- I wanna take a moment this evening to ask you to mark on your calendar, the date of October the 6th from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Worldwide Prayer Meeting
from Time Square Church is going to be coming to you directly from Plymouth, Massachusetts in the house built in 1790, on the foundation
of the very first house built in America in the year 1620 by the pilgrims who came to America with a promise from God in their hearts. This is a God's idea, He's gathering us here for
this particular moment. It's a solemn moment where
He's been speaking to my heart that in 1620 there were about 104 people that landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and they sailed from their
former place of living because they had a promise from God that they were going to be given a land where men and women could worship freely according to conscience, and
according to the word of God. Having landed on the shores
of Plymouth, Massachusetts, the first winter, almost
more than half of them died, there were about 51 left. After the end of the first
year, they met in the house that we will be in and
not the exact house, but on the very foundation, they met there at the end of
the first year and they prayed. They had no strength, they had no plan, they were surrounded by enemies. All they had was a promise from what we just sang from the Waymaker, the one who a miracle worker, one who makes a way forward. They had a promise that they
were being given the land whereby men and women
could worship freely, according to conscience. And God was faithful to his promise. It's 400 years since God
made that covenant promise with those Pilgrim founders
in Plymouth, Massachusetts back in the year 1620. And we're gonna go back
on the 400th anniversary and pray from the foundation
of that very house. And the Lord has asked
us to ask Him forgiveness for what we have done as
a nation with our freedom. Amazingly, we took the freedom He gave us to worship according to conscience. And at the end of 400 years, you have no doubt that we've turned that into something that doesn't look like what it was intended to be. He's asked me to be specific, to confess the actual sins of the nation and name them, call them by their name. When I first went there
to that house and prayed, I felt the presence of God
so powerfully come upon me that I couldn't sleep that night, went back to my hotel
room and I said, God, why did you lead me to
Plymouth, Massachusetts, and what is it that
you're trying to tell me? And I felt the Lord lead me
to the story in Chronicles where Solomon the King had
just dedicated the temple. And that evening, the
Lord appeared to Solomon and said to Solomon, if my
people are taken captive into a foreign place, and in that place, they come to themselves
and begin to realize what they've forfeited,
what they've left behind, and they turn back to this
place and they begin to pray, that's what He says, "I will hear their prayer
and forgive their sin "and I will heal their land." So this is not just a prayer meeting, and this is not a man's
idea or men's ideas, this is God drawing us back to this place where the nation of America first began on October the 6th of this year. Mark it on your calendar, 7:00
p.m to 9:00 p.m Eastern time. Talk to all of your friends about it. We're encouraging people
to gather in their homes, gather your friends, gather your family, gather your churches, gather
as many as you can gather, get the word out to as many
people as you can get it out to, and we're gonna pray together
from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. We'll be bringing people in via Skype, from different areas
throughout the country. People from different walks
of life, we'll be praying, but we're gonna begin
that meeting in the house where America first began, and we're going to reiterate as it is the covenant that God made. That's what He spoke to me the night that I couldn't sleep, He said, "I made a covenant
promise with those people "who prayed on that lot,
in that particular house." And so we're gonna go back and say, God, remember your mercy, in
your wrath, remember mercy. And even though we have done unjustly with the freedom that you gave us, God almighty, we confess
our sins before you. And we believe because the scripture says, "If we will humble ourselves and pray "and turn from our wicked
ways, He will hear, "and He will forgive our sin
and He will heal our land." This is what we're going
to believe God for. And I thank you for marking
that on your calendar. So father in Jesus name, Lord, we lift up the nation before you. And we recognize God that
we have done abominable evil with the freedom that you once gave us. We've killed children in the womb, we've married homosexuals. Lord, we've done so many more things. We've allowed the godless
to teach our children. We've elected people to office
in this nation who hate you. Lord, forgive us for what
we did with our freedom. Forgive us, my God for how
you blessed and prospered us, and we took it as
nations have done before, and we threw it back in your face. We scorned your words
and we scorned your way. And so father, we are going
to gather on October the 6th, one month before the nation
has to choose our future. One month before the election
in this nation, we will meet, and we will gather, and we will pray, and we will ask again for your mercy. God have mercy on us as a
people, have mercy on our homes, our marriages, our families, our children. Lord, we call out to you as
the children of Israel once did when they were in bondage,
in the nation of Egypt and when their children were
being thrown into the river. We look at our situation today where our children are being thrown into the river of gender confusion and confusion about the existence of God and being radicalized by
Marxists in our colleges. God forgive us for this ignorance, for what we let happen to this nation in the name of freedom. Only you can turn us
back, but we sang tonight Lord, that you are a miracle working God. - Hallelujah.
- You are a Waymaker when nobody else can make a way, you are the one that we
heard on Sunday morning can cause a man to buy a plot of land in a place that's under siege and believe with you for the future. This is where we stand, this is what we're asking for. And God, I don't care
what it's going to cost because the cost will be much
greater if we don't pray. If we don't seek you, if we don't confess
the sins of the nation, if we don't call them by name, the cost to our children
will be incalculable. So Lord help us, give us the grace as adults to rise up and fight. Give us the grace to stand and believe. Give us the grace Lord to stand in the gap and push back this onslaught of hell that wants to swallow a
whole generation in our time. Give us courage Lord
to face the criticisms that will come our way. Lord, we don't care about these things. We care about you and your kingdom. We care about our children. We care about eternal life that's given to all who ask in Jesus name. We care about the future of a nation, and it must break your heart to have to judge this nation Lord. God for you have heard every prayer and you've seen every tear. You know the generals throughout history that got down on their knees
and begged you for victory and you gave it to them. God, you protected us and you've kept us. And oh, here we are Lord
at the very precipice of deciding to go into
an internal godlessness in this nation, and only
you can turn it back. And so Lord, we're going to stand on, we're going to kneel, we're going to pray, we're going to believe. And I ask you God to
send this message tonight across the nation, home
to home, house to house, ear to ear, a person to person, that we would gather in our homes. And Lord Jesus Christ one month,
one month before we choose which way we're gonna go, one month before we go back to you or go
into everlasting godlessness, one month Lord, we will pray, and we believe for your mercy. So father, thank you God, thank you, thank you, thank you that you are a miracle working God. Thank you, Lord, this was not our idea, you led us to that place and you said, "I want to hear your voices
where this nation once began." Lord a day with you is like a 1000 years and a 1000 years like a day. You remember those prayers
of those 51 pilgrims as if it was just five
minutes ago, nothing changes. You're not bound by time like we are. And so Lord God here we come. And we don't have a plan and
we don't have any strength, and we are surrounded by enemies. And just as they were all, our only hope is you for the future. Without you Lord, we will
certainly cease to be a voice, we will certainly go into bondage. And so God, thank you for
what you're going to do. We give you the praise. We give you all the glory and
I pray God with all my heart that even this little presentation tonight would simply go viral across the nation. And I thank you for it in Jesus name, Amen. Thank you so much, thank you Raphael and all of the group, God bless you. And for those that are with us tonight, we're gonna have communion
after I share a little bit from the word of God tonight. So if you have the time to get
some juice and some crackers in your kitchen and bring
them to where you are, so that you can join
us and be part of that, be very, very much appreciated. Now I have a word tonight for people that are in impossible places, and it's gonna be based on the word that pastor Tim Dilena
spoke on Sunday morning. And I thank God with all my heart that I'm getting stirred
by pastor Tim's preaching, I hope you are too as well. It was a phenomenal
message on Sunday morning of what do you do when you find yourself in an impossible place and how does God get involved in that. Now, so for tonight I
wanna just, I wanna pray, and then I wanna read some prayer requests that have come in throughout this week. And then I have a word
specifically for everyone who's in these prayer requests or other people who are
in similar situations. So father, I wanna thank you
with all of my heart tonight that you are a God who
is not only faithful, but you surprise us. And you do things Lord
when we least expect it, when we don't feel worthy, when we feel like we
are unusable, unlovely. God almighty you come down at the time when we least expected you would. And as you spoke to Gideon,
as you called Moses, as you've done throughout history, you call us when we
feel too old, too weak, too young, unlovely, unloved God, and you call us to do
something that will bring honor and glory to your name
and even change history. So thank you Lord God that
we are in that place again of needing you, we're in the place Lord, I pray God where we can
actually hear you again in the way that we need to. Your church is so bruised and battered and beat up in so many places God, that I believe that we are the candidates for the miraculous now for you to be God and to touch our lives and use our lives in such a way that no one would touch the glory. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ
for just bringing us to a place as a nation and individually
where we recognize that without you, we have no future, without you we have no strength, without you, Lord God
there's nothing ahead that would bring glory to your name or release and redemption to people who are crying out for freedom. And so God, thank you,
thank you, thank you for all that you've done
and what you will do. And I do pray tonight that as
we go to the communion table, that we will be reminded of
the fact that you are God, will be reminded of the
fact that you do things in ways that we don't understand, your ways are not our
ways, and your thoughts are not our thoughts. I'm so thankful for that Lord. I am so thankful for who you are and for the way you do things. And we give you praise
and glory in Jesus name. If I were to give this
word a title tonight, I would call it Your
Hidden Word From God," your hidden word. God's given you a word, it's hidden. Sometimes it's hidden from
the people of God themselves, where sometimes somebody has received it and actually hidden it within their heart. I wanna just read you
a few prayer requests before we go to the word of God. From Somerset, Texas, Sarah says, "Pray for my 19 year old
daughter, she used to love God, "but now she says she
doesn't believe the Bible, "and she's bisexual. "I can't bear to see her go to hell." Well, Sarah, we're gonna believe with you, you don't have to see her go there. We do serve a mighty God and I thank God He's able to reach your
daughter no matter where she is or what her lifestyle has become. It might be beyond your
hand to reach her now, but it's not beyond the hand of God. And you watch what God's
about to do for you. From The Bronx, "Pray
for peace in my home. "My chest feels heavy
and I'm tired of crying, "I feel so alone." From Florida, "I'm depressed,
I'm suffering panic attacks "and neuropathy also have
shoulder and knee pain, "where I live, the cases
of COVID are rising. "Please Lord help slow down the virus." From Spokane, Washington, Kevin says, "I'm a quadriplegic looking for housing." Kevin, God was gonna be faithful to you. God sees you, He knows your need, and just let Him surprise you, watch what He's going to do. Yulado from San Antonio Texas says, "Please pray for my son. "Glen has been delivered
from drug addiction. "I do pray He finds Jesus, He
would like to help others." From the US, "please pray
we started out for Christ "and raised seven children for Him, "but we've lost our
way, Jesus, please help. "We need miracles on many fronts." Michelle from New York says, "God, please mend my broken heart. "Lift this deep depression, "the sense of hopelessness and loneliness. "I don't have any more strength and I'm crying out for help." From New Zealand, "My
marriage is under attack. "We need healing and salvation for John, "he's talking about divorce. "He's speaking hurtful and damaging words, "and the children also need us, "ask God to make a way for us." From Amsterdam in the
Netherlands, Sharon says, "Please, will you pray for
a financial miracle for me? "I haven't had an income
for seven months now. "And when I applied for a
job by only get rejections." Jacqueline from San Diego in the UK, "My son, chances as a
prisoner of alcoholism, "he's asked the Lord to help him. "He said the Lord, hasn't
heard his born again prayer, "he needs a miracle." Steven from Kenilworth, New Jersey, "I'm a Christian that
has had heavy depression "for the last six and a half years, "please pray for this lifting. "I want to give up, but I
know He is able to heal." We know it to Steven and we're
standing with you tonight, and we're believing God
with you and for you. And lastly, Sonia from
Queens, New York says, "My daughter, 23 year old
Celeste texted me saying "that she's going to kill herself. "We don't know where she
is, I can't reach her, please pray." So father tonight, we just
reach out for Celeste Lord. We don't know where she
is either God, but you do. And Lord as you once came into a room and you met the pastor
of this campus church in a hopeless condition,
we ask you tonight, Lord, to reach down and touch
Celeste, right where she is. Open her mind, open
her heart to the future that you have for her. Speak to her God, give her a word tonight that she would know could
only come from heaven. Deliver her from this
demonic assault in her mind that has convinced her that
life is not worth living. God, we ask you to assuage the heart of this precious mother who
probably not slept for nights knowing this and knowing
her daughter's out there thinking of suicide. Oh Jesus, oh Jesus, it
is time for you to act. It's time for you to
lift your hand or power out of your bosom God, and do the work that you said you came to do. We implore you father in Jesus name and for the sake of Jesus, God send your Holy spirit into
every one of these situations and set people free and
open their prison doors and give them sight to see a way forward, and in their poverty, have the treasure of Christ open to them. Oh Lord Jesus Christ, we
call out to you tonight on a (indistinct), we need
you, we need you, we need you. You yourself said to your own people, "You should not see me again until you say "blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord." So Lord we say to you, we
bless you, we love you, we need you, we need your
ways, we need your power, we need your glory again,
we need your healing, we need your direction, we need your site, we need your freedom. We need you Lord Jesus Christ we need you. You are welcome here. You are welcome oh God, in each situation. And we invite you to do
the miraculous tonight. And we thank you for it in Jesus name, Amen. I wanna talk to you tonight about your hidden word from God. Psalm 119:10-11. Here's what the Psalmist says, "With my whole heart, I have sought you. "Oh, let me not wander
from your commandments. "Your word, I have hidden in my heart "that I might not sin against you." This is a phenomenal statement from this particular Psalmist. And I've loved that one verse of scripture for many, many years
where he says, "Your word, "I have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you." Now our concept of sinning
against God is lying and stealing and committing adultery. And those things are sins against God. But the connotation here goes
a little bit deeper than not. When he says that I might
not sin against you, he's not just talking about a
condemnation or uncleanness, he's not talking about just that. When you look at the original
definition of the word that is used there, that I might not say, "I've hidden your word in my heart, "that I might not sin against you." It also implies living a
life that is off the target, that's an incredible thing, isn't it? In other words, it's
like an arrow that shot from the hand of God, and
in a sense the arrow decides to just to veer to the
left or veer to the right and actually misses the
target for its life. It also speaks of getting lost or coming up short of the goal, or a serious breakdown in
a personal relationship. So that now changes, that now expands the meaning of this
particular verse of scripture. Your word I've hidden in my heart, that I might not end up off target, that I might not get lost, that I might not end up short of the goal that you have for my life, or that there might not
be as serious breakdown in our personal relationship. The relationship God
that you have with me, that you freely gave to me, when your son Jesus Christ became Lord and savior of my life. Lord you have a purpose. You see, as well as doing something bad, it also carries the connotation with it of neglecting to do something good. James 4:17 in the New Testament says, "Therefore to him who knows to do good "and does not do it, to him it is sin." So it takes the definition a little bit, makes it a little bigger than
just doing some bad thing that we know is bad. How about the concept
of knowing what to do and yet not moving towards that where the word of God is leading us? Now I don't share this to condemn anyone, but I want to remind
you of something tonight that God considers His promises
to you a very serious thing. It's not a light thing with God. The scripture says in
the book of Hebrews 11:6, let me just read it to you, "Without faith it is
impossible to please him." Now it's the writer of
Hebrews, which has God, of course, we understand that. He talks about the world's
being framed by the word of God. He talks about Abel offering to God, a more excellent sacrifice. He talks about Enoc being
taken away from this earth without seeing death. He's talking about these incredible things that have happened throughout history then interjects between Enoch, and then Noah interjects
this one verse and says, "Without faith, it is
impossible to please Him." Which means that we can go to
church, that's a good thing. We can read our Bibles,
that's a great thing. We can pray for an hour a
day, that's a wonderful thing. There's so many good things
we can do, but without faith, it is impossible to please Him. "For he who comes to God
must believe that He is," and know God exists, God
is concerned about us. God has a divine plan for every life, "and that He's a rewarder of
those who diligently seek Him." In other words, if you and I have an honest walk with God, if we are in the word of God and we start to see the
promises of God to us, if we don't believe them, it's very difficult for us to please God, that's according to the scripture,
what the scripture says. I know we're fully received
with God through Jesus Christ, but I wanna live a life
that is pleasing to God on this earth, I know
that you do too as well, I'm sure of that. But it requires faith because
God takes His promises to us as a very serious thing, it's not a light thing. Every life born into the kingdom of God has a hidden promise and purpose. Every life, your life does, my life does, things that only God knows
the day you open your heart and Jesus Christ came into your life, and the Holy spirit became
your comforter and your guide, in that day, a divine
plan was put into motion for your life. And it didn't mean that
God was gonna take you while you are strong and use
your strength for His glory. He was most likely gonna take you where you're least qualified. And He Himself was gonna become the source of your strength. He was going to do what you
and I can't do for ourselves. He was going to take us
where we could never go. He was going to make us into
what we could never hope to be, and give us what we could never possess. He was going to put words in our mouth. He was going to give us a new heart. The scripture says a new
mind and a new spirit. He was gonna take us from death to life, and He was going to
raise us up in His power as a living testimony of
the reality that He is God, that He is willing to save, and He does have a divine
plan for every life. You see, so you're not
just a happenstance. You're not just a victim
sitting on the sidelines of some divine game that's
going on in the universe. You're not just a pylon
in somebody else's game. You have a divine purpose in
your life that God gave to you. And He begins to whisper
that purpose into your heart in the very early days of your salvation. He whispers that purpose into your heart. And the problem we face as
human beings in our humanness, is it because of it's outside of the realm of what we see as possible
through our strength or experience or influence or whatever it else we have or don't have, we sometimes gravitate,
or receive those things as we think from God that
we are capable of doing. But we push away those things that we feel we could never accomplish, we could never do. Jeremiah 32, we heard
about it on Sunday morning where the prophet Jeremiah was told, he was given a word, Jeremiah who says, "The word of
the Lord came to me." The word of the Lord came to me. The word of the Lord came to me. And God told him to buy
land in an area of a city that was under siege. It was about, and he already knew that, Jeremiah already knew, he
was already prophesied, he was already encouraging
people to surrender. He knew that Babylon was going
to conquer the promised land as it was at that time for a season, going to take all of the
people of God into captivity. But in the midst of all of this, in the midst of what looked to be a siege. And I'm talking to people
tonight who are under siege. You're writing it and I read
a lot of your prayer requests. You're being bombarded from every side. It looks hopeless, your
chest is heavy from crying, you're tired of being depressed. You feel like you haven't no way forward. You don't know what
you're gonna do with life, you don't know what's gonna
happen to your family, your marriage is falling apart. You're a city, that's under siege, and it looks like you're
going to be destroyed. And in the midst of it all, the word of the Lord comes to you. As the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, and he says, "I want you, I'm
gonna speak a word to you, "and I want you to take that word. "And I want you to put
it in an earthen vessel. "And I want you to bury it for a season." For a season it will look dark, but the word that I give
you will come to pass. Absolutely amazing. We are the earthen vessel now. We bear the treasure of this
incredible life of Christ in earthen vessels, that's
what the apostle Paul says. Now God says, "I'm giving you a word." Now it may take a season for it to come to pass, you understand? It doesn't mean because
God gives you a word that He's duty bound
to fulfill it tomorrow. It may take a season,
it may take a few years. It may take some experience. You may have to go
through some of the things that some of the people of God throughout history have had to go through. But if you bury that word, it
means you embrace that word. And you lodge that word
in this earthen vessel. Now you become a
fulfillment of the scripture that says, "Your word I
have hidden in my heart." Why, that I might not miss
the mark, as we said earlier, that I might not end up getting lost or come up short of the goal
that you have for my life, or have a serious breakdown
in our personal relationship. It will come to pass. seek Him now, ask Him to speak into your situation. Open the word of God, and God will speak to you
because this word is alive, it's not just dead letter on a book. This is breathed onto these
pages by the breath of God and this word lives to
every soul, every heart, every person, every generation. God said to Jeremiah 32:27, again, Jeremiah says, "And the
word of the Lord came to me." And God said to him,
"Behold, I am the Lord, "the God of all flesh, is there
anything too hard for me?" Is there anything? Remember he who comes to
God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of
those who diligently seek Him. That means with an honest
heart, it doesn't mean you're a mountain or pillar of faith, it just means you have
a mustard seed of faith in the faithfulness of God, you care about the honor of His name, just like David when he came
into the camp of Israel, the whole army of Israel couldn't fight this big mouth Goliath at that time. And it was just a young shepherd
boy that came in and said, "Is there not a cause?" He was very concerned
about the honor of God, he's very concerned
about the mockery of God and the mockery of God's people. And in that seed of faith and
trust in God and that word, remember in the scriptures, as he went down the
Valley to face that giant, the spirit of God came on
him, he began to prophesy not just to Goliath, but to
the whole Philistine army that they were gonna
be destroyed that day, and there was going to
be an incredible route. The spirit of the Lord came on him because God had planted
a word in his heart and he believed it. And because he believed that
he didn't miss the mark, he didn't come short
of what God had for him or for the people of God around him. Oh, thank God for that. Now let me conclude with
this thought in John 16, Jesus talking about the Holy
spirit, in verse 13 says, "However, when He, the
spirit of truth has come." You see, your situation
will try to tell you that it has the last word, but it doesn't have
the last word over you. There would be all kinds of
people in Jeremiah's day saying "It's hopeless, we're to be conquered, "we're gonna be assimilated
into a foreign culture. "We're going to lose our heritage. "We're going to lose our land. "We're going to lose our
purpose in the earth." And Jeremiah would be the one to say, "No, I have a word from God," "The spirit of truth has come, "and He has shown me that
we're going to come back here "one day in the future,
in houses, in vineyards, "and cities and are
going to be built again, "and there's going to be joy
in our streets one more time." You see the spirit of truth. "However, when He, the
spirit of truth has come "He will guide you into all
truth," He will guide you. He will lead you into that
which He has for your life and for your situation. "He will not speak on His own authority, "but whatever He hears He will speak "and He will tell you things to come," He will tell you things to come. I remember I was thinking about this as I was preparing to speak here tonight, and I've just a flood
of memories of the past after I came to Christ and
He started speaking to me about things to come. Now I had the option to reject it. I had the option to push it away. I remember one time we'd
just come from dinner at a restaurant, and I was
waiting for pastor Teresa. And I remember I was
looking out the window and I saw an airplane go by. And I wasn't thinking anything, and the sudden whisper
of God came into my heart and he said, "Carter,
you're going to travel "all over the world, "and you're going to tell
people about who I am "and what I have done for you "and what I'm able to do for them." And I remember I just took that word and it wasn't a personal
ambition, trust me, I had never preached a sermon. I didn't really even like being in crowds at that time in my life,
but I took that word and I put it in my heart. And I remember saying, I will go God but it would have to be you. And if it is you speaking
to me, I will go, and I will do the things
that you've asked me to do. And I thought of the
seasons where pastor Teresa and I came into early ministry
when we would just pray and God would speak a
word into our hearts. And as He spoke the word,
we would believe it, and we would move towards, move with Him towards
the fulfillment of it. And I can honestly tell you, He has never failed me
one time, never once. That's why I know that
even going to Plymouth is going to have a profound effect on the future of this country. I know it in my heart,
He's never failed me. I remember going into a
little town called Riceville, we were looking for a church
building and we were praying, because we were being thrown
out of every building in town. They didn't want to, it was
very staunchly religious, they didn't want a Christian
testimony in their midst. And I remember there was
this abandoned church that had been abandoned
for about 30 years, and the local children had
smashed all the windows out. And I remember crawling in the
back window of this building. And I stood on the platform
and the Holy spirit came on me and said, "They're going to
come from 100 mile radius "to this church, and there won't be room to seat the people." And I remember the day when I stood there, our farthest away congregant
came from a 100 miles every Sunday morning. People came from generally at anywhere from 10 to 30 mile radius. And I remember having
to sit people outside to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. The numbers of people that came to Christ. And God also gave me another promise, He told me "One day I
would revisit that church, "and there would be crowds
so thick coming there "that they would be outside
as far as I could see "in the school yard, through the window." That hasn't happened yet,
but that was another whisper that God put into my
heart someday, somewhere. See, I'm under no obligation
to make it happen, but I am obliged to believe
it if God's speaking it. Thy word, have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against you. That I might not miss the mark of my life. That I might might not fall short of how you could glorify
yourself through my life. Thy word, I've taken, I've
hidden it in this clay jar. And even though for a season, it looks like nothing has happened, and for season it might
look like the enemy is even winning the battle. I choose to believe you
above all things, oh God. "When the spirit of truth has come, "he will guide you into all truth. "He will not speak of His own authority, "but whatever He hears He will speak "and He will tell you things to come." So my question tonight is what is God telling you about your future. I know what Babylon's trying to tell you. I know what you're fearful family and neighbors are trying to tell you, but that's not the question tonight. What is God telling you? Have you even asked Him
what your future is? Have you dared to believe the whispers of God into your heart? Because He really is there, the Holy spirit really is alive
inside your earthen vessel. He really does speak to you and I as the body of Jesus Christ. Have you even dared to ask, and has He told you yet
about things to come. Verse 14 says, "He will glorify me "for He will take of what is
mine and declare it to you." In other words, he will take
the victory that I won for you. He will take your captivity captive and give giftings unto you, and He will declare it to you. Verse 15 he says, "All things
that the father has are mine. "Therefore I said that
He will take of mine "and declare it to you." Now, three times, Jesus
repeats the same thing in three verses. "He will tell you things to come." Next verse, "He will declare it to you." Next verse, "He will declare it to you." He will declare it to you. Not might or should, or
maybe just the selector, the elect will hear the voice of God. No, you, He will declare it to you if you are a child of God, if the Holy spirit is in your life, God will declare to you things to come. You think about the day
of Pentecost for example, when they come out of the upper room, the scripture says, "They were speaking the megaliths of God," in the
Greek that's what they say. What it really means is they were speaking about the anticipated outcome of the new inward
life of Christ within them. In other words, they were
talking about things to come. They were prophesying, they're talking about who God is, what God is able to do and
what God is going to do. The religious crowd took a look at this, and they said, "Wow, whatever
kind of a relationship "they have with God." All of our pump and our
garments and our circumstance and our smoke and our
mirror show in the temple is not giving us this kind
of a living relationship with the living God. I say it's time that we
take that hidden word of God and bury it deep inside of our hearts. That hidden word of God, that whisper that nobody, but you knows it. Some of the things that God spoke to me as a young Christian were so preposterous, I dare not tell anybody about it, but I kept it in my heart. And I'll tell you, God has
fulfilled every word of it. It's absolutely amazing. One summer, for example,
I went and I was sitting, I have a bench I like to sit on when I do my Bible reading in
the morning and prayer time. And it's right on the edge of the ocean, and there's a huge, huge bay there. And I was sitting in my seat and I was just praying in the morning, and I looked out in the water, the sun was coming up
and the water was calm and it was glistening, there was like a there's hundreds of
thousands of these little glistenings on the water. And the Lord out of nowhere,
just spoke to me and said, "You will very shortly be
standing before an audience "as big as this bay that you see." Was only just a short time later, I was standing in Jos, Nigeria before estimated crowd of almost a half of a million people. And it looked as big as the bay I had been looking at that morning. See, these are the whispers of God. We can either embrace it, we can plant it in our heart. You see tonight, there's maybe a whisper to you Sonia, about
your daughter, Celeste. Will you let God speak
to you about her future. Will you let God be your
God, will you take that? Will you put that in an earthen vessel? And even though, even though for a season, it looks dark, the promise of God has preeminence over
everything that this world could ever throw at you. If God says it will
happen, it will happen. And He will speak to
you because that's what Jesus said He will do. And as I said earlier,
He takes very seriously His promises to you and to me. They're not just little candy things He throws out and we may
or may not embrace them. You see the whole integrity
of His name and His character is tied in with us and our believing Him, that's the way to please Him. I simply believe Him, I don't doubt Him. I know that His ways are not mine and His thoughts are not mine. I know that His thoughts
are higher than mine, as high as the heavens
are above the earth. And I thank God with all my heart, oh God, speak to me, that is my prayer now. God speak to me, guide me, lead me, don't let me lean on my own understanding. You promise me in the book of Proverbs that if I would acknowledge you, that you would direct my paths. Lord Jesus Christ let your name be glorified through my life. That needs to be the
prayer of everyone tonight. We have a promise that the
people who know their God in our day will be strong and do exploits. It's not that we will do them,
God will do them through us. Yes, we're the vessel that He will use, but He is the source of our strength. And it's based on His word that you and I will become everything that God has destined us to be. My prayer today for you is oh Lord open the ground of my heart to your promise for my life, and let me not consider
anything too hard for you. Father in Jesus name as we come to the communion table tonight, I am reminded again that you loved us so much. You so wanted a living
relationship with your creation. You so came to get us and
to bring us home that you would suffer an unspeakable
beating and rejection, and that you would shed
your blood to the last drop so that we might become partakers of not just an eternal life with you, but an abundant life as you promised here on this side of eternity. I ask you Lord Jesus
Christ to speak to those who are in physical pain tonight, speak to those who are
suffering mental anguish, speak to those who are biting their nails over a lost loved one. Speak my God to every
husband, to every wife who has lost hope for
the greatest institution on the earth apart from
your church, marriage. Speak to us God about our future. Tell us about the things that you wanna do through each of our lives. Help us to put the
clutter out of our minds so that we can hear your voice. And when we do, give us the
courage as you gave to Jeremiah to invest in your word,
hallelujah, hallelujah, to not try to save the little
that we have for ourselves, but to invest in the future. God help us to put our confidence in you, help us Lord to put everything we have into that precious promise
that you give for each life and to do what we have
to do to possess it. Thank you, Lord Jesus, that
everything you promise is true, and I feel sometimes that's the reason you sent me to New York to tell that to your
people, as simply as I can, that you are God and you are faithful and everything you
promise if we will listen, you will perform it. Lord Jesus Christ bring home our children, bring home our families,
restore our homes. My God do things Lord that only you can do in this generation. And we will give you the glory
and the honor and the praise, and we will not be silent any longer. And we will not cower in the weeds God when you are calling us to step out, and be a victorious
army in this generation. We ask you Lord to do the miraculous again and push back the darkness
of this present time. Let your church have to be
reckoned with God almighty. Let it be said, even among your enemies, God has come into the camp,
hallelujah, hallelujah. We ask you to send a trembling
through hell one more time, one more time throughout
history, let the demons tremble. My God, my God, my God, my God get a hold of your church, get a hold of your people. Help us Lord as Jeremiah did and pull our resources out
and invest in your promise. Hallelujah, glory to
God, glory, glory, glory to the name of Jesus. We praise you and we bless you God with all of our heart in Jesus name, Amen and Amen. If you could get the bread and the juice that you've gotten from your kitchen, and we're gonna come to the Lord's table and partake of it together. And let the communion table
tonight just be a reminder that this is how much God loves you. This is how much God wants to give to you. The scripture says, Paul
the Apostle wrote and said, "If God didn't withhold His son from you, "how shall He not with Him or through Him "give you all things?" In other words, Paul,
just said reason it out, if He didn't withhold His son, why would he withhold from you? Why would He not give you the victory? There was one for you through
His love on the cross. Sometimes we've just got
to bring it back to basics. Keep it real simple, and say, "God loves me,
and God has a plan for me, "and God won't let my
enemies triumph over me. "As a matter of fact, "God will use me to
triumph over my enemies. "God will use me to triumph
over other people's enemies. "God will take me in my weakness "and display His strength
and in my foolishness "display His wisdom. "And in my nothingness, "He will become everything
through my life." Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah. "I've received of the Lord
that which I delivered to you, "the Lord Jesus on the same night "in which He was betrayed took bread, "and when He'd given,
thanks, He said, take eat, "this is my body, which is broken for you, "do this in remembrance of me. "In the same manner, "He also took the cup after supper saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. "This do, as often as you
drink it in remembrance of me, "for as often as you eat this
bread and drink this cup, "you proclaim the Lord's
death until He comes." And He's coming soon. Thank you, Jesus. I don't know about you,
but I bought the deed, (chuckling) hallelujah. I bought the deed and it's
buried real deep inside of here, and nobody can take it away from me. I belong to Him and He belongs to me. I got a mansion just over the hilltop, as the old time song used to say. Love you so much remember the date, Tuesday night, Tuesday night, regular Worldwide Prayer
