Dance In The Rain | Evangelist Tyler Smith

Hallelujah. Come on.

Can we lift our hands all over this house tonight?

Can we lift our voices and just begin to talk to him in this

place? And surely the.

Presence of the Lord is in this house, and surely He's worthy of

all honor, all praise and all. Glory.

He's deserving. Of it tonight, he's deserving of

it every. Day from the rising of the sun

to the going down the same. His name is worthy.

His name is worthy. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

It feels good to be in the House of the Lord on a Monday night.

And the writer said, I was glad when they said unto me, let us

go into the House of the Lord. And I don't care if it's Monday,

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and even Saturday.

I'm just glad to be in the House of the Lord and to feel his

presence, to be with his people. And it's an honor, It's a

privilege to be here. If you've got your Bibles, I'd

like to take our attention. To the Book of.

Ezra chapter #2 It is such an honor and a privilege to be here

this week and certainly feel the presence of God in this house.

And I believe there's a. Refreshing in the Holy.

Ghost for us here tonight if we want it and there's strength in

this house. If we want it, it's here.

And and we give honor today to your leadership, Pastor and

Sister McGee. We love them and appreciate

them, appreciate their family, this church, such tremendous

host, always so kind. And appreciate your hospitality

to my wife and I. And we certainly say thank you.

Thank you very, very much. And this is revival.

This is revival. It's a wonderful night for

somebody to be strengthened and somebody to be helped tonight.

And Ezra chapter #2 I'm going to read one verse to us, and I'll

let us be seated. Verse #18 when you're there

shot. Amen.

The Bible says the. Children of Jorah 112, somebody

say God bless him. I don't want to be him.

The children of Jorah 112 I want to preach to us for just a few

moments tonight with the help of the Lord.

Ain't got a clue where we're going to get to, but I believe

the Lord's going to have his way in this house.

And but I want to talk to us from this subject.

Dance in the rain, dance in the rain.

I believe there's revival rains that are in this house and

there's a refreshing rain that is in this house tonight and.

Would you? Lift your hands.

Would you lift your hearts? Towards Heaven Tonight 1.

More time, would you? Talk to him.

God we love. You cheese.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Come on.

I think some of you ought to just go ahead and.

Press for just a moment to go. Ahead and lay aside every

weight, everything that's tried to beset you, everything that's

tried to bombard your mind. Go ahead and just cast it off.

Cast it aside and say, God, I'm going to be receptive to what

you have for me tonight, God. God, I'm not going to push away

the refreshing that you have for my mind and my body and my

spirit tonight, God. God, I believe there's a

refreshing rain for First Apostolic Church.

Oh God, would you have your way in this house tonight?

Lord God, would you accomplish what only you can accomplish

tonight In the name of Jesus, in the name of.

Jesus. In the name of Jesus, somebody

shout in. Jesus name in Jesus name.

Before you're seated, would you clap your hands?

Unto the. Lord, in the Jesus name, in

Jesus name, in Jesus name, you can be seated tonight.

God bless you. I know this has.

Already been echoed, but I want to echo it as well.

Thank you so much for being in the House of the Lord tonight on

a Monday night. And I am certainly very much

appreciative, just as your pastor and his wife and family

are, that you are here because the.

Truth is, if you weren't here. I wouldn't have nobody to preach

to tonight. And so I'm very grateful that

you are here tonight and I, I certainly hope you'll be here

tomorrow night and Wednesday night.

And because I believe the Lords got greater things in store for

us this week. Somebody say ma'am.

For most casual readers, you just might miss it if you're

simply skimming through the scriptures because the truth.

Is tonight it's. Just a name.

That rhymes with. Dora that is found amongst a

list of other names. There's no mention of miracles.

There's no armies conquered, you won't find where there is any

sea splits, you cannot find where he escaped the lion's den

unharmed, and you certainly won't read the scriptures of

where he came out of the fiery furnace unharmed without the

smell of smoke. Because it's simply a name.

And I don't know about you, but I'm sometimes guilty of skimming

the scriptures when there's just a.

Bunch of names. But this is a hidden name that's

found amongst many other names. It's it's just a name, a name

Jorah. And while to many it's just a

name, a hidden name, you and I know that God never includes

something for nothing. Throughout the word of God,

there are no moments where he just wasted words or wasted ink

in the word of God. The Bible is not full of

prophecy to simply fill the pages for us.

The Bible is not full of instruction and inspiration so

that we have something cool to talk about.

The truth is God never includes something for nothing.

The Bible teaches us that prophecy came not in old time by

the will of man, by holy men of God spake as they were moved by

the Holy Ghost. The writer would declare to us

all scripture is profitable, is given by the inspiration of God,

is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for

instruction and righteousness. All scripture is profitable

because God never includes something for nothing.

After all, the writer tells us that we know that all things

work together for the good to them that love God to them who

are the called according to His purpose, because God does not

include something for nothing. Can I tell us tonight there's

not one of us sitting here that was sitting here for nothing.

There's not one of us sitting here tonight just to feel a

seed. But there is a purpose behind

the reason that you and I are in the Pew.

There's purpose behind the fact that we're in revival on a

Monday night. I believe we can receive victory

because we're in revival. We can receive joy unspeakable

and full of. Glory, because here.

There's purpose behind us being here in this.

Moment in this moment. There's purpose behind this

hidden name that we find on the pages of our text in Ezra

chapter #2 you will find you will find in Hebrew that jorah

means the first rain or the autumn rain.

It's the early rain that softens the ground after a long dry

season. Stay with me for just a few

moments In the Bible days. Israel knew what drought would

feel like, both naturally and spiritually.

The Bible will frequently tell us of days of their days of

drought as a consequence of their actions.

The days of drought, there was no doubt, had an effect on their

lives, on their food, on their water sources.

It affected their chances of survival.

But while Israel knew what drought felt like, both

naturally and spiritually, there would come a time through the

prophet Joel that God would promise that He will cause to

come down for you. The rain or the former rain and

the latter rain. Understand with me tonight,

Church. The former rain refers to the

autumn rain or the Jorah rain. In Israel.

This was the rain that was essential for softening the

ground. It was the first rain through

the prophet goddess. I'm going to pour out what is

needed. My measured provision will not

be missing in the season of Chora.

I believe. I believe Chora.

By name was a. Prophetic reminder.

That God has a way of sending you what you need, when you need

it. And can I remind the church?

On a Monday. Night that, that is just what.

God is still doing. For First Apostolic Church, He

is sending you what you need, when you need it.

I believe God's trying to tell somebody tonight.

I'll send you the right. Person at the right.

Time. I'll put you in the right place

at the right time. After all, I am still Jehovah

Jireh. I am still the Lord that

provides. I am still God.

I am still God, and my God shall supply every need according to

His riches and glory in Christ Jesus.

The rain may start small, but it's starting.

The. Healing may start small, but I

believe there's evidence that it's starting.

And I believe tonight we ought to rejoice in the Lord our God

because our blessing is not just in the rain.

We rejoice because we know we serve a God that is faithful day

after day, week after week, month after month.

It. May have been dry for a little

while, but there's a rain that's falling.

Upon first Apostolic Church. That is worth rejoicing.

About. It's a rain that's softening the

ground. I believe God is sending this

church what you need when you need it.

There's hope in this. House there's.

Healing in this house The power of the Holy Ghost is in this

house I. Wish you lift your hands with

them for just a moment. What we need is in this place.

What we need is in this house. Tonight I don't need to feel

good. Tonight, I just need a touch of

the master. Tonight I just need his shrink.

I just need his presence. I just need his.

Power what you and I have. Need of tonight is in this.

House tonight, it's not up the street.

It's not around the corner, it's right here.

At First Apostolic Church. Is where your hope is found.

Oh if you believe that, would you clap your hands unto the

Lord? Come on, I wish you a clap a

little bit louder like you believe that God is sending you

what you need when you need it. In Ezra chapter #2 the Bible

tells us the children of Jorah 112.

I'll say it again, I don't want to.

Be him. But you got to understand, I

don't have time to read all of this tonight, But you got to

understand if you was to read the Ezra chapter #2 you would

find a genealogical listing, A roll call of those who returned

from Babylon to Jerusalem. I was those that returned to

rebuild the temple to re establish life life.

You can read it for yourself and you can find individuals that

were leaders and you can find individuals that were priests

and Levites and servants. You can find a lot of great

people listed in Ezra chapter 2. But also, you can find everyday

Ezra 2 · chapter mention

families like the children of Jorah.

You can find everyday people like you and I that show up to

church on a Monday night of revival.

You can find everyday people like us who are standing in the

shadows, just us and our family or you and your family.

Can I tell you, while it's true we can't read a lot about Jorah

and his family, we don't know a lot about their history.

We don't know a lot about their children.

We just know because they're listed there that they showed up

and they came back and I've come to preach to some people on a

Monday night that feel like I'm just in the shadows.

I'm just here. I'm just here on a Monday night.

I feel overlooked. I feel like I'm nobody cares

about me. I'm hearing the lies of the

adversary that says I'm insignificant, that my family

doesn't matter, that I'm just a janitor, that I'm just a.

Part of the praise. Team, I've come to tell them the

church tonight, the role that you play in the Kingdom of God,

it matters because the truth is you don't have to be loud to be

faithful and you don't have to be famous to be fruitful.

But when you made-up your mind I'm coming to revival, it made a

difference. It made a difference in the

house when you chose to come to church.

You don't understand. All I do around here is adjust

the sound. Am I all right?

Am I all right? I'm going to shut my eyes so I

can't hear you. I don't remember what I'm

supposed to say. Clock it you'll.

Clock that 750. Clock that you don't understand.

I'm just here because Pastor said I had to be here anyway.

I'm here. You don't understand the role

that I play. I'm just the first one in the

prayer room praying that the Holy Ghost will move.

You don't understand the role that I play.

I just play my instrument and I just pray for pastor and his

family. You don't understand.

What I do is no, no, it's not insignificant.

The role that you're playing in this church is key to the

revival that is taking place in the church.

I'm going to come over here and preach a little while.

Can I tell you the role that you play in this church?

It matters. It's making a difference to

what's happening in this city. It's making a difference to

what's happening. What we felt.

Sunday morning what we? Felt Sunday.

Night. What we feel right now is

because somebody made-up in their mind, I'm going to show

up, I'm going to roll up my sleeves.

I'm going to be a part of Revival in Mount Carmel, IL

because somebody showed up. It's not insignificant.

It does matter. Tired, it matters.

Don't feel good. It matters I ain't got all my

ducks in a row. It matters I ain't got

everything together. It matters.

It matters that you walk through those doors on a.

Monday night 'cause I. Believe something's going to get

down inside of your spirit that. Says this ain't just.

Another Monday night service. There's revival happening in

here, there's a rain that's falling, there's a glory that's

being released in this house. The devil is a liar, I said.

The devil is a liar. The fact that you made-up in

your mind, I'm showing up. It made a difference when you

made the declaration. As for me in my house, we're

going to serve the Lord. It made a difference.

It made a difference when you're made-up in your mind.

I'm going to pursue the promise that God has for me and.

My family, I may not get the recognition I want, but thank

God I get the revival that the church deserves, that the church

needs, that the church desires. I heard it said once that

sometimes the greatest legacy isn't the one written, it's the

one walked out in the rain when Jorah made his way back, his way

back to rebuild, when he left in pursuit of his promise, in

pursuit of everything that was designed to be rebuilt.

I just believe Church, something got inside of his spirit that

said I'm going to dance in the rain.

I'm not going to wait for the rain to stop so I can stare at

everything pretty that's been produced because of the rain.

I'm going to. Learn how to dance.

In the rain with. Every step back.

I believe something got. Inside of His Spirit.

That said, I'm not just going to enjoy the sights and the sounds.

I'm going to rejoice over what God is doing as the promised

provision is being poured out. I believe we're.

Living in our church where we don't have to wait for the

fulfillment of everything before we rejoice about what God is

doing in this hour. Dancing is biblical.

I hope you brought your dancing shoes.

Because it's biblical. You don't believe me?

You can find in Exodus 15 that dancing is a natural response to

God's goodness and mercy. The women danced to celebrate

the Israelites deliverance from Egypt.

You can find in Luke 15 there was dancing as the prodigal son

made his way back home. You can find in First Samuel 18

as the victorious troops were returning home after killing the

Philistines. There was dancing and there was

singing. I still believe it's Apostolic

that we dance unto the Lord. That's why the Bible.

Said let them praise his name in the dance.

Praise him with a. Tremble and a dance.

I know there's a time to weep and there's a time to laugh, but

there's also a time to dance. There's a time to rejoice.

There's a time to be excited about what God is doing.

David dance before the Lord with all of his mind.

That means don't worry about and I believe First Apostolic Church

has every right to dance as God is softening the ground, as God

is preparing the harvest for this season, I'm glad.

That I don't have to wait for 100 Soul Revival to get excited.

Because I know. When rain is falling, the ground

is softening, and that's enough. That's enough in itself to

rejoice about. The fact that the rain is

falling is enough to rejoice about.

God have mercy. I wouldn't embarrass nobody for

nothing, but I'm so glad this sister's here tonight, I said.

I'm so glad you're here tonight. I'm glad she's in this house

tonight because it's proof that God is softening the ground,

that God is softening the ground for what is getting ready to

come. We may not understand.

It all but I just know I don't have to wait.

Till there's a. Hundred of these.

Sisters, I can rejoice because. There's one in the house.

I can rejoice the fact that there's.

One in this place. That says, hey, I got to get

hold of something. I don't know about you, but I'm

glad tonight to know that God is still drawing, that God is still

bringing in the harvest, that God is still restoring lives.

It's worth rejoicing about. It's worth being excited about

because. It won't be long.

And your sons and daughters are? Coming.

And your grandchildren are coming.

It's worth dancing in the rain. It's worth being excited about

what God is doing in this hour. It's worth being excited about.

I know some of y'all are thinking.

I don't know if I can do what Bishop McGee just did.

Yeah, I believe you can do it. I believe you can rejoice over

what God is doing. Can I take us we?

All got reason to dance. We all.

The fact that we're breathing tonight is a reason to rejoice.

The fact that there's life in the church, the fact that God is

working is reason, isn't enough to rejoice.

My God, it feels good in this house, I said.

It feels good in this house. It feels good in this place.

Feels like a place where we can dance, I said.

It feels like a place where we can dance.

We can dance unto the Lord because he's a good God, I said.

He's a good God. He's a good God.

Some of y'all think I ran out of words.

I ain't ran out of words. The Holy Ghost is in this house

right now and some of you are going to have to grab a hold of

this that there's enough strength in this house to dance

in the midst of your miracle dance.

If you ain't got no other reason, you can rejoice because

the rain is softening the ground.

There's a rain in this house that is bringing.

Revival. We can dance because we can look

around. And see what the Lord has done,

how He's healed our bodies, how He's.

Touched our minds how he saved us just.

In time. I know the adversary fed you the

liar that the drought was going to be forever, but there's

provision in this house. There's provision in this

sanctuary. I just believe that God is

getting ready to turn our morning in the dancing.

I just believe there's a joy releasing in this house.

Come on, there's a rain in this house.

Come on, there's a rain in this. House There's a rain.

In this house that's. Happening right now, you want to

go ahead and dance in. The rain In the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus. Right now, in the name of Jesus.

Every spirit of sadness be lifted, every spirit of

depression be lifted, every spirit of anxiety be lifted.

Let the oil of joy fall in this house.

In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, come on.

The Holy Ghost is in this house. The Holy Ghost is in this house.

Every hand lifted, everybody praying across this house in

the. Name of Jesus.

Come on, there's joy in this altar right now.

Come on, there's joy in this altar right now.

There's peace in this altar right now.

There's a refreshing in this. Altar.

Right now there's joy, unspeakable and full of glory.

It's in this house. It's what you've been praying

for. It's what you've been believing

for. It's what you've been fasting

for. It's what you've been craving.

It's in this house. Yes, yes, Yes, God.

Yes God, yes God come on there's more in this house.

They just need to make their way out of their seed and make their

way around the Salter. Right now the Holy Ghost is

doing the work. Right now, the.

Spirit of God is doing the. Work right now.

There's a refreshing in the Salter.

The strength that you need is. Right here.

The hope that you need is right here.

I would step out of my seed. I'd make my.

Way around the Salter. And say, God, let it rain on me,

God, let it fall. Follow me God, I've showed up.

Now bless me. Yes, Yes.

Yes, yes, yes. Come on.

Here it is. In the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus. Here it is the.

Healing that you've been wanting, it's here in this

house. It's here in this sanctuary.

It's here, it's here, it's here. I can't explain it, but it's

here. God, it's here.

God, it's here. It's here.

Come on. Heaven already knows you showed

up tonight. Heaven already knows that you

made your way into his house. Heaven already knows.

That you made your way here, you're on the list.

You're on heaven's. List tonight he.

Wants to touch you. He wants to help you.

He wants. To save you, it's here.

You're Lobo. Yes God.

Yes God. Yes, God, Every stronghold be

torn down in the name of Jesus, every high thing that exalts

itself against the knowledge of God.

Oh God, we're bringing into captivity to the obedience of

Christ right now. In the name of Jesus, In the

name of Jesus, every lie be torn down.

Every lie be torn. Down every lie.

Be torn down. God, let your truth.

Come alive. Let your truth be resurrected in

our. Lives.

In our minds. In our spirits tonight.

Come on. There it is.

There it is. It's the revival that you

thought you'd never have. It's the revival that you

thought you'd never experienced in your whole life.

It's the revival that the Adversary said you would never

have. But it's yours tonight.

It's yours tonight. It's for you tonight.
