  3. speakers all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast

  4. finds you any good ship and now here's your message.

  5. We have been with Pattri Mark and Jeanette him in

  6. and it's awesome to be with them and awesome to

  7. be with.

  8. You this morning, and we're excited about what God's doing

  9. all over America.

  10. I am in Jennifer and I've been traveling and we're

  11. going to share lots of stories over the next couple

  12. of days, and we're just really honored and excited to

  13. be here with you guys today.

  14. We have been surchainty, examining our hearts to see what

  15. the Lord might say fresh in this house.

  16. And now I, like we said, are traveling full time

  17. since the beginning of the year, and we just are

  18. going all over the country where the Lord leeds, but

  19. particularly we feel drawn to Kentucky.

  20. Jennifer and I were both born and raised in Kentucky.

  21. She was raised in Northern Kentucky. I was raised over

  22. in Richmond in Madison.

  23. County, and when I was a boy growing up my grandmother,

  24. My grandfather and grandmother a pastor in the church here

  25. in Somerset, and when I was a boy, we would

  26. always come to Somerset for Thanksgiving and we would spend

  27. time with them.

  28. And tomorrow we're going to track down that old house.

  29. I'll even remember where it was, but I will find

  30. that out.

  31. And we came here many times as kids to celebrate

  32. Thanksgiving right here in Somerset. I've got a family that

  33. live around Somerset. A brother lived out in between Albany

  34. and Bertville, right there on the Planning County line. And

  35. then also I have a nephew and a niece who

  36. have their children in the Christian.

  37. School right here.

  38. So even though we've never met, we're really pretty close

  39. to home.

  40. So we're glad to be here, and.

  41. We're excited to be here with Pastor and Jeanette and

  42. all of you, looking forward to the night and just

  43. tomorrow night, and just really believing that the Lord's going

  44. to meet with us in a really pretty incredible and

  45. remarkable way this morning. I really want to just share

  46. with you my heart. As Pastor said a moment ago,

  47. it's easy. Jennifer and I pastored for nearly thirty years.

  48. We've traveled for years.

  49. When we were younger, we traveled for about eight years

  50. full time. And I understand the rigors of the pastor

  51. I understand the challenges of the ministry. I've celebrated the

  52. remarkable high places, and yet I understand the length of

  53. the low.

  54. Places and challenge. But God is.

  55. Doing some amazing things all over the nation, and we're

  56. looking forward over the next little bit to share some

  57. of those stories and many of those things with you.

  58. God's really been moving in New Mexico, which is a

  59. place that would have never really imagined.

  60. I mean, you don't think come New Mexico very much.

  61. But we went there and the revival broke out among

  62. high school students. We had fifty or sixty gets saved

  63. on one night of revival.

  64. And those kids immediately begin to.

  65. Go to their schools and interact their schools with the testimony.

  66. Of Jesus in their hearts. And it really was amazing

  67. until suddenly this whole little.

  68. Town of New Mexico, it's called Truth or Consequences, this

  69. little town just begin to be an uproar about what

  70. God was doing. In about a hundred high school students

  71. and so much so the principal, the superintendent of the school,

  72. ultimately the police chiefs was called in to see what

  73. was happening with these kids.

  74. Luckily, when the police chief came in.

  75. He knew that about a half nearly a half of

  76. these kids were already in the juvenile system, and many

  77. of them were all already under probation wearing ankle bracelets.

  78. So the police chiefs knew all of these kids really well.

  79. He comes in and interviews these kids to try to

  80. figure out what in the world.

  81. Is happening to you all. He came out of there

  82. giving a.

  83. Witness to the pastor and to the parents that he

  84. knew these kids. He arrested many of these kids. He's

  85. the one who put the ankle bracelets on them. And

  86. he stood before them and I said, I don't know

  87. what's happened to these kids, but these kids are not

  88. the same as they were before. So I just said that.

  89. So the police he end, I'm telling the pastor, whatever

  90. you're doing, keep on doing it, because New Mexico needs

  91. a move of God among.

  92. Our young people. And I begin to say, you know what, America.

  93. Needs a move of God among every generation of people.

  94. And then and so we are seeing and I'm not

  95. going to try to do it all this morning, for

  96. which you'll be really glad.

  97. I'm not going to try to do it all this morning,

  98. but I want.

  99. To share with you many exciting stories that I believe

  100. will inspire heart.

  101. Also, I know that.

  102. There are other leaders from Kentucky that will be joining

  103. us tonight or tomorrow night in these services as well.

  104. Part of the reason why in this season that Jennifer

  105. and I specifically fill a call to Kentucky, it's because

  106. I really believe that the awakening that God is bringing

  107. to America may very well begin in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

  108. I love that the gotation, I love that the Lord's

  109. statement revival is broken out in San Diego and then Rito,

  110. Nevada and many other places across the land.

  111. There are fires burning.

  112. All over this nation of people that are crying out

  113. in humility for the fire of His Holiness to be

  114. manifest in our lives.

  115. But there's something about.

  116. What God is doing in Kentucky that is unusual, and

  117. it's unlike anything we've seen across the country. And we

  118. are contending that God might burn something in the heart

  119. of Kentucky that would be so so inspiring and so

  120. used of God, that indeed the whole nation might begin.

  121. To turn back to the Lord to what God is

  122. doing in the great capital of Kentucky. Aven If God

  123. we're going to bring awakening too revival.

  124. To America, And if God we're going to birth it

  125. somewhere as he always does, why not Somerset? Why not

  126. right here? Why not not? And so we've just been

  127. examining our heart. We've been preparing our heart. We've been

  128. asking the Lord and entreating of you know, God, what

  129. would you say to what would you say to this congregation?

  130. What would you say to Somerset in these three services?

  131. What stories should we tell? What inspiring word could we give?

  132. What measure of hope could we release for these people, for.

  133. This city, for this region. And so I really begin

  134. to examine my heart and begin to read in my journal, write.

  135. In my journal, reflect before the Lord is to what

  136. he was saying. And one of the things that I'm

  137. so excited about.

  138. Being here for I know that Pastor.

  139. Mark and Jeanette and this congregation has probably done more

  140. intentionally and strategically to infuse the spirit of prayer into

  141. the state of Kentucky than any other ministry that I'm

  142. aware of.

  143. Hello, one of the things that we know that.

  144. Often precedes great outpourings is the overflow of prayer and

  145. of seeking the heart of God and through the Kentucky

  146. Prayer Focus and many other things strategically that your pastor

  147. is doing to lead the state of Kentucky.

  148. I'm just like it would not be unlike God at all.

  149. To visit first in great power the place that is

  150. prioritized prayer.

  151. In our lives.

  152. So in these moments together, I want to share with

  153. you from my heart.

  154. I want to share with you from my study. I

  155. want to share with you.

  156. From the diligence that I've tried to do to prepare

  157. for this time together.

  158. Because history is marked by great ben and women, and great.

  159. Voices of new and women that we need to hear

  160. about in these days.

  161. One of my favorite people in.

  162. All of history would certainly be the story of John Wickliffe.

  163. I love the story of John Wickliffe in his day.

  164. In his day, he had a radical idea. His idea

  165. was is that the common people should have access to

  166. the Holy Bibles. He believes strongly that if you were

  167. to put the Bible in the hands of ordinary being

  168. and women. This the whole world would indeed be changed.

  169. John Wickcliffe lived out his life. John Wickliffe did amazing

  170. work and diligence in his life to make sure that

  171. the Bible was prescribed and written in a.

  172. Common language, which was not easy for his.

  173. Time, because in his day there was no common language.

  174. There were many dialects and many different languages that people spoke.

  175. There was no common language. But it would be John

  176. Wickliffe and a man by the name of Jeffrey Chaucer,

  177. the author of the Canterbury Tales, who together they would

  178. begin to take this dialect and this one, and they

  179. begin to blend them together into the dialect of the Midlands.

  180. And they ultimately ended up creating a brand new language

  181. that would be used.

  182. To transcribe the Bible into and put the Bible into

  183. the hands of common ordinary men and women's. Little did

  184. they know that the language that they were developing would

  185. be the greatest liberty loving language of the earth, and

  186. that is the language of English. And they put the

  187. Bible there. John Wickliffe lived a rich and wonderful and

  188. he was buried in a little church yard in Lulworth, England.

  189. He had been buried for nearly one hundred years, but

  190. the governmental structure and even the church of its day

  191. still was.

  192. Threatened by John Wickliffe, and so they decided that actually,

  193. the Catholic Church said, we can no longer tolerate John

  194. Wickliffe preaching from his grave. So they had decided that

  195. they were going to take his body up, and so

  196. they did. What they did not realize was about a

  197. few years before he died. About twenty years before Wickliff died,

  198. he ended up given kind of a prophetic word for

  199. his own life.

  200. He was unsure of what the end of his life.

  201. Would be like, and he said, listen, if they burned

  202. my body and crushed my bones.

  203. To an ash and scuttered my scatter my ashes to

  204. the sea.

  205. Then my life's work will be like the Bible, and

  206. it will be scattered on the streams of the water

  207. to the outhermost corners of the earth. John Wickliff died.

  208. He was buried for nearly one hundred years, and the

  209. Catholic Church decided they were tired of his preaching. So

  210. they sit months at night with staves and shovels and lanterns.

  211. They go to his grave side.

  212. They were tired of people visiting the grave and chipping

  213. off a stone from his headstone, carrying it back to

  214. their villages and saying, I've got a piece of the

  215. grave of John Whickley.

  216. So they dug him up.

  217. It took his body after one hundred years nearly, and

  218. they took his body, and what remained of it they

  219. burned to a chris.

  220. What remained is a Christ they crushed to a powder.

  221. They took the powder and they scattered into the little

  222. crest behind the Laverne Church. The little string carries it

  223. to the savern, and the suvern carries it to the sea,

  224. and the sea scatters and ashes to the ends of

  225. the earth. And the life and the destiny of a

  226. man impacts the.

  227. World by making the.

  228. Book that you and I are so often they've forgrded

  229. available for every.

  230. Common man now in many languages of the earth.

  231. Go with me this morning, and I just kind of

  232. share with you the thought that the Lord has put

  233. on my heart for this time, for this moment together.

  234. If I had, if I had to labor, entitle the

  235. message this morning that God gave to me for this house,

  236. for this moment, it would be a political requeel or

  237. a spiritual revolution.

  238. It's her title.

  239. We are living in a culture. We're living in a

  240. time where people, some are saying it's time for a requiel.

  241. A rec reem is a fancy word for a funeral.

  242. A rec realm is a place where they would come

  243. and through some celebratory spiritual service. Remember what once was,

  244. but it's gone forever. There are those in America who

  245. believe it's time to hold a political requiem over biblical

  246. Christianity in America. But I just want to remind you

  247. this morning that one man's requiem is another man's revival.

  248. I just want to remind you.

  249. That one man's requiem is another man's work.

  250. And so the Lord begin to conspire my heart with

  251. those farse And so when I put together this morning,

  252. for this morning, are five guiding principles to America's great awakening.

  253. And as I say that, I know that the scope

  254. of it may sound large, But may I remind you

  255. that God thout history have always chosen to do mighty

  256. words in little places. God has always chosen to ignite

  257. a flame, release a wind upon an ember, to produce

  258. the spark in a place, and in a time when

  259. others may not have chosen or suspected that time at all.

  260. So this morning we're gonna look.

  261. Are we at the edge of a political requiem or

  262. a spiritual revolution?

  263. And we're gonna look at it through these five principles.

  264. Tonight we're gonna begin to tell more stories, to share

  265. other things with you.

  266. So here's where we begin this morning.

  267. And part of this I've got to read, because the

  268. spirit of the Lord, just being the poor, some of this.

  269. Into me, and I begin to write it down. And

  270. may I say that never before, anywhere, anytime have I.

  271. Brought the message to you, that I brought this message

  272. to anyone else.

  273. This is it.

  274. And I say that only to say what God wants

  275. to do in this place. I believe it's very fresh,

  276. it's very new. God has set kentucking in his sights

  277. for a mighty move of the Spirit of God.

  278. And we have labored and prayed for Somerset.

  279. We've got history, legacy, ruths family in.

  280. This area, and we cry out for God to move mightily.

  281. Here's where the.

  282. Lord begin to inspire us. Hear these words. I don't

  283. know how they're inspiration, although be to you, but.

  284. In my own heart. This is where I'm at. The

  285. Lord begin the minister to me.

  286. As I wrote, the subtle embrace of Night has cast

  287. her shaddle across the bow of the young.

  288. Handmaiden of liberty.

  289. Knight's luring embrace seems to have seduced our nation further

  290. into an abyss.

  291. Of compromise and chaos.

  292. The brilliant hope of the nations and the grand experiment

  293. of self governance seems to be reeling to and fro

  294. from the weight of her confusion.

  295. And the told of her compromise. America, it seems to

  296. us and to the world.

  297. America seems to be staggering like a drunken fool, from

  298. compromised values, confusing in it unsustainable standards, and a glamorization

  299. of chaos. Where is the leadership compelled by vision for

  300. America's future that is truly worthy of her good paths?

  301. Where are the champions of mercy? Where are the heralds

  302. of brotherly love? Where are those as fathers and mothers

  303. who have gone before us? Where are those who will

  304. lay down their lives for a cause greater than ourselves.

  305. The history of this.

  306. Nation, as every other nation, is marked in our destiny

  307. by those who have gone before us, and those who

  308. have gone before us have paid a great price to

  309. bring the nation into the expression and the experience that

  310. we inherited as a generation. What will we do with

  311. this grand experiment? What will we do with this grand encounter?

  312. What will we do for the cause of Christ in America?

  313. Where are the voices that will cut upstream and begin

  314. to say, there's a better way America. And if America

  315. will humble ourselves. The Bible says, if my people will

  316. humble themselves and pray and seek my face, then will

  317. I hear from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and

  318. I will heal their land.

  319. Goddmnd that.

  320. The question is not whether or not PAD will be

  321. faithful to hear them, But where are the leaders?

  322. Where are the men and women?

  323. Where are the commoners that have a voice on the

  324. end sight of them that God is.

  325. About to release in this generation.

  326. God has used ordinary people throughout the history of time.

  327. Martin Luther, Yes, the father of the Great Reformation, who

  328. nailed the ninety five theces on the doors of Vittenburgh,

  329. This man who next year, in twenty seventeen, we will

  330. celebrate the five hundredth anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, and

  331. it really is remarkable. But before Martin Luther was ever famous,

  332. Martin Luther was a little boy living in abject poverty,

  333. who would go through the neighborhood seeming because of the

  334. malnutrition in his body.

  335. And the poverty of his family. His own father could

  336. not afford to.

  337. Feed him, and his own mother was brutal to him.

  338. Martin Luther as a boy became known as the young.

  339. Man and the choir who had a remarkable in her.

  340. Voice, and yet his life was sickly, the cause of

  341. the poverty and the poor nutrition. Martin Lutherer, before he

  342. became a great reformer, was known as the little boy

  343. who would go through the village and he would knock

  344. on the doors of the homes, and then he would step.

  345. Back early in the morning and he would begin to

  346. sing to them a beautiful.

  347. Him or a melody if you will, and they would

  348. listen from the home, and he would beg them for

  349. his breakfast.

  350. Martin Luther was the little boy who sang for his breakfast.

  351. It was not until he sang at the home of

  352. the cause that missus Kata.

  353. She immediately recognized the voice of the young man, and

  354. she'd begin to say, I recognize that voice. She throws

  355. open the back door. She feeds him a breakfast. He

  356. said he had never eaten so much food it one time.

  357. He didn't know it was possible to have such a

  358. breakfast as that.

  359. He ate And she loved him, and.

  360. She nurtured him, and she prayed with him, and she

  361. guided him, and she helped him, and she fed him

  362. all the days of his life. And this little boy

  363. who grew up as the poor boy who sang for

  364. his breakfast.

  365. Would become a man that God would use to spark

  366. the greatest reformation the world has ever seen.

  367. Sometimes we have just talented ourselves to sue. Sometimes we

  368. say blind, poor, I'm from here, I don't have I'm sickly,

  369. I'm not the right color, i don't have the right mind.

  370. I don't And somehow God is not looking. God is

  371. not looking.

  372. For the one that may always be picked out first.

  373. It maybe that there's somebody in this church that.

  374. In your heart God has birthed something inside of you.

  375. You're carrying something that the world is wrong.

  376. To receive.

  377. Me.

  378. I know it's crazy, but it's true.

  379. One other that I Love is the story of a

  380. lady from the eighteen fifties. Google her, not when I'm preaching,

  381. because I can see you google her, and.

  382. I won't be able to know when you have found her.

  383. But she was an African American lady. I've got a

  384. book about this thick home that tells.

  385. The story of her life and the servants that she

  386. would preach.

  387. She was an African American woman. And not only that,

  388. she was a preacher. Oh my God. And she stood

  389. against slavery, and she stood for women's rights. And she

  390. would stand and preach. Many times when she.

  391. Would preach, the clergy in the room would stand and

  392. hiss at her. She had no right to preach. She

  393. was not even ordained. Can you imagine such a thing

  394. she cared about another that they begin to say and

  395. nobody will come.

  396. Hear her preach. The problem was everywhere she.

  397. Went, from Akron, Ohio, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, presidents and kings

  398. and noblemen begin to show up to hear this woman preach.

  399. One night she preached in Philadelphia, the old hall was

  400. completely packed.

  401. People were standing everywhere. Every seat had been taken. Early,

  402. people were outside.

  403. Everybody had come to hear her preach. I want to

  404. read to you a quote from her sermon.

  405. You'll get a little bit of the idea of this lady.

  406. But she was strong, she.

  407. Was courageous, She was an African American woman, She was beautiful,

  408. and she had a voice for her generation. History seldom

  409. records those who played that safe.

  410. God and the woman whose name was so turner truth

  411. never was known for Plaget's sake. She was in the

  412. Philadelphia Hall and she decided she was going to preach

  413. a sermon one night entitled Ain't I a woman? Forty

  414. good thot? I like it? She gets up there, and

  415. the moment.

  416. She begins to take the platform, the clergy begin to

  417. stand up and protest. A few times, they even begin

  418. to elevate their voices so that she couldnt be hurt.

  419. She was intimidated by none of it. Here's what she

  420. said in her servants. She said, then that little man

  421. in that black.

  422. Shoe, he says women can't be can't have as much

  423. right as a man.

  424. Because Christ wasn't a woman.

  425. She said, then listen to she said, where did Christ

  426. come from?

  427. She repeated it, Where did? She said?

  428. I ask you again, Christ come from? She then said,

  429. he came from God.

  430. And a woman. Man had nothing to do. Man had

  431. nothing to do.

  432. Can you imagine standing in Philadelphia in the time in

  433. our nation's history that looks a radically different than our own,

  434. and yet she stood there and she said man had

  435. nothing to do with him. She said, it's the first

  436. woman God ever made was.

  437. Able to turn the world upside down alone.

  438. Then then she said, these women should be able to

  439. turn the world right back.

  440. Up again and get it right. And then she said,

  441. and now they is I skime to do it? Now?

  442. If I were the men.

  443. In this room, I would find my seat and let

  444. them wow.

  445. And every woman, whether if she admitted or not, going,

  446. whoa I like this woman?

  447. Look at her picture and you won't like her anymore

  448. even more. And what's really cool is at the end

  449. of that sermon, you know what she did.

  450. She went on for an iron a high talking about

  451. ain't I a woman? I do this, I plow afield,

  452. I do this.

  453. She went through the whole thing, and at the end

  454. of it, know what she did. She took her arms

  455. and she raised them up like this. She pulled her

  456. sleeves to her shoulder, and she raised her arms up.

  457. But she did this, and she flexed.

  458. Her biceps, and the biceps.

  459. Of her arms were the larger than to the NBA.

  460. And you're like, that's how it's heated, Ain't old woman?

  461. America is To say it acrossroads is an understatement.

  462. It used to be the revival was important.

  463. Revival has now become imperative. Starts looking for men and

  464. women who will not with violence, safe of future, but

  465. with their hearts and their surrendered lives and their committed spirits.

  466. Begin to say, you know what, it's time that we awaken.

  467. It's time that we arise.

  468. It's time that we become a church, a people, a

  469. nation that fulfills the destiny that God has given to

  470. this remarkable place. Whether there's the Lord beginning, I begin

  471. to write the moorings.

  472. Rhetoric in America had.

  473. Given way to the victory all of a loss and

  474. a strange generation. We are lost both the security of

  475. foundational principles and the sales of fundamental disciplines to keep.

  476. Us from crashing upon some distant shoal.

  477. Are we witnessing a political requiem from biblical Christianity in America?

  478. Or could it be that the bewildering season of our

  479. great compromise in chaos upon the American landscape today is

  480. increasingly becoming the platform.

  481. For America's greatest awakening. And I want to say to

  482. you this morning, it's not time for the requiem. It's

  483. not time for the funeral. It's not time for you

  484. to give up. It's not time for you to quit.

  485. It's not time for you to throw in the towel.

  486. It's not time for.

  487. You to lay down the armor.

  488. But rather, it is the time the surrendered hearts and

  489. humbled lives. We cry out for the simplicity and the

  490. glory of God to come and transform us into beating

  491. the people that we should be. He should compel us

  492. to become what He's called us to become. In the

  493. last few months, the Lord's really been tricking my heart

  494. the amazing story of Hoseiah in the Bible.

  495. And I'm not going to go through this morning.

  496. We may talk about us some more this week because

  497. it's gripping my heart.

  498. Listen to me, the magnificent radical love.

  499. Of God that he demonstrated through Conseiah and Gomer is

  500. the most amazing picture to me of what God is

  501. wanting to.

  502. Do in our day is any I know of.

  503. Joseiah was a firebrand. He was a young prophetic voice

  504. in his generation, in a generation of resurging prophet. Was Joseiah,

  505. a single man who had arisen with fire in his

  506. heart and eloquency on his tongue. And he was shaking

  507. the heart of the Israeli people, of the nation of Israel.

  508. And in that time he.

  509. Was a single man, and he had been praying for.

  510. A wife, prayer of every Unian name's part. And he

  511. was utterly amazed when God came to him one day.

  512. He said, listen to me, I picked that a wife

  513. for you. And he told her his name. He told

  514. him her name, said, her name is Gomer.

  515. Well, Joseah, I mean the neighbor is not pretty.

  516. Hey, look you can change you. Then, but jose said, come,

  517. words was the most beautiful woman in all the land.

  518. And so God said, I picked her for you, and Hosea,

  519. I was thrilled. But then God said, but I've got

  520. a secret to tell you, and that is her heart

  521. is wayward. She will never be faithful to you, she

  522. will be anything. And so God called Joseah to take

  523. on a life of quorums that he might demonstrate his

  524. own love to the people, is to his people who

  525. had turned their mouths and become wayward on you.

  526. We see it in the story. I'm not going to

  527. tell the whole story. I'm already said that once. And

  528. now have with her. We see her becoming faithous.

  529. She bears j jose have three children, each of them

  530. God's names, and he names the Jewelren based on the

  531. prophetic detriment of the nation. Gomer was never faithous jose

  532. She lived a deboshed, wicked life. It was amazing. We

  533. never read in the Bible one time, not one time,

  534. for Josea's heart ever fell out of love with Goldr

  535. even to the point where when she was old and

  536. her body was wrapped, she had been with thousands of men.

  537. And found joy in none of her.

  538. And she was being drug one day to the city square.

  539. Gomer now an old woman whose life was used up

  540. and spent and left over and rejected, and she was sickly,

  541. and she was miserable, And if you study the story,

  542. it's an amazing story.

  543. And she approached the auction.

  544. Slave block in such shame that the auctioneer even ordered

  545. that she'd be stripped naked before she's put upon the

  546. platform to be auctioned off.

  547. So here stands Gomer naked in the public.

  548. Square, an old woman who's lived her life her way.

  549. But it's brought her to a horrible end, and she's

  550. studying it and the people are laughing.

  551. The Great Andrew Murray wrote a story about this, experiencing

  552. the heart with such drama.

  553. And you can see it. She's game in there, and.

  554. Her head is hanging limp on her own chest, and

  555. she knows, and everybody else knows among the chuckles, who

  556. would have been for her.

  557. She ended up.

  558. Bringing maybe a quarter of what the worst of the

  559. common slaves would have brought in her day.

  560. Auctioneer was really surprised that anyone would bed at all.

  561. But as she stood there with her head hanging limp,

  562. he opens up the biddy, and surely not he hears

  563. her voice begin to bed.

  564. There's only one person that been for her, and everybody

  565. turned to see who was, and it was It was

  566. a little old man, a straw Saint Joseiah, who had decided.

  567. To buy back the bride of his youth. He stood there.

  568. He had raised the kids alone, man, and he lived

  569. life alone. Man.

  570. His love and his hart never one time flickered for

  571. this woman.

  572. The moment he had the chance to buy her back,

  573. he bid and heat ball he come, and he took

  574. his cloak and he wrapped it around her, and he

  575. covered her nakedness, and he told her, you're going.

  576. Home with me, not to be my slave. We're gonna

  577. get you cleaned up. You're gonna be my wife. You're

  578. gonna be my bride. God is restoring the family. And

  579. it's an amazing picture. It's an amazing And.

  580. At the end of that story, all beginning to say,

  581. and he Injosea, chapter twelve, in verse twelve, he begins to.

  582. Say, God begins to say, here's what, Here's what. Here's

  583. what jose said. Hose said, plow up the follow ground.

  584. Listen to me.

  585. Fallow ground is not moruling this ground. Fallow ground is

  586. that ground in our lives that used to produce fruit.

  587. But the field have been that abandoned and unattended.

  588. So Joseah said to the people of God, power up

  589. the follow ground. Plow it up, man, drop the plow

  590. deep into the soil.

  591. Begin to turn it over. Power up, he says, your

  592. follow ground. And then he said because it's time to

  593. see the Lord, said Hooseo was.

  594. Saying, Prepare your heart, Prepare your heart, Prepare your heart, because.

  595. God is coming again to.

  596. Sow the fresh seed of renewal and revival and awakening

  597. in America, and in my heart it's not ready.

  598. When the seed is sown, the seed.

  599. Will fall upon the hard heart like it would upon

  600. a hard land, and the seed will.

  601. Roll off when the when the, when.

  602. The copious rains come, the seed cannot take root. But

  603. jose said, plowed up, plowed up, plow up. Can I

  604. say to you, God is plowing.

  605. Up some ground in our lives. God's plowing up some

  606. ground in our families. God's plowing on some ground. Man,

  607. listen to me.

  608. I say to you, it's not time for America's funeral.

  609. I say to you, it's not time for a requiel.

  610. I say it's time for a revolution of the fire

  611. of God. I say it's time for a revival to

  612. come to America. I say it's God, love of God,

  613. to lay the plow to the root of my heart

  614. and make the soil soft again. So when the seed

  615. is sown and the rains.

  616. Come, the seed will saturated.

  617. Deep into our lives, and we will never read the same. Listen,

  618. I've got to close this morning. I know my time

  619. is closed.

  620. Listen to me.

  621. I said, break up the follow ground, prepare your heart, wife,

  622. because he said it's time to seek the Lord.

  623. He said, it's time to seek the Lord. It's time.

  624. Has there been a.

  625. Time in your life it seemed more critical for America

  626. than now?

  627. And really and truly, at the end of Tuesday.

  628. I have law celebrate the things over, But without God,

  629. where is our hope?

  630. Lies night didn't tell you about what is it? Lie?

  631. Maybe the words of Hoseiah are reminding us of the

  632. love of the Father, and maybe the love of the

  633. Father is being manifest. Maybe the Father is showing us

  634. his heart that he might reveal his holiness, and he's

  635. going to reveal his holiness that we might receive the

  636. greatest hears the world or seen. Time to see the

  637. Lord said, Why, he said, it's time to see the Lord.

  638. Till the righteousness of God rain upon the man. We're

  639. working hard. We're traveling everywhere, we're going going. Man, we're

  640. pulling out all the stops because this is the time

  641. of sow.

  642. Because the rain in America is coming the rain is coming, man,

  643. and God's going to begin to release the seed of.

  644. Revelation in the heart of America.

  645. And Americans and many nationals, for people that are in

  646. our nation are going to begin to hear the clarion

  647. call of the love of the Father.

  648. And they're not going to respond to the dictates of

  649. the church. But the love of the Father, he alone

  650. can change the heart.

  651. Uh. Let me, let me, let me very quickly give

  652. to you these principles nine times. Yeah, I am aware

  653. of the time.

  654. How then, we had a couple of pop.

  655. Church one time in the passage, and I got ready

  656. that phoenix, my hermon, close my Bible, a new family.

  657. Is there?

  658. A little girl end over her mom so much close Bible?

  659. She said, Mama, was that me?

  660. And her mama said that means absolutely, man, it is true.

  661. It is true. And the last church they took down

  662. the clock and the cattle. But let me say, the

  663. two up o'clock coring up a calendar, and.

  664. I follow the more moved from becoming to use it.

  665. And we used to apply this however applies to this,

  666. how you can together and one of them, the first one,

  667. I suppose I've already beentioned.

  668. But it's this.

  669. Well, it's perceived to be a requiem for one, it's

  670. a revolution for another. Now I know there's been much

  671. time on there.

  672. I'm gonna said to you when we're a pastor and

  673. I don't have Just a couple of weeks ago, it

  674. was apowesome and we came into the church.

  675. It's a beautiful sanctuary like this, and we came in

  676. like it would have been like right here where this

  677. stream is, right, we.

  678. Come in the sanctuary. And this was just a dream.

  679. I just was dreaming and.

  680. Walk in the room and up here I noticed in

  681. this corner, in this beautiful sanctuary, I noticed that there

  682. was wallpaper on the wall, but the wallpaper had become

  683. dry and and.

  684. It was building off the wall.

  685. So I begin to say to the pastor, you know,

  686. we really need to get up there, my dream, we

  687. really need to get up there.

  688. And pull that wallpaper off. It looks bad on that wall.

  689. And the pastors say, Dawn, we're gonna remodel the Saint Square,

  690. and so we're gonna take all this paper down.

  691. Wait, in my dream, I said, then, well why don't

  692. we just take it down?

  693. Now?

  694. We got people coming to church in a little bit.

  695. They all paper are coming to set hello.

  696. Let's just call him the prompt tune Sunday morning work.

  697. Then learn a good idea and we'll get in tearing.

  698. All this wallpaper on. So he said, well, let's just

  699. be used to our now real quickly, we tore all

  700. the wallpaper off. It been like in that section, we're

  701. talking that whole wallpaper. And when we did, we began

  702. to realize there was a mural, beautiful mural painted on

  703. the wall, but needs a wallpaper.

  704. And when great enthusiasm, we begin to.

  705. Tear the wallpaper off. And we tore the wallpaper off,

  706. and there was this and this mural was of.

  707. A young man. He goes like he's in the twenty

  708. He had on a T.

  709. Shirt and blue cheeses and they had hold of him,

  710. and he had tattoos on his arm, and he was

  711. standing right at the edge of this cliff. He was

  712. standing and this cliff it just went down, and this

  713. young man was just standing there, right on the edge,

  714. and the mural was right in there.

  715. And I saw it, and I said, what is this

  716. guy doing?

  717. What's he doing? And interestingly, in the mural he had

  718. all of this armor. It was like an ancient armor

  719. of a warrior laying at his feet. But he was

  720. standing at the edge of the cliff.

  721. And when I first saw it, I was like, can so.

  722. Man?

  723. It looked like he was going to jump. His face

  724. was stern and stowy.

  725. He was looking out to the horizon, and I thought,

  726. he's quit too soon, man, what's happened?

  727. Don't quit, don't jump. And my heart felt the emotion

  728. of this young man standing on this cliff's edge. And

  729. suddenly I began to realize, we gotta tear off more wallpaper.

  730. I had to see the rest of that. So we

  731. tore off all wallpaper down this wall, and suddenly I

  732. began to realize.

  733. Just beyond the cliff was this amazing. All the way

  734. down that wall there was an amazing plush valley and

  735. had this beautiful river running through it.

  736. He had orchards and fields of wheat and grain, and

  737. it was amazing. The whole valley was just tea with light.

  738. And I was like, and don't jump. Look look what's

  739. ahead of you. And I saw the armor, and it's like,

  740. he's thrown off the armor. Why would he quit? And

  741. we got back here and they're like, okay, we got

  742. to tear off on paper.

  743. So we tore off the wallpaper on this wall, and

  744. the beautiful valley runs into a great mountain range, and

  745. the mountain range as we turned the corner.

  746. This whole wall here was a vast desert.

  747. It was just beautiful valley, amazing mountains, desert all the

  748. way around here. But when we began to tear off

  749. the paper of the wall where the desert was, we

  750. begin to see that there was a like a wagon

  751. train of people in the distance in the desert that

  752. were making their way up through there.

  753. And so I was like, oh, man, let's see where

  754. they're going.

  755. So we tear out.

  756. That's the cool thing.

  757. About dreams, right, And so the more wallpaper will follow me,

  758. the more wallpaper would threw off his way.

  759. The little line of a wagon troading back here became.

  760. Larger and larger and larger and larger, until this whole

  761. back wall here was completely full of generations of people.

  762. Who were cutting up through here and who were coming across.

  763. And you know what, by the time I got back

  764. to the young man over here, the young man was

  765. not standing on the.

  766. Cliffs edge ready to jump at all.

  767. But he had generations behind him, and he was scoping

  768. the land to see their best path down into the valley.

  769. So I hadn't miss just.

  770. Just what I said, I had missed, Judge, I hadn't

  771. seen it. And so I began to as to the

  772. Lord of the dream, who is the young man?

  773. Who is the young man? And I'm telling you the

  774. one said to me in a dream, He's not a

  775. man at all, He's a generation. Can I begin to say?

  776. Every major move of God in the twentieth century began

  777. in the heart of the gun. I begin to feel

  778. in my heart God is about to do something in

  779. the generation of the youth. Watch the high schoolers, watch

  780. for a revival to come to the high schools. What's

  781. the elementary schools, what's the college days, what's the young couples?

  782. Watch what God is about to do? And a generation

  783. of young people who are not looking for an easy

  784. way out come out.

  785. And they had to lay down the expectations of the

  786. armor of their fathers and saying we've got to go

  787. our way, but go we must.

  788. And they were leading generations into the Kingdom of God.

  789. And so I begin to feel in my heart the

  790. Lord was saying what one man's funeral is another man's resurrection.

  791. The second principle that I want to give to you

  792. is the future is often hidden behind the veil the

  793. thinly veiled history.

  794. The future is often.

  795. Hidden behind a thinly veiled history. Students of history are

  796. often remarkably and made by the relations of the future

  797. they've discovered there. And I want to say to you,

  798. there's something about the past of this ministry that God's

  799. about to put his finger on and resurrect it for.

  800. The days that come ahead. Listen to me.

  801. I know nothing about this church, its beginnings, it's past,

  802. it's history, it's it's current.

  803. I know nothing about it, no one thing.

  804. But what I do now is disappearing the Lord begin

  805. to say, what is I'm going to take that which

  806. has been our past. I'm gonna bring it through a

  807. moment of healing and transition, and I'm going to begin

  808. to reach Shay. This ministry had become the transformity agent

  809. of God in the state of Kentucky.

  810. God wants to.

  811. Do an amazing thing in this place. I looked at

  812. the young man in the dream. I didn't see the

  813. generations who.

  814. Come behind him.

  815. I just saw him until we get it all on

  816. the right. And then I began to realize He's doing

  817. He's the third Prinsident. The future is obliguous to those

  818. who mistaken the dysfunction of the previous generation for the

  819. destiny of their own. The future is bleakest to those

  820. who mistaken the dysfunction of the previous.

  821. Generation for the destiny of their own.

  822. I begin to say, you know what God's going to

  823. do some things in Somerset. I begin to feel it

  824. in my spirit this morning early when I awaken and

  825. I pray, the Lord began to just monister to me

  826. in a really, really powerful way.

  827. And I don't know where you are, but there are

  828. some people.

  829. And Pastor and I and nobody else, and I have

  830. had one conversation about anything. Listen to me. There are

  831. people that have been discouraged. There are people that have

  832. been out of focus. There are people who have been distracted.

  833. There are people that have been mistaken.

  834. You've been You are the one standing at the cliffs edge.

  835. And others were looking at him and listen, interpreting your moment.

  836. But all is saying, and He's gonna come. He is coming.

  837. He's gonna visit this place he's gonna visit our homes.

  838. Man, he's gonna visit our marriage, he's gonna visit our children,

  839. he's gonna visit our families. He's gonna visit our church.

  840. He's gonna begin to equip us and empire us to

  841. do what we dreamed of doing. But we've never really

  842. captured the courage.

  843. To do it.

  844. But we now will because student Bismark. He said, the

  845. question is not whether America will come back to God.

  846. The question is will America come back to God by

  847. desperation or by revelation. God has been merciful to us.

  848. He's given to us revelation, and he's reminded us. Sure,

  849. maybe the future generation, Maybe the generation is before us.

  850. Maybe your mother, your father, maybe there was lots of dysfunction.

  851. Listen to me, The dysfunction of those who went before

  852. you does not determine the destiny within you.

  853. And whatever the fact thought has planted in your heart, a.

  854. Destiny that he's about to unlock and to unleash and

  855. bring you into a place you've never been before.

  856. So I'm gonna quit. You're gonna take me serious about

  857. the county.

  858. It's gon afford the Lord and again I've never shared

  859. these things anywhere. The Lord mantles generations and he annoints them.

  860. With the Holy Spirit.

  861. To accomplish the dream that He's put within them. We

  862. may look at the young people and we may we

  863. miss interpret as a dream that God has put it.

  864. I begin to speak with a bunch of millennials, I said,

  865. who named a millennials?

  866. Who?

  867. Why? Oftentimes it's the older generation who names the younger generation.

  868. But the name we instilled upon them is a name

  869. that we discern as our own dysfunction. And we've labeled

  870. a generation of youth and children in some ways with

  871. the dysfunctional term.

  872. This generation of young people that are among.

  873. Us today are highly creative, They're very smart. They're gonna

  874. carve their own path. And God has put a destiny

  875. and a dream within them.

  876. And God's about to unlock and new the Spirit is

  877. gonna be get to release the dreams that are decided

  878. in the command. And we may think they can't do it.

  879. I'm telling you that I was born in the United

  880. States Military. We'll strap a twenty year old into a

  881. fighter playing that cost a.

  882. Half a million dollars over there, half a billion.

  883. In the church we're afraid the twenty year old money.

  884. Because we're imposing our dysfunction on them and they don't

  885. know what you know, and they got the bag into

  886. so let them.

  887. Shove their way, bring them into an.

  888. Atmosphere, or they can just think in just salivate with

  889. the creative Jesus, if you.

  890. Will have a holy spirit, because God.

  891. Is about to birth something I think and talking, yeah,

  892. I think in Somerset.

  893. It's gonna be reminded. Here's the best order, pulling the

  894. number five. See that is what is it. I want

  895. to say to you.

  896. We need to get ready whatever happens this week, there's

  897. gonna be a lot of drama. We're standing this morning.

  898. On the end, a book can very easily become.

  899. America's greatest dramatic political bumble, the outcome of which we

  900. cannot discern from this place right here.

  901. But it's colomy.

  902. I'm telling you.

  903. That in the next few weeks and.

  904. Months two ty seventeen, we will witness, we will witness

  905. the beginnings of some of the greatest outportings of God.

  906. The world has ever seen. So listen to me.

  907. I'm going to share a story this week about an

  908. encounter that I had and how revival broke out of

  909. my church, and if the Lord told me not to

  910. keep it in the building, I had to carry it

  911. all up and down the Gulf coast.

  912. And we did that for nearly a year. And Wills

  913. tell someone that story. But listen to me.

  914. The Lord said to me in that time that he's

  915. beginning a movement of his spirit. You know, building will

  916. ever contain, no ministry will ever control. The Lord begin

  917. to say, I'm going to begin to rebuild the heart

  918. of the Father, and through the revelation of the heart

  919. of the Father, I'm going to.

  920. Release the fire of my holiness. And through the fire

  921. of my.

  922. Holiness, I'm going to begin to release I'm going to

  923. begin to read the greatest harmy that the world has

  924. ever known.

  925. Listen to me. About six services ended that meeting.

  926. We had to move the thousand see tenth and an

  927. open building in North Florida, and we were there and

  928. we were live streaming from a tent, and we had

  929. over eleven thousand people from all over the world trying

  930. to watch what God was doing in a tent in

  931. print the cold. You know why we had people watching

  932. from this time Boo Turkey, we had people watching from

  933. Saudi Arabia. We had a younger man that grew up

  934. that we knew in the church, who grew up through

  935. Can I say this. He was a part of a

  936. medical team for a very huts prince in Saudi Arabia.

  937. He and a prince from Saudi Arabia were watching the

  938. revival in a tent in Florida, sitting inside of Saudi Arabia,

  939. watching this revival, and the younger prince was asking the

  940. young man questions about Jesus and dreaming and all that

  941. kind of thing, and it was just it's just amazing,

  942. you know why, Because the whole world is teetering on

  943. the brink of chaos.

  944. A whole world seems to be in a place of

  945. unrest and unsettlements.

  946. And the moment that a sustaining, authentic, real move of

  947. God begins to transform a heart of a people, of

  948. a person, of a community of a church, listen to me,

  949. you would have a whole world watching in about forty

  950. eight hours.

  951. Because the world is standing on the brink.

  952. And I believe this morning God is saying, break up

  953. the follow ground, break up your follow grounds. Don't let

  954. the disappointment or hurt, the bitterness, anger, distraction, the disappointments,

  955. the hypocrites.

  956. Don't let those people, not one more minute cause your

  957. heart to become hard and unpliable.

  958. Allow the Holy Spirit to set the file and cut

  959. deep into that place, that he might bring the healing

  960. rains of the Holy Spirit.

  961. That deceeed might be sun, and the heart might receive it,

  962. and there might begin to be.

  963. This amazing productivity of the bountiful fruit.

  964. Of God in our lives.

  965. Listen to me, what if God, what if God really

  966. we're growing bram Rey bot it.

  967. Well, what if he were going to bring in the time,

  968. or what if God wanted to do.

  969. In the nation people beginning to do. I guarantee you

  970. right now, I can't think of another governor in the state,

  971. in any or the nation that was speaking as holdly

  972. as we heard government speaking. And that's not a political thing.

  973. That was That was an address to the group of benefit.

  974. When you have a governor stand before you saying, if

  975. America is lost, it's going to be carried your grave

  976. on the back of the power of the preacher.

  977. Hello, Hello, Hello, I see what I'm saying. America is ready,

  978. America's right, our young people are standing in them. They're

  979. just waiting for a generation of fathers money to part

  980. and release them and help them and guide them and

  981. believe in them and release them to do it.

  982. And they're going to do it great.
