priest yahweh come on you can do better than that come on [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right it's going to come in hot and heavy tonight [Music] before we dive in if you have your bibles you could go ahead and turn to galatians 4. we've got some resources out on the table our team claudia and jod are here if we can be of any help to you the two primary burdens that i carry is a burden for the church of jesus christ and a burden for the nation i wrote two books this year that have both become number one bestsellers i released a book january 1 of this year called trump and the future of america i know some of you might have read that but i had an encounter with the lord where he said to me that the future of america belongs in the hands of the baby boomers and so i have been carrying a very specific burden for those born between 1946 and 1964. i actually believe that this group of people is what carries the anointing and authority in the earth to shift the culture and so as a millennial i have done my best to honor to serve and to get behind the boomers notice none of the boomers are out rioting and looting hello this is a group of people that have been given an anointing from above the true patriots the true group of people in this nation that recognize what's at stake and i don't believe it was by coincidence that during this covet 19 pandemic that the new york post ran an article referring to covet 19 as the boomer remover i actually believe that in many ways this virus has specifically targeted a demographic of people knowing how significant they really can be in this upcoming election lots of encounters in here trump and the future of america and then lastly judgment on the house of god cleansing and glory are coming just representing the burden that i have for the nation i had an angelic encounter last year where two angels visited me an angel of cleansing and an angel of glory the angel of glory told me that there is a boom that's coming to the upper room but this angel of cleansing had a big broom in its hands it said to me before the boom comes the broom must come and i do believe that there's going to be a boom that comes to the upper room a type of last day's outpouring but i believe that it is solely dependent upon the church receiving her cleansing that there's actually a judgment that we should pray for that we should welcome and that we should not be afraid of just remember the devil never counterfeits trash so the reason why the gospel of grace was counterfeited is because the devil knew how powerful pure grace is so there's also been a hack job on judgment [Music] when you say that word just erupts all sorts of things inside of people that i don't believe god ever intended it to so judgment on the house of god cleansing and glory are coming let's give the worship team a round of applause and you can be done that was awesome all right galatians chapter 4. if i had a title for tonight's message it would be called beware of another jesus i'm going to share an encounter that i had one year ago today was one of the most scariest experiences of my life as i had an encounter with who i thought was jesus but this being actually revealed itself to me as another jesus i have been dreaming since i was seven years old my mom had a dream in her womb to name me jeremiah that things would come very early on and so i began to experience things in the supernatural very early god marked me and many of the encounters uh that i have i'm not comfortable sharing i don't know if you've ever heard of these people they you know they talk about just like seeing jesus like flippantly and their marriage is a train wreck uh you ain't seen jesus if your marriage is a train wreck because it's a holy thing the glory of god in exodus 3 it just didn't pass before moses the hebrew actually says it passed through him so right glory is just not some external reality the real glory comes to bring character transformation a lot of people haven't been in the glory they've been in an emotional state where nothing actually changed and so for me when i begin to share some of these encounters i'm not doing it to to gain popularity i'm not sharing this encounter tonight to try to bring to build a following my desire in sharing this encounter at the request of the lord is to bring transformation internally to our minds and our hearts i've been asking god for this weekend that he would remove the veils that he would remove the scales that we would be like blind bartimaeus and cry out son of david have mercy on me we need a real living active encounter ongoing with the son of man we have to recognize the necessity of beholding him for who he truly is in this generation i believe that covet 19 has been used by the lord to expose the american church i liken it too we just went to a football game and they hung 40 on us 40 to nothing and so i believe that we're in a season right now where god is asking the church to re-examine even the gospel that we have believed to even i it's like we we need to go back to the drawing board because what we've been doing in the american church obviously isn't working we do not need to go back to business as usual sermonettes produce christianettes drive through church three songs in a nice message jesus being a salt and pepper shaker that adds flavor to your life that's not going to work in an hour of crisis because jesus is the life he is the way and he is the truth and in an hour of shaking internet see some of you that deer in the headlight anointing is flowing brother what kind of anointing do you flow in the deer in the headlight we've been exposed the devil just hung 40 on the church we're down 40 to nothing and there's a remnant that's rising there are people being called out from frozen chosen assembly with pastor frigidaire there's people waking up from i feel like i'm gonna break this mic they're they're waking up from religiosity there's an awakening that's happening but we have to do the work of going back to the foundation and asking ourselves how have we been so deceived i believe that there's an apostolic burden that paul carried that i believe the lord has been imparting to me for you all tonight that if by his grace we could tap into this burden we could begin to get his heart for the state of the church i don't really feel like i'm here to talk about the state of the nation although i do have a burden for this nation what i believe i'm here tonight to do is to address the church of jesus christ to challenge our theology to ask us to consider again to recommit to the lord jesus christ i've given my life to jesus about 68 times i've never heard repent holiness i've never heard those words and left feeling like god didn't love me i've always heard repentance and holiness and there is more as god thank you that you love me enough not to leave me the way that you found me so grateful for the love of god that comes and confronts every other lover what a great line that was love is returning can you imagine a husband coming home and his wife is in the bed with another man love is returning you might have not thought about that one that's what i was thinking about yeah love's returning you better get right we invite the love the presence the glory of god into our lives it comes and exposes the darkness somebody look at your neighbor and say crickets galatians 4 we love you jesus we love the church in nashville that jesus died for galatians 4 19 paul sharing his burden because the gospel has become polluted they're battling the law and paul he expresses a burden my children with whom i am again in labor until christ is formed in you how many parents in this room along with myself i'm again in the pains of childbirth we already talked about this i've already given you instructions why aren't you listening to me paul commits he says i'm for you no matter how dark you become you're still lovely folks i want to speak just for a second to prophets and prophetic people and intercessors you don't have a right to judge the church unless you're willing to die for her jesus christ came and he was rejected and he was despised and all the prophets said amen there's no kind of suffering and rejection that you have experienced by leaders and by the church that jesus christ hasn't already come as an example and now has invited us into maturity to bear the cross of suffering with him now is not the time to give up on the church now is the time to learn how to love her and lay down your life like never before i'm here to call prophets out of your caves of the old testament and learn how to come to a dining room table called family in the new testament five of you praise the lord come on love is returning come on how many parents are in here no matter how far they run the door is always open how many you can say amen you love your kids no matter how much they rebel no matter how much they turn on you they lie on you they cheat on you come on somebody say amen they steal on you honey i still love you we're in bad shape in the american church but he still loves us there's a groan there's a burden that paul carried i believe there's a groan and there's a burden that god is carrying for his bride in america he's staring into our darkness and he's willing to say i know the truth about you and i still choose love but i want to examine our gospel i've had the opportunity personally to encounter jesus christ in my bedroom three times in my life i have written about all three encounters when i read this encounter that i had exactly one year ago today i just brought it from my journal so i don't miss any of the uh the details let me let me read it last night in my dream who i thought was jesus appeared to me again but as i drew closer i instantly realized it was not him it was an imposter i grabbed him by the throat and said who are you with dazzling eyes in a type of glaring seduction that i will never forget he said i'm another jesus i immediately let him go and he began to laugh a bone-chilling laugh that went through my spine for some reason i began demanding what his assignment was where was he going in america and why with anger he said i can only go where i'm welcome and not where i please because the son of man has restrained me i can only go where i'm welcome and not where i please because the son of man has restrained me i said who would ever welcome you into their midst he began to laugh a deep belly laugh and said i'm currently making my way all over the west coast many of the churches there love me they also love me in the lecture halls of america in the east where they openly debate theology and most of all i am readily welcome on many worship teams in america they just love me to write the songs and lead the people in worship immediately he vanished and i sat up in my bed now one year ago today i wrote a year ago i'm still processing but i believe it is time for many of us though it might be difficult to start coming to grips with the truth that there could be another jesus writing our worship songs in america there could be another jesus walking in our lecture halls in the east are christian liberal universities debating theology and this false christ is infiltrating west coast churches like never before and he will not be he will not stop unless he's exposed resisted and cast out remember this other jesus can only go where it is welcome the son of man has restrained him and he will not enter into places who know and worship the true jesus of nazareth second corinthians 11 4 4 if someone comes to you and preaches a jesus other than the jesus we preached or if you receive a different spirit from the spirit you received or a different gospel from the one you accepted listen to paul's words you put up with it too easily because i know we want to get spiritual and i know that we want to take our stand and me we immediately want to see that i would never i would never entertain i would never forsake the true jesus but there is a cunningness and there is a deception that i believe that god is trying to expose even in the midst of covet 19. god called prophets in the old testament to cry out to kings and one of the cries to the kings was you must tear down the high places the term high places was mentioned 117 times in the old testament in fact it was so difficult to tear down the the high places that only hezekiah and his grandson josiah successfully tore down the high places in their generation and i will also have you know that two of the great revivals in the old testament came through hezekiah and josiah in other words to a generation who rises up and tears down the high places it opens up the gates for genuine revival and reformation to come upon the land but nonetheless there is a high price for tearing down the high places now in the old testament the high places were literally built in high places a lot of people i'll give you a scripture i look to the heavens i look to the hills where does my help come from you know what it's saying i look to the hills and i see the high places where does my help come from i look to the hills i see where a culture has erected high places false gods where does my help come from it comes from my maker the maker of heaven and earth now to make it applicable to our talk tonight about the burden that i believe god has for even nashville i believe that god has been revealing to me that one of the greatest high places in the american church is called our feelings if you're wearing a large pair of shoes go ahead and pull your toes back real quick make some room in there one of the greatest high places that god wants torn down in this generation is called our feelings and to get to the core of it what we have done is we have associated truth with how it makes me feel so if the word of god is preached and it doesn't make me feel good then it can't be the truth or if two homosexuals are in love and they're feeling it that's okay because they're feeling it and they're in love or if i'm a young person and i don't feel like working i guess i don't have to because i'm not feeling it or if i'm married told you to pull those those toes back and i'm not feeling it i guess i i'm not in a covenant i'm in a feelings partnership so when i'm not feeling it anymore i'm out of here and so we have created in the church that's now manifesting in the nation not going to talk about it tonight but i believe that antifa and the blm movements are birthed in these high places of feelings but they were given permission by the church it's like the lgbtq agenda going to the lord in prayer several years ago lord them out there the lord said to me no jeremiah it was the church who failed to address heterosexuality is who that's what our failure to address heterosexual immorality in the church is what gave the homosexual agenda its true power and tifa and blm might be rioting and looting in the streets but that same attitude sits in church every sunday you're not gonna tell me what to do i had a dream several years ago i remember sharing at morningstar ministries with rick joyner i had a dream where there was a big black principality with wings that were huge that was flying in flying out of the atlantic into the east coast have any of you heard this encounter you say by the book no i'm just kidding and it was carrying a big black book and this demonic principality with these large wings was carrying a large black book and written on the book said the gospel of self-accommodation i don't have time to get into the fullness of the dream but this gospel of accommodation is being preached in churches all over america it seeks to fit the gospel into your lifestyle rather than your lifestyle fitting into the gospel the gospel of accommodation is there's a buffet of whatever you want to do in life and this false gospel usually begins with every head bowed in every eye closed come on i lived like the devil at the barn at the club so everybody could see me but now when i turn to christ no one can watch come on i couldn't get out to the club till midnight and i got back at 6 00 a.m but pastor church better be an hour you worked harder for the devil than you ever have for jesus christ you need deliverance come on i don't have a good attention span you got to get me out of here in an hour says the dad who plays video games 10 hours a day it's called idolatry i promise i'm not mad i didn't have a bad day so this gospel of self-accommodation that i believe is preached it's a false gospel that produces false converts where when it's all about health wealth and prosperity we don't really know what to do in crisis i wish i could tell you what's really going on in the body of christ [Music] folks do you realize that over the last several months large movements in the earth literally have no grid for what's happening there's no word of the lord because it doesn't even fit into their gospel man i've been really getting in trouble jeff by talking about the rapture how beefed up is your security in here are we good i've been we're people are people are ready to go up and jesus is saying grow up i think covid 19 is birth pangs i think it's a preview of what's to come i think that we're in a season of divine reset where god is waking up a church that's sleeping you know we've been running into to to folks who who were delivered of of radical you know substance abuse backgrounds right and they've been going to church for a while and then all of a sudden in the midst of covet 19 there's a sound that has been waking them up where they're like yeah this is what i was born for i didn't get delivered from darkness to to to go in and i didn't get delivered from darkness to go and rot on the back of a church pew i got delivered from darkness listen some people you've been domesticated too long you've been domesticated by a spirit of religion and god is about to set a generation of wild ones free come on let's give the lord a shout of praise are you awake yet but we're just running into people that are finally like yes like i served the devil awesome and now i can serve god awesome [Applause] like you never [Music] we're just you know we're fathering some of these guys like brother you never back down from a bar fight one time but you are you're like a christian like what happened you you were the life of the party and you got married and now your your wife is the spiritual one a doormat what happened [Music] [Applause] okay how we doing welcome to nashville so the real gospel is the gospel of self-denial deny yourself pick up your cross and follow christ right but that doesn't make me feel good brother i'm looking for i call them tickle me elmo prophecies because this pollution and this perversion has infected all of the ministries apostle prophet teacher pastor and evangelist and so when i needed to make me feel good infiltrates prophetic ministry it gathers people who are ready to be stroked when god is here to provoke folks our our teeth are rotted out in the prophetic movement so much sugar and so when vegetables and meat get served people cannot even feast on the real word of god [Music] and the very people who are true prophets we think they're false this is what concerns me the most in the prophetic movement we don't even know how to receive true prophets we don't even know how to bend at the preaching of the real word of the lord because we have believed a gospel that's centered around me and not christ how are we doing okay you want to read some bible turn to mark 10. i believe that god is raising up messengers in the earth who are going to confront the false gospel of accommodation i believe that there is another jesus that's roaming this nation and god is going to raise up a remnant that will not only resist the agenda but they're going to move in the spirit and power of elijah the rich young ruler heard this story mark 10 we're gonna begin reading in verse 20. jesus a little background begins to explain what it's like to follow him and he throws out this is what you need to do and in verse 20 he the rich young ruler said to him teacher i've kept all these things from my youth up great track record verse 21 and looking at him jesus felt a love for him all right did you just hear that jesus feels love in his heart for the rich young ruler and said to him one thing you lack get rid of everything what you mean when the real gospel is preached strippers walk into the meetings and leave preachers you mean there's this type of gospel conversion that we hardly see anymore in the church folks where is it pray a little prayer do a little dance get down tonight raise your hands on sunday pull your pants down on friday we love you lord where's the power brother where's the gospel signs and wonders will follow his word you know where the power is there's no word they said to isaiah stop confronting us with the holy one of israel we have told our prophets and our preachers see folks we want to blame church leaders and they have a responsibility before the lord but what about your hunger oh brother i'm just not getting fed you don't go to church to get fed you get fed in the secret place you go to church to contribute [Applause] because it's not about you the central theme of the gospel like the the elementary principles deny yourself what i found pastoring is the most easy way to disarm complainers is ask them to contribute well the carpet's green and it's nasty and it's old great would you love to buy the church new carpet [Applause] [Music] they leave i believe with all my heart that god is preparing a remnant in america and i just i feel i feel the heart of god i hope i'm communicating his heart i know you don't know me is that people do you beat your kids you yell at your wife you're a hard preacher brother you just need an encounter with the father's love what jesus looked at the rich young ruler with love and he said sell everything the love of the father is transformational when he wraps his arms around us when we encounter that liquid love of the gospel everything changes it's in that exchange it's it's in that embrace where it's less of us and more of him that's the kind of love that he wants to pour out in this generation if you're taking notes i just encourage you to write this down how jesus's words make me feel emotionally is not a good gauge of truth how jesus's words make me feel emotionally is not a good indicator of truth when i hear the word of god preached the first question should be is this true not how does it make me feel god is going to raise up lovers of the truth in this generation i believe that fresh messengers are being released that are going to make the older intercessors weep and rejoice because the plum line will be dropped where are the steve hills where are the david wilkersons where are the leonard raven hills god is going to raise up a fresh generation of messengers and the spirit and power of elijah that are going to drop the hammer they're going to preach the word and the fire is going to fall they're not going to be liked by the masses i just they're being prepared and released even now bevel and beatty sean floyd you're you're seeing several messengers who fear god more than they fear man begin to emerge on the front lines and they're not going to back down from the battle how we do in first timothy 3 15 paul wrote to timothy i write to you so that you would know how to conduct yourself in the household of god which is the church of the living god the pillar and support of truth i believe in every generation there are pervading ideology and demonic strategies that are unleashed against that generation and the church as the fortress of truth if she does not rise up and confront the pervading darkness and deception she will go apostate well brother do you believe in hell well it's like why won't we answer yes or no you be homosexual and christian what why won't because it's all about our feelings we are afraid that if we offend and wouldn't you know it's we live in the most overly sensitive me and my and if you disagree with me i'm gonna take my pity party home and i i it's like people you there's so much immaturity we can't even be friends with people that have opposing views we're so in our feelings i love john piper sorry he says my feelings are not god god is god my feelings do not define truth god's word defines truth my feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives and sometimes many times my feelings are out of sync with the truth when that happens and it happens every day in some measure i try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings but rather i plead with god purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with your truth can we just take 10 seconds just bow your heads lord we're asking in jesus name that you would bring our feelings in alignment with truth that when the truth is spoken by my wife hello and by those in authority when the truth is spoken and it doesn't make me feel good may i not reject it all right how we doing confession i've been praying this prayer in preparation for tonight and my wife chewed me out last night for one hour and 30 minutes she literally gave me one of the biggest butt chewings of almost 11 years of marriage and you know what the lord said to me shut up and i'm literally sitting there fuming because i'm offended and it doesn't feel good and god is saying yes son i love you you're gonna make some changes does anybody want to reverse the prayer they just prayed husbands he better tap out right now but but when when when the delusion of our feelings overtakes us says why have a passion and a burden when that delusion overcomes us we begin to reject the very people and circumstances that god sent to help us anybody heard a church hopping uh-oh got any toes left oh i just go from church to church in other words as soon as i got offended i just go to the next church down the road so people have been to 58 churches and they're proud about it they've had 28 spiritual fathers and they're proud about it lord i want to be rooted and i want to be grounded and i want to be a lover of truth and i want to hang in there and i want to be able to debate and talk through hard issues and not back out because i don't want to get in my feelings i'm telling you the lord is trying to tear down the high places of feelings even in nashville i love worship i am a worshiper i am not speaking against worship but what i have noticed even in this generation is we don't know how to press in without notes take away the keyboard take away the guitar and it's like because unless we're emotionally stirred up i mean folks i've been in gatherings my whole life pentecostal people are screaming yelling going berserk so like i don't even know if it's god or just human emotion holy spirit is this you i grew up a pastor's son just like confused like lord these people fall down in altars the the glory is here or something revival and everybody's got 28 prophetic words and like because i was past her son like the marriages and the families are a train wreck like what folks that that that same jeremiah welcome to the millennials they they look at the boomers they look at the parents and say if that's revival no thanks and so folks my age in their 30s and 40s our hunger for revival is healthy marriage and family because we never saw it modeled in our parents who chased after revival god is going to raise up a generation who has character that matches anointing there's going to be healthy families healthy marriages stewarding the real gospel of jesus christ signs wonders and miracles we've made a deal with the devil and we never had to we associate strong power ministries with they must be having an affair on their wife like we swallowed it like a package deal my brother david had an affair listen i'm not looking at any character in the bible to model my life after except jesus christ the perfect spotless lamb of god all power all authority who was without sin the church is a culture of truth not a culture of feelings can you hang in there with me number two you cannot separate jesus from what he says and it be the real jesus you cannot separate jesus from his word and still get the real jesus so we're either gonna have a jesus the god of revelation or we're gonna have a god of the imagination are we interacting with a god that we've created in our own image who never touches our sin who never addresses our idolatry because it's all about us how are we following that or are we living our life based upon the word of god mark 8 38 for whoever is ashamed of me and my words the son of man will be ashamed of him brother i just thought i was supposed to like confess christ and attend a great church no actually to be a convert a disciple of christ means i'm growing in the knowledge and understanding of who god is through his word folks the prophetic movement is bankrupt on the word of god thank god they can read your social security number your phone number but they don't even know ten scriptures i thank god for experiences but god is going to drop a plumb line of the word of god in this generation less sugar more meat and more vegetables so that in an hour of crisis my anchor is in the word of god not i'm not feeling it it is a trap and a deception i'm here to sound the alarm jeff has already blown the trumpet love and truth are going to get married in nashville we're going to know real love we're going to know a truth that cost us something this is why in the proverbs it says by truth and do not sell it because we don't look at truth as valuable when the only thing that sets you free is the truth but before the truth sets you free it's going to make you angry the word of god is alive it's active it's like a dull sword it feels like butter oh that was the jj translation it's sharper than any two double edged sword paul says to timothy he exhorts him as a young man in the faith concerning the word of god the word of god is for encouragement encouragement encouragement oh sorry that's the jj translation again you know you all have a translation we'd rather have the highlighter god we just like to highlight passages of scripture that make us feel good and ignore the passages of scripture that don't like john 3 16 amen for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son but whoever shall believe in him shall not perish but have how many of you yes amen got it brother crazy thing is i've never heard verse 36 included in verse 16. they that believe in the son have eternal life but they who reject the son the wrath of god the greek says is currently and continually abiding upon them so how about a correct gospel presentation are you ready i stand up and i preach the love of god i proclaim the everlasting mercy and grace that's found in jesus christ but then i properly exegete the word of god by saying and if you're in here and you are continually and habitually living a life of sin the wrath of god is on you right now that's the gospel but that doesn't make me feel good and and what if people leave jeff because i thought the church was all about making people feel good and donuts and coffee and fog machines and i mean i thought the goal of leadership was just to like create an atmosphere where people are so comfortable now god's not comfortable well i kind of think john 3 16 you know for old guys like you jeff and jan see my generation we we lost john 3 16. you know what the new john 3 16 is romans 2 4. for the kindness of god that's the new john 3 16 young people for the kindness of god leads us toward repentance um it's funny though i always hear verse 4 but never verse 5 but because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart you are storing up the wrath of god for yourself on judgment day it's not romans 2 4 or romans 2 5 it's not picking love or picking truth it's saying the full council of god is going to be preached in a generation a remnant is going to rise up and swallow it whole and up out of receiving the true gospel of jesus christ there is going to be a discipleship movement birthed even in the charismatic church hallelujah god let the pentecostal and the charismatics actually know the word of god [Applause] we know more about jezebel and judas and absalom than we know about jesus christ the son of god [Applause] but it doesn't sell this stuff doesn't draw big crowds so the devil and god then are both asking the same question what are you willing to sell for the truth [Music] got any money jed for real though let me have some give me some hundreds see we all love jesus until the right offer comes until the right girl comes until the right job offer comes we we all love the lord praise the lord brother grew up in the church go to global fire what are you willing to sell for the truth because my revelation is if you're not sold out you will sell out and we are living in a day in an age where lukewarm american church will no longer do [Applause] there is a shaking and there is a crisis and there is a purifying fire that's going to expose it's going to expose church leadership hirelings who are just doing it for the money and it's going to expose the people of god who think that church leader's job is to babysit them i really don't mind changing babies diapers i've got an eight-year-old a six-year-old a four-year-old and a two-year-old two four six eight who do we appreciate [Applause] mom i don't mind changing our two-year-old she's almost she's getting potty trained praise god but you know when they're young when it's a new convert people are coming out of sexual abuse and the horrors of they they need care they need love but here's the thing we've got people in the church that have been saved 30 years that still want their diaper change [Applause] we've got people they they and again they're arrogant and prideful so brother i already heard that i don't bring my bible to church i've already heard that yeah but why isn't there evidence in your life that you've heard that well i know that scripture but does that scripture know you yeah you can sing the words on the screen but do you have a song on your heart i'm all for coddling i am all for nurturing i'm all for taking care of the broken and the hurting and i'm not preaching i i believe in pastoral ministry and the care of the people of god we've planted churches we've established them jeff has been down there i've leaned into that but i just happen to believe that in the church of jesus christ he is coming for folks who have been saved for years still wanting milk it's interesting it comes in hebrews 3. i have much to say concerning him but i can't i i can't even take you into the deeper mysteries of christ because you still want to be coddled just talk one second about the orphan spirit i believe that a large part i'm a former young adult pastor we've always had young people i've always been connected to the young generations they've taught me a lot i've wrestled through a lot of even what i'm sharing tonight because i've seen first hand i've tried to lead people on college campuses to christ and preach the real gospel and you know they say to me well that that's great but does he is he going to tell me what to do yes he's lord not just your savior i see the i see the wrestle but this this whole conflict of of feelings and it's it's it's all about me it tends to to come to its head at times it becomes confrontational even in homes among parents moms and dads are you wanting an encounter for your children that you yourself aren't willing to have it is a is a failure to love the truth among young people really a result of parents who failed to discipline big fan of of john wesley lover of revival history i was always drawn to susanna wesley moore his mother she was big on child rearing sorry she spanked i know we don't do that because it hurts doesn't work and you know she had this conviction that parents are the primary example of who god is to their kids so if i never tell my kids no if i grow up in a home where i'm the center of the universe when i believe the gospel i think the same thing about god he's never going to tell me no he's never going to correct me god wouldn't rebuke me and if i hear a preacher actually preach the word of god and he seems like a little fired up you know he must the issues with him not me so we shoot the messenger so we don't have to receive the message so i really even believe practically what god is looking for in the remnant is a parenting movement [Applause] where we raise children in parent-centered homes not child-centered homes you teach them it's not about you you are not going to tell me what to do you're not going to dictate the schedule around here when you're born in a baby i'm going to give you some grace but as you get older here are the boundaries here here is come on that they're in the headlight things strong because again like i'm a product of the charismatic movement like revival you know and i know people are hoping people fall down and you know somebody get a word i when we cry for revival i'm like lord restore marriages god help a help a dad who's emotionally not there to like learn how to connect with his daughters [Applause] like lord deliver somebody who thinks they have to drive a bentley around all the time and have six houses like lord help them to simplify their life so their kids like actually know them lord send revival to quote paul have i become your enemy by telling you the truth we don't have time to get there tonight but i mean even they they believed in jesus and he starts telling them explaining them the cost and they believed in him in verse 4 and by verse 20 they're trying to throw him off a cliff so what does god want to do tonight as we land the plane i believe he wants to speak to areas in our lives we're all on a journey to know god to know the fullness of who he is i grew up in a home where i had a dad in a sports world who it was intense 24 7. up in your face yelling screaming so growing up i just i thought god was mad all the time i remember being 21 years old on my honeymoon i got married early i literally had this conversation with god where he says to me jeremiah you need me to be angry at you to serve me like i literally needed god to not be pleased with me or i didn't even know how to function because it was all about performance and there was a minister that i started listening to that preached on the goodness of god and it healed a part of my soul that i was deficient in because of my upbringing but on that journey this minister began to tell people he didn't believe in hell he didn't believe in the present day judgment of god and i literally i remember being in my car crying saying god why how did you use this man to heal a part of me from my childhood but now i recognize he doesn't preach the full gospel i mean literally like help me lord i had an addiction to a man some of you are addicted to preachers and summer of bethel and summer of ihop summer of todd white a friend of mine so some are brother i only i always cringe i only listen to them i only and i was crying and the lord delivered me from ever believing that one man had it all and then when i found deliverance god put a man in my life who told me jeremiah you don't have to choose between love and truth it's the same god you don't have to choose between his goodness and his severity it's the same god and he said you know how we're going to work through it we're going to learn how to read our bibles the god of genesis to the god of revelation i'm not going to cherry pick certain scriptures that make me feel good when i read something in the word that's hard to swallow it's an invitation to wrestle believe god wants to set some of you free from an orphan spirit orphans receive correction as rejection i believe god has much of this generation and an absolute choke hold where any message of repentance or holiness the fear of the lord any such message they walk out thinking god doesn't love me i'll never measure up the bar is too high i'll never achieve and god wants to release healing to your life tonight so that you might know him as a good father that when he exposes and reveals areas in our lives where we're lacking there's actually a deep intimate encounter with the father that has been made available to us in christ jesus want to deliver you from conference christianity get off the roller coaster of taking a hit from the next minister who blows in the door yet rooted and anchored in the word of god he's walking a generation along the road called emmaus where he is going to reveal himself through the law the psalms the prophets and the new testament my greatest heartbreak was through coven 19 churches shutting down it was fathers who didn't even know how to disciple their own kids because i need pastor oh what if god let churches be shut down the last several months so that we could actually even in our homes and in our marriages begin to eat the word of god for ourselves see how are we going to grow we're going to grow when you rip the feeding tube out of your mouth that's connected to this pulpit and you learn how to eat on god for yourself so that an hour of temptation and crisis were pastors not there and bethel's not playing in that hour when you're not feeling it you choose truth because it's his word when your marriage is on the rocks and you're done you remember you committed to a covenant we need a backbone in this generation we we need a people young and old that are i i felt a revival like josiah's day coming to the church where literally god is going to resurrect the true preaching the centrality of the word of god to a people that love the spirit he's going to endure inject the truth of his word some people that love the truth they need an injection of the spirit but there's balance that's coming lord impart to me tonight whatever i'm lacking god heal me that see the thing is is where we don't find healing we we can't minister out of that place god i want to know you but i want the real you lord i'm tired of putting on makeup on you to my friends it's like we're we're still trying to keep jesus in the closet is coming for his bride before he comes for his church he is coming to his church there's going to be this glorious unveiling just weeping in my hotel today just this i can see it the veil being removed from our eyes deception and other jesus being confronted and pure and simple i believe that the greatest threat to darkness and america is pure and simple-hearted devotion to jesus lord make me a lover of your word would you pray with me tonight god we come before you tonight in murfreesboro in nashville and god we just ask would you work on us father thank you that you're safe that you're not like any
