(WORSHIP MUSIC)
LISTEN, I JUST HEARD THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY SOMETHING TO ME. AND
I NEED YOU THAT ARE AT HOME TO PRAY. PRAY RIGHT NOW. THE SPIRIT
OF GOD SAYS, LISTEN, HE SAID, "I NEED MY PEOPLE TO PRAY NOW
CONCERNING IRAN. FOR THE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL SPEAK NOW, BUT THEN
HE WANTS US TO PRAY IN WHAT HE REVEALS. FOR I HAVE DECLARED IN
MY WORD, AND IT HAS BEEN SAID OF ME, THAT I SHALL ARISE WITH
HEALING IN MY WINGS. AND SO I SPEAK AT THIS TIME THAT I AM
ARISING. AND I AM ARISING TO BRING HEALING NOT ONLY OVER YOU,
UNITED STATES, FOR IT SHALL BE MARKED AS YOU GATHER TO PRAY, AS
YOU GATHER TO REDEDICATE AND EVEN YOUR LEADER WITH THE PEOPLE
OF THIS LAND. IT SHALL RELEASE A HEALING THAT I SHALL RIDE IN.
AND I SHALL USHER IN NOT JUST A NATURAL HEALING, BUT I WILL
BEGIN AT THIS TIME TO BEGIN TO DEAL WITH THE DIVISIVE NATURE OF
THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO PUSH ME OUT OF YOUR COUNTRY AND IS
TRYING TO HINDER THE THINGS THAT I HAVE DECLARED. BUT LISTEN TO
ME NOW, FOR YOU WILL HEAR IN THE DAYS TO COME CONCERNING IRAN,
THAT THE EAGLE HAS LANDED UPON IRAN. I SPEAK THIS AT THIS TIME,
SAYS THE SPIRIT OF GOD, BECAUSE DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS THE
MIGHT, THE MILITARY, THE MANEUVERS, AND THE STRATEGIES OF
YOUR ARMORY. FOR YOU WILL SEE THAT THE EAGLE SHALL ARISE. I
SPEAK OF THIS NATION, CONCERNING EVEN IRAN. DO NOT BE ALARMED, AS
THINGS WILL FILL THE SKY, AND THERE WILL BE STRIKE, STRIKE,
STRIKE, AND THERE WILL BE, LISTEN TO ME NOW, SAYS THE LORD,
I NEED YOU TO PRAY. FOR THE EAGLE SHALL LAND, AND I SHALL
RIDE UPON THE EXPRESSION OF THIS NATION CONCERNING IRAN. AND I
WILL PLACE MY FEET, BUT I WILL USE THE EAGLE TO DIG ITS CLAW
AND REMOVE THE ANCIENT REGIME THAT HAS BEEN IN IRAN. WHY IS
THIS AS THE SPIRIT OF GOD? BECAUSE I HAVE COME AT THIS TIME
TO LISTEN TO THE CRY OF THE OPPRESSED, THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN
PERSECUTED, MY PEOPLE. AND I HAVE COME NOW, SAYS THE LORD, TO
RESPOND. THE EAGLE SHALL LAND AND HIS CLAWS, THE CLAWS OF THIS
NATION, SHALL LOOSE YOU, IRAN, FROM THE LION AND HIS SWORD OF
IRAN, SAYS THE GOD. COME ON, LIFT UP YOUR VOICE AND BEGIN TO
PRAY NOW. PRAY FOR IRAN. YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR IT IN THE NEXT
COMING. I'M SERIOUS. SOMETHING, A MANEUVER IS BEING PLANNED. A
RESPONSE IS BEING PLANNED AND IT NEEDS TO BE CARRIED OUT FOR THE
SAKE OF THE PEOPLE. COME ON. PRAISE.
(PRAYING IN TONGUES)
WE PRAY, WE PRAY, WE PRAY FOR IRAN. WE PRAY FOR THE OPERATION
AND THE MANEUVERING OF YOUR SPIRIT OVER THIS LAND TO LIFT
THE TYRANNY OFF OF IRAN AND TO BRING FREEDOM, LIBERTY, AND A
RESTRAINT AGAINST BARBARIC ACTS AGAINST THE INNOCENT.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
COME ON, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON. DEEP, DEEP, DEEP, DEEP,
DEEP. LET ME HEAR THE SOUND OF YOUR INTERCESSION.
(PRAYING IN TONGUES)
WE SPEAK FREEDOM, A LIFTING, A LIFTING OF
THE TYRANNY, THE OPPRESSION.

COME ON ON THE DRUMS. COME ON, HIT IT, HIT IT, HIT IT, HIT IT,
HIT IT. COME ON ON THE BASS. COME ON, THE BANDS OF WICKEDNESS
ARE BEING BROKEN. THE SUPPRESSION IS BEING LIFTED AS
THE EAGLE SHALL LAND. AND THE CLAWS OF THE LAND OF THE EAGLE
SHALL LIFT THE TYRANNY OFF OF YOU, IRAN.
(WORSHIP MUSIC)
(PRAYING IN TONGUES)
THANK YOU GOD. I WANT YOU, SHH, TO COUNT TO 3 . I WANT YOU TO
SHOUT THE NAME OF YESHUA. BE STILL. 1, 2 , 3 . YESHUA! OVER
IRAN, OVER THE PEOPLE OF YESHUA! BE FREE! BE FREE! COME ON,
SHOUT! HALLELUJAH! I WANT YOU TO SAY, "LORD, WE COME INTO
AGREEMENT, NOT OF OUR MIGHT, NOT OF OUR POWER, BUT BY YOUR
SPIRIT, RIGHT INTO IRAN, AND LIFT THE TYRANNY OFF OF THE
PEOPLE, OFF OF THE NATION, AND RESET IRAN TO A PLACE OF
FREEDOM, AND THE CHRIST SHALL ARISE IN THE MIDDLE OF IRAN, AND
THE PEOPLE SHALL SAY, YESHUA, YESHUA, YESHUA IS LORD. COME ON,
GIVE HIM ONE MORE SHOUT OF PRAISE. HALLELUJAH! AMEN. DON'T
YOU LIKE WHEN GOD GIVES YOU AN ASSIGNMENT AND THEN THE BEAUTY
OF IT IS YOU GET TO WATCH IT HAPPEN? AND WHEN IT DOES, LOOK
TO NO MAN. YOU HONOR GOD, AMEN. WELL, WHY DON'T YOU DO THIS? WHY
DON'T YOU GREET SOMEBODY AROUND YOU AND SAY THIS, I BET I KNOW,
I BET I KNOW WHEN ROBERT SLIARDON'S BIRTHDAY IS. ALL
RIGHT, SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS. IT'S NOT HARD. SEE IF YOU CAN
GUESS. ALL RIGHT, SEE ONLINE, WRITE ONLINE IF YOU
KNOW ONLINE WHEN PASTOR ROBERT SLIARDON'S BIRTHDAY
IS. WRITE IT ONLINE AND GREET ONE ANOTHER.
(MUSIC)
AMEN. WOO! WOW, THAT WAS LIKE A FIRE HOSE. I LIKE THAT. I DON'T
KNOW. YOU KNOW, ROBERT SLIARDON, YOU IMPARTED THAT KIND OF CRAZY
PRAYING IN US MANY YEARS AGO. SO, AND WE'VE NEVER STOPPED. I
MEAN, 40 YEARS LATER, HERE WE GO. SO, WELL, ANYWAY, WE'RE
VERY, VERY EXCITED AND WE WANNA GET ROBERT'S UP VERY SOON, BUT
WE'RE GONNA RECEIVE OUR REGULAR WEDNESDAY NIGHT OFFERING AND SO
YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT TO DO. I DON'T HAVE TO PREACH A WORD TO
YOU, DO I? YOU KNOW WHAT TO, YOU KNOW WHAT, RIGHT? SO WHY DON'T
WE PUT THE GIVING INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN. WE ARE GONNA
RECEIVE AN OFFERING FOR BROTHER ROBERT LIARDON AT THE END OF THE
SERVICE. SO ALL OF YOU THAT ARE JOINING ONLINE, REMEMBER THAT
AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO SOW INTO HIS IMPACTFUL MINISTRY. AND I'M
VERY EXCITED BECAUSE HE HAS SOME NEW MATERIAL OUT AND THOSE OF
YOU THAT READ GOD'S GENERALS, HE HAS ADDED TO GOD'S GENERALS. SO
THERE'S SOME INFO OUT THERE. BUT THERE'S THE GIVING INFORMATION,
TEXT TO GIVE, MOBILE APP, WEBSITE, ENVELOPE, ALL THE
DIFFERENT WAYS TO GIVE. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOU FOR BEING SO
FAITHFUL TO SOW INTO KINGDOM PURPOSES. YOU KNOW, I'LL SAY
THIS WHILE YOU'RE PREPARING IS I BELIEVE WITH ALL MY HEART THAT
THE CHURCH NEEDS TO BE UNDERGIRDED, NOT JUST THIS
CHURCH, BUT THE CHURCH GLOBALLY, NEEDS TO BE UNDERGIRDED AND
VALUED LIKE NEVER BEFORE. AND ONE OF THE WAYS WE DO THAT IS
THROUGH OUR GIVING. AND I FEEL LIKE IF CHURCHES WERE
WELL-FUNDED, RIGHT, THE LIBERAL LUNATICS MIGHT NOT STAND A
CHANCE. WE NEED TO STAND, PART OF THE WAY WE TAKE A STAND IS WE
DO IT THROUGH OUR GIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ATTEND A
CHURCH THAT'S NOT AFRAID TO GET INTO THE FRAY. AND I JUST HAVE
AN ANNOUNCEMENT. WE'RE NOT AFRAID AT LORD OF HOSTS TO JUMP
IN AND MAKE OUR SEAT, NOT BE INVITED NECESSARILY, BUT MAKE A
SEAT AT THE TABLE OF THE CULTURAL CONVERSATION. AND SO
WHEN YOU SOW INTO THE MINISTRY, YOU ARE HELPING FURTHER KINGDOM
ADVANCEMENT ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND WE ARE VALUING THE CHURCH.
WE WERE JUST TALKING IN THE BACK ABOUT CHURCHES GOING AWAY FROM
MIDWEEK SERVICES, SUNDAY NIGHT KIND OF WENT OUT, A LOT OF
CHURCHES QUIT THAT, THAT'S KIND OF OUT OF FASHION. AND THEN
BROTHER SLIARDON WAS TELLING ME IN THE BACK, THERE ARE CERTAIN
DENOMINATIONS NOW THAT ARE GOING TO A TWICE A MONTH SUNDAY. LIKE
THEY'RE NOT EVEN DOING SUNDAYS CONSISTENTLY. NOW THAT IS, HOW
MANY OF YOU WOULD SAY THAT IS NOT VALUING THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
AND SO WE NEED TO VALUE IT BY SOWING INTO IT, BEING DILIGENT
TO ATTEND AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN DO, AND JUST BE PART OF WHAT
GOD'S DOING. SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE ON A MIDWEEK SERVICE,
AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF US THAT HAVE JOINED, ALL OF YOU, I
SHOULD SAY, HAVE JOINED ONLINE. SO WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR GIVING
READY, LET'S STAND UP, HOLD YOUR OFFERING, EVERYBODY STAND. TAKE
YOUR PHONE, YOUR DEVICE, YOUR ENVELOPE, HOLD IT UP. YOU KNOW,
COME ON, YOU KNOW HOW WE DO IT. WE HOLD IT UP LIKE A SWORD IN
THE FACE OF THE DEVIL. WHAT'S OUR SCRIPTURE FOR THE YEAR?
PROVERBS 11:8, YOU'RE COMING OUT OF TROUBLE, RIGHT? SO
THINK ABOUT THAT. WHEN YOU HOLD THAT UP, YOU ARE COMING OUT OF A
PLACE. IF YOU'VE BEEN IN A PLACE OF HARDSHIP, YOU JUST REMEMBER,
NO, YOU'RE COMING OUT OF IT. AND THE DEVIL'S GONNA GET WHAT'S DUE
HIM, BUT YOU'RE GONNA COME OUT TO A PLACE OF DELIVERANCE. SO,
FATHER, WE JUST THANK YOU FOR EVERY GIVER THAT'S IN THE ROOM
TONIGHT AND THOSE THAT ARE JOINING ON THE INTERNET, WE
THANK YOU. FATHER, THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS GOING TO
EXPERIENCE THE RESULTS OF THEIR GIVING. WE THANK YOU, FATHER.
YOU SAID, THIS IS NOT OUR WORDS, BUT YOU SAID YOU WOULD OPEN THE
WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND THAT YOU WOULD REBUKE THE DEVOURER FOR
OUR SAKE. FATHER, THAT'S A PRETTY POWERFUL SCRIPTURE, BUT
WE BELIEVE IT, WE BELIEVE IT, WE HAVE FAITH IN IT. SO AS WE PUT
OUR SEEDS UP IN THE AIR, WE PUT OUR TIES UP, WE HOLD THEM UP, WE
THANK YOU. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT'S COMING TO PASS IN OUR
LIFE IN MULTIPLE WAYS, AND WE JUST WANNA TELL YOU FROM THE
BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS, THANK YOU FOR IT, FATHER, IN JESUS' MIGHTY
NAME. COME ON, GIVE GOD A BIG SHOUT OF AMEN AS THE USHERS
BEGIN TO SERVE YOU. AND LET'S WELCOME PASTOR HANK. AMEN, THANK
YOU. SO PASTOR BRENDA MENTIONED THAT IT'S ROBERT'S, IT'S HIS
FAULT THAT WE'RE LIKE THIS. SO ANYWAY, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BE
SEATED AS THE USHERS SERVE YOU. HOW MANY OF YOU FIGURED OUT WHEN
PASTOR ROBERT'S BIRTHDAY IS? IT'S SATURDAY, IT'S VALENTINE'S
DAY. SO I HOPE HE REMEMBERED WHEN HIS BIRTHDAY IS. SO, BUT
I'M SO EXCITED THAT YOU JOINED US TONIGHT. I'M GONNA INTRODUCE
OUR GUEST. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE, PASTOR ROBERTS, DO YOU REMEMBER
WHEN YOUR BIRTHDAY IS? IT IS SATURDAY, VALENTINE'S DAY. I
MEAN, TALK ABOUT A KISS FROM GOD. I MEAN, COME ON, YOU KNOW,
SO. ANYWAY, BUT HEY, THIS YEAR MY BIRTHDAY'S ON MOTHER'S DAY.
SO THERE YOU GO. I'M GONNA HAVE TO TELL THAT TO MY MOM. I WAS
HER GIFT. THERE YOU GO, OKAY. I'LL BE THE BIG 60.
ROBERTS, HAVE YOU HIT 60? HE'LL BE 60 SATURDAY. ALL RIGHT, THERE
YOU GO. BUT I WANNA JUST HONOR THIS MAN OF GOD. PEOPLE AROUND
THE NATION AND THE WORLD HAVE OFTEN ASKED ME THROUGH THE
YEARS, PASTOR HANK, WHERE DO YOU FEEL LIKE THE DEFINING MOMENT IN
YOUR LIFE WAS IN THE AREA OF THE OFFICE THAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU
TO, THE EXPRESSION, THE ANOINTING? AND I ALWAYS SAY IT
WAS ROBERTS SLIARDON. AND SOMETHING HAPPENED TO US IN
1989. BRENDA AND I HAVE BEEN ALMOST MARRIED, AND THOSE OF YOU
THAT ARE WATCHING, FOR 37 YEARS IN JULY. AND SO IT WAS RIGHT IN
'89 THAT WE WENT TO A MEETING IN SIOUX CITY, IOWA. ROBERTS DIDN'T
KNOW WHO WE WERE, CALLED US OUT, AND GOT INTO SOME VERY HEAVY
TRAVAIL OF PRAYER. AND I STILL HAVE THE TAPE. AND HE PRAYED AND
BEGAN TO BIRTH OVER PASTOR BRENDA AND I AND I WAS THERE TO
GUIDE THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY MANTLE. HE SAID THERE'D BE
CHANGES IN THE OPERATION OF THE ANOINTING, THE GRACE, THE WAY IT
OPERATED. AND FOR A LONG TIME, I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. IT TOOK
ME A WHILE. SO, IT'S ONE THING TO PROCESS THAT, ROBERTS, BUT
ANOTHER THING, I SHOULD HAVE CALLED YOU AND SAID, "NOW, HOW
DO I WALK THIS OUT?" BUT ANYWAY, BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER TIME I
WANNA SAY THIS. I REMEMBER ALEXANDRIA, MINNESOTA. WE WERE
THERE AND THERE WAS A TORNADO. YOU REMEMBER THAT? THAT WAS
CRAZY. AND THAT'S WHEN HE LAID HANDS ON ME. AND BOB, YOU WERE
THERE. AND BOB AND I GO WAY BACK AND WE CAME BACK PRAYING IN
TONGUES. WE HAD NEVER PRAYED IN TONGUES THAT WILD IN OUR WHOLE
TIME. AND WE PRACTICED THE WHOLE WAY. WE HAD LIKE 4 STRONG WORDS,
ROBERTS. IT WAS LIKE, YOU REMEMBER THAT? I DON'T REMEMBER
WHAT IT WAS. I THINK WE TOOK A COUPLE OF YOUR WORDS AND THEN
PRACTICED, YOU KNOW. AND THEN, BUT THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER THING
AND I'LL MAKE IT QUICK. WE DROVE, HOW MANY HAVE BEEN TO
TULSA? FROM OMAHA, IT'S 6 AND A HALF TO 7 HOURS. IF BRENDA'S
DRIVING, IT'S LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, 2 DAYS. BUT I'M JUST
TEASING, BUT ANYWAY. SO WE GOT CAUGHT IN A SNOWSTORM. PASTOR
CHRISTY WAS WITH US. MATTHEW WAS ONE YEARS OF AGE AND WE WERE SO
HUNGRY. AND WE WENT DOWN TO A CONFERENCE THAT HE WAS AT IN
TULSA AND GOT CAUGHT IN A SNOWSTORM. WE JUST KEPT DRIVING
WITH A ONE-YEAR-OLD. PASTOR CHRISTY, YOU REMEMBER WHERE
SHE'S AT, WE PRAYED IN THOSE TONGUES THAT WE WERE TAUGHT ON
HOW TO PRAY STRONG AND WE GOT THERE. THE NEXT DAY, ROBERTS
CALLED BRENDA AND I OUT. AGAIN, HE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW US AND HE
SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THIS, ROBERTS, YOU
SAID, "THIS YOUNG COUPLE HERE, GOD SAYS, "YOUR MINISTRY, YOU'RE
GONNA LINK ARMS "WITH THE GENERALS OF THE EARTH "AND
YOU'RE GONNA RUN HAND IN HAND, ARM IN ARM "AS PART OF THE MOVE
OF GOD IN THIS TIME." HE DIDN'T KNOW US, NOTHING WAS WORKING OUT
AT THE TIME. BUT THEN HE CALLED FOR A PRAYER LINE. WE CAME UP AT
THAT AND WE WERE HOLDING MATTHEW BECAUSE HE WAS ONE YEARS OLD.
AND HE SAYS, "HERE, GIVE ME YOUR SON." AND HE TAKES MATTHEW AND
HE GOES DOWN THE PRAYER LINE AND MATTHEW STARTED LAYING HANDS ON
PEOPLE. IT WAS THE GREATEST THING. SO ROBERTS, THANK YOU FOR
WHO YOU ARE. THANK YOU FOR OBEYING GOD IN OUR LIFE. AND
IT'S WITH THAT I WANT YOU TO STAND AND HONOR AND WELCOME
GOD'S SERVANT, ROBERTS SLIARDON, WHO I LOVE AND I HONOR AND I
THANK GOD FOR YOU. WE ON? PRAISE THE LORD. AM
I ON? ONE, 2 . CAN YOU HEAR ME? THERE, GOOD. HEY,
HEY, I LIKED YOUR BUILDING. WHEN I WAS HERE THE
LAST TIME, YOU WERE STILL POUNDING STUFF. SO
CONGRATULATIONS ON AN AMAZING LOOKING BUILDING. SO GREAT. AND
IT'S IN OMAHA. IN OMAHA. AMEN. YOU MAY BE SEATED. GO AHEAD AND
BE SEATED IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK WITH YOU AND IT'S ALWAYS GREAT
TO COME AND BE WITH YOUR PASTORS AND THE FAMILY AND I
WATCH YOU GUYS ON MY PHONE A LOT AS I TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD
SO I DO KEEP UP A LITTLE BIT WITH YOU AND IT'S ALWAYS
EXCITING TO BE HERE AND IT'S AN HONOR TO HEAR THOSE STORIES
SO SOMETIMES YOU DO THINGS BY THE SPIRIT AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA
THE FUTURE OUTCOME, YOU JUST STEP INTO THE PRESENT
COMMAND AND YOU DO IT WITH YOUR FULL FORCE OF
YOUR FAITH AND HEART AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE IT ENDS UP.
AND SO I'M SO GLAD I WAS A PART OF THE EARLY HOURS OF THEIR
LIFE AND THE MINISTRY AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE DOING A LOT
MORE TOGETHER IN THE LATTER DAYS. I THINK WE'RE BOTH LEAVING
THE 50S CLUB. I JUST GOT USED TO BEING 50 AND I'M BEING KICKED
OUT. AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THE WORD 60. IT SEEMS LIKE
A WORD THAT SHOULD NOT BE ATTACHING ITSELF TO ME IN ANY
WAY. AND IT GOES, I'VE BEEN PREACHING OVER 40 YEARS. I
PREACHED MY FIRST SERMON WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD. AND I PLANNED
A CAREER PREACHERS RETIRE, CALL ONES RE-ADMINISTRATE. WRITE THAT
DOWN. SO YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT. SO YOU THAT ARE YOUNG AND YOU
THAT ARE CERTAIN AGES, CAREER PREACHERS, AND THEY DO EXIST,
BUT THEY DO, THEY'VE CHOSEN AS A CAREER, AND THEY RETIRE. GOD
BLESS THEM. BUT CALLED PEOPLE, THEY RE-ADMINISTRATE AND THEY GO
ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THEIR DAYS. WHEN THEIR DAYS ARE FULL,
THEY TAKE OFF. AND YOU DON'T GET FULL DAYS BY RESTING FOR 20
YEARS. YOU GET FULL DAYS BY WORKING THE WHOLE TIME YOU'RE
HERE WITH A FEW HOURS OFF HERE AND THERE, AMEN? I'VE BEEN TO
130 COUNTRIES SO FAR. THAT'S OVER HALF THE WORLD I'VE
PREACHED IN MYSELF. AND I JUST DECIDED I MIGHT AS WELL GO SEE
THE REST OF IT AND GET ALL OF THEM DONE BEFORE I LEAVE. SO, AS
I GO INTO MY 60S, I'M PLANNING FOR IT TO BE MY WILDEST AND
FASTEST AND GREATEST DECADE I'VE EVER HAD AND GO TO A LOT OF NEW
NATIONS. I FLEW 195,000 AIR MILES LAST YEAR. AND SO I DID
ABOUT 10 FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND 16 STATES. YOU SAY, “DO YOU
GET TIRED?” IF I THINK ABOUT IT I GET TIRED IF I JUST DO IT I’M
OKAY. I DON’T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS BUT IT WORKS FOR ME. BUT
WHEN I LOOK AT MY SCHEDULE TOO DEEPLY I’M LIKE “OH MY”. I JUST
GLANCE AT IT, PRAISE THE LORD AND KEEP GOING, AMEN? OPEN YOUR
BIBLES IF YOU HAVE THEM WE ARE GOING TO START IN JUST A MOMENT
IN THE BOOK OF ACTS THE 3RD CHAPTER. A MESSAGE IVE BEEN
CARRYING FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT OF TIME I WILL START WITH AND
SEE WHERE WE END UP I'VE WRITTEN 101 BOOKS SO FAR. HAVE YOU READ
ALL OF THEM YET? WELL, ONE DAY I'M GONNA MEET A GUY OR A LADY
THAT'S READ ALL OF THEM. AND THIS IS MY 7TH VOLUME IN THE
GOD'S GENERAL SERIES. THERE'S GONNA BE 12 VOLUMES WHEN I'M
DONE. THIS ONE IS CALLED "MOVEMENTS OF THE SPIRIT." WE
TALK ABOUT GORDON AND FREDA LINDSAY, THAT LED THE VOICE OF
HEALING AND REVIVAL AND BUILT CHRIST FOR THE NATIONS. WE TALK
ABOUT DEMAS SHEKARION, THE FULL GOSPEL BUSINESSMAN AND HIS WIFE,
ROSE. YOU KNOW, HE IS DESCENDANT OF THOSE CRAZY KARDASHIANS. DO
YOU ALL KNOW THAT? THEY HAVE PENTECOSTAL GOOD ROOTS AND THEY
NEED TO RETAP INTO. BUT THEY ALL CAME FROM ARMENIA. GOD GAVE
DEMAS' GRANDFATHER, I BELIEVE IT WAS, A PROPHETIC WORD BACK IN
THE LATE 1800S. TO LEAVE ARMENIA, THERE WAS COMING A
GREAT PROBLEM BEFORE THE GREAT GENOCIDE. AND THEY CAME TO
CALIFORNIA. AND ONE DAY THEY WERE WALKING DOWN THE STREETS OF
LA AND THEY HEARD PEOPLE PRAYING LIKE THEY DID IN ARMENIA. AND IT
WAS AZUSA STREET. AND THEY WALKED INSIDE OF AZUSA STREET.
HEY, WE DO THIS. AND THEY HAD THE HOLY SPIRIT LIKE THAT OVER
IN ARMENIA. THEY CAME HERE. AND THAT'S HOW THE SHECHARIAN FAMILY
CAME INTO THE FAITH OF THE STATES. AND WE TELL YOU HIS
STORY. HE WAS A DAIRYMAN. HE HAD DAIRY COWS. HIM AND HIS WIFE
WOULD GO OUT TO BUY COWS. I GUESS YOU GO AND LOOK AT A HERD
OR SOMETHING. AND THEY'D PRAY IN TONGUES UNTIL A COW GLOWED AT
THEM. AND THE COW THAT GLOWED IS THE ONE THEY BOUGHT. AND THEY
BUILT THIS SHECHARIAN HERD THAT EVEN TODAY IN CALIFORNIA, THE
SHECHARIAN COWS MAKE BETTER QUALITY AND BETTER QUANTITY OF
MILK THAN ANY OTHER HERD IN CALIFORNIA TO THIS DAY. AND IT'S
CALLED, "THEY PRAYED TO THE HOLY GHOST "AND LOOKED FOR GLOWING
COWS." AND THAT'S HOW YOU GET THOSE KIND OF THINGS. SO ISN'T
IT GREAT THAT WE HAVE ALL THESE GREAT STORIES? AND CALVIN
KUHLMAN AND DEMAS SHEKARIAN LED REALLY THE CHARISMATIC RENEWAL,
THE CHARISMATIC REVIVAL. AND HE WAS CALLED TO HELP BUSINESSMEN
AND WOMEN FIND JESUS. HE WANTED TO RENT CHURCHES' FELLOWSHIP
HALLS, BUT THE PASTORS WOULDN'T RENT IT TO HIM. SO HE'D GO INTO
RESTAURANTS AND HOTEL BALLROOMS, AND IT GREW SO BIG THAT NO
FELLOWSHIP HALL WAS BIG ENOUGH. HE'D HAVE SOMETIMES 3,000 OR
4,000 AT A LUNCHEON OR AT A DINNER AND HAVE REAL NICE FOOD
IN A REAL NICE PLACE AND HAVE A SPEAKER THAT WAS A BUSINESSMAN
OR WOMAN THAT HAD GOTTEN SAVED OR HEALED OR WHATEVER AND TELL
THE STORY AND THEN GET TONS OF THEM SAVED AND HEALED THAT WAY.
AND IT BECAME A GREAT MOVE OF THE CHARISMATICS. YOU'LL LEARN
ABOUT HIM. WE TALK ABOUT MR. PENTECOST. YOU EVER HEARD OF
DAVID DU PLESSIS? OH, DAVID DU PLESSIS, MR. PENTECOST. I'LL
TELL YOU THIS AND I'LL PREACH LATER. HE'S A SOUTH AFRICAN AND
HE HELPED RUN THIS, ARE YOU A SOUTH AFRICAN? ONE HOLY SOUTH
AFRICAN OUT THERE, GOD BLESS YOU. ALL RIGHT, HE WAS A SOUTH
AFRICAN AND IN THE EARLY 30S, HE WAS HELPING THE ASSEMBLIES OF
GOD FORM IN SOUTH AFRICA AND WAS ONE OF THEIR LEADERS. AND A
FAMOUS MAN NAMED WIGGLESWORTH CAME TO TOUR AFRICA AND PREACH
IN SOUTH AFRICA. HE GOT UP EARLY ONE MORNING, WIGGLESWORTH DID.
HE ALWAYS WAS, WHEN YOU SAW HIM, HE WAS ALWAYS HAIR COMBED AND
FULLY DRESSED AND LOOKED GOOD. YOU NEVER SAW HIM, UGH, IT WAS
PERFECT. THAT'S THE WAY HE CAME OUT OF EVERY ROOM OR EVERY
HOTEL. THAT'S THE WAY HE WAS. HE GOT UP EARLY THAT MORNING AND
WENT DOWNSTAIRS. HE WAS STAYING IN THE DUPLICITY HOME. AND HE
SCARED MRS. DUPLICITY ALMOST TO DEATH BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HEAR
ANYBODY COMING AND HE HAD THAT BOOMING VOICE, "WHERE'S DAVID?"
WELL, HE'S AT THE OFFICE. HE WENT EARLY TO GET ALL OF HIS
WORK DONE. "TAKE ME TO HIM." WIGGLESWORTH, WHEN HE HAD A
WORD, HE DIDN'T BELIEVE IN TALKING MUCH. HE JUST GAVE
ORDERS. UNTIL HE WAS DONE, THEN HE WAS NICE. AND HE WALKED INTO
THE BUILDING AND DAVID SAID, "I DIDN'T HEAR THE DOOR OPEN. I
DIDN'T HEAR ANY OTHER DOORS. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY OFFICE DOOR
FLEW OPEN AND THERE STOOD FULLY DRESSED WIGGLESWORTH SAYING,
"GET UP, STAND UP." HE SAID, "I WAS SO FRIGHTENED. I STOOD UP
AND WIGGLESWORTH PUSHED HIM AGAINST THE WALL AND ALMOST
TOUCHED HIS NOSE, NOSE TO NOSE AND BEGAN TO PROPHESY ABOUT 3
GREAT MOVES OF GOD THAT WERE COMING. AND HE SAID TO DAVID
THAT THE HOLY GHOST IN ONE OF THOSE MOVES WAS GONNA GO INTO
THE HISTORICAL CHURCHES, EVEN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, AND THAT HE
WOULD HAVE A MAJOR PART IN THE LORD'S WORK INSIDE THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH. WELL, BACK THEN, THE PENTECOSTALS DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT
THE HOLY GHOST WOULD GO TO ANY CATHOLIC CHURCH BECAUSE THEY
WORSHIPED MARY AND IDOLS AND ALL THESE THINGS. BUT
SOMETIMES YOU'RE GONNA REALIZE THE HOLY GHOST
GOES WHERE YOUR TRADITION SAYS NOT TO GO.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
AND YOU HAVE TO DECIDE WHO YOU'RE GONNA OBEY, YOUR DEAD,
DUMB TRADITION, OR THE GOD OF HEAVEN, IT'S UP TO YOU. AND SO
IT TOOK ALMOST 30 YEARS FOR THAT PROPHECY TO COME TO PASS. THE
POPE HAD SENT 2 MEN TO AMERICA TO INVESTIGATE THE CHARISMATIC
RENEWALS, WE CALL IT, 'CAUSE THEY HEARD ABOUT IT, BUT DIDN'T
KNOW IF IT WAS OF GOD OR NOT. HE SENT 2 OF HIS GUYS, AND THEY
CAME BACK TO THE POPE AND SAID, "IT'S REAL, WE DON'T KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, "BUT FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL, IT'S A GOD
THING." HE SAID, "WELL, GO BACK TO AMERICA "AND FIND SOMEBODY
THAT CAN TELL US ABOUT IT "AND TEACH US ALL IT." WELL, DAVID
WENT TO THIS TERRIBLE CONVENTION CALLED THE WORLD COUNCIL OF
CHURCHES. I THINK ONLY DEVILS GO THERE. NOT SURE, BUT POSSIBLY.
IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT YOU WON'T FIND MUCH OF THE
WORD, IT'S MORE INTELLECT AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. AND
DAVID WENT THERE FOR SOME REASON. HE SAID, "I DIDN'T FIT.
"I DIDN'T KNOW WHY I WAS THERE. "AND I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE KIND
OF, YOU KNOW. "TWO ROWS BEHIND HIM SAT THOSE 2 MEN FROM THE
VATICAN "AND THEY MET AND THEY SAID, "'YOU'RE THE MAN WE'VE
BEEN LOOKING FOR. "'COME WITH US.' "THEY TOOK HIM BACK TO THE
VATICAN "AND THE CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC RENEWAL EXPLODED
"AND THE PROPHECY BEGAN TO COME TO PASS." SO YOU'LL ENJOY THAT,
BUT YEAH, YOU SHOULD CLAP ON THAT. THAT'S A GOOD STORY. SEE,
WELL, I DON'T LIKE CATHOLICS, GOD DOES. WELL, CATHOLICS DO
STRANGE THINGS, SO DON'T YOU. GOD LIKES YOU. GOD OVERLOOKS
SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE DO WHILE WE'RE LEARNING AND GROWING
AND DOING THINGS, AND SO CAN'T YOU WITH OUR BROTHERS AND
SISTERS, AND NOT BE SO MEAN. PLEASE CHOOSE TO BE KIND.
KINDNESS IS A GOD CHARACTER, MEANNESS IS A
DEMON CHARACTER. WRITE THAT DOWN. THAT’S SO DEEP,
YOU GOTTA WRITE THAT DOWN. ALRIGHT, AND THEN WE TALK ABOUT
LONNIE FRISBEE, THE JESUS PEOPLE REVIVALIST. 1960, THIS COUNTRY
WAS GOING THROUGH, HERE I AM GOING TO GIVE THIS TO YOU, CAN
YOU CATCH? OH. FLYING PAPER. AND UM, 1960 AMERICA WAS LIBERATING
SEX AND DRUGS AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS AND GOD NEEDED SOMEONE
TO TALK TO AMERICA AND GET THE YOUNG PEOPLES ATTENTION. AND OF
ALL THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA, ALL OF THEM, THINK OF ALL THE PEOPLE
IN AMERICA, HE CHOSE A HIPPIE. A HIPPIE. AND HE GOT SAVED, THEY
MADE A MOVIE CALLED THE JESUS REVOLUTION MOVIE, IT'S A GOOD
MOVIE. BUT THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU EVERYTHING BECAUSE SOME THINGS
THEY CAN'T PUT IN MOVIES LIKE THIS STORY. LONNIE FRISBEE AND 2
FRIENDS WENT AND BOUGHT SOME LSD. WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA. NOW
IT'S CRACK OR METH OR WHATEVER THEY CALL IT. AND WENT UP ON A
SMALL HILL SOMEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA, TOOK ALL THEIR
CLOTHES OFF AND TOOK THE LSD AND DANCED NAKED AND TRIPPED IN THE
SUN THAT AFTERNOON. AND JESUS CAME WALKING ACROSS THE SKY TO
LONNIE FRISBEE WHEN HE'S TRIPPING AND BUTT NAKED. I KNOW,
I KNOW, IT SOUNDS CRAZY. THAT'S WHY HE DIDN'T PICK YOU. HE
DIDN'T PICK ME EITHER. 'CAUSE I DON'T DANCE NAKED ON A
CALIFORNIA HILL. I DON'T DO LSD AND TAKE 2 FRIENDS WITH ME
AND... BUT OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE, HE CAME WALKING ACROSS
THE SKY TO THIS NAKED HIPPIE NAMED LONNIE, AND HE ACCEPTS THE
LORD, AND THE LORD CALLS HIM IN THE MIDDLE. I'M PARAPHRASING,
BUT I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU TO DO. AND HE GOES, "OKAY." AND HE
COMES BACK IN HIS RIGHT MIND THAT FAST. AND THE FIRST THING
HE DID WAS HE PUT HIS CLOTHES ON. IT'S REAL GOOD THAT YOU PUT
YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON. I'M GONNA WRITE A BOOK ONE DAY, "THE NAKED
PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE." 'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF NAKED PEOPLE IN
THE BIBLE, AND YOU'VE GOTTA FIND OUT WHY THEY GOT NAKED AND WHY
THEY GOT DRESSED. THERE'S A STORY THERE. AND HE SAT DOWN
THERE WHILE HIS OTHER 2 FRIENDS WERE STILL TRIPPING ON THEIR
LSD. THEY ALL CAME BACK DOWN AND PUT THEIR CLOTHES BACK ON AND
THEY SAT DOWN AND LONNIE SAYS, "THIS JESUS DUDE APPEARED TO ME
"AND HE WANTS ME TO HELP HIM. "AND I'M GONNA HELP HIM." AND
THEY SAID, "WELL, DO YOU THINK HE NEEDS OUR HELP TOO?" HE GOES,
"IF HE'S ASKING FOR MY HELP, "HE NEEDS A LOT OF HELP." SO HIS 2
FRIENDS KIND OF JUMPED IN TO HELP JESUS TOO. AND THEY SAT
THERE AND TALKED FOR A LITTLE BIT. THEY SAID, "YOU KNOW,
CHRISTIANS DO STUFF WITH WATER. "WHAT DO THEY DO WITH WATER?"
NOW, THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT BAPTISMS. THEY DROVE DOWN TO THE
OCEAN. THEY GOT IN THE OCEAN AND STANDING THERE IN THE WAVES, YOU
KNOW, THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN THE WATER.
SO ONE OF THE GUYS SAID, "WELL, SINCE THE JESUS DUDE TALKED TO
YOU, WHEN THE NEXT WAVE COMES IN, SHOVE ME IN IT.
AND AFTER THAT, SHOVE HIM IN IT." AND SO LONNIE
STARTED SHOVING HIS 2 FRIENDS IN THE WAVES AND THE
HIPPIES ON THE BEACH STARTED WATCHING THIS.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
AND THEY BEGIN TO SAY, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" AND HE TURNS
AROUND AND PREACHES THE FIRST SERMON OF THE JESUS PEOPLE
REVIVAL. AND THAT'S HOW THAT GREAT REVIVAL STARTED.
CAN YOU SAY AMEN? HALLELUJAH. YOU GUYS CLAPPING
LIKE NEBRASKA PEOPLE, GOTTA CLAP LIKE HEAVEN PEOPLE.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
I KNOW IT'S WEDNESDAY NIGHT, BUT ACT LIKE IT'S SUNDAY, OKAY? ALL
RIGHT, I GOT OTHER BOOKS BACK THERE, AND YOU GO BACK THERE AND
GET AHOLD OF, OH, WE'VE GOT OUR CONFERENCE COMING UP. WE'VE GOT
YOUR PASTOR COMING TO OUR CONFERENCE IN SEPTEMBER. WE CALL
IT THE NOW CONFERENCE, WHAT GOD IS SAYING AND DOING NOW. JOSEPH
ZEE, HANK KUNNEMAN, FLASHPOINT'S COMING, AND MY GOOD FRIEND COLIN
DYE FROM LONDON THAT BUILT A 25,000 MEMBER APOSTOLIC CHURCH
IN THE 80S AND 90S BEFORE ANY OF THIS WAS EVEN TALKED ABOUT WOULD
BE WITH US. SO WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU ABOUT THAT. IN ACTS CHAPTER
3 , VERSE 19, LET ME TALK FAST. THE LATTER PART OF THE VERSE
SAYS THIS. WHEN TIMES OF REFRESHING SHALL COME FROM THE
PRESENCE OF THE LORD. NOTICE THAT THE WORDS TIMES IS PLURAL,
MORE THAN ONE. NOTICE THAT IT COMES FROM HEAVEN. IT DOESN'T
COME FROM HEADQUARTERS OF A DENOMINATION, OR A BOARD, OR THE
POPE. GOD DECIDES WHO, WHAT, WHEN, AND HOW HIS TIMES COME
INTO THE EARTH. THERE ARE 3 WAYS TO TALK ABOUT THE TIMES OF GOD.
I CALL THE 3 R'S. REFRESHING, REVIVAL, AND REFORMATION. WRITE
THOSE WORDS DOWN. REFRESHING, REVIVAL, AND REFORMATION.
REFRESHING IS MORE A PERSONAL HAPPENING. YOU'VE SERVED JESUS
FOR A WHILE. I'VE SERVED THE LORD. I JOKINGLY SAY, I WAS BORN
BORN AGAIN. I WAS BORN IN A CHRISTIAN FAMILY. SO I DON'T
REMEMBER A DAY WITHOUT JESUS, PRAYER, BIBLE, CHURCH, GOD. I
JUST GREW UP LIKE THAT. NOW I KNOW THE DAY I GOT SAVED AND
ACCEPTED CHRIST, BUT I NEVER KNEW THAT HE DIDN'T EXIST. HE
ALWAYS EXISTED FOR ME. AND WHEN YOU WORK FOR CHRIST AND WORK IN
THE CHURCH, SOMETIMES YOU DON'T BACKSLIDE AND YOU JUST GET
TIRED. LIKE, I LOVE YOU, LORD, BUT I DON'T WANNA GO TO CHURCH
RIGHT NOW. I LOVE PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA, BUT I DON'T WANNA BE
THEIR CHILDREN'S WORKER ANYMORE. I WANNA STAY HOME. I DON'T WANNA
PRAY. I JUST WANNA MOAN. NOW, IF YOU'VE SERVED THE LORD ANY
LENGTH OF TIME, YOU FACE THAT. AND YOU'RE NOT IN SIN, YOU JUST
NEED GOD TO REFRESH YOU. MAKE EVERYTHING NEW AGAIN LIKE YOU
JUST STARTED AGAIN. AND THAT'S WHAT A REFRESHING IS. SO IF
YOU'RE LIKE THAT TONIGHT, DON'T GET MAD AT YOURSELF OR BEAT
YOURSELF UP, JUST ASK THE LORD, I LOVE YOU, BUT I NEED YOU TO
HELP ME. HELP MY FAMILY. MAKE EVERYTHING NEW FOR ME AGAIN. THE
EXCITEMENT FOR THE WORD, EXCITEMENT FOR THE CHURCH. AND
HE'LL DO THAT FOR YOU. SOME OF YOU ARE LIKE “WELL I JUST NEED A
BREAK” NO YOU NEED THE HOLY GHOST TO COME BAPTIZE YOU
AGAIN. BLOW ON YOU AND RAIN ON YOU AND DO ALL THOSE GOOD
THINGS TO YOU AND MAKE EVERYTHING NEW. AMEN. NOW
REVIVAL IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH. WE HAVE
REVIVAL CULTURE. WE HAVE REVIVAL PRAYER MEETINGS, REVIVAL
BOOKS, REVIVAL CONFERENCES, REVIVAL, REVIVAL, REVIVAL.
REVIVAL IS WHEN GOD COMES TO HIS PEOPLE AND REVIVES THEM TO THEIR
PURPOSES OR TO TRUTHS THAT ARE FORGOTTEN OR OUT OF ORDER.
REVIVAL. AMERICA IS A LAND OF REVIVALS. SHE HAS NEVER HAD THE
THIRD R, REFORMATION, UNTIL NOW. WE ARE IN AMERICA'S FIRST GREAT
REFORMATION. AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE FACING RIGHT NOW. THAT IS
WHY SOME OF YOU HERE, SOME OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, YOU'RE
USED TO THE REFRESHING, YOU'RE USED TO THE REVIVAL, BUT THIS
OTHER THING IS, YOU KNOW IT'S THE LORD, BUT IT DOESN'T QUITE
FEEL RIGHT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR BECAUSE ITS A
REFORMATION MANTEL A REFORMATION SPIRIT THAT HAS COME TO OUR
COUNTRY. NOW I’VE READ, MY LIBRARIAN TELLS ME, 14,000
BOOKS. SO THAT’S WHY I WEAR GLASSES, MY EYES ARE STILL
TIRED. NOW NOT EVERY BOOK WAS BIG, SOME OF THEM WERE LITTLE SO
DON’T THINK THEY WERE ALL LIKE THIS BIG, BUT THERE WERE SOME.
THOSE WERE WRITTEN BY PEOPLE SO SMART THEY WERE STUPID.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THEY ARE SO SMART THEY CAN’T REALLY DO
NOTHIN BUT TRY TO TELL YOU HOW SMART THEY ARE. A SMART MAN
KNOWN HE IS AND SIMPLIFIES HIS MESSAGE SO EVERYONE CAN GET IT.
NOT TRYING TO MAKE SURE “IM SMART”. NO YOU’RE NOT. IF YOU’RE
THAT SMART YOU WOULD SIMPLIFY SO THE LITTLE UNEDUCATED PERSON CAN
GET AS WELL AS THE GREAT EDUCATED PERSON. THAT’S A SMART
PERSON. SO THEY BRING ME INTO THESE SEMINARIES NOW. I'M AN
AUTHORITY. ALL THESE THINGS THEY SAY, LIKE IF YOU KNEW WHERE I
CAME FROM, YOU WOULDN'T BE SAYING THAT. I CAME FROM TULSA,
FROM TULSA, NOT DALLAS, JUST TULSA. AND I WAS RAISED BY
SOUTHERN NORTH CAROLINA COUNTRY PREACHERS. SO I LIKE ALL OF
THAT, BUT NOW I'M AN AUTHORITY BECAUSE I READ BOOKS AND TALK TO
OLD PEOPLE. THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO. I JUST TALK TO
THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND LEARN STUFF THAT YOU NEED TO LEARN. WHEN
YOU'RE YOUNG, ENJOY PLAYING GOLF WITH YOUR YOUNG BUDDIES.
IF YOU WANT SMARTS, FIND OLD PEOPLE AND SHUT UP AND
LET THEM TALK. SEE, NOTICE, NOT ONE AMEN ON THAT.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
I'LL SAY THAT AGAIN. FIND OLD PEOPLE THAT KNOW MORE ABOUT GOD
AND LIFE THAN YOU AND HANG OUT WITH THEM. AMEN. THANK YOU. AND
IF YOU WANNA GO WATCH A BASKETBALL GAME OR DO SOME,
THAT'S FINE. YOU CAN DO THAT WITH YOUR FRIENDS, BUT DON'T
BELIEVE THEM, JUST ENJOY THEM. YOUNG PEOPLE LEARN THROUGH
SUFFERING. OLD PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THAT. AND
IF YOU LISTEN TO THEM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER SO MUCH.
SUFFERING NORMALLY IS ALL YOUR STUPID FAULT.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
MOST OF IT IS. AND WHEN I'D READ THESE REVIVAL BOOKS AND TALK TO
THESE OLD PEOPLE, I NOTICED IN THE WRITINGS OF SOME OF THE
HISTORICAL WRITERS AND THE THEOLOGICAL WRITERS THAT THERE'S
THIS THING CALLED REFORMATION. AND I THOUGHT, WOULDN'T IT BE
GREAT? SO I READ ABOUT LUTHER AND CALVIN AND ALL THE REFORMERS
AND THE TIME PERIOD AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE. I THOUGHT, WOW,
WOULDN'T THAT BE GREAT TO BE IN A REFORMATION? 'CAUSE
REFORMATION IS MORE FUN THAN REVIVAL. THAT NEVER GOES OVER IN
AMERICA. OH, REALLY? BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TOLD ABOUT IT
AND HOW IT WORKS AND HOW IT FEELS. THAT'S WHY A STATEMENT
LIKE THAT KIND OF MAKE YOU, REALLY? YES, REALLY. YES,
REALLY. REFORMATION IS STRONGER THAN REVIVAL. REFORMATION
LASTS LONGER THAN REVIVAL, AND IT HAS A DIFFERENT KIND
OF WARFARE THAN REVIVAL. AND WHEN IT'S DONE, IT
STAYS FUNCTIONING LONGER IN CULTURE THAN REVIVAL DOES.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
ALL RIGHT, SO THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. WHAT IS REFORMATION?
REFORMATION IS WHEN GOD FINDS A LIVING PEOPLE THAT HE HOOKS UP
WITH, OR THEY HOOK UP WITH HIM, TO GO INTO SOCIETY, TO BRING
BACK SOCIETY BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL INTENT FOR ALL THE
DIFFERENT POSTURES AND THINGS HAPPENING IN SOCIETY AND
CULTURE. IN THIS CHURCH, 7 MOUNTAINS WOULD NOT BE AN
UNUSUAL STATEMENT TO YOU, BUT FOR MOST CHURCHES, IT'S STILL A
CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT BECAUSE THEY'RE PASTORED BY DEAD, DIPPY
PEOPLE, AND THEIR HISTORIANS SHOULD BE FIRED BECAUSE THEY
DON'T TELL THE STORY THAT MOVES THE HEART FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN
TODAY. YOU LEARN FROM THE PAST, YOU LIVE IN THE PRESENT, AND YOU
REACH FOR TOMORROW THAT'S ALWAYS BIGGER AND BETTER THAN THE PAST
AND THE PRESENT. GOD FINDS A LIVING PERSON, A LIVING CHURCH,
AND GOES INTO SOCIETY TO BRING THINGS BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL
INTENT. ALL RIGHT? LET'S JUST TAKE ONE EXAMPLE. FAMILY IS ONE
OF OUR GREAT PILLARS THAT HAS BEEN UNDER ATTACK FOR A LONG
TIME IN THIS NATION. THE ORIGINAL FAMILY, THE ORIGINAL
INTENT AND CONSTRUCTION IS THIS. A MASCULINE MAN MARRIES A
FEMININE WOMAN AND BRINGS BABIES INTO IT THAT LOOK LIKE THEM AND
RAISE THEM TO BE A SUCCESS WITH GOD AND MAN AND SOCIETY. AND TO
DO IT AT A HOME WHERE THEY ALL LIVE TOGETHER, FIGHT TOGETHER,
JOY TOGETHER, AND THEY'RE A FAMILY. NOW, I LIVED IN PASADENA
FOR 20 YEARS IN CALIFORNIA. IT'S WORSE NOW THAN IT WAS BACK THEN.
BUT EVERYTHING THAT IS TRADITIONAL IS CALLED BAD ON THE
WEST COAST. AND EVERYTHING GOOFY AND DEMONIC AND STUPID IS CALLED
NORMAL. GOD WANTS TO INVADE EVERY PART OF OUR SOCIETY AND
SAY, "HERE IS HOW MAN SHOULD BE IN LIFE AND SOCIETY." THAT'S
REFORMATION, OKAY? THAT'S WHAT REFORMATION IS. NOW,
REFORMATION, USUALLY 10, 15 YEAR, HISTORICALLY SPEAKING, A
RUN. A REVIVAL, 5 TO 7 YEARS, AND THESE ARE JUST NUMBERS THAT
I PULL FROM MY STUDIES, AND THEY VARY, BUT THAT'LL GIVE YOU A
FEEL. A REVIVAL MAINLY AFFECTS THE CHURCH AND THE HEART OF THE
PEOPLE IN IT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A CULTURAL BLEED INTO
SOCIETY. AS SOON AS REVIVAL IS OVER, IT STARTS TO WANE. THE
FIRST THING TO DISAPPEAR IS THE SOCIETAL INFLUENCE. THEN IT
LEAVES THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE CHURCH, AND IF THE PERSON WILL
KEEP THEMSELVES ALIVE SPIRITUALLY, IT'LL REMAIN IN
THEM. TULSA TODAY, WHERE I WAS BORN, SO I CAN TALK ABOUT 'EM.
THE REVIVAL I GREW UP IN IS NOT IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF TULSA NOW.
IT'S NOT REALLY IN MOST OF THE CHURCHES. IT IS FOUND IN THE
HEART OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT YOU CAN MEET AND TALK TO AND TAP
INTO IT, AND THEY COME ALIVE WITH IT. NOW I'M NOT SAYING THAT
TO BE MEAN, I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S A FACT. NOW, REVIVALS ARE
FUN. I'M TOLD THAT I'M THE TOP REVIVAL HISTORIAN, SO I'M GONNA
MAKE AN ARROGANT STATEMENT. IF THE TOP GUY THAT STUDIES REVIVAL
HISTORY AND TAUGHT MOST OF THE CHARISMATICS REVIVAL HISTORY IS
TELLING YOU THERE IS SOMETHING BIGGER THAN REVIVAL, YOU MIGHT
WANT TO LISTEN TO HIM. IF I'M TELLING YOU THAT IT'S HERE, YOU
MIGHT WANT TO INVESTIGATE THE STATEMENT. THE AMERICAN
REFORMATION HAS NOT FOUND ITS WAY HERE AND JUST WROTE, IT IS
HERE. IT IS WORKING AND IT'S BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW
IT'S GETTING BIGGER AND LOUDER WHERE EVERYBODY IS GOING TO HAVE
TO UNDERSTAND REFORMATIONAL ACTIVITY VERSUS JUST REVIVAL
CULTURE. NOW, IN REFORMATION, THERE IS REVIVAL, BUT IN
REVIVAL, THERE IS NOT REFORMATION. ALL RIGHT, SO
THAT'S WHY AZUSA STREET, ALL THESE GREAT REVIVALS I'VE LOVED
AND TAUGHT ABOUT AND LOVE TELLING THE STORY. I LOVE THEM,
BUT I'M MORE EXCITED NOW ABOUT THIS REFORMATION THING THAT I
HAVE ALL THOSE THINGS I'VE TAUGHT FOR YEARS BECAUSE I GET
TO LIVE IN A REFORMATION. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE ABLE TO
BE ALIVE IN A REFORMATIONAL MOMENT. AND WE ARE HERE IN OUR
COUNTRY WITH OUR FIRST ONE. IT'S A BIG DEAL. IT IS A HUGE MOMENT
FOR ALL OF US. IT'S EXCITING. SAY, BROTHER ROBERTS, I JUST
WANNA BE IN REVIVAL. WELL, SHAME ON YOU. IF THERE'S ANOTHER
DIMENSION OF GOD'S SPIRITUAL VISITATIONS, WHY DON'T YOU JOIN
IT? IT'S LIKE THE RAILROAD TRACK. YOU GOT 2 RAILS. YOU'VE
GOT A REVIVAL RAIL AND A REFORMATION RAIL, AND WE'RE THE
TRAIN COMING DOWN ON THOSE 2 TRACKS. THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE.
WARFARE, YOU HAVE BOTH IN REVIVAL AND IN REFORMATION, BUT
ONE'S MORE INTENSE THAN THE OTHER. OKAY? REVIVAL SEEMS TO
START FROM THE BOTTOM UP. REFORMATION SEEMED TO START FROM
THE TOP DOWN BECAUSE WE'RE DEALING WITH POWERPOINTS AND
CULTURAL PRINCIPLES, SO WE SEEM TO HAVE THE MORE OF A
STRAIGHTFORWARD INTO THE TOP ECHELON AND WE START THE BATTLE
IN THE TOP OF THE THING AND IT COMES DOWN THE WAY IT SEEMS.
I'LL SUBMIT THAT TO YOU TO OBSERVE AND LEARN. SO SOME OF
THIS I'M STILL LEARNING. REFORMATION IS A, EVERYBODY IS
INVOLVED. REVIVAL, NOT EVERYBODY. REFORMATION,
EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION BECAUSE IT IS A BATTLE BETWEEN LUCIFER
AND JEHOVAH, LIGHT AND DARKNESS, GOD AND GOOD AND EVIL, COMMON
SENSE AND STUPIDITY. AND RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN
AMERICA IS NOT A REVIVAL. THERE ARE REVIVAL ASPECTS, AND MAY
THEY KEEP GOING AND MAY THEY MULTIPLY. BUT THE BIGGER THING
THAT'S CAUSING ALL THE UNCOMFORTABLENESS IS THE
REFORMATIONAL ASPECT THAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND. ALL RIGHT?
REFORMATION DEMANDS THAT YOU STATE WHAT YOU BELIEVE, NOT
QUIETLY KEEP IT IN YOUR HEART. IF YOU'RE QUIET IN REFORMATION,
YOU AGREE WITH THE WRONG SIDE, THE DARK SIDE. SO THAT IS WHY
IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN REVIVAL. OKAY,
THAT IS WHY EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION ABOUT TRUMP,
EDUCATION, MONEY, RELIGION, IT'S GONNA FLY FOR THE NEXT 10, 15
YEARS. SO THIS THING IS JUST STARTED, BABY. SO IF YOU
THINK WHEN MR. TRUMP IS DONE IN 3 YEARS, IT'S OVER,
(LAUGHS)
REFORMATION CONTINUES AFTER THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY COMES TO A
NATURAL END. SO IF YOU'RE WAITING FOR THAT TO BE OVER,
FOR THIS MOMENT TO GO AWAY, IT'S HERE FOR AT LEAST 10
TO 15 YEARS. SO SOME OF YOUR SOUL, YOU'LL DIE IN IT.
SO DON'T BE QUIET IN YOUR LATTER YEARS, JUMP UP
AND HAVE A GOOD TIME AND ACT LIKE CALEB.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
ALL RIGHT, LET ME ILLUSTRATE IT LIKE THIS. I WAS BORN IN TULSA
AND WE WENT TO A CHURCH THAT WE WERE NOT CRUISEOMATICS, WE WERE
PROPER CHURCH PEOPLE. I'M GONNA BE 60 ON SATURDAY. ME AND MY
SISTER AND MY FAMILY WERE ONLY MEMBERS OF 4 CHURCHES IN ALL
THESE YEARS. SO WE DIDN'T CRUISE AROUND BECAUSE WE DIDN'T LIKE
THE PREACHER OR THE MUSIC OR THE GUEST SPEAKER OR SOMEBODY TOOK
OUR SEAT. YOU KNOW HOW STUFF IS. IT'S AMAZING HOW EASY IT IS TO
GET PEOPLE OUT OF THE WILL OF GOD. THEY SIT IN MY SEAT. WE'LL
SIT IN ANOTHER ONE AND SHUT UP. IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS. AND THEN
WE GO, "WELL, I DON'T LIKE THIS CHURCH NO MORE." STUPID, STUPID.
WHEN YOU CAME TO THIS CHURCH, YOUR WIFE DIDN'T LIKE YOU, YOUR
KIDS WERE STRAIGHT ON DRUGS, AND YOUR DOG RAN AWAY WHEN YOU CAME
HOME. NOW YOUR WIFE LOVES YOU, YOUR KIDS ARE RIGHT, MARRIED,
GOOD, AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE THE CHURCH WHERE THE BLESSING
CAME FROM? STUPID. JUST STUPID. I MEAN, SOME OF THIS STUFF
SHOULD BE SETTLED BY NOW SO YOU CAN DO A REFORMATIONAL WORK.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY. I'VE BEEN OUT THERE SO LONG AND I'M
TURNING 60 WHERE I DON'T CARE IS GETTING BIGGER. I MAY BE REAL
DANGEROUS BY THE TIME I GET 75. I LOOK AT PEOPLE LIKE, BEFORE
YOU CAME TO HANK AND BRENDA'S CHURCH, WHATEVER CHURCH YOU'RE
FROM, AND YOUR LIFE WAS ALL MESSED UP, AND THE PEOPLE TOOK
YOU IN AND PRAYED FOR YOU AND LOVED YOU AND BELIEVED YOU AND
WALKED THROUGH ALL YOUR MESSES THAT DIDN'T LOOK AT YOU WEIRD,
THEY KEPT BELIEVING TO WHAT YOU BECAME TODAY. AND YOU GET, "NAH,
YOU AIN'T GET IT. "YOU NEED YOUR BUTT SPANKED, YOUR HEAD PRAYED
FOR IT." THAT'S A GRANDMA QUOTE. GRANDMA USED TO SAY, "A GOOD OLD
SPANKING "AND SOME PRAYER WILL FIX ANY OF THIS STUFF. "MAY THE
OLD LADIES COME BACK WITH THEIR PRAYER SHAWLS "AND THEIR
BOARDS." I HOPE I GET INVITED BACK AFTER THIS SERMON.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
BUT IN OUR LITTLE CHURCH, WE WENT TO A PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS
CHURCH. THEY ORDAINED ME WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD, THE
PENTECOSTALS DID. IN OUR CHURCH IN THOSE DAYS, WE ONLY HAD 2
PEOPLE GIVE MESSAGES IN TONGUES AND INTERPRETATION OF PROPHECY.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF IT. YOU PROBABLY HAD 3 MESSAGES ON THE
WAY TO CHURCH, 4 INSIDE THE CHURCH, AND 6 ON WHEN YOU GO
HOME. BUT THAT WAS LIKE A WHOLE 2 YEAR PERIOD FOR OUR CHURCH. WE
DIDN'T HAVE IT. WE HAD TONGUES AND ONLY 2 PEOPLE GAVE IT. ONE
LADY AND ONE OLD GUY. AND THE LADY SAID THE SAME STUPID THING
EVERY TIME SHE PROPHESIED. YAY YAY MY LITTLE LAMBS. I THOUGHT,
CAN I BECOME A SHEEP? CAN WE GROW OUT OF LAMB-HOOD INTO
SHEEP-HOOD? BECAUSE FOR 40 YEARS WE'VE BEEN YAY YAY MY LITTLE
LAMBS. I'M LIKE, PLEASE GET A NEW NAME. NOW SHE WAS NICE, BUT
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF HER YAY YAY STUFFS WERE REAL, BUT WE
ENJOYED IT BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
BUT HE WAS MORE, WELL, WHEN HE SPOKE, WE GAVE BOTH EARS. SHE
ONLY GOT ONE EAR WHEN WE LISTENED. ONE EAR FOR HER, 2
EARS FOR HIM. AND HE GOT UP, AND I REMEMBER THIS PROPHECY. HE GOT
UP AND HE HAD A VISION. HE WAS DESCRIBING THE VISION. I SEE THE
PRESIDENT IN THE OVAL OFFICE. IT'S 1970. AND HE'S BEHIND THE
RESOLUTE DESK, AND THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THAT OFFICE LAYING
HANDS ON HIM AND PRAYING LIKE WE DO HERE IN THIS CHURCH, WHICH
MEANT TONGUES AND HANDS. AND THEN HE STOPPED AND HE GOES,
"AND HE LIKES IT." AND HE STOOD FOR A FEW MOMENTS OF SILENCE,
AND WE WERE ALL KIND OF SHOCKED AT WHAT WE WERE HEARING, HAPPY
BUT SHOCKED AND HE SAID, "I HEAR SONGS THAT WE SING IN THE CHURCH
"COMING OUT OF GOVERNMENT OFFICES ALL OVER WASHINGTON "AND
ACROSS THE COUNTRY." HE SAID, "I HEAR THE SONGS OF THE CHURCH IN
THE OFFICES." IN, NOT IN THE CHURCH, IN THE OFFICES. AND THE
PROPHECY CAME TO A CLOSE AND SINCE WE DIDN'T GET TOO MANY
PROPHECIES, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT ONE FOR A LONG TIME. AND
HERE'S HOW WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT. THEY FELT IT WAS THE LORD, BUT
THEY FELT THAT IT'D BE MY GRANDCHILDREN THAT WOULD SEE
IT. THAT'S HOW THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IN A TIMETABLE,
THAT FAR AWAY. WHEN HE FIRST, THE ORANGE MAN FIRST BECAME
PRESIDENT, I SAW A PICTURE WITH SOME OF OUR FRIENDS IN
THE OVAL OFFICE LAYING THEIR HANDS ON MR.
TRUMP, PRAYING BEHIND THE RESOLUTE DESK.
(SCREAMS)
SO I CALLED HIM, I SAID, "ALL RIGHT, HOW DID YOU PRAY?" I
WANNA KNOW EVERY DETAIL OF THAT PRAYER. WAS THEIR TONGUES OUT
LOUD? YES. GOOD, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE PRAY IN OUR CHURCH. AND
DID HE LIKE IT? YES, HE LIKES IT. I SAID, GOOD, IT'S
HAPPENING. BUT NONE OF US WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT THE ORANGE MAN
WOULD BE THE ONE THAT WOULD BE THE ONE USED BY THE LORD TO DO
SOME OF THESE FULFILLMENTS OF WHAT HE'S DOING BECAUSE IT
WASN'T OUR PREFERENCE. YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IN
REVIVAL AND IN REFORMATION BETWEEN THE LORD AND YOU. WHEN
YOU PRAY, YOUR MIND GETS A PICTURE OR A FEELING. LORD, SAVE
OMAHA, LORD, SAVE MY COUSIN, LORD, HELP ME. WHEN YOU PRAY
LIKE THAT, NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT YOU GET A PICTURE
NORMALLY OF HOW THAT'S GONNA COME TO PASS. NOW, IN THE
PROPHETIC WORLD, WE'VE KIND OF GOT A LITTLE BIT LOOPY, WHERE
EVERYTHING WE DREAM, THINK, OR SEE IS PROPHETIC. NO, IT'S NOT.
SOME OF IT'S YOU. AND THERE'S MORE OF YOU THAN THAT. NOW, WALK
WITH ME. NOW, WHAT IS THAT? THAT'S YOUR PREFERENCE TALKING.
THAT'S YOUR PREFERENCE. NOW, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH
HAVING, WHEN YOU PRAY THAT YOUR MIND IS SUPPORTING YOUR PRAYERS
WITH GIVING YOU PICTURES, BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHEN IT'S YOUR
PICTURES OR A PICTURE FROM THE LORD. BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE MISS
WHAT THEY PRAY IN BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ACCORDING TO THEIR
PICTURE. AND THEY DISASSOCIATE AND DON'T COOPERATE AND FIGHT
THE ANSWER TO THEIR PRAYERS. ALL RIGHT, YOU STILL WITH ME? LET ME
GIVE YOU ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION 'CAUSE IT'S A BIG POINT. THIS
SERMON NORMALLY TAKES A WEEK TO PREACH. SO YOU'RE JUST GETTING
THE INTRODUCTION. ABOUT 30 MILES NORTH OF HELSINKI, FINLAND, BACK
IN THE EARLY 80S, THERE WAS A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT MET ON A
WEEKLY BASIS IN A HOUSE THAT WAS PAINTED WHITE. AND THEY HAD
PRAYED FOR GOD TO COME AND VISIT FINLAND AND SCANDINAVIA. ONE DAY
GOD CAME AND TOLD HIM WHAT TO DO. CAME WITH A PROPHETIC
INSTRUCTION, GO TO AMERICA AND GET WORD OF FAITH AND BRING IT
BACK. NOW THOSE WORDS MADE NO SENSE TO PEOPLE, BUT THEY KNEW
IT WAS THE LORD, SO THEY WEREN'T WEALTHY PEOPLE. SO THEY SAVED
MONEY AND SOLD THINGS TO BUY 2 TICKETS FOR THE YOUNG COUPLE WHO
COULD SPEAK THE BEST ENGLISH AND SENT THEM TO AMERICA TO GET WHAT
THAT PROPHET SAID, GET AND BRING BACK. THEY FLY FROM HELSINKI TO
NEW YORK, GET OFF THE PLANE, GO THROUGH CUSTOMS, GET THEIR BAGS,
AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO THEY ASK A NEW YORKER, WHICH IS
KIND OF INTERESTING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS AN ANGEL OR A
DRUNK NEW YORKER THAT GOD COULD USE, I DON'T KNOW.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
BUT THIS COUPLE WALKED UP TO A PERSON AT BAGGAGE CLAIM AND
SAID, "WE'RE HERE," AND THEY COULD TELL THEY WERE FOREIGNERS
BY THE WAY THEY TALKED, WITH THEIR ACCENTS AND SO FORTH, AND
"WE'RE HERE FOR A WORD OF FAITH, "WHERE IS IT AT?" KIND OF
QUESTION. AND THE GUY GOES, "I THINK IT'S IN TULSA." JUST HOW
IN THE WORLD DO YOU FIND A NEW YORKER THAT KNOWS THAT,
ESPECIALLY BACK THEN? SO I LIVED IN TULSA AT THAT TIME, AND IN
THOSE YEARS, THERE WAS ONLY ONE DIRECT FLIGHT ONCE A WEEK FROM
NEW YORK TO TULSA. IT WAS THAT DAY. AND THEY WALK UP TO THE
RIGHT AIRLINE, WHICH WAS AMERICAN AIRLINES THAT DID IT,
AND FLEW THEIR NICE LITTLE FINNISH PEOPLE THAT HAD NO IDEA
WHERE THEY WERE GOING, TO TULSA. GOT OFF THE PLANE, SO LET'S GO
TO BAGGAGE CLAIM, AND SINCE IT WORKED LAST TIME, LET'S ASK
SOMEBODY ELSE AT BAGGAGE CLAIM WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW.
SO THEY ASK, WE'RE HERE FOR A WORD OF FAITH, WHAT ARE WE
SUPPOSED TO DO? OH, IT'S DOWNTOWN AT THE CIVIC CENTER.
THAT WAS THE WEEK, IT WAS MONDAY MORNING OF KENNETH HAGIN'S CAMP
MEETING. GOD HAD ORCHESTRATED ALL OF THAT. SO THERE WAS NO
UBERS IN THOSE DAYS, YOU HAD YALA CABS, THEY'VE DISAPPEARED
NOW. THEY GOT IN A YALA CAB AND WENT DOWN TO THE CIVIC CENTER
WITH THEIR BAGS, WALKED IN AND SAW THE MAGAZINE LINE THERE, IT
WAS CALLED WORD OF FAITH. THEY HIT IT. WELL, CRAZIER THAN THAT,
THEY GOT TO MEET BROTHER HAGIN DURING CAMP MEETING. OF COURSE,
YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT HAGIN DURING CAMP MEETING 'CAUSE HE
STAYS FOCUSED ON THAT MEETING, BUT SOMEHOW THEY DID AND
ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE THAT 2 OF THE FIRST YEAR RAYMOND GRADS
WOULD GO ON A CERTAIN MONTH IN A FEW MONTHS TO FINLAND AND HOLD A
MEETING AT THE LITTLE PRAYER HOUSE. SO THE 2 GUYS
AND I KNOW THEM, THEY WENT OFF TO FINLAND, CAME
IN, AND WHAT IF FAITH PEOPLE DIDN'T? THEY DON'T DRESS
LIKE HIM, WITH BOOTS THAT GLOW IN THE DARK.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
THEY DRESS MORE LIKE ME. ONE OF MY GOALS IS WHEN I TURN 60,
CHANGE HOW I LOOK, SO YOU MIGHT HAVE TO HELP ME. I NEED SOME
BOOTS THAT GLOW IN THE DARK, ALL RIGHT? SO I STILL DRESS A LITTLE
BIT OLD, SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME, BUT I'VE DECIDED THAT'S ONE OF
MY CHANGES, ALL RIGHT? SO BACK IN THOSE DAYS, WE'RE THE FAITH
PEOPLE, WORE SUITS AND TIES, SHINY SHOES, AND THAT NUGGET
WATCH AND RING THAT WAS GOD AWFUL UGLY, BUT THEY WORE IT.
AND THEY WALKED INTO THE HOUSE TO HAVE THEIR FIRST MEETING AND
80% OF THE PEOPLE AT THAT MEETING DID NOT LIKE THEM, YOU
WON'T BELIEVE THIS, BECAUSE THEY HAD SHINY SHOES. AH! SHINY
SHOES. AND THEY ACTUALLY REJECTED THEM. AND AFTER ABOUT 2
DAYS, THEY DECIDED IT'S NOT WORTH IT. ALL THEY DID WAS FUSS.
SO THEY LEFT FINLAND AND WENT TO SWEDEN TO A LITTLE SYNAGOGUE
CHURCH. AND THERE SAT IN THE CROWD A YOUNG VIKING NAMED ULF
EKMAN THAT HEARD THE WORD OF FAITH AND CAME ALL THE WAY TO
RHEMA AND WENT BACK AND EXPLODED WITH A GREAT REVIVAL
OVER THERE. BUT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO START IN FINLAND, BUT THE
FINNISH PEOPLE THERE DIDN'T LIKE IT BECAUSE THE PREACHERS HAD
SHINY SHOES. HOW STUPID. AND THAT'S THE WAY SOME OF YOU ARE
WITH WHAT GOD IS DOING TODAY. ESPECIALLY YOU THAT ARE WATCHING
ME. NOW, BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT SORTED PREFERENCE FROM THE WORD
OF THE LORD AND THE SCRIPTURES. NOW, SHINY SHOES STOPPED FINLAND
FROM HAVING THE REVIVAL. SWEDEN, NORWAY, DENMARK, THE BALTIC
EXPLODED ALL OVER. RIGHT NOW, WITH REFORMATION, THERE ARE
THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY THAT IS NOT HOW YOU
THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE. 'CAUSE MOST OF YOU, AND YOU THAT
ARE WATCHING ME, PICTURED A REVIVAL HAPPENING MORE THAN A
REFORMATION HAPPENING. 'CAUSE YOU NEVER WERE TOLD ABOUT
REFORMATION. MOST PASTORS DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. THEY THINK IT'S
LONG AGO WITH LUTHER AND THESE GUYS, AND THAT WAS ONE BACK
THEN, BUT THERE'S ONE TODAY THAT IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA AND
COMING TO THE WESTERN WORLD. IT IS HAPPENING NOW.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
AND YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DON'T LET YOUR PREFERENCE
KEEP YOU FROM ENJOYING WHAT YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING AND
PROPHESYING AS IT COMES TO PASS IN THIS COUNTRY. AMEN. CAN YOU
SAY AMEN? AMEN. NOW I KNOW I'M KIND OF PREACHING TO THE CHOIR A
LITTLE BIT, BUT I JUST WANT TO REAFFIRM, WE'RE NOT IN A
REVIVAL. ALL THESE FLASHPOINT GUYS, THEY DON'T ADD ANOTHER
WORD TO THEIR LIT UP, REFORMATION, BUT THEY DON'T DO
IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. THEY'RE SLOWLY COMING
INTO IT. AND THEY'RE, YEAH, IT'S DIFFERENT, BABY. IT'S A LOT MORE
INTENSE. ALL RIGHT, LET ME DO 2 MORE THINGS. HEBREWS 11:33, LET
ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. GO OVER THERE REAL FAST. HEBREWS 11:33,
WE ARE OUT OF A FAITH CAMP AND I LOVE MY WORD OF FAITH ROOTS AND
NOT ASHAMED OF BEING A HAGANITE. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ BROTHER
HAGIN'S BOOKS, THEN PLEASE DO SO, YOU'LL BE HAPPIER ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF IT. IF YOU LISTEN TO THE IDIOTS ON YOUTUBE, YOU'LL
BE LIKE THEM. YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU LISTEN TO.
HEBREWS 11:33, 11:33. WHO THROUGH FAITH SUBDUED KINGDOMS,
WROUGHT RIGHTEOUSNESS, OBTAINED PROMISES, AND STOPPED THE MOUTHS
OF LIONS. THE ONLY PART OF THAT VERSE THAT'S REAL STRONG TODAY
IN MOST OF OUR CHURCHES IS OBTAINING PROMISE FAITH. THEY
HAVE NO SUBDUING CONQUERING FAITH, NO ROT OR CHANGING FAITH
OR STOPPING FAITH. REFORMATION IS CONQUERING, ROTTING AND
STOPPING, NOT JUST OBTAINING. AND SO THE FAITH THAT YOU'VE GOT
HAS BEEN DEVELOPED REAL STRONG IN CLAIMING VERSES THAT BLESS
YOU. PLEASE KEEP THAT, BUT ADD TO IT THE OTHER DIMENSIONS OF
WHAT FAITH LIKES TO DO. AND THAT LIKES TO CONQUER, CONQUEST,
TAKE, TAKE BACK, ESTABLISH, BUILD, RULE, GOVERN. NOW NOTICE
THE CLAP FACTOR IN THIS ROOM. WHO CLAPS AND WHO DOESN'T?
BECAUSE SOME OF YOU ARE PARASITICAL CHRISTIANS IN THIS
CHURCH. YOU'RE RIDING WHAT OTHERS HAVE LABORED AND YOU ARE
NOT A PART, A PARTICIPATING PART AS YOU SHOULD.
(CONGREGATION MURMURS)
SOME OF YOU LIKE THE NICE BUILDING NOW. SEE, LOOK HOW GOOD
I LOOK UP THERE. I LOOK 30, PRAISE THE LORD.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHS)
NOW, HEAR ME. I'M YOUR FRIEND MORE THAN YOU KNOW. I TALK
HOSTILE BECAUSE I'M ANGRY ALL THE TIME IN MY HEART AGAINST
WHAT'S ROBBING US AND ROBBING YOU. IF WE COULD JUST MAKE
SMALL, NOT HUGE, SMALL ADJUSTMENTS IN THINGS, WHAT
COULD HAPPEN? AND SOME OF THE HINDRANCES IS NOT OUT THERE,
IT'S IN HERE. BROTHER ROBERTS, I JUST WANNA BE A NICE CHRISTIAN
WHERE I BELIEVE I RECEIVE MY MONEY, MY HEALING, AND NICE
LITTLE THINGS. OKAY, THAT'S NICE, BUT YOU'RE NOT A SOLDIER.
HE MAY BE ONE OF THOSE THAT ACTUALLY COMES AGAINST THE
REFORMATION BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FIT THAT KIND OF FAITH ONLY.
FAITH THAT CONQUERS, CONQUEST IS REFORMATIONAL. TO WROUGHT
RIGHTEOUS OR BRING ABOUT RIGHTNESS IN HEART, LIFE,
SOCIETY, AND SO FORTH. THEN STOPPING STUFF. STOPPING THE
DEVIL, STOPPING THE WORK, NOT JUST TO SAVE THE PRESIDENT'S
LIFE, BUT TO KEEP THE IDIOTS OUT OF YOUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
TO KEEP RAGING MURDEROUS SPIRITS FROM COMING
INTO YOUR TOWN AND SHOOTING PEOPLE UP.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
BROTHER ROBERT, WE DON'T DO THAT. WE WAIT FOR THE RAPTURE
AND YOU ARE GOOFY. GOOFY. WHY WE'RE HERE, WE'RE TO OCCUPY TILL
HE COMES. WHY WE'RE HERE, WE'RE TO MAKE DEVILS EAT DIRT AND
SUFFER. BUT MOST OF THE TIME, DEVILS ENJOY BEATING YOU UP. I
HAVE A SERMON I'VE BEEN TRYING TO PREACH AND I GET SCARED TO
PREACH IT. THE DAY OF THE PRINCIPALITY WAR HAS BEGUN. MOST
OF US FIGHT LITTLE MONKEY DEVILS.
(IMITATES MONKEY)
THEY JUMP ON ONE SIDE, BITE YOUR EAR OVER HERE, THEY YELL AT IT.
YOU THINK YOU'RE FIGHTING A BIG OLD DEVIL. I'VE BEEN OUT
FIGHTING PRINCIPALITIES, REALLY. IT'S WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING, THE
LITTLE MONKEY DEVILS. PRINCIPALITIES DON'T ACT LIKE
THAT. YOU INVITED ME. I GOT ABOUT 6 TO 8 MINUTES, BUT I
GOTTA CLOSE, SO HANG ON. I'VE SAT AND WATCHED, I'LL TELL YOU
THIS, I'VE BEEN IN 130 COUNTRIES. THAT MEANS THOUSANDS
OF CITIES, LARGE AND SMALL, ALL OVER THE WORLD. BIG PLACES AND
SMALL PLACES. HARD PLACES TO GET TO AND EASY PLACES TO GET TO.
THAT'S WHAT I'VE DONE. AND I'VE DEALT NOT WITH LITTLE MONKEY
DEVILS, I'VE DEALT WITH PRINCIPALITIES. AND REFORMATION
DEALS WITH PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, HARD PLACE OPERATIONS.
AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH THESE THINGS IN
PRAYER, IN FAITH, AND IN CORRESPONDING ACTION IN THE
EARTH THAT GOES WITH THAT. BUT SOME CHURCHES DON'T KNOW THEY'RE
CONTROLLED BY THE PRINCIPALITY. BECAUSE THE PRINCIPALITY DOESN'T
WANT TO DESTROY THE CHURCH, HE WANTS TO CONTROL THE CHURCH. AND
HE REGULATES ITS AUTHORITY AND THE DEGREE OF ANOINTING THAT IS
ALLOWED TO OPERATE UNHINDERED. AND WHEN YOU GO ACROSS THAT
LINE, WAR COMES SO BAD THAT GUYS PULL BACK TO WHERE IT'S NOT
THERE. AND THEN THEY DEFEND THE RIGHT OF THE PRINCE TO RULE BY
HOW THEY TALK. THEY'LL SAY, WELL, WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO
FIGHT THOSE POWERS. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE IN THE AIR, THE
RIGHT TO BE OVER US. WHAT BIBLE ARE YOU READING, YOU BLIND BAT?
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDS)
JUST ONE VERSE, LUKE 9:1 SAYS, "HE GAVE YOU, JESUS GAVE
THEM POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER ALL DEVILS." ALL DEVILS, ALL
DEVILS, ALL DEVILS, ALL DEVILS. LITTLE ONES, BIG ONES, UGLY
ONES, PRETTY ONES, ALL DEVILS. OH, WE DON'T WANNA DEAL WITH
THAT KIND OF DEVIL 'CAUSE YOU HAVE HIM OR HE HAS YOU. HOW DO
YOU WANNA SAY THAT? MOST OF OUR BIG CITIES HAS FALLEN TO THE
RULE OF PRINCIPALITIES. THE HOPE OF THIS COUNTRY AT THIS MOMENT
IS IN YOUR MEDIUM, SMALL TOWNS WITH THEIR CHURCHES AND THEIR
PEOPLE. AND WE HAVE TO DO MISSIONARY TRIPS TO THE BIG
CITIES IN THIS COUNTRY. LIKE WE GO TO AFRICA, WE GO TO ASIA, WE
HAVE TO START PLANNING TO GO TO BIG CITIES AND DO MISSION TRIPS.
PRAY, PLAN, PAY, AND DON'T DO IT BECAUSE AMERICA HAS BECOME A
MISSION FIELD AND YOU DON'T KNOW IT YET. I WISH THAT WASN'T TRUE.
PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS. YOU SAY, WELL, AND THEY GO OVER TO
DANIEL 10 AND THEY USE THE DANIEL STORY OF FIGHTING WITH
THE KINGS OF PERSIA AND GREECE AND SAY THAT THE ANGELS HAD TO
FIGHT IT AND DANIEL DIDN'T. HAVE YOU READ THE WORD, THE NEW
TESTAMENT? HAVE YOU READ WHAT CHRIST DID AT CALVARY? THE DEATH
AND THE RESURRECTION AND HE DESTROYED AND TOOK BACK ALL
POWER FROM THE DEVIL AND ALL DEMONS, NO MATTER WHAT THEY
WERE. AND THEY ARE POWERLESS IN THAT SENSE. AND JESUS DID
SOMETHING CRAZY. HE GAVE US POWER AFTER WE SCREWED IT UP IN
THE GARDEN. TALK ABOUT TRUST. WE MESSED IT UP SO BAD, HE CAME
BACK AND FIXED IT. AND BEFORE WE WENT AND SAT DOWN, HE GAVE TO US
THAT VICTORY, THAT AUTHORITY, AND THAT POWER, BECAUSE HE STILL
TRUSTS US AND USES US. WARFARE IS NOT GAINING A VICTORY, IT'S
ENFORCING CALVARY'S VICTORY ON A REBEL WHO DON'T OBEY THE
VICTORY. AND MOST CHRISTIANS DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'VE BEEN SET
UP IN VICTORY THROUGH CALVARY. AND THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T WANNA
FIGHT THE DEVIL OR WE DON'T WANNA GET IN THAT PRINCIPALITY
THING, YOU'RE ALREADY IN IT. YOU'RE ALREADY IN IT WHETHER YOU
LIKE IT OR NOT, YOU'RE ALREADY IN IT. YOUR FAITH HAS TO LEARN
TO CONQUER. BUT I'M TELLING YOU, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO RISE UP
QUICKLY BECAUSE THE DEVILS ARE LOSING AND THEY'RE GETTING MAD.
AND WHEN THEY GET REAL MAD, THEY COME INTO THE EARTH IN A RAGING
VIOLENCE AGAINST THE CREATION. AND YOU'RE SEEING THAT WITH THE
SHOOTINGS, YOU'RE SEEING THAT WITH THE RIOTS THAT MAKE NO
SENSE EVEN ON THE OTHER SIDE. SOME OF THIS, WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO LABOR IN THE SPIRIT WITH THE RIGHT KIND OF PRAYER. THE KIND
OF PRAYER THAT I BIRTHED YOUR PASTORS IN MANY YEARS AGO.
THAT'S THE KIND OF PRAYER, NOT THIS LITTLE OOKABOOKABOO
TONGUES. AND THESE LITTLE NICE, OOKADOOKABOO. NO. NO. AND IT'S
NOT JUST FOR THE 3 OLD LADIES THAT ARE KIND OF WEIRD THAT
PRAYS THAT, IT'S FOR EVERYBODY IN THE CHURCH TO DO THAT.
EVERYBODY IN THE CHURCH TO DO THAT. WE'RE IN A REFORMATION AND
WE'RE GOING INTO WAR AND IT IS A BATTLE TO TAKE. I'LL END IT WITH
THIS BIBLICAL EXAMPLE. MOSES CAME AS GOD CAME DOWN IN EXODUS
CHAPTER 2 AND HE HEARD THE GROANING AND THE TRAVAILING OF
THE ISRAELIS UNDER THE EGYPTIAN BONDAGE. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE
CAME DOWN TO SEE IF THE GROAN AND THE TRAVAIL WAS WHAT HE'D
HEARD TO SEE IT. AND HE FOUND THAT IT WAS TRUE. AND HE SAID,
MOSES, A STUTTERING GUY THAT SMELLED LIKE A BUNCH OF SHEEP,
DOES SET HIS PEOPLE FREE. MOSES GOT THEM OUT OF EGYPT, BUT
COULDN'T GET THEM INTO THE PROMISED LAND. MOST OF OUR
CHURCHES, SPIRIT-FILLED CHURCHES, CAN GET YOU SAVED AND
GET YOU BLESSED, BUT CANNOT GET YOU INTO YOUR ETERNAL PURPOSE,
PERSONALLY OR CORPORATELY, AS A NATION OF PEOPLE. THEY LIVE WITH
THE WEAKNESS OF MOSES, SCARED OF YOUR REACTION WHEN HE DEALS WITH
YOUR CARNALITIES. AND FOR 40 YEARS, 40 LONG YEARS, THEY
WANDERED IN THE WILDERNESS OUTSIDE OF GOD'S PLAN OF
GOVERNANCE IN THE PROMISED LAND, THE LAND OF DWELLING THAT FLOWED
WITH MILK AND HONEY. THEY HAD MIRACLES OF MAINTENANCE. HE
MAINTAINED THEM WITH MANNA, MAINTAINED THEM WITH A CLOUD FOR
AIR CONDITIONING AND HEAT, MAINTAINED THEIR CLOTHES,
DEUTERONOMY 29:5 , THAT NEVER WORE OLD FOR 40 YEARS. THEY HAD
MIRACLES, THEY NEVER GOT ANYWHERE, BUT THEY HAD MIRACLES.
THE AMERICAN CHURCH HAS MIRACLES OF THE SAME KIND AND HAS NOT
TAKEN MUCH TERRITORY BECAUSE THEY'RE LIVING OUTSIDE OF THE
CONQUERING. BUT THE DAY OF CONQUERING AND REFORMATION HAS
COME AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE LEADERSHIP STYLES IN THE SPIRIT.
THE NEXT LEADER WAS JOSHUA, A YOUNG MAN THAT HAD SERVED WELL
UNDER THE OLD ANOINTING, THAT HAD KEPT HIS UNDERWEAR ON, KEPT
HIS MOUTH RIGHT, HIS HEART RIGHT, EVEN THOUGH HE SAW THINGS
THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN, HEARD CONVERSATIONS THAT SHOULD HAVE
BEEN DIFFERENT, BUT HE AND AN OLD MAN NAMED CALEB KEPT A GOOD
REPORT, KEPT THE REPORT, "I KNOW WHAT I SAW. "I KNOW THIS HERE'S
NOT THE HEIGHT OR THE BEST." AND MOSES FINISHED HIS LIFE AS A
GREAT MAN, BUT HIS WEAKNESS WAS HE COULD NEVER GET THE PEOPLE
INTO THE LAND OF PROMISE. 'CAUSE HE WOULD NEVER DEAL WITH THE
FLESH, EVEN HIS WIFE. WHEN GOD TOLD MOSES, "CIRCUMCISE YOUR
SON," HE WOULDN'T DO IT. AND HIS WIFE ROSE UP AND CURSED HIM AND
SLAPPED HIM IN OTHER WORDS WITH HER WORDS AND CIRCUMCISED HER
SON AND SAID, "THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE YOURSELF." BAH!
JOSHUA COMES. IT'S 2 THINGS FIRST, BE STRONG AND BE
COURAGEOUS. AND THEN HE SAYS, "PACK YOUR BAGS, BOYS, WE'RE
LEAVING. "THERE'S NO VOTING. "THERE'S NO TIME FOR IT ANYMORE.
"THIS 40 YEARS OF MAINTENANCE IS OVER. "LET THERE BE A COMMAND.
"PACK YOUR BAGS, 3 DAYS WE'RE GOING." THEY WENT INTO THE LAND
OF PROMISE. THEY WERE 40 YEARS LATE. THEY FOUND SQUATTERS WHO
NOW THOUGHT THEY WERE OWNERS. THE AMORITES, CANAANITES, ALL
THE ITES, ITES, ITES, ITES, AND MORE ITES. AND THEY SHOW UP AND
SAY, "THIS IS MY LAND." NO, WE BUILT THE WALL, WE BUILT OUR
HOMES, WE MARRIED OUR WOMEN, WE HAVE OUR BABIES, WE HAVE OUR
GRAND-BABIES, AND THIS IS WHERE WE BELONG. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU
ARE? I KNOW WE'RE LATE, BUT IT'S STILL OURS. AND THAT'S WHAT'S
HAPPENING WITH REFORMATION. WE'VE BEEN ABSENT FROM SOCIETY
SO LONG THAT WHEN WE FINALLY SHOW UP AND GO, WE'RE TIRED OF
SEXUALIZING OUR CHILDREN WITH MOVIES, WE WANT SOME DECENT
MOVIES. WE'RE TIRED OF YOU ABUSING OUR CHILDREN BY TELLING
OUR LITTLE BOYS THEY'RE GIRLS AND THEN GIVING THEM PILLS
BEHIND OUR BACK. AND WE SHOULD GO, NO, THEY GO, WELL, WHO DO
YOU THINK YOU ARE? WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS AND YOU'VE NOT
BEEN HERE. I KNOW WE'RE LATE, BUT WE'RE HERE NOW. AND THIS IS
WHAT IT IS. AND THE REFORMATION IS THE CONFRONTATION. AND WHY
IT'S SO DRAMATIC IS BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN GONE SO LONG AND
WE'RE FINALLY SHOWING UP AND THEY'RE LIKE, "WHO DO YOU THINK
YOU ARE?" AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TELL THEM AND MAKE THEM A
BELIEVER BY NOT BEING PUSHED OUT, SCARED, DRIVEN OFF, BUT
TAKE YOUR FAITH THAT CONQUERS AND ROTS AND STOPS AND TAKE IT
TO WORK. TAKE YOUR PRAYERS OF ENGLISH AND TONGUES AND GO TO
THE HEAVENS AND THE HEART AND MANEUVER THINGS THROUGH PRAYER
AND DO THE RIGHT CORRESPONDING ACTIONS. IT'S NOT GONNA GET
QUIETER. IT'S GONNA GET CRAZY. AND IT'S YOUR FAULT. MY LAST
POINT. MY GRANDPARENTS PRAYED FOR GOD TO SAVE AMERICA. MY
PARENTS, LIKE YOURS, PRAYED FOR GOD TO HELP AMERICA. I, AND YOU
HAVE COME ALONG AND SAW THE WORST DECLINE IN THIS GREAT
COUNTRY OF OURS. AND OUR CRY BECAME MORE INTENSE. HELP! HE
CAME DOWN TO SEE IF IT WAS SO. AND HE SAW THAT IT WAS. AND HE
IS ANSWERING IT NOT WITH REVIVAL OR KUMBAYA REVIVAL SERVICES. HE
HAS DECIDED TO GO AS A REFORMATIONAL SPIRIT INTO THE
EARTH, INTO EVERY MOUNTAIN, EVERY DARK CORNER OF OUR
SOCIETY, FROM THE BIGGEST CITIES TO THE SMALLEST VILLAGES, EVERY
PLACE, HE HAS DECIDED TO GO IN AND REMOVE THE POWERS THAT HAVE
RULED AND DICTATED AND BRING BACK HIS PURPOSE, HIS KNOWLEDGE,
AND SAY, "CHOOSE THIS ONE AND DON'T CHOOSE THAT ONE." AND HE'S
GONNA DO THAT THROUGH YOU AND I. THE REFORMATION IS AFOOT, IT'S
HAPPENING. JUST DON'T GET MAD THAT IT DOESN'T COME ABOUT HOW
YOU PICTURED IT IN YOUR PRAYERFUL TIME AND YOUR
PREFERENCE PICTURES. NOBODY WOULD HAVE PICKED THE ORANGE
MAN. WE LIKE HIM NOW, BUT IT TOOK US A WHILE. NOW IT GOES
BACK UP EVERY 6 WEEKS. DO WE LIKE HIM OR NOT? WE KEEP DOING
ALL THIS. ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE HE'S ANSWERING
YOUR PRAYERS, BUT NOT IN THE WAY THAT YOU PREFERRED, BUT IN THE
WAY THAT YOU THOUGHT. DIANE, I WANT YOU TO TAKE ALL THOSE
PICTURES OF HOW YOU THOUGHT GOD SHOWED YOU THINGS WOULD BE DONE.
NOW, IT'S REALLY THE LORD HOLD ON TO THAT, BUT SORT THROUGH
SOME OF THOSE PICTURES FOR YOUR FAMILY, FOR YOUR CITY, FOR OUR
NATION, 'CAUSE YOU MAY BE CAUGHT OFF, A LITTLE OFFENDED, OR
BOTHERED, OR IT COULD QUIRK YOU IN A WAY, AND YOU WITHDRAW IN
SOME WAY, OR MAYBE THAT'S NOT YOU, BUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST
PROBLEMS IN THE EARLY HOURS OF THE REFORMATION IS KNOWING THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT GOD IS DOING AND WHAT YOU PREFERRED HIM
DOING IT OR HOW YOU WOULD PREFER HIM TO DO IT. I WOULD NOT HAVE
PICKED A NAKED LSD GUY IN CALIFORNIA LADY REVIVAL.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
I WOULD HAVE DONE IT. NO. AT LEAST
HAVE YOUR UNDERWEAR ON, AT LEAST.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
FRIENDS, HE WAS BUTT NAKED WITH 2 OF HIS FRIENDS OUT THERE
TRIPPING AND DANCING, AND JESUS CHOSE HIM. NOT OUR PREFERENCE,
BUT REMEMBER 1 CORINTHIANS 12:18, GOD PUTS EVERYBODY IN THE
BODY AS IT PLEASES HIM, NOT YOU. I HAVE PREFERENCES. I'M NOT
WEARING THE COLOR I LIKE. BROWN IS NOT MY FAVORITE COLOR, BUT I
WORE IT TONIGHT. BLUE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR. SO I COULD SAY,
"BLUE IS OF GOD AND BROWN IS OF THE DEVIL." NOW Y'ALL KNOW
THAT'S WRONG, 'CAUSE IT'S MY PREFERENCE. APPLY THAT SAME
DISCERNMENT OVER WHAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU PRAY AND WHAT YOU SAY,
BECAUSE IT MAY BE A GOOD PREFERENCE, BUT IT MIGHT NOT BE
WHAT GOD'S DOING. I WANTED ANOTHER REAGAN, NOT DONALD
TRUMP. A REAGANESQUE GUY WHOSE HAIR FITS PERFECTLY, WHO WEARS
SUITS WITHOUT THE LONG TIE. REAGAN, A LITTLE MORE GRITTY,
BUT NOT TOO MUCH, BUT REAGANESQUE. WE'RE NOT EVEN
CLOSE TO REAGAN. IF THEY'RE IN THERE, THEY'RE DISTANT COUSINS.
FROM A LONG WAYS OFF. I'M TRYING TO CLOSE, BUT THIS KEEPS COMING
BACK AT ME. OKAY, YOU'RE PROPHETIC PEOPLE, NOW HEAR ME,
AND YOU ARE A PROPHETIC LEADING MINISTRY. YOU'RE NOT JUST A
PROPHETIC MINISTRY, YOU'RE A LEADING PROPHETIC MINISTRY HERE
AND IN THE WORLD. YOUR WORLD DOMINION IS GROWING. NOT JUST
BECAUSE OF THESE CAMERAS, BECAUSE OF YOUR SPIRIT. IT'S THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING POPULAR AND FAMOUS AND HAVING DOMINION
AND TERRITORIAL AUTHORITY. IT'S 2 DIFFERENT WORLDS. SO I BEHOLD
YOU, NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A NICE, BEAUTIFUL NEW BUILDING AND
GREAT TV MINISTRY. I UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT IS AND I APPRECIATE
THAT VERY MUCH. THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M TALKING TO. I'M TALKING TO
WHAT WAS OVER THERE IN THAT LITTLE STOREFRONT SHACK YOU GUYS
WERE IN A LONG TIME AGO THAT WAS DEVELOPING AND GROWING AND
MANEUVERING AND DIDN'T GIVE UP. WHEN EVERYBODY SAID, "GIVE UP,"
'CAUSE THIS DAY WAS COMING AND HE WANTED IT IN OMAHA. OF ALL
PLACES, OMAHA. YOU ALL BETTER BE GLAD HE CHOSE OMAHA. HE COULD BE
STUCK IN A DEAD LITTLE DIPPY SIMMONS OF GOD CHURCH. HE COULD
BE STUCK IN A WORD OF FAITH CHURCH THAT DOESN'T WANNA GO ON,
JUST SIT THERE AND CONFESS FOR 50 YEARS. YOU'RE GONNA BE GLAD
THIS THING SHOWED UP AND UNDERSTAND IT MORE THAN JUST THE
BIGNESS AND THE NICE LIGHTS OUTSIDE. BUT I LIKE THEM TOO,
THE FLAG'S REAL NICE. I DROVE IN THERE, I WAS LIKE, WOW, GOOD
JOB. HE'S GIVEN YOU A DOMINION TO HELP DEFINE TO THE NEXT
GENERATION THE AUTHENTICITY OF PROPHETIC MINISTRY. TO TRAIN THE
NEXT GROUP OF PROPHETS TO BE HEALTHIER THAN THE LAST GROUP
THAT WE'RE SURVIVING RIGHT NOW. THAT'S PART OF YOUR JOB, NOT ALL
OF IT, THAT'S PART OF IT. BE GLAD THAT IT'S HERE. BE THANKFUL
THAT HE CHOSE THIS CITY TO PLACE THIS MINISTRY IN, SO THAT YOU
AND YOUR FAMILY CAN CALL IT YOUR CHURCH, BUT ALSO BE A PART OF A
DOMINION THAT IS TAKING POSTURE IN THE NATION, IN THE WORLD.
DON'T LET YOUR PREFERENCE GROW ANGRY, MAKE YOU GROW ANGRY AT
THINGS. DON'T LET YOUR PREFERENCE CAUSE YOU TO MISS
SOMETHING. OLD PEOPLE, DON'T DIE YET. WE NEED YOUR STABILITY AND
YOUR WISDOM OF YEARS WITH GOD TO BE A PART OF THE STABILIZING
FORCE OF THIS HOUSE AND OF THIS NATION. YOU'RE LIKE CALEB, WHO
IS 80 SOME YEARS OLD, 85 PLUS YEARS OLD, AND GOD SAID, "I'VE
KEPT YOU ALIVE FOR THIS DAY. SOME OF YOU, YOUR SPOUSES HAS
GONE ON AHEAD OF YOU. YOU'LL SEE THEM AGAIN, THEY'RE HAPPY,
THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK. WHEN PEOPLE GET A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN,
SOME TAKE OFF. THEY LOVE YOU, BUT NOT THAT MUCH.
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
IF THEY GET TO SEE HEAVEN, THEY JUST LEAVE. I MEAN, I WOULD, AND
YOU WOULD TOO. DON'T GET MAD. I FEEL THIS IN MY SPIRIT. WHY AM I
HERE? MY HUSBAND'S GONE. MY KIDS ARE ALL BUSY. HEY, THAT'S WHY
YOU'RE HERE. WHITE HAIR AND ALL. SO GET IN HERE AND LIVE.
GET IN HERE AND PUSH. GO FIND YOUR YOUNG TONGUES AND
BRING THEM ALIVE AGAIN. THOSE TONGUES YOU HAD IN THAT
PENTECOSTAL CHURCH WHEN YOU WERE 16, 18 AND RESURRECT
THEM AND SHOW THESE LITTLE WHIPPER-STEPPERS HOW TO PRAY.
BECAUSE ALL THEY DO IS DO BABBLING. THEY DON'T DO
UTTERANCES. I NEED TO QUIT. I CAN'T FIND THE DOOR.
(CONGREGATION CHATTERING)
GOD HAS GOT A SIGNIFICANT RESPONSIBILITY UPON THEM AND
YOU. IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE BECOMING KNOWN. THAT'S A
SIDE PRODUCT OF OBEDIENCE OF THE HIGH CALL. WHEN YOU OBEY THE
HIGH CALL, FAME COMES. WHEN YOU OBEY THE HIGH CALL, FINANCES
COME. BUT YOU CAN'T LET THAT BE THE SIGN THAT MAKES YOU WHAT YOU
ARE. THAT'S A BYPRODUCT. IT'S A BYPRODUCT. OBEY THE LORD. DON'T
LET YOUR PREFERENCES CAUSE YOU TO GET MAD AND LEAVE YOUR PLACE
WHERE GOD PUTS YOU IN THIS CHURCH AND IN THIS GREAT
REFORMATION. SOME OF YOU YOUNG MEN, YOU WANNA OBEY GOD, BUT YOU
ARE NEGOTIATING YOUR CALLING. THE CALL OF GOD IS NEVER
NEGOTIATED, IT'S RECEIVED OR REJECTED. YOU DON'T NEGOTIATE
WITH GOD, YOU ACCEPT IT OR YOU REJECT IT. YOU CAN'T TELL HIM,
I'LL ONLY PASS YOU IF YOU LET ME BE IN DALLAS OR BE IN NEW YORK
OR WHEREVER YOU WANNA BE. HA, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? TO
TALK TO THE CREATOR ABOUT HIS PLAN THROUGHOUT THE AGES THAT
HE'S KNOWN BEFORE YOU WERE BORN AND NOW YOU WANNA REWORK IT?
SHEESH. NO WONDER SOME THINGS ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING
BIRTHED IN THE EARTH WITH THESE ATTITUDES. IN AMERICA, YOU CAN
HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY YOUR FAME AND HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.
BUT THAT'S NOT THIS CHURCH, THAT'S NOT YOU. YOUR PASTORS,
THEIR FAMILY AND THE TEAM, SOMEONE'S BEEN HERE FOR A LONG
TIME, HAVE PAID A PRICE, OTHERS HAVE BEEN ADDED OVER THE YEARS.
NOW, GREAT RESPONSIBILITY HAS COME TO YOU. YOUR PROPHETIC
VOICE MUST BE SHARP. IT MUST NOT WAVER WITH THE FORCES OF
OPPOSITION, CONCERN OR WORRY. YOU CAN'T ALLOW MIXTURE IN IT.
FOR THE ONES THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE US AND JUST THE DECADES
BEHIND US, WE'RE TODAY REAPING THEM ALLOWING THE MIXTURES
INSIDE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVE. ANYTIME YOU MIX THINGS, BRASS
AND GOLD, FIRE AND STRANGE FIRE, THOSE THAT MIX IT AND PERMIT IT
ALWAYS LOSE, MY FRIEND. THEY LOSE. AND SOMETIMES THEY LOSE
FAMILY MEMBERS. THEY LOSE BECAUSE ALL THE WORK OF THE
DEVIL KILLS, STEALS, DESTROYS. THE FIGHT TO KEEP THE STRAINS
FAR OUT WILL BE A FIGHT THAT WE MUST FIGHT UNTIL THE TIME HE
COMES OR WE GO. THE DEVIL DOESN'T WANT TO DESTROY THE
CHURCH. HE WANTS TO MIX IT AND CONTROL IT AND FOOL THE PEOPLE
THAT GOD IS BLESSING WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH MORE. HALLELUJAH.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
LET'S JUST ALL STAND UP FOR A MOMENT AND
JUST PRAY IN TONGUES JUST FOR A MOMENT.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
YOU THERE AT HOME, PRAY WITH US AS WELL. RIGHT THERE IN
YOUR HOME. OR ON YOUR PHONE, PRAY WITH US. JUST
PRAY IN TONGUES OUT LOUD. IF YOU HAVE THAT
LANGUAGE, IF NOT, JUST PRAY THE WORD AS YOU KNOW IT.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
HALLELUJAH. GLORY BE TO GOD FOREVER.
(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
PRAY A LITTLE BIT STRONGER. PRAY A LITTLE BIT STRONGER.
COME ON, JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER.
(PRAYING IN TONGUES)
HALLELUJAH. GLORY BE TO GOD FOREVER. HALLELUJAH. I HAVE TO
CLOSE. I HAVE TO COME BACK SOMETIME AND FINISH. FINISH WITH
YOU. I BELIEVE IN YOU. I BELIEVE IN YOUR PASTORS. AND THERE'S A
NEW SOUND COMING TO YOUR MUSIC DEPARTMENT, FOLKS. IT'S
APOSTOLIC MUSIC, NOT JUST PROPHETIC MUSIC. THEY'LL WORK
TOGETHER. YOU'RE USED TO THE PROPHETIC, BUT THE APOSTOLIC
WILL BE KIND OF NEW. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT KIND
OF SOUND, BUT IT WORKS TOGETHER. 'CAUSE AFTER THAT, THE APOSTLES
HAVE BEEN RESTORED PROPERLY. THEY'LL BECOME THE GREAT
MARRIAGE OF THE 2 . AND THE MUSIC WILL DO PART OF THAT,
AMEN? I LOVE YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. PASTOR. ROBERTS, I WANT YOU TO
STAND OUT HERE WITH US. WE WANT TO HONOR YOU FOR JUST A MOMENT.
THAT WAS A TREMENDOUS WORD FROM GOD. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE
WATCHING, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT. WHAT I WANT
TO DO IS I WANT THAT TO SINK DEEP INTO MY SPIRIT BECAUSE GOD
HAS GIVEN US CLARITY FOR THE HOUR AND THE TIME THAT WE'RE IN.
YOU KNOW, YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. I MEAN, ROBERTS, I WAS THINKING
ABOUT WHEN I'VE SHARED THIS PUBLICLY ON MARCH 15TH OF 2020,
I WAS CAUGHT UP OVER THE EARTH AND I WAS LOOKING AT THE EARTH
AND HOW DARK IT WAS. AND THE AUTHORITATIVE VOICE DECLARED
DIVINE RESETS, DIVINE REVERSALS, AND THEN BEGAN TO DECLARE THAT
THE TIME AND THE HOUR OF THE GREATS OF GOD HAD COME TO THE
EARTH. AND I SAW LIKE A SHAFT OF LIGHT AND IT HIT, IT WENT BAM!
AND IT BEGAN TO HIT OVER AMERICA AND THIS DARKNESS BEGAN TO
DISPERSE. AND I NEVER REALIZED FULLY THAT WHAT GOD WAS SAYING
ABOUT DIVINE RESETS AND REVERSALS, HE WAS SPEAKING
REFORMATION. BUT I REMEMBER BACK IN SOME OF THOSE MCPHERSON,
KANSAS, WICHITA, SALINA, KANSAS DAYS WHEN WE WOULD GO DOWN
THERE. YOU WERE PREACHING ON REFORMATION THAT IT WAS COMING.
AND I REMEMBER SITTING THERE GOING, I'M NOT HEARING ANYBODY
SAY THIS. YOU WERE FORERUNNING IT AT THE TIME. THOSE SERMONS
FIT TODAY. THOSE SERMONS, OH, YES, RIGHT, YOU GOT MY, NO, THEY
FIT, NO, MAKE SURE YOUR MICROPHONE'S ON. THERE YOU GO.
NO, SAY IT BECAUSE THE SERMONS FIT TODAY. AND I THINK, AND I
JUST FEEL AS I'M STANDING NEXT TO YOU, SOME OF THOSE SERMONS
YOU GOTTA BRING BACK OUT AGAIN. I KNOW PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME
THAT. YEAH, NO, REALLY, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT, BUT I'M TELLING YOU,
I FEEL AS I'M STANDING NEXT TO YOU, BECAUSE THEY WERE SEEDS IN
ITS DAY TO UNLOCK WHAT WE'RE WALKING INTO. AND THAT'S WHY
PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY THE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WANNA GET
ON TRUMP. WHY IS HE ONE OF THE MOST ATTACKED INDIVIDUALS?
BECAUSE THINK ABOUT IT, HE CAME OUT WITH A MESSAGE, MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN. DO YOU KNOW THAT MESSAGE IN ITSELF IS
REFORMATION? IT'S TO BRING CHANGE, GOOD CHANGE. BUT HERE'S
WHAT THEY DON'T LIKE. THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT REFORMATION CARRIES,
AND IT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN PREACHING TO YOU, THE GOD
FACTOR. BUT YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT CAME TO ME AS I WAS SITTING
THERE, AND I WAS HEARING YOU AT THE END, YOU WERE BEGINNING TO
APOSTOLICALLY REALLY SET THINGS IN ORDER, EVEN IN THIS CHURCH,
AND I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU FOR OBEYING THAT. BUT EVEN TO
THE EARTH AND TO THE NATION. BUT I WAS SITTING THERE AND I WAS
THINKING TO MYSELF, THE DAYS OF LIKE ORAL ROBERTS UNIVERSITY,
RHEMA, SOME OF THESE MINISTRY SCHOOLS, WHERE'S THE NEW WAVE OF
THAT? IT'S REGIONAL. IT'S REGIONAL. IT'S GOING TO COME OUT
OF CHURCHES LIKE THIS. REGIONAL GOVERNING CHURCHES ARE GOING TO
HAVE THE TRAINING SCHOOLS TO LAUNCH THE MINISTRIES IN THE
FUTURE. I LOVE ORU. I LOVE REMA. I'M PART OF ALL THAT. BUT THIS
IS WHAT'S HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD. IT'S COMING TO THIS
LEVEL, IT'S COMING. SO YOU'RE SEEING THIS, 'CAUSE I WAS
FEELING LIKE PART OF WHAT YOU WERE RELEASING IN THIS HOUSE IS
WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO RAISE UP IS THAT MINISTRY EXPRESSION. I
WANT YOU TO HELP ME TO DO THAT. BUT I WANTED TO, ARE YOU SENSING
THE SAME THING THAT GOD IS GONNA BEGIN TO DO THIS? YOU'RE GONNA
BE A FORERUNNER OF THAT KIND OF, MANY THINGS YOU'LL HELP FORERUN,
BUT THAT SCHOOL, WHEN I WAS THERE THE LAST TIME I SAW IT, I
SAW IT AGAIN TONIGHT. THERE'S A REGIONAL SCHOOL THAT AFFECT THE
WORLD, BUT THERE'LL COME A DAY WHEN FOLKS WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL
ACROSS THE NATION. THEY'LL HAVE TO GO TO THE CHURCH THAT'S IN
THEIR TERRITORY AND GET THE SAME QUALITY OF NATURAL AND SPIRIT
AND BE LAUNCHED, THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING. YOU KNOW, AND I TELL
YOU WHAT HE SAID, THE MISSION FIELD IS GOING INTO SOME OF
THESE CITIES, THAT'S INCREDIBLE. I CAN'T WAIT TO TALK TO YOU FOR
THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. WE'RE GONNA DO SOME FILMING TOMORROW.
BUT WE WANNA HONOR YOU TODAY BECAUSE YOUR BIRTHDAY IS
SATURDAY. AND ROBERTS, I WANNA SAY ONE THING THAT BRENDA AND I
THANK GOD FOR YOU. NOT ONLY DID YOU OBEY GOD, NOT EVEN KNOWING
TO HELP BRING THAT MANTLE AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE'RE
OPERATING IN AND WALKING IN TODAY, YOU HELPED BIRTH IT IN US
THAT PEOPLE ARE PARTAKING OF. AND WE THANK GOD FOR YOU, BUT WE
THANK GOD FOR THE LORD. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ALWAYS
INSPIRED US IS THAT YOU WERE A YOUNG MAN, YOU ARE ABOUT OUR
SAME AGE, YOU'RE A LITTLE OLDER, BUT I WOULD LOOK AT YOU AND I
WOULD SAY, "BRENDA, THERE'S SOMETHING IN HIS CALLING "THAT I
FEEL LIKE WE'RE CALLED TO." SO I WANNA JUST THANK YOU FOR PAVING
THE WAY FOR US. IT HELPED US GET THROUGH A LOT OF DIFFICULT
TIMES, BUT IT ALSO YOU'RE NOT CRAZY. NO, WE'RE NOT CRAZY, NO.
BUT IT HELPED WHEN YOU DO WHAT THEY DO, YOU GO THROUGH THAT
THING, ARE WE NUTS? NO, NO, AND I WOULD HAVE PEOPLE IN THE
CHURCH, THAT'S WHY SOMETIMES I DON'T LIKE THAT OSCAR STATUE,
YOU EVER SEE IT? YEAH, YEAH. WHERE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE
PEOPLE WOULD DO THAT WHEN I WOULD PREACH IN THE EARLY YEARS
AND THEY WOULD JUST STARE ME DOWN AND BE LIKE, WHAT IS WRONG
WITH ME? BUT, YOU KNOW, BRENDA KEPT SAYING, IGNORE IT, AND I
DID AND SO FORTH. BUT WE WANNA HONOR YOU, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY ON
SATURDAY, AND WE WANNA SING TO YOU, AND WE ALSO I WANNA PRAY
SOMETHING. CAN WE PRAY SOMETHING BEFORE WE SING? YOU'RE CARRYING
SOMETHING, GO FOR IT. I FEEL THERE'S SOMETHING GO FOR IT,
BRENDA. WE NEED, STRETCH YOUR HANDS STRETCH YOUR HANDS. FOR
THIS MAN OF GOD. THANK YOU, GOD. AND I DON'T KNOW, THERE'S
SOMETHING THAT THE LORD IS SAYING ABOUT 60. AND THIS 60,
IT'S THE COMPLETION OF 6 DECADES. AND I SEE IT AS IF IT
WERE LIKE THE CREATION OF THE EARTH. AND IN THE 6 DAYS, GOD
CREATED, AND HE CREATED, AND HE CREATED. AND THE LORD SAID,
YOU'VE BEEN CREATING, YOU'VE BEEN MAKING, YOU'VE BEEN
PUSHING, YOU'VE BEEN FORMULATING, AND YOU'VE BEEN A
FORERUNNER. BUT THE LORD SAYS, YOU ARE ABOUT TO COME IN NOW TO
THE SEASON OF THE RESULTS, THE 7TH DAY. YOU ARE ENTERING THE
SEVENTH, AND THE LORD SAYS THAT YOU WILL SEE THE RESULTS OF
THINGS THAT YOU HAVE WAITED FOR, YOU'VE ASKED GOD FOR, BUT THE
LORD SAYS, AND THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU'VE THOUGHT, WELL, MAYBE
I MISSED THAT AREA, BUT THE LORD IS SAYING THIS 7TH DAY, YOU WILL
COME INTO THE RESULTS OF WHAT YOU HAVE BIRTHED AND PUSHED AND
PRESSED, AND THAT WHICH YOU HAVE SPOKEN BY WAY OF THE PROPHETIC
AND THE APOSTOLIC WORDS. SO THE LORD SAYS, GET READY FOR AS YOU
ENTER THE SEVENTH, IT'LL BE RESTFUL, NOT THAT YOU'LL SLOW
DOWN OR STOP, BUT THE LORD SAYS THERE WILL BE A DIVINE REST IN
IT, AND YOU WILL SEE THE RESULTS OF 6 DECADES, AND IT'LL BEGIN TO
COME TO PASS, AND YOU WILL SAY, SAYS THE LORD, THIS GOD IS WHAT
I WAS WAITING FOR, AND THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE THE LORD IS
SAYING OVER YOUR LIFE. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS TOO, ROBYN, 'CAUSE
I'M SEEING SOMETHING. AS MY HAND WAS ON YOUR SHOULDER, I WAS
FEELING SOMETHING IN THE SPIRIT, AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE GETTING
SOMETHING ADDED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE GOVERNMENTAL APOSTOLIC
AUTHORITY THAT YOU'VE BEEN DELEGATED BY JESUS. AND IT HAS
TO DO WITH, BROTHER HAGEN WOULD OFTEN SAY, YOU'RE ENTERING INTO
ANOTHER PHASE OF YOUR MINISTRY. AND THIS REALLY IS WHAT'S
UNLOCKING, IS YOU'RE COMING INTO ANOTHER PHASE. AND EVEN YOU
SAID, GOD, YOU KNOW, I'VE DONE THIS AND I'VE DONE THAT. WHAT
ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? AND ONE OF THE THINGS THE LORD IS
WANTING TO REMIND YOU OF IS THE SCRIPTURE THAT PAUL SAID
CONCERNING TIMOTHY, THE FAITH THAT WAS IN HIS MOTHER AND
GRANDMOTHER, THAT FAITH IS IN YOU. BUT GOD SAYS, NOW THAT
THERE HAS BEEN THE MOTHERING SPIRIT, REALLY WHAT IT WAS IS TO
RAISE UP A MAN, THE MAN, ROBERT LIARDON, WHO SHALL STAND NOW AS
YOU SHIFT INTO YOUR 60S INTO THE FATHERING, ANOINTING AND SPIRIT
THAT HAS BEEN ON YOU, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT BREAK FORTH LIKE
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. IT'S ALMOST LIKE AN ALABASTER BOX IS
BEING BROKEN. ALL THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE, ALL THE THINGS
YOU'VE STUDIED, ALL THAT YOU'VE SPOKEN AND EVEN RESEARCHED IS
NOW GOING TO BE BROKEN OPEN. AND YOU'RE GOING TO COME INTO A
FATHERING DIMENSION AND AN AUTHORITY THAT COMES FROM
HEAVEN. AND HERE'S WHAT THE LORD IS SAYING. THERE'S A DIVINE
ALIGNMENT AND STRATEGIC ORDER THAT IS COMING TO YOU. AND WHAT
IT WILL BE IS THIS, THAT GOD IS GOING TO ALIGN YOU WITH SOME OF
WHAT YOU PROPHESIED TO BRENDA AND I, THAT YOU WOULD RUN WITH
THE GENERALS OF THE EARTH. YOU HAVE, YOU'VE DONE IT, BUT GOD
SAYS, "THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE REFORMERS "THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED
UP, THE GENERALS OF THE EARTH." YOU'RE GONNA LINK ARMS. AND SO
THE LORD SAYS, "BE WISE ABOUT YOUR TRAVEL, "BE WISE ABOUT YOUR
CONNECTIONS, "BECAUSE I'M NOT CONNECTING YOU TO EVERYONE."
THERE IS A NEW DIMENSION OF THOSE THAT ARE GONNA STAND NEXT
TO YOU, VERY POWERFUL MEN, VERY POWERFUL WOMEN, STRATEGIC
PEOPLE. AND THE LORD SAID, "THEY'RE GONNA BE OLDER.
"THEY'RE GONNA BE OUR AGE. "THEY'RE GONNA BE PART OF THE
DECADES "OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, "THE '50S AND THE '60S
AND THE '70S." AND GOD SAYS IT'S TO HELP TO MENTOR THE YOUNGER
GENERATION THAT IS COMING. AND THE LORD SAYS, "YOU'RE GONNA
WATCH "HOW YOUR SCHEDULE'S GONNA SHIFT." AND IT'S GONNA ALMOST BE
LIKE WHAT WAS WITH SAMUEL, WHERE HE WAS GIVEN LIKE THE CIRCUIT
CITIES, THERE WERE STRATEGIC REGIONS AND CITIES AND THINGS
AND ALIGNMENTS AND ASSIGNMENTS THAT GOD'S GONNA SEND YOU TO,
THAT YOUR WHOLE SCHEDULE'S GONNA BE SHIFTED, IT'S GONNA CHANGE.
YOU WATCH HOW THIS HAPPENS. AND THE LAST THING THAT I SEE THE
LORD SAYING, "SON, IT'S TIME FOR ME TO BLESS YOU WITH
STATE-OF-THE-ART TELEVISION AND STUDIO EQUIPMENT, BECAUSE I WANT
YOU TO HAVE OTHERS, EVEN A STAFF THAT I'LL SEND, I'LL PAY FOR IT,
I'LL PROVIDE IT, BECAUSE I WANT TO CAPTURE NOW, NOT JUST IN
WRITTEN FORM, WHAT I SPOKE TO YOU YEARS AGO, REGARDING
GENERALS, REGARDING RAISING UP AND MENTORING AND TRAINING, I
WANT THE SIGHT AND THE SOUND NOW. AND SO I'M GOING TO DO WHAT
I DID WHEN ELIJAH DECLARED AN ANOINTING IN A ROOM. I WANT TO
CREATE A ROOM, A PLACE, A RAISING UP AND A PASSING NOW
FORWARD OF A RESPONSIBILITY, OF A TRANSITION THAT YOU WILL DO
MORE IN A STUDIO SETTING TO CAPTURE WHAT I'VE PLACED IN YOU.
THANK YOU, LORD. AMEN. HALLELUJAH. COME ON, GIVE GOD A
PRAISE. ALL RIGHT, DON'T GO AWAY. LET'S ALL SING. CAN WE

BIRTHDAY TO YOU. AMEN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU GUYS, APPRECIATE
IT. WELL, WE'RE GONNA BE TAPING TOMORROW WITH HIM. ROBERTS, ARE
YOU DOING BOOKS OR WHAT ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT? ARE YOU? I DON'T,
WHATEVER, I CAN FIND BOOKS OR WHATEVER.

TONIGHT AS WELL. ONLINE, IF YOU'RE THERE, JOIN US. USHERS
ARE GONNA SERVE YOU QUICKLY AND GO OUT TO THE BOOK TABLE, WIPE
OUT ALL OF THE MATERIAL. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY, I TOLD PASTOR
MATT WHILE WE'RE SITTING ON THE FRONT ROW, I SAID, WHEN HE
MENTIONED KENNETH HAGIN'S BOOKS, I SAID, I THINK I READ 'EM ALL.
HE GOES, ALL OF 'EM? I GO, WELL, HE HAD A LOT, BUT I DID WRITE,
AND I STILL HAVE THE WHOLE, PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE LIBRARY. I
MIGHT BE MISSING ONE, I DON'T KNOW. BUT I SAID, BUT THAT'S HOW
I GOT TO KNOW THE WORD, IS I'D READ BOOKS OF SOMEBODY AND I'D
LEARN THE WORD. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU, GO OUT AND GET ALL THE
MATERIAL. GUEST SPEAKER IS THE WAY TO GIVE. YOU'LL SEE UNDER
THERE, GUEST SPEAKER, THERE'S A FUND FOR THAT, OR WRITE IT ON
YOUR ENVELOPE, AND GO OUT AND GET ALL THE MATERIAL. WASN'T
THIS AMAZING TONIGHT? WOW. SOMETIMES WE NEED THESE, I CALL
IT LIKE THIS, LIKE ASSIGNMENT-DRIVEN MESSAGES. THEY
DRIVE US TO AN ASSIGNMENT, NOT JUST AN EXISTENCE. AND THAT'S
WHAT I DON'T WANT. I DON'T WANT TO JUST BE ONLY THE
PROMISE-DRIVEN CHRISTIAN. I WANT TO BE DRIVEN TO WHAT IS MY
ASSIGNMENT IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AND FOR MANY OF US, IT
REALLY IS PRAYER. I MEAN, IT'S SERVING, IT'S BEING INVOLVED,
IT'S DISCIPLING, IT'S ALL THE THINGS THAT WE DO, AND IT'S
BEING INVOLVED IN THE CULTURE. BUT DID YOU NOTICE TONIGHT THE
EMPHASIS ON THE PRAYER PART OF IT? WOW, WE GOT TO STEP IT UP,
DON'T WE? AND IT'S ONE THING ABOUT US HERE AND ALL OF OUR
E-MEMBERS, YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO PRAY AND GET RESULTS. AND BOY,
AMERICA NEEDS IT RIGHT NOW. AND THAT'S WHY I THINK THERE IS SUCH
AN EMPHASIS ON THE NATION, 'CAUSE OUR ASSIGNMENT HAS
SHIFTED. IT'S SHIFTED TO SAVE A COUNTRY SO THAT THE GOSPEL CAN
BE PREACHED AND GO ALL OVER THE WORLD. SO, ALL RIGHT, WELL, WHEN
YOU HAVE YOUR GIVING READY, USHERS, START WORKING YOUR WAY
DOWN THE AISLES. AND I'M NOT EVEN GONNA PRAY OVER IT. WE'RE
JUST GONNA FINISH UP FOR TONIGHT SO YOU CAN GET HOME AND GET YOUR
KITTIES AND SEE IF THE YOUTH HAVE GONE CRAZY DOWN THERE. I
DON'T KNOW, BUT AMEN. OKAY, WELL, LOVE ON SOMEBODY ONCE
YOU'VE GIVEN, MAKE YOUR WAY OUT, GO TO THE BOOK TABLE, GRAB ALL
THE THINGS, AND WE WILL SEE YOU GUYS ON SUNDAY. ENJOY THE GOOD
WEATHER, AMEN, GET OUTSIDE, AMEN. ALL RIGHT, WE LOVE YOU,
GOD BLESS YOU, INTERNET. WE'LL SEE YOU SUNDAY, BYE-BYE.
