Redefining Revival - Sean Smith

and as here's what I love the Prophet brings the word to a nation that is falling away from God under a king that is not exactly a great king in terms of going after God and why does God do it because of his mercy His mercies are new every morning we serve a God think about it that gave a church in Revelations that had Jezebel in the house he gave them space to repent we serve a God had there been double digit uh norm hollering Harriet had they had double digit believers in Sodom Gomorrah it could be a place we could visit to this day you'd think a God that would have that level of mercy when all of a sudden wring his hands and give up in the truth be told the issue is not how evil America or any nation is second chronicles 7:14 says if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves pray seek my face turn from their wicked ways then I will hear in their prayers heal their land forgive their sins that it's always been about you and I God's people responding so he says this time number now remember it's not just what he prophesied it's not just winny prophesied it is where he prophesied he's not a gate a place of government a place of leadership he's saying right here at this gate right because the guy says even if God throws open the floodgates of heaven this can't happen and so the prophet of God says essentially you'll see it but you won't take a part of it so in other words he's saying revival is going to happen at the same gate where remember leadership this was kind of a place of where they would try cases this is a good place where maybe perhaps those women actually pretty close to the proximity a third at the same spot of this tragedy God is saying revival is going to come to the same location where hopelessness and cynicism is hitting you in the greatest way here is this place of the Prophet prophesying it and this guy saying I don't believe it who's the King's right-hand man and then when you know what I thought you can die next to the probability of revival charging about it and actually I'm just beginning our thought with this guy but he does die at the end tragically and I wonder how many people perish when I talked about the decline in church attendance and churches shutting their doors metaphorically speaking out what a how many of us are dying at the gate where God has intended to bring revival so here's what I think what it comes down to what I think it really comes down to is this the eyes of the Lord are searching for those who will say what God is saying and embrace what God is willing to release if we will say what God is saying I remember when I was at this university and I refer back to it there's such a fun time of a ministry I was at Vinit Chico State it was in Northern California someplace between Sacramento ready and at that time is the number one party school in America I don't know how they got that but they were and as I was at this school I remember when the Lord began to speak to me about going to this school I saw CNN report and he seen a report advertised this thing called Rancho Chico days or pioneer week it was a week long riotous out-of-control party that the entire University there was a junior college over there as well junior college butte college and so there was probably in a in a region of maybe 90,000 30,000 of them were college students one of every three people so you reach the university and you reach the junior college you and in fact in fact the city so none one participant America more beer consumer alcohol per capita in that region they said than any other place in the United States at that particular time and I thought how did that become the number one party school in America often thought I pray over that how did they get there my spiritual father a guy who was part of the Jesus people movement was at Chico State and tell me stories about when Mario Murillo and we keep me and Keith Green they would come out to fields in that area tens of thousands they call it Jesus Christ festival of light and tens of thousands of people just show up no advertisement before social media it was just like Holy Spirit would just draw them kind of like Jerusalem in Acts chapter 2 when he tell me the story and I thought how did it go from this Jesus people hot spot to now the number one party school in America how do you how do you get there and I imagine is how it went someone on the line there was college students there whatever reasons maybe the initial fire of some of the Jesus people movement had waned a little bit people kind of begin to find alternatives they begin to lower their trajectory in terms of what they were believing for maybe a generation was impacted and it kind of somewhere along the line lost esteem many reasons for that but my my issue is how does it become their one particle in America students are here and previously in a more party school or in the region was you went to San Jose State that's the place to go party they're going that's too far Drive why don't you say we just get drunk here we get immoral here why should we have to get in a car do it we'll do it in fact we will do it to such an extent that people will come from other schools to where we're at now again I don't know if that was the conversation but follow me people came in agreement over a vision and as they came in agreement they touched in agreement over that vision it released a spirit over the land why will young girls go down to Mardi Gras and for 99-cent beads you could get at Walmart do something flash write it up on girls gone wild you know who videos and these college co-eds would never do that any other time in here but for one week out of the year they will go down and lose their mind because someone touched and agreed that we are going to be out of control riotous revelry and in that vision whenever people come into that atmosphere they're influenced by the initial agreement of someone that says this is what we envision this place to be I'd heard this story about Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky that they were part of the East Coast mob and they had gone to Southern California while they were coming back through the desert a place now known as Las Vegas they had a vision of where we can launder money for the mob and so somewhere along the line the pink flamingo was one of the initial kind of things but Myra Lansky and and and Bugsy Siegel came in agreement that this place is going to be a place where people are going to be able to lose their money we can launder money and now today what do we have we got Las Vegas if this is the perverted power of agreement what is the power of agreement that heaven must have intended when he said if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves what have we touched and agreed over regions in our cities in our nation and said God over our workplaces in our schools in our universities and said god we don't want any more drive-by shootings Lord we don't want this racial division god we've got to have a move of God and the thing that we're never going to turn the story the thing that became the turning point is somebody got desperate they were all desperate but somebody got desperate in the midst of desperation right you can't have a revival if you already think you're in revival the problem with prematurely calling kind of a nice meeting a revival is that you're not going to be hungry and desperate to press in for a real revival if you think a good meeting is revival now don't get me wrong I thank God for good meetings I'd like to have a whole lot more of them but what God has on his heart and what he wants to pour out on the nations of the world in his endtime harvest of bringing a radical number of people to Christ involves more than just a good meeting everybody smile with her brother this man of God prophesied can you imagine obviously the King's right-hand man is a sense saying you're crazy this isn't going to happen the king is already mad at him right and yet what comes out of his mouth in that moment is in fact the only hope and key for the entire city now hold this thought on the other side of the wall of for lepers don't you love the fact that God chooses the disregarded the disenfranchised but people that other people give up on their in a leper colony uh presumably somewhere along the line watch this these guys are part of their families but look down they see a yellowish kind of blotch on their skin all of a sudden they're kind of watching it closely during that day you'd go to the priests they would be the ones that kind of like some physicians and would declare hey you got leprosy the moment that happened right those are the words you didn't want to hear you were immediately removed from your family you're immediately at that point you had to if you can't you're on the outside of the city walls they would throw scraps to you that's how you ate or you're in leper colonies you are so contagious that your relatives couldn't come around you they couldn't in fact it was believed that you were under a curse if you were a leopard so here for lepers outside the wall and this I love this right gut man seriously somebody put this in a movie there for lepers now on a good day they might get some good scraps but if you're eating donkey brains in da booboo hello I don't think you're getting good food on the other side of that and sometimes the most glorious place to be is that it's amazing listen to me it's the amazing the clarity you get when you run out of options if you're under the illusion that we have other roads to improve our nation and improve our life hey you'll be stuck and men some and squander your energies but when you get this clarity that we have no other option we've got to help our outpouring of the Holy Ghost we've got to spin and be spit and crying out to God and saying God Lord do not forget your promise over this nation Lord do not forget your prophetic words over my region god I'm crying out to a God who is a God of covenant that you said God in your word and we need that and the older of oddness of old the unique thing about all those guys and gals is that they believed that they had revival before anyone else saw revival they believed it people that literally had interviewed and wrote biographies and of Evan Roberts of the Welsh revival that he was a teenage boy believing that he had heard from God that literally he's shaking they said he would so get a hold of heaven his bed would shake and locker wails I went there I went to Wales I went behind Moriah Chapel I was there at the guys Greg didn't do anything super weird but I was definitely praying for an impartation okay he heard the word of the Lord and God says I'm gonna give you a hundred thousand souls he comes out and he tells his kind of buddy Seth and he says hey Seth do you believe that God can give us 100 Souls and Seth didn't have the visitation but he trusted his God and he goes yeah okay if you say so the receiving of that word and him proclaiming it causes it for there to be 16 youth he got a chance at his home Church to buy his pastor to invite anyone that wanted to come together and agree for this 16 people met next door to the church in a little chapel and as they did it was history in the making of one one scholar thing was Jay Edwin or put it at 250,000 people came to Christ and a great Welsh revival and it actually should be asterisks should be placed by it because he impacted an intercessor that was praying for the Azusa Street and and there was constant correspondence that took place that litter you could connect that revival to the zoo Street revival and what were they're saying now like pretty close to 800,000 people on planet Earth have been filled with the Holy Ghost and and and pray in other languages and disbelief that have been impacted by that revival but it's all because someone got a vision they spoke it what is it that God has said to you that you're afraid to speak I felt like there's such a spirit that tries to shut down the voice of the Prophet there's such a thing that tries to shut down your prophetic voice to speak hope it's so easy to report what the news is reporting and all of a sudden kind of feel this dismal kind of sense of after a while what does the wind look like if all you believe is that you're just trying to hope that your kids stay saving I get that I'm a parent of two adults and man I pray those prayers and praying the prayers all of the above but I feel like God wants to give us so much more than survival level vision he wants to give us revival level promises for lepers right there on this side of all and they have this conversation and so ultimately they said amen if we go in the city we're gonna die that was true right there's no food in the city and if they see you and I had enough strength to pick up a rock they're probably gonna stone you if they if we stay here we die right what do you say we go over to the camp of this series and arame is and giving us a shot and see if we can get us some food I love this because again the clarity you can get when your other options but essentially this was the three options retreat remain or risk it all at the forefront of every move it requires someone that says we're not going to retreat back into whatever it is we were before we can color up the pass we could paint up the past week has been makeup on our traditions and they're good traditions that's not what I'm referring to man-made traditions you can put makeup on it but you retreat back into that it's not going to get any better you can remain where you're right you can stay comfortable you can never leave your comfort zone you can have whatever is that you're having but there's something inside of you that when you know more is available you can't settle for what is it alerts in your desire to fight for what could be so these guys right for lovers know before I was saved right y'all remember the old Michael Jackson Thriller video you remember the zombies and they're coming that was my best I have vision for lepers walking across a desert right I mean as they're walking Bob was at your finger yeah just fell off right they think they got leprosy he's eaten away the body part is falling there these tubes are marching they're not sprinting this is a Chariots of Fire this is zombie apocalypse that's what this is I love this because there's a formidable army on the other side that through this long siege has accumulated a lot of food a lot of wealth a lot of your harvests they're on the other side now listen to me my son Brandon he's now a youth pastor amongst other things he's got several different things he's a youth pastor at a church in Los Angeles expression 58 and I remember when he was in high school one of his birthdays we got him this amplification system that he wanted in his trunk and so he would play Lecrae this is Christian rapper and he at that time he would bump Lecrae I could hear him coming down the street it would be like a sonar blasts and I'd be like hey Brian is on it I was like this amp in his truck the amp in the trunk was more powerful than the engine underneath his urn okay I wonder what kind of amplification system heaven has because the Bible says this formidable army alliance of the arameans and the Syrians that as for lepers they're not marching like you I got a little bit of hard-soled shoes you can hear me right but imagine I could sneak up on you I'm walking on the sand right and if I'm not looking at my foot and I'm dragon I can really sneak up on you my point is this formidable army hears the sound of what they feel to be a confederation of armies getting together they're struck with stark raving terror these guys jump yellow Street go up there back which awawa sound exit stage left they take off running and here are four lepers just got desperate enough to say hey man we are hungry and we got to do something about this they have no idea as they're dragging across this desert that God takes the microphone of heaven can I say to you voice of the prophets that God is about to put a mic to our movement but I believe long-standing spiritual entities dark spiritual entities that upset over cities are about to hear a rumbling of an army of people that obeying God the Lord not only put a mic to their movement but think about it he amplified one single step the Lord wants to amplify one single step of obedience to release something maybe you rebuses walk across the street to witness to your neighbor I was at a Walmart last night okay there was this couple there I think they were they were American Muslim they look like they're probably middle-eastern they're getting their food and as I'm in front of a walmart supermarket I had to do a late-night run get some stuff for the trip they're having to put their milk back because they don't have enough money for the milk so they're getting meat they had a big old box at Top Ramen they had some like detergent I saw what was in their basket and the ladies were in her car and it's not registering she's running it's not racing we're there and you can hear the people behind me they're you know it's kind of like come on man get out of the way or even anger towards the woman at the counter and a spirit of the Lord spoke to me so quickly and he says how blessed you have it I shall my lord you bless me then I want you to bless them I was glad to do so I just leaned over I said hey excuse me I said hey man God has blessed me the Lord just laid you guys on my heart would be okay if I pay for your girl in fact let's get that milk and that stuff he had to put back would you get that as well and they stopped and they looked at me now again I would love to say after that and let them in the sinner's prayer we went down Romans world I got a prophetic word all that no it didn't happen but they stood there in total astonishment looking at me and the guy says to me god bless you - thank you so much and they grabbed it and I just thought that was just one single step I got in my car and I'm wet and let me explain why well because in that moment I felt that I got a chance to bless someone because God's blessed me and he's a blessing he's a God a blessing I'm fumbling of my words here I got back and I served my wife I started weeping again and I just said God we need that single step of obedience towards what God is saying now we're about to round this thing up these guys are dragging themselves across the wilderness unbeknownst to them a massive air raid sounding volumous sonic boom frightened all of the would-be detractors and these guys I met had come up to like a 80-foot salad bar food they got men crowns on her head they got gold teeth and jury they got playing I mean these lepers are living it up right and I love this because it says in the good news translation they said we're not doing right this is a day of good news convenient the good news translation says good news right this is a day of good news we're not doing right we got to go back and tell the people these four lepers that have been rejected been ostracized probably meaningful hateful things were said about them they were believed to be under a curse these four guys dragged themselves back across that same desert to let them know that you know what the Airman's are gone the siege has been broken God has fought the battle all the food you need you got right now for lepers walk back and there was such a stampede out of the gate there was a little bit of unbelief on the part of the king but there was such a stampede that came out of the gate the guard that said he didn't believe and the prophet said you'll see it but you won't partake of it he's eaded literally at that very gate tragically and in that day overnight a prophet that said expensive expensive unhhhh delectable food you're having to eat is gonna shift and now good food is gonna go for cheap within 24 hours happen just like the Prophet said but this is the final thing and I don't know if we have someone at the keys if not we're just praying in this you know what I love you guys those for lepers never heard the prophetic word that prophet release a word at a gate while they're on the other side of the wall they never heard it wouldn't broadcast it they didn't put it on Christian television they didn't put it on their YouTube channel come on somebody good evening the Prophet didn't tweet it nothing wrong with that I'm not that's not what I'm saying they became the fulfillment of a prophetic word they never even heard because when the man of God released the word that word went to work and caused a swirl of an atmosphere around guys that had no hope you thought that people inside the city had no hope and they were given in to spare these guys had even less hope they know we're gonna die no matter what but let's at least get a meal before we have to go right we're gonna have a happy meal before we have to die dad dad and I wonder how many prophetic words are swirling over us right now
