When Push Comes To Prayer (3)

Foreign.

I'm going to preach a sermon. I'm going to try. This is just kind of a whole bunch of ramblings and thoughts. We are doing a series in the book of. Thank you.

Who's reading the Book of Acts? Because we're doing this. Three people. All right. How many people have a Bible?

How many read their Bible? Please read the Book of Acts? Read where we are right now. Read what? The Spirit is speaking to us as a congregation.

So we changed the name of the series to Drench just because I wanted to trick you into thinking we'd moved on to something fresh. But we are on something fresh every single week. But we are talking about the purpose of God for us. We're talking about the eternal purpose of the church. And you see, God's purpose is not to get you to heaven.

God's purpose is to get heaven to you and then through you, to let heaven fill every single thing you can see and touch. That's God's purpose. Purpose. So you're gonna go to heaven. But that's not the purpose.

That's a byproduct of the relationship. But more beautiful than all that is. I'm not waiting for God's best. I live in God's best right now.

I'm not waiting for something better. See, that is a problem. Because people think that heaven's better than earth. Won't it be great when we get to heaven? I'm telling you, that's never been God's intention.

God's intention was that heaven and earth, that the very same flora, the same existence, the same culture, the same presence. That's why Jesus pray like this on earth as it is in.

Was Jesus pulling your leg or just. Wouldn't that be nice? That's the absolute truth. That's the purpose of God. That the earth would be filled with the glory of God, which is glory on earth.

Holy, holy, holy. Lord God Almighty, the earth full of his glory. That's the purpose of God. And that's not in the sweet by and by. That's not when he finally gets us out of this mess.

And then he can destroy all those nasty people and then we can drop back into a lovely paradise. That's not what it's about. You can have paradise now. You can have heaven now. And you see, we have a responsibility to manifest heaven now.

Because that's how God's going to change this world. Through a beautiful, loving manifestation of a congregation of groups of people that are manifesting the beautiful love of God. All the nature of God and all the power of God. People will be smitten by that manifestation, and they'll turn their lives to Jesus. Whoa.

That's what it's all about. And the church is. The church is a place where heaven and earth intersect. The church is a place where people go walking. That's what heaven's like.

The church is a place where people live in that kind of union. Community and love and kindness and grace. Amen. So we talked about the book Acts. The community was formed.

The fire of God came. Whenever fire came, God identified. This is where I live. This is where I am. Whenever fire came, he denoted.

This is where my presence is. His spirit fell. Then the spirit of God came upon him. And thank God they didn't stay in the upper room. Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.

They fell out of the upper room. They fell into the streets. And everybody 3000F said, what's going on? And the fire of God hit Peter. And Peter began to preach and declare God's word.

And 3,000 people came to Jesus that day. It says 3,000 people were added to the church. What were they added to? The church? The church.

You see? You see, there is a community. We have a birthplace. We are from somewhere. We have an origin from the heart of God.

We are the family of God. They moved out. They began to declare things. They had a message. It was the grace of God, the goodness of God.

The kingdom of God is here. The message was, his kingdom is here. There is a king, There is a kingdom, and there is a realm. And that realm has come, and it's here. And I embody a revelation of the king of glory.

The kingdom is within reach, and you can be a part of it. Everyone is good news. You can live in God's presence right now. Everything is restored. Glory to God.

The community met some resistance. They went out. They're going for the hour of prayer. They healed a guy who had been lame for 40 years. And it was, whoa, what an amazing miracle.

Everybody knew that guy. And when they saw him healed, they said, that is remarkable. And when he was healed, the leaders came and they took them aside and said, hey, you got to stop doing that. But they couldn't do really anything. They couldn't argue with him because right there beside them was evidence.

What evidence? The healed guy said so. They're like, well, I don't know what to say. I mean, look at that guy's healed. What are we going to do about that?

The people freak out. We tell him, stop healing people. Stop restoring people's lives. What you did to that broken man is just wrong. Stop doing that.

So they said, we can't really do that. So. So they came back, they said, hey, stop using the name of Jesus. Stop using the name of Jesus. And they went.

They were so excited that they got persecuted for using the name. When's the last time you got rebuked for using the name of Jesus? Because when you say in the name of Jesus, heaven stands at attention. The resources of God are loosed into that situation. In the name of Jesus, all the force of heaven comes into manifestation where you are.

Settle down. Except for Glenn. Glen's got his own small group coming up out of say Amen. While the pastor's preaching, I need you all to join it. All right, so thank you.

We got a convert already. Hallelujah. All right, so the church met resistance, we meet resistance. You know, the church runs into resistance today, but we gotta stand up and be strong. So when the church reigned into resistance, what do they do?

It says when push comes to shove, the church prays when push comes to prayer. And that's what we do, we pray. Say pray. Do you guys pray? We have a prayer meeting at 7 o' clock every Friday on Zoom.

I'm gonna move it to 6 o' clock and I'm gonna be there for two hours. Cause some people tell me that I'm gone to work. Well before that. I can't do it. So I'm gonna start at six, open the prayer meeting at six.

And if you can come, you can go. If you wanna come at seven, whatever. I can do a little teaching at seven, but we're gonna start at six and work early. And I say I can't join the Zoom. I'm gonna do it at six just for you.

And if somebody says six is too late, I'm gone by five. Who's gone by five? And you need it to be five. All right, I'm gonna do it just for Ken, because he goes at 5. Ken and Eric are just jumping.

I just. Folks, we've gotta pray. Folks, we have to pray. We have to be a praying church. And I tell you, there's resistance in the world today to the kingdom of God.

But I tell you, prayer opens doors that can only be opened by prayer. And we gotta be a praying church. Well, this church prayed, actually. I. Chapter 4, 24.

So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God in one accord. When they were said, stop it, don't do it, we threaten you. Stop it. When they were threatened, what did they do? They prayed.

And what I love is when they prayed, they said, father, the stuff that we did and they don't want us to do anymore. We want to do that stuff. We want to do more of that stuff. They didn't say, oh, Father, protect us from these people. It didn't say that.

They said the very thing that's annoying them. Give us a richer anointed to do more of that.

I'll make my own noise. Hallelujah. So the one accord, they lifted up their voice, they prayed. First thing they did, magnified God. Amen.

Great are you Lord? Did you know that all the earth is going to declare that? Did you know that every dry bone is going to rise up? Every tribe, every tongue, every person is going to say, great. Are you Lord?

Isn't that great? And we're prophesying it. What are we saying? We're not singing a song again in church. Singing a song again in church.

Singing a song again in church. Singing a song. I'm prophesying. I am declaring. I'm commanding thrones and dominions to be shattered and broken.

I am warring in the heavenly realm. Great Are you Lord? All the earth will sing. All the earth will declare. Great Are you man.

Why am I doing this? Why am I singing? Why am I doing that? Because I am changing the very atmosphere in our city. I'm shifting and I'm aligning the things of God in this realm.

And it's a big stinking deal. When the church gets together to worship. Whoa. They magnify the Lord. They reframe their threats.

What do these people think they're doing? I mean, why do they reign? Why do they rage and plot in vain? I mean, it's just stupid. Why do they even open their mouths against us, Lord?

Nothing can come against us. So they reframe their threats. Don't ever be intimidated. Don't ever reframe that. Subject to God's word, subject to the testimony subject.

Then they put it said, put a demand on boldness. It said, now, Lord, grant to your servants that with all boldness say boldness, say, all boldness, say boldness say, oh, bold. I don't want a little bit of boldness. I want all boldness. Whatever boldness there is, God, baptize me, smear me, pickle me, saturate me with fire from on high in Jesus name.

Hallelujah. Acts chapter 4 29:30 said, Grant your servants that we may speak with all boldness. What we want to, what do we want to do? What do I want boldness for? I want Boldness to speak your word.

And when I speak your word, as I speak your word by. It's amazing that the speaking of the word is accompanied by stretching forth your hand to heal. I want to speak by stretching forth your hand to heal and that signs and wonders may be done through your holy servant, Jesus. So I want boldness for what? I want boldness to declare.

I want boldness to lose health and restoration in people's lives. I want boldness to manifest evidence out of heaven peculiar things that take place that people go, oh, my God. Oh, my God. I want to be able to stand in the public place with the evidence of the lame healed, the broken, set free, lives transformed. And when people say, hey, hey, over there, enough of that.

I'm going to say, what are you talking about? So you don't appreciate that people are getting set free, delivered, healed, and all of those fine things. I mean, come on. Thank you very much. You're welcome.

Thank you for listening.

Teamwork makes the dream work. Amen. So who wants all boldness to just start to declare? Who wants. Who wants God to embody you with a gift of healing that liberates and frees?

Who wants to be like Peter, where you're just going to Walmart and your shadow starts killing people? And people are like, what happened? You walk by, you know, somebody had this growth in the side of their head, and all of a sudden you go, excuse me, how much is the bacon over there? They fall out, goiter falls off, they jump up. You're going, I'm gonna get some bacon.

This person's running around the place.

Well, that's great. Four bucks for bacon. That's awesome. I mean, I literally am a fountain of healing. I radiate divine health.

Everywhere I go, people's lives get better because I am a living container of the glory of God. Hey, hey. And that's true. It's absolutely true. Well, I'm not seeing it in my life.

Well, stay steadfast because you're going to. Don't give up your grip on it because it's going to come to pass. Be patient, endure, because you're going to see it. God wouldn't tell you to do it. He wouldn't.

He wouldn't have these guys pray like that if God didn't want to answer that prayer. Hallelujah. Shout hallelujah at your neighbor. Just give it to them. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Stretch out your hand to heal and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant, Jesus. Corrie 10 Boom. I shared this with you earlier but I love this quote. It's there's no panic in heaven.

There's only plans. No matter what's going on in the world or what's happened in your world or your life, there's no panic in heaven. Heaven's not gone. Oh my God. What are we gonna do now?

Corrie Tenman went through horrible circumstances but in those situations, you knew what she always later focus on. God has a plan. And God has plans for you and his plans for you. To give you hope and a future. To bless you, to prosper you and to move in and through you and transform the world.

A.W. tozer, a seemingly very conservative gentleman, you know, alliance preacher, but boy, he said this. He said a Christian is a holy rebel loose in the world with access to the throne of God. And Satan never knows from which direction he will come. I mean, you are a holy ghost terrorist setting people free, going hardcore against the kingdom of darkness.

Loose people from the bonds of sin and shame and pain. Loosing the kingdom of God everywhere you go. All right, praise the Lord. Let's quietly go through the rest of the sermon. So Bill Johnson said, I'm not impressed with anyone's life unless they have intentions, integrity.

But I'm not happy with their life unless they're dangerous. And I don't mean you're a bad driver. I mean literally, you are dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. When you walk into the room, everything changes. Not when he does, but when you do.

Because the same anointing as Mark prayed, the same breath, the same spirit raised Christ from the dead, dwells in you. And thank you Mark for that, by the way. That was good. But that same breath is in you. You got, you carry.

You are packing. Not a lesser anointing, but the anointing that Jesus walked in. When you look at what Jesus did, you look how he moved. He was a living, breathing example of what man can do under the anointing of the Holy Ghost. And he did that to manifest for us.

But I am happy with that. I'm not happy unless they're dangerous as much as I have the ability to do so. I'm not going to let those around me to get away with just being nice people. Amen. I mean, you should be nice people.

Amen. Is there a nice person beside you? But we don't want only nice people. It's better when the power of God flows through nice people. It's annoying when it flows through not so nice people.

But I found out that God doesn't care who he uses. He just wants to express himself. Sometimes he uses donkeys. No, I mean real donkeys. Amen.

Thank you, Darrell. Amen. Amen. Amen. But he wants to work through you.

So what boldness. What boldness do we want? Number one? We want boldness to speak. We want boldness to speak your word.

That's what they asked for. And if the early church at their time, if the early church, when they were birthing the revelation of church and loosing the kingdom of the earth, if they prayed like this, we need to pray too. If they prayed like this, we need to pray too. Yeah, we do. Come on.

All right. So they prayed that they would speak the word with boldness. Chapter 8. If you go all through the book Acts, because you're reading it with me this month, because you're so excited about it, everywhere you go you'll find out that it over and over and over again, in every chapter you're going to see things like the word of God. Prosperity.

The word of God went forth mightily. Acts, chapter 8, verse 4. They went about preaching the glad tidings. The word of God. They went teaching the gospel.

They didn't go around teaching Leviticus. If you're going to plant a field, you cannot plant potatoes alongside cucumbers. That wasn't the word they were preaching. They were preaching the good word that Jesus has come, the kingdom has come. The way and the access to God is wide open.

Good news, kingdom of heaven is within your reach. That was what they preached. They preached the Good news. Acts 13:44. The entire city gathered to hear the worship team.

The entire city gathered to hear. Sadly, whole cities gather right now to hear worship teams. It's very interesting, you know, but it says there, the whole city gathered to hear the word of God. It says the cities were turned upside down by the word of God. Isn't it going to be good?

Because in London's whole, this whole city, do you see it? This whole city is going to be turned on its head and we're going to fill whatever they call it now. It's not the Budweiser center. What is it? It's Canada Life.

That's a prophetic word in itself. It's now Canada Life Center. Canada Life. Canada Life.

I'll wait.

But do you see that place flooded? Not just Sunday, but every week. They're saying we can't play hockey anymore. We can't get these crazy worshipers out of here. They're hearing the Word of God everywhere they go.

That happened in the Welsh Revival. They cancelled the soccer matches because the soccer teams met for prayer. And then they had to come up and say, sorry, guys, no soccer game today. Two teams met for prayer. The Holy Spirit fell, and they would rather hang out with Jesus and play soccer for you.

That happened, and I don't think we should have. Wasn't it great then? I think it should always be better now. I think that whatever God is doing because of the increase of his government and peace, there's no end. Amen.

Amen. Amen. I just gotta tell you, I played in a worship band when I was younger. I did. And.

Hannah? Hannah, are you here? Is Hannah here? Hannah, Right? Wave your hand one more time.

People weren't. Look. See that lady back there? Now, Hannah, we really did. We played in a rock and roll band when we were in our early 20s.

Right, Hannah? Is that true? Yes. And she's here. She's here all the way from Nova Scotia just to testify that I sang and played in a rock band.

Wasn't much of a rock band. We had a couple of gigs. Played in a few church conventions and stuff like that. But just wanted to share with you that I'm pretty awesome. All right.

Okay. All right. I had to get another job, but that's okay. Amen. So the entire city gathered to hear the word of God.

They went out bearing testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be performed by their hands. The word was always accompanied by amazing evidence. Acts 19:20. Thus the word of the Lord grew, it spread, it intensified, and it prevailed mightily. See, when you pray, God, give us bold to preach your word.

It's going to go forth in power, in authority. It's going to transform, it's going to break open. It's going to cause the world to shift and cause cities to be turned upside down. Pause and drink to that. Amen.

Cheers.

Hallelujah. 2nd Corinthians 5:20 says, we are Christ's ambassadors and God is using us to speak. God is using us to speak. We urge you as though Christ himself were pleading through you. Be reconciled to God.

That's who we are to you are. That's what's going on. Number two. Boldness to release healing. Boldness to release healing.

Acts three, six and seven. We have what I have, I give you. I love that. Because Peter said, it's not about silver and gold. I tell you, that's not what you need.

What you need right now is you need arms and legs. So what you need. He was praying for arms. He needed legs. Boom.

I mean, and Peter says, what I have, I give you. What did Peter have? He said, I got something that I'm gonna give. You see freely you've received. Freely give.

You've got something. There's something in you. When you see brokenness and you're confronted with brokenness, you've got something to give away. When you see people in bondage, you have a legal responsibility to loose the kingdom of heaven, to heal them. What do you got?

What do you got? You got everything, Peter, you got the same spirit, the same revelation, you got the same everything that Peter had. And you can operate in that power every day of your life. Do I need to take the course? No.

It says, these signs shall follow them that believe. Are you a believer? Are you a believer? Are you a believer? These signs shall follow them that believe they'll lay their hands on the sick and they shall recover.

Hello, are you a believer? Are you using your hands? Awesome. It's going to transform the world immediately. He was healed.

Then you look. They prayed in Acts 4. What comes after four? You're brilliant. You're brilliant.

Acts chapter 5:16. Also, the multitude gathered from all the surrounding cities around Jerusalem, all around Ontario. They started coming from everywhere. They gathered around, they came to London, they pressed their way in from all the surrounding cities. They're bringing their sick and bringing tormented people and they were all healed.

Can you see that? Can you see that? Can you see that? Oh, I tell you, I'm longing for it. I'm pushing through, I'm declaring it, I'm screaming and I'm preaching it.

I'm praying it at six o' clock on Friday mornings with all you that are going to join me. I believe you, Pastor. I believe you.

First thing you have to do is you have to set your alarm. Alarm. All right? So do that right now. Get your phone up, set your alarm, say I'll meet you at six o'.

Clock. All right? Come on.

Boldness number three. They said, give us boldness for signs and wonders. Acts chapter 5, verse 12. And though the hands of those apostles, many signs and wonders were done among the people. Acts 8:6.

The crowds gathered. Philip went out and preached. And the crowds gathered till they listened eagerly to what Philip said. Hearing and seeing, hearing and seeing, hearing and seeing, hearing. And it's not enough just to hear, we gotta see.

That's why we pray for people every time. That's where there's prayer at this altar, in every meeting. That's why we're praying for you, because we want to loose what we're talking about in your life. People get healed, touched, restored words, revelations, many signs and wonders. They were hearing and seeing all that he did.

Acts, chapter 14, verse 3. Therefore, he stayed there a long time. He got persecuted, he got. He got shut down, he got kicked out, he got beaten, he got stoned. And here's what Paul did, did.

He stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord who was bearing witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders done by their hands. Hello. Well, it was really good in the book of Acts, but right now the church sucks, you know, so back then it was good and it had to be good because they were just starting out, so they needed a little boost. But the church now, we don't need that stuff. We got the Bible.

Come to my church and hear us talk about the Bible. It's so good. So good, so good. My life's a mess. My life is broken.

I'm in total pain. Does that Bible say any good stuff about my life? Where it could shift? Where light could enter my darkness, where I could be transformed? Or is it just a whole bunch of rules for me to follow?

Are you giving me a whole bunch of moralistic lists that I could. I could be a better person if you do this. You know what? You know the beautiful thing? We sang that song.

I'm not perfect because of what I've done. I didn't earn the favor of God. What we have, we got freely and we're supposed to freely give it away way. Amen. Please come and hear the Word.

The word is so important. But the word that does not have evidence with it. Jesus himself. You go read it. You go read it.

In John chapter 10, Jesus said, if I speak and there's no signs of my Father don't listen to me. So what he's saying is my word has no value if there's no evidence. And so if we don't a massive priority of evidence, we're doing a huge disservice to the purpose of God. Can I get an Amen from the back row?

From the back row. Oh, thank you. Strong back row, strong back row. Amen. Amen.

Romans 15, 18 and 19. I'm going to move along quickly. The sign says you are going to self implode in five minutes. All right. Romans 15, 18 and 19.

They were convinced. Here's Paul. Paul said, I went everywhere and I preached and they were convinced by the power of miraculous signs. What were they convinced by? My eloquent speaking.

In fact, many people said Paul was a rotten Preacher. It says it right in the Bible. Paul says he wasn't eloquent, but it says they were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders and by the power of God's spirit. In this way. In what way?

With signs and wonders. With ridiculous powerful evidence. In this way I have fully presented the good news of Christ from Jerusalem all the way to illyquirium. So Paul said, everywhere I went, I didn't just talk about Jesus. I manifest his presence and his power.

Hello. So we gotta pray for boldness. Boldness to speak, boldness to heal. Boldness for signs and wonders. Stephen.

I love Stephen. Stephen was one of the deacons. We're going to talk about him in a few weeks. But Stephen was called to be a deacon to help out with the affairs. He was a deacon.

He was serving tables, he was doing things. But it says this in verse 8 of chapter 6. Stephen was full of grace and power and he did great wonders and signs. So it wasn't just the apostles. People said it was only apostles when the apostles died.

There's no more miracles. Well, Stephen was a deacon. Are there any deacons here today? The deacons were going out there. Philip was a deacon.

He went out and had a revival in Samaria. Stephen was a deacon. He's doing signs and wonders. And then he preached the whole sermon. Then he finished the sermon with you stiff necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears.

You are forever opposing the Holy Spirit. He spoke to the religious leaders of the day. The pastors of the city gathered. And Stephen, just a punk kid, he stood up and he said, you, you are like your forefathers. You killed all the prophets, you killed Jesus.

You are stiff necked and always resisting the Holy Spirit. And they took him out and had a rock concert. They stoned him. And they were professional stoners. They knew how to get somebody stoned.

And there was Stephen. And Stephen as they're there, you know, he says, look, heaven is open. Look at Jesus. He's standing. No, Jesus is seated at the right hand.

No, he's standing. He's given Stephen a standing ovation saying, good for you keep kid. Good for you. The reason I wanted to pray for everybody under 35 is because all of these people were probably in their early twenties. All the disciples were teenagers probably when Jesus called them.

And I tell you, this is a movement of young people. And we got to let the young people loose. We got to let them loose. You stiff neck people. Supernatural.

The supernatural is written in our DNA. Your DNA. Look at Your DNA. The supernatural natural is written in your DNA. You've been born again.

Born from above. It is unnatural for us not to hunger for the impossible to be in constant manifestation in our lives. I know. I read that several times when I typed it. I said, I hope I'm clear.

It's impossible. It is unnatural. It is unnatural to a child of God. It's unnatural to who you are as a child of the Father. It is unnatural for you not to have an incredible hunger for the impossible circumstances around you.

To bow to the king of king kings. It is unnatural for you not to have a hunger for that every single day that today, Father, use me. Let's make the impossible just bow at your feet. Let's make circumstances that people are stuck in and they say this will never change. Let's change the unchangeable.

Let's cause your glory to be seen everywhere we go. It's written in your DNA. Saturday, Yesterday. Yesterday. The Wall Street Journal yesterday it said more than one third of students now say using violence to stop a campus speech can be acceptable.

This was yesterday in the Wall Street Journal. More than one third of students now say using violence to stop a campus speech can be acceptable. The Wall Street Journal said this should set off alarm bells in every nation's classroom, every faculty lounge and every dean's office. Folks, we live in a pretty screwed up world and I don't like to get political. But I'm going to tell you something.

The church is governmental. The church is governmental and I don't want to get political. It's not about political parties, it's not about democracy because we are in a theocracy. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And I am part of a government that does not mix with the government of the world.

But our government supersedes who we are. And what's happening in this church today is more important than what's going on in any other governmental structure that is man made. What's happening here can change the world. And in fact, if the world has ever been changed, it's always happened with generally a person and a group of people, a congregation of people who came under the lordship of Christ, who let his purpose be manifest in and through them in a day and in an age. And you got Princeton, you got Harvard, you got Cambridge, you got Western University here.

These were all started as seminaries. They were all started as Bible colleges. That's why they exist. They've turned into higher learning places of liberal arts and much, much nonsense and rubbish. Right now 3% of the profs and faculty in Harvard, 3% are conservative, and less than that are Christian.

These places that were raised up and were built for people, men and women, to be taught the words of Christ and to take the gospel to the nations of the world have become cesspools of nonsense, cesspools of rubbish, literally, where doctrines of demons are being taught over and over and over again to kids. How did we turn the corner so fast to their pastor? Wasn't that a wild little turn? I'm disturbed today, and I'm not a. I've never been a big fan. I'm not a fan or a big fan of Charlie Kirk one way or another.

It has nothing to do with that for me. I know many people who were, and many are. And what I do love about Charlie Kirk is one thing he said very, very often was, it's all about Jesus. It's all about Jesus. So I never, ever saw Charlie as a political operative.

I saw him as a young man who did not like what he's seeing, as a young man in his own high school, in college campuses. And he said, I just want to go to campuses and have conversations with people. I just want to talk to people about why they believe what they believe, and I want to share with them what I believe. But above everything, he was a Christian. And when you've got one third of college campus students believing that it's okay, use violence to shut somebody up who doesn't talk like you, That's a problem.

That's a problem. Why are you doing this, Pastor? I hate it when we do it because we are in this world. We are not of it, but we have a responsibility to speak to it, and we respond. And you know what?

We're not here to fight, and we're not here to argue. And I'm not here to bicker, and I don't bicker with anybody. I love freedom. And everybody should be free to have their own opinions. But you know what?

They should own their opinions. And sometimes somebody needs to tell them your opinion, stupid. Anyways, my opinion is, your opinion's weird. But just because I say your opinion's weird doesn't mean that you get to hate me or I get to hate you. But I'll tell you something.

The love of Jesus wins in every circumstance. The kindness of God wins always. And if you're gonna speak for Jesus, please don't be mean. Don't be cruel. Will, don't be opinionated, and don't be bossy and stubborn.

They better feel the love of Jesus. If you're going to open your mouth in any kind of way, I got to move on. But in that, listen prophetically to what I'm saying. Listen prophetically to what I'm saying about the time we live in. And this isn't going to take long, but I want it to impact you.

I want you to hear this. James 5, 7, 8 says, Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. I believe the Lord is coming, and I believe it's swifter than you know. And I believe that there's going to be a move of God released in the earth that's going to move quick. It's going to have incredible evidence and incredible power.

And the reason I'm preaching this is because I'm trying to sow seeds in your heart and life to begin to expect that you're going to be surprised one day when you have the courage to pray for somebody and they are instantly healed. And it is going to happen. And I'm preaching this because I want you to overcome the ugly contrast of I never see results. I still want you to press through. I want you to press through because there's going to come a day when you're going to see God.

God's going to pay attention to your prayers, he's going to pay attention to your words, and you're going to see an incredible move of God. And it's going to happen so fast, it's going to touch the hearts of men's and women. And we're going to have authority to speak to kings and speak to dominions and speak to powers. And we're going to say, war is over in the name of Jesus and people who resist that. We're going to see God do incredible things.

We're going to see the powers and the things that are worked behind these demonic strongholds, behind these struggles. We're going to see them canceled, torn down, and broken in the name of Jesus. Therefore, be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until he receives the early and the latter rains. Now, they were an agricultural culture, so they spoke to each other in agricultural terms.

We're not. All of us, we're not. I haven't planted anything in forever. But you see, they understood the former rains and the latter rains. And they said, be patient because there is a season coming.

There's a time coming when we're going to bear fruit. And he says, it's going to be amazing because the Rains that were poured out to get the soil ready for sowing. Those rains are going to come again. Not only are they going to come, but the latter rain that prepares the harvest to be reaped. They're going to come, and we're going to see the seed sowing rain and the harvest rain.

And they're going to overlap each other, and they're going to come together, and you're going to see where the plowman overtakes the reaper. And with one hand you're going to sow, and with the other hand you're going to reap. And there's going to be an instant, powerful demonstration of the glory of God. Hear the word of the Lord. This is what James said.

Patient, be patient, because it will happen. The earth will receive the early and the latter rain together. You be patient. Establish your heart. Heart.

The coming of the Lord is at hand. There is something stirring right now in the earth. And the early rains are pouring and the latter rains are pouring. And we're going to start to see an acceleration of harvest. And we're going to see a breakthrough like you've never seen before.

I don't care who I'm talking to. I prophesy. I prophesy to the spirits of the air. I prophesy to the spirits over this city back down in the name of Jesus, because we're coming through. True.

We're going to release what God is doing in our day, and it's a big, big deal. The Lord has spoken. The lion roared. And who will not fear the Lord has spoken. And who can but prophesy?

Do you hear the voice of God? Do you hear the voice of God says in Hosea? Hosea says, after two days he will revive us. On the third day, he will rise us up that we can live in his presence. Two days.

God moves in generations. A thousand years is a day, as a day is a thousand years. It was four days up until the cross. We've had two days since the cross. 4,000 years.

2,000 years. We have now stepped into the seventh year, and after two days, he will revive us. On the third day, he's gonna come and his presence is gonna be with us in power. And we are living in a third day and the third day. All the good stuff happened in the third day.

He was raised in the third day. Day. He turned the water into them, and the third day they crossed over. We are living in the third day of our dispensation. We are living right now in the beginning of the most power Move powerful move of God the world has ever seen, says the Lord your God.

I'll say it to you prophetically, that you are right now stepping into that day where he has not only quickened us, but he's going to come and his very presence is going to be powerfully in our midst. And this is where we are. The next verse says, let us know. Let us know. Let us become acquainted with this.

Please, please know what time it is. Know who you are. Know what God wants to do with you. Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning.

Just like the sun comes up every day, this word will prevail and it will come to pass. It is established as the morning is. He will come to us like rain. How he will come with the latter rain and the former rain to the earth. We're going to see both those seasons accelerate and move upon us.

I feel the rain I feel the rain falling down on me I feel the rain I feel the rain falling down on me. The former and the latter rain together. I'm not talking about the weather. The Holy Ghost rain. The Holy Ghost rain is falling down on me that's an old song we used to sing.

I feel the rain, I feel the rain I feel the falling down on me I feel the rain, I feel the rain I feel it falling down on me it's the former and the latter rain together. I'm not talking about the weather it's the Holy Ghost rain is falling down on me how many remember that song? How many remember that song? I'm telling you, folks, get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready. All right, I gotta wrap it up.

I gotta wrap it up. Joel 2:23. Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down upon you. The former rain and the latter rain. As in the first month, we're gonna get both those rains together.

There's gonna be the rains that cause the seed to go forth in power, but the rains that cause the harvest to come into manifest. What does that mean? What does that mean? Here it is. You ready?

Right here. Here it is. Here it is. And look at that. I'm done.

Last screen. Pay attention. Last screen. In the last days, the church can experience both the power of Pentecost and of harvest, which is tabernacles. Tabernacles.

The anointing of Pentecostal tabernacles. At the same time. What we read about in acts, that outpouring, that outpouring. They're jealous of us because we're going to live in a day where that outpouring and the harvest outpouring, tabernacles. The last thing to be fulfilled on God's calendar is feast of tabernacles.

And we're living in the front end of that right now. And we're gonna experience the former, on a latter rain together. You're gonna experience. What does that mean? A double outpouring.

What does that mean? That means more souls saved, more miracles, more signs. It means a global move of God.

Come on, stand on your feet. Stand on your feet. Stand on your feet. Stand on your feet. Get ready.

Get ready. Get ready. Ready.

Jesus.

Jesus, Jesus. Jesus.

And I insist on all of it. I command sickness to go, brokenness to go, all manner of it to go. In the name of Jesus, I declare right now, body, soul and spirit, we are redeemed, sanctified, set apart in our right minds, right body, right spirit, every realm.

I pray, Lord, that you would attend to this word. Not for my sake, but for your sake. In the name of Jesus, I pray that we would see evidence Lord, that blessing is upon the city of London. And I command it to be so. I command it to be clear and I command the evidence to be dramatic.

And I command it to be so. In Jesus name. For our sake, Lord. For our sake. Father, we pray as they prayed.

Father. Father, grant us all boldness that we may speak your word by your hand going forth to heal the sick and by signs and wonders being done by your holy servant Jesus. And we command it to be so. In Jesus name, amen.
