[Music] [Applause] oh [Music] [Applause] let's give the lord a good hand praise in the house of god this morning he is worthy to be praised jesus we bless your name glory to the lord amen amen this is a special day this is the day that the lord hath made and i will rejoice and be glad in it so before we go on with the service i want you to make a decision you got to make a real decision on what kind of day that this is going to be either we can let what's going on in the world what's been happening this week just completely overwhelm us and to cause our focus to be diverted from what god has ordained for us to have or we can decide right now that we're going to have church all day long that we're going to worship the lord in spirit and in truth that we're going to experience the liberty where with christ have made us free that we're going to get into the presence of god where there is fullness of joy and that something's going to happen that's going to change us for time and eternity you don't have to leave here depressed you don't have to leave your sick in body you don't have to leave here distressed in your life there's a breakthrough here for somebody if you'll just experience it today if you make up your mind it's a decision that has to be made everybody's got to make that decision we can either go through the forms of religion we can go through the forms of worship or we can decide that we're going to get in the presence of god we can decide that we're going to enter the gates of the lord with thanksgiving and come into his courts with praise and i'm here to tell you today that the god that i serve is a real god he is a mighty god he is able to do what men call impossible is there anybody that can bear witness to the fact that our god is real he's real he is real he is real the enemy is doing everything he can to try to cloud that simple truth from the minds of americans from the minds of people in the world but the devil is a liar he's the father of it and we are determined that we're going to hold on to what the word of god says what it has revealed and it is revealed that where two or three are gathered together in his name there he is in the midst of us so i'm telling you you may not be able to see him and you can't see him but the holy ghost of god is real he is here in this room and where the spirit of the lord is there is liberty you need to be liberated today their people are in bondage that need to be set free there's people that got shackles on their mind and their soul and their emotions and they need to be set free there's freedom in this house this morning there's a deliverer in this house today there's a healer in the house this morning hallelujah glory to god amen and he hates the sun the enemy hates the sound of god's people and praise it absolutely reason he hates it is because it shoves him totally out of the premises and it just ties his hands where he cannot work the lord inhabits the praises of his people that's what the word of god says he inhabits the praise he dwells in the midst of the praise he comes down in the midst of the praise of god's people and there isn't anything that is an invitation to the adversary like god's people being silent and just stoned still and just unresponsive but i'm here to tell you today that in the midst of all the bondage and the heartache and the oppression and the turmoil that is going on in the world there is an answer for every perplexity and every complexity and every problem and it's not a something but a someone and his name is jesus and he's worthy to be praised there's a healer in the house his name is jesus there's a deliverer here this morning and his name is jesus hallelujah he's ready to work he's ready to deliver he's ready to save he's ready to heal and he's just looking for somebody that will let him operate and we'll let him work so would you just put your hands together and let god arise and let his enemies be scattered in the name of jesus hallelujah hallelujah i'm so glad that you're here this morning because you're not of the ordinary and you're not just being swept up with the trends i've got i showed brother jimmy he was in my office before service and i've got an article that stated in the latest poll 62 percent of professing christians do not believe the holy ghost is real 62 do not believe the holy ghost is real they've listened to the wrong spirit they've been deceived they're blinded but you're not blind and you're not deceived and you're in the house of the lord you're in a place today where we know the holy ghost is real i said we know that the holy ghost is real my god is real and i can feel him in my soul today glory to the lord do i have a witness how many of you can say my body is the temple of the holy ghost and something's coming out of me like a current like a divine river hallelujah out of our innermost being he said would flow rivers of living water blessed be the name of the lord glory to god hallelujah just for the devil's benefit to show him he is not in control and he hasn't won i want you to give the lord a 10 second continuous uninterrupted praise shout unto god today with the voice of triumph clap your hands all ye people let's make a joyful noise unto the lord he is great he is worthy we lift him up we praise him forever thank you jesus thank you jesus thank you jesus hallelujah would you just join me in saying the holy ghost is real say it again with your hand lifted up the holy ghost is real he's real and he's here today and he does things when he shows up the scripture said he will take the things of jesus and he'll reveal them unto us that makes him that means he makes him makes real the promises of god he was sent to this world to confirm the word with signs following how many of you are ready to experience some signs today [Music] some miraculous manifestations of the holy ghost hallelujah hallelujah he's here he's real and he wants to work in the lives of people that have gathered in this room and those that are watching us on the internet amen so you can be seated in the presence of the lord for a while but just don't get comfortable because you'll be standing up again amen we may be marching before this service is over glory to god hallelujah holy ghost service is much different from any other kind of service because it's not a funeral service a memorial service it's not a time of just going through motions and forms it is getting in the presence of god and getting free and liberated and healed and delivered and receiving ministry and sometimes people get an overflowing blessing from god and you'll see hands start to lift and you'll see people start to shout and and people will just even jump up and down in fact they may get it out in the aisles and they may do what david did when he danced before the lord with all of his might is that appropriate is that something that really should be done in a church service isn't that isn't that disrespectful no because it's not a funeral this we did not come to celebrate a dead god [Applause] we came to worship in spirit and in truth amen glory to the lord you can't find anybody out there that's dancing before the god that's not sincere somebody that's clapping their hands and in fact jesus told us when really things get bad and you really get depressed and it looks like things are just overwhelming you what you've got to do in that day is rejoice and leap for joy leap for joy why did he say that why did the lord just pinpoint that particular exercise and he wasn't talking poetically and he wasn't talking in in hyperbole he was speaking about something that had to be done literally literally this is a literal god it's a literal book it's a literal salvation everything about the god that we serve is literal [Music] amen and he wanted people to just to know you could leap out of your depression you could leap out of your anxiety you could leap out of all the oppressive powers that have been coming against you you can leap right over them because greater is he that's in us than he that is in the world so don't you get disturbed don't anybody get disturbed and don't you get shocked amen because if we come to the house of the lord and we know what's going to happen before it takes place there and we've got a agenda in our mind and we know that there's gonna be three points and a poem and a song and then we're gonna leave and go home and everybody's gonna go back to the same old same old and nothing's gonna change then we haven't been to church amen glory to the lord what i'm doing today is just priming the pump something's getting ready to happen something is getting ready to change it's getting ready to change glory to the lord hallelujah jesus was the most unconventional preacher that israel had ever seen he did things that nobody else did told people to do things that nobody else had ever told them to do saw a lame man and people would get offended in our day if you were laying there sick and somebody comes by and says take up your bed and walk hello do something totally opposite i mean he would spit on the ground and make mud put it on a blind man's eyes and told him to go wash in the pool across town people would think he was insensitive at making such statements but he knew what he was doing he was pushing people out of their comfort zone so that they could experience a miracle [Music] [Applause] glory to the lord and i feel like we're getting pushed out of our comfort zone everybody that came to the house of god and you need a miracle and you're una you're not ashamed to say i need the touch of god i need his divine intervention i want to hear you say a big a man in the house of the lord glory to the lord let's get out of our comfort zone we're going to see the unusual we're going to experience the extraordinary hey man god's about to show up and he is about to show out [Music] hallelujah praise the name of the lord glory to god hallelujah man i'm feeling victory in the house glory to the lord you're going to feel victory before it's over i'm determined i've been praying this morning i've been getting up before here early and seeking the face of god for everybody that's in the beauty you are not a surprise to me by being in the service because i've been praying for you before you ever got here and i've been praying for the lord to do something specific in your life something unprecedented in your life individually and in the life of his people together we're in troublesome times we're in perilous times we need his help today and his help is available to all of us in that name that's above every name whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be delivered that's what the promise of god is so we're going to just defeat fear this morning we're going to drive it out in jesus name and the number one fear that we're going to deal with before we deal with anything else is the fear of lack the fear of financial trouble in the name of the lord it's amazing to me it's amazing to me i mean i don't know why people watch the news i really don't i mean i want i want to stay informed nobody wants to stay informed more than me i just want to really know what's going on but i do everything i watch everything and put it in a biblical perspective i just want to see where we are in god's timeline and how quickly things are moving toward the fulfillment of bible prophecy i just listened to it for that reason but if you didn't have a biblical perspective on the news you would surely get depressed when's the last time that you heard an anchorman say everything's going to be all right everything is just wonderful things just really getting better and we're just going on and just tremendous things are happening and you're going to be blessed and prosperous and you don't have any worries why is it that there is an incentive among the tv producers to keep us worried and upset and fearful all the time hello people just really need to go to church they need to go to the right church you need to get in the holy ghost church because that's the only place you're going to hear some good news [Music] it's the only place it's going to happen good news good news it's the gospel that means good news and i've got good news for people that have paid their tithe people that are in financial partnership with god is not an option for believers it is something the lord expects out of all of us it's a command it's not a suggestion it is a command bring all the tithe into the storehouse that there may be meat in my house and prove me now herewith saith the lord if i will not open to you the windows of heaven and pour upon you a blessing that there is not room enough to receive and i will rebuke the devourer for your sake amen glory to the that's not a suggestion that is a command it is a directive and i want you to understand god knows what he's doing he knows what he's doing he didn't put that provision in the scripture so that he could bully us around he put that promise in the scripture so that we could become a partner with him and be blessed because his number one desire for all of us his people is to be blessed the lord wants you blessed i'm going to say it again so that every devil of doubt will just leave the room the lord wants you blessed he wants you blessed coming in he wants you blessed going out he wants you blessed in the city he wants you blessed in the field amen he's my creator he's my redeemer and he knows what to do to get me blessed i gotta follow his instructions so i'll be blessed gonna be obedient to him so i'll be blessed amen hallelujah you see you were wired you were created in a certain fashion after his likeness after his image and god created us sin destroyed that creation in the likeness of god in us jesus came so that we could be restored and born again and now become his children glory to the lord and he wired us in a certain way and it's amazing to me it's amazing to me that the real scientific scientists in medical science they just keep the people that were really honest and they're just not they just don't have some kind of political agenda to follow and they're just they're just not indoctrinated in certain foul teachings but people are really interested in what's going on they keep coming up with new information that just confirms what god has said in his word and i was reading about a brain surgeon a christian brain surgeon and with all the testing and all the things that they've done he has said he has said that the the pleasure centers of the brain light up when people give and said one of the most healthy things we were created to laugh to have joy and to give and when people are involved in those things it's healthy for the brain and that's the reason the scripture said long before into this study come out 2 000 years ago the word said it's more blessed to give than to receive something is healthy mentally when people give but when you pay your tithes it goes beyond just the pleasure centers lighting up it's a delight it's a joy and it is also an insurance policy to make certain that god is working ahead in time to make certain that by the time you get to next year next month or even tomorrow morning the lord is already there to provide you a table in the presence of your enemies amen we are blessed to pay tithes the devourer is rebuked because we pay tithes the windows of heaven are open because we pay tithes and i'm here to tell you in jesus name that god's people are going to live the tithers are going to live the rest of this year no matter how uncertain and shaky it is in the blessings of the lord amen [Music] hallelujah hallelujah and just in case you're worried about the thief that comes to steal and kill and destroy what the devil meant for evil our god turns for good stretch your hand toward the tithe everyone right now father we give you praise in the name of jesus for the privilege you have given us to be in the house of the lord this morning to worship you in spirit and in truth we thank you for the people that have come to your house that come with expectancy they've come to receive they've come to be touched by your outstretched hand and we asked today that in jesus name you would move upon them and bless the tither because of their obedience you said that if we're willing and obedient we shall eat the good of the land and i thank you in jesus name that you are working through the financial situation of your tithing people so that they shall have sufficiency in all things and will abound unto every good work we praise you now in jesus name for new opportunities for doors to open for favor with decision makers and that you have stood in the way of the enemy and you have kept him at bay and you are rebuking the devour for our sake in jesus name your blessed people lift up their voice to praise you for the financial blessings that are coming our way in jesus name and everybody said [Music] lord bless you [Music] make his face shine upon you be gracious to you lord turn [Music] and give you peace lord bless you and keep you make his face shine upon you be gracious to you lord turn his face toward you and give you peace sing amen [Music] is [Music] [Music] may his favor be upon you and a thousand generations your family and your children and their children and their children make his favor be upon you and a thousand generations and your family and your children and their children and their children may his favor be upon you and a thousand generations and your family and your children and their children and their children may his favor be upon you and a thousand generations and your family and your children and their children their [Music] generations and your family and your children and their children and [Music] [Music] he is with you he is with you may his presence go before you and behind you and beside you all around you and within you he is with you he [Music] he [Music] and rejoicing he is for you he is for you he is for you he is for you he is for you he is for you he is for you he is for you yes [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] we thank you jesus [Music] hallelujah hallelujah thank you lord your promises yesterday come on [Music] aren't you thankful that you're not just blessed today but you were blessed yesterday how many have a testimony he he's blessed me in my past he he's blessed me to get me to this point not just yesterday not today but for tomorrow and generations to come the blessings of god maketh rich and day because of the blessing because of the blessings amen amen amen you may be seated doesn't it feel good to be in the house of the lord on a sunday morning the devil did not want you here but you're here tell somebody next to you i've got a testimony today the word of god says we're made an overcomer by our testimony and so this morning we've got some exciting things such exciting things that are planned and it all starts this week and next sunday and and even the sunday after there's something new starting every week for the next several weeks and we're excited this is an awesome day to be serving god amen you know we could we could sit and pout and be upset because you know if you look at the national trend so many things are going against the believer so many things are going against those who stand on the word of god so many things are going against biblical principles we could sit back and find a good reason to pout you know get in the corner and just be quiet and have a defeated mindset or we could decide no we're going to use this opportunity to get closer to god and to press in for revival and to believe god that that he's going to open the heavens wider than we've ever known [Applause] the word of god says where sin abounds grace that much more abound so if you see evil being released in the world look up lift up your head because that means the heavens are about to open your redemption draws nigh god's about to open the heavens on those who are hungry is anybody here looking for him to come well before he comes we've got to look like the bride and the bride should be a church that's in revival not a defeated bride not a bride that's so you know uh just just abused and forgotten that he just comes to rescue us no the church is going to be a glorious church the bride is going to be a glorious bride caught up in the glory and in revival to the point that we're so attractive to god he says i'm not staying here any longer but i'm going to get the bride [Music] so now it's up to us are we going to go after revival are we going to go after something that we've never had or experienced or are we just going to decide no we'll just sit back and wait till things turn listen if the if the narrative in the world if what's going on in a secular world determines how hungry we are for god then we have a problem we have got to decide what goes on outside the walls of the church has nothing to do with the power and glory of god that's going to be revealed inside the church god's looking for a people that are hungry no matter what he's looking for a people that are hungry no matter the kingdom of god suffers violent but the violent do what the violent do what it's time that we take our joy back and we take our church back and we take our homes back and we take our family back and we take our finances back [Applause] so for the next few weeks you're about to see us go pedal to the metal i'm talking all in for revival not what's normal but what is beyond normal and so the lord spoke to me if a few a couple of months ago i had a meeting last sunday or last monday night over here tuesday night excuse me i had a meeting last tuesday night and i didn't know if five people would show up or or or 20 i didn't know but we had around 40 people that showed up who are going to be part of a core team amen they're going to be part of a core team we're starting something called revival nights it starts next sunday night now we're going to be here tonight tonight's going to be just you know the lead up to it tonight's going to be us getting ready for it but next sunday night we're going all in with this we're changing the format of how church starts of how church begins what goes on before church because we're going after revival no revival has ever in the history of of of the world and that no revival has ever been released on the church without first a an absolute focus on prayer it all starts with prayer and so we're going to start at 5 30 is when prayer is going to start beginning next sunday night the format's going to change completely because we're going to start with prayer in that prayer room and it's going to invade this sanctuary and then from there we'll start service and worship and it's not going to be like anything you've ever experienced before i broke all this down last tuesday night in our meeting and many were able to come some weren't if you weren't able to come join me tonight i'm gonna give a 30-minute overview of it at 4 30 over here in the fellowship hall at 4 30 tonight if you want to be part of this team and there's there's too much to break down right now join me over here at 4 30 because next sunday night we're going after revival it's not about a man it's not about flesh it's not about some guest preacher thank god we got guest preachers thank god we have guest ministers this is about going after god no matter what but the good news is you don't even have to wait until next sunday night if you want to be part of it kelly's starting a class that goes right with this it's called generation revival how many know that if we do not show the generation that is i won't say behind us but that's younger than us if we don't show them what revival looks like they'll never know do you know why i know what revival looks like because my parents and my grandparents showed me because they jumped into it and if we don't jump into it and if we lose our fire then that fire will never be passed down so i i believe this the way we get the young people on fire is we get on fire the way the way we get the young people to to grasp and get it and understand it is whenever they see us getting it an understanding when we put it first and foremost so kelly's going to going to tell you a little bit about what's going on tomorrow night all right i'm so excited and you know if we want something we've never had before we have to do something we've never done amen we can always we can coast as christians we can just coast on on cruise control and just set it and just go where we've been all the time what we've seen before we can just kind of stay right there but you know what god takes us from glory to glory to glory and i don't know about you but i don't want to coast i want to go from glory to glory to glory i want something i've never had i want to see something i've never seen i want to say things i've never said because i want to go higher in his kingdom and deeper i want to dive in on the deep end amen and on monday night tomorrow night we're starting the class at seven o'clock and i'm not sure exactly what room we'll be in please sign up in the back so that i can kind of figure that out but we'll we'll direct you there but the the class is here at lighthouse at this church and we want all of you to come it's for every age it's for men and women everybody come we have some young people coming and we're so excited about that and so i just want you to come because this is the generation revival classes are going to feed right into our sunday night revival meetings you're going to learn how to function in revival how to have revival in your heart in your home in the church how to move in spiritual gifts how to be used in the supernatural realm and you're gonna love it and we're gonna see it happen in our classes and it's just gonna overflow into here and you know things that i've been praying for and i'll share more about this tomorrow night but things that i've been praying for to happen are already happening we see it already happening there's things that jonathan and i just talked about that people are coming up to us and saying this is happening in my heart right now and this is what i'm desiring this is what i'm hungering god is already doing it so i want all of you to be there i want you to jump in the class is free come on that's that's good deal all right so make a sacrifice do everything you can to be there amen amen two weeks from tonight two weeks from tonight sister sherry is starting a class on sunday night and it will be at five o'clock over here and it will lead up into everything all this everything we're doing is all working together it's foundations of the faith and listen whether you're a new convert or it's been a while since maybe you've gone over some of the the foundations listen if we don't have a foundation what are we standing on every single thing that that we say do or believe should be based somewhere in scripture we don't get to come up with new theories and ideas about the bible unless it's confirmed by the scripture we stand on the scripture we don't stand on theory listen the world is making an absolute fool of themselves coming up with theory after theory after theory that's failing and failing and failing because they can't figure out a virus and they can't figure out of the economy and they can't figure anything else out but thank god we have the scripture to stand on amen [Applause] and that's what this that's what this class is about it's going to be at five o'clock you can sign up for that in there that starts two weeks from tonight sunday night september 26th with sheri summers it's going to be exciting amen let me tell you about one more exciting thing and then i'll try to uh move on um how many remember our pastor's book i believe it was two 000 and help me out 13 when he wrote it 10 10 whoa time flies when you're getting old how many remember when you wrote this book the goshen factor the goshen factor okay this book has i don't know it's one of those things that every time i think well you know there's really not that much more interest in it it's time we get a call from another church we get a call from other people i get emails people are still purchasing it you can purchase it if you go to goshenfactor.com but i didn't come up here to make an advertisement for this book this book was written back then in 2013. about april of last year god gave our pastor uh a message that was entitled the elijah factor and the lord spoke to some people the van meters and some people that were were here that it's time to put that into a book and so we got the ball rolling and i want to just show you the cover because it's already been sent to print the elijah factor amen that's going to be coming by the first of the year maybe even before christmas we'll find out but it's been sent off to the publisher we worked uh and signed the the contract and did all that in the past couple weeks and i'm so excited because god's doing so many things one church called and already already wanted to order 250 books they're giving them to everyone in their church come on give god praise the word's getting out the word is getting out amen so so many exciting things and uh that i didn't even get to mention and i'll just do this real fast october 24-26 is our healing crusade billy burke is coming listen they'll come from everywhere you need to mark it on your calendars don't miss this outpouring of healing with billy burke how many were at the billy burke meeting before one of the other he's been here a few times how many how many were not here you you weren't here you you weren't you are in for something special find people that need a healing because the lord raised him up under kathryn kuhlman healed him under katherine coleman's ministry and he still carries that mantle if you've been listening to the preaching from this pulpit then you know mantles don't leave the earth and he still carries the mantle of catherine coolman just like elisha carried the spirit of elijah and so we need to to get the people here help me get the word out there's plenty of posters in the front help me spread it on social media we need to get the word out so the sick can come and be healed you want to see people get saved show them when somebody gets healed you want you want to see people get saved get in revival and they'll want what you have see the marketing stuff and all that stuff is that can feel the feel the pews and feel the buildings with crowds we don't want crowds we want people who are in revival and then let that be where it spreads from amen and so all these things are a vision and and and things that god gave us there's no telling where we'll be by the first of the year amen are you excited about what god is doing amen amen i want to give you an opportunity to give to give into revival to sow into all the things that that god is doing here at the lighthouse i told you a couple weeks ago we're replacing that wall back there because dad started preaching about walls falling back at camp meeting and since he did we've had two buildings in town fall and now that wall is trying to fall that portable wall that portable wall was put there in 1992 i believe it was and so it's served a good life and so it's about sixty five hundred dollars we raised about two thousand dollars all right about is about seven thousand dollars we raised two thousand before i even brought it to you and then someone or not someone you last week gave another 2 000. so we're getting closer let's finish that off this morning let's get that paid for it's already been ordered it's going to be about six weeks before weeks before it gets here but i'm believing that we're going to have more than enough to do all these types of things because we're ready to host revival amen amen i want you to amen i want you to get your offering this morning if you give big you will receive big if you're so big you will heart you will reap a big harvest father today we thank you that as we give we sow seed we put

of the of the sanctuary amen let's have church see you tonight six o'clock [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] nothing but by jesus christ [Music] must be a beautiful place [Applause] [Music] hallelujah [Music] don't you wanna go [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] i'm on my way don't you want to go [Music] [Music] must be a beautiful place [Music] [Applause] must be a beautiful [Laughter] [Music] everybody give the lord a good hand praise [Music] praise god you may be seated in his presence and open the word of the lord with me to the book of ezra ezra the ninth chapter ezra chapter nine we are in a shemeta year we are in a sabbatical year this is the year on the jewish calendar in the hebrew calendar the biblical calendar that was set aside as a very special time for god's people to rest with all the turmoil that is going on in our land and our nation and around the world right now i think that you would agree with me that the number one thing that we need is the people of the lord is a divine supernatural rest when we're talking about breast when the scripture talks about rest it's not referring to sleeping it is referring to release and relief and that the conditions that have brought such oppression are changed and that is what the shemeta year of the sabbatical year was all about it was about a change and i'm believing god for supernatural changes to happen during this appointed time this particular passage of scripture that i'm going to read to you contains a prayer of ezra that was prayed in a shemeta year in a sabbatical year he was concerned he was disturbed in fact the whole enterprise of restoration of the nation of israel and restoring jerusalem all of that was put in jeopardy because there was just so much influence from the outside world that was coming in the whole work of god the whole work of restoration was about to be sabotaged and ezra made it a matter of prayer we read what he said in the eighth verse he's speaking to the lord and he says and now for a little space grace have been shown from the lord our god to leave us a remnant to escape and to give us a nail in his holy place that our god may lighten our eyes and give us a little reviving in our bondage for we were bombing yet our god had not forsaken us in our bondage he hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of persia to give us a reviving to set up the house of our god and to repair the desolations thereof and to give us a wall in judah and in jerusalem i feel that it is tremendously important today that in this particular year with the conditions that are crowding around us that we lift up our voice as god's people and say what we must have at this particular time is a little reviving in the midst of all this bondage and that's what i'm going to minister about this morning with the help of the holy ghost would you bow your heads with me for prayer just now father we thank you for the privilege you have given us again to stand before your people to minister the word of the lord on this your day in your house among your people we pray that the blessings of god that maketh rich and you added no sorrow with it shall become reality as the word of the lord is preached today i thank you for those that are watching us on the internet and have joined this service all across the nation and we pray now that in jesus name truth shall be conveyed that is so powerful that it sets the captive free that your spirit will confirm your word with signs following and we today shall experience and behold the glory of the lord on a scale that goes beyond anything we've ever known touch us with power to minister your word and grant today that people shall be saved as a result healed as a result delivered as a result of your preached word this morning and for this we give you praise as we ask it in that name that is above all names the mighty name of jesus our king and our god and all the people of the lord said together amen earlier this week a new year began on the hebrew calendar you see our calendar is a western calendar which is calculated on the earth's rotation around the sun and the numerical dates that we have are numbered from the supposed date of the lord's birth at bethlehem that's the explanation of our western calendar before political correctness and wokeness corrupted everything around us time was measured by the year of the lord it was annal deminio it was 2021 a.d or the year of our lord or it was bc meaning before christ but liberals and atheists and socialists found that distinction to be too offensive so the terms were changed to ce which means the common era or bce that means before the common era with no acknowledgment of the lord at all the hebrew calendar according to the rabbis is dated from the estimated time of creation their calendar is lunar not solar as ours is and is calculated from the appearance of the new moon in conjunction with the seasons and according to their calendar this is the year 5782 and it began on monday night at sundown there are mistakes in both the jewish and the gentile calendars they have been changed so many times down through the centuries that years have been lost some believe that as many as four years have been lost in our present western calendar and as many as 155 years have been lost in the hebrew calendar the accuracy of the hebrew calendar is much in debate among jewish scholars but the seasons remain the same and the days which begin the new year are not in dispute the new hebrew year began this week and it's highly significant because as i often have said it's a shemeta year or sabbatical year every seven years god stipulated that the land was to rest and the peoples were to acknowledge his lordship over the land once again that was the whole purpose of the sabbatical year of the shemeta year to acknowledge the lordship of god over the land the people of israel were never to come to believe that they were in total ownership of their land of their inheritance it was given to them by divine decree and god never relinquished his ownership over the land and that is what the lesson is going to be put again in people around the world this earth is not ours the earth is the lord's and the fullness thereof the shemeta here had the distinction of being called the year of release say that with me the year of release and ought to do something in your spirit today to know that we're talking about the word of god that is of no respect or a person that god we serve is of no respecter of persons and his word is of no private interpretation there is an application for us about the year of release and just to say the word release and know that god has appointed a time for it to happen just makes my soul happy today this is the year of release deuteronomy chapter 31 and verse 10 the word of the lord said this and moses commanded them saying at the end of every seven years in the solemnity of the year of release in the feast of tabernacles when all israel has come to appear before the lord thy god and the place where he shall choose his name thou shalt read this law before all israel in their hearing this year is designated and has been for centuries as a time when people go back to the word the land was to lay follow debts were to be canceled people were released from bondage and the people were to survive an old store which means that food had been stored up from the previous year they had been blessed they had a triple blessing in the sixth year of the seven year cycle so that when the seven year came they could eat an old store they would survive they would be blessed there was no disruption in the blessing that came to god's people because they acknowledged again the lordship of god over the land the old testament ordinance was specifically for the land of israel but as i've said before and will emphasize in this message this morning it contains spiritual truth for all of us who are in covenant with the god of abraham isaac and jacob amen hallelujah now if you're not in covenant with the lord then let's have an altar call so that you can get in covenant with god if you're not in covenant with him you need to search your life and understand that just a nice affection toward god is not enough and just church attendance is not enough and going through the motions and forms is not enough you've got to be born again you have got to have a relationship with him you have to really know that he is not just your savior but he is your lord and you cannot come into relationship with god unless you are willing to make covenant with him a covenant with god means that we're sold out to him and he is totally committed to us to be in covenant with god means that he has complete control over the direction of our life we don't choose our own lifestyle but we follow what he has ordained for us to have we live the life that he's ordained we have the abundant life because it's his life that has lived in us can i hear somebody say amen to be in covenant with god means that i have access to all of his resources are you hearing me today and it's a mighty god that i serve today he is so powerful that he can do everything and anything that is needed for his people when we need it he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to his power that works in us hallelujah you gotta get in covenant with him you can't survive unless you're in covenant with him there is no overcoming condition situations and circumstances unless you have got a valid vital ongoing covenant with god and the god that we serve is the god of abraham the god of isaac and the god of jacob the blessings that he has given to those who follow the god of abraham isaac and jacob encompass every area of our life every condition every situation i want you to know somebody somebody that's distressed this morning if you get in covenant with god he's got your problem covered he's a covenant with god in the only relationship that he ever acknowledges the only relationship with him that is legitimate is a covenant relationship somebody say amen and he has spoken to those that are in covenant with him that there has to be a periodic time of release and acknowledgement of his lordship the old testament ordinance was specifically for the land of israel and as we look at that covenant and at the year of release there is an application for us in this day and time the emphasis is still the same it's the lordship of god over the land the shemitah year was a time for a new acknowledgement of his lordship not just over the land but over the people over the forces of nature over the environment over the economy over everything oh i feel the holy ghost today and telling you that jesus is lord every knee is going to bow to him one day and every tongue is going to confess that he is lord to the glory of god the father in the name of the lord i want you to just stop for a moment and acknowledge the fact he is lord he's lord over your finances he's lord over your children he's lord over your health he's lord over your mind he's lord over your emotions he's lord over your time he's lord over everything can somebody just put your hands together and give god praise that jesus christ his lord just acknowledge his lordship by putting your hands together this morning hallelujah but this is the time that god has said to his covenant people you are in a year of release the year of the lord's release meant freedom from every form of oppression there was release from financial pressure there was release from stress and strain and the continual grind of everyday living survival in that gear of release did not depend on the labor of their own hand but they survived and they thrived an old store or the abundance of divine provisions which god had given them in great prosperity i want you to know something today please be happy with me in understanding that if you're in covenant with god he has ordained for you to have an abundant supply in the year of release hallelujah hallelujah when people fall in love with jesus you cannot imagine how that the holy ghost just keeps increasing and amplifying your knowledge of him today i want you to know something in the years that i've lived for the lord he's my savior he's my baptizer he's my sanctifier he's my lord he's my healer he's the high priest who is touched with the feelings of our infirmity he's alpha and omega he's the beginning in the ending he's the first and the last he is the captain of my salvation he's the author and the finisher of my faith he's wonderful and counselor and the mighty god and the everlasting father and the prince of peace he's the rose of sharon he's the lily of the valley he's the bright and the morning star hallelujah he lifted me up from a horrible pit and set my feet on the solid rock and he established my goings and one of the things that he is to all of his covenant people is he's our kinsmen redeemer say that word kinsman redeemer you need to put that in all of the things that jesus is to us he's our kinsmen redeemer we would know what a kinsmen redeemer was unless we had the book of ruth ruth was a gentile she was not in covenant with god she was not born to a jewish family she had to come and follow her mother-in-law to the land of israel and learn about the god of abraham isaac and jacob she was so poor that the only way that they could survive was to go to somebody's field and glean the leftovers nobody could rape the corner of their fields it was given to the poor according to the law of god that was in effect at that particular time but a kinsman redeemer somebody that would see somebody in such situations and circumstance and say i want to change their life i want to deliver them from their oppression that kinsman redeemer had the power to deliver well there was a kinsmen redeemer in the book of ruth and his name was boaz and he saw ruth out there there was laboring in the field and said that poor woman is just trying to keep body and soul together but i want to deliver her from that condition i want to set her free from that poverty and that curse so he said to his workman you see that woman that's out there she is coming this direction you mark her steps you find out where she's going you look at the direction that she's taken in my field and you just pile up in your hands every piece of grain that you can and put them in her path you put handfuls on purpose in her way and i want you to understand that in this day of such trouble and such peril we've got a kinsman redeemer who has already been through the next 12 months of this new year and he's piled up blessings he's piled up healings he's piled up deliverances he's piled up victories he's piled up breakthroughs well i wish i had a church to preach to today people that are in covenant with god have a kinsmen redeemer that meets all of our needs according to his riches and glory to the lord our real praise really praise him hallelujah hallelujah so that chemical year that sabbath year is when god wanted all of his people to understand i have piled up blessings for you blessings you didn't work for blessings that you don't merit but my grace will be sufficient somebody say amen the cemented year was designed to be a time of waiting on god it was to be a year of spiritual emphasis waiting on the lord is something that people seldom ever do now we're so busy we are so taken up with so much stress and trouble in our daily life that we seldom wait on him but waiting on the lord you see it's not like going to a doctor's office and being told to sit down until we call your name waiting oh god this is not a waiting room there's anything that i despise any more than just standing in line and the older i get the more i hate it hello don't you look so innocent well i confess my sins today come on you get up and leave now we'll all know that you got hit hello amen waiting on him waiting on the lord is not standing and doing nothing waiting on the lord is like a waitress who is waiting on tables it's like a butler who is waiting on his employer waiting on god means getting busy for him studying to show ourselves approved in the lord cultivating a prayer life that's waiting on god and they that prayed upon the lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint david knew the benefits of waiting on god so he wrote this in the 27th psalm and the 14th verse wait on the lord be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart wait i say on the lord he was so enamored with the glorious benefits and blessings that come on waiting on god that the holy spirit inspired him to write another psalm in psalm 37 and 34 wait on the lord and keep his way and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land when the wicked are cut off thou shalt see it you're gonna have to excuse me this morning because i am not blown i am not pushing the panic button but i am blowing the trumpet in zion and i am sounding the alarm i have a definite desire to see the wicked cut off [Music] and they that way on the lord have that promise when the wicked are cut off thou shalt see it and david said i've seen the wicked in great power and spreading himself like a green bay tree yet he passed away and lo he was not yeah i sought him but he could not be found the wickedness and the wicked agents are about to be removed when people decide i'm gonna wait on the lord i'm going to emphasize him i'm going to focus on him i'm going to have a year and a time of spiritual emphasis and the lord is going to fight our battles and everything is about to be rearranged it's been pointed out that ignoring god's purpose for this sabbatical year or any sabbatical year brings judgment instead of blessing israel learned that painful lesson because they ignored 70 sabbatical years and because of their their ignoring and their rebellion and resisting and turning from god to idols they suffered judgment and for 400 for 70 years they were in captivity 70 years israel refused to observe the sabbatical year and after 70 sabbatical cycles passed without the proper acknowledgement of god's lordship the assyrians and babylonians were permitted to destroy their land and survivors were sent for 70 years into captivity the time that should have been a blessing to israel became a time of reckoning and accountability and judgment when god has resisted when his word is ignored the time that he is ordained to be a time of blessing becomes a time of judgment the history of ancient israel serves as an example to the nations that a time of reckoning and reaping always comes when the word of the lord is ignored and disobeyed and hear me this morning our nation was founded by our pilgrim forefathers when they made a covenant with god in the year 1620 and that covenant stated here's the beginning of it quote for the glory of god and the advancement of the christian faith for the glory of god and the advancement of the christian faith they brought this nation before it ever was a nation before it ever was a country it was brought into a covenant relationship with god there are covenant blessings but there are also covenant judgments but like ancient israel before us america 401 years later has repeatedly broken abandoned and violated the covenant until god's lordship over the land is mocked and ridiculed and blasphemously rejected so this sabbatical year like shemeta years in the past does not bode well for our country last wednesday i gave a list of dramatic upheavals that have occurred in the last two centuries during shemeta years that list includes stock market crashes economic recessions and depression world wars and abominations such as the roe v wade decision that legalized abortion and the supreme court decision that legalized same-sex marriage all of that happened in a shemeta year yesterday the nation paused to remember the attack on the twin towers 20 years ago that also happened at the end of a shemeta year and this sabbatical year is poised to be a year of dramatic upheaval the 10 largest reservoirs in california are dangerously low they are importing water right now into meadocino county the two largest lakes in california are at 23 and 24 capacity wildfires in bone dry conditions continued to rage throughout the west coast a cataract category four hurricane slammed the gulf coast and caused historic flooding in the northeast the death toll keeps rising from that devastation and now another hurricane is spinning in the atlantic potentially more destructive than the last one and its trajectory is now estimated to hit the northeast haiti is devastated from a powerful earthquake and a potential hurricane is forming right now in the gulf of mexico meteorologists say that the number of tropical storms and hurricanes run well ahead of average this year last year was a record year for tropical storms and hurricanes and this year is only three storms away from breaking that record predictions are that this season will see three to five major storms and jesus said that one of the sure signs that we're living in the end times is the sea and the waves will roar this chamber year begins as our nation reels under military defeat by the most sadistic terrorists on the planet a 20-year war was lost as 85 billion dollars of sophisticated military equipment was simply surrendered to our enemies hundreds of americans are still left behind to be hostages and our government calls such a shameful retreat quote an extraordinary success and compliments the taliban for their professional and business-like conduct of the withdrawal their business-like conduct cost the lives of 13 of our soldiers and critically injured 40 civilians china has now moved in to afghanistan to fill the void left by retreating american forces all that was accomplished was to facilitate the chinese takeover of even more countries in the orient china is emerging to fulfill the prophecy of revelation 16 and 12 and become the kings of the east with an ambition for world control the statements that china state-run news media is making should alarm every american they are no longer secret about their intentions to defeat and control our country this wednesday at the beginning of a shemeta year this wednesday china's global times a propaganda tool of the communist party published an op-ed from its editorial board vowing that china's military will soon confront the united states in a hostile exchange this is the exact quote from that article quote the united states will definitely see the people's liberation army show up at its doorstep in the not-too-distant future once the situation gets out of control between china and the united states we must give full play to our home field advantage china will definitely win once there is a war end of quote this is not mere saber rattling or diplomatic brickmanship china has ships off our west coast troops in canada and in mexico a u.s destroyer sailed 12 miles from a heavily militarized island in the south china sea that china claims as its own they have constructed a runway on that island for their nuclear fighters and they use it as a base for launching planes which very shortly will be used in their invasion of taiwan china claims territorial waters that reach malaysia the philippines vietnam taiwan and indonesia in other words china claims the entire orient they are the kings of the east predicted in the scripture and they have a puppet regime in the white house that makes them feel confident that they can win a war and jesus told us there shall be wars and rumors of wars jesus told us that mysterious diseases he called it pestilence that's how it's written in the king james would be one of the major signs that is coming was near for 14 months now our country has been watching helplessly as our freedoms were sacrificed to a virus a thriving economy was destroyed and almost every sector of the country came to a standstill now those vested interests that finance this bio weapon from a communist chinese laboratory are determined to keep the panic going by dumping even more viruses upon us which means more lockdowns more mandates more shots there is the delta variant the wu variant now the nympha variant and i hear about another variant that is coming from africa so all of these variants all of these viruses they're all taking place at one time and the lord told us that this would be the condition that would exist just before he returns he said that there would be pestilences like there would be earthquakes in diverse places we have more viruses to deal with than what we've ever had to deal with before i don't believe that it is just a product of nature it really reveals it really indicates that something is going on and we are in the midst of bio-weapon warfare at this hour what do we do is the people of god as the people of god people that are in covenant with him our covenant with god suspends and overruns every kind of condition that the enemy will bring upon the world are you listening to me today our covenant with god said that by his stripes we are healed our covenant with god said he that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty i will say of the lord he's my refuge not everybody can say that but if you're blood washed and spirit-filled today you can say he's my refuge and my fortress my god in him will i trust surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the noise and pestilence he shall cover you with his feathers and under his wings shall you trust his truth shall be your shield and your buckler and you'll not be afraid for the arrow that fly by day no for the terror by night no for the pestilence that wasted that noon day no for the destruction but a thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand but it shall not come nigh thee that scripture doesn't say that we won't be attacked that scripture says that god will fight back that scripture says that the lord will put us in a sheltered place he will put us in a refuge and no plague will be successful against god's redeemed and i heard somebody say amen i'm standing on that promise he sent his word to heal and to deliver from all destruction i preached funerals for ministers that have been attacked by that virus and they were taken out by that virus but somebody's gonna have to stand up and draw the line and say enough is enough amen the chemical year wasn't even a week old when the man in the white house announced his six-point plan that threatens businesses and individuals in his quest to force everyone to submit to an experimental vaccine or lose their job mr biden singled out the hundred million americans as enemy number one who are suspicious of the vaccine because of the numbers of people who have died from it or been injured by the shots he blamed those americans for the pandemic and he spoke like a tyrant when he said quote we've been patient but our patience is wearing thin end of quote he made a scapegoat out of the unvaccinated as other dictators have done to their opposition when he said quote your refusal has cost all of us and then he had the audacity to accuse those who refuse the shot for quote making people sick causing the unvaccinated to die end of coat but that's patently untrue it was just an attempt by this dangerous man to create hysteria and impose government control on a scale that no american has ever seen before mr biden underscored in his speech that he is not concerned about quote freedom or personal choice and under the guise of public health he's undermining liberty and exerting unprecedented government control martin guldorff is a harvest medical harvard medical school epidemiologist and he's an advisor to florida governor desantis he said quote the white house pandemic plan does not recognize that prior covet disease gives stronger lasting immunity than vaccines he said it is a stretch to call it science 114.6 million americans have recovered from the virus from february 2020 to march 2021 and they have natural antibodies that according to studies coming out of israel are 27 times more effective than any vaccine dr kuldorf dr koldorf said concerning young people with healthy immune systems that it is quote absurd that the white house pandemic planners mandates vaccines for low risk working people end of quote the survival rate among infected children according to the cdc's own statistics is 99.998 percent but yet the program is to vaccine everybody's children before they go to school a new study reported last thursday in the telegraph of london found young males are six times more likely to suffer from heart problems caused by the vaccines that be hospitalized from the virus there is myrocarditis heart inflammation disease blood clots stroke and a paralyzing nerve disease called gideon beret syndrome all of this remains possible grave side effects from the shot a researcher at the university of california davis concluded after an analysis of national databases that the risk to children ages 12 to 17 outweighs any benefit that may come from vaccines yet there's pressure for every school-aged child to be vaccinated listen there is good reason to be suspicious about this vaccine first i'm suspicious about any medication or vaccine that the manufacturers won't stand behind before big pharma ever began production in the vaccine they first received assurances from the government that they could not be sued for any deaths or injuries i'm suspicious when the government and big tech censor any negative research or information about the vaccine that doesn't fit in with their narrative i'm suspicious when the deadly side effects of this vaccine are minimized or kept from the public i'm suspicious when government agencies have been repeatedly caught lying about the virus the vaccines and take out of context the numbers of victims it's serious it is serious but it's not the bubonic plague yet they want us to believe that it is and that the vaccine is the only cure but the vaccine is not a cure it doesn't even stop the virus in israel the world's most vaccinated country the majority of covet cases are among the fully vaccinated in britain forty percent of the coveted cases are among the fully vaccinated the european medicines agency openly acknowledged this week that there are 833 cases of guillain-barre syndrome from the vaccines even the cdc has had to admit that the vaccines do not prevent the spread of the delta variant which comprises nearly 100 percent of current cases according to health authorities the vaccine's effectiveness against the virus wanes within eight months so a booster shot is necessary and then another one and another one and another one and where does it all stop i am suspicious when all the medicines that prove effective in combating the virus like ivermectin and hydrochloroquine are denigrated and close to being banned by the same people who are pushing the vaccines and i am suspicious when a multi-billionaire eugenist who believes the earth is overpopulated and the numbers of people must be reduced and boasted six years ago that he would do it through vaccines and abortion is an integral part of these vaccine programs all of that makes me wonder the man in the white house promised last december that he would not impose vaccine mandates his exact words were these i wouldn't demand it be mandatory just like i don't think masks have to be made mandatory nationwide but this week at the beginning of a shemeta year he did what he said he would not do destroying freedom shredding the constitution and imposing a nazi communist-like tyranny that will surely finish off this country he announced on thursday that the department of labor will force small businesses to fire their employees if they refuse to get the shot 80 million americans will have to submit to these experimental vaccines with possible lethal side effects or lose their job businesses with a hundred employees or more must submit to be a tool of the government or force vaccines and forcing vaccines or be fined fourteen thousand dollars for every employee listen you may not realize it but what just happened is very clear the government has just claimed authority over the bodies and minds of american citizens you no longer can think for yourself you no longer can decide for yourself if you want to work and have a means of supporting yourself and your family then according to the tyrant of the white house you must submit your body to the control of the government and as a student of bible prophecy for over 50 years i can tell you that there is no difference between what biden did on thursday with this vaccine than what the antichrist will do with his mark in the middle of the tribulation none whatsoever we are uncomfortably close to the prophesied mark of the beast the ability to live work buy or sell is now determined by the government mr biden actually declared war on the hundred million americans that refused the shot and while his administration calls terrorists in afghanistan who behead torture and burn people alive professional and business-like he blames unvaccinated americans for killing people and says your refusal has cost all of us the vaccinated listen the vaccinated are not threatened by the unvaccinated if the vaccine worked then those people who got the shot are supposed to be protected the whole purpose of the vaccine is to keep people from catching the virus and if they can catch it from the unvaccinated people then the shot doesn't work and who is to say that the shot isn't really spreading the virus if the vaccine offers no protection from the virus then there must be some other reason that the government wants to force people to get it if the vaccine doesn't prevent the virus from spreading then why does the government want to force everyone to take it in a washington post abc poll just out 72 of unvaccinated people said they will quit their jobs rather than take the shot [Music] saturday this last saturday at a press conference in san diego led by rachel hamm a conservative candidate for california's secretary of state announced a nationwide peaceful protest to police officers firefighters medics education educators and parents to walk off their jobs and flood social media to defy mr biden's orders it's called hashtag the great american walkout lewis county hospital in louisville new york announced that there will be no baby deliveries at their hospital until further notice because maternity ward employees quipped their jobs rather than take the jab in mr biden's speech on thursday he vowed to usurp the authority of state governors and quote use his power to get them out of the way but 19 governors are pushing back on this totalitarian power grab south dakota's christy norm said quote we will stand up to defend freedom arizona's governor doug ducey said this is outrageous we must and will push back alaska governor mike dunleavy quote if there was ever a case for the 24th amendment that removes a president for middle incompetence this is it [Applause]

the former white house chief of staff and he said quote mr biden is a lawless president look at what has happened in the past eight months a presidential election was stolen false charges of insurrection were leveled at protesters on capitol hill and when those protesters trespassed an unarmed woman was shot our southern border has been destroyed and millions of illegals have crossed into the country inflation has resurfaced and put the economy in peril we just lost a 20-year war with terrorism and created a safe haven for the most evil and notorious groups on the planet 83 billion dollars of sophisticated weapons and arms were given to our enemies abortion is once again funded by our tax dollars and now a tyrannical order that eliminates our most basic right and forces the entire country to bow to the socialist agenda at this pace we will not survive three and a half years to the next presidential election so now is the time for urgent deliberate effectual fervent prayer that's a real week's applause i'm telling you the only answer that we've got is we've got to pray in some changes we got to pray some people out we got to pray some people in it's going to take a whole lot of effectual fervent prayer we got to have the lord's help we're not going to make it if we don't have god's help ezra was faced with many of the same dangers that confront us in our time a remnant group of jews returned to the destroyed homeland after 70 years of captivity there was desolation destruction in ruin that's what they found when they returned back home but the remnant returned to rebuild and to experience a time of divine restoration and fulfillment of prophecy god gets spoken concerning the captivity and what would happen afterward and he said in jeremiah 29 and 10 for thus saith the lord after 70 years be accomplished at babylon i'll visit you and perform my good word to you in causing you to return to this place and ezra recognized the effort of the enemy in his time to try to sabotage bible prophecy and cancel out the time of restoration we are faced with the same peril the enemy has not changed strategy since ezra's days the lord has promised us a time of restoration god spoke to his church to believers knowing that we would experience some devastation that there would be desolation and false prophets and false teachings and he said that before jesus comes there will be a time when god restores to the church everything that they had lost over time in acts 3 and 20 the word of god said and he shall send jesus christ which before was preached unto you whom the heavens must receive unto the times of restoration of all things which god has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the age began hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah we've not been forgotten the lord knew about our condition and situation centuries before we were ever born and he gave certain promises that he would perform in our days it shall come to pass in the last days saith god i'll pour my spirit out upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men will dream dreams and i will pour out of my spirit in those days hallelujah the pouring out of the holy ghost does not mean that you get a new tinge and a new appreciation for the things of the lord it means that god's divine power in all of its pristine purity and glory is going to be manifested to the church again so that these signs will follow them to believe in my name they'll cast out devils they'll speak with new tongues they'll take up serpents if they drink any deadly thing it shall not harm them they shall lay hands on the sick and they will recover god said i'm gonna restore the gifts to the church the power to the church the glory to the church the joy to the church the joy of the lord is our strength i'm not talking about little tinge of happiness and satisfaction but the joy of the lord that is set abroad in our heart by the holy ghost and the joy of the lord is our strength you can run through a troop and leap over a wall if you have the joy of the holy ghost operative in your life somebody give the lord a shout of praise these are the days of restoration save with me everybody these are the days of restoration glory to the name of the lord do you know what the early church did when they were faced with a crisis and a problem that they couldn't solve and they had no ability to change when peter was arrested when he was put in the inner prison when they said we're going to execute him the next day how they responded to that threat was that they called a prayer meeting at mary's house and they earnestly prayed it wasn't a 10-minute prayer it wasn't a 15-minute prayer they got into prayer it wasn't just a request it wasn't just a mouthing of words they got into a spirit of prayer they got into a spirit of travail and a spirit of intercession and they got so much in prayer that they couldn't even recognize the knock at the door while they were praying god said do you hear me somebody's going to hear me while they were praying god sent an angel while they were praying god sent an answer but they were praying god sent the deliverance while they were praying god sent the victory they didn't even know it till the knock came at the door there was something going on while they were calling on the name of the lord that angel went to peter who was guarded by 16 soldiers he was bound hand and foot they had shackles on his wrist and shackles on his ankles but when he was sleeping peacefully knowing that the next day if his enemy succeeded in taking his life he was just gonna go see jesus he had peace to pass to all understanding and the angel woke him up tapped him on the shoulder and said get up peter peter got up and the shackles fell off follow me peter peter walked and there was a great iron door nobody could open that door nobody could get past that door but the scripture said that the iron gate opened of its own accord hallelujah you better hear me today god moves when people pray when his people call upon him angels are dispatched and situations change and breakthroughs happen the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man still avails much oh jesus hallelujah hallelujah glory to the lord when you get america when you get a breakthrough when you get a victory don't think it's strange when you get slapped down peter james they had just come out of the upper room just been filled with the holy ghost the day of pentecost had passed and after go of god's anointing was still upon them they walked past a lame man at the beautiful gate of the temple and said to him silver and gold have we none but such as we have give i thee in the name of jesus christ of nazareth rise up and walk and peter was so confident that healing was going to come that he grabbed the man and raised him to his ankles nobody had ever done that before what would you do if you came to church and some preacher grabbed you out of the pew picked him up the man didn't even know he was healed until peter picked him up and when he got up he did something that he never had done in his whole life he stood on his own two feet oh god give us a demonstration of the holy ghost that will cause people to stand up on their own too hallelujah hallelujah it was a new experience for him he had to try it out he started wiggling his toes and moving his feet around you see back in that time if you had any kind of physical malady at all you were considered unfit to go into the temple of god he had never been in the temple he'd never seen the inside of it all he could do was get to the gate that was as close as he could get just to beg people to give him an alms when they passed through but this time when he got up he wasn't a beggar anymore he didn't care if it was improper he wasn't concerned about people's opinion he had been healed his feet were now working his ankle bones had received strength he could stand he could walk he could stomp his feet and he could enter the temple they couldn't keep him out they couldn't bar his entrance and the scripture said he whipped with peter into the temple walking and leaping and praising god in the name of jesus i want to jump into this new shemeta year walking and leaping and praising god i want to get into this new appointed time with a fresh anointing of the holy ghost that is going to see everything change mountains move demon power is brought down hallelujah so the next time you see somebody in church walking leaping and praising god just say they just got their breakthrough amen but because of that miracle listen you would have thought you would have thought people would have been glad about that this beggar who was such a pitiful individual who could not support himself who had to live on the on the offerings of others he is now walking and leaping he has got a normal life he's got an abundant life he's going into the temple of god he's shouting and praising you would have thought people would have been happy about that but it was a power struggle because the pharisees couldn't heal that beggar the sadducees couldn't heal that beggar the temple authorities couldn't heal that beggar the priesthood didn't have any power and these two men coming from an upper room experience had an anointing on their life that nothing not even disease could hold back and they were jealous and envious and determined to silence them so they took them and beat them and told them you can't preach anymore in the name of jesus and here we are fast forward to 2021 his name is still mocked and blasphemed are you hearing me today the world doesn't want to hear it our nation doesn't want to hear his name but there is a people that's going to rise up with power this year that through the holy ghost we'll do the works that he did and this nation one more time is gonna know who jesus is [Music] hallelujah so what do you do when you are told by officials government officials that you can't preach anymore in that name you can't pray for anybody more anymore in that name what do you do when they beat you your back is bruised and and they told you you can't preach any longer you can't stand for the truth you're gonna have to toe the government line they responded by going back to the upper room where the power fell they responded by calling another prayer meeting they responded by standing up before the lord and this is what peter said as he led that prayer meeting that day he said this and now lord behold their threatenings and grant unto thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word by granting signs and wonders to be done in the name of thy holy child jesus peter prayed this way lord they want to shut us up give us more power to speak lord they want to stop the healing give us more healings they want to stop the miracles give us more miracles grant us more than what we had on the day of pentecost hallelujah hallelujah they didn't just ask for another refilling they wanted a double portion of what they got in the upper room the first time that they were there give us more of your power more of your glory we are faced with a challenge we are faced with a crisis we are faced with an enemy but greater is he that's in us than he that is in the world and we want the anointing to show an unbelieving world just who you are and the scripture said when he prayed that prayer that the place was shaken where they were assembled glory to the lord it wasn't an earthquake it was the power of the holy ghost it shook the place where they were assembled and they were all filled with the holy ghost and spake the word of god with boldness and if you'll read the scripture correctly you'll discover that when they went from that prayer meeting they turned jerusalem upside down and within weeks half the city of jerusalem knew who jesus was who jesus is they were saved they were baptized they were filled with the holy ghost that attack of the enemy really started a holy ghost revival we've been attacked now it's time to pray and now it's time to see god push back revival is going to be the outcome of what's going on are you hearing me today in the name of jesus so ezra prayed we're in a time of restoration just like he was over the past decades we've seen a literal avalanche of false teaching and deception that has stripped the new testament church of truth and power that's desperately needed to overcome the evil of these times seducing spirits and doctrines of devils have taken their toll but god has promised that for a short space of time before jesus comes there will be a time of restoration the lost glory the lost power the lost anointing the lost truth is going to be restored ezra prayed for a little space grace had been shown us from the lord our god to leave a remnant to escape somebody say i want to be a part of that remnant a remnant to escape and listen to what he prayed to give us a nail in his holy place we got a knife ezra's praying for all he's worth effectual and fervent and passionate and intense and he says you've given us a nail in this holy place that doesn't hold much significance for us but if we had lived in that time we would understand exactly what ezra was referring to a nail a nail in that particular time was a tent peg and it was driven into the earth to make the tent firm and secure and he was saying god you've given us a stake in this holy place you've given us something fixed and something that is permanent for a time a nail that can hold us when the winds blow and all around us shakes and violent upheaval let me go into that for just a few minutes isaiah chapter 22 and verse 22 said the key of the house of david will i lay upon his shoulder so he shall open and then shall shut he shall shut and none shall open and i will fasten him as a nail in a sure place that is one of the prophecies about the savior that we serve the god that delivered us from sins and iniquities the scripture calls him calls him the one upon whom the key of david will be placed he can open and none can shut he can shut and none is able to open nails nails he is a nail in a sure place jesus is a nail in a sure place not only were they driven deep listen if you just got a shallow experience with god the trouble and the trial and the peril is just gonna blow you away but if you've got a deep if you've gone if you have hammered and hammered and hammered until you've got some depth to your experience until you've got a nail down into the earth you can hang on to that nail when the wind blows you can hang on to that nail when the storm comes that nail is going to make certain that you're sure and established you are not going to be destroyed if you're hanging on to the nail in a sure place nails they were placed in homes they were placed in homes as hooks see they didn't have cabinets and they didn't have cupboards they didn't have those things they would put nails in their homes their houses were built out of stone and while they were putting the stone and the mortar was still soft they would put this this this they called it a nail but it was really just a big iron hook and it was in the house and when the house was ready to be inhabited they would hang things on those nails and those nails would do more than just be something to hang something on it kept the wall in place glory hallelujah it was fashioned in such a way where it made the wall firm glory to the name of jesus hallelujah now i'm not trying to be offensive and i don't want to hurt anybody's feelings but i'm just wondering about some of those people in the northeast i saw a video of the floods that were coming in and a guy was in his basement why would you go in the basement when a flood's out and here comes the flood and it just pushes in the basement wall you can hear the fella scream thank the lord he got he got out of there he's he was safe but i just kept one why would you go into a basement when in the middle of a flood because it can't stand up to the current that's in the flood waters are you hearing me today but if there had been the r if there had been those iron nails in that wall when the flood came against it it would have held and it would have resisted the current in the flood waters you better hear me we've come to a time where the enemy has come in at us like a flood are you hearing me but if you got a you nail a relationship and an experience and a commitment glory you've not only got something that you can hang your sorrows on you can hang your cares on you can hang your troubles on but that nail in a sure place is going to make certain that the wall does not collapse that the house is not destroyed we've got a nail in a sure place i'm hanging on i'm hanging on i'm hanging that's the greatest testimony you can have today i wish you touched somebody and tell them i'm hanging on i know it's troublesome times it's perilous times but i'm hanging on i'm hanging on to my commitment i'm hanging on to the promise i'm hanging on to the word i'm hanging on to the power and the anointing of the holy ghost all right the word bondage give us a little reviving the little is talking about a time a space of time give us a little reviving in the midst of our bondage that word bondage means to be compelled it means servitude and it's exactly what we're facing with this new edict that's coming from washington a force compelling us to do something that could be harmful and destructive we're in bondage we need relief from the tyranny that's been forced upon us we need relief from the freedom threatening life-threatening edicts of an overreaching government give us a little reviving in our pompage without question that i'm closing without question an antichrist spirit is in the white house and just look at the timing just look at the timing we're not yet in the seven years of tribulation but we are extremely close and the assignment and the mission of the last days church is to do more than go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature we have an assignment as end-time believers we're to witness to people or to reach people with the gospel we're to bring them in and tell them how to be saved but there's something more in second thessalonians two and seven the mystery of lawlessness does already work only he who now letteth will let that's the king james it means he who hinders will hinder until to be taken out of the way and then shall that wicked talking about the antichrist be revealed whom the lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming that entity that hinders until we're taken out of the way is the spirit-filled church because the nature of the battle that we are fighting is not so much political as it is spiritual we don't wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities powers rulers of the darkness of this world spiritual wickedness in high places and there's a spirit of antichrist that has told us you no longer can make decisions for your own body when antichrist emerges as the world ruler and imposes his new system of population control on the masses all resistance then will be futile but the world is not there yet hear me the church is to resist the spirit of antichrist until we are taken out of the way well what does that mean in our present context it means this we don't have to take it [Applause] hallelujah hallelujah we are to hinder until we're taken out of the way that word hinder word let in the original greek means this hold down hold back and restrain in jesus name something else i want to tell you about those hooks the nail in a sure place yeah they had them in their individual homes that put it in between the mortar and the rock they would hang there's they're not just the clothing articles on it they would hang utensils on it the cups would be there but the main reason the main reason that they took those hooks those nails and put them in the temple is because what they would hang on those nails in the temple was the shields and the swords of their warriors that had conquered and overcome and won the victory in past battles on the solomon's temple was a powerful beautiful place 183 thousand workmen worked seven and a half years to build that temple the floor was made of gold the walls the paneling was of gold but on the outside of the temple where all of these nails these hooks and shields and swords by the hundreds were on those nails they were hung on there so that when anybody going up to the house of god could look and say that's the sword that won the battle that's the shield that protected our warriors that is the weapon that they used to bring down our enemies oh hallelujah hallelujah glory to the lord i'm restraining myself i have this urge to jump a pew right now because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but they are mighty through god to the pulling down of strongholds let me tell you the shield of faith still quenches the fiery darts of the wicked the sword of the spirit shall still bring down the giants i'm here to tell you in the name of jesus that if you get your loins get about with truth you can wade through any problem and wave through any circumstance and you're going to come out more than a cochlear through him that has loved us hallelujah hello we got a nail in a sure place and with the weapons on those nails we are going to resist and push back until we're taken out of the way in the name of jesus the devil is not going to get away with this he's not going to get away with this if god's people will pray and that's what we're going to do right now bow your heads with me if you're here in this service and you don't have a covenant with the lord now is the time to make that covenant church attendance is not enough going through the motions is not enough having a soft place in your heart for the lord is not enough you got to be born again you got to be totally committed and real quickly i'm looking across the audience for somebody that's honest with himself and honest with god and you look at your life you might have been religious you might have been a church member you might have had all of those good things but you've never really been committed you've never really surrendered today is the day of salvation i told you earlier that i've been praying for people in this service before you ever got here i've been praying for people that don't know the lord to come and find him and you're here as an answer to that prayer whether you realize it or not nobody can coerce you to become a believer nobody can force you to surrender to jesus it's got to be an act of your will but right now the holy spirit is trying to bring truth to those that have been deceived people that haven't had an understanding of what real experience with god is he's trying to awaken you today that you can know him and the load that you're bearing can be lifted and your broken heart can be healed and your sorrow will turn to joy and all of the grief shall become peace that passes all understanding this is your time to respond to him so i'm looking across this audience right now for people that will be honest with himself and honest with god and say preacher you're talking about me i need to know who jesus is i need an experience with him you might have known the historical jesus but he's not really been personal in your life today is the day that you can know him that he's alive and his spirit is here to minister to you can i see your hand god bless you yes the lord bless you now i'm looking for people in this room today that will say preacher everything that you said this morning is food for thought everything that you said this morning and putting it in biblical prophetic context makes me to know that we're living in the most perilous times that we could be living in and i'm ready as a believer washed in the blood of jesus to push back on what the enemy is doing i'm ready to pray with god's people like they prayed in acts chapter 4 like they prayed at mary's house for peter's release like ezra prayed to see god do something that is so supernatural that the whole country will have to say this is the lord's doing and it's marvelous in our eyes could i see the hands of people that have faith that god answers prayer he answers prayer and i'd like to see people this morning that would say i'm going to let the holy ghost of god use me to pray that kind of prayer that pulls down the strongholds i'm gonna let the holy ghost use me today and join with the people of god so that angels will be dispatched so that the power of god will be released and that we'll see in this year a change that will give us a little reviving in the midst of our bondage if you're going to commit that today i want you to stand with me and we're going to pray i'm going to lead you in prayer pray for our country prayer for our nation we're going to believe god is going to do something supernatural listen we're going to believe god is going to do something supernatural i want you to say with me out of your own mouth devil you're not going to get away with this just say one more time devil you're not going to get away with this this is what we're praying for we're praying for leadership we're praying that god will raise up attorneys that he will raise up organizations that he will raise up judges that he will raise up people doing it quickly doing it quickly that will stand against this attempt this power grab that is coming against us in the name of the lord we're believing god is going to move and courage and strength are going to come to people so that we will not be passive and just not merely let the forces of darkness bulldoze over us are you in agreement are we all in agreement we're going to pray and god's going to answer in the name of jesus so i don't want to now i lay me down to sleep prayer i want people right now to get aggressive you're going to call on the lord because jesus said i'm giving you authority i'm giving you power that whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven whatever you loose on the earth is loosed in heaven the lord's waiting on us to pray so he can answer and today we're going to pray in the name of jesus if you feel like joining hands with somebody you're welcome to do that but otherwise just lift up your hands and your voice and call out in the name of the lord right now don't be timid about it but we're crying out to god like they cried out in old testament times like they cried out new testament times jesus hear us today move and show yourself strong in behalf of them whose heart is right toward you we pray for leadership lord we pray that you would raise up people in state legislatures in governor's office in attorneys lord that will go to court and judges that will rule righteously and give us today a turn around in our country we pray for our military lord that you would move in the military and god calls people officers to rise up and take a stand against this tyranny that has been unleashed against us in jesus name sin revival to our country again send revival to this nation let people wake up and see lord god the danger that is about us in jesus name we pray for the total victory and a total answer do god what you promised to do and we give you praise lord that we'll see the turn around that we'll see the wicked cut off that will see those in the synagogue the gathering place of satan bow before our feet and to know that you have loved us in jesus precious name hallelujah [Music] hallelujah

hammer and we're sinking the nail down we're going to keep praying and we're going to keep going deeper and we're going to keep going deeper what do you do when the wind blows harder you make certain that the nail keeps going deeper deeper a nail in a sure place and we're going to hang on because the lord is not going to leave us in this condition [Music] i am confident they have factored god out but he is going to show up in unexpected ways in the name of jesus the lord bless you be here tonight you need to come come on let's let's let's put a let's drive the nail just a little deeper in the service tonight i know what prayer can do i know what prayer can do i know what prayer can do i know what prayer can do [Music] [Applause] [Music] i know what pregnancy [Music]
