healing i really believe too that god is putting his hand on blood disorders and i know those are harder to tell in an environment like this but there's some of you who've been dealing with stuff even for years and the next time you go to your doctor they're going to go hey we can go ahead and take you off this medicine we're not sure what happened but you no longer have this condition and you're going to remember this moment and you're going to go oh that's what happened the lord is healing congestive heart failures tonight he he's just healing i just keep getting his word he's healing internal organs he's repairing he's restoring he's healing he's healing he's gonna do a great work in your life he's also healing stomach issues so different people uh i think i

do as you receive healing i just want you to wave at me i want you just to just just just to show a sign just to testify i've received a healing touch of god in my life what begins to happen in an atmosphere like this is a chain reaction one person recognizes that they've been healed and all of a sudden you have 5 10 20 30 40 and so as you receive prayer part of what activating in your faith looks like is then to begin to step out and then to begin to test that thing out all of a sudden i can move my shoulder all of a sudden i can move my knee all of a sudden i have range of motion in my back all of a sudden something has lifted off of my life oftentimes the spirit of god will begin to manifest in or on our bodies sometimes like a heat sometimes you'll feel it like a heat in a certain part of your body and you'll go what's going on and then all of a sudden god will begin by his spirit a creative miracle in your life so as you get prayer as you receive prayer come on now begin to test that thing out begin to move oftentimes as you begin to move what happens is god finishes the healing god finishes the healing okay we've got one we've got two i saw another hand in the back

been believing for my prayer language for whatever reason maybe i haven't received yet or maybe at one time i did but i just haven't been active in praying in my heavenly prayer language i just want to add my faith to yours to see god release that in your life tonight i think is one of the most important and powerful tools for a believer especially in this season i'm asked joe and charlotte to
