How Tim Dilena Became the Senior Pastor of Times Square Church

and the lord speaks to me clearly and said the man across the table he's going to be called to lead times square church in a season of crisis [Music] hi i'm carter conlon and today we're here and i thought you should know how tim dalina became the senior pastor of times square church it's such a privilege and a pleasure to have this man of god as my friend and not only his successor but my friend he is the the third pastor only the third pastor in times square church in 33 years and you're going to hear today how he has been divinely appointed by god for this leadership role and it has made my heart really glad tim it's just so good to have you here today and to be able to talk together carter what a joy to be here and not only work together but actually like you said that we can call each other friends yeah and and your story begins in 1958. now you didn't begin till farther until farther down the line in 1958 but your story actually begins in 1958 so let's start there and tell the people how that happened well it's amazing what god what god does when you go all the way back when i think of my grandparents coming from italy and from russia one group comes over as catholics the others come over as orthodox and when they get here through a number of events they end up in the russian pentecostal church and the italian pentecostal church and so a family that should be either orthodox or catholic ends up being a spirit-filled family and thus my parents come come in and my my my mother who's in new york city at the russian pentecostal church my dad at the italian pentecostal church meet get married and then all of a sudden start to raise a family in the church a church right right next to madison square garden called glad tidings tabernacle and so they're literally in a place that in in that time was one of the number one mission churches in the world and my parents would tell me the stories of seeing from smith wigglesworth come in and healing crusades and they knew him they saw him come in and people would wheel in the metal uh hospital beds um and that was their that was the heritage so just miracles let's let's believe for that again today i mean why wouldn't we believe for that that's right today we should we should believe in that and so i think to myself this is the heritage and so my dad then goes into as all of my italian uncles go into the fire department and the police department and who would have thought that god would just take somebody the son of an immigrant who becomes a christian and yet he wants to be a christian in the secular workplace he wants to just show christ's character and who would have thought that we would be connected by my dad intersecting in on a brooklyn street corner all the way back in 1957. oh 57 so that's david wilkerson i just came into new york city and a lot of folks know his story he's the founding pastor of times square church so david wilkerson came in to preach he stood up on a street corner that's it and he was told by a passing officer that you can't speak here nikki cruz was in that crowd as well as some other gang members that's right and it was your father a police captain who just over outranked this other officer and he said he said let the man speak when when it was about to be shut down this is their first encounter as it's about to be shut down gangs are listening um and really haven't even heard the message yet my dad says let the man speak david starts to speak there and it's the first time nikki is presented with the gospel but you see i love that because a lot of people in ministry think that they've got to be ministry is some big thing they know they don't see ministry as being in the place that god would have you at the very time that he would have you there i mean you think about if your dad had not been there and secondarily maybe if he had not spoken out david wilkerson wouldn't have preached nikki cruz wouldn't have heard the gospel nikki has preached to probably 30 to 50 million people throughout the world many many million have come to come to christ through him david wilkerson's ministry went worldwide countless numbers of people have been set free from drugs and addiction and launched into the ministry and all of that began when one man decides to stand up and preach on a street corner and another man says let the man speak and and i think carter you're absolutely right and what people forget is the other characters in god's script because many times they only see what the main character has done they'll see the nikki cruz or the david wilkersons but forget whether it's a police officer that says let the man let the man speak or whether it's a a a christian who witnesses to my dad's parents when they come over on the boat every person played part of that wow i mean carter think about it like this when you when a sunday school takes place in chicago a bunch of kids are in this class and one incorrigible kid that just that just wouldn't respond so the sunday school teacher a volunteer who pl he's a cass player comes down and decides to go to the kids place of employment which is a shoe store goes downtown chicago waits for the kid wondering what is it going to look like and minis and witnesses to dwight at the at the books at the shoe store who becomes a christian who we know him as not dwight but d.l moody yes and then deal moody begins to witness to all different people from wilbur chapman gets saved under him then a baseball player named billy sunday yes gets a and billy sunday preaches in a tent in north carolina and a billy graham comes out of it all starting where david wilkerson starts with a cop deal moody starts with a sunday school teacher volunteer while he's ministering at a shoe store uh it's just absolutely phenomenal and i think you know when we talk about your dad because that's where we're starting is that like he he was in the right place at the right time took his stand in a sense for christ really it was a stand that he took you know i mean as a cop you're you're throwing your your lot in with whatever's going to happen after that he had had i suppose he had a witness to the spirit that this was a god moment and not only did he do that but he raised a godly son which you are and not knowing that his stand and what god had called him to do was going to make you the senior pastor of that which was going to be founded through the life of the man that was now preaching to a street on a street corner to a gang i mean you can't make this stuff up this has to be god that does that you can't and you're absolutely right carter i think to myself growing up as much as we used to kid about it but we there was no options of of not going to church my dad led the way he was chief of the transit department um at that time the new york city transit was separated from the nypd so my dad was one of the chiefs he was chief of the subway and the bus policeman in in new york city oh yeah on call 24 hours a day in fact he walked around carter with a little thing we never even seen it was like we were going what is that little box he'd wear on his belt and at that time it was called a beeper and we thought that was like i remember those yeah no no be careful cause i remember that's right we're going this is technology but that thing would go off all the time it would go off while he was leading hymns in the church but that but he showed the example of being a working man serving in the church having his family in the church every sunday night we'd have to go there because there would be altar calls on sunday night people would pray for the baptism of the holy spirit um and we were always in the house of god never knowing that god was was doing something in my own heart and we got to get back there again we got to get back to praying for the baptism of the holy spirit we've gotten way too technical way too smart even for god and we're in a situation in our world today where the simplicity of the gospels got to come back again you know where your dad was a real character i mean i i got to know tim's dad i got to know your dad uh for a little while and i remember being in a restaurant one time and he stood up in the middle of the restaurant and he said folks if any of you here are not aware of it this is pastor carter connolly the senior pastor of times square church and then another time in the same restaurant might i add i started eating my chicken salad and he stands up and says did you pray over that food before you start to eat it he said i never saw you pray and of course there's like 50 other people in the restaurant he was a total utter character to be there at that restaurant and thought there's no way i'll be back at times square church ever again the rest of my life i loved your dad i mean he was he was a character he was real he was real as a matter of fact we're going to build a library eventually here at our bible school and it's going to be called the paul dalina memorial library and i i want there to be a cornerstone and on the cornerstone of that building it's going to say let the man speak amen and you've given 17 000 books to this library already which are in storage and we just want to thank you for that it's just absolutely phenomenal it's a joy for me and carter this was your yours and theresa's idea that you've had this this thought and i remember you calling me up and it was it so not only bore witness it so moved me because it it literally who would have thought that god i didn't read a i didn't read a book until i was a junior in high school and it was only because i had it went to a reading class the athletes went to a class that was an a yeah and then when i read a book for the first time because i just kind of made my way through high school for the first time it was screw tape letters by c.s lewis because it just interested me and who would have thought fast forward 17 and we're approaching now 20 000 books later that that it would have the opportunity to invest as teresa is leading summit international school of the ministry to invest in that next generation as she is that who would have thought my dad saying let the man speak would turn into 20 000 books that we're gonna we're gonna have the opportunity to help students to let them speak one day yeah well also too like it's only appropriate i think to honor your dad because without him there would be no summit international school of ministry it wouldn't be here it all came from that moment and i just love that i love that and i love the fact that you know i i wasn't born when david i was born in well i actually i was i was born in when you get old you forget okay i was four years old when david wilkerson did this all right i mentioned that one time in a sermon i was preaching i said i turned i said you know brother dave i was riding a tricycle when all this happened with nikki cruz and he yelled out across the platform thanks a lot in the middle of a minute it just dawned on me but you weren't born yet but you were in the mind of god you were in the dna of your father and god for knew god for foreknew that you would pastor the church that would be founded by david wilkerson at the very crossroads of the world times square is considered the very center of the world whatever happens there can affect the whole world and god foreknew it that's what i love about the ways of god and and if we are willing to be led by the spirit i think that's where miracles start happening it's when it's when it's when people get involved and somehow think we know better than god does or we have an idea about how we can promote god's kingdom and we end up looking for resumes and we're not looking for the leading of god anymore and we end up putting people in places they don't belong and it leaves them dry there's no real calling there's no real anointing but you were foreordained by god so you went through all these years of college and all the years of pastoring in detroit and all of the experiences and then we ended up about 10 years 11 years ago now in in gallagher's in new york city because i was welcoming you it was a very real moment and it's a very it's a moment led by the spirit of god and i think it's just as important carter to think of that moment but you can't take away how god would lead brother dave to new york how god brought you to new york and then you add another supernatural moment that i remember kate would say to us he goes this is a 33 34 year old church with three senior pastors but each of them had a miracle moment that god began to speak to us to be here but so while we were in that restaurant i was here for one week and while i was sitting in that restaurant we're eating across the table from each other this is very eerie right now because they feel almost the same almost the same distance in a corner where the the kitchen door kept opening and you don't if you lean too much to the left of a hitch in the side of that that's right it was the worst seed in the rest because it was packed yeah and as we're eating the food has come you get this dazed look in your eyes uh glazed let's call it let's call it glaze i like that i like that one better i apologize days is seven o'clock in the morning that's right and you look at me and you said to me you go i believe i have a word from the lord from you i i tim i have a prophetic word and carter i don't think you've ever done that to me before and it was the first time you've ever done that to me no and and do you remember do you remember what you said to me you started just sharing your heart about coming to the city and some of the things you felt god speaking to you when suddenly it's like you disappeared but that's happening that happens to me from time to time throughout my life it's it's a it's a word of knowledge it's a prophetic moment and and suddenly you're you're speaking but i'm not hearing you anymore and the lord speaks to me clearly and said the man across the table he's going to be called to lead times square church in a season of crisis it was that clear so i looked at you across the table and i said i have a word for you and it comes in two parts but i can only tell you part a that's right it's exactly the lord said you're to hold back the second part then i didn't tell you the second part for what six years or seven years it must have been at least six years i think it was even longer that i think was eight years so i said i said to pastor tim i said i don't want to rain on your parade but i have a word for you from the lord i said the next two years are going to be the hardest two years of your life and i said there's a reason god is doing this but i can't tell you the reason and you're going to have to trust this word because when you go through the storm you have to understand there's a reason deeper than what you're going to go through that's exactly what you said and and it's not what a normal person wants to hear when you're at a restaurant well you actually said thanks a lot i wasn't going to say that but that's exactly what i said and and the honors truth was this it it i was so excited to be there i didn't even i didn't even take it to heart because it just i was just happy it was great to be here and everything was going great and many times carter you would tell me when i was going through difficult moments i'm going i'm i'm dying i'm dying here you got to help and you just go just hang on there's a good part coming to this and it's not what i wanted to hear because it was so because it was difficult but to look back on it you do you do see the deepening well i know and every time you'd call me and i'd say i'd say tim you you got to hold on because there's there's another side to this story that i can't tell you yet one day on a sunday night uh i mean it's it's a sunday was always evangelistic the place is packed it's during a worship time the i mean the people are leaping up and down it's just one of those high points in the church i was walking to the back just to see just to see what's going on in the lobby during the service because i no longer spoke on sunday night and as i walked down the aisle the lord spoke to me and said this next season is not you're not the one that's called to lead the church in this next season i have something for you a god it's not like i was done or he's wiping me off the map but you are not the one that i've called to lead this church in this next season so i remember we started talking and you know a lot of people don't know it but the the day the week you came coveted hit the church shut down and uh and the lord just had been telling me carter the future of the church the future time square church is going to be on the internet i i had been sharing it with the staff for almost two years so i i saw a season coming where we were not we're not going to be able to meet and i started telling our leaders this we're not going to be able to meet the future of the church is going to be on the internet and i started sharing with them through john chapter 21 the story of the disciples fishing all night and then jesus appears on the shore after a long night and says cast the net on the right side of the boat in other words do some do it differently they had been obviously casting it on the left side almost all night nobody had never even occurred to them to try another side but he said cast the net on the right side and the lord spoke to me and said carter it's times square church is going to cast the internet on the right side of the boat and there's going to be a harvest that's going to stagger you and and this is what i began to tell the leadership but god knew that you were the man that was going to be called in to cast the net on the right side of the boat and i can't tell you how happy i am about that i i mean my heart is just glad beyond words i mean just i i it it's wonderful to be in the leading of the spirit of god that's the key it's not so much that you know because it ultimately doesn't matter what we think that's right there's no power if we're not following the leading of the spirit but god has orchestrated this and and and and it's and you're my friend which is great you know it's it'd be one thing if we're just kind of co-workers but we're we're way beyond that at least i think so i don't know i can just tell him when his phone rings and it's me and say oh lord what am i going to do you know and by god's grace i think we'll stay friends for the rest of our journey you know and it's just something i know in my heart and it's not based on ministry i just love you because you're a man of god and you're a friend you know and you have been for years and years and years and what a privilege what a privilege to put the net in the hands of a man you trust amen carter you you have you have been such a good friend even even beyond these new roles and relationship that we have as the times square church overseer and the senior pastor um and i know we've even talked about at some point in the future we want to talk about that even for future churches and future pastors that may have to deal with succession but i but i have to tell you i remember when we set the date you came to me and go this is i feel like this is the date and we said may 4th and there was no covet there was no wuhan there was no there was none of that and and then when we announced it in february you and we and we felt let's announce it um simultaneously in louisiana and and in times square church and this is february and then who would have thought that literally a month later the entire planet was gonna about to shut down yeah and life like we like life that as we've never known it was gonna about to take place and i remember you telling me that you said to me said tim listen why don't you don't come up we're not meeting right now we had to shut down the church why don't you come up and we can open up again and and i knew at that point what got what god put in my heart and called me to do and i just said no no i have to put on a battle uniform yeah i have to be there on that day and i love that you know because if you don't have that soldier's mentality then you you will cower and cave and run when trouble comes but you won't do that because you're not that kind of a man well and that's what i that all i thought about was i can imagine coming in when well everybody else has bloody uniforms and i come in with the the white uniform going like i'm here yeah i left the bells where you going the vanishing points that's right but it was but it was amazing because what you not only saw in my life and for times square church you also saw for what was to happen in the church which was casting the internet and i knew that this was that that as you were handing it over to me you were you were saying okay this is the right side this is now let's go into action and that has been amazing because the fact of the matter is from the day i landed there is the church doors have not been open and thank god we're getting so close now with all the restrictions being lifted yes but but there has been nothing not but but what it has done is we have in a sense sowed and gotten that net together through the internet that we are seeing now a harvest coming in that we're calling digital christians that have never walked through the doors of the church it's been through a screen never got baptized in the tank on the stage of times square church but it was in an alley or a river online as people watched they have never gone through the new believer's class in the annex they've done it digitally through our essentials class online like everything has changed but the message hasn't but the method has oh totally and i see the last day's spiritual awakening or i call it a mercy moment and it is going to be in homes the church is going to finish in my opinion the way she began yes it's they went from house to house breaking bread praying together uh studying doctrine and and they were in homes they're in people's homes and and it was that search in a sense that changed the whole known world and then eventually we kind of morphed into buildings and kind of almost like uh more of a corporate structure in a sense in america but those days i think are coming to an end and we're going back to where we begin what makes this so important carter when i think about from the gallagher's to what you saw in the sanctuary to what you were even preaching to the staff before even any of this was ever seen of casting an internet that nobody really understood what you were saying yeah that is the last day's church and this is why your role both as friend but also as ministry partner is so vital because peter says this on the day of pentecost he says in the last days old men will dream dreams young men will see visions that i believe today that that's what the church is going to look like your sons and daughters are going to prophesy and preach yes and i believe god has a role for the young the sons and daughters for the women in the church but also putting together old and young leaders together because most of the churches have morphed into this is just young people at this church or this is old people but he says when this with the as the spirits poured out the spirit is poured out on that last days old men will dream dreams young men will see visions and i believe if it's spirit if it's spirit-filled the dreams are going to be i see the internet i see it going back to the houses i see that's what brother dave's seeing fires and a calamity coming to new york the young men the young visionaries like myself we need to hear those dreams and to and to separate the enemy is separated in the church because here's what's happened carter if you have church with old people but no spirit filled old people then the dreamers dream of the of the old days yes not the last days but the old days yes and if you have young men that is not spirit-filled in the church then you have young men having visions not on how to implement the dreams but on how to be famous unknown but god i'm so grateful for you that your heart to dream of what's to take place my job is then to take that dream and just put the plan to it you dreamed internet i put the plan in place that's why what a joy and then god raises up like through summit and and teresa then god raises up the sons and daughters to prophesy and i think the beautiful thing about we're just starting to understand because this church was birthed in the spirit the ministries of it were birthed in the spirit and i thank god starting to give us an understanding about how they are the heart and lungs in the sense of what god is doing through time square church so with from the bible school to the prayer meetings to the uh to the the connect groups it's all working together that's right everything works together for one intended purpose that god had we're not just all these disjointed ministries kind of trying to get along but it's actually one body one unit moving in one direction that's right an interesting note years ago you know david wilkerson one of the things he was known for is he said he saw a thousand fires burning in new york city and i turned him on the platform i'll never forget it one day and i said brother dave do you suppose that the thousand fires you saw might be home fellowships where the the baptism of the holy spirit has come and he looked at me and he went hmm which okay is an interesting response we know that um from brother david yeah exactly it would be a very affirmative thing it's like wow maybe that's what i saw yes i think he saw turmoil nobody nobody does that but is it possible that that homes had come alive that the holy spirit had invaded apartments and homes and not just new york city but all over the world that's why i'm excited about this day and that's why i'm at the end of every permitting now i'm i'm asking people to stay and pray for the baptism of the holy spirit let's get back to where the church began it was that church acts chapter 2 that caused 3 000 people to bend their knee to god i mean let's if it works don't try to fix it like just go back to it you know i have this saying that i say quite often here at the bible school yeah when all else fails read the instructions that's so good well you know it is such a uh a privilege to walk with you tim it's just such a privilege and and thank you for letting me lead the prayer meeting on tuesday night that's been very gracious of you and uh it's such a privilege to just to reach out to the the the marginalized the disaffected the addicted the the people who think that god's never going to use them or doesn't love them that's my role now i feel like i'm called to reach out to these people as well as call the nation to pray but particularly to reach these people and just say god loves you well carter it's my joy you're so gracious but let me just say i feel it is if i can put myself in the place don't don't be angry with me i'll be the young man the visionary and if you could be the old man dreamer but i would be foolish because i think there's a number of things happening this is the church gets to hear the dreamer the church on gets to hear the visionary preach but the joy for me is also that we are teaching our church to have the prayer meeting online from our school is now teaching our our people and people around the world that this is just as much of the prayer meeting whether we're in the building or it's online we can still pray yes and we're teaching them because i believe that's what's coming i think i think carter what you saw on the internet and and what's happening at the school you leading our prayer meeting encouraging homes to pray for the baptismal holy spirit and us having the vision to believe in the years to come that we're going to raise up ten thousand connect groups globally i think it's going to be more than that and you and you told me that and i just shook my head again like gallagher's cause you said tim don't hit the arrow on the ground you better hit it enough a lot of times that's when i hit my head going oh no but it was but i i know you are absolutely right the pandemic isn't isn't the the crisis i don't i don't really believe that's the crisis time coming i think that was that was the the prerequisite that was the preparation when god shut the church down and churches it wasn't simply to shut us down as a disruption i believe it was directional i believe god was going i want you to you i'm going to give you a season to get the digital part of the church together because there is coming a time that i'm going to shut it down for good and it's going to go back to the homes that anybody today and carter you see this and from the places you preach and the and from the the politicians that that are on the inside christian men and women that if we preach the gospel today you know this very well it's going to be considered hate speech don't you believe that well it's already there it's not coming it's arrived i think just a lot of society is not aware of it yet a lot of the christian world are not aware of it yet but we are in a crisis moment that's right and uh but i bud caught right back we always say you know you still have a giddy and you still have an esther you still have a you still have 120 failures in an upper room but you know let's just go back to where it began and just say god give us your holy spirit god give us your power you have to come this has been my my constant prayer now i prayed every day i prayed in the gym lord you have to come that's right you have to you have to vindicate your name you have to glorify your own name you've got to we can't bring conviction into people's hearts of sin only you can so god forgive us for trying to do this without you forgive us for all of our our corporate strategies and methodologies and all of the other stuff that has left our nation bankrupt lord we just need you to come and and he said you know to jerusalem he said you won't see me again until you say blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord and it it the word blessed i love it it means that we become indwelled and fully satisfied amen in god like we want not just need you lord we want you we want you we want you to come and and kind of push us all down a little bit so that our names are not you know we're not looking to be uh you know elevated it's just just come and be glorified jesus i mean that's the way i feel well that's that's what i believe is going to happen in that last days church because when you think about even let's let's take the place on the planet where in a sense the greatest revival the largest concentration of christians in the world is china and it is a place where it's illegal to be a christian and here's what's amazing ask anybody tell me one pastor in the underground church tell me the name of one of the churches oh you don't know okay you don't know anybody we'll know them when we get to heaven we'll know them when we get to heaven but if you ask him in the west yeah tell me the best church is the best the most popular path we can name them hands down probably 20 just immediately and i believe carter what is going to happen in this next season though it though it's going to go from hate speech um removing off of social platfor social media platforms to removing of of our 501c3s and non-profit status and then it's going to come to finds and i think they'll chain the doors of the church but god will have his church meeting in homes around the world what i believe at that point is god now through this pandemic and what's coming is repowering his church he's taking it back yeah it's as one of my friends used to say this he says what revival basically is is when god gets sick and tired of being misrepresented he comes back himself i fully believe that that's what i think stay low day low hello when that starts and i believe in the next season i i don't think i in and god used carter conlon god used david wilkerson i truly believe this my name will not be attached to that church it'll just be god's church it'll be times square church i don't think this next wave has any personality attached to it one personality and but he's three persons praise god the father god the son god the holy spirit and you know tim it's it's just such a pleasure and i think we're going to be able to you know hopefully in some time in the future i know that some churches and pastors that are interested in how we have done this transition and continue to do it how how we have chosen to honor one another and to love one another and to and to be real you know what i love about you is that i can we can have honest conversations we've had to have a few that's right in the last year or two that's right but we always work it through we have an honest conversation but we're on the same team going in the same direction and uh and and we always come to this conclusion i want to just close with this today psalm 133 when it says david says how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity is like the precious oil upon the head running down on the beard the beard of aaron and running down to the edge of his garments in other words when we choose to walk in unity there isn't an anointing that comes from god i mean there's there's no other way you can describe it it's god's choice his anointing it's it's and it's like a i like the uh david's uh description is like the totality of the anointing not just from the head but all the way down to the bottom and it speaks of like when if we choose to walk together in unity there's a blessing that comes upon the people not just us it goes right from the head right down to the skirts of his garment it's like the dew of hermann descending upon the mountains of zion it's there's something in unity that satisfies the thirst of the land right this landing is this land is thirsty thirsty and they don't need any they don't need any more personalities this land needs people who are walking together in christ and it says for there the lord commanded the blessing life evermore and and my my prayer for you and i and for times square church is that god through us could command the blessing of life everlasting and in the church in the city in the nation in the in the home fellowships throughout the world where it's really up to him as to where he wants to take this right and wherever he chooses to take it may there be may may he be able to command this blessing of life and so maybe we could close with that if if i could ask you to pray for this blessing of life to be a on our friendship to be on our leadership to be on the people of times square church that that there would be an understanding maybe in people's hearts that this is the hand of god amen this is not this was never a men's idea i mean as much as as you weren't even born when your father stood there and said let the man speak you you were in the mind of god times square church was in the mind of god like the the transition was in the mind of god and the home fellowships were in the mind of god everything was in the mind of god where this has not ever been orchestrated by any anybody that's right uh and i i just love that like there's never been a round table board meeting where we say what are we going to do now you know we've we've just prayed and as we've prayed that the spirit of god has led us which brings you here and so my heart is that walking in unity with christ first obviously and with each other because you can't have one with the i don't think you can have one without the other that he could command the blessing of life so if you could pray that like throughout the world in china and india and asia and all over the world that god would command this blessing of life everywhere that times square church reaches through the internet because in the last days the gospel will be preached to all people i believe and i do believe the internet is the roman road yes of our generation so believe that please if you would it would be my joy to pray pastor okay so as we begin to pray i want us to think about those words as we begin to declare today how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity god you are going to unify your church not just there in new york city but around the world i thank you god it is good and it is pleasant it's right it's the right thing and lord where there are churches that there are divisions that there are infighting when they're fighting over who's the next pastor or fighting who's the next deacon or elder god would you begin to bring peace back to your church repo your church today may you be the one that is that is the outstanding character and personality may they see your character more than any other person's character god i believe unity starts there is pleasing the heart of god if we know that it's good and pleasant in your sight for brethren to dwell in unity then lord let that be our pursuit thank you and i thank you god that has been the pursuit of times square church and and there has been enemies and foxes um that have tried to come in and disrupt that lord god it's it's come from every angle from outside and inside but i thank you that when you have a church that pursues what's good and pleasant in your eyes you will bring down those enemies so god for your church in india your church in london all over europe your church in the ukraine down in colombia in peru lord god your church around america lord god where unity is lacking i pray that you would allow them to to look up back to god and say god you need to be the one dominating force and character in this church and i pray let that precious oil start from the head and now run down the the beard as it did the beard of aaron and begin to go through the garments god i believe that lord that lord it is going to begin to take place for the lord will command that blessing of life forevermore upon those churches send life back to your church the dying church where the heart rate is beginning to go down and it's barely there you said from verse one when there's unity all the way down to verse three you will command life ever more you will command that so lord send life back to your church send unity back to your church i'm so thankful for our overseer pastor carter i'm so thankful god for this new season that we have a chance to have dreams and visions work together sons and daughters are getting ready to prophesy in this last days church i pray that we would walk as men that are an example not only to our children and grandchildren but to generations to come to churches that have yet transitioned that have yet known what it is to see this kind of unity and may we be an example i ask you lord god because we know the enemy will try to come and disrupt disunity here but lord we are not ignorant of the enemy's devices or the enemy schemes so lord god i'm so grateful for pastor carter his love to please god lord i want that same that same love and the lord when you have two men when you have a church that wants to please god then father unity will be there thank you so we pray for that mighty anointing over your church over your people in the last days in jesus name amen amen i have just so enjoyed just having this time to talk together let's do this you
