It's In The Bones | Vision Series

[Applause] Lord Jesus in this atmosphere speak through your word the service belongs to you the people belong to you this church belongs to you this moment belongs to you so now Lord seven weeks of vision kicks off right now and if it is my imagination alone it has no power but my imagination filtered through your Holy Spirit can change a region so give me the boldness to declare what you shown me and let me be unapologetic in it and my expression and then God move and demonstration power and the Holy Ghost this is my prayer in Jesus name Amen amen and amen I need somebody to give God one more praise before you take your seat one more praise before you take them one more praise before you take your seat one more a we believe the joy the Lord is your strength and I interrupted offering no preacher interrupts offering unless he believes God wants to do something else I don't have a church yet pastor aventure pray for me because I'm getting ready to go somewhere I asked the Holy Ghost to do something unprecedented in this service and so I'm asking you to give me latitude took slow with the Holy Ghost so that people leave here with miracles that cancer leaves that diseases leave that demons leaves families are turned around resources are released curses broken will anybody just roll with me I just need a couple more seal the oil over here anybody over here need anybody in the balcony I know y'all tired you had to walk a long way I love y'all pastor Todd said something during worship he said we are not we're not here for any reason other than this to get into the presence of God we're not here for what is on our timeline and what is on our run of service we are here to encounter the spirit of the Living God other than that we have wasted your time it is my endeavor over the next seven weeks to line out an outline and declare the vision of relentless church and I want you to hear my heart and I want you to receive it and I want you to see if you line up with that vision because the purpose is not to draw a crowd it's to build a committed core for too long we've had people sitting on the sidelines in entertainment mode but I do not exist to entertain you and this is not a concert we are a church and so we are going to function as a church the word will be preached we will meet the needs of those in our community that cannot do for themselves and then we will see the demonstration of power and the Holy Ghost can I get an amen vision it is what I as a leader have been tasked with speaking and declaring and then you are going to be the hands and feet of Jesus along with me and my wife and our team and we are going to watch God do things that have never been done not just here but around the world not just here but around the world Ezekiel 37 please go to Ezekiel 37 Ezekiel 37 I'm reading from the New King James Version how many people are excited about this vision series there's nothing worse than attending a church and you don't know why there's nothing worse than coming into a building and having a nice experience but the experience doesn't change you nor motivate you to change it would be a disservice to the Spirit of God to scintillate your emotions without giving you substance for your soul very quiet in this church the purpose of vision is to help you and I to get on the same page and if I speak what the Lord has given me to say then you will know that you're in the right place or perhaps there's another place more suitable to your persona I'm under no illusion that I'm not everybody's pastor but I'm somebody's pastor in every Church that's open to lift up the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we should work together there is nothing worse than an insecure pastor who wants to see other people fail so they can feel good about themselves as a devil Ezekiel 37 says this the hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley and it was full of bones then he caused me to pass by them all around and behold there were very many in the open valley and indeed they were very dry they weren't just regular dry it was extra crispy dry they had been dead a long time the bones weren't dried they were up in the balcony they were on the floor they were on line they were y'all on line really shout out to our relentless online family we love you so much we thank the Lord for your faithfulness to be clear there will be a moment where you will be able to sew but I did not want you to sew until you could see I wanted you to hear the vision because I need you to know what you're sewing into yes I believe in faith but I also believe in transparency I'm trying I'm trying for too long people that played manipulating games look over here while I do this over there no let me give you the vision make it plain so you understand that you're not sowing into a man you're sowing into the kingdom I wish somebody would help me try and not just dry bones very dry and he said to me son of man he said to me John he said to me pastor can these bones live so I answered Oh Lord God you know again he said to me prophesied to these bones and say to them Oh dry bones hear the word of the Lord thus says the Lord God to these bones surely I will cause breath to enter into you and you shall live I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you cover you with skin and put breath in you and you shall live somebody say you shall live somebody needs to hear that so that spirit of depression that's been lingering in your family and messing with your mind and messing with your sleep and messing with your peace and messing with your hope and messing with your joy can go back to the pit of hell from where it pain I need you to say it with some power and with some authority because you don't know what people are going through next to you tell them look them in the eye and say you shall live I need you to worship right there because somebody just got free from the spirit of suicide no we're gonna praise right there right there God says you shall live twice when God repeats himself it's not because he didn't hear himself the first time anytime God repeats himself it is to ratify a covenant between heaven and earth he's giving you two lives in one he's giving your mortal body life but then he's giving you spiritual life so that you can perpetuate a legacy that will outlast you which means today he's giving double for your trouble I need 16 people to hear what I just said for every place of attack that you've gone through in the last eight years he's giving you 16 years worth of blessing yeah [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Cuffy has to start something over eight is the new beginning yes outside watch this and you didn't realize it cuz you've been fighting you've been sowing you've been serving but the Apostle pasta Jonathan wave your hand real quick pastor Darius where you stand up wave quickly we were talking last night until about 2:00 in the morning and he said on this in the seventh year the land has to rest and it's going to produce and then it starts over you don't know because you've been sowing like I haven't seen anything I need you to know you should probably look over your shoulder because it's coming the Bible says the blessing of the Lord will overtake you which means it's tracking you down right now who did not know it but harvest came early this year [Applause] if I be a man of God these words will not fall to the ground there are people in this room that people have stolen your inheritance and God is going to triple what they took so you have enough for you your children and your children's children now I need somebody to believe the Word of God and when I show you in the word then you will know that it is the voice of the Lord he said you shall live twice natural life and a spiritual life that will outlast you she already saw it it ain't even time for offering that's when you know I told you to hold it till the end he says you shall live and you will know that I am the Lord God is about to resurrect the thing that you thought wasn't just there but it was so dead it could never get up and he said that's the only way you gonna know it was me it ain't a man it's not a husband it's not a wife it's not a spouse it's not a boss it's not a supervisor no one will be able to get the credit for what God is about to do saint god for doctors thank god for nurse practitioners thank God for medicine but I want you to know the reason why it hasn't worked yet is because God wanted to get the credit and the glory bring Abel up here bringing bringing bringing bringing bringing bringing just in case you thought it was a game I said just in case you thought it was a game the last time he was on this platform he had an oxygen tank now he's on a platform [Applause] [Applause] God is able for those who don't know his name is Abel I just needed to devil to see what we said son of man can these bones he was dependent on oxygen this week he was swimming without oxygen do you know what a slap in the face that is to the devil when a baby who needed oxygen takes is underwater and doesn't need to pay use oxygen underwater unless you up do you understand God effective healing he's making a fool of the devil Wow [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] stop it right now stop it y'all need to calm down let's calm down that kind of play bring some miracle to go wrong the stop hey elder breaking up [Music] [Applause] [Applause] I need you to self you shall live I need you to shout it like you believe it say you shall live [Applause] God says in Ezekiel 37 and 7 so I prophesied as I was commanded and as I prophesied there was a noise and suddenly a rattling and the bones came together bone to bone suddenly there was a noise freeze I'm gonna have to rewind because they're prophetic they shouted early and then when I spoke it y'all missed it so let me so I prophesied as I was commanded by God and as I prophesy freeze which means right now I need to start speaking things into the atmosphere or a prophet needs to speak into the atmosphere and while the word is being released there has to be a noise signifying I agree and a rattling apostle come here quickly apostle Jonathan Ferguson just happened to come into town so if someone prophesies while he's speaking there needs to be a sound of agreement a suddenly sound a rattling noise a peculiar South some of y'all are nervous cuz y'all didn't come for change you came for a show the show has been over we interrupt this service to bring you the holy ghost as the word of god is released somebody needs to respond with a shout [Music] [Applause] I speak over your mind I speak over your finances I commend the standard of God to be raised i commended the enemy against your life against your assignment against our inheritance of get your legacy break its power a break

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] but this is what I heard the Lord sing because you have to be dry very dry bones to not feel the anointing and the good news is even if you were very try you about to live today and one thing I know when mentors like this are set up by God there are witches that are positioned in the camp my mouth never gets drier unless there's a witch and God told me to tell the witch if you don't shut your mouth you're gonna choke don't the witness there you sound like you go to church I think's in a cellar you up in the kingdom yes sir he does not know he does not know that security told me two weeks ago that there were witches on campus casting spells and they drove them off the campus they were casting spells we don't know who they are it doesn't matter who they are but I need you to understand that some devil wants to stop what God wants to do and when he finishes there's a word in here almost I will get to this word but do witches really think you won't stop what the Holy Ghost wants to do you messin with the wrong church you messin with the wrong [Applause] [Music] the tonk of that the sphere then the silence every which come on raise your voice put your unknown language I have the Lord saying foreign anointings foreign languages performing an audix watch this listen what's about to happen in his atmosphere because this man's voice God has raised up to literally hit nations and God told me just for here and something I have to say but he said as you pray in that other language hear me as a man of God hear me as a man of God because if you do not have that language as of yet you will have in the next 30 seconds I don't care whatever syllables come to she's getting feel right now she's getting feel right now and as it is with her so shall they be for you that's too and this promise is to you and your children and it's here upon touch with your hands really hard they're such a grace in here there's such a cloud in here I have to prop us at home can i proper some Tisha Campbell can you sinner can you stand up Gossett today I answer the prayers of the maidservant in your family people have no idea how you got to where you were but the world didn't raise you so the world won't be able to take you that they have black Oscars from you they have blocked awards from you but God said no today the Lord your God shall move you into a new inheritance [Applause] there are three contracts pending before you that God shall cause you to step into and if you fund the kingdom God says what they offer shall be put a tithe of what I'm sitting after you better shout [Applause] don't give the lasers shall I say lift your voice [Applause] it'll be a time of what was taken so 10 times what they took [Applause] and it shall be and it shall be if you are a visitor this is not the time to leave I'm so tired of us putting a time limit on God when we really don't have anything to do this afternoon and if you do I don't mean any disrespect to you if you have to go to work I understand but I'm gonna finish this word [Applause] but the word must-have demonstration or we just had a gathering without the holy ghost tell somebody it's in the bones hey Tim it's in the bones everything that's been held up everything that was taken it has to come back to you now ten times over it's in the bones does anybody notice it's been raining a lot around here do you know why it's it's not a weather pattern we're hitting up against something in the atmosphere Daniel prayed and fasted 21 days the angel showed up I said you God heard you the first time but I was detained by the Prince over the region until Michael that warring Ainsworth at you don't want to mess with she showed up and broke the atmosphere please hear me we are here relentless church exists for a purpose bigger than your wildest imagination and I'm getting ready to tell you that before we declare what shall be we must first acknowledge what is we are in Greenville South Carolina a city of sixty thousand people in the Greenville proper area two hundred and fifty thousand in the county five million in the state why did God call this church into being what is relentless church why is relentless church and who is relentless church the what what is relentless church we are an answer to a request from heaven Isaiah six and eight also I heard the voice of the Lord saying whom shall I send and who will go for us then I said Here I am send us I need you to hear me we did not come to this church for a career move we don't believe in that we believe in listening to the Holy Ghost I need you to understand what God thinks of the region Oh help me and pastor aventure were in Houston Texas a city of six million people the gross domestic product of the city is bigger than the state of South Carolina I'm saying that to give you a context for what God is doing why was I there five years five the number of grace grace period why did God train us at the highest levels of ministry in the largest church in America and then send us to a city with 1% of the population of the place we came from because he wants to multiply it a hundredfold somebody I don't even know why you moved some of y'all have recently moved you didn't know why God was positioning you for the move that's coming Oh help me Holy Ghost I need somebody to hear this in the spirit if I were you I'd be right here I wouldn't go anywhere I don't care what they say Oh Charlotte girl who you need to go to Atlanta there's a move of God happening right in the middle did anybody hear what I say how many people drove more than 45 minutes to get here today how many people drove more than an hour anybody drive more than two [Applause] who drove between two and three hours anybody drive for hours I need y'all to see people don't drive for hours to play games they try for hours what's being in the reef [Music] leadership is not about what you have it's about what you see God asked me what I see can these bones live relentless church was established off the backbone of another church redemption church the great apostle Ron carpenter and pastor ho carpets the challenge is will people connect to the new move while honoring the first move without dishonouring the next move there are people who were upset why'd you change the name I didn't change the name pastor Ron took Redemption and they're in California we had to change the name because Redemption still exists that's why Redemption had to become relentless because once you are redeemed you've got to run after Souls like you've lost mine is there anybody that understands we are the next evolutionary step [Applause] God said who will go to Greenville for us some people wouldn't go to Greenville because they only see a building we came because we saw the region we have vision because we understand that the church is not supposed to be the place you visit two hours a week on Sunday the church is supposed to have economic impact over a region do you know that fortune 500 companies are about to move here because we're here did you know Amazon is coming i prophesy anime mister they sitting there it will really I said Amazon is coming I don't know how but they gonna play this tape when they do multi-billion dollar corporations God's gonna whisper to them and they're gonna come into the region did you know that the glory of God can attract folk that ain't even thinking about God why do you think they're doing all this construction because we need more space for all the cars better I told you to hold your offering until I told you the vision son of man can these bones live prophesy so let me prophesy about what relentless church is and shall be we are a multi-generational multi-denominational multicultural kingdom of Holy Ghost filled believers and I am a preacher who will preach the uncompromising gospel of Jesus Christ I am NOT here for your entertainment bring it down I need them to hear this I'm not here to entertain you I don't need you to validate me I am NOT insecure I Know Who I am any pastor that needs his church to validate him has already lost because he will submit to the will of people over the will of God I don't serve you I serve God for you too many men want the worship to come to them instead of flowing through them back to God we will lift up Jesus we will not compromise the word to please a shifting culture we will break the back of racism in this region this church will lay down culture and pick up the kingdom did you hear what I said world leaders are coming in these doors influencers cultural influences in every area of enterprise entertainment sports and politics to the highest levels of office we'll come in here and receive a word from God and we can be trusted with the resources that are coming and I prophesy now that supernatural open doors for businesses opportunities I declare that people who are tithers we will sew micro loans into your small business did you hear what I said we are going to have a halfway house for transitional women who are coming out of abusive relationships so that the women and their children can be covered in a housing unit that is safe clean and guard gated with 24-hour Second Amendment men of God they are armed with the word and they are armed play with us if you want to but I'm not playing with no Devils we're gonna cover our widows we're gonna cover our orphans we're gonna cover our veterans we're covering our elderly we are going to meet the needs of this community since I've been pastor on in May we have served 1025 families two thousand seven hundred and forty five individuals forty-four thousand six hundred and seventy two pounds of food in two months that's what we're doing with the money that's what we're doing with tithes and offering meeting the needs of the house is anybody hearing what I'm saying does anybody else want to hear the rest of the vision Church is not here to entertain you this is not a concert this is worship they are not stars they are pastors I need you to hear you can stand your ass it whatever you want to do because I feel the Holy Ghost - but you like I don't know what the we are here because God sent us why is relentless Church here God wanted a church that would take the region I want to okay you see what they missed it so I'm gonna come over here we're not here to have church picnics and just be cute we're here to take territory I don't want Haywood Road I want the whole county I said I want the whole county and then I want the state then we'll take the region mark chapter 5 there's a man with two thousand demons Jesus shows up and tells the demons come out of him and they start snarling and begging please what did they ask don't send us out of the region the reason why we've been feeling warfare is because there are demons who know that's some folk with authority that are kicking them out of the ring you don't notice but your marriage is about to see a level of beauty romance and restoration because the Principality over this region has to go the sickness and the depression and the heaviness that's been sitting on you for years is about to leave in the next 24 hours because we're about to kick the principality out of the region Devils don't mind being cast out of bodies they do mind being cast out of regions this church sets a marker the Bible says I who hold the key of David who opens and no one shuts shuts and no one opens I've said before you an open door hear me Jesus said I have the keys to death hell and the grave are those the keys he had did you hear what I said there are keys to the kingdom God does not make duplicate keys if he made duplicates then Jesus wouldn't have had to get the keys from Satan God could have just made him new keys but you don't know and nobody knew is that Greenville is a key to a region watch this the lock is not the door but it keeps the door open or closed the lock is small compared to the door the door is Atlanta the door is Atlanta the door is Charlotte but you know what's in the middle if you unlock Greenville you unlock the region I need a hundred people on this side and 300 on that side to lift up a sound that breaks the ceiling in half I need somebody to lift up [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] what is relentless church an answer to a request from heaven why is relentless church we are here to take an unlock a region and then who can be a part of relentless church Matthew 22 Jesus says that the father invited them Nobles to a banquet and the nobles was like I don't want to come to your banquet I'm not going to attend the Bible says the king was angry said to his servants go out to the highways and hedges invite everybody you see both bad and good who that messes with the safe church people who don't want anybody coming in that doesn't wear church clothes they're nervous when people walk in with tattoos smelling like cigarette smoke oh my gosh you smell like reefer yeah but you smell like Pride smoke that God says invite everybody relentless Church it's not going to turn anyone away who wants to hear the word of the Lord I'm not gonna compromise the word to please people you got the wrong one if you want somebody that's gonna be tender and scared you got the wrong one I'm gonna preach this book but we're gonna love people and let the Holy Ghost do the convicting but we gonna love everybody stay out of folks business you got enough stuff you need to deal with just love the person next to you stop gossiping texting and tweeting and direct messaging trying to find out who's doing what and sleeping with who you need to handle your own issues we are gonna keep them doors open for whoever wants to walk in we're going to disciple them there are no overnight projects if it takes 20 years we're gonna walk with you till somebody gets in the bones finally as a pastor we have had an unhealthy interaction with pastors because pastors in the Western world want glory for themselves and they use the pulpit to get it set themselves up as objects of worship as opposed to being servants of the people me and my wife want to serve God walk out in community with you the principles of the word raise our kids go to the baseball game like tomorrow eat good food have balance we're not gonna be speaking in tongues every second of the day we're going to go to sky Zone and jump on the trampoline we're still saved if we wear shorts if you marry please turn the gospel music off and turn the romantic music on that's why your marriage is a mess now cuz you so saved and you forgot how to slow dance and grabbed her by her ministry we will have healthy marriages here we're gonna build strong men here we're not gonna emasculate our men we don't have real men grown men men that love God we're gonna worship God and eat chicken wings and eat Mountain Dew and watch the football game to talk about sports and politics in the action movie and then we're gonna be filled with the Holy Ghost that we're gonna serve the community and we're gonna get these kids off the street and the ones that don't have fathers are gonna have a covering and we're gonna teach folks how to be a man and we're going to love our wives and we're going to raise our kids and we're gonna build a healthy community and our women are gonna be on fire for God walking in power and authority owning their own businesses writing books scripts stage plays the top minds and health care and finance and education folk gonna get married in here barren wombs gonna be open in here in the next 12 months I declare you will be holding the thing you've been praying for 12 months from today [Applause] it is not the job of the pastor to do all the work Acts chapter six the Apostles said we need to find people who are trained who are skilled watch this help me Holy Ghost now in those days when the number of disciples was multiplying there arose a complaint against the Helenus against the Hebrews by the Helenus because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution and the Twelve Apostles summoned the multitude of disciples and said it is not desirable that we should leave the Word of God and serve tables it's not dishonouring tables what they were saying is that I've got to get this word so I need people who will be the hands and feet of Jesus therefore seek out among you seven men of good reputation full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom who we may appoint over this business it's not just men but it's women as well we call them the relentless elders all my elder stand up all my relentless elders stand up turn around and let the people see you let them see you I asked them are they with me in division and these were the ones that said yes and I declare right now by the power of the Holy Ghost whatever is good and pure and integral in me a double portion goes upon each one of you for the effective work of ministry to be the hands and feet of Jesus when you lay hands on laying hands so the cancer has to go when you put your hands on it demons have to leave when you put your hands on them the job of the pastor is not to bury every person do every wedding and do every single thing my primary function is to pray preach the word so that you can be the hands and feet of Jesus by week seven of this series you will be challenged to get off the sidelines and onto the playing field stop coming to church getting all this word and doing nothing with it nobody wants to clap on that everybody in here has a gift and you're gonna use it I said everybody in here has a gift and you're going to use it did you hear what I said and so I declare that what is in you will be unlocked nobody is allowed to sit there and just take all the word and then not do something with it God needs you on the playing field I say God needs you in the playing field which God are you speaking of Pastor John a God who creates universes with his mouth but the only thing he put his hand on was you so now before we check out because the enemy has us conditioned that at one o'clock whatever we were doing for God is over even though he said remember the Sabbath to keep the whole day holy but never mind we've decided that by 1 o'clock that's normally our time to check out so I'm challenging you because before we go I'm gonna give you an opportunity to sow and this is now for our online family as well I want to tell you right now if the Lord has spoken to you to give prepare what's in your heart to give right now but before you give I want you to hear this song pastor Anna prepare I just need you to take a moment to worship because there is a vision but it is bigger than what you see it is a part of something so much more vast we serve a God who creates universes but the most precious thing he created was the church and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it I need you to look at the screen very quickly this is where Jesus was speaking to the disciples about Caesarea Philippi who do men say that I the Son of Man am the cave that you see by the green trees was a cave where pagans actually did detestable things with animals hoping that a pagan God would bless their fertility and so they did horrible awful detestable things in this region Jesus took his disciples to the worst possible place and said who do men say that I am because the church is not to be built in a safe place church needs to get dirty church needs to be around the broken the lost the hurting listen to me Jesus brought them here because it was believed that that cave was the gate to hell so when he says upon this rock he was talking about the top of that cliff what he was saying is I'm a bill my church with hell under my seat and the gate of Hell will not prevail against it he wasn't just talking about the revelation Peter got he was talking about the physical foundation that what the devil was trying to build Jesus was gonna build on top of it [Applause] [Music]
