delighted you are here [Applause] and you may be seated 121 times in scripture the command is given to arise it is a command to initiate movement from a static position to a position of action the psalmist requested the help of god in the ninth chapter by declaring arise o lord that the nations may know themselves to be but men indeed the nations have been reminded in the last seven months that we are indeed just men we are frail and we are fragile we are mere flesh we are dry we are bones we are of this earth we are dust but we are also reminded that although we are mere men we serve a mighty god a god that is a champion that is the king of kings and the lord of lords and we hear a sound we hear the sound of wind we hear the sound of resurrection we hear the sound of hope and life and we gather in this conference not merely to congregate and certainly not to capitulate but rather for the purpose of standing up to arise one more time to change our posture and to gain our footing and to once again declare to the wind that there is only one god and his name is jesus only god can blow the winds of his supernatural utterance but we can assemble and we can arise so that we are in position for the activation of divine authority ezekiel saw the valley of dry bones in the 37th chapter of the book that bears his name the lord asked him a rhetorical question about whether these bones could live and ezekiel may have doubted but he recognized that god was not limited by man's decay ezekiel was commanded to prophesy life prophesy life to death prophesy breath to stillness prophesy hope to helplessness in other words prophesy the opposite of what you see declare the opposite of what you feel and i say to this great congregation i believe the lord is calling together an army of apostolics that are going to declare what we may not see and what we may not feel but what we know that's how you arise ezekiel that's how you change your posture and get in position for a miracle i feel death but i declare life i feel hurt but i declare help i feel pain but i declare joy hallelujah you may feel dry but you declare i'm gonna get my miracle i'm gonna stand up one more time and god is gonna be exalted ezekiel did as he was commanded and he heard a noise a shaking and the bones came together the first thing that has to happen is the body has to come together unity is the first step toward resurrection unity is a precursor to demonstration acts chapter 2 and verse 1 and when the day of pentecost was fully come they were all they were all with one accord in one place before anything happened they were unified and when they were all in one accord in one place suddenly there came a sound [Applause] a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting ladies and gentlemen unity has a sound oh and i feel it in this house tonight i said unity has a sound we come together with one purpose and it is to exalt the name of jesus christ it is the unifying of the body that brings the wind of heaven the sinews in the flesh came upon the dry bones this is the restoration this is the dry bones being restored restoration is the process of putting back what was there to begin with if you restore a piece of furniture you bring back its natural color the original wood you take away the layers of time you scrape down all of the bruises and the scars and the marks ladies and gentlemen this end time revival is going to bring back our lost loved ones it's a revival of restoration our sons are coming home they're going to be restored our daughters are coming home they're going to be restored you say that can never happen i say prophesy what you can't see declare your miracle in the valley of dry bone hallelujah oh you want to clap your hands right now and you want to shout at the god with the voice of triumph and even though the bones came together even though the flesh was restored there was still no life there was no breath there was no wind you can do everything in your power to prepare for a move of god you can assemble the bones the sinews and the flesh you can have great music and great facilities you can have talent and lights and videos but none of those things are going to bring life only god can send the wind holy god can blow his favor of supernatural demonstration but i rise tonight to declare we have such a god we've got a god that will blow the winds and make a way where there seems to be no way. [Applause] and the lord said to ezekiel prophesy again prophesy unto the wind prophesy son of man and say to the wind thus saith the lord god come from the four winds o breath and breathe upon these slain here's why that they may live [Applause] [Music] i'm glad you and i serve a god that can give us life and life more abundantly if the first prophecy brought a unity in the flesh the second prophecy brought an unction in the spirit i want to say it again if the first prophecy brought a unity in the flesh the second prophecy brought an unction in the spirit i'm thankful that we exist as apostolics in the atmosphere of the prophetic word but i feel god prophesied one more time to the people of his name that declare the glory and the power of the name of jesus there's another prophecy coming there's a weave that's coming there is life that is going to reappear on the faces of his people the first time ezekiel prophesied the bones came together but the second time life came the wind is a representation of the spirit and it brought life america has been blessed we are the nation on earth more than any other that represents christianity to this world we live in a land where millions profess to be christians but i believe with all of my heart that there is a hunger in this generation that moves beyond the arm of the flesh we reject the mere gathering of bones and call it revival we speak to the wind tonight come from the north come from the south come from the east and the west and blow one more time on this nation blow one more time on this apostolic movement [Applause] jesus answered and said in john chapter 3 that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit is spirit we have been born of the flesh but we hunger for the rebirth of spirit and i feel the wind is beginning to blow the wind is blowing across the world that's tired of business as usual tired of just going through the motions tired of church without god we apostolics know the blessing of a prophetic atmosphere we know the power of the winds that blow at midnight when the fever is spiking and your child is crying we know the joy of the holy wind blowing life into a desperate situation i'm thankful that we know the god that blows the wind of his spirit but i rise tonight to declare that there is a responsibility that goes with the refreshing as the breath of god came into them they stood up on their feet an exceeding great army we rise up we were not given breath to remain idle we stand up we shake off the paralysis of past mistakes we refuse to live in fear we refuse to be still we refuse to listen to the intimidated voice of our adversary goliath froze the entire army of israel a mass paralysis of fear and confusion kept them from rising up the haze that settled on their minds made them put off doing their duty but a young lad named david in the wind of god's anointing said is there not a cause i asked that same rhetorical question tonight ladies and gentlemen is there not a cause david said i'll fight the giant i'll rise up and the bible said that david shouted for the battle [Applause] whoa you say you apostolic how come you're shouting how come you make so much noise because we shout in advance we triumph in advance we do it by faith because we got a god that's already declared it shall be you say i don't feel like a mighty soldier a god declare what you don't feel go ahead and declare i'm an overcomer i'm a believer i shall arrive [Applause] god is raising up an army in this generation an army that says why not if god be for us who can be against us we don't wait until we're under attack we take the battle to the enemy we arise in faith we arise in prayer we arise in worship we arise to serve we arise to declare we arise one more time i'm going to get back up and i'm going to dust myself off and i'm going to keep fighting and i'm gonna keep swinging and god's gonna give me the victory [Applause] david declared at the death of abner abner a great warrior the captain of the guard under king saul he said died abner is a fool dieth thy hands were not bound nor thy feet put in fetters as a man falleth before wicked men so fellas thou i say to this great generation of pentecostals your hands are not bound your feet are not bound nothing can stop you but yourself don't die without a fight don't die without a fight rise up one more time rise up and declare i shall be saved fight the good fight of faith this is your hour this is your moment this is your chance we have come to the kingdom for such a time as this would you stand now would you arise all across this building would you stand on your feet and would you shout for the battle [Music] oh we do we declare a revival in this land we

me that we are standing in a prepared atmosphere not only have people planned and not only has this been a wonderful service up to this point but i believe there's been a lot of prayer and fasting and people that have poured themselves into the very moment in which we stand our speaker this evening is not a stranger in the world of pentecost his voice has challenged our movement countless times not only with words of inspiration but words of direction and i feel tonight will be no different would you put your hands together and may welcome our speaker for the scott graham in jesus name [Music]

you today o god [Music] hallelujah [Applause] this is a dynamic atmosphere that we are in tonight give honor to our host pastor this evening the architect of this meeting pastor meyer is a wonderful man and a friend and i thank god for him and the word we heard tonight in challenging us in this keynote address you've honored our superintendent brother boyd my friend love him much so thankful for his leadership here and to all the sponsors and speakers and those that are involved in this meeting i regret so greatly that my schedule was such that to accommodate this it's just in here and out tomorrow morning i've got to fly home because of a previous commitment and i don't like that i don't like flying in just to hear me i can hear me a lot closer to home and you're going to be richly blessed by others and i apologize my schedule is such that that's a necessity first samuel chapter 10 let me direct your attention to the word of the lord tonight first samuel chapter 10 and verse 17. for samuel 10 and 17 i'm sure they have that available for you on the screens but for both of you that brought your bibles you will got to be careful because there'll be some of my friends over here we've all got phones and stuff right carol i know that i know but i mean this is just like an old friend i just i just can't i can't come to church without this i just can't i just i feel like i'm not dressed or something i just it's my bible you know i tried to explain to our church we did this when i was pastor and i'm a recovering pastor when i was pastor i told our churches we do this for sinners that don't have bibles not for christians that can't find theirs that's a different category entirely first samuel 10 and 17 and samuel called the people together unto the lord to mitzpa and said unto the children of israel thus saith the lord god of israel i brought up israel out of egypt and delivered you out of the hand of the egyptians and out of the hand of all kingdoms and of them that oppressed you we got to be reminded of that sometimes it doesn't hurt to have somebody to remind us he brought us out of slavery he brought us out of bondage to sin because that's what's so staggering about this next verse and you have a rejected your god who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations and you have said unto him nay but set a king over us now therefore present yourselves before the lord by your tribes and by your thousands and when samuel had caused all the tribes of israel to come near the tribe of benjamin was taken when he had caused the tribe of benjamin to come near by their families the family of matri was taken and saul the son of kish was taken and when they sought him he could not be found therefore they inquired of the lord further if the man should yet come thither and the lord answered and said behold he hath hid himself among the stuff i don't even know what that is god thought so little of it he wouldn't even identify it when this man was hiding from his purpose what he was hiding behind just didn't matter just stuff i preached tonight on this subject a sovereign among the stuff a sovereign among the stuff and you can be seated in jesus name let me just get right to it this evening get right to the point god has a purpose for your life not for the person seated besides you not for somebody that you think has it all together not for somebody that you would have deemed more acceptable but god has a plan for your life god has a calling for your life three mans and two nods god has a calling for your life no matter who you are no matter what you've done no matter what your last name is no matter what your last name isn't no matter your background no matter your family no matter your mistakes no matter your regrets no matter what road brought you here tonight you hear me god looks in your tomorrows and says i've got something i want that person to do for me [Applause] he looks at every one of you tonight and says i've got your tomorrow's mapped out you think you've got your life planned but i got news for you i have your life planned i've got a work for you to do i've got a purpose for you in my church i have a calling for you to fulfill and nothing in hell and nothing in this earth can stop god from doing with you what he wants to do except you i have but one purpose tonight i want to destroy that lie out of hell that says that what god wants to do with you can't happen because you fill in the blank preacher if you knew me you would never say that about me you are wrong but if you knew the mistakes i had made i know people that have made bigger ones if you knew the ways that i've rejected god in the past but you're here tonight [Applause] it's time for us to turn loose on some stuff that is under the blood and say i'm not proud of what that was but i thank god that old things are passed away and hey and all things have become new and i stand here tonight clothed in the righteousness of god and if god has a purpose for my life i refuse to let hell beat me up over yesterday's failures until i fail to complete tomorrow's mission i want to call this generation of young adults to rise up with a passion for god that says i may not have it all together just yet and i might have my issues some folks have got so many issues they've got a subscription i may have made some mistakes and i may not have everything that some other people have but i'll tell you what i have i've got a god who loves me i've got blood that's cleansed me i've got a spirit that empowers me and i've got a purpose that drives me and hell you are in trouble cause i'm gonna come out of this cow i may have been dry bones laying in the valley when i got here but the wind is blowing in this house and you got a problem on your hands because i'm gonna leave this place absolutely committed to doing what god wants me to do [Applause] i have a god ordained heaven designed eternity shaking devil frustrating calling of god on my life and fulfilling what god wants from me is my purpose in life so let's let's get to where we are here i see as god made of abraham's descendants the great nation that he had promised it was his intention to rule over them god never intended for israel to have a king save himself it was not to be a monarchy it was a theocracy a nation governed by god he intended to express his will through prophets and priests was only when israel began to look around the nations around them and express the desire to be like them that the development of a king of israel arose the lord spoke through samuel the prophet to explain that he would grant their request for a monarch and then god himself began the process of elevating the one that he selected his name was saul now those of you who are familiar with the bible's account of this man know what a failure he became in time saul allowed the power of his position to go to his head he began to believe that he didn't need any voice of authority in his life when samuel arrived late to a place of sacrifice saul took it upon himself to step out of his place and offer the sacrifice instead when god spoke judgment through samuel against the amalekites and commanded saul utterly to destroy them all no matter what their age or gender saul decided that he didn't really have to obey god or god's man there were some parts of amalek he didn't really think were all that bad anyway so he spared them and for that he dealt with these grievous words of rebuke and judgment in first samuel 15 26 and samuel said unto saul i will not return with thee for thou hast rejected the word of the lord and the lord has rejected thee from being king over israel hard words let me stop just a minute and tell you to state the obvious sir ma'am don't you ever let the enemy of your soul convince you that you don't need the voice of spiritual authority in your life [Applause] amen i'm not above amen and myself if some of you refused to did you hear what i said i know you're a young adult now i know you're paying your own bills i know you're over 21 and way more than a hundred but you still need a pastor and when the moment comes that you think i'm an adult i'll do what i want you're walking down the path that led soul to destruction i preach to you i preach to you you need the voice of a man of god in your life you need the voice of a pastor in your life you better thank god for spiritual authority that loves you enough to invest in you submission to the voice of authority is not a burden it's a blessing it is not intrusive it is protective it doesn't keep you captive it lets you live free saul tragically demonstrates to us the cost associated with being governed by your own desires and guided by your own opinions his last 24 hours witness him visiting a witch to hear from the spirit world since he himself cannot hear from god and won't listen to the man of god and then on the next day he is slain by the philistines beheaded and his lifeless body is nailed to the wall of the pagan city of bethshan and it didn't have to be that way it shouldn't have been that way because this is a point i want to come to here tonight when we preach the many sermons about saul they generally center around his failure they generally have the tone of what i just expressed to you we warn even as i have done tonight of the danger of pride and arrogance and inevitable results of self-rule we caution against the the horrible consequences of rebellion we advise against evaluating right and wrong from a human perspective i get all those lessons but tonight i would rather focus for just a bit on what saul was before those things corrupted his life because even though god did not intend a king for israel when he bowed to their request he did not go seek someone that he he chose because they would fail he didn't go out and pick some some off scouring some worthless nobody he didn't go pick somebody with nothing to bring to the table i mean if they're gonna have a king he loves israel he'd pick somebody that could be a good one he found somebody with potential he found somebody that had his state submitted could have ruled well and long and godly god and his omniscience looked through the land and selected one that had the capacity to rule well he found this young man named saul who was exactly what we would have expected he was the tallest guy in israel in fact the bible says the guy next to him at stature only came up to his shoulders he was a head above everybody else he wasn't some gangly uncoordinated doofus that's a hebrew word if you want to know the bible says he was handsome most handsome man in israel he was tall dark and gorgeous he was gifted he was able he he had it going capacity for greatness and soul god began to coordinate a divine moment a rendezvous with a man of god just ride with me here a minute we'll we'll get back up and gallop here in a sec saul's dead kish had some donkeys that went missing and he sent saul to go look for them when they had traveled far and couldn't find them saul decides to seek the council of the prophet samuel see the thing was the day before god had spoken to samuel said tomorrow about this time you're going to see the one i've chosen and so as saul approached samuel looks at it without saul saying anything he said don't worry the donkeys have been found now that would freak you out a little bit you're walking up the man of god said hey i got never mind they've been found ever had one of those moments your pastor appreciate you saw at one of those moments don't worry about the dunk he's already been found but i got news for you you're here because you think you're looking for donkeys you're not you're here because god is looking for a world changer you think you came here because your friends are out looking for four-legged beasts of burden you're here because god is looking for a two-legged leader you think you came to wins because your friends thought it'd be a good time but you're here because god is looking for somebody [Music] because god is looking for somebody to turn your church upside down you think you're here to find mr right you're here because god thinks you are mr right do you hear me god brought you here this week so that he could have an encounter with you and say i've got something higher for you than just chasing donkeys so you think your mission in life is to regather the wealth of your father i've got something higher for you saul so before he leaves samuel takes out the oil pours it over his head sends him on his way to meet samuel and gilgal where the prophet will offer sacrifices man i'm sure saul's head this is the longest introduction you've ever heard just stay with me i'm sure saul's head had to be spinning his reaction was predictable me no way i mean how could this be he was quick to point out that he was for benjamin smallest tribe and then his family were the smallest in that tribe can i just stop for a minute and tell you that god's purpose for you supersedes the family origin you come from now that may not mean much to some of you who are a fifth generation apostolic but to somebody whose daddy was a crack addict you need to hear what i'm telling you the family you came from doesn't stop god from wanting to do something with your life i don't care what kind of lineage you've got god says i've got a calling on your life you can preach the gospel you could be the greatest soul winner my church has ever seen you could be the worshiper that lights your church on fire i don't care what family you came from you may have a mom and dad who have been apostolic for generations or winners of preachers in your background or you may come from a family that's riddled with addicts and apostates your family may be the backbone of the church or they may be the backsliders out of the church but that does not limit god's capacity for his plans in your life look i bear uncle scotty for a minute i came from the mighty metropolis of graveville illinois a little church of about 30 people my dad wasn't a preacher my dad sold insurance named graham didn't have any significance in the upci i was a nobody from nowhere and i still don't think i'm all that in four bags of chips but i know that god has used me for his glory far belong anything i could have anticipated back in grave hill illinois and if somebody had tried to tell me that i'd have been standing on a platform in palm bay preaching the first night of wins conference when i was in that little hick town i would have been prone to have a soul moment so you don't know what you're talking about my daddy's not a preacher i don't come from a lineage no not me but i thank god that somewhere in an altar i got on my face and i said god i don't know how i don't know where i don't know when and i don't know why but my life is yours and you do with me whatever i'm trying to get somebody tonight to realize god has a calling god has a purpose god has a desire and it doesn't matter where you're from just get to the foot of the cross and let god make you what he wants you to be [Applause] don't let your background stop you saul if god has a crown for your head how dare you tell him it won't fit if god has a calling for you sir how dare you tell him he doesn't know what he's doing i'm just gonna stop a minute and wait out there we need young men accepting young ladies accepting the call to preach i'm not condemning any degrees or pursuits that some of you are not called to preach you're called to be an engineer and pay good tithes into your church and teach bible studies and lead your men's prayer group and lead your ladies soul winning club and so while i will affirm those other things i will not be bashful from saying we need some young men to value a calling more than a career our outgoing general youth president josh carson stood in front of a youth convention i know it's a slightly different demographic but he stood in front of a thousand young people and said how many of you feel like god has a calling on your life to preach and seven people raise their hands out of a thousand i say god help us we gotta quit worshiping the dollar in possessions more than we worship the call of god we've i am not telling you you're called to preach and if there's something in your heart you go talk to your pastor but i'm telling you you got to be open to say god whatever you want from me i don't care if i never make a million dollars i don't care about forbes i don't care about any of that stuff i just want to do what you've called me to do [Applause] there's a witness in the spirit of what i just said some of you had ducked and dodged and avoided what you know god's been talking about you since you were 12 years old and you ran from and tried to hide from it but tonight god has orchestrated a meeting for you to come face to face with his purpose in your life [Applause] we need young adults getting off my notes and that's frightening we need some young adults to realize those old graybeards in your church that are carrying the burden for prayer aren't going to be there forever and where are the young adults that say i'll be there for six o'clock prayer because grandpa's not going to be able to make it forever we're the young adults that'll start taking on pims because the burden to share the gospel doesn't just start when you're 40 years old you got plenty of money for paintball and golf and don't tell me you don't have money to give to missions it's time it's time for you to confront the calling of god in your life you're not a 12 year old kid anymore going to youth convention just shouting with a choir saul you're out chasing donkeys and god interrupts and says i've got something higher for you than the accumulation of possession you go home talk to your pastor about it submit to his leadership for what god has for you you need to have a calling to pray it needs to be a calling to worship it needs to be a calling to teach bible studies you're calling to come and work around the church god has called you if he didn't think you could do it he wouldn't have called you saul i know you may have some insecurities but in spite of your excuses and in spite of opposition god sees in you what you can't see yet okay you need an illustration conveniently i happen to have one back in 2005 i caved on a promise that i had made to myself and i surrendered to a long-standing request of my daughter i bought her a dog for christmas she had been after us forever to get a dog it's what she asked for every christmas every birthday every easter every st patrick's day every president's day every year on national penguin awareness day which is january 20th for you that are interested and despite my firm commitment that i would never have a dog in our house something wrong with that dog in spite of my firm commitment i would never have a dog in my house this happened maybe oh cookie the wonder pooch do you know how incredibly hard it is to scare a burglar with a four pound dog named cookie sicum cookie does not do what sicum thing does okay it was one pound three ounces when we got her half ball tees half toy poodle you could tie her to a stick and dust with her we had to put her down a couple of januarys ago well thank you i didn't really care but oh i mean i cared for my wife and my daughter who needed counseling but i just see you all right now all the dog is going you heartless creature no i i reached a peaceful coexistence with the dog i mean to me it was like a piece of furniture just something i owned and cost me money just [Applause] my if my daughter is watching right now i will not be allowed in the house when i get home and some of you somebody's going to know her and send her a text and now i'm in trouble our next door neighbor had a dog his name was satan i'm serious i'm dead serious half rottweiler half doberman satan uh i don't think i've ever seen a dog that had quite that disposition he had the demeanor of a rabid badger with an impacted wisdom tooth he hated everything and everyone their backyard was next to our driveway and if i was working out in my yard in my garage on my vehicle whatever satan would be plastered against the fence growling now i don't mean that you know i'd rather you didn't mess with me growl i mean that i'm planning to eat you and your children growl lips curled dripping fangs on display ears laid back a knife and a fork in his paws and his whole body just trembling with desire to rip my throat out and consume my internal organs one at a time one day not very long after cookie's arrival she was outside with me in the yard before i could even blink she tore over to the fence and she was so little just went right under it and began to snarl bark and challenge satan my first thought was well there's a few hundred dollars down the drain she's not even a chew toy for that monster he'll bite her too her only hope is to get stuck in his throat and suffocate him from the inside out and then the most amazing thing happened that little ball of fluff about the size of an anemic gerbil began to chase that demoniac canine across the yard satan ran up on their deck crawled under the gas grill and trembled silently while an oversized mole rat [Applause] raged and roared just feet away when i finally coaxed her back over because i wasn't going over there when i finally coaxed her back into our yard i thought to myself cookie one day you're gonna pass by a mirror you're gonna see what you're really like and on that day you're going to remember this day and you're going to think to myself what was i doing was i nuts i was no match for him see i kind of think the same thing is going to happen here tonight in reverse you're going to look into the mirror and you're going to see what you're really like and you're going to say to yourself you mean to tell me i've been scared of him do you mean to tell me i've been letting him intimidate me look what i am i'm more than a conqueror greater is he that's in me that's in the world when you look into the mirror and you see who you are you march home saying i can win a soul i can teach a bible study i can preach in the nursing home i can preach in the prison and all of a sudden you say i don't know what i've been so scared of look who i am look who i am look who i am [Applause] i think we use the verse backwards all the time in james we talk about he that endure the word or hear the word not a doer and it said it's like that guy that beholds his natural face in a glass now walks away and forgets what man or man he is and we always use that to be like man i look in the mirror and go i see the flaw and i see the problem i see the issue and then i walk away and just forget about all the flaws that need to be fixed but maybe if what god was saying was if you'd ever look in this mirror and see who you are don't forget who you are maybe he was saying you got to see a picture like god sees you and then say i can do all things through christ that strengthens me come on somebody i need you to rise up and let hell know he can't hold you down he can't stop god's purpose he can't stop what god wants you to do he can't stop the calling of god look who i am look who i am i'm a blood war child of god look who i am i'm a holy ghost field tongue talking warrior look who i am i'm a great army stop hiding behind your excuses stop hiding behind your mistakes stop hiding behind your family stop hiding behind your yesterdays stop hiding behind your stuff because god i'll be finishing me to be seen god decided to show saul that what he had experienced was real because he knew saul was going to walk away and once he wiped that oil off his head he's going to say man i don't know felt good at the time and i'm so saw samuel told saul here's three things you can expect to happen when you leave this encounter that are going to confirm to you that this was not just a feeling this was a calling he said on your way home saul you're going to see a couple of men who will tell you that your father's not worried about the missing donkeys anymore he's worried about you one way that you'll know that something is at work in you is when what used to matter doesn't matter anymore [Applause] you've been walking all over creation looking for them stupid donkeys that's not going to be very important to you pretty soon pretty soon you're going to care more about people than things and you'll be more concerned about what concerns your father than anything else i want to tell you tonight in the holy ghost that one of the ways you're going to know after we get done in this altar tonight one of the ways you're going to know that something seismic has happened in you one of the ways you're going to know the wind of god has blown into your life and done something eternal in you is you're going to see some of your priorities have changed things that used to matter to you suddenly don't matter so much anymore and things that used to be important are really not that important when you compare them to your calling that used to matter just don't things that used to be important just aren't likes on social media just don't matter compared to heaven liking your prayer and study habits fun with friends won't matter as much as your time with god you'll find your calling is closely connected with what matters to you father what concerns you whatever moves you let it move me whatever touches your heart let it touch my heart whatever drives you let it drive me then samuel said but that's not all you're going to meet three men heading to worship listen to me carefully now you got to follow this he said one of them will have the animals for sacrifice one of them will have three loaves of bread and one of them will have some wine when you leave that conversation the one guy is going to give you two of his loaves of bread you know one of the ways you'll know this calling thing is for real if you start running with different people all of a sudden the people you run with the people that matter to you the people whose opinions really matter to you are the ones that know how to sacrifice i wish i wish i had i wish i had now remember there was animals bread and wine people that know how to sacrifice people that love the word and people that love the moving of the spirit one had animals one had bread one had wine he said you're gonna surround yourself with people that aren't embarrassed to talk about what pastor preached sunday night you're going to start hanging with people that aren't embarrassed to go to the altar and get on their face and weep and cry after a pastor preaches all of a sudden the girl that looks pretty to you is the one that gets up in the altar with her eyes read from tears because she knows how to sacrifice the guy you're going to think is attractive is the one that gets out and shouts till his tie is crooked because he loves the wine but watch but he said but of the three the one that'll mean the most to you is the one that loves the word you'll take some bread with you i know shouting in the spirit is more fun and i know the good worship set with the praise team is more entertaining but the way that you'll know there's a calling in your life is your hunger for the bread get in this book love this book consume this book read this book live this book [Applause] and finally he said you're going to meet a group of prophets coming down the mountain now of insurance they'll be playing songs and they'll begin to prophesy and when they do something's going to come on you saul and you'll start prophesying with them i know you've never done that before saul but see part of pursuing a calling is allowing god to take you to new places now please note you hear me he only went there with his pastor's blessing don't you go running out here saying brother graham said i should his pastor said when you meet up with them you're going to start doing this saul's journey to a crown was guided by his pastor and yours will be too but at samuel's direction saul was willing to try something new don't be scared into immobility when god starts ordering your steps into ministry whatever that ministry is don't think ministry just in terms of preaching whatever that is god calls you to start teaching the junior sunday school class don't be scared to try something new well i've never done that before well thank you sherlock every person who's ever done anything for god had to say that at some point in time go ahead and teach a whole bible study i've never taught one before good this will be your first saul did not meet up with those prophets he still had oil dripping down off his head he came from winds conference he could still feel what he felt there but when he met up with those prophets and the power of god started to nudge him to do something new he didn't square up and say no no no that's not for me i'll find somebody else he began to do what god pushed him to do one of them one of the ways you're going to know that god is beating you in this place and has a divine purpose for your tomorrows is you're going to be given the opportunity listen you're going to be given the opportunity and the impetus to do something new you mean i'm going to get the soul with the choir no saul didn't prophesy in front of the nation he prophesied on the backside of a mountain just a little cluster folk if you're worried about being seen you haven't spent enough time in the altar maybe i'll get to preach wins next year probably not if you don't teach a bible study between now and then but when but when you leave this divine encounter and the smell of the oil is still dripping down off your soul and god brings you to a place and your pastor says you know what i need i need somebody to start a hyphen group i need somebody to start a young adult's ministry i need somebody to come alongside our prayer coordinator you know he's 93 years old somebody's got to take up this mantle and start leading i want you to square your shoulder and say god i don't know how to do it but if this is of you i'll i'll follow you i'll do what you say i'll go where you call there's a calling on my life i preach to you that a new day is coming in your life a new chapter a new focus a new purpose and to meet that new day look at what god did for saul when he left that meeting stand i'm almost done stand look at what god did for saul when he left winds samuel 10 and 9. and it was so that when he had turned his back to go from samuel god gave him another heart and all those signs came to pass that day here's what i believe in the holy ghost oh listen it would have been easy to preach to you about you being cookie and chasing satan under his gas grill and we could have just shouted and rejoiced but what i really feel in the spirit tonight something sovereign and surgical has to happen god is going to give somebody a new heart he told saul i'll tell you how i'm going to get ready for my purpose in your life i'm going to give you another heart i feel in the spirit that tonight something sovereign is going to happen he's going to see the willing and do something deep inside of you not just an emotional change a heart change not just a behavioral change a heart change i'm wondering if there's anybody desperate for god to touch your heart [Applause] take over jesus holy ghost just take over right now in holy ghost take over right now holy ghost take over [Applause] so you're hiding behind the stuff you're hiding by the stuff that god sees you and he believes in you and he wants to empower you so would you leave the donkey pursuit behind and maybe come to an altar tonight is it possible your priorities could be shifted around and you let god do whatever he wants to do with you [Music] don't stop praying i'm just asking for saul to come and get on your knees in front of us in front of samuel and say god i'm desperate i am desperate i've lived my life for me for too long i've made my degree and my career the priority in my life for too long i've made my ambitions more important than your calling i've sought my own way far too long god god put another heart in me give me a hunger after the word oh jesus call me to something new and i'll do it i'm done but i need your voice to be about seven times that loud in this house i call on you now to lift your voice and cry aloud to god i call on you to lift your voice and cry aloud to god and let him give you another heart there's a sovereign among the stuff there's a king in the midst of chaos there's a royalty in the midst of all your junk hey saul god sees you he knows you he chose you there's a sovereign in the stars if you are ready for an apostolic shift of your priorities if you've been carnal as you come in here disconnected materialistic focused on the wrong thing you have clearly heard the word from god tonight it is time right now because the holy ghost will now shift everything out of the way for the calling of god in your life to manifest would you raise your hands right now and would you let god go to work on your mind and your spirit and would you drop every agenda and would you drop every motive and would you drop every plan and would you drop everything that's in the way of jesus manifesting his will in your life would you lift up your voice and would you cry unto god like you never had for the lord to make his perfect plan manifest in your life right now [Music] in fact no music every hand raised every mouth open shift my priorities shift the people i'm around shift everything that's disconnecting me from your sovereign will [Applause] let there be a cry on the opening night of winds let there be a shifting so i can do what i'm called to do [Music] you don't need the purse you don't need the boat you don't need the car you need to do what the lord's called you to do [Applause] come on put the phone down and put your life on the altar the apostles died for this [Applause] refocus your spirit refocus your thinking let the lord in right now on the things that belong on the altar put something on the altar that needs

frustrated because you're chasing the wrong thing [Applause] come on find the word find the anointing find the spirit you're a king you're anointed by god you're not average and you're not ordinary somebody pray open my eyes that i might see what do i need to focus on what do i need to pay attention to there it is there's a cry let the broken cry you know the cry that you have when no one's around you know the prayer in the closet that nobody hears you know when you let loose and you don't care that kind of prayer that's where everything changes that's where everything moves that's where everything breaks that's where the will of god is manifested [Applause] there it is let there be travail [Applause] let there be travail let there be a cry let there be a hunger [Applause] you're about to read your bible like you usually scroll through your phone there's a hunger coming in you for the word of god there's a hunger coming in you for a relationship with god like you've never had

underneath the covering of your pastor again and watch god bless you [Music] hallelujah but what things were gained to me those i counted loss for christ yea doubtless i count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of christ jesus my lord for whom i have suffered the loss of all things than to count them but dung that i may win christ and be found in him not having mine own righteousness which is of the law but that which is through the faith of christ the righteousness which is of the god of faith that i may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings being made conformable unto his [Applause] let it die let it die [Applause] let it die it's not worth it it's not worth going to hell over let it die it's not worth being lost over

the prophetic will of god in your life miracle is in your mouth the miracle is in your mouth you're one statement away from a change you're one commitment away from the change just speak what you're
