[Music] so [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] uh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] all right could you bow your heads with me and we're gonna pray father we love you jesus we love you holy spirit we love you god we ask over the next few moments lord that you would release a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of who you are lord we're asking in this generation lord that you would open up our eyes that you would open up our ears god raise up trumpets raise up messengers in every nation that would be faithful witnesses of your son jesus father of lights we ask even now that you would invade invade hemispheres with your glory or we lift up our voices for the 10 40 window lord we pray for historic outpouring of the holy spirit well we lift up our voices for charlotte for north carolina lord your kingdom come god your will be done on earth as it is in heaven lord we thank you it's not about a man it's not about a ministry it's not even about a movement it's all about jesus in your name i pray and everybody said reggie thank you sir i'm going to have some slides tonight encourage you to just follow along as i talk if you want to take notes take pictures it would help you in the beginning of our time earlier this year i began to talk about an encounter that i had with jesus christ in 2018. in 2018 we had just planted and sent our second campus down in florida and around that time i was asking the lord honestly about the fivefold ministry about my call in florida and the nation of the earth and i was what i call jehovah's sneaky has anybody ever been jehovah's sneaky in other words it's not really an encounter that you're asking for that you're praying about that you're fasting about i sort of got snuck up on by the lord and he began to reveal things to me that would forever change the course of my life and i want to bless all the fasting i want to bless all the praying i want to bless all the seeking but how many of you know that we have such a good god that he is willing even to meet us when we're not seeking him telling you the most dramatic encounter of my life came when i was seeking god concerning an entirely different subject matter and all of a sudden jesus christ walks into my bedroom and as the lord walked into my bedroom he pointed his finger at me and i can recall to you what he said to me just just again and again because it was like he tattooed me with a declaration and this is what he said to me many know the lamb who went to calvary but few know the lion who is returning to devour his father's enemies many know the lamb who went to calvary but few know the lion who is returning to devour his father's enemies the next thing that happened was the lord looked me in the eyes and said to me will you be a faithful witness in this generation i'm going to raise up an army of end-time messengers in the earth i just want to tell you this is called a mandate in other words god wasn't asking me he wasn't suggesting to me when you see the lord and you encounter him like i have there's no going back doesn't matter if one person shows up it doesn't matter if 10 000 people show up you could put a gun to my head right now and i would never deny the lord jesus christ for me it's just not ethereal a theoretical knowledge i've had an encounter he's marked me he's tattooed me he's branded me he's put a hook in my mouth his hand is upon me and i must fulfill this mandate in the earth i'm willing to die for it paul said that he had grabbed hold of god for the reason god had grabbed hold of him my prayer that is more than just becoming a christian and finding a good church that you would grab hold of god for the reason he grabbed hold of you so for me because i know the reason why he grabbed hold of me i'm going to grab hold of him with everything that i've got few know the lion who is returning to devour his father's enemies i spent weeks i spent months praying fasting crying it eventually led to me giving our campuses over to our elder team literally just the release of the lord came out of pastoral ministry at the time and i began to run with this mandate not only of this encounter but i'm convinced god is raising up an army of end-time messengers in the earth faithful witnesses not only to the lamb but to the lion so the next slide last month in may i talked about this other encounter that i had where the lord said to me that there would be two dueling brides that would arise in the earth prior to the return of jesus christ there will be two dueling brides that will rise and i talked about the harlot bride last month and how we'll know the harlot bride is she will marry herself to the world i like to tell people jesus christ is not coming back for babylon he's coming back for a bride so there's going to be a harlot bride rising in the earth that's going to look like and act like and talk like a christian they're going to have a form of godliness they're going to do just enough to fool and deceive but really inwardly they're full of demons the harlot bride it's a very real reality to me there is an antichrist spirit that is raging in this nation there is an anti-christ agenda people are looking for a guy with horns on his heads that's very scary and i'm telling you the devil is not out there he's infiltrated the church we are legislating immorality and wickedness in certain parts of the church and i just want to throw this out there as a disclaimer you're sitting in a church who's faithfully preaching the gospel i am so thankful for refuge church you know what their sermon series is on right now the fear of god see by the response you haven't traveled enough like i have you haven't been to hundreds of churches around this nation you haven't talked to pastors and leaders like i have who their number one fear is to tell the truth two dueling brides the harlot bride married to the world and then they'll be the consecrated bride which is you and i and the lord said to me they'll be married to the man of war the consecrated bride that jesus christ is coming back for is going to be married to jesus the man of war you guys tracking with me so if you have your bible real quickly revelation chapter 19 verse 11 revelation 19 verse 11. i always just want to try to be honest with you i always continue to wrestle with the lord over messages like this i was literally saying to the lord in my house god how am i going to talk to your people as you as the man of war when we have a generation that thinks you're a sugar daddy who's going to give them what they want whenever they want how is that going to work and the lord just said to me just he said a question back to me do you want to be a faithful witness in this generation or not see god isn't into surveys it's like we have church interest meetings you guys heard this new phenomenon when somebody plants a church they have an interest meeting in other words i guess we'll just find out if people are interested or not and then we'll figure out if we're going to do the will of god or not no how about we do the will of god or not regardless of whether what people think we don't need to take surveys we don't need to take polls christianity isn't about a popularity contest we have been given a mandate to make disciples to be faithful witnesses of the god of revelation and the god of genesis so revelation 19 verse 11 a lot of folks know this as armageddon and i saw heaven open 1911 and behold a white horse and he who sat upon it is called our homeboy oh faithful and true and in righteousness he judges and wages war and his eyes are a flame of fire and upon his head are many diadems and he has a name written upon him which no one knows except himself and he is clothed with robe dip in blood and his name is called the word of god and the armies which are in heaven clothed in fine linen white and clean were following him on a white horse and from his mouth comes a sharp sword so that with it he may smite the nations and he will rule them with a rod of iron and he treads the winepress of the fear fierce wrath of god the almighty and on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written king of kings and lord of lords and i saw an angel standing in the sun and he cried out with a loud voice saying to all the birds which fly in mid heaven come assemble for the great supper of god in order that he may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders in the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of men both free men and slaves and small and great still have never heard those 12 verses ever preached in a church jesus came to me and he said many know the lamb who went to calvary the goodness the kindness the grace how many of you believe that god is a good and kind father how many of you believe in his grace paul said in the book of romans behold the kindness and the severity of god how many of you believe in that god is truth how many of you believe that god disciplines those he loves we know that god corrects we know that god rebukes we know that there's a god of genesis and we know that there's a god of revelation we also know in the 21st century preaching certain parts of god is going to get you more money and more butts and seats we've done down the gospel to making friends and winning influence the lord said to me do you want to be a faithful witness in this generation see i believe that we don't need to produce jesus we just need to introduce jesus i don't think that jesus needs a pr job i don't think that he needs makeup in fact i believe we're more afraid of introducing him than he is to introducing himself i think that by us being afraid to introduce him it demonstrates our lack of trust in the person of the holy spirit because jesus made it very clear no one comes to the father unless the holy spirit draws them so if we are dependent upon the holy spirit to draw men to himself therefore if my trust and dependence is in him i can faithfully preach the gospel and tell a generation he's the lion and the lamb he's full of grace and he's full of truth and when you reject me you're not rejecting me you're rejecting him see we have to understand as faithful witnesses this is not about us this is not what i get out of it this is not how i can build my ministry and my following this is about how can i give jesus his full inheritance in the earth this is about how can i give jesus back what he died for so much of ministry especially in america involves me and my and we and you and i and it's greatly displeasing to the lord jesus opened up his ministry by cleansing the temple and he ends his ministry by cleansing the temple i'm prophesying to you now god is coming to cleanse his temples in america in the nations of the earth there is a divine confrontation coming to planet earth and i'm telling you the doctrines of demons are not out there they're infiltrating the church and when i say in here once again i'm not talking about this church i if you know me i wouldn't be a part of a church that didn't preach the gospel thank god for refuge but folks we are in a crisis we are in a desperate hour in america we're an anti-christ agenda is seeking to redefine biblical marriage it is seeking to define sexual orientation there is an all-out war even in kids shows parents there's never been a more greater it's like brother i i can't be a faithful witness in a stadium folks i'm talking about being a faithful witness to your children i'm talking about being a faithful witness at work i'm talking about being a faithful witness wherever there's an opportunity that's given to you do you want to be a faithful witness to the god of the bible as i begin to pray about unpacking the man of war and again i'm just preaching to you the journey that i'm on here on our once a month gatherings as i began to write down the descriptions of the sword that's going to come out of his mouth and his robe that would be dipped in blood and i thought about unpacking what all of that meant for us i felt like the holy spirit stopped me as i was praying and preparing the last couple of weeks and said jeremiah before you get into jesus as the man of war i want you to talk about three god of the bible realities that are needed in this generation so we'll probably get to the man of war in july but i don't really know that we'll be able to embrace him fully until we give ourselves to this god of the bible reality and the pressing question that god has been asking me and i believe that he's asking this generation is this are you in love with the god of the bible or are you in love with the god made in your own imagination am i in love with the god of the bible the god of genesis exodus leviticus and number 39 and the old 27 in the new m am i in love am i in relationship do i value and trust all of him or have i picked a version of god that best fits my lifestyle have i picked i call it the highlighter god we like to highlight portions of scripture that make us feel good and we like to ignore passages of scripture that invite us into a divine wrestle see i'm a wrestler by nature i grew up wrestling for many years i went to state in indiana so by nature when god apprehended me i tell people i got delivered from wrestling men to wrestling god i love to hear the word of god preached where it invites me into a divine wrestle and i have to grapple with the lord for understanding see i don't i don't like preaching where you get it and you understand it in the 30 minutes i like preaching where they like drop a holy ghost nuclear bomb that you have to chew on for a month you have to go back through the notes you have to go back what in the world was that person trying to preach because i love that there's mystery i love that there's no end to god i love that there's an invitation lord let me transform me conform me into a disciple see because disciples wrestle disciples though they hear the hard word of the lord they say like peter lord where else shall we go see disciples don't have any exit doors they don't have any plan b disciples of jesus christ get converted and they're all in baby see i love that hymn i have decided to follow jesus though none go with me when jesus becomes less popular i'm not turning back because i'm all in keep trying to tell people you meet so many christians that are backsliding because they never learned how to front slide not going to get into a doctrinal rant but we're talking so much about people losing their salvation these days because i'm not even sure they ever truly got born again but i'll get off of it three three god of the bible realities are you ready i believe in the spirit of isaiah 40 preparing the way of the lord skyler mention this john the baptist rises in his day and he begins to prepare a generation for the first coming of the lord in the same spirit of john the baptist god is going to raise up a generation of end-time messengers who will faithfully prepare the bride for the coming of the lord i believe when it says that every mountain shall be leveled and every valley shall be raised up what that means is god is going to raise up faithful witnesses in this hour and they're going to possess a spirit of clarity concerning who god is and the clarity that they walk in is going to confront the confusion around them the clarity that god is going to release concerning who he really is is going to confront the confusion and i'm telling you the confusion is not just out in culture there is a confusing spirit that has come upon the church where we are confused about our mission our mission is to make disciples not win fans the church was never created to be a sub culture for the world people are so comfortable in church that now god is uncomfortable we spend more time chasing new visitors and trying to get them to come back to our programs then we do wait on the person of the holy spirit and let him know how much we love him oh and it's so freeing i'm telling you the greatest thing that can happen in your life is to get free from the opinions of men it is so glorious to live underneath the father's smile to get delivered from finding your identity in ministry so long as you say what he wants you to say so long as you do what he wants you to do and so long as you give it your best to always do it with the father's heart then praise the lord whether one shows up or ten thousand whether one dollars in the bucket or ten million i am living for his affirmation his praise and his applause lord is prophesying over a generation sees the day the time is now what do we just think the last 16 18 months of covid was just like playtime we just catch up on all the netflix and just binge a little wild where the world went crazy folks we just had 18 months a divine opportunity to hear what the spirit is saying to the church and i'm telling you what the spirit is saying to the church is do not go back to egypt do not go back to when you were a slave to the religious system doing its bidding people pleasing bowing down to the god of this world i refuse the lord is breaking chains all over the earth i'm telling you there's an end time revival that's coming for those who are willing to refuse business as usual feeling in my bones but everything in me says lord we need less stroking and more provoking brother you're radical know the fact that we think people that preach the bible are radical just shows us how far we've strayed lord i want all of you i want every single part of you lord i'm willing to wrestle with the passages of scripture that make me cringe lord i'm willing to wrestle with the parts of you that that eat at something in me concerning my childhood i was literally crying at our offices today saying lord i literally i'm willing to lay it all down i just want to be a faithful witness i just want to know the god of the bible and i do not want to settle for a god made in my own imagination i don't even want to settle for who my pastor says he is thank god for the men and women of god but folks he's cutting that feeding tube that's what happened last year the lord was rebuking the church in america saying it's time to eat on me it's time to stop being a spectator it's time to stop blaming the church for your family and marriage problems it's time to commune and abide in me it's time to know that i don't live on bread alone but every word that comes out of the mouth of god lord would you bring us into a realm of utter dependence upon the holy spirit once again this is why the cry of revival it brings such a tension in a room because the cry of revival is god what we're doing isn't working please come it's literally it's giving god all of our efforts all of our all of our self-help good ideologies and what we think will get people in the door and all the marketing and all the advertising lord i'm giving it all to you and saying lord what is it we need a move of god in this nation we need the holy spirit i'm just going to say it one more time folks we're in a critical hour i'm not preaching fear but i'm just telling you the church has been asleep for so long that where the enemy was once on the back 40 he's literally in the door and god raises up prophets to sound the alarm blow a trumpet in zion call a fast gather the elders i you know i i'm conflicted like praise the lord that you were born in this generation and let's get excited about that but the other half of me wants to apologize to you because where people could once play religious christian games and get away with it because the devil was out there now in this generation there is a wrestle and a confrontation whether you like it or not and i for one refuse to sit back and let the devil devour our children folks he's coming after our kids man i'm i'm that type of person dude you just come after me but if you touch my kids like where is the church we we just think our sunday morning church attendant and that that's gonna in the name of jesus devil i rebuke you i'm telling you it's the sons of skeva thing we're trying to rebuke this and do that getting by on the least that we can do versus god is inviting a generation come and taste and see that i am good come and drink from the river of who i am come and let all of who i am sustain you in your time of need jesus i just want to know you god raise up messengers raise up messengers in charlotte god raise up messengers in this room voices of clarity in the midst of a confused world god i ask lord for a spirit of revelation to strike our hearts tonight lord i pray for a spirit of breakthrough lord i ask for the breaker anointing to come back to the church lord i pray for a divine interruption holy ghost we ask you please lord would you please come and crash our calendars our schedules lord i ask that you would forgive us lord for telling you what we're gonna do and when we're gonna do it lord i'm believing you lord that the best days are yet in front of us i feel like the lord is saying i want to ride with you in the car i do want to be with you but you get in the passenger seat and i'm the driver it's not about whether i want to be with you or not or whether i love you or not it's not about whether i love you in fact i'm trying to manifest my love to you by driving god we just slide on over tonight lord we just slide on over to that passenger seat lord you are the potter and we're the clay you are god and we are not lord we get off the thrones that we've built in our own hearts and put ourselves up there lord we pray lord dethrone us tonight lord humble us if you have a prayer language just begin to pray in the holy spirit just for two minutes i just want to just sit here for two minutes god we ask that you would come and massage our hearts tonight lord i ask lord that you would come and soften harden hearts lord i'm asking that you would heal those who have been wounded maybe by a move of god lord holy spirit we ask that you would help us just 30 more seconds we're stirring ourselves up in our most holy faith we're breaking up follow ground we're preparing a place for the lord holy spirit would you come would you reveal yourself strong we want the real jesus we want the real jesus lord we want the real thing no substitutes no substitutes lord we want the real deal jesus oh so the lord's going to raise up messengers to help prepare the coming of the lord these messengers are going to confront valleys low views of god these messengers are going to confront low expectations valleys and they're going to raise them and say how great is your god your god is unsearchable messengers who are drunk on the knowledge of god they are drunk on the god of the bible they find holy fascination and recreation in the word of god lord i'm asking that you would revive this generation according to your word lord i pray for a revival of the word of god in charlotte a revival of the word of god in america lord we burn our church growth textbooks lord i'm asking even for families lord i'm asking for fire on the altar lord i pray for neighborhoods and cities i pray for a holy ghost outpouring of your spirit lord i'm asking the lord is saying i'm trimming wicks i'm releasing oil in this hour i'm coming in the earth right now to challenge the status quo hallelujah send your fire lord release a fresh groan in the earth let's talk about these three god of the bible realities number one the first bible reality we need in this generation if we're going to know god is the man of war the church is a culture of truth the church is a culture of truth not a culture of feelings a love paul writes to timothy 1 timothy 3 15 he writes to the household of god which is the church of the living god the pillar and support of truth i want us to understand that when you say church from a heavenly perspective when god looks down on a gathering of believers he's saying i'm identifying a group of people who are a supporter who are a sponsor who are a faithful witness to the truth i truly believe that in every generation there are doctrines of demons there is an antichrist spirit that's raging in that generation and the church as the support and pillar of truth has a responsibility to rise up and rebuke it i'm talking about open rebuke is better than hidden love i'm talking didn't drink coffee tonight feel it in my bones there is going to be such an army emerging in the earth i'm telling you they love truth there are millions of american christians that are tired of being patronized they are tired of being lied to every sunday comforted in their sin when they know because the holy spirit is convicting them folks i'm telling you we get delivered from people pleasing when we trust the holy ghost oh hallelujah there's this ground swell it's a grassroots movement all over the earth telling you these days of people being afraid to preach the truth because they can't pay their bills or people being afraid to preach the truth because they'll lose their job i'm telling you there's an uncommon anointing there's a favor that's going to rest on the people of god whereas you're faithful to what he tells you to do when you do it he will supply all your needs according to his riches in christ jesus i'm telling you there's a divine supply there are finances there's ravens there's widows there's they might not look like who they look like in last season but my god is faithful there's always a ram in the thicket as we walk in step i'm telling you god is saying it's time to step out in faith i'm binding the spirit of fear i'm going to get you out of your comfort zone so that you might know the comfort of the holy ghost like never before somebody shout hallelujah [Applause] oh they're going to be passionate they're going to be zealous we're finally gonna have a reservoir of god that the people actually want see we're unconvincing we haven't been persuaded that's why they keep walking in and out doing all this entertainment all this dessert because we've got no meat it's a fake hate it's a false reality we're just sugar coating people and their teeth are rotting out folks i'm telling you i travel all over this nation and meet people that just want jesus i'm telling you some of you you have been duped you have a wrong mindset let the spirit of god confirm it to you some of you have a wrong mindset concerning the person of god where you believe if you get radical he can't provide the holy ghost falls at pentecost and peter rises up and says everybody's okay in your sin have a nice day this brother gets up and tells them repent you crucify jesus you think there was a little tension in that place three 000 saved in one gathering all needs being met in the church because people encountered the real thing folks i'm telling you i do not care how much people tell me you've got to do this and you got to do that to get people in the doors i'm not trying to get people in the doors i'm trying to make disciples of jesus christ i want god to raise up faithful witnesses in this generation who are ready for a divine confrontation in a school system in a workplace in a neighborhood in a gas station anytime anywhere i'm so full of god i don't care if i die see these were the kind of men that turned cities and nations upside down they were possessed they were full of the holy spirit and fire they didn't turn on the faucet at church and then shut it off when they went home and watched the nfl it was when i'm telling listen i'm not preaching against the nfl because i'm convinced some people think god is limited to what we like i'm going to tell you when you're on fire for god wherever that you go is a place where the spirit of god can flow you better believe there's going to be some religious spirits out there in these last days telling people the holy spirit can only move in this setting folks we better get ready because the holy spirit's about to be poured out in any place that wants them if you want the holy spirit if you want the real jesus i'm telling you he is going to meet folks in every city and every region and every nation in the earth i just want the real thing i'm hungry this is it's like of all the entertaining and all the people pleasing we're doing in america and how good we're doing i just can't imagine what would happen if we did it god's way you know how they built the church of acts bold and confrontational preaching there was either revival or riot because they ran into men and women of power folks let me just help you the power is not just like some you know superhero boom and people fall over the power comes when you get apprehended by who apprehended you power comes from men and women who have been convinced in the secret place that god will cover them in the public place like i want the power i'm like i don't know what people think that's coming to them you know some fireball or no power comes from persuasion i am persuaded paul said and power flowed from his hands the church is a culture of truth not a culture of feelings i believe that god is calling on the church to rise and rebuke apostasy in our day i'm talking about hyper fake grace i'm talking about grace that gives people a license to sin i'm talking about false unity where we love everybody where now we're dining with judas and jezebel i'm telling you there's a false justice movement rising in the earth that is deceiving generations and the lord is going to rally his people and speak the truth it is the truth that sets us free god set my heart free tonight to love you mark chapter 10 real quickly i accidentally gave them the wrong passage of scripture because the truth is i'm not really a good notes guy i gave them to him this morning but i gave him mark 10 mark 8 but really it's mark 10. let me just show you real quickly the church is a culture of truth not a culture of feelings mark 10 20 and he said to him teacher i have kept all these things from my youth jesus is talking to the rich young ruler many of us have heard this story in sunday school this is a gentleman who had a lot of wealth and jesus gives him a scenario what does it mean to follow me and he tells him some of these things and then he says to him in 21 21 and looking at him jesus felt a love for him and said to him one thing you lack go and sell all you possess and give to the poor and you shall have treasure in heaven and come follow me but all these words his face but at these words his face fell and he went away grieved for he was one who owned much property and jesus looking around said to his disciples how hard will it be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of god this is a encounter that jesus had with a wealthy man who wanted to follow him and at the end of the encounter the man walks away sad because he refuses to obey the request of jesus i'm talking about a homosexual couple having an encounter with jesus and jesus saying them one thing you lack you're living in fornication and before we make it about the homosexuals folks i'm talking about heterosexual couples man and woman who are sleeping together who are not married to them jesus would say one thing you lack you're in fornication it's sin repent and imagine these couples getting ticked that's not love the bible says don't judge heard that one lately the bible says i wish jesus wasn't so mean he's mean right he's harsh he he was angry no look at it i want you to see this with your eyes and looking at him jesus felt a love for him and said let me read you the greek in jesus having fixed his searching gaze upon him fell in love with him so what if bible love tells the truth what if bible love confronts what if bible love is more concerned about where you're going to spend eternity than offending you right now we're confronting a god that's being erected in america that is literally being derived from imagination we are creating a false god who is in love with whatever sexual preference people have we are creating a god who evidently doesn't care what you do as long as you're a good person you're getting into heaven and when we try to share the bible with people their first response is such hate hater bigot mean-spirited we're living in an hour i'm telling you the further a society drifts from the truth the more they hate those who speak it so do we want to be a faithful witness or not i want you to put yourself in that position on that street corner with that family member and them asking you this question is this okay and is the answer we're going to give them derive from the bible or what will make them feel better see because folks i'm just going to be fully transparent with you i have shared the gospel many times and walked away and god faithfully said to me that wasn't the gospel you ever got in those awkward moments where you you share the gospel truth and then someone starts trying to bend it and make it flexible and apply to their situation and we start negotiating with the god of the bible and before you left the conversation you're praying to a god of your imagination come into my heart he fell in love with him all right everybody look at me jesus loves you and he loves you too much to leave you in your sin come as you are which the seeker friendly church got right but they missed this part come as you are doesn't mean stay as you are like no one has a real encounter with jesus and their lifestyle doesn't change th this this is this is not a gospel of self-help or behavior modification i i'm not i'm not serving you some just act the part and be a chameleon and when you get around christians you just kind of i mean i'm i'm talking about the gospel of jesus christ that brings internal transformation where when you came to the lord and you surrendered your whole life you began a journey and a process where you never look back folks please hear me when we start perverting the bible when we start polluting the gospel we strip it of its power the reason why we're not seeing power signs wonders and miracles in the church is because we're not preaching the bible the more you stand upon the truth the more you be a faithful witness it beckons the lightning and the fire of god to accompany you wherever that you're at how we doing you know i'm preaching to you discipleship 101 what every born-again believer should hear the first day folks i truly believe in much of the american church what we're just simply doing is trying to talk people back into the gospel they should have believed in the first place i want to be a faithful witness of the truth how jesus's words make us feel emotionally is not a good gauge of truth i'm not saying that god does not care about your feelings i'm not saying that we be rude and arrogant and get a blowhorn and tell people they're all gonna go to hell it's not what i'm saying but what i'm saying is is there has been a direct attack and assault on the god of truth and this generation and there is a twisting and a perversion there is a doctrine of devils i'm telling you it's a spirit we do not realize how demonically inspired this thing is i'm telling you the devil is okay with church attendance he's okay with good little kids church where we serve animal crackers and we draw on things he is afraid of a people who have learned how to live in christ who will found their lives upon the word of god who will not back down in an hour of crisis that is a generation that the devil will run from as for me and my house we're gonna serve the lord the word of god we know it i'm winding the plane word of god the word of god is alive and active sharper than any two double-edged sword you guys know that scripture paul told timothy that all scripture is god-breathed folks we realize in a lot of churches they don't believe the bible's the inspired word of god so they went ahead and just took the bible out and picked and choose parts of it they want to believe and there's no more standard moral relativism what's good for you is good for me i'm talking about moral absolutism that there is a standard that there are precepts that there are laws that god has called this generation to live in and i want to touch on it one more time do not fear doing it god's way do not allow the devil to lie to you that if you abstain from sexual immorality and that you're pure before the lord he will not bless you there are so many lies that the devil is whispering to a generation trying to pollute them and pervert them and in the midst of the chaos i'm telling you daniels are going to rise the radshack meshach and a bendigo anointing is coming in america where there is such faith there is such zeal that whether god saves me or not i'm not backing down whether god performs a miracle or not i still choose to serve him whether one person comes to your bible study if he told you to do it do it folks we we need a backbone we need some fight we laid down too easily to the stinking devil i hate his guts he loves us number two three god of the bible reality so land the plane we can't separate jesus from what he says we can't we we like to try to fall in love with little homeboy jesus little blonde hair blue eye just back in the lazy boy and drinking sweet tea and just hanging out in american christianity and just do your thing and come to the buffet get a little meal on sunday and go back and do whatever you want we'll go to heaven one day but we can't disconnect what he actually said from himself we can do this in life oh they didn't mean it you hear people say things and you try to separate what they said from whom they are i want to tell you jesus never uttered a word he didn't mean never said listen to some of these statements mark 8 38 for whoever is ashamed of me and my words whoever is ashamed of me and my words the son of man will also be ashamed of him john 12 48 he who rejects me listen for it and does not receive my sayings has one who judges him the word i spoke is what will judge him at the last days luke 6 46 why do you call me lord and do not do what i say i don't know where you're at as we're closing i don't know if you've already checked out i don't know if you're in this wrestle i don't know if you're encouraged i don't know where you're at but i'm telling you the spirit of god is here hovering over this place filling our very beings saying i want to make you a lover of the truth i want to bid you to come and surrender just a little more it's a divine exchange where we lay down our will and how we feel and what we want to do and we stop looking at a cross and we learn how to bear a cross we begin to focus on jesus we begin to make much of him we begin to exalt him in our lives we begin to worship him i'm telling you there's a fresh anointing coming on the worship movement in america we're going to see true worshipers worship jesus and not baal i am carrying a burden from the lord that we are worshiping baal and much of the american church baal represents the cult of self and many portions of the american church we are making worship about us and all about us and i'm telling you from god's perspective it's baal worship it must be torn down it must be confronted it must be must be spoken to if we're gonna give jesus the worship that he deserves that he is worthy of we're going to have to love him and worship him in spirit and in truth well if we just stop coming to church to get ours i don't i didn't get fed at church brother and kindness we don't go to church to get fed that's what your bible is for in your home it's what a prayer life is for we drink deeply from the spirit of god and then if there's overflow and corporate gatherings praise god stop blaming the church for why you have no fire i'm serious there's an epidemic in this generation where we are continuing to blame and point the finger at this person and that movement and that model for why we're not getting burning hot in the secret place it's where he's going to tattoo you and mark you lord i want to be a lover of not only you but every word that you say i'm telling you drink my blood and eat my flesh they all deserted and what is peter say lord where shall we go you have the words of eternal life god is asking many of us in this room are you all in are you all in do we want to be faithful witnesses and finally number three god of the bible realities jesus never sacrifices truth for popularity i literally wish they would put this in a bible college and seminary and it only has one page jesus never sacrifices the truth for popularity the gospel is not a popularity contest this is not about how many and how big and how that's all orphan talking and thinking that's the spirit of competition that still hasn't got settled in the love of the father for them the race for popularity and influence will be here until jesus comes again but where are those who will choose the more excellent way and come and sit at his feet i've done television there's just something that happens when you put a camera in front of somebody's face there's something about we like to why isn't that preacher preaching the truth watered down coward listened to a guy say that one time i said so sir if if this gentleman at this church preaches the truth he'll probably get fired so he's going to lose his job it's probably why he's not preaching the truth so would you preach the truth at your work and get fired and i said just be quiet then make it applicable to you am i willing to take a stand in my sphere of influence regardless of the friends that i'll lose i have watched christian leader after christian leader famous person after famous person literally when given the opportunity on a big stage they bow every time i want to be faithful to the truth when i'm preaching to my dogs but i want to be faithful to the truth when famous people get around me it'll cost you i'd like to end tonight with just this god and the devil both asking the church the same question how much will it take for you to sell the truth god and the devil are both asking this generation this one question how much will it take for you to sell the truth money brother i just need that raise i need that promotion i need that business deal if i could just elbow my way in at work if i could just impress that girl folks there are thousands and thousands of offers that are going to come knocking at our door in every season asking us this question are you for sale there's the test of obscurity which so many pass but the test of notoriety so many fail folks i'm telling you it is easy to stand for the truth when you don't have an audience and no one is watching but as you begin to gain influence and people get around you and start following that invitation to water it down to slow it down to make it this your kids start growing up and they're engaging in this and engaging that and well i just want to be their friend wrong i have a responsibility because i love them that much proverbs 23 23 can you stand this is god's word to us proverbs 23 23 really simple i hope that you'll memorize it buy the truth and do not sell it buy the truth and do not sell it i want to ask you to close your eyes tonight i believe that god is stirring our hearts tonight i believe that he's challenging areas in our lives where we've bowed i've tried to share out of my own life so you don't think i'm preaching at you i've made mistakes myself i have regrets on some days but god's mercy his grace his love is here this morning he wants to excuse me here tonight and he wants to kiss us i believe that god wants to kiss us tonight he wants to set his seal of love upon us and reveal all of who he is to us lord i want the real thing i don't want to be a fair-weather fan i don't want to shout jesus at church and quiet when your name's being taken in vain at work lord i'm tired of avoiding people because i know you're knocking on the door of my heart to speak [Music] i believe the lord is speaking to me for some of you to consider this you might not be all jazzed up about the battle you might not really consider yourself a confrontational person but i feel like the lord is saying to some of you tonight in love yeah but it's not about you i'm talking about your kids and your grandkids [Music] will you fight for them [Music] holy spirit come and speak to us tonight all over this room come and mark faithful witnesses help us to be lovers of the truth if you're sensing something that you need to confess to god you just need to get it out lord i'm sorry something come into my mind where i had an opportunity don't leave here with guilt or shame get it out repent and say lord give me another shot some of you are here in this room god wants to mantle you as an end-time messenger of faithful witness in the earth if any of that is you i want you to come down to the front right now just respond as the lord leads you i'm gonna believe that the lord is gonna mark he's going to point out end time messengers faithful witnesses in these altars [Music] if you're feeling ashamed if you're feeling fear i want to encourage you that's not of the lord that's the devil on you and how you get free is to confess it

spirit all over this sanctuary that you can pull on and say lord mark me as a messenger [Music] come on i'm telling you peter denied jesus but when he caught the holy ghost there is a spirit of boldness and courage that rested upon him and i'm prophesying to you there's a fresh pentecost that will come to this generation a true outpouring of the holy spirit that will sovereignly launch messengers into the harvest fields lord we ask would you do it again would you do it again lord pour out of your spirit god sends your fire come on somebody lift up your voice and say god send your

a faithful witness but a faithful servant of my purposes in this generation and even as i've given you a platform and you have wrestled with stewarding the platform the lord says that i've not only branded you but i am going to re-brand you for there shall be a fresh anointing of pentecost that shall rest mightily upon you for the lord says that i see your heart for the harvest [Music] as much as you've enjoyed touching the saints the lord says that there is indeed an anointing upon you for the end time harvest and even as you've sown in faith and you've believed my word the lord says that i'm putting a sickle in your hand tonight [Music] even as i put a staff in the hands of my servants of old i'm putting a staff a sickle in your hands tonight and you will walk in an authority and in an anointing and son don't don't worry because this it's not you there we're gonna i see you alan i see you walking into places and it's the staff it's the authority that's going to rile up other people's fear of loss [Music] they're going to fear the loss of finances they're going to fear the loss of influence [Music] the lord says son i've got you covered they're looking to be covered by a man they're looking to be covered by a ministry the lord says son even tonight i'm breaking off all forms of rejection in your life from not fitting into a particular covering under a particular man
