Transcript
-
The word that God gave me is straight from Scripture and that
-
is there is a sound of abundance of rain.
-
There is a sound of abundance of rain.
-
And so that's why I'm here to tell somebody today.
-
What's if I spoke to tell you that God spoke to me, said the
-
Holy Ghost revival rain is coming.
-
God is sending the rain. Come on, somebody, can you say
-
Amen? Yeah, God is sending the rain.
-
The rain is coming. And so I'm hearing it in my
-
spirit. I'm hearing it before I see it.
-
And that's what I want to try to stand today, that I hear it
-
before I see it in the natural. I hear the abundance of rain,
-
the sound of abundance of rain. Hallelujah.
-
That's what I'm hearing in the story deep in my heart.
-
And so today is not just a little sermon, it's a prophetic
-
announcement. This is heaven.
-
When you tune your years into this is heaven's forecast, this
-
is what God is saying over your life, your family, over this
-
church, over our nation. God is saying the Holy Ghost
-
rain is coming. The rain is coming.
-
Can you say it means somebody the revival right is coming?
-
And so when God says revival right is coming, when abundant
-
right is coming, then nothing can keep the drought in place.
-
Then in other words, what it means when God says the right is
-
coming, then the drought is coming to an end.
-
Hallelujah. Somebody.
-
Yes, somebody shot Hallelujah. I hear the sound of the partners
-
of rain coming down. I hear breakthrough raining
-
down. I hear promotion increase.
-
I hear blessings raining down. Favor joy, miracles being
-
released. Somebody shot.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Yeah, Come on. Somebody shot that.
-
It rain. Yeah, let it rain, Let it rain.
-
Come on, wave your hand and say, Lord, pour it out on me.
-
Hold it out on me. Hold it out on me.
-
Hold it out on me, hold it out on me.
-
Yes, let it rain. That's it.
-
That is what we are starting from that right?
-
You're receiving it. Let it be your voice today.
-
Yeah, that's right. So let get your excitement up,
-
get your hopes up because God is about to surprise you with His
-
favour. Hallelujah.
-
Somebody listen. You don't have to look forward
-
to see that it's getting darker in the world.
-
It's getting we are living in the 8 days.
-
It's getting darker and darker in the world for the people.
-
But listen, for the people of God, it's getting brighter and
-
brighter. Somebody said Hallelujah, Yeah.
-
We are standing on the edge of something big, on the verge of
-
something used and big. OK, Holy Ghost and London, the
-
fire cover is almost Yeah. I want to encourage you and I
-
want to listen. I want you to not just show up.
-
I want you to stop. Ready.
-
I just want to come in to spectating from a pavilion, the
-
stair. Come and participate.
-
Be the one on the field. Be the player in the field.
-
Be there in the rain, in the water, in the fight, in the
-
praises. Great day.
-
Yeah, that's it. It's actually what I want to
-
tell you because this has happened.
-
This. I'm sharing this, Major.
-
This is what's happened to us. And I'm going to share with you
-
what happened to us last year. I'm sharing something powerful
-
here because I've seen people over the years, many years
-
coming to conference and you see some people on the side.
-
You see the people in participating on getting all the
-
miracles. And I got my miracle last year.
-
And sometimes it's not just a man of God that lays his hands
-
on you can be in that meeting. But if your heart is right
-
there, you can receive importation.
-
You can receive importation. And it was thousands of people.
-
And I got my miracle. Don't let nothing rob your
-
miracle. Please, Church, listen.
-
Listen. You know what the enemy wants to
-
do. He wants to rob you of your
-
miracle. And how?
-
Her face, You know what? Just before the meeting, just
-
before things happen, he will try everything to upset you.
-
I don't care if it's a spouse or a family member or a job
-
searcher. He'll try everything to upset
-
you. I've seen this in South Africa
-
when I was in my first revival meetings.
-
The prophet of God was in front. I literally was just being
-
placed by 1 Ashley at the front. Then another Ashley comes to me
-
and start moving me around. I was the only white person
-
there. Then they start moving near,
-
left, right and centre and people got really upset and the
-
Holy Spirit said to me, these ashes got the enemies using
-
these ashes, these church people to try and rob me off.
-
Just before the prophet of God comes on, they started moving
-
him. That's what the enemy, he wants
-
to create. The visions crashes because the
-
enemy wants to clog you. That's the only block.
-
Jesus could know. He could not do miracles.
-
Why? He's the Son of God, He could
-
not know because of dishonor. Just before the big blessing
-
comes, something just wants to try and upset.
-
Do not get offended now. Do not get upset and angry now.
-
Keep your heart soft. And so listen.
-
Our nation, this nation has walked through drought,
-
tryingness and doubt for a very long time.
-
But like Elijah, we are yet to declare the word of the Lord
-
that there is a sound of abundance of rain.
-
Somebody say that there is a sound of abundance.
-
Come on, give God some praise in this place.
-
Hallelujah. Now we're going to go to that
-
verse that is a powerful verse in first Kings 18.
-
Are you ready for this church? Let's go there First Kings 18
-
and please for homework come and read that entire chapter 18.
-
It's very very powerful. I can do I wish I've got more
-
time. I'm like, Lord, because when you
-
read in verse 18 how prophet Elijah, Oh my God, I nearly
-
preached that message today, how he challenged these false, these
-
false balls that's been sitting at JC Ball's table eating.
-
He challenged them. He said the God answers by fire,
-
letting the gods. I nearly preached that.
-
That's in concept. OK, so I'm just laying the
-
foundation. I think from there.
-
Remember Katarolo? Then he ran to the mountain
-
praying for rain. OK, now I just wanted to give
-
you some background. So pick it up here first Kings
-
18 verse 41 abundant, right? He says that Elijah, so here's a
-
prophet. So he goes to King Ayab, right?
-
He says to king Ayab, this is in the middle of a drug.
-
Go up and eat and drink for there is this sound of abundance
-
of Father, we thank you that your word is alive and Lord
-
right now we pray that you'll TuneIn our ears to the heavens
-
forecast. Let's pray for rise.
-
Let every dry place come alive. Oh Lord, our hearts are open for
-
a Holy Ghost revival abundant rain outpouring in Jesus.
-
Somebody shout Amen in Jesus. What a name.
-
Yes, Hallelujah. Now today this is amazing.
-
I want to give you very powerful 7.7 amazing keys how to receive
-
for this abundant outpouring, this abundant rain.
-
So you're ready for a Holy Ghost outpouring rain 7 keys.
-
And I'm like, after a while, let me look at it and I realize,
-
well, most of them start with AP OK?
-
I'm like, OK, well, that's amazing.
-
So it's easy to remember. So let's talk about this because
-
I just want to give you some background first.
-
Kings 18. What happens is there's there's
-
like a, a massive severe droughts, OK?
-
And this has been going on for a long time.
-
And this is God. God's giving me this message
-
because the UK has been in a lot a spiritual drug for a very long
-
time. And so, yeah, the children
-
official had a drug for 3 1/2 years, OK, There's no rent, no
-
crops, people, there's no water, nothing, no food to drink.
-
This is a severe drug. Now in the middle of that severe
-
yeah, comes Prophet Elijah, and he goes to the king and he makes
-
this declaration. There is the sound of the
-
abundance of rain. Now what is interesting is when
-
Elijah said that, OK, there was not there's not a cloud in the
-
sky. There's no wind, there's no
-
Thunder. There is no sign of rain.
-
When he declared there's a sound of rain, OK, it's dry.
-
OK, it's it's hot. OK, there's nothing growing.
-
It's just a drought. Now maybe you feel like you have
-
been in a drought. Those seasons are very real
-
drought seasons. OK, You can be serving, you can
-
be worshipping, you can be giving.
-
You can do everything you know what to do.
-
But deep inside it feels dry. OK, everything you know it just
-
there's a dry on the inside. Listen, there's marriage dry
-
droughts, OK? There's emotional droughts,
-
there's financial droughts. There's even dream drought.
-
OK, it's a season. And so we you just don't feel
-
excited about anything anymore. You just feel this dullness.
-
Islam was in a severe drought, dry, hopeless, discouraged,
-
stuck. And in that dryness, God sends
-
his word through prophet Elijah. And just like Elijah, God has
-
seen each word this morning from me.
-
And I hear in my spirit, I hear the sound of things changing in
-
your favor. I hear the sound of freedom.
-
I hear the sound of breakthrough.
-
I hear the sound of restoration, sound of revival.
-
Come on somebody. I hear the sound of abundance.
-
Somebody shout out Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
-
Come on side out loud, I hear the sound of abundance of rain.
-
Yeah, yeah. That's what he had a spirit.
-
Amen. And so Elijah, he goes and he
-
walks up to King AEA. And so he comes there before him
-
and he says this. Now what he says, my God, this
-
is so contradicting what he says because he says something that
-
contradict what's going on in the natural.
-
He says something that is the opposite of what is going on in
-
the natural. He says opposite of what's going
-
on, there's a drought. They say something the opposite,
-
they're in a drought. But he comes and he talks right.
-
My God. Now that is faith somebody that
-
is faith in action. That is what faith does.
-
Faith starts by hearing before it sees it.
-
That's how faith works. I want I want to just write in
-
some faith message here today, OK, Because faith comes when you
-
hear before you see. That's how faith starts by
-
hearing. I meant with what you hear.
-
That's five years it before you see it, am I right?
-
Come on, Romans chapter 10 somebody, are you getting this?
Romans 10 chapter mention
-
Romans chapter 10, verse 7 to the Bible says that faith comes
-
by hearing and by hearing the word of God, the word of Christ.
-
OK, so faith doesn't come when you scroll the news.
-
Faith doesn't come when you read the negative headlines.
-
Faith comes when you hear what you hear God says.
-
That's how faith comes. So 5 comes when we hear the word
-
of God what God is saying. It doesn't come when we read the
-
negative news headlines. That's not how 5 comes.
-
Now, I've got no problems with scrolling.
-
I've not been on Facebook for I don't know how long, and I've
-
got a problem with social media. I'm just saying how 5 comes.
-
Five comes when you hear what God says.
-
So some of us has been hearing the wrong things for way too
-
long. You've been listening to the Met
-
Office of your emotions, partly cloudy, high chances of
-
disappointment. Met Office emotions, high chance
-
of disappointment. But more than the Met Office,
-
there is a higher forecast. There is a heavenly forecast
-
that says it's a different sound that says showers of blessings,
-
abundant rain, revival rain, Holy Ghost outpouring miracles.
-
Come on, that's heaven's forecast.
-
Somebody glory be to God. That's how it vital these days
-
because God has given all of us spiritual years.
-
That's how we hear from heaven. That's how we hear OK, praise
-
God, we thank God for the for the the moments and but God
-
speaks to us in your spirit. That's how God speaks to you.
-
He speaks with his spiritual ears.
-
We hear he speaks and often when God speaks into your spirit,
-
it's the opposite of what it seems like in the natural
-
circumstances, what's going on in the nature.
-
It seems like this is opposite. God is saying this.
-
I get this in my spirit, but what I see with my finances, my
-
banking is something I see something different.
-
But what God is saying. So you may be facing like an
-
illness or a disease and everything, the natural, the
-
symptoms, the doctors report says you not getting better.
-
But deep down in your, you keep on hearing you are whole, you
-
are healthy, you are strong and so on the inside you hear that.
-
But you may be struggling and your finances and the bank
-
account doesn't look good and the bulls are just piling up.
-
But deep down in your spirit, you keep on hearing you are
-
blessed, you are prosperous, you have more than enough.
-
And so the reason when God speaks to us, it seems like
-
contradictory opposite what's going on is because God calls
-
you what you are, who you are before it shows up.
-
Come on, somebody you get, you're getting that, OK?
-
That's how he does it. So in sickness, God calls you
-
healed. OK, in addiction, God calls you
-
free, Baroness, God calls you a parent or mother.
-
OK, and so you feel small, but God, and he calls you mighty.
-
OK, let me give you an example. Abraham had no children when God
-
called him father of many nations.
-
So God calls him so at that time when God calls him he had no in
-
the natural it doesn't make any sense because I had no children.
-
God comes and he calls you father of many nations.
-
Gideon was insecure and afraid. The Bible says that he said I
-
come from the weakest and God calls him a mighty man.
-
That's what God he calls him a mighty man of battle.
-
David, teenage shepherd boy, even his own natural father
-
overlooked him. God calls him a king.
-
Can you see church while I'm going here?
-
Because that is where faith comes in.
-
Faith, you have got to choose for what is going on in the
-
natural, what the symptom says about the seeker, what the
-
doctors report in the OR are you going to choose and agree with
-
what God says? Which one?
-
Because that is where faith comes in, because the Bible says
-
so we, we choose by what we hear on the inside rather than what
-
you see in the natural. OK, come on, the Bible says it,
-
the Bible. We are people of faith, right?
-
So people of faith, the Bible says that we live by faith, not
-
by sight. OK, now we're getting somewhere,
-
right? Because I'm what I'm just saying
-
is just, I'm just giving you Bible.
-
OK, Now things in the natural, what we can see can change.
-
The drought, the sickness, the symptoms.
-
Oh, I feel a bit fluid. That can change.
-
I wake up with a sore throat. It can change.
-
So what we see with our natural eye, that's temporary.
-
It's subject to change. One touch of God's power, one
-
touch of his fiber, and it can shift just like that.
-
That's it. That's it.
-
Come on. Hallelujah.
-
So you might feel stuck, you might feel in a drought, you
-
might feel symptoms, illness, difficult sicknesses.
-
You might feel overlooked, you might feel forgotten.
-
But if you look and listen, if you listen, deep inside you will
-
hear a different sound. Deep inside you will hear better
-
Is coming. Something new is coming.
-
Yes, New opportunities, new doors, new friendships, new
-
relationships are coming. When you year, deep inside
-
you'll hear the new things coming.
-
You'll hear the sound of abundance of right.
-
Regardless of the droughts, regardless of the economy,
-
regardless of what's going on in the politics, in the arena, UK,
-
wherever. You will hear in your spirit
-
deep down what God is saying. So faith, who is to report?
-
Will you believe? Hallelujah.
-
Come on. I wish I got somebody here
-
today. Yes.
-
So you're getting this. In a drought, God will talk
-
about rain. In lack, God will talk about
-
abundance. When you feel lonely, God will
-
talk to you about divine connections.
-
That's what God does. That's how in your spirit we
-
deeply hear it. So it's just very, very simple.
-
Whose report will you believe? Come on.
-
Whose report will we leave? Yeah, that's it.
-
So will you believe what's going on in that or will you believe
-
the report of the Lord? Will you believe what heaven
-
says? We believe the report of the
-
Lord. We believe the word of God.
-
That's the standard for our lives.
-
We believe what God says. And so like Elijah, I just want
-
to come and announce that I hear the sound of abundance of rain,
-
revival, rain is coming. That's the word of the Lord.
-
I hear that and it's about God is about to do a new thing in
-
our lives in the Uki hear that in my spirit.
-
Listen, this is how I just hear it before we see indeed, I want
-
you to say that. Say somebody say, yeah, I hear
-
it before I see it. Now, Hosiah 63 says he will come
-
to us like the rain, like the latter and the former rain to
-
the earth, OK. And so it is just so simple.
-
We come in an alignment and an agreement with what God says
-
with the word of God. And when we come in agreement
-
with what God says that God says he'll come to us like the
-
abundant right, He will pour out his Holy Ghost.
-
Then we say, yes, get ready, right is coming.
-
The moment we come in agreement and alignment, I will receive
-
the word of God. God say, yeah, get ready, get
-
ready. The rain is coming.
-
Somebody shout Hallelujah. Come on, shout it out.
-
The rain is coming. Start it again.
-
The rain is coming. The rain is coming.
-
OK, so number one, we hear it before we see it.
-
Now Elijah didn't just hear it and then just keep it to
-
himself. He did something with it.
-
And this brings us to #2 #2 Elijah went straight to the key
-
and he announced. Announce you the King.
-
There is a sound of the abundance of rain.
-
That is a big key because when you start announcing what God
-
has placed on your heart, it says miracles in motion.
-
When you start announcing what God says what God puts on his on
-
the Scripture says later redeemed of the Lord say so.
-
If you want to get well, say so. If you want the breakthrough,
-
say so. If you want your dream to come
-
to pass, say so. OK, because when you declare it,
-
that is when you release it, it says Psalm 68 verse 9, you send
-
abundant rain. Oh, God, in the natural, the
-
drought is temporary. It is subject to change.
-
The dry season is not your final chapter.
-
And I believe that God is announcing over you and your
-
family and over our church and our nation that the rain is
-
coming. The Holy Ghost rain is coming.
-
God is announcing a church. I just, yeah, it's so burning in
-
my spirit. I was lifted.
-
I woke up and God just deep in my spirit, I just the drought is
-
ending. Oh, come on.
-
Yeah, yes, you're getting this church say this with me.
-
Revival rain is coming. My drought descending.
-
I felt that when I woke up this morning.
-
It was like boom in my spirit, my drought descending.
-
Now when Pastor Michelle and I got married by the way, the end
-
of this month on the 26th it's our 19th year wedding
-
anniversary writing this we are celebrating 19 years of being
-
married and I know for more than 20 years more the what a bliss I
-
feel an anointing on marriages in this family.
-
What's what God is doing in the leadership.
-
Follow your leader as I follow Christ.
-
That's a Bible verse. Follow your leader as I follow
-
Christ. There's a blessing on you when
-
you follow your leader. Because we have been married for
-
19. We thank God for his anointing
-
on marriages. And what I'm about to share with
-
you right now will take you even to the next level.
-
Because when we got married, we tried to have a baby and we
-
struggled. We kept on struggling.
-
It was difficult treatment after treatment.
-
It was so difficult for years we kept on disappointment often.
-
Finally doctors said there's no chance.
-
And I was like, Lord, we are getting older.
-
And I was thinking this down. My younger brothers, and I'm not
-
talking about my Peter, my brothers just one year younger
-
than me. Listen, we six children.
-
I'm talking about my Joshua. He was like way younger than me,
-
starting having kids. And I'm thinking to myself, I'm
-
getting old. We are just, I'm not, what am I
-
going to do? But God spoke to Prophetess
-
Michelle. He spoke the word and she
-
received the word and I love what she did.
-
She announced what she heard from the Lord.
-
Whoa, the Lord spoke to her. The Lord said you're going to
-
have children in the natural. The doctor said there's
-
complications, there's problems, you cannot have children, no
-
ways. She heard what God said.
-
God said you would have children.
-
And she started the clinic. She's like, listen, we're going
-
to have a baby. I'm going to, I'm like, what?
-
This is contradicting what the Medical Sciences says.
-
We're going to have a baby. Not if we have a when we have a
-
baby. One thing I loved about
-
Prophetess Michelle, and I've seen this in the beginning when
-
we just got married and this is in Joburg, how she served in the
-
children's ministry. She's always the first one.
-
Now we don't have children, but she's staying with the kids.
-
I always admire that about her, that she would love other
-
people's kids. She would look after other
-
people's children. Love it like it's her own.
-
That already starts sowing seeds.
-
I'm preparing for my own. I'm sowing into.
-
Listen, you want your own ministry.
-
You want your own. You want to do serve another
-
man's ministry, serve another man's vision.
-
Be faithful and serve somebody else.
-
God will give you a sample. Be faithful.
-
We started in Joburg long ago. Already ushering, serving,
-
helping, packing, chase, being there, already serving another
-
Pastor Yuan from Vigor Solid Rock with the miracle ministry
-
which serves to the pastor. His vision is our vision.
-
Pastor, what is the vision We're going to do?
-
We follow you like you follow Christ.
-
Simple church. Not difficult.
-
So then she was already prophesying kids.
-
Now she was declaring this and still, I mean under color.
-
I was just honest. I was like, listen, we're
-
getting old. This is not likely, but that
-
doesn't mean God's done. Even if it in the natural, it
-
seems we are getting old. OK, God's not done.
-
And so years and years later after being married for 9 or
-
like 10 years, OK, finally the doctor said you're pregnant.
-
Hallelujah. And today we have three healthy
-
children. Come on, can we give God some
-
place? Can we give God some Christ in
-
this place? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
-
yeah. Now I wonder what would have
-
happened if she would have given up in the Trump.
-
I wonder what would have happened if she did not announce
-
what she had. I wonder what would have
-
happened if she just kept to herself God spoke to, but she
-
just kept quiet. I wonder what would have
-
happened but she didn't. She kept on announcing what she
-
heard. And I love that about, about how
-
we she declared it. Listen, when you are announcing,
-
you're not trying to impress people.
-
When we are not, we're not trying to get people's
-
agreements here, OK? We're not.
-
When we announce what we are doing, when you are announcing
-
what you heard from God, you are showing that God, I believe you.
-
That's what you do. When you announce what you've
-
heard you say God, I believe you.
-
I believe you. Yeah, I believe you.
-
And so instead of talking about how bad the drought is, how
-
difficult the struggle, OK, start thanking Godfather.
-
I thank you that my baby is coming.
-
Wake up in the morning. Father, I thank you.
-
You spoke to me. I heard it.
-
I thank you. My baby is coming.
-
It's on the way. And Lord, I thank you that the
-
rain is coming. The rain is coming.
-
My relationship is coming. That right person.
-
That's what I did. I'm like, Lord, I'm going to
-
marry the right person. Please.
-
Marry the right person, please. I really tried that.
-
But if you're single, ask God, He'll bring you the right
-
person. I thank God I married the right
-
person. I see years later, because if
-
you marry one person that's going this way and that way,
-
it's division. If you marry the person with the
-
same vision, first of all, when we married each other, we're
-
like, OK, what is your vision? Where are we going so we can go
-
on the same vision. We're not going to divert.
-
If you marry the wrong person, you're going to divert.
-
It's just like, it's like division, two separate visions.
-
You got to have the same vision. That's where there's unity.
-
How could you walk together? If they disagree, don't don't
-
even try and walk if you disagree.
-
Listen, we've got to have the same vision and we are serving
-
the Lord. We are serving the Lord.
-
We are there to win souls, to preach the gospel.
-
That's the vision. So when we follow the vision,
-
that's where we're going to come together.
-
And so this is what's happened is because you wake up every
-
morning and say, thank you, Lord, I hear it, and then we
-
announce it, and then we speak it.
-
Now here's another key #3 for our Holy Ghost.
-
Downpour abundant rain. We saturate the atmosphere with
-
praise. Now think in the natural how a
-
cloud is formed. Warm, the sun warms up the
-
water, the water becomes an invisible vapour.
-
The vapour goes up into the sky and the sky.
-
In the sky, it gathers together the invisible Viper, and it goes
-
up and it forms clouds. And so the more the clouds comes
-
together, the more the water gathers and it cannot hold it
-
out anymore and it has to release it in the clouds.
-
You understand what I'm saying? And then it becomes a down pull.
-
So in other words, the rain starts on the ground.
-
I mean somebody, yeah, that's where it starts.
-
And so the amount of water that goes up determines how much rain
-
comes down by 6 times. OK.
-
This is what what happens when the water goes up.
-
Now in the same way your price is invisible vapor.
-
So every day throughout the day when you say thank you, I
-
praying over the food. Thank you for this food.
-
Thank you for my home. Thank you for clothes.
-
Thank you that I don't line ICU with a pipe in my nose that I'm
-
sitting in church. Thank you every day I'm watching
-
dishes. I'm thanking you, Lord, I'm so
-
grateful you're sending a paper every day driving in the car.
-
Lord, I just want to thank you. You've been so good.
-
You're sending up gratitude. These little Vipers are
-
gratitude Vipers. That goes up and what's
-
happening is all throughout your day with the kids, washing
-
dishes, driving my car, take them to the school.
-
Lord, I just want to thank you, Lord, you're absolutely amazing.
-
Thank you. I'm sending more Viper.
-
And what happens is as you're sending a Viper, it forms a
-
cloud of the presence of God over your life.
-
Gee, some people you can just see it's just the presence of
-
God is around you. It's just over you, the presence
-
of God. And so if you keep on praising,
-
OK, at a point the rain, it cannot hold it back at some
-
point, OK, that rain of the is going to release promotion,
-
increase blessing, joy, it's going to rain down blessing upon
-
you. So the more praise you stand up,
-
the more blessing is coming. Come on.
-
It's going to rain down restoration, healing.
-
And that is what we say, come on.
-
We say what goes up comes down. What goes.
-
It's a same. We say what goes up will come
-
down, right? Yeah.
-
And so the same with praise. When the praises go up,
-
blessings come down. That's Come on, somebody here.
-
We love to say it right away. Prices goes up, blessings come
-
down. It's not a little cute phrase.
-
This is a powerful spiritual principle.
-
No praise, no rain. Oh, Gee, it's a principle in the
-
word of God. Limited praise, limited rain.
-
Try 20% praise. Maybe one day.
-
Then that's the 20% rate we get. Occasional praise, occasional
-
rate. Abundant praise produces
-
abundant rain. It's the spiritual principle in
-
the word of God. Somebody shout out Hallelujah.
-
Come on, take your praise back. Send up some praise, send up
-
some Vipers. Come on, come on, come on.
-
Send it up. Send it up.
-
Come on. Turn it up.
-
Turn it up. Come on.
-
Yeah. Get those glass full.
-
Get the glass full. Come on.
-
Come on, Get the glass full. Come on.
-
Stay to your feet. Stay to your feet.
-
Come on. Get those glass full.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on.
-
It's so simple. Just just open your mouth and
-
psych it. Thank you, Lord, for my clothes.
-
Thank you, Lord for the house. Thank you, Lord Jesus, that I
-
had a roof over my head. Come on.
-
Just thank you. Thank you.
-
I give you one more minute. Come, go, go, go, go.
-
Thank you, Lord. Thank you for good health.
-
Thank you for my job. Thank you for my children.
-
Thank you, Lord. Come on.
-
Thank you. Come on, open your mouth.
-
You are sending out Vipers. You are filling up the cloud
-
above you. You want joy?
-
Come on. Send up some joy.
-
Praise. Send up some thanks.
-
Open your lips. Open your mouth.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you, Lord.
-
Thank you, Lord. Thank you.
-
Thank you. I mean, you may be seated.
-
You see, some people only sing some praise on a Sunday.
-
One day we send praise on a Sunday.
-
I went to church. I sang 3 songs, sat through the
-
sermon. Oh, and I missed football, half
-
of football, rugby. I missed half the Grand Prix.
-
I missed my favorite soap opera. I missed the football.
-
Yeah, You see, sending a praise on a Sunday.
-
Now that's good because God sees that.
-
And this is a it's a principle. So you want to, you want the
-
blessings and the joy and the goodness of God and you want a
-
little bit of a smile on your face and really enjoy life
-
praising. I'm telling you now, I'm telling
-
you now, you want to break the pressure and heaviness, OK?
-
The first thing you do, you get in your car or wherever you are,
-
you just thank and praise the Lord.
-
You break off that heaviness of your simple principle.
-
But somehow over the years I've seen it so difficult for some
-
people. They cannot even raise their
-
hand. They cannot even clap.
-
They can clap for football. Oh, I've seen them at Loftus.
-
First of all, listen, I've seen them.
-
I've seen them in the sports stadiums, they cut loose and
-
they clap hands for they favorite sports team, whether
-
it's now football or whatever they can for the Springboks,
-
they can check. When we come into church, it's
-
like, let's double down, OK? It's really an insult to to God
-
Almighty. I played rugby.
-
I know what sports is. I know what it is to get
-
excited. I'm not against that.
-
But my God, my, the Springboks will not come before God.
-
I will not. I refuse you.
-
We come to pubs and places and and it's very quick to clap
-
hands and rejoice and cut loose on dance floors.
-
Oh boy. But we come in church.
-
Oh, now we have to put some form of a religious spirit.
-
Please. That's a Pharisee.
-
That's a hypocrite. I've done with Pharisees.
-
I've done with Pharisees. Modern day Pharisees.
-
You know who they are? They pretend that's a Pharisee.
-
They pretend behind, behind the mosque.
-
You can't fool me. You can't fool Prophetess
-
Michelle. We know you.
-
We know you, we know you in the spirit, we know who you are, we
-
know who you are. And so we cannot, I mean, if you
-
just only your only time you price is on a Monday, listen,
-
your cloud is going to be empty on a Monday afternoon, OK?
-
So that's why we need everyday price.
-
We need Monday, we need Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
-
Saturday. We need everyday, but we need
-
stuck in the traffic price we need when we're cleaning.
-
We need praise every day where we are.
-
Midnight praise everywhere. But we need to keep on sending
-
our praise, sending up those vapours.
-
OK, so your cloud falls out more and more because the more you
-
praise, the more rain you make. Simple.
-
And so if you will sow to the heavens, the heavens will sow to
-
you. This is a very basic principle.
-
Second Corinthians Chapter 9, verse 6, it says that if you sow
-
sparingly to the heavens, you're going to reap sparingly.
-
If you sow little, you can reap little.
-
If you sow generously, you're going to reap generously.
-
And so how much are we sowing in our praise?
-
And could it be that some of us in drought in a difficult
-
situation, in a situation where you feel stuck not because God's
-
unwilling because nothing's going on.
-
Could it be because nothing is going on And if we would begin
-
to just thank God more every day where we go thank God talk about
-
his goodness talk about our great God is brag about wow God
-
is amazing. God your Moses on you every
-
morning. Everywhere we go, we just keep
-
on thanking God. Would it be that God would pour
-
out more of his favour? Yes.
-
And so Psalm 22 says that God inhabits the prizes of his
-
people. Amen.
-
And surprise is powerful. Come on, let's keep one more
-
prize break. Come on.
-
Top your hands. Come on.
-
Sing up. Surprise.
-
Prize, prize, prize. Come on.
-
Give him surprise. Turn off.
-
Praise. Praise Jesus.
-
Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus.
-
Yeah, now I love that because that is better.
-
OK, come on, Let's just be honest.
-
That's better than a football goal or a rugby try.
-
That that was better than a rugby try.
-
OK, The spring marks just scored.
-
OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
Jesus won. Are you going to have Mike Tyson
-
his boxing or get on a Jesus snitch in the ring and he starts
-
punching the devil and he closes.
-
Yeah. Come on.
-
Listen, some of my sister need to cut loose in church.
-
Yeah. Not just in the pups in the
-
bottle and in the church. Yeah, maybe seated.
-
I mean. So let's move to the next one.
-
Also starting with AP. So that was praise.
-
Now it's preparation. So there's another picture of
-
the abundant rain. Holy Ghost down.
-
Paul in second Kings chapter 3 again.
2 Kings 3 chapter mention
-
God's people. Yeah, they were in a drought,
-
but yeah, they're in a valley. And so there is, it's dry, there
-
is no rain. And the word of the Lord, Yeah.
-
So it's very hopeless. And the prophet told them a very
-
strange instruction. He says dig ditches in the
-
valley. He's like, but in the natural,
-
why dig ditches in the valley? Because there's no rain, It's
-
dry. I mean, could go start digging
-
trenches that nothing grows there.
-
It's all dry. It just doesn't make sense in
-
the natural. But the wood of the all came.
-
And he says, listen, just go ahead and do it anyway.
-
Go and prepare. And the very next day God sends
-
water. He sends flash floods,
-
supernatural and all those beaches that they, all those
-
trenches were all filled with water and the drought ended
-
right there. It's all water.
-
The drought ended. Why?
-
Because God falls. What you prepared?
-
Come on, God falls. God fools what you prepare.
-
What are we preparing? And God fools it.
-
He pours into we, we make room. We make room for OK, so if
-
there's no ditches, we did not do any ditches.
-
It could not hold the water. The water would have gone right
-
for it would not have hold the water.
-
So if there's no capacity, if there's a, then there's no
-
abundance. And so digging ditches, it
-
simply means that we are making time for God.
-
And so we prioritize God's not number 567 on my list.
-
God is my #1 And so we prioritize our attention, our
-
affection, our obedience. We make time for God.
-
We put God first. And so right now, as a church,
-
we are preparing our hearts. We're getting our hearts ready
-
for revival Reign. We are preparing.
-
We are saying God, we are putting you first.
-
We are getting ourselves ready. And so we are not just going to
-
sit on the sidelines spectators, but we're going to be
-
participants. And so let me tell you about a
-
powerful testimony about a young girl, Sarah Rector.
-
Now, Sarah grew up in Oklahoma in the early 1900s, and we saw
-
the clip earlier on about how land was given to her. 168 years
-
land, just worthless land. I mean, it's dry, rocky, just
-
useless ground. There's nothing growing there.
-
And so she had a very young age, had that land, her dad gave it.
-
And so he was struggling. He could hardly pay the taxes.
-
And so he leased it out to a oil company.
-
And he thought it's just more of a burden than a blessing.
-
But The thing is that God, he knew what was under the surface.
-
And so Sarah would go, and I love this about Sarah is she
-
would lie down on the ground with her ear to the ground and
-
she she's listening and she would go on the ground, put her
-
ear. And so she's praying and
-
listening. And it makes me think of like
-
Elijah when he was on Mount Carmel, when he bowed down, put
-
his face down, prayer and listening for rain.
-
Remember the story. And so yes, she's she's praying
-
and she's listening. And so she didn't see anything
-
yet, but something in her. I believe in 1913 everything
-
changed. The oil digger, they struck oil
-
not talking a little treacle. I'm talking about a gusher.
-
This is barrel, thousands of barrels per day years, an 11
-
year old girl struggling, becoming one of the younger, the
-
most wealthiest young person in all of America.
-
And so we looked at that and it looked like empty land.
-
It looked like worthless land, but sitting on it was a river of
-
will. And So what people had written
-
off, God had written on abundance.
-
Now, of course, opposition came. And so the greedy people tried
-
to control her money. The system was against her.
-
But Sarah protected what God gave her.
-
She held on to what God gave her.
-
And so she she invested in her family, She invested the chip,
-
and she pulled a legacy that still inspires people to die.
-
They made a movie, a motion picture movie of that.
-
Come on, let's give God surprise somebody.
-
Yes, Hallelujah. And that's what it means that I
-
hear the sound of the abundance of rain in dry places.
-
Some of you are standing on Sarah Rector ground right now.
-
Now it might look in the natural small and stuck and difficult
-
situation in the natural, but if God could cause on Sarah
-
Rector's land, dry land, if you could cause oil to bubble up and
-
spring up. God can send rain in on you, in
-
your family, in your life, in your finance, your
-
relationships, your how God can release abundant rain and
-
outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon your life and your family
-
and our nation. Somebody shout Hallelujah.
-
Yeah, yes, sometimes you may feel stuck and difficult, but
-
listen, God has got wells. God has got abundant rain that
-
you don't see yet. Prey on the land, listen on the
-
land, serve on the land, give on the land.
-
Sarah Duck, teachers of prayer and listening.
-
And so and so that breakthrough came gushing through.
-
And if God can do that for a young girl, he can do it for
-
you. So just get ready.
-
I can just hear that world bubbling up in your life.
-
Come on somebody, I can hear it well, I can hear revival reign.
-
I can hear that somebody shout Hallelujah.
-
Now let me give you king #5 for abundant rain, Holy Ghost,
-
downpour, persistent prayer again, PEP, back to first Kings
-
18. Now, Elijah, after he announced
-
the rain to the king, he went to Mount Carmel.
-
He bowed down, put his face in his knees, praying.
-
And so he told the servant, OK, you go.
-
And then the servant came. I was like, there's nothing,
-
there's nothing there now, Elijah.
-
He didn't say, Oh well, I missed it.
-
I gave up. He kept on saying come again.
-
The second song, the servant comes back, there's nothing,
-
nothing there now. How many times?
-
He kept on going. Three times the servant came on
-
saying nothing. Four times, nothing there stuff.
-
Elijah kept on saying go again, go again, 5 * 6 times, nothing.
-
Stop at six, too many believers, Stop at six, too many believers,
-
they give up one, pray to only don't stop at six.
-
Because what happened he said go again and on the 7th time, oh
-
boy, even though it was just a small call, my God don't despise
-
small beginnings, even small emails, small phone call, small
-
something that is a break. That's persistent prayer.
-
Jesus told a parable in Luke 18. He says Jesus told his disciples
-
of parable to show them that they should always pray and not
-
give up. Colossians 42.
-
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
-
Zechariah 10 And I just want to tell you it's probably one of
-
the strongest keys. If you look at the prophetic, if
-
you look at Elijah, it's probably one of the strongest
-
revelations in the life of prophet Elijah.
-
And I can also say that's one of the strongest revelations in my
-
life. It's a spirit of prayer.
-
And so I don't pray out of routine or out of a religious
-
law. I'm praying out of a revelation.
-
So last night, so for hours, I've been in prayer.
-
So as you know, that's what I do.
-
I'm interceding and I'm praying through a spirit of prayer.
-
And so I get the breakthrough last night on a Saturday night
-
where some people watch movies. And nothing against watching
-
movies and entertainment. I just want you to be thankful
-
that you don't have a pastor sitting on a golf course, OK?
-
OK, come on. I'm just saying to you, Jesus
-
gets all the glory, but you have got a pray.
-
You have got a praying pastor that is watching over your soul,
-
OK, Because we've got a very a devilish, ugly devil that wants
-
to kill and murder and steal, kill and destroy every single
-
one of us. But we fight him in prayer.
-
Elijah is fighting and contending for a revival for the
-
entire nation on his knees. That's where we contend and get
-
the victory on our knees. And he says in Zechariah 10
-
verse one, ask the Lord for rain in the time of latter rain.
-
The Lord will make flashing clouds and it will give them
-
showers of rain. So too many believers quit at
-
six. They give up too soon.
-
Don't stop at six. Don't quit.
-
The word of the Lord to die for you is go again.
-
Go again. Your 7th is coming.
-
Your 7th and I'm, I'm going to extend this to you in a moment.
-
You can understand this because your 7th is coming.
-
I really believe there's an anointing on this today that
-
your 7th is coming because that's what happened for us last
-
year. Now watch this.
-
I just want you to say this. 7 is coming.
-
Tell your neighbors, say 7 is coming.
-
OK, 7 is coming. OK, so then the rain finally
-
breakthrough and this is where the shift happens.
-
OK, Now it happened. In the meantime, the sky became
-
black with clouds and winds and there was a heavy rain.
-
So finally, just when the abundance of rain fell,
-
everything shifted. Everything changed, OK?
-
Things that were stuck for a long time, for many years, all
-
of a sudden keep it will be. It's just moving.
-
And so things that were dead and lifeless suddenly coming alive.
-
OK, so there was a that's with abundant rain.
-
What happens when it's OK? Things cannot just stay the
-
same, OK? Just when the rain comes, the
-
revival rain, the abundant outpouring of the Holy Spirit,
-
things do not stay the same. That's why I said for the United
-
Kingdom of our nation, things will not stay the same When
-
there's a Holy Ghost outpouring, things shift.
-
Things change when the rain comes and what happens, I've
-
seen some, what happens is things shift, but they shift
-
very quickly. So there might be a time for a
-
Joseph where there's character, but then the moment comes when
-
there's a shift. And he's been promoted like that
-
very quickly. And it says here in the book of
-
Isaiah, it says in Isaiah 60, I am the Lord in its time.
-
I will accomplish it quickly. So then it will, then it will be
-
a quick word because God has got his moments ordained for favour
-
that things will move and it will move fast because God will
-
move fast and he'll be very, very quick.
-
And that is not luck. It's like all of a sudden, you
-
know, he's promoted to being Prime Minister because Joseph
-
was literally beat from prison, like to palace.
-
But that's not like that is God that moves fast.
-
It's God that steps in with his favour and he brings promotion.
-
Now this brings us to number six for an abundant rain, Holy Ghost
-
downpour. It releases the power of
-
acceleration and it says here, OK, I didn't put that one on.
-
I'll read it to you. It says the power of the Lord
-
came on Elijah. Now let's just think about oh,
-
and it says that he put his cloak, his belt, he ran ahead of
-
AAP all the way to Jeshara. OK, AAP is in the royal chariot.
-
He's got horses, the finest horses of the land.
-
OK, He's moving at maximum speed.
-
Yes, Elijah, he's on his, he's on his feet, OK?
-
And he had brands the chariot with the horses.
-
That is key. That's quick.
-
That's fast. And it's not because Elijah is
-
fast, because the Bible says the power of God came on him.
-
When abundant rain touches your life, it releases supernatural
-
speed in your career. Promotion comes all of a sudden
-
in your family, people get saved, miracle starts speeding
-
up, finances get placed and multiplication takes place.
-
And there is increase. When there is abundant
-
outpouring of rain, things speed up.
-
And we see this year with the profit after he's it containing
-
playing 6 * 7 times, walk out. All of a sudden there it is, the
-
breakthrough and it's fast, it's speedy.
-
Oh my goodness, I feel the anointing in this place.
-
Because when God says it is your time, you don't just move by the
-
world space. When God says it is your time,
-
you move with heaven space. Oh yes, you accelerate with
-
speed all Hallelujah. And this is your season of
-
acceleration and speed. God is about to redeem the time.
-
He's about to move you fast and shift you Fast forward,
-
Hallelujah. And so, yes, Ryan, the abundant,
-
it changed the pace. That's what revival rate does.
-
It changed the pace. OK, sometimes God, yes, he takes
-
little by little and there's time for growth and for
-
character building step by step. But that's not the only way he
-
works. There's times when he he moves
-
fast. He's a God of the suddenly when
-
he poured out this spirit on the book of Acts chapter 2, it
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
suddenly happened and there was a a wind.
-
And so he does it and moves fast.
-
Holy Ghost downpour things move fast, right?
-
Get ready for fast rain. Get somebody say get ready for
-
fast rain. Get ready for fast rain.
-
It's going to happen fast. OK.
-
And I believe today that there is an Elijah speed in this
-
place. I believe there's an anointing
-
for that in this place. I mean, God would not just
-
hardly preach this for now, I could preach a lot of other
-
things, but God said, listen, I want you to tell my people
-
there's an Elijah anointing. There's an Elijah for speed to
-
get things done in a very quick. Elijah's speed is about to be
-
reached. You are going to run fast.
-
You are going to run speedily. What took years to accomplish
-
will take you days. Come on, I feel the anointing.
-
What took years to accomplish? Yes, God says I can take days
-
and he can bring about a revival in your family.
-
He can bring a revival in our nation in our schools right by
-
might not by power, but by his spirit because when the spirit
-
of God comes, he say will be a chef.
-
There will be a chef. Oh Hallelujah, the book of Jewel
-
chapter 2 verse 23 since abundant showers verse 25 says
-
so I will restore you the yes, so that is the last one number
-
seven run in the rain. OK, there is power and it is for
-
fast running, fast speedy running.
-
Acts Chapter 1 When the Holy Ghost comes upon you, you will
Acts 1 chapter mention
-
see receive power to be my witnesses, the Holy Ghost, the
-
abundant rain outpouring. It is for speed, it is to run
-
fast, it is for movement, it's for mission.
-
When the Holy Ghost revival rain comes upon you, you will start
-
reaching out. You'll see souls safe.
-
You'll see you'll start winning souls.
-
You start believing for cities, or you'll start believing
-
stronger. When the Holy Ghost power comes
-
upon your life, the abundant rain, you'll be a witness.
-
You'll reach out to others. Revival rain.
-
It doesn't make spectators. Revival rain makes runners, fast
-
runners. And so as we get ready to close
-
this message when the rain comes, things shift.
-
I've seen this in many revival meetings, OK, Those moments when
-
the when the rain comes, OK, it happens very quickly and very
-
fast. Do not just stand in comfort of
-
the umbrella, please. OK, I really want you to get
-
this. When the the abundant rain, the
-
Holy Ghost out pouring fall, do not stay under the comfort zone,
-
OK of the umbrella run in the rain.
-
Oh, I really want because this is my our testimony run in the
-
rain. OK, because when it falls, when
-
that abundant rain falls, expect things to shift very quickly.
-
Divine appointments, divine connections because this is what
-
happened to us. Let me share with you our
-
testimony in closing because we this is what we decided to do to
-
run in the rain and this was last year.
-
OK, Now let me just break this down because only goes in fire
-
conference. That's where everything shifted.
-
When we planted this church and I'm going to this is amazing.
-
We planted this church with nothing.
-
God is my witness. We had nothing, OK?
-
We had no finances, no budget, no support from nobody.
-
Just a word for God. My son, plant a judge.
-
OK? So for many years, OK, we kept
-
on preach and there were Sundays.
-
OK, For six years there were Sundays.
-
We did not know how we'd come together for six years.
-
Don't stop at six. You hear this?
-
OK, We did not even know about hats, Doctor Brad Possible, and
-
we did not know about head office.
-
We did for six years. We were contending we will keep
-
on going. And then what happened after six
-
years? It was like, OK, Lord, where's
-
the cloud? Where's this?
-
The 7th year God connected us at the Holy Ghost and Fire
-
Conference. God supernaturally connected us,
-
brought us together that we could not do in our own.
-
We could not do that in our own strength.
-
God brought us together and the drought ended.
-
Hallelujah. And since then we've seen
-
acceleration, we've seen increase, we've seen lives
-
change, we've seen science. What is the miracles many live
-
science ministry lifted from glory to glory?
-
Why? Because we stepped into the
-
rain, Yes, abundant rain. That's what abundant rain does.
-
And so here's the part I want you to to get today.
-
Your 7th is coming. Maybe you've had real hard,
-
difficult times in certain areas of your life.
-
Maybe a drought for six years, many years.
-
I'm here to declare as a servant of God.
-
Drought is ending. Your servant is coming.
-
What God did before, he'll do it again.
-
What God's done for Revival Church, He can do it for you,
-
for your family, for our nation. He can do it.
-
God can do it. Hallelujah, miracle.
-
Your connection, your divine connection, your next level is
-
waiting for you in the rain. Some people like the comforts of
-
the umbrella. Get out in the rain.
-
Get out in that abundant rain. Run in the rain, church, run in
-
the rain. Listen, run in the rain, because
-
that's what happens. You see, The thing is what
-
happens is that when the rainfall, when the rain starts
-
whoring, it doesn't just fall around.
-
It's it falls on you. Because when abundant rain falls
-
on you, when abundant rain, the Holy Ghost out pouring touches
-
your life, run faster. You think clearer.
-
You believe stronger for bigger. Yeah, you dream bigger.
-
And so this is not just a message.
-
This is a prophetic announcement, declaration over
-
your life. The Holy Ghost reign.
-
It's coming. God is sending the rain.
-
Your drought is coming to an end.
-
This is your running season. Church run in the rain.
-
Come on, let's all stand together.
-
Let's give God some praise. Now that moment the rain came,
-
things happened fast. And so that's what I hear over
-
your life today. Things happen fast.
-
Whatever it is that you believe in God for, we believe God for
-
babies, for children. So God that it for us, he'll do
-
it for you in your monastery, whatever you believe in God for
-
in your business, your career is going to happen first because
-
God can bring you from a drought to a downpour in a moment.
-
He could do it in a moment from a drought to a downpour in a
-
moment like that, because when he moves, he moves fast.
-
And so we've heard the word. We are responding.
-
If you feel this in your spirit and it's stirring, this is a
-
word from heaven for you. This is acceleration.
-
This is your moment. And suddenly it's in your
-
spirit, it's burning in your spirit that you hear the sound
-
of abundance of rain. I want you to respond because
-
acceleration is in this place. If you're hungry for an downpour
-
of the Holy Ghost, for the power of God, the Holy Spirit is here.
-
The rain is ready, OK, so we're just going to receive.
-
And I want to pray for you so that I want you to raise your
-
hands to heaven. Let me pray over your Father.
-
We thank you for speaking to us today, Lord, that the drought is
-
ending and that the rain is coming.
-
And right now I pray over every person with that rain's hands,
-
every family represented here. Lord, I pray where there's been
-
a drought in health, let healing rain fall.
-
Restore bodies where there's been drought in mines, late
-
peace, rain down. Drive out fear, anxiety and
-
stress and depression. Where there's been drought in
-
finances, late provision, rain, open doors, bring more than
-
enough. Prosper your people.
-
Where there's been a drought in homes, in relationships, Lord
-
release, reconciliation. In homes, in marriages, in
-
children. I speak acceleration.
-
I speak speed over God's people. I speak a speedy, sudden turn
-
around, a sudden breakthrough, a sudden promotion and an open
-
door. A sudden blessing and healing
-
right now, now taking place. Miracles being released in
-
motion right now. I thank you all for mighty
-
outpouring of the Holy Ghost. I thank you, Holy Spirit.
-
We declare, let it rain. That's right.
-
Just declare it all for me. Let it rain in my life, in my
-
house, in this church, in this nation.
-
Halle, come on, let's put our house together.
-
Hallelujah. Yes, let it rain, Let it rain.
-
Come on, shut it, shut it, let it rain.
-
Let it rain. Yes, everybody say let it rain.
-
Say I hear the sound of the abundance of rain.
-
I won't stop at six. I will dig ditches.
-
There's about there's something about to happen, a brand new
-
thing and it's going to happen fast, speedily.
-
The abundance of rain is falling on my life.
-
My drought is ending. The rain is falling now give God
-
so Christ.
