Reformation | God is Releasing a New Breed | Steven Francis

praise the name of jesus what a wonderful time that we could have right now with the word of god fellowshipping with one another no matter how far we are distance is just a matter of word because the holy spirit is in us and we are grafted into the body of christ and not only that because we are in one covenant and because there's a spirit of love honor and respect god will unite our hearts and make this word of the lord come true into each one of our hearts even though we are in quarantine time in singapore the bible says paul prayed that the burden of the churches is heavily resting on me moses said the same thing he said the burden of these people and very often and that's what i feel the burden of the church not just in the church that i'm pastoring in particular the pastors that have spoken to us about their challenges the lack of the anointing lack of faith or the mounting problems that they feel inadequate but there is one adequacy one grace that is sufficiently applied for which is the grace of our lord jesus he will never give you less than the work that he has called you to amen just remember this he will never give you less than what he has called you to the only problem is we are taking less of his grace than the amount that is allocated for us and i pray in the name of jesus that this word will encourage people around the world especially pastors kovit it seems as though it releases a spirit of coma putting your spirit a mind into a shutdown mode it creates a subconscious effect that we think we are moving yet we are not and we pray in the name of jesus that this word that the lord has given to me will become like a trumpet call into your spirit that if you are a leader of the church that you will stand together with your pastor and if you are a pastor i pray that you and the congregation you and the leaders will get into a time of prayer and seeking the mind of christ what must we do to touch our town in our city what must we do to bring the fire of god to our own people so that through us god will touch the others i pray in the name of jesus just like how when paul told timothy fan into flame the gift that god has given to you now pray in the name of jesus that you and i must fan into flame that which god has given to us god doesn't need to give you more and more and more but we need to fan into flame the fire that god has given to us you know when you go to a camping there are a few ways you can start a fire you can have a fire starter you can do that traditional way with wood and stick then there are little combustion that you gotta use a knife and you start a spark the fire starter is the most easiest in a very easy way you can buy it in a box similarly god has given to all of us a fire starter in your spirit man if you will fan it into flame that fire will start burning many of us can fan it into flame through fasting prayer worship serving together talking about god loving laughing together with the goodness of god you know the the fire will flame and i pray in the name of jesus you notice that kobet has isolated many people you can't come to church and so you tend to sit inside watch through zoom some people are prayerfully watching some people are just watching like a movie on their tv screen the reverence may not be there but i pray in the name of jesus that the power of the holy spirit will come upon you as soon as your church is able to come together don't neglect yourself coming together in the house of god and i pray the name of jesus that during this season you and i will not become the violators of god's word that we will not become the violators of the covenant that we have made before god and some people have replaced going to sunday service to something else and i pray in the name of jesus remember it is the lord's day honor the lord by coming together as soon as you can and i pray in the name of jesus that the sharing of the word of god will tear down the lies of the enemy that you and i who are called by god that me and my household we shall serve the lord amen i wanted to bring your attention to the book of ezra chapter nine one of the conversation and i want to give credit to or acknowledge i should say to our dear brother dr roberts leaden he and i were one of the speakers in moravian falls in dr david white's conference called the war of the lord while i brought the word of god what the lord wanted me to speak he also brought a word which intrigued my heart during these times that we are all going through we are wondering what kind of revival is that going to take place some churches around the world in some countries where economically they are going through hardships or they are going through persecutions because of the gospel third world countries where in some countries there are extreme of a certain religion or there are certain sects of group which are against the gospel of god you see people of god there has learned how to thrive but then on the opposite side there are people who have always been blessed and we live in the city everything is given to us like singapore and many other cities around the world convenient is just that good we and some of us were born after the world war ii while the world is climbing upward and escalating upward to progress for example for singapore that he became from third world to a first world city and we grew up with conveniences and suddenly when the challenge is set upon us even in america when the challenge is set upon us will we know how to thrive in the spirit the people of the book of acts the first early church christians they had no problem growing under persecution the churches in china africa in some other countries where people are persecuted for the sake of the gospel for them to grow in the midst of persecution is not a problem but i pray for those of us in the city that we should fend into flame let the passion of god burn in our hearts and pray that let's take advantage of this season kobet could be a loss to this world and sadly more than a million people have died around the world is one of a simple fever viva virus that has become deadly to many and our hearts go to them it also reveals the mismanagement of many nations health people and it keeps on spreading we thank god for the governments of many countries that is working hard to put the nation into a safe mode but you know my brothers and sisters sometimes being safe and overprotective can bring about a certain snare to our soul and to our spirit and i want to bring you that attention so dr robert sladen spoke about a revival that came during the time of ezra and my spirit caught that so powerfully and i thought this would be the word that i want to share with you and put together certain things and i did mention to some of the church leaders that the lord put certain things in my heart during this covet season that we are to regroup retrain refocus everything about re that includes revival and i want to bring you that attention to the book of ezra chapter 9 and verse 9 where during this time of challenges god called a man called israel and he was not just any other ordinary man it's almost like a scholar he's like the professor who's educated in the interpreting and speaking the law of god and the bible says ezra chapter 9 verse 9 for we are slaves now he was praying and crying out to god there was sin in the camp there were certain things that has mixed against the law of god and i want to talk about that matter to you even now you see that is why it is important that during these times that we are not violators of god's word and i want to tell you and share with you why does god think so that way he said and then so there is a prayer of repentance and then he prays for we are slaves yet our god has not forsaken us in our slavery but has extended to us his steadfast love before the kings of persia to grant us some reviving to set up the house of our god to repair its ruins and to give us protection in judea and in jerusalem look at that for god has extended his steadfast love for us so that he will grant us some reviving the word god will set us some reviving simply means that god will pour his spirit amongst us revive us again to do something you know in the people of jerusalem for the jews the house of god is the center piece of their life god had more than nine months of different types of feasts and celebrations that every time god will call his people to come to the house of god whenever a nation is restored one of the first things they do is to restore the house of god why you see when the house of god is restored every part of your life economy and the society and heavens above earth beneath will start being blessed amen and that is why the bible says when god opens the heavens he will cause the rain to come upon the earth and the earth will yield its blessing to people and that is why even in many nations when people are dependent on the farming community when there is no rain people start to pray because they know when the nation will repent and call upon god god will forgive their sins and heal their land did you see that heal their land so my brothers and sisters first of all we have to remember the nations of the world is in the hands of god no one holds this country no one owns this country it is god it is god it is god we pray for the nations of the world even recently all the challenges in uh united states of america and the election and all of that that is going on it has knocked down many people's faith and i pray in the name of jesus that we call upon god's mercy god's wisdom god's strength to do what god thinks it is right amen and we pray in jesus name now let's get back to the word of god for god has not forsaken us in our slavery now i don't know how you think about it since the month of february slowly down to the month of march right to now the world has faced some form quote unquote like a slavery in the context of prevention more new laws has been imposed safe distancing which is good putting on the mask and not only that a psychological fear that has come that has created this virus more bigger than a dinosaur that has come to destroy in many sense it is true but remember years ago the lord showed us more viruses will be coming it will be spreading through the waters and that's what when i was taken up in the spirit one day i was brought into a river and my eyes was looking at the waters of the river a new virus like a sunflower it was on the water and it was just floating away and the river went into the ocean and it began to spread all over and i was asking the lord he said new viruses will be released that the world has never seen before and the world has never known before and there were no antidote before all vaccine and this is one of those and there are many more that will come according to the word of the lord in the book of revelation we pray in jesus name that you will not be discouraged then you will take it to strike to build your faith this is a time not to show who you are but it is a time where god is going to show who he is so in a sense it is almost like you cannot come out you must stay in you cannot go here you cannot go there and then when you go this is all you can do and for many months people even in the church could not gather shops are closed salary is given to you people have lost their jobs and so on and so on and so on millions of dollars have been lost and so on and so forth but to many who do not have any forms of livelihood it has almost become a time of slavery for smaller churches whose faith is dependent upon the community fellowship today we are blessed that we have many technology that we can still connect to but not many churches have that privilege there are many churches and pastors who are not economically well to do or sufficiently provided for they go through these forms of struggle and our hearts are going out to many of them so in this time of slavery has god forsaken us no the bible says god has not forsaken us in fact what he has done he has extended to us his steadfast love amen god has extended to us his steadfast love before the kings of persia who are the kings of persia or all the governments that's happening that god will grunt us and this is our heart cry then the myths when the churches are closing down that you shouldn't come together you shouldn't worship my brothers and my sisters that they could stop us or anyone for the matter of fact can stop us from coming together but can they stop us from praying can they stop us from worshiping you know instead of a thousand people coming together and in focus in one place where the fire is burning now there are fires burning in a thousand houses hallelujah which god always wanted to get it done it is being happening now so what has happened every house has become a household of faith every house has been carrying the fire of the altar of god every house is now praying every household is praying together as a family husbands are praying together fathers are leading the family and i pray in the name of jesus whatever the enemy has planned god will turn it around in jesus name and that's what the bible says here that god is extended to us his steadfast love before the public before the government god will show an exceptional love that is upon the house of god and when is that going to happen when you and i have the courage to follow jesus when you and i have the courage to do what god wants us to do now is not a time to be hiding inside our room but to extend our faith our prayer and if you are anointed with the gifts of healing then look out for people who are sick it's not a time depose how anointed you are but it's a time to serve and to show how much you love god and how much god can send you forth in jesus name amen the bible says god has grown to us extended to us a steadfast love and look at what he said to grant us some reviving to set up the house of god remember when god warned the church of ephesus that you have lost your first priority your first love proton simply means the order of priority some people they do have god in their life they do have service they do have the church life in their heart but what happens is it goes down to the other priority it's no longer the first god is wanting to know whether your first love for jesus has shifted that's all that matters now you don't have to explain that i've got these you know pastor try to understand that and i'm sure god will understand and everybody will say i'm sure god will understand what he says i will not have you thought about that before god is not a man god loves us absolutely but there are certain orderliness in the house of god god will not force you to love him god will not force you to serve him but when we do it out of a love that we have for our hearts making sure that whenever that we are stacking up every other issue that is challenging us that we will not lose the order of priority because jesus asks have you lost your first love first the love that you have for god must always be number one there is no other equal to it some people have lost it they have placed other things equal and you know they will have to go to job they have to attend to their family they have to bring their kids to the sports but the only thing they will tend to compromise all the time while church i don't have to pastor will understand if i don't come and and so on so the order priorities just keep on going floating down then it's uh people say but i'm praying in church listen when you love god you will love the house of god it is something that i cannot understand how can people even shift uh i've not understand and i don't think so i wish to because i saw in the book of acts god bringing his people back into the house we saw the book of acts and in the in every way throughout it's a it's a theology that has spread throughout the bible about the importance of the house of god and i pray in the name of jesus that god will touch your hearts as well you know there is must be a sense of loyalty in the sense of honor when we miss the house of god knowing that you're not missing because some men you are reporting to you are also reporting to god so i wanted to think about this for a minute so we pray that god will grant us some reviving to set up the house of god oh hallelujah my spirit jumps when i read you see that god will give us a revival so that we will set up the house of god again many churches have been closed down for too long many people have kind of laissez faire attitude for too long i pray in the name of jesus a new anointing will come upon you that you will set up the house of god and what happens to repair its ruins prepared to ruin simply means vente and if you see any wet during this time now is the time to repair the area that needs to be repaired this is a good time to see what works and what does not work and i pray in the name of jesus that god will pour a new spirit and a new anointing upon your life and then look at that not only that when we do all those things you know what god will do the next he will give us protection hallelujah he will give us that protection and that's the challenge that i want to encourage you there is a certain spread in this book of ezra and i pray in jesus name that in the coming days that we're going to explore it together you know one of the problems that ezra was praying and repenting before god is this when the people of god begin to mix around god told through moses that you shall not marry people outside the covenant of god but more and more when the canaanites came to live by and the hittites came to live by the perizzites the jebusites the ammonites and the moabites the egyptians and the amorites all of them came to live by and there was a you know inter friendship that was taking place and then the bible says that the people of the land that they began to the people of israel if you look at ezra chapter 1 chapter 9 and verse 1 after these things had been done the officials approached me which is ezra and the people of israel and the priests listen carefully the people of israel and the priests and the levites have not separated themselves from the people of the land with their abomination so it's the people of israel the priests the levites you see how when we start compromising as a nation it flows into the house of god it will start infecting consecrated people the levites for our conversation for those who are serving those who are in some kind of service see the moment you said you will serve god you have consecrated your life before god you become a levite the bible says we all are priests and kings unto god and the only thing about this is we only use the scripture when you want to claim authority when you want to bind a demon or when you want to pray for something that you want and then you'll start claiming all these rights and you forgot as much as you claim there are also certain moral and spiritual responsibility of covenant people you just simply cannot walk away knowing that you are under god's covenant there are many little children in the kingdom of god and god is very forgiving and i pray in the name of jesus if during these times that you have overlooked your commitment to jesus come back you see here you see a threefold compromise that has taken place all have been falling behind because they have forgotten about the importance of consecration about their covenant they are forgotten about the house of god and so ezra began to pray and so far number one is intermarriage can i say the word intermarriage that we for for the understanding that we have in this um uh context of sharing could be to a point that we just lose the importance of serving and then we intermarry all kinds of importance or idolatry of any kind you see my brothers and sisters if you love your job more than god that's a form of idolatry if you love your family more than god that's a form of idolatry if you love yourself more than god isn't that i as an adult idolatry jesus said this uh paul said it's no longer i that liveth i live by faith of the faith of the son of god i have been crucified you cannot have jesus and i living on the throne side by side no way you can't it is the consecrated self and that's the beauty of heaven the bible says that god will give you a crown and the servants of god and the prophets they will be also judging the nations you have the 24 elders who sit on some kind of a throne with their crowns but when the angels declare holy holy and holy they cast their crown under the floor and they bow before god and worship now this is the beauty of submission and honor even though you are kings and priests before god and the bible says that they cause you to come and sit by your right hand in other words that that is a such a close fellowship and relationship yet when the mention of jesus's name you will know how to cast your crown before him knowing that as much as you are the son of the lord son of god daughter of jesus you are still under the lordship of christ you are still under the kingship we are his subjects hallelujah we got to keep in mind now pray in the name of jesus first the problem they had was the intermarriage that was one then in verse two very interestingly they have taken some of their daughters to be wives for themselves and for their sons so that the holy race has mixed itself with the people of the land they are no longer wholly set apart race they have become intermingled therefore they are no longer holy now remember you and i are sanctified and set apart during these times if you tend to talk more like the world if you tend to worry like the world if you tend to sing like the world then the midst of the pandemic that is going on faith is no longer found in your mouth god is no longer found in your heart and we pray in the name of jesus that the presence and the grace of god comes over you you got to keep in mind that the lord is working through in your heart in the mighty name of jesus amen god wants to work through god wants to work through are you consecrated i wish that i could say now we are holiday but we are not no matter where we are we are on call for jesus you know why because we are consecrated to god wherever we are we are we carry the anointing wherever we are we are the ambassadors our time is in the hands of god in other words he has the time he has the power and i love jesus enough for him to cancel my appointments and tell him what i should do i don't have to tell god regardless of how close i am with jesus the moment you order the house of the lord in which you have been covenanted you need to honor that and god is a understanding is important for us we got to teach our children our family the importance of honoring the house of god so that we will not mix the rays so what the enemy is doing today as it happened in the beginning to corrupt the nations of the world where the demons came down the fallen angels came down and they intermarry with the human race to bring about a corruption so that the purity of the people will not be there anymore there will be a corruption that will come and that's exactly it is happening again that people will lose their sense of god they will intermarry quote unquote somo to a point that they are no longer levites before god they are no longer pure before god there is such a mix to a point that it creates or releases god's agony or even judgments to a point that we celebrate today it is okay to marry the same gender it is okay to live a lifestyle that is so absolutely loose in fact we are to celebrate it is okay that we look up to people who live such lifestyle and we think that's all good and if we preach about it we are wrong if the church says something about it then the pastors are wrong so the enemy has been bringing about such intermarry that the levites are no longer levites the impurity is coming to such a point just like in the days of ezra that the holy race has mixed itself with abomination now pray in jesus name that through the blood of the lamb that we will once again consecrate ourselves to the call that god has called us to leave keeping in mind that we are set apart by the lord and that is a third problem look at that and that's interesting here in the same verse 2 and the fatelessness of the people the faithlessness of the people that surprises me in this that means in what they have done in this the faithlessness the hand in this the faithlessness the hand of the officials and the chief men has been foremost as soon as i heard this i tore my garment which is ezra my cloak and pulled hair from my head and beard and set apart then all who tremble at the words of the god of israel because of the faithlessness of the return exiles gathered around me now two times the word faithlessness is mentioned if you notice the word faithlessness does not necessarily mean they have lost their faith here the faithlessness is related to to the disobedience to the covenant which god made with israel through moses and to their obedience in other words physical actions when your physical actions doesn't resemble or in alignment with the obedience to god's covenant that equals to faithlessness did you see that so people say well i'm not doing anything i'm still faithful you can say what you want to say but let god be the judge because when every man becomes the judge so then here we can judge ezra well i'm not faithless how come you think i'm faithless but here god is saying they were faithless based on their action when your action doesn't correspond to your covenant and over time it creates a mixed race to the purity that is no longer you're no longer living according to the level of consecration that you have prayed or the anointing that is given to you or the word of the lord has been spoken to you when you are no longer living to that level it just produces more and more faithlessness so i want to remind ourselves in jesus name that we will stir our hearts up i wanted to pay attention to another thing in this passage very interestingly if i will give a title for this message you know i i didn't this is what i want to get up and get set it's almost like standing on the 100 meter dash race set get up and get set ready to go look at chapter 4 of the book of ezra the book of ezra chapter 4 when ezra was called by god to build the house of god and of course you take some time to read we just go to verse 4 then the people of the land discourage the people of judah made them afraid to build and bribe counsellors against them to frustrate their purpose all the days of cyrus king of persia even until the reign of darius king of persia now you see the four different types of problems that came and it's possible to even come now and that is why my brothers and sisters unless we pray in the name of jesus and pull down these lying demonic strongholds pull down these principalities that is using covet and stealth mode coming through into the church using kovit to operate secretly if we don't realize that if you tend to soften yourself to a point to a point that you are no longer effective jesus reminded us when the salt loses its saltiness it is no longer any more worth now pray in the name of jesus you do not lose your saltiness we are the salt and we are the light four different type of things that the enemy will try to do to discourage us number one discouragement number two make them afraid to build and this is exactly what's going to happen happening now people are just afraid to go to church even if they're allowed to go they're afraid to go isn't it isn't it what exactly the enemy wants you to do be afraid just be afraid my question is we have to be sensible we have to be wise we have to be responsible and social distancing so and so forth we but we shouldn't be afraid you you understand i'm saying you shouldn't let the world bring fear into your heart and you know what fearful people make others fearful and whoever have the courage to stand up they think something is wrong with them instead of thinking where is my faith where is my faith and people think they are so wise because they have the world's philosophy and they think they are aligning themselves to the world but remember the moment as a people of god you align yourself with the world you are out of alignment with god and the bible says the friendship of the world is an enmity with god i wanted to pick a choice where do you stand are you still standing as the people of god or are you mixing to such a point you're no longer the holy race that god has called us to the moment the holyness of god is no longer found the anointing is no longer active that means the authority of god is absent it opens a door for the enemy to come and to steal kill and destroy and i pray in the name of jesus that god will give us the strength to build up the house and look at that and they bribe the councillors and this is exactly what's going to happen even in this end time listen now it's all the rich nations of the world are going to be the first one to have the kovit vaccine by the first quarter singapore will have by the first quarter many of the rich countries are going to have the rich countries that have given enough money they're going to have the first one then over time bribery will come as the thing goes down people will be bright you know the enemy can bribe you by giving you the wealth of the world that you're no longer interested to go back to the house of god some people one guy just told me the other day you know what i found a job and i could make more money within the two hours going to church i'll make more money so why go to church i can listen to god's sermon while i'm working isn't that smart you find something to do and you excuse yourself by saying god is everywhere my brother and sister not only is a sin for you to say what you're saying but it's a sin when you stumble others with your rebellion and so i pray in the name of jesus if you are coming to a point where you are no longer honoring the house of god and the covenant that god has made with his people regardless of what you are trying to tell to yourself or to others god will meet you in this time i want you to remind yourself because here the bible says they made them to be afraid to build and they bribe councillors against them it is very easy even if a government want to bring the people under control the religious leaders under control all that they have to do is to hold back the vaccine and keep telling you there is no vaccine listen my brothers and sisters we will trust in the name of our lord jesus christ amen god is your strength and god is your counselor and then the fourth thing that will happen is to frustrate their purpose the bible says when people lose vision they will go they will miss their direction and that's what has happened when you lose the vision right now some churches have lost it some pastors have become discouraged some have closed churches and they left and many things are going on right now and there is a lot of frustration in their purposes are we in the right place did god tell us to do what we are to do if god is there why and some people are so good in asking why question not just to stumble themselves but to stumble everybody and i pray in the name of jesus every lying thong will stop in jesus name every confusing things will stop in jesus name every lies of the devil that is coming through even trusted people will be rebuked in jesus name you know when when peter as close as he could be to jesus as the love that he carried for jesus when he came and spoke to jesus why are you going to the cross you know what jesus he never even hesitated for a moment he said get thee behind me satan so today i speak in the name of jesus if you are thinking more of the things of the world rather than the things of god you too will receive the same rebuke get thee behind the house of god in the name of jesus get the behind satan that is speaking through you in the name of jesus you know what pete jesus said to peter you mind the things of man and not the things of god i pray in jesus name that we will call ourselves together mind the things of heaven during these times what can god do if you are under attack your church your family because of kobe under attack where these four things have come to pass discouragement of freight to go and serve or to build some kind of bribery that the enemy is causing well money is coming so why worry or frustration that is coming about the church about leadership about these about that get out of the flesh in jesus name and get into god hallelujah get yourself into god so that the power of the holy spirit can flow into you if you look at another passage of the book of ezra chapter 5 verse 2 then zerubbabel and i i i love this scripture and zerubbabel the son of shaltil and joshua the son of jose deck arose began to rebuild the house of god that is in jerusalem and the prophets of god were with them supporting them amen what a powerful work of the holy spirit that they are working together what a powerful way of prophets are not just prophesying or building their own ministry but they are working together with the priests and the leadership to build the house of god and listen if i will tell you honestly this is what i am looking for i am looking for prophets who will come in with the wisdom that god has given to them and build the house of god that god will speak to them to be connected in relationship in covenant with pastors that they will build the house of god but today many full-timers and many guys on the full-time ministry if they are not preaching in a church on a sunday they don't even go to church they don't have a church to call them a church or they don't even call someone as their pastor and that's the problem the root of rebellion you see the moment you are not part of the body of christ i i wonder why anyone should invite that person to come and speak because the entire the end times matters are changing in the end times there's it's it's a time where the spirit of god is coming to bring about a synergy of anointing synergy of leadership synergy of god's gifts and grace that we will build the house of god to stand strong during times of storm during the times of testing and i pray in the name of jesus that god will do now who are these men the bible says that these men are nothing if you look at come look at chapter 6 chapter 6 and verse 14 and the elders of the jews built and prospered through the prophesying of haggai the prophet and zechariah the son of edo and they finished their building did you see that so who are the prophets haggai and zechariah they too are the prophets who built together the house of god and one of the things that i i love this is again uh robert's land mentioned about that he said when you think of october 31 what do you think and everybody said well it's halloween but the truth is not it's not just halloween it's the day of reformation it's a day that you must remember that martin luther uh uh he put up the thesis uh in the at the catholic church you know he nailed it up and that became the day of reformation and it's not a surprise what the devil has done instead of the people of god remembering the day of reformation another celebration came into being in everybody only could remember october 31 is halloween but you see you and i are the people of god what you should remember is the day when the protestant movement was bur was born in the face of the history of the church and i pray in the name of jesus with all these things that is going on there will be another spiritual protest there will be another spiritual reformation there will be another spiritual revival that will take place across the face of the earth that the body of christ will come alive that the sons and daughters of the spirit who are being held by religious people who are being helped by the spirit of pharisee will be being held by the spirit of religion they will be released in jesus name and i pray that you and i will be the house that can facilitate the growth that you and i will be used by god and the church will become like a nursery that we can grow up the sons and daughters raise them up to become the end time warriors and the end time army for the grace of our lord jesus christ amen that the church will become the incubator and not the cemetery it will become an incubator not a mortuary we will not keep dead people ice cold and preserve them but it will become the intensive care unit that people who are in the verge of dying out in their faith that god will resuscitate them with the fires of the holy spirit with the extra oxygen from heaven and that is called revival that is called reviving and i pray in the name of jesus that the spirit of death that has spoken over the churches will be rebuked in jesus name that the church will be the house of god's power house of god's healing house of god's praise and house of god's holiness that when people walk into the church the fear of the lord will be felt hallelujah that we will not be so afraid for kobe dog safe distancing but we will fear the name of the lord our god hallelujah i pray in the name of jesus we pray that god will give us trusted prophets during this time to direct us to have to work in partnership you know one of the things that the listen if you are a prophet listen carefully the problem is some prophets we prophesy but we don't care to listen you know i've spoken to many prophets you know what happens the prophet won't listen to another prophet because he is prophesying but that is not true of the bible that's not the true spirit and the nature some are full of the anointing but their nature is still not transformed by the power of god the fruit when the fruit of love is missing you will not care to listen to another prophet or another pastor or another person causing the word of god you know what happened here keep in mind ezra was saying they are under slavery the people of god are under slavery you know who includes it includes the prophets they are also slaves they are all under slavery and while they were prophesying the word of the lord the prophets went and helped to build the house of god now how they could have built they could have built with their physical hands with hard work they could have built with direction leadership whichever way they are not statically saying come on give me the money i said it or looking for fame i am the one who prophesied or looking for attention you know who said it first or instead they put their hands dirty on the soil not only you will prophesy you have the responsibility to act in obedience what you yourself have prophesied now that is the mark of the humility of a prophet an apostle in these end times that is no pedestal anointing you got to do what jesus did jesus walked among the cities he walked among the streets he meant everybody he touched everybody he did not use the 12 disciples as his slave he treated them as his friends and his brothers and he ministered together and walked together with them are you with me and please my brothers and sisters this is the time to watch out for who is asking you more money to be treated like a kin and making you like a slave it is time to set yourself free look out for whom god is raising now this is the word which the lord placed in my heart during this time listen carefully prophetic dimension or seer capabilities does not negate the challenge and practicalities of building the house of god can i repeat that for you prophetic dimension all those who have seer capabilities they do not or they are not exempted to negate the challenges and the practicalities of building the house of god in other words if your people are there building the house you should be there building it not just sitting in your own pedestal and talking about the end time and you do not even move a finger to do something about it are you with me and that's why i pray in the name of jesus this will be a wake up call that you will not be isolated during this time that we will come together and build the house of god i pray there will be a strong rebuke and conviction that will come in isolated ministries and men you know there are different kinds of preachers some itinerarians are sent with a burden of the lord they bring their anointing to build the house of god you know what the others do some of these guys they are there just to look after their own families and their own ministry they are not connected they come they do one big one round get the money and then they are out of the circuit then it is just the same message over and over again there is no fresh anointing and god gives them the grace of god my brothers and sisters during this time you and i are responsible for the grace that is given to us even if we have given only one grace we are responsible to multiply and the bible says we are to build the house of the lord you know one of the things why ezra was different from the others i want to show you in chapter 7 of ezra verse 6 and ezra went up from babylonia he was a scribe skilled in the law of moses that the lord the god of israel had given and the king granted him all that he asked for the hand of the lord his god was on him did you see that why ezra stood up from everybody else because the hand of god was upon him he became skilled in the law of moses and that is what today we need we need men and women we need a leadership team whose skill in the word of god who is skill in serving god who is skilled in building the house of the lord so that when they are skillful god can release grace and responsibility and everybody knows that the hand of the lord is resting upon you and i encourage you come back and put on the garments of salvation take on the callings that god has given to you so that god can do something new in all of our lives amen let me close with these thoughts during these times now i'm going to take some moments in the coming weeks to prepare to spread to think about what are the lessons that we have learned in kobit and i said this in the month of march that i'm going to think through this whole process to see to feel it to go through it and to say okay this is what we should do one of the things that we have to keep reminding ourselves today i don't have time to talk about remember the day i shared with you a couple of months ago that the lord came upon me the spirit of the lord told me that we should prepare the way and then what is the next wave that is going to happen and what's the anointing of john the baptist where the spirit of god is going to release a prophetic anointing and what does that mean prophetic anointing doesn't mean you go around like a loose cannons demonstrating your gift without a relationship listen you don't have to hear a word from the lord from anyone that is not related to the house of god because are you satisfied you are you accountable to anyone can i check your name with someone that are you legit do you demonstrate some fruit is your heart bigger than your mouth there must be some kind of reference points there must be even at least your pastor must be able to validate that you are who you are that you are a child of god so that your gift and your grace is validated are you with me so if if there are some lessons that i can put together number one back to basics grow and cultivate not only the essentials of faith that's what i originally call it but i think i need to emphasize this word not just the essentials of faith but the credentials of faith hallelujah anybody who comes and talks to you with authority when they come to your house if they are a policeman they show their credential if they are from the income tax department or if they are representing a company because they have no rights to come there and speak to you you see and if they demand your time and they knock upon your door and if they carry a batch of authority they are going to show you their credentials so i pray in the name of jesus during the time when the world is lacking faith the people of god will show their credentials so there must be some credentials of faith not just essentials for some it could be so essential in other words that's a basic life form for those who are living by the covenant it becomes your credential say that with me credentials of faith i think i like the title what do you think if you could remember the credentials of faith don't forget the the back to basics disciplines prayer study of the word faith not only that god will answer your prayers or give you some chocolates that god is a god of healing that god is your provider i'm talking about serious stuff now are you with me come on please don't just pray that god will give you a handbag or god will help you to buy a shoe now it's time to believe that god is a god who is the healer of all diseases in jesus name that no weapons of the warped can touch you that god will heal and anything that touches you will die in the name of jesus hallelujah and then god will show that you nee you and i need to leave by obedience to the great i am the essentials of faith show your life out of worship you see when we pray we are connected to god when we study god's word you know what god wants you to do when you have faith it is a potential anointing of healing and providence and when you are having obedience then you are able to fulfill the great commission and when we worship god then a spirit of contentment is released inside you are able to wait and see what god is about to do and the second thing to remember after growing into the credentials of faith is to focus and master discipleship today there is a breakdown of larger gatherings it requires small group leaders to function and exactly that is what happening right now look at uh even in ezra chapter 7 verse 27 blessed be the lord the god of our fathers who put such a thing in this into the heart of the king to beautify the house of the lord that is in jerusalem and who extended to me his steadfast love before the king and his counselors and before all the kings and mighty officers i took courage for the hand of the lord my god was on me and i gathered leading men from israel to go up with me do you see that you see during the times of kobe when we master on discipleship and leadership we are able to gather even into small groups and serve the lord god so it is important to have leadership training processes and if you are called by god as a leader stand up and start serving it is not time to hide you see you and i who have received the grace of god we are responsible when you hide your gift and i tell you what my brothers and sisters god will fulfill every word he said he would do in other words when he says he will judge he would when he said he will take that seriously that means he would so i wanted to think about that the third thing that we want to remember during the times of kobet and i call this the grace for one another it's not something that you keep it to yourself it's anointing that you must carry to have grace for one another i wish that i could take time to look at the scriptures but this aspect of it is so important that i want to take one session one certain time just to talk about this that when the anointing of god is given it is to given to you and i that we can be a blessing to one another and the last thing that i want to remind us in ezra chapter 6 verse 14 and uh that surprises me look at that in ezra chapter 6 verse 14 and the elders of the jews built and prospered through the prophesying of haggai the prophet and zechariah the son of edo and they finished their building did you see that as they focus in doing what god told them to do and when they had the partnership of the prophets they prospered and the fourth thing that i want to remind us is that we must prosper to finish the building are you with me people will lose their jobs they are going to lose their investments and their index margin or stock market may come down nevertheless god will prosper you god will give you your stock god will give you your veggies god will bless your flock and god will bless your garden and god will supernaturally give you the increase you will prosper in the name of jesus you will not suffer like the other people you will be the hit and not the tale you'll be above and not beneath in your going in and you're coming you'll be blessed and you're sitting and you're standing you will be blessed god will cause the son of righteousness to shine upon you and he will mount with healings on his wings just to be all over you hallelujah have that faith that god will bless you to prosper you and i want to talk about more and more all these things in the coming week how god can turn around churches situations and when the churches are turned around the nations will be blessed and i pray in jesus name that when we have put our hands to the plow don't take it back now it's your turn to do what god wants you to do amen let us pray that god's anointing will come and bring the same conviction that it is burning in my soul it will come to you and god will use us for his glory in jesus name father i want to thank you for all those who are watching right now i pray the anointing of the holy spirit will come upon the churches in jesus name lord i pray angels will be dispatched to bring about the conviction of god's word in jesus name is some people need a slap to wake up just just do it with such a love that they will know this is god's slap because the bible says whomsoever god loves he will discipline them like a father would discipline their children so father in jesus name i released the trumpet call to wick the churches up i released the trumpet call to strengthen the hands of the men of god and their leadership in jesus name that the spirit of unity will come and a new revival will come upon us oh god grant us the extension of your mercy and your love that you will release the anointing to revive us that we will build your house like your word when we built your house you will build ours and i want to thank you and honor you for this moment we praise you father in jesus name amen god bless you i want to thank the lord for this opportunity in the coming weeks we are going to discover a lot more through god's word remember god's word is powerful i pray that you will have first priority of god's word when you see it in the god's word then you will do it no matter what it takes amen may the blessings of the father rest upon you and your family and upon our children till we meet in christ jesus amen
