Hell-Shaking Prayer || We Need This Now More Than Ever 2019

[Music] hell shaking prayer hell shaking prayer go to daniel if you will please the sixth chapter now daniel's main occupation though was prayer he was a busy busy man at 80 years of age he's assigned to be president over these princes in the province his time alone with god took president precedence over everything that he did now this man was over all the intellectuals he was over the astrologers he he was made the the main leader over the whole province now this is a busy man you understand this there's no man can be in that position without being a lost busy man but nothing could take away his time for prayer three times a day this man stole away from all his occupation from all of this his his burdens and his uh leadership needs and he slept he slipped away and spent time with the lord at 80 years of age he got his direction on his knees this man never had to call a conference he never had to go to a committee meeting to get answers he never had to take a roll call he never had to do this he prayed and god answered his prayers this was a man who heard from god because it was a man of prayer the scripture says very clearly nebuchadnezzar for example has a dream none of his astrologers or sorcerers or magicians can interpret the dream and he has decreed that they all be killed and this included the wise men this was a death warrant not against all the astrologers and wise men and intellectuals of his time that surrounded the court they couldn't interpret his dreams and he said since you can't dissolve my doubts you're dead there's no purpose for your being alive daniel receives this message and he calls a meeting with his three praying friend shadrach meshach and abednego and they didn't try to interface they didn't try to take a survey among the jews to find out how they could find some plan to cause survival of the jewish nation they prayed the bible says they went to their knees they went to their knees to hear from god daniel the second chapter slip over to slip back this to the second chapter of daniel if you will please and look at verse 20 through 22 daniel answered and said see he's prayed and he's got the answer now and he said blessed be the name of god forever and ever for wisdom and might are his he changes the times and the seasons he removes kings and sets up kings he gives wisdom to the wise knowledge to them that no understanding he revealeth the deep and secret things he knoweth what is in the darkness and the light dwelleth with him now where did daniel get that he got it no other place than in the secret closet of prayer he got it seeking the face of god the old testament church at this time was at its lowest point it's in captivity the spirit of babylon had gotten a hold of all the people the praises of god had been silenced they had lost their song the scripture says and satan is set on destroying israel because out of israel is going to come the seed out of this nation is the seed christ the messiah who's going to destroy the power of satan the devil knows that and he's trying to destroy the royal seed he's trying to destroy the seed jesus christ and it was satan himself who initiated this decree you know these men didn't initiate it themselves it had to come from demonic instruction the world is not impacted by super churches the world is not impacted by massive buildings or massive memberships it's impacted only by holy ghost sin exposing truth that gets into the heart and changes it that is the only thing that impacts the world the world is not impressed about a church in a theater on broadway if people came in here and did not hear something that struck their heart if they did not expose the deep sin that's hidden in their heart if the holy ghost wasn't here it's just another show when the nation begins to see the handwriting on the wall when judgment becomes so evident in this nation they're not going to be turning to prosperity preachers they're not going to be talking to those who said all is well when the finger appears and it handwriting is on the wall and i see that finger appearing right now the finger is already here and when that finger begins to write judgment and everybody knows it's beginning to happen there had better be some daniels around who can read the times there should be there had better be some praying people not only in the pulpit but in the pew who know what god is doing who are not afraid who have the answer because everybody's going to be like nebuchadnezzar they're going to have doubts they're going to have fears there will be churches all over the united states and around the world when people get up right in the middle of the servant i'll tell you how many skits do you think they're going to be when the handwriting comes how many jokesters in the pulpit how much straw is going to be preached and given and fed to the people when the people are losing everything they have many are going to be losing their houses and their lands and their possessions and they're going to get up right in the middle of the message and say pastor what's happening what's going on you didn't tell us you didn't warn us i get tired of warning yes i get tired of the word doomsday preacher i get worried about yes in my flesh but there's something in my heart i know that when the handwriting comes on the wall it's going to be just like nebuchadnezzar who has the answer who understands the times who can dissolve my doubts we had better be there we had better be men and women of god on our knees he turned to his p he turned to his astrologer he said you're stalling you don't have the answer and i see that stalling in the pulpit today because men have lost touch with god ver i thank god for the praying preachers but there are so few so few like the man i told you about pastor 1200 people asked me and my wife out for dinner and his wife said we ask y'all because my husband has a confession she said honey you better tell him or i'll tell him i thought it was going to be adultery and he blurred out says he's the pastor david he said i don't he said i have to acknowledge your preaching got a hold of me he said i have not prayed in one year i've not prayed in one year successful pastor people church growing in in because there were certain people coming who wanted to hear what he had to say because there was no power in it to convict them folks i want you to know that when hard times come when people are in trouble when they're sick and afflicted they're having family problems and things go wrong they're not wanting empty foolish candy cotton preaching they don't want something that tells them they're all right they want to hear the truth they want it unadulterated they want it even piercing if it necessary they want the truth he said i need my doubts dissolved you're a pastor here for church i'm telling you you would better be a man of prayer in the days ahead ahead because your people are going to want their adults their doubts resolved they're going to want a man in the pulpit that can stand there and reassure them what is happening in what is coming in the near future i'm amazed at the terrible misconception in the church world today about what the world wants you see all these polls and everything else they've come up with these ideas that that work only in a time of prosperity of when all things are well but none of these things work when the handwriting appears none of it works when the difficult times are coming and people's families are breaking up and their children are going on to going to drugs and and and their their bank accounts begin to diminish the finger of god is on the wall now we have a bill shaz and a thousand lords trembling a thousand lords who don't need a skit a thousand lords who are shaking a thousand politicians who don't know what's happening a thousand politicians that are astonished what is happening nobody has an answer they're in fear and trembling and daniel comes on the scene and they tell us that people don't want to hear preaching about sin anymore they tell us that you have to be non-confrontational there's a church in san diego uh charismatic church that advertises i told you this this ain't your mama's church 15 minutes of singing 15 minutes of lecture and football scores during the service wait wait till the wall your finger appears daniel comes on the scene not to flatter he doesn't come to give them what they think they want he knows because they've been on the knees what they need listen to what he said thou belshazzar you have not humbled your heart you have lifted up yourself against the lord of heaven your days are numbered your kingdom is finished your weight and god's balance your found wanting because azer it's all over he told it like it was he told it unadulterated untainted and they loved it they wanted it they put a gold neck on his chains the satin rope on him and make him the third ruler of the whole kingdom it's what they wanted to hear they wanted fruit that would set them free folks we came to new york city to start a church and when we first saw a whole row of transvestites when i looked down one day and saw these men dressed looked like very pretty women some very pretty blondes i'm not making fun but i'm i stood there and said oh god what kind of preaching is going to take drug addicts alcoholics people that were raising hands praising the lord and still performing in these shows that were vile and filthy what kind of preaching non-confrontational am i going to come down with a pad and pencil and line them up and say now what would you like me to preach so that i could keep you coming back do you want the organ out you don't like the songs up here tell me what you want we'll give it to you never this church would be empty [Applause] this church would have been closed in six months they would have left us out of town because every one of those down there were hungry they had doubts that needed to be resolved they wanted the truth and it came forth with power and unction and love and grace and it changed their lives and many of them are here some of them are in the house tonight let me talk to you about the perils of a praying man this is one of the occasions that i call the conspiracy of interruptions i'm certain the devil conspired with these co-presidents to involve daniel in job-related busyness that would take him away from the secret closet ask preachers today why they don't pray one after another i have no time by the time i have i fulfill all the demands made on my time i can't do it all i have time to do is to go and many go to the bible just to find a text and preach on it they go to the biologist to get a sermon and and you ask any businessman that's that's not praying anymore why i i i just don't have the time it's a conspiracy of interruptions right out of hell the philosopher corn and a soren kierkegaard referred to business of christians as a narcotic i don't agree with everything kierkegaard writes but he has some powerful warnings to busy christians he said it leads to double-mindedness he spoke of men falling deeper and deeper into busyness while their love for the truth slipped more and more into oblivion he said it's a massive connections the stimuli of activity ever increasing calls upon one's time the more impossible for any to understand the danger he's in the mirror of god's word is there but you have to stand still to see a reflection but he said the busy man is now moving so fast he has no time to reflect he rushes by now and he sees nothing he may even carry the mirror in his luggage but he doesn't take it out to see and look and judge himself worst of all the busy man is in worse condition than a man with a life killing disease because that man though he may not be able to stop the deadly disease he sees the symptoms growing worse but the busy man has a condition becomes more and more agreeable more and more comfortable the disease of busyness is easier to excuse he becomes less prayerful less conscious about the things of god and his convictions begin to wane and finally his actions prove that he's lost the heat of his convictions but daniel was wide awake to this this attempt to try to get him so busy he was no longer in the secret closet of prayer he prayed in spite of it even knowing that he would end up in the lion's den and you know the rest of the story the decree calling for a 30-day moratorium on prayer was signed in daniel winds up in the lion's den how does a matter of woman become a matter of woman of prayer what was it that motivated daniel to pray so powerfully and shake hell that the devil had to organize the whole empire to try to shut him down he was that effective one man was that effective with god what what what is it that brings about a praying method a man at 80 years of age is praying with more intensity than when he was a young man here's an 80 year old man that is seeing clearer than he's ever seen he's hearing from god clearer than he's ever heard before he's 80 years of age and he's lost nothing of the touch of god what was it about him what motivated him where did he get that desire to pray that motivation to pray i want to know because i'm getting up there you see daniel lived in the new york of his day he lived in a time of spiritual apathy of drunkenness love of money and great temptations and he's a busy leader and he lived in a time when when very few were praying but why would an 80 year old preacher pour his heart out to god so perfectly in the face of a lion stand you see prayer does not come natural flesh and the devil conspire against it and it's so easy to start praying that it's hard to continue in it so many have been called to prayer and started and maintained it for a while and and then begin to wane over and over but you see in time of spirits of the clenching and prior to judgment god has always all through the bible the scripture said has gone looking he's gone searching for those that were seekers after him remember in jeremiah the fifth chapter don't turn there we hear god pleading run to and fro through the streets of jerusalem see now and seek if you can find a man that executed judgment that seeks the truth and i'll pardon he said i i'll pardon all the sins if i can just find one man that would seek my heart here were people who no longer grieved her sin they refused correction they were fully fed and blessed and prospered committing adultery now running with harlots and they broken all the bonds of morality and god says i'm just looking for a praying man i'm looking for a seeker after my own heart you find it again in ezekiel 23 when you read of the of the times similar to ours a conspiracy of the prophets ministers ravening wolves raving after innocent souls stealing from the poor and the widows priests who violate god's law pastors profaning his holy things putting no difference between the holy and the unholy hiding their eyes from sin prophets full of vanity preaching lies false prophets saying thus saith the lord when god said no such thing god's people were oppressed and robbed and vexed and god cries out i seek for a man among you that should make up their heads and stand in the gap before me that i should not destroy but i found none god forbid that he should be in this house tonight seeking you seeking me and find us not god forbid it should happen in this generation espressing among those who are seekers and it's that person that's in the word of god it's the person that's beginning to read the times through the word you can't know the times except through being shut in with god in this word you don't know what's coming you don't know what's going to come to your life you don't know what's happening but this is how a man of prayer a woman of prayer is made by the hand of god not only faith comes by reading the word of god but a spirit of prayer from the holy ghost comes through being shut in with god this is where daniel got his knowledge that's where he got his wisdom he was a man just like you and me he's a man of like passions he was not a saint any more than you and i are as far as being perfect and after he read that he said i set my face to the lord god to seek my prayer and supplication and begin to fast with sackcloth and ashes and i prayed to the lord my god you see daniel being a man of word becomes a man of prayer you can't become a man or woman of prayer without being a man or woman of the word the praying man who shakes hell is the one to whom god has revealed the conditions of his church and that man humbles himself and identifies with that condition he identifies with it daniel's discovered the time for god to bless his church as company looks at the church and he says god may be ready to bless but we're not ready to receive he looked at the saddened condition of the church of that day and he said we're satiated with the sins of babylon we've become prosperous and comfortable we've drifted from the moral standards that we once honored and god i believe put this grief in daniel's heart he said god is ready to restore his church he's ready to revive but we're no condition to respond to god's desire because our minds are polluted babylon is on the brink of destruction it's on its last legs but we are divorcing we're indulging our minds have been corrupted our families are falling apart we're breaking god's laws we're ignoring the warnings of the prophets we're no longer obeying god we've drifted away from it's all in the ninth chapter go home and read it it's all there pray for revival like you will talk about everything god wants to do and he does and god has a heart to bless his people and bless his church and bless your family and mine but if our minds are polluted with the things of this world if we are not seeking his face we are in opposition to receive his blessings today we have the interest we have the internet superhighway now listen to me please and i i am not exaggerating i have i can back it up i've seen it in the papers and i've seen other accounts 90 not of content but of activity on internet 90 is pornography i was handed a letter this morning from a school teacher that's in this church and probably here tonight she said the they're monitoring the the uh 15 16 year olds is there on the computers and they they called from maine off and said look look at in your classroom and 15 year olds were into pornography watching terrible filth folks we've lost a whole generation of kids and i've often wondered why teenagers of christian parents can come to this church i have preached sometimes under such an anointing i knew that the spirit of the lord was on me as if i were in heaven and i knew that i stood between heaven and hell as as a man standing in the gap and i've seen christian teenagers sit right in this church with their hands folded down board and chewing gum and i said how can that happen when hardened old-time sinners are getting up and walking down the island somewhere shaking and their knees trembling and a teenager sitting there chewing gum totally untouched until you find out their minds have been satiated and they can't get those visions out of their mind because if you're watching pornography sir or ma'am and there are many of you here sitting here right now you're tuning in you're watching that field and it's saturday in your mind and that's why you don't pray that's why don't you read it that's why you're not reading your bible you got your mind polluted and here's the prayer that shakes hair it's the matter woman who sees the condition god shows them the condition of the church in the nation and something rises up because he's been in the word or she's been to the word says oh god i don't want to be a part of this i don't want to get caught up in this world the the cesspool of iniquity i don't want my eyes polluted i don't want to be a part of this i don't care who doesn't pray i'm going to pray i don't care who doesn't read the bible i'm going to read my bible i want nothing to do with it in the cry of my heart night and day i'm starting to take on ministers conferences and i'm saying oh god i'm too old to care what people think anymore my god we're losing a whole generation we're losing our kids even in this church we have people can sit in church and be unmoved because they're in the filth preachers all over the nation i had a minister friend who went to germany and the superintendent of a pentecostal movement said don't mention pornography because almost every preacher that's in our meeting goes to bed at night with pornography and i cry oh god where are the voices where are the people they cry out against the where are the praying people and i say god whatever it takes whatever it takes keep me on my knees hallelujah [Music] folks i don't produce conviction i can't move anybody's heart if you've been moved by the holy ghost tonight if god's touched you he put anything he put his finger on anything in your life i'm taking a step tonight i want you to forgive me for drifting you know people who backslide don't even know they're backsliding they become that's the narcotic kierkegaard talked about i don't know how to give an older call tonight except if you're not right with god this is the time if you've been backslidden if you're not right with jesus come and if god's putting his finger on something obey him don't say no to the holy ghost don't say no to the holy spirit don't shake off conviction that's dangerous the lord loves his church he loves his people with an undying love but we are so bent on going our own way we're so bent on drifting we're so bent on on on giving up that burden of the lord that's why god has to keep building a fire unto us he keeps and that's what i've i believe the house of god is for encouragement i believe it's for healing i believe it's for the ministering of grace but it's also for the ministry of stirring up our hearts and our minds to continue in his grace to continue fervently before the lord i know he has to do that in me he has to do that in me every every day he has to keep stirring my heart i want that i don't want to drift i want that stirring in my as god stirred your heart tonight you feel the moving of the holy spirit that's a wonderful thing to have the holy spirit moving on you if that's the case thank god for that because you're in a position to be touched and blessed will you pray this prayer from deep inside your heart lord jesus i do love you i need a touch forgive me jesus for neglecting you i repent i'm sorry don't let me get too busy don't let me go away from the word wow me back to the closet of prayer lord forgive my sin forgive my iniquities and cleanse me give me clean eyes and the pure heart let me not be involved with the sins of this generation [Music] give me power over the seduction of satan jesus i receive the cleansing healing power of jesus right now the blood of christ applied to my heart by faith i am forgiven and i am free and lord jesus give me power now of the holy ghost to worship and praise and seek your face thank you jesus [Music] you
