the church said well come on would you help me welcome allen hood as he comes tonight [Music] thank you so much paul you can have a seat you all been standing for four days straight you're gonna stand for another five more here soon it's gonna be glorious i just wanted to say something before my beautiful wife comes up and prays for me and so uh that's your heads up baby so come on up and um but i wanted you to i wanted to say something and the worship team can stop now thank you so much [Music] i feel so good in trusting my son to this city knowing that you guys are here i mean that when you entrust your son to a city you know the first thing rachel and i pray about is oh god where are the people of god where are they on fire people of god so when my son came out of the blue and said i'm dad i want to go to gcu i went yes [Laughter] i said yes because that atmosphere is covered so to speak there's a covering there's guardians there's watchmen and women on the wall watching over this city you know pushing back you know it said all that it takes for evil to take root in a city is for good people to do nothing well that's not happening in this city there's that vigilance pushed back against iniquity and it so blesses me i am so i will sleep better knowing my son every time he lays down that the bowls of prayer are full over this city woe to the city whose fathers have not filled the bowls of prayer for the next generation woe to that city but blessed is the next generation whose fathers and moms filled the bowls of prayer over that city that generational blessing for every altar that abraham built his children and grandchildren and great-great-great-great-grandchildren had encounters in those very cities where abraham built that altar why why did jacob lay down at bethel and heaven open because right there in bethel and i abraham built an altar a grandfather took his stand for the next generation intercession is as much about the next generation as it is for the now breakthrough here's why because prayers never die [Applause] buildings will be destroyed people will die leadership will transition but those bulls hold the prayers of the saints forever and they translate to other generations the prayers you prayed tonight can break in on phoenix 50 years from now and open the heavens and a little bitty church by the wayside gets a visitation you've got to understand that prayer is the uh your words last before the throne of god they're the currency of heaven we could talk about this for a long time but corey already talked about that on friday night and if you were here the spirit of prayer was marking and i was looking over at those young boys i tell you what the spirit of prayer was marking them over here and i kept hearing inheritance the next generation i remember as a young man when when mike bickle preached on prayer and called us he said we've got a lot of preachers that are mimicking but god wants a voice a voice crying in the wilderness and the preparation is prayer do you want to be an echo or do you want to be a voice and i remember as a young 20-something-year-old sitting in the way up in the nosebleed section of the stadium and i just went i want to be a voice and i walked down as he was preaching he was halfway into a sermon and i just walked down to the altar and sat in front right there in front of everyone why because i wanted whatever that man had just preached on i wanted it and i remember i just had that same feeling when corey was sharing the deepest thing of his heart about his son in the ministry of intercession with him i had that feeling that god was marking young people that night and that young people hey and all you're going after go after the spirit of prayer everything else will follow anointing prosperity blessing perseverance to suffer i don't know why i just felt like saying that before we go into the other thing but corey began this with that marking for the spirit of prayer and i wish i could talk on that tonight that's what i live for i can't live outside of people of prayer i won't live in compromise i won't be a part of that it's burnout and comp it's just compromise it's backsliddenness when the corporate body doesn't pray it's disobedience it's not what jesus died for but i actually wanted to say an encouragement before rachel prays for me and we jump into the topic that the holy spirit told me to preach on i want us to pray for the leaders of this church and the worship teams because i know a little bit just a little bit what it means to labor and serve the spirit breaking out in revival i would lead it from monday all the way to thursday and we would minister six hours a night six to twelve i wouldn't get home till sometimes one thirty two o'clock most of the time four nights a week we then had church on sunday we had two days to rest and get ready again and it was a healing a move of deliverance like last night deliverance and then healing predominantly there were people saved we had 1500 baptisms and there was a burden a travail for souls but it wasn't brownsville brownsville was souls i mean i got saved every time i went in i thought i'd never known jesus every night i literally went to the altar repented as if i was born again again when i went to toronto i mean i i've experienced the father's love every time every time every time and when god sends a move of his spirit he puts his stamp his signature of his manifest wisdom that he wants to restore in the church as a whole and he's entrusted you all things and even pastor kim was telling me about her book and the six things i think it's six things that he's entrusted that are keys for this and this will have a certain deposit and god doesn't want you to move away from that deposit that's his deposit that's the blessing for the entire earth brownsville has blessed every church on the earth that received it for souls steve hill thank you god for that man of god put that in us at such a deep level toronto put in on the fathers on father's day the father's day revival renewal broke in with the father's love isn't that the sweetest thing you've ever heard he's deposited something here but here's i'm going to get to the point i remember what it was like laboring for six hours a night and the holy spirit wouldn't show up in power until 10 30. there would be miracles but the most dramatic miracles when most of the people left the building and just the hungry ones were there the desperate ones most of the others left the building and now i mean just when we thought okay it's a boom power would hit the room and the next thing you know that's when the terminal illnesses got healed or the eyes popped open or the ears popped open or the rods that were in a pastor's back for 40 years just somehow got flexible and she got freedom again running around the place it was real you can actually clap for god that that's something if that broke out tonight you would be happy but i can remember you're not just serving making room for holy spirit honoring him as that honored guest in the room and moving with him and the energy it takes just to discern where he's going in the service and get up here and what looks so effortlessly as they're contending in their spirit discerning and using their spiritual muscles every moment for others and i can remember after sunday just wanting to collapse and going where am i what just happened that week oh god restore me touch me and then the effects of revival and you know everybody else is getting healed but people are attacking you and i i didn't we had we didn't use wisdom at first and got attacked by i don't mean literally attack but you know what i mean hungry people would just knock you down because they were so hungry for the anointing and you come up limping and just all kinds of things happen and you would just ask god heal me and then on tuesday when you would see people pull into the prayer room with terminal illnesses coming for the service the next night tuesday felt like oh god please don't lift oh god just do not go oh god oh god and when you see 20 because it was god tv and there would be 20 to 30 people laid out on mats just waiting to be touched by god to be healed and you would feel that pressure and you would feel the enemy's temptation to cave to that pressure and try to perform and and you had to use your spiritual muscles to rest in god and trust him and my point is is that it's a rigor and it takes endurance of another age in another world it takes a supernatural gift of grace and i watch this what's unique about this place is the whole church enters into that labor which is just unbelievable usually it's a few people in the worship team and and they just but it's a church and i just want to thank you for your labor for your using your spiritual muscles when you don't want to hear about it again and another conference and i just want to go home and binge on netflix and coveted [Music] because the devil tempts with the same temptations every people and yet you pick up you put on your beautiful garments you pick up your strength in jesus and you come in here and you serve and you get blessed that's a good thing when you serve other you the boomerang of god comes right back on you you pray for the city that thing boom it's back on you so anyway i i wanted to do two things i wanted to say thank you i want to say pray for your worship team and your leaders pray for them every day lift them up before god and here's why i'm saying it [Applause] you have not even seen the increase that god is about to give to this place and you will say to yourself wow and god will say this is not just a promotion this is a test this is a test [Laughter] and in that promotion there's always a test and the lord would have y'all remember these days when this building could hold you and you could stand in the glory because there's coming days when this building will not hold you and the glory will be so pervasive that you will crawl in [Music] and you have to exercise those spiritual muscles for the test for the test and so i bless you commend you and say pray for your leaders they have done the heavy lifting but the biggest test might be in front of them did you hear me they have done the heaviest lifting but the biggest test might be in front of them so pray for them pray for them pray for them amen will you pray for them because this thing's going somewhere and so i want my wife to pray for me and then i want to jump in i just want to hear her voice it touches me i watch her i wake up in the middle of the night and she's got a bible apple and praying for her kids and i'm like oh my gosh i don't even know if i know anything about intercession because i can sleep people i fall asleep in three seconds ask her i fall asleep in one to three seconds every night and because of a clean conscience you know what i'm saying but i follow i just oh lord hallelujah but my wife i'll wake up she'll be interceding she's meek she's humble and in the next stage i keep telling her because god god is going to decide where we're at in the next stage based upon our love and humility i keep telling her rachel remember me when you come into your kingdom i keep she's a servant i keep telling her remember me in the next age in the millennial reign pick me to be on your leadership team you think i'm you think i'm kidding i'm dead serious she is way more of a servant and patient and loving and humble than i am and i keep telling hey baby remember me if you get to pick pick me anyway pray for us i'm gonna pick you to be on my kickball team when i do you remember i'm just kidding i just want to say you guys are a really precious body of believers we need you in the body of christ we really do and when he said inheritance that's what i just kept hearing and i know that you've had it spoken but what a rich inheritance you have for real like for real can't you can't buy that it's the most precious thing so i just want to say just as a witness to the hunger gosh the standard you're raising that standard standard bearers in the body of christ amen amen and i felt the same thing over this little corner [Applause] just i don't know just so precious to the lord and really signing a wonder in our midst signing a wonder in the spirit of this age that's so strong you're pressing you're going counter cultural wow supernatural grace blessing upon you strength to run this race for your generation for your generation and he's he sees you he sees you he delights in you he sees you no small thing amen you know there's a scripture that says he will not forget the labor of your youth do you know when you love him when you're young there's an exponential reward for that it's not the same as you love him when you're 50. at 50 you ought to have enough wisdom to love god you ought to have enough and if you don't you're just a fool the bible says the fool says in his heart there is no god it is perfect wisdom to love god and at 50 you should love him but when you love him when there's still foolishness bound up in your heart which means this you just don't know enough yet you got good intentions but there's a big life in front of you and there's going to be lots of tests and temptations but the bible says he remembers when you love him when you're young he remembers it it stands before him it sits there around him and he watches over you and i've just seen do not do not underestimate your love for him at this age it's rare on the earth pray and then we'll go like that yeah and i know there's there's others sitting here too that are that are scattered it's not just here so there's others too bless you yes yeah amen you're not you're all a part of it so lord we just invite you here today we know you're here already we thank you holy spirit that your presence you are with us and we just say we love you and it is all about you lord just open up our eyes and our ears that we would see and hear the spirit and we ask that your word would run swiftly and be glorified in the name of jesus and we thank your thank you that your word is like a hammer that breaks in it shatters darkness with its light and we ask for your holy spirit to anoint alan tonight to bring forth your word with power and to honor and glorify you in jesus name amen amen thank you honey amen well we're going to jump into the word go ahead and open your bibles to the song of solomon chapter eight verse six and seven or it might be in your bible song of songs song of songs chapter eight verse six and seven i want to talk to you tonight about the fiery seal of divine love the bible calls it the very flame of god the fiery seal of divine love chapter 8 verse 6 and 7. you can open up to the middle of your bible to the psalms and just go right and you'll hit it pretty quick chapter eight verse six and seven set me as a seal upon your heart as a seal upon your arm for love is as strong as death jealousy is cruel as the grave its flames are flames of fire a most vehement flame in fact the hebrew says the very flame of yah it's the very flame of god it's not just the most vehement flame it's the most vehement flame it's the very flame of yahweh many waters cannot quench love nor can the floods drown it if a man would give for love all the wealth of his house it would be utterly despised father we thank you for your word we thank you for your spirit we ask that you would send the teacher that you would send the comforter that you would send the one who guides us into all truth and tells you of things to come and tells us lord god all that it is of jesus and makes it known to us send the spirit of revelation come holy spirit do your good work you are the teacher we are the students we want to learn from you we ask you to come now in jesus name amen well i want to talk to you tonight about that fiery seal of divine love you know corey talked about a wine skin that contains revival or sustains revival and then he gave us the beautiful exposition on the sermon on the mount matthew 5-7 the constitution of the kingdom we call it and he gave us literally about five mind-blowing sermons in one sermon he just he loved you so much he just packed it all in and went and it was awesome the wine skin what sustains revival what keeps the heart during the trials and tribulations what is going to sustain you and so in this passage he's going to address that in fact if you turn back with me at chapter one this whole song some of you may not be familiar with the song of solomon's or some of you younger people like no i'm not allowed to read that yet mom and dad just said stay away from it mom what's the palm tree no just get away we're not talking about palm trees or anything else and pomegranates we're staying away from it all and the right in one sense don't awaken love before it's time because this song now think of who writes it solomon the most wise man on the earth and he writes not only a song he writes the song of all songs and in one sense it's about natural love between king solomon and this young maiden a shulamite but the church even the jewish rabbis and the early church have seen it for the last 3000 years more than a story between king solomon and the shulamite it's a story of a journey into wholehearted love between god and his corporate bride his people it's an allegory of how the heart goes from the cry the pursuit of love and ends up in holy burning passionate ardent fully giving love that will not yield in the trial it's a journey into fullness and if there's any one word i put over this church it's the pursuit of fullness you just won't back down and you got it all you don't care what people think you want it all it's a journey in the wholehearted love and it begins with this cry she's heard of the wine of the lord's love but she's not tasted it herself that's where it all begins you see somebody and you just go i'm sick of living my life and they they got something on them i want they got peace joy love that there's i i want that and she begins with this cry let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth or in other words kiss my heart with your word for your love is better than wine it's better than the wine of this world she goes i've heard your love is better than anything this world can offer so kiss my heart my logging heart with your word in fact that's the first truth the first key the lord gave you was pursuit it begins with the cry the pursuit of love the pursuit of presence and then she gives the two-fold her two-fold life vision if you look with me there in verse four she prays two things in light of the desire to know his love that's better than the wine of this world she cries this two-fold cry which is draw me away and we will run after you in fact that's the two movements in the christian life it's this draw me away i want to know you i don't want to live at a distance if i was made for you and you redeemed me for you then let's get on with you coming to me draw me away and then the we will run after you which is i want to know you and this one i want to make you known i want to know your love and i want to partner with it i want to be intimate and i want to be fruitful i want to know you and i want to release your power and i don't want to release it without knowing you i don't want to stay at a distance and look no more does she make that cry look what it says the king has brought me into his chamber [Laughter] no more does she cry i want to know you i want to make you known then he brings her in and encounters her with his love and just to give you kind of an overview because i'm going to go right to the end in a moment the first four chapters are about her receiving her inheritance and his love the last four chapters are about god receiving his inheritance in her love it's all about i want to know you the first four chapters and the second one that i want to partner in love with you i want to be about your business and so she has that cry and the king brings her in and then she begins to face obstacles how many of you have said jesus to jesus yes i want you kiss my heart with your word i want to know you and then he revealed himself and now the obstacles came and she had to overcome many she had to overcome neglect she lacked wisdom she burnt out she began to just do things without cultivating that mary of bethany heart that we call it that place of intimacy she burnt out so she cried out for wisdom and the lord spoke to her and said follow the flock and the shepherds that tend them in other words this isn't a mystery look at the lives of the shepherds who've gone before you and walk in their path in other words i don't need to appear to you go listen to your pastor and no more does she obey that and says yes i will listen to the wisdom of those who've gone before me i'll come under authority and bam he meets her he brings her in he brings her and lets her sit under the shade tree of the cross where she delights in the cross she rests in his finished work she has no striving left she receives from him and in that place he then takes her in the banqueting hall and the banner over her is love as she drinks the wine of the love that was shown to her in the cross and as she begins to enjoy resting in intimacy he shows up in chapter two with a new face as a young stag skipping on the mountains the mountains represent the nations and he comes and he says oh rise up my love and come away you've tasted my love but there are nations that have not let me see your face let me hear your voice come on springtime has come the turtledove is in the land the birds are singing in other words it's harvest time she's tasted his love but she's not gone to the harvest fear grips her she ends up saying no you go that's scary there's lions and animals in the mountains in other words it's not safe and she goes turn from me and yet she knows she should but she can't in her weakness she's afraid she cries out catch the foxes that spoil our vine catch the little foxes those little compromises where i don't trust you to bring the gospel to the cities we're in fear i'm locked up and what does he do she says you go and so he leaves her and in that separation she goes i i would rather do away with everything than have without you he just temporarily withdraws and goes if you want me you're going to have to trust me because i want to take you to deeper places i think you call it thresholds you got to go to the next place you got to overcome that thing right and so she immediately he leaves her just for a moment she can't take it she runs out into the city and says have you seen my beloved have you seen him and immediately boom he's there he goes oh i knew you would long for me and risk it all rather than have the loss of my love i knew you would come and then he shows himself that he's safe that she can trust him in the harvest and at that moment then he speaks to her as her heart settles in trust in chapter four he looks into her budding virtues beloved she's not mature she hadn't done anything yet but she finally overcame her fear neglect lack of wisdom to trust him and at that point he says you've ravished my heart and begins to speak these things into her and you're like wait a minute she hadn't showed those things he goes you can't see him but i see the budding virtues her love is weak yes but it's real and i see it just because it hasn't broken the surface yet doesn't mean it's real i see in her heart and it's all there and you've ravished my heart my sister my bride your eyes are dove's eyes you're loyal your eyes are locked on me now now we can go somewhere and when he speaks that to her she erupts and says oh blow on my garden send the north winds send the south winds and in chapter 4 verse 16 it's the transition of the book because he ends up saying do whatever you got to do to get me to fullness send them send the south winds those are the warm winds that's the season of blessing send the north winds that's the season of trial she goes whatever you need to do to produce the greatest amounts of love to get me from weak love to full love ardent love holy wholehearted love do it do it blow on my garden and so he does and over the next two chapters she will experience jesus's face in the garden of gethsemane of trial and in that place she's accused rejected and persecuted by her fellow believers the watchmen the ones who are supposed to be in it with her who are supposed to protect her for the king they turn on her anybody ever had that you taste revival and you really do that pursuit and you let the winds blowed and the threshold i mean that giant will come will be from within it'll be your brethren that steal it out of your heart but she endures the accusation she endures the persecution and rejection and in that place she says to everyone have you seen my beloved he's the fairest of ten thousand because she loves him through the trial and all the other young maidens the daughters of jerusalem go what is it about your lover that you would go through this much trial and not accuse him and still love him he should they go what is it about your lover that's different from all the others she goes he's the fairest of ten thousand in chapter five she lists like 20 attributes and you're like oh he's all and she finishes with this he's the chief among ten thousand he's all together lovely you know that that's what happens when you go through trial right you get through the trial and you go i didn't like it at the time but you are so sweet you're playing birth things in me and wrought maturity in me i would have never asked for i would not have picked this testing but you did it you are amazing do you know what it says in revelation 15 that all the martyrs are standing there on the sea of glass mingle with fire and they say great marvelous are your ways o god justin true in other words you did it perfectly they lost their lives for him and they're standing there in heaven and going you did it perfectly [Laughter] you know why that sea of glass is mingled with fire because the holy spirit is the seven spirits of fire around the throne but it's also the love of the saints materialized all around them they're just fervent in love they go we were tortured we were persecuted our families were killed we inevitably were killed but guess what great marvelous all your works just and true are all your ways and when she does that he responds with turn your eyes for me i can't even take it it moves my heart it overwhelms him have you ever thought of overwhelming god with a gift of love where he's englocked in on you and your love to him so real and sweet that he goes i'm moved by it i moved by it mary of bethany did that to him remember she wept when her brother died she wept she fell she worshiped and it made jesus weep and pulled a resurrection right out of him her love moved him can you imagine that you just weep before him and he starts weeping when your groan makes him groan you know what it says jesus groaned in himself and he wept imagine moving god's heart where god would groan and weep and take up your cause imagine if there was a level of love to where you whispered i want phoenix and moved him what would he do just the fact we can move him ought to make you love him you ought to be running around this building shouting your head off that you can move god with your love we hardly move anybody in this life with our love most of the people closest to us take us for granted so we shut our hearts down and quit loving but you can move god with your love you can move him so look what happens tell me i have to show you this verse i should have been done with this in two minutes because i want to get to chapter eight but look at this chapter 7 verse 9 she comes to this place of maturity and look what she says the wine goes down smoothly for my beloved moving gently the lips of sleepers now that's teeth it's hebrew this teeth so the wine goes down smoothly moving gently over lips and teeth which means this it moves the wine of his love now has no hindrance it moves smoothly it just goes down you know most of the time god has so much love for us he wants to give us but it has hindrances you know rebellion that resistance is when you grit your teeth the mule that grits his teeth so you have to put what the bridle in it because the teeth you got over and around so you didn't remove the shulamite stands there and goes the wine goes down now without any resistance in other words i not only say i love you i love your ways i love you and i love your ways you know what this was like when in psalm 40 when it says david i can't believe he said this this is unbelievable he said i saw your books concerning me and what was written in them how many of you would like to see the book of god in the one sentence written there about your life well some of you're like i don't know i got i got to get right [Laughter] and that's good you should but that's not where you're stopping you're going to get right and you're going to get another sentence written there because he designed you and made you for something else something bigger oh my gosh young man who's that that's aaron my gosh i looked over and i heard the lord say that's his story hey hey hey aaron he's got a sentence for you written in his book he's going to write it don't worry don't fret the future trust him in little ways make little choices he'll meet you you're a good man you're a good man you're a good man in fact give him your love before you get everything else right it'll come in line don't you worry you receive his grace and you give him your love he'll take care of that stuff you just stay with him don't let shame keep you out okay [Applause] why i'm not embarrassing you know why i'm saying that aaron that's my story that's mine and he will get you through young man young man i mean young compared to 50 you're you're grown up but young compared to 50. here here's the deal she says and right there as she says that look with me at verse five who is this coming up out of the wilderness of testing and she's fully leaning on her beloved she's not saying you go she's not drawing back she's just leaning on him like john the beloved leaning on jesus's breasts she's just leaning on him fully leaning trusting him in the north winds and the south winds and they're saying who is this why because she's shining she's shining the glory that's resting under going oh i want to look at the shulabite they actually say that where is she we want to look upon her can we look on her can we look on her and you know what the rest of the chapter eight is going to be about her being very fruitful because of the glory that's resting on her she's going to be very fruitful in fact you know what the last line is she tells god to get with it she is so in love with him and his ways she looks at the end and she goes make haste and come with me on those mountains you started this you run my heart you addicted me to your presence you baptized me in your love you gave me a heart for the nations so let's get on with it and that's where it always leaves you fullness he's the one that awakened you to the nations and now he waits for you to say you said give me phoenix give it to me god make haste don't steal my heart and leave me here alone don't touch me this deep for for this city and did not come phoenix come on god can you imagine god let you do that because that's when you are in full confident partnership in love oh i love it when my wife points that little finger at me and she's confident about a manner and she says let me tell you something alan scott hood you are gonna go and you're gonna serve and you're gonna love and that's it i wouldn't dare say no i'm scared of her when she's five foot three little thing i'm terrified over when she do you see god wants to bring us into levels of his love to we're now in confidence we can remind him of who he is and his desire to save the nations and he's waiting for the church to get there because when they do and they say make haste guess what he does he make haste but look and here's the message for tonight but before she goes into that fruitful season a big impact so far she's had no big impact it's mostly been behind the scenes and we know she's gone out to meet him in the harvest but we don't know if she's had tons of impact there but we know at the end of chapter 8 god is going to prosper her he's going to make her fruitful that hidden love when no one saw them when no one even knew fresh start's name that hidden love for seven years plus that hidden reach when no one knew but then there's coming a season when people will know and the impact will be great and she will begin to multiply herself and she will begin to produce and it's at that point jesus the great lover of her soul looks into her and says hey that's going to be amazing that's what i brought you forth from i'm answering your prayer to know me and to make me known to be intimate and to be fruitful and to release your power on the earth i'm answering your prayer because this was my heart for you but before that i've got to give you one key thing if you thought the last seven chapters was hard it's nothing compared to the trial of the success of chapter eight nothing the giants you faced in the last seven chapters are nothing compared to this final giant and you're going to need something you're going to need it at the core of your being and he looks at her in verse 5 and he says look here i awakened you under the apple tree this is key before he goes into the key issue he reminds her hey when you knew nothing back in chapter 1 when you knew nothing or had anything i loved you before you offered me one glance one reach of love i awakened you i started this thing remember grace remember mercy before you had anything you were loved you were loved let that undo you every day of your life before one or before a stadium whether you're in front of the multitude and the many or the one give them everything god comes and says i awakened you i started this thing because i wanted you to get here more than you wanted to get here i loved you and then he says to her now here's the key to passing the last test of the song of all songs set me as a seal upon your heart and upon your arm for love is as strong as death jealousy as cruel as the grave its flames or flames of fire most vehement flame the very flame of yah and many waters cannot quench love nor can floods drown it if a man would give for love all the wealth of his house it would be utterly despised he sits there and listens to her and he says do you remember you began this journey when you cried out kiss me with the kisses of your word but the song ends with jesus saying a cry of his heart place me like a seal upon your heart and upon your arm for my love is as strong as death jealousy as cruel as the grave it is the fiery flame of god it's the very core of his being the very passion of his nature put me as a seal upon your heart which means let every emotion be born of love put me on your arm let every action let every good deed be born of love he hits that two-fold life of the believer he says i want my fiery seal of divine love on your heart i want it to be the filter of every emotion you have and i want my divine seal of fiery love on your arm i want to be the motivation of every work every labor you do it's not work versus love it's work born out of love can you imagine if every emotion and every deed you did was born out of love you would be the most rare person on the earth we wouldn't even know what to do with you you would never manipulate you would put always prefer others before you you would be the slave of all oh my gosh you would be so odd oh no don't pay me don't do this oh god oh no there's some of my players to come here okay you'd be in the prayer room like jasmine was after church giving him your love that's her name right in the hidden place and he gives us the key why because love is the only power that can sustain you through the crisis through the testing it's the only thing that can sustain a heart of revival you know when i say wholehearted love or ardent love it's the revival in the heart it's all the same it's all about love he brought you and created you in love and he wants to bring you forth in love it's all about love god is love and before god ever created a thing and before god exercised his sovereignty and power over that creation he was eternally loving himself as father son holy spirit which means his first action is love and primary action is love there's nothing like there's nothing like our god now you look at this and then we'll we'll jump on but look at this right here look what it says this love is so powerful to get you through death you know his love's gonna bring you out of that grave and then many waters many trials many rivers cannot quench it nothing can put it out no trial no testing nothing love endures love what never fails that's on the inside of our rings love never fails faith hope and love these three will remain but the greatest of these is what love bind them all together in love the end is near therefore be watchful in your prayers and above all things love first peter 4 7. power the power of god displayed in love but look at this and this is what he says now he's going to say this thing will overcome the biggest obstacle of humanity death this thing will not be quenched in trial and this kind of love will know no sacrifice look what it says if a man would give for love all the wealth of his house it would be utterly despised do you know what that means let me give you an illustration let's say god forbid and it's not going to happen but one of my sons got a terminal illness and i didn't have insurance and i could find no help and the cost of the antidote to treat my son for this illness would cost me the price of my house the price of my cars and all the every possession i owned i would have to sell it to buy that antidote good morning america heard about it they brought me on the father who gave all for his son the hero and that morning i go on and the lady interviewer says we heard about this story and about you giving everything for your son how heroic you know what my response would be heroic [Laughter] heroic are you kidding me he's my son the son of my love i would give everything for him i would gladly sell my house i would gladly sell my cars i would gladly sell my clothes i'd sell your house and your cars to get my son right i'd lay down my life if my son could be whole which means if you called that offering of love heroic the person who gave the offering would despise it which is what i preached on last time i was here the elders who are giving the loftiest place of governance and honor and glory with the father they go and they throw it at his feet you gave it but guess what we love you so much we're throwing it down and jesus runs over and picks their crowns up puts it on their head says do it again and they throw it down again and that is the love that goes on for eternity i didn't deserve anything you're so glorious and he picks it up and goes oh but do you know who you are i love you oh do you know and the love affair goes for eternity you don't believe me but you will you see this this fiery ardent love must be the foundation for everything and it starts with the day one oh believer when you're awakened and it has to be sustained all the way through that's the glory of this christian life can you keep the yaw flame in your inner man burning all the way to the end in every new revelation and every old revelation every trial will you put his fiery love on your heart like a flame now here's where we're going tonight i want to ask you a question how are you evaluating success fresh start before you get so big and have so much impact and it's coming but how do you evaluate success as i travel all around the world to get to see so many different churches and movements it's amazing how believers and churches and movements use various indicators to measure their successfulness some it's the amount of religious activity some it's talent and giftings others it's freedom and expression of their worship others it's mental apprehension of the scriptures if you believe this you're successful if you don't you're out production of leaders churches are more like see run by ceos and are efficient and effective and huge and big and impactful or what about one's impact on society are you taking over the seven mountains releasing the apostolic ministries into the different spheres of society often the most successful among us are viewed by our measure of anointing as we minister or impact as we work very few people consider the quality of one's interior life as the measure of success but god sees the heart samuel said oh the oldest son of jesse oh he must be the king nope oh this one oh yeah he must be the king oh yeah oh yeah do you have any more sons uh just the one over on the hillside watching the sheep he's so insignificant that when the greatest prophet in the history of israel showed up we left him out but you know what he didn't mind because he just loves to play guitar and watch the sheep and sing up to the stars and god said to samuel man looks in the outward but god looks on the heart and raised up soul in his example of human strength and appearance then judges it and gives it to a man after his own heart few leaders in the church stop to ask how tender is my heart before god and how responsive is it to his name his ways and his word few asks when's the last time i cried corey said it so eloquently this morning i won't repeat it when's the last time it touched me is my heart tender is my heart soft what's the quality of my love in fact i've met a lot of leaders with international ministries over millions who are mean they rule like bishops in their palaces and everyone else exists for them and they're mean and i have to connect with them for the gospel and i just walk away go ah knowing that god will sometimes raise up someone of impact just to in the end judge them to let the body know that's not what you do saul is the primary example he will raise up human strength and then let it look like it's the oh and then pam and then everybody goes oh don't do that i ain't going that way that's why in a moment when the shaking comes and all these large things that don't have love in the holy spirit jesus at the center they're going to crumble it's what is what cory said their house is built on sand and in that day the little church that's been having revival for 30 years is going to go in the midst of the shaking we know what to do and in that day the large things lampstand will be stolen and the one who knows god and loves god will know what to do you know what solomon said he's got experience in this because he actually fell and failed to do what the verse said you know what he says in proverbs 4 keep your heart with all diligence for out of it spring all the issues of life keep your heart keep your heart keep your heart don't you sell out your heart for anyone or anything you keep your heart and the spirit will nudge you when that when that trial comes that temptation you get this offer you get that and you did this and did and the spirit will just say [Music] you're going to lose your heart you're going to lose your heart and you go you know what i don't think it's the lord's time bless you don't bring judgment or the accuser of the brethren against them just go [Music] because they didn't even know they were testing you they had good motives and god's blessing their ministry but you you're like [Music] something i don't have peace you ever had that keep your heart here's why the bible warns of a time that is coming when the hearts of all people will grow cold because of the shaking and you know what it says in that hour they will betray one another believers will fall away and they will betray one another even giving up their family members during persecution one of the main attributes of the end times is one of the main things that will try the church is will you have a cold hard heart because if you do you will not be able to resist the trials that will come you won't resist deception and you won't resist falling out of love beloved you have to have a tender heart before god it's not you know what if today i said i had an adulterous affair if i came to the pastors right before that i said you know what i'm in an adulterous affair but i'm trying to get out and you know what i you know but you asked me to come and preach so i'm going to come you know what they tell me we love you but you need to sit down right now and just receive and they level me through the whole thing and they'd ask me the accountability questions that need to be asked are you in counseling have you reconciled with your wife have you cut off this other gal you know what i'm saying if i'd embezzled a ton of money from ihop and it came out in the news and i showed up here same thing if i'd walked away from christ and bad mouthed mike bickle to them or just separated and took half the church and then bad-mouthed mike on charisma they would sit me down but hear me i could get up here tonight and my heart could be cold and small and god would release the anointing because of his love for you and you would never know and yet which is a more grievous offense before god see we don't look at things like god looks at things we need his word to realign us me ask you a question as we begin to wrap this up if you had the choice between large impact and a large heart which would you choose do you remember the story of seder sundar singh who went up into the mountains of india and in that place he sought god on this long fast and he comes upon an old man in the mountain and has a dialogue with that old man and the way the story goes is that old man he says how long have you been up here he said i've been up here for over a thousand years he goes what he goes yes the lord there are some that the lord has assigned do you remember the verse about john some of you will not die till you see the coming of the lord there are some that the lord appoints in secret to just pray for the coming of the lord until he comes and i'm up here in this mountain in this cave until he comes love i'm not saying the story is real but my gosh do you know he came down from that experience and became one of the most powerful loving saints ever produced in the earth with more impact in can you imagine if your one assignment was to just love him in secret and say maranatha all day long no one would know your name but god and that but god is the big thing let me ask you a question now some of you going hey alan it's not large impact versus a large heart you're the ones i'm talking to actually you say we don't have to pick you're the ones i'm talking to because this world is going to make you pick and if you don't pick the right priority if you don't put them in the right order apostolic priority love let me ask you this how does heaven evaluate your success when you stand before him on that day what happens when billy graham comes and walks in man who's preached to the gospel more people in the history of christianity we could even put reinhard bonke in there do you think when they approach the throne and they're walking in those pearly gates all the angels are going to go hey hey jesus there's billy graham oh my gosh is that him he's so kind maybe but the point is this what happens billy graham has been assigned by god a certain sphere and impact what happens when the 24 year old missionary who went to yemen and opened her mouth on the street corner and died within 30 minutes how does god judge billy graham versus that little girl who nobody knows her name and she never won one convert but she stood for love on that corner in the muslim world and gave her life as a seed how does he judge what is he looking at what does he want from you when you stand before him on that day because the judgment seat is the only place that counts as success how does he judge i mean let me ask you a question do you know when god gave us the original test in the garden do you know what it was it seems like a bizarre test you can eat from either the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or you can eat from the tree of what life what is the knowledge of good and evil we call that in scholastics ethics what's good what's evil you would think god would want adam and eve to know ethics morality so what is the choice that's going on here was the test what is the source of your dominion what's the source of your reign your rule your governance what will you rule out of will you be like soul with human strength and ingenuity with human observation of this and that and that and that independent of god or will you out of the place of communion and love meet with him there and then reflect that government which will it be you were never made to be god but you were never made to be without him and the moment you try to rule or impact without him is the moment you've lost everything that same test is right now being played out on a macrocosm and microcosm in every believer's heart will you rule alone with human ingenuity and strength or will you commune that's the test beloved i want you to turn with me turn with me we're running out of time towing me to first corinthians chapter 3. i'm going to read you a couple verses then give an application and close first corinthians chapter 3 verse 10 according to the grace of god which was given to me as a wise master builder i have laid the foundation and another builds on it paul just called himself the wise master builder for the new testament church so every word he says after this you better listen to every word the wise master builder just opened his mouth and told you how to sustain everything look what he says he says but he's let each one take heed how he builds on it for no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is jesus christ now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold silver precious stones wood hay straw each one's work will become clear for the day will declare it because it will be revealed by fire this is the judgment seat of christ and the fire will test each one's work of what sword it is if anyone's work which he build on it endures he'll receive a reward but if anyone is work is burned he will suffer lost but he himself will be saved as through fire here's what that means he says that the judgment seat all of your impact will be weighed and judged by god's fire of love the wood hay and stubble will be burned do you know what wood hay and stubble is it's found above the ground it's the appearance paul is later going to say in second corinthians 5 those super apostles that you semi worship they boast in appearance but not in heart their interior life is shallow shriveled their hearts are cold but they impress their oratory skills are mighty but their hearts are small shriveled paul keeps saying wake up do you know where gold silver and precious metals are found under the ground it's the interior life get your heart ready he goes if you don't do it out of love if you don't do it from overflow of that interior life guess what the fire of god will burn it up that day it will test it you'll be saved your life will just be wasted oh can you imagine showing up to god on that day and he goes you know what you're saved but do you know what i could have done you know how we could waste it beloved i don't know about you i don't want to go into the eternal age with that kind of regret first corinthians 13. you know what paul ends up doing here it's unbelievable because we read it all the time but we don't believe it we really do the worship team could come on up and just stand there first corinthians 13. do you know in first corinthians 12 the corinthians were worshiping those super apostles for their gifting if i read you the list of what they said about paul he's weak he's deformed his oratory skills are horrible do you know why he was weak in the form he had been stoned that doesn't mean they threw little rocks at his knees they threw big stones at his head he couldn't even see and his hands were mangled afterwards and they're mocking him because he's not this philosophical wise orator he's going hey i birthed you in the gospel i'm scarred like this and weak like this and broken like this and sickly they said do you know why he was sick because after he was beaten with rods and whipped with a cat of nine tails it would take him six months to a year just to recover when your back's ripped to shreds you've seen the passion of christ you know what it looks like and paul says to him in first corinthians 12 he goes listen you're boasting in the wrong things why because you don't get to pick think of how many things you don't get to control you don't control your gender if you're born in a muslim nation today and you're a woman i just want to tell you your impact is very limited you don't get to pick your social class you don't get to pick your race you don't get to pick your iq dang it you don't even get to pick your personality profile we spend our whole lives trying to figure out who we are am i an otter am i a golden retriever who am i who am i you know am i nine a one a six a two an eight am i going to conquer the world or am i enfg or istj we spend our whole lives trying to figure ourselves out and you didn't even get to pick it you spend your whole life trying to figure out why the thoughts pop up the way they do going where'd that come from you don't get to pick any of that and you guess what makes it worse you don't get to pick your spiritual gifts read i don't have time but i i would do an exposition of first corinthians 12. it says the spirit gives the gifts as often as he desires you don't get to pick which gifts everybody wants every worship leader wants to be a preacher every preacher wants to be a worship leader every businessman wants to be a minister and every minister wish he had money because we don't we always want the other but we don't get to pick our gifts did you know that you don't even get to pick the measure or the sphere of your gift the holy spirit decides why because it ain't for you he gave you that for me and for us he gives it for the edification of the body you don't even get to pick that you know what you do get to pick your measure of faith you do get to pick that and that opens doors you didn't originally have so get that measure of faith because that might increase your measures fear and increase the amount of giftings you get but that's all you have control over is your love that's all do you know everything else in this life can be taken from you but your love your family can be taken a stroke can hit and take your physical abilities your oration skills everything can be violently taken from you from the by the evil one like job but one thing the devil cannot touch is your love and that means that your love is the most noble gift you can give to anybody that's why god says don't give your love to anything less than him don't do it not an idol not perversion not anything else give your love to god because it's the most noble thing you can ever give and we'll close out here because you don't believe me i want you to look at first corinthians 13. we say we nod our heads and go oh yeah love's important but we don't act like it everything else has a different story you know what and i'm going to be honest if we were godly and we had his love the church would not be asking and involved in the debate about whether our black brothers and sisters deserve more we wouldn't be in the debate you know what we would be first john doesn't say if anyone deserves it help them see that debate of they deserve don't that's not that might be in the world it ain't in the church you know what the bible says if you see your brother in need help help see i'm tired of the politics right now i just want revival fire on the church tired i got political opinions i could share but guess what i don't need to debate reparations why because if i see my brother in need i've got to give and if i don't give i'll be like the man who looks in the mirror and immediately forgets what he looks like when he turns away how can you say you love god whom you can't see when you don't love your brother who you do see you see we've been sucked in to this cultural war sometimes and we don't know how to love i'm not asking what my vote's going to be i'm going to vote because i love this country and i'm a good citizen and beloved if you've ever gone to anywhere around the earth every time you land the plane you kiss the ground when you get back here why because at least there's the seed bed of love and righteousness to change many nations i go in many nations but here's here's what god asked me in my church is your brother in need he's your brother in need help give him what you have if someone's got to make you somebody else has got to make you give you don't love god you go out and death there's more nuance than that will you take it up with the apostle john because those aren't my words i am so sick of the hardness of heart i'm ready for a holy ghost revival of love i'm ready for an acts two to four revival where they laid everything at apostles feet where they gave up everything and everyone was in one accord where love abounded everyone gave everything for everyone we don't even know what that is that's like a foreign thing the love of god in the fear of god like two foreigners in the land i'll tell you what i'm going to vote but the church needs more than a president we need a baptism of love the church needs a baptism of love the church needs a baptism of fire the church needs to be the one new man where everyone else looks and goes those black latino white polish whoever czechoslovakian if you're in the room do you see how they love because you know what god says in isaiah 19 before the coming of the lord he will bring arab and jew together and form a holy highway from assyria through israel to egypt if god can bring messianic jew and arab christian together he can fix us right now we can love you can love me i can love you and when i'm down help me and when you're down i'm gonna help you the one new man is the miracle but you can't fake that you gotta have love oh it's too late i'll read you these one scriptures though i speak with the tongues of man and angels but have not love i have become a soundly breast or clinging symbol now we just read that oh yeah yeah though i speak with the tongues of men's and angels do you know what that is that's an oration gift can you imagine if you were the most anointed insightful orator on the earth where you not only spoke with the tongues of men but of angels you know heavenly wisdom and earthly word you spoke do you know you could move nations every president on the earth you would be impacting by your voice and the audacity of paul to say you would just be a clinging symbol if you had not loved it gets worse look at this he goes and though i have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and knowledge and though i have all faith so i could remove mountains do you see that do you know what all knowledge and prophecy you would be like daniel insight into all mysteries riddles enigmas prophecies and you had blasted acumen out the wazoo iq off the charts you were einstein and elijah at the same time you would be richer than bill gates and every governmental official would want to know your counsel what if you had the faith you could move a mountain do you know what happened today in phoenix if pastors stood up and told arizona the real god you will know because i will command this mountain range and i will move it a hundred miles into the desert at my command you would be oh my gosh you would be the greatest evangelist that ever walked the earth can you imagine walking to yemen and going let's see if your god's real i'm going to pick up that mountain i'ma throw it in the sea yemen would turn to jesus immediately look what he says but you have not love you or what nothing paul you can't mean that you can't mean that and though i bestow all my goods to feed the poor here it is here's your devotion your sacrifice for the poor here's your justice movement look at that if i gave all my goods to feed the poor and though i give my body to be burned the ultimate devotion what does it say i have nothing it profits me nothing without love but the glass of cold water in his name for love he remembers forever do we understand the foundation of god's kingdom how does this play out well you know it little mary bethany sat at his feet cultivated her interior life and in the place of trial she poured out her love at his feet he raised her brother and then she realized he's stronger than death and right before he died she anointed him for burial she gave him her whole inheritance and you know what he said as the apostle said leave her alone leave you know leave him alone let him be she could have gave this money to the poor you know what jesus said let that little girl alone she's done a good work and wherever the gospel is preached her story will be told why this is the example of love that when the apostles go to the nations i want them to create disciples like her that's why her story is told but you know what we don't know if she ever won one person to jesus the new testament never mentions her again but wherever the gospels preach her story is going to be told you know how many stories aren't told in churches but her story is promised wherever the gospel is preached it will be told because they will discern that love is the core of everything mighty ephesus the revival center of the whole ancient world the third most popular church in the new testament behind jerusalem and antioch beloved did you know out of a out of a population of 250 000 paul started with 12 believers they got baptized in the holy spirit and within two years it's 25 000 a city that was known for its passionate love for the goddess diana suddenly turns and gives passionate fervent love to jesus and burns millions of dollars worth of idols and witchcraft books in the fire and suddenly the church is 25 000. you know what they call it the mighty church of ephesus do you know what the word for revival there is and the word oh i love this and the word overcame the word prevailed in ephesus which means god's word overcame everything and they gave it all and the gospel went out to asia minor and all over and mighty ephesus do you know who the pastoral team was for ephesus paul founded it timothy pastored it and then in the latter years john the apostle the beloved apostle came and brought mary the mother of jesus because jesus entrusted her to him how would you like to have a pastoral team of paul timothy john the beloved and mary the mother of jesus paul's in his later years he's in the bottom of a mine they tried to boil him alive twice he went and boiled so they just exiled him he's in the bottom of my mind he's the spirit on the lord's day he sees the lord he's blown away turns into the fetal position as those realms of glory break into him jesus picks him up and says get up john i gotta tell you something you're not gonna like it though you know your beloved ephesus the mighty revival movement of ephesus it's going to break your heart john get ready you want the good news or the bad news first i can see john just the good news they're doing good works they're reaching people you know they test the apostles and find out false apostles their labors are now greater than they were before they're reaching the whole world their impact's bigger than it ever was and you almost hear john going well yeah they're still having revival services every night all of asia minor is hearing the gospel because of mighty church of ephesus 25 000. unheard of in the ancient world not even jerusalem and antioch had those numbers well then what's wrong lord john hold on you're not going to like this it's going to break your heart john you know the love they had when they gave up everything for me at the first when they pursued when they had prayer when they overcame thresholds when they did whatever it took to get my presence they don't love me anymore there are impacts there but love left a few decades ago they love their impact they don't love me and i'm going to take away their lamp stand because i will not multiply loveless church john i will not multiply loveless church i needed to tell you this so that they would repent and do their first works of love mary chose the good part and it was not taken from her ephesus resisted the one thing needed and their lampstand was taken do you know what ephesus is the picture of today we don't talk about mighty ephesus we don't preach sermons on mighty ephesus you know why because we preached sermons on the loveless church the church that lost their first love do you know if you go to ephesus today there's not a church there it's nothing it's sand it's ruins mary gets preached wherever the gospel goes ephesus becomes the warning of revival without love what started off as beautiful became successful and then lost their love you say alan we we know that warning i know you know it but i'm here to tell you you do not know the growth and the blessing that is about to come on this place and i am praying for you i am praying for you corey and i will be in travail for you guys that the wisdom of the lord would rest upon you and the fiery burning heart why am i telling you this and not them that in the background they already know this i'm telling you this because this is the first place of revival i've seen where it envelops the whole people usually it's about the people on the stage and the anointing on the stage when george whitfield opened his mouth this what happens but this is a revival people so you've got to steward your hearts you've got to watch over and guard it like the precious pearl it is why because god wants to multiply a church of love i don't think y'all understood how desirous i meant when i ate lunch with him i said please do this please this cultural revival but i think he wants to put into that foundation to remind you of your first days when you were just raw as corey said i'll finish with rocky raw the eye of the tiger which means this you have filled with fiery love and i felt like the holy spirit said all week to me alan tell them to ask for the divine seal of fiery love that no man with influence can rip it off of you no offer of success can take it away from you no trial no tribulation the same marketers that will make you big will turn you down and write the article about you and won't even lose a night's sleep doing it keep your heart if you're here you go you know what i want my heart to be large i want to stand before him on that day and offer him a revival spirit from day one till the last day and when i see his face i want you to stand right now i'm gonna pray for the fiery seal i'm so delighted because i believe you already carry this but ephesus carried it too can you imagine how big is how big is um phoenix 4 million can you imagine 400 000 believers coming to jesus and you have to have four services in that stadium down the road four services for four hundred thousand and the red hot on fire and the casinos go out of business and all the businessmen of the sin industry in phoenix are mad at you paul had to go to prison because he shut down the idol industry and the sin industry in ephesus you imagine if you shut it all down you imagine the demand that would be placed upon you to leave that place of love and stewardship just hold your hands out like you're receiving a gift no man can give this to you by laying up hands this is the one thing nobody can give you you got to get oil of love on your own you've got to get the oil and the fire of the holy spirit on your own you've got to ask him you've got to set before him you've got to make those little choices to let the wine of his love go down unhindered you've got to lean in here you've got to be the one you ask him right now pray this prayer lord set your fiery seal of divine love on my heart and arm cry out to him say i i've got to have that fiery seal i've got to have that seal that trial tribulation crisis success prosperity death trouble cannot quench give me that love father give me the fiery seal of divine love release your fire release your fire release your fire on my heart on my arm go ahead and lead us see you guys are the stewards of the flame you guys when the contracts come and you're gonna write a hundred psalms and ten of them will go across the earth and you'll find yourself millionaires in a moment will you remember will you stay soft will you love him you know most of the revival worship leaders i know they're burnt out and they're cold burnt stones they got the platinum records even the worship they made literally three million dollars from one song in two years and in the midst of revival they loved him and then 13 years later after all the contracts after all the world tours the revival tour around the world they're sitting in their house revival's not there anymore and they're like cold burnt song stones they don't even write songs anymore don't go that way i'm pleading with you with tears do you know in acts chapter 20 paul's last visit with episode he said i've cried and wept over you for the last three years wolves are going to rise up in your midst to steal your love wolves are going to come in sheep's clothing to steal your love don't let your brethren snatch this out of your heart you were made for the fiery seal of divine love don't you do it don't you trade love for riches don't you train love for anything you stay on fire if anybody knows your name it doesn't matter he does you move him that's what matters alejandro god's going to give you a promotion corey said it's a warning not a blessing keep your heart young man keep it right now i want you to enter in i want y'all to respond to god the way he tells you to this is a transaction tonight right now you're driving a stake in the ground because i'm going to tell you after this next week you will be known throughout the whole body of christ everyone will know who fresh start is and then it will come and much of it should come but you've got to keep your heart [Music] fire [Music] holy spirit [Music] oh kill it from god [Music] [Music] [Music] the place [Music] until you end [Music] tonight you go you know what if he was to take me home tonight i don't know the quality of my heart before him i don't know how much i love i think when i vote that makes me a certain quality of christian but my heart's hard it's cold it doesn't have love i might be shocked my life might be saved but it might be wasted i did things with motives that weren't born out of love they were born out of this and that and that and this and if that's you i want you to come forward i want to sing this together i want god to do a corporate softening of a heart if you go you know what i i don't know if my heart's soft i don't know if i'm ready to meet the lord beloved some of you do not want to hear the words saved but wasted that would be the worst words you could hear as a believer the worst words would be depart from me i never knew you but if you're a sincere believer the worst words you could ever hear are saved but wasted beloved if this is who you really are right now don't be ashamed this is the biggest trick of the devil is to give us get us out of that soft heart of love it's his biggest trick that you come here let's pray right now father in the name of jesus as we sing this song we ask for a fresh baptism of love god do to us what you did to dl moody charles finney waves of liquid love fill us with fire [Music] some of you are revivalists you know you're called to apostolic preaching i want you to come up here and set a state in the ground i will not give up the love of god and the treasure of his presence [Music] [Music] fire girl [Music] [Applause] the fire [Music] [Music] i saw a picture of pastors i saw a picture of you leadership team and your worship team standing in a stadium and in the height of the glory of god coming i saw you drive a stake in the ground for love people will try to market it you know this they will try to sell it they will try to twist it and once they hand you the money they will then try to temper it and say it will go further when ihop was going [Music] 24 7 and god was resting on it even in those early days a famous actor approached us you'd be blown away if i told you his name he goes this is brilliant singing putting content to song you can indoctrinate the whole church through the singing and the anointing that's on the music and he could feel the anointing and the love and the power and he goes man [Music] he goes i'll help you take this all over the world if you'll just remove jesus out of it so the muslims the buddhists and the whole world can sing it will draw the whole world together in night and day worship and we'll be able to shape the thoughts of humanity for the next hundred years this actor was serious he goes i will drop millions we're on a facetime call and we're like um i think this is over and you need jesus [Applause] you will be surprised who approaches you and tries to steal it out of your heart god we ask you right now before this coming week when you're going to breathe on it we're going to see a great breakthrough a mighty move of the spirit a mighty packaging of the core reality of what you've entrusted that will make it go to the ends of the earth it's the beginning of the beginning of the beginning but right now lord i ask for stake driven in the ground this far and no further if it isn't baptized in your fiery revival love [Music] come holy spirit now give them that prophetic spirit that resolved that fire that unwavering fire lord i pray for the fiery fire in their eyes that when they have that raw john the baptist zeal that no one gets near them do it god let's sing that as a consecration it's going to end it i felt like i deposited i feel like it's your response it's not an altar call it's your response as a church drive the stake in the ground tonight he's about to use you this week but drive it in the ground tonight [Music] [Music] upon my heart [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] play [Music] until [Music] oh there's something [Music] come on there's nothing that we wonder [Music] there's nothing we want oh yeah [Applause] [Music] there's nothing we [Music] [Music] there's nothing we wanna do [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] there's nothing we want [Music] you jesus [Applause] come on lift up your cry in this place [Music] lift up that raw cry for his glory for his presence lord is all you're all we want here are we one lord [Music] hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah i um i certainly received the word of the lord tonight you see what we have to understand church is when god begins to speak to us like this many times when you hear something like this and it challenges us and it's a warning of the holy spirit it's easy to respond say i got this i know i'm going to be good but that's because you're not there yet [Music] see i receive everything that prophetic allen spoke of was getting ready to come on this house [Music] and we could say we we're not going to be like that we won't go that direction but you don't know because you're not there yet this is the goodness of the lord so we can prepare our hearts in advance [Music] so the whatever's ahead if it's going to try to pull us out we already been given the wisdom of the lord to drive that stake in the ground and uh so i i appreciate the word of the lord and i appreciate your hearts to respond tonight there's nothing greater we can do to sustain revival than to keep our hearts burning a burning place of love for god [Music] and i saw i think this is a really great way to close out because i think what if i understood allen wright what he was really doing he was preparing us for the conference he was seeing this he he he's saying this is what's coming after the conference and so i think we we we need to put our faith number one on what he said because i i believe this i believe god is getting ready to do a massive work of multiplication in the house [Music] and and the doors of influence are going to open not not us but the influence of revival on on the church in our nation it's going to open up and so it's during these times that we have to really guard our human guard our humility is and walk in humility and not let pride get up in our hearts it's very important and i and i've talked to our staff about this often about you know it's so easy right now to say oh don't worry we got we we'll stay humble we'll stay you know we'll stay hungry we'll stay this but we're not there yet and so i just want to put i just want to share that with you because i think it's very important that we really lay hold of the word of the lord today and i think it's very important that we always keep our love for god the priority and then our love for each other the priority and then our love for a broken hurting world the priority that no matter else where god takes us we will always love him love each other and love the world and i think that's so important because we can get so caught up in in there's so many wonderful aspects of revival there's so many wonderful aspects of being with the people of god in the house of god and the presence of god and so many wonderful things and god is doing so many wonderful things but let us keep our fires burning individually this is huge because sustainable revival isn't brought about just corporately is brought about individually and i want to just take this moment to say how important you are going to be to the conference being the the the uh coming to the level of fruitfulness that we're believing for we're going to need you to commit to that week we're going to need you to commit to being here that wednesday night as you always are for gap and then and then here thursday morning if you can come thursday morning and thursday night and go on so on and so on friday morning and saturday friday night saturday you know and all all through the whole weekend we need you here because we need what you carry and what you bring people are coming from all over of the nation to see paul and kim owens they're coming because they have heard or felt or saw something taking place in this house and if we're just here they're going to be very disappointed and so we need you to come and we don't just need you to come to watch we need you to come and bring that fire this burning on the inside of you we need you to come and bring that worship and that praise and that passion and that intensity because that's what's different that's what sets this thing apart is the intensity that you carry as a believer in this house and your prayers and your worship and all of that it's awakening a nation it's awakening it's giving hope to churches and pastors that maybe something can happen [Music] and so i just received this word i believe it's a stepping stone and a launching us toward toward the conference amen and uh and so so you have you have been in the word of the lord that god gave my wife you want to share that about the um guarding guarding the revival and guarding credibility yeah i just felt just tell the the staff uh this last week in our meeting you know the lord just just pray and ask the lord what uh we're to to discuss and impart each week to the staff and you know we meet and uh one of the things that we have to really make ourselves do is actually look at the calendar of planning we just sit there for three hours and talk about revival come on somebody and uh so i was just seeking the lord and um i don't know you know you just really don't know and i just felt the lord drop the word credibility and guard the credibility uh just credibility and you know you're kind of unsure when when you hear things i mean even you know even the more you get used to the lord just kind of unsure but i just said lord i've trusted i've learned enough now just to trust you to know that if i feel it you know that that nudge and that whatever impression i'm just gonna share it and let let it be what it is and so i just shared it with the staff and i share it with you tonight so my husband's speaking of is i just felt the lord say guard the credibility of of this revival grip guard the purity of it um it's really not the first time the lord has spoke something like that to us whether it be us personally or as a staff or even as a church but i just feel like this was before alan of course and corey came this weekend and some of the things that he alluded to tonight they spoke a little more intimately to us uh in you know over lunch and things like that and i just want to say um that we so we have my husband and i and our staff and i know all of us as revivalists here fresh start we sincerely appreciate alan what you and corey perceive and see i'm going to cry in what god has done and what god is doing here and i want to say as my husband just said maybe in a different way that we trust those who have seen something bigger and something of more capacity would be a better way to say it through what they have stewarded in in past moves of god and things through you know ihop etc and that we trust what god is speaking to them and what they're perceiving in the spirit that god is doing but what he's getting ready to do and perhaps god is using their sight and foresight to speak to us in a season when we can't fully see everything to give us parameters and boundaries and and uh little markers along the way are y'all with me amen and so we receive that tonight in that what the lord is getting ready to do we receive it by faith we receive it in humility um because as my husband just said you don't know until you're there but when someone has been there it doesn't mean our story is going to look exactly like what they have seen but yet the the substance of of what god entrusts to to us in his moves of the spirit they have been a part of that and so we welcome we welcome words like tonight and like this morning and all weekend long to equip us for where we're going but i do believe that guarding the credibility of what god is doing especially in this next season ahead is hugely important and i'm not going to say it publicly tonight and i did share with my husband and share with corey and alan there was something really just i felt like a confirmation of that in a couple of different ways that came to me and that's just kind of seems how the lord works i don't know in my life with the prophetic they'll sometimes just be bizarre confirmations that'll happen and i'm like well that's why the lord gave me that word that's just a confirmation that he really is speaking in this instance guard to credibility what does that mean pastor kim i think it means a lot of things but i think what the most important core thing is is what alan taught us tonight amen and what corey taught us this morning and that is guard the parameters of our heart guard the fire on our heart come on guard the uh guard guard all of the principles that uh corey put forth this morning and and the um the substance of what allen spoke tonight and you know i just finished writing the book doorkeepers of revival and um uh the final proof will be uh tomorrow glory to god and we'll send it off on tuesday to get the final ones printed but i only i bring that up tonight to say that our story our story of walking through these last five years is very very fresh of course in my mind and the mind of several others that have been proofing it and larry helped me write it a little bit and bill in here making my very poor grammar and southern virginia english sound good glory to god um but the story is so fresh and as alan was even speaking tonight my husband just a moment ago i was standing down there and i was like i my mind goes back because i've read it so many times over these last several weeks as as i've been previewing it to 2013 when we began our year pursuit and that's what alan was referring to tonight because he asked us that story yesterday at lunch and for those of you who were here in that season um that many years ago was when we began really begin our turn into revival but that entire year every single age group in this church we begin to turn our attention into looking to jesus and jesus alone into letting him burn in our heart we begin to talk about intimacy we begin to talk about purity we begin to talk about repentance and not just talk about it we begin to turn our hearts into it amen and it's not that we haven't talked about and preached about and done that since then but my goodness if that's ever something we need to be reminded of and do on a continual basis come on to keep the fire burning on our heart and to keep the door to revival open come on fresh start and so i'm thankful tonight uh even as my mind went back all those years and and uh that even as we took the the the launch into revival in 2015 and that building on the front of this property that's no longer there and hundreds of us crammed into that building in august when it was a hundred and ninety thousand degrees scored off and the air conditioner never worked good in that building ever hallelujah and we were all sweating but we were desperate before jesus can we lift our hands tonight come on there's so much more that i could say i know that same desperation is still in the hearts even of those of you who weren't with us in that season and you and now you're enjoying the uh the fruit of of what was dug out in that early season but let's lift our hands and most of all our hearts in this room tonight as as alan has so amazingly uh brought us back to the primary single focus of the purpose of what we do and let's ask god one more time just drop that in us tonight oh god drop that that tenacious that pursuit that uh incredible incredible uh uh tenacious pursuit of you and you alone put it in our heart god put that rawness that rawness in us come on fresh start remember the raw cry not a religious cry but a raw cry a raw cry for you come on i want to raw cry you see people people all over this nation and there are even some of them that are still awake right now they're still tuned in and they tune in because they hear the cry and they hear the roar of this house but very few of you understand where that roar was birthed and where that cry was cultivated and i'm telling you just a little bit of a little snippet of it in these three or four minutes right now it was at some real some really uh really really intense altar times where we said jesus all we want is you there's nothing more that we want we just want you and now the residue of that is the roar that you hear in this house the residue of that is the praises the residue of that is the intimacy hallelujah come on lift up your hands and say oh god we want you there's nothing we want more than you jesus come on come on [Music] there's [Music] foreign [Music] we [Music] there's nothing [Music] there's nothing we want [Music] there's nothing we want [Music] there's no [Music]
