such a wonderful presence of God please remain standing I'm gonna actually you can sit down such a wonderful presence of the Lord that's in the house they men want to thank these musicians and singers for assuring us into the presence of the Lord for giving their all while they are on this platform reaching and pressing for a breakthrough thank God for them and the anointing that's upon them I want to come in this church for your acceptance your hunger your aggression towards the Word of God and for Jesus Christ and thank you so much for receiving my ministry here and I know that is a product of brother and sister Soto loving me and when the pastor loves the minister that just spills over into the church and I thank you for that I was asking the Lord this morning when I was praying God I don't want to just preach messages and leave and everything go back the way it was and I can feel and see in the spirit that some things are taking root and some shifting is happening in the spirit realm that is gonna change the trajectory and help this church and I thank God for that I thank God for them I want to very quickly summarize the last two battles of David and then I'm gonna go into a different area altogether we talked about the six battles of David first battle being the lion which is the adversary the devil the second the bear the third was the brother that he met on the battlefield fourth was the Giant and after the giant David had the Battle of the javelin and it was not the javelin that Saul was throwing at him it was the javelin that he was tempted to pick up and throw it Saul and we see in the life of David a spiritual authority that gone bad and that is abusing their power and taking advantage of their position to destroy a ministry underneath and I believe that God gives us this example so that everybody else I don't know if anybody's ever had that exact situation that's pretty bad when someone's physically trying to murder you that's pretty bad and we see this that when you are seeking the anointing and you're seeking to be used of God many times you will feel restraint from your spiritual authority and the closer you get to your spiritual authority the more flesh you see okay the more flesh you see I had the privilege of getting close to my Bishop James Varnum and after a little time passed it really startled me that he burps just like other humans do he has to wear deodorant just like other men do he has bad breath in the morning just like other men do he's not an angel he doesn't walk on water continuously and Satan tempted me because I was aggressive and because I wanted to be anointed and I could feel the constraints from my bishop and I'm gonna talk a little bit more about this in the next next moment but feel the restraints and I was tempted by Satan to destroy the connection and come out from under the authority that God had placed over my life and David was tempted to do this when he was in the trench and Paul was her Saul was down there sleeping and the spear was on the ground a Bechet I said let me smite him to the ground I will not smite him a second time and David said destroy him not for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's anointed and me guiltless David passed a test and he was not going to retaliate when somebody hurt him and that was the fifth battle the sixth David fought was the success the fulfillment of the promise of God in his life he got the crown it was the biggest battle of his life because people typically associate his failure beginning of his failures with Bathsheba Bathsheba was just a symptom of another problem David fell after he had attained what he had fought so long for he felt I no longer have to fight I can let other people fight for me David was a mighty man he was a powerful warrior but when he finally got what God promised him when he attained a level of success he decided to let other people carry the battle for him and that's when he fell so that's the sixth battle of the crown so if you want these notes not be happy to send them to you they're kind of a splattering that worked for me to teach from them but if if I know I have not gotten into the last two in detail but I will be happy to send you the notes to that for a small fee of $100 per note so it's just up to you whatever you want to do praise God I want to talk to you about intercession intercessory prayer let's pray and God have his way right now would you lift your hands and your voices let's ask God to do what he wants to do father I thank you for your anointing I thank you for the expectation that is here thank you for this church and their acceptance and obedience to the Word of God I pray that every eye would be open to see and every ear to hear what thus saith the Lord loose my tongue that I might flow in the spirit and be an Oracle of the Lord this evening God that our hearts be good ground to receive the word of the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ we pray and everybody said in Jesus name in Jesus name Amen I want to tell you that as the people of God we should be very interested in revival revival is kind of a hot word among us and it's interesting because revival is not really mentioned in the New Testament the way we use it we talk about we're in revival we're having revival don't you feel the spirit of revival we're praying for revival all these things but we refer to revival I believe we are referring to an uninhibited flow of the Spirit of God coming down upon us and I want to tell you something revival is not coming somewhere down the road revival is here revival is hanging over us ready to be pulled down through prayer in most cases I believe with all of my heart we are not waiting on God I believe in most cases God is waiting on us it removes our excuses to say that because man I'm telling you I've seen people waiting on God all their life they've been waiting on God for a revival they've been they've been struggling for a revival for 45 years and they're still waiting on God something went wrong the first six months we do not wait on God for revival God is waiting on us now other things come in seasons harvest comes and seasons there's a time of harvest there's a time of the winnowing of the harvest there's a time of processing the harvest and storing the harvest and planting the harvest and dry times and rain times all these things come in seasons but revival fire is not seasonal I got five all right sand one nervous mmm Solomon said that the fire never says it is enough this church can literally stay in revival and the problem is not a lack of fire the problem is a lack of fuel for the fire we had hurricane Irma come through Florida and we battened down the hatches I live in a hundred-year-old house that's probably real you up here in Wisconsin we live in a hundred-year-old house my wife says it has character and what that means is everything's crooked rubes crooked the Foundation's cooker the doors are crooked you walk through the door like this because it has character and the termites that have almost destroyed it they had character there's all kinds of character need little things about the house but she loves it so I'm I'm her personal slave in this instance which I enjoy because I get some smooching afterwards hallelujah I forgot where I was going I miss my wife oh thank you so much oh yes hurricane Irma so hurricane of love just came through that's what threw me off hurricane Irma came through and we batten down the hatches and right after Irma just a few weeks after we started getting some cold fronts which means like 70 degrees in Florida by the way if it dropped below 70 we're wearing scarves and trench coats man it's our only time to wear winter clothing but it actually dropped down we got some good freezes this year and I went outside to gather the firewood for our fireplace which is just so rare that we can use a fireplace and when I went outside and gathered the firewood it had been sitting out we had two hurricanes pass through we got splattered by a big old oak trees ripped out of the ground and um Wendy got the firewood put it on the fire and I figured one little wrapped paper towel should do the trick you didn't have to laugh so hard ma'am [Applause] it's kind of offensive actually so I rolled up a paper towel and I put it under the wood and I lit it and it kind of laughed at me just like that is that you got to be kidding me I didn't do nothing it didn't even mark the wood the moss didn't even disappear it was nothing happened so I I went and got the roll and I stuff like three more and lit him up and it got a beautiful flame going and then it just died nothing didn't even mark the wood I'm thinking my goodness so I I proceeded to stuff every crack and crevice with a rolled-up paper towel and then I poured oil we finished my story if you don't mind okay I poured oil all over the paper towels soaked him because I I got on the source of all knowledge of wisdom YouTube and it said that oil will make a lasting flame you know and and they weren't joking I almost burnt the house down because the flames shot out of it and just like but still the wood would not burn but what happened is the condition of the wood was revealed it just went like this I saw bubbles coming out of every piece of bark on that wood it was bubble City man and steam and then the flames went out completely the flames totally died and the wood just sat there and steamed it took me like 45 minutes to light this fire and God began to speak to me our problem is not a lack of fire when Jesus died and rose again and the fire fell on the day of Pentecost from that day forward fire is available to whomsoever will our problem especially in our society is a lack of proper fuel you got to have wood that's been in the right setting for a while if it's gonna catch fire you got to have fuel that's been in the right atmosphere for an extended period of time if it's gonna catch fire and you get the right wood in there and you can just put a spark and maybe one little paper towel rolled up and it's gonna get going but if you get wood that has been in the wrong atmosphere it will take everything you got and it'll almost kill you to start a fire and there are churches across our men that literally destroy preachers because they have not been in the right atmosphere and the preacher comes in and is trying to get a fire going but the people just sit there and steam but I want to tell you something there's something happening in this church there's something happening there's a there's a combustible 'ti that is is being released into this church there's a there's kind of a spontaneous spark that can get a hold of this church that will rise into a burning flame and when you get yourself in the presence of God through prayer and through worship and especially the prayer that you did before service you are literally putting yourself in an atmosphere and God is curing your spirit up and causing you to be combustible so when the fire does fall you just start burning up I want to be fuel for the fire I want to add my flame to the fire I don't want my pastor just to be the only one on fire [Applause] sometimes we let the crazy lady up at the front carrier at the crazy man billy-bob up there he's gonna run no matter what sister whatever she's gonna do whatever she does no matter what and we kind of leave it to them I want to add my flame because if you get this long that's on fire it can die out and if you get this log over here all by yourself on fire it may die out you put those two logs together and it's it just Rises and you bring all kinds of scrap in there we ought to add our flame to the fire what I'm telling you is if you see somebody worshiping don't just watch them join them if you see somebody clapping you on the clap if you see somebody stand you understand if you see somebody shouting you ought to try shouting what are you doing you're adding your flame to the fire of revival I'm to allow somebody else to carrier I'm gonna add my flame to the fire shut up aah hyah and God is constantly looking for a way to break through upon us but he needs channels he needs people who are willing to release him slap your neighbor on the shoulder with moderate intensity and say you must release him as Pentecostals we've all heard of William Seymore you ever heard that name Azusa Street Charles Parham Topeka Kansas you ever heard that name bugging Nona Freeman you ever heard those names Africa revival John the Baptist Peter Paul what are these people these are people that made themselves channels for the spirit to flow through where they went the spirit flow through them they bridged the gap between heaven and earth Jesus was the ultimate channel for God's Spirit I want you to notice what the Bible says about him after everything I've said and Isaiah 53 this is the final thing he said in this particular prophecy he said therefore there verse 12 therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the spoil with the strong because he hath poured out his soul unto death and he was numbered with the transgressors and he bare the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors the last statement of this chapter he made intercession for the transgressors what is an intercessor an intercessor is a bridge between two worlds the intercessors prayers their presence they're human spirits fill in the gap between heaven and earth they fill in the gap between the pulpit and the Pew you pastor needs intercessors because there's a gap a spiritual gap between the word that God spoken to his spirit and the ability to receive that word in the pew and an intercessor in the spirit literally grabs the hand of the church and grabs the hand of the pastor that's the kind of power intercessors have you literally caused heaven to touch our intercessors are vital to revival and they are the keys to success for the word of God to go forth from the preachers mouth I'm telling you as an evangelist I make it my priority to identify intercessors very quickly I've identified some of you I know exactly who you are I can feel it on you and there's a kindred spirit there's a connectivity and I'm looking for you and I want to get you on my side because if I don't have you on my side I'm gonna have to work a lot harder but if I get you on my side we're gonna put our tools together we're gonna put our flames together and something supernatural is gonna happen in the house hallelujah I've learned that the worshipers the prayer warriors the intercessors must be engaged for the Holy Ghost of all intercessors create the atmosphere for God to work nothing can prepare the atmosphere like intercessory prayer no music I love music I'm a musician I love singing I was actually a choir director I love it all but nothing can prepare the atmosphere like intercessory prayer you know what they did and that Azusa Street revival you know their strategy was pray that was it that's kind of a simplified evangelism strategy right there kind of a simple discipleship approach right there we're just gonna pray yeah and he just sat behind that box and prayed and prayed and prayed and when four or five six hours eight hours and people would come in off the streets and the glory of God will be so powerful they would fall on their faces and then they would start praying and everybody would start praying this wave of pray or intercession power fire people were healed in their bodies it was it was prayer that prepared the atmosphere everybody say prayer prayer is one of the most needed things yet it's the most least understood things we talk about prayers so much and it's probably the least things we do there was a survey done in the United Pentecostal Church there was a survey done the average prayer time was 10 minutes a day and in the old days if you weren't praying an hour a day you going to hell anybody ever heard that hour a day you better get your hour and 59 minutes won't do you gotta have 60 if you're going through [Music] now or a day I just made that up the spirit is upon me right now I'm telling you a truth and the the last day church cannot be something different than the first day church we can't be a different creature we can't where do we fit in because the Bible says the first shall be last and the last shall be first and it's not just talking about position and attitude if it is it's a it's a cycle that never ends because if you're first then you go to be last but guess what now you're last so then you're gonna be first it's a never-ending cycle if he's just talking about position I know the Lord is giving us a prophecy that the first shall be last and the last shall be first what's he talking about the first day church is going to look like the last day Church and the last day Church it's going to look like the first day Church what were they doing and the place when they all pray together the place was shaken up by the power of the holy cows hallelujah the prayer of the intercessor is the fuel of revival now there are two types of intercessors everybody say two types there is the Saint that is periodically called into intercession that is the first type of intercessor you are a prayer warrior you just praying and you feel to intercede you feel intercessory prayer is something will be required from you physically you intercessory prayers not comfortable there is a force behind it there's a there's an urgency behind it there's a passion behind it there's a physical force that is required from your body it's almost like when you get into the the the deeper places of intercessory prayer it's almost involuntary like a woman having a baby the contractions it just automatically happens you can reach a place an intercessory prayer or your body will literally begin to absolutely contract and push according to the will of the Spirit and it destroys your body you are literally giving up your life in your energy for the sake of something else or someone else or some purpose in God and so there is the prayer warrior the saint of God that you are praying and you feel a burden to go deeper in God and throw away the clock and just stay a little bit longer you normally do an hour but you just you just feel like staying longer and you feel like God is is reaching for you and you you know the normal prayer ain't cutting it and you gotta you gotta speak in terms with a little bit more force and sometimes you might yell a little bit you're being called into intercessory prayer how many want to be called into intercessory prayer then there is the saint that is born an intercessor there are people who are born intercessors and born intercessors have a different flow of prayer than the normal human you are involved in intercessory prayer and you have given yourself to it when everyone else is almost done praying the intercessor is just getting started that went over like a flock of bricks everybody else is satisfied they had their break food but you can't get up something is imperative upon you there's a weight on you there's an urgency on you and called intercessors have a totally different challenge that they face because here is a key the spirit of intercession is very similar to the feeling of depression hopelessness sadness emotionally distraught out of sorts and if the intercessor is not aware of how the gift operates they will be dysfunctional emotionally and they'll pretty much drive everybody around them crazy I got a few nervous giggles thank you I want to tell you something I am NOT a human until I have been in the presence of the Lord I don't talk to nobody I don't want to deal with anybody I don't want to look at you I don't like you I've got to go get with Jesus first because he settles me he clarifies he brings to light he aligns he he's the key that kind of unlocks all these things inside of my soul I need him and typically when you get involved with intercessory prayer especially the born intercessors you you have a strong will you are a box buster you you don't like normal things you you despise normal things you are emotional and you can be contrary sometimes and these things must find their release in the presence of the Lord through intercessory prayer submission is vital for intercessors submission is vital for intercessors I know of an intercessor this woman is so powerful she she's one of the craziest intercessors I've ever seen in my life she is a powerful woman of God and I met her and I became familiar with her through the people around her or whatever but I learned very quickly that she could be very strong-willed in kind of ordinary and the people around her I had a hard time dealing with her nobody really liked her too much because she would kind of bite their heads off and she didn't know what was going on and so we had these discussions of understanding that you have to release these things in the presence of the Lord you got to give them to God there are pressures on you that are from another world and the devil will do everything he can to cause a wedge between you and your spiritual authority when you get involved with the spirit now I can remember in my church when I started really really praying and getting involved intercessory prayer my pastor brought me on staff you want to be to be his his assistant basically I was chief gofer to the pastor whatever you wanted I did and I was I was very prayerful I fasted a lot and I worshiped a lot I worked the altar and I was very spiritual so I thought in one particular evening my pastor was trying to get my attention and this is what he does is his name's brother Farnham is what he does he signs Jay Jay come here Joey Jay for Joey come here and I was too in the spirit to even look at him give me five girl right here yes ma'am that's what I'm talking about is that her name and he told me Joe come here and I I think I might even even looked at him but I was too spiritual to do a menial task at that moment I'm in the heavenlies you've got to understand pastor you might not relate to this right now but I'm in the heavenly so you just got a hold on one second and he kept saying and finally he made eye contact with me and when he did little laser shot out of his eyes and went into my belly button and I melted for fear of my life my pastor has a look I want to tell you right now he's smiling but it's like come here and when I got over to him now I'm still speaking in tongues I'm still shaking and trembling because I'm spiritually understand I get over to him and he said what is the point of having you want staff if when I need you I cannot have your attention I go sit over there and pray I pray with your eyes open otherwise you're worthless to me my insides went the wind left my spirit I was not in the spirit any longer I assure you I was so deflated oh oh and also he said he said to me when I was when I went up to him he said the first thing he said was keep smiling cuz everybody's watching keep smiling then he said what he said then he said he said otherwise you're worthless to me he said keep smiling now go back for your seat [Laughter] I tell you something don't you know the devil started talking right there who does he think he is what was this man you probably pray more than him anyway oh don't you know he said that as he fasted as much as you what does he who does he think he is just because he's the pastor he can beat you up push you around Satan did everything he could to drive a wedge between me and my pastor there was another time I had made a stupid her and I knew I made a stupid error and he knew I made a stupid error and he was so gifted in conversation at bringing you to the place where you admit you made a stupid error so we're sitting there we're talking and he's talking about this error and I knew I'm the one who did it and he said this this person is downright ignorant ignorant and I'm like yeah yeah the point hoping and he doesn't know it's me boy I mean that that might have been one of the dumbest things I've ever seen he's like who was that up there doing that well it was actually me he said oh you're the one that was being dumb and ignorant let me tell you something the devil spoke to me and at that time there were other pastors because I could play and sing and all this stuff there were other pastors coming to me probably in the best motives possible hopefully telling me hey if things don't work out for you over souls Harbor you come to my church hey we'll take good care of you there baby you're real good because I was doing man I was doing the music I was doing the technology I was doing the I was doing the outreach director I was a youth pastor man if things don't work out for you over there you just come on over here we'll take a real good care of you and the devil would speak to me and I don't you know I needed that telling you the truth that's exactly what I needed I needed somebody to say I need us I needed a spiritual gut punch because I was stupid and if I did let me tell you something you look at how Jesus pastor Oh fool is in the Bible folks we try to do all this little pansy stuff now well it's okay you little Buddha baby Lulu you get a little feeling a little boo boo boo oh let me rub your little boo boo [Music] you met at the pastor Oh boohoo jesus said you fool slow of heart how long am I gonna suffer you he looked at his number one man get thee behind me Satan talking the lowest blow you can get you're supposed to be the number one but you're the one that's the adversary to the will of God and he told him to his face don't you know what that's what that hard-headed Peter needed right there and I'm telling you I had to go into prayer and say God he's right I have been stubborn you and I needed it and I had to yield to it and as soon as I yielded to it he allowed me to come even closer and I want to tell you something right now whatever that man says to this day I'm drooling over him because he had the guts to put me in my place when I needed to be put in my place I'm on something right now let me tell you something if you want to be a real disciple you're gonna expose yourself to the greatest scrutiny if you want to be a real disciple the light is gonna shine all over you and if you've got a little thin hide you're gonna be out pretty quick and as an intercessor Satan will try to drive a wedge in between you and your spiritual authority because if he can get you uncovered you got to understand you were out there on the first lines of the hottest battles in the spirit you are out there you are plowing you are pushing you are reaching your prayers are pushing Satan back and if he can disconnect you from the source of authority in your life you're covering he has destroyed you yes he has let me tell you something god I don't know how God did it I looking back I thank God with all of my heart somehow those things didn't cause me to run away they caused me to run even closer to him I want to learn how are you what you are where is this wisdom come from you know you were right I was dumb thank you for being so blunt and to this day I was just at a at his house a couple days ago when I bought him some shoe shine there's a new kind of shoe shot I found out it I used to use Kiwi but now I use Sofia a Sofia high-gloss very expensive I bought some for my pastor I said pastor don't you shine your shoes let me go more enjoy your shoes 40 years old traveling the world people I don't want to tell you something I got greater pleasure shining my pastor shoes my fingers were in his sweaty spots in that shoe I got greater pleasure shining my pastor shoes and anything can provide why because God meant my soul to him God made my soul to him intercessor hear what I'm saying better keep a right spirit of submission to the spiritual authority in your life lift your hands I feel the Holy Ghost let's ask God to help us to depend upon him and to lift your voice a little bit's kind of quiet would you let your voice out for a moment and thank you Jesus for our covering thank you Jesus Alleluia Mohammed hallelujah Oh [Applause] Haribo Horicon de la bahasa listen I did not intend to come here I promise you I did not this is not in my notes didn't intend to do it but I want to tell you something you do not want to put your man of God in a position where he has to tiptoe around the tulips with you you are killing yourself you are slicing your own throat if you put your own race thinking will up against your pastor you are causing him to have to navigate around your spirit to save you and you're slicing your own throat I'm telling you something when I get to heaven I'm gonna run screaming and grab him my pastor's feet thank you for telling me like it is you saved me save me save me nila co-taught on intercessory prayer powerful man of God changed the world changed the movement he said engaged intercessors can bring great revival to a church but intercessors that are not plugged in to intercessory prayer can destroy a church you can destroy a church because you cannot be neutral intercessors cannot be neutral you're either flow in one direction or the other there's no neutral or too unstable to unstable you either flowing in the Holy Ghost or flowing in some other funk is this okay intercessors must learn to balance their gifting we've got to pray God help my character to grow so it will match the challenge of this gift I'll tell you how the gifts of the Spirit work I prayed for the discerning of spirits for years and I believed I didn't even know why was praying for it back then but I prayed for it I pray I think it's because Stoneking pray for it I heard he prayed for it so I wanted to be like him and I wanted this that's what it was yes and I prayed and fasted and prayed and fasted I want discerning of spirits give me discerning of spirits Jesus fill me with desiring of spirits and he gave it to me and it it really messed me up because when you have discerning of spirits you are extremely sensitive to atmosphere atmosphere around individuals atmosphere in groups you're extremely susceptible to atmosphere and I would get around people and my emotions would go for I think my god I'm having a nervous breakdown something's wrong with me and I would just I would become extremely reclusive and get away from everybody because any time I will get around anybody my my spirit would go bonkers and it took me a while to understand that that was the gift doing that to me and I had to pray God let my character grow to be strong enough to match the power of this gift you got to be emotionally stable to operate in the spirit very very important and as intercessors we've got to pray as prayer warriors the more you get out in the spirit the more you launch into the unknown we've got to pray God that our characters grow to match the challenge of these gifts the spirit of the Prophet is subject to the Prophet an intercessory prayer I went through a season people would would come up to me and they they were not making fun of me they were genuinely concerned because I I would spend hours and hours a day in prayer in the prayer room and literally cry weep ball sob and screamed the entire time I would cry so much that my eyes would swell shut totally swell shut and when I opened them there were big red blotches on the inside just and blotches all over the outside like that where the blood had risen to the surface of the skin I was really pushing exceedingly pushing my throat was wrong I could taste blood and my throat sometimes my my muscles were all cramped ahead just all kinds of crazy stuff and when I would walk out of the prayer room I'll never forget it this one precious lady in our church said brother Joey why are you crying all the time I just thought to myself well she don't understand you know I'm in the Holy Ghost I'm in the spirit but I walked around in this heaviness all the time and I did not understand how to balance that gift because you cannot get into those places in prayer where you were pushing back darkness without feeling the heaviness and the burden of the spirit realm before I get up to preach I promise you this kind of weight settles all over my body all over my mind - because the devil knows what's about to happen and he tries to wrestle with me while I preach I can feel the spirit realm wrestling and I can feel if I if I hit something in the spirit because I feel this weight come upon me and and intercessory prayer warriors you will feel these things and and if we don't learn how to balance them we'll live under this weight and you're no good for nothing what I had to do and I had wonderful teachers in my life what I had to do was learn to praise the Lord after I got into intercessory prayer I would go into these seasons of praise and just lifting up Jesus and I learned how to lay the burden down so I could enter into a different channel of praise because it's impossible to deal with certain things if you're locked into one channel some places I preach I've told them especially in like other culture churches and in Spanish churches or in different churches overseas a lot of time their default channel is to come to the front and cry to supplicate before the Lord just kind of weeping weeping weeping and the Lord hears that and the Lord is moved by that but there are certain dimensions in the spirit that you are barred from accessing when you are supplicating is this okay I don't look at that be funny I hope I'm making sense and God had to teach me how to change the channel because after you have prayed that prayer and after you have done what God put it on your heart to do if you learn how to change the channel all of a sudden the victory of what you just accomplished that will come upon you and the virtue that you poured out will come back into your body is that making sense because I would leave heavy in this dark cloud and if people were talking about like okay alright hey you want to go to this world I guess so what come on eat alrighty it was heavy and I learned to put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness let me tell you that's a key whether you're an intercessory prayer or not when you feel this heaviness when you feel that heaviness come upon you why don't you try putting on the garment of praise and a lot of times we resist that because we don't feel to praise Him when we're heavy you don't feel giddy when you got 10,000 pounds on your brain you don't feel like going put on the garment of praise for the spirit some of you God want you to put on the garment of praise tonight stop waiting for God to come rescue you and your heaviness put on the garment of praise and watch what happens to you I'm telling you a spirit of praise can come upon you where you can't stop praising him and energy a fire will get a hold of you with you where you cannot stop praising him it'll float like a river through you Alleluia shut up aha well do it from home and praise ye the Lord however you want to praise the Lord a lukewarm intercessor can be some of the greatest gossipers in a church it's the truth because God made you for details and information I will never forget I'm almost done by the way then we're gonna just let the Holy Ghost have his way I'll never forget I did a seven-day fast I think it was the first seven-day fast I did in our church and I did it all wrong I didn't do research on it I did like to go to Burger King the night before eat a whopper drink a coke because you're about to fast so you want to prepare your body ahead of time you know when something in that stomach that can last the entire time man that messed me up and I didn't realize it and then when I ended it I was so hungry I'm figured you know a little bowl of soup ain't gonna cut it I need a steak or something man I'm starving yeah so I dealt with that fast for about a month but during the fast I was at the church on the seventh day while I was at the church a spirit of Prayer came upon me and I went to my house and I begin to pray in my bedroom in my apartment I got on the floor and begin to intercede I remember the rain started coming down while I was praying and a spirit of intercessory prayer came upon me I bowed over and began to groan in the spirit I didn't know what I was praying for but for quite some time I was groaning and weeping in the spirit and all of a sudden a vision opened up to me I had seen in a vision my pastor walking up a road big highway like a four-lane highway and there was nothing on the road except it was an intersection the road was going this way then there was an intersection of four-lane highway going this way and there was a stop light but the stoplight was just flashing all kinds of colors and he was walking on this road and there was a look of deep concern on his face and he got to this this crossroads and he looked up at the stoplight he looked to the left and to the right and he got in the middle of this intersection and just stood there and he began to kind of turn around looking and he fell down on his face and begin to cry and this scene and the definition of that was pretty clear to me my pastor is desperate for direction he's desperate for direction I don't know what he's faced I don't know what kind of decision he's making but he is desperate for direction and a spirit a demon spirit began to fight me in that prayer meeting because there was something holding back that word that God was trying to give him and I was by myself folks this is before I was preaching I was by myself and I'm telling you I dealt with all these things in my bedroom where nobody was watching and when it was over that spirit was busted and broken and my pastor gained a word from God the direction and I was the intercessor now there probably was more but I know I was one of the intercessors that made that possible do you know how valuable prayer warriors are to the kingdom of God somebody has got to fill the gap somebody has got to be willing to push aside the plate and push aside the entertainment and push aside the normal schedule and say God what do you want me to worry about I want to be an intercessor and God if God can trust you with that you will be given access to a realm of information in the spirit that will be used for the glory of the kingdom of God Romans 8:26 the Bible says likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities but we know not what we should pray for as we ought but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered I think it's important for us to note that the most powerful way to pray is unintelligibly illogically the kind of prayer that won't make sense to nobody that's the most powerful kind of prayer you can pray won't make sense to you either where God has totally taken over where spirit is in control of the flesh I want to tell you something I'm always looking for the place where God can take over whether it's one I'm preaching whether it's when I'm singing whether it's when I'm when I'm in a prayer meeting whatever I'm doing I'm looking for the place where that breath of God is coming and where God wants to take over that's what made John the Baptist so powerful he preached until Jesus showed up and then he got out of the way and let Jesus have his way and that is where God is taking this church right now God is taking this church to a place where you are going to become exceedingly sensitive to the flow of the Spirit like never before and there's just gonna be a random breath of God that comes over maybe in the singing and maybe in the preacher where Pastor Soto is preaching and maybe maybe maybe in the shakin of hands I don't know but there's gonna be a sensitivity that is given to you to recognize there is something happening right now and it's gonna be like a wind comes over this church and God is going to just randomly do what he wants to do it's the truth it's the truth that's what we're seeking for folks that's the most effective thing that can happen for everybody for every saint for every visitor for whoever that is the most effective thing that can happen is when the Spirit of God just takes over everything everything takes over everything and the flesh must always defer to spirit this is why Paul said what is it then I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the understanding also I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the understanding also the focus must be spirit first and if we can explain everything that's happening in our services I think we probably missed it I think we really probably missed it we can explain everything God wants to take over this place I'm telling you the truth when I am praying for you folks and before I got here and even this week when I've been praying I had like three different prayer meetings today I've been in the presence of the Lord and while I'm praying I see something I see something like a wind just gushing in here and it's not it's not something that that you thought of it's not something that you came up with it's literally the Spirit of God saying okay I'm taking the reins now watch what I'm gonna do you've been faithful you've been hungry you've been thirsty you've been aggressive you've been sacrificed sinner you've been faithful you've been faithful now watch what I'm gonna do watch what I can do but there's got to be somebody willing just say you know what I'm gonna bridge the gap I'm gonna get where God can't do what he wants to do through me lift your hands to the Lord and let your voice out for a moment shaba daba caba hiya [Applause] [Music] I'm an economist at Ibaka a Taliban shandola bakuto double cushion dedicated I'm just giving you what I've been taught and pastor pastor can put the balance on this and I submitted that you could stay standing I'm done just giving you what I've been taught all my life brother sister Varnum taught us that every single service every time we come together we're looking for the place where God wants to take over even on our schedule at the very top of the schedule all it says something like all things on the schedule are subject to the will of the Holy Ghost we got our songs planned out we got our lessons planned out and we got our visitor reception afterwards and everything that we did is holes Harborne we had all this stuff but everything is subject to the will of the Holy Ghost and sometimes the Holy Ghost says you know what first song I want to take over or or you know what Duren brother in the middle of brother soto service he's just gonna do something and and i'm something just gonna kick in gear and the intercessors are sensitive to that people that have been praying before church ever started you can feel the shift and if you are in a box if you are scared if you are intimidated you'll keep your mouth shut because they're saying on the schedule okay let's take it listen you got to be you got to be willing got to be willing to be rebuked gotta have thick skin I've been shut down by my pastor and and I loved him for it you got to be willing to be rebuke but my lord there are mighty intercessors in this church I'm here to strengthen you tonight you are sensitive to these things God is drawing the intercessors of this church together he is drawing your spirits together he is emphasizing your importance you are the key to revival and the fire falling in this church do what you feel if it's if it's not the right thing pastor we'll let you know so let's know but you got to be willing to do what you feel because intercessors are not normal worshipers rail Warriors are not normal you're not happy with this I know you're not I know you're not happy with that I know you're not satisfied we're just doing other people are doing standing there now there there's something there's like a storm raging inside of you there's a fire churning in your soul and I'm here to tell you let go let go let go [Music] I can't

with what's in the earth he moves to the heavens and one of the greatest symbols he's given us in the heavens is the Sun the SU n explains the som Hebrews chapter 12 verse 29 hebrews chapter 12 verse 29 for our God is a consuming fire what is the Sun it's a ball of fire now watch this where I come from originally Martha's Vineyard they have beautiful beaches and so they have what they call Sun worshipers these are people that go to the beach and lay out before the Sun seemed to be a worshipper even the world understands it they call them Sun worshipers and this is the requirement you must go out from protection and expose yourself to the Sun to worship then you must expose yourself and lay down before the Sun until the Sun changes you you don't have to tell somebody you don't have to ask somebody if you've been in the Sun at the same token you can tell somebody when they've had a lot of Sun you can tell them you can specially in the winter months you don't have to wonder if they stayed here in Wisconsin where'd you go just the Sun has transformed their image literally their looks it transfer and that's why when your true Sun worshiper you will come out from the protective covering of the world that shield you from the love of God you will begin to peel off your armor and expose yourself to God you will lay down before God until God changes you and a true Sun worshiper doesn't just lay on his back he flips over and lays on his stomach because he wants to change all the way around [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]
