first began thank you for this exuberance an expectation in our time of worship and praise now seed this word in our spirits that it will produce an uncommon harvest for multiple generations this is my prayer and I pray it in the name of Jesus Christ amen amen and amen can we give the Lord a great praise [Applause] revival is here revival is here you can be seated whoa revival yes [Music] Lord Jesus saved Souls today even those who are watching online save souls today draw them closer to you and every wall that's been lifted tear it down every heart that's been broken mend it up and they rely that's been spoken we cast it down we cast it down we cast it down we cast it down every single thing that the devil ever tried so every single thing that the devil even tried so I said it's over you can stop crying now it's over cancer diagnosis reversed it's over kidney issues over all of the haters whisperers backbiters even Ingo sandy it's over I'm not supposed to be singing I'm supposed to be preaching but I feel like I'm supposed to tell you that your warfare has ended the victory is here [Applause] [Music] [Music] it's time for the church to be a hospital for the broken not a museum for the spiritual elite I need another towel this towel is ruined this is like giving a whale a tic-tac I need a big grown man towel Brandon thank you cuz I'm gonna preach it how he gave it to me can I preach it how I feel it normally I wouldn't take such liberties if I was a traveling evangelist but I'm your pastor now and I need to speak some life into this place because the enemy's been trying to cause some stuff in the transition he always like to start stuff in the middle cuz he knows he can't get you when you believe it at the beginning of a word and he can't stop you when the thing arrives so his only chance is to catch you in the middle but I'm gonna stand right here in the middle I'm gonna give him praise in the middle and I declare we going from Redemption to relentless in the middle and we're not gonna lose we're gonna win in the middle and we gonna stay multicultural multi-generational singular focus on Jesus and the cross in the middle can I get an amen in the middle Deuteronomy 6 and 4 says hear o Israel the Lord our God the Lord is one you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your strength this is the Shema of God the Shama it's the it's the great declaration of God's people here o Israel the Lord our God the Lord is one and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your strength and then the writer goes on to declare the blessings of obedience that if you take heed to the word of the Lord that you will dwell in cities that you didn't build live in houses that you didn't build with furniture you didn't have to pay for you thought you had to call rent-a-center what if I told you that the blessing of the Old Testament has come full circle in the person of Jesus Christ and because of his forever sacrifice the promises for then are active today and what if one of those moments was right now what if God was waiting on somebody to show up today you've been praying you've been coming to church for years sewing serving sometimes unseen sacrificing for the good of others and what if the Lord said today imma just turn it around today what I met a lady she was coming through the offering line she said we came from Georgia to hear you preach where she where you at is that you what part of Georgia did y'all come from Buford over there by nine eighty five alright come here cuz here's some gas money for you pressed down shaken together running over let me tell you why I was able to show that into them cuz a man of God sewed it into me I don't even know where he went he just put it in my hand and he declared a blessing and just like that the seed he sowed has now been sown again so now he's getting a double if you knew what was happening right now I've been attired in my whole life so I believed in it but there are some things that are bigger than money because I've shown in tears does anybody here ever cried at night crying so hard that the tears from this I come over your nose catch these tears and hit the pillow am I talking can I be real in here there been times but I've been so broken didn't know what to do I couldn't even get the words out all I could do was just whimper [Music] and he hurt me I said he hurt me because he's a good good father and I just want to let you know that you're in this service today and you had to get here oh and I feel sorry for the ones that God told to Gideon is like now imma go next week they might get a residual blessing but they go get that first fruit I'm getting ready to declare a scripture to you 2nd king 7 if it applies to you then worship accordingly then Elijah said this is the one that got the double portion from Elijah speaking to people who were in the midst of a famine famine utter abject poverty people eating their babies that's the level of famine that was happening this is a level of brokenness that had not been seen and then he declared here's the word of the Lord thus says the Lord tomorrow about this time [Applause] I'm sorry I gotta say it again because some of y'all missed it because what you should have did is look at your watch because you're less than 24 hours from this time tomorrow tomorrow about this time Asya of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel and to sea of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria translation for those of us who don't understand what Assia and a shekel and barley is all about by this time tomorrow that which was impossible today will be actual in your hands tomorrow translation the thing you've been praying for for years is going to show up be activated unlocked or in route by this tomorrow but there's always a hater close by here's what the hater said if the Lord would make windows first of all make windows in heaven like God's got to was cool cuz Jesus is a carpenter he could make something if he wanted to if the Lord would make windows in heaven could this thing be any lie she said in fact you'll see it with your eyes but you shall not eat of it this is for you to know that God has removed anybody from your blessing that didn't believe in the in their heart that God could do it in the first place you were sad because God was removing people and you didn't know why it's because he didn't want them mooching off of your blessing so he had to let the relationships all off he had to let the break-up occur now he had to let you see who the person actually was some of y'all are not shouting on the level that she should you sad because they left you need to be glad because God was protecting the blessing [Applause] about this time tomorrow everything in your life is going to change you just messed around and stepped into the season of suddenly I just changed the title because I had another graphic and I'd preached another message at the first service same scripture but the Holy Ghost is doing something different in here the season of suddenly write it down Caesar - suddenly the season is suddenly it's when you drive from Gwinnett the season is suddenly when you drive from Atlanta Charlotte from Nebraska Houston where else did y'all drive from Nashville Asheville I live in Asheville I need some lotion where else Louisiana in the house Orangeburg come on mother what if I told you when you woke up this morning God was more excited than you were [Applause] now that we are parents I'm more excited on Christmas to watch my kids when they open their gifts y'all miss that when the Holy Spirit walk you up this morning get to church get to church you know that Geico commercial all you almost have it hey I'm not quite wake up get in the car play your good worship music because I got a word here's what you need to know God doesn't send things he'll send his word the word will always precede the thing light didn't show up till he spoke it the word came then light showed up once a word is released the things have to show up once the word is released the things have to show up I'm about to say something real crazy if you don't want it they leave it alone somebody next to you will get it every single thing that has been held up with your name on it has to rush to you in the next 24 hours every single thing that has been held hostage held up by principalities rulers of wickedness angels are warring to release it right now because your prayers your faithfulness and your worship have turned the tide of the battle about this time tomorrow many of you will see with your eyes what you said out of your mouth [Applause] about this time tomorrow you should walk around that house you've been believing for about this time tomorrow call the realtor back about this time tomorrow you should be finishing that business plan about this time tomorrow you should be holding up the doctor's report that said cervical cancer and marking it healed in red ink [Applause] now for for those who don't know why I said that I was led to step out during worship I thought it was for one thing I met somebody who's on the team who had just gotten a dosage diagnosis of cervical cancer and the Holy Ghost said declare no seven times in the atmosphere so I held her hand I said no seven times didn't we declared the blessing and the reason why I can declare the blessing over her is because I had already saw God heal my mother from Stage four pancreatic cancer with no surgery no chemo no radiation when they gave her months to live and she looked at the doctor and said I'm glad you said I have no hope now you can't get credit when God heals me so because I heard her say it then I saw it I can repeat it tell somebody repeated I dare you to repeat what God has said to you whatever it is right now if God has ever made you a promise I dare you to get it out of your mouth and in this atmosphere don't look at me just throw it up I believe that this church is getting ready to be one of the most generationally relevant local churches anywhere in the world and the entire world will come to Greenville to see what the heck is going on from the Haywood mall does anybody believe that the world is coming because of the power of the Holy Ghost about this time Jordan you drove in from where Dothan Alabama you drove in this your first time here came in last night you felt a shift in your spirit she detects what why she said I feel a shift I just feel like I need to get to the house drove from Dothan Alabama just it just shifted how much you reckon it cost you in gas to get there you stopped three times well I'm gonna throw the first seed and I'm sure five other people are going to sew into you before you sit down to let you know that you before you sit down five other people are going to sew into you so your gas will be covered because God wants you to know you're at the right church at the right time with the right people and just like that he multiplied back into you and then the young man that just sowed into you he also drove in from Houston so he's sowing into where you're going look at that press down shaken together running about this time over here where is that where is the single mother with the you drove up here and you had orange light on in your car is that you orange light is on on your gas tank where are you is that you come here come here she's right here come here come here the orange light was on in your gas tank I want you to know it took faith for you to walk up here and before you can get back to your seat not only will the car be full but you'll have enough in your hands to get food for the whole week for you and your kids because God wants you to know he has not forgotten about you so as you won't expect to be blessed because God wanted to let you know today he loves you he sees that you're trying he believes in you he's proud of you and he has not forgotten [Music] about this time tomorrow about this time [Music] whereas dairies trained and ready go he's in the back the Bible says this Byron youth pastor Byron and Mariah the Bible says in the book of Acts he had all things coming and distributed to each one as they had need the mark of the New Testament church that God is raising up will be a church that is so committed to its local body and we literally cause corporations and other institutions that are godless to look at the church and say whatever they're doing we need to do that I'm tired of us looking to the world they don't have the Holy Ghost they don't know Jesus that doesn't mean that we don't love them but I'm tired of following behind people that don't care nothing about our Jesus Oh God I'm about to say something real crazy master Travis can I say it there's an average or they're gonna they're gonna think I'm crazy I believe there are a number of people in this room that have an idea that is a billion-dollar idea I don't know if it's an app or a restaurant or God has given you an a gift you are a billion dollar company sitting in this church right now there are at least 10 million multi-million dollar ideas in this room right now and I declare in the next three years we will see who they were marking from this day you have a company a business an idea three years from now God is going to breathe on it and make it worth seven figures here is my charge to you don't forget God when you get where you go [Applause] somebody say suddenly somebody say suddenly Elijah prophesied by this time tomorrow the famine will be over when you get a word like that you have two responses you can be skeptical or you can worship now we only got a couple minutes cuz I'm already late but because I love you and I'm your pastor I got to so this word into you God is looking for someone who will step out of their comfort zone who will be who will say yes to God so that you can be a conduit for his resources to get to the people of God I'm gonna say that again he's looking for someone who will say yes so that they can be a conduit to get resources to the people of God translation you're not going to be independently wealthy for your own sake [Applause] I love God my prayer is that as the people of God you always have enough to pay your bills and meet the needs of your family I do not believe that every single person is going to be supernaturally exponentially rich everyday because some people can't handle that but I believe that there are a number of people in this room and if I'm talking to you you need to respond when I say it that God wants to trust you with resources watch this so much that you will not be comfortable going to sleep until you give some away [Applause] [Music] there was an offering in the Old Testament pastor Darius where Moses asked for some sacrificial giving they gave so much that he actually had to stop them you remember this I believe that Redemption which is becoming relentless we are becoming relentless we are resembling I know it's hard to worship in the middle I know it's hard to so in the middle I don't know what is this I don't know what's going on with whose the passes the white one or the fat black one I need to know it's mixed it's chocolate and vanilla swirl it's it's the chocolate chip ministry your seed goes to God not the hands of man if there was any moment - so it's the gap between what was and what's coming if I had more money I throw it on this altar right now because I believe that the middle is when the ground is most fertile [Applause] are there any single father's in here is that you sir gray hair black shirt both of you single father's children in your house now come here you and the one behind you both of you come here [Applause] come in both of you men come here stand here is that your son what's his name Dylan has he have a couple of challenges was what's Dylan's challenges he has a condition called myotonic dystrophy what does that mean it means his low muscle tone and he all saying neurological damage from he was born and he's a miracle and a blessing and the enemy didn't want him to survive but right now Dylan is clapping even though he has whatever the doctors say our deficits he's sitting there worshiping while some of you are sitting you don't have an excuse if Dylan is praising and a single father is raising him as we always blessed where are the men well here's two of them right here who are serving their families what's your name sir Brian I'm John Gray it's nice to meet you I want you both to know that you represent the very best heart of what God wants in his men when you could have walked away from the responsibility you stayed and the enemy is so angry that you stayed because as long as you're in the gap he can't get to your kids I want you to know that before you get back to your seat both of you will have enough money to breathe for the next month before you get back to your seat I want you to walk slow because I want you to see how God celebrates his sons who stand in the gap as a pastor and hopefully your pastor I want you to know we love you me and my wife believe in you were sowing seed into you and as you walk the Lord is going to multiply for you and your children so go ahead and walk slow and somebody sewed in the Jordan now she's sewing in the youth so it just keeps going I wish y'all knew what was happening in here right now we got single fathers in here trying to do right we're gonna celebrate these men we're not gonna beat up our men we got good men in here men who love God good husbands good fathers good leaders [Music] I wish my father was here to see this I [Music] got my father-in-law he's been like a dad to me and thank you papa thank you for being there [Music] y'all forgive me for this emotion I just the devil wanted you guys to miss my heart in the transition because often hearts get lost in translation in the only way that this transition would be successful is if you all saw the heart of me and my wife our heart is to bless you to build you but what God is going to do to mark this moment is he's going to start moving suddenly from left to right in this room listen to me right now a shift is about to happen in this room and those who are watching online if you believe that I'm hearing from God hear me holy go sweep from left to right in this room fill each gap in each life marking the season of suddenly that by this time tomorrow what was impossible with men will become actual with you my prayer is that as you become supernaturally wealthy not just financially but in your spirit that you don't remember all the wrong you ever did just remember the seeds you sow and remember that this was the moment that God decided to bless you the Bible says that when Elijah prophesied the next thing that happened was there were foreign lepers who walked into the camp of the Syrians on faith they were in the middle they were ostracized from Israel and they weren't welcome at this camp of the Syrians they were in the middle kind of like us lepers forgotten overlooked The Walking Dead The Walking Dead and they said if we go back they'll kill us and if we go into the camp of the Syrians they leave there arrest us or kill us either way we're gonna die but we're starving right now so we might as well take a chance and walk on in the Bible says the lepers walked into the camp and to their surprise no one was there I want you to know the people who you thought were your enemies are gonna disappear by this time tomorrow [Applause] [Music] that said the ones who set themselves up as your enemies will be gone by this time tomorrow they look tough but they're an illusion they're dust they're clouds you can blow right through them the Bible says it was the lepers who got the spoils and they said amongst themselves we need to go tell our brothers and sisters in Israel that the war is over isn't it funny that the ones that got rejected and hurt we're the ones that gave them the the blessing the principle there is be careful how you treat people because you don't know which direction your blessing is coming in God will put your miracle in the hands of a leper to see if you'll judge them we will not be a church that judges people based on their past or their present we don't know how anybody arrived at their destination you don't know who's been abused you don't know who was beaten beyond recognition you don't know anything all we know is they're in here which means they got a chance [Applause] some people been coming to church a long time seem like it's taken long what is it to you you weren't on the cross so don't worry about how long it takes somebody to change worry about you being prideful and judgmental leave other people alone let's love people leave the judgment to God the lepers are the untouchables but I know y'all saying well we don't have lepers today yes we do church folk treat people like lepers who don't think like them who don't believe like them who don't worship like them who don't shout like them who don't look like them we want to stand behind the velvet rope in the VAP section very anointed people whatever there is no velvet rope there's only a scarlet thread from heaven to earth the blood of Jesus and I declare right now this message comes to a close that's suddenly you and your family are about to see it's best days suddenly the warfare in your marriage will end and suddenly your children will act right suddenly debt will be released off of your life suddenly suddenly you will have the discipline to make wise decisions so that your credit score goes up suddenly the Lord will give you enough resources so that you can begin to save for your children and your children's children suddenly it's going to turn around conversations from 10 years ago will become actual by this time tomorrow Stephen whelps has been my friend for many years when I was a single man dreaming and believing one day I'd have a family one day God would do something in my life and I remember him telling me years ago he said John you don't know what God's gonna do in your life is so big you can't see it I remember when I told him I had gotten an offer to go to Lakewood he said that's great he said don't get comfortable he won't be there long what God has for you is even bigger than that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and in my mind I said well what's bigger than the biggest God said bigger [Applause] so this must be y'all miss that I want to tell you thank you for being a prophet in my life when no one else was there you told me I'd be standing here doing something that no one had ever seen and by this time tomorrow the Welsh family will be established in a way that it had never been established before and you will see the very best days of your life and your children and your children's children will one day rise up and call you blessed I declare a blessing over you and your beautiful bride and your daughters and I declare that God is about to exponentially increase you by a thousand whatever you have in your life is going to be multiplied a thousand times over I love you suddenly has decided to visit your house I don't know how to take offering them I have to learn because I'm gonna be a pastor in five weeks but right now we're gonna do salvation because right now the ground is right for somebody to give their life to Jesus if you're in here Jesus wants to let you know that suddenly is upon you you don't have to wait till Easter if you need to get saved if you need to rededicate or the Lord is causing you and put in your heart you need to join this church redemption relentless redemptive get in here on the count of three if you need to give your life to Jesus you need to rededicate or you want to join on the count of three get to this altar one two

y'all come on it's more coming it's more coming smart coming smart coming [Applause] I don't know if you realize things like this are not happening everywhere and if you look at the altar it's not just black folk so that's just white folk it's not just younger children or mature adults God's got this whole altar looking like heaven and that's what this church is a picture of heaven somebody else needs to move from that seat join us you know that the Lord is talking to you get up out your seat get your purse move your feet join us join us walk on down the I put a smile on your face your life has changed everything is new everything is free you just entered the season of suddenly yeah the hand of God is on you come here sweetie father I pray for every person at this altar that this is a forever moment marked by the miraculous and I declare in the name of Jesus that families will never be the same generations will never be the same and I pray that the harvest of today will become the unbelievable miracle stories of tomorrow everybody at this altar I want you to repeat these words after me those who are standing and seated are going to stretch their hands towards you and they're gonna repeat it with you Lord Jesus it's me I need you I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus is Lord thank you for the blood that was shed for me today right now I declare you are my Lord and my Savior everything is made new right now Jesus I'm coming home I love you in your name amen we believe if you prayed that simple prayer you just got saved can we celebrate our brothers and sisters wait don't leave hold on as they walk out I want them to hear us cheer louder for them than we do for our Clemson Tigers and our South Carolina Gamecocks because they got saved and the devil lost in heaven won as they walk out as they walk out let's celebrate this let's celebrate this [Music]
