00:01:10,160 and I hope you enjoy them. 16 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,160 God bless. 17 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,160 Amen. 18 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,160 God bless you. 19 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,360 Let's get our Bibles out and turn to Acts chapter 2, 17 through 19. 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,840 And then verses 21 I want to look at this morning. 21 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:28,960 It was December 26, 2004, when a 9.0 earthquake shook a region of the world. 22 00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:34,240 It was from pressure that was built up for over two centuries, and it was all released 23 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,840 in a single moment. 24 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:43,140 According to seismologists, the quake was responsible for a massive Asian tsunami that 25 00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:46,920 impacted multiple countries and not just one. 26 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:54,280 So this was the equivalent of 0.25 gigatons of TNT, and the energy that was released was 27 00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:00,800 so huge, it caused the Earth to wobble on its axis up to an inch. 28 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:06,220 It also changed the local geography, shifting islands by inches or feet. 29 00:02:06,220 --> 00:02:12,140 It made noticeable impact on the topography of the seabed, and geophysicists termed it 30 00:02:12,140 --> 00:02:13,140 a megathrust. 31 00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:18,960 And I want to preach this morning on supernatural power for the last days out of Acts chapter 32 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,680 2, beginning in verse 17, and it shall come to pass. 33 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,960 We know that it's going to be so. 34 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:29,920 In the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. 35 00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,440 Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. 36 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,000 Your young men shall see visions. 37 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,640 Your old men shall dream dreams. 38 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,960 And on my men servants and on my maid servants, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and 39 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,360 they shall prophesy. 40 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:54,080 I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs in the earth beneath, and it shall come 41 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,600 to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 42 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,360 God, we're asking for your anointing today, your word to come alive. 43 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,760 We're asking for a supernatural releasing of your power right now. 44 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,800 Help us today, Lord. 45 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,160 We want to know your will, and we want to do it in Jesus' name. 46 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,160 Amen. 47 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,840 First of all, look at power for the last days. 48 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:22,440 And I believe what we see in the natural, there's always a parallel in the spiritual 49 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,600 realm. 50 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,960 And in these last days, there's coming a move of the Holy Spirit once again. 51 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:34,280 It's a sudden thrusting forth of God's power upon a new generation. 52 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,460 We respect those that have gone before us. 53 00:03:36,460 --> 00:03:39,920 We honor them because we will not be here without them. 54 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,500 But what God is going to do in this final generation is upon a generation that does 55 00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:46,500 not know God. 56 00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:51,480 It is a visible and tangible move of God. 57 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:57,200 This will bring radical change in the lives of believers that enables them to move into 58 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,880 the fullness of what God intends for them to have. 59 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,880 And I know this morning there are many things that God wants us to have. 60 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,160 But the question is, are we walking in what he wants of us? 61 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,800 We'll enter into a new season of fruitfulness to become all that he intends for us to be 62 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,640 as his church, entering this new dimension will be a time when God's going to release 63 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:27,520 his power in the greatest manifestations we have yet to see. 64 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,920 Everything we have heard about, everything we have read about will happen again. 65 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,080 And I've always believed as my pastor had instructed me, Pastor Cluck and Pastor Mitchell, 66 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,320 they believe that another healing revival would come again in the last days. 67 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:50,560 Plus more, these supernatural signs will happen in conjunction with the preaching of the gospel. 68 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,840 We believe that we are commissioned to go into all the world and declare that we serve 69 00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,420 a living God. 70 00:04:57,420 --> 00:04:59,760 It is not just another religion. 71 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,880 We are not just another church on the block. 72 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,280 But we believe that when we go into these cities and nations that God is going to be 73 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:13,040 with us and supernatural signs will follow what we do. 74 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,160 The word of God must be preached. 75 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,400 But the kingdom of God is not just in word. 76 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,120 It's in the power. 77 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:29,840 We must never believe that God's power is limited to an era of miracles as some believe. 78 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:35,440 Miracles are never meant to cease, but to continue and to perpetuate and to build up 79 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,300 to a moment that there's a thrusting forth of God's power. 80 00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:43,180 We know this morning that we serve an unchanging God. 81 00:05:43,180 --> 00:05:44,840 That's why we're here today. 82 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:50,120 The Bible says that he's the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. 83 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,160 He's the same today as he's always been. 84 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,480 He is not limited by time nor by space. 85 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,800 From the very day he created the world until today, we know that signs and wonders have 86 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,520 testified of his unlimited power. 87 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,080 He's a God of power who always demonstrates that he's alive. 88 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,580 Such wonders as the creation of the universe and humanity, the creation of God's chosen 89 00:06:16,580 --> 00:06:22,040 people out of the miracle child, Isaac, the deliverance of Israelites from the Egyptian 90 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,280 bondage that they came out of. 91 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:29,120 We know the miracles that were manifest through the prophets, the miracles that were demonstrated 92 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,600 through Jesus, the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, the miracles manifest through the 93 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,940 disciples and the early church, miracles that worked through spirit-led believers over the 94 00:06:39,940 --> 00:06:43,200 past two millennia. 95 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:50,640 So great as these miracles are, remember that God does not limit himself to a specific manifestation 96 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,640 or method. 97 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:57,860 In fact, a lot of times what he likes to do is move outside of the box. 98 00:06:57,860 --> 00:07:01,080 When we're one-dimensional thinking it has to know God says, I could do whatever I want 99 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,080 to do. 100 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,980 I move outside of what is expected of you. 101 00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:09,360 God loves to break up our preconceived notions. 102 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,920 We must not limit his working to certain miracles that he has demonstrated in the past. 103 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,960 In other words, don't put God in a box. 104 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:25,240 Don't believe that God is confined to a certain time or space where you begin to limit him 105 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,780 to what you think he should do and how he should do it. 106 00:07:29,780 --> 00:07:31,320 You're not God. 107 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,120 You're not in control. 108 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,000 And the Bible that I read, God loves to move outside the box when we think we can contain 109 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,240 them. 110 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,760 And in these end times, there will be such a demonstration of God's power that there 111 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,440 will be nothing that can be compared to it. 112 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,560 We've seen great moves of God. 113 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,940 I love studying revival. 114 00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:54,800 You have the Welsh revival. 115 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,080 Evan Roberts was at the center of that. 116 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,440 You have the Azusa Street revival. 117 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,140 William Seymour that was the catalyst of that movement. 118 00:08:03,140 --> 00:08:07,920 We have the Latter Rain revival, many healing evangelists that came across America, set 119 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,240 up their tents and saw supernatural miracles. 120 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,720 We have the Jesus People movement, which we come out of. 121 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,040 We come out of a move of God. 122 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,480 We are a movement, no doubt, in the earth. 123 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,520 But what's to come is even greater than what we've seen before. 124 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,100 And we believe that the Lord says the best for last. 125 00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:35,800 In the 20th century alone, we have witnessed one of the greatest signs of Christ's coming. 126 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,000 That is the rebirth of the nation of Israel. 127 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,240 That is the regathering of Jews from around the world. 128 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,600 This has been assigned to this final generation. 129 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:52,920 That this is fulfillment of the prophecies given to Israel thousands of years before 130 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,720 that God supernaturally intervened upon their behalf. 131 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,160 What did he do? 132 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:06,280 Proving his word to be true and that he is in fact a supernatural God. 133 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,400 The nation of Israel is a living testimony to that fact. 134 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,280 That God is still manifesting his miracle power today. 135 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,840 We're not meant to explain God. 136 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,600 We're not explaining the Bible here this morning. 137 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,960 We are declaring and we are demonstrating. 138 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,960 It's proof that God has never changed to all the naysayers. 139 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,480 This is one of the greatest signs and wonders ever manifested to the world. 140 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,200 It is through Israel. 141 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,960 Isaiah chapter 66 verse 7 and 8. 142 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,840 Before she was in labor she gave birth. 143 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,620 Before her pain she came she delivered a male child. 144 00:09:45,620 --> 00:09:47,760 Who has heard such a thing? 145 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,960 Who has seen such things? 146 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,520 Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? 147 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,520 Or shall a nation be born at once? 148 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:02,840 Or as soon as Zion was in labor she gave birth to her children. 149 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:10,440 So keep in mind it's these demonstrations and many other prophetic signs being fulfilled 150 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,920 and remember that they're heralding one thing. 151 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,080 That Jesus Christ is coming back. 152 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:23,000 How many believe that today that Jesus Christ is still coming very soon? 153 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,120 This is why we believe that there is an acceleration. 154 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,580 There is a stirring of the Holy Ghost in the church today. 155 00:10:31,580 --> 00:10:33,020 Not because we're so great. 156 00:10:33,020 --> 00:10:35,560 Not because we have everything together. 157 00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:42,560 But there is an acceleration because Jesus Christ is coming very soon. 158 00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:47,520 Just as God will continue to manifest his power in fulfilling his prophetic purposes 159 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:54,320 for Israel there is always a spiritual parallel with the last days church. 160 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,800 Meaning he's going to manifest his power in his church. 161 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,080 He wants it into the fullness of what he intends it to be. 162 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,440 He intends for us to be a church of power in these end times. 163 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:12,920 Ephesians chapter 4 verse 13 the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. 164 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:19,760 This is what we need, this is what we proclaim that God you can come and abide in our churches. 165 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,120 That you can show up in power, that you can heal the sick, that you can deliver lives, 166 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,400 that you can move in gifts of the Holy Ghost beyond what we can say you can do whatever 167 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,360 you please. 168 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:40,800 The primary sign Jesus said would signal his coming is found in Matthew chapter 24. 169 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:46,000 This was an answer to the disciples questions and one of these questions was found in verse 170 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,520 3. 171 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,880 What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age? 172 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,600 Jesus said in verse 14 and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world 173 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:06,680 as a witness to all the nations and then the end will come. 174 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:10,000 That word sign in verse 3 is translated in the Greek. 175 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,000 Simeon. 176 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,080 This refers to miraculous acts and visible demonstrations of power. 177 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,360 So in other words healing deliverances and miracles will accompany the preach word of 178 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:28,600 the gospel that this is the witness at the very end of the world that our God is alive. 179 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,400 That we serve a living Christ. 180 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,000 Yes that he died upon the cross. 181 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,360 He was buried but on the third day he rose from the dead and the Bible says that same 182 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:44,680 spirit that raised Jesus from the dead shall dwell in your mortal bodies. 183 00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:48,900 Hallelujah. 184 00:12:48,900 --> 00:12:51,720 We believe that God will part his spirit and power. 185 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,720 Why is that? 186 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,000 Because we know what we are. 187 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,360 I'm not smart enough. 188 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,680 I know what I am. 189 00:12:57,680 --> 00:12:59,580 He does that to enable us. 190 00:12:59,580 --> 00:13:02,080 My confidence is not in my flesh. 191 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,240 I'm not intellectual enough. 192 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:12,480 He does that to enable us to fulfill the destiny of the end time generation before Jesus comes 193 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,360 and all that God is doing today. 194 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,240 He's calling us to move with the coming wave of power. 195 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,080 He's saying move out with me. 196 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,640 Step into the flow. 197 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,720 This will be a fulfillment of the sign so that we are not left out and all that God 198 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,840 wants to do. 199 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:35,280 He wants his commission as followers to make disciples of the nations. 200 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,680 You know getting someone saved is somewhat easy. 201 00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:40,560 Hey can I pray a prayer with you? 202 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:42,480 Say this prayer after me. 203 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,600 But making disciples is something entirely different and this is what the Lord wants 204 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,440 to make disciples of the nations. 205 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:56,720 We know that have made progress but of the eight billion people in the world today 40% 206 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,160 are considered unreached. 207 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,920 Where are these places? 208 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,560 We know it still comes inside the 1040 window. 209 00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:11,100 More specifically it's China, India, Pakistan, the Middle East and Northern Africa. 210 00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:17,800 So the question that comes out of that how can we reach them before Christ returns? 211 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:25,220 How can we reach all these people unless there is a major outpouring of the Holy Spirit in 212 00:14:25,220 --> 00:14:27,340 supernatural power? 213 00:14:27,340 --> 00:14:33,560 I'm talking about doing what we do yes but there is an added dimension of God on our 214 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,560 labors. 215 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,640 Secondly, I'll look at a new season. 216 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:44,480 So God wants us to set our eyes on this new season he'll bring us into because that is 217 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,480 what it is. 218 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,400 It is a new season. 219 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:54,240 We cannot compare what God is going to do in this time to what he has done before. 220 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,080 You may think this morning well I'm not a pastor. 221 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,120 I'm just a disciple. 222 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,560 How can I be used by God? 223 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,080 Think of all the miracles in connection with Elijah. 224 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,780 The Bible says he was a human just like the rest of us. 225 00:15:08,780 --> 00:15:11,400 So that speaks for all of us this morning. 226 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:17,160 Regardless of what ministry you have or you don't have yet God used him in a powerful 227 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,280 way and God can and wants to do the same with us today. 228 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:30,040 James chapter 5 16 through 18 the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much 229 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:36,640 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours and he prayed earnestly. 230 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,760 Prayer is a good thing still that it would not rain and it did not rain on the land for 231 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:48,680 three years and six months and he prayed again and heaven gave rain and the earth produced 232 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,920 its fruit. 233 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:57,320 So God desires to use everyday people right where they live and right where they work. 234 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:02,880 He wants you to manifest his power to save and heal wherever you go. 235 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,160 He wants to breathe new life into the church to even bring us to the place where he can 236 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,440 use us in this way because this doesn't doesn't just happen. 237 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:19,260 If he's in chapter 4 12 through 13 his intention was the perfecting and the full equipping 238 00:16:19,260 --> 00:16:24,320 of the saints that they should do the work of ministering towards building up Christ's 239 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,840 body the church that it might develop until we all attain oneness in the faith in the 240 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:37,160 comprehension of the full and accurate knowledge of the son of God that we might arrive at 241 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,920 really mature manhood and completeness of personality which is nothing less than the 242 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:47,560 standard high the Christ on perfection the measure of the stature of the fullness of 243 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,280 the Christ and the completeness found in him. 244 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:59,000 So we know that Jesus gave the church the Holy Spirit his plan is for us to grow and 245 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,840 to mature until we are living in the fullness of his power. 246 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,960 That's what we are desiring today. 247 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:12,420 God give me power enable me so that I can make a difference where I go. 248 00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:19,400 Our spiritual ignorance fear and unbelief and even neglect can quench the spirit from 249 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,280 manifesting himself in our midst. 250 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,320 I get tired of church service as usual I was raised in this fellowship. 251 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,220 God save us from boring church services where we fall asleep. 252 00:17:31,220 --> 00:17:33,060 We need the Holy Ghost. 253 00:17:33,060 --> 00:17:35,780 We need the fire at Pentecost to fall. 254 00:17:35,780 --> 00:17:41,980 Think of it Christ has made every provision for us to enable us to accomplish the work 255 00:17:41,980 --> 00:17:45,720 that he has been has given us before he returns. 256 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,000 The church today has reached the point of no return. 257 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:56,280 We're facing a desperate world unparalleled in history that can only be met by a church 258 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:04,240 that rises up in the supernatural power of God and I believe this is the only way another 259 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:10,960 generation is arising that desperately needs to see and experience his miracles. 260 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,720 We live in a generation they're just zoned out. 261 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,600 They're zombies. 262 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:21,740 They need to be shaken out of their apathy and that can only come by the power of God. 263 00:18:21,740 --> 00:18:26,960 They need to know that God is alive that God is alive in our churches. 264 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,040 They need to see him at work. 265 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:36,100 Our goal isn't to focus just on the miraculous but our focus is on a supernatural God who's 266 00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:38,060 still alive today. 267 00:18:38,060 --> 00:18:43,720 This isn't dead religion but a living faith and that's what we declare going into these 268 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,340 nations. 269 00:18:45,340 --> 00:18:50,880 How can we compete with other religions that have been there for thousands of years? 270 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,040 You're not going to get your Bible and say turn with me to the scripture. 271 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,040 Let me show. 272 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,780 No they need to see power. 273 00:18:56,780 --> 00:19:00,940 They need to see that you're God's alive because they have their spiritual book as well which 274 00:19:00,940 --> 00:19:03,440 they believe is old as the Bible. 275 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,060 So how can you compare scripture to scripture? 276 00:19:06,060 --> 00:19:11,860 You can't you need a dimension of God that our God is with us and he's alive. 277 00:19:11,860 --> 00:19:14,200 He's setting captives free. 278 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,640 He's healing the sick before our eyes. 279 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:23,500 He's causing the lame to walk and the blind to see and the deaf to hear. 280 00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:28,660 As his powers manifest into the nations to the church we know that doors for the gospel 281 00:19:28,660 --> 00:19:31,320 will open that were once closed. 282 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,160 We always know that we have to act now. 283 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,320 The Holy Spirit has always desired to reveal Jesus to the nations in the fullness of his 284 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,920 glory through the church. 285 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:48,280 These end time ministries won't be limited to inside of the church but it will take place 286 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,160 in the streets where people are found. 287 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:56,160 God save us from formalism that we forget where we come from and what God has done in 288 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:02,140 the past that we become so churchy that God can never break in and pour out a spirit on 289 00:20:02,140 --> 00:20:06,200 a generation that must see God. 290 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:13,280 As believers moving to this dimension signs and wonders will once again be an everyday 291 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,620 function of the church. 292 00:20:15,620 --> 00:20:19,360 You know miracles should no longer be the exception but the norm. 293 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:24,360 Some guys they pray for people and they're like whoa you got healed? 294 00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:26,640 That should be the norm. 295 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,080 I don't look at miracles as something amazing. 296 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,640 No this is the Bible. 297 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:37,720 What it takes for revival to break out in a nation is a supernatural demonstration of 298 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,280 Pentecost. 299 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:45,400 We are Pentecostals today and we always believe that the element that we must have in our 300 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,880 ministries is a Pentecostal dimension. 301 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,360 Some guys I'm sorry you'd make good Baptist. 302 00:20:54,360 --> 00:21:03,120 Many nations and cities have dead formal churches everywhere but what they lack is an on fire 303 00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:05,760 Pentecostal experience. 304 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,140 We believe that our churches can have these experiences around the altar. 305 00:21:11,140 --> 00:21:14,360 It's not just intellectualism knowing Christ up here. 306 00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:19,680 It's having an experience down in your heart that you know that God has touched you and 307 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:25,240 saved you from your sin and puts you on the right path. 308 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,520 Lastly we'll look at characteristics of this dimension. 309 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,320 There are a few characteristics of the coming move of God's power that will position the 310 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,720 church to bring in the greatest harvest ever seen. 311 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,200 Divine enablement is always connected to reaching the harvest. 312 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,940 That's the end game. 313 00:21:44,940 --> 00:21:46,180 It's always the loss. 314 00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:52,040 Number one we believe that God moves through the church. 315 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,760 We still believe in the church regardless of all the scandals that we hear today. 316 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,640 It's still the church. 317 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,580 Number one God will bring radical change in the church for the purpose of bringing it 318 00:22:03,580 --> 00:22:07,960 to a new level of spiritual maturity and authority. 319 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,600 And because of this he'll channel through the church supernatural power and I declare 320 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:19,040 this morning that divine power is undeniable proof. 321 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:26,160 You can argue all day long with the LDS, the JWs, how your Bibles real, your Bibles show 322 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,800 your stance. 323 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,760 But what breaks all that is undeniable proof. 324 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,360 Secondly God will bring the church to a new level of revelation to where he'll reveal 325 00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:39,960 himself in intimate relationship. 326 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:46,880 The glory of God is always manifest in a midst of a people who truly know him and not just 327 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,960 know about him. 328 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,920 What I needed in my life as a church kid is to know him intimately. 329 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:54,920 I knew about him. 330 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,560 I heard all the greatest preachers. 331 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:57,840 It didn't move me. 332 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:03,520 What moved me is when the spirit of God became real and came down and met me on my level 333 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:09,680 and began to move in my heart and convict me of the way that I was living. 334 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:16,560 Thirdly, they'll be called out believers who give themselves fully to God. 335 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,960 They'll be empowered to do the work of the ministry. 336 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,800 Who are these people? 337 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,340 Common church members who'll be used in the miraculous. 338 00:23:26,340 --> 00:23:31,880 Long gone are the days of the specially anointed preachers. 339 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,520 We're not about personalities here. 340 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,360 Oh, he's my favorite and rank. 341 00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:39,200 There shouldn't be no rank. 342 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,880 It's about the people. 343 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,840 It's about those sitting out in the audience. 344 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,720 It's about empowering the church. 345 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,080 Common people that can do the works of God in a mighty way. 346 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:56,840 Forfully, a wave of God's power will sweep across cities and nations. 347 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:02,000 This is a final end time demonstration and a result in revival. 348 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,520 All we do is to remain faithful in what we've been doing. 349 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,480 All we are to do is to step out in the flow of revival. 350 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,160 God has been preparing us for this moment as the church. 351 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,480 And I believe that with all my heart, everything that we do, everything that we know to do, 352 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:27,440 I believe has been set in motion by God for this very moment that we're going to see revival, 353 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,240 that God is going to breathe upon America, that God is going to breathe upon the nations 354 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:38,560 of the earth in these in times. 355 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:44,080 You see, this move of God will be like a mighty rushing river. 356 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,640 And the imagery is that it's flowing throughout the nations. 357 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,280 It's like the great river of life that the angels show John. 358 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,080 He was flowing out from the throne of God. 359 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:01,800 And in this river, it poured forth new life, healing power and anointing. 360 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,200 Here it flowed. 361 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,120 Something began to happen. 362 00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:11,040 And everywhere that this stream is going to flow, there will be growth. 363 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,680 There will be fruitfulness and there will be many coming into God's kingdom. 364 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:23,000 So the question that remains, have you stepped into the river of God or are you like the 365 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:31,240 people that Stephen saw on the vision standing on the bank, watching the river, but not stepping 366 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,240 in? 367 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,080 You can be in a great conference body like this today, but it doesn't mean that you're 368 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,520 stepping in. 369 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,160 You can be around great men of God. 370 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:45,120 You can be around the greatest preaching in the world, but it's a decision of your will 371 00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:48,440 that I'm going to put aside the complacency. 372 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,600 I'm going to put aside all the distractions and I'm going to step in to what God has for 373 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:54,600 my life. 374 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:59,640 There are many Christians that have heard about the river, about God's coming glory. 375 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,520 What happens when we hear about revival? 376 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,760 Yeah, yeah, we know that already. 377 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,700 But no, I believe the only answer at this moment for America is revival. 378 00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:14,600 They know what the Bible teaches about his miracle power flowing through his people. 379 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:20,220 They may have even experienced a portion of it in the past, in past revivals and past 380 00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:26,720 moves of God, yet they have failed to take the next step of going out into the deep where 381 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,840 they can immerse themselves in God's glory. 382 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:36,040 And I declare that in this coming move, if God is going to use you, he's going to have 383 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:42,300 to immerse you to walk in the supernatural and to see the miraculous. 384 00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:47,200 In these last days, you need to be willing to get off the banks and to move out with 385 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,640 God into the deep. 386 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,660 That's what region, the regions beyond and going beyond limits is all about. 387 00:26:53,660 --> 00:26:55,240 You want to find God's power. 388 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,640 It's in the doing. 389 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,640 It's in living on the edge. 390 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:03,400 It's getting off the bank and getting into the deep where God can use you and give you 391 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,040 an unction and anointing that you never had. 392 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:12,240 Joshua chapter three, 11 through 17, behold the Ark of the covenant of the Lord of all 393 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,240 the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan. 394 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:21,920 Therefore take for yourselves 12 men from the tribes of Israel, one man from every tribe 395 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:27,480 and it shall come to pass as soon as the souls of the feet of the priest who bear the Ark 396 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,640 of the Lord and the Lord of all the earth shall rest in the waters of the Jordan that 397 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,840 the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off. 398 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,880 The waters that come down from the upstream, they shall stand as a heap. 399 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,360 So it was when the people set out from their camp, they crossed over the Jordan with the 400 00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:48,360 priest bearing the Ark of the covenant before the people. 401 00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:52,240 And as those who bore the Ark came to the Jordan and the feet of the priest who bore 402 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:58,320 the Ark dipped into the edge of the water for the Jordan overflows all its banks during 403 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:04,240 the whole time of harvest that the waters which came down from upstream stood still 404 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:09,800 and rose in a heap very far away at Adam so that the waters that went down in the sea 405 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,360 of Arabah, the salt sea failed and were cut off. 406 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:17,920 And the people crossed over opposite Jericho than the priest who bore the Ark of the covenant 407 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:24,200 of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan and all Israel crossed 408 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:32,040 over on dry ground until all the people who had crossed completely over the Jordan. 409 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:38,880 So notice as soon as the feet of the priest carrying the Ark of the covenant stepped 410 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,920 into the water, the river parted. 411 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,840 If those priests hadn't taken those steps into the water, the people would have never 412 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,680 been able to enter into the promised land. 413 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:56,320 If you have not stepped out into the flow of God's river this morning, don't hesitate. 414 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:01,040 Don't settle for second best or just a dip in the water. 415 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:07,640 God is declaring get immersed, get filled all the way, get the baptism of the Holy Ghost 416 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,340 with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. 417 00:29:11,340 --> 00:29:13,320 Get all that God has for you. 418 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:19,640 Don't stop halfway but go all into the fullness of what God has. 419 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,320 We have to set our focus on the source of the flow. 420 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:30,300 Break through every hindrance, every lie, every barrier and take that first step. 421 00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:35,560 Maybe you're waiting in the mild current or you have believed a lie from the enemy that 422 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,240 you cannot do what God is calling you to do. 423 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,040 But remember that God is on your side. 424 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,080 He's saying yes you could do it. 425 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,760 Yes you can step out. 426 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,160 Yes a supernatural dimension can be upon you. 427 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,200 Yes that mighty signs and wonders can follow you. 428 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,120 Yes you can move in the gifts of the Holy Ghost. 429 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,240 Yes you can respond to a nation. 430 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:03,020 Yes you can go beyond limits because I believe you can. 431 00:30:03,020 --> 00:30:04,480 Remember it's the Lord who's calling you. 432 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,360 It's not man. 433 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,480 This fellowship is not calling you. 434 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:08,480 I'm not calling you. 435 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,720 It's God. 436 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,000 This is all about God. 437 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:18,680 To go in deeper, to get into the fullness of the Spirit we need to have an immersion 438 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,400 experience. 439 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,680 Not just a river play it safe experience. 440 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,080 River bank play it safe experience. 441 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,880 Jay Osworth Sanders said we're at this moment as close to God as we really choose to be. 442 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:36,000 True there are times when we like to know a deeper intimacy but when it comes to the 443 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,960 point that we're not prepared to pay the price involved. 444 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,600 There was a story about a man by the name of Paul Dawson. 445 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,200 He was saying we visited the Grand Coulee Dam. 446 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,680 He said my family and I were surprised to see that the visitor's center was dark. 447 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:59,040 It was a sunny day so we thought that the center might have tinted windows. 448 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,840 As soon as we got close we realized there was no lights on. 449 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:10,680 We went in and saw that none of the displays were working and suddenly it became clear 450 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,040 there was no power to the center. 451 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:18,480 Due to a technical difficulty of some kind the visitor's center that sat only a hundred 452 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,400 of feet from a hydroelectric dam had no power. 453 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:29,000 How could something be so close to the power source yet not be plugged in? 454 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,800 I want to ask you this morning in closing are you plugged in? 455 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,640 We nod in approval to the preaching. 456 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:35,640 That's good. 457 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,600 Good thought. 458 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,640 But are you plugged in? 459 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,560 We come to the altar to our little Catholic. 460 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,980 Five minutes and we're gone. 461 00:31:44,980 --> 00:31:46,640 Are you plugged in? 462 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,880 Are you desperate for God? 463 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,880 Are you desperate to be used in what God is going to do in these end times? 464 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,720 Do you want to be immersed? 465 00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:01,960 Do you want God to take you beyond your limitation because the point is we are all limited. 466 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,500 We are all limited in who we are. 467 00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:10,200 But there's a transcendency of God that comes upon us that enables us to be everything that 468 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:17,720 God has called us to be because we know who we are and because we know we are limited. 469 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,520 But with God all things are possible. 470 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:22,520 Hallelujah. 471 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:28,840 I want to pray this morning for individuals here today. 472 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:35,920 We're asking God to help you this week and I'm talking about a supernatural immersion. 473 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,080 You're tired. 474 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,400 I've come to conferences where I said, you know, unless God helps me this is it. 475 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,840 It's over for me. 476 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,180 And you're at that point right now, that's a good place to be because in desperation 477 00:32:46,180 --> 00:32:48,000 there comes faith. 478 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,520 When you're tired of yourself that's a great place to be. 479 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,960 I've tried, I tried, I can do it. 480 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,520 You're in a good place to be because now we realize God I need immersion. 481 00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,720 I need a touch of God. 482 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,560 I need a supernatural dimension. 483 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:02,560 You want God to meet with you. 484 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:03,760 I want to pray for you quickly. 485 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,520 I want you to stand for just a moment. 486 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,200 You want God to touch you right now. 487 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,560 You want God to move upon your life, your body, your ministry. 488 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:18,940 You're asking for a renewal of the Holy Ghost in your life, a freshness. 489 00:33:18,940 --> 00:33:21,880 We know that the letter kills but the Spirit brings forth life. 490 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,040 We need life, God, life that would flow. 491 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,720 That river that would flow in our ministry. 492 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,720 That river that would flow in our lives, break up the fallow ground. 493 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:35,600 And I want to pray with you today, God we're asking for a supernatural releasing of your 494 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,720 power. 495 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,720 We are your last days church. 496 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,480 We are entering into a new season. 497 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,880 God we're asking that you would be with us today. 498 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,160 That you would pour out of your spirit. 499 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,040 God our hearts are open. 500 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,560 We are limited creatures. 501 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,120 God you are the unlimited God. 502 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,960 Supernaturally meet with us. 503 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,360 Let there come impartation this week. 504 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,240 Let there come a reviving of our hearts. 505 00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:11,160 Let there come life into our church. 506 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:16,560 Let there come a dimension of God in supernatural signs and wonders. 507 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:21,360 Bring forth miracles right now. 508 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,060 God we receive it. 509 00:34:23,060 --> 00:34:25,440 We receive it right now. 510 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,360 We desire revival. 511 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,360 It's about your people. 512 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,360 We are a movement of people. 513 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:38,480 Thank you for
