we are now in the greeting zone right now and hopefully it won't be too long now before we can get back on site to assemble together again today I believe God wants to speak to us prophetically and I start with the words of Charles Dickens who Dickens who in his book A Tale of Two Cities set against the two monsters and bloody uprising of the French Revolution began chapter 1 with these famous opening lines he wrote it was the best of times it was the worst of times it was an age of wisdom it was the age of foolishness it was an epoch of belief it was an epoch of incredulity it was a season of light it was a season of darkness it was a spring of hope it was the winter of despair we had everything before us we had nothing before us we were all going direct to heaven and we were all going direct the other way in short that period so far compared to the present was in every case for good or for evil in his own comparisons of degree of superlatives only those words spoken by Charles Dickens describe a plea the situation of the pandemic today you see there are many things about a pandemic we know we know everything about kovat but somehow we know nothing about it we know its present impact but we don't know what it will do in the future see but we do know right now that some things will change forever just like the French Revolution it changed France forever it is the reason why today France has no king but England has got a queen sitting on the throne you see if I will bring you back to to mount those times when World War two times and things change you and I often would probably for example if I brought you back to the beginning of the last century when the motorcar the automobile gradually replaced the horse-drawn carriages you will be walking on the streets and seeing the occasional car appear and thinking this is just a rich man's pet hoppy a pet acquisition now you cannot see the day when cars will fill the streets because cars was so expensive and every day gradually more and more cars will fill the streets by the horse carriages and the horses will still be around you will still see the workers at the end of the day just scooping up the horse poop and cleaning the streets and it will go on for months perhaps a couple of years or two or three and then one day you'll be walking down the streets and then you're suddenly to think to yourself I've not seen a horse carriage or a horse for a few weeks now and then you realize oh my goodness I should have not seen one for quite a while and you would realize you're suddenly that the horse carriage and horses were not just gone for that week or that fortnight it would be gone forever and will be in the midst of something challenging like a pandemic it is a threshold event that's what I wrote in my book slingshots two years ago I predicted there would be a global pandemic and there would be a more violent mutation of virus for the rice quite different from the viruses we have known before like AIDS or SARS of zika or ebola avian flu or MERS or whatever there would be much much more dynamic in their mutations and they would be much more virulence in the spread and it would endanger and shut down nations and economies and no one not even a whi said or any president of the strongest country in the world could stop it and yet at the same time I said rhythms when something like that happens God is on to something big God wants to do something that you cannot imagine something that's just outstanding something that's wonderful if only we will have eyes and ears to be open to see and to hear what he's doing today now I want to bring you back to an instance in second Kings chapter 6 when Elijah and his server were trapped in the city of Dothan and when they woke up the next morning Elijah's servant saw that the whole city had been surrounded by the Syrian army you see the king of Assyria had sent the Syrian army to destroy Elijah why simply because Elijah had been warning the king of Israel as a result of Revelations and prophetic word received from God warning the king of Israel about where the king of Syria was going to be with his army and so enabled the king of Israel to outmaneuver and outsmart the enemy and that's why the Syrian army had come both capture and to kill Elijah I want to say this words to you today that today in the midst of this pandemic that we're going to right now God wants us to open our eyes spiritually and now is otherwise the devil were kind to cut off God's prophetic vision God's revelation for you God's hope for you that will give you a breakthrough and prosper you and bless you during the season and I want to pray for you the same prayer that Elijah prayed for his servant he said to the servant do not fear turn to your neighbor say to them do not fear that's great do not fear those who are with us are more than those who are with them and then Elisha prayed these words he said lord I pray open his eyes that he may see 2nd Kings chapter 6 verse 16 to 17 and the eyes of the servant is opened and he saw the mighty chariots and the armies of God surrounding the Syrian army and that is the topic of what I want to share this morning Lord open our eyes it is a prophetic word and a prophetic message from God for us this morning I believe that we are on the threshold or something great and when this pandemic is over three things will change the first is that the world order will change in what way will the will order change well it will change simply because God is have one or two just times and seasons it says in Daniel chapter 2 verse 21 God changes times and seasons he removes and sets up kings he's the one who does that these words were used by Daniel before king Nebuchadnezzar you know Nebuchadnezzar hadn't dreamed and none of the astrologers or the magicians in the land could interpret the dream simply because Nebuchadnezzar refused to tell them the dream and he said that I only believe if you can interpret the dream only you tell me what the dream was and nobody could do that until Daniel came before Nebuchadnezzar with a revelation from God and he said to never can answer God changes times and seasons he removes kings and he sets up kings and he said to King Nebuchadnezzar you had a dream of a great statue of a man and the head was made of gold the chest and the body was made of silver and then the belly and the thighs were made of bronze and legs were made of iron and then the feet were made of iron and clay and you know King Nebuchadnezzar is that head of gold and he said to King Nebuchadnezzar hear o king are a king of kings God of heaven has given you a kingdom power strength and glory he said that and Nebuchadnezzar it was so excited when he heard Daniels say these words because you know he'd been pronounced by Daniel he was a king of kings he didn't realize the implication of this interpretation which was that his kingdom would soon be replaced by a kingdom which is inferior to his but stronger than his a kingdom ion and 12 years after Nebuchadnezzar died in a short space of time the medo-persian Empire swept in the kingdom of iron and reduced his kingdom to rubble and of course after that came other kingdoms the bronze kingdom of Alexander the Great the iron Kingdom the Roman Empire and then followed by the feet of clay of iron and clay which is still the divided Kingdom the Roman Empire the Eastern and a Western Roman Empire the Byzantine Empire and Western Roman Empire but the point I'm trying to make is it is God who sets up kingdoms and pull down kingdoms and in a short space of time Nebuchadnezzar lost his kingdom you see God changes at times and season what is great what is incredible what is glow and and majestic is reduced in the sense of time to nothing and this was brought forth in a poem written by Percy Bysshe Shelley called Ozymandias and I quote it for you so you get a feel that I have a great person Heiberg wonderful a majestic splendor one day it will crumble to dust and be reduced to hubris and rubble and ruins and nothing I could assume and yes I met a traveller from an ancient land who said two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert and near them on the sand half sunk a shattered visage lies whose frown and wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command tell that it's sculptor well those passions read which yet survive stamped on these lifeless things and on the pedestal these words appear my name is Ozymandias king of kings look upon my works ye mighty and despair nothing beside remains and round the decay of that colossal wreck boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away that's what all kingdoms will come to one day before God because he raised his kingdoms and he changes kingdoms what does this mean for us today the world order will change post pandemic job 12 verse 23 to 24 God makes nations great and he destroys them he enlarges nations and leads them away he takes understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth and makes them wonder in the trackless wastes he is the one who makes nations great and destroys them he's the one who had largest nations or leads them away into nothing what does it mean for us today why I sensed my spirit and I would say it now that this pandemic will weaken the United States why because it will be burdened with a huge huge amount of debts it already is unburdened with huge amounts of debt and now ever been burdened were trillion small well in the past the US could actually buy its way out of debts why because it would borrow in US dollars and it will print more money and pay back in u.s. dollars it's the only country in the world that can do this and therefore it can take on any amount of debt but some world order is going to change in the coming days the US currency will no longer be the only defective global currency there will be other currencies competing with it to become at least in part a global currency you have to rise a crypto currency you have the Chinese digital currency you have the Euro coming up and all of them have their adherents and followers which basically means that the value of the US dollar will begin to drop never weaken the US economy and at the same time as it does so people have doubts whether now that is no longer the sole global currency it can pay back or its trillions of dollars in debt and that weakening of the US economy will mean this it can no longer be the sole global policeman of the world other nations will arise to take its place not to replace it but to compete with it so you have nations in Africa and Asia paying back the debts for example of China not in US dollars but possibly in other forms of currency maybe in digital currency or Chinese digital currency and at the same time while the economy of the world is globalized nations will be aligned regionally and this will be true for Asia and other economies will rise not just Europe not just China perhaps in the next 20 years or so like a big economies like Russia Russia or India may arise the point I'm trying to make really is this that the countries will be in an economic and to some extent military stalemate not one being you know supremely above the other but they were locked in a kind of a stalemate situation is that a good thing or is there a bad well it depends it can lead to unprecedented cooperation and global prosperity or it can lead to pathological insecurity and dread of a global Holocaust and death which will it be those who hear God and those who know God well know or whatever it is the world order will begin to change after this pandemic is over it may not change immediately but it will begin to shift Isaiah chapter 66 verse 8 tells us shall the earth be made to give birth in one day or shall a nation be born at once impossible right but God can do it in one day it just one short season the world order can change here's the second thing that will happen after the pandemic the kingdom of God will advance I see the words of Habakkuk Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 14 have a control these words he said for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea what Habakkuk wrote these words it was the worst time in the history of Israel the Babylonians were about to invade Israel and wipe out the people of Israel the God hating Yahweh hating idol worship and worshipping violent pagans the Babylonians were coming in and and I think Habakkuk was asking why God why are you allowing this and God says see the vision write it down and he wrote these words for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea how much waters is there on planet earth 71% of the earth is made out of oceans and seas in other words if the glory of the Lord's to cover the earth like the waters cover the sea it would be super saturating the nation's his glory was supersaturated nations and there is going to be a shift in the coming days my friends you see there will be a shift of the epicenter or where what God's work is going where God's work is going to be as it covers the earth there we were shifted the church in the West has blessed the nations of is so much for hundreds of years but now it is on its back foot there's so many issues that's plaguing it whether it's affluence and materialism or you know gender issues or whether atheism or all kinds of things are plaguing it and we must continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in the West because they've given so much missions came from them but here's the point the global epicenter of the work of optic off of the kingdom of God and and what God's going to do is going to ship into the global South Latin America Africa and you know the southern parts of Asia the continuation this is what's going to happen it will explode in the South you see the world population is growing by 1.2 percent per year Christianity is exploding in Asia at one point eight nine percent and in Africa by two point eight nine percent and it will hastened post pandemic the global South will become a place where the kingdom of God will advance very rapidly see up to now a lot of what we see if how we do Church the songs were saying I mean of the ways in which we will continue to move forward in terms of or bringing God's kingdom we have learned from the West and we thank God for our brothers in the West and the moment it comes to the United States and other places but there's going to be a shift that the Church of the global South will begin to find a fresh identity a fresh move of God a fresh way to sing worship do church there will be a move of the epicenter we my friends are on the threshold of revival we may not notice because all round us seems to be bleak but we are on the threshold of revival I dissent so much in my spirit be an exciting time the exciting time to be alive in Asia today it's exciting time you're alive in a global South today we are in the threshold revival and that revival won't be like the revivals of the past the revivals of the past at massive crowds and stadiums in the fields like the Westland revival or in the cities like the zoo so Street revival or the Welsh revival out there you know masses of people gathering this revival will be different it is a new wineskin it is an online wineskin this revival will largely be silent and they will be Catholic steam in the living rooms and the rooms of people and families and individuals they will go online and hear the voice of God adhered what word of God they were go online into into church services and meetings into revival meetings at the healing meetings into a spiritual conferences or whatever into preaching of the gospel and they will become under conviction of sin their fall under the power of God healing would take place miracles would take place they were seeing visions of God they don't have a real life and counter of God and it would be an amazing transformation in life guess what they be silent I'd be having right across the world and it would be very different from the revivals we have known before friends God is doing a new thing it is outstanding it is incredible it is a new wineskin are you ready for this and because of this way the Reviva is going to go they were going to Nations then let's close that store to the gospel before nations in the Middle East in communist China North Korea all these other places across closed the doors to the gospel before the gospel will come to these people in their own languages worship were coming to this book they encountered Jesus he isa al maseeh yes you are speaking to them in their own language and while they may be forced by externalist to actually worship in a certain religious houses just for external form deep down your hearts millions would have given their heart to Jesus and would have known him spiritually and known the gospel and have received him in the heart as God and Lord and Savior they would go into the closed countries and this is what will happen you see Christianity is growing right now in the world overall Christianity is growing at one point to 7% globally right now see the world's population is 1.2 percent growth so we are just ahead of the curve but other religions are growing at even more incredible rate is lamas growing 1.9 5% Hinduism 1.3 percent and so buddy year 2050 there's a reality that others may would take in terms of numbers the kingdom of God the the number of Christians but they have not encountered but something God is going to do yet in this next 20 30 years God's going to do something outstanding marvelous something unimaginable just like it did it is just a street at the beginning of the last century because he knew this year this this last century that the church the the kind of the formal church we're on decline and it caused a Pentecostal revival to come and it judge grew in the last century because of this is just a street revival God can do something similar again today can somebody say they went to that and this is the new wineskin and when this happens the majority of the people who come to know the Lord will be outside the church buildings there won't be any church buildings and that would be completely different if we define the space outside the church buildings as the workplace because that's how we define a workplace anything outside the religious confines on a Sunday or religious meeting is actually the workplace then the largest revival in the world that would come upon us in the coming days will be in the workplace and that's what Billy Graham said 20 years ago he said I believe one of the next great moves of God is going to be through believers in the workplace friends I will tell you this exciting days what God's going to do to you and true you and to the people around you and to your families is going to do often outside the sunday church and as a final thing that were changed the church will arise for the eyes of the Lord run to and fro all over the earth to show himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal see now there's a new move of God he will go all over the earth and he's looking for the people in this church whose hearts are loyal he will show himself strong to those whose hearts a lawyer it's your heart loyal to God today see royalty the dictionary definition of loyalty is this it's giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person in other words where the chips are down when times are hard when you know things are against you that enemies is just moving in and surrounding you you refuse to give up you still hold on to God's promises you still hold on by faith to what he has said you were still supplicate for grace and strength from him in other words the mark of people who are loyal to God is this they are tenacious in faith and they are persevering in prayer see that's why today don't wants to raise a generations like you and me to be tenacious in our faith bull dogged we never give up we hold on and grip on to the enemy and don't give up we are persevering in prayer we never give up in our prayer these are the marks of loyalty and the world God says this when we are loyal to him like that he will show himself strong what does it mean he will show himself in he would demonstrate his power in miracles and signs and wonders and breakthrough in our lives and to our lives and the second thing it means is that he was strengthen us to resist the enemy and that is what precisely Daniel chapter 11 verse 32 says the people who know their God will be strong and carry out great exploits you see when we are strong and God gives us the strength because we are loyal we will carry out great exploits and what does exploits mean it means we exploit the enemy we didn't need the enemy we disarmed him we dispossessed him we take back what he has stolen because he's come to steal kill and destroy we take it back we'll recover all just like I've said two weeks ago we pursue overtake and recover all we voted great exploits and God wants to empower the church to arise in this time he's calling you he's calling me to arise and what is the mark that we will arise while Isaiah chapter 61 as I close verses 1 & 2 the verse that Jesus assumed for himself in Luke chapter 4 his Messiah hood the Spirit of the Lord is upon me Jesus said but I believe that those words applied to us today why because the book of Hebrews said as he is in the world - his in the world today so are we see he has won that for us on the cross that grace so we can assume this masonic and this prophetic promises for us as well so Isaiah chapter 61 verses 1 and 2 how do we exploit the enemy the Spirit of the Lord is upon us because the Lord has anointed us to bring good news to the poor he has sent us to bind up the brokenhearted to proclaim Liberty to the captives the opening of the prison to those who are bound to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor see the Spirit of the Lord made upon us means that we will experience the power of God or the Holy Spirit upon us the Holy Spirit of following us in the coming days in a way that they have not experienced before and he will anoint us so that we have the boldness to bring the good news to the poor to bind up the brokenhearted the those who feel hopeless are in our despair and the Spirit of the Lord will be upon us to proclaim Liberty to the captives to set those who and oppression oppression free the opening of prison doors for those who are demonized to bring healing to the sick and to proclaim the year of God's favor God's grace has come upon them and God wants to use you for that that's why if today as I close if that's you today I want you to understand that as the church arise God's calling you to arise to be bold to preach the gospel to brint healings and signs and wonders so that you can set the captives free from demonic oppression and I want you to confess these words with me as I close today because God is causing his church to arise and you and I were part of this church so that his kingdom is that can advance because it's a new order they were coming after the pandemic Isaiah chapter 61 verses 1 to 2 if you are with me to confess I want to lead you in this prayer of confession of the word of God I invite you to stand up on your feet like to stretch out your hand and receive from the Lord and let's read the Word of God Isaiah chapter 61 verses 1 to 2 together and let's confess it allow right now are you ready let's go the Spirit of the Lord God is upon us because the Lord has anointed us to bring good news to the poor he has sent us to bind up the brokenhearted to proclaim Liberty to the captives and the opening of prison to those who are bound to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor amen amen and amen turn to your neighbor and say to them you are in God's year or favor to say that you are in God's year or favor praise God for that I believe that's God's word for us today because as we understand prophetically it open eyes to what is doing I believe God prepares to possess all that he has promised us to bless us and to give us the promised breakthrough and he will use us mightily as this church arises and his kingdom advances but if you're listening to me today and you may be from another city or even from another country and you've never given your heart to this wonderful Savior Jesus I want to say this 2,000 years ago Jesus died on the cross for your sins in mind he rose again from the dead to conquer death and sin so that he's alive today and he can give you that eternal life and he says to you today I'm knocking at the door of your heart if you open the door of your heart to me I will come in I will fill you with my life and my love I would take away your sins and I will give you eternal life so that you can be with me forever so when you die you have eternal life and eternal life begins today today you've never made a decision can i alert you today don't go away from here but make the decision to open your heart to Jesus if you're ready I would like to lead you in a simple prayer to open your heart to Jesus to invite him into your heart and if you do so everything changes God will be with you you are safe and you will have new life so say pastor Phillip I would like to receive Jesus can I invite you to join me in this prayer and follow me are you ready now say Lord Jesus I thank you for loving me thank you that you died for me and took my sins on the cross I trust in you as my God and Savior today that's great with my mouth I declare you are my lord with my heart I believe you rose from the dead I invite you now into my heart as my Lord and Savior from this day I choose to follow you all the days of my life in your name I pray amen [Music] Wow if you prayed that prayer for the first time Jesus is coming to your heart today he's your Lord just savor your God and your master just take it away your sins he's promised you a new life you may not feel any different right now but believe by faith something has changed because God has put a new order a new life within you and if you did that I'd love to hear from you and the best way you can contact with with me is that at the end of the service today that you can scan the QR code to get into sky hub and from there just give us your your details a brief details about you and we will be in touch with you and if you need somebody to pray with you or talk to you just make that known and we will be in touch with you as well it would be our joy just to to connect with you and we will love to give you something to pray with you and give you something that will help you to grow your life in Christ it's been a wonderful time together and I trust you have been blessed by the Word of God today it is prophetic in every way so that you get a big picture of what God is up to today because he's changing a new order and at the same time he's causing his kingdom to advance and at the same time he's calling you and me to arise him because this will be the threshold of a great revival and the finest hour for the church trust you've been blessed and I trust you have a wonderful Sunday with your family and I look forward to seeing you again in the coming weeks god bless you have a great day in Jesus name bye bye for now
