John Kilpatrick: "Getting Your House In Order"

your Bibles please and stand with me as we turn to the Book of Isaiah Isaiah chapter number 60 this is a message that everywhere I go the Holy Spirit has told me that everywhere I go every church I go through every conference wherever I go I'm to preach this some of you may have heard this message before if you've heard me preach before but I want you to hear it again this is a word from the Lord it's the strong word I want to warn you before I preach tonight that this is a strong word from God I want you to hear it God's not playing with us anymore he's let us go through a famine to show us just how bad we need him churches all across America has gone through times where they wondered why in the name of God am I going to church what's there they knew the Lord was real they knew his word was true but so many people across America now have been just going to church perfunctorily and not really getting much out of it and not really seeing much reality of the power of God in their life on a day to day basis we've been through a famine and I want to tell you something else I believe with all my heart that most the greatest majority of the American church including Pentecostals have been backslidden many of them didn't know it so I want to talk about that tonight and I want you to let God talk to your heart I'm gonna cover seven areas and I'll go through them as quickly as possible I know many of you have to get up and go to work in the morning and I'm going to keep that in my heart but at the same time we don't get shots like this ever so you know we don't give them too often like this and so whenever we come we want to make the most out of it we want to talk to you about what God is doing and what God wants to do in your life at the end of the service I'm going to be praying for you if you want prayer get your mind off of me and get your mind on the Lord because there's no man yet been able to do nothing for your friend is God and you may go to the floor and you may not go to the floor the issue is not going to the floor the issue is letting God touch your heart and if you get say if you get touched if you get delivered if you get healed whatever happens to you tonight God will do it and it won't be me so I want you to know that but there is an anointing and there is an outpouring and there is an impartation of the Holy Spirit that's taking place I don't understand all of it I'm a participant with it it happened to me and everywhere we go and I just want to tell you this in confidence that everywhere we go no matter if it's Brownsville are outside Brownsville wherever we go Steve and I go out together or if I go separately any time we open up after the altar call we're going to give an altar call tonight - for those of you that need to come back to God those of you need to come to God for the first time we're going to give an altar call but after the altar call going to open up the front of this building we're going to be praying for people and I've never been out one time at that River didn't begin to flow and many of you will feel it it is a literal River and as a literal current and it's wonderful it's the power of God as the glory of God is wonderful but I want to tell you this it comes from the Lord so don't get your mind on the current don't get your mind on the river get your mind on God it all comes from him okay Isaiah chapter number 60 it says arise shine for thy light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee for behold the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people but the Lord shall arise upon you and his glory shall be seen upon you you may be seated I want to tell you three quick things about the glory of the Lord I'm going to tell you three quick things how many of you tonight wants to your truth I know you didn't come to be entertaining I know you came to hear the truth so I want you to get ready to hear some truth it may hurt you it may sting you a little bit it may embarrass you but I want you to get ready to hear some truth because God's going to talk to all of us one thing that I had to do is I had to unexpectedly learn a crash course on God's glory no it's not anything separate or extracurricular from the word it's not anything separate from God but it is part of God Himself the glory of the Lord is powerful I had to learn a crash course on God's glory and it started with me on Father's Day we've heard so much about anointing we've heard so much about Authority we've heard a lot about confession we've heard a lot about the faith walk and all those things I think are important and powerful but the one thing that God is doing in these days is he's trying to introduce his people once again as he did even in the Old Testament he's trying to introduce us once again to his glory there's three three quick things I want to tell you about the glory number one God desires to manifest his glory on his people that's his desire the Bible says arise shine for thy light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee behold darkness it says the darkness shall cover the earth how many of you feel at times like darkness is now covering the earth maybe you feel that way I want to tell you friend there is a darkness today that is covering the earth there is two parallels taking place one is that wickedness and evil is waxing worse and worse it's not getting any better and it will not get any better there is coming a man by the name of Antichrist there is coming a time called jacob's trouble a seven year period that God is set aside called the tribulation and the Great Tribulation it will culminate in Armageddon is going to be a hellish time right now we are eclipsing and we're beginning to blend this dispensation of grace is coming to a close and now we're beginning to slice into and to fade into that time of Jacob's trouble we're right at the coming of the Lord I believe that this cut that this revival that God has sent not only to Brownsville but other parts of the world I believe that this revival may be the last end time revival that we've all heard preached about all of our life that's been in Pentecost I believe that that may be part of it the Browns will may be part of it but God is moving also in other parts of the world and America so God desires to manifest his glory but he says darkness is going to come and he said it's going to cover the earth and he said gross darkness to people whenever he said gross darkness to people what do you think he means by that he means gross darkness is going to cover people and friend I want to tell you something tonight I don't know if you know or if you've experienced it but I have been in the ministry long enough that I have now begin to experience God letting gross darkness come upon people I've never seen people so deceived and bind it as they are today I've never seen humanity so hopeless and so helpless as they are today the reason why people start gathering outside a brownsville assembly of god at four o'clock every morning now they start gathering at four o'clock in the morning our services are over at midnight to one o'clock at four o'clock in the morning a new crew is coming from around the world and across america and they start gathering at four o'clock by noon there will be a thousand people outside by six o'clock there will be thousands of people outside waiting to get in the church when the doors open at six o'clock and whenever I see people gathering like that and they come and there's such hunger people are so desperate today for God like I've never seen because gross darkness is even now while I speak intensifying in darkening and thickening over humanity but the Lord said as darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the people I will let my glory rise upon you and I will cause you to shine one thing I noticed right off the bat about this revival and it was odd whatever God moved in there on Father's Day it was the most awesome thing I have ever beheld and I won't go into the details because there's too many details and it's too awesome to really try to talk about in a few minutes I would just eat up a lot of time I've never dreamed that I could feel God and experience God for one day much less one on 18 months now every night it's the most awesome thing I used to feel god powerfully and I'd go through cycles where I feel him in where I didn't feel him I'm being honest with you and I would preach even though I didn't see him and God would be faithfully and come true didn't like me to a degree just like you would any other preacher but I never dreamed it was possible to feel God that consistently and to even have him in home not just at church but at home too and one of the things I noticed as soon as revival was poured out is that God began to touch people's lives powerfully I'm mean powerfully people I pastored for years I've been I will be the pastor of Brownsville for 15 years this coming February I'll be there 15 years so I know these people and I know that I've seen people this never moves ever good people Christian people people of integrity and character a good testimony but they never were moved by anything Brownsville has always been a steady Church not moved by every wind of doctrine not move by sensationalism just steady but people that have depth and love God but on Father's Day of 1995 it was just like dynamite exploded in that church and bodies were being hurled every whichaway bodies were flying to the left that were flying to the right it was like somebody pulled a pin on a grenade and tossed it out in the audience from that section and bodies were just going everywhere down in the spirit and then Pam over here in the middle sections of the church they were just flying every which way and then BAM over there in that section people were just falling everywhere nobody was touching them the power of God just moved in like a bulldozer and it was awesome I've been in a church all my life and I've never seen anything like it and so in the subsequent weeks to come after that why I'm telling you the rumor of what God started on Father's Day began to spread and instantly the crowds were there instantly there's never been one services Father's Day of 1995 that morning service there's never been one day that church hasn't been completely full people in the balcony everywhere it's been full every time last Friday night was the largest church service we've ever had 18 months later it was the largest service we've ever had 7500 people there they were in all the buildings that were sitting in the floor they were studying on the stage they were sitting in the floor of the chapel they were in Sunday school rooms that were up the hallways and they were outside in the grass 7500 people and my did the glory of God even come down then God's not impressed with crowds friend where two or three are gathered together in my mate I am in the midst of them saith the Lord but I have never seen people so hungry as they are today for God people are starving for God they're what they're looking for reality and pray let me tell you something today the world is turning to psychic readers and they're turning the witches and they're turning the wizards and they're turning to new age and the occult Ponzi but the people that know Oh God our turning to the Lord like I've never seen people are hungry for God today people will drive they will fly they will swim they will hike they'll do whatever they have to do to get to where they think God is moving people's hungry after God and I tell you God wants you to be hungry after him I believe that for requisite for revival is hunger but one thing I began to notice right off the bat I begin to hear this and he kept coming to me I heard it from the choir I heard it from the worship team I heard it from the staff I heard it from church people and I began to investigate it that's why the Lord gave me this message he said son everywhere you go I want you to preach this message and here's what I begin to hear families that would lay on the carpet together families that would be out of the spirit under the power of God really out in the spirit not faking it not putting on but I mean out down for the count for hours when that thing first broke out on Father's Day four months after that I'll say weeks and weeks and weeks after that Steve and I many times would leave at five o'clock in the morning four or five three four five o'clock in the morning many mornings we leave in the Sun would already be coming up in the east when we cranked up our car and pull away and we've been there since 7 o'clock the night before you couldn't leave friend you'd be praying for people like down this aisle for example they'd just be people everywhere and you'd be praying for people and an unseen force of the power of God would come in and you could feel it coming past you sometimes you can feel it going through you absolutely through you like a whim and like a river would come through you and and it would begin to come through you to hit that crowd that she's about to pray for and everybody like dominoes would topple and you wouldn't say anything it would just happen and they would be down for hours and you couldn't get them up under the power of God I mean the chiefest of sinners coming and getting saved chiefest of sinners God drawn him like a bug to a light and get them in there and saving them and clean them up and filling them with the power of the Holy Ghost and another thing I noticed just like the other night in baptismal pool we are baptism was on Friday night in the last Friday night was so powerful Friday night was a week ago they had two lesbians that worked at a big place in Pensacola I won't call the name of the place and one of their supervisors was sitting on the platform that goes to our church and I've been pastoring her for years and she heard them testifying the baptismal poo when she saw them in the baptismal pool she looked up like these were lesbians that had been living together for years and were blatant with it militant lesbians they would stick it in your face that they were living together and what she gonna say about it and they raised children together and they stood there one of they stood there separately they didn't get the pool together but they stood there and wept and sobbed and shook under the power of God that baptism of poo and repented and said I am so sorry that I've live the life of the lesbian I was unhappy the whole time and I felt the judgment of God and I wanted to turn but I couldn't turn but when I came to the altar God broke that power of lesbianism off of me God broke it off of me and the woman said I call my son up after I got saved I said son can you ever forgive mama for raising you in that hellhole and she said her little boy that she raised up in that hill the mess of lesbianism said to her mama my prayers have been answered right behind her came the other lesbian that was her lover for all those years and the power of God was all over her and she was shaking on the power of God both of them you see Fran what's been happening is so many people have felt the right of the penalty of their sin but there was not enough power there to lay the axe to the root of their sin you see there's a difference in the penalty of sin and the power of sin the Bible said let not sim therefore have dominion over you it's one thing to be worried about sin but it's quite another thing to have the power of that thing broken over your life there's as many homosexuals in church congregations as there is in the world there's as much divorce in the church as there is in the world there is much illegitimate children being born in the church as there is out there in the world and they hate their sin but they didn't have the power to turn from it I've got news for you God is showing up oh yeah God shorter friends by the power of the Spirit of God and now he's not only forgiving us for the penalty of this thing but he's breaking the back of the power of that tent over us photographers that have been hooked on pornography all their life are being delivered miraculously by the power of God free animal tail leopard cannot change his spots but you let the Holy Ghost get ahold of that leopard and he can make whatever he wants to out of it God can take a soul on the way to kill Christians he's a murderer he's a blasphemer and he's breathing out curses under his breath and God can touch him in a split second and make him write most of the New Testament in your Bible praying I would say if you've got children this away from God and if you've got kids his back slid and maybe you all wear the name of God they are the Holy Ghost knows where they are and I'll tell you the Lord will get them he'll arrest them he lie for him them he'll change them he'll turn them around and he'll set their feet on higher ground you better hear me I know what I'm talking about hallelujah come holy go stay with me come holy go sit again come Holy Ghost I'm so tired of dead religion I'm so tired of three songs and an offering and prayer requests and a little sermon I'm so sick of it I don't know what to do friend I got so burned out on it I got so burned out on it one morning I was getting ready for church and I walked out on my back porch and I said to the Lord before revival broke out I said God I'm so sick of this religious church mess until for the first time in my life I don't want to go to church this morning and I had to preach I wasn't thankfully I was still praying but it wasn't time yet sometimes we get so highfalutin and big for our britches and we think we know how to help church without the Lord the Lord will pull back and let us have it but print I got so sick of it I said God if you don't go up I'm out of here I'd rather pump gas or sweep floors for some corporation than the goals of the ministry without the power of the Holy Ghost somebody's gone hallelujah I tell you what I feel sorry for pastors because I am one I feel sorry for pastors whose churches don't want to go with a move of God they're bucking against the very thing that they need they're bucking against the very thing that's going to be the lifeblood of the church in these last days and I tell you if you're praying get ahold of God just two or three of you God can send the fire and turn that whole thing around well hallelujah anyway I got to hearing this and I got to hearing that and I said something's wrong I'd see people had been on the floor for hours and they said on the way home they'd get in a fight and they thought for a while you know it's just devil fighting them you know we got so blessed at church was just the devil and then I got to hearing it more and more I got stable Lord what is it because before revival broke out the glory of the Lord had already begun to come in our home my wife got where she could even get up out of her chair in the den for our hours at a time before revival broke out and Brown's lifestyle got all over her it made me hungry she had been touched mildly by God I couldn't I couldn't go anywhere and I couldn't do anything I was stuck with my mother that was dying but God had touched Briand I'd sit her off somewhere and she got mildly touched by the power of God it was awesome and it made me so hungry and so the glory the Lord already moved in our home before revival broke out so a revival broke out our home was an extension of the church but I begin to hear people say on the way home from church they did be fighting and fuming infested before the garage door would go up when they pull up the driveway before they stick the key in the door and lock the door they'd be at each other's throats and by the time they get in the house they'd be pouting and they'd go to bed and she'd be on her side he'd be on his side and the kids would be back there sniffling and crying because mom and dad been had big fiery they had a big fight with the kids and then they almost backed out and coming to church the next night but they came to church the next night got breast again in the floor couldn't stand up apologize to one another felt horrible about the night before and then a day or two later the same thing happened again and so they said God will be hypocrites what's wrong with us are we live in one way at church them when we get home we can't get along anymore we misfits is it time to divorce that's what people begin to reason see you see there's a problem people begin to reason in the natural we need to divorce you might need to reason like this the devil needs to be kicked out of your house you know friend let me tell you something one of these days whatever the Lord binds the devil the lion that is vicious is going to look at a lamb Lee and run under his mouth and it's going to wonder how come I'm not eating your head off because you see Jesus is going to dam the false prophet and the Beast and the Antichrist and the devil himself he's going to bind them all up and put them into hell and that vicious line it used to be so vicious it's going to be nuzzled up and warming up to lamb the problem is a devil I said the problem is the devil you probably got more devil in your home and you know about I'm gonna help you see it I didn't got the offering for him I got a full tank of gas amen turn with me Leviticus I want to show you something this to me is one of the most powerful passages in the in the scriptures well I saw this years ago this made such an impact on me and I'll begin preaching on it years ago and I understand there's books being written about it now and that kind of thing but I want to tell you something problems preached on this a long time ago I want you to hear this God told Moses and Aaron the high priest Moses the leader near in the high priest he said now listen they hadn't come into the land of promise yet they hadn't got into the land of promise this was way before they got in there but God got ahold of them and he said now look I want to give you some instruction to give to the children of Israel so they have plenty of time to chew on this before they ever get into the land of promise where I'm going to take them I'm gonna give them houses they didn't build you hear me I'm gonna give them house as they didn't construct I'm going to give them vineyards they didn't put a shovel - I'm going to give them well they never ordered and the Lord said now listen before you get into that Promised Land I want to give you something to think about and I want this to be a memorial to you and I want you to remember this when you finally come into the land of promise one day here's what he said he said if I put leprosy in a house that you're living in when you get the promised land how she didn't build if I put a symptom of leprosy in a house and he said the way you'll know is it will have green streaks and red streaks coming up from beneath the foundation up through the walls and he said if I put leprosy in the house he said you're to leave that house immediately and you're to go show it and tell the preachers go tell the priests to get the priests to come and show him the house if I put leprosy in house no God said if I put leprosy in a house leprosy in the house is to go tell the priests so if they got up one morning and they looked in the walls and there was a rain street and red streak coming up like a like a snake up the wall and they realized something was wrong and they remembered because Moses had plenty of time in the wilderness to tell them about this before they ever got in the Promised Land they said gee Whittakers look at their man we're living in a house with his green streaks and red streaks and so the Bible says that they were to tell the priest and the priest would come out there and check their house out and sure enough when the priests would come out to the house and he would look and he would see those streaks he thought everybody out empty the house closed it up for seven days after they closed it up for seven days if he came back in those green streaks and red streaks and spread he would say this is a fretting leprosy or an angry leprosy it's an active leprosy this means something's wrong in this house so the first thing they do step number one is they take the plaster off the walls and then they had emptied the dust of the plaster out in the dump on the outside the city and then they'd shut it up again for a while and then after that come back and check and the leprosy would spread again he said well this is an angry leprosy of reading leprosy tear the house down so they had to tear it down timber by timber and interestingly enough there was always something wrong whenever they begin to tear the house down it began to reveal and expose if something was wrong in the house look in Leviticus chapter 14 I want you to look at this passage of Scripture this is so far verse 33 Leviticus 14 verse 33 the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying when you be coming to the land of Canaan which I give you for possession and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession he that owns the house you'll come until the priests say it seems to me there is as it were a plague in my house then the priest will command that they empty the house before the priest goes in to check it out and all that's in the house be not made unclean and afterward the priest shall go in and see the house he shall look on the plague and behold that the plague is in the walls of the house with Hollis Street green or red which in sight are lower than the wall the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house and shut up the house seven days and the priest shall come again the seventh day and shall look and behold if the plague is spread in the walls of the house the pre-show command that they take away the stones which the plague is and they shall cast him in an unclean place outside the city and he shall cause the house to be scraped within roundabout and they shall pour out the scrapings of the dust that they scrape off the walls without side the city into an unclean place they shall take the other stones and put them in the place of those stones and he shall take other mortar and shall plaster the house again if the plague comes again and breaks out in the house after he's taken away the stones scrape the house and it's after it's been plastered then the priest will come and look and behold if the plague is spread in the house it is a frigging leprosy in the house the house is unclean he shall break down the house stones timber mortar they shall carry them forth outside the city into an unclean place moreover he that goes into the house all a while that it shut up shall be unclean until the evening he that lies in the house shall wash his clothes he that eats in the house she washes clothes if the priest shall come in and look and behold the plague is not spread in the house after the house was plastered then the house the priest shall pronounced the house clean because the plague is healed and he shall take to cleanse the house look at this two birds cedarwood scarlet and hyssop and shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water and take the cedar wood the hyssop the scarlet and the living bird and dip them in the blood of the slain bird and the running water and sprinkled the house seven times he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the running water with a living bird with a cedar wood with the hyssop and with a scarlet but he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields and make atonement for the house and it shall be clean interesting isn't it now I want to show you something about this I want you to give me your best ear for the next few minutes he's talking about a blood sacrifice for a house not a haunted house I don't believe houses are haunted I believe houses are oppressive demons there's no departed spirits friend living in a house after their body died they're either in hell or heaven I guarantee you there ain't nobody living in no house 200 years later there's demons in that house that house is oppressed but they no body there amen somebody shout Amen I don't care what the world tells you I don't care what you saw on unsolved mysteries I don't care anything about any of that stuff it's not true go to the book and the book will tell you what it's all about but God said if you have a house and I've got green streaks and red streaks coming up that wall I know something's there and he talks about making atonement for a house he told me to comb it for house not atonement for a soul yes there was a tonne of poor souls in the Old Testament sure there was but he's talking about in this passage in scripture through Levitical law given to Moses and Aaron if you have a house I put leprosy there with symptoms of green streaks and red streaks there's something wrong go show the priest priest comes back he says my god this is frigging leprosy so angry tear the house down you know what would happen let me back up a little bit and tell you what happened you see all those years Israel wandered out there in the wilderness forty years the Canaanites had heard rumors that God was going to bring Israel out of Egypt in on them and usurp them out of the land of Canaan and was going to give Israel the Canaanites houses and Wells and vineyards for forty years they lived under that rumour and they knew there was three million Jews out there in that wilderness they heard about the cloud by day they heard about the pillar fire by night they heard about the three hundred boxcars railroad boxcars of manna every morning they heard all the stories they knew God was moving among those people but I mean it took a long time forty years for forty years those Canaanites lived in fear that any moment that was going to come in on them well after forty years it happened but those Canaanites had forty years they were wicked they were evil and they were heathen they did not serve the only true God they served demon gods and if you look in the rabbinical Midrash you will find that it's alluded to that whenever Israel came in to the land of Canaan that many of those Canaanites had hoarded their gold and silver trying to hide it from the Israelis and they would hide their gold and silver beneath the foundation of their homes but before they would hide him they would melt down the gold and silver and beat him into little demon gods and hide them under their houses so whenever the walls of Jericho fell down and Israel routed all the Canaanites they moved into their houses well they're living there now for a few days a few weeks a few months and one day they woke up and they lived - my god there's and look at that green red streaking that wall there hey I remember Moses telling us when we was out there in the wilderness hey I remember something about that said oh oh yeah go show the priests so they'd go show the priests that shut the house up and come back and if you spread they say something wrong here say say tear the house down many times from the tear down that house and they get down by the foundation in the walls of the house and beneath the foundation they'd find a little demon gods that they had beaten their gold and silver into little demon gods now you're sitting out there and you might be saying this why didn't God just let it go because God's a holy God but Israel didn't know anything about it doesn't make any difference God near God knew that where his sanctified peculiar holy people were living that he had brought out with a mighty hand under the blood through the water and given him signs and wonders fire all kinds of miracles God knew that his miracle people was living in houses with demon gods buried underneath the house and in the walls of the house and God said I put leprosy in that house to show you I see something you don't know about and so when they tear down the houses they'd find those demon God's hidden and then they go back and rebuild the house and then the headpiece I want to cover seven areas with you real quick and I'm gonna go through them quickly about your home listen don't make notes just pick up a tape pick up a tape not my tape the church here want the church to make the profit off of this tape they'll make tapes for you they'll have them available you this ordering from Gary wood assembly they'll get them for you but listen to me I'm gonna give you seven areas real quick about your home and I want to ask you seven questions about your home because this is what we begin to find out about Brownsville they leave the floor under the power of God and before they got home they was fighting what was it about going home that caused them to be like this I'm gonna share seven things with you real quick this is what the Lord has told me to preach everywhere we go number one what kind of company are you keeping what kind of company are you keeping see I'm a pastor well I'm not an evangelist I'm a pastor I live with people I'll bury the bed marry the living I have board meetings I know what it's like to be criticized ridiculed I know what it's like to face the vote I know what it's like to be beat up in my office quit I know what it's like to be criticized after you didn't do too good in the sermon I know what it's like to get a raise and everybody in the church knows you got to raise and people start bickering and mouthing about it I know what all that's about I know what it's like for people to tear my wife down I know what it's like for people say about my little boys Oh they've got Dingle boots I wish my boy could afford dingo boots maybe I need to get a raise I know what I was all about friend I wasn't born yesterday I've been pastoring a long time but I won't tell you what'll kill a church and I'm gonna tell you what to kill your home quicker than anything you see listen to me in your home or in your church it's either fertile or sterile if it's fertile there's life there and there's warmth there if it's sterile there's no life there and there's a lot of Hell in your home if your home is sterile its sterile for a reason because the blessings of God is not on it and the blessings of God is not on a home because of a lot of different reasons but the main thing is sin if your home is fertile and the blessings of God are there and your home is an order your kids don't want to leave home when it comes time to get married if your home is sterile your kids can't wait to turn 18 to get out of there if your home is sterile nobody wants to have a meal around the table they want to eat peace and Yonder they won't eat in the bedroom they want to eat around the bar up at the kitchen they want to eat back in the den nobody wants to get together and be together as a family because as soon as you get together you start to start there's a sterility in your home something's wrong just as sure as I stand here if God could open up your eyes and be green streaks and red streaks in your house and you know I'm telling you the truth what kind of company are you keeping let me give you a typical assembly of God's Sunday night after church on Sunday night people have been there for the morning service in the night service they get together afterwards and they call it fellowship we're going to get together a little bit of fellowship you may go to Shoney's or you may go by and pick up some hamburgers and go home kick your shoes off we're back in the recliner and here you go boy pastor sure struggle today didn't he you know I remember when he first came to church how on fire he was I remember how anointed he was I remember we had the church was growing but you know the church to stop growing now you notice how the choir don't sing like they used to thing you know is this setting the other and then the other says yeah I've been noticing that so forth and so on and you know first thing you know what you don't really realize is you're releasing curses out of your mouth see the Bible says we the release one or two things out of our mouth blessings or curses and if you're not releasing blessings you're releasing curses I didn't say cutting cussing sob GD things like that that's cussing I'm talking about curses you know what a curse is speaking things you don't desire to come to pass you know what blessings are speaking things you desire to come to pass and you get together and it feels good to just sort of bent and say things but you don't understand you're cursing your church and you're cursing your own home by talking like that and you're causing sterility to come in your house you're raring back you've got a Pepsi in your hand you got your legs folded your shoes off in your soft feet you're just as comfortable and you're just running off at the mouth with your so-called friends and you call it fellowship and it's no wonder the next time you walk through the doors of your church the pastor study the pastor's prayed the pastor's got in here and bore the burden he sought God he's believing God for revival and you walk in here you walk in and say this thing seems so dead yeah it really is and you had a part to play in it you've been crushing your own church you been cursing your old pastor come on you've been cursing the curse you Ben Carson your pastor you've been cursing the choir you Ben Carson the board you've been cursing the Christian Education Department just everything that you can think of to talk about you just released curses all over it and no wonder the next time you walk in there's no warmth in that church people sit there they can't wait till the final Amen the nodding they're dozing they're watching their watch the place is sterile churches are either sterile or you they're fertile if they're fertile the singing is filled with the Holy Ghost it's not Talent so there's a big difference in talent and anointing somebody that don't really look too good and somebody don't really sound too good can be powerfully anointed this thing I tell you what friend I'll help become so sick and tired of the Ted Mac amateur hour in our churches where this one gets up behind the mic and tries to outdo the last one and come on I'm sick of it I don't want no more star shirts in church what we need is sunshine of the glory and the power of the Holy Ghost I probably won't have time to cover all seven but let me give you an illustration of your house dad comes in he's undisciplined he's unrestrained he takes his boy little teenage boy that he ought to be loving a nursery and remember when he was a teenager himself and he takes that little teenage boy up and he says come here boy what you've been doing all day I guess you've been laying around on your rear in all day huh you know son you make me sick matter of fact you know what I think about you I think that you're going to have a hard time making it in life you better thank God you got me as a dad and you've got your mother as a mother because if you didn't have us you'd be on the street I'll tell you something else I guess one day you'll get your girlfriend pregnant and he's going to help a child and make me and your mother so embarrassed we won't even be able to go back to church or show our face in public anymore mother says to the daughter come here get out of that room back there come here the daughter comes out 15 years old having a hellish time within herself and the mother says I thought you got home last night at 10 minutes after 12 I guess he's in the backseat with that boy wasn't you naked and making out all night you know what I think I think you're probably maybe pregnant and I guess you're going to embarrass me and your father and we will have to spring you and your kids along all through your life you know what that boy gets you pregnant he's gonna run off and leave you and nobody will have you and me and your dad's gonna have to raise you in the youngins - we're gonna be so embarrassed see what you're releasing your home let me show you a difference come here son put your arm around him son I know you having a struggle right now you know your mom and me loves you so much baby I remember when we took you to that man of God brother Wetzel and he dedicated you to Jesus I'll never forget that little outfit that you had on your mama made it with her own bare hands while she was pregnant couldn't wait til you got here son I remember those little booty things you had on while the preacher was praying over you I saw your little legs just a waving I was so proud of you and I still am so proud of you son I know you're having a devilish time but I want you to know daddy's in your corner fighting for you and I'm praying for you baby and you know what one of these days I know that you gonna make me and your mama so proud God's gonna send the right woman in your life son you won't have to look around I brought me up through the ranks and He blessed me and he keep to care of me and now you know what we dedicated you to God and God's gonna take care of you too son don't be too concerned don't get all uptight and anxious God's gonna bless you and take care of it you see the difference it's no wonder many times when you leave the church and God poured out his spirit there in you head home it's no wonder with all that mess being in your house when you get home that same spirit of sterility grabs hold of you and you start fighting again I think you get the picture don't you there's six other areas that I need to cover but I've gone too long let me just give them to you real quick I'll give them to you real quick is there lying in your house dishonesty and deception in your house second thing is there's a lying dishonesty and deception in your house if there is and you're not truthful and open and you're lying and you're deceiving your house is sterile and it will be sterile until you come clean thirdly is there any kind of a cultish witchcraft practices in your house are items paraphernalia symbols or emblems in your house I've never been so shocked in all my life as I was one day pastoring a Pentecostal church and a woman had been in my church for years and I thought was on fire for God and she came up to me one day after I got through preaching and she said she just really tickled me preacher I said what do you mean she said oh you just the cancer I said what do you mean she said just born in July what and you was born on the sign of cancer I said what she said yeah she sent your wife as a Sagittarius she'd born in September whatever it was says she's aside to terracing and y'all just fit the bill to the tee don't you just don't know how you said wait a minute we're in a Pentecostal Church with the so-called gifts and fruits of the power of the Holy Ghost moving washed in the blood and you're talking witchcraft in the I love my church friend people read those books when they go home put it down and we'll pick up the Bible something's wrong something's wrong come on let's say it like it is something's wrong let's say it like it is let me tell you something I don't know about other parts of the world but the South knows the truths the South the southern churches knows the truth you may act like you don't know the truth you may pretend like you don't know the truth but you know the truth and we fear from God and it's no wonder we don't have a move of the Holy Ghost in our churches we back swift next I will close with this I don't have time to go any further I feel the convicting power of the holy spirit here so strong meaning if you were sitting out there right now and in your mind you see green streaks and red streaks up the wall your house you feel the cold icy environment right now while I'm preaching in your house and many of you is almost cringing thinking about going home tonight because you know your house is sterile and I'm gonna tell you why your house is sterile there's sin there let me give you something else friend listen to this you say oh he's one of them old holiness preachers you got it right I sure AM you know why you know why because the Bible says without holiness no man will see the Lord I'm not talking about the lengthy address friend that's your business I'm not talking about all these other things that's your business that's between you and God but I'm going to preach holiness because you know the Bible says without holiness no man will see God I want you to see God and I tell you God is a holy God and God knows what's in your house and you may say but I all brother Kilpatrick he doesn't see that he overlooks that buzzie how come it is whenever we mighty on fire for God you having a great service at church by the time you get home hell's broke out again something's wrong in that house it's down your house is sterile I won't just take one thing here and I want to talk about it real quick and I want you to just think on something you remember the days before television in the days before radio America was a different place wasn't it I remember the first time I ever heard the word down in a song a secular song over the air I remember the first time I ever heard it and I thought my god what's America coming to who knew what America was coming to and who knows where America is going yet that's when the Bible says darkness is covering the earth and gross darkness to people friend we better have revival do you hear me I said we'd better have revival if we don't help revival there's an abbess there is a black hole out there it's going to suck you in and your house but God says I will my glory to rise upon you and I want you to be different I want you to be a holy people I'll peculiar people without spot or wrinkle and I want to tell you something else if you want the power of God in your life you're going to have to live a different life from the world you're going to have to quit blowing a horn after the world and less than after the world trying to be like the world act like the world taught like the world and look like the world we're going to have to be the people of God come on hallelujah I would not have HBO in my house even football game I would not I would not rent it just for an hour to watch your Tyson fight I wouldn't do it let me tell you why you remember back in the days of lot you remember it was so wicked in the days of lot that the Bible says whenever the angels came in to warn lot to leave that the men of Sodom call those angels going Lots house and they gathered around his house that evening and said lot lot came out toward the porch toward the door and we walked out there the men of the city of those homosexuals said we saw those strangers that already had everything else so wicked and so perverse that already tested and tried everything else we saw it strangers a strange flesh come to your house today they said hem them out that we may know them let me tell you how backs leads you can get friend let me tell you how lost you can get even in a Pentecostal church lot walked out and you know what he said he said now brethren now brethren he should have said you bunch of perverts amen now brethren America is so back slid we can't call back black and white white anymore there is no middle ground friend it's either of Godric's of the devil and today it just makes me so sick I want to throw up when I read in the paper that this denomination and that denomination is ordaining same sex marriages and they got a man behind the pulpit that's a pervert and a homosexual and they voted to let him be the pastor because they said it's alright God never said it's alright the paper called me the other day from Pensacola they said we wanted to get your comment about homosexuality they said brother so-and-so across town said it was alright there wasn't anything in the Bible against it in the New Testament I say well maybe you ought to call that brother and tell him that God either died or God's asleep and he snuck that by God because it is in the Old Testament God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and it is in the book of Romans chapter one read it in Romans chapter one laughs the natural affections of the body I'm the natural use of the money and men burned from in and women burned for women read it she said what do you think about it I said I think about what God thinks about it they're going bust hell wide open and I said I'll tell you something else so is the adulterers that don't repent and so is the fornicators that don't repent and so is the new ages ago repent and so is the good man that doesn't send what people call him but he doesn't live for God he's gonna bust hell wide open to the issue is not what you're doing because not ways what you're not doing you're not accepting the free gift of the blood of the Son of God that's why your savior for your sin that's the issue so it's not just a homosexual issue lot said brother now brethren you know what he said I got two little gran boys friends I love them boys my least little grand boys got a big head like I got my wife said you got the biggest head when I get to heaven I want to see your brains motto grandson when the doctor delivered both my grandsons he said my god carrying them boys got the biggest hands got a big old head said they've a little squirt load with little shoulders you know we go ahead and uh I love my little grandsons they take that little plastic bat and hit that ball they love a poppy to see them play ball Lotte stood out on that porch and he said now brethren he said I don't act like this he said I've got some daughters here in the house let me offer you one of my daughters [Music] I don't know about you but I want to punch lot out whenever I hear him say that offer you one of my daughters you know what I believe we have said unless we'd have been duped like he was I want to tell you perverts one thing used up another foot near this house and I will take a fence post or a bat or whatever I got and I will beat your brains out if you try to touch one of my daughters amen amen but I want to tell you you can get snow back slidden so cold and think you're all right that you feel like you're even ready to go out and make a deal for God you know what the Angels did they reached out from behind the door laid hold on lot snatched him back in the house and the angel walked out on the porch and said and bind it all of them and the perverts went home like this at night they were blinded the Angels blinded them Lots effect run off from his daughters but the angel said man in the house we're just as bad today in the United States friend we subscribe to HBO we subscribe to Showtime - Cinemax and we sit there and watch that garbage and we laugh and we think it's all right God said there's leprosy in your house [Applause] I said God said there's leprosy in your house friend on CBS we watch the sitcoms on NBC on CD and whatever we watch the sitcoms where the homosexual split around the homosexuals never got in large house the angel stopped it but there in the American Pentecostal and Christians houses all over the world how through cable and through antennas on top of our house through that damnable television set somebody says pastor you advocating getting rid of the television no because there's things that I believe you can watch on that that's good for you there's some things that you can watch on there that's all right you've got to have the discipline let me show you what happens with radio waves and and and television waves they're beamed out from a tower they're beamed out and they beamed out I just go out like a vibration right now in this room there's color TV pictures in this room right now if I had an apparatus up here I'll consider right here and I could tune in either Paul and Jan kraut to Christian television program hakka tune in the Playboy channel right now either one those beams are in the air but you know what when America begins sending out that field over the radio waves they begin sending out that field of vulgarity and pornography you know what it's like it's like Damon saw that going out and they jump up and they saddle those TV waves and they ride them right into your house they saddle them they jump right off on those TV waves just like that and they saddle them and they say how old silver and a ride right in your house and then you say I got my child only what's wrong with my child I watch all my husband order carts the more I don't know I don't know I don't know what you got on your television what's he setting up watching at night when he's not in the bed with you what's your kids watching it 3 o'clock in the morning whenever you see the lights on under the door in their bedroom that you never get up out of your lazy bed to go check and see what they're watching you know what's been released in your house what about the rock and roll music that comes in with all those damnable satanic lyrics and seductive fleshly lyrics coming into your kids but you don't go in there and tell them you shut it off because you're more afraid of your kids than anybody you don't want to film them you want to be your kids best friend God never called you to be your towels best friend God told you to be their parent and their guardian somebody shout amen you know what every time I preach this message it gets quiet you know why it gets quiet there's 10 in the church friend there's sin in your house and there's demons riding those things right into the TV set through the cable and it's going right in the walls of your house you screw that thing in that cable in your wall that's where the demon power is coming that's where your red streaks and green streaks are so many times [Music] you know what America and I believe brother John lopers a bandit preaches the word I know enough about him but America hadn't heard this kind of preaching America's ready to hear this kind of preaching because to see America's tried on that hill and it's left them empty and it's left them sterile and they're looking around disorienting they're saying there's got to be more free let me take Church isn't beautiful lights and a beautiful edifice and stained glass and a big budget and a big staff and a handsome preacher there's got great oratorical abilities that's not Church Church is when we come together in the name of the Lord and God by his Spirit comes down and meets with us hallelujah and America is sick of it they are sick sick sick of dead try religion pablum that never confronts people about sin in their life they're sick of it our girls today anorexic bulimic because they've looked in so many magazines Self magazine Seventeen magazine vogue and they've seen such an image until they feel like they've got to look like that to be accepted by the world would to God that get a Bible in their hand and read about the virtuous woman read go to God to get a hold of a word of God and begin to read about different ones in the scripture and getting that mess off their minds well I don't made you mad now you don't got quiet on me I'm through I'm through there's a couple more things that I could cover but I don't have time my time is gone it's time to pray but I wants to tell you something let me let me let me talk about one more real quick I can't pass this one up pornography [Music] how many men have I had say to me as their pastor including some other preachers have said this to me brother Kilpatrick I can't get stimulated anymore on my wife unless we watch an x-rated movie that's the only way I can perform so we rent videos from the video stores and when we watch those skin flicks that gets me excited and I could perform sexually but otherwise I can anymore it doesn't mean anything to me how many men have said that to me thousands preachers have said that to me if they're in that damnable shape what kind of shape is the Church in let me tell you something when a man of God is behind the pulpit and he's in adultery he releases that spirit of adultery all over the whole church when he's behind that pulpit and he's a homosexual he releases that spirit of homosexuality over the church and if you come in that church and bring your kids and set them in that pew you as a federal headship of your house have subjected your kids to a perverted spirit it's time somebody told you that it's time somebody gets up behind a pulpit in America on nationwide television and tells America that even if they cut your head off or shoot you in the heart let them know we're at a damnable shape let me tell you one more thing here's what Holy Spirit told me to tell churches everywhere I go he said I have sent my glory to the church and he said yes my people got together and they prayed and in the house of God they became holy and repentant and I've sent my glory and I've sent my power of revival to the church but if they don't clean their houses up the Spirit of my glory will not last long in the church I will withdraw it and I will send judgment that's what the Holy Spirit told me to tell you I'll say it again the Lord said yes I have sent revival to the church and yes my people are being revived but if they don't go home and clean their houses out and deal with sin in the house and get their houses in order my glory will not rest in their homes and if they won't let my glory come home with them I will not continue to meet with them in my house at church so here's the way it works you light your fire church and God touches you and revives you you take that fire home and you drive the devil out of your house you get rid of sin you get rid of sin if you're not willing to do it you can forget revival and if you can forget revival gross darkness is going to come upon you friend and swallow you up like a black hole am I trying to scare you I'm trying to tell you the truth you see before God sent revival America was perilously close to judgment right then but I believe God put the brakes on everything and but he's heard some prayers and he's began to send his spirit now but if people come in here and set piously on the people who want to shake and fall on the floor and say whoa didn't the Lord touch me and then go home and still live like a tyrant at home still be abusive to your wife and kids still be disrespectful to your husband still allow that he'll come through the cable of your house still allow all those emblems to remain in your house still allow all those VCRs and those those x-rated and vulgarity and pornography in your house if you allow that and don't deal with it God's going withdraw a spirit and judgments going to come friend it's no wonder to me that divorce is rampant in America because in our homes there's green streaks and red streaks on the wall you can't see them but they're there you know they're there let me close with this and we want to ask you one question you don't have to think about it just a snap answer will do is your house fertile where people want to be there where there's communion between the husband and wife of the marriage bed or have you lost that is their fertility in your kitchen where a warm meal is put on the table and everybody sits around they're pleasant and they're loving or can you barely stand and sit at the table for 15 minutes and gulp down food you can get away from one another how's your church you come in and you suffer you complain about having to stand 30 minutes for worship and the worship leader is doing his dead-level best to get something going and you're standing there one leg and the other legs in I kind of wish I could sit down pastor always gets these guys that leaves these long worship services you know what that is that's a symptom that there's green streaks and red streaks in your church if it was fertile you couldn't stand there long enough to love on the Lord you couldn't stand there long enough and love on the Lord I want to ask you a question not close with this house your home house your home only you can answer that friend for revival hit I got to where I was going through my house having communion in my house I wasn't on the doorpost I was not my bedpost where we slept with the Jews I had clear grape juice I know the lentil and I know on the doorpost and I going to speak a blessing over my bedroom over the bedroom in my wife sleeps and have communion together I speak it over the den I speak it over the bathroom speak it over the kitchen there's blessings that you can speak in their houses in Scripture he speak blessings of health you can speak blessings of fellowship and joy companionship there's all kind of blessings you can speak and I began to speak blessings and we begin to have communion and the glory of the Lord moved in our house it was unbelievable unbelievable let me tell you this real quick and I promise y'all close before revival broke out we'll right after a revival broke out we lost our privacy so many people coming in from all over the world I go out and early the morning get my paper to be people sitting outside on the street blowing their horn at me when I go out to get the paper early in the morning we lost our privacy you know people didn't have nothing to do all day they hear from all over the world we'll see what the preacher lives so uh we sold our house after living there for 14 years we sold our home and we moved out in the country we live right by the airport we used to and we traded the noise of the airplanes for crickets we moved in the country now and God blessed us with a home out in the country it's so peaceful but we went to sell our home there's letting our churches a real estate agent she listed our house for us we put on the market and so she works for one of the biggest real estate companies in Pensacola and whenever they go out to look at a house she didn't tell him whose house it was in our house just a normal house it was only like 2,000 square feet 8 foot ceilings just directly small din 3 bedrooms a small office had their in the house it wasn't anything fancy at all if you saw it you'd be surprised and so the real estate agent said that whenever they go out to see a house they all load up on a van and they pull up in front of the house they'll unlock the door and they'll go through just walk through you know they walk out the back door they just make a walk through they're gone she said pastor when we came to this house she said it and tell me whose house it was she sat down locked the door and we walked in and she said everybody stopped and she said I saw men that had never spoken to other men in the office leaned up on the mantel on your fireplace and stand there and talk for 15 minutes she said then I saw different women begin to move through the house and some of them got in the bathroom in your bathroom in the bedroom bathroom master bedroom bathroom and they stayed in there 15 minutes just talking had their arm around one another and everything in your bathroom just talking she said they stay at your house over 30 minutes you know what happened that woman that real estate woman bought our house she bought our house she bought it but see the glory had moved in our home see there was a day in America when the glory of God when I when America served God that the glory of God was in our home one of people liked to watch The Waltons because it reminds them of the glory that used to be in American homes the porches the swings the fellowship and the watching the kids grow up marking the doors how they were growing you know daddy outworking mom and they're taking care of the family it was a it was a symbol of the glory of the Lord they'd read their Bible you know grandpa they talked about the things of the Lord sometime but in America today the glory is not in our home there's hell in our home I'm going to ask you as the musicians come back nobody bow your head nobody keep your eyes wide open we don't do this hiding and do this on the sly what we're going to do right now we're going to do before God the Holy Ghost is talking to you ladies and gentlemen he's trying to get a hold of you he's trying to get a hold of you about your church he's trying to get a hold you about your house your home there's some men in this place you've talked to your boys just like I talked while ago you talked to your daughter's some of you ladies just like I talked to a while ago some of your ladies when I was doing that you dropped your head because you've heard your husband talk to your son or your daughter like that I saw some of you men drop your heads when I talked about pornography and when I talked about different things that I talked about I saw heads drop all over this whole Church you know who we are you know who we are my god friend do you know who we are we've come here tonight because we want the Lord but I just brought up a few simple things and I saw his drop if this isn't us what is it out there in the world what is it out there in the world it's no wonder the church hadn't had revival my god we've been back slidden didn't even know it it comes in so slow how many homes are busted up and a man's already wound up with some of the woman a woman's already wound up with some of the man their life is messed up how many homes have busted up because their houses went sterile you see God's got life fixed that it won't work without the word God's got life fixed but it won't work without Jesus it won't work you may try it you may fool with it and tamper with it but it won't work without Jesus and the word it won't I'm not saying you got to become a religious fanatic and a religious nut I don't like religious fanaticism and I don't like religious nuts I don't I just love the Lord I've seen so many religious people has turned me off for I'm gonna be honest with you I might tell my religious folks I might talk about getting real religious I'm talking about just falling in love with Jesus serving Jesus God sending his spirit right now over America one last time and I've been sent here by the Lord to tell you he's come one last time and he's saying I'm pouring out my glory in the church if the church will humble themselves and pray I'll pull out my glory in any Church if the pastor and the people will let me I'll come but when I come you better take it home and clean your house out I want everybody in this place everybody I'm not going Terry and I'm not gonna waste no time if you're serious with God he'll get serious with you but if you're not serious I ain't got time to fool with you friend I'm tired today is our 319 service of revival at Brownsville 319 church services I'm tired in my body to be here with you as a miracle I haven't got time just for another church service but God has sent me here to say to you your house is sterile and God wants to send his glory to your house and if you let him he'll do it but right now is a time of a reckoning right now's the time of decision you got to make a decision I want every person in this place maybe you've never known God or maybe your back slid or maybe you didn't even know yous back slid or maybe you've grown cold and indifferent but I want every person in this church in just a moment whenever I give the opportunity I'm going to open up these altars I'm not going to beg you I'm not going to plead with you and I'm not going to come back there and talk to you I'm just gonna walk back up on the platform and you do what you have to do I've done what I had to do now you do what you have to do but if you feel like your home is sterile or you thought there's sin in your life and you feel like you need forgiveness you feel like there's some things you need to get under the blood you need to go home and take control of I'm about to walk up on this platform and I want you to get up out of your seat and I believe there's hundreds I'll be here tonight I want you to get up out of your seat now I want you to stand up and walk down this aisle and we'll go and pray together in just a moment come on [Music]
