places all across the city of Atlanta all across this country maybe from places even around the world we just we welcome you to our online gathering and we welcome all of you to the final week or the final message in a series called not easily shaken and [Music] I believe that this was a series that that God gave me for the times that we're living in right now he gave me for the times that we're living in right now and I think about that word those words the the times and I think how right now those two words the times they just have a different meaning to me they have a whole different meaning to a lot of us right now in our country when we think about the times that we're living in right now just this week I sat down on the concrete of the floor and I held a victor in my arms who was just hurting and wounded and just feeling just discouraged by the season that we are in I think about the 6.6 million people who filed for unemployment last week I think about all of the families right now that are struggling to make ends meet think about all the business owners right now in our country who can't keep their doors open they're not able to pay their staff they're not able to continue I think about all the people who have worked so hard to build businesses and things that they did in entrepreneurial ventures and I think about all the people right now who are just going through so much hurt and pain and devastation I saw this week a couple who had spent so many years building a business and they cried on national television as they realized that they was not going to be able to keep that business afloat I thought about coming in to speak this message to you about all of the the families right now that are in trouble I thought about all the people that are losing their homes I thought about all the families right now that are being jostled and it just seems like right now when these times everything can be shaken is being shaken as I'm talking to you right now whole industries are being shaken as I'm talking to you right now man whole businesses are being shaken as I'm talking to you right now the market is being shaken world governments it's being shaken the very nation that we're living in right now is being shaken as I'm talking to right now everything that can be shaken is being shaken as I'm talking to right now someone make eighty percent of the people in the United States of America are under shelter and stay on orders from our national government and from our state and local governments and so so many of us right now are camped out in our houses that we we cannot leave except that we have an emergency to get our house but my brothers and sisters I want you to hear what I'm saying to you right now that not only did we get orders from our government to stay in shelter I believe that the Holy Spirit gave me orders for you right now this morning he gave me orders for you right now this afternoon I believe like the God who sits in heaven the Spirit of the Living God gave me a prophetic word for you my brother a prophetic word for you my sister that God gave me a prophetic word for all of us that not only have we gotten orders from our state and local governments but I have also gotten orders for you from God Almighty and God sends you a word this morning I want you hear what I'm saying to you that this morning I want you to or in this message whether you're watching it in the morning or you're watching it in the afternoon I want you to hear what I'm saying to you I want you to look past the preacher I want you to look past drill up Anthony Mitchell I want you to hear what I'm saying to it this is more than just a sermon that God has given me a prophetic word for you now sometimes when we hear that we don't take that serious we hear all a prophetic word from God and we don't think that is serious to hear prophetic word from God I was thinking about not that long ago about the book of Malachi how God in the book of Malachi he cried out to his people he said if I am a father where is the honor do me and God is crying out for honor he's crying out for honor and know times we take that passage and repeat people over their head to make them tithe and give up their money but there's something deeper happening in that passage not only was he upset that the people wasn't practicing generosity but he said man if I'm a father where is the honor do me God was crying up for honor to his people and when his people refused to honor him do you know what he did he just stopped talking to them in fact history tells us God stopped talking to them for 400 years that for 400 years after the Prophet Malachi God stopped speaking to his people now we flip the page from the Old Testament to the New Testament and don't even realize that flip of a page is 400 years when God got silent because one of the things I learned is the most valuable thing that God can give us listen to me and brother brothers and sisters it's not houses it's not cause one of the most valuable things God can give us is his word his voice and sometimes we live in a society Frank that we don't even appreciate when God is talking to us you know how valuable it is for heavily being to pause in the middle of all that he's doing and communicate a message to people in the earth you know how valuable it is to be in the middle of trouble and to hear a word from God and I'm telling you right now my brothers and sisters in the middle of the times that we are in right now what we need from God more than anything right now in this season is his voice his word we need guidance from on high and what I have right now in my belly is a word that I believe that God gave me for you my brother for you my sister for all of the victory family a prophetic word from God to you that word of God comes to you from the place that I feel like we need to learn to pillow our heads when our heart is in trouble the prophetic word comes to you this morning it comes to you this afternoon it comes to you whatever time of day you're watching this message that prophetic word comes to you from Psalm chapter 91 Psalm 91 I like in my prayer time this week the Spirit of God said to me speak to my people from Psalm 91 and when I'm about to read to from Psalm 91 is not just words on a page it is the prophetic voice of God speaking to us in this time God says to us in Psalm 91 beginning at verse 1 he says he who dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the Almighty now he says he who dwells in the shelter of the most high he will rest in the shadow of the Almighty I want to just draw your attention to the first three words he who dwells he who dwells she who dwells do you know what those three words do they invoke for us watch a decision he who dwells and votes for you and I a decision a decision about where we will dwell and this word dwell is not talking about the physical house that you're in right now or the physical pleasure in right now this word dwells talks about the address of your consciousness that is in this time that our nation is in trouble where will your mind dwell where will your heart dwell where will your spirit dwell you could dwell in fear or you could dwell in faith you could dwell in anxiety or you could dwell in prayer you could dwell in worry or you could dwell in worship and he says he who dwells means we got to make a decision where we dwell and the prophetic word comes to you saying my brother my sister you got to make a decision I got to make a decision where we dwell in this hour where we dwell in this time are we gonna dwell and everything we see going on in the news are we gonna dwell in the Word of God he said he who dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest under the shadow of the Almighty he said we need to dwell in the shell two of the most high so in this season I'm talking to all the Christians all my brothers and sisters that we got a shelter in place in two places we got a shelter in the crib and shelter in Christ in this season we not only sheltering in the house but we're gonna shelter in the house of the God virtually in the season and he says for those of us who choose to shelter inside of God to live inside of God to make the address of our consciousness inside of God he promised us that we will rest in the shadow of the Almighty now this rest is not talking about sleep my brother and sister this rest talks about a reprieve from the worries of your mind this rest talks about a reprieve from all the struggles in our mind the struggles in our heart the worrying about what's gonna happen tomorrow on Monday he said man if you dwell in the shelter of the Most High you will find rest under the shadows of God man when I think about a shadow you know what I think about a shadow I get this image in my mind of lions on the continent of Africa man they shield themselves in the shadow because the temperature in the shadow is just a little bit lower than all the heat that's going on around it and he says man when we toes to dwell in the shadow of the most high man we can run to a place where we find safety from everything else that's happening all around us and so we got to make a decision my brothers and my sisters in this time where we choose to dwell we either gonna dwell and everything we see going on in the world are we gonna dwell right now in the shadow of the Almighty and then in verse 2 the writer of the psalm he says with confidence because of the shadow of the Almighty says I will say of the Lord I love these words he is my refuge and my fortress my god and whom I trust so the writer says God has three things to me he is my refuge this is powerful he is my fortress he is my god he says God has three things to me he is my refuge he is my fortress he is my god what is a refuge a refuge is a place where a person can run for safety like a city of refuge that he said God is a place that I can run to for safety I think about man when I'm in my prayer time when it's just me and God alone I feel safe in his presence I feel comforted in his presence I feel rejuvenated in his presence so he says God is a safe place he's a place that I could run to for safety but then he also says that God is a refuge a safe place and he is a fortress what is a fortress a fortress is a military installation that it keeps things from getting on the inside I said so God is not only a safe place I can run and he'll protect me but God is also a fortress that is he'll protect things from getting on the inside he'll protect fear from getting on the inside he'll protect anxiety from getting on the inside he'll protect worry from getting on the inside the purpose of a fortress is to keep enemies from coming to the inside man fear is an enemy right now anxiety is an enemy right now worry is an enemy right now paranoia is an enemy and God is not only a safe place for you to run my brother and my sister but he's also a fortress for you he is a garrison that will keep these things from coming on the inside but look at what he says in the next verse he says surely I love this part he will save you from the Fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence he says watch the writer says surely God will save you from the Fowler's snare and from the pestilence what is the Fowler's snare it is the evil workings of the adversary even in the earth right now and the writer says that God will save you from the evil that's in the earth right now but I like the first word in the verse he says surely he didn't say maybe he said surely so the writer speaks with confidence that God is able to not only protect us from evil listen to me my brothers and sisters but also keep us from pestilence you know what pestilence is it's like viruses it's like sicknesses it's like disease it's like the plague that's sweeping across our nation right now and the writer says watch surely God can protect you from that now how could the writer speak with such confidence that God came to protect you and I from pestilence he sounds like he's talking from experience how could this writer be talking from experience well who wrote Psalm 91 scholars tell us that Moses wrote Psalm 91 and if Moses is the write of Psalm 91 then he's know something about pestilence because history tells us it was the same Moses that God called to raise up to deliver a nation of people out of Egyptian bondage and what else did Moses see on his way to deliver those people he saw God overthrow the most powerful nation on earth with ten plagues and pestilence and it was during that time in Egyptian history that Moses went to the people of God he said listen all of you people this is so powerful I want y'all to get a pure land I want you cut the blood of that land and put it over your doorpost and when listen when the pestilence of the Spirit passes through the land it's gonna kill all the firstborn of Egypt but as that pestilence passed through as that Death Angel passed through the scripture says when the spirit saw or when God saw the blood on the houses he said wherever there was blood on the house I would pass over that house that blood was a foreshadow of the Lord Jesus Christ and then this would be a good place for us to just pause and give thanks to God for the blood that for all of us who are in the Lord Jesus Christ man we are covered under the blood of Jesus and the writer says with confidence this is what he says he says watch surely watch only God can watch protect us from this pestilence right he can protect us from this pestilence surely the blood of Jesus can protect us from this pestilence the blood of Jesus can protect you from covet 19 the blood of Jesus can heal you from covet 19 and even if I die the blood of Jesus is so strong it'll keep me from the fires of hell did you hear what I just said to you the blood of Jesus I prophesy it's over your home right now the blood of Jesus it's over your family right now man I feel the spirit right now in this room I feel the spirit right now and painting your room i prophesy to somebody man you are covered by the blood your marriage is covered by the blood your home is covered by the blood your business is covered by the blood man the blood can keep you from getting sick from covet 19 the blood can heal you from even stroke in 19 men and even if the believer dies in this hour the blood is strong enough to keep us from the fires of hell so the writer says with confidence surely not maybe surely my brothers and sisters God is able to keep us to save us and to protect us even from the pestilence that is sweeping across this nation and he says in verse 4 he will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge his faithfulness will be your shield and your rampart he said God will cover you with his feathers man when I look at this passage man it gives imagery of a mother hen who by nature knows how to protect her children or her offspring from danger and who by nature washes knows how to call them a little bit closer once you see danger coming he said right now listen to the prophetic word right now God is covering the body of Christ he's covering you my sister he's covering you my brother he's covering all of us who belong to him he's covering us with his feathers right now and I like how he said that we have the shield of faith because sometimes feathers are so soft things could get through the feathers but even if I get through the feathers he says watch this he says watch the faithfulness of God will be our shield and our rampart do you hit a prophetic word coming to you right now this morning that God is a shield of protection for you he will protect you from the spread of pestilence he will keep you he will bring you to himself he will warn you of dangers to come for those of us who are in Christ we don't have anything to worry about for those of you watching me right now who belong to Jesus you don't have anything to worry about this ain't just a sermon this is the prophetic word of the Lord to you and I that you will not live in paranoia you will not live in fear you will not live in anxiety you will not live in worry the Spirit of the Lord says man you need to watch dwell dwell you need to make sure the address of your consciousness is inside God that yes you shelter and stay where you are but we must shelter in the person of Christ right now - and the writer says because of all of that he could says confidently about God and verse 5 you will not fear the terror by night nor the arrow that flies by day nor the pestilence that walks in darkness nor any plague that destroys you at midday watch so you know what he describes right here all different types of trouble why don't you fill in the blank your job your worries about getting sick whatever the case may be he said listen nothing will touch you in the day nothing will touch you in the night nothing's gonna touch you at all so he just lays out all different matter of trouble he said Matt in the middle of all these different types of troubles he says watch you will not fear man I'm talking to somebody right now just look right at me you will not fear do you hear me you will not fear I'm talking to you you will not fear I'm talking to you you will not fear we will not live in fear why because we dwell in the presence we dwell in the shadow we dwell in the promises we dwell in the comfort of the Lord God Almighty look at verse 7 then he says I love this part a thousand may fall at your right side and ten thousand at your right hand but it will not come near you you had that he said a thousand may fall at your right hand ten thousand on the other side but it will not come near you in other words you will see common calamity striking many people but it won't touch your house man somebody watching right now you should just receive that by faith you see common calamity touching all different kinds of people but God says men it will not touch your house man I'm telling you right now if you hear just a sermon right now you're gonna miss out on what God is trying to say God gave me this prophetic word for you are you listening he says men all manner of calamity will come to the left and to the right you will see all over the country but it will not come near your house somebody in the chat right now should just start typing amen and just receive that by faith just say Amen and receive that by faith we will see calamity all around the country we will see calamity all around the world but it will not come near you not brother and my sister listen to me God says if you dwell in me I will keep you safe if you dwell in me I will keep your mind safe if you dwell in me I will keep your heart safe you will not have anything to worry about so long as you make the address of your consciousness in me he who dwells he who dwells he who dwells he who makes a conscious decision in the middle of everything happening right now watch to park your mind in me to park your heart in me to park your spirit in me you need make a conscious decision to watch just park your consciousness in me and if you do that I will keep you I will protect you I will be a safe place I will protect you from evil you won't have to even worry about pestilence I will surely save you from this pestilence or from this disease man I'm not walking out my house in fear I'm not in the studio in fear I'm not going to and fro in fear man I've got peace in my mind I got peace in my heart I got peace in the depths of my soul and my spirit why because I've made a conscious decision to dwell in the person of Jesus I'm not only shelter and stay in my house I'm shelter and stayed inside Christ Jesus and he says in verse eight man if you do that you will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked but if you make the most high your dwelling even the Lord who is my refuge then no harm will be for you and no disaster will come near you do you hear these prophetic words that God is saying to you this is not just a sermon this wasn't even supposed to be in the series this series is supposed to have three weeks God said no you can't close the series down yet I got a word I need to get to my people and for everybody watching this right now you got to hear more than just a sermon you got to hear more than just a preacher preaching to you you got to hear the prophetic voice of the Lord talking to you right now you got to hear the prophetic voice of the Lord talking to you right now trying to tell his people why you are sheltered and stayed in your house you must also shelter and stay in me while you are sheltered and stayed in your house you need to shelter and stay in me man this is not the time for us to throw out everything that we learn this is not the time to throw out our faith throw out prayer throw out worship he said man why you are sheltered right now in your house you need to also shelter in me shelter in the crib shelter and cry the word of the Lord is speaking to you my brother my sister my son my daughter if you dwell in me if you park your mind in me if you park your heart in me you will rest under the shadow of the Almighty no pestilence will come near you no evil will come near you nothing will touch your house nothing will happen to that God does not allow and if you have that confidence of God then why should you worry why should you be afraid why should you not walk with confidence we have wisdom but not fear [Music] we have wisdom but not paranoia we have wisdom but not anxiety we have wisdom but not worried my brother and sister I have no special words for me except what God just gave me to give to you these are his prophetic words to you and I'm right now in this house he who dwells in the shelter of the Most High he will rest in the shadow of the Almighty and God is saying to somebody watching me right now you know what you need right now you need rest I know everything around us that can be shaken is being shaken but what God says to you you need rest I know bank accounts are being shaken I know businesses are being shaken I know jobs are being shaken I know the whole nation is being shaken but what God says there's people right now you need rest so how do I close this message how do I close this series minister to these people Frank you know [Music] the Lord Jesus Christ he preached a lot of truth while he was alive here on earth and in the scriptures we have one full-length recorded sermon from the Lord Jesus Christ one the eyewitnesses who heard that sermon said that Jesus went up on the Mount of Olives he sat down on the hillside and he began to teach his disciples around his disciples was a large crowd and he taught them what we would later call the Sermon on the mountain and for all of three chapters of our Bible he taught them about what real blessings were he taught them about marriage and about relationships and about vows and taught them all these things an entire sermon that we we really got to receive by faith it was also in that sermon he taught us about prayer it was also in that sermon he taught us about worry but do you know I he closed that sermon after he spent all that time talking to his people giving them his word do you know how he closed that sermon he closed that sermon with these words he said therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice he is like a wise man who built his house on the rock the rain came down the streams rose and the winds blew and it beat against that house yet it did not fall because it had its foundation on the rock but everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice he's like a foolish man who built his house on the scent the rain came down the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house and that house came down with a great crash listen to me in these final words of Jesus in the sermon of the mount we see two people juxtaposed each other two builders both of them build a house but they built their house in two different places and if you just see the word house here and you think about the house you're in you'll miss the power in this text this was written in Palestine where houses was built with mud and bricks he said watch two people built two houses and rained on both of them the wind blew against both of them the weather came and beat against both houses he said one house stood because it was built on a rock [Music] but the other house it came down with a crash my brothers and sisters you are right here in this text everyone watching me right now you are a builder and the house represents the life that you are living your mindset your heart your faith your ideologies your belief system and here is my question for you builder are you building on the rock which is Jesus or are you building on the sand of everything else are you building on your bank account are you building on your house are you building on your ingenuity are you building on your stocks because right now we're seeing it everything that can be shaken will be shaken because you and I have no guarantees for Monday morning the only thing we have is grace we don't got no guarantees of health we don't have no guarantees of tomorrow we don't have no guarantees that anything we put our trust in outside of Jesus will keep us safe we don't have any guarantees outside of grace but there was another builder the one that built their house watch on the rock and that rock represented the Lord Jesus Christ his words his wisdom his ways his shadow his shelter watch both houses were shaken but one came crashing down but for those of us who are in Christ you hear my voice in this message though the weather may get rough around us in this time though some of us may be dealing with all manner of troubles and cares and concerns and financial issues losing jobs losing houses losing businesses losing sleep though some of us man may even have loved ones who are sick and some of us may even lose loved ones in this season though our house may be shaking just a little bit as long as it's built on the rock who is Jesus it will not come down in a crash we will not be so easily shaken in this time right now it may pin just a little bit it may rock just a little bit but we will not be easily shaken in this hour if we make our dwelling in God my brothers and my sisters and I'm telling you right now we have no guarantees none outside of Jesus and the grace of Almighty God our only guarantees right now is the grace of Almighty God it's grace that's gonna keep a roof over my head it's grace that's gonna put food on my table we have no guarantees of anything right now except the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and my brother my sister I want to encourage right now with this prophetic message shelter in place but shelter in the most high and make sure that we are not building our house on anything else in this hour I'm not depending on anything else in this hour [Music] above the Lord Jesus Christ [Music] my brother my sister I know that this is rough times I know it's rough for all of us we've been in three different places this whole message series we started out as CSK and and a facility in Atlanta and now we in our office and it's been rough for me has been rough for our teams as we've been trying to lead through these uncertain times we've been I've been working harder in the last couple of weeks and I have in the last couple years it's difficult for a lot of us a lot of people are going through all manner of things right now we're going through - I'm going through - I feel you my brother and sister for those of us who are strong let us bear the infirmities of the weak pray for our brothers and sisters and for those of you watching this message right now [Music] concerned about all the things that's happened in our country met here the prophetic word of the Lord meant he who dwells she who dwells in the shelter of the Most High you will abide and rest in the shadow of the Almighty and he will keep you he will protect you he will be with you and I just prophesied as somebody right now I prophesy to those of you who believe man we're gonna come out of this season even better than it was then we'll be winner like the nation of Israel came out of Egypt with gold man I say to you man come out of this season with gold make the best use of your time by your in your house may God impregnate some of you with new ideas may he impregnate you with a new book may he impregnates you with a new song may he impregnates you with a new ministry will you go closer to your husband and your wife in this time closer to your children in this time when you become a better single person in this time I'm not only sheltered in my house [Music] I'm sheltered in Jesus and so because of that I will not live in fear faith over fear and because I'm sheltered in Jesus I will not live in anxiety prayer over anxiety and because I'm sheltered in Jesus I will not live in worry I will wash up over worry and because I'm sheltered in Jesus man I'm a deal with some trouble but I will not be easily shaken I dwell you dwell we dwell in the shelter of the Most High if you receive that prophetic word why don't you jump in that chat right now and just type Amen and let God see you by faith saying I received that word I just start typing Amen up I received that word by faith I receive I received that word by faith we have this hope the right of Hebrews says as an anchor for the Soul function of an anchor on a ship is not to keep the ship from rocking the function on the anchor for ship is to keep the ship from drifting away and as long as we are anchored in God we will not drift away we have this hope as an anchor for our soul this hope we will not be easily shaken in this hour my brothers and my sisters do you receive that I know you do you receive that prophetic word I know you do and that is my hope and that is my prayer for you in Jesus name
