believe it so we welcome you we welcome those who are joining us online we know that the lord has been touching people we encourage you if you're watching online or even if you're in the room to find the post to find the link of the live stream and to go ahead and share it we know that people are encountering the lord all over from people being able to share it and them streaming it online so we're going to go ahead into a time of worship and we've been worshiping together for several sessions now so no introduction needed on that but we just want to encourage you again for the hunger to be in the room that this isn't let's see what the worship team is going to do and how they're going to coach us and what i might give depending on what it is that they do we want to give the lord our radical worship we want to give him everything we want to give him the freedom all that's in our hearts so we invite you forward if you would like to the altars are open there's room all over the sanctuary but whatever it is that you need to do to give the lord the fullness of your worship it's not necessarily one thing being more holy than another but sometimes we ourself have to get ourselves out of our own funk and out of our own routines and do something different to give the lord all of our worship amen so father we thank you right now lord we release your presence all over

coming to georgia we want to join with you in your intercessions i'm talking to you but i feel like he's saying to us let it rain from the inner man your inner man needs if we actually believe that we're friends of the bridegroom it comes from letting it rain from the inner man this isn't about god doing something it's about you accessing what you're supposed to be doing with him so you groan you cry we've already given you the language we're gonna stop the music and we're gonna cry and we're gonna grow for the next few minutes we're not gonna hype it up cry out to him so strike the ground strike the ground strikes the ground so so where are the fathers and the mothers where are the fathers and the mothers that will groan and labor for this next generation that will hold the line that will break the ground where are the fathers and the mothers where are the fathers and the mothers where are the fathers and the mothers that will labor that will grow god we render hearts may you shine your glory as we are here we are i just hear the lord say i'll answer oh he will answer the crown do you know love can shift a season do you know love can shift a season love can change the course of history with love for this generation of tears gates of heaven let's one more time one last i remember being nine years old my father's church growing up seeing rain and the rain that came was a family and their names were mark and debbie hendrickson from the international house of prayer i want to talk a few minutes about rain that maybe we're not thinking of tonight growing up in a charismatic home i was the son of a pastor we had asked god to send rain we had sang different songs the family from the international house of prayer came and introduced rain and it was called the tabernacle of david how many of you know entertainment worship is a little bit different than the tabernacle of david this was 20 years ago where when they first started introducing it they would set up canvases where you could paint and i remember the disruption it brought the thought that you could actually paint what god was showing you during worship and then they brought pillows and they set a a section in the church of pillows and said why don't you just try to sleep over there and get a dream and then they said maybe what god wants to say tonight isn't on a screen maybe he's going to say something from heaven i remember when rain filled our church called the tabernacle of david and we were introduced to something that turned us upside down see i believe rain can come from heaven but i also believe rain can sometimes come in the forms of models or new testament realities where it shifts your paradigm it changes the way that you think about god in corporate settings and so just being a young boy probably my daughter's age 10 years old i was introduced to this way of encountering god that was off the script that had variety it had diversity it offered different expressions of worship that liberated people from robotic methodical statue christianity greatly impacted my life and changed our local church forever and then they said hey why don't you check out these gatherings called one thing in kansas city where how many of it went to a one thing yeah they they get together at the end of the year they fast there's crazy people there like corey russell and alan hood and dwayne robertson and a guy who rocks named lou engel and i literally remember being 12 years old and i remember lou engel was on a 40-day fast and i i had never even again i saw rain i'm watching this guy rock and i'm thinking how is he rocking so fast without eating any food it's not spiritual at the time but i was exposed to a kind of rain that for year after year after year would change my life remember getting in college and believing that god wanted to release a student awakening but the i all i i just had words so we started taking college students out to kansas city and watching them get rocked by the power of god that's when my wife and i morgan who's here tonight fell in love i remember confessing to her my love for her out of the one thing kansas city i mean who would ever want to live in kansas city it's so cold and there's so much snow and no one wants to eat so fast forward earlier this year where many of you know god asked us to shut down our ministry to just lay it all down and god began to minister to me i had a dream at night that i want to share with you and in the dream i found myself in mike bickle's office and i was crying in mike's office and i was saying to mike where are the corporate gatherings in the earth centered on the return of the lord and i was weeping my heart was pouring out and say mike i miss one thing i miss the large gatherings where are they and he turned around in the dream to a bookshelf and he pulled a scroll off the bookshelf and on it was written friends of the bridegroom and he handed me the scroll and he said you do them and i turned around and i saw alan hood and i saw corey russell and i saw billy humphrey and i saw laura hackett and then the lord said to me in the dream yom kippur weakened this gathering for me personally is more than just another good conference this is something that has been in the heart of god that i believe he wants to birth something fresh in the earth i honestly don't know how much different it's supposed to be than other movements or other moves but i do know there's a fresh anointing of the holy spirit there's a fresh groan in 2021 that god would have mercy on america that he would mark one another for eternity so god began to breathe this gathering this weekend into my heart and then the second dream that i had where i knew i could not turn back was the lord said to me there's a second wave of the prayer movement coming and the second wave will center on marriage and family on the workplace and on a strong unique prophetic anointing and i believe that we are on the precipice in the earth of god uniting movements and pouring out his spirit but as we sang tonight all this began to stir in my heart and i began to cry out to the lord and say lord we've got to get kids here we've got to get youth groups here lord i i know at 9. you sent rain i know it twelve you sent me and it's a dream that my wife and i have in our heart that something would just begin this weekend and that god would rally nations together as we live in the days prior to the return of the lord so i want to just ask you to bow your heads with me we're going to transition but i just i wanted to speak out into the atmosphere prophetically so that with your faith you could reach out where two or three are gathered i'm asking that you would come into agreement that whatever god wants to birth whatever he wants this to look like however he wants to use any of us that he would do it for the glory of his son jesus and so god we just lift our voices lord you spoke this gathering into existence lord i believe that you set this movement into motion and lord i just want to thank you for every person that's here but i want to thank you lord for your word that will not return to you void and so god i'm just asking in the name of jesus would you come and glorify your son lord i pray that marriages would be reconciled that families would be made whole lord that you would invade the marketplace and god we're asking for an unusual prophetic anointing to rest upon your people in these days if you have a prayer language just begin to pray in the holy spirit i just want to pray through this just for two minutes got everything that you have in your heart foreign we honor you jesus come and expose us to new things come and turn our world upside down release paradigms and new ideas and god strategies lord i pray that local churches would be flipped upside down this weekend but i thank you for a company of burning hearts hallelujah in jesus name everybody said well morgan and i have the privilege of taking up the offering tonight we were preparing for the service tonight and i was talking with her just about something that the lord asked us to do around this time last year and i had had a dream this time it was really i guess i had the dream over the summer how many of you have ever had a dream that scared you to death i had had a dream that we wrote a movement at check for twenty five thousand dollars being in the ministry since we've been married we have sowed faithfully as best and as often as we can but this was the greatest thing that god had ever asked us to do and it was one of those dreams where you have it and just act like it never happened anybody ever have one of those dreams and then the negotiations begin and you say well lord in order for this dream to be from you you've got to confirm it and so i was on my way out speaking into this movement and i told morgan all right if this is god they have to ask they have to put the need out there and if they say we're believing god for money for this project that's my cue and i'll never forget sitting in the meeting it didn't take very long at all for it to happen in fact it was like the first meeting when i walked in they said we are believing god we believe that we have not because we ask not how many of you you've ever had that this is the will of god but it sends chills down your spine you ever just get gripped that you you know beyond a shadow of a doubt this is god but oh boy remember texting morgan and saying all right honey this is our moment this is our we sowed that check into that movement believing that god is going to release songs in the end times that will woo the bridegroom to come for the bride then sow it for a card and sow it for a lord if if we give this big amount we're asking to do this and this lord we just said we want to sow into an end-time sound in the earth that will usher into the return of the lord as god is birthing this movement called the altar global i have a dream in my heart that as the lord instructed me you do them the dream that i have in my heart is to host several corporate national gatherings a year under the context of the end times and that we could do them for absolutely free it is a dream in my heart that anyone and everyone including children and youth could attend these conferences free of charge we're currently streaming live for free across the internet but god has given me a real end time vision that we could do this all just all taken care of and so those of you who gathered this weekend and paid a registration free fee we are grateful that you have sown into this building and this facility and all that the lord has done but since morgan and i entered the ministry were always very transparent even with registration costs we're nowhere even close to meeting the budget at this weekend i'm not asking for money for another car i'm not asking for money so that this ministry could get rich i'm just simply believing that we have not because we ask not so i wanted to put the need before us this weekend not only those of you who are here in person those of you online i've never felt right about asking people for something that you yourself aren't willing to sacrifice for and even as morgan and i have laid down our lives and continued to sow and to sow i want to ask those of you who are in this room not just to give to a temporary need this weekend to take care of everybody but to sow into a vision and end time movement that i believe god is birthing in the earth there's going to be some ways to give on your screen if you have a brochure if you have an offering envelope you can just scan the qr code you know those of us who are millennials and so on it's just a quick way but obviously any way that you want to give is good but i'm going to ask morgan to pray for us to pray for this weekend and then i'm going to introduce my older brother corey russell is that good all right ushers you can come forward be prompts on the screen thank you again for coming thank you for sewing into this weekend and making this possible thank you what a joy it is to partake in such an awesome thing for the lord um just wanted to give a quick testimony too of jeremiah and i's marriage at the very beginning right before we got married i heard the lord very clearly say jeremiah is going to be in charge of your finances which should be like a no-brainer he's the head of the house right but really he's the disorganized one he's not the planner that's me i got it all i would have had an excel spreadsheet but the lord quickly said you need to let that go don't look at your bank account and the lord has continued to be faithful to provide for us when we had very little every time the lord told jeremiah to give he gave out of obedience and the lord would provide over and over and over and over again so i wanted to encourage those of you who are in the room when you hear the lord speak obey the lord knows better than we ever can any bank account that you look at he knows and he's faithful to provide for your every need as you're obedient to follow him so god i just ask right now for everybody who's in this room god i just pray over them lord as we steward what you've given us it's yours anyways and we give it right back to you god i ask that you bless this offering and god i ask that you would provide for every single need god you already know the needs of this conference and you know what you're going to call the altar global to do so i ask lord that you would multiply it god in jesus name lord we pray for every speaker that's come god for every attendee hear lord that you would touch them in a deep way god i just see people sitting there knocking on the door of your their heart god that you're knocking and you're knocking and you're knocking god i just pray that people would let you in in new measures god that you would touch the children's hearts that are here there's no junior holy spirit lord that they would hear you and get touched by the lord at such a young age that they can say i went to the friends of the bridegroom conference and got touched in a tangible way that i can't turn away from the lord because i know him to be real i encountered him at a young age and not only did i encounter him but a fire started and then it it multiplied and i started a forest fire of people burning for the lord because it started here lord i pray that you would continue to spread your spirit in a new way god as we worship you and praise your holy name in jesus name amen amen as those buckets are going around i want to invite david up real quick david santiago can we give david a round of applause thank you thank you it's me again how's everybody doing tonight if you've been wrecked say jesus all right well it's not over yet so there's more amen um my name is david i'm part of the staff of the ultra global and i'm just blessed to be here i've heard so many testimonies and it's just a blessing to be here with everyone so we just want to thank all of you who are here tonight those of you who are watching online thank you for watching and to our partners again if you are a partner and you are here can you please stand can we give them a round of applause please thank you thank you again we appreciate you we honor you much of what we do is impossible without the support so we we thank you so i want to share something briefly it'll be pretty quick um last night when alan hood was speaking he said something that's been on my mind all night and all day he said the world and the church need preparation for the return of the lord and i've just been thinking about that and asking the lord lord what does that look like and when i opened the booklet if you look in the booklet a couple pages in it has our core values the ultra global and so there's only two or three that i'm going to touch on briefly and i was asking the lord lord what does preparation look like and he said number one bridal revival a body of believers who are longing for the return of the lord i mean it starts there right if we're not longing for the return of the lord nothing else matters amen the second thing is end time messengers who are equipped and released to not only equip other anti-messengers but also have a burden for souls number two and number three end time messengers and a harvest of souls and i said that this morning that we have an opportunity to be a part of the greatest harvest of souls the earth has ever seen we get to partake in that every single one of us and so that has just gripped me and we have a few more services to go and how much more can we handle right amen so if you are considering to be a partner you've been praying about it there are a couple ways you can do that i think there there's nothing on the screen okay there it is there's a website but there's also a qr code there's one in the booklet i believe there's also one on the envelope behind the seats you scan that and it'll take you right to the website you can see me also outside at the partner table and just to remind you uh partners tomorrow the meet and greet the doors open at 7 30 and we'll get going i believe around 7 45 we'll have a light breakfast coffee which is my favorite i think i told you guys that this morning right and the coffee here is phenomenal i don't care what anybody says i've been drinking coffee since i was nine years old and the coffee here is phenomenal amen but this meet and greet i mean this is one of the best the favorite things that partners love to do at these conferences you get a chance to to sit and and mingle and meet jeremiah talk with jeremiah and morgan and the family you get to meet the alter global team and we just get to be a family and and and we love that um so if if you're not a partner yet and you want to be a part of that meet and greet come see me out at the partner table and i will set you up amen all right jeremiah give him another round of applause amen all right who's ready for corey russell brother russell as many know him he's been a an older brother to me i have felt so blessed in my life i've shared this often we planted a church in 2010 in our living room by about 2012 i had a gigantic congregation of about 40 people and i had grown up as i mentioned going to one thing and watching cory and listening how many of you have ever listened to his prayer cds i literally remember being 19 years old just getting rocked it's like i was wavering and then boom you know cory that oh my gosh but anyways i said as just a small pastor hey you've impacted my life as a young guy i've got a congregation of 40 would you come and i never forget corey russell remembered a little guy and him and then alan hood and then kirk bennett and just so many from the prayer movement came and rocked our little local church in lakeland and so corey it's been an honor to walk with you since those early years and thank you for your friendship as we've made a turn and a transition that i really do believe is for the better cory's got some resources some books the gift of tears teach us how to pray i like reading books from people that are books nothing that he's written he hasn't already lived and i would encourage you if you're impacted tonight or been following him please consider sowing into his resources could you stand to your feet tonight and let's welcome brother russell come on we can do better than that hey man amen grab a seat my goodness that worship was beautiful thank you team thank you laura or as i affectionately call her ldog i've known laura since she was 13 years old yeah yeah that's what i'm saying and i think she's about 19 now so it was a long time ago she looks perpetually 19 years old but uh met her and when i was still in arkansas and she came down with a friend and uh just love her and got so many friends here oh shelly love you so much ran for years with shelly i've got so many friends in this place um it's an honor to be with you guys i feel the presence of the lord i feel the sobriety of the lord the fear of the lord all that kind of stuff i uh i i remember i i love absolutely that we're having a friends of the bridegroom conference i mean my goodness it doesn't get any better than that that's what i got wrecked in 1998 i was engaged to my wife of now 23 years and we were about to get married in august and it was may of 1998 and i came to a conference in kansas city and i heard this guy preach in isaiah 40 preaching about how god's going to raise up hundreds of thousands of john the baptist across the earth that are going to prepare the earth for the second coming of jesus in the same way that john prepared for the first coming of jesus and i i don't remember a lot from that weekend but i do remember laying on the ground for about three days and i kept saying over and over again i don't want to be an echo i want to be a voice i don't want to be an echo i want to be a voice i just kept saying it's all i said i don't want to be an echo i want to be a voice which what i meant by that is i don't want to be just someone who dances around someone else's fire i don't want to be a parrot that just spits back my favorite preacher's message or and because i can say it like them i deceive myself into thinking i know it i don't want to be an echo i want to be a voice i don't want to be an echo i want to be a voice that's all i kept saying i look at people i don't want to be an echo i want to be a voice i want something so real in god that when i open my mouth angels move demons move and the hearts of men and women move i want something you can't get at a mcdonald's and you can't get out of fire tunnel and something you can't get from an impartation service but i wanted to go into those ancient paths that jeremiah talks to us about jeremiah 6. ask for the ancient paths where the good way is he goes you'll find rest for your souls and i said god i'll go to the wilderness i didn't know what that meant i said god i'll go wherever if john if john retreated it says in luke 180. you know they get him to a certain age and it says that he was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to israel the day of his manifestation and as a young boy that he goes out to the wilderness to live amongst this radical group of ascendants radically eating the word of god fasting community giving themselves to the study of the old testament for those years he was reading through leviticus as the holy spirit dropped on him the lamb of god is coming there's coming the pure unblemished lamb of god for the sins of the world and so he got clarity through the pentateuch concerning the lamb of god he would read through the psalms and the prophets he read isaiah 40 so many times he became isaiah 40. you ever read a verse so many times you become a verse do you know what i'm talking about what are you talking about corey they asked him who are you i'm isaiah 40. i am the voice of one crying in the wilderness prepare the way of the lord i am the voice he he read it so many times his identity got wrapped in the verse he went out to the wilderness he read genesis and exodus and leviticus and numbers and deuteronomy and joshua and judges and ruth and psalms and proverbs and isaiah ezekiel jeremiah zechariah malachi he read it he readily read it preparing 20 years in the desert preparing eating the word of god preparing connecting with god in the place of of of seemingly loneliness he lived a place away from the big city he didn't have a notable instagram following nobody knew about him and he's eating the word of god he's eating the word of god he's fasting he's praying he's giving himself to this and then in luke 3 verse 1 it says that in the 15th year of tiberius caesar in the reign of pontius pilate when a bunch of tetrarchs and a bunch of different leaders it says when anas and caiaphas were the high priest in jerusalem it says that the word of god came to john the son of zacharias in the wilderness it's like an electrician running wiring through the whole building through all the little nooks and crannies and little holes clarity about the lamb of god clarity about the bridegroom clarity about the baptizer of fire clarity about the coming messiah clarity clarity getting clear getting clear getting clear just preparing just preparing and then in the 15th year the word of god came to john in the in the wilderness and in one divine moment it was and now everything that he had been eating living studying praying fasting weeping where nobody knew about anything in one divine moment the word of god came to him in the wilderness and he comes out like a man on fire i literally picture it like a meteor shooting through the sky where the word of god should have been coming to the temple in jerusalem it went right on by it went right on by the temple because the lord was doing something new in these days the lord was releasing a new context of receiving the word of the lord a new paradigm to prepare yourself for the prophetic spirit living amongst a group of people praying fasting community going deep with god and each other in the word of god running in friendships that won't talk you out of the deeper life but will propel you into the deeper life not looking to live amongst people that want to live on the 2.0 of christianity at the treadmill of christianity in america and want to say how much can we do and stay saved but a group of people that are saying how far will you let me go and how abandoned will you let me be i literally picture a meteor shooting through the sky in the 15th year the type of the reign of pontius all those guys this is what i want you to see there's real days in real times when preparation matches the day of manifestation oh fire just explodes in the wilderness so anointed so much power the whole nation comes out to him the whole nation comes out to this burning man in the desert preaching about preaching a message of repentance preaching a message of preparation prepare the way of the lord make straight a highway for our god and god would set his fire on that man he would live more time in his ministry would probably be shorter think about this 20 years 20 years of preparation for six to 18 months of ministry is that usually our preparation model for being used by god in america 20 years for six months and he spent more time in prison than he did in ministry that's not our ideas of greatness and success and that's how you're going to change the world yet jesus said he's the greatest man born of a woman the greatest baby that's ever been born outside of jesus is john jesus said that the greatest man born of a woman yet he did no miracles he's greater than moses greater than all the prophets greater than all the signs and wonders greater than all the other people he didn't have that big in that long of a ministry yet jesus says he's the greatest man born of a woman i believe that god in this hour we are in the midst of a transition in the earth we are in the midst of a reformation we are in the midst of a global shift i know i need you to understand that we're in the middle of it right now it's happening it's happening it's been building up over the last decades but i believe 2020 just moved us into a new season as god is shutting it down he's shutting down the machine he's shutting down the us keeping this machine running of how we've done it before and god is calling us to pay attention it's like a malachi 110 shut it down and then in malachi 111 from the rising of the sun incense shall be offered to my name i've been saying it this way i believe that the days of sunday only christianity are over that preach is nice i believe we're going to begin to see a transition because jesus didn't die for 45 minutes and 20 bucks so we can live the other six days 23 hours and 15 minutes of our weeks disconnected from god he's not a slice of your pie he's not a box you check off he's not what good southerners do he is the very beautiful glorious and god is raising up men like david who are going to bring the presence of god back to the center of the people god is going to begin to say this he's going to raise up shepherds and leaders in this hour that are going to put ministry to god back at the forefront and people are going to be as excited about sunday morning they're going to be as excited about monday 6 a.m communities built around the presence getting our children to discern the voice of god at an early age families that minister to god together the spirit of prayer getting back on us that's what john was eaten up by the friend of the bridegroom who stands and hears its priestly language standing and hearing standing before the lord hearing his word gazing on his face ministering to his heart that's what the friends of the bridegroom their hands aren't on the people they're before the lord they're looking at him they're hearing him they're connected with the zeal of the bridegroom for the bride as alan said so beautifully last night they're connected to him and as best man at the wedding their whole job is connecting with the bridegroom's passion for the bride connecting with the the love the zeal of the bridegroom for the bride and their job is introducing the bride to the bridegroom i believe we're seeing a new wine skin that's beginning to form because we're going to see a restoration of john the baptist prophets once again we're going to see the release of the this is the thing about john john didn't even when we talk about prophets most of us think about extra biblical information well that was really prophetic which means it was something new you know what john did he read bible verses and then he said them let's talk about a restoration of the prophetic you want to get prophetic read the bible until it lives on the inside of you and you read it in empty rooms in boring rooms boring prayer rooms and you read it and you pray it i am i'm the voice of one crying in the wilderness make straight and you read it and weeks turn into months and years into decades of lots of not awesome times and then you stand before people or you're over a coffee or you're on you're writing a blog or you're making a video or you're talking to a friend or you're discipling your kids see the forerunner spirit is being played out it's the new form he's going to touch all of us with this anointing it's not about how big the sphere is that's up to god you don't really have any control over that anyway and in whatever room you have to knock down to get in you got to use the same energy to keep it open and kick everybody else away see that's the forerunner spirit that's the friend of the bridegroom you could care less about open doors your reward is standing and hearing he's delivering us from how from the model of leadership with that we've seen that's looking for their open door looking for the opportunity that's going to change it all and he's raising up a new breed of leaders a new breed of prophets that already understand the door is open i ain't playing i ain't playing i've got audience with god anything else when i talk to people is a step down i want to go get so lost in god people got to go on a search to find me it's a whole new model waiting for my door to get open my door's open it's called to the throne i don't know if y'all believe me he's raising up biblical prophets that read bible verses and got to test it with power why because the words they say come from lives they live that's why we have to turn into entertainment to give us something new because there's such a divorce between what the preacher says and how the preacher lives we got to come up with special stuff to get your attention i believe that god wants to raise up communities that we fall madly head over heels in love with the word of god my desire for you is that the word of god would become your number one source of entertainment that it would log more hours this month than netflix that it would get up into your daydreams and into your life john goes i am the voice of one crying in the wilderness and everybody ran outside to the wilderness and said what must we do what do we got to do that's why he was more than a me that's why he was more than a prophet his life prophesied a transition in the earth his very existence prophesied something is coming upon the earth that the earth is never seen god is about to step down take on flesh and walk among us and in these kinds of hours of transition it requires a different kind of preparation and a different kind of life don't hear me there are transitional periods in history and in those transitions god requires his people to live in a different way to prepare for that transition in the earth noah's message for 120 years what are you doing just just hammering away why what are you doing the water comes from the ground buddy he goes no there's something the earth has never seen there's something the earth's never seen in my life every day as you walk by me and make fun of me i want you to know something's coming i want you to know something's coming and for 120 years he was an idiot until that first drop of rain and when the drop of rain came and when the stock market crashed noah was the wisest man in the planet transitions john lived in a certain way and i want you to know when you get a revelation of the urgency of the hour that we're living in it's not intense it's reasonable and i believe he wants to lay hold of us with a new kind of intentionality screams to the world around us even in the church it's a lie the definitions of greatness and grandeur and success and being awesome it's a lie the greatest joy is found discovering his face hearing his voice feeling his heart commit communing with him and when that becomes your number one reward and not a door that gets open god can trust you with open doors and actually alan hit that beautifully last night i love it that's why he says but the friend of the bridegroom he stands and hears him rejoices greatly all right i believe he's calling anyway i just feel like i've hit the point y'all with me all right good everybody take a deep breath these communities of prayer and fasting weak people showing up to weak prayer meetings reading bible verses and singing them and they're not being that awesome but yet you believe in the wisdom of it you believe in the power of it of showing up when you don't feel like it showing up when you do feel like it showing up and reordering your whole life building schedules that facilitate prayer meetings building schedules that facilitate a life before god in his word living with intentionality i believe that's what he's calling us to in this hour that's the shift and i believe we're going to see the prophetic spirit get restored in this context there's a call to prayer in this hour that's what john lived in he's awesome i love john this is mostly my introduction i just love that somebody said friend of the bridegroom conference i believe we're in a global shift because the days are changing i believe we're starting to see really clearly the psalm 2 rage of the nations i believe we're seeing the rage of the nations we're seeing the king setting themselves against the lord and against his anointed we're seeing judges and rulers and billionaires and major players and nations coming to the table together joining together in the same conspiracy and unified resistance to god and his son saying it's time to get delivered from the old guy in the old book it's time to throw off the bonds and the cords of god's word there's a generation that's this is why he's calling us into this hour to get tender before the word of god because we're seeing a generation arise that wants to throw off the bonds and the chords of this book we're seeing a generation that says who is god to define my truth god's archaic the book's archaic we're we're in this century who is god to dictate who i want to love how i want to live who i want to marry how i want to be who is god to to mandate these archaic views on me this is why the shift's happening is to get us tender before the word because you're either going to come underneath the word and get tender in the word or you're going to see them as restrictions to your personal freedoms or you're going to see them as restraints to how you want to live when the word of god begins to get up into that secret lust issue you've hung out with for 20 years when it begins to get up into your business with how you respond to rejection how you respond to shame how you respond to those cycles and the word of god gets up in your business and you shuck it off god wants to bring forth the people who get tender before the word of god who become vulnerable before the word of god that's why psalm 1 and 2 go hand in hand you're either going to get caught in the council of the ungodly are you going to get count you're going to get counsel from the godhead psalm 2 david's seeing something unprecedented he's seeing nations raging king setting judges plotting and rulers taking counsel together and david goes why it's insanity it doesn't make any sense why are you doing this i picture david it's almost like he's watching the first three verses on fox just going this ain't going to happen you guys are building a sand castle it's going to come down god's going to win god's going to win and there's an anxiety and a perplexing about david as he's watching and the lord wants us to feel it but hear me this is where we get in trouble church we'll feel it and we'll just stay right here on this level as we try to answer all the problems fix all the problems and we think all of our talking with each other is dealing with the problem the lord wants us to feel it at this level but he doesn't want us to engage in the battle from this level that's why we're going in the next three verses look at this it says he who sits in the heavens everybody say in the heavens we're about to see the father's perspective about the same reality the father's perspective say it again say in the heavens say in the heavens church it's an hour to come up here no no no it's an hour to come up to come out and come into the throne room to come into a different perspective to begin to let the realm of the throne room fill your mind fill your heart fill your perspective we need the realm of the throne room to catch us up where is jesus he's not on the cross he's at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens far above every principality ruler and dominion he has the name that's above every name that at the name of jesus every knee bows and every tongue confesses he is higher it says in hebrews 4 he's passed through the heavens he's seated at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens lift your eyes saints no no do it lift your heads look up you're like well i i want to be earthly good i promise you you get heavily minded you will if you actually get heavenly minded you'll be earthly good you'll be useless until then all you'll do is fill up the echo chamber all you'll do is put in your three cents into those facebook comments those two cents ended well i don't know what's going on world's going to hell in a basket i don't know it's just rough days oh what's going to happen here oh my god he's that president i don't know about that what's happening here how could he do that over there it ain't doing nothing are they changing anything shut up shut up shut up that right there is the exposing of the loss of priestliness in the church we're not a priestly people anymore we're not a priestly people because we talk before we look you talk before you look which is the very indictment we've lost priesthood in the church and that's why we don't have prophetic in the church it's because our first answer is to respond and think those three cents are changing something we've got to get a restoration of words and they get born out of silence words are born from silence john was born from barrenness john was born out of silence voices come out of silence priesting in silence walking and pacing in silence looking in silence learning how to lift your head instead of letting the current news story grip your heart with fear and anxiety coming out guys these are tremors and we're making a d-minus on this test we ain't seen nothing yet the lord told me very clearly at the beginning of 2020 if you run with the footmen and they wore you out how will you do with the horses in the floodplain of the jordan which means if you're worn out at a 2.0 on your treadmill oh crossfit instructor's about to kick this thing up to an eight and it's not going to be about human wisdom and human power and wherever we're going to do it no it's a people who have learned to transfer their strength into the strength of god and where does that come from saints the very last verse of isaiah 40 those who wait on the lord shall renew shall tap in shall access eternal resources and not human power and charisma you get that through waiting you get that through silence you get that through priesting and when you begin to learn how to ascend guess what fills you a holy laugh holy confidence begins to fill your heart you begin to enter into the father's confidence that no matter how many coalition of nations no matter how many conglomeration of the greatest kings and trillionaires get all into the same room and get all into the same unity and they try to huff and they puff you will enter into the father's eternal confidence you will enter into that heavenly confidence that sees above the storm and you go there is something that has been settled before eternity was ever came before creation ever came there's been something born in the heart of god and no matter how many nations try to overthrow the plan no matter how many kings try to overthrow the plan there's already been one vote and it was established in eternity and the father's already made his vote i have sent my king on my holy hill of zion one king in one city and no devil is going to overthrow it friends it's time to get up there it's time and i'm speaking to your spirit right now we're going to get up there jesus said in the world you'll have tribulation be of good cheer i've overcome the world then what do you do saints do you know how to lift your eyes do you know how to go up do you know how to ascend no no i'm asking you do you know how to how to ascend instead of worshiping your circumstances do we know how to break through clouds and lock eyes with the one on the throne hey hey hey it's time to learn how to ascend saints get your hands up get your eyes up get your spirit mighty in god it's not about the strong shall survive it's about the weak ones who have learned to trade in their weakness for his strength this thing ain't for corey and alan and billy and jeremiah and a handful of people they're the strong ones no we're all pathetically weak but can you stop worshiping your weakness and actually trade it in for his strength i'll give you my two loaves and five fish do what you want in my life god i'll believe you that your strength really is made perfect in my weakness oh father's laugh and i have set my king i like this father in psalm 2. i love all the faces of father i love the father that embraces prodigal sons the father that runs out to older sons and says quit it just enjoy being my son and quit trying to work for my affection father's always running outside but the father in psalm 2 is saying none of you jokers are going to overthrow what i've planned to give my son what is jesus doing when nations are raging no father's laughing what's jesus doing jesus is probably laughing first off that's the most terrifying verse in all the scriptures when god laughs what's jesus and his people doing when nations are raging what are they doing they're making eye contact with the father they'll be found in prayer rooms to be found in the place of intimacy making eye contact with the father and this is what they're going to do in psalm 2 verse 7 jesus comes to the forefront and david overhears the conversation between the father and the son as jesus says i will declare the decree the lord has said to me get that i want to tell everyone here the altar global and those that are viewing the revelation of intercession is going to fill the church across the earth and intercession doesn't start with your prayer list and it doesn't start with you yelling it starts with you hearing something which then requires once again you to shut up it requires silence it requires open bibles open hearts open spirits and that's where the father speaks and out of the overflow of hearing you then speak back to him what he's spoken over you and that's what releases his kingdom what's the first thing father declares over his people beloved identity you are my son you are my son hear me i can hear the holy spirit saying kids it's getting late it's time to come on in the house it's getting late it's time to come on into the house you've been screaming in the front yard way too long you've been working hard for my approval too long you've been fooling around with those little pet demons too long kids it's getting late it's time to come into the house the house is the house of prayer it's the house of intimacy the house of acceptance and the house of inheritance it's where religious ceilings get broken open and you begin to see through kingdom eyes and you begin to get a bigger view than god just helping you through another week but you begin to see that he is the lord who sits above the nations first thing that jesus declares back to abba is i'm your boy i belong to you do you have any idea what you look like to abba do you have any idea how dearly beloved you truly are do you have any idea how much he enjoys you and takes pleasure in you do you have any idea the royal blood that's pumping through your veins and that holy seed that's dwelling on the inside of you you belong to him i'm calling you into the house and then the father looks at the sun he goes you see those nations raging ask me for them and i'll make them your inheritance and the holy spirit spoke to me and he told me he said corey i'm going to make your greatest places of warfare your greatest places of inheritance i've spent in 2014 i was in mexico city with alan on january 2nd 2014 and the holy spirit said i'm going to give you the revelation of intercession and he dropped psalm 2 on me and i've been living in it for the last seven years he's been teaching me how to come out of the front yard and come into the house and enter into a place of authority and to begin to see my greatest places of warfare become the greatest places of inheritance jesus is asking the father the rule of the kingdom is asking jesus is asking what does that tell you about the nature of his rule what does that tell you about the humility of dependence what does that tell you about asking for the things that he told you to ask him for what does that do to strike in the face of we've got enough gifting enough money and enough resources to change the world and he says i want you asking me for that which i've already given you why do i gotta ask you to take your stubborn heart and unite it to his he is releasing a cry for inheritance a cry for inheritance some in this age but mostly in the ages to come he's delivering us from my calling now and he's beginning to put legacy prayers on the inside of us he's beginning to deliver us from me getting a little bit more stuff to have a nice life and he's putting generational prayers on the inside of us i'm after something bigger than my calling and my little run over the next 20 or 30 years i want a great great grandkid in 20 80 or 2150 to be walking in realities in god because of a great great great grandfather that said yes to asking for something bigger trade it in for something eternal see that's what john did john cashed in the calling now for something eternal that's what he wants to restore in this hour i want something generationally i want something where fire falls when someone mentions my name 100 years after i'm dead because god gets stirred up when he thinks about me don't you want god don't you want to stir him up solomon david's done died solomon goes at the dedication of the temple i got one thing that i know god you get vulnerable over remember david fire fell from heaven that's what i'm after psalm 2 delivered me from my calling it delivered me from my nice ministry and it put something eternal on the inside of me it put something generationally on the inside of me ask of me see god's releasing and bringing us into a new kind of praying it's revival praying revival praying friends we were touching some of it during worship tonight that's what the holy spirit's saying tonight we're moving into revival praying it's con it's intimacy based intercession intimacy based intercession we don't need a bunch of widows and orphans screaming in the front yard i'm a screamer so it's not about screaming and not screaming it's about do you know you have his eyes do you know you have his ears do you know you have his heart and do you know you have his hands because he made us all differently and some of us scream and some of us don't that don't matter the point is is there a scream in your spirit is there a shout with clout is there a whisper with clout is there something real you're like that's not my personality i don't care what your personality is does god move when you whisper revival praying is coming to the church god's been whittling us down he's been wearing us out he is the greatest wrestler in all of history he's never lost a battle he messed around with jacob all night it says in genesis 32 24 when jacob was left alone there's 23 23 years in that verse how long it takes god to wear a good man down how long it takes god till you run out of options and plan b's and escape hatches jacob's coming back into the land and he hears his brother esau's coming after him he starts getting afraid as his greatest fears coming upon him so he starts diversifying his portfolio sends servants wives soldiers all in different directions and finally jacob is left alone and what does he see coming on the other side of the brook a man who is god who's walking on the other side of the brook and jacob's going who are you why why are you here and that man laid hold of jacob and entered into a midnight wrestle with jacob entered into a midnight wrestle with jacob and in that midnight wrestle jacob manipulators the planter turned into israel and he got the face of god he's releasing hannah's prayer in these days something about year by year trying to put makeup on your barrenness plastic smiles hallelujah it's all good running from your greatest pains she tried to play nice christianity with a barren womb she tried to run from her greatest pain and that wife that other wife provoked her again and the dam began to break and it says that she was in bitterness of soul and she wept in anguish and she prayed to the lord i feel like that's what god's trying to do with the american church i feel like he's trying to release a bitterness of soul a weeping in anguish and a hey listen a new prayer a prayer that changes history a prayer that changes everything it was so loud this is how loud it was no words were coming out no audible loud nobody could hear it but god could and the saddest part of this verse is that eli the high priest thought she was drunk it had been so long since the spiritual leadership of the day had seen the spirit of prayer resting on someone he thought she was drunk i believe with all my heart this kind of praying is coming back to the church tears are coming back to the church tongues i'm not talking about your channel hayes that you fall down i'm talking about the deep guttural tongues of the holy spirit romans 8 26 those groanings which are too deep to be uttered travail is coming to the church our church services we're going to see birthing rooms mascara is about to start flowing ladies you're not which means this it's not going to be a respectable church strutting into the next season it's not going to be us looking awesome with a little bit of jesus and us changing the world there's been four day delays but i believe it's calling forth a mary a company like mary of bethany who will fall at the feet of jesus with tears in their eyes and go i don't understand why you didn't get here earlier i know who you are i know what you can do but i don't understand why you haven't gotten here and she refuses to get into either hyper faith and optimism or hyper depression and she gets into a true faith that knows who god is but doesn't understand what's going on and pours her heart out in the gap that's true faith it's not buzz words t-shirts fake smiles it's a faith that doesn't understand but ain't going anywhere and that's the stuff that awakens the groaning god that's what gets god groaning i want to get god groaning i want to get god groaning i want to get god groaning and i want to get him active where have you laid him and then we see the longest verse in the bible it's not a sniffle guys i'm believing it was around 30 minutes think about the people that you really weep in front of it's usually one or two usually one where they see the ugly crying but god in the flesh steps down into our humanity and in front of the whole world for all of history god weeps he knows what he's going to do from the beginning why didn't he translate to the resurrection of lazarus what is it about the weeping room that brings you into resurrection psalm 126 those who sow in tears reaping in joy we love the joy the sowing and tears the crushing the oil that gets produced that she's going to pour out on jesus in the next season gets produced in the john 11 crushing he's taking us past words he's taking us past solutions he's getting us to our knees and he's provoking a new prayer i believe if one of the great indictments of 2020 is i believe the hardness of heart that has touched the church we're not tender anymore we've got strong opinions with dry eyes i don't trust anybody with strong opinions with dry eyes we need words that have been born in tears and bathed in tears i remember leonard ravenhill saying broken men break men and it's not broken as if he's got issues i'm talking about men that are broken over their own state and the state of the world those are the words that are going to break through the chatter again i believe he's taking psalm 56 as he stores your tears in bottles i believe he's turning water into wine in this season i believe we're going to see tears of restoration many of you have been estranged from loved ones joseph is reuniting with his brothers again i believe there's tears for israel that are coming upon his people in this hour jeremiah 9 oh that my head were a fountain of tears hallelujah intercession's coming back to us hallelujah we're gonna get our words again we're going to get words again but they're going to be born out of silence and brokenness we're going to get words again church but it's going to come in time and in his process we're going to get phrases that cut again i want phrases that cut oh holy spirit holy spirit holy spirit i thank you lord you are going to send the reign of the holy spirit we are going to see the greatest outpouring of the holy spirit we've ever seen but there's not a new formula to seeing it it's brokenness and prayer create your presence holy spirit you're like what do i do here's the gift of tears it's the revelation that you can't do nothing so that's your prayer is give me the revelation of my inability to do anything and tears will come sometime god i ask you for the gift of tears i ask you for the gift of tears i ask you for revival praying to fill your people as the world becomes hardened and enraged and lawless and confused and chaotic i pray that your people would become more tender and more broken and more humble and go lower god i pray that you would do this i want to ask you to stand uh huh

lock eyes with you we thank you for god so great yet so humble that you allow humanity first to lock eyes and then to carry your heart to literally carry the weeping heart of god the one who weeps and groans you actually allow us to come in to the groaning weeping heart of god father we thank you that you are turning and shifting your bride that you are taking us out of the shallow things of american life and into the things of eternity father we thank you for every heart that was marked tonight god the weight of your presence things inexplicable to so many of the ways that you touched them the ways that you experienced and encountered lord we ask tonight you would mark and seal hearts right now god things that go beyond the mind and understanding that you've touched people we ask right now that you would seal those things in the name of jesus a marking that would continue to be carried on your soul lord the groanings that were released by the holy spirit that were too deep for words we ask seal those now mark oh god god i'm asking that this would be beyond a one-time moment of something that they look back on that cannot be explained that happened one time god we ask that this would be a beginning of a marking of a groan that would be released by your church and your bride for years to come draw us deeper into your heart god lord we thank you for the privilege the undeserved privilege to tap into the very heart of the eternal god what is man that you are mindful of him father we thank you for the privilege of your heart tonight we thank you we thank you i just want to encourage with one thing tonight for those of you had encounters that maybe you're not even sure have words for explaining which we've already been through the verse it's biblical holy spirit releasing groans that words can't even utter i just want to encourage with this years ago as the lord began to do this in my own heart i would immediately want to shut down something i did not have an explanation for something that my mind could not readily put words to and over time i began to realize that the holy spirit would do something inside of me that i didn't even have words or language to understand but i begin to release the understanding for the moment and let the lord do something in my heart and when i did that i would find that over a period of time the holy spirit would unfold and unpack what he implanted in my spirit man sometimes the holy spirit needs to do something deep inside of our spirit that he will continue to unlock and unfold to us so i want to encourage to allow what the holy spirit is doing on the inside to continue to grow and to manifest and he can bring forth the rest amen amen we appreciate corey tonight what he brings and carries so thankful for him tomorrow we're going to gather at 9 30 we'll be together doors will open at 8 30. we just want to remind that we have our meet and greet in the morning partners this is one of our favorite times that
