Sunday Message - Dutch Sheets (September 25, 2016) | Life Bible Church

I felt very impressed last night of just something

that just opened up even in this region. We're

going to continue just to ask the Lord in just

a moment to continue to open up the region for

the unlocking what needs to be heard and the

impartation. So Father, in Jesus' name, Lord,

we come out of our excuses and our justifications.

We come out from hiding. And Lord, we come to

embrace you. Lord, you are light, you are truth,

you are the word of God. You are the one that

we live for. Now speak to us, Lord. Our hearts

are open that we might hear the word of the Lord,

that it might set fast inside of us, take root

and bear fruit for you. In Jesus' name. Life

Bible Church, would you welcome Pastor Dutch

Sheets as he comes to the platform this morning.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, especially

those of you who stood. 10 % discount for you

at the table. Everybody else, jack the price

up. Of course, they didn't stand. They're probably

not going to the table anyway, right? I'm just

kidding. I just like to have fun. If Rick Pino

can do it, I can do it. He's crazy, isn't he?

I mean, the guy's crazy. I've heard him do things

before like that Bob whatever -his -name -is

song. And I think, you know, God couldn't use

very many people that way. You know, I mean,

if God told me to do something like that, I'd

probably say, I'd rebuke that. That can't be

God, you know. But Rick is so simple in his faith.

He's just so, I don't mean that, I mean that

in the appropriate way. He's just so childlike.

And whatever God says is okay. And that's one

of the reasons I love him so much. So it's good

to be here with him. I appreciate you all having

me in here and letting me sow into this part

of the nation. I do appreciate Rick making the

connection, you know. Sometimes when I have a

friend that says, hey, we need to go to this

place together, it's like, okay, if I trust him

enough, then I do Rick. I don't really have to

even pray about it. I just say, well, if you

feel it that strongly, let's go. And I'm very

glad that that happened. We'll move quickly into

the message and see where the Lord wants to take

this. I would just encourage you, if you were

not here last night and you have not heard the

message on the appeal to heaven that you consider,

going to YouTube or I think we're out of the

books and I apologize for that but maybe order

one through Amazon or through our website and

I think the most encouraging feedback I get from

that message is usually something along the lines

of people will come to me and say I now have

hope again for America. I know God's not finished

with America. And that's what I feel every time

I preach that message. I know he's not finished

with us and there's hope. So get it and listen

to it and let the Lord feed you and help us spread

the word. Amen. I'm going to pick up on that

same theme this morning. I've been praying about,

Lord, do you want to give me a specific word

for this house? Or do you want me to stay on

the theme of the nation? And I'm going to stay

on the theme of the nation. I do have a prayer

or two, maybe a word I'm going to share later

that's more for this house. But for the message,

I want to just stay on that theme. You know,

I carry this nation in my heart. I went through

about a, I don't know, maybe almost a 10 -year

season in the 90s where the Lord started downloading

to me his heart for America. It didn't come instantly.

It was more of a process. And it did culminate,

though, with a very dramatic encounter I had

with the Lord. I walked up to the podium on a

Wednesday night to teach. I was pastoring at

the time. And when I got to the podium, opened

my Bible, just like a wave of dizziness, just

became a little bit disoriented and couldn't

figure out what was happening. I didn't want

to alarm anyone. I knew in my heart, this is

either God or I'm in trouble. Because it was

just strong. And so I just said to the people,

just wait on the Lord for a minute. I was really

just trying to figure out what was happening.

But when you don't know what else to do, you

just wait on the Lord. And within seconds, I

was weeping uncontrollably. And I didn't know

why I was weeping. I just had this, and I just

began to sob. And at that point, I knew it was

the Lord. I didn't know what he was doing, but

I knew it was the presence of the Lord. And I

couldn't stop it. I just couldn't stop it. So

a staff member or my wife came up, and they knew

it was the Lord. They didn't really know what

to do other than, actually, my wife knew what

to do. She knew what I would want. And she said,

I don't know what the Lord's doing with him,

but I know this is the Lord and I know what he

would want. So we're just going to all go home.

We're going to lock the doors, close him in here

and put some worship on and leave him with God.

Pretty good thing to do, wasn't it? And for about

three and a half hours, I just wept over the

nation. And I'd never experienced anything quite

like it before because at one point, I wasn't

weeping from here. I was weeping from here somewhere.

And I didn't know you could weep from where I

was weeping. And at one point I told the Lord,

I said, if you don't stop this, I'm going to

die. It's hard for me to talk about without experiencing

it again. And I said, I'm going to die of a broken

heart. My heart hurt. Physically, my heart hurt.

And I said, please, please. He said, you asked

me to give you my heart. For America. It was.

I shouldn't have gone this direction to start

this because I turn into a blithering, blubbering

idiot when I do, but whatever. It was fascinating

to me that what I felt was not anger. What I

felt was the loving, broken heart of a father

who was weeping for his prodigal. And it really

changed everything. It's hard to describe a...

There's a difference between a calling and a

mantle. And I don't know that I can define it,

and I don't know if theologically it's accurate.

For me, it works that something more than a calling

came to me that night. Something was imparted

to me of the nature of God. And so since that

day, I've carried this nation in my heart. I

didn't know how to carry it at first. It impacted

me so much, I didn't know what to do with it.

And I was so tender for a while that I'd be riding

down the road, driving, and see an American flag

and just have to pull off the road. And I told

the Lord at one point, I said, after about two

weeks, because I wasn't even functional. I just

couldn't function. And I told the Lord, I said,

you've got to take this off of me. I can't do

this. I don't know how to do it. I'm no good

for anything. You've got to take this off of

me. And he said, I'm not going to do that, but

I'm going to teach you how to carry it in your

spirit instead of your emotions, your soul. And

so I went through another season where he began

to teach me how to live from here where this

calling was concerned and not here. Because I

was becoming a basket case. So I carry this nation.

That's not even my message. I just got sidetracked

when I said I carry this nation in my heart.

So that's all free, okay? If you liked it, it's

free. If you didn't like it, it's still free.

But I try to stay very tuned in to where we are.

I try to listen more to him than the news. I

try to stay well informed. I am kind of a news

junkie, but I try to listen for information and

not look at my direction of what's really going

to happen. From there. So I stay. Very connected

and tuned in. And you don't have to be. All that

prophetic. Right now. To realize that. If God

doesn't do something. America is. In. Really

bad trouble. I need a tissue now. If somebody

can just bring me up here. Something. Let's see

if we can do this without grossing you out. That's

a problem with these mics. You can't just pull

it away. You just have to go... But when you

get my age, you don't much care anyway, so...

Thanks. Pity the poor soul who has to clean his

platform the other day. May the Lord humble you

and use it. But you don't have to be all that

prophetic to know that we have to have sovereign,

supernatural help or the America we have known

and loved, most of us at least, maybe all of

us hopefully, is gone. So there's a war for the

soul of a nation that is intense. It's not just

about America, it's about the nations. So when

the Lord visited me that night and I wept for

three and a half hours, one of the things he

said to me when he was talking to me about the

awakening, the revival that he wants to bring

to this nation, he said these words to me, I

must have this nation. I must have this nation.

He said, for what I'm going to do in the earth

and the harvest. That I'm going to bring in.

In this hour. I must have this nation. You must

war for this nation. So I'm going to start there.

I'm well aware of the time. I'm going to move

fairly quickly now. I think. Just to emphasize

that. I'm going to share a couple of words. With

you. Things that have come to me from people.

And then I'm going to tell you. What I think

the Lord's response to that is. I was. I was

with a friend of mine recently who's an expert

on international trends and affairs. He is such

a renowned expert, even though he's a spirit

-filled believer, that he recently taught a group

of his peers, 60 of the leading world experts

on international affairs. condition of nations

and trends international trends these guys don't

go back and study 50 years they study 6 ,000

and they chart it and they graph it and and he's

one of the experts of the experts he recently

taught a group of 60 of them at Yale and and

they were so impressed they said can you do this

and come and do this again for a group of us

at Oxford so that's how respected he is and he

met with me and a friend of mine our spouses

recently because he wanted to He wanted to let

us know where they think things are in the nation

and nations. But he also wanted to encourage

us that God really does want to do what we are

saying he wants to do. And that we really do

need to keep stirring people to pray. Because

he said this to me. According to he and the 60

international, they were all agreement experts

they met with. He said this, now this is naturally

speaking, and this is not where I'm going to

leave you, okay? But this is what he said. He

said, according to all the trends and all of

history, the verdict is in. America will not

survive as the leader of the world. And World

War III is inevitable. And then he said this

to me. He qualified his grave prediction with

one and only one hope. It's a good hope, though.

Divine intervention. He said, if something supernatural

doesn't happen, that's what the end result will

be. He is now saying from a statistical and a

secular and statistical perspective what many

of us have been saying for 20 years. There is

no hope for America without a third great awakening.

And there is no hope for the world without a

revived America. Don't let that discourage you.

Just let it bring the right perspective to you.

We live in serious times and God needs us. He

needs us to pray. Show up at 9. Show up at other

times when things... Turn your radio off on your

way to work. Pray in the Spirit a little bit.

Call forth the outpouring of the Holy Spirit

to your region, to your nation. If we do what

He said do, and there is a remnant doing that,

and that's all He needs. If we do that, He will

do what He said He would do. If you do the first

half of Chronicles 7 -14, you get the second

half. Some people just think you humble yourself

and pray and seek his face and do all those things

forever. But you never get to the end of the

verse. But you do get to the end of the verse.

He comes and heals the land. He forgives the

sin and heals the land. And people, believers

feel so outnumbered sometimes. And they feel

like, you know, there aren't many praying. But

the encouraging thing to me is God has always

used a remnant. He doesn't need a majority. He

just needs a few of us. And there's nowhere I

go in America and I go everywhere. And I'm out

every week. And I was at 70 or so cities last

year, and I'm on pace to match that this year.

And so I know at least this that I'm saying to

you. Everywhere I go, without exception, I find

a group of people just like this. They're not

playing games. They're just not into a religious

thing where it's a token to give God 15 minutes

a week. They are serious people in love with

Jesus, crying out to him. praying asking him

to change a nation they care everywhere I go

there is a remnant of people that are doing it

the remnant of leaders they're not playing the

game anymore they're not judging success by how

many people they can transfer from all the other

churches in the region into their place They're

not judging things by, you know, how happy they

send their people home every week. And they are

truly measuring success by are we impacting this

region, this city? Is the kingdom of God invading?

Are marriages being healed? Are families being

healed? Are people's lives being changed? Are

they falling more in love with Jesus? Is the

word really being preached? You don't have to

be in most of them very long. You can tell almost

immediately if that's happening. And they're

not playing the game anymore of competition.

I mean, it's still going on, but I'm saying to

you, there's a remnant of people everywhere I

go that are done with the fun and games and the

foolishness. It's not that we don't have fun,

but you know what I'm saying? They're serious

about this. So you can be encouraged with that.

So my friend said, you know, if God shows up,

the statistics all become irrelevant. And he

said to me, and he's, as I said, he's just brilliant.

He's intimidating to talk to. I just nod so he

thinks I'm smart. I don't bother to say, what

does that word mean now? But he says to me, he

says, I want you to know I believe this is going

to happen. God's not turning us over to our enemies.

I just want you to know you've got to keep praying.

So let me encourage you with this. I used to

travel to Washington, D .C. a lot to pray. There

was a season where I was... I was in there two,

three, four times a month. And so I've been there

dozens and dozens of times, most of the time

just to pray, not to speak, just sometimes with

other people, sometimes by myself. And a few

years ago, a few short years ago, the Lord said

to me very clearly, I just want you to stop going

for a while and just go to the States. Just kind

of leave it alone for a while. Pray for the nation,

but you don't need to go. And I'll let you know

when I want you to start going back in there

to pray. And so over a few year period, I was

in there maybe two or three times. And just a

few months ago, in February, my wife Cece came

to me. I was on the phone with my daughter who

takes care of my travel. assist me in some ways.

I was on the phone to her and Cece just barged

into the room. She didn't say excuse me or anything.

I don't know why she thinks she can do that stuff.

She didn't knock or anything. She just came on

in. And she just blurted out. I just heard the

Lord say, time for you to go back to D .C. I'm

on the phone and I said, okay. I said, okay.

She said, no, no, no. Listen to me. I'm serious.

You guys know what that's like. I'll talk to

you in a minute, sweetie. Your mother just walked

in the room. She said, I just heard from the

Lord. And don't be putting this off for several

weeks. It's time to get back in there. I said,

okay, I got it. And I told my daughter, I said,

change my tickets next week and route me through

Washington, D .C. I'm going to go in to pray.

So I called a couple friends of mine that I trust,

and we run with a lot and pray together a lot.

I said, I'm going. Would you like to go with

me? I told them what happened. They said, yeah,

I think I'm supposed to go. Yeah, I want to go

with you. So that was on probably, I don't know,

maybe a Tuesday or Wednesday. And I had an Appeal

to Heaven conference scheduled that weekend in

Alabama. So we went to the conference knowing

that after the conference we were going in a

couple days to Washington to pray. And Chuck

Pierce was there. Chuck's a prophet friend of

mine. Most of you know who Chuck is. He's an

internationally known prophet, one of the most

trusted and respected that I know of. And we're

really close. We've done a lot together. So he

was at the conference, and he had one of these.

He's always doing something prophetic. Half the

time, I'm sure I understand it. I just trust

him. So he's got these railroad spikes that he's

teaching on this being the year of such and such

a Hebrew, and the vav. A vav is like a tent peg,

and you stake your claim, and it connects heaven

and earth, and I just kind of go, okay. So it's

just a railroad spike, but if you paint it gold,

it's a vav. He had a valve, not a railroad spark,

but a valve. Oh, what do you got there? No, it's

a valve. Oh, I'm sorry. That's a nice valve you

have there. Anyway, so it's all significant to

him, and it is significant symbolically. It means

something. It's a picture of something from Scripture

to him. So he has one of these, and he calls

me up in my conference, and he says, I have a

word for you. And so he called my brother up

who was there, and my brother was one of the

guys going with me to D .C. So he calls us up.

He doesn't know anything about this trip, and

he hands me this spike -turned -vov, and he holds

it out, and he says, he starts prophesying. He

says, the Lord says. Take this to Washington,

D .C. and decree that you are restaking claim

to this nation. And he went on and on and on,

you know, prophesied. It was really good. And

when he finished, I said, you know, and everybody's

listening. I take the mic and I say. We already

have our tickets. We're going day after tomorrow.

Well, you can imagine the confirmation and the

encouragement in the room and to us that the

Lord really was saying, get to Washington and

restate claim to this nation. So we went to D

.C. and we started praying outside the White

House. And I thought, well, we'll go to all three

branches of government and we'll... We'll use

those places as sort of, you know, to represent

the whole nation. So we'll go to the White House,

we'll go to the Capitol, we'll go to the Supreme

Court. And so we started at the White House,

and if you've never been there, they blocked

off Pennsylvania Avenue in front of it since

9 -11. So it's a wide street, probably as big

as this room. But now you can just wander around

out there, and it's sort of a tourist area. And

then you come to the fence and then the grounds

and then the White House. So we're just, you

know, I mean, sometimes they take these stakes

and they literally symbolically put them in the

ground. Well, I knew I couldn't do that, you

know. If you start trying to drive a stake in

the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue, you're going

to be introduced to some other facilities pretty

quickly. And I'm not about to reach through the

fence and try to do it. So we're just holding

it and we're trying to be really discreet. You

know, we're not drawing attention to ourselves.

We're not screaming. You know, we're just quietly

praying. And sometimes we just kind of get together

and talk. And it looked like we're just conversing

with each other. But we're just taking turns

praying, you know. And we drifted off to a part

of the street that was private. So no one was

in like 30, 40 yards of us. Just so we could

quietly do this and not draw attention to ourselves.

And we felt really good. I have to say it was

the best prayer time, best in the sense that

I knew God was talking to me. I knew something

was happening in the spirit. It was very, very

strong. Probably the best prayer time I've had

there in 10 years. Very encouraging. And so after

about an hour and a half of this, we felt like

we were finished. We kind of were in a little

huddle comparing notes and what each one had

heard and what we were feeling. And then I noticed

about 50 yards away an elderly man started walking

toward us. And, you know, I just thought, what

is he doing? You know, leave us alone. Can't

you see that we've gotten off here by ourselves?

You know, you could walk way out here. And he

was obviously on a path that's going to take

him to us. And he was just kind of like this,

you know. And I thought, is he a panhandler?

Because there's a lot of them there. And what's

he want? And when he got about 10 feet away,

just kind of was deviated a little to where his

path would take him about three feet in front

of us. And so I was kind of watching him out

of the corner of my eye thinking, what is this

guy doing? And when he got about three feet away,

he said, and he said it six times. He never made

eye contact. He never stopped. He never looked

at us. He said. Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy,

mercy. And then he was past us. And we were just

looking at each other. And one of my friends

said, who are you? Come back here. And he wouldn't

stop. And he just drifted into the crowd and

disappeared. We couldn't find him. Absolutely.

thoroughly convinced he was an angel delivering

a message from the Lord to us. You can have mercy.

Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. Aren't you glad the Lord

doesn't give us If we connect with him through

the blood of Jesus. He doesn't give us what we

deserve. He's always wanting to give mercy. He

says, I take no pleasure in judgment. I take

no pleasure in the judgment of the wicked. And

he said, mercy always triumphs over judgment.

And he keeps covenant, but he didn't just say,

I keep covenant. He said, I keep covenant and

what? Deuteronomy 7. He keeps covenant and mercy

to a thousand generations. I believe we're headed

for a merciful awakening. A merciful outpouring

of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes he even comes to

people that don't want him. They don't even know

they need him. He has to first awaken them to

the fact that they need him. He is coming with

a merciful outpouring of the Holy Spirit to save

us from ourselves. So I shared this and we went

to the Supreme Court, had an amazing prayer time.

I don't have time to go into that, but just incredible.

Incredible what the Lord did there. And I left

there encouraged, saying, Lord, you're going

to do this. I shared this with some friends.

Lou Engle and I were together in his living room.

We were praying and talking about what God was

saying to us and the nation. And it was sort

of a mix of prayer and dialogue. And one of his

staff members said, to me, well, I want to share

a dream now with you that I had a while back

about you. And she said, very simple dream. And

you and I, she said, we're in a room together,

a building, some kind of meeting somewhere. And

I was loudly just saying over and over, this

is all you said. You kept saying, I have tapped

into a root of mercy. I have tapped into a root

of mercy. I feel like I have, Brad. I feel like

a remnant of people humbling themselves before

him on behalf of the whole. Has tapped into a

root of mercy. Covenantal mercy. And so I want

to leave you today with hope. But I don't want

to leave you with this flippant. Okay, we can

just go back to our fun and games thing. Serious

times. But we're going to win. He's going to

win. He's going to win. It's not about us. It's

about him. He's going to win. So I'm going to

finish this. That doesn't mean like five minutes.

That means like 10 or 15. So keep it turned off,

okay? You're not hungry yet. But I'm going to

finish this by making a few comments and reading

a little bit of this prophecy. Because it, to

me, says as strongly as anything I've heard what

I believe is coming. Just to encourage you to

keep praying. Keep your hope alive. Don't you

dare give up. So the Lord says, I have determined

and will now cause a new season to come forth.

What you have prayed for, fought for and stood

for is now being released. I have decreed it

and I will not relent, says the Lord. This is

an amazing phrase. The greatest push of my kingdom

will now begin. What does that look like? Because

I've been saying for 20 years, the greatest harvest

in the history of earth is coming quickly. I

think we're going to see at least a billion people

saved over the next decade or so. I believe entire

nations are going to come to Jesus. I think there

are Muslim nations that 10, 20 years from now

won't even be called Muslim nations. It's just

what is coming, we've never seen anything like

it. And he says, the greatest push of my kingdom

will now begin. The third great awakening shall

now advance in tidal waves of my power. Somebody

needs to bleed for that up here, okay? It is

the season of my surge, says the Lord. What does

that look like? Probably the book of Acts on

steroids. You will now see the new breed of remnant

warriors that I have reserved for this day and

hour. And they are coming. There's a wave of

prophetic evangelists about to be released into

the earth that will be scary if you're part of

the kingdom of darkness. Those who have not and

will not bow to Baal, Mammon, or religious impotence.

They will have the set countenance of Daniel

and will not flinch in the face of evil decrees.

As Esther, they will rewrite them by my statutes.

Governors of the culture will now come forth.

Remnant warriors will now emerge who have the

heart of David, the wisdom of Solomon, and the

tenacity of Paul. This new breed standing for

me in this season cannot be bought and they will

not compromise. Their ear has been tuned to my

voice as Samuel's was. I will speak and they

will follow in humility. They will dominate for

me. For I have not called my church to submit

to culture, but rather as my ecclesia to determine

culture's path and regulate in my name and by

my word. You know, the early church, it was just

a few short years. And it was said of them, they

are turning the world upside down. How do we

stop these people? Regulators of the culture

are coming to their posts. I will arise in this

new season with my remnant, my glory, my authority

and power. And I will rise with my fiery angel

hosts. This shall become evident support. I like

that. He's not saying, you're going to think,

wow, I wonder if angels. He said, it's going

to be evident support. You're going to know they're

there. You're going to know they're working.

You're going to wonder, how did that person,

what happened to set all this up? And you're

going to realize angels are helping you. You're

going to wake up with revelation you didn't have

when you went to bed. And you're going to say,

how did I get that? And God's going to say, my

messenger angel brought you that message. Signs

and wonders are going to start breaking out in

gatherings like this where people don't know

they're about to start breaking out. Nobody's

going to say they're coming. And nobody's going

to lay hands on anybody. But people are going

to start jumping up and say, I was just healed

of this or this or this or this. And God's going

to take over the room because the atmosphere

is going to be so saturated with His Holy Spirit

and angelic activity that heaven is going to

take over rooms. And he's not just going to move

into church services, he's going to move into

the real world where we live. I'm not saying

this is not real, I'm saying out there where

life happens. Kids are going to stand up for

their faith in the classroom and all of a sudden

an angel is going to manifest something in the

room and the whole room of students is going

to go, whoa. I'm telling you, this is coming.

Evident support. Evident support. Obvious angelic

support. Like the book of Acts, leading people

out of prisons, blinding the guards, causing

shackles to fall off and leading the leaders

out back into the prayer meeting. How'd you get

here? Angels just came in. delivered me and brought

me. This stuff is real. And God didn't lose any

of his power in the last 2 ,000 years. Angels

haven't disappeared. And we're not going to be

these weirdos that just, you know, get so caught

up in that. Our focus won't be the angels. Our

focus will be him. But they're going to partner

with us and help us. The call to my remnant is

to now rise and destroy defilement in your region.

How do you do that? Well, you do it with prayer.

You don't do it by physically going after people.

He says, resist and reign, resist and stand.

Stand for truth is what he's saying. Don't bow

to this stuff. Stand for truth. I will rise to

battle for my people. I will display my strong

arm for them. I will not stand down. I will not

be indifferent. I will not be a bystander. I

will rise and I will thunder against iniquitous

roots and abominations that mock me. That's powerful

stuff coming from the almighty God. I will rise

against idolatry. I will rise against antichrist

government that disdains and mocks me. I will

not close my eyes. I will look. I will see. I

will know and I will judge in fairness. I will

not relent, says the Lord. I will not be mocked.

I will answer passivity with bold, aggressive

warriors of purpose. I want you to listen to

this because I believe this is what I'm about

to read. This is one of those places. I will

now reveal revival fire engines. Places emanating

with Holy Spirit fire. Our innovative ideas,

even good things that come at church growth conferences

and how did this one do it and how to do that.

None of that is enough to turn a nation. There's

only one thing that has the ability to turn this

nation around, and that is an outpouring of the

Holy Spirit. It is a fresh Pentecost. It is an

outpouring of the Holy Spirit and fire. Your

good preaching's not enough. Mine's not enough.

They don't care out there what I have to say.

They don't care what you have to say. They don't

care about our religion. They don't care about

our good ideas. They don't care about our entertainment.

They have better entertainment. They got everything

they need when it comes to those type of things.

But the one thing they do not have is they do

not have the tangible, real, true presence of

Almighty God in their life. And when they come

in contact with it, they have no answer for it.

It touches something deep inside of them. Whether

they even know it's there or not, it touches

something in there. And they say, I don't know

about this. I don't know about this. I don't

know about this. But something happened to me.

And I know what I felt. I know what I saw. And

revival fire engines is what he calls them. Places

emanating with Holy Spirit fire. Vortexes of

tornadic fire will begin to spin through regions.

Lay hold of that. Don't just listen. Lay hold

of that. Get your faith out there right now.

Begin to say. In your prayer times here. Whenever

you think about it. We are one of those places.

I'm not talking about just this church. We in

this region. Why not here? Vortexes of tornadic

fire will begin to spin through regions. I will

now answer Baal's prophets by fire. The fire

of my glory will be fanned by Holy Spirit winds.

Hell will not stop it. Hell's obstacles will

become its fuel. I will flame, I will burn, I

will consume with Holy Spirit fire. I am sending

fire, says the Lord, fresh fire. Heaven's fire

and my remnant warriors will burn with my message.

They will burn with my passion. They will burn

with my presence. I was at Wesley. He used to

say, we just burn and people come to watch. We're

on fire and people just come to watch us burn.

Something like that. He said, how are you experiencing

your success and why do people come? He said,

they come to watch us burn. These guys back that

had it and that saw God moving, they knew it

wasn't about them. They knew they weren't smart

enough, witty enough, innovative enough. They

knew something supernatural has to come. He goes

on to say these messengers of fire will be Holy

Ghost possessed reformers. I will answer the

weak forms of godliness with those who will not

deny my power. They will release it in my name.

Demonstrations of my mightiness will confirm

their witness. And creative miracles will be

seen and reported. When these miracles start

everything will change. They are game changers.

When a person sees an undeniable true undeniable

confirmed Miracle, it changes everything. And

they are coming. It is time for, and I am bringing

forth a new Pentecost. You will inhale the sweetness

of my anointing. You will exude the confidence

of my power and you will live in the essence

of my being. You will experience Holy Spirit

wind and you will war differently. Breathe deeper,

he says, and dominate hell's kingdom. Dominate

hell's kingdom as intended. Step forward and

push with my spirit. Push with the angel armies.

Push the gates of hell and they will not prevail.

I will prevail. My remnant will prevail, says

the Lord. He says, wrapping it up, he says, you

shall more than conquer, so shift. And that's

a word for you. You shall more than conquer.

That's biblical. You shall more than conquer,

so shift. Change. Think differently. Start doing

things differently. Start praying differently.

Start decreeing differently. You shall more than

conquer, so shift. He is coming for a glorious

church. He's not coming for a weak, defeated,

emaciated, sick bunch of compromising, you know.

He's coming for a strong people. He's coming

for a bride that he has worked on, he has prepared,

and that he can be seen in. And we're a part

of that. We're not the losers. We're on the winning

side. It's his side. It's not about us. It's

about him. Shift into the new season that I have

ordained. That is a word for you. Shift into

the new season. That he has ordained. Shift now

into relevance and purpose that I have ordained.

It is the season of my awakening. It is the season

of my harvest. It is the day of the saints. It

is the day of my power. Arise with me and run

into this new season. Rise with me and move forward.

To destiny. Rise with me. With great purpose.

Rise and receive your Pentecost. Rise. Rise with

me. Says the Lord. That is God's answer. That

is God's answer. That is God's answer. To where

we are right now. He is coming with mercy to

pour out His Spirit afresh and anew. And I look

when I travel. I look for places that I think

have what is needed. It's a mix of passion. Humility,

desperation, prayer, worship. I look for places

that I think have what are needed to become one

of these fire engines. I don't look for, this

is not, don't take this the wrong way, okay.

I don't look for brilliance. I don't look for

flash. I don't look for performance. I don't

see who has the brightest lights or the most

smoke. I'm not against any of that stuff. I'm

just looking for something that's a little...

It's a different mix. It's deeper. It's real.

Polish means nothing in the context of what I'm

trying to talk to you about right now. It's just...

Hungry people that are ready to do whatever he

says. We're going after God. And we're hungry

people. At this place. And others in this region.

You can become one of these fire engine places.

That becomes a first fruits. Of the awakening

that's coming. I just want to pray over you guys

before I close this and hand it back to you.

Would you come up here, Brad? Jenny or Jennifer,

what do you prefer? Jenny, come up here, please.

I'm not implying by doing this that this is only

for this house and this region. I just feel like

I'm supposed to pray over them. Actually, can

we do this just a little differently? I just

wasn't paying attention. Would you come stand

right here, please? And give me some... or some

of the elders or somebody to get behind them.

Just stretch your hands out here now as we pray

for them. And I just want you close enough where

I can, this will be easier for me. I just want

to release a few things over this region. I want

you to be more than spectators right now. I want

you to agree with me. And Rick, wherever you

are, thanks. The Lord says, this is your Esther

season. Not 10 years ago, not 10 years from now,

but this is the moment, the season for which

you were brought into my story. And I placed

you exactly where I want you. And I've worked

into your hearts what I need to work into you.

And I've worked out of your hearts what I needed

to work out of you. And I have you right where

I want you. And you are ready. And you've allowed

me to put my heart in you. Not the hearts of

ambition and personal kingdom building. But you

have allowed me to go deep and root out self.

And that which would have caused you, had you

yielded to what some have to sell out. But you

haven't so yet. So I'm going to begin to manifest

outwardly what I've put in you. And it will be

more than leadership skills. It will be my very

nature and glory. And I will begin to release

things through you that somehow at a deep level

you have known were there. And were not able

to get out. But I have kept them inside until

now. But in this season the Lord says. I will

begin to release something different through

you. That which I have reserved for now. A power.

A glory. A deep level of wisdom and revelation.

Be ready for. A new season to come forth where

I speak to you in ways that will absolutely astound

you. Dreams, visions. There will be times, seasons

where you can't turn it off and you say, Lord,

just let me sleep a little. You're about to hear

at levels you have not heard. You're about to

think. And my thoughts. And the supernatural.

The marriage you have asked me. To bring between

the generations. Because you love the young.

And you love the old. And you love. your generation,

the Lord says, I have done that and I will do

that. And you're going to see an army of young

warriors emerge in this house and this region

that you will send around the world for me. And

the Lord says, Father, Father, and this is not

gender. This is for both of you. It's a spiritual.

Father, Father, Father, Father, Father. Just

keep releasing them and keep shaping them. Because

the marriage that I'm about to bring of the generations

will be what I have. what has always been in

my heart and what I've always done down through

the ages. And if you will think in this way,

continue to think in this way, you will see the

20 -year -olds doing what a generation ago the

40 -year -olds were doing. And you will see wisdom

that is 10, 20 years early showing up and you

will see prophets coming out of this house that

literally really shape nations. So the Lord says,

get out of every box and get the lid off completely.

Don't let anybody put you back in any mold other

than what I have for you. You are out and you

stay out, the Lord says. Just hear the Lord say.

This is not an outward thing. This is an inward

thing. I just hear him say, let my wild nature

come forth from you in its fullness. Because

I will not be tamed, he says. Let your worship

be radical. Let your faith be strong and radical.

Let your decrees be radical. Let the gift of

faith come on you as you pray and decree and

speak in this place. Do not even do it from the

place of faith that you have developed in your

life. Do it from the gift of faith that I will

cause to come forth from you. You will prophesy

and you will decree and you will find yourself

when that anointing lifts saying, what did I

just say? But I say to you, go ahead and do it

anyway. Come fully into the apostolic calling

and nature that I have created you to release

in the earth. Do not question it. Just be what

I've called you to be. It is in you, says the

Lord. And so, Lord, over this region, over this

region of Oregon, We just say, Lord, let the

fire engine be released and let Holy Ghost fire

begin to be released all over this region. Let

the leaders that have cried out and fought for

this, let them drink the fullness of what you

have put in their heart and they've been asking

you for. And let the signs and wonders begin.

And let the deliverances begin. And let the angelic,

evident, angelic support began. And let the mercy,

mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy of Almighty

God be released all across this region. Let it

be released in the schools. Let it be released

in the businesses, the homes. Let it be evident

to all in this region something very supernatural

has begun. Let churches that are lukewarm begin

to burn. become satisfied with religion become

suddenly dissatisfied let those that have been

bound with certain paradigms and theology that

have led them down a wrong path suddenly begin

to question it and say I don't think that's right

and begin to seek you and Lord when it happens

come to them with fire I believe there's an impartation.

The Bible says, come on, that we sow material

things to those that have sown spiritual things.

There's part of faith that you begin to just

reach out and say, listen, I receive that word,

but I'm connecting with that. I'm making it my

own. This is what my heart is. I'm partnering

with you, God, in this region, in this area.

Not just with Life Bible Church, but every church,

Lord, that wants more of you. Open the windows

of heaven. Come on, we're going to sow into that.

We're going to allow our faith to reach into

that word. As the ushers are coming forward,

we want to just bless them. We want to send them

away. We want them to come back as well. Amen.

But we want to just bless them into the next

journey. If you want to make your checks out,

the Life Bible, this offering is going to go

to all of them, the love offering. Let's pray

right now. Father, we receive, Lord, the word

of the Lord this morning, the encouragement.

Lord, the admonition that begins to stir our

heart to say yes to what you're doing. Lord,

we want to be those people that don't just hear

a message on Sunday and forget about it. deep

in our heart begin lord to cause it to be alive

and grow and lord that we would be people that

would be followers after you that we would be

even what was prophesied and said lord we would

be a place where the spirit of god would find

the lord whirling tunnels tornadoes of fire that

would come with your presence because you want

to release heaven among the people in this four

walls but outside these walls everywhere we walk

displaying your kindness your love your mercy

and the power of your grace flowing through us

displaying signs and wonders Lord today we say

yes to that thank you for sending your messenger

thank you for sending your teams in Jesus name

that we sow into this message and everybody said

amen let's give to the Lord this morning as you

give giving to them as unto the Lord. Thank you.
