complete sentence hi everyone that's watching live actually today we're live we're doing something different but most of the time the very last song that they sing is going to be part of the service if you want to rewatch it we're just trying to give you know like everyone that's shut in a complete service so um please go to the bathroom three quarters in fix your do up if you need to because what we're going to do is we're going to have the elders probably come up and say hey we're going to go live in just a few minutes we do have a camera that shows your backs so you don't want to be slumped over like sleeping or anything you will be on the international web yeah so just letting you know but anyway there's wonderful things happening um i've asked my wife if she could um just kind

funny huh because um we have a special treat here we have uh it's tom right tom shaw he's the son of glenn shaw if you all know her she was a power pack mighty woman of god um amazing lady and i got to see her a number of times in tells oklahoma years ago and so i just felt like um we thought i'll just go quick and then we're just going to turn it over to you how's that isn't that fun yeah yeah you're like i'm the new kid on the block here you don't even know me but see you got to know people after the spirit and we're just trusting the holy ghost to go with the flow and so um anyway why don't you pray and then we'll go for it it's good this is good amen blue is blue prophetically revelation amen yes i'm blue today got some revelation on the way amen tom's got blue on blue and blue jeans so we got more revelation after pl father we thank you today that every chain in your presence is broken every yoke is destroyed beyond recognition every angel that's related to this ministry is in worship and praise and with us lord there are more for us than against us we thank you for raising up this ministry into what you have birthed it to be what father has birthed let it come forth in many dimensions let it spring up and let it roll like thunder we thank you for what you're doing here today bless pastor lisa as she brings lord lord those morsels right out of the stove so to speak in jesus wonderful precious name a man we love you guys hallelujah and um for me to go short brother tom it's it's a miracle too but i i feel that passion of god in me right now and today i felt like the lord we've been talking about walking in our callings how many of you have been enjoying that walking in your holy calling and you know you got to walk holy you got to walk worthy of that calling which you've been called and we talked about having all present you know perseverance and patience and and long suffering and and the unity of the spirit and i really felt today that the lord wants to take you so you can walk in that holy calling that you've got to be a person that is passionate about things okay you can be passionate about a lot of things you know passion can go the wrong direction you know i mean you know that you know in your flesh dwelleth no good thing so the wrong type of passion you know that love portion passion or whatever the world could take you the wrong direction but i want to talk about a different type of passion today the passion that jesus had he was passionate about prayer he was a passionate about obeying his father and i'm just going to do this real briefly because you know the word passion is a a noun it has a noun form it's a strong and barely controlled emotion now i don't want our emotions to rule us i want to be one that's spirit led okay i got i happen to be a a spirit woman you see a spirit woman that happens to be in a temple of bodies sometimes it needs more paint than other times and you know or more dressing whatever you know whatever you hopefully have a lot of dressing on here we have the wrong passions going on here but uh oh lord i don't know how i went there but praise the lord glory but you know we also think of the passion of christ the suffering that he went through and the intense driving or overwhelming feeling or conviction when you're passionate about something you're fully convinced you're fully convicted and this is not a time where we're to be wishy-washy about what we believe in a little bit of this or maybe that you need to be passionately on fire for jesus and i sent the um sound team a picture i don't know if you guys find that if you find that on your email or text i sent it to you but i made a picture a while back there it is this i made in 2000 let's see if you can get close enough to read it oh it's 2020. it was jordan won a passion one of uh pastor sermons and i love this luke 12 49 i've come to set the earth on fire and how i long for every heart to be already ablaze with this fiery passion and see god doesn't want you to be lukewarm or you know passionate for the wrong things he wants you to have a fiery hot fiery passion for him that people know you're either in or you're out i was thinking about the word passion you know spelled p-a-s-s-i-o-n you know you need to pass yourself which is the i on to god and you need to get out of yourself pass it up let it go say no more me no more the big eye in the middle and i'm gonna get on to what god has for me i need passion for him not about me myself and i what i want to do you need to let that go you need to say no more get out of here but i need to be passionately on fire for god and i just want to read a scripture out of john for you and it's john 14. if you can turn there real quick and i'm going to read it out of the passion translation in that cute i mean the passion translation too yay yay god that's good i didn't think about that but i'm gonna go to john chapter 14 and i love this chapter because i'm not alone when i read this chapter and you're not alone we're not here on this earth in all that's going on and there are people that are passionately and pursuit of those evil ways we can look in countries across the world right now where the taliban and others they are passionate about evil but god wants us to pursue good and have uh just have nothing to do with evil he wants us to pursue righteousness and holiness and truth and he wants you to be passionate about that kind of walk and so i love that the holy spirit is there and he's not going to abandon me or be away from me he's actually the helper in this life to walk this out and when i i don't have enough maybe i call it compassion you know for the loss or or passion for the things that god is desiring there's someone and it's a holy spirit on the inside of me who always ends in tune with god he doesn't miss a beat he knows how to pray perfect prayers in fact he can pray in me so perfectly that he can groan with others that cannot be uttered because he feels it when you groan you're feeling something how many of you gave birth to a child and you felt it there was no like oh maybe i'm gonna feel it you're passionately wanting to get that baby out right [Applause] see the earth is is groaning right now with childbirth pains all the creation is groaning right now feeling you know they're fervently feeling this they're waiting for the sons and daughters of god to rise up [Applause] with everything that's in us that we would not be just lukewarm we would just not be not with that we would stand for what we believe that we wouldn't bend that we would be full of conviction and great boldness in this hour this is not a time to be weak in the knees and feeble this is a time to be strong and mighty and in in john it says this in verse 21. i'm going to start there it says those who truly love me are those who obey my commands whoever passionately loves me will be passionately loved by my father and i will passionately love you in return and will manifest my life within you now this translation says those who truly love me are those who obey my commands who passionately loves me and passionate loved by my father and i passionately love him in return and reveal myself to him the other one says i will manifest my life within you we need the revelation of jesus christ living big on the inside of each one of us that when the world sees us they see someone that is not oh i wonder if they're a christian or not you know maybe they're a christian are you a christian incognito it'd be like you know someone in the armed forces and then gonna go fight a war and they decide to wear high heels need to have their combat boots on and they need to really look the part and act the part and have the tools for the part i can fight in a high heel i can do it right now okay but if i really gotta run the race at a different pace i'm not gonna be doing it in my high heels i'm gonna put on the right equipment and the right things because i'm passionately wanting to win i don't go to a football game playing with a tennis ball or a tennis racket you don't go try to shoot a deer with a bb gun [Laughter] [Music] i don't know a lot about that but praise the lord we need to have a strong desire and devotion for something other than ourselves and i really believe today that god wants you to be passionately empowered by him by obeying his word and doing what jesus told you to do and jesus was such an example of passionate devoted prayer and i believe this hour that god's looking for a church he's looking for a bride that is so sold out devoted to the one thing that jesus said i need you to pray he said my church is not a house a preaching and teaching my church is a house of prayer for the nations [Applause] yesterday we probably had over i don't know over 50 people here for prayer in the morning and there was strong powerful fervent prayer so fervent that our whole sound system went berserk [Applause] right when pastor was like boom the whole thing blew up i think some devils got whacked out of this region and he decided to come at our sound system but there's something about fervency in prayer and james chapter 5 talks about that if you can turn to that real quick because it's about elijah and chapter 5 and i'm going to read it again out of the passion translation confess and acknowledge how you've offended one another and pray for one another constantly and be constantly healed oh i love that be constantly pray for one another to be instantly instantly not constantly that looks good how'd i get that instantly healed for a tremendous power is released through passionate heartfelt prayer of a godly believer then it talks about elijah elijah was a man with human frailties i fit right there with them how many of you all your weakness weakness can be your friend by the way in your weakness you can be strong human frailties just like all of us but he prayed and received supernatural answers he actually shut the heavens over the land so there would be no rain for three and a half years now how would that be if you'd start praying and there was a storm coming or something and you commanded the rain to stop and it stopped for three and a half years whoa power prayer prayer that moves mountains prayer that shakes nations prayer that can change lives prayer that can bring resurrection life in the middle of death where die dead bones live again that's what god wants to do in you and he wants you to know that this was a man just like us he probably had to pass that eye test passion pass the eye test and get on with god he probably had to do that too he had to get over himself and realize that it's god in him god looking for a body god looking for an individual god looking for someone that would surrender god looking for someone that would yield god was looking for someone that would say yes god looking for someone that would wake up at 3 a.m and say okay god god looking for someone that would walk down the street and tell someone the good news he passed his eye test he was a man just like us that did supernatural prayers he prayed again and the skies opened over the land so the rain came again and produced the harvest wow fervent prayers heartfelt prayers there's so many types of prayers we could go into a whole thing of how you could have prayers and supplication and prayers of intercession but the prayers that come from the heart prayers that move the father prayers that are prayers of a belief and not unbelief prayers that make declarations according to god's word and not your own word fervent prayers of knowing the will of the father praying in the spirit at all times and ask in the spirit spirit what is going on holy spirit you pray through me i pray in the spirit and then i pray with understanding heartfelt prayers jesus felt this he makes intercession right now at the right hand of the father for us but he taught us to pray he prayed in the morning he prayed at night he got up and went to the mountaintop he went alone running in prayer he prayed at all times at all different occasions jesus was the example of prayer and i love the lord's prayer because they're like the disciples are like lord how do we pray teach us to pray look at that luke chapter 11 real quick get ready tom i'm almost done this is a miracle i remember when we were um at dr kevin zadai's one of his women's conferences and he asked me to speak in the afternoon and it was like a four-hour session but he told me in the beginning get ready you're gonna preach and an hour goes by and he looks now get ready pastor alicia you're gonna preach and another hour goes by and then he has all these other women come and it's like two and a half hours or more before i got up there and he said to me get ready about three times get ready get ready jesus is coming that's right so jesus teaches us about prayer one day as jesus was in prayer one of his disciples came over to him and as he finished and said would you teach me us a model prayer that we can pray come on jesus just show us how to do it tell us how you do this every day i mean you're going away to a solidary place you're making prayer your prayer life is everything how do we do this and so he said to them when you pray say our father in heaven hallowed be your name your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us day by day our daily bread verse 4 and forgive us our sins for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us and do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one verse five and he said to them which of you have a friend that you go to him at midnight and say friend lend me three of globes i'm just gonna skip all that right there i'm gonna stop with the other verse because i wanna i wanna emphasize this jesus he cried out to the father for help on a daily basis he's like abba father i need you and he worshipped the father god he honored his name he prayed not what i want to do get the eye out but your kingdom come not my agenda but god what is your heavenly agenda for today that's what you should be saying lord i'm describing everything that i've got down in my to-do list what is your kingdom doing today your kingdom come your will be done in me today and he said may the glory of your name be the center which my life turns how do you like that may the holy spirit come upon us and cleanse us i'm asking god every day lord for my needs you're the one that brings daily bread manifest your kingdom on this earth and here it is give us our daily kneaded bread for the coming day we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow because he said tomorrow has what enough troubles of its own but today lord let me know today i need living real fresh manna from heaven now i'm passionate about that i don't want stale bread i don't want a day old bread i don't want moldy bread i want fresh from you god i need it you need it forgive me lord forgive each one of us of our sins as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us and rescue us every time we face tribulations you ask god for forgiveness daily ask him for protection for daily from falling into temptation and things of the future how do you know we live in a world that's shaking it's tribulating is that a tribulating sound honey i don't know can you give me a tribulation sound no that's an engine i don't know i don't know how to tribulate here that sounds more like a tribulating sound [Applause] please god help me this husband of mine is it's tribulating the marriage you know amen well let me are you tribulating now i just i just want to say what an absolute miracle is going on here greg and i kind of know what's going on i asked him just the other day there's a outlet in the floor like a four-prong outlet that we put a cover plate over there's a blue plate here it's blue revelation right in front of it it's a big hole and she's got the show her your um shoes oh and for the whole time i've been praying in tongues her heel has been going here and in front of it behind it if it goes in she goes oh there's a big hole yeah there's a big hole so the bible the bible says the steps of a good woman are ordered of the lord she went in front of it behind it on the left of it and gray came home and goes she's getting real close she's going to go in she's going down and i said well y'all see that my whole heel goes in that thing yeah yeah flat shoes actually in the hebraic language it says the steps are numerically ordered oh isn't that good so wow i'm just thank god i i said greg in the next day or two let's put a plate on that one amen lest somebody go in somebody tribulation amen well i think jesus heard my prayer ask for protection from falling into holes amen glory thank you i want to say this and honey stay up here jesus often knew where to withdrew from the crowd and how to pray and he wants you to be a fiery on ablaze of him yes he wants you to devote yourself colossians 4 2 to prayer being watchful and being thankful for the end is near therefore be of sober mind that you will know how to pray this is not a time to play yes we are not playing church here if you want to play church play church club go somewhere else this is uh this is an army this is a war army that is knows not how to make great break ranks you know i just there's something that just popped up and we're gonna i'll be good on time but um you know years ago my mentor um kind of admonished me and you know i was young and sometimes when you're full of pride you get offended easy can we just keep it real you know what and i was you know you think you know it all should come out of bible school and i didn't really know anything it was up here but i haven't lived it out do you see what i'm saying you live it out and the prophetic you know really comes out of the spirit of man not not the understanding of the mind it's with a heart the spirit man believeth but anyway you know he said pastor wayne um the lord wants you to be more sober and and he he he prefaced it with you know i know you're sober in the natural he wasn't talking about drinking or any of that i was due to that he said i'm talking about sober in the spirit and i said yeah yeah well you know you know i didn't want to hear that but now years later the lord was doing an adjustment with me where he showed me what that really is a lot of us don't know that because a lot of us haven't walked in that and what the lord showed me and the only two people i've seen on this earth that have really walked in that that i kind of knew a little bit was one because i sat under kenneth hagin as as a student and i did i didn't know him personally and and one is as a mentor and a friend a little bit you know he's kind of like a father to this house is kevin he's done like 20 conferences here so you learn by being around people amen but there's a sobriety that even when brother kevin says sometimes when i'm here doing a conference i can't talk to anyone i have to pull away and the slightest little teacher conversation it just like stops what the spirit's doing but if you're not in that realm you don't have any clue i didn't i didn't really understand that for years but now there's just a time where like you get alone in your prayer closet and like i'll forget to like leave my phone out and it will ring you know what i mean and if i answer that puppy it's like the shade rolls up and i'm back in the natural and then i try to go back in the spirit and i just can't so there's a there's a thing that i'm learning there's actually a thing that i'm walking in right now and it's it's it's like the seriousness of god there's a time to to be chill there's time to be funny you know there's a time you know i'm not talking about becoming an introvert but there's there's a seriousness of the hour and there's a sobriety of the spirit there's at times that you could almost mistake it that pastor wayne's a little upset with you i'm kind of like you know kind of you know you please don't think that there's times i'm going to walk right by you and there's just something in my spirit i can't stop and talk there's something in my spirit where i'm either going into that prayer room or i'm going to that prayer room so there's there's a seriousness of this hour there's a deep call unto prayer and to get on your a-game there are things coming this fall i'm telling you by the spirit of god there are things happening so to get on your a-game to get into prayer and to develop those times where when you do a tongue fast now that's not your tongue moving fast yeah that's not exactly one of the prophets that mentored me said pastor wayne there's some days i do a tongue fast i don't talk to anyone i smile and i nod or i'd go like this and i just don't talk about if your tongue's getting you in trouble that would be a good idea and the multitude of words sin is found so there's days you just tell those that are around you so they don't get hurt you want to communicate always hey i'm kind of doing a tongue fast a little bit and i just say why i need to listen to the lord as i'm working on my trade or my my career or as a pastor there's days i love y'all but there's certain days i won't pick up my phone because the lord's like you and me today and it's not my day off but it's my day with the lord and then if it's an emergency you know we have more than one line to go through but there's just a seriousness and a prep preparation in the spirit so to get in there and get on your a-game this is a wonderful moment absolutely and the lord wants you to be passionate for him passionately on fire your heart's set ablaze and i just really feel just lift your hands up right now we're just gonna receive father we know that it's not by my it's not by our own ability our own power but we know our enablement comes lord when we get the eye out of the way lord we need to pass our tests and get on with what you have and lord we know apart from you we really can't do anything effective but with you we can do all things and father i pray for a pastor passionate pursuit of you in the hearts and lives of every person listening to hear personally or on the internet father we pray for a holy fire to set a blaze in them that there would be passionate times lord of seeking you and in prayer and father we thank you for igniting that which the enemy is trying to take out lord we thank you for a fresh flame a fresh fire a fresh desire and lord that they're gonna go 100 after the things of god and we thank you lord that our prayers are powerful and effective when we connect with you and when we use all the tools you've given us jesus your name your blood your word and the power of the holy spirit and lord we thank you today for the release of that which is needed and necessary for your people in jesus name and one little nugget i'm just going to leave with you and i want you to chew on this as as tom gets ready to come up when you go to speak and you speak with eternity on your lips from another realm that's when it's time for angels or demons to get moving because you're speaking out of a realm of authority amen that's just something that you want amen amen and we don't even know brother tom i only talked to him one minute and but you know what don't you love to flow hallelujah anybody received something already this morning so come on up we're going to pray over you and he's going to tell you his his name and everything where he's from he's been a missionary he's the son of glenn shaw what was your dad's david schmidt david schmidt missionary to china you were saying yes so we're just would you extend your hands to this precious brother come on over here thank you lord voted in jesus name this is a river of living water here you know did you get a mic yeah yeah you give me mike yeah hallelujah is that better just stick it up there hallelujah [Applause] so a little bit about myself um i was i'm a missionary here in america you know a missionary somebody comes from another nation to another nation to minister so i'm a missionary here from china see can't you tell [Applause] but uh that's one of the ones that i find when we do the uh ministry in china sometimes i get invites to the prayer mountains that they have and they love to say look and we even brought a foreigner with us and i'm like i'm not a foreigner i was born here but uh it is good my parents were missionaries to mongolia and they went by boat and by faith by god landed in china with ten dollars in their pocket yeah and and and no way to wire money to a bank so we live by faith and that's what i was born into find out about living by faith with god you don't always get what you want but you always get what you need some of you going about i don't like what i need sometimes children need chastisement and i have a few things i wanted and my wife's wondering when i'm going to clean them up and get rid of them i have a boat that the motor no longer runs it's sitting in my yard i keep saying i want to fix it i don't need it but that's just one of those things but praise god we we had back in the 90s i was ministering in russia and god called me to go back to china and 97 and i i went back into hong kong and uh just a little bit of background there um went into hong kong and started ministering things developed my my father had actually started seven churches in hong kong it's really easy you start a church you find somebody who's a bible school graduate and shove them in the place and tell them he's the pastor and then you go on and start another one but uh anyway over the years we saw god move and today one of the fastest growing churches in hong kong is one that my dad started so praise god um but it's in the new territories and god is doing some um it really is doing stuff and their church moves forward on prayer one of the things they do is every every sunday after church service they go out and they drive around the city praying which is cool there's just some different things we do but anyway moving on just a short one of the things a friend of mine asked he does crusades world missions alliance they take small crusades they get groups to go of people like you and they put you to work and i've been working with him for a number of years and saw his passion and saw the opportunity to get the church as a whole i tell you a miracle is to get the pentecostals and the methodists the assemblies of god and and baptists all working together on the mission field and that's what he has that anointing so i talked to him about doing some crusades or doing some ministry in china and that was 97 and he's he said i don't know i'm so involved in russia i said but i know what god's been saying and it was like the heart of god was crying at that time it was like there's so much to do in russia but it's time to turn your eyes on china because the door is small short the window of opportunity is short and so many will be lost in russia because i'm turning my resources over towards china don't you know the time is short so we went and talked to chuck and helen and they said well you know what we're not really interested in going to china but if we did we want to hold crusades hand out bibles minister to the people the orphans and the widows and the strangers and like you can't do that in china you can't hold crusades if you can't legally hand out bibles you know they have that's why they have bible these carriers that they call donkeys they carry bibles into china uh so i said okay well you guys pray you know it's a good way to catch someone is ask them to pray because then their spirit starts aligning with god's will you know some of you guys have been praying for a long time asking god what is it that i'm to do go read jesus's mission statement wherever you are you're supposed to cleanse the leopard heal the sick raise the dead proclaim liberty to those who are in prison wherever you are whatever you are that's really your job so instead of waiting for god to send you on a mission it's just start working on it wherever you are and see god do the rest so we went into i went over there to hong kong and i knocked on a few doors and talked about this need and what happened is just a few days before i was supposed to come back to the states i get this phone call and this guy says be at the train station sunday morning instant in season and be ready to go to china and preach in the government church and i'm like okay i don't know this guy he's supposed to be my interpreter i'm supposed to meet him at this train station never seen him before in my life thank god for cell phones and so that transition happened and i got into china and i got to preach in the government church and my mission my message that morning was yea though the visionary it shall surely come to pass even if you die even if you die some of us think well what god spoke to me is over when i die but i told him when my father was a in bible school up in british columbia there was a vision that he would give his life for the gospel in china and i said 1997 came along and what happened hong kong became part of china but until then my father couldn't go into china because china was closed to the gospel for people to come openly that's why they had an underground church and so what happened then is my father is doing what he can for the lord in whatever way he could work for the lord but he wasn't preaching in china i know some people think hong kong was part of china but it was not it was part of the british crown colonies in 1997 the handover happened seven days later he fell dead he gave his life for the gospel in china god will always fulfill his word and so i shared this with them the pastors in china and with the people and we had an altar call and that was a little bit of an issue for the pastor because the way they understood it is you were added to the church when you signed your name on the roll and that was you were now part of the church you don't need an altar call so they added them to the church daily to sign your name and you become part of the church you're on the roll when the roll is called up yonder i'll be there so that was their perception and after church we went out to eat and i met with the pastors and the head of religious affairs it was a good communist and uh they talked about my parents and their and what they had done and what what we were doing there in hong kong and this i hadn't had i happened to have a business card that i handed to them and they looked at the business card and passed it around it was my father's business card i was going to make a copy for my brother who is now in china and i ask you to pray for him because there's a lot of issues going on with covet and there's a lot of fear but that elderly man he was in his 80s he looked at this business card and he started saying what's it though boxy what's a doll and i like what's he you know he's like i know this man and like my father had not been in china he had been many years and this older man is saying i know this man and his testimony came out that this elderly man had been an officer during the korean war and after all those soldiers went to the front believing that mao zedong was the man sent from god to lead their nation and they came back so many died that they were disheartened and started throwing away the little red books and in that process he escaped out of china and went to hong kong and into this picture my father being a missionary pastor passes along the way and sees this man who has no food nowhere to stay hungry and thirsting beggar on the side of the road and he gave this man something to drink and something to eat and helped him to a church and a job years later he might immigrated to canada married and he thought that was it and one day god said i want you to go back to china i'm getting ready to do something that was the month before and he's sitting in that place and he's sharing his testimony and you know to me i don't really know this guy he's like a nobody but after the meeting after the launch he comes over to me and he asked me what do you want to do in china and i said okay well you know it's just me talking to you right i want to we want to hold crusades we want to hand out bibles we want to visit your your hospitals your widows and your orphans and just and he looked in my eyes and asked me the question how long do you want to do this that man had clout because of his position that he had had before and today there are 13 churches that have over 3 000 people in it because of what god started [Applause] the government signed the declaration the religious affairs signed a declaration demanding that we bring revival fired to china because they never ask they have to demand the government if we supply them the money prints bibles at five dollars a piece they get taken to the churches where the distributed every time somebody comes forward for salvation they're done on the same presses that once printed mao zedong's thoughts and the military delivers them [Applause] that's what god does and you say but my life is over with and god promised you it shall surely come to pass so i want to talk to you a little bit you know i i thought about you telling me you were a free church and i told your pastor a little bit of a story i was in the philippines at a pastor's church he's a good friend of mine and he needs a touch from god his name's daniel soriano he's still working for god with most of his heart is dead and he's still going up into the mountains and preaching and he has a lovely family but at that time i was there they had a graduating class from their bible school and he said he asked the foreign pastors to come and share a little bit and he wanted me to teach on the feasts of israel well i never taught on it i've taken some bible school courses so he wanted something to talk to those new soon-to-be pastors i preached probably an hour and he asked me is that all you got so i preached another hour and a half we took a lunch break and he asked me is that all you got i think my god this guy is really pushing it after seven hours of teaching on the feasts which i wish i had recorded because most of it was supernatural i was wanting you know what's what you know what's good when you want to stop and take notes after seven hours of pulling everything i had in me out we're visit sitting around at dinner time he says man i thought you'd never stop [Laughter] i misunderstood [Laughter] but anyway is that all you got but i was thinking about what you were saying pastor about the fruits of the spirits and and the prayer in james 5 16 and the things is is i can't find the holy spirit or anything it does as a noun i always find it as a verb it's an action word love joy peace long suffering all those things gentleness faith modesty self-control chastity passion they're all verbs you can't love if you don't act you can't be passionate about god and not do something and you can't have long suffering if you're sitting at home not doing anything you got to get out there where suffering occurs to your flesh so that you can learn long suffering but i want to go to a little thought and it's in joel the book of joel and that's chapter 2 28 and it shall come to pass afterward that i will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall see visions this was referred to in acts 2 17 and also upon this servants upon your handmaidens in those days i will pour out my spirit i will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth blood and fire pillars and smoke and the sun shall turn into darkness the moon into blood before the great and terrible day of the lord come to pass now is that not what peter was talking about when he addressed the men of jerusalem well guess what that wasn't the day that it was supposed to happen he talked about it but he was not in the time when the sun and the moon would start reacting and that the lava flows would occur and all the world would be in a turmoil that was not the time and he says this is that which the prophet spoke but we know it isn't that because that time had yet not yet come we are living in that time but peter was not but the bible doesn't lie so we have to say this is that but how can this be that if that has not yet happened if you read earlier in joel he says there in verse 23 it'll happen and that this is the is the time when the former rain and the latter rain happen okay now this is where peter is the former rain had already happened the old revival is dead and gone the latter rain had not yet happened so what happened in the upper room for a moment for a moment what had died and what had not yet been birthed came to life and it was a transition between what was and what shall be now every church that is operating under the power and the anointing of the holy spirit will have transitioners in it now going back to that in joel he said the old man will dream dreams and your young man shall see visions correct okay the original hebrew isn't quite like that when original hebrew says your dreamers the ones who dream who have a dream they are there in that picture the visionaries are the ones who take that dream and run with it and cause it to come to pass but what he doesn't say is there has to be something that causes the young men to get to get catch become contagious with the dream there is the dreamer and there is the visionary but somewhere in the middle there had to be a transitionary do you see that and the apostolic anointing will always be evident in a church that is filled with transitionaries because that is the job of the apostolic anointing you see what peter was doing was operating under the apostolic anointing and he pulled in what was dead and he called in what is not was alive and said this is now that which was is do you understand that if you are transitionaries you are called into taking the transition of what dreams that those had had from god had died in it and never saw them come to pass and those who yet have not got any vision and you take that which is dead and that which is not yet and you cause it to come to life to the power of the holy spirit that's when if you go back to genesis chapter one the earth was dead the earth had void don't you know everything they've been doing without god is void and what god wanted to do in creation had not yet happened so what came into the picture the holy spirit and it stirred the waters of the deep and it caused that which was dead to come to life and what yet had not come to pass would be would be founded on the power of the holy spirit you say what god is wanting to do has not come to pass yet in the nations what god wants to do it's not time quite yet it's almost there but we're still looking towards those signs but i'm telling you brothers and sisters that if you actually were to commit yourself to a transitionary anointing that which has not yet come to pass can come to pass [Applause] it takes love years ago in my morning prayer time day after day pastor i saw this vision and it was seven chests and they had not yet opened or at least they were not open at that time they were locked and being a good logical person i'm trying to think of no okay now how do you unlock this promise from god and how do you unlock and what's the keys to the kingdom and god wasn't saying anything he just kept showing me seven chests this has happened for several years and i'm like well what good is this showing you a revelation if you don't have the key to open it you know sorry god but it was lame and then one day in my prayer time i saw a different vision i saw twin streams of light flowing through seven padlocks and they all snapped open at the same time i'm like what is this that i'm seeing and he said it's the master key it's like it's a master key okay i'm the idiot here please help me i said where do you get it from and he laughed he said i already gave it to peter a long time ago but it hasn't happened yet because it's a frequency key you know so you know we got a little key okay it was red and blue and he said light and sound holy spirit word and he took me to different scriptures i wish you were either hot or cold red or blue and what he was showing me was that i have not i saw at different periods of the church some of these have been opened but not all seven at the same time because of our hearts not right it would destroy us the power that's in those seven chests and what he was showing me though was that this frequency was love god and love your neighbor and it hasn't worked because we've not allowed the frequency to become correct to the refining of the holy spirit but when your heart becomes in tune with the frequency of heaven then god knows and it will happen and everything this chur this world needs will be made available to the body of christ at one moment in one time and all you have to do is be transitionaries take that apostolic anointing what has not yet come to pass what has already died and god can change you know you see the apostles i mean the the the you see the prophet standing there in the wilderness and he said all i see is a valley of dry bones can this live and you go to different churches and all i see is a valley of dry bones can this live but if you speak it through the power of the holy spirit and with the word and you have the mind of god you have the same creative force that created this universe and it's flowing in you sometimes i think the biggest thing that the devil has successfully established in your mind and heart is that you are smaller than what god believes you are so let me just share with you this thought all of the universe when you go out tonight and look up at the stars think about this all of the universe cannot contain all of god but there is something that can and that's you so which is greater you or the universe it's a picture of the grand canyon christian geologists discovered that at one time there was a great flood it's a great revelation and and that after the flood there was a damned up lake that and the lake came because of what was all right and one day that dam was shaken the results of that flood is what you see today is called the grand canyon god made a river that washed all that to the ocean in one moment and what was what was which wasn't now became what you see because the power of god was released into a situation what can god do to this world in a moment through you that you could take the dreams of the prophets the hagins and the heflins and those who walk be in the shards and those who walk before you they died with that dream still not completed and you've got young men and women who are falling by the wayside and coming out of the church because they do not have a vision the dreamers are dead that had the dream the visionaries have not yet been birthed inside of them what they need is a transitioner and you can be that church that transitions what god dreamed into the now and you don't have to wait till tomorrow peter didn't why should we god loves you amen oh by the way my ministry name that god gave me was rivers of refreshing in the desert amen is is that all you have no [Applause] i went from genesis to ripley that was good that was good i like these shirts same man is it
