Dutch Sheets - 'The Right Time' Aglow national conference - Friday Evening message

thank you it's always a joy to partner with this ministry feel like I'm in the room in a room filled with intercessors I'm especially excited when I come to this gathering because I feel like I'm talking to people that are going to do it they get it you get it and we're on a journey together we're on a journey a historical journey to shift the nations of the earth in the most incredible season of history and it's no small thing to be alive today in fact it's an amazing privilege and responsibility to be alive today I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you last year and I can't believe I get the opportunity to do it two years in a row but I'm grad and I was just rehearsing a couple of the ladies what I shared last year I felt like the Lord would allow me to build on it but I wasn't positive what I said I never write it down I never write down what I do anywhere because I feel like if the Lord leads me to do it again you need to hear it again but that's not the case here so but I can see the Lord is moving us progressively and I can't say enough about how much I believe this ministry can be one of the most strategic forces on the planet over the next season here I've said this two or three times over the last 15 20 years God is giving this organization this ministry this group of people the opportunity to do something that is very rare and that is to be an integral part of more than one move of Holy Spirit with the charismatic movement that Jesus people move it and I believe that's when you were born and this ministry was a very integral part a very strategic part of that outpouring but frankly most ministries that experienced that become to one degree or another an old wineskin and that I don't mean that as a criticism I just mean it's they can't carry their new wine they're still good people there's still people God loves and we love and they do good things for the Lord but they just can't fully carry the new wine but you can carry the new wine so I'm gonna I'm gonna begin tonight what I'm really gonna do is try to encapsulate what has been for me a journey now of 18 years and I I wrote about the first 13 years of this journey in the book appeal to heaven and honestly at that point in time in 2013 how many of you by the way have heard the message or read the book or know enough about that message to know what I'm talking about appeal to heaven what about the rest of you how are you gonna cooperate with God if you don't read my books I take back everything I said no I don't really but the Lord started me on the journey in 2000 and I thought it was finished in and we could and he was moving me into a new sort of message of course he always does that but what I actually feel is he's just moved me into another phase of the same journey and I realized now this journey will not be over until we are moving in the fullness of the Great Awakening that's coming and the great Reformation that's coming to the earth and so I'm just gonna review some things for some of you this will be review for others of you won't be review but just to get us all in the same page then I'll get to a very significant event that happened to me a month after last year's gather that I want to contextualise for us and I think it will help us see prophetically where we are because we are at the right time we are in a Kairos horray oz right time in history for harvest so in 2007 a young man was given a dream for me and this dream again is in detail talked about in the book appeal to heaven and in the book Giants will fall so you really want the details you get the books they're small books even the men can read them they're really small and Millennials I write small books now so Millennials and men will read them also but in this dream in 2007 I was a boxer and I boxed five Giants one giant per round for five rounds I knew he knew I knew this was a dream about the nation that these were spiritual giants that the body of Christ would be dealing with most of the time when there's a dream of this significance for me or that I'm in most of the time it's not just for me it's what I represent or who I represent it's the prayer movement it's the Apostolic prophetic prayer movement in the earth that's contending for this harvest that's coming so in the dream I was a boxer I boxed five Giants and I knocked out all five one per round for five rounds and I alternated fists so in round one a giant stepped in the ring I knocked him out round two another one stepped in the ring knocked him out round three four five five rounds five giants five punches alternating fists and it walked up to the young man in the dream and I said to him held up both hands and I said if we're gonna take out the Giants in this season we're gonna have to wear these two gloves not remember it wasn't hard to knock them out if you had the right glove it wasn't didn't take long and it wasn't difficult one punch if he had the right glove you have to wear these two gloves and once said Everlast and the other one said evergreen and I knew what I felt like at the time I knew whatever last represented because true to the Lord's the way he worked with me I had been meditating on a verse of scripture and studying it for months fascinated by just kept going back to this verse in Genesis 21 33 I'll read it to you it's the story of Abraham after he finished his 25 year journey of waiting for Isaac it's been a tough journey he said he's ups and downs and even though the New Testament says he didn't waver it was because of his unwavering faith that God could do it he did waver at times he just finished with unwavering faith so he had finished this journey and Isaac was now born and he's looking for a way to thank the Lord and he says in verse 33 of Genesis 21 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba everybody saved Beersheba and there he called on the name of the Lord the everlasting God or God everlasting olam el that had fascinated me because I wondered I'd been wondering why to Abraham the names that he already understood and used to reference God were not enough because he coined or created or released a new name of God here in this passage never been mentioned as this before along hola male and I wondered why why didn't he just call on Elohim why didn't he call on y'all way or else she died or Adonai what was what was happening in him that caused him to think no that's not that's not right that's not right and he comes up with a new name for God hola hola male everlasting God so I've been meditating on this and I knew what I knew that somehow this glove pointed to this name of God and the more I studied it more God began to reveal to me and what is happening here is that Abraham is celebrating along the eternal God the God outside of time.they God who created time but doesn't live in time the God who sees yesterday today and forever all at once the God who is greater than yesterday the God who is always now and the God who sees into the future with 1000 percent accuracy he's the God that can heal our past he can look back 20 30 40 years and erased sin he can reach back into the psyche into the heart and go back 20 30 40 years as it were and heal the heart and when God heals he doesn't or forgives he doesn't just cover he erases it so here's a man that has 25 years some of these years he struggled through he wavered in his faith and that's what caused him to enter into this relationship with Hagar and create Ishmael um unbelief Hope deferred he also compromised twice by telling Kings that Sarah was his sister just in case in her probably a few years younger when she was still a beautiful lady maybe she still was at ninety but beautiful and he was afraid that King might want to take Sarah as his wife so he said to her let's tell them you're my sister and they can have you for their harem so they won't kill me we don't like to talk about those events in Abraham's life it seems almost disrespectful but God told us about them there was a season where rather than being what he ultimately became the Covenant keeper he was a covenant breaker and before he became the man of ultimate integrity and character he was a liar he walked through some very difficult times but God and he's thinking about this God who sees the end from the beginning and he realizes that in the beginning 25 years ago God saw not who I was and the failures that I would at times be but he could see past that and he could see what he would make me and he was dependent not on what I could do but on what he could do in me and he realized that this man ultimately will not be the Covenant breaker he will be my covenant keeper he's not the man that I will have to say was the waiver I will say when all is said and done this was the man of great faith and in fact this was the father of faith in fact this I will one day pronounce this was my friend so Abraham is and he's 99 years old has just come through he's had Isaac has just been born and he's you know let's just say he's a hundred years old Sarah's ninety and he's he's thinking about all this and he realizes this God who is timeless reach back and dealt with my failures who looked ahead and saw my potential and navigated me through all of this greater than all my failures greater than my humaneness greater than my fears greater than my physical body somehow pulled Sarah and me up into this timeless realm that he lives in and gave us a renewing of our youth she became young again and I became young again and we had a child and the Lord spoke to me through this this is this kind of review I for some of you but I'm trying to get through this quickly that we might be here a long time tonight but the Lord said to me if you're going to take out the Giants in this season you're gonna have to believe that I am bigger than your failures you're going to have to believe that the blood of Jesus is able to cleanse even a nation from all sin and unrighteousness and you're going to have to trust that I can do what I said I would do in this nation for this nation through this nation to the nations of the world not because you deserve it not because you're good enough not because you've never made mistakes we have made abhorrent mistakes we have great sins on our conscience the shedding of innocent blood the covenants we broke with the native people the slavery issue there are many many things the rejecting of God the legislating him out of our government in our schools but God is saying to us you're gonna have to believe that I'm bigger than all of that and you're gonna have to believe that when I decreed the destiny of this nation I was not looking at your failures but I was looking at the end not who you were not who I know you would be at times but what I knew I could make you and if you can wear this glove you can move in enough faith to get your Isaac and you could knock out Giants I love this truth about God when he cleanses a man like David final the epitaph of David is not that this was the adulterous King this was the murderous King the God looked past it he said I'm not gonna hide it I'm not gonna sweep it under the rug I'm gonna cleanse it I'm gonna change him and what all said and done his epitaph will be the man after my heart so my faith is strong for America I didn't know what evergreen was for six more years I feared it had something to do with a tree I thought maybe it was Washington State but but I couldn't get the revelation and I don't have time to go into that tonight other than to say that it the evergreen tree represents eternal covenant the God who keeps covenant and mercy to a thousand generations and he will keep the Covenant the promises that he made to this nation and that our fathers our founders made to him that's why the evergreen tree is on the appeal to heaven flag because it represents eternal covenant it was not until six years that I realized all of that and made the connection to Genesis 21 33 where Abraham called on everlasting God he also planted a tree I knew he planted a tree I'd read the verse hundreds of times I just didn't know a tamarisk tree was an evergreen tree so ever ham more both gloves God gives me a dream that pictures how we're going to overcome Giants gives us two revelations he says you're gonna have to wear and then ultimately he shows me that you'll find the revelation in one verse with father Abraham who planted an evergreen tree because at the end of this 25 years he's decreeing he was faithful to me and now I will be faithful to keep covenant with him it evergreen a tamarisk tree grows slowly but it lives a long time and the roots grow very deep and one lexicon studied the tamra's tree dictionary and said that no one ever plants at amherst tree for his or her self because they know it grows so slowly they will never personally enjoy the fruit of that tree the shade that it brings only the future generations will and then when Abraham planted the tamarisk tree the evergreen tree he was saying to his children and his grandchildren and his grandchildren grandchildren you will sit under the shade of my covenant with God and I realized that's exactly what he's saying to America in spite of the failures in spite of the sin God is going to cleanse this nation with a third Great Awakening God is going to send the greatest revival we've ever seen or ever experienced we're going to return to covenant God's going to keep covenant and mercy and we are going to sit under the shade of former covenants now that's a long introduction because at the beginning of the last year I heard the Lord say to me I want you to go to Beersheba I turn to Genesis 21 33 where Abraham announced the gloves he said no I don't want you to go to Genesis 21 33 I don't want you to go to Beersheba in the Bible I want you to go to Beersheba it's time to begin taking out the Giants and I'm gonna I have an impartation for you there want you to go where Abraham stood at the well the well which means the well of covenant I want you to go there have an impartation for you because it's time to start taking out the giant so I looked at my calendar I talked to chuck Pierce he'll be here in the morning I guess right he said let's go together Chuck he always likes to follow me around he's one of my groupies and you go to Beersheba and whatever have your time with God there and then come back to Jerusalem we'll do some services there he and I'd been talking about for several years that we knew we were there would be an assignment for us together at some point there in Israel in Jerusalem so we decided this was it so I looked at my calendar he looked at his calendar we settled on October 31st almost a year exactly what is today second so we're within a week of being a year ago I didn't realize it was significant I just found a window I realized later that I'll knocked over 31st when the Lord had me there Beersheba to receive an impartation that it was the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba when that piece of land was returned to the Jews which paved the way for the victory in Jerusalem a few years later they were actually celebrating this battle when I was there I also didn't realize it was to the day the 500th anniversary of the Reformation when Luther nailed his theses to the door of the church I began to realize this saw sovereign olam outside of time in control of time even working with our humanists made sure there was an opening on my calendar and had me to this strategic place on this strategic date on my way I had an encounter and the Istanbul Airport Istanbul Turkey I've been on an overnight flight I was tired and half asleep I had to walk it's a huge international terminal I had to walk probably a half a mile to get to my next flight and I decided to stay right where I was for a while sit down and rest half asleep hundreds of people all around me and a man began to manifest in front of me so I'm out of the corner of my eyes first I tried not to stare some of your laughing is you've heard this story he'd stripped down to his underwear and was mocking prancing back and forth in front of me I'm not sure what it is about demons are like to when they manifest make people get naked that's what the gadarene demoniac did he would take off all of his clothes have run through the tombs naked one of the signs that he was delivered was when they saw him sitting clothed and his right mind and I tried to be discreet and that lasted a second or two it I was just like everyone else but he wasn't drunk he was possessed he was not staggering he was prancing he was mocking me I doubt the poor young man had any idea what he was doing or what was going on and after two or three minutes security came and took him away and I sat there and asked the Lord no I hadn't been to Beersheba yet I'm thinking about the gloves to take out Giants and I said Lord I I know what the enemy's saying to me through this he's mocking me saying you're not gonna get your gloves I'm gonna stop you I know you're coming but I want to know if you're saying anything to me I'm not so interested what he's saying what are you saying anything and not that I think for a minute that God was making this young man allowing this happened in the sense of turning him over to demons but I knew God was using it and he said to me yes I am saying something to you through this I'm about to expose the works of the enemy in very significant ways I'm about to make him expose himself uncover him he thinks he's in charge but I'm in charge and I'm going to reveal to my people in significant ways in this season what he's doing how he's doing it how he's been doing it how how Giants have become entrenched and can or in control of regions of the earth some regions of the earth that have been under the control of principalities since the fall some areas and regions that have never ever been out from under the control of demonic influences and this is the season that I'm going to reveal to my people who they are where they are and you're going to take out Giants around the world [Applause] I went on to Israel thinking about all of this went to Beersheba had a wonderful time with the Lord there just by faith held my hands up and said dressing me for battle ever last evergreen get me ready for this season so that I can lead your people into taking out Giants one of the leaders obviously wonderful day on my way back to Jerusalem this is amazing than all this happened it is R I had no idea when God gave me this dream that I would go to Israel to get the gloves so my way back to Jerusalem to do a service that night Chuck called me and he said I have a word for you the Lord has spoken the phrase to me today and he said what he said to me many times I don't know what it means but God will show you and you're supposed to speak on it tonight he is annoying at times he night headed toward all 50 states and o3 and o4 I spoke 100 times he spoke 50 he prophesied a lot I prophesied we prayed we decreed I can assure you that at least 50 times Chuck Pierce looked at me with one word or one phrase and said I've heard this from the Lord I don't know what it means but it's for you and you're supposed to speak on it tonight and many times I said you're the Prophet what does it mean used to be got it no God will show you you're supposed to speak over well I don't know what it means either well God will show you I learned as we journeyed together the Lord did that so frequently I came to become comfortable with it I realized that the reason the Lord did this the way he does was doing it the way he does and continues to do to this day is that if he just gives me a one sentence meaning Chuck I'll I'll base what I'm doing and operate on that but if I have to go to God to get the revelation it usually expands into something much bigger he starts speaking to me about it and it unfolds and unfolds and unfolds and before he's finished I have a much greater revelation so he said I have a word for you and God will show you what it means and the word is he said I'm going to pioneer heparin again and I said well you're right I don't know what that means he said I don't know what it means either but God will show you so in the service at night I was in the worship thinking about the gloves thinking about the Giants thinking about Beersheba and thinking about the manifestation and the word that God gave me in the airport and thinking about this phrase pioneering Hebburn again and saying Lord what does this mean and then he begin to remind me of the history of Beersheba I mean of heparin Edward has one of the most significant places in Scripture it actually means intimacy friendship it also has the connotation of covenant or agreement contract the best phrase I can form to define heparin is simply covenant or friendship it's why God made sure that Abraham and Sarah were buried there at the place of friendship because God said he's my friend very significant place it was there that God came to him the final time and said you're going to have a son next year this was the transition point Hebburn it marked the end of one era and the beginning of a new era heaven is a place of old and new coming together yet the old ends the new begins one ERA ends another era begins very significant place heaven is the first piece of land owned by Abraham and therefore the Jewish people in the promised land very significant first piece of property old hybrid it's the place of the tomb of the patriarchs Abraham and Sarah are buried there as I said Isaac and Rebecca are buried there Jacob and Leah are buried there Hebrew scholars believe and they keep pretty good track of this stuff they believe Adam and Eve are buried there it's one of the oldest continually occupied cities in the world the tomb of Ruth and Jesse are there the tomb of Othniel the first judge is there David was anointed to rule Israel there at Hebron and he ruled there for seven years and then he was anointed to be king over all of Israel in Jerusalem he was anointed at Hebron it's the place of anointing it's the highest place highest city in all of Israel not the highest place but the highest city in all of Israel the symbolism of thereof that cannot be minimum cannot be overstated that out from the highest place of friendship heparan comes Authority anointing to rule many pictures they're about this place the place that represents covenant a place that represents friendship a place that represents the generations all the way back to Abraham and probably Adam but somehow in the time between Abraham and Joshua when they went in to take the land Hebburn had been overtaken by Giants that's what the Lord began to speak to me about and I knew this but I hadn't put it all together till that service Hebburn the high city was now ruled by a man named Arbaugh and his three sons who were also Giants in fact the Bible says Arbaugh was the greatest of all the Giants or Anakin he had decided and you have to understand the way the enemy tries to mock God this place that represents covenant friendship with you this place that goes all the way back to the man that you say you're going to use to redeem the world this place that goes all the way back probably to this place that represents covenant friendship generational synergy all of these things I'm going to rule this place I will defile it I will take it it will be mine I'll set up a principality there and Giants will rule this region from your holy city and our vow set up his kingdom there and he changed the name this mocking spirit changed the name from heaven to the city of Arbaugh Kiriath our boss city of our ball Caleb and the spies went in to spy out the land the ten spies wavered and said we can't do this the Giants are too big it was that city they were talking about that was the place that created such fear and when Caleb said I'll take it give me that mountain he was not saying I i want the high place or i want the highest or i want the city of friendship what caleb was really saying was we can do this and i'll take the biggest one and of course the ten spies influenced the nation they wavered and they had to wait 40 years so generation died to go take the land they went in Caleb reminded Joshua God through Moses said I could have that boy right there and that city would be mine give me my mountain what he was really saying was that don't miss this give me my giant I can take out this giant issues not how big I am the issue is who's whose side I'm on the issue is is God really sending me to do this and he conquered that city and renamed it Hebburn became one of the six cities of refuge cities that people who had accidentally taken a life to go and the city was set up with secure had secured measures to where friends or family members could not come in and rage in a moment of rage and take vengeance and just kind of stop the hatfield-mccoy thing people could not retaliate retaliated take someone else's life over an accidental death they were called seas of refuge but the point is for us is that these cities of refuge according to the book of Hebrews were types of Christ and the Hebrew writer says we have fled for refuge to him he's become our city of refuge so the picture becomes even greater that the place that people once fled from because of the Giants the evil the principalities the strongholds of debt and destruction the mocking spirits of darkness that ruled from there and controlled the land and it kept a generation from their inheritance for forty years it's now been conquered and God is back in control there and it's now a place of covenant again and Pete a place that people once ran from they're now running to it to find refuge salvation covenant and friendship with God and God said to me Caleb pioneered heparin again and this is what I'm about to do with my people and ever last and evergreen I'm going to show them strongholds I'm going to show them how to deal with strongholds I'm going to show them that if they have my weapons and are dressed for battle with the revelation that I give to them and that they need no giant is too big no stronghold it's too strong not none have been there too long none are entrenched too deeply no false gods are too strong no false religions are too great no deception is too great no no demons are too great God says this is the season we're gonna pioneer hampern again we're gonna take out the Giants [Music] [Applause] the Lord has shifted me into a completely new season I knew this would come and we're here he's saying to me you must stop now saying that the day is coming when we're going to do this you must begin to do it because the harvest is ready and the nations are ready and the atmosphere is ready and the time is now and my angels are ready and Holy Spirit is ready and I have a church a praying church that is ready I have an apostolic company that are ready and a prophetic company that already and this is the season you can take out Giants an amazing Credit Giants that have ruled the Giants that have seemed instant unstoppable are going to be taking out parts of the earth are going to shift from darkness to light this is the Isaiah 60 season those who sit in darkness are going to see a great light Kings will come to the brightness of his rising the glory of the Lord is rising upon us as we celebrate our great alarm el and the God of covenant and mercy inner cities are going to be transformed races are going to be transformed third world nations will be transformed the greatest harvest in history will now take place more souls will be saved in the next twenty thirty years that in the previous 2000 cities in America that many have given up on will experience such amazing revival that strongholds of poverty violence anger murder will be conquered inner cities will be transformed gangs will be saved addicted will be set free [Music] [Applause] I have no idea when I started can I go another 15 minutes or so yeah I want to lead in some or a lead in some prayer in a few minutes that's we're gonna we're gonna do some of this tonight I would never pass up an opportunity of getting this group together and not moving into a short season of intercession but listen let me move quickly through a couple of things it's fascinating to me that after Caleb pioneers had burned again takes out the Giants transforms the land basically our bond his three sons are dead there's another city nearby called the city of sefar Kiryat Sepher another stronghold and he says I took my city who's going to take this one a young man named off now his nephew I'll do it and it's long fascinated me if this young man who'd hung around uncle Caleb too long in the same spirit of faith the same warrior spirit and the same righteous indignation against these Giants had captured his heart and he basically said if uncle Caleb can take out a giant I can take out a giant and he conquered his city and he also I guess maybe because Caleb did it I don't know but he said I think I'll rename mine also and he changed the name from kiri off a city of sefar to de beer de bir de beer de beers is a word that means the innermost sanctuary that's not really the literal translation of the word but it's the derived meaning of the word because it Springs from the Hebrew word devar which is the word for the word the debar of the Lord so when you see the phrase the word of the Lord is always the debar of the Lord de Beer is a derivative of this word word of the Lord and since it was in the innermost sanctuary or the Holy of Holies where they heard the word of the Lord at a certain point in their history this is where God would speak Moses would go into the tent and listen Joshua would go in and listen and so since God spoke there or the word the debar of the Lord they called this place the de beer and it translated to them they the innermost sanctuary or I'm going to say it this way the place where the word of the Lord lived the intimate place of hearing and I see this as an incredible picture of generational synergy that what God is about to do in this hour that if we if my generation if some of you the 45 the 40s 50 60s if we will if we will be faithful to take out Giants and capture our heparins and pioneer them once again we're gonna make way for another generation to go beyond just friendship and go into the Holy of Holies and live in a place where the word of the Lord dwells and the presence of God dwells and the intimacy of God is there I tell you I believe this is a prophetic picture and passage of what God is about to do in the earth the most intimate the most prophetic the greatest warring the greatest transforming the greatest harvesting generation the world has ever seen is about to be released into the earth do not do not be deceived by what you see in campuses and the disillusionment that you see in the generations II and in the millennial generation right now the same thing happened in 60s and 70s but God had an answer for that too because that generation is just looking for destiny they're looking for a cause they are Justice minded this generation that we live in it's the most prophetic generation that's ever lived though they do not yet know it they will be the most prophetic evangelistic generation that's ever lived they will reap the greatest harvest that's ever been reaped they will transform in ways that are beyond anything we've been able to do and isn't that the way it should be from glory to glory strength to strength faith to faith the path of the righteous is a brighter and brighter until the full day if there is a generational synergy then there is a multiplication of power that is supposed to take place from generation to generation and I'm gonna say to you right now the off the air generation is about to be released into the earth [Applause] and I feel that the number one reason them don't just say a couple more things before we pray the number one reason the Lord wanted me to release this word tonight is because this is a giant conquering group of people this is a group of people called to be warriors we're not fighting flesh and blood we love people when we go to war we're not warring to hurt anybody we're roaring against the powers of darkness we're warring against ideologies we're warring against deception and darkness but we love people but we are warring generation we are a kaleb generation of Joshua generation we are equipped God is going to put the gloves on us we're going to go with faith in everlasting God and the God who keeps covenant and mercy to a thousand generations and he's going to arm us to take out giants around the world and in this nation that will liberate millions and I believe billions [Applause] and I'm just gonna sort of wrap this up by saying to you I'm going to Commission you I don't feel that I'm in the least presumptuous to say this I don't believe that I'm the only general but I believe I'm a general I'm certainly not the only father but I'm a father and I'm a father in this movement and I'm a general in this movement and God has told me tonight recommission this group of people it is incumbent upon you and me us our generation that we finish well we must rise up like Caleb who in 85 said I'm just as strong now as I ever was I don't honestly know if he was as strong physically he may have been but I know here he was still as strong as he ever was and then it it is so strategic and vitally important for you and I in this hour to rise up because this is the right time this is the horrea beautiful time and we who have started we who have been a part of a movement a prayer movement then it's caused awakening and to a certain degree around the world but it's only been a first fruits of what God wants to do and he must have us in this our rise to a new level of faith and a new level of tenacity a new level of strength a new level of determination and say this is the hour we step into the ring I want to mention just a couple of references not going to teach just gonna mention it the generation that went into the land with Joshua and Caleb and Concord and took their inheritance did not finish well seven times in the first chapter of the book of Judges it mentions tribe after tribe that conquered most of the territory but when they conquered enough to be able to rule they grew complacent and did not finish the job and by the time thirty forty years had gone by they were serving the Canaanite gods intermarrying with people the Canaanite people worshiping those idols judges - says a generation after Joshua died a generation came forth that didn't know the law it's not it's not good enough to start well aglow it's not good enough to have been used yesterday ago I am so determined to finish well Alijah has turned a nation in first Kings 18 he has contended with the idols the false gods of Jezebel and the false prophets he's confronted a nation over their idolatry he's had an encounter with the false prophets of Vail and said let's find out who really is God and the God who answers by fire will will know is God and of course the profits of bail couldn't get anything done but Elijah prayed and God answered by fire and the nation repented said the Lord he is God Yahweh is God it's fascinating when he had confronted them earlier in the chapter the Israelites he said how long do you hold the king james says other translations are how long do you live between opinions you're supposed to be warriors you're now limping under the influence of bail but they repented and said the Lord he is God we will serve Him Elijah goes to the mountain and his intercession delivers a nation from seven years of famine and drought some of the most amazing store of testimonies of God's power are seen in that chapter he outran a chariot for twenty miles to get to his next location sovereign supernatural impartation of God's strength but then he wore down you know the story and when that spirit of Jezebel wasn't the woman it was that principality started working against him in his weakened tired state he began to waver then he began to fear have fear doubt he fled he became so depressed he said Lord take my life I don't want to live it's it's just it's it's so incredibly shocking to me that a man could go from that level of victory to that level of devastation that quickly and I he may be listening to me I'm not knocking Elijah he's one of my heroes he's a picture of what can happen when we get weary if we let our guard down but here's my point even though the Lord so graciously said I'll just finish it through your sons so go anoint Hazael and Elijah and Jehu and they'll finish what you started and they did finish what he started please hear me thirteen years later by the time they finished cleansing the nation Elijah had her false prophets in place again the temples were reborn or rebuilt and the spirit of Balaam was in full operation again as were Jezebel and they had and in God's grace and mercy the job was finished but after 12 to 13 year delay we got to finish well I've got a lot of miles on this body the last several years I've averaged 70 to 75 cities a year in America gathering people to pray and contend and cry out for the turning of a nation and I don't mind telling you I'm just a little bit tired but also I'm here to tell you that there is no quit in me and if I have to be I would be like the soldier one of David's mighty men that when he got so tired fighting the battle that his hands stopped working and they had to peel his fingers off of the sword when he was finished when he when his body could no longer hold on he just held on with his heart and he says the Lord brought a great victory and I'm here to say to you this is not a day to slack up or let up in any way this is a day for the warriors to arise this is a day for the Joshua's and kaleb's to rise the David's to arise this is a day to put the gloves on and say we're gonna finish well and we won't stop swinging until there's a third Great Awakening in America we won't stop swinging into prayers welcomed in the schools and the lives of babies are safe in the womb that God is welcome in our government once again we won't stop until millions are being saved in every state every city every county in America every high school every college is on fire with revival we won't stop until we see that [Music] because this is our finest hour Church our greatest days are not behind us they're in front of us do not base your faith on what you see on the news make sure you listen more to Holy Spirit than you do Fox CNN MSNBC or any of the other letters because I don't care what any of them say I know what God is saying it's time for this third Great Awakening to take place and the greatest harvest in the history of the planet it's about to occur and this nation is a part of it in fact this nation must have this awakening because we are a nation destined by God to be the nation he uses more than any other in history to trumpet the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world and he needs us and he's going to infuse you with strength and if you're tired he's going to renew your strength this is a day to take Psalms 103 he renews your youth like the Eagle some of you literally I think if you'll read if you reenlist he'll add ten years of strength to your life maybe 20 the Othniel need us the sons and daughters that will run so incredibly well the next few decades are desperate are going to be desperately needing the fathers and the mothers this is a day to allow him to increase your strength you can get old in your body somewhat but you can't get old in your heart are you listening to me you must maintain the warrior spirit you must make sure your wine skin is fresh you must make sure that you are flexible and I say to this ministry I have great confidence that you will well you must keep this wine skin fresh you must persevere into the now that's one of the reasons I love this ministry so much because you do that God gives a word you act on the word you listen for what he's saying you prepare your hearts your minds and you do everything possible here and around the world to obey the word of the Lord and to implement it this is a season to do that
