Daniel Kolenda - CfaN: Christ for All Nations 2018 - Glory departed

down and this thing would happen all by itself but I am I'm really excited just to share with you for a few moments I want to I have something that's on my heart to preach but before I do that I just can't help myself I have to talk to you a little bit about the harvest is that okay could anybody use some good news in Toronto you know whenever you watch the news you got to remember that news agencies are businesses and it's the bad news that sells and so that's what they're gonna give you and they're gonna feed you 24/7 is the bad news but I'm an evangelist and I preach the gospel and the gospel means good news and so I'm gonna give you some good news tonight we are living in the greatest days of harvest in the history of the world these are the days of revival these are the days of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit these are the days of salvation these are the days where millions are being swept into the kingdom of God and we get to live right in the midst of this amazing amazing time how many of you enjoyed that video that we saw I wish I could really take you with me to Africa and I wish that you could see with your own eyes what God is doing we have seen since 1987 more than 78 million people come to Christ in these gospel campaigns in Africa I think somebody didn't hear me maybe maybe English doesn't work so well here in Canada I said 78 million people since 1987 and let me just let me just put that into perspective for you because I know when you hear a number like 78 million it's a bit overwhelming isn't it most of us don't interact with numbers that big on a daily basis if you do come talk to me I'd like to sign you up as a donor but if you break that down you do the math that comes out to more than 7,000 people per day for 30 consecutive years that is the time that we are living in it is the greatest season of harvest in the history of the world and I'm gonna tell you something else I know this is going out over the internet so I'm taking a risk by saying this but I'm gonna say it anyway the Muslim world is coming to Jesus Muslims are being saved by the millions I tell you what the devil is no match for the gospel of Jesus Christ for the love of God for the power of the gospel and I'll tell you what we are seeing we are seeing in Muslim regions they are being shaken miracles and signs and wonders and the lost are being saved it's absolutely amazing I let me share a couple stories with you is that okay you haven't heard too many stories this week yet have you I'm gonna share a couple stories with you and I want to play a video for you as well because there are some things that can only be explained to a certain extent and then you've got to see it with your own eyes we were in a region in West Africa I'm gonna be careful about I'm gonna be careful about using specifics because we want to go back to these places if you understand we were in West Africa and we were having a gospel crusade in a very Muslim area and as is our custom whenever we go into one of these places we go and we visit the local rulers and in many places in Africa the tribes and these local regions are still ruled over by kings and so we pay our respects to those kings even if they're Muslim kings if they will see us we will go and we'll honor them and so we went to visit one of these Muslim kings who was over this region and we went to his palace now I used the word palace generously it was actually a small Hut probably smaller than half of this platform and to get to it I had to walk past a dozen goats and a donkey and then I had to stoop down it was a mud hut with thatched roof and when I came inside there was no lights there was no electricity it was dark and my eyes adjusted to the darkness and there I could see sitting on an elevated platform was the king and there were several steps leading down and at the bottom were all of his chief dignitaries sitting on the on the step in a semicircle surrounding his chair his throne and one of the deputies came over to me where I was sitting along the back wall and he said the King gives his apologies because it would be normally customary for him to stand and welcome his guests but the king is crippled and so he cannot stand I said thank you Jesus and there just happened to be that day usually this doesn't happen usually these things happen and and they're never recorded nobody ever sees them they're kind of the behind the scenes which is ok how many of you know you don't have to be on a platform for miracles to happen it doesn't have to always be on your Twitter feed and your Facebook post every time you do something for the kingdom of God okay but sometimes as it happens these things are captured and it just so happens that a friend of mine had sent a video crew how many of you know Darren Wilson and they're recording another film finger of God too which is coming out in a few months and they said hey can we send some video guys with you and just follow you around and just record whatever happens and I said sure why not and those guys were sitting there behind me in the in the hut and when the deputy said you can pray for the King I turned to him and I said you're gonna want to record this he said don't worry I am and so I approached the king I said King may I pray for you in the name of Jesus and he agreed so I prayed for him and I took his hand and I said rise and walk in Jesus name and he stood up out of that chair and started walking up and down the steps the Muslim king healed in the name of Jesus and we hadn't even preached our first gospel message now I thought that as a result of this miracle the entire village would come I mean if your King gets healed don't you think you'd want to come to the crusade well that wasn't the case it actually backfired on us because word what got out and the Imams heard about it and they told their people don't go to the gospel crusade and I didn't realize this until the end some of the the local people told me this but the first three nights out of four I didn't see any Muslims there and you know when we do this in these Muslim regions very often we have learned we know what the Muslims look like we recognize them when they're in the crowd and they weren't there the first night and they weren't there the second night and they weren't there the third night and I'll tell you what I love preaching to Christian people like you are but I have to tell you something I'm an evangelist and if you want to make an evangelist miserable then you force him to preach to people that are already saved and I was a little bit miserable by the third night because I wanted to see those Muslims Jesus came to seek and to save those that are lost it was the fourth night I thought surely tonight calm but once again I did so now the meeting was over I had prayed for people to receive salvation and then in between the prayer of salvation and prayer for the sick I take a little break we have a little container there that's our our little green room and I go back there and have a cup of tea because it's all British people that work back there so they don't have coffee they have tea and so nobody's perfect I went back there I'm drinking my cup of tea and in walks Peter Vandenberg now Peters Ilan they introduced me tonight he's been riding our banquise right-hand man for 37 years or something like that and and peter is the one who is responsible for the crowd counts and so he can explain you how he does that we have a very scientific way of measuring these massive massive crowds very very conservative estimates that we have but in order to do this peter has to walk the perimeter of the field and so he was doing that on this night and he had walked behind the platform on the left-hand side and when he came back in the container I saw tears in his eyes and I knew something was different because Peters not the kind of man that cries very often isn't that right Peter sometimes but it's usually just because I get something stupid but other than that he's not a weeping guy I said Peter what's wrong he said then I want to tell you what I saw he said I was walking around behind the stage on the left side and there was a spot there in the darkness away from the lights it was a dark area and I saw a huge crowd of people there and he said when I first saw the crowd I was upset because I thought why are these people standing in the dark why don't they come out of the darkness and go in front of the platform where they can see better and hear better and he said as I got closer I realized something I discovered the reason that all these people were standing in the darkness it was a crowd of all Muslims about 25,000 Muslims standing there in the darkness and so he said I decided I would just stay still and watch because it was coming close to the end of the service and you were about to give the invitation for those that want to be born-again and received Jesus as their Savior and he said Daniel would you gave that invitation every single hand went up all 25,000 if those Muslims had lifted their hands and they said when you pray they prayed with you Jesus is saving the Muslims wholesale and I know listen in the Western world it's there's a big debate about immigration and and concerns over that and I understand all of the different ramifications but I have this sense in my spirit what if just what if this is part of a Holy Spirit strategy to bring the Muslim world to us and they're gonna get saved and filled with the Holy Ghost and we're gonna go back into their Nations and win the Muslim world for Jesus hallelujah we have to change our way of thinking Islam is no match for the gospel of Jesus Christ it's no match I want to share it this last story with you before I preach and this is where I'm going to show you the video but I have to give you a little bit of background okay this testimony happened in Ghana it was in the capital city of Accra are there any gun ants here we love Ghana where where are you from say it again Cara this is this is where the crusade happened and we were holding our crusade in a place called Independence Square you know Independence Square every Ghanaian knows Independence Square it's a big place where they hold political rallies and and where they have presidential inaugurations it would be like for Americans it would be like the mall in Washington DC a famous famous place that everyone would know and that's where our crusade was now there was a man that stumbled unto our crusade field by accident and his name was Muhammad and you might be able to guess by his name that he didn't come from a Christian background he was a Muslim man and not only that he had no intentions of winding up in the gospel crusade that night he had actually come to a crawl from another city to visit his brothers and when it was time for him to go home he missed his train and so he was stranded he had to wait for the next train and he decided to go see some of the local sights and so he came to Independence Square and when he arrived there was a huge crowd I was preaching at that point but you see Muhammad didn't know what was happening because he had another problem Mohammed was death and so he didn't know that I was preaching about Jesus the Savior the healer the deliverer he decided he would lie down on the ground and go to sleep so he was taking a nap on the crusade field isn't this like something right out of the book of Acts he's lying down on the ground taking a nap couldn't hear anything and suddenly he said he was awakened by an explosion of sound in his ears he came to the platform he stood in front of me literally shaking you're gonna see it in just a minute literally shaking and you are about to watch a Muslim man step out of the darkness into the light right before your eyes you're gonna watch a man have the supernatural revelation like Peter had when he told Jesus you're the Christ the Son of the Living God and Jesus said blessed are you for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but my father that is in heaven can I tell you there is nothing more supernatural than a man or woman that is born again into the family of God literally passing from death unto life it is the ultimate miracle and you know in this when this miracle happened that very night you'll be able to tell by the way I look that it's a couple years back no that's not my little brother in those videos that's me but I've been doing this for a while and so I posted the video of the raw video just the the center camera just raw unedited video put it online and it went viral immediately millions of people saw it and I had comments coming back and you know Christians can be some of the nastiest people around anybody who's been in church for a while can say amen to that one and and you'll see in the video that Mohammed he's trying to figure this thing out and he's still talking about the Quran and how Jesus connects to the Quran and and Christians were commenting on the video saying see he's not really a Christian he's still talking about the Quran I I usually don't respond to things on Facebook but this time I couldn't resist I had to respond I said give the man a second he's getting saved right in front of your eyes how patient has God been with some of us he's waited and been patient with us for thirty years and we can't give up or Muslim guy 30 seconds but over the course of this video you're gonna watch and have the full revelation of who Jesus is and by the end he looks in that camera and he gives his full first and last name he gave the city and the village that he came from how many of you know that was a very risky move we cut that the most important information out of the video for his protection but he gave all of his personal information on live television broadcasting all across the country and he said this is my name if anybody knows my wife take her the message Jesus is the son of gods and tell her that I am healed do you want to see come on let's roll that video [Applause] my father my mother you all are Muslim I was born on smoothly [Music] I know at this moment I'm sitting down here anybody who know me would know that after today and yesterday in my life has changed a lot of things yesterday

much to say Jesus Jesus said and then I know that even the Koran tell me that if you are Muslim and you do not believe in Jesus Christ you are not a movement you are not Muslim [Applause] by 10:00

preaching in the street when he will know the truth the truth mass soldier set you free isn't that awesome come on give a praise Jesus Lola the entire Muslim world meets you the way that Mohammed met you with signs and wonders and miracles with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the power of the gospel in Jesus name and everybody said I tell you what if you can watch a clip like that and your heart doesn't burn something's busted need to call the plumber every time I play that video people come up to me afterwards and they ask me how they can get it it's available out there in this DVD called miracles this DVD has 12 of the most amazing miracles that I've seen over the last several years it is absolutely worth that you'll want to get a copy of that Mohammed story is just one of those stories there's also a story on there of three deaf three blind children they were siblings and they were all healed from blindness in the same moment an amazing story you'll watch on that video right on the platform blind eyes open deaf ears open on the platform in front of hundreds of thousands of people you'll you'll watch some of my the moments that I was sweating because in one of the testimonies it was it was a woman that had come forward and she said that she was blind and so we brought up to tell her testimony and when I was interviewing her I discovered that she was blind in both eyes but only one hadn't been opened and so now we're standing there in front of three or four hundred thousand people and and we I decided to pray for her right there and nothing happened people say to me all the time what happens if I pray for someone and they don't get healed well you know what the answer to that question is it's very complex and Theological you pray again and so I prayed again and nothing happened so what do you do you pray again and finally the third time our blind eyes open right there on the platform in front of hundreds of thousands what an amazing amazing miracle we've seen people raised from the dead we've seen a man that was dead for three days and embalmed and Jesus brought him back to life again that's what God is doing we are living in the greatest days I'm trying to get you to understand these are the days some of you are waiting for some great move coming in the future it's here get on board get on the train amen if you have your Bibles turn with me to the book of Exodus chapter 34 I have so many things I'd love to share with you testimonies and stories and but I really feel like the Lord has put something on my heart to share you I have to apologize right upfront I thought that I was preaching on Saturday and it turned out that I was preaching tonight if I had known that yesterday I wouldn't have shouted so much in the prayer line because I absolutely stripped a gear doing that but how many of you enjoyed that last night I tell you it was wild in there it was wild and it's gonna be wild tonight and the speakers are gonna help us we're gonna come and we're gonna go down those lines again and if you didn't get prayed for last night we're gonna give you instructions we're gonna pray for a thousand more people tonight and it's gonna be Holy Ghost chaos just the way we like it in Jesus name Exodus chapter 34 I'm gonna read several verses to you I'm gonna read verses 29 through 35 and before I read I just want to preface it by saying this a couple of months ago I felt the Holy Spirit lay this on my heart to talk about tonight I don't know how it's gonna come out I'm praying that the Lord helps me to articulate what I feel burning in my heart in a way that will set your heart on fire as well I don't want it to offend you but I'm not going to pull punches sometimes in a conference like this when there's many speakers back to back there can be this sort of fleshly pressure to just preach good and try to keep up especially when you're like me and you're the underdog and everybody else is like these great legends but I've decided in my heart not to even try I've decided I'm just gonna stand here and deliver what's burning in my heart and if you like it fine if you don't tough because I believe it's the truth and I believe that it's a message that needs to be heard in this generation and it really is the underlying thrust of this entire conference I didn't know that John Kilpatrick was gonna preach about the glory of God until two days before the conference started and he called me he said Daniel I feel like the Lord has put on my heart to preach about the glory is that okay imagine John Kilpatrick asking me if it's okay that he preaches on the glory I said I said John it's more than okay it is amazing that's exactly what I feel the Lord is doing and I've heard that so far from each speaker the same theme sometimes in with different words sometimes with a little bit different to him but I sense the same thrust coming out of all of these sessions and I sense the Holy Spirit is speaking and so when you hear his voice harden not your heart because we are standing on the precipice of a great moment in history and in order to enter into it our hearts have to be possession positioned correctly and that's what this is about so I'm gonna read here Exodus chapter 34 if you have a Bible read along with me and it says verse 29 and it came to pass when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in his hands when he came down from the mount that he that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him can you imagine experiencing the glory of God to such a degree that the literal skin of your face begins to glow I pray that begins to happen to some of you here tonight and when Aaron all the children of Israel saw Moses behold the skin of his face was shining and they were afraid to come near to him and Moses called unto them and Aaron and all of the rulers of the congregation returned unto him and Moses talked with them and afterward all the children of Israel came near and he gave them the commandment all that the Lord has spoken with him on mount sinai and until Moses had finished speaking with them he put a veil on his face again so you see the pattern when he comes out to talk with them he puts a veil over his face and then he goes in to speak with God he takes the veil away and then when he comes out to speak with them again he puts the veil over his face again says but when Moses went back in before the Lord verse 34 to speak with him he took the veil off until he came out and he came out and spoke to the children of Israel that when she was commanded and the children of Israel saw the face of Moses that the skin of his face was shining and Moses put the veil upon his face again until he went in to speak with him father I pray tonight that by your Holy Spirit you would do something in this room and I know this is a big request but I'm asking you to do something of eternal consequence I'm asking you that right here from this place where we've said let your glory fall in this place let it go from here to the nation's but we believe that a shift can happen in this room right now that can affect history can affect the destiny of Nations it can impact Canada and the United States and Mexico and Australia in the United Kingdom and Germany and Europe and Asia and South America lore we believe that you can do it and I ask you to have your way in this place Lord I surrender my agenda we all surrender our agendas come and have your way in Jesus name you know several years ago I was in India for a gospel crusade very much like the ones that you saw on the video earlier and you know at some of these third-world countries this opening time the starting time of a meeting is really more of a suggestion and they're in India in this particular place I think we'd advertised the meeting that it would start at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and I finally started preaching at like 9:30 at night so it gives you an idea of kind of how it works there and so I finished preaching it was now quite late it was probably about midnight by the time we got finished with all of the preaching and praying for the sick and all these things and I was hungry and so I said to the team let's go find a little Indian restaurant where we can get some food and they said but but everything's closed it's late and I said well let's just see what we can find it so we drove through the town and finally we saw this little restaurant a small place the lights were still on and sure enough they were still open so we came in we're the only ones in the restaurant they sat us down and the the very polite Indian waiter server came to our tables he gave us all of our all our menus and when I opened up the menu to my great horror there were no pictures and everything was in some strange Indian dialect that I that I couldn't read I'd never even seen these letters before had no hope even Google Translate couldn't help me in that moment and so I was pondering how I should handle this situation I was very hungry but I was also feeling a little bit adventurous how many of you know you need to be a little bit adventurous to be a missionary evangelist and to go to these places it's and and I have that and sometimes my adventurous side outweighs my wisdom side in fact that happens more than I'd like to admit and this was one of those scenarios this is what I decided somewhere in in my cockamamie way of thinking I I said what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna close my eyes and I'm gonna point to the menu and whatever my finger lands on that's what I'm gonna eat and I hope no matter what it turns out to be and listen I watched Indiana Jones of the Temple of Doom I knew this could be eyeballs I knew it could be live snakes wiggling out of another snake or something I didn't know but I said I'm gonna eat it no matter what it is in Jesus name I read about that sheet that came down from heaven I said it's all clean and so the weight waiter said to me sir what would you like I close my eyes I pointed he looked he said sir I'm very sorry we don't have any of that today I said that's okay I didn't know what it was anyways I said I'll just pick something else and so I pointed to the other side of the menu he looked he said I'm sorry we don't have any of that today either and by now my stomach is really beginning to growl and I'm beginning to think this is a bad strategy it could go on for a long time so I said I need a new approach and so I decided to change the question I said sir tell me what is the very best meal in the restaurant and his eyes lit up he smiled from ear to ear he said Oh sir we have a wonderful meal here he said this meal is so wonderful that people will drive from neighboring cities to come to this village to eat in this restaurant because they want to try this dish it is so wonderful it is the most delicious thing you would ever taste you would love it so much and he really was pouring it on and I was getting a little bit excited I thought this is gonna be good I said sir please bring me this wonderful meal that you've told me about you know what he said I'm very sorry sir we don't have any of that today and that day my friends I learned a very important lesson and I want you to listen very closely because this lesson will change your life if you get a hold of it and the lesson is this you cannot give what you do not have I said you cannot give what you do not have everybody said it with me you cannot give what you do not have come on look at your neighbor and say neighbor you cannot give what you do not have and how many of you know that's why we are here this week we haven't come here just to listen to sermons we've come here to receive something that we will be able to give from this day forward in the mighty name of Jesus say Amen do you mind if I take this jacket off thank you sir I learned this trick in Africa as long as I start by wearing a jacket I can take it off later and no one will hold it against me I want you to consider for just a moment the significance of Jesus sending his disciples to the upper room after he ascended before sending them out to the nations I want you to think about this for a moment this is something that all of you know very well but don't let its familiarity steal from you its significance these men had been with Jesus for over three years they'd heard all of his sermons firsthand they didn't read about them in a book they wrote the book that you read about them in they saw his miracles with their own eyes they knew all of his parables by heart they were the most educated Christians that had ever lived if I can say it that way if they were alive today I think they would receive honorary PhDs from every Christian University brother or not you think the school here would give the Apostle Peter an honorary Doctorate yes I think so they would receive honorary ministerial credentials from every denomination even the non-charismatic ones I think they let Paul in even though he speaks in tongues more than any of them they were the most qualified Christians that had ever lived and yet Jesus looked at these men the most qualified of all and this is what he said to them you're not ready yet you're missing something you see Jesus knew that if he sent them out at that moment the way that they were they would only be able to give to others what they had received themselves and they would be able to give sermons they could give the best sermons they learned from Jesus he was their mentor they could tell stories they could use parables but he knew that none of those things would change the world and he knew that they would only be able to give what they had themselves received and that's why he said go to Jerusalem and wait until you receive the promise of the Father because when the Holy Spirit comes upon you you we'll receive power in Jesus a power now you know there's big debate in the Pentecostal charismatic world about what is the evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit I know I'm waiting in the deep waters here some of you just need to tuck your toes up under your seat I was raised in the Assemblies of God but I want you to know something the Bible never says that the evidence of the Holy of the baptism the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues I believe that you can speak in tongues if you fill with the Holy Spirit but the evidence I said the evidence according to Jesus is that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you you will receive power if you don't have power I don't care if you speak in tongues all day long power is what we need power is what will change the world and that's why Jesus sent His apostles to that upper room to receive power because he knew that's what the world needed go to Jerusalem and wait now you know here in this conference there has been many wonderful moments of nostalgia hasn't there and and I I don't want to undermine that because it is good for us to remember the wonderful things that God has done in fact I've discovered that many times when we begin to talk about what God is doing he does it again it's almost like the testimony of what happened in the past becomes a prophecy of what's about to happen in the moment it's amazing I was I was reading some stories from the the great awakening area era and one of the circuit riders by the name of Peter Cartwright was going going around doing these meetings and they said what would happen was the way that the revival was spreading is that people would hear about what was happening another in another city and they would begin to tell the stories of what was happening and it would start to happen wherever they were just just literally telling the stories cause it to happen again and it's wonderful the heritage that we have and I come from a very wonderful heritage I want to share that with you moment I am a fifth-generation Pentecostal preacher's kid my father is a pastor Steele is today my grandfather was a pastor my great-grandfather five generations on my father's side my mother's father was also a pastor my wife's father is also a pastor so I have been thoroughly pasteurized and our family tradition which by the way there's a bunch of my family members here tonight it's good to see the Kalinda's and all of their tributaries that spin off from there here tonight but we are our family the the experience of the Holy Spirit literally goes back to the Azusa Street generation five generations my great-grandmother and I it's actually great-great grandmother but I it's too many great so I just saved one great she was filled with the Holy Spirit in the back seat of Amy's simple Macpherson's car it's an amazing story she had been to one of the meetings and Amy had been praying for people and she hadn't received as she was very depressed and she walked outside and it was one of those days where everything's going wrong and then it just gets worse you ever had a day like that so she's so disappointed she feels like she's a nothing and nobody she walks outside and it starts raining can this day get any worse and suddenly a car pulls up and the door opens and the driver says get inside and she climbs in the car and it's Amy and Amy says sister why do you look so sad she said I want gift of the Holy Spirit Amy said receive she began to speak with other tongues for three days she could speaking not know language but tongues my great-grandfather he was he was in the meeting too and he was a Lutheran pastor my family on that side they're Baptists and Lutheran's and he was a Lutheran German from the old country you know very stubborn very cerebral very analytical and he was in that meeting he had never seen anything like that happening before and when Amy was was praying for people they were falling on the ground and that kind of freaked him out like some of you were probably freaked out last night and so you know what he did this is just typical he he turned around and he knelt at the chair and he put one elbow in one corner of the chair and the other elbow in the other corner of the chair and he said God if you're gonna knock me down the chair has to go with me and he woke up a few hours later with the chair leg next to him on the ground how many of you know the Holy Spirit is more stubborn than you are he can outlast you if you think you're gonna if you think you're gonna be stubborn and outlast him he's got all of eternity you might as well give up and yield because he's gonna keep coming after you in Jesus name another my great-great-grandpa his name was Paul when he was born he was born with a terrible mental illness in fact they said that even from the moment that he was born they could tell they had severe mental retardation they said the very look in his eyes was wrong they could tell my the way his eyes were pointed and I know this sounds funny but it's it's how they described him they said his head looked like an egg that was turned on the side that's how he was born and he was very weak and the doctors told his parents they said he this boy can never live to be an adult he's far too weak and he's far too handicapped and they said even if by some miracle he does survive his childhood he'll never be normal he'll never be able to bathe himself he'll never be able to speak normally he'll always need a caretaker through his whole life and that two years old he caught a deadly case of typhoid fever and the doctor said there's no way he can survive this he's too weak but they comforted his mother like this they said don't even cry about this they said this is a blessing for you they said this boy would always be a burden to you let him die don't even pray for him to be healed this is God's answer to prayer for you the days went on he grew more and more weak and finally they said that his breathing became very very shallow so shallow in fact that he couldn't even cry anymore his bowel stopped moving and they realized it was the day that he was going to die and so they called some friends and family members to come gather around the bedside I read my great-grandfather's handwritten account of this he described it like this he said that they were they were singing they were good Christians they were singing and they were encouraging one another and they were weeping and they were saying things like the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away blessed be the name of the Lord and he said it's true those words are true but he said something inside of me couldn't accept it that way I'm talking about the father of that little boy that is my great-grandfather he couldn't accept the death of that boy and so he went into his bedroom and he shut the door before he went he told his wife I'm not coming out of my room until I hear from heaven he shut the door and he God and his knees and he began to pray and after a few minutes there was a knock on the door he opened it and his wife was standing there she was crying she said ludovic that was his name she said Paul has died and those were the days where you buried bodies very quickly she said we're gonna begin right away preparing his body for burial well you will you come out will you help us and he looked at his wife and he said sweetheart I'll come out of this room but only after I hear from heaven and he shut the door again and he got back down on his knees I'm talking about the old time Pentecostals not the Pentecostals that that get discouraged every time a demon throws a little tiny dart their way I'm talking about the kind of Pentecostals that knew how to pray through they knew how to intercede they knew how to fast they knew how they knew how to grab a limb prayer with these things he shut his door to begin to pray he prayed for hours and while he was praying in that room Paul's body in the other room got cold and hard imagine the more you pray the colder and harder the body gets finally after several hours there was another knock on the door this time he opened the door and it was his mother her eyes had been swollen for crying her cheek staying with tears she said Lord Vick she said you have to come out of the room now she said Paul is dead but we are still alive we need you come and be with us and he said mama I will come out of this room but only after I hear from heaven and he shut the door and they got back down on his knees meanwhile in the other room they're wrapping the body and here comes Ludwig after a few minutes he bursts into the room and he said I've heard from heaven he goes to the bottom of the bed where that body was laying and he puts his hand on little Paul's head and he begins to pray and the grandmother who was wrapping the feet in cloth screamed she said his feet are warm family members gather around the body that begin to massage the body and they said that the boar went from the feet and to the ankles and up into the knees and into the waist and into the chest and down the arms and suddenly that little boy opened his eyes sat up in the bed and this is what he said mama I'm hungry [Music] well I mean if it wasn't enough of a miracle that this dead cold body was raised back to life again it gets even better when he came back to life his head was normal his face was normal his countenance was normal his mind was strong for the first time they looked into the eyes of a normal little boy and that little child that they said would never live to see adulthood became a man and he had ten sons how many of you know you've been healed when you have ten boys and those boys became preachers of the gospel and they had children that became the pre preachers of the gospel and their children's children became preachers of the gospel and I'm one of those children hallelujah what a mighty God we serve when people try to tell me that miracles don't happen it's like telling me a joke I this is how I see it I've seen people raise from the dead in my own life but I see it this way I was raised from the dead because you see when that little boy died I died with him that was my grandfather he died at 2 years old if that miracle hadn't happened I wouldn't be standing here talking to you right now when he raised from the dead I raised from the dead with him you raised from the dead with him when he rose from the dead we receive life and I tell I tell the people in Africa I say have you've been washed in the blood of Jesus you have a story just like mine because when Jesus was hanging on the cross we were all hanging there with him when he bowed his head and died we all died with him when they put him in that tomb we were all in that tomb with him because Paul said if Jesus had not been raised that your faith is in vain and you're still in your sins go in that tomb open up and Jesus came out we all came out with him we all raised up with him our lives our futures our hope our destiny rose with him that day say Amen now why am I telling you all these stories I could tell you many stories many more I could tell you stories you wouldn't believe I could tell your stories about Brownsville I could tell you stories about Toronto I could keep you here all night telling you stories why am I doing this for one reason I want you to understand something nobody honors their heritage more than I do nobody honors the past more than I do nobody honors what God did in days gone by more than I do but I'm going to tell you something if all we pass to the next generation is stories and testimonies that we have robbed them of something far greater and that is the actual experience of the glory of God in their own lives they need more than stories they need more than songs they need more than testimonies they need a face to face living reality encounter with the presence of God for themselves that is what this generation needs and those of us that have had the great experiences maybe we could just get on our knees instead of reminiscing about the old days and say God do it again do it for another generation do it for another world that still needs your touch that still needs your glory that still needs your pour today can you imagine being in the presence of God just such a degree that the skin of your face begins to shine you come down off of that mountain and the people look at you and they say veil your face now you know being raised in church I had heard all of these stories these old stories like Moses with the veiled face ever since I was a little boy and this is what I was taught by my Sunday School teachers she said the reason that Moses had to veil his face is because it was so bright that when the children of Israel looked at him they were blinded and I that never really made sense to me because I thought a glowing face I can get that but like was he illuminated like the select a noonday Sun or something just couldn't imagine that and if if he were how would have a li even helped and then I grew I grew up you know and I began to read the Bible for myself and I found this amazing passage I want you to see this because the Apostle Paul in 2nd Corinthians chapter 13 gives us a different insight a very fascinating insight on what was happening with Moses in that veil and this is what he says 2nd Corinthians chapter 3 verse 13 nor do we act like Moses who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze upon the vanish of the splendor which had been upon it let me read this version we're not like Moses who used to put a veil over his face so the Israelites were not gazed at the of the glory which was fading away and I thought ah now that makes sense a face shining like the Sun I can't understand that but covering up faded glory I get that because that there's nothing actually in human nature that's more natural than covering up faded glory we do it all the time we do it all the time ladies I don't want to offend you but I've noticed something it's an amazing phenomenon every year the coat of paint gets a little bit thicker just a little bit thicker there's no shame in it you know if my grandpa used to say if the barn needs paint painting it's okay and look man we don't get off the hook so easily either we go to the GNC or the drug store whatever we look at all those bottles all those pills all those potions and they they promise that they're gonna turn the clock back twenty years and they're gonna restore vitality they're gonna make your hair grow back and they're gonna take away all those funny little wrinkles and bumps and and you buy these supplements and you buy these vitamins and most of the time all the only thing they do is give you very expensive urine but we all do this we all try to hide to Veil fading glory whenever we realize that something is being lost whatever we realize that something is departing we don't want people to see our fading glory and this this is what was happening with Moses Paul is talking here about the fact that the reason Moses veiled his face is because as the glory was was vanishing it would begin to wane from time to time he would cover it up until he had a chance to go in and speak with with God and when he was there with God there would be like a recharge then he could come out again and then when it would begin to fade he'd cover it up again until he could go speak with God and this is human nature but it is not kingdom nature we're about to we're about to talk about that in a moment but you see whenever glory is beginning to fade you have to make a choice at that moment you can do one of two things you can either fall on your face and you can begin to cry out to God and you can say God I will not be content to live without your glory or you can put a veil over it and let the world be none the wiser you know there's tradition about the way that it used to work in the in the temple and the tabernacle in the old days you know of course there was the holy place and then inside the holy place there was the Holy of Holies you remember that and remember the Holy of Holies was guarded by a veil remember this you guys know what I'm talking about okay some of you looking at me like I'm an alien okay the Holy of Holies was covered by a veil and inside the Holy of Holies this was the centerpiece of the whole nation and of the whole religion everything that was happening in that temple complex and in the tabernacle revolved around the Holy of Holies where the manifest Shekinah glory of God was literally physically dwelling with his people between the wings of the cherubim over the Ark of the Covenant this is what made Israel different from every other nation this is what made the religion not just another religion it was actually the seat of the king of kings and the Lord of glory right there in the middle of the camp and then every year tradition says that the high priest would go to offer the sacrifice only one man could go and that one man could only go one time of year and before he could go behind the veil here maybe he would have to go through a whole battery of purifications and rituals to make sure that he was he was just right there could be no impurity there could be nothing out of order not a spot not a wrinkle he had to wear a very special outfit he had it ephod and he had a breastplate and he had all this this special regalia there was a great deal of pageantry that went on around this and right before he went in to the Holy of Holies tradition says that he would tie these little bells on the fringes of his garment and they would put a cord around his foot because if he were to enter into the Holy of Holies with anything in his life that it was unclean he would be struck dead and if they heard the bells stop ringing they couldn't enter the Holy of Holies to retrieve him they could only pull him out by the cord attached to his foot this was the way that Israel saw the importance of the glory of God dwelling right there in the middle but you know when Jesus died on the cross the Bible says that that veil was split from top to bottom and I don't know if you've read the New Testament but I don't read about anybody's face being melted off when that happened seems that by that time something had changed and we know that even before that 63 BC we have records of Pompeii the Roman general that he he went into to Rome and he heard stories about the Holy of Holies and he wanted to see for himself what was in that room and so we have his record that he pulled back the veil and he went inside and he said the room was an empty room there was no glory there was no Ark it was just an empty room and you say well Daniel how long had the glory of God been missing how long had the Ark of the Covenant been gone how long had the Shekinah glory of God not been dwelling in the midst of the nation was it ten years was it 20 years was it a hundred years less and I don't know exactly how long it was but I know one thing that even though there was no glory behind the veil outside in the temple this show went on a pageantry continued the sacrifices continued the priests went through their rituals they went through all of their formalities and when that time came once a year here would come to high priest and they put off his little funny hat on and they put his find the outfit on and they put the bells on this garment and the rope around his foot and he'd go for all the rituals knowing there was nothing behind the veil but as long as the people on the outside didn't know the show could continue the institution could go on all of the pageantry could be unabated but there was no glory behind the veil my friend let me tell you what I think has happened to much of the Church of Jesus Christ throughout the world today I have the privilege of speaking in some of the greatest churches and being in some of the most you know amazing works that are being built all over the world but I want you to know something one thing that I see is missing is the glory of God the glory of God and I love great music I love great sound systems I love the lights I love the smoke I love the presentation and I love I love the production but we have to ask ourselves how much of that is just a veil to hide an emptiness on the other side that we don't want to face that we don't want to admit to how much of it if it was taken away from us if all of the Shah was taken away and the lights and the nice building what would be left would there be any glory behind the veil or would it just be an empty room would it be empty lives would it be empty Christians with empty hearts and empty souls longing for the presence of God I live in Orlando we tried something I began to realize that many of our conferences there would be these moments where the Holy Spirit just began to move in a very spontaneous a supernatural way and when he when it would come like that it was like heaven has just kissed the earth and I thought and I said many times what if instead of that being the side dish what if that became the main course and I said that so many times what if we just came together with no plan and no agenda we just let God do whatever he wants to do what would happen if we tried that the final thing I got tired of talking about it and I said let's just try this will rent a a little venue in in Orlando and we won't really advertise it will tell a few friends and you know by word-of-mouth and we'll get together just a few of us together and and we won't we won't have any plan we won't have any agenda we'll just come together and see what God will do and I would have been a base of 200 people showed up the venue sat about a thousand people I called before we drove over there I said is there anybody in the building they said is there anybody in the building they said the building is overflowing with people they they said they're lined up down the sidewalk around the block they can't even get in the building when I drove up I could see the lines still wrapped around the building over a thousand people that couldn't even get inside don't ask me how they got there don't ask me how they found out about it they came because they heard that somebody was gonna let God do what God does and in the first 45 minutes Roy Roy was there to lead the worship I think Roy played one chord for 45 minutes and the place was so packed people couldn't even sit in the seats they stood for over three hours weeping and crying and worshiping and praising God and I stood up finally when we when it was time to say something and I said let every pastor in Orlando take note of this this is what your people want they want the glory of God they want the presence of God I just have this feeling that the entire church world is longing and groaning for something real pepperoni for the veil to be taken away for the presence of God to return for the main scene to be the main thing once again [Applause] you know the wording Chabad I heard John Kilpatrick say this the word ichabod means the glory has departed it does not mean the choir has departed doesn't mean the offerings have departed it doesn't mean the great preaching it has departed you know there's a lot of things that you can do without the glory of God jesus said without me you can do nothing but I want you to listen to that he didn't say without me you can't do anything that would be a very different claim what he said was without me you can do nothing you see there are a lot of things we can do without him we can build churches without him we could have worship services without him we can have religion without him we can live our lives without him we can raise our families without them we can do ministry and go to the nation's without it but without him everything that we do amounts to nothing without me you can do a lot of nothing one moment is presence can do more than twenty years of therapy twenty years of preaching twenty years of conferences twenty years of church we need its glory we need his presence we need his power again and I believe that God is looking for men like Moses that will say like John Kilpatrick preached on Wednesday I won't go on without you no I know I could I know I could go on I know a lot of things you know I've discovered and this is the honest truth but the most difficult places for me to go in the world are the Pentecostal churches because we know so much and I'm putting charismatic sin that group - we know it all we wrote the book on the Holy Spirit I think we think the Holy Spirit reads our books to figure out how he's supposed to move in our midst we have a whole prescription for somebody told me I decided to let God out of the box I said I have news for you God was never in your stupid box the only one in your box is you come on out of the box it's good out here freedom is wonderful if the Sun is set you free you will be free and he but you know the amazing thing with Moses I have to hurry Moses the Lord had just spoken to Moses and the Lord said I will go with you and the very next thing Moses said is Lord if your presence doesn't go with us don't send us up from here God had just said Moses I'm going with you and Moses said God if you don't go don't send me and you know some of us we get upset with Moses in theology we'd say Moses why do you have to - ask God to be with you when he already told you that he was going to be with you why don't you just accept it you know maybe Moses theology had to be worked out a little bit I'm sure it was over the years but there was something about that prayer that God loved God loved that heart that said I'm not willing to go on I to do this in my own strength I don't want to do this in my own wisdom I don't want to go out from this place he said what else will separate me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth we must have your presence and I believe so many times God is waiting to see if we'll go on without him sometimes even in a meeting I've noticed sometimes God will wait and see will you wait for me or will you just go ahead and do it in your own strength if I don't know and God loves that dependency that says Lord if you're not going to do it with me what I want you to Laurie how much your presence in our churches in our families pastors that are here how many of you have been on your face crying out saying God send your glory to my church send your glory to my city I don't want to do this without you I can do a lot of things without you but Lord we must have your glory I believe that God is looking for men like you Elijah you know the prophet Elijah just been taken away to heaven in a whirlwind he dropped his mantle overboard for his young Protege Elijah to catch him Elijah picked it up with eager enthusiasm because you see that man told was a sign of the authority that had been passed to him by his mentor Elijah it was it was an emblem it was a memento of that newly delegated authority that he had received it was a sign of his position it was a sign of his leadership but he wouldn't even make it down off the mountain before he made the discovery that in order to walk in Elijah's shoes he was going to need more than Elijah's office he was going to need more than a lie just title he was gonna need more than Elijah's mental because that Jordan River that was blocking his way was not gonna move for him just because he had a new position that's why the Bible says that he stood there on the banks of the Jordan River with that mental in his hand and he lifted it up and he cried where is the Lord the God of Elijah he was not satisfied with Elijah's mantle one that Elijah's God my friend we have to come to a point where we're no longer content with the things that have handed down to us by men we're not content with titles and positions and degrees were not content with endorsements and heritage and pedigree and inheritance and the praise of man and the honour of man and authority and offices and positions you know being the beneficiary of another generations experience with God is a wonderful thing but if it satisfies us we have been robbed of something even better and that is the experience of God for ourselves how many denominations that were born and fire have turned to ice because the leaders of the not denomination caught the mantle of the founders but they didn't know the God of the founders we need more than the titles we need more than the names we need more than to talk about Azusa we need Azusa here right now we need another Pentecost in our midst and you have to understand something you have a choice to make God will always let you choose or not choose him Elijah could have been very happy with that mantle he could have warded the rest of his life that was a sign it was a badge showed to everybody that he was now the president of Elijah's Bible School of the prophets he could have been very well-off financially he could have just lived a comfortable quiet life with that mantel on his shoulders but if he hadn't found Elijah's God his exploits would not be biblical he never would have changed history he changed history not because he caught a mentor but because he found Elijah's God God's looking for a man like Moses he's looking for guys like Elijah he's looking for men Jacob you know Malachi chapter 1 verse 2 and 3 there's this amazing verse it says Jacob I've loved but he saw I've hated think of that this is God who is love this is what he says Jacob I've loved but Esau hated you know what amazes me sometimes to realize the things that God chooses and the things that God values so many of the things that are so important to us are so unimportant to him and some of the things that are so meaningless to us are so important to him Jacob was a trickster a deceiver as a planter all of his eyes even his very name meant that he was a deceiver and yet Jacob knew that there was something he was missing he knew there was something in his life that was incomplete and he wasn't content to live without it and you can see in his story as you read it his whole life is the pursuit of something that he can't quite get his hands on Esau his older brother was hungry for the gratifications of the lower life he had no use for the intangible ethereal spiritual things he despised his birthright for a bowl of soup at least that was something that he could taste and touch Jacob was different he was after a blessing he was after something that he couldn't see but he knew it was there but he was always grasping and it always seemed to evade his grasp he swindled Esau to the birthright but it wasn't what he was looking for he deceived his father for the blessing but still he wasn't satisfied he knew he needed more than family heritage as wonderful as that was he needed something else he was not content to live off the blessing of his father Isaac and his grandfather Abraham he had to get ahold of God for himself and so when the angel of the Lord appeared to him you know the story Bethel II grabbed ahold of him with all of his might and this is what he said I will not let you go until you bless me and you know sometimes when we read that verse I think we put the emphasis on the wrong word maybe we put the emphasis on I will not let you go or bless me but this is what I think he put the emphasis on it was on the word you he was saying I will not let you go unless you bless me and this is what he was saying I've had all of the other blessings I've had the blessing of Isaac I've had the blessing of Abraham I've had the blessing of Esau but none of those things will satisfy I have to have your blessing and that's why he received it that day sometimes my friends we wonder why God would choose a deceiver like Jacob over his older brother but we don't see the way that God sees them Jacob was a rich man he was a blast man he had acquired the birthright from Esau the inheritance from Isaac he could have been content as the sole beneficiary of all the blessings and promises that God had given to Isaac and Abraham he could have been very comfortable and lived a very blessed life but he was not satisfied with the blessings of Abraham and Isaac instead he had to get a hold of the God of Abraham and Isaac and because he got a hold of the God of Abraham and Isaac today we don't say that God is the God of Abraham and Isaac we say that he's the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob that's what made the difference and I think sometimes God waits deceive will be content to go on without him he waits to see we'll cry out like David Lord one day your presence is better than a thousand days elsewhere look back with me 2nd Corinthians chapter 3 verse 16 I think this is wonderful you know we talked a lot about John 3:16 this is sink 2nd Corinthians 3:16 and of course this passage is talking about the Jewish people and the salvation of Jewish people but the principle is universal and this is what it says nevertheless verse 16 when it shall turn to the Lord the veil shall be taken away now the Lord is that spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is come on where the Spirit of the Lord is there is but we all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are changed into that same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord listen my friends we are the church we are the eternal dwelling place of God we are the temple of the holy spirit we don't need a stupid veil over a faces anymore we've got nothing to hide the glory of God lives in us we have access to all of the riches in the storehouse of heaven when Jesus died he tore that veil from top to bottom that veil of separation between God and man between heaven and earth between his power and our need has been ripped apart forever and we can rock straight in to the Holy of Holies the glory of God is our eternal inheritance and it doesn't fade away with time like it did on the face of Moses we are in a new and better covenant and we go from glory to glory to glory to glory as we are transformed into the very image of Jesus by the Holy Spirit of God himself say Amen [Music] [Applause] remember in Acts chapter 3 and I'm closing with this action chapter 3 the disciples come down on in the upper room these men remember Jesus sent them there that's how I started Jesus told them don't leave until you've received power and they came down out of the upper room and they go to the temple and there they find a lame man sitting there and he's begging and the Bible says that he had been laid there his whole life every day he'd been laying there begging for alms and I'm sure that Peter and John had seen this lame man before and they were good religious men and they were probably very generous and I think Peter reached into his pocket to pull out a few shekels and all that was there was some lint you see he hadn't been out on his fishing boat in a while he had been up in the upper room praying and I think for a moment a little bit of disappointment came over him as he realized but today he didn't have bunny and he looked at that late man and he said I'm so sorry I don't have any silver and I don't have any gold but then suddenly he remembered something that on this day for the first time in history he had something that he had never had before and so he looked at that man and he said no I don't have any silver and I don't have any gold but I have something else and what I do have I will give to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise all over this nation on Sunday people are gonna walk into churches all around this nation and they've heard about Jesus the Savior the healer the deliverer the baptized are in the holy spirit and they're gonna walk into these churches and they're gonna ask for something that they need in their life and it's serious this is not a game the world is dying they don't need religion they need a savior and they're gonna walk into churches all over this nation and in the United States and all over the world and they're gonna say pastor I need a healing in my body and the pastor's gonna look at them like that Indian waiter looked at me and he's gonna say I'm very sorry we don't have any of that here we're all out of that in fact we've been out of that for about 2,000 years they're gonna say pastor I need to live rings from demons and from addiction he's gonna say I'm very sorry we don't have any of that but we do have a lovely choir that's gonna sing for you later we do have a wonderful sermon that's about to be preached pastor I need salvation from sin I mean my life to be changed I'm sorry we don't have any of that here but we have seen very educated counselors that we can recommend to you my friend let me tell you something we're taking that veil away because of the glory of God is in the church and let me tell you something this book this book is not a history book of all things that happened long ago
