welcome to the watchmen's corner this is your host jeremiah johnson i'm excited today to bring to you a message broadcast live from around our nation you know in the midst of covet 19 god is seeking a radical remnant calling us to the front lines of the battle i know that you'll be blessed by today's message and i encourage you to hang in there after this message for a special time of prayer check it out malachi 4 5-6 behold i am going to send you elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the lord and he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers lest i come and smite the land with a curse if i had an alternate title for this message it would actually be called lifting the curse off this generation i'm calling it the spirit and power of elijah but if i had an alternate title i would actually call it lifting the curse off of this generation now malachi prophesies that the spirit of elijah would come we know in part that john the baptist jesus confirmed came in the spirit and power of elijah zachariah his father makes mention of the prophecy of the destiny but i believe that even as john the baptist came in his generation to prepare them for the first coming of the lord so in this generation god is raising up a people in the spirit of elijah john the baptist forerunner type messengers and to me it really comes in a two-fold strand one we are going to see the hearts of fathers and mothers turn toward their sons and daughters but we're also going to see the hearts of sons and daughters turn to their fathers and mothers we know that god gave eve to adam and said be fruitful and multiply god has always wanted to take dominion in the earth through family through family through covenant and we obviously know that that's maybe what the devil has attacked the most in this generation he's attacked marriage and he's attacked family now it's been interesting as i travel the nation in charismatic pentecostal services that many people are more willing to fall down at an altar than reconcile with their own children remember i told you god's going to minister to your heart tonight see we run into people all the time who want revival they want to steward the presence of god in a church service but they've never learned how to steward the presence of god in their home there's a generation of people out there they no longer go to church because they associate revival with divorce they associate a move of god with my parents are a wall pursuing god and i believe the spirit and power of elijah is coming to this generation and the move of god that's coming i fear many will miss it because they're more willing for god to touch everyone else but their own home so there's going to be a challenge there's going to be a confrontation there's going to be a tension that i believe god himself is going to release tonight and he is going to ask us as fathers and mothers is your heart turned toward your sons and daughters and then the lord is also going to ask some of us are as sons and daughters is our hearts turned toward the fathers and the mothers lord release a spirit of reconciliation release a spirit of restoration i'm asking for creative miracles not in necessary your legs or your limbs i'm asking for creative miracles in your bloodline i'm looking for a people to get fired up to get a spirit of revival fire that burns brightest in their marriage i believe that revival is healthy marriages and children that are raised in the fear and the admonition of the lord but again i want to say it one more time and i'll move on there's a major tension a confrontation going on in the charismatic pentecostal movement across the earth and the tension the confrontation is coming to a generation who loves revival they love awakening but it hasn't touched their home yet lord move on our hearts so what i see is lawlessness running in this nation i see specifically young people who don't know how to honor their father and mother it's interesting that the only the only commandment that was sent from the old to the new with a promise was honor your father and mother in fact jesus quotes it in matthew and he says honor your father and mother lest you live under a curse same language as malachi uses well brother you don't know my parents see i want to talk biological and i want to talk spiritual i think when we begin to talk about honor we have to recognize that honor does not require agreement if honor requires agreement then you better join the cult i can honor a father or a mother and still disagree with them well brother you don't know who they are what they did what they said to me no the bible says honor your father and mother there there's no addendums there's no room for but you don't know what they did i believe that the lord is releasing a spirit of reconciliation it's a spirit of forgiveness see i don't have to wait to forgive someone for them to say sorry the power of forgiveness is if i choose not to forgive you i enslave myself into a prison it's like a chain and ball i wonder how many people in this room you don't need another prophecy you just need to learn how to forgive it's not another wild encounter at church that's hindering you from your destiny it's actually the spirit and power of elijah coming to your family turning your heart toward that family member that hurt you saying father would you teach me how to honor my father and my mother lord release that i've been praying that every day release the spirit because we need the help of the holy spirit to forgive well where was god he was right there telling them not to do it god is not the author of your pain i want to say it again there's a revival coming and i fear many will miss it because the revival coming for many it will happen in your home not in that quote house of god there's a spirit and power of elijah that's coming to restore to reconcile to release forgiveness to knit hearts its coming just as malachi prophesied i had just started the ministry i was about two years in serving as an associate in college pastor at a church i took about a hundred students up to a conference with rick joyner it's called the great awakening i was in the back and had an encounter with the lord he called me to plant a church i said oh god no growing up a pastor's son i realize that sheep bite can laugh it's a joke not really last thing that i ever wanted to do but the lord said that's what you're going to do i went back and consulted with some fathers in my life i said i don't know what what should i do they said well why don't you you get a a meeting with the pastor that you've been serving who had become like a father in my life they said just just share with them the vision i said i don't really know the time frame maybe it's a few years out but i know the lord spoke to me so going off of their counsel i got a meeting with this man he said words to me that i'll never forget he said jeremiah if you want to plant a church now or ever within 50 miles of here you're fired i went in thinking that i was doing the honorable thing going to someone that had authority over my life in advance just sharing the vision met with hey basically now wherever you're fired i had just got married we had gotten a house that we were housing lots of college students i literally remember stumbling out of the church weeping totally caught off guard the spirit of rejection beginning to get a hold of me i called those who had advised me they couldn't believe it the next day i got a phone call from the district office there was word on the street that jeremiah johnson was a false prophet and they were going to reject my credentials with this certain denomination i was brought into a board meeting of some very high ranking officials in the denomination to give a report of what was false testimony that was being spoken against me essentially character assassination i remember calling again a father in my life just the the sting of bitterness and unforgiveness and i said i i don't even know why i should walk through those doors i'm gonna be set on trial and the man said to me jeremiah you need this for your destiny you need to feel the pain and the sting of rejection so that you never do it to anybody else look at me look at me i wonder how many people in this room have been rejected by a pastor you think it was in vain and here's redemption for you god allowed you to feel the sting of rejection so you'll never do it to anyone some of you came two hours just for that see you can be rejected but not walk with the spirit of rejection walk into the meeting get totally filled get rebuked get corrected i mean get stripped i stumble out of the meeting crying again i fall on my floor my wife is like you know hold me like i'm some little baby said oh it's gonna be okay huddy i said lord what do i do he said fulfill the vision that i've given you he said i want you to take their picture my wife literally sat in the bed and cried for six months the pastor that said 50 miles or ever pastor's wife was my wife's best friend i mean terrible pain and rejection again just a young couple trying to get into ministry the lord said i want you to put their picture on your fridge and every morning that you wake up i want you to pray for them i not only want you to pray for them i want you to ask me to bless them we're talking today about honoring your father and mother we're talking about honor does not require agreement we're talking about if god says honor them you do with the very best of your ability to honor and release them to the lord i can't tell you how many mornings i woke up and wanted to trash that picture i wanted to light it on fire i wanted to do all sorts of fleshly stuff and we would grab hands and we would pray two months in the lord says great now it's time to sow see i don't really consider myself a prosperity preacher but i will tell you this i believe that some people your key to freedom from unforgiveness is called your wallet no you didn't hear me your money god said i want you to begin to sow financially into their ministry every month anonymously we didn't just give we gave till it hurt there became a process where the lord began to supernaturally heal us and set us free about two years into the church plan i got a call one day it was the pastor he said hey jeremiah could i get get subway with you i said yeah sure pulled up the subway and he said man i just want to tell you i'm so sorry sorry for what i did to you i'm all all these different things and see i knew i had forgiven him because i felt nothing there there wasn't a need for reconciliation hear me because i had already reconciled with him in my heart he said we're heading to the mission field we're believing god i said pastor our church would like to be your number one supporters do you know today in lakeland florida at heart of the father ministry our church is the number one supporter of a man that betrayed me and they don't even know it how would the spirit and power of elijah like to rise up in you what kind of reconciliation or restoration would you like to see him do or are you still waiting on them see they haven't said sorry yet that's not what i'm they haven't they haven't oh this is an issue of our own hearts this is an issue of our own healing our own forgiveness my father did the work of the ministry for 20-something years and my mom literally lost her mind jumped off the deep end was diagnosed bipolar schizophrenic one of the hardest days of my life was having to baker act her your own mother screaming yelling cursing going crazy i'm crying i'm a mess the only thing that i knew how to do she literally blew up our family i'm one of four boys several of the brothers ran away from the lord i have a brother right now that's serving 10 years in a maximum security prison we all make our own choices but he was certainly affected by hers i remember the day i heard a message on forgiveness by dr mark rutland the spirit of god was all over me and i was wrestling and i was telling the lord she did this and she did that and she's responsible for this and the spirit of the lord literally came upon me and whispered this to me he said jeremiah i want you to forgive her because as long as you don't forgive her and honor her you will never get on with your destiny i'm prophesying to you tonight this might not be what you want to hear but i'm prophesying to you by the word of the lord for many of you forgiveness is the key to your destiny not another tickle me elmo prophecy that's what i call them give me something that gratifies me me me me no the lord jesus says forgive me i remember saying yes lord his hand literally supernaturally pulled all the bitterness and the pain out of me i called her on the phone and said mom i forgive you you know what she said for what to add insult to injury how about that for those of us that were sexually abused how about that when the man or the woman that abused you or hurts you or stole your innocence will not even acknowledge your pain how about that anger how about that rage or do we just want to play church this weekend see i'm hearing the spirit of jeremiah who said in chapter 6 and chapter 8 you are addressing the wounds of my people superficially you are saying peace peace when there is no peace i know there's a lot of talk about fake news in america i'm here to talk about the fake church no when do we want to really start dealing with our marriages when do we want to really start dealing with our families when do we want to begin to inherit the spirit and the power of elijah that is coming upon the church before the great and terrible day of the lord she said for what i said mom that's okay i forgive you fast forward to a few years ago i was on the sid roth it's supernatural show for another book that i've written that's back on the table called i see a new prophetic generation there was a man there being interviewed as well his name was leif hetland has anybody heard of laith powerful ministry to the muslim nations and he we had dinner before one of the the sets and he said tell me your story so i began to tell them my story about my mom and my dad about how i put my my my bible college experience on hold and i went and served my dad he fell apart as my mom lost her mind as i tried to honor my mom i told him the story about the pastor the father figure that had hurt me and trying to honor him the best that i could and he looks at me at the end of the conversation and he says how old are you and at the time i was 28 years old i'm 31 now and he said do you know why have you ever thought why the lord has elevated you in given you such favor around the nations have you ever stopped to wonder and i said to be honest with you no he said you know the secret i said no he said you chose to honor your father and mother and he began to prophesy and he began to say jeremiah there's a generation that's coming that will walk in supernatural favor and power and it won't be because of their gifting it won't be because it will be because they've chosen to honor their father and mother the spirit and power of elijah is coming to this nation to turn the hearts of fathers and mothers to their children and to turn the hearts of children to their parents so god i'm asking tonight as we begin to get into this a little bit deeper god i'm asking tonight as you're bringing up the faces you're bringing up the trauma you're bringing up the names you're bringing up the experiences holy spirit would you come now and bring healing release the spirit and power of elijah to lancaster god i want to pray crazy prayers lord that you would teach us how to honor the sauls if we want the authority that saul walked in we have to learn how to honor him the bible says that david's conscious smote him because he cut off even a piece of saul's garment maybe you're serving a saul to get the saul out of you am i in the right place oh yeah we're going there there there was revival there that week and where in my heart i was cleansed i was purified i was washed i got my marriage back i got my sons and daughters back what more are we really looking for that we could save the whole world and not our family god released the spirit and power of elijah now i want to jump up a little bit to talk about what i believe god is saying on a national level there are many people in this generation that are asking where are the spiritual fathers where are the spiritual mothers now that could be in part because i minister to lots of millennials lots of young people like constantly i i counseled a guy the other day 50 something years old in search of a spiritual father young women where where's a spiritual mom i think that that's a legitimate question to ask because again when the spirit and power of elijah comes the hearts of mothers and fathers will turn toward the sons and daughters and also the hearts of sons and daughters will turn toward mothers and fathers so there's been this question where are the mothers and fathers sons and daughters seeking them out but what i would like to propose to you tonight is this is there not also validity where we're saying where are the spiritual mothers and fathers is not just as equal question this where are the sons and daughters what kind of son or daughter are you preparing yourself to be spiritually fathered and mothered because i run into a lot of people they don't want a spiritual father they want a sugar daddy they're just looking for someone with a platform that can open up doors for them see there's this craze in social media i call it rent a daddy so you can find an apostle and pay them a monthly fee for their name and they're your daddy but you don't even have their phone number see the devil has exploited this generation's need for mothering and fathering through marketing tactics so i i need a mom or dad no you're just an opportunist and my heart breaks for so many in this generation because for so many unless you're famous a lot of these young people won't give you the time of day i see so much dishonor in local churches because people in the church want their pastor to be apostle doodad or prophet billy bob and because he's not national and he doesn't preach like them we're going to dishonor him when the truth is because i can tell you both traveling and pastoring it's way harder to do this than blow in and out of cities vomiting revelation and getting people emotionally stirred up where are the mothers where are the fathers okay i hear you but i believe god is saying to this generation but where are the true sons and daughters where are the men and women who are willing to give honor who are willing to serve who don't feel entitled who are just ready to honor so god began to say to me we have not honored our spiritual fathers in this nation god began to talk to me as the american church and say we have not honored our spiritual fathers in this nation so i've been having this interesting encounter with the lord ongoing the last three months or so where i have begun to research what several men in this nation said to the church in their dying days what have the spiritual fathers in america said to the church in their dying days so specifically names that have been coming to me that i've been researching are bill bright david wilkerson oral roberts leonard ravenhill billy graham so the lord has invited me personally and i believe it's a corporate word for the church god is saying we have not honored our spiritual fathers in this nation and if the spirit and power of elijah comes we not only need this on a personal level but we also need this on a national level in other words are you and i being good stewards of the word of the lord are we heeding are we hearing are we obeying what god is saying i got in trouble last year at a conference by making this statement and i still stand by it the prophetic movement has become drunk on hearing god at the expense of obeying god [Music] how many more people will you meet that have had about 500 prophetic words from every prophet known to man that's come into town and they still haven't obeyed the last one we need to learn how to partner how to obey the word that god has already god is going to raise up the scribes again god told me there's a scribe anointing coming to the body where people are going to begin to write down and steward and treasure in their heart what the lord is saying lord i want meat and vegetables not more ice cream lord i want weighty i want substance i want a word from you that's going to shift the season that i'm living in god give me the word of the lord give me a word from god that strikes my family give me a word from god that strikes my marriage not more cars and more houses and all these personal it's it's the spirit of baal it's the culture of self that has infiltrated the prophetic movement where it is teaching us to fix our gaze away from the lord and onto ourself when what i'm saying tonight is the lord is going to release the spirit and power of elijah to teach us how to honor the word of the lord lord let it be a precious thing lord release of fear sometimes we're so used to god speaking and i wonder is he really speaking could jeremiah have been right that there are people prophesying that god hasn't spoken to there are people traveling that god hasn't sent there are men and women giving out a free facebook word every day like a fortune cookie type amen next the word of the lord should be esteemed it should be valued it should make us tremble i'm okay if god only gives me one word a year well he did he did prophesy over me i drove all that way we get the emails we get the dough i can't give an offering i didn't get a word it's like we pressure these prophets into prophesying and they won't get a good love offering so i've been telling people hey it's a good thing if you don't get a word it means you don't need one feel sorry for the people that do no i'm just kidding listen i'm around prophets all the time they don't have nothing to say i say praise god we'll get to know each other so oral roberts bill bright i've been i've been what did they say god what are you saying are you still with me tonight [Applause] just inviting you on this journey that the lord has me on as a son in the body of christ i believe god is turning the hearts of sons and daughters back to the fathers and mothers the lord reminded me of this verse isaiah 57 1 the righteous man perishes and no man takes it to heart devout men are taken away when no one understands do we look at the death of billy graham do we look at the death of oral roberts ravenhill wilkerson do we stop and consider what these fathers katherine kuhlman the mothers do we stop to consider what they said to this nation in their dying days isaiah he's saying take note do you recognize the critical and transitional hour you're living in great men and women die and no one says where's the next no one says who have they raised up no one says what did they say i began to look specifically in the old testament and the findings are startling eighteen kings in israel all 18 of them failed to walk in the ways of their father david 18 kings in judah and only half nine of them walked in there fought in the ways of their father david so three-fourths 75 of the men who took the throne in israel and judah 75 of them did not honor their father it lines up with the parable of the sower where only one-fourth of the soil was fit to bear forth fruit with all of this in mind i began to consider and do some research and read what some of these generals in our day have said if you'd bear with me a few minutes i'd like to read what they said and holy spirit i just pray that whatever piece of this whatever seed you want to sow in our hearts that you would in 1995 in his book the coming revival bill bright called 2 million christians to a 40-day fast to pray that god would have mercy on america and not send judgment how many people remember that this is what he said god does not tolerate sin the bible in history make this painfully clear i believe god has given ancient israel as an example of what will happen to the united states without revival he will continue to discipline us with all kinds of problems until we repent or we are destroyed as was ancient israel because of her sin and disobedience in 1999 david wilkerson wrote a book called america's last call he said our nation right now is receiving its final call to repentance just prior to a great judgment i believe a coming economic and social collapse is coming not because i have a prophetic word rather i've simply just studied god's word i've discerned from the scriptures that god is dealing with america in the same way he has dealt with other nations who have forsaken him the fact is god's ways are absolutely unchangeable when it comes to his dealings with sinful nations god works the same in every generation because he is just in 2009 billy graham wrote and said you do not need special revelation to know that america is under the strong judgment of god it will soon be too late without a witness of spiritual awakening or the punitive judgment of god upon this nation in july 2012 billy graham wrote a letter to the church entitled my heart aches for america he says some years ago my wife ruth was reading a draft of a book i was writing on the downward spiral of our moral standards in america and the idolatry of worshiping entertainment and sex she startled me by saying if god does not judge america he will have to apologize to sodom and gomorrah millions of babies have been aborted this is 2012 and our nation seems largely unconcerned self-centered indulgence pride a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the american lifestyle we are living in a culture that tries not to offend anyone but god my heart aches for america and its deceived people thomas raynor in his book the emergent generation estimates that those born after 1984 only four percent of them are actually involved in church for all my millennial fellows regular church attendance is more than once a month i know you have to say that isn't it so funny so many of us millennials felt like our parents forsook us at church so we're done with the church because we were neglected but now one of the number one idols among millennial parents is their children one of the number one idols among millennial parents is called their kids we are raising them in child-centered homes which is anti-biblical we are called to raise our children in parent-centered homes welcome to the world where it's not about you because if we raise our children with the understanding that it's all about them they will grow up and be enemies of the gospel that was for free in may 2014 billy graham's daughter ann graham lotz stood before the national day of prayer breakfast and read the verse out of jolt 2. will you turn there and i'll begin to land the plane tonight i want to do what we used to do in church i don't know if you do it here but we're going to get on our knees we're going to turn around in our chairs we're going to fill up this altar we're going to make crooked pass straight we're going to make wrong things right we're going to believe for massive restoration and reconciliation here i want to encourage you go on youtube type in ann graham lots national prayer breakfast the best 10 minutes you've spent in years it is astounding i'm telling you if you will go back and begin to listen to what the men and women of our past have declared to this nation there's no way the spirit of conviction will not fall upon you there is no way that the spirit of god won't rise up in you and say oh my gosh we have not honored our fathers we have not honored our mothers so she stands up at the national prayer breakfast and graham lots and she reads joel 2 15. now i'm guessing most of us know this know know the the um excuse me she actually read um joel 2 15 yeah i'm where we need to be blow a trumpet in zion consecrate a fast proclaim a solemn assembly so she blows up the breakfast put away the pancakes and eggs i just did that recently our poor youth pastor is trying to raise money for the youth group and god started moving in the sunday morning so i called the spontaneous fast blow a trumpet in zion consecrate a fast proclaim a solemn assembly gather the people sanctify the congregation assemble the elders gather the children and the nursing infants let the bridegroom come out of his room and the bride out of her bridal chamber let the priests of the lord ministers his ministers weep between the porch and the altar turn to joel chapter one sound the alarm does anyone like alarm clocks it's almost like the deeper you're asleep the more you hate that thing it's just going wah as if the spiritual fathers and mothers in our nation have not been going see you're starting to see the church awaken somewhat over this issue of abortion and all of a sudden we're starting to awaken from our slumber as if a generation didn't cry out in the 1970s when roe v wade was ruled it's like many of them i just read it today many of them prophesied of infants being killed outside the womb they warned that this would come they warned that what would come after infants being killed in the womb was we would begin to euthanize old people they begin to say this sounds hitler-like wah see the lord is raising up watchmen he's raising up voices he's raising up people who are going to go against the grain he's raising up people that are going to champion families and marriages their messages won't be popular but they'll win the applause of heaven as john knox who believed for revival in scotland once said if you're going to preach repentance you had better pledge your head to heaven first see these men of god who we've been reading and graham lotz this woman of god there was this high price to pay there was this sounding of an alarm and sometimes those of us who sound the alarm we get weary we get tired because no one is listening we feel fiercely we live ahead of our time the lord is calling a generation the table saying will you listen will you honor the fathers and mothers lord i'm sorry we haven't listened please forgive me but lord i'm awake i'm alert and i'm gonna take seriously what you're saying amen how many of you are i mean i don't know how you can pray and not but how many of you you're feeling the tremors in this nation in the spirit realm you're you're beginning feel the immense groan the travail the weight the burden i watch the state of the union address i mean praise god i guess okay we we don't want infants to be you know killed full term but what happened to them being killed at all i took it as a concession chief justice roberts this morning supposed to be conservative god centered values ends up siding with a liberal agenda in louisiana listen this isn't about supreme court justices and whether you like clinton or trump the church has to do her job you and i are called to be a fortress of truth you and i are called to be the light of the world the hope of the world we are called to be stewards and carriers of the word of the lord even it's interesting trump in this whole cyrus narrative that was prophesied by isaiah years in advance if you know your bible history cyrus comes in to destroy israel and the only reason why the king of persia did not destroy israel is because the priests came out with isaiah's prophecy and said we knew you were coming see in that instance their ability to carry and recognize the word of the lord spared their own life i wonder how many times god has spoken no he's shouted over us and we have not heeded his word amen god when i hear the true word of the lord i don't want to clap and say oh that's a good word and go home like business as usual lord when i hear an alarm i'm telling you there are messengers coming to the church they're not here to stroke you they are here to provoke you they are coming in the spirit and power of elijah and they will draw a line in the sand and ask you which god will you serve [Music] they're fearless they have a mandate they're carriers of the word of the lord i've been coming with a burden for this region for lancaster it's like the lord's been saying has this city been good stewards of the word of the lord have you written down the prophecies have you prayed them have you listened to them have you believed them not only for this city but for your own life i have a whole box full of prophecies even cassette tapes from when i was seven years old at the end of every year i pull out every prophecy i receive and i ask myself have i partnered with the word of the lord i don't believe god is going to release a new word until i get a hold of the old word i don't believe god has a new word for america it's called second chronicles 7 14. [Music] what i loved about billy graham what i loved about wilkerson what i loved about all these spiritual fathers and i hope you caught it because it's important this is what they said because i know that there's this whole conflict about whether the judgment of god is for today and i know that people just want to hear about his mercy and his goodness and they don't want to hear anything about his severity they come to you and say brother what dream what vision what revelation what experience have you had to tell us what's going to happen to america you know what i love about every single one of them they said this i don't need a prophecy i don't need a dream i don't need an elijah list or a charisma experience i actually just need the bible because if you study the bible and you look at every culture that sacrificed its children to molech if you look at a culture that engaged in sexual immorality god judged them and if you look at this nation who's sacrificing its babies to molech who's legislating sexual immorality not just out there but in here it's behind the pulpit somebody wrote me the other day brother when are preachers gonna stand up and confront the immorality in the pew i said brother when is someone gonna address the immorality behind the pulpit how we doing that's what i asked when the deer in the headlight anointing is really just it's flowing tonight we just we want a word lord told me the other day the spirit of the athenians has come upon the charismatic church there were the athenians they always wanted something new they wanted something sensational they wanted they wanted us they what's the dream what's the revelation what's the vision read your bible if we build upon a man if we build upon a personality if we run with a word or a vision and we don't have the word of god we're in error i want to call you out i want i want to say come out of the dreams and the revelations in the third heavens and get your bible and read genesis to revelation to hold up the word of god in this generation and say there's a standard there's a plumb line and if you cross the plumb line like any loving father he will discipline you not because he hates you but because he loves you amen there are signs all around us i'm almost done there are signs all around us there are alarms going off in this nation but here's what the lord said to me failure to accurately interpret the signs of the times will lead to a culture of prayerlessness failure to accurately interpret the signs of the times will lead to a culture of prayerlessness are you accurately interpreting what just happened in new york are you reading it rightly there is no prayer in this church or that church tells me their heads in the sand i don't know how you can be looking around this nation and not being stirred i tell you i'm excited i look at wake up every day and i say lord it's incredible that we're living in this generation oh i want to meet paul i want to meet peter i'm here to tell you they want to meet you we're about to witness the spirit and the power of elijah fall upon this generation i believe we're going to see end time judgments begin to be released in the earth but i believe we're about to see a third great awakening in america i believe joel i believe the sons and daughters are going to prophesy i believe old men are going to dream dreams i believe miracles i believe in revival and judgment i believe we're going to see cities set on fire in america as a civil war over abortion comes and i also believe we're gonna see entire neighborhoods one in a day arise and shine for your light has come the glory of the lord rises upon you darkness will cover the people but the light of god will shine you do not have to choose between the severity and the judgment and the goodness of god you can behold them both some of you we think we're so spiritual because we don't have facebook i'm really going to get in trouble we think we're so spiritual because we don't have a social media account we're just meeting with peter and john in the upper room and we're we're fasting and praying somebody asked me other day if if paul the apostle was alive do you think that he would have a facebook i said absolutely why not use a tool that's an obvious platform to reach this generation to speak out truth i think it's insanity for any man or woman of god right now to be not be shouting from the rooftops about abortion i think people should be going bananas fighting for life we opened up our school of ministry i teach a revival history class on tuesdays and thursdays we just got done studying the first and second great awakening it it burns me up in america we want a third great awakening and no one knows anything about the first or second they don't know finney they don't know edwards they don't know wesley they don't know anybody study the history honor the mothers and the fathers so we get to class and i say welcome to revival history get in the van we're going to the abortion clinic i load up our students we go to the abortion clinic in our city and they're trembling they're afraid to get on a sidewalk in front of an abortion clinic with red life tape over our mouth and we're going to stand there and pray and cars are driving by flicking us off explicitives we're engaging in the fight a student walks up to me and tears and says how could you do that to us how could you do that to us i thought we were going to revival history class i said let me tell you something you know why we came out here for revival history class because in 50 years your grandchildren are going to ask you what revival looked like in your day and you're going to look them in the face and tell them there was no such thing as a third great awakening in america without contending against abortion i believe it's illegal to pray for revival in this nation without addressing the issue of abortion do we want to vote race or do we want to vote bible do we want to vote party or do we want to vote bible amen i'm telling you i know i'm going to offend somebody voting for people who support abortion makes me an accomplice to murder i'm telling you there's a civil war coming to america it will all center on abortion i believe the devil overplayed his hand in new york i believe that he just awakened the sleeping giant i believe a generation is rising who are going to begin to honor the fathers and mothers i'm telling you there's there's we spent some time is who knows mario marillo he was just in lakeland with us last week him and lou engel as a young man there's something that i notice and i say this with honor of course there's something that i notice with men and women in their 50s 60s and 70s there's something patriotic about them there's something loyal about them to our history there's something that i fear if they die this generation is going to go to the hell in the hand basket i i'm literally i'm desperate to give mothers and fathers in this nation a voice this is what i prophesied to rick joyner i believe the age group who is going to lead the next great awakening in america is the baby boomers i i don't think it's going to be a young people movement i'm oh jesus some of you are here for retirement and you came for refirement you need to get some fire up under your rear end and you need to stop caring about what young people think about you and speak the truth teach them some manners please i'm telling you honoring the fathers and the mothers will release the spirit and the power of elijah that we're missing in the church that will usher in the return of the lord i'm talking fathers and mothers walking with sons and daughters that's revival lord help us to honor so there's signs there's alarms joel 1 and we'll close joel 1. the word of the lord that came to joel the son of pithul hear this o elders and listen all inhabitants of the land has anything like this happened in your days or in your father's days tell your sons about it and let your sons tell their sons and their sons the next generation this is so important joel is calling at time out he he's calling a holy timeout he listen to these words hear this so elders and listen all inhabitants of the land has anything like this happened in your day he's saying shut down the noise turn off the television get in the place of prayer and ask yourself has anything like new york ever happened in your day has anything happened in california concerning the lgbt agenda has anything ever happened like that in the earth we have become desensitized to evil we have become like the frog in the boiling pot if you don't know my analogy what i'm referencing you put a frog in a boiling pan of water and as the water temperature rises the frog adjusts its body temperature but what ends up happening is when the water gets too hot it's too late and the frog has used its strength to blend into the water and when it's time to jump it can't we're living in a church culture who's trying to fit in they're trying to befriend they're trying to act like and talk like and look like the world and we need men and women no fathers and mothers to stand up and say listen i might sound old school i might look old school but i'm here to tell you jesus is the same yesterday today and forever we don't have a generation problem we have a sin problem if you're a mother and a father in this room shout amen [Music] [Applause] come on i'm telling you i feel that the voice of the accuser has been telling some of you to shut up he's been trying to beat you up he's trying to shove you into a closet of shame over your kids and the lord says tonight the power of shame and guilt and condemnation is broken off of your life in the name of jesus [Applause] you might not be able to change the past but you can start fresh today [Music] joel's saying hold on i couldn't believe that this thing happens in new york and all over america we just we keep we keep going we just i don't know how every church in america just literally didn't call a day of fasting and prayer and weeping and but we're being desensitized a little bit of this and a little bit of that and lord i want to be so soaked in your presence i want to be so in tune with your spirit i want to be like an alarm what am i afraid of but it's interesting it says tell your sons about it let your sons tell their sons and their sons tell their generation here let me give you the context what joel's talking about is a locust invasion in other words he's talking about economic collapse if you know your history joel comes before jeremiah here's my translation i believe i can back this up scripturally are you ready this is what joel is saying hey there's an economic invasion in this nation called israel and you better wake up you better tell your kids about it you better accurately interpret the judgment of god because if you don't in the days of jeremiah you think economic invasion is bad there's a day coming and it came in the days of jeremiah where there was a siege on the land and the mothers boiled their own children for food hey listen america you better wake up you think virginia's bad you think new york's bad wait till they start euthanizing the elderly see but no one wants to hear this oh brother take a chill pill bro are you all right i just preached in a city and this lady wrote me this letter i'm gonna ask for forgiveness because i know you beat your wife and kids i wrote her back i said i said man you're so passionate you're yelling i said ma'am being passionate being zealous declaring the truth has nothing to do with beating my wife and kids again it's like we have become desensitized god's in a good mood all the time just laugh and sing and play the flute don't play the dirge please keep john the baptist shut up in the back room no one wants to hear that guy just keep john shut up just play the flute i'm telling you the alarm is beginning to be sounded in this nation i believe the lord is giving especially mothers and fathers full out permission to shout from the rooftops we need to take ownership for our failure to honor the fathers and mothers of the past but i'm telling you there's a connection that joel is making here tell your sons and daughters what will the narrative be about new york when you have grandkids will you rightly tell them what we did or will you do a spin-off because this is what's happening we spin off the judgment of the lord in this nation because we don't like it and what we don't know is failure to recognize his judgments will simply increase them and our sons and daughters day [Music] all right you got two more minutes i'm going to keep laying this out because i'm telling you failure to accurately god saints are you interpreting what's happening are you interpreting what's happening in your family are we interpreting what's happening in this nation are we warning our sons and daughters are we rightly giving them what's happening or are we just smoothing it over let me give you a few points to take home here's the pastor in me we must hear the voices of our spiritual fathers communicated to our children lest further things come and our kids have no ears to hear the real prophetic voices i'm telling you why can't people recognize real prophets there there are there are so many folks listen there are not as many real prophets as you think he's a prophet you're a prophet business card prophet facebook prophet we're all prophets i've been asking around this nation where are the wilkersons where are the raven hills where are the steve hills see i'm pointing to a few select men or women of god that set their selves against the current culture of the church and feared god more than they feared man they're not here for a love offering there i didn't come here for money i didn't come here because you liked me i came here to declare the word of the lord we need prophets in this nation like machia i've been telling people the word of the lord is rarely mainstream what if the true word of the lord isn't on elijah list what if it's not in charisma magazine what if god has heard all the prophets and is still asking are there any others micaiah 401 elijah 8 50 to 1. what makes you think that they're really carrying the word of the lord are they preaching repentance are they preaching the fear of the lord when you hear them speak are you stirred to pray or are you tickled for another word i'm talking about the word of the lord that makes us tremble the word of the lord that doesn't have us i've been praying people they want me to pray oh you know your dreams you know i just pray for rest i've been praying unrest i've been ending my meetings with i pray for frank bartoman soul travail over you all i pray that you would get so burdened for your lost family members that you couldn't sleep for a week see we haven't taught this generation who the real prophets are so when the real word of the lord comes forth we reject it lord i want to be a father i want to be a mother in this generation who rightly discerns what the real word of the lord is and tell it to my children that's the word of the lord one couple of points to take home are we hearing seeing correctly turn off the noise stop becoming desensitized by evil the lord told me that the days of josiah are returning i literally believe that in some places the real word of the lord is going to cause people to literally rip their clothes i'm talking about when the real gospel the gospel of self-denial is preached to a generation like josiah they will rip their clothes put on sackcloth and ashes and say why didn't anyone ever tell me you have a responsibility to your children to guide them spiritually two we've got to interpret the lord said to me one of the number one gifts the church needs right now is the gift of interpretation lord help us to view the signs in this nation the signs and our family rightly let it stir prayer the lord said to me we love to bolster or ease our conscience with wrong biblical principles in an hour of crisis i want to say this and i'm done number three we love to bolster our comforts or ease our conscious with wrong biblical principles and an hour of crisis we are in an hour of crisis in this nation beware of people who are twisting the scriptures to keep zion at ease beware of the prophets who are saying peace peace when there is no peace let me give you an example and i'll close in isaiah chapters 35 and 36 the assyrians come and they lay siege to israel and hezekiah gets with the word of the lord and the word of the lord is i will take sennacherib by the mouth i will hook him and i will deliver you that's bible then a few chapters later the babylonians come hezekiah shows them the envelope everything and god says judgment is coming to your nation remember his words as a father that's okay at least it won't happen in my day how many fathers and mothers are sitting in a pew all over america unmoved by what's going on because they know what's really going to happen is going to happen when they're dead there's something that god has put in mothers and fathers that has called them to be protectors and defenders of their children are we on the wall are we praying are we fighting are we believing is the door open i know they're a prodigal i know there we lost contact that doesn't mean the door still can't be open so watch listen in the days of isaiah listen to me i the the sennacherib comes the word the word of prophecy is you're gonna be delivered a few chapters later in isaiah 40 babylon comes the word of judgment comes fast forward to jeremiah's day like we did from joel to jeremiah fast forward to jeremiah's day the babylonians show up and the false prophets quote the wrong scripture the false prophets quote the word to the king of assyria the they quote hey no the lord is going to deliver us they quote the wrong scripture in verse the right scripture in verse is isaiah 40. so this is what jeremiah says here's how you know who the false prophets are they take scripture out of context and you better believe this is happening right now they take scriptures out of context and tell the people in days of crisis you will have peace this is exactly what's happening in our nation prophets are rising pointing people to scriptures biblical principles that are not applicable in this day go back and study it go back and read it i'm telling you this is what the lord said to me we love to bolster our comforts and ease our consciences with wrong biblical principles and an hour of crisis if i could give you one more i've got ten here's here's one more you can think about we confuse our individual standing before god with the corporate status of a nation we confuse our individual standing before god with the corporate status of a nation i believe i'm right with god i want to believe that you're right with god that doesn't mean this nation is right with god what i believe if you've got a prophetic bone in your body it's just not about you if you've got a prophetic bone we heard uh lou engel talking about the power of intercession standing in the gap he said you know you're a true intercessor when you start praying prayers like this god kill me before you kill them god i want such a burden for this nation for my family that i could be in totally right standing with you and know that judgment's coming upon them and i'm literally willing to throw myself right in the middle of your judgments to say mercy god amen amen i believe god has spoken tonight i believe that god has come to prick our hearts i don't know what else to do during this time but to repent god how many times have you tried to give me your word and i ignored it we love to shoot messengers so we don't have to receive the message oh they've done this and they've said that and meanwhile god is speaking right through them to you i believe jealousy it causes us to miss solid truth just because we don't like the one speaking it god i want to say sorry god i want to take ownership tonight i want to stand up as a father a mother a son or daughter in this generation and say lord if you've spoken your word if i have dishonored my father and mother here's what i saw tonight letters i'm going to tell you many of you need to write a letter to your mom or dad i saw phone calls many of you need to call them up and again i want to implore you it's not about they haven't done this and they haven't done that it's about releasing them to the lord and saying i forgive you i'm moving on and lastly i want to pray tonight for fresh fire for our mothers and fathers in this room i believe that there is a company of mothers and fathers in this church that god is calling to sound the alarm and pass the baton to teach the next generation how to rightly divide the word of truth will you bow your heads with me [Music] i need some of you to help me pray come on i know that there are some saints in here who can pray who can break through who can say god here i am send me lord send me in the spirit and power of elijah lord i want to help restore families i want to help reconcile lost sons and daughters lord release the spirit and power of elijah god
