if you are please stay where you are but if you're able to stand and you're not on your knees or your face i'm going to ask you to stand in honor of the lord's presence thank you lord [Music] thank you jesus we worship your lord [Music] [Music] we're going to pray here in just a moment but i wanted to share an experience that i had with you as much as the lord will allow me to share i had a dream a while back and uh [Music] i saw in the dream the powers of darkness outside one of our meetings one of these sunday night meetings and i saw the people coming in and they would walk by these evil powers and those those spirits of darkness would whisper lies into their ears god had hand-picked people to come through the door and they would whisper lies on the way in and some of the people would leave some would leave before the gospel was preached some would believe lies and shut down to the gospel and the scripture came alive to me where paul writes that the god of this age the god of this world has blinded has blinded the people and what i discovered in this dream that it was deep prayer that must marry the clear preaching of the gospel and the presence of the holy spirit these must come together if we are going to see the harvest that jesus promised jesus promised that the knowledge of the glory of god the glory of god is in the face of jesus according to second corinthians 4 6 so the knowledge of jesus will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea jesus is the glory of god and so we have seen an amazing harvest here and an amazing harvest on the streets we've never had a service where many people don't get saved young and old we hit a season of a harvest in children where i don't know seemed to be from 3 years old to 10 they were running up to get saved all i can say is that there's more and there's a glass ceiling that must break and that it's going to break in prayer it's going to break in prayer now as you venture into prayer at this level you will discover initially and all of us experience this in different ways different measures you'll experience initially that the body will resist and that the mind will often grab onto distracting thoughts that's not the time to go into warfare you'll just strengthen the distracting thoughts it is the time to just set your face on jesus and stay with it and allow him to increase the 10 pegs of your capacity in prayer and so initially you're going to dip your foot in here in a moment you're going to dip your foot into the shallow end and at one point at some point you're going to catch the current and then the current will carry us together i want to read a scripture to you babe would you give me my ipad please we're going to pray a lot tonight i felt this that this would be a night of prayer we've been praying already just that's what true psalmists do is they pray to music we call them songs but i want to read paul's words to you because these are spiritual things there are people in the room who are destined and called to give their lives to jesus tonight i'll say that again because eight of you are passionate about that there are people let me let me say it another way that jesus bled and died for that he ordained to hear the gospel tonight that he moved heaven and earth literally to get into the room tonight and what i refuse to see happen is the liar fill any minds with lies so that people leave the same way that they walked in tomorrow is promised to nobody tomorrow is not promised to any of us and so we're going to see a mighty harvest tonight and the lord is in the room we all sent his presence but tonight we're going to pray for souls to come in amen the bible says in romans chapter 8 26 26 i'll read from the from the king james i'll read from the new king james likewise the spirit also helps us in our weaknesses so even paul was familiar with the struggles of prayer for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought so off the bat paul is saying i don't know what to pray for many times but here's the answer but the spirit say that but the spirit but the spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered the holy spirit knows what to pray through you tonight and all you have to do is make yourself available and refuse to quit refuse to check out but to offer your body as a living sacrifice tonight as a vessel and an instrument of the work of the holy spirit okay and so this is what i want us to do for about the next we're going to pray for 10 minutes at least so you just settle in if you need to get on your knees if you need to get on your face whatever you feel like you need to do but what i don't just want you to do is sit and soak this is not a soaking session this is us banging on the door of heaven saying lord release the people from spiritual blindness let them come in to your glorious light let those who think they're born again and are not run into the truth of the light of god let those who are resisting whose moms and dads have been praying for them for decades let tonight be the night where their hearts break open and receive this jesus amen for the next two minutes i want you to pray out loud in the spirit go ahead go ahead you guys play your instruments be led of the lord be led of the lord [Music] [Music] keep praying the lord is responding quicker than i thought he would [Music] keep praying keep praying keep praying if while we're praying just keep praying if while we're praying you feel the convicting power of the holy spirit you feel something in you wanting to be free you feel like this is your moment at any point during prayer i want you to forget about your surroundings and come up to the altar even before the altar call you just find your moment of freedom here [Music] [Music] [Music] keep praying church keep praying monty go [Music] [Music] [Music] you step out of your chains tonight you step out of your chains and come to jesus tonight you step out of that thing you step out of the fear of man and come to jesus come get free tonight come out of that addiction in jesus name come out of the lust come out of the distraction keep praying keep praying keep praying keep praying keep praying keep praying my father's house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations if you feel the slightest conviction respond respond like a little child come to your heavenly father who's drawing you tonight holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy [Music] this is a work of the holy ghost this is the work of the holy ghost keep praying oh come on and pray and rip the claws of the devil off these people in jesus name pray pray pray holy holy holy holy come on you're praying you're praying you're breaking the power of the enemy no more lies [Music] you keep praying keep praying keep praying keep praying keep praying keep praying keep praying keep praying [Music] [Music] i'm gonna start praying but i'm not gonna pray for you i'm gonna pray with you come on look at this no altar call no preaching just people feeling the weight of god's glory responding listen to me [Music] i'm gonna pray with you you keep praying in the spirit keep praying in the spirit i'm gonna pray with you you're gonna follow me with your heart and you're gonna give me the amen of your heart the bible says that where two or three gather in the name of jesus that he would be there even in the midst of us jesus said if we would agree touching anything he would do it father in the mighty name of jesus christ [Music] open the eyes of the blind tonight [Music] soften the hardest of hearts i plead the blood of jesus over every person's mind in this room over every person's mind watching on live stream no more deception no more believing lies lies about yourself no more confusion no more believing the lies of the age we cast down every thought church you better pray you better pray we cast down every thought that has exalted itself against the knowledge of jesus christ in you satan i command you to take your hand off of every soul in this room i plead the blood of jesus jesus christ said no man cometh to me unless the father wills it and jesus said no man cometh to the father but by me [Music] oh let the will of god come forth tonight let the power of the blood be released tonight [Music] let every sinner leave a saint in the mighty name of jesus let every person who is under the yoke of sin know it now that you would know it that you would know it that every person who's living a fake christian life who's playing a role like the convicting power of the holy ghost come over them tonight you who've grown up in church you who've grown up in church [Music] and you know as well as i do you're not living for jesus come get free right now come get free right now [Music] come get free you who come to church and live like the devil in your marriage live like the devil in your bedroom live like the devil when you have a cell phone in your hand come tonight come get freed come get touched by this loving jesus no more no more deception no more lives no more lies nobody leaves the same tonight [Music] nobody leaves the same tonight oh this is the call of jesus come unto me all you are weary and heavy laden i will give you rest do you need rest tonight for your soul you need to rest down deep you need the peace that you're looking for peace is a person his name is jesus you come get free tonight come get free it may seem like the longest walk of your life it'll be the greatest walk of your life shake off all that self-awareness and come into the glorious light of jesus and forget about what you think you might look like and come get clean [Music] father free the people whom the sun sets free is free indeed free them literally free them i want every mask to come off in this room every mask all the role-playing all the religious garbage [Music] if sin is reigning in your body it's because you've given your body over if sin is raining in your thoughts it's because you've given your mind over come get free tonight he's not going to judge you here just what jesus said i haven't come to condemn the world but to save the world getting saved is not repeating a prayer getting saved is to be consumed by the savior [Music] don't resist any longer you come church you keep praying there's more you keep praying i guess i guess you'll have to determine as you're praying how valuable eternity is how horrible is hell how wonderful is jesus pray church pray this is when you grow this is how you grow in the spirit [Music] every soul matters every single one you mark my words that damn is gonna break and multiply thousands and thousands and thousands are going to flood these altars it's the work of the holy spirit pray it in break the ceiling break the ceiling let the flood waters gush forth father [Music] jesus school students many of you are back in town many of you have many of you left the presence of the lord in the summer you get down here tonight you get let me make this your first sunday where you leave shining and burning again with holy fire wait no longer [Music] nobody's opinion matters but the lord's [Music] holy holy holy holy holy [Music] holy holy holy [Music] holy holy holy holy holy [Music] i want you to remain standing please [Music] listen closely to the word of the lord now as he sat on the mount of olives the disciples came to him jesus privately saying tell us when will these things be what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age and jesus answered and said to them said to them take heed that no one deceives you for many will come in my name saying i am the christ and will deceive many how many religions how many false doctrines how many false perspectives that claim to be the delivering perspective the name of christ used not jesus just saying i'm the deliverer i'm the anointed one i'm the messiah by the hundreds they've come and you will hear of wars and rumors of wars church turn the tv on it's all you hear about see that you are not troubled for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet for nation will rise against nation that word means people group against people group race against race oh how the devil has attempted to divide even the church with skin color you know why because he'd love for you to forget the color of the blood of jesus we won't forget it here kingdom will rise against kingdom and there'll be famines food shortage there will be pestilence diseases viruses pandemics epidemics and earthquakes in various places all these are the beginning of sorrows then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you and you will by you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake and then many will be offended they will betray one another they will hate one another and then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many and because lawlessness in other words the lack of honor for the law for god's way because lawlessness will abound the love of many will grow cold this is perhaps the most loveless state the world has ever been in but he who endures to the end shall be saved and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations and then the end will come listen to me verse 29 immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be dark and the moon will not give its light the stars will fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens will be shaken that means fearful events in the heavenlies then the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven speaking of his coming then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory and he will send his angels with the great sound of a trumpet and they will gather together his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other verse 45 let me read verse 36 but of that day and hour no one knows not even the angels of heaven but my father only but as the days of noah were so jesus is saying nobody knows the exact day but now he's going to give us the season for as the days of noah were so also will be the son the coming of the son of man for as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage until the day that noah entered the ark in other words they will live life as usual blinded to what's going on around them they did not know until the flood came and took them all away and so also will be the coming of the son of man two men will be in the field one will be taken the other left two women grinding at the mill one taken and the other left jesus says here watch therefore for you do not know what hour your lord is coming but know this that if the master of the house had known the hour the thief would come he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into therefore you also be ready for the son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect church biblical prophecy is being fulfilled at a rate it has never ever known this is not the hour to play with your soul this is this is the love of god manifesting right in front of you jesus himself stretching forth his arms the fact that you prayed a prayer is not proof of your salvation proof of your salvation is whether or not the victorious christ lives in you and through you it is measurable and freedom should be yours jesus said you would not he didn't say you would know them by the prayer they prayed he said you will know them by their fruit with every headboat and i closed are you ready to either close your eyes and go be with the lord are you ready to breathe your last is your soul secure are you a hundred percent sure or should the lord return tomorrow would you be able to face him without shame you can you can if you receive jesus tonight you can stand not in your merit but in his your works your evil works will be covered by his precious and holy blood that is perfect and when the father looks at you on that day he will see the sacrifice of his son and his son's perfection will become yours and so you shall ever be with the lord with every head bowed and i closed you say michael tonight's my night i feel the moving convicting power of the holy spirit deep in my heart i want to be the real deal maybe you said yes to jesus a while ago and you've drifted tonight you can come back he will not push you away he will receive you if that's anyone i want you to come forward right now come on come forward get out of your seat and come forward come forward and give your heart to the lord jesus this might be the come on give the lord praise this might be the first time this might be the hundredth time do not give up do not give up come to jesus resist no more many of you have grown weary you've grown weary you've wondered if you'd ever really love him and you've given up do not give up come to jesus tonight come to jesus tonight church you better give the lord praise come on [Applause] we're still coming come to jesus i say this every week but i want you to do it if there's somebody next to you that you know needs the lord or they need to get back with jesus i want you to do it right now look them in the eye and say come on i'll go down there with you the hour is too late to play games trust me when i tell you on that day you'll be glad you said yes to jesus that's the only thing that'll matter hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah i said hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah thank you lord [Applause] thank you lord thank you lord jesus i'm proud of you guys for standing if you sat back down i want you to get back up and please honor what's happening i know we've been standing for a while but we can do it there are christians running to the mountains right now in afghanistan i think we can stand with our air condition on here thank you father thank you thank you father thank you you and your homes tonight i'm begging you to give your life to jesus you may be surrounded with family or friends i know many of you tune in every week but what a waste it would be to to never tune in every week and never meet jesus and never repent and give him your life to the children watching i want you to look at your mom and dad right now and ask them to pray with you i believe many many thousands around the world are going to get saved tonight come to the lord come to the lord tonight you don't need to be in this room to meet the lord he's already there in your house so if you're coming to the lord jesus and i want you to get down there on your knees your living room your bedroom wherever you are on college campuses whatever it might look like give your life to the lord tonight you're not interrupting you can come don't even worry you come come on down come on down thank you father this is beautiful you can come down you can come with her now for everyone who came forward i want you to look me in the eye we're going to pray and you mark my words god will hear us and most likely start moving to confirm your prayer before we even finish it with the presence of the holy spirit i believe he already is many of you are down here weeping crying many of you are being touched already by the holy spirit we're going to pray and when we do a divine transaction will take place your old life will be gone forever and jesus's life will be lived through you in heaven you'll have a brand new name that only the lord knows you are his forever are you ready to pray are you ready to pray now before we pray i need everybody who's come forward just to look me in the eye i just need a head nod are all of you willing to give jesus your entire life everything everything okay let's pray heavenly father say this out loud i want the whole house to say it heavenly father i have sinned against you i am so sorry i don't want my sin i hate my sin and you are a holy god cleanse me wash me with the precious blood of jesus jesus i believe that you are the son of the living god that you were born of the virgin that you lived a perfect and sinless life that you suffered and died and shed your blood to pay for my soul and wash my sin away jesus i believe that you were buried and raised from the dead three days later in victory and triumph declaring you are who you say you are god almighty and jesus i believe that you have ascended to the right hand of the father and that you are seated as king of kings enthroned forever and i believe that you're coming back again to rule and reign jesus here we go now i hand my life to you i give you my entire life and i receive yours live in me live through me use my life to bring many to you in jesus name [Music] amen amen thank you lord [Applause] thank you father [Music] [Applause] all things shall be made new and all things have been made new would you all just look at me for a moment you can be seated there in your seats do y'all care if i sit down it's been a long day and i'm just gonna sit here for a second for those of you who've come forward um you do not have to struggle with sin every day and lose you don't have to it's a lie from the pit of hell the thought that jesus would die and give you his spirit so that you would live under constant condemnation is a lie the bible says that the thief cometh to steal kill and destroy but jesus said i have come to give you life and life abundantly you can live in the abundance of his life that's his plan for you number one you need to read your bible every day say this a lot i will read my bible every day without the word of god you will die spiritually to be honest with you without the word of god everything about you will die the word of god brings health to our bones health to our flesh without the scriptures you will not make it but i'm here to tell you with the scriptures you are more than a conqueror you are are equipped with an arsenal that no demon in hell can stop and the scriptures are living bread they are true food for the soul why is that important because if you're satisfied in the word you won't go looking to the world for satisfaction sin at the core is a satisfaction issue so nobody can buy me because i've already been purchased does that make sense to you nobody can buy my decisions because i've given jesus my full yes so there's nothing this world has for me that that sucks me in i'm i want to be sucked into his chest does that make sense to you number two pray every day every single day you say i don't know how i guarantee you if you ask people that know you they would all say you talk a lot so just redirect the conversation start talking to the lord and then i would just encourage you give him a few moments to talk back to you don't do all the talking and all the married couples said all right number three get baptized in water don't wait too long you need to sign up tonight many people struggle with sin because they don't get baptized in water it's the truth because it severs the old man and severs us from this world it is a watery knife it is true circumcision that takes place in the waters where we are cut off from the ways of this world the perverse nature of the world we're completely separated and raised a newness of life get baptized in water we would love to baptize you here you just and uh dion where are you champion right come over here dion this is dion let diana know you love him dion is over our evangelism teams and our new believers he's a wonderful man of god and he is in charge of making sure you are equipped to live a victorious christian life okay get baptized in water number four number four do not live the christian life by yourself i don't know if you've noticed that there seems to be a plot to this from hell to isolate people for extended periods of time and the world has never been more sick and i don't just mean physically i'm not negating the reality i actually am very aware of the reality of what the world is dealing with been praying for people like crazy but christians were not meant to live life alone no human was meant to live life alone and that's the value of the church the church this is what church is you come together with the people in god's presence and here's what happens their strengths fill in where you're weak your strengths fill in where they are weak and you become one healthy strong body that is the beauty of church and there is an element of god's presence that cannot be discovered outside the gathering you must gather so paul said forsaken not your assembly okay lastly lastly there are many people in your life who need jesus a lot of them raise your hand if you've come forward or actually anywhere uh in the room how many of you have somebody in your immediate family who really needs to meet the lord jesus look look turn around look behind you you guys who came forward keep your hands up it's 90 of the room how about immediate family or extended lift your hands okay did you know that salvation is a household promise it's a household promise joshua said as for me and my house we will serve the lord i want every one of you who came forward to purpose in your heart that you will not give up until everybody in your house knows the lord jesus now that is not going to come through your skillful debating skills all right before you go argue with your family go vacuum the house wash the dishes do something lowly that looks like jesus the point is this is that jesus said if for example jesus said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to be saved so his disciples said oh my gosh then who can be saved and the lord gave the remedy he said this with man it's impossible but with god say with god all things are possible all right that means that once you give jesus your life and you receive the gift of the father which is the presence and power of the holy spirit now everything you do will be with god unless you go rogue but if you do things with god the hardest people in your family will come to jesus the most hardened criminals have come to jesus in this room i've seen crippled people walk in downtown orlando i was driving down the road jess was eating a burger and so was i just to we were both eating burgers i pulled the car over she was on the phone i saw a man pushing his wheelchair i jumped out of the car chased him down i probably would have done a little differently but god honored the something about it jess was on the phone the last she had seen was the man in the wheelchair when we parked there was a tree between the car and the man so she couldn't see what happened i walked up to him he was a pastor who fell morally lost everything became addicted to substances he had been crippled i prayed for him i said you're going to walk today in jesus name he got up and walked he was a baptist pastor now his particular i'm not saying this isn't the case for all baptist pastors they're wonderful baptist pastors and how many of you know the principalities we're facing around the world right now are going to require our unity not us being right there's a greater rightness that actually looks like the body of christ but this baptist pastor got out of that wheelchair left it right there and started walking listen to this when we drove off i didn't tell jessie because she was on the phone she hung the phone up she looked she took a double take looked out the window she goes wait wait wait he's walking i said well that's the point that's not michael that's the power of the holy spirit it's the power of the holy spirit when you get saved the holy spirit comes to live inside of you first john chapter 2 he comes to live inside of you but you need other people in your lives to get saved and for that to happen you need him upon you it's different than him being inside of you acts 1 8 says this you will receive power after that the holy ghost has come upon you and then jesus reveals the purpose that you would be a witness i got saved at 12 years old most of my family is born again my mom came in first but most of my family cousins grandparents got born again not because of our skillful preaching capabilities i was 12. it was the power of the holy spirit now the power of the holy spirit is not promised to those who earn it the power of the holy spirit is promised to those whom jesus has earned it for on their behalf it is his blood that the spirit descends upon not our perfection all of you have come tonight and yielded your life to jesus you are clothed in his blood that's good news by the way when the father looks down he sees his son's blood that's an amazing thing perfect blood and the holy ghost is attracted to that blood you say so what do i do tonight you simply receive you turn your affection of the lord jesus made a statement he said how much more will your heavenly father give the holy spirit to those who ask i believe this is a genuine conversion that took place tonight a genuine re-committal now all you have to do is genuinely ask for some of you you may just have to get out of the way for three seconds for others he may fall on you in a moment you'll know oh you'll know you really know for some of you might get in your car tonight because once we pray it's it is over you might get in your car tonight you might be driving and the power of the holy ghost falls on you that's what happened to paul teske a lutheran pastor completely unsolicited driving down the road on i-95 in new york a lutheran he was here two weeks ago he served you communion he just said this out loud if that pentecostal preacher that i met today is right show me god and the power of god hit this lutheran man driving home to his baptist wife and this lutheran guy is pastoring a lutheran church outside of new york city very studious smart dignified congregation and now their pastor is snotting and speaking in tongues and weeping and this great theologian has whittled down and it's a little child in god's presence that could happen to you tonight you might lay down in bed tonight and have a dream and the holy spirit could come upon you it's not about tongues not about tongues it's about tongues of fire but why settle for the tongue as a great man said why settle for the tongue

can you do that please hallelujah hallelujah come on give the lord praise [Applause] [Music] thank you lord come on give the lord praise [Applause] okay all right okay it's gonna be offering time [Applause] sorry i feel a little drunk in the spirit right now but it's it's going to be good all right michael just told me to do the offering and i'm going to find the verse that i shared this morning or whatever one comes to me okay let's go to luke 16 10 through 12. i'll be reading from the new living translation it says if you are faithful this is not the one i did this morning by the way but i have a list of offering things that just minister to my heart all the time it says if you are faithful in the little things you will be faithful in the large ones see jesus is looking for people that he can trust and if you can be faithful with what he has given you he will trust you with more but if you are dishonest in little things you won't be honest with greater responsibilities and if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth who will trust you with the true riches of heaven see if jesus can't trust you with your finances how can he trust you with salvation salvation's i should say it all belongs to him anyways like i always say this everything that he's given us it's his all we have to do is give what he's already given us back to him and just obey and the last part says and if you are not faithful with other people's things why should you be trusted with things of your own like i just said it's his anyways the money he's blessed us with that belongs to him our families belong to him our time i love what my husband has always said to me and it's it's blessed me so greatly he said your first fruits and we all know that we have to give our best our first fruits belong to the lord but he said your first fruits jess aren't only your money it's your time that's why it's so important to wake up in the morning and give the best of your day to jesus because he deserves that it's our best our when me and michael get paid we have it where it just automatically from our gross gets taken out and given an offering we don't even touch it when someone blesses us with with a birthday gift or christmas gift i won't touch that money until i have first been faithful with my tithe and my offering because the bible says give your tithe and your offering and then i will spend it on whatever but god is looking for faithful servants that just obey what he has told you to do and to give it with your whole heart and love because he's given us so so much just think about all that the lord has done for you it should be our joy to give our very best to him so i want to invite you right now just to give your best to jesus let's pray lord jesus we come before you lord it is our joy to give you the best of us lord the best of our worship the best of our fruitfulness lord the best of our finances lord the best of our time lord the best of our days jesus so we give it all to you jesus thank you lord for blessing your children thank you for being such a faithful father and a faithful friend it's our joy to give to you lord in jesus name amen if you want to text give to the number on your screen you can do that i want to also invite our online audience if you if this ministry has blessed you you can also give as well like i said this morning everywhere we go now i mean everywhere i was in california shopping and someone stopped me and said oh my gosh i watch jesus image all the time thank you for what god is doing there it's not us it's all the lord but this ministry is blessing people all over the world so have you been blessed by this we want to also invite you to give if you need an envelope if you can just raise your hands and we will have a usher come and give you an envelope you guys can bring up the buckets and we'll be back in just a moment [Music] is [Music] so we lift up holy hands [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]

get back and i'm back in church on sunday and i lost that that one give me the right call all right let him know you'll love him come on congratulations like um you guys want to hear a funny story so the more okay we slept we got married in southern cal we slept in southern cal on the night of our wedding and at like ten or nine eight thirty we get a knock on our door and um you know how when you peep through a peephole everyone looks like a bobblehead you know what i mean their heads are massive their bodies are really small so i i'm like who in the world because we put the do not disturb up clearly and uh so i look out i look out and i just see a big white head of hair combed to the side it's my father-in-law at the door [Laughter] i looked behind him and he corralled my whole family and they were lined up at the door my mom my dad someone who else okay those three he went and got my parents only god knows what he told them like we have to go to the room and only the lord knows why he felt like he had to go in the room and so we opened the door and they just came on in and just sat down in the room you know the first thing he said so funny he didn't say like you know i'm so you guys did amazing there's you guys did great he goes didn't i do a great job officiating the wedding then i go yeah you did good he goes he goes wasn't i so anointed oh my gosh oh yeah that's an ethnic family for you yeah so then our honeymoon actually got rained out it was 2004 so remember that was the year the hurricanes came through here i think like eight or nine came up the coast and yeah so we got rained out our whole honeymoon got canceled and so we ended up having to sleep for two extra nights in california and her dad made a sweet at the house and her sister was so grossed out that we were there she left the house i can't be around this i'm out of here so oh well oh well but you're doing good jose i'll give you at least a d minus no no you're doing good well uh last week was special wasn't it and yesterday i took the day to be with the lord i've been there bud i've been there he is tamed my son the first time we took him on a plane the doctor said give him a little benadryl and then i go really it was our first baby like jess wouldn't let people breathe around like i'm surprised like the whole family had hazmat suits just to get around and uh so the doctor goes just a little there's a very small percentage of children who experience the exact opposite effect if you give them a little benadryl in fact it makes them incredibly so i'm like well you know culiano says are never that so we're fine sure enough on the plane his eyes it looked like he he he's out of nowhere he just goes and he's little and i'm like oh i don't know what to do with that he starts screaming at the top of his lungs i i don't mean like crying i mean screaming takes a half filled water bottle wings it from the back area at a guy in first class and we're there they're going sorry you know so that is nothing um yesterday i spent the day with the lord it was so glorious and wonderful just so uh i i don't know uh how else just to explain it other than that in this way i was in the spirit so quickly and the same today i opened my bible and the minute i opened my bible i'm feasting on the lord like like right away and usually that takes me a lot of time you know i say all that to say is i believe the lord if he's doing that in me he's opening a door for you so last week when i had steph get on the phone and we began sharing testimony some of which i didn't know like hope the pope's healing which was so beautiful janae's encounter with the lord so beautiful but there's something about this testimony that is opening uh help me very softly joel just real real real real real soft um there's something about sharing the works of the lord that's opening our heart my dream life has exploded again and they're very heavenly dreams very spiritual god dreams they're they're they're deep dreams that um if if we grab what god is communicating to us uh we're going to see more than we ever dreamed of so what i want to say to all of you is there are two invitations going out right now one to you individually two to us as a family corporately these types of moments they they don't come around very often i would say possibly this one something like this could take like a decade or more it's a very special thing going on this morning so many were healed in the morning service very easily and it can take you a long time down that road just to see what we're seeing for me it's been a consistent pursuit since 2003 so that's 18 years of going after the lord but bill was sharing a story recently uh well that was actually the last time we were in reading chris valatin had said something to him i think or to their church he used an example of rocky which i always love my dad made me watch rocky every day or at least two or three times a week yeah that's the way i was raised so remember i think it's rocky iii has anyone not seen rocky here okay you need to go i'm joking i don't mean go leave i mean go watch it you need to watch it so there's this part where mick his trainer says that he's going to lose if he fights clubber lane who is mr t in the movie remember that and he's his own trainer says you're going to lose this fight and rocky goes why do you say that and he said because you're too civilized now you lost your edge you lost that wildness that that hunger that that intangible that got you to where you are i'm not talking about striving in the flesh or you know one of one of the terms i i really don't love but i understand it when it comes to prayer is pressing in because it's not how you enter you don't enter through pressing you enter through yielding through a heart that's worshiping you don't you know rivers the river of god is not generated by our activity it's already there and already moving rivers are joined has anyone experienced one of our 400 lazy rivers in orlando they're everywhere every hotel has anyone been in one you don't do a whole lot in them you get into them through trust that this thing's going to take you where it needs to and you yield and it carries you that's what the life of the holy spirit is like but there is this seizing of a moment and jesus explained it this way he said this popcorn oh no okay only the lord knows jesus said this the kingdom of god suffers violence and the violent take it or sees it by force this is what this means jesus the king of this kingdom is leading a procession and he is going somewhere he's going somewhere and this this part is tough for us to swallow but there's a side of him that is going there with or without us and so that's why i've been saying for a couple years now the only way to have a jesus movement is to have jesus does that make sense so i've been saying it must go beyond the branding beyond the clothes all this stuff it has to be really real does that make sense to you so there's this side of jesus who when walking on water was going to keep walking had the disciples not stopped him and asked him to come in the boat this is this is the side of jesus that makes us really uncomfortable and seizing a moment requires this violence in the spirit not craziness it requires divine positioning what does that look like it means that if god is moving you make yourself available typically when god is moving and the wind starts blowing listen carefully he begins to look at lives like sails and he begins to entrust the wind to the people who have the least amount of holes in the sails if the sail has holes in it when the wind blows the sailboat just goes in circles and ultimately capsizes and brings shame and that's why jesus said regarding the wine skin and the wine he said i what good is new wine with an old wine skin you put new wine into an old wine skin the wine skin bursts and the wine is wasted so listen very carefully the wine is the presence of the holy spirit the lord is very very meticulous as to which wineskins he fills positioning yourself looks like getting the holes out of the sail and making sure that the wine skin of your heart listen up is still very tender tenderness is holy listen carefully tears are holy childlike wonder is so holy it's so impressive it's more impressive than trying to pull off the biggest thing so right now we're at a bit of a crossroad i have felt it i felt it now for weeks it's not that we've lost anything or that god isn't moving he's doing amazing things but over the next i would say between now and through the end of october god god is positioning us for a season i want you to receive this as a prophetic word i have never talked to you like this you mark my words we are being positioned for a divine opportunity for the lord to sweep us off our feet you see the difference in harvest when we just prayed for 10 minutes you see that you learn the ways of the holy spirit you know on sunday mornings i do teach a lot but i don't prepare sermons i have my scriptures my notes but i'm not a master sermon preparer because this is what i've learned i have to prepare my heart more than the sermon or god can't move you can have wonderfully prepared songs and sermons if there's a blockage the anointing will not flow it's that you know when i hear pastors go i work on my sermon for six days god blessed them and that's fine i'm not i'm not taking any shots but to work on a sermon and not work on let's say forgiveness isn't going to get you anywhere you see those are the more pivotal matters and i don't know about you but you step into leadership or do anything you realize when we started the school i i i think i may have shared this with somebody i called danny i go danny life's way more challenging now and he goes we start laughing i said i said and i don't understand it all we did is started school and he's like what what do you mean you don't understand that it's like it's simple math how many students do you have and i said we got a few hundred he goes well now you have a few hundred more times the opportunity to have an issue every day and that's why you have more that's why life's more challenging i go that makes perfect sense if 300 more times the opportunity to put out a fire this stuff it can get on you a lot of stuff can get on you people's opinions can get on you but what i want to tell you right now is this if you hold on to offense in this hour you will miss the kingdom train you will miss it because this locomotive is smoking and moving and it's moving fast a church in a ballroom in maitland florida this morning just gave a hundred thousand dollars to the afghani church and raised one-sixth of the budget needed that's a fast moving supernatural locomotive it's a fast-moving train america is changing by the weak young people the world is lying to you to get rich themselves everything jesus said is happening everything it's just happening at rapid speed well the good news is that the earth will be covered in the knowledge of jesus his glory and the gospel will be preached to every nation and then the end shall come i am believing for such a tangible glory here that it will be felt miles away driving in amen you may say i don't even know what you're talking about oh i do i felt it i'm not asking for anything i haven't already felt an experience in my life i'm asking for more than i experienced as a little kid do you know how wonderful it is to close your eyes at night knowing god will very he very well may likely talk to you in the night it's wonderful now listen carefully let go of the little stuff right now this this is not the moment to get stuck in offense listen listen listen listen listen i'm talking to you about the spirit jesus said offenses will come he actually warned two types of people regarding offense the ones who cause it and the ones who pick it up do you know you have a choice to not be offended do you know being offended is a choice jesus actually said offenses will come they're going to come your way but if you're so sensitive it just means you're too alive well dead people don't get offended very easily the word offense in the greek is scandalon that's where we get the word scandal the word actually means a pit that is dug in the ground and then hidden psalm 91 promises us that we would be rescued from the snare of the fowler or the offense of the fowler so what the devil does is he digs these holes in your life and then covers them he camouflages them hoping that you'll fall into them once you fall into his snare you're caught up in imprisonment and binding the anointing can't flow make yourself ready make yourself ready you're about to be surrounded and ministered to listen carefully by some of god's dearest friends who are gracing the planet that's not why you come here you come for jesus but i'm here to tell you there is a measure of anointing that's about to be released over the next two months that you must ready yourself for let the lord remove the debris forgive whoever you have to forgive do not choose their punishment over your breakthrough you can choose to punish them by the way you really can't but you can choose to be the punisher and you'll relinquish your breakthrough you decide you decide you decide tonight who and what will or will not keep you from the more of god you know today driving to church this morning i looked back at my kids i said i want to sit down with you guys and i said which one of you can type fast it's so funny they're all like uh and then theo theo michael goes uh benny's pretty fast i go well benny do you type like this can't like like normal people you know like not like normal people but you know you look at the screen and you know we all took typing class he goes not really he's like i'm more like this and i said okay but he was the fastest he was the best we had to work with i said i want to take you into my prayer room and i want to take a moment and tell you about all the encounters god has given me the stuff i can't say publicly and then i made him promise don't you dare go tell the world about it when i go to heaven when i go to heaven he can go ahead and do it but but these things are for the lord but i want them to live on when i went back this morning as i was driving and began to think and i shared one of them with them they thought what that was one of a rolodex of genuine encounters with the lord and his ways it has been wonderful but i'm hungry for more i want more somebody asked bill a question when i was there at the civic i think i may have shared this with you guys but if not it's for some of you i was there at the civic and it's which is in reading that seats about 1800 people and it was filled with bssm students and one of the students which many of you many of our students are the same way because your glory what you're glorying what you're glorying in now when you start to walk out the call of god will most likely shift and it should it should some of you are glorying in crowds and events and all that god's not mad at you but one day you'll only glory in him one day one day your need to be recognized will be gone one day you won't need to have your face on flyers you will have been there and done that one day you won't need to show crowd shots at every get together one day you won't need to tell people what you do for the lord five minutes into every conversation if they ask you who you are you'll be comfortable by just saying your name because you're fully received by the lord and said that'll happen one day that'll happen one day so they asked bill a question this young man he goes looking at the crowd he goes did you ever dream that your school would be this big and bill i loved his answer bill said ah i never dreamed about size i dreamt about realms in the heart of god that's beautiful so this is what i'm here to tell you not to keep you all night but i'm telling you like i know my name the dam is about to explode you say it already has exploded i know some of you watching online you're like it's exploded oh my gosh jesse said it i mean you know you go places i got my car valet the other day and this guy goes name i go k-o he goes kulianos i go yeah he goes i know that name i go oh great i'm never coming back here again you know sometimes you just want to like i don't know go be and go have fun that doesn't mean you've made it just because a lot of people are watching youtube doesn't mean we've done anything i'm grateful for what the lord is doing but that doesn't mean anyone has arrived is there really any arriving at all isn't it all about jesus so you mark my words we right now are at the precipice of a divine opportunity that may never come our way again that we may never see again in our lifetimes and this is what i'm going to ask you to do something beyond what you're doing now i don't know what that looks like it might be a fast it might be extra time with the lord i would encourage both of those things but for some of you and i know i'm talking to a few of you here for some of you it may require an uncomfortable conversation and to make amends with someone who hurt you and when they say they're sorry it may mean that you actually forgive them do you know how wonderful it is to come into god's presence holding nobody's faults against them do you know how many people i've met in the church who can't move on with jesus because of a dumb decision that a pastor made my response to them is but what did jesus ever do to you well my pastor did this you're not you're not hearing me what did jesus ever do wrong to you well my pastor cheated on his wife jesus doesn't cheat on you my husband left me jesus will never leave you so so this is what i've felt all day long and it's increased listen listen listen i said it last week it is not a matter of whether or not the fire of god is here you would have to be completely dead in the spirit to not sense god's presence here every every time we gather that's not the point it is not about whether or not the lord is here in his fire it is about how flammable we are before i pray for you let me just share this story i grew up spending hours and hours and hours a day pursuing a dream in my life it happened to be golf i played for the college of my dreams we were ranked number one in america division one university of florida any kid who grew up in florida and played golf wanted to play for the gators it was my dream i won a series of national events i played professionally and then i got injured and we ended up coaching at the university of florida my brother went to oral roberts university and told me that he saw jess he hadn't seen her in a while and that she had morphed beautifully sometimes time does wonderful things not that she was she was just a little interesting fashion when she was younger so i'd seen her at church she you guys heard the story she would wear jordans a jordan jersey long basketball shorts hair slicked back massive hoops if she warmed the sea world one of the dolphins would have jumped through she'd have gotten hurt she had a little you know and i'm mediterranean it's a little mediterranean little stuffed sideburn thing going and it's just wonderful then my brother texted me a picture of he saw jess at oru and i'm like who's that he goes that's jess i go wow praise the lord please the lord i learned the truth between seed and harvest is time seed time time did well and harvest seed time and harvest so jessie and i connected her dad came and i prayed a prayer when i before i went to her house i said lord if you've called me to the ministry when i walk in the door have pastor benny offer me a job at the time i was still pursuing golf i walked in i go into the kitchen and the first thing he says is i have a and he didn't even get the offer out i said i'll take it and he goes you don't know what it is i said if it is it a position he goes yeah i said i'll take it he goes you don't know what the position is i said if it's scrubbing toilets i want it i felt the wind blowing you see just like i'm feeling now i'm telling you i feel the same season i felt the wind blowing and i knew something it had to be the mercy of god that if i grabbed it my life would change forever if i chose my own will and comfort it may never come again so i said okay so that started uh well i think we did 30 36 countries in 10 months so a country a week two domestic stadiums a month it's funny i hear and there's nothing wrong with it but i have seen stadiums fill by the presence of the spirit now we train people how to fill stadiums it's wonder whatever it's wonderful but i have seen them fill because of the anointing and it's much better so much better because when you put your head down at night you know the lord did the work not to say you don't plan and do things with excellence but i have seen the presence of god draw sinner and saint by the millions for decades and so i was swept up in that well i did that for seven years and then we moved back here we always said we will never come back to orlando and be careful what you say you'll never do so we looked all over florida sarasota west palm tampa and we passed through here just to spend the weekend something would stern our soul so at the time i would still practice golf and had gotten my amateur status back so i could play in some amateur events so one day i'm at on the back of the range and my dad my dad who's a wonderful man of god a very humble jesus loving man has been a great example to me he is on the back watching me hit balls and something comes out of his mouth that was so not like my dad because it was my dad who supported me for my whole golf career so i'm hitting balls right here in lake mary at this golf course and he goes you love golf huh i'm thinking well dad you you got me started when i was five i was 33 at the time no 30 at the time for 25 years he's been walking with me he goes you love golf i said yeah he goes would you quit if god said so i said of course and then he goes then do it now i'm in a training session and i'm thinking get behind me you're supposed to be encouraging me you're telling me to quit he goes then give it to the lord so i looked back at him i said god gave it to me he goes well i just i don't know why i said that i just felt to say it the moment he said it i couldn't shake it i went to bed that night you'd talk about turmoil troubled i had given my whole life i loved it i still do i'm talking about 10-hour days being very normal and i can't shake that the voice of my dad that was really the voice of the lord then do it for two weeks i wrestled with the lord you know what i discovered god's not going to negotiate with you you can't move him you can't make him a better promise back then you know tim tebow was winning everything at florida and he would give his great speeches where he thanked jesus so i said lord i'll do what tim's doing i'll do what tim's doing come on you want let's let's let's work something out here i will i'll do philippians 4 13 under my eyes if i have to on the golf course like i don't want to give this to you i don't want this is too dear to me two weeks finally finally finally after trying to negotiate the lord not budging i couldn't pray i couldn't get through into his presence that's where i learned that my surrender is directly connected to my prayer life you cannot you cannot separate the two and so there in our closet in the house we're renting in jesse's closet which was like a land mine of shoes i literally remember that day getting on my knees and i heal one of the high heels going in how long shall i suffer lord this is going through the suffering you know i moved them out of the way got on my knees and i looked up to heaven and this is what i said that's what i said lord you can have it now no one else heard it but it was real to me and real to jesus with tears running down my face i'll never forget what the lord said why'd you wait so long once i finally said yes true joy filled my soul now i had been preaching at the time but not too many people were getting healed people were getting saved but not too many people getting healed now i want to make very clear you cannot buy or accomplish healing but you can surrender into it you can't surrender in to to a life of miracles i said yes to the lord i came out feeling so free i was actually confused as to why i tried to negotiate so long because the feeling of surrender was so much better than trying to convince the lord the whole time i left that prayer closet so free and i flew to montreal and it was in montreal that a tumor in a man's brain left for the first time in our ministry why am i sharing this with you is the wind began to blow and i believe god many of you are holding on to things that god gave you for sure god gave them to you i believe they did many many maybe some he did not but many of you god did give it to you now typically we think that because he gave it to me i have to hold on to it no no that's just all the more reason to give it back to him god said something to abraham and with this how close god said something to abraham genesis chapter 15 i abraham am your exceeding and great reward me the moment he said that to abraham he would hold abraham to the promise which looked like this abraham here is your miracle son named isaac i gave him to you but because i'm your exceeding and great reward i am asking for isaac give him to me now this is what i want to say to many of you the wind of fire is already blowing it is not a matter of god's presence the lord is here it's a matter of who will say yes who will leave all who will truly yield truly surrender truly allow the lord to patch their sails remove the holes remove the offense remove this sin come to jesus in yieldedness and he'll use your life for his glory amen amen stand to your feet would you please the lord has done much tonight god can do a lot with a surrender you see it's a more pleasant experience typically to give the lord the pain of our sin but a deeper surrender is offered when we give the lord what he has given us a friend of mine had a dream recently where i told him i still have it but i let it go it i don't think made sense to him it made sense to me the only way to truly be entrusted to keep something is to eternally let it go god can only entrust you with what you're not holding on to tightly does that make sense to you so let's prepare our hearts for these next four or five weeks i believe they'll be the greatest weeks in the history of the ministry i would say these next six to eight weeks are going to be a phenomenal season we have to ready ourselves it is a kairos moment father thank you i want you to slip your hands begin praying in the spirit father we thank you for the wondrous things you have planned i thank you for every healing and every salvation every infilling with the holy spirit every moment in your glory and presence yeah keep praying the lord we sense this shift again it's like the priest coming into your glory only wearing his tunic you are reducing us to full surrender so we declare lord that our lives are yours our money is yours our dreams are yours jesus image is yours our futures are yours our marriages our children our families we yield it all the best we can and lord we need your mercy to walk with us so that we can offer what you want i pray father that we would not i really need your agreement on this one i pray that we would not miss this hour lord i i called to remembrance what john kilpatrick said about us that the arrow of the lord is coming our way that the outpouring of the holy spirit the wonderful revival the jesus revival that there is more lord let the arrow hit us make us immovable faithful servants of the lord i pray that what happens in this room is just just a raindrop of what you have planned what you're going to do in homes what you're going to do in prayer closets and in kitchens and in living rooms lord we need more of your glory i pray for every worshiper and every leader here oh let us be in one accord one accord touching this one thing your presence remind us of what you're speaking in the weeks to come and release people into their destinies the right way holding nothing in and of themselves do it lord father let the weight of your glory come upon us all even tonight let your glory come the wonder of your spirit as you called us to remembrance last week i hear it again remind us of the days in your glory and shine in us shine here shine here bring us to the point of dependency remember the lord's presence clothe you and keep you and surround you and shine on you may you leave and go home in the presence of the lord like you've never known may the pastors and missionaries those visiting from out of town may you carry the presence of the holy spirit back to your cities back to your churches and schools and families and may fires begin to burn all over america let this be a burning bush for the nations of the world in jesus mighty name be blessed amen amen amen can we give the lord praise thank you lord
